While Ben was off with family and searching for Mother and Belief, Zeke and Eclipsa were with their own children, Zeke cradling a clearly sad Blake, his twin missing has put him into a depressed state, as it has Zeke.

Eclipsa kept looking towards where Eclipse Jr's crib was, it's emptiness almost haunting her as it sat there. She just couldn't leave it. A piece of her missing. Eclipsa let a tear run down her face as her blue hair gained faded gray highlights. “Eclipse….”

"Why them specifically?" Zele questioned aloud. "I doubt he just took three at random… so why them specifically?"

"Don't know… but it doesn't matter really why. It happened. I lost one of my children…" Eclipsa said, feeling hollow.

"I think it does." Zeke said, fixing up Blake's hair. "As far as we know the kids only relation is their potential. Nancy, my reborn aunt who likely would have kept up in her skills, only with power to boot, Nix, my daughter and only other female X-Blade aside from myself, and Eclipse Jr. Yours and Shy's son and having been given your name would have had quite the expectations placed on them."

“Jr… He is a survivor…. I can feel it. If he's anything like me, it doesn't matter his age, he is probably giving his captor’s hell.” Eclipsa chuckled, though the laugh felt forced, weak, empty.

"But what are his plans for them?" Zeke questioned as they moved over and laid their head on a part of Eclipsa's tail. "He said something about gathering allies… who would he gather. I'm going to assume among Admins he might not be that popular, even if Nexus accepts him, they'd be lacking the needed skills Admins have."

“Not like they need it. Nexus spans entire realms. Hell, they enslaved Fate herself. I… I just hope they aren't raised to be against us. I… I wouldn't be able to handle killing my own child…” Eclipsa said, tears starting to silently trail down her face.

"If that's Jericho's idea, it might be so. Question is will we see them grown up sooner, or they were meant to age over time?"

“Don’t really care right now… heh… heheheheh…. I used to think I knew dispair and depression…. I didn’t know the meaning of the words.”

"You're not alone in this Eclipsa. All of us are affected. I just want to know… why didn't you or Ben take Jericho seriously? I mean the guy literally split Cript in half escaping from him, that should have been the first major red flag?"

“You of all people should know that Zeke… I put on a mask. I hid just how afraid I was with an act of confidence, cockyness, arrogance…. I pretend like it isn't much of a threat… then normally they give me time… heh, hasn’t been working that way….. Zeke… I’m scared. I am truly terrified, and for the first time in a long time, there is nothing I can do to fix it.”

Zeke took a breath, pondering their next words. "I guess that's my advantage. I grew up always in danger. Everyone everywhere I went was terrified of me and my family, every cop and military Person on every continent wanted us dead. When that realization first hit me, I was so scared… but as time went on, I learned that I was ignoring the fear, treated it like just another day. The timelines where we met… you being the first person who saw who I saw… and didn't get scared. You scared me, that was the first time I felt scared in years."

"Would you believe me if I told you I was probably just as scared. But then I looked into your eyes… and all fear faded." Eclipsa said, transforming into her human form of Marcy. "Zeke… I need a hug…"

Zeke stood up, giving Eclipsa/Marcy a hug and not letting go of her or Blake. "Promise me Eclipsa… no more masks. No more facades. I only want to see and be with the real you, flaws and all."

Eclipsa hugged back, not even hiding her snobs as tears continued to fall down her face. “I always needed to be strong. I needed to protect everything. I-I didn't want to lose everything all over again and again… and it's starting again. I lost one of my children. I couldn't protect my baby! I-I worked so hard, gained all this power, for nothing!” She cries, the gray tips of her once pure blue hair starting to grow more prevalent.

"Not for nothing." Zele said softly in Eclipsa's ears. "Next threat that pops up, I want you to show it and everyone around the time that you lost being with family. The time gathering this power, was not wasted. Unleash hell. Just try not to destroy the neighborhood, okay?"

“I already missed most of my children’s lives as their parent… but I’ll try.” Eclipsa says with a sniff before chuckling mirthlessly “No promises on the survival of the neighborhood.”

"Please? I'd like to not have to move… again. Done that enough in life as is I'd like to have one stationary place to call home."

“I know. I don't want to lose the house I built with my own two hands anyways.” Eclipsa smiled slightly, despite the tears.

"And, ya know, crown funding." Zeke chuckled.

“Nope. My own money, and my own work…. Was a long month with the help of magic.” Eclipsa said, shuttering from the memory.

"Damn. And hey… we will find them. Of Jr is anything like you, he'll be a wild card, if Nix is anything like me, she'll be observant enough to know something is up, and if Nancy is still… My aunt Nancy well… yeah, she can handle herself."

Eclipsa rested her head below Zeke’s chin. “Thank you Zeke… though I still won't be a hundred percent until we have them back.” She admitted sadly.

"Neither will I." Zeke agreed. "I'm only calm right now because… this actually isn't the first time someone I care about has been taking from me hostage wise."

With a sigh, Eclipsa changed back into her naga form. “We will be strong… after all, Don't want all this time and enemy making to be for nothing.” She said with a small chuckle. Not a full laugh that Zeke was used to hearing, but at least not hollow like earlier.

"I have to ask… what happens to Spoiled when you do that? Does she shrink or gets squished in there or…?"

“Oh, now that I have full control over my transformations, I simply keep my internals that of a naga while having my external that of a human. Simple after having a clone practice it and give me the memories.”

"Yeah but shouldn't your gut have been… the size of a truck tire given both Spoiled, her kid, and yours? You were flat belly."

“Not to mention Chrysalis… she won't leave….”

"Wait What?"

“Apparently this world’s Chrysalis was daughter to one of the X-blade war survivors… and is currently corrupting Oblivion. To the point to where I wont be able to summon him or better half while around her. She also is a abusive fuck and didn’t even teach her daughter that love was an emotion, just food. Hell Chrysalis doesn't even know how to feel love, or anything really save for hunger and fear.”

"Yikes… seems like mine lucked out then."

“Yeah… still need to go kill the bitch and free oblivion… hell just mentioning that fuck I can feel Oblivion’s rage and guilt, and I dont have all you’re powers, just some.” Eclipsa said, placing a hand over her heart.

"Yeah. This whole thing is pretty odd, but useful." Zeke said, giving Eclipsa a kiss. "So… what are we going to do with your Chrysalis? I promised Spoiled a place in the family if she survives, what about her?"

“I want her to be able to make her own decisions, but she won't leave me, simply because, in a way, I love everything, even my enemies… except the bastard who took my baby and myself.” Eclipsa admitted to the last two.

"Heh. Well guess she's not leaving then. Maybe my Chrysalis can talk to her. She didn't have the exact same life but her mom was also a big bitch, just not a Keyblade war survivor."

“Worth a try.” Eclipsa shrugged before looking at the crib. With a sorrowful sigh she finally leaves the room. “Come on love… being here won't help anyone.”

Zeke nodded, placing Blake with Book Work as he and Eclipsa went off. The others were all by the door to Ben's castle. "There you two are." Zeke's Twilight spoke. "Ben called everyone to his castle for some reason."

“Sigh… he probably wants to pull an offensive already. It will fail without planning and preparation.” Eclipsa sighed out.

"To be fair we don't typically plan things that far out either." Zeke said.

“I’m not going to half ass it. Not with our kids on the line.” Eclipsa said firmly as she slithered in the direction of the portal/door.

As they arrived they saw all of Ben's wives were here also… it was a lot. "Christ, how does he have this many?" Zele asked.

“Read the stories, Ben is quite literally married to well over half his entire realm pre merge.” Eclipsa said, tossing a book titled Life of a Nobody at Zeke.

"... I have all the questions…"

Eclipsa just shrugged as she slithered into the meeting. “So, what is going on?”

"No idea." Twilight replied.

They watched as suddenly several hundred of Ben's Starfish clones began making a parameter around them all. "I don't like this…" Zele muttered.

“Glad you feel the same…” Eclipsa said, prepared to summon a barrier due to the air of unease she was feeling.

They watched as Ben brought out a flag bearing an outline of a hand with a blue dot in it's palm. "What… is that? A flag?"

“Blue dot on hand… god damn it!” Eclipsa hissed quietly, her eye twitching in anger.

They watched as Ben suddenly began burning it, making Eclipsa a little happy to see that. A few minutes passed until three blurs raced to the stage. Zeke and Eclipsa's hearts sank to their stomachs. Zele saw Rune up there… Eclipsa saw, Butterscotch...

“No… no no… please don't tell me.” Eclipsa said, anyone with the ability to see souls seeing the powerful red outline over her soul flicker and fade. “Scotch?” Eclipsa said, loud enough to be heard.

As Ben had his clones close in on the trio on stage, Rune grabbed the other two, arm lighting up with magic and symbols. "Wait, that's-!" Zele said, as dozens of portals opened up around the entirety of Ben's kingdom, and bizarre little robot machines poured out seemingly endlessly. "Summon gates!" Zeke yelled, summoning X.

Eclipsa just stood there in shock, unable to move as weight pressed heavily on her chest. “Scotch…. Please don't tell me.” Eclipsa said, not caring if she could or could not be heard over the panicked cries.

With the machines attacking the trio on stage bolted, Ben chasing them on foot and disappearing from Eclipsa's sight. Zeke was slashing at the machines, they fell easily, but he quickly noticed their intact pieces kept moving, moving towards other fallen bots, scrapping and rebuilding themselves. "Fucking Iron Giant rip off!" Zeke yelled, stomping one into a pancake before rushing to move Eclipsa from getting hit by one. "Come on babe, don't freeze up on me now." Zeke said as he tried to get Eclipsa to respond.

The red faded from her eyes as she stood up, her blue hair now gray, only the roots still being blue. “I… I can’t….” She said, tearing up as energy started to built up around her, the gray powering itself, the other wives, and Zeke to insane degrees as she continued to cry. The energy was creating a visible grey light where her heart was as tears dripped onto the rubbled floor below her.

"Eclipsa look at me, Look at me!" Zeke yelled, shaking her till she made eye contact with him. "You promised me that next threat you would show whatever Enemy that popped up that all this power you gained was not worth the loss you suffered. I need you to make good on that promise now."

Eclipsa looked at Zeke, before looking at her hands. “.....okay….” She said as she clenched them into fists. Complex Spell circles started to surround Eclipsa, each being pushed to its limits with grey as the room seemed to get colder by the second. “Fine… but remember Zeke…. I fight for my family… so what do I do when one might have been the trator?” She didn't wait for a response before she breathed out. “Everything is Grey: Eternal Ice” Suddenly, the spells unleashed as the shear force of the mana caused the entire realm to tremor. All the robots attacking suddenly found themselves frozen in ice so cold, even the big bang wouldn't melt it. “There… for now.” she said as the ice continued to freeze and travel through the portals.

Shortly after that. Zeke clutched their head, screaming as in the distance something exploded with the force of a tactical nuke. "Fuck! Rune blew up her Keyblade!"

“Oh… right… Rune as well…” Eclipsa said, only she sounded… Off. The last of the color faded from her as she sounded monotone, near lifeless. “I suppose we should go help then…” Eclipsa said her arms hanging limply at her sides.

The pain faded as Zeke felt Ben had somehow fixed Rune's old Keyblade. "Damn it." He said as new portals opened up, Psychopaths pouring from these ones. "EClipSa." Zeke said, his eyes shifting Red. He spun around faster than she noticed. "YoU beTTeR GrIT tHosE teeTH?" Zeke said through the Psychopath blood, delivering a Psychopath, Grey, Balance, Nothingness… and Humanity fueled punch to his lovers cheek. The impact was strong enough to slam Eclipsa's face into the side of a building. Zeke then quickly used the same force to knock a Psychopath trying to attack them into orbit. "We AlL gO thRouGh oUr oWN perSonAL HeLlS. If We gIvE uP bE caUsE of WhaT wE fEel wE caN'T HanDle, thEn we Don'T dEservE to staNd anD bE whErE wE aRe nOw!"

Eclipsa picked herself up out of the rubble, panting as she wiped some blood of her cheek. SHe stared down at the red stain on her fur before closing her eyes. When she opened them again, while her hair body and soul still remained missing color, her eyes were back to their insanity filled blood red. Wincing, she slithered over. "Thank you love, and I’m sorry in advance, but I always wanted to do this to the hive mind.” Eclipsa said before kissing Zeke… and empowering her Insanity, using the grey as a battering ram to brute force her way into the hive mind, corrupt it with insanity. Each bash of the ramb caused a throb in her head but she continued, mentally seeing the cracks begin to form on the wall separating her Insanity from the rest of the Psychopaths. “Just,.... A Little…. More…” She said with a cry, growing weak physically as she started to feel something wrong with her body, yet somehow it was strengthening her mental attack.

The wall shattered as all the nearby Psychopaths began crying out from Eclipsa's attack on their hive mind. After a whole some fled while others tried to keep their run of Carnage up. "Best way to kill Psychopaths is with a Psychopath." Zeke said, letting someone else take the wheel.

Emerging from the shift came a hail of bullets hitting multiple Psychopaths, followed by long pistols and white gloves. "Hey there ya sons of beaches!" Alucard said as he popped out. "Did somebody order a badass?!"

“No, I ordered a noble knight, but I guess you’ll do- gahh!” Eclipsa cried out as her entire lower half felt tight, her lower half now unable to support her as her Insanity continued to attack and corrupt more and more of the hive mind.

"Woah there cinnamon tits what's happening?" Alucard asked, genuine worry on his face despite the comment.

“I-I think the babies chose the wrong fucking time to want out!” Eclipsa yelled out as her mental attacks were systematically causing soldiers to drop vegetables, but not enough to keep herself safe.

"Oh fuck that is not my area of expertise. I prefer to put the baby in I have no idea how to help it out." Alucard said as he fired several bullets into the mouth of a still moving Psychopath trying to attack them. "Look between the robots and red eyed fucks I can't help ya, I can defend you but unfortunately you might be on your own on the delivery part." He said, taking several more shots. Suddenly more portals opened as what looked like soldiers were marching out of them, each bearing Nexus marking. "And now there's these A-holes."

“Son of a fucking cunt fuckity fucking bastards!” Eclipsa screamed out as she sent out a rage furled line of Grey to Alucard. “Go wild and let me deal with this fucking shit you useless fuck!” Eclipsa said before crying out again.

"Well since you asked so nicely." Alucard said, placing his hands together. "I always wanted to try this!" He said, the Grey powering himself. His heart glowing bright as suddenly massive blue DTL's appeared around them. "Reverse Rebirth. Charge!" Suddenly from Alucards portals countless Keyblade wielders, bodies made from light and darkness, creating Silhouettes of who they were before came marching out, each wielding their Keyblades. "Kill them all, let that dickwad God sort them out!" Alucard commanded as the past Keyblades wielders charged.

“Holy fuuuuuucck” Eclipsa whimpered and cried, feeling herself dilate as she started to breath heavily. “Oh gods!”

As the Silhouette wielders attacked Alucard summoned Keyblades commanded them in waves to strike as well. He looked over at Eclipsa, and winced a bit. "Fiiine. Seras Victoria! Get your big titied police girl ass over here now! You master/Sugar daddy gave you an order!"

Said female vampire appeared immediately. "Master!" Seras said with a salute.

"Help snake boobs here with her birthing children." Alucard said, Seras nodding and moving to Eclipse's side. "It's alright mum. I have a surprisingly large amount of experience in this."

“Oh yeah? Ever help give birth to fifteen?!” Eclipsa yelled, not thinking really at all.

"Yes! Cerberus, damn dog was the size of New York and I made sure all those mutts were alive on birth!"

“Well aint hat just peachy- FUCK!” She cried out as she felt something the size of a watermelon start to push towards the entrance, or in this case, exit.

Seras widened her eyes, gazing lower down Eclipsa's tail. "Shit the mum inside you is birthing too!"

“Cause of course why fucking not!” Eclipsa cried out before regurgitating Spoiled so she could get help as well.

Seras began pondering options, then had an idea. "Mum! Permission to use your own biology against you mum!"

“Fuck it fine!” Eclipsa cried out as it felt like every muscle in her body was on fire.

Ceras's vampiric arm that was largely energy pulsated, then shoved itself down her vaginal lips, spreading them wide, surprisingly pain free to Eclipsa's surprise, and reached the first foal, her arm scooping them out, then sliding inside Eclipsa's womb and taking out the rest. In one rapid motion all fifteen were birthed at once, Seras using her arm cut the umbilical cords and clean them quickly, and each crying bundle of life was handed to Eclipsa. Using the same arm to shove it down Eclipsa's throat and pull out Spoiled. Despite the tiredness and emotions Eclipsa felt, she was still mortified to see Spoiled's condition. Her skin was covered in Nothingness thorns and splotches of darkness.

"Spoiled?" Eclipsa panted out, trying to get the mare to respond to something.

"It… hurts…" She wheezed out, coughing up liquid Nothingness and Darkness as she cried blood. The veins along her body darkened and became fully visible, her fur coat turned snow white as he mane and tail turned a pale silver.

Transferring her babies to be held in her tail, Eclipsa reached out and held on to Spoild’s hoof, ignoring the agony of the act. “You ... got this… For Tiara…. For your baby…” Eclipsa said over the chaos around them.

Spoiled began pushing, each push changed her. First her colors, now more mutation like. Horns emerged from her head, her teeth once flat now sharp like needles, her hooves grew talons like a griffon and her legs scaled over like those on a drake. The head of the baby was coming out, and Eclipsa saw the pony ears, head… arms. The infant was born. A body that of an anthropomorphic equine sprawled on the ground, it's crying summoned Heartless and Nobodies alike.

“Seras… please help Alucard… I’ll keep us safe.” Eclipsa said, casting a shield that was only being held up by the grey strengthening it. “Spoiled… you did it…” The infant had Spoiled's colors, but only her coat, their mane was the same dirty blond as Zeke's. Kexez, Eclipsa thought. It held a black heart symbol on it's chest. Spoiled was breathing, slowly and steady thankfully. Carefully, Eclipsa levitated the colt into Spoiled’s arms. “You did it…

"B-bearly…" she heaved, looking at the colt. "You… were way worse… than Tiara…" Spoiled said, looking over her newfound body. "What… happened to me?"

“Don’t know… but it doesn't look to bad…. Heh… a mama bear … so, what is their name?” Eclipsa said, nuzzling Spoiled, not caring that her own hand is bleeding from nothingness thorns and the claws.

"I was giving that most of my thoughts. I kept leaning towards Dairy."

“Dairy… adorable name.” Eclipsa says, looking at her fifteen children, some pony naga, two with human torso’s, and three with wolf torso’s. “They are beautiful.” Eclipsa says with tears in her eyes.

"Some birth." Spoiled says, the chaos around them settling some, the robots and Psychopaths are gone, it's just some still attacking soldiers.

Alucard was picking them off from distance from his range limit to Eclipsa. "The Nazies were more fun." He grumbled.

“Sorry Ally. Maybe next time we can both go on a bloodbath.” Eclipsa apologized, currently feeding her children.

"Yeah well not a lot of things can give me a thrill. Those Psychopaths on the other hand were fun. So, what's your next move?"

“I don’t know.” Eclipsa said, not taking her bloody hand away from Spoiled.

"You lost your child. The mommy daddy of that child is a traitor to you, and then pervert co wife you thought a good friend was using you." Alucard said, kneeling down to Eclipsa. "If I were you I'd want answers, and if I don't like what I get, I'd start killing."

“I… don’t have my will to fight anymore. My children have always been my priority, and getting Jr back is the only reason I keep trying… but Scotch… why. Why would he do this to me, to our family.” Eclipsa said, trying not to cry and worry her babies.

"The same reason anyone would. Loss of respect."

“I...I tried everything to protect my family….” Eclipsa said, depressed.

"But did you try actually being there for them? To stay to ensure they were safe?"

“I tried! Hell, until recently I spent a whole year with them, unwilling to leave again for extended time!” Eclipsa shouted before having to calm down her babies.

"Was that before, or after you fucked up?"

“After…”

“Then there’s your answer. You were gone for fist a few days, then weeks, then months. Then lastly a full year, and in that year so many bad things happened. How hard would it have been to just ask for the help? To have asked for the teachers to teach you at home like in the first days after meeting Zeke? In the end, you just didn’t think about the consequences.”

Eclipsa just sat there, silently weeping as all the guilt and self hate came back, fueled by betrayal, and the knowledge that it was all her fault.

Just as quickly as she began crying Alucard stood up, kicking her square in the jaw hard enough to break it and knock out two teeth. "Don't take that weepy self loathing bullshit with me bitch. Yes, you fucked up. Now own it, learn from it, make it strengthen you, fuel your drive to strive for what you still care for, to fix your mistake. And if you can't fix that, make one you can fix. Rebuild yourself until when you look back at where you started you can't even fathom having been such a little bitch." Alucard then kneeled before her. "Entegra may be my Master, but you are my, our weider. Prove to me, to use you still deserve that right and stand the fuck up like the half man/woman/sexy snake beast you are. If I've been able to do it then surely you can too. Now then," Alucard raised his head, looking Eclipsa dead in the eyes. "Are you our wielder, or are you some cry baby bitch who loses once and gives up"

After healing her teeth, Eclipsa sighed. “You’re an ass, you know that?” She says with a chuckle before grabbing Alucard and dragging him down to her level. “Next time don’t kick me in front of the babies.” She said, headbutting him, chiping a fang and making him look like a human, evil Discord.

"Heh. Now there's the Eclipsa I like to see. Wild and kind all in one. Now then, got a plan?"

“Currently? Recover, and maybe take a nap. Heck, maybe invite spoiled into the family, safer for her and the child. Do be a dear and look after us, giving birth is exhausting.” Eclipsa says, her eyelids growing heavy.

"Right then."

The next day Eclipsa woke up, fed the kids, and saw that Tokoyami was the one in control, out and about today. “Hey Toko, How are you holding up?” Eclipsa asked, depression still laced in her voice, though it didn’t have the same hopelessness of the previous day.

“Please call me by my full name.” he asked, reading a book without a title on it. “I’m not big on nicknames.”

“Meh, alright Tokoyami.” Eclipsa shrugged before sitting down in her chair and letting out a long sigh.

“Heard it was a long day yesterday. A lot has happened. Seems the enemy has made their move, now what should ours be?”

“I don’t know. It...It’s still hard to believe that Scotch betrayed us.” Eclipsa said, taking a glance to the place that he normally sat.

“Everyone has a reason for their actions, whatever theirs, we might figure out someday. Till then I got word that a lot of people, even worlds, are vanishing. Ben has shared the list and a name , several actually, come up from my world.”

“We should visit. Besides, it’d be nice to catch up and see them again for you.” Eclipsa suggested

“I was thinking the same thing. Besides that I also want to investigate this personally. Inform some people and maybe even see my parents.”

“Alright then, give me a moment to check on the kids and then we can go.” Eclipsa said with a stretch.

Eclipsa checked on the infants, each was well and fed. As she was placing the last of them down she turned, seeing Star was the doorway. “Going on a trip?” They asked.

“Yeah.. Tokoyami wants to check on his home… Star, did...Did you know Scotch was going to do this? Any hints?” Eclipsa asked, not meeting Star’s eyes.

Star gave a sigh, shaking their head. "I used to pride myself on my ability to read others, but I misread Scotch completely. I could not have seen or predicted this at all. I do believe there is still hope for them."

“So do I Star… how is Blitz handling it? He and Scotch were closer than even you and I.”

"Blitz is… well, it's hard to say. I know they have been friends from foalhood but Blitz, from. What I can pry out of them, never even knew Fluttershy was in this Nexus thing. There was no hints or even anything in the background. All Blitz can think of is that her special 'summer camp' and 'home schooling' might have been the only times Fluttershy was in her Nexus life. From Ben's version of me, has said it seems Nexus was a lot more complicated than we thought. He saw Coco's memories when fighting the Void Key and saw it was actually fairly nice. Nice people, fun upbringing. Apparently there was some kind of civil war after someone named Vincent died and after that all I know is that Coco was very close to someone named Krot and she trusted him like family. Getting that much out of Ben's ice cream binge was hard enough for the other me."

“Heh… Thank Alucard that I’m not the same right now.. It… you and scotch were my first loves of this life. And though I was never home, it… filled me with joy to be welcomed home every time, even when I didn't deserve it. But now I have to wonder if it was all a lie, for Scotch at least.” Eclipsa sighed.

"You'll have to ask them yourself, whenever if ever they reappear."

"Something tells me they will… for one reason or another." Eclipsa sighed, giving Star a kiss before heading off. Tokoyami had the portal ready and they entered, arriving just outside the school they first failed to protect him at. "Been a while."

"That it has. I wonder how Daybreak has helped the people here. Quirks are one things we, even a century after their appearance, still try to adjust to, but Keyblades are a ballpark all in their own right." Tokoyami said.

“Makes your world seem so much smaller.” Eclipsa said.

“Every world seems so much smaller now.” Tokoyami said. “Being connected to them all, to Everyone… it’s overwhelming. I’ve spent a lot of time researching and living in the dark, my Quirk was for a longtime a double edged sword, while powerful and very ranged, it’s also more wild and dangerous in the dark, within the realm inside my chest, our hear, I’ve learned about the deepest depths of true darkness, the ones that meet the void...and I learned I can control that wild nature of my Quirk, and that of all the other versions of me with similar,even vastly different quirks. It’s strange, but even though I can control it, I still fear it.”

“Great power is something to fear. In the wrong hands it can be devastating.” Eclipsa agreed. “Of course, obtaining such power… always comes at some price.”

“True words.” Tokoyami said.

“So, why are you here anyway?”

“We’ve all been sensing hearts of those who follow Evil have been vanishing. No trace, not able to be located no matter where we search. Its almost like they never existed at all.”

“Really?” Eclipsa asked. “Like who?”

“On myworld, for example, it’s some high profile individuals. The leader of whom is known as All For One, and his disciple Shigaraki, as well as nearly every major, even minor villains have vanished.”

“Must be Jericho.” Eclipsa said, her expression now more serious. “You want to look for confirmation?”

“Not exactly.” Tokoyami said, walking into the Student Dorm building. “I need to speak with Bakugo.”

“Bakugo?” Ecipsa asked.

“A former classmate of mine, stubborn and violent, hard headed, but tactical and learning."

“Heh, sounds like me back in the day… then I grew up. Learned the consequences of my actions… and even now am paying for it.”

"We all pay for our mistakes in some form or another. Some repayments are worse than others." They stopped outside the door with the name Bakugou over it and Tokoyami knocked.

The door opened. "Bird boy? Been a while." Bakugo, a wild haired angry looking teen spoke. "What brings you to my door and how fast can you leave?"

"I was wondering that also?" Eclipsa asked.

"I need to speak with you." Tokoyami asked simply.

"Well what is it?" Bakugo asked annoyed.

"All of you…" Tokoyami said, as if clarifying something.

Bakugo just opened his eyes a bit. Sighed and hung his head low. "Fine." He said, summoning No Name.

"That's the same Keyblade the Tiara's have." Eclipsa said.

"Yes. One person from each world and all their reflections has this Keyblade." Tokoyami said. "They keep an eye on things for their respective world. Stop and cause events to transpire as needed. They watch over time itself. Still can't believe you're this world's TimeWalker, Bakugo."

"Shut up." He hissed. He raised No Name, it flashing a blue light twice before a portal opened behind him in the style of a clock. "Head in there. I'll be waiting for you five years from now."

"What?" Eclipsa asked.

"Terminology for time traveling is… confusing." Tokoyami said, he and Eclipsa entering the portal. Once though they were met with a cloak wearing Bakugo, much older, the cloak black but held designs of blue hour glasses that seemed to tick away slowly. "Took ya long enough."

"It was one second…" Eclipsa said.

"Five years for me." Bakugo said. "Yeash, well come on, and what is it you wanted to talk about?"

"Where is One for All? I know his heart and many others are missing from this world, the same is happening on many other worlds as well." Tokoyami said.

"Tsk. Yeah we know about that. And the short of it, is Jericho. He's picking them up faster than we can predict. All traces of them gone too."

"Physical or Temporal?" Tokoyami asked.

Bakugo grinned. "Smart bird. Both actually, which is weird, hiding physical tracks is easy, but Temporal tracks? Only other time walkers can do that. No one in our organization can do that, so it's likely a third party."

"I see." Tokoyami said.

“Any leads?” Eclipsa asked.
