Chapter 12: Tanned Muscle Girls vs a Fluffy Dragon, Part 1

[The M-Class ship Milano, the Triangulum Galaxy]

"We got away…" Rudeus muttered disbelievingly as he leaned back in his chair- a beautiful sight of entire galaxies of stars in front of him here in the cockpit of the ship. "We. got. away."

The sheer improbability of it still floored him after two whole hours. He escaped that hellhole of a planet? He escaped Hevnokren and that psycho bomb loli? Granted, he lost most of his harem, but still… he was still in one piece right? He brought up a holographic mirror. Two shota arms, two shota legs, two shota eyes (green), one shota head (light brown hair), and one love mark underneath his left eye. Yeah, he definitely made it in one piece. But it bears saying once more.

"I can't believe we managed to get away!" He yelled out in unimaginable relief. "Oh thank every god out there! But most of all…"

He jumped out of his chair and assumed the dogeza position to his saviour- on his knees, forehead and palms to the floor.

"Thank you, Mirko-sama! I am in your debt!" He sincerely announced, "Please allow me to repay you in any way I can!"

His rabbit girl hero from My Hero Academia. His knight in shining white leotard with her red eyes, snowy-white hair, long bunny ears, tanned skin, luscious toned muscles, thick muscular thighs left bare and flexing and… okay, he shouldn't get carried away. But come on! She didn't just land in his strike zone- she was his strike zone. Still, his gratitude for her was real at least.

"Hehehehe! I got my two lucky rabbit's feet, is all!" Mirko laughed out loud, before adopting a toothy, teasing grin that made him feel like he was the rabbit and she was a big bad wolf. "But I'm not going to turn down backrubs, Ru-kun!"

Standing up from his dogeza, he grinned back at her.

"D-deal!" He stuttered with his grin- trying to hide his arousal. Yeah, he could think of worse people to be stuck in space for a while. Speaking of which…

"Er, Mirko?" He looked up and around the ship that they were in "How are you flying this ship again?"

"I don't know." She shrugged with a sheepish grin. "I've just been pressing buttons and levers at random. But it also helps that most of it is in English."

Her gloved hands tapped away at one of the holographic displays for a few seconds, and another display popped up. And like she said, the text on it was unmistakably in english.

Destination: Earth

Estimated-Time-to-Arrival: 34 Hours.

"See?" Mirko smiled- gesturing with a gloved hand at the display, "I guess it has autopilot to get us there?"

"I see." Rudeus nodded with a smile. Mirko was more resourceful than he gave her credit for apparently. It's good to see his waifus growing in ways that he didn't anticipate. His fist clenched at the thought of his lost harem. Hevnokren took most of them, most of them perishing to that bomb loli. And Rudeus swore to himself. He'll win this PvP, and he'll get them back. He'll get them all back.

"Now we just have to kick back and relax." She cackled as she rested her bunny feet on the console, "Too bad that there isn't a way to get any more Company Credits until we find someone for you to stamp."

"Uh… there is a way." Rudeus answered, feeling stupid for only saying it now.

"What!?" His bunny girl immediately jolted up- her red eyes momentarily widening in surprise before narrowing in suspicion, "Wait… there's a catch isn't there? 'Cause that sounds like a too good a deal."

"Yeah… basically that." He admitted as he thought about it, "I take out a loan of Company Credits. And I can use it to buy someone useful."

"I see…" Mirko calmed down and adopted an uncharacteristic look of deep thought for a few seconds before looking him straight in the eye, "We could really use some help, Ru-kun. Right about now."

Desperate times call for desperate measures. His small hand trembled slightly as he held up his Company Tablet close to his face. He didn't have a choice: He needed the back up. He had to go into debt with the Company and maybe purchase something or someone that could help him. Yeah, Mirko was right. It was the only way to win this PvP match against Hevnokren now.

And with a single tap, he took a loan of the full 300 Credits.

"There, I did it." he smiled proudly at Mirko who immediately caught his head in a hold- crushing his face against her toned biceps and rock-hard abs- ruffling his hair as she guffawed.

"And just like that- we're back in the fight, Ru-kun!" She cheered with a wide toothy grin, and Rudeus couldn't help but be swept away by her confidence.

And despite it looking like an a really steep uphill battle, Rudeus could feel that there was a ray of hope for him. That there was still a way to win this PvP, and to think, when he first got this match up, he had said…

[Rudeus' Grand Manor] (36 Hours ago)

"There's no way we could lose now."

Rudeus' young prepubescent voice left the question in the air as he watched his main harem members spar and train in the courtyard of his manor.

After freaking out and panic buying whatever Company Defence he could get a hold of for the first four hours, he finally calmed down and really thought about it (while staring at his muscle girls). And after almost 8 hours of nonstop ogling, he came to a conclusion.

"Even with just 36 remaining before they were transported, I think we have this in the bag." He muttered.

From his spot lounging on cushioned pool chair at the patio, he watched his beloved waifus spar just a few dozen metres away- working up a lovely sheen of sweat that glistened over the exposed skin of their scantily clad and perfectly muscled bodies.

"Did you seriously just ask 'How can we possibly lose'?" Ghislaine, his tanned and very muscled catgirl, probed- squeezing her massive muscular thighs together and adding more pressure to his skull for just a second to highlight how stupid she thought his question was. His favourite position to relax in.

"You said that we must be confident in our victory." Rudeus grunted as he almost came in his pants.

"A warrior must have confidence in their own abilities, that's true. Just as you swing your sword with the intent to cut your opponent, so too must you walk onto the battlefield with the intent to win." His sword sensei and first waifu lectured in a languid, cat-like tone, "But a true warrior always remembers that victory is never certain."

Oh, if this was how he was going to die. It would at least be a hell of a way together- his head crushed between her massive thigh muscles as she instructs him about the way of the warrior.

"Sorry," He ground out as his cheeks were encased with tanned thighs, "I can't help but feel confident when I see you all training so hard."

"Well, while we're on that topic…" Ghislaine trailed off as her thighs loosed their grip around his head. Then his head was released from its muscle girl thigh-prison and he couldn't help but feel disappointed as she stood up.

But disappointment turned to surprise as the amazonian cat girl grabbed him by the collar and dashed off with him. And within a fraction of a second, Rudeus found himself alone with Ghislaine in a free training field. And he froze at that, his green eyes swivelling to Ghiislaine in fear and arousal. No doubt, his little shota body was going to be dominated by this 6'6" (198 cm) amazon cat girl with her rock-hard muscles. Pounded into the grass by her hips more like.

"No, we're not going to do that! You're not going to charm your way out of training." Ghislaine muttered- the lightest dusting of a blush on her cheeks. "We can indulge you more after we win… for now…"

She tossed him his sword- a european style shortsword that fit his stature as a shota. He didn't usually fight with swords as he preferred a more magic-caster style of combat.

"Let's warm up for our battle with this hostile Contractor." She motioned- raising her still sheathed sword up for his safety. And Rudeus couldn't help but grin, he may not be able to match her in a straight sword fight. But his

"Yes, sensei! I'm ready for you!" He shouted back with a determined expression and a flourish of his sword.

"Me?" Ghislaine chuckled with a small smirk, "Don't you mean us?"

And that's when Rudeus noticed that the sound of his waifus sparring had stopped: He didn't like where this was going.

A dark blur appeared beside the amazonian catgirl to reveal… another tanned cat girl. Clad in a form-fitting black backless leotard, Shihoin Yoruichi from Bleach winked her amber-yellow eyes at him. Her skin like the purest, smoothest milk chocolate as her black leotard did nothing but emphasise every single curve she had while leaving her thighs bare for his viewing pleasure

"Rudy-boya~" Yoruichi sing-songed with a cat-like smirk, "I got the three of us together 'cause I thought that we should train you in dealing with multiple opponents at the same time."

"Three?" Rudy gulped.

Another blur appeared beside Yoruichi, also tanned but this time a bunny girl. Usagiyama Rumi, or just 'Mirko', as she likes to be called. The Rabbit Hero from My Hero Academia/Boku no Hero Academia. The white and blue leotard and blue thigh-high stockings that she wore left her toned arms and very muscular thighs exposed. Long white rabbit ears extended up- twitching slightly at every sound.

"Oi! Oi! It was my idea, don't just claim it as yours!" Mirko protested at the kunoichi cat girl before turning to him and giving him a toothy grin. "Don't worry, Ru-kun, it'll be good training!"

"Uh… don't you think this is a bit unfair for me?" Rudeus hesitated, tightening his grip on his shortsword as he glanced at the three amazonian ladies surrounding him.

"Bad guys like to gang up on heroes." Mirko sympathised with a casual toss of her long snow-white hair over her shoulder, "I don't think this Contractor is going to be any different."

Rudeus didn't like his odds. A bunny girl and two cat girls- all of them taller, stronger and had much more combat experience than him- were going to do their best to beat him up. That and he was always at a disadvantage around these particular three: Tanned skin, check. Muscle tone, check. Thick thighs, triple check. Furthermore, he was a spellcaster type, not a frontline tank dammit!

"Well, if you think we can't satisfy you, Rudy-boya…" Yoruichi teased- tapping her chin like she was thinking it over, "We can always get the others to join in too: Bisky-chan, Erza-chan, Irene-chan and Bayonetta-chan…"

"No! The three of you are great!" He immediately denied with just a hint of desperate pleading. "I'll stick to harsh training, instead of just a beating!"

"That fighting spirit is good." Ghislaine nodded with a small smile before turning serious, "Don't hold back, Rudy. Because we won't."

And as one, all four of them charged him just as he loosed his own magical barrage. And he was suddenly under a ferocious attack from all sides- but it was more than just physical perfection that he was being subjected to. His luscious muscle girls were practising a discipline that unified the Magic of Fairy Tail, the Zankensoki of Bleach, the Nen manipulation of HunterxHunter- making all three work in perfect harmony. And it was only because he had assembled the foremost experts in those three aspects that they were able to unite them under one unified discipline through three 'easy' steps.

Condition the body, focus the mind, and temper the soul.

It gave them the strength of a hundred mortal men (at the very least). It sharpened their senses to supernatural degrees. It made their skin unpierceable by blades. It shielded them from all the elements. It made them move faster than sound. It gave them incredible powers that encompassed everything from simple energy blasts that could blow hills off the ground to projecting magical barriers and prisons to emitting fire, ice, lightning from their fingertips and so much more.

After this, maybe he'll buy someone from Naruto so that they can incorporate ninjutsu into their collection. Or maybe even a waifu from Dragonball! Now that would make their unified discipline into something truly overpowered. Nothing will be able to stop them afterwards when they could just punch solar systems out of existence.

And as the blows continued to land on him, Rudeus was able to take comfort in the fact that he was at least able to graze some of them too with his magic. He was never a frontline fighter anyway. But still, he could say that he was proud of how far his waifus had come. Maybe all those Company Defences were for nothing, but at least, he had peace of mind.

They were going to win this PvP battle for sure! It didn't matter who this Chaotic Evil Contractor or what waifu they had!

[Asgard]

"There were no Gods to be found here in Asgard, only a different set of mortals with their usual petty squabbles." Johanna Schmidt muttered as she glanced back to the Royal Palace of Valaskjalf before continuing on through the ruin of the war-torn streets of Asgard.

"At least, you can all rest easy knowing that your legacy will at least live on in Sakaarian technology, Asgardians." She finished with a sigh.

Asgard continued to burn as Odin and Thor continued their civil war- egged on by the honeyed words of both Loki and Sylvie. So preoccupied with their frenzied fratricide were the Asgardians that no one- not even the all seeing Heimdall, had any clue of her invisible figure skulking away from the Royal Palace - a valuable bounty of books and scrolls in her possession.

"And to think, I had worshipped them once." She shook her head.

When Hev had first told her to come with him to Asgard, she had been ecstatic at first at the possibility of meeting the Gods that she studied and revered for more than twenty years of her mortal life. Then she actually met the Asgardians and found them to be utterly. And irrevocably. Disappointing.

Odin, Thor, Frigga, Loki, Brunnhilde, Heimdall and all the rest- were all so frustratingly mortal. And she was forced to accept that truth: All those naysayers that had preached to her over the years- telling her that it was all fantasy and make believe- were proven right. The Norse Mythology was just that. Myths. But if there was a silver lining to all this, it would be the Asgardians' technology.

"The Crown Jewel of Odin's Vault indeed. Hev needs to know of this." She muttered to herself as she entered her hideout through a hole blown through its side.

In the wake of the first ever Asgardian Civil War, many Asgardians fled their homes near the palace to seek refuge at the outer reaches of Asgard where fighting was less fierce. Spacious manors left abandoned- the walls carved from rock and gilded with gold left to the ravages of the civil war. And in one such abandoned Asgardian manor, piles and piles of Asgardian arms and armour lay strewn about across the interior in messy metal heaps- their secrets and inner workings pried out of them.

It has served her purposes so far.

And in the centre of it all, Johanna carefully sat her prize on her workbench- admiring the shimmering gold that was woven onto the Asgardian texts. A shiver of awe and wonder ran down her back as she comprehended the possibilities of what she had discovered. And with a flex of her will, her magic-comms earpiece established a connection to Hevnokren.

"Johanna, what do you have for me?" Hev's deep voice rumbled in her ear.

"Hev, I found the answers we were looking for." She urgently whispered to Hev through our magic-comms. "The Asgardians' records of their technology- the foundations of their very civilization… everything that had been built from their understanding of the Tesseract! Just as how the transistor made radios, television, radar and computers possible. This magical equivalent will rocket our technology decades ahead! Our guns, our shields, our engines, our communications, even our agriculture will be the most advanced in the entire galaxy!"

"That's good to hear." Hev agreed in a casual tone, and Johanna wanted to chide him for making light of such a huge discovery… but instead, something clicked in her mind and she came to a stark realisation.

"You anticipated that Brunnhilde was going to spark a civil war..." Johanna whispered, "You wanted me to be here to reverse engineer their technology… "

She could hear Hev shrug in response.

"I had a suspicion that Brunnhilde would do that, yes. But even if she didn't, Loki was going to Loki." He admitted, and she could certainly believe that- the God of Mischief was the type of person to start trouble without much input. Which also pointed her to the reason why he chose her of all people to infiltrate Asgard.

"No one else possessed the sheer familiarity with Tesseract-based technology to know what to look for… So you sent me." Johanna surmised. She had always thought Hevnokren to be one of those uneducated barbarian hedonist types who couldn't see further than their own immediate need, and yet, he kept showing a dangerous amount of cunning combined with long-term planning.

"I brought you along mostly because I thought it would be funny to see your reaction to Heimdall and Brunnhilde. You being here to reverse engineer Asgardian technology was only a pleasant bonus." Hev barked in laughter.

"Of course…" Johanna sighed- palming her face in a gloved hand. "Humour at my expense. I should have known."

"You should also know that I have acquired the Reality Stone." Hev stated simply, as if it was no big deal. And that startled her.

"What? When was this?!" Johanna demanded in surprise.

"Just now, I'm back at Sakaar at the moment with the rest of HYDRA putting it to good use." he answered simply. "With the addition of the Reality Stone to our transmutation efforts, we now have a practically unlimited supply of every possible material in the known universe."

"Even Vibranium?" She hesitated.

"Even Vibranium." He nodded smugly, "We are now on track to produce more Vibranium than Earth ever can."

They were one step closer then. One step closer to establishing a pantheon of gods that would rival even the fantastical Norse myths that she had only recently found to be hyperboles. And she, Johanna Schmidt, would be one of them- imposing her unchallenged rule over entire galaxies. It was… overwhelming.

"I see." Johanna tried to keep her composure by deflecting topics, "Our resident transmutation expert and earth deity must be overjoyed to possess such a tool."

"Zhongli?" Hev barked in laughter, "He is still sulking from how he has basically been one upped by a piece of rock. Transmuting platinum, silver and even plutonium from dirt is now easier than ever. The Geo Archon, a deity of earth, now forced into temporary unemployment by a rock. Priceless."

"I can imagine." She allowed a small laugh as well. Tearing down false gods and having them humiliated was rapidly becoming more amusing the more time she spent in Asgard.

"Still, you managed the scrolls and the books, but did you get the Item I asked for?" Hev prompted with interest, and Johanna couldn't help but smile as she scooped up the books and scrolls.

"Yes, I do. I believe you will find the Item to be in excellent condition as well." Johanna couldn't keep the glow of pride from her voice as she walked over to the corner of the workshop where said 'Item' sat dormant. It was a massive thing. A suit of metal armour more than 3 metres tall and sported large dents and scorch marks all over it the lustrous banded metal form.

"The Destroyer, as the Asgardians called it, was sent against Thor just a few hours ago." Johanna recounted- vividly recalling the battle that took place, "Odin must have been seriously underestimating his son: It didn't take the God of Thunder more than a few minutes to render this automaton inert. However, I have not made a full in-depth analysis of it."

"I want to be there when you do." Hev casually dismissed her concerns, "Come to the [Grand Manor] with it, Klee should already be there, and I'll follow shortly."

"Very well." Johanna responded before- almost absentmindedly- materialising the Hydra Infinity Gauntlet around her hand. The bulky glove of black metal comfortably encased her slender hand as the stored energies of Space Stone tingled against her bare skin.

Johanna nodded. Her Infinity Gauntlet encased hand clenching for a split second and a black portal rimmed with shimmering blue light enveloped both her and the 3 metre tall armour whole.

Johanna was immediately taken aback as she arrived at the [Grand Manor].

"What is this?" She muttered softly- confused by the unfamiliar sight that lay before her. "These are quite the upgrades…"

Gone was the baroque manor house that Hev had tucked away securely in a separate plane of reality. Gone was the grassy front lawn that was laid out in front of it. Instead, she found herself in the parking lot of a massive bunker- the likes of which she hadn't seen since the second World War.

Massive walls of gleaming reinforced Vibranium formed the indomitable outer shell of the structure as it stood four-five floors up above the ground. From its windows, the barrels of large Tesseract-Energy weapons glowed their familiar blue light as they pointed towards an empty horizon. The front door of dark oak (sized appropriately so that a certain Hevnokren wouldn't have to lean down just to enter) was similarly replaced with a solid metal one as well- Vibranium too.

And promptly, said door swung open- a tiny figure pushing past it.

"Johanna! You're back!" Klee shouted in joy- the little elf child running at her with the biggest, happiest smile just moments before Johanna found her thighs wrapped in a hug.

"Ah, Klee." Johanna smiled down at Klee before picking up the child. "It is good to be back."

"Ehehehe!" Klee giggled in delight as she was lifted up and sitting on Johanna's arms so that they could talk face to face. And once again, Johanna was reminded that Klee was so small that she was more of a five year old than her actual eight.

"Hev said that you were coming, and that you were bringing along something but he didn't tell me that it'll be something like that!" Klee beamed at her before pointing her little gloved hand at the inert Destroyer. "Because that's so cooool~ Even Hev isn't big enough to fit in that! What does it do? Whatsit made out of? Does it have a name? Can I name it?!"

"Settle down, Klee…" Johanna let out a soft laugh at Klee's excitement- ruffling the eight-year-old's hair. Her natural curiosity for all things magical was infectious.

"The Asgardians called it the Destroyer." Johanna nodded with Klee still cradled as she walked Klee to the giant suit of armour. And even sitting down, the automaton was taller than her when she was standing up. "It is an autonomous suit of armour- capable of walking and fighting on its own. It can fire beams of magical fire, and its entire structure is described to be composed entirely of Uru."

A questioning look came to Klee's youthful face.

"Uru? You mean like these super enchanted rings Hev gave us that made it so we don't get tired anymore?" Klee asked- tracing her tiny finger across the equally tiny metal ring that she wore over her gloves.

"No, no." Johanna gently corrected- taking off her glove to show the ring she wore. "Those were the old rings that we now issue to the Sakaarians, ours are made of- "

*Growl*

And just then, Klee's stomach audibly growled.

"Ah, someone is hungry, I hear." Johanna laughed- patting Klee's rumbling tummy through her red coat as she carried the child back into the grand manor. "Let's go cook something to eat."

"Let's cook lots, lots, lots!" Klee giggled along, "I was busy making Hev and his Dragon form super fluffy! We're going to make the Corntracter-"

"Contractor."

"-Contractor explode real good! Like all those Kree cities!" Klee threw her hands in the air to imitate the rising mushroom clouds that her bombs made. Johanna had done her best to help Klee in that regard- improving the Tesseract-Energy infusion process just so Klee's curious black powder explosives would have a considerably increased explosive yield.

Johanna couldn't help but purse her lips.

That Jean woman had been raising Klee wrong- treating Klee as a subordinate under her command and punishing Klee for the virtues that all young children had: creativity, curiosity and intelligence. Children with their simple minds needed to directly observe the bad consequences of their misbehaviours and learn to empathise with the injured party- not locked in solitary confinement to stew with their thoughts. Klee was merely a child with a passion to be nurtured and pointed in a productive direction- and now it was up to her and Hev to do so. After all, when a child is passionate about something they first look to authority figures in their lives for validation, and it wasn't so hard to encourage a child.

Hev had done his part, so it was up to her to do hers.

"Ah, the Fluffy Project. I'm sure no one else could have done it better." Johanna encouraged with a smile as she placed Klee back onto her feet so that she could hang her black leather coat, "Did you have fun spending time with Hev?"

"Mhm!" Klee burbled happily- bouncing on her feet again as they walked to the kitchen. Spacious and furnished with hardwood and all the appliances known to man. It also- through the unknowable magics that Hevnokren wielded- was somehow kept fully stock with most ingredients on earth. Something Klee appreciated too, "And I love spending time with you too, Johanna!"

"That's very sweet of you to say that." She couldn't help but chuckle in return- putting on an white apron and was deciding what to prepare for lunch when she passed by a mirror.

Then a stark feeling of self-awareness washed over her as Johanna saw herself in a mirror. Soft blue eyes peering underneath sunny blonde hair that was done up in a ponytail, graceful feminine features of creamy soft skin tinged a healthy pink. A frilly white apron tied over her black fatigues as she was about to cook her mother's fish schnitzel recipe for a child that she had all but adopted.

Was she not the Red Skull?

She had survived being injected by Erskine's Serum, she had survived her defeat at the hands of Captain America, she had survived holding an Infinity Stone with her bare hands, she had survived being a guide to the Soul Stone for almost 70 years, and just hours ago, she had survived the civil war in Asgard.

So, why was she doing this? Acting the housewife to this man? Playing mother to this elf child?

Then she felt a tug on the corner of her apron.

"Are you okay, Johanna?" Klee asked in her small voice- ruby-red eyes looking up at her with genuine concern.

And just like that, the answer came to her. She had been given everything she could possibly want. Wealth, influence, recognition, eternal youth, great power and even now… a chance at happiness. So, why doubt now? Why throw it all away in a fit of existential panic? Because right here and right now, she was going to hold on tightly to the happiness that she had found.

Gently crouching down to Klee's height, Johanna clutched the child tightly in her arms.

"Ehehe! Hugs!" Klee giggled as she wrapped her small arms as far as she could around Johanna too.

"Klee, promise me something?" Johanna whispered- making certain that the child's ruby-red eyes were looking straight at her. "Promise me that you won't give up on your dreams. Don't let anything stop you. Certainly not other people, or what they say."

Encouragement and Support. That was what Klee needed.

Johanna suspected that when Klee grew older and more aware of what her bombs were doing, she would be told by others to stop, or worse, they would shame her into 'repenting' by being subservient to them. Johanna would rather Klee serve her own desires, her own dreams. Just as she had when everyone told her that Asgard wasn't real, that she should have stopped searching for it and that it wasn't worth killing people for. But with a bit of hope, when those sort of people eventually come for Klee, she will have the strength of will to ignore them (and their pesky military tribunals) and keep following her dream regardless.

"Okie! My dream is to be the best explosives expert in all of … erm… everything!" Klee grinned. "So, I'll do it for you, Johanna!"

"Good, that is all I ask." She softly whispered in return.

*Growl*

Once again, Klee's stomach made its hunger known.

"Of course, do you have anything you would like to eat?" Johanna laughed as she stood up.

"Er… I really liked it when you made fish schnitzels last time. Can you make some more?" Klee pleaded with those big red eyes up at her, and Johanna couldn't help but pat Klee on her head.

"Of course, liebling, of course." she smiled as she began to gather the rest of the ingredients. "Pick out your favourite fish from the freezer, and we'll start."

"Yay! You're the best, Johanna!" Klee cried out in delight as she began rummaging through fish in the pantry freezer.

"With a bit of luck, Hev will arrive in time to join us." Johanna muttered- already prepping the marinade for the fish. And just as she said those words, the thrum of a portal opening resounded just a few metres away from them- the heavy footfalls and the clicking of dragonplate armour clueing Johanna into the new arrival's identity without even seeing him.

"Speak of the devil…" Johanna greeted as she turned around, "Welcome home, Hev."

"... Honey, I'm home!" Hev played along- sounding like he was finding this interaction amusing. And at the sound of his voice, Klee immediately forgot all about the fish that she was supposed to pick out as she burst out into a sprint.

"Hev!" Klee yelled in excitement as she dashed to him- ending in a running glomp.

"Klee! How is my best explosives expert and arms dealer in the entire universe?" Hev responded as he tossed the small girl up in the air before catching her like a father would to his child.

"Ehehehehe! I don't know what an arms dealer is, but I'm excited for schnitzel!" Klee giggled- enjoying the attention, "We're gunna use the fish from the homeworld of those smelly Kree!"

And Hev nodded knowingly.

"Is that so?" Hev mused as his dragonplate helmet turned towards Johanna's direction, "Well, better cook an extra portion, because Ei will be here soon to help with our project as well."

And on cue, the lightning 'deity' walked into view and made herself known.

"Thank you for having me." She gave a bow.

"Ei!" Klee yelled as she glomped the blank-faced electro archon, "I haven't seen you in a looong time!"

"I have always been present here." Ei responded- her slender hand patting Klee's head.

And Hevnokren scoffed at that as if Ei had told a joke.

"For the past few days, she had been hiding in her room eating Doritos, chugging down Mountain Dew and playing the PS1 all day long." Hev reassured her with a roll of his red eyes. And immediately an embarrassed blush came to Ei's cheeks. "I was surprised by how much Doritos and Mountain Dew managed to end up on Sakaar, but Ei here managed to pig through most of what we have."

"That slander is unwarranted!" she objected, "I was not preoccupied by any of those meaningless distractions: I was meditating on the true meaning of Eternity."

A flat look greeted the lightning deity- courtesy of Hev.

"And I was the one who gave you that PS1 and the couple of games in the first place." He casually called her out on her lie, "So, be a good girl and maybe I'll give you that box of PS1 games someone found on Sakaar."

An offended look came to her features- her elegant brows furrowing.

"I am the Electro Archon, a deity of lightning, a bribe will not-" She protested before her mind caught up to what I said and an oddly reverent tone tinged the lightning deity's voice, "Wait...An entire box? Are… are there more discs about the one we know only as Tony Hawk?"

"An entire box." Hev confirmed with a nod- smirking in amusement at how easily she could be bought, "There were about fifty game discs in there. And yes, it does have Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2."

"You have my full cooperation, Hevnokren." Ei immediately swore- her purple eyes still sparkling with wonder just as Hev wrapped an arm around Ei's shoulders and turned to face Johanna.

"Hey Johanna," He prompted, "Can you take a guess as to what we need to make the Destroyer an actually effective combatant?"

Johanna paused to glance out the window and at the Asgardian Destroyer that set inactive on the parking lot.

"A competent magic-based artificial intelligence?" She considered, "That will certainly be of great use. When I witnessed Thor battle the Destroyer, it was slow to react and unable to even formulate even the slightest of battle strategies."

"Bingo! Ei here will be sharing her expertise on artificial intelligence." Hev explained to her, "She was the one who made the Raiden Shogun Intelligence from scratch after all. Though she still isn't the smartest of intelligences."

"Raiden Shogun does not possess the most flexible of intelligences, that is true." Ei expounded, "For she is like a blade- though fast and sharp, she is also rigid and unyielding- and she should be applied as such."

"Limited lateral thinking but with low cunning and fast reaction times." Johanna surmised from Ei's explanation. "If we combine them with our magic-comms, we can work around the limited intelligence to guide them telepathically with our instructions. However, we would need to be on the same planet to operate them like that."

Johanna thought that being on the same planet as Hev's enemies was risky, but they had three Infinity Stones already. So, perhaps, it'll be okay?

"Oh, Oh! I want to drive them too!" Klee excitedly cheered- raising her hand like she was in class and the teacher was searching for volunteers.

"Then it's settled!" Hev declared with a clap of his gauntletted hands, "I'll disenchant the Destroyer after lunch. And once I have all the crafting information I need, we can begin mass-production. I will handle fabrication of the frames. Ei will weave together the intelligences that will operate and move them. Johanna, you're in charge of integrating the magic-comms. And Klee will put the finishing touches. Here's a mock up for you all to appreciate."

And with only the slightest glow of his red eyes- likely from the Reality Stone, a full scale model of their version of the Destroyer materialised into view right before their eyes. And all of them, Hev included, stood in its massive shadow and looked up at it in awe and dread.

"That… is incredibly absurd in appearance." Johanna couldn't help but observe with a blank voice. "We will be matching our enemy's forces with that?"

"It looks perfect! It's like a grown up Dodoco!" Klee disagreed- running up to hug the leg of the mockup Destroyer, "It looks so fluffy!"

"Let Klee have her fun." Hev dismissed Johanna's concerns as he also pulled her into a sideling hug along with Ei, "It will catch them off guard long enough for us to start bombarding them from orbit. Also, it'll be hilarious when they get defeated by these things."

"Looks like we'll be ready for violence." Hev concluded once again groping both hers and Ei's breasts while Klee wasn't looking.

"What are we going to name it?" Klee wondered in anticipation, and from the way that Johanna saw Hev's blood red eyes twinkle in malicious delight meant that he had some equal parts absurd and cruel idea that would be known only to him until he can derive amusement from it.

"If Ei can make them do poses, how about… the 'Jojoco'?" He suggested with ill intent in his mirthful voice.

"I like it!" Klee immediately agreed, and Johanna couldn't help but facepalm. This was a weapon system that was going to sweep aside any resistance they encounter in the universe and they want to name it something as silly sounding as 'Jojoco." But of course, they did.

"Then it's settled!" Hev barked in laughter, "We have 24 hours to make as many Jojocos as we can. I hope that hostile Contractor is feeling overconfident about themselves… because it will be amusing to watch their confident expressions falter as they realise the trap they've fallen into."

[Rudeus' Grand Manor]

"All this waiting just so that we can win in a snap~ Uggh." Mirko groaned her complaint as she hopped lightly on the balls of her feet.

Dressed in her usual hero outfit of a white leotard, she felt like she was in the best shape of her life! Which was good since she was rubbing shoulders with their entire family- almost a hundred strong and likely the most well-trained collection of individuals in all of existence- watched the big digital clock countdown that hung in the air. Usually just one or two of them could handle any threat they encountered. So, having all of them arrayed like this was overkill to the extreme, but damn was it good to have all the family together!

Rudy, her, Ghislaine, Yoruichi, Erza and her mother, Bayonetta and everyone else were all standing in a nicely-spaced grid formation. An army of girls with absolutely shredded physiques- weapons and magic at the ready- the height of what humanity had to offer.

It was a sight that made Mirko's heart swell with pride.

"More villain butt to kick, more crowds of adoring fans, more Mirko merch, more everything!" She grinned as she continued to hype herself up. "Can't wait for this new earth!"

They had warmed up just the hour before and they were all ready to rock! Only a scant three minutes left now before they and the entire [Grand Manor] were transported to this Emsiyu universe. From what Rudeus had told them, Mirko's home universe apparently resembled MCU the most. Heroes and villains with superpowers battling it out in cities all over the world. The force of good pitted against the forces of idiots. Supervillains, robots, aliens, and monsters… it was going to be just like home!

"Stay focused on our strategy, Mirko-chan." Yoruichi scolded with an amused smile.

"Yeah, yeah." Mirko waved off the ninja's concern with an irreverent tone, "Harden my defences up until we can tank hits that would level mountains just in case we're ambushed as we teleport in. After that, Ghislaine and I will ask the locals for any sign of the evil Contractor, and when we do find him- we'll come back to you all so that we can make a battle plan."

And just as Mirko finished enumerating the steps in their battle plan, the timer began beeping the remaining 10 seconds.

"MCU!" Mirko cheered with an eager grin on her face as she crouched down and got ready to sprint, "Here… we… Goooo-"

A flash of light enveloped them all.

[The Reality Stone's Planet in the Triangulum Galaxy]

"-ooo?" Mirko yelped in confusion as slowly stood straight. Because in front of her eyes were not shining cities or green meadows or anything that actually resembles the planet of earth.

No, what greeted them instead was an endless plane of barren brown canyons ravaged by heavy dust storms. Nothing but cracked and parched stony earth for miles and miles around. The only reason why they weren't being buffeted by the dust storms was because they still stood in the boundaries of Rudeus' [Grand Manor], and were protected by its magic. But even at the threshold of the protective magics, they could still see how the sky above shone a sickly red- whatever sunlight choked out by the swirling clouds of brown dirt and sand.

"Is… is this earth?" she muttered in dread. "Has the chaotic evil contractor already destroyed it?"

Rudeus waved his staff across the dusty air- a luminescent swirl of magic flittering from the staff head as he closed his eyes in concentration. Something everyone else who leaned towards magic did.

"This planet's mana really does feel like a different planet." Rudeus reported with a grim look, "But then again, I don't know what earth feels like-"

Rudeus muttered just as his Company Tablet chimed.

"A Company Mission? At this time?" Yoruichi asked with a hint of annoyance as Rudeus fished his tablet out- tapping at the glass screen.

"No… it's the face and name of our target." Rudeus replied, and immediately, everyone close by huddled up behind their favourite shota to look over his shoulder to get a look at the face of their enemy. "His name is-"

"Hevnokren… Yes, that's me."

Through the haze of the raging dust storm, a deep voice booming through the roar of the winds and echoing from all around them. Mirko immediately recognized this as the classic setup for the traditional supervillain monologue. And despite everyone immediately having their weapons and magics at the ready, they knew the violence wasn't about to start just yet, the pre-fight banter was a sacred tradition observed by both heroes and villains after all.

"Show yourself, Hevnokren!" Rudeus demanded- the light of his staff brightening like a star as he willed the dust storm away. But somehow, the dust storm refused to disappear at Rudy's command, and Mirko was quick to realise that it was likely due to Hevnokren's own magics.

A mage-type like Rudy was, huh? That info will definitely come in handy when they start kicking his butt in a few seconds from now.

"Mirko, Yoruichi, Ghislaine, Bisky, Erza, Irene, Bayonetta and so many others… I see you have taken to perfecting the body and the soul. Combined their fighting styles, most likely."

And that overview of their capabilities was a bit too on point for Mirko's liking- all while they knew nothing about his capabilities.

It was only when Hevnokren stepped closer to the threshold of the Grand Manor's borders that they got a good look at the Chaotic Evil Contractor that they were supposed to subdue or outright kill. And all of them, from Mirko to Yoruichi to Ghislaine to Rudeus and to everyone arrayed behind them… they all could not help but drop their jaws in shock and incomprehensible confusion

"I see your face is not so lifeless." Hevnokren's rumbling voice casually commented, "Your nerves not so deadened that you cannot express shock. Tell me, child, is my appearance that frightening? Or is my knowledge of you that is so unnerving?"

"Why…" Mirko's own voice failed her. Never in all her time as a superhero had she encountered such an incredulous sight- and she was the bunny girl hero in the skimpy leotard. "...Why are you in a fluffy rabbit onesie?"

"My goals are beyond your understanding." He solemnly replied- casually straightening his onesie's floppy rabbit ear with a furry pawed hand.

And Mirko was seriously starting to doubt that this was really the bad guy Contractor that they were supposed to beat up. Because although he was much taller and bigger than her, Mirko couldn't feel a shred of threat from him. How could she when he looked like that? His fluffy onesie was the colour of pale sand and covered his entire body including a hood that shrouded his face in shadow. The onesie was even complete with big furry paws for feet.

"He's just a distraction…" Mirko muttered as an aside to Rudy, "I don't think this is even the Hevnokren that we're assigned to hunt."

Mirko's rabbit ears twitched as she focused her mana into them to check if there was anyone outside the boundaries of Rudeus' [Grand Manor]. With her ears supercharged by the energies their combined disciplines conferred, she could hear a fly flapping its wings in a locked room from blocks away. But somehow, the constant dust storm raging outside prevented that.

"Can't hear anything outside either," She whispered to Rudeus, "The dust storm is definitely magical in nature."

Rudeus nodded with a sigh.

"I think so too." he surmised, but didn't lower his guard- his staff pointed at the bunny-suited man and he aimed a glare at him, "I know that this is just an android or a golem, Henvokren. Just come out and fight us, you coward!"

Mirko grinned at that- Rudeus didn't have a bad plan in mind. Taunting opponents was one of her favourite tactics after all. In a straight on fight, it was hard to beat them. Not when they were this many and this powerful. This Hevnokren character was actually doing the smart thing of being cautious of them- which Mirko disliked.

"If I had balls, they'd be bigger than yours, Hevnokoren!" Mirko laughingly jeered at the bunny-suited man. "Stop hiding already!"

"Very well, since you're all conveniently gathered like that, I believe it's time to start this battle." the bunny-suited man gravely declared. Then abruptly, the massive dust storm that once consumed everything vanished as if it was smoke in the wind.

"AWAKEN, MY MASTERS!" The large bunny-suited man announced into the air as he struck a strange pose.

"Aiyayayayeeeeeeeeeeeee~!"

Mirko saw Rudeus freeze stock still as he heard that odd foreign-sounding chant.

Immediately after, a strange dubstep song began playing all around them. The ground shook and from the cracked plains of brown rocks burst out massive masculine shapes. Hundreds of them- all around the Grand Manor! Each of them were at least 3 metres or 10 feet tall. Their gargantuan bodies bulged head-to-toe with steel-hard muscles. And every inch of them was… covered in thin sandy-brown fur. And their heads were covered with what looked to be particularly fluffy stuffed bunny plushies. And strangest of all, each and every single one of them was striking a pose.

"A-are those Pillarmen from Jojo's Bizzare Adventure… in bunny costumes!" Rudeus was the first to exclaim, and everyone .

"Rudy, what's a Pillarman!?" Mirko shouted out, "And why are they posing?!"

Then Mirko's long ears twitched as she heard a sound in the distance that made her worried: It was the sound of deep fiery rumbles of several massive things falling from the sky.

"Rudy, there's things falling from the sky!" She immediately yelled out, and everyone looked up. To see the a fiery rain of several dozen things entering the atmosphere.

"Yes." the man in the bunny outfit nodded sagely, "If you'd turn your attention to the sky, you can see that even our orbital bombardment are cute bunnies."

The shouts of her family members rang out in panic all around her.

"Rudy, we're surrounded what do-" "Rudy, we should knock those out of the sky-!" "Rudeus, what direction should we-!" "Ru-kun! What's our strategy-!"

"EVERYONE SHUT UP!" Ghislaine's furiuous voice bellowed with desperate urgency, "Break through their encirclement! NOW! BEFORE THE ORBITAL BOMBARDMENT HITS US!"

Surrounded and outnumbered by supermob baddies, a strict time limit enforced by a doomsday superweapon, and the main big bad still nowhere to be seen… things were not looking too good already. And yet, Mirko grinned viciously as she adopted her fighting stance- her own rock-hard muscles flexing under tanned brown skin.

Yeah, this is just like home!

And here it was. The split second before the battle started when she felt the most alive. The shiver that Mirko always felt. Tingling across her clenched fists, flexed biceps, over her tits, down each of her abs and to her thick thighs. Her fight-or-flight instincts firing like crazy as she felt how the violence became imminent and dangerously close to starting. And Mirko was prepared for some violence.

And it was her shout that started the fight.

"LET'S GET THIS PARTY STARTED!" Mirko roared with excitement as she charged forward- breaking both the sound barrier and the ground with every step. Fairy Tail's versatile Magics, HunterxHunter's raw Nen & Bleach's spiritual Zankensoki… all of it worked together to supercharge her sexy quirk-enhanced bunny girl physiology to perform on levels that not even All Might could reach.

Mirko grinned with confidence as she dashed forward- the ground underneath her feet cracking from the force of her running and her red eyes locked onto her first target. This was supposed to stop her? This big muscled 'Pillar man in a bunny costume' as Rudeus called it? This 3 metre-tall pile of dumb muscle that was- in her enhanced perceptions- moving like it was in slow motion? They would have been pretty damned fast if she was anyone else.

But she wasn't anyone else.

She was Usagiyama fucking Rumi, and she was one of the top five strongest fighters in Rudeus' family!

And she was going to put this 'Pillar man' down with a single kick to its fluffy face. Mirko had to give it credit though- the Pillar man had fast enough reflexes that it saw her approach- its beady red eyes and fluffy head turning to face her and it's massive basketball-sized fists raising up to throw a punch… all in slow motion of course.

"Too slow, Pillar boy!" She laughed as she twirled in the air- extended her leg into a kick. All that supersonic momentum concentrated with enough power that Mirko liked to think would have shattered All Might's arm if he blocked it. But this Pillar Man wasn't able to block it, and the sole of her foot met its face with all of said destructive power.

Mirko grinned. This fight was going to be eas-

-then everything EXPLODED.
