Fates in the Seas
"Are you sure you're really leaving us? It's not too late to back out." Asked a stern voice from behind, although the figure in the lead of these very, very big army, complete with most of the finest soldiers, paid no attention as she was walking down the road, she heard it before in the fields of Hoshido and in the tournament before, and she didn't change her mind since.
She walked through the cracked concrete roads on the side of the black streets, but wore some boots rather than going barefoot, as she knows people here then to leave trash on the street, and merely avoiding stepping on them, her breathing became more rapid. She-A warrior princess who went to this outrealm and back alone-was nervous, but excited for a long time no less. Her heart was beating with anticaptation as she walked around a corner and saw the destination: The Avengers Mansion.
As the lady shouted commands to the troops from behind to come forward, she rushed tighten her hairpin in her hair, making sure it didn't fall off in front of her, because she didn't want her warrior hair to get messy during her sight on the Avenger's Mansion, home to what the locals called "The Avengers" who included heroes, or champions never seen in her realm, like the man of iron, or the captain with the unbreakable shield, the god of thunder, the assassin of black widows, and the captain of the stars and sun and knew that their rival champions were there, including a caped wonder, a dark knight, a princess of the amazons, and a king of the seas! Among these champions, She, a princess of two kingdoms, will be with either of them, the "Avengers" or the "Justice League." She smiled with excitement, but too bad that the road was crowded by metal boxes, which had no horses, yet they can go by themselves, she only saw them a few times, but knew that they could injure her if she didn't look carefully, these "cars" can crash into each other at times, and their drivers often gave her the middle finger, for some reason, it's a insult on "earth." But She still wanted to cross there, but as she was about to go ahead, a hand touched her shoulder, she shuddered and turn to see who's touching her, it was her brother from Hoshido, a man in a red suit of armor, like a lobster, with spikey brown hair coming down benath his waist. "Kamui, my sister, do you really want to do this?" He said, showing a sign of concern. Kamui turned and gave off a timid smile. "Y-yeah, I really want to do this, Ryoma, nothing more." It hurts for her to say these things, but not as bad at what she said during the Hoshidian plains, which felt like yesterday, this "earth" which is home to unfamiliar machines, lands, and champions of good and evil, is where she wanted to be, in fact, she wanted to be anywhere but than Nohr or Hoshido away from their war, much to her sadness or possible insanity. Ryoma, the samurai in red armor, moved his hand away, and sighed, first she made a mess of the race to honor her, know she's staying in another realm? Ryoma didn't expect for her to be a rebellious princess. "This is utter nonsense!" Yelled Another man, who was wearing ebon armor, and had short blonde hair. "This place is not even your home, and it wasn't a choice by the fates! Please, for once, Come back to Nohr, Kamui, we have to win this war before this Hoshidans kill us all!" He yelled, but Ryoma stared at him and snarled. "Don't listen to that idiot prince, Kamui, he's just playing victim here, we all know Hoshido's your true home and victim here...Xander." He said, and a few snickers occured. "What was that?!" Xander shouted. "KNOCK IT OFF YOU TWO!" Kamui shouted, stopping her big brothers from killing each other. "Big Brother Ryoma, Big Brother Xander, I told you once...these champions don't allow feuds to get in the way of fighting or being heroes, and...I know what happened back home, but I'm sorry, I made my choice to..." She said before walking on the empty street. "Save this World."
Meanwhile...in the Avengers Mansion
"So...what did you think of the new recruits so far, eh, Cap, Batsy, going for the "underrated and unknown" vibe, eh?" Said Iron man, as he takes a sip of some cider, Bruce sat there stoic, thinking about the latest recruits, they looked promising, yes, but some are either from new realms, have different methods in being a hero, or are too young for either the Justice league or Avengers, and Cap takes a look at the files again, while Superman is using his X-ray vision to look at some of the closed files. "Well, Thou must admit it, I do find the Ranger to be a worthy member to the avengers, with an army of orcs, we can use him against A.I.M or HYDRA." Said the God of Thunder, Thor, as he takes a gulp of mead. "But Talion does use lethal tactics like poison or swords, and a accidental kill can mean trouble for him, although, he does claimed to have a elven wraith by his side, either he's crazy or he really means it is up to us." Said Wonder woman, as she was brushing her long black hair. "But the Darkling Prince, Talon, or what his secret keepers called Seifer Tombchewer does show potential to be an Avenger, being a general and master of "Magika" which can be useful with it's explosive attacks." Said Captain America, as he did took a liking to the horned prince, due to him being a funny and well-liked guy, even if his kingdom never went to other realms for YEARS, and they were recovering from a war with the Illumi when the avengers arrived there.
"Then again, there was the skinshifter, Yael, who, despite her grim looks, shows she does care for others and can improvise attacks, despite using guns, something Batman is against." Said Superman as he looked at her file through his X-ray vision. Captain America shuddered, yes, Yael does seem like a good girl, and he can sympathize as he seen the horrors of WWII, and can understand her distrust of Cap, as in her timeline, America stay out of the war, leading Europe to be conquered by the Third Reich, and she was unlucky enough to be caught in brutal experiments, causing her powers, and yet, her boyfriend is the reformed poster boy of them, but he admits he's a good kid. "I did found the son of Frankenstein to be a cool boy of course, too bad he's a controversial one." Captain Marvel said as she combed her long blonde hair, and Wonder woman nodded, as both girls seen the rise of monsters from myths and legends rising up, with Boy leading the charge for monster rights, which lead to attacks on werewolves, vampires and other creatures from paranoid humans, which could sent the world into a mad frenzy if they put him in the avengers, as he did hold a fondness for Tony stark himself, based on his new designs during his battle with Dr. Moreau. "Boy Frankenstein could make use of it as a Titan or young avenger if too much threats are given." Batman suggested, and few nodded. "Yeah, there's been a rise on heroes for being from other universes or worlds we never heard of, and people are crying out for them, despite being underrated." Diana said. Iron man got up from his seat and leaned against the windows of the mansion. "So...Supes, who's the last recruit on our list?" Said Iron man, as he takes a sip of Club Soda. Superman looked at one more file. "Ah...it seems this person will be of a sword fighter of fantasy origins." He said, "However, unlike Seifer, she is royalty of not one, but two kingdoms." Most of the heroes were shocked by what Supes said. "Yeah, like what do you mean?" Said Wonder woman. "According to the reports and witnesses, it says that she was taken away from her birth family and raised in another, however, during a mission gone wrong, she meet her birth family, who she took a liking too, but when it came time to choose which family to go with, she snapped and ran off, stumbling upon a portal to earth itself." Said Superman, and Thor decides to question it. "So, what thou powers does this princess has?" He said. "Well, Thor, it says she has a primal but mythical power inside of her, which manifested after she was fighting against First Strike." He said. Iron man was still looking out the window but nodded. "Yikes, wonder how First strike got all those scars, cuts and ripped off faces from, now I know it's from a princess who had too much to wo-" Then Iron man stopped talking, dropping his glass of club soda. "Tony, what's wrong?" Captain Marvel said as he walked towards Iron man and he could see why...because outside the mansion, there was an army, of 40, marching towards the mansion. "Uhhhh…maybe I been drinking too much soda, haven't I?" Said Tony, Cap shrugged. "Don't worry about that yet, but try to make a fool of yourself later, this army could mean business."
The avengers mansion was a sight to behold, as while it as red and bright as the skies in the afternoon, and it held a statue of the first team of avengers, including the man of iron, a raging giant, the thunder god, and the giant insect man and small insect woman, even if it wasn't as grand as Hoshido or Nohr, it was inside that counts. Kamui retraced how it was going to be in her entrance, from the doors to how she acted, it's too bad the metal contraptions made it impossible To focus. "HEY! WATCH IT A**HOLE!" and "F--- OFF!" were the norm of insults from these drivers as she covered her ears, and the horses were startled by the sounds, even the troops were shaking, fearing a attack will followed, with Xander and Ryoma were covering their ears as well as their siblings, the only one who didn't care was Azura, her friend, who slowly hummed throughout the street, Kamui was glad Azura wasn't going to draw swords to stab the drivers, she didn't want to make a scene as she crossed the street, then she made it and ran up to the door, but Ryoma held his hand to stop her from going yet. "H-Huff--ouch, my damn ears...Still, Kamui, are you really ready to join them?" He said, Kamui turned, and her heart beated with anticapation, yet she felt a tad nervous but she nodded. "Yeah, and thanks for not drawing your sword at those drivers." She said, and Ryoma nodded. "Yeah, while I'm not sure what these heroes are like, I'm sure you can save others." But then Xander interrupted. "Of course, you will, Kamui, I know even at bad times, you held up your sword against me, you still have to know who you're enemies are in this realm, especially more so than the Hoshidian Trash." Xander interrupted, and Ryoma growled in response. "Silence, Nohrian scum, don't believe I will sl-" Ryoma was then interrupted by another voice. "Stop." Came another voice, this time from a teen boy, with blonde hair and a small black headband and a large collar. "While I must admit to knowing thy enemies, I do believe we are in a neutral ground, and fighting each other could mean unnessary harm to her reputation and the people around here, even when those metal boxes scared me." He said, then another boy, one with a long ponytail trailing to his waist chuckled. "Ohhh...little Leo is scared." Kamui chuckled and then said a quiet thanks to Leo, despite his stern face, he did held a heart of gold, as well as Takumi, despite his lack of trust to her at times. She then walked towards the door, she gulped, this is it, this was her moment to shine, to rise out of the world and pervent others in fighting other wars, anything to show that she never much a blood knight, but a noble warrior.
With a mighty push, thanks to some of her troops' help, she slammed the doors back, sending a huge gust of wind toward the heroes, who were all in their seats, stunned by the wind and the new recruit. She then retraced her steps of nobility she learned from both brothers.
"Also keep your back straight." Xander once said. "Don't shout and keep eye contact."
"Don't run, walk gracefully." Ryoma once said. "Always stat your name with honor."
"Hello!" Kamui said as she walked towards the judges. "I am Kamui! Princess of Nohr AND Hoshido, I have come to this realm and back, and then back to be among those who fight for justice, liberty, and freedom with earth's mightiest heroes, no matter where they came from, in the Kingdom of New York!" She said with pride, giving off a good smile as she walked towards them, then kneeled in front of her. "Please let me fight by your champions." She said. Normally the judges would be impressed, however, no sound came from the avengers or justice league, who were flabbergasted by what the recruit did. "What. Just. Happened?" Said Iron man, "Did she really had to do that stunt?" He said, Carol and Diana and Thor shrugged. "Well, Thou does act like a lady." Thor said, as even when he's seen it all, from bat-winged princes, to faes, to god butchers...he did seem unsure with this act from the latest newcomer, with her royal etiqutte and epic entrance, and two of the men behind her, and Wonder woman couldn't help but feel a sense of drama by the looks of their armor, which were vastly different, but showed that they were royalty from another realm, even though he thought there were nine of them.
Nice to meet you, Kamui." Said Captain America, "But you didn't have to be a very royal type of person when you entered this mansion, because here in the avengers, we're all equal, no matter if you're a god, a king, or just a regular joe." He said, flashing a smile, both the men behind were puzzled. "Who is this Joe?" The man in the red armor asked. The man in the ebon armor nodded. Kamui blushed with embrassment. "I mean-I thought you people would appreciate if I shown good manners, it's always the case back in Hoshido or Nohr, and that...well...I haven't got a good reputation on my first few days on Earth." She said, her red eyes looked down to her feet, then her sword, which she stabbed to the ground. "Well...good manners is one thing that makes a hero, yes, but hey, some of us are pretty casual around here because hey, it's America, am I right people? Freedom of speech and choice" Iron man said, as he pointed fingers at her brothers, Xander was puzzled and folded his arms, Ryoma sighed. "Like, seriously people, nice choice of cosplay there, going for the East meets West thing eh?" He said, and then Xander and Ryoma was a bit annoyed as they looked at their armor. "C-Cosplay? Sir, are you making fun of my armor?" Said Xander, as he took a step, almost raising his sword, but Kamui stopped by one look. "No, what Tony Stark just likes your choice of armor, I admit it, it looks a bit...clunky, but it still looks neat." Captain America said, as he stood up. "I see, thanks." Said Ryoma, but Xander took a step back and scoff. "Ignore the man of Iron, brother." Said a feminine voice beside him, a tall woman, covered in black armor, and had long lavender hair covering one eye. "It's our first time here, and we shouldn't start a fight." She said as she put one hand on Xander's shoulder. "Yes, Camilla, but I feel so...out of place here." Xander said.
"Then again, what are you names, sirs?" Superman said to both Xander and Ryoma. "I am Ryouma." Said the Red-claded samurai. "First Prince of Hoshido and Kamui's REAL brother." He said with pride. Xander takes this as a challenge. "And I'm Xander." Said the ebon-claded knight. "First prince of Nohr and Kamui's brother, who she sees as her second dad." Iron man and Cap and Supes were stunned. Kamui cringed at the line, and Camilla and Leo just stood there, dumbfounded. "Uh-Oh, sorry, I-uh- came out wrong." He said, Takumi and a girl with white armor and short red hair chuckled at the line. "Hinoka, Takumi, don't laugh now." Said Ryoma, knowing that this was just damn sweet. "So...both are brothers, yet they don't look anything like her or each other...must be these are two royal families." Batman thought, as he observed from the farthest seat, in fact, he could see that in fact, not only the siblings, which consist of four on the left, and four on the right, with probably the youngest, a girl with a skirt looking more battle-ready and two big pigtails, who was busy looking around the mansion, and the another, another short red haired girl, who fiddled with a small staff and was looking down on the ground, and a contrast behind the two groups of siblings was a girl of Kamui's age, one who had long unkept blue hair trailing to her ankles, as she was barefoot, and wore a white clothing with black outlines, and behind her veil, she gave of a humble yet stern face, and as he took a good look outside that day, he noticed that even the army was vastly divided, with one side, had more european designs ,Germanic or English, with more armor-claded foot soldiers and armored horses, and the other had more asian designs, mostly Japenese, with foot soldiers having lack of armor and horses, even their special mounts were different, with half using wyverns and the other pegasus, which were snarling and neighing at each other from the outside.
Kamui seemed to read his covered face, even though he put his hands in front of his mouth, and she got up. "Yeah, both are my families, it's a long origin story, but you know what is it, right, Knight of bats?" She said to Batman, and he nodded. "Yeah, Ms. Kamui, but you wouldn't want your past to cloud your performance today." He said, and Kamui nodded, as she planned to show her powers in her best mindset, but before she could ditched the boots and the hairpin, Kamui remebered another lesson from Hinoka and Camilla. "Oh, right, sorry, before I talked about myself and my powers...um...what are your actual names again?" She said.
"Well, nice to know that you still want to know our names, well, I'm Captain America, but I'm usually called Steve Rogers." The captain said as he walked over to Kamui to shake her hand, she did shake back as a sign of respect. "And I'm Superman." The man of steel said as he floated, which scared Xander and Ryoma to see a man flying, but he got down to shake her hand as well. "I'm Tony stark, but I'm mostly known as Iron man." Said Tony. "Batman." "I'm Captain Marvel." "Greetings, I am Wonder woman, and it must been a honor for you to be here." "And thou am Thor, god of Thunder, and rightful wielder of the worthy mijnior." Thor said, as he raised his small hammer, and Kamui felt it was a mileenia when she saw Thor striking his battle pose, and Wonder woman holding her hand tightly. Even when she knows her powers, she often kept the secret that as a dragon, or half-manakete, she can somehow sensed mythical or strange energy auras from other people, and in her crimson red eyes, she could see a electrifying aura around Thor, and a blue aura around Wonder woman, and for the Captain Marvel, she could see a bright yellow aura not like anything back home or on earth, which some say it's "cosmic" by the locals, although some said it with spite, their choice of armor, their strange auras, and their bodies and hair, it made Kamui feel she could be mostly with them, so she ran to gave Thor a big hug. Thor was admittly confused as he glanced at the smaller princess, and Carol and Diana can't help but smiled, to see Kamui being in awed by people she never seen before and yet amazed by their powers and heroic acts, but Thor gave in to the hug, but the touch of Kamui send a chill down his spine, as he could feel a hidden power in Kamui, due to both being fantasy-typed heroes, whatever Kamui can do, he hopes she can do it well, in case he has to go back to Asgard for family troubles, and Diana hope sure Kamui will not waste this moment on earth, and be a good hero, like herself and her girlfriend Carol. "All right!" Kamui said as she rushed back to the doors to pull her friend Azura and her two servants, a maid with pink hair tied into a high ponytail, who was carrying a bunch of suitcases, much to Cap's suprise, and a taller butler, who was carrying a tray with a teaset and a smaller suitcase of sorts, he had silver hair tied into a low ponytail and yet both were no different, with the butler walking in with class, the maid accidently tripped on the rug and fell on her face, dropping some of the suitcases to the floor, the two captains rushed in to help out, much to the Butler's dismay as he saw the mess. "Oh! I'm so sorry Lady Kamui! I didn't mean to t--trip that w-way!" She stuttered as she got up, but Azura comforted her. "It's okay Felicia, as Kamui may want to show her best, but as long we cheer her up, we can all be fine." Felicia blushed. "U--Uh, Yes, Azura, I mean, Lady Azura, I'll try!" She said, and the butler rolled his eyes. "Jakob, come over here." Said Kamui, and the butler soon followed. "Yes, M'lady?" He said. "So, want some tea before you start talking about yourself?" He said, after pouring some tea in, but it seem "yes" as Kamui gulped up the tea, making sure her voice didn't crack later on, and Jakob smiled, all these years and despite her cracks in insanity, Kamui still holds a eye for a new life on Earth, even what she saw back in the hospital. So Kamui then got to taking off some of her least liked accessories, as even though as a princess, you weren't supposed to be dirty, she pulled out her Nohr-based noble boots, as she felt she could perform better with bare feet based on agility, and she pulled out her Hoshido-based hairpin, then let her long hair fall down, and Azura can't help but smile, even if Kamui didn't look like her siblings, her hair, despite being mostly white-blondish, her strangest features were that she had a large strak of Red and Purple hair trailing along her tresses, which fall past her shoulders and almost to her waist, and she flipped it to make sure her vision was clear. "So...you guys know the plan?" She said to her friends, "That first I introduced my powers, then Azura will sing our soundtrack themes, and I will show my sword skills in a display, got it?" She said, and Felicia, Jakob and Azura nodded, and Azura asked a question, "So...Kamui, will you think I can sing most of these songs, I admit I enjoyed them, but you think alone I can catch up?" She asked, and Kamui smiled and gave her a big hug. "Azura, your voice is always incredible, and some songs are your type of cover or album." She said, and Azura smiled, seeing her friend happy was a break from the last few days of drama and running into trouble, but she couldn't help that there's bound to be...interruptions, even if Kamui was an idealist at best, and that her big brothers reluctantly commanded a group of 4 soldiers to come in, each with their exclusive weapon to mock fight against Kamui, she can't help but feel this was going to get even more crazier.
"So" Said Iron man, "What are your powers, a single fancy sword isn't going to fare well against robots and giant monsters, so...what's your game?" He asked, and Kamui took this to full attention. "Lord Iron man, This here is no ordinary sword, here is the legendary sword of Yato, and it's not for show, for it has been given power by the Rainbow Sage, It's a weapon only held by those who wish to....end..." Kamui winced about her glowing sword, remember some bad...events, but she kept going, "but I didn't came here with only a sword, in attention to learning from both kingdoms, I, Kamui, have the ability to harness the powers of the first dragons!" She said with pride, banging her chest, and Captain America did chuckled, she did seem eager to join, reminds him of his early days, but then again, "A dragon? Show us this form of yours, Lady Kamui." Thor said, and Kamui stepped back, as well as her siblings and friends, and she turned to Azura, who nodded, in case if things were to go south, Azura will be there to turn her back in case feral nature had taken over. Kamui got her hands crossed and bring them down, this was the moment, this time, instead of enemies surrounding her or the armies, she was going to show the beauty of her dragon side, which after a weeks in the woods, maintaining that power to not lose her mind when becoming a dragon, just like the last two times she did it, one in Hoshido, the other...on earth, where she had the worst of days.
But Suddenly...
BOOM!!!!
The Mansion was shaking, and all the heroes and siblings were trying to maintain balance as the ground shook, Kamui was stunned. "What the--" She said before another shockwave occurred, and some of the troops outside were aiming their weapons at each other. "What is this Ryoma, a dirty move you planned from afar?" Said Xander, as he tried to get up to tackle his counterpart. "No! There was no mage who could done that, perhaps it was one of Leo's mages!" Ryoma said back, as he also tried to get up. "Ohhh, says the man who looks like a lobster? That's cute." Said Camilla, cooing at Ryoma's anger, and Hinoka snarled. "What? You s---! How dare you!" Said Hinoka, and Kamui turned. "Oh crap." She thought, one drop of blood means it could mean war right now, but she didn't think it was from either family, so she tried to stop, and Azura intervened as well. "Guys! No! It isn't any of your faults, it has to be something else!" She explained, but it seems Xander and Ryoma got each other's necks and tried to choke each other, and Hinoka and Camilla were trying to fight each other, only to be backed out by their little sisters, Sakura and Elise. But then, help came when Iron man got a call from inside his armor. "Jarvis? Where's that source coming from...The sea, you mean...but....oh jeez, guess Spock ears didn't like the deal after his cousin ditched him for his rival's wife." Iron man said, and Xander and Ryoma stood there, confused by who Iron man was talking to, or any of those references, "Jar-vis?" Both said, then they eyed each other as they realized their chokeholds. "Yeah, my butler, as well as my assistant in this suit, turns out it's not one of your squad, turns out, it belongs to a sea-faring champion....you know that it isn't always either of you guys, right?" Said Iron man, and Kamui chuckled. "Anyway, look, why don't we do this eh, how about instead of showing your powers in cool sets...maybe we can get to the source of these quakes and show them off there, okay, dragonstrike?" He said, as he patted Kamui's head and most of the heroes ran to a nearby door, but before Cap stopped and turned. "So...any of you people been on something called...the quinjet?"
The royal siblings stood there, puzzled by the question, and Azura spoke. "The quinjet?"
