[In the Zero Dimension]
“Sir! Reporting! The assassin we sent after Elizabeth and the boy has been killed but we managed to recover the last few seconds of the fight, do you want to view it sir?” Tetsu nodded his head with a smirk on his face. The video started playing…
“Oh, my dear Elizabeth, as pretty as ever… No way! The boy, that’s him?” Tetsu gets off his throne with a face of disbelief and confusion. “That weapon in his hands… Could that really be the legendary weapon, Excalibur?” Returning to his seat, Tetsu wrapped his fingers around his face and his evil smirk reappears over his face. “Call Tsukuyomi for me, now!” Tetsu commands, slamming down hard on the armrest of his throne.
“Tetsu? I thought I told you my mission with you has been terminated.” Tsukuyomi answers Tetsu’s video transmission in disgust. “You use that attitude to reply the ruler of Red Crimson? Have you forgotten your place?” Tsukuyomi pauses and looks downwards and replies, “Sorry sir, please forgive me for being rude.”
“You know where the boy lives don’t you? Kill those living with him! That is an order!” Tsukuyomi stays silent with anger and pain written over her face. “If you don’t, I will personally go down there myself!” Tsukuyomi clenched her fist tightly and nodded, “Understood sir, mission, assassination of targets Yukina Kentaro and Miyamoto Misashi.”
[Transmission ends…]
Tetsu gets off his throne and reaches out for his weapon, an axe of fire formed in his hand as he orders, “Prepare for teleportation, I shall personally see to this mission myself!”
[Back in Souta’s house]
“Oh, Kyo-chan you’re back, who called you?” Yukina smiles as she held onto the laundry and walks out towards the balcony. Misashi sat silently on the couch with her legs crossed, “Curse that Van Astrea, taking my Souta from me…”
“Tsukino-ha!” Tsukuyomi summons her moon blade and looks up at Yukina and Misashi. “Please escape while you can, Tetsu will be here any moment now, I will hold him back for as long as…” Before she could finish her sentence, Tsukuyomi was sent flying across the living room, breaking through the wall ending up on the road outside the house. Misashi responded by unsheathing her blade and readies herself for the enemy, Yukina rushed towards Tsukuyomi in horror, before the three of them stood a man with crimson red armor and helmet. He was donned with a cloak that was laced with gold and on his back, was the fire axe he had summoned out earlier.

“What a nice, comfortable place to live in humans, mind if I crash this place, literally?” Tetsu leaps onto Misashi and with a quick swipe of his hand, he easily caught Misashi off guard and grabbed her by the wrist before sending her flying to the balcony. Immediately, he lunges onto Misashi’s body, stomping hard on her chest, Misashi spat out a huge load of blood from her mouth as her eyesight began to fade. Tetsu pulls her up by the hair and shakes his head in disappointment, “This is a guardian of the Human Realm? What a fucking joke, you’re better off being a prostitute or my servant, useless swordsman.” Grabbing Misashi’s head in his hand, he smashes her face first into the balcony causing a huge dent to form on the floor, Misashi was knocked out, completely unconscious.
Yukina instantly rushes over with her blade in her hands, slashing out furiously at Tetsu. “You fucking monster! I will kill you before my brother even gets a chance to touch you!” An armor of gold formed onto Yukina’s clothes as her eyes lit up sky blue, “Seiryu, be one with me!” The blade in Yukina’s hands started glowing blue as the whole sword transformed into a beautiful saber decorated with seven blue crystals.
“Impressive, never knew a girl your age could have powers equal to that of an archangel. So what’s your name, angel?” Yukina ignores him and lashes out in fury at Tetsu. Her speed was so fast and the precision of each slash was spot on causing Tetsu to temporarily be on the defense. “I could use someone of your caliber in my army. If you surrender now, I won’t kill you and I will spare your brother.” Yukina completely ignores him and lets out a loud shriek of pain as Tetsu grabs her by the wrist, the force of his grip was so strong, it caused Yukina to drop her weapon on the floor. Upon dropping the weapon, Yukina reverted into her clothes and her powers immensely reduces.

“Let go of me!” Yukina screams as she punches Tetsu’s arm repeatedly. Tetsu lets out a laugh as he tightens the grip on Yukina’s wrist. “This weapon of yours, I’ll be taking it.” Yukina looks towards her weapon and yells, “Seiryu release! Be free out of the weapon, escape!” Suddenly, the sword broke into two as a blue spirit shoots out from within, “Miss, I must protect you!” The spirit creates a blue barrier around him and Yukina which sends Tetsu flying backwards. “Lady, I can’t hold on much longer, you leave, I will gladly die for you!”
“Seiryu, this is my last order for you, escape and take cares of my brother, please… In the end, I was too weak, I don’t deserve one of the great Dragon Kings as my ally. Seiryu please, I’m counting on you, avenge me.” Yukina lets out a smile and her tears started flowing down her eyes. “Lady, if that is your wish, you might not be the most powerful master I ever had, but you sure are the most compassionate and loving person I ever met. I shall carry out your final order for eternity and protect your brother Souta Kentaro, kid, it was an enjoyable ride with you, I hope I can meet you someday in your next life.” With that Seiryu disappears into the sky outside and the barrier also vanishes.
A sharp pain could be felt from Yukina’s right arm; however, she smiles and laughs at Tetsu. “No matter what you do to me, my brother will defeat you, he will end you…monster…” Tetsu became furious as he pins Yukina down and completely rips off her right arm with all his strength. Still, Yukina endures the pain with a smile on her face. “Is all you can do?” Tetsu started pounding his fist onto Yukina’s face and body, causing all her internal organs to rupture. At this point, the pain was so immense, Yukina couldn’t feel anything anymore and in the end, Tetsu raises his axe and swings it down, decapitating her legs off her body.
“Humans…what fools…” Tetsu gets back up on his feet and turns around. With her last dying breath, Yukina closes her eyes and smiles yet again, “Father, I have failed, please look after brother…” With Tsukuyomi’s unconscious body in his arms, Tetsu raised his axe into the air and a portal soon formed before him. Footsteps echoed from afar as Tetsu makes his escape through the portal. It was at this moment, Souta and Hanabi enters the house only to see the corpse of Yukina lying before them, motionless…
[Somewhere in another dimension]
“Yukina…my daughter…Reinhardt go to the human dimension…do whatever you must, end Tetsugaya of the Red Crimson’s life.” A man shrouded in light raises his arms. A knight with ravishing green eyes and crimson red hair appears in front of him on one knee, “Yes my lord, I, Reinhardt Van Astrea, shall descend upon the human dimension.” With that, he disappears and the man sat back onto his throne in silence…
“So, this is the human dimension, Reinhardt, you aren’t here on a vacation, you have a mission to complete. Ok! First things first! Young master, here I come!”

Shift (Ben 10+DCU Fanfiction)
Omnitrix+ DCU, what's not to like? The main character will not be Ben Tennyson, rather someone from our world who gains the Omnitrix Hello! This fanfiction Shift is what I wanted to do for an homage to what I thought were underrated pieces of media, Ben 10 and some DCU characters. However, I would be remiss if I didn’t add context to two of the major works that inspired Shift, Dial, and A Practical Guide to Evil. Dial is another ben 10 fanfiction, however that story takes place in the MCU, and with an adult that is already a grown-up at the beginning of the story. Dial, by my own accounts, is more superficially Like shift, even though the Omnitrix is a central device in both. My protagonist starts out around 18 years old, so is less serious and can build relationships with some of the junior justice league members, and then later on in the story meet the Justice League officially. The tone will be more light-hearted at the beginning of the story as teenagers are known to use sarcasm and jokes at each other’s expense. Furthermore, in Dial, the protagonist has a well-developed knowledge of the MCU which he uses to have knowledge on events and characters, that the character in Shift will not have. While the MC will have some knowledge of people's abilities, lesser-known characters and people's real identities will be not included as much, but the MC of Shift will have some knowledge. APGTE's influence is deeper than Dials'. The epigraphs at the beginning of every chapter are an example of that, a place for light-hearted jokes and worldbuilding that's not pure exposition, but I also want to incorporate narrative stories to Shift (heroes win more than lose, providence, etc) on a lighthearted scale. While the heroes of Shift will have to work to win against villains, the MC of Shift will be allowed limited precognition, through narratives tropes and archetypes as a trade-off of less knowledge of the DCU. For example, a villain a hero faces might monologue, but the MC will not instinctively know how to counter every villain they encounter. I also wanted to bring in more realism than usual superhero stories, ie: the MC cannot just walk and have a meeting with Batman or Superman, he would have to “work his way up” in terms of credibility and whatnot. The Aliens that show up in Shift I tried to make different than the ones in Dial, just to share the love for lesser-known characters. And to make it fairer for the villains of the DCU, the main character will not wantonly use if gain at all an Alien X or a ben 10 form of Kryptonians, just so the characters have to work a little bit for victory. I urge anyone reading to consider checking out both APGTE and Dial as they are both amazing works, and I hope you enjoy them. The beginning of how the MC enters the DCU will not be as important as him actually existing in that universe, so that is why a ton of time is not spent on that part of the story. Chapters will be around 2.5 thousand words and come out around every weekday.
