Hello everyone, with the permission of Karel_Stein_Adler I am editing her/his story to make it flow better (i.e. fixing up the mistakes, I'm effectively the beta). I will try to stay as close to the original story as I possibly can. I'm sorry I haven't gotten around to this sooner because of Real World Problem (yes it needs capitals). I needed a break from editing one of my own stories.

This shouldn't take more than a week or two depending on how much time I have on my hands and how long the chapters are. I hope you enjoy this story. This isn't my story, I'm merely edited it, so it has less mistakes as is easier to read.

After Nick hugged Diana, Adalind, Monroe, Rosalee, Hank, Wu, Renard, Trubel and Eve he tried to explain how happy he was they were still alive which didn't make much sense to anyone but Diana. Nick looked relieved when he come through and found them alive, and more than a little haunted by something. Monroe stared at Nick more than a little worried about his friend.

"Tell them what happened," Diana ordered glaring at the Grimm who was sitting on the couch next to Monroe and across from Hank and Renard. It had been around two hours since Nick and Eve had come back from the other world, the haunted look still hadn't left his eyes and likely wouldn't for quite a while, he kept looking at them like he expected them to disappear, it was painful and more than a little confusing.

"Tell us what?" Sean asked more than a little unsure as Monroe got up from the couch to pick up the staff that had appeared out of nowhere, even stranger was the fact Adalind was no longer wearing the ring Bonaparte had given her, Diana wasn't scared, and Nick no longer had the stick, which in itself was strange as he had been carrying with him everywhere as of recently, he hadn't been able to explain why.

"The stick was a part of the staff which belonged to something…well more like someone named Zerstorer Shrugged," Nick answered staring at the wooden staff had dropped onto the bench, he was staring at Nick with a horrified look on his face though they didn't understand why. Monroe could clearly see or sense something they couldn't as he had known Nick the longest.

"Zerstorer the Destroyer," Monroe stated flatly, staring at Nick more than a little disturbed at the haunted look in Nick's eyes, in the nearly six years he had known Nick he had never seen him look quite that haunted, when he had first met Nick he hadn't exactly been innocent as he was a homicide Detective, but he hadn't been burdened by the weight of being a Grimm and knowing there were creatures out there after his head.

He had looked so relieved to see them alive making Monroe wonder what had happened when they were in the other world, Eve didn't seem to know why Nick was acting the way he was. Trubel had thought Nick was in danger but he wasn't but by the look on Nick's face he had been in danger. Monroe couldn't help but wonder what kind of danger Nick had been in to bring Trubel back to Portland as she had seemed more than a little relieved to see Nick was safe.

"In every sense of the word. I'm not sure how it's possible but I come through this mirror about two days ago with Eve, Zerstorer come through another elsewhere, killed several people as he made his way to the station where he killed everyone leaving me alive because I had the stick," Nick replied staring at something they couldn't see. It was more than a little spooky.

"Is that why you acted so strange when you come through the portal?" Wu asked staring at Nick with a sceptical look on his face. He wasn't the only who had thought Nick's behaviour was strange, he had looked unspeakably relieved when he had them alive. He had known Nick since he was a Rookie working in the Special Victims Unit, he had change a great deal since then, the only thing that hadn't changed was the way he delt with criminals. That hadn't changed much after he had become a Grimm.

"We tried to make the Force Du Sung: The Strength of one's blood. It needs the blood of a Grimm, a Hexenbiest and a Wesen. All participants must be willing and have a close blood tie, whether them being related or have saved the other life in some form," Nick commented not at all surprised to Adalind, Renard, Monroe and Rosalee staring at him in shock, they clearly knew something of the potion he was talking about.

"Did we? I suppose something that that could be possible, given how…unique our group is. I never thought something like that could actually work as there hasn't been a Grimm since the original seven who would willingly cooperate with any Wesen let alone give their blood to that sort of potion. Who helped you?" Adalind asked staring at Nick in wonder, he really one of a kind.

In a lot of ways.

"You and Monroe helped. Eve was…unable to as when she back through the portal she was no longer a Hexenbiest, Zerstorer had killed her at the Spice Shop before we could complete the potion," Nick answered flatly, Monroe wrapped and arm around the Grimm's shoulder when he heard his voice catch a little and his scent changed to one of fear anger and something spicy, rick and dark like chocolate and that horrid preground coffee he preferred, Monroe knew the Grimm hadn't calmed down yet.

And likely wouldn't for a while.

"Did it work?" Rosalee asked more than a little curious, from the look on Nick's face it had worked but not in the way he had expected nor wanted, a strange bitter and tangy scent filled the air making it hard for Renard, Monroe, Adalind, Diana and Rosalee to breath as they felt a strange sense of longing and sadness, they knew it wasn't their own, it didn't take a genius to figure out it was coming from Nick.

"It burnt his skin like acid but had no lasting effect after he had healed himself. He killed you the rest of you here. Hank and Wu were killed at the station. He brought Trubel back," Nick answered quickly and simply wanting to get this finished as quickly as possible as he carefully picked up the staff. They didn't need to know how he knew that information.

"Trubel had been killed, Zerstorer and brought her back and would bring everyone else back if Nick gave him the stick as he couldn't just take it. Nick almost excepted but-" Diana cut herself off when she saw the look she was getting from Nick and couldn't help but gulp, suddenly getting the feeling she should have kept her mouth shut and not said anything, Nick had never given her that look before.

"Diana, they don't need to know," Nick snapped more than a little annoyed and angry, Diana shrank into her seat when Nick's eyes turned black, she could suddenly see who she really was, she was nothing more than a spoiled princess with far too much power who was used to getting exactly what she wanted, she looked at Rosalee guiltily when she remembered destroying those jars.

They had always treated her with the sort of caution you would a nearly boiling pot of candy or a bomb. They had been very tolerant even though some of the things she did or said freaked them our or made them mad, she had worried Nick a great deal with her demand for Adalind to come to her, pulling Nick away from his son and creating more than a little tension between her father and Nick.

"My mother and Aunt returned and helped me and Trubel fight Zerstorer. Trubel is my third cousin on my mother's side," Nick explained before Diana could say anymore, not taking his eyes off said girl who was staring at her lap, Trubel stared at Nick in shock when the Grim turned to look at her, there was something different about him, it had put Diana in her place.

"How is that possible?" Renard asked more then a little curious, he had never heard of something like that happening before, the look in Nick's eyes worried him a great deal, he was clearly more effected by their deaths then he was letting on. Nick gave him a blank, vacant stare which in itself was more than a little concerning. It shouldn't have been possible though then again anything was possible at this point.

"I have no idea though I suspect we were taken to a mirror universe, Zerstorer's universe being in the middle, in that universe you are dead. I was holing the staff when after I taken the ring Bonaparte gave Adalind, a portal opened, and I was pulled back here…" Nick trailed off when his fingers brushed against the staff. He felt the need to go back to the cottage in the woods for some unknown reason.

He patted his pockets, wondering if he put the ring in his pocket or if he dropped it. He hissed when his fingers wrapped around a red-hot metal band, he pulled it out of his pocket and saw it was a simple gold circle. He had no idea how he had gotten in his pocket as he didn't remember putting it there. Diana jerked and stared at him with an slightly alarmed look on his face when she saw the ring.

"Bonaparte must have gotten both of the rings from the other universe. That's Daddy's ring Ms Rachel gave him. I can feel strange magic coming off it," Diana informed Nick timidly who just nodded an slipped the ring back into his pocket wondering how it had gotten in his pocket, he could remember Renard ever wearing a ring. Nick jerked when the ring got incredibly hot before it melted and disappeared.

"We need to go to the Cabin, the one the Postmen kept the little girl, where you gave the key back to me," Nick explained, answering Renard's unasked question, he could tell his Captain wanted to ask but couldn't find the right words. Renard nod, he remembered that case and that Cabin. When they arrived at the Cabin after a ten-minute drive, the group climbed out and were surprised when they saw three cars already there.

Adalind stared at them in muted shock and morbid fascination when she saw her own corpse lying in the mud, there was no way this could be possible but then again, she had learnt anything was possible at this point. Adalind, Monroe, Rosalee, Renard, Eve, Wu, Hank, Trubel and Diana watched in muted shock as a ghostly version of Nick and who they assumed was Zerstorer fight after the Ghost Nick's argument with Trubel with about what he was going to do.

Zerstorer didn't stand a change against four Grimm's even if two of them were dead. Renard was shocked too see Marie Kessler and Kelly Burkhardt Ghost Nick merged with their Nick, Kelly Sr and Marie turned to them. Monroe, Rosalee, Adalind, Diana, Renard and Trubel stepped behind Nick unsure of what the two Grimm's would do and how much they knew of what had been going on.

"In my time it was customary for the man to marry the women before she gave birth to his child, but then again you have always been unconventional," Kelly Sr. stated as she turned to look at Monroe and Rosalee, she had always known her son was different even when he was younger. Many of his friends and later girlfriends were Wesen, not that he knew that at the time.

"Your mother is right, you are unconventional, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. I have no idea how your grandfather would think about your friendship with Wesen and being in relationship with a Hexenbiest whose already given you a child. Despite everything, they have proven themselves," Marie stated looking over Monroe, Rosalee, and Adalind who were standing behind Nick.

"Renard, we need to talk," Kelly Sr. state, Renard stared at her wearily wondering what the women wanted, she had ever had as fierce reputation as Marie, but she was more vicious in some respects while not in others as she had married a human, or Renard thought she had married a human, there was always something not quite right about Richard, like he was hiding something. It would make sense if he had been a Grimm.

"What do you need?" Renard asked wearily more than a little annoyed at how demanding the women was being, even though he knew she couldn't hurt him as she was already dead he was still weary she could still do something to him even though she was a ghost. Renard had gotten to know Richard quite well as a Rookie as he had been paired with the man quite a few times.

"Contact your family in Wien, explain to them that another attack on Grimm's anywhere will result in their eradication. This is our offer of piece. It can be negotiated for us to hunt down Wesen who have broken the law," Kelly Sr started, glaring at Renard making it quite clear she was being serious. Nick stared at his mother in muted shock, it was more than a little extreme.

"Essentially being the Police of the Wesen world like we were originally. If anyone from any of the seven families try and murder another Grimm it will result in the eradication of every member of that family down to the last child," Marie stated cold glaring at Renard who had gone rather pale as he looked at Diana. Nick shuddered at his Aunt's words. He could understand a little why most Wesen were scared of her.

"Its been done before, we will do it again if necessary," Marie and Kelly Sr. added staring at Sean who gulped, wanting nothing more than to look away but found himself unable to do so, there was something captivating about the two women and scary at the same time. These two women had killed and murdered more Wesen than most Grimm's combined.

"I will explain it the best I can to Victor and my…remaining family but I can't guarantee they will listen," Renard replied already knowing his cousin wouldn't listen, his sister might though it would be very unlikely Nick would be happy as she had tried to have Monroe killed as a warning to stay out of Wesen business and messing with the status quo, Nick had not been pleased.

"Renard would you be find if Adalind come with me and my son. Joint Custody could be arranged for Diana as she will be spending a great deal of time with me. As you have an extremely minor chance of ever getting the throne, your daughter might have a better chance," Nick suggested, Renard nodded, he was more than fine with sharing Joint Custody of Diana with Nick as he knew the Grimm would do everything to protect her.

"Is Wien a lovely place?" Adalind asked more than a little curious as she had only been to Kronoberg Castle, when she had escaped, she hadn't gotten much of a chance to admire the country side of Germany as she had been pregnant, and, on the run, she very much wished she had gotten the chance to have a better look around but it hadn't happened.

"It's worth a visit, but after I've set up a powerbase, then I'll risk taking you there," Renard replied knowing it would take a while for him to create a power base half as big as half as big as the one he had here in Portland, he would need to make arrangements while he was away. Nick watched as his ghost self was pulled through the portal, once said portal was closed any sign of what in the mirror universe/timeline disappeared as did Marie and Kelly Sr.

Diana picked up the ring from where it was lying in the mud and stared at it, her eyes glowed neon purple, the ring started to smoke and melted, the gems started to burn until they were nothing more then dust. Diana's eyes returned to normal and she yawned, clearly very tired. Renard agreed to let Hank, Nick and Wu have the next two days off, as they clearly needed it, Nick looked absolutely exhausted, the haunted look had lessened but hadn't faded

"Where are you going to keep the staff as someone is likely going to want to steal if they knew what it could do," Wu commented after they had been told they had the next two days off. Nick leaned back in his chair as he tried to figure out where the best place to keep the staff would be. He knew it about to bring people back to life, he suddenly felt the need to take the staff to the trailer. He hadn't had the heart to move it.

"I can protect itself. I'm going to go to the trailer to try something," Nick replied absentmindedly, he instinctively knew the staff wouldn't be going anywhere with anyone who intended its power the way Zerstorer had planned and had done. Nick got the impression the staff was more alive then most people thought. Hank and Wu shared a curious look wondering what Nick was planning to do.

"What are you planning?" Wu asked even though he had Wu asked even though he had a pretty good idea ass they already knew the Staff could bring people back from the dead, if it could do that then what other ability did it have. Wu knew Nick was thinking of using the staff to undo the damage Juliette had done to the trailer when she had set it on fire, destroying hundred of years of history.

"The Staff can bring it back from the dead by reversing time, what if you could do the same with paper, glass bottles and weapons," Nick answered grinning, he knew it was going to work he didn't know how, he saw the doubtful look on Hank and Wu faces but paid them no mind, he knew it was going to work. The Staff would do whatever the person holding it wanted.

"Are you sure it can bring back everything you lost in the fire she started?" Hank asked, a little worried Nick was getting his hopes up. It would be horrible if it didn't end up working, the look gave him made him regret his words instantly. He still couldn't wrap his head around the fact Juliette had destroyed everything in the trailer just because she couldn't find what she wanted like a toddler throwing a tantrum when they didn't get what they wanted.

Hank and Wu followed Nick out to their cars.

"I know it's going to work. Let's get Monroe, Rosalee and Trubel from the Spice Shop, we're going to need their help to move everything, back to trailer," Nick commented as he climbed into his car with Hank, Wu followed them to the Spice Shop, it was a bonus that Adalind was there with Diana and Kelly. They were more then happy to help move the stuff they had saved back to the trailer.

Adalind hoped it would work for Nick's sake. Nick with help of Wu, Hank, Trubel, Monroe and Rosalee move what they had been able to save from the trailer into his car, so it could be restored with the rest of the trailer. Rosalee gasped when she saw how burnt the trailer was, even more horrified when she saw the inside and wished she could punch Juliette.

When everything was back in the trailer, Nick grabbed the staff and walked into the trailer while Hank, Wu, Rosalee, Monroe, Diana and Adalind waited outside. Nick gently touch one of the burnt books and watched in amazement as time seemed to rewind, spreading from one of the books to the rest of the trailer, within five minutes everything in the trailer had been restored, from the books, to the jars, to the pictures on the ceiling.

When he stepped outside he was surprised to see the trailer looked brand-new, like it had just come from the factory though there were strange circles, symbols, and lines on the door. Hank, Wu, Trubel, Monroe walked inside and were surprised it had worked. Diana waved her hand and books and bottles returned to the shelves, she walked over to one of the books on the open table. It was open on a picture about a Hexenbiest. Diana turned to look at her mother and pointed to the picture.

"That looks like you Mom," Diana commented, Adalind smiled when she saw the hand-drawn picture, it did look a bit like her to be honest even though the drawing was likely very old the resemblance was uncanny, she leaned over the table and started to read the information more than a little interested, she had never really understood why the contents of the trailer was so important to Nick other then it containing information about various, she now realised the trailer contained a lot more then just his history

There done. It took four days for me to completely edit this which isn't as long as I thought it would take me. I have Karel_Stein_Adler's permission to make the changes I have. I will try keep to the main plot points with a few changes here and there. Hope you enjoyed.

I should have the next chapter up by the 5th or 6th of June, depending on how long it takes and how busy I am. If there is anything you think I should add or haven't quite gotten right, then please do tell.
