This fanfiction doubles as a sequel fanfiction to "Steven Universe Blackthorned" and "A Drunken Knockout Marriage". So, I suggest you read both those fics and the related fics, because we will be diving right into the meat of things. That will be mass crossovers with characters from all matters of western animation, anime, books, and so on. It will be insane for you to keep up the amount of references, but I dare you to try.

Now, cue the opening song.

Adventure Time (FusionFall Variant) Theme

It's Fusion Time

Come on, grab your friends

We'll travel across this wild world

With too many faces to count

The possibilities will never end, It's Infinite!

FusionFall Infinite

Season 0 (Preface Pandemonium Saga)

Chapter 1: Smack in the Middle

In a world like CN-Zen Kuro, the possibilities were endless. A true clash of all the beloved pieces of animation from Cartoon Network all living on one planet. It sounds like a dream come true…but it doubles as your worst nightmare sometimes as well. I can't say that I'm some kind of main character, but then again, many shifted from secondary to primary. My name is Saki Sapphire Shadows, and this isn't entirely story, but I'm going to be leading into it.

|-This chapter takes place immediately after the events of the A Drunken Knockout Marriage chapter, "A Reunion of Monsters (part 2)"-|

[Cues: Dragon Ball GT: Transformation OST – Tense Cut Scene]

A good chunk of the forest? Nothing but scorched earth with small patches of Flames of Creation all around.

"I don't see… Wait, there they are!" Maylene said pointing out bodies.

"Bloody hell…I can barely sense them." Marie said panicked.

"Kaze, you bastard. You better not die on me…or your wife and kid." I thought before saying, "Take us down, now!"

The scene was awful, and I did not need my oracle powers to see that. It looked like the warzones in my days of the Fusion Wars. I hoped Maylene would never have to see things like this. The bodies were in bad shape as the team checked for injuries.

"I have a fatality!" Frankie yelling finding pieces of a body.

Taeko throws up and I don't chide him for it. Neither does his father.

"Ugh…" A pained voice said.

I turn and see someone on top of two others probably shielding them. Mandy and I run up to her and she rolls off of two revealing them to be Winnie and Kaio. She was coughing up blood and her body looked broiled.

"What happened?" I asked.

"We were attacked…*cough*…by someone called Argit. He wanted to collect the bounty on Kaze and his *cough* family. We fought, but Argit was too much for us all, had a device that let him…" She said coughing up more blood.

I merely lay a hand on her hand using Shin Oracle: Divination to read her mind of what had occurred. Yes, I did know the "forbidden variant" of the standard powers. However, due to my lesser rank, it's not completely perfect on the fly. I'd need time and focus to hone it. Basically, it assured that Elvin would keep me around back in the day. What I had learned got me to turn Kevin.

"Kevin, you're familiar with the Argit of this world?" I asked him.

"Yeah, why?" Kevin said raising an eyebrow.

"When the fuck was you going to mention he had a fucking Omnitrix?!" I roared whirling around to face him.

"Easy, Shadows. I didn't even know he had one. Always wore long sleeved stuff around me and never used it around me!" Kevin said defensively.

This was bad! An Omnitrix was an object that nearly impossible to get even for a warper. For most, getting one without getting killed by Paradox would require you to get the broken prototype Ben had to discard in Alien Force. And that's just the crappy prototype! To get the Ultimatrix you'd have to steal it before Azmuth destroyed it and escape Paradox. Ripping it off Ben's wrist usually wasn't an option considering the defensive systems. So, getting an Omnitrix is hard. Hell, getting mine was a streak of luck, and Argit had Saiyan DNA! Actually, now that I think of it, why didn't I get Saiyan DNA! Hell, I could have gotten Endurion DNA off of Ryker!

"Omnitrix, scan DNA source." I said aiming at Kaze's fallen body. "Might as well gain a Saiyan. Freaking broken the lot of them."

Mandy had done the same, but now we have a problem. Argit. I hate to admit it, but we would have to let him get away for now. Kaze and the others needed a medic, and I would rather not have the president's forces collect them. No doubt Madame President would want answers.

"Dad….she's gone…" Maylene said getting me out of my thoughts.

Elsa, the girl who had gotten me the information I needed, had passed due to her wounds. That was a sign we had to move everyone fast. Leaving her body behind, we had loaded them in silence before we took up for Original County's hospital. During our flight, I look over at the forlorn Frankie. Crusher looked at me and I could tell we were on the same page. As much as we despised Elvin, Frankie was as much a just as much a victim of him as we were. Hell, the kids will have with their father's shadow on them forever. I fear to ask Frankie how her children are doing, but I do anyway. Not like I'm going like what I hear.

|End Saki's P.O.V.|

First to arrive on orders of Madame President were the Plumbers, specifically Ben's team, Team Matrix. Ben looked at this mess with eyes of worry and concern.

"Ben, this isn't good. Whoever was here bears traces of an energy similarly used in your Omnitrix. I sadly can't tell details because two others have seemed to cause a scramble in the data." Driba said annoyed at his scanner.

"Someone was here. They got to the aftermath of the battle before us." Ben said looking down at the ground. "And yet they left the corpses."

"I would say scavengers for warper flames, but those bodies still bare flames." Rook asked.

"A recuse, maybe?" Shar suggested.

"But for who's side?" Ben said readying his Omnimatrix and turning into Clockwork.

Using his powers of time, he tried to get a clear picture of what happened but did not get much. Whoever moved them covered their tracks, but Ben was able to see a piece of the fight. At least the part that explained the explosion.

"You realize the moment we tell the president that we have an Omnitrix user unaccounted for, she's going to tear us all a new asshole." Lucy said terrified.

"But how would she even do that?" Rook said confused.

"Expression, brother. She's going to just yell her head off at us." Shar said with a sigh.

"Saiyan DNA! Why didn't I think of that?!" Ben said returning to his human form. "Ok, so we know who was fighting and why. But we don't know who saved them or what happened to Argit."

"I can't sense him and searching now would be difficult at this hour." Lucy said. "We'll have to call Providence in."

"Plus, I'd be lying if I didn't say we're all exhausted." Rook said with a sigh.

They sealed up the corpses and left on their ship knowing they were not going to get a pat on a back. Driba was at least glad he did was not really a part of Ben's team to endure that.

"By the way, where's your other Anodite cousin…Sunny was it? I haven't seen her since I joined the team." Shar said as Rook was piloting.

"Rehab. She is a part of this team, but she's been rehab for to her addiction on overfeeding on mana. She was doing that to try to gain more power to convince our Grandma she was just as powerful as Gwen. It didn't work, and she's been in recovery for the long while." Ben admitted somberly. "And right after she joined the Plumbers too."

However, far down the river, out of reach at the moment from the search party, between what was Ghoul School and the military school was Argit. His Omnitrix kicked in emergency reserves and turned him into "Ripjaws" as he floated down the river. His eyes cracked open as he crawled into shore returning to his normal form.

"Damn it…" Argit wheezed in clear pain. "I underestimated him…"

Argit struggled to his feet having ki and warper burns on his arms and back. Argit cursed under his breath that his favorite jacket was ruined and cursed harder realizing he was on his own until his Trix recharged. He had to trudge on as the last thing he wanted was to be caught.

|Half an Hour before New Year's 2019|

Being president, Tara Strong wondered how any president was able to handle such a workload. Of course, she knew could not spend all day watching TV, tweeting, or arguing with both parties. She sarcastically wished it could be easy, but it was always busy. At least, her vice president, Miss Bellum was a mercy. When Ben's team had arrived, she called a meeting in "The Bunker". The Bunker was her war room hidden underground from prying eyes. At her desk, she was surrounded by her generals. White Knight of Providence headed one half of the military and handled affairs of EVOs and nanites. Max Tennyson, Magister of Earth's Plumbers, headed the other half and dealt with alien affairs. Then there was the Kids (it's Teen and Adult cells) Next Door's ambassador, the veteran Kuki Sanban. Rounding out her war council was the cliché suck up, House Speaker Scrappy-Doo. Ben's team had arrived just as Scrappy began to address Tara and Bellum.

"Ahem, Madame President, crime has managed to have stabilized. While it remains high in Vice and the neighboring ghetto that connects us and Vice, it's average to below-average around most of the core. This means we have attracted more investors. In fact, WNN has asked to for office space to do news reports in our verse in the future. I have secured that space, and all I require is your signature, madame." Scrappy said slipping her the papers.

"Ah, Scrappy, excellent work. Now about that explosion of warper energy, do have a reason to why it occurred." Tara said turning to Ben's team.

Ben started to sweat, and Rook shoved the papers to Max. Max took one look at it and paled alongside with Scrappy who took a peep at it.

"President Strong….I….Max….." Scrappy said nervously.

"The reason was a battle…apparently between Kaze and his family against Argit. We were not able to discover why, and all we know are two things. One, the sword Kaze wields has been identified as a Metsu Blade. Two….Argit has been confirmed to have an Omnitrix." Max said as Sara's face fell. "And we did not find neither Argit nor Kaze there after Providence was called to search. Only two casualties, but anyone alive was already taken."

Tara's body shook so much that her Bubbles-themed coffee cup clattered in her hand. She lain it down and had a hard glare on her face.

"Everyone get the hell out. Scrappy, Max, White, and Kuki stay." Tara said.

All those who were not named bolted out of the room not wanting to stick around but listen in from outside the door. The moment the door slammed shut, Tara rose up.

"How the fuck did this happen, huh?!" Tara snapped. "Someone managed to outpace you all and prevent us from doing our jobs!"

"And now you tell me that we have a Metsu Sword holder and another Omnitrix user! Is this some kind of joke?!" Tara ranted snatching the papers out of Max's hands to look it over. "Argit! Fucking Argit! And someone wants to explain why the hell Kaze or Argit haven't have been found. It has literally been close to a week!"

White Knight was unflinching, but the other three were not so steeled.

"Providence came in tandem with the Plumbers and the Kids Next Door. How in the fuck could you not find either one?!" Tara asked.

"My lady, please calm down. They are trying their best to locate them!" Scrappy said trying to appease her.

"And a week has passed with no hair or hide of either of them!" Tara said rubbing her head.

"But my lady, Kaze doesn't have a known address according to his record. Argit's on the other hand…it seems he managed to bribe an official to dispose of his record. Only thing on record in the standard information, but no soc, no addresses, and no criminal record." Max said bitterly. "We discovered this a few hours ago before the system went down."

"Bribery? I will not stand for this!" Tara said slamming the coffee mug on the desk causing it to bounce off the desk and clatter on the floor. "It's bullshit!"

"How is it that there is corruption among the ranks already? Our government is barely a year old!" Tara said slamming her fist on her desk.

Tired of yelling, she slumped on her desk slowly beginning to calm down.

"Scrappy, I want a sweep of all our government employees. Any one of them dirty, I want them arrested immediately." Tara said in a tired voice. "Bellum will assist you there."

"Yes, m'am." Scrappy said getting the cracked cup back in the desk.

"Max, I want Ben's team to continue searching for Argit, but I want them to keep an eye out for Gwen and Kevin as well." Tara remarked.

"But why Gwen and Kevin?" Kuki asked.

"Simple. I have a reason to believe the ones who saved Kaze were smart enough to leave no trace for the Plumbers. Plus, my sources recently informed Fusion Force has been quiet, and none of them have been seen in the Inner City Core since the morning after the explosion." Tara said. "I want them found."

"And as for Providence?" White Knight asked.

"You can stand down for now." Tara said before turning to Kuki. "As for you, I want spies on all entryways into the Core. If any of the Fusion Force is sighted, I want to be informed."

Tara's watched beeped signaling the new year of 2019.

"And we're done here, dismissed." Tara said as they left the room leaving the president to sulk.

"Tara, this is personally the worst time to let you know this, but one of our ambassadors just returned. Apparently, he's been trying to reach us since a few days ago to give us this." Sara said walking in and putting down an old newspaper.

Tara opened it up and the New Year was rung in with bad news already and the gunshots that rang out the air. Pity the fools were outside at risk to be riddled with holes, but a certain oracle would smile bright that early morning.

(A/N: That's right, the sequel is here. As I stated in "A Drunken Knockout Marriage" and "Steven Universe Blackthorned", the crossovers will be an insane amount. I could list some of the shows that are set to appear in, but I don't think I will unless you readers demand it. I'll just leave this, when I say any and all shows airing on Cartoon Network could appear, I mean ALL of them with some exceptions. The DCAU will be rather tricky, and I don't have intentions to have them in at the moment. The Teen Titans might show up depending on how I can fit them into the story.

(Show that I have no intention of having physically show up:

Ben 10 (2016) – Reason: It would be redundant to have the 2016 counterpart running around. While the reboot is trying to improve, the art style just doesn't gel for me. Thus, it'll stay as just a "tv show" for them.

Powerpuff Girls (2016) – Reason: Pointless, considering the originals are there already. No, I won't have the reboot villains' show up either. It'll join Ben 10 (2016) in being just a "tv show" to mock.

Star Wars: The Clone Wars – Reason: SW was never my strong suit, and thankfully I can also give the excuse that Disney owns SW them now. (Pokémon will be my exception to this considering Cartoon Network held onto Pokémon for the longest time. However, to reflect this, the Pokémon Isles in CN-Zen Kuro do not have an Alola region.)

12 Oz. Mouse – Reason: No, just no.

Teen Titans Go! – Reason: No, just no.
