Rescue 6

1,695 Years ago

My name is Rapunzel and I am a coward. When I was sent away by Celestia I was brought to an uncharted forest.

I blinked into existence as I looked around, “Where am I? Thanos? Zackary? G-Grievous?!” I said looking around, “Where am I?” I walked around in search of my friends. I used Observation Haki and I looked far and I saw Grievous! 

I ran towards Grievous’ location, running as fast as I could. I was smiling. Me and Grievous go way back, we were the best of friends on Earth. When I saw him I immediately stopped in my tracks and I saw Grievous getting carried away by the Royal Guard. There were a thousand of them and I saw Captain Black Shield. Grievous looked mortally wounded… I couldn’t move… I was too scared of getting captured, too scared of ending up like Grievous. Grievous groaned and looked over to me, he knew I was there.

...I turned away and began to run the opposite direction, tears filled my eyes as I ran away. I couldn’t face them, I was too scared.

I let my friend get captured, and it’s all my fault… I’m nothing but a traitor.

A Failure.


Thanos POV.

I stood there, side by side with my comrades, I glanced up to Rapunzel. She wasn't looking at me, it was weird, why wasn't she looking at us in awe or hope?

"Thanos, what's our game plan?" Lucci asked me, I got out of my Superhero Landing pose.

"Get to Rapunzel, prevent Rapunzel from getting executed, and find out what they're waiting for." I said,  Lucci nodded in understanding. 

"...I feel it." Grievous said, he began to glance around rapidly. Sally curled an eyebrow.

"Feel what?" Sally inquired, Grievous turned back to us.

"The Sword of Fire, the Fire Sword!" Grievous then ran off, going up Mount Ares. Multiple soldiers tried to stop him, Grievous clenched his weapons and growled like a rabid wolf. “OUT OF MY WAY! Four Sword Style: Elemental Cross Slash!” Grievous crossed his swords together like an X and slashed at them. He made a giant slash and cut the enemies in his way down.

"Grievous wait!" Entity cried out, about to run after Grievous, though I held him back. I shook my head.

"It's better for all of us to be together, Grievous' Elemental Swords are important to him. And his swords are a part of us, they're our friends." I spoke, Entity nodded and took a stance with his Netherite Scythe.

"Now… Celestia, surrender now so I don't have to kick your ass!" I ordered the Princess of the Sun. I took out my sword and I spun it around, I then clenched my offhand, and with Lava Dragon Slayer Magic my left fist was covered in lava. My right hand that held my Infinity Blade went aflame.

"Thanos, you are alone with your allies, every ruler is here. Each and everyone of us are as strong as one of you, we have an army, your army is fighting our ships. So here you stand before me with no one but yourself and your companions. You can't stop us." Celestia spoke from afar. Celestia’s horn glowed and she was placed in her Solar Sun Armor, she then forged her Light Sword and spun it around.

"Well I couldn't if I didn't have a plan!" I said with a cackle, my Royal Airship appears from the clouds below. Celestia gasped as well as the others in surprise. Below it Supergirl was there grinning.

"Sup bitches!" Supergirl then put the airship down and flew over next to us. "Where's Grievous?" I didn’t even bother looking back at her and I just stared into Celestia’s eyes.

"Getting the Fire Sword," I then hear an explosion, and a cackle from Grievous. Grievous was currently in the middle of the battlefield fighting off hundreds of warriors. "And doing that apparently." 

With a SLAM the bridge to my Royal Airship hit the ground, my elite warriors came out. Tora was there as well, Emerald Gauntlet and Sapphire Sword were ready for battle. Tora jumped far before landing next to us and went in a stance.

“My King, I’m ready to fight!” Tora declared, looking at me, she then blinks and looks around. “Where’s General Grievous?”

“Getting the Fire Sword.” I answered, “Now as he gets it… We’ll get her.” I said, pointing at Rapunzel. Tora nodded, the Gem Generals now caught up to us.

“My King, what shall we do to aid you in battle?” Sapphire Sword said, taking out her blade, I glanced at her before tilting my head to avoid an attack from Celestia, a beam of light exact.

“I wish for you, all of you, to get anyone out of our way. We’re getting Rapunzel, and it’s just going to be the friends who she was brought into this world with that’s going to be by her side. Er, no offense.” I said, as I took a step forward.

“Eh, it’s no biggie man, you’re friends, right?” Marco said, “No, Tora,Emerald, Ruby, Sapphire, let’s hold the others off as they go on ahead.” 

“I take no orders for you, but if it’s for the King, then fine.” Sumidetora said as poison gets to leak from her body. The four then take up a stance.

“Go my King, we’ll hold them off!” Sapphire clenched her sapphire sword and grit her teeth, Emerald Gauntlet readied his gauntlets and smashed his fists together, and Ruby took out her sword as well and grinned.

“Alright, Displaced Assemble!”


I was currently marching my way towards the location where I felt my Fire Sword. It was over by a cave, I was currently going up some steps and kicking off and guard who was opposing me. Though even still, some guards were talented enough to block my attacks.

As I swung down on one guard to cut them down, they slid under me and sliced my back. Sparks came out given that I was metal, though it didn’t leave a mark it still hurt. I turned around with my Earth Sword in hand. I slammed the sword against the wall that was next to us and a pillar came out and hit the guard. The guard screamed as he fell off the staircase to the cave.

“Enough of this shit.” I said as I brought out my Wind Sword and I stuck the two swords that I had in my hand and pulled myself up. I shot myself into the air and I used the Wind Sword to blow air behind me. Many guards tried to shoot me down, but one hit me and knocked me off course.

“Annoying fodder!” I growled, using Geppo I shot myself towards them and used Tekkai to solidify my body as I crashed into them. Dust kicked up the air and using Observation Haki I analyzed my surroundings, I looked around and five total guards were up here. I grabbed one of the guards heads with one of my talons before throwing them into one of the other guards, the two then went and tumbled down the side of the staircase. I then slammed my Earth Sword into the ground and Obsidian spikes stuck out and pierced through their bodies. I walked past them and continued my trek up the staircase.

I was like a level one hundred players going back to the start of the game, or at least that’s what I’m thinking anyways. As I got up to the top there were ten guards up there. “Hrah!” I kicked down one of the Hippogriff Soldiers that went in my way, through the entrance to a pond. I sighed deeply. The other nine ran at me, I raised my Water Sword and slammed it down, I was then surrounded in my Water Sphere, I then spun around and the water sphere expanded and pushed everyone off.

“Get fucked fodder, you guys are adopted.” I said, toxicity oozing out of my voice. “Oh god my Ninja is showing, forgive me.” I chuckled and walked into the room of the pond. There were a few Hippogriffs guarding it and they let out a battlecry. I rolled my eyes at the amount of people who were trying to get in my way.

“You’ll never harm Princess Skystar!” One of the guards said as they ran towards, I then grabbed the man’s head with my claw and I slammed his head onto the ground, knocking them out. One of the other guards ran at me, they raised their spear high only for me to cut it in two with my Water Sword. I then stabbed the female soldier with my Earth Sword.

“W-what did you do?” The guard quivered, I took my blade out of her.

“Nothing, just increase the size of the iron in your body, it’ll take effect in five, four, three, two, one and....” The guard then explodes, her blood spraying on my body. I then glance over to the three remaining guards. “Do you guys… Fear death?”

“Yes!” The guard then runs around me and escapes, I paid no mind to him, he was wise.

“Coward!” His comrades cry out, they glare at the exit then back to me, I then try to frown even though my face is permanently like that.

“It isn’t cowardly to be smart.” I said before stepping forth, I then slam my foot down, making them jump. “He is a wise man, knowing when to fight and when to run.”

“B-But, I thought you were the kind of warrior who hates when their enemies run!” One of the guards says, I then sigh and I clench my blades.

“Yes, I was like that at one point in my life, hating when my prey ran from me, considering it shameful. However I’ve grown to respect people who flee, but know this, I do not do this all the time. You two, however, aren’t as wise as your comrade.” I then began to stomp my way towards them, my swords creating sparks on the ground.HI only had two out, the Water Sword and the Earth Sword. They then rushed me for a valiant effort to attack, but I raised my Earth Sword high and stone pillars erupted beneath them and slammed them into the ceiling. 

"Ggs ez." I said as I made my way to the pond. "Where is the entrance again? It couldn't be underwater… Right? Well, only one way to find out. Wee!" I then somersault and jump inside the pool of water. 

It was dark, I couldn't see a thing, all I know is that I was drowning. I quickly used my Water Sword and made a bubble around my head, allowing me some access to air. I gasped for air before I swam about, "Now, where is my precious Fire Sword…?" I move between the houses of the Underwater Kingdom. I sometimes looked inside just to scare them but then I glanced at an orphanage… I felt it. It was there. I then swam over to the orphanage and I kicked down the door to the entrance of it, I then swam in, I saw a few children huddled up in a corner. Shaking and crying, not that I could see their tears given that we were underwater. My gaze fell upon a yellowish Hippogriff who had a crown on her head, she was holding my sword up to her chest.

"Ah, Princess Skystar I believe? My name is General Grievous of the Kingdom of Minos." I said ever so casually, I approached the Princess. "W-"

"I know who you are! Y-you're a Swordsman, an evil one who wants his sword back. I won't give it to you so that you can cause harm!" Skystar declared, I stomped my foot on the ground, making the building shake.

"Give. Me. My. Sword." I spoke, having one hand open, Skystar was quivering at my rage. "Do you know how long I've been apart from it? It's like not seeing your pet after a fucking YEAR!!!" I roared, I was really pissed off, she had no right to hold my sword like that. 

"Leave her alone!" Something hit the back of my head, but it bounced off, I clenched my Water Sword as I slowly turned around, I covered the sword in Armament Haki. I then breathe shakily in my anger.

"I'mma make Order 66 look like a damn tea party if you do that again." I warned the young orphan. I said, pure unadulterated wrath oozing out of my voice, the orphan then whimpers in fear.

"G-Go Princess!" I turned around and I saw Skystar booking it out of the orphanage. I look back at the kid. "Hah, now you can never get your sword back, she's the fastest in all of our lands!" The orphan boasted.

"I have no time dealing with you!" I then swim out of the orphanage, I look around to spot Skystar swimming away. Some of the guards swim towards me and I then use the Earth Sword to make the stalactites above us grow larger and stab into them.. The Swords were all Katanas meaning they were good underwater because they're sleek. In any case, the guards who got in my way were quickly dealt with. "You're only prolonging the inevitable!" I called out.

I then swim towards her, with my Water Sword my swimming speed is twice then it should be. But I'm still not able to catch up to her, using Ki energy I teleported above the Princess. I was now above her and I slammed both of my legs into her back, she groaned in pain and hit the seafloor. I took the Fire Sword because she dropped it when I kicked her.

"We're finally back together… Old friend." I looked at my Fire Sword as it glowed red, I chuckled. "It sure did take me a while."

"You'll… Never win." I heard Skystar grunt, she was currently leaning on a rock. I looked down at her and I sheathed my Fire Sword.

"Well, I look forward to when we lose." I said sarcastically, I turned around and the princess grabbed my talon. 

“I won’t let you… Get away!” Skystar said she was determined because of that I began to chuckle. I turned around, my yellow eyes began to glow, I then created a sphere of water around Skystar and drained the place of its water. I raise my Lightning Sword and I prepare to stick the blade in the sphere.

“Then, I’ll prevent you from not letting me get away.” I kicked her with my talon, making her left go of my hand, I then slammed my Lightning Blade into the water sphere and watched the fireworks unfold...


I marched on as I kicked away a soldier who was running up to me, and into Emerald Gauntlet who smashed the soldier’s head in. Emerald Gauntlet then grins ear to ear and stands up to his full height. “Come on my King, she awaits.” At first I was confused about what he meant, Rapunzel wasn’t close to being free but then I looked at Celestia.

“Aw shit, here we go again.” I then approached Celestia, Celestia’s horn lit up and her armor came on. Celestia then conjured a sword of light as we began to approach each other. I took out my Infinity Blade and set it aflame with my Devil Fruit. As we began to walk towards each other we began to pick up speed. We then went into an all out sprint towards each other, we both then swung at each other and our blades collided. It caused an explosion of heat and light to rain upon this area, Celestia glared into my eyes as we were pushing against each other. 

“What are you waiting for Celesta? What’s going on in the plagued mind?” I asked the Alicorn, Celestia then pushes be back before dispelling her blade to use the Lightspeed Kick. “Earth Dragon's Scales!” My whole left forearm turned into scales as rough as an Earth Dragon’s and I used Tekkai to keep my body firm. I then blocked the attack and didn’t even budge an inch.

“Meteor Shower!” Celestia named her attack as she began to kick and punch me at a rapid pace, I cocked back my fists and got ready to attack. My foot slammed onto the ground and I began to grin wildly.

“Dragon Slayer's Secret Art, Earth's Wrath: Rock Slide!” I surround my hands and legs with rock like skin and rapidly deliver several punches and kicks while keeping Cekestia at close distance, each delivering more pain after each impact. As our attacks collided the ground beneath us could barely keep up with us as it was being shattered beneath our feets. Using her wings, she did a mighty flap of said wings making her go airborne enough to kick me in my chin. I reeled back in pain before I put a foot behind my right.

I took a deep inhale and some rocks began to suck into my mouth, I then put the rocks into my cheeks and my cheeks began to glow red. Those weren’t rocks anymore, they were magma. “Lava Dragon's Roar!” I then shot a horizontal tornado of rocks and lava Celestia, Celsetia thought quickly and made a shield, blocking my attack from her. Though it did burn the shield and leave a few cracks in it.

“You ask me what I’m planning, just ask him.” Celestia said with a smile, I then turned around and a portal appeared, outcome Discord, the Spirit of Chaos. He began to yawn and looked down at me. My eyes opened wide and I clench my gauntlet fist, the Reality Stone began to glow. With the snap of Discord's fingers, a wave of water hit me and sent me into a building. The water then surrounds me and turns into a sphere.

"Ya know, you could have just called me from the start." Discord said, crossing his arms. Celestia began to chuckle as she watched me drown, I couldn't move because I was underwater and I had a Devil Fruit.

"After all this trouble… To see you so weak, I could possibly laugh in pure joy. But honestly it's pathetic seeing you like this." Celestia said, as she approached me. I held my hand upwards as I tried to swim but no matter how hard I tried I wasn't able to move.

"D-damn it! Not like this, I won't die like this! I still have a lot of things I need to do, people I have to see, a universe that needs balancing!" I said mentally as I began to struggle more, I was panicking, I never knew how terrifying not being able to breathe is. Began to kick and I tried to use my Dragon Slayer Magic or Alicorn Magic, ANY magic! 

"Poor, poor Thanos… Honestly I could not see this going otherwise… Goodbye, Thanos." Celestia charged up a wave of Light. 

Suddenly, a giant rock slammed into Celestia, but passed through her because she was a logia. As Celestia turned towards the one who did it, the water sphere evaporated into steam. "What? No!" Celestia was then cut across her chest which left a burn mark. Celestia howled in pain as she took a step back. 

With the slam of foot the steam cleared and as I was gasping for air, I looked up and saw General Grievous. Wielding all of his swords, the Earth Sword being carried by his talon and using his extra arms to wield the rest. "Sorry Celestia, I won't let you kill him." Grievous said with a serious glare, Celestia growled.

"Who's dealing with Discord?" I said between breaths, Grievous pointed over to Discord and I saw Nappa pummelling Discord to a pulp.

"Patty cake, patty cake, bakers MAN!" Nappa sent a fist into Discord's gut, making him wheeze in pain. "Bake me a cake as fast as you CAN!" Nappa punched Discord in his left cheek and sent a point blank Ki blast to Discord's forehead.

I then chuckled and stood to my feet, I spun my Infinity Blade around. "Looks like the fight continues." I proceeded to run at Celestia and I threw my Infinity Blade at her. Celestia shot it with a magic bolt, the Infinity Blade went back to me like Captain America's Shield. I spun around and went for a swipe of my blade, Celestia raised a foot up and blocked the attack. "Quick question, where's Lulu?"

"She's currently governing the Crystal Empire because Grievous crippled Shining Armor and sent Cadence in a depressive state!" Celestia replied with venom, I then smiled.

"I knew Luna had it in her."
