"And so that is how the war for Fodlan played out." Glitz wrote. "With the territories united, we renamed the place the United Kingdom of Fodlan. As for its ruler, it's been decided that Byleth would be the best choice as someone to rule this country with Edelgard and Dimitri acting as his advisors."

"Brother, what are you writing?" Jin asked.

"Letter to our parents. They're gonna wanna know what happened before we get home." Glitz said.

"We've already gotten our reply back." Cedric said. "Our parents were...quite surprised to put it mildly, but at the same time, they were impressed, saying that they probably would've done the same."

"No surprise considering the kind of trouble they caused back in the day." Athena said.

"As for our Dad, he just wanted to say that he was proud of us and to continue discovering new worlds and such." Alex said.

"Yeah. A shame this is the end of our academy life." Glitz said. "But honestly, it's been fun."

"Yeah...cause now begins our hero career!" Jin shouted.

"What? Wait, I never agreed to that!" Glitz said as Jin ran off. "Hey, get back here you…"

"*sigh* Old habits die hard, don't they?" Cedric asked.

"Heh. Yes. They certainly do. Guess this is where we part too." Maya said.

"But this isn't the end. I have this feeling that we'll see each other again." Cheetah II said brushing her tail on Cedric.

"Hey, I think you would be better with me, pretty kitty." Oliver said.

"I could destroy you with one claw." Cheetah II said.

"A swing and a miss." Oliver said backing away.

"Nice try, Oliver. But like your father, you'll find someone, don't you worry." Nicole said.

"Yeah...maybe you'll meet a nice siren girl someday while acting like a goof." Carine said.

"Yeah maybe...wait a minute!" Oliver said as Carine laughed.

"Ah, you are so easy sometimes." Carine said.

"Hehe, man I love you guys." Edward laughed. "We should get together again sometime... y'know, without the people trying to kill us part."

"I doubt I'll have the time." Ben replied. "My galaxy is still facing the First Order, and my parents will need all the help they can get."

"Thrust from one war to another. Your life just never gets easy, does it?" Tatsuya asked.

"Nah, it really doesn't. I'll actually be here a bit longer." Glitz said returning.

"Really Glitz? Why?" Jason asked.

"I made a promise." Glitz said showing some formulas.

"Wait...are these…" Ryuuko asked.

"Potential ways to remove crests." Glitz said.

"You're really going to try it? Remove Edelgard and Lysithea's crests?" Voltic asked.

"That's right. I want to see them live long lives and be free from this curse they fell under." Glitz said.

"Well, I hope it all works out, Glitz." Cedric said.

"Don't worry. It may seem impossible but that's what I love about science. Always something new to try and solve." Glitz said.

"Yeah, science!" Edward said. "If anybody can do it, you can! And uh...I on the off-chance you get stumped, just call. I'll help in any way I can, k?"

"I'll call you if I need a gorilla to do some heavy lifting." Glitz said.

"It's a deal!" Edward said, grinning.

"So...what's on the agenda for you two?" Glitz asked Jason and Claude.

"I'm planning on going to Almyra. Since there's no more alliance, I can be free to do as I please." Claude said.

"I was thinking about trying to refine my skills." Jason said. "Glitz, what you said at the Battle of the Eagle and Lion… I'm taking it to heart."

"What do you mean, Jason?" Kaze asked.

"I shouldn't be my dad…. I should be the future. I'm gonna travel the world and be my own hero, the way I want to be, not the way dad was." Jason said. "I'll serve the world, with spear in hand."

"Heh. Well then, I wish you the best of luck then." Glitz said.

"Sounds like you know whatcha want, Jason." Cross said. "Me, I'm headin' back home to pick up my stuff and start taking jobs again. Bows are great to use, but I can't work without my six-shooter."

"I need to head back too. Dad must be worried about me." Ryuuko said. "Plus, I'm the next head of the clan, so I'm a little too important to be out in the open this long."

"What will you do, Cedric, Athena?" Jason asked.

"I think we'll be heading back to Floralia. The events here have told us that we'll need a bit more training before we can go out on our own journey." Cedric said. "Plus, I'm sure Father and Mother would like to catch up and let us know how much we missed."

"Father would want to hear about the success of my work. I should head back as well." Atlas said. "You should too, Thetis."

"Yeah, wouldn't want mom to get angry at me." Thetis said. "At least our cousins will be happy to see us."

"I think the four of us will head home too, I think we need a break after everything we've been through." Alex said.

"Yeah, wouldn't want to be on the receiving end on Dad's cooking ladle." Aiden said.

"I'll s-see you again right?" Maria asked Cedric with a blush.

"Of course we'll see each other again." Cedric said.

"O-Okay. I'll hold you to that." Maria said as she quickly kissed his cheek before following after Alex and the others.

"Careful, Cedric. Get a little too close, and you'll fall for her spell." Cheetah II said.

"Sh-shut it, Valeria." Cedric said with a blush.

"Still...this war pales when it comes to the big ones our families fought in." Glitz said. "Doesn't even compare to the biggest battle against the family of our old man's archenemy."

"What are you talking about?" Cross asked.

"Huh? You haven't heard? It's one of the biggest events ever to occur back then. A famous scientist and explorer pitting his 25 families against each other for a chance at a massive fortune. They called it…" Glitz said.

THE INHERITANCE WAR SAGA

Present Day...

Back in the Galaxy King, David woke up in his room.

"What the? What's with all the alerts?" Nami asked.

"The alarms are going off. Some sort of footage is overtaking all of the major TV stations and video receivers in every universe." Miles said.

"Just before we could leave Paris too." Rarity said holding several bags.

"You've certainly been busy." Sachiko said.

"Well, some of us like to look their best for everything. Not all of us can wear the same thing everyday." Rarity said.

"What...in the worlds is this?" Jexi said as footage began to appear across all of the worlds as a familiar face appeared.

"Dad?!" Damien said.

"It's Cretaceous!" Hope said.

"Hello all who live within the worlds. My name is Cretaceous Flux. Be calm, this is not an invasion by any means. Now...to explain. To all who bare my last name Flux...the time has come. I only have a short year left to live, which means...the battle for the inheritance will now begin." he said.

"Oh boy… We just got into the fight of our lives." David said as he finished getting dressed.

"It's about to begin…" Hope said. "The war between 25 families who bear the name Flux. The Prize… all of Cretaceous's work."

"The Inheritance war." Jexi said. "We all knew this would be coming eventually."

"Now...I will explain how this will work. To each of my kin who bare my blood: I give you three options: To Save, To Find or To Kill. To Find is simple, you will have to find my location. To Kill: you will have to kill a target given to you and find me and kill me as well. And to Save, for that you will have to cure the affliction on my body known only as Malice as well as find where I am. As we speak, multiple Delibird's are delivering notecards to each of my kin. Check them and you will be given more instructions. You all have until the 1st of spring. That's six months. However, if none of you succeed, my fortune will go to my eldest child. It was the eldest sister of the 2nd but...thanks to a new discovery, the fortune will resolve over to...Artemis Coronus Flux of my 1st family." Cretaceous said.

"WHAT?!" Hope said. "He can't give the fortune over to Arthur, that's insane!"

"Imagine what a guy like Arthur could do with all of Cretaceous's knowledge…" Gemini said.

"I think you two are overreacting." Tokoyami said.

"Sorry. It's still shocking that Arthur's of the Flux Family too." Hope said.

"Hope, we already know that Arthur is Artemis. Francisca revealed it all the way in Cho-Tokyo, remember?" David asked.

"Yeah, I know." Hope said.

"Hmmm...wonder how the other Flux Family members might take it?" Mina said.

At ASG HQ…

"His...fortune. That includes all of his scientific knowledge and weapons." Theodore said grinning ear to ear. "I am so in! I'll become the president with that power!"

In the Universal Prison…

"So much money...come on! Let me outta here! I gotta earn me that fat stack of cash!" James said.

Somewhere on New World…

"One final chance." Flux said. "This is my last chance to beat those heroes and Jexi."

At the Neo Dimensional Heroes's base…

"You're going too, right Kenshin?" Leonis asked.

"I've said this before. My father's fortune holds no interest for me." Kenshin said.

"Same here. A hero needs no dollar signs. Only his can do spirit!" Heart said posing.

"Barry, you're part of their family too. Will you participate?" Zexi asked.

"You know what?" Barry Flux said, his clenched fists going unnoticed. "I think I will."

The New Universal Villains ship…

"This is your chance, Techno!" Dadan said. "If you get your hands on Cretaceous's fortune, you'll have all the powers of the multiverse at your disposal!"

"That certainly sounds promising." Techno mused. "I'll do it. I will win this Inheritance War!"

"That's the spirit. And at the same time...we get to spread our influence to the other villainous groups out there." DaDan said laughing.

Back at the Galaxy King…

"So much is going to happen now. I'm looking forward to this. Dad...I'm coming to see you again." Damien said.

To be continued...
