  From the sky, Nero watched the battlefield unfold beh him, the crag energy and chaos of their powers a proof of how far they had e. A few years ago, they were just people trying to find their way in life. Donald had been bao Earth, a cripple unaware of his true nature as Thor. The rest had their own struggles, none of which hi the immense power they would wield today. Now, with the Familia Rings binding them, they were unreizable from those days.

  Below, Anthony wove between two Kronans, his fists glowing with golden light as he darted in and out of their reach. Diego danced around his own oppo, disiing wind twisting with precision, keeping the hammer-wielding Kronan off bance. Sofia’s battlefield was littered with shards of id steam, her cold precision log her oppos in pigel, as calm as ever, directed the battlefield with his es, his Cloud Fmes amplifying each strike with devastating efficy.

  Maria sat in the middle of her chaos like an amused observer. Kronans battered at illusions that led them into their own allies, while others stumbled into pits or swung at air. She occasionally flicked her hand, shifting the mist just enough to keep them in turmoil.

  Sofia shouted from across the field, her spear of ice pinning an axe-wielding Kronan to the ground. “Maria! A little heads-up ime they’re walking into me!”

  Maria waved dismissively. “You’re quiough to dodge. And besides, it’s good cardio.”

  Anthony ducked under a molten bde, delivering a sharp uppercut that sent one of his oppos crashing into a boulder. “You should at least warhese guys doly e with airbags.”

  “She’ll live,” Maria replied, tossing another kernel of her imaginary pop into her mouth. “Plus, I think Sofia likes the challenge.”

  “Don’t make me e over there,” Sofia said, her voice cutting through the mist.

  Chug, Nero waved his hand, and vibrant e Sky Fmes spread outward, threading through the battlefield like rivers of light. The fmes collected the essence of the six other Rings, merging into a harmonious domain that shimmered over the chaos. As the radianveloped the Kronans still standing, their movements faltered. ons cttered to the ground, molten energy dimmed, and the r battlefield fell silent as the massive stone warriors lowered their arms.

  "Unreal," Anthony muttered, brushing dirt off his shoulder as he straightened. He stared at the Kronans, now docile and aimless.

  “We do the battling, aeals the spotlight,” Sofia groaned, gesturing at the subdued enemies with her ice spear. "Why do I even bother?"

  Diego gred at him. "Cssiero. Always making a big entrance. You couldn’t let us have this one, huh?”

  After dealing with the Kronans and bidding farewell to Asgard, the group returo their base. Nero dropped into his usual spot on the couch, Maria leaning against him, absentmindedly twirling her hair as she rested her head on his shoulder.

  Anthony rawled on a reer, one leg hanging off the side as he tossed an e from hand to hand. Donald sat nearby, flipping through a book—some Asgardiahat Odin had insisted he take. Diego leaned against the ter, sipping a drink, while Sofia tinkered with a gadget at the er of the room. ood by the window, hands csped behind his back as he watched the suhe picture of quiet posure.

  Nero closed his eyes briefly and called out mentally. "Sorel, calcute our test achievements."

  Nero looked at the list and nodded, "Not bad. Calcute the rewards."

  Others came near Nero, their attention drawn to the system s now h before him.

  “Oh, who will be our new panion?” Diego asked excitedly, leaning slightly to get a better view. His grin widened as if he expected some dramatic reveal.

  Nero smirked, tilting his head toward the dispy. “Sorel, draw them.”

  The s flickered as Sorel’s voice chimed in. “[panion Summons initiated. Processing… Summoned Characters: B-- Severus Snape (Harry Potter). C-- Gianni (Katekyo Hitman Reborn). C-- Spanner (Katekyo Hitman Reborn). Summoems: B+ Chakram of Light (inal). Summoned Abilities: B++ Dragon Shout: Fus Ro Dah (inal), C-- Energy eling (inal).]”

  Nero waved a hand, dismissing the dispy, and looked at the group. “Alright, introdus are in order. Let’s start with the obvious. First name up: Severus Snape.”

  Maria suddenly got all excited, sitting up straight. "Wait, wait! Wasn't he a wizard in that series? Potter!"

  Her excmation drew immediate fusion from the rest of the group. Anthony tossed the e in his hand to the table, frowning. "What series? What are you even talking about?"

  Sofia raised an eyebrow. "Yeah, Maria, care to expin? You just yelled like you saw your favorite celebrity or something."

  Maria’s cheeks turned a light pink. “ells me stories from Prince's world sometimes, okay? My favorite is the one about this boy wizard and his school.” She g Nero with a small smile before looking away. “It’s... Harry Potter.”

  Diego leaned against the ter, his curiosity piqued. “You mean like... bedtime stories? Are you serious?”

  Maria huffed, crossing her arms. “It’s not like that. He tells me when we’re just rexing. And yes, it’s serious! Harry Potter is amazing!”

  Donald set his book down, his gaze shiftiween Maria and Nero. “And this wizard... Snape? He’s a character from that story?”

  Nero nodded, his voice calm. “He’s from the series, yes. A skilled wizard. Brilliant at potions, and his defensive and offensive magic are unmatched.”

  Others hey’d seen their share of summons by now. Eaew additiht its own quirks and abilities to the table, some surprising and others ht bizarre. Even the seemingly mundane characters had proven to be extraordinary. Ezio once wielded a godly artifact. A wizard wasn’t a shog addition. Edward Elric had traveled to Kathmandu to study uhe Supreme Sorcerer in their world. From what old them, Edward was doing just fine.

  “How about these two?” Donald said, pointing to the names “Gianni” and “Spanner” on the list.

  Nero frowned slightly, crossing his arms. “To be ho, that’s quite a ce. They’re from the same universe as s. And they’re engineers.”

  Diego raised an eyebrow, sipping his drink. “Wait, like... meical engineers? That feels a bit out of pext to ‘wizard extraordinaire.’ What’s their deal?”

  “I told you about the Ring Boxes, right?” Nero asked, gng at the group.

  epped in smoothly, his tone factual. “Using Fmes to materialize various structs, items, or tools, correct?”

  Nero nodded. “Yeah, that’s the gist of it. These two—Gianni and Spanner—specialize in that kind of stuff. If we bring them in, we’re not just getting more hands. They could build us ons, tools, and even train others to use Fmes effectively.”

  “Train others?” Sofia asked, setting down the gadget she had been tinkering with. “Are you saying we’re going to expand beyond our current little circle?”

  “Eventually,” Nero replied. “We’re strong, but we’re not an army. If we want the Familia to hold its ground, we’ll o arm others and teach them how to fight. These two could give us the infrastructure to do that.”

  Anthony leaned forward, tossing an e from hand to hand. “So, they’re like tech support for our firepower. I like it. We’re long overdue frades.”

  “Tech support sounds like an insult,” Maria said, tilting her head as she idly pyed with a strand of her hair. “But I’m guessing they’re more than that if you’re this excited about them.”

  “Gianni’s expertise is more explosive,” Nero expined. “He’s creative, resourceful, and damn good at designing ons. Spanner, oher hand, leans toward meics. He’s an engineering genius who could put together robots or bat enhas without breaking a sweat.”

  Diego grinned. “Okay, now I’m ied. Do we get giant mech suits, or is that too much to ask?”

  Sofia smirked. “Why would you need one? You’d probably get distracted by your refle in the visor.”

  “First of all,” Diego said, holding up a finger, “I’d look fantasti a mech suit. Sed—”

  “Sed,” Sofia cut in, “you’d trip over yourself trying to pose. Leave the serious gadgets to me.”

  “Children,” Maria interjected, raising a hand zily, “please. Let Nero finish.”

  Nero rolled his eyes but tinued. “Gianni and Spanner are more than just gearheads. They uand Fmes in ways most people don’t. If we’re serious about expanding our arsenal—and our reach—they’re exactly who we need.”

  Donald g the list again. “And the Chakram of Light? Is that a on, or am I misuanding?”

  Nered. “on. Circur bdes, versatile in bat. It’s nothing fshy pared to what Gianni or Spanner might build, but it’s useful. I figure we could give it to whoever fits it best.”

  Anthony nodded. “Alright, sounds like they’re worth the effort. But what about the Dragon Shout thing? ‘Fus Ro Dah’? That sounds… theatrical.”

  “It’s from a world ons and a power,” Nero expined briefly. “It’s a voice-based ability. Think of it as a cussive bst that knock baemies or cause destru. Simple, but effective.”

  Diego leaned forward, resting his elbows on the ter. “So, you’re saying if someos on my nerves, I just shout them into week?”

  “Assuming you hahe power,” Nero said. “It’s not as easy as yelling. It’s an art.”

  “You hear that, Sofia?” Diego grinned. “I finally shut you up with the power of my voice.”

  Sofia didn’t look up from her gadget. “Oh, sweetie, I’d love to see you try.”

  urned from the window, his voice calm. “And the st one on the list—‘Energy eling.’ What we expect there?”

  apped the table. “That one’s simpler. It lets the user redirect physical energy into trolled explosive bursts. Could work in hand-to-hand bat, maybe even augment ons. Nothing groundbreaking, but it has its uses.”

  Maria stretched her arms, leaning further into Nero’s side. “So, we’ve got a wizard, two engineers, and some oys. What’s the pn?”

  “We bring them in,” Nero said simply. “Snape first—he’s going to need some expnation about how this world works. Gianni and Spanner will follow. Their expertise is too important to ignore.”

  Without waiting any further, Nero waved his hand. Three cards materialized in his palm, each glowing faintly as the Familia’s attention fixed on them. Holding them between his fingers, Nero pinched slightly, and the cards dissolved into motes of light. Slowly, the glowing fragments coalesced into three silhouettes, their forms sharpening as the light faded.

  The first figure stepped forward, his dark robes swirling slightly with his movements. His expression was sharp, calg, though there was an air of trolled disdain that bordered on habitual. He adjusted his bck cloak, the polished silver fastenings catg the room's light.

  Severus Snape gnced around briefly, his gaze cool and assessing. “It seems I’ve been summoned,” he said, his tone clipped but with a hint of curiosity. “This is not Hogwarts, I take it?”

  “Far from it,” Nero replied simply, his voice casual. “You’ve joined my Familia now. We’ll fill iails as we go.”

  Snape’s dark eyes narrowed slightly, but he said nothing further, his attention shifting to the other two figures emerging from the dissipating light.

  The sed figure—a man with wild, dark hair and a grease-streaked jumpsuit—cracked his neck with a satisfied sigh. His goggles, slightly scuffed, sat pushed up on his forehead. Spanner adjusted the cuffs of his sleeves, already gng around the room like it was a new mae waiting to be dismantled.

  Spanner whistled as he looked around the base, then closed his eyes briefly, processing the flood of information from the Familia system. “Oh, Tony Stark guy is pretty smart. To think he build something like that.”

  “Stark?” Sofia turowards him, “He’s overrated. I saw some of his designs when we crossed paths. All show, no substance. You wouldn’t believe the inefficies.”

  Spanner smirked. “Guess he didn’t have you to fiune his toys. A shame, really.”

  Sofia rolled her eyes. “Fttery won’t get you far, grease monkey.”

  Anthony got up from his reer, crossing the room in a few steps to where Sofia was standing. Without saying a word, he slipped his arms around her waist, pulling her close. His head rested lightly against her shoulder for a sed as he spoke, his voice just loud enough for everyoo hear. “Let’s see the third guy.” He oward the st glowing fragments of light h in the room.

  Sofia gave him a sidelong gnce, raising an eyebrow as she tinued adjusting the pos in her hand. “Jealous already?” she asked dryly.

  Anthony grinned, not letting go. “Just setting the record straight.” He tilted his head toward Spanner. “And grease monkey over there should know Sofia’s not avaible.”

  Spanner raised both hands in mock surrehe ers of his mouth twitg upward. “Hey, no pints here. I just got here, and I’m already in the middle of a lovers’ spat. Great first impression.”

  Diego snorted from the ter, “You’ll get used to it. The drama never ends with these two.”

  Maria, still led fortably against Nero on the couch, smirked. “Oh, please. You’re oo talk, Diego. Who was it that spent three hours flirting with an Asgardian God st week?”

  Dieged, sipping his drink. “He was very strong. And geous. Multitasking is an art, Maria.”

  Nero’s voice cut through the banter, light but with a hint of authority. “Focus. The st summon is ing through.”

  All eyes turoward the remaining motes of light as they began to coalesto a form. Slowly, the outline of a man took shape—a lean figure dressed in a crisp bck suit with sharp pels. His hair was dark, ly styled, and his expression was unreadable but undeniably fident. As the light dissipated, the man adjusted his tie with a quick, practiced motion and gnced around the room.

  “I take it I’m not in Italy anymore,” the man said, his voice smooth and level, with a faint at that hi his ins.

  Nero stood, Maria shifting slightly to let him move. “Wele to the Familia,” he said, greeting the three.

  The trio nodded in unison, their expressions steady as they each dropped to one knee before Nero. “Greetings, Boss,” Severus Snape said, his voice smooth and deliberate. The title rolled off his toh a hint of curiosity, but there was ation.

  “Capo,” Gianni added, his tone casual but respectful, one haing on his knee while the other adjusted his goggles.

  Spailted his head slightly, the fai of smirks tugging at his lips. “Capo,” he echoed, his gaze sweeping briefly over the group before fog ba Nero.

  “Alright, none of that,” Nero said, his voice carrying amusement and authority. “You’re part of the Familia now. Let’s keep things simple.”

  The trio rose to their feet at Nero’s gesture, blending into the group with ease. Snape, however, remained slightly apart. Nero saw Severus Snape draw his wand, testing a few spells. A flick of his wrist jured a glowing orb of light, and another sent it spiraling into a er where it fizzled out harmlessly. He muttered something under his breath, likely an intation, before nodding to himself in apparent relief.

  Satisfied, Surned slightly toward Nero. “It seems magic is irely absent here. That’s fortunate.”

  “Good to hear,” Nero replied. “Let me know if you need anything specific. I imagiions will be on your list.”

  Snape’s eyes narrowed slightly, his toral. “Always.”
