FAN ART FRIDAY: ALL THE WARRIORS, Part 2

And to think I was planning to fit all of the OCs into one week...yeah, not happening. With 50+ entries and counting, I’ll be lucky to fit them all into four parts.

Welcome back to Part 2 of “All The Warriors”, a multi-week showcase of the Katana ZERO community’s awesome fan characters! The volume of submissions for this event has been mind-blowing, to the point where I’ve had to create a dedicated Excel spreadsheet to keep track of them all. If you haven’t submitted your character yet, there’s still one week left! If you have, rest assured that it’ll will be included eventually, so please be patient! 

For those who missed it, don’t forget to check out Part 1 of this series.

[WARNING: The work herein is based on fan creations, and should not be considered canon.]

Alpha 13, “Believer” by @DokusatsuMurXer

What is the loneliest number? ‘One’, you say? Nope, it’s 13...Alpha 13, that is.

Being one of the first Alpha-series NULL, it’s likely that Thirteen joined purely out of adoration for the illusive “Great Scientist”—a noble cause compared to the violent psychosis that defined the later Gamma-series NULL. While it’s clear he’s taken lives in service of his one-sided infatuation, it’s hard not to see him as another victim, still pining for his senpai’s attention even after everyone’s graduated and moved away years ago. Why do we always love the one who will hurt us the most? 

According to @DokusatsuMurXer’s, the drunken swirls in his Post-war portrait are hiding something much steamier. I can only imagine.

Please, senpai. By @DokusatsuMurXer

Beta 6, “Blade” by @Khwany_kawawii

In the Third District, there’s only two ways to get what you need: by coercion, or by force. Beta 6 opts for both, and seems to have a reputation on par with The Dragon amongst hapless goons. Ironically, it seems amnesiac NULL like Blade or Zero are the ones who kept going on killing sprees after the war, instead of throwing in with criminal syndicates or settling into an ordinary day job.

Her giant curtain of hair, while a bit ridiculous-looking standing still, would certainly add a sense of dynamism as she flipped and pirouetted in midair, tossing knives left and right. Also, knives.

“With no drugs, I will die. But with the drugs...I am the Killing Angel.” By @Khwany_kawawii

Ema by @Khwany_kawawii

Well, would you look at that. Not only is Ema our first non-NULL OC, but also the first...*drum roll*...Cromag! That’s right—as a child, Ema barely survived a NULL attack that killed her family, and she’s dedicated her life to finding whoever was responsible ever since. 

The concept of a private eye in Katana ZERO’s neo-noir metropolis, especially one who suffers from such intense trauma and racial discrimination, has fantastic plot potential. What if she finds the NULL who orphaned her, but they don’t remember it? What if they have to team up? I can’t help but wonder how long an average woman (bionic arm aside) could survive in this dark underbelly of drugged-up super-soldiers...

—

Gamma 4 by @camellia_066

Not every hero dies on a battlefield.

Being a commander means taking responsibility for those under your command. For some that extends beyond wartime, and especially so after the one-way process of becoming NULL; while an Alpha could skip doses of Chronos with nothing more than a nosebleed, a Gamma might require twice the dosage just to stay lucid. 

Maybe the weight of New Mecca’s defeat was too much for him to bear. Maybe he knew that a cure for Chronos was a pipedream. But it was better to die for the slim chance of salvation than witness his former comrades slaughter one another for just another dose. 

—

Gamma 12 by @wqwrppwu

So this is who’s been stealing my Uber Eats.

The idea of a Gamma-level NULL—especially one as devious-looking as Gamma 12—working as a pizza guy is hilarious to me. I have a soft spot for features like thin noses, wild eyes, and razor teeth that just scream “bad guy, stay away”. Most other NULL would just kill the cashier and take what they want, but Twelve uses his powers to steal booze and cigarettes and get away with it, every time. 

It makes sense that he’d be best friends with Alpha 25, “Pomidor” (see Part 1)  thanks to their mutual eccentricity and love of mayhem.

Gamma 5 by twink-182

Beta 6 had better be a wizard to claim the nickname “Blade”, given how many Gamma-level knife experts roam the city’s underbelly. Once part of Fifteen’s circle of former NULL, Gamma 5 evidently saw the writing on the wall and decided to leave before his comrade’s vendetta drew him deeper into danger. Otherwise, who knows, we might have had a quick, teleporting knife-thrower heckling us throughout the Headhunter boss fight...yeah, maybe it’s for the best that he’s M.I.A.

I’m guessing the photo and red string is just another point on Fifteen’s byzantine conspiracy board; I hope we get to see the whole thing one day.

Alpha 4 by @kym0433

As with any conflict, the end of Cromag War produced massive windfalls for organized crime in terms of illegal weapons, war drugs, and super-soldiers thirsty for Chronos. Luckily for Alpha 4, the Chinese had carved out their own niche in New Mecca’s Chinatown, and they offered him a steady supply of "ke le nuo si”, as they called it, plus a cushy job as a bodyguard; after all, who would dare to start trouble on their turf? Who, but a certain samurai who walked up to the roulette table one day...

While Ted might not be the strongest NULL, he leads the pack in terms of fashion. No musty olive fatigues for this killer—whether it’s a traditional patterned chengshan or tasseled shawl, Ted makes it look awesome. No one would even suspect he’s hiding weapons under there!

Beta 24, “Cecil” by @Tacoyaki86

Contrary to popular belief, the inability to feel pain is not a superpower, especially when paired with a military specialization as hazardous as demolitions and bomb disposal. Imagine not realizing your hands got blown off until you reached for a sip of coffee. That, and you’d be stone deaf from constant close-range explosions and minigun fire.

Knowing that, I can understand Beta 24′s desire to spend a quiet veterancy at a manga café, where the otaku don’t want to chat anyway and the biggest risks are coffee burns and paper cuts. 

Also, is that chevron on his beret the same as Headhunter’s? That must indicate rank, or possibly explosives experts. Given Headhunter’s propensity for sticky mines and suicide vests, I’d believe it.

Gamma 767, “Retana” by @TailWood

Given how many NULL prefer close-range weapons like knives, swords, and bludgeons, having to fire artillery from kilometers away must seem like a crushing indignity for a Gamma like 767: slowing time just means it takes longer for his rockets to hit their targets, and he can’t even collect any trophies to show off to the guys at the bar once they’re off-duty! But hey, someone’s got to do it; I don’t think even the sharpest steel would do much against a tank...

By @TailWood

—

Gamma 9, “Nara” by @couriervictor

Sadism and sharp objects don’t pair well together. It was never explained why Headhunter chose to wear her old uniform everywhere, but in Gamma 9′s case it’s pretty clear: he’s an elite, and he wants you to know it. Lack of physical strength doesn’t matter, since everyone in Katana ZERO died in one hit anyway, and his affinity for throwing knives reminds me of Biker’s levels from Hotline Miami. More knives.

—

Alpha 35, “Sako” by @matsumatsu_kou

For a Gamma NULL, overcoming a debilitating wound is as simple as using their powers to ‘reset’ and try again until they can win the battle without a single scratch. Sadly, that wasn’t an option for their lesser Alpha brethren, as evidenced by Alpha 35. 

There have been known cases of NULL choosing to retain scars and other superficial injuries as badges of honor, but if there’s a reason why Sako chooses to fight with a blind eye and busted arm, it’s beyond me. However, if Proto-15 is anything to go by, battle damage is a huge plus for you ferals out there, and it gives him an extra place to store those KNIVES. *snickt*

Beta 74 by @cheezysucks

“Take everything from a man but his weapon, and do not judge him thereafter.”

Even in the far-flung future of New Mecca, it seems PTSD still haunts soldiers returning from conflict, even those as exceptional as NULL—if a near-death experience is harrowing, imagine the trauma of countless actual deaths, each instance being dragged backwards in time to start over.

Still, as far as ex-NULL go, Beta 74 chose as honest a job as his ilk can manage, given their stigma abroad. And oh, wow, is he wearing a pair of those funky four-eyed night-vision goggles? Look them up, they’re real, and just as absurd-looking.

Gamma 5, “Heatseeker” by 6at

Pour one out for another fallen warrior, Gamma 5 (yes, I know there was already a Gamma 5 earlier, won’t be the last time this happens). Five seems more like a tactical fire commander than your average NULL, with actual combat armor and a bubble helmet seemingly inspired by early concept versions of Headhunter’s gear, replete with a digitized HUD; pretty slick-looking, I must say.

Knowing how far far New Mecca went to cover up the NULL program, I’m surprised they let Five live as long as they did, though his hermetic lifestyle likely made him a minimal risk. I’m guessing he was terminated around the same time the government halted the production of Chronos. Coincidence? 

Seems like ‘Heatseeker’ attracted a bit too much heat, heh heh.

Apologies: An August Booth Fic

For my beautiful wife @iamnotthrowingawaymyship, who shares the headcanon that both August and Emma have PTSD.

I wouldn't call this fic necessarily anti-Marco, but I feel that this is how he feels over the whole situation. There's no happy ending here, just a lot of reality. Mentions of past child abuse and current PTSD take place here.

Also on AO3

But he says it's crazy how love stays with me, yeah

You know and it hurts me 'cause I don't wanna fight this war And it's amazing to see me reading through this scene of love and fear And apologies, apologies-Grace Potter

 August sat in the back of Granny’s, stirring the milk into his coffee as he did his best to hide from everyone else. If he had one more person ask how he was holding up since being turned back into a man, he was going to lose it. It was weird, really weird. He could remember the past year of being a boy, all of the fun he had with his papa, though he had no clue of the old life he had lived. To be honest, he was glad to be back to the person he was before. Maybe that man was broken, but he was his own person, raw and real. All of the pain in his life had made him into the man he was. Maybe that wasn’t the best person in the world and he did have regrets (sending Emma to jail, lying to Rumpelstiltskin about being Baelfire), but all of that made him August Wayne Booth and not Pinocchio. He didn’t want to be Pinocchio anymore.

 His father was less than okay with it and he could understand why. After the curse broke, he got his second chance at raising his son, at being there for him. Yet, there was a part of August who felt that Marco didn’t deserve that. He loved his father, so much. He just didn’t think it was fair that he had gotten a second chance after all of his deception, while Emma and her parents had to struggle to build a normal parent/child relationship. Why did he get his shot at having a happy, normal childhood, when Emma never would? He knew she’d never choose to do things over, especially since she had her son, it just wasn’t fair.

 The jukebox switched up and a familiar song began to play, one that froze August in his spot. How Soon Is Now’s opening lyrics swarmed through the speakers and brought him back to the foster home he was placed in after he and the other young boys were caught on the run.

 I am the son And the heir Of a shyness that is criminally vulgar I am the son and heir Of nothing in particular

 The song played on the radio as the football August was throwing smashed into the vase.

 “Booth!” His foster father screamed. “What have I told you about throwing that damn thing in the house?”

“I…I’m sorry,” he stammered out. “It’s raining and I was bored…”

“You’re going to be sorry.”

 The man ripped off his belt and it collided with August’s face, not once, not twice but three times in quick succession.

 August slammed his hands over his ears, finding it hard to breathe.

 “Stop!” He cried out.

“I’ll stop when I’m damn good and ready, boy! Now pull down your pants!”

 At the counter, one of the waitresses slammed down a drink for a customer, a little too loudly and it caused tears to fall down August’s face. He could practically feel himself being pushed up against the wall.

 The song was suddenly cut off and changed to something different, but August was already far away, his mind spinning. He felt a hand go on his shoulder and jerked away, about to fight back whoever it was, until he saw those familiar green eyes.

“Breathe, August,” Emma instructed. “Just breathe.”

 She demonstrated on her own and it took a minute, but soon he was following. Eventually, he was brought back to where he was. He wasn’t in that terrible foster home in New York, he was in Storybrooke, Maine. Granny’s Diner. In front of him wasn’t Cecil Morgan, but Emma Swan, his best friend.

 “I…I have to go,” he mumbled.

 Tossing down some money for his coffee, he stormed out the door with Emma following close behind. He leaned up against the building, still trying to remember how to breathe.

 “It’s okay,” Emma assured him. “I have panic attacks a lot.”

“I thought they were over,” he mumbled. “I control my triggers, I didn’t even know the Smiths were on that damn jukebox.”

“Storybrooke is still stuck in the 80s in some ways,” she said with a frown. “Bad foster home?”

“The dad was a huge fan, blasted it all the time. Especially to cover up our screams.”

“For me it’s AC/DC. My old foster mom’s favorite band, especially when she was getting drunk.”

He ran his hand over his face. “For a year, it didn’t bother me…”

“Because you didn’t have your memories.”

“I thought I was happy to be back to my old self, scars and all…”

“Except it meant your PTSD coming back.”

 Not too many people knew about August’s PTSD. He had been diagnosed at 19, after a breakdown on a trip to London, England. Emma only knew because he had one breakdown in front of her during the curse and she opened up to him, saying she had been diagnosed during her stint in prison. It was their own little secret, though now her parents and Archie knew about hers.

 “I wish it could all just go away, I don’t want to remember those things. I want the happy times, the traveling…”

“You have to take the good with the bad.” She paused for a moment. “Have you…have you talked to your father or Archie about this?”

“No. Papa’s going through a hard enough time with me changing back. The last thing he needs is to know that his son is broken.”

“You’re not broken, Auggie.” Emma put a hand on his shoulder. “Just…a bit chipped.”

He couldn’t help but laugh at that. “I think you’ve been spending a little too much time with Belle.”

“Maybe. Just think about it, okay?”

“Okay.”

 August reflected on what Emma said and knew that he needed to get back into therapy, so he did open up to Archie. It was good to get back to talking to someone about it, to get back on his medication for it. His panic attacks were lessening and Emma talked with Granny to remove the Smiths from the jukebox at the diner.

 Things were good…until Marco found his medication.

 He was coming home from another date with Tink, when he found his father sitting at the table. With Sidney gone, August had taken over the Storybrooke Chronicle and they had been able to move into a nicer house. Archie lived with them as well and chipped in on the rent, so it was far nicer than anywhere any of them had lived.

 “Hey Papa,” he said, throwing his jacket up on the hook. “What’s going on?” Marco simply held up the orange prescription bottle, causing August to freeze in his place. “Where did you find that?”

“Your bathroom, I was out of toothpaste so I was going to borrow yours.” He rose to his feet, walking closer to him. “I had Blue help me use the computer, apparently this is medication for PTSD.”

“It is.” August took the bottle and stuck it into his pocket.

“Since when do you have that?”

“I got diagnosed when I was 19. I never had a chance to tell you, because well…when we reconnected, I got turned back into a boy.”

“I don’t understand. I looked into this condition and it’s for people who have been through severe trauma.” He raised an eyebrow. “What trauma could you have gone through?”

 The comment alone made August’s blood boil. He knew his father meant well, but sometimes…he could be a bit daft. Snow and David hated to admit it, but they at least acknowledged that their daughter had been through terrible things throughout their childhood. David’s whole reason for wanting to go back to the Enchanted Forest had been because of how cruel the world had been to her. Marco knew all of what Emma had been through…could he really not connect the dots and realize so had his son?

 “Maybe because when I was 7 years old, you put me in a wardrobe and sent me off to protect a baby,” August whispered. His voice isn’t laced with anger, just honesty.

Marco paused. “But…it was for your own good. I didn’t know what the curse would do to you.”

“I was 7!” He exploded. “7 years old! Do you know what it was like? To show up in some strange land, with a crying newborn? I had no clue what to do, where to go! Finally, we were found but trust me, foster care is no picnic. I ran away, only to be caught and brought to even worse homes throughout my entire life!”

 He rolled up his shirt to reveal a scar that hung above his belly button. Marco’s eyes widened in shock.

 “This was from when I got beat with a rusty hanger,” he said. “It ended up getting infected and I got sick, really sick. I was in the hospital for 2 weeks and when I got out, I was put in a new foster home that wasn’t much better. Finally, I got away for good when I was 15, but the damage was already done. I have PTSD, Papa, because my entire childhood was a mess.”

Tears filled Marco’s eyes. “But you…you got a second chance…”

“I did. And it was amazing.” He reflected on the year he had as a child. “I got to be a kid, go to school, have fun. But as soon as I got turned back into a man, all of those old memories hit me like a brick. It didn’t replace the childhood I already had.”

A single tear fell down Marco’s face. “I thought I was doing what was best for you.”

“How was it best for me, to send me to a strange land, alone and taking care of an infant? You knew Snow wasn’t going through, you knew I’d be alone!” August’s voice broke. “You thought about yourself, you didn’t really think about me!”

“That’s not true! I wanted you to be safe! How was I supposed to know…” He shook his head. “This hasn’t been easy for me either. I got you back, my sweet boy, only to…to lose you again!”

“You didn’t lose me, Papa! I’m right here! I know I’m not that little boy that you stuffed into the wardrobe, but I’m still your son!”

 There was a silence between the two men as tears fell down their face and they breathed heavily. August looked deep into his father’s eyes, seeing his own pain for the first time. He couldn’t imagine what it was like to lose a child in the way he had, yet he still had him. If Emma could be good enough for Snow and David, even as an adult, couldn’t he be enough for his father?

“I’m still mourning the little boy I lost,” Marco said, finally. “I’m sorry, August. I love you. You’re right, you are my son. I just…I need some time to get over the fact that my little boy isn’t coming back.”

 So, I’m not your little boy anymore? I’m sorry I grew up! I’m sorry I wasn’t cursed like you were. I’m sorry…

 They were all words at the tip of his tongue, but he stopped himself. He didn’t want to apologize anymore, not for things that weren’t his fault. Therapy had taught him that much.

 “I guess I’ll go stay with Tink for a while then.” He grabbed his keys off the rack and pulled his jacket back on. “Don’t worry, I’ll still pay the rent on this place.”

 Heading out the door and slamming it behind him, he stormed to his motorcycle and sat on it for a while. He waited 5 minutes for Marco to chase out after him, but it never happened. He let out a shaky breath as he turned the keys in the ignition and headed off, his father’s words still radiating in his brain.

 “My little boy isn’t coming back.”

 I’m right here.

 But maybe…he wasn’t anyone’s little boy anymore. Maybe there’s a chance that he never was.

The Flash - S6 E11 - Love is a Battlefield

It's kind of a shame that for all intents and purposes the multiverse "no longer exists" in the Arrowverse.  Iris getting sucked into a mirror would have been the perfect opportunity to a riff off the mirror universe concept.  Which I know they've done, but that doesn't mean they couldn't have done something fun with it, especially making Iris the central character experiencing it this time, instead of Barry.  Beats the hell out of the possessed/Stepford wife thing the preview for this episode hinted at. So "Iris" or whoever or whatever she's going to turn out to be, went out in the middle of the night, on her way home from breaking into Mcculloch and... bought a high end juicer?  Why? Oh yeah, Barry and Iris have an actual Alexa and not some type of knock-off called something like, Amelia, is totally not a product placement.

Emerson Fairweather is absolutely the made-up name a serial killer would use online to stalk his next victim. Augh, first they randomly had Frost help Cecile with her imprinting her own emotions on to the emotions she was reading from other people; now she's helping Benadryl find true love.  So all this time and a crisis and they still have no idea what the fuck to do with Caitlin... This restaurant is in Central City, right?  Barry didn't super-speed them to Rome or anything?  So why the hell would this waiter casually start talking Italian to customers who are more than likely Englisher speakers, as if to assume they could possibly understand him? And if they are in Italy and I miss the mention that that's where they were going; then why the hell was Barry surprised that the waiter spoke Italian? This is all contrived to make Iris act suspicious and it's dumb. What the fuck is Barry doing?  It's bad enough that he just sits there as a known criminal makes a threat to kill everyone in the restaurant, let alone attack whoever she was there to find, but then he tries to arrest her as himself?  Does she know he's the Flash?  I can't remember which of his rogues have learned his identity at this point, never mind what sort of retcons they can pick and choose to make post-Crisis.   And if he was concerned about people seeing him, surely he could, I don't know, duck under the table before doing a quick lap or two around the room to obscure where exactly he came from; or something. Okay, she does know.  He's still faster than the speed of sound, he could have her restrained and out the door before anyone would hear a peep; and could have done so before she'd even noticed him, let alone anyone else in the restaurant.  Why engage her at all, since presumably he already knew that she knew?  And how do you not come up with a contingency to deal with that knowledge rather than giving a super-villain leverage on you? Oh, poor Claritin has a broken heart.  You know, it is Valentine's Day and you and Frost are on your own; and Frost is on this kick about trying new experiences.....  🤷‍♂️ We're all in agreement that Barry and Iris are probably into some kinky stuff, right?

Kind of makes you wonder if Barry was actually asking for a "banana" for breakfast.... And just like that, the bar tender sells out a dangerous meta, all because some woman comes in and flattens his bouncer. I'm really starting to think that Grant's going to be ready to leave the series within the next year or two tops.  Maybe I'm wrong, but between this episode and the last especially, they seem to be going out of their way so that Barry doesn't have to suit up; and I'm pretty sure this isn't new either  Maybe I'm reading too much into it, I very well could be, but Stephen kind of got the same way the last couple of seasons of Arrow, where they seemed to pull back on Oliver being Oliver, where he wasn't suiting up as often and just sort of less physically invested.  And that's not necessarily a criticism; Stephen played Oliver for nearly 8 years, Grant is around 6, especially if you start his count with his first appearance on Arrow, even it'd be the better part of a year before he got into the nuts and bolts of the physical demands of playing "The Flash".  That has to be exhausting.  And it's not like the writers are offering much in the way of acting challenges to entice them. Oh, fuck you; a meta-war are vinyl records? Good thing whatever was inside the case was radioactive.  I mean, it might stand to reason that someone wouldn't take a case of radioactive compounds with them to a restaurant, but then why would you take a case with advanced tech or whatever the fuck it is to a restaurant? Jesus, they're not even trying anymore; why is Barry out breath running around the city? Once again, how was anything left behind by a previous Wells from an alternate universe in a timeline/reality/whatever where none of that every, every, ever existed? "There's an awful lot of gold in there Flash..." But is there?  Just because it's gold color, doesn't make it actual gold.  Considering how often the suit gets damaged or replaced, it's probably more cost effective if it wasn't really gold. And now Barry can apparently fire lightning/fire/whatever from his fucking finger tips....
