I start sorting out the Gachas by sending the Stealth Tech to Lex to sort out as he sees fit. I also made sure to let Lex know I would be summoning a new scientist for his work. Once he confirmed he was ready to receive the summon I had Dr. Claw summoned to our shipyards over Olympus. Next, I teleported to Tex and asked him where he would like me to drop off the metals I obtained and he had me place them on the Aura's Revenge for safekeeping. While I was with him I had also delivered the Venators and had him decide what we were going to do with them. I then summoned Krypto.
Krypto: "Bark."
Rio: "Well hello, my name is Rio and I am your new owner. I have a nice room for you to live in. Sebas will show you there."
As Sebas takes Krypto I move to Sanctuary. Once there I summon Sendak The Elder.
Sendak: "Ah so you are the summoner?"
What stands before me is a red-skinned Centaur with a grey mane and beard. He also has black horns on the side of his head.

Rio: "Yes, I have summoned you. My name is Rio. I hope to learn much from you."
Sendak stokes his beard while circling me.
Sendak: "Hmm, yes I suppose I can work with this. Though this isn't your natural form, is it."
Rio: "No, it isn't. I am impressed you could tell."
Sendak: "I have been around long enough to know when I see a transformation. I can also tell it is a natural transformation but still not your true form. Would you so kindly show me what you really look like?"
Rio: "Sure."
I transform into the Alicorn form and I can see surprise in his eyes.
Sendak: "Oh my, I had no idea I was in the presence of royalty. I am honored to be a teacher to you your highness."
Rio: "I may be royalty but you don't need honorifics for me. I am your student therefore you are my master."
Sendak: "Humble, good. Humble students go further than those who are drowning in arrogance or rely on their titles to get by in life. Now when will we begin training."
Rio: "Tomorrow, I won't be able to train constantly as I have other masters as well as I have something to do in a few days."
Sendak: "Very well I will be here. Lovely place this is. Much better than I have had the honor of visiting. I assume this is a separate dimension."
Rio: "Yes it is. If you need me to add anything let me know and I can change it. I am the owner of this dimension."
Sendak: "Very well, now go you have other things to do."
I leave Sendak and head to the Hearth for the next summons. Once I arrive I summon Noble Team. Once the light fades the Spartans immediately salute me.
Rio: "At ease Commander."
Carter: "Thank you for saving my team, sir. What mission do you have for us?"
Rio: "For now you will learn about this planet and its threats. I also need your assistance training prospective Spartans. Once these new Spartans are ready I will have you assist in the thing most of you just finished doing. Fighting the Covenant. These datapads contain everything you will need to know. If you have more questions you can ask me or any of the other more senior summons and they will likely be able to help you. I will have you training the Spartans alongside Commander Rex an experienced soldier of several Galactic Wars. Any questions."
Noble team looked around and when no one had a question they let me know.
Rio: "Okay then if you need me you can use those datapads to contact me."
I left and went to the habitable planet we were using as bait for the Covenant. I then summon the 501st Legion. Once the light fades I see 15532 Clones all in formation before me with all the heavy vehicles behind them. Rex salutes me.
Rio: "At ease Commander."
Rex: "General it's an honor to be summoned by you. Now who is our enemy?"
Rio: "For now nothing yet. An enemy will be attacking this system in several months. Besides that, I want you and whoever else you want to bring to help train some future Spartans. Spartans are super soldiers of excellent capabilities. I also have 5 Venators, I was planning on having your men command."
Rex: "I can do the training easily enough. Though we don't have nearly enough men to man all 5 Venators."
Rio: "I know that's why I have 2 options for you and your men. The first is I have you and your men fully man 2 Venators. The second option is we split the 501st over the 5 Ventors and have droids assist in manning the ships. The second comes with the advantage of ensuring there are enough escape pods for all the men aboard while the droids remain behind. I know you and your men most likely don't love the idea of working with droids but most of my forces are Battle Droids."
Rex: "I will discuss it with my men. That being said I don't think many will be all that upset about working with droids as most of us know that the droids weren't the problem the Seps were. Though won't it be better to fight on the ground rather than in space?"
Rio: "Droids are expendable for the most part. Clones aren't. I can build a new B1 in a few minutes a Clone would take 9 years and then some. Moreover, we intend on losing 3-4 of the FOBs meaning it would be suicide to send your men to defend positions we expect to lose. Also, your men will need time to train on the new equipment and adjust to a new universe. So for now I intend on them being the backline and maybe flying some starfighters. The key word is maybe."
Rex smiles at my statement.
Rex: "Thank you, sir. I will make sure to let the men know. Also, when will you need me to start the training."
Rio: "A few weeks from now when the candidates are brought in for pre-operation training. You will be working alongside some experienced Spartans to help assist in the training."
I left Rex to organize his troops and went to my mansion. I decided to summon Snake first.
'System use a background customizer and summon Snake.'
I set his name as David Johnson. He is an only child to a single father who recently passed. The Techno Union currently employs him as a security consultant. He owns a home in New York City. His net worth is 100k.
Rio: "Hello David, my name is Rio. It's nice to meet you. I saw you as an inspiration when I was younger. I hope we get along."
Snake: "Nice to meet you, Rio. Do you have a mission for me?"
Rio: "Not now but possible soon. I know you will need time to understand this world. Here take this datapad. It contains all you will need to know. I will also assist you in the mission I have planned for you as I imagine you will need more info to complete this mission. But for now, just get settled."
Snake: "Will do thanks for summoning me."
As Snake goes to a nearby room I get ready to summon the next one. I decide to summon Mr. Freeze.
'I will have his full name be Victor Fries. He is a very accomplished scientist specializing in cryogenics. He is an orphan who was funded through college by LexCorp and now works for them in their healthcare division. He lives at LexCorp. His net worth is 100k.'
Victor: "Hello, I assume you are my summoner."
Rio: "Yes, and I assume you want your wife summoned as well."
Victor: "Do so and I will serve you for eternity. While my body doesn't require the cold to survive my unaging is still the same. I only want to save her life."
Rio: "Very well I can do so right now."
Victor's eyes light up as I tell him so. I simply buy and summon Nora Fries set her as his wife and make her a fellow scientist as LexCorp. I have to do very little to make it work and when she appears I make sure she is healed then leave the 2 lovebirds to a bedroom to talk. Once I leave them with the datapad with all the info they need to know I move back to another room to summon Simon.
'I will have his full name be Simon Grof Petrikov. He will be a historian of a more obscure renown. He is an only child to a mother who passed away a year ago. With his inheritance, he went to university and got his master's degree in history in 3 years. From there he has been a historian working at the American Museum of Natural History and living in his small home just outside NYC. His net worth is 200k.'
Simon: "Oh my, I never would have imagined I would be summoned. This is most fascinating. I also seem to have new memories that are mine and yet not mine. Oh where are my manners I am Simon Pertrikov, though you can call me Simon."
Rio: "Nice to meet you Simon I am Rio."
Simon: "Yes, very nice to meet you. I can't thank you enough for curing me of that horrible curse and saving my life. Now I am curious what can I do to repay you."
Rio: "You're welcome and I only want 2 things. 1 is to go say hi to Marceline as I am sure she would be ecstatic to see you. The second is to learn magic and use it to defend Earth and my empire."
Simon: "Marcy is here? Oh, I have a lot I need to tell her. I also agree to learn magic and use it for your empire. Now where is Marcy?"
Rio: "Let me see"
I sent a message to Marceline to ask where she is. She answers and says in her bedroom at my mansion taking a break. I tell her to look decent as a guest is coming to see her. I then tap Simons's forehead and impart the way to Marceline's room.
Rio: "Now go see your adopted daughter."
Simon quickly walks and I prepare for the next summon. I buy 2 background customizers and use one.
'Her full name will be Samus Gray Aran. She will be an only child to Virginia and Rodney Aran. Her parents died peacefully in their sleep one night of unknown causes. Her family left her with a sizeable inheritance. She is currently unemployed. Her net worth is 700k.'
Rio: "Hello Smaus. My name is Rio. I hope we can work together well."
Samus: "Sure. What job do you need to be done?"
Rio: "Honestly, not much right now. I know without your Power Suit your capabilities are reduced greatly. I hesitate to send you into a dangerous situation with the limited protection your skin-tight suit provides. For now, get used to this world and get a job I guess. If you have anything you need let me know. Oh and before I forget take this datapad it has everything you could need to know about the current situation my empire is in."
Samus: "Okay."
I leave Samus and go to a secluded place in Sanctuary. Once there I get my Ocarina ready before using my last Background Customizer.
'Her full name will be Kaede Nyu Lucy. She was an orphan who grew up in a nice and peaceful orphanage where she left at 18 to live on her own. Her biological parents died shortly after Kaede was born leaving a large amount of wealth behind for her when she came of age. I hired her as a live-in cook. Her net worth is 2 million USD.'
Once she is summoned I can see her panicking so I start playing Lugia's Song. Once she hears the song she calms down and comes closer to me. She looks at me with sad yet peaceful eyes. Once the song is finished I play the Song Of Healing in the hope of helping her hurt soul. It seems to work as she falls asleep next to me. As she is sleeping I transform into my Alicorn form and wrap a wing around her. I figure having an animal-like creature to sleep next to will comfort her. I decide to read the Book Of Spells while she sleeps.

Thanks to C_Meta_Freedom for the suggestion on how I should deal with Lucy. Besides that, if anyone has recommendations as to what the summons could do then let me know. I hope you enjoyed the chpater and until next time Ciao.
