The War Champions, or War Champs, are a team of Warmongers. There are eight members of the team: War Diantha, War Cynthia, War Steven, War Wallace, War Leon, War Alder, War Lance, and War Geeta. After starting without a clear goal besides vague vengeful desires, War Diantha leads the group with the help of the mysterious Manager Musrak for her own gain. After falling out with each other and splitting up on two separate occasions, the group eventually comes together to take down a multiversal threat and learn the value of teamwork or something.
Story
The Team Gathers
Once defeated by the War Splats Karsum uses the last of his power to create new Warmonger powers which are given to 8 people in dire circumstances, because edginess enhances war powers. He then goes into hiding for a while.
After getting manipulated by her universe’s Cynthia she starts crying red tears and awakens her Warmonger powers, choosing the Warmonger life, obtaining red eyes in the process. She kills Looker in rage and then goes back inside Turnback Cave to cross into the multiverse to start recruiting people. War Diantha meets War Cynthia and decides to find the strongest versions of all Champions to form a squad.
But first she contacts Bertha from the fic from War Cynthia’s universe to be their squad manager.
War Cynthia first notices her powers after Diantha dies in the snowstorm after running away from the lodge North of Snowpoint City. She gets put in The Hunger Games with 47 other contestants and against the odds wins. Becomes an Ice Cream Drunk and is recruited, but War Diantha doesn’t seem to want to be around her. War Cynthia’s Warmonger powers allow her to manipulate liquids- particularly blood (only at close range and with the enhancement)- and freeze them. At some point she dyes part of her hair crimson for quirkiness.
After this, they visit a universe in which Steven has lost interest in Cynthia and has a crush on Wallace. All seems be going well for him until his father, Joseph Stone dislikes that Steven is Bi and secretly sends an assassin to kill Wallace. When learning of the upcoming coordinator’s death, he investigates and discovers that it was his own father 😱 so he accidentally uses his newfound Warmonger powers and it hurts his dad (possibly killing him but steven doesn’t find out if he died) before being recruited.
To console War Steven they go to a Wallace universe next and find themselves in the Distortion World. War Cynthia befriends the Giratina who can speak in quirky text and makes a pact with it ig. It helps them find Wallace who would die soon because that’s what happens to failed defusion attempts anyway he’s still fused with a Milotic so Warllace has amplified Milotic powers and he can trill and War Steven understands it somehow. Warllace lets War Steven ride him.
Next is War Leon, who came from a universe in which he was a fraud who used cheap battle strategies to defeat his opponents.
Then it’s War Alder his event was everyone hating on him in Lockdown and he’s physically strong (Warmonger skill is Enhanced Strength) and that’s the only reason why they keep him around. He keeps hitting on War Cynthia but she’s drunk and doesn’t care.
War Lance went through a great depression when accused of the table theft. He was honourable, however it left a great impact on him, as he couldn’t believe people thought he may have done it. When visiting the Dragon’s Den in Blackthorn City for guidance, he sees that it is burning down (Idk Clair’s fault she was salty or something about them failing her constantly). The only reason he escapes is through awakening his Draconic Warmonger powers in which he can become a Dragon for a certain period of time. Originally Lance gained the Warmonger power of time travel but it wasn't stable so he lost it after he used it for the first time. He went some years into the future when the Indigo League had fallen apart without him. (The time travel only affects the dimension it’s used in). He also becomes knowledgeable on weapons which is very useful for the rest of the War Champions. He takes everything very seriously but his powers are often mocked by some of the others. Loves blades and has a collection for use on stealthier non dragon missions.
Next they come across War Geeta in the Black Market when she saves them from Girida who was siced on them by Malva and Camera Guy, she seeks to avenge all of Paldea which was destroyed by a nuke with Geeta its only surviving inhabitant due to her Warmonger powers activating at the last second with which she protected herself. Her Warmonger powers include making spooky shields, according to her she sees and hears spirits of all the people killed by the nuke and uses them to strengthen her powers.
EXPLAIM MUSRAK HERE
New Management
They start a War Staryubucks for sidequests and additional income for their plans (War Diantha won’t tell them exactly what the plans are but they keep stealing research from various universes) Their goal is unknown to everyone except Manager Musrak and War Diantha. The stolen parts are actually so that War Diantha can build the True Ultimate Weapon which is capable of destroying parts of multiverses.
Bertha ends up a bad manager and after a while they demote to just Staryubucks manager, while Manager Musrak (mysterious dude) becomes the new manager after they gain his attention by completing their team.
Several missions to gain pieces of the True Ultimate Weapon ensue, including one kept by Ash.The War Champions go undercover as their regular selves to attempt to steal the piece as they can’t kill Ash- he’s Arceus’ ‘Chosen One’ in this Universe.
Another mission takes the form of them walking over grass at one point and War Diantha's like "huh this is pretty thematically inconsistent there's no grass anywhere else here" to which War Cynthia explains it's actually Lawn, the final form of Lucas and Dawn, and War Diantha’s like “Cynthia what the fuck are you talking about”
END NEEDED
The Dark Aether
Eventually the War Champions defeat Karsum they re-curse him back to the Dark Aether where he belongs. All about the True Ultimate Weapon plan is revealed, and the pieces are shattered as wd discards the plan. With Karsum sealed back into the Dark Aether, War Diantha who bonded with and sees good in him feels guilty for her actions and sneaks off to go there with him, leaving the other War Champions are conflicted on whether to rescue her. War Cynthia, War Alder, War Steven, Warllace attempt to rescue War Diantha, whereas the other three leave as they no longer care for the team.
