A/N: Hello! This may make absolutely no sense to some people, and you probably won't know all of the characters, but it does make sense eventually, I swear. It's really good, lotsa action, some epic romance, drama...it's got it all. Although, I myself personally refer to it as "the giant ass crossover of DOOM!"
Anyway, you'll see why shortly....

Prologue: And to think, it all started with a phone call....
----------------
It was a sunny June day in the castle in the clouds, home of the supreme ruler of the universe, who in that moment received a phone call that would change her life. Sighing, the young woman, who had been in the middle of getting dressed in a black Victorian dress, flipped open her small green cell.
"Hello?"
A monotonous female voice replied, static filled a bit hard to understand.
"Are you Her Majesty Akira Velvora, her royal majesty and Queen of the Universe, as well as former Princess of the Faerie Demon Clan?"
The phone nearly clattered to the ground, but she caught it after the second of shock. It was, of course, Kira, the twenty-eight year old Queen of the entire Universe, and basically the most damned girl in the world. She cleared her throat, sighed, then answered wearily.
"Yes, and may I ask who wants to know?"
"Your Majesty, I am calling on behalf of the Official Investigative Bureau of Astronomical Affairs, and we regret to inform you that you have been called upon to go through the most ultimate trial."
This time the phone really did fall, and Kira watched it as it skittered across the carpeted floor. A few seconds later, shaking off her surprise and horror, she picked it back up, and asked.
"What do you mean by this? I thought that trial was illegal, you guys said so yourselves!"
"Only if you're under Eighteen, Your Highness." The voice said. "Now that you are older, it is a perfectly viable way of trial."
"Of course it is." Kira sighed, trying to keep herself calm. "That's....fair."
"I know that this may be a difficult decision, your majesty, but...it is better than the other option. It's better to have this opportunity to save yourself than certain death. I mean, your Majesty, you'll even have your friends to help you; that's much better, if you beg my pardon."
"That's all a matter of opinion." Kira muttered grimly, leaning back onto her bed. "I'm assuming they're calling an official hearing?"
"In three days, Your Majesty. But you are still allowed under your contract to change, cancel, or reject the meeting or, indeed, the trial itself."
Kira just sighed, running a hand through her golden hair.
"No thanks. Let's just get this over and done with. But no one else is invited."
-------------------------------
At 12:21 p.m., the Imperial Judge Cynthia Goldhawk was about ready to just adjourn the court. It was a sunny June day, and it was damn hot in those castle courtrooms. Just as she raised her gavel to end, however, the young woman they had been waiting on burst into the room, breathing heavily and still dressed in a black Victorian era dress, and there was a black hat and veil clutched in her gloved hand.
"Please excuse my tardiness, your Imperialness." She said after a while, curtsying formally. "I....lost track of the time."
"Where were you, your Majesty?" The Judge said, having known Kira for a long enough time to sense the lie. Kira sighed, then, clearing her throat, replied.
"Paris, France."
"In our time, your Highness?"
Kira frowned, then sighed again.
"No, Ma'am. 1842."
Many in the room burst out into conversation at the statement, causing the judge to bang her gavel a few times.
"Order in the court! You may take a seat, your Majesty." She added to Kira, who gratefully flumped into the seat adjacent to the judge herself. Said judge cleared her throat and began. "This trial is pretty straightforward. The last one...alive, at the end wins ultimately the crown, as well as the rule of the Universe." She turned then to address Kira once more. "As the accused, her Royal Highness, Deline Akira Lynn Sohma Velvora, has the right to accept or decline the trial However, she must be well aware of what awaits her should she decline." Cynthia stared hard at the girl to her right. "Do you accept?"
Kira stared blankly for a moment before swallowing her fear and hesitation and proclaiming loudly.
"I accept."
