In a burning village on a world, the group was approaching it slowly.
"Uh...you sure we should be here?" Hope asked.
"Definitely. These are the coordinates of the world David wanted." Jexi said.
"Yeah...but...we didn't expect something like that." Rainbow said seeing the burning village and the dead inhabitants.
"Those of us who played the game already know how this happened." Scott said.
"Ah yes, ever the video game specialist." Robin said.
"I can never figure you out, Scott. Is your life like a video game or something, because you see the world like it sometimes." Rainbow said.
"Don't you think that was a bit harsh?" Scott asked.
"Its totally true, Scott." Hope said. "But uh… i wasn't gonna bring this up in front of you or Ramona, but it looks like seven of your old friends are still kicking."
"We know, we heard the reports. Matthew and Lucas have been sighted with those Emotionless...whatever those are." Ramona said.
"Yeah. And these Emotionless and the Hero Coalition aren't the only ones making waves." Jexi said showing an article of a recent string of thefts.
"The...Phantom Thieves? Never heard of em." Luffy said.
"They're a group of thieves that have been stealing from the Standard and Undead universes. They're already well known in those two. And theres a rumor...a majority of them use Personas." Tails said.
"Just like Yu and the others." Indigo said. "Hey, check out this guys name. He's the leader, but his name is… Jack?"
Hope had his attention to that name. "Jack? Could he be…?"
"Something on your mind, Hopey?" Gemini asked.
"You remember how i was part of the ginova family, and i had three sisters and two other brothers? Well, the name jack sort of relates to one of my little brothers. He was an amazing thief even when he was a kid. Heh… he even stole from me a hundred thousand times." Hope said.
"So you think your little bro is the leader of these Phantom Thieves?" Pinkie asked.
"It's possible. No...I'm sure its him. No one else could pull off such thefts." Hope said.
"It will only be a matter of time before he makes his way here." Erica said.
"If so, he might be so hot on his streak that he won't realize that stealing a single artifact here could disrupt the timeline." Lailah said.
"Not only that, but the inhabitants of this world will notice that we're not from this timeline, even if we take the necessary precautions." Tails said.
"We just need to make sure that we don't accidentally spoil anything." Colette said.
"Uh...quick question. Does landing in a nearby forest in a hurry count as disrupting the timeline?" Carrot asked.
"I don't think so. Why?" Tails said.
"That." Carrot said pointing to a large brown creature rising from the ground.
"Holy crap! Its a Titan!" Rainbow said.
"Loose jaw, big as a red wood, freaky insatiable appetite for humans… yup, thats a Titan." Sonic said.
"No, this is the Final Fantasy version of one. The ones that use earth spells...like Earthquake." Rainbow said.
"So, how do we beat it?!" Kazuichi said.
"Don't worry. This one is just a summon. It'll vanish once it attacks." Twilight said.
"So, essentially dodge it the minute it strikes?" Akane asked.
"Which we should do...now!" Sunset said as they veered right as the Titan struck its fist into the ground, making it break apart all across, splitting the burning town away from the other land.
"Now that is some power. Incredible." Jimbei said.
"Looks like the woods weren't touched. We should land down there." Jexi said.
"Sounds like a good idea to me." Akane said.
They soon touched down into the woods as they exited their ships before seeing two people unconscious. A man clad in purple armor and a young girl with green hair.
"Looks like there were survivors. Two of them." Lucy said. "And that Titan...I think the girl was the one who summoned it."
"They both seem to be in bad shape. Let's find an inn somewhere and get these two out of harm's way." Sectonia said.
"Roger that." Presea said.
"This world will be your first taste of combat outside of ours, Mayumi. You ready for this?" David asked.
"Of course." Mayumi said.
They soon picked up the two and headed towards an inn.
"Hmm. I'm not finding info on the girl, but I have seen the man before. His name is Cecil Harvey. He's a soldier from the kingdom of Baron." Mickey said.
"Mmm…" the girl with green hair was stirring.
"Yo, the girls waking up!" Fuyuhiko asked as the girl opened up her eyes, which were colored a bright blue.
"Yeah. Those are the eyes of a summoner." Lucy said. "She was definitely the one."
"Hey, girl. You got a name?" Rainbow asked.
"Ry...dia." she said still dazed.
"Rydia… nice name." Pinkie said.
"That was some summon you did. Were you responsible for Titan back there?" Rainbow asked carrying her piggyback style.
"Yes. I'm a summoner from Mist." she said.
"Mist?" Rainbow asked.
"Its the name of the town we saw burning with all the people in it dead." Riku said.
"Oh…" Rainbow said. "Well, I'm sure it was natural and all…"
"There was nothing natural about it at all. We were bombed." she said. "And that man was one of the people responsible." she said pointing to Cecil.
"Oh… so we bring both sides together." Pinkie said.
"This is awkward…" Hope said.
"Looks like you and Cecil are stuck with us. Can you two get along?" Sunset asked.
"Yeah. He was just doing what he thought was right for his people. I'm sure he couldn't do it intentionally." Rydia said.
"Regardless, its great we get another powerful summoner. I bet you have loads of other super strong summons." Rainbow said.
"I don't. At least, not right now. I do use magic if anything." Rydia said.
"That's still pretty good." Rainbow said. "You need a cure spell or anything to recover?"
"I'll let you heal me at the Inn. It's just up the…" Rydia began before they saw soldiers up ahead.
"That armor...they must be from Baron." Mickey said.
"You! The bizarre party there!" the general said. "That girl with you. The green haired one...is she from Mist?"
"And what if she is?" Akane asked.
"Is she a summoner?" he asked.
"And why would that matter?" Nami asked.
"All summoners from Mist have been ordered to be executed. They are too dangerous. Orders from the King of Baron himself." the general said.
"Afraid we can't let you do that. You'll have to take us all out first." David said.
"We are prepared to kill if needed. Kill them all!" the general ordered as the soldiers attacked.

The soldiers came charging at them. It was at the moment Cecil regained consciousness and then charged and fought them off with the heroes.
"Wow, you're quick to recover!" Scott said.
"Traitor! You were at Mist like all of us, and now you rebel against Baron?!" the general asked.
"You used me and Kain to kill innocent people. I can't make up for their lives, but I can definitely protect one!" he said slashing the general through the chest.
"Well, there ya go, there's his answer!" Rainbow said letting Rydia down who stumbled a bit before getting her balance. "Can we count you in for a fight?"
"Stop bugging her. She's not in any condition. You'll just have to fight and protect her, lazy Rainbow." Sheena said.
"Uh...yes mam." Rainbow said as she fought against a soldier.
"The last one's mine then." Mayumi said. "Soul Fist!" Mayumi shouted as she shot a ball of energy at the last soldier.
(end song)
"And that's that." Indigo said patting her hands.
"Whew…. It was pretty tough though." Carrot said.
"Young lady...I am sorry about what I have done." Cecil said.
"But you protected me." Rydia said as Cecil looked away. "My name is Rydia."
The summoner Rydia joined your party
"Hey, Cecil, if you don't mind, we want to stay with you and Rydia. We kinda have some business here, but we could help each other if we stick together." Sunset said.
"Very well. I am considered an enemy of the kingdom now." Cecil said.
The Dark Knight Cecil joined your party
"Then consider this a fresh start. We'll help you out in any way we can." Zelos said.
"So, tell me. Why have you come to his land? From your appearances, I can tell you aren't from Earth." Cecil said.
"We actually came here because there was something David had to find out. He's been getting these surges of power lately, and a vision told us to come here." Hope said.
"I don't know why, but somehow...I feel myself connected to this world." David said.
"Hopefully, we'll figure things out as we go along." Sheena said.
"So for now, where will we go with you guys? Not too many places for you two to go to." Pinkie asked.
Cecil thought for a minute before they heard panic from the streets as people were running out.
"Whoa! What's going on?" Ladybug asked.
"A Baronian girl just collapsed in the streets. They think its desert fever." a villager said.
"Baronian… Rosa…?" Cecil muttered.
"Who's Rosa?" Hope asked.
"A friend of mine from Baron. She's a White Mage." Cecil said. "She must've been searching for me after hearing about what happened at Mist."
"We'd better help her, then. If its desert fever, she won't last long." Chopper said.
They ran out to the streets and found a woman passed out on the streets.
"Rosa!" Cecil said running to her in worry. "They tell the truth, she has desert fever."
"If that's true...then she needs a Sand Pearl." Riku said.
"How do you know to cure desert fever?" Rydia asked.
"I know some things." Riku said.
"But the only known place to get a Sand Pearl is Damcyan. And its too dangerous to move Rosa." Cecil said.
"Don't worry. I'll stay behind and take care of her." Chopper said.
"You, strange raccoon?" Cecil asked.
"I'm not a raccoon! I'm a reindeer!" Chopper said.
"You don't have to worry, Cecil. Chopper's one of the best medics we've got. He'll keep Rosa alive long enough for us to bring the Sand Pearl." David said.
"Aw. I'm not happy cause you said that, you dummy." Chopper said dancing.
"Funny way to present yourself." Cecil said. "Follow me, I'll take you to Damcyan."
