Author's Notes: This fanfiction is in the chaotic style of a crossover with several hints of alternate universe with the potential for virtually endless possibilities. This concept was inspired as a joke, but has somehow grown and developed a plot. Of course, I'm not the only one responsible for the overall insanity of this particular story.

Author's Notes 2: This fanfiction will include characters from such animes as Inuyasha, Digimon Adventure, Gundam Wing, Ranma 1/2, Tenchi Muyo, etc. This fanfiction will also include characters from such video games as Final Fantasy VII, Final Fantasy VIII, Final Fantasy IX, Chrono Cross, etc. Trying to make sense of things will most likely leave you even more confused.

SPOILER WARNING!: I write based on how far into a given series or game I have gotten, which may be further than the average reader. As such, I am giving you all fair warning that some of the stuff included in this fanfiction might be a little ahead of its time.

------It Starts With Pizza------

Yamato was busy in the kitchen, attempting to prepare lunch for everyone who happened to live in this self-proclaimed realm of absolute chaos. Gabumon was trying to help, but the digimon could only do so much to assist his human companion. Taichi was not making matters any easier.

"So, what do you think?" asked Taichi. He was holding up a doctored poster for the movie Final Fantasy VII Advent Children with a picture of Yamato dressed up as Cloud and the words *starring Yamato Ishida as Cloud Strife* written across the bottom in big, bold letters.

Yamato gave Taichi a glare from across the counter, "It was you that started those rumors!"

Taichi looked a little hurt, "And you never even thanked me for it. Aren't you happy about it?"

"Happy?! I have enough trouble with fangirls already!" Yamato's glare turned into an expression that promised great pain for Taichi if he didn't leave the room quickly.

Taichi pouted, "Aw, you're no fun. Come on Agumon, we can't keep our next appointment waiting."

Agumon snatched a muffin, leftover from breakfast, off the counter and scarfed it down in one bite. He quickly followed Taichi out of the kitchen.

The lid of one of the pots on the stove exploded upward and imbedded itself in the ceiling. Yamato shook his head, "That Taichi has lost it. Now the people at the studio won't leave me alone about the idea."

"I guess we're ordering out for lunch," noted Gabumon eyeing the shiny metallic object still stuck in the ceiling and the burned contents of the pot that it had been covering.

Yamato sighed, "I guess we're having pizza."

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Zidane was sprawled out on one of the branches of the indoor tree that was positioned in the living room of the expansive [and expensive] mansion. He idly fiddled around with the digivice he had nabbed from Taichi when the goggle-boy had first walked through the front door with Agumon. To his good fortune, Taichi was so caught up in his little mad scheme he hadn't yet noticed that his digivice was missing.

Taichi was in the opposite corner of the room where the fluffy pink sofas were located. In this corner of the room, prior to Taichi's invasion, Sesshoumaru and Kuja had been quite busy giving Vamdemon a makeover. Zidane lost interest in the digivice when he heard shouting coming from that particular corner of the room.

"That's an excellent picture of me!" Sesshoumaru beamed at the doctored poster of himself dressed like Sephiroth that Taichi was showing him. Kuja and Vamdemon looked at each other and sweatdropped.

Taichi grinned, having his ego inflated back to standard size after being burned by Yamato, "You really like it?"

"I don't suppose you have an extra copy I could put up on that empty section of wall over there?" Sesshoumaru sounded hopeful.

"Feh... get over yourself," Inuyasha stepped in from one of the other rooms and snorted at the behavior of his older, half-brother.

Sesshoumaru ignored Inuyasha completely as Taichi handed him a copy of the poster. Inuyasha shook his head and started for the kitchen, "Hey Yamato, when's lunch gonna be ready?! I'm starving!"

After bidding farewell to Sesshoumaru, Taichi and Agumon started toward the front door to take their leave. Taichi finally noticed that his digivice was missing and turned on Zidane, who was still perched up in the tree.

"Hey monkey-boy, give me back my digivice!" Taichi shouted up at Zidane who pretended not to hear him. "Gr... Agumon, get him!"

"Pepper Breath!" Agumon took up a striking pose and spit a fireball up at Zidane's treebranch.

Zidane effortlessly dropped down from the treebranch and stuffed the digivice in one of his pockets as he landed lightly on the tile floor. The smoldering treebranch crashed down behind him and he struck a pose. Dagger and Eiko, who were coming down the stairs, applauded Zidane's routine.

Taichi sweatdropped as Zidane bowed, expertly tossing the digivice over his shoulder to Taichi as he darted toward the staircase to give the girls a proper greeting. Taichi shrugged and put his digivice away before heading out the front door with Agumon.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"I really don't know if this is my color," Vamdemon attempted to look at his non-existent reflection in the mirror.

Kuja smiled, "It looks great! Blood Crimson is so much better than Lavender Shadow!"

At that precise moment, a wall parallel to the front door exploded in on itself in a perfect circular opening as the familiar voice of Ryoga exclaimed, "Bakusai Tenketsu!" This sound was followed by some mild coughing and several muttered curses. A moment later Ryoga stumbled inside followed by Squall, who was only slightly more oriented than the eternally lost boy.

"Are you sure this is the right place?" Squall looked annoyed, as though he had already asked the same question several times before.

Ryoga looked around the living room, noticed the familiar faces around him, nodded and finally passed out from a combination of exhaustion and shock from having reached the right place in less than ten tries and in one day. Ranma chose that moment to stroll into the living room wearing nothing but a towel as he stepped out of the boy's bath [custom made by Washu.] Ranma noticed Ryoga on the floor and Squall seemingly towering over him, "Hm... must be that new guy that Crystal was talking about yesterday. I told her it was a bad idea to let Ryoga volunteer to bring him here."

Crystal's voice sounded from the top of the staircase, "And that's why I told you to go with him Ranma." As she made her way down the stairs, it became apparent that she was not alone, considering Cloud was following several feet behind her hefting a lead pipe over his shoulder.

"So, that means she's the one that hired me?" Squall blinked.

Crystal nodded after giving Ranma a testing glare that caused him to blink several times before idly lifting Ryoga's unconscious form over his own shoulder and carrying him up the stairs to the proper bedroom.

"And what exactly did you hire me for? You seem to have everything under control," Squall seemed a little bored by the situation.

"I wouldn't say everything," supplied Cloud.

The doorbell rang and Yamato bolted from the kitchen while attempting to disentangle himself from his apron, "The pizzas here!" He skidded to a halt by the front door and swung it open to find a rather unusual face on the pizza delivery boy.

"You're not Quatre..." Wufei blinked.

Yamato sweatdropped, "Heh, Wufei... since when are you the pizza delivery guy?"

Wufei attempted not to look embarrassed, "I'm paying for some repairs and upgrades I had done on Nataku. Where is Quatre?"

An unnaturally cheerful, although perfectly natural, voice echoed down the stairs as Duo reached the bottom in a single, great leap. He gave his fellow gundam pilot a nice big hug. Wufei attempted to escape from Duo, but found that he could no longer move his arms.

Yamato snatched the pizza out of the air as Wufei lost control of his arms and idly set the payment and tip on the floor to be retrieved later. He then hurried back into the kitchen and shut the door behind him to avoid the obvious noise that was to follow.

Duo finally released Wufei, "What're you doing here, huh man?"

"Er... I was delivering a pizza," Wufei looked around the room at the unusual gathering of people that he recognized and didn't recognize. "Where is Quatre?"

"Oh, he doesn't live here," replied Duo anxious to have a chat with the other gundam pilot.

Wufei frowned, "Isn't this his mansion?"

"That's the great part. Quatre doesn't know that," Duo sounded cheerful.

Wufei was overcome by confusion, "I think I should talk to him about this..."

"That idiot doesn't know when to keep his big mouth shut," Crystal signaled Cloud with a brief movement of her hand.

Cloud brought the lead pipe down over Duo's head with a satisfying **Clang!** before Duo collapsed to the ground with a **Thud!**. Cloud rested the lead pipe over his shoulder and let out a bored sigh.

"That doesn't look like enough work for you to hire more than one mercenary. I mean, couldn't you just do that yourself?" Squall took another look around.

Crystal sweatdropped, "Actually, the main reason is that there are a lot of people here and I can't do everything myself."

"Uh, there is still the small matter of explaining the situation to Quatre," noted Wufei.

Crystal shook her head, "The less he knows about this place the better. How about I hook you up with a room here for a few days and you check it out before blowing our cover?"

"You make it sound like some kind of elaborate hotel," Wufei was getting increasingly confused.

Crystal shrugged, "Well, I could have Nataku transported here so you can work on it in the backyard... and we've got all kinds of parts you could use for free thanks to Duo. Of course, if Quatre found out about us..."

"Fine, you've got a week to change my mind," Wufei decided the agreement was easiest. ~Besides, it means I don't have to deliver anymore pizzas.~

And That's Just the Beginning...
