Hello everyone, Prinny Overlord here. So while writing my other fanfic, this idea popped in my mind. With the help of some others, this story came to be. Please note that this is a heavily cross-over filled fanfic, and if you spot inconsistency with characters, please let me know. With that being said I hope you enjoy reading this as much as I enjoyed writing this. This first chapter will contain Yuri.

Would like to thank 017Bluefield for beta-reading this. Thank you!

Let's assume that when an idea takes shape, a ball appears somewhere. Now imagine that the ball is placed in a container along with other balls (or ideas). Now what happens to those balls when the container is lifted and shaken? The balls collide. This here is a story about various ideas colliding together, making a unique world all its own. That's a pretty good analogy for this story. This "world" is a combination of various ideas, both good and bad. We start this story off in a plain, not unlike many RPGs.

"Ugh… What…happened…?" The young man groaned as he got to his feet.

The man stands up holding his head, looking around. He has long black hair, an open black shirt with sleeves rolled up partway up his forearms, light-green eyes, black pants, and some grey boots that go about halfway to his knee. He also has an iron knuckle on his right wrist; on his left wrist, he bears a gold bracelet with a red jewel in it. The man notices a katana on the ground near him, and he picks it up.

"Hmm, guess this must be mine." he says, looking at the katana for a bit. Rather then adjusting it to go around his back, he merely holds the strap in his hand, letting the sword sway.

"Now, let's see if I can't get my bearings," he says while shielding his eyes from the sun. He then notices someone close by, on the ground. "Hey, you okay over there? You're not dead, are you?" he says rather flatly. When he notices that the person isn't moving, he runs over to check on them.

He approaches the person—a young girl—and kneels down, shaking her awake. "Hey, you alright? You're not seriously dead are you?" he says, still flat, but showing some concern.

"Nnnugh…" she groans, her eyelids fluttering somewhat.

"So you are alive, huh? Guess the buzzards will have to look elsewhere. Hey, you feeling okay? Need some help?" he asks her, placing his hand on her shoulder.

The girls' eyes flutter faster, before she gradually manages to keep them open. Her eyes are a shade of crimson; and her hair is black, long, and in twin ponytails, courtesy of the twin light-blue bows in her hair. As she got up, the man noted that she wore an interesting style of dress. She had what looked like a short, black dress with detached black sleeves at the shoulder. Around her neck was a black and white, frilly collar that had a blue ribbon to go with it. She also had on boots that went up past her knees, black with some white frill at the top of the boots. The man assumed it to be some sort of fashion trend or whatever.

The girl sat up next to the man. She held her head, let out a small groan, and asked, "Uggh… Where…am I…?", her eyes still fluttering slightly, adjusting to the sunlight.

The man stood up, placed his hand on his chin, and pondered for a moment before saying, "I see, you don't know where we are either. That's too bad."

The young girl, picked herself up and stood up, brushing herself off. She walked over to the man and asked him, "So you don't recognize this place? At all?" She sounded a little annoyed with the situation.

"Nope. Not a clue," he said while looking to the distance. He turned to her, "Well, since it won't do us any good to just sit here, let's get going."

Getting a little bit flustered, the girl placed one hand on her hip. "Wh-Why should I go with you? I don't even know who you are," she stated nervously, pointing at the man with her free hand.

"Oh, I'm…" the man stopped talking, and tried to remember his name. 'That's wierd…' he thought. 'Why can't I remember my own name?' After a few seconds, a name came to his mind (though he didn't know if it was his or not). "Yuri. Yuri Lowell," he said finally. "And you are…?"

The young girl brushed aside one her long ponytails and said "Hmph. Yuri, huh? Well Yuri, if you must know I am…uh…" She wondered why she couldn't recall her name, and struggled to open up some memories, but came up with nothing.

The man looked at her, his face, while relaxed, showing some concern for the girl. 'Can she not remember her name, either?', he thought. He pondered for a second, thinking something must have happened to them, since they both seem to have memory issues. Just then, the young girl's eyes light up as she spoke with a hint of happiness and pride.

"It's Noire. My name is Noire," she stated, placing both hands are her hips, closing her eyes, and tilting her head up a little bit, in a smug I'm-better-then-you way.

"Noire, huh?" Yuri said, looking at her, trying to figure her out. He guessed that she is part of an upper-class, judging by her actions and speech. He continues to look at her, trying to figure out if he knew her or not, but he wasn't having any luck.

Noire, now noticing Yuri's gaze, stammered, "Wh-What? I-It's not like I forgot my name or anything! It's just that my head was a little hazy from waking up so suddenly!" Her face became somewhat flushed.

Yuri merely sighed and said, "Yeah, whatever." He then proceeded to turn away from Noire, and started walking off.

Realizing this, Noire rushed after him. "H-Hey, wait a minute Yuri! What are you doing? Where are you going?" she asked rather frantically, not wanting to be left behind in an unfamiliar place.

"Well, I don't know," Yuri replied. "Just gonna walk this way and see where it leads. Unless you have a better idea, Princess?" He put a little emphasis on the last word. He then continued to walk off, leaving Noire slightly stunned.

"Wha—? 'Princess'?! Hey, wait! Stop, Yuri!", she yelled after him. Yuri kept on walking, unfazed. As he began to shrink and disappear from her sight as he walked down a hill, Noire yelled after him again, agitated. "Aggh! Wait for me, Yuri! Slow down and wait for me, dammit!"

And with that, she proceeded to follow him down the hill.

Yuri and Noire continued to walk for about fifteen minutes in silence, passing trees, rocks, fences, and the random assortment of flowers here and there. Finally, the pair stopped at a tree, hiding under its shade. Yuri looked to the distance, seeing a dense forest extending on for what seemed forever.

"Damn, this is getting us nowhere. At this rate, we'll collapse before finding anyone," Yuri sighed as he slumped against the tree and dropped himself on the ground. Noire sat on the other side of the tree, legs extended outward.

"Hey, Yuri, do you think we're going to find anyone? We've walked for a while now, and we haven't seen anyone," she asked her companion, playing with one of her ponytails, twirling it about with her fingers. Her voice was just a little bit softer than normal, most likely because she was a little afraid of what would happen if they didn't find anyone.

"Hm… Well, I'm not sure. All we can really do at the moment is keep going and hope for the best. If we're lucky, we'll find someone who can at least tell us where a town or city is." Yuri picked himself up. Dusting himself off, he looked at Noire. "Do you need a minute, or is the Princess ready to go?"

Noire bolted upright and glared up at him. "No, I'm fine!" she huffed. "I can keep going! I only do everything! And stop calling me 'Princess'! It's Noire! My name is Noire!"

"Oh, my apologies, Lady Noire. I didn't realize I was insulting you. Don't worry, I shan't be doing that again." he bowed to Noire, saying all that with a very sarcastic tone.

"Uggh! Shut up, shut up, shut up! Let's just get going!" Noire snapped, stomping her foot before storming off. Yuri could only chuckle before following.

They saw a small brook in the distance, outside the forest threshold, so they picked up the pace. But before they had a chance to leave, they suddenly heard a low, feral growl. It seemed to be distorted in some sense as well, but neither could figure out how. Yuri, flung his katana up to shoulder height, since he was still holding it by the sash of the sheath. He grabbed the hilt and flung it away to the side, placing the dull edge of the blade on his shoulder, taking a battle stance.

"Noire, stay back," he said, his voice now serious.

"Don't try to be some chivalrous knight, protecting me like some maiden. I can fight, too." she said, a little angry, but full of pride and confidence. She reached behind her back, and suddenly, a rapier appeared in her hand, and she brought it forward, getting into a battle stance.

"Heh, neat trick you got there. Sure hope you can use that," Yuri said to Noire, still serious, but with a bit of calm (from reassurance) and irritation (from Noire calling him a knight) mixed in.

Suddenly, the bushes and branches nearby began to rustle.

Now elsewhere in a city not terribly far from where Noire and Yuri currently are…—What? It'd be boring if it was too far away.—Anyway, there is another person, wandering among the townsfolk, trying to find some information. Unfortunately, the people here don't seem to understand spoken languages, despite having ears. Either that, or they are just plain rude.

"Hey, excuse me!" No response. "Hey, can you tell me where I am?" Still no response. "…Rrrgh! Hey! I said HEY!"

All that, and the person still got nothing.

"Okay, that does it! I'll just make you listen!" With that, the person clapped his hands, and a flash of light briefly blinded the crowd.

In another part of town, there is another poor lost soul, confused about the new place they found themselves in.

"Could ya help me? Please? Aw, come on, don't walk away! Dooood…", the small voice cries. The townspeople keep walking by, leaving what looks like a stuffed penguin to wallow in its misery.

"Ah, damn these guys! They are getting on my nerves!" Or so one would think. In appearance, the penguin has a white body, with a black belly, stitched up with large black threads. It has red somewhat sickle-shaped wings, a brown pouch on its front, sort of like a fanny pack and a pair of peg legs. Its most unusual feature is its eyes, having white irises and a bright green cornea.

"Gaaah! I've been at this for hours!" the penguin-doll yells, then reaches into its fanny pack, and pulls out a dark red iron bomb, complete with fuse. "You guys better start talking or I start blowing crap up!" the penguin threatened. This finally got the people to stop and look at the creature. Of course, it wasn't the kind of attention the little thing wanted.

"Help! Help! Call the guards! There's a psychopath on the loose!" someone in the crowd screamed. The penguin then had a sweat bead go down the back of its head. "Dammit, doood…" it cried.

Suddenly a town guard ran up to the strange thing. "Trouble?" the guard asks.

That offended the penguin toy. "Trouble?" he repeated. "Of course there's freaking trouble! I have asked these big-headed, sphere fisted idiots for hours where I am, and what do they do? They trod right along and freaking ignore me! Agggh, damn!" In its rage, the penguin toy had accidentally dropped its bomb.

"What is it? Dragons?" The guard asked. Apparently, the guards are just as useful as those people.

"What?!" The little penguin thing was both confused and upset. "No! No dragons! The hell'es wrong with everyone here?!"

"No lollygaggin'," the guard said, looking down at the penguin.

"What?! I haven't gagged any lolis! The hell are you talking about?!", the thing said, unsure as to why the guard thought that it was doing something like that. Maybe the town had a bad reputation for that sort of thing, the small, angry and confused penguin thought to itself.

"Hey, you mix potions right? Can you brew me an ale?", the guard inquired the penguin. Now this was quite random. Why he thought that this thing could mix potions, much less alcoholic beverages, is a mystery. Perhaps the guards mistook it for someone else?

Furious, the penguin started screaming at the top of its lungs, provided if it had lungs: "AAAGGGHHH! What the freaking hell is wrong with everyone! It's like everyone's some sort of goddamned moron! I can't take it anyone more, dood!"

The penguin raises its white flipper in the air, and then a green ball of energy began to grow from the tip of its flipper. It reached the size of a softball, before the guard spoke up one more time.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa! Watch the magic!", the guard said, holding his arms up in a 'stop doing that' motion.

Now if this where an anime or visual novel, one could see the red vein throbs in this penguins forehead, as well as a quick burst of steam from the top of its head. Very calmly, which given the circumstances, is creepy, the penguin says, "Okay. Don't worry, I'll watch the magic…" If it could grin with its beak, the penguin toy would have given a devilish grin.

Now we return to Yuri and Noire, finishing up some of the wild pack of animals that had snuck up on them, hungry for fresh meat. However, by fighting off the main pack, the pair had unwittingly alerted the pack leader to their presence.

"Hmm, this might be trouble." Yuri stated plainly, clearly unfazed by this monster. It looked like a wolf with a scorpion's tail, complete with a stinger at the end, and spider mandibles for its mouth.

"They don't know when to give up. Are they stupid? Do they want to die?" Noire asked, confused for the creatures relentlessness.

"Stupid or not, here it comes!" Yuri shouted to Noire, and they both ran to the creature as it started to charge at them.

The wolf scorpion made a beeline for Yuri, and took a pause to use its momentum to throw its stinger at him. Yuri, however, was fast enough to easily dodge, allowing him to pass beside its tail. As he did, he took his sword, brought it over his head, and executed a diagonal slash to the tail, cutting off the stinger.

The creature howled in pain, leaping back and eyed both of its targets. Noire, however, was not going to simply wait for it to make its move. She ran up to the monster and pulled off a beautiful sword thrust to its shoulder blade. After that she pulled it out and attempted another thrust, this time to its head. The creature, much smarted than it seemed, realized what she was doing and bolted straight at her, knocking her down and trampling her.

"Augh! Why you…!" Noire growled, both hurt and upset at being run down. She picked herself up and attempted the finishing blow again, but again missed. This time, the monster hopped to the left, leaving it wide open for Yuri to attack.

Yuri rushed towards the monster, placing the tip of the blade to the ground. "Take this!" he yelled. "Azure…Edge!" With that, he swung his sword in a straight line from ground to sky at the wolf scorpion, emitting a blue shockwave that impacted the side of the beast, knocking it down. Yuri then turned to Noire, and yelled, "Noire, NOW!"

Getting the message, she charged the toppled monster as it struggled, in vain, to get back up. "This is the end for you!" she shouted as she jumped into the air, landing her thrust into the side of its neck, killing it. She removed her blade, gave it a fast swing down to remove any blood left on it, and brought it behind her back again, where it vanished in a flash of light. She walked over to Yuri, who was recovering his sheath.

"Hey, you're not too bad there. I figured you'd be some noble or something with no skills. Heh, the world is full of surprises," Yuri said, holding up his hand for a high-five.

Noire then blushes a bit, and like the tsundere she is, says "Th-Thanks. It's not like I needed your help or anything. But…you're not so bad yourself." She crossed her arms, not returning his high-five. "So now what?"

Letting his hand drop down, Yuri said, "Well, let's just head for that brook. We can rest up there, then continue looking for a town or something. Should be a small one nearby since there's running water." With that, he turned to walk off for the river, before pausing and turning back to her. "Come on or I'm gonna leave you behind."

"Fine. Geez, Yuri, you're so impatient," Noire grumbled. They made it to the brook, and took a moment to rest and quench their thirst after the battle. Around that time, Noire and Yuri noticed a city down the hill, some distance across the brook.

"Well, that's convenient. I was thinking we'd have to walk some more," Yuri said placing his free hand at his hip. He shrugged, "Well, whatever. Hey, Noire, are you ready to go?" he asked Noire, who was now picking herself up.

"Yeah, let's go," she said. "The sooner we get to that town, the sooner we can get an idea as to where we are. Besides, it'll be dark soon, and I'd rather not find out what comes out at night around here," she said, glancing quickly at the sun—indeed, it was making its way to the horizon, indicating sunset within a few hours. And so the two set off for the town, the sky giving off a faint glimmer as they walked on.

Elsewhere, there is a meeting room, where 7 people are discussing something.

"Great, we have more ants to crush. Some peppy brats just arrived to this place!" a female voice spoke out.

"Then why don't you handle it, chump? You're good with mindless labor!", a small voice retorted.

"Why you freaking…! You'd better watch out, 'cause the next meal you eat might be poisoned!", the female voice snapped.

"Hey, hey, now! Come on, don't go blowing up at each other. The solution is simple: we kill the intruders." a male voice said, with a slight lip-smacking at the end of his statement.

"Now, there's no reason for us to fight like this," another male voice said, before directing its attention to the other male voice. "And to send off our guests without a proper greeting?"

"To hell with greeting them!" another male voice cut in. "Let's just cut them down one by one! Hahaha!"

"Heh heh… This is why you'll never be a star player like me" yet another male voice said. "You go after every little part, so no one will give you the opportunity where you'll make it big!"

A machine then came down from the ceiling, its one yellow-orange eye glowed faintly. "There will be no killing of the subjects unless the master deems it so," the machine said in a female voice. "To ignore his order is to invite death…and no cake."

That's when the last voice, who sat at the largest chair (obviously), decided to speak up. "Thanks, pumpkin." He directed his attention to the others. "And she's right. We aren't killing them until we learn a little bit about them. Remember what happened last time?" The man then directed his attention to the female voice.

"I'm sorry, sir! That was a mistake, and it won't happen again!" she pleaded with him.

"See that it doesn't, kitten. And don't worry fellas—I've got their movements watched so if they even so much as pick their noses, we'll know."

"For now, there's science to be done," the machine said.

"That there is, angel. That there is," the big boss man said. He turned his chair to face the window, looking down at the light blue planet below, then turning on a device on his wrist. It displayed a holo-screen in front of him, showing various experiment numbers and names, all falling under one project name.
