A/N: This is where we get to the very root of how the story is gonna be. I should put in where he each world is taking place in time.

In the DC Universe, this is before Injustice: Gods Among Us.

In Mortal Kombat, this takes place after the events of Mortal Kombat 11.

In the Soul Calibur world, this takes place after Soul Calibur IV, but before Soul Calibur V.

In GTA, this takes place after the events of Grand Theft Auto V.

In Kingdom Hearts, this takes place after the events of Kingdom Hearts 3.

In Assassin's Creed, this takes place during the events of Assassin's Creed III.

With all that out of the way, I really don't have anything else to add. Enjoy the chapter!

Chapter 1: An Entire New Adventure

Oberon tapped on the armrests of his throne as his conquest of three planets was completed and they were completely dismantled adding them to his collection. The icy blue woman placed the container holding the planets in the slot in the storage room returning to the main control room.

"Any reports of life from those planets?" Oberon asked.

"Outside of the ones we took prisoner...none survived." The icy blue woman replied.

"Don't be so sure, Icetress. A young girl escaped my grip and survived the onslaught. My apologies, milord." The masked man reported as he bowed to his leader.

"One lone survivor isn't much of a trouble. If she isn't any hindrance to our plans, she's as good as dead to me." Oberon explained.

"Any idea where this young girl has gone, Vector?" Icetress asked as she walked up to her cohort.

"She went inside a portal that leads to another dimension. Where it leads specifically is up in the air." Vector replied as he crossed his arms.

"Another world? That is impossible." Oberon muttered to himself as he put his hands together and bowed his head.

"What's wrong, milord?" Vector asked.

"We've conquered the known worlds around here and I'm just being told there are others all around us." Oberon replied as he slammed a fist on one of the armrests.

"It's called the Multiverse, milord. However, it's much too big to take all these worlds at once." Icetress explained.

"Nonsense. I must be the ruler of all worlds and galaxies including ones foreign to me. All that opposes me must be vanquished." Oberon stated as he got up from his throne.

"Taking over the Multiverse? That is unheard of." Vector stated as Oberon left the main control room followed out by his henchmen.

"Til now...I want all the details surrounding these worlds and then we head out to take them all over. This will be the biggest conquest known to history." Oberon demanded.

"But what if these worlds have warriors that are too strong to take on? We easily took over three, but that insufferable survivor escaped." Icetress stated.

"One petty survivor is no match for my entire army. I will not be denied victory." Oberon retorted as he crossed his arms.

"Taking over so many worlds does have a nice ring to it." Vector interjected.

"Icetress, lock on coordinates with all surrounding dimensions and Vector, make sure the lab has produced fresh new Lizdons for our conquest." Oberon ordered.

The two henchmen bowed to their superior before separating to do their tasks. Oberon nodded before disappearing into the storage rooms as he looked upon shelves containing millions of planets he has conquered.

"No one ever escapes Oberon. No one does." Oberon muttered to himself.

Oberon surveyed all his recent and past conquests as many worlds sat in cylinder containers featuring formations of worlds that were merged together and shrunken to fit inside in order to become apart of Oberon's legacy. He stopped upon seeing one empty slots among the hundreds of formations in the rows.

Oberon was most certainly smirking under the mask and it proved that too many worlds wouldn't be hard to overcome and place in his collection. He was ready to forever go down in galactic history.

"Lord Oberon, I have something for you to see." Icetress stated form the main control room.

Oberon was broken from his train of thought immediately heading back to his henchwoman as Icetress brought up images of different kingdoms all around the worlds she could find. Each one was vibrant from the next as Oberon scratches his chin in deep thought.

"What are these kingdoms?" Oberon asked in amazement.

"From dimension #1, the two main kingdoms was able to find was Atlantis and Gorilla City. Both run by a single entity with the only difference being one for good and the other for bad. Aquaman, King of Alantis, has complete control of the ocean and all the fishes that reside in it. Gorilla Grodd, ruler of Gorilla City, has mind controlling technology which can be very useful in this conquest." Icetress replied.

"That would make it easier to enslave every being in these worlds. Force them to willingly surrender." Oberon explained as he liked the idea.

"The next kingdom I found was from the second world named Outworld. It has had many rulers ranging from a screaming queen named Sindel, a tyrannical monster named Shao Kahn, a destructive dragon king named Onaga, a former general named Kotal Kahn and now, Shao Kahn's daughter, Kitana." Icetress explained.

"A puny human rules the country. That will be easy for my forces to storm and kill her off." Oberon boasted.

"I was also able to find the kingdoms of Corona and Arendelle. They are standard compared to the others, but that doesn't mean they aren't worth taking over and turning into something more." Icetress explained as she smirked.

"Good work, Icetress. These will be good focal points in our mission. I would suggest gathering with Vector and the scientists for battle strategies." Oberon requested.

"Right away, my liege." Icetress obeyed as she bowed to Oberon.

Oberon crosses his arms looking at the five kingdoms that were displayed on the computer screen. He couldn't wait to taste the blood of his enemies and the conquer of their worlds.

The night sky hung high over the city of Gotham as various heroes and villains were out doing their patrol to either keep everyone safe or disturb the peace as much as possible. However, it was mostly just random thugs doing muggings or store robberies since the main horde of villains were locked up in the confines of Arkham Asylum.

That didn't stop the villains from their life of crime as they knew they would eventually rise to get out of the place which is what they were gonna do. They were in the midst of planning a riot to beat down the guards and escape through the front doors in order to make their way out to continue where they left off.

Of course, the heroes of Gotham caught wind of this riot and were already on the way to stop it. Batman cruised by buildings on his way to Arkham in the Batmobile as he had a stern face knowing innocent lives were at stake for this one. With him was a protege of his, he had blonde hair, a green trench coat, a bullet proof vest with the initials 'SS' on top of one another in bold yellow with a blue outline. He wore black pants and army boots. He had a belt of bombs attached to him including smoke bombs, pipe bombs, EMP bombs, noisemaker decoy bombs, He had a normal handgun pistol in a holster and a mechanical shotgun along with a flamethrower strapped to his back.

"So who is coming with us to stop this riot?" The man asked as he turned to his mentor.

"I've got Dick and Jamie on their way with their own transportation. I tried getting Firestorm, but he and the professor were unavailable." Batman replied.

"We don't need them. I've got plenty of firepower in ol' Jenny." The man declared with a smirk.

"This won't be an easy task, Parker. You are a bright student of mine, but you can be reckless. I don't want you ending up like Jason." Batman explained.

"Jason should be joining us in the fight to get these creeps in their cages. Knowing where you and him stand, though, I guess he declined a party invite." Parker figured.

"Me and him have dueling ideologies. He wants to kill criminals and I believe they can be rehabilitated. I'm not taking chances of putting lives at stake." Batman explained.

"What would the cost be in killing Joker, Quinn, and others be, though? They won't stop until Gotham is their playground." Parker interjected.

"Killing them makes us no different. It's one of the first lessons I've taught to Jamie, Dick and even Jason. I'm just glad some of them listened to me." Batman stated.

"I'm all for saving some villains, but if some of them just simply don't want to be reformed, we got to let them go." Parker retorted.

"What would your parents think hearing you now? They were brilliant minds wanting to help people and invent new ways of helping the world. Killing wouldn't be in their books." Batman explained.

"Don't be that guy, Bruce. I get enough of it daily." Parker stated as he slumped in his seat.

A roaring motor joined Batman and Parker as Nightwolf was seen in his natural blue and black head riding a black motorcycle. He smirked and nodded to his teammates. A blast of energy came up to the Batmobile as Blue Beetle did a corkscrew flashing a thumbs up as the four heroes came upon Arkham. They parked right outside the gates as fire was already being made and guards were killed off by inmates including the major villains.

Joker laughed as he flicked a deck of razor sharp playing cards at three cards impaling them all and killing them off. He laughed like the maniac he was, but a guard caught him in a headlock. Harley Quinn came up wearing a blue tank top and jean shorts with white sneakers bashing the guard in the head with her baseball bat. Joker dusted himself off as he looked at the chaos.

"So much fun and chaos left to make. This was the best plan over ever had." Joker stated as he rubbed his hands together.

"We should go for the main doors next, puddin! Put a little spring in their step." Harley suggested as she jabbed a thumb for the main entrance.

"Bane, Clayface! Break those doors down!" Joker commanded as he pointed to the gates.

Bane and Clayface nodded doing a shoulder charge as they clashed with the main gates. They backed up and started weakening the gates with each pushed they could. The Riddler and Deathstroke came up behind Joker and Harley as the puzzle master had a big smile on his face.

"Arkham is about to have a wonderful fireworks display when we blow it to smithereens. Deathstroke planted the explosives everywhere." Riddler explained as he twirled his cane.

"Excellent. I say that this partnership was quite a splendid idea." Joker added with a cackling giggle fit.

Back outside, Batman, Nightwolf, Sudden Shift and Blue Beetle saw the gates about to come off their hinges. Batman grabbed a handful of batterrangs and threw them at the gate as it exploded blowing back Bane and Clayface as the other four villains looked up to see the heroes they despised the most standing there.

"Oh, what a surprise. Bats and his fan club come to save the day." Joker stated with a bored expression and fake jazz hands.

"You're staying here until you can learn to be a decent human being. I don't care how long it takes." Batman explained.

"Persistence was always a problem with him." Harley retorted.

"The problem with you Bats is that you are just a big on the sleeves of a mastermind. No matter how many times I squish you, you always have another one to replace it." Joker explained.

"I resent that!" Blue Beetle exclaimed with a glare.

"Wa, wa! The jokes keep running so get used to it!" Harley exclaimed.

"So who's got who?" Nightwing asked as he grabbed his sticks.

"I'll take Joker and Harley. Nightwing, take out Deathstroke and Blue Beetle, you have Bane and Clayface. That leaves Riddler to Sudden Shift." Batman replied.

Everyone nodded as they went after their assigned villain as Batman started fighting Joker with hand-to-hand combat while dodging swiftly from baseball bat shots from Harley kicking her back and uppercutting Joker. Joker growled and pulled out a pistol shooting at Batman, but the dark knight was able to throw down a few smoke pellets surrounding his area in smoke.

"Oh, how I missed the games of hide and seek." Joker stated with a smirk.

Batman grabbed Harley and put her right arm around her back. Joker was quick enough to punch Batman back and continued his assault as Batman had to use his shock gloves to launch Joker back a few feet. Joker landed with a hard thug as Harley growled and got out automatic handguns shooting at Batman with rapid fire as the dark knight flipped through the bullets and kicked one of them from her hands. Harley was kicked in the gut and punched twice in the face making her groan going to the ground.

Nightwing and Deathstroke seemed to be at a stalemate when it came to martial arts making them grab their weapons as Deathstroke got the upper hand with his bo staff. He shot a laser hitting Nightwing in the chest as Nightwing hit the wall and the muddled part of his costume scorched. Deathstroke chuckled at how easy he put down the son of Bruce Wayne and grabbed his handguns aiming for Nightwing. Nightwing uses the wall as a launching pad and planted both feet in the chest of the mercenary sending Deathstroke back a little bit.

"Quite the memories these battles bring, Robin."

Deathstroke stated.

"I'm not Robin anymore and I definitely ain't scared of you no more." Nightwing remarked as he clashed more with his sticks to Deathstroke's staff.

Blue Beetle came at Bane and Clayface as Bane grabbed Jamie by the leg as he flew by, but Jamie created a shield and blocked a fist that Bane through at him. The punch did send Blue Beetle back as the Scarab created a sword for Jamie as he combatted the two powerhouses. Bane was trying to punch Blue Beetle, but Jamie used his shield and slashed a tube that Bane used for his poison to grant him immense strength. Clayface came at Blue Beetle as Jamie tried slicing through him, but thanks to the mud that covered Clayface, the slices go right through Clayface or even get stuck. Clayface pinches Jamie as Blue Beetle hit an armored truck.

"Oof! No bueno." Blue Beetle murmured in Spanish.

Clayface picked up the suit wearing hero by the leg and started smashing him against the truck multiple times before the Scarab created a thruster engine on Jamie's back thrusting enough energy to send both men flying only for Jamie to fly and Clayface to get sent halfway across the prison. Jamie created an energy cannon as he shot down a blue energy blast taking out Bane as well colliding the two powerhouses together.

"I really forgot how much fun it is to be awesome." Blue Beetle stated as he smiled with his hands on his hips.

Parker dodged swings from Riddler's cane as he kicked the criminal mastermind to the ground. He pulled his pistol loading it up and started shooting as Riddler crawled across the ground getting away and making Parker waste his bullets.

"Son of a bitch…" Sudden Shift cursed as he grabbed a pipe bomb.

He threw it in the air and used his shotgun to blast it as Riddler had to get to his feet fast just to get away. Parker continued shooting shotgun bullets at Riddler and he kept missing as Riddler held up a button device.

"Not one more step or I'm sending us all to hell!" Riddler threatened with his hand on the button.

"It doesn't have to be like this." Sudden Shift stated as he aimed his shotgun at Riddler.

"Oh, but it needs to be. You heroes have forced my hand and when I press this button, we all die." Riddler threatened.

"Boy, they aren't kidding when they say you're a sick bastard." Sudden Shift insulted.

"Put the gun down, boy. Don't want the same thing happening to your beloved friends like your parents." Riddler taunted.

Sudden Shift's eyes widened as he pulled the trigger unloading bullet after bullet into the chest of the Riddler not giving the mastermind enough time to detonate the bombs. Riddler's body frailed and wiggled as bullets entered his chest. Parker grabbed his pistol loading two more bullets in and shot Riddler in the forehead twice. Riddler stood for a second before falling to the ground on his back dead from the wounds.

"DON'T EVER SPEAK ABOUT MY FAMILY AGAIN, YOU BASTARD!" Sudden Shift screamed as he stomped on the chest of the Riddler.

"Parker! That's too far!" Batman screamed, but that caused him to be punched in the jaw by Joker.

Harley came up with a swift shot to the ribs of Batman and Joker tossing a confetti bomb that made Nightwing tackle his mentor out of the way.

"Well, it was fun catching up, but we really should be heading out. Can't keep Gotham waiting." Joker stated as he and Harley made way for the exit.

However, before the duo could leave a makeshift green barrier blocked their path. They both looked up to see Green Lantern smirking down at them while Superman used his freeze breath to put out the fires.

"Party poopers." Joker grumbled as he and Harley raised their hands in surrender.

Batman, Nightwing and Blue Beetle came over as Batman had two pairs of magnetic handcuffs putting them around Joker and Harley as they were on their knees grumbling vulgar words at the heroes.

"Where's Deathstroke?" Batman asked as he looked at Dick.

"He escaped after I gained the upper hand in our fight. He was too crafty stop." Nightwing replied.

"Of course...the wonder boys are the ones to always come save the day." Sudden Shift commented as he placed his pistol in its holster.

"Your welcome." Green Lantern stated sternly with a glare at Parker.

"Why did you kill the Riddler?" Batman asked as he turned to his protege.

"No one brings up what happened to mom and dad. No one, and you knew that taking me under your wing!" Sudden Shift replied as he planted a finger on Batman's chest.

"I thought it was a rather enticing performance. I just love a good show of bloodshed." Joker stated as he balled his hands into fists.

"You can be next, clowns!" Sudden Shift exclaimed as he pointed his pistol at Joker and Harley.

Green Lantern raised his ring trapping the pistol in a green orb as Sudden Shift glared menacingly at Hal. Hal dropped the the hold and shook his head.

"It's not worth it." Green Lantern stated.

"I never asked for your input, Hal." Sudden Shift muttered as he pocketed his pistol.

"Clark, Hal, take Joker and Quinn up to a soldiery confinement unit at Justice League HQ. I'll The coroner's office to pick up Riddler's body." Batman requested.

Superman and Green Lantern nodded, but Superman floated over to Bruce whispering something in his ear.

"We need to gather the others and have a meeting up at HQ. There is something bad coming." Superman whispered.

Batman perked up at this and nodded as both flyers took their captives up high flying all the way to the Watchtower.

Kaya was swirling around in the portal as she felt the most nauseated she did in her entire life. She saw a white light at the end screaming for her life and crossing her fingers being shot out hitting the ground very hard.

She groaned as she tried pushing herself up to make heads or tails of where she landed, but hissed as the sun rained down on her with rays of hotness. She closed her eyes, but noticed and perked her ears to the sound of footsteps coming close to her. Fearing for her life, she grabbed the laser pistol she stole and aimed it in a random direction.

"I've got a weapon and I'll shoot if you hurt me!" She exclaimed, shakingly holding the pistol in the wrong direction.

"Dear child, do not fear." A commanding voice stated as Kaya started opening her eyes.

Kaya opened her eyes to a tall being with blue skin and what looked like traditional attire for a tribe of sorts. He was aboard a blue-skinned mutated horse as it neighed at her and she saw that the direction of her pistol was aiming totally off into the distance. Even if she defended herself for a second, she would've been toast.

"Any idea on who this is, Kotal?" Another voice asked, but this one had a Western-tone to it.

She turned to see a cowboy with a banana and some sort of cape hanging from his front and back. Kaya noticed that he drew a rifle from his back and was on the same horse this Kotal was on.

"Speak your name!" A third voice demanded as Kaya found blades held to her throat.

She looked up in horror at a beast with large, sharp teeth and white clothing with long blades attached to his arms. He glared daggers into her eyes so hard that she felt she was bleeding out badly.

"I'm Kaya! A notable member of the Whitcin tribe!" Kaya answered in a fast tone as she closed her eyes.

"Baraka, cease and desist." Kotal commanded as the Tarkatan released his hold.

Kaya got up quickly as she saw her messed up hair blushing slightly as she brushed it back to be more professional.

"You said you belonged to a tribe? What tribe would this be again?" Kotal asked in a calming tone.

"The...Whitcin tribe. It's my race of people...back on...my destroyers planet." Kaya replied as her thoughts flew back to the conquering of her world.

"Planet? Like, from space?" The cowboy asked in bewilderment.

"That's correct. Although, I went through this portal and I end up here." Kaya replied as she turned to Erron Black.

"We saw that with our very own eyes." Baraka stated.

"Then you have no reason to doubt me." Kaya retorted.

"She came from a different dimension in hindsight. Very peculiar." Kotal stated.

"Where am I?" Kaya asked as she looked around at the desert around her.

"You're on the outskirts of Outworld, missy. That's where we came from." Erron replied.

"Outworld? Is that the city in the distance?" Kaya asked as she pointed to a city not far from their current location.

"That's correct. We were doing a daily patrol of the perimeter for Kitana Kahn and Queen Sindel when we happened to see you out here." Kotal replied.

"I presume those are your leaders?" Kaya asked with a raised eyebrow.

"That's correct. If you like, we can help you to Outworld and provide shelter so you aren't stuck without a home." Kotal replied with a friendly smile.

"That would be very helpful." Kaya stated as she nodded her head and smiled.

Kotal helped her up on his horse as the former Kahn and Erron started using their horses to gallop back to Outworld while Baraka stayed on the outskirts with Tarkatans patrolling the grounds. Kotal, Kaya and Erron made it back to Outworld as they headed through the marketplace and straight for the palace. Kaya admired all the different citizens that came through buying products and fruits for their homes. She took notice of the big coliseum that stood in the middle of the city where she figured their greatest warriors fight for supremacy.

The three made it to the palace as they hitched up the horses with all of them getting off and Kotal pushing the doors open to the throne room. Two large red carpets were rolled out over a bare brown floor. Four pillars held up the ceiling as Kaya gasped and sighed at the environment. She took a look at the thrones in the room as she saw a young Asian woman dressed in all blue and next to her a woman with long, white hair wearing a purple and black one-piece and black boots. Kaya made a notion to bow just as Kotal and Erron did.

"We have returned." Erron stated.

"Who is this you have with you?" The white-haired woman asked with a look of skepticism.

"Kitana Kahn, Queen Sindel, this is Kaya. She is a foreigner from a different realm." Kotal replied.

"A different realm entirely?" Kitana asked with astonishment.

"That's correct, your majesty. I'm from a planet up in space." Kaya quickly replied.

"An alien is the proper term. What planet would this be?" Sindel asked as she leaned forward in her seat.

"Cerberus. My tribe is the ones that claim it as our home. My family and friends were killed or taken prisoner by a monster that goes by the name Oberon." Kaya explained.

Kitana gasped with fright as Kaya mentioned her backstory and how her planet fell to Oberon. It reminded her of Edenia and the wrath that Shao Kahn produced on her people. Sindel even felt a little twitch of guilt hearing the story. Kotal could also relate knowing how it felt losing his family to Shao Kahn and how he had to survive harsh climate conditions to prove himself.

"We know how the pain must feel. You're very welcomed to Outworld as much as you like." Kitana stated with a warm smile.

"Thank you, Ms. Kahn." Kaya responded with a bow.

"You can remain here in the palace, but we will expect you to start pulling your weight with work." Sindel explained.

"I'd be happy to more help to this wonderful place." Kaya stated with a smile.

"We do have a mission we could start you out on. Sub-Zero of the Lin Kuei as requested assistance in the capture of former aide and Outworlder, D'vorah of the Kytinn. She's wanted for several counts of murder." Kitana explained.

"Who has she slain?" Kaya asked with a curious expression on her face.

"Only one of her victims was justified. Mileena, daughter of Shao Kahn, started a civil war when I reigned over Outworld and she was captured to which I let that insectoid kill that repugnant spwna only for her to turn on me in favor of two sorcerers names Quan Chi and Shinnok. Both are long dead, but she remains among the living. She's also killed the first Mortal Kombat tournament winner Scorpion and countless others with her race." Kotal replied.

"That's not right! It makes her no different than Oberon!" Kaya exclaimed as she gritted her teeth and balled her fists.

"Kuai Liang was friends with Scorpion, or as he was formerly known Hanzo Hasashi, and has since started a revenge mission to her nest just outside of Outworld. He has his best friend Smoke, but wants some of our forces to help. I'm sending Erron, Kotal and Jade to help with this scourge." Sindel explained.

"You will be joining them as part of your debut as an Outworld warrior." Kitana added.

Kaya nodded and smiled at her new partners for the mission as she was gonna enjoy it here as long as she could. Part of her missed back home, but there was no point in dwelling on it if there was no more home to return to. She didn't know what she was in for, but she might as well adapt to what was offered around her and make the best of it.

Mitsurugi meditated near the clear sea as he regrouped after hearing the cry of a fallen female warrior. He sat cross-legged as he noticed a pirate ship going by uncomfortably close to the shore. Mitsurugi kept an eye on it and noticed it was rowing in his direction. He unsheathed his katana as Gargantua smirked guiding his boat over.

"Land ho!" Shark exclaimed as he pointed his sword to the snowy land.

"And looks like we got quite the treasure!" Picks added as he licked his lips.

"The great traveler himself. Prepare for battle, men." Gargantua ordered.

Picks and Shark grabbed boards from the back of the boat hulling them over each side of the boat as they grabbed their swords preparing to head ashore. Mitsurugi got ready as the pirate gang came ashore as the three minor henchmen came at him clashing swords with him as he managed to keep up with each and every one of them. Shark and Picks tried a double team slash attack, but Mitsurugi dodges and ducks kicking Picks in the gut and hits a chop to Shark's neck. Dverger tried his luck blocking slashes from Mitsurugi as the noble swordsman kicked him twice in the gut and threw him over his soldier.

"Bandits are not worthy opponents for someone who is an excellent swordsman." Mitsurugi stated as he turned to the leader.

"You have my sword, boy. I'm not leaving till I take it back." Gargantua declared as he unsheathed and held Damascus 2.

"This is about the Damascus Sword?" Mitsurugi asked.

"Of course! It was my sword before you unrightfully stoke it from us so we are doing the only thing necessary to get it back. It's troublemakers like you that make the business bad for us." Gargantua replied.

"I take on the best swordsman and reward myself for my victory. Your sword was a fantastic addition to my inventory." Mitsurugi explained.

"Well, I'm taking it whether I gotta kill ya or kidnap ya. I'm not leaving either way." Gargantua stated as he charged into battle.

Mitsurugi charged against him when a white light blinded both men before they could enter battle. Both warriors covered their eyes as the light was bright as the sun in the sky. The light ceased after a few minutes before a woman was seen and she fell in the snow. She wore a red headdress with goggles and an entire red outfit with black boots.

"What the hell?" Gargantua asked as she saw the woman laying in the snow.

"Who is she?" Mitsurugi asked himself as he looked her over.

He wasn't sure what she was doing here or who she was, but he recalled a female's scream. Could this be her? Could this be the person that disturbed his meditation? A person he was supposed to find and rescue? She definitely wasn't safe now that Gargantua and his crew were here. Mitsurugi saw each warrior starting to rise as he was surrounded with nothing, but the woman as a possible ally and she wouldn't even wake up.

"I don't know what she's doing here, but it doesn't stop me from getting back my sword." Gargantua stated as he closed in smirking.

Mitsurugi held Muichimonji tightly as the bandits closed in, but the woman started stirring with her eyes coming open. She quickly got up in between everyone as she held her head and shook trying to rid herself of any headache that she sustained in her sleep. She fluttered her eyes and checked her surroundings immediately laying eyes upon Gargantua, who looked at her with a weird expression. She sensed something about him looking him over before she summoned a knife that was summoned from the form of blood.

"Hey! What are you-?!" Gargantua exclaimed as she jabbed the knife into his heart.

The woman imposed it deep as Shark, Picks and Dverger all gasped at their leader slowly dying in front of them. Shark tried saving him, but the woman raised a hand and brought Shark up as five blades made of blood appeared in mid-air. The blades than impaled Shark one by one until the last two went through his eyes killing him instantly. The woman took the blade from Gargantua and then raised her other hand to start sucking the blood from his body as the pirate leader fell on his back. The woman took the blood and absorbed it into her savoring every last drop that she took.

"Oohhh, I haven't had a dose like that in awhile." The woman stated with a gentle moan.

"Who are you?!" Picks demanded as he held his sword tightly.

"My name is Skarlet. I have no idea where I am, but I can say that it comes with a very fresh supply." Skarlet answered as she released blood vines from her hands.

They attached themselves to Picks as he screamed and dropped his sword as Skarlet started adding more blood to his heart as it pumped really fast. His heart explodes as he screams in pain falling forward into the snow. Mitsurugi was breathing hard as he saw all three men just die before him as Deverger came with his sword held high as Skarlet dodged a slash attempt before grabbing Dverger by the throat starting to absorb his blood before he ceased moving and she dropped him.

"I've never seen anything like you." Mitsurugi stated as he stared nervously at his newest adversary.

"Not a lot of people have. Then again, they aren't alive long enough to truly understand who I am." Skarlet explained as she created a blood sphere.

"I need to test your strength. To see if you are worthy of challenging me." Mitsurugi challenges as he held his katana tightly.

"We have just met and I'm already a notable contender. I would feel honored, but such travesties will be met with bloody force." Skarlet accepted as she grabbed her blade.

Mistusguri didn't know where Skarlet came from or why she is here, but it's for a reason. Maybe this is the person he has been waiting for his entire life. A worthy combatant in the desolate snow.
