Chapter III
Festivities of Manhattan (Part III)
Midtown Manhattan
(Cue Double Dragon Neon - Track 4 - City Streets 2 (Mango Tango - Neon Jungle))
At the expanded part of the midtown section of Manhattan, it has skyscrapers seen like an urban jungle. The Empire State Building is seen for a neon song is heard across the area.
Two young men are seen walking in the streets, they are Kurapika and Leorio of Hunter x Hunter.
"Man, Gon and Killua have all the fun in Time Square." Leorio commented about the boys having more amounts of time.
"This holiday will sure be interesting. We might get to meet with Kurama and Kuwabara somewhere." Kurapika stated. "At the same time, it is best we're alert since there are demon incursions sprouting in Midtown."
"New York does remind us of Yorknew City." Leorio connected both cities.
"It sure is." Kurapika agrees with his fellow Hunter.
At another area, there are four young men leaning against the wall with fangirls admiring and taking pictures. These quadruple are the Gundam Meisters: Setsuna F. Seiei, Lyle Dylandy/Lockon Stratos, Allelujah/Hallelujah Haptism, and Tieria Erde coming from Mobile Suit Gundam 00.
"Well, the fangirls still love us even though our show ended years ago." Lockon positively said to his teammates.
Tieria sternly concurs, "It's interesting how we hold up."
Setsuna then gives his dialogue, "The New Years is going to be our new future for humanity."
"You can say that again, Setsuna." Allelujah agreed.
Touring through the the Midtown area, another group of heroes split from the others decided to tour this side. Kensuke 'Ken' Rainer (A young man who's half Japanese/Texan and is the main character of Digimon Accel Stream), his girlfriend Christina Denton/Sailor Orcus (an Australian Sailor Senshi with light brunette hair and long hairstyle like Sailor Venus, her admirer), and Veemon. Kensuke is dressed as Kick-Ass. Christina is dressed as Hit-Girl from Kick-Ass. They look out at the place known as Hell's Kitchen.
"We're at the Daredevil's hangout." Ken mentions the name of the district.
Christina looks at the surroundings, "This really is Hell's Kitchen? Doesn't look like hell to me."
"Wonder if he's around?" Veemon wondered about Daredevil's presence.
"Don't know, but I hear Spidey hangs around here often." Ken said.
Suddenly, and right on cue, Spider-Man comes hanging down by web on a light post. He hangs right behind the trio. Kensuke instinctively turns around and puts his hand to Spider-Man's face.
"I knew you were coming wall crawler." Ken sensed his presence.
"I don't get a hello?" Spider-Man turns to Christina, "Nice evening, huh?"
"Yeah, very nice, but very hectic once the New Years partying kicks off." Christina said about the experience.
"Kinda already started, Chrissy." Veemon shrugged.
Christina pats Veemon, "You got that right, buddy."
"How's it like finally be part of the MCU, Spidey?" Ken asked the teenage superhero.
"I'll finally get to share screen time with the Avengers!" Spider-Man said excitingly before he stops fanboying, "Well, what can I say? I'm excited. But, man, how many recasts and reboots are they gonna have for me? I mean, for cripe's sake, Hugh Jackman's at least been Wolverine from the get-go. But, Tobey McGuire and then Andrew Garfield... and now they officially cast me as Tom Holland!"
"There's also talk about that Miles Morales guy." Ken remembers Spider-Man's successor in the comics.
Spider-Man sighs, "Not yet since they already decide. Let the new Peter... I mean me, cause I am Peter Parker. The one and only. Let the new me get his feet wet."
Spider-Man web slings out of Ken's reach and lands on top of another light post.
"Daredevil's now part of the MCU, too, but not a movie. He gets a TV show." Christina speaks out about a Daredevil Netflix show.
"And not Ben Affleck this time!" Veemon cried out in relief, knowing that Charlie Cox plays the role.
"Marvel Studio taking back a lot of their guys. And I'm now part of their deal. Exciting times ahead for me!" Spider-Man then dances.
"Just don't do the emo-dance. Or my urge to hurt will rise." Ken seriously muttered.
"This ain't the emo-dance, man!" Spider-Man cried out.
On another side of Mid Manhattan, Tenoh Haruka/Sailor Uranus and Kaioh Michiru/Sailor Neptune sit in a cafe drinking coffee. Haruka cosplays as Firion. Michiru cosplays as Onion Knight from Final Fantasy Dissidia Heroes.
Haruka and Michiru notice Spider-Man dancing on a light post.
"Is that who I think it is?" Michiru noticed the web slinger.
Haruka answers to her lover, "And here I thought Tokyo was the breeding ground for weirdos, but New York's up there, too."
"Oh dear, I hope he doesn't bust out that dreadful emo dance number." Michiru pleaded to herself.
"If he does, I'm sticking a sword up his ass." Haruka glares and sips her coffee.
Michiru then notices Kensuke with Christina, "Hey, that's Christina with that Kensuke boy."
Haruka then comments of remember something, "Heard some alternate counterparts of ours tried to kill him. Even I think that's extreme."
"Though, he can be reckless from what I've heard. He and the others did save us from the House of Villains incident." Michiru reminded Haruka about Kensuke's experience and the part when the villains took over the Puellas' party.
Haruka sighs in relief, "Thank god for that. At least Christina's happy to be with him, I don't mind him."
Not too far from where Haruka and Michiru are at shows the YuYu Hakusho characters, Kuwabara Kazuma & Yukina, Kurama & Kitajima Maya, Kuwabara Shizuru, and Hinageshi, a red-haired priestess girl tour around the area. Kuwabara cosplays as Napoleon Dynamite. Kurama dresses as Prince Baka from Level E. Yukina cosplays as Remilia Scarlet from Touhou. Shizuru dresses as Flandre Scarlet from Touhou. Maya dresses up as Uriko Nonomura (Bloody Roar). Hinageshi dresses up as Shampoo (Ranma).
"How do you like New York so far, Yukina?" Kuwabara grinning at his wife like a lovable goofball.
Yukina smiles, "I love it, Kazuma. I've never had this much fun!"
Shizuru smokes, "The reason I came here is so I can find a possible boyfriend, but no such luck."
"I'm sure you'll find someone, Shizuru." Maya said to her before asking Kurama, "Hey, Shuichi, you want to try some New York pizza?"
"Perhaps later." Kurama politely answered.
"By the way, we're glad you can join us, Hinageshi!" Kuwabara said to the red-haired priestess, "I know you're just a movie-only character and you can't possibly exist in YYGDM either, but still glad you showed up."
Hinageshi bows at Kuwabara, "I'm glad I could get out of that shrine once in a while. Thanks for the invite."
Just then, the group notices an attractive white-haired woman wearing a purple Chinese-styled dress. Beside her is tall, pale-skinned man wearing a dark tuxedo. Kurama is stunned to see the dark-garbed man, but everyone, including Kuwabara, are stunned to see the woman.
"Can it really be you?! Kuronue?!" Kurama emotionally recognized.
Kuwabara said in disgust, "Ugh! The dick woman! Tsukiyomi!"
"What do they want?" Maya pondered.
Kurama senses and deduces Kuronue's identity, "Yes, you're really him and not an imposter."
"Your senses are as good as ever, Kurama." Kuronue gives his congrats to the fox demon.
"Please don't refer to me by such a crude name, boy." Tsukiyomi scoffed and flips her hair back, "I was formerly one of the three Demon Priests."
"And you're not the only one, mother!" A female voice is heard.
Everyone turns and notices a white-haired girl with a braided hairstyle and wearing a violet Chinese-styled dress.
Kurama, Kuwabara, Maya, and Yukina all shout at the girl's name that they recognize her, "Yasha?!"
"Does she have a penis like her mom, Kazuma?" Shizuru asked her younger brother.
Kuwabara answers, "Nope, Yasha's definitely all woman."
Tsukiyomi growls at the compliment, "I am technically a woman, too! I only produce a dick from my magic!"
Shizuru sighs, "What the hell did I miss out on, Kazuma?"
"Crazy stuff." Kuwabara simply stated without telling the details.
"Never mind her, Kurama. It's been a while." Kuronue smiled.
"Indeed, it has." Kurama nodded to Kuronue.
The group then turns to notice Kurapika and Leorio passing by near them.
Kurama's eyes widen, "Could that be...?"
"Hey, it's two of those Hunters! Y'know from our creator's other manga!" Kuwabara pointed out.
"You mean, Hunter x Hunter? Wow, so this must be Kurapika and Leorio!" Maya said in surprise of seeing them in person.
Kurapika and Leorio turn to meet the Spirit Detectives.
"Finally we found you, along with some of your new people you're having?" Leorio greeted while being curious at the new guests.
"Yeah, these are new characters we met in a fanfic writer's crossover series." Kuwabara points to the female demon dog humanoid, "This is Yasha." Then he points to the busty 'futa' demon woman, "Uh... this lady thing is her mother Tsukiyomi."
"Thing? How rude, you naughty boy." Tsukiyomi scoffed.
"Anyway, the redhead priestess and the dark-haired guy with the tuxedo come from our second movie. Y'know the one with Yakumo?" Kuwabara said about the movie-exclusive characters alongside a filler movie antagonist.
"I have a name. I'm Hinageshi." The red haired priestess introduced.
"Kuronue." The bat thief refers his own name.
Kurapika introduces to Kurama with confidence, "It's so good to meet you, Yoko Kurama. I take my part in being a ruthless strategist for my goals." He sweatdrop and gives a nervous smile, "Okay leave the 'ruthless' part if you don't mind."
Kurama shakes Kurapika's hand, "Pleasure to meet you. You're a fine strategist like yours truly."
"Nice to meet you, Hunters." Maya smiled at the two men. "I'm Kitajima Maya. I'm now half-alien making me a Chimera."
"And leave me out last? I'm Kuwabara's sister, Shizuru." Shizuru introduced.
"And this is my lovely wife, Yukina." Kuwabara introduced the ice maiden to the Hunters.
"It's nice to meet you two." Yukina politely bowed.
On the other hand, Shizuru approaches Leorio to introduce herself. "Hi, you're a handsome man. My name's Shizuru. I'm Kazuma's older sister. I've been looking for a guy to hang with."
Leorio blushes before scratching his head and gives a meek smile, "H-Hey! It's not a problem, Leorio is my name and I'm the Hunter that's going to be a doctor."
(End Theme)
Elsewhere, the Digimon Tamers group is seen in a Mon Colle Knights theme. They consists of Impmon (YYGDM) (who dress as Mondo Ooya), Ai (dresses as Lovestar), Mako (dresses as Professor Ichiroubei Hiiragi), and Calumon (who dress as Rockna Hiiragi) are on a rooftop. Impmon has a fishing pole that he uses to reel in a slice of pizza from a pizza stand.
"Hurry, pull it in, Impmon!" Calumon cheered.
"Nab us the biggest one you can get!" Ai cried out.
"I hear New York pizza's the best!" Mako commented about the state's pizza.
"I'm reeling! I'm reeling!" Impmon said with his Brooklyn accent as he jerks the fishing pole forward, "It's a big one! A realllly good ol' whopper of a pizza!"
As he continues reeling it in, he and Calumon are surprised to see... another Impmon hanging onto the pizza slice! Impmon (DF-616) falls right on top of Impmon (YYGDM).
"That's no pizza, but another Impmon!" Ai said in surprise.
Mako's eyes widen, "Whoa, sweet! Two Impmon!"
Calumon gawks at the two Impmon, "But, which one is the one I know?"
The two Impmon stand and exchange glares. Impmon (YYGDM) gawks that the pizza he was trying to catch was already gobbled up by Impmon (DF-616).
"Hey, that was our pizza, ya jerk!" Impmon (YYGDM) angrily yelled.
"Pfft, ya snooze, ya lose!" Impmon (DF-616) laughs.
Calumon kicks Impmon (DF-616)'s shin, "Meanie! That was ours!"
Impmon (DF-616) cries out in pain, "Owie, owie, that hurt! Ya little punk!"
Calumon jumps and hides in Ai's protective arms.
"Drop the butterball or I'm shoving a fireball down his throat!" Impmon (DF-616) threatened.
"The only one calling him a butterball is me!" Impmon (YYGDM) shoots the other Impmon with a Bada-Boom, "Last warning, back off!"
Impmon (DF-616) jumps back, "Missed me! Pfft!"
Mako rushes over and uses fisherman pole to hook Impmon (DF-616)'s tail. The boy reels him forward and lets Impmon (YYGDM) jump him. Impmon (YYGDM) has his more devious counterpart pinned down. Impmon (YYGDM) forms a fireball in his finger and hangs it over Impmon (DF-616)'s face.
"I think ya owe us some New York pizza, kapeesh?" Impmon (YYGDM) said in victorious.
Impmon (DF-616) surrenders to his counterpart, "Ok, ok, you win! Now get off me!"
"Say, you don't have a partner do you?" Ai wondered.
"No, what's it matter to you?" Impmon (DF-616) questioned the human.
"He doesn't have a partner." Calumon figures out something.
Impmon (YYGDM) figures out this Impmon's identity, "Ya must be my counterpart from that Ascendant's world, right? Hoo boy, don't we have a ton to talk about."
While Mako, Ai, and Calumon watch the Impmon talk, the mysterious Winter Soldier is seen watching over them. He turns and views Midtown Manhattan. All he could think about is another confrontation with Captain America. From a distance, he notices an otherworldly figure with horns on his helmet and carrying a scepter. It is none other than Loki (MCU).
"New York, I, Loki of Asgard, have returned." Loki (MCU) forms a fiendish grin.
(Cue Lacuna Coil – Lost Lullaby)
Somewhere within Midtown, a portal opens as members of a Japanese demon clan called the Demon Brotherhood pour out.
Former Demon Priest, Long (who is a humanoid demon with black hair and draconic features), is joined by his brother Kiryu (who is a humanoid dragon demon with gray skin, four sets of black spikes from his back, and is 7'6 ft tall), both are part of a demon dragon clan. Kiryu's Taiyoukai water demoness mate Cecaelia accompanies him. Also joining them are the other third Demon Priest that looks like a gorilla named Vigor. The other members which consist of YuYu Hakusho and original characters are Suzaku, Rando, Karasu, a small dragon-sea monster hybrid who is Kiryu/Cecaelia's offspring son, and a cat demon named Loki Nekomata. Long is dressed as Toyotomi Hideyoshi. Kiryu cosplays as Tokugawa Ieyasu.
Long smiles evilly, "It's good to be back in New York."
"Only now we can enjoy ourselves and scare innocent souls." Kiryu grinned.
Cecaelia turns to her and Kiryu's offspring, "You can scare as many children as you want, dear."
The dragon-sea monster hybrid snickers with sharp teeth bared.
Loki Nekomata shudders, "That little imp of your scares me."
"All right, Rando and Karasu, let's raise some hell." Suzaku firmly said to his cohorts.
Rando gives a crude grin and channels something from YuYu Hakusho Abridged, "This time all of New York will know the greatness of my raps."
"Even if you're just ripping off other artists." Karasu shrugged.
Vigor senses a familiar presence, "Long, I sense Tsukiyomi, our former colleague is here."
"We can pay her a visit first then." Long suggested of their traitor.
Three Duelists and a reformed Rajita: Joey Wheeler, Mai Valentine, Serenity Wheeler, and Morpheous walk past several shops. The two couples stand together for a group photoshot. Joey cosplays as Booster Gold (Justice League Unlimited). Mai comes dressed as Stargirl (Justice League Unlimited). Serenity cosplays as Tracy Simmons (Justice League Unlimited). Morpheous uses his metamorph power to become Meleoron of the Chimera Ants from Hunter x Hunter.
"On three! 1... 2... 3! Brooklyn Rage!" Joey snaps a picture of him and Mai together.
Mai comments, "Brooklyn rage makes sense since we are in Midtown Manhattan."
"New York is bigger than I thought." Serenity said of her first experiences.
"How about we take a picture together?" Morpheous suggested.
"Sure!" Serenity nodded.
Joey explains, "Morpheous is so lucky he has shape shifting powers. He looks exactly like Meleoron from HxH, it ain't funny."
Serenity and Morpheous take a picture together.
"Lucky him. Hey, let's go check out Fifth Avenue!" Mai said to the group.
"Sure thing. C'mon, Serenity and Morpheous!" Joey said to the two.
"Coming!" Serenity followed her brother with Morpheous.
Unbeknownst to the Duelists, a portal opens and out of comes the other Taiyoukai Eight members. They consist of Draco (a dragon demon), Relam (a falcon demon), Tokage Keroro (a bat-frog hybrid), Shishi (a Shisa demon), Yeti (an Abominable snowman demon), Madeira (a demonic tree), and Ironclaw (an armadillo demon). They have sense and follow the presence of Long, Kiryu, and Cecaelia.
Elsewhere, another portal opens up. Out of the portal, members of the Opposed Rajita emerge. They are reptilian humanoids that are supporters for Paradais/Rajita Warlords and their mission to commit evil deeds. This specific group consists of Babbi (a Yammy look-a-like), Vipris (a Nnoitra look-a-like), and Kitoss (a Loly look-a-like), in which these three look like Bleach characters.
Vipris sniffs the urban air, "Ack! This place smells!"
"Tough it out. We're gonna be out here for a while." Babbi stated.
Kitoss giggles evilly, "Oooh, we're gonna have sooo much fun tormenting some kids!"
Vipris could care less and states, "You can go torment kids. I have better things to do."
"Party-pooper." Kitoss sticks her tongue at him.
"Don't be surprised if we see our former colleagues, or the traitors as I like to call them." Babbi stated in a low tone.
Another portal opens up near their location. Out of this portal are members of the other Rajita faction ruled by Nagah called the Reformed Rajita. This group consists of Melancholia (a Ulquiorra look-a-like), Blitzkrieg (a Grimmjow look-a-like), and Wolk (a Menoly look-a-like) & DemiDevimon. Again these members except DemiDevimon look like Bleach characters.
Blitzkrieg pops his neck, "Damn, it's about time Lady Nagah gave us a day-off."
"Well, our friend, Mela, has been away for such a long time in the afterlife." Wolk explained about Melancholia from a past event, "Luckily we were able to revive him thanks to those magical Digicore things."
"And a dragon came outta them, too." DemiDevimon added about something of a deity coming out of those cores. "That one world is just Dragonball right down to the magical orbs and the dragon."
Melancholia looks around Midtown and senses the familiar presences of his ex-Rajita allies.
"We're not alone it seems." Melancholia alerted his group.
"What? Aw, damn. It's Babbi, Vipris, and Kitoss, those rejects that now serve Kaiser Ghidorah and Paradais." Blitzkrieg said in slight surprise.
Wolk frowns, "Great my evil sister's up to no good."
"You'll teach Kitoss a lesson, Wolk!" DemiDevimon encouraged.
Blitzkrieg then adds, "We know Ghidorah and the other two Warlords are here. And so is Nagah, she's out looking for someone."
"We'll keep an eye on Babbi and his cohorts for the time being then." Melancholia urges the group.
"And I know for a fact Varuna is around here somewhere! She owes me a rematch!" Blitzkrieg angrily yelled of a rivalry between them.
At the café, two Kuiper Sailor Senshi: Tyra Vanderbilt/Sailor Varuna (a blond-haired Amsterdam/Netherlands Senshi) and Helena Souza/Sailor Quaoar (a Brazilian Senshi) walk inside where Haruka and Michiru are in. Tyra dresses as Supergirl. Helena cosplays as Batgirl. Tyra suddenly sneezes.
"Bless you, Tyra." Helena excused her.
Tyra nods at the Brazilian, "Thanks, but I take this as a sign someone's talking shit behind my back."
"Who would do that?" Helena asked.
Tyra answers, "I've made a ton of friends, but also an equal amount of enemies. The one that comes to mind is that Grimmjow-wannabe Rajita freak."
"Blitzkrieg?" Helena mentioned his name.
Tyra growls about him, "Yeah, that jackass. If he shows his face, I'll rearrange it!"
"Please, let's not fight anyone." Helena calmed her lover.
Helena and Tyra take a seat in a table.
"Let's just enjoy our vacation in New York without problems." Helena convinced.
Tyra smiles and holds Helena's hands, "Ok, just for you. Now how about some mocha?"
"I'll just have some tea." Helena requested.
"Waiter, one mocha and one ice tea!" Tyra said to the waiter.
As the waiter leaves to get their orders, Tyra and Helena look at each other lovingly. This gets Haruka and Michiru's attention.
"How sweet. Doesn't this remind you of us when we were their age?" Michiru smiled.
"Sure does. I smell young love in the air." Haruka is reminded. "At least they're taking it slow."
Michiru smirks and chuckles, "Or, maybe they've covered all their bases faster than we've ever have."
"That may be true, too." Haruka sips her coffee.

(Cue Royksopp ft. Robyn - The Girl and the Robot)
Another portal opens in Midtown. But, this is a bigger portal that releases a behemoth. This is a demon Digimon lord named GranDracmon. Accompanying him are two humans with massive Digimon partners. They are Beyond (a young man with Paradox's blond hair and mask alongside wearing a black trenchcoat similar to Dark Zane Truesdale from Yugioh) & Paradixalmon (a Digimon that looks like a black and gray Dorbickmon, but has the Omegamon arms of ShadowMetalGarurumon and BlackWarGreymon) and Greil & Paradisomon. Behind them are shadowed figures.
"Kenny's here. I have a lock on his location." GranDracmon senses his arch-enemy's location.
"Let's all pay him and that Kuiper girlfriend of his a visit." Beyond gives his statement.
Paradixalmon gives a chuckle, "He'll be thrilled to see us."
Greil turns around, "Ok, you remember the cue..." Then, he gets slapped in the face by a woman walking forward wearing a dark bird's mask. She is the future version of Sharon Rivers/Sailor Charon.
"You don't need to remind me. I know why we're here." Future Charon scoffed before turning to the three ominous figures. "Now, my Time Deaths. Let's go ruin that ungrateful boy and his little prom queen's date."
Marching across the street is a group cosplayed as the Phantom Troupe from Hunter x Hunter. The group consists of familiar faces. They are a group of Sailor Moon and YuYu Hakusho antagonists and their cohorts. Sensui Shinobu cosplays as Chrollo Lucilfer. Itsuki dresses as Kortopi. Queen Beryl dresses as Pakunoda. Queen Nehellenia dresses as Shizuku. Rubeus dresses as Bonolenov. Esmeraude dresses as Machi. Jadeite cosplays as Nobunaga Hazama. Nephrite dresses as Uvogin. Zoisite dresses as Phinks. Kunzite dresses as Franklin. Sniper cosplays as Feiten. Seaman dresses as Shalnark.
The Spirit Detective and Hunter group notice this commotion.
As soon as Kurapika saw the Phantom Troupe cosplay group, his eyes turn red and become slightly enrage. Thankfully, Leorio calms the blond-haired assassin down.
"Easy there, Kurapika. Their not the real deals." Leorio reminded him.
Kurapika eyes then revert to normal and sigh, "I know, but I can't help but hate spiders."
"I see Shinobu Sensui, Itsuki, Sniper..." Kurama witnessed three of the Sensui Seven.
"And Mitarai?!" Kuwabara said in surprise of another old acquaintance.
Seaman sees Kurama and Kuwabara and greets, "Hey, guys!"
"And isn't that some of Sailor Moon's former enemies?" Maya sees the Dark Kingdom and two of the Black Moon clan, "Man, you don't see that everyday."
"Yeah." Yukina pondered.
As Ai, Mako, and Calumon watch the Impmons argue, they turn around to see two boys with a golden-furred Inumon and a black Renamon.
"Ah! Yusuke and Kazuma!" Mako mentions the boy's names of being so familiar.
"What? Yusuke and Kuwabara of YuYu Hakusho? Man, they've shrunk last time I recall..." Impmon (DF-616) commented by scratching his head with his index finger.
"Lamebrain, they're kids named after Yusuke and Kuwabara!" Impmon (YYGDM) corrected his distant counterpart, "Their mother honored those two for helping her through labor."
Indeed, these two young boys are twin brothers named Katsuya Yusuke and Kazuma.
"Ah, you brought ShineInumon and BlackRenamon!" Mako cried out to the boys' Digimon.
Calumon gives a cheerful smile, "Yay, Yusuke and Kazuma can play with us!"
Impmon (DF-616) looks at ShineInumon and BlackRenamon and becomes surprise, "Oh crap... aren't these the pups of the Renamon I..."
"Yep and I'd keep my mouth shut if I were ya." Impmon (YYGDM) interrupted and leered at Impmon (DF-616).
Impmon (DF-616) covers his mouth and stays on the pups' good side.
"There's been a lot of disturbances lately." BlackRenamon said in caution.
"Something's big is gonna happen around here." ShineInumon commented.
"Like what? Guess we'll have to keep an eye on things here then." Impmon (YYGDM) stated before announcing otherwise, "Ok, who's up for fishing for pizza?!"
Everyone raises their hands regardless.
Five women in the shadows come out of hiding. One has her sights where Kensuke and Christina are. The other four look toward the cafe where Haruka & Michiru and Tyra & Helena are having their dates. The fivesome giggle fiendishly amongst themselves.

Koreatown/Kunjip restaurant
Back at the Korean restaurant, the Kaiba-Kuhouin party is interrupted by the unexpected arrival of two strangers: Kaiba Gozaburo and Noah.
"Good evening, are we interrupting anything?" Gozaburo bluntly asked his estranged step-family.
Seto and Mokuba are both stricken with shock. The sight of Gozaburo and Noah shocked them.
"Gozaburo?!" Seto cried out in shock.
"No way, Noah?!" Mokuba remembered him back in the Virtual World.
"You know these two?" confused Lyn before she figures out, "Wait, Gozaburo and Noah... you told me about them before!"
Helio appears upset to see Gozaburo. "So you must be my step-grandfather. I've heard a lot of bad things about you."
"Who are you?" Gozaburo questioned before refreshing his memory, "Ah, wait, you're Seto and Lyn's little brat. Yes, I committed terrible acts, but your father drove me to the brink of insanity. I won't rest until he and his spawn are out of my way!"
"Kaibacorp would have been a dangerous arms dealer if it weren't for Seto taking over at the last minute." Arisa muttered.
"With 2 percent share off course." Helio added.
"What business do you want, Gozaburo?" Okina questioned the corrupted businessman.
"I'm here because I'm the man who you were supposed to do business with." Gozaburo answered to the Kuhouin head.
Noah eye rolls, "Oh, will you quit bitching, old man? Get over it."
"Sheesh, he still holds a grudge to now?" Sam questioned.
"That's really sad." Max sarcastically stated.
"Gozaburo, you're the last person I ever want to see again. Is there any point you being here?" Seto feels annoyed and glares at Noah, "And you? What ever happened to keeping Gozaburo out of my hair?"
"He managed to slip away from my watch?" Noah shrugs, "Don't blame me having to contain a stubborn vengeful man."
The agitated Lyn walks up and slaps Gozaburo's face much to his irritation, "You weren't invited here, asshole! To think you're supposed to be my step father-in-law! Seto's done more good with the company than you've ever could've dreamed of!"
"You tell him, sis!" Max and Sam both encouraged.
Suddenly, the Cybernetic Ghost of Christmas Past from the Future storms in the restaurant, much to the group's surprise.
"Kaiba! I come to rescue you, my son!" the Cybernetic Ghost cried out in joy.
The Kaiba and Kuhouin families are alarmed by the Cybernetic Ghost of Christmas Past from the Future's unexpected entrance. Helio and Arisa watch in shock of what the robot said. Really, is it true?
Seto glares and gives a deadbeat tone to the Cybernetic Ghost, "Oh, it's you again."
Gozaburo retorts to the Cybernetic Ghost, "You're not his father! I am!"
"Correction you're Seto's stepfather, you twit. And second, you're toast." Noah said to Gozaburo.
During the confusion, Amaya, Daiki, and Helbot storm the restaurant to find Max and Sam. They find the Stromberg brothers.
"Max!" Amaya hugs him in relief, "We've been looking all over for you!"
"Amaya!" Max replied back.
Sam wonders, "Where's Koori?"
"She's in Time Square with her family. You have a chance to go see her." Amaya answered to Sam.
"By the way, we followed that guy in here." Daiki points to Cybernetic Ghost, "He says he's Kaiba's father."
"Hard to believe, huh?" Sam shrugged about it.
"Not really. Seto can be kinda cold and robotic." Max commented about Seto's identity.
"C'mon, you want to see Koori?" Amaya offered.
Sam nods, "Yes, I do."
"No time to lose. You can tell 'em you're off to see Koori. They'll understand..." Daiki said about the others in the restaurant.
"Go on, Sam. You and Max go have fun. We'll deal with the rest here." Lyn encourages her brothers.
"Thanks, sis!" Max and Sam both said before heading off to leave with Amaya, Daiki, and Helbot.
"See you later, guys!" Mokuba waved.
Helio smiles, "Nice meeting my uncles Max and Sam."
"I love you, son!" the Cybernetic Ghost cried out in joy to Kaiba Seto.
"Augh!" Seto gets freaked out by Cybernetic Ghost.
Lyn has never felt confused in her whole life, "Seto, you've got a lot of explaining to do."
Greenwich Village/New York University/Birthday Massacre Concert
(Cue The Birthday Massacre - Beyond)
At the Birthday Massacre concert in Greenwich, a whole lot of NYU students and from other colleges came to see the band playing one of their songs. One of the groups is Ford finally made it to this location.
"Finally, we're not too late aren't we?" Ford wondered about the timing.
The Caucasian Man answers to the Thai-American, "No, it's still on time."
Ford then hears the song, "Oh, I hear their playing one of the songs from the Superstition album."
Jessica finds herself enjoying Birthday Massacre, "Oh, I've heard this song before."
At another part of the audience, the Tennouzu Classmates/Attack on Titan group are seeing the band. The Survey Corp never have the chance to see a live performance due to being busy fighting flesh eating giants until today.
"So these are what the Birthday Massacre band are like." Eren gets the feel of music that reminds people of the 80s.
"They sure are imaginative, Eren!" Hare cheerfully smiled.
"For what we heard, the band came from Canada." Yahiro learns some information about them.
"And they did songs for the art by blending in synth rock and gothic styles." Souta added.
"Interesting stuff." Levi simply stated.
"Woo! This sure looks great to watch!" Zoe cheered to join in the loud crowd.
Armin states, "That looks crowded with all these college people."
"I could not agree more, that's why I'm staying together with my friends here." Kanon said to Armin of not being separated from her classmates.

NYU Library
Ami is having a field day looking through all the books. Vega accompanies her and finds a few martial arts books to read. While the couple scours feverishly through the library sections, a dark feminine figure sets her book down and locks her eyes on Ami.
American Museum of Natural History/Outside
Outside of one of New York's well-known museums, an intellectual chimpanzee is seen climbing one of the buildings and jumps through each one for his curiosity to go inside the museum.
Wall Street
At the south area shows Wall Street, home of many financial markets. Somewhere in the crowd, they are excited to see Batman stoically wander. This is the Christopher Nolan version of the cape crusader.
Wall Street/New York Stock Exchange
Inside the huge trading floor of Wall Street's famous business positions, there are many workers having their day off to celebrate the New Year.
A visitor from Japan is coming to this place. He is the sole, infamous creator of the Sword Art Online server named Kayaba Akihiko/Heathcliff, in which he is waiting for two business partners: the owner of Industrial Illusions and CEO of Schroeder Corp.
Maximillion Pegasus is finally seen dressing up as Xion from Bloody Roar, he notices Batman coming in and calls Kemo over to accompany him.
"Well, well, if it isn't my old friend, Brucey boy." Pegasus gives a flamboyant smile to the cape crusader, "Oh sorry, you got your cowl and cape on. You're on duty I presume, Batsy?"
Batman grumbles a bit, "You don't have to get cute with me, Pegasus. Say my name right."
"Sir, it's Batman." Kemo corrected Pegasus.
"Can't I have a little fun, Kemo?" Pegasus light-heartingly said to him, "Your job is to stand around and be my bodyguard."
"My apologies, Mr. Pegasus." Kemo apologized.
"Liven up, Batman. How's life been?" Pegasus asked the bat-themed superhero.
"Well, I faked my own death in The Dark Knight Rises. Now I'm back to give people that ray of hope." Batman explained the ending of his own trilogy story.
"That's good. We all missed you. You working on that Batman voice?" Pegasus asked another obvious question.
"It's gotten better. I sound less like I'm smoking a pack." Batman answered about his acting.
"I look forward to you speaking the Batman voice, Brucey." Pegasus smiled.
Just then, two people named Siegfried & Leon von Schroeder meets with Pegasus and Batman.
"Long time no see, Pegasus and Batman! You both look marvelous as ever." Siegfried greeted.
Pegasus shakes Siegfried's hand, "Oh my, it's been a while, Siegfried my boy! And your brother Leon has sprouted so much!"
"Hello, Mr. Pegasus." Leon blankly said.
"Now that's what I call a polite response. Don't you agree, Batman?" Pegasus said to the cape crusader.
"Yeah, very polite. He sounds like he doesn't want to be near you, Pegasus." Batman seriously said.
"Come now, Leon's a good boy." Pegasus playfully shrugged.
Leon thinks otherwise, "Freak!"
Another man approached and joined in their conversation. That said man is Kayaba Akihiko who greeted the business partners.
"Greetings, Pegasus and Siegfried, and so do you Batman." Heathcliff greeted the three figures, "I'm here in sharing my former SAO project experiences with your Duel Monsters ideas."
"Well if it isn't one of my favorite business partners Kayaba Akihiko!" Pegasus greeted the MMO creator.
"We're delighted to hear you share your ideas with us." Siegfried stated about some topics.
"Your next project better not be as disastrous as the last." Batman warned Kayaba.
"Oh I'm taking a vacation from my death games Bruce Wayne, since I'm no longer doing those to begin with." Heathcliff responded and continues his statement, "Let Alfheim Online and Gun Gale Online take over in having their safe boundaries. At some point in the future, virtual reality and the real world will truly be one on a grand scale. Kaiba Seto did it once by merging the worlds of Digimon and Duel Monsters."
"That's wonderful to hear, Kayaba. I look forward to these latest breakthroughs. Kaiba boy would be intrigued to see this." Pegasus stated by this future suggestion.
This is a reminder of back in the early days of YuYuGiDiMoon, Kaiba did an ambitious project of merging the Digital World with Digimon and the Virtual World of Duel Monsters.
"Indeed, we're most interested in this." Siegfried has the same feeling.
"Hopefully not a complete disaster." Leon muttered.
Batman says nothing but keeps a close eye on Kayaba Akihiko. He's not entirely trustworthy of the creator of the SAO systems.
Javits Center
(Cue Blood Stain Child – Electricity)
Back at the huge convention center, Blood Stain Child performs one of their hit songs for their fans. Jack Atlas scowls and glares jealously at the band.
"Those damn blokes think they're so hot! Why don't we show 'em how we roll, guys?" Jack announced to his cohorts.
"You're thinking what I'm thinking, Yusei?" Crow asked the top duelist.
"I know exactly what you're thinking and what Jack's thinking. It's time we reunite our band and give these people a show!" Yusei said about a certain band they use to do.
The three find a stage to set up their band equipment.
"What are they doing?" Leo wondered.
"Putting their band back together." Akiza answered to the younger boy.
"A battle between bands? Oh boy, it's gonna get loud in here." Luna commented.
Elsewhere, a veteran agent named Phil Coulson walks over to greet TOM and the Anime Shield.
"Congrats on putting your own team together to reflect the assembly of other united herpes." Coulson said to TOM.
"Kinda following a trend and I wanted a team that parallels your Agents of Shield." TOM said to his originator.
"You got a great crew of different personalities." Coulson commented to the Toonami host's teammates.
Suzumiya Haruhi pokes her head in, "Yeah and TOM has a god like me on his side! Bad guys know to fear me!"
Coulson chuckles nervously, "Right... anyway, any possible new recruits?"
"I got my eye on a few talented individuals. One being Tsunemori Akane, the main lady lead from Psycho-Pass." TOM mentions the name of a futuristic police cop, "We're hoping to add her since she meets the qualifications to be a member of Anime Shield."
"Very good." Coulson nodded.
Elsewhere in the convention center, Hotaru explores and greets Sailor Moon fans. Unbeknownst to her, she's being watched by a dark figure who can't take her eyes off Hotaru.
At the same time, Lightning, Noctis, and Kratos are observing the battle of the bands coming alongside the Anime Shield meeting their inspirer.
"Now this should be fun." Noctis stated.
"Yeah, their going to go at it for sure." Lightning said about the band competition.
Just then, a young girl cosplaying as Serah Farron appears in front of the group.
"Hi, you guys look awesome! Can you sign my autograph?" the girl said to Lightning.
Lightning gives a warm smile at the offer and signs an autograph to her young and idealistic fan who dresses up as her younger sister.
"Thanks!" The young girl happily cried out before she runs off to her boyfriend who cosplays as Snow Villiers.
Kratos is feeling some warmth since the innocent child reminds him of his late daughter. The three briefly see someone dressing up as a polygon version of Cloud Strife in the original Final Fantasy VII.
Witnessing this, Lightning then changes to another topic, "Say, I was going to mention a new Dissidia game is coming to the arcades."
"Oh yeah, I recently just hear about it. I can expect the fans wanting me to be in it." Noctis said the obvious about the fan request.
"I can understand that, what's our new purpose about it anyway?" Lightning said about herself since her game trilogy concludes.
"Not to mention that Square Enix finally announce the remake of Final Fantasy VII." Noctis brought up this important topic going on ever since the original game was release decades ago. The long-time rumors are coming true at last that the gaming company is getting back its feet.
"It's about time, Cloud is happy to here." Lightning said of reminding herself as a female version of the legendary swordsman.

Chinatown
In the Chinatown district, the Chinese civilians and tourists are out celebrating shows and parades. The mainstream band, Linkin Park, are on stage putting on a performance for their fans.
Not far off from where the band is the entire DF-616 group, aka the Digimon Fusion Kai crew. The group consists of all the Ascendants (which are beings that are similar to Super Saiyans), the D3s (AU sons and daughters of the Kai Digidestined), and their allies. The group consists of Tai Kamiya & Agumon/Omega X, X/Max Kamiya (who is the AU son of Tai and Sora), Yamato Ishida & Gabumon/Metalla X, Kari Kamiya & Gatomon/Mystic Celesta X, TK Takashi & Patamon/WarAngemon, Dimitri Ishida & Faith the Patamon/Angemon X (the future son of Yamato and Mimi and plays the role of Trunks), Davis Motomiya & Veemon/Ultima X, Ken Ichijouji & Wormmon/Zodiark X, Sora Takenouchi & Biyomon, Mimi Tachikawa & Palmon, Izzy Izumi & Tentomon, Joe Kido & Gomamon, Yolei Inoue & Hawkmon, and Cody Hida & Armadillomon, Keke Ishida (AU daughter of Yamato and Mimi), David Motomiya (AU son of Davis), Tike Takashi (AU son of TK and Kari), Kara Takashi (AU daughter of TK and Kari), Sam Ichijouji Jr. (AU son of Ken and Yolei), BanchoLeomon, BW (A human version of BlackWarGreymon), Pikkan, Sonja (An artificial that looks like Android 18 only with black hair), Sheila (known as Seductressmon that she looks like Zangya), Jax (An artificial that looks like Android 17), Mummymon, Arukenimon, Meryl & Salamon, D-Reaper, Dorothy Kaimodosu & Avengemon, Athena Osaka-Ishida & PinkPatamon (future daughter of Dimitri and Karin Osaka), Juri (a AU version of Katou Jeri), and Rena (a humanoid AU version of Renamon).
The D3s themselves dress up as Gundam characters. Max dresses as Domon Kasshu from G Gundam. The remaining five are those from Gundam Wing. Keke is Heero Yuy. David is Trowa Barton. Sam is Duo Maxwell. Kara is Quatre Raberba Winner. And Tike is Chang Wufei.
"Man, take a look at Chinatown, guys! This is surreal!" Tai (Kai) said in amazement.
"Karin will catch up with us later, guys." Dimitri said about his girlfriend's whereabouts, "She had to be with the other YYGDM leaders for now."
"Yeah, momma will come here when she's ready." Athena stated.
"It's ok, Dimitri. We have all night, right?" Agumon (Kai) said to Tai (Kai).
Tai (Kai) responds to his partner, "You bet! Besides, I'm freaking hungry! Let's make raid the best Chinese restaurant we can find!"
Mimi (Kai) points out smiling, "Oh, I know one!"
"Do you?" Yamato (Kai) raised an eyebrow.
"Well, duh, I did live in New York for a brief time!" Mimi (Kai) reminded the group.
"Well show us!" Davis (Kai) cried out.
Sonja mutters, "Great, we're gonna be watching you Ascendants stuff yourselves like pigs."
"Hey now, not all of us are pigs." Keke glares at Max.
"What?! Hey, I can't help it if my stomach grumbles! All that training can work up an appetite!" Max sees Keke giving him the 'look', "Sheesh don't do that." He puts on his X mask and his X persona wises him down, "All right, show the way, Mimi."
BanchoLeomon's ears twitch as he senses a cluster of strong Kis in one area.
"Something up, kitty cat?" Sheila asked in being curious.
BanchoLeomon wisely answers, "I'm sensing strong powers akin to ours, but they're not malevolent."
"I sense them, too." Kari (Kai) feels the energies.
Gatomon (Kai) adds, "Yep, they're good energies I'm sensing."
Suddenly, Tai (Kai)'s eyes widen as he exuberantly laughs.
"Tai?" Sora (Kai) looks at him.
"Guys, you're not going to believe who's here! X, it's really them, isn't it?!" Tai (Kai) cried out in excitement.
The fateful meeting between them is coming.
"Yeah, like we've pre-arranged." X nodded at Tai (Kai) before facing the destined pathway, "Guys, we're about to be graced by the presence of our predecessors. Our originators."
Next Part: Festivities of Manhattan (Part IV)
A/N: Shu and the other main Guilty Crown characters didn't appear, but at least more sub-plots and characters (such as the Gundam Meisters) keep you handy, alongside Arisa and the Tennouzu classmates appear.
A lot of the Hunter x Hunter cosplays connect my experience that I saw lots of them this year's Anime Boston due to the anime recently ended.
There is mention of Akane Tsunemori from Psycho Pass to appear in this crossover, in which she plays a role similar to Skye from Agents of Shield. Supercell did do the songs for that anime besides Guilty Crown.
Lightning and Noctis mention the recent things with the new Dissidia game and the remake of Final Fantasy VII at last. Oh my goodness, I seriously want a PS4 to play this alongside Kingdom Hearts III and Final Fantasy XV! Square Enix is getting back on their feet once again, so long as they don't troll us. :P
For readers of Digimon Fusion Kai, this chapter ends on a cliffhanger that these characters and OCs making their first appearances are going to meet their inspirers, the Dragonball Z characters.
