A/N: And here I am! With a new chapter! My head is loaded with new ideas and I can't wait to get them all out but first I need to do this fic first before anything.
Now to answer some reviews:
threedogsdead - you're correct! I based Juugo Yama's fighting skills from the one and only Nathan Drake, both physical and mentally.
Jason2018 - glad you like it! But here's a question for you, is Mato and Black Rock Shooter are one in this fic or BRS is roaming free out there somewhere?
And for those who figure out who's the mystery girl, please refrain from revealing her even if you already knew who she is.
That's that! And let's get this chapter started.
-ZeroTopia-
AWA Academy, Dimensional Gateway Lobby
Thanks to the current on-going missions, the Dimensional Gateway Lobby is a lot busier and a lot hectic. Students who are not part of the missions would have to wait to use the gateways to get home because by every minute, students who've partake in missions would come out every now and then.
Meanwhile, some students would hang out in the school park while waiting for the lobby to lighten up, students who've finished their missions would also go there to relax.
Case in point are this two, as we see Rex and Jet in a cafe sitting in one table waiting for their orders.
"Man, who knew the lobby would get packed up like that, guess the missions are lot more than we expected." Rex stated as he placed his goggles down.
Jet looks out from the cafe's window, "Yeah." he agreed before turning to the Evo, "You think we can go home with students this many waiting for the lobby to light up?" he asked.
Rex groaned, "I say we'll be here till tonight." he replied.
Then Mai arrived with a tray of cake and coffee, "Here's your orders." she said as she placed the
Rex smiled at her, "Thanks Mai, this looks good." he commented with a wink.
Mai giggled, "Well we made it extra special since both of you came back here from a tiring mission, so please enjoy them." she said before leaving.
The Evo turns to Jet with a sly smirk, "She's a really beauty ain't she, 'ese." he said.
The DICE agent gave him a blank look, "You better not cheating on Circe, I warn ya." he warned.
Rex raised his hands in defense, "I was joking hermano, but seriously she's a real beauty." he said with a smirk.
Jet rolled his eyes as he took a fork a began eating his cake, prompting for the Evo to do the same. As the two are eating Juugo came in the cafe, he looks around and smiled upon seeing the two.
"Hey Rex! Jet!" the treasure hunter called out earning their attention.
Rex smirked, "Well if isn't it our resident treasure hunter, how's it going!?" he greeted as Juugo came over to their table.
"Nothing much! Just got back from our mission as well taking Oga in the infirmary." Juugo replied as he took a seat.
Jet looks at him in surprise, "Oga got injured?" he asked.
The treasure hunter waves his hand, "Nah! The delinquent got a headache he obtained from the party, he's currently resting." he explained.
"Geez! If he had headache, he could have just back out from the mission." Rex said in disbelief.
"He tried but his classmate forced him to continue, don't know what's her deal." Juugo said.
Jet took another bite of his cake, "Anyway, where are Mato and Akane? Weren't they with you in your mission?" he asked while Rex took a sip of his coffee.
Juugo chuckled, "The girls decided to work overtime to help this girl named Kanonno get back to her home world." he answered.
Upon hearing Kanonno's name, Rex spits out his coffee before turning to Juugo, "Wait! You met Kanonno?" he asked as he wiped his mouth.
"You know her?"
"Know her? We met her back from Gotham City." Jet piped in with a smile.
Juugo chuckled again, "Well would you look at that! The universe is a lot smaller than we expected." he joked.
"It really does." Rex said sarcastically.
"Something wrong, Rex?" Juugo asked.
Before the Evo could answer, Jet beat him to it, "Rex got a not so good first impressions with her." he said with a blank look as Rex glared at him.
"Why?"
"Rex mistaken her for an enemy because she suddenly came outta nowhere until she explained her situation with us." the redhead said, "And he acted like a jerk that he is at her and didn't even apologize." he added jabbing his thumb at Rex.
The treasure hunter gave the Evo a disapproving look, "Rex...when I first met her I didn't believe her but after looking through my crystal and finding out that she's telling the truth, I quickly apologized to her, why didn't you?" he stated.
Rex groans, "All right! All right! I know that was really rude of me but I just don't like getting corrected for my mistakes." he reasoned.
"Dude! We all make mistakes but we need to face our mistakes in order to get over it." Jet explained as he took another bite of his cake.
The Evo sighed, "All right...if I ever meet again I'll apologize to her." he said.
Juugo smiled, "Good." he said then Mai arrived, "Hey there, Mai-chan." he greeted the maid.
Mai giggled, "Good day Yama-san! I guess you just came back from your mission." she deducted.
Juugo chuckled, "You got that right! Anyway, I would like to order a chocolate cake and green tea, please." he said with a wink.
The maid giggled again, "Certainly." she replied before leaving.
The treasure hunter watches her leave with a sly smile before turning back to the boys whom are looking at him with blank looks, "What?" he asked.
Jet sighed, "I think we should really get that maid obsession of yours fixed. You know you already got fooled twice because of that." he said.
Juugo groans, "Uhh...don't remind me." he said.
"Just like I said earlier, Mai-chan is a real beauty." Rex commented as he took a sip of his coffee.
Juugo gave him a thumbs-up which the Evo responded with another thumbs-up while Jet sighed at them.

-Alternate Earth 005-
In an alternate Earth that is overrun with mutated nano-machine-beasts called Filth Monsters or Contaminoids, humanity is forced to live in large mobile cities called Regios and learn how to use weapons called DITE and harnessing the power of KEI to defend themselves. However, the truth is that these people lost in an alternate reality caught between struggling as pawns of the founders of this space and those trying to destroy it. Only upon its destruction got everything reverted back to the real world. However, as many generations have passed since the creation of the world, the inhabitants of this world naturally has to fight for their lives.
In one barren wasteland which is really devoid with a life, a strange vortex appears out of nowhere and coming out from said vortex are a newly made trio of Kanonno, Mato and Akane. As Akane came out last, the vortex quickly vanished while Mato looks around.
"Is this your home world, Kanonno?" Mato asked.
Kanonno looks around before shaking her head, "Close...but no." she replied.
"This makes the fifth time, how long will it be until we get to your world!?" Akane stated.
The pink head sighed, "I don't know but I just hope that it doesn't take much longer." she said.
Mato puts a hand on her shoulder, "Don't worry, I'm sure we'll get to your world." she said with a reassuring smile.
Kanonno smiled back at her, "Thank you." she replied.
"Since we're here anyway, what should we do?" Akane asked.
"I think we should find members of your organization that are assigned in this world and maybe give them a hand." Kanonno suggested.
Mato nodded, "I think that's a good idea." she said before turning to Akane, "Akane, would you please." she said.
The redhead nodded as she closed her eyes to concentrate.
"What is she doing?" Kanonno asked.
"She's doing a Soul Perception." Mato replied.
"Soul Perception?"
"It's a unique ability Akane learned as of lately, Soul Perception haves the ability to sense living souls even from a far, with this ability we can track down other people." Mato explained.
A minute later Akane opens her eyes with a big smile on her face, "Found three of them!" she chimed, "They're over there!" she said pointing in the West.
Mato nodded, "And that's we're we going." she said as the trio started to walk.
As they trek the wasteland, the girls can help but feel the sense of dread and shallowness of the place, they were lucky that sky is cloudy making their search easier without the sun slowing them down but the eerie atmosphere eventually got them on their toes.
"I know wastelands tends to be eerie but isn't this place over the top." Akane commented.
Mato looks around, "Something must have happened in this world, I don't know what it is but I gotta feeling it's not pleasant." she stated.
"Do you think a war might have broke out or something more?" Kanonno asked.
"If I had to guess...probably something more." Mato replied with a gulp.
Akane then turns to them, "That's weird...where are the others, they should be here in this direction." she said.
"They could be hiding from the enemies, they're on a mission after all." Kanonno deducted.
Suddenly the girls stopped on their tracks when they saw a shadow looming over them, the trio slowly looks back with nervous faces as they saw a tall shadowy figure in front of them, arms raised up high with a blade on it's hand.
"I GOT YA NOW YOU UNWANTED VISITORS!" it yelled.
"KYAAAAHHHH!" the girls screamed in fright while closing their eyes.
The figure stopped his attack upon hearing their scream, "What the? Redhead!?" it exclaimed.
Upon hearing her somehow insulting nickname, Akane opens her eyes to see a familiar person in front of them, "B-Buggy!?" she said.
The other girls opened their eyes when Akane spoke, Kanonno look in front of her to see a very odd person. The person is a slim, yet muscular man with blue hair tied in a ponytail. His face is covered with make up, with a big red nose, red lips, a crossbones marking on his forehead and two black lines going down his eyes. He wears a big red & white, striped tricorn, light green pants with a red sash and black boots. He also wears a big, red cloak crapped around his shoulder. This is Buggy the Clown.
"Buggy-san! What are you doing here?" Akane asked the obvious.
"I was gonna ask the same thing!" Buggy said back.
"Hey Clown! Did find something!?" another voice called out.
Buggy and the girls turn to their left to see another man coming to them. The man is rather tall with a strong, heavily scarred muscular frame, he has a short black hair with pointy spikes, brown eyes with the right eye closed and a scar crossing the bridge of his nose. He wears a dark full body armor and steel boots with a gray ragged cloak crapped around his upper body. This is Guts.
"Not something, it's someone." Buggy replied bluntly.
Guts made a surprised face upon seeing the girls especially one that he recognized, "Akane, what are you doing here?" he asked.
Akane chuckled sheepishly, "There's a story for that." she said.
Then Akane then proceeds to tell the two adults everything, from meeting Kanonno, explaining Kanonno's problem and joining her in her quest.
"And that's all of it." she finished.
Buggy rubs his big red nose in annoyance, "Great! We got another victim of a stray portal...during our missions of all times." he said sarcastically.
Guts despite his stoic facade can't help but to sympathize the pink head, "I guess it's been a tough journey for you." he said.
Kanonno sighed in sadness, "Really hard." she said.
Guts then placed a hand on her shoulder surprising her, "Do not feel bad young lady, I can see that you're a great fighter and I know you can pass through this ordeal, you just have to keep moving forward and brave through all the challenges that is thrown at you." he said.
Surprised from his words, Kanonno can't help but smile from his advice, "Thank you." she replied.
"Since when did you learn giving moral support." Buggy asked bluntly as he scratched his behind.
Guts sent him a blank look, "It's better than getting moral support from you." he said back.
Buggy scoffed at his response as he crossed his arms.
Guts then turn back to the girls, "But since the three of you came here in the wrong world, what are you gonna do now?" he asked.
Kanonno smiled, "We wanna help you fight against the hostile invaders on this world." she answered.
Buggy then let out a laugh, "Sorry kid! But the invader that armored guy and I are facing is too much for you." he gloated.
Mato gulped, "W-what is it?" she asked.
"Ooh...something that crossed between a human and a cockroach." the clown answered with an amused smirk.
"A Terraformars! A Terraformars is in this world!" Akane gasped in shock.
Guts nodded, "Indeed! As much I hate to admit it but the clown is right, this enemy might be too much for you girls to handle even you Miss Kuroi." he stated.
Mako nodded nervously as she turns to Kanonno, "Kanonno, I think it's better if we move on to the next world." she suggested but she no response from pink head whom has her head down, "Uhh...Kanonno..." she called out.
"I HATE COCKROACHES!" Kanonno lifted her head and let out a large yell.
Everybody including Guts was taken a back from her outburst.
Kanonno then grabs her broadsword as she swings her sword violently, "WHERE IS IT!? WHERE IS IT, SO I CAN KILL IT!?" she yelled in fury.
"K-K-Kanonnno! Please calm down!" Mato yelled as she tries to calm pink head down.
"Stop swinging your sword! You might her somebody!" Akane followed.
As the two girls are trying to calm down the furious swords woman, the two adults watches them from a far.
Buggy watches them with an amused grin, "Wow! She must really hate cockroaches." he said.
Guts sighed, "Perhaps she does." he said before turning to the clown, "May I ask how many of the invaders are left in this world?" he asked.
Buggy brought out his tablet, "Let's see...hmm...believe it or not, there's only one left." he replied.
Guts raised an eyebrow before smiling, "Is that so, perhaps we can have this girls help is out take out the remaining invader." he suggested.
Buggy scoffed, "It's just one! Why do we even need those sissies' help?" he asked in disbelief.
"They could use the experience if ever they face one of those in the future." he reasoned.
The clown scoffed again, "Whatever...just don't come crying if something happens to them." he said.
Guts turns to him with a serious face, "If that so, then I'll protect them..." he said as he grabs his right arm, "I'm not gonna let the same thing happen to them." he said.
Buggy didn't reply but he knows what Guts said meant.
Back to the girls, both Mato and Akane had Kanonno pinned down the ground as the said girl struggles to get out.
"Kanonno! I hate cockroaches too but I won't go too violent just to get rid of them." Mato reasoned.
"I think she's not listening to you." Akane said with a blank look.
Suddenly the ground began to rumble rapidly making everyone tense.
"Oh great...they found us." Buggy said sarcastically as he stood still with his arms crossed.
"Girls! Something's out there! Get ready to defend yourselves!" Guts called out from where he stood as he readied his oversized sword called Dragonslayer.
The three girls got up quickly as they readied themselves.
"Is it the Terraformars?" Akane asked nervously.
"Guts-san said something, so I bet it's different." Mato replied as she grabs her necklace.
"Then what is it?" Kanonno asked steadying her sword forward.
Suddenly several creatures shot out from the sandy grounds, it was a large leech like creature with red spots all over its grayish scale with horns and fangs, the creature are crawling towards them very slow with them permanently at their sights.
"What are those!?" Akane asked out loud.
Buggy turns to her with a confused look, "You don't know! Those are Contaminoids or Filth Monster called larvas, those are the local monsters that terrorized this world! We already learned this from biology class, don't tell me ya forgot!" he explained.
Akane gave him a sheepish smile, "Ehehe...I must have been asleep during that time." she said, in truth she sleeps in all of her classes.
"Seriously!" he shouted with gritted teeth.
"This is no time for arguing how Akane forgot about those!" Mato said as she transforms in to Black Rock Shooter.
Guts steps forward, "She's right! We must focus on eliminating those in front of us." he said.
Kanonno grimaced at the sight of the creatures, "Uhh...if cockroaches weren't enough..." she said.
And with that five rushed towards the enemies.
Kanonno, Mato, Akane, Guts and Buggy vs the contaminoids
"Nee Buggy-san! Is your nose real?" Kanonno asked.
"What are you talking about? My nose is real!" Buggy snapped.
"It's as real as a tomato." Guts commented.
FIGHT!
Despite the odds, this fight is gonna be a slaughter.
Kanonno rushed and is the first to strike, she quickly slashed one on the face, the crawling leech screech in pain before it stopped moving. The pink head was surprised that it died in an instant but she quickly shook her thoughts as she went swung her blade on another larva on its upper body it did damage but didn't die like the first so she ran in front of the larva and stabbed her sword on its head, killing it instantly.
"So the heads are their weak point!" she pinpointed before attacking another one.
Up above, Akane readies her steel boomerang measuring three larva below, "Naked Rang!" she shouted as she throws her weapon in top speed as it spins forward hitting the upper bodies of the larvas, all creatures screech in pain as the redhead was not done yet, as her boomerang came back in her hands then she quickly began to pour mana on her weapon before raising it high again, "Naked Rang - FIRE SPINNER!" she yelled as she once again throws her boomerang now covered in flames as it spins towards the larvas slashing them on the head however the fire also caused them to explode, ripping them to pieces.
And some parts almost hits Buggy, "Woah!" he said dodging a dismembered fang, "Watch it redhead!" he glared at Akane while waving his fist.
As Guts and Kanonno works together slashing through hordes of larva with their swords, Mato or Black Rock Shooter is busy shooting larvas with machine gun cannon from a far, "HAAAAA!" she let out a battle cry(despite her mouth closed) as she tears the larvas a part, she then noticed a larva slowly coming to her, she quickly rushed towards it and slashed it's head killing it quickly, another then appeared behind her ready to gnaw her but she quickly jumps over it with her body suspended in the air upside-down aiming her cannon at the creature, "Take this!" she yelled firing her cannon at the larva making it exploded to pieces.
Buggy on the other side is busy killing larvas using several blades hold by his fingers, "Take this you piece of shits!" he yelled as he slashed the head of a larva killing it quickly, then he quickly side stepped when larva appeared behind and he quickly stabs it on the head, "HAHAHA! NO ONE CAN BEAT THE GREAT BUGGY THE CLOWN! GYAHAHAHAHA!" he cackled madly as he stabbed another larva on the head.
Kanonno whom slashed another larva heard him, "Geez...he sure have an ego." she stated.
Guts stabbing a larva on the ground turns to her, "Just ignore him." he said as he rushed forward.
After killing another larva, the clown look to his front, "All right! Who's next?" he challenged. Suddenly, something landed behind him with a loud thud which made the ground rumble, the clown slowly looks behind to see a dark humanoid creature standing tall in front of him.
The creature is very tall with a dark muscular body, it has an oval shaped face with big round black eyes staring daggers at Buggy, it has a round cheek with a lips locked in a frown.
Buggy gave it a blank stare, "Well...here's our guest of honor." he said sarcastically.
In a blink of an eye, the towering creature gave Buggy a fast karate chop beheading him.
Kanonno's eyes widen in horror upon seeing her comrade got killed, "BUGGY-SAN!" she cried as she was about to ran towards the creature to kill it but was quickly stopped by Guts, "Let me go!" she shouted.
"Please calm down! The clown is fine." Guts reassured.
Kanonno stares at him in disbelief, "But that thing just beheaded him! How can he be fine!?" she snapped.
"I understand but like I told you he's fine, in fact why don't you take a look to see for yourself." Guts said as he pointed his finger forward.
Kanonno then looks back at Buggy and to her surprise, she saw his headless body running away from the creature.
"Woohoo-hoo-hoo! That was close! That was close!" Buggy's floating head cried as it floats away from the creature.
Kanonno stares at him dumbfounded, "What...when...how...which..." she blabbered.
Akane landed beside her, "Oh that's Buggy's ability that he got from a devil fruit just like Chopper." she revealed.
The pink head snaps out from her freak out, "Wait a minute! He ate a devil fruit!" she stated.
Mato then came to her, "You met Chopper before right, just like him, Buggy over there ate the devil fruit called the Bara Bara no Mi which allows him to separate his body parts and controls them independently." she explained.
"So...he's not dead?" she asked.
Akane giggled, "Of course not silly." she replied making Kanonno sighed in relief.
"Hey! You can talk about how amazing my abilities are later cause we got a Terraformar out there waiting for us to strike!" Buggy called out as his head reattached to his body.
"That's a Terraformar!" Kanonno exclaimed pointing her blade at the tall creature.
Mato nodded nervously, "Pretty scary isn't it." she said.
Guts looks around and realized that the larvas are all taken care off before looking back at the girls, "Okay, I know I said that the Terraformar is too much for you girls but I want you girls to assist me and clown out on taking this guy out." he stated.
Mato turns to him in shock, "What!? Are you sure about that!?" she asked.
Guts gave her a grin, "I want you girls to experience fighting this thing if ever you encounter them in future missions." he explained.
Kanonno smiled, "All right! This will be a good learning experience." she said.
Mato gulped, "Okay...I'll try..." she said.
Akane also gulped, "Never though I would be facing a Terraformar this early." she commented.
"Yeah! Then welcome to my world!" Buggy said sarcastically jabbing a finger at himself.
Guts chuckled, "All right, enough talk! Let's go and take this motherfucker down all together." he said as he readied his sword, "HYAAA!" he roared as dashed forward with everyone following him.
"I don't know if this is smart." Buggy chimed.
Kanonno, Mato, Akane, Guts and Buggy vs the Terraformar
Akane flew high in the air while aiming her boomerang at the mutated insect, "Naked Rang!" she shouted as her weapon spins very fast towards it's target, it hits it's chest but barely graze it, the Terraformar looks up at Akane before bending it's knees making a large jump high aiming to kill the redhead but he suddenly stopped it midair when it felt something touching it's bulging legs.
"Oh no you don't! You're going near that redhead!" Buggy yelled as his dismembered hands are holding it's legs, "YAAAA!" he roared as he pulls down the Terraformar on the ground with all his strength.
The mutated cockroach was pulled down the ground with a huge thud somehow making the ground to rumble lightly. While Terraformar slowly getting up from the ground, Mato suddenly appeared above it aiming her machine gun directly above it, "HAAAAA!" she roared as a continuous barrage of shot hits the creature pinning it down the ground all while creating a dust cloud obscuring the creature out of everyone's sight. Mato stopped her attacks as she landed on the ground while keeping her sights at the huge dust cloud.
Suddenly coming out from the dust cloud, the Terraformar came out from it as it sprinted towards Mato like an athlete despite the damage it got from her attack however before it can even come close to her, a blast it's neck making loose it's footings giving Mato the chance to sprint away from the muscular creature.
The Terraformar looks to it's left to see Guts aiming his cannon arm at it, the black knight began to load powder into the barrel before ramming the cannonball with a ramrod, "Take this!" he yelled as the cannonball flew straight hitting the creature in the chest causing it to stepped back.
Despite the damage it received, the Terraformar quickly sprinted forward Guts as said man puts away his Cannon arm while readying his sword. As the creature is in front of him, it quickly swung it's arms aiming to slice Guts' head with a karate chop but Guts quickly ducked down dodging it's strike before stabbing his large sword directly at it's chest, "Got you now!" he shouted as he ignores the green substance coming out from it's wounded chest.
The Terraformar despite the damage it received was about to swung another karate chop at him, "Oh no you don't!" Kanonno yelled as she sliced it's large arms with her sword, not technically sliced as the arm is still attached to it's shoulder but was a good move as it stopped the attack giving Guts the chance to finish it.
"GRAAAHH!" Guts roared as he pulls his sword off it's chest before swinging it on it's neck beheading it, the head flew over on the ground inches away from Buggy and Akane as Guts and Kanonno watched the body falls down the ground.
BREAK OUT!
Guts panted heavily before turning to Kanonno, "That was a nice save, I really appreciate that." he said with a smirk.
Kanonno smiled, "It's no pleasure." she said wiping the beads of sweat on her forehead.
Meanwhile, Buggy and Akane stares at the Terraformar's dismembered head with it's wide open eyes staring back at them.
"Uhh...I know it's dead but the way it stares at us makes me think it's still alive." Akane commented.
Buggy rolled his eyes as he walks away, "Then stop staring at it." he said.
Mato changes back to her original appearance before taking a look around the place, "Yikes! What a mess!" she stated as she looks at the corpse of the Terraformar and the larvas scattered around the area.
"Is that all of the invaders?" Kanonno asked.
Buggy then checks his tablet, "Hmm...yup! That's the last of the invaders, the scanner is not detecting any more foreign source in this place aside from the local monsters but we'll let the inhabitants of this world to take care of that." he explained.
"So what's next?" Akane asked.
Buggy shrugged, "Well you girls still needs to get pink head back to her world, me and gruff voice here are going back to ZeroTopia since mission is already over." he said.
Guts then thought of something before turning to Kanonno, "Perhaps, clown and I should come along and assist you in getting back to your world." he suggested.
This surprised everyone minus Buggy whom just sighed, "A-are you sure...but why?" Kanonno asked.
Guts smiled at her, "While you girls are capable of defeating different creatures but there are times that the situations are far too much for you to handle such as facing a Terraformar, so I offer our assistance if you ever get into another situation such as this." he explained.
"But who would report the results of this mission?" Mato asked.
Buggy scoffed, "Relax! We can do that once we get pink head back to her world, besides the headmaster isn't rushing us to finish our missions, so it's fine if our report gets delayed." he explained bluntly.
Kanonno smiled at them, "Thank you! I appreciate your help." she said with a bow.
"You should be! The great Buggy the Clown is helping you after all, GYAHAHAHAHA!" he said with a smug face as he laugh maniacally making everyone sweatdrop.
"Shut it clown! And find our damn vehicle, so we can go to the next world." Guts said as he he rubs his temples.
"Wait! You had a vehicle?" Mato asked.
"Yup! We brought a truck van here that we used to travel in different worlds!" Buggy boasted with a big grin which turns into a frown, "Unless we find it." he said.
Guts sighed, "I told you, we shouldn't turn the vehicle invisible." he said.
"An invisible vehicle?" Akane asked tilting her head.
Buggy then opens his tablet again, "It's just one of it's features installed in that truck by that damn blonde scientist that Vegapunk took in as an apprentice." he replied.
"Tsukuru-san really loves to make inventions." Mato stated.
"Tsukuru-san?" Kanonno asked.
"A friend of ours and another member of the alliance." Akane answered.
Meanwhile, Buggy is busy scanning the location where the invisible vehicle is parked, "Hmm...where could it be...hmm...aha! There it is! Disengaging Invisibility System...Off!" he said as he push a button on the tablet's screen.
On cue, a pink & blue truck van with a Jolly Roger logo on each side appeared next to a huge rock formation.
"That's a nice transportation." Kanonno commented.
Buggy gave her a grin, "Thanks!" he said as he heads towards the back of the van, "And oh, I forgot! There is another person who's with us in this mission." he said with a blank face.
Mato was surprised, "Really? Where are they? And why aren't they helping?" she asked.
Buggy opens the back door before gesturing his right hand inside, "Well, she could have been a great help if she wasn't craving for candies at a time like this, go meet her inside." he answered.
The three girls looked at each other in confusion before taking a look inside the back of the truck. Inside was a young girl is sitting in the middle eating candy with many scattered around her, the girl has a short black hair in a twin tail style and black eyes, she wears a black sailor uniform with a red side skirt and black boots.
"Kurome-san!" Akane called out the girl's name.
Kurome turns to them, "Akane-chan." she said with a smile but her face turned blank as she grabs her candies with both arms hugging them close to her chest, "I'm not sharing you any candies!" she exclaimed.
"Uh no, I don't want one." Akane replied with a sweatdrop.
Kanonno stares at the new girl in confusion before turning to Mato, "Is she always like this?" she asked.
"I don't know her that much but if I had to guess, then probably." Mato replied with a sweatdrop.
"Okay girls get inside the truck so we can all go to the next world." Buggy ordered in annoyance, the trio looks at each other before entering the back of the truck as Buggy closed it's doors.
Inside, Kurome gave Kanonno a blank stare making her nervous.
"Umm...nice to meet you, Kurome-san...I'm Kanonno Grassvalley." Kanonno introduced herself.
Kurome response was grabbing her candies again, hugging it in a protective manner, "Nice to meet you but I'm not sharing my candies to you." she said.
"While I like sweets, I'm not craving for one right now." the pink head replied with a sweatdrop.
Outside, Buggy used his DTG to opened a large vortex, he quickly went inside the driver's seat with Guts sitting in the passenger seat, "All right! Next stop to whatever." he stated.
Buggy took the wheel and drove the truck van directly inside the vortex which quickly closed upon entering. Suddenly another vortex appears out of nowhere, out comes the mystery girl.
"All right! I'm here!" the girl cheered triumphantly , "Prepare yourselves for a..." she stopped talking the moment she sees no one is present and the monsters are already defeated, "Wait a minute...is the fighting over already?" she asked to no one in particular, "Oh come on! How come I can't get in action!?" she complained.
Better get on the next scene.
"Wait! You're changing scenes already!? Come on, I just got here! And you haven't introduce me yet!?" she cried.
Again...next time.
"NOOOO!"

-Luminasia-
Unnamed Forest
Back in Kanonno's homeworks, we go back to the same forest where she disappeared. Both Marta and Cheria are still visibly shaken from Kanonno's sudden disappearance, Tears is calm but is also worried for her friend. The three are standing at the same spot where Kanonno disappeared along with two more person.
The first person was a tall, middle-aged man with light brown hair similar to Tears which is tied in a spiky ponytail. He wears a gray uniform underneath a white mantle with black linings, white pants and gray steel boots. This is Van Grants, the older brother of Tears.
The second person a young woman. She has a short black hair and has brown eyes. She wears a blue & white ushanka hat on her head, she wears a tight-fitting dark bodysuit underneath a blue long-sleeved jacket, a short cape craps over her jacket and blue high-heeled boots. This is Chloe Valens.
"Is this where young Kanonno disappeared?" Van asked as he faced his distraught sister whom nodded at him.
Chloe put on a thinking face, "Is there an artes that has the ability to make a person disappear?" she asked.
Van shook his head, "Aside from teleportation, it's possible but to be honest this is the first time that I encounter a situation like this and I'm definitely not thrilled that young Kanonno was the victim." he explained with a frown.
Chloe sighed solemnly, "Ange-san is not gonna like this once she heard about Kanonno's disappearance." she stated.
Tears turns to her, "We all do." she said.
Marta then spoke, "So what are we gonna do!? How can we find Kanonno!?" she asked with her eyes begging for a solution.
Tears puts a hand on her shoulder, "Please calm down Marta, we're all worried but we need to think carefully about the situation." she calmly reasoned.
"But that thing took her somewhere! I'm really worried to where she is, right now!" she cried.
"I understand your worries but Tears is right, we need to think carefully of this situation before we can make a move." Van explained.
Marta took a deep breath, "Right." she said softly.
Van nodded before speaking again, "Now what is it that you saw that cause young Kanonno to disappear?" he asked.
Cheria then spoke, "She was standing here when a pink colored rune appeared below but I don't know if she was pulled down by something or she was sucked in." she answered.
Van puts a hand on his chin, "A rune? Very odd." he commented.
"You people must be talking about a stray portal base from the description that girl said." a voice said.
Upon hearing an unfamiliar voice, everyone tensed up as they look at the direction where the voice came from.
Chloe draws her sword out, "Who's there!? Show yourself!" she demanded.
Suddenly a very tall muscular young man came out behind a tree. The young man has a slicked back, spiky blonde hair, blue-gray eyes and a lightning bolt shaped scar on his right eye. He wears a sleeveless, black-colored muscle shirt with a turtleneck collar underneath his black furred jacket, red pants and black shoes.
Both Marta and Cheria were intimidated by his looks while the rest remained on guard at the mysterious individual.
Van then spoke, "I never seen someone like you before." he stated, "Just who are you and what do you mean by a stray portal?" he asked with narrowed eyes.
"Are you the one responsible for our comrade's disappearance?" Chloe accused.
The young man smiled, "Pardon my sudden appearance, my name is Laxus Dreyar, a member of the Fairy Tail guild and also a member of the All Worlds Alliance and rest assured I'm not responsible for your friend's disappearance but I may have the answer that you need." he said.
And I'm done with the new chapter! You kinda wondering why the Terraformar can't make a single hit during the whole fight, well it's because everyone minus Kanonno, knows that a Terraformar can kill an individual with just one hit so everybody fought it without having giving it a chance to fight back.
Also Guts, Buggy and Kurome are joining Kanonno's party, I swear this thing is turning something from an RPG game.
This are the characters that debuted in this chapter:
Buggy the Clown from One Piece
Guts from Berserk
Kurome from Akame ga Kill
Van Grants from Tales of the Abyss
Chloe Valens from Tales of Legendia
Laxus Dreyar from Fairy Tail
Next chapter...Kanonno is back in Luminasia but she felt that something is wrong and what would that be!?
Until then paalam!
