Day 6: Part 2 Los Angeles, California

The Plan

At precisely 11:12 P.M., Pacific Standard Time, 13 heroes from thirteen different worlds appeared in Los Angeles, California, in relatively close proximity. At 11:14 P.M., Omega, the villain, appeared as well in the same city.

"I suppose neither of you have any idea what this city is?" Samus asked her teammates. Ben and Stitch shook their heads.

"Hey you! Girl in the blue suit!" Samus turned around, and Juniper Lee came to a stop in front of her. "What's the name of this city?"

"You don't know either?" Ben said. "This is weird. Who are you guys?"

"Juniper Lee, but call me June," she said. "My friends are Jake Long, and Ahsoka Tano."

Samus whispered to Stitch "Haven't seen a kind of alien weirder than the Ahsoka girl since I met the Luminoths."

Stitch thought for a moment, then shook his head, thinking about how weird Pleakly and Jumba were. "Meega naga Stitch!"

Ahsoka blinked. "Is that a talking koala?"

"He's not a koala, he's an alien experiment," Samus explained. "I am Samus, the boy is Ben, and the experiment calls himself Stitch."

June extended a hand. "How about we work together, until we can figure out where we are?" Samus nodded, and shook her hand.

Danny Phantom cut through the air like a missile and Sonic flew across the ground, avoiding everything in his path. The hedgehog poured on the speed, and got past Danny.

At least, until he ran into somebody, knocking them both to the ground. "Whoa, sorry about that," Sonic said as he stood up. He held out a hand, and helped up the person he had run into, who happened to be Sora. As Sonic looked at him, he couldn't help but feel like he had met the keybearer before, but he shrugged it off(1).

"It's alright, I'm used to getting tackled," Sora stood up, and brushed himself off. "I'm Sora."

"Sonic," the hedgehog said.

"Name's Danny Phantom," the ghost-boy said, who had just caught up with Sonic. "Who are the freaks behind you?"

"Hey! Watch who you're calling a freak!" Naruto exclaimed. "Naruto Uzumaki, greatest ninja in the Village Hidden in the Leaves!"

El Tigre rolled his eyes. "El Tigre, superhero."

"Yuna," the former summoner said simply.

"And the guy with the scowl and the scar is Zuko," Sora said, pointing at the teenager. Zuko glared at him. "So you guys have no clue what's going on either?"

"Other than that we're in a different world that our homes, no," Danny said. "And I only know that it's a different world because of Sonic. It looks enough like my own world. Though a lot quieter."

"This is unnatural," Yuna said. "There's a strange feeling in the air, can't you tell? Tension is building, and growing greater every minute that we're here." She looked over at Naruto, whose eyes were closed. He was sitting on the ground, legs crossed. He wasn't moving a muscle. "What are you doing?"

After a few more seconds, Naruto opened his eyes and stood up. "I was feeling the natural energy around us. There's a big source of chakra, about three blocks that way." He pointed down the road. "And then there's six dots somewhere that way." He pointed to the north.

"We should check out that big source," Zuko said. "Whoever it is, they might know something."

Thirteen heroes, walking together, came closer to a man wearing all black. This was the guy with the high power signature, high levels of chakra, and stood out in a vision from the Force. He turned around. "Ah, so the players have all arrived," he said. Omega grinned evilly.

"Welcome, heroes of many worlds!" he said theatrically. "This game that we have played for almost a week now is right at its turning point!"

"Who are you?" Ahsoka Tano asked.

"I am the game master," Omega said, "the GM, if you will."

El Tigre chuckled. "Somebody's been playing a little too much Dungeons and Dragons."

The villain ignored him. "My name is Omega. But you can call me, your opponent." He held out his hands, and the bench behind him snapped apart. The pieces flew through the air, into his hands, and bent back and forth, creating two broadswords. "I intend to defeat you all, before the clock strikes one in the morning." Darkness flowed into the swords, turning their blades black.

Each of the heroes drew a weapon, or got into a battle position. Whoever this guy was, he was causing the troubles to this world, making people miserable, upset, insane! And the thing about heroes, is that even if they aren't quite sure what's going on, they'll fight who they know is evil, and keep on fighting even if it means death.

Somewhere, a church bell rang. Midnight. Omega grinned. "The Seventh Day begins. The day that shall be forever recognized as that of my victory. For the past six days, I have consumed this world with misery, awaiting the time when I can fight you all, defeat you all in combat, then take this world in my grip. And with all of you out of the way, it will be child's play to take each of your worlds under my power." He brandished his right-hand sword. "Let the games begin."


Author's Note

(1) In the Cartoon "Sonic X" where Sonic and Co. appeared, there was a character whose name was Chris, who looks so much like Sora he could be the keyblade master's younger brother.

And yet another short chapter, I know. But in it, the heroes have finally come together, to fight for this world! You see more of Omega's obsession for game metaphors (or analogies? Which is it?). You see how Omega can control both metal and darkness--though that's certainly not the limit of his abilities--and you find out the bare-bones of Omega's plot. Remember, reviews are always appreciated!

????? -- Well, most of your questions are answered by the chapter. But thanks for reviewing!
