I actually updated quicker this time! Well, why I updated faster is because I'm now listening to DragonForce, this amazing rock band. You gotta listen to their song "Tomorrow's Kings-" link: watch?v=kLwKRwFa97E
IT IS GOOD! Anyways, enjoy the story!

Kiritsugu's POV
Kiritsugu Emiya dashed through the empty hallways as Kayneth yelled in a bloodthirsty tone,
"I WILL KILL YOU, MAGGOT!" Kiritsugu took out his Calico as he again used his Time Alter: Triple Stagnant to slow down his heart speed when he hid from those gooey silver spy worms Kayneth is using to find him, since these worms only can hear instead of see. In his time altered state, Kiritsugu heard the slow footsteps of Kayneth's traveling down in his direction.
"Hopefully," Kiritsugu thought, "Kayneth doesn't know I'm here. Just a bit longer…" When Kiritsugu saw Kayneth from the corner of his eyes, along with this massive orb of liquid silver that trailed him, Kiritsugu stepped out of his hiding spot and began shooting his Calico. Kayneth quickly reacted, his massive silvery orb forming a shield in front of him.
Kayneth began laughing, too distracted to see that Kiritsugu was slowly pulling out his trump card, a pistol known as a Contender.
"You fool, you've secured my victory! I guess I have you to thank for, so I'll make your death quick!" Kiritsugu finally pulled out the Contender and aimed where Kayneth's heart is supposed to be, smiling.
"Got you." Before Kiritsugu could shoot, however, there was a peculiar huge boom. Kiritsugu dropped his weapons, frowning.
"What was that-?" Kayneth didn't have time to finish, because a thing came out of nowhere from the sky, bashing through the house and right onto Kayneth, creating a huge explosion that sent Kiritsugu flying through the air.
Goku's POV
Goku knew he shouldn't have slept during the transportation. Because when he finally woke up, he found himself lying on top a huge pile of rubble in a huge mansion that was partially destroyed, some by him, others from something else, by the looks of all the holes in the walls.
"MY SPINE!" Goku hopped off in fright to see a blonde-haired man below him, surrounded by some silvery substance. The man's face completely contorted in pain.
"YOU-BROKE-MY-SPINE!" Goku's face paled at the sight of the man's body.
"Erm… Sorry?" Goku said. "Ah, hang on! Maybe my senzu… beans…" Goku's jaw dropped. All of his beans… are gone…
Oops.
Saber's POV
Saber found Lancer's eyes narrowed.
"My master," Lancer stated slowly, "He's in danger." Lancer glanced back at Saber, probably looking for a reply. Saber stared into the distance, before replying.
"Go save your master. After all, I was in your debt after you saved me." Lancer smirked, his eyes glinting.
"Don't get the wrong idea, I only saved you to preserve our chivalrous battle." Saber smiled.
"I know. I will await you on the battlefield." Lancer, without a word, turned back into a blue light before gliding off into the distance. Saber's eyes trailed Lancer disappearing form for a while.
"YAHOO!" A voice echoed through the forest. A tick mark appeared on Saber as the rubber man danced with the pink-haired man.
"THAT WAS WAY TOO EASY!" The pink-haired man yelled, pumping his hands into the air.
"Oy, Natsu," the rubber-man asked, "Where were you before?"
"Well," Natsu replied, rubbing his hair, "I was stuck in these tree branches, so I obviously punched them away and flew right up into the tress to sniff you guys out. I actually was going to trail Ed's scent when I saw your big foot come from a long distance. So I presumed you were fighting someone, so I rushed to the area to beat the crap outta people, obviously."
"I see," Luffy said, "Hey, did you smell my feet by any chance?"
"Of course, they smelled like piss… Why do you ask?"
"…Erm-"
"If I can have your attention, please," Saber stated. Her heart somehow skipped a beat when she saw the rubber man tilt his head sideways, exposing the front of his neck.
"Eh?" the rubber man rudely questioned. Saber frowned before she replied,
"I know the pink-haired man's name is Natsu-"
"MY HAIR COLOR IS SALMON-"
"-But I don't know your name? Who are you?" Luffy stared at Saber, before breaking into a cute grin.
"It's Luffy!"
"Luffy…" Saber repeated, before shaking her head.
"Where are you men from?" Saber asked. Luffy and Natsu both opened their mouths to speak but immediately shut them, both frowning at each other before looking at Saber.
"This will be a weird conversation for you," Luffy said as Natsu began their background story.
Naruto's POV
Naruto splashed to the surface, gasping for air. As Naruto looked around, he felt his clothes being soaked by some strange, liquid substance. Whatever it was, it was burning him badly. Naruto panicked, as he thought that the liquid substance could be acid. WHY would Ma'al throw him into his death, Naruto did not know, but he needed to get out quickly, as he felt his flesh being burned further and faster than-
"Oh, wait, it's just hot water," Naruto thought as he had come to realize that he was in fact in a hot spring. Naruto sighed. Of all the places he had expected to land into, this was the worst outcome yet. He felt like he was his old perverted master Jirayai, something he did not want to turn into when he became the Hokage.
"Hopefully," Naruto thought, wading through the now-soothingly warm water, "This is just a men's hot spring, and not a women's. Still, I have no time to relax- I need to find my friends immediately. I wonder where they are-"
"Where do you think you're going?" A raspy, thin voice whispered from behind him. He felt wrinkly, saggy sticks wrap his waist. Naruto froze, and then slowly turned around to see the wrinkly thing smirking at him. Behind it, more of those things materialized out of the steam, like Kirigakure (Hidden Mist Village) ninjas. Naruto gulped. Not only was he in a women's hot spring- it was an old women's hot spring.
"Come play with us~"
Soul's POV
Soul thought he heard a scream along with old women giggles, but he was so contorted by pain and focusing the man who aimed his death shot at Maka's face. Soul tried to move to protect her, but the pain was blocking out his senses. Maka closed her eyes, as if to welcome death.
"W-wait," Soul thought as everything went slow motion around him, "We can't give up! Our journey together can't end this way! Think, Soul, think-"
"INCOMING!" A voice shouted. The man turned around, frowning, and just as he released his force palm (which Soul thought missed Maka's head in his distraction) simply got kicked in the face by two combat boots. He smashed into a tree, and then slid down, his face contorted in confusion more than pain. The assailant got up, wiping off dust from his red cloak.
"E-Ed?" Soul weakly said, as he transformed back into his human form. Ed looked back and smirked before facing the man, who slowly got up.
"I…" the man said, holding his left arm with his right, "I can't believe that I got surprised attacked by a boy so small-" Tick marks appeared everywhere on Ed's face.
"Not only did you hurt my acquaintances…"
"-Only acquaintances?-"
"You-had-the-audacity-to-call-me-SHORT!" Ed roared, when a masked figure that was similar to the thing Maka killed appeared behind the man and whispered something into his ear. The man simply nodded, before turning his attention to the fuming Ed.
"Tch… I have no time for you," the man said, before turning away.
"HEY! WE'RE NOT DONE YET!" Ed yelled, clapping his hands and summoning an iron staff, before running at the man at full raging speed. The man responded by simply backhanding Ed back to Soul. The man then looked at the white-haired lady, his eyes narrowing.
"I'm not done with you yet," he stated, his voice barely audible. With that, he disappeared into the darkness of the forest.
"DAMN HIM!" Ed screamed, while massaging the hand mark on his cheek placed there by the man, "I'M NOT DONE WITH HIM YET! I SWEAR HE WILL FACE THE FULL EXTENT OF MY WRATH!" (A.N. - Big Bang Theory reference)
"Yeah, yeah," Soul said, spitting out blood as he finally recovered from the harsh beating of the man, "I'm sure you'll get revenge. But remember what we came here for. Right, Maka?" Silence.
"Maka?" Soul turned around to face his partner- and stopped as he saw the upmost terrifying thing he has ever seen. Never, until the end of his life, will this memory be forgotten, as he remembers permanently how empty he had felt when he saw that sight.
"Maka? Please…" Soul looked down at the soul wrenching sight of Maka Albarn.
"Wake up."
Cliffhangers. Cliffhangers everywhere. LOL, I think some of you will hate me for this. Anyways, I'm not going to be able to write anything this week because I'm going to Pittsburgh, so let this major cliffhanger sink in well. Please- REVIEW! (Just don't ask any questions if Maka's alive or dead- You'll find out in the next chapter. :D)
