(I wake up after the party)

Me Huh… No headache.

(I look around to see the damage done in the banquet hall)

Me: Whoa. Los Perdidos has got nothing on this.

Lucas: Ugh, my head.

Me: Now you know how I feel after a party. Did anything happen with my stories?

Yusei: Not really, but before the party started, Simon left. Maybe he heard the tracker find the Element of Magic.

Me: Good. I better get to updating.


Heroes Unite!

Chapter 11: Zootopia's Worst Nightmare, Part 4

Upon arriving in Tundratown after the sun sets, everybody felt the frigid air once they exit the train. "Ugh! Now I see why they call this Tundratown!" Luigi noted, shivering from the cold air.

"Have you been around here before?" Shadow asked.

"We've been here twice, actually." Judy replied. "We were solving a case of animals going missing."

"How many animals were missing?" Marinette wondered.

"14, including one Emmitt Otterton." Judy answered her.

"Took us two days to find all of them." Nick added.

"Whoa." Adrien said, astounded by the tale. "How were they once you found them?"

"Well, that there is the weird part. They were all savage when we found them." Judy replied.

"Speaking of things to found, we should be looking for Soul Calibur right away." Patroklos suggested. "Who knows what will happen if Nightmare gets his hands on it."

"Good idea. I say we split into teams of three and search every corner of the district." Judy agreed. "That way, we'll cover a lot of ground. If any of you find the sword or come across any information, contact us right away."

"Got it." Ivy nods as the heroes split into teams of three and begin their search across Tundratown for Soul Calibur. The teams are as follows:

Team 1: Scarlett, Ivy Valentine and Patroklos Alexander

Team 2: Judy, Nick and Sofia

Team 3: Marinette, Sunset and Twilight

Team 4: Adrien, Fox and Anakin

Team 5: Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie and Krystal

Team 6: Mario, Luigi and Applejack

Team 7: Sonic, Tails and Knuckles

Team 8: Shadow, Fluttershy and Rarity

Team 9: Slippy, Obi-Wan and Falco


The nine teams separate and start searching for the spirit sword, unaware that they were being watched by a reptilian warrior in armor and a Lycanthrope garbed in dark bat-themed clothing, complete with a wide-brimmed hat. They see what they wanted from atop the station roof.

"So those heroes are looking for Soul Calibur, eh?" The lycanthrope said "Well, if they want the spirit sword, they'll have to get past us." The reptilian warrior hisses in agreement. "You're welcome to take care of any of the others, Aeon…" His attention shifts towards Judy and smirks. "But leave the bunny in the uniform to me. Something tells me she'll make the perfect servant for me."

Each group asked the animals in Tundratown about Soul Calibur, but so far, none of the animals they asked has ever seen the sword or heard about it. After regrouping in Tundratown, Scarlett gave a smile and gestured to a few of the others.

"Hey, Marinette, Adrien, Patroklos, Ivy, Sunset. Could you come with me for a second?" Scarlett asked as the others followed her to a clearing. "Okay. Before me and Sofia were sucked up on this adventure, I told my boyfriend the Cobalt Warrior that I would help him recruit some members for his own team. And I chose you."

"Really?" Marinette asked as Sunset stared agape.

"Yes. You've more than proven yourselves worthy to join his team. At least in my eyes. It'll be a team like mine, only he's going to be the leader. A team consisting of powerful warriors from across the multiverse. Of course no two of them will have the same style. It's going to be completely up to you guys." Scarlett smiled.

"...I have nowhere else to go so I'm in." Ivy said.

"We shouldn't keep the others waiting." Patroklos grinned.

"Right." Adrien said as they returned to the others, but while they walked back, Sunset heard a clinking sound. She looks down and notices that she stepped on something in the snow.

"Guys…" Sunset spoke up as she brushed away the snow, revealing the crystalline sword. "Look what I found!" Everyone heard her and gathered around the sheathed blade.

"Could that be Soul Calibur?" Marinette asked. Judy pulled out the picture of the sword and compares the sword they found from the picture.

"Yep, that's got to be it." Judy confirmed as she picked up the blade. Just as she did, she felt a surge of power rushing through her body.

"You okay, Carrots?" Nick asked her.

"Yeah, I think so." Judy replied, feeling a minor headache after the rush of power.

"Congratulations on finding Soul Calibur." They hear another voice. Everyone turns to the roof of a nearby building and spot Aeon and the lycanthrope.

"More malfested?!" Patroklos scowled.

"Is that any way to greet royalty?" The wolf fencer smirked as he and Aeon leapt down and landed perfectly on the snowy ground.

"Raphael." Ivy sneered.

"You know this guy?" Nick asked.

"Ivy and I heard tale of the Sorel family. They cast one of their own out for murdering a noble in self-defense." Patroklos explained.

"And the one who did the deed was me." Raphael finished the tale, brandishing his rapier. "Now then, if you would be very kind as to hand over that sword, I promise to make your death quick and painless."

"In your dreams, Raphael! Soul Calibur will never fall into the wrong hands!" Judy argued.

"Have it your way then." Raphael said feeling calm but serious. "If I can't have the sword, then I'll just make you my servant!" Raphael and Aeon then began to attack the heroes. But before the battle could engage, three mystery figures landed between the two groups.

"Who dares interrupt us?!" Raphael scowled at the figures. The dust clears and the figures are revealed.

The left figure was a wolf in a dark purple sleeveless jacket with some chains attached to it. His two leather belts wrapped around his hips bore werewolf emblems, one displaying mooncrests and the other showing a wolf head. He's also wearing unbuttoned tight leather black pants. His boots and gloves are lined with fur. There's also a large mooncrest tattoo on his bare chest. In his right hand was a cross-like sword with three handles.

The right figure was a black panther with red eyes and white curled hair. She's clad in a gothic purple dress and stockings designed to resemble a moth trapped in a spider web. She wears an aubergine-colored hooded cape that splits down the middle. Her forefingers on her right hand are armed with elongated claw-like armor rings. Her weapon of choice is a mysterious crystal ball.

The center figure was a polar bear with a scar over his right eye in heavy black armor. In his hands was a zweihander sword with a flat end and a black lining in the center. Patroklos identified the trio almost immediately.

"Schwarzwind." Patroklos gasped.

"You know them?" Falco asked.

"Yes. They granted me the power to wield Soul Calibur and assisted me in finding Pyrrha." Patroklos explained. "The wolf in the jacket is Z.W.E.I., the panther with the crystal ball is Viola and the polar bear in the armor is their leader, Siegfried, who once wielded the spirit sword." Raphael scowled upon seeing the group of mercenaries.

"Patroklos, Ivy, it's been a while." Siegfried grinned, seeing a pair of familiar faces. Z.W.E.I. notices the rest of the heroes.

"These new friends of yours?" Z.W.E.I. asked.

"I'll explain later, Z.W.E.I. Right now, we've got trouble." Patroklos replied, drawing his sword. The three members of Schwarzwind looked towards Raphael and Aeon.

"These guys aren't much of a threat. Z.W.E.I.?" Siegfried motioned him to do his work.

"Say no more." Z.W.E.I. replied as a werewolf-like spirit with a mooncrest-shaped blade. Raphael stood his ground, but felt a small surge of fear run through his body.

"You don't scare me, foul peasant." Raphael glared as he engaged the wolf in combat alongside Aeon. Z.W.E.I. simply blocked every attack Raphael and Aeon threw at him.

"My turn." Z.W.E.I. said as he and the spirit unleashed a devastating assault on the both of them. Once they were done, Raphael and Aeon were badly hurt. "Didn't even break a sweat."

"I never thought you'd be here, Siegfried." Patroklos said.

"I was just as surprised as you when I first came here." Siegfried said. He notices Soul Calibur in Judy's paws. "I see you found Soul Calibur."

"Oh, this? We assumed it was somewhere in Glacier Falls." Judy looked at the sword. "We looked for hours but we couldn't find it anywhere. We were about to give up until Sunset here stepped on something. And that's how we found it."

"I see, but why do you need the sword?" Z.W.E.I. asked everyone.

"Perhaps we should explain on the way to Savanna Central." Fox suggested, motioning to the train.

"Good idea, Fox. They should know about this on the way to Downtown." Patroklos agreed as the heroes plus Schwarzwind proceeded toward the train.


After the encounter in Tundratown, Nightmare's loud bellow echoed through the dark area. "He did what?!"

"F-F-Forgive us, Master Nightmare." Raphael pleaded with fear. "He took us down with ease. We were unprepared."

"You are thankful I've decided to spare you." Nightmare said. "I've sent Mr. Dampierre to search for an animal named Duke Weaselton. His style of trickery should be a good asset for our mission."

"Oh, thank you, Master Nightmare." Raphael bowed in respect. "I promise you, the next time, we will not fail you."

"You better not, or you'll be one soul short." Nightmare warned them as he looked towards the moon, sensing that someone has their hands on Soul Calibur. "I sense Soul Calibur's essence coursing through a new host."

"You wish for me to handle this new host?" He hears a voice from behind him coming from a silhouette hidden by the shadows.

"Yes, but not alone. I shall accompany you." Nightmare said. "With my power and your tactical strategies, we will achieve our goals."

"Of course, Master Nightmare." The voice replies as the silhouette steps forward revealing Bellwether. In her hands was the cursed blade Soul Edge. "I'm coming for you, Judy Hopps!" A dark crimson aura courses through Bellwether's body as she holds Soul Edge in her hand.

To be continued…


Me: And done. Phew! It took me a while but I'm finally finished.

(I contact Simon on the digital PA)

Me: Simon, any luck on finding the Element of Magic?

Simon: (Over PA speaker) We've got a location, sir. It's in the realm of Sugar Rush.

Me: Sugar Rush, huh? I'll contact Vanellope and tell her the news.

Simon: Good idea. We'll need her help if we're to get all of the Elements of Harmony.

Me: Yeah. I'll see if Rancis, Kenny and the others can help. Be sure to stay in touch of you need anything.

Simon: Will do. (Speaker turns off)

Me: Sounds like I know where to go. Well, I better get this thing up and running before this old thing crashes again. You readers may rate, review and fav. Archer out!
