Journey Through Multiverses

Time For A Miracle : Remembrance

Meanwhile in parallel universe - Silver Heart's house

"Mr Silver Heart, you have to eat something, you haven't eaten in days…" sighed Hachi as he laid a plate on the table, "Qu- she wouldn't want to see you like this…" he slumped onto the sofa in depression; since Joker and his friends were assassinated, things were never the same for them, "I guess Mr Joker is disappointed with me now…"


"Hey Queen, how are you doing with afterlife so far?" Spade asked unamused, they were currently in the "ghost" version of their childhood home, he facepalmed, "I still can't get over the fact that we're dead," he gestured to Joker, who was currently pacing back and forth muttering curses, "neither of us can."

"Who can?" she raised an eyebrow, "I just miss grandpa so much."

Joker rolled his eyes, "yeah, wait a few more years and we'll meet 'em, we gave up the chance to be reincarnated for this? Yeah, and mostly we're worried about our next life being a normal boring person, maybe even a detective!"

"Not the time, Joker," Spade facepalmed hissing, "I thought… we could meet our parents here… but…" he bit his lip. Queen glanced at him and said, "they're one step ahead of us, death or reincarnation."

"Even so… being dead isn't that bad, right?" said Joker bitterly as he sat on the chair on the opposite of them, "you see things mortals can't…"

"What's the point? We're dead, we're immortal and, can't, fucking, die," Queen tapped her finger on the table as she said one word one by one. Yeah, dying really sucks, "and maybe we'll never see our friends again… depends on whether they choose to reincarnate or stay…"

"Knowing them they're bound to reincarnate," groaned Spade, he's actually surprised he met Joker and Queen in the afterlife first, since Queen was the first one to go. It wasn't a pretty sight when they found out that he's dead. Actually, Joker died to save him, his last words to him was make his sacrifice count, but now that's screwed.


"Spade, you had one job!"


"Sometimes I wonder if this is where we'll end up forever," sighed Joker as he gazed into the ghostly surroundings outside of their window, "but I guess we can go back tomorrow…"

"Once every year starting tomorrow…? I guess," Spade stood up and plopped himself on the sofa, "just have to wait…"

Joker sighed, "now I know how Phoenix feels."


"Ahh!"

Splat. Here we go again, take 7.

Before they even got up they can already hear yells of fear and shock, mostly from Hachi.

"Geez, what's wrong-" Joker lifted his head up to see Roko, Hachi and Silver Heart's faces all pale, "hey is there something on my face?"

"Y-y-y-you're Joker…" Hachi gulped, his voice and body both shaking tremendously, "h-how…"

"How what?" he asked, question marks were written all over his face, "what happened to me in this world?"

"You guys look like that you've seen a ghost," Queen sighed.

"B-because we did!" Hachi blurted out before he ran out the window, "ahh!"

The group looked at each other confused, Joker yelled, "can someone explain what just happened?! Hey Hachi, get back here!" he pursuited Hachi out of the window, the group followed suit, leaving a frightened Roko and Silver with harder grief, "Roko, are we seeing things?"

"To tell the truth… I have no idea," he sighed as a reply.


"Oh my god…" Joker gaped as Hachi ran to the deeper parts of the forest, where did that little squirt go? He thought in high annoyance, he hard faint voices, voices of someone talking.

"Y-yeah I know, I'm s-such a failure…"

It's Hachi, drive him to the ends of the world and he'll still recognise his voice anywhere.

"I guess you'll be so disappointed with m-me now aren't y-you?"

What the hell is he talking to? And what the fuck is he talking about?! Shadow thought. He's a coward that's for sure. But this… whatever.

This is creeping me out. Queen gulped.

What the fuck is going on?! Spade groaned as he scratched his head.

Someone give me three glasses of coffee, one to drink, one to pour on him, and one to wash my eyes out. Rose narrowed her eyes.

"You're really disappointed with m-me aren't you? And Mr Spade a-and Mrs Q-Queen too…"

"Dammit Hachi! I never blamed you for anything!" yelled Joker in the afterlife breaking the fourth wall with Spade pulling him down, "he can't hear you Joker! Get a fucking grip!"

What the hell did we do in this world?! They all thought except for the apprentice's, Shadow and Rose.

"Hey what are you doing?!" Joker couldn't take it anymore and delivered a "sure-kill-Joker-kick" at his face.

"What part of 'following' do you not get?!" yelled Queen.

"That is definitely not me," Queen in the afterlife muttered as Spade tried to get Joker to calm down in the background.

"The following part!" he yelled back.

"Get used to it! He's Joker after all!" Spade called out.

"Y-you're dead…" Hachi blurted out, "I-I watched y-you d-d-d-die!"

Now Joker was beyond confused, "what the fuck are you saying?" Spade and Shadow facepalmed, "we are in a different dimension you idiot!"

"Joker, how stupid can your other-self get?" Queen glanced at him who was facepalming, "I have no idea."

"Different dimension?" Hachi blinked his eyes and sat up, "you're alive… there?" Joker rolled his eyes, "why won't I be? Is… Joker here? I heard you talking to him…" Spade slapped his head, "idiot, look."

He saw three gravestones, under a tree each, on each of them wrote:

"Diamond Queen"

"King"

"Jack"

"Oh my god…" Joker gaped, and took a few steps back, Shadow spoke up to break the silence, "what happened?"

"Did something bad happen?" asked the original Hachi.

He nodded, "months ago… Mr Joker, Mr Spade and Mrs Queen went on a heist at Kaneari's… Dark Eye, Roko and me were trapped… when we finally reached them, they were already…" he sniffed wiping away the tears. "I wanted to go back to Fuuma village… but there's something stopping me from going..."

"Because you can't forget," Rose sighed.

The bushes rustled, their senses flared up and they jerked their heads to the direction to the source, Joker gaped at the "intruder", Cyan and Rose.

They were wearing normal clothes instead of their suits, not to mention Hachi was also wearing a normal black shirt and pants, Shadow wore a dark purple shirt with blue pants, Rose wore a simple tight black silk dress, Joker and his gang ran for it.

"Hachi, you're… already here," said Rose softly, her gaze a little absent minded, "we came to pay our respects…" she bent down and placed a bouquet of flowers in the middle of their graves, "sorry we're so late… we only knew about this last week, since we were in Egypt and all."

"Oh no no! It's okay! You had some business to do there!" Hachi waved his hand to ensure everything's okay, Cyan asked, "tomorrow's the day where the dead come back to visit?" Hachi nodded, "yes… I'll have to get everything ready…"

"I can help," Rose smiled bitterly, "isn't that so? Onii-chan?" she knew Cyan couldn't resist her calling him in the japanese "big brother/sister", he gradually agreed, "I just miss him."

"For our sake we're watching everything," Spade crossed his arms watching the "mortal-TV", with Joker and Queen sitting next to him narrowing their eyes, Joker puked anime style, "I've never seen Shadow 'miss' me before. Let alone change clothes, eww."

"We all do," Roko slowly said as he took a different route to the graves, Hachi asked, "visiting the old training grounds again?" he nodded, "all the memories we had together…"

"Should we tell them that a few of our friends can bring back the dead?" Joker whispered, Hachi glared at him, "no! Did you forget what cost that'll take?!"

Little Bundle Of Joy: Luna

"Someone's talking bad about me and it's not Scar," Luna growled, "god I hate this immortal thing so fucking much."

Back to them:

"Guess you're right," he sighed, then pulled out the communicator with a swift motion, he went through some of the contacts, Detective, Murderer, Female, Witch, Witch(Engaged)… his finger landed on the last one, Scarlet came up, her eye bags were heavy and she lost her energy.

"Hey Joker," she moaned clenching her teeth, "haven't you caused enough trouble already?" Queen raised an eyebrow, "what? Why? What happened to Luna and Rose?"

She hissed, green magic flared up in her eyes, "you came and made things worse! I'm not the type to blame people but you've made our bond worse! Rose left…" she sniffed, "Luna's living in total isolation… and all we feel is hate for each other… how is that not worse?!"

"... she said something about a 'Memory Case' before, and she controls the shadows in people's hearts…" Spade muttered, she tensed, "memory case?! She said that?! When?!"

"Last time when we looked for her," Queen stated rolling her eyes for some more info, "she said her name is D-"

"Diana," she gulped, "okay, listen to this: there are way more universes, like an alternate for Spade or Queen or Shadow, or even Roko, she's actually a multi-dimension… person- thing," Joker raised an eyebrow, "how'd you know?"

"I'm one of the damn Holders, I know these stuff," she protested, "the Memory Case is a bottle that contains the most important parts of your memories, it's not meant to be opened unless the user wants to, controlling shadows means controlling fear. Diana is a name from her… uh… Pokemon universe (Ash Descends, Red Ascends [My story about Ash getting amnesia, disappears for years and reappears as the Champion of Johto])..."

"I have no idea whatsoever what you've just said," he sweatdropped, she sighed, "I didn't expect you to, now you've got some company behind you," with that she hung up. "H-hey wait! What do you mean 'company'?!"

They looked up and saw the other dimension Shadow and Rose looking at them jawdropping, Shadow shook his head, "Hachi! Were the news right about him being dead?!"

"O-oh! They're the… group from another dimension…"

"Another dimension?!" Rose gaped, "are you serious? Like Phoenix?"

"No not like him you idiot!" Joker yelled breaking the fourth wall once again.

"No, we're actually here by the Space Crystal…" Joker scratched his head. "Oh… I'm… uh… sorry for your loss for… the other me's death? Hehe…" his Shadow slammed him on the head, "is your brain made of grass or anything?"

"... you're… alive in different worlds…?" asked Rose softly, he nodded slowly, "yeah… in fact, there are plenty more… like a girl version, a witch version, a detective and a murderer, heck… one even is engaged to Shadow and has a son…" hearing the last part made him vomit.

"For fuck's sake what?" Joker gaped in the afterlife, "ewwww!"

"No joke," Spade held his mouth to try not to throw up at the moment, Queen already failed and burst out laughing her ghostly lungs out.


The Next Day…

"Queen! Stop yapping about how Master'll freak out when he looks at us!" Joker yelled dumbfounded by her reaction.


"So… you're going to pay your respects today again?" Joker asked out of curiousity, Hachi looked at him and nodded, "today's the day that their spirits will come back."

"When did you pick that up?" Spade asked, raising an eyebrow, spirits? Firebird alien's a thing, but spirits? Wow., you have gotta be a whacko to believe that stuff-

"Hey Hachi!" a ghostly form of Joker smiled and waved cheekily, "seriously. Afterlife's not half-bad, don't worry about me!"

"Ahh! Ghost!" the two Hachi's ran and crashed the window.

"I knew you shouldn't have scared him like that," the ghost Queen smacked his head, "I see that you guys arrived and haven't died yet, huh?"

"Oh my god I'm a ghost in this world!" Joker's eyes sparkled, making the ghost him sweatdrop, he sighed, "geez, I gave up the chance of being reincarnated for this?" the ghost Spade nodded approvingly, "I feel you, bro."

"Reincarnated?" Roko asked, "like people die and their spirits transplant into a new era?"

"Uh… more like when you die your spirit flies out and you get the chance to stay or reincarnate, and we chose to stay…" Spade shrugged, "takes a lot of getting used to, like…" he whizzed his hand past Roko who shuddered, "but we can touch each other, like this." he shoved the ghost Joker down.

"So if you're dead, and how are we going to get back?" Dark Eye asked.

"Well, we aren't much help, we're dead, and all," Queen placed her hand on her chin in deep thought, "I think one of your friend can help…"

"Woah, woah! No way!" Joker shook his hands, "she's pissed off at us at the moment!"

"... you mean Selena, Holder of Fate, Witch of 'Miracles', AKA Kaitou Scarlet and one of the parallel versions of us… am I right?" Joker rolled his eyes, "yeah, she's definitely pissed off."

"Not helping," he hissed and held the communicator, which shown her status:

Extremely pissed off with Joker.

"And she typed that herself!" he growled, "and since you're dead and al-"

"Hey!" they protested, "if I could hit you in the face I would've."

"Can't you just tell us where that damn thing is and we're going to go get it?" Joker groaned, the other him shook his head, "no, one, it's not with us, two, you have to steal it, three, by stealing means you have to send an advance notice, which is not an option considering we're dead."

"No, but you have more 'friends' than Selena, right? Like witch, female or anything…" Queen scratched her head, "oh uh… and we're only back for today… before midnight we have to go for another year…"

"Let's not talk about that," Spade deadpans, "besides, we can't show you too much… the only way to go back… is to fix the bond between Luna, Rose and Scarlet."

"What?! Why?!" they gaped, Queen clutched her head, "I'm all for helping but what?! How are we going to go back there?! Can't we go to the world where Scarlet, Rose and Luna are still sisters and her son Jack doesn't exist?!"

They were silent narrowing their eyes for a while, Spade shook his head to clear his mind, "... that's a lot of info to take in… but okay… you can try that…"

"What do you mean by 'that's a lot of info to take in'?!"


"Hey Serenity, Sage, I feel that I have a copy in the parallel universe."
