Hughes walked through the forest till he finally collapsed near a swamp. "I CANT GO ON ANY LONGER!!! I'M BETTER OFF DEAD!!!"
Timcampy suddenly dived down into the swamp. "TIMCAMPY!!!" Hughes screamed but then broke off in a fit of coughing.
"I'm all alone...." Hughes muttered. "No one cares that I even exist anymore!!! I'm like the tree that fell in a forest but it's like.... AHHH I'M IN DESPAIR!!"
Suddenly Timcampy burst out of the water carrying something between its teeth. And Hughes realized in horror, it was Tenma's arm. He screamed, and the world around him collapsed into nothingness.

Swords sat at a hotdog stand reading a newspaper. Gin (who was running the hotdog stand) walked up to him.
"Oi! Ye' know that newspaper is from two days ago, don't ye'?"
Swords nodded.
Gin sighed. "Yeahh... There's supposed to be that doctor who killed a whole bunch of people... Don't really know much though..." Gin gave Swords some summer pudding. "Well it's strange... But you look an awful lot like 'im..."
"Oh... Yeah.... Well you know that happens..." Swords muttered and ran off.
Hughes opened his eyes slowly. He could see Mustang standing below him, looking nervous and expectant.
"…Hughes? Is that really you?"
"What…?" Hughes looked around, then realized with a sudden jolt what had happened.
Mustang smiled timidly, wiping the sweat from his face. "Hughes…"
"DAMN YOU ROY! HOW COULD YOU DO THIS!?! HOW COULD YOU TURN ME INTO AN AKUMA!?!?!?!?"
Hughes heard a chuckle from behind him and spun around to see the Millennium Earl.
"Haha, my Akuma! I order you to kill this man and wear his body as your own!"
Hughes grimaced as his body began to move towards Mustang's. "Grrr…. I CURSE YOU, ROY!"
Mustang barely had time to jump out of the way. He pulled on one of his gloves and snapped.
Hughes watched as the flames raced towards him. "Roy… I lo-"
"AGH! NNOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Hughes sat up with a jolt, a cold sweat covering his body. He looked around frantically and realized with relief that he was still alive and in the forest. "Thank goodness… It was just a dream…"
Hughes stood. "I have finally decided. I am on a mission. I will get home, no matter what the cost." With a determined look, Hughes started off towards the rising sun.
After five minutes of walking, Hughes collapsed onto the ground. "Agh… Too much walking… I can't take it anymore, this mission is futile…"
"Hello? You need some help, hmmm…?"
Hughes used his last strength to look up, to see Muramasa standing over him, extending a hand.
To… Be… CONTINUED!
Swords was wandering around, when he bumped into someone. It was a worried-looking kid with white hair and a pentagram over one eye.
"Eh…? Watch where you're going!" Swords muttered.
The boy didn't seem to notice, so Swords grabbed his sleeve.
The sleeve ripped off, revealing an anti-Akuma weapon.
Swords's eyes widened. "So you are what they call… A HUNTER?"
Meanwhile, Gin was waiting for some more customers… He heard the phone ring and picked it up with a sigh.
"GIN! I HAVE TO TALK TO YOU!"
"Ugh… What is i' this time, Keaton?"
"I NEED YOUR RECIPE FOR SUMMER PUDDING!"
Gin grimaced. "Grr… Are you trying to win your wife back AGAIN!?"
There was a pause. "Um… no? I just really like that summer pudding… that's all… Heh…"
Gin hung up the phone with a growl.
"W-who are you...?" Hughes stuttered as the man helped him up.
"Um... Well I'm Muramasa... Are you okay?"
"Yeah, I think... Why are you helping me?" Hughes asked glaring suspiciously at him.
"Um.... Well you see, I'm actualy--" But Muramasa was cut off, as thousands of blue arrow shot through the air dangerously close to them. "OH NO!!!" Muramasa shouted, "IT'S THE QUINCYS!!!" And he quickly jumped behind a tree pulling Hughes along with him.
"The Quincys? But what are they doing here!?" Hughes asked.
"I don't know, they've been gathering here recently... I just couldn't get rid of them... They may take over this forest soon... You stay here, I'll try to find a way to escape!!" And Muramasa darted off leaving Hughes alone.
Suddenly he heard movement near him, and Uryu appeared holding Seele Schneider. "HEH HEH" Uryu chuckled and stabbed Hughes through the gut.
E\X\T\R\A\S\
Allen glared at Swords, and quickly ran off.
Lateeeerrr...
Swords wandered around aimlessly, I MUST find the man!! He will protect me!!! He thought. Suddenly he spotted him in a nearby bar. He jumped at the window where Allen was sitting. But he realized with horror, that it was made of PLEXI GLASS. He fell to the ground with a thud, his head throbbing.
Allen followed by a woman about his age with green hair ran out. "ARE YOU OKAY?" Allen asked.
"Yes..... I've found the only way of living.... Is to dodge the SNAKE!!!" Swords declared, smiling.
Kira always wanted to be a cook, since he was a child he was fascinated by the art of cooking, and especially, by summer pudding which he had at a friend's house SO long ago. So Izuru decided to work at the Summer pudding stand, run by his captain. But Captain Ichimaru would never let him cook, and kept saying that Lieutenants didn't have the talent for cooking. One day Kira decided to prove him wrong and made his own recipe of Summer pudding. Gin finally decided to taste it, but died of food poisoning the next day...
Hughes awoke feeling very dizzy. "Where am I?" He mumbled.
"OH! Your awake... Good, you're in a cave, safe from the quincys..." This was Muramasa's voice.
"Wait..." Hughes tried to recall what had happened. "Didn't I get stabbed by that Quincy?"
"Yes, you did... I'm really surprised you made it...Actually... If it hadn't been for this, you probably would have died...." Muramasa said, holding up Tenma's arm.
"AHGG!" Hughes screamed. "BUT I GOT RID OF THAT!!" Hughes remembered ripping the arm from Timcapmy's mouth and throwing it back into the swamp.
"Well... Whatever it is... It saved you. I'd keep it for good luck if I were you..."
"Ugh..." Hughes rubbed his head. "We hafta get out of here." He cast a sidelong glance at... The ARM...
"Well that's easier said than done..." Muramasa muttered. "Every moment more of them come... But I have a plan. We can make a giant DRILL to get through all of the quincys!"
Hughes blinked. "...Will that reeeaaaally work?"
"Of course... I do this sort of thing all the time..."
5 minutes later...
"Great! Now what do we do!? You broke the drill, and now we're stuck in the middle of the quincys..." Hughes kicked a wall of the drill in anger. "You said everything would be FINE! Everyone did! And now look what's happened! Noooo..." Hughes sunk to his knees. He looked up to see Timcampy still holding Tenma's arm in its jaws.
"Listen... I'm really sorry..." Muramasa murmured.
"Sorry?!?" Hughes pounded the ground in anger. "You hafta get us out of here! Can't you go into their inner worlds or something?"
"No... You see, quincys have no souls..."
"Then how could you do it to Chad?"
"Good question..."
"Grr... Well we hafta do SOMETHING!" Hughes began to pace furiously. "I DON'T BELONG HEEERE!"
Muramasa stood awkwardly in the corner with his hands in front of him. "Please stop shouting. It's starting to make me annoyed."
"Well your little playing 'firefighter' hasn't got me too happy either!"
"What?"
"YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT I MEAN!!!" Hughes threw Muramasa onto the ground and heard a loud crunch.
He opened Muramasa's hand, to find some scribbled notes on fixing the drill.
"So..." Hughes smiled, relieved. "You WERE making plans. I suppose I should thank you..."
Hughes looked down at Muramssa's motionless body. "Muramasa...?"
Muramasa did not move.
"But... Dammit, it wasn't supposed ta happen this way! You can't die! I can't kill you!!! You're the Ultimate... Um... Inner-world-prober, remember? But... NOOOOOOOOO!"

Kira heard footsteps approaching and drew further into the darkness. He slipped into a phone booth... Ran down a Metro station... Rode a bus... Stood in an archway... Wandered though Hueco Mundo... And for the first time in his life, he was the MAIN CHARACTER.
Kira stumbled drunkenly out of a bar. "Urgh... All those Squad 3 captains... Always tellin' me I can't cook... They all deserve ta DIE!" Kira collapsed on the ground.
The next time Kira opened his eyes, his captain was dead.
Kira heard a knock on his door. He opened it and in walked Byakuya Kuchiki.
"Hello, Kira. Did you know that your captain is... Dead?"
"What?!" Kira's eyes widened in disbelief. "But... How?"
"Food poisoning. Kira, you are the prime suspect for this crime. I'm afraid you will have to come with me."
"What? No! I didn't do it! It was a setup! I can tell you who DID do it. It was this person I met. His name was Atsuko Kohaku."
"Hmmm... Very well... But you'll still need to come with me."
"Can I at least change first?"
"Very well..." Byakuya knocked on the door 5 minutes later. He heard a thud from outside and watched Kira dash across the building and behind a wall.
"Hmmm... I am Kira... I am Kohaku..."
•••••••••••••••••••
Allen ran up to Swords. "I must HEAL you!" He saw the symbol for Good! on Swords' back. "I see... So you must be one of THEM...
Hughes paced around the drill floor nervously, trying to decipher Muramasa's notes. "AHGGG!!! IT'S NO USE!!!" her screamed falling to his knees and began to cry. "WHY DID I HANE TO KILL MURAMASA!? WHY DID I HAVE TO KILL MY FRIEND!!!?"
Suddenly a large spherical man appeared before him." ohhhhhh... Helllo there.... Wouldn't it be nice to bring you friend back to life??"
Hughes nodded looking up in awe.
"Well, I can do that for you if you just call out his name!"
Hughes smiled wiping away his tears. "THANK YOU!!" He said, then turned his head to the sky. "FRRRRREIIINNND!!!" He screamed at the top of his lungs.
The Earl frowned in disgust and left in a poof of dust.
Hughes was confused. "HEY!!! WHAT DID I DO WRONG?!?"

-Extras-
Byakuya sat tapping his fingers on the table.
"Uh.... What are you doing captain?" Renji asked
"I'm typing." Byakuya said and walked away.
--------
Atsuko sat evilly at bench in the park. Hehe! Now only twelve more captains to kill!! My plan is PERFECT!! He thought.
Suddenly he heard the sound of kicking and curses nearby. He followed the sound and found a strange man with green eyes and a long red scarf kicking the other guy in front of him.
"Hey that's mean!!" Atsuko shouted, pushing the green eyed man away.
The man glared. "This is none of your business! This is my sword, and I can do anything I want to it! Come Muramasa!"
"YOU CAN'T JUST KICK PEOPLE!!! I'LL REPORT YOU TO THE POLICE!!!" Atsuko shouted back.
"BUT MURAMASA IS JUST MY TOOL FOR ALL MY EVIL PLANS!! MUHAHAHA!!" The man screamed.
Atsuko turned to Muramasa. "You know you don't have to be treated this way... Just follow me..."
"NOOOOOOOOO!!! Muramasa would never follow you!!!! Isn't that right Muramasa??!!
"Chose what you think is right!" Atsuko said. "Tomorrow will be a great day!!!"
Muramasa's eyes were wide with shock, shifting between the two men. Finally be stood and began walking in Atsuko's direction.
"NOOOOOO!!!!" The man screamed. "MY SWEET CUTE MURAMASA!!! COME BACK TO MEEEEE!!" and he fell to his knees. "I LOVE YOU MURAMASA!!!
Hmmmm....
Hughes sat on the floor, and decided to try and understand the notes once more. It was quite difficult, seeing as the notes were just circles with weird lines in them… He threw them on the ground in disgust.
"Ugh, Timcampy… Is there any way out of this?"
Timcampy waved Tenma's arm around.
"So the only way to get out of the mob of quincys is to eat the arm? But that's DISGUSTING! I HATE EATING ARMS! There's a reason that people aren't cannibals, you know…"
Hughes paused, then took the arm out of Timcampy's mouth. He took a deep breath, sighed, and then with resolve, chomped into it.
Just then, a giant avalanche slid through, killing all of the quincys. Hughes stared at Temna's arm in disbelief. "So if I eat this, my wish will come true?"
Hughes sat down, thinking about all the things he could wish for. Going back home? Good cheese? New glasses? The possibilities were endless. Hughes looked up to the sound of crunching. He realized in horror that Timcampy had just eaten the rest of Tenma's arm. Before Hughes could do anything, General Cross appeared, looking very confused. Timcampy turned big and sat on his head.
&&&&&&&&&&&
"Hah, Kira, I HAVE YOU TIED UP!" Byakuya stood happily. Kira was looking very disgruntled. He sat with his hands tied behind his back.
Byakuya smiled. "Now all I have to do is escort you to the Squad 3 cells."
Kira frowned. "Even if you try to do that, I have friends that will help me to escape! Ha! You'll never make it there!"
"We'll see about that…"
Meanwhile…
Allen stood. "You are… A MONSTER!"
Swords backed away. "No… NO!" He pulled out a gun. "I know who YOU are! You're that wanted criminal! I'll take you in!"
Allen grinned evilly. "JUST TRY TO KILL ME!"
Swords pulled the trigger. Nothing happened.
"Hah." Allen opened his hand, revealing a bullet. "I took the bullet out."
"Ugh… Muramasa… I told you not to follow me anymore…" Atsuko looked behind him. Muramasa was still following.
