Explosions surrounded the wall barring the famous chattes noires theater as Steam Beasts were attempting to break through as Ichiro, Erica and Toma were on the other side.

"This isn't good. We're too outnumbered here." Ichiro said.

"I'm more worried about you, Ogami. Youve been fighting non-stop. You should rest." Erica said.

"I cant. Not when the theatres in danger." Ogami said.

"Dangit. I wanted to help you guys since this theater was important last time… but without Cyrille, i cant go over that wall and beat those metal monsters." Toma said.

As soon as this discussion was had, summoned ghosts and beasts soon appeared on their side as did Pyron.

"I see. So this is the source I sensed. Hahahaha!" Pyron said.

"Ogami! Hostiles on this side of the wall!" Erica said.

"What? How did…?" Ogami said.

"Hey! Youre that freaky alien guy!" Toma said.

"Ah. Humans. I see one of them is injured. If you wish to surrender now, I will spare the weak and injured. They do not interest me." Pyron said.

"No, we cant hand over the Chattes Noires to you." Erica said.

"If i have to risk my life… I'll do it." Ogami said.

"Very well. Here i come!" Pyron said. As they advanced.

"Ogami, you cant do this, and Toma doesnt have a partner so he cant back us up!" Erica said.

"I know, but I cant fall now. Not when I have people close to me I have to protect." Ogami said.

"Ogami!" Erica said.

"Heh. Thats the commander of this worlds battle force for ya..huh?" Toma said as the two walked to the center of the theater.

"Ogami, I..i…" Erica said.

"Erica, if worse comes to worst, make sure you survive, got it?" Ogami said.

"Ogami… I;ve decided something." Erica said. "As of now, I'm not considered your parisian lover…"

"Erica?" Ogami said.

"I want to stay and fight to the end, so… please allow me to become your real girlfriend." Erica said.

Both of them were silent.

"Ogami…" Erica said.

"Erica…" Ogami replied.

"Ugh, are you two gonna kiss or something?" Toma said. They both drew closer to each other. "I think i was right…"

Before they could even lock lips, however….

"THAT'S ENOUGH!" Sakura shouted.

"AHH!" Erica said.

"Yikes!" Toma said startled and nearly falling over.

"It wasn't me! My body moved on its own!" Ogami panicked.

The main group arrived, sakura in front, and she was not happy.

"Imperial Assault force! Assemble!" Sakura said.

"S-Sakura?!" Ogami said.

"Hey, what the..?! Wait, when did I ever join the…?" Toma started before Sakura glared at him.

"Imperial Assault force, Assemble..." Sakura repeated.

"A-Assemble.." Maya said.

"Awkward…" Fiora said.

"Whats going on? Are those two colleagues of Sakura and Gemini? And who's the other boy?" Axel said.

"Ichiro Ogami and Erica fontaine, members of the Imperial Assault force and Paris combat team. And Toma is the wielder of the sword known as Shining Force." Indigo said.

"Oh, cool. And is Erica dating that guy? Neat!" Nana said.

"Ack! Dont say that, Nana!" Hope said.

"Ohhhh boy…" Ichiro said.

The walls were soon being bombarded by more forces as they went down to reveal Steam Beasts and Kouma.

"Well well, so thats what was assaulting the wall." Pyron said.

"Guys, look! It's Pyron!" Hsien Ko said.

"Of course he'd be here. The chains are here." Tails said. "Huh? I'm getting a weird reading. Its like the Kouma but….stronger."

Something flew above them as landing in front of the Kouma was a woman with large wings and a black outfit.

"I knew you had to turn up sooner or later." Hope said looking at her. "We have steam beats, Demons of New York, and the Kouma themselves. But I knew, I just knew, that you would be revived with them. It's been a long time…. Ayame."

"Wrong. I am the reborn rage of the Kouma, Aya-me!" Aya-me said.

"You knew that she'd be back with the Kouma from the start and didn't tell us?" Sakura said.

"I-I didnt think she'd be back! It was only a possibility." Hope said.

"Aw. A lover's quarrel. How sickening." said a voice as Maleficent appeared nearby.

"Sora, Riku! She's here!" Donald said.

"Maleficent." Riku said.

"Ah, now there is one tainted heart who would make a wonderful addition to my army." Maleficent said. "Aya-Me...you have my interest." Maleficent said.

"As do you." Aya-Me said.

"Ayame, why are you back? I thought we'd put your soul at peace last time…" Ogami said.

"Right now, I am bound to this world… via the power that connects dimensions." Aya-Me said.

"So what she's saying is she's back because of the chains? Didnt raptor say they were pointing to something?" Hope said.

"Oh! You want knowing, yes yes?" Said a familiar voice.

"Oh great." Xiaomu said as Sheath appeared.

"Yes Yes! I here with evil witch, desu!" Sheath said.

"I am a dark fairy, not a witch, Sheath. There's a difference, young little rabbit." Maleficent said.

"Oh, okay." Sheath said.

"Sheath, Maleficent, we know there's something to be found on the other end of these chains. They've already brought back enemies and locations form the grave, so what are they for?" Jexi said.

"You wont know as long as you keep facing us." Maleficent said.

"It's not a question of how they connect to other worlds, but what they are searching for." Aya-Me said. "Ouma and Zavok's goal is two in the same. They are to collect 101 fragments from the worlds."

"What?!" Sheath said.

"How could she know of our plan? Was she not revived only mere moments ago?" Maleficent said.

"The rabbit girl was talking about it when collecting the chains." Aya-me said. "Urgh! Ichiro...Ogami… I'm bounded by the Kouma's rage. Sever it… Sever Kouma Aya-me…"

"Is that Ayame speaking?" Hope asked.

"No! This body inhibits the rage of the kouma alone. Know this, Assault force, that it will never die!" Aya-Me said.

"I was hoping never for any one to fight you again, Including ogami…" Hope said. "Guys! No matter what happens, were gonna save Ayame from the Kouma's curse, got it?"

"H-Hope! Youre really gonna risk your life for our friend?" Sakura asked.

"I will. She's already suffered once, I don't wanna see her suffer again." Hope said.

"Aw. Blue boy has crazy mind delusions. Guess Sheath do special summonings now." Sheath said.

The chains around paris disappeared, and with them, new monsters appeared.

"Okay, those are new." Hope said.

"One Eight and One Five, new ouma friends. Chains make rifts, desu. And when no salvage, this happen!" Sheath said.

Four ghost like creatures appeared.

"Stray summoned beasts from the Island of the Strays!" Aty said.

"So Ouma's using the rifts to summon beasts like you?" Hope asked.

"Yes, but dont worry, I'll send those poor things back home. And as for you, Ouma and Maleficent, Ive got one word...FiddleSticks!" Aty said.

"Whoa, language, Aty!" Hope said.

"At least its better than the other f-word." Rainbow said.

"Now...allow me to begin the reverse summoning!" Aty said as she focused.

"You really think you can undo what Sheath has done, summoner?" Maleficent said.

"You poor, dear summoned beasts… time to go back to your original world!" Ay said performing the summon. But instead of bringing them back, it brought something else to them. Appearing in a puff of smoke was a woman with long blue hair and cat like features.

"Huh? What?" she said.

Childrens Entertainer

Felicia

"What the?! Whats going on?! Where am I?!" Felicia said before a portal opened up above them. Falling down was another cat lady in familiar clothing. As she took the impact, her body strained and broke into multiple pieces.

"Aieeeee!" Erica said.

"Its cool." the head said as they rejoined to her own body.

Member of the Fish Bone Gang

Ms Fortune

"Uh… you made… two naked catgirls. Well, one mostly naked. Is this supposed to happen Aty?" June asked.

"Ah. The rifts messed with my summoning reversal. Instead of sending the beasts home, I dragged away two other creatures." Aty said.

"So instead of un-summoning these things, you brought these naked ladies to us? This…. This i endorse." Vashyron said.

"Hey watch it ya...wait a minute...that you, Nami? Brook s friend?" Ms Fortune said.

"Wait, is that Nadia Fortune? Brooks partner in furious world?" Naoto said.

"I think it is." Chie said.

"Hey, is someone gonna tell me where I am?" Felicia asked.

"The other one, I'm not familiar with." Jexi said.

"What? You never heard of her? Shes a famous actress all over the media!" Hope said.

"Yeah, I've seen her on TV. I think she runs the orphanage, Felicity House." Kiryu said.

"If it's the same one, thats definetly Felicia. The one who starred in the movie, Dragon vs Monster cat." Ryo said.

"That was my movie Debut! The one Ken Tricked me into doing!" Felicia said. "I'm a little surprised you know the orphanage though… b-but wait, I have more notable things on my resume!"

"Your hit musical, This World is Mine, for starters." Hope said.

"Wait...Hey! Felicia!" Hsien Ko said.

"Hsien Ko!" Felicia said.

"Yup, definitely Felicia the cat girl alright." Morrigan said. "Poor little lost kitten."

"Morrigan! Demitri. Is this a Darkstalkers gathering or something?" Felicia asked.

"Er, not exactly. I think you were pulled from wherever you were, Ms Fortune too, by a rift." Tails said.

"And let me guess, you pulled us right into this huge mess." Ms Fortune said.

"Yeah, not the best way to reunite." Hope said.

Erica then disbanded form Ogami and changed into her Black Cat costume.

"I've got this!" Erica said. "Felicia, Ms. Fortune. As one cat to another, I beseech you two to fight with us!"

"Fight with… huh?" Felicia asked.

"Youre a musical star, so you coming here must be divine providence!" Erica said.

"Uh, Erica? You forgot somebody." Hope said looking at Ms. Fortune.

"Eh, divine providences or whatever aren't my thing. But breaking skulls...now I can get behind that." Ms Fortune said.

"You want to beat somebody up, cat lady?" Toma said. "Try her first." he said pointing at sheath.

"She's the main cause of all this, her summonings reversed Atys causing you to be here." Reiji said.

"So thats why?! Grrr! What's the big idea?" Felicia said.

"I dunno, but looks like we found ourselves a couple new scratching posts." Ms Fortune.

"Oh no! No no no! Need another summoning! Appear!" Sheath said as appearing before her were Saya and Xiaomu.

"She summoned Saya here?" Hope said.

"Well now, that was a surprise." Saya said.

"Yeah.. wait, what the?! What am I doing over here?!" Xiaomu said in surprise.

"Sheath, sweetie. Please be more considerate next time you summon me. I might have been in the tub." Saya said.

"Okay!" Sheath said.

Saya then Teleported to te other end.

"Well Maleficent, I suppose we'd better get started. Come out, my Katanas!" Saya said as four of them appeared.

"Indeed. Come forth, my Heartless!" Maleficent said as Heartless appeared.

'Xiaomu, Erica, Aty, Felicia, Ms Fortune, back with us! We got a whole lot of fight comin our way!" Ogami said.

The five quickly returned to the main group before the fighting began.

Chapter 19: The Call of the Evening

"Here we go! Dont let any of em over power us!" Hope said.

They began without a moment's notice, fighting on all sides.

"Hah! You should've paid more attention to those who were behind you!" Pyron said dashing in. "Now die!"

Suddenly, a butterfly flew by him as he heard the sound of a sword charging up.

"You….so you're the one who's messing with my friend." said a voice as a figure jumped up. "Backslash!" he shouted knocking Pyron away from behind. "Oi, Toma… are you gonna be alright?"

Wielder of the Monado

Shulk

"Shulk." Toma smiled.

Fiora then stopped and turned to where Skulk was.

"No way… Shulk! Youre really here." Fiora smiled.

"Fiora! That really you? Me and Dunban have been looking all over for you." Shulk said.

"Same for me...I suppose." Fiora said.

"Shulk, what are you doing here?" Jexi asked.

"You're blue cat friend in the cape came to find me. Said the worlds were in need of me and my blade." Shulk said.

"Heh. No matter where I go, he's always looking out for us." Hope smiled. "I owe ya big for this, Fuyunyan!"

"Hey, Shulk. Come team up with me. We can take the big guy together!" Toma said.

"Yeah, good call. After all, we have the advantage in a night fight!" Shulk said.

"You two humans are getting ahead of yourselves." Pyron said recovering.

"Are we?" Shulk said. "Monado, Keyblade, it doesn't matter. People can change the future and thats exactly what were here to do."

'Yeah! Time to beat you up with the power of the Shining Force, alien!" Toma said.

"Now it's Shulk time…" Skulk drawing the Monado. "This is the Monado's power!"

"Hey wait! You need back up, let me help!" Felicia said.

"You sure? You seemed a bit reluctant to fight and… youre kinda bare." Toma said.

"Dont treat me like some alley cat! I can fight as good as any man or woman." Felicia said.

"Then don't hold back than." Shulk said.

Battle Start:

"I can't say I've seen a wild cat like you before." Toma said.

"I'm not wild. I'm a star." Felicia said.

"I'm not even sure what kind of creature she even is." Shulk said.

Ready...FIGHT!

Toma and Shulk ran right at Pyron as they slashed at him with their own special swords dealing loads of damage on Pyron before calling in Felicia.

"You'd better watch out when I sharpen my claws!"

Felicia showed off her amazing speed, attacking with a spin dash like move and electrical attacks incorporated with dancing. She then threw a smoke bomb oh the ground.

"I'm a cat AND a bunny girl! How's that work?"

Felicia changed into a showgirl outfit as a group of line dancers did a leg up as they kicked Pyron up into the air.

"You ready for this, Shulk?" Toma asked.

"Yes I am." Shulk said.

Special Attack: Swords of the Future

The two of them stood side by side as they double teamed Pyron with their unique swords as they attacked side by side as if they were in perfect sync. They both then held their blades up high as power was charging.

"Let's show them what we're really made of!" Toma said.

Both of them charged at Pyron doing a cross slash as they stood with their swords at their side.

KO!

End Battle:

"Hah! I could've handled that in my boxer shorts and still woudve won." Shulk said.

"I dont think people would wanna see that." Felicia said.

"Yeah. You'd look like a real weirdo." Toma said.

"Hmm. The worlds are truly gone into a fascinating state." Pyron said. "Especially with the New World coming soon."

"New World?" Kagemaru wondered.

"It will make a fine addition to my collection. But the opportunity is not yet ripe. Rather I should take a look at the next world." Pyron said as he vanished.

Hope fought Sheath as Saya came in from behind. He countered them both and banged their skulls together before kicking both of them back.

"Ouch! Oh! Darn! Very mean blue boy desu!" Sheath said.

"That oughta take care of ya." Hope said.

"Hehehehe. Oh, Hope. Still as arrogant as ever. You still don't have a clue whats coming." Saya said.

"You mean the plan getting 101 fragments of the chains? Yeah, Aya-me already spilled that part." Hope said.

"Who said this was about the chains?" Saya smirked as she and Sheath vanished.

"But what do 101 fragments have to do with-" Hope began.

"A reference to the 101 Embryo Plan." Reiji said.

"101 Embryo Plan?" Hope asked.

"One of Ouma's attempts to merge worlds together. But we were able to stop it." Xiaomu said.

"Maybe this is a reprise of that." Hope said. He then looked at Aya-Me. "Okay, Ayame. Youre telling us everything you know, and I'm taking you off the Kouma's leash!" Hope said before Ichiro stopped him.

"Hope, I understand you don't want me to fight her. But this is something I have to do myself." Ichiro said.

"At least let someone back you and Erica up." Hope said.

"Might as well me me. Hope you dont mind." Ms. Fortune said.

"Then let's do this." Ichiro said.

Battle Start:

"Hey, Ms. Fortune? Are you a good dancer? Because I have some spots open on my Black Cat Waltz." Erica said with her costume on.

"Uh, thanks but, I prefer to serve and snatch than sing and dance." Ms. Fortune said.

"You better not mean from the watcher's pockets." Ichiro said.

Ready...FIGHT!

Ichiro and erica attacked with their usual weapons before calling in Ms. Fortune.

"Time to pull myself together."

Ms Fortune rushed into battle as she struck Aya-me with her claws and kicks, moving across the area as fast as a normal cat would.

"Now to get ahead."

Ms Fortune then tossed her head at Aya-me before it pulled back as she backed off.

Special Attack: Dreams and Hope and Tomorrow and Justice

Erica tripped over whilst changing into her black cat costume and slammed down. Before Aya-Me could react, Ichiro threw and axe in and intervened as he and erica attacked together before the Erica was in the spotlight.

"Cat transform!"

She then shifted into her battle outfit and slashed through Aya-Me with a laser whip. Ichiro then charged forward and with his swords glowing, slashed twice to cut straight through and shines light, defeating Aya-Me.

KO!

End Battle:

"Another one down, but lets not lets this go to our heads." Ms. Fortune said.

"You use a lot of body and cat puns .Is that your gimmick?" Ichiro asked.

"Come on, Ogami. No falling head over heels for her." Erica said.

"Ugh." Aya-Me said. "Just you wait. The Kouma will have their vengeance!" Aya-Me said as she flew off.

"Ayame." Ichiro said watching her fly off. "You were forced to fight again, but I'll make sure you are saved."

"Hey, Maleficent! Youre all alone now." Hope said.

"No. It is you who are alone with me, and all the powers of darkness!" Maleficent said as millions of heartless rose from the ground. "This is where I leave you to perish." Maleficent said as she vanished.

"You really need to learn to keep your mouth shut." Leone said as they engaged the heartless till all of them were gone.

"Okay. Now whats ne.." Riku said before sensing something. He turned around and saw it. A giant tree with chains in it covered in darkness.

"Whoa! Where'd that come from?" Hope said.

"And why didnt any of us sense it until now?" Jexi said.

"To be fair, I picked it up first." Riku said. "Its something...evil."

"The Evil Oak. It was the main base for the Phantoms of Paris." Erica said.

"So its not just villains of the dead who are coming back, its also locations of power and evil too." Commando said.

"Well, the chains are up there so we should probably make our way there too." Spectra said.

"But how? If we do it with the dragon turtle the pressure will break it down." Reiji said.

"Reiji. Youre forgetting this is paris. And in this paris, they have a secret weapon that can get us all there in a flash." Hope said looking at Ichiro.

Ichiro knew what he was talking about and looked to the arc de triomphe. "Okay! The secret weapon of the Paris Combat Revue! Revolver Cannon, ready to fire."

"Aw not that thing again." Dan groaned.

"This is not gonna be fun." Leanne said.

"Why?" Hope said.

"We were all packed up against one another before in three bullets. We were like sardines." Indigo said.

As the revolver cannon fully set up, they all went to it.

"I have been waiting for this day to repeat itself again! Pressed against the cylinder of a bullet round, we shall be punched together again…" Vashyron said.

"Oh god, youre not serious…" Hope said.

"Just think of this situation hope! Doesnt it make your blood boil?" Vashyron said. "Women and Men, together in the same bullet, forced against each other as they soar across the night sky or morning sun. Its so exhilarating!" Vashyron said.

"You just want to be pressed against some good racks, and every girl here knows it." Naruto said.

"Yes I do." Vashyron said. "I'm not ashamed to admit it."

"Hes such a pervert!" Lucy said.

"That settles it, I'm not getting in the same shell as him." Nami said.

"Yeah. Me neither." Alisa said.

"Heh." Hope said. "I knew this day would come. So, I took the liberty of making some anti-Vashyron countermeasures!" Hope said.

"Anti-Vashyron…" Leanne said.

"Countermeasures?" Yuffie asked.

"Basically, put him in a capsule with all men." Hope said.

"WHAT?!" Vashyron said.

"I'm sorry man, but you do kinda make the girls uncomfortable." Hope said as all the bigger girls smiled.

"This is our chance. Alright Hope, how about we choose who gets shot with him?" Lucy said.

"As long as you dont make it too torturous for him." Hope said.

"Okay, how about...Ryu and Ken, Heihachi, Ryo, Captain Commando, Jin and Kazuya, Akira and Kagemaru, Axel, Kiryu and Goro, and Lea." Nami said.

"Wait, if Vashyrons going with them, then… wait! Dont I get a say in this?" Zephyr said.

"Crap, I forgot Zephyrs partnered up with Vashyron ths time… Oh well. Stuff em in!" Lucy said.

They all put them in the third shell.

"Dude, girls…. Are scary." Dan said.

"Yeah. They're the most ferocious creatures on the planet." Ranma said.

"How would you know if you if you are one right now?" Chie asked.

"If you had my life, you'd know how scary they can be." Ranma said.

"I can imagine. You probably got cold water on yourself a lot of times and got boys all over ya." Peacock said.

"I don't wanna talk about it." Ranma said.

"Right then, lets see about the other three capsules. I may have protected the girls from Vashyron, but…huh?" Hope said before he found himself in a random capsule.

"Preparing to launch." Ichiro said.

"I gotta be more…" Hope began before the three capsules were fired. "Fassstterrrrr!"
