Chapter 24: Moebius Counter
Que: Game Over (TWEWY)
Cloud, Squall, Derpy, Tifa, Rinoa, and Rarity continued standing in their current location in the Shibuya UG. They already knew what they had to do next, that wasn't the issue. However, before they went forward with their current plan, they decided to have a quick conversation just to confirm what they had to do. Squall spoke up first.
"Alright, the best way to go about this is to basically just explore more areas in this place" explained Squall
"Right, if we do that, the chances are we'll run into some others eventually" added Cloud
"Even if those other end up being others we end up having to fight" announced Tifa
"Actually, whether we like it or not, it might be better if we did run into others we end up fighting" stated Rinoa
"Might I ask why?" asked Rarity
"Just think about it, it's actually pretty obvious why" suggested Squall
"If they're fighting use, then that means they may know more about this incident that we do" replied Cloud
"Which also means they may know who is behind this incident as well" announced Tifa
"If that's the case, then it would also mean that all of the villains sent here as well may be all working together to 'get rid of their enemies once and for all' so to speak" stated Rinoa. At this point, Rarity and Derpy became tense, but the others noticed it.
"Don't worry, we'll be fine" assured Squall
"That's right, all of us are strong in our own unique individual way" added Tifa. This made Rarity and Derpy feel better, but, only a little.
With that, the group was ready and they made their way into another area of the Shibuya UG. In the next area they found what they were looking for and more. It was a large group of creatures. The group consisted of a green hedgehog, a red fox, a green duck, a human-sized polar bear, a purple weasel, and a yellow cat. It was Scourge the Hedgehog, Fiona Fox, Bean the Dynamite, Bark the Polar Bear, Fang the Sniper, and Honey the Cat. The group immediately noticed the new group that had just entered the area.
"Well, who do we have here?" asked Scourge
"Two ponies and four humans" reported Fiona
"Ponies? You've got to be kidding me!" cackled Bark
"The humans look the strongest to me" remarked Bean
"How are ya'll doin'?" asked Fang. At first, they didn't know how to respond, however, something became instantly obvious to them all.
"You all sense that right?" asked Rinoa
"Undoubtedly" replied Tifa.
"Oh yeah" stated Squall
"Even without this sense it's obvious" remarked Cloud
"They're kinda scary…" trembled Derpy
"Hmph. Just a bunch of ruffians if you ask me…" commented Rarity
"Well? You gonna say something or what?" commanded Scourge. Finally, at last, Squall decided to be the first one to speak to them
"I'm assuming you've been sent here against your will as well?" questioned Squall
"I guess you could say that…" replied Fiona
"Man, I don't think these guys get it at all!" declared Bark
"Maybe we should explain it to them…?" suggested Bean
"It don't look like we got a choice" stated Fang
"Be our guest, Scourge" offered Fiona. All of a sudden, Cloud's group became serious
"Here's the deal…" began Scourge "You see… most of the ones you see before you have sort of been 'forgotten' by everyone else. The fact that we live in an alternate universe or something doesn't really help, either"
"Huh? A parallel universe?" repeated Tifa
"Yeah that's right. Parallel to Mobius. Although they call it 'Moebius.' Everything is pretty much the exact opposite of 'Mobius' too." Explained Scourge
"Okay so you've been forgotten by the first Mobius?" queried Rinoa
"Correct! We've all decided to not take it anymore either! We've had it! We'll make them all pay once and for all! Then we'll see who gets forgotten then!" declared Scourge. That's when Cloud's group became even more serious.
"I guess you could call us… The Moebius Counter" informed Fiona
"Hey that's actually a pretty good name Fiona!" complimented Fang
"Are you admitting what we think you're admitting?" asked Squall
"Are you saying you're entire purpose is to cause destruction?" asked Cloud
"Hey I think they're starting to get it!" realized Bark
"Took them long enough" remarked Bean
"All we know is that those Mobians are here too, so they're going to get what's coming to them once and for all!" declared Scourge
"Hey! You can't do stuff like that! It's wrong!" yelled Derpy
"So I was right then. You are just a bunch of ruffians" stated Rarity
"Well then I guess we'll just have to 'ruff' you up" decided Fang. Rarity was taken aback by this.
"Well… I never!" huffed Rarity
"Come on Bark and Bean. Let's show them how 'rough' we can be!" suggested Fang
"Alright then" grinned Bark
"You're in for it now" warned Bean. Cloud and Squall stepped forward. But it was still uneven. That's when, shockingly, Rarity came forward as well!
"Hey… I thought you didn't like getting rough?" asked Fang
"Hmph. I'll show you just how 'rough' I can be when you insult me!" declared Rarity. Well… this would be… interesting…

Que: The One Star (TWEWY)
Everyone seemed to have made up their mind. Fang went after Rarity, Bean went after Squall, and Bark went after Cloud. Bark rushed Cloud and simply tried to do harsh punching combos, however, Cloud easily sidestepped all of them. Unexpectedly, Bean started throwing bombs at Squall! However, Squall was easily able to dodge them and the explosion radius as well. Fang had taken out a gun, which made Rarity tense. He started shooting at Rarity! The only thing Rarity could do was run away from Fang in zigzag patterns to dodge the bullets, which actually worked. All of this continued for quite some time, everyone unsure of how to actually be able to attack these creatures. Well… maybe not…
Cloud easily sidestepped another punch from Bark and counterattacked with a harsh ground slashing combo which ended with a jumping vertical north to south slash which forced Bark hurdling towards a building and slamming into it hard. As Squall continued to dodge bombs, he was actually getting closer and closer to Bean until he was right in front of him. Bean tried to hit him with a bomb at close range but Squall easily avoided it and followed it up with a harsh ground slashing combo of his own which ended with him pointing his gunblade at Bean like a gun! He pulled the trigger, causing a huge explosion to occur. Rarity seemed to realize something and stopped avoiding the bullets! When Fang fired another shot at Rarity, it didn't hit her! This made Fang tense but Rarity smirk confidently. She was using her magic to block the bullets, but Fang didn't know that. Fang tried again and again, only to get the same result every time. Eventually, though, Fang tried again, but this time, Fang acted like he got hit! Rarity had used her magic to deflect the shot back at Fang! Rarity quickly dashed toward Fang and turned around, bucking him as hard as she could, forcing him backward and slamming hard into a nearby building as well! Afterward, none of them were getting up. They won?
"Who's rough now?" boasted Rarity

Fang, Bark, and Bean disappeared.
"Looks like we underestimated them" realized Fiona
"Hmph. Whatever" remarked Scourge. With that, Fiona, Scourge and Honey left, but the others didn't go after them, they just glared at them as they watched them leave. Looks like Rarity can be "rough" too! As far as the next combined group… let's just say it's sort of an awkward combination with almost opposite personalities…
To be continued…
P.S.: I didn't have Honey talk at all on purpose. This becomes important later on. I just thought I should make that clear so you aren't confused.
