Ziden just stared at the visually disturbing demon while he withheld the need to throw up as the creature moved from side to side.

" Wow, Patchouli. Didn't know that 'this' was the type of 'helper' you wanted. Gensokyo girls sure are lonely if they are looking for these kinds of entertainment." Ziden joked as Patchouli's face turned red and she slammed her book into Ziden's skull.

" I wasn't trying to summon... that thing! And shame on you for thinking such a disgusting thought!" Patchouli scolded Ziden as he scratched his head.

" Hey, I blame those weird animes I come across." Ziden said while shruging.

" Whatever. Help me get rid of this thing, you perverted idiot!" Patchouli ordered as she opened a magic tome and began casting some magic.

" Gahhahahahah! Do you think you guys can beat me, Mara, a powerful demon goddess? What a joke!" Mara laughed as Ziden felt appalled.

" That thing's a woman?! Eww! You look like something you'd find in a Troll's loincloth!" Ziden said as Mara growled.

" Ziden! Would you stop with those kinds of jokes!? You are making me sick!" Patchouli yelled as Ziden unsheathed Crimson Edge.

" You'll get used to it, purple wife!" Ziden spun his blade as Patchouli blushed.

" Purple Wife? That'd better not be my nickname." Patchouli thought as Alice walked in between them.

" Come on, guys. We can beat this guy...girl...thing if we work together and-"

" Gyahhhhhhh!" Both Ziden and Patchouli were startled by Alice's sudden appearance as they began to yell in unison. " WHEN'D YOU GET HERE!?" Alice fell down with an aura of depression surrounding her.

" Why didn't they notice I was here the whole time?!" Alice was clearly upset at not being noticed by the duo.

" I think she was here the whole time, Ziden." Patchouli whispered as Ziden leaned over to her.

" Really? I never even noticed her being here, my senses must be getting rusty." Ziden whispered back as Patchouli shrugged.

" Who cares. Lets get rid of this...thing so I can retry this experiment and summon the creature I actually wanted to summon." Patchouli said as several dolls surrounded Alice.

" Gahahahahha! Time for all of you to die- GuuuuuaaaaaahhhH!" Ziden interupted Mara by delivering fiery jump kick to Mara's face and sent her flying into a bookshelf knocking it over as Patchouli slapped Ziden in the back of the head.

" Don't fight him here! You'll damage all of these books here if you do!" Patchouli warned as Ziden merely sighed.

" How am I supposed to get him out of here? Lead it through this maze of a bookshelves? No way, Jose!" Ziden said as gap appeared above the fallen Mara and sucked in the creature as Yukari appeared next to Ziden.

" Long time no see, Ziden. Its been awhile hasn't it?" Yukari asked.

" Yep, its been about a year since we last met, that demon invasion was a real pain to deal with!" Ziden said as Patchouli tapped him on the shoulder.

" Sorry to spoil this little reunion, but are you two forgetting about Mara?" Patchouli asked as the duo scratched their heads.

" Kinda, sorta." They said in unison as Yukari opened another gap.

" Come on, its been a while since I've been in a fight with a strong opponent like that. Lets go!" Yukari walked through the gap as the others followed her into the gap as they found themselves in a new room of the ship.

It was a room that had walls lined with blue tiles with several green lines in between them. There a large glass window above them with the rest of the Gensokyians watching them. Kaguya waved at Ziden while she received a glare from Mokou as she waved at him as well. " Ah. You sent us to the Teleportation Battleground room that Smashers use to practice while journeying Master Hand's world. Smart thinking, buddy." Ziden said as Yukari spun her parasol.

" Of course I did. I wanted the girls to see this fight so that they could evaluate your skills as a warrior and hero. We are going to help you in this fight, but we want you to show off your best skill when fighting Mara!" Yukari said as Ziden sighed.

" And who exactly wants to see my skills again?" Ziden asked.

" Those two up there and Remilia want see your skills, so be the show-off that you naturally come out and impress us! I sure hope you aren't rusty after all that time off." Yukari said as Youmu and Meiling were watching them closely.

" Whatever. Lets get this over with so I can take a nap. This is going to be such a pain." Ziden said as he enter walked over to a terminal and spoke into a mic. " Computer, send us a cliff-like location. I don't care which one, just send us to one so we can kill this creature."

" Okay! Activating Teleportation Battleground now!" A overly excited female voice announced as a bright light shone in the room, blinding everyone as the fighters were now in a new area.

" Hmm? What is this place? This place... I feel like something terrible happened here." Ziden said as he looked around the rocky grounds that had discarded swords in the distance or at least they looked like swords.

" Enough of this! Time for all of you to die!" Mara roared as Ziden spun Crimson Edge around.

" Enough talk, evil phallus creature! Time for you throw down with a Demon Hunter and a God Slayer!" Ziden yelled as everyone got ready to fight.

I'll Face Myself ( Persona 4)

Ziden fired a powerful sword wave into Mara's body, blasting him into a wall as Ziden began to cast a spell. " Time to see what secrets you hold, Scan!" A targeting reticle appeared over Mara as a blue screen appeared next to her. Several pieces of information appeared on the screen.

" Tyrant Mara. Strong against Physical, Ice, Electrical, and Wind attacks. Nullifies Curse and Expel attacks. Weak against Fire based attacks." Patchouli read aloud as Ziden coated his sword in fire.

" Bwaaaahaahha! Even if you know my weakness, none of you have the brass balls needed to take me on!" Mara taunted as Ziden scoffed.

" Why have brass balls when I have solid diamond ones?" Ziden joked as Yukari slapped him in the back of the head.

" Summer Red!" Patchouli summoned a fire ball that flew towards Mara and slammed into Mara, dealing extra damage considering its weakness.

" Curse you, purple woman! I'll make you faint by penetrating your defenses and making you faint from my massive strength!" Mara roared as Patchouli withheld the need to vomit.

" Must this thing make sexual jokes everytime it talks?" PAtchouli asked as Ziden placed his hand on Nosada's hilt and sheathed Crimson Edge.

" Apparently, of course if she's going to bust out some jokes, then I'm going fire back with my own!" Ziden said while crouching down.

" Eat this!" Mara slammed her body into the ground and released a shockwave that everyone but Ziden flew into the air to dodge.

" Iai Blow: Infernal Star!" Faster than a flash of lightning, Ziden unsheathed his sword, swung it and quickly sheathed it as a star made of fire appeared over Mara, burning her as Yukari opened a gap over it and flaming debris rained down on her.

" Fire Metal Sign: St. Elmo's Fire!" Patchouli used a spell card and fired a large ball of fire that into the ground underneath Mara's chariot, creating a large pillar of fire that threw her into the sky.

Alice commanded her dolls to charge at the airborne demon and they swarmed onto Mara, rapidly stabbing her with their lances as Mara let out a roar to scatter the dolls.

" Take this! Hades Blast!" Mara fired a powerful blast of dark energy at the group. Patchouli erected a barrier to protect herself from the attack. Yukari opened a gap and teleported the attack away as Alice created a shield of dolls to take the full brunt of the attack.

Ziden watched as the attack flew closer to him as he gripped his sword with the both of his hands while he assumed a Batter's Stance.

Yukari saw this and decided to play along with it. " Swing! Batter Batter Batter Batter! Swing!"

Ziden swung his sword like a bat and slammed it hard into the dark energy as he summoned all his strength to push the dark energy back at Mara. " And it's a Home-Run!" Ziden reflected the blast back towards Mara. The blast slammed into Mara, exploding against her body as a red light wrapped around him.

" Hmm? Ziden's about to use a Fire Spell on that creature? Not only that, I can sense alot of magical energy gathering around him. What magic using clan is a part of his family, I wonder?" Alice wondered.

" Wielder of the flame, reduce these evil souls to ashes...Explode!" A large ball of fire appeared above Mara slowly descended onto her as the ball slammed onto the Demon Goddess, creating a massive explosion of fire that was severely burning the demon as Alice pulled out a spell card.

" Curse Sign: Shanghai Doll!" Alice summoned her Shanghai Doll as it fired a large pink laser into the fiery explosion, pushing Mara out of the fiery sphere as Mara is sent flying far into the distance.

" Nice shot, Alice. At least now I can take a nap... whoa. Is that a...?" Ziden jumped up a cliff and ran over to a sword as Patchouli, Alice and Yukari followed him.

" Wait a sec? That can't be what I think it is." Patchouli said as Ziden lifted up the sword.

" These things are all over the place. Did some big battle happen here?" Alice asked.

" More like a war. I smell alot of blood in this place. We should leave...now." Yukari said as a magic circle appeared behind them.

" A war...involving these weapons? What could have driven these people to fight?" Ziden wondered as he placed the weapon down and entered the circle.

They entered the circle and were teleported back to the ship as Ziden let out a big sigh. " Well, Patchouli, this should teach you not to summon familiars with an outdated Demon Summoning Guide." Ziden said as Patchouli snorted.

" Whatever. I'll get it right next time, if you're willing to help out." Patchouli asked as Ziden shrugged.

" Sure, but know that I'm taking a nap so don't cause anymore trouble, kay?" Ziden asked as Patchouli nodded.

" Oh no you don't!" Ziden looked up to see Remilia crashing through the window and landing in front of him. " You owe my Gatekeeper a proper duel!"

" No. He owes me a proper duel!" Youmu appears in front of Remilia as Ziden shakes his head.

" Too bad. I will deal with you guys after my nap." Ziden tries to leave, only for Remilia to stand in front of the door.

" Oh, no you don't! You'll fight her now!" Remilia ordered as Ziden sighed.

" All right then. Screw the nap, we're heading to the next world right now!" Ziden said as Remilia's face turned sour.

" What? But we just got back!" Remilia was upset as Yukari realized what Ziden was doing.

" And I was thinking I could make a nice meal for everyone after that nap, but if you want to interrupt that, then I guess we can go to the next world." Ziden said as he opened a vortex to the Teleportation Room.

" Wait!...You can have your nap, but after this next world, you fighting Meiling and then the bob-cut girl!" Remilia said while stomping her foot.

" Good. Welp, nap time here I come!" Ziden said as he vanished from everyone's sight.

Many hours later...

Ziden woke up to find that he was not sleeping alone in his room as he looked over to his left and saw Yukari outcold next to him while violently turning in her sleep.

"..."

Smack!

" Gahh!" Yukari snapped up and rubbed her sore face which was red from Ziden's hand.

" Stop rolling around so much. Its annoying." Ziden said while getting out of the bed.

" You didn't have to slap me in the face. If me and you weren't so close, I'd have killed you for that." Yukari threatened as she got up and Ziden noticed that she was wearing her other outfit.

" Going back to your old purple dress thing, huh? Fits your figure quite nicely, Yukari." Ziden complimented as Yukari chuckled.

" My, what a gentleman you are! I prefer my buddy over that clone of yours anyway. He doesn't have that same sense of flair that you do." Yukari said as she walked out of the room.

" He sure doesn't. I guess I should try to make some sort of food with that Hydra." Ziden decided to make some form of food with the Hydra as he made his way to the Kitchen.

Ziden looked upon the large body of the Hydra while thinking of ways to make into food. " Maybe you could grill it?" Ziden turned around and saw Sakuya standing behind him wearing a Kitchen Apron.

" That could work, of course I'd have to slice off pieces of its body in order to grill it properly. Maybe make them into Steak sized portions." Ziden said as he began to slice off several pieces of the Hydra as Sakuya helped to place the pieces onto the grill.

Ziden made sure to grab a spatula and washed it off as he turned the grill on as the meat began to cook.

" So Master Ziden, I was wondering if you could help me with something?" Sakuya asked as Ziden sighed.

" What?" Ziden asked as Sakuya flipped over a steak.

" I was wondering since you trained me to be a Vampire Hunter, maybe you could take it a step further and train me to be Demon Hunter as well." Sakuya asked as Ziden scratched his chin.

" Sure."

" Please! I really want to keep training under you! Please Master!"

" Sakuya I said su-"

Sakuya gets on her knees and bows repeatedly. " Please! *Throck* Ow!"

" I said sure, you idiot!" Ziden yelled as Sakuya rubbed her head.

" Thank you, Master Ziden." Sakuya said while bowing.

" Whatever. Don't expect it to be easy. Your training will start when this journey is over." Ziden announced as Sakuya eagerly nodded.

" Now lets focus on fixing this food." Ziden said as they began to focus on cooking the food.

According to Ziden's eyes, everyone seemed to enjoy the Hydra Steaks as none were remaining at the end of dinner. Yuyuko seemed to love it as well, she devoured at least 45 35 oz. Hydra Steaks.

Ziden led everyone to the Teleportation Room as he had them draw straws out of the cup as the following people were picked; Sakuya, Yuyuko Nitori, Flandre, Meiling, Aya, Yukari, Mokou, Komachi.

" Yay! I get to explore a world with my big brother!" Flandre exclaimed as Ziden stared blankly at her.

" Hold on a sec! Whom are you refering to as big brother?" Ziden asked as Flandre pointed at him. " Great. Whatever, let's get this world done and get out of here!"

The transporter activated as everyone found themselves in a docking bay as Donald and Goofy walked around with worry written all over their faces.

" So this is your home, right?" Sora asked.

" Yeah, but something feels fishy in here." Goofy said as he began to climb some stairs.

" Lets get outside. Something tells me that this isn't going to be an easy job." Ziden said as everyone went outside of the docking area and entered the garden as they immediately heard the music shift.

Desire for all that is Lost ( Kingdom Hearts II)

" Oh no! There are Heartless in the Castle!" Goofy said while taking out his shield.

" Great. I take it that Heartless being here is a bad thing?" Aya asked.

" No time for talk! We have to find Queen Minnie!" Donald ran off towards a door leading into the castle, blasting any Heartless away with his magic as everyone chased after him, ignoring the Heartless as they ran through the castle's white hallways.

Ziden spotted a large white door, sealed behind a barrier as everyone entered a large room with several animate brooms cleaning the room. They also noticed that Goofy and Donald had very stiff posture as they standing in front of mouse wearing a pink dress and a regal tiara.

" Queen Minnie! We're glad that you're safe!" Goofy and Donald exclaimed in unison.

" So this is your queen?" Sora asked.

" I'd assume so. This is a regal looking castle, I'm kind of jealous." Ziden said as he leaned against the wall.

" Oh? Would you happen to be Sora?" Minnie asked as Ziden shook his head.

" Not me, Sora's over there. The name's Ziden." Ziden introduced himself as Minnie remembered something.

" King Mickey mentioned you and a woman named Yukari in his letter." Minnie said as Yukari stepped forward.

" Wait, the King knows us?" Ziden asked.

" Yeah, we met him during the last war, remember?" Yukari said as Ziden remembered.

" Anyway, what's going on here? Why are there so many Heartless in the Castle? I thought the Heartless couldn't come here?" Donald asked.

" Something terrible has happened to the Cornerstone!" Minnie exclaimed as Reimu scratched her head.

" The Cornerstone?" Reimu asked.

" Its a stone in this world that keeps the Darkness out of the castle." Minnie explained.

" So where is this Cornerstone anyway?" Aya asked.

" In the castle's basement. I had to seal it off so that nothing evil could get in." Minnie said as she walked to the door.

" Well then lets go check it out then. Something tells me that the Rulers of Darkness are behind this." Reimu suggested as Yukari nodded.

" Possibly, but I doubt it. Something tells me its someone else." Yuyuko added.

" Only one way to find out." Mokou said as she left the room.

" Lets go." Komachi said as she stood near Queen Mickey to protect her from the Heartless that were in the hallway.

They made their way to a large white door that was sealed off by a pink barrier with a Hidden Mickey on it. " I shall unlock the door for us." Minnie raised her hands into the skyas the barrier vanished. A small portion of the door opened up for the group to enter.

They entered the room and immediately summoned their weapons when they saw the large swarm of Bolt Towers in the Throne Room.

" Oh no! They got here too!?" Minnie exclaimed.

" Sora! Get Minnie to that throne safely while we hold off these Heartless!" Ziden yelled as Komachi walked over to Minnie and Sora and placed her hands onto their shoulders. Ziden blinked once as he noticed that Komachi and everyone else were next to the throne.

" Have fun with the Heartless, Ziden!" Komachi said as Minnie revealed the stairway to the Cornerstone room.

" Hey! Don't you leave me here with these things!" Ziden yelled as they climbed down the stairs, completely ignoring him as the Heartless surrounded him. "... Well, this is going to suck." Ziden said as the Bolt Towers began to fire lightning at him.

The group found themselves in a dark basement with several thorny vines and they saw the Cornerstone that was sitting on a white pedestal.

" So this is the Cornerstone? It has alot of spiritual power in it." Reimu observed as she walked around it.

" Who could have done this to the Cornerstone of Light?" Goofy asked as a villainous laughter rang throughout the room.

A burst of green fire appeared in front of the Cornerstone of Light as everyone took an offensive stance. From inside the fire, you could see the shape of a woman wearing dark robes and a black, pointy headress and her her green skin as Sora knew this woman.

" Maleficent! You're behind this!?" Sora asked as Maleficent began to laugh.

" Of course I am! Whom else could have caused such a great tragedy as this!" Maleficent boasted as Sora summoned his keyblade.

" So this is that witch you were telling us about Sora?" Yukari asked as she walked over to his side.

" Hmm? So it seems that you have some new allies, boy. No wonder Pete had so much trouble dealing with you." Maleficent said while looking over at everyone in Sora's group.

" Maleficent! Why have you done this to the Cornerstone of Light!?" Minnie angrily asked.

" Why it's quite simple my dear queen. I'm in the market for a new castle and I came across yours and thought ' My, what a lovely castle. It would look much better with a touch of darkness!" Maleficent revealed as she began to cackle.

" Wow, that's some plan you got there. Too bad we're here to stop you." Everyone turned around and saw Ziden coming down the stairs, with his clothes torn and several burns on his skin that were starting to heal. " Thanks for leaving me to deal with all those Heartless, that was so fun by the way."

" Oh? So you must be Ziden, the Black Knight told me all about you." Maleficent said as Ziden glared at her.

" So the Black Knight is working for you! You tell that bastard I'm going to tear him limb from limb when I find him!" Aya yelled as Marisa held her back.

" Oh, will you now? I doubt that you will be able to pierce through that armor of his when even the Heartless can't. But enough of this meaningless chatter, I have other business to attend to." Maleficent disappeared in a burst of green fire.

" Oh no! This castle is going to be overrun by Heartless soon. If only Merlin was here." Minnie said, losing all hope that the castle could be saved.

" Wait, Merlin? Isn't that the name if that wizard in Hollow Bastion?" Yukari asked.

" Yeah, he supposedly trained my teacher Mima when she was starting out." Marisa said as Ziden scratched his head.

" Mima? Why does that name sound familiar to me?" Ziden thought as Mokou walked over to him.

" Hey! We need to head back to Hollow Bastion and get Merlin over here!" Mokou said while poking Ziden in the chest.

" Fine. Yukari, gap Sora, Donald and Goofy over to Hollow Bastion while we try to get rid of these thorns." Ziden said as Yukari waved her hand.

A large gap appeared underneath Sora, Donald and Goofy and sent them on a trip to Hollow Bastion while the group thought of ways to get rid of the thorns.

Mario and Luigi threw their hammers at the thorn, only for them to bounce off of them and slam right into Ziden and Mokou's faces, knocking them on their backs as everyone sweatdropped at the sight of them rolling around the floor while clutching their broken noses.

Kirby tried to inhale to all of the thorn, only for him to get tired and pass out on the floor.

Reimu tried blasting the thorn with her Yin Yang orbs, only for it to bounce off it and slam right into Yukari and Mokou and sent them flying in the air as Ziden laughed at them both.

After a few more botched attempt at destroying the thorns, the group decided to give up after Ziden begs for them to stop.

" Jeez. These things are durable. Everything we throw at them gets thrown back at us, ze!" Marisa yelled as Ziden and Mokou pulled several knives out of their rears and back as Sakuya scratched the back of her neck.

" Sorry about that, Master Ziden and Mokou." Sakuya apolgized as Ziden pulled out the last knife as he heard Donald's voice. They looked over to their right and saw Sora, Donald, Goofy and Merlin appearing out of thin air.

" Ah! Merlin, you're here!" Minnie said as she ran over to Merlin.

" Ah! Queen Minnie, it has been awhile since I last saw you. It looks like things aren't going well here." Merlin said as Minnie explained the situation to him.

" Hmm? I believe I have a solution to this problem." Merlin said.

" Really? What is it?" Nitori asked.

Merlin waved his hand and created a grey door that appeared right next to the Cornerstone as everyone walked over to it.

" What's with the door?" Mario asked.

" My boy, that is a gateway to a special world. Someone in that world is responsible for what's going on in this castle. Of that, I'm certain." Merlin explained as Ziden punched his palm.

" I see, so all we have to do is get in there and beat up whoever is doing this to the castle." Reimu said as walked to the door and grabbed the door knob.

" Wait a moment! The perpetrators must be stopped, of course. But there's something else to do first. Somewhere in that world, there should be another door that's identical to this one. I believe our enemies are utilizing that door. As long as it remains open, the castle will be in grave danger. Listen carefully, Sora and friends. You must find that door. And when you do-lock it with your Keyblade." Merlin explained as everyone approached the door.

" Any thing else you want to tell us before we enter this world, Merlin?" Yuyuko asked as Merlin nodded.

" Yes. Now, one more thing. You're heading into a very special world. While you're there, the nature of that world may tempt you to do something dark. You must resist that temptation at all costs!" Merlin warned as Yukari, Yuyuko and Komachi all turned to look at Ziden and Marisa.

" What? We're not going to do anything! We swear!" The duo swore as the group opened the door and entered a brand new world.

When they passed through the door, they noticed that everything was black and white, although they could still faintly see the colors on their clothes. But something seemed to some of the heroes, mainly Ziden. " Hmm? Why does everything look taller, all of a sudden? Hey! Even you guys look taller all of a sudden!? What's going on here?!" Ziden yelled as everyone looked down on his...literally.

Meanwhile at a different location...

Ruler 6, Ruler 11 and a mystery man were waiting on a rooftop near the port in town and they too were black and white.

" They are here. I can sense them." Ruler 11 said as he heard Ruler 6 laugh.

" Good! Now I can kill that wretched girl and that man whom is friend with the Lunarians!" Ruler 6 said as the Mystery man approached the ledge.

" Ohohohohoho! I can't wait to see my old buddy Terra again! Oh, how she'll die of fright when she sees me again! And if she doesn't, I'll just kill her the old fashioned way!" The mystery man said as he merrily pranced away.

Fun Facts:

1. Mara is from the Shin Megami Tensei games and is well known for its...design which should be obvious what it looks like. I didn't describe Mara in this story because of how vulgar it looks like. This is the Strange Journey version of Mara which is revealed to be a female...creepy.

2. The Mystery Man... it should be pretty obvious who it is if you played FF6.

Author's note: A new chapter has arrived and a title has been given to this story.

Also I should note that more demons from the following series will be making appearences in this story via Patchouli's summoning Mishaps; Disgaea, Devil May Cry, Shin Megami Tensei and Castlevania! See you next chapter! R&R!
