PREVIOUSLY…
"Damn… guess I'll have to step it up another notch…", he cursed to himself.
The two clones in the Cyberworld suddenly disintegrated, and poured out of the computer screen in streams of light which absorbed themselves into the original Espada's body.
As he did so, a dark red aura pulsated around the man.
"Time to make some noise! HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"
-
Outside of Scilab, a lone shadow was seen observing a burst of crimson light. The only thing seen was a pair of red eyes, and the tinges of blue, sun-yellow and charcoal fur.
"I must hurry… there is not much time…", the figure muttered. After that, he disappeared.
-
Horror swept the heroes like liquid plaque on a paintbrush.
Ojorojo was standing merely 10 yards from them, but the very presence of the Espada felt like he was literally choking them all at once.
"Such… power…!", Laika barely managed to get out.
"So this is the power of an Espada…!", Warrock choked.
What was most surprising was that Allen Walker alone stood tall, unfazed by the mass reiatsu.
"Allen, how are you--?", Subaru before Allen turned around, his left eye turning black with a red iris, smirking softly.
"Save your strength, minna-san. It's my turn to fight."
Turning around back to Ojorojo's direction, he glared harshly at the Espada, his upper body covering itself in ectoplasmic white silk, and his left arm turning a metallic black with knife-like claws, and a silver crucifix embedded on the back of his palm.
Allen walker had assumed his battle form, the Crown Clown.
"So… shall we commence Act II?"

Chapter 37: Musicá Inutil
-
Allen's left eye twitched and turned black with a red iris, covered by a transparent clockwork monocle. Flexing the fingers on his left hand, his Crown Clown twitching.
Ojorojo stood unfazed by the Exorcist's presence, an un-amused scowl and glazed look adorning his face.
Cracking his knuckles and performing odd stretches, it was as if the Espada was taunting Allen, if nothing else.
Gritting his teeth, Allen ran forward, rearing his Crown Clown back as he charged forward ready for the kill. Unfortunately, Ojorojo sighed and grabbed the clawed hand with two fingers like they were a pair of chopsticks, Then, by twisted Allen clockwise with those , he kneed the poor boy in the lower spinal cord, causing the Exorcist to topple over like a ragdoll.
Clutching his stomach in pain, he failed to notice Ojorojo walk casually towards his comrades like he was all-powerful; an evil and twisted sneer on his face.
"So, Allen…", the being commented while stopping firmly in place, tuning over his shoulder, as if to mock the boy. "…Where's this so-called 'Act II' you claimed, eh? If that was it, I'm insulted! HA!"
Gritting his teeth, Allen's expression slowly turned into a smile. "Crown… BELT!"
Looking at the corner of his eyes, Ojorojo's curiosity got the better of him as he witnessed several ropes of ectoplasmic Innocence wrapped around his feet, causing him to trip; the sudden impact caused the reiatsu field compressing the NetSaviors to disperse.
"Crap!" Ojorojo cursed as the NetSavior's Navis returned to their respectful PET's.
"Let's do it, Megaman! CROSS FUSION!!", Lan yelled as the two brothers initiated Cross Fusion.
Laika, Maylu and Dingo followed suit. "CROSS FUSION!"
In an extraordinary flash of light the four adolescents adorned data-like armor that looked like that of their respective Navis, all in a fighting position.
Ojorojo quickly pulled his foot out of the strands of Allen's Clown Belt, ripping the threads and destroying them in the process. Standing up, he began muttering under his breath something that sounded like 'son of a bitch'.
Unsheathing his two daggers, he Sonido-ed behind CF (Cross Fusion) Roll (Maylu), snidely spewing "Ladies first!"
Before the blades could reach her, however, CF Searchman (Laika) had successfully slapped the Arrancar with one swipe of his Scope Gun rifle.
Now with the cyan-colored Hollow off balance, CF Tomahawkman (Dingo) took his chance and swiped at the enemy. "TOMAHAWK SWING!!"
What caused everyone to be caught off guard was that Ojorojo caught the incoming axe with his feet, ripping off the handle and tackling Dr. Hikari with the axe in hand, poising it against his the good doctor's neck.
"Anyone moves, and the doctor loses his head!"
-
Taken aback by the sudden situation, the heroes failed to see a lone shadowy figure at the far end of the room. "Wait for it…", it whispered.
-
CF Megaman cursed under his breath. How could it get any worse for them? With his own father in danger, angering the captor was a risky idea. Suddenly, something quickly clicked in his mind. 'Where did Subaru and Warrock go?'
Perplexed, without turning his head, he glanced in all directions of peripheral vision, to notice a blurry, see-through form on the ceiling, hanging upside-down. 'Subaru!', Lan thought. 'Oh, he's good.' Megaman complemented.
Ojorojo squinted slightly, obviously catching on to what was really happening. Pulling out his daggers, he smirked and threw them sharply at the ceiling, stabbing the form in the ceiling.
Being forced to drop out of his 'Invis.' BattleCard, Subaru dropped to the floor, landing on his feet with the reflexes of a cat, revealing a cut on his armor at the right breast and a scratch on his left cheek, twin trickles of blood running down his face to his chin.
"Heh." Ojorojo smirked. "Thought so."
Then his jovial look suddenly turned dark. "Do you honestly think that sneaking up on me would do you any good? Best be dreaming, bitches."
With a flick of the wrist, both daggers flew back to his hand. He was ready to go for the kill. He began running towards the group with Doctor Hikari in tow, dragging him like a ragdoll. "Now, DIE!!"
-
The shadowy figure in hiding saw his opportunity. "Now!"
-
"Now, DIE!!"
At that moment, time had frozen. Ojorojo's pupils shrunk as he noticed a bright blue sphere of energy slammed itself into his stomach; forcing him to release Dr. Hikari, who had scooted out of the line of fire; and slammed into the wall behind him, debris falling to the ground around him.
"What… the hell…?" Looking up, his eyes shrunk again. " !! You're…!"
Allen, still on the floor from the pain, slowly turned his head to his left, seeing a light blue jackal/doglike figure, with light yellow chest fur that extended from neck to waist. Three white spikes were present on his body; one on each of the back of his hands, and on his sternum, just above where his breast muscles would be. Piercing ruby eyes bored in the eyes of the cyan-haired Arrancar.
CF Megaman, Roll, Searchman, Tomahawkman, and Rockman, gawked at the anamaloid, pure awe on their faces.
"My name…" The figure said. "Is…"
The scene turned black.
"…Lucario."
