" Well now! Isn't this a nice little reunion!? All my dear friends are here! Ziden! Terra! And the lovely Yukari Yakumo!" Kefka said while laughing his trademark laugh.

" I wouldn't call it a nice little reunion, after all, I do hate you and your friends over there." Ziden said while tapping his fingers on Crimson Edge's hilt.

" Same here, after all, you are trying to kill us." Yukari pointed out.

" That is only because you all stand in the way of our plan." Mithos said while pointing his finger at the group.

" Oh? And what would that plan be?" Yuyuko asked as Zemus growled.

" As if we'd tell you worthless Youkai and Humans." Zemus said as Ziden scoffed.

" You might as well tell us now. We're going to end up figuring out the plan later." Ziden said as Mithos glared at the teen.

" He's right. I've seen in the animes Mistress Kaguya used to watch, the villains always reveal their plans to the heroes!" Reisen said as Mokou scoffed.

" Damned NEET." Mokou sword under her breathe as Ziden leaned over to her.

" Get used to her presence, Mokou. You are both married to me after all." Ziden whispered as Mokou let out a growl.

" Enough of this nonsense. I believe it is time for all of you to fall into the eternal embrace of darkness!" Zemus yelled as he released a burst of darkness.

Beat the Angel ( Tales of Symphonia)

" Die! Blizzara!" Zemus fired a large ice chunk at the group, forcing them to disperse to dodge the attack.

Ziden fired a sword wave at the trio of villains as Mithos blocked the attack with his hand. Mithos waved his hand as he fired several balls of light at Ziden as they circled around him.

" Odd for a Ruler of Darkness to use Light based attacks, isn't it?" Ziden asked as Mithos chuckled.

" As if you're one to talk, hero. You use the power of Darkness even though you are a hero of justice. Quite ironic, actually." Mithos said as the balls of light changed into lances that were aimed at Ziden's chest. " Holy Lance!"

Ziden jumped high into the air, barely dodging the lances of light as Mithos appeared above him.

Mithos slammed his foot into Ziden's with enough force to shatter a skull as Ziden is sent plummeting into the ground.

Mithos blinks and finds himself surrounded by several silver knives. " Oh? So you can manipulate time, maid? How impressive, but worthless against me." Mithos waved his hand as all of the knives were blasted away by an unknown force.

Sakuya curses under her breath as she throws several knives at Mithos only for him to blast them away again. Meiling tried to deliver a vicious axe kick to the back of Mithos' skull, only for him to catch Meiling's leg in his hand without even turning around and he threw Meiling at Sakuya, causing Meiling to headbutt Sakuya and caused the duo to fly into a fence.

Mokou decided to try and capture Mithos in a cage of fire only for him to disappear from sight as Yukari quickly pulled Mokou out of the way and saved her from being skewered from a lance of light that was in Mithos' hand.

" This guy is tough if he is able to shrug off their attacks like this. Perhaps we need to change our strategy." Yukari thought as Ziden crawled out of the crater he made. " Ziden, Yuyuko! Help me take on Mithos while the others take on Zemus and Kefka!" Ziden and Yuyuko nodded as they ran over to Yukari, ready to back her up.

Mokou conjured up a lance of fire and threw them at Kefka as he skipped around to dodge them. " Hold still, you stupid clown!"

" Now why would I do that when I could get hurt from those attacks." Kefka said as he continued to dodge Mokou's attacks.

" Fira!" Terra fired a big fireball at Kefka, hitting him in the back as he tumbled and rolled into a fence as Zemus turned his attention on her.

" Worthless girl! Thundaga!" Zemus summoned a large thundercloud over Terra as it rained down large and powerful bolts of lightning that struck Terra and shocked her body to the point that she could barely remain standing.

" Oh crud! Terra!" Nitori screamed out Terra's name as she fell backwards and passed out on the ground.

Ziden looked at the unconscious form of Terra with shock written all over his face. " What the hell happened?! That was no ordinary Thundaga just now, it was powered up by the forces of darkness!"

" Damn! Zemus! Why'd you knock Terra out!? How am I supposed to torture her when she's out like a rock!?" Kefka yelled as Zemus focused his gaze on Ziden.

" You're next, Phoenix Boy! Blizzaga!" Zemus launched a giant chunk of ice at Ziden as he stopped the attack with his hand.

" Nice try, bald boy. Unlike Terra, it'll take more than that to take me down!" Ziden throws the Blizzaga spell back at Zemus, whom is caught off guard by the counter attack and is crushed under the ice.

Nitori sees as Kefka walks over to Terra and picks her up by the throat, increasing the pressure of his grip as his other hand was becoming covered in electricity. " Oh well! At least I can still kill you!"

" Oh no you don't!" Mokou and Meiling charged at Kefka and got ready to kick Terra free from Kefka's grip. Their feet slammed into a orange barrier and repelled their attacks as Zemus emerged from the pile of ice, relatively unharmed.

" Protect!" Zemus casted protect on Kefka as wild smirk appeared on his face.

Kefka pulled his hand back and pierced it through Terra's torso as everyone looked on in shock.

" Oh my! That was SOOOOOO invigorating! Too bad it ended too quickly!" Kefka said before breaking into a laugh.

" TERRAAAAAA!" Ziden ran over to Terra as Kefka pulled his hand out her stomach as blood poured out her wound as Kefka threw her body at Ziden. He caught her as his eyes turned red with anger.

" You're a dead man, Kefka!" Ziden used his fire to close the wound and opened a vortex back to the ship, mainly the Medical part of the ship. Ziden gently carried her to the bed and called for a doctor as Eirin ran into the room and saw the bleeding Terra on the bed.

Ziden reappeared in front of Kefka with a cold glare. Ziden was so focused on Kefka that he didn't sense Mithos behind him as he sees a hand coming through his chest, covered in blood and was clutching a white orb.

" You shouldn't have dropped your guard you fool! Death Eater!" Mithos crushed the orb as pillars of light pierced through Ziden's body, leaving large, bloody holes in his body as he cried in pain.

Mithos raised his hand into the sky and a purple sword appeared in his hand and he swung it down on Ziden's skull, only to hit steel as Komachi blocked the attack with her scythe.

Ziden's wounds healed his wound and threw a powerful punch into both Kefka and Mithos' torso, sending them flying into two different directions. Yukari threw a punch at Mithos, slamming him into the ground as Yuyuko summoned a flurry of ghosts to attack him while he was down.

" So these lowly worms do have some power in them. I think its time that I up the ante with my spells!" Zemus thought as he began gathering magic energy. " Blizzaga Storm!" A large magic circle appeared above him as a large cluster of giant ice chunks were flying towards the group.

" Mokou! With me!" Ziden yelled while coating his arms in fire.

" On it! Lets take these glaciers out!" Mokou raised her right leg and wrapped it in fire.

" Blazing Spector!"

" Phoenix Hibachi!" Ziden and Mokou combined their powerful fire attacks and melted and smashed the ice chunks to pieces as Zemus gritted his teeth. The duo's attacks were lighting up the sky as they continued to smash the ice chunks to pieces.


Sora watched as the steamboat slowed down a halt next to them as Pete sneaked off as everyone looked at the Cornerstone of Light that was in a completely shattered cage.

" What do we do about the Cornerstone though?" Aya asked while taking pictures of it.

" Leave it! We'll grab it after we deal with Pete!" Reimu said as they chased after Pete.

They reached the wharf and saw Future Pete punching Past Pete in the face, knocking him out as Sora and the others ran in front of past Pete.

" Heh! You're still wet behind the ears!" Pete taunted as Sora summoned the Star Seeker Keyblade.

" Why don't you try us then!?" Sora said as Pete cracked his knuckles.

Desire for all That is Lost ( Kingdom Hearts II)

Pete threw a bowling bowl at Sora whom simply blocked the attack and sent it rolling back towards Pete, causing an explosion that sent him into the air.

Aya shoulder charged into Pete's stomach, forcing him to cough up blood as she follows up with with a powerful punch that slammed Pete into a building as he fell down.

Luigi stood underneath where Pete was going to fall and crouched down. " Super Fire Jump!" Luigi hits the sweet spot when he strikes Pete in jaw, setting him ablaze as he is sent flying high into the sky.

Marisa was twirling a flask in her hand as she launched it at the airborne Pete exploding him into the building behind him, he slid down the wall and landed face-first on the ground, completely tired from the one sided beat-down he received from the group.

" Dang nabbit! I was so close to winning this time! Just you wait you brats! You'll get yours!" Pete summoned the door he used to enter this world in the first place, quickly entering it as Sora pointed his keyblade at the door and used its power to seal the door as they hear a large explosion coming from where their allies were fighting.

" What was that explosion!?" Luigi asked.

" We should worry about it later, we have to return the Cornerstone of Light to its rightful resting place before anything else." Donald said as they rushed back to the boat.

The team was now faced with the problem of bringing the Cornerstone of Light back to its resting place as Aya rubbed her hands together.

Aya walked over to the Cornerstone and picked it up as Sora and the others were amazed by her strength. Aya summoned her wings and took flight as Reimu picked up Sora and carried him to the site where the Cornerstone was and they saw that everyone was badly damaged from the Rulers of Darkness.

" Tch. About time you got here. Hurry up and put the Cornerstone down so I can take a rest." Ziden said before falling on his rear.

" Yeah, I could go for a nice nap right now." Yukari added as Ziden agreed.

Aya placed the Cornerstone of Light on the ground where it goes.

" Jeez, were those guys really that tough?" Reimu asked.

" Yeah! We turned the tables on them at one point, but then they started to pull out some crazy magic attacks!" Reisen said as Ziden crawled over to the door.

" Those guys were really tough, especially that Mithos guy." Meiling said while carrying Sakuya on her back.

" That man's sword, something felt strange about it. It had alot of powerful magic coming off of it." Yuyuko said while rubbing her stomach.

" Lets go see if the thorns in the castle are gone yet." Mario suggested as everyone walked near the door. Mokou picked up Ziden and carried him through the door as they saw that the thorns were gone.

" Wow! The thorns are gone!" Minnie said as the group examined the room.

" That's good. Now we don't have to deal with Heartless in the castle anymore, right?" Sora asked.

" Indeed! Thanks to your actions, the castle should now be Heartless free." Merlin said.

" Well, I'd say we did a good job here... well minus Terra getting injured by Kefka and Zemus." Nitori said.

" Terra got injured, ze? By those two clowns?" Marisa asked.

" Yep." Ziden simply said.

" Donald!" Donald turned and saw a female anthromorphic duck wearing a purple dress.

" Who is that?" Meiling asked.

" Daisy! Donald's sweetheart." Goofy said as Ziden chuckled.

" Don't know why you're laughing, Mister I-have-four-girlfriends." Mokou said while elbowing Ziden.

" Hi Daisy." Donald said as Daisy approached him.

" Donald! You have been gone way too long!" Daisy said as Donald backed away.

" Daisy! You know I have to find the King!" Donald said as Daisy stomped her foot.

" I know, but you could at least kept in touch with me!" Daisy said as she continued to lay into Donald. Donald sighed as he looked back at the door with a mischeivious grin.

" Donald! No!" Merlin said.

" I'll just be a second!" Donald ran over to the door, only to have his tail grabbed by Daisy.

" Oh no you don't!" Daisy said as Donald shook her off. " Donald!" Dasiy chased Donald all around the room as everyone watched and laughed.

A red light came off of the Cornerstone of Light as Sora's keyblade appeared. Sora ended up unlocking a Gateway to a new world as an Orb containing a Blue Crown landed in Sora's hand and a new Keychain as well.

" What was that light?" Minnie asked.

" Well we must get going then. More worlds we've got to save." Ziden said as Donald and Daisy stopped their chase.

" Donald, make sure you come back in piece, okay?" Daisy asked.

" Don't worry! We'll return safely with the King in tow!" Donald said while doing a salute.

" Ah yes! I shall see you the next time you visit Hollow Bastion!" Merlin said before teleporting away.

" Stay safe, you guys!" Minnie said as the Magic Circle appeared around the group and sent them back to the ship.

Back on the ship, Ziden and Yukari immediately went to the T.V room and sat down on the couch and passed out. Yuyuko watched as Ziden's head landed on Yukari's shoulder and Yukari cracked a smile on her face as she fell into a deeper sleep.

" Its good to know that they still get along." Yuyuko said as Eiki entered the room with Daiyousei in tow.

" Damn. I was hoping to catch him before he fell asleep." Eiki said to herself as she looked at the sleeping duo.

" Hmm? What's wrong, Eiki?" Yuyuko asked.

" It appears that Gensokyo is having trouble dealing with the Ultima Brigade." Eiki said as Ziden snapped awake.

" What's happening now?" Ziden asked while yawning.

" The Zealots are attacking Gensokyo in full force, even those Shinra and Interpol agents are having trouble dealing with them.

" Let me guess, you want us to go back and lend a hand, right?" Yukari added as Eiki nodded.

" I know that you guys just got out of a fight with those Rulers of Darkness, it is fine if you guys want to rest before heading back to Gensokyo." Eiki said as Daiyousei flew over and landed on Ziden's head.

"...Sure. At least this would be an excuse for me to explore Gensokyo." Ziden said while getting up.

Ziden stretched his back as Patchouli and Meiling entered the room. " Well if it isn't the Librain and the Gatekeeper, how are you two doing?" Ziden asked.

" We're fine, Ziden. We were just coming to check up on you, after all you did take alot damage in that fight against those Magic Users." Patchouli said while walking around and looking at Ziden.

" I'm fine, I mean my body still hurts but I'm good." Ziden said while walking out of the room. Ziden walked through the hallways randomly as he noticed Mokou leaning against a wall, having a smoke.

" Hey there." Mokou said while walking over to Ziden.

" Howdy, white hair. Fancy seeing you here." Ziden said while walking next to her.

" Yep, so I heard that we're heading back to Gensokyo, is that true?" Mokou asked.

" Indeed. Looks like I get to explore Gensokyo after all." Ziden said as Mokou nodded.

" Yep, lucky you. I wonder if those Heartless got into Gensokyo as well." Mokou wondered as they stood next to Ziden's door.

" I hope not. Otherwise I'll have some work to do. At least I'll have Dante to help me." Ziden said as Mokou kicked open his door. Mokou immediately landed on his bed and took off her boots. " Was that necessary to kick open my door, Mokou?"

" It was." Mokou answered as Ziden turned on the T.V in his room. " I thought you and Dante hated each other."

" We don't, we just love to fight each other on occasion." Ziden sat next to Mokou while he turned on his game and started playing it. Mokou decided to lay down on Ziden's lap and watch him play the game.

" So what's the point of this...game you're playing?" Mokou asked.

" Simple, kill things with a Beam Katana while earning money to kill more people." Ziden said as she watched the bloodshed that Ziden was causing in the game. " Do all of the games you play involve you killing someone?"

" Nah, just most of them." Ziden answered as Patchouli walked in with a book in hand. " Hey there, care to join us?"

" Sure, may I sit next to you?" Patchouli asked as Ziden nodded.

Patchouli took her seat next to Ziden as she opened her book and began reading. Ziden enjoyed playing the game until his field of vision became pitch black. " Guess who~?" A voice that Ziden knew that was all too familiar.

" Get off my eyes Yukari. I can't see." Ziden said as he heard Yukari giggling.

" Well, its not like you're about to die or anything. You're at full health!" Yukari stated as Ziden got hit in the game. " Well, that just took off a fair bit of health!"

" Goddamn asshat, Yukari." Ziden swore as Yukari hugged Ziden from behind.

" So how are you doing? Get past that old lady with the Laser yet?" Yukari asked.

" No. I keep dying so I'm just doing some sidequests until I figure out how to beat her." Ziden said as Patchouli chuckled.

" Maybe I can help, head to this boss and we'll see what to do about it." Patchouli said as Ziden ended up finishing the sidequest and headed to the Boss Fight. Ziden skipped the cutscene as the Boss Fight began.

" Ah, Ziden? You did notice that those buildings have wooden doors that look breakable, right?" Patchouli pointed out as Ziden scratched his temple.

" I never noticed that, hold on." Ziden sent the character over to the door and rapidly attacked it with the Beam Katana as it broke and Ziden dove into the building before the giant red laser hit his character.

" Wow, that thing could put a Master Spark shame." Mokou said as Ziden continued to jump between the buildings.

" My my, looks like you've got this. Go, Travis, go!" Yukari cheered as Travis sliced down a telephone pole and it slammed into the old lady's cannon, stopping her from firing the cannon as Travis ran at the Old Lady.

Travis approached the cannon as the screen went black and a cutscene began to play.

" Really? That was it? That sucked." Ziden said as he watched Travis slice through the cannon barrel and leap high into the air.

" Oh well, at least you beat her. Maybe the next boss will be harder." Yukari suggested as Ziden got up and opened his closet door. Inside were a whole assortment of Game Consoles ranging from the NES to the Wii U.

" Meh. Not enough time for another game. Maybe I should just take a nap." Ziden thought while colsing the door to the game closet.

There was a knock at Ziden's door. " Come in." A man wearing a black suit entered the room and bowed down.

" Boss! There is a message for you from Earth!" The man announced as Ziden walked past the man and headed for the Control Room with the Trio following him.

" Hey Daiyousei? What part of Gensokyo are you from?" Ziden asked.

" The Misty Lake near that red mansion." Daiyousei answered as Ziden entered the Control Room and saw Dante standing near the Terminal.

Ziden went to the Terminal punched some buttons as a screen appeared. The screen had an Image of Reiji on it as he started speaking.

" Ziden, about time you answered. We've got a problem over here in Gensokyo." Reiji explained as Ziden scratched his head.

" What's the problem? Too many Zealots to deal with?" Ziden asked.

" No, the Zealots aren't the problem. Its these White Creatures that have been tearing through our forces." Reiji said as Dante and Ziden looked at each other.

" It looks the Nobodies are already invading Gensokyo, regardless of the new barrier in place." Yukari said as she entered the room.

" That's not the only problem, it seems that they sent in one of the Metal Generals here." Reiji said as Ziden clicked his teeth, " Not only that, but one of our scouts spotted Phantom and Ace being here." At the merely saying these names, Ziden and Yukari looked at each other.

" Inform us more on the situation when we get there." Ziden aimed the Teleporter at Gensokyo and walked off towards the Teleporter Room with Dante and Yukari following him.

" Looks like we'll have a fight on our hands. It'll be my first time in Gensokyo so I can't wait." Dante said as Ziden called for everyone to meet at the Teleporter Room.

Everyone gathered in the room, expecting to draw straws to get picked for the next world, only to see that Ziden was not holding straws.

" What's going on? How come you don't have those straws for us to take?" Cirno asked.

" Because we're heading back to Gensokyo." Yukari said as everyone had a shocked expression.

Ziden explains what's going on before anyone starts to ask questions. " So things have gotten bad in Gensokyo fast, huh?" Sanae asked as Ziden nodded.

" But I am going to give you one warning Ziden and Dante; Do not head to the Underground. That place is too risky for you two to go to, got it?" Yukari warned as the duo nodded.

" You guys might want to head to your homes and check up on them. If they've been taken over, then take it back." Ziden suggested as everyone nodded.

" *Sigh* At least we'll get to see Gensokyo again." Reimu said as the Circle activated.

The group found themselves outside the Myouren Temple as Ziden and Dante approached the stairs.

" Hold up, you two." Ziden and Dante turned around and saw that Patchouli was walking over to them. " I'm coming with you two. You'll need a guide if you two plan on exploring Gensokyo."

" Wait, how does a shut-in like you, know about about key locations in Gensokyo?" Dante asked.

" I have left my library before, so I know some places in Gensokyo." Patchouli leaned in closer to the duo. " Especially where the Underground is."

" Good, although I wonder why Yukari warned us not to enter the Underground though." Ziden asked.

" Probably alot of Demons and Youkai down there." Dante added.

" She probably said that because of the abundance of Oni down there." Patchouli said as Ziden and Dante looked at each other.

" What the hell is an Oni?" The duo asked in unison.

" Powerful, fight happy Youkai that love to trade blows with powerful foes like you two. She probably said that because of the large number of female Oni down there. They do have a habit of kidnapping strong men and marking them with golden shackles." Patchouli explained.

" I see. I'd rather not deal with having a woman who could probably kick my ass, be my wife." Ziden said as he sensed two people coming out of the Temple.

" Hey guys! And Touhou girls!" Xiaomu came running out of the temple with Reiji following behind her.

" Oh. Hey there Reiji and Xiaomu." Ziden said as they noticed that Ziden's hair was longer than before.

" Ah, so that was the clone we saw before. Well its good that we have the original with us now." Reiji said as Ziden turned around fully.

Ziden was about to saw something to Reiji as Ziden smelled something and began to sniff frantically, so did Remilia and Flandre.

" That smell."

" That's blood, isn't it sis?"

" Yeah and its coming from the Human Village."

The minute Mokou heard this she immediately took flight and flew towards the Human Village, leaving everyone behind as Dante smelled something as well.

" There are demons nearby, hiding in buildings nearby." Dante said as Remilia and Kaguya ran near the steps. " Only two, but I remember them both."

" The only two buildings nearby here are Eientei and the Scarlet Devil Mansion." Reimu said.

" Flandre! Meiling! Sakuya! With me!" Remilia took flight and flew towards the Scarlet Devil Mansion with Flandre, Meiling and Sakuya flying after them.

" Princess, let us go and secure Eientei from this demon. Udonge, you're coming with us as well." Eirin took flight with the Princess and Reisen following after her.

" Well, since you're here, I'll go check up on the Outside World and make sure that everything is all right out there." Yukari said before she disappeared into a gap.

Everyone else headed to their homes to make sure that nothing had been destroyed by these invaders.

" Reiji? You staying here for now?" Ziden asked.

" Yeah, after we repelled these invaders, we plan on coming with you guys." Reiji said as Dante smirked.

" It'll be like old times, Reiji and Xiaomu. Us going to different worlds and beating up people for being evil, it'll be fun." Dante said as Ziden agreed.

" Sure." Ziden said as they descended down the stairs. " Lead the way to the Underground, Miss Patchouli."

" Very well. Follow me please." Patchouli said as she led the way to the Underground as a gap closed above them.

Mario, Luigi, Kirby, Bowser, Sora, Donald and Goofy were the only people left at the temple as they decided to stay at the temple for a rest.

Meanwhile in the Netherworld...

Phantom was standing in front of a massive tree that had no petals on its branch. The tree itself had an evil presence about it and seemed to radiate pure hate. " Soon, Saigyou Ayakashi, your power will be mine and your true form will be unleashed."

Fun Fact:

1. Ziden was playing No More Heroes for the Nintendo Wii and was having trouble against the Rank 3 boss, Speed Buster.

2. No More Heroes is one of the few M rated games you can find on the Wii and is also one of my favorite games on the system along with Super Mario Galaxy 1 and 2, Sonic Colors, Metroid Other M, Metroid Prime 3, Kirby's Epic Yarn and Return to Dreamland, Xenoblade Chronicles and so much more.
