"My...it seems there is a lot of damage from the distortion." said a familiar woman with monsters. "Who knows what is going to happen here."
It was then that the group entered the area.
"Okay, first we were in a mall, now we're right in Shibuya?" Akira said.
"These rifts just keep dragging us around all over the place." Saki said.
"Well they are portals. Not like they can actually tell you where they lead." Indigo said.
"Yeah, and we're not alone here." Aya said.
"Oh right….she's here." Jexi said, referring to the woman.
"You know her?" Belladonna asked.
"Saya...she leads an organization called Ouma. Or an agent of it. I could never fully understand. Needless to say, currently, she's an enemy." Jexi said.
"Good to note. I'll admit, it's a little weird seeing her like this." Cheetah said. "But I guess it would make sense that she had that kind of past."
"I see, so you all are from a different time in some way or another. Suffice it to say, since you all have seen me here, I can't let any of you leave alive." Saya said.
"We won't let that happen!" a voice said as Stahn, Rutee, and Leon appeared.
"Our friends." Saki said.
"Oh my...is this supposed to frighten me?" Saya said as the ground under the three erupted into spikes and sent them crashing in defeat.
"Oh no!" Aya said.
"The heck? That came out of...no. I've seen this before." Jexi said.
"So dirty...a world completely filled with nothing but hero filth." a voice said as a man in a plague doctor mask stood on the defeated.
"That mask… Overhaul." Cheetah said.
"I know him. He's the leader of the Shie Hassaikai right? Or was. I heard you guys had a hand in taking him down." Ty said.
"Specifically, Midoriya and Shirogane. But that doesn't make sense. How is he back here?" Cheetah asked.
"What can I say...this new world agrees with me. There's no room for those playing hero." Overhaul said.
"Heh, try and stop us then." Zephron mocked. "I don't care what you have up your sleeves, I'll make sure you regret saying crap like that."
"...I think that we can get them up." Richard remarked, seeing the defeated trio. "...Any of you got any healing spells? And keep the monsters as well our dear villains busy."
"Oh, these guys…" Overhaul said. "Sorry...but we aren't handing them over." he said, kicking them over to a couple of monsters.
"Damn...it." Stahn growled. "This guy...we couldn't even fight back."
"Hang tight, Stahn. We'll get you guys out of there." Belladonna said.
"Oh...you sound so confident." Saya said as a red horse and blue bull arrived with reinforcements. "Dokumezu, Dokugozu...are you two feeling frisky?"
"Yes, lady Saya!" they both shouted.
"Oh so they can talk now? Last time they didn't even say a word." Rutee said.
"Ugh...these three are annoying. I think I'll put them out right…" Overhaul said as a bullet flew between them. "Hmm?"
"Where did that come from?" Dokugozu said.
"Heh...from above naturally. That's how these sorts of intros work after all." Jexi said pointing above as four figures stood there.
"I'm well familiar with how you operate...agent of Ouma." The figure said as standing there were Reiji and Xiaomu along with Elena and Anastasia.
"Hey, guys. Long time no see." Elena said.
"Reiji, and Xiaomu too!" Stahn said.
"I had a feeling something like this would happen." Saya sighed.
"I have no idea what you're plotting with Overhaul, Saya, but we won't let you get away with it!" Reiji said as the four of them jumped from the top of the building and landed in the center of the conflict.
"They're Shinra agents. And agents from the Multiversal Anomalies division." Saya said, noticing the four new arrivals.
"Long time no see!" Rutee said.
"Not to spoil the reunion... But could we get some help?" Stahn asked.
"No worries. I've got your back. Let's go, Anastasia." Elena said.
The two of them drove Overhaul back as he joined Saya, securing the three wounded.
"Ugh… it's just one distraction after another today…" Overhaul said dusting himself off.
"How annoying." Leon said.
"No worries. You can take out your frustration on these guys. It's about to become an all out slugfest." Ty said. "So no need to worry. We can make up for this in spades."
Chapter 4
Arisu in Wonderland
"It would only seem fitting to wear this then." Leon said, donning his Judas disguise.
"Thanks for the save, guys. What are you even doing here?" Indigo asked.
"Long story. We were investigating this strange situation until we ran into Reiji and Xiaomu." Elena said.
"Then we started looking around until we found you people." Anastasia said. "Didn't think I'd find you in this kind of crowd, Morrigan?"
"What can I say, we're all living in strange times." Morrigan said. "Besides, things are just as strange in the Makai Realm as they are here."
"Right, Jedah's return. That's something that can't easily be ignored." Anastasia said.
"We need to focus. We have four enemies." Elena said.
"Oh, don't worry. Me and Reiji can handle the two barnyard rejects." Xiaomu said.
"We'll take Overhaul, then. Can I trust the rest of you with Saya?" Elena asked.
"Yeah, just leave it to us!" Stahn said.
The heroes prepared for battle as Overhaul and Saya looked at each other.
"Well now, I suppose we're working together for a bit." Saya said.
"Seems we are. Just keep in mind, this is only temporary. Our alliance will dissolve once they're dead and I get that brat back." Overhaul said.
"I have no issues with that." Saya said.
Both Reiji and Xiaomu went at the two Ouma enforcers and their monsters as they attacked.
Multi Attack- Mystic Fox Neutralize Technique: Fox Lord Seal
Xiaomu hopped in and sealed the two and their monsters into a sphere and kicked it up before repeatedly stabbing it with her staff before it exploded as she cosplayed in a wedding dress. "Happy Wedding!"
K.O.!
"Gah! I can't believe we got beat by that." Dokugozu said.
"Next time, we won't go so easy." Dokumezu said as the two of them fled.
"Huh, last time we fought you, it was when you were fused to that mech." Rutee said to Saya.
"It's been a few years since that little crisis, hasn't it?" Saya said.
"Yes, it has." Leon said. "And here we are again."
"So it seems. You really should have stayed down. Save yourselves some embarrassment." Saya said.
"Don't think we'll go down that easily! Rutee, Leon, with me!" Stahn said, drawing Dymlos.
(Cue- Irony of Fate- Namco x Capcom)
Ready...Fight!
Team Special Attack- Tales of Destiny
"Let's go!" Stahn said as a fiery aura flared around him. "Take this! Final Fury!" he called, dealing a variety of sword strikes and martial arts kicks as Rutee soon jumped in.
"Leave some for me!" Rutee said. "Wander in frigid mist! Perish to frozen fangs! Embrace the cold at the moment you fall! Embrace End!" she called, as a pillar of ice encased Saya before it shattered.
"Now your end." Leon said as the area around them became enshrouded in a bright light as he cloaked himself with dark feathers and created a silhouette of himself as he striked forward, creating a chain of dark energy spikes that lifted Saya upward as his silhouette vanished into the air. He reappears above Saya , and he slashes downward with both his sword and dagger, knocking her back to the ground.
K.O.!
End Battle:
"Alright!" Stahn said.
"Hmph, too easy." Leon said.
"You two never change, do you?" Rutee asked.
"Well...you three have gotten a bit stronger...but not by much." Saya said getting up. "Still, it's way too early to kill you or for me to die. I still have my job to think of. So...see ya." Saya said as she ran off.
"Wait! Damn it." Stahn said. "Just what is she up to this time?"
"With her being involved, trouble always follows." Rutee said.
"You're all that's left, Overhaul. Let's make this quick." Elena said.
"Sigh...so many pretenders today." Overhaul sighed. "The odds are too against me right now. But don't worry. I'm not forgetting this...not by a longshot." Overhaul said as a wall erupted from the ground between him and the agents.
"If he's back, then that means that things are worse for wear than we thought." Elena said.
"No kidding." Jexi said. "I think it's time we shared some info with you."
"Funny, I was thinking the same thing." Elena said.
