Chapter 4 - Second Floor
Yomiyama Middle School - Beginning
The six of them Luffy, Zoro, Nami, Usopp, Sarge and Tucker had walk close to each other, making sure no one is to leave or somehow sneak up on them. They weren't too sure about this place and from what they are experiencing, they can't afford to make mistakes. The only ones unaffected by this school are Luffy, Sarge and Tucker who are continuing to move around the floor either in caution or goofing off. Both Sarge and Tucker had explained about themselves of how they are in conflict with one another, how they are both red team and blue team just are separated from the rest at the moment. Yet this explanation sort of confused them as they couldn't make heads or tails about what they are saying or how this... conflict actually works. From everyone's preceptive they seem to be similar in both armor and way they behave. Granted for some like Nami and Usopp they couldn't tell if they are nuts or just plain crazy. Either case isn't good despite being the similar yet different in every way. They told their stories to both Tucker and Sarge, both seeing the children as civilians yet for someone like Sarge it can be unpredictable. Currently Usopp and Nami are arguing with Sarge and Tucker about the so called conflict they are fighting.
"So you guys are suppose to be... futuristic soldiers?" Usopp asked trying to wrap around the idea these guys aren't from their world but somehow are outer space.
"And you two are part of an faction, that literally fighting over... color armor teams?" Both Nami and Usopp have been asking this because
"Is that so hard to understand?" Sarge wondered what's the problem with their explanation.
"Because it's stupid!" Both Nami and Usopp shouted.
"You guys are the same, you wear similar armors, you work at similar bases, and you both are in the same canyon that has absolutely nothing worth fighting over and you think that's okay!" Nami nearly yelled at both Sarge and Tucker for their lack of caring for anything or anyone.
"What! That's absurd, while you four are just children, me and Red team have been fighting for the glory of our team for many years, someone as young as you missy doesn't understand the principle of the matter." Sarge said to Nami, treating Nami as someone that doesn't understand the concept of the battle.
"Man who is that chick?" Tucker asked.
"Not sure, we just met her like all of us did." Luffy said to Tucker.
"So your saying somehow you guys were brought to this weird castle, and you guys never even met each other until today?" Tucker clarified with the two, nodding for yes.
"Man, so where did you guys come from?" Tucker asked curious about why they are part of this crazy castle.
"Well I was at the mountains training to leave, since I promise to work until 10 years to adventure out to sea, I'm only 14 so I have 3 more years to go." Luffy said.
"Huh, what are you training for exactly?" Tucker asked.
"Well I'm going to be King of the Pirates!" Luffy declared with joy smiling.
"... I'm sorry what!" Tucker shock at Luffy's declaration.
"I know, he's crazy. But he's set on becoming the Pirate King no matter what. Me..." Zoro then pulled out his sword that Kuina used to wield, "I want to become the greatest swordsman in the world."
"Okay that's even more weirder then being a Pirate King. I mean what do you intend on once you both achieve this?" Tucker wondered. Before they could answer they heard more screams down the hallway.
"Sounds like trouble." Sarge pointed out the obvious.
"Come on." Luffy rushed ahead of them before the two soldiers could react, they are almost left behind when the others rushed past them.
"Man you guys are fast." Tucker said trying to keep up since he along with his buddies aren't used to running so much.
Yomiyama Middle School - Class 5: Sanji, Usopp, Nami, Zoro, Luffy, Griff, Simmons, Sarge, Tucker, Caboose, Izumi, Yukari, Tomohiko, Mei, and Kouichi
Meanwhile the mystery of this school is left unknown, the five residents would have explained to the others about what has been happening for sometime. But the problem is they felt most uncomfortable about these people, since they can't trust anyone that isn't part of this school, including how they are experiencing personal suffering from this place. So the others explained their own lives to them, the first are the trio from Reds and Blues, explaining their current predicament. Most of them couldn't take what they are saying seriously or just couldn't follow along since some of their story didn't make much sense. Caboose didn't help as Simmons and Griff shout at their childish friend to shut up for a moment. Sanji knew what this felt like as he recently been with someone that just doesn't have brains or just had rough childhood.
"So your eyebrows are curly because they had someone pull your eyebrows and twisted up to make them curly." Caboose said to Sanji, annoyed by his comments of his eyebrows.
"I told you already I was born with this." Sanji calmly told Caboose.
"Ah your eyebrows were burned off and you draw some eyebrows on your forehead but messed up." Caboose added once more, this time making Sanji tick off at Caboose constant annoyance.
"You might as well give up, Caboose isn't the most brightest on the blue team." Griff stated to Sanji.
"As far as how dumb he can be, not too sure other then he somehow gets team kills." Simmons added.
"How does someone like him become soldier?" Izumi wonder, seeing not just Caboose but the other two behave like they shouldn't be in the army.
"Not sure, he just like that all the time." Tucker said.
"Still a dirty blue if you ask me." Sarge comment.
"No one cares." Tucker said to Sarge.
"Seems too convenience for you people to just show up and save us." Tomohiko said with suspicion for the others.
"Well maybe if you at least tell us why this is happening, maybe we can do something about it." Griff suggested.
"You actually helping to work?" Simmons said in surprise.
"Ah no, I just said that to be sensitive to their emotional feeling I can imagine is F up by now." Griff said about their plight.
"But you have to wonder how did this happen, I mean it's bad enough we go through this castle from top to bottom, but now we enter some weird place and a school somehow?" Nami is still trying to process this much information loaded on top them.
"Well that guy in the black coat didn't help much, all he did was send us to Glados and we were suppose to return back somehow?" Usopp said.
"I feel we're kinda lost since you guys obviously aren't working together." Tomohiko pointed out after listening to their conversation for awhile.
"Well I don't know where these kids came from, but I can guess somehow they were brought here by some unknown abilities the blues made. Since you two are here, that means your commanding officer church is waiting for you lot to finish the job and somehow he appears next to you after stepping on our dead corpse." Sarge pointed the blame at Caboose and Tucker currently here.
"What the heck is with you trying to blame others for your own faults!" Zoro shouted fed up with this red suited moron.
"I ain't blaming no one, I'm simply saying the blues are at fault for our situation." Sarge corrected.
"THAT'S BLAMING SOMEONE!" Nami, Usopp, Zoro, Sanji, Grif, Simmons and Tucker shouted at the same time.
"AND WE ARE SHOUTING!" Both Caboose and Luffy shouted.
"Besides that, it's obvious some of us aren't together or part of this school. Otherwise we would have seen you after our deaths or previous deaths." Izumi stated, this gain everyone attention outside of the school residents.
"What you do mean deaths?" Nami asked. Most of them aren't too sure how to explain, but weren't sure if any of them could explain it properly. Mei seems to take the stand and speaks on their behalf.
"We have experience more then one death since school has been cursed." Mei explained the short version of what is happening.
"D-D-Deaths?! As in more then once?!" Usopp is freaking out from hearing this revelation.
"Of course you can't die more then once, that's scientifically impossible." Simmons reminds them it was impossible and they could be experiencing something else.
"That is the truth!" Yukari shouted angry and understanding how this could be impossible, but she knew the truth. They all did since this has been happening more then once, Yukari couldn't handle this and corrected Simmons explaining with heart felt tears, "You don't know what it is like, to have yourself die over and over again. To have yourself not remember how you die only that you believe it as some dream. We ended up dying so many times, the only reason we remember is because our last written message from our last lives. When reading this we ended up realizing that all of our deaths really happen and we somehow experience them over and over again. The only reason we're alive is because somehow we got together and came here for safety." Yukari had enough and began to cry her eyes out trying to not remember what had happen before hand. Sanji being a gentlemen comforting Yukari along with Nami hugging Yukari as she tried to say more.
"You have no understanding what we're going through and you speak as if you know better then us? What gives you or any one of you to say that's not possible or is possible?" Yukari told Simmons still shedding some tears as she couldn't handle her emotions anymore.
"Okay I'm sorry, just that nothing makes sense here. I mean for all we know this could be some weird, this could be some hallucation or some weird-"
"Simmons." Sanji spoke glaring at Simmons solemnly saying, "Simmons, I don't know you very long, but when a lady tells the honest truth while crying her eyes out, it's best you believe them." Sanji advise. Normally Simmons would have an argument or some dumb moment that reds would do at times, but deep down he feels bad for not believing them or at least hear their story before judging them.
"Wow, nice going Simmons. No wonder you have trouble with girls." Grif said.
"Normally I wouldn't agree with Grif, but considering you just made a girl cry, I'm honestly disappointed in you Simmons" Sarge said for once agreeing with Grif.
"You that sounds weird with you agreeing." Grif admits.
"Same." Sarge also agrees both disappointed at Simmons.
"Seriously dude you really need to be more sensitive towards girls." Tucker said disappointed with Simmons.
"Okay, you don't have to rub it in my face, but can you at least prove what your saying is true?" Simmons asked, Mei was the first to hold the book all torn but still able to be written inside.
"This hold all of our past lives written in this book, but when we write something we did last time before death, our past memories are unlocked. Allow us to remember how we die and what we did last time." Mei explained. Everyone look at the book given to them. But before they could do anything they heard screaming down the hallways. Before anyone could react Sanji ran out first hearing a ladies screams.
"Hey wait!" Tucker shouted following behind them along with others chasing from far behind.
Aperture Conquers respite - Crystal Gems and Yoda
For a moment the four of them took a resting spot where they could talk about what is happening and if Yoda somehow knew what they are facing. For all their powers and abilities, to have them somehow removed at this time really has them in some weird place they can't grasp or imagine happening. Each of them are experiencing distress as they must come to terms of their situation. Yet deep inside each of them feel they are suffering some form of inner demons they must face. Amethyst is least confident about herself and their chances of surviving this Castle, for her inner struggles is self-worth as she always felt she could do anything or whatever she wanted. But in that instant her powers, abilities, everything that makes Amethyst is now strip away like she is used up and no good anymore. The only comfort she has is Pearl, Ruby and Sapphire also feel the same about their situation.
For Ruby, she couldn't control her frustration about what they are experience. First is not only her powers taken without warning, she also has no power to fused together into Garnet. This has left some holes in ruby's heart as she doesn't know what she should be doing with what this castle has done to her and the gems. What she does know is Sapphire is experiencing the same just not like the others as she is taking her problems pretty well. Yet that can't be truly said as Sapphire is experiencing the same problems just has greater control of her emotions or at least be strong for Ruby. Pearl on the other hand is oddly the most unresponsive to the situation, sure she was shock and frighten at first, yet she somehow remained calm after they started to explore the castle.
As they walk everyone is in silence except for Pearl, being more untrusting of Yoda as he guided them through the hallways. For the most part Pearl has been trying to gain information about D'go, his reason for being here and why they are here as well. This to distract the fact that someone like that... thing somehow knows about Rose and has history with her. Worse he even knows about Steven as she sometimes see as Rose in him. Even worse is with Garnet at the moment dispose because their powers don't function as much, she worried they might come across something they might not defeat as easily or able to fight back as they should have been already. Yet this place... this castle has brought some hinderance she and others have not experience before hand. Now they are to face dangers that shouldn't have been possible and are uncertain without Garnet leading or future vision. Not even Sapphire can give any assured even if she tried.
"So how far do we have to go?" Amethyst demand, tired of walking without doing something.
"Patient my gem friends, answers you seek lay ahead. In form, one doesn't always like." Yoda answered.
"Did anyone get what he just said?" Ruby asked confused by his speech pattern.
"Just don't worry, we should be reaching our destination." Sapphire assured, but wasn't too sure herself.
"How can you be alright with this, you two were just freaking out moments ago and now your okay with... this?! For all we know this could be some diamonds trick to shattered us after he leads us to some trap." Pearl tried to give reason, yet her reasoning couldn't hold since she is unable to speak or think properly.
"Sense your troubles I do, understand them I can. This place and people, are not what they seems. Past life seen once more, experience again only in different way. Gain perspective one can." Yoda said, confusing the four gems. After some walk they finally entered the room where Glados is located. She then introduce herself knowing that their is more walking towards this castle.
oh goody, more recruits for testing.
But then again, can you test robots that have no purpose or meaning.
The Gems got in their stance cautious about this being.
"Who are you?" Pearl demanded.
Oh look if it isn't the stick bug, still having problems in the circus?
"Did she just make a bug life reference?" Amethyst confusedly said.
Maybe you will be interesting, at least better then the last people.
"What is this ting talking about?" Ruby shouted, trying to feel strong when she feels powerless in this situation.
"Others have come to this place, both random or destine for something more. Glados, we meet again, once more." Yoda said.
...You escape?
I would have place you in my testing chambers if I wasn't so busy by D'go demands.
But now that you escape I might as well make sure your dead this time.
"You can, if you must. I offer a proposal, for those who enter this castle. If you truly test us, let us reach the top together. For science you can see, interaction by other worlds and species, makes for science." What Yoda said is confusing and hard to understand. But from what it sounds like he is offering something that the machine Glados couldn't refuse. The Gems are feeling very lost and confused by these events and are wondering how Yoda is able to either talk or make sense of his own speech. At the same time chose to not say anything as they find themselves very weak and vulnerable to Glados. Yet if this green man can talk his way out, they should be okay for the most part.
While I find your speech to be out of order, you are saying that all of you being in this castle can be considered a test is what your saying?
"Indeed, many of us not know one or another, live different life, friends or enemy from one another. Experiment this, very interested you are, how our interaction work or behave by this meeting." Yoda said. Glados said nothing for sometime, but then she spoke out of curious tone.
You offer an ideal test without asking for anything.
The chances of you using this against me are high.
But your idea is interesting never the less.
Very well I will allow your group and the next to meet.
Knowing D'go would rather send people away instead of killing them here.
But if you cause me problems, I will destroy you and end this once and for all.
As soon as Glados appeared she also disappeared, leaving for questions then answers for our group.
"Okay, I know you somehow save our lives, but CAN YOU AT LEAST EXPLAIN WHAT IS GOING ON!" Amethyst shouted now upset after everything they are experiencing.
"Follow me towards the exit, through there I will tell you what you seek." Yoda assures them. Taking his word they walk though the exit knowing there is nothing they could do at this point, but knew they had to at least find out what is happen and how they can escape.
Yomiyama Middle School - Unused Classroom
At another room are other students who have manage to survive as far as they have till now. Right now they are waiting and planning how to escape or defeat the monsters from this horrible place, using what memories they have from past experience. While they have no clear understanding they knew that some journal of their past lives before death gave them memories to what they experience and how they can improve on this current encounter. But even then those monsters made things harder to survive this place, currently there are Mei, Kouichi, Tomohiko, Yumi, Matsuko, Naomi, Aki, Ikuo, Takako, Noboru, Naoya, Junta, Nakao, Haruka, San Makoto, Kenzou, Shojo and Mikami are all together as they have planned. What makes this situation weird or theorized is how all those in this school are members from Class 3-3 gathered together. They believe it's related to the curse they have seen or heard over the years. This meant that somehow in someway whatever is happening is enhancing this curse to more dangerous degrees. At the moment while the students are resting and are chatting among themselves, the selected members Mei along with her two teachers Shojo and Maikmi are discussing to themselves about the situation separated from everyone. The classroom is one of the rarity that has spare rooms for itself.
"Everyone has gone as planned, but I feel something has changed." Mei said to Shojo and Mikami.
"It has master, our comrades have found the others, but we now have new problems joined this school." Mikami explained.
Mei then said with a small smirk, "New playmates?"
"Yes, from what we have gathered after confronting them they are five children in average clothes, one carries two swords, a girl carrying some staff, a long nose boy with a bow and no arrows, a well dress boy in suit like some resturant, and a boy with sandals, straw hats, and shield on him. Five colorful armored men with weapons that appear futuristic. They maybe dangerous if not dealt with immediately, master." Shojo said describing the individuals.
"Hmm, five children with odd weapons and armored color men, hmm? How interesting, we might have some intruders from outside of Castle Oblivion." Mei's face then change into something sinister showing shark teeth ready for blood, "I enjoy surprises!" Mei then faced the two giving orders, "Tell the others that we need to keep eyes on these new playthings, I want to know everything about them and their worst fears. If anything I would enjoy personally meeting them myself given the chance." With this Shojo then change into his Chained form I.T. and summoned other Chained to carry out the message before returning towards the others disguised as somebody else.
Yomiyama Middle School - Luffy, Tucker, Nami, Usopp, Sarge and Zoro
Luffy and Zoro had rushed ahead to see where the screaming came from while those trying to catch up are Nami, Usopp, Tucker and Sarge. All four are having some hard time trying to follow the two strongest members of their group.
"Dude, how are those guys running so fast." Tucker shouted between breaths.
"I don't know, we just met each other and so far those two and Sanji are the stronger ones." Usopp said.
"Well that straw Hats I have mix feelings, on one hand he is colored red on his shirt with blue rightly below as pants. But on the other hand he should be all red, otherwise I might shot him as some dirty blue." Sarge comment.
"What the heck's with you and this red vs blue deal." Nami shouted, after some running they heard glass scattering and fighting ahead. Knowing the two are currently fighting some monsters. Making them rush ahead to help Zoro and Luffy fight off those monsters. Once they made it, they found two other people here one a student named Mei and the other named Mikami as the homeroom teacher. Luffy look out for Zoro's back while Zoro cut and sliced the monsters he's facing.
"These things just don't quit." Sarge then charge in shooting the first monsters. Without realizing it he ended up losing all his ammo as he is then forced to swing his shotgun like some stick, he's back up by Tucker who is also helping Sarge defending himself and the two they had encountered. As they are fighting, Nami and Usopp went behind everyone protecting Mei and Mikami who are also defending themselves. While Mei appears fearless, Miakmi is more fearful of what is happening. She does toughen up after she met Mei, but the two are still not much for the monsters. After taking out some blanks and I.T. Chained, they still are getting overwhelmed as more are starting to appear.
"There's too many of them!" Usopp shouted, shooting some of the monsters using his arrows for the time being. Since he can only hold limited amount of tricks in his bag, he had to used the bow and arrow given to him. With it he can attack more then what he carries around him. At the same time has to experiment with these arrows since they will no doubt help him in this quest to escape the castle. Nami hasn't figure out her abilities from this staff, mostly because it should be a regular staff. But she gets this sense that the staff has hidden power that she doesn't fully grasp.
While fighting the monsters Tucker almost felt overwhelmed by these Chained, furiously swinging left and right trying his best to fight them off. But when he got angry for that one instant, his sword glowed for a split second and in that moment with one hard swing, Tucker unleashed an wave slash attack glowing blue. This quickly cut down all the in front of him. Fortunate enough only those monsters were cut down while he and his friends stood behind him. Everyone including the monsters took a moment to stare in awe at what just happen. But that quickly faded as Nami quickly ran forward shouting to everyone behind, "What you waiting for come on!" She ordered, taking this chance, everyone followed behind escaping the monsters that would have killed them.
After some minutes running and escaping them into classroom while hiding. The group took this time to relax and breath for the time being, at the mean Mei and Mikami are grateful for someone to came to their recuse, but at the same time suspicious of these people. Although for Mei she couldn't deny that these people might be the key to their problem.
"Dude, that was close." Tucker said.
"I don't like running, but since I ran out of ammo for my shotgun, I'm forced to consider other options." Sarge said.
"More like you just didn't want to admit you got your butt kicked." Nami comment.
"But what is with those monsters, not only did we have to fight them last place, but now here too." Usopp wasn't liking it one bit, if anything he would rather be back at his village instead of fighting monsters for his life.
"Well maybe they know something?" Luffy said pointing towards the two.
"Luffy's right, we have been going around in circles and haven't found anyone except for them." Zoro said.
"Your not from this school?" Mikami finally spoke, both questioning and wondering who these people are exactly.
"Not... exactly. We're just confused as you guys." Nami admits, so far in their exploring of this Castle, they are left with more questions then answers as of late.
"Sorry, I should have intruduce ourselves, I'm Mikami the teacher of 9th grade class 3. This is one of my students Misaki Mei, we are the only one's together for the time being." Mikami introduce them.
"Wait, when you say the two of you, does that mean there are others?" Usopp asked.
"All from Class 3-3, Honestly I can't believe that the curse is this bad after many years have happen" Mikami muttered to herself, but is heard by the others.
"Curse? Like some voodoo magic?" Luffy questioned.
"No Luffy, curses can come from anything." Usopp explained to Luffy what it meant.
"This is not from the curse." Mei finally spoke gaining everyone's attention, "What has happen here is from powers beyond this world and school. Those that are caught by his trap will be entangled by this power." Mei states.
"Sorry about her, she seems to speak of things since those monsters appeared." Mikami said brushing off Mei's strange speaking.
"Your not the only one, we have one idiot so that's not surprising." Zoro said.
"So where are your friends? Shouldn't you be looking for them?" Luffy asked the two.
"We have been trying to find anyone even those outside of this school, unfortunately those monsters make it troublesome to find anyone." Mikami said concerned for the students safety.
"Sounds like to me, you need some backup. More specifically from the red team kind." Sarge said.
"Hold on, we have our own friends to look for, we can't just babysit them because they have trouble fighting." Tucker argued.
"And what happens when they find those monsters again, you saw those things we need to stick together if we have any chance escaping." Nami argued.
"Come on Tucker, their looking for their Nakama. All of us are looking for our Nakama, so the least we can do is help them." Luffy smiled at Tucker.
"Sometimes you worry me Straw Hat." Tucker said with a deadpan tone and stare.
"But more importantly, you said school." Usopp pointed out.
"Your at Yomiyama Middle School, but more importantly this used to be filled with many students that came here to learn and grow. The only exception is the curse place in Class 3-3 for many years." Mikami explained.
"Still didn't explain what this curse is about?" Nami said.
"The Curse was made years back before this has happen. Once someone died in class, many of the students couldn't bare he was gone. So they pretended he was there, only this cause the entire classroom to be cursed. Over time many have tried to avoid the curse by following rules, yet the same still happen as deaths came from one to another." Mei is interrupted by Tucker who couldn't help comment.
"Seriously? Why didn't you just leave this school, or better you should have destroyed this school if it's cursed." Tucker said.
"The Blue's right, curses are always bad news. In fact every horror in media always tell you to always destroy the source before it's too late." Sarge added.
"What's a media? Is it something to eat?" Luffy asked, Tucker lightly smack Luffy upside the head for the question.
"Another thing, you keep mentioning about this place not related to the curse, do you know what is happening?" Usopp questioned.
Mei said nothing for a moment, but then pointed at them, "Your from another world, one filled with pirates and another from the future with armor soldiers, your not part of this Castle Oblivion or it's memories, correct?" Mei asked, this shock everyone about what Mei said and more importantly about each other.
"I'm sorry, but how the heck did you know about us? Tucker asked, being on guard and suspicious of this girl.
"You came with three others, two are under Sarge's command from red team Simmons and Grif, the other name Caboose under Church's command. Sarge is leader of the red team with plans that fail or just more interest in himself. Grif is lazy around base trying to hide from work, while Simmons is the self-proclaim genius having self-esteem issues. You have others like Donut, Lopez but they aren't here. Tucker is best friends with Church and pretends he's a ladies man when he hasn't been with one, Caboose is not as bright but is friendly despite team kills and Church is killed by Caboose and sometimes is fed up with everything and everyone." Mei then turn to face the four and saying.
You five have come from a world filled with pirates from the golden age from the last king Gold Roger. All five of you haven't met before and are trying to survive this Castle. Sanji is the cook for Baratie, Usopp from a village where you lie about pirates and pretend by calling yourself Usopp pirate. Nami steals from pirates in order to pay a debt made by another pirates in your village, Zoro became a bounty hunter after you got lost and aims for the world's greatest swordsman. Luffy are still at the mountains after your brother has left his own adventures, while you train 10 years to start your adventure." When Mei finished explaining their background and where they came from, everyone including Mikami are shock by Mei's gift and abilities that honestly terrified them.
"How... How did-d?" Nami is lost for words like Usopp and Zoro, the only one excited by her is Luffy clapping at her ability. But is immediately smack upside the head once more by Tucker.
"I'm not the same as before. Though your friends and those in school are okay, but if you don't stop the clown, he will kill everyone through fear." Mei said. Before they could asked, they heard something smashed and destroyed the classrooms.
"Those monsters are looking for us, we need to go now!" Mikami whispered to them, they slowly followed her lead.
"No... they have to go that way." Mei said taking the lead instead of Mikami. Despite being the teacher, she knew that Mei is not normal like the other kids, deep down she knew something is wrong and since they have arrived she's been acting strange as of late.
Yomiyama Middle School - Sanji, Nami, Zoro, Luffy, Usopp, Reds and Blues
Sanji lead the charge through the hallways, trying to find where the scream came from. From behind everyone including Mei, Koichi, Izumi, Yuarki, and Tomohiko sticking close with the group. Every now and then Sanji would slow down for the others to follow behind. But once they finally found the source, they see more students being tied up with tap over their mouths. The names of these students are Naoya Teshigawara, Yuya Mochizuki, Yumi Ogura, Takako Sugiura, and Ikuo Takabayashi are all tied up together scared out of their minds while a girl laid on the floor unconscious. Once everyone caught up, they saw the scene in front of them shocking to find they are bind up like they are somehow.
"Okay, that doesn't look suspicious." Griff sarcastically comment.
"Well this is some haunted school stuff, so everything about science is thrown out the window." Sanji ignored Simmons and bent down towards the girl while everyone else went towards the students tied up. The Reds and Blues took guard duty as they check their surroundings pointing their guns even if only Tucker and Sarge are the only one's who know what their doing. Just as Luffy unduck the tape around Naoya he shouted, "It's a trap!" Just as he said this Sanji is then almost crushed by the girl if he didn't jump back in time. But then Luffy, Zoro, Nami, Usopp, Sarge and Tucker attack the six students tied up and transformed into the I.T. Chained.
"What the Heck!" Griff shouted surprise by this turn of events, "Those guys are monsters?!" Griff shouted, then the others that were with them Yuarki and Izumi change into Chained monsters and attack Koichi and Tomohiko.
"Hey let go!" Koichi demanded.
"Guys help!" Tomohiko shouted scared for his life. This left only Mei, Sanji, Caboose, Griff, and Simmons to themselves with no way of defending or fighting back, since they are hostage.
"Damn it. I should have been more careful." Sanji cursed under his breath.
"You should have-" Someone said, they all turned to find where the voice came from and from the darken hallways appears someone appearing like Mei.
"Wha-?!" Is what they are saying unable to believe there are two Mei's.
"Wait a minute, are there twins?" Simmons asked confused.
"Like the good twin and bad twin?" Caboose asked.
"No... that thing is not Mei's twin." Sanji said growling at this imposter.
"Oh you figure me out already?" The fake Mei said smiling, she then change as Mei slowly chuckled and transformed into some clown that freak everyone out.
"Why hello boys." he said smiling, "I didn't realize you someone would come to play in this second floor." He said grinning to them.
"What the hell?!" Griff said.
"Oh no, Evil Clown, I hate evil clowns." Caboose said.
"Your the one behind what is happening here in this school?" Sanji demanded, when he saw Mei change into some clown, he had this sense that this guy was the reason for what is happening.
"Me? While not entirely, but I am for bringing these friends of mine here. Out of all the memories, I have the most fun out of this world memory. Already dealing with a curse, is just the fun they need. But now these children can play with me, Pennywise the Clown." Pennywise proclaims himself.
"Pennywise, Really? Sounds dumb for a clown, then again all Clowns have dumb names." Griff said.
"Hold on, what do you mean about this curse? That's scientifically impossible, but then again since coming to this place all science seem irrelevant, but that doesn't mean curses are real." Simmons argued.
"Oh, afraid of the monsters under your bed, or is it closet?" Pennywise said but then giggle realizing something, "No, it's what your mother did with your father isn't it?" He asked. This made the group uncomfortable as they stared at him, but Simmons seems most confused if not disturb by pennywise claim.
"What?" Simmons said unsure what he meant.
"And you Griff is it? I would have expected someone that's raised by the circus to enjoy clowns more. Or does the fear of good health mean something?" Pennywise asked.
"Hey you take that back." Griff charged at Pennywise, but is the bind by an Chained Blank from behind. This followed suit with others being bind up as the others students are then being taken away into the shadows. They tried to fight back or avoid being caught, but the monsters were too quick and came in numbers greater then expected. Sanji being stronger of the group couldn't even move himself to kick or defend against them.
Pennywise Chuckled, "No used struggling, I just wanted us to be friends. After all..." Pennywise then skip towards Sanji whispering to his ear, "I know your secret." Sanji then tried to kick Pennywise, but he jump back. Yet when he look at Sanji, he scowled at him seeing no fear in Sanji.
"Your a tough one, all the better when I can eat you." Pennywise chuckled and started to sing a small tone as he leaves towards the shadows.
I know your secret, your dirty little secret.
I know your secret, your dirty little secret.
Just as he left Sanji, Caboose, Grif, and Simmons are left alone by themselves. They look around to see if anyone is here, but the monsters no doubt have taken them. Once more Sanji felt rage building up. When he met them he found the girls cute and acted like himself. But when they change into monsters, that made him felt sick in his stomach. That and some clown had the gull to change into Mei and try to kill him, and the others. The only reasons that clown didn't finished the job was he expected them to be afraid?! This made him pissed off as he could only hold his rage before shouting angrily at what had occurred.
Crystal Gems - Resting between floors
They are then given an explanation about this castle and why the rooms are different from this castle. Yoda explained that this castle is known as Castle Oblivion, and it holds memories of not just people, but also worlds that are still around or have fallen to Darkness. He mentions that this castle wasn't what it used to be but is controlled by organized people who want to rule the worlds. To say they are surprise, things just keep piling up every time they believe something has final gone right.
"So your saying that guy back there is the leader of this organization and we're in some castle that controls worlds?" Amethyst asked once again trying to understand all of this craziness.
"Confusing at first, but answer it is. This place holds secrets, ones from past memories, others from worlds unknown, and some of the fallen. The leader D'go as he calls himself, uses individuals with dark past. Some seeking new life, others for their own gain." Yoda said to them.
"So not all of them are with D'go, but have been recruited from different worlds? How could he know if they would follow him or not?" Ruby questioned.
"Unknown, his powers and abilities are untamed, unmatched if we face him." Yoda warned knowing that some would try and confront him only to be defeated if they went to stop him.
"I still find this unbelievable, how could this castle have the memories of people and worlds, it shouldn't be possible." Pearl skeptic about Yoda's claim.
"Your weapons, if you please." When Yoda asked this, they look at him strangely, "You say it's impossible this Castle, if so then you three who have traveled to this castle would have means of defending yourselves yes?" Yoda said.
"Hold on, you said three, there are four of us green dude." Amethyst corrected him.
"Four by sight yes, but three are here. Two of them once one person, separated they are because of this Castle you are." Yoda told them, earning honest surprise from Yoda. This made ruby get defensive placing herself in front of Sapphire in defense.
"If your with them-"
"With them, no. If I was, you would be captured, taken without question yes." Yoda asked them. They relax a bit, but still had their guard up in case Yoda would try something.
"Okay suppose we did believe you, what are you doing here exactly?" Pearl asked. Everyone then notice that Yoda's demeanor had change, once filled with mystery, wisdom and mischief, turned into sadness as Yoda look down contemplating his last time he was here before taken.
"Search for friend, I have. But have been taken thanks to stronger forces at work. Once lived in exile, for failure in my duty as Jedi. But called in because someone had been kidnap, the individual in question is trap towards the top floor. I tried to reach the top, but failed once more." Yoda shows much seriousness in his expression and tone, the three realize that Yoda was being honest and sincere about what he's been doing. Pearl and the others realize that Yoda must have been taken capture and is in the same trouble as them.
Realizing her mistake, Pearl sigh and said, "Sorry, I guess we're a little... trouble by this place." Pearl had no real words to describe their situation.
"Yeah, when we enter this place Garnet was leading us. But you can see only Ruby and Sapphire are here, honestly this castle just creeps me out." Amethyst said.
"Ture to words, this place holds dark secrets, some not made by this castle, the Organization has tempered with forces they do not understand, what's their plan is unknown." Yoda said knowing those who have enter are bound by the rules of this castle.
"Like you live long to know." Someone said, they soon turned to see someone appear before them, she held two guys with a tank top and short pants. Her name is Revy also known as two hands for using two guns at once.
"At sh$t, must have got drunk while waiting for those armored guys. Guess you lot will have to do for now." She said grabbing her two guns and pointed at them.
"Hold on, who are you and why are you attacking us?" Pearl demanded.
"Yeah dude, you should ask-"
BANG
Suddenly Amethyst is shot at her head, but is fortune enough as Yoda stood between them and her. This came with Yoda using the force to halt the bullets mid-air as they drop once he was done.
"Heh, nice trick. Guess your that Jedi or something." Revy asked.
"Once a Jedi Master, in Exile I have been." Yoda answered, while the gems took this moment to stand behind him. Realizing they had no powers or have a way to defend themselves, they watch as Yoda would face this new foe by himself.
"Well retired or not, the fact you caught my bullets using the force, I can't help feel insulted by that." She then fired few more bullets and found all of them are caught without effort, Yoda then grab hold of Revy's two guns and toss them behind him.
"Surrender, for your sake." Yoda offered, wanting to end this peacfully.
"Heh, should have known that would happen." Suddenly around the room began to fill with darkness, and Revy held out her two hands materializing two guns made of darkness. They are similar to her guns, but are bigger with purple and blue skin color instead of silver. Worse of all, she has no limited ammo.
"Let's see you try that again." Revy grinned firing bullets of darkness towards them.

The company consisted of four individuals names Rokuro Okajima aka Rock the new recruit at the time, Dutch leader of the group, Benny the Mechanic and other sorts, with Revy as their muscle. At the time everything was going okay and living their lives normally, but then their world is visited by D'go. When he came everything change for better and for worse. Now Revy is hired for his organization and does what he commands, those she and Lagoon Company had work before are no longer in contract with her and anyone from her past.

Yoda vs Revy
FIGHT!
When Revy materialize her weapons, everyone scattered about trying to avoid her shoots. Yoda however jump away twice as Revy lock eyes on her target. Yoda then brought his lightsaber out in time to deflect the shoots. The Darkness bullets almost appear like blaster bolts from his galaxy, but have something much sinister to them. When Yoda deflect these bullets his lightsaber started to act weirdly towards them. It was slow at first but after deflecting more then just couple of shoots. Yoda quickly realize his lightsaber are being effected by the darkness, as if the light from his saber is being drained.
With one hand stretch out and the other holding his lightsaber, he brought up some stone pillar holding vases and throw them towards Revy where she was standing. Seeing this she rolled on her side to avoid it. The pointed at Yoda, only to find him draw close in arms reach. She used her recreated guns to block his lightsaber in time, both surprising Yoda and shocking by Revy. She look at Yoda grinning, "Nice." She pointed her right gun at Yoda only to miss as he jump back. Yoda then used the force to grab Revy lifting her up in the air, but then she started to gather darkness around her body and burst it out. This cause her release as she drop down and returned firing at Yoda. In turn Yoda had to rush around to avoid the bullets and make sure he wasn't shot, With one jump swing his lightsaber at her, since the room is small Revy had to run away from the lightsaber's path. When she moved Yoda this time force pushed her against the wall, stunning her for a time being.
Calling his lightsaber back, Yoda charge at Revy. But is then surprise as she grin pointing her guns at him with 3 deflected and two shots landed at his small body. Surprisingly the bullets didn't kill him, but he felt the light side of the force weakening inside him. Revy then prepared to shoot more after she shook off from being flung back, Yoda did the same but slower, yet was able to move in time. However even when he moved, Revy heard her guns click signaling she ran out.
"Damn, not used to these guns. Gotta make time practicing these babies and remember the bullet count." Revy muttered, she hadn't had these guns for long, but she sometimes forgets that she has to reload since they don't require bullets. Taking notice of this Yoda used the force to flung the other pillar towards Revy along with two vases for good measure, Revy didn't notice in time as she is bash around but by the pillar and vases. Thankfully she used the darkness to enhance herself, but had to used her guns to block some of Yoda's sword strikes. Revy couldn't block them for long as she is not used to sword wielder that came close and personal. When Yoda struck the guns away, she is defenseless staring at the green saber with Yoda ready to strike.
"Surrender, you should." Yoda said.
"sigh Fine I give. But don't think I won't be easy next time." Revy then ran off towards the next floor, disappearing from sight. While the Crystal Gems had watch the whole fight, they couldn't help feel both helpless for not having their powers and in awe at Yoda performance in the fight.
"Whoa, don't mess with the little guy." Is all Amethyst could say.
"Indeed, come we should rest before we move." Yoda advise, agreeing they should take this time and wait for a moment before heading towards the next floor.
