And I'm back with the next chapter of Meta-Verse. In this chapter, the agents goes to save a friend in need from the shadowy organization DHARMA. Let's get this chapter started, shall we?
Disclaimer: I don't own any characters appearing in this fic.
Nazi Headquarters
Mael Radec has gone to Jigsaw in the operating room.
"Is that potion ready?" Radec asked.
"No. It's not." Jigsaw said.
"We want to poison this world soon, so hurry it up."
"I'm trying the best that I can. Not even game makers can make their limits on stuff."
"Let's hope so." Radec left the room.
"Why do I think something might go wrong with this whole experiment? This will teach humanity some ways of appreciation. You'll see."
Radec then goes to the Bridge, where Irene Engel is sitting at her desk.
"Captain Engel." Radec said.
"That's Obergruppenfuhrer Engel to you."
"Sorry, can't pronounce German." Radec said.
"Fool."
"What is our plan now?"
"We have a prisoner sent to DHARMA, so we wouldn't be worrying about anything."
"What if the Meta-Verse Department Agency comes to free the prisoner from DHARMA?"
"Then they'll handle it."
"Yes, ma'am."
"How long will the poison be?"
"Who knows?"
"Get to it."
"Yes, ma'am." Radec left the room.
"Soon, everything will be ready."

Meta-Verse Department Agency
In the cafeteria, Konata and Tsumiki walked to Bo and Laetitia.
"So, how's it going?" Konata asked.
"Not much." Bo said.
"You said that all the time." Laetitia said.
"Not much is going on here lately, so nothing much." Bo said.
"We've been discussing about heading towards Mexico." Laetitia said.
"Mexico?" Tsumiki asked.
Laetitia nodded.
"We've been thinking about having ourselves some fun there." Bo said.
"Let's not get too much on that." Laetitia said.
"Damn girl. And I thought I didn't do anything to you." Bo said.
"Was this Katy's idea?" Tsumiki asked.
"Why say that?" Konata asked.
"Because Katy...sort of lived in Mexico, sort of not. I don't know. But she's been to Mexico that one time though." Tsumiki said.
"Huh." Konata said.
"Yeah, it sort of is." Bo said.
"I thought it would be nice." Laetitia said.
"Well, they have spicy stuff there last time I heard. Never been to Mexico before." Konata said.
"Yeah, what I heard too." Laetitia said.
"Some of us doesn't like spicy stuff, but I'm okay with eating spicy stuff." Bo said.
"As long as you don't shriek while getting your mouth burnt." Laetitia said.
"Who asked you?" Bo asked.
"Anyone can say that." Laetitia said.
"You know I'm not the type of person to scream." Bo said.
"What about that ghost that last time?" Laetitia asked.
"The ghost that was in my closet? I didn't screamed. I punched it in the face and found that it's made out of cardboard." Bo said.
"Who would do that?" Konata asked, snickering.
"I don't know. Maybe Teddie?" Bo said.
"No. He would of just wet himself if he saw a ghost." Tsumiki said.
"Funny. I would just picture that." Laetitia said.
"No kidding." Bo said.
"I kind of need you guys in the meeting room." Kyubey said.
"Alright. Let's get down there." Tsumiki said.
Konata nodded.
In the meeting room, we see Kyubey in front of the microphone. "There's someone being held hostage. And we found that he is somewhere in Mexico."
"Great. Where we're heading to to relax. This never quits, does it?" Bo said.
"Enemies sometimes never take breaks." Laetitia said.
"And it has been confirmed that an organization named DHARMA has the hostage." Kyubey said.
"DHARMA. Wasn't that the organization that is on a tropical island?" XIII said.
"It is." Kyubey said.
"So they came to Mexico, huh? Damn. We need some reinforcements for this one." XIII said.
"We're all the help they can get. Hopefully nothing goes wrong." Konata said.
"You're right on that part." Tsumiki said.
"Let's start heading to Mexico. And get the hostage out of there." Bo said.
"We don't even know who this hostage is right off." Katy said.
"That's gonna get worse." Raggedy Ann said.
"Are you officially an agent now?" Paiman asked.
"Why yes. I even talked to Picard about it, and he accepted me." Ann said.
"How did the Magic Station take to this?" Paiman asked.
"They said it's fine." Ann said.
"Good grief." Paiman said.
"You might need me."
They turned to see a boy standing at the entrance.
This boy has long golden-blond hair that is tied in a braid that hangs down to his shoulders and gold eyes. He wears a black shirt, red long-sleeved jacket, black pants, black shoes and his right arm and left leg is mechanical. This is Edward Elric.
"The Fullmetal Alchemist." Tsumiki said.
"The Fullmetal Alchemist?" Konata asked.
"He is Edward Elric. After some human transmutation, he has been defused, but still have some humanity in him. The only parts that are human is his right arm and his left leg. You might say he lost them in the transmutation." Tsumiki said.
"Huh. Neat." Konata said.
"What are you doing here?" Kyubey asked.
"You needed some help. I'm the help you can get." Edward said.
"Great. What we need." Coulson said.
"Hey, I see that to be rude." Edward said, annoyed.
"Is he like a Resemble?" Konata asked.
"Far from a Resemble." Tsumiki said. "Resembles are not just robots. They're robotic body parts. And Solty, on the other hand, is full Resemble. But it doesn't make sense on how she's fully a Resemble."
"Made sense." Konata said.
"Let see if we can make this one out alive." Coulson said.
"Yeah." Vega said.
And with that, Konata, Tsumiki, Bo, Laetitia, Kyubey, Paiman, Katy, XIII, Ann, Edward, Mikoto Misaka, Lain Iwakura, Solty Revant, Yuko Katagi, Tamama, Rebecca Miyamoto, Coulson, Vega, The Doctor, Kirika Yuumura, Lila and Margaret Burton goes to the ship and flew off.
Mexico
In the city of Mexico, we see an android girl searching for the hostage.
This girl has a blond ponytail tied in a green ribbon and green eyes. She wears a pink helmet with transparent antennae that curves behind her, pink, red and black suit with red gloves and pink and red shoes. This is .
She looks all over the city.
DHARMA Headquarters
Somewhere in Mexico, we see the headquarters of the dangerous organization known as DHARMA, that originally originated in the Island. In here, we see a man walking down to the prison halls.
This man has black hair and wears a white long-sleeve shirt, beige pants and brown dress shoes. This is Benjamin Linus, leader of the DHARMA Initiative.
He walks down to the prison to see his hostage. It was a boy.
This boy has spiky black hair and black eyes. He wears a white t-shirt, black pants and white sneakers. This is Touma Kamijou.
"Hello, Kamijou." Benjamin said.
"What the hell do you want?" Kamijou asked.
"Just checking to see how you're doing."
"Why bother?"
"Well, aren't we hasty today. You see, the Nazis did a good job in handing you over to me for me to deal with. I think I'm doing pretty well, don't you think?"
"Yeah, well beat it."
Benjamin then punches Kamijou in the face. Kamijou's face looks bloodied.
"See? Are you that desperate or something? I mean, come on, you have to be an idiot to do something like this. Honestly, if anything, you might be considered dead to most people. If people ever seen this at ease, you might think this is not good. You know what? I don't give a shit. Neither do the rest of the people in this world." Benjamin said.
"I see. You're wanting to kill me?" Kamijou asked.
"Torture you first."
"Go ahead and try. That's not how this thing works."
"No. Does it?"
"When Mikoto hears that I'm missing, she is gonna find me and put an end to your reckoning."
"Funny. What does this girlfriend of yours want anyway?"
"Girlfriend? What do you mean? We're not to that point yet."
"I see. Lying. That's fine."
"I'm not lying!"
"Yes, you are. And I can see that straight in your eyes. They're lying."
"Dammit."
"You think you can hide things from me? No. You can't. They can just be found out one way or another. And you think that's all? No. There is more to this then that. The Others will just send you down to Hell, where you belong."
"Who's the Others?"
"You'll see. Guards!"
Humans, who are known as the Others, came to him.
"Put this guy in the holdster, we might as well have him be tortured there."
"Wait!" Kamijou is carried by two Others. "Why are you doing this?"
"You see, DHARMA has some things for you. Some things in store. Yes."
The two Others opened the door and left with Kamijou.
Benjamin then leaves and goes up to the highest section of the DHARMA Headquarters, where he sees Miles Quaritch in one of the chairs.
"Anything?" Benjamin asked.
"Not a thing. How was the prisoner?" Quaritch asked.
"Too much of a pain."
"I see."
"We shouldn't let anyone know he's here."
"You know, I've been thinking the same thing."
"If they know he's here, then we have to kill them. And I mean kill them all. Lifeless and dead. All is never gonna stand against us now. They'll just be like pigs in a barrel, waiting to be slaughtered."
"And to think that I joined your little Initiative here."
"All is well in this favor. Make sure no one finds him."
"Yes. I will."
"This has to be done. We'll have to kill him if they ever found him."
"Oh, now you're switching plans?"
"We'll still kill them still yet, but we might as well kill the hostage."
"I see. Very well then. It will be done."
"See to it done."
"Yes, sir."
"Otherwise, no one's gonna leave this Initiative alive."
Break
Mexico
They arrived in Mexico and gotten out of the ship.
"We need to find the hostage and get him back to the base." Rebecca said.
"The plan has to succeed." Lain said.
"We need to have a plan here." Ann said.
"The plan is simple. Get in there and get him out." Kyubey said.
"What about the guards?" Ann asked.
"Hopefully it doesn't come to that." Kyubey said.
"She might be right. If there are guards standing outside of the base, we need another plan." Konata said.
"We'll come up with one eventually." Kyubey said.
"There you guys are."
A girl came to them.
This girl has long blonde hair with fringed bangs, tied back in a ponytail with a green ribbon and blue eyes. She wears a red dress and red shoes. This is Roll, 's original counterpart.
"This is Ciel's assistant, Roll, who is an android that has a bit of a liking to androids like Mega Man, Proto Man, and a scientist named Dr. Light." Tsumiki said.
"Where are they now?" Konata asked.
"Don't know." Tsumiki said.
"I tried to find the hostage, but I don't know where he is." Roll said.
"He's in the DHARMA Headquarters hidden somewhere here." Kyubey said.
"Oh. Never thought of that." Roll said.
"Great. You're here." Shana catches up to them.
"Hey Shana." Konata said.
"Yeah, hi." Shana said.
"So, any luck?" Kyubey asked.
"Notta." Shana said.
"Seems odd. Keep looking then." Kyubey said.
Shana nodded.
"How far had you searched?" Ann asked.
"Not too far." Roll said.
"Then it might not be here." Bo said.
"Enchiladas?" A Mexican man said, handing out enchiladas.
"No thanks." Roll said.
The enchilada man then leaves, handing people enchiladas.
"We find DHARMA and get the hostage out. But where is it?" Shana said.
"I think I can track them down." Lain said.
"Thanks." Tamama said.
"No problem." Lain then closed her eyes and her mind searches for the DHARMA Headquarters, which is in a forest in Mexico.
"Found it." Lain said.
"Where?" Konata asked.
"In a forest." Lain said.
"A forest here?" Tsumiki asked.
"Anything happens for a reason." Bo said.
"Let's just head there and get there." Ann said.
"I might see where he is." Solty said.
"She can do that?" Konata asked.
"Yeah. Solty can use her ears to find people." Tsumiki said.
"That's interesting. That explain those celery ears." Konata said.
"Celery ears?" Solty asked.
"Funny. They almost look like celery." Ann said.
"I think we should move on to a different topic instead of complementing on my ears." Solty said.
"I wasn't expecting this day to end up looking like this." Katy said.
"I was." Laetitia said.
"That because you've been through a lot here lately." Katy said.
"More worser than that." Laetitia said.
DHARMA Headquarters
"This might not end well." One of the Others said.
"Don't waste your time. We need to kill this hostage before someone finds out about him." A bearded Other said.
"You think that's gonna be easy?" The first Other said.
"It should be." The second Other said.
"I'm still not sure about this." The first Other said.
"Certainly someone isn't gonna know right off." The second Other said.
"Yeah, good for you." The first Other said.
Unbeknownst to them, outside are the Unified Defense Force, Mao Onigawara, Misora Tsukishima and Silvia Maruyama. They're hiding from the DHARMA authorities who are guarding the base.
"What do we do here?" Mao asked.
"I thought you have an idea." Misora said.
"Wado-wayu. No." Mao said.
"I, the officer, would think of some way. That wouldn't get us killed." Silvia said.
"Glad you said something." Mao said.
"Allow me." Silvia then gets up and walks down to somewhere where the authorities wouldn't be expecting them in hiding.
"She is not gonna end up okay." Mao said.
"Hopefully nothing goes wrong." Misora said.
"I hope you're right." Mao said.
Silvia then reverts into her school uniform, which consists of a beige long-sleeve shirt, brown skirt, white socks and white sneakers. Then she started walking down to the authorities, acting like she is lost. "Excuse me sirs, but I seem to be a little lost."
"Where did you came from?" One of the Others asked.
"I came from Ireland and I seem to be lost." Silvia said.
"An Irish girl?" One of the Others said.
"She must of gotten off of somewhere." The first Other said.
"Let her in." The second Other said.
The door opens and Silvia went in.
"I'm hoping this works, I must say." Misora said.
"Yeah, I hope so too." Mao said.
Silvia walks into the place without being caught by any Others. Then she noticed a holdster, with Kamijou in it.
"This big container seems to be unlikely." Silvia said.
"Yeah, what do you think?" Kamijou said.
"I'm here to get you out of here, but I must find a key to that first."
"Yeah, well hurry. If this thing activates, I know there are shredders down there."
Silvia looks down and sees saws under the holdster. "Dear me. I'll try."
"Hurry."
Silvia then walks off, looking for the bridge. But then she came upon Benjamin.
"Hello." Silvia said.
"Who might you be?" Benjamin asked.
"Don't tell him your actual name. Think of something." Silvia thought.
Benjamin waited.
"I'm Marilyn Hogshoth. And I'm from Ireland." Silvia said. "Nice shot, Silvie."
"Marilyn Hogshoth, huh? I'm Benjamin Lewis, and I'm leader of this DHARMA Initiative."
Silvia nodded.
"Please, why not step inside of my quarters? Feels nice and cozy in there."
"Sure." Silvia went into the quarters, and so as Benjamin.
"Feel comfortable here while we try to put this guy out of commission." Benjamin said.
"You meant from outside?"
"Oh. You must of saw then before you came to me. He's actually a traitor. A thief. He steals from people, and he's good at it. I suggest you don't come anywhere near him, understood?"
"Yes, sir."
"Well, then, feel comfy and I'll be right back." Benjamin left the room and closed the door.
Now, Silvia goes to look for the key. "Where would it be?"
Outside of the quarters, Benjamin then walks to the top.
"Visitor?" Quaritch asked.
"How did you know?" Benjamin asked.
"One of the Others has said that there is a visitor here. Who is she?"
"Marilyn Hogshoth."
"Funny. Never heard of that name before."
"No."
In the quarters, Silvia is still looking for the key. "This might be time." She then grabs something out of her skirt pocket. And it does reveal to be Ika Musume, but she is a mini version of herself.
"Good timing." Ika said.
"Try to find the key and quick, before he comes back." Silvia said.
"Is that guy we're trying to save actually a thief?"
"No. I think that guy is pulling our legs off."
"Oh. Okay. I was confused."
"I didn't took his word seriously, I just acted like I did."
"Oh. I see." Then Ika goes to search for the key in her tiny self.
Outside, we see the agents came to Mao and Misora.
"Where's Silvie?" Shana asked.
"She went inside." Mao said.
"Well that's a good backup plan." Bo said.
"Nothing to worry about then. But what if they caught her right off." Ann said.
"Don't worry. She turned off her Type-2 Marine Gear, so nothing to worry about." Misora said.
"I still am worried about this." Katy said.
Mao then looks worried.
Inside of the base, inside of Benjamin's quarters, Ika finally managed to find the key.
"Found it." Ika said.
"Good." Silvia said.
Ika then walks towards Silvia and hands her the key. Then she got onto her shoulder.
"Let's get out of here and get to him." Silvia said.
Ika nodded.
Benjamin walks towards Kamijou. "Time for a little torture."
"This will be fun." Quaritch said.
"I know she'll be here." Kamijou said.
"Your girlfriend isn't gonna save you. You're gonna die. And I'll see to it happen." Benjamin said.
"Seems like I tricked you."
They turned to see Silvia at the entrance of the hall.
"What did you do?" Benjamin asked.
"Found the key." Silvia shows them the key.
"Shit. We've been robbed." Quaritch said.
"Hogshoth." Benjamin said.
"I'm actually not Marilyn Hogshoth." Silvia said.
"Ready to launch Type-2 Marine Gear. Downloading. Kai-bo." She pressed the clover on her chest and starts transforming in her Marine Gear. "Silvia Maruyama of the Marine Defense Force. The Japanese Seas are my Seas."
"It's one of the Unified Defense Forces! Kill her!" Quaritch said.
The Others then ran towards Silvia. Ika then grew to her original size and fights the Others with her tentacles. Silvia smacks the Others with her baton.
"One of you bitches come closer and he dies." Quaritch points a gun at Kamijou.
"Kamijou!" Silvia said.
"I thought you were Hogshoth. You just fooled me did you. And I think I lied to you on this guy being a thief. I'm good at lying, ya know. I'm a manipulator, a liar, a murderer. You think you can save your pathetic friend here?" Benjamin laughs. "No. It's time for him to die. And so will you and your tentacled friend there. Die with blood everywhere on ya. See you...IN HELL!" Benjamin then turns into a giant Hydra snake and roars at Silvia.
"That's just great." Silvia said.
"We need some serious help here." Ika said.
Outside, the agents see the two Others going into the base.
"They knew." Mao said.
"Let's get in there!" Konata said.
They've gone into the base, and saw the Hydra.
"Wado-wayu!" Mao said.
"Damn! That's a Hydra!" Bo said.
"Let's take this guy out." XIII said.
"With getting us killed? That thing is hard to beat." Kyubey said.
"We don't have much of a choice." XIII said.
"Let's fight this thing with everything we got." Konata said.
They all nodded and they fight the Hydra.
"How dare you came and fight me like this? You're too weak!" The Hydra said.
"See if you like this." Bo then shines a light on the Hydra.
The Hydra closes his eyes. "IT BURNS! IT BURNS!"
Solty then vibrates her hand and throws a punch at the Hydra, causing him to fly to the air, then crashes down to the ground.
"Touma!" Mikoto ran to Touma and gets him out of the holdster with her electric slicer, then she grabs him before he hit the saws.
"I knew you would come to save me." Touma said.
"Touma, you idiot! I was worried about you!" Mikoto said.
"And I thought you were the one that might need saving." Touma said.
"I was the one to save most people, you know?" Mikoto said.
"Yeah, true." Touma said.
"Let's get out of here." Ann said.
They all nodded and headed out of the DHARMA base.
Engel appears and saw them leaving, then she gone into the base and sees Benjamin defeated.
"I can explain every of this." Quaritch said.
"This has to be good." Engel said.
"You see, we thought we were able to apprehend the hostage, until we get a scrawny little Unified Defense Force member tricking us!" Quaritch said.
"You think I'm gonna fall for that?" Engel asked.
"Maybe." Quaritch said.
"I'm not tolerating any of this. You have failed me yet again." Engel said.
"Ma'am, please." Quaritch said.
Engel slaps Quaritch in the face. "Silence, you FUCKING DIMWIT! Never fail me again, is that understood?"
"Yes, ma'am." Quaritch said.
"Then I'll leave you to it then." Engel left the base, leaving Quaritch and Benjamin alone.
Duvet by Boa
And you don't seem to understand
A shame you seemed an honest man
And all the fears you hold so dear
Will turn to whisper in your ear
And you know what they say might hurt you
And you know that it means so much
And you don't even feel a thing
I am falling, I am fading, I am drowning
Help me to breathe
I am hurting, I have lost it all
I am losing
Help me to breathe
