And I'm back with the next chapter of Meta-Verse. In this chapter, the agents need to clear Shana's name when she is framed for something she didn't commit. Let the mystery begin.
Disclaimer: I don't own any characters appearing in this fic.
Boston, London
In the streets of Boston, police are seeing dead bodies with burn marks on them.
"What the hell just happened here?" The first policeman asked.
"Whatever is going on, we need to find out." The second policeman said.
"This is more than just what we're facing right now." The first policeman said.
"I know. Even the other policemen ain't gonna do anything about this." The second policeman said.
"Who do you think killed them?" The first policeman asked.
"I find this." The third policeman came to them and shows them a photo of what appears to be Shana hurting people.
"So this girl gotten out of control?" The second policeman asked.
"I have no idea." The third policeman said.
"At least we know who it is. Now, where is she?" The first policeman said.
"Don't know. We'll keep looking though." The third policeman said.
Kyoto, Japan
In an apartment, we see Shana in her normal form, black hair, black eyes, wears a white t-shirt, green skirt, black almost-to-the-knee socks and brown dress shoes, walking to the TV and has caught something on it.
"Police officials said that this girl has murdered some people. The dead bodies are found here in Boston with burn marks. This might be the same girl who is the cause of these murders." The news reporter said.
"That can't be right. I wasn't there." Shana said.
Her phone ranged and she answered it. "Hello."
"What the hell is going on?" Paiman asked.
"Seems like I'm being framed." Shana said.
"Come to the Agency. We need to talk."
"Yes, sir." She hung up.

Meta-Verse Department Agency
In the meeting room, we see Konata Izumi, Tsumiki Miniwa, Paiman, Katy Caterpillar and Shana in there.
"I was in an apartment in Kyoto, then I saw the news about this lookalike." Shana said.
"Yeah, I kind of known it was a lookalike." Katy said.
"Who would of done this?" Tsumiki asked.
"I wouldn't know." Shana said.
"We just need to keep her from the police. They're after her." Katy said.
"We need to keep some set of eyes out for this unknown killer." Tsumiki said.
"It could be Jigsaw again." Konata said.
"If Jigsaw has done that to frame Shana, I don't think he's capable of doing that." Tsumiki said.
"Then who else?" Paiman asked.
"We need Conan Edogawa again." Konata said.
"Yeah." Tsumiki said.
In Conan's quarters
"So, this killer has framed Shana?" Conan asked.
Both Tsumiki and Konata nodded.
"I see. I was suspicious when I first saw the news. It wasn't good." Conan said.
"Do you think you can help us?" Tsumiki asked.
"Yeah. Definitely." Conan said.
"Thanks." Tsumiki said.
In Picard's quarters
"She has been framed." Kyubey said.
"No one knows who's doing this." Data said.
"It must have been some sort of a scam." Skipper said.
"Who the hell agrees to that?" Vega asked.
"I would of." A samurai said.
This samurai has silvery-blue hair and bordeaux-colored eyes. He wears a white yukata with blue swirls and knee-high black boots. This is Gintoki Sakata.
"I would of never said the same thing myself." Coulson said.
"It appear that everyone is in a state of stress because of this unknown threat." Picard said.
"We have no idea how this happened." Kyubey said.
"It just a mere coincidence to me." Gintoki said.
"How much do you know Shana?" Picard asked.
"Not much." Gintoki said.
"I see." Picard said.
"We have to track down this killer before this killer frames anyone else. Including us." Coulson said.
"I know." Picard said.
"We need to send in a search crew. Find this killer and clear Shana's name." Vega said.
"But to what avail?" Skipper asked.
"Who knows." Vega said.
"You're killing me here." Skipper said.
"If this is gonna take up what we have to do, then we need to find a way to get her out of this mess." Picard said.
"This is more then just a mere threat." Data said.
"Yeah, we got that android man." Gintoki said.
Then another person came in.
This person is also a samurai...in training and has black hair and brown eyes and wears glasses. He wears a light blue keikogi with blue linings and a blue hakama, white socks and brown flip-flops. This is Shinpachi Shimura.
"Oh, Shinpachi." Gintoki said.
"Gintoki-sensei. There has been a call for you." Shinpachi said.
"Dammit. Don't they ever quit." Gintoki said.
"Let just hope this doesn't end up bad." Data said.
"I'm hoping not." Picard said.
"I just need to see what the hell this is." Gintoki left the room, and so as Shinpachi.
In the cafeteria, we see Tamama sitting with Hinaichigo.
"This thing is literally killing me." Tamama said.
"The framing accident?" Hina asked.
"How can you call it an accident?"
"Some people said it is an accident."
"People doesn't know what they're talking about."
"It's an accident, right?"
"It's a setup."
"Oh."
"Oh is right."
"What do you think we should do about this?"
"I have no idea. Hell, if it's gonna get worse then anybody would of thought, this thing is gonna go through a freeze frame."
"Yeah, I guess so."
"Finished?"
"With what?"
"Your lunch?"
"Silly question to ask. No."
"Dah."
Raggedy Ann came to them. "Talking about the case?"
"Yes." They both replied.
"I see. Konata and Tsumiki are going down to Boston to see what goes on." Ann said.
"Yeah, like that's gonna work." Tamama said.
"I also found this though." Ann pulled out a recorder and starts playing the recorded message.
"Hello. Don't you see what's going on right now? Seeing who this is just makes me wanna know who you are. And I already know who I framed. Just give me some specific answers and we can start being buddies...or do we? See, I have some mere questions about this thing myself. But they're already answered. I shouldn't tell you the answers. I'll just have to send in traps for ya. Enjoy."
"That's definitely not Jigsaw, but I recognize who that was." Tamama said.
"Who is it?" Ann asked.
"I don't know. But it sounded like a Keronian." Tamama said.
"You think he's acting like a Jigsaw copycat?" Hina asked.
"Who knows on that." Tamama said.
"Whoever this is, he framed Shana." Ann said.
"And he did it good." Tamama said.
"So we find this Keronian and interrogate him." Ann said.
"But how are we gonna do that?" Hina asked.
"It might just be some sort of fraud." Margaret came to them.
"Yeah, but at what cost?" Tamama asked.
"Who knows." Margaret said.
"If this killer has something to do with these burn marked people, then we might as well take the lead on things." Ann said.
"Good luck on that." Tamama said.
Boston
Konata, Tsumiki, Yuko Katagi and Katy checks the scene out.
"Why would Shana do anything to hurt people?" Konata asked.
"Who knows. But they got her framed good." Tsumiki said.
"These burn marks definitely are Shana's." Katy said.
"But there must be another person behind it all." Yuko said.
"And I can tell you it's not Jigsaw." Tsumiki said.
"Second time you said that." Konata said.
"I must of said it more times then that." Tsumiki said.
"Fair." Konata said.
"Who knows where this killer might be. He might be far off." Katy said.
"Hard to believe." Konata said
"Where do we go now?" Yuko asked.
"We don't want the police seeing us out here, they'll get the wrong idea, so let's get out of here." Tsumiki said.
They nodded and they left.
Meta-Verse Department Agency
In Shana's quarters, we see Shana pasting around, thinking to herself.
Outside of her quarters, Tamama and Happy are at bay.
"What do you think this Keronian want with Shana?" Happy asked.
"It might not be good if she uses her as a superweapon." Tamama said.
"Yeah. That's gonna hurt." Happy said.
"Yeah, well I know lot worser Keronians." Tamama said.
"If you say so." Happy said.
Then a man appeared. "Hello."
"Who are you?" Tamama asked.
"Just a little someone who came to visit with Shana." The man said.
"I don't think that's a good idea, sir." Tamama said.
"Why don't you let me in?" The man said.
Shana then opens the door.
"Shana, get back inside." Tamama said.
"Shut up." Shana said.
"I think we should take you to the trial." The man said.
"The trial?" Shana asked.
"Yes." The man said.
"You can't-You can't just put me in trial like this!" Shana said, worried.
"I'm sorry, but we need to go." The man grabs Shana's hand and they leave.
"Let me go! Please!" Shana shouted.
"Told you it was a bad idea." Tamama said.
"The plot begins to thicken." Happy said.
"Yeah. We're somewhere now. Call Picard." Tamama said.
"Right." Happy said.
Break
In the halls, we see a boy walking down to Picard's quarters.
This boy has light brown hair and brown eyes. He wears a yellow long-sleeve shirt, black pants and brown dress shoes. This is Yuuki Asaba.
Chizuru Tachibana happens to be at the entrance of Picard's quarters.
"What in the world is going on?" Yuuki asked.
"Oh, Yuuki. I was about to tell Picard about the incident." Chizuru said.
"I was about to do the same thing." Yuuki said.
"Where's Yuuta?" Chizuru asked.
"Somewhere else. I don't believe he is unaware of the situation." Yuuki said.
"Let's just go in." Chizuru said.
They've gone inside Picard's quarters.
"Captain." Chizuru said.
"Not now. We got a bigger problem at hand." Picard said.
"What just happened?" Yuuki asked.
"Shana has been kidnapped." Picard said.
"Is it the killer?" Chizuru asked.
"We don't know. But that man has kidnapped her." Picard said.
"Great. Now another situation that we hadn't heard of. So you already know the incident?" Yuuki said.
"Yes." Picard said.
"I see. Alright then. We need to go." Yuuki said.
"Where are we going?" Chizuru asked.
"To find this killer." Yuuki said.
"You must be crazy." Chizuru said.
"No, I'm not." Yuuki said.
"Good luck. You might need it." Picard said.
Outside of the Agency, we see Yuu Sonoda, Haruka Takayama, Sakura Kinomoto, Sakura Avalon, Keroberos and Sakura Li waiting for the agents to come out.
"So, do you think we can catch him?" Yuu asked.
"I wouldn't be sure on that." Keroberos said.
"We need to find him. And we need to find Shana." Sakura A. said.
"I agree with Avalon." Sakura Li said.
"This day actually sucked." Haruka said.
"Hopefully nothing goes wrong." Yuu said.
"I hope so." Haruka said.
Konata, Tsumiki, Tamama, Yuko, Katy, Kyubey, Vega, Coulson, Skipper, Gintoki, Shinpachi, Yuuki, Chizuru, Ayano Kannagi, Solty Revant, Tickle Selvatlos, Ann, Hinaichigo, Happy, Paiman, Bo Dennis, Conan and Margaret came out of the Agency.
"There they are." Keroberos said.
"We're here!" Sakura K. said.
"You don't need to shout." Sakura Li said.
"So, who's up for a little case breaking here?" Bo asked.
"Case breaking?" Conan asked.
"What? What I call it." Bo said.
"There is something wrong with you." Conan said.
"We need to find this killer and bring him down." Tsumiki said.
"Before he frames us." Ann said.
"Or do something worse to Shana." Happy said.
"Let's go." Haruka said.
They walked out of the Agency World.
Boston
In an abandoned warehouse, we see Shana waking up and is greeted by a purple Keronian puppet with a missing eye, laughing distortedly.
"Where am I?" Shana asked.
"Welcome to your test." A voice said.
"Who are you?"
"I can't say. Now, back to the topic. You see, you're trapped on a chair. And behind you, is a pair of chainsaws that are ready to cut you open. Now, if you wanna survive the test, you'll have to untie yourself and quick, before you get cut up by chainsaws. You have at least 30 seconds before your life ends here. And now, shall we begin?"
"You're like Jigsaw, are you?"
"You can say that. You have 30 seconds. Go."
The chainsaws roar to life and her chair is being moved, getting close to the chainsaws. Shana tries to untie herself, but it is being difficult. She has only 20 seconds left before her life ends. But, Shana did managed to burn the ropes on her hand and gotten off the chair, then the chair got cut off by chainsaws. Shana then runs out of the room and into a different room. The door closes behind her and the door in front of her also closes.
"I see you gotten through the first part of your test. Now, onto the second."
"Is this some sort of game to you?"
"Hahaha. You see, I'm having fun with this. Now, you're trapped inside a room, and what you see above you are needles."
Shana looks up and sees the needles on the ceiling.
"The needles come down at you and you'll have to suffer blood loss. You have 50 seconds to find the key and unlock the door. Begin."
The ceiling then starts coming down at her. Shana then doesn't hesitate and tries to find the key. "Where's the key?"
The ceiling comes down closer to Shana. She has 30 seconds before blood loss. She then found the key in front of the door and she unlocks the door and opens it and gotten out of the room.
"Interesting. Interesting."
"This is not how I wanted to end my day."
Outside of the warehouse, the agents search for Shana.
"Be careful. This guy is a Jigsaw copycat. So he might have traps being set here." Tamama said.
"Honest to goodness, but, is this safe?" Ann asked.
"We have no choice." Tsumiki said.
"This whole thing is getting out of whack." Konata said.
"You can say that again." Coulson said.
"I think I sense a trap somewhere." Chizuru said.
"That's why we're keeping an eye out." Yuuki said.
"I mean close to us." Chizuru said.
"He's right. Something is not right here." Solty said.
"Hold it." Katy said.
They stopped and heard a vroom.
"What the hell is that?" Tsumiki asked.
It's coming closer.
"Sounds like a crazy driver." Konata said.
Then a car appeared, with the sick Keronian puppet driving it, laughing distortingly.
"RUN!" Tsumiki shouted.
They ran for it. In the alleyway, they're surrounded by the wall.
"In there!" Ayano said.
They gotten inside the building and the car crashed into the wall.
"What the hell was that?!" Tsumiki asked, scared.
"That was a Keronian alright. But what type of Keronian uses a puppet for his schemes?" Tamama said.
"He's a sicko." Konata said.
"I got that part." Tamama said.
"Let's try to be careful with more traps." Chizuru said.
"I'm just glad you said something. Otherwise, we would have been dead by now." Yuuki said.
"Thanks. Don't mention it." Chizuru said.
"So, where do you think he is?" Coulson asked.
Solty uses her ears and tries to listen. She then hears Shana. "She's not that far."
"Alright." Tsumiki said.
"Super hearing reflexes. I like you." Konata said.
"Don't mention it." Solty said.
"We don't have time to stick around. We need to find this Jigsaw copycat and bring him to the police so we can clear Shana's name." Tsumiki said.
They all nodded.
Meta-Verse Department Agency
In Picard's quarters
"It seems peculiar that she has been kidnapped like this." Picard said.
"But we have guards." Data said.
"Even that didn't did the trick."
"You think that this is some sort of part that's not suppose to be there, but it is."
"I can understand that."
"Psychologically, if there were guards, they would of done something by now."
"They called us, didn't they?"
"Yes. That's true."
"So see? Nothing to worry about. The agents need to do their own thing and save Shana."
"How do you think they should?"
"I have hopes in them."
"Yes, sir."
The Doctor came into the room. "Excuse sirs, but where are the agents now?"
"They're in Boston." Picard said.
"Great, I missed my calling card." The Doctor said.
"Don't worry, you'll get another mission." Picard said.
"I hope so." The Doctor said.
Boston
The agents sees Shana and they've gone to her.
Shana sees them. "Oh God, you're finally here."
"Yeah. It's great to see you too." Konata said.
"Hold on." Paiman said. He tested her out by touching her, but she wasn't there.
"Hologram." Bo said.
"Great, you ruined that." The voice said. The Shana hologram has been shut off. The Keronian reveals himself.
This Keronian is salmon colored and has swirly eyes. He wears a green helmet with a circle symbol with squares sticking out of it, and has a green one on his stomach and has a tadpole tail. This is Tororo.
"Tororo." Tamama said.
"Who's that?" Bo asked.
"He is part of the Garuru Platoon. I didn't know he's a Jigsaw copycat now." Tamama said.
"You see, I was planning to stick with the Garuru Platoon, but I wanted to go solo, so, I have planned to be how John Kramer has done, be the second Jigsaw killer." Tororo said.
"Where is Shana?" Konata asked.
"You see, she's part of my game right now." Tororo said.
"Get her out now." Konata said.
"Oh no, that would ruin the purpose. You see, if I quit now, this trap will be set off." Tororo said.
"Dammit." Bo said.
They saw the ceiling filled with ice spikes.
"See? Now do you believe me? Pu pu pu." Tororo said, mockingly.
"We need to stop him without setting off the trap." Tamama said.
"How are we gonna do that?" Bo asked.
"Who knows." Tamama said.
"Let's try to be careful at this." Solty said.
"I'll try to figure this one out." Ayano has gone to the launch box.
"She's gonna disable it. I getcha now." Bo said.
"Wait, what are you doing?" Tororo asked.
"Shutting down your game." Ayano then pressed the button and everything got shut off.
Shana unexpectedly has gone through a portal and has gone to them.
"Nice to have you back, Shana." Ayano said.
"Ayano." Shana said.
"That does it." Tororo then starts hacking into one of their friends, Solty.
Solty then feels electrocuted.
"Dammit." Bo said.
"He's also a hacker." Tamama said.
"You should of told us that earlier." Bo then used her dark aura and hits Tororo, sending him to the wall.
Solty lies down to the floor, unconscious.
"We stopped him." Bo said.
"Let's get him to the police." Konata said.
"I agree." Katy said.
Outside of the warehouse, the police tied Tororo up and they put him in the car and they drove off.
"We're sorry for the coincidence." The policeman said.
"It's okay." Shana said.
"You take care of yourselves." The policeman has gotten into his car and drove off.
"Let's get going." Shana said.
They all nodded and left Boston.
Meta-Verse Department Agency
In the meeting room
"I have shocking news for you." Kyubey said.
"What is it?" Konata asked.
"We managed to find your friends."
"You mean you found them?"
"Yes."
"Where?"
"They're held hostage in a Nazi base in Germany."
"That's the homeland of the Nazis."
"Indeed it is."
"We infiltrate there."
"Yes. We're finally getting them out now."
"I'm glad. I can finally get to see them again."
"And after all this time, we found them."
"When do we strike?"
"We strike soon."
Konata nodded. "Alright. I'll be waiting."
"Alright. Sounds good."
Konata left the room.
Outside of the Agency, Tamama was pasting around, with Tsumiki coming to him.
"Anything?" Tamama asked.
"We found Konata's friends." Tsumiki said.
"Hopes can't be reborn like this."
"What is that suppose to mean?"
"You'll see in time." Tamama turns to Tsumiki. "You'll see."
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 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 losing
Help me to breathe
I am hurting, I have lost it all
I am losing
Help me to breathe
These are the characters that appeared in this chapter:
Gintoki Sakata and Shinpachi Shimura from Gintama
Yuuki Asaba from Kimi to Boku
Tororo from SGT. Frog
Here's a sneak peek for the next chapter:
Konata: We save my friends at all costs.
Engel: It's nice to see you in this place again.
Tsumiki: We're always with you all the way, Konata.
Tilel: The mission begins.
Bo: Brace yourselves.
Tamama: I have hopes for you, Konata.
Next time: Determination, pt. 1
And that's a wrap! This chapter did ended up looking like a mystery-Saw like chapter, but it was still fun though. Next time, it's the 2-part season finale of this arc as Konata and the gang goes to infiltrate the Nazi base.
See you all in the next chapter of Meta-Verse.
