And I'm back with the next chapter of Meta-Verse. In this chapter, the Agents goes to Baba Yaga's world to see what it is, find Kokoro, and Sackboy's truth reveals. I'm gonna post the last three chapters today, so let's wrap this up, shall we?
Disclaimer: I don't own any characters appearing in this fic.
Meta-Verse Department Agency
In the meeting room
"With the disappearance of Kokoro, we need to find her, before anything bad happens to her. She might be in Baba Yaga's Mirror World, who knows, but it seems that this is gonna go throughout a lot of things." Katy Caterpillar said.
"We're sorry if you have lost her." Tsukasa Hiiragi said.
"It's not your fault." Katy said.
"I, the officer, would like to have a word with this Baba Yaga if she even did took Kokoro away from us." Silvia Maruyama said.
"That'll be a lot of confrontation." Katy said.
"I knew that." Silvia said.
"We have no time to waste. We get Kokoro out of there and find out what Baba Yaga might be up to." Nanoha Takamachi said.
"But where do we begin?" Suzuno Kamazuki asked.
"Don't know." Raggedy Ann said.
"It seems we have a lot to deal with here. So let's get this settled." Paiman said.
"Um, guys. Where's Sackboy?" Klonoa asked.
Dorie Goodwyn looks around the room, noticing Sackboy isn't here. "He's right. Where is he?"
"I thought he recovered after all that." Reanne Griffith said.
"What the hell is going on?" Konata Izumi wondered.
"This isn't Sackboy at all. He's different somehow." Tsumiki Miniwa said.
"Let's go find him, too." Tomoko Kuroki said.
"Right." Kon said.
"Then that settles. Let's go." Katy said.
Outside of the meeting room, Sackboy is trembling in dread, then leaves the area.
Joy to the World

Meta-Verse Department Agency
Sackboy has gotten to entrance, but has been stopped.
"Hold on there a minute."
Sackboy turned to see Nayuki Minase running to him.
"What's going on?" Nayuki asked.
"It's none of your business. I'm going out on my own." Sackboy said.
"This isn't you."
"I already knew it isn't me. I don't wanna be bothered right now."
"Sackboy, come on. I'm just helping you here."
"Just let me go."
"I can't do that. Not until I know what's going on."
Sackboy then pulled out his pupit cursor and throws Nayuki to the lockers, knocking her out.
"Fucking understand." Sackboy then leaves the Agency.
Nayuki gets up, injured. "What gotten into him?"
Back with Konata's group, they gone into Bo Dennis's Dark Magic Corner, where it is filled with all types of dark magic and spells, and books about dark secrets, creatures and realms. But they stopped at a door, a door to a mirror.
"Do you have the key?" Bo asked.
Kanaria gave Bo the key.
"Let's get in." Bo said.
Nayuki staggered towards the group.
Tsumiki turned around, and is in shock of this. "Bloody hell. What just happened to you?"
"It's Sackboy. I tried to understand what's going on, but he just attacked me instead." Nayuki said.
"Where is he now?" Katy asked.
"He's out of the Agency, I know that." Nayuki said.
"Dammit. That means he might be going somewhere else." Paiman said.
"What do we do?" Ika Musume asked.
"Not worry about it for now, until he pops up again." Konata said.
Bo unlocks the door, and the door opens, revealing the mirror.
"So, how does this work?" Hime Haruno asked.
"Simple. We just walk through it. Like a magic mirror." Bo said.
"Alright." Hime said.
Bo proceeds to go through the mirror. The Agents did the same thing.
"Here goes." Hime then goes through the mirror.
Mirror World
The Agents reach the Mirror World, where it is revealed to be a dark place, and it looks sort of like a dark palace.
"So we search for Kokoro, and some of us will deal with Baba Yaga." Katy said.
"You wanna find Kokoro?" Gokicha asked.
"Yeah, since she's a friend I'll have in life." Katy said.
"Good luck." Tsumiki said.
"I will." Katy said.
"I'll come with you." Yoshika Miyafuji said.
"That's fine. Whoever wanna come with me, then come with me." Katy said.
"Seems unintentional enough, but hey, I know where this is going." Ann said.
Katy's group goes to find Kokoro, while Konata's group goes to confront Baba Yaga.
"So, who is this Baba Yaga anyways?" Konata asked.
"She is a witch of this world. Water sources are also portals to this world as well." Bo said.
"A witch?" Tsumiki asked.
"Yes." Bo said.
"That seems like it." Tsumiki said.
"Be careful, because she can take you by surprise." Bo said.
"Already considered that much." Konata said.
"Isn't that the truth?" Tsumiki said.
Chicago
Sackboy walks around the street,then noticed two people: Tsunayoshi Sawada and Yomi Takanashi.
"What the hell do you two want?" Sackboy asked.
"We're here to tell you, about the whole truth." Yomi said.
"I already knew the truth." Sackboy said.
"So you knew that Craftworld is dead?" Tsunayoshi asked.
"I do. After some entity known as Baba Yaga used a powerful dark spell to destroy Craftworld, I was transcended into rage. I turned cold after a point. My bubbly self is now gone. My cuteness just faded. Everything I love, is gone. I'm not going with them. I'm not wanting to face her just because of my cowardice towards her." Sackboy said.
"This is why you don't value friendship that much." Yomi said.
"I thought I might be a lone wolf, until the Witchlings made me see that there is more than meets the eye." Sackboy said.
"You should thank them for that." Tsunayoshi said.
"I don't know how to do that." Sackboy said.
"Just do what you need to." Yomi said.
Sackboy starts to tear up. "I'm sorry."
"At least you know now." Tsunayoshi said.
Sackboy nodded.
"At least you knew what's going on now." Yomi said.
Sackboy nodded again.
They heard a roar.
"What was that?" Yomi asked.
Tsunayoshi goes into his flame mode. Then a man ran like a gorilla towards them.
This man has brown hair and wears a light-brown long-sleeve shirt, pants and is barefoot. This is a Domovoi, a guard dog of Baba Yaga.
"Is that a supernatural?" Yomi asked.
"Looks like it." Tsunayoshi said.
The Domovoi prepared to attack the both of them. Tsunayoshi tries to defeat the Domovoi, but he ends up getting injured easily when the Domovoi grabbed him and throws him to a building.
"Tsunayoshi!" Yomi goes into her blue neon form, but that doesn't work when the Domovoi did the same thing.
Sackboy cowers in fear as the Domovoi came closer to him. "Please don't!"
Away from the city of Chicago, Sackboy's scream can be heard.
Break
Mirror World
Katy's group continues to find Kokoro in this bizarre landscape.
"This place gives me the creeps." Chacha said.
"I can understand what you mean." Katy said.
"We are running around in circles, aren't we?" Silvia asked.
"I'm afraid she's right." Chiho Sasaki said.
"Calm down. Just calm down." Katy said.
"I think that's her, up ahead." Berui pointed at a door, and it seems Kokoro might be behind that door.
"Alright, let's get her out and get her out of here." Katy said.
"You said get her out like twice now." The Very Hungry Caterpillar said.
"Does it matter?" Katy asked.
The team then goes to see the giant robot girl Kokoro, all chained up.
"Kokoro!" Katy said.
Kokoro wakes up and saw the team. "Oh, you guys. I was so worried."
"How did you end up here?" Mao Onigawara asked.
"Well, I was doing what Katy said, but then, I slipped in some sort of portal of some sort." Kokoro explained.
"That would have been a good reason as to why you're gone so long." Katy sighed. "Let's get you out of there."
They heard a roar. They turn to see four Domovois running towards them.
"What are those things?!" Chiho asked.
"These must be watch dogs. Get behind me!" Suzuno takes off her hairpin and it turned into a hammer.
The Domovois came closer to them, but Suzuno managed to smack them to the wall.
"Yikes!" Kokoro said.
Chacha prepares her spell. "Ropes cut, ropes cut, bring about scissors to cut the ropes."
Instead, the ropes disappeared and Kokoro fell to the ground, causing the place to shake real hard.
"Oops." Chacha said.
"I knew this was gonna happen." Katy said.
"Well, at least I'm free though. Thanks." Kokoro said.
"Don't mention it." Chacha rubbed the back of her head.
"Now, to find Konata's group and rendezvous with them." Katy said.
"Um, I think we have another problem." Nayuki said.
"And what's that?" Katy asked.
"I got a message from someone, saying that Sackboy is here." Nayuki said.
"Oh great. Now what?" Katy said.
"Let us find him." Mirabelle Haywood said.
"Go for it." Katy said.
"Let's go, Witchlings." Mirabelle said.
Dorie, Reanne and Mirabelle ride their brooms to find Sackboy.
"Let's rendezvous with Konata's group." Katy said.
The team nodded.
With Konata's group, they have came to a throne room.
"Looks like she's gone." Tsumiki said.
"That's what you think." Smoke appeared on the throne, then the smoke dissipated, revealing an old woman.
This woman has her left eye have no pupils and wears a red hat and red robe. This is Baba Yaga.
"Knew she was gonna do that." Bo said.
"It has been a long time. Now, all of you are gonna die here." Yaga said.
"Don't think so." Tomoko said.
"Oh, you'll be mistaken when you said that." Yaga conjured up some dark energy and released onto the Agents, but they dodged it, but the Doctor was unlucky.
"Well, there you go." Bo said.
"Would you mind?" The Doctor said.
"This will be your undoing. And I will curse all of you." Yaga said.
"Not gonna happen, witch." MADLAX brings out her gun and shot at Yaga, but a Domovoi came and took the hit. "What is that?"
"Seems like you killed one of my guard dogs, the Domovois. Interesting." Yaga said.
"She has guard dogs?" Tsumiki asked.
"I should have told you." Bo said.
"Well, too late for that now." Tsumiki said.
Katy's group arrived and saw this.
"Seems like it's the end of the line." Katy said.
"I have the upper hand." Yaga said.
"You imprisoned my friend, and I'm not gonna let that slide." Katy said.
"So you're her caretaker. Hmm. I might turn you into something worse. Maybe a spider." Yaga said.
"I don't wanna look that gross." Katy said.
"I agree with Katy on that." Yoshika said.
"Silence! She will be mines. All mines." Yaga laughed a wicked laugh.
Katy brings out her Big Impact Gun and shot at Yaga, which caused the witch to disperse.
Bo was in shock. "You killed her. And I thought that thing wouldn't do much damage."
"I did some adjustments to it." Paiman said.
"Really?" Bo said.
"Mm-hmm." Paiman said.
"Well, that's the end of that witch." Konata said.
"We have another problem." Katy said.
"That is?" Tsumiki asked.
"Sackboy is here." Katy said.
"Great, where is he?" Bo asked.
Meanwhile, in a dark chamber, Sackboy is being tortured by him being distorted by some sort of spell while screaming in pain. Two women watched as he screams in pain.
The first woman has silver hair and silver eyes. She wears a black klobuk with embellishments resemble cat ears, a cape, devil wings, a black and white long-sleeve petticoat and black high-heeled boots. This is Sistermon Noir.
The second woman has silver hair and silver eyes. She wears a pink klobuk with embellishments resemble rabbit ears, a cape, angel wings, white and gold long-sleeve petticoat and white high-heeled boots. This is Sistermon Blanc.
The Witchlings came and saw this.
"Let him go!" Dorie said.
Sistermon Noir and Blanc turns to see the Witchlings.
"I'm afraid you're too late." Blanc said.
"What do you mean?" Mirabelle asked.
"You see, we were the ones that destroyed Craftworld, Sackboy's home world, and so we take advantage in hunting him down. We did what we need to." Noir said.
"On who's orders?" Mirabelle asked.
"Under Brainiac's orders." Blanc said.
"That alien scum!" Mirabelle used her wand and shot out light beams at the Sistermons, but they dodged and Blanc attacks Mirabelle with her lance, throwing the Witchling to the side.
"Mirabelle!" Dorie and Reanne said.
"Once we destroy Sackboy, there will be no trace of Craftworld left. It'll all be history." Noir said.
"Why you little-" Dorie said.
The Agents came to the dark chamber and saw this.
"There he is!" Chacha said.
"You're too late!" Noir said.
"That's what you think." Konata grabbed out her sword and she dashed towards Sackboy, to which she untied him and the spell of distortion has been stopped.
"What did you do?" Noir asked.
"Shutting you down." Konata said.
"Who are you working for?" Katy asked.
"We're loyal to Brainiac, and so we still follow him." Blanc said.
"But Brainiac is an alien threat. He wants to destroy the whole world, and maybe he'll turn on you." Ichika Takatsuki said.
Sistermon Blanc then realizes what Ichika just said.
"Still, we're loyal to him and that's that." Noir said.
"I don't know anymore." Blanc said.
"What do you mean? You mean you trust them?" Noir asked.
Blanc nodded.
"Dammit, sister. Why? Just why?" Noir said.
"I don't want our world destroyed. So, I'm gonna trust them." Blanc said.
"How dare?!" Noir said.
Blanc looks at the floor solemnly.
"I'll return." Noir then retreats.
"So much for that." Dorie said.
"Are you okay?" Mirabelle asked.
"I'm sorry. I was such a bastard towards every of you. I didn't realized what I have done until now." Sackboy said.
"It's okay. Besides, your world might be gone, but that doesn't mean friendship will never be gone." Dorie said.
Sackboy looks up at Dorie and smiled. "Thank you. I think I should let you help me from now on."
Dorie nodded.
"You sure about that?" Mirabelle asked.
"Even though she is dumb, she still has a kind heart in her. A heart that shines on. And on." Sackboy said. "Something I don't have anymore."
"What are we gonna do about your sister?" Bo asked.
"I'll convince her one day. She'll understand." Blanc said.
Bo nodded. "Okay."
"We return to base. Our huge mission is done now." Katy said.
"Yeah. That was one huge mission we did." Tsumiki said.
"From stopping the Shadow King, to getting the key from Retro City, then going here to save Kokoro, confront Baba Yaga and then this unexpected event." Konata said.
"That was a lot." Sackboy said.
"I can tell." Bo said.
"Let's go." Paiman said.
"Welcome to the Meta-Verse Department Agency." Katy said.
"Thank you for having me." Blanc said.
Katy nodded.
The team then left the Mirror World.
Space
"I have failed you, master." Noir said.
Brainiac came to her. "And where's Sistermon Blanc?"
"She felt betrayed by you."
"God, what now?"
"I didn't understand it."
"Well, since she is with the Meta-Verse Department Agency I'm assuming, I might as well have to kill her off myself, now will I?"
"Let me at least confront her first."
"Hmm. I'll think about it."
"Yes, master."
Brainiac looks out of the spaceship's window. "My conquest will begin."
