Super Mario Bros. Theme Song
This day could not get any weirder for two young women from two different worlds.
Kirino Kousaka and Yukino Yukinoshita.
The former is described as the younger sister and the youngest of the two siblings of the Kousaka family. She is an overachiever who seemingly lives a perfect life and is idolized by almost everybody. However, she keeps a big secret to her family — that she is an avid otaku and a fan of adult-rated games, especially those involving brother-sister dynamics. Her favorite TV series is Stardust Witch Meruru.
The latter on the other hand is described as the designated "Beautiful Ice Queen" due to her personality and good looks which seems to fade over time due to circumstances of the past. She is the founding president of the Service Club, also sometimes seen as the Volunteers Club, which is a group of volunteer students meant to help their peers overcome any problems they might have.
And as of the present moment in time, they were both standing and facing one another with astonished and surprised expressions.
"Who...are you?"
That was the question that came from the both of them as they muttered in bewilderment, looking towards each other, but not recognizing the other as they have only just met. Even more so when they tended to immediately notice the people all around them, people that they knew all too well, all of whom were rather disheveled and bewildered in appearances due to the seemingly random mysterious phenomenon that suddenly sent all of them to what appears to be a docks of some sort due to all of the shipping boxes that were in the background, and with the direction that the sun was in at this time, it would appear to be about 6:30 a.m. in the morning at this time of estimation, one that confused them greatly as to their perspective, it was about somewhere between 8:45 a.m. and 8:58 a.m. for both Kirino Kousaka and Yukino Yukinoshita's perspective. Even their watches were telling them the proper time of day much to their confusion as they double check to see if they weren't imagining things. All who were gathered alongside them were looking towards them and to each other, speaking in phrases and sentences that were filled to the brim with the emotions of surprise and confusion.
"Oi oi, what the hell just happened?," asked Kakeru Tobe, sporting a look of confusion.
"I believe that we've somehow ended up at some random location," Kōki Mikagami answered, sporting an interested expression.
"Hey man, tell us something we don't know!," Kakeru Tobe replied back, sporting an exasperated expression, scratching his head.
"Ugh, my head is spinning all over the place right now," Yumiko Miura grimaced, holding and rubbing her forehead, seemingly in a vertigo-like state due to the suddenness of unexpected transportation from one place to another.
"What the? Hayato-senpai! Everyone!," Iroha Isshiki exclaimed, looking surprised and confused.
"Ah! Onee-sama!," Saori Makishima exclaimed, sporting a surprised expression.
"Ah! Saori," Kaori Makishima exclaimed, sporting a surprised expression.
"Ah! Kirino!," Ayase Aragaki exclaimed, immediately sprinting towards Kirino in order to make sure that she was alright. "Are you alright?"
"U..Umm," Kirino nodded in turn. "I'm alright."
"Yukinon!," Yui Yuigahama exclaimed, immediately sprinting towards Yukino in order to make sure that she was alright. "Are you alright?"
"Umm," Yukino nodded in turn. "I'm fine."
And as both Kirino and Yukino nodded, they couldn't help but take notice of all of the people that were now gathered besides them, people that they were all too familiar with to one degree or another.
From Kirino Kousaka's side:
Ruri Gokou - Kuroneko.

She also wears a black skirt with a cross-shaped design and black Mary Janes with gray stockings. To finish off her look, she wears a headband adorned with an artificial rose on each side and red contacts. This outfit is a cosplay of Queen of Nightmare, a character from her favorite anime series Maschera: Lament of a Fallen Beast. She is also a member of the same otaku group as Kirino which is Otaku Girls Unite, an online community centered around anime fans, and is known by her handle name Kuroneko. She is an avid fan of Maschera, and hates anime that focus on moe and cuteness to sell (e.g. Kirino's favorite anime series Stardust Witch Meruru). She is also a member of the Games Research Club which is a student organization where members mainly design and program their own games.
She has two sisters that are now presently with her.
Hinata Gokou and Tamaki Gokou.
The former is the second oldest of the three Gokou siblings. Because of her age, she tends to take over in caring for the latter who was the youngest Gokou sister whenever her older sister Ruri isn't present. The latter, unlike her older sister Ruri, who is an avid fan of Maschera, likes to watch Stardust Witch Meruru, and owns a stuffed doll of Comet-kun, Meruru's constant companion, made for her by Ruri, to which wasn't present at the moment and is simply back at their house.
Saori Makishima - Saori Vageena.

This alternate personality would emerge whenever she communicates through the Internet. Whenever a person would talked to her through a messaging service, she speaks (or types, rather) in a refined manner. However, when she talks to people over the phone or personally, she is more cheery and uses the copula "-de gozaru" to end her sentences. Also, her choice of honorifics are distinct between her two personalities; she usually uses "-sama" to refer to familiar persons online, and "-shi" elsewhere. In her alternate personality, she is usually depicted wearing thick glasses, denim pants and a green long-sleeved plaid polo shirt. She also wears a yellow bandanna on her head and usually sports her long hair in two ponytails. However, as of the present moment, she is simply sporting her true appearance that can be described as very beautiful as well as someone who fits her rich status and position, wearing a black and white knee length one piece dress with a lavender colored top, gold necklace with a heart-shaped pendant and her hair left untied.

Kakeru Tobe.
A young man who is a student of Class 2-F and a Soccer Club member alongside Hayato Hayama. He is the first person to address Hachiman Hikigaya wrongly as "Hikitani", who does not correct him due to not really caring too much, which results in some of his clique members to use that nickname.

Shecan appear aggressive to some, both in defense of herself and when being "polite". Her aggressiveness stems from the fact that she can't express herself properly, and just plain social clumsiness. However, in spite of all of this, she is shown to be a kind and loving older sister, and fierce protector of her family.

She is an exceptional people person, able to greet, work with, or manipulate those around her. She is the eldest of the two Yukinoshita sisters and therefore has to maintain a cheerful facade when representing the family for either their father's political events or mother's business meetings. She is the type of person who will meddle so much with what she likes to the point of killing it. For the things she hates, she'd go the extra mile to crush them. She genuinely cares for her younger sister and respects her mother. However, Haruno often meddles in her younger sister's affairs out of love and concern or just for her own pleasure while also feeling envious of the freedom that her younger sister has, since she, as the oldest sibling, has to do everything their parents demand.

She is someone that considers her own presence a hindrance to others and that staying away is the nice thing to do.
Kaori Orimoto.
A young woman who is Hachiman Hikigaya's former classmate from middle school who is currently a student at Kaihin Sougou High School. considered to be a rather blunt person who speaks her mind without hesitation that she tends to speak freely without any consideration towards the person she is speaking to. She is often overly friendly, yet inconsiderate of how others may feel. Her main personality flaw was that she would base her opinion of people she doesn't know through rumors and gossip. She also doesn't consider her words for people whom she didn't value and take them for granted. She is what is ultimately called a self-proclaimed big sister figure and was the type of person to meddle in others' affairs. She would go through the trouble of putting herself out there just so there wasn't an invisible wall erected between you and her. She is ultimately rather kind, though, as she tried to be social with everyone. She is also quite capable of admitting her flaws, after it was pointed out to her a few times down the lineand would eventually take a better approach to interactions, realizing her own flaws in treating others.
Minami Sagami.
A young woman who is a student of Class 2-F, a classmate of Hachiman Hikigaya and Yui Yuigahama and the leader of the 2nd most popular group in their class. On the surface, she appears as an innocent, clever, and unassuming girl, but she only puts up this façade for attention. Being the leader of the second most influential clique in her classroom, she is proud, has a large ego, and is rather pompous. She relies on her group to improve her own popularity and nothing more. Underneath these characteristics, she lacks confidence in her own abilities, letting others dote on her except for Hachiman, and others who are able to see Minami for who she truly is. She has too much arrogance and pride to admit her mistakes or confess when she is wrong, and will instead badmouth and blame others for her problems to cover up her uselessness. She is emotionally weak and can be easily reduced to tears with words alone. She is also easily manipulated by others such as Haruno or Hayama, people she looks up to. The cultural festival was a traumatic incident for Minami due to Hachiman's harsh criticism and her realization of her own shortcomings. She feels inferior to people like Yukino and tries to hide from her problems. After the athletic festival, she has begun to change little by little in terms of personality, becoming more humble and acknowledging of her own faults as time passes by.
Questions were all being asked from the bottom of their minds.
Why were they all here at this point in time? Why was the direction of the sun completely different? Why was the time on all of their wristwatches different than usual? Why were they all suddenly dragged here by some mysterious phenomenon that they still had no idea of where (or when in this case) it had taken them from?

[City Hunter OAS Vol.2] Footsteps [HD]
And as all of these questions were being uttered one way or another, making side comments and confused phrases that made them want to know as to where in the world are they and how did they managed to get there, suddenly...
"Waah!"
The booming sound of explosions had managed to startled them senseless, looking towards the eastern direction where there appeared to be gray colored smoke coming from the horizon, and it was one that was located just a few short meters towards them.
"What?! What?! What?! What's going on here?!," asked Minami Sagami, looking towards random directions, stressing out at the fact that apparent explosions where being heard by her own two ears.
The young ones among the group were now gathering towards the young adults among the group, such as for example, the two Gokou sisters gathering towards Kuroneko, embracing the latter in fear and anxiety, with the former sporting a serious, anxious expression.
What is even more surprising and shocking is that two people of significance that they all knew of were suddenly heading towards their position, taking cover positions across the metal walls of the shipping containers, wearing black business suits, shades, and wielding what appeared to be high-tech guns (?!), both of them who were now sporting grim, professional expressions as they take cover from what appear to be enemy fire that was trying to target them.
"Ah! Kyousuke!," Kirino and many others would exclaim in shock.
"Ah! Senpai!," Kuroneko would exclaim in shock.
"Ah! Kyousuke-san!," Saori would exclaim in shock.
"Ah! Onii-san!," Ayase would exclaim in shock.
"Ah! Hikigaya-kun!" Yukino would exclaim in shock.
"Ah! Hikki!," Yui would exclaim in shock.
"Ah! Hikitani!" many others would exclaim in shock.
At that point, the aformentioned duo would now sport surprised and shocked expressions as they all look towards Kirino, Yukino, and many of the others who were now gathered alongside them from somewhere on the left side, one that was only a meter away at walk's length.
"Wha-What?!," Agent Kyousuke Kosaka and Agent Hachiman Hikigaya would exclaimed in shock, with the former uttering "Kirino!," and the latter uttering ""Yukinoshita!," before eventually immediately recalling the fact that they were now under heavy fire as the sounds of advance laser fire were seen to be shooting from their general direction, with a couple of scorch marks that would appear on the ground and on the walls of the shipping containers.
They appeared to be men that were heavily armed, holding what appears to be modified AK-47s, wearing white business shirts and clown masks that denote their allegiance to a once dreaded figure of the multiverse, one who had made an unfortunate impact and character development upon the lives of the aformentioned duo and of so many others.
These men belong to what is known as the Joker Gang, and throughout the years, they have become a very sore thumb and nuisance to deal with since it firmly reminds them of the many horrors of the past that they would rather like to forget and move on from.
Both of the agents, knowing that they couldn't be distracted at a time like this, were immediately throwing a couple of specialized grenades that managed to knock out a couple of Joker gang members, with some of them rendered unconcious while others appeared to look rather disoriented because of the shockwave of the non-lethal explosion, and with that, both agents would take advantageere now immediately sprinting towards Kirino, Yukino, and many of the others, much to their surprise and shock, with Kyousuke speaking from his wristwatch. "Dispatch, Oracle! Requesting instant transport to our known coordinates asap!"
"Why, Agent Kousaka? Is there something wrong?," Barbara Joan Gordon - Oracle spoke from the comm-channel, sporting a concerned expression.
"My sister and most of everyone that I and my partner knew from our worlds are here! Right now! And I have no damn clue as to how this happened!," Kyousuke explained from the comm-channel.
"Copy that, standing by for eventual pick up," Oracle spoke from the comm-channel.
And as he was talking from the wristwatch, some Joker gang members were now heading towards them, armed and ready to kill, only to be intercepted by a couple of green colored boomerangs that managed to knock the gang members over, with the boomerangs producing what appeared to be automatic fishing nets that managed to sucessfully capture them and hold them in place.
The boomerangs came from none other than what appeared to be a young boy of six or seven, wearing his usual wardrobe that accompanies the name of his secret identity which is composed of a dark blue top hat, suit, and caped overcoat, with a pair of non-reflective glasses that were covering one's face, thereby keeping one's identity strictly hidden.
Conan Edogawa - Shinichi Kudo - Night Baron.
He was slowly rising from his position, having landed from above, standing tall from one of the shipping boxes, sporting a blank expression on his face as he begins to face down the criminals that were about to open fire upon the two agents and their loves ones, friends, and acquaintances. Said love ones, friends, and acquaintances were also sporting expressions of shock, awe, and bewilderment at the fact a young boy in a magician's outfit had just seemingly showed up out of the blue, much to their unawareness, while the two agents could only sport a smile of relief, recognition, and excitement at the fact that the main hero was was appropriate for this occasion had now finally come to help them in their time of need.
"Holy shit! Its Night Baron! Get 'im!," exclaimed one of the gang members, as he and the rest of the gang members, sporting expressions of anger, shock, and most importantly, fear, were aiming their modified AK-47 rifle at in order to attempt to take him out.
And at that precise moment, Night Baron would begin to jump from his position, using his grapnel gun to fire a small monofilament wire that was aimed towards one part of the docks, managing to evade the incoming firepower that was now being hurled at him from below, throwing a couple of smoke bombs that sported the look of ordinary baseballs that managed to provide cover for Night Baron and managed to blind the gang members to the point of confusion and disarray, firing from multiple directions in order to try to compensate and to try to take down Night Baron while unseen, to which in turn would bring the proper amount of time that was needed for a swift evacuation to commence just as scheduled.
"Agent Kousaka, coordinates have been confirmed, transmission is now operational," Oracle spoke from the comm-channel.
And at that moment, Kirino Kousaka, Yukino Yukinoshita, and many others were now being transmitted towards a much safer location while the two agents can do their job properly.
"W-Wait!," Kirino tried to raise her right hand towards her brother, but it was too late, for she and many others were now being transmitted to some place that is out of harm's reach.
After the successful evacuation of their love ones, friends, and acquaintances, the two agents would now begin to make a nod towards each other, knowing that they are going to have to deal with this later, because for now, they would need to take care of these criminals first before anything else.
And with that, they both begin to make themselves ready and sprint right in towards the carnage, using their Desert Eagle staser pistols on stun settings to knock out the criminals that were now too busy engaging with Night Baron, giving him a hand as it were.

Private place · Ayane
It was so sudden, being teleported from one place to another, finding themselves on what appears to be an advance control room that was surrounded by a couple of things that one would find in a sci-fi flick. Holographic monitors that seem to show the battles that they had once had a glimpse at not too long ago, advance type of corridor panels that seem to flash white colored neon lighting, military comm technicians and officers on the helm that were in their assigned posts, and what's most surprising of all was...
"(Sigh). Honestly, to think that all of you would end up here now of all times," Supervisor Shizuka Hiratsuka crossed both of her arms, sporting a slight exasperated, concerned and resigned expression as she sees all of them together in a surprising twist of mere fate.
"S-S-Sensei!," most of everyone from Yukino Yukinoshita's side exclaimed in recognition and shock.
But that was not all...
"(Sigh). Honestly, I'm not all that surprised if I were to be completely honest, sensei," Komachi Hikigaya could only sport the same slight exasperated, resigned expression as she too see all of them together in a not so surprising twist of mere fate, being considered as one of the least weird, unsurprising things on the Hikigaya family's weird-to-do-list for the day.
"K-K-Komachi-chan! You're here too!," Yui Yuigahama exclaimed in shock.
"Um, everyone," Oracle was sporting a concentrated, professional expression, tinge in seriousness, as she was typing from her advance keyboard. "I hate to break this little reunion but I think that all of you would need to see this for yourselves, and that includes the people that have just arrived via transporter.
"?"
Everyone, including those from Kirino Kousaka's side and Yukino Yukinoshita's side, were now turning their attention towards the advance holographic screens that were now showing...
"...Eh?," Kirino and many others uttered in shock, seeing Kyousuke Kousaka once again from the screens.
"...Eh?," Yukino and many others uttered in shock, seeing Hachiman Hikigaya once again from the screens.
A literal battle that was happening at the docks. And this battle was quite the messier one. And from one screen that had Kirino and Yukino's side paying extremely close attention too was Kyousuke Kousaka and Hachiman Hikigaya firing their respective high tech pistols upon the enemy, producing blue ring effects that managed to create a sharp blue colored effect upon many of the targets, immediately knocking many of them down. They were also dodging the dangerous firepower that were being hurled to them from all sides, with surprisingly good acrobatic flips and turns, rolls and side steps which were they were now employing with a clear attention.
These enemies, they all saw, were carrying what appeared to be the iconic AK-47 assault rifles, albeit a little too advance judging by the red colored lights that were being poured out and the differences in sound effects that might as well remind them of the sci-fi flicks and genre once again. And it would appear to Kirino and Yukino's side that these men were wearing white business suits and clown masks.
They saw Kyousuke and Hachiman sprinting fast, shooting down and engaging multiple numbers of these gang members, and if some of these members were to get close to them, they would employ the use of martial arts tactics, knocking them all down via the neck, chest, head, and other vital areas that are too apparent or expose to take complete advantage of.
"...Woah!," muttered Kakeru Tobe, sporting a surprised, awed expression. "Look at Hikitani go!"
Three gang members were aiming their rifles at the two agents, only for Kyousuke to instantly shoot them down via stun. Two gang members were aiming their rifles at the two agents, only for Hachiman to instantly shoot them down via stun. One gang member tried to hit them with an electric staff, only for it to be intercepted by the same young boy in a magician's outfit - Night Baron - who instantly knocked him out via a kicking maneuver from the air, before eventually firing another monofilament wire via his wrist, heading instantly towards another location, managing to take down a couple of gang members that were stationed on the top of one of the nearby warehouses, all of whom were trying to shoot the two agents down, throwing a couple of boomerangs that managed to knock them down instantly, eventually making a graceful landing via kicking maneuver that managed to knock down two gang members.
Two gang members were aiming their rifles at the two agents, only for Kyousuke to instantly shoot them down via stun. Four gang members were aiming their rifles at the two agents, only for Hachiman to instantly shoot them down via stun.
Rinse and repeat.
No matter how much the gang members were to try to get too close or too far in range, they would always be knocked out one way or another by either the two agents or Night Baron, all as they perform their respective skills that managed to keep Kirino and Yukino's side sporting awed, disbelieving expressions as to what they were now all seeing.
And in the midst of the battle, two attack helicopters - Boeing AH-64 Apache - would surprisingly grace the skies via teleport, firing multiple specialized ballistic missiles that were now heading towards the two agents, to which in turn, they could only get out of the way, activating one of the features of their black colored shoes, launching themselves out of the way, with many of the gang members unfortunately getting caught up in the blast, and the two agents were now hovering towards the skies, aiming their respective pistols, setting it to the most appropriate setting, firing a couple of blue colored lights - a special type of EMP - that managed to mess with the systems of the attack helicopters, instantly crashing towards the ground, exploding as a result.
The two agents were now dodging multiple gunfire that was now being hurled towards them from below, moving from the appropriate directions in order not to get shot. And at that moment, in one of the rooftops, a large, tall fat man wearing a clown mask - Charles "Chucko" Buntz - carrying what appears to be a rather advance missile launcher, and was now aiming towards them.
"Hehehehe," Chucko softly laughed.
"Oh shit," muttered both of the agents.
And suddenly, countless numbers of guided coordinated missiles onto the agents, with said agents instantly trying their best to evade and dodge via midflght, with the guided missiles now officially on their tail, to which they eventually employ one of the functions of their advance wristwatches, forming an special type of shield barrier around them that managed to vaporize the incoming missiles, dissipating them to nothing.
At that moment, two girls - Delia and Deidre Dennis - Dee Dee - were now walking side by side towards Chucko, sporting cruel, smiling expressions that were rather creepy and disturbing to both Kirino and Yukino's side, and many of them, especially the younger ones among the group such as the Gokō sisters couldn't help but sport frightened expressions, shaking like a leaf as it were.
"Shall we, Dee Dee?," Delia asked with cruel delight and excitement.
"Of course, Dee Dee," Deidre confirmed positively with cruel delight and excitement.
And at that moment, both of the girls would begin to instantly teleport towards the two agents via their advance wristwatches, much to the two agent's surprise, as both of the girls were now engaging the two agents at midflight.
Kyousuke and Hachiman were parrying each powered attack punches and kicks that were thrown at them by the Dee Dee girls, with their fight eventually heading towards the ground, with both agents performing back flips as the Dee Dee girls both begin to use electric whips with glee, with both agents now sporting a grim, subtle angered expressions of recognition and displeasure, recognizing the two thrill seeking psychopaths as the granddaughters of one Dr. Harleen Quinzel - Harley Quinn from Terrence "Terry" McGinnis - Batman's Timeline, also known by the name of DC Universe-12, and couldn't help but clench their fists, showing that subtle anger that runs deep, deeply reminded of the curse of the Clown Prince of Crime that stretches throughout space and time, one that was noticed by both Kirino and Yukino's side who all couldn't help but sport shocked and intimidated expressions in their own way.
"...Kyousuke," muttered Kirino, sporting a shocked and concerned expression.
"...Onii-san," muttered Ayase Aragaki, sporting a shocked and concerned expression.
"...senpai," muttered Kuroneko, sporting a shocked and concerned expression.
"...Kyousuke-san," muttered Saori Makishima, sporting a shocked and concerned expression.
"...Hikigaya-kun," muttered Yukino, sporting a shocked and concerned expression.
"...Hikki," muttered Yui, sporting a shocked and concerned expression.
"...senpai," muttered Iroha Isshiki, sporting a shocked and concerned expression.
"Oooh, quite enjoyable of their expressions I would say, Dee Dee," Delia asked with cruel delight and excitement, still maintaining her cruel picture perfect smile.
"And that makes them all the more fun and handsome, Dee Dee," Deidre said positively with cruel delight and excitement, still maintaining her cruel picture perfect smile.
"I'll take the left, you take the right," Kyousuke growled.
"No need to tell me twice," Hachiman growled.
And with that, a battle would begin to erupt between the two agents and the two Dee Dee girls, with the former employing the use of one of the functions of their wristwatches that would allow them to move faster and quicker.
Kyousuke was dodging Delia's acrobatic punching and kicking maneuvers, performing calculated power punching maneuvers from the left and right in rapid succession, with Delia dodging every single one of them. Delia would eventually make use of her electric whip, aiming it towards him in a 360-degree mile swath, all in the performance of a twisted circus act, to which in turn were dodge by Kyousuke through the use of back and front flips and rolls on the floor, using his staser pistols to fire blue ring effects that were hurled towards her, only for Delia to dodge with the grace of a circus acrobat.
Hachiman was dodging Deidre's acrobatic punching and kicking maneuvers, performing calculated power punching maneuvers from the left and right in rapid succession, with Deidre dodging every single one of them. Deidre would eventually throw a couple of red and white colored Christmas balls, ones that would explode in rapid expansion of a few meters, ones that were dodge instantly by Hachiman through the use of back and front flips and rolls on the floor, using his staser pistols to fire blue ring effects that were hurled towards her, only for Delia to dodge with the grace of a circus acrobat.
And at that moment, both Kyousuke and Hachiman were now standing back-to-back, with the former saying "Switch!," with the both of them attacking the other Dee Dee in sprint like fashion while dodging their electric whip attacks that were to be hurled upwards, downwards, and sideways.
There was fierce determination that was present. A dark past made present in the most subtle of ways for all to see. With each dodge and attack, both offensive and defensive measures and counter-measures, there was that grim, fierce determination that was etched unto the faces of the two agents who were now doing battle against a twisted legacy that should have been buried to the ground a long time ago. For even after all this time, the Joker - the Clown Prince of Crime would still continue to haunt them even in the most subtle of ways even after ceasing to exist in literal metaphorical fashion, with only the past actions maintained in order to preserve the proper, sacred timeline.
And it was one that got both Kirino and Yukino's side to sport expressions that range from curiosity, fearful, and sweatdropping in concern.
What was happening here? Why were Kyousuke and Hachiman sporting those types of expressions? Expressions that seem completely out of the norm for them?
For truth be told, in the all the times that they have known them for, they never once recalled Kyousuke and Hachiman sporting those types of expressions, carrying that subtle anger that seem apparent to them and to everyone. And it was one that had the people who were alongside them sporting similar types of grim expressions.
"Girls, you might want to step back," Chucko contacted from his earpiece, getting ready to fire his advance missile launcher at the two agents.
"On the double," spoke both of the Dee Dee girls as they now begin to instantly transport themselves out of the way via their advance wristwatches, to which in turn made the two agents carry a surprised expression, instantly realizing on what would happen next as they begin to look towards one of the rooftops of the warehouses, spotting Chucko who was aiming his advance missile launcher towards them.
"Bang, you're dead," Chucko said with a cruel smirk from underneath his clown mask.
But before he managed to shoot the missile launcher, it was eventually struck by a specialized green colored boomerang that managed to fry the missile launcher, with Chucko instantly letting it go in order not to get electrocuted, only to be suddenly kicked from behind by Night Baron who had managed to knock him off of the rooftop via a swift kick, sending him hanging from one part of his leg towards the upper side of the walls of the warehouse through the use of a monofilament wire that was conjured from his wrist.
Night Baron would eventually descent with grace towards the two agents, eventually throwing a couple of boomerangs that managed to knock down a couple of gang members that were all aiming at them from the western direction.
Night Baron and the two agents would make a subtle nod of camaraderie towards each other, with the former eventually firing his grappling gun to fire small grappling hooks on monofilament wire that were aimed towards one part of the docks in order to head towards his next destination, while the latter were now sprinting towards another location.
And as Night Baron manages to swing from one part of the docks to another, he immediately begins to spot a hyena like creature - Woof - coming at him with claws on the ready, only for Night Baron to dodge the incoming strike, landing in above one of the shipping containers, performing a kicking maneuver that managed to knock down three gang members, falling towards the ground in a thump, with him making a graceful landing, now in a crouch position.
"Hey there, Night Baron."
Night Baron begins to turn towards the left and the right, spotting ten Joker gang members from each side, wielding modified AK-47 assault rifles all aimed directly at him, and in between them was a man - Ghoul - wearing Halloween theme into his costume which is composed of a witch hat and plastic jack-o-lantern which he kept filled with a number of monster-inspired weapons and tricks.
"How about a little trick-or-treat?," Ghoul said, smirking cruelly, wielding his own modified weapon that was futuristic in design that was aimed towards him.
And with that, multiple red colored beams would now be fired upon Night Baron from both sides, with him dodging at every turn, throwing a boomerang towards the sky in order to create an EMP burst that managed to fry all of the weapons that Ghoul and his fellow gang members were carrying, to which he proceeds to immediately knock down a couple of gang members from their vital spots such as the neck, chest, head, and other exposed areas that are the most vulnerable to attack, dislodging their respective weapons from them in turn, all in a burst of speed that seem near instantaneous, all based around one of the special functions of his Night Baron outfit, courtesy of Lucius Fox. After taking care of the gang members, he focused his sights on Ghoul, knocking him down by performing a chop attack to his neck, and performing a roundhouse kick which sends him to the upper floor of the shipping container, to which Night Baron would begin to throw a tennis ball that houses a glue grenade which managed to stick Ghoul to said floor with no hope of escaping.
"RAAAAAAAAAGH!," Woof begins to raise his claws towards Night Baron, intending to strike him down, only for the latter to dodge, using an advance stun gun to knock Woof out of commission, falling towards the ground in a thump, with Night Baron throwing a glue grenade in order to stick Woof right where he is and in order to not let him get the chance to escape.
And with that, Night Baron immediately uses his grapple gun to head towards his next destination.
"Oracle, Clairvoyant, I've successfully taken down three of the Joker lieutenants. The only one that's left on the list is Dee Dee and Bonk. I'm going to need you both to tell me where I could find him," Night Baron contacted from the comm channel.
"About that, Night Baron," Ai Haibara - Shiho Miyano - Clairvoyant was now sporting a serious expression, looking towards one of the screens showing Bonk all powered up with a serum that enhances his strength and speed, pounding through a couple of Mobile Task Forces (MTFs) that were pouring out green beams of light that were proving to be of no effect whatsoever due to a shield that was forming throughout his entire person, with said soldiers getting knocked out in droves. Not helping was the fact that the Joker gang members were also firing in turn, killing off a few MTF soldiers who were unfortunately caught up in the crossfire, much to the shock and horror of many of Kirino and Yukino's side. "You and the rest might want to hear this."
"Ah! Taishi!," Saki Kawasaki exclaimed in shock, as she and Keika Kawasaki were sporting shocked, anxious, and concerned expressions as they were seeing their younger brother amidst the gunfire.
"Ah! Oniichan!," Sena Akagi exclaimed in shock, seeing her older brother amidst the gunfire.
"Dispatch, this is Agent Kawasaki, to everyone who is listening, we're currently pinned down at the southeast corner," Agent Taishi Kawasaki spoke from the comm channel, as he, Agent Kouhei Akagi, and some MTFs were now taking cover from the metal crates nearby, with him and the rest opening fire, stunning some of the gang members. "Need immediate assistance."
"Copy that, Kawasaki, this is Spider-Man, heading there now," Peter Benjamin Parker - Spider-Man (616) said, firing and swinging a few web fluid lines that were sticking towards the sides of the crates and walls while dodging enemy fire, managing to produce multiple web powered attacks that managed to stick through the muzzles of the rifle that the gang members, exploding in turn which knocks many of them out.
After dealing with the gang members that were surrounding Taishi and the other MTF soldiers, he begins to head towards Bonk who was now busy dealing with another group of MTF soldiers that were trying to knock him down with FN SCAR staser rifles, to which in turn was proving to be quite ineffective.
"Is that the best you all got?," Bonk taunt with glee, lifting up a shipping container in order to hurl it on top of the soldiers, only to be firmly denied by Spider-Man as he throws an abandoned automobile that was heading straight towards him, exploding in turn, which in turn managed to make Bonk let go of the shipping container to the side, not being the least bit damaged, with the only problem being blinded, seeing nothing but smoke.
"Hey, ugly," Spider-Man gloated. "Why don't you fight against someone that can actually take your one liners seriously?"
"Grrrrrr," Bonk growled, looking from all directions in order to find the familiar voice that he considers to be very irritating to listen too. "How about you come down here and fight, webhead?! Or are you too chicken to even face me as I am?!," he boasted.
Look. Look. Look. Look.
But then, multiple tennis balls were now seen rolling towards the ground, forming a circular like pattern around Bonk, to which in turn would activate an automatic prison cell, all colored in green handlebars, specifically designed for Bonk himself, courtesy of Lucius Fox once again, to which the now mentioned prisoner himself had tried to escape by touching the handlebars without thinking, only to get instantly shocked to the point of unconsciousness, immediately falling towards the ground in a thump.
As the smoke begins to clear, Night Baron was now clearly visible, with Spider-Man standing by right beside him, as they both begin to make a nod towards each other for a job well done.
"Oracle, Clairvoyant, Bonk's been subdued. The only one left to deal with now would be Dee Dee," Night Baron spoke from the comm-channel.

"Oh I think you're forgetting something, Darling."
And at that point, both Night Baron and Spider-Man were instantly dodging a couple of sharp pointed kitchen knives that were suddenly thrown their way, sticking towards the ground. They begin to look up, spotting a young woman with long brown hair holding two kitchen knives, standing from one of the shipping containers that are stacked upon each other, three in number.
This woman has the appearance of a high school student, seemingly normal in appearances, with red lipstick lips and purple eyes, a sailor fuku that was sporting the colors of white and blue, with a red necktie to accompany it, all waving at the breeze that was now blowing from the west. And this woman was lovingly smiling towards Night Baron in a very twisted fashion, one that managed to thoroughly creep out both Kirino and Yukino's side, sporting their own fearful expressions in accordance with their given personalities.
Both Night Baron (especially) and Spider-Man were narrowing their eyes, the former most especially out of concern, recognizing one of the most dangerous enemies that could be considered to be a part of Night Baron's own personal rogue's gallery.
"Maneater," Night Baron muttered, with a tone of regret and sorrow that lies underneath.

In her terrible childhood, she was left with no parents at all, passing away due to a car accident cause via drunk driving by an idiot truck driver who crashes his truck into the parents car, being basically left all alone. She was eventually adopted by her aunt, teaching her and raising her with deranged ethics to accept all types of "love" and love everyone which includes the following:
1.) Bringing in strange men to sexually and physically abuse her.
2.) Ripping apart Megumi's teddy bear right in front of Megumi.
3.) Sexually and physically abuse her.
4.) Many other kinds of abuse that would teach her said "love".
And said abuses had unfortunately happened quite a lot, to which at the very end of it was the penultimate culmination that had her made use of a kitchen knife in order to protect herself, waving it wildly as it were, and had accidentally managed to stab her aunt through the heart, to which in turn was the event that finally made her snap, with this event being considered in Joker term as her ONE BAD DAY, to which in the midst of a bloody aftermath could only start laughing while crying as it were which continued on by the time the police had managed to find her, all covered in blood, with a bloodied kitchen knife in her left hand, heavily traumatized by what she had just done.
Next few years later, she was simply living with adoptive caring parents this time, seemingly getting over that part of her life, to which she really didn't and her past traumas were still there albeit subtly hidden in a way that not even her adoptive parents would have noticed, especially considering the fact that the Committee of 300, in their endeavor to create possible future candidates for their secret projects, would take subtle notice of Megumi and would scrub her records clean as it were.
At the present moment in time before Shinichi Kudo shrunk and became Conan Edogawa, she was now officially attending Teitan High School as a first year high school student, and meeting Shinichi Kudo for the very first time during the opening ceremony of Teitan High School, bumping into each other by accident, with Shinichi getting her purse and giving it back to her, to which she thanked him with a seemingly warm, fluffy smile, being the rather excited genki fan girl who knows who Shinichi Kudo is due to his reputation.
In Teitan High School, she would be well renown as the girl who is seemingly quite charismatic, having a genius level intellect that made her the top two in the entire school, second only to Shinichi Kudo who was the first, and is very nice and kind to everyone from the outside perspective.
She and Shinichi would be in separate classes but would usually meet up from time to time in order to hang out, and sometimes with Ran Mouri (much to Megumi's unhealthy subtle jealousy) and Sonoko Suzuki coming along, and in all that time, Shinichi in particular was becoming a bit too concerned and alarmed as it were due to the gut feeling and the careful observations that he had made that something felt off about Megumi in particular due to a seemingly constructed personality that was all sugary and sweet on the outside, along with the obvious feelings that she had with him and the very subtle sharp pointed glances of murderous intent that was directed towards Ran Mouri in particular, to which in turn would lead to him to investigate carefully regarding her, to which in turn made him found no leads whatsoever, with her official records seemingly clean as it were, to which in turn was one of the few cases wherein Shinichi would have to investigate as quiet as possible in order to not tip Megumi off, keeping a very close watch on her, to which he would eventually tell only to the following individuals regarding her: the Doctor, Batman, his father Yusaku Kudo - the First Night Baron, and Team TARDIS.
And in between the years between her aunt's death and her attendance at Teitan High School, she was actually a very big understating fan of both Shinichi Kudo and Night Baron (especially specifically the second one - Shinichi Kudo before he got shrunk by Gin and Vodka), being enamored with him due to comparing him to that of a hero of the night who swoops in and stops the bad guys from getting what they want, having collected nearly all of the articles and information about both Shinichi Kudo and Night Baron, if only in a secret, stalkerish manner of a way, quite good at covering her tracks.
Then one day, Shinichi Kudo suddenly disappeared and with that, the Second Night Baron suddenly disappeared, to which was the time when he eventually shrunk into Conan Edogawa, to which was instantly noticed by Megumi who tried to look for him everywhere to no avail, much to her despair and longing for his company.
Then one night, someone from the Committee of 300, Gensei Kihara, had suddenly stopped by her home, with her adoptive parents all dead as it were due to being fired by a couple of silencer staser pistols that were shot by two Committee of 300 Agents who were standing side by side towards Gensei Kihara, who would eventually offer and propose to her with a choice that would soon change her life, with the bonus being that she get's to learn the second Night Baron's actual identity as Shinichi Kudo, now known by his alias as Conan Edogawa, to which she would eagerly accept with a twisted joyful smile, not caring about the fact that her adoptive parents are all dead and only caring about the fact that she gets to see her beloved Shinichi again.
And this offering that was given to her had made her eventually obtain dangerous reality warping abilities relating to the concept of a kitchen knife, and is known to be very creative of it, with her unfortunate victims being cut to pieces as it were, much to the shock and horror of even the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, and thus catch the complete attention of Night Baron who would eventually confront Megumi in a very difficult battle, one where he had tried in vain to reason with her, offering to help her due to her "condition", and trying his utmost best to calm her down, to which in turn was unfortunately unsuccessful, with her obsessive love regarding him and other complex factors getting in the way, and it was a very difficult battle that would eventually end up with Night Baron defeating Megumi through the help and assistance of Ran Mouri and the rest of Teitan High School, eventually taken to the International Penitentiary, Oppenheimer Island for medical treatment, locked in a maximum containment cell in order to contain her reality bending powers concerning the concept of a kitchen knife as it were, to which was only an unfortunate temporary measure, breaking out of prison with the help and assistance of the Committee of 300, to which in turn would make her quite the valuable asset due to her intelligence and charisma despite her psychopathic tendencies which were only really directed to one Shinichi Kudo, now presently Conan Edogawa, with Shiho Miyano - Ai Haibara - Clairvoyant being her primary target for revenge once she learned of the fact that she was Shinichi's chosen girl and not her, and with the rest being just collateral damage along the way.
"Hehehe! Surprise! Surprise!," Maneater said rather excitedly, but also sorrowfully in a subtle 'blink and you missed it' fashion. "I've always wanted to continue where we left off, Darling, and so, why not do so at this particular point while you and your friends were busy dealing with all of these no good rejects that still continued to follow a dead man."
"Why exactly are you here, Maneater?," Night Baron asked demandingly, but also in concern, especially considering that it's been a few days from his perspective since he last saw her, but had the thought that there was the possibility that for Maneater, it had been far too long, depending on when in the timeline, especially in connection with the wider multiverse. "What's your connection to this operation?"
"Oh, nothing much if I were to be quite honest, dear," Maneater simply waved her right hand that has a kitchen knife in tow, sporting an expression of playful demeanor. "Just a simple job that the Committee's tasked for me to do and to which one that I've been payed for with interest, which is to stop you and your friends from interfering anymore than you should. But well," she would begin to smile ferociously towards Night Baron, likened to that of a predator having found her prey. "I thought that I would also like to use this opportunity to play with you as it were, for I really did miss you my sweet little cucumber."
"Brrrr," Spider-Man shuddered, being disgusted and disturbed, yet also concerned. "Man, even after what Dick and Tim had said a while back, I still can't believe that you managed to attract this type of girl to you, Baron, since I'd figure that this one's usually Batman's whole sthtick."
"Well, all things considered, Spider-Man, this wasn't even the first time I faced so-called psychopaths like her," Night Baron simply answered, sporting a grim line expression.
"And I officially dare not to ask in order to sleep better at night," Spider-Man simply said in grimace, with a tinge of humor.
"Alright, boys, that's enough of your chit-chat," Maneater both use her kitchen knives in order to produce a loud, ringing sound. "Since its about time that dearest old mommy is here to play with her dear old daddy," she said the last part, instantly teleporting as it were.
And with that, both Night Baron and Spider-Man were now in a back-to-back position as they try to locate Maneater, with the former using Detective Mode while the latter was using Spider-Sense.
Wait. Wait. Wait. Wait.
And at that particular moment, a couple of knives would instantly materialize, being sent towards their way from above, to which in turn made both Night Baron and Spider-Man dodge via rolling from the floor. Many knives would instantly follow in droves from the upward, downward, and sideways direction, one that made both Night Baron and Spider-Man to perform acrobatic flips and rolls, twists and turns which would let them evade the incoming dangerous objects that were now sticking themselves upon the ground.
At that point, Maneater had suddenly appeared, with two kitchen knives in tow, performing a circular twist that likened to that of a twister, with her knives all aimed towards Night Baron's back, to which in turn he would instantly notice as he begins to roll towards the side, dodging the attack. Another set of knives were being hurled towards him from the ground, sprouting above as it were, with Night Baron eventually dodging them once again, back flipping a few meters.
Maneater would suddenly appear right behind Night Baron's back, aiming her kitchen knives towards his legs and feet in order to maim, to which she was eventually being webbed in the face by Spider-Man, rendering her completely blind, to which made Night Baron throw a couple of tennis balls which in turn activated a nullified prison cell that was specifically designed for her, to which was once again by courtesy of Lucius Fox, entrapping her from within and seemingly nullifying her powers.
But...
"Hehehehehehehehehahahahahahaha!"
Maneater would seemingly laughed in amusement, with the webbing still in her face, said face which was still full to the brim with deranged excitement and enthusiasm at the prospect of a challenge, and it was also the moment that had Night Baron secretly activate a distress alert call from his wristwatch, taking advantage of the temporary distraction.
"Oh my silly Darling," she spoke while smirking delightfully. "These toys won't exactly work on me anymore because just like you, Darling, I too have my own insurance policies."
And at that moment, the cell would suddenly turn off, with the webbing on her face immediately sliced in half, revealing her wide open eyes that spoke of madness, despair and obssession, with the tennis balls now being blown away in a burst of artificial winds that were seemingly conjured, turning said tennis balls into sharp pointed kitchen knives that were thrown towards both Night Baron and Spider-Man, who were now instantly dodging said kitchen knives via twist and turns.
Both Night Baron and Spider-Man were now sporting grim expressions, seemingly not surprised at the fact that this would happen since this in relation to the power that Maneater now possesses which concerns that of the broad term "Gigalomaniac" which is often used to describe those individuals with real-booting powers, meaning the ability of sharing their delusions and thoughts with other human beings, creating a shared perception of the same concept and thus forcing said concept into existence. In addition to that they have the ability to perceive others' delusions and other gigalomaniac's DI-Sword. An awakened gigalomaniac will be able to real-boot a DI-Sword.
And Maneater, a gigalomaniac by nature, was now transforming her kitchen knives, turning it into her own DI-Swords which would materialize, forming a futuristic design with pink tinge colors.
"Oh, I know that you have your own countermeasures, to which was why that I and my friends had made plans of our own," Night Baron declared confidently, putting both of his glove hands to his pockets, before eventually saying in a loud voice. "Now!"
And at that point, an instant shockwave was suddenly projected which spread out throughout the entire docks at full instant speeds, likened to that of a bubble in appearance, to which by the time it would suddenly spread to their position, Maneater's powers would suddenly cease to be, with her DI-Swords suddenly disappearing on a whim, replacing it only with her kitchen knives, much to her shock and surprise.
"What?!," Maneater exclaimed in surprise and shock.
"In the event when I would have to encounter you once again, I and a few others had made contingency plans for your eventual return, to which in turn would make sure that you won't get to use any of your gigalomaniac powers and abilities, so consider yourself temporarily rendered as an ordinary human.
But Maneater, far from expressing defeat was actually smiling in a very twisted fashion, secretly applauding Night Baron's efforts. "Well done, Darling. As expected of the man that I love. You always do have an ace or two up your sleeve."

"I'm giving you a chance to come quietly and turn yourself in, Maneater, no," Night Baron shakes his head. "Megumi-chan. Please surrender peacefully. It doesn't have to be like this once again. It doesn't have to end with me fighting against you once again. Let me help you. You don't have to carry your trauma or your sins by yourself anymore. Do you have any idea how many people have missed you since you were away despite what you have done? I know that you could be better than this. Don't let the past define who you are. What's important now is the present moment, not what you used to be. Don't you remember all of the times when we just hang out, simply exchanging bentos during lunch time? Don't you remember all of the pranks that we used to do back in the day before all of this? Don't you remember all of the smiles and laughter that we have created during our first days in highschool? Don't you remember all of that?"
Maneater - Megumi Aizawa could only sport a sad, genuine smile for once, with the little light seemingly present amidst the darkness that embodies the concept of the kitchen knife that was twisted to the core, one that was filled to the brim with sorrow, regret, and shame. And it was something that brought absolute silence to all who are present in the here and now, with Spider-Man simply watching in respectful silence.
"Yes, I do remember all of that, Darling," Megumi simply smiled sadly, with her hands seemingly trembling, almost to the point of letting her kitchen knives go. "And I would say that it was one of the things that I deeply cherish more than anything. All of the times when we met, I cherish them most deeply. You were one of the only genuine people to actually befriend me for who I was despite my past. You were so very kind and understanding to me, and it was one of many contributions that eventually lead to me falling in love with you."
And that honest declaration that came forth from a heart that is plunge in the darkness of despair, with a little light, no matter how small, seeming to exist one way or another.
"Then...," muttered Night Baron, making an expression of hope and worry.
But then...
"But," Megumi could only shake her head. "Its far too late for me, Darling. I've already had so many sins pile on top of my head. I've killed my aunt. I've killed so many people. It's far too late for forgiveness from the path that I have chosen."
"Don't say that!," Night Baron declared boldly, putting his right glove hand to his heart. "If people or society or even the world itself would condemn you, I would still be here to say that I forgive you. Nothing is unforgiveable, and in my line of work, I have met people and individuals who have dealt much worst things than you have. You're just a normal girl, Megumi-chan. A normal girl who had been dealt with a harsh blow by life itself. You don't need to let yourself be alone anymore. You have me, Ran, Sonoko, and many others who were waiting for you. Me and our friends are waiting for you. Please Megumi-chan!," he said the last part, almost asking to the point of begging, with the bold, confident tone on his voice flowing from within his very own heart.
"That's the problem isn't it, Darling?," Megumi could only sport a bitter smile and with tears. "A friend. You only see me as a friend, nothing more, nothing less. You mean far more to me than just that you know."
"I know," Night Baron simply bowed his head in sadness. "But even so, I can't help but want to save you as a friend who simply cares about you. You're my friend, Megumi-chan, and you are as irreplaceable as any other friend. This isn't how it is suppose to be. Don't add on to the mistakes that you've already committed. Please turn yourself in. I can help you. Please!," he said the last part, raising his right glove hand towards her, extending a hand of salvation and mercy towards her, a person that was already soaked in despair and blood.
There was simply hesitation. There was simply silence. There was simply nothing but tension between two old friends who have been separated by circumstances that are however quite unfortunate.
Wait. Wait. Wait. Wait.
But then...
"Sorry, Darling," Megumi said sadly with a trembling smile, suddenly drawing a knife towards her wrist in order to commit suicide, only for Spider-Man to suddenly interfere by firing a web line towards the kitchen knives, dragging it out of her own two hands, with Night Baron taking advantage of the distraction, throwing a couple of tennis balls that would emit sleeping gas which would allow one Megumi Aizawa to seemingly fall asleep, much to her constant shock and bewilderment as she tried to fight it, but to no avail, seemingly falling headfast towards the ground, only for Night Baron (who was automatically wearing a gas mask) to catch her immediately with his own two hands, gently laying her down towards the ground and examined her heart signature rating and bodily functions, showing normal signs of status in case of unconsciousness.
Night Baron would only begin to breathe in and out, eventually making use of one of the functions of his suit to dispersed the sleeping gas, accomplishing one part of his goal which was to subdue Megumi without hurting her too much and in order to get her the help she needed the most, all while promising on never to leave her side as an irreplaceable friend who would always be there for her.
Is this how the Doctor felt in all of the times when he tried to persuade the Master, his very own childhood friend?
Is this how Batman had felt in all of the times when he couldn't be able to convince the Joker to give up on his crusade for chaos?
Is this the struggle of how one tries but fail to save someone who seemed to deep to never turn back from?
This was the question that eventually came forth from his mind. And it was one that he couldn't help but ponder and compare in this situation.
But still...
Despite all of that, no matter how many sins that Megumi Aizawa had committed, she still has a friend by the name of Shinichi Kudo, now presently known as Conan Edogawa. Even if the entire world turns against her, he will not abandon her. Not now, not ever. With her past that had done nothing but give her pain, he would be the one who would try to find ways to heal it little by little, step by step, and would eventually have her walk in the sunlight once more.
Night Baron would eventually turn back towards Spider-Man who was walking right near to them, both of whom were making a subtle nod towards one another, and with that, Night Baron would eventually make contact with Oracle and Clairvoyant.
"Oracle, Clairvoyant, this is Night Baron, Maneater has been subdued, I'm going to need an immediate extraction for myself and for Maneater," Night Baron spoke through the comm-channel.
"Copy that, Night Baron. Transport to your coordinates would be inputted now. Standing by," Oracle spoke through the comm-channel.
And with that, Night Baron and an unconscious Maneater would eventually be teleported away as swift as the wind, with Spider-Man eventually heading back towards the battle in order to assist one Kyousuke Kousaka, Hachiman Hikigaya, and the rest of the SCP Foundation that were present back at the docks.

Private place · Ayane
This has been one heck of a surreal day so far for Kirino Kousaka, Yukino Yukinoshita, and the rest that were now watching the viewscreens that were showing the battle that was now happening at the docks. And all of them were glued towards a particular screen that shows Kyousuke Kousaka and Hachiman Hikigaya fighting for their life as they perform acrobatic and martial arts movements via flips and turns, aiming their Desert Eagle staser pistols upon the enemy, stunning many of them to the ground.
"Ok seriously, is this really Hikkio that we're all seeing right about now? Cause there's just no way he's doing all of... that!," Yumiko Miura exclaimed, sporting an exasperated and disbelieving expression while making wild gestures as she sees the person with rotten fish eyes who was the lone wolf of Sobu High School is now practically performing acrobatic and martial arts stunts that could make stunt actors jealous and knocking down the clown criminal gang members with ease through a bunch of punching and kicking maneuvers while dodging red colored laser fire that was coming from the modified AK-47 assault rifles.
"Hmmmm," Shizuka Hiratsuka laughed. "Yes, Miura. You are seeing Hikigaya and his partner doing kung fu on the bastards."
"Partner?!," Kirino raised an eyebrow at that, eventually drawing near towards Shizuka, sporting a slightly angered and concerned expression. "Ok you, since I'd figure that you were the one who's in charge around here, you'd better start explaining as to what the hell is going on here?!"
"That's right!," Ayase exclaimed out of concern, pointing towards the screen that shows Kyousuke and Hachiman. "Why is Oniisan fighting out there?! And why is he carrying two guns?!"
"I would like to know as well," Kuroneko said, sporting a serious expression.
"They all have a point, sensei, we deserved to know what's been happening here?," Yukino said, sporting a serious expression, with arms crossed.
"That's right, we need to know as to how is Hiki even doing what he's doing right now," Yui said, sporting a concerned expression.
"And that's not all! My brother is there! What the hell is my little brother doing in a shoot out of all places?!," Saki questioned, sporting an expression of anger and worry.
Shizuka could only sigh heavily, looking towards Komachi who was sporting the same grimace expression as she was, then she looks back towards the ones who were asking the questions. "I would if I could everyone, believe me, but for one, its not really up to me to tell you since that job is suppose to be up to Kousaka and Hikagaya, and for two," she would begin to sport a grave expression that is directed towards Kirino, Yukino, and everyone not in the know. "Can I request for all of you to go easy on those two this time if it be possible? This mission that they are now undergoing as of this moment is actually pretty personal to them both all things considered."
"Personal?," Kirino, Yukino, and many others said as they looked back towards the screen that was showing Kyousuke and Hachiman beating down every single gang member of the Joker Gang from within their sights.
They have been paying close attention to the way that both Kyousuke and Hachiman were now fighting. Employing combat maneuvers that were efficient in taking down the gang members who wore clown outfits. Many bones crack as the the agents perform fast punches and kicks that sends the gang members flying and falling towards the ground. Multiple MTFs were now providing cover fire through the use of their FN SCAR staser rifles that were all set to stun. The attacks were all coordinated and organized. Both agents, along with Taishi Kawasaki and Kouhei Akagi, were now leading the men that were raining down a hail of stun fire towards the gang members, knocking them down from every place that they could positioned themselves from whether from the ground, above the shipping containers, above the rooftops of the warehouse, and many other hiding spots.
Kyousuke was performing quick maneuvers as he aims his pistols on two Joker Gang members, knocking them out. One Joker Gang member tried to perform a surprise take down through the use of his electric staff, only to be denied by Hachiman who shot him in the face, stunning him. Five Joker Gang members were opening fire upon both Kyousuke and Hachiman who had materialized yellow colored shields from their wristwatches, effectively blocking said laser fire, with the gang members getting taken out by surprise by Spider-Man through the use of quick take downs via the lower parts before eventually swinging away towards another location in order to take out a couple of Joker Gang members that were busy opening fire upon many MTFs that were now taking cover from multiple directions.
Two Joker Gang members would suddenly come up from behind Kyousuke and Hachiman, raising their electric staffs in order to perform an immediate takedown, with Kirino, Yukino, and many others gasping in shock, with Kirino saying "Look out!" even though Kyousuke and Hachiman can't hear her. Nevertheless, Kyousuke and Hachiman would suddenly dodge the attack, with the latter punching one Joker Gang member in the face in brutal efficiency while the former managed to take the weapon out of the criminal's hands, breaking the shoulders and knocking said criminal out via round house kick.
Six Joker Gang members would suddenly teleport towards them, forming a circular pattern of attack as they raised their rifles towards them, only for them to dodge their shots with ease via flips and turns, performing punches and kicks towards the face, upper torso, chest, and other exposed vital areas, with some of those takedowns removing their respective rifles away and send them to the floor. The last of the Joker Gang members get's shoulder punch to the face by Hachiman which was then followed by Kyousuke back flipping the enemy, taking them down via landing the criminal's head towards the ground in a thump, rendering him unconscious.
Three Joker Gang members were firing at Kyousuke and Hachiman from the directions of the southwest and southeast, with the two agents instantly dodging via flips and rolls, using their staser pistols to stun the three gang members. Two Joker Gang members were trying to hit Kyousuke and Hachiman with their electric staffs, only for their attacks to be turned against them, with both agents performing a countermove that would forcibly discard said electric staff and turn it against them, shocking them senselessly to the point of unconsciousness.
Five 7 ft. tall Joker Gang members were now seen via teleport, encircling around Kyousuke and Hachiman who were now initiating a back-to-back position, with battle stances on the ready as the gang members would immediately charge in, in order to deal with them. Making swift dodges and turns while making use of countermoves, both agents were eventually, after through much effort, managed to knock down the five gang members, making use of said gang members respective attacks and turn it against them, with some of them knocking out their fellow gang members, and with some getting knocked out by the two agents through the use of offensive moves that allows them to perform jump attacks to the chest and send them instantly towards the ground in a thump.
One Boeing AH-64 Apache had suddenly appeared from the sky via teleport in order to open fire on the two agents, only for its tail to suddenly explode due to getting fired by a missile ballistic by Taishi who took immediate notice of it, aiming his respective staser pistol towards it, to which in turn would send the helicopter instantly crashing from some part of the ground, crashing and exploding as a result.
Five Joker Gang members would suddenly come up from behind Kyousuke and Hachiman, raising their electric staffs in order to perform an immediate takedown, to which the two agents would eventually dodge and side step, using punches and kicks to the face, chest, legs, and other vulnerable spots. The last gang member was instantly taken down, with Kyousuke performing an upper cut that sends him flying, with Hachman performing a jump kick maneuver that sent him violently towards the ground, knocking him out.
Both agents would eventually move forward, engaging multiple Joker Gang members along the way, dodging laser fire and offensive electric staff attacks, and counterattacking with power determined punches and kicks, with a few additional kicks that managed to broke a few bones, rendering the enemy combatants incapacitated to unconsciousness.
One Joker Gang member tried to aim his electric staff to Kyousuke's right side, only for the latter to dodge and grab hold of the former's arm, twisting it, which caused a scream of pain to be let out by the gang member, before eventually being flipped over and knocked down to the floor. Hachiman was providing cover fire by shooting two Joker Gang members in the face, stunning them. Many Joker Gang members from the northeast were eventually firing coordinated missiles that were launch towards them, only for them to be intercepted by two other agents that were on the ground, one's that both Kyousuke and Hachiman would eventually take notice.
"Figure'd you could use a hand," spoke a young man who wore the same black business suit and shades, with Kyousuke and Hachiman taking notice of him as he was walking in stride with two highly advanced staser pistols on the ready.
"Ayanokōji," Hachiman muttered in recognition.
Kiyotaka Ayanokōji.
He was an SCP Foundation Men in Black (MIB) Division Agent, considered to be Hachiman's rival, and who attends Advanced Nurturing High School in his world as a second year student, being assigned to attend there in order to provide official reports for Councilman Max Walker - O5-12 in regards to the state of the school and the world that he lives in, being assigned to monitor said school and world as part of his jurisdiction.
He is an inconspicuous and unobtrusive student, and while his grades are average (on purpose), he possesses a sagacious ability to read the emotions of people around him with pinpoint accuracy and either helps or destroys them. He is well-versed in history as he has quoted many historical figures who are all well known for their intelligence. He tends to come up with ingenious and imaginative plans such as using the school rules so that he could obtain old test questions from an older D-Class student by paying him 15,000 points. He also used the rules and the purpose of points to bribe his teacher into stopping the expulsion of Ken Sudō, a student of class 2-D and a member of the Basketball Club, referred to as one of the 3 Idiots of D-Class due to his poor academic ability. In fact, it is hinted by a select few that he could have easily been placed in a higher class like A-Class if he actually applied himself. He is somewhat socially awkward, as he is terrible at communicating with people and fails at correctly associating with them. As a result, he speaks in a very monotonous way and tends to isolate himself from his peers, not getting involved with social activities. These traits tend to leave an impression on others that he is cunning, uncaring, breezy, and carefree, while also hinting at aloofness, latency, or generally a sense of apathy towards anything besides issues that specifically concern him. That is why some people in his class still finds him to be an enigmatic presence despite having been with him for over a year. However, he is quite capable of sustaining some conversations, though in a somewhat dull and monotonous fashion. Though he does put more effort in conversing with those he is truly close with and deep down cares for them surreptitiously. He is also has the honest trait of being a man of his word, never taking back the promises that he would give to those who were to ask for his help. He has voiced intentions of making friends, but his emotionless attitude tends to leave him exempted from such matters. However, he has formed associations with others and seems to leave an impact on them. His rivalry with Hachiman was quite the given due to the very similar traits that the two would tend to share, much to the interest and amusement of many who worked at the SCP Foundation. He is also someone who does not like to draw attention to himself, letting others take the credit and remain in the shadows. There are quite darker traits to his character, one that would relate to his mysterious past which is known to Kyousuke, Hachiman, Councilman Walker, and a few others, but overall, he's a good person, albeit not unwilling to use the art of manipulation when absolutely necessary.
He also has a girlfriend by the name of Kei Karuizawa who is a second-year student of Advanced Nurturing High School. She is a prominent figure in the class and is considered to be the girl's leader of Class D. Quite the interesting woman, Kyousuke and Hachiman thought that one time when they first met her.
"Pleasures all ours, Ayanokōji-san," Kyousuke smiled.
Kiyotaka made a nod, as he, Kyousuke, and Hachiman were looking through multiple directions, seeing many Joker Gang members teleporting to their location, with modified AK-47 assault rifles on the ready, opening fire with no hesitation, which was dodged instantly by the three agents, eventually employing the use of quick takedowns through the hands, feet, and other exposed vital weaknesses, eventually resulting in the dislocation and cracking of bones on the enemy's part.
"Oooh, now... that's just brutal...," Gennosuke Miura responded in grimace, wincing in slight sympathy, seeing his fellow club member, Kyousuke Kousaka delivering an flipping maneuver attack on one of the criminals that sends him violently to the ground in a thump.
"HIkigaya-kun...," Yukino muttered, sporting a shocked expression as she and many others who were sporting the same shocked expressions as they were could not help but take notice on the decisive power blows that Hachiman would deliver upon the criminals, striking them down with ease and not letting them getting up for a single instant, with one of said gang members getting elbow punched to the face.
Was this really Kyousuke Kousaka? Was this really Hachiman Hikigaya? How were they fighting like this? How were they doing all of these things that seem to have come from those old Chinese martial arts movies that they would sometimes watch in their leisure? Why were they so vastly different compared to how they would usually know them in daily life?
Many bewildered and concerned expressions were being thought about by Kirino, Yukino, and their respective groups.
Kyousuke Kousaka and Hachiman Hikigaya were now acting so vastly different compared to how they would know them. Both of them would be considered to be just your average high school students, with the former being laid back, aims to live a normal life, and the average grades that accompanies it, while the latter was very cynical and stoic to the point of being considered the Lone Wolf of Sobu High School, although surprisingly maintaining a cool atmosphere that was not cringe worthy. That was them in their mind. Not having special skills that could knock out grown men to the point of submission.
There was some part in their minds that was whispering "Do they even know them at all?" and couldn't help but grimace at such a thought.
And while this battle was happening from the screen...
"Oracle, Clairvoyant," Night Baron called out, much to the surprise of Kirino, Yukino, and their respective groups as they all see him walking towards Oracle and Clairvoyant, sporting a serious expression.
"Night Baron? Shouldn't you be with Megumi-san?," Clairvoyant asked, sporting a concerned expression.
"It's alright. Gumball and Finn are guarding her as we speak," Night Baron reassured. "In any case, what seems to be happening on the ground so far?"
"Well things have been getting pretty easy for everyone on the ground since you and a few others had managed to take out most of the Joker lieutenants. Still no sign of the Dee Dee sisters though," Oracle explained, typing from her advance keyboard.
"It's quite possible that they made themselves scarce after we've successfully captured their fellow lieutenants," Clairvoyant proposed, ysing her headphones to monitor the radio frequencies.
"Possibly," Night Baron nodded in agreement, before eventually taking notice of Kirino, Yukino, and many others that were now looking at him, with some tilting, with some being bewildered, with some being at awe, and other things that are being acted out of their given personalities.
"Oi, Hayato," Kakeru Tobe whispered towards Hayato Hayama. "Just who the heck is this kid?"
"You're asking me?," Hayato asked, raising an eyebrow, not having any clue as much as anyone.
"Um... Umm," Rumi Tsurumi hesitatingly called out to Night Baron who took notice of her hesitant expression as she slowly draws near to him. "T...Thank you for saving us, Mr...?"
Night Baron could only smile simply, saying. "Night Baron. Call me Night Baron. And you must be Tsurumi Rumi-chan, right?"
"U...Umm," Rumi Tsurumi slightly blushed while nodding, before eventually getting a little confused. "Wa-Wait a minute? How did..."
"How did I know your name? Simple. Hachiman-san told me," Night Baron simply answered before turning his attention towards Kirino, Yukino, and their respective groups who were sporting surprised expressions. "Same answer goes for all of you really. Him and Kyousuke-san told me all about you from time to time."
"They did?," Kirino muttered, sporting a concerned expression.
Night Baron made a confirming nod.
"Guys..." Oracle called out as she types from the advance keyboard, to which Night Baron, Clairvoyant, and many others took notice. "You might want to see this..."
And at that moment, a view screen was being shown to all of them, seeing from the visual scanners on what appeared to be five concrete rebar statues with traces of Krylon brand spray paint that were being contained in the cargo of the shipping truck that is about to be driven by a Joker Gang member from part of the docks. Many Joker Gang members were guarding the truck, with modified AK-47 assault rifles on stand-by.
"Eh? Statues?," Yui muttered, tilting her head as she saw the screens.
"..." Night Baron, Clairvoyant, Shizuka, Komachi, and many other personnel were now widening their eyes out, recognizing the imminent threat that must not be allowed to escape and dealt with extreme prejudice.
"Oracle, teleport me to that location, now!," Night Baron exclaimed in alarm.
"Already on it," Oracle said, typing a few keys that would initiate automatic transport to the designated location.
And at that moment, much to the surprise of Kirino, Yukino, and their respective groups, multiple particles would begin to envelop Night Baron, automatically whisking him away towards the location that were the truck was. Night Baron was right above the hood of the truck, much to the shock of the Joker Gang member who was instantly dragged out of the front window and knocked out by a strong punch to the face, sending him hurling towards the ground.
"What the hell!," one of the Joker Gang members exclaimed, shocked at the fact that their fellow gang member was suddenly dragged out of the truck and knocked out by Night Baron. He and the rest of his fellow gang members were now aiming their sights at Night Baron, opening a continuous barrage of laser fire, which was dodge with grace by Night Baron, jumping out of the hood and throwing a couple of boomerangs that managed to penetrate the rifles, producing electric shocks that knocked out a few of the gang members.
Night Baron made his landing, firing monofilament wires from his wrists and making a kicking attack maneuver that impacted from one gang member's chest which sends him towards two other gang members, knocking them all to the ground in a thump. As Night Baron made his landing, he notices more Joker Gang members aiming their rifles onto him, which was eventually dodged by Night Baron as he begins to sprint fast, flipping and rolling from one place to another, performing takedowns that range with mostly the lower regions of the body such as the feet and the legs, with some takedowns involving a precise hit to the head and a few flip over attacks that sends some to the ground in a thump. At the end of it all, all of the Joker Gang members were suddenly taken care of, with a few broken bones along the way.
"Oracle, Clairvoyant, I've secured the area. I would need you to call in the shock troopers towards my present location in order to do a proper containment of SCP-173. Tell them that Priority Red is in full effect," Night Baron spoke from the comm-channel.
"Already on their way, Night Baron," Oracle said from the comm-channels.
And at that moment, multiple clone soldiers wearing Phase III white armor and helmet with T-shaped visors, with red color markings, armed with MA5D Individual Combat Weapon System staser rilfes, would eventually teleport to Night Baron's location, with one of them, sporting red colored macrobinoculars on top of his helmet which connects to the upper part of his T-shaped visor. now presently saluting him immediately out of respect.
"Sir, Commander Seigi, reporting for duty sir," he said, saluting.
Night Baron nodded before making gestures to move out, with him commanding the troops to handle the monsters that are contained at the cargo of the truck. Many of the clone shock troopers would aim their rifles to the cargo, using one of the functions of their rifle which was the spell support processor, firing a specific type of spell that would pass from inside the cargo and aimed precisely at the SCP-173, killing all five of them by molecular combustion.
And while this was happening, Kirino, Yukino, and the rest of the people from their respective groups couldn't help but remain at awe at Night Baron as they recently just watched him take down multiple armed gang members with seeming ease through the use of fast pace movement and counterattacks, attacking from the vital areas and managing to flip some of the gang members to the floor, knocking them down unconsciously.
"Woah, that Night-whatever-he's-called kid is awesome," Tobe raised both of his fists to his front, sporting an awed expression with stars in his eyes.
"Wow...," Hinata, Tamaki, and Keika mutter in awe, seemingly glued to the screen as they saw Night Baron, seemingly no more than just a kid in appearance, take down the criminals with seeming ease, as if they were seeing an actual real life superhero taking down gang members.
After the brutal takedowns, Kirino, Yukino, and the rest of the people from their respective groups were now seeing the clone shock troopers suddenly appearing out of nowhere as they were called in by Oracle. And in their close inspection of the troops, many couldn't help but sport shocked expressions, seemingly recognizing them from their mere armor.
"Are those... who I think they are...?," Kirino, sporting an expression of disbelief and surprise, pointed towards the screen where the clone shock troopers were shown.
"No way...," Saori muttered in disbelief and shock.
"No freakin way!," Zaimokuza sported an excited expression, recognizing them from anywhere. "The actual clone troopers from Star Wars! Please tell me I'm not dreaming Hiratsuka-sensei!," he said, turning towards Shizuka.
"(Sigh). No, Zaimokuza, you're not dreaming," Shizuka couldn't help but answer with an exasperated sigh, pinching her eyes out.
"Ah...Ahehehehehe," Komachi could only sweatdropped and softly laugh in exasperation, with her right hand rubbing her hair. "To be fair, sensei, I seem to remember getting all excited as well the moment I met the clones and found out that Star Wars was actually real."
"Now wait, hold up! Star Wars is real!," Ōoka exclaimed in shock, raising both of his hands in disbelief.
"You've gotta be kidding me!," Yamato exclaimed in shock.
"Did that! I just! I don't! Uggh! Oh forget it!," Yumiko cried out in exasperation, with both of her hands grabbing her blonde hair in wild fashion, not knowing what was real anymore.
"Night Baron, it's not over yet," Oracle spoke from the comm-channel, typing a few keys that would show a thorough scan of a couple of areas throughout the docks where possible signatures of SCP-173 are located. "Scanners indicated that multiple reddish-brown substances of SCP-173 have been spotted all over the docks. They appear to be contained in the cargo area of the delivery trucks. I've given you and the clones the known locations on where to find them. All of you would need to intercept all of these trucks, take out the gang members, and neutralize every single one of these monsters."
"Copy that, Oracle, I've just received the information from my glasses," Night Baron nodded as he looked from within his glasses, seeing the map of the docks and the red arrows that represent the locations where he and his men could find SCP-173. He would eventually grab his grappling gun. "You heard her, men. Let's get to work," he said, firing his grapnel gun towards one side of the upper metal shipping containers, drawing him instantly above as his cape would provide him to hover from the skies due to current that is now pushing him.
"Yes sir," Commander Seigi nodded, receiving the information that Oracle had provided to him and to his men via his visor, turning towards his men. "You've heard the general, boys, it's time to move out," he said as he and many other clone shock troopers were activating their advance jetpacks and fly towards the skies, with the commander and some of the men following their general while the others would head towards the other locations where the
Night Baron was now hovering the skies, steering himself towards the nearest destination where one of the delivery trucks are located. By the time he reaches the location from a few meters, he would immediately cloak himself, activating one of the functions of his suits which maintains invisibility. The Joker Gang members that were stationed there managed to catch a glimpse of the clone commander and many clone shock troopers heading towards their location.
"Holy shit, we've got company!," one of the gang members exclaimed, as he and the rest were now aiming their modified AK-47 assault rifles at the clones, producing red colored beams that were fired upon the clones who have now taken evasive maneuvers while firing their respective rifles upon the enemy, using the stun function to knock them all out.
And while the men were providing the distraction, Night Baron would make a quiet graceful landing towards the roof of the cargo, throwing a couple of invisible boomerangs that were precisely aimed towards the ground where many of the Joker Gang members were located, producing electrical shocks from the ground that managed to knock out the Joker Gang members to the point of unconsciousness.
Night Baron would begin to deactivate the cloaking function of his suit while sprinting towards the front of the truck, landing at the hood, spotting a Joker Gang member that was at the driver's seat, instantly being surprised at the fact that Night Baron was there.
"Wh-"
And that was the only word that came out of the gang member's mouth before getting punched in the face and get dragged out of the truck by Night Baron, landing towards the ground in a thump.
With the gang members dealt with, many of the clone shock troopers would begin to encircle around the cargo, aiming their rifles in order to once again fire a specific spell that kills off many of the SCP-173 via molecular combustion.
And this was only happening from one side of the area where in other parts of the area, the clones have successfully managed to knock out all of the Joker Gang members and neutralize the SCP-173 from within their containers without breaking a sweat.
But the battle was far from over just yet.
"This is Foxtrot 234, we've taken care of the statues."
"This is Foxtrot 156, areas clear from the south."
"This is Foxtrot 203, we've secured the perimeter."
And as each designated platoon had managed to report back in from the comm-channels, Shizuka could only narrow her eyes and crossed her arms.
"This seems all too easy," she muttered in concern. "I don't like it."
"That makes two of us, Hiratsuka-sensei," Oracle muttered gravely, with her eyes narrowed at each screen.

After an hour later, many countless members of the Joker Gang along with their lieutenants with the exception of the Dee Dee sisters who could not be found were now being filed off to multiple prison transporters, with the Joker Gang being shipped either to the DC Universe-Prime or to the DC Universe-12, sending them to their universe's version of Neo-Blackgate Prison.
Both versions of Blackgate are now a heavily fortified prison that is under SCP Foundation control, with many assigned SCP Foundation personnel being under the command of the Batman's of these respective universes, providing them with the official reports surrounding said penitentiaries. Due to being under SCP Foundation control, prison breakouts in these facilities are quite rare to happen, although they tend to happen from time to time, especially when it comes to those connected to the name of the Joker.
As of this moment, both Kyousuke, Hachiman, Taishi, Kouhei, Kiyotaka, Night Baron, and Spider-Man were observing the load out of the prisoners, sporting serious expressions on their faces.
"This is almost too easy," Hachiman muttered in concern, with arms crossed.
"I agree," Night Baron narrowed his eyes, with both hands in his inner pockets. "A little too easy... The fact that we managed to capture most of the lieutenants without breaking a sweat is very concerning. Then there's the fact that the Dee Dee sisters are still unaccounted for."
"Something tells me that a prison breakout is a major probability at this point and more people would no doubt die in said prison breakout," Hachiman muttered darkly.
"Geez, partner, no need to get all dark on me," Kyousuke said with a sad understanding smile.
"I'm just being the realist here, partner," Hachiman clarified. "We all know just how much of a cliche prison breakouts tend to be when it comes to the Joker Gang. Not to mention the fact that the Dee Dee's are still loose which means that we are going to need multiple CSTs and MTFs to be stationed throughout the entire prison complexes at all times. If my hunch is right and it usually is, there's no doubt in my mind that this was just the calm before the storm."
"And we'd be ready for said storm," Spider-Man replied seriously, as he and the rest were nodding in determination.
"Speaking of which, Hikigaya, Kousaka, Kawasaki, Akagi," Kiyotaka spoke, raising his eyebrow. "Shouldn't you three be heading back to your friends and family by now? I'm sure that you all would have a lot to talk about considering the fact that they were probably watching our fights from the control room. That and Hiratsuka-sensei must be having her hands full right about now in dealing with them so you might want to help her out."
Hachiman, Kyousuke, Taishi, and Kouhei all sighed heavily, knowing exactly on what he was referring too.
"Oh believe me, Ayanokoji, we know all too well," Kouhei pinched his eyes out.

"..."
Kirino Kousaka, Yukino Yukinoshita, and many others from their respective groups were now looking from the left side, spotting Kyousuke Kousaka, Hachiman Hikigaya, Taishi Kawasaki, Kouhei Akagi, and Night Baron instantly teleporting to their location. Many expressions were ranged from curious, awe, concern, angry born out of worry, and many other things in the emotional spectrum for Kirino, Yukino, and many others from their respective groups. Night Baron was simply stepping from the side and head towards Clairvoyant's position, being nearby towards Shizuka Hiratsuka, Komachi Hikigaya, and Oracle.
They were now all gathered at a futuristic hallway at this very moment in time. And in this particular moment crept an uneasy silence and staring that is apparent to everyone which lasted for a minute. And in that minute, Kyousuke, Hachiman, Taishi, and Kouhei would all begin to remove their shades and put it back to their inner shirt pockets. Then...
"Oniichan!," Keika exclaimed, sprinting towards Taishi in order to give him a hug that was born out of worry, to which the latter could only accept with sad smile.
"Taishi, what the hell were you doing back there?," Saki Kawasaki asked, sporting an expression of anger born out of worry as she marched towards their brother.
"Alright oniichan, spill, just what was that just now?!," Sena Akagi rushed excitedly towards Kouhei, demanding an answer.
"You...," Kirino muttered, sporting a glaring expression, slowly marching towards Kyousuke. "You all have a lot of explaining to do."
"That's right, Hiki!," Yui exclaimed, marching towards Hachiman. "How on earth did you all do what you just did back there?
Hachiman nodded seriously. "We know that you and everyone else have a lot of questions."
"And we will explain everything down to the least detail as best as we can which is why you're all going to need to come with us back to base since it would be easier to explain everything there," Kyousuke continued.
"Base?," Yukino asked, sporting a curious expression.
The four agents would begin to look at Shizuka, giving her a nod, to which Shizuka made a nod of her own as she begins to press a button from her wristwatch, materializing a portal that reveals a facility from the other side, much to the surprise of Kirino, Yukino, and the rest of their respective groups.
"Eh?," both Kirino and Yukino muttered, seeing the portal that was revealing a large facility from the other side.
"Everyone, if you were to please follow us," Kyousuke said.
And at that moment, Kyousuke, Hachiman, Taishi, Kouhei, and Night Baron would begin to walk towards the portal, with everyone else eventually following their lead as the portal closed behind them. And what Kirino, Yukino, and their respective groups saw was...
A very large futuristic hallway with wide open spaces that has many types of individuals walking about from within the white neon colored corridors that have mathematical geometric designs put into the walls. And many of these individuals were not human.
Many people who were wearing the same type of black business suits as Kyousuke, Hachiman, Taishi, and Kouhei who were greeting them with familiarity such as "Welcome back, fellow agents," or "Yo, Eight-Man! What's up dawg!," or "Nice work on taking care of those low lives back at the docks," or "The Joker Gang didn't know what hit them huh?," or "You guys rock!," among other comments and talks.
Kirino, Yukino, and the rest of their respective groups were quite surprised at the amount of positivity that was emitted by everyone, showers of praise and the clapping of hands were directed specifically towards Kyousuke, Hachiman, and Night Baron. Quite odd and out of the norm considering the fact that Kyousuke and Hachiman weren't this popular back in their respective schools in their own worlds. Hell, they could even see beautiful women from the age groups of about somewhere in the pre-teens to young adults, humans and non-humans, who were showering praises and saluting Kyousuke and Hachiman out of respect and formality, much to the surprise, shock, and jealousy of some such as Kirino, Kuroneko, Yukino, Yui, and many others. And yet even another reason to ask this question "Do they even know them at all?" And in their journey, they saw many creatures simply walking from many directions just like your ordinary average citizen. They saw what appeared to be actual robots that were of varying designs. They saw what appeared to be...
"Hi there," the white translucent figure called out so suddenly, waving his translucent hand and smiled kindly while floating in mid-air.
"Kyahhhh! G-G-Ghost!," Ayase exclaim in fright, immediately embracing Kirino, pointing at the ghost-like figure that was coming towards them, with many sporting frightened expressions, especially the women among the group who were hurdling around each other, shaking and trembling.
"W-W-What the hell!," Gennosuke Miura exclaimed in fright and surprise.
Yukino and Yui were hugging each other, sporting frightened expressions as the ghost-like figure. Those in the know such as Shizuka, Komachi, Oracle, Clairvoyant and many others from the background were simply giggling softly, amused at the expressions that Kirino, Yukino, and the others were now sporting.
"Hmm?," Kyousuke, Hachiman, Taishi, Kouhei, and Night Baron looked towards the ghost-like figure that was now sporting a sad and let down expression due to the frightened expressions that he was seeing, recognizing him instantly.
"Oh Casper, it's just you," Hachiman deadpanned, with both of his hands to his pockets.
"Everyone, don't be afraid, he won't hurt you," Kyousuke reassured with a smile. "He may be a ghost but he's still a friendly ghost," he looks back at Casper." Casper, if you were to do the honors."
Casper nodded happily, beginning his introduction. "Hi everyone. I'm Casper the Friendly Ghost. As the Japanese would say, I'll be under your care and I hope we can get along," he said, bowing his head down out of respect while at mid-air.
Kirino, Yukino, and everyone else from their respective groups were calming down little by little, inspecting the friendly ghost with more curious and less fearful eyes. After that surprising and less intended meeting, Kirino, Yukino, and many others from their respective groups were quite shocked and surprised at the fact that ghosts exists according to the explanation of Kyousuke, Hachiman, Taishi, and many of the others in the know, much to their horror and dread, and the fact that there were many different types of ghosts were not really helping the matter except for the fact that Casper seems to be one of the more friendly types. However, with time, Kirino, Yukino, and many others from their respective groups could seemingly get along better with Casper after he decided to share stories about his adventures in his world. Ones that range from his three uncles to whom Hachiman would consider as the three idiotic bone heads to the usual people he encountered throughout the years.
After said meeting had passed by, Kyousuke, Hachiman, Taishi, Kouhei, and Night Baron were now leading the groups to a large hallway that has a very large blast door. The three agents and Night Baron stopped in turn, which made everyone stopped, with the automatic security system kicking in, scanning their biodata signatures.
RECOGNIZED:
GENERAL KYOUSUKE KOUSAKA
GENERAL HACHIMAN HIKIGAYA
GENERAL KOUHEI AKAGI
COMMANDER TAISHI KAWASAKI
NIGHT BARON II
SUPERVISOR SHIZUKA HIRATSUKA
As soon as the biodata scan was completed, the blast door opens, revealing another hallway that was quite large, with white neon lighting colors to grace the background. And as soon as the blast door was opened, they resume their walk, with Kirino, Yukino, and their respective groups looking at all of this with awe, especially taking notice of the giant one eyed creatures that were walking from one side of the window corridor who were actually aliens not native to this universe and were simply visiting the base as part of inspection protocols according to both Kyousuke and Hachiman's explanations on the matter.
Aliens...?! Even now, they can't even seem to get over such a fact, with Yumiko even exasperatedly grabbing her hair and trying to make sense of all of this, with Hayato and some others trying her best to calm her down. Then there's the fact that these giant one eyed creatures were not the only aliens, seeing what appeared to be multiple numbers of species all buzzling along from many sides of the corridors that seem to be likened to that of Grand Central Terminal, only much larger in appearances, with alien ships on stand-by, much to the excitement of many on Kirino and Yukino's respective groups such as Gennosuke Miura and Yoshiteru Zaimokuza.
At this point, more surprises kept awaiting them all as a simple white door was present somewhere to the right, and it was one where Kyousuke, Hachiman, Taishi, Kouhei, and Night Baron all turned around, sporting serious no-nonsense expressions that managed to keep Kirino, Yukino, and many others from their respective groups pay close attention as the atmosphere became serious.
Something about the eyes of the four agents and the blank expression of Night Baron told them that whatever lies through that door is something where they would need to show proper common courtesy and respect, one that they could not help but wonder with trepidation and sweatdropping fashion.
After a moment of silence and a stare, Kyousuke would eventually make his way towards the door, holding the doorknob which scans his biodata automatically as he opens the door, revealing a simple office and table, with someone sitting on an office chair with his back turned from said office table, watching the holographic screen that was showing multiple reports surrounding the Joker Gang, reviewing them seriously.
This someone from the office chair eventually took notice of Kyousuke, Hachiman, Taishi, Kouhei, and Shizuka were saluting this someone out of respect and proper decorum, something that was instantly noticed by Kirino, Yukino, and everyone from their respective groups.
"Sir," Kyousuke begins to salute this someone with respect.
This someone would eventually turn his office chair around, revealing an old gray haired man who wore a black business suit which is composed of a white dress shirt, black jacket, black pants, black underwear, black tie, black socks, and black leather shoes.
"At ease Gentlemen, Supervisor Hiratsuka, Night Baron," this someone spoke with professionalism and with a nod, with said agents complying as they begin to put their hands down, with Night Baron giving this someone a respectful nod in return.
And as Kirino, Yukino, and many individuals from their respective groups could only sport surprised and bewildered expressions, feeling a familiarity in the voice and in the person whose overall appearance and demeanor reminded them of...
"H-Harrison... Ford...?," Zaimokuza uttered bewilderingly.
"(Facepalm)," both Kyousuke and Hachiman could only roll their eyes out, with Taishi and Kouhei sweatdropping in soft exasperated laughter, while Shizuka was pinching her eyes out, having heard of that little slip up by more times than they could count.
The Harrison Ford lookalike could only smirk in amusement, thinking "That never really get's old no matter how much time passes," while saying. "Not really kid. Close but that's not my name. My name is Councilman Max Walker - O5-12. And as to how I look just like Harrison Ford, let me assure you that it's simply just a matter of the multiverse theory to consider and the coincidences ascribed to it."
"Mu-Multiverse theory!," Zaimokuza exclaimed loudly, much to the annoyance and eye-rolling of Hachiman, the sighing of Kyousuke and Shizuka, and the sweatdropped exasperated laughter of Taishi and Kouhei. "The multiverse is real!"
"Multi...verse? What's that suppose to mean?," Yumiko could only raise an eyebrow, confused by such terminology.
"That would take quite the long explanation, Yumiko Miura-san," Councilman Walker said in a professional tone, much to the surprise of Yumiko and the rest of those not in the know. "And as to how I know your name which include everyone else that came with you, well, for one, there's almost nothing that I don't know and it's usually provided for by reliable sources such as the two agents that are now present in this room for example," indicating Kyousuke and Hachiman. "To which reminds me," he begins to sport a serious expression, one that managed to capture the attention of Kirino, Yukino, and everyone from their respective groups. "We're going to have to talk about that little tidbit once introductions are in order."
Insert Song: End
Somewhere in the large white neon colored hallways, one that was being passed by many individuals, both humans and non-humans, while waiting for the eventual set-up and explanations that is about take place, the following conversations of introductory nature were taking place.
"Ugh, I can't believe Councilman Walker had just put me in charge of handling crowd control," Kouhei Akagi muttered, sporting an exasperated, grimaced expression, being asked by Councilman Walker to keep an eye on the visitors. That and he was the one put in charge of handling official introductions.
"Speaking of which, we haven't had a chance to introduce ourselves since a lot of these strange things have happened to us, I'm Kousaka Kirino," Kirino Kousaka introduced herself with a smile, raising her right hand towards Yukino Yukinoshita in order to do a proper introduction. with Ayase Aragaki, Kanako Kurusu, Kuroneko, Saori Makashima, and many others standing right near to her, sporting smiling expressions, introducing themselves in turn.
"I'm Yukinoshita Yukino, pleasure to meet you, Kousaka-san," Yukino simply said with a nod, simply accepting the offered hand shake by raising her own right hand in order to do the proper handshake, with Yui Yuigahama, Isshiki Iroha, Komachi Hikigaya, and many others standing right near to her, sporting smiling expressions, introducing themselves in turn.
"I'm Aragaki Ayase, please to meet you," Ayase introduce herself with a smile.
"Peace," Kanako made a peace sign and a confident smile and pose. "I'm Kurusu Kanako."
"And I am her older sister, Kurusu Kanata, please to meet you all," Kanata said with a smile.
"I'm Kuroneko. My real name is Gokou Ruri, but I usually go by Kuroneko whenever possible," Kuroneko introduced herself with a smile, before gesturing to her two younger sisters who were standing beside her. "These on the other hand are my younger sisters. Gokou Hinata and Gokou Tamaki."
"Hello," both Hinata Gokou and Tamaki Gokou said with a smile.
"I'm Makishima Saori, it's a pleasure to meet you," Saori introduce herself with a polite smile and bow.
"And I'm her older sister, Makishima Kaori," Kaori introduce herself with a confident smirk, with a hand placed to her waist.
"I'm Bridget Evans, pleased to meet you all," Bridget Evans introduce herself with a smile.
"I'm Ria Hagry, pleasure to meet you all," Ria Hagry introduce herself with a confident smile.
"I'm Tamura Manami," Manami introduced herself with a smile, before gesturing to her younger brother who were standing beside her. "And this is my younger brother, Tamura Iwao."
"What's up!," Iwao Tamura made a peace sign and a confident grin.
"I'm Sanada Shinya, please to meet you," Shinya Sanada introduce himself with a smile.
"And my name is Hoshino Kirara," Kirara Hoshino introduced herself with a smile, before gesturing to her younger sister who was standing right beside her. "And this one is Hoshino Kurara, my younger sister."
"Pleased to meet you all," Kurara Hoshino introduced herself with a smile and a wave.
"I'm Sakurai Akimi, please to meet you all," Akimi Sakurai greeted with a smile, with one hand placed to her waist.
"I-I-I'm Kakei Sayaka," Sayaka Kakei mutttered softly, bowing her head in embarrassment.
"I'm Yuigamaha Yui, it's nice to meet you all," Yui said cheerfully.
"I'm Isshiki Iroha, Student Council President of Sobu High School, nice to meet you all as well," Iroha said with a cheeky confident smile.
"I'm Shiromeguri Meguri, Former Student Council President of Sobu High School, nice to meet you all as well," Meguri Shiromeguri said with a cheerful smile, with both hands join together.
"I'm Kawasaki Saki," Saki introduced herself with a smile, before gesturing to her younger sister that was standing right beside her. "And this is Kawasaki Keika, my little sister."
"Hello everyone," Keika said with a wave and a smile.
"I'm Hikigaya Komachi, the little sister to the stupid dimwitted scum-niichan Hachiman, the partner of Kirino-chan's brother, Kyousuke-kun, whose currently with him, Walker-ojisan, Hiratsuka-sensei, and a few others for a few moments before the official start to proper explanations," she introduced with a contrite expression, with a smile.
"Yes, I suppose we'd have to ask for a couple of explanations for that after the introductions are finished, Komachi-san," Yukino looked towards Komachi with a pointed expression and a smile of humor.
"I know, I know, and it would be talked about a few minutes later after this," Komachi place both hands together with a contrite expression. "But honestly, it wasn't really my place to tell any of you the truth since I'd figure that was oniichan's job and responsibility to do so since he's the secret agent, not me, and that I couldn't exactly say anything without breaching confidentiality, but then this incident happened."
"It's alright, Komachi-chan, we understand," Yui waved her hand, speaking in a reassuring tone.
"If the sisters are going to introduce themselves, then I suppose I would introduce myself as well," Haruno Yukinoshita spoke up with a smile. "I'm Yukinoshita Haruno, Yukino-chan's older sister."
"I'm Yamato," Yamato said with a smile.
"And I'm Ooka," Ooka said with a smile.
"My name is Hayama Hayato," Hayato introduced himself with a smile. "I hope we can all get along."
"Miura Yumiko, please to meet you," Yumiko simply said with a nod and a smile.
"And I'm Zaimokuza Yoshiteru, the Blademaster General," Zaimokuza said, posing with both raised cross hands.
"Nobody cares about the last part, and don't try to introduce yourself to everyone in the most weirdest way possible without poisoning our sanity!," Yumiko exclaimed in annoyance, with both hands placed to her waist, much to the downer expression of Zaimokuza and the laughter of everyone.
"My name is Totsuka Saika," Saika Totsuka said with a smile.
"And my name is Tobe Kakeru," Kakeru Tobe said with a smile.
"M-My name is Sagami Minami," Minami Sagami spoke softly, making a slow nod.
"My name is Orimoto Kaori, please to meet you all," Kaori Orimoto said rather energetically.
"M-My name is Tsurumi Rumi," Rumi Tsurumi introduced herself softly.
"And my name is Miura Gennosuke, President of the Games Research Club," Gennosuke Miura introduce himself with a confident smile.
"And my name is Makabe Kaede, Assistant to the President of the Games Research Club," Kaede Makabe introduced himself with a smile.
"My name is Satoshi Kusakabe, member of the Games Research Club," spoke one of the unnamed twins, introducing himself with a smile.
"And my name is Masato Kusakabe, member of the Games Research Club, spoke the other of the unnamed twins, introducing himself with a smile.
"My name is Makagami Kouki," Kouki Makagami introduced himself politely with a smile.
"My name is Akagi Kouhei, Secret Agent and best friend of Kyousuke Kousaka," Kouhei Akagi introduced himself, before gesturing to his sister that was standing beside him. "And this cute girl is my little sister, Akagi Sena."
"Hello everyone!," Sena Akagi introduced herself energetically with a smile. "I am Akagi Sena, also a member of the Games Research Club, a happy fan of yaoi and doujinshi!"
"Oh! A fellow glasses girl of culture I see! My name is Ebina Hina, a fellow fan of yaoi and doujinshi!," Hina Ebina spoke excitedly while touching the bridge of her glasses.
"Really!," Sena excitedly look towards Hina. "Then let's get along and spread the good news of yaoi and doujinshi everywhere!"
"I agree, let's get along," Hina said rather excitedly.
"Oh dear god... Two of them!"
That was the thought of almost everyone, especially Kouhei who couldn't help but grimace, as they looked on the two yaoi fan girls in horror and realization, with the all of the males looking at each other, hoping against hope that these two won't get any funny ideas.
Kirino Kousaka, Yukino Yukinoshita, and all of the people that came with them due to the mysterious phenomena that transported them from their own universes to the Universe of Night Baron were now presently on their respective seats, inside of a very large classroom that seem to be the size of a gymnasium if not more so. Agent Kyousuke Kousaka, Agent Hachiman Hikigaya, Agent Taishi Kawasaki, Agent Kouhei Akagi, Supervisor Shizuka Hiratsuka, Night Baron, Clairvoyant, and Oracle were simply at the side of the classroom. Holographic projectors are now on the stand-by, ready to be activated at a moment's notice by the remote that was being held by Councilman Max Walker - O5-12, pressing a few buttons that made the classroom turned dark, much to the curiosity of the crowd.
After a few moments, a blink occurred, and much to the wonder of the crowd, especially among the children of the group such as Keika Kawasaki, Hinata Gokou, and Tamaki Gokou, seeing the entire room suddenly covered in what appeared to be vast complex shapes of constellations, nebulas, and other space phenomenon, the likes of twinkling stars of many seeming colors in the ever present night sky that stays in harmony and balance, seemingly at peace as the movement. What's strange is the fact that these complex shapes were not that of galaxies but of a very different kind due to the complexity surrounding them.
Everyone couldn't help but remain at awe at such divine beauty and perfection that seems to be projected all around them, and from one side of the area, Kyousuke and Hachiman were watching in wonder. For even despite everything, there was one thing that they could not truly deny from their worn out and weathered hearts. That the multiverse was always so beautiful to look at when seen from new perspectives.
"Before I start explaining, I wanted to ask all of you to ponder this basic question which would no doubt be known to people like Zaimokuza Yoshiteru-kun due to the reaction that he had just had when he heard the word "multiverse theory" not a few moments ago. And speaking of which, Zaimokuza-kun, if you wouldn't mind?," Councilman Walker gestured to Zaimokuza to share his knowledge regarding the multiverse.
"R-Right!," Zaimokuza nodded, standing up from his seat. "I don't really know that much about it if I were to be honest, but based on what I've read from all of the light novels, manga, anime, and other fictional literature, the multiverse theory essentially suggests that each decision that we make creates a different universe, like for example, if in one universe, I chose to buy the latest manga edition back at Akihabara, and in another universe, I missed my chance to buy the latest manga edition back at Akihabara, something like that," he rubbed his head at the last part, sporting an embarrassed expression due to not having enough understanding to continue, sitting down from his seat.
"That, Zaimokuza-kun, is what is properly called the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics, Level III in Max Tegmark's classification schemes. But don't be so hasty to think that this is all that the multiverse has to offer," Councilman Walker explained, turning towards Shizuka. "Supervisor Hiratsuka, if you wouldn't mind?"
"Yes sir," Shizuka nodded, stepping forward, with Councilman Walker pressing a few buttons on the remote in order to materialize a hovering blackboard that managed to surprise the audience. "To get an idea of the multiverse, let's start with the basics," she said, drawing out a chalk from her lab coat pocket. "Think of the universe for a moment as having three additional directions. Paraward, Alterward, and Otherward, all at right angles to the ones you know such length, breadth, width and time. This is merely a tremendous oversimplification, but it may help you all to at least get a basic idea of what we are trying to talk about, getting me so far," she asked while writing the necessary words from the hovering blackboard, which was answered with a nod by Kirino, Yukino, and most of their respective groups except for some of the children in the groups who could only tilt in confusion.
"Now, the first thing we will discussed is the Paraward. In this type of universe, we find a sheath of histories which are either eternally separate from our own anchored time or which diverge and return to it so far in the past, or so far in the future, as to be – functionally – eternally separate from it. The physical laws of these universes are identical to ours, but all else is different. We call these paraward space-time entities 'parallel worlds'. Now let's move on to the next example which is the Alterward. In this type of universe, we find those histories which divert, at crucial or innocuous moments alike, from ours. Here are the worlds where a toe goes unstubbed, or a vital battle is lost, where the five hundred and eleventh hair on a sloth in the forest has gone grey in one world, and white in another. Many of these rejoin the main anchored universe as their micro-changes fall away into quantum uncertainty. When the million sloths are dead and decomposing, what effect will the colour of one hair have had? A few or in this case, the mathematics contains several high order infinities, so the number itself may be high, ergo they do not appear to rejoin, either eternally leading outside the 'time-space' horizon approachable by a normal time-ship - a space ship and a time machine all in one to put it simply, and before you all asked, yes, time travel exists, or curving back in closed loops longer than the normal time-ships can reach, beyond the futures one can access. We call these alterward space-time entities 'alternate worlds'. To simply differentiate between Paraward and Alterward, the former is just a way of talking about extreme alternates, and the latter is just a way of talking about probability bundle universes. Then there is the last thing that needs to be discussed which is the Otherward. In this type of universe, the physical and metaphysical laws are completely different, being outside of the usual norm. This type of universe is held on by separate 'branes' in hyperspace, outside the sheath that contains the Paraward and Alterward components of our universe. To put it blunty, this type of universe lies outside our own backyard as it were. You all following me so far?," she asked.
Many of those who were seated were sporting pondering expressions, with many looking to each other with expressions denoting their given personalities, with Iroha Isshiki simply nodding slowly, saying. "Yes, sensei, we somewhat understand so far. Basically, Paraward are just parallel worlds that are completely separate from the actual history that we know, Alterward are just alternate worlds where everything we do is possible in principle, and Otherward is just outside of the box so to speak, not connected to our world whatsoever."
"Yes, Isshiki, that's correct," Shizuka said with a nod, sporting an impressed smile at the simple answer.
"Hmph, as expected of my sly kouhai, she's much more insightful than one gives her credit for, which isn't really all that surprising considering that she is Sobu High School's Student Council President," Hachiman thought with an inward positive smirk, with eyes closed and with arms crossed.
"Now then, now that all of you got the basics right, it's time to discuss the Known and Unknown Multiverse," Shizuka continued.
"The Known and Unknown Multiverse?," Kirino, Yukino, and everyone who was seated were sporting curious expressions, muttering the question all at the exact same time to different degrees due to the strange terminology that was presented to them.
"The Known and Unknown Multiverse is known by many names really. To comic book readers from the west and other types of literature, it is known by the title of Omniverse. In the Higher Planes of Existence, it is known by other names such as the Totality and the All due to it being a collection of individual multiverses of different cosmologies. Like the two universes that you all came from for instance. They are quite frankly separate universes from two different multiverses, and as of this moment, you are all currently in a different universe with no connection to either of them. Think of it as getting into another apartment that is not connected with the apartments that all of you were residing in. Your two multiverses would basically amount to two apartments and you somehow all travelled to this apartment, to which reminds me, how in the world did all of you even get here?"
Kirino and Yukino, along with many others, were looking at each other, seemingly at a lost as to how to explain that little factor which allowed to cross from one apartment to the next.
Both Kirino and Yukino turned back towards Shizuka, with the former speaking. "Well..."
And at that point, Kirino, Yukino, and many others would provide an account as to what had happened prior to the sudden transportation between multiverses. Kirino was simply about to play her usual adult games from her room while Yukino was simply about to check the following notes that she had jotted down in for the use of the Service Club, and by the time they came to, they suddenly ended up in the docks, along with everyone else. At that point, everyone in the know would begin to sport concerned and familiar expressions on their faces, recognizing such a phenomenon that had been documented from anywhere.
"It would appear that based on all of your testimonies, I would have to conclude that all of you have been sent here to this universe via a Chronological Anachronism Phase," Councilman Walker spoke with a grave and concern tone, one that Kirino, Yukino, and the rest of their respective groups would all took immediate notice.
"Chronological Anachronism Phase?," Yukino asked, curious about the term.
"It's a phenomenon that the SCP Foundation, the organization that I and several others belonged too, had been dealing with for quite some time. And this phenomenon that brought all of you here is far from the only thing that we encountered. Inconsistent elements and natures would tend to get brought through different universes and multiverses in seeming random circumstances that are far too unpredictable and is considered to be a possible depending K-Class Scenario Level Threat due to said unpredictability. Literally anyone could be affected by this phenomenon with none to the wiser and we've managed to deal with these problems and gain new insights and experiences from it. To put it simply, what happened to all of you was simply just an unnatural form of coincidence given shape due to this phenomenon," Shizuka explained in Councilman Walker's stead.
"I...see," Yukino muttered, as she and many others that were seated were seemingly alarmed at such a phenomenon considering that literally anyone could be affected and get dragged into different universes and multiverses without as much as a warning which was likened to that of an isekai gone completely wrong.
"In this case, considering the fact that the Tokyo of my own universe is literally a hotspot and hub for intermultiversal phenomenon, it stands to reason that the Chronological Anachronism Phases are the kind of thing that is usually dealt with around here for one reason or another, ergo it allowed a link to be form between three worlds for an instant, thereby sending them all here to my universe unexpectedly," Night Baron spoke grimly, recalling of past experiences in dealing with mysterious phenomenon like the Chronological Anachronism Phase.
"Speaking of which, what exactly is the SCP Foundation? Cause I've been hearing that name getting said a whole lot around here and I would like to know as to what you guys are and what exactly do you all do?," Kirino asked, sporting a curious, narrowed expression, with arms crossed, slightly looking towards Kyousuke who took notice of her, simply staring at her with straightforward eyes.
"The SCP Foundation, the acronyms 'SCP' stand for Secure Containment Procedures or Secure, Contain, Protect, is an inter-multiversal organization that is dedicated to the protection of the Known and Unknown Multiverse, having existed since the very ancient days when humanity was quite young of a species, but was nevertheless capable of many countless years of longevity to the point of being immortal," Councilman Walker answered, pressing a few buttons from the remote, showcasing humanity in it's early golden years.
To the shock and awe of many who were watching, they would see very tall figures, the very first humans that walked the earths, those who made use of the Ways, being likened to that of mere giants that stand at least 10 ft. tall for males and 9 ft. tall for females, all of whom were carrying what seemed to be primitive tools was in actuality ancient technology that had a multitude of functions built into it. The construction of grand fortresses. The flourishing of cultures. The makings of great civilizations.
"Our organization has existed for a very long time. We were founded for one single purpose. One that was founded on the purity of noble intention. The protection of all life. We are the ones who fought back against the darkness, against the tide of chaos that tries to do it's best to hunt us down to extinction, only to rise above the challenges and prove ourselves in the face of sheer adversities," Councilman Walker continued.
And another scene followed. This time concerning the ancient battles that Ancient Humanity had dealt with for the past uncountable pre-history aeons. Gods, monsters, demons, and other eldritch abominations were fought back one way or another by the mightiest of warriors. Many countless artifacts of dangerous perception, forever sealed off and contained, not allowing it to see the light of day. Darkness in many shapes and forms that were instantly banished by the light of the flame that had grown forever brighter the more humanity triumph in the midst of adversities. Great battles of myth and legend throughout the different aeons, seeing the evolvement of the SCP Foundation as it grew in scale with efficiency and effectiveness, with soldiers and warriors from all aeons seemingly passing by from scene to scene as it is play out to all who were watching, and all couldn't help but be at awe. Memetic censors were applied automatically in case of the children in order for them not to see things that they aren't ready to see in accordance with the protocols and directives that were to be established by the Ethics Committee.
"Don't worry about your younger sisters, Gokou Ruri-san, for memetic censors have been automatically applied to your sisters and those deemed a little too young to see things not meant for younger eyes," Councilman Walker reassured when Kuroneko sported a concerned expression due to the graphic violence that she was no doubt seeing but strangely enough, her sisters could not see due to said memetic censors.
And another scene followed while the scenes of battles and wars of myths and legends would play out for one reason or another. This time showing the iconic logo of the SCP Foundation which is composed of an outlined circle with three arrows crossing its contour and pointing to the center. The structure is closed in a thin frame, which repeats its silhouette — a circle with three protruding rectangles (around the arrows' tails). The three arrows stand for "Secure. Contain. Protect.", and the circle symbolizes unity and eternity.
"There are certain things that go bump in the night, and we are the ones who bump back," Councilman Walker replied with a grave tone. "And we have defended humanity and everyone else for so very long, and with it, we have gained insight and experience into the inner workings of reality. Such things of normalcy had only been possible due to us combating the anomalies that tried to threaten the balance. We we're the ones who fight in the shadows, the ones who monitor everything and everyone in order to ensure the survival of humanity and every species in existence. We are the ones who are placed everywhere around the individual and the society, from simple students to simple workers, from talented individuals to the simple folk with good common sense, from each corner of society, we exist and we monitor all of it in order to keep everything in check, in other words, we're the guys who are basically the archivists that tried to sort out the damn mess."
This was all too large, too big for the likes of Kirino Kousaka, Yukino Yukinoshita, and everyone who was now seated alongside them. Seeing all of this had made them felt very tiny and very small. Seeing the wonders and horrors, seeing the birth and advancements of ancient civilizations, seeing universes of complex cosmologies born and die in accordance with the natural cycle, seeing anomalies of all sorts that range from simple mere items that one could find from everyday living to rare items of power that could practically make anyone a god that could control reality to their whimsical desires, seeing gods, monsters, demons, and other creatures being fought by humanity and other allied races in defense of all that is good, all of this and so much more that were played out to them made them felt very small and tiny as they all look towards Kyousuke Kousaka, Hachiman Hikigaya, Taishi Kawasaki, and Kouhei Akagi with a new pair of eyes of wonder and awe, with a hint of conflicted feelings.
Do they even know them at all?
That was the question that was to be repeated from the very back of their own minds. These three people, simple ordinary high school students, being part of something that is much bigger than appearances made them out to be. And if many throughout this room were to be completely honest, it might have answered several questions that came about through this revelation.
For Kyousuke Kousaka, he was known as the young high school student that wanted to be average, wanted to be normal, simply very laidback and calm when it comes to almost anything. When he has a problem, he doesn't panic even when the problem gets bigger and bigger, having a cool head and a firm determination. He also is quite very distant to his fellow students except to people like Manami Tamura. He and Kirino, before they interacted once again after all this time, was in some sense in a "Cold War" that resulted in an incident surrounding an accident involving Akimi Sakurai, along with his grandmother from his father's side dying which further added to his grief, and through the life counseling that Manami gave him which advise him to become "normal" as she was, all of these factors involved seemingly resulted into the carefree, unambitious and average teenager he is now and thus began the "Cold War" that lasted for many years.
However, there were times during some moments, the cracks slipped, revealing an anger of righteousness so deep that could cut deep into the prejudices of one's soul. And it was one that Ayase Aragaki could remember as clear as day the moment she decided to perform a tantrum throughout the streets of Akihabara.
"Stand down, Ayase."
Ayase had heard it, one that made shivers run down her spine, one that she would never want to witness ever again. The growl of a young man who has had enough of her melodrama. The eyes that had gone cold and was replaced by something much darker. No longer was he the man who desired the normal. No longer was he the happy-go-lucky man that was simply just swept to the side in a fashion befitting that of a loser.
No... This was something far worst... All as the thunder from the heavens was cracking from the sky, when the little droplets of rain kept coming down, with the eyes never leaving Ayase for one second.
Such a thing... The very kind big brother of one Kirino Kousaka... When his kindness turns to anger, now was the moment when things turned darker.
"Oniisan, stay out of..."
Ayase could not continue, stuttering and gasping in turn, widening her eyes in shock, all when her arm which was tightly holding Kirino's arm was being grabbed and tightened by Kyousuke who was not backing down for one second, even eyes becoming sharper and a voice that was becoming less normal and more subtly feral in an intimidating like fashion that managed to scare Ayase, Kirino, Kuroneko, Saori, and everyone who was present in the background, with a voice as hard as steel, as sharp as a very pointed sword.
"I said... Stand down, Ayase, now!"
And just like that, Ayase couldn't help but surrender immediately, trembling profoundly as she let go of Kirino's arm. And with that, she tumbled from the ground, trembling from the very raw rage that was present.
Who was this? Who was this? Who was this?
That was the question that was being thought of by everybody who knew of Kyousuke Kousaka. And his appearance back then, despite how seemingly normal it was during the light rainy day which was accompanied with the sound of thunder, it almost made it seem that Kyousuke's eyes were cold, with not a hint of warmth left, seeing something profoundly dark.
The usually kind Kyousuke was seemingly no more during that time. The man who was now standing before them that day was a hardened war veteran who had been through the darkness that was hidden to all. It was one that Ayase and many others couldn't help but recall. And this was far from the only incident. And when such pure determination ended up with the involvement of his father, Daisuke Kousaka, who took notice of the incident after being informed by his son, as he and Kyousuke were eventually clarifying to her the "lies" and "misconceptions" surrounding otaku culture, with the father drawing his hard earned experiences from his work as a police officer, and unbeknownst to her and the rest, was drawing his hard earned experiences from his work as an agent of the SCP Foundation.
But there were other pieces missing to this puzzle.
For Hachiman Hikigaya, he was known as the young high school student that was cynic and stoic while maintaining a cool atmosphere that made him quite well known as the Lone Wolf of Sobu High School. There were times when he may even seem apparently unfeeling, but was actually far kinder than anyone, even when he doesn't really show it. A young man who had wanted something genuine in life, appreciating every moment when such a gift were presented to him, no matter how small of an act it might be.
There were times when he was at his most ruthless, with words as sharp as a sword of logic, such as the fact when he deliberately made Minami Sagami realized her very own faults and flaws through nothing but true honesty, with no sugarcoating words, with an expression that made everyone stand completely still in dread as his dead fish eyes suddenly went away, revealing the sharp hardened eyes of someone that had seen death and destruction, the likes of which not just anyone could ever possibly understand.
"You really are the worst. Sagami. In the end, the only thing you really want is to be pampered. You're acting like that because you want people to care about you, right? Like now, you just want them to say 'that's not true at all' to you. It's obvious a person like that won't be treated as the Chairperson. You really are the worst."
"What, are you saying…?" Sagami trembled.
"I'm pretty sure everyone's already realized. Even someone like me who doesn't know a single thing about you can understand."
"D-D-Don't put me together with the likes of you…" Sagami stuttered.
"I'm not, as a matter of fact, we're both living in two completely different worlds, it's not even comparable or worth anything since unlike you, I've seen what lies in the abyss, of one where it was always very very hard not to instantly try to fall down and kept falling down forever and ever, driving you to the point of going absolutely mad and insane to the point of nothing but a practical joke. Unlike me who had seen it all, you're nothing but some self-entitled brat who thinks that everything should be given on a silver platter and always have the habit of playing the damsel in distress when nothing get's your way. But guess what, the world doesn't work like that. The world doesn't see anyone special. All it does is nothing but bring multiple misfortunes in life, and I believe it to be a challenge that humanity had arisen time and time again, and history proves this the more we study it and make it our very own. When I compare you to the rest of the people that I've met over the years, I've seen progress, a desire to be better than whatever it was that came out to be, no matter what past that they have, upholding a legacy that they all carried through with hands and tears and blood no matter the cost. You? What legacy do you want to bring to this world? What kind of life do you want to live? What kind of person do you want to be? You want my honest opinion about what you should do? How about you take full responsibility for your actions for once in your goddamn life? You're the goddamn Chairperson, so do your damn job and act like it because there are people back inside this very school that are counting on you. Try to think about that when you try to play-pretend cry wolf."
And just like that, he went back inside, leaving a very stunned Sagami, Hayato, Haruka, and Yukko, not moving an inch, feeling the atmosphere that was just cold and sharp, one that was carried by the Lone Wolf who hides something so dark that made his cynicism pinpoint some hypothetical points of validity, with determined words that were built into a character development so very deep that they could not see due to how seemingly dark it was.
It was a very unforgettable moment. It was one that many among Sobu High School had been talking even unto the present moment. That traumatic day which ended up completely turning Sagami over a new leaf slowly but surely as time passes by.
But there were other pieces missing to this puzzle.
And those missing pieces would relate to a shrouded past that made the men that they knew to be today. What were those pieces? Something screaming at the back of their minds told them that the truth that was now being shown from the projections was quite the eye-opener and a shock of a lifetime.
These young men have seen the darkness. These men have fought it in many shapes and forms. They have seen things that were practically the stuff of nightmares. The more they realized this, the more they realize just how deep of a past had these two carried. An unknown past known only to a few. Hints that were thrown their way such as the last battle that involved the Joker Gang which denoted something personal according to Shizuka.
Yes, all of what they had experienced for this hour was an eye-opener to behold, one that made many of them quite terrified as they couldn't help but sweatdropped in trepidation, seeing these young men having been through far too much than anyone. And it wasn't just them either. There were the other people in this room who carry a seriousness that lies in connection with the darker shades of the past. Should they dare find out? They have gone through this so far, perhaps slowly but surely, they could see it. A resolve that was burned into the heart of Kirino Kousaka, Yukino Yukinoshita, and many others. Time to find out who really are Kyousuke Kousaka and Hachiman Hikigaya.
The serious expressions that Kyousuke and Hachiman carried were the hints. And they would have to ponder said hints to the best of their ability. They wanted to know. They wanted to understand.
"Umm," Haruno Yukinoshita raised her hand. "I have a question if you don't mind?"
Everyone would begin to look at Haruno, sporting curious expressions.
"What is it, Haruno-san?," Councilman Walker asked.
"Call me curious but what exactly does Hikigaya-kun, Kousaka-kun, Kawasaki-kun, and Akagi-kun do around the Foundation?," Haruno asked, sporting an honest curious expression.
Councilman Walker would begin to look towards Kyousuke, Hachiman, Akagi, and Taishi, who immediately nodded to him out of respect for him to continue, to which he would send a grateful nod as he turns to look at Haruno once more. "Well, their main official job in the Foundation is basically being assigned under me personally, being given Level 5 Thaumiel Clearance and the rank of five star general for Kyousuke-kun, Hachiman-kun, and Akagi-kun, and the rank of commander for Taishi-kun, currently employed as agents of the Men In Black (MIB) Division, elite field agents tasked with monitoring, licensing, regulating, and policing the multiverse, many of which involve the duty of protection from threats and anomalies that range from the subtle to the blatant, to protect innocent civilians and non-combatants, to guard important political individuals, to uphold and discern the Prime Directive which is a directive generally associated in maintaining secrecy and to respect the natural development of the younger races and low level civilizations, and many other important tasks with regards to the mundane and the cosmic, holding a licence to kill in the field, at their discretion, to complete any mission assigned to them."
"..."
Kirino, Yukino, and most of everyone of their respective groups was now slowly looking towards Kyousuke and Hachiman with widened eyes.
First things first...
"General?! Commander?! Those four?!," Yumiko couldn't help but point wildly at Kyousuke, Hachiman, Taishi, and Kouhei, with the first two simply rolling their eyes out. "Yo-You've got to be kidding me?!"
"I can assure you, Miura, that those four had earned those ranks fair and square. They didn't just got promoted out of a drop of a hat without the necessary requirements and experiences that came with it," Shizuka spoke in a serious professional tone in a manner of defense, with arms crossed.
"B-But still...," Yumiko was in a state of disbelief, especially looking at the Lone Wolf of Sobu High School with an expression of disbelief.
"Hey partner," Kyousuke whispered. "Was she always this overreactive back in your world?"
"Honestly, I have no idea since I couldn't care less on what the Fire Queen does on her free time," Hachiman answered simply.
"Hey, I'm over here you know!," Yumiko exclaimed in annoyance.
"We know," both Kyousuke and Hachiman said at the exact same time, much to Yumiko's chagrin.
"C-C-Commander," Saki muttered, seemingly in a state of disbelief, awe, and somewhat proud at the fact that her brother could attain such a military rank at a very young age.
"Hey everyone, aren't we forgetting something?!," Gennosuke Miura asked, looking towards Kyousuke, Hachiman, and Taishi with awe. "Didn't Walker-san said that these four were practically Men in Black agents?!"
"That's right, he did said that!," one of the unnamed twins of the Games Research Club responded in shock.
"Does that mean that the Men in Black movies are also real?!," the other of the unnamed twins of the Games Research Club asked in shock.
"Yes, although technically the Foundation's MIB Division came first. That and they are very different from that particular organization, but they do have similar functions such as serving as a literal immigration service for aliens and non-humans in general for example. The original three MIB films are basically a historical documentary from a certain point of view. The Men in Black (MIB) are one of our many allied organizations across the wider multiverse, and one of the benefits of surviving in the wild of the multiverse is by having a few friends of independence with very similar goals among other things, keeping close tabs upon one another and report for anything requiring Foundation assistance when necessary," Councilman Walker explained.
"..."
Most of everyone couldn't help but sport expressions of shock and awe, looking towards Kyousuke, Hachiman, and Taishi, seemingly couldn't believe the fact that they are basically living the life of an MIB.
"Wow...," Meguri Shiromeguri muttered in awe.
Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep.
And all of a sudden, a beeping sound was occurring from the remote that was held by Councilman Walker who took notice of it as he begins to press a red button, activating a holographic screen from the front, showing one MIB agent, a Gungnan in case of appearance, sitting from the reception desk, and everyone was now looking towards the screen, paying close attention.
"Uh sir, me'm sorry to bother yousa as of disa moment, but it would appearen dat a couple of two young women and a young girl are here to see Agent Kousaka and Agent Hikagaya. Me'll patch in tada locateon now," the Gungnan MIB agent said, typing a few keys from the advance keyboard.
"?" Kyousuke and Hachiman both slowly look to each other, commonly thinking "It can't be, right?,".
And at that moment, the screen would eventually switch to a scene that has two beautiful young women and a young girl that were waving from the screen, all of whom were sporting beautiful smiles on their faces.
"Wait! Onee-chan!," Komachi sported a shocked expression, recognizing one of the women, one who had blonde hair.
"Huh! Onee-chan!," Yukino and many others exclaimed as they looked towards Komachi in shock.
"Hi papa," Vivio Takamachi waved her right hand, sporting a bright smile on her face. "Mama, Godmother Fate, and I came to visit you and Godfather Hachiman at work."
"Wait! Papa!," Kirino and many others exclaimed as they looked towards Kyousuke in shock.
"Wait! Godfather!," Yukino and many others exclaimed as they looked towards Hachiman in shock.
Kyousuke and Hachiman were sweatdropping in exasperation as they both look to each other.
"Well, this is better timing than I thought since we are quite literally coming clean on what the hell we've been up to behind everyone's back. Why not add our girlfriends and your adopted daughter to the mix of this drama," Hachiman said bluntly, slightly glancing to see his girlfriend, Fate Testarossa Harlaown, waving and smiling at him which warms his cynical heart.
"(Sigh). Can't be help I supposed," Kyousuke said in a tone of surrender, slightly slightly glancing to see his girlfriend, Nanoha Takamachi, and their adopted daughter, Vivio Takamachi, waving and smiling at him which warms his very tired heart. "Besides, I did miss my girlfriend and my daughter anyway, and I'd like to at least get a chance to spend time with them after a hard day's work," he said the last part with a smile.
