Blue Flames with Red Roses

"The Tiny Bird and The Colours": The plot of this book is quite simple. A bird travels to many different worlds and absorbs colours into its wings, such as "the blue of tears", "the pink of sneezes", and the "orange of smiles". They made Tiny Bird's wings beautifully rainbow-coloured. However, the bird still wished to travel to new worlds, and it eventually absorbed so many colours that they started to mix, making the wings more duller and black... so the bird died in the end.

"Purple of Haze"

"Red of Anger"

"Black"

"Colour of pain"

"Hey SAHA!" Sing-love called, her eyes still watching the events transpire.

"Yes governor?"

"I change my mind," Sing-love replied, "even with Jack's tampering, there still seems to be quite a few spares on the battlefield...launch our forces."

"As you wish my queen, would you also like to release the prisoners that the White Fang supplied us with."

"...Sure, why not."

One of the giant ones got close enough to raise its giant foot and attempt to stomp on both Strenght and Yuu.

Both Strenght and Yuu turned their Gatling guns back into orge arms and jumped back to evade.

With all the flickering lights of firing bullets, Strenght and Yu never had a chance to properly examined what they were fighting.

Yuu and Strength didn't even bother to question what they saw.

From the looks of it, they were fighting alien robots.

They were in different shapes and sizes each with their own unique feature that made it really annoying to defeat.

But there was still a lot of them.

Some were tiny while others were huge. Ironically, it was the small flying ones that were harder to destroy.

Anything bigger than Strenght or Yuu went down with nothing but a single punch.

One of the small flying alien robots flew behind Yu when she wasn't watching and fired a laser at her.

Strength interfered and blocked before it hit her. Strength then stretch out one of her orge arms and crushed it before it could retreat.

"Thanks."

"Were never going to move at this rate," Strenght informed out as she noticed that they were now completely surrounded.

"We'll see about that." Yu didn't care that she was just versing small fry, she prepared to give this battle her all.

The hordes of alien robots attacked mercilessly.

Yuuki and Purple SIster flew high across the hallways to evade the lasers that were being fired at her.

Levi hooked onto the ceiling and used gas to boast himself upwards just barely missing a claw from cutting him into two.

Otonashi aimed his handgun and fired at the small tiny ones.

Team KNOL's strategy was simple: Yuuki and Nepgear would fly and attract all the attention, Levi took care of the giant ones while Otonashi took care of the small ones from a distance.

At this point, Otonashi had grown extremely used to using this handgun that Yuri had given him. It never ran out of bullets and seem to destroy the small flying robots in one shot. Although actually hitting them was another story for him.

One of the giant robots paid it's full attention to Otonashi and attached him causing Otonashi back away in fear. Back from his world, Otonashi was already dead hence he can't actually be killed. So mostly, it was the pain of dying that scared Otonashi.

Levi appeared from behind and sliced the giant robot's head off its body before it could hurt Otonashi. Although the robot's head landed right next to Otonashi almost crushing him to death.

"Hey! Watch it!" Otonashi yelled at him. Levi ignored him and continued pursuing the other enemy alien robots.

Out of habit, Levi always managed to slice the neck of the giant ones, even those that technically didn't have a neck. That was what he was always trained to aim for after all. But now there was one difference: the twin blades that Jason gave him. They connected to his 3D maneuver gear and had the ability to change into shotguns with huge firepower. With those, Levi could easily blow holes into any of the giant ones. But once again, out of habit, Levi mostly used the blade version.

Sister Heart was surprised at how calmly Yuuki was taking all this. Alien Robots had appeared out of nowhere and Yuuki didn't even flinch at the sight. But now that Sister Heart thought about it, Yuuki was a gamer back in her world. So seeing something like this must be like seeing the small fry of a video game for her.

Seeing that Yuuki was still doing her best, Sister Heart worked extra hard to make sure she wouldn't become dead weight for her comrades.

Natsu and Naruto just stared blankly at the hordes of prisoners.

Illya suddenly remembered the break-in of Beacon Prison that occurred three days ago. She saw it on the news: after a white fang raid, every prisoner had except for four of the most wanted criminals had escaped and haven't been found since.

Seeing all of them here, ready to invade Beacon made her nervous. Considered they teleported here, Illya assumed that there were other escaped prisoners roaming the school. She prayed for the safety of her comrades.

"Aww, I wanted to fight aliens," Naruto complained.

"Or giant robots," Natsu added.

"You're complaining?!" Illya exclaimed in shock, although she wasn't worried as she knew more than enough about how capable Naruto and Natsu were. A horde of armed men wouldn't be enough to even faze Natsu or Naruto.

"Ah yes, this should make some good slapstick comedy," Ruby the magical wand commented as she pulled out a camera.

The group of escaped prisoners stared at the Team TINN as they had their own private conversation.

"We have to fight those people," one of the prisoners asked, "I get this is a school that trains young huntsmen but...those are kids."

"Shut up! It's great for us, isn't it? Once we're done here, they said were free to go. We were clearly let off easy compared to the others, be grateful!"

"Why is one of them wearing a magical girl outfit?" Another guy asked pointing at Illya.

"They're probably mocking us! Kids these days do get a bit cocky these days." -

"What is she a cosplayer?"

Natsu tapped them one of them on the shoulder.

"What?! Can't you see I'm-"

He froze.

Natsu grinned as he clenched his red gauntlets, the fireproof gauntlets that Jason gave him.

His gauntlets lit on fire and punched the prisoner right in the stomach, sending him right to the back of the crowd of prisoners.

There was an instant reaction, all prisoners pulled out rifles and aimed.

Using Natsu's shoulder as a boast, Naruto jumped over Natsu and used his clone jutsu.

Naruto clones rained down on the escaped prisoners, each Naruto held a throwing knife as a weapon.

"What the fu-"

"Fire Dragon's Roar!" Natsu breathed in and then breathed out fire at the enemy. As a wizard, Natsu's main power source was the amount of magic he had in his body.

Already, half of them were wiped out.

"M-Monster!"

"Look!" One of the escaped prisoners pointed at Illya who was flying in the air while holding Ruby, the magical wand, in her hand.

Illya aimed and sent a pink magical blast in their direction. She was a magical girl, so unlike Natsu, her power source was called mana.

"SHE'S A REAL MAGICAL GIRL!?"

White Heart, also known as Blanc in her CPU form, dived straight into the horde of alien robots.

She lifted her weapon and smashed it right in the middle of the horde, sending robot parts flying everywhere.

Shido and Tooru stared in awe. At this rate, White Heart was going to end up doing more damage than the enemy.

Asuna flew near the ceiling to get a birds-eye view of White Heart and the enemy. She wanted to help but she didn't want to get caught up in White Heart's rage.

Something else caught Asuna's eye, "Shido! Tooru! Behind you!"

Shido turned around and the first thing he saw was an axe.

Tooru interfered and blocked with his shield.

"Sandalphon! Lend me your strength!" Shido pulled back his weapon and released a powerful swing, sending the escaped prisoner flying across the field and crashing into another group of escaped prisoners.

Sorry Tohka, I need to borrow your power again. Shido apologized in his head.

(FLASHBACK)

"You won't survive long in this world without a weapon, so I've given the ability to summon Tohka's angel at will," Jason explained.

Shido stared in amazement, "Really? How did you do that?"

"It wasn't much, you already Tohka's power in you when you sealed her powers as a spirit," Jason replied.

"Wow, thanks, I sure owe you one huh?"

"Although I must warn you, as long as you hold Sandalphon, Tohka will be completely defenseless back in your world...so I advise you don't use it frequently."

(FLASHBACK)

He always felt anxious everytime he held Sandalphon. What if Tohka was in trouble and he was using her only way of self-defense? Shido would ask himself. In that case, it would all be his fault...but he shook off those thoughts. Even with Kotori here, there were still those Shido could rely on to take care of Tohka.

Finishing this as fast as possible, was going to have to be his main objective.

"SHIDO!"

A sword slashed Shido from the back. Shido turned around and released another powerful blow, knocking out at least 10 more enemies.

There were wounds all over Shido's body now. There were all healing due to his mysterious ability to regenerate and his aura...however he wasn't healing fast enough.

Each time he attacked, enemies surrounded him and added more to his list of injuries.

Tooru wanted to help but he enemies got in his way and with nothing but a shield to defend himself, Tooru couldn't do much to push forward.

Tooru and Shido stopped and looked when they saw Asuna dashing towards them, bringing the force of the wind with her.

Asuna ran straight past a group of escaped prisoners and instantly, the wind that Asuna brought with her, picked them up and sent them flying.

This gave Shido and Tooru a chance to regroup.

In her ALO avatar, Asuna chanted a spell and suddenly, Shido's and Tooru's injuries healing faster. Back in her world, one of Asuna's nicknames was "Berserk Healer."

Asuna looked back and saw White Heart was doing an exceptional job holding off the alien robots. She decided to leave the alien robots to White Heart and assist Tooru and Shido.

Asuna heard one of the escaped prisoners let out a wolf whistle.

"Tooru! Move forward. Shido, stay behind me!" Asuna ordered as she prepared for another charge, "Let's go!"

"Hai!"

Ruby gently knelt down next to Mato's bed.

"M-Mato?" Ruby could feel Black's glare creeping her back.

Black sat at the opposite side of the room to give them a bit of privacy but her presence alone made it feel like she was right next to them.

Trying her best to ignore it, Ruby raised her hand and gently placed her hand on Mato's shoulder.

Mato flinched as if she had just realized Ruby was in the room.

"Mato?"

Ruby gulped. She didn't know where to start. Should she comfort her or try to get Mato out as fast as possible. Seeing her emotional state, both options were going to take a lot of time.

"Mato I am so sorry. I should've been there."

Mato's heartache. It was obvious that Ruby had no idea what was happening or why Mato was upset in the first place. Ruby had no reason to apologize or even be here.

"I know it must've scary. Being a huntress can come with traumatising experiencing but..."

Mato never asked to be Huntress yet here she was. Her ears could barely listen as Ruby desperately tried to find the right words to say.

"Mato please, I'm worried about you!"

Ruby didn't know. How could she? She's not from her world. Despite being in the same room, their situations were completely different.

More chaotic noises came from outside which only added more pressure onto Ruby. She was undoubtedly trying to rush a job that would usually take days, weeks or even months. Ruby didn't have that much time.

"Mato...please..."

"Aww." Sing-love commented as she watched the events transpired as if she was watching a TV show.

After another moment of observing, Sing-love smiled as she stood up to stretch, "Ferid. Kurumi. Illya...I'm gonna go down now. Wanna come?"

"Don't call me that," Illyasviel replied as she summoned her servant Berserker.

"Hehehe," Kurumi giggled.

"One of them catch your interest?" Ferid asked.

"A couple actually," Sing-love replied, "a small introduction shouldn't hurt. SAHA! Open the door will you?"

"Of course my queen."

A section of the room opened letting the wind rush into the room.

Kurumi was the first to jump out, "Hehehehe, I'm coming, Shido-san."

As she fell from the sky, Kurumi changed into her Astral Dress and shoot herself in the head.

"Berserker!" Illyasviel ordered.

The giant beast picked its master up and followed after Kurumi's footsteps.

"I might stay for a while," Ferid said as he finished his drink, "I have a feeling I might be needed here."

"Suit yourself."

With that, Sing-love left.

Ferid turned and walk in the opposite direction.

"What will you be doing?" SAHA asked.

"Just want to check on something, that's all."

Shido tensed as he recognized this feeling.

Asuna, Blanc and Tooru looked up.

While those three couldn't believe their eyes, Shido saw it coming. Well...he had already seen her coming.

"Umm, Mr. Ironwood?"

"What is it, soldier?" Ironwood froze as he stared with utter disbelief.

After seeing alien robots attacking the school, Ironwood thought he had mentally prepared for anything that would come next.

But he certainly did not expect to see flying clones of the same woman all wearing the same red gothic dress.

Atestian forces clashed with the alien robot forces in both sky and land battles.

At first, the battle was evenly sided but with Kurumi's clones rushing everywhere, the battle was slowly tilting to one side.

The Atletian warships remained intact but have yet to do something about the giant mothership that was in front of them.

In midst of this boisterous of this battle, both the otherworlders and the inhabitants of Remnant each faced their own formidable opponent.

Mato only submerged deeper into her blanket as Ruby's words felt like soundless noises.

Every single thing that Ruby spoke did nothing but drown in Mato's mind.

Even Stella, who was inside Mato's head, had tried but failed.

It wasn't until Ruby said a word that almost jolted her back to life.

Yang fell to the ground and Death Gun hit her with a stun bullet.

"YANG!" Blake went to assist.

"Blake! Don't rush in, they'll-" Four Laughing Coffin members interfered before Weiss could give her warning.

Nora and Ren stood back to back, covering Pyrrha who had also been hit by Death's Gun stun bullet.

Jaune looked around, trying to tragically think of a plan to counter them. Although that itself proved to be difficult as the pressure of constantly being attacked by enemies interfered with his train to thought.

But Jaune did notice one thing that everyone else had failed to realise, "GUYS BE CAREFUL! THEY'RE TRYING TO SEPARATE US!"

The surrounding Laughing Coffin members all smiled sadistically.

A Kurumi clone aimed her gun but Yuuki sliced it in half before she could fire.

Two more Kurumi clones appeared behind but Levi swooped in and sliced both their necks before they did anything.

Each Kurumi clone disappeared into nothing after being killed.

"Where did they all come from?!" Purple Sister asked.

"I'm not sure, but they keep repeating Shido's names which worries me." Otonashi replied.

All Purple Sister could do was wish for everyone's safety and focus like Levi ordered her.

Kirito hesitated. Which almost cost him his life as Berserk Yu's demonic black wings moved on it's own nd sliced Kirito's across the shoulder.

His Health Points went down drastically. This was like fighting a boss for him and Sinon.

Sinon fired another bullet and shot him in the shoulder. Since Yu was still Sinon's teammate, she avoided any vital spots.

Shinoa was about to charge in but Kirito pulled her back, "It's too dangerous!"

"But I have to!" Shinoa replied, "This isn't the first time Yu was like this."

"What did you do to stop him?!"

Shinoa's words got caught in her throat as she remembered what happened last time.

"Shinoa?...SHINOA?!"

Shinoa snapped out of it and faced Kirito, "I need to get closer! Much closer than th-"

Kirito pushed Shinoa out of the way and blocked Yu's sword just in time.

Kirito struggled. Berserk Yu was so strong that the force of their swords clashing created a crater beneath their feet.

Getting Shinoa closer was obviously going to be no easy task.

Yuri and Kanade stood back up, covered in slash marks.

"You know...thinking about all that's happened. There's just way too much fantasy for my liking," Yuri joked as she summoned a rifle, "makes you feel like we're kinda outa place doesn't it?"

"Yeah." Kanade replied as she got into a defensive posture, "...Yuri..."

"Yes?"

"Please forgive her. I don't think Julie knows what she's doing."

Yuri chuckled softly at Kanade's obvious remark, "You think?"

They both looked as Julie clutched her head and screamed in pain.

"Let's go, Kanade!"

Julie sprinted forward with speed that even the naked eye couldn't keep up with.

Kanade blocked.

Yuri aimed.

The small child raised her hand and hundreds of icicles appeared and fired themselves at her opponent.

Purple Heart flew upwards to avoid Inverse Yoshino's attack.

However what she couldn't avoid was the giant pillar of ice that was thrown at her from above.

The pillar of ice dropped on top of the CPU giving Purple a very heavy crash landing.

A dark blue flame gathered in Inverse Kotori's hand. With just a hand gesture, multiple attacks made of fire approached Iris Heart at high speed.

Iris Heart swiftly dodged. She had already tried slicing Kotori's flames in half which didn't end well so she was stuck with evading.

Seconds past and Iris Heart saw an opening which she took immediately by flying directly at Kotori.

A shield made completely of dark blue flames gathered around Kotori but that didn't stop Iris Heart.

The CPU flew straight through the flames, ignoring the pain.

Iris wrapped her whip around Kotori neck and launch her into the air before smashing her on the ground.

Purple Heart recovered from the ice and looked, "No mercy huh?"

A few more icicles were thrown in Purple Heart's direction.

She dodged and evaded. An action that Purple Heart had been doing for a while. Evil or not, this was still Yoshino so Purple Heart couldn't help but hold back every time she looked at Inverse Yoshino's emotionless face.

Iris Heart grabbed Kotori's head and lifted her into the air. She didn't look happy at all, "You've been very very naughty Kotori. Guess I'm gonna have to show you a little discipline."

Purple Heart shivered. There it was. Iris Heart's sadistic nature. Another side of Plutia's personality that is so terrifying, that people can't help but freeze in fe-

Iris Heart flinched as there was no fear or emotion in Kotori's expression.

An icicle impaled Purple Heart through the chest. There was no blood. CPUs never bleed but they do feel pain.

Iris Heart let go of Kotori and turned around, throwing her arms in front of her to hold off a blizzard that Yoshino threw at her.

Kotori placed her hand on Iris Heart's back and didn't hesitate to begin burning it.

Iris Heart was powerful. But even she couldn't handle this situation: from the front, she suffered a freezing cold blizzard while from the back, she suffered heat so immense that the hottest Deserts couldn't even begin to compare.

Both Inverse Spirits stopped attacking...as Iris Heart fail to her knees.

Natsu dusted off his hands. Naruto grinned proudly.

Their area was clear for the moment. Due to Natsu's firepower, they were assigned to guard outside, right in front of the Academy.

Although it seems most the enemy forces were either already inside or fighting in the air.

All the escaped prisoners that attacked Team TINN groaned in pain as Illya tied them up, "You went too far Natsu."

"ALRIGHT! WHO'S NEXT?!" Natsu cheered, completely ignoring Illya's comment.

"Illya! We should go help the others!" Naruto suggested.

Illya wasn't so sure about that, "But we were told to- WHAT THE!"

Natsu, Naruto and Illya looked up.

They recognised her as Kurumi from Shido's world but what completely flabbergasted them was the fact that there were hundreds of Kurumi copies flying everywhere.

Without warning, the Kurumi clones opened fire from above.

Natsu charged straight in with no concern for his safety. He jumped an incredible height and-

"FIRE DRAGON'S ROAR!"

Three clones were burnt to a crisp before disappearing into nothing.

Two more clones approach him and shot him in the back.

Natsu grinned as it didn't hurt at the slightest. He managed to land a fire kick on one of the clones before falling to the ground.

The other Kurumi clone dived after him but was stopped with Naruto threw a throwing knife at her.

Using sandals that Jason gave him, Naruto flew and grabbed Natsu from the back before he hit the ground. Every time Naruto carried him like this, Natsu couldn't help but compare him to Happy.

They both landed safely.

"Thanks." Natsu thanked.

"Don't mention it, leave all the flying to me," Naruto gave a proud thumbs up.

More Kurumi clones attacked them.

"Hehehehehehe!" They all giggled creepily.

"Two can play that game. SHADOW CLONE JUTSU!"

Clouds of smoke appeared and out came multiple clones of Naruto.

They jumped on the Kurumi clones and started bashing them on the head.

Natsu quickly finished them off.

While Illya was distracted by incoming enemies, one of the clones grabbed her and began to fly away,

"ILLYA!" Natsu cried.

"Don't worry, I got this!" Naruto claimed as he sent four of Naruto's clones chased after Illya to save her.

From where he was standing and the distance between them, Naruto himself couldn't do the job especially with all the enemies in his way.

Now it was just Naruto and Natsu. Not that it was a problem. Their combined strength was more than enough to deal with the Kurumi clones.

In fact, most of the Kurumi clones had either been eliminated or flew past to get inside Beacon Academy.

"Let's finish this quickly, Natsu."

"Right, then we can see if Illya is alri-"

Sing-love whistled, "Well done boys. You make quite the fascinating duo."

Natsu and Naruto froze.

All remaining nearby Kurumi clones stopped attacking.

She was standing right behind them. They didn't know how she managed to sneak up from behind without them noticing but they did know one thing: she was the enemy.

Natsu and Naruto turned around and pulled back their fist.

"FIRE DRAGON'S IRON FIST!"

"RASENGAN!"

Illya heard a massive explosive from where she stood. She looked at the Naruto clones who had saved her, "What was that?"

They all shrugged.

"Let's go. Natsu and Naruto might be in tro-"

Illya stopped.

She looked up and saw something huge falling from the sky.

Illya flew.

The Naruto clones all jumped back.

They were just in time to avoid Berserker's landing.

It was clear as daylight who it was.

Berserker's presence only meant one thing:

Illya prepared for battle as she could already feel the intensity of Illyasviel's stare.

"Hello my shameless parallel self. We meet again."

The smoke cleared.

Most Kurumi retreated elsewhere while some watched from a safe distance with curious smiles on their faces.

Natsu and Naruto both stared wide-eyed as Sing-love just smiled.

Natsu & Naruto vs White Rock Shooter

The white-haired girl had stopped both of their attacks with nothing but the palm of her hands. Sing-love places an iron grip on both their hands and threw them into the air.

While in mid-air, Naruto was the first to regain his balance. He used his chakra sandals to fly and grab Natsu's back, carrying him.

From above, they looked down at the ground to see that Sing-love had disappeared.

"Jack told me your worlds are quite famous amongst the Dimensional Travellers."

Natsu and Naruto sensed her presence directly behind them.

"I can see why."

Naruto spun so that Natsu was facing Sing-love.

"FIRE DRAGON'S ROAR!"

The attack missed.

Sing-love once again appeared behind the duo.

"She can teleport- No, I felt the wind rush past...she's just really fast!" Naruto thought as he struggled to both fly while carrying Natsu, making sure he was facing the right direction.

Sing-love casually swung her scythe.

Natsu's gauntlets ignited in flames.

"FIRE DRAGON'S IRON FIST!"

They clashed.

Their collision exploded.

Sing-love retreated to avoid the smoke.

Emerging from the smoke, a flock of flying Narutos charged at Sing-love.

Sing-love couldn't help but giggle at the sight.

She disappeared, confusing all the Naruto clones.

Within a second, she managed to find the original Naruto.

Both Natsu and Naruto could've sworn they heard Sing-love sniff them.

She smiled.

Grabbing Naruto by the collar, Sing-love pulled them back and threw them towards the ground with incredible strength.

Their landing was mercilessly rough.

It was then, both Natsu and Naruto realised that Sing-love wasn't only too fast for the naked eye to follow but she was also insanely strong.

They almost broke a few bones thanks to that landing but thanks to their auras, they recovered.

"I don't mean to brag," Sing-love commented as she calmly hovered above the duo, "but according to Jack, I'm the final boss from where I come from. So please try a little harder... for my entertainment."

The two boys grinned.

Natsu punched his gauntlets together as his fighting spirit was once again ignited.

Naruto summoned another clone to help him gather chakra for another Rasengan.

The ground below them vibrated.

The view instantly took Sing-love's interest: she could feel Natsu's heat from where she was and the Rasengan Naruto was preparing looked much bigger than the previous one.

It was then, Sing-love felt something tickling her back. She turned her head and saw all the previous flying Naruto clones throwing knives at her. Although none of them managed to even pierce her skin,

A clone appeared from behind and wrapped their arm around Sing-live's neck while also attempting to stab a knife through her head.

All the clones gathered around in an attempt to restrain her.

With a single fearsome swing of her scythe, Sing-love made it rain unconscious defeated Naruto clones.

She then noticed the atmosphere getting extremely hot and humid. She looked up and saw Natsu with an extremely large ball of fire.

"FIRE DRAGON'S BRILLIANT FLAME!"

For a second, Sing-love felt like she was swimming through flames which was a first time experience for her.

However, the moment she escaped the flames, Natsu headbutted Sing-love's stomach with incredible speed like a bull, his entire body engulfed in blazing flames.

"FIRE DRAGON'S SWORN HORN!"

Sing-love actually did feel the 'push' in that attack but it only amused her further.

She pushed Natsu's head back with her hand.

Natsu's leg ignited and he unexpectedly did a backflip, landing a clean hit on Sing-love chin.

"FIRE DRAGON'S CLAW!"

Not sparing a second, Natsu's elbows began steaming and he propelled himself towards Sing-love.

"FIRE DRAGON'S FLAME ELBOW!"

Sing-love felt a sudden increase of strength in Natsu's punches.

Natsu then swiped his hand at Sing-love in a claw-like fashing, burning her

"FIRE DRAGON'S CRUSHING FANG!"

Natsu grabbed Sing-love's neck and while supporting his arm with his other, he blasted her at point blank range.

"FIRE DRAGONS GRIP'S STRIKE!"

Sing-love crashed landed onto the ground.

Not long after, Natsu's two feet landed directly on top of Sing-love, one foot on her head and the other on her chest.

Natsu lifted one foot and stomped in Sing-love's head. The impact on her head was so strong that a crater appeared beneath them.

"FIRE DRAGON'S ROASTING BATH!"

The temperature around them increased drastically.

The heat was so intense that even Sing-love's sweat evaporated. Another thing to notice...Sing-love was actually sweating?!

Fighting against the heat of Natsu's sole, Sing-love looked at Natsu and saw that his eyes were practically glowing from the heat.

She saw Natsu's aura taking the shape of a very large creature.

"So this is the power of a dragon huh?" Sing-love commented. Her playful amusement was gone and was replaced with excited adrenaline.

"LIGHTNING FIRE DRAGON MODE!"

Sparks of lightning combined with Natsu's entire flaming body.

Sing-love blinked twice, "Hmm? That's new."

Natsu clenched his fist as his one arm gathered immense amounts of heat, lighting and magic.

"LIGHTING FIRE DRAGON'S-"

"I wonder what would happen if I let this hit."

"FIRING HAMMER!"

He delivered his final devastatingly strike to Sing-love's head,

Flames and electricity flew everywhere.

Both Illya and Illyasviel froze in their tracks and looked.

"Those flames..." Illyasviel thought to herself as she began sweating from the heat, "it can't be those two. Were they always that powerful?"

"They're amazing aren't they?" Illya praised her own teammates.

"Don't flatter them. Soldiers are just as weak as their leader," Illyasviel insulted, "Besides, it's a waste of a trump card if you ask me...They may be powerful but Sing-love won't fall that easily."

Unloading all his magic power, Natsu constantly kept pushing forward unloading all the fire and electricity he could muster.

With both eyes opened and engulfed in both flames and electricity, Sing-love grabbed his fist and began pushing him back, "Oww."

This wasn't going to finish her and Natsu knew that.

However, just when Sing-love was about to overpower Natsu in strength and begin her counter-attack, Natsu yelled at the top of his lungs.

"DO IT! NARUTO!"

Hearing his name again, Sing-love had completely forgotten about the other boy.

She looked past Natsu's shoulder and saw Naruto gathering a very large ball of chakra... while also standing next to a giant red frog.

Gamabunta, the giant red frog, looked at the two Narutos who had been gathering chakra while Natsu kept Sing-love busy, "Maintaining his clones, summoning me and preparing a second Rasengan. If it weren't for those flying sandals supplying him with extra chakra, he would usually never be able to pull a stunt like this."

The giant red frog looked at Sing-love who was taking Natsu's attack like it was just a taser, "You can't beat her."

"WE WON'T KNOW UNTIL WE TRY!" Naruto yelled.

You could see the veins in Naruto's arm. All that chakra he was gathering proved to be very heavy.

"GAMABUNTA!"

At the mention of his name, the giant red frog lifted Naruto up.

Finally realizing what they were doing, Sing-love's grip on her scythe hardened.

Even with Natsu's weight standing directly on top of her, Sing-love sensed Natsu's getting weaker and weaker.

Sing-love stood up slowly, pushing Natsu back.

She swung her scythe in Naruto's direction which fired a slice of air strong enough to cut metal.

Naruto couldn't move.

So Gamabunta took the hit for him. The attack left a deep wound in his skin yet Gamabunta just shrugged it off displaying his great durability.

Pushing himself harder past his limits, Natsu's cheeks began inflating.

Sing-love looked at Natsu who was still standing right in front of her, "He's still going?"

"FIRE DRAGON'S ROAR!"

It was much weaker so the attack didn't even make Sing-love blink. With that said, the flames did block her from seeing where Naruto was.

Once he had secured Naruto, Gamabunta leapt a considerable height above the ground, right above Natsu and Sing-love.

The weight of all of Naruto's chakra proved to be nothing compared to the giant frog's size.

Without enough time to aim, Gamabunta pulled Naruto back before throwing him directly at Natsu and Sing-love with immense power.

To finish it off, Gamabunta opened his mouth, "Water Release: Gunshot!"

Converting his chakra into water, Gamabuntan shot one large condensed blast of water at Naruto's feet, boasting him like rocket launchers.

"I wish you good luck."

With that, both Gamabunta and all of Naruto's clones disappeared.

The temperature dropped drastically.

All of Natsu's flames and electricity went out.

As Natsu fell backwards, Sing-love saw a bright blue light.

She only managed to look at for half a second before Naruto's face was just a centre meter away from Sing-love's.

"RA...SEN...GAN!"

Both Natsu and Sing-love were caught in the blast.

In some other location, a supernatural crack was formed.

"...Well someone is having fun."

The colour of the sky returned to its normal colour.

For just a few seconds, Sing-love laid there...looking at the sky.

She clutched her forehead. Her vision was a bit blurry and a small headache greatly bothered her.

She sat up and looked. Both Natsu and Naruto were unconscious from using all of their magic and chakra.

She slowly stood up. She wobbled but quickly regain her balance. Honestly, Sing-love never believed that there were people beside Stella who could do a number on her until now. Jack did warn her but she still underestimated them in the end. Especially Naruto, she didn't expect an attack of that scale to come from him.

After her wounds healed, Sing-love gracefully walked towards the unconscious duo and sat down near them.

She leaned her chin on her hand and started thinking.

There was a mixture of things she was feeling right now.

First, she felt unsatisfied. As if she had been stopped right in the middle of an extreme roller coaster. Natsu and Naruto has unloaded everything they had before Sing-love could fight back. She may have won but in a way, she felt defeated since all she did was endure their attacks.

Second, she was confused at that final moment when Naruto fires his attack at both her and Natsu...it was as if he had faith in Natsu that he would survive.

That's what bothered her. From personal experience, Sing-love knew it was a foolish thing to put your trust in humans. And yet...

Natsu and Naruto were able to give her an exciting experience and she expected nothing less from people from other worlds.

But they were still human in Sing-love's eyes...and she absolutely hates humans.

Two kurumi clones approached with handguns. They were going to finish Natsu and Naruto off while they were out cold but Sing-love raised her hand, ordering them to stop.

"Leave them. Let them rest. They deserve it."

Not questioning her orders, the Kurumi clones left.

Sing-love...despised humans.

That's why she made it her goal to kill every human back in her world.

Yet she sensed something different about these two boys. Just from looking at their teamwork, you could tell they trusted each other with their lives which looked really foreign to Sing-love. After all..the last human she trusted her life with...tried to kill her in the end.

Maybe humans in other worlds acted differently from the ones from her world or maybe...Sing-love just didn't know everything about humans after all.

They're all predictable. Sing-love thought yet she didn't predict Natsu using himself as a distraction for Naruto's attack which was almost suicidal if you think about it.

Sing-love train of thought was interrupted when she sensed something.

In the dorm next door, Yomi heard a voice that really bothered her.

Dead Master eyed her other self as Yomi sat up from her bed and slowly exited her dorm.

A mischievous smile of amusement appeared back on her face, "oh well, I'll that for another time. Now it's time to have a little bit more fun."

Sing-love looked towards Natsu and Naruto who were still sleeping, "thanks for the ride boys. Till we meet again."

With that, Sing-love took off towards the dorms.

Winner: White Rock Shooter

Yuri coughed, "Oh come on...couldn't you go...*COUGH! COUGH!*...a bit easier on us."

Julie just stared, completely unresponsive.

The grip on both her blades stayed firm.

"We're not like the others you know. We don't have any fancy supernatural tricks or all that shounen stuff."

Julie stepped over Kanade's body and towards Yuri.

"After all..."

Julie dashed forward with incredible speed.

Yuri raised her gun and unloaded her bullets, "We're just regular high school girls! ISN'T THAT RIGHT, JULIE!?"

Not a single bullet manage to hit her.

Yuri gasped.

Julie flashed before Yuri's eyes and before she knew, both Yuri's and arm were sliced by Julie's sword.

Not giving time to even react, Julie the mercilessly stabbed both her twin sword into Yuri's chest and pulled them out.

Clothes reeking with her own blood, the magenta-purple haired girl thought about Kanade's words as she fell to the floor,

Please forgive her. I don't think Julie knows what she's doing.

"Tch!"

The long silver-haired girl turned around as Yuri's body hugged the floor.

She stood there in frozen silence like a stone statue.

The only girl left standing in the hallway.

Both Kanade's and Yuri's body were right behind her, however, there was no distinct reaction in her face.

Despite being incredibly swift and fast, Julie...slowly...walked away.

Step.

By.

Step.

Winner: Curse of the Fang (Julie Sigtuna)

Julie stopped abruptly...

She then began screaming in pain.

Illya slowly stood back up, bruises all over her body.

"Oi!" Illyasviel called with a disappointed look, "You can't seriously be this weak."

Illya's magical wand was greatly concerned for the girl's well being, "IllYA! Are you okay!"

"Just because we share the same face and voice, doesn't mean I'll hold back you know," Illyasviel as she gave Berserker a hand signal, "Come at me with everything you have...Or I really will kill you."

In a small room, both Saturn and Takane wait quietly in front of a computer.

"What? Something on my face?" Saturn asked when she noticed Takane staring.

"No, it's just...It's hard to take you seriously when you're in your chibi form."

"Oh come on!"

"I'm just kidding!" Takane laughed while Saturn sighed.

"But on a serious note, I was just thinking..." Takane said, "like I guessed that you could probably be many things...but to think that you're actually a gaming console."

"Hehe," Saturn laughed nervously, "well I never expected you to be a computer program."

"Hehe, true that. Anyways, I've been meaning to ask, are just a mascot or are you the actual console itself, and if so, are there multiple copies of you orrrr..."

Saturn scratched her head. It's not that she didn't know the answer to that question, it's just the answer to that question was very very long and she didn't think they had the time.

"It's complicated," Saturn answered.

"I see."

"Actually, I also have a question for you. Are you a human, a computer program or a bit of both?"

"It's complicated," Takane answered.

"I see."

"Well I guess that's different worlds for ya huh?"

"Yeah definitely," Saturn agreed with a soft hum.

Silence fell upon the pair as they continued waiting.

Their casual conversation was actually a way for them to calm their shaking hands.

But the loud noises outside didn't help calm their nerves.

The idea of their friends fighting with their lives while they sat here waiting for their queue.

Saturn was from Yuri's team and Takane was from Illya's team.

All they could do was hope for their safety since they couldn't spot them in the security cameras.

But suddenly, Saturn couldn't help it anymore, "We should go and help the others."

"That would be equivalent to throwing everyone's work down the trash bin," Takane argued but she herself understood where Saturn was coming from, "besides, if they're fighting them, then there's really little we can do."

"Then what should we do!?"

"...We could go now."

Saturn flinched, "Yeah, I-I guess we could but are you sure? We've only seen half of Jack's main group through the cameras. What if the other half is still on the mothership."

"Even more of a reason to be extra sneaky about it and what if they're just hiding until the right moment to strike."

"Why would they do that? They have the upper hand right now."

Takane shrugged, "not sure...but Jack does sound like a guy who would do that."

"True that. But Kirito said-"

"I know what he said but I don't know about you but doing nothing isn't exactly helping the situation." Takane interrupted.

"..."

"So you in?"

Saturn thought about it for a moment, "...let's do it!"

"Alright! Let's go then."

Takane laid down on a bed while walked up to the computer screen.

After a brief countdown, Saturn and Takane used their abilities...to enter Cyberspace.

"Let's go rescue that Vocaloid."

...

,,,

,,,

When Mato first saw a creature of Grimm she felt...many things.

Homesick.

Confused.

And... oddly excited. After all, it was exactly like one of those fantasy worlds that you only got to see in fictional stories.

But she never once felt scared.

Maybe her reunion with her other self assured her.

Maybe it was because her friends were there as well.

Maybe her being in a different, stronger and durable body boasted her confidence.

Or maybe...she simply underestimated the scale of the situation she was in.

It wasn't that she thought her life back at home was boring, she just couldn't grasp the idea of another world existing beside hers and Black's.

She was curious and the adrenaline of chasing that curiosity pushed her forward.

It was like an adventure.

In Mato's eyes, what happened to her when she was first brought to this world was exactly like what happened to the protagonist of games she played.

So she was never scared.

In fact, when she fought her first battle, she treated it like it was a video game so despite having no real like battle experience, she did exceptionally well in defending herself. Of course, later on, she had to learn the basics of combat from Yuu but before that, Mato was just a normal girl who only watched huge battles on TV.

There was that one time when she went to the otherworld and went head to head against Insane Black Rock Shooter and won. After that, Mato thought she had experienced it all. Until she came here of course.

Mato thought exploring the world of Remnant would be an adventure and it was. She met many people from other worlds who deeply interested her. Seeing so many people with different backgrounds and abilities sometimes left her speechless. And the fact that they were all in the same position as her only tightened the bond between them which was way more than she could ask for. They were all like anime characters in her eyes. Talking, working and interacting with them was like a dream come true. Everything felt so unbelievable that every single night when Mato went to sleep, she always had that thought that maybe she was just going to wake up back in her room and that all this was just a big crazy dream.

Yet it was real.

Reuniting with Black overjoyed her. The conversations she had with people like Ruby, Yuuki or Neptune never ceased to amaze her. They were always together assuring that Mato wasn't alone in this situation.

Mato knew...that one day everyone would have to go back to their homes, never to see each other again. There was obviously no helping that of course. So she made sure to make the best of it until then.

Maybe that's why... she started to pay less attention to Yo...

...

She did have some doubts. Like when she was asked to enter an academy that she was obviously way too young for. Mato is only in middle school after all meaning everyone around her was older than her. Then there was the "Stella Discovery" where Mato released she was actually using Stella's body and that Stella could now directly talk to her through her head which was nice in a way since Mato always had company but with Black and Miku constantly following her, Mato had barely received any privacy or time to herself since then. And of course, when she was told that bad guys from other worlds were also here and possibly targeting their group.

But the people around her always helped her to push forward. Before she knew it, she was part of a famous group known as "A Beacon of Insemblances". She kinda liked the ring to that name although being the talk of the school did embarrass her a bit.

But then...it slowly got worse.

Mato didn't know when these feelings of dread began.

The arrival of the bad guys?

Maybe when she first met Sing-love and got kidnapped.

Or when she fought the Skull Reaper in the forest and almost saw someone die.

Maybe the small lurking feeling she felt on those Cargo Ships wasn't just simple seasickness.

Maybe fighting the 2nd most wanted criminal, August Serena, left a scare in Mato's confidence.

Or maybe...maybe...

Maybe. A word that properly described Mato's confusion.

It was always maybe this or maybe that since Mato could never truly comprehend the situation she was in.

...

But the one-sided fight with Jack allowed her to reminded one thing...she was just a regular middle school girl.

Mato only survived because she was in Stella's body and Jason's healing.

The pain Mato felt when versing August was nothing compared to what Jack made her go through.

August finished off her opponents as quickly and efficiently he could while Jack straight up tortured her.

He tortured her friends right in front of her and she couldn't do anything about it.

Her reason for not fighting today was simple...she was scared.

Being practically unkillable, it was a feeling that slip past her a lot. But now she was afraid anything that might happen.

The idea that Mato was in a world where battles to the death were common was slowly started to haunt her.

Mato knew she was being stupid. After all, she was probably one of the most unkillable in the group yet those who have more fragile lives than her are out there fighting to protect Beacon.

After Jack's ambush, Mato blocked everyone out who tried to comfort her, even Stella who was literally in her head.

Her reasons for doing so were so stupid that even Mato herself was aware how much of a selfish jerk she was.

She was ashamed of herself. She blocked out those who only wanted to help and she hid beneath the blankets like a coward. She felt guilty for even calling herself a worth comrade.

She ignored everyone.

She pushed them away.

She left them to do all the work and fighting.

Because of her, Black refused to fight even though she would've been a great help in defending Beacon.

Everyone out there is probably having a harder time because of her. Even when scared, she was still being a burden to everyone.

This academy had been her home for the past few months. Now under attack, Mato did nothing to protect a place that was clearly precious to others.

Even Yomi...someone who had been through the exact same thing as her, tried to comfort her yet Mato brushed her aside.

She was too scared to be of help for anyone now.

...

So why?

Just why?

Why... was she here?

Mato just couldn't understand that.

"Mato please-"

"Why are you here Ruby?"

Ruby flinched.

Black turned her head.

Even Stella woke up.

"Of course I'm here!" Ruby replied, "we're friends aren't we?"

Mato cringed. It was that word again.

"Don't you have better things to do," Mato didn't want to drag Ruby down with her, "j-just... go away."

"Mato please, I'm sorry for what you went through on that night-"

Why is she apologising? Mato asked herself. She had no reason to apologise for what happened.

"But it isn't safe right now. Beacon is under attack. I need to get all of you to safety."

Mato had no reply.

She wasn't asking Mato and Black to fight even though she knew how powerful they were. Ruby was only concern about their safety and Mato's mental wellbeing.

"Look, if there is anything, anything! I can do to help just tell me." Ruby pleaded.

"There's nothing you can do..." Mato replied, "I...never wanted to be a huntress."

Ruby became a bit confused but mostly concerned. She thought Mato being ambushed and painfully toyed with was behind her behaviour but now she could see the problem had already stretched far from that.

"W-what do you mean?"

"I...We never asked to be here okay. We're just here because we needed a place to stay. We're not- well, at least I'm not even fit to be a huntress."

"What are you saying? Of course, you're fit to be a-"

"No, no you don't understand. I'm not brave like you. I'm not used to expecting danger that might threaten my life. I'm not like you. I'm not like the people from this world!"

Ruby was taken back by that last statement, "W-what?"

Mato didn't know what got into her but she ended up unloading everything.

She told Ruby everything.

About where she came from, what had happened since arriving in Remnant, the origins of their powers, the backgrounds that everyone came from and pretty much everything Mato had been hiding from the residents of Remnant.

Ruby listened without a word, nodding silently.

It all just came out. Everything she knew, even the facts she knew about the otherworlders, Mato told Ruby.

She was all over the place in terms of the order. She stuttered and pushed a lot and there were a lot of moments where she had to go back to reexplain things. Her explanation was so rushed and messy that there were times where even Mato herself couldn't understand what she was saying... so it was quite amazing that Ruby still managed to keep up.

"We don't have Grimm where I'm from. I wouldn't call it perfect but it's a much more peaceful world. I-I, I'm just a regular middle school girl. Can't you see...I'm scared! People are risking their lives and I'm not because I'm a coward! I was never fit for this type of thing. I thought I was but...but...I...I don't know okay! I don't know what to think anymore!"

Just like that, everything went silent.

Ruby stopped nodding as she silently looked at the ground. She was surprisingly calm considering what Mato just told her.

"You're right..." Ruby began, "I don't think I can help you. I'm not really experienced in world travel."

Mato began slowly burying herself in her bed, completely embarrassed. Of all people that Mato had to unload her worries on, it had to be Ruby who barely knew anything.

"Buuuut..."

Mato lifted her head.

"I'm sure there's someone around here who can help you," Ruby continued, remembering the time she met this one suspicious person, "you were sent here right? So obviously there's a way to send you back. Haven't seen that person in a while but once we find that someone, I'll force an answer out if I have to. So don't worry about not seeing your home again, you can count on me."

Mato couldn't believe how optimistic Ruby was being right now.

"So until then...Please get up. Survive. If you don't want to fight then...that's fine, it happens to everyone, so please don't blame yourself for that. I'll get you to the evacuation area, it's safe there. Once this whole ordeal is sorted out and defeat the bad guy...we'll find a way to send you home. We'll send you all home."

Mato was amazed. Ruby was only thinking about Mato's safety and well being. Despite being great friends, Ruby wasn't being selfish by wanting her to stay here. She was only concern about Mato's wellbeing.

"A-are you sure?"

"You said it yourself, you don't want to be a huntress right?"

"...Y-yeah." Mato felt guilty as she felt like she was disrespecting Ruby's dream.

"Well then, that officially makes you a citizen," Ruby took Mato's hand, "so as a proud huntress, it's my job to protect you."

Mato sat up and faced Ruby. Mato really couldn't understand the thinking behind the people of this world...but she didn't necessarily hate it. In this situation, it made Ruby feel even more of a person to rely on.

"...You're...taking all this surprisingly well." Mato pointed out. A bit off topic but something that caught Mato's curiosity.

"Well..." Ruby scratched her head as if she tried to find a nice way to say it, "you guys didn't really do a good job at 'not standing out', I mean the idea of other worlds existing did surprise me BUT it does explain A LOT of things I've seen. Not to mention, we were pretty much ready to expect anything after the cargo ship incident."

Another thing Mato didn't even think of or even spent the time to care. Ruby, Jaune and their teammates were probably terrified of what they saw on those cargo ships. Digital bosses from Kirito's world, titans from Levi's and shadows from Yuri's. Ruby was almost eaten alive once during that time. That alone should've been enough to traumatised someone...yet after returning, they were all awfully casual about the experience. Mato was too focused on herself that she didn't even think about ho Ruby and her friends must've felt. Mato never asked to be here...but Ruby never asked to go through any of this.

"Aren't you scared?"

"Of course we are!" Ruby replied a bit too cheerfully.

Mato gave her a strange confused look.

"Fear can get to the best of us. So like I said, don't blame yourself for being scared after what you went through. Believe it or not, there are a lot of strong people here who can easily relate with you. I mean sure, the sight of a grimm creature isn't unusual for us, but new species of grimm are discovered almost every day so the fear of not knowing what might come next is still there," Ruby explained, "and risking your life is no easy task either. Not everyone can do that."

There was no doubt that Ruby completely understood where Mato's fears were coming from.

"But that's exactly why some of us need to stand up. To protect those who are too scared to fight. I won't lie, what's happening to Beacon right now...is absolutely terrifying me! But if I can use to skills to save those precious to me...then that makes risking my life all the more worth it."

Mato was rendered speechless, Ruby was really amazing. The only thing Mato could say was, "...Thank you."

Ruby smiled brightly, "Don't mention it. Because no matter where you come from or what your background is like, we're still friends and that's what friends do for each other."

Mato stopped again.

it was that word again. Friends.

Noticing Mato's reaction at the word 'friends', Ruby gave her a second look, "We... are friends right?"

(FLASHBACKS)

"Hello. I'm Yuuki. Konno Yuuki, nice to meet you."

-o-o-

Neptune pulled Mato into the store, "Come on! It's time for more pudding!"

-o-o-

Miku smiled as she gave Mato her favourite green vegetable.

-o-o-

"Were all in the same position," Kirito announced, "so let's work together until we find a way home."

-o-o-

"Don't worry, once you get used to being the leader, it's actually pretty nice," Jaune advised.

-o-o-

"Alright, you all desperately need to learn some self-defence so let Strenght and me teach you the basics." Yuu declared.

-o-o-

"Mato, what's that?" Stella asked, looking at the TV, "How is there people inside there?"

-o-o-

Black stood in front of Mato, protecting her like a sentinel.

-o-o-

"You're worried that it's going to happen in real life and that you won't be able to help your comrades when they're in need. Am I correct?" Jason asked.

Mato nodded.

-o-o-

Ruby smiled brightly, "we're still friends and that's what friends do for each other."

-o-o-

(FLASHBACKS END)

Mato stood up and hugged Ruby, "Yeah...of course."

Ruby happily returned the hug.

It seemed Mato had finally decided what she had to do.

The two best friends stayed silent for a while.

Suddenly, Mato tensed.

Ruby noticed, "What's wrong?"

She let go of Mato and turned around to look.

The dorm door was open and standing right at the threshold of the door...was-

"Y-Yomi?" Mato had no idea how long Yomi had been standing there watching.

The green horned girl stared at both Ruby and Mato with wide creepy eyes.

One look and they could tell there was something wrong with Yomi's mental state.

Yomi couldn't process what she had just witnessed, "Oh, so now Mato seems to be alright now. That's odd- I mean good for her. What just happened? Mato was really depressed before. I guess it wasn't that bad then- wait no, it was bad, really really bad. Why do I feel strange hehehehe, I mean I should be happy for her- Why is Ruby here? Or does she have something to do with this? Don't tell me what Ruby said actually made Mato feel better. No, no, no, no, that can't be. That's impossible. I mean, I've been trying to comfort Mato for the past three days! And all Ruby did was say some stupid cheesy speech. That possibly couldn't be it. The has to be more to it! Why couldn't it have been me! I mean, this is good, Mato is fine now- Why is Ruby here?! Calm down Yomi, I'm sure it's just a misunderstanding. No seriously, why is Ruby here? Is her presence really necessary?"

The truth was that Jack's ambush and experiencing Jack's sadistic twisted nature first hand...never actually affected her. No, even after facing death in the face, she was way too focused on Mato to think about it. In fact, Being attacked by Jack and Mato having being traumatized from it looked more of an opportunity to Yomi rather than a trauma experience. With Mato blocking everyone out, Yomi thought this was finally her chance to close the gap between her relationship with Mato. But no...Mato completely ignored her too. Which led Yomi to a state of depression where she buried herself in her bed and from there, everyone except misunderstood her feelings...everyone except for Dead Master.

And then...Ruby comes out of nowhere and poof! Mato's suddenly fine now.

Yomi clutched her head and started scratching it, murmuring small things to herself. On the other hand, she summoned her scythe.

Watching from a distance, Sing-love whistled. It seems Sing-love's toying really left a number on Yomi's mind. She still giggled as Yomi reacted exactly how she had imagined. Because that's what humans were to her, predictable animals. Tick them the right way and they'll end up hurting even those precious to them. Exactly like how that one human betrayed Sing-love's heart.

Although...Ruby's appearance was something SIng-love didn't predict. She shrugged off the thought. Yomi was at the peek of her jealously now...all she needed was one more small push.

Using her speed, Sing-love flew past Yomi. She was fast enough to avoid Dead's attention yet slow enough to whisper one single statement into Yomi's ear:

"Looks like she replaced you."

Ruby let go and turned around.

The dorm door was open and standing right at the threshold of the door was Yomi.

"Y-Yomi?"

Yomi started murmuring something to herself which neither Ruby or Mato could hear.

"Oh I see...I got replaced, again. Mato doesn't need me anymore. That's funny, it feels like we've already been through this. Could it mean that I'm feeling jealous, again?...no, no, no, that can't be right. I learn from my mistakes after all and Mato isn't the type of person to ignore me right? So, so this is not like Mato at all, it can't be her. That's the problem, Mato just isn't being herself. I mean the Mato I know would never ignore...but she did though...but then again...ever since Mato met her, things did change. I think...I'm not sure...all I know is that it's all her fault- wait what, no, no, no that's not right- wait, yes, it is her fault. It all started after Mato met her. Yeah, yeah, that must be it. it must be her doing. Mato changed because of her. Okay, I see, I see. I think I get it. So, so, so, all I need to do is...get rid of Ruby...and after that, Mato will only have me and everything will go back to, yeah, that makes sense right? Of course, it does. Right! Everything will be back to normal in no time. I'll return things back just. The way. They were.

Ruby's aura reacted like alarm bells. Everything about Yomi's posture, facial expression and aura was just screaming at Ruby that she should run.

Mato, despite being friends with Yomi for quite some time now, had never seen Yomi make that type of expression, "Yomi?"

Yomi smiled.

Ruby reached for her weapon.

"Don't worry Mato, I'll fix this for you."

A chain wrapped around Ruby's neck.

Yomi pulled Ruby towards and swung her scythe.

Ruby blocked with her own scythe right at the last moment.

"Yomi! What are you-"

Dead Master jumped past Yomi and swung a scythe bigger than Yomi's directly at Ruby's face.

Ruby could've sworn she saw her life flash before her eyes. Yomi and Dead...were genuinely trying to kill her.

KLANG!

The red-haired looked up. Insane Black Rock Shooter was standing in front of her.

Ruy blinked incredulously, "Did Black just...protect me? No, that can't be ri-"

15 long chains were thrown at them. 8 at Ruby and 7 at her.

Black swung her lance, defecting the 8 chains directed at Ruby. Black noticed the chains were deflected and not broken by her lance.

The rest of the chain wrapped around Black's lance.

With her other arm, Black grabbed Ruby and placed Ruby behind her.

Gun turrets appeared on her lance and she opened fire at Yomi and Dead inside the dorm room.

"OMG she really is?!" Ruby thought to herself and as Black shielded her from all the bullets that ricochet off Dead's metal chains.

Having there being many small spaces the fly through, many bullets went straight past Dead Master's chains.

Dead Master defensively summoned more chains before jumping in front of Yomi, taking the remaining bullets for her,

Using this chance, Black grabbed Ruby without warning and jumped back, placing her a safe distance away from the battle right next to Mato.

Taking a couple of bullets didn't even faze her as she turned her head to face Black.

With Black protecting Mato and Ruby and Dead protecting Yomi, the two themselves faced each other, unintimidated by the other. If even one of them made a move too soon, it would leave the girls they're protecting completely defenseless to attacks.

Their death glares sent shivers down Ruby's spine.

It was a familiar feeling for Ruby.

A feeling she had felt before.

She had always watched Black and Dead fight from a distance so Ruby assumed what she felt was just their powerful auras.

But being this close now, Ruby realized she was mistaken. What she felt back then and what she was sensing right now wasn't their auras...

It was their pure killing intent.

Yomi completely ignored those two and looked at Ruby.

Ruby couldn't help but jump when she made eye contact with her.

Yomi titled her head, "Huh? That's strange, I could've sworn I aimed for your neck. Hmm, tell me Ruby, why haven't you disappeared yet? I th-"

Something flew past Yomi's face, almost grazing her.

Dead and Black stared. Even Stella was surprised.

She purposely didn't hit Yomi so it was probably meant to be a warning shot.

Ruby, who was still holding her rifle, turned her head...and looked at Mato.

There was steam coming out of the rock canon that she had just summoned.

It took Yomi a second to realise it was Mato who had shot at her. She was utterly shocked yet flabbergasted.

"YOMI!" Mato screamed causing Yomi to flinch, "STOP! STOP IT RIGHT NOW! WHY ARE YOU ATTACKING MY FRIEND!?"

The room went silent.

Mato froze as she had just realised what she had just said. She was so scared for Ruby's life that it seemed she got caught in the moment, completely forgetting that she was talking to Yomi.

Yomi took a hit from what Mato had just said. It wasn't a physical one but it still hurt, especially that last bit.

"E-eh?" Yomi placed her hands of her head, almost digging into her own skin with her nails, "W-why are you mad? I was doing this for us but why did you...How come Ruby's can have your...a-are we...are we just not friends anymore?"

Mato's eyes widened, "N-no, no no! Yomi that's not what I me-"

Yomi started screaming in pain. Everything about the situation was telling Ruby to run but she stayed put next to Mato.

Dead Master clutched her heart as it began to hurt.

Black...saw an opening and sprinted at her, swinging her lance.

"BLACK! NO DON'T-" Mato cried but was interrupted when the ground started shaking, causing her to trip.

Ruby's aura was really ringing like loud alarm bells now. She looked down and saw the ground started cracking.

Seeing an open window practically sparked Ruby's instincts as she grabbed Mato and dashed out of the dorm with her semblance.

Chains popped u from the ground and wrapped around Black's body.

These chains were incredibly durable and for the first time in a while, Black couldn't break them with her strength.

The ground beneath cracked open and emerging from the ground...

a giant tornado made completely of chains engulfed the entire dorm building.

Ruby stared. A view that was truly out of this world.

A tornado-shaped, tower of chains.

In the middle of the tornado was a large green pulsing light. The pulses sounded like heartbeats.

Ruby heard an unsettling noise which was then followed by them seeing something flying towards them.

As that something got closer, they realised it was someone.

It was Black. She crashed landed right near where Ruby and Mato were.

"BLACK!" Ruby ran to her.

Lending a hand, Black picked herself up with Ruby's aide. For Ruby, It felt nerve-wracking yet safe being so close to Black.

"Umm, A-Are you okay?" Ruby asked seeing that Black fell from a very high distance.

"I'm fine."

Ruby jumped as she didn't actually expect an answer.

"What have I done?" Mato fell to her knees, "This is all my fault. What do I do? I've put everyone in even more danger. How am I supposed to-"

Black placed a gentle hand on Mato's shoulder.

Ruby watched silently, letting the twins have their moment.

Kneeling to Mato's level, Black took Mato's hand and gave her an item.

(FLASHBACK: Ch. 45)

"Give this to her when she wakes up." Jason said softly as he placed an item in Black's hand.

Black looked at the item and instantly recognised it.

With nothing else to say, Jason turned to leave.

(FLASHBACK ENDS)

Mato looked at the item and instantly recognised it, "Where did you-"

"I'm counting on you."

With just those words, Mato knew exactly what Black wanted her to do.

Black stood up and faced Ruby.

Ruby mentally prepared herself for anything that Black might say to her. But what she didn't' expect was:

"What you said to her back there. Were you telling the truth?" Black asked, "Will you really protect her?

Ruby was surprised yet glad. Black would usually ignore everyone's existence besides Mato's. In fact, she had just realised that Black shared the exact same voice as Mato's but just in a very different tone.

Ruby smiled proudly, " Of course! Leave it to me!"

"Thank you." It was brief and quiet yet Ruby heard it loud and clear. There was no emotion present in her expression and Black's tone sounded like a mysterious song with no words... yet to Ruby it somehow felt genuine.

With nothing else to say, Black faced the tower of chains and sprinted towards it. She sprinted so fast that she left a tiny crater where her foot used to be. Ruby even felt the wind blow against her.

With that, Black was gone.

Mato and Ruby weren't even given a moment to rest as they heard weird bone sound footsteps behind them.

They turned around and found out why the footsteps sounded like bones...because it was a horde of walking armed skeletons.

The girl stood up and went by Ruby's side, keeping the item Black gave her safe in her fist.

"You ready?" Ruby asked.

"...yeah, let's go. I'm sorry for bringing you into this."

"Don't mention. I'm going to be an official huntress one day after all," Ruby transformed her scythe into a rifle.

Mato pulled out her blade and summoned her rock cannon around the fist where she kept the item, "Thank you."

They both charged forward.

Standing right in the middle of the skeleton horde, holding a blackish green scythe with horns on her head... Yomi waited as two giant skulls hovered above her.

Ruby Rose & Mato Kuroi vs Yomi Takanashi

Running towards the huge tower of chains, Black felt what humans called 'deja vu'. She remembered the last time Dead Master had done this before.

Black's lance detached from her body with only a chain keeping the two together.

But of course...

She threw it at the tower and it pierced the outer wall. The lance fired bullets everywhere. Since there was a long chain keeping the two together, Black jumped and literally flew towards the place she had thrown her lance. The distance was just enough for Black to gather enough to smash through the tornado's walls.

Things were very different now.

Black was inside now.

And inside the tower...was nothing but a giant spider web made completely of chains. To avoid falling to the bottom, Black had to grab onto one of the chains and hang from it. This was definitely bigger than the last chain tower Dead Master had made.

Black exceeded Dead Master a long time ago in terms of head to head combat. But now Black was in Dead Master's custom-made battlefield. This battle was going to be a very different story.

The chain Black was hanging onto suddenly moved and pulled her upwards. As she was pulled up, Black made multiple hard collisions with other metal chains which also wrapped around her after collision.

At the very top, Dead was waiting with her scythe.

She didn't have to wait long as her chains brought Black to the top in no time.

These chains were extremely powerful. Before Black could shatter Dead's chains like glass but now, she was completely helpless wrapped in them.

In this situation, Black was no different to a wrapped present ready for Dead to slice open.

Swinging her scythe, Dead Master landed a heavy deep wound from her right shoulder to her left hip. Blood splattered everywhere.

The chains let go of Black only to make way for Dead to swing her weapon downwards, sending Black back down to the bottom of the tower. The tower was really tall so her landing was not going to be smooth if Black did nothing.

As she fell, Black pulled out her blade and stabbed it into the wall, preventing her from falling. She then aimed her lance and opened fire.

Dead lifted her arm and hundreds of chains flew towards her.

Just like the old times, where they would fight until there is only one winner.

This was the beginning of yet another one of their gruesome duels.

Insane Black Rock Shooter vs Dead Master

Inside the school, Yuu and Strenght were running through one of the hallways they had already cleared when suddenly:

"LOOK!"

Yuu looked where Strenght pointed and saw the entire dorm area had been engulfed by a tower of chains. It was so big

"Those chains. Something must've happened to Yomi." Strength observed.

Yuu was instantly filled with worry, "But Mato and Kagari are still there."

"Don't worry, knowing Black and Chariot, even if it is Dead Master, they wouldn't let anything happen to Mato or Kaga..." Strength and Yuu came to a halt as someone stood in their way, "Well speak of the devil."

Yuu's face lit up with relief, "KAGARI!"

She ran towards her, "Thank goodness you're alright! Where's Mato? Did something happen between her and Yomi?"

"..."

"Kagari? What's wrong?" Yuu asked noticing Kagari's silence, she noticed something else, "Where's Chariot?"

"Yuu be careful!" Strength warned, "Something about her doesn't feel right."

"What are you talking about? This is Kagari we're tal-"

Both Yuu and Strength froze. Kagari smiled.

They both looked up at the ceiling.

Yuu got her answer.

Chariot fell from the ceiling.

Strength jumped forward and threw two of her orge arms at her.

Chariot blocked with her shield but was knock backed across the hallway.

She would've crashed into the wall if Chariot hadn't dug her sharp wheels into the ground to stop herself.

"Wait, how was Chariot able to hang on the ceiling?" Strength got her answer sooner than she thought as she felt a small spider crawling up her back.

She quickly realized it wasn't a spider but Chariot's pet and Kagari's ex-doll, Mary in a smaller size.

Before she could react, Mary grew larger until she was as big as the hallway and tackled Strength her in Chariot's direction.

"STRENGHT!" Yuu went to help but Kagari stopped her with her sword.

"Now where do you think you're going?"

"K-Kagari?! What are-"

"Sshh! I won't accept any excuses from you Yomi."

Yuu blinked a few times, "Eh?"

A very scary smile that Yuu had never seen before appeared on Kagari's face, "You're mine after all."

Jack just laughed, "Oh frick! I was so focused on Mato and Yomi...that I completely forgot that I messed up Kagari's mind."

Chariot and Strength face each other.

Chariot got ready to attack while Strength prepared to defend.

Yuu Koutari & Strength vs Kagari Izuriha & Chariot

...

With Blanc's destructive power speeding the job up, another hallway was cleared by team STAB.

However, another problem had shown itself.

"WHERE'S SHIDO!?" Asuna asked.

Tooru and Blanc both looked around in shock.

Shido had completely disappeared.

Just when she was about to order a search party, Asuna received the answer she had dreaded.

"hehehe." Kurumi's giggles echoed through the hallways.

Blanc got really frustrated. Ever since they appeared, Blanc had been hearing Kurumi's taunting giggles nonstop and it was starting to anger her, "YOU SNEAKY LITTLE B*TCH! WHERE THE F*CK DID YOU-"

"Hmmm~Hmmm~Hmmm~" A beautiful voice sang.

Team STAB couldn't tell where the humming was coming from.

"Everyone be careful! Stay together!" Asuna ordered.

Tooru readied his shield while Blanc prepared to strike with her weapon.

They slowly proceeded across the hallway until they reached a place where they had to turn a corner.

"Hmmm~Hmmm~Hmmm~"

They heard footsteps. Asuna told her teammates to be extra quiet as she pulled back her blade.

Asuna jumped around the corner and swung her weapon.

KLANG!

Yuuki looked at Asuna and Asuna looked at Yuuki.

Realising that they had actually attacked each other accidentally, they both pulled back their weapon. They both ended up laughing about it.

Levi, Nepgear and Otonashi soon followed.

Team STAB and KNOL regrouped and discussed.

"Shido should be fine, from what Shido told me about her, Kurumi wouldn't kill him," Blanc said.

"I'm still not sure," Asuna wanted to slap herself for being careless.

"It couldn't be helped," Tooru tired to assure Asuna, "the appearance of those walking skeletons was unexpected. It was hard to keep track on anything with so many increasing enemies.

"So you fought those skeletons too?" Nepgear asked.

"They were just more small fry," Blanc replied, "they all shattered like glass."

"Anything would with your force." Otonashi added.

"What did you just say?!"

"OI! No childish fighting!" Levi scolded.

"The skeletons probably have something to do with that giant tower of chains," Tooru observed, "they all started appearing after that tower appeared."

"Aren't those the skeletons that Dead Master can summon?" Nepgear asked out of concern.

"Now that you mention it, yeah they are. Oh great! Does that mean Dead is our enemy now?" Otonashi replied, a bit intimidated.

"Let's hope not. But even if that is the case, I think we should leave that to Black and co to handle," said Asuna.

Levi agreed, "Whatever is going on over there, it's clearly their business. If it's those four, I doubt there's anything we can do. We should focus on reestablishing contact with team KSYS, KNPY, TINN and SKYJ."

"Right, they're not answering their calls so something must be wrong," Tooru added, he was especially worried about Julie.

Noticing that Yuuki had been awfully silent during the conversation, Asuna asked, "What's wrong Yuuki?"

"That humming... your team heard it too right?" Yuuki asked, still looking around with caution.

"Yeah, but it was hard to tell wh-"

"Hmmm~Hmmm~Hmmm~"

"There it is again!" Otonashi cocked his gun but didn't know where to aim.

"Who's there!" Blanc demanded.

Yuuki looked around and for split second...she saw a strand of white hair, "THERE!"

"Yuuki wait-"

Too late, Yuuki was already on her way to follow the humming woman. The two teams had no choice but to follow after her.

Yuuki had stopped at the entrance of the library door which was opened.

The two teams caught up.

Asuna panted for breath, she had been fighting all day, "Yuuki. Don't run off like..."

The two teams looked inside the library.

Someone was sitting at one of the tables, reading a book about History.

The school was evacuated so that itself was suspicious. Of course, both Team STAB and KNOL knew who she was.

"Human's are such miserable creatures," Sing-love commented, "wars, conflicts, betrayal...how predictable."

Asuna and Yuuki got into their battle posture.

Levi changed his twin swords into two shotguns.

Otonashi readied his gun.

Tooru raised his shield.

Nepgear and Blanc transformed.

Sing-love shut the book she was reading.

She stood up and leaned her giant white scythe on the back of her neck, "Natsu and Naruto showed me quite the interesting show just now. Although I barely got a chance to fight back so if you don't mind, I'll be using you humans to let out a little steam...if you're worth my time that is."

Team STAB & KNOL vs White Rock Shooter

Evacuating students screamed as walking skeletons emerged from the cracking grounds.

Oobleck pushed up his glasses, "This has been quite the day don't you agree."

"I say it's a story to tell for another day." Port replied.

"Professors, please. I would appreciate if you took this a little bit more seriously." Goodwitch sighed.

"But of course!" Oobleck replied as he had one last sip of coffee before deploying his weapon, "It is our duty to protect the students after all."

Sir...none of our attacks are working..."

Ironwood stood there looking at the enemy.

They had been going at the mothership's forcefield for way too long and no progress.

It created a bitter stalemate since there had been no serious damage to Ironwood's air fleet either.

Since the first appearance, the enemy mothership hadn't made a single move besides deploying troops.

"Attention all forces!" Ironwood announced, his voice was projected to every speaker and communication device, "The enemy forcefield has officially been deemed impenetrable. I want every single Paladin, Knight, squadron and soldier focused on the ground and assisting those who are already defending Beacon! You are all to engage this threat as if you were facing a grimm horde, I repeat: ignore the mothership and protect Beacon Academy."

With that command, all of Ironwood's force went to work.

"Send our forces facial data of all the students who are already down there fighting. If seen, order our men to NOT to open fire."

"Roger that."

An image of everyone from all the teams who were fighting appeared in the screens.

There were currently a total of 10 teams believed to be on the ground fighting, equaling up to 40 huntsmans and huntresses in training.

Grimm were attracted to negative emotions similar to how moths were attracted to light.

The current attack on Beacon was striking fear in a lot of students.

Usually, the school would've been flooded by now.

...

If Jason hadn't interfered that is.

Summoning a thousand machines guns, cannons, lasers and missile launchers, Jason annihilated every single grimm that even tried to get close to close.

While all the otherworlders and residents of Remnant did their job, Jason did his.

...

At least that's what Jason told himself.

Purple Heart looked in horror.

Iris Heart was losing. Painfully.

She was helpless as there was a giant boulder of ice on top of her. To add on to that, Purple Heart could feel her energy slowly fading away along with his consciousness.

Iris Heart screamed in agony.

Purple clenched her fist in frustration.

(FLASHBACK)

"I would've felt lonely being here. But it's been really really fun here. I'm glad I got stuck in this world with you neppy. I'm also glad I got to meet Kotori and Yoshiny. I feel really happy when we're together."

(FLASHBACK END)

"I just need..." Purple Heart struggled as she grabbed the share crystal that Jason had given her since day one, "m-more... power."

She crushed it. Causing share energy to flow through her body.

The giant ice boulder on top of her shattered to many pieces.

Inverse Kotori and Yoshino turned to face Purple Heart who was now flying directly towards them.

Yoshino sent a tornado of snow.

Kotori fired a whirlwind of blue fire.

Purple gathered lots of energy into her sword, "Cross Combination!"

A large explosion was heard. An explosion that began the fight for the restoration of Team KNPY.

8 people still remained to attack Beacon.

A/N END! So you may be asking. Am I becoming a dead account? ...To be honest, even I don't know at this point. It's the beginning of a new year and I just began senior high school so much more homework and assessments for me to do, sorry if that sounds like I'm making up excuses but what I'm trying to say is I'm going to have less time to write this year so don't expect chapters to come soon. They WILL come, I can assure you that but you might have to wait a while.

I guess while you're waiting, if you really like gigantic crossovers like this one then you could go check out damnlastwords, XP4Universe and someonestupED. Because unlike me these guys are actually consistent when it comes to posting chapters. Although unfortunately I haven't been given time to read their stories so I am REALLY behind.

As for this story. As you can see, there's A LOT of things all happening at once. So I'm going to handle these *One at a time* okay, chapter by chapter. Chapters focused on fighting may be shorter chapter than usual ones since the type of battle I write tend to get boring if it drag for too long.

I also decided to completely forget the Japanese English thing between the character. All characters speak the same language now. I was originally going to have a scne where one character would lose their translator and end up having to interact with Ruby's or Jaune's team without speaking the same lanaguage. But there were too many things already going on and it was just too much extra work so I decided to scrap it.

Anyways, sorry for any typoes and I hope you enjoyed. Once again, thank you for everything and I promised to continue this series until the very end.

So yeah...till next time!

...

...

...

...

In a pocket dimension right beneath Remnant's existence.

...

...

...

Amy was a Dimensional Rebel. With the amazing ability to create anything made of crystals or gems, Amy became a rebel for one reason. Because she was bored. In that way, it made her kinda similar to Jack. But other than that, the only other reason why she knew Jack was because there are just some times where dimentional rebels have to stay together in order to avoid being erased. They are wanted criminals after all. Amy almost regretted becoming a rebel because of that for she preferred to go solo. To things how she wanted to do them. Despite being lazy and laid back at some times, her character was no pushover. Even if the rules supported you, telling her what to do was equivalent for asking a death wish from her. Being around others annoyed her to no end and for many years she had sought a way to achieve the cure to her boredom...while also being alone.

"So why..." Jake, the dimensional rebel of stars, asked with a cheeky grin, "is someone like you, acting as Jack's handyman."

Amy groaned as if she was tired, "Will you please be quiet."

"Let me guess, did Jack promise he would-"

"Be quiet."

"Okay, okay."

Jake observed what Amy was doing.

There was a huge crack on the edge of this empty dimension. A dimension that represented Remnant's wellbeing. Amy was currently trying to fix the crack although it was already quite big so it was going to take a while. Amy yawned.

Suddenly, the ground shook and the crack grew larger, frustrating Amy even further.

"...Well someone is having fun."

"Are you going to help or n..." Amy stopped and looked at Jake as if he had just done the dumbest thing.

"What? Something on my face?" Jake asked.

"Where's Alice? I thought she was chasing you." Amy asked.

"Oh that, don't worry I shook her off my tail."

Amy faced palmed in frustration, "No, no, no. Jake you idiot. You do realize this is ALICE were talking about?"

"Yeah, what about it?" Jake asked, completely clueless.

"Jake listen to me. I've been chased by her before okay so I know her. You can't simply 'shake her off your tail', she's not that type of person. Until she changes target. she will keep chasing you and no matter where, she WILL eventually find you."

"Oh come on!" Jake didn't buy it, "I know Alice. She's not THAT obsessed with her prey."

Suddenly, an uninvited portal appeared not far from where Jake and Amy stood.

"You were saying."

"...AH!"

"You idiot. They're going to ruin everything."

Emerging from the portals, were two individuals: Alice, Dimensional Traveler of Ice and Marcus, Dimensional Traveller of Chronicles.

"Great. Just great." Amy commented.

"Amy!" Marcus called as he saw the crack that Amy was fixing, "it is quite the honour to finally see you do your job as a traveler. Are you looking to reform?"

Jake hummed in agreement as he joked "I know right! Why the change of heart Amy?"

Amy just groaned, she murmured to herself, "what does a maiden have to do to get get a little bit of privacy around here."

"You're a maiden?"

Amy wanted to crush Jake's skull right about at that moment. She glared.

"Oh come on now, were BOTH wanted criminals you know. If we're going to get out of this pinch, it's going to have to be together-"

"Handle it yourself."

"EH?"

"Can't you see I'm busy fixing this crack."

"But can't handle BOTH of them!" Jake reasoned.

"That's your problem. It's your fault their here after all."

"You know they'll come for you afterward!"

"Don't worry, I'll be gone before they erase you."

"What do you mean DON'T WORRY?!"

"Okay, that's enough banter for one day," Marcus interrupted as he cut straight to the chase, "Where's Jack?"

"Did someone say my name!"

Everyone looked up as a red and black portal appeared. Jack emerged from the sky and landed right next to Jake and Amy.

...

"You were just waiting for Marcus to say your name so you could have a cooler entrance weren't you?" Jake guessed.

"Jake you know me way too well."

"Nice to see you too Jack."

Amy groaned even louder.

In response, Jack gave Amy the brightest, sweetest and most innocent smile he could muster, "Hey Amy! I just wanted to let you know how thankful I am for all your hard work."

"Go kill yourself."

"Dude, what exactly did you promise her?"

"Come here,"

Jake leaned in closer as Jack whispered something into his ear.

When he got his answer, all Jake could say was, "OOOOOOHHHH!"

Marcus cleared his throat while Alice started silently.

"Marcus!" Jack greeted as if they were already friends, "How nice of you to drop in for a visit."

"What are you up to Jack?" Marcus interrogated.

"Oh umm, I'm writing a giant crossover. I'm not sure whether you've noticed but there's aaa... giant crack in the wall, it's...kinda obvious." Jack replied.

"Jack, you have to stop this. The clash between all those otherworlders will end up destroying Remnant." Marcus warned.

"Don't worry, I got everything under complete control."

Marcus looked at the giant crack on the wall, "is that so?"

"Oh please, even I know my limits," Jack replied.

Amy and Jake both gave Jack a hesitant look.

"Oh come on!"

"This is your last warning Jack...stop this, NOW!" Marcus demanded.

"Yeah- no can do. Sorry, but as you can see I'm having a bit to much fun. So it would be a big shame to quit now." Jack stayed firm with his decision.

Marcus sighed, "You know...good villains are actually meant to have a good motivation."

"Thanks for the advice, I'll keep that in mind when I do my next stunt." Jack grinned as he got ready for battle, "you two are free to come at us. But if we win...you have to pretend you saw none of this."

"Consider it a deal."

Marcus, Alice, Jake and Jack all gathered high amounts of energy.

Despite the change of atmosphere, Amy yawned.

They all simultaneously prepared their weapons, powers and abilities.

Marcus then flipped a coin.

...

The coin hit the ground and with no hesitation:

They all yelled at the same time, "CHARACTER SUMMON:"

"All for One!"

"Pirate Emperor: Kaido!"

"Symbol of Peace: All Might."

Marcus lifted his Kane and brought it down to the ground, "The One Punch Man: Saitama!"

Meanwhile,

Kate, the dimensional traveler of sound, listened to music on her headphones... while also sneaking her way onto the mothership with no one noticing.

This chapter was finished on 3/02/2019

Still remeber Charter summoning? yeah that will still be thing in this series.
