Hello and welcome to chapter 3. In the first chapter we saw what the Horyus were doing after Xehanort and in the second chapter we saw the reactions of everyone else. Now the moment is here where they will meet Maria Hill, the leader of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s eastern division. Not only that, but stick around until the end because the Horyus will meet a certain superhero team at last. Also, be prepared for a certain someone making an appearance for his own amusement.
Now just to remind the rest of you, for Naruto, The Horyus takes place after the events of Shippuden, specifically, one year after the Fourth Shinobi World War, so the Akatsuki are already dead and the Sound has already been reformed, which is why I didn't include them in the first Horyus and why I didn't include them in the first two chapters of this instalment. So if you were hoping for the Akatsuki or the Sound Village to be allies with Hydra, well I'm sorry if I disappointed you. However, I'll let you know what I have in store.
PS: I've heard your suggestions and I'll take them into consideration, starting with one anime in particular along with one I already had planned to be in the Horyus Universe.
Chapter 3:
In Japan one week later, Sakura was already late for school as usual. She had already left her house with everything she needed for school, but she was not prepared for what she was about to be treated to. Upon reaching her school she was greeted by a huge crowd of people wanting her autograph and balling out about her.
"It's Sakura, she's here," said one of the fans.
The crowd of fans quickly surrounded her like vultures to a carcass.
"Sakura Kinomoto, you're so amazing," said a fan.
"How did you get your magical powers," said another fan.
"Where are your fellow Horyus," said a third fan.
"What do you plan to do today," said a fourth fan
But while the fans were doing what they could to get an interaction with Sakura, Sakura herself was feeling squished and smothered. She only wanted to get to school and do her usual things, but this crowd of fans was not helping her. "Guys, help me…!"
Soon Toya showed up and shoved the fans away from his sister. "Alright everyone, back off…! My sister needs to get to school and you're blocking her way…!"
While Toya handled the fans Sakura made her way into the campus, safe at last. Once in the campus, she was greeted by her friends, Rika, Naoko, and Chiharu who all gave her some much needed comfort.
"Are you alright Sakura," Naoko asked.
"Yeah, I think so," Sakura panted. "I can't believe so many people wanted to get that close to me."
"Well, you are a full on superhero now," Rika pointed out. "It's only natural that so many people would want to be near you."
"I guess, but that was too much," Sakura sighed.
"Well, let's just get to class," said Chiharu. "They can't come in here unless they want to break in."
Sakura agreed and went with her friends to class. Once they got to their class, many of their classmates gasped upon seeing Sakura and made way for her and her friends as they walked to their desks. While Sakura was okay with getting to her desk on time for a change, she was still not comfortable with having so many fans, even in her class. Pushing that aside, she got to work on today's assignment, despite not knowing what said assignment was yet.
Soon, Sakura was greeted by familiar faces. Waiting for her were Syaoran, Meilin, Tomoyo, and, to her surprise, Eriol, whom she hadn't seen in almost a year.
"Eriol," Sakura gasped.
"Good to see you again, Sakura," Eriol greeted.
"What brings you back to Japan," Sakura asked with curiosity. "And Syaoran, I thought you and Meilin had gone home by now."
Eriol explained, "As you know Sakura, you and those five other individuals, Naruto, Inuyasha, Spiro, Aang, and Sora have recently formed a group you call as the Horyus. Everyone in our world saw your battle with Xehanort and now many people know about your powers and your identity as a magical girl. I'm surprised you never used the Erase Card to wipe out everyone's memories, though I suppose there's no point in doing that now. Bottom line, events are about to unfold that will test both you and your new friends."
Suddenly, their new teacher came into the room and introduced herself. "Good morning class. I am Mariko Yashida and I'll be your history teacher for this semester."
"Good morning Mrs. Yashida," everyone in the class spoke.
"Now then, to start with I will call you out by name," said Mariko while looking at her list. "Sakura Kinomoto?"
"Here…!"
Mariko checked Sakura off and moved on to the next student on her list. "Tomoyo Daidouji?"
"Here…!"
Mariko checked Tomoyo off. "Rika Sasaki?"
"Here…!"
Mariko checked Rika off. "Syaoran Li?"
"Here…!"
Mariko checked Syaoran off. "Meiling Li?"
"Here…!"
Mariko checked Meilin off. "Takashi Yamazaki?"
"Here…!"
Mariko checked Takashi off. "Chiharu Mihara?"
"Here…!"
Mariko checked Chiharu off. "Naoko Yanagisawa?"
"Here…!"
Mariko checked Naoko off. "Eriol Hiragizawa?"
"Here…!"
Mariko checked Eriol off.
As the class went on, Mariko called upon the names of everyone who was participating in her class, making sure she did not miss anyone. Those that did not reply when she called out their names, she marked them as absent or late whenever they showed up after she called their names. When she was done with rollcall, she turned her attention to the day's assignment.
At Higurashi Shrine, Kagome her friends from the feudal era were telling stories about their adventures to her friends from the modern era.
"But just when Taigokumaru was about to kill Shiori's mother, I came in and counter attacked with my Backlash Wave," Inuyasha explained. "And without the protection of his barrier, the old bat met his demise at the hands of my sword."
"Wow, that's amazing," Yuka said in amazement.
"I can't believe that the old bat actually killed his own son just because he was doing something he believed in," Ayumi said sadly. "And even what he did with his granddaughter. How cruel…!"
"But it doesn't end there," Inuyasha informed. "When I tried to break the crystal Shiori had, Taigokumaru's spirit actually came out of it and attempted to kill her and her mother. But he was stopped at the last second by Shiori's father, and I finished him off for good."
"Good riddance," said Eri.
"Tell me about it," Kagome sighed. "And thanks to us, Shiori is finally living a better life with her mother."
Suddenly, Naruto, Sora, and Aang showed up riding Spiro's back, with Hinata, Kairi, and Katara, riding on Tasha's.
"If you think doing that is hard, try protecting more than one child," Spiro pointed out. "Tasha and I once had to protect four sibling dragon chicks from a man named Henry Elvis and his fellow dragon slayers."
"Huh, what are you guys doing here," Inuyasha asked.
"We just came here for a friendly visit," Aang replied.
"Yeah, and we are a team now, right," Naruto asked.
Suddenly, Kagome's friends were all over Naruto, Aang, Sora and Spiro. "Oh my god it's the Horyus…!"
"Naruto you're such a strong ninja," Eri praised Naruto the way Sakura Haruno used to praise Sasuke.
"Yeah, I get that a lot," Naruto blushed.
"This dragon must be Spiro," Yuka took a closer look at Spiro.
"Indeed, Lass," Spiro answered politely.
"Are you sure this kid is a monk," Ayumi asked while looking at Aang.
"You could always ask me yourself, you know," Aang tilted his head.
"How did you obtain the Keyblade Sora," Eri asked the young Keyblade Wielder.
"It's a long story," Sora expressed.
Miroku, Sango, Shippo and Kilala soon walked up to them and were amazed to see Inuyasha's allies from the battle with Xehanort. They were quick to recognize Naruto, Aang, Sora, Spiro, Katara, and Tasha from the battle at Mount Fuji, but were unfamiliar with Hinata and Kairi.
"So, you're the one Naruto was trying to rescue from Xehanort," said Miroku as he observed Hinata.
"Ah, yeah," Hinata answered before gasping upon feeling a hand on her butt.
"I must say, I can see and feel why he wanted to save you so much," said Miroku as he rubbed Hinata's butt.
Naruto and Sango were about to strike Miroku for that action, but then Hinata retaliated in her own way. Activating her Byakugan, Hinata struck Miroku with her Gentle Fist in a certain spot on the monk's body, sending him flying into the shrine well and knocking him out instantly. This moment shocked everyone, and when they looked at Hinata's face, they became a bit intimidated by her face, especially Naruto as this was a part of his new girlfriend he had never seen before. The only ones were not too intimidated were Spiro and Tasha, but mostly Tasha.
"Yikes," Sora gasped.
"Are you sure that she was kidnapped by that Xehanort guy," Yuka asked. "I find it really hard to believe that someone like her could become a damsel in destress."
"Obviously, life is full of surprises," Tasha stated. "And what's even harder to believe is that Kairi is a Keyblade Master and she was also kidnapped."
"Though to be fair, she was injured when that happened so she couldn't fight back," Katara pointed out.
"So what brings you guys here," Kagome asked.
"We were going to check up on you and Sakura," Sora explained.
"Problem is, we don't know where Sakura's school is," Naruto laughed sheepishly.
"And you want us to show you where it is," Inuyasha asked.
"Correct," Spiro answered politely.
Inuyasha then answered, "Very well, get on Kagome."
Kagome got onto Inuyasha's back and he took off towards Tomoeda Middle School with Naruto, Aang and Sora following on Spiro's back and Hinata, Katara, and Kairi on Tasha's. But little did they know that they were being watched by spies.
"Director, the Horyus have arrived and they're heading straight for Tomoeda," said a spy through his comlink.
"Follow them," said the director. "Don't let them out of your sight."
At Tomoeda Middle School, the class was over and everyone was on their way out. As Sakura walked by, Mariko gave her a friendly wave and she waved back. Once outside the classroom, Sakura and Tomoyo commented on Mariko.
"She's beautiful," Tomoyo said to Sakura.
"Yeah," Sakura agreed.
Kero poked his head out and said, "She's part of the legendary Yashida Clan."
"Kero," Sakura gasped while trying to hide Kero.
Sakura and Tomoyo ducked into a bush before anyone could notice. Once they were sure no one was looking, they spoke.
"Kero, what are you doing here," Sakura questioned.
"I was board playing the new game over and over again," Kero answered. "But why are you still trying to hide me? Everyone knows about your powers now, so what's the point of even hiding me anymore?"
"For one, I still want to live a normal life," Sakura answered bluntly. "I don't know how much of the attention I'm getting I can take."
"But Sakura, I think it's a blessing that you've got all of this attention now," Tomoyo said dreamingly.
Sakura sweat dropped upon hearing Tomoyo say that.
Suddenly, Chiharu showed up and said, "Oh there you are, Sakura."
"Chiharu," Sakura gasped in surprise. "What are you doing here?"
"Your friends, the Horyus have arrived to see you," Chiharu answered. "And they're with Yamazaki, unfortunately."
Sakura looked up and saw that her friends were marveling at the Horyus, with Naoko going all fangirl on Inuyasha, Spiro and Tasha, and Yamazaki telling lies in his usual faction to the others. Aang could tell right away that he was lying and informed the others.
"Oh my kami," Naoko fangirled. "Real live dragons and a real live yokai samurai… I never thought I would actually see either with my own eyes…!"
"Uh, okay," Inuyasha replied.
"Much appreciated, young lass," Spiro politely said. "But we are here to see Sakura Kinomoto. Is she present?"
"Seriously," Naruto gasped. "You guys had ninjutsu at one point?"
Yamazaki was telling one of his lies and Naruto actually believed it. "Indeed. In fact one of our best ninjutsu users was…"
Before he could go further, Chiharu came and strangled him comically in her usual faction. "Alright, that's enough out of you, Yamazaki…! When will you learn to stop telling lies like that…!"
Naruto, and the others were surprised when Sakura entered the scene.
"What is she doing to him," Aang asked.
"Believe me, this happens all the time," Sakura answered, feeling a bit embarrassed. "Yamazaki tells a story that's not true and Chiharu does something like this to him."
"She reminds me of my teammate, Sakura back home," Naruto commented.
"You're talking about Miss Haruno, right," Sakura Kinomoto asked.
"Yeah," Naruto confirmed. "You saw what happened the night we first met. She struck Appa so hard that she sent him flying in the other direction. And trust me you don't want to make her mad."
In Konoha, Sakura Haruno was hanging out with Ino when she suddenly sneezed.
"Sakura, are you alright," Ino asked.
"Yeah," Sakura answered. "I think someone's talking about me."
Back at Tomoeda Middle School, Sakura Kinomoto was still talking with her fellow Horyus and got strait to her point. "Okay, what are you guys doing here?"
"We came by to check up on you," Aang replied.
"And you had to do it while I was still in school," Sakura questioned.
"That's what I told them," Kagome replied. "But my husband wouldn't listen to me when I told him that."
"Will you just get over it, Kagome," Inuyasha asked.
"Don't make me tell you to," Kagome warned as Inuyasha backed off before she could say Sit.
Aang then sensed something and said, "We'll have to argue later! We've got company…!"
Before the Horyus could react, they were surrounded by S.H.I.E.L.D. agents. Among them were Black Widow, Hawkeye, and Mocking Bird, surprising everyone on campus.
"Hey, what's going on," Tomoyo gasped.
"Horyus, by the authority of S.H.I.E.L.D., you are to come with us to the Prime Minister's Office immediately," said Black Widow.
"What," Sakura gasped.
"Don't make this any harder than it needs to be," said Hawkeye before he joked. "After all, this is a school and we don't want you being suspended for life."
Everyone sweat dropped.
"What," said Hawkeye.
"Really, Hawkeye," said Mocking Bird. "That's what you came up with?"
"As I was saying, get in the cars," said Black Widow. "Anyone directly associated with them must also board the vehicles."
Not far away, Toya and Yukito were walking along the streets together, just hanging out as friends, maybe even more. Accompanying them was Nakuru Akizuki, who had arrived in Japan around the same as Eriol and was now reuniting herself with the two.
"So you're saying that what happened here in Japan happened everywhere," said Toya.
"I'm afraid so," Nakuru confirmed. "The Heartless and Nobodies appeared in cities all around the world and we were far from the only ones trying to keep things under control."
"I still can't believe it," said Yukito. "First the Sealed Card incident, then the Xehanort incident, what's next…?"
Suddenly as if on que the trio came across Tomoeda Middle School when they noticed all of the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents and vehicles surrounding the campus. Curious and concerned, they ran towards the area to find out what was going on. But when they got close enough, they were stopped in their tracks by several S.H.I.E.L.D. agents.
"Hey what's going on," Toya asked.
"It's government business, sir," said an agent. "You'll have to back off."
"My sister goes to this school," Toya pointed out. "Let me in."
Suddenly Yukito noticed something startling and called Toya, "Toya look…!"
Toya looked to where Yukito was pointing and was horrified with what he saw. There was Sakura and the other Horyus along with their loved ones being held by the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents and taken into some of the vehicles to be taken to the Prime Minister's office. "Hey, that's my sister…!"
Soon enough, their leader showed herself. "Toya Kinomoto, I'm Maria Hill, director of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s eastern division."
"Is that supposed to mean something to me," Toya questioned.
"We're dealing with a security threat and we'll need to take your sister and her new friends to downtown Tokyo for interrogation," Maria told him.
"Do you mean arrest her," Toya questioned. "My sister didn't do anything wrong…!"
"We know," said one of the agents. "We just want to discuss a few things with her and her friends. I assure you, it's for her protection and the protection of everyone in Tomoeda, and the world for that matter."
"You want to run that by me again, blondie," Toya snapped.
"Stand down, Agent Thompson," Maria ordered. "I'll handle this. You make sure that the Horyus and their allies are escorted to the prime minister office."
"Yes Ma'am," said Agent Thompson.
Maria then turned her attention towards Yukito and Nakuru and said, "And that includes you, Yukito Tsukishiro and Nakuru Akizuki."
Not wanting to let Sakura face whatever S.H.I.E.L.D. had planned for them on her own, despite knowing that she had friends with her already, Yukito and Nakuru both agreed to go to the prime minister's office. But before they left, Yukito reassured Toya that everything was going to be alright and Nakuru did the same. The two then entered one of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s vehicles and they were off.
In Western Tokyo in a small town known as Karakura, a young man was walking down the streets to his recently acquired job. He stood 1.81 meters (5'11") tall, had spiky orange hair, peach skin and brown eyes. This was Ichigo Kurosaki, a former substitute soul reaper who lost his powers about 13 months ago after defeating a rogue soul reaper named Sosuke Aizen, who threatened to destroy the spirit world. Ever since then he had been doing his best to adapt to his now "normal" life while his friends maintained their powers.
Eventually, Ichigo arrived at the building with a sign that said "Unagiya: Fast! Cheap!, Reliable!, From cat-sitting to finding people. We do it all!" As Ichigo entered the shop, he was met with his boss, who was a tall, curvaceous, and fair-skinned woman with brown eyes and raven hair named Ikumi Unagiya.
"Well, it's about time you got here, Ichigo," said Ikumi.
"Yeah, whatever," said Ichigo, not really caring what his boss thought. "Things haven't been exactly easy ever since that incident with the Horyus. And why do you continued to call your shop Unagiya? Wouldn't it be better to change the name so that people wouldn't…"
Ichigo was cut off when Ikumi knocked him onto the couch and told him. "Like hell I'm giving up my family name. It's been the name of my shop for a long time."
"Whatever you say," Ichigo sighed.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door and Ikumi was quick to answer it.
"Hello, it's fast, cheap, reliable Unagiya," Ikumi represented herself with a smile, only to have it quickly drop when she saw who it was.
Ichigo was confused until he saw what Ikumi saw. There was a woman dressed in a blue and grey jumpsuit with a S.H.I.E.L.D. symbol on it in front of the doorway with several S.H.I.E.L.D. agents beside her. She stood up to 5' 9" (1.75 m) tall, had fair skin, black hair dyed magenta and in a ponytail, and brown eyes.
"Can I help you with something," said Ikumi, now feeling confused.
"Ikumi Unagiya, I'm Agent Yukio of S.H.I.E.L.D.," the woman identified herself. "We're actually here for your employee, Ichigo Kurosaki."
"Huh, what do you want with me," Ichigo questioned.
Elsewhere in Karakura, three of Ichigo's friends were minding their own business at Karakura High School. One of them was a bespectacled boy who stood 177 cm (5'9½") tall with a slender build, straight, chin-length black hair, fair skin, and blue eyes. One of them was a man of both Mexican and Japanese descent with dark skin with pronounced cheek-bones and has wavy brown hair with bangs that generally hangs over his brown eyes and stood 197 cm (6'5½") tall. And the last was a girl who stood 157 cm (5'2") tall with brown eyes and long, waist-length, burnt orange hair with her most noticeable physical trait is her slender yet curvaceous figure, especially in terms of her large breasts. They were Uryu Ishida, Yasutora Sado aka Chad, and Orihime Inoue.
"I still can't believe all of that happened," said Chad.
"I agree," said Uryu. "At first we believed that there were only the World of the Living, the Soul Society, Hueco Mundo, and Hell. But then we saw that battle."
"Well, it's not all bad when you look back on it," Orihime blushed.
Flashback:
Uryu, Orihime, and Chad were in the middle of a battle against the Heartless and the Nobodies as they invaded Karakura Town.
"KOTEN ZANSHUN…!"
"LICHT REGEN…!"
"EL DIRECTO…!"
"LA MUERTE…!"
The three friends fired their attacks at the incoming Heartless and Nobodies as they approached the campus, destroying them all in the process. Uryu especially destroyed a large number of them with little effort. Unfortunately, the monsters kept coming and coming.
"This is ridiculous," Uryu grunted as he continued firing arrows.
"I agree," Orihime admitted as she continued to use Tsubaki's power. "These things just keep coming. How do we handle them?"
"We'll just have to keep up what we've been doing for now," said Chad as he continued to punch each Heartless and Nobody as they came in.
Suddenly, a portal opened up in the sky, catching the three friends' attention. What they saw next was Naruto, Sakura, Inuyasha, Spiro, Aang, and Sora's battle against Xehanort within the World of Nothing.
"WIND SCAR…!"
"GOLDEN BLAZER…!"
Spiro and Inuyasha fired their trademark attacks at Xehanort.
"I don't think so," Xehanort was quick to respond.
"GUARD…!"
Xehanort created a powerful defensive barrier to block the attacks. But just as the barrier went down, Naruto came in with one of his own attacks.
"WIND STYLE: RASENSHURIKEN…!"
Naruto threw a Rasenshuriken at Xehanort before he even had a chance to use his barrier again. However, Xehanort was once again quick to respond as he used one of his Keyblades to deflect the Rasenshuriken from him. This action caused the Rasenshuriken to fly into one of the portals, specifically, the one that led to Karakura High School. Naturally, Orihime was quick to respond.
"SANTEN KESSHUN: I REJECT…!"
Orihime formed a triangular barrier which blocked the Rasenshuriken, but the attack was so powerful that it destroyed the barrier and sent Orihime flying in the opposite direction.
"ORIHIME," Ichigo, who was getting everyone to safety noticed this and caught Orihime, soften her impact. Sadly, Ichigo forgot about Orihime's hard head.
"Ow…"
"Oh, I'm sorry Ichigo," Orihime frantically apologized.
"Don't worry about it," Ichigo then looked at the sky and saw what his friends were seeing. "What the hell, who are those guys?"
"I don't know, but it would seem that that old man they're fighting is bad news," Orihime admitted.
End of Flashback:
"The best part was being in Ichigo's arms," Orihime thought while still blushing.
Just then, several S.H.I.E.L.D. vehicles appeared in front of the school, getting the three individuals' attentions.
Elsewhere in the Tokyo area at an old dojo known as Ryuzanpaku, two young teenagers were walking off to a school known Kōryō High School. One of them was a young man who stood 1.65 meters (5'5") tall with medium length spiky brown hair in the back and some hanging in the front on the sides and brown eyes. The other was a young teenage girl who stood 1.58 meters (5'2") tall with hip-length blonde hair that has short bangs, bright blue eyes and a beauty mark under her left eye; despite being lean and athletically well-defined in musculature, her most noticeable physical trait is her surprisingly developed and curvaceous frame. They were Kenichi Shirahama and Miu Fūrinji.
"I still can't believe it's been over half a year since I fought Ryūto," Kenichi admitted.
"What's even harder to believe is what happened just a few weeks ago," Miu added.
Flashback:
Kenichi and Miu were battling hundreds of Heartless and Nobodies alongside the rest of Ryōzanpaku and the Shinpaku Alliance. But no matter what they did, the Heartless and the Nobodies kept coming and coming and most of their attacks did not do much damage.
"What are these things made of," Kenichi gasped.
"I don't know," Miu replied. "And they just keep coming…!"
Just then, Kenichi and Miu noticed a portal open up in the sky and saw the battle of Xehanort vs. the Horyus.
"STORM…!"
After witnessing Naruto's Rasenshuriken get deflected by Xehanort's Keyblade, Sakura used the Storm Card to create a tornado to surround Xehanort. The attack worked at first, but Xehanort used Airoga to protect himself from the attack before cutting the twister into pieces with his Keyblades.
"Who are those guys," Miu asked.
"I don't know, but they look like they aren't giving up easily against that man," Kenichi commented.
End of Flashback:
Just then, the two arrived at the campus where they noticed several S.H.I.E.L.D. vehicles parked just outside of the campus.
"Hey, what's going on," Kenichi gasped.
"Those look like S.H.I.E.L.D. vehicles," Miu gasped.
"S.H.I.E.L.D.," Kenichi questioned.
"The Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division," Miu explained. "Grandpa and I came across them a few times during my training."
"What are they doing here for," Kenichi asked.
"I don't know but whatever it is, it can't be good," Miu answered.
Suddenly several S.H.I.E.L.D. agents approached the two.
"Are you two Kenichi Shirahama and Miu Fūrinji," said one of the agents.
"Well yeah, why," said Kenichi.
Meanwhile, the Horyus were bunched together, having been disarmed of all their weapons before being taken. They still didn't know what the government wanted with them or why they were being taken in, but they knew it had to be important.
"What's going on," Sakura asked.
"I don't know, but I have a bad feeling about this," Inuyasha grumbled.
"I just hope that they are friendly to those of us who aren't human," Spiro sighed.
"Calm down guys," Aang reasoned. "I'm sure there's a reason why the government wants us in."
"I hope you're right," Sora replied.
"Do you guys even know how our governments work," Syaoran asked.
"No, do you," Naruto replied.
"Enough in there," said one of the agents. "We're here."
The Hoyrus looked out the windows and saw the Prime Minister's Official Residence building. Upon entering the grounds, the agents quickly escorted them out of the vehicles and entered the building itself. Following right behind them were Eriol, Kagome, Tomoyo, Yukito, and Nakuru.
"Yukito, Nakuru, you're here too," Sakura gasped.
"I'm afraid so Sakura," Yukito confirmed.
"You might want to change into your true forms," Eriol told them. "And that includes you, Kero and Spinel."
The four did just that and soon Yukito and Nakuru were replaced with Yue and Ruby while Kero and Spinel changed into their big cat-like forms. The group then continued to walk with the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents as they entered the building.
As they walked through the building, the Horyus and their friends couldn't help but marvel at the artwork and architecture of the building. While some were drawn to actually touch some of the fancy materials, they were able to restrain themselves as respect for the government of Japan. Others were overwhelmed by what they saw and were also intimidated. Fortunately, Black Widow, Hawkeye and Mockingbird were there.
Soon they reached the office where the Prime Minister of Japan was waiting for them. Sitting alongside him were the leaders of the Japanese Self-Defense Forces, General Takaki Aso of the Japan Ground Self-Defense Force, Admiral Ryuzo Dobashi of the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force, and General Shinsuke Kakurai of the Japan Air Self-Defense Force.
"Good afternoon, Horyus," said the prime minister when he noticed the Horyus. "I am Hideto Ogata, Prime Minister of Japan."
"Good afternoon, Mr. Prime Minister," Sakura bowed formally, feeling a bit nervous.
The others bowed down to Prime Minister Ogata just as Sakura did.
"Okay, enough with the formalities," said Maria, letting herself be known, wearing the classic S.H.I.E.L.D. jumpsuit and a black leather trench coat.
"Who are you ma'am," Naruto asked.
"My name is Maria Hill," said Maria. "I'm the director of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s eastern division. I talked with Prime Minister Ogata here about a matter that is going to affect how things are going to go for you Horyus."
"Yeah, and what might that be, lady," Inuyasha asked.
"Please have a seat and you'll find out," said Hideto.
Everyone then had a seat at the table, with everyone apart from Spiro using a chair to sit down at the table. They knew that if Maria Hill was from S.H.I.E.L.D., then she must be with Coulson. Once everyone was seated, they continued the discussion.
"Now before we go any further, which of you is the leader," Maria Hill questioned.
"I am, Madame," Spiro confirmed. "Now what's going on?"
Hill got strait to the point. "I want the Horyus and their allies working for S.H.I.E.L.D."
This news took the Horyus by surprise.
Outside, several other S.H.I.E.L.D. vehicles drove in and parked right next the vehicles that brought the Horyus in earlier. Upon parking, they opened up and out came the "passengers". From one, there were Kenichi and Miu who both emerged relatively peacefully.
"I can't believe we're here at the Prime Minister's Office," Kenichi commented.
"I agree," Miu admitted. "Even Grandpa and I never once tried getting in here."
"Come on you two, let's get going," said one of the agents.
Kenichi and Miu then entered the Prime Minister's Office as the "passengers" from the other vehicles emerged. From one, there was Ichigo who had to be kicked out by Yukio for being so stubborn.
"Hey, what's the big idea," Ichigo questioned.
"You were being stubborn so we had to use force," said Yukio.
"Why you," Ichigo growled as his friends emerged from the last vehicle.
"Ichigo," Orihime called out, getting Ichigo's attention.
"Orihime," Ichigo gasped. "What are you guys doing here?"
"Apparently, the Prime Minister of Japan wanted to see us along with the others," Uryu told Ichigo. "Fortunately or unfortunately, Rukia and Renji are back in the Soul Society and couldn't join us."
"In any case, we should go inside and see what the Prime Minister wants with us," Chad pointed out.
Everyone agreed and went inside the office, Yukio following behind them to ensure no one went astray. But unbeknown to either them or anyone else who entered the office, a certain someone was watching the whole thing with eyes on certain individuals.
Back inside, the Horyus and their allies were still taking in what Maria just told them.
"You want us to work for you," Inuyasha asked.
"That's right," Maria Hill confirmed.
"I know I said to your fellow agent Coulson that you could count us as your allies, but we hardly even know you; so why should we work for you," Spiro questioned.
"You think you're the only heroes in this world right now," Hill started explaining to the group. "Well think again. There are dozens of other superheroes around the world, but there are also just as many if not more supervillains out there. Ever since your battle with Xehanort, the number of superheroes and supervillains there are in the world has only escalated in quite a short amount of time."
Prime Minister Ogata then told them, "At the same time, there are many people out there who would see you as heroes while others would prefer the term vigilantes."
"And what would you prefer to call us, sir," Katara questioned.
"How about dangerous," said Ogata.
The Horyus were shocked by what the Prime Minister said.
Just then, Kenichi and Miu came into the room.
"Oh so this is what the Prime Minister's Office looks like on the inside," said Kenichi as he entered the room.
"I'll say," Miu agreed.
"Who the hell are those guys," Inuyasha asked, getting the due's attention.
Kenichi and Miu turned their attention to the Horyus.
"Oh my god, it's the Horyus," Kenichi gasped.
Soon Ichigo and his friends entered the room.
"Who in the name of Marduk are those lads and lasses," Spiro questioned.
"I could say the same about you," Ichigo replied before he saw who were in front of him and his friends. "GAH…! IT'S YOU…!"
"And you are," Sakura asked.
"I'm Ichigo Kurosaki, student at Karakura High School," Ichigo introduced himself. "These here are my friends, Orihime Inoue, Uryu Ishida, and Yasutora Sado, but we call him Chad."
"It's nice meeting you all," Chad said politely.
"Indeed," Uryu tweaked his glasses.
Spiro turned his attention to Kenichi and Miu, "And you two?"
"I'm Kenichi Shirahama," Kenichi introduced himself. "And this is my friend, Miu Fūrinji.
Just then, Orihime and Miu rushed towards the Horyus with excitement.
"Oh my god, the Horyus in person," Orihime gasped. "I've heard so much about you…! Naruto Uzumaki, Sakura Kinomoto, Inuyasha Higurashi, Spiro, Avatar Aang, and Sora…!"
"This is so amazing," Miu gasped. "I especially like you Sakura you're a magical girl…!"
"Ah thanks," Sakura sweat dropped.
"Perhaps we should save the pleasantries for later," Spiro informed everyone and they all turned their attention towards the politics.
"For the past several years, you and several other "gifted" individuals have been taking matters into your own hands and have caused damage towards whatever city they live in or have gone to," said General Aso. "Case in point…"
General Aso then showed them video recordings of their battles and battles involving other individuals, namely around Japan.
"Tomoeda," the Horyus were all shown footage of Sakura's many battles against the Clow Cards, especially the Sealed Card. Sakura was quick to think Tomoyo had a hand in this, but quickly saw that this was not any of her recording.
"Hong Kong," General Aso showed them footage of Sakura's battle with Madoushi.
"Karakura," General Aso showed them footage of Ichigo's battle with Aizen, including the moment when there was a massive explosion from one of Aizen's attacks.
Ichigo and his friends were absolutely shocked upon seeing that both the government and S.H.I.E.L.D. had somehow recorded his battle with Aizen in the Soul Society, even if it was from a distance. Sure Ichigo explained that several individuals had woke up by the time Aizen arrived, but still
"Kamakura," General Aso showed them footage of what appeared to be pink-haired girls with what looked like cat ears killing multiple people at once. This sight caught their attention, especially Sakura's.
"Tokyo," General Aso showed them footage of Sakura and Inuyasha's separate battles against the Heartless and the Nobodies.
"Chiba," General Aso showed them footage of Sakura and Inuyasha's battle with Xehanort at Tokyo Disneyland.
"Mount Fuji," General Aso showed the Horyus footage of their battle atop Mount Fuji.
"And your point is," Inuyasha questioned.
"The point is, people like you have been taking matters into your own hands and without supervision," said Prime Minister Ogata. "That is something that the governments of Japan and the world for that matter can no longer tolerate."
"Bottom line, we need the Horyus as an example," Maria Hill informed them. "As mentioned before, more and more superheroes are popping up. Some like you, the Fantastic Four, and the Avengers are public, but others like Spider-Man, Sunfire, and the X-Men aren't. Some of them like Ichigo, Kenichi, and their friends here are also only children. Therefor there has to be accountability. It may not seem that big a deal for most of you since you're from different worlds, but there are laws in this world and it's my job to inforce them, no matter what country it is. If you step forward and support this, the others will fall in line."
"But what would be the point of registering," Spiro questioned. "Just because we support this movement of yours Miss Hill, it's not guaranty that these other heroes you spoke of will fall in line, especially those young ones over there."
"That's right," Ichigo agreed. "And besides, I kinda lost my powers over a year ago so I'm just an ordinary person right now."
"And I'm just a martial artist working my way around," Kenichi informed Maria. "Besides, none of us are even associated with the Horyus here."
"That makes you no less of a target, Shirahama and Kurosaki," Prime Minister Ogata informed them. "The same goes for your friends."
Director Hill continued, "First off, the Avengers are made up of adults and they're able to handle themselves twenty-four/seven, but your group is made up of children. I'll bet some of you don't even know how to fight without the use of your powers and that at least one of you doesn't even know how cruel the real world can be."
Aang and Sakura knew right away who Maria was talking about, especially Sakura.
"Second, the Avengers and the X-Men have rich people on their sides that make it easier for them to travel all around this world," Hill continued. "But last I checked you don't have anyone like that on your team. And even if you did, I doubt the funding's of one world will work well in another. S.H.I.E.L.D. can offer you that support to get to other parts of this world, especially here in Japan. I already got a refusal from the Avengers, but I'm hoping that the Horyus will be a little more cooperative."
"And if we refuse," Spiro asked.
"One day, one of you will mess up," Hill pointed out. "One day, you'll fail and people will be hurt. And on that day, S.H.I.E.L.D. will come after all of you. Not only that, but there are dozens of other organizations out there that will not hesitate to take advantage of you, and I don't mean that in a good way. Even if you stay together, then what, will you be able to protect each other and each other's friends and families all the time?"
The Horyus did not want to get involved in anything like S.H.I.E.L.D. business, but they knew that Maria Hill's threat of coming after them and everyone else was not to be taken lightly. They also knew she had a good point about what other organizations might be out there, waiting to strike them at any time. They were not able to give Director Hill a concrete answer, but they did know that they had to do something.
"One week," Spiro gave his answer.
"What," Director Hill asked.
"Give us one week to think about this," Spiro answered. "This is a big decision for all of us. Even if what you said is true, we cannot just say yes to this. So give us one week to discuss this and we'll give you our answer."
Maria Hill wasn't too pleased with Spiro's answer, but she knew that the Horyus were at least taking what she said into consideration. "Fine, but I expect to have your answer by the end of that week," she replied. "And I don't intent to give you any more time than that to make up your minds. I have enough trouble getting the Avengers to join back in America so don't make it worse on yourselves."
Naruto turned his attention towards Ichigo, Kenichi, Orihime, Miu, Uryu, and Chad before saying, "What about them?"
"They'll all be put under house arrest until your decision is made," said Ogata.
"What," both Ichigo and Kenichi gasped.
"With all-do respect sir, this is a bad idea," Aang spoke out. "I only hope you realize that before it's too late."
The Horyus and the others then left the room and returned to the vehicles that brought them to the Prime Minister's Office, followed close behind by their lovers and the other groups. After they left, Maria Hill turned her attention to the Japanese government who were not too pleased with what Hill had in mind for the Horyus.
"I don't like this idea of having the Horyus joining your organization," said General Aso. "I personally tolerate S.H.I.E.L.D. supplying Japan with extra defense, but I don't tolerate you butting into what is exclusively Japanese business."
"It's no longer exclusively Japanese business, General," Director Hill pointed out. "Every country in the world was attacked by these Heartless and Nobody creatures and everyone witnessed the battle between Xehanort and the Horyus. That makes it an international threat, which makes it S.H.I.E.L.D. business."
"If that's true then where was S.H.I.E.L.D. when Godzilla had laid waste to Tokyo," General Kakurai questioned. "Where was S.H.I.E.L.D. when Rodan attacked everyone around Mount Aso, and where was S.H.I.E.L.D. during the incident with Mothra?"
"Indeed," Admiral Dobashi agreed. "For an intelligence organization that's said to deal with international threats, you didn't seem to be doing your job back then."
"S.H.I.E.L.D. had not yet been formed until 1965 and last time I checked, those attacks happened before then," Maria Hill answered. "We weren't there before, but we're here now. But if you don't want our help, I can understand."
The Prime Minister realized that Director Hill had a point and reluctantly approved of her move on the Horyus. "Very well, but don't make me regret this."
"Thank you Mr. Prime Minister," Director Hill then left the room and returned to her transport.
Outside, everyone reemerged from the office and had a proper introduction.
"Our apologies for back there," Spiro said politely.
"It's not your fault," Uryu replied. "Anyway, I think it's time for us to have a proper introduction. I'm Uryu Ishida."
"I'm Orihime Inoue," Orihime introduced herself.
"Yasutora Sado, but just call me Chad," said Chad.
"And my name is Ichigo Kurosaki," said Ichigo. "We're from Karakura Town, a town located in Western Tokyo."
"I'm Kenichi Shirahama," Kenichi introduced himself properly. "I'm currently the world's Mightiest Disciple."
"I'm Miu Fūrinji," Miu introduced herself. "I'm from a dojo known as Ryuzanpaku, and Kenichi here is residing there while training."
"I see," said Spiro. "I'm sure you know who we are, but we'll introduce ourselves anyway. I am Spiro, a firedrake dragon from Draco Sanctuary and leader of both the Elemental Darts and the Horyus."
"And I am Tasha, Spiro's mate," Tasha introduced herself.
"I'm Sakura Kinomoto, current master of cards originally created by Clow Reed," Sakura introduced herself. "And these are my two guardians, Keroberos and Yue."
"Greetings," Kero greeted the group.
"Pleasure to meet you," said Yue bluntly.
"I'm Syaoran Li of the Li Clan in China," Syaoran introduced himself.
"I'm Tomoyo Daidouji," Tomoyo introduced herself.
"I am Eriol Hiragizawa of London," Eriol introduced himself. "And these are my guardians, Spinel Sun and Ruby Moon."
"Hello there," Ruby waved her hand.
"Greetings," Spinel said politely.
"I'm Kagome Higurashi," Kagome introduced herself. "I'm a priestess and an export archer. And this is my husband, Inuyasha."
"Hey," Inuyasha said bluntly.
"I'm Aang," Aang introduced himself. "I'm the avatar of the Bending World. And his is Katara, my girlfriend."
"Pleasure to meet you all," Katara smiled.
"Name's Sora," Sora introduced himself. "I'm from a place called Destiny Islands."
"And I'm Kairi," Kairi smiled.
"And you," Ichigo asked Naruto.
"I'm Naruto Uzumaki of the Shinobi World," Naruto introduced himself. "And I'm the future Hokage, believe it!"
Ichigo and his friends sweat dropped upon hearing Naruto's catchphrase.
"I'm Hinata Hyuga," Hinata introduced herself. "I'm Naruto's girlfriend."
"Hey, you sound just like me," Orihime acknowledged.
Suddenly they heard a voice say, "That's probably you two were voiced by the same actress in each of your respective series."
The group gasped upon hearing this strange voice.
"Who's there," Spiro called out.
"I'm right here," said the owner of that voice as he appeared right before the group.
In front of the Horyus and their allies stood a man wearing a red spandex costume that had black patches in certain areas like around the eyes. He carried with him all sorts of weapons including a pair of katanas on his back, and several guns and bullet shells. This was the legendary Merc with a Mouth, Wade Wilson aka Deadpool.
"Thank you for that introduction Writer," said Deadpool, breaking the fourth wall. "Oh and just so you'll know readers, I'm not actually going to play a big part in this fanfiction. I'm just here for a pointless cameo. You know how I role."
"Who the hell is guy talking to," Inuyasha asked.
"You've got me," Sakura answered
"Oh wait, you guys don't know who I am," said Deadpool as he turned his attention to the group, who all shook their heads. "Well then, you're looking at the Merc with a Mouth and the master of all mercenaries, Deadpool…!"
There was a moment of silence.
"Did he say," said Aang.
"Deadfool," Chad finished Aang's question.
"Yes you heard me right, Deadfool, because if you steal my coffee, you're gonna be deadfool," said Deadpool while sweeping the floor of the parking lot before coming back and saying, "Wait no…! DEADPOOL…! Didn't you fools read the part where the writer introduced me just moments ago?"
"What writer," Syaoran asked, not knowing what Deadpool was talking about.
"Thank you for stating the obvious, Writer," Deadpool broke the fourth wall again. "And I was supposed to have a pointless cameo in your other fanfiction, Digimon Adventure: Six Paths in chapter 2, but you cut that part out because you deemed it unnecessary, remember…? Hello, Writer…! Are you there…?"
"Who does he keep talking to," Hinata asked.
"I don't know, but he's even crazier than I am," Naruto answered.
Just then, Maria emerged from the Prime Minister's office and noticed Deadpool.
"Oh wait, Maria noticed me," said Deadpool.
"Seize him," Maria ordered the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents to nab Deadpool.
Sadly, Deadpool managed to escape by just leaving the fanfiction all together, or has he?
"Director Hill, who was that," Orihime asked.
"That was Deadpool," Maria answered. "He's a mercenary who works for whoever pays him good money, whether they're good or bad."
Suddenly, a strange hammer came crashing down into the parking lot, getting everyone's attention. Upon closer inspection, they all saw words written on it.
"Who so ever holds this hammer, if he be worthy, shall process the power of Thor," Spiro read. "Interesting…"
"That's Mjolnir, the hammer of Thor," Maria told them.
"Oh please," Ichigo rubbed it off. "I believe that along with the tooth fairy and the boogie man."
"Do not mock," Spiro told Ichigo. "There's often truth in myth, legend and superstition. Just look at me and Tasha."
"Okay then fine," said Ichigo. "I'll prove to you that this is just a normal hammer."
Ichigo then tried his luck to life Mjolnir. But as hard as he tried, it didn't work. Everyone else then tried their luck one by one. First Naruto, then Hinata, then Sakura, then Syaoran, then Uryu, then chad, then Inuyasha, then Kenichi, then Kagome, then Miu, then Orihime, then Spiro, then Tasha, then Aang, then Katara, then Kero, then Yue, then Sora, then Kairi. But again, as hard as they tried, none of them could lift it.
"Why is this thing so hard to move," Ichigo asked.
"Do you think it's too heavy," Miu asked.
"That's a nice theory, young miss," said a voice from a short distance. "I have a simpler one."
Suddenly the hammer flew away and into the hands of none other than Thor Odinson who answered, "You're all not worthy."
There was a moment of silence, and then the other Avengers arrived on the scene, first Iron Man, then Captain America, then Wasp, then Ant-Man, then last but not least, Hulk.
"Well, well, well, if it isn't the Avengers," Maria narrowed her eyes.
"Good to see you to, Hill," Stark answered. "And you must be the Horyus."
"I see our reputation proceeds us," Spiro answered.
"Good name, but the way," said Hulk.
"And who are those people over there," Ant-Man pointed towards Ichigo and his friends as well as Kenichi and Miu.
Ichigo and his friends introduced themselves to the Avengers and so did Kenichi and Miu.
"Ah, I know who you are," said Stark to Ichigo. "Some time ago, Ichigo, you were a substitute soul reaper of your home town."
"How the hell did you know that," Ichigo questioned, not looking too pleased. "And for that matter, how did you S.H.I.E.L.D. guys manage to record my battle with Aizen?"
"There's a lot of things S.H.I.E.L.D. doesn't tell you," Steve told him.
"There's a lot of things Stark doesn't tell you either Rogers," said Black Widow, letting herself, Hawkeye, and Mockingbird be known.
"And I believe that about does it for the rollcall," said Deadpool as he popped back into the fanfiction, for no apparent reason. "Actually, I'm here for a good reason, to remind the readers that I'm still here."
"Oh great, it's Deadpool," Wasp shook her head.
"Yep, it's me," Deadpool appeared behind Miu. "And just so you know, I'm a real ladies' man."
Deadpool rubbed Miu's butt, much to her discomfort.
"Hands off," Miu struck back, but Deadpool evaded it.
"Well you later, alligators," Deadpool then took off without another word to who knows where.
"Could someone tell me what that was all about," Ichigo asked.
"Anyway, we saw your battle with Xehanort," Stark got back on track.
"And we were wondering if you young heroes would like to join us as junior members," Thor offered them.
The Horyus were surprised. First they were told by Maria Hill that they had to join S.H.I.E.L.D. in order to help keep superheroes under control, now they're offered positions as members of the Avengers.
Elsewhere in Japan, Viper was having a meeting with certain people who claimed to be enemies of their enemies. Standing before her several people, one was a tall man with pail skin and wearing a black cloak with red clouds on it, one was a tall man with long purple hair down to his waist with a muscular build and a calm face, one was a fat cat-like humanoid, and one was a tall and lean-built man with fair skin, brown eyes, and shoulder-length black hair.
"So you're names are Shin Uchiha, Isshinsai Ogata, Kūgo Ginjō, and Pete," Viper questioned.
"Exactly," all four individuals identified themselves.
"I'd be glad to give you a full rundown about the Heartless and the Nobodies, if you want it," said Pete. "Just know that if any one of those individuals we identified turns into a Heartless, they'll be all mine."
Suddenly both Shin and Kūgo drew a sword and pointed them at Pete's throat while Isshinsai prepared to kick him in the crotch. "Don't you dare…!"
"You may do whatever you want to the rest, but Ichigo Kurosaki is mine," Kūgo told Pete.
"And I have every intention of using Naruto Uzumaki to lure out Sasuke Uchiha," Shin told Pete.
"As for me, I need Kenichi Shirahama to test out my student in the long run," Isshinsai told Pete
"Be careful what you wish for, gentlemen," Pete chuckled as he pushed the swords away from his throat and bounced Isshinsai away with his belly. "Compared to me, you three are wet behind the ears."
"We'll see about that," Shin, Kūgo, and Isshinsai all told him as they backed down, not wanting to waste their energy.
"In any case, I'll provide you access to the Soul Society once my crew and I extract Ichigo's Fullbring," Kūgo told Viper. "However, now isn't the time for that since we're still making preparations, we'll be ready to go four months from now."
"And I'll be reforming the Akatsuki back in my world," said Shin. "Once I've reformed the group, we will provide you with all the information and support you need to go against Naruto Uzumaki or any other individual from the Shinobi World."
"As for me, I'll continue to train my disciple," said Isshinsai. "I can assure you though that we'll be able to provide you with whatever backup we can provide."
"I'll be looking forward to that," said Viper. "Hail Hydra."
Shin, Kūgo and Isshinsai then left the room as Pete presented something for Viper. "In the meantime, I could provide you with individuals who could help you get started."
Pete represented several individuals who looked like they were from the Shinobi World. One was a tall chubby fair-skinned man with orange hair; one was a dark-skinned six-armed man with black hair; one was a fair-skinned woman with long red hair that reached her thighs; one was actually two men fused into one as parasitic twins with light blue-grey hair; and one was a man with pale skin, vivid green eyes, angular facial features, two scarlet dots on his forehead which all the members of his clan possessed, and hip-length white hair.
And that was chapter 3. Now I'll admit maybe this chapter was a bit of a jumbled mess, but I've had the Horyus meet up with the Avengers and Maria Hill, who in this is the director of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s eastern division which occupies Asia and Australia. I also brought in four of the main characters from Bleach and the two main characters from Kenichi: the Mightiest Diciple. Not only that, but I had Hydra team up with the characters Shin Uchiha, Isshinsai Ogata, and Kūgo Ginjō, along with Pete. And I hope you like that Deadpool interaction because I'm sure he did.
Like I said before, sorry to disappoint all those who were hoping for the Akatsuki (consisting of Obito, Nagato, Konan, Zetsu, Itachi, Kisame, Hidan, Kakazu, Dedarah, and Sasori) and the Sound Village to be allied to Hydra, but the Horyus takes place after the events of Shippuden. I hope I made myself clear this time. However, I have a way to work around this. If you've seen Boruto, then you'll know that Shin Uchiha tried to recreate the Akatsuki, and since I have Shin here, I'm sure some of you can put it all together from there.
Now just so you'll know, the Maria Hill I have is basically a more mature version of the one from "The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes" and the S.H.I.E.L.D. jumpsuit she and Yukio are wearing is the same one that she wears in "Marvel Disc Wars: The Avengers". I also gave Maria a leather trench coat to emphasize that she's the director of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s eastern division (basically a feminine version of Nick Fury's trench coat from the MCU). After all if it worked for Fury, why not Hill as well?
Also I've introduced the main characters of both Kenichi: The Mightiest Diciple and Bleach. Not to be honest, I originally wasn't going to include Bleach in my Horyus Universe, but after thinking about it, including them might certain projects in the future easier. However, I should let you know that Ichigo, Orihime, Uryu, and Chad are the only Bleach characters I'm going to be using for the time being. Also, this is set after Ichigo's battle with Aizen but before the Fullbringer Arc so don't expect Aizen and his Espada to show up any time soon. Also for Kenichi and Miu, it takes place after episode 50 of the anime, and yes I'm following the anime's continuity.
Now for the next chapter, the Horyus will interact with the Avengers a little more, but how much they'll interact with them, I can't say yet. What I will say however is get ready to see characters who appeared in the anime "Marvel Future Avengers" and "Marvel Disc Wars: The Avengers" later down the line. Also if you want to see more Deadpool, let me know.
PS: Like I said before, I've heard your suggestions and I'll take them into consideration, starting off with Bleach. However, for the time being at least, I will not be using any of the Soul Reapers, Quincy, Hollows, and so forth, and the main characters will likely only have a small part, at least for this instalment. I will however definitely use them in future instalments. For now though, this will mostly focus on the Horyus' decision on whether to join S.H.I.E.L.D., the Avengers, or another team, or stay independent.
Chapter 4: Choices
