Multiversal Madness

Intermission

The world rebuilt; land mass remerged and reconnected, the ocean slowly slid itself across the sea bed and the flora and wild life slowly came back into being. All the pieces that were so gingerly plucked from existence were ever so carefully placed back where they belong reforming the impossible island. Then suddenly a bright light interrupted the tranquility of it all and they were back.

Kazuma: What the hell was that!?

Scott: I feel like my entire existence was just put on hold.

The others were faring no better each feeling slightly shaken up, some were even throwing up or barely holding it back, while the tougher looking members of the group wore a mask over there emotions. Then He appeared between them, they all jumped back in surprise as Host started clapping.

Host: Congrats everyone for making it out alive! I seriously thought at least one of you would die but I guess the power of friendship isn't to be underestimated.

Anne: What was that just then, what did you to us?

The girl panicked, holding her trembling body as others in the group clearly looked frightened as well. Neptune: A bright light, I remember a bright light and then…

Host: Then nothing, I erased you all temporally, nothing to get worked up about I assure you.

Buffy: Erased?

Host: I simply removed you from existence, for a small amount of time it was like you never existed in the first place.

Everyone froze at that, how could this lunatic be so powerful, the fact that he could do something like that whenever he felt like was terrifying. Host: Now that I've brought you all back, lets get on with the results shall we?

No one said anything, to stunned to reply, Host clapped his hands as a large neon sign floated above them. All there names were lit up on the sign in bright red letters and next to them it read…

Batman: 0

Loki: 0

Lucifer: 0

Captain Jack Sparrow: 0

Anne: 0

R2-D2: 0

Sans: 1

Byleth: 1

Shadow: 1

Raven: 0

Ruby: 0

Blossom: 0

Scott: 1

Kazuma: 0

Neptune: 1

Harley: 1

Buffy: 0

Luz: 0

Von Karma: 1

Plankton: 0

Stewie: 0

Zim: 0

Spiderman: 0

Raphtaila: 1

Kairi: 0

Maggie: 0

Everyone looked up at the score board, confusion plastered across there face as they looked to Host awaiting an explanation. Host: If your wondering why most of you have been marked as a zero it's because you gave up half way. Only a handful of you actually played the game while the others got points due to there partner either quitting or forfeiting. Remember what I said at the beginning, you win once your partner leaves the platform meaning you don't have to kill them to win. Though it is more exciting when you do.

Kazuma: that explains why you still got a point shorty

Neptune glared at him as he ruffled her hair, she was back to her normal state looking more like a child than the mature woman she had done before. Neptune: Get of me! I should have just let you drop! (she said swatting his hand away)

Host: Now then! Before I tally up the points its time to arrange the teams, I'll be calling out your names one at a time and when I do I'd like you to move next to me. First of is Batman.

Host glanced over at the Batman who stood still his arms crossed stubbornly Host: heh, I said Batman.

This time Batman found his legs moving by themselves as he was forced to walk to Hosts side Batman: Don't do that again.

Host ignored his attempted threat as he listed out twelve more names, the rest were more cooperative and at the end of it all he had 13 of the 26 of them standing by his side. Host: Anne, Sans, Batman, Kazuma, Neptune, Loki, Buffy, Kairi, Scott, Ruby, R2-D2, Maggie and Raven. You 13 will all be spending a lot of time together as from this moment on your lives rest solely in the hands of your team mates. Now then the rest of you…

He looked towards the others that were left a small smile creeping across his face Host: Zim, Luz, Lucifer, Stewie, Harley, Raphtalia, Captain Jack Sparrow, Spiderman, Bubbles, Von Karma, shadow, Byleth and Plankton. You all make up another team, try your best to get along and become fast friends but don't get to attached.

The two teams exchanged anxious looks as they absorbed this new information but before they had the chance to ask any questions, Host clapped his hands and continued speaking. Host: Now that the teams have been arranged its time to reveal the winner. Sans, Scott and Neptune all managed to score three collective points for there team, a good effort but unfortunately… Vonkarma, Shadow, Byleth and Raphtalia just managed to steal the win with a one point lead, meaning they win this game and get to spend the night in Paradise. The rest of you I'm afraid will be spending the night here outside.

Scott: Outside! We're freeze to death!

Host: No need to worry about that, dying on this island is not possible unless I allow it.

This only built up his nerves but he could tell he was fighting a loosing battle and quit while he was ahead. Host then turned his attention to the wining team, he waved his hand across them and they slowly disappeared. He then glanced back at the others and clicked his fingers, a small fire placed appeared in the ground, a few large logs around it and a bundle of rugs to sleep in.

Kazuma: Is that seriously all your giving us?

Host: the losers have to make do, if your not happy then maybe next time your try harder to win, oh but don't worry I'll provide food for you when dinner arrives.

With that he disappeared leaving behind a group of agitated people, Kazuma kicked the sand in annoyance while Scott walked of to clear his mind. Batman stood there glaring where Host had been, letting his thoughts race through his mind as he tried to make sense of the bizarre situation.

...


Meanwhile the others arrived in what looked like the lobby of a hotel, they looked around confused, they were no signs of life, vacant of all customers and staff. The twin tailed woman skipped over to the reception desk, Luz followed her while the others started to explore splitting of into groups. Harley: Helllllllo Service! (The blonde called as she repeatedly tapped the bell on the counter)

Luz: I don't think anyone's coming.

Host: You rang!

Luz: Ah! Casi me das un infarto!

Host: Well, you did ring the bell, so how can I be of service?

Harley: This a hotel right, you got one of those beds with the water inside, I always wanted to try sleeping on one of them. Oh and a swimming pool with balcony view like in the Incredibles but without the evil white haired chick, unless she comes free then your talking.

Luz: And a chocolate fountain!

Harley: Two Chocolate fountains! No wait three! No actually-

Host: I can get you all of that but before we finalize this perhaps I should explain what this hotel is…

Harley: Nope! I just want the chocolate fountain now! Its been a long day and I could do with the sugar.

Luz: Yeah, I'm kinda hungry.

Host let out annoyed grunt regretting answering the bells call, under his breath he mumbled "out of everyone why did it have to be you two that discovered this thing?" he shook his head and recovered his composure. Host: This bell is a reward for the wining team, with it you can use my power to add anything you like to this hotel but and pay attention because this is important. The bell can only be used once and will not be useable again until after the next game, so before I bring you your chocolate fountains let me ask you one more time. Is there really nothing else you desire?

The two girls looked at each other for a moment before Harley slammed her fist down on the counter startling Host. Harley: How many times we gotta repeat ourselves! Give us our chocolate!

Luz: Yeah! (Luz cheered her on, though in all honesty she wasn't to bothered, she was just caught up in the moment.) The girls were having so much fun tormenting Host that they failed to recognize the dark presence looming behind them.


Kazuma sat down by the fire warming himself up, he threw another log in stopping the flame from dying out. Next to him Neptune laid against the palm tree looking up at the starry sky Kazuma: Thanks by the way, for not letting me drop like that.

Neptune glanced over to Kazuma who held his hands out to the fire, a small smile crept across her face, she didn't know him very well but she could tell he was a good person. Neptune: Hehhee, off course, if I let you fall like that all the children around here would have been traumatized for years to come and we can't have that now.

Kazuma didn't say anything but she heard him stifle a snigger, a few moments later and they were approached by two other girls Kairi and Anne. They stood beside Kazuma and he slowly moved back giving them room to warm up by the fire. Anne: I-Its cold, that g-guy is trying to k-kill us.

The other girl didn't say anything, she just held herself in her arms and shuffled as close as possible to the fire. Kazuma could tell they weren't doing great and started up a conversation to take there mind of things. Kazuma: So, I noticed we all look around the same age but how old are you guys, I'm 17 and you curly hair?

Anne: I'm 14 and my names Anne, your Kazuma right, I heard your speech it was very…

Kazuma: Brave, admirable, come on you can be honest.

Anne: I was goanna say rude.

Kazuma: Oh…

Anne: But I think that's what we needed (she said, with a small smile)

Neptune: Carful Anne, don't butter up his ego to much or he'll start to grow a third head.

Kazuma: And where exactly is my second!?

Neptune: My mum always told me boys have two heads, one on display and one they keep hidden.

Kazuma: Your mum is wrong!

Neptune: I'm Neptune btw and my age, well that's a secret, I'll only tell that to the one I'm destined to be with.

Kazuma: So, no one will ever know. (a smirk stretching across his face)

Anne: Heheh, you two seem to have gotten along quite well, that's impressive given the circumstances.

Kazuma: Just try not to think about it Anne, that's what I do and so far its been working.

Neptune: Didn't you die earlier?

Kazuma: Shut it!

Kairi: My names K-Kairi, I'm about 16 years old I think, sorry its been a while since I had time to actually celebrate my birthday or anything like that.

Kazuma: Theres a story behind those words but I'm a gentleman so I won't be nosey.

Kairi: Thanks, maybe I'll tell you a little about it later…

Kazuma noticed how Kairi despite her bright smile seemed overwhelmingly sad, though she tried to hide it, it was obvious something was bothering her. Anne broke the silence as she noticed someone else approach them, another teenage boy with red curly hair, he was shivering furiously as he stumbled slowly over to them but came to a sudden stop.

Anne: You look terrible, quick come warm up by the fire. (She said, then rushed to his side and sat him down in front of the flames between her and Kairi)

The boy shivered uncontrollably as Kairi shuffled away moving further back towards Neptune Kairi: Don't you need to keep warm?

Neptune smirked as she poked her cheek, she recoiled back as Neptune let out a small giggle Neptune: I can use fire magic to keep myself relatively warm, though I will admit it isn't a permeant solution and at some point I will need the fire as well.

Kairi: Magic huh (she looked up at the sky thinking about her friends and what they may be doing now)

Anne: You feeling okay? (she asked as the ginger boy slowly warmed up)

Kazuma stared over at the boy, he recognized the way Kairi had reacted and had gotten a bad feeling from him ever since then. Still, he did nothing but watch as the boy recovered his strength and slowly exchanged words with Anne.

Scott: Thank you Anne, my names Scott and I'm 17, ha isn't it weird how many of us are around the same age but then you also have people like that Batman who's obviously way past are age.

Anne: Yeah, what's up with that guy, he looks like a villain.

Kazuma: He's a major buzzkill is what he is, ( Kazuma began talking but the others face went pale as a sheet as the Batman suddenly appeared behind Kazuma) He always has to be the one in charge, telling everyone what to do but when that game began he didn't do dick to stop it, in fact it was me a kid who brought everyone to there senses. He was useless and I tell you one thing-

Anne: Kazuma stop talking!

Kazuma looked at her confused then felt a hand on his shoulder, a chill ran up his spine and he slowly turned around. He would have jumped from his seat had it not been for the Batman keeping him in place, the other kids looked just as frightened as to what would happen next. Batman glared down at him his sharp slit white eyes cutting into his soul and all Kazuma could do was wait for him to act.

Batman: Your right.

Kazuma: I'm sorry I didn't mean what I said, it was all Neptune leading me on and- Wait what did you say?

Batman let out a defeated sigh as moved to stand in front of the fire slowly placing the baby he had been hiding under his cape down on the ground. Batman: I couldn't stop Host and when things were looking there worst I failed to protect anyone but you… Your words were able to reach them, you brought everyone back to there senses and eventually people started to work together. While I stood there unable to do anything, you united everyone against Host despite the power he possess.

Kazuma resisted the urge to smugly crack a joke as he noticed the Batman standing there clenching his fist as he stared deep into the flames. Then suddenly he snapped his neck back glaring harshly at the teen Batman: However, you were reckless and put not only yourself in danger but a child as well! (he said, pointing at Neptune)

Batman: It's one thing to stand up to evil, its another to have the power to fight it, I respect what you did but unless you know you can actually win I suggest you leave the fighting to the adults from now on.

The Batman picked up the baby who was moving closer to the flames and handed her to Anne, then walked away. However, before he could leave the kids alone he suddenly turned back round throwing a Batarang at the log that was heading towards him. He glared at Kazuma who had thrown the log in a fit of rage. Kazuma: Y'know, I hate people like you, acting like your so much better than everyone but your just like everyone else because when push came to shove, you chose to play Hosts game. (Kazuma hesitated as Batman glared at him inching closer)

Batman: Unlike some of the others here I have no powers, there was nothing I could have done.

Kazuma: Bullshit! I'm just a normal teenage boy but at least I had the balls to take my own life instead of someone else's!

Batman: Your not brave for wanting to die.

Kazuma: That dose it! (Kazuma yelled as he charged at the Batman, his hands shined a light blue as the Batarang from earlier appeared in his hand. Batman stayed there watching as Kazuma came slashing the blade down, only to be stopped mid swing. A swift kick to the gut sent Kazuma tremberling to the floor, as he fell to his knees winded.

Buffy: That enough! (Buffy stood between the tow of them breaking up the fight)

Buffy: Tensions are high enough as it is, fighting each other is the last thing we need.

Kazuma got back to his feet and without saying a word he turned around and stormed of, the fight had been prevented but Buffy wasn't done. Buffy: You should no better. ( she said, glaring at the Batman)

Batman: The kid is an idiot, he has an obvious hero complex and is far to reckless, that kind of attitude could get someone killed.

Buffy: He's a good kid, with a big heart, you can't expect so much from someone his age.

Batman: I don't expect anything from anyone but when people start getting big headed that's when they get carless and that's what gets people killed.

With that Batman walked of in the opposite direction leaving the kids and Buffy alone, after a few minutes the conversation started back up and Buffy stuck around to keep an eye on the kids.


Vonkarma was quick to split from the group, she had hoped to investigate the lobby in more detail but seeing those idiots at the reception gave her other ideas. Instead, she ventured up the stairs to the first floor where she traveled through a long hallway. Sets of golden doors were spread out beside a labeled name plate, she stopped in front of one, a nasty glare crossing over her face. "Captain Jack Sparrow" Without uttering so much of a whisper she quickly moved on venturing through the hall. It was then as she came to the second set of stairs that she was spotted.

Byleth glanced over at her, then looked back at her hand, she was holding something but Vonkarma couldn't make out what it was. Byleth walked up the second set of stairs with Vonkarma following close behind, just like before the layout was pretty much the same. Labeled doors were spread-out evenly on both sides, they walked in silence as Byleth approached the door with her name and inserted the key she had been holding. The door clicked open and Byleth entered the room leaving the door wide open behind her. Vonkarma didn't hesitate in following behind her but was surprised by what they found inside.

Byleth: It's just like he said.

It was a small wooden room, the walls were bare and left unpainted, in the corner of the room was a small single bed with a dirty looking green sheet, at the end of the bed was a large wooden chest. The only other thing of note about the room was the picture of a strong looking man looking to be in his late 40's.

Vonkarma: What do you mean? Like who said?

Byleth ignored her and looked around the room in more detail, she let out a small sigh Byleth: My desk isn't here, so its not an exact replica…

Vonkarma was getting fed up by her lack of cooperation and decided to take the initiative, she moved further into the room to examine everything closely. She started with the calendar, there was something of about it, all the months were written wrong as if written in different language. Next she looked over at the chest knelling down in front of it, there was no lock which either meant there was nothing worth while inside or Byleth wasn't worried about being robbed. She then looked over at Byleth, for the first time since they arrived here a small smile had greeted there face as they held the photo of the man in there hands. Which made it clear that whoever the photo may be of, it's obviously someone Byleth cares a great deal about.

Vonkarma: Tell me Byleth is this room similar to one you have back where you came from.

Byleth: How do you know that?

Vonkarma: I figured as much, your reaction to this place plus the things inside made it bluntly clear something like that was the case.

Byleth: A short while ago I bumped into Lucifer, he explained to me that Host has left each of us a key to access our rooms behind the receptions desk and that they've all been tailored to meet our preferences.

Vonkarma thought about this new information as she pondered to herself. what would be the point in Host preparing all this individual rooms for us and why make them so unique from each other. The more she thought about it the more she began to let her mind fill with panic, so instead she took her leave as she ventured down to the reception.


The wind was finally starting to ease off leaving behind a nice crisp air that Kazuma was to annoyed to properly appreciate. He muttered to himself like a child as he walked along the beach hands tucked away in his pockets, that is until a red flash of light lit up the sky catching his attention. He slowly but carefully rushed towards the flashing light, it lead him to a small clearing on the island further away from the beach. He was in the middle of cutting through the bushes when he caught sight of something spectacular. A tornado of red rose petals ringing round through the air circling a young pretty teenage girl. a cheeky smirk stretched across her face as suddenly a red scythe appeared in her hands, she sliced through the ground opening up a small crater. The blast of the impact blew the nearby bushes away, as the palm tress rustled wildly causing a group of coconuts to fall down next to her.

Kazuma: Whoa that was sick (he whispered, keeping himself hidden)

She placed her weapon away and picked up one of the coconuts which had already split in half, slowly she took small sips from the shell, the white liquid spilling down her neck and dripping onto her chest. Kazuma watching everything from his spot in the bushes felt his face heat up as his jaw dropped to the floor. He was entranced by her body, her sparkling silver eyes, her large chest and the tom boy looking hair cut she had going for her. He could already feel his bad mood fading as new feelings began to arise but that's where his luck run out as another coconut fell down from the tree he had been leaning against. He winced in pain as the hard shell bounced of his head and rolled towards the girl. She noticed and looked over to Kazuma who was muttering all manners of curses.

Ruby looked over at him slightly confused and a little embarrassed, she thought she was alone out here but as it turns out that was not the case. Kazuma shook the pain aside as he looked at Ruby with a slight flush in his cheeks. Shit what do I do? She must know I was watching her right, shes gonna freaking kill me! No calm down as far as she knows I was just exploring, I totally wasn't perving on her anything like that. Shit she's coming this way, breath Kazuma breath.

Ruby: So did you came here to train as well? (she asked, eyeing the sword tied to his hip)

A confused look crossed his face, why would he waste time training when theres so many cute girls to talk to! Kazuma: Training? No I'm… Wait you idiot! This is your get out of jail free card, if you just play along theres no way she'll suspect you. I mean yes! Training is what I live for! I was practicing with my… Sword! With my sword, yep, when I noticed you were nearby. Yep, that's what happened no need to read into that.

Ruby: Hehehe, you're a weird dude, I'm Ruby by the way and you're the guy that gave that speech earlier right?

Kazuma: Kazuma Satou, nice to meet you, so err, what exactly was that just now?

Ruby: What was what?

Kazuma: Y'know, the thing with the petals.

Ruby: You mean my semblance?

Kazuma: Your what?

Ruby: Y'know, the unique power that lies within all of us, mine is like teleportation, I can turn my body into rose petals then quickly move around the area.

Kazuma: I don't know what your talking about but it sounds awesome.

Ruby: It is! Wait you seriously don't know what a semblance is?

Kazuma: Nope! Closest thing I have to that is my Steal move.

Ruby: Oh! Show me! Show me! Show me! (She edged him on as she jumped up and down like an excited puppy getting coconut milk all over him.)

Kazuma: Alright calm down already, your getting that stuff all over me. (Kazuma managed to shield himself with his cape preventing most of his clothes from getting stained.

Ruby: S-Sorry (ceasing her jumping.

A menacing smirk crossed his face as he placed his hand to his face Kazuma: Now then, allow me to show you my ultimate power, just remember, you asked for this? STEAL!

Ruby watched with stars in her eyes as he struck his arm towards her, a blinding light engulfed his hands and seconds later a soft fabric wrapped around his fingers. Kazuma: Heh, what do you think of that, a pretty useful ability don't you think. Though I will admit I expected it to be heaver… Wait a minute.

Kazuma stopped posing and looked to what he was holding, in his hands was a crimson red bra, his face flushed a bright pink as he slowly inched his gaze up towards ruby. Eyes once filled with excitement and anticipation, now only filled with disgust and disbelief. Her cheeks matched the color of her hair as she glared over at Kazuma, he raised his arms to defend himself but it was to late. Ruby: What exactly do you think your stealing!

He moved his arms to defend his face from any incoming slaps but instead a sharp jolt to the mid area sent Kazuma crumbling to his knees. Ruby snatched her bra back, turning around to dress herself properly. To Kazuma's credit, he had actually intended on stealing the coconut she had been holding to her chest unfortunately his aim was but slightly off.

Ruby: So can you steal anything or just womens undergarments?

Kazuma lifted his head from the ground surprised to see she was still here talking to him Kazuma: Th-That was an accident! A-Anyway, to answer your question, I can't steal anything, it has to be things I can hold in one hand normally.

Ruby: Like a sword or a gun?

Kazuma: Those are some violent examples but yeah.

Armed with her Scythe Ruby swung the blade at him stopping inches away from his neck Kazuma: Hey now, I said I was sorry and if I didn't I am! We don't want to do anything we're regret later.

His words fell on death ears as a menacing smirk crossed her lips Ruby: Kazuma Satou, I want to see which is stronger my semblance or your Steal ability.

Kazuma: What?

Ruby: So to make up for violating my body your going to be my sparring partner.

Kazuma: Don't phrase it like that!

Kazuma batted the scyth away as new found courage rose up inside as he sensed an opportunity. Ruby began to regret her words as a lustful smirk leered over Kazuma, the disturbing sight putting her in unease. Kazuma: Fine if you want to fight me so bad go ahead but since your so much stronger than me you leave me no choice… I'm goanna have to use my ultimate move.

Ruby: Your ultimate move?

Kazuma's hands began to glow as he pushed forwards, Ruby noticed and quickly stepped back Kazuma: This is my ultimate move guaranteed to stop any female opponent dead in there tracks. Behold Ruby, the ultimate move that sets you and I far apart in terms of skill and power, Pantie Steal!


Host: Listen up winners, it is now 6:00pm which means dinner will be served momentarily, please head to the dining hall as soon as possible to receive the delicious food being served up for you.

Outside the hotel Spiderman and Shadow had been investigating the surrounding area, however they both finally returned when the dinner bell rang to report the results. Everyone was sat at the dining table, a long white table with steel plates placed neatly in front of each seat. Lucifer sat at the far end in front off everyone while at the other end the prosecutor Vonkarma made sure she had eyes on everyone.

Harley: So what dose everyone think of the new digs? (She was sat between Luz and Captain Jack Sparrow)

Vonkarma: Its suspicious, how dose he know what all our personal tastes are?

Zim: Agreed! For all we know he could have been watching us for years, stalking our every movement. (he said, he was placed on Vonkarma left next to him was Luz)

Bubbles: Even when we were sleeping? ( she was sitting opposite Zim on Vonkarmas right)

Zim: Especially then!

Lucifer: Lets not spoil our food with talk of that false god. (he said as trays of food were placed on the table in front of him. Next to him on his right was Byleth her sat there in silence next to the pirate while on his left was Raphtalia her quickly began to load up her plate.)

They all watched as plates of food hovered down in front of them like something out of a kids film, each of there meals had been customized to fit there dietary needs. For example the youngest of the group was given a plate of what looked like mash with diced meat inside. The smallest looked to be given crumbs of food while the alien was happy to eat some strange ungodly mess. Stewie: This is far more than I was expecting, everyone has been made to our person taste. (he was sat on a high chair in-between Bubbles and Shadow)

Spiderman: It taste just like how aunt May makes it as well, even slightly burnt how she dose sometimes. (he was placed in between Raphtalia and Shadow.)

Plankton: Can someone help cut mine?

Shadow: Its suspicious, I don't trust this and I refuse eat it.

Raphtalia: If your not goanna eat it, then what are you goanna eat?

Shadow had no answer and remained silent keeping his arms crossed in stubborn defiance. Byleth: The black cat is right, there is a lot to discuss and this food only adds onto the list of topics but I think despite its unknown origins, depriving yourself of the nutrients you need to survive will only lead to your down fall.

Shadow: Eat to stay strong huh… Fine, but I won't enjoy it.

Lucifer: Well with that little stunt out of the way lets get back to enjoying our meals shall we everyone.

Von Karma: I appear to have misjudged you Mr Morningstar.

Lucifer: Karma wasn't it, and what exactly is it you misjudged about me.

Vonkarma: You may address me as, Madam Franciscka Vonkarma world most renown prosecutor but I digress. When first we met I had thought you a man of action, a man unwilling to bend to the will of others. Yet, here we are eating and laughing like a bunch of school girls gaggling together, oh so merry as if everything is just dandy. It turns out you are as much the foolish fool as everyone else in this place, to scared to take action, you sully your pride and sit willy nilly for that Things next instructions.

Lucifer: And what would you have us do Prosecutor, we've all witnessed the kind of power Host possess. I tried to fight against him but there is simply know way to over power him.

Vonkarma slammed something down onto the table catching everyone of guard and spilling some of the drinks. Vonkarma: Perhaps brute strength has proven fruitless but the fact of the matter is you have all already given up.

Lucifer stood from his chair walking over to Vonkarma and picking up the papers she presented Lucifer: But that's not…

His face ran cold as he began to put the pieces together and then finally Byleth spoke up Byleth: Vonkarma, why do have that. (She tightly gripped her sword underneath the table)

Vonkaram: Forgive for the intrusion, but this is evidence that proves a theory of mine.

Byleth stood from her chair, eyes lit with fury as she began to pull out the sword Byleth: You better have a good reason for stealing from me girl, because if I don't like it I'll cut of your hands.

Harley: Whoa things are intense!

Luz: Shouldn't we try and stop them.

Lucifer: Enough! Put. The. Blade. Down.

Suddenly an indiscernible force over came Byleth as an unknown power forced her to throw the sword away. She came back through, and glared at Lucifer but it was not fear that kept her pinned down. Lucifer slowly crept towards her his gentle hazle eyes corrupting into a radiant red, the moment they locked eyes she felt herself compelled to listen to him.

Lucifer: Now Byleth tell me, what do you truly desire?

Everyone watching didn't really know what was going on, some watched out of pure boredom and took it as a show with there meal. Some others were concerned for there safety and the safety of the others and were preparing to spring into action if the need arise. Though no one could have predicted this.

Byleth: I-I

Lucifer: Tell me Byleth!

Byleth: I want to die.

There was a long silence as everyone took a moment to take in what they had heard even Lucifer the devil himself hadn't been expecting an answer such as that. Yet, now that he had started he was not one to leave things half done and so he continued. Lucifer: Dose the reason you wish for death have anything to with our current situation.

Byleth: No… No It dose not, I have done things, terrible things to people who both loved and hated me, I betrayed and killed and slaughtered all for a cause I had no right fighting in. I wish to die but I have not the right to put the blade to my own neck for that would be a disgrace to there memory.

Lucifer: The calendar Vonkarma found is from your world correct, tell me, what country are you from.

Byleth: I hail from a small town known as Reigon but as I recall I was born in the church of Serios, details of my childhood escape me but I spent a large amount of my life traveling all over Fodlan with my farther working as a Mercenary.

Vonkarma: Then it's really what I thought

Lucifer: This is impossible… The kind of power needed to pull something like this off… It dosen't exist!

Vonkarma: Yet here we are.

Harley: Yo egg heads! Mind explaining to the rest of the class.

Byleth finally came back round and tumbles to the floor, Vonkarma caught her and gave her a shoulder to rest on. Vonkaram: I shall escort her back to her room, you can explain to the slower members of the group.

Spiderman: Is she goanna be okay?

Raphtalia: What was that you did to her, she seemed like she was completely under your control.

Harley: Yeah and your eyes were glowing freaking red, should we be worried devil boy!

The group quickly began to grow suspicious of Lucifer, talks of mistrust and paranoia spreading among the crowd. That's when to his surprise Luz stepped up to his defense Luz: Everyone stop! I know things our scary and yes Lucifer… Is a little intimidating but aren't you all forgetting. When this all started he was the first to stand up to Host, in the bonus game he was willing to risk his life to save me and the others. I don't quite believe that he's the devil but I do believe that he's on our side and I know we can trust him.

Spiderman: Your right, this whole situation is getting me out of wack, aunt may always taught me to see the good in people and I'm willing to give him a chance.

Raphtalia: He seems scary but so did master Nafomi at first so maybe after time he'll also be less scary.

Harley: I still don't trust him but I trust you kid and if you say he's okay then that's good enough for me.

Everyone began to calm down as they either returned to there meals or started up small talk among each other. Lucifer: Thanks kid, I owe you one but just for the record I am the devil.

Luz: Sure and I'm the apprentice of a witch from another world.

Shadow: So then, explain.

Lucifer: Right. This isn't going to be easy to understand so I'll be blunt, all of us here are from another world.


Neptune: Kazuma! Kazuma!

Neptune wondered about aimlessly through the beach, she had been sent to retrieve him as Buffy had almost finished cooking dinner. Suddenly, a high pitched shrill caught her attention and she rushed over to investigate, she cut through the bushes and trees only to find a beat up Kazuma spread out across the sand.

Ruby: Dude, you make a way better testing dummy than a sparring partner.

Kazuma: Maybe if you didn't keep using your super powers I'd actually stand a chance.

Ruby: So your allowed to use yours but I'm not allowed to use mine.

Kazuma: Mine don't leave you with broken bones! Besides, I haven't even gotten a chance to steal anything! Your way to fast with that stupid teleportation trick.

It was then the two noticed Neptune who had been standing there watching the conversation, Ruby pulled him to his feet as he gave her a gentle wave. Neptune: Jesus you look like shit. What did you do?

Kazuma: Why do you automatically assume I did anything!?

Neptune: Well, did you do something?

Kazuma: That's beside the point.

Ruby pushed Kazuma aside and grabbed Neptunes hand shaking it wildly Ruby: Aww your so cute, I always wanted a little sister. Wait is this how Yang see's me.

Neptune: Ahhh! Stranger danger! Stranger danger!

Kazuma stood back up and moved beside the two girls Kazuma: Ruby this is Neptune you may remember her as the flying purple haired girl with large honkers

Neptune punched Kazuma in the face causing him to fall back onto the floor Neptune: What kind of introduction is that!

Ruby: Hehehe, nice to meet you Neptune, I'm Ruby. Kazuma here was just sparring with me but he's kinda weak, I wouldn't mind going up against you if you have the time.

Neptune: Tempted as I am by that offer I actually came looking for you guys to inform you dinner is served.

Ruby: Food! Oh thank god, I'm starving!

Kazuma: No way am I heading back to camp if he's there.

Neptune: Don't be a child! You need to eat or your pass out.

Ruby: Whats wrong?

Neptune: Kazuma got into a fight with someone at camp and now he refuses to go back.

Ruby: But you have to go back and make things right otherwise your just end up hating each other.

Kazuma: No way! He started it!

Ruby: You started the fight between us but I still forgave you.

Kazuma: That was an accident…Fine.

Neptune: Fight?

The trio headed back to camp, everyone was gathered round the fire as chopped up fish and rice was being served in metal bowls. A dozen tents had also been set up now, provided by Host, there were only 6 however and 13 campers meaning they would have to share.

Scott: Your back, I guess you had to come back for the food huh?

Kazuma: Well yeah, I'm not stubborn enough to let myself pass out. (Ruby and Neptune both rolled there eyes at this but said nothing as they took a bowl each from Buffy)

Loki: I heard about your fight earlier and the strange power you had used, I will admit its drawn my curiosity.

Anne: Yeah dude, how did you do that, one minute that bat shaped knife was lying on the floor, the next it was in your hand.

Kairi: It was like magic.

Kazuma: Heh, something like that I guess but if I'm being honest that skill isn't all that impressive, I can just take things that are a little out of reach. It's not like I can fly like Neptune or turn into rose petals like Ruby, I'm not strong either unlike Batman, in fact the only good thing about me is my witty sense of humor but even that can get me into a lot of trouble.

No one knew what to say to Kazuma's sudden display of weakness, they had gotten attuned to his foolish antics that to see him suddenly get depressed threw them off. Batman: It's one thing to recognize your weakness, its another to over come them.

Kazuma glared over at Batman he was stood under a palm tree away from the others, his back faced towards them. Kazuma: Keh,Easier said then done.

Batman: Yes it is. However, if you truly wish to improve yourself then you will need the determination to see it through. It isn't impossible but I promise you it is not an easy task to over come one's own weakness.

Kazuma felt himself grow more and more annoyed with each word out of his mouth Kazuma: Well how about you huh? Your pretty perfect aren't you! Your strong, smart, hell I bet your even a good looker! What kind of weakness could you possibly possess!

Batman: I am strong but I lack the power to save the people I care about, I can take on 20 thugs at once but that means nothing if I cannot save the people closets to me. (His voice came of much harsher and when he turned around Kazuma expected a harsh glare directed at him but instead a deep sadness was reflected in his eyes.)

Kazuma: I-I'm sorry… I just look at you and I see everything I'm not, your brave, you put others lives in front of your own and me… Hmph I'm a fake, I'm not a hero, the only reason I jumped of that thing was because I knew we'd be brought back. If it was any other situation, I wouldn't have hesitated to strike Neptune or anyone else down.

Neptune: Kazuma…

Batman: A wise old man once told me that recognizing your flaws is the first step to over coming them. If you don't like the kind of person you are then its up to you to change that. (Batman placed a hand on his shoulder and leaned in close to his ear) Become the hero I know you can be.

Kazuma didn't have a response for that and as Batman brushed him by he retreated away further down the beach. Then suddenly Kazuma shot up from his seat yelling from the top of his lungs. Kazuma: Ha! You still looking down on me, I'll do you one even better, I'll become so powerful that I'll surpass you in everyway imaginable! Just you wait, one day you won't be so cocky you hear me!

Batman: Hmph! I look forward to it.


#######: It's time, are they ready?

Host: Ready as they'll ever be.

######: Then you have my permission.

Host: Oh goody, I've been looking forward to this part.

######: Indeed, without further delay we shall now begin the first Elimination game.
