Sup, guys and gals. Bakuganman here with a new fic, which is a co-author project between me and some other talented writers. We got together, smoked some stuff, came up with some batshit crazy ideas till we gave birth to this multi-series story. I'll have the rest speak for itself, as this was all for fun.
And here we are with the collab project. ChaosFlash912, Bakuganman, Mr. Hoo and me, Tamama 900, will be working on this project. Let's hope this goes well. So, here's the first chapter of this project. Enjoy.
Disclaimer: We don't own any characters appearing in this fic.
AoTVerse
In this bleak world, where a village is protected by a wall that looks like the Great Wall of China, a portal has been opened, then, 20 of the Meta-Verse Agents fall out of it and onto the ground. The portal closes.
Mister Mosquito got up, then looked at this sight. "The hell are we?"
Lucas the Spider crawls to Mosquito. "Looks normal."
"The hell are you talking about? This here, is normal?" Mosquito sighed.
"At least there's nothing unnormal about this place, okay?" Lucas said.
"Yeah right." Mosquito said.
MADLAX, Fukune Narakura, Maryoku, Rikka Takanashi, Solty Revant, Yucie, Tickle "Tilel" Selvatlos, Milfeulle Sakuraba, Yutaka Kobayakawa, Pururu, Mii, Patamon, Milk Chan, Himeno Awayuki, Hinaichigo, Yuna Miyama, Ringo Sugisaki and Silvia Maruyama all got up, then looked around.
"This isn't the Agency." MADLAX said.
"Hadn't the portal sucked us up somehow?" Himeno asked.
"I did remember that. That was scary." Maryoku said.
"I, the officer, saw that as nothing." Silvia said.
"Well, believe it or not, it is something alright." Mosquito flew to Silvia, then got on her left shoulder. "So, what's next? We get attacked by whatever might come at us."
"You say that like we're gonna get attacked." Lucas said.
"We might be." Mosquito said.
"Let's just look around for stuff. Maybe we can find something if we look." Solty suggested.
"Good idea. But where do we start?" Hinaichigo asked.
Solty thinks. "No idea."
"Great, thanks for not knowing." Mosquito said.
They heard a sound.
"What was that?" Patamon asked, frightened.
Then, four other portals opened up.
"Be on your guard!" Mosquito grabs out his guns, slings them around, then stops.
But, it wasn't what they thought it was. The four portals spit out certain people from other places, then the portals closes.
The first people that got up were Reg, Riko, Nanachi and Marulk.
The second people that got up were Kurumi Tokisaki, a female and two males.
The third people that got up were five pirates.
The fourth people that got up were two cartoon cats and two superheroes.
Tilel arches her eyebrow. "What the hell is this?"
"Where in the world are we?" Reg looks around, and notices other people.
Nanachi came to the five pirates. "You guys are literally strange. Mind telling me what you guys are?"
The pirates in question consisted of a human woman in a purple and black breastplate, tricorne, and brown boots with gold trim with a double-handed axe on her back. The others were an older peacock gentleman with a six-shooter, a bull whose overall demeanor screamed 'Zorro', a crab with a hooked sword and purple full-plate armor, and the last was a skeleton man who had all the makings of a witchdoctor.
"Scarlet Armstrong. These folks here are some of my most trusted crewmembers," The woman greeted. "And uh, where exactly are we? I don't remember doing anything that involved portals to other worlds outside the Spiral."
"I an' I be Old Scratch. I be bound to de captain by her indomitable spirit," The skeleton man introduced.
"Birgus Latro. Sailed with the captain's parents back in the day," The crab went next.
"I am too old for this…but I'm Wild Bill Peacock." The peacock tipped his hat to Nanachi.
"Let the wicked take flight, for I am the helper of the helpless - I am El Torrrrrrro!" The bull trilled his r's as a musical stinger was heard that sounded weird to everyone else, but not the pirates.
Nanachi looks at El Toro for a minute. "Hmm. Alright. I'm Nanachi. You may think I'm a bunny rabbit. But I'm clearly not. You can call me a Hollow. A human that lost her humanity. You can call it a curse."
"Aye. I an' I can sense whatever be ailing you comes from powerful mojo," Old Scratch confirmed.
"Wicked sorcerers do this to you? Or do you not know?" El Toro wondered.
"Well, back in somewhere known as the Abyss, a big gaping hole that as far as we can tell, is about 25,000 meters down, I have been part of an experiment by Bondrewd. He did this to me. The Strain of Ascension, the curse of going up the Abyss, has done this to me. But my friend, Mitty, suffered it worse. She looks like nothing but a blob now. Sad to see that. So sad. I look like a human-like bunny rabbit instead." Nanachi explains to the pirates.
"Cap'n, I dunno about all this. It's only been a few days till we dealt with Kane, and now we got this?" Birgus brought up. "What about the others?"
"Bonnie's got a good head on her shoulders. She can take up the reins till we get back," Scarlet assured him. To Nanachi, she added, "We can tell you our story later. Right now we need to get our bearings and figure out what we're doing here."
"That is a very good point." Mosquito flew to Scarlet. "Mister Mosquito, ma'am. I am one of the Agents of an Agency known as the Meta-Verse Department Agency. An agency where we protect universes from the forces of evil, notably the Nazis."
"The Armada probably would've been one of them," The captain responded. "I take it that's why you summoned me, correct?"
"We don't know who summoned us here, or what did. But, all we know is that a portal to our reality has been opened, and we got sucked in. Looks like guys are the same." Patamon said.
"And I bet whoever set up that portal only pulled the five of us for a reason, Captain," Wild Bill reasoned. "That's what I wanna know first…don't wanna keep my wife back home worrying for long."
"So, what are we looking at?" MADLAX asked.
Solty looks around. "All I can see is that we're in a village of some sort. And that wall right there." She points at the wall that looks like the Great Wall of China. "I wanna know who built that."
"That wall?" Reg looked behind him. "Oh. That."
"There's no way a single person would have been able to build that - it had to have been built by some sort of army," Birgus guessed.
Riko thinks about this. "I don't even remember running across that in the Abyss."
"Who do you think built it?" Marulk asked.
"I think Birgus can be right. It must be an army that built it. But for what purpose?" Riko then wonders.
"What do you think walls are made for?" Scarlet rolled her eyes. "To keep people out."
"But, what are they trying to keep out is the question." Tilel said.
"I agree with Tilel on that. If they meant to built it to keep someone, or something, out, then there has to be a reason why they can just keep…whatever it is out." Patamon said.
"Tragic accident." MADLAX assumed.
"The wall is big, so they might be keeping something big out. But what?" Riko wonders that as well.
"Might be trying to keep a hold on their territory," Wild Bill thought to himself. "We're no strangers to walls being used to secure any land."
"Oh trust me, the Trojan Mouse thing was quite an experience," Scarlet agreed with a chuckle. "Though I don't think that'll be applicable here."
"I've heard of the Trojan Horse, but what's the Trojan Mouse?" Maryoku asks Scarlet, who is as confused as ever.
"How about we talk over drinks about it, and focus on figuring out our situation?" The captain suggested. "But to make a long story short, snake people. Snake people like mice."
"Ew." Maryoku looks disgusted.
"We might wanna ask the other two as well, maybe ask them questions." MADLAX points at Kurumi's group and Blue's group.
"Well… uh…?" One of the males of Kurumi's group began, a boy with short blue hair and looked like a Generic Protagonist in anime.
MADLAX came to Kurumi's group. "You guys know where we are?"
"That's a stupid question to ask. They might not know." Patamon said.
"I was wanting to check if they have any knowledge of this place or not." MADLAX says to Patamon, then turns to Kurumi's group. The one to respond this time was the only other female of their group, one with long hair that one could swear could drag on the floor of it got any longer.
"Actually… we have no idea either," said the girl. "I was on a date with Shido, then the next thing we both knew, we were falling and ended up here," the girl then shot a glance, not exactly hateful, but more of the 'be on guard' type of stare; then looked back to the rest of the giant group. "As for Kurumi, we haven't seen her in quite some time after… after…" the girl in question began hesitating in her response, as if reliving a painful memory.
Kurumi then giggled. "But we don't know who that guy is." She was obviously mentioning the second male of their group, who looked to have a completely different nationality than theirs.
Suddenly, a black tentacle of some kind began coming out of that very persons shoulder, then took the form of a head that had large teeth that looked like they could even bite through metal, and a pair of white pupil-less eyes. It was honestly creepy… and a bit gross with how slimy it looked.
"I an' I don't know 'im either…but him have a friend living in 'im," Old Scratch, not too fazed by this freaky power, commented to Kurumi.
But, Reg screamed. "What the hell is that?!" He readies his hand, which is a robotized hand, which holds his weapon, the Incinerator. He points it at the slimy thing.
"AHHHH! FIRE!" The slimy thing quickly retreats back into its hosts body. The boy he was attached to watches him go.
"That's Venom. He's a parasite," he said, which he then got whacked in the back of the head by a black tentacle. The boy did not seem affected by this, as if he was used to it. "Name's Eddie… Eddie Brock." The boy introduced himself.
"Can't say I've seen anything like him in the Spiral…" Scarlet remarked. "You two teammates or something?"
"I would ask the same thing, as that was…freaky and…I don't know." Riko has never seen anything like it before.
Reg calms himself down, and puts down his hand.
Eddie then frowns, but not in a sad way. More of a 'I get it' way. "Join the club. He's always buzzing in my head."
Kurumi either found that funny or relatable, so she giggled again. "I'm Kurumi." She said, then a pool of black shadowy mass formed below her. The other girl she was with and the one she named 'Shido' began to take a step or two back, apparently already knowing what was about to happen.
"And I'm Kurumi" Said… a second Kurumi?
"So am I." Said a third Kurumi. Each one had appeared from the black mass and rose up from it as if they were being demonically summoned.
"Jesus Christ. More Kurumis? The fuck is wrong with this?!" Mosquito see this happening.
"You got shadowy dopplegangers, miss?" Wild Bill asked. Scarlet hoped this wouldn't be anything like a certain Monkey King they had in their ranks.
Shido was the one to answer. "That's… kinda complicated." He said. This only made the 3 summoned Kurumis' giggle, but then the 2 extra Kurumis' sunk back into the shadow pool, leaving what everyone assumed was the real Kurumi. "This is Tohka. And she and Kurumi are Spirits." Shido added, motioning to the other girl first, then Kurumi soon after.
"Spirits, huh?" Lucas nodded. "Lucas. I'm your friendly spider. Don't scream, please."
It was here the black tentacle from a bit earlier, the being Eddie called Venom (which unless he had some kind of poison ability, most of the others thought the name was an odd choice) popped back out. "SPIDER!" He said, sounding a little annoyed. "I hate Spiders!"
Eddie rolled his eyes. "You still haven't told me who," he started, then deepened his voice to mimic his slime-pets. "That guy. Is." He added.
"I told you, the Symbiote Hivemind is too much for your tiny human brain to comprehend! It'll probably explode! What a waste of food!" Venom shot back.
"That guy is demonically possessed. He's demonically possessed." Marulk looks frightened at the moment.
"He said that thing was a parasite…" Wild Bill reminded the others. "Clearly two different things."
"Yeah, you can say that again. I, the officer, should have figured…that out…this is annoying." Silvia scratched her head a little.
"Tell me, Venom." Nanachi walks to Eddie and the symbiote. "Is he actually possessed?"
Both Eddie and Venom looked at each other with questioning stares. "… you wanna field that one?" Eddie said.
"It's not like I'm forcing you…" Venom responded.
"You made me hallucinate!" Eddie said in a slightly higher volume.
"I was trying to get your attention…" Venom defended.
"Hallucinate? I got that one time. That was freaky." Riko recalls that time in the Abyss where she actually hallucinated. Not by a Symbiote, but by a curse.
"Thank you!" Eddie said. "Someone gets it!"
"I said I was sorry!" Venom said.
As this was going on; Shido, Tohka and Kurumi looked back and forth at the talking parties; looking at whom was the one talking. "… and I thought I had it weird." Shido muttered. He dealt with Spirits that were girls that had odd personalities, and quakes that formed in the sky, but this…
"We should check that other group also." MADLAX points at the cat's group.
"They look like they might not know." Patamon said, looking at the group.
"I'm afraid you're right as well." MADLAX said.
"Heya, the name's Carl the Contender Cat. Or just call me Carl for short." the green cat said while extending his paw.
"Know about what?" Sylvester asked.
"The hell." MADLAX said.
"About this whole, dimension thing going on." Patamon said.
"Beats me, why don't we ask the writers, they must have everything planned out." Deadpool said.
"Oh great. Another fourth wall breaker. That's just great." Patamon nodded.
"Know any others?" the merk asked.
Venom coughed. Eddie pinched the bridge of his nose whilst sighing with a closed mouth.
"Dude, can you not freak them out?" the final superhero said. His most notable clothing pieces were a black jacket with a gray hood, a stylized "S' symbol on the back. He also wore a white mask with a single red tear painted on the right eye. "Excuse him, this weirdo's been following me for some reason."
Tohka shot a glance at Kurumi when the superhero added that last sentence, and given the Nightmare's history, Kurumi herself giggled with a smile.
"Anyway, you may call me Savior." the hooded hero introduced.
"Superman's new ally?" Hinaichigo asked.
"Where I come from, he's nothing but a character. My powers are real." Savior said.
"Aren't we all just characters?" Deadpool added.
"True." Carl interjected.
"If he asks what Sharknado we're on…" Venom grumbled, but none actually heard him.
"I love this guy." Milk came to Deadpool. "What's your name?"
Deadpool pointed upwards where a massive neon sign displayed his name with a massive arrow pointing to him.
"That answers that question." Sylvester said.
"Nice touch. Here is us, here's the pirates, here is spirits and Venom, then here's two weirdo cats and two weirdo superheroes. What's next?" Mosquito said.
"What did you call me!?" asked Savior with force in his voice.
"Dude, chill." Deadpool said.
"I agree with the ninja." Shido said. "Maybe we should all just calm down."
"My apologies." Savior said.
"No prob, buddy." Carl said with a shoulder clasp.
"I think that's enough of the bickerin'," Wild Bill interjected. "We got bigger things to worry about…"
Then they heard rumbles and they felt it.
"What was that?!" Reg asked.
"I an' I be sensin' that something of great power be coming our way," Old Scratch commented. "We best be hurryin' to safety, otherwise we be doomed fighting that thing."
"If you can't fight it, get behind me." Savior said, now starting to levitate.
"Ohh, fight scene!" Deadpool and Carl quipped. The merc pulled out his swords while Carl put on his boxing gloves.
"If these walls are hiding civilians, we must warn them of the oncoming threat!" El Toro exclaimed. "One of us must go and alert them of what's happening."
Too late, as the walls began to be broken. Then, naked giants broke through. These are Titans.
"Well so much for that plan!" Birgus groaned. "How're we s'posed to beat these things!?"
"Oh shit. I know what those are. Titans." Mosquito said.
"The football team?" Deadpool asked.
"What are they?" Marulk asked, frightened.
"Giants that eats people." Mosquito said.
"Hide me!" Sylvester screamed before hiding behind Carl.
"Show some spine, teach!" Carl said before handing him a mallet.
"If you know what these are, then you gotta know how to beat 'em!" Scarlet exclaimed. "Scratch, boost me up!"
"Aye aye, Captain." Old Scratch waved his wand around as blue light rose up from the ground around him and Scarlet.
The Titans saw them, then roared, then ran towards them.
Savior clenched his fists, "So, do they have a weakness? Or can I just go crazy?" he asked.
"Are you nuts?! Go crazy?!" Reg asked, concerned about Savior.
"Yep, weirdo superhero." Mosquito said.
As for the Spirits and Eddie/Venom, they were quite shocked themselves. The biggest thing Venom/Eddie had seen (due to a Symbiote hivemind) was a purple alien who could end the world with a snap of his fingers provided he had the proper gemstones first. For Kurumi, Tohka and Shido; they have never seen something's that big before unless it was a starship.
"I don't know. Do they have a weakness?" MADLAX asked.
"Hang on." Deadpool said while pulling out an AOT manga and started reading it.
"How's this for a weirdo?" Savior said before flying at high speed towards one of the Titans and ripping it's entire head off with his god-like strength. He then threw the head at one of the other Titans, sending it to the ground.
"...I an' I not see that coming, Cap'n my Cap'n," Old Scratch remarked.
"Yeah, no kidding. We'll want him to be well protected." Scarlet did something similar with her hands, focusing on Savior. "Valor's Armor!" A yellow bubble of light surrounded Savior, which would give him a bit of protection from a few hits.
Savior gave her a thumbs up, "Thanks, still don't know if my invulnerability has any effect in this world."
"Wouldn't want to pick a fight with that guy." Carl said.
"The hell did he do?" Nanachi asked, disgusted by that.
"He ripped the Titan's head off." MADLAX said.
"That's bullshit crazy. Well then." Milk then meditates, then a sword made out of milk appears right before her, then grabs it. "Fight fire with fire."
"My turn!" Deadpool said before tossing the manga and scaling the Titan with a grappling hook, "Ugh, these guys need a shower!" he said before getting up to the neck and slicing the back, blood gushing out.
The Titan screamed in pain, then collapses to the ground.
"That guy is crazy." Syl said.
"That guy is awesome!" Carl said before running up to another of the Titans. He swapped his boxing gloves with a sword and got to work climbing the Titan.
"So that's how to beat these freaks…ey, Toro! I think you can handle 'em better than the rest of us!" Birgus commented.
"I'll definitely keep that in mind, for now I must take flight to strike against the wicked!" El Toro boasted, using his whip to launch himself up into the air, his rapier cutting at another Titan's neck.
Syl, in total fear, tried hitting a Titan's toes to make it fall, the same one Carl was on. The green cat had already killed it, making it fall. "Heh, not too shabby." Syl bragged.
The Titan that El Toro is on tries to get him off, but couldn't.
The bull would jump up and slash at the Titan's neck again, leaving a burning T in the air before slicing one more time to send it away in a flourish of rose petals.
The Titan that El Toro killed then falls to the ground, dead.
Savior ripped out the entire spine of another Titan while Deadpool took a selfie, the carnage his partner was making in the background.
Another Titan was going near the Spirits and the Symbiotes group, though once the shock of the Titans' appearance left their bodies, they sprung into action.
"Sandalphon!" Tohka began in a strong voice that was sort of out of character from her previously kind voice. Perhaps this was another side to her personality. Regardless of that, she stomped the ground and all of a sudden, what appeared to be a throne of some kind erupted from the ground from where she stomped after a swirl of energy. She then pulled out a large so weird that looked like it needed to be held with two hands, but she held it with only one.
She slashed her mighty blade, which then caused a wave of energy to be launched at the Titan. This energy wave ended up hitting the Titans arm. It didn't appear to do anything at first… then an explosion occurred from where the wave impacted. The entire arm was completely severed, make its owner roar in pain. The Titan was still standing, but it looked very pissed off.
Using its foot, it went to stomp on this group…
"Mask?" Eddie asked, though this was more of a rhetorical question.
"Why not?" Venom responded, changing Eddie's body completely from its human appearance to its Symbiotic one. And taller and more muscled, along with fangs and a ridiculously long tounge.
At the same time, Kurumi smirked. "Zafikel!" She announced. Just like with Tohka, she too spawned a weapon out of nowhere, but it's not one one would expect. From behind her, a huge clock appeared with a loud gonging sound, having Roman numerals 1 through 12. Not only that, the same pool of dark mass she summoned to clones of herself with, from it arose a musket and pistol, which she grabbed. "Alpeh." She added, but positioned her pistol to her own head.
Something very odd then happened… dark energy came out of the number 1 on her clock, swirling around her body and her gun before entering its barrel. She then pulled the trigger, but nothing of consequence seemed to happen.
STOMP!
One would think they were stomped on, but it turns out Venom had leaped away (with surprising distance given his size and weight) and began climbing the giants leg. Likewise, Kurumi was shown moving upwards on the giants other leg in a blur, which did not make much sense to anyone else that happened to see her. Not only that, she was carrying Shido in her arms… Didn't that nut literally just clock herself in the noggin?
Kurumi ended up on the Titan's shoulder. "Hehehe, you'd better reward me later…" she said flirtatiously at Shido.
With its other arm gone, the Titan tried taking a chomp out of the 2 tiny people on its shoulder by shifting its neck towards them.
"Zadkiel!" Shido held out a hand and out of nowhere, the Titan's head slowly froze over by ice. It was surprised at this, using its free hand to try and break the ice, which all it took was one slap and it shattered… but that wasn't the point of this, as Shido and Kurumi were now gone.
They were now on top of the Titan's head. "Sandalphon!" Shido called upon the same power Tohka called on before, which did cause the blade to disappear from one owner then reappear in the new one. Shido stabbed the Titan's head, which of course caused extreme amounts of pain.
Like Tohka beforehand, Shido used this weapons energy wave power, but at point-blank range. This caused the Titan's head to blow up, though The only thing remaining was its skull. Skin, muscle, eyes… everything else just vanished or was blown away by the force of the blast.
One eye was falling down, with Venom (Who had gone up to the Titan's chest by this point), jumped off and open his mouth inhumanely wide. The eye fell right into his gaping maw, and he swallowed. "*gulp!* MMMMMMM!" He said, either as a taunt or because he found the taste to be good (both was also a possibility).
"I'll be right back." Riko then ran into one of the village buildings.
"What the hell is she doing?" Mosquito asked.
"You'll see." Reg said.
Riko gets into the building, then begins getting out a belt. She puts it on, then looks up. "Ready." She then walks out of the building. "Everyone, stand back!"
"You heard the lady, get back!" Scarlet ordered her companions, the others falling back a bit to let Riko do what she needed to do.
They got back, then Riko pushed the button on her belt, then grew to the size of the Titans.
"Kaiju power, awesome!" Deadpool cheered.
"How can she do that?" Mosquito asked.
"The Pym Particle Belt." Reg said.
"Isn't that an Ant-Man thing?" Carl asked as he shot an arrow at another Titan, getting it in the eye while Syl hacked it's neck with an axe.
"You know, that is an Ant-Man thing." Lucas now noticed.
"Oh, so we do have our own form of Stupendor-X…" Scarlet mused.
Riko then goes up against a Titan, then smacks the Titan in the face.
"Gotta help her." Lucas then crawled to the Titan, and, despite his tiny size, shoots out spider webs at one of the Titan's legs, where he jumps across its legs while shooting webs all the same time. Once he's done, he makes another spider web to pull the Titan down, to which he succeeds, and the Titan falls to the ground. "That's what a spider does."
"I should introduce you to Spider Man." Deadpool said, "He could certainly use an animal sidekick."
"Very funny, Deadpool." Milk then jumps onto the Titan's back, then slashes it in the neck, killing it.
"My turn." Nanachi shoots lasers out of her eyes, hitting one of the Titans.
Savior moves between Titans, killing them one by one as violently as he could. "You're not hurting anyone while I'm here!"
"He's damned violent." Solty said, then she flew up to one of them, vibrated her hand, then gave one of the Titans a striking blow, sending the Titan to fall to the ground.
"He was made by the same person who made me. He just really hates people or creatures that do bad things." Carl explained as he chopped the fallen Titan's neck.
"I'll say." Hina began bringing vines to her side, then got one of the Titans tangled in her vines.
"I actually had time to get to know him before we got put in here. He's actually a really nice guy once you get to know him." Deadpool said, a Titan's eyeball being attached to his sword.
"Gross!" Fukune said, pointing at the eyeball on Deadpool's sword.
"What? It's a souvenir!" he argued.
Carl came running back with Syl, "Sufferin succotash, how many of these guys are there!?" Syl exclaimed.
"Too many." MADLAX said.
"We'll talk about you and your obsession with eyeballs later." Rikka then runs up to one of the Titans, then grabs out her umbrella, then shoots at the Titan with her umbrella.
Carl grabs Syl as they go to fight another Titan. Savior was still going strong with the Titans he was fighting, ripping and tearing until they were dead.
"There's too many of them!" Patamon said.
"This isn't helping!" Maryoku said.
"Final blow. Everyone get back!" Reg then focuses on all of the Titans, then the blaster in his hand glows, then a very huge blast comes out of his hand, and it hits all of the Titans, killing every one of them. The blast then subsided.
Savior shielded his eyes from the blast. When he opened them, he was surrounded by the bodies of dead Titans, "It's over?" he asked.
"I reckon it's about over, son," Wild Bill remarked, thankful it was over.
"That… was… AWESOME!" Deadpool cheered. "Do it again! Do it again!" he screamed while hopping up and down like a child.
"Was he Iron Man just a minute ago?" Fukune asked.
"Not quite Iron Man, but Iron Man with a huge powerful blaster on him." Mosquito said.
"A blaster, more like a nuke." Carl said while climbing out of an ACME portable bomb shelter with Syl.
Reg calmed down as his hand went back to normal.
Riko presses the button, shrinking herself to normal size.
"So, that's done. Who's up for chimichangas?" Deadpool asked casually.
"I say sushi." Milk said.
While Tohka had no idea what chimichangas were, here mouth did began watering upon hearing 'Sushi'. Shido sighed, while Kurumi giggled.
"I'm up for that." Carl said, with Syl nodding in agreement.
"I'm more of a seafood kind of guy myself." Venom said
Savior just sat down on the ground, contemplating the battle.
"Now that they're killed, what now?" Lucas asked.
"I say we rest. We rest in one of these village buildings here, so we can restore our energy, then move on." Tilel said.
"Good idea. I like a good catnap after a scrap like that." Carl said.
"I just like catnaps in general." Syl added.
Silvia nodded. "I, the officer, agree."
"Let's just head in here so we can rest." Tilel said.
They then proceeded to go into a building to rest up.
"Saying in an abandoned building… nothing bad will ever happen!" Said Venom, who had retreated back into Eddie some time ago.
"Well, this might be someone's house, but for now, we're staying in it for the night." Mosquito said.
Kurumi began giggling at that. "Ara, ara. That brings back memories, doesn't it, Shido-san?" She said to Shido, whom couldn't help but blush. Tohka saw this.
"Shido? What is she talking about?" Tohka asked Shido, holding back a pinch of jealously.
"I, um, er," Shido stuttered. "Nothing. Nothing at all."
"You're lying. You had a date with Kurumi. You had a date with Kurumi." Milk chanted.
Kurumi smirked a bit. "Yes, I guess that's one way to put it..," she said.
"What is the plan?" MADLAX asked.
"Once we are done resting up, we can go out and see where this phenomenon is. Because, who knows, we might find answers to questions that we must seek out." Mosquito said.
"But how?" Marulk asked.
"Who the hell knows." Mosquito said.
"You never know, the answers to your questions can lie in the most unusual of places." Savior said. He then glances over to Deadpool, who is relaxing while reading his own comic.
Reg then felt dizzy, then passed out.
Savior immediately went to check on Reg, "Hey, are you alright?" he asked. Scarlet would do the same, ready to cast some healing magic if Reg needed it.
"That's the Incinerator. The blaster that he used. When he uses it, it'll take him about some amount of time, usually 10 minutes, before he passes out. He'll be out for about two hours or so before he gets up again." Riko explains.
"Either way, we can't leave him here. No telling when those monsters will be back," Wild Bill brought up. "Birgus, you and the captain help carry this gentleman."
"Alright, alright, we'll take care of it," The crab agreed.
"Someone wanna help me get a makeshift stretcher made?" Scarlet asked, looking around for materials.
"We can just put him on the bed. Let him rest up a bit." Tilel suggested.
"What if the Titans come back? Maybe they'll tear this building up." Lucas said.
"I'm sure they're kept at bay for now. But we need to leave by sunrise. Just to avoid more Titans and all." Nanachi said.
"That's why the captain would prefer we're not around the same area," Wild Bill clarified, the old peacock helping Scarlet.
"Don't worry, if worse comes to worse, we'll defend our friend." Carl said.
"I like your attitude." Savior said.
"Thank you, everyone." Scarlet had gathered up the materials and got to crafting the stretcher, loading Reg onto it and carrying one end, with Birgus carrying the other.
Milk sighed. "Welp, looks like we have him in a stretcher."
Nanachi nodded.
Then, later, two hours have passed, and it is sunrise. Reg wakes up, then sees himself on a stretcher. "What in the world just happened?"
"So you're awake. We're walking out of here." Fukune told Reg.
"Hmm. Where to?" Reg asked.
"Who knows." Fukune said.
"Somewhere far away from those monsters, sir," Wild Bill told Reg, unsure of where their destination was, but as far as he knew, the captain wanted answers as to what was going on and why they were here.
Carl and Sylvester were keeping a lookout for any signs of danger.
"It's sunrise. Let's get moving." Nanachi said.
"Right." Milk said.
After that, everyone then left the village building, then began to find a way out of the village, while keeping a lookout for any Titans.
"It's quiet… too quiet…" Deadpool said ominously.
"Not helping, man." Savior chastised.
"What? It builds the atmosphere."
"I wonder what type of atmosphere it builds. Dead Silence." Milk said.
"Usually when someone says that, it turns out to be the opposite. That's movie logic 101 for you, also helps with toon studies." Sylvester explained.
"Ah, teachers. They're always there for you." Carl said while taking notes.
"So, what universe are you even from?" Mosquito asked Riko.
Riko sighed. "I am actually of Earth-838. We four are. Me, Reg, Nanachi and Marulk here. We serve under the loyalty of an organization known as the Illuminati."
"Ah-ha! Illuminati confirmed!" Deadpool shouted with a pointing finger.
"So you mean to tell me there's 838 copies of your planet?" Birgus sounded a bit surprised.
"Aye. I an' I do believe that to be in the realm of possibility," Old Scratch confirmed.
"Well, there isn't actually 838 Earths. There might be an infinite number of Earths. It might go on for Infinity." Riko said.
"Life is full of what if situations, after all," The privateer agreed. "So it's possible that every Earth is a different what if."
"Earth-838… so there's a Multiverse then?" Asked Eddie.
"So that's why we popped in in Mexico…" Venom said.
"Huh. In our Earth, we have something called 'Space Quakes'". Shido said.
"Space Quakes. Scary." Lucas said.
Riko nodded. "There are so many Earths that we decided to number them."
"Who are the Illuminati?" Mosquito asked.
"I can't explain right off, but it does have members such as Professor Charles Xavier, Captain Marvel, Captain Carter, King Black Bolt, Karl Mordo and Mr. Fantastic." Riko explains.
"Aren't they just some conspiracy made up to scare people?" Savior asked. "That was always the case where I come from."
Riko thinks. "They can be, but you never hear from them, as they try to keep themselves a secret or something to that effect. They'll reveal themselves if they need to. As of now me, Reg, Nanachi and Marulk are a part of the Illuminati. Illuminati members in training."
"Well, glad to know we have some members of a group that knows all our horrible secrets by our side." Carl said while putting his arms around all of them.
Reg felt uncomfortable with Carl's hug.
"You can unhug us now." Nanachi said.
Carl let go at the request, "Sorry about that."
"Does that guy still even have the eyeball?" Lucas points at Deadpool.
"Eyeball?" Milk asked, confused.
"Yeah, see?" Deadpool said while holding up the Titan eyeball that he had detached from his sword. "Idea! If you Illuminati guys want to add a little authenticity to your pyramid eye symbol thingy, I'll gladly loan this to you."
"I think Professor Xavier will disapprove." Marulk said.
The three Illuminati members nodded at Marulk in agreement.
Deadpool put the eye away in a space… somewhere, "Look, if I know one thing about baldy on wheels, he has terrible taste."
"To each their own." Savior said.
"Besides, I've read enough of his comics to know that he doesn't really play by his rules." Carl said.
"Thank you! Someone who understands." Deadpool said while petting Carl as he purred.
"Now what?" Nanachi asked.
They then see a portal leading to somewhere.
"Cap'n, look! There's a portal over there!" Birgus exclaimed, causing Scarlet to turn her head with a smile.
"Our passage home, I presume?" Savior wondered.
"I don't think so." Mosquito said.
"Dammit. Looks like we're heading into Chapter 2." Milk said.
"And… Roll transition!" Deadpool said while making finger guns to the camera.
"Not yet." Milk said. "First, we go through the portal, see where it will lead us, then roll credits." Milk said, knowing what's gonna happen next.
"I'll go first." Savior said while walking into the portal. Carl walked in next, followed by Sylvester.
Deadpool dove headfirst into the portal while screaming, "Excelsior!"
"...He certainly seems like he knows a lot more than he's letting on," Wild Bill observed.
The teams looked at each other, then nodded. Then they went through the portal. Then after that, they see that they're not in the AoTverse anymore. They're in a futuristic world.
"Hmm…" Scarlet closed her eyes in thought. The mosquito didn't bring her here, everyone else was seemingly brought into this mess by chance. There were a lot of questions on the pirate's mind, and until she could find the answers to them, she was in for a bumpy ride.
"Hey, loving all the chrome." Carl said, "And I'm not talking about the web browser."
"Where in the world are we?" Hina asked.
"Look up there!" Patamon points at whatever he's pointing.
And what he's pointing at…is the Stark Industries.
"Stark?…" Tohka asked. "That some kind of fish?"
Shido facepalmed.
"Oh, cool. We're gonna pop by Tony's place for a while." Deadpool said.
"My creator…" Reg said.
They all looked at Reg.
"What?!" Everyone asked in confusion.
