A/N: Ten! Ten! Ten! Hello there! This is tendaysromeo and welcome to the 18th chapter of DreamTheater Intermix: The World Within! Nothing much to say, so let's start this chapter!

10... 9... 8... 7... 6... 5... 4... 3... 2... 1... Countdown is over, so let's get this chapter on the go!

Disclaimer: I don't own anything in this story aside from some OCs, the plot and the settings.

It's 11:30 PM and everyone in the city are far asleep. Despite that, a collective known as the Gallery of Champions are still up and awake, and are busy working on protecting the city and it's citizens from the threat Forsaken Entities.

Walking down on one street, Eddy Skipper McGee decided to check things out, so he can understand this line of work better. And due to him being a civilian and his status as a Champion is yet to be made official, he understood that he is not allowed yet to roam around in this time of the night, so he decided to turn himself invisible and concealing his presence at the same time, so no one will notice him.

Eddy perked up when he heard a small explosion from the distance, "Huh? Guess he wasn't kiddin' that things are chaotic at this time of the night." he commented while referring to the Presence, "I guess I better get used to it because I'm taking part of this some time soon." he admitted.

Eddy then came across a playground where he witnessed a man named Kakashi Hatake taking out a bedsheet ghost-like shadowy figure by jabbing it with a blue-colored lightning attack from his left hand, the shadow then let's out a painful scream before vanishing into thin air with Kakashi breathing out a sigh of relief.

"So, that's what a Forsaken Entity looks like." Eddy thought in acknowledgement, "They're creepy as fuck." he commented. Eddy was about to make his leave when he noticed Eric Cartman marching his way towards Kakashi, "Who the hell is that fat bastard?" he questioned.

"Hey! Hey!" Eric called out, "You, Scarecrow!" he emphasized, "Hey!" he shouted, "I'm talking to you!" he exclaimed.

Kakashi facefaulted, "What do you want, Cartman?" he questioned in annoyance, "I'm done in this area, so I'm moving out." he stated.

"Oh no you don't!" Eric exclaimed, "Not until you give me credit for killing that shadow monster!" he demanded, "I'm the best champion in this city and I deserve every recognition you guys do!" he declared

"You don't deserve any credit, Cartman." Kakashi scoffed in argument, "So, would you be a good boy and move along, I'm needed elsewhere." he advised while waving a hand as if shooing a dog.

"You're under my jurisdiction!" Eric declared in insistence, "Obey my orders and give me credits!" he demanded.

Kakashi scoffed, "I am under jurisdiction of Lady Tsunade." he shared, "A superhero wannabee like you doesn't tell me what to do." he declared.

"Ha Ha." Eric chortled, "We'll see about that, retard." he challenged when Kakashi began to walk away, "Scarecrow, here!" he called out, "Wait!" he furthered, "Stay right where you are." he ordered, "That is an order!" he declared.

"Later." Kakashi uttered.

"Grr." Eric growled in annoyance, "Upstart civilian!" he insulted, "I'll get you one day and I'll teach you a lesson or two." he expressed, "And then you'll know what orders are all about!" he exclaimed before marching off.

Eddy watches the racoon-themed superhero walk away in utter disgust, "So that's Eric Cartman that the guys mentioned back at dinner." he thought, "What an asshole." he commented, "Does he really think he deserves recognition with that kind of attitude?" he questioned in disbelief.

Eddy shook his head before resuming his walk and when he arrives at another street, he came across Kakashi having a conversation with a man named Geralt of Rivia underneath a lamppost.

"Ugh!" Kakashi groaned in annoyance, "That Cartman, he's orders mad!" he complained, "Orders come before common sense in his terms." he stated.

Geralt sighed, "I've been dealing a lot of crap with him too, Kakashi." he confessed, "He hardly done anything to help the city and all he do is loiter around, and now he had the nerve to complain about not getting any credit." he stated, "I feel sorry for his mother, I really do." he expressed.

"Me, too." Kakashi uttered in agreement.

Both men then noticed a trio of armored men named Dexter Grif, Dick Simmons and Super Colonel Sarge loading up a pickup truck with boxes of explosives and munitions.

"Hey, do you know what they're doing?" Geralt pointed out, "They're shipping those things to the outer barrier." he explained, "Seems like a group plans on nuking a nest filled with Forsaken Entities." he added, "The guys taking part of this task at the outer barrier really had it rough." he commented.

"Well, Geralt, buddy, I'm going to have me a little bit of a rest at Pop's Moon Palace." Kakashi shared, "It's been a hard tow and I'm feeling a bit low." he admitted before walking off and at the same time, Grif, Simmons and Sarge got into the truck before moving off.

Suddenly, Eric then walks past Geralt, "I want you to credit me with your work!" the fat bastard demanded, "Credit me or else!" he threatened before disappearing out of sight.

Geralt rolled his eyes, "As if." he scoffed before grabbing his stuffs and then walking off.

Eddy scratches the top of his head, "Men..." he uttered, "... that Cartman is a really piece of shit." he commented.

Upon walking towards a corner of another street, Eddy noticed Eric walking towards a man named Ganondorf Dragmire whom is seated on a bench while waiting for something.

"Hey there!" Eric called out, "Hey there!" he repeated, "You!" he shouted, "Yeah, you!" he added, "Mister ugly!" he insulted, "Collect some badges and proceed to the practice area now!" he demanded.

Ganondorf frowned but kept his composure, "I'm standing by, waiting for orders to proceed to the old block." he explained.

"And those orders are canceled!" Eric declared, "And I'm in charge, practice area, now!" he demanded, "And then don't leave until I tell you." he advised, "Do I make myself clear?" he questioned, "Now move." he beckoned, "Fast as a flame! Fast as a flame!" he egged while walking off.

Gandondorf flips a middle finger at the retreating form of Eric, "Fuck you!" he exclaimed, "You don't tell me orders!" he declared.

"Damn straight!" Eddy thought in agreement.


A few minutes later, Eddy arrives in another street where he comes across a group gathered in front of a warehouse with a young man named Lelouch Lamperogue standing in front of everyone.

Amongst the group are seven individuals named Ajna, Andy Bogard, Flak, Frederick, Gloria Southerland, Guile and Maribelle.

Intrigued with such gathering, Eddy decided to blend in and began to listen to their conversation.

"Right, team." Lelouch begun, "We're on servicing Marines maneuvers again." he announced, "Both Kakashi and Geralt had been laying marker buoys in several areas." he shared, "Remember, no shortcuts." he chastised, "Use the official entry." he beckoned, "You all know the Marines." he mused with everyone grumbling in response, "Don't grumble, it's a good, regular tactic." he reasoned, "Just get on with it." he egged, "You're lucky." he pointed out, "You're not taking part in any tasks outside the barrier." he pointed out, "Both the Blood Gulch Crew and Da Bullies already had that covered." he revealed, "Heh, heh, so give them a wide berth." he mused, "Make myself clear, Flak?" he singled out, "No high wakes." he advised.

Flak looks at him in confusion, "I don't make high wakes, Mister Lamperouge, no Sir." he dismissed with the others murmuring in disagreement.

Lelouch chuckled, "Not much." he mused, "To the East Side City Junkyard Alley for you then." he ordered towards Flak.

Maribelle crossed her arms, "I'm really not in a mood to do a patrol tonight." she lamented, "Especially with that Cartman faffing around us." she specified, "I can't stand that poor excuse of a human being." she admitted, "What a terrible bore he is with his orders, isn't he?" she commented.

Flak looks at her with a smirk, "Then you go to the East Side City Junkyard Alley then." he beckoned with everyone laughing in response.

Maribelle then looks at him with an offended expression, "Me?!" she squawked in disbelief, "How can you suggest such a thing?" she demanded while watching Flak walk away.

"And less talk from you, Maribelle." Lelouch advised, "Or you will find yourself on garbage." he threatened with everyone laughing in response.

Maribelle pouted, "That is not funny." she huffed, "It would ruin my image." she complained with everyone howling in laughter.

Lelouch shook his head, "Okay team, stow it!" he beckoned, "Maribelle..." he called out.

"Yes?" Maribelle responded.

"Head towards Endstreet." Lelouch ordered, "And don't argue..." he uttered, "... just go." he beckoned.

Maribelle sighed, "Do I have to go on a living with this motley team?" she uttered before walking off.

"Oi..." Guile called out.

Ajna then steps forward, "Mister Lamperouge, we've just about had enough of Maribelle's insults." she stated, "She's more trouble than she's worth." she pointed out.

Gloria chuckled, "Aye." she uttered in agreement, "And you said that wasn't very much, didn't ya, Ajna?" she mused.

"I said stow it." Lelouch repeated, "Ajna." she called out, "Go to LlamaOP's, recruit Dhar and Razmi, and afterwards all three of you should head towards Karmyne Plaza." he instructed.

Ajna nodded, "Right sir." she complied before walking off.

"Well said, Ajna." Gloria complimented, "She's a pain in the funnel." she commented.

"The way that she moves her head about, I'd say she's a pain in the neck!" Ajna joked.

"That's right!" Guile uttered in agreement while Andy and Gloria chuckled in amusement.

"Gloria, go to the Pokemon Center at Virgo Central." Lelouch ordered, "Meet up with Ash Ketchum and Red, and the three of you will be joining the others in patrolling that area." he instructed.

Gloria nodded, "Alright, aye, good." she complied, "I like Ash and Red!" she exclaimed in glee before walking off.

"Guile, Andy..." Lelouch called out, "Head towards Metro States Area, Chun-Li is waiting for you, seems like some problems are arising there." he explained.

Andy nodded, "Right, sir." he complied.

"We'll be right there soon." Guile added.

Andy and Guile then walks off, Lelouch then turns to the remaining member of the team, "Frederick?" he called out.

"Yes, sir?" Frederick responded.

"Thanks for winning us the millennium contract." Lelouch expressed in gratitude.

"That's okay, Sir." Frederick reassured.

"Meet up with Chrom and Robin at other side of this town, and head towards the Lacrum Bridge." Lelouch ordered, "They'll provide you the details of what to do there." he stated.

Frederick nodded in response before walking off and at the same time, Lelouch went back inside the warehouse. Meanwhile, Eddy stood there in utter surprise and awe.

"Wow..." Eddy uttered, "... if school gatherings were just as interesting as this, then I wouldn't mind being part of it from time to time." he uttered in admittance.


A few minutes later, Eddy is seen walking through an empty street, looking around for anything interesting while hearing gunshots and explosions from the distance.

"I wonder how people manage to sleep well with all these noises going around outside." Eddy thought out loud, "I guess the inner barrier had some sort of sound proof or whatever." he assumed.

Then two girls named Honoka Nonaka and Marie Rose Aizawa ran past him in a hurry, much to his confusion, though he did overhear their conversations.

"Hurry, Honoka!" Marie beckoned, "A large number of troublesome creatures appeared in CrownCore and we need to aid the others in getting rid of it!" she stated.

Honoka nodded, "Alright!" she complied.

Watching the girls disappear in a corner, Eddy made a thoughtful expression, "Hmmm..." he hummed out loud, "Troublesome creatures, huh?" he uttered, "Might as well check it out myself." he told himself.

A/N: Thank you very much for reading this chapter, I hope that you all enjoyed it.

Fans of TUGS will recognized that a lot of conversations in this chapter are based from the episode "Munitions" which happens to be my favorite episode.
