[War Ruins, Earth-8751]
Moments after leaving the Unity Force Earth through the Multiverse Portal in Harmony Tower, we see Ichika Takatsuki, Rinon, Hayate Ayasaki, Nagi Sanzenin, Kanta Mizuno, Zoro Roronoa, Maya Tendou, Ben Tennyson, Renge Miyauchi, Sayo Hikawa, Hina Hikawa, Ako Udagawa, Rinko Shirokane, Brook, Usopp, and Tony Tony Chopper arriving at what seems to be Chito and Yuuri's world. Zoro remembered what Chito said about her world being futuristic in nature, but he is far more inclined to be sceptical about it, when the entire group later arrive at a ruins of what seems to be war.
They soon realise what Chito's world truly is: a vast and wreaked futuristic world that is far off from what they initially knew about Chito and Yuuri. Zoro already knew about the survivors, but they do not expect this newfound sight through their own eyes.
"Is this Chito-san and Yuuri-san's world?" Ichika questioned.
"What the hell happened to this place?" Kanta asked. "This is something out of a war movie." He continued.
"It's snowing." Sayo pointed out.
"And empty." Maya added.
"Where are anyone here?" Hina questioned.
"Only an apocalypse would cause such a destruction like this. Not to mention, weapons of mass destruction." Hayate pointed out.
"Whatever the case, we must find Chito-san and Yuuri-san in this empty world." Zoro added.
"Not to mention, the threat grandpa has just mentioned from the mission briefing." Ben pointed out, who is referring to the mysterious figure that Chris Redfield detected earlier.
"But... where do we start?" Usopp questioned, as he looks around. "This place is too big. Not to mention, we know absolutely nothing about how their own world works." He continued.
"We should split up into two teams." Zoro declared. "Myself, Maya-san, Ichika-san, Rinon, Hayate-san, Sanzenin-san, Kanta-san, and Ben-san will be searching for both Chito-san and Yuuri-san." He ended, as he takes out his Wado Ichimonji.
"And us?" Usopp asked, referring to the others.
"You'll be checking for anything suspicious, and maybe find some people here. Sayo-san will take in-charge of your group." Zoro continued. "While this place may be quiet, the Grand Headmaster's revelation about this 'mysterious figure' points otherwise." He ended. "Just prepare yourselves for whatever inevitable will happen here." Zoro answered.
"It is time for Dark Princess Ako to help in this matter!" Ako said, causing Usopp to facepalm.
"Can you stop with this chunnibyou bullshit, Ako?" Usopp chided.
"There's nothing wrong with Ako enlightening us in this bleak world, you know?" Brook added.
"That's just Udagawa-san being Udagawa-san." Sayo pointed out.
"That's what she gets for playing too much online games!" Usopp argued. "And you too, Rinko!" He pointed at Rinko.
"I'm not acting like Ako-chan." Rinko disputed.
"But maybe she brings some light in this world." Chopper casually said.
"YOU TOO?!" Usopp exclaimed.
"Listen, we'll be going now. Sayo-san, contact me if there's something else iffy going on." Zoro said to Sayo, with her nodding, before his group later separates with Sayo's group.
"Oh, and please keep a lookout on Miyauchi-san, Hina-san." Kanta said.
"Boppin'!" Hina said.
"Don't worry about me, non~." Renge said.
With Sayo's group staying at the destination they have just arrived from the portal to be on the lookout for something off the place, Zoro's group later splits with them, as they head deeper into the remains of an unknown war, in hopes of locating Chito and Yuuri in this vast, post-apocalyptic world.
Moments have passed, Zoro and the rest of his group have reached into another area of the war ruins, where they see a tank lying around in the middle of the snowy ground, as well as weapons, shells, and even destroyed materiel laying around the ground.
"This is some next-level war that happened here." Kanta said.
"Speaking of war, you haven't told us about your own world." Hayate said.
"Did I?" Kanta questioned sarcastically and dumbly.
"Yes, really." Nagi said annoyingly.
"Well, the Dark Age people caused the entire world to be a post-apocalyptic desert." Kanta said. "That was like hundreds of years ago before I was even born." He continued, as he loads his shotgun.
"Desert?" Ben asked. "You mean you lived most of your life in a desert?" He added. "So that explains the reason behind your clothing when you firstly come here." He ended.
"It's called a Zero Type suit." Kanta explained. "Without it, you'll be really dead in no time, given how hot my own world is every single morning." He added.
"That would make sense why you're Rug-man!" Hayate mocked.
"How about you try roaming the Great Kanto Desert with that stylish butler clothes of yours?" Kanta retorted. "And tell me who lives longer. The Rug-man or me?" He questioned increduously.
"Now, now." Ichika said. "There's no time to fight." She added kindheartedly.
"Also, who are these 'Dark Age' people you've just mentioned, Kanta-nii-san?" Nagi asked.
"Modern people like you." Kanta said. "Except they're crazy, since the last war from the distant past caused my own world to be a complete desert." He ended rather annoyingly.
"Wait, stop." Maya said, as she sees vehicular tracks on the snowy ground. "Tracks. This must be an important piece of information." She added.
"That can be only made by one vehicle: Chito and Yuuri's Kettenkrad." Zoro deduced.
"We should follow it." Ben said. "Who knows, this might help us know where they are." He continued.
"We may be on the right track." Hayate said.
"Only problem is where they are now." Kanta added.
Zoro's group have followed the set of tracks the Kettenkrad had just made at an unknown time period, thinking this might lead them to Chito and Yuuri. Ben later uses his device known as the Omnitrix to transform as one of the forms known as Rath, which makes him an excellent tracker.
"What the?!" Hayate asked. "Is that Ben-san?" He asked.
"I'm Ben, but I'm currently transforming as Rath from the Omnitrix." Ben said. "I'll try tracking the scent of the gasoline from Chito and Yuuri's Kettenkrad." He added. "But we need to hurry up, since my Omnitrix is not that everlasting." He ended.
"That would be a good idea." Zoro added. "Now lead the way." He ordered.
"I hope Sayo's group still hold out in there." Maya said.
As Zoro's group begin to follow the trail, they are unaware that something is amiss behind them. With Sayo's group, they later head at the other side of the war ruins, where they see something else completely different.
"Speaking of Zoro, I wonder how they are holding up in there." Chopper said.
"I hope they don't wander into enemy territory all of a sudden." Usopp said.
"At a place like this, I highly doubt there will be other unknown people attacking us." Sayo pointed out.
"Nyanpasu~!" Renge pointed at a strange anomaly not far from where they are.
"What is that?" Brook asked.
"This means trouble!" Usopp exclaimed. "But do not recklessly charge into it!" He claimed.
"Like you're the one to talk!" Sayo argued.
"Uh, Onee-chan? Guys?" Hina said, as she looks at her corners, before creatures start appearing.
Suddenly, four strange, beast-like creatures, all threatening in nature, have cornered Sayo's group, as they are about to attack, while gnawing their teeth. These creatures are far more threatening in nature, as their rocky body is surrounded by green energies that are beyond description for anyone else to understand, as well as metallic enclosures in most of their bodies. They are known as Fel Beasts, creatures from the Warcraft universe, and more specifically a Wrath Hound.
"W-what are those things?!" Rinko exclaimed.
"This is nothing like what we see in Neo Fantasy World." Ako said.
"Whatever these things are, we should stop them." Sayo said.
"But how, Onee-chan?!" Hina rhetorically exclaimed. "There's too many of them!" She pointed out, as six more Wrath Hounds have appeared.
"Damn it." Sayo cursed.
"I don't expect this sudden encounter!" Usopp cowardly said. "We should get out of here!" He attempts to run, only for him to get pulled by Sayo.
"You're not leaving!" Sayo said. "Face it like the Unity Force hero you are!" She ended.
"Never mind about that, look up there!" Chopper said, as he sees a different, rather demonic figure approaching at the Wrath Hounds.
Within the vicinity of the Wrath Hounds, the demonic figure then appears. The demonic creature has red skin, large demonic horns, red demonic wings, and cloven hooves. He wears a grey and obsidian armour set, consisting of a pauldron, poleyn, greaves, gauntlets, and a fauld with a green orb in the middle of it. He is also seen holding a scimitar in one of his hand. This is Lord Azrethoc, a creature known as the doomguard, who is affiliated with the demonic army known as the Burning Legion. He serves as one of the army's commanders.
"Surrender yourself now, or I'll make your deaths quick and inevitable." Azrethoc declares.
"Who are you?" Chopper asked.
"Lord Azrethoc, one of the commanders of the Burning Legion." Azrethoc introduced.
"Whatever you're planning, it won't work on us." Chopper warned, causing Azrethoc to just laugh mockingly.
"Foolish mortal." Azrethoc spat. "Who are you to talk against a commander of the Burning Legion?" He added.
"Doesn't matter who you are, but we are here for a fight!" Brook exclaimed.
"Nyanpasu~!" Renge added.
"Very well, then." Azrethoc calmly responded. "Kill them!" He ordered as he points his scimitar to the group, causing the group of Wrath Hounds to charge towards Sayo's group.
"It's do or die!" Usopp declared.

And with that, Sayo's group prepare themselves for a battle against the beasts.
Sayo begins to freeze her own body, as one of her arms, as she takes out her guitar, before transforming it into an icy mallet. Hina, on the other hand, later uses her guitar, as it transforms into a rapier with blue flames surrounding it. Sayo charges at one of the hounds, as she violently smacks one of them with her mallet, causing one of the hounds to be thrown somewhere else. Hina later joins in, as she dashes through one of the hounds before unleashing a roundhouse kick into a hound, as she stabs another of the Wrath Hounds into its chest.
Ako later transforms into the appearance of a necromancer, which is the same class she plays in Neo Fantasy Online, before Rinko transforms into a fire wizard, which is the class she plays with the same game. Apparently, their delusions of grandeur have somewhat become considered useful to this scenario.
"Ready for this, Rin-rin?" Ako asked, with Rinko nodding. "The Demon Princess known as Ako will hereby eliminate you all!" She declared, as she summons a group of skeleton army. "They might be too many..."
"Let's get this over with." Rinko declared suddenly, which is a contrast to her personality. "Flaming Inferno!" She shouted, as she uses her staff, before a giant column of flames surround a group of Wrath Hounds.
"Pathetic." Azrethoc scoffed, as he sends a few Wrath Hounds, while he watches at the scene in front of them.
Usopp later takes out something in his bag with shells on it, which is known as a Dial, but more specifically an Impact Dial, which will explode on contact and absorb any powerful blows from any opponent, should they attack towards him, at the direct expense of causing recoil from the released energy being almost akin to the blow of the attacker. He then proceeds to put an Impact Dial on one of his palms as he charges towards a Wrath Hound.
"Eat shit and die!" Usopp yelled, as a Wrath Hound growls demonically, before the Hound presses the middle of the Impact Dial through its horn, causing a violent explosion to happen, as four Wrath Hounds are thrown away from the blast, causing Azrethoc to be dismayed over this.
Unfortunately for Usopp, however, the blast from the Impact Dial causes an immense recoil, as it absorbed the powerful attack of the Wrath Hound, causing him to be thrown into one of the rusted trucks.
"Usopp-san!" Sayo exclaimed. "Are you okay?!" She rhetorically asked.
"I'm fine!" Usopp said. "Damn right... My hand feels like it's about to rip apart." He added.
Brook, meanwhile, takes out his walking cane, which doubles as a sword, known as a shikomizue. However, it is officially known as the Soul Solid, as he can use it to envelop the blade with his soul through his Devil Fruit ability, thus making his sword freezing cold.
"Come here you little hounds!" Brook excitedly said. "'Soul King' Brook will be always prepared for any fights you throw." He added, as he fights off the group of Wrath Hounds with his swordsmanship.
Tony Tony Chopper's Devil Fruit allows him to transform into one of his forms, the Horn Point form, causing him to have enlarged antlers that are thicker and blunt, which resembles of a stag beetle. His forearms are larger and has hooves, instead of his hands. His legs and feet have a humanoid structure, despite it still being hooved. He is also taller, as well.
"Whoa!" Hina said. "Is that even Chopper-san?!" She said.
"That's his Horn Point form!" Usopp commented.
"Horn Cannon: Eleven!" Chopper declared, as he launches himself from the ground, before he goes flying, as he charges his horns towards a group of Wrath Hound, causing most of them to be thrown away.
"Now it's my turn, non~" Renge said. "Magical Girl Prism Heart, here we go!" She said, as she takes out her recorder from her pocket, before she plays one of her created songs from it, causing a melody to play out.
Renge's own recorder then suddenly shines into a bright light, as it transforms into a staff with a prismatic orb in the middle of it, shocking Azrethoc. What's more, however, is that her entire appearance suddenly changes, as her body shines into a bright, prismatic light. Her hair later transforms into two braided pigtails, as well as her wearing purple frilly clothes, white Mary Janes, and white socks.
"Miyauchi-san...?" Sayo looks at Renge.
"Nyanpasu~!" Renge called out. "I'm Magical Girl Prism Heart!" She declared.
"Another pathetic so-called hero." Azrethoc mocked. "You are no match against the Burning Legion!" He added, as he orders two of the Wrath Hounds to attack Sayo.
"Huh?" Sayo asked as she turns her head to Renge, before two Wrath Hounds suddenly jump towards her.
"Onee-chan, look out!" Hina warned, but it was too late for Sayo. However, Renge later uses her staff as she aims it towards the Wrath Hounds, before uttering the following words: "Prismatic Beam". As expected, a powerful beam of prismatic light is aimed towards the hounds, causing them to be disintegrated.
"What is the meaning of this?!" Azrethoc questioned annoyingly, as his army of Wrath Hounds are defeated by Sayo's group.
"Don't sweat about the details, Nyanpasu~!" Renge said.
"Curse you, mongrels!" Azrethoc angrily exclaimed, as he watches at his dying minions "You think you have won this time? It's just the beginning of your end, and I'll be back!" He then disappears, as he flies away.
"Is anyone okay?" Sayo asked, as the rest of her group turn back to normal.
"My own hand still hurts from the Impact Dial." Usopp stands up.
"What was that thing we just fight off?" Chopper said.
"Not to mention, this so-called Burning Legion." Brook added.
"Whatever that Azrethoc creature is will surely be trouble for all of us." Renge declared.
Suddenly, as the group begin to leave the war ruins Sayo's tablet rings, as she promptly answers Zoro's call.
"Roronoa-san." Sayo spoke. "Have you found any trace regarding Chito-san and Yuuri-san?" She added.
"We've just fended off an attack earlier from these demonic creatures." Zoro responded.
"Speaking of that, we just fought off those Wrath Hounds and we saw this Azrethoc." Sayo added. "It looks like we are in the same boat as your group." She ended.
"Whatever the case, rendezvous now." Zoro said. "As for Chito-san and Yuuri-san, we haven't found them yet, albeit we are in the right track." He continued.
"Where are you guys at?" Sayo asked.
"We're heading into an abandoned munition factory." Zoro replied.
"Alright, we're coming there in a minute." Sayo ended the call.
[Munition Factory Ruins, Earth-8751]
With Zoro's group, after fending off a surprise attack similar to the ones Sayo's group experienced, they later arrive at what seems to be an abandoned munitions factory. Heading into the empty building, or so it seems, they are suddenly greeted by four figures inside, three female and one male, all in a battle stance and ready to attack the group. Of course, this scared Kanta out of his wits, as well as Nagi and the rest.
The first female is a young girl who is about Laala Manaka's age. She has sharp purple eyes with a streak of pale blue. Her hair is vibrant purple and worn in a ponytail that flares outward at her shoulders. Her straight cut bangs are eye length and she has thick forelocks covering her ears. On the corner of her head is a pale pink flower on a ribbon. She wears a matching accessory on her uniform. This is Shuka Hanazono, one of the PriPara idols and a member of the EVER GOLD idol group.
The second female is also a young girl who has large golden eyes depicting down-pointing clock hands and thin, midnight blue lashes to match her long hair. She has a long midnight blue hair tied in twintails, with bangs facing to the left side of her face. She also has a dark blue and gold headphone piece and a mini-hat on her head. This is Garara・S・Leep, a PriPara idol and a Spirit of Time, who is known as a Vocal Doll. She happens to be Shuka's friend, who is also a member of EVER GOLD.
The third female is a Caucasian female. She is slightly tall, with long red hair and freckles on her cheeks and nose. Her hair is pulled back with braids in the back and on the sides. She also has accessories in her hair such as beads. Her eyes are green and her eyebrows are narrow. She also wears a tribal outfit, and is exceptionally well-built. This is Aloy, a machine huntress, seeker, and a Nora Brave.
The lone male is a Caucasian male, likely no older than his thirties, with a tall, heavyset frame and light blue eyes. He has dark brown hair styled in a mohawk, along with thick sideburns that join with a mustache. He is seen wearing a tribal armour, with is comprised heavily of forged steel held in place with leather straps. His clothing has a dull color palette of whites, oranges, and neutral colors. This is Erend, a member of the tribe known as the Oseram.
"Whoa!" Kanta exclaimed. "We're not your enemies!" He raised his hand.
"Damn right!" Erend yelled.
"What are you doing here?" Aloy asked.
"We were looking for Chito-san and Yuuri-san." Maya added.
"Chito-san? Yuuri-san?" Shuka asked.
"We've just fended off an attack from those whatever creatures earlier, and now you're asking us this ridiculous question from out of nowhere?!" Garara asked heatedly.
"Calm down, Garara-chan." Shuka said.
"What the hell is going on?" Kanta asked. "We also encountered those freaks earlier, so you're not alone." He said.
"It's about my twin sister Falala・A・Larm." Garara morosely said. "Those creatures we just fought off... Some powerful entity suddenly took her away, and I don't want to know what they're going to do with her!" She continued in a rather panicking manner.
"We had no choice but to take refuge over this facility, when we were overwhelmed by those creatures." Aloy said, as she crafts some arrows for her bow.
"Who knows how much of those fiends will appear again." Erend added.
"Listen." Zoro said. "We're also looking for both Chito-san and Yuuri-san as well, and we hope those bastards didn't lay a hand on them." He continued.
"And we'll promise we can save your twin sister." Nagi said, as she pats Garara's head.
"But for now." Shuka said. "Who are all of you?" She asked.
"We're the Unity Force, and the rest of our group will be coming here." Ichika said.
"Unity Force?!" Shuka exclaimed. "Hibiki-sama told me that rest of the PriPara are there!"
"You know them?" Maya asked. "Laala-san happens to be with us, as well." She added.
"Oh, I see." Shuka responded. "I know it sounds kind of incredibly weird, but we want to join in, as well, including Garara-chan and Mimiko-chan." She ended.
"We'll deal with that problem later." Zoro said. "For now, we should plan out on locating Chito-san and Yuuri-san, once the rest of our own group rendezvous here." He ended.
"And we'll save Falala-chan, as promise!" Nagi gestured with a thumbs-up.

And their matters only worsen when Garara's twin sister Falala・A・Larm has been kidnapped, where they suspect of a rather sinister plan being concocted, but they are not certain about it yet.
