This chapter is another Review Chapter, meaning someone recommended it in the reviews! Today's was recommended by MBS41, who asked "Can you do it where the MHA cast react to other universes that aren't themselves or Deku". This was an old one back in February and I decided to go with this one for today. While a few others would also be interesting, I thought of going back and looking at some of the older ideas, and this one stood out a lot.

I do hope people begin to recommend more ideas for chapter 18. I am curious as to what people would want to see this audience react to.

Also, at this point, the bashing is over. I'm quite over that phase in my stories so all of the earlier chapters and stories that have been around for awhile should have zero bashing from this day on. I apologize to all who found it offensive, since a "Ainz oal gown" found it annoying and I brushed it off at first.

With that out of the way, why don't we begin today's chapter. It's been a while after all.

Chapter 15: Elsewhere

In the theater, the My Hero cast had been trying to find another secret way out of the theater. This next attempt was a bit random at most, but still, it was a worthy attempt.

"I'm ready!" Kirishima said as he put on his helmet, before jumping into a large canon Yaoyorozu made.

"I'm not sure why we're even doing this," Yaomomo told everyone, having second thoughts as she lit a match.

Kaminari walked up to her and took the match. "Because Kirishima is the hardest of us all-" Zarbon let out a moan somewhere. "-and because he's the most willing despite this being my idea." Kaminari lit the fuse for the cannon. "It's gonna blow!"

"OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOO!" Zarbon moaned from somewhere.

As everyone scrambled to take cover and Kaminari and Yaoyorozu adjusted that cannon's aim so it hit the door to Lego's base, or wherever the doors led to, Lego suddenly came in through said doors and also in his normal outfit whenever he came in on previous days that weren't special. "So, I'm ready-" he then saw the Kirishima loaded cannon that was currently pointed at his face, and then said, "Shit."

He closed the doors and the cannon fired, and didn't even leave a dent in the door. Lego reopened it afterwards and laughed at Kirishima. "HA! Nice try, but these doors are indestructible!" As that happened, he failed to notice two invisible people walking past him to the side and through the doors. He closed the doors like nothing happened though. "Now, where were we?"

"Trying to escape," Kaminari said before he sighed. "We're never gonna get out of here…"

"One day you'll understand that you're better off listening," Lego said. "And doing as I say."

All For One, along with the rest of the League, simply raised an eyebrow. "He'd make for a great villain, not gonna lie," Tomura said.

"Too bad he'll probably never join our side," All For One responded.

"Right you are!" Lego said. "Now, let's begin today's bullshit adventure!" He pulled out a remote, before sighing. "Is what I would say, if not for the fact that lately we've been experiencing a few issues with the system, and won't be able to view any worlds from your guys' multiverse. So nothing My Hero will be seen today."

"However," Vlad King began, anticipating Lego's next choice of words.

"However, we'll instead doing an interesting thing today thanks to the technical free space given to us and let you guys see what other random worlds pop up if we shift it to 'All'," Lego finished as he clicked a button on his remote that said, quite literally, 'All'.

As the theater booted up, from the fridge came Endeavor, who actually looked cold judging from how he shivered as he walked to his seat, while wearing a heavy wool coat. "How was the fridge?" All Might asked.

"It's absurdly cold in there," Endeavor responded. "Who the hell even implemented that thing into the theater?!"

"Probably the workers from when we were building the theater, and they forgot to remove the fridge," Lego responded, before returning his attention to the screen.

Somewhere in the frozen and cold wasteland lies a long forgotten and broken town that was occupied by a small number of robots wielding a random assortment of guns. From Snipers, to ARs, SMGs, and a couple who just place down traps and some who's only mission is to blow up.

"So. How was patrol?" One of the robots asked one of his comrades in a robotic tone.

"Same as normal," the comrade answered in the same tone and voice. "I wonder if we should leave soon."

"We've been tasked to defend this area, even at the cost of our lives," the first one replied.

"What are we defending again?" The second asked.

"We're defending the artifact in this area," the robot answered. "And it's import-" Suddenly, something rolled up to them, and they turned to see a ball that was pulsing blue, before the two robots looked at each other as the grenade exploded and killed them both.

Suddenly, gun fire was heard before one of the robots who was guarding what looked like a chest was hit by a rocket and was destroyed. The person behind all of this looked at the chest and opened it, before grabbing the artifact inside, and sighing.

"Damn…" the woman said. "This wasn't worth coming out here at all…"

"Well, looks like Argo was right with her information," a voice said, before the woman turned to see someone sitting on the ledge of the building above her. "Hi Kureha. It's been a moment hasn't it?"

"Go away Zeliska," the now identified Kureha said, clearly not happy to see Zeliska.

"Hmm, interesting," Lego said. "Didn't expect to see them."

"You know them?" Iida asked.

"No comment," Lego responded.

"You know that you're only hurting yourself more by staying away from him," Zeliska told the gunslinger. "He and Rei are worried about you."

"Is that all?" Kureha asked as she began to walk away. "If he's worried then he should've come find me himself."

"Actually, he doesn't know that I'm here, since I left the squadron," Zeliska answered, confusing Kureha, before she turned to look at the woman who was known as the Uncrowned Queen. "But, regardless of that, I think you need to see him."

"Why should I?" Kureha questioned.

Zeliska sighed, before she said, "You're only going to be hurting more people than it's worth if you hold onto that grudge with your sister."

"I've been overshadowed by her in reality, and I'm overshadowed by him in this game," Kureha said. "I want to finally have an accomplishment under my belt, and it seems no matter what I'm always overshadowed by someone or something!" Kureha was sounding distressed at this point. "So explain to me why this is happening?!"

Zeliska shook her head. "You should know the answer to that, since it's in your heart." Zeliska suddenly swiped her hand down in the air and a menu popped up like in the virtual reality games. She tapped a few buttons, before looking at Kureha and saying, "But I think you need to heal it first before you get the answer." Suddenly, she teleported away, and left Kureha in the cold.

"Heal my… heart?" Kureha questioned.

Sword Art Online: Fatal Bullet

Kureha's Self Improvement Mission

"So that's what's happening," Lego said. "Interesting. This is good oneshot material for story plot."

"So you do know these people," Jiro said.

"Yes," Lego said. "You see, this game is as it says. Sword Art Online: Fatal Bullet. The game is simple. You're a gunslinger in a third person shooter game, with choices to use guns from all categories. ARs, Snipers… hell, you can even use a sword in this game, though it's not recommended because… well, guns." He leaned forward in his chair. "It's obvious Fatal Bullet shares a few similarities with the original anime and light novel series, but I'm not sure how far as I've only watched Season 1 of Sword Art Online, and bought this game on a whim since it was on a discount and it came with all the DLCs for it. But it's a fun game, I will not lie… even if it doesn't act like what we just saw."

"Go figure," Awase commented.

At SBC Glocken, Kureha was walking around the only PvP restricted area which was the whole city and thought hard on what Zeliska said about her heart and how it needed healing. What did that even mean? How does someone heal a heart?

And why does she need healing anyways? She's fine! She's perfectly fine! No problems whatsoever! Right?

Kureha looked at where the Governor's Office was from where she was. It was far away, and it was also a painful reminder of what happened these past months for her. From being a part of the Squadron that cleared the SBC Flügel quest, all the way back to when her friend first joined the game and obtained Rei during his first Bullet of Bullets tournament, with that absurd luck of his.

Kureha thought back to a few weeks ago, before she left the Squadron and became a Solo player.

She was weak.

She's always been that way…

But why is it that he just seemed to be better at this than her? This was his first game, and he was a lower level than her too. It wasn't fair.

In reality, her sister was the one she was overshadowed by, solely because her sister was perfect. Perfect grades, looks, whatever activity she'd do. They moved solely so she could get a better education and move onto college. While she was simply Kureha. There was nothing to her other than the fact she was the sister of little Miss Perfect. No one saw her accomplishments other than… him…

Kureha growled and punched a building's wall.

|Immortal Object|

She already knew the wall was immortal. She didn't need a notification for every time she hit something in Gun Gale, damnit.

"I think this is a simple case about love!" Mina said.

"Agreed! She has that sense of denial about her that makes it obvious she loves someone," Toga agreed with Mina. "If I knew any better, that lucky boy she likes is obviously someone to keep close!"

"Is no one gonna point out how they're in what looks like a game?" Hatsume asked.

"Exactly!" Awase said in agreement. "These are the questions that need to be asked!"

"That's because it is a game, and it's Gun Gale Online they're playing," Lego answered. "It's basically a video game that's worth well over a couple trillion dollars, if not possibly the worth of selling a whole continent, or perhaps the United States. I don't know. These Virtual Reality Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing games, or VRMMORPGs are just… insane. Especially with how much programming was needed for all of the senses, designs, and everything else."

"What?" Everyone questioned.

"Damn, they're all rich then!" Power Loader said.

"The games are being sold for 60 US dollars a copy, or however much for a newly released game in Japan," Lego said.

"WHAT?!" Everyone questioned in shock.

"I'm buying this game if it ever comes out," Shigaraki and Spinner said at the same time, before the two looked at each other.

"Oh? Seems like someone is having a bad day," someone said to Kureha, before the shunned player turned to glare at the man who made the cocky remark.

"What do you want, Itsuki?" Kureha asked the man, who sighed.

"Are you still holding onto the grudge over what I said?" Itsuki questioned. "And your loss?"

"Shut up," Kureha said as she began walking away.

"Ah, so you are," Itsuki said as he ran to catch up to her and began to walk by her side. "Well, then I believe I should apologize…"

Kureha looked at Itsuki, a man who was expert at pulling the strings and emotions of people, as well as being incredibly insulting and somehow speaking facts. However this time, she saw him actually having a sadden expression on his face.

"Are… are you lying to me, Itsuki?" Kureha asked, not believing Itsuki, who was quite a two faced man.

"I'm not this time. I'm actually being sincere this time," Itsuki replied. He sighed. "When you left, he was quite distraught. He hadn't been as cheerful as normal either. I think he blames himself for what happened, though ultimately it is my fault I suppose." Itsuki crossed his arms. "I heard him talking with Rei once too after you'd left… he told her, 'I don't understand why this is so important… aren't games just meant to be for fun?' He still is helpful with everyone, and people do still go questing with him, but he doesn't go out to the extent as normal. Again, I accept, this is my fault." Itsuki sighed. "...I'm not sure why I'm even telling you this, since I'm the last person you want to talk to, but perhaps… your friend rubbed off on me in more ways than I could ever believe."

"H-How so?" Kureha asked Itsuki.

"We were having a conversation before bed about dreams," Itsuki began and Kureha's jaw dropped.

"YOU SLEPT WITH HIM?!" Kureha questioned.

Everyone just stared at Lego after that, with Lego simply whistling. "So, let me guess, this game also has a romance option?" Kendo decided to ask.

"It's not as bad as Persona 5 if that's what you're asking," Lego said, which made everyone question what that meant.

"What?!" Some of the newly made Persona fans questioned.

"Maybe, maybe not," Itsuki answered Kureha. "What I do know is that you've slept with him before you left. Same applies with Rei. I'm unsure about Zeliska, but I do know she harbors some feelings for him. Though ultimately, I believe you should try to be the one who confesses your feelings to him before anyone else does."

Kureha blushed before shaking her head. "J-Just shut up and continue with your conversation!"

"Right… well, the just of it is that I had a dream, where… I shot him," Itsuki said. Kureha was confused about why that was what he was ultimately trying to get at. "I never had a dream involving myself until that one, where I shot him. We deduced it to just me being paranoid and we were on different teams for a battle, but… it deeply unsettled me. In fact, he made this entire game… more fun again."

Kureha looked away. Did he even change Itsuki? Just… just what was he?

"That's all I wanted to share," Itsuki said, before he began to walk away. "Think well about how you want to proceed! Zeliska might take him away otherwise!"

Yep, that's the Itsuki she knew…

Kureha went out to the Old South, a destroyed city that dated before the SBC Glocken had players roaming the streets and before Gun Gale Online was released to the public. Kureha had ultimately decided to follow a piece of intel she had overheard some guys talking about and wandered into a building, before she found there were indeed a lot of the enemies of the game hiding out here. These weren't just the regular ones that were littered all over Gun Gale here.

There were some of the Imposter ArFA-sys here.

Lievre was here.

Kureha pulled out her rocket launcher, a Deneb Kaitos 2+, before diving out from behind cover and firing a rocket that hit one of the copied players and exploded.

Kureha pulled out her SMG, the Drague L Harmattan++, and aimed at another one of the Imposters, before she heard the click of a gun and the cold metal of one being pointed at her head. "Drop the gun," a voice said, which Kureha recognized as Lievre, and seeing as how Kureha didn't want to die and respawn back at the Glocken, complied for now.

"Lievre," Kureha stated.

"Hi Kureha, what are you even doing here?" The advanced ArFA-sys asked as she walked into Kureha's view, still keeping the gun pointed at her head, while Kureha realized it was just a pistol. But since it was with Lievre, it had a high chance of being powerful.

"Following up information, that's all," she said while Lievre narrowed her eyes at Kureha.

Lievre looked towards the entrance of the secret hideout she had picked, and waited a few moments. "..." She looked back at Kureha. "Where's your team?"

"What?" Kureha asked, confused.

"Normally you're out questing with those silly players you call your friends," Lievre said. "Especially that one idiot and his outdated Type-X ArFA-sys, Rei if I remember what you all called her."

"I'm not always questing with them!" Kureha retorted.

"Uh, yeah you are," Lievre said with a deadpan expression. "Like, 95% of the time you've gone questing, it's always with those dudes and dudettes." Lievre got closer to Kureha. "I have your Player Data, remember?" Just to reiterate her statement, one of the Imposter ArFA-sys came forward, this one looking like Kureha if she wore a more military colored outfit, while the real Kureha rolled her eyes.

"Well nice to know that," Kureha said, before picking up her gun off the ground and putting it away, and beginning to walk away.

Lievre was surprised by this sudden act. "Y-You're just leaving?"

"Well, I have the information I need, and that's how long I actually do hang out with him and Kirito's friends," Kureha answered while waving and smiling. "Bye!" And then Kureha tried to leave, before a gun was shot and a bullet hit the wall next to the door after going past her ear.

"Alright, spill it, what happened?" Lievre asked, curious as to why she suddenly wanted this information.

"Why do you want to know?" Kureha responded, not seeing a reason as to why.

"I like player drama!" Lievre said, before gesturing for Kureha to follow her, which she did reluctantly.

"Kirito?" Kamikiri said. "That sounds familiar…"

"Yeah, but I don't remember where…" Tsubara said.

"Regardless, this Lievre sounds like an interesting… person? Or is she an AI?" Hatsume seemed confused, but at the same time she didn't care.

After a hearty conversation that seemed quite one sided and that was also in a surprisingly decorated and well furnished room, Lievre was trying to keep her cool. She was failing miserably, and Kureha would be glad to put a bullet in her own head just so she could respawn all the way back at the Glocken, despite how'd it hurt. A lot.

"Okay, so basically, you're having boy issues!" Lievre announced to Kureha, which caused the veteran gun slinger to blush lightly and look away. "Just admit it! You loooooooooove him!"

"I do not," Kureha said. "And you have zero proof…"

"Want me to access your player data again? I can literally just grab your hand and do it all over again," Lievre reminded. "And I can see all sorts of things!"

Kureha did not want that to happen. "Don't."

"Admit it!" Lievre said with excitement, but before Kureha could, an imposter walked into the room. This one looked like Kirito, except with a more ominous theme to it.

"Lievre, there's a group of players outside. A large one," Kirito? said.

Lievre sighed. "Just when I was getting to the good part of this interrogation…" She stood up and stretched. "Right, I better dispose of you…" Lievre suddenly clapped, before a secret passageway opened to a teleporter. "Well, bye!" Lievre said, before the couch Kureha sat on suddenly flung Kureha onto the teleporter and she teleported away. The couch had a large spring under it, before it retracted and looked like a normal couch. "I love that trap!"

After Kureha was done teleporting, she landed on the ground somewhere with a loud thud, and rubbed the back of her head. "Ow ow ow ow ow…" Kureha muttered to herself. "Damn that Lievre…" She stood up slowly, finding some support on the wall of the room she landed in.

Room?

She looked up and saw that she landed in the apartment that her friend lived in, and was surprised and confused, but also scared. Why in the hell did Lievre have a teleporter, and why one that led to his room?!

"Stalker," Mineta and a few others called out.

"...does Lievre have a teleporter to the Protagonist's room?" Lego questioned, now actually wondering that, since Lievre was a bit of an odd character, even to him.

Suddenly because the world just seemed to love to screw with Kureha, Rei walked in with her master. In a way, you could say he was one of the most plainest looking people, being a male with short black hair and blue eyes. He wore the same battle jacket with a blue collar and black pants with metal knee pads as he did when he first joined Gun Gale Online, and when they first started playing. Rei, on the other hand, has purple eyes, white hair and a skin-tight, purple-on-white suit, and she had short and straight hair.

"Uraraka?" A few of the girls from 1A questioned, along with some of the boys from 1A.

"Now that's in my head," Lego commented. "Now I'm expecting someone out there to try and recreate Izuku as the protagonist-slash-player, and Ochaco as the ArFA-sys!"

"Why don't you do it?" Kaminari suggested. "You said it is a game."

"Go to hell," Lego simply told him.

"Kureha?!" Rei exclaimed. "What're you doing here?!"

"Lievre suddenly just teleported me here!" Kureha shouted at her. "And I'm not happy about that at all! And more importantly, why the hell does she even have a teleporter to this room in the first place?!"

"Good question, but wait, are you here too…?" Rei began, trailing off while hoping for the best.

"Kureha…" Her friend said, while looking at her. He looked away.

Kureha bit her lip. She wasn't ready for this! Not one moment. But… she was here. It was too late to do anything. "I…" Kureha looked down. "I'm sorry… okay?" Kureha began to walk towards the entrance of the apartment and left.

Rei looked saddened by this. "She's… not coming back, is she Master?" Rei asked her master, who simply knew that Kureha was going to leave.

Suddenly, he received a message, and saw a new notification, before opening the menu and going to his friends list.

|You've received a friend request from: Kureha

|Will you accept: Yes or No ? |

|You have one new message from: Kureha

He simply smiled, while putting a hand to his mouth and slowly crying.

While their ending seemed happy for now, unbeknownst to them, in the far distance in a part of Gun Gale Online that was only known to two people, a familiar two faced man smiled to himself. "Now… let's begin the experiment," Itsuki said as he bathed in the light of the setting sun.

The End

"For a one shot, that was pretty nice," Lego commented. "Hmm… maybe I could-"

Bardock suddenly teleported into the arena, while charging a Kamehameha. "Don't you fucking DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARE!" Upon yelling 'dare', he blasted Lego with the full powered attack, which hurt like a biotch to the author, and destroyed a portion of the theater. When Bardock stopped, he then shouted at Lego, "And stop coming up with new ideas until you finish a story for once!" Bardock then teleported to who knows where, while the dust settled and Lego and his seat were absolutely fine, before he clapped twice and the damage that was caused was undone.

"I know… I know…" Lego said with a deadpan expression, before muttering under his breath, "Party pooper…"

"So… is that it?" Midnight asked.

"Do they ever fight that guy who was clearly the final boss of the actual game?!" Inasa questioned.

"Where is my Super Suit?!" Endeavor asked, still wearing the wool coat from earlier, and also clearly suggesting that someone stole his Hero Outfit.

"I wouldn't doubt it if someone did something to it, but actually, it's hanging over there on top of the fridge," Lego said as he pointed at it, with Endeavor going to grab it. "As for the other two questions, yes, yes it is and they do fight that guy." Lego suddenly pulled out a gun, and said, "PERSONA!" He then shot himself, something appeared but they couldn't see what it was when he suddenly disappeared from the theater. That was clearly going to be all for the chapter today, though he seemed to be doing it urgently…

Whatever the case, he's probably fine, and there is definitely not something wrong in his base which should be 100% okay since he was a god.

Hmm, to think I would reach over 4000 words with this one random thought alone. Interesting.

This chapter was basically a more indepth thought of what Kureha from Sword Art Online: Fatal Bullet was doing in the time after the player dueled Kureha after Itsuki made one stupid as all hell remark, with no one arguing against it and just going silent afterwards, which caused me to have some beef with Itsuki, which caused me to unlock all of the other endings before I got the TRUE ending, and lead me to play repeatedly until I did get it, before starting the game over on New Game+.

Kureha, Itsuki, Zeliska, and Lievre are all characters in Fatal Bullet, which shares a bit of a storyline with the previous SAO games, not that I would actually know since I haven't played any of them.

So, I hope everyone enjoyed this chapter, and remember, if some random robotic AI or NPC in a video game asks to shake your hand while looking like a member of the game's playable cast, you tell them no and to go die in a hole!

Now please wait while I go polish my Evoker pistol.
