And I'm back with the next chapter of Meta-Verse. Now, before we start, I've been given two glaring problems so far. One is Tanya von Degurechaff. Well, I intended to make her that way, as shown in the first chapter, and I did said why she's like that will be revealed in time. Two is Compa. That was a stupid mistake I made. I thought CPUs are beings, not alter-egos. So, I do apologize for that. But, one question should be here if anyone wants to answer it. Is Compa just a normal human being, or is she something else? Anyways, if you notice a glaring issue in this chapter, just tell me. Because I'm trying my best to get to know these characters and all, since I'm new to them. Anyways, on to the plot. In this chapter, Nanachi will finally appear, and she (If anyone wants to know why I said she, is because I kind of can tell what gender Nanachi is. If anyone doesn't think Nanachi's female, go ahead and think that, but I think she is) is in a romantic-drama world of Rumbling Hearts, with others appearing as well. And the futuristic assassin is sent there to eliminate them. Now, let's get this started, shall we?
Disclaimer: I don't own any characters appearing in this fic.
Tokyo
In a world where everything is practically normal, where romance can be seen at some corners of the world, we see a bench. And on that bench, is a sweet and beautiful girl.
This girl has reddish-brown hair and green eyes. She wears a white t-shirt, purple skirt, white almost-to-the-knee socks and brown loafers. This is Haruka Suzumiya.
She is sitting there on the bench, looking up at the sky. "I wonder what Mitsuki is doing." She sighed. She heard a ruffle in the bushes. She looks at the bush, then gets off of the bench and walks to the bush. "Hello?"
Bunny ears popped out of the bush.
Haruka is shocked. "A bunny rabbit?"
The bunny ears then goes down, then more ruffles in the bush. Then it stopped when it got close to Haruka.
"I won't hurt you." Haruka said.
"You sure? Are you even afraid of me?" A voice said.
"I don't know. What are you?"
"I am what you call a Hollow."
"What's a Hollow?"
"It's best if I did not describe it to you."
"You can tell me. You don't need to be shy."
Silence. Then, the rabbit came out, which is humanoid.
This humanoid rabbit has medium tan fur, except for her belly and the inside of her ears, which are light tan colored. She has yellow eyes and straight cream-white hair that is in a short bobbed style and the sides of the bangs are going down to the shoulders. She also has a long sturdy tail. She wears a large, oddly-shaped gray-green headpiece and pants. This is Nanachi.
"So that's what a Hollow looks like?" Haruka asked.
"Yes. Kind of. I'm actually a Narehate, humanoid rabbit." Nanachi said.
"So, there are different kinds of Hollows?"
"Narehates and Hollows themselves. While Narehates are rabbit-like, Hollows looked deformed. Hollows are ones that lost their humanity."
"That is sad. So you lost yours?"
"Maybe. Maybe not. I still have a human mind. Which is good. But for the rest of me, don't know."
"I'm sorry."
"Not your fault. I'm Nanachi, by the way."
"Haruka. Haruka Suzumiya."
"I'm shocked you're not afraid of me."
"You don't look that scary."
"Back in my world, humans do fear Hollows."
"You look like a bunny-rabbit." Haruka pets Nanachi.
"Um, get your hands off me, please?" Nanachi said.
"You don't like being touched?"
Nanachi shook her head.
"I see."
"Where am I, anyways?"
"You're in Tokyo."
"Tokyo." Nanachi thinks. "That can't be right. I was going down to the 6th Layer of the Abyss with Reg and Riko, until...something sucked me in."
"What?"
"I'm not sure. But it took me here."
"It also did the same to me."
The duo turned around and saw a girl behind them.
This girl has brown hair and blue eyes. She wears a gray long-sleeve shirt, gray skirt, black almost-to-the-knee socks and brown loafers. This is Moe Katsuragi.
"Oh. Wow. This is not good." Nanachi sighed.
"And who might you be?" Haruka asked.
"Oh, I'm Moe. Moe Katsuragi."
"Haruka. Haruka Suzumiya."
"And what is that thing right next to you?" Moe asked.
"I'm a fluffy stuffed animal." Nanachi said.
"Is that true?" Moe asked.
"This guy is fluffy alright." Haruka said.
"I see." Moe said. "I've known of an angel and a shinigami before."
"What in the world is a shinigami?" Nanachi asked.
"A shinigami is someone who wants to take your soul away." Moe said.
"That's bad." Haruka said.
"Hmm. Interesting. Never heard of those before." Nanachi said.
"Did this shinigami tried to take your soul away?" Haruka asked.
"Attempted many times. But, she can be a caring person deep inside...when she wants to." Moe said.
"I see." Haruka said.
"Look who's talking now." Nanachi said.
"Look who's talking? Is there such thing as that?!" A young girl came to them.
This girl has the appearance of a child that has dark yellow hair and purple eyes. She wears a white hat with angel wings, white and blue long-sleeve shirt, white socks and white boots. This is Princess Valkyrie.
"And you are?" Nanachi asked.
"I am Valkyrie. Princess of the Planet Valhalla."
"Someone from outer space?" Moe asked.
"Yep. That's right." Valkyrie said.
"Makes me question." Nanachi said.
"Oh, new people." A female came running to them.
This female has brown hair and red eyes. She wears a light gray long-sleeve shirt, blue skirt, white almost-to-the-knee socks and brown loafers. This is Ann Akagi.
"How many of you guys are there?" Nanachi asked.
"Not quite sure myself." Ann said.
"This is nice. Meeting new faces. Never been through that before." Valkyrie said.
"Yes. It is nice to meet you all. I'm Ann Akagi, and I'm a big fan of Kamidaioh."
"Kamidaioh?" Everyone except Ann asked.
"She's pretty much the Action Heroine of Kamiari City. Tell me you know her." Ann said.
"No clue." Everyone except Ann said.
Ann hunged her head in disbelief. "Wow."
"I'm from the Abyss, so I don't know what you're talking about." Nanachi said.
"The Abyss?" Everyone except Nanachi asked.
"The Abyss is a big gaping hole that is about 25,000 meters down, from what people can tell. There may be more meters down, who knows. But ascending up from the Abyss is a suicide. The Curse of the Abyss is in effect, causing the person to either lose sanity, or suffer a horrible death." Nanachi explains.
"Yikes. Risky almost wouldn't mind that." Moe said.
"Shinigami, I'm assuming." Nanachi said.
Moe nodded.
"I see." Nanachi said.
"Sorry I overheard your conversation." A female came to them.
This female has pink hair and blue eyes. She wears a yellow hat, pink long-sleeve dress, a yellow bandage on her left knee and brown boots. This is Sherlock Shellingford.
"And you are?" Nanachi asked.
"Sherlock Shellingford."
"Are you perhaps related to Sherlock Holmes, by any chance?" Haruka asked.
"Yep." Sherlock said.
"Are you the daughter of Sherlock Holmes?" Ann asked.
"Um, not really." Sherlock said.
"Is that so?" A creature flew to them.
This creature is light green while the bottom of her body is green. Her head is shaped like an onion and has two antennas sticking out of her head and blue eyes. She has translucent wings. This is Celebi.
"Would you look at that? Another unnormal thing." Moe said.
"I'm Celebi. The time-traveling Pokemon."
"You can travel through time? That's awesome!" Ann said, excitedly.
"Indeed, I can."
"You got Ann here excited." Nanachi said.
Celebi nodded.
"Hello?"
Everyone turned to see who it was, but, to their confusion, no one's there.
"Who was that just now?" Ann asked.
Moe looks down. "She's down there."
They all looked down and saw a girl the size of a thumb.
This girl has green hair and blue eyes. She wears a white short-sleeve dress that says "I Love Seiji" and flip-flops. This is Midori Kasugano.
"She's very tiny." Celebi said.
"What in the world happened to her?" Ann asked.
"Well, you see, I was a normal girl, before becoming someone's hand. The hand of my true love. Until, this happened. I wonder if his hand is back to normal." Midori said.
"If it's not, then it would be something off of Star Wars." Ann said.
"What happened in Star Wars?" Nanachi asked.
"The main character's hand got cut off by a light saber, which is a sword in which the blade is made out of this light energy." Ann said.
"Huh. Interesting. That sounds like torture to me." Nanachi said.
"Speaking of torture, where's my Squiddy?!" A female came to them, looking anxious.
This female has brown hair and brown eyes. She wears a pink sleeveless shirt, blue checkered skirt, white ankle socks and red sneakers. This is Sanae Nagatsuki, aka Squid Girl's enemy. (They don't get along)
"Who's Squiddy?" Nanachi asked.
"Squid Girl. The girl with tentacles for hair." Sanae said.
"Another unnormal thing." Moe said.
"I don't know what to do without my Squiddy." Sanae gets more anxious.
"I'm sure we'll look for her. You can count on me." Sherlock said.
"Thanks. I appreciate that." Sanae said.
"Piko."
Midori turns around and sees a puppy dog in front of the tiny girl.
This puppy dog has white puffy fur and black eyes. This is Potato.
Midori gets frightened. "That's one big dog."
"It's a cute puppy. Come here boy." Sherlock goes to Potato and hugs him.
"Piko." Potato said.
"I wonder if he has an owner." Nanachi said.
"That would be me." A female came to them.
This female has short blue hair and green eyes. She wears a white short-sleeve shirt, black sleeveless dress, black almost-to-the-knee socks and brown loafers. This is Kano Kirishima.
"Piko." Potato said.
"Potato. Don't go off on me like that." Kano said.
Sherlock gave Potato to Kano and the latter hugged him.
"Piko." Potato said.
"He's a cute dog." Sherlock said.
"Thanks. Potato can be a handful, but he's adorable." Kano pets Potato.
"Piko." Potato said.
"Nyanpasu." A young girl came to them.
This girl has violet hair that is tied in two pigtails with yellow ribbons and reddish-brown eyes. She wears a white shirt with red short sleeves, blue shorts, white almost-to-the-knee socks and orange shoes. This is Renge Miyauchi.
"Nyanpasu?" Everyone except Renge asked.
"Nyanpasu." Renge said.
"What does that even mean?" Nanachi asked.
"It's my way of saying 'good morning'." Renge said.
"Oh, I see. Nyanpasu to you too." Nanachi said.
"Moe. You got another unnormal thing here." Celebi said.
"Like what?" Moe came to what Celebi is looking at, which is some sort of toy-sized spacecraft.
A blue eye is looking through the window of the spacecraft.
"What is that thing?" Moe asked.
"Who knows." Celebi said.
Moe picks the spacecraft up and examines it. "Who are you?"
"Echo." The thing inside the spacecraft said.
Moe is shocked. "Wow."
"That was not expected." Celebi said.
Moe shook her head.
"Is there anybody else who wanna join in?" Nanachi asked.
Silence
"Nope. We should introduce ourselves. I'm Nanachi. I'm what you call a Hollow, or a Narehate."
"A Hollow?" Valkyrie asked.
"They're humans that lost their humanity, looking like creepy-looking blobs. Me, I'm a Narehate, a bunny-like Hollow." Nanachi said.
"I see." Valkyrie said.
"I'm Haruka Suzumiya. I'm just your average normal girl."
"Moe Katsuragi. Same thing, but met up with an angel and a shinigami."
"Shinigami?" Sanae asked.
"That's right." Moe said.
Sanae thinks. "Aren't those death gods?"
"Something like that. They can take your soul away when you're depressed." Moe said.
"Should have known." Sanae said.
"Valkyrie. Princess of the Planet Valhalla."
"Ann Akagi. I'm a big fan of Kamidaioh, Action Heroine of Kamiari City. I'm also a Action Heroine myself, Medica Red, leader of the Hina Nectars."
"Nice." Nanachi said.
"Sherlock Shellingford. Leader of the Milky Holmes team. We use abilities called Toys to fight off against crimes in my world."
"Toys can be abilities?" Sanae asked.
"Not actual toys. Like, powerful Toys. Mine is Telekinesis. Ever since my Toy has been stolen by something unknown, I was powerless. So as my team, since their Toys are stolen as well. But we got them back and we were officially Milky Holmes once again, even though we were in the first place when we lost them." Sherlock explains.
"Huh." Sanae said.
"Celebi. The time-traveling Pokemon. Some people referred to me as 'The Voice of the Forest'. Which is true, since I've been known to be in forested areas."
"I can see that." Nanachi said.
"Midori Kasugano. I was a normal girl, until I became my true love's hand, to which my true love is Seiji, until this happened. I don't know what happened, but this happened."
"I see. I'm Sanae Nagatsuki. I adore Squid Girl so much!"
"Yep. Exaggeration." Nanachi said.
"Hey! Don't say that!" Sanae gets angry.
"I'm Kano Kirishima. And this is my dog, Potato."
"Piko." Potato said.
"I had a yellow bandanna on my arm, until it's gone." Kano said.
"Huh." Nanachi said.
"Renge Miyauchi. Normal."
"Echo. Robotic alien." Echo opens the spacecraft and flew out, revealing to be a owl/cat-like robot that has blue eyes.
"Wow." Moe said.
"Do you come in piece?" Ann asked.
"I do. Yes." Echo answered.
"Alright." Ann said.
"So, what now?" Nanachi asked.
Echo's eyes shined.
"What's wrong?" Moe asked.
"Enemy approaching." Echo said.
"Oh, that's not good." Midori said.
A blast came to the bench and it explodes.
"What in the-" Nanachi looks to see the destroyed bench, then turns around and saw a man.
This man has black hair and wears a blue long-sleeve shirt, blue pants and black shoes.
"Who is that?!" Kano asked, looking frightened.
"Piko." Potato said.
"David Nix wants a talk with you." The man said.
"Who's David Nix?" Nanachi asked.
"Don't question. Surrender yourselves, or die. Your choice." The man said.
"We're not giving up that easily." Ann gets in front of the heroes. "Besides, I'm an Action Heroine, and I'm not giving up to any villain."
The man laughed, but he doesn't hesitate to turn his hand into a photon gun and shoots at the heroes.
"WHOA!" Ann dodges.
The heroes dodged as well, and the blast hits a bush.
"What is that thing?!" Moe asked.
"It's a robotic assassin." Echo said.
"We're in trouble. We gotta get out of here. Like, right now." Nanachi gets up and runs for it.
They all nodded, got up, then runs for it.
The robotic assassin grabs his phone and calls. "Send in more troops. We're not letting them get away that easily." He hangs up, then looks at the place that they were in.
Break
The team are running in the forest, trying to get away from the robotic assassin.
"How did he got here?" Haruka asked.
"I have no idea. But he's not gonna stop until he gets us all." Nanachi said.
"Well there's a problem." Sherlock said.
"Speaking of that, look!" Ann said.
They looked behind them, and saw more robotic assassins running towards them.
"Oh shit." Nanachi said.
"We need a distraction plan." Celebi said.
"I know." Sanae grabs out her camera, then points it at the robotic assassins, to which she has two modes on it: Picture Mode and Stun Mode, to which she used the latter, to which when she shoots it, two stun rays shot two assassins.
"That was cool." Ann said.
"Thanks." Sanae said.
"We're not out of this yet." Echo said.
"I knew that." Nanachi said.
One robotic assassin turns his hand into a photon gun and fires at the team.
"How many of them are there?" Kano asked.
"Piko." Potato said.
Sherlock used Telekinesis on a bench, to which it moved, and then been thrown to the assassins. "Piece of cake."
"Kill the damned bastards! NOW!" One of the robotic assassins shouted.
One of the robotic assassins opens his mouth and fires off a beam out of it, which nearly hits some of the team.
"That's gotta hurt!" Moe gets up.
"Those things are something else." Haruka said.
"They're from the future." Echo said.
"You got to be kidding." Kano said.
"Piko." Potato said.
Echo shook his head.
"Alright. What now?" Celebi asked.
Nanachi thinks. "I have an idea. Potato, might need you."
"Piko." Potato runs up to Nanachi.
"Please take good care of Potato." Kano said.
"Don't worry, I'm not letting your dog die right off." Nanachi turns to Potato. "Let's go."
"Piko." Potato said.
The duo then goes to the robotic assassins.
One of the robotic assassins goes to the duo. "So, you finally decided to surrender, huh?"
"Well, not really." Nanachi said.
"What?" The robotic assassin asked, angrily.
"You see, we have a surprise for you." Nanachi jumps up and kicks the assassin in the face, knocking him to the ground.
Multiple robotic assassins turns their hands into photon guns and fires at the duo.
"Piko!" Potato runs up to one of them, then shoots out fluff balls out of his hands, to which it formed on one of them and tangled him up.
Nanachi manages to cut the assassin's hand off, then she uses the photon gun inside the hand and fires it at the assassins. "I'm so cool."
Potato runs up to Nanachi. "Piko."
"Nice work, boy." Nanachi pets Potato.
"Piko." Potato is happy.
"Let's get out of here, as I know there might be reinforcements." Nanachi said.
"Piko." Potato said.
Hours later, they later got to a house in the forest, to which they decided to stay there for the night, trying not to get the robotic assassins' attention.
"We'll get out there tomorrow and see what we can do to get back to our respective worlds." Nanachi said.
They all nodded.
"I'm just wondering how Reg and Riko are holding up." Nanachi thought.
At night, everyone is asleep. Haruka is sleeping. Until
Dream
Haruka wakes up to see that she is in room where it is empty and quiet. She then sees three big openings in the front wall. And on one of them, there is a young girl sitting there, watching what is outside. Haruka goes to the girl, and saw that it was snowing out there. She then looks at the girl. "Who are you?"
The girl looks at Haruka.
The girl has short messy-cream like hair and yellow eyes. She wears a light green short-sleeve dress, light brown long-sleeve jacket and is barefoot. This is Nanachi when she was human.
"This is me when I was human, long time ago. Don't know how long now." Nanachi said.
"Where are we?" Haruka asked.
"This is the north region of Sereny."
"Sereny?"
"I lost my parents, and was orphaned, before I was taken to the Abyss by the White Whistle Delver, Bondrewd the Novel. I was glad to have that opportunity. But, when I found out, it was terrible."
"What did Bondrewd do?"
"He experimented on children, experimenting them on this thing called the Blessing. They are turned into Hollows, one by one."
"How terrible."
"He did it to me, and he did it to Mitty as well. Mitty's my friend, until I lost her. Well, not actually. She is a Hollow, lost all her humanity, and it was painful for her. When Reg, a robot boy, came, I thought this might end Mitty once and for all, since I don't want her to suffer anymore."
"You killed her?"
"She might still be alive. I know she might."
"I see."
"It seems that you have a secret of your own that we don't know of."
"Like what?"
"You're in love with someone. Takayuki."
Haruka is shocked. "Y-y…" She looks down at the floor. "Yes."
"You want to know the truth, do you?"
"Is it bad?"
"It's worse. It's much worse. It's about your future."
"How can you tell on all of this?"
"While I'm dream visiting you, it seems I can read your thoughts from past to future."
"That's scary."
Nanachi smiled. "Not really."
"So, my future?"
Nanachi frowned. "Yes. That. You see, you didn't realized about Takayuki until he finally started the relationship with you. But there's more. There's one day, while you're waiting at the train station, it seems you got yourself killed in an accident. You bled, but you're still alive. But, you were in a coma for three years, losing Takayuki and the time you should have with him altogether."
Haruka puts both of her hands on her mouth, frightened at what Nanachi told her. "That can't be…"
"It's true. And Mitsuki? She fell in love with Takayuki and...their relationship gone somewhere."
"Why? Why?" Haruka tears up.
"Haruka I'm sorry, but this is all true." Nanachi said.
Haruka tries not to tear up some more, but couldn't. "I don't get it."
"Of course you don't. Everything has a price. And I don't know how long this might be. And you lost Takayuki for good. Well, in the end, you let him go anyway."
"Why did I do that?"
"Don't know. But you ended things with him."
Haruka looks down at the floor, feeling saddened. "Is that so?"
"I'm afraid so."
Haruka then looks at Nanachi. "Thank you. For telling me all this."
Nanachi smiled. "No problem. Thought I might tell you your future, although you did ended up being a children's book writer in the end."
"That was always my dream."
"At least you have that ending."
Haruka nodded.
"Just remember what you need to do for yourself."
Tokyo
Haruka wakes up, then gets out of bed, thinking about what happened in the dream. "Is it all true?"
The next morning, everyone is up.
"Good morning." Ann said.
"Nyanpasu." Renge said.
"Morning." Everyone except Ann and Renge said.
Haruka walks to Nanachi, who is sitting at the window in the back of the house. "You can visit someone's dreams, can you?"
Nanachi sighed. "I did not know I had that. Until getting through that portal, I felt myself changed. It's odd, but I don't know what it is, or how. But, it happened."
Haruka felt sorry for Nanachi. "Seems like you got yourself screwed up."
Nanachi smiled. "You really are worried, aren't you?"
"It's normal for me to worry." Haruka said.
"I understand that. Trust me, I know how that feels." Nanachi said.
Haruka nodded.
"So, are we getting out?" Renge asked.
"Not until Echo gets back." Celebi said.
"Where is that little robot alien now?" Moe asked.
"Surveying the area, seeing if the coast is clear." Celebi said.
"I see." Moe said.
"Well, might as well wait. I can do that." Sherlock grabs out her magnifying glass and looks at it.
"She is related." Ann thought, looking at Sherlock.
Midori walks towards the group. "Morning."
"Oh, morning Midori." Ann said.
"Where's Echo?" Midori asked.
"Surveying the area." Celebi said.
"Oh. Alright." Midori said.
"Where do you think they came from?" Haruka asked.
"I'm not quite sure. If Echo said that they're from the future, then they're from the future. But what future, you might ask. That, I'm not quite sure myself." Celebi said.
"Hmm. Is that so?" Nanachi asked.
"Yes." Celebi said.
They heard a knock on the window, and they saw Echo. Haruka gets the door, to which Echo flew in the house.
"So?" Kano asked.
"The coast is clear." Echo said.
"Meaning we can go now." Moe said.
"Yes." Echo said.
"Well, well. It's time we get going." Nanachi said.
They all nodded.
Moments later, they are now walking again, seeing if there is a way to get back to their respective worlds, except for Haruka, who lives in this world.
"So, we find portals, get in them, and we'll be back to our worlds." Celebi said.
"If there is a screw-up?" Echo asked.
"Then we're screwed." Celebi said.
Nanachi snickered. "Funny answer."
"Shut up." Celebi said.
"Hey, what's this?" Midori comes across a circle-thing her size that has a T on it.
Ann grabs the T circle-thing off the ground, and examines it. "This is new."
"What is it?" Moe asked.
"I'm not quite sure myself." Ann pushes the thing, and it sent them somewhere else.
Futuristic World
"Whoa." Haruka said.
"We're not in Tokyo anymore." Nanachi said.
"That's creepy." Midori said.
"You said it." Kano said.
Ann pushes the thing.
Tokyo
And they're back in Tokyo.
"You think it's a teleportation device?" Sanae asked.
"Maybe." Ann pushes the thing.
Futuristic World
And they're back here.
"This might be what that assassin is talking about." Valkyrie said.
"But what is this place?" Ann asked.
Haruka sees a sign. "Welcome to Tomorrowland."
"Tomorrowland?" Ann asked.
"Well that's new." Nanachi said.
Ships came flying down to the group.
"Oh, we're in for it now." Midori fears.
"Are those the assassins?" Ann asked.
"Maybe." Celebi said.
And they're right. Robotic assassins came out of the ship, walking towards them.
"David Nix wants to see you." One of them said.
"Take us to him." Nanachi said.
"But Nanachi-" Haruka said.
"We need to know what he's up to." Nanachi said.
Haruka looks at Nanachi for a minute, then nodded.
Later, they're taken to a place that is a skyscraper and on top of it is a sphere. Inside the sphere, they gotten to what seems to be a meeting place.
"Leave us." A voice said.
The assassins leave.
"How good of you to come by." A shadow came to them, then when in the light, reveals to be a man.
This man has brown hair and wears a blue long-sleeve shirt, blue pants and black shoes. This is David Nix.
"What are you up to?" Nanachi asked.
"You see, Tomorrowland here, is an important part of the world. And will be. Extinction is about to come. To all your universes." David explains.
"What?" Haruka asked.
"It's true. Your universes are in danger of total destruction. You should join me in Tomorrowland, and together, we'll make it a better future." David said.
"Your robots tried to kill us, so why are we trusting you?" Ann asked.
"Because, there is no other way." David said.
"I'll protect my City even if it's about to die." Ann said.
"You're being foolish. You can't save your universe. You just can't." David said.
"There is a way." Ann said.
"You ain't listening. Tomorrowland is the only place there will be left." David said.
"You're just messing with us." Sherlock said.
"Goddammit. You ain't listening. Alright. Fine, I'll stop you then. By force." David turns his hands into photon guns.
"Double guns?" Kano asked.
"Well that's a first." Nanachi said.
"If Tomorrowland isn't important to you, and you think your universe is important, then you should be annihilated." David shoots his photon guns at the team, to which they dodged.
"Do something!" Haruka said.
"Let's try this." Nanachi grabs out the photon gun from earlier and shoots it at David, to which he dodged.
"I must be an Action Heroine for real. But how?" Ann thinks, then closes her eyes. "I must be an Action Heroine. For real this time." A beam of red light glows on Ann.
"What's happening?" Moe sees this.
"Ann?" Midori asked.
Ann transforms, giving her a red short-sleeve shirt, white gloves, white skirt and white boots. "The blood-red miracle fruit! I'm the healthiest! Medica Red!"
"You fools think you can stop me." David shoots more.
Medica Red ran to David, then initiates a punch on him, sending him to the wall. "I did it."
"You're not lying after all." Nanachi said.
"I only did this on performances. But not actually transforming. I guess I have good luck." Red said.
"That's good." Nanachi said.
David gets up, then his face opens up, revealing a robotic face inside.
"Now that's creepy!" Moe is getting freaked out.
"Everyone thinks Tomorrowland is a nuisance. I'll show them that Tomorrowland is the future of everything. The whole universe." David said.
"I don't think that's true. All worlds are the future." Red said.
"No they're not. They're weak-minded. Every last one of them!" David said.
"You might see that wrong." Katy Caterpillar appeared, who is right next to Midori, to which the small girl is shocked.
"You also came as well. That's good." David said.
"Only to shut you down." Katy said.
"What?" David asked angrily.
Reg, Riko, Marulk, Harukasan, Mary, Morgana, Stocking Anarchy and Peni Parker came to them.
"You fools." David said.
Reg readies his arm. "Nothing's gonna destroy our world. We'll make sure of that."
"Well, acting brave now, are you?" David shoots more.
Reg shoots out a small blast, to which it hits David. Robotic assassins came in and attacks.
"Let's kick some ass." Mary said.
"Oh hell yeah." Stocking takes off her stocking, and turns it into a katana, then fights the robotic assassins.
Marulk shoots out the powerful blast from his staff, to which it shot some of the assassins.
"Raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh!" David screams angrily.
Nanachi points the photon gun at David. "It's over."
"No it's not. There will be a time when things can be understood." David gets in a portal, then disappears.
"Dammit. He got away." Nanachi said.
Riko came to Nanachi and hugged her.
"Riko!" Nanachi is flustered.
"We were worried." Riko said.
"Yeah, I knew that. I was worried as well." Nanachi said.
"It seems that we found Nanachi." Reg said.
"You're her friend I'm assuming." Echo said.
"That's right." Reg said.
"I see." Echo said.
Paiman came to them, with him giving Stocking a coin.
"Ha. Never had these in a while." Stocking said.
"I don't know if they're much use, but there you go." Paiman said.
"Do I want it to be in much use?" Stocking asked.
"Maybe." Paiman said.
"Oh well." Stocking looks at the coin.
"So, where to now?" Nanachi asked.
"There is a place. The Meta-Verse Department Agency. An agency where we protect worlds from different threats." Katy said.
"I would like to join!" Red said, excitedly.
"There you go." Katy said.
"And that's the start of it. Everyone's back together now, except for Meinya. And Marulk joins in with us. I wonder how he would take to having a Hollow with us." Reg narrates.

Irene Engel is staring at the wall, thinking. We get closer to her, and then we see that half of her face has been cut off, looking like a bloody mess. She gets angry at the wall. "They'll pay for what they've done to my face."
Next time: Forming the Revengers
And that's a wrap! Now I kind of don't know the setting in Rumbling Hearts, since I can't find it anywhere, so I just say it's probably set in Tokyo, even though that might not be true, so yeah. And for Midori Kasugano, in canon, she was someone's hand. But, I kind of made her a person the size of a thumb since making her someone's hand is not my forte. Because I'm not gonna make that happen in my series, so yeah. And you'll see who has made Engel this way later on in this arc. Next time, we're now in a refresher chapter, yep, the portal thing is done for now, or maybe, as Mary is now recruiting some people to form the Revengers, and some other shenanigans will happen as well. If you wanna know about the Revengers, it is actually based off of the team name from Thor: Ragnarok. Neat, huh?
See you all in the next chapter of Meta-Verse.
