And I'm back with the next chapter of Meta-Verse. Looks like the last chapter did not have any glaring issues, which is good, honestly. Anyways, in this chapter, Mary is forming the Revengers team, and other shenanigans will ensue. Let's get this started, shall we?
Disclaimer: I don't own any characters appearing in this fic.
Kamubashi
(Play Wandaba Theme-Wandaba Style OST)
On the cliff side, there stands a base that looks like a heart. At the back, there are multiple launch tubes, to which one of them opened, and a ship is out of one of them. Inside the base, we see a male and a robot looking at the screen.
The male has brown hair and purple eyes. He wears pinkish-red glasses, white long-sleeve lab coat, light green shorts, light green and green striped stockings and light green sneakers. This is Dr. Susumu Tsukumo.
The robot has a straight long gray metal neck and his head is orange with two binocular-like eyes and two motorcycle-like grabbers sticking out of his head. He has an orange body and has a black wheel. This is Ichirin.
"Dr. Tsukumo, are you sure you're sending Kiku #8 alone this time?" Ichirin asked.
"Yep. Since Mix Juice is busy right now, we might as well have Kiku travel to Mars." Tsukumo said.
"Let's hope this trip ends well."
"It should. Besides, the ship she's in right now looks like a pinball, and so whenever the countdown ends, the launcher will send the pinball straight to Mars. And I even calculated it perfectly."
"Let's make sure your calculations are correct."
"I'm ready when you are, Dr. Tsukumo." A voice said.
"I'm starting the countdown now." Tsukumo said.
"Roger that."
Inside the pinball-like ship is a girl sitting on the seat, waiting for the time to be sent to Mars.
This girl has pink hair and red eyes. She wears a white and blue long-sleeve dress, orange stockings and pink rubber shoes. This is Kiku #8.
Inside the base, Tsukumo is about to push the button. "5, 4, 3, 2, 1, Wandaba is go!" He pushes the launch button.
A big metal stick smacks the pinball-like ship and is being sent to Mars. Or, will it? It reached space.
"I'm out of Earth. Reaching out of the atmosphere." Kiku then realizes that a purple portal has been opened in space. "We have some difficulties getting into Mars."
"What's wrong?" Tsukumo asked.
"Looks like some wormhole has been opened." Kiku said.
"Turn back! Now!" Tsukumo shouted.
Too late. The ship is in the wormhole, then it closes.
Back at the base
"Kiku. Kiku!" Tsukumo said.
"I'm afraid we lost contact with Kiku #8." Ichirin said.
"Where is she now?" Tsukumo wondered.

Meta-Verse Department Agency
In a base right next to the Agency, we see Mary getting inside.
"My name is Mary. An imaginary friend that has some issues here lately, and I look like someone has tookin' the cat out of the bag. Well, if it is a cat. Otherwise, it might be a dog. Woof woof. Anyways, I am going to form the elite team known as the Revengers. And it's gonna be fucking awesome. Let just hope so. Otherwise, I'll be training a team of rejects." Mary narrates.
"So, Mary." A female came to her.
This female has lilac colored hair and violet eyes. She wears a black beret, red long-sleeve shirt, white skirt, white thigh-high socks and brown loafers. This is Arisu Sakayanagi.
"Ah, Miss Sakayanagi, how is that going?" Mary asked.
"I found a few that wants to join, which is the SOS Brigade. Even though the only one unsure of in that group is Kyon." Arisu said.
"Hmm. Seems like he's the scared type."
"It's not that. He's just unsure."
"Arisu Sakayanagi. The cool type. She was a Class A student back in her own world, but now, I have her as my commander for our missions and all." Mary narrates.
"You make sure you look for others who are interested." Mary said.
"Got it." Arisu leaves the base.
"Well, well, it seems I have to work on things." Mary goes to what seems like an office.
Outside, we see Reg and Riko setting out a rubber pool in the field.
"This will do just fine." Riko said.
"Squid Girl would like this." Reg said.
Riko nodded. "I'm sure she will."
Reg nodded.
"Hello to you all down there!"
"Did you hear that?" Riko asked.
"I did." Reg looks up, and makes a frightened face.
"What is it, Reg?" Riko asked.
"Look up there." Reg points up.
Riko looks up. "What the-!"
Someone is flying down to them. And who is flying down is Kiku, who has been stripped of her clothes due to the flames almost surrounding her.
"Reg, quick!" Riko said.
Reg nodded, then grabs out the hose, fills the pool with water, then slides it to where Kiku's going to land. She then dived into the pool, to which did caused a lot of water to come out of the pool, and it splashes onto Reg and Riko. Kiku gets up.
Reg's face turns all red. "Put some clothes on, will ya?!"
Kiku smiled. "Well, that was a nice landing."
"Who are you?" Riko asked.
"I'm Kiku #8, and I'm a Test Satellite."
"A Test Satellite?" Reg and Riko asked.
Kiku nodded.
"So you're a robot yourself?" Riko asked.
"You can say that. Maybe." Kiku said.
"Oh whoa. Reg! I think we found something!" Riko said, excitedly.
"I noticed that." Reg thought.
Kiku gets out of the pool and stretches her arms.
"What are you doing?" Riko asked.
"Giving myself sunlight." Kiku said.
"Regeneration." Reg said.
Kiku nodded.
"Wherever she came from, she's not normal at all." Reg thought.
"Some clothes for you." Lucas carries the clothes box with his spider webs. (Tough job, if you ask me)
"Thank you." Kiku said.
"You welcome." Lucas then crawls away.
Kiku grabs the clothes that Lucas gave her and she puts them on.
"So, where are you from?" Riko asked.
"I am from Kamubashi. Me and Dr. Susumu Tsukumo has always been wanting to go to the moon. Multiple attempts has been made, yet failed, but we kind of gotten ourselves there before we know it. Then, Susumu suggested Mars. I was about to get there, but a wormhole has been opened." Kiku said.
"Portals." Reg said.
"I'm sorry, what?" Kiku asked.
"We have been through that event lately. The portal thing." Riko said.
"Oh. That's quite unusual." Kiku said.
"It is." Reg said.
"Huh. I'm not the only one then, huh." Kiku thinks.
"That must have been a lot to go through." Riko said.
"It kind of is." Kiku said.
"We can show you around the Agency if you want." Reg said.
"Thank you. I would appreciate that." Kiku said.
Meanwhile, Katy Caterpillar is in the base next to the Agency, with her sorting out some stuff in her own office. She heard a ring. "Come in."
A female came in.
This female has short beige-colored hair and gradient crimson eyes. She wears the same uniform as Arisu, safe for black almost-to-the-knee socks. This is Kikyo Kushida.
"Um, someone needs you at the gym, ma'am." Kikyo said.
"And who would that be?" Katy asked.
"Maho Misawa."
"Oh yes. I forgot. I kept her waiting for so long. I'll get her to start training." Katy gets out of her desk and crawls out of the office room.
Kikyo watches Katy leave, then she left herself.
Meanwhile, Willa Caterpillar is with Marulk and Peni Parker in the operating room, with Peni working on her suit, SP/DR.
"Seems like your suit is well made." Willa said.
"Thanks. My father left this behind when he died. And so I tookin' care of the thing ever since." Peni said.
"And that spider? Is he your father's spider?" Willa asked.
"Oh no. He just sort of appeared out of nowhere. I took care of him since." Peni said.
"I never trust those things. Especially Silkfangs." Marulk said.
"Silkfangs?" Peni asked.
"They're these spider-like creatures that never leaves their territory. They produce silk, but messy and sticky." Marulk said.
"Wow. Never saw one of those before." Peni said.
"Interesting. I never knew the Abyss is that dangerous." Willa said.
"It pretty much is." Marulk said.
"Hey there." Nanachi came to them.
"Oh, Nanachi, what's up?" Peni asked.
"Not much." Nanachi turns to Marulk. "I know we saw each other back in Tomorrowland, but never got to speaking to each other."
"I'm afraid not. I'm Marulk."
"Nanachi."
"If I can recall, you're a Narehate, correct?" Marulk asked.
"Yes." Nanachi said.
Marulk smiled. "You don't look that bad at all."
"No. Not really. I helped Reg and Riko through tough times, especially when Riko almost died." Nanachi said.
"Oh my gosh, what happened?" Marulk asked.
"She got attacked by an Orb Piercer, got her hand stabbed by one of it's thorns, and then she suffered the Curse of the 4th Layer." Nanachi said.
"That's gotta hurt." Willa said.
"We cured her, so she's safe." Nanachi said.
"I'll be glad you saved her. I would thank you for doing that." Marulk said.
"Well, I felt sorry for them and all, so I did my best to help." Nanachi said.
"It's a good thing you did." Marulk said.
"Oh, speaking of which, Nanachi. It seems that we have a new visitor in the Agency." Peni said.
"Who would that be?" Nanachi asked.
"Calls herself Kiku #8." Peni said.
"Huh. I see." Nanachi said.
"Are you gonna go see Kiku?" Marulk asked.
"Sounds like fun. I'll do that. Wanna come with me?" Nanachi said.
"I guess I can." Marulk walks to Nanachi.
"Take care you guys." Peni said.
"We will." Marulk and Nanachi walks out of the room.
"Just look at those two." Peni said.
"Marulk's a boy." Willa said.
"I can tell." Peni said.
"What?" Willa asked.
Meanwhile, Paiman is walking to the roof of the Agency, where he sees a female taking photos of the sky.
This female has butt-length pink hair that is tied in twin pigtails with bangs swept to the left side and gradient blue eyes. She wears glasses and wears the same uniform as Arisu and Kikyo, safe for black thigh-high socks. This is Airi Sakura.
"How is the view?" Paiman asked.
Airi turns to Paiman. "It's nice."
"It's a wonderful day today." Paiman said.
A bird-like shadow flew across the two. They looked up to see what it was.
"What was that just now?" Airi asked.
"I'm not quite sure myself." Paiman said.
Break
"Alright, it seems that you gotten yourself ready for this thing. You're reluctant enough to do just about anything you can, and so, yeah that's all I got to say. Now, I wanna test your ability." Katy said.
She is in the gym, along with a person, to which all we see of this person right now is her pink sneakers and white ankle socks.
"And what ability are you even talking about?" The person asked.
"Well, everyone has one. So, you must have one yourself."
"Like, super ability?"
Katy nodded.
"Hmm. Do you think I can do that?"
"As long as you put your mind to it. And control it. I don't wanna clean up a mess that is destructive or anything."
"Sounds like I shouldn't use it. But, I can give it a shot."
"Alright then. You can go for it."
"Mm-hmm." The person then runs across the gym, raised the right foot high, and what appears to be a blue spike formed under the person's foot. The person stomps down on the floor, which caused the spike to disappear and it created a wave of energy coming out of it, which Katy tries not to get caught by it by standing her ground very hard. Then it stopped.
Katy looks at her chart. "Huh. That's interesting. This power signature has some juice. I'm impressed."
"So you think I did well?" The person asked.
"Seems like it."
The person turns around to face Katy.
The person is a girl that has golden hair that is bound into two long queues and blue eyes. She wears a white t-shirt and black shorts. This is Maho Misawa.
Maho smiled. "Seems like I past the test."
"You did." Katy crawls close to Maho. "Some of your skill needs a little work, but it seems that you did well in some cases."
"I've been part of a basketball team, so it's all good."
Katy nodded. "I see."
The bird-like shadow flew across the two.
Katy looks up. "That was sudden."
"Geez, I wonder what that would be." Maho wonders.
"Something's off. I have to go." Katy said.
"It's not dangerous, is it?"
"Hoping not." Katy then crawls out of the gym.
"Be okay." Maho shudders. "You're a bug, but it seems I can get along with you well. So, let's hope you don't get killed, okay?"
Katy left the gym and tries to find the bird-like thing that is flying across the Agency. She runs into Gokicha. "Had you saw a bird-like thing flying by here?"
Gokicha shook her head.
"Alright." Katy said.
Gokicha walks to Katy. "There is someone getting after me."
Katy makes a shocked face. "Who?"
"A girl that is my size and has a gun and a katana. And she's in a maid's suit!" Gokicha said.
Katy thinks. "Two mysterious problems. That's all sudden. I'll check it out."
Gokicha nodded.
"Why don't you hide somewhere and leave this to me?" Katy asked.
Gokicha nodded, then she left.
"Make sure she doesn't spot you or anything." Katy said.
"I'll try." Gokicha leaves.
"Now, what's up with that shadow?" Katy starts crawling again. After two minutes past, she's already at the entrance of the base next to the Agency. She sighed. "This is ridiculous." Then a shadow looms above the little caterpillar. (No, it's not the bird-like thing) Katy looks up, and dodges what it was, and it revealed to be a giant pink shoe. The little caterpillar looks up and saw the person who tried to squish her.
This person reveals to be a young girl that has long lilac hair and red eyes. She wears a red short-sleeve dress and black pants. This is Kate Hoshimiya, aka the feared leader of Zvezda, Venera.
"Okay, what was that for?" Katy asked, glaring at Kate.
"You don't quite get it, do you, bug? Because I, Kate Hoshimiya, leader of Zvezda, will conquer this world for good. And no one needs you, so buzz off."
"Scuse me, but I am teacher of the Meta-Verse Department Agency, and I already got squashed once. By a really big schoolgirl." Katy said.
Kate looks mad. "Well, it's better for you to be squished."
Katy sighed. "This is not going well. I might need your help."
Kate laughed. "Me? Help a bug? Not a chance!"
Katy glares at Kate. "I'm serious."
Kate sighed. "Fine. What is it that you can't stop bugging me about?"
"Had you saw that bird-like thing flew by here?"
Kate thinks. "Oh, I know what it is. It was human, but it was bird-like."
"Where is it now?"
"Um...it flew here, then flew in a circle, then flew the other way. That's right."
Katy sighed. "How am I gonna catch this thing?"
Kate smiled. "You got me interested. Alright. I'll help you. But this doesn't mean we're friends and all. Got it?"
"Yeah, yeah." Katy said.
Meanwhile, Reg and Riko are walking alone in the park area close to the base next to the Agency. (Don't worry, it'll be named at the end of the chapter)
"Do you think Kiku would be fine?" Reg asked.
"I'm sure she will. We showed her pretty much some part of the Agency." Riko said.
Reg thinks. "Guess you're right."
Riko stops.
Reg then stops and turns around. "What is it?"
Riko looks around and saw right next to her is the insect-sized girl in the maid outfit. "I thought someone else was here."
Reg came to Riko, then looks at the small girl. "Who's that?"
The small girl looks up at the cave raiders. "I'm ID-3 Hoihoi-san. I'm happy to make your acquaintance."
"I'm Riko. And this is Reg."
"I see. You're robot yourself?" Hoihoi-san asked.
"Maybe. Although I don't consider myself as one." Reg said.
"I see. I'm here because I have been given an assignment." Hoihoi-san said.
"What assignment?" Riko asked.
(Play These Everyday Feels-Made in Abyss OST)
"You see, I was to deliver the message to the AWA reality, about their Grima being revived by someone known as the Sorcerer Supreme. Unfortunately, we found out that the message was not delivered to AWA. Instead, it reached a different reality. Something I did not brace myself for. Even though they don't get the message, they should prepare for when their timeline's Grima come back. But, our timeline's Grima keeps getting revived." Hoihoi-san explains.
"By who?" Reg asked.
"Gargantos. Terror of the multiverse. Our timeline's Grima is stuck inside the dark realm, and so Gargantos comes up with many spells to open the dark realm, for his return." Hoihoi-san said.
"This is all confusing." Reg thought.
"So, you needed our help?" Riko asked.
"I would appreciate that. Thank you." Hoihoi-san said.
Reg nodded.
"Also, do you know where that cockroach is?" Hoihoi-san asked.
"We have a cockroach here?" Reg makes a shocked face.
"No. Why?" Riko asked.
"Because I am a pest extermination robot, and I'm assigned to eliminate pests." Hoihoi-san said.
"Alright. No, I'm sorry." Riko said.
"It's fine. I might travel alongside you." Hoihoi-san said.
"Okay then." Riko said.
"Hmm. I might have to think about all this." Reg said.
Hoihoi-san nodded.
Hours later, while Riko is at the base with Hoihoi-san, Reg goes into the bathhouse and thinks this all over.
"With what Hoihoi-san said, it seems we're not the only ones around here. Other realities? What lies in those realities? Something I couldn't understand. Or...is it something we shouldn't know at all? This is all confusing. Peni did said something about the multiverse. But I'm lost as to how that all works. Dammit. I couldn't think straight." Reg thought.
Bubbles forms in the bath. Reg looks at the bath, then something came out, to which he took steps backwards. It is a weird-looking thing, until it transformed into a girl.
This girl is blue and has green hair that has three yellow antennas on the tips and green eyes. She does have a curvier bust size and is naked. This is Suu, a slime monster girl.
"Alright, what is that thing?!" Reg looks frightened.
"Suu." Only thing she said.
"What is she doing? Observing me?" Reg walks slowly to Suu, to which he takes precautions just in case something happens.
Suu then gets out of the tub and walks towards Reg.
"Oh God. She's up!" Reg walks backwards slowly, being freaked out.
"Suu."
Reg tries to walk away, but gets caught by a mop and slips, causing him to fall on his back. Suu apparently falls on him, with her breasts on him.
Reg's face turns red. "That's too close."
"Suu." She only looked at Reg with curiosity.
"Um, can you get off me, please? You're making me uncomfortable." Reg said.
"Suu." She gets off Reg.
Reg gets up and panted. "What are you?"
"Suu? Suu's a slime monster girl."
"That answers my question." Reg thought. "I'm Reg. And I'm an Obot."
"Obot?" Suu asked.
"Yes." Reg said.
"Huh." Suu examines Reg, whom she finds odd to have nipples and a belly button. She was about to look inside his pants.
"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!" Reg covers his pants.
"Suu?"
"That was close. If she saw, then it would make awkward situations after another." Reg sighed in relief.
"Suu's sorry."
"It's okay. Now you know." Reg gets up.
"Suu." Her busts are now gone.
"She can do that?" Reg finds it odd.
Suu gets up and walks to the clothes rack, then puts on her yellow long-sleeve raincoat.
"I was wondering who that belonged to." Reg said.
"Huh? This is Suu's raincoat."
"Should have thought so." Reg thought.
Suu also grabs her yellow rain boots and puts them on. "Shall we go? Or are you busy?"
"Huh?" Reg looks at Suu. "Um, yeah, I think we can go on."
Suu smiled. "Okay."
Meanwhile, back with Riko and Hoihoi-san, they're inside an apartment complex inside the base, to which Hoihoi-san is looking around to see if there's any pests to exterminate.
"You take your job seriously, do you?" Riko asked.
"I have to. It is what I was designed to do." Hoihoi-san said.
"She won't have a hard job looking for those, since she's their size alright." Riko then walks into the kitchen.
Hoihoi-san kept searching, until she ran into Gokicha, who is hiding under the couch. "Target found."
"Eeeep!" Gokicha turns to see Hoihoi-san, to which she sweats so much that she is freaked out herself. "We can talk about this!"
"You can't just say we can. You're a pest. And you must be exterminated. For good." Hoihoi-san said.
"Truce?" Gokicha said.
Hoihoi-san grabs out her katana.
"Yikes!" Gokicha runs out of the couch.
Hoihoi-san chases after Gokicha, to which a chase ensues inside the living room.
"How about we talk this out?!" Gokicha asked.
"No. That's not permitted." Hoihoi-san said.
"Is there something we can do to be friendly?!" Gokicha asked.
"Does not compute." Hoihoi-san said.
"Who makes these things?!" Gokicha thought.
"You want me to make you something?" Riko comes back in the living room. "What in the world?"
Gokicha sees Riko and runs up to her. "Help me, please! This thing's after me!"
"Um...what is going on?" Riko asked.
"She's a pest. And she must be exterminated." Hoihoi-san said.
"Are you the new version of the Terminator?" Gokicha asked.
"No, not really." Hoihoi-san said.
"Okay, guys, calm down. What exactly are you, anyways?" Riko asked.
"I'm a cockroach girl. Gokicha."
"That's who you were trying to find. Are you sure you wanna exterminate her?" Riko asked.
"You're saying you have pity on her?" Hoihoi-san points her katana at Gokicha, to which frightens the little cockroach girl.
"Come on, maybe get to know her a little." Riko said.
Hoihoi-san sighed. "That's not gonna turn out well."
Gokicha sighed in relief. "I'm saved."
Kate and Katy came into the room.
"You better watch out!" Katy shouted.
"Why?" Riko asked.
The bird-like shadow is about to crash the window.
"Oh my God!" Riko ran back into the kitchen.
The window has been destroyed by the bird-like human and it fell to the ground.
The bird-like human reveals to be a girl that has medium-length, messy, light blue hair and orange eyes. She wears a black sleeveless shirt and gray cargo shorts. She has talons instead of legs and has blue wings instead of arms, but her wings does have thumbs. This is Papi, a Harpy monster girl.
"That almost killed us!" Gokicha looks frightened.
"Were you worried about me just now?" Hoihoi-san asked.
"Yes!" Gokicha said.
"That tried to kill her? And she's worried about me? That does not make sense at all?" Hoihoi-san thought.
Papi gets up.
"What in the world is going on?" Katy asked.
Papi looks at Kate and Katy. "Sorry about that. Seems like I took the wrong entrance."
"You got people worrying that you might be an intruder or something." Kate said.
"Me? Why's that?" Papi asked.
"Because you're flying around the whole place that this is causing us a real headache." Katy said. "And besides, you don't know if you're dangerous or not."
"Me? I wouldn't cause any commotions like that." Papi said.
"Uh-huh." Katy said.
"I was actually looking for Suu." Papi said.
"Who's Suu?" Katy asked.
"She's a monster girl, and she is a slime girl." Papi explains.
"And does that make you?" Katy asked.
"I'm a Harpy. My name is Papi."
"Great. What we needed." Katy said.
Reg and Suu came in. "What was all that?"
"Papi." Suu said.
"Suu!" Papi ran to Suu and hugs her. "I was getting worried!"
"Papi." Suu smiled and hugs her.
Riko came into the living room. "Tell me that's over."
"Maybe." Reg said.
Meanwhile, Willa is with Mary and Arisu.
"So, who do we got?" Mary asked.
"We have the SOS Brigade." Arisu said.
"You told me that one." Mary said.
"The Anglerfish team is willing to join. Yume and Shihoru seems that they would join. Berui and Zerui. That's all I have." Arisu said.
"Ha. Nothing much." Willa said.
"Well, it's a good start. I'm sure we can grow our superhero group here." Mary said.
"Yes. And what are we calling this base?" Arisu looks at me, annoyed. (Um, that did not happened)
"We're calling this the Revengers base." Mary said.
"Funny." Morgana can be heard.
"Nice name." Arisu said.
"Yeah, it is." Mary said.
"So, who else are we gonna recruit?" Willa asked.
"Say, we should send some people to go dragon hunting." Mary said.
"What?" Arisu asked.
"Find some dragons that can help us out." Mary said.
"Like who?" Arisu asked.
"I know of some." Mary said. "The Revengers got formed. Somewhat." She grabs the phone and calls. "Give me Miss Kobayashi, will ya?"
Ending theme
Well, I took a walk around the world to ease my troubled mind
I left my body lying somewhere in the sands of time
But I watched the world float to the dark side of the moon
I feel there's nothing I can do, yeah
I watched the world float to the dark side of the moon
After all I know, it had to be something to do with you
I really don't mind what happens now and then
As long as you'll be my friend at the end
If I go crazy, then will you still call me Superman?
If I'm alive and well, will you be there and holding my hand?
I'll keep you by my side with my superhuman might
Kryptonite
Whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa
These are the characters that appeared in this chapter:
Dr. Susumu Tsukumo, Ichirin and Kiku #8 from Wandaba Style
Arisu Sakayanagi, Kikyo Kushida and Airi Sakura from Classroom of the Elite
Maho Misawa from Ro-Kyu-Bu
Kate Hoshimiya from World Conquest Zvezda Plot
ID-3 Hoihoi-san from Ichigeki Sacchu! Hoihoi-san
Suu and Papi from Monster Musume
Next time: A Worker and a Dragon
And that's a wrap! Yes, AWA got mentioned again. But, this will be the final time that it will be mentioned in this series as a whole, since that collaboration thing I was planning with the author of AWA isn't wanting to collaborate with me. Sucks, honestly. The ending theme used in this chapter is Kryptonite by 3 Doors Down. Expect this theme for half of the arc. And Deep in Abyss from Made in Abyss is the opening theme. Expect it for the entire arc. Next time, the cast of Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid finally makes a debut, when Mary goes to recruit dragons from Kobayashi, while Reg meets someone in that said world.
See you all in the next chapter of Meta-Verse.
