And I'm back with the next chapter of Meta-Verse. In this chapter, this will be the first Revengers mission there ever is when they go to San Francisco to defuse a nuclear missile that'll wipe out all of the city. Now, let the mission begin.
Disclaimer: I don't own any characters appearing in this fic.

Flandre is now driving a helicarrier into the Revengers base. Because, she thought the limo wouldn't fit all of the team.
Katy Caterpillar came to Flandre. "Nice work bringing a helicarrier in."
"Ooba. It's not much really." Flandre said.
Paiman came to them. "Seems like we're locked and loaded."
"Yep." Katy said.
Meanwhile, at the entrance, Stocking Anarchy was waiting for someone.
"Hey, bitch."
Stocking turns to see a female walking to her.
This female has long blonde hair and blue eyes. She wears a dark red short-sleeve dress and dark red high-heeled shoes. This is Panty Anarchy.
"Panty, you goddamned son of a bitch." Stocking said.
"Just give me a damned hug, will ya?" Panty hugs Stocking.
Stocking did the same.
"So, what's new?" Panty asked.
"We're going on a mission." Stocking said.
"Yeah, yeah. Are there gonna be men there?" Panty asked.
"Not really." Stocking said.
"Dammit. Oh well. I'll have them later." Panty said.
"This is your sister?" Reg came to them.
"Yes. Reg, this is Panty Anarchy. Panty, this is Reg." Stocking said.
"Nice to meet you, squirt." Panty said.
"Squirt?" Reg thought.
"It's time." Mary appears out of nowhere in front the trio.
"Whoa, a ghost?" Panty asked.
"Not really. Are you coming or not?" Mary said.

"So here's the mission briefing. We have encountered a nuclear missile in San Francisco 10 hours ago. We don't know how long before it launches, so we better head there before it's too late." Katy said.
"I got a question to ask." Says a female.
This female has orange hair and dark blue eyes. She wears a burgundy shirt with white short sleeves, red checkered skirt, black almost-to-the-knee socks and brown loafers. This is Asuna Kagurazaka.
"Yes, Miss Kagurazaka." Katy said.
"Who created the missile?" Asuna asked.
"That, we don't know. Everything about the missile is unknown, except for it's nuclear. That's about it." Katy said.
"Dammit. That mean we go there and find the real reason for it. That's a piece of cake." Panty said.
"Try not to get killed out there." Kurumi Ebisuzawa said.
"Don't worry. I kill ghosts all the time. I shouldn't need to worry about a freaking missile." Panty said.
"Where is it at?" Said a female.
This female has thigh-length blonde hair that has two large white ribbons on top and a black one on the bottom and cyan-blue eyes. She wears a black long-sleeve shirt, gray checkered skirt, white almost-to-the-knee socks and brown loafers. This is Saya Tokido.
"It is in a facility in San Francisco. The building is a seven-story building. So we need to know which floor it's in. And watch out for traps if any is set." Katy said.
"So, is this all good?" Yuzuyu Sakashita was drawing her notes. With crayons.
"Yes. That's all. Unless if any other questions arises." Katy said.
Silence
"Then we're all good." Katy said.
"Alright people." Mary clapped her hands. "Let's get this show on the road."
Kobayashi came to Mary. "Whatever you're putting us through, don't get me killed. Got it?"
"Everyone has a special ability. Who knows. You might have one yourself." Mary said.
"What do you mean? I'm a normal computer programmer. That's all. I'm not a dragon or anything." Kobayashi said.
"No. But you might be magical." Mary gets up and walks off.
Kobayashi just looks at Mary while she's walking out of the room, feeling confused. "If I do have magic, will it mean a thing?"
Everyone has gathered inside the helicarrier.
"Wow." Kanna Kamui said in amazement. Not in emotion, but her amazement shows.
"This is neat." Riko Saikawa said.
"I'm pretty much shocked myself." Marulk said.
"We have not met." Riko S. said.
"I'm Marulk."
"Riko. Riko Saikawa."
"So you have the same name as someone I know." Marulk said.
"Ran into that before." Riko S. said.
On cue with that, Riko did show up in the helicarrier, walking to the trio.
"And there she is now." Marulk said.
Riko S. looks at Riko. "Geez. You look like...um…"
"I'm a cave raider." Riko said.
"Huh." Riko S. said.
"Caves? Filled with dragons?" Kanna asked.
"Um, not really." Riko said.
"Just thought it might be filled with dragons." Kanna said.
"Anyways, Riko. How many caves did you raid? I betcha a lot." Riko S. said.
"Um, well, you see, I only gone to the Abyss. That's all." Riko scratched at the back of her head.
"The Abyss?" Kanna asked.
"It is the cave of dreams." Mary came to them.
"I wouldn't say that, since it's filled with monsters and curses." Riko said.
"Monsters? Curses?" Kanna thinks. "There are caves like those before."
"Caves with monsters are common. Especially in medieval worlds." Riko S. said.
"And modern caves, not anymore. There are just bears, bats, etc." Mary said.
"And wolves?" Lucas came down with his spider web on him to keep him from falling to the ground.
"Wolves don't live in caves." Mary said.
"I heard on the news that wolves has entered a cave and lived there." Morgana came in.
"How?" Mary asked.
"Don't know. It's suddenly horrifying." Morgana said.
"Alright. We're getting off-topic. Let's just go and fulfill this mission." Mary said.
"Roger that." Riko saluted.
Mary snickered. "I like you. You know that?" She leaves the group.
"Is everyone on board?" Morgana asked.
"I think so." Marulk said.
"Alright. Prepare for take-off." Morgana said.
The helicarrier takes off and out of the Revengers base and flew into the sky.
Inside the helicarrier, we see Sherlock Shellingford looking through her cases in her folder. From the day she lost her Toy, to the final case she ever did with Milky Holmes before being dragged out of her world and into Haruka Suzumiya's world.
"Is that you Sheryl?"
Sherlock looks to see who it was. She gasped in surprise. "Nero, Herc, Cordelia."
There are three females standing in front of the table where Sherlock's at.
The first female has reddish-brown hair and green eyes. She wears a yellow hat, yellow shirt with white long sleeves, yellow shorts, orange, white and yellow striped almost-to-the-knee slouched socks and brown shoes. This is Nero Yuzurizaki.
The second female has purple hair and red eyes. She wears a green hat, green long-sleeve dress, black stockings and black shoes. This is Hercule "Elly" Barton.
The third female has blonde hair and blue eyes. She wears a blue hat, blue long-sleeve shirt, burgundy stockings and brown boots. This is Cordelia Glauca.
"Long time no see, Sheryl." Nero said.
"So it seems Milky Holmes is back again." Sherlock said.
Hercule nodded.
"Perfect. We're finally back." Sherlock said.
"Suu." Suu came to Milky Holmes.
"What is that?" Cordelia asked.
"This is Suu. She's a slime monster girl." Sherlock said.
"How do you do?" Suu bowed.
"Hey." Nero just waved.
"Our first mission in forever." Cordelia said.
"I know. But, we should prepare ourselves. Because it might get bad." Sherlock said.
"When everything goes bad, we're always there to protect each other." Nero said.
"Thanks, Nero." Sherlock said.
"We're talking about an apocalypse of a city." A large weird-looking cat came to them.
This cat has red fur and has a white lower face and belly and he has green eyes. He wears a red, green and blue cap, a bell and a sign that says his name on it. This is Nekomaru.
"And who are you?" Suu asked.
"Nekomaru. A monster cat."
"Suu. I'm a slime monster girl."
"You're not a registered monster?" Nekomaru asked.
"Suu's world works differently then yours, Suu." Suu said.
"I see. Well then, that's all I needed to know. Tell me we ain't gonna die. Because I'm afraid of that." Nekomaru said.
"Don't worry, we'll be fine." Sherlock said.
"I sure hope so." Nekomaru then left the group.
Willa Caterpillar came to them. "It seems we almost reaching our destination."
"Alright." Sherlock turns to her team. "Let's prepare ourselves."
The Milky Holmes team nodded.
Willa sighed. "This is gonna kill my pay grade." She left.
"Suu?"
Up at the front, we see Flandre driving the helicarrier, and has someone along as well.
It is an alien creature that has a yellow fluffy head with one green antenna sticking out and black eyes. She body is green. This is CJ7.
"Give me miles." Mary said.
"We're at 15.55 miles before we get there." CJ7 said.
"We're close. Alright. We should gather everyone at the meeting place. There is that here, right?" Mary asked.
"In the middle of this vehicle, yes." Flandre said.
"Should have known. Thanks." Mary said.
"No problem." Flandre said.
Minutes later, everyone assembled in the meeting area.
"We're almost reaching our destination. Whatever you do, don't do anything that I would do." Mary said.
"Like getting high." Morgana said.
"Shut up you dick wad." Mary said.
"That guy's a bitch." Panty said.
"Totally." Stocking said.
"Nothing compared to what I do for a living. If I do have a living." Said a female.
This female has upper-back length fuchsia-purple hair with bangs hanging over her eyebrows and sea-green eyes. She wears a white long-sleeve shirt, blue checkered skirt, black thigh-high socks and brown loafers. This is Yuri Nakamura.
"Afterlife girl, aren't you?" Mary asked.
Yuri sighed. "That's me alright."
"I heard you needed a name for your battlefront." Mary said.
"Afterlife battlefront sounds fine with me. Unless if you have a suggestion." Yuri said.
"Hmm. Suicide battlefront." Mary said.
"No. That sounds like we're gonna get ourselves killed. No." Yuri shook her head.
"Hmm." Mary thinks. "I know! Gay battlefro-" Mary gets kicked in the noggin by Yuri's gun, to which that past Mary out cold.
"Only someone stupid would come up with that name." Yuri sighed.
"That was confusing." Reg thought.
"Okay, if anybody sees anyone that tries to kill us, don't hesitate to fight back." Morgana said.
"But, what if some of us doesn't?" Safety asked.
"Then you get killed." Morgana said.
Safety cringes at this. "Why did I join?"
An intercomm noise can be heard. "3.05 miles." CJ7 said.
"Gear up." Morgana said.
"It's time we brought out the big guns." Katy said.
"Ready." Yuzuyu said.
Katy smiled. "Let's prepare."
Break
San Francisco
The helicarrier landed at the top of the building, and everyone came out of the ship.
"Good timing."
Two females came to them.
The first female has stark white hair and lime green eyes. She wears a red and white long-sleeve shirt, gray checkered skirt, black almost-to-the-knee socks and gray sneakers. This is Fie Claussell.
The second female has light brown hair and blue eyes. She wears a pink hat, white and brown dress, pink long-sleeve jacket, tan colored almost-to-the-knee socks and brown boots. This is Rorona Frixell.
"Got any reports?" Katy asked.
"No. None at all. Just mystery. Mystery, mystery, mystery." Fie said.
"I see." Katy turns to Flandre. "You and Hoihoi-san watch from out here for any incoming danger. Tell us about it if you see anything."
"Ooba." Flandre said.
"Yes, ma'am." Hoihoi-san said.
"Tell me I'm not joining with Sanae here." Ika Musume said.
"Aw, Squiddy, you know you love me." Sanae Nagatsuki said.
Ika just pushed Sanae away with her tentacles. "No way."
"I can join with Squid Girl." Kiyomi Sakura said.
"Okay, you and Ika are with each other. But you need more than yourselves, honestly." Katy said.
"I might join them." Victorique de Blois said. "Not like I have anything to do."
"Perfect. Porcelain doll girl gets the job." Mary said.
"Why do you insist on calling me a porcelain doll girl?" Victorique asked.
"Because that what you look like. A porcelain doll girl." Mary said.
"I swear." Victorique said.
"I'm sticking with Suu." Papi said.
"Suu." Suu said.
"It'll just be me, Riko, Nanachi and Marulk." Reg said.
"That's fine." Mary said.
"Then I might take myself, 5344, those Milky Holmes guys, Miho, Fie, the Anarchys, Mirim and Rorona with me." Remon Yamano said.
"That's a first." Bee no. 5344 said.
"Be happy about it." Remon said.
"I don't trust that." 5344 said.
"I'm going with Katy on this." Yotsuba Koiwai said.
"I'll go. With Yuzuyu and Ann here." Ushio Okazaki said.
"Take me with you." Paiman said.
"Alright." Ushio said.
"And I'm going." Laetitia said.
"Good match." Mary said.
"And we'll go with her as well." Silvia Maruyama said.
"So will I." Mary Smith said.
"Alright. Then I go with Ika here. Along with Ponyo, Midori, Yuki, Kurumi and Hestia with." Sosuke said.
"We got our hands full now." Ika said.
"I'll say." Kiyomi said.
"Alright. I go with Morgana and Yuri. Oh, you too, CJ." Mary said.
"Boy am I needed?" CJ7 said.
"I'm going too." Harukasan gets on Reg's head. "Nom." She put her mouth on his helmet.
"I wish you didn't do that." Reg thought.
"I'll go. With Risky, Safety and Kanna with me." Renge Miyauchi said.
"Don't forget me too. Because I'm not leaving Kanna behind." Riko S. said.
"Okay." Kanna said.
"I go with the monster girls here. With Tohru, Asuna, Kanonno, Peni, Starky and Hansode with." Kobyashi said.
"Looks like I'm with the cool guys." Hansode Shiranui said.
"Seems that way." Peni Parker said.
"Okay, you guys deal with the rest of your group. We're gonna head on." Mary said.
"You go on ahead. I'll sort things out here." Haruhi Suzumiya said.
Mary nodded, then the respective teams go inside the building.
"So people call you a god?" Haruka Suzumiya asked.
"Well, I didn't believe it at first, until Konata told me. And here I am, wondering what I did to myself to humiliate myself." Haruhi said.
Haruka nodded. "I understand."
"Let's not worry about that now and figure out what we have here." Haruhi said.
Haruka nodded.
Meanwhile, Reg's team takes the seventh floor, Ika's team takes the sixth floor, Remon's team takes the fifth floor, Sosuke's team takes the fourth floor, Mary's team takes the third floor, Kobayashi's team takes the second floor and Katy's team takes the first floor. Others might join later. Who knows.
Reg's team takes an elevator, waiting for it to get to the seventh floor. Bored.
"Rap rap rap rap rap. Yow. Rap rap rap rap rap. Phew. Yup yup yup yup yup. Kabang. Yup yup yup yup yup. Kaboom." Harukasan just...rambling I guess.
"Quit it." Reg said.
"Aw, and I thought you like that." Harukasan said.
"There's no one that said I liked it." Reg said.
"Aw man." Harukasan said.
"Numbers." Kanna said.
"Yep. Numbers." Riko S. said.
"Wow." Kanna said in enthusiasm.
It dinged, then the elevator doors open. They gotten out and starts to search the area.
"Alright. We need to find the missile. It could be anywhere." Reg said.
They all nodded. They begin to search for the missile. Marulk is looking through one of the shelves to see if it's stored in there, and is waiting for launch, but none. Instead, what he came upon on one of the shelves is an insect-sized child with a black raincoat on. "Hello?"
The tiny child just moan, then disappears.
Marulk's eyes widened. "That was freaky."
He also sees another insect-sized child with a yellow raincoat on. "Beware. She can sense you."
"Who?" Marulk asked.
"Ricardo." The child then grabs a dragonfly that came in and ate it.
Marulk's eyes widened.
The child then got done eating it. "Take my warning seriously." The child then left.
"What's your name?" Marulk asked.
Silence
"That was weird." Marulk then begin to search again.
Meanwhile, with Remon's team, they got into the fifth floor and looks for the missile.
"It has to be here somewhere." Remon said.
"You meant that thing?" Panty points at (Dun dun dun) the missile that is ready to launch.
"Well, that wasn't pointless then." Rorona said.
"But somehow that was easy. I wonder." Remon isn't quite sure about this.
"There's someone inside." Miho Nishizumi said.
Sherlock goes to Miho, and saw that there was someone inside. "Oh my God. We have to get her out of there."
"Is it set to launch?" Nero asked.
Stocking goes to the controls, and saw that it's about to launch in 2 minutes. "You have about two minutes, or she's gonna go bye-bye."
"How do we stop it?" 5344 asked.
"Is there a manual in there?" Rorona asked.
"Um." She looks for one. "Oh hell yeah." She grabs out the manual. She looks at it. "All you need to do is cut the wire. It didn't say which one. So, good luck."
"Dammit. Cut the wrong wire and we're gonna die." Remon said.
"I might sense which one it is." Cordelia said.
"If you think you can do it, go for it." Remon said.
"Please be careful." 5344 said.
Cordelia goes to where the wires are, which are at the bottom of the missile, and begins to use her Toy to sense which cord it might be: Blue, yellow or red. She concentrates. Then her eyes flashed. "It's the blue one."
"Are you sure?" Mirim asked.
"I'm sure." Cordelia said.
"Okay, cut it out." Remon said.
Cordelia grabs a pair of tiny scissors, then cuts the blue cord, to which it stops the countdown.
"You did it, bitch." Stocking said.
"You should have said it in a polite way." Cordelia said.
"That's how I do it. Deal with it." Stocking said.
Panty goes to the missile and opens it up, revealing a female to be in there.
This female has lavender hair with long pigtails that reach down to her legs and purple eyes. She wears a gray long-sleeve suit, pink vest, white thigh-high leg warmers, dark blue gloves and light pink shoes. This is Sophie.
"It's a girl alright." Panty said.
Sophie opens her eyes.
"Well, she's awake." Panty said.
"Are you okay?" Miho asked.
Sophie gets up, then looks around. "Where am I?"
"Some place we need to get you out of." Stocking said.
Sophie's confused. "Get out of?"
"You were about to get taken away by a missile. Which is where you're in right now. Now hop out of there and let's get out of here." Remon said.
Sophie nodded, then gotten out. She then sees the yellow raincoat child, then walks to her.
"She senses you." The child said.
"Who?" Sophie asked.
"Ricardo." The lights flickered, then when they turn on, the child disappeared.
"Who was that?" Remon asked.
"Never met her myself." Sophie turns to the group. "Who's Ricardo?"
"I'm not sure." Remon said.
"Um, guys, you wanna hear this." Nero said.
"What is it?" 5344 asked.
"I found a note that said: 'We knew you were here.' By Grand Zeno." Nero said.
"Zeno? Who's that?" Remon asked.
"Zeno might be here in this building. Along with this Ricardo guy." Nero said.
"Huh. That's new." Remon said.
The alarm has been sounded.
"Shit." Remon said.
"We have to get out of here." Sherlock said.
"Let's go." Remon leaves with 5344.
Everyone left, except for Miho and Sophie, who were stopped when they heard a TV static noise. They turned around and saw a woman in black-and-white in a black-and-white world.
This woman seems to be wearing a short-sleeve dress and high-heeled shoes. This is Lucy Ricardo.
"And where do you think you're taking my specimen?" Lucy asked.
"Your specimen?" Miho asked.
"Yes. The girl you have right there is a specimen of mines. The aspect of the Earth will be annihilated by her. And to get her to comply, I made a missile for her to be in, so it can kill her as well." Lucy said.
"Why do that?" Sophie asked.
"Because, it's the way things work." Lucy goes to the ironing board and irons some clothes.
"Who's Zeno?" Miho asked.
"Grand Zeno? He's the Omni-King of the Multiverse. He rules all of the universes. He's here right now." Lucy said.
Miho's eyes widened. "Oh no."
Meanwhile, with Reg's team, they came across two beings, who saw their arrival.
The first being is sky blue skin, except for two sections from his ears to the middle of each eye on both sides of his head, which are purple and black eyes. He wears a magenta and yellow long-sleeve coat, yellow pants and magenta shoes. This is the Omni-King, Grand Zeno.
The second being looks just like Zeno. This is his future counterpart.
"We were expecting you." Zeno said.
"What in the world is going on, non?" Renge asked.
"You see, this universe you're in right now, doesn't need to exist." Future Zeno said.
"And why's that?" Riko asked.
"We're actually sick and tired of watching all the universes. There's too many to look at that we felt that there is too much." Zeno said.
"12 universes are too much." Future Zeno agrees.
"You can't just destroy a universe filled with innocent people." Nanachi said.
"Too bad. They have their chance. Prepare to be wiped out." Zeno said.
"I'm not allowing it!" Reg extends his arm, but Zeno grabs it easily enough. "But how?"
Zeno tsk-tsked. "You really need to learn manners. From the Omni-King. The ruler of all the multiverse."
"Dammit." Reg muttered.
Future Zeno flew to Riko, and notices her carrying Lyza's White Whistle. "Hmm. Quite interesting. That whistle said to contain power unimaginable."
Riko takes out the whistle and looks at it. "What do you mean?"
"No one knows. It's a mystery to them." Future Zeno said.
"I heard the missile got aborted." Zeno said.
"How did you know?" Reg asked.
"Where was it?" Marulk asked.
"It was in the fifth floor. And I sensed it was gonna happen." Zeno said.
"You were wanting to use it to annihilate this universe." Reg said.
"It's still too much. 12 universes is still too much. They all need to be annihilated. Only a certain number lives." Zeno said.
"I don't think so." Renge claps her hand, then transforms into a purple space-like entity, where her body looks like the galaxy, except for her eyes and mouth.
"You can't compete with my powers." Zeno said.
"Watch me, non." Renge flew to Zeno, but the Omni-King grabs her by the throat, then throws her down to the ground.
Future Zeno is about to grab the White Whistle, but Riko throws it to Marulk, to which he struggles to catch it, but caught it eventually.
"That was foolish." Future Zeno said.
"You're not getting my mother's whistle." Riko said.
"We'll see about that." Future Zeno grabs Riko in the jacket collar, then flew with her off the ground.
"Riko!" Nanachi shouted.
"Need water, need water." Harukasan found some. "Found some." She gets off Reg, then ran for it, then rolls around in it, then she multiplies.
The Zenos sees this, and are shocked. "What?"
The Harukasans topples on the Zenos, to which she made the Future Zeno let go of Riko, to which some of the Harukasans caught before see lands on the ground.
"Are you okay?" Some of the Harukasans asked.
"I'm fine. Thank you." Riko said.
"No problem." Some of the Harukasans said.
"We better get out of here." Riko said.
Meanwhile, with Ika's team, they came across a table.
"What is this?" Kiyomi asked.
"I don't know." Ika walks to it. She saw a hand button. She pushed on it. Nothing. Then…
(Play Aloy's Theme Alternative-Horizon Zero Dawn OST)
"This is Charles Ronson. I'm logging this six hours after final deployment of GAIA Prime. This morning...an access port seal malfunctioned. GALA Prime's port seals were designed to close with a seam of less than 2 millimeters. But this one closed with a 10 millimeter gap. Enough for an energy signature to bleed through. Enough for the swarm to detect this facility. Enough for GAIA to be discovered and destroyed. Enough to end the future we worked so hard to make possible. Unless the hatch servos were manually re-engaged...from the outside. I'm now switching to a recording of the event."
Silence
Then, holograms appeared, which are purple, to which there is Charles Ronson, Samina Ebadji and three others.
The first one man that wears a long-sleeve shirt, pants and shoes. This is Travis Tate.
The second one seems to be a Chinese man that wears the same thing. This is Patrick Brochard-Klein.
The third one is a female that also wears the same thing. This is Margo Shen.
"Well I'm not going out there! Not what I signed up for." Travis said.
"Either we send someone out there, or all of this was for nothing." Patrick said.
"It should be Lis's decision." Charles said.
"So when's she going to get here?" Patrick asked.
"She said five minutes. You don't think…?" Samina said.
"Oh no." Margo said.
Another hologram appears. Which this person is in a suit.
"Okay, everyone. I've repaired the seal. GAIA?" The person said.
"Seal closure at 1.4 millimeters, confirmed." GAIA said.
"Elisabet-no. We'll find a way to bring you back in-" Charles gets interrupted.
"Not going to happen. The swarm's too close. Really, it's all right. GAIA's complete. She'll take care of things from here on out. That's what she does." Elisabet said.
"Not like this. There's so much we…" Charles gets interrupted again.
"Guys-you know me. I'm no good at endings. At letting things end. So let's not." Elisabet said.
"So...happy trails, Lis, and see ya around?" Travis said.
"Yeah. Take care of each other, all right?" Elisabet said.
"Lis…" Charles trails off.
"I'm okay with this. I want to go home. Goodbye." Elisabet said, before the holograms are turned off.
"That was the last transmission of Elisabet Sobeck. She gave everything for the hope of life on this planet. And we are all in her debt." Charles said.
Silence
Ika tears up.
"Squiddy…" Kiyomi trails off.
"What the squid happened? What's going on? I don't understand." Ika tries to wipe her tears off, but they still kept coming.
"The answers you seek, they're not here."
They turned around saw a purple hologram of a woman that wears the same thing, except her shirt is more of a tribal then modern. This is Elisabet Sobeck.
"Then, who has the answers?" Sosuke asked.
"Aloy would know. She's my daughter. But I'm afraid there is no such thing as an Aloy in this reality. There is an Aloy of another reality, and she would know." Elisabet said.
"How?" Ika asked.
"Trust me, I know her well, even if I'm not there." Elisabet said.
"I owe you my gratitude." Midori Kasugano said.
"Please. I don't need any. You go, and get out of here." Elisabet said.
They nodded, then leave.
"Squid Girl." Elisabet said.
Ika stops, then turns to face Elisabet.
"Whenever you see Aloy, tell her that you saw me, and tell her I'm always watching over her." Elisabet said.
Ika nodded. "I will."
Elisabet's hologram then shuts off.
Ika looks at the table, then leaves.
Later, after some complications, they regrouped.
"And who's that?" Katy asked, pointing at Sophie.
"We're not sure." Mirim said.
"I don't remember my name. All I know that my name is Sophie. My real name, where I came from and what I am is a complete mystery to me."
"Dammit. We'll have to find someone that knows." Fie said.
"Alright. We know that Lucy's after us. She isn't a bad guy before, I wonder what gotten into her now. And now the Omni-King, Zeno. Now what?" Mary said.
"I'm sure we'll know eventually." Morgana said.
Mary nodded, unsure.
Ika turns around. "Where is this Aloy? Who is she really?"
Kryptonite by 3 Doors Down
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

Omake
AoTverse
In another reality, a portal opens, and a mysterious figure came in. He looks around the place. "Things are about to get out of hand."
And that's a wrap! I felt it is kind of rushed, to be honest, but that's okay. Why Lucy Ricardo is a villain now? You'll have to wait and see. Why Grand Zeno and Future Zeno's the villain? Well, there's a reason for that. One, it's more because, as I read the wiki info, that they view 12 universes as too much and will destroy any that is considered too much. Even though they're nice and friendly to Goku and Buu, they're still sadistic in some ways. But, they can be the good guys later on. Can't tell you how, but yeah. And about Sophie, sure she already knew everything in canon, but why did she lost her memories again? You'll have to wait and see. And if you already knew who the child in the yellow raincoat is, refrain yourself from telling anyone until she finally makes the debut. And for the omake, this does reveal that I am gonna do a collaboration with three authors: Firekong1, ZombieCatTookMyPudding and FallenwaterTheFallen. If you have not heard of them, check them out, except for Firekong1, who does not have a fanfic yet. And with that out of the way, next time, another mission arises for the Revengers as they go to a haunted school, where someone there lurks in the darkness, waiting for the right time to strike.
See you all in the next chapter of Meta-Verse.
