And I'm back with the next chapter of Meta-Verse. In this chapter, my favorite time has returned: Randomness! And you know what that means? It means, it's time to go crazy! Yahoo! Enjoy this collection of random moments and I guarantee you a good laugh. Hopefully. Now let's start this crazy endeavor, shall we?

Someplace Unknown
We see red curtains
"Hello, and welcome to another episode of…"
The curtains opened up, revealing Raggedy Ann and a sign behind the rag doll.
"Randomness. I am your host, Raggedy Ann. It has been a while since we did our last randomness chapter, and now, we're about to throw you some more random moments. That's right, folks. Randomness is back."
"Annie."
"Not now, Kasha."
Kasha Maverick is behind the camera. "You know the big bad wolf is right next door, hearing this."
"Is she?" Ann asked.
Kasha nodded.
"Oh crud. I'm gonna get it again. But, let me just say this. I would love for you all to read this wonderful chapter here and...that's all I have to say." Ann said.
"RAGGEDY ANN!" Ryoko Okami yells from another room.
"Yep. The big bad wolf is deciding to get up. See ya." Ann then tries to sneak out of the room.
"Why are you tiptoeing?" Kasha asked.
"Because if I do this, she'll never catch me." Ann said.
"I doubt it." Kasha said.
"Like you would know." Ann then gets out of the room while tiptoeing.
Kasha sighed. "Not my fault if you get caught."
Meanwhile, Ann is good at tiptoeing...until…
"You son of a bitch." Ryoko is behind Ann.
"Aw, geez." Ann said.
Outside of a house, we hear Ann screamed.
Tokyo
Our chapter begins here, when Reg walks into a car repair shop. "Hey."
Dominic Toretto is working on his car. "Hey there. You saw?"
"Yeah. What's it about?" Reg asked.
"You see, I wanna do a race with you." Dom said.
"A race?" Reg thought.
"I wanna test you out. See if you're a capable driver or not."
"Um, well...I guess I can."
"Great. See you at the track." Dom gets in the car, then drives off.
"A race, huh?" Reg is confused.
"You're going to race against Dom." Katy Caterpillar crawls onto the repair table.
"I don't know if I have the guts to do this." Reg said.
"You'll be fine. All you have to do, is look straight ahead." Katy said.
"Is that it?"
Katy nodded.
"Guess I can do that."
"Alright. But we need a car for you first. And I know just the one."
Reg and Katy goes to Catbug, as the latter is working on a red Chrysler car.
"Catbug." Katy said.
Catbug turns around to see the duo coming to them. "My gosh. How are you guys?"
"Katy told me that you have a car I might drive." Reg said.
"This here Chrysler is what you need. Good engine power and you're good to go." Catbug said.
"Thank you." Reg said.
"No problemo." Catbug said.
"Is it okay to drive it?" Reg asked.
"I already got done with a few repairs. It would be fine to drive it." Catbug said.
"Thanks." Reg said.
"Uh-huh. See you in the race tracks." Catbug said.
Reg gets into the Chrysler, then tries to figure out how a car works, since back in his world, cars aren't a thing. "Like this?" He grabs a car key, inserts it, revs up the engine, then steps on the brakes. "I think I got it. Let's just hope." He grabs the wheel, then drove off.
"I think it's time to announce the thing. Kiyui is expecting me there." Catbug leaves the room.
Katy is confused. "Riko's orphan mate?"
Reg drives up to the starting line in the Tokyo road, and he is parked alongside Dom.
"Nice car." Dom said.
"Catbug made this." Reg said.
"I see." Dom then turns to the road. "Let's see who's better at racing."
At the announcer's desk, we see a young boy waiting for Catbug.
This young boy has short blond hair with a single curl on his forehead and blue often half-closed eyes. He wears a white t-shirt, brown baggy pants and light blue shoes. This is Kiyui, one of Riko's orphan mates.
"Where are you?" Kiyui looks at a watch that Catbug gave him when he first arrived out of Orth.
"Sorry about that." Catbug came to the announcer's desk.
"You're late." Kiyui said.
"I told you I wasn't gonna be late, but, I need to fix up a car for someone."
"For who?"
"For Reg."
"Reg? He's driving?"
"You know him?"
"I do know him. We first met back at the Belchero Orphanage."
"Is that so?"
Kiyui nodded.
"Oh well. Nice to see that your friend is now here."
"Hopefully he's okay. Because I don't trust this."
"It'll be fine. As long as he knows what he's doing, he might come out first place."
Kiyui nodded. "Let's hope you're right."
Catbug grabs the microphone. "Alright racers. Welcome to the 60th Tokyo Race. I am your host, Catbug, and I hope you guys are having a good night out there, as we prepare for this race that's gonna leave everyone awestruck. One of these contestants is the legend of racers. The legend of street racers, Dominic Toretto!"
Everyone cheered.
"I'm cool." Dom said.
"And with Dom is the robot of some odd centuries. But this robot is tough in his own terms. Even with that blaster on him, it's Reggedy Rego!"
"Reggedy Rego? Who would name me that?" Reg felt concerned on that name.
"He likes you." Dom said.
"I think that name he gave me is stupid." Reg said.
Dom chuckled. "I've been called worse."
"Do your best out there, Reg." Kiyui said.
Reg recognized that voice. "Kiyui?"

In the apartment part of the Revengers Base, Riko is watching the race on TV, and noticed that Kiyui's voice has been heard. "Kiyui?"
"Who's that?" ID-3 Hoihoi-san stopped mopping the floor, turning to Riko.
"He's my orphan mate. I thought Nat and Shiggy were watching him. What is he doing here?" Riko gets worried.
"I'm sure he has the same reason as you." Hoihoi-san said.
That's when Riko's mind flashed. "The portal…"
Tokyo
"Get ready." Catbug said.
Reg and Dom rev up their engines.
"Get set."
Still revving.
"And a go!"
I Love It by Icona Pop
The two then started driving. The race has begun.
I got this feeling on the summer day when you were gone
I crashed my car into the bridge, I watched, I let it burn
I threw your shit into a bag and pushed it down the stairs
I crashed my car into the bridge
I don't care, I love it
I don't care

I don't care
"They're now on the Tokyo Bridge, and Dom is making the lead. What a top score for him." Catbug announced.
"Remember Katy's words. Just look straight ahead." Reg thought. He then pushed the brakes, making his car speed up.
"Wow, is he speeding up? That's incredible, man!" Catbug announced.
You're on a different road, I'm in the Milky Way
You want me down on Earth, but I am up in space
You're so damn hard to please, we gotta kill the switch
You're from the 70s, but I'm a 90s bitch
I love it
I love it

"They're reaching the interstate as Reg is making progress on his racing skills. Whew, this boy is on fire!" Catbug announced.
"He's good. I'll give him that." Dom thought.
"I think I'm doing good now. Thanks Katy. I appreciate it." Reg thought.
Reg is in front of Dom, while reaching out of the interstate and onto the hills.
You're on a different road, I'm in the Milky Way

They gotten through the hills just fine, now onto the finish line.
"Who's gonna win?!" Catbug announced.
Reg speeds up, while Dom tries to speed up, and…
"And Reg reached the finish line!" Catbug said.
Meta-Verse Department Agency
"Yes!" Riko raised her fists up high.
"I see he won. What a coincidence. I thought Toretto would win for sure." Hoihoi-san said. "That robot boy has some potential."
Tokyo
Reg has gotten out of the Chrysler.
"Nice going out there." Kiyui came to him.
"It is you!" Reg said.
"We meet again. You remember telling me to not look into the mirror when my birthday arrived?"
Reg nodded.
"I didn't. But I suffered it. But I survived it."
Reg's eyes widened, then hugs Kiyui. "It's that intense, is it?"
Kiyui smiled. "Reg, I'm okay." He hugs Reg. "You don't need to be sad."
"I'm glad." Reg said.
Dom came to them. "Friends I'm assuming."
Reg and Kiyui unhugs each other.
"We are, yes." Kiyui said.
"I see. I don't have friends. I have family." Dom said.
Kiyui nodded. "I'll remember that when I get back to Orth."
Dom nodded. "Nice job, kid."
"Thank you." Reg said.
"It was a good race." Dom then left.
"It was." Reg turns to Kiyui. "Don't tell me a portal got you too."
"Portal? Is that what those purple circles are called?" Kiyui asked.
Reg facefaulted. "Damn it. I should have known. Now he's with us."
Catbug came to them. "Nice job. Love your racing style."
"Thanks." Reg turns to Catbug.
"Well, I have nothing to do. I'll go head to my car repair shop and work on more cars. I'm a car repairman now. Ha ha ha. Yeah. See ya." Catbug left the duo.
"Shall we go on as well?" Kiyui asked.
"Yeah. That'll be an idea." Reg said.

Later, in the cafeteria, we see Willa Caterpillar and Bee no. 5344 watching last night's race on a tablet their size.
"He is quite unbelievable." Willa said.
"He sure is." 5344 said.
"So, how did you and Katy met?"
"Huh? Well, she first came to me when I was gathering pollen one day."
"Uh-huh."
"She asked me this weird question. Is this my true self, or am I gonna be something else? I never think in my entire life, until I figured out what it means to think."
"Uh-huh."
"I always work. Always. My payload was too heavy, and so Katy decided to help me get the payload back to the hive, even though the queen would be mad at this."
"Uh-huh."
"And then, the queen decided to make Katy a worker for the hive. I was surprised. But she is mistreated by the queen, and so I helped her escaped the hive. That was it. I saw her as a butterfly after all that. That was days after though. I'm shocked she's a caterpillar again."
"She told me she got reincarnated. By choice. She wished to reincarnate before she passed on. She came back, as I was shocked."
"Did you met her children?"
"Oh yes, I did. A few days ago. I should have known she has children though, given the fact that she was a butterfly once before."
5344 nodded.
Remon Yamano and Marulk came to them.
"Watching the race?" Remon asked.
"Yes." Willa said.
"I see. Reg did a good job getting first place." Remon said.
"I was shocked he can do it." Marulk said.
"Well, at least he gotten the proper job for it, and so he did it by choice, I guess." Willa said.
"Speaking of, had you saw him?" 5344 asked.
"He's with Riko's orphan mate, Kiyui." Marulk answered.
Willa and 5344 looked at each other for a moment, then to Remon and Marulk. "Riko's orphan mate?"
Remon and Marulk nodded.
"She told us she has orphan mates. But I didn't know one is actually here already." Willa said.
"I'm shocked as you are." 5344 said.
"I might go with Nanachi to Motosu." Marulk said.
"Thinking of hiking there?" Remon said.
Marulk nodded.
"If you get the chance, send me a pic of Mount Fuji. I heard you can get a better view from Motosu." Remon said.
"Alright. I'm trying to figure out how to use a smartphone." Marulk said.
"Why's that?" Remon asked.
"Um…" Marulk said.
3 days ago
Marulk is starting to use a smartphone, but, complications. "How do you use these things?" He pressed on the ringtone app, and he saw multiple ringtones. "Um, what are these?" He accidentally clicked on one, and it was the He-Man theme song. It played real loud. "How do I turn the volume down?!" He tried to find volume, but accidentally clicked on another ringtone, which is an opera singing voice, which is also very loud. Too loud that the windows shattered.
"The fuck was that?!" Gintoki Sakata can be heard.
Present Day
"Oh yeah. I remembered that incident." Katy crawls to them. "Gintoki was irritating the crap out of me on that. Ticks me off."
"Wow. I never knew he was that pissed." Remon said.
"I don't wanna get on his bad side." Marulk said.
Katy nodded.
"Well, I guess I should head on." Marulk said.
"Find an expert that'll teach you how to use a smartphone. Because seriously, I don't wanna get into another argument." Katy said.
Marulk nodded, then left.
"I thought he would still be here, but he left before I came." A weird-looking creature came to them.
This weird looking creature is white and has black eyes and a golden horn-like nose reminiscent of a carrot. This is Plue, Lucy Heartfilia's pet.
"If you're here, that means Lucy is here." Katy said.
"Yep." Plue said.
"And I'm here as well." Happy came to them.
"Happy. I was meaning to ask you. How is it with Carla and Wendy?" Katy asked.
"Well…" Happy trails off.
Inside Wendy Marvell's quarters, we see Carla and Wendy talk.
"I was worried sick about you. I didn't know where you have been and all. I was so freaking worried. I didn't want to lose you, okay? I was scared." Carla said.
"Carla, I'm sorry." Wendy said.
Carla sighed. "You're sticking with me for now on. Understood?"
"Had I ever ran away from you?"
"Maybe."
Wendy hunged her head down. "That's what I'm afraid of."
Back at the cafeteria
Katy nodded. "Alright. That's gonna take a while for things to get resolved."
"Wanna get some food while we're here?" Happy asked.
Plue nodded. The two then walks away from the four.
"Aren't they cute?" Remon asked.
"They sure are. Although I question Happy a bit." Katy said.
Lucy is at a table right next to the window, looking out at the sky.
New York
At a park that overlooks the Statue of Liberty, we see Laala Manaka, Sophy Hojo, Mirei Minami, Maya the Bee, Ayu Tsukimiya, Saga Bergman, Sugar, Joy, Shinobu Maehara, Chizuru Tachibana, Yakumo Tsukamoto, Kannabi-no-Mikoto, Kiku #8, Peni Parker and Chiho Sasaki are enjoying the view.
"Isn't this nice?" Laala asked.
"It sure is." Sophy said.
"Hey you guys."
Five females came to them.
The first female has brown hair that is worn loose with segments pulled up into star-shaped buns and purple eyes. She wears a white sleeveless shirt, black shorts, gray almost-to-the-knee socks and red boots. This is Kasumi Toyama.
The second female has straight, waist-length dark brown hair and green eyes. She wears a white sleeveless shirt, black shorts, gray thigh-high socks and blue boots. This is Tae Hanazono.
The third female has black hair and red eyes. She wears a white t-shirt, black shorts, gray thigh-high socks and pink boots. This is Rimi Ushigome.
The fourth female has long, curly brown hair worn in a high ponytail and blue eyes. She wears a white sleeveless shirt, black shorts, gray thigh-high socks and brown boots. This is Saaya Yamabuki.
The fifth female has long, slightly curled blonde hair worn in two pigtails held with ribbons and light brown eyes. She wears a white t-shirt, black shorts, gray almost-to-the-knee socks and purple boots. This is Arisa Ichigaya.
Together, they're the band named Poppin'Party.
"You guys are Poppin'Party! I liked your songs!" Laala said.
"Thanks." Kasumi said.
"Is this another band?" Kanna asked.
"You must be new to music, huh?" Kasumi asked.
"Modern music, yes." Kanna said.
"I'm sure you'll get the hang of it in no time." Kasumi said.
"Thanks." Kanna said.
"So, what are you guys doing here?" Maya asked.
"Oh. Did not saw you there. Um, we were wanting to perform here." Kasumi said.
"Sounds neat. Can we watch?" Laala said.
"Certainly." Kasumi said.
"Um, guys. We have a problem." Rimi said.
"Like what?" Tae asked.
All of them turned and saw that the Statue of Liberty is actually moving, wrecking havoc in New York City. It smacked a skyscraper building down with it's torch.
"Uh oh." Maya said.
"Oh no. That doesn't look good." Shinobu said.
"Who's doing this?" Laala asked.
Down on the ground, we see a small fly rolling camera for a robot.
This small fly is pink and has four brown legs and two translucent wings. She has big white eyes with tiny black pupils and an orange proboscis. This is Philomena Fly.
The robot is gray and has light yellow eyes and light yellow mouth. He has a single antenna on top of his head. This is Bender "Bending" Rodriguez.
"I'm in downtown New York City right now, where it is under attacked by a giant Statue of Liberty, literally behind me. Am I gonna be crushed? Hell no. Because I am invincible." Bender said.
"Are you really?" Philomena asked in a British accent.
"Yes I am invincible." Bender said.
They heard an evil laugh.
"Shit. Well, we're boned." Bender said.
"Face the wrath of the Statue of Liberty." Inside the crown of the Statue of Liberty, we see Tsukuru Kagaku laughing her head off.
"I'm going in full speed." Kaolla Su takes on the controls.
"The city will be conquered." Tsukuru laughed, but heard a crashing noise. "What was that?"
Outside
"I tore off half of the statue from Ghostbusters 2." Bender said.
Philomena facefaulted. "This is not a good day."
The half of the statue fell off, then slams to the ground, and the head came loose, spinning, then stopped.
Shinpachi Shimura knelt down and slams on the ground. "Damn you! Damn you! Damn you all to hell!"
Bender saw this, then ran for it.
Philomena turns and saw Bender storming off. "Of course. When am I gonna get a story?" She flew off.
Break
Tokisadame
In a restaurant in Tokisadame, we see a young girl working there, giving people their orders.
This young girl is a child that has black hair and silver eyes. She wears a white t-shirt that seems handmade, pink apron, gray skirt and brown sandals. This is Rin Suzune.
"After reports of the Statue of Liberty, rampaging the city, we see the two girls getting arrested by police authorities." Said a woman.
This woman has brown hair and wears a brown jacket, black pants and black boots. This is April O'Neil.
"This is April O'Neil of Channel 6 News, signing off."
"What did Tsukuru go and do this time?" Katy goes back to eating ramen.
"Well, I don't know the girl that much." Rin looks at the little caterpillar eating the ramen. "You like it?"
"What did you put in this?" Katy asked.
"Chocolate sauce."
"What?"
"Chocolate sauce."
Katy thinks, then shrugged. "Much like Ika's squid ink, but different taste. Oh well." She goes back to eating.
Reg came in.
"How may I help you?" Rin asked.
"Um, do you have some chowder soup can I have here?" Reg asked.
"Certainly." Rin then goes into the kitchen to make it.
"How's it going?" Mio Naganohara came to Reg and Katy.
"Good." Reg said.
"I'm glad our city is safe. Everyone is gone under the influence of the Entity, who is actually MissingNo, to which I heard he is one of Hexadecimal's henchmen." Mio said.
"Huh." Reg nodded. "Never met Hexadecimal."
"You don't want to." Mio said.
"I'll keep that in mind." Reg said.
"Well, I'll see ya." Mio left the restaurant.
"Hmm. Hexadecimal, huh?" Reg said.
"Seems like it." Katy said.
"See yer with a tiny little fello, partner."
Reg turns to see Lirio standing at the entrance. "Lirio."
"I knew we see each other again, partner." Lirio said.
"Lirio?" Katy asked.
"I want you to meet a friend of ours, Lirio. This is the first person we've met since we gotten out of the Abyss." Reg said.
"I see. Katy Caterpillar."
"Nice to meet ya, little fello." Lirio walks to Katy, then had her pointer finger for Katy to shake hands with.
"What are you doing here?" Reg asked.
"Well, partner, I was gonna ask ya. Do ya remember the poster of Wilson Fisk?" Lirio asked.
"You meaning Kingpin?" Katy asked.
"Yes. That guy." Lirio said.
"He's a notorious criminal. He's after you?" Katy asked.
"No, no. I have a bounty on him. Because he has stolen something of my friend's." Lirio said.
"Like what?" Reg asked.
"The key to unlock the Gigabanks in Planet Graceland, to which that planet is blown up. But, Kingpin wants a time machine made so he can get to that planet before it goes kablooey." Lirio said.
"Dang it." Katy said.
"I'm here for my order." A cat person came to them.
This cat person has blue and white fur and has red eyes. He wears a red sleeveless sweater. This is Rover.
"She's kind of busy at the moment with another order." Katy said.
"That's fine. I'll wait. Besides, I might as well get to know you three." Rover said.
"And you are?" Reg asked.
"My name's Rover, and I'm a citizen of Animal Town. Um, well, keep shifting, but still yet. It's still filled with animals still yet." Rover said.
"Had you saw that attack on Channel 6 News?" Asked a female.
This female has pink hair adorned with three black ribbons that tie it into two pigtails and has two pink cross-shaped pupils. She wears a long sleeve light pink jacket, dark blue biker shorts, black and white almost-to-the-knee socks and white sneakers. This is Hibari.
"Yes. And it was quite shocking." Rover said.
"I asked Rita Mordio if she even go there, but she couldn't, since she's with Indiana Jones right now." Katy said.
"Going to find the Lost Ark again?" Rover asked.
"I doubt it." Katy said.
"What's the Lost Ark?" Hibari asked.
"You don't wanna know." Katy said.
"I wonder how Nanachi and Marulk are doing." Reg wondered.
Motosu
In the forest of Motosu, Nanachi and Marulk are running from...something.
"Come on! We have to escape this thing!" Marulk said, scared.
"I'm trying, okay?!" Nanachi grabs out her smartphone and searches for something.
They heard a noise. And it is the noise of a bear.
"Oh God. Just hurry!" Marulk said.
"Hang on!" Nanachi still searches.
The two of them stopped.
"Pretend you're a tree!" Nanachi said.
They held up their hands, pretending to be a tree. And a grizzly bear past them. (What do ya know? It worked)
"How did you do that?" Marulk asked.
"Honestly, I did not found anything." Nanachi said.
"You got to be kidding me." Marulk's expression changed from relieved to worried.
Nanachi shook her head. They heard the grizzly bear. They held their hands up high, and the grizzly bear came back, but it didn't noticed them and it lied down, sleeping.
"We're not gonna get out of this, are we?" Marulk asked.
"Nope." Nanachi said.
Marulk steps back a little, then runs for it.
"Marulk! Bad idea! Goddammit." Nanachi whispered.
The grizzly bear got up and roared.
"Aw shit." Nanachi said.
Far from the forest, Nanachi can be heard screaming.
"Okay. Let me tell you what the hell just happened before this shit happened." Nanachi narrates.
30 minutes before, we see Marulk and Nanachi with Little Bee.
"Now, be careful out there. I heard a lot of stuff is there." Bee said.
"Like what?" Nanachi asked.
"Bears." Bee said.
Marulk got frightened by that. "B-b-bears?"
"Lions and tigers and bears. Oh my." Nanachi said.
"I don't like bears. Bears are scary." Marulk said.
"When is the last time you've seen a bear?" Bee asked.
"Well…" Marulk trails off.
Missouri
A few days ago, in Springfield, in a Bass Pro Shop, Marulk was looking around the place. He stopped and saw a fake bear standing on it's two back legs. He just ran for it.
Mosotu
Back in the present
"That's not a real bear. That's just a statue." Bee said.
"I thought it was real!" Marulk starts panicking.
"Calm down, Marulk. Geez. You're worrying yourself here." Nanachi said.
"Well, consider my warning. I got to head back. See you." Bee then flew off.
"Shall we go on?" Nanachi asked.
"Bears." Marulk said, frightened.
Later, they tookin' a walk in the woods, with Marulk frightened still.
"Can you stop being frightened here?" Nanachi asked.
"It's a bear. I'm afraid of bears." Marulk said.
"Come on, Marulk. Do you even believe a thing that little stinger has to say? Or, baby stinger? I don't know." Nanachi said.
"But what if she's saying is actually true?" Marulk asked.
"Don't worry, there are no bears." Nanachi said.
They heard a grizzly bear.
"Fuck." Nanachi said.
They saw the bear sleeping.
"Don't move. It won't see us if we don't move. Or hear us." Nanachi nodded. "I think hearing us would be the right word. Because if it's sleeping, it wouldn't see us."
Marulk took some steps back, but then ran for it.
"Marulk! Bad idea! Goddammit." Nanachi whispered.
The grizzly bear gets up and roared.
"Aw shit." Nanachi said.
The grizzly bear came charging at Nanachi.
Far from the forest, Nanachi can be heard screaming.
A jellyfish then came above the forest.
This jellyfish is light pink and has dark pink spots and black eyes. This is Clara.
"Hey everybody. Clara here." She grabs out her white stick. "Rule number one: Never run away from a bear. Otherwise, it'll get pissed off. Rule number two: Staying still can be a good thing. Just stand still until the bear goes away. Or, you can play dead. You can do that too. Don't be a dumbass and do the right thing. Take Clara's suggestion."
At the riverside, we see Little Bee with two females setting up a tent.
The first female has upper-back length pink hair that is kept in twin ponytails on the back of her neck which is held by white ruffled scrunchies and light blue eyes. She wears a tan-colored long sleeve shirt, gray checkered skirt, black stockings and brown loafers. This is Nadeshiko Kagamihara.
The second female has thigh-length dark blue hair that is tied in a high bun with bangs hanging over her eyebrows, two hair strands framing her face on both sides and purple eyes. She wears the same clothes as Nadeshiko. This is Rin Shima.
"Did you hear that?" Nadeshiko asked.
Rin Shima looks ahead at the woods. "A bear."
Bee shrugged. "I told them. They didn't listen."

Meanwhile, Tomoko Kuroki is waiting for someone.
"Hey."
Tomoko gets up, and a girl came to her.
This girl has black hair and green eyes. She wears a yellow short sleeve dress, blue jeans and pink sneakers. This is Kiko Satozaki, Tomoko's cousin.
"Hey there, Kii-chan." Tomoko said.
"I heard you go to school here now." Kiko said.
"Well, that's true."
"Could I take a tour?"
"Sure."
"Thanks." Kiko smiled.
"Guess my little cousin is visiting me yet again." Tomoko thought.
Ika's World
Meanwhile, Ika Musume is working on the Lemon Beach House, and someone came in.
It's a man that has a beard and black hair. He wears a black long sleeve suit, black pants and black shoes. This is the legendary hitman, John Wick.
"Hello." Wick said.
Ika stopped working and saw Wick. "May I help you?"
"Yes. I need your phone number." Wick said.
"Aw squid. Not another one!" Ika thought. "Is this for Bond?"
"Yes." Wick said.
"Then no. I'm not giving him my phone number. Heck, I don't have a phone." Ika said.
Wick sighed. "Alright then. Sorry I wasted your time." He then left the House, but saw a man stealing a wallet running to the beach house, but he got out his gun and shot him.
"Oh squid!" Ika got startled.
"Sorry about that." Wick grabs the wallet, then goes to find who's wallet it was.
"Oh squid. Who was that?" Ika wondered.

Meanwhile, a female was walking to the door.
This female has shoulder-length brownish-orange hair that has bangs hanging over her eyebrows and brownish-orange eyes. She wears a white t-shirt, black shorts, white ankle socks and light blue sneakers. This is Airi Kashii.
"Are you guys done yet?" Airi opened the door. She saw Stocking Anarchy, Panty Anarchy, Rolf, Mary, Harukasan and another Puchidol fighting over the Handy Dandy Notebook and smothering each other all at the same time.
This Puchidol has brown hair and brown eyes. She wears a pink headband, pink sleeveless shirt, white skirt and is barefoot. This is Io.
"Give me the goddamned Notebook!" Panty said.
"I found the clue first!" Stocking said.
"Actually I found the clue first you idiot!" Io said.
"I get to decide on the damned Notebook and I'm drawing it down with my crayon!" Mary said.
"I'm just gonna paint my tongue, then I'll draw it with my tongue." Harukasan said.
"That is gross!" Io said.
"It's a given." Harukasan said.
"Give me the damned Notebook, now!" Panty said.
"Help! The Son of the Shepherd is being crushed to death!" Rolf said.
Airi closed the door. "Nope. Blue's Clues is not over yet." She left.
Meanwhile, Riko is sitting at a table in the cafeteria, then she heard a buzz. "Findley?"
"No. It's me." Philomena flew down to the table.
"Who are you?" Riko asked.
"My name is Philomena Fly. And I am a news reporting fly."
"You have a strange accent."
"I'm British. Well, I am from the United Kingdom, but still. Saw we move on?"
"To what?"
"I'm gonna interview you, of course."
"I don't know how interviews work."
"All you have to do is answer my questions, and that'll be about it. Sounds hard."
Riko thinks. "As long as they're not hard, I guess."
"Splendid. Now, first of all, your name."
"Riko."
"Alright. Your last name."
"I don't have a last name."
"Oh. Okay. That's okay. Your birthdate."
"I couldn't remember that."
"Hmm. Quite odd. Um, your family history."
"Well, I don't know my father much, but my mother, she's a legendary Delver."
"A Delver?"
Riko nodded. "She is known as Lyza the Annihilator. My mom, as Leader told me, was just some weirdo before making her descent down to the Abyss. My mother found a Relic known as the Unheard Bell. But, I was born, and she decided to abandon the Unheard Bell and bring me back up to the surface. My mother's down there in the Abyss. I just know it."
"And what is the Abyss?"
"The Abyss is a big gaping hole that, as far as we can tell, is 25,000 meters down."
"My gosh. That is a long ways down."
"It is. There are seven layers of the Abyss. But we reached the 5th Layer before we stranded up here."
"I see. Which Layer were you born in?"
"The 4th Layer. That's where the Curse-Repelling Vessel is. It is a box that keeps the person from getting affected by the curse."
"Curse?"
"Each Layer has a curse. The farther down you go, the more deadlier the curse is. The 7th Layer can bring you death for sure."
"Yikes. You're not planning on going down there, are you?"
"I have to. I wanna see for myself if my mother's okay."
Philomena nodded. "Wouldn't she have died long ago?"
"I don't believe that. I believe she is still alive. I just...need to get down there. Somehow."
"But you're stuck here in this world."
"I know."
Philomena nodded. "You're an interesting one. I've written every detail you told me about you. Well, not, but still."
"You keep note?"
"Yes, yes, of course."
"Huh. You can write this down also, that the reason why I wear these glasses here is more because otherwise I suffer headaches, due to being born in the Abyss and I have gotten affected by the Strain of Ascension."
"Those aren't normal glasses?"
"They're crystal lenses."
"Huh. Very interesting." Philomena written that down. "So the only way you get the curse is by going up, correct?"
"Yes."
"Okay then. You're quite odd. But a very interesting interview. I would like to talk to you more in the future."
"Alright. I think I'll accept that."
"Thank you. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have things to attend to. Bye bye." Philomena flew off.
"Bye." Riko waved.
Bo Dennis came to her. "Crystal lenses? That's an odd thing for ya."
"What do you expect?" Riko asked.
Bo shrugged. "Don't know. Supernatural phenomenons."
Riko sighed. "Oh well."
"I need Riko back here." Katy said.
"What did I do now?"
Burn it to the Ground by Nickelback
Meanwhile, in the arcade room, we see The Doctor and Sheldon Cooper dancing to the song.
Well, it's midnight, damn right
We're wound up too tight
I've got a fist full of whiskey
The bottle just bit me
Oh, that shit makes me bat shit crazy
We've got no fear, no doubt
All in balls out
We're going off tonight
To kick out every light
Take anything we want
Drink everything in sight
We're going till the world stops turning
While we burn it to the ground tonight
Joy is seen at the concession stand, watching this.
"Hey, boyfriend." A girl came to him.
This girl is a 40s cartoon girl that has brown hair and blue eyes. She wears a blue short sleeve dress, white socks and black Mary Jane shoes. This is Little Audrey.
"Oh my God. Don't call me your boyfriend." Joy said.
"But you are my boyfriend." Audrey said.
"How am I your boyfriend if I did not met you yet? Or, meet me?"
"You look lovely. Look nice. Look soft. Like Valentine all over again. In my mind."
"What the hell is wrong with you?"
"Nothing's wrong with Little Audrey." She kissed Joy...in the lips!
Joy is very startled at this, and struggled to get Audrey off him, to which he did. "What was that?!"
"That was a kiss."
"You should have warned me first!"
"It's a lovely kiss."
"I don't care! God, you scare me at times!"
"We can go on our honeymoon together."
"Don't make me think about it."
"We can do all sorts of things together."
Joy gets off of the stand and runs off.
"Oh, I'm not letting you get away." Audrey gets off as well and chases after Joy.
Joy looks behind him, and screamed. "Get away from me! Help! There's a crazy girl chasing me!"
The Doctor and Sheldon stopped dancing and saw this.
"Should we help him?" Sheldon asked.
"Better be an idea." The Doctor gets off of the dance pad and runs to Joy and Audrey.
Meanwhile, in the captain's desk, we see Captain Jean-Luc Picard, Kyubey, Rebecca Miyamoto, Paiman and Katy all gathered in the room.
"I've gotten reports from Lelouch Lamperouge that there's gonna be a mall here soon." Picard said.
"A mall?" Paiman asked.
"That's odd. Never heard of that before." Katy said.
"Captain. I'm confused. Where is this mall, anyways?" Kyubey asked.
"It's gonna be on Normal Earth." Picard said.
"Normal Earth?" Paiman asked.
"There's such thing?" Katy asked.
"There is." Picard said.
"Whippity Pow." Katy said her catchphrase.
"Huh. Alright. We send our students there then?" Paiman asked.
"Yes. It might be fun to do so." Picard said.
"Yes, captain." Katy said. "I think it will be fun myself."
"It sure will be." Kyubey said.
"Now, tell Lelouch that they're coming to the mall. And do tell Hatsune Miku as well." Picard said.
"Hatsune Miku?" Katy asked.
"She's a Vocaloid. I think you'll like her." Picard said.
"Yes, sir." Katy then left the room.
"Captain? About Kaolla and Tsukuru…" Kyubey said.
"I know. They're in prison. Because of what stupid thing they have done. Idiots." Picard said.
New York
In prison, we see Tsukuru and Kaolla pasting around.
"What did we do to deserve this?" Tsukuru said.
That's it, folks! See you next time!
Ann dances on screen with the text behind her.

In Ted's quarters, Ted is sleeping, and then, he had a dream.
Antarctica
Ted has rifles all over him. "Together, with me and my penguin crew,"
Emperor penguins with rifles are behind him.
"we'll defeat this polar bear."
The polar bear came to them, and roared loudly.
"Attack!" Ted shouted.
The penguins and Ted attacks the polar bear with rifles, but the polar bear knocks out every penguin there is, except for some. But Ted finished the score with him punching him in the face, that knocked the polar bear to the sky.
"We did it everybody. Mission accomplished." Ted said.
The ice under the teddy bear cracked and he started falling and screaming. He then landed, then he is surrounded by dancing Ronald McDonalds.
"Aw shit. What do I do? Call in my penguins?" Ted looks around.
The Ronald McDonalds gets closer to him.
"No don't get closer to me. No. No. No. No." Ted said.
The Ronald McDonalds are closing in on Ted. He screamed.

Ted jolted up, screaming. He panted. "Oh fuck. What the fuck did I just dreamt of? I don't think I'll ever go to McDonald's ever again due to what the hell I just dreamt. Oh fuck."
Outside of his quarters, we see Hikaru Shiina walking to her quarters.
"Oh Jesus!" We heard Ted said.
Hikaru stopped, looks at the door, then shrugged, then left.
Next time: Randomness Mall
And that's a wrap! That was so fun! There is a lot of references in this chapter! Think you know what ones they're from? Let me know. And tell me what your favorite part of this chapter is on the Review section. And also, sorry about Audrey here. I was going for a boyfriend/girlfriend relationship with Joy from Napping Princess. I kind of made her creepy in the end. The songs used in this chapter are I Love It by Icona Pop and Burn it to the Ground by Nickelback, which I don't own. And for the omake, that was based on a very odd dream I had. Well, it doesn't have Ronald McDonald, but still. Next time, a mall is opened in Normal Earth, and this will be the first chapter for Normal Earth to finally debut.
See you all in the next chapter of Meta-Verse.
