Chapter: Reality Games!
?
"Ugh...my head hurts..."
That was the voice of Katja, who began to rise up off of the ground as she rubs her aching head with one of her eyes clothes. Once she began to feel better, she began to look around and notices one thing...it was basically pitch black where she was. Shaking her head and spinning around to see where she was, the female had thousands of thoughts going through her mind before she attempts to summon light through her bracelet...but that doesn't work at all.
Blinking in surprise, the bluenette begins to feel around her wrists and body to make sure that her spirit bracelet wasn't misplaced in any place as she also calls out for Deez or Romeo, and neither respond as fear slowly consumes her mind. Not for her no, but for her spirits and her friends. At the moment she was completely separated from the group and her bracelet is nowhere to be found! They could be anywhere at the moment in some different universe! They could be in a world fighting for their lives! They could be getting tortured until they break! They could be getting eaten alive by fish! They could b-
"Please tell me your the real Katja mumbling or is the darkness getting to me..."
Eyes widening and gaze hardening, the Grand Summoner puts her multiple years of fighting experience and instinct to use and quickly places whoever was near her in a chokehold so tight she would've snapped their neck. However, after some gasps for air and a good feel around of the person's head, Katja immediately lets go of the person and hugs them whilst apologizing profusely.
"Chelia! I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to! I was just scared and confused an-" The blue haired mage was cut off when the female places a hand over her mouth and sighs
"Yeah, I can tell..." The God Slayer comments as she looks around the darkness. "I've been wandering around this place for a good eight minutes now and couldn't find no one. You, Deez, Madara, the gecko, no one. You had any luck?" She asks her friend, who solemnly shakes her head
"No, I actually just woke up and found out about everything. Can you use your magic? I can't seem to use mine." Katja asks, all while she tries summoning purple flames
"Nope, I'm dry here as well. Heh, sucks if we were in enemy territory right now wouldn't it?" Chelia remarks with a small chuckle, making the bluenette sigh
"Don't say that...I don't want to worry more..."
Before her friend could respond a light shines from above as the entire area in which they were in lights up to show a destroyed city...inside a black cube like structure. It was also enormous, probably the size of an island as the two look around in surprise.
"What the..." Katja says before Chelia turns towards her and gains a shocked look
"U-Um...Katja..." She starts whilst pointing at her, getting the bluenette to be confused before noticing a nearby mirror in the wall of a building...and promptly blushing and squeaking at her current attire
Currently, the blue haired mage was wearing something way more...revealing than her previously fitting combat dress-skirt. This time she wore a tight fitting white leotard that hugged her curves as there was even a large window that showed off a good portion of her breasts, other than that she had on long blue gloves, long blue boots though her her legs and thighs were exposed, and finally a long red cape on her back. Safe to say...she looked like a hot superhero.
"W-What the...?!" She questioned with a large blush on her face as she instinctively covered herself up as the slayer eyes her
"You look cute." The pink haired mage remarks, making Katja blush harder as an embarrassed look covers her face before the slayer looks at her own outfit
It wasn't as revealing or hot looking as the bluenette's, though it looked pretty awesome to her; she was currently wearing a black, short sleeved shihakusho and kosode, white tabi, hakama-himo, and waraji along with a fingerless white tekko that reached up to her elbows.
"Huh, I look like some sort of...Death God...meh." She remarks as her friend is sputtering out words still
All of a sudden the two hears a large explosion in the distance that ruptured the land around them as the wind begin blasting and buildings crumbled around the two; seeing the large smoke cloud in the distance, the two nod to the other and make a break for where the explosion had taken place. Thankfully, it looks like the two had kept their enhanced speed and stamina so they managed to make it over to where the blast took place though the summoner was looking around confused.
"This looks...awfully familiar..." Katja comments in her head as she looks around the current area they were in
"Umm, I don't know if it's just me but do you see another you?" Chelia asks, making the bluenette's eyes go wide in shock
In fact, they nearly burst out of her skull once she looks where the slayer was looking; she sees herself in her old outfit battle damaged, running on top of a building as her summon Mindy next to her and Deez on her back holding on for dear life as they zoomed across the streets. Behind them not too far away was Gray and Wendy, both in either their Demon Slayer form or Dragon Force, speeding after her with the ice slayer speeding using his ice and the sky mage flying. Seeing this, the Grand Summoner's eyes could not get any wider as she hatches onto Chelia.
"Get us over there NOW!" She screams, shocking the sky mage before she nods and flies over in the direction of the smoke at top speeds; once over by the area, all they see is a large crater that covered a good portion of the city they were in as two figures laid in the middle nearly dead and bleeding out whilst another was on the top with a gun in her hands.
"What is this?" Chelia asks her friend as she looked at the damage in awe and shock while her friend narrows her eyes at the scene
"It...couldn't be..." She thinks to herself; surely they just got into another version of her world and events are playing out similar to there's, it has to b-
"ROMEO!"
Both mages turns their heads to a landing Katja-who just jumped into the crater-as she rushes towards the downed dragon slayer, arm missing with a hole and burn marks across his torso as he lays in a blood of his own blood with said substance coming from his back, chest hole, mouth, stump, and head. Not even a second later Gray and Wendy arrive and land near what appears to be a version of Natsu and an older Asuka as that dragon slayer had multiple dents and holes in his body with both his arms mangled to hell.
"Come on come on come on...!" This world's version of the Grand Summoner shouts in sadness as she rocks her near dead friends body a bit, though not getting a response
"Master Katja we need to get out of here!" Deez exclaims in worry as Wendy begins to heal the knocked out fire dragon slayer as his ice rival approaches them
"You caused so much pain...I believe taking you in is to much, I'm ending this here!" Gray exclaims as he puts his hands together, causing multiple lances of ice to rocket towards the two
"BACK UP!"
With that shout the summoner creates a purple wall of flames around her and her two friends as the Devil Slayer quickly rushes towards the flames and begins to freeze them as the bluenette continuously rushes to keep the flames igniting while Deez watches over Romeo
"Master Katja! We're not gonna make it out of this one..." He tells her with a slow look of sadness crossing his face while tears prickle the sides of his masters eyes
"Tch, dammit...wait!" She exclaims before summoning a gun into her hands and, without warning, opens a portal just as Gray breaks through and throws herself and her friends through the portal as the ice mage just barely misses catching them
"What...just happened...?" Chelia questioned from their spot on the building, watching as this version of Gray walks back towards his friends
"Its something that happened back in our Earthland, so I'm guessing we just arrived during the time me and Katja left."
Hearing this, the two look to the left of them to see both Romeo and Madara jumping onto the building they were on and walking over towards them...as Chelia grins and being to laugh out loud and gets a chuckle from Katja, making the ninja deadpan and the dragon slayer scowl.
The reason? Romeo was currently dressed in a purple and black maid outfit that involved the usual along with some cat ears, long black armbands that went to his hands though acted like fingerless gloves, and black thigh highs. As for Madara...he was dressed in a banana suit. The looked looked serious as well, and that made the females burst out with laughter-well the pinkette did, Katja had to put her hand to her mouth to muffle her laughter-, which made the two gain blank looks.
"...Should've expected that." The ninja mage says, unreadable expression on his face as the slayer next to him gains a scowl on his face
"Yep..." He replies before looking at the two's outfits and smirking. "You look dumb pinky but Katja...nice!" He says with a thumbs up, making the females stop as one glares at him and the other blushes
"So did you two find out anything about the current place we're in? Me and Romeo haven't had any luck on our end." Madara asks, getting the summoner of the group to shake her head
"Not anything I would think you haven't figured out; woke up in this place, we're in weird outfits, have no magic, and missing Deez." Katja answers, glowering a bit at that last bit as Chelia puts a comforting hand on her shoulder
"Don't worry, he has to be here somewhere! We'll just have to find him, in the name of love!" The God slayer exclaims, hands closed together and happy look on her face as the others sweatdrop
"Yeah, so I guess we should start by lo-
"Looks like your all awake, good~"
All four of their eyes widen at a sudden burst of energy above them; looking upwards, they see a giant face-well, not really a face but merely two white dots for eyes and smile-in the sky was the surrounding area around them begins to crack and tear itself into an all black area once more, a bright spotlight around the two as they look warily at the being slowly making its way in front of the group.
"Alright, who and what are you?" Romeo questions instinctively getting in front of Katja, determined to protect him and his friend even without his magic as the other two did the same
"No need to fear mortals, for I am not looking to harm any of you; my name is rather...long, so you can all call me Yaito and I'm the being that brought you all here, into my domain."
"Wait...so your the one who put me in this maid outfit?!" The dragon slayer exclaims in anger, making the being chuckle
"Of course! I've had my eyes on all of you multiverse travelers for a while now but sadly most of them are busy so you bunch were the next best choice! One of the weirdest groups yet and you all will fit perfectly into what I have stored for you!"
"You've been...watching us?" The Grand Summoner questions, cautious etching onto her features softly
"And what do you mean by having something in store for us?" Madara questions as well, crossing his arms over his banana suit
"Yes I have Katja! Actually I have been ever since you first started and that had to been a good few months by now; you breaching nearly a year ya know haha! Anyways Madara yes, I do have things I want you all to do because...well I'm bored and I decided playing with you all would be fun to do for a while!"
"..." The group says nothing, but merely glares at the being and thinking of multiple ways to attack
"Though can you all calm down for a minute please? I'm kinda want to get started quickly so I can remember what I want to do with you all...which is sending you all to three different worlds and having you jump in and play a..."game" of sorts. You all need to complete a directive and once that is done you'll be sent to the next world, then the next, until you come back here to me!"
"And what if we say no and just attack you right now?" Romeo asks, a dangerous yet excited grin crossing his face
"Aww you don't wanna play...than I guess I'll have to give you all an offer you can't refuse then~"
What comes next is a screen appearing next to the smiling face, showing a chained up Deez in a cage as he glared at whatever in front of him. Seeing this surprises everyone a little as both Romeo and Katja has killer intent releasing from them seeing their friend locked up like that.
"Ah Dijinni-Omnichannel or Deez for short, using him as a hostage would prompt you all to participate in my games, especially if my look through both of these two's memories are correct~"
"Our...memories...?" The male slayer questions, feeling a bit creeped out while the summoner behind him widens her eyes
"Yep, your memories! What else did you think was going on around you?"
With that said the black immediately goes away to reveal a younger Chelia sitting shocked and in tears as she see's Wendy, in Third Origin, on her knees and a smile to her face with tears going down her cheeks as a fallen Dimaria lays in front of her knocked out.
"Its...ok Chelia, everything will still work out..." Wendy tells her friend, who was close to breaking down as the wind around her friend begins to slow down as her Dragon Force wears off
"T-This is when..." The pink haired slayer gets out, surprised
"Wait, what's the story here?" Her rival asks confused
"This looks like the Alvarez War...where Wendy had lost her magic for a short time to fight Dimaria..." Chelia answers, gritting her teeth and clutching her fists as her fellow slayer blinks
"Really? Damn..." Was the purple haired mages answer as the area begins to change once more
"HASHIRAMA!"
"MADARA!"
Currently Madara Uchiha was on top of a giant nine tailed fox, Susanoo covering its body as he was firing a barrage of Bijuu Bombs towards his rival, the first Hokage Hashirama Senju who was in his Sage Mode on top of a giant wood statue, launching thousands of wooden arms to counter each and every attack that the Uchiha sent his way.
"This looks fun as hell!" The purple haired mage comments, clearly enjoying what was going on in front of him whilst the others stood in shock from the power being displayed or slightly surprised at what was shown
"Hmm my battle with Hashirama? You've picked this one out of all my other battles?" The sharingan user asks the being, who he could only could tell "shrugged"
"Hey, it was a pretty awesome fight! Now, are you all ready to go to the first world or what gang?!
"Wait you've never informed us on the worlds! Hell we never even agreed-I mean we are but still-and we still need our magic!" Chelia exclaims, a look of annoyance crossing her face
"Oh don't worry, you'll learn as you all go along! It'll be more fun like that and as for your powers...maybe after this first world! Don't worry, it'll be easy...though you will be annoyed! Have fun!"
With that said the being sent the group away to the first world, ignoring a certain two's screams of annoyance and questioning as it turns towards the face of a glaring Deez.
"You know they'll be able to take whatever you throw at them, and this little game of yours will end quick." The smaller creature informed the being who just chuckled
"Well then...Deez, lets see how long they'll be able to last...I hope this doesn't kill them, I actually like them."
45362737-FALL
"AHHHH!"
The group of four would all-well, minus Madara who just looked annoyed- as they fell onto a large platform with...what appeared to be large see-saws sitting both vertically and horizontally directly in front of them with bumpers on the sides, seemingly to prevent someone from falling off, and a giant spinning hammer towards the end of the large distance in front of them. That wasn't even the weird part, the weird part was not only the colors of everything around them-the sky was pink after all-and some small creatures dressed in a variety of outfits standing behind a line, doing exercises.
"...Yep...Weirdest looking universe I've been in yet...even topping that block world..." Romeo remarks blankly, taking note of how him and Madara were placed in the back and the others right in front of them
"Block world?" Chelia questions, slightly tilting her head in confusion
"Don't think about it..." Katja answers, nervously chuckling a little as she gets a nod from the God Slayer
"Welcome you four to the first world I have found! It is pretty fun...but annoying at the same time but I hope you guys enjoy! The goal is to make it to the ending ALLL the way down there and once you do you'll move on to the next round! There are about five rounds and some may include teams games with these lovely creatures over here! Have fun!"
"At least it's giving us descriptions of where we are..." The Grand Summoner comments, all while looking around and even spotting a large screen that showed how many people were in and how much are moving on
"So it's a race...interesting." The Uchiha remarks, smiling a little at the thought of a possible challenge to his skills
"You know the description is great and all but why are we in these outfits you b-you know what whatever lets get this over with." The dragon slayer of the group says pouting a little before his fellow slayer looks back at him with a smirk
"Ready to taste my dust gecko?" Chelia asks, crossing her arms as she gains a glare from the purple haired mage
"In your dreams you cow! Get ready to lose!" He says, both glaring at each other and getting ready to dash as the other two sweatdrop a little
Hearing some alarm suddenly ring out everyone begins to move out and run forward like idiots...well the creatures were, Romeo and Chelia were shoving each other around and or tripping each other to gain the lead as Katja and Madara rushed behind them, managing to get further. Dodging all the other creatures around them-as some even tried grabbing them-the ninja and Grand Summoner managed to get past the first few stages, that thankfully wasn't leaning, before getting over a see-saw once more before looking back to see their friends narrowly making it to one of the two see-saw's as they stand up on their sides.
"Wait wait wait wait wait!" Romeo exclaims as he runs towards the top of a damn near vertical see saw before jumping on a platform in front of him, a ding heard around him as he was marked safe...before three of the creatures fall on top of him with Chelia landing on the other side
"Ha!" She laughs before dashing past Katja and Madara, who merely sigh and run behind her as the dragon slayer across from them growls a bit and dashes off himself
The next three see-saws wasn't that difficult as the four were some of the only few up front, hell the only real difficult part for them was balancing when they were on a see-saw together though Chelia did trip and was going to fall off...but screwed Romeo over and grabbed him and messed up his jump as he and her fell into the pink abyss below. Though thankfully the voice that brought them here told them they'd respond soon and sure enough they did, rushing back over the see-saws hurriedly as the creatures surround them and try in vain to get over the see-saws.
Eventually they would all make it to the final bunch of see-saws...well Katja and Madara did, having teleported away into some some small colorful area as they are now able t to observe everything on the current map, including their friends trying their best to get past the see-saws but failing miserably due to literal physics and how every creature was balancing terribly.
"I'm both glad that we made it through...but sad their still in it." The bluenette remarks, looking at a swearing Romeo and an annoyed Chelia
"They act like children, can't even walk properly either." The ninja-mage comments, staring in distain as he watches the creatures standing on a single side of the see-saw and drop everyone on it
"BY THE MULTIVERSE I SWEAR THESE CREATURES NEVER HAD ANY FRIENDS!" Rome shouts, him and Chelia finally making it to the other two as the God slayer falls on her her knees exasperated as the fellow slayer looks ready to blow
"8 times...before we even got to the FUCKING END! ITS NOT HARD TO KNOW TO STAY ON EQUAL SIDES TO BALANCE IT OUT!" The dragon slayer shouts and Katja was sure if he had his magic his eyes would've turned white
"But...I'm glad its over now." The pinkette says with a sigh as the space around them warps to show a variety of different areas and a highlight over each one of them as said highlight jumps between them all
"So this is how we see where we end up?" Madara says in interest as the highlight lands on...a giant ice wheel with circles in them; in that moment the group is teleported, along with a ton of others, into a rather icy area-Katja was freezing, her costume wasn't the best for the winter-as large ice circles were placed meters in front of them with bronze and silvers rings in them
"Goal of this map is to hop through the rings to end up qualifying in the next round and to do that the goal is to get at least 15 total points; how to get points to to jump through the rings as the bronze will give you a single point, silver 2, and goal-which you will see in the second ice circle and area behind that-will give you 3. Personally I'd get the bronze and silver then try to get the gold in the last spot but that's just me. Have fun!"
"This is about to be easy!" Chelia comments, smile on her face as Romeo gains a deadpanned look
"What'd you know a map perfectly designed for you and your wind powers, cheater." He remarks, getting a glare from the female
"Its not cheating if I don't got my powers!" She exclaims and as they looked to start another fight the alarm suddenly blares as the creatures begin to slide down the ice and towards the ice circles
"You can fight later but for now lets go." Madara tells them, crossing his arms over his banana outfit as he steps onto the ice and slides down as he effortlessly courses through a multitude of creatures before jumping through a silver ring
"...Sure." The two slayers say, following a now running Katja as the three manage to get through a bronze colored ring...before Romeo landed on a spring as he kept on getting launched up and down, stuck on that one spot
"ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!" He shouts annoyed, trying his damn bets to move but fails; hearing this cry both of the females look at him-as the go into another silver ring mind you-with either a look of humor or worry...though it didn't last long as Madara made his way on his second trip around and passes them
"Word of advice, always try going for the gold in the middle." He tells them as he jumps into the gold in front of the two, who follow him with minimal effort
The next few moments went really well for the three, getting enough rings for the three to advance to the next round relatively quick and secured spots...though Romeo however...
"BWAHAHAHAHAHA!"
"Shut up...!"
He...wasn't so lucky. That one spring would not let him go and kept bouncing him up and down until he managed to get bounced just far enough for him to get past it and completely miss the second circle, as some creature slammed into him last second; it was just a series of bad luck from there and the slayer just missed a spot, having only needed a singular point but was unable to get one as he was heading into a circle.
"Y-YOU WERE RIGHT THERE! AND YOU STILL FAILED HAHAHAHA!" Chelia laughs, on her knees as laughed aloud; meanwhile Madara meanwhile was watching what map they were get next while Romeo sat in the corner depressed, Katja petting his shoulder to comfort him
"Don't worry about it, you just got unlucky." The bluenette tells her sulking friend, who just shakes his head as the highlight in front of them lands on another map
"We'll make sure to win for you alright, I guess while we're doing this you can make fun of the other creatures. Will that make you feel better?" She asks, making him nod a bit as his three partners are teleported away
For the next two maps everything actually went pretty well. The first of the two just being a simple stay on top of a certain platform with a fruit on it as you you try standing on one with the same on one of the three big screens surrounding you; it went relatively well, all three memories being pretty great so they were to remember pretty easily, the only really challenge coming from a random from some moving object in the middle circling around the platforms and the creatures flying around but they all still managed to make it to the next round which was...not as pleasant. It was an obstacle course type arena though there was a pink slime akin to those from supposed ground of the previous rounds rising from the ground to swallow them; now the obstacles weren't that difficult to the three no no no, it was just the tiny creatures having no intellect whatsoever and would either jump at random places or would stand still at random places and would try grabbing others to drag them into the ground and while it was pretty funny, it was also annoying to escape their rather tough grasps.
Though despite this all the three managed and made it to the final round of this world, thankful that this was almost over as Romeo-along with a bunch of other creatures-would sit would sit above and watch either cheering, shouting, doing something in the middle, or watching in silence. With that said the map would quickly switch to the final arena, a large hexagon that looked similar to a honeycomb in various colors separated and stacked on top of the other as each remaining creature or person stood waiting for the horn.
"Alright for this one its just gonna be the last man standing! You end up on the platform longer than the other few contestants remaining you win the ENTIRE game! But there's a twist for newcomers, as the platforms under you disappear with each step so be careful where you end up! Cause for all you know under you awaits a large ocean of pink goop! Have fun!"
"You guys got this!" Romeo cheers from the flying stands, getting a thumbs up from Katja as the horn blares
With that sound the platforms under each of the creatures remaining disappear, placing everyone on the hexagon under them as everyone walks or scatters around to avoid the disappearing platforms under them; some were lucky as they were able to do so without much difficulty-other than the occasional run in to fellow creatures- but others would just stand still and go down, somehow fall off the sides, or one grabbing Chelia and dragging her down with them
"KYA!" The pink haired mage exclaims in surprise-making Romeo laugh in the stands-as she pushes off the creature and lands on top of a platform near the body, though the creature wasn't as lucky as it falls into the pink goo
"Well that must suck." She remarks, slowly hopping on each and every comb to preserve space, though not noticing the creature below her cutting out the entire middle portion of the hexagon under her
The next few moments were pretty...hectic to say the least; more and more creatures were falling and taking their fellow creatures with them while others would try to knock others out by either cutting off their direction or completely cutting out most of the final layer. Both Chelia and Madara were victims of this, as Chelia was cut off and despite her attempts of getting onto another platform failed as Madara just got screwed over and as he was falling got the platform he was aiming at taken and merely crossed his arms as he fell into the slime. Now with a smirking Romeo in the stands, they all watch Katja and one final creature trying their hardest to stay on the final layout, slowly hopping from platform to platform to keep a balance longer than the other.
"You got this Katja! Show that little guy what's for!" The dragon slayer of the four exclaims encouragingly
"Come on Katja, you can do this!" The God slayer exclaims with an encouraging smile on her face whilst Madara softly waved a sign that read "Go Katja"
Smiling at the encouragement of her teammates, the bluenette felt nothing sort of determination as she hopped on and off each and every remaining platform. She was sure she could win this even with the limited amount of space she had! Hell her opponent only has two more spots left! She could absolutely win th-why does she feel nothing but air under her boots?
"Oh...shit." She gets out as she begins to fall alongside the creature, both landing in the pool of slime as a winner; everyone stood there speechless, not knowing how to respond before the group of multiversal travelers are teleported back into the black space once more, a spotlight shining down on them.
"That slime was...weirdly warm." Katja remarks, shivering a bit as Madara and Chelia look at each other then back at her
"Tell me about it." They remark themselves
"Huh, both glad and sad I wasn't in it." Romeo states, looking around before the giant "face" appears in front of them
"Well good news...You won! Congrats Katja!" It says, a crown teleporting on said female's head which gets grins or small smiles from her partners, making her blush a little in embarrassment
"Anyways this is your second world guys! Don't worry, it won't be as annoying as the last one though it will make you want to kill some people but don't worry! This is actually pretty short!"
With a widening of it's eyes, the "face" teleports the group into what could only be assumed a racing arena, though it there were about eight cars in position ready to drive across dirt and some plains with bumps. Romeo was already looking sick before shaking his head, actually realizing how without his slayer powers he could actually stay in this car without motion sickness, which he was loving; Meanwhile Chelia was honking her horn a little, finding the honking rather cute, as Madara and Katja looked at the fields in front of them.
"Welcome to the dreaded-but actually really cool-track of "Excite Bike" in this Kart game everyone! First one to make it around this entire course after 3 times will earn first place of course! Though you'll still get placements depending on where you end up...but I'd personally aim for top 5! Have fun everyone!"
"...Well I'm not gonna win..." The purple haired mage declares; despite his now gone motion sickness he's NEVER drove a vehicle in his life and now he was meant to race? Yeah, he wasn't too confident about this.
"Umm...just like the wind right?" The God slayer mutters, looking around as she hoped her flying could translate somewhat to her driving; though over by Katja and Madara they were surprisingly calm, both having drove a ton before so they had some knowledge, but wondered if the handling on these carts will be any different.
"On the count of 3...5!"
With that the horn blares, making everyone start their carts as they begin to drive...well Romeo drove into a nearby wall as the other stayed on track and dtayed on path until they ran into some floating crystal's with question marks on them.
"Those are item boxes as I like to call them! They will give you something to either help you gain the lead or screw others over in front or behind you!"
"Really..." Chelia mutters, looking back at a somehow 11th place Romeo before throwing her green shell at him, which hits as he spirals
"FUCK!" He screams, now in last place as the person in front of him takes his item box right in front of him which makes the God slayer smirk in satisfaction as she continues her race
Speeding and drifting along the grass everyone comes up on a pretty large bump in the road as they all speed over it, some other creatures doing short tricks whilst Romeo nearly falls out of his cart; landing and swerving around, the group would repeat the same with not much effort as they cross into the second lap and things...would go to hell real fast.
"Cap!" Chelia exclaims, being hit by a surprise red shell as she drops in places, not in eight as Romeo and some guy in a elf costume zooms past them
"If another bomb hits me I'm throwing these fireballs backwards..." Madara mutters, holding a fireball in his hand as he narrowly dodges a exploding bomb
"Why?!" Romeo shouts as he is hit by a colored coated creature before crushing a star in his hands, dashing past everyone as he knocks into a certain pinkette as she was going though a item box
"Oh come on!" She shouts in frustration as she also manages to grab both a star and banana as she rides along
Yeah the next few moments were hectic to those three, as Romeo and Chelia tried damaging each other-which ended when Romeo was hit by three different shells-as Madara stayed in a steady 5th place throughout, only getting hit a few times. Meanwhile though Katja of all people was in first place with flying colors as she sped past her final item box on the last lap, obtaining a coin as she nears the finish line.
"Almost there..." She gets out as she smiles once she was about to hit the ending...as a blue shell explodes above her
Once that explosion happened Madara, who was behind her thanks to a bullet bill, passes first as other people including Chelia followed; though nicely enough once Romeo sees his friend coming out of her daze slows down and waits for her to finish 9th as he follows right behind. Once that was done the group is teleported back to the black space once more as the face "grins" at them.
"Congrats Madara you won the race! Take this crown!" It shouts before a crown appears on said ninja's head, who just nods
"Alright so what's the next challenge?" The God slayer of the group asks as the beings grin widens
"Glad you asked, cause its a simple one really you know; Just try to obtain your friend as from me..."
With that said the being teleports a caged Deez in front of the group, making theirs eyes widen a bit; Katja immediately tries to go for her friend but was stopped once Romeo puts a hand on her shoulder, narrowing his eyes at the being as the others did the same.
"Master Katja...nice outfit!" The little guy says with a thumbs up, making his group gain a blank look for a moment as the being in front of them laughs
"As expected...anyways shall we get this show on the road~?"
With that said a portal opens up behind Deez, sucking him in as everyone's eyes widen in surrpise...though not for long as they quickly dash towards and inside the portal...

"Oof!"
With that noise the group slides into a rather...large arena arena; there were people and other creatures filling the stands as they all looked confused at the new onlookers as half of the people and creatures looked at them with pure...power radiating off of them. Though no one was more surprised than the two others in the arena, both male but one wearing nothing but a leaf to cover up his genital area while the other was an stupidly muscular old man in a Greek robe of sorts.
"Ah, where did we end up...?" Katja questions, her along with her friends standing up and looking around
"Oh look new people, did Brunhilde send you to participate here as well?" The old man asks the group, though once he looked at Chelia something felt...off
Hell it wasn't just him, a ton of people felt weird looking at her as she felt the same...but the other members of the group were a bit different. Katja was feeling a bit embarrassed by all the stares aimed at her while Romeo and Madara grinned a bit, noticing the raw power of a ton of people watching them before the ninja looked at the leaf wearer.
"Hey, have you seen a cage fly in here? We're just gonna get that and be on our way." He says, though getting a shake from the head
"Not at all..." He starts
"Madara." The ninja states, making the male nod
"Adam." The guy says, smiling a little as he looked at his "children"
"So old man, what's going on here?" The dragon slayer asks, grin widening in excitement as he eyed the stands full of people
"Wait so you don't know, strange ufufu! Right here is a tournament between the Gods and Human's, and you just interrupted the second match young man." He states, making both Katja and Chelia's eyes widen in shock as the other two grins more
"A tournament huh..." The purple haired male mutters...
"THERE!"
Looking over, the three look to where the pinkette was pointing to see Deez flying through another portal before taking off with her fellow female; while the two other team members were a bit disappointed they couldn't say they shrug before dashing towards the portal as well, entering it as they leave the world.
"Well that was weird...anyways back to the fighting!" The old man exclaims, muscles contracting as he begins to thin out
"Whatever you say pops."

The group were now in a world and on a airship God knows how feet in the sky as countless black creatures invading the skies, flying around as in front of them some black and red head girl with a scythe fought a orange haired male in the most glorious outfit ever, not to mention a ice cream haired female flying away on an umbrella in shock.
"Anyone see him?" Romeo asks, narrowly dodging a flying creatures attack to eat him whole
"Over there!" Katja exclaims, right above an even larger creature that was diving right onto the hat man, attempting to eat him
Though it wouldn't happen as the group of four would ash right at the creature before the group kick him out of the way and begin to run up the creature; as thsi happens other creatures would slam into the larger one to get to them but would fail as they were able to dodge before another portal sucks them in...
3572-LOK
They were now in water as they look around, barely noticing a giant blue woman fighting with some black and red man as a city shined behind them.
"Alright, not even gonna question this one..." The dragon slayer states, noticing Deez right near them as Madara manages to grab him...but not before teleporting awya again.

They were now in some base, a bunch of robots fighting a group of people in red or blue armor-one was in pink armor though-as they come crashing into a group of three that was able to attack this yellow one's poor crotch.
"Meep!" Katja exclaims as they crash onto the ground, along with her group
"Who are you?" One blue armor guy asks, shooting at another robot as nearby a red one shoots one with his shotgun
"Umm...multiverse travelers." Chelia answers, making him gain a deadpanned look under his helmet
"I don't believe you." He says, amkign them shrug
"Fair."
Though not even a second later they were teleported away once more
?:
Finally the group made it back to the black space once more, Deez witht hem as they stood up and rubbed their heads.
"I'm really starting to get annoyed of multiverse traveling..." The God slayer of the group remarks with a sigh
"You know what, I agree..." Her slayer rival replies as he cracks his neck
"Deez!" Katja shouts, running over to Madara before grabbing her friend and giving him a big hug
"...Yep, definitely getting kidnapped more often." The puffball says, snuggling closer into his master's chest while the black haired male behind him looks at him with a deadpanned expression
"Well done guys! Well done!"The being says, earning glares from everyone present as he looked a bit surprised. "you all look mad."
"...You kidnapped us and put us in annoying worlds-though I wanna see more of that tournament one-, took away our magic, changed us into this dumbass outfits and made us chase our friend through multiple worlds in order to catch him...OF COURSE WE'RE MAD!" Romeo shouts, making the being sigh
"Well how about I make it up to you..." It says, and with that they were back into their previous outfits as their magic coursed through their bodies...only this time they felt...stronger
"Wow!" Chelia exclaims, wind spreading around her arm as she eyes the power of it in as the others look surprised
"Well this is surprising..." Madara remarks, smirking a bit as the power courses through his body
"I just increased all of your power by 2x since before you came here...your welcome by the way." It tells them, smirking as he looks at their surprised, or completely shocked, faces
"Woah..." Both Romeo and Katja get out, though the former was grinning a bit
"After all, you'll need it for when you fight those Dragon Gods."
This makes everyone stop their aweing and look at the being with slightly confused looks before shrugging it off, realizing that he probably just looked into their memories to understand that.
"If I may ask...why did you do this? You could've probably picked anyone or group to play out this "game" of yours and you chose us? Why?" The Grand Summoner asks, looking at the face as her team did the same which makes it sigh
"I could've but...I like you guys ya know, and your the people who fight against the people who created me so of course I wanted to see you all."
That immediately makes everyone pay attention as they look at the being confused.
"Back in the day I used to...work for those Dragon Gods your fighting right now; I was created by the oldest member of the Big 7 Xavier as a way to serve them by tricking entire worlds, playing with their lives until they meant nothing to me anymore. We'd both go to various worlds, countless and do the same thing over, and over, and over again as the God's army grew until it became what it is known as today. Though over the course of the long time I've spent in the army I'd...change..."
"No longer was I the being the God's created, as I began to discover the simpler things in life and the pure fun I could have without following their orders so as a result...I disserted. Left and never came back and stationed myself in this pocket dimension so I could watch over the lives of millions universes and worlds, finding out the fun I could have until I came across you all. The most dysfunctional group and random group yet but despite this somehow still accomplishes their goals one way or another."
"I know everything about al of you; your pasts, your presents, and can even predict your future but let me tell you with how your all now wanted by these Gods you all might not even live to see it...so that's one reason I gave you a buff, cause at the level your at you won't stand a chance against the 7, their personal guards, and maybe the high rated officers. I guess I don't really want you all to die so soon before "
Simply put, hearing this was nothing but shocking, as the group stood at what the being in front of them said; though this didn't last long, as a portal opens up right behind to as a group of four walked out from it.
"Well, that was a very nice story you told Arcables." Xavier says, arms crossed behind his back as he eyes the people in front of him
"Ooh you were right Indra~ They are here and look beautiful~ need to reward you later before I play with them for a while~" Ayame comments, licking her lips as te group feels a chill go down their spines, meanwhile Indra just has a blank look
"Whatever." He says, making Romeo's eyes widen before a scowl enters his face
"Indra..." He growls, blue particles coming off of him as he readies himself for attack
"Romeo Conbolt, unfortunately our business is not with you but that...creature behind you. Move and no harm will come to you." The staff wielder says, said staff in his hands his he aims it at the dragon slayer, who along his his group prepares for battle
"Woah woah woah easy! There's no need to fight and I love fighting as much as the next guy!" Zao says, suddenly in between the two groups with a hand outstretched between the two
"Dragon slayer..." The group thinks as they eye the marking covered male; meanwhile Arcables scowls before his eyes widen, opening a portal under the group
"Sorry about this"
"Don't you d-
Romeo was cut off when him along with his team falls into the portal, leaving only the being and the four Elite 7 members as they stare at each other.
"Arcables, do you really think that was a good idea? We can track them to the next world after all." Xavier asks, eyebrow raised as the being chuckles
"Maybe, but at least they won't be here..."
With that said the space around the group begins to shake and enclose, reality tearing itself apart as the space dies out and Arcables smirks at the group rather calm expressions.
"Aww your killing yourself? That's no fun..." Zao says with a pout and crossed arms
"Yeah what he said, and I came all this way for a fight too what a bummer; I guess my cupcake party won't be put on hold anymore." Ayame says, holding onto a blank Indra as he sighs
"Well if this is the path you choose then I can't really stop you huh? I just hope you'll find whatever peace in the afterlife my son." Xavier says, head down a bit as said "son" smiles
"Right back at ya pops."
With a roar the space finally finishes enclosing, though the four were able to escape via a portal by Indra as they leave...nothing remaining. Meanwhile with the four they are teleported to a rocky wasteland as they walk through with varying looks ont heir face; Xavier neutral, Zao disappointed, Ayame happy that she was snuggling up to Indra, and said male deadpanned.
""That was pretty anticlimactic." The dragon slayer states
"Well don't worry Number 1, the fun will begin soon..." The old man says, revealing a tracking device as the three look at it shocked-well, mostly Zao and Ayame-
"You tracked them, smart." The staff holder says
"Yes I did, and troops are already going to their current location. Lets just see how much of a threat these five are to the Gods."
AND DONE!
