"So are you saying that this Yanagisawa is a dimension hopper?" John asked as he and Agent Venom were sitting down in the main area
"Yeah, judging by the books having different frequencies, also its always page 55" Agent Venom said
"Mmm, this is going to be a tricky one" John said
"What if he used a different type of ink on page 55?" Chiba asked as he was doing weapon maintenance
"War Machine scanned the pages, using any and all types of light, he even looked for any traces for ink; but he couldn't find anything" Agent Venom stated
"That's not good" John said
"Hold on I have an idea, Yo FLASH!" Agent Venom shouted
"Right here" Flash said running into the room
"I want you to head back to the abandoned lab and look for more Busty Bikini Babe books" Agent Venom said
"You want to see if he has more hidden research?" Flash asked
"Yeah, also something has popped up as well, we're hoping that more books can lead us to uncover this new mystery" Agent Venom said
"Say no more" Flash said speeding off
"He'll be back in 10-15 minutes" Agent Venom said
"Ah okay" John nodded
"Okay, if I was a book where would I hide?" Flash asked as he entered the abandoned lab before looking around "Anywhere, maybe the library" he asked before the sound of clinking glass entered his hearing confusing him. "No one should be here right, then what is making that noise?" he asked as he zipped over to where the sound was, upon looking in he saw that the lab was being torn apart by, Shiro?
"Where is it, where did you hide them you bastard?" Shiro said "I know its somewhere here"
"Looking for something?" Flash asked as he stepped out of the shadows
"So you think dressing up as a hero makes you one, you must be a delusional sort. Hm, but a bigger question is who you are" Shiro said
"I can ask the same of you" Flash said sternly
"Hm, if I had to hazard a guess you're from a different dimension, maybe even from an alternate Nexus. Which will be interesting" Shiro said "Yes, once I have the research I need I'll capture you and see what makes you different" Shiro said
"Same to you" Flash taunted
"So did I do away with that overgrown garden octopus?" Shiro asked
"Nah, you were killed" Flash shrugged
"Another world where I have met my demise" Shiro frowned
"wait there are worlds where Shiro are still alive?" Flash asked frightened at that though
"Yes, though I should be dead myself is not for Kirigi" Shiro said
"Shit, the Lazarus pits" Flash gasped
"What are those?" Shiro asked giving Flash as clue "Oh well, I'll have fun experimenting with you" he said pulling out a gun, Flash gulped down some saliva when out of the corner of his eye he spotted them, three more volumes of the Bikini books he was sent for.
"Sorry, but I'm a bit busy" Flash said as he ran disappearing in a blur of lightning shocking Shiro
"Intriguing, he can match the creature's speed" Shiro said "But what did he take with him?" he asked looking around "Curious"
"Got them" Flash panted
"You seem out of breath for a guy who has super speed" Arsenal said "What's up"
"I just had an encounter with 'a' Shiro" Flash said
"You're shitting me" Arsenal said
"No, and he was looking for something" Flash stated "My bet, were these" he said handing Arsenal the books
"Three more, okay then let's see what we have" Arsenal hummed as he placed the books under the black light with the rest of them. What they saw shocked them
"Are we reading this correctly?" Flash asked
"If you're not then neither am I" Arsenal said "Hang on a tick" he said flipping toward page 55 "Hinano Kurahashi BBS champion 2023"
"That's Hinano?" Flash asked seeing a busty version of Green Lantern in a green lace up bikini "also BBS?"
"Beach Bikini Sports; once again no ink on this page, just like the others" Arsenal said
"Why would he leave these pages alone?" Flash asked
"I don't know, check the other two, page 55" Arsenal said
"On it" Flash said opening the last two book to page 55 "Okano and Nakamura" he said spotting them "So we have no idea what are on these pages"
"No" Arsenal said
"May I have a look at them?" a feminine voice asked making the two heroes jump and get ready for an attack "I'm over here" she deadpanned making the heroes look over to see a familiar face
"Oh hey Ritz" Arsenal said
"Hey" Ritsu smiled "Like I said may I have a look?"
"Sure" Flash said activating the overhead web camera
"Interesting, it looks like the eight 55th pages contain an AR code" Ritsu said
"AR Code?" Arsenal asked
"Augmented reality" Flash stated
"Oh" Arsenal said
"So what is on it?" Flash asked, making Arsenal shrugged so he got the page with Kataoka on it
"I'm on it" Ritsu said activating the AR camera
"What the heck?" Flash asked as the pair saw what was in the AR code
"I was not expecting this" Ritsu said
"I don't think we did either" Arsenal said
"You okay?" Toka asked as she came upon the Heroic Kaede who was just sitting on a bench
"Just a little worn out from using Thor so much" Kaede said
"So using your powers can overtax you huh?" Toka asked
"Sometimes they tire me out" Kaede said "But this is the first time I've felt this tired" she admitted
"I can take you back to their place if you like" Toka smiled
"Will that be okay with them?" Kaede asked
"It should be" Toka said "I'll ask Nagisa"
"Thank you" Kaede said as Toka left
"You alright?" Agent Venom asked as he turned the corner as Toka left
"Just feeling tired, I should ask you the same, since you've usually have a break and return to normal" Kaede said
"I'm fine, I think I can manage a while longer" Agent Venom said
"I suggest you take a break as well" the Nagisa of this world said as he turned walked over to them with Toka "Plus I'm sure my wife would like to meet you both"
"Are you sure?" Heroic Kaede said
"Yeah, now come on" Nagisa said as he lead the two away
"Just as long as we're not in that crappy Ford Fusion" Agent Venom said
"Hey! my car is not crappy" Nagisa said
"Sorry, but I'm use to something with more 'grunt'" Agent Venom said
"You can't drive" Heroic Kaede said
"Still counts" Agent Venom shrugged before he looked out the window
"Ritsu, what are we looking at?" Arsenal asked
"I have no clue, it seems to be DNA, but for what I don't know" Ritsu said frowning
"And these AR codes are on the other pages?" Flash asked getting the Fuwa page out to scan it for a code, "Same again, but different"
"What could they be" Arsenal glared
"Hang on" Flash said as he looked at a computer file "Project Connors, Project Mania, Project Anti-Venom"
"This could be linked to them" Ritsu said
"Look numerical code" Arsenal pointed out a column of numbers "1311491" he read out
"Using an alpha-numerical cipher reveals it to be Mania" Ritsu said making the two otherworldly heroes look at each "What is it?"
"In our world Mania is a symbiotic clone created from Agent Venom suit, then it was temporarily infused with the same type of fire that our Karma uses. But it was thought destroyed" Arsenal explaied
"That's not good" Ritsu said
"What if these pages contain Kuro's genetic projects?" Flash asked
"No, there may look like DNA but only that one contains the numbers to tell us what they are" Ritsu said
"Just as long as it doesn't lead to any evil clones of ours" Arsenal sighed before he froze "What if?"
"What if what?" Flash asked
"What if this Yanagisawa is creating human-klyntar hybrids and is making an army" Arsenal paled
"Then we need to find him" Ritsu said determined
"We're here" Nagisa said as he opened the front door to the house he shared with his wife
"Wow this is quaint" Heroic Kaede said
"Honey we're home" Nagisa called out
"What do you mean we're?" a voice similar to Kaede's said as an older version of Kaede walked into the room "Oh I see"
"Sorry for this" Agent venom said
"No its alright, we're use to inter-dimensional versions of ourselves" she said walking over "I take it you want to get some rest?"
"If you don't mind" Heroic Nagisa said returning to normal, barely holding himself up he was that tired, his Kaede then handed him some chocolate "Thanks"
"No worries" Heroic Kaede said kissing his cheek, making the two Hunters smile "Um, I hope it isn't much trouble but can I wash up first?"
"Oh sure, I'll show you the bathroom" Hunter Kaede said
"So you going to be okay?" Hunter Nagisa asked as Heroic Nagisa collapsed on the lounge after removing his shoes
"Yeah, I didn't realise how much it took out of me" Heroic Nagisa said as he fell asleep, chuckling softly Hunter Nagisa placed a pillow under the head of his younger counterpart
"Hey" Hunter Kaede said as she knocked on the door
"Yeah?" Heroic Kaede asked as she was undoing her green and white checker bra
"I figured you could borrow some clothes while I wash yours" Hunter Kaede said opening the bathroom door to hand the spare clothes to Heroic Kaede
"You still have clothes from when you were my age?" Heroic Kaede asked
"Yeah, I figured they would come in handy" Hunter Kaede said as Heroic Kaede looked at them
"Wait isn't this the outfit from the summer field trip?" Heroic Kaede asked holding up a yellow shirt
"Yeah it is" Hunter Kaede said "I take it you had to deal with Takaoka as well?"
"No kidding, he's a pain" Heroic Kaede said "Especially when he came back as Taskmaster"
"He became Taskmaster?" Hunter Kaede asked
"Yeah, though my Yada dealt with him alongside her cousin" Heroic Kaede said as she removed her skirt "Never did hear how though"
"I see, well I'll leave you to it" Hunter Kaede said as she walked out of the room and closed the door.
"So what are the other AR codes?" Arsenal asked
"AR codes?" Green Lantern asked as she and Songbird
"Yeah, in these books there are certain models that have AR codes that hide secrets" Arsenal said
"The first one we found is on this picture" Flash said showing them the picture of Kataoka making the two blush "Was something called Pojrect Mania"
"Like the Symbiote clone?" Songbird asked
"Yeah, leading us to believe he's trying to make human-symbiote hybrids" Arsenal said
"Or at least perfect hosts for the symbiotes" Flash stated
"Okay, any reason why its Kataoka?" Songbird asked
"No, in fact the other seven feature: Kanzaki, Fuwa, Kayano, a female version of Nagisa who is he's sister who took his name, Okano, Nakamura and you" Arsenal listed
"Me?" Green Lantern asked surprised
"Should I be insulted or not?" Songbird glared
"Don't worry I'm sure you're in one of them" Flash said pecking her cheek
"So what is the next AR Code?" Green Lantern asked
"We're looking at it now" Flash said placing the Kanzaki picture, which was Kanzaki wearing a yellow bikini with turquoise fills and a wrap around her waist looking graceful. After two minutes the code appeared
"I recognise this" Arsenal said
"What is it?" Songbird questioned
"Plans to the Satomi" Heroic Itona said as he walked over while wiping the sweat off of his brow
"Where are you been?" Arsenal asked
"Tuning up my armour a bit, I noticed the flight jets were slower than usual. Now why would the Satomi be featured?" Songbird asked
"Hang on, look here!" Green Lantern gasped
"What is that?" Songbird asked
"I have only heard of those before, it's a stasis drive!" Green Lantern gasped
"But why would these plans for the Satomi has that on board?" Flash asked
"I can think of only one thing; prisoner transport" Green Lantern frowned
"Or a medical emergency" Songbird stated
"Okay Fuwa next" Arsenal said as he switched book, this picture of Fuwa had her wearing a light purple string bikini with black trim. Soon the AR Cede showed up displaying
"Beer?" the girls quizzically asked
"A recipe for beer, that doesn't make sense, Fuwa doesn't drink" Arsenal said
"Check it again, it encrypted to look like a recipe for beer" Flash said
"I'll decode it later" Ritsu said
"Alright Kaede next" Arsenal said as Green Lantern changed the book
Heroic Nagisa groaned as he started to wake up
"Hey" a voice said making Heroic Nagisa sit up and look to see Sakura sitting at the coffee table working on her homework
"Hey Sakura" Heroic Nagisa said "I thought you were mentored at the library"
"I usually am, but I wanted to meet you today" Sakura shrugged sitting back
"Oh cool" Heroic Nagisa smiled, he sighed "So what did you want to know?" he asked
"Am I your student in your world/Universe/dimension thing?" Sakura asked
"No, you're not" Heroic Nagisa said making Sakura becoming depressed a bit "You're much more then that"
"What do you mean?" Sakura asked tilting her head in slight confusion
"Well you see, in my world you are my adopted little sister" Heroic Nagisa said making Sakura surprised
"How did that happen?!" Sakura exclaimed
"Due to a terrible incident on my world, you lost your parents, and mine well they knew how fond of you I was" Heroic Nagisa said
"I see" Sakura blushed smiling
"Now need some help?" Heroic Nagisa asked
"Sure, bro" Sakura cheekily said before Heroic Nagisa ruffled her hair.
"So we got the genetic profiles for Mania and something called Anti-venom from the Kataoka and Nagisa pictures" Songbird said
"The Satomi with the stasis drive from Kanzaki, that weird hidden recipe from Fuwa" Flash said
"From Kaede's pic we got a high calorie pudding recipe meant for those with tentacles, from Nakamura we have the blueprints for a handheld energy shield" Green Lantern said
"And from Okano we got the procedure to make Pym Particles and from Hinano we get" Arsenal said as he examined the AR Code before going wide eyed
"What is it?" Green Lantern asked shocked before seeing what the code was
"We need the others" Songbird said amazed
"But how, how did he figure this all out?" Arsenal asked
"Hey guys you down there?" John asked
"Yeah" Arsenal shouted back
"You find anything?" John asked
"Only a manual on how to properly work the Protomatter portals and the existence of a white portal" Arsenal stated
"Where does the white portal lead?" John asked
"If my theory is correct, then the white Protomatter portal will lead to somewhere we can access all of the infinite worlds of the multiverse, even its centre!" Flash said
"And how hard is it to make this white portal?" John asked concerned
"You need a special type of protomatter dubbed Pearl Protomatter which is the rarest of all the protomatter, only existing in a few places in the multiverse, most of which can't be reached through the normal eight bands of Protomatter gates" Flash explain
"Making it tougher to reach the centre and screw around with all worlds" John said before he frowned "Imagine what Shiro could do with his hands on all of this information"
"Nothing good" Flash said before the sound of a ringing phone cut the tension
"Come on John, pick up, pick up, pick up" Toka panicked having met up with Hinata and Manami
"Who are these guys?" Hinata asked
"Members of Henry's Wolfpack?" Manami asked
"No they're not" Toka said
"Who cares" Hinata cried out as they were cornered
"Say, aren't you those bounty hunter chicks?" their leader said looking thme up and down
"So what if we are" Hinata snapped
"Man you be some fine girls, why don't you join us for some drinks" the leader said
"And if we say no?" Manami asked
"We don't think you're going to turn us down" he smirked placing a hunting knife to Toka's jugular vein "Now shall we?" he asked
"Hey boss" a grunt said taking Toka's phone
"Who is this?" the boss asked
"I'm John Bertand, and you are speaking with my wife's phone" John said
"You see we heard of you from our bosses" the leader said "We're a part of the five headed serpents"
"The serpents, yeah they better hope we don't find them" John said
"Adios" The pack leader said hanging up and dropping the phone while a black Chevrolet Tahoe backed up to them, the pack leader pulled out a gun and pulled the slide back "Get in"
"You heard him girls" Toka said as they got in the back, the pack leader slapping Hinata's ass making her growl out before the gun was pointed at her. What they didn't know was that someone was watching them from the under hood of his black and yellow hoodie
"I'm going to kill them" John seethed
"What's going on?" Agent Venom said as he and Nagisa walked into the based
"The five headed serpents have Toka" John said
"The who?" Agent Venom said
"A new gang on the block, rumours are they're working for our old friends the big five"
"Those assholes?" everyone there asked
"Yeah" John nodded
"So how are we going to find them?" Songbird asked
"Even though Toka's phone was dumped I traced the phone of the other girls to this area here" Ritsu said s she showed where Hinata and Manami's phones were. "It appears to be some kind of chop shop"
"Let's go then" Wasp said
"We can't, we don't know what we'll be walking into" Ant-Man said
"But we have to save them!" Wasp exclaimed.
"We know, but it could be dangerous" Agent Venom said
"Well then I'll go in" Wasp said
"No, it's still too risky" John snapped
"Then what are we going to do?" Songbird asked concerned as Flash comforted her
"Man I wish some of the others were here" Agent Venom said frowning.
At the chop shop, the man in the hood looked around, seeing no one he reached out grasping the padlock. Making sure no one was around he pulled the lock off and then pushed the chain gate off, looking around he didn't hear anything so he rushed in and crouched down behind some crushed cars and listened to see if he could hear any dogs or people wandering around the yard close to him, after a few seconds indicating it was clear he strode forth
"Get down bitch" he heard a thug say as the figure watched the thug throw their hostages of a pile of mattresses while chained up, once the thug left the figure walked over to the girls
"What do you want?" Hinata said spat out as the figure just gripped the chains and pulled, breaking the lock holding them together. Once they were free the three women stood up
"Okay who are you?" Toka asked
"A friend" he said
"HEY!" a gang member said pulling out a gun
"Do you mind?" the figure said as he pulled off his hoodie and shirt before handing them to Toka, who along with the other two there were blushing at the sight of someone who looked like Taisei Yoshida
"My word" Hinata said fanning herself.
"Girls remember we're taken" Toka said
"Doesn't me we can't look" Manami said shrugging
Taisei walked through the junkyard
"YO HOMIE!" a voice called out as the leader of the group who kidnapped the girls appeared "You lost?" he asked
"Nah man, I'm right where I'm supposed to be": Taisei said
"Well you be looking lost to me" he said
"So?" Taisei asked he asked before he walked forward
"Your funeral, OPEN FIRE!" the pack leader ordered as everyone gathered there unleashed a hailstorm of bullets. Taisei stood still as the bullets simply bounced off of him, glaring at the shooters as he walked forward. One of the thugs tried to get up close, leading to his gun being snatched by Taisei and broken in half before they were flung into two more shooters
"ASSHOLE!" a different shooter said blasting Taisei with a shotgun
"You do realise what's going to happen now right?" Taisei asked snatching the shotgun then tying it into a knot.
"What the?" the shotgun user was about to say before Taisei knocked him out
"No swearing" he said as he looked around
"RELOAD!" the group leader shouted as his men quickly reloaded, only to look up and see a massive V8 engine coming towards several of them "Enough of this shit, drop the truck" he shouted as a crane moved its load over top of Taisei and let go of what it was holding, which was a 2018 Dodge Ram. Looking up Taisei rolled his eyes as he caught the truck and placed it down, then he looked over and saw another V8 engine, this one had the gearbox still attached. Picking it up Taisei smirked and swung the engine around like a club making those in his path duck for cover
"Asshole" the group leader said as the engine landed right next to him, "Shit" he muttered he ran around
"Looks like he's one of Koh's men alright" Taisei said as he followed the leader
"What are you doing up here, Viper?" Kohyama asked as the group leader ran into an office "You're supposed to be doing your job!"
"Well I hate to say it boss, but some bulletproof Bastard is wrecking the entire shop" Viper said
"What are you talking about, have you been into the hallucinogenics again?" Kohyama asked before the door to his office was splintered
"Oh crap, its him!" Viper shouted diving for cover as Taisei walked in
"So you're the supposed 'Bulletproof bastard?' my men must have the shittiest aim" Kohyama laughed as he pulled out a snub nosed revolver and pulled the hammer back before firing it at Taisei, only for the bullets to turn into coins and drop to the ground "Then again"
"I dealt with someone like you before, and you want to know how I dealt with him?" Taisei asked
"How" Kohyama quivered
"You wouldn't believe me even if I told you" Taisei said grabbing the revolver out of Kohyama's hands and pancaking it.
"Mercy?" Kohyama whimpered
"Sure" Taisei said smirking
"YOU ASSHOLE!" Kohyama said as he was stuffed in an oil barrel
"Quit swearing" Taisei said as he walked off, noticing a car that was about to be crash. Walking over he could help but admire the yellow 1969 Ford Mustang Mach 1 GT. Nodding he got in the car and found the keys were under the visor.
"HEY!" Hinata shout as the three woman raced over to him, Hinata stepping on a few of the gang members on the way to him "Here you go" she said holding out his shirt and hoodie
"Cheers" he said putting them back on "Now what in the name of Sweet Christmas is going on here and where am I?" Taisei asked frowning
"We'll explain once we get back to our base" Toka said
"Okay" Taisei said.
G'day Guys Grizz here so while this may be just a bunch of random thing, it kind of is since there are couple of things I wanted to with this chapter, that was showing a different Shiro then the one that kicked this off, meeting the Hunter Classroom version of Kayano, Agent Venom meeting Hunter Classroom Sakura, the fact that there is a multiverse out there including that the canon version is at the centre and the introduction of another Dark Heroic character this one being Taisei Yoshida who has the power set of Luke Cage and of course I'm bringing over his 'no swearing' quirk over from his main fic. Plus those AR codes could lead into something in the future but that would be a spoiler
So until next time I'll catch you on the flipside
