"I'm going to rip them all to pieces!" John snarled out loud
"Easy John we don't know what we'll be facing" Nagisa said
"We could go in and find out" Wasp said
"Yeah, but we could be heading into an ambush" War Machine said
"Hey guys" Ritsu piped up
"Look this is an unknown situation we're walking into here" Flash spoke up
"And if we do nothing we will have lost them" John barked
"Lost who?" Toka asked walking into the base with Hinata and Manami
"TOKA!" John lovingly exclaimed pulling Toka in the mightiest hug he could muster, it was the sort of hug one might give to a loved one they thought was dead, then John started to rapidly kiss Toka's cheek making her giggle "I was so worried" he said tearing up
"I'm sorry that you felt that way, but I'm alright now" Toka gently said holding John
"So who saved you?" Agent Venom said
"I did" Taisei said
"No way" Flash gasped
"What are you doing here?" Arsenal asked
"You know this guy?" John asked
"Yeah, he's from a world where most of class-E became dark heroes" Agent Venom said
"How so?" Toka asked
"Various ways, but I was blinded by molten anti-matter left over from when Korosensei exploded" Agent Venom explained
"I somehow became Ghost Rider" Flash said
"I'm a stripper there" Green Lantern said making the Hunters look shocked "Yeah, not thrilled about that"
"Isogai had his family killed in a mob hit, Maehara was caught in a terrorist attack and was revived, Fuwa was a victim of the worse kind of assault on a woman" Taisei said making the girls flinch and the guys angered. "Hara was put into a coma, Nakamura was placed in a mental hospital for awhile, Suguya lost an arm, Okano had her hips shattered, Kayano was thought dead, Takebayashi had his hands destroyed" Taisei said
"Was there anything good about your world?" John asked
"Kataoka's swimsuit model, Sugino went pro, Okajima became a journalist and I'm pretty sure Mimura is doing something with the media" Taisei said.
"Okay" Toka said
"So how did you get here?" Agent Venom said
"I was working on something with Takebayashi when a cyan portal showed up, thinking it was safe I walked through to see what was on the other side even though the doc didn't think it would be a wise decision" Taisei explained
"So which Protomatter world are you from?" Toka asked getting a Dimensional frequency scan and went over to the map to have a look at it "So you're from the world accessible by the orange band of Protomatter"
"Proto-what now?" Taisei asked
"It's a unique substance that can create portals bridging two different alternate dimensions together" Agent Venom explained
"So sort of like the doc's portals" Taisei said
"If he's anything like Dr Strange then you're correct" Thor said
"Not to mention we have a Yanagisawa dressed in black inhabiting some lab looking at weird genetic stuff, which quite frankly that is one Yanagisawa too many" Taisei said
"Agreed, which is why we're here. You see we killed the one in our dimension twice and then while we were studying the black clad Yanagisawa" Songbird started
"Who we're calling Kuro" Flash interrupted
"Fine then, Kuro appeared and then ran away so this small group tracked him down to this world which turns out to be a Nexus Point" Songbird said
"Which is?" Taisei asked
"Basically there are hubs for different dimensions or realities, we haven't worked thing out that far yet" Flash said
"Interesting, Doc calls it the Multiverse Network or something like that and that these 'Nexus points' are something like 'trans-dimensional channels where different aspects of the multivere are able to be accessed from, though I think he was dumbing it down for me" Taisei said
"I think he was" John said before Toka playfully slapped him
"Anyway we need to find out what 'Kuro' is up to, I don't like the fact that there is a Yanagisawa walking around free with who knows what information" Agent venom said
"And then there's the Shiro I encountered" Flash said
"Shiro, did he look different from the one you knew in your world?" John asked as Toka shivered slightly
"I'm not sure, but he did look more samurai-ish then I remember" Flash said
"Then that must be the Shiro from my world" Taisei said
"He isn't dead" John said
"No, before they could finish him off the Hand took him away to be healed, and we haven't that bastard since" Taisei said
"It's nearly there" Kuro said as he looked over at the sleeping Masaru. "To think I'm close to ending this plague" he said looking at a picture of his beloved "But at what moral cost?"
"A great one" Shiro said appearing suddenly making Kuro jump up "I'm sorry for spooking you, but I wanted to talk"
"Why should I trust you, after all one of your counterparts started something that could end everything" Kuro said
"Our Counterparts you mean" Shiro said
"Whatever, all I know is that I'm the only one trying to fix things!" Kuro said
"Fix things?" Shiro asked
"Yes, I didn't do what you did for money, it was because of something I wanted to stop!" Kuro shouted
"I see, so you didn't perform the anti-matter experiment for cash like the rest of us, so what was it for?" Shiro asked
"You will never know" Kuro hissed before Shrio disappeared into the shadows
"I will find out what you are hiding" Shiro said "And why you have taken that child"
"Those you will never know" Kuro said as he turned to his research. "Not now not ever" he sighed as he looked at the ceiling.
"So how are we going to find these dudes?" Taisei asked as he was munching on some Takoyaki from the bar Maehara owned
"I'm not sure" Agent Venom said
"This is a bit too surreal for me" Maehara said
"You're telling me" Ant-Man said
"So what's the plan?" Wasp asked
"They're still trying to come up with one" Maehara said "Where you go some sticky pork rib Gyouza, it's a new recipe I'm trying out" he declraed
"Thank you" the pair said before the looked away from each other
"So have you ever" Ant-Man started
"Thought about the future?" Wasp replied "A little"
"Should we?" Ant-Man asked
"I don't know, all I know is that Fuwa and Mimura were the first to" Wasp hesitated "You know"
"Yeah" Ant-Man said "But should we be talking about this here?"
"Why not its technically your bar, now if you'll excuse me" Wasp said walking away, to what appears to be the ladies room
"You okay?" Hunter Maehara said
"Just thinking about something" Ant-Man said trying another piece of Gyoza
"If it's your future with her, don't let her go" Maehara said "Trust me, that woman no matter what world you are is a treasure, especially to us, we could date and sleep with every women in our worlds but none will be like her, we need someone to keep us in line" he said
"But what if I do something that will" Ant-Man started to ask
"There is nothing you can do" Maehara said "that won't be unforgivable by her. Trust me I probably used up every single second chance I had with her, and she still said I do when asked if she was going to become my lawfully wedded wife"
"I see, but she might be different from your Okano, plus I didn't exactly date around as much as you probably did. I started dating her close to my arrival to Class-E" Ant-Man said
"Then you're a luckier man then I. It took me to the Valentine's day before Korosensei died to come to that realisation, even then it took me longer to act on my feelings" Maehara sighed
"Sorry to hear that" Ant-Man said
"It's alright" Maehara said before the sound of shattering glass was heard
"Hey mama, come play with a real man" a poser said as he grabbed the ass of a waitress after flipping her skirt
"Hey man" Taisei said coming up to them
"What do you want, you pansy ass bitch?" the poser said, only to be smacked to the ground
"First, no swearing, second only place your hands on a lady if they say you can" Taisei said "Got that" he glared at the man "You alright?"
"Yes sir" the waitress said
"Damn bastard" the poser said pulling out a gun and shooting Taisei in the back
"Idiot" Taisei muttered grabbing the poser's gun, turning it into a pretzel and then smacking him back down "And what did I say about swearing?"
"Not to" the poser groaned
"Good" Taisei said grabbing the poser's shirt and throwing him out of the bar
"And stay out!" Maehara shouted "Thanks"
"No problem" Taisei said going over to a table.
"That was cool" Ant-Man said
"You okay?" Toka asked as she stood next to Wasp who was washing her face in the bathroom sinks
"Yeah, just confused about something" Wasp said
"Which is?" Toka asked
"Whether or not I should...do a certain activity with my Hiroto" Wasp said
"I suggest you wait until you feel like you're ready for that and once you are see where it takes you" Toka said acting as an older sister to the younger Okano "But don't rush into things"
"Sure" Wasp smiled before seeing Toka look down "Hey, we'll rescue him okay?"
"Yeah I'm just worried that this Kuro Yanagisawa will do something to him" Toka frowned
"We won't let him okay?" Wasp said hugging the older Yada.
"Okay" she said softly
"Hey" Songbird ran in "You've got a situation" she said making Toka bolt out into the main area.
Elsewhere in the city a shadow was running over the rooftops, looking around the runner checked his wrist computer as it displayed a holographic map
"I'm close" he said as he looked through a skylight. He frowned as he spied a box with the logo of Wayne Industries, he opened the skylight and jumped down before turning to the box "This is it" he said pulling out his phone and connecting it to the box
"Are you sure about this?" a digitised sounding voice asked
"No, but if these I40T actually came to our world and stole something I want to know what is was" the runner said "Besides they could be linked to that Shiro that the other group ran after"
"Got it" the digital voice chirped "But why did you come to this world yourself Isogai?" Ritsu asked
"I don't know, juts a feeling" Isogai said as Ritsu undid the locks on the box
"Especially without your suit" Ritsu said
"Yeah that was an oversight" Isogai said as the box opened to reveal something neither of them were expected. "Is that?" he asked seeing a different Batsuit then the one he was wearing. The most noticeable differences were that it had a collar and spikes held in a forearm holster
"Yes, the batsuit that Bruce Wayne wore during his second year, right around the time the Riddle first time" Ritsu explained
"I heard about those" Isogai said as he picked up the cowl
"I've examined the suit and I have to say even though it looks old its filled with the same level of tech as your current Batsuit, maybe even a bit more advanced" Ritsu stated "So what are you going to do?" Ritsu asked before they heard footsteps
"I'm going to have to suit up quickly" Isogai panicked as he started to put the suit on
"I'm reading 9 heat signatures" Ritsu declared
"Let's get ready" he said pulling out a batarang and stood next to the door
"Two new heat signatures detected, one on the opposite roof, one in the hallway behind the original nine" Ritsu informed Batman
"Let's do this" Batman said.
Once the first few thugs entered they looked around seeing nothing but the empty box when the last one in was grabbed by Batman and had his knee slammed into him before throwing him into two more of the attackers before he went up to the first one who entered the room and stomped on the back of his knee leading into an elbow to the face, he then grabbed the blades that formed the bat-symbol on the suit and flicked them around to hold them in an under arm grip and jammed a knife into a slide of one of the guns the thieves were using, and broke the slide off the gun grabbing said slide and throwing it into another thief who recoiled straight into a wall firing at the roof. Turning around Batman swept the legs of two more thieves while one tried to fire at him, only to be shot in the neck with a dart knocking him out surprising Batman who looked through the window
"Ritsu" he said
"I'm on it" Ritsu acknowledged as the final thief ran up to Batman, who simple punched him in the face to knock him out
"Who are these guys?" Batman asked removing the cowl as gunshots were heard, before becoming quiet "what was that?"
"I don't know" Ritsu admitted
"HUNTER CLASSROOM FREEZE!" A voice familiar to Isogai
"Meg?" Isogai asked
"Yuma" Megu asked who looked like she was older smiled and ran over to him, kissing him on the lips before she realised something, he raised her gun and chambered around "Who are you?" she asked
"What do you mean?" Isogai asked subtly going for a batarang
"I mean, why do you look like my husband?" Megu asked
"Because technically I am your husband" Isogai said
"What do you mean technically?" Megu asked
"I'm a Yuma Isogai from a different world, I was sent here to secure that after it was stolen by these men" Isogai said
"A batman costume?" Megu asked
"One of the very first Batman suits, though it's been upgraded" Isogai said
"I see" Megu stated "Sorry"
"It's alright" Isogai said before a bright orange light lit up the room.
"Now it is here, where I'll find it" Kuro said stepping out shocking the two "After I have the catalytic stabilizer then I can continue. I just hope they aren't getting nervous" he muttered before he heard a gun being armed, turning around he was shocked to see the two members of Class-E there, but he also realised that one of them were not from this world
"What are you doing here?" Megu asked
"He shouldn't be here, and you were suppose to just grab the I40T" Kuro said
"And you know that how?" Isogai asked
"I just do, anyway I need that cube" Kuro said
"Why?" Megu asked
"To help me from preventing more of the Reaper 2.0 for appearing" Kuro said
"What?" Isogai asked
"You're bluffing" Megu swallowed her nerves
"Reaper 2.0?" Isogai asked
"You never faced that monster, the one that caused us to mercy-kill Korosensei?" Megu asked
"No, whatever our Shiro was planning with this 'Reaper 2.0' was blown up by a SHIELD Agent" Isogai said
"Intriguing" Kuro hummed
"Anyway what is this Catalytic stabilizer do?" Megu asked as Kuro grabbed the cube
"It will help in preventing the breakdown of the key to my project" Kuro said before an orange gate opened behind him
"NO!" Megu shouted firing at him making him drop something while he jumped in the portal. Once it closed Megu growled before kicking a Thief "That bastard got away!"
"But he dropped something" Isogai asked picking up what he dropped which was a piece of paper and upon reading what was on it Isogai's eyes widen
"What's wrong?" Megu asked
"We have to move now" Isogai panicked pulling the cowl back on and rushing off
"What why?" Megu asked
"What's going on?" John asked as Megu Isogai and Batman were in his bar
"Isogai?" Agent Venom asked as he walked over to his friend
"Sorry, but I was recovering this suit when I encounter the I40T who stole this suit and brought it to this world and then" Isogai said
"We encountered the Yanagisawa that started all of this" Megu said "I shot at him before he fled"
"Please tell me you injured him" John said "since he has Masaru"
"What?" Megu asked
"No, but he did drop something else" Batman said handing a piece of paper to Agent Venom
"What is it?" Toka asked
"A list of some kind, TY Purple, KK Green, HO Yellow, MK Blue, YF Orange, RN White, YK Brown, RH Cyan, HK Red" Agent Venom read out getting a feeling of dread from his symbiote
"What could they be?" Toka asked
"I'm not sure, but I'm getting a feeling of Dread about these from my symbiote" Agent venom said
"Plus I think we know where he is" Batman said
"Where?" John asked
"My world isn't he?" Taisei asked
"Yeah, orange" Megu said
"You got a way to get there?" Taisei asked
"Think we can configure a portal gun to use Protomatter?" Agent Venom asked
"Maybe" John said "But we need a team"
"Safe to say that my team will go" Agent Venom said
"I'm going back as well since its home" Taisei said
"I'm going to get my son back" Toka snapped
"We'll come to" Nagisa said as he and Hiroto walked over
"Good to hear, get Taiga as well maybe even Kotaro, I don't want to leave anything to chance" John said.
A couple of hours later the team that was chosen lined up outside the based
"Are you sure you guys should be doing this?" Hunter Kaede asked
"No, but we have to" John said
"What he said' Agent venom agreed
"Alright, but be careful okay guys?" Hunter Kaede said
"We will, War Machine?" Agent venom asked
"Yes sir" War Machine said "Scanning the paper gave us a location, so we should be right near the lab"
"Sounds good, let's go!" Agent Venom said as a bright orange portal opened up
"MOVE OUT!" John ordered as the team moved out.
"Good luck" Kaede said worried
Soon out of a cyan portal stepped Agent Venom's team, John, Toka, Nagisa, Hiroto, Kotaro, Taiga and the Yoshida of this world. Upon the portal's closure they looked around the space they were in
"Reminds me of the Europa complex" Agent Venom said
"No way" Nagisa said as he looked around
"I'm detecting a massive subbasement" War Machine said
"Where's Masaru?" Toka asked
"I'm not sure" War Machine said
"Hang on" Songbird said unleashing a sonar wave to try and find the baby, but she frowned "There's someone outside"
"Where?" Agent Venom asked
"I think I know who it would be" Taisei said
"Who?" Nagisa asked
"You" Taisei said "Or at least this world's version"
"Good to know" Nagisa said
"I suggest we split into two groups. Flash, Arsenal, Thor Ant-Man, Batman and Nagisa come with me to check out the hidden lab
"So Toka, Songbird, Green Lantern, Kotaro, Hiroto, Meg and I will try and find Masaru" John said
"Let's hope we don't find something bad" Kotaro said as Taisei punched him
"No jinxing" Taisei said
"So can you hear him?" Toka asked
"Give me a second" Songbird said
"I'll take a look as well" Green Lantern said
"Thank you" Toka said
"He could be anywhere in the building" Maehara said
"He has to be" Toka said.
"I'm getting something, but its faint" Green Lantern said
"Same here top floor" Songbird said making Toka run
"Masaru!" she exclaimed as she raced up the stair with Maehara, Megu, Kotaro and John
"Wait, that's not" Green Lantern said before they all saw Shiro rocking Masaru to sleep
"Sssh, you'll wake the baby" Shiro said
"Shiro" John seethed
"Okay what is down here?" Agent Venom asked
"I'm not sure" Arsenal said
"Be careful guys" Batman said
"Flash?" Agent Venom asked
"Got it" Flash nodded speeding off before coming back "You got to see what I found" he grimaced making the rest of the group concerned
"Where?" Batman asked
"Over there" Flash nervously said as the group moved to where Flash pointed out and what they saw was shocking
"What the hell is this?" Nagisa asked
"Are those humans?" Batman gasped
"Yeah, and I was able to get a look at their profiles. Their names are: Kasumi, Tsubasa, Kanada, Umi, Fuyumi, Hotaru, Toru, Miki and Hikari" Flash said
"Okay, so?" Nagisa asked feeling creeped out "They're what about your age?"
"I think so" Agent Venom said
"Question, who are they" Arsenal said before the uneasiness in Agent Venom arose, looking around he saw nine canisters filled with different coloured slime making Agent Venom panic
'Are those?' Heroic Nagisa mentally asked
'Agony, Lasher, Scream, Riot, Phage the last four I do not recognise' the symbiote stated
"Flash please tell you can find out what is in those tubes" Agent venom said
"I'll check" Flash said
"You seem nervous" Arsenal said
"I couldn't disagree with that assessment" Batman frowned
"Call it a hunch" Agent Venom said frowning.
"Got something" Ant-Man said "And you're not going to believe it"
"What is it?" Nagisa asked
"I've got a directory of DNA" Ant-Man said
"And why won't we believe that?" Batman asked
"Because there nine entities in here, but there are ten different sequences" Ant-Man said
"Meaning?" Agent Venom said
"That those nine...clones for lack of a better term are sisters sharing a father" Ant-Man said
"Who are they clones of?" Arsenal asked
"Kasumi Yada, Tsubasa Kayano, Kanade Okano, Umi Kataoka, Fuyumi Fuwa, Hotaru Nakamura, Setsuna Kanzaki, Miki Hayami and Hikari Kurahashi" Ant-Man read out
"And who's the father?" Nagisa asked
"Nagisa Shiota" Ant-Man said shocking the two Nagisa
"What" the gasped before the sound of shattering glass drew their attention
"Give me my son" John growled as Toka was now nervous
"I don't think so" Shiro said
"So we look like we're playing games Shiro?" Songbird asked
"Because all of us can defeat you and return that baby to his rightful parents behind us" Green Lantern said
"Oh but can you defeat them?" Shiro asked as dozens of red clad ninja burst through the windows glaring at the small group of heroes and bounty hunters
"Who are these guys?" John asked
"The Hand" Taisei said
"So you are one of those affected by the monster dying. I will look forward to dissect you" Shiro said with a slight sadistic glee
"If you can" Taisei said looking around smiling
"What are you so happy about?" Shiro asked before arrows and bullets started to fly through the broken windows
"Oh just us" a voice said wrapping something around the neck of Shiro "You didn't think we wouldn't find out you were healed by Kirigi?"
"Daredevil" Shiro said as he glared as several heroes were now in the room
"Hello Shiro" Daredevil smirked. "Miss us?
G'day Guys Grizz here wow what a chapter! I bet no one was expecting that at all, well maybe me but the fact (a) Nagisa is a dad and his has seven daughters X-23 style with the girls of Class-E was something I thought of for a potential ACH meets their children fic which I'll do one day not sure when thought. So the Dark Heroics Shiro is going to be fighting the teams and the Dark Heroes themselves have shown up. On top of that we have Kuro Yanagisawa trying to save someone's live! bet that was a plot twist no one expected to see! just wait to see here that goes
So until next time I'll catch you on the flipside.
