There be some gore here, be careful
The Realm of Gaps, the world that Yukari created and was now currently riding a train through with a few others with her. The darkness outside the windows, illuminated by many eyes, searching everywhere at once and at nothing at the same time. A mysterious giant in the pure blackness, shapeless and featureless watched the train flow by.
Yukari simply sat on the train before sighing and looking over at the person next to him. " Snake, tell me, am I odd for being this emotional when i should not be?"
Snake simply takes a heavy drag of his cig before looking at Yukari from the corner of his eye. " From, what you have told me, you Youkai are born of the fears of mankind and feast off of said fear, correct?" Snake asked as Yukari nodded.
" We can also subside on magic as well but that is not the point here, where are you-"
" You were born of mankind's fears, but its likely that it was not the only thing you got from them, being so closely entwined with humanity has given you things like emotions and free will, things you should never look down at receiving." Snake simply looks at the many eyes searching for where Ziden was taken.
"..." Yukari simply remains quiet.
" Your closeness with humanity has given you boons and curses like what you are feeling right now, the emotion a woman feels when someone they care for is in danger constantly. I would not say your emotions are bad, it just means that you are no so different from humans to be able to feel the way you do." Snake softly taps his cig, letting the ash hit the floor of the train.
" I see, so, I should not deny these emotions..." Yukari thinks for a moment.
" correct, embrace em Yukari or you will remain the way you are, suffering at your conflicting emotions, embracing them will make you better. You may not be human but you gain a boon most creatures on this planet do not. Intelligence and emotions." Snake answered while Yukari chuckled.
" To think, I would be getting advice from someone so much younger than me...thanks Snake. I know what do now." Yukari nods while crossing her legs under her dress, her swagger slowly returning as Yuuka was softly tapping her feet.
" Closeness to humanity huh...how nice. Never thought of it that way." Yuuka said as Tsukasa was simply looking at the eyes all focusing on a single location.
" There, found him, lets go save our jackass leader." Yukari said, a massive gap opening up, leading to the Imperial Palace of Japan.
Meanwhile...
Ziden was back in that black void, the one he was honestly annoyed with seeing it being so barren, they really needed to spruce it up, but there was no Komachi here, none at all. " I see...did Bison's forces get to her too?" Ziden said, looking down and seeing a tuft redhair below him.
He looks down a bit more only to see the sleeping face of Komachi under him before stopping to the side and kicking her right in the chest." GAH! MY BOOB!" And she shoots right up and holds her chest, staring up at Ziden before blinking. " Holy hell! You're alive!"
" Yes yes, I didn't die, that was the past me." Ziden nods at this while staring Komachi as his body was flickering.
" Ah, good, then uh, imma find you when you revive, join up with ya, I kinda don't have anything to do since the Boss' workplace is clogged up." Komachi said while tapping his head. " Thinking someone is trying to turn you into a Jiang-Shi there buddy."
" REally? How can ya tell?" Ziden tilts his head before a slip appeared in his line of vision.
" That there, don't worry, I can snatch ya back to life if-"
" Don't worry about it, when my body revives, I'll be back to normal." Ziden said as Yuyuko as a pink ghost blob was floating around him.
" I see, well, I'll be to you in a literal minute, so, see ya." And she shoved him hard with her scythe butt, Ziden feeling his body flying into the distance.
Back in the Living world...
The blue dressed woman was looking at her newest Jiang Shi while smiling. " Now this is perfect, with this, I have myself the ultimate Shinigami killer right here! I can live in complete and utter pea-"
She was cut right off by Ziden's soul returning into his body and soon causing an explosion of fire into the room, blasting her right into the hallway, the male's body absurdly stiff as he began to violently shake and crack, the tag on his face burning right off as he slowly comes to. " GEh...I hate that feeling." Ziden said while bouncing up and down, getting his blood flowing before leaping out of the room.
" Hmm, it seems that we are quite alive and in a basement of sorts, should we find a way out?" Yuyuko asked while yawning and taking a human form.
Ziden began to walk through the halls, his nose for treasure strong before kicking a door down and entering it and looking around before finding an odd item, a red and black sword handle in a case, likely found from when the Emperor would find neat items all around the world. The male's eyes scanning it. " Sword of Mars?" Ziden read the plackard on the case before breaking the glass and taking the sword, finding it would not work.
" The planet? Odd, well, I normally do not abide stealing but, keep it, it may be important later."Yuyuko said as Ziden sticks it into his jacket and soon heads off from the area and making his way out, seems there not much here in the place of treasure, soon reaching into the main hallways. " This place is quite big."
" This is the Emperor's Palace after all, it should be rather big." Ziden said while walking through the area and seeing his clothes still rather messed up and reddish before they reverted back to normal. "Huh, neat." Ziden said before pushing open a door and entering the main throne room, being greeted by a familiar voice.
" Ah, Seiga did tell me that she caught someone of interest in the area she was scouting out, I assumed that it would have been you." It was Miko, her purple cape wild as she stood atop the steps to her throne, the woman smiling down at Ziden.
" Ah, was not expecting you to be here." Ziden said while looking at her, noticing a woman in green near the door and a woman in white and blue as well. " I assume that-"
" Know of the rebellion efforts you are putting up. Yes, and we are willing to aid you, under a condition of course." Miko softly leans forward and smiles at ziden but he got the feeling that smile was not friendly.
" And what is that condition?" Ziden asked, staring at the woman before she grins.
" We will lend our aid to you if you decide to become a Taoist." Miko says with that friendly grin before Ziden grimaced.
" Seriously?! Your home literally got destroyed and countless dead and you are still trying to push me into your religious crap!?" Ziden swings his arm at this while the woman in the back, Futo scoffed.
" Foolish child thou art. Our fine Crown prince desires you to join so that thy followers will have a beacon of hope to turn to fully. If thou joinst us, the people would know that thou side with their fellow humans. This is a tasteful proposition for thou, as much as it is for the Crown Prince." Futo simply stares at the man, explaining their reasoning.
" Sounds like crap to me, more foothold for your stupid religious battles you guys keep trying to drag me into." Ziden said while turning his back and soon feeling a blade to his neck by Miko.
" Unfortunately, we have no plans of letting you leave without joining our folds, Mister Icrim. You are still weakened from Omega, not able to fight us off, so will you not join us?" Miko asked, Ziden grimacing hard before sensing something smashing into the room and devastating it heavily, a giant train now in the middle of the room, having torn up through the floor as Yukari and Yuuka were seen coming out of the wreckage.
" Honestly, let you types run free and you immediately prey on someone. You're worse than Youkai sometimes." Yukari was seen floating down to Ziden and seeing Miko backing away, holding a calm face still.
" Wonderful timing, though a train is a bit much?" Ziden asked while seeing a pair of arms around Futo's throat and a scythe blade at the green woman's neck. Seems Snake and Komachi made their move.
" All, I was doing was securing a way for the Human village to be secure and hope filled." Miko tried to argue before Yukari simply smirks.
" Right, we all know that over the past few months, people have been getting more and more scared of the things going on, the Youkai that aided us in those battles were forced to leave and you simply wanted a human beacon of hope that they know well, all while getting a deep foothold into it and gain alot more Taoists of his fans." Yukari stated while Miko simply shifts. " A shady but effective practice. The humans learn he is a taoist and they flock to your Town based temple."
" W-well." Her calm facade was breaking but before Yukari's grilling could continue, the doors were pushed open and Keine was seen staggering inside.
" H-help." Keine was staggering forward, Komachi and Snake letting go of their captives as she was soon caught by Ziden before she fell.
" The hell...Keine, where the hell and what the hell happened to you?" Ziden asked while seeing her hardly breathing.
" Potion...first, you idiot." Keine was gripping tight to her holder, Ziden, before he blinks and soon pulling out a large bottle of Hi potion and forced her to swallow it, her body slowly shuddering before her bruises and wounds vanished in an instant. " Thank you..."
" Anytime...Keine." The memories regained, made it hard for him to look at her before she soon stood tall.
"...Bucker up, I really need you right now, my kids...Seika, are in this weird camp. Where they kidnap kids from the nearby towns...villages...however the Outside world terms their areas." Keine said while panting softly, she was still out of breath as Ziden heard ringing.
" She's right, I remember hearing about kids being snatched up from places, even in Ginza, chances are, might be in that certain camp in Japan. Camp Ichigaya." Alice's voice came through the codec throughout those present wearing it, but magically enhanced so that those nearby and belonging to the resistence.
" Ichigaya..." Ziden had bad memories of the place, shown by the grimace on his face.
" You know of it?" Yukari asked while Ziden nods.
" Yeah, its where I got shot back in time, its where they had that time machine." Ziden remembers where it was, the male even remembers where it was.
" Time Machine? Ah, that was removed or rather upgraded for the Yamato Reactor I hear, a machine that can apparently create holes to other dimensions or open a black hole." Fujiwara spoke through the mic next.
" That does not matter now..the kids!" Keine was seen standing up before ziden gripped her shoulder. " No, I am not going back, I am going with, after all, I can handle myself in a fight."
" ...Alright, with the way you are now, I doubt I could stop you in the slightest" Ziden simply sighs, remember what she was like after that big event that caused her to hide her memories and the history of this. Clingy to the extreme. " Miko, you can do whatever you want, we got kids to save."
" Actually, no, his would be wise for them to aid us, after all, if its learned the Taoists helped save kids of a Foreign land, well, Foreign to us Gensokyians, they would get alot good graces with the Humans of the Village who survived that raid." Miko perked up at Yukari;'s words, this may be a chance to get some major points. Reimu is dead and she does not know that Byakuren is suffering with basically depression from the hell that happened in her impromptu temple.
" Very well, we shall aid you, or rather, i shall. Futo, Tojiko, head to their base, take Seiga with you to their base, let them see the fact that I am aiding these young heroes and let us gain a bigger foothold in the Human Village." Miko stated as Yukari opened a gap for them to go into.
Snake soon lets go of Futo who soon glares back at Snake. " Thou art lucky, had she commanded, thine foot would be buried betwixt thy ribs." Futo soon leaps into the gap as Tojiko soon floats downstairs.
" We should get moving now, so many kids...so many kids were taken and not many returned." Keine said before hobbling out of the building and even taking flight.
" Great, lets get moving Snake, I think they are gonna fl-" And Ziden was scooped up by the back of his jacket by Yuuka and taken to the air as Yukari takes Snake by the arms and flies after Keine.
" Huh, so flying was never blocked eh, would have been nice to know." Marisa spoke through the Codec freely, the group flying through the skies, stealthily while Miko flew behind them, soon reaching a massive building, rebuilt to have alot of open spaces, seems like to be a Zoo as well.
" They really changed this place up." Ziden said while they soon landed outside of the building, spotting two armed guards, armed with shotguns guarding the entrance.
" They did it seems, no worries, we shall burst in and save those children and any youkai that may be in this Zoo." Yukari said as Yuuka simply stabbed her umbrella into the ground and soon green vines shot up and tore right through the guards like butter, a scream barely heard from the attack as she simply walks in.
" I shall be having some fun, it has been ages since I went on a terror against humans you know." Yuuka said before walking inside, Keine simply swallowing hard.
" I am reminded why I do not let the villagers cross her." Keine said while following after her. " They have Youkai and people here, we should capture them and bring them with us. Ziden, I can trust you can save my kids and yours?" Ziden nods. " Good."
" Wait." Yukari walks up to Keine and whispers something before she nods. " Make sure to lead them somewhere out of camera shot before you do it though." Yukari even kindly pulls out a nice Silver Sword for Keine to use, who takes it and twirls it in her hand, she was still sore, but her body was fine to fight.
" Then lets begin this rescue mission!" Ziden said as the group charged in, Snake following after Ziden and Miko going to aid them as well. Yukari was off to do her own devices here.
Camp Ichigaya ( Shin Megami Tensei IV)
Ziden and his duo made his way into the Camp, seeing Shadowloo goons coming for them, Ziden soon unsheathing his blade. " Intruders! sound the Ala-!" And Ziden made sure to cleave right through his neck while Snake made sure to pull out his pistol and fired shots right into their heads, watching them stagger before passing right out.
" Won't kill if I don't need to, we can interrogate these ones later." Snake said while Ziden nods and turns the corner.
" Then keep note of those guys there! I'm going to find my daughter and God kids." Ziden said, referring to Alex and Sypha, the male leaping along the wall and kicking goons down to the ground as Miko followed him after. A VIP room was ahead of them, a Zoo room it looks like, a single swipe of that red blade tore down that door with ease, soon revealing 2 skinny Shadowloo goons and one overweight one messing with a woman behind a glass of water and another in a cage, covered in a brown blanket.
" Come on now, you fishy woman, undo the robes! Give us a show! Or do we gotta take something from your friend again?" The heavy man spoke deep while Ziden could see Wakasagihime in the water, clenching onto her robes, his eyes noticed that in the blanket, through the tiny bit of light in the cage, showed him Kagerou's face,. he did also notice the room stunk of blood.
" Eh!?" the guys finally noticed that Ziden was in the doorway as Miko stepped into the room. " Oh crud, boss we got intruders!"
Miko wasted no time, quickly swinging her blade and unleashing a powerful blast of light that knocked the men back, Ziden leaping in and soon slicing down right into the skull of the heavy set man, spraying the window in red as Waka squeaked from the sight. " Whew. Yo, fish girl, you alright?" Ziden asked while walking to her, quick to punch the window and shatter it, dumbly flooding a large portion of the room and sending him sprawling along the floor.
"...Why, did you even think that was smart, Ziden?" Miko asked as Waka slowly pushed herself up with her arms.
" He's an idiot, what did you expect?" Waka slowly looks over at Ziden with a blank stare, who was whistling and getting up. The room was entirely soaked to the brim and Ziden stares over at Kagerou's cage. The male got close to it and smelt how bad it was, blood and other things came from the cage, her eye soon looking out at him.
" Ah...I must be dreaming...once more, this pain...oh how it makes me hallucinate...I almost see an angel in this hell." A small grin appeared on her face before ziden sliced down her cage and gently tugs her out of it. " Ah, you...are real...thank the Gods.." Ziden was seen passing her over to Snake, who promptly held her.
" Ngh, quite heavy aren't you?" Snake uttered as Kagerou glared up at him.
" Not something you say to a woman, Snake, if I recall your name."Miko said as he was moving to the door.
" N-no wait, don't leave without that box...she needs it." Waka points to the box in the corner and Ziden made sure to walk out to the box. " And uh, one of you needs to carry me, can't exactly walk, ya know..."
Ziden stares back at her before going to open the box and seeing what was within, frost pouring out of the box and he almost lost his stomach's insides from the sight inside of the box. A fluffy tail, covered in frost, two long wolf ears, a single hand and foot as well. IF this was a human, they would have died after having so much removed, but Youkai, they could survive this hell.
" Dear God, how can humans do something like this." Romani did not like what he saw and the audio on his end, showed many of the workers could not handle such a sight either.
Ziden quickly closes the box and was quick to stomp in the skulls of the two downed men and made sure to take the box with him. " Shoot, uh, how the hell did Kage take you around?" Ziden asked while stomping on the ground and forming that manhole which was now swallowing up a ton of water.
" A chair of wheels that she found in the forest." Waka said while looking at the water flowing down the hole.
" Do not worry, I've already sent people down into the tunnels to get them, go ahead and send them in and get the wolf to me ASAP." Eirin's voice came through clearly in the codecs as Ziden stares at Waka.
" Well, gotta push ya in I guess." She was instantly flailing against him before he literally throws her down into the waterfall, severely cushioning the fall as Snake leapt down into the hole to gently place down Kage while seeing civilians coming in and grabbing the duo.
" Keep those ladies safe now, we don't wanna hear anything of you guys being too rough." Snake said while seeing the box being softly lowered, a hefty man soon picking up the chilled box and running down the path as Snake leapt back up.
" Disgusting, people that are under this Bison's command, are truly disgusting!" Miko was wiping her mouth clean, seem she barfed too. " I may not...view youkai in good light but even they do not deserve this hell."
" Lets get moving, if they do this to the youkai...I don't wanna know what they do to the kids." Ziden said, the trio running out of the room as the manhole vanishes
Meanwhile...
Yukari was moving swiftly through the zoo part, breaking down parts of cages and soon smashing apart cages to free the people trapped within it and the youkai as well, those that were feral and lacked a human appearence.
" An exotic spread, spiders, snakes and even people? What an odd pla-"
" HEY HEY HEY! OVER HERE!" And yukari's eye was instantly caught by the stark red oni like creature trapped in a cage with a table before it, having a weird rectangle like device.
" An oni?" Yukari asked while walking to the cage as the creature stared at her.
" I am not a cotton blasted oni! Dammit! I am an Imagin! Say it with me, Imagin!" The creature hits his hands against the bars while Yukari blankly stares at the sight.
" Imagin...never heard of such a youkai." Yukari said while looking at the lock on the gate while Keine was soon running over to a cage that held two kids in them, slicing down the lock and embracing her children. She had hers, now she had to hope her nephew can find his.
" I am not a youkai! Listen! Just get me out of here lady! I gotta give that red dressed bastard an ass beating!" And the male stood up tall as Yukari shrugged before breaking open the cage and he leapt down onto the floor. " Oh yes! Freedom! Freedom!" And he was seen swiping up the device, only for a loud alarm to blare out.
" Oh come on, of course that was booby trapped." Yukari sighed before he chuckled and saw a horde of guards coming out.
" Heh, doesn't matter if it was." He was seen pulling out a Belt and soon slapping it onto him and soon pressing the red button on it. "Because its time for Momotaros to teach these punks a lesson!"
Ore Sanjou ( Kamen Rider Den-O)
The belt was now glowing red and he soon swipes the pass over it. " Sword Form!" And many parts of armor soon formed and slammed onto him, a smooth biker helmet over his head and a large red peach sliding down the face, splitting down the middle to form his face, as Yukari was surprised.
" Huh, so he is a rider as well?" Yukari asked while he was clapping his hands together.
" He transformed! Waste him and get more guys to deal with that green haired chick raising hell in this place!" Yukari raised her brow at this, was Yuuka already rampaging through it.
" Heh, Ore! Sanjou!" And he made sure to pose, Yukari telling he was speaking pure Japanese through the Language boundary enacted around them. " I'm gonna warn ya lady. From start to finish, I always start at a Climax!" And soon he forms a sword from the tools at his side. " Now, Lets go! Lets Go! Lets go!" And right in he charged, swinging his sword around and striking down the guards while Yukari saw a familiar face in a cage.
" Hah, so the Mind Reader is in this kind of a jam?" Yukari asked while looking at Satori who simply looks at her.
" Indeed, used as a commodity and lie detector for cheating couples, my eye, it tires of the evils of man in this place. Will I be allowed to join your resistence?" Satori asked while looking at her as Yukari nodded.
" Of course but, you don't want to want to endlessly hear the voices of everyone, so why not ask Ziden about doing /that/?" Yukari asked as Satori blinked and turned red at this.
" A-are you certain? For a member of my race to do this, it is...ah, I see, you want me to not only not worry of being overloaded but aid him as well...very well." Yukari busted her cage open and opens a gap for her to head into. " Please, if you can find them, please save my Orin and Okuu." She leaps into the Gap as it closes, Yukari watching all the free youkai and people leaping into gaps and back at the large base. Soon sneaking off herself to find Ziden.
Den-O saw her sneaking off and soon made sure to run after her. Making sure anyone who got too close to them were sliced down.
Yukari got in deep enough that she spotted Ziden and his crew as they were staring down a large room and soon heading inside.
" About time we intersected." Yukari said as Ziden looked at her.
" Freed all the Zoo folk?" Ziden asked as she nodded as he soon searches the wall for a light switch and turns it on, but soon wishes he had not.
The large room was a cage room full of children and things that could no longer be counted as children. Miko herself was disgusted and Keine quickly made sure to cover the eyes of her kids and step out of the room.
" Child Experiments, no, not just that." Snake was bothered but he remained calm. " These are weaponization experiments to make child Super Soldiers." Snake looked upon a child whose face carried a large X in it and massive bolts in her back, was unresponsive.
Yukari noticed that there were guards in here but were sliced down, no doubt by Yuuka she assumed. " W-weaponizing children, what sort of monsters would..."
" Humans are terrible beings at times." Ziden said while looking at the cages, searching for his daughter and soon approaching a large iron door. " Free them Yukari, I need to find Seika." Ziden said while gently pushing against the door and soon yanking it open and heading inside.
Yukari got right to work as Yuuka came into the room, surprised by what she is seeing. " My, seems like I missed the party." She said while summing vines to tear open cages as Yukari was trying to figure out how to work the cage the girl was in but was unable.
" Missed? Is this not your work?" Yukari picked up the guard nearby who body was cleaved almost perfectly in half.
" This was done by a blade, you old bat, come now." Yuuka softly taps her dress. " Though, I had heard of a green haired woman wandering through her and cleaving through here."
Ziden did not even hear what they were doing back there, all he saw was the sight of his daughter on an operating table with a nurse that was dressed way too skimpy for this work, but lacked an eye and her stark blue hair was a stunning thing about her.
The doctor was a man cloaked in black but most notable was the very visible brain inside of the glass dome, his scalpel deep inside of Seika's unconscious body as he stares at the man. " Ah, this must be the father. I believe, we should go." The male snapped his fingers as armed guards appeared in the room. " Miss Valentine, let us go, and relocate."
The woman named Valentine simply nods before moving away from the table. " Indeed, let us go, Brain Drain." The two were seen glowing in a burst of darkness before vanishing but all Ziden saw was red before everything went black.
An hour later...
Back at the hideout was pure silence as Ziden was holding his crying child with Mokou right next to him, drenched in blood but Seika did not care.
The rampage they saw in that room and the frenzy Ziden went into, caused alot of them shock and awe.
" So, that's the rage of a parent, almost felt like seeing a Berserker rampage." Mash stated as Keine simply held her kids to her.
" Never seen a person go that wild before, guess I am glad I did not get any kids from my many fans." Momotaros was with them now as Waka was now in the fountain and using it as her home, it was good enough and was made deeper thanks to Sakuya's powers.
" I see now that one should be wary of a parent's rage." Miko softly said while looking over at Byakuren who was still depressed, sitting next to Shou who was opening and closing her hand but not speaking at all. " But, a demon's nature, scares me more now."
" Ziden." ziden looks up from his daughter and sees Tsukasa walking to him. " Found the next place you should go to, make sure to clean up too." He was unimpressed by the bloodshed he caused
"...So where am I going next?" Ziden asked, Seika letting go with a soft smile on her face as Ziden looks to Tsukasa.
Satori herself watched this from the hallway, gently holding her third Eye, seeing the exact place Tsukasa wanted them to go to.
" We're gonna deal a massive blow to Bison now, we're gonna take back the Photonic Power Plant."
Elsewhere...
High atop a building,a green haired woman with light blue serpentine eyes was staring down at where the Ginza shopping center was, the woman playing with a blood stained knife. " Mmm, should have went to see him before, now I will have to catch him when he is not around others, wanna see how strong he is."
Atop another building, that skimpily dressed woman was staring down at the complex as well. " Well, I should go and make myself known, they should be heading to the Power Plant soon enough."
Trivia:
1. Den O hails from Kamen Rider Den-O, An absurdly goofy rider that all of you will love, probably.
2. Brain Drain and Valentine come from Skull Girls and the girl in the cage, should be obvious.
3. Photonic Power Plant hails directly from Mazinger and shall be one of many precise striking points as our heroes move onto the offensive. finally.
4. Green haired girl is an oc, you will see next chapter.
5. Skimpy dressed chick is not an oc and you will see her next chapter as well.
Author's Notes: Lots of things went weird, I was gonna upload about a week ago, but then we ended up partying when the kids left. So they will not be here. And EVO happened, so uh, yeah. Anyways, read and review and be sure to check out an Altered Chronicle, my first attempt at POV writing, despite being a spin off, it will hint at future arcs if ya like that and yes, its a Touhou focused story but still in this jumbled mess of a world, so once more, thanks for Reading and leave a nice review!
Story Preview: Divine Super Robot Wars
In this crossed over world, endless worlds that should never meet in this setting, shall come forth and meet!
Star Fox Armada
An Arwing could be seen flying into the scene. " A mobile suit possessed by the Aparoids!? No worries, you can leave this to me." Fox made sure to take flight in that Arwing, soaring around the Zaku in the depths of space before firing that barrage of green lasers, tearing right through the suit and causing one big ole explosion as Fox flew right by it.
Lightning races right down and forms the logo we are all familiar with at this point.
