SHONEN ALLIANCE

RE:BIRTH

OPENING THEME: RANBU NO MELODY (Bleach)

Yuri was furious. He had led Obelisk Force to crush the opposition in XYZ and Fusion Dimensions with little real trouble. Only the water breathing swordsman and the meathead in the black coat, along with their friends had posed any real challenge to him, and only the meathead, he believed the man had introduced himself as Iotaro though Yuri didn't care, was not currently either dead or trapped in a card.

Fusion Dimension had been even more of a joke. Only the divine energy of the goddess Nepgear had made any of them worth carding. The rest had been obliterated by the Dark Saiyan.

Synchro Dimension had yet to be subjugated, but they had Rin. Abducting her from that fool of a Turbo Duelist had been child's play.

And then the invasion of Standard Dimension had begun, and everything had gone wrong. Serena's betrayal hadn't been surprising. If anything, it confirmed to Yuri that the professor had been far too lenient with her. That could be rectified once she was recaptured.

More frustrating was the escape of Zuzu Boyle. Not only had she slipped out of Yuri's grasp, but she'd managed to slip into another dimension entirely! This seemed to be the dimension the Dark Saiyan had originally come from, and its champions were putting up a real fight.

And now, Yuri's ace monster had been defeated by some strange rubber man! Clearly, he'd been far to lenient with this world's irritants.

"Enough mercy! Crush every last one of them!" Yuri ordered his soldiers.

As the heroes watched, Ancient Gear Golems began appearing one by one. Soon, sixty of the hulking juggernauts faced Amestris' defenders.

"You've gotta be kidding!" Ed exclaimed at the swarm of giants.

"Damn it," Vine cursed.

"This one might be tricky," Ryuko cursed.

"Heheheh," Natsu chuckled, "this'll be fun."

"Hmm, I don't know. Don't think these guys'll last very long," Luffy admitted.

"What's that mean?" Natsu asked. He got his answer when two Golems were blown into two. One was sliced clean as though a blade had cut through it while the other shattered as though struck by an incredible amount of blunt force!

"No way!" Natsu lamented as Golem's began to meet the same fate one after another, "come on! I wanna fight to, damn it!"

The final Golems were crumbling before their assailants became apparent. Roronoa Zoro and Sanji appeared in front of the final dying Golems, their backs turned to each other.

"That's 33," Zoro grunted as he sheathed his three swords.

"Where the hell did you learn to count, Moss Head," Sanji growled as he lit a cigarette, "there were 60, I took out 35, so that only left 25 for you."

"Shut up, if that's what you got then you're the one who needs to learn how to count!" Zoro hissed back.

Zoro's sword was drawn in an instant, its blade locking against the sole of Sanji's shoe as the bickering Straw Hats both took a swing at each other.

"Uhh, shouldn't they be focused on fighting the bad guys?" asked the young woman in the red cape.

One of Obeslisk's soldiers decided he had found an opening to crush their new foes!

"POLYMERIZATION!" he roared as he used his Fusion card!

The ground shook violently as a Chaos Ancient Gear Giant appeared, towering above Zoro and Sanji. It rose its foot to crush them, but the two easily dodged the attack!

"Now, GUM GUM…!" Luffy shouted, jumping for the Giant's head as his arm stretched backwards and began twisting.

"FIRE DRAGON…" Natsu roared as his fist ignited and he followed Luffy!

The giant saw its attackers as they flew at it and rose its arm to swing at them!

"AIR STRIKE SHIELD!" Naofumi shouted, "and SECOND SHIELD!" Two green energy shields appeared beside each other as the Giant swung its arm. It's swing attack was stopped completely by the shields!

"HITEN MITSURUGI STYLE!" shouted the scared samurai as he rushed the giants left leg!

"THREE SWORD STYLE," Zoro shouted, all three of his swords drawn as he rushed the right leg, "ONI GIRI!"

Zoro slashed effortlessly through the right as the samurai's strike severed its left leg!

"Colonel!" Ed shouted, clapping his hands.

"GOT IT!" Vine replied as both alchemists placed their hands on the ground. Energy surged through the ground as a stone arm rose from the earth, grabbing the wrist of the arm Naofumi's shield was holding at bay, violently yanking the arm, and ripping it off at the elbow!

"Hey Ruby, think you can make that shot without hitting Natsu or the straw hat guy!?" Ryuko asked as the girl in the red cape aimed her scythe at the Giant's head!

"Piece of cake!" Ruby shouted, firing a sniper shot that blew a hole clean through the Giant's head!

"RIFLE!"

"IRON FIST!"

Luffy and Natsu's fists struck simultaneously completely blowing away everything above the Giants chest! It began to fall backwards, exploding into smoke before it even hit the ground.

Far to the west, the metal frames of Ancient Gear Soldiers and Engineers tore like paper under the powerful claws of Kurumu Kurono.

"That all you've got!?" Kurumu shouted as several Soldiers lined up their guns on her.

A barrage of gunfire shot at the succubus, but she was to fast for the Soldiers to draw a bead on, leaping just ahead of their fire!

"I'd pay attention to us if I were you," Inner Moka advised as she split a Soldier in half with a kick!

Two figures danced like lightning throughout the battalion of Soldiers, accurately targeting and destroying each soldier despite moving so fast, they appeared to be a blur! Only when the entire group of Soldiers were destroyed did Moka and Clare slow enough to be easily visible.

"They're weak, but there're so many of them," Clare observed.

"However many they are, trash is still trash," Moka declared confidently as she stretched her arms and legs.

Seemingly as a response to Moka's taunts, two Ancient Gear Golems appeared, towering over the two women.

"This one's certainly bigger," Clare observed.

"Are you saying you haven't fought anything this big before?" Moka asked.

"I didn't say that," Clare replied, grabbing her claymore.

The two women vanished again and the Golems' legs broke at the shin, one's shattered by brute force, one's sliced with a large sword.

/\/\/\/\/\/\

"RASENGAN!"

In the south, Naruto's Rasengan blew the leg completely off of an Ancient Gear Golem that teetered and fell backwards, exploding into smoke.

"LIGHTNING BLADE!"

"DYNAMIC ENTRY!"

The Ancient Gear Soldiers vastly outnumbered their two foes, but considering their foes were Might Guy and Kakashi Hatake, those numbers didn't even come close to giving them any sort of advantage.

"How many foes does that give you, Kakashi?" Guy asked, seeming to barely pay his opponents any mind.

"Hmm," Kakashi thought, more interested in the book he held in his right hand then in the fight, "I think that one…" he said, ducking under an Engineer's drill and destroying it, "…brings me to 58."

"You'd better take this more seriously, Kakashi," Guy declared, flashing a shimmering smile as he kicked two more Soldiers in half, "thanks to those two, I'm already at 61."

Kakashi sighed, marked his place in the book, and closed it, returning it to his weapons pouch. "I guess it couldn't hurt to be a bit more serious."

/\/\/\/\/\/\

In the east, dozens of Ancient Gear Golems marched over the battlefield. They would have made for an intimidating sight on any battlefield that didn't also house Kenpachi Zaraki. As it stood, the 11th Division Captain's battle crazed laughter chilled the blood of Amestris' soldiers as he tore Golems apart.

"ROAR! ZABIMARU!"

"DANCE! SODE NO SHIRAYUKI!"

"GETSUGA TENSHŌ!"

The Soldiers and Engineers weren't having any better a time then their larger counterparts, faced as they were by Ichigo Kurosaki's group who were easily overwhelming the mechanical soldiers.

/\/\/\/\/\/\

In the snowy north, Goku watched the army of Golems approaching the Amestrian lines.

"Huh, this one probably won't be much fun if we all fight," he lamented, "how about Rock, Paper, Scissors to decide who gets to fight!"

"Play whatever game you want, Kakarot," Vegeta roared, flying into the air above the Amestrians!

"BIG BANG ATTACK!"

The explosive impact of Vegeta's blast violently shook the Amestrian lines, knocking most off of their feet entirely. Their enemies, meanwhile, were obliterated in an instant!

"Ahh," Goku whined as Amestrian soldiers panicked, fleeing to distance themselves from Vegeta as the Saiyan prince landed, "hey, that was no fair Vegeta!"

For his part, Vegeta spat distastefully in the snow and growled in annoyance. "Waste of my time."

/\/\/\/\/\/\

Yuri was livid. The tide that the Amestrians had been just beginning to turn had now entirely shifted against his forces thanks to the new interlopers!

"Hmph, if we use her now, we might accidentally kill Zuzu Boyle if she's here," he spat, "what a joke. I suppose if you want something done right, do it yourself!"

"You won't be hurting anyone else, Yuri!"

A violent burst of wind swept over the battlefield as Yuri turned to face the man who had called him out. An eerie silence fell as the eyes of Obelisk Force's cruel leader locked with those of the King of Games.
