"Hey… Hey, can you hear me?" a voice said as a figure slowly opened his eyes to see a young man with brown hair.
"Ugh… Where am I?" the figure asked getting up, revealing it to be Chikasu Ishihara.
"You're inside a tower. One spawned by an agent of the apocalypse." a red haired woman said.
"Ah… That's right. I was looking for backup to send to my son for the battle against the titans, but...along the way, I got attacked and knocked out." Chikasu said.
"You're lucky we found you, or you would've really been a goner." a young boy said.
"Still, what could an old man like you be doing in a place like this, anyway?" a man in a white coat asked.
"My son and his friends are combatting a threat that seeks to wipe out all life in the multiverse. I came to this world to find him some help, but I ended up getting tangled up in this mess instead." Chikasu said.
"So, you're a world-hopper, huh? I can dig that." A young man with blue hair said.
"Unfortunately, we seem to be caught up in something else at the moment." a woman with brown hair said. "How about this, once we finish up what we're sent to do here, we'll come to his aid. Will you help us?"
"Of course I will. I'll help in any way I can." Chikasu said. "There are eleven of you… Are you supposed to be some sort of soccer team?"
"Hahaha! No, not really." the young boy said.
"We're members of SEALED, a group of psychics formed together to combat the threat at this very tower." a man with brown hair said.
"Threat?" Chikasu asked.
"He only goes by The End. He was here while you were still knocked out." a man with blonde hair said. "And he gave us quite the bit of news."
"There...are traitors among us." the brown haired woman said.
"Traitors? Really?" Chikasu asked.
"That's preposterous! Why would a member of SEALED, upholders of justice, take the side of evil?" the brown haired man said.
"I can come up with a whole bunch of reasons, really?" a lavender haired girl with an accent said.
"In any case, our memories have been tampered with, so we can't say for sure who they might be." a woman with blonde hair said.
"Not that we'd think you're a traitor. You did just appear out of nowhere and all." a man with white hair said.
"It's okay. I can understand why you don't trust me at first. So, what's this threat we're dealing with?" Chikasu asked.
"The End is an agent of the apocalypse. He's about to launch nuclear warheads on every major city in the world in two weeks unless we kill him." the brown haired young man said.
"He's already killed two billion people plus. And he has no intentions of stopping." the red haired young woman said. "Be thankful you were unconscious for that part."
"Well, seeing as though we'll be working together for a while anyway, we may as well get to know each other." the blue haired young man said.
"I envy how calm you can be at a time like this." Chikasu said. "Very well, my name is Chikasu Ishihara, father of the Ice Devil, David Ishihara."
"The Ice Devil, the one who wracked up a half a billion Beli bounty by the One Piece World's Government?" the white haired man asked.
"The very same, unfortunately. He's not much for government types. Anyway, I used to be a world-hopping hero just like him, but I eventually settled down and started a family, now my children are following in my footsteps." Chikasu said.
"Well, that's good to hear." the brown haired young man said. "I'm Sho Kasugai. My ability is Vision, which allows me to see glimpses of the future. Not streams of time, mind you. Just mere images."
"I'm Himeno Akatsuki." the red haired woman introduced herself. "My ability is Pyrokinesis, which as you may know, allows me to control fire."
"My name is Toya Orbert." the blonde haired man introduced himself. "My ability is Magnetism, which allows me to control electricity and magnetic currents."
"I'm Mana Kawai." the lavender haired girl introduced herself. "My ability is Overdrive, which makes my fists much more powerful."
"Nagi Shishiouka, at your service." the blonde haired woman saluted. "My ability is Levitation, which...should be self-explanatory."
"I guess it's my turn then. My name is Sojiro Sagara." the lab coated man introduced himself. "My ability is Healing, and can recover the most grievous of wounds."
"Zenji Maeda." the white haired man bluntly introduced himself. "My ability is Synchronization, which allows me to copy the abilities of other people."
"H-hello. I'm Marco Barbarto." the brown haired boy spoke meekly. "My ability is Telekinesis, which allows me to move objects with my mind."
"I'm Yoko Tachibana. Nice to meet you." the brown haired woman introduced herself with a bow. "My ability is Telepathy."
"'Sup? Agito Yuuki is my name, and teleportation is my game!" the blue haired young man introduced himself.
"And last but not least, I am George Jackman!" the brown haired man introduced himself. "A man of justice granted with the ability of psychometry!"
"Well, looks like that's everyone. I look forward to working with you all." Chikasu said.
"Or at least, as long as The End will allow it…" Sho said.
A/N: Oh, man! That chapter was something, wasn't it? Yes, you heard right, there are traitors amongst the party. And that's where you all will come in. Whenever I open the polls, and I'll open the first one by the time this chapter is posted, you'll be voting on which member must be sacrificed to proceed further in. Since I'm going for the true ending here, sorry Sho fans, I'm going to write the chapters under the assumption that everyone with the majority vote is the traitor. Speaking of which, the first traitor is always fixed on the first playthrough. If that person has the majority vote, I'll throw a special scene in. I won't spoil who, but if the majority vote for the first Judgment is anyone but this person, I'll reveal who it is in the Author's Notes at the end of the first Judgment. I can put you all at ease and reveal right away that there are five traitors over the course of the story, and those five will be revealed based on your votes because they're different in every playthrough. Inadvertly, this means that by the end of this story, the field will be cut in half. Only five people will join my group in their next appearance in the series. I'll reveal more details once we get to the first Judgment, but as of now, the first poll is officially open. So cast in your votes, and I will see you all next chapter.
