"No... NO!" Sabrina screamed, who was pinned down by Guard Armor. "All of them are...!"
"Yes, they're dead." A woman walked over to her, revealing to be Cinder, holding her bow as Sabrina looked at her family on the ground, dead.
However, someone was weakly getting up... and it was Riku. "D-Don't... even... think about it..."
"Oh? You're still alive?" Cinder aimed her bow at Riku, smirking at Sabrina in the process and pulled the string. "You can't even lift your Keyblade. How are you going to protect your wife?"
"I'll... I'll find a way..." Riku weakly wiped the blood from his mouth and then weakly mouthed the words "I love you." to Sabrina before Cinder fired the arrow straight to his chest.
"NO!" She screamed, watching Riku falling to the ground. Cinder chuckled and turned around.
"Don't you see, Sabrina? You can't protect your family... and they won't protect you either." She aimed her bow at her. "Tell me something... do you believe in destiny?"
"I do..." Sabrina whispered, feeling something in her that she hasn't felt in a very long time. In fact, it was pouring out of her body and normally, the Heartless would be attracted to this darkness, but something about this darkness... made the Guard Armor feel... uneasy.
"Hmm?"
The darkness overtook Sabrina, before transforming into Nightmare Heart... but she looked completely different. She looked like she was in her anti-form as well. So... Anti-Nightmare Heart.
BGM: Face It! (Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories)
Anti-Nightmare Heart screamed and punched the ground, creating a dark explosion that sent Guard Armor flying and Cinder sent several feet away. Anti-Nightmare Heart quickly destroyed the Guard Armor with a dark laser... and she menacingly walked towards Cinder, who looked completely terrified. "Wh-What are you?!"
"Your destiny." She said. Cinder's eyes widened as Anti-Nightmare Heart pulled back her fist and then punched Cinder in the chest, going right through her. Cinder had a pained look in her eye before she pulled back as Cinder fell to the ground in defeat.
She looked at Cinder's corpse before chuckling darkly... and then that chuckle turned into evil laughter.
And at that moment, that evil laughter turned into... a scream?
End BGM
The next thing that happened was panting, sweat running down Sabrina's forehead and resting her hands on the ground while sitting up from... her sleeping bag?
Everything became clear to Sabrina. It was just a nightmare that she had.
She heard snoring and it was coming from her husband, who was sound asleep and Rose sleeping as well.
She breathed a sigh of relief, putting her hand over her heart... but words kept echoing in her head.
Words that haunted her.
Sabrina looked around and then got out of her sleeping bag. "I need some air..." She whispered and then got up, walking out of the tent in quite a hurry and being careful not to step on everyone.
However, when she unzipped the doorway to the tent, it did wake up a few people. They were Rose, Maria Jr, Emerald, Neo and Locus, since those three decided to crash in their tent as well.
Sabrina walked around the campsite until she was out of it, needing some place to be alone. Of course, she did spot Alex who was chilling by the fire, but Alex didn't seem to pay attention to her as she was deep in thought.
BGM: Scent of Silence (Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories)
"Do you believe in destiny?"
"Yes."
"Take a good look, Sabrina! Your children are about to be the first ones to DIE... and there's nothing you can do about it."
"My kids... d-die?!"
"That's right! There's nothing you can do about it. Now watch... as your loved ones will die! STARTING WITH YOUR DAUGHTER!"
"You fucking bitch... I'll make sure you'll suffer a most PAINFUL DEATH!"
"If I can't kill them... I'll just kill the REST of your family... STARTING WITH YOUR HUSBAND!"
"SAY GOODBYE TO YOUR LIFE, CINDER!"
Sabrina attempted to block out the voices in her head, covering her ears and having the most distressed look in her eyes, closing them in the process... but those words kept repeating themselves.
Die.
Death.
Goodbye to your life.
"No... g-get out...!" Sabrina pleaded, trying her hardest... but they weren't doing her any good.
"Hey." A voice spoke up, snapping her out of her thoughts. She turned to see Locus approaching her. "Everything alright?"
"Y-Yeah, I'm fine..."
"No, something's wrong. I can see it in your eyes."
"I'm telling you, everything's fine."
"Mommy..." Rose quietly said in concern.
"Everything's fine, sweetie... I'm just... I'm just fine." She lied.
"No, no you are not." A voice said. They looked around for the source until Rose's backpack lit up, and out came a hologram of an Elite.
"Santa!" Rose exclaimed.
"Santa...?" Emerald raised an eyebrow at this while Neo wondered who would name an alien hologram Santa.
"That's what a fellow named Caboose called me." Santa explained.
Locus mentally facepalmed. Of COURSE the blue moron would call an ancient AI Santa of all people.
"I took a look inside Sabrina's mind. She's bothered by her fears. Losing herself to her HDD, afraid of the Darkness... and afraid of losing her family." He explained.
"Is this true?" Locus asked.
Sabrina said nothing, not wanting to say anything, but her bothered look confirmed that she was scared. "Y-Yes..." She finally spoke up. "It's true..." She said, tears swelling in her eyes. "I'm...afraid... of losing myself to my HDD... I'm afraid of the darkness... and I'm... afraid of losing my family...!" She sobbed, as tears were streaming down her cheeks nonstop.
I thought so... Locus thought as they then heard Pokeballs being opened up, but Sabrina didn't hear them... she was too busy crying... until something wiped her tears away as it looked like a tentacle. She looked up to see Greninja, Kyurem, Malamar, Sableye, Snivy and Joltik... who crawled up on her shoulder.
"Ninja." Greninja quietly said, gently putting his hand on her shoulder.
"We actually hate seeing you sad." Kyurem said.
It was at this moment that Rose, Maria Jr. and Neo walked over and hugged her tightly.
"Everything will be fine." Locus said, walking over with Emerald and he gently put his hand on her other shoulder. "We're all afraid of something, and of course it will bother us, but we shouldn't be bothered by it."
"He's right." Emerald nodded.
"I'm sorry... I... I never thought I'd let some stupid fears get the best of me."
"We all have those moments." Maria Jr. said as Rose nodded in agreement.
"You don't have to fight your fears alone. We'll all be here for you." Emerald said as they all nodded.
"Malamar."
"Sable!"
"Ninja nin."
"Snivy."
"Joltik!"
"...What they said." Kyurem said as Greninja rolled his eyes at this.
"...Thanks..." Sabrina said as they proceeded to talk more... well... Neo only just smiled, but still, they all proceeded to talk to make Sabrina feel better and Kyurem was translating what Greninja, Malamar, Sableye, Snivy, and Joltik said... and then, a bright light hit them as they looked to see the sun rising in the background.
"I feel... a lot better." Sabrina said.
"That's good to hear." Emerald smiled.
End BGM
In the distance...
"Well, what do you know... we didn't have to get involved." Jacob said as Deadpool nodded, who, for some bizarre reason... had a night gown on him, complete with a night cap. Wait, why do you have a night gown?
"'Cause I'm Deadpool."
Sigh... should've seen that coming.
Anyway, besides Deadpool looking absolutely ridiculous...
"Hey, I look fabulous in this!"
Sorry, besides Deadpool looking absolutely fabulous... better?
"Better!"
Anyway, Riku was also there, looking concerned for his wife. He silently cursed himself for not immediately waking up and checking to see if Sabrina was okay. He'd have to ask her what's bothering her.
"They sure know how to make her feel better... for whatever seems to be troubling her." Mata Nui said, who was also there.
"Yep." Jacob nodded.
"Well... I'm going back to the tent. I'm gonna change out of this night gown." Deadpool said and walked away.
I hope everything's alright. Riku thought as he watched Sabrina putting her Pokemon back in her Pokeballs and walking back with the others.
It was at this very moment when they were reunited…
"AAAAAAAAAAAAH!"
They heard a scream… and it belonged to Jaune.
Jaune ran out of the tent and grabbed a piece of wood, then put in the fire and used it as a torch… and several Ghost Pokemon were getting closer to them. And by Ghost Pokemon, I mean Isaac's, Aria's, Minene and Yuno's Ghost Pokemon thought it was a good idea to scare the poor guy awake.
"BACK! BACK YOU VILE GHOSTS! BACK I SAY!" I yelled, waving the torch at the Ghost Pokemon, but they didn't seem too bothered by this… well, maybe except for Phantump who hid behind Dusclops… while Golett and Drifloon looked like they wanted to kill each other, much to Frosslass's annoyance.
"Go! Golett!"
"Drif! Drif! Drifloon!"
"Frosslass…" Frosslass got between them.
As for the other Pokemon…
"Mismaaag~!"
"Dusclops!"
"Dou! Doublade!"
"Spirit! Spiritomb!"
"…Phan? Phantump?"
"I SAID BACK! BACK! BACK I SAY!" He yelled, but he was the one backing up and Weiss poked her head out of the tent in annoyance.
"CAN'T YOU SEE SOME OF US ARE TRYING TO GET SOME BEAUTY SLEEP?!" She yelled.
"It's not my fault!" Jaune exclaimed as he kept backing up… and then his heel hit a candlestick that Blake left out as she was in the middle of a reading marathon with Flare. "Whoa… WHOA!" He yelled as he tripped over some books… and then the next thing he knew, he started falling down some stairs. "OW! OW! OOOOOW! OW, MY LEG! OOOOOOW!"
"…There were stairs there?" Alex wondered while the Ghost Pokemon laughed.
"Ooo, running gag potential!" Deadpool laughed.
A little bit later…
Ruby rolled out of the tent, rubbing the sleep out of her eyes and then heard laughter as she turned her head to see Blake and Yang using Gambol Shroud as a jump rope and Rose, Maria Jr, Light and Horus were happily jumping. "Oh! My turn!" Ruby ran over as the kids got out of the way and Blake and Yang grinned at this.
Then, Ruby started jumping. "Jaune be nimble! Jaune be quick! Jaune fell over the candlestick!" She grinned as they all looked over to see Jaune angrily walking over with a cast on his leg, a crutch on one hand and Pyrrha helping him.
"Blake be nimble, Blake be quick, Blake needs to learn to pick up after herself WHEN SHE'S DONE READING!" Jaune yelled as they all laughed at this. "THE SAME GOES TO FLARE!"
"Hmm?" Flare looked up from a book she was reading. "Did you say something?"
"DON'T PLAY INNOCENT WITH ME!"
"Oh, Jaune…" Pyrrha sighed.
"Don't worry, I'll help heal your leg!" Nora got closed to him. "Tell me where it hurts." She said and literally punched his leg.
"YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!"
"…You're supposed to touch it, not punch it." Ren muttered.
"Oh come on, where's the fun in that?"
One fixed leg later… with the help of Deadpool of all people…
"How did you fix up my leg just like that?" Jaune asked.
"Do you really want to know?" Deadpool asked.
"…Probably not." Jaune muttered.
"I do!" Nora raised her hand. And with that, Jaune proceeded to walk around the camp while everyone else was still asleep, and it was at this moment as he kept walking, he noticed Hoopa looking quite…upset. What's he doing? He wondered and curiously walked over to him. "Yo, Hoopa. What's going on?"
"I'm just wondering if any of our other friends are still out there, probably alone and looking for us."
"I see…" Jaune rubbed his chin in thought and looked around. "Now that I think about it, Sun and Neptune aren't even here."
"Xarina isn't here either." Sabrina said, walking over to them, and joining them were Jacob, Deadpool, Locus, Alex, Sora, Rose, Maria Jr, Kairi, Riku, Aria, Terra, Neo and Emerald.
"I miss my family." Alex sighed.
"I'm sure we'll find them." Locus said.
"ARGH! I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!" Hoopa yelled and then took out his hoops and made portals. "Let's see… Oh, maybe there's someone in my world!"
"Could be a possibility. Everyone was sent to random locations anyway." Kairi said.
"Hmm…" Hoopa peeked his head through the hoop. "Heeeeelloooo? Anyone out there? HELLOOOOOO!"
"JIGGLY! JIGGLY!"
"Huh?"
It was at this moment that a Jigglypuff came running through and ran into Hoopa, and then joining the Jigglypuff was a Snubbull, a Spoink, Skitty, Azurill, Florges and a Wooper joined the Jigglypuff… running over poor Hoopa in the process.
"Oooogh…" Hoopa groaned. "I'm okay…"
"They look scared…" Sora said.
"Why does that Jigglypuff look so familiar…?" Sabrina wondered.
"Spoink spoink?"
"Jiggly. Puff puff."
"Flor…"
"WOOPA! WOOPA!" Wooper yelled as they saw a Beedrill, a Nincada, a Skorupi, a Heracross, and a Yanma looking quite angry at them.
"Jiggly…"
"Skitty…"
"Hey!" Sora exclaimed, summoning the Ultima and aiming directly at Beedrill.
"Wait, Sora… NO!" Sabrina yelled, but it was too late, he used a Thundaga on Beedrill. The Beedrill hissed in pain.
"Okay, I know you were just defending them, but that was not the way to do it…" Sabrina muttered, slapping him upside the head.
"Hey, I don't have Pokemon you know."
"That doesn't mean you should've attacked it like that."
"Hera? Hera?"
Beedrill hissed in anger and then angrily turned to Sora. Beedrill went after Sora, using Twineedle on him repeatedly, and then did the same for Jaune.
"OOOOW! WHAT DID I DO TO DESERVE THAT?!"
"OW! OOOOOW!" Sora yelled as they took off, and the Beedrill followed.
"I should feel sorry for Sora, but…" Aria sighed, and then noticed the Nincada, Skorupi, Heracross, and Yanma glaring at them.
"Uh, I'm not liking those glares." Kairi said.
"I'll take care of this." Sabrina said, and joining her was Rose, Maria Jr. and Aria.
BGM: Battle! Wild Pokemon (Pokemon Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire)
"Let's go!" Sabrina exclaimed, sending out Greninja. "I'll take out Nincada."
"I'll take care of Skorupi." Aria said, sending out Blaziken.
"I'll use Diancie on Heracross!" Rose said, calling out Diancie.
"And I'll take on Yanma." Maria Jr. said, calling out Ampharos.
"Grenin!"
"Blaze!"
"Oh yeah, let's go!" Diancie grinned.
"Ampha!"
"Nin Nin!" Nincada cried, and used Mud Slap on Greninja, but Greninja jumped high in the air and used Water Shuriken, but Nincada quickly avoided it and then ran over to Greninja and used Fury Swipes, but Greninja put his foot on Nincada's face, so basically, Nincada was flailing his front legs around.
"Ninja…"
Sabrina snickered. "Well, that's one way to stop him." She said. "Alright, take him out with Hydro Pump."
"Grenin!" Greninja nodded and while he was still holding down poor Nincada, he used Hydro Pump to knock him away and finished him off with Water Shuriken.
"Cada…" Nincada groaned after being defeated.
"Skor! Skor!" Skorupi launched Toxic Spikes at Blaziken's feet, who just looked at them before jumping over them.
"Blaze Kick!"
"Blaze… IKEN!"
"Skor!" Skorupi cried, using Venoshock on Blaziken, but to its surprise, Blaziken flipped to avoid it and hit Skorupi with Blaze Kick, knocking him unconscious.
"Didn't even need to Mega Evolve!" Aria grinned as Blaziken gave her the thumbs up.
"Hera!" Heracross ran over and used Brick Break on Diancie, but she quickly avoided it.
"Use Moon Blast!"
"Moon… BLAST!" Diancie yelled, hitting Heracross and severely weakening him, but he got back up and used Megahorn, but Diancie used Diamond Storm on the Single Horn Pokemon, knocking him down for the count. "Yay!"
"Awesome!" Rose cheered.
"Yan Yan!" Yanma cried and flew over to Ampharos, using Wing Attack on him as he took the hits but quickly recovered.
"Ampha!" Ampharos challenged, doing a 'come at me' taunt at him, which Yanma fell for and flew straight to him, using Wing Attack again while getting close but Ampharos jumped up in the air.
"Thunder!"
"AM…PHAAAAAA!" Ampharos yelled, using Thunder on the unsuspecting Yanma and immediately knocked him out, and then Ampharos saw Beedrill still attacking Sora and Jaune, so he used Thunder on Beedrill and then landed, and then Beedrill was also knocked out cold.
"Phew…" Sora sighed with relief as Kairi used Curaga on him and Jaune.
"I still don't understand why it attacked me too…" Jaune muttered.
End BGM
"I wonder what that was all about?" Sabrina wondered.
A few tied up Pokemon later…
"Alright, why were you chasing these Pokemon?" Aria asked, as Sabrina had an annoyed look on her face, most likely because she wasn't thrilled with tying up the Pokemon. In fact, Aria didn't like the idea either, but someone had to do it, and Professor Jacob was responsible… and he didn't like tying them up either.
Beedrill buzzed, explaining something as they all looked at Hoopa.
"Hmm? Oh, right. He's saying that the Pokemon over there provoked them." Hoopa translated.
Beedrill buzzed again.
"And angered the entire colony."
And another buzz.
"And… stole two eggs."
"Eggs?" Sabrina tilted her head.
"Snubb Snubb!" Snubbull pulled out two eggs, which made them facepalm.
"Still, I can't help but wonder if I've seen this Jigglypuff before." Sabrina wondered.
"Probably because you've played Smash too much." Sora said, which earned a playful glare from his sister. "What?"
"No, this is not Smash Jigglypuff. If that was the case, Jigglypuff would hold her own, but… I'm not getting a Smash vibe to this." Sabrina scratched her chin. "Hmm…"
"Puff? Puff Jiggly?" Jigglypuff wondered as she stood up… and something fell out of her hand. "Jiggly!"
It rolled and went straight to Aria's foot as she picked it up… and it was a marker. "Huh, this Jigglypuff was holding a mar-… Sabrina… you don't think…"
"Oh god… don't me it's THAT Jigglypuff!"
"Uh… what? It's just a Jigglypuff with a marker." Sora said.
"…We seriously need to get you to watch the early episodes of the Pokemon anime…" Sabrina muttered as Aria agreed.
"AAAAAAAAAAH!" Alex suddenly screamed. "YOU MEAN TO TELL ME THAT'S THE JIGGLYPUFF?!" She yelled, as her screaming got Isaac's, Tristina's and Flare's attention… while Alex quickly hugged Jigglypuff, much to her surprise.
"JIGGLY!"
"What's this about a Jigglypuff?" Isaac asked as they saw the marker in Aria's hand, and then at Jigglypuff, then at Aria's hand, then to Jigglypuff… and then it hit them.
"…Well, shit." Tristina muttered.
"Yeeeeep…" Aria nodded.
"Well, since we're all here…" Jacob pulled out some Pokeballs. "I guess you might need these, but I wonder which Pokemon will come to who?" He wondered and then unstrapped them.
"…Skor…" Skorupi quietly walked over to Riku. "Skor!" It smiled.
"Hera! Hera!" Heracross seemed to take a liking to Terra.
"Yan Yan!" Yanma flew over to Kairi… before flying back and snatching the eggs from Snubbull and came back, dropping the eggs in Kairi's arms.
"…Um, anyone got a spare backpack?" Kairi asked.
"Here you go!" Deadpool brought out a bag out of nowhere.
"…I'm not even going to ask." Kairi said, taking it and putting the eggs in there and strapping it to her back.
"Yan Yan!"
"I guess I'll take one of them." Sora said… and then realized all of Jigglypuff's group was surrounding Alex, seeming to take a liking to her. "Wait… does this mean…" He turned straight to Beedrill and Nincada. "OH HELL NO!"
Beedrill hissed, not seeming too thrilled about it either.
"Nin!" Nincada, on the other hand, seemed to like Sora.
Professor Jacob chuckled and gave them each a Pokeball… and an extra one for Sora. "Why an extra one…?" Sora wondered.
"Dude, just take it. You'll thank him later." Sabrina said as Sora took it.
"I never thought I'd be carrying Pokemon…" Riku said. "But, hey, it's cool."
"You know, I think I'll have Jigglypuff out for my walking Pokemon." Alex said.
"Jiggly!" Jigglypuff seemed to like the idea… and then she ran over, jumped and yanked the marker out of Aria's hand. "Puff!" She then took off back to Alex.
"…No need to be so grabby…" Aria muttered.
"You thinking what I'm thinking?" Rose asked her sister.
"Yep." Maria Jr. nodded as they both called Pikachu and Meloetta as their walking Pokemon.
"Pika!"
"Meloetta!"
"I have a feeling we're going to be seeing more Pokemon in the future." Professor Jacob chuckled.
"Just don't bring in another Pokemon to attack me…" Jaune muttered, glaring at Hoopa.
"What did I do?" Hoopa asked.
"Alright, we're all ready to go." Mata Nui walked forward with Kina and Ackar, so they proceeded to pack things up and got ready to head off, unaware of someone spying on them and they took off, as it was some mysterious Agori.
The mysterious Agori stopped running and looked at some Bone Hunters. "The Glatorian are headed for Tajun. You know what to do." He ordered as the Bone Hunters nodded and took off, and then he looked at a mysterious girl leaning on a wall. "Ah, you must be one of Apocalypse's Horsemen. You know what to do."
The girl nodded walked away.
Back with the group…
"Is the cavern in that canyon?" Mata Nui asked.
"No, it's near Tajun, my village. Just beyond the canyon!"
As they were going through the canyon, everyone was on guard, looking around the canyon in complete silence.
"I don't like this!" Ackar spoke up. "This canyon is ideal for an ambush."
"I'm sure Natsu is picking up on something." Happy said.
"I am, but I'm not sure where that scent is coming from." Natsu said.
"Still, we have to be on guard." Aria said as they all nodded at this.
"Please, not even the Bone Hunters are enough to take on three Glatorian and a bunch of outsiders!"
"They're getting bolder! Skrall too! In the past months, they seem to know our every move!" Ackar told her.
"True, but it's not like we have anything worth stealing… well, maybe Mata Nui does." Kina said, which Click just 'clicked' in anger. "I meant his blades, bug face! …I can't believe I'm talking to an insect."
"If anything, I'm pretty Ruby's scythe is worth something." Weiss said.
"I'm sure they won't pick it up. They're probably more interested in that rapier of yours."
"Hey, leave Myrtenaster out of this!"
Mata Nui thought about this before realizing something. "When an enemy know too much, it could only mean one thing… a traitor!"
"I was thinking the same thing… but who?" Ackar asked.
"Who knows?" Sabrina wondered, unaware of a few binoculars looking down at them.
Above the canyon…
BGM: Team Rocket's Secret Strategy (Pokemon)
"So, is anyone going to wonder how in the world we ended up in this world?"
"Oh, it'll just be like the time we kidnapped that family and we wound up in that Hyperdimension world, James. A random portal."
"So I guess we were sucked into that one, huh?"
"WOOOOBBUFFEEEET!"
"I guess." Jessie muttered and looked at something. "Still, we're in luck! That little girl and her Pikachu are within our grasp!"
"Hahaha! I'm getting giddy just thinking about it!"
"Hold on, fellas…" Meowth said. "Take a look behind the girl and the Pikachu."
"Hmm?" Jessie looked over. "It's just a blue haired girl and a spiky haired kid… wait, they look familiar." She said and then closed her eyes, rubbing her chin in thought and then her eyes widened. "It's those twerps!"
"What?!" James exclaimed and took a look, as his eyes widened as well. "You mean those two twerps that caused the boss to be in a body cast for a few months?!"
"Yes, those two!" Jessie growled. "Oh, just thinking about it burns me up!"
"Alright, so shall we go?"
"Yes, we need to take the little girl's Pokemon…and steal the blue haired girl's Pokemon as well!"
It was at this moment they heard rummaging from the Meowth Balloon as they turned to see a few Shadow Heartless and a Bully Dog just looking through stuff. "Hey, you filthy Heartless! Get lost!" Meowth shouted.
"Scram!" James growled as the two of them brought out their Pokeballs… but then a few Detonators showed up and got in front of them.
"We said scram!" Jessie ordered… and then the Detonators lit up as their eyes widened.
End BGM
BOOM!
"What the hell was that?" Aria asked.
"Look!" Ackar pointed up as they saw Team Rocket falling off the cliff.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAH!" They all screamed and faceplanted in front of them, forcing everyone to stop and then looked at them.
"Oh, I hope they're okay." Kina said. "Hey, you guys alright?"
"Ooogh…" Jessie groaned.
"Hey sis? Are they…?" Sora asked.
Sabrina groaned. "Why now?"
"Well, that's one way to make an entrance..." Meowth groaned as they sprang back up, smirks on their faces.
BGM: Team Rocket Motto (Pokemon)
"Prepare for trouble!"
"And make it double!"
"To prote-"
"Uh guys, something's coming up from the ground!" Happy said.
*record scratch*
"Eh?" James wondered as they turned around and saw a humongous… scorpion…thing(?) rising the ground, roaring at them.
BGM: Shaded Truths (Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep)
"Skopio!" Ackar exclaimed.
"AAAAAH!" Team Rocket screamed and hid behind the group.
"G-go on! J-Just destroy that thing for us!" James begged.
"…Oh brother." Sabrina muttered.
Ackar then noticed Bone Hunters coming their way. "We got Bone Hunters coming this way!"
"Yeehaw! We're going to kick some ass!" Sarge cheered as the Blood Gulch Crew, Ackar, Kina, team JNPR, Rosa, N, Yuki, Nishijima, Yuno, Minene, Mai, Makoto, Ansem, Sora, Kairi, Kimomaru, Alex and Penny went for them while the rest got ready to take on the giant Skopio…and Team Rocket hid behind a boulder, and joining them were Horus and Light, probably because the Skopio scared the hell out of them too.
"Let's go, Happy!"
"Aye, sir!"

BGM: Untamable (Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance)
The Skopio roared and tried to use his legs to impale them, but they jumped back as Rose and Maria Jr. went in their HDD forms and Skull Grinder Heart screamed at it, pushing it a little but then used its tail to shoot them, but they jumped back while Happy dropped Natsu in the middle of Youmu's Danmaku bullets… not like he cared through.
"FIRE DRAGON'S…IRON FIST!" He yelled, punching it head on and then jumped back, but then both of his arms burst into flame and had a wicked smirk. "FIRE DRAGON'S BRILLIANT FLAME!" He yelled.
"Happy, carry me up there!" Yang requested.
"Got it!" Happy said and flew her up…. However, he was struggling. "Aaagh…! You're so… top heavy…! I think you're heavier than Lucy…!"
"WHAT'D YOU SAY?!" Yang yelled while Ruby heard this after slashing a leg.
"Oh, here we go…" Ruby sighed and then Happy dropped her, luckily she was above it as Yang let out all of her frustrations from Happy and punched the Skopio repeatedly while Mata Nui looked up on the cliff, and had an idea.
"SKY DRAGON'S WING ATTACK!" Fairy Heart yelled and then landed near Sabrina while Riku used Dark Firaga. "I know you're afraid of your HDD, but you gotta let loose!"
"I have my Drive forms." Sabrina said, closing her eyes and going into her Final Form, gently floating up. "GIVE ME STRENGTH!" She yelled, using Ragnarock.
Fairy Heart sighed. "Your loss."
The Skopio growled and attempted to bite down on Blake, but only got a taste of a clone as Blake was next to it and shot it repeatedly.
"Hesitation Cutting Sword: Slash of Departing from Hesitation!" Youmu shouted and then slashed down on the giant Skopio while Myon fired Danmaku as the Skopio attempted to hit her with a blast from the tail, but she avoided it.
"You know what they say!" Natsu said from above as Happy was carrying him. "The bigger they are… the more fun they are!"
"That's not what they say…" Happy sighed.
"I know that, but that's what I say." Natsu smirked and then free fell to the Skopio. "FIRE DRAGON'S WING ATTACK!"
The Skopio yelled as the Kardas and Kanohi Dragons breathed fire at the beast as it tried to attack them, but the I-Rex rammed into it and swung her tail, and then the Gringott Dragon breathed fire as well.
Mata Nui crawled to the top, looking at his surroundings and then looked at the Skopio, and then at the Bone Hunters as he grinned at this and started to push the giant boulder, but he also looked down. "Hey!" He called out as it caught their attention. "You might want to get out of the way!"
"You heard the man!" Ackar said as he and Kina got back on the vehicle and drove off while Mata Nui pushed the boulders, forcing everyone to run off while Team Rocket had to book it out of there while Fierce Deity Heart and Skull Grinder Heart got Horus and Light and took off, and then it all came down on top of the Skopio and Bone Hunters, crushing them entirely.
End BGM
"Phew! That was a close one." Ruby sighed with relief.
"Indeed." Sarge nodded.
"Couldn't the boulders have crushed Locus too?" Tucker asked, glaring at Locus.
"No need to be so rude." Locus said.
"Well, now with those scary monsters out of the way, we can resume where we left off!" Jessie smirked.
Sabrina sweatdropped. "You're kidding me, right?"
"Now, where were we since we were so rudely interrupted?" Jessie wondered and then snapped her fingers. "To protect the world from devasta-"
Another roar interrupted them.
"OH COME ON!" Jessie yelled as they looked to see Grimm approaching them, and not only were there Beowolves and Ursa Majors, there were a few King Taijitus and Death Stalkers as well.
"Whoa! That's a lot of Grimm!" Ruby exclaimed.
"Lot of…what?" James paled up as they got a closer look and they screamed.
"So, you have a choice." Sabrina said. "Either try and steal our Pokemon and get killed, or put our differences aside and get the hell out of here."
"LIKE I'M NOT GOING TO STICK AROUND FOR THAT ULTIMATUM!" Meowth yelled, climbing on top of I-Rex as Jessie and James got up there too as they quickly got out of there.
"Can't we just destroy all of them?" Natsu asked.
"We could, but we'd be exhausted at that point." Minene said.
"That and the fact that the Bone Hunters kinda wore me out." Yuno admitted.
"For now, we must move to-" Ackar suddenly gasped. "Kina!"
Kina's eyes widened. "Wha?! No!"
"Is that…?" Mata Nui asked.
"Tajun. Kina's village." Ackar replied as they saw the village smoking in the distance, so they quickly picked up the pace.
As soon as they got to the village, Kina immediately hopped out and ran while everyone else looked around at the damage. "Damn…" Tucker muttered.
"You said it." Doc nodded.
"Well, looks like the Agori got away." Ackar quietly said.
"The village… our homes… this is my fault! I should've been here to help! Where's Berix… and Gresh?! We had a training session today and he's just a rookie, he wouldn't have been prepared for-"
"There!" Ackar stopped a panicking Kina as they looked at a figure approaching, and on instinct, they got ready to fight, only the figure emerged and was holding on to his shoulder.
"Gresh!" Kina exclaimed. "He's hurt!"
Gresh, a green Glatorian of the Jungle Tribe, coughed as he kept walking towards them as Mata Nui, Ackar and Natsu went over to help him. "Easy son, easy…" Ackar whispered.
"I'm fine…" Gresh reassured them. "I'll be fine." He said… and then fell on one knee. "Agh…"
"Just shut up and let us help you!" Kina told him as the Wielders summoned their Keyblades, ready to use Curaga on the boy.
Mata Nui looked at the Keyblades, and had a feeling that these blades had healing magic, he thought of something else first. "We need to get out of sight." He said and looked at Kina. "Your cavern."
"Right. The entrance is this way." She said and lead them to the cavern.
"Skrall… Bone Hunters… working together…" Gresh weakly said.
"Impossible. They're rival tribes." Ackar told him.
"No, Kina… I watched them destroy your village…" He said before passing out.
"No…!" Kina exclaimed. "He-"
"He's still alive." Ackar told her.
"But not for long… if that savage sees us!" Mata Nui said, turning around to see a large being walking through the smoke, and they all saw him.
"Tuma? Leader of the Skrall?" Kina wondered.
Ackar silently gasped. "What the boy said is true… Bone Hunters have joined forces with the Skrall!" He growled and then Kina went ahead as they followed her, none of them daring to make a sound, although they had to silence I-Rex and the other pets a few times, but they still were still undetected until Kina found the entrance and they kept on going.
"Wait, these glyphs…" Mata Nui quietly said. "I-"
"Later." Kina interrupted him. "First, we have to take care of Gresh. The Cavern is just ahead." She said as they walked in and saw the cavern in front of them.
"Whoa…" Kairi whispered. It's so pretty!
"Incredible." Ackar said.
"Each chamber contains the elements that were once plentiful on the surface of Bara Magna." Kina explained as they walked through the cavern as everyone was on guard until they got to the middle of the room. "Lay him down over there." She requested as they put him down on the table… and then they heard something, forcing them to get on the offensive.
"Show yourself!" Ackar ordered. "Now!"
A small blue Agori showed himself. "Okay okay okay, look, everything's okay. It's just me!" He said, shyly pressing his fingers together. "Berix…"
"…You filthy little thief!" Kina shouted. "I told you if I ever caught you down here again, I'd-" She swung her weapon, but he ducked and hid behind Mata Nui's leg.
"Hey, this place doesn't belong to you." He said and then looked up at Mata Nui. "H-hey, I'm not a thief, I'm just a collector and-… ooo, I like that mask though, can I have that?" He asked, reaching for it. "I just wanna-"
"Come here you!" Kina growled as she tried to reach for him as he dodged her every move, including crawling under Sabrina's, I-Rex's, Weiss's and Suguha's legs, much to the girl's embarrassment while I-Rex didn't seem to care that much.
"I have a right to collect, y'know!" He said, hiding behind Yui.
"Oh yeah?!" Kina exclaimed, as Berix quickly got away and hid crawled through more legs and climbed over poor Meowth, much to Ackar's annoyance and everyone else's embarrassment… while Isaac had a 'I'm gonna kill you for crawling under my girl's legs' look in his eyes, and Flame and Kirito had the same idea while Tristina, Flare and Asuna were trying not to scream.
"It was just junk that no one wants anyway!"
"Then why do you want it?" Kina asked.
"'Cause I like fixing things! And… I'm really good at it too!" He said proudly. "I mean, come on, who do you think got the lights working, huh?"
"…I was wondering about that." Kina muttered while Click just 'clicked' in annoyance.
"Hey, you've got a-"
"He knows." Everyone told him… well, minus Team Rocket.
"Ever fixed an injured Glatorian?" Mata Nui asked.
"No way! He's not touching Gresh!" Kina protested.
"The boy needs help, Kina." Ackar told him.
"Well, I had to patch myself up a few times." Berix said, extending his arm a few times… and a bolt fell out of his arm. "…Oops." He said in embarrassment.
"Yeah, like all the times you've been pounded on for stealing!" Kina told him.
Berix hopped up on the table. "Collecting!" He corrected. "Maybe I should work on your ears next, Kina!" He said and went right to work on Gresh, with Doc assisting him. "Oh, by the way, on my way here, I ran into three people. They're just like everyone else here… bunch of outsiders."
"What do you mean by-"
"Well, aren't you just a bunch of sore eyes." A voice interrupted Ruby as they turned to see a very familiar man, drinking out of a flask. "Sup?"
"QROW?!" Ruby and Yang yelled.
"UNCLE QROW!" Ruby squealed while Zwei barked happily and then she jumped into her arm with happiness. "Did you miss me?!"
Qrow smiled. "No." He teased.
"Wait, hold on." Weiss said. "If Qrow's here… does that mean you came with us to the Citadel?" Weiss asked.
"I wish." Qrow muttered. "Ever since you guys left, things went downhill quickly." He said. "I'll just say this: Our world? It's gone."
"…Repeat that. What'd you say?" Ruby asked.
"You heard correctly. Remnant is gone. Toast. No more. Our world is destroyed."
BGM: Fifth Laboratory (Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood)
"WHAT?!" Ruby yelled.
"You mean… everything's…" Yang's eyes widened.
"Yep…" Qrow nodded. "Your father, your home, Haven… everything." He said. "The first thing I knew was that the world was ending, I didn't understand it, but I briefly heard 'Malevolent Seven' before I got sucked into this God forsaken world."
"Oh my…" Penny whispered.
"His world wasn't the only one destroyed." A voice said as they turned to see two familiar people as Kimomaru's and Maria Jr's eyes widened.
End BGM
"Saki?! Satoru?!" Kimomaru exclaimed.
BGM: Xion (Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days)
"Hello." Saki greeted. "Our world was destroyed too."
"We heard "Malevolent Seven" before our world was torn to shreds. We were the only ones that were sucked into this world and met Qrow." Satoru explained.
"Our world's been destroyed… tch, I shouldn't be surprised since it was nothing but war between humans and Monster Rats." Kimomaru muttered. "And yet, I am… no one should have their world destroyed."
"Right." Saki nodded and saw Maria Jr. "Oh thank god you're alright." She said.
Maria Jr. said nothing, but was brought to tears and then quickly hugged them and then quickly wiped them away, smiling, but was at a loss for words until she eventually found them and looked at Sabrina and Riku. "Hmm?" Saki looked at them. "Oh, you must be Isaac's and Rose's parents."
"And Maria Jr's too!" Sabrina added, giggling a little.
Maria Jr. looked at them, and then found her words. "Mom, dad… meet my uncle Satoru and Aunt Saki!"
"Uncle?" Satoru asked.
"Aunt?" Saki asked, blushing a little.
Yay, more family members! Rose thought.
"It's affection!" Maria Jr. smiled. "After all, I've been thinking of you when you helped me find my real identity!" She said. "I thank you for that!"
"Well, you're welcome, swee…tie…?! What's with the wings?!" Saki exclaimed, panicking.
"It's a long story." Riku said… and then Deadpool whispered in their ears.
"Dead?!" Satoru exclaimed.
"Dead, alive… I'm not really sure. But it's not bothering me." Maria Jr. giggled.
Saki sighed with relief. "Well, I guess we shouldn't worry about it." She said and then smiled at Sabrina. "I guess we're part of your family now."
"I guess." Sabrina laughed. "I mean, I have two knuckleheads as part of the family too." She said in a teasing voice, referring to Yuno and Minene.
"What do you mean by 'knuckleheads'?!" Minene asked, glaring at her.
"Explosive happy… yandere, should we go on?" Aria asked.
"…Fair point." Yuno chuckled. "I guess Sabrina rubbed off on us…"
"Now you're noticing?" Sabrina laughed as they all laughed at this, while Team Rocket looked at each other.
End BGM
"Sooo, how many family members does she have?" Jessie asked.
"Let's see…" James started counting. "There's her brother, and I'm assuming he's married to that red head, so that would make her the sister-in-law… and that blue head would be her niece…" He said. "There's that silver headed boy, her son, that little girl with Pikachu, that little red headed loud mouth…"
"I think I heard the masked man and the professor looking guy welcoming those two to the family." Meowth said.
"Right… and then there's that explosive happy woman, the pink haired psycho… the two twin girls, the two boys with the girls…" Jessie counted… and then they heard Yui affectionately calling Sabrina 'Aunt Sabrina'. "So that little girl, the boy, and the orange haired girl… and possibly that other girl too."
"So in total, that would make…" James started counting again. "One, two…" His eyes widened at the end. "Twenty-one…!"
Isaac overheard this and chuckled. "Well, I'll be marrying Tristina soon, and then adding Aria and Terra… not to mention Flare is marrying Flame soon, so there's that."
James sweatdropped. "Twenty-two…" He paled up. "Twenty-five!"
They paled up… for they knew one thing…
They were messing with a huge family.
Natsu, at this instant, heard something and turned around. "Uh, guys? We got something!" He said as they turned… although Ruby didn't bother since she was too busy crying over the loss of her world.
It was this moment, a small blue bat smacked right into Sora. "AGH!" Sora yelled while the others approached them.
"Oh, a Zubat, Drilbur, Hippopotas, Gligar, Rhyhorn and Swinub." Sabrina said as the ground Pokemon looked at Terra and went over to him, as if they liked him… while Zubat seemed to be interested in Sora.
"Swine! Swine!"
"Gligar! Gli!"
"Hippo!"
"Drill!"
"…You might need these." Professor Jacob said as Terra used it on them, and several clicks later, it was his.
Sabrina looked at Zubat and had an idea and whispered it to Professor Jacob. "…You're rotten… and I like it!" He chuckled, handing her a Pokeball as she took it and quietly told Rose to use Thunderbolt on Zubat.
"Um… Pikachu… use Thunderbolt…?" Rose asked as Pikachu was also confused, but she did it anyway.
Zubat screeched in pain and collapsed, and then Sabrina threw it… and three clicks later, Zubat was caught.
"I believe this belongs to you!" Sabrina smiled innocent to Sora.
"…Gee… thanks…" Sora said unenthusiastically.
"…You're a rotten sister." Aria said.
"Hey, it's what I do." Sabrina chuckled.
"Oh! That reminds me." Professor Jacob pulled out two Mega Stones for Terra and Sora, and two Mega Rings. "This is for Heracross." He said.
"So, I can Mega Evolve Zubat?" Sora asked.
"Pokemon who haven't fully evolved yet can't use Mega Evolution."
"Nincada?"
"What did I just say?"
Sora's eye twitched. "You gotta be kidding me…" He muttered as he sighed, sending out Beedrill to place the Mega Stone on him, although Beedrill wasn't so happy with him, but waited until he was done… aaaand use Twineedle on him. "OOOOOOW!"
"Keep him AWAY from me!" Jaune said as Sora put him away.
"Hera…" Heracross sweatdropped, as he seemed content with a Mega Stone on him.
Mata Nui didn't seem to pay attention to the Pokemon, as he kept looking around. "Something wrong?" Kina asked.
"I dunno… there's a familiarity about this place." Mata Nui said.
"It must've been created by the old rulers of Bara Magna." Ackar guessed.
"Great Beings…" Kina grumbled.
"The Great Beings were here?" An intrigued Mata Nui asked.
"Great destroyers is more like!" Kina said.
"Why do you speak against the Great Beings?"
"Because they wrecked our world, that's why!" Kina pointed to the Forest Chamber. "This was Bara Magna before the Great Beings left us here to rot!" She said.
"You have no proof of this, Kina." Ackar said while Mata Nui had a confused look on his face. "They could of just as easily been buried in the ruins."
"No. The Great Beings did not fall here." Mata Nui spoke up. "That much I am sure of!" He walked over to a wall with a symbol on it. "What is beyond this?"
"No idea, never been able to get it open." Kina said.
"Yeah, me neither, but I bet there's something good in there!" Berix grinned while Doc was still healing Gresh.
"Keep dreaming!" Kina scolded. "And pay attention to what you're doing, thief!"
Mata Nui walked down to it and almost put his hand on it. "I recognize this symbol…" He said and his hand got closer to it, and his mask started to glow, forcing to move his hand away, but then he got curious and then put his hand on it. The symbols glowed, and then the wall moved down, causing Mata Nui to bring out his sword, which made the others get ready, but it revealed another room.
So, everyone but Berix and Doc went down the stairs… and Qrow was giving a crying Ruby a piggy-back ride. "Don't worry, I have a feeling we'll get out world back." Somehow…
They soon reached the bottom of the stairs, looking at all the strange symbols. "What is all of this?" Ackar wondered.
"A room full of strange symbols is my guess." Natsu said, which made Ackar give him a 'Thank you captain obvious' look. "What?"
"It looks like this could've been some sort of… laboratory." Mata Nui mused.
"Probably full of mad scientists. Just look at Plague Knight and Even." Nora said.
"They're not mad scientists." Youmu told her. "…Well, Plague Knight maybe… but not Even."
Mata Nui suddenly gasped, catching their attention. "It cannot be!" He exclaimed as they ran to him.
"What's wrong? It looks like you've seen a ghost." Ackar told him, which made Youmu pale and tense up and her eyes looked at some of the Pokeballs that contained Ghost Pokemon.
Oh god… Youmu thought.
"I have." Mata Nui said as they looked at a wall that he was looking at, a drawing of a huge robot… a robot similar to when he used to be in one.
"…You know that thing?" Kina asked.
"Yes, a gigantic mechanical being, just like the one now enslaving my people."
Natsu whistled. "That's one gigantic robot."
"You said it." Weiss nodded.
"Wait! You think the Great Beings had something to do with it!" Kina gave a glare to Mata Nui.
"No, the responsibility lies on my shoulders alone. This place… these symbols… we're on the right track."
A few minutes later…
Two Bone Hunters were looking around, looking for any survivors… completely unaware of Aria sneaking up behind them and smacking their heads together to knock them out. "Hey, Erza's right… this is fun!" He said, which made Natsu sweatdrop at this.
"I get the next two. It's not fair that you and Ackar got to them first." Kina grumbled.
"You can have them." Aria said.
"Anyway, we need to move. We need to warn the other villages of the Skrall and Bone Hunters uniting."
"And that we have a traitor on the inside." Kina said as a newly replenished Gresh joined them and Berix as well.
"How are you holding up?" Mata Nui asked.
"I'm fine, thanks to Berix and… whoever this guy is." He said, looking at Doc.
"You can just call me Doc." Doc grinned.
"Alright… but I could use a new weapon." He looked back at Mata Nui. "Skrall shredded my blade."
"Get in line." Kina muttered, looking at her weapon.
Berix walked over to her. "I might be able to-"
Kina moved her weapon away. "Don't even think about it!"
"I am sorry for your weapons, but I must continue my journey." Mata Nui said.
This isn't about you, you know. Sabrina thought.
"Wh-what?! You're not going to help us?!" Gresh exclaimed in surprise.
"…I have my own battles to fight."
"Um, trust me, Mata Nui… I've seen you fight. You're not ready." Ackar told him. "The other worlders may have a shot, but… stay, and I'll teach you everything I know." He said before remembering something. "Wait, what you did to the Vorox tail and… Click. Could it work with these?" He wondered, pulling out his sword.
"I don't know. This mask gave me new life, but I still don't completely understand its power. I think it only works on what are… or were, alive."
"No problem! Most Glatorian weapons are made from bone or claw." Berix said.
"Yeah, that's not creepy at all." Tucker muttered.
"Collected a few, have you?" Kina asked suspiciously.
"Um, well… I…"
"It's worth a try." Mata Nui said and took Ackar's sword. "Together, as one mind…" He whispered and the sword glowed, blinding them while Deadpool pulled out random sunglasses.
"It's working…" Kina said in amazement and Ackar took his weapon back, looking at it with an added flame… and then it glowed and fire shot out of it… which snapped Ruby out of her funk.
"Whoa!" Ackar exclaimed.
"Cool…!" Ruby drooled over it.
"Aaaand she's back!" Yang grinned.
Natsu's stomach growled. "Happy! Get me close to that flame!"
"Aye, sir!" Happy said, picking him up as Natsu got close to it.
"Of course! Fire is your elemental power! The Mask of Life has simply ignited it! You are a true Toa!" He said, and then he was alarmed to what Natsu was doing, but even more surprised when Natsu started sucking it up.
"What in the name of…?!" Ackar wondered.
"I'm a fire dragon slayer! I eat fire all the time!" Natsu grinned and then wiped his mouth. "Ah, now I got a fire in my belly!"
Ackar blinked before shrugging it off and looked at Mata Nui. "Thank you, friend." He said, putting his hand on his shoulder.
Mata Nui glanced at the hand. "…Strange. I have worn many titles, been called a lot of things… but never 'friend'." He said, putting his hand on Ackar's shoulder.
"Me next!" Kina exclaimed.
Later…
"Oh, unfair!" Gresh complained as they were traveling. "I score this clawed-out new blade, Mata Nui tells me I have awesome Toa powers, but none of you won't let me test 'em out!"
"You mean like… THIS?" Kina jumped up high into the air, aimed at a rock and unleashed a torrent of water at the rock… which lifted it up high in the air… aaaaand it came down and slammed into the ground, blocking their path in the process.
"…Aw come on! Just a little test?" Gresh asked.
"Patience…is the first lesson in becoming a great Glatorian." Ackar said.
"Oh, I think this is pretty great!" Kina exclaimed, twirling her weapon around and firing another stream of water… right at Jaune as his eyes widened and Pyrrha got ready to save him, but Ackar intervened and activated his sword to block the water, and then he used his fire to send it to Kina, but it was more of a stand-off.
"Are we seriously doing it here?" Aria asked.
"I guess." Sabrina scratched the back of her head, not sure what to think.
"I guess it's a stand off!" Kina said, until a stream of wind deactivated both powers as they turned to look at Gresh.
"Ha ha ha! Looks like I can blow both of you away!" Gresh grinned.
"Better yet, why not combine them?" Kina suggested.
"ENOUGH!" Ackar yelled. "There's more to winning than fancy weapons! And let me tell you, Mata Nui here isn't the only one who's in need of a few tips."
Berix laughed. "He told the both of you!" He laughed… and then Kina pushed him off. "Ow…"
"Stop it, both of you! Pay attention and you might actually learn something… like THIS!" He yelled, suddenly slashing down at Mata Nui who attempted to block and was pushed back, stumbling a little and slammed into Kina. "Learn to read your opponents next move before it happens."
Kina groaned and then saw Click on her knee. "I'm warning you… I'll bite back!" She threatened, and then Ackar picked up the little guy. "Study their fighting style, find their weakness… then… use it against them!" He said and tossed Click to Mata Nui's hand, who then crawled to his shoulder and angrily clicked at him. "…If you can!"
Everyone chuckled at this… until Natsu abruptly stopped chuckling. "Natsu?" Happy asked. "What's wrong?"
"…A new scent… and I'm not liking this." Natsu said.
Riku clenched his fists. "This one reeks of darkness." He growled.
"I'm still kinda jealous that you can smell the darkness but I can't…" Terra muttered.
"Oh, give it a rest." Aria said, but they were on guard… until suddenly Tristina screamed as they turned to see an arm pressed against her neck.
"What the…?!" Isaac exclaimed.
"Hey, how's it going?"
"A-are you… me…?"
BGM: Shaded Truths
"I'm your darkness, you idiot."
"Is that you as a Heartless?!" Youmu exclaimed.
"Close. I'm just his anti-self. Remember that… if you're stupid to realize it."
"What do you want with her?" Isaac growled. "You want ME… not her!"
"Oh, I'm sure she'll want me after she knows the truth." Anti-Isaac smirked as he backed up and karate chopped the back of her neck to knock her out, and then picked her up. "Take care, loser." He said, and then taking off after creating a dark explosion and then running off.
"HEY! GET BACK HERE!" Isaac yelled as he ran after him.
Sabrina growled and gripped Heart of Gensokyo tightly. "Don't worry, Tristina… we'll get you back." She said and took off and joining her was Riku, Rose, Maria Jr, Aria, Terra, Sora, Kairi, Natsu, Happy, and the Disney trio.
The CPU Candidates looked at each other and then at the group. "The rest of you stay here! We'll go help them!" Nepgear told them as the four of them took off as well.
End BGM
Meanwhile, at Planeptune…
There was a knock on the door of the Basilicom. "Coming~!" Neptune exclaimed in a sing songy voice and opened the door to see Mavis and Gildarts. "Hey, it's the ghosty girl from Fiore!" She grinned and then saw Gildarts. "Wait, are you THE Gildarts who single handedly defeated Grimore Heart?!"
Gildarts sweatdropped. "I wouldn't say 'single handedly'..."
"Oh, don't be so modest!" Neptune giggled.
Noire walked over. "What are you guys here for?"
"We're here to come get you." Mavis explained. "You see, there's an eviller group that's way more evil than the Legion of Darkness, the Malevolent Seven."
"Uh-huh..." Neptune nodded.
"And we've come to get you since we need all the help we can get." Mavis explained.
Neptune's eyes sparkled. "ARE YOU SAYING WHAT I THINK YOU'RE SAYING?!"
Blanc stood up. "You're saying... you want us to help the Wielders and the Heroes of Light?"
"Indeed." Mavis nodded.
"WAHOO! I KNEW ONE DAY I'D RETURN IN THE SEQUEL! I JUST NEED TO GO TO THE ULTRA DIMENSION AND GRAB SADIE! SHE'S GONNA BE THRILLED!" Neptune screamed in delight while fist pumping. "MY SIS NEEDS MY HELP!"
"And what about our Ultra Dimension counterparts?" Noire asked. "They'll probably want to come too."
"Right, thanks for reminding me!" Neptune nodded.
"What about Peashy?" Vert asked.
"Her too! I might as well get Compa and IF!"
"Hey, what's the commotion?" An unfamiliar voice asked as an unfamiliar girl walked over. Said girl was fair-skinned with red-orange eyes and long, sanguine hair worn in pigtails located near the bottom of her head, held by hair that has been knotted. It has a few black clasps and a pink gradience nearing the bottom. She had a very small black tube top under an opened white jacket with a bright orange, black, and white tie. She also wore a pair of pleated shorts worn with a pair of thin black suspenders, and open to reveal her orange underwear, and also black fingerless gloves over a pair of orange and black sleeves, matching socks, black shoes and a pair of black leg warmers with buttons on them.
"...Who's this?" Mavis asked.
"Oh this? She's Uzume Tennouboshi, a CPU from the Zero Dimension."
"There's a third?"
"Yep!" Uzume grinned. "Nice to meet'cha! I'm Uzume Tennouboshi, a CPU of the Zero Dimension of Planetune!"
"Apparently, she represents the Sega Dreamcast." Neptune said.
"The Sega...Dreamcast...?" Gildarts asked, tilting his head.
"Sega..." Mavis folded her arms. "Isn't that what company Sonic is from?"
"Bingo!" Uzume grinned. "Now what are we waiting for? Let's go kick some Malevolent Seven ass!"
"First things first, grab Sadie, Peashy, Compa, IF and the other Ultra Dimension CPUs and we're off to go save the universe!" Neptune exclaimed. "...Hang on, do you have any more stops?"
"Not that I can think of." Mavis said.
"Alrighty! LET'S GO!" Neptune yelled and took off with Mavis, Gildarts and Uzume.
And Anti-Isaac has made his appearance to everyone!
Let's see how this unfolds in the next chapter!
