BGM: Scanea Felix (Puella Magi Madoka Magica)
"Easy now…" Eirin said as she was right behind Sabrina, helping her getting back on her feet and helping her walk again.
"I didn't think it'd take this long for me to get my legs working again." Sabrina admitted.
Eirin chuckled. "Believe me, I was hoping it'd be quick too, but hey… it's been two weeks and you're getting better."
"Yeah."
After a few more minutes of leaning on to a railing, she looked at Eirin. "Alright… I'm gonna try it again."
"Alright." She nodded and let go of Sabrina as she stood there for a few seconds, remembering the times she tried to walk without the crutches and fell down, but Eirin was right there. In fact, Riku was there as well.
She took a deep breath and took a step, then another step, and then another…
Finally, she was walking like her normal self as if nothing happened as she smiled. "Oh hell yeah!"
Eirin smiled. "That's more like it… but I don't recommend running for a little while. I know you're a fast runner, but just to be on the safe side…"
"Yeah." She nodded and proceeded to walk, although Riku was right next to her, ready to catch her if things went south fast. "Thanks, hon."
"Anytime." He smiled as they both held hands while they walked.
With Kai…
"You never told me you were a nurse." A voice caught Kai's attention as she turned around to see Vert.
"Well, I've always wanted to be one." Kai smiled as the two girls hugged.
"Of course, when we reunited a few weeks ago, you failed to mention about becoming a nurse."
"I did? I guess it slipped my mind." She said as they proceeded to walk together and smiled, talking about various things and walking past the couch where Hina was relaxing and resting her head on the couch.
It was then a shadow overlapped her and opened her eyes to see Noire, causing her to scream and sat back up. "What the hell?!" She exclaimed.
"Sorry… I was just trying to get a good look at your metal band." Noire admitted.
"Oh…" Hina put her hand over her heart. "How come you didn't look at it before?"
"I did but…I just wanted to have a closer look." She said and then sat down, and then leaned forward, looking closely on the cybernetic eye and the scar. "Oh… Hina…"
"It's fine, really…" Hina said. "You get used to it after a while… though I still feel like a freak with this thing on from time to time." She said. And the anxiety attacks aren't helping much…
Noire sighed. "Had I known that your eye would be taken out by the Meta… I would've helped you and tried to prevent your eye from being taken out."
Hina put her hand on her shoulder. "Noire… this isn't your fault… you had to look over Lastation anyway."
"I know…" Noire nodded and hugged her. "Still… I wanted to sneak away from Lastation and helped you defeat him…"
"Oh, you told her about me too?" Sheila asked.
"Hey, she could tell something else was bugging me besides being tortured… so I told her everything."
"Makes sense."
Noire sighed. "I couldn't stop worrying after you left our world… I wanted to help you… I didn't know it'd get this bad."
"Like I said, it's not your fault." Hina told her.
"I know… but I feel like it is." Noire muttered.
Later, with Maria…
Maria walked out of the hot springs, humming to herself and then felt a tug on her shirt. "Hmm?" She turned her head to see Peashy. "Oh hey, Peashy... what's up?"
"Can I... hang out with you like we usually did at the Basilicom?" Peashy asked. "I'm lonely..."
Maria smiled. "Sure, sweetie!" She said as they proceeded to go to the couch and they both sat down, and then Peashy cuddled into her as Maria closed her eyes and leaned her head, both of them in silence for a few minutes.
"Maria..."
"Hmm?"
"I... I always thought of you as a mother..."
BGM: A Tiny Love (Sword Art Online)
Maria looked at her. "You do?"
"Yes..." Peashy nodded. "You were always so kind to me... you took care of me... and even when I came back from Rei... you still took care of me... and I always there when you were sad in our world, even when I was sad too... you were always there."
"That's true..."
"I'm sorry for... kissing you like that in our world..."
"Whoa, there's no need to apologize for that... I was just blinded by the fact I needed to move on my own, when I needed Paolo the most..."
"Yeah... but even then, I always thought of you as my own mother..."
"Peashy..." Maria was tearing up.
"C-can I... be your-"
"You don't have to say it sweetheart. I always had a feeling i'd be adopting you."
Peashy's eyes lit up. "You mean...?!"
"Yes."
Peashy smiled. "Mommy!" She hugged her tightly, and then they heard laughing as they saw Paolo walking up to them.
"We're not even married yet and we already have a child." He said with a smile.
"We sure do."
"I always thought of you two as a mother and daughter every time I looked at you both... minus the... one part. I'm still amazed you're still willing to talk about it."
"It's not quite as sensitive to me as the others." Maria admitted.
Peashy giggled and looked at Paolo. "Daddy!"
Paolo chuckled and sat down next to her. "Come here, you!" He said as Peashy hugged him too before cuddling next to Maria once again.
A little far away from them, Aqua and Lea saw this along with Kai and Hina.
"I think I'm gonna cry..." Aqua said, already tearing up.
"She gets it from you, you know!" Lea said with a teasing smile.
"Oh... sh-shut up!" Aqua teared up while Lea laughed.
"That's so like her." Kai said.
"Yeah, she's always been a motherly figure to everyone." Hina said.
Kai nodded. "We're an interesting pair of best friends. You're the badass, I'm the woman who can control Unversed while also being a nurse and Maria's the motherly type."
"That's us for you!" Hina smiled as the two friends walked away to give her some privacy as Rei walked by and saw this.
"That... is so adorable." Rei said with a smile.
"I love you mommy!" Peashy smiled.
"I love you too." Maria giggled.
"Aww!" Neptune squealed. "P-Ko is adopted! OH! THAT'S SO CUTE!"
Nepgear giggled. "It sure is!"
Vert chuckled. "Maria will be a great mother to her."
Blanc glanced at Noire. "Hmph, this is nice. Miss Tsundere is crying."
"I-I'm not crying! I just got something in my eye!" Noire lied.
"Sure you do." Blanc smiled a little.
End BGM
Later, with Vito…
Vito walked around and spotted Peach leaning on the doorway of the mechanics shop. "Uh, mom? What are you waiting around for?"
"Oh, just waiting for them to finish up on Kai."
Vito raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean?"
"Oh, you'll see. I also made her this cute nurse outfit!" She giggled.
Vito's eyes widened. "And you didn't show it to me?!"
"I thought it'd be best if she wore it. She's currently finishing up in there." She said, and then Kai walked out.
"Hey there, cutie!" Kai greeted as Vito jawdropped while Peach smiled. "So, what do you think?" She did a cute pose as she was wearing a… very revealing nurse outfit.
Basically, her nurse outfit is similar to an MMO nurse from one of the Nexon games. It is red but open in the front to expose her cleavage, but it's covered by a dark blue bra in the colors of the Flood Unversed. The nurse hat is in the color style of the Hareraiser with the Mario Smash Bros symbol in the middle of it, her gloves are pink and the boots will be black. She's also wearing a purple toolkit strapped to her outfit with the Unversed symbol on it.
"What do you think?"
"M-Mama mia…" Vito could only say as Daisy walked by and noticed this.
"Peach… um… you made that?"
"Normally, I make something modest but Kai wanted something that was revealing. Hey, I was willing to try something new!" Peach smiled.
Daisy sweatdropped. "I see…" She said as Vanitas and Xion came by and saw this.
"…Oh my god…" Xion looked on in shock.
"I've heard of revealing nurse outfits, but… never thought I'd see our own daughter wear one." Vanitas said. "Still… she looks kinda good in it."
"She does, but… huh… I was thinking she'd wear something a bit more… warmer." Xion said.
"Warmer?" Daisy looked at her. "…Oh, you mean like in the winter time?"
"Yeah, pretty much."
"So, what were you doing in there?" Vito asked after finding his words.
"Oh, just a little something I like to call… changing my HDD look." She said, transforming into her new and improved Unversed Heart form. "I mean, why not?"
Unversed Heart's new look basically resembles the Hyperdimension's Green Heart, as she still has her golden eyes with the Unversed symbol for the pupils and a ponytail. However, her ponytail goes down to her waist and is colored pink, her bangs are fringe normally seen above her eyes and her bangs are thick and caress her face, complete with wearing her nurse hat. Her attire is a black bikini style bodysuit that is open in the middle, exposing her stomach and underside of her breasts. Her sleeves are detached and are red and blue in the entirety. Her gauntlets are long and shaped like the ones wore by Black Heart and Green Heart, covering the majority of her forearms with ease. Her toolkit is still strapped to her in HDD. She has an Unversed Symbol on her outfit located on her chest.
"So what do you think?" Unversed Heart asked as Vert came by and noticed this, pulling out a ten out of ten card as she giggled at this before she turned back to normal.
"I… I… I love this new you…" Vito could only say.
"Thanks." Kai smiled and then kissed him as she took him away as he was basically entranced by her new look.
"Ah, young love!" Vert giggled while high fiving Peach.
"…Okaaaaaay then…" Daisy blinked as Vanitas and Xion are happy that Kai is happy with her new attire along with Vito… they just kinda wished Kai's outfit came with something warm during the colder temperatures.
…Okay, that was mostly Xion, but Vanitas was thinking it too.
Later… again…
Aria walked near the Nature Reserve where she saw Lea, Aqua, Roxas, Namine, Vanitas and Xion taking care of the Pokemon, but she was more than likely looking at her brother trying to stop Serviper from destroying Zangoose who was busy eating an apple.
"Hey bro…" She walked over to him. "I'm just wondering something."
"What is it?" Vanitas asked.
"How the hell did you get Serviper on your team?"
"Well…"
Flashback!
Xion sighed and then sat down on a bench, looking at the sky. "Do you think we'll ever defeat the Malevolent Seven?"
"I'm pretty sure we will." Vanitas said, wrapping his arm around his wife. "There's no way we're backing down now."
"Right." Xion nodded, leaning her head on his shoulder.
Just then, a certain Serviper slithered its way near the two and then noticed them as it worked its way up between the two heads and studied their hair.
Vanitas's hair was too...spiky.
Xion's hair however...
Serviper licked its chops. It looked just right! It opened its mouth... and then...
CHOMP!
Xion didn't scream... but then...
RIIIIIIIP!
A tuft of hair was in its mouth.
"AAAAAAAAAAGH!" Xion screamed as Vanitas quickly turned to see the Serviper looking innocent, giving him a 'I didn't do it!' look... but the hair was in its mouth.
"You... YOU STUPID SNAAAAAKE!" Vanitas screamed and hopped over the bench as Xion noticed Vanitas beating up on poor Serviper in a fighting dust cloud as Xion then pulled out some kind of make-up mirror in her pocket and looked at herself, grimacing at the bald spot that Serviper created.
"Okay, where's a baseball cap when you need one?" She wondered, glancing over to see her husband dropping a KO'd Serviper... and then putting him in a Pokeball.
"You okay?" He asked.
"Yeah." She nodded.
End Flashback...
Aria sweatdropped. "Why am I getting a Pokemon anime vibe to this?"
"Hey, he deserved it." Vanitas said.
"And Zangoose?"
"It's a long story…"
With Xion...
"There, what do you think, baby?" Cancer asked as Xion looked at herself in the mirror, looking like her normal self again.
"Now that's what I'm talking about!" Xion smiled.
Lucy giggled and then dismissed Cancer. "I'm glad you got to me first without no one else noticing it."
"Yeah." She nodded with a smile.
With Marisa…
Marisa hummed to herself. "I wonder how Hina's doing with that Keyblade of hers?" She wondered and then smiled. "I'm sure she's doing well with that... in fact, I believe it's far superior than that lame-ass Heart of Gensokyo." She chuckled and kept walking.
Then, in the corner of her eye when she was near the Training Arena, she noticed a Keyblade coming right for her as her eyes widened as she quickly used her Hakkero to transform into a sword and then quickly blocked it as the Keyblade then landed in front of her as her eyes widened... and it was the Heart of Gensokyo.
"You know, I don't appreciate how you can insult my Keyblades like that."
Marisa chuckled. "Well, I just think with all the overpowered Keyblades, I just feel your Keyblade is kind of pathetic."
Sabrina re-summoned Heart of Gensokyo. "Yeah well, I've been meaning to kick your ass with this thing ever since you dissed it back at Radiant Garden. Unfortunately, I had to get my legs working again…"
"So, you heard that little thing, huh?" Marisa smirked.
"I sure did. I'm pretty sure anything you can say out of your cocky mouth won't get you into trouble, miss Master Sparks everything without a second thought."
Marisa raised an eyebrow. "You trying to start something?"
"What does it look like?"
"Come on now, you have to do better than that."
"Hmph, well, judging by your new outfit... I say it looks like you-"
"Don't even..."
Sabrina smirked. "Found it in in the trash."
"Are you saying that my outfit is trashy?!"
"Compared to that other tacky outfit of yours, yes."
Marisa's sword switched back to the Hakkero, aiming directly at her. "Woman...if it's a fight you want... THEN YOU'RE GOING TO FUCKING GET IT!" She yelled, unleashing a Master Spark directly in her face.
BGM: Septette for the Dead Princess (Touhou 10.5: Scarlet Weather Rhapsody)
Sabrina, however, rolled out of the way and ran straight to Marisa as she aimed directly at her, her Hakkero changing to the pistol and shooting her, but Sabrina blocked it several times as she jumped into the air and used Sonic Blade, knocking Marisa away and using Thundaga.
"Alright, let's see if you like this!" Marisa said, changing it to the Rocket Launcher and firing it directly at Sabrina, but she used Reflega, knocking it back to her as her eyes widened in shock, forcing her to dodge and then fired Danmaku at her, but Sabrina quickly dove to a wall and then jumped up, her hand touching the wall, and thinking back to what she did in her Mark of Mastery, she quickly used Flowmotion and then spun directly to her before slamming the Keyblade down, making a shockwave and using Triple Firaga.
Sabrina chuckled and then ran over, getting ready to hit Marisa but Marisa quickly used Final Spark on her and knocking Sabrina to a wall. "Gotcha!"
"Is that..." Sabrina fell on one knee and got up. "Is that the best you got?" She asked, closing her eyes and transforming into Nightmare Heart and then disappeared.
"Disappearing into the shadows? That's nothing more than being cowardly! Show yourself!"
She heard footsteps and quickly turned around and fired Danmaku, but she soon realized that she hit nothing and then looked around before being tackled to the ground by Nightmare Mangle. "Argh...! Get off...!"
She then saw feet approaching her as she looked up to see Nightmare Heart aiming Heart of Gensokyo at her. "This doesn't have to end this way. Just admit defeat."
"Like... hell I will...!" Marisa said. "You're forgetting..." She pressed a button on her Hakkero. "...That I'm the badass witch of Gensokyo!" She said as it turned back into the Rocket Launcher and shot the ground, creating an explosion that sent the two of them flying and Marisa got back up, switching it to the Heavy Blade and running over, and slashing Nightmare Heart, but she blocked it.
"I should've known you would've tried something like that." Nightmare Heart said. "Predictable coming from you."
"Why I oughta...!" She growled as she jumped back and then pulled out a Spell Card. "Magic Space: Asteroid Belt!"
Nightmare Heart quickly used Reflega and then ran over while summoning Nightmare Bonnie to aid her as Nightmare Bonnie jumped up in the air as Marisa aimed directly at him, ready to use Master Spark, but Nightmare Heart tackled her to the ground and slashed repeatedly with her claws... and ripping up her outfit, which angered Marisa and using Starlight Typhoon at point blank range and kicking her off and then quickly shot Nightmare Heart a few times until she disappeared, and then reappeared behind her as Next Nightmare and slashed her away with Heart of Gensokyo still gripped in her hands.
"I don't care what you say, Heart of Gensokyo ain't what it used to be! And I don't give a shit if it's your signature Keyblade, it'll always be weak!"
"Then obviously, you had your eyes closed when I had this thing equipped."
"Alright, THAT'S IT!" Marisa yelled. "I'll Master Spark your ass off for that!" She said, and then using Double Spark but Next Nightmare flew up in the air and proceeded to summon Golden Freddy as Golden Freddy's head latched itself off and started to bite Marisa who tried to fend him off until Next Nightmare flew down and scissor kicked her to the ground before using Magnega to pick her up, and then slashed her away.
"Hmph, pathetic..."
"RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" Marisa screamed. "BLAZING STAR!"
"Argh!" Next Nightmare hit the wall as she fell on both knees, and her HDD disappeared.
"Who's the pathetic one now? Face it, this match is over."
"That's what you think..." Sabrina muttered, starting to glow.
End BGM
"Oh? Going into your Drive forms? What are they going to do?"
She chuckled darkly. "This is no Drive form..."
Marisa's eyes widened. Why is she sounding demonic?
"Tell me something... have you ever heard of someone named... Spawn?"
"No...?"
"You're about to..."
BGM: L'Impeto Oscuro (Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance)
Sabrina got back up, wiping the blood from her mouth and aiming Heart of Gensokyo at her, changing into her Spawn form.
"What the hell is that?!"
"It's my Spawn form... just a little something I've picked up after... accepting that the darkness isn't as bad as I thought."
"Tch, should I be impressed?" Marisa asked as she fired Danmaku at her, but Spawn Sabrina quickly avoided it and then slashed her repeatedly and then darkness formed in her hand.
"Dark Firaga." She calmly said, throwing it at Marisa as her eyes widened and she quickly avoided it.
"So you're a dark freak now?!" I gotta take her out... this is NOT the Sabrina I know! She thought. "Star Sign: Dragon Meteor!"
Spawn Sabrina quickly avoided it and then snapped her fingers, as a dark explosion erupted behind Marisa as she screamed in agony and then she ran over and used Aerial Slam on her before jumping back and using Strike Raid on her, but Marisa quickly ducked... but didn't dodge a stream of darkness at her, pinning her to a wall. "Don't you see, Marisa? The Heart of Gensokyo can just be as powerful like the other Keyblades."
"Shut up… you freak!"
"Freak? Is that really the best insult you can throw at me? Why, I can tell that you're shaking! It gives me such pleasure seeing you cower."
Shit... what is WITH her?! Does this thing corrupt her or something?! Marisa thought, unleashing a Master Spark at Spawn Sabrina, but she fired back with a powerful dark stream of her own, colliding into the Master Spark, and it seems to be evenly matched, until the Master Spark slowly started to move towards Marisa. Oh no... She thought and quickly put her fingers on her head. Hina, I need you to come here for a second!
What for?
Just get over here!
Okay.
Hina started to run towards Marisa, and then seeing her getting engulfed by the dark stream from Spawn Sabrina. "What the hell?!"
"Hmm?" Spawn Sabrina looked at Hina. "Stay out of this. I don't want you to get hurt from this."
Marisa panted, looking weaker and then looked at Hina. "Hina... g-give me Lightning Hakkero!"
"But, you're not a Keyblade Wielder..."
"I KNOW I'M NOT, JUST GIVE IT TO ME!"
"...Okay..." She nodded, summoning it and then used Strike Raid, and then Marisa caught it, who then used Curaga on herself... but then got in a battle position.
End BGM
"You honestly think you can take me out with that thing? You don't even know how to use a Keyblade."
"I've held a sword many times, I'm sure I can manage... besides... I've seen all of you using Keyblades. I think I can handle it."
"...Your funeral." Spawn Sabrina said before closing her eyes and turning into Nightmare Spawn.
"What the fuck is THAT form?!"
"It's a combination of my HDD and Spawn form. Nightmare Spawn... if you will."
"I don't care what you are... I'LL TAKE YOU DOWN!"
"Then bring it on then."
BGM: Duel of the Fates (Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace)
Marisa didn't want to admit it, but deep down... she was terrified... and she might have underestimated Sabrina's Keyblade, but she's not going to let fear get the best of her. No, she's going to win with Hina's Keyblade... one way or another.
Nightmare Spawn ran over and then slashed her, but Marisa blocked it and counted, using Eruption and knocking Nightmare Spawn away and used a Ragnarock, but Nightmare Spawn flew up in the air and launched a barrage of dark fire at Marisa, but then Marisa attempted to use Reflega, but she was slow in the delivery and got hit anyway and then Nightmare Spawn landed and ran over, using Sonic Blade on her and sending her away.
Marisa growled, and then proceeded to use Blizzaga Pursuit on her, but Nightmare Spawn sent it back and then floated a little. "Your time is up." She said before using Dark Aura, hitting Marisa from all over the place until Marisa used Eruption to knock her away and then ran over and used Zantetsuken, but Nightmare Spawn recovered and used Thundaga on the spot, hitting Marisa as she screamed in agony and whacked her away with her Keyblade.
"Mistress!" Hina shouted.
"I-I'm fine...!" Marisa panted as she quickly summoned her broom and hopped on it. "This ends here!"
Nightmare Spawn said nothing, but she slowly floated up. "I agree." She said.
Marisa flew over to her and then picked up the pace before standing on top of it, scowling at her. "SUNGRAZER!"
"Dark Aura."
The two went straight for each other and slammed into each other, causing a massive explosion that shook the whole entire Citadel, and when the smoke cleared, both women were down on the ground, looking severely weakened, but Nightmare Spawn slowly got up and slowly walked over as Marisa struggled to get up as she reached for her Keyblade, but Nightmare Spawn got to her fist and kicked the Keyblade away and then aimed Heart of Gensokyo at her.
"N-No...!" Marisa exclaimed, slowly crawling back until she had her back to a wall, looking completely terrified. "S-stay away...!" She begged.
"Do you admit that Heart of Gensokyo is powerful?"
"I'll never... I'll never admit it!" She said, her whole body trembling.
"Gee... that's too bad..."
"Please... don't kill me...!" She said as Nightmare Spawn saw tears swelling in her eyes and were quickly flowing. "Don't... kill me...!" She sobbed.
Nightmare Spawn raised her Keyblade up in the air and smirked, lunging directly at the terrified Marisa as she closed her eyes... and then heard something as she looked to see Heart of Gensokyo impaling a wall instead.
End BGM
"Wh-what...?"
"Did you really think I was going to kill you?" She asked and then chuckled.
"But... you've changed... you've become this… thing that's corrupted you!"
"Do you really think it corrupted me?" She asked as she turned back to normal. "It's nothing more than just a powerful form." She said, winking at her.
"O-Oh..." Marisa's heart was slowing down once more. "Okay... I admit it... Heart of Gensokyo is... powerful..."
Sabrina smiled. "That's all I needed to hear." She said, pulling it out and aiming directly at her. "Heal." She said, using Curaga on her and then helped her up, pulling her into a hug. "I didn't really mean all those things, I just wanted to provoke you a little so you could fight, so I could prove that this Keyblade is still strong."
Marisa said nothing, but tears were still streaming, hugging her tightly. "I thought... I thought you were actually going to..."
"Relax, I don't kill anyone." She said, looking in her eyes. "You know, there's no need to always be this tough girl. You can always be emotional like everyone else." She said. "Just holding it in will make things a lot worse." She said before hugging her again and then parting, then walking away. "Later!" She waved.
"L-Later..." Marisa said before thinking about what she said. Is she right? Have I been hiding my real emotions for far too long...? She thought as Hina was immediately by her side.
"You alright?"
"Y…Yeah… just… give me a minute…" Marisa requested as Hina nodded, but she then hugged Hina as she hugged her back, none of them moving for a long time, unaware that Dante watched the whole thing.
Dante chuckled. "She's going to be an amazing wife…"
Later…
"Hey, Cody…" Marisa walked to him.
"Hmm? What is it?" Worldwalker asked.
"Um, I've been thinking… could you possibly set up my wedding for me?"
Worldwalker looked at her in surprise. "Right now? When the Malevolent Seven is-"
"I don't care if they're running around and destroying everything. I want to marry the love of my life."
Worldwalker nodded. "Sure, I'll definitely do it. You sure seem pretty determined about this."
"I do. I don't want to delay it any longer."
"Alright, I'll see what I can do."
"Thanks." Marisa nodded and walked away. I don't care if they're running around… I want to marry him before it's too late. She thought.
With Sabrina, Aria, Sarah and Xarina…
Aria ran up to them, holding a lot of bottles. "You got them?" Sabrina asked.
"Yep!" She nodded, putting the beer bottles down.
"I'm surprised you're actually liking the idea." Xarina said.
"Hey, I was against it at first when Aria came up with the idea, but hey… what are you gonna do? I got used to it."
"Good for you… meanwhile, I'm trying to get past the bad taste."
"Imagine…the four of us as alcoholics." Aria giggled.
"Yeah, but I'm not gonna drive." Sarah said.
"Oh believe me; I'm not planning on doing that." Sabrina said. "I'm not that stupid."
Xarina laughed. "Yeah…"
"Alright, a toast for Sabrina to getting her legs working again and defeating another member of the Malevolent Seven!"
"Yeah!" All three girls exclaimed and clanked the bottles.
A little far away from them, Cana was watching with a piece of paper in her hands, a pencil and a beer bottle next to her. "What's all that?" Gildarts asked.
"Well, I just want to see how many drinks they can take before they get really drunk."
"You already have two written down?"
"Yeah." Cana nodded. "One or two before Sabrina gets drunk, three is Aria's limit before she goes completely crazy… but I'm curious on Xarina and Sarah. They only had one."
"This I gotta see."
Makarov sat down next to them, holding a mug. "Mind if I join you? This is gonna be pure entertainment."
Several drunk women later…
"Alright…" Cana wrote it down. "Xarina can handle three and Sarah probably used some of her magic to boost her limit to four since I saw her drinking four of them."
Makarov drunkenly laughed. "And now… the fun begins!"
They heard laughing as Demoman was next to them drinking scrumpy and apparently had nothing else better to do. "Now this is more like it! Seeing four wee women completely drunk!"
"…Should we tell him that he's drunk enough to think they're tiny?" Gildarts asked.
"Oh, let him be." Cana said.
With the hammered girls…
BGM: Minicar (Hyperdimension Neptunia MK2)
"Have I ever t-told you that I loved embarrassing Tristina every chance I got?" Aria drunkenly asked Sarah while also watching Sabrina and Xarina in their HDD forms completely wrestling in front of them.
"N-no… you loved embarrassing her…?"
"I loved giving her affection right in front of her classmates when she was in J-Junior Hi-High… and again in H-High School. You wo-wouldn't believe how embarrassed she was…!" Aria said as Sarah laughed.
"There was a time when I picked up Julia from school when she was in Junior High… and I was still in my robes and nothing more…!" Sarah said as Aria burst out laughing. "You can't believe the embarrassment on Julia's face as everyone else was laughing!"
"You had a 'me' day!" Aria laughed.
"P-Pinned ya…!" Nightmare Heart smirked.
"No…I believe I p-pinned you!" Splatoon Heart exclaimed as they were still wrestling until one by one… they were all knocked out from being completely drunk as Nightmare Heart and Splatoon Heart went back to normal, and adding on to the bizarre scene, Vanitas's Croagunk watched the whole thing and dragged them all away as soon as they were KO'd.
"Croa oa oa oa…" Croagunk said while dragging them away as Demoman burst out laughing before even he passed out.
"Never thought I'd see a poisonous frog drag them away…" Cana said.
Several migraines later…
"Oh god… how much did we have…" Xarina groaned, holding on to her head.
"Too much…" Sarah groaned.
"That's the worst part of being drunk… you wake up wishing you had another head to replace…" Sabrina said, rubbing her head.
"Tell me about it…" Aria sighed.
A littler far away from them…
"I don't know about you, but I just had a new love for Xarina!" Demyx grinned.
Nan looked at him funny. "Dad… you love her… uh… drunk side?"
"I find it really cute. Heh, I wonder what it'd be like if she seduced me with THAT."
Nan sweatdropped. "Oh brother…"
Isaac walked by. "Believe me, dude… I try to forget seeing my mother's wild drunk side…"
Cana chuckled. "I still haven't gotten to see Xarina's and Sarah's drunk personalities… but one day, I will." She said.
"I believe you told me Sabrina is a total moron when drunk?" Gildarts asked.
"And really seductive!" She added. "Meanwhile, Aria turns into this total party animal…" She chuckled. "Ah, these new sides are quite entertaining for me." She smiled.
Later, with Nepgear's Hero Finder…
"Oh, we got people!" Nepgear exclaimed as she pulled it out. "Oh! We got Captain Falcon in Chorus!"
"…I'll go…" Yang said quietly as she got on her Bumblebee motorcycle and drove off as her team looked rather concerned.
"We have Suika, Yuugi, Satori, Koishi, Orin, the Watatsuki Sisters, Kasen and Yuuka in… Petal Meadows!"
"I'll go get 'em! I gotta tell those two drunk Youkai about a certain something!" Cana took off.
"…Why do I have this feeling she's talking about us?" Xarina asked.
"Most likely…" Aria nodded. Hmm, wonder if this means they'll join us?
"Tony Stark, Thor and Nick Fury located at… Onett!"
"Coming through, people! I'm going over there!" Deadpool said, running through a portal.
"Yen Sid near Castle Oblivion!"
"Come on, fellas!" Mickey requested as Donald and Goofy took off again.
"Someone named Wrathion near the Sabertooth guild!"
"Oh, I forgot about him." Alex said as she made a portal to go get him.
"And finally, the Harry Potter gang at… the Aquarion Evol world!"
Elsa made a portal. "I've been rather fond of Hermione, actually." She said and walked into the portal, unaware of Mulan and Merida following her.
Meanwhile… with Yang…
Yang parked her motorbike near some rocks as she took off her helmet and started to look around in Chorus. "Hey, Falcon! Where are you?" She asked as she proceeded to walk around until she saw someone walking around, and it was none other than Falcon himself. "Hey!"
"Hmm?" Falcon turned his head. "Heh, I was wondering if someone would show up."
"Yeah... I'm here... now let's get the hell out of here..."
Falcon blinked. "...You feeling alright? You don't sound like your upbeat self."
"My world was destroyed... why should I be my upbeat self?"
"...That bad, huh?"
"Yeah, everyone has gotten over it... hell, even the residents of Destiny Islands are feeling a lot better after their world was destroyed... so why can't I just move on from it... i'll never understand it..."
"Oh... I'm sorry..."
"Don't be. You don't understand how I feel... let's just go..."
Falcon rubbed his chin in thought as he can see in her eyes that she's extremely angry, but also sad. "Hmm..." He continued to rub it and then had an idea. I know just what to do.
He walked over to Yang. "Alright, let's get out of here."
"Right..." Yang nodded and turned her back to him, and then he smirked and then suddenly sweep kicked her down, and then backflipped.
Yang got back up, glaring at him. "WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT FOR?!"
"Oh, just wanting to urge you to fight me."
"So you decided to pull a cheap shot like that?!"
"Hey, whatever works, right?" He then got in a fighting position. "Come on! Show me your moves!"
Yang growled. "Oh, i'll show you my moves, buddy boy!" She exclaimed, punching her fists together as her eyes turned red and her hair went on fire.
BGM: I Burn Remix (RWBY)
Yang ran over to him as he got ready as she let out a loud war cry and punched, but he blocked it and kicked her high in the air with his leg and then he jumped up, but Yang quickly recovered and shot him multiple times with her gauntlets, knocking him into a rock as Yang landed and then ran over to him again.
Falcon recovered and then smirked as he ran over as Yang got ready to punch but Falcon was ready for this and slid underneath her. "FALCON KICK!"
"Argh!" Yang growled as she recovered, but Falcon was right in front of her and used Falcon Dive, then launched off of her.
"Yes!"
"You little...!" Yang exclaimed as she kept shooting him repeatedly but Falcon frontflipped over the bullets and his fist burst into flame.
"FALCON..."
Yang's eyes widened and with her quick thinking, she moved out of the way but to her amazement, Falcon didn't unleash his punch as his fist extinguished as she smirked and then ran over and punched him, but he grabbed her arm and then his fist burst into flame again as her eyes widened in horror as he smirked.
"PAWNCH!" He yelled, hitting her right in the gut and sending her flying, as she slammed into several rocks in the process, and then the rocks exploded after Yang recovered.
"YOU SON OF A BITCH!" She screamed and ran forward as Falcon attempted to use Raptor Boost but Yang grabbed his arm with a smirk and then punched his gut repeatedly and then kicked him away.
Falcon shook it off and noticed that Yang's anger was diminishing by the second and her anger was slowly turning into more of a playful smirk. This should do it... He thought and ran forward as Yang did the same thing as they both pulled back their fists.
"FALCOOOON..."
"YAAAAANG..."
"PUNCH!"
Their fists connected to each other and caused one hell of an explosion that knocked them both away, as there was a lot of smoke in the process... and once the smoke cleared, Yang was on her back, panting.
End BGM
"I... I did it..." She panted as she tried to get up but couldn't as she heard footsteps as she looked up to see Falcon walking over to her, holding on to his shoulder and his helmet was completely gone.
"Hey, you feeling a little better?"
"I guess..."
"Heh, I guess all you needed was to get all of your frustrations out..."
"I'm still... angry that my world was destroyed... but... I'm not as angry as I used to be. So why... why did you do it?"
"Hey, I could tell that you weren't your perky self and I thought 'Why not have a battle with her so she could vent her frustrations?'. It worked, didn't it?"
Yang chuckled. "Yeah... it did..." She said, smiling like her usual self again as Falcon helped her up and then Yang suddenly hugged him. "Thank you..."
Falcon chuckled. "No problem." He said, returning the hug as they both searched for Falcon's helmet before finding it as he put it back on, then they heard footsteps approaching them as they turned to see RWB, Qrow and Zwei running over.
"Sis! Are you okay?" Ruby asked.
"Never better! Just needed someone to help me get back to my normal self!" She grinned.
Blake's eyes widened. "Yang... are you..."
"Yep!"
Ruby teared up. "Sis...!" She exclaimed and tackled her, hugging her tightly. "Oh, it's good to have you back!"
Yang smiled and then looked at them. "I'm... sorry for yelling at you earlier."
Qrow chuckled. "Oh, it's fine... you were just frustrated with our world being destroyed."
Yang smiled. "A part of me is still pissed off... but you know what? Moping around isn't my style."
"That's what I want to hear!" Ruby smiled as Zwei barked in happiness.
"Good to have you back." Weiss said as a portal opened up as they walked in while Falcon and Yang decided to drive their vehicles in the portal.
With Cana…
BGM: Petal Meadows (Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door)
"WHAT?!" Suika yelled in shock. "YOU MEAN TO TELL ME THAT THOSE FOUR ARE DRINKING NOW… WITHOUT ME?!"
"I didn't think they had it in them to drink alcohol… good to know." Yuugi said.
Cana chuckled. "Yeah… it's quite entertaining to watch."
"Not sure if that's a good thing or not…" Kasen muttered.
"In any case, I'm glad you found us." Torihime said. "Now, take us back to the Citadel."
"Sure." Cana nodded, opening a portal and walking in, as other portals were opened and out came the rest.
End BGM
"You know, I never thought we'd be rescued from Deadpool of all people." Tony said.
"Still, he helped us back here. I am grateful for that." Thor said.
"Yeah." Fury nodded.
"You're welcome!" Deadpool chuckled.
"I have to say… I was glad Elsa, Mulan and Merida came to get us. I was starting to go crazy since we couldn't open portals up." Hermione said.
"You should've seen Ron, he was a blubbering mess." Mulan said.
"I was not… I was just crying in happiness, that's all."
"Sure you were." Harry chuckled as Nepgear put it back and they dispersed to do their things… and then Riku lovingly pulled Sabrina in close to him.
"Hey, I seem to recall we haven't gone on a date for a long time."
Sabrina looked into his eyes lovingly. "So, where are you plan on taking me~?" She asked.
"How about that fancy restaurant in the Mushroom Kingdom just near the Ice Cream parlor?"
"Take me there, big guy." She smiled as Riku opened up a portal as they kissed while they walked in.
Rose smiled. "Oh, I love it when they do that…" She said before frowning and walking away.
"Rose?" Maria Jr. looked at her. "You okay?"
"Yeah… I just… I just need to be alone…"
Maria Jr. looked at her sadly. "Rose…" She sighed.
"What's with her?" Marisa walked over.
"…It's… well…" She explained what happened as Marisa's eyes widened in horror.
"Dear god… never thought he'd do such a thing…" She whispered as Flash walked near them.
"Which is why I'm declaring war on Mephiles." Flash said.
"You know what… so am I." Marisa growled. "I'm not going to sit by and watch that little girl fall into despair…"
Rose sat down on a couch, all alone.
She wanted her parents to be with her, but... unfortunately, they decided to go on a date together...and even though she was happy that those two went on a date… she couldn't help but feel lonely… and what really sucked was that her entire family was occupied with things, and that also included her big brother.
So here she was, all alone and with a sad look in her eyes, sniffing a little.
Until someone decided to sit down next to her and she looked at a Gatorade bottle sitting on the floor and her first thought was Nan, but then she noticed a skin tight outfit and purple hair... as it belonged to Hina. "Hey." She greeted.
"Hey..." Rose unenthusiastically greeted.
"What's wrong? You're usually your cheerful self all the time."
"It's just... what happened... a long time ago."
"Maria Jr. dying?"
"Worse..."
"Isaac having his soul taken?"
"Way worse..."
Hina scratched her chin in thought and then thought of Sabrina. "Uh... what happened to... your mother?" She cautiously asked.
"It happened in the Bionicle World... Isaac reaccepted his darkness and... and... Mephiles c-came and... and..." She teared up and started crying. "Killed her...!"
Hina's eyes widened. "What?! Mephiles did that?!" She exclaimed. "But, she's alive..."
"I know... but... sh-she... she died... I know my sister revived her with Paper Mario b-b-b-but..."
"Oh my god..." Hina looked at her. "Rose... that hedgehog traumatized you big time..."
"He did... I bet you know what that's like... losing someone you held dear to..." She sobbed.
Hina clenched her fists. "Do I..." She sighed, flashing back to when she had ugly fights with the Meta and it all ended in Reach... when she lost her eye...
When she lost her eye to that god damned Brute Shot…
It made her sick just thinking about it... she hugged herself as tears ran down her cheek before putting her hands in her hair, crying a little. "No... no...!" She cried.
"Hina...?" Rose sniffed.
"C-come here..." Hina sobbed as Rose nodded and got close to her, before Hina pulled her in close and put Rose's head on her chest as they laid on the couch together, crying together and holding each other, not even letting go as Hina gently kissed her forehead.
They wished one thing...
That they could forget about those horrifying experiences...
But they couldn't...
Marisa walked over to them and knelt down. "Hey."
Rose looked at her. "Oh… hi…" She sniffed.
"Your sister told me what happened… I feel terrible of what happened…"
"I just… want that memory to go away…"
"Come here." Marisa sat down next to her and then Rose hugged Marisa as Hina rested her head on Marisa's shoulder, hearing Rose cry. "Shh... it's okay, I'm here…" She said and then having an idea. "Ah, I know what to do." She said. "Come on."
She then took them to her room and sat on her bed, her back against the wall as Hina rested her head on her breasts, wiping her tears away while Marisa set up a pillow next to her as Rose rested her head on the pillow and cuddled up next to her.
"Thank you…"
"Any time…" Marisa smiled, hugging her and caressing Rose's hair.
"Rose, you can rest in mistress's breasts with me." Hina offered, sniffing a little.
"That's not a good idea." Marisa said. "Having a six year old resting on someone's breasts just seems weird."
"Thank you, though, but I'm good." She said.
"Don't worry… I'll make sure Mephiles will pay for this." Marisa told her and then they heard a door slowly being opened and they saw Sabrina's head peeking in.
"Hey…" She said.
"Done with your date already?" Marisa asked.
"Yeah… I'm just blown away on how fast the service is over there." Sabrina said. "We then had ice cream right after that… but never mind about the date… what's going on?"
"Comforting Rose." Marisa said. "I heard about what happened to you."
Sabrina sighed. "You wouldn't be the first…" She said, closing the door and sitting on Marisa's bed, putting her back against the wall as Rose moved from Marisa and crawled up on her mother until she rested her head in her arms as she stroked her back.
"I can tell… has she had like some therapy or whatever?"
"She has… I just hate seeing my little girl in despair." Sabrina said. "In fact, she was just done with her session when Nepgear found more of the heroes."
"I was wondering what she was doing with Doc…" Marisa admitted.
"Yeah…" She nodded and kissed Rose's forehead. "I just want my little girl back to the way she was... her happy go lucky self."
"I have to admit, she's quite brave. I've never seen anyone be as brave like her." Marisa looked at Sabrina. "She gets it from you."
"Really? I believe she got it from Riku too." Sabrina said with a smile.
"I did appreciate it that she came to try and rescue me while we were being tortured." Hina said as Rose smiled at this.
As the two sat there in silence while consoling Hina and Rose, Marisa broke the silence. "You know… from what I heard from Flash… I'm basically declaring war on Mephiles."
"Join the party… everyone's thinking it." Sabrina muttered. "That coward freaking… you know… did that."
"I know." Marisa sighed, looking at Rose. "Oh… I still remember seeing her when she was just a little baby…"
Rose smiled. "You know… the way you kept visiting our home before mommy and daddy got kidnapped, I thought of you as an aunt."
Marisa blushed in embarrassment. "…Did I seriously visit your home that much?"
Sabrina laughed. "You sure did! You always came by after pestering Reimu!" She smiled.
"Please, I like to call it 'coming over for a friendly visit'. Pestering her is Yukari's job… or Suika." She said as they both laughed. "Still… I never pictured myself as an aunt to this little girl… or… hell, even a godmother for that matter."
"A badass godmother to be exact." Sabrina said.
"God, you're making me sound old!" Marisa complained as they all laughed at this.
"So, what do you think of me?" Hina curiously looked at Rose.
Rose thought about this. "I always thought of you as my second big sister!"
Hina smiled. "Oh, you're so adorable…"
Marisa chuckled. "Looks like your family is expanding a little." She said, playfully winking at Sabrina.
"Tell me about it…" Sabrina chuckled.
"Still…" Marisa looked at Sabrina. "If anything ever happens to you and Riku… I'll look after Rose."
"Got it… but I don't think Riku will let anything happen to the both of us for a long time." Sabrina said as they both laughed as they sat there and talked as Hina and Rose looked like they were feeling much better.
After that, Sabrina got up and gently placed a sleeping Rose down, kissing her on the cheek. "Hey, put her to bed for me, alright?"
"Hmm? Where are you going?" Marisa asked.
"I've having an interest in guns."
"…Where are you going with this?"
"Well, every once in a while, I'd go into the shooting gallery and shoot off Minene's pistol, I seem to be getting better with it… and then with Riku having his own weapons in his Twilight Knight form… it has my interest piqued like… ten fold."
"Never really thought of you as a gun wielding woman, but hey… everyone's full of surprises."
"Yeah… I actually suggested to Minene and Carolina that I'd like my own custom guns and they're all for it… in fact, Maria Jr has been working on them."
"…What kind of guns?" Hina asked in curiosity.
"Like, a custom made Battle Rifle and a Magnum."
Hina's eyes lit up. "So like… Halo weapons?!"
"Yep." Sabrina smiled. "I'm going to go see how it's going and then I'll be heading to bed myself." She waved them. "Night." She said before closing the door.
"…I want to see these guns. I'd put in my own input if I could." Marisa said and looked at Hina. "Hey, take Rose to bed, alright? I want to see these guns."
"Okay." Hina nodded as she moved as Marisa walked out as she looked at the sleeping Rose and picked her up. "Big sister… heh, that's adorable." She smiled and walked out, taking Rose to bed.
With Sabrina…
"Hey, how's it going?" Sabrina asked, walking into the mechanic shop.
"It's looking prettier by the second." Carolina said.
"I'll say!" Minene said.
"I'll probably have it done in the morning." Maria Jr. said. "I'm so close, I'm thinking 'I can sleep when this is done'."
Sabrina smiled and then knelt down, kissing her on the cheek. "Just don't stay up too late, alright?"
"I won't." She smiled, kissing her back before heading back to work as Sabrina walked out to head to bed, and then Marisa walked in and saw the designs.
"Hey, mind if I put in my own input?"
"Like what?" Maria Jr. asked.
"Well… I was thinking…"
The next day at the Shooting Gallery…
BGM: Swing a Fish to Drive Away Flies (Touhou 10.5: Scarlet Weather Rhapsody)
"Alright… it actually took longer than expected." Carolina said. "Probably because Marisa had some ideas."
"Hey, what can I say? You piqued my interest!" Marisa smiled.
Sabrina picked up the Battle Rifle that was custom blue with the Kingdom Hearts symbol in the front of the barrel, a spring blue flower engraved on one side and Rose engraved on the other and looked into the scope. "Anything I should know about this?"
"Well, it can fire your usual bullets, but it also has a mode where you can fire simple Danmaku out of this Battle Rifle." Minene said.
"Simple, yet powerful." Marisa chuckled. "I had Maria Jr. install a button just near the trigger to change modes." She said as Sabrina got in a position and shot the targets through the scope, then pressed the button and fired simple Danmaku. "Oh, and I also had her put a replica of my Mini-Hakkero in it, so basically, not only can it fire an endless supply of Danmaku, it can fire a Master Spark as well."
Sabrina raised an eyebrow. "And how do I do that?"
"Just hold the trigger, you'll see a glow in the barrel as it's charging up… and when you release it… it fires a Master Spark." Marisa said as Sabrina did that as they saw a glow and then after about ten seconds, Sabrina let go of it, as a small Master Spark was shot out. "The longer you hold it, the more powerful it is."
"Sweet." Sabrina grinned.
"Oh, and we also had it so Delta can enter the Rifle to assist you." Minene said.
Delta appeared on Sabrina's shoulder and jumped into the rifle. "I shall assist you in this gun whenever the opportunity strikes."
"Nice!" Sabrina said as Delta reappeared on her shoulder while Chibi-Robo checked out the Magnum in curiosity.
"I like to call the Battle Rifle… the Danmaku Rifle." Marisa grinned.
"Oh, Maria Jr also added another feature to it… I just remembered it." Minene said. "You see that button near the barrel?"
"Yeah?" Sabrina asked as she pressed it, and it suddenly turned into the Star Wars Blaster. "…What the…?"
"Maria Jr. said that she had a feeling that it'd be handy to have that setting. I don't know what you need it for, but… hey, it's there if you want to mess around with that." Carolina said.
"Okay…" Sabrina nodded and then turned it back to the Battle Rifle and put it down and then picked up the Magnum, as it's also custom with a purple color with Isaac and Riku engraved on the sides and on the handle of the Magnum, Maria Jr. is there and on the other side, Minene and Yuno are in there too.
"So, anything special about this one?"
"Nah, just an ordinary Magnum." Minene said. "Although… Marisa wanted to call it the "Chaos Magnum".
"What? It needed a flashy name! I did suggest explosive ammo or a bazooka setting, but these buzzkills thought it'd be too insane."
"Why would a Magnum need explosive ammo or a bazooka setting anyway?" Minene asked as Sabrina fired it anyway.
"Hey, just thought it'd be really cool." Marisa shrugged.
"Still, I love it." Sabrina said as she put the Magnum in her tool belt and strapping the Battle Rifle on her back. "This is amazing!"
"And it's amazing with an awesome wife." A voice said as they saw Riku coming in as he saw the whole thing.
"Thanks." Sabrina smiled as they both hugged and then kissed each other while Chibi-Robo hopped up and rested in the tool belt.
End BGM
"Hey, Aunt Marisa!" Rose ran over to her. "I made something for you!"
"Aunt Marisa?" Minene asked as Sabrina explained it. "…Well, she DID visit a lot…" She chuckled as Marisa knelt down.
"What'd you make?"
"This." Rose handed her a witch hat. "I wanted to make a hat for you. You look better with one anyway."
Marisa looked at the hat. It is navy blue, similar like Natsumi. The hat has a pink bow, attached to a yellow star belt. There's a small black pair of Devil Wings (Think of Dante's Wings). There are also yellow stars on the hat, making it a bit flashy. There is also a white lining going over the edges a bit under her hat. And finally, it has Mima's Symbol inside Dante's symbol.
Marisa smiled. "I actually missed wearing one." She said and then put it on, as Rose gave her a little hand held mirror too as she did a few poses. "Ah, now I look like a complete witch once again." She smiled and hugged Rose. "Thank you."
Later, at the Mechanic shop…
BGM: Professor E. Gadd (Luigi's Mansion)
"Wait, you're rebuilding THAT?" Tony asked, surprised to see Metal Sonic.
"Just think of it as a big 'fuck you' to Mephiles." Nitori said as Hina and Souji were watching as well. "We've combined Time Eater's parts to him as well."
"Just one little adjustment here and… Done!" Sabrina exclaimed. "Alright, turn him on!"
"Got it!" Kirito nodded and pressed a button as Metal Sonic's eyes turned on, looking entirely different to boot.
In fact, Metal Sonic had a golden color to him, complete with blue eyes, as he also was wearing Time Eater's wings, his arms are shaped like Time Eaters, as he was wearing a mask resembling the Time Eater's mouth on the mouth piece part, complete with sinisterly drawn fangs. He also had Sonic's signature head spikes, but they also resemble the crystals from Time Eater as well.
"I added the fangs to it to make him look threatening!" Yui smiled.
"I messed with his memory a little." Nepgear said. "You see, I made it so that he thinks Mephiles destroyed him and we were his allies this whole time."
"That's evil… and I like it." Tony said.
"I also messed with his voice box a little." Sabrina said. "I made it so he won't sound as croaky and gave it a more clean robotic voice."
"We should give him an A.I. just for the hell of it." Nitori said.
"Might I suggest Omega?" Delta suggested.
"Omega?" Theta asked.
"Yes."
"Okay then…"
"We need to get Tucker in here." Rose said.
Later…
"Oh, you gotta be kidding me…" Tucker sighed in annoyance.
"It's the only way." Delta said and then with the help of the AI's, they extracted Omega and then gave it to Metal Sonic as he looked at the AI.
"Thank you." Metal Sonic said. "I, Temporal Metal Sonic, will make Mephiles pay for my destruction along with my A.I. friend… O'Metallic!"
"Oh, I forgot to mention I changed his name to Temporal Metal Sonic!" Yui smiled with an innocent giggle.
"O'Metallic?!" Omega exclaimed in shock. "Can't I keep my real name, of be called 'O'mally'?!"
"O'Metallic does have a better ring to it than Omega and O'mally now that I think about it." Sabrina said.
"It's fitting. I say that we have that be your new name from now on."
Omega, or now O'Metallic, looked angry. "You gotta be kidding me! I will make sure you all taste OBLIVION! Which tastes like Red Bull! Which is disgusting!"
"This new Metal Sonic is badass." Hina grinned while Souji nodded.
"Just out of curiosity… do you have any more A.I.'s to use?" Tony curiously asked.
Later…
"Greetings, Eta and Iota." Delta greeted.
"Hello, Delta!" Eta greeted as Wall-E and Eve curiously looked at the A.I.s and then a fiery and sinister A.I. appeared in front of them.
"Meep!" Theta hid behind Maria Jr's neck.
"Oh great, look what the hard drive dragged in!" Gamma exclaimed.
"Hello, fellow A.I." The fiery A.I. known as Sigma greeted.
"Oh HELL no!" Hina growled as she placed the palm of her hands on the table, glaring in disgust over the A.I.
"Is there something that troubles you?" Sigma asked.
"You were the one responsible for turning Maine for what he was… The Meta…" She growled.
Sigma smirked. "Ah, I see you got acquainted with him, judging by your injury. But no worries, I am not the same Sigma you are referring to. I am merely the memory of him."
"I don't care. If I had a way to physically harm you, I would…" She said coldly and looked deep into his eyes. "Listen here; you little fire shithead… if you do anything funny… I swear, I'll find an EMP with your name on it… and I WILL shut you down." She threatened.
Sigma chuckled. "How will you find an EMP that small?"
"Oh, I'll find a way." She said and then walked away in disgust.
"Hina, wait a minute!" Souji ran after her.
"Um, I'll just keep Sigma with me for the time being." Tucker said.
"Seems like a good idea, I never seen her so pissed off like that." Tony said, seeming a bit concerned over what happened.
Meanwhile, with Maria…
"Agh... stupid Chansey got away..." Maria growled as she was playing Pokemon Go on her phone and then noticed a room. "Hmm?" She wondered and saw a sign. "Cody's Forge Room" it said.
"Huh..." She said and curiously walked in, proceeding to look around and seeing a blueprint for a Keyblade and looked at the design and seeing words printed on it calling it the 'End all be all Keyblade'. "What in the world...?" She wondered, studying it curiously when she heard someone come in.
"What are you doing?" A voice asked as Maria jumped and turned to see Worldwalker looking at her.
"Oh, uh... nothing... I probably made a wrong turn while playing Pokemon GO and... and... I never really saw this room before so I decided to take a look around."
"I'm actually surprised, not many people go far in the Citadel and find this room. I'm impressed."
"Thanks...I guess...?"
Worldwalker chuckled. "I see you're seeing the Mother of all Keyblades that I have on the blueprint."
"Yeah, but what's it all about?"
"Basically the ultimate Keyblade that puts all Keyblades to shame. I'm still thinking of a name, so the working title is basically the End All Be All Keyblade." He explained as he sat down on a chair, and pulling out Hikari's sword. "Let's see... this needs to be a little... sharper than usual." He said and then proceeded to sharpen it.
Maria watched it and then grinned. "That looks interesting."
"I'm a blacksmith basically. You pick up on it once you're in Azeroth for a long time." He chuckled as he continued to sharpen it. "...Actually, maybe I should make something that adds a little more 'oomph' to this sword." He said as Maria looked around and saw all the things that he had made.
"Question, would it be okay if you could train me?"
Worldwalker stopped what he was doing, looking at her in surprise. "What was that now?"
"I asked if you could-"
"I heard you the first time, I never really thought someone would actually ask me to train them for anything, let alone blacksmithing."
"Well, you make such cool designs and well, I wondered if I could do the same."
"...I'm overcome with emotions right now." He said. "I'm flattered! I never actually had an apprentice, so this is going to be quite fun for me!"
Maria giggled. "Nice."
"Well, I'm going to design a new armor for you so we can begin in Azeroth. We'll basically be staying there for a week."
"Interesting."
As Worldwalker began designing the armor, he looked at her. "Now, are you sure about this? There's no turning back."
"I'm sure about this."
"Alright... this is going to be interesting." He said.
Several hours later...
"Aaaand... just a little adjustment here... and done!" He said and then made a portal. "Let's go."
"Got it." Maria nodded as the two went inside.
BGM: Dark Ironforge (World of Warcraft: Cataclysm)
Worldwalker and Maria exited the portal in the Mystic Ward of Ironforge inside the local church where the portals there were always set to go. Outside of the church is a small pool of water with some steps leading into it. Ironforge is the home city of the Dwarves of Azeroth built deep inside of the mountain region they call home. Looking up above you could see adventurers and guards flying though the giant dug out cavern. Making a follow me gesture, Worldwalker and Maria made their way to the center of the city the Great Forge, an always awe inspiring sight with molten metal falling from huge containers hanging from the ceiling, Blacksmiths and their apprentices were working day and night on the tools of their trade. In the Center of the Forge was the biggest Anvil Maria has ever seen. This was the Great Anvil, and the top was marked with the Symbol of Ironforge.
"Welcome to Ironforge and the Great Forge in particular. That Anvil over there is the great Anvil and just so happens this is where my sword, the Ashbringer was made on that very Anvil." explained Worldwalker.
"Wow. I was here before when we had that mess in the Museum but this is just breathtaking. So what are we doing first?" asked Maria, looking around.
"First we are going to get a room for the night, and then we are going to get you a set of armor made for you to get used to wearing something that heavy. I can afford it." Worldwalker explained. "Then we will take a walk around the city and I'll give you the tour, and finally spend the rest of the day going over the basics of Blacksmithing. I have this whole week planned out. Be warned, this is going to be very tough on you but by the end of this you will have the necessary credentials to begin an career in creating armor and weapons of great power. But first let's go find an Inn shall we? I have every needed to make you a basic set of plate in my bag here so we should do that first."
Worldwalker went to the nearby Inn in the commons in the southern part of the city and booked a room there for 2 days. After that they headed back to the Great Forge where he set out a few dozen bars of steel and iron and pulled out a blacksmith hammer.
"OK then watch closely you might learn a few things." said Worldwalker, carrying his load over to the Great Anvil.
The Great Anvil was enchanted to be always heated and so Worldwalker set out on making a full set of basic armor for Maria to get used to the weight of said armor. After an hour of pounding it out and shaping it, the set of gear was done.
"Whew, been a while since I made some thing. You learn a thing or two?" asked Worldwalker to his apprentice.
"Yeah but that seems like it would be a little big on me, don't you think?" asked Maria.
"It does but I have a few tricks. You see due to some magic I used on it while making it, it will automatically resize itself to fit you as you put it on. Let's head back to our room so you can get changed and I'll give you the tour."
The two headed back to their room in the Inn and Worldwalker gave her some privacy so she could put the armor on.
Man... this thing is heavy... Maria thought as she was getting changed. But dammit all... this is going to be worth it at the end.
After trying her hardest to put it all on, she looked at herself in the mirror and checked herself out a few times, but doing a few poses seemed a bit... difficult.
...Let's do this. She thought and slowly managed to walk back into the room.
"So takes some getting used to huh?" asked Worldwalker looking amused.
"Yeah. It feels like I'm wearing a ton. How do people walk around in this?" asked Maria.
"You get used to it. Now let's get started on this tour and build up your strength shall we?"
"You planned it like this."
"Yeah I did. Now let's go."
The two exited the Inn and into the commons where Worldwalker showed her the front gate. She started to shiver a bit due to the cold outside the city and then showed her the auction house and the bank, and the barbershop as well as a tavern for them to get some food in later. They walked slowly due to Maria to the military ward where Worldwalker pointed some training dummies.
"We will be using those to help train you with fighting in that armor for a day the second day you're going to be sparring with me to learn how to dodge while wearing it." explained Worldwalker.
"Oh joy, if you're anything like your daughter after she beat Kirito, I'm a little scared." said Maria looking a little nervous.
"Oh don't worry we will be using wooden weapons and I'll avoid harming your face."
"Oh good. I would hate to get a black eye."
They continued into the mechanical marvel that is the Gnome's section of Tinker Town, and though the Hall of Explorers into the Forlorn Cavern where people were fishing.
"What is there to catch in a cave like this?" asked Maria starting to get used to the armor.
"Getting used to it I see. Anyway there is a fish called ol' Ironjaw people have been trying to catch for ages. It is very crafty. We are about done and will be heading back to the Great Forge, I just need to make a quick stop."
"Where is that?"
"The grave of a friend who paid for my mistakes."
They soon walked back though the Mystic Ward and the Great Forge and went down a ramp that lead to the old part of Ironforge. There at the top off a set of stair was a statue made of Diamond of a Dwarf.
"So who is this and where is this grave?" asked Maria.
"You're looking at him. Magni Bronzebeard he paid the price trying to help his people using a ancient ritual on a tablet I had discovered. This was the result." explained Worldwalker.
"Oh... I am so sorry."
"It's fine. It is a burden I will carry forever. Let's head back to the forge."
The two headed back to the Forge where Worldwalker went over the basics of blacksmithing through lecture and demonstration. After a while they went to the tavern and had dinner and then went to bed for the night. The next morning Maria was told to jog while wearing her armor around the city. It took a while at first but after half a day Maria was able to do it in 10 minutes.
"Nice to see your getting stronger." said Worldwalker praising her.
"Thanks. I will admit I am getting used to this so what is next?" asked Maria catching her breath.
"We will be going over different metals and gems tonight. Tomorrow will be training in combat for you and the day after that we will go out and tech you how to mine metal and gems." explained Worldwalker.
"Great! Let's get started."
Heading back to their room Worldwalker went over gems and metal until long into the night and the next morning after breakfast they went to the Military Ward to train.
"So, you ready?" Worldwalker asked.
"Yeah." Maria nodded, as her first instinct was to summon her Keyblade... but she quickly dismissed the thought and picked up the wooden weapon. Here goes...
Worldwalker ran over and hit her, but she quickly blocked it and countered as they proceeded to fight as within like an hour and a half, she was getting more used and more agile in the armor as she was fighting, getting quite aggressive in the process.
Man, she's getting way more aggressive... I gotta be careful, otherwise I'm gonna get hurt really bad!
They kept on sparring until Maria slashed upward to disarm him as his eyes widened and raised his hands up in the air. "I surrender!" He said, causing both of them to laugh. "You got used to that part."
"I sure did." Maria nodded.
"Alright, now come on, I'll show you how to mine for metals and gems." He said as he guided her to the mines.
The master and his apprentice headed outside the city where, despite the cold from being in a snowy mountain area, it was a rather nice day outside.
"So where is the mine?" asked Maria.
"A bit away from here but that is why I have this!" said Worldwalker pulling out a device and pressing the button on it.
A rocket flew down from the sky and floated in front of them. It had a face on the front and two seats on top.
"This is the X-53 Touring Rocket. We will be riding to the mine in style, just hold on tight." said Worldwalker as he got on the front seat.
Maria hopped on the back seat and held on tightly as it took to the air and Worldwalker flew it to a nearby quarry. It took a few minutes but they made it their in a short time.
"Now then now to teach you the spell that will let you find ore nodes in the surrounding area." said Worldwalker.
After teaching her the spell Maria was asked to lead them to an ore node and it was a vein of copper ore. Worldwalker demonstrated how to mine it by using a pickax and digging away at the stone surrounding the metal making sure not to hit it. After a minute or two he has a few ingots of copper ore. They went to the next one where Maria was able to get it out without damaging it too badly getting used to a pickax.
"So where do you pull this stuff out anyway?" said Maria picking away.
"Oh right I should teach you about the small pocket dimension spell. It has a limited amount of space but make it so that only you can pull stuff out of it and is very handy." explained Worldwalker demonstrating it.
After teaching her that and getting Maria her own pickax and blacksmith hammer and mining for an hour, they Headed back to Ironforge on the rocket and Worldwalker showed her how to smelt bars and she was able to pick it up very quickly not getting any burns in the process. After that using the gems they found Worldwalker pulled out a Grinding wheel and showed Maria how to cut gems which she also picked up very quickly. With the bars and gems in hand Worldwalker demonstrated how to make a copper short-sword. After a few tries Maria was able to make one perfectly. After that they had dinner.
"Ok tomorrow we are heading to Stormwind for the rest of our trip." said Worldwalker on their way back to the Inn.
"Oh what for?" asked Maria.
"Well you're going to have to learn how to swim in that armor. We are going to make you a set when we get back to the Citadel and I would rather we get that out of the way while we are here. After that we will go over enchanting and how to fight and mine underwater to finish your basic training off."
"Sound like a workout and fun. I have always enjoyed swimming."
The two went to bed and the next morning took the tram to Stormwind where they headed for a nearby lake inside the city limits behind the Cathedral.
"Don't worry I'll keep an eye one you so you're going to be doing a few laps around the lake then a few while staying underwater as long as possible. So how long can you hold your breath?" asked Worldwalker.
"Around five minutes." She replied.
"Perfect, then this should be interesting." Worldwalker said as Maria nodded and then dove right on in and started to swim around for a few laps, getting a little faster each lap... sure her muscles were tired and achy and begging her to rest, but she would not give up that easily.
Soon, she proceeded to go underwater and do a few laps there as well, holding her breath.
It was then at the last lap that her lungs were screaming for air. Has it been five minutes already? She thought as she proceeded to go a few extra feet before she couldn't handle it anymore and she proceeded to go up for air, which she let out a large gasp of air, panting in the process.
"Wow, five minutes exactly." He said.
Maria forced a chuckle. "Yeah..." She nodded.
"The reason we did this was because I have seen to many people die due to thinking they could swim with heavy armor on and drown. Anyway you should take a few practice swings with your Keyblade while in the water and get used to fighting like that." Explained Worldwalker.
Maria spent the next hour or two doing practice swings in the water with Worldwalker occasionally sending an attack her way to dodge and after awhile she became very adept at fighting while in water with her armor on. Maria then noticed something.
"Hey I think there is some copper in the water." said Maria
"Oh let me check... Oh so there is you should go down and grab it." said Worldwalker.
Maria dived underwater and after a minute or two came back up with some ore.
"Good girl guess you found it a bit easier?" asked Worldwalker.
"Yeah... I'm tired." said Marisa laying on the shore of the lake.
"I am not surprised. Now we are heading to the Mage Quarter to rest and I'll teach you enchanting."
They headed to the Mage Quarter and got a room in the Blue Recluse Inn. And Worldwalker pulled out a defective Keyblade and destroyed it going over the process of enchanting and disenchanting in the process. They spent the next few days reinforcing what she was taught and soon she had mastered the basics after enchanting the sword she made earlier that week all while listening to Worldwalker's stories about some of his adventures on Azeroth. The last day after finishing some mining on her own and some smelting Worldwalker came up to her with a smile on his face.
"So How do you feel?" asked Worldwalker.
"Stronger, much stronger. I can barely feel the weight of this anymore" said Maria referencing the armor.
"Good we are heading back soon and I just picked up the supplies we need to make your own custom suit of Armor. We can work on it together when we get back. So are you ready to head home?"
"Yeah. I can't wait to get started on this."
"Same here we will disenchant your current set and use the materials to make you new set much better. Let's head back." said Worldwalker opening a portal to the citadel.
They walked though it and headed home.
After that, Worldwalker handed her the armor, looking at the muscle that Maria just built and she put it on. "Hmm, I'll probably have to make you a blacksmith outfit, which shouldn't be too hard."
"I'll show this to everyone."
"Okay." He nodded as he began designing the outfit as Maria walked through the Citadel as everyone looked at it in surprise.
"Is that… Maria…?!" Kai asked.
"What the hell?!" Hina asked in surprise.
"Wow, mommy looks so cool!" Peashy exclaimed.
"Maria… is that… you?" Paolo asked.
"Yep." Maria nodded. "What do you think?" She asked as her armor is basically similar to the Truesteel Battleplate from World of Warcraft. The armor is a red color predominantly with blue trim. (The gems in the armor are a violet color and the cloth is a pale yellow). Underneath the armor are two layers of very tough leather over a layer of dragon scales and more leather with fur to line the inside for comfort. The exposed parts of the leather are a paler shade of red than the armor, but basically no armor since Worldwalker basically thought it'd look weird on her.
"You look amazing." Paolo said.
"I'm also wearing these two magic rings on my hands underneath these gauntlets. They're basically made with Elementium and be set with miniature violet gems, increasing the damage of my magic as long as I'm wearing them. I'm also wearing this necklace that also has Elementium for the chain and it's basically a locket."
The locket in question has Daisy's symbol made of diamond petals on one side and emerald in the other side, plus the middle. Maria opened the locket and inside is a picture of her and Paolo. "As long as I'm wearing this, it boosts my physical strength."
"So… what's with this cape?" Daisy wondered, looking through it.
"It's basically a cloak and from what Worldwalker said, it's based off of Cape of Gilneas." She said. The cloak is the same color as the armor and has a quilted look to it with small green gems where ever the stitching crosses. The trim has the same blue as the armor and the symbol on the top of the cloak is Daisy's symbol. The cloak is down to just above her knees and it's attached to the armor by magical clasps that looks like Daisy's symbol made of the same gems as the one on the locket.
"Okay, I didn't understand about… half of what you said, but from what I'm guessing, Worldwalker gave you powerful jewelry." Kai said.
Maria laughed. "Yeah…"
"But where have you been? You've been gone for like… a week." Hina said.
"Well…" Maria explained it all as they all looked at her in surprise. "So now, I'm a blacksmith now." She said as Lizbeth walked by and heard this.
"What the… YES! I HAVE A BLACKSMITH BUDDY NOW!"
Suguha sweatdropped. "Wow… you're excited by this."
"Well, duh!"
Worldwalker ran up to her. "Hey, I have it ready for you!" He said, giving her the outfit.
"Thanks." She nodded and then took off to go change, and then came out later. "What do you think?" She asked as her blacksmith outfit is similar to Lizbeth's. She has an ocean blue top with fire printed on it. Instead of a skirt, she's wearing ripped up jeans with Lea's Chakrams and Aqua's Wayfinder printed on it and her apron is a dark blue with fire printed on it and then she has a white ribbon with a locket in the middle. She then opened it to reveal two pictures and one of them is her and Paolo, and the other is with her, Kai and Hina all smiling.
"Nice!" Hina exclaimed before realizing something. "Wait… you have… all of that muscle…"
"Yeah." Maria nodded, as she's still wearing the rings and necklace.
"…Okay, one of these days, I want to have a friendly spar with you to see who's strongest."
Maria smirked. "You're on."
"Alright, I'll go finish up Marisa's wedding then." Worldwalker said and walked away.
"Oh! He also made me a new Keyblade." She said, summoning it. "It's called Sarasaland's Hope as it boosts its strength beyond the Fenrir and the magic beyond the Ultima."
The Keychain is Daisy's flower symbol with Luigi's "L" in the center, the handle is made up of Warp Pipes in the shape of the Kingdom Key. The corners have Luigi's Emblem and Daisy's Symbol alternating on them, the blade is a crystal similar to those from Daisy's Crystal Smash move in Mario Strikers Charged with one side having a jagged blade like edge and the hose of the Poltergust 5000 wrapped around it and the teeth is Daisy's Crown.
"Whoa… so what are the abilities?" Daisy asked.
"It enables your Crystal Smash move, you know… your ultimate soccer move as an attack-"
"I love this Keyblade already!" Daisy said, her eyes sparkling.
"My healing spells had an additional cosmetic effect of flowers raining down on the person that is healed." She said, using Curaga on Luigi as an example.
"What the…?" Luigi wondered.
"I can also summon the ghosts from Dark Moon to aid me in combat."
"Dark Moon…?" Luigi wondered before thinking about it. "Oh, you mean when King Boo caused trouble for a…second… time… WAIT WHAT?! YOU CAN SUMMON THEM IN COMBAT TO AID YOU?!"
"Yes."
"…Why do I have this feeling they're going to cause me trouble… I don't like this Keyblade."
"Oh, man up!" Daisy said.
"This can also transform into a Poltergust so I can like combat the ghosts… it basically looks like the Poltergust 5000, but it's orange and has all the upgrades."
"I take it back, I love this Keyblade!"
Daisy rolled her eyes. "Oh brother…"
"That's… about it." Maria said.
"…That… is one hell of a badass Keyblade." Hina said as Kai nodded in agreement.
Later that night…
"Hmm…" Hikari rubbed her chin in thought.
"What are you thinking of?" Alex asked.
"I was thinking of having a sleep over with my girlfriends… including you." She said.
Alex smiled. "I'd love that… but I think we need one more girl."
"Oh?"
"Rose."
Hikari nodded. "She needs it after what happened." She said.
"I'll go get her." Alex said and then took off to go get her. "Hey Rose!"
"Yeah?"
"Do you want to hang out with my sister and her friends? We're basically having a sleep over in her room."
Rose's eyes lit up. "Yes!"
"Come on, I'll take you there." Alex said as she took Rose's hand and they took off as Sabrina saw this.
"Ah, I remember the days when I had a sleepover… those were the days for sure." She giggled as Rose was basically having a fun time with Alex, Hikari and the other Future Girls as they basically talked about… well, girl talk.
Boys, doing their nails, discussing their likes and dislikes, shoulder rubs, did their hair and basically redoing Rose's hair into cute little pigtails, much to Rose's delight, a bit of a pillow fight, watching some cheesy chick flicks, all of that fun stuff.
It was then when they all grew tired, Rose was cuddling up next to Alex and Hikari, as she had a smile on her face.
The next day…
"Thank you so much… I loved it." Rose smiled and hugged them, then walked off.
"We should do that more often." Alex said.
"Yeah." Hikari smiled.
With Maria Jr…
"So, is she feeling any better?" Dante asked Souji as they were sitting on a couch.
"I don't know… ever since Sigma was recreated, she just seems like she wants to prevent something from happening." Souji said. "Not that I blame her… he was the reason behind creating the Meta in the first place."
"Honestly, I wish the AI didn't do that." Maria Jr. said, as Theta and Gamma sat on her shoulders.
"We only meant to do Eta and Iota, so I don't know how the hell Sigma showed up." Gamma said.
"He still scares me…" Theta shuddered.
"I don't blame you." Souji said. "Still… Rose is there to comfort her."
"I find it cute that she thinks of her as another sister." Dante said. "In fact, my fiancé is some sort of godmother."
Maria Jr. smiled. "Yeah… another sister in the family. I'm totally fine with that." She said and looked at Dante. "Would it be okay if I called you 'uncle' and thought of you as-"
"Godfather? I'm down for that." Dante grinned. "I always liked you and Rose anyway."
Maria Jr. smiled and then hugged him. "I guess that means I'm a brother to you?" Souji curiously asked.
"A little."
"Hey, I'm cool with that." Souji grinned.
Later…
Rose was lying down on Hina's lap and Maria Jr. cuddling up next to Souji as both of them smiled as Souji then looked over to Hina, who looked like her normal self again. "Hey, you feeling alright?"
"Yeah… I'm feeling better." She said with a smile.
"That's good to hear." He said as they both leaned in and kissed.
With Marisa…
"Yo, Cody… have you-"
"I have!" Worldwalker gave her the list. "What do you think?"
Marisa read through it and then smiled. "This… is perfect. Now… let's start my wedding, shall we?"
"I'm still trying to figure out where the location in Gensokyo would be for your wedding."
"Duh… the Hakurei Shrine!"
"Oh, of course."
Later, at the Hakurei Shrine…
BGM: Sky of Scarlet Perception (Touhou 10.5: Scarlet Weather Rhapsody)
"I do say, I'm honored that you want me to do Marisa's wedding." Toadsworth said. "I thought you would have Master Rinnosuke doing the honors."
Rinnosuke chuckled. "Hey, I'm more than happy to be the Ring Bearer. I'm just thrilled that she's getting married… after she kept saying she never planned and never wanted to get married."
"Plans change." Reimu said, as she was the Maid of Honor. "I'm… still trying not to cry that I'm the Maid of Honor…"
"I'm just happy that I'm a Bridesmaid!" Hina giggled.
"Hey, I'm excited that I'm one too." Kai said.
"Same!" Maria smiled.
"Don't forget me!" Abby said as there was a nice gentle breeze.
"So, best man, eh?" Rinnosuke asked, elbowing Souji.
"Well, you know…" Souji chuckled with a smile.
"Hmm, I wonder what's keeping Miss Kirisame?" Toadsworth wondered.
"She's likely nervous… I never seen her like that." Reimu said. "Then again, ever since what happened at Sabrina's wedding, we're just taking precautions." She said, looking up to see Bowser's airships with the Koopa Troop and Bowser on the lookout.
"I'm amazed you did this for every other wedding too even though Maleficent and Xehanort were quiet for the longest time." Rinnosuke said.
"Well, it's better safe than sorry." Reimu nodded.
With Marisa…
Marisa paced around the bottom of the stairs, looking like an absolute nervous wreck. "Oh god… oh god oh god oh god…" She muttered. "This is happening…. I can't believe this is happening…!"
"You know, the sooner you get this done, the better." Worldwalker said, leaning on a tree. "Don't worry… I was nervous during my wedding too."
"Everyone's nervous during their wedding… I didn't think it'd happen to me. Gah! Why do I have so many butterflies in my stomach right now?! I'm marrying the love of my life and… and… AAAAAGH!" She unleashed a Master Spark on a few trees.
Worldwalker sweatdropped. "Feel better?"
"A little…" Marisa put the mini-hakkero away. "Let's get myself married."
"Right." He nodded and looked at the flower girls, who just so happened to be Rose, Maria Jr and the CPU Candidates.
"I never thought I'd actually be a flower girl, yet here we are…" Uni said.
Nepgear smiled. "We're doing this for Marisa."
"Yeah."
"Now… let's do this!" Ram grinned.

BGM: Zelda's Lullaby (The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword)
Reimu's eyes widened. "Oh, she's coming." She said as they all stood up and saw Marisa walking down the aisle, looking like she was ready to puke at any second, but she wasn't going to do that as she walked down the middle while the girls were throwing flowers around while Neptune could hardly contain herself.
"Oooh! My sister looks so adorable!" Neptune whispered.
"Shhh." Noire scolded a little… while trying her hardest not to fangirl over her sister being a flower girl in the process and as soon as Marisa got to her lover, they all sat down and the flower girls sat near their loved ones.
Toadsworth cleared his throat. "We are gathered here today-"
End BGM
A portal opened up on the airships and then the surprise visitor managed to knock them all out before surprisingly taking out Bowser easily before jumping off the airship and landing on the ground before walking forward.
"-To wed Marisa Kirisame and Dante in-"
The visitor picked up the pace.
"-The many Gods. If there-"
The visitor cracked his knuckles.
"-Are any objections to this union, speak now or forever old your peace."
At first, there was silence…
And then…
A low deep growl was heard.
Everyone froze up, looking around and wondering who let out that growl while Nora looked at Ruby's stomach. "Shhh!" She scolded Ruby's belly.
"It wasn't mine!" Ruby said.
Another deep growl was heard.
"Hey Grif…"
"Yeah?"
"You don't think…"
"I wish I could tell you no…"
They heard footsteps as Hina gasped in horror, having a feeling she knew who that was. They slowly turned to see none other than the Meta approaching them, and they also saw a Heartless symbol on his chest plate. He kept walking and stopped once he reached a certain row, sensing something and looked over at Tucker.
"Um… what are you doing?" Tucker asked as Meta quickly grabbed Tucker, growling in anger before Sigma appeared.
"You seem feisty as always." Sigma smirked before appearing next to Meta's shoulder and then Meta shoved Tucker down and before anyone could react, Meta suddenly disappeared and then reappeared in front of Hina and then grabbed her, and then suddenly disappeared along with her.
"HINA!" Souji yelled in horror as everyone was complete shock.
Chief stood up and pulled out his Assault Rifle. "We need to locate Hina right now."
"I'm on it." Tony said as he was in his Iron Man armor. "Alright… they're at the Scarlet Devil Mansion."
Marisa's fists clenched and hopped on a broom. "Don't worry Hina… I'm coming!" She said and took off while the ones who helped Hina take down Meta in Reach looked at each other and nodded as they took off.
"Come on, Uni… we're going." Noire said.
"We're going to fight THAT?" Uni asked.
Noire transformed into Black Heart. "Yes."
"I'm not going to allow Meta to take my daughter away from me!" Roxas said as Namine agreed.
Xarina transformed into Splatoon Heart and picked up Demyx as Nan quickly summoned his motorcycle and hopped on while Kai and Maria transformed into their HDD, while Samus activated her armor, then Kratos grew his Icarus wings, then Flandre and Remilia flew up along with Reimu.
"You guys stay here! We'll go deal with that freak!" Reimu said, picking up Dante and flew off.
"Aww, I wanted to go help too." Rose said.
"It'd be best if you stayed here… I have a feeling Meta will be too powerful… even for you." Sabrina suggested.
Rose nodded. "Got it."
"Hmm… now where did those Blood Gulch morons go?" Aria wondered.
At the Scarlet Devil Mansion…
Meta reappeared in Patchouli's library and threw Hina to the side and growled. "This place is perfect for your demise." Sigma translated for him.
Hina got up. "Really Meta… you couldn't handle the fact that I finally defeated you so you decided to come back as a Heartless? I have to admire your dedication, but I have Sheila back. There's nothing left for you to take!"
Meta growled. "Oh, we'll take your life and take Sheila once again."
"What?!" Sheila exclaimed in horror.
"Don't worry, Sheila… I'm not going to let that happen." Hina said, transforming into Halo Heart and summoning the SAW. "Let's dance, Meta!"
BGM: Boss Battle (Red vs Blue: Revelation)
Halo Heart shot Meta with the SAW, but he quickly kicked up Patchouli's desk to block the bullets before kicking it to her, forcing her to front flip as she summoned a Gravity Hammer and ran over, swinging it but Meta ducked it and punched her in the gut before using an uppercut to knock her into the air.
Halo Heart recovered, summoning two Magnum's and shooting him but he rolled out of the way before bringing out his own Magnum and shooting her but the bullets kept hitting each other instead of their intended targets.
She then brought out a Rocket Launcher and shot him, but he punched the ground to create a bubble shield. "Sheila… Tex!" She cued.
"Right!" Sheila nodded.
Activating Speed Boost!
"Strength boost is now active!"
Halo Heart ran forward very quickly and then punched Meta hard enough to send him flying through several bookshelves and toppling them over as if they were dominoes as she then looked around for him, transforming into Next Halo and using Promethean Vision, looking around for him.
Meta appeared behind her after using active camouflage and punched her in the back to make her go flying back into the bookshelves as Meta saw a bust of Remilia Scarlet as he picked it up and then threw it as Next Halo got up and then the bust hit her in the head, knocking her down as Meta ran over as she tried to get up and then kicked her to a wall.
Next Halo activated her jetpack as her feet touched the wall and sprung from the wall, summoning an Energy Sword and hitting him, slashing him repeatedly before punching him into another bookshelf where it fell on top of him.
Next Halo closed her eyes, turning back into Halo Heart as she summoned a flamethrower and burnt all the books right on top of him before dismissing it. "Hmph. That should do it." She said and walked away, but then the books exploded, some of them hitting her and dazing her a little bit before she snapped out of it.
I had a feeling that didn't do anything. Tex said.
"Well, it was worth a shot." Halo Heart said, looking around for Meta again as he reappeared next to her and punched her in the gut and using an uppercut to knock her up in the air as he jumped up and scissor kicked her down as he landed and kicked her near the entrance of the library.
Meta growled. "Hey Hina, you remember this, don't you?" Sigma translated as Meta brought out a very familiar weapon… the Brute Shot.
End BGM
Halo Heart's eyes widened, her body completely paralyzed in fear.
That Brute Shot…
That same god damned Brute Shot that destroyed her eye in Reach...
Her breathing quickened, sweat was coming down her forehead, fear was seen in her eyes and her whole body was trembling.
"Yes… you do remember this." Sigma smirked. "Just looking at it brings back painful memories, doesn't it? You desperately want to fight… but looking at this weapon just brings terror to your body."
"Sh-sh-shut up…!" Halo Heart exclaimed. "I-I'm not… T-terrified…!"
"The terror in your voice says another." Sigma said.
Hina… let me take over… Hina!
Tex's voice was slowly becoming a blur for Halo Heart… and she could only do one thing.
Halo Heart screamed in terror as Sigma smirked… and then once Meta took a step, she took a step back before she ran off.
"After her!"
Halo Heart turned back into Hina, desperately trying to get away from Meta as he fired continuous shots and kept reloading until he trapped her into a bathroom, where she locked the door.
"Now… that's not very smart of you." Sigma said as Hina sat there, not knowing what to do and cried, holding her hands over her head in terror, wishing to wake up from this nightmare… but it was only about to get worse.
"Little pigs… little pigs! Let me come in!" Sigma said as Hina said nothing and with one desperate attempt, she summoned her Keyblade, her body violently shaking and aimed it at the door as tears were going down her cheek.
Sigma smirked. 'Not by the hair of the chinny chin chin'." He seemed to have taunted Hina there. "And then I'll huff… and I'll puff… and I'll blow your house in!" He said as Meta proceeded to hit the door with the Brute Shot over and over.
Hina whimpered, but she didn't back down, as she aimed her Keyblade at him, silently sobbing in the process before there was a huge hole in the door and then Meta peeked into the hole… but before Sigma could say anything else…
"HEEEEEEEEEEEEERE'S MARISA!" A voice yelled and then got blasted with a Final Spark, sending him flying across the hallway.
"M-Mistress…?!" Hina asked.
Meta got up and growled. "Oh look, the witch is here." Sigma growled.
"How dare you… HOW DARE YOU INTERRUPT MY WEDDING!" Marisa screamed. "AND I SEE YOU'RE TERRORIZING HINA AGAIN! YOU JUST DON'T KNOW WHEN TO QUIT, DO YOU?!"
Meta growled again. "I like to think of it as a final effort to destro-… what the hell is that music?"
BGM: Los Dos Laredos Acordeones (Red vs Blue)
The music seemed to be getting closer… until suddenly, a Warthog crashed through the windows and parked near the bathroom and then the Blood Gulch Crew all crawled out of the Warthog.
End BG
It was then that everyone else arrived as Blue Heart immediately kicked open the door. "Hina! Are you alright?!"
"N-No… I'm not…" She quietly said.
Unversed Heart growled. "So you decided to come back from the grave and decided to terrorize her with that Brute Shot, eh? That's low."
Sigma chuckled. "If it isn't the cavalry."
"You're going to pay for this Meta." Lelouch, in his Iron Zero armor, said.
"Oh, are you sure about that?" Sigma asked. "You see, Meta is far more powerful as a Heartless. I'm not sure that even the great Master Chief will be able to stop him."
"We'll see about that." Chief said as Souji pulled in Hina and hugged her tightly.
"Now I know for sure to destroy you after making a mess of my mansion." Remilia said while Flandre cracked her knuckles.
"I'm going to enjoy this." Reimu said.
"You know, this place is too crowded. Why don't we go into more of an open area?" Sigma suggested as Meta snapped his fingers as a portal opened up and sucked them all in… as they appeared… in Sidewinder.
"This place again…" Samus quietly said, remembering how Isaac and Anti-Isaac brutally beat the crap out of each other here.
Hina… I can tell you're also very angry with Meta appearing… You're more angry than scared, right? Tex asked.
"Y-yeah…"
Then let me fight Meta… I'm not afraid of the Brute Shot.
"Okay…"
Hina closed her eyes and opened them as her eyes turned red. "Hello, cockbite. Remember me?"
Kratos raised an eyebrow. "What is this…?"
"Let's just say Tex took over her body and is now 'Hina-Tex'." Unversed Heart said.
"Hmph, whatever it takes for us to win against this creature." Kratos said as they all stood for combat.
Sigma chuckled darkly. "You will all perish."
BGM: Genesong (Halo 2 Anniversary)
Meta ran forward and punched Shirley in her Kamen Rider Kivala form, knocking her back but she quickly recovered as Iron Zero and Iron Man fired beams of energy at Meta, but he walked forward, not seeming to care about them as he got blasted with electricity from Thor's Mjolnir.
Hina-Tex ran forward and summoned the Railgun as she punched him but he blocked the punch, but he then got hit with a Railgun shot to knock him back as Unversed Heart and Blue Heart slashed him several times before he grabbed the two of them and sent them flying as he was bombarded by bullets from the Blood Gulch Crew before getting stuck with a Plasma Grenade and was blasted to a wall.
Chief ran to him and punched him, but Meta blocked the attack and punched him in the stomach before using the Brute Shot to shoot him down, but Iron Man quickly grabbed him while Washington and Carolina shot him.
Marisa brought out a spell card along with Reimu. "Love Storm: Starlight Typhoon!"
"Divine Arts: Omnidirectional Demon-Binding Circle!"
"MAZE OF LOVE!" Flandre yelled as Remilia charged up the Gungnir and then threw it and while Meta was dodging the Danmaku, he clapped his hands together, grabbing the Gungnir as it was barely close enough to pierce his helmet.
"WHAT?!" Remilia yelled as Meta threw it back, but they quickly dodged as there was an explosion behind them as Flandre flew over and pulled back her arm and punched him as Meta punched her, as their fists connected, creating a powerful shockwave, but Flandre was still powerful enough to knock him back.
Splatoon Heart quickly fired from her Inkzooka while Nan summoned Chaos Arondight. "Chaos… SPEAR!" He yelled but Meta quickly dodged that as Hina-Tex came up from behind and punched him hard enough to make him go flying but he recovered as he was then hit with tons of rockets, then was hit in the head with Demyx's Sitar, then Roxas and Namine bombarded him with Keyblade attacks, mostly Sonic Blade and Zantetsuken.
Carolina ran forward and punched Meta, but he blocked it and then roundhouse kicked her to the side as Black Heart and Black Sister attacked him before Samus used her Grappling Beam to pull him close to her. "Kratos!"
Kratos let out a war cry and slashed him repeatedly with his Blades of Exile before punching him to the ground, but then Meta came back up and punched him, but Kratos blocked it with his arms and then was hit by every one of their attacks as he shot them repeatedly with his Brute Shot, as they dodged the shots but were still hit by the blast radius.
Reimu flew over and hit him several times with her attacks until Meta grabbed her by the throat and threw her down, aiming his Brute Shot at her neck but Marisa unleashed a Master Spark to send him to a rocky wall, and then Hina-Tex summoned two Spartan Lasers and gave one to Chief as they both hit him with the lasers, then Reimu got back up and used Fantasy Nature to deal tons of damage and then Remilia threw the Gungnir, as it was a direct hit that time.
Meta fell on both of his knees, growling as Sigma wasn't looking so hot either. "Nngh… we won't… fall to you easily…!"
Carolina noticed the Brute Shot on the ground and had an idea. "Someone distract him!" She said.
Sarge chuckled. "Yo, Meta! Come over here, you big son of a bitch!" He said as Meta growled and ran forward as he attempted to grab the Brute Shot, but Dante got in the way and impaled him before shooting him repeatedly to knock him down as Meta attempted to get back up… but Carolina stepped on his chest and aimed the Brute Shot at his head.
"…Son of a bitch…" Sigma said as Carolina looked away and pulled the trigger, completely blowing up Meta's head and destroying Sigma in the process.
End BGM
"There we go… it's done." Hina-Tex said, watching Meta's body fade away and then looked at the Brute Shot. "You might want to get rid of that, just in case."
"Way ahead of you." Carolina said, tossing it to the side and then burying it in snow.
"Good…" Hina-Tex nodded before slowly changing back into Hina.
"Hina… are you okay?" Souji asked.
Hina looked away, looking completely distressed. "No…" She muttered as tears ran down her cheek again.
Nan sighed. "I was afraid of that."
"Dammit… if Meta didn't come back, this wouldn't have happened." Marisa said as Roxas and Namine immediately hugged their daughter as she was crying as they went back to Gensokyo where Hina sat by her parents as everyone looked at her sympathetically.
"Poor girl…" Kai sighed.
"Now… shall we resume where we left off?" Toadsworth asked after showing some sympathy for Hina.
"Yeah." Marisa said, sadly glancing over at Hina. Stay strong…
"Now, do you Marisa Kirisame… take Dante as your lawful wedded husband?"
"I do…" Marisa nodded with sort of a sad smile… mostly sad because of Hina.
"And do you, Dante… take Marisa as your lawfully wedded wife?"
"I do."
"Without any further ado… you may kiss the bride!" Toadsworth said as Marisa looked at Dante and she grabbed Dante and then kissed him while wrapping her arms around him as everyone clapped… everyone but Hina that is…
Later… at the Citadel…
Marisa rested her head on Dante's shoulder, very happy that she's now married to the love of her life, but also... feeling a bit sad too as she looked at another couch and seeing Hina looking really depressed on the couch and resting on Souji's lap while Kai and Maria were also trying to make her feel better along with her parents, Xarina, Demyx and Nan.
It was then that Sabrina sat down next to Marisa, holding a beer bottle in her hand. "Hey..."
"Oh... hey." Marisa said and looked at the bottle. "I'm still surprised Aria got you into that."
"You get used to the bad taste... it's actually not that bad..." She said and took a drink. "Still, I get loopy after a drink or two, but... hey, what can you do?" She asked and then sighed. "I understand what you're going through..."
"Huh?" Marisa looked at her. "What do you mea-... oh... right, Maleficent crashed your wedding."
"Yeah... you're probably going through a lot of emotions..."
"I am. Anger... frustration... sadness... horror... everything."
"I wished no one else would've had the same thing like I had... but... look what happened... after a series of uneventful weddings... your wedding is crashed."
"Yeah... dammit... why did it have to be my wedding? I was already really nervous."
"I was nervous too." Dante said as Marisa hugged him.
"Still, I'm always here for you." Sabrina said.
"You always are." Marisa nodded and the girls hugged, then Dante got up and got two beers for him and Marisa as the three of them talked as they drank, while the two of them were making fun of an already loopy Sabrina but she laughed it off as they had quite the interesting conversation, while also looking concerned for Hina at the same time.
Meanwhile, with Felix and Mephiles…
"Mephiles, I hate to say it… but Meta has been eliminated."
"AGAIN?!" Mephiles yelled and then punched a wall in frustration. "I thought that Heartless boost would give him the upper edge!"
"Relax, we can do this without Meta… besides, I think I know of something that can help us."
"And what would that be?" Mephiles growled.
Felix chuckled. "Have you ever heard of something called… The Haltmann Works Company?"
*whistling casually after Felix mentioned Haltmann Works Company*
Also, if you're curious about the writing style change when Maria was in Azeroth with Worldwalker, Cody and I wrote that scene together.
