Didn't take me to long. So here it is Chapter 3 may be a wait for chapter 4. I didn't plan on the Arrival being so long. But the next chapter will have LOADS of anime characters. I promise.

Chapter 3 Arrival Part 3

"30 members?" Kurama said. "Why is there so many?"

"Apparently there is also a note that goes along with the sudden crew change."

"And where is that?"

"I'll bring it onto the screen." NAVI changed the screen that was still pulling in members. A formal document was now displayed. It had the Universal Alliance seal.

Kurama,

There has been a catoptrics event after you have been sent with the Kakumei League Space Station. The Universal Alliance aspects that the Yami League is behind it all. The Yami League has obtained important information from the UA which is currently under investigation.

Due to the events which can't be fully disclosed, UA has decided to allow more members into the Kakumei League.

Take care of our future,

Universal Alliance

"So, that's it?" Kurama asked. He frowned. He was a little disappointed but that was how the UA acted. They didn't give much away for any reason.

"Yes that is it," NAVI answered. "My understanding is that the Kakumei League will now be taking distress calls."

"Distress calls?" He felt a little puzzled. The UA never mentioned any of this to him. He was supposed to be in charge after all. "From where?"

"The distress calls will be from separate galaxies, different dimensions, different times, and so forth."

"I understand completely," he said rather quickly.

"Do you now?"

"Yes, NAVI. I do." Kurama paused for a moment. "A lot of time, money, technology, and power went into building the Kakumei League Space Station. To use it for just capturing the Yami League would be a waste." It actually would be. There was nothing that could come close to this. Even the Yami League head quarters couldn't complete with the KLS he expected. He also expected for them to do something else with it. He was right. He wished that they had told him before hand. They did have the power to do so.

Kurama sighed. He might as well get started. "Let me see the profiles. And let me know when they are all here."

"Will do Kurama-sensei," NAVI responded. She made the first profile display on the screen.

Kurama frowned. He knew the ten first chosen crew members by heart along with the staff now he had to look at over double that in such a small period of time. He read a little of the first profile and looked at the picture.

The picture had a young man. He held a goofy grin upon his face. He had a straw hat upon his head that was all that Kurama could see.

Name: Monkey D. Luffy a.k.a. Straw-Hat, Rubber-man

Age: 17

Hair: Black

Eyes: Black

Height: 5'8"

Weight: 141.1 lbs

Occupation: Pirate. More specifically Captain of the Straw-hat Pirate Fleet.

'A pirate?' Kurama thought. He found that the UA choosing a pirate to be a little odd. But he reminded himself that a profile couldn't show him how a person truly was. He looked back at the profile reading a little more.

Ability: Ability to stretch to any given length like rubber.

There wasn't much he could remember in the time allowed. So Kurama ended up reading the profiles until after their ability.

"If you don't feel up to the challenge Kurama-sensei, I can always take over," NAVI said breaking him from his concentration.

"There is no need for that NAVI. I am fine," Kurama replied back. He knew the reason why he was put in charge but he couldn't tell her. He couldn't be that cruel even to a computer. He still viewed her as a human being. She was sort of like being real. It was kind of hard to describe exactly what she was.

"How about we work together?" Kurama decided after a few seconds of decision making. "There are both things that we are lacking. It would make more sense this way."

"Working together is fine with me," NAVI said pausing for a moment. "There is nothing that I am lacking. I just ran a search."

Kurama sighed. "NAVI?"

"Yes?"

"Please leave it as I say. It is hard to say."

"As you wish. By the way almost all members are there."

"Almost?" He frowned again. "Why is there almost?"

"Apparently some can't be taken at the moment due to some unforeseen issues."

"I guess we will need to try at a latter date." Kurama sighed once again. It was a waste for him to read these profiles then or to even scan over them. He couldn't tell which ones would be in the room. NAVI would know but even then it was too late. He had to go to the room.

"I'll import you into the room, Kurama-sensei," NAVI said as if reading his mind.

"No you won't," Kurama said quickly. "I'll take the elevator that way it is better."

"How could it be better? By my calculations it is faster to be teleported in."

"NAVI trust me it is better this way." He rose to his feet and turned around. His long strides carried him towards the door.

"I still don't understand."

"There is nothing to understand NAVI. It is how I say it is."

"That is completely illogical."

"NAVI?" Kurama said showing displeasure in his voice. With this she finally said nothing. Or maybe she was actually mad at him. NAVI felt so real it was rather hard at times.

The door to the elevator swung into the wall. He walked inside. He turned around inside. He watched as the door closed. He didn't bother telling NAVI where to go. He knew she would be rotating the First Level floor. The door would soon open up and lead to the "Round Table Meeting Room."

Kurama walked into the "Round Table Meeting Room." There he saw the crew members that he had already meet. They were sitting together in a group.

Those who saw him all walk threw the door sprang upon him. He had so many questions spring at him that it would have made his ears bleed if he didn't ignore them. He had a mission to do. He walked straight threw the crowd. He walked right into the table.

The table wasn't a standard table. It was large and round as the name of the room suggested. It was as if someone had cut a giant whole in the middle of it that was Kurama's distention. So he could see and be heard by everyone. Once they all sat down.

There were more then enough seats for everyone there. Kurama walked straight threw the table. NAVI had made it disappear behind him. It reappeared not allowing those who followed him enter.

"EVERYONE PLEASE REMAIN CALM," Kurama said in a load in the middle of the table. The room became silent with his words. Everyone turned to look at him.

"Remain calm?"

"Who the hell are you?"

"Why am I here?"

The only few questions Kurama could hear. The rest were all muddle together. He guessed they pretty much wanted to know the same things. He sighed this was going to be a lot of work. "EVERYONE SIT DOWN."

"Sit down?"

"PLEASE SIT DOWN AND I'LL EXPLAIN EVERYTHING," Kurama said speaking above the questions.

A few sat down but not many. Kurama sighed. People can sure be so stubborn at times.

"NAVI can you help me?"

"Yes, Kurama-sensei," replied a voice as if it was all around the people in the room.

"What was that?" Some of them said. They starred around looking bewildered trying to figure out where the voice came from.

NAVI sent a small circuit of electricity into the room. It aimed for those not sitting down. It zapped them. They moved forward trying to get away from the zaps. It stopped only when each of them touched a seat. It was a big enough hint for them to sit down so they did.

"That was a little extreme NAVI," Kurama said sighing. He wondered how mad they would be. He was in a tough situation as it is then NAVI goes and tries to electrocute them. Hopefully they were not too offended by it. Kurama noticed that most of them just laughed. It made him feel loads better. There was way to much power in this room. Even if the room was huge it felt crammed in due to all the power the people generated.

"Little extreme but effective," NAVI responded to Kurama.

Loads of people laughed. It made Kurama smile too. He was still trying to figure out what to tell them. He might as well give them it straight.

"You all are wondering why you are here. You are here because you are needed."

"Not this stupid needed crap again," a voice said. Kurama didn't even have to turn he knew who it was.

"Let me finish Orphen," he paused for a moment. "I will give it to your straight. The universe in the future is almost completely destroyed." For a second there no on said anything. They were digesting the information that he had just said.

He could hear an onslaught of questions following the silence along with murmurs about it. He waited for them to die down. One man spoke after the silence.

"I am Van Slanzar de Fanel. King of Fanelia. I demand to know why I was brought here," a boy said. He had short black hair. He wore a red sleeveless shirt which had a slit in the front. String was intertwined closing off the slit.

Van Fenel's out burst brought another onslaught of questions. Kurama sighed. He knew this was going to be a long night. He waited until everyone was quiet before he continued on. They finally figured out that was the only way he would proceed with an explanation.

"Whole worlds have been destroyed due to the Yami League," Kurama said. He looked around the room allowing those to adjust to it. He heard inquires about the Yami League and what worlds were destroyed but for now he ignored them.

"The Yami League is a large group of criminals. By force they got control of the Universe and destroyed much of it," he paused for a moment.

"Why does this matter to me?" Van Fanel asked.

"Like I care," said Orphen in the same displeasured voice as Van.

Kurama heard a few others murmur the same things. He closed his eyes for a moment before deciding on something. "NAVI please show them the pictures."

The room grew dark. Everyone looked above as the orbs dimmed. When they turned back a three-d image displayed in front of them. It was a hologram of a planet. There wasn't much left of it.

"So what, a world was destroyed it has nothing to do with me," Orphen said.

Kurama heard the heroes murmur again. "NAVI please display Gaea."

The plant Gaea displayed upon the screen. Van looked at the planet. It was his home. He had only seen it a few times like this when he visited the Mystic Moon. He could see the Mystic Moon, Earth, behind Gaea. His heart floated into his chest.

"NAVI bring them on the tour of Gaea," Kurama said. It would be a shock for Van. He knew but it was best to just give Van it straight.

The three-d image changed. It was as if a camera had swooped in close. It guided them threw the skies of Gaea. Finally after the image broke threw the clouds they could see an ocean and land below. The image zoomed in closer. They could see that the land was in rubble and the ocean turned black and stormy. Giant waves crashed into the land. There it stopped and made a path above the land. The forsaken land could be seen as the image moved across the land.

"That's Gaea?" Van cried out. He stood up. His face displayed his shock. His hands rested himself on the table. "Who did this?"

"The Yami League," Kurama said in a solemn voice.

"What about Escaflowne?"

"Escaflowne was useless compared to the advance technology of the Yami League," Kurama informed him.

"Escaflowne was useless?" Van said in disbelief. It couldn't be true Escaflowne was made from the technology of Atlantis it shouldn't have been destroyed. It was the toughest guymelef on Gaea. Nothing should have destroyed it. He gripped the table in anger. He swallowed hard realizing a more important question. "What about my people?"

Kurama's eyes displayed great sadness. They gave him away. "I am sorry Van. No one was spared when the Yami League attacked."

"No one was spared?" Tears sprang to Van's eyes. He fell back to his chair. He was in great emotional pain. The room became silent. All there could feel Van's grief.

"Orphen?" Kurama called breaking the silence.

He looked up at Kurama after he said his name. He had been watching Van like many others had. There was nothing he could say to Van and he didn't dare too. He wasn't as heartless as he would like others to believe him to be. "What?" He finally said.

"NAVI show Orphen the Tower of Fang," Kurama said his voice displaying the same solemnest he had with Van.

The image changed. It disappeared and was replaced quickly by another image. It displayed an isolated place. There was rubble everywhere. One large chunk could still be seen even with the blowing sands trying to cover everything. The chunk looked as if it was a castle's tower for those eyes that the image was meant for knew exactly what it stood for.

"The Tower of Fang has fallen?" Orphen cried out. He was also in disbelief. Anger over came him. "This just can't be true."

"But it is true," Kurama said. "All those who oppose the Yami League were destroyed. But the Tower of Fang was one of the lucky ones."

"Lucky?" Orphen asked. 'How could they be lucky? Everything was destroyed. What kind of power did the Yami League have?' he thought.

"They were lucky for some survived while others didn't," Kurama said. He hated telling them these things but it had to be said. It was the truth. But the universe with the Yami League as the rulers was a harsh reality. Countless lives had been lost.

The Tower of Fang disappeared. NAVI had done it. She could probably feel Orphen's sadness. The images now displayed other worlds devastated by the Yami League. The room was silent as the screens were displayed for several minutes.

"How the hell do we stop them?" Orphen said finally breaking the silence.
