They soon saw the bus parked nearby.
"Finally, she figured out how to work the brakes." Jackal said.
"Yeah, I just tuned the engine and bam." Rosalind said.
"Gotcha! The real Rosalind would never figure out how to do that! Show yourself, Purveyor!" Juliet said.
The scenery then became really trippy as a female hippie zombie and Plant man appeared from a hole.
"Ah, welcome sisters and brothers. Let's move beyond the land of perception." She said.
"And enjoy the wonderful fragrance of your incoming deaths." Plant Man said holding a rose and sniffing it. "Ah. As sweet as any rose."
"Whoo, ever heard of deodorant you two?" Juliet said.
"I'm a robot. We don't have scents. Well, maybe the junk robot we keep in Flux's trash dump, but other than him, we don't have scents." Plant Man said. "But if I did, it would be the scent of an elegant rose."
The zombie played her sitar some more.
"Now, open your hearts and let my music guide you… into a world of everlasting peace, and rot, and HELL." She said.
Mariska

BAD fashion sense
"Hippies. Why did it have to be hippies?!" Jackal said as the battle soon began.
"Now, how about we start off fresh like a spring breeze. Flower Forest!" Plant Man shouted as random flowers bloomed from the ground.
"Dont touch them, they're trapped somehow." Jexi said.
"Oh is that what you think? Thorn Whip!" Plant Man shouted snapping his whip down the hole as they rose from the flowers, hitting everyone nearby them.
Mariska then shot the same type of bubbles she was inside, trapping a few, including Yu.
"Come on, Brother Yu. Let go and become empty. Humans are not worth it." Mariska said.
"No.. I am far from empty!" Yu said.
"Come on. Just give up. First hero to tell me who has the cells gets to live to see another day." Plant Man said.
Yu then glowed blue as he broke out of the bubble through sheer power.
"What? Impossible!" Mariska said.
"Izanagi!" Yu shouted as his persona sliced Mariska in half.
"You got her!" Usopp said.
"Did you really?" Plant man said as the halves were still alive.
"One truth becomes… two!" Mariska said as the haves regenerates into two bodies, then splitting up again. "Two truths become...four!"
"Mariska has a very special ability. No matter how many times you slice her in half, there will always be more of her." Plant Man said.
"Oh, that's just cheap!" Yosuke said.
"Hey, we're just using our abilities to our fullest." Plant Man said.
"Okay, shoot the copies until we find the real one." Jackal said.
"Yeah. Good luck with that. Plant Barrier!" Plant Man shouted as Mariska was surrounded by a barrier of petals.
"Time for a new merican yo-kai, courtesy of yours truly!" USApyon said tossing a medal. "That one should make Plant Man stop it."
"Okay. Come on out my friend! Calling Marunugget! Yo-kai Medal, do your thing!" Sunset said.
Ladies and Gentlemen….Mysterious Tribe!"
A stage then appeared with carribean style yokai as a nugget with arms and legs and a baseball cap appeared.
Booshiggy!
Booshiggy!
Mysterious
Tribe!
"Marunugget!" He said as Plant Man stopped his barrier.
"You know what, I'm leaving it all to you, Mariska!" Plant Man said.
"Yeah! So he's got ablities like Dismarelda!" Rainbow said.
"Not exactly." Marunugget said. "I make anyone I inspirit pass their responsibilities off to the nearest person."
"Got any attacks that can deal with her copies?"
"Afraid not." Valentine said looking at the encyclopedia. "But he has gotten rid of the barrier. We can hit that hippie bitch now."
The group whaled on her until one remained.
"Now die, hippie!" Jackal said slicing her in half.
"No, you werent supposed to cut her in half again!" Yosuke said as she divided back into two, then four and then into eight.
"Seek the truth before your eyes, and the door shall open." Mariska said.
"It's useless, just tell us who has the cells, and…" Plant Man said before being sliced in half himself.
"You talk too much." Jackal said being impaled by a thorn.
"Yeah. So do you." Plant Man said before exploding.
"Plant Barrier acquired." Mega Man said.
"Jackal, you alright?" Juliet asked.
"More or less. Aimed closer to the right and he would have gotten a vital organ." Jackal said.
Mariska then used multiple contraptions to attack.
"Now let's end this, and try to aim for something that wont let her multiply." Jexi said.
"The collarbone. That'll get her, but we cant get close." Evan said.
"I'm on it. Rakshasa!" Yu said as a demon appeared and cut through lots of buses, as another one barreled to sunset.
"Ara Mitama!" Yu said as another blocked it.
"High Pixie! King Frost! Pyro Jack!"
All of the personas did what they did as Mariska was running out of options.
"Whoa! That guy is a machine!" Jackal said as Yu leapt and dealt the final blow on Mariska's collarbone, shattering the illusion and Juliet followed.
"Heavy. Peace out, way out." She said as she was decapitated. "Meus vita rege, pro nefario coepto!"
"We did it, we, huh? Where is everybody?" Juliet said as many were gone, as was the captive Rosalind, leaving her, nick and a handful of girls.
"Where's my darling Gray?" Juvia asked.
"And we're back at the crash site?" Lucy said looking at the still unconscious Jibanyan.
Juliet's phone then rang. "Oh, my phone!" She said getting it out. "Who is this and what have you done with our friends?"
"Heeeeeey, pretty ladies!~ Are you ready to boogie woogie?" Said an autotuned voice.
"Yeah. And are you missing a few guys?" Said another voice.
"Video Man, and who's with you?" Roll asked.
"These ones, you ain't gonna level up on.~" the autotuned voice said.
"Just another Purveyor of darkness. Now listen, here's how it's gonna work. I kidnapped those guys using my abilities. I've already searched them and they didn't have the cells, which means one of you girls have them." Video Man said.
"You want your friends back, you gotta win a game with us." Said the voice. "Meet us at the Fulci Fun Center. I cant wait to party with your corpses like it's 1983!" The phone then hung up.
"Okay, counting everyone that was lost, it's just me, Juvia, Lemon, and the rest of the girls." Juliet said.
"Yes. Well, I think I'm out since we need someone here for the counter." Applejack said.
"But we cant go in, it's obviously a trap!" Nick said.
"I know that, but they have Gray! And I'm stuck with all of my biggest love rivals in all of history." Juvia said.
"And VideoMan isn't going to just hand them over even if we do give him the cells." Roll said.
"And who the heck is gonna help us, your dad?" Lucy said as a motorcycle pulled up. On it was a man in a zebra pattern jacket and jeans with a pompadour and chains.
"Hey, baby." He said.
"Daddy!" Juliet said.
"Daddy?" Nami said.

"Now this… is one macho dude." Jibanyan said regaining consciousness.
"Jibanyan, I have something important for you to do." Sunset said to the cat. "It's probably the most important thing you'll ever have to do in your life."
She then took out the cells. "These are every cell we collected so far. We scanned the area and know where the largest concentration of them are. We're trusting you to take these and rejoin them with the other cells. It's your turn to be the hero."
Jibanyan then gained a serious look as he took the jars. "You can count on meow!" Jibanyan said.
He then scurried off, Gideon getting some extra sidecars.
"So, we gonna get our family back or what?" He said.
