- The Guardian Realm -
"Glad to see you guys alive and well,"
Jiraiya, Naruto, Usagi, Raven, Yoruichi, and Takato were making their way to Tatsuki's room. Out of all of them, she was in the worst condition. The girl was sent to the healing chambers like the rest of them. But unlike them, Tatsuki has been in the chambers for three days due to the severity of her injuries.
"How bad were her injuries again?" Naruto had his arms folded behind his head, very curious about Tatsuki's condition. "Pervy Sage?" Jiraiya was silent for a few moments, feeling something the others didn't notice yet. Walking further through the hall, the others suddenly felt it. The air was thick, the air was hot, and it was becoming a bit difficult to breathe. The further they went, the thicker and hotter the air became, the more difficult it became for them all to breathe.
"What...what the hell...is this?"
Naruto collapses to one knee. Takato, the least effected, helps Naruto to his feet, a bit of sweat sliding down his face.
'This feeling,' Thought Jiraiya nervously. 'Is it Nami? No...it's different...very different,' Jiraiya turns to the children and speaks his voice low and serious. "Stay here; if any of you other than Takato go any further, you're bound to pass out. Takato...come with me," Jiraiya walks off with Takato hot on his heels.
Usagi huffs and crosses her arms over her chest.
"Just great...we come all this way and we can't go another step...wonderful,"
Raven wonders why she had to stay; she could take the heat with no problems. Not really caring, she draws out a book and begins reading. Naruto mimics Usagi, but flops on the ground, intent on waiting for the two to return, while thinking of recent events.
XxXxXxXxXx
Jiraiya and Takato stood outside the medical bay. The air was distorted from the heat, the walls were red, and seemed to be melting, but was in fact an illusion created from the heat waves. Inside, causing the massive heat wave was Tatsuki. The girl sat in her bed, knees brought to her chest with her head resting on her knees.
'Is she...sulking?' Thought Jiraiya astonished. 'This is similar to Nami's Depression Flames...but this...this is on a different level,' Knowing what to do, Jiraiya walks fearlessly through the flames.
"Are you crazy, those flames will burn you alive??" Shouts Takato.
Jiraiya speaks, he not stopping in his walk to Tatsuki.
"Don't worry, these flames are," Jiraiya was now at Tatsuki's side and places a hand on her shoulder, snapping her into reality. The flames in the room instantly fade, and the temperature drops. "Just illusions created by Tatsuki's emotions," Explains Jiraiya. "I'm surprise someone outside the Mars Royal Family is able to emit such flames," Tatsuki's glossy eyes glares into Jiraiya's.
"You...King...Jiraiya...right?"
Jiraiya smirks lightly.
"Just Jiraiya kid," Jiraiya catches the dark, guarded expression in Tatsuki's eyes. "Mind telling me what has you so...startled?"
Tatsuki's face scrunches up in a glare.
"I do mind," She snaps, but immediately turns to the bed. "I'm sorry, but I don't want to talk about it," Tatsuki's fists clinch and Jiraiya backs away.
"When you're feeling better, search us out, we'll be in the Dimension Mirror Room,"
Jiraiya and Takato leaves, but Takato casts Tatsuki a small worried glance on his way out, unknowingly angering the girl. Tatsuki grips her sheets tightly, a snarl forming, not believing how easily she was defeated, how easily she was frighten.
Flash
"You bitch, I'll kill you, I'll fucking kill you for that,"
Envy roars, and in a surge of energy, a monster stood in his place, it sneering down at the frighten Tatsuki.
"What...the hell are you?"
The monster doesn't answer, and charges Tatsuki, it moving at a surprisingly fast speed, catching Tatsuki off guard. It swings its tail at Tatsuki, connecting with her chest, sending her through the building behind her, and the two behind that. The monster laughs, and gives chase after the stun Tatsuki. Quickly reaching the girl, the monster found her struggling to her feet, blood dripping from the crack in her head. The monster laughs once more and roars, releasing a shockwave, knocking Tatsuki off her feet. A nasty, mocking laugh escapes the monster's mouth, and it speaks, revealing itself to be Envy.
"How ya like that Princess, you're not so tough now are ya?"
Envy lifts his large feet, the things, the people attached to his body wailing in agony, scaring Tatsuki senseless.
'What's with this messed up guy, I can sense so many, so many different souls within him. Was that what I was sensing before?'
Noticing the shadow beneath her growing larger, Tatsuki shakily looks up to see Envy's feet descending on her. Tatsuki attempts to roll out the way, but her legs were pinned by Envy's tail.
'No,'
Tatsuki screams as Envy's feet smash her into the ground.
Flash
"Dammit, damn, damn, damn, damn,"
Tatsuki slams her fist on the bed, tears falling from her eyes.
"How disgraceful, how embarrassing, I've gain so much power...and yet...nothing has changed, nothing has changed at all,"
A vision of a white-haired woman with glaring purple eyes flashes in Tatsuki's mind, and she bites her lip.
"Fuck, I'm pathetic...at this rate I'll never kill her,"
XxXxXxXxXx
Usagi stares at the ground, her head pounding. Holding it, she glares at Naruto and Takato hearing them laughing. As she continues to glare at him, Raven, Takato, and Jiraiya fades from her vision, followed by the world. It was just she and Naruto, but Naruto wasn't Naruto, but Prince Naruto, and he was staring at her, on his hands and knees, his armor broken, his hair coated in blood, his face covered in scars and blood, his eyes slowly losing life. Prince Naruto reaches out for her weakly, smiling a bloody smile.
"Serenity, I'm sorry, but I couldn't just lie there while everyone else fought, I had to, I had to do something,"
A memory suddenly assaults Usagi's mind.
Flash
"Listen Naruto, once I marry the Prince of Earth, I'll ask him for the procedure to heal you, so please, hold on,"
Serenity holds Prince Naruto's hand tightly, tears falling endlessly from her blurry crystal blue eyes. Naruto lies in his bed pale, his eyes dark from exhaustion, and he shake his head slowly.
"Don't do it Serenity, I won't allow you to marry someone you don't love, not for someone like me. It's my fault I'm like this; I should have listened to her,"
Serenity squeezes Naruto's hands tightly.
"Don't say that, we all made that mistake, and we'll be the ones to suffer for it. But not you, never you, the one who always followed his heart," Serenity kisses Naruto's forehead, and grins softly. "This time, allow me to be the responsible big sister who makes her own decisions and follows her heart, even if that decision puts the heart through so much pain. But if it can save your life; I'll even go to the deepest pits of the Dark Kingdom itself to save you if you were there, because you are my one and only little brother, and I love you,"
Flash
Usagi shakes her head of the memory. The memory made her heart ache for various reasons, but one of them she couldn't place, and she casts a small glance at Naruto, the boy was grinning once more, telling a stupid joke to the laughing Takato, he somehow getting it. Usagi saw Raven shaking her head, and glances back at her. Raven's footsteps slow so she could walk side by side with the blonde.
"Are you alright?"
Raven could sense Usagi's pain and confusion. The emotions she felt from her were something she only felt once before, but at the time those emotions were full of hate, exhaustion, fear, and uncertainty.
"I'm...fine...just remembering the past,"
Usagi's voice was strangely hollow, but Raven could feel the despair clutching her heart.
"Don't lose yourself to the past, it only brings trouble,"
Raven moves on, leaving Usagi to herself, knowing she needed time to think. Entering the Dimension Mirror Room after Takato, she saw Selenity, Yoruichi, and a woman who could pass off as Yoruichi's twin, except with red hair, tied in a long braid and red eyes, sitting at the table, arguing about something.
"That's impossible," Whispers Selenity, very shocked at the turn of events.
"It's not, we just saw it, stop trying to deny what's right there," Growls the red head.
"I'm not denying it; it's just impossible...who did it?" Sighs Selenity softly.
"What's going on?"
Jiraiya had his arms crossed over his chest, glaring at the three women. Yoruichi, seeing neither of the two moving to answer, does so.
"The Earth's occupants where the White Devil once inhabited are all dead,"
"White Devil?" Questions Usagi startled.
"Dead," Whispers Takato, a bit pale.
"How," Demands Jiraiya.
Serenity taps the table and a light shoots from the small panel in the center of the table, forming into a screen, showing a city. All the people were on the ground dead, women, children, babies, and even the animals, all of them were dead. A boy is seen walking through the city. His long blonde hair blows in the wind, his cold, and uncaring gold eyes doesn't pass any of the dead bodies a glance. The boy smirks, and laughs, his cold laughter sending shivers through the planet's soul and the watching group.
"This universe...has completely fallen to Chaos, everyone in this universe is tainted, and those who aren't...I pray for their souls," Whispers Yoruichi.
XxXxXxXxXx
- The Nanoha Universe -
"What's wrong with all of you?"
Subaru Nakajima (16) was bleeding from head to toe. Her left arm hung limply at her side, it terribly burnt. Tears pour down her cheeks, she trying to stop the pain, but it wouldn't, and she cries.
"Phantom Blazer!"
"Luftmesser!"
"IS: Breakliner!"
"IS: Rumble Detonator!"
"IS: Aerial Rave!"
"IS: Heavy Barrel!"
"Revolver...Shoot!"
Subaru's eyes shine in fear, not believing this was happening. Skating faster, she grits her teeth seeing the end of the bridge she was racing on. With Mach Caliber damaged attacks from her friends and family, Subaru had no way in using Wing Road.
Her pursuers close in on her, and Subaru grits her teeth wondering what to do. Fight or not to fight. To fight meant potentially hurting them....possibly killing them, which meant staying alive. The other...well...it meant dying.
'I don't know, what to do,'
A voice suddenly rings through Subaru's mind, a voice that was so familiar, yet not.
"Jump,"
Subaru not knowing why shifts closer to the edge. The voice, she oddly trusted it, like the voice wouldn't betray her.
'I'm crazy, but if this is the only way,'
Subaru was now standing on the ledge glaring at her friends and family. Smiling sadly at them, Subaru steps off the ledge surprising them. Falling fast, Subaru closes her eyes, feeling gravity pulling her towards the ground at an alarming rate. Now that she was no longer fighting, Subaru's wounds were affecting her consciousness.
"I wonder," Whispers Subaru lowly, her body twisting, so it was now falling back first towards the quickly approaching ground. "If this was how...I was meant to die?"
A voice, one different from earlier, rings through Subaru's ears.
"You fool one such as you shouldn't say such depressing things,"
A white portal forms below Subaru, it crackling with energy. Subaru now unconscious falls through, and lands on a patch of grass softly, where two girls were waiting.
- The Sanctuary -
"What a mess,"
One was a blonde wearing purple, with a purple digivice called a D-Tector attached to her waist by a black strap, she stares down at Subaru sadly.
"I'll heal her up; you try to contact Akira-nee and Ayaka-nee again,"
The other was a girl wearing all white with a monocle covering her right eye; she grips the card gun in her hand tightly, whispering a curse under her breath at the condition of Subaru.
"Once I finish with her, I have to search for my fragment, and then we can be with her again,"
The blonde nods and walks off, trying to reach Akira through her D-Tector once more.
"Where did you go Akira, Ayaka?"
XxXxXxXxXx
- The One Piece Universe -
- The Life Universe -
"Casino Island, this...must be fate,"
Nami (18) rubs her greedy hands together, money signs in her eyes.
"We can use this chance to wind down after that trouble we went through recently, and catch up," Laughs Usopp (17).
"It took awhile, but we're all back together again," States Zoro (19) he staring at a passing bar.
"I didn't know how long I could have gone without seeing Nami-swan and Robin-chawn again," Sanji (19) stares at the two women of his desires, hearts replacing his eyes.
"I'm glad everyone is finally together again," Smiles Chopper (15) happily.
Robin (28) pats Chopper's head gently.
"I am too Doctor-san,"
Robin casts a glance at the silent Luffy (17). The boy's straw hat was shadowing his eyes, he glaring at something in the distance.
"Captain-san, is everything alright?"
Robin's question draws Luffy's attention, and he smiles, the shadow vanishing from his face.
"I'm fine Robin, I'm just hungry, I'll head on ahead, you guys go have fun too,"
Luffy runs off, not giving his crew any chance to question him about his strange behavior.
"Luffy's been acting pretty strange recently," Comments Franky (34). "I've notice that as well, but considering what's happen to him over the past few weeks, there's no surprise he's acting that way," Explains Nami soberly, thinking of the events of the war.
"Yoho, Luffy will be Luffy soon, we'll just have to wait patiently and help him through his problems," Said Brook (88).
Nami agrees, and suddenly stops, her eyes shining.
"Well, Luffy did say have fun," Nami's eyes fall on the biggest and richest casino on the island, Heaven's Sanctuary. "I'll be in here, come Sanji-kun," Nami runs into the casino with the ever loving Sanji chasing after her.
"Well, since its Captain-san's orders...I'll be over here," Robin makes her way to the Royal Robin, earning strange stares from her crew mates.
"I'm going to the bar we passed up a little while ago,"
Zoro walks off, leaving Chopper with Franky, Usopp, and Brook.
"What're we suppose to do?" Asks Chopper quietly.
Usopp makes a face, trying to remember something. Suddenly snapping his fingers, Usopp grins.
"How about we hit that nice shop we saw back there, it had a lot of stuff I can use to upgrade my arsenal,"
Franky agrees, remembering the shop.
"I can use some new tools as well; I have a new weapon in mind,"
Brook grins watching a few ladies walk into a bar.
"Yohohoho, I think I'll go to this bar...wait for me ladies,"
Chopper laughs and chases after Franky and Usopp, wanting to stick close with them.
"How carefree,"
Shana the Second Princess of Mars glares at the departing backs of the straw hats, and turns her attention to the Heaven's Sanctuary casino. Chuckling, the girl makes her way there to watch her target.
'Mai, if you don't show up soon...I'll take your kill,'
XxXxXxXxXx
"Naruto, Usagi, I have a few old friends who's been waiting to meet you,"
Two cats are seen behind Selenity's legs. One cat was red with piercing green eyes, the crescent moon symbol on its forehead. The other was a black cat with soft, carefree gold eyes, with the moon symbol also on her forehead with prayer beads wrapped around her tail.
"You're...Nao," Said Usagi.
"Mikoto," Said Naruto grinning.
The red cat, Nao grins and leaps onto Usagi's shoulder.
"Surprise you remember me,"
"Naruto-chan,"
Mikoto leaps on Naruto's head, digging her claws in his hand, earning a loud, painful shout from the boy.
"Don't do that,"
Naruto runs around, trying to remove the laughing Mikoto from his head. Takato watches on, his lips twitching, he trying his best not to laugh at Naruto, but it was becoming harder as Naruto's painful screams became louder, and his running became faster.
Serenity hates to ruin the reunion, but the Guardians had business to attend to.
"Naruto, Usagi, Takato, Raven...Tatsuki,"
Tatsuki pushes off the wall and walks over, her hair shadowing her eyes.
"Yoruichi, Mikoto, Nao, it's time for your departure for the Life Universe. Nao, Mikoto, take care of your charges and train them well, prepare them for their future tasks", The Moon Queen glances at Yoruichi.
"No need to tell me anything Selenity, I already know what's needed of me,"
Yoruichi throws her arm around Tatsuki's neck, the girl was silent, her hair still shadowing her eyes, hiding her glaring eyes. Yoruichi squeezes Tatsuki's shoulder tightly, hurting the girl slightly.
"Calm down Tatsuki," Whispers Yoruichi harshly. "Don't dwell on past defeats, if you have time to do such a useless thing, then grow stronger,"
Tatsuki said nothing, and shrugs Yoruichi's arm off her shoulder. Walking to the door, Tatsuki glances at the others, revealing her soft brown eyes, anticipation shining in them.
"Aren't you guys coming?"
Naruto smirks and adjusts his hitai-ate in his own excitement. Turning to Jiraiya, he gives the man a large smirk.
"Alright Pervy Sage, we're off,"
Naruto runs off after the departing Tatsuki. Takato and Raven silently follows with Jiraiya close behind, Usagi went next, but Selenity stops her.
"Usagi-chan, as of now, Nao is your guardian and if possible, a future candidate as your advisor as Luna was to me so long ago," Explains Selenity calmly, she rubbing Nao's head gently, ignoring the murderous glare of the cat. "I am very upset over Luna's betrayal and will handle her in time. She was originally my advisor, and pushing her on you was unfair, towards her, you, and you Nao," Nao snarls a bit, but remains silent.
Selenity waves her hand at something, and Usagi turns to see her gesturing at a wall.
"What are you?"
Usagi falls silent watching the air around the wall bend. A hand appears through the bending space, followed by a staff, a very familiar time staff.
"No way...Pluto,"
Sailor Pluto full emerges from the space, and she instantly kneels.
"Queen Selenity, Princess,"
Selenity smiles softly at her ever faithful servant.
"You may rise Pluto,"
Pluto does so, and stares at the two.
"Pluto why are you here?"
"I came to give you a warning Princess. My apprentice will be arriving to give you a new brooch to help control your powers,"
"Control my powers? My powers aren't,"
"I know," Exclaims Pluto calmly, cutting off Usagi. "However, in time your power will grow tremendously from your status as the Moon Princess, the Purity Guardian, Sailor Moon, and the fact that the Silver Crystal is now being influenced by the Purity Ring. It's not much, but there are noticeable alterations to your body because of this,"
Usagi closes her right eye, knowing what Pluto was speaking of.
"I see, thank you," Usagi smiles gratefully at Pluto. "Is there any way for me to identify your apprentice?"
Pluto nods and nods at her staff.
"There are two of them, but the apprentice you'll meet will carry a staff similar to my own, except she'll have a blade attached to it, a mix between a guan dao and my time staff,"
"You have two apprentices?"
Pluto shakes her head at Usagi's lack of attention.
"I do Princess, one from this time, the other from the future, but that's unimportant, just watch out when you meet her, she'll resemble someone you may or may not remember, so please, don't try to kill her, she has a terrible temper,"
Usagi gives Pluto a mock salute.
"Yes Pluto, I'll await this apprentice of yours, for now I bid you farewell old friend, the others are waiting," Said Usagi in a soldier-like fashion.
Pluto chuckles and watching Usagi run off. Turning to the silent observing woman sitting on the table, legs crossed, Pluto narrows her eyes coldly.
"Kyuubi, looking well I see," The woman waves off Pluto's words and removes herself from the table.
"As much as I'll love to exchange words Pluto, I must leave, there are a few friends I must beat some sense into,"
Kyuubi leaves to gather her old friends for the war coming in the near future.
XxXxXxXxXx
"Damn, I lost again,"
Nami was having a bad gambling day.
"I never have bad gambling days,"
Nami was having a terrible gambling day. Not one, she had not won, not one hand at poker, a game of craps, blackjack, or even at the slots. All of her money was gone, all within two hours.
"Yahoo, I won again,"
To make matters worse, there was a blonde idiot winning every time he played slots, poker, blackjack, craps, roulette...everything. The kid was literally her opposite in gambling today and it irritated her greatly, because she was usually unstoppable at anything concerning money and gambling.
"Mikoto-chan, this is great, we're going to have enough money for food to last us for a month at this rate,"
"Yeah, food, hmm,"
Nami laughs a bit, a large sweat drop forming.
'With how much money he won, he should have enough money to last five years. How much food do these guys eat? Hmm, I think Luffy would get along with them,'
Nami's eyes fall on the bucket of beli at Naruto's feet, and she grins devilishly. Sanji seeing the smile, knew his Nami-swan had something up her sleeve, and with it concerning money, he knew it wasn't going to be anything good.
"Hey kid,"
The blonde idiot, Naruto glares at Nami, annoyed that she was stopping his winning spree.
"Huh, what is it?" He asks rudely.
Nami ignores this and batters her eyes, and smiles the smile that would make Sanji go crazy. To her irritation, Naruto didn't bat an eye, and only stares at her annoyed.
"Are you feeling alright, you have this glossy look in your eyes? You're not sick are you, because I don't want to catch another cold?" Naruto backs away slowly, making sure not to forget his bucket of money.
Sick, did Nami really look sick? Nami glances at Sanji to make sure. Like she thought, he had hearts in his eyes, and was doing his silly dance. Her sex appeal was there, that much was there. Glaring at Naruto, she knew he was the problem.
'Is it because he's young?'
No, Nami knew Naruto's type just from staring in his eyes. The boy probably had someone he deeply cared about, someone he only had eyes for, someone who didn't return his feelings, but he chased her, hoping one day they would be together. The boy probably had admirers who liked him, but he was too focused on the other girl to notice his admirers.
'He'll live a lonely life that way,'
Shaking her head, Nami holds up a deck of cards.
"Let's play poker,"
Naruto grins, never one to back down from a challenge.
"You're on,"
At that moment however, a stream of fire shoots through the casino, traveling between Naruto and Nami. Sanji grabs Nami and pulls her back, while Mikoto did the same to Naruto.
"I missed,"
A growl escapes Mikoto's throat, recognizing the voice of her best friend's sister, recognizing the immense killing intent, and recognizes the foul tainted aura radiating from that person.
"Shana-sama,"
Shana swings her sword, flames shooting from the blade once more, they shooting for the stun Nami and Sanji. Mikoto rushes over and stands protectively over the two. Mikoto stabs her staff in the ground, a barrier forms around she, Nami, and Sanji. The flames hit the barrier and engulf it. Pieces of the barrier chips off similar to glass, stunning Mikoto.
'Impossible,'
The barrier shakes under the force of the flames, and Mikoto is pushed back. Shana laughs, not believing the power she controlled. The power of Mikoto the Cat Goddess was legendary, and for her to be able to push her back was something she didn't expect, not in a million years.
"Take this,"
A wing made of flames bursts from Shana's back, and slaps Naruto, who was charging her from the side, sending him out the casino screaming.
"Fool," Mutters Shana, a twitch in her eye.
Takato rushes in the casino having seen Naruto fly out. Skidding to a stop, he stares at Shana, eyes wide.
"Shana,"
The girl glances at Takato and smirks cruelly.
"Takato-kun...what a surprise,"
Shana releases her attack on Mikoto, and faces Takato, her red eyes burning through his.
"Shana-neesama...why?" Takato knew the answer, but he had to ask. "Why are you doing this?" Two swords appear at Takato's waist in bursts of flames. "Why do you attack us? Why did you fall to Chaos's power?" His whispers slowly gain volume. "Since when in the world have you been so weak to fall to someone else's will?" Takato snarls, flames bursting from his blades.
Shana looked more than a little annoyed. A vein pulsates, and she aims her blade at the glaring boy, and smirks.
"So that Mars Pride has finally manifested, I don't know if I should be proud or sad," The shadows beneath Shana's eyes lightens slightly, but as quickly as it did, they became darker, and the flames swirling around her blade turns a shade darker. "Prepare for battle Takato," A force likes no other exits Shana's body, sending Takato back slightly. Power, raw power sent Takato back, and he was shocked.
'Okay...I think...I'm in trouble here,'
Shana charges Takato, quickly entering his guard, and swings her blade to chop his head off. A few hairs gone, Takato manages to dodge the attack, and for his effort, he receives a shoe to the face sending him out the hole Naruto made earlier. Hitting the wooden ground hard, Takato rolls across the ground, and slides into a barrel of alcohol, the contents spilling all over him, and he nearly vomits at the strong intoxicating smell. Recognizing the smell, Takato pales and he slowly looks up seeing the cruelly smiling Shana she slowly approaching him.
'Oh no,'
The flames surrounding Shana's blade burns stronger and she swings a wide arc at Takato, releasing a flaming bird from the blade, it flying towards him. The world slows. Takato's heart beats loudly, he feeling the cold hand of death gripping his soul.
"36 Caliber Phoenix!"
A fierce wind blows by Takato's head, striking the flaming bird, destroying it. Shana snarls and glares at the swordsmen, he glaring at her, his hand resting on his swords.
"You're strong, I felt your killing intent from the bar...how about taking me on and leave this kid alone,"
Shana raises an eyebrow, very interested, and yet, very irritated that Zoro stopped her from killing Takato.
"Alright, I can use this chance to up one on that bitch Lust and bring Lord Chaos a powerful warrior to his side,"
Zoro grunts and draws his other two swords.
"I don't know who this Chaos is, but if you want me, you'll have to kill me because I'm not going anywhere,"
Shana's hair flickers red, and her eyes become red once more.
"We can arrange that,"
Takato however wasn't having this, and he rises.
"No, you're my opponent,"
Another voice suddenly cuts in, one that sent a cold chill through Takato's spine.
"If you want an opponent Taka-chan, then I'll be it,"
Takato sweats nervously, the fast beating of his heart suddenly returning with a vengeance. A dark overwhelming pressure crushes down on Casino Island. Flames circle the island, stopping anyone from escaping and anyone from entering. Floating in the air, glaring down at her little brother was none other than Mars First Princess, the Tragic Meister, and the Strongest of Queen Nami's children, Mai Tokiha.
Dressed in her otome robe, Mai chuckles softly, a visible black collar around her neck, and she speaks, her cold, hollow voice sending shivers through the shaking Takato, he not being able to withstand Mai's overwhelming power.
"Hello little brother, are you ready to die?'
Damn, this chapter took quite a while to get out, but it came, and it went. I did say I would make the chapters shorter, so why are they steadily getting longer? Oh well, at least this one is shorter than some of the others. Alright, for those of you who are confused on what's happening with all the crossovers hitting the story, there is a strange kinda glossary in my profile explaining what anime or cartoons enter the chapter and what characters enters as well, so if you're lost there it is.
