A/N: This chapter is a lot of repetition, but I hope the emotion of it and the lampshading will make it work. Anyways enjoy!
Chapter 18: We're Here For You
Mirajane hung up the phone and sighed. Diana had finished her calls as well.
"Sorry I could only call one person." Said Mirajane.
"It is all right." Said Diana, "there were not many people you could trust."
"But you called more." said Mirajane.
"That's because I had more people I could trust with this…" said Diana, "Though I don't comet ply trust them with this…"
"Why?" asked Mirajane.
There were crashes outside.
"What are you doing here?" asked Akane.
"Give us the figure skater and nobody gets hurt!" yelled a rather familiar voice.
Mirajane looked at Diana who just face palmed.
"I did at least draw the line at Cologne's enemy." Sighed Diana.
Thorough out the town everyone was freaking out trying to get away from the giant flower, which really wasn't possible. After all, everyone was trapped.
As the group headed towards it Kyubi sighed.
"What's wrong?" asked Naruto.
"What is it with our story crossing over with other stories and fighting giant crystal plants." Said the Kyubi.
"What?" thought Naruto.
"Trust me… if you knew about early stories involing us, you'd remember there was a weird AU involing us, your half brother and what used to be the most popular story…" said Kyubi.
Naruto sweat dropped.
"Seriously… I won't say the name, but I'm sure people if their interested might be able to find it they know where to look… it's really weird. It was written before Hinata joined…" said Kyubi.
"As usual I don't know what you're talking about." Said Naruto.
"And thank goodness for that." Responded Kyubi.
Naruto rolled his eyes.
That was when the crystal vines began to grow all around them. There were a lot of them.
"We're completely surrounded." Said Dipper.
They all got ready as Luffy voice the obvious.
"Looks like we have to fight our out." Said Luffy.
Before any of them could start fighting sweeping music began to play.
They all looked around and suddenly Ichigo Kurosaki and Homura Akemi showed up to fight the monsters.
Well sort of… the two were dressed like them with "Homura" being her old glasses and pigtails look. She reach into her shield and took out a three piece staff and began to fight the monsters, while of course "Ichigo" just used his sword to fight them.
"Okay… what's going on!" said Luffy.
"This is weird…" said Natsu with a sweat drop.
However some of them recognized them.
"Shou… Emi?" asked Ranma with a sweat drop.
"What are you doing here?" asked Ran.
"Luna called us." Said Shou.
"She said she realized it was mistake to send all of you like this… that you would need more backup." Said Emi.
"And we're not the only ones… there's others as well… including as least person from Gravity Falls." Said Shou.
"Don't be surprised! This isn't the first time we're backing you up." Said Emi.
"Leave these thing to us… go beat however you're going to beat that thing." Said Shou.
"But there's so many of them." Said Ran.
"That's all right." Said Emi adjusting her glasses, "I have a brilliant plan to take care of them."
"What you didn't tell me." Said Shou who ran over to her.
"It's quite simple." Said Emi.
She put her hand on her shoulders and sighed.
"Bat Credit Card." She said.
"A BAT CREDIT CARD!" he yelled.
She turned him around and had had him attack the monsters.
This made the group all sweat drop.
"He'll be like that for a while." Said Emi.
"Wait I have a couple questions." Said Dipper.
"Martial Arts Cosplay." Said Emi, "We're both experts."
"Uh-huh…" said Dipper's only response.
"What about the music?" asked Ranma.
"Two things… I've been hanging out way too much with Pinkie Pie." Said Emi.
"Sounds legit." Said Kyubi making Naruto sweat drop.
"And the song… it's called "We're Here For You", it's from the Rebellion Story Soundtrack… pretty fitting for such back up." Said Emi, "Either way go on and save the day. Me and the NC's biggest Japanese fan got it."
"A BAT CREDIT CARD!" yelled Shou again thankfully making a path.
"All right." Said Hikaru taking charge.
They all left leaving the two cosplayers to continue fighting.
They continue on their way that was when once again they were surrounded.
"Looks like they're going to try to stop us this way again." Said Ranma.
"Something tells me this is going to be a partner." Sighed Sasuke.
Before they could fight, magic blasts hit them. They came from the glowing hands of Aoi and his daughter (and Seito and Tsukiko's mother) Ayame.
"Thank you!" said Hikaru.
Aoi shot a beam at that monster making a path.
"GO on we'll handle them here." Said Aoi.
The group left leaving the tow magic users to continue fight.
The group continued to run as they did they saw that flower was strangely starting to glow.
"Okay that doesn't look good." Said Mabel.
As if knowing she said more of the vines appeared and they were once again surrounded by monsters.
But before they could fight they heard a roar and the Multi-Bear showed up.
"Multi-Bear." Said Dipper.
"I saw what was going on and I figured that I should help." He explained.
"Thanks man." Said Dipper.
"Oh my god you're so cool." Said Luffy with his eyes sparkling.
"Is he all right?" asked Multi-bear.
"Luffy! No you can't get him to join our crew!" yelled Zoro.
"Just no!" yelled Sasuke.
"But he's kind of cool." Said Naruto.
"Don't encourage him!" yelled Sasuke and Zoro.
Ran sighed and made a path with her lighting.
"This way!" yelled Ran.
They continued to run.
Of course soon enough they were surrounded again.
"Seriously!" yelled Naruto.
"Yeah… this is getting old." Said Ran.
Before they could do anything suddenly Manly Dan showed up and started beating the monsters.
"Go! I'll handle these things!" yelled Manly Dan.
"Thank you Dan." Said Erza with a nod.
They left as a strange small man showed up shouting "Get 'im! Get im'!"
"Who was that?" asked Zoro.
"Wendy's dad." Said Dipper.
"Which Wendy?" asked Luffy.
Almost everyone looked at Luffy wondering how he couldn't put two and two together involing the burly red haired lumberjack.
They were once again surrounded.
"Okay seriously! This is getting really old!" yelled Ran.
That was when they heard a snap and one by one the monsters were smashed by various random things such as anvils or flowerpots.
Hikaru, Ran, Ranma and Ryoga all looked angry and looked around.
"Up here." Said a voice.
They looked up and saw Discord with a Bill puppet floating above him.
"I see you took our advice." Said the puppet who was possessed by Bill.
"It's just like what happened with Queen Cosmos." Pointed out Discord, "It's time to put aside our differences and stop the bigger threat."
"He has a point." Muttered Hikaru.
"Fine…" muttered Dipper glaring at the Bill Controlled puppet.
They headed off.
"So what was with the puppet?" asked Luffy.
"I don't want to talk about it." Muttered Dipper.
Luffy looked at Naruto and Sasuke shrugged. Zoro was thinking about how he met the two.
They were once again gotten surrounded but this time the vines were much thicker, the blower were much bigger which created bigger monsters.
"Looks like they figured out what we were doing." Said Ran.
"Yeah." Said Zoro.
That was when a horrible laugh filled the air followed by a blizzard of black rose petals. Ranma shuddered.
"Oh no." he said.
Kodachi showed up dressed in a leotard and used a ribbon to attack the monsters.
Suddenly a soccer ball started to hit the monsters it returned to Miki wearing a soccer uniform who bounced it on her head then kicked it hard like a bomb.
A large monster was about to attack Ran but an orange blur stopped it. It was Ryoko to punched it while wearing a tank top and shorts.
That was when, Azusa jumped in on roller skates and kicked one of the monsters away.
"Azusa!" said Hikaru, "You should be in bed!"
"Azusa is fine!" said Azusa.
That was when several magical bolts were fired destroy the monster of course they came from Tsukiko.
"I used a pain killing spell on her. She doesn't feel anything." Said Tsukiko.
"See Azusa is fine." Said Azusa.
"But you should take it somewhat easy." Said Tsukiko, "When everything is done with you're going to be in a lot of pain."
"Go save the day!" said Ryoko, "We got a handle of things here."
"Oh Ranma I'm sure you can handle it." Said Kodachi.
"Yeah." Said Ranma.
They all left to let the rival brigade fight off the monsters.
They were getting close to the flower.
That was when a monster popped out the ground causing everyone to lunched the air. However the monster managed to grab Hikaru when she was in the air.
"Twilight!" said Erza.
However that was when Seito showed up auctioning what looked to be a light saber cutting the monster's arm off.
"Thanks." Said Hikaru.
"No problem." Said Seito blushing.
"Though I could have freed myself." Said Hikaru.
This made Seito sweat drop.
"Look I'll handle it from here." Said Seito as more smothers popped out of the ground.
"Okay." Said Hikaru.
As they were leaving.
"Wait… something's been bothering me." Said Naruto.
"What?" asked Hikaru.
"How does Seito and his family know magic?" asked Naruto.
"Their family is descended from a unicorn." She explained, "One that fell into a version of Spring of Drowned Man."
"Oh…" said everyone who weren't from Furinkan,
They continued on their way, they were very close to the flower. Close enough to lunch their attack, but of course they were surrounded.
"You know I think this is our cue." Said Zoro.
"You mean for us to do our part as body guards?" asked Sasuke.
"All right." Said Ran.
Mabel looked a little nervous and Natsu noticed this.
"Now my chance." He thought.
He turned around and tried to punch Erza in the chest.
The key word is try… after all she was wearing armor.
Even the monsters could feel the tension in the air when this happened and slowly backed away.
"Natsu…" said Erza dangerously, "What are you doing."
"Crap…" said Natsu.
Everyone else remained silent decided that it would be best for them to talk it out.
"Erza… I failed last time, but this time I will protect you." Said Natsu.
"What's that supposed mean?" asked Erza.
"You're going to be in the heart of a tornado!" said Natsu, "So many things could go wrong."
Erza was about to say something.
Dipper and Mabel both looked at her.
"I failed once before but I'm not going to fail again." Said Natsu.
"Fine, but on condition. One of you have to make sure Dipper gets out of there." Said Erza.
"Okay." Said Naruto.
"Don't worry." Said Hikaru, "I have an idea."
Erza nodded.
"Okay… now that's now of the way." Said Zoro.
He used the 108 Pound Cannon to get rid of the monsters.
Luffy, Naruto, Hikaru, Ranma, Dipper and Natsu all ran passed the monsters ready for their attack, all of them hoping that they would succeed. Because they were the only hope for both worlds.
Next Time: It's time... it's time to stop the thing. Will the plan work? Is Luffy enough? Will the tornado go out of control? What will happen? Find out next time!
