Chapter 41 – Fright Night

Chaos once again filled the streets of downtown Shibuya as monsters straight out of the darkest of nightmares rampage through the city. A red jeep race through the streets as it darted around the cars that littered the road abandon as the monsters had ripped their drivers out of their seats. The jeep held seven passages while two bat-winged women flew over head of the car. The driver turns the jeep down into a side street going through tight alleyways till they reach the river.

"Okay now just go down to the riverside and drive north along it until we reach a drain pipe," Ion said to the redhead driving the jeep.

"Okay," the redhead said as he hit the gas driving along the riverside.

"So who are you people anyways?" Ion asks as those two bat-like women landed on the speeding jeep.

"The driver is Youko Kurama also known as Minamino Shuuichi a five-tailed fox demon and the person next to him is Yusuke Urameshi a half demon both of which are S-class demons. The one next to you is Kazuma Kuwabara a powerful spirit energy user. The woman is Botan the reaper around this area. The two bat-like women are Morrigan and her younger sister Lilith who are Succubus's," Jinks explain to Ion.

"How did you know who we are?" Morrigan asks looking at the small robot.

"I'm the creation of Mind and been program with the information from her sister Top's database," Jinks explain.

"Oh so mistress downloaded you with all the info she has on us then," Lilith said.

"Yes and almost all of the fighting skills that she knows of as well," the doll like robot said.

"So you guys came to help with the monsters?" Ion asks as she gave Metalgear a bottle of healing juice who's laying in the back with her.

"Yeah we gotten reports of strange activity around here and about a week ago someone summon spirits from the Spirit World back to the Human World so my boss asks us to go look into the matter," Botan said, "But I never imagine that someone would create those monsters using those spirits."

"Yeah the moment we started destroying them those dog monsters came out of no where and we had to run from them," Kuwabara said.

"Yeah there were just too many of them and they would have dog piled us if we didn't get away in time," Yusuke said, "I mean, I could have blasted them but I would have ended up destroying a good portion of the city if I did."

"What a little damage is expected in something like this," Lilith said.

"Yes that's true but we can't let people know what we can do," Kurama said keeping his eyes on the road. He spied something shiny along the riverbank and stops the jeep to get a better look.

"It's Junkyard," Ion shouted as she got a good look at the armored figure laying on the riverbank. Junkyard was looking more like his name shake this time as his armor was even more wreaked and ragged then the last time she had seen him.

Net Hat suddenly pops up coming from the hologram projection camera in Metalgear's helmet. "He's badly injured better take him with us," the AI said as she had done a scan on him seeing the damage done to him, "Look's like he fought his way out of an ambush."

"What the?" Kuwabara said as he stared the SD image of that girl Mind Hat.

"You never seen a advance computer AI before?" Net asks out loud.

"Something you gotten from Mind right?" Botan asks Ion who nodded. Yusuke went out and carried Junkyard to the jeep, then unloaded him in the back between Morrigan and Lilith.

"Hey, I'm not a thing I'm Net Hat the most advance computer ever made!" Net shouted enlarging her head in demon-head mode at Botan making her cowered in fear.

"So how far is it to your base?" Kurama asks.

"About half a mile more," Ion said, "So step on it." The redhead nodded and took off down the riverside. Above them dusk was already falling upon the city.

In the US inside of the manor of Dr. Jones –

"So what's the low down on the monsters attacking Shibuya?" Yomiko asks Nenene working the computer consol in Minds lab.

"Well from what I gather from what people have been posting on the net there are eight different kinds of monsters running loose in downtown Shibuya," Nenene said as she type on the keyboard making pictures of ghoulish looking people holding mining equipment appearing on the computer screen, "Burrowers – that's what they been name and for good reason. These guys are responsible for the other monsters appearing everywhere at once. They have dug tunnels into buildings and made it impossible to travel in the sewers as they have been reported to use their digging tools on anyone that they see. They seem to dislike sunlight but aren't afraid to walk around in it to chase after someone. From the police reports they can be dealt with using small arms firer but they seem to be able to survive being shot at pointblank range before dying."

Next came the picture of a monster that's wrapped in heavy bondage, with four rifle spider like arms coming out of its back. "Trigger-Happy – as its name suggest this monster while blind-folded is an excellent marksmen and with its rapid firing rifles can quickly overwhelm any attacker. These guys are slow moving but with that kind of firepower they have they don't have to be. They seem to locate people by sound and their firing range is about a mile. What ever happens do not let them draw a bead on you are they'll fill you up with lead before you know what hit you. The police have all been pin down or have been force to retreat each time they meet with a group of these monsters as they don't need to reload their weapons. The cops barely got a shot or two before they were force to run."

Then came a picture of a monster that's looks kind of like a burnt up giant gorilla with a pipe sticking out of one of its shoulders, "Inflamer – these monsters are living flamethrowers and are very strong. They're fewer in number than the other monsters but they do a whole lot more damage then the other monsters as well. Several blocks and buildings are on fire thanks to these guys running around. Fire doesn't hurt them at all and like that enforcer of Neclord's Afterburn their bodies can burn anything that comes in contract with them. The police have tried shooting them but these monsters prove to be able to withstand small arms firer very easily. They're also very fast for their sizes and can climb on walls, they're also very strong as some are reported to have been throwing cars around."

Up came a picture of a humanoid with its head cut off being held in place with a metal harness, both its arms been replace with steel blades. "The Beheader – these monsters are very fast and thanks to their arm blades can climb on almost any kind of surface. They can pop up from almost any sizes hole or crack like rats as they have quickly overwhelm any arm forces that have tried to set up a base of operations in the downtown area. They can be dealt with small arms firer but because of their speed they can avoid being shot at easily. People have been reported wasting dozens of rounds just trying to hit just one of them. And even if their heads are blown off their bodies can still move on their own like how chickens can sometimes live with their heads off." (1)

Zombie looking monsters suddenly appeared on the screen. "Ravenous – these zombie like monsters are just like their counterparts eating anybody they get a hold of. Unlike the slow moving zombies they move more like live humans then undead like in that remake of 'Dawn of the Dead' or '28th Days Later'. They're not that strong more then an average person but they attack like wild animals and they travel in groups. Killing them is easy enough but since there are so many of them its better just to run when face with a large group of them. Also while they do look like zombies their bites don't turn people that they bite into one of them."

Then came pictures of flesh colored looking mannequins monsters with long dark hair covering their faces. "Infecters – these monsters are just like their names as they infect anyone that has come in contract with them with a super infection. The liquid that drips off of their bodies release gas that poisons anyone that breathes it the effects are random from choking to death to people throwing up their insides out of their bodies. And touching them is out of the question as they're poisons even to hit with your body. But like water balloons like how they move they can be easily killed as any hole will leek the liquid inside of them out. But the liquid is also poison, releasing a cloud of gas out when they die so keep as far from them as you can."

Then came the image of something that looks human but suffers from a case of extreme frostbite. "Frost-skates – these monsters are the fastest of all of the monsters and are found near any body of water. They spring out from even a small mud puddle, they seem to be able to teleport in and out of water at will making them extremely dangers as this ability allows them to appear anywhere. When they touch someone they become inflicted with frostbite and in some cases they totally freeze over and shatter like glass. The way they move is that their feet create sheets of ice underneath their feet and move like skaters. Shooting at them is all but impossible but for the best marksmen when they are at their full skating speed. But since they're so close to ice they are very vulnerable to heat and once they have been trip off their feet they can be easily taken out as their bodies aren't that strong or can take much damage."

Finally came pictures of dog like creatures. "Legions – these monsters travel in vast hordes, from the reports that are coming in they number in the hundreds. They're the main reason why the arm forcers of Japan can't retake downtown Shibuya as they quickly overwhelm any forces trying to retake any of the cities blocks under their control. Shooting at them is pointless unless a group is armed with machine guns as that's the only way to keep them at bay. They can't climb up walls but they can leap from any handhold that they can find. When you see one of them then the rest aren't that far behind it so it's better to run for high ground. They seem to get around through the sewer tunnels so on any open streets they can suddenly come out pouring from the sewers so be careful."

"So how are we supposed to fight against an army like that?" Anita asks.

"We have dealt with superpower beings but this is something that's out of our level," Yomiko said.

"Better just call Dark Hat to clean up," Nancy said.

"Yes I thought of that but when I sent an e-mail to Top she e-mailed me back saying Dark's away dealing with something right now and won't be back for a while," Nenene answered them.

"So how are we supposed to stop them then they have the power and the numbers to hold that part of the city for a long time?" Michelle the tallest of the paper sisters said.

"Also how are we going to get to Shibuya from all the way from here?" Maggie asks.

"Well there's the teleportation gateway that Mind came up with the last time she was here," Junior said, as the last time she was here three weeks ago she had shown him and Anita her new invention.

"Somebody talking about Mind?" Net Hat yelped out appearing on the computer screen.

"Net what's up?" Nenene asks the computer AI as she had met her already when Mind was downloading her with some upgrades, "I thought your helping those superheroes Ion and Metalgear out."

"Yes that's what I came here for," Net said as pictures of a figure in a brown cloak and wrap in chains appeared on screen, "This figure showed up when Ion and Metalgear were trying to stop the monsters when they first appear. He calls himself Torment and seems to be one of the head guys in charge in the attacks going on around here. Torment has proven to be extremely fast, strong and his fighting skills from what my scans on him I took during the fight with Ion and Metalgear it puts him on a level that ranks with the strongest fighters in the world. Also it looks like Jack-O who Ion fought during the raid on Neclords tower is still alive. He's the one that release all of these monsters using a magic spell to summon spirits from the Spirit World. He's also much more powerful then the last time he and Ion met as he can control plants and throw pumpkin bombs now."

"So how are we going to fight against that?" Anita asks.

"Simple really Mind thought something like this would happen so she upgraded those costumes that you guys wore when those get backers came over here for those files," Net said as she actives a switch in the lab. Causing a metal wall to open up revealing the costumes that they had wore and three more costumes as well.

"What the?" Nancy said as she stares at the three new costumes two are for women while the other one is for a guy about her son's sizes. Two of them look kind of alike as they have skull like helmets and designs on them. Both are black bodysuits incase with bone like armor wrap around them. And the last outfit is a flowing dress like outfit like one that a priest would wear colored purple. A helmet like a VR helmet stood out of place on the mage like robe it's attach to.

"Let me guess the last costume is for me right?" Nenene asks Net who nodded back, "Why I'm no fighter?"

"Yes but that's easily handle," Net said as a strange looking staff suddenly thrust up beside the mages outfit. The staff was metal but has a multicolored gleam to it that change color with the light. A large colorless crystal sat on top of it, about the sizes of a fist, "This staff is magical it's an elemental staff that lets its user to command lightning, water, fire, wind, and earth. It also lets you use healing magic and defending magic as well."

"Wait so I'm the magical back up then?" Nenene said looking over the outfit.

"Yeah besides you did well commanding those duel monsters that Top Hat leaned to you," Net said.

"Yeah but after their job was done with they tried to get me to join their party and from what I read from them they wanted me to be the guest of honor," Nenene said as after Dark Hat had left the girls had all but rip her clothes off asking her to join them for some 'fun', "I was lucky to get out of there in one piece I mean those women acted more like guys then women."

"You can say that again," Nancy said as more then a few of them had hit on her before they went back to Top Hat.

"So why are we going to dress up for this then?" Junior asks looking over his costume and at the weapon that came with it which is a gun, picking it up he looks it over, "A Ruger MP9 Submachine Gun that uses 9x19mm Parabellum rounds equipped with a stock to allow better aim and less recoil when firing a steady burst. But this MP9 can be loaded with armor piercing rounds instead of the standard rounds it normally uses. The hand grip is design to allow the person firing it to be able to firer without fracturing their hand from the heavy recoil from firing the gun."

"Well you know your weapons," Net said then turns to Nancy who is looking over her own gun, "That gun is the M66-SD MP Silenced Submachine Gun. This Silenced Submachine Gun is equipped with a scope, flash suppresser, and a silencer for stealthy takedowns. Due to its light weight, it is extremely portable and easy to maintain. The Silenced Submachine Gun is an extremely versatile weapon with very little recoil and offers several strategies for the wielder to choose from. The weapon offers full-automatic fire, capable of dishing out quite a bit of damage. The silenced semi-automatic function acts as a sniper tool, capable of dealing mass amounts of damage if aimed properly. This weapon is capable of taking down an opponent with one well-placed shot to the head. This suppressed round is very accurate, and can be fired accurately from a long distance. Because it is silenced, it is possible to catch opponents off-guard. If one is detected, the primary full-automatic fire can fair well in elevated fire-fights. The Silenced Submachine Gun is a very diverse weapon, and it is highly suggested that any soldier be familiarized with this weapon." (2)

"So Mind came up with a new type of gun," Nancy said looking over the hand held gun then spotted a large gun behind the first one, "What kind of gun is that?"

"The PatriotX1 an assault pistol developed for Top's Security force. It uses 5,56mm X 45 ammunition that can punch through most body armor. The feeder mechanism inside the drum magazine forms an 'OO' shape which makes it hard to conceal but the value in the drum magazine design is that it holds two-hundred rounds per load. And can firer continues without overheating that's to the metal that Mind used in making this gun that can withstand intense heat before melting. But the barrel will become too hot to touch if you firer it for too long and but it won't melt so if you need to change barrels you better wear overmites," Net explain to her. (3)

"So they get the heavy weapons while we got none?" Anita said looking at the cool weapons that Nancy and her son Junior gotten.

"Well you girls do have your paper powers," Net said to the four paper users, "And you girls also been learning how to use the hidden weapon technique which means you girls won't be running out of papers to use in a fight. But the costumes that you girls wore before have been updated." Net drifted over to the costumes for the paper sisters, "These outfits are totally bulletproof and can withstand explosions from most bombs. They also enhance your powers and make's you twice as strong, faster then you girls were before. And you also had notice that they gives you abilities that you didn't had before. Maggie with your snake costume you move with great stealth and speed of a snake. Michelle your ability of creating creatures was greatly enhanced allowing them to move on their own and think for themselves. Anita yours let you to leap on jump like Tigger and allow you to cling to almost any type of surface. And Yomike your mummy outfit combined with paper wrapping makes you all but unstoppable to most firer arms."

"Okay but why do we need to wear costumes?" Michelle asks.

"I don't mind wearing that snake outfit but why do we need to wear them?" Maggie asks Net.

"Simple really you girls don't want to be recognized right?"

"Yes of course we don't," Yomiko said as they didn't want to be in the spotlight.

"That's why superheroes wear costumes it hides who they are and plus it gives them a cool look," Net said, "Besides Ion and Metalgear wear them and they look cool wearing them. Also I'll be teleporting you guys to their base as they're already there. One more thing," Net turn to Nancy, Junior and Nenene, "You three need codenames."

"Well I guess I stay with Writer," Nenene huffed as she knew she could have come up with a better name then that when the Get Backers came for a visit.

"I'll be Spectrum," Nancy said.

"I'm Phantasm," Junior said as he remembers one of the villains in that Batman anime calling herself that name.

"So when are we leaving?" Nancy asks as she loaded her guns.

"Soon as you girls put on your costumes," Net said.

"I'll be in the other room then," Junior said as he took his costume and phased into one of the storerooms in the lab.

"Well time to earn our pay," Nenene said as she took off her clothes and began putting her mages outfit on, the others quickly followed suit.

Back in Japan deep underground –

"So how's the attack going?" the female vampire Vean asks as Jack-O came back from the surface.

"It looks like Ion and her friend Metalgear have made some allies," Jack-O said his body having healed from the damage it received during the chase, "I saw two S-class Succubus's flying in the air and a jeep hold four people in it. From what I saw two of them are S-class demons while one is human but with strong spirit powers and one of those reapers that lead souls to the afterlife. They help those two whelps escape from me."

"What did they look like?" Vean asks.

"The Legions were the ones that were chasing them when they showed up ask them," Jack-O said.

Vean used her magic to look through the Legions eyes when they were chasing the jeep a trick she had pick up from one of the demons she had met while looking around in the demon world, "That must be Yusuke Urameshi crew of spirit detectives," Vean said once she saw him through the eyes of her monsters.

"You know him?" Jack-O asks her.

"Yes I was in the Demon World when the Demon Tournament to decide who should rule the Demon World for the next three years began," she explain, "From what I saw he and his companions aren't people to take likely. He ranks as one of the strongest demons in the Demon World right now and he can easily destroy you if it weren't for the upgrades that I gave you while you were still healing."

"Yes who would have thought that by mixing magic and the bio-technology that my late master created would allow a demon like me to level up to S-class without all of the training that's required to reach this level," Jack-O said.

"Good thing that I took samples from the demons that fought in the tournament to give you that major power-boost," she smiled, "Who knew that by injecting the finish product into you while you were regenerating would boost your powers to S-class level. And because you were created through the power of magic you have the ability to use both spirit and demon powers."

"Yes but even with my new powers I won't be able to handle the combine forces of those demon hunters once they start arriving to stop this monster upraising taking place here. Then there's Dark Hat once he's contacted by the Japanese government we stand zero chance in fighting him. Once he appears then this invasion will be over before we can blink. We need to have everything in place before that, the monsters we summon will be able to buy us the time we need but once the demon hunters and the army arrives then things will become very complex."

"Yes I know, I already having everything going as plan. Everything should be in place in the time frame we set up." Vean eyes turn to the open door, "Torment how's the takeover going?"

Stepping out of the shadows the cloak figure spoke, "The either area of downtown Shibuya is now under our control. The police have tried to take back the streets we have in our control but they have been easily handled."

"Good," Vean said as she brought out a cell-phone dialing a number, then waited till someone picked up, "Hello Poe, you have all of the packages in place? Good once you have them all meet use at the treatment plant for the next step of the plan. And bring Overkill with you I have a feeling that we're going to need him."

"So where's Lovecraft?" Jack-O asks the vampire.

"Oh he went ahead to help the monsters to clear the treatment plant of any humans that might still be there. Toguro and Shelley broke into the bank for that item kept there but they ran into trouble as Junkyard was already there that supervillain with that battlesuit Neclord was building. The water tyrant Fins also fought with Junkyard but he escape to the sewers and down the river when he blasted the tunnel to the river. They did find that metal box in one of the safes but still you haven't told me let what's in the box."

"Oh nothing really just the sample that Neclord had lock up just in case his plans failed," Jack-O grinned.

Vean eyes widen slightly as she realized what could be in the box, "So you're going to… so that's the reason why you wanted to take over the water treatment plant so it be able to spread all throughout the city as quickly as possible."

"Yes and once that happens this city will go up in atomic fire that will burn this city to the ground," Torment said as he clutches his hands into a tight fist, "Than after that I will spread it to the rest of this forsaken island nation."

"Yes and if that fails there's still plan B," Jack-O smiled.

Inside Ions base –

Both Metalgear and Junkyard were place inside the healing tanks to recover from their wounds. Ion and Jinks sat at the main computer talking with Net about what to do next as the monsters now have the downtown area in their complete control now. Yusuke and his friends were busy looking over her base and the gadgets kept there.

"Wow check this out," Kuwabara said as he looks over a game consol, "She has the new PS3 I didn't even know it was even out yet."

"Oh Net look over the designs plans and made one for our base," Ion said.

"So this is what its like to know a super genius," Botan said looking at the high-tech equipment that's laying around the base. The jeep was park down on the lower level below this room.

"We need to set up a plan to stop this from spreading any furthered," Kurama said.

"Since we found Junkyard badly beaten its safe to say that he might know something or saw something that he wasn't suppose to see," Jinks pointed out.

"Well we're going to need all of the help we can get," Lilith said as she sat down on the beanbag chair.

"Even if we are S-class demons we would be overwhelm by those monsters running around," Morrigan said as she lean back on the wall.

"No problem there I'm sending you guys some help," Net spoke up.

"From where?" Ion asks.

"I'm sending in some Dark Hunters to help you guys out and I'm also scanning for any enemy movement," Net said.

"What we don't need some Americans hunters to help us besides we can handle some low power monsters like these guys," Yusuke growled.

"Still sore that Ranma and his team wiped the floor with the last monster attack while you sat in the sidelines right?" Botan said as it was a sore spot for him who started growling louder.

"How long do we have to wait for them?" Kuwabara ask.

"They'll be here shortly," Jinks said.

"How are they going to get here from all of the way from the US?" Yusuke asks, "It's not like they have a teleporting machine right?" Everyone gave him odd looks.

"We're talking about people that know a super genius," Lilith pointed, "You think that someone like Mind wouldn't have figure out how to build some kind of teleporting machine already?"

"And there's Viki the magic user with the power to teleport objects," Ion said.

"So where is it?" Yusuke ask feeling dumb for asking the question earlier.

"Right over there," Jinks said as he push a button on the computer opening a sliding-door at one of the wall sides of the room. Inside the surprisingly big room was something that the people that had saw the movie and the TV series what an actual Stargate.

"Is that what I think it is?" Kurama ask staring at the Stargate.

"Yes Mind made it in the image of the Stargate," Net answered.

"Does she get all of her ideas from TV shows?" Kuwabara ask.

"Yes she does," Morrigan said, "Besides TV shows gadgets are only made up until someone like Mind makes it."

"Also you guys are going to need to suit up," Net spoke up.

"What?" the Spirit crew all shouted.

"Well you guys don't want to have your faces broadcast on international TV right?" Ion asks them, "So you guys are going to have to wear some costumes to hide who you guys are."

"What kind of costumes?" Yusuke ask.

"These," Net said as a laser cannon suddenly pop down from the ceiling and pointed at the Spirit crew. They only had time to let out a shriek as they were zapped by the laser ray everyone but the two Succubus sisters and Botan that is. When the light from the ray faded everyone hit by the ray was now dress in a costume. Kuwabara was dress in a blue high-tech cyber knight's armor that kind of looks like the cyber battle suits of Bubblegum Crisis but made to fit a male form. Kurama was transform into his demon form but instead of being dress in the white robe that he normally wore but instead was dress in a silver colored priest robes that went with his silvery hair. Yusuke had taken the form of his demon form when his demon blood first awakened. His hair was now a long mass that made him look like he belongs to a rock-and-roll band and blue lines covered his body. A short golden horn sprouted out from the right side of his head and a single large leathery wing pop out from his long mass of hair that's slimmer like the wing of the Succubus sisters. His clothes had transformed into an outfit that Yusuke recognize as the outfit that the main character from 'Fist of the North Star' wore.

"Hey cool I'm a Knight Saber!" Kuwabara cried out as he looks over his new duds.

"And Kurama looks good with his new looks," Morrigan as she molded herself to his side.

"So priest how about we pull you down into a sinful life?" Lilith asks jokingly as she clung to his other side.

"I can't ever find a break," Kurama weep as he hung his head down. Its like every time they have the chance to the sisters would try to get into his pants. And his mother was all for it as once he was done with his schooling that he get married and give him some grandchildren. He still has no idea why mothers are usually becomes heads over heels in hearing that they're going to be grandmothers.

"So why am I dress up in this getup?" Yusuke ask Net looking himself over.

"Well you are half demon after all so I have given you the look of a half demon and this look will make it hard for people looking at you to know who you are," Net pointed out.

"Wow you're just like Inuyasha," Ion spoke up.

"Besides you guys right?" he said back.

"That's right," Net said.

"So why aren't they in costume?" Kuwabara ask looking the women of his group.

"Why it's not like they live normal lives in the human world right," Net said, "Also you guys will need codenames for those costumes. Now let's see you Kuwabara will be Tech-Knight, Kurama you'll be 9-Tails and you Yusuke will be Demoniacon."

"Hey why can't we pick out our own codenames?" Yusuke growled.

"Sorry too slow," Net said as she stick out her tongue and pulled down one of her eyelids making Yusuke streaming mad.

"They're coming," Jinks said as the Stargate started up and a glowing blue portal appeared in the empty space of the gateway. The first person to step out of the gateway was a woman. Blonde tresses fell from under a green portpie hat, while a long, flowing, green button-up coat brushed the ground. One hand held a white longbow in front of her. Looking lower they saw her lower half was a long snake's tail. A visor covered her eyes like that guy with the eye beams in that comic from the US. Coming out next was a little girl wearing oversized boots with spring-heels on them. A pair of loose fitting, purple shorts and a purple coat three times her size (her arms didn't even reach out of the sleeves!) continued the ensemble, which was topped by a leather bikers helmet and goggles. Coming out of the gate were two more young women a dark-haired woman with generous curves. She wore nothing but white bandages wrap around her body, making her look like a mummy. The only things that struck out from under the bandages were the spaces for her eyes, nose, her eyes and her long dark hair. Next to her was a tall, thin woman with short hair. She was dressed in a gray pants and shirt. Her mouth was covered with a black guard like doctors use. What was weird was that she carried a huge, totally white sword, holding the heavy weapon without any kind of strain. The sword was something like what would Cloud from 'Final Fantasy 7' would carry around as it looks like his sword that he first uses in the game. Then came a pair that were dress like armored skeletons like the skull bikers from 'Batman Returns' but with tight fitting skull shaped helmets and armored suits. There was a rather well-built woman as they can tell from the curves from her black bodysuit and a small child who they couldn't tell was a girl or a boy. And they were packing some heavy firepower in the guns they carried with them.

"Hi we're Dark Hunters Beta team," the snake tailed blond said smiling.

At the closes Police Station near the downtown area –

Kotobuki sat at his desk as reports were pouring in as this second monster attack happen again in Shibuya. All attempts at taking back streets in the downtown area always ended the same way as the monsters tore the police that tried to bloody pieces. They had gotten as many people out of the downtown area as they could while every once awhile there would be a phone call from the people that were trap in the now dub the Dead Zone. They still have the equipment from the raid they did from the raid on Neclord's tower but there were just too many of them for the police force to handle on their own.

Opening a channel to his home he called to see if Sayo was back let as she and her friend Masato had been reported fighting against the monsters when they first showed up and weren't seen since. He can only hope that they were safe.

"Honey it's you," his wife appeared on the picture phone that Net had installed for them somehow.

"Hon how are things going at home?" Kotobuki asks as he can hear loud hammering over the phone.

"Well Ran is busy boarding up all of the windows in the house and also wants to take out those spare weapons that Sayo is keeping inside her room. Yamato has gone out and is helping out at the shelters as everything is just going crazy around here."

"What about Sayo?"

"I sent Jinks out to bring her to safety. He said that he's going to take her to their base."

"Dad!" Ran said as her face pop on the screen, "Net just e-mail me on my cell. Jinks has gotten Sayo and Masato to their base along with some demon hunters. They were chase away from downtown by those monsters."

"Good they're safe then," Kotobuki said in relief then remember what else Ran had said, "Wait you said some demon hunters?"

"Yeah when the attack started Sayo and Masato fought against a monster that calls itself Torment it had on this brown cloak and covered in bandages and chains. It was too fast and strong for them to handle and knock Masato out cold making Sayo run away from him."

"What?" both parents shouted.

"Yeah and get this Jack-O is still alive and is the one the unleash these monsters on the city," Ran said, "Right now Sayo and those demon hunters that gave her a lift are talking with the Dark Hunters Beta team not Ranma's team but a different one, in what to do next and come up with a plan."

"What how did they get here so fast?" Ran's parents ask.

"By the Stargate that Molly made," Ran replied.

"Oh," both of them understanding as they already know what Mind Hat is like if she's anything like Net Hat that is.

"I need to get out the weapons Sayo keeps in the vault. We're going to need them when the monsters start pouring out of downtown," Ran said as she took off for the new basement that Net had somehow gotten it built without any of them finding out before hand, or how it was built without the noise of digging out the vault being installed. The vault held spare equipment for Sayo and Masato weapons and armor as well as some toys to be use incase of a monster attack.

"Wait don't!" Mrs. Kotobuki shouted as she chase after her middle child.

Mr. Kotobuki sighed as he turn off the video phone as Ran began shout at her mother about wanting to help out her little sister and her friend with the monsters running around. He just hopes that his wife will be able to talk her out of it. There was a knock on the door he call out to come in and Lt. Wen came into his office.

"Sir they're here," Wen said as they needed all of the help they could get so there was a call on the News for any fighters, magic user and demon hunters that can make it to Shibuya.

Getting up Kotobuki followed Wen to the meeting room where all the people that answered the call waited. Inside the room were quite a few fighters from the Dead or Alive Tournament, World Fighting Tournament, King of Iron Fist Tournament, King of Fighter's Tournament, Virtua Fighter Tournament, and from the Street Fighter Tournament. It seems like all the fighters that were in Japan were here now. There was also a host of people that are dress in strange grabs, two girls dress in Chinese like clothes and one of them had her hair in a hair style like Sailor Moon. And sitting next to them were a pair of girls that look just like them but dress in different colored clothes. (4) In the next row is a young man with long spiky hair holding a large spear and setting next to him is a large cat-like red furred demon.

Everyone in the room is staring at the picture from the projector that looks like something that Mind Hat would have come up with as the pictures are all showing data on the monsters that are being shown on the screen. The person operating the projector is a young woman. She's attractive, curvaceous, wearing a futuristic spandex shirt, purple, which is quite tight, and even tighter spandex shorts, black. Her blond hair, bundled in pigtails, while is childish-looking, the small pair of glasses gives her, a sophisticated edge to her. Most interesting was the massive robotic gauntlet that she wore. While the left was slender with long fingers, purple nail he noted, the right arm was a mechanized marvel that would make Mind Hat proud. And looking down, he saw that she had on a pair of purple roller-skates. It took him awhile to recognize her as Area from the Street Fighter Tournament.

There was a spokeswoman at the front of the screen reading off the information that's been gathered about the monsters and how to best handle them. She's Chinese, Kotobuki noted, and quite beautiful. Especially with her hair rolled up into buns. And she's wearing a form fitting blue Chinese dress covering her firm breasts and fishnet stalkings over her long muscular legs. She's Chun Li of Interpol if he remembers right.

"Ah Mr. Kotobuki good your here," Chun Li said as she steps down to give him the stand, "I already explain about the monsters that are in the city." She sat herself down next to Ryu who's sitting near the front.

"Thank you," Kotobuki said as he took the stand going right down to business, "The two teen superheroes, Ion and Metalgear have already engaged with the monsters in the downtown area but were force to retreat when they face off with a monster that calls itself Torment and escape with the help from some demon hunters that were in the area at the time. Jack-O one of Neclord enforcers that Ion fought during the raid is still alive. He's the one that's responsible for unleashing these monsters upon the city."

"So what are they up to?" asks someone in the front row. Kotobuki turn to the one that had asks.

Sitting up in front was a group of fighters that seem to be more military then the rest of the fighters here. A giant military man with the upper right quarter of his face and his right arm replaced with cybernetics. His remaining muscles bulge, his strength most likely equal to that of one of Neclords strongmen monster enforcers. To the right was a curvy young woman in a tight green swimsuit outfit. Her long well tone legs are alluring. The black combat boots she wears seem off from her gorgeous figure. She has a giant sword strap to her back and a massive revolver spinning in her slender hands. She is quite attractive with her long blond hair made into long braided ponytails and slim body. Even the scar on her cheek did nothing to diminish her beauty. She's wearing a tight green swimsuit over her lushes figure and green body paint made in strips decorated her body. A pair of large handguns hanged off of her gun-holster. Both of the women wore red berets. On the right of them is a young kid in a black stealth uniform who is typing into some sort of wireless keyboard. There is also a…cycloptic blob… on his shoulder. Shinji didn't know what the hell that was. Behind the kid was another man in a green outfit, red beret, and a large facial scar was the one that had ask him the question.

"Wait a minute why are you guys from MI6 are here in Japan anyways?" Lt. Wen asks as she keeps a close eye on the fighting tournaments as she had gotten hook on them since Ranma Jones came into town.

"Oh well we all had vacation time since the upper brass are still shifting things around ever since the Jocker scandal and Chun Li here accidentally ordered one too many tickets for a trip to Japan so we hitched a ride with her," Delta Red Chief Commander William Watson said.

"Really?" Lt. Wen said as she turns her attention to Chun Li.

"Yeah I let them tag along as it would just be a waste of money if I didn't use them," she said sighing, "Besides I couldn't get my money back on the tickets."

"Hey since Jack-O is still alive does that mean Ranma's group are coming to help then?" ask a girl in a typical blue and white Japanese schoolgirl uniform with sandy brown hair name Sakura. Around her were other teenagers that wore some kind of school uniform. Kotobuki remembers them coming from those schools that had a plot line like something out of an anime. A few months ago before Neclord show up, some high schools around one of the close by cities experienced a few disappearances. At first no one knew what was the cause for the missing students from the schools. Then, a few students discovered that Raizo, a teacher, was brainwashing various students from the schools for his own private agenda. Needless to say, Raizo's plan was ruined by the active participation of the students. The active participation was a full-blown street fight. A fight between various teachers and students ending with Raizo's plans destroyed. (5)

"No another team was sent instead, the Dark Hunters Beta team," Kotobuki replied, "They're trying to figure out what Jack-O is planning."

"I can answer that," through the doors a man in long, dark trench coat with matching wide brim black hat that covers his eyes came in. The man removed his hat and smiled, "Kuroudo Akabane but I'm better known as Doctor Jackal at your service."

Those who have heard of the killer Doctor Jackal stood up or drew their weapons aiming on the transporter. Akabane just merely smile, "I would like to sharpen my skills on all of you but I got a job to do."

"Which is what?" Kotobuki ask him keeping a hand on his gun as he heard about the transporter that loves to kill.

"To give you this disk," Doctor Jackal said as he pulls out a disk from his coat. Area quickly grabs the chip out of his hands looking it over.

"Hello what is this?" Area said out loud as she inserts the disk into a slot in her robotic gauntlet, "It's a recording." She pops the disk out and puts it into her projector. Pictures from a security camera began to play on the screen showing the inside of a banks vault. Which show Junkyard stealing everything he could get his hands on stuffing them into sacks, from the date on the tape it took place earlier in the morning about the time the monsters first started to show up in the city, then the scene change as the vault door was rip open. Two people a man and a woman entered the vault the audio was on so they heard everything that's going on inside the bank vault. The two people Toguro and Shelley attack Junkyard once that huge fish-like monster name Fin burst through the wall. They watch the fight before Junkyard retreated into the sewers with Fin following him and from the sounds of it Junkyard was fighting his way through the monsters in the sewers. Toruro and Shelley stayed behind as they search through the lockers in the vault. Finally Shelley finds what they're looking from a small box she opens it and shouts to Toguro she found it and for them to go the meeting place. He said okay but not before grabbing two of the sacks that Junkyard was using taking the loot with them.

"So some of the I-jin's are still around," Akabane said as he has already figured out why the woman Shelley had super strength and lightning powers.

"What?" the fighters from England shouted as they knew what I-jin's are.

"Yes as if you all remember from the indent with Joker before the Gentleman died there were several attacks around the world dealing with stolen rare books. Well I-Jins were behind those attacks," Akabane explain, "I-jin are clones made from people that have written great books or were genius in their own fields. That one that you just saw is the clone of Mary Shelley the writer of Frankenstein and it looks like she has all of his powers and some new ones as well."

"Just great we're going to fight against a mess that England made," one of the people in the back said.

"Why are you here anyways? Who sent you?" Lt. Wen asks Akabane.

"Well my new boss told me to give that disk to you and give you guys some information as well," he smiled.

"Which is what?" Area asks who was near him.

"Simple that box that they took from the bank contains the last sample of the Z-virus," Doctor Jackal grinned as shock swept through the crowd, "They have already found a location where they can spread the virus quickly."

The people around Akabane were about to shout at him to tell them when the screen lit up again and Net Hat appeared on it, "Hi it's me the greatest AI ever created is here to give you guys some information about the attacks!" Then she notice Akabane, "Oh hi Jackal still working for Dark Hat I see."

"He works for Dark Hat?" everyone in the room said at once.

"He sure does after the butt whopping that Dark gave to Jackal after that job he took he's been working for him ever since. Something about wanting to be stronger as Jackal had reach his full fighting potential when he fought Dark lasting about ten minuets fighting against Dark. Jackal's ability to recover from almost any kind of fatal blows allowed him to last as long as he did and that Dark allowed him to recover from each of his attacks since he was interested to see how long Jackal could fight before he gave up or finally submits to his wounds. Which Akabane did to the later when his body couldn't take it anymore," Net informed them.

"WOW!" Area moaned as she stared at Net Hat with stars in her eyes as she switch her focus between Net and the screen on her robotic gauntlet showing data on Net as her glasses were sending the feedback into it, "An actually AI that's fully sentinel with its surroundings, can make decision by itself. Fully loaded with all of the information that she needs to know and can learn without having to upload any new data as it can do it on its own."

"So you're the second smartest person in the world besides my creator Mind Hat," Net said looking Area over, "Those rocket skates you have are good but have a balance problem when it's in full power and the weight from your gauntlet while it's a powerful weapon it does gives you a slight back problem as there's more weight on one side then the other."

"Hey," Area shouted as she sent a heated glare at Net.

Waving the second rate genius off, "I just came from the meeting with Dark Hunters Beta team. While I was scanning around I came across a massacre going on at the Water Treatment Plant in the downtown area." Net disappear from the screen to be replace with something that made everyone jump back in their seats. It was a massive bulk of flesh that stood almost twenty feet high from the data of information that was showing next to it. It's grotesque bulk of fat oozed, hanging off of its massive frame. Its huge maw was filled with teeth, its hand have talons for nails. The only piece of clothes it wore was a cut of shapeless leather warp around its massive waist. Everyone in the room watch in horror as it smash its way into the plant and began munching on the people that had ran into the building to escape from the monsters outside. "This monster from the scans I made from it is another I-jin clone from the master of horror shaped into his most horrifying creation the Cthulhu is H.P. Lovecraft. Its safe to say that in a one-on-one fight it's useless to fight him head long. His body is able to withstand tons of damage before he starts to feel anything. According to my scans his body is like rubbery and soft so it would be like punching a marshmallow."

The scene on the screen change to that of a man dress in old pre-industrial America style clothes colored black. A small cape like cloth is connected to both of the underside of his arms like those of a bat but was feathery like that of a black feathered bird. The man has black hair a small mustache, his skin sickly pale also very thin. The other wasn't even remotely human. Everyone in the room that has read his work and saw his pictures knew who he was quickly, "Poe I spotted on top of a building but before I could get a good scan on him," the scene became blurry as hundreds of ravens flew through the air engulfing Poe in a wall of feathers then when it became clear he was gone, "I didn't have time to scan him of what kind of powers he has but it has something to do with all of those ravens. Which means you guys could be attack by hundreds of pecking birds at anytime like in the movie 'The Birds'. The I-jins were taken from one of Dokusensha old storage buildings. These three writers Shelley, Lovercraft, and Poe were chosen because who would be better to led an army of monsters on a city, since they are the ones that inspired modern writers of horror."

"So what's the plan to stop Jack-O's plan?" Kotobuki ask.

The screen change pictures again to show a pale young woman in gothic style clothes, the people in the room could still hear Net's voice, "Vean is one of the girls that Neclord change into a vampire but unlike the other girls she had embrace becoming a vampire before she was change. She learned how to use magic and to summon spirits of the dead back to the Human World. All of the monsters are powered by human souls that had only known death and hatred in life that made them easy to be transformed into monsters that reflect how they had died."

"So all of the monsters reflect how they had died," Kotobuki said, "So who are the souls that she had summon?"

"Hey I'm a cutting edge high tech AI not a spirit channeler you know," Net snap, "My scans weren't made to be able to tell what or where spirits came from or what they were in life. Besides why are we talking about spirits when Vean is going to use her magic to enhance the Z-virus so that it will be able to affect the entire city in mere minutes, the Z-virus needs to be in a gas form to be able to turn people into the living dead. So once they pour the virus into the water and have it spread through the sewers Vean will use a spell to vaporize all of the water in the sewers into gas and anyone who breathes in the vapor will be infected with the virus. Since the virus will be watered down it won't effects anyone right away but it will begin to transform the infected people in a matter of weeks. Why you might asks so that the carriers will be able to disperse once they learn their effected will run away trying to find a cure. When that happens trying to contain the people infected will all but impossible and once they being to transform into zombies it will be Dawn of the Dead thing but in Japanese style."

Seeing the shock looks of the people in the room she continued on, "The only ways to stop this is to either get the sample of Z-virus before it gets to the water treatment plant or if it's too late take out Vean before she completes the spell to evaporate all of the water in the sewers. If it's too late to stop the virus then the only thing left to do is to nuke the entire city to stop the virus from spreading, just like in the ending of Resident Evil 3."

"So what are we waiting for then?" Chun Li shouted as she stood up, "Where's this treatment plant we'll just go and blow it up before they can spread it."

"And what we do if we do bomb it as you want to, then they might escape from the bombing and just find somewhere else to spread the virus. The only reason they're using the plant is that it connects to all of the water pipes in the city. Besides you won't be able to launch and missiles into the downtown area. There's an energy field around the downtown area that disrupts electrical equipment like an EMP wave, when they enter the area. I can still look around in the area but only because Mind made sure that all of her equipment will be able to work as I have built in EMP shielding. So the problem is that how will you guys get to the treatment plant without being swarm by those monsters running around. Will don't worry because I already arrange transport for you guys." The screen light up as a picture of a train like tank appeared on it. The train and the cars it pulls behind it were all arm with guns on both sides and on top of the cars. (6) "This is the Stream Tank that Mind made it's up and ready to be use. The plan is that you guys ride in the train cars that the train will pull protecting you guys from having to fight your way into the downtown area. The train will take you guys to the shopping district where the monsters are mostly consecrated at. Once there you guys will have to hold your ground drawing the monsters away from the plant, the monsters will try to get into the plant when Ion and the others go in to stop Jack-O and his gang from turning every human in the city into zombies. It's up to you guys to draw their attention away from the plant or they might abandon their plans for the plant and find another place to spread the Z-virus."

"Wait why do we have to stay outside while they get to fight Jack-O and his team?" the girl in the red dress and Sailor Moon style hair ask with her double nodding in agreement with her.

"Simple really because Ion has already fought against Jack-O and the Dark Hunters jobs are to fight against monsters like the ones running around. Besides someone has to make sure that the monsters in the street don't try to stop the people inside from stopping Jack-O's plan you know," Net said, "Also from the energy readings that I gotten on Jack-O he's much more powerful then Neclord was. It seems he had a major power boost he's now an S-class demon."

"What!" the girl from before shouted, "How did he become an S-class demon last time he was only a high C-class."

"Yes well he had help," Net said, "I'm sure that Vean had something to do with his power boost. Neclord wasn't much of a hand-to-hand fighter and was only rank as an A-class demon but his power came from his knowledge of magic which allowed him to fight on an even level with all but the highest S-class demons. Also you guys are forgetting about something about Jack-O his acid breathe attack. Everyone in Ion's team are wearing suits that will give them some protection to his acid breathe. Some of you guys have fought against strong fighters before but have any of you fought against someone who only has to breathe on you to kill you before?"

"Wait how come they're the only ones that get to wear the protective costumes?" a young man with tall broom like blond hair dress all in purple shouted. He's with a tall guy in a black uniform with a scar over his right eye a young girl wearing a biker outfit holding a helmet with a skull on it. And a huge guy a green uniform that is heavily adapted since there are no standard uniforms for someone of his size. Reinforcing it with a wooden barrel, also wears a severely undersized visor on his head. There are also other guys that all look like gang members around the four. But then the guy in purple leaned back when Net Hat zoomed over to him into his face.

"You're Eiji 'Edge' Yamada of the Gedo gang," Net said as she makes a notepad appear in her hands, "What you're too much of a baby to fight without armor?"

"Hey!" Edge yelled as he tries to hit her but just sees his hand go through her.

"I'm a hologram idget!" Net smirk at him, "Well since you brought it up I already have the train cars equip with armor and weapons for you guys to use. The armor can fit all sizes and the weapons are all special forces none stander weapons since the stander weapons won't cut it with these monsters."

"So when do we attack?" Lt. Wen asks.

"When you guys get your lazy fleshy butts into the train cars it's waiting out in front. So get your butts in gear or I tell Mind that you guys all volunteer to be her new test subjects with her latest gadgets," Net shouted causing the people in the room to run for the door not wanting to be Mind's test subject as they all have heard what's Mind Hat is like.

Doctor Jackal smiled as he found himself the only one left in the room besides the floating hologram, "So Net are they ready yet?"

"Yup just going through the plan one more time and waiting for those guys to board the train and get all of the monsters attention first."

"So why didn't you tell them where the souls that are powering the monsters came from or who they were in life?" smiling a dark smile.

"If I told them would you think they'll have their hearts into the fight coming ahead?"

"I guess not," he said smiling knowing, "Of course once they find out as things like this have a way of doing so… I wonder how they'll be able to take the truth about their past."

"You better not tell them or you know what Dark might do to you," Net said eyeing Doctor Jackal.

"I wouldn't dream to," he said as he adjusted his hat, "I wouldn't get to see their faces when they find out for themselves if I did."

At Ion's base –

"So that's the plan," Net said to the group of custom wearing super powered people in the room.

"The cops got together some of the best fighters in the world this quickly that were near the city already?" Tech-Knight said as he has been a fan of fighting Tournaments for many years now.

"At least with them driving through the streets in the Stream Train we won't have to fight all the way to the plant," Ion said.

"And all we have to do is fight against the sup-up monsters that are in charge," Spring-Heel-Jill said.

"Well at least you guys won't have to fight them alone like I did," Junkyard said as he and Metalgear were all healed up and ready to go.

"You're going to help us with the upcoming battle?" Metalgear asks his and Ion's only arch-foe in the city.

"Those guys ruined my bank job and almost killed me, of course I'm going help you guys beat them for the time being anyways," Junkyard said.

"You're acting like one of those supervillains in those shows that Jill likes to watch," the tall woman with the huge sword calling herself Tamer said.

"Only helping until the job is done with, returning back to a life of crime," Snake-Tail said.

"Well that's how I work," Junkyard said.

"Still can't believe that Toguro gotten free from that tree trap thing 9-Tails used," Tech-Knight huffed.

"This time I won't leave him someplace where someone can free him," 9-Tails said.

"So how are we going to get to the treatment plant?" Warp the mummy ask.

"You already gave away that Stream Train tank to the cops to use," Spectrum said.

"So what are we going to use?" Demoniacon asks still not liking his codename, "Since that magic field won't let you teleport us to the Water Treatment Plant."

The computer screen lit up as an APC appeared on screen. It was like a tank but instead of treads has six big tires on it. A heavy machine gun is mounted on top of the APC and has a glass dome on top of it protecting the gunner, "The Armadillo is fast equip with medium tank armor and can reach speeds of 140 mph if its on even ground can climb on any kind of terrain that will let you guys get over almost any roadblocks that you might find while driving in the streets. Also the Armadillo has heavy armor at the front of it so you guys should be able to use it as a battering-ram to get through the rubble that litters the street."

"How come we don't have equipment like that in D.H.?" Phantasm asks as he had look over the equipments in the agency and there's nothing like that in stock.

"Hello it's the American government you're talking about of course they wouldn't have something like that in stock," Net said, "They went to war with Iraq without equipping their soldiers with body armor or the supplies that they needed to win."

"She has a point there," Writer said, "Jones did say that Bush is really out of touch with the real world."

"Yup and why Mind won't give any of her advance weapons to them as long as someone like Bush is in power," Morrigan said, "She knows what that would mean."

"Humans are so interesting," Lilith said, "They can be so much worse then we demons can ever be."

"Cut it out you two," Jinks said.

"Besides we got a job to do," Junkyard said, "So where's the Armadillo?"

"It's at the hanger under this floor," Net told him, "Also don't forget the camera pods." Several camera pods came flying into the room two to three locked on someone in the room following them wherever they go.

"Why are you going to film this for?" Demonicon asks looking at the cameras pointing at him. Looking over at the two Succubus sisters striking sexy poses for the camera pods.

"Oh come on this way no one will be able to blame you guys in destroying anything while fighting against those monsters," Net pointed out.

"Good point," Wrap agreed with Net.

"Well let's get this show on the road," Ion said as she and Metalgear lead them to their hanger.

Awhile later –

The stream train rolled down the streets of downtown Shibuya, pulling along twelve boxcars behind it. The powerful train tore through the objects that stood in its way, abandon cars were sent flying or were crash in its wake. The monsters that littered the streets became road-kill as they were hit by the incoming train. The train's guns blaze away at the monsters as some of them tried to climb aboard or the larger ones try to knock the train onto its side by ramming it. The people inside are the combine forces of the police force and the fighters that had gathered for this fight. The train was going down every open street that the radar says is clear enough to drive through and getting the attention of all of the monsters in the downtown area while they were at it.

Inside the control room of the train engine compartment, the operator was busy driving the train as her small gunner manned the front guns. Kotobuki who is riding out in the front of the train was frowning as he figured out who the two operators of the train are. Judging from the brown locks of hair from the older woman driver that peeked out from under her helmet it wasn't hard for him to guess who the girl that blasting with the front train guns is. He wasn't the only one riding in the front as some of the police members and some of the fighters were in the car too.

Whispering to the driver, "So hon how did this happen?"

Whispering back, "Well Net showed up and asks if Ran wanted to drive a tank that's like a stream train through downtown blasting away at the monsters." She turns her eyes to Ran whose shouting and yelling as she blasted the monsters that are in front of the speeding train, "Somehow I got talk into driving the train when I said that Ran didn't even know how to drive a car so I'm driving instead of her. While since she likes those shooting games that she plays all of the time is manning the front guns."

"Hey what's with these camera pods?" Chun Li shouted from her seat as she and her group had gotten into the engine car. There was one camera pod that was hovering above everyone in the train. When everyone had gotten on board the train, popping out from the walls came out those camera pods that Mind had used from before.

"Oh those Mind said she would lean us this train but only if she could film the butt whopping were doing!" Ran shouted out as she blasted the monsters on the streets.

"And that was the only way we would have something that would be able to carry everyone at the same time without having all of our forces all over the place where they can be overrun," Mrs. Kotobuki added.

"Look out!" Ran shouted as the road in front them cave in as a group of Inflamers burst up from underneath spiting fire at the train. Mrs. Kotobuki pulled at the wheel turning the train into a narrow side street that the train barely fit into. That's when the train was hit by an onslaught of rifle firer as Trigger-Happy's open firer on the train from atop of the buildings that are on the streets sides.

"We're in a gauntlet!" Chun Li shouted from her seat as she felt the bullets shaking the train as they hit, "Get us out of here!"

"Trying to!" Mrs. Kotobuki shouted as she pushes the train into high gear then shouted into the speaker, "Everyone manning the guns firer at the Trigger-Happies before they hit something important!"

"Okay!" Ran shouted as she turns he guns upwards but quickly brought them back down as she began blasting away at the cars and fences that's blocking their path trying to clear a path for them, "I hope that Ion's team is making good time with this distraction." Then her eyes widen as she spotted what was coming up ahead in the street, "Ramp!"

"Ramp?" Mrs. Kotobuki said before she saw what her daughter had spotted, "Everyone brace for impact!"

The street ahead of them was lifted up like that of a ramp at a motor show. The speeding train hit the ramp and flew through the air then landing heavily back to the street. The impact hitting the street broke the front wheels of the train causing it to slide down the street being propelled by its weight and speed it was going. The cars that was behind the train got unhinged sending the cars crashing into buildings or following the first train down the street crashing into the storefronts that were at the end of the street. The train and the twelve cargo cars littered the street, with nearly half of the cars were still in the side street some ending up inside some of the buildings. The other cars had all crashed into the storefront of a clothes store.

"Is everyone alright?" Mrs. Kotobuki said over the intercom.

"Good thing that Mind design the train cars to be like bank vaults," Ran said as she was glad that she had on a helmet.

"Well that was a fun ride," Doctor Jackal said, "Much more fun than those rides at those fun parks."

"You would enjoy something like this," Chun Li said glaring at him.

"Not as much fun I'm going to have with those fellows coming over to play," Doctor Jackal said as he open the train door giving everyone a clear view of the horde of monsters coming down the street.

Kotobuki hit the intercom, "Everyone they're coming our way everyone get ready for battle." He grabs one of the belt-fed light machine gun that uses armor piercing rounds that looks like a tommy-gun. He threw his wife a carbine and was about to throw Ran a gun when he saw she already had one, "What's that?"

"It's an Electromagnetic Rail Gun," she smiled as she lifted the big and long cannon, "Mind made this weapon for me." She hopped out of the car and the barrel of the gun powered up and blasted the incoming monsters with a blast of high voltage, "Come on let's show these guys they can't push us around!"

"I'm beginning to like this girl," Doctor Jackal smiled before he pull out his knives and began cutting a path through the mob of monsters that are quickly filling the streets.

Outside the water treatment plant –

"Damn there's no end to these guys!" Yusuke shouted as he blasted another group of monsters as they sprang out of nowhere. He manned the heavy gun shooting any monsters that try to stop them. The hanger had a teleportation pad that transported them as close to the magic field as it could. Spectrum took the wheel and was showing them how skill she is with driving an APC.

"The Treatment Plant is just a block away, turn left then just drive through the that restaurant glass windows to get there," Morrigan shouted into her head radio as she and her sister flew overhead shouting down what they saw to Spectrum so she could drive the clearest path to the plant.

"Alright everyone get ready we're going in!" Spectrum shouted as she drove through and out of the restaurant that Morrigan spotted. Once through she saw the treatment plant, it's surrounded by high cerement walls around the compound and saw that the place was overrun with monsters, "Lilith, Morrigan clear the area for us!"

"On it!" the sisters shouted as they blasted the area with their energy attacks clearing the area. The APC drove on it going past the monsters before they could regroup. And the transport didn't stop until the APC crashed into the front of the plant destroying the front door and causing the ceiling to fall in its wake sealing the way they had came in.

"Well it looks like it's our job to keep these guys busy," Morrigan said to her sister. As monsters started appearing out of the nearby buildings and crawling out of the sewers.

"Yeah which means we can really cut it loose," Lilith said as she and her sister blasted the monsters in the parking lot drawing their attention away from the people that are inside the plant over to them. The two soon found themselves surrounded as they fought off the advancing monsters coming for them.

Inside the Treatment Plant –

The Armadillo after crashing through the front door was now struck in the rubble and the tight hallway of the front of the Water Treatment Plant. They had driven through most of the front of the building by going through the walls till they ending up somewhere in the middle of the building. The corridor split into three hallways the one on the right leads to the upper-floors, the left goes to the lower-levels and the middle to the water treatment area. The APC door was kick open as the people inside pilled out while two of them just phase through the tank.

"Well as they say any crash that you can walk away from is a good one," the driver said.

"Yeah, yeah but you should have warn us that you were going to do that," Teach-Knight said as he pulled the machine gun off of the struck APC knowing that it would come in handy later.

"Do we split up and search the place?" Snake-Tail asked as she pulled herself out of the APC.

"What and have us being picked off one at a time no thanks," Junkyard said, "There's no way we're going to split up not in a place like this."

The weaken wall next to the down APC burst open as a group of Infecters stumbled into the room. Everyone open firer on the monsters but they quickly found out that once they were hit they popped like balloons spraying the area with the liquid that was inside of them releasing clouds of toxic gas into the air. Everyone ran out of the room as they knew that breathing in the gas would mean death, but they didn't all run down just one hallway as they split into three groups. Jinks being a robot stayed behind to handle the monsters that are coming through the hole in the wall. Junkyard, Phantasm, Ion, Jill, and Metalgear ran for the middle hallway. Snake-Tail, Writer, Tamer, and 9-Tails headed to the top floors. Demonicon, High-Tech, Wrap, and Spectrum took the hallway to the lower floors.

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

In the upper floors –

"Great now we're all split up," Writer said as they made their way up to the roof to get a better view of the plant.

"Well we should be able to make our way to where Jack-O is planning to dump the virus at," Snake-Tail said.

"Careful once we're on the roof no telling what's waiting for us there," 9-Tails said.

"We're here," Tamer said as she opens the door to the roof.

The sun had already setting in the evening sky making a twilight sky that was only seen between nightfall and sunset. They all jump back as something black and feathery flew past them. Looking around they saw flocks of ravens, perched along the guardrails of the rooftop. One of the large black birds let out its morose shriek, and they all shivered at the sound. There were hundreds of them, ruffling their shiny feathers and watching them with bright, beady eyes. Then they saw it.

A body of one of the plant workers was on the roof. A lifeless impostor of a human slumped against an AC unit. His body was covered with wounds, most an inch or two across and surrounded by raw, bloody flesh. It was as if he'd been stabbed hundreds of times with a dull knife, each vicious cut ripping away chunks of skin and muscle. Part of his ribcage was cruelly exposed, slivers of white showing beneath tattered redness. His eyeless, streaming stare was the crowning horror – like the killer hadn't been content to take the workers life, wanting his soul instead…

"Everyone be on guard," 9-Tails said as he made the connection to the dead body and the ravens. The others got what he was getting at and got ready for battle with the ravens.

"It's been a long time fox," a green haired made said as he seem to melt through an air vent and took shape.

"Toguro," 9-Tails growled, "This time I won't leave you in one piece."

"Well then let's just get this fight started," Toguro said as his hands formed into claws and the other a blade, "Poe those girls are yours." Toguro jump backwards as 9-Tails lashed out at him with his rose whip. The two began trading blows as they block and counter-attack each other.

A cloud of ravens flew around in a tight circle then dispersed, leaving behind a man dress all in black holding a long black cane. "So I get to dance with three young women. Let's see how you three dance." He pulled on his cane showing that it's a cane-sword.

"You're going to have to do better then that," Writer smirked as she has gotten the hand of how to use her magic staff.

"Very well then, I'll do better," Poe said before he made a face like he was going to throw up but instead of his lunch coming out a beak of that of a raven jutted out of his mouth. They all watch in sickling awe as black feathers burst out from underneath his skin. The cape he wore became wings like that of a raven but they were instead attached like that of a bat's leaving his hands free while he flies. Where there was a man before was now a monster raven-man. "Quote the raven never more." The now Poe Raven cawed out as the flock of ravens flew at the girls.

"Me and my big mouth," Writer said as she and the others fought off the ravens and their master.

Down in the basement –

Spectrum and Tech-Knight ran for the heavy metal door as they fired at the monsters following them. When their group got to the lower floors they were imminently were chase by a horde of Ravenous. Since fighting them in the small hallway was out of the question even if Demonicon wanted to they ran. Spectrum and Tech-Knight fired at the horde of hungry monsters taking them down easily enough but there were just so many of them.

"What are you guys waiting for?" Demonicon shouted as held the door for them.

"Hurry!" Wrap shouted.

"Don't wait for me!" Spectrum said as she stops and fired at the Ravenous horde slowing them down then pulled out a grenade and threw it. The blast took a lot of the monsters out but more just kept on coming.

"Close it!" Wrap shouted as she slams shut the door and locking it shut.

"Wait what about…" Tech-Knight started but then stop as Spectrum phase through the metal door reloading her gun, "Oh yeah forgot that she could do that."

"So some of the Japanese think that they can play heroes," a cloak figure said as it walks into the light that came from the ceiling above, the sounds of chains clanking together was coming from underneath that cloak it wore. The room they had wondered into was the cesspools were the waste of the city was treated and broken before they went to be filtered. Tech-Knight was glad that his helmet also acted like a gasmask as judging from what the faces of the others the smell must be overwhelming.

"Wait you're Torment," Demonicon said as he remembers the pictures that Net showed everyone.

"That's right and its time for me to get rid of some trash," Torment said calmly before he darted forward kneeing Demonicon in his guts then grabbing him in a headlock throwing him through a wall. And faster then the others could react followed his prey, jumping through the gaping hole that he had made.

"Come on!" Tech-Knight shouted but then stop as a huge figure jump down in front of them. His mind try to piece what he's seeing together but even the demons that he have seen over the years didn't prepare him to what's in front of him. It was humanoid. Human, almost, in that it share the same body shape as a human. It was a massive bulk of flesh that almost touched the ceiling of the high ceiling room. It's grotesque bulk of fat oozed, hanging off of its massive frame. Its huge maw was filled with teeth, its hand have talons for nails. The only piece of clothes it wore was a cut of shapeless leather warp around its massive waist.

"It's the Cthulhu!" Wrap shouted as she knows Lovecraft's works. Spectrum opened firer at it, quickly being joined by Tech-Knight with the heavy-machine gun he took from APC. Lovecraft growled as it was shot at, its massive bulk absorbing the bullets as they hit causing no real damage. It lifted its massive hands up and slams them down making the heroes jump for cover as it tried to hit them.

Upstairs –

The younger heroes ran over the outside catwalk hanging over the tanks were the sewer water is filtered at. As they were chased by a group of Frost-skates and Beheaders ran after them. Their dissention is for the chemical building where chemicals are added to the filtered water to make it drinkable again. Phantasm had pointed out that the building was the best place for the virus to be release at.

"Isn't there an end to these guys?" Junkyard shouted as he blasted the walkway behind them clear with his twin shoulder cannons.

"Tell me something that I don't know," Ion shouted back as she zapped the wet monsters but there were other monsters just ready to take their place after one of them goes down another takes its place.

"We got to get to the building," Jill said as she slice off the limbs of the monsters with her cards she kept in her subspace pocket as she found out that even if she cut their heads off the monsters would still attack even if they couldn't see it was like they could tell where they were without their heads. So she's cutting their limbs off as well as their heads off to make sure they're really dead.

"On it!" Metalgear said as he dash forward to the door after blasting the Frost-skates away from him as they couldn't let any of the ice monsters touch them. Once he got there he found that it was locked tight," Its lock have to blast it in!"

"Don't if you do that then how are, we going to keep these guys out!" Ion shouted as she blocks the arm blades of a Beheader, kicking him into one of filter tanks.

"I'll open it," Phantasm said as he ran through the door. Sounds of objects being move out of the way came inside before the door open, "Get in!" Everyone quickly ran through the door before it was slam shut in the monsters faces. And then the objects that had blocks the door was quickly put back into place.

"That should hold them," Jill said as she used some paper to enforce the door. Inside the building was the control and monitors that show the inflow of the chemicals going into the water. Looking over to the side wall was the map of the building showing there's a second building behind this one where all the treated water was first check over to be sure it's clean enough before going back into the drinking supply.

The room started to flicker as if there was a power surge, "Well, well look at what the cat drag in," a tall woman said as she walk towards them. The lights lit up to blinding light before exploding when they couldn't handle the power going into them.

"So Shelley we meet again," Junkyard said as he steps in front of the group, "She's mine you guys go on ahead."

"Alright be careful," Ion said as she and the others took off for the exit.

"So you think that you can beat me all by yourself?" Shelley asks as she threw off her overcoat showing the powerful shapely body underneath covered with a tight fitting red cyber-suit.

"Yes I'm sure," Junkyard said as he fired his shoulder cannons. Then he saw Shelley creating an electrical shield around her blocking the laser cannon firer.

"Sorry but you have to do better then that to beat me," Shelley said as she powered up.

"Bring it on!" Junkyard shouted as he began firing at the supercharge I-jin.

At the other end of the building –

Ion and the others reached the office area of the building in the foreground they could hear Junkyard and Shelley fighting with one another behind them. One of the doors burst open as a fish like monsters jump out of one of the office rooms. Fin took in a breath and spat out a thick ball of slime at them hitting Metalgear sticking him to the wall.

"What is this stuff?" Metalgear shouted as he tried to free himself from the slime coating.

"Take this!" Ion shouted as she and Phantasm covered Jill as she used her cards to cut Metalgear free.

Fin covered his face with his armored arms as his body was built to be able to withstand the pressures of the deep his body was able to withstand the bullets and the lightning bolts being thrown at him. He steadily made his way to the two attacking him even as they threw everything they got at him. But then was blasted backwards as a charge up blast from Metalgears blaster knocks him back into one of the offices.

"Guys go on I'll handle him," Metalgear shouted as his blaster was made to handle big guys like Fin. Speaking of which was climbing out of the hole he had made when he was blasted through the office door.

"Be careful," Ion shouted as she and the others ran down the hallway to the exit. As she ran she could hear Metalgears blaster firing away as Fin scream and leap at him.

They reach outside that's the back lot where the trucks with the chemicals are park at. And instead of trucks they found that the path block off by a horde of Legions. The dog like monsters growled as they slowly advance and the three heroes.

"This is bad," Jill said as there were just too many for them to handle.

The Legions in the front were all suddenly blasted away as a small figure suddenly appeared out of nowhere. It was Jinks and he quickly cleared a pathway for the three, "Sorry I'm late but I had to block the way we came when other monsters started to try to get through there."

"Thanks," Jill said as she jumps high using her spring-heels making it to the stairs going up to the building.

"I'll hold them off," Jinks said as he was mob by the Legions as they dog-piled on him. They were quickly thrown off as Jinks displayed fighting skills and power that one wouldn't expect from someone of Jinks sizes.

"Will he be okay?" Phantasm asks as Ion grabs him as she flew with her disk over the Legions.

"Don't worry he was made by Mind so he's built to last," Ion said as Jinks in the foreground threw the dog monsters left and right unleashing energy blast ripping them apart even as more of them came forth of seeming endless waves out of nowhere.

In the streets of downtown –

A full-scale battle was taking place. As cops, fighters, demon hunters and magic users fought with the monsters that had taken the area earlier in the day. They were all spread out defending the places where they had bedded down holding them with everything they have. The train cars with guns that still work became the only safe houses for the wounded as the monsters came in seeming endless waves.

"So was it like this the last time this happen?" Mrs. Kotobuki asks her husband as she fired at an Inflamer bringing it down with a couple of head shots.

"Pretty much," Mr. Kotobuki shouted as he and his wife stood on the high-ground as they fired down upon the monsters that littered the streets.

On the streets the fighters fought harder and faster then they ever did in any of the fights they had in any of the tournaments they have taken part in. As they weren't fighting against one opponent but an army of monsters that only wanted to kill. Chun Li and Ryu made a circle of dead monsters as they fought them off. Ryu fired one of his energy attacks after another taking down great number of the monsters down. Chun Li using both her gun and fighting skills to take down anything that got in her way.

"Infecters coming our way," Ryu shouted to her as they had learn the hard way when one of the fighters killed a pack of them with an energyball but was kill when the clouds of toxic gas got to him.

"Fireball!" Chun Li shouted her attack as the only way to keep the gas from being release was by using fire on the Infecters. The blast took them out but leaping over the burning monsters were some Beheaders.

"Bloody Rain!"

A great number of red knives fell upon the Beheaders slicing them into bits as they were hit. Doctor Jackal appeared from the mist of the fighting going on around him smiling. He was enjoying himself as he could kill any number of these monsters with each one with their own skills and needed ways to be able to kill them without being kill in turn. Akabane held his palm up and a red cross shaped symbol appeared on it as he turns to the incoming horde of Legions running towards him from an alleyway.

"Bloody Cross!"

The symbol cut through the monsters like wet paper leaving bits and pieces in its wake as the Legions ran straight into the attack.

"I haven't have fun like this in a long time," Akabane said as he has already kill a great number of the monsters as well as saving a great deal of the people fighting against them. Since he was ask to save as many people as he could while on this job.

"Well I'm glade someone is enjoying themselves," Ran shouted as she fired at a Trigger-Happy that appeared on one of the roof tops firing down not caring if it hit friend or foe. The Trigger-Happy jerked about before it fell over dead as Ran hit it with his rail-gun, "These guys don't know when to quit."

"What a fight!" a young woman shouted as she threw a rolled up newspaper into the pipe of an Inflamer as it was about to firer. The newspaper jams the pipe making the monster blow up in flames as its flames had nowhere else to go.

Ran look her over as she a young Japanese girl and she was wearing a black vest over her white T-shirt and blue bicycle pants that ended around her knees. Around her neck was a cord connected to a rather expensive camera. A pair of sunglasses was pinned on her head and resting on her raven black hair, which was tied in a ponytail and extended to the bottom portion of her neck. She had on a pair of black gloves which matched her red socks and black sneakers.

"You know you could help more if you weren't taking pictures! In the middle of a battle! You know!" Ran shouted at the older teenager as she blasted a Trigger-Happy that was taking aim at her.

"Yeah, yeah," the teenager who's also name Ran said, "But I need to get snap shots for my school newspaper." The other Ran shook her head she went back to blasting the monsters back to where they came from.

The street cave in bring one of the train cars falling into the sewer. Several of the cops and fighter went along with the ride. They were quickly attacked by the Burrowers that had dug the pit. Some of the people climb on top of the train car as they fought off the Burrowers as they attack with digging tools.

"We need to get out of here," Lt. Wen shouted as her group were the ones that had fallen into this death trap. She blocks the axe-pick aim at her with her M4 and shoved the attacking Burrower into his friends. She turns her gun onto the down monsters riddling then with bullets.

"Need a hand?" Yohko shouted as she and her group of four jumps into the fray clearing a path for the people in the pit to get to the train car to climb out.

"Thanks," Lt. Wen said as she started helping others climb back on top of the street while the four demon hunters fight off the Burrowers.

Back at the Water Treatment Plant –

A huge pale skin Tyrant crashed through one of the wall as Ion and the others were running up the stairs. They had made it inside the building and were taking the stairs to the top of the catwalks when this guy showed up. It had claws that extended almost the length of its arms, the talons curved and shining like steel knives, longer on the right hand than on the left. The thick ropes of its veins were visible through its skin; masses of red and white tissue humped over its huge shoulders, across its massive chest. Clusters of blood-red sores were liberally scattered over its three-meter tall body, and much of its lower face had been ripped away, revealing a bleeding, flesh-and-bone grin. The only thing it wore was a pair of tatter remains of blue-jeans. They didn't know whether to be scare or sick at the sight of Overkill as it was once human.

"Why can't we ever fight something small?" Jill said as she stared up at the huge monster. (7)

"I handle this one," Phantasm said as he jumps at Overkill phasing, himself and the Tyrant down through the floor. One of the camera pods that have been following them all of this time went along for the ride as it touch the two before they fell through the floor.

"Phantasm!" Ion shouted out as she saw the two fall and phase through the ground.

"Don't worry he'll be okay," Jill said as she slaps her hand on Ions shoulder as she grab onto her hand pulling her along up the stairs.

Phantasm and Overkill kill fell through the ground till they reach the subbasement. The Tyrant twisted around in midair throwing Phantasm off of him as he landed onto some large pipes that are strong enough to hold up his massive weight. Overkill spotted the young boy dress as a skeleton standing on the same pipe as it was on.

Barely aware that he'd raised his MP9 Submachine Gun, Phantasm fired.

The AP rounds peppered its chest with black, sudden ribbons of blood sliding down its body, and it threw back its huge, bald head and screamed, a sound like Armageddon, like the end of everything. There was more rage, more fury than pain, and Phantasm suddenly understood that he wasn't going to survive very much longer.

With a single, graceful leap, the monster sprang from its spot landing four feet from Phantasm. He could feel the pipes tremble as the massive weight of the monster landed on top of them. Its steel talons raked against the thick copper pipes as it drew itself up, its gray, malignant gaze fixing on him. He backed away, firing the machine gun, his entire body shaking as he tried to find its weak spot on its massive body.

Overkill took another step. 'At least it's slow,' Phantasm thought to himself.

And suddenly it was running, fast, a blur as it dropped one arm, sweeping it up, the long blades of its hands close enough for him to see a reflection of his own movement as he drove out of the way. He did a shoulder roll, clutching the submachine gun to his chest, coming to his feet even as Overkill finished its strange, sweeping run.

'There must be a better way,' Phantasm clump his jaws shut as he tried to think of a way to beat this monster.

Overkill turn around to see the boy point his gun down at the pipes hold them up in the air. Overkill might not be smart but it quickly realized what the boy was going to do. The AP bullets rip through the copper pipes even as he leaps at the boy to try to stop him from doing what he was thinking of doing. The boy jump back as Overkill landed the now weaken, pipes broke under its weight sending both of them falling down to the ground hidden from view by the dark shadows of the abyss.

Up on the roof –

Tamer summon another wave of flying paper monsters to attack the murdered (8) of Ravens that filled the sky. Her ability to create monsters out of paper have been enhance by her costume letting her to control more than just one paper creation at a time. Her monsters cut through the ravens tearing off their wings or heads even as the other birds peck at them tearing up their paper bodies. The flocks of ravens seem endless as they darken the evening sky with their dark wings. Tamer has been holding off the ravens with the help of Writer as the others handled the two monsters that help cause this mess. She swung her massive sword taking down dozens of ravens with every swing as there were so many flying around, that she couldn't miss even if she had tried.

"Flame Shield!" Writer shouted as she created a flaming shield of fire around her that expanded lighting up the ravens as they flew into the wall of flames. The flaming birds flew in blind panic as they flew into other ravens catching them on fire. The dark sky was soon filled with flying flaming birds.

"Writer you may want to use another spell besides fire spells," Tamer pointed out as the flaming birds were as dangers to them as to the other ravens.

"Okay how about this!" Writer shouted as she raised her staff high into the air, "Lightning Storm Vortex!" Lightning bolts filled the sky taking down the flock of ravens as they were fried in mid-flight. Dead smoking birds fell onto the payment smelling like roasted chickens. "That should handle them."

"There's more coming," Tamer said flatly as more flocks of ravens drive down at them.

"Snake-Tail how's your end coming?" Writer shouted over to her as she cast more lightning spells at the ravens.

"He's not making it easy," Snake-Tail said as she twisted around firing snake arrows at Poe as he flew around darting in and out swing that sword cane of his.

Tamer and Writer held off the ravens so Snake-Tail could fight Poe without being attack by the ravens that he controls. Poe's ravens surrounded him shielding him from the snake arrows as he fly's around. He would swoop down with his ravens in perfect formation his sword with swing out of the mass of ravens as he flew past Snake-Tail. Other times he would send a couple of ravens to attack her so that he could attack her while she was warding off the attacking birds.

"You're going to have to do better then that to beat me," Poe said as one of his ravens took a snake arrow as she fired another one at him.

'He's right I can't keep this up,' Snake-Tail thought to herself, 'Looks like I'm going to have to use it.' She pressed a button on the side of her helmet making the visor that hid her eyes from view start to glow. A red beam shot out from her visor hitting Poe and his ravens.

Poe shielded his eyes at the very last moment as the strange red beam hit him. Looking around he saw his ravens with him all of them became like statues falling onto the roof. He shot a look at Snake-Tail.

"Well I don't just have a snake for nothing you know," she said as she knotted two snakes in her bow and fire. She's glad that Mind had outfitted her helmet with the power to paralyze anything that is caught in its eye beams.

"Aargg" Poe shouted as the two snake arrows bite down on him wrapping themselves around him. They were soon joined by more as Snake-Tail fired more at him at an amazing speed.

"Tamer I need a big one over here!" Snake-Tail shouted as she tied a paper rope onto one of the AC units as she tie the other end to her snake arrow. Tamer got the idea as she summons a big ape like monster. Snake-Tail nodded as she fired her arrow at Poe was trying to keep afloat while shaking off the snakes that are covering him. She fired her snake arrow hitting him around his waist the snake quickly wrapping itself around him, before Poe could cut the rope off with his sword the monster that Tamer summon tore the AC unit off and threw it over the side of the building.

Poe was jerked in the air causing him to drop his sword when the sudden weight hit him. He flaps his wings as he tried to fly with the AC unit heavy weight pulling him down. It look like he was strong enough to fly with the weight but Snake-Tail decided that for him as she fired a snake arrow right at his raven head. He fell out of the air falling into one of the open water filters, the AC pull him under, he gave out a scream half of a ravens half human before he was pulled under the murky water.

"There goes those ravens," Writer said as she watch the flocks of those black birds flying away as with their master dead they turn and flew off.

"Where's 9-Tail?" Tamer asks as they had lost sight of him and Toguro as they were too busy with Poe to keep an eye on him.

"There they are!" Snake-Tail pointed down the side of the building. Both of them had fought their way down the sides of the building and now were fighting on top of the sun roofs of the parking lot.

"You got to do better than that fox boy," Toguro grin as he turn his arms into whip like blades.

Nine-Tails whipped his rose whip at Toguro trying to handle him as he did before but it looks like he had learn from their last encounter. He hadn't been able to land a hit on the shape shifter since the beginning of their battle. It looks like Toguro wasn't taking any chances of being hit by the Janen Ju tree seed again.

'Need a way to keep him from shifting form,' 9-Tail thought to himself as Toguro just change his body shape whenever he tries to hit him. He noticed that the ravens were all gone from the sky.

Toguro shifted form as the rose whip lashes out at him again and again each time missing him, "Got you know!" Toguro shouted as he stomped his left foot through the thin tin sun roof his foot elongated into a spike jutting out from under the fox. He strikes at him again and again with his spike foot all the while trying to hit him with his blade arms. He knew that it was only a matter of time…

"Freeze Arrow!"

Toguro let out a scream but was quickly cut off as he became incase in ice. 9-Tail smile as his plan had work. When he was trying to hit Toguro earlier he was also hitting the payment of the parking lot spelling out the word ice. Writer who had spotted the words quickly cast an ice spell when she saw an opening.

"This time I won't let you heal or put yourself back together again," 9-Tail said coldly as he lashes out with his whip cutting Toguro into pieces as his body move like water it had also froze and shattered like frozen water as well. "Now to make sure no one tries to put you back together again. Fox Fire!" 9-Tail thrust his arm out and the pieces of Toguro burn to ashes as the flames of the fire ate away at the monster. He watched the fire until he was sure that there was nothing left in the burning pile that something could be brought back to life.

Down below the treatment plant –

Tech-Knight threw the spent heavy machine gun at the bloated mountain monster that been repeatedly try to smash him into the ground. He called forth his spirit sword and swung it at the massive hands of the Cthulhu as it tried to grab him causing the monster to reel back its arms. "Guys how do we stop this thing?"

"Wrap you're the one who knows about him so what is his weakness?" Spectrum shouted over to her as she ran behind a pillar taking pop shots at the walking mountain of blubbery flesh. It was like hitting poking jelly as the bullets hit but were stop before they penetrate deep enough to cause any real kind of damage.

"The way it was killed in the book is that a ship ram into it," Wrap shouted as she attack the Cthulhu with her wrappings that acted like razor wire. His flesh was too thick and dense for any of them to do any real damage to it as it howled and chase after them.

"So where in the world are we going to find a boat?" Spectrum said as she fired at the creatures face making it stumble as it ran. The ground shook as the massive weight hit the ground all at once. The pillar she hid behind rattled as it look as if a good earthquake would cause the entire room to cave in, "That's it. Tech-Knight cut the pillars all of them!"

"Do what?" Tech-Knight shouted back at her as Cthulhu got onto its feet again.

"Just do it!" Wrap shouted at him as she realized what her friend is planning to do.

"Alright have it your way," Tech-Knight said as he began cutting through the pillars that held up the ceiling with his energy sword.

Cthulhu howl as he chase after the armor knight with the glowing sword he hadn't eaten since he munched on the workers that were inside the plant. The two women that are with the knight attack him but their attacks couldn't hurt him as his skin is just too thick and rubbery. He learn that he should only go after one of them at a time as each time he chase after one of them, one of the others would attack him making him go after whoever attack him instead. The knight continued to cut the pillars as he chase after him going around in a circle in the room. The woman with the guns fired at his face again as the one cover in bandages wrap several of them around his legs tripping him. He fell on his face causing the entire room to shake again. This time however the shaking didn't stop as the room started to fall apart. Large chunks of rubble came falling down from the ceiling Cthulhu scream as he was buried underneath the falling pieces of cerement and metal, burying the horror underneath tons of rubble. The last thing it saw was a large piece of rubble falling down upon its head.

In another part of the plant –

Junkyard was thrown backwards as Shelley punch him with a powered up high voltage punch. She quickly grab his legs and swung him around going faster and faster before letting go throwing him into one of the heavy generators that lined the building they're fighting inside of. He jumps to his feet swinging his chain-ball at Shelley, but his attack was deflected when his metal ball hit her electric shield of hers. He fired his cannons at her again but they were deflected again from her once more.

'I can't hit her as long as that shield is up,' Junkyard thought to himself as the best he could do was to slow her down with his weapons.

"This is getting tiresome," Shelley said as she walked towards him as he fires away at her with his weapons. She held out her hand sending thousands of volts at him. Junkyard with his claw arm rips a chunk of metal from one of the generators throwing it in front of him blocking the volt from hitting him, "Nice but you do know that it's only a matter of time before I beat you."

"Well I have other plans!" Junkyard said than rush forward kicking the chunk of metal that he had ripped out sending it flying at her.

She punch the metal chunk out of the way in time to see Junkyard striking at her with that metal claw of his. His claw clumped tight on her left arm as she had raised it to block his strike. Junkyard than use his heavier weight as he started using her a wreaking ball smashing her into the generators as she zaps him with hundreds of volts.

'Now to see who can take it more,' Junkyard thought to himself as he continued to swing her around his suit has a rubber lining as since his first encounter with Ion he made sure he could take on a electric powered foe.

Metalgear suddenly came crashing through a wall landing halfway across the room. Fin leap like a frog out of the hole, landing on top of him and started clawing at him. His armor looks as if the pounding continue any longer than Fin would be able to help himself with the soft body underneath the metal shell.

"Hey over here fish face!"

Fin turn around to Junkyard but his view was block as he threw Shelley at him. She slams into him with the force of a 16-wheeler sending both of them flying to the entrants of the building crashing into the metal door. Before they could regain their bearings Metalgear and Junkyard blasted them with fully charge shots from their blasters. The combine energy shots blasted sent Fin and Shelley flying out of the building they crash through the guard railings of the water tanks falling into the water together. Volts of electricity flew out of the water as Shelley's electric powered cyber suit made contact with the water, she and Fin scream as they sank in the electric charge water.

"That handles them," Metalgear said as he caught his breathe.

"And here comes their friends," Junkyard said as the monsters that were lock outside began pouring into the building, "Lock and load!" He and Metalgear began firing at the incoming monsters as the monsters ran screaming at them.

Deep underground –

Clutching onto the grappling hook that he had thrown at the floating camera pod Phantasm floated down. Mind hadn't design the pods to hold much weight but someone of his sizes was just light enough that the pod could stay in the air even if it was being pulled down by his weight the hover engines are strong enough to keep it up in the air. The underground caves underneath the city served as a natural reservoir of the city above. Catwalks went across the dark pools of water as workers now and then check up on the pumps that took the water above.

Landing onto a catwalk he looks around for any signs of Overkill who fell ahead of him. All he saw was a destroyed catwalk where he must had landed on. The silent of the cavern was halted as a great splash erupted from behind him. The huge monster Overkill looking a bit worse for wear lunged out of the water pulling itself onto the catwalk. When the creature saw them and let out a terrible scream, a deep, mind ripping sound of hatred, of lush not just to kill, but to rend and mutilate.

Phantasm turns and ran as if a drop from a fifty-foot drop had barely fazed, it he needed a plan to kill this monster. Behind him, two, three massive, ringing steps sounded against the protesting metal. He turn and fired hitting Overkill near his heart, blood began pouring down his massive chest. Seeing that his weapon wasn't stopping him, Phantasm pulls out a hand-grenade dropping it as he ran. Overkill step over it as the grenade exploded destroying the catwalk underneath him.

Phantasm turn around seeing Overkill clinging to the side of the destroyed catwalk its lower body half in the water the stumps where its feet use to be turn the water red. Lifting his gun he aimed for its head having a clear shot at last, fixing on its fish-white skull as it floundered and clawed to pull itself closer, undoubtedly to continue its attack. It only managed to slide itself partway into the water, the dark pool churning with pink foam as it struggled to get out. As terrible as the thing was, he wouldn't feel right about letting it bleed to death, to suffer any more. It was human once a man or a woman no one could tell anymore, it never asks to be born like it is now.

Two point blank rounds, the second just to be sure, and the massive body slipped soundlessly into the pool of water, disappearing beneath its dark murky surface.

Up above –

"So your finally made it here," Jack-O said as he turn to the two heroes as they reach the upper level, "Too late Vean has enhance the virus once it goes into the water supply nothing short of dumping it all into the ocean would thin it enough so it won't effect any living or dead life forms anymore. Or one of the other governments goes and nukes this entire city first would do the job whatever comes first."

"Either way we win," Vean said as she playfully toyed with a test tube fill with something purple. She handed the tube to Jack-O who smiled looking at the tube while keeping an eye at the two heroes. They all stood on a platform overlooking the clean water tanks for the city.

"Not unless we stop you guys first!" Ion shouted as she hops onto her disk.

"Yeah don't count us out yet," Spring-Heel Jill added as she forms a spike out of some roll up playing cards.

"Bring it girl," Vean said as she use her vampire speed to appear in front of Jill her glove fingers have metal nails at their ends and lash out at the young girl.

Jill forms a paper shield blocking the nails as Vean claw at her. She swung her sword but Vean sped away from her strike range. The two broke away from Ion and Jack-O as Vean use her speed, while Jill used her jumping as they fought with each other. Jumping up on the wall Jill threw a fury of cards at Vean but to her surprise her hands blurred as she caught every one of the cards that were thrown at her.

"Sorry but unlike Neclord I know how to fight!" Vean smiled at her opponent. She had live in the streets for a while before getting a job at the tower so she had learned how to fight the hard way.

"Well you are not going to take me out without a fight!" Jill said as she threw a bundle of cards into the air. The cards started fluttering down but then they stop in mid-air and flew downwards like hard rain. Vean jump backwards darting around at speeds that the human eye wouldn't be able to follow.

"So Jack-O how did you survive the fire?" Ion said glaring at he pumpkin headed monster, "If stuffing that power cord down into your mouth didn't kill you how did you live through being burn alive?"

"I'm part plant you know. While like some kinds of plants I can survive being engulf in flames and manage to crawl out before the fire destroyed me. And like some kinds of plants I had enough inside my burnt husk to be regrown with the help of Vean magic." Jack-O smiled with his jack-o-lantern smile.

"Well I'm going to stop you this time!" Ion said, "I'm much better then I was when we first met."

"So have I," Jack-O said as he made two pumpkins appear in his hands again.

He threw them as Ion shot a blast of lightning at him. The two attacks made contract making a great explosion between them. Out from the smoke Jack-O's arms extended like vines grabbing Ion's shoulders lifting her up. He took in a deep breathe and spitted out a cloud of acid at the struggling hero. Ion grab onto the arms zapping them with hundreds of volts making Jack-O let go of her as the cloud of acid pass overhead. As he rewines his arms he's zap by the Ion channeling her lightning through her cane. He strikes back by breathing out clouds of acid surrounding himself with his attack. Ion continued to fire one bolt after another into the acid cloud that she couldn't get near to. Her suit would give her some protection but it was never design to take that much acid that the cloud was made up of.

Out of the acid cloud Jack-O sprang upwards throwing two pumpkin bombs at her. Ion jump backwards as the bombs blew up as they hit throwing her through the air. Flipping through the air she landed on her feet she forms a ball of lightning between her hands and threw it at Jack-O who was thrown back by the charge up blast. Bits of pieces flew off of him but the wounds were quickly healed up.

"As I said I'm much better than I was before," Jack-O said as he threw some more bombs at her.

Vean flew at Jill as she jumps straight up into the air. Jill covered herself in a card shield as Vean started using her magic skills on her. From what Jill is seeing Vean may not be on the same level as Neclord was in magic skills but she was still just as deadly. The fireball that she cast quickly burnt the cards to ashes as Jill jumps away from the burning shield. Vean bit on her finger drawing blood, the blood turn into a red whip that she used to strike at Jill. The whip slice threw anything that it touches that Jill quickly found out as she saw that her cards get slice in two when she threw them at the red blood whip.

The two battles that are taking place in the room halted as the floor of the build burst open as Demonicon and Torment came through it. Torment grabs onto Demonicon arms then began slamming him into the tanks leaving huge dents on them before body slamming the half demon into the ground creating a crater as he slams into the concert floor. Lifting him up into the air by one of his shoulders Torment threw the half demon into a wall embedding him in it then pulls him out to throw him again as he has dominated the fight since the start. Demonicon on the other hand had never faced someone that fought so fast and wild before. Torment didn't seem to know or use any kind of fighting art that he knew of, just been using raw fighting skills. He fought with such ferocity and speed that Demonicon couldn't even fight back as he was doing everything that he could just to defend himself from Torment.

"Demonicon!" Jill shouted but was cut short as Vean kick her into a wall.

"Got you now girl!" Vean said as she flew at her with her right arm drawn back for a head strike.

Jill saw her coming and waited for the last second and duck down. Vean eyes widen as she saw a spike made of cards jutting out of the wall where Jill's head was. Jill had move a deck of cards behind her when she hit the wall and waited for Vean to get into range to launch her attack. Vean jerk as the spike went through her chest she jerk a bit before she slump still impaled on the spike made out of cards.

"Jill need some help here," Ion shouted over to her as she duck under the flying fist of Jack-O while dodging his acid breathe.

"On it!" Jill shouted as she threw a card at him cutting Jack-O's hand off as he held a pumpkin bomb.

"Why you!" Jack-O shouted as he spat out an acid cloud at her. His handless arm regrew a new hand.

"Hey cut him open!" Ion shouted as she poured on the voltage on him as she flew by Jack-O striking him in his face with her cane as she did.

Jill made a spinning disk with her cards and threw it at Jack-O while he was distracted. The disk slice through his body slanted on the left side the top half parted a bit like it was going to snap in half but his body began to pull itself back together.

"You're going to have to do better then that," Jack-O said as he pulls himself back together.

"You mean like this!" Ion shouted as she threw the unused pumpkin bomb into the gapping hole in his body as it healed up on itself.

Once whole again Jack-O patted his body where he could feel the bomb is at inside his body. He looks up to see Ion aiming her powered up cane at him muttering, "No fair."

Ion fired her lightning blast ignited the bomb exploding blowing Jack-O into little pieces. His head bounce then rolled on the floor resting near the body of Vean. The test tube flew from the explosion unharmed from the blast. Ion and Jill eyes lock onto the flying tube as it flew towards a nearby wall. The tube filled with the deadly virus never made it to the wall as Torment caught the tube before it hit.

"Unhand it!" Demonicon shouted as he flew at Torment.

Torment took one look at the person that he has been fighting all of this time and knocks him away like a fly with one kick to the face. Demonicon twisted around in the air before he landed like a rag doll.

"Now to finish this," Torment said as he began to open the tube.

"What are you doing!" Ion shouted as she and Jill attack shooting bolts and throwing cards at him.

Torment wave his free hand blocking the cards and block the bolt of lightning with an open palm, "Getting rid of you Japanese for one."

"Jack-O and Vean are dead every one of you spirits are now free from their control now. There's no more any reason to fight anymore," Jill shouted out to her.

"You spirits are now free to go back to your rest," Ion added.

"And what makes you think that we were being controlled in the first place?" Torment asks.

"What you mean that all of you wanted to become monsters?" Ion said shock at what she heard.

"Monsters you call use monsters after what you Japanese scum did to all of us?"

"Hey I'm not Japanese!" Jill shouted, "And what are you talking about?"

"So your not one of these Eastern Demons than but it hardly matters you are trying to save them which makes you our enemies," Torment said, "This small island nation will soon be engulf in atomic fire as the nations of the world destroy Japan to be sure that the virus won't spread to the rest of the world."

"Why you hate us Japanese so much you would unleash this horror?" Ion shouted her hand close in tight fists.

"You're saying that turning you people into living dead horrible? Don't make me laugh what I'm doing is much kinder then what your people did to us." Torment said as his eyes became cold, "For you see we're all victims of you Japanese monsters during what you call the Pacific War better known as World War II."

Everyone watching the action from their TVs eyes widen as they heard this. Ion started to grasp why all of the monsters were base on death.

"Yes that's right all of the so called monsters are in fact the people that your people Ion kill during the war. The Burrowers are the ones that were work to death in mines, the Trigger-Happy's were shot while tied up and couldn't get away, Inflamers were burn alive, Beheaders were the ones where soldiers use to show their sword skills on helpless people who couldn't fight back, Ravenous are the ones they were left to starve to death, Infecters died from medical experiments some of the doctors that did kill hundreds are now valued people in Japan, Frost-skates were people who were drown or frozen to death, and the Legions where were the Japanese people had their wrath on down airmen. As for me I'm the combination of all of the thousands of people that were torture to death for the fun of it. All of their combine hated for you Japanese fill me to the core. I can still remember my own death as the Japanese soldiers had their fun tormenting me for days before burning me alive. I suffered in ways that you can't ever imagine I earn this revenge, we all earn this revenge on you people."

"But that's?" Ion started to say but couldn't find the words as she and Jill took it all in.

"Wrong that I shouldn't go to your peoples level?" Torment asks, "Those are words for people like yours who lost the war but never wanted the blame on themselves. There are so many people that are still alive that done things that would bring untold shame on any other family. But in Japan things are different as many use their connections to get out of the punishment that they earn during the war. The only, the only reason why the US were so lenient on you Japanese was because they didn't want Communist to spread in Japan. If the Russians had taken this sin fill island Japan wouldn't have become this! One of the riches nation's in the world right now. The American only reason to take it easy on you people was the fear that Communist would take root here that was the only reason the only reason that so many people guilty of war crimes took no punishment for their crimes. You being a child wouldn't know what your older generation did as they pretend that everything that they did in the war never happen hiding the truth from the younger generations so they won't look down at them in shame. So tell me did you learn what your people did in the lands that took control of? How they kill people for fun, locking them in their homes to burn them alive," Torment rips the bandages off of his face reveling that he's a young woman in her late teens, "How I was gang rape day and night before they toss me into the burners when I was totally use up!"

Both Ion and Jill stare at the young woman her dark hair fell on her shoulders her skin was a darker tone telling them she was from the southern islands far south of Japan. They stare at her face it was a hard beauty that mask a deep pain that would never be lifted from her soul. It was her eyes that froze them as they were filled with such pain and hatred in their dark pools. She held out the tube to drop it into the water but was blasted through the side of the building, the tube unopened flew in the air and caught by Demonicon who had blasted her.

"I have to agree with what she said," Demonicon said turning to Ion and Jill, "Humans can be much worse then us demons. But there's still some hope as long as there people like you two around."

"What do we do with that?" Jill said as Ion was still in shock at what she learn about her own people.

"I take that if you don't mind."

Turning they saw Dark Hat standing behind them. "Oh Dark Hat you're here," Jill said as she and her group had already met Dark as they live with Dr. Jones.

"Yes I'm here to make sure that virus is destroyed without any samples leaking out," Dark Hat said as he walks up to Demonicon, "The Japanese government finally agreed on what I ask for to make sure that the virus isn't release."

"Okay," Demonicon said as he handed the tube over to him, "So how are you going to get rid of it?" Demonicon jumps back as Dark's hand holding the tube is engulfed in black fire. The fire burn quickly then was gone as quickly as it came leaven just Dark's open hand, "Oh that's how."

"Yes something like this virus can not ever be entrusted in the hands of any government," Dark stated.

"What about the monsters in the city?" Jill asks as it would take weeks to clean up the monsters crawling around.

Dark held out a duel card, "This card should do the trick 'Spell Purification' will dispell the magic that's holding the spirits to their new bodies." A bright light started glowing from the card then a dome of light expanded outwards. When the ever expanding dome of light touches one of the monsters they just fell apart disappearing in thin air. The people fighting in the street suddenly found that the monsters all started falling apart as the strange light hit them. The dome didn't stop till it engulfed the entire city in its light.

Dark walk past Demonicon and Jill until he stood in front of Ion, "The truth of the past the one that's been hidden away from the ones that live through it is always hard when it's found out. You're asking yourself if you should even be protecting this city. After what your people have done in the past what could you ever do to make up for it. Don't live in the past for those who do will always redo the mistakes of the past they're trying to relive. Stand up don't let the sins of the old generation to make something for the future, even if you need to tear down the old order to do so to make a better one then the one that they made for the younger ones." Ion look upwards at him, "Yes I know it sounds harsh but sometimes to be good you have to be evil and to be evil you sometimes have to be good. In the end right and wrong are just words. Many people say that I'm evil for what I do. I don't deny that I'm not evil for what I do. Killing people for money is what I do for those who can't stop the people that I kill. If you have kept up with the news of those old people that have been killed in Japan for the past few months have been my doing. The ones that hired me are the survivors of the peoples that they massacred during the war. In the families eyes of those who I killed I'm evil and from the ones that hired me to kill I'm a hero. I know that I'm not a hero but I'm not a villain either. It's all in the point of view that makes someone good or evil. Your peoples past is surrounded by shadows that hides the dark sins of the past it's up to you young people that will decide whether to hide the sins in the shadows as the ones that did them or bring them into the light. Just remember that it's what you do that matters, right or wrong it's what you do that will define who you are. It's not over yet."

Ion stood up onto her feet smiling a sad but hopeful smile, "You're right I may come from a people with a dark past but I won't let that stop me from being who I am now."

"There's a deep hatred that flows in the veins of the people that fell under the Japanese army one that been burning all of this time. Torment is still alive, Demonicon's attack weren't strong enough to kill her. When Vean created her body she used thousands of women who met ends like Torment to create that body of hers. She physically feeds off the hatred that many still hold deep inside for your people. As long as there are people that hold onto that hatred this won't be the last that you will see of her."

"Great now there's an insanely powerful villain out there now I knew I shouldn't had held back when I blasted her," Demonicon said.

"If you did that then the virus tube would have shattered and be unleashed if you did," Dark pointed out, "Then as in my contract I would have to contain the spread by destroying this entire city."

Jill slide up to Demonicon talking into his ear, "He would you know."

Ion then notice something, "Hey where's Vean?" As she had disappeared from where she was impale at. Looking down she saw Jack-O's head missing as well. All over the Water Treatment Plant bodies of the fallen were turning up missing. Where Poe had drowned in all Snake-Tail found was the AC unit and pieces of paper floating on the surface. The water tank where Shelley and Fin had fallen into had a gapping hole in its base and a hole in the outer wall going into the street was all that they left behind.

"As I said it's not over yet," Dark said as he disappeared into the shadows.

Far from Shibuya –

In a large cargo tanker sailing out into the ocean, a meeting was taking place. "Sir the plan has failed, the virus couldn't be spread through the city as plan."

"How about the backup plan?" the man in the view screen asks.

"All of the bugs have been planted in all of the major computer systems in Japan just as you ask sir," the speaker reviling to be Jack-O bodiless head said as he was held up by Vean arms. In the background Poe, Fin, Shelley, and Torment stood behind the pair.

"Good and how's the boat trip going?"

"Going well and all of the Resident Evil base monsters are inside the holds. When Dark Hat showed up it was time to find a new place for us to crash. The Golden State where the sun always shines I hear is a nice place to live."

"So when will we destroy those Japanese?" Torment said as she was so close in destroying them. She should have finished that half demon when she had the chance.

"In do time, in do time. The pieces are all falling into place now. The equipment that's needed still needs to be gathered first."

"Don't worry about that once we set up our base in the US we'll get the equipment from those Americans," Vean said, "With the war they're currently fighting we'll be able to get what you need sir."

"Your plan to have all of the world's attention on Japan with the spirits of the war victims coming back to seek their revenge will let us take what we need without popping up on the news as I'm sure this scandal be on the front pages for months to come," Poe said to their boss.

"Yes everything is going just as plan." His single eye that showed under his mask glowed red as he fill in his people in Ranma's home world of the next phase of his plans are. (9)

In another world –

"So what did those guards see?" Batou asks his partner. He's a large built man, his most striking feature is his cybernetic eyes but a large part of his body is made of cyborg components.

"Same as the last time a large dinosaur like cyborg rip open the vault and took the artifact that was store inside," Motoko a purple haired woman said as she enter the car, "First it was a group of people dress in outdated armor attacking that temple sealing scrolls, then that woman who somehow made everyone in the museum fall asleep and overloaded all of the computer systems with some kind of high voltage weapon, taking those artifacts that were use in rituals. Now a dino taking off with the statue of a dragon from this restaurant and before that a stone orb from that privet collector."

"Yeah nothing is adding up there were more valuable stuff that they could have taken but the only things that were taking are a bunch of useless artifacts," Batou said.

"The only thing they have in common is that they are said to have magical powers," Motoko said.

"Magic yeah right," Batou laugh.

"Yes but some of those artifacts are national treasures that were stolen," Motoko pointed out, "And the new Prime Minister wants to get them back since it would look bad for her to have national treasures stolen after she was elected just two months ago."

"Yeah we of Section 9 have to get them back since the old man has a soft spot for her," Batou said.

"Well it beats doing paperwork," Motoko said as they drove off. Peeking from the rain gutter a small figure with long claws watches as the metal carriage carrying those two people that have been poking around drove off. It hissed as it went back down into the sewers.

Yet in another world –

The weather was foggy as a tall woman walks down the street. She wore a long winter coat that reach to her ankles covering most of her body. He long white hair was made up into a high ponytail. She had wondered into this quite neighborhood as she had sense a power source of magic being release a day ago and been looking for the source for quite awhile now. She was on a tour of Europe when she had suddenly sensed the powerful wave of magic that had something to do with that house being destroyed. She was walking down a street called Privet Drive when she suddenly hears a baby crying somewhere.

She looks around looking for the source of the crying, "Now where is that coming from?"

Walking towards the crying she spotted a basket on a doorstep of one of the houses. Peering down into it she saw a baby boy about a year old crying into the cold night. Her eyes soften as she picks up the basket looking down into the small boys eyes calming him, "Hello there little one what's your name?" The boy giggled as he saw her warm face the woman than spotted the letter that was in the basket with him. Picking it up she open it and reads it.

"So you're being left alone now to live with your mother's sisters care huh little one," the women look over the child and saw great magic coming from inside of him and she saw the lightning shape scar on his forehead that held a dark power coming from it, "Well I may not be your aunt but I'm sure I do a good job with you. So want to come back with me to America?" The baby gave out a laugh as he held out his hands so that she could hold him, "Well I take that as a yes. Come along now little one to your new home."

The woman lifted the basket up and carried it with the small boy inside away down the street. The woman seemed to vanish in thin air as she disappeared in a flash of light. The people that live in the house would never know of the nephew that had almost come to live with them or that certain people all across Europe would be in an uproar over the lost of the child that was now across the pond.
