And we're back with the next chapter of Meta-Verse. And as promised, in this chapter, four other realities comes into the Meta-Verse reality, and one of them is another target for Wheatley. Let's do this, shall we?
Disclaimer: We don't own any characters appearing in this fic.
Abyss
If you think the Digimon reality is the only reality that has gotten themselves stuck in the Meta-Verse Department Agency, then you're wrong. There is much more to the story than just them.
On Earth-299, on an earth where a big gaping hole in the world resides, to which people calls it, the Abyss, we go into it's gaping mouth and descend to the very lower layer of the hole, where we focus on a group of Cave Raiders, going down there with only one goal in mind.
For Riko, her mission was to find her mother, and for her dear friend, Reg, it was to learn more about where he came from and just what he was. Nanachi, the rabbit-like Hallow, was there to assist. Along with Faputa, a wild child, and their little animal friend, Meinya, their goal was the lowest level of the abyss.
For now, they were stopping to rest and to fill their empty bellies. Riko had made a stew out of a wild abyss creature that Reg had managed to kill, and despite the food looking rather unappetizing, it was actually delicious.
"For looking so gross, this stuff is pretty good," Nanachi said.
Faputa was ravenously eating the food, and Meinya simply lapped it up. Reg smiled at Riko and did his best to hold his bowl with his leg. Having only one arm now made even the most simple of tasks much more difficult.
"I'm glad you like it," Riko said with a wide smile.
"We should probably eat up as much as we can," Reg said. "Who knows when our next chance to stop and rest like this will come."
Once they were finished eating and all the cooking items put away, they set off on their journey once again, going deeper and deeper into the abyss, knowing full well that there was no turning back, or else the curse of the abyss would get them.
They walked on for a while. But then, a flash from the ground started to light up behind them and it made a sound, but it disappeared very quickly.
"Did any of you see that?" Riko said, spinning around but losing sight of whatever that flash was.
"I saw the flash but that was it," Reg said.
"We might want to keep moving," Nanachi said. "Who knows what might come after us."
Faputa sniffed the air but didn't smell anything out of the ordinary.
"Let's keep moving then," Riko said as she took the lead. They continued further into the abyss. It was hard, tiring work, but the team persisted anyway.
But, unfortunately, a flash did light up the ground from under them, and it is staying there, permanently.
Reg stared curiously at the light. "Riko, do you know anything about this?"
"I've never read about anything like this happening in the abyss. Hurry, let's get out of here!"
The group ran to get out of the light. Their legs burned as they ran as fast as they could to try to escape this mysterious light.
But, unfortunately, the light followed them, and after a point, it opened something up on the ground. The light is revealed to be a portal, and it opens under the group.
The portal swallowed them up, and there was nothing that could be done to stop it. They found themselves falling, but to where, they had no idea. They screamed as they plummeted to, what they assumed, must be their grim demise.
The portal closes.
Alolan Region
On Earth-846, in a world where it is filled with the most amazing creatures known as Pokemon, we go to the Alolan Region, where we focus on a group of Pokemon trainers, training their Pokemon.
Ash Ketchum was facing off against Kiawe with his trusty Pikachu. Turtonator was their opponent, a fierce fire and dragon type, and Kiawe's loyal partner.
"Let's see if you can handle my z-move, Ash," Kiawe said as he performed a quick dance. Light erupted from Turtonator, engulfing him in a fiery aura. "Now, Inferno Overdrive!"
Turtonator unleashed a blast of fire at Pikachu, but Ash's eager grin never wavered. He did a quick dance as well and shouted, "Now Pikachu, use your z-move too. Gigavolt Havoc!"
Pikachu fired a blast of electricity at Turtonator. The two attacks collided into an explosion. Without waiting for the smoke to clear, Ash called out, "Now Pikachu, use Iron Tail!"
Pikachu dashed through the smokescreen and easily found the hulking Turtonator. He jumped up and swung his tail, now clad in metal, slashing at Turtonator's chest.
The rest of the trainers stood on the sidelines, watching the action unfold. Lillie looked nervously at the battle. She didn't like to see Pokemon get hurt, but both Pikachu and Turtonator were veterans of battle. They were used to the fierce competition.
"Who do you think is going to win?" Mallow asked. "My bets are on Turtonator."
"Pikachu's faced off against him plenty of times," Sophocles said. "He can handle the heat."
Lana wasn't really paying attention. She was too busy cheering both Pokemon on and encouraging them to give it their all. "You can do it, you two!" she shouted.
Pikachu was going in for another Thunderbolt, but Turtonator deflected it with a Flamethrower. The sparring match was going great, but both Pikachu and Turtonator were looking exhausted. Ash called out, "Pikachu, come back. We'll switch out."
"If you're going to switch Pokemon, then so will I," Kiawe said. He pulled out Turtonator's Pokeball and returned him. "Now, I'll go with Marowak!" He said as he threw a new Pokeball out.
Marowak appeared, and spun its fiery bone club around like a batton. Ash thought over his Pokemon and made his choice. "Let's go, Lycanroc!"
The orange wolf appeared from its Pokeball and let out a howl. The two trainers were just about to call out commands, when the most peculiar thing happened.
A flash appeared behind the people on the sidelines and made a sound, but it vanished quickly.
The battle came to a pause. Ash looked around but didn't see what had made that flash. "You guys see that?" he asked.
"See what?" Mallow asked as she turned around to see what Ash was pointing at.
"It was there just a second ago."
Kiawe nodded. "I saw it too. Something was there."
Then a flash came from under Marowak and Lycanroc and it stayed there, permanently like the last time with Riko's group.
"What's happening?" Ash shouted, but it was too late. The light opened up into a portal, and he and the rest of the trainers fell through, tumbling down into a new and mysterious world.
The portal closes.
Anima City
On Earth-333, in a world where half-human, half-animal roam the city, Anima City.
Michiru Kagemori and Shirou Ogami were in another case. Another citizen had been spotted having mutated into some deranged beast, and it was up to them to stop them. As they ran through the city, Michiru happened to spot her friend Nazuna Hiwatashi.
"Hey, Nazuna! What are you doing here?" Michiru asked as she ran up to her friend. "You need to get out of here."
"Why?" Nazuna said. "What's going on?"
"There's another citizen who's gone crazy and turned into some kind of beast, but we think he's coming this way. Can you help us evacuate this area?"
Nazuna nodded. Just as they were about to scramble, a bull-like creature appeared by breaking down a nearby house. The people of Anima City were scrambling to escape. Both Shirou and Michiru wished that they knew what was causing the people of Anima City to suddenly mutate into strange creatures, but they knew they needed to get to the bottom of it.
The streets were nearly cleared out now. It was time to go all out. Once everyone was gone, Shirou turned into his massive Silver Wolf form and charged the beast. He bit into its neck, blood gushing from the beast's wound.
Suddenly, a light erupted from under them. "What's going on?" Michiru asked. Shirou threw the beast and it rolled far from the light, now incapacitated. That beast was done for now, but now they had bigger problems.
"Michiru!" Shirou called out as he reverted back to his humanoid form. He found himself in the middle of the light, along with Michiru and Nazuna. Suddenly, a portal opened up beneath them and they were pulled out of their reality and into a totally new one. They screamed as they fell, not knowing just where they were falling too.
The portal closes.
Unknown World
On Earth-83, you may think it's Dune, but trust me, it ain't. After seeing that an evil puppet known as Lord Kuruku has nearly turned everyone into Living Puppets that is being built for his fortress, a unicorn and a young human girl, Unico and Cherry, seek help from the Sphinx.
What they found instead was a little lion child."I'm Marusu," the little lion said. "I'm the Sphinx's daughter."
"I'm Unico," the little unicorn said. "And this girl is my friend, Cherry. Is there any way you can help us?"
"My family and nearly everyone have been turned into Living Puppets," Cherry said.
The little Sphinx shook her head. "I'm sorry, but I don't know how I can help, really."
"Oh no!" Unico cried out. "Now what are we going to do?"
"We'll just have to find some other way," Cherry said.
From behind them, came a light. All three of them saw it, and they turned curiously to where the flash had been. "What do you think that was?" Unico asked.
"No clue, never seen something like that before," Marusu said.
Cherry took a step towards where the flash had come from, but suddenly, a light began to shine from beneath their feet. They gasped, startled, but things would only become stranger, as the earth below them suddenly opened up and a portal formed. They fell through the portal, grabbing one another's hands, hoping that whatever happened next wouldn't be the end for them.
"What is happening?" Cherry cried out as they plummeted down to only the gods knew where.
The portal closes.
Meta-Verse Department Agency
Opening theme: Mr. Blue Sky by Electric Light Orchestra
Sun is shinin' in the sky
There ain't a cloud in sight
It's stopped rainin' everybody's in the play
And you don't know
It's a beautiful day, hey hey
In the Meta-Verse reality, we do see Milk Chan building a gigantic billboard sign. She was done, and she rubbed her forehead of sweat. Patamon, Gatomon and Biyomon were behind Milk as she was building the billboard. "It's done." The billboard said, 'Welcome, Newcomers.'
"This looks great!" Patamon said.
Gatomon nodded. "Yes, I'm sure they'll appreciate the warm welcome."
"Can't get any warmer of a welcome than a billboard," Biyomon agreed.
Runnin' down the avenue
See how the sun shines brightly in the city
On the streets where once was pity
Mr. Blue Sky is here today, hey hey
"Let's just hope I'm not confusing them when they come." Milk said.
"Hey, guys." Raggedy Ann came to them. "Nice day out."
"Yes, it is. I fucking like it." Milk said.
"I think we saw flashes up in the sky, though." Ann said.
Mr. Blue Sky please tell us why
You had to hide away for so long (So long)
Where did we go wrong?
"The portals are about to open, are they?" Milk asked.
Ann nodded.
"That means it's almost time!" Biyomon said excitedly.
"Let's not get too excited here." Milk then turned to Ann and nodded. "Let's go, boys. I mean, well, one boy and girls."
Mr. Blue Sky please tell us why
You had to hide away for so long (So long)
Where did we go wrong?
Later, some of the people were there, and they saw flashes up in the sky.
"Time to suck some things up." Milk sat on a recliner chair that she pulled out of thin air.
The flashes then turn into portals, and what came out are Riko's group, Ash's group, Michiru's group and Unico's group. But oddly, who also came with Unico's group are Beezle and Katy the Cat.
Everyone landed in a heap on the ground. Once they all untangled themselves, the four groups came face-to-face with one another.
"Just what are you people?" Michiru demanded, pointing to the other groups.
"I was just about to ask you that," Ash said. "Also, are you some kind of animal person?"
"Oh wow! A unicorn!" Mallow shouted as she ran over to Unico and scooped him up, giving him a hug. "You're so cute."
Everyone was staring and talking all at once, trying to figure out just what happened to all of them. They then heard a clap. They turned to see where the clap came from.
The clap came from Milk. "Yep. I kind of knew this was gonna happen. Read the billboard sign." She points at the billboard behind the Meta-Verse team and Digimon team.
"Welcome Newcomers?" Kiawe read the board, confused.
"I take it we're the newcomers," Nazuna said.
"Where exactly are we?" Reg asked.
"Welcome to the Field of Eternity." A voice said.
"Field of Eternity?" Ask repeated.
"Are we dead?" Nanachi asked.
"Nope. You're not dead. Also, I'm right down here."
They all looked down to see where the voice had come from. And it is revealed that it is our sweet little caterpillar, Katy Caterpillar.
"Hello to you all." Katy said.
"Hello to you too," Unico said. "Can I ask something? Why are we all here, and who are the rest of these guys?"
Katy sighed. "Well, we don't know the actual cause of this, but it seems that portals have been opening for quite a while, taking people from their worlds and into the next. These are the Meta-Verse Agents. There is a place here known as the Meta-Verse Department Agency, where we go to different worlds to help them from evil forces that tried to destroy or take over them, most notably the Nazis."
That did sound big, bigger than any of them could have ever imagined. Tai walked over to Ash and chuckled. "I know, it can be a lot to take in, but you'll get used to it. I'm Tai, by the way, and this is my partner, Agumon."
Agumon gave a wave and Pikachu hopped off Ash's shoulder to investigate the reptilian. "What kind of Pokemon is that?" Ash asked as he reached for his Rotom Dex.
"Sorry, but there's no data on that guy," Rotom said.
"Like I said, it can be a lot to take in, but it'll all become familiar soon," Tai said.
Michiru and Shirou looked around, still a little confused. "So, now what do we do?" Shirou asked.
"Well, with you being stuck here, it will be a while before your worlds can be found. These guys here are the same as you." Katy points at the DigiDestined and their Digimon. "But, we got them to agree on one thing. Help each other out. They volunteered to help us out by taking out the bad guys and all. What do you say?"
Everyone looked at one another. Sure they all had things they needed to accomplish, but they were all beginning to agree on that one thing… helping out. This sounded very important, and as far as they all could guess, this affected their worlds too.
"You can count me in," Ash said.
"Same here," Michiru agreed.
Unico stepped forward and said, "Yes, we'll help too."
Riko turned to her group and they all nodded to one another. "We'll do it," she said.
Katy nodded. She then smiled. "Alright then. Now, nothing's going on right now, so you guys can rest up for now, since this whole crazy portal thing must have made you tired. We will inform you when missions will start."
With everyone in agreement, they headed for the agency. Tai offered to show everyone around the area. The team then saw the Agency and saw that it was futuristic.
"This place is huge!" Nazuna said.
"I know. Now, we can show you around. I'm guessing me and Tai will be the ones to do that." Katy said.
"We should probably show them where they'll be staying first," Tai said. "Follow me, I'll show you guys your new home-away-from-home."
While they were going to the apartment center, Ann did pop up something interesting. "Just to let you know, if you ask how time works here, it doesn't. Time does not exist in this world. This is a world outside of time."
"So we don't have to worry about things happening in our world?" Shirou asked. He was worried that the crazed beast he had been fighting earlier may wake up and cause more havoc.
"That can vary. Time stops in some worlds, and time goes on in some worlds. It varies on which world, basically." Ann explains.
"I wouldn't worry too much," Michiru said. "You got that guy good. He won't be moving anytime soon."
After a while, they got to the apartment center, and saw that it was filled with balloons and streamers.
"Were you guys throwing a party?" Riko asked.
"Actually, this is a newcomer's party. I came up with it, they helped me with it," Milk points at the DigiDestined and Digimon. "And little robot maid helped too. Say hello to her." She points at the insect-sized android maid, ID-3 Hoihoi-san, to which she stopped sweeping, sees the newcomers, and just waved at them, then moves onto sweeping some more.
"This place is going to take some getting used to," Lillie said. Her Vulpix stood beside her and looked around, nervously. It was still unsure of all the new people.
"So, you guys have been here for a while now?" Kiawe asked Tai and Sora. "How is it?"
"It's not bad," Tai said.
"Everyone here is very friendly and trusty teammates," Sora added. "You'll fit right in."
"Yep." Milk nodded. "Well, might as well save the party for after the tour. I'm hoping nothing goes wrong with that."
"It'll be fine," Tai said. "Nothing can go wrong on this day."
Ann turns to…us. "Maybe. If. I might as well let you see for yourselves. Not gonna say anything."
The newcomers saw that Ann was talking to the wall, confusing them.
Ash turned to Tai and whispered, "Does she normally do that?"
Tai smiled and laughed softly. "Don't worry about it. She's just talking to someone you can't see, that's all."
"I just heard that." Ann said to us.
The tour goes on. The newcomers got to see all sorts of things: The park in the middle of the Agency, the cafeteria, the meeting room, the arcade room, nice, nice, nice.
"I always love to come here every now and then." Milk said as she looked around the arcade room.
"I think I'm in heaven," Sophocles said.
"Great, we'll never get him out of this room now," Mallow said with a chuckle.
"Hmm. Interesting." Ann nodded.
"That's what people that love arcades do, they always get stuck in here for hours." Katy said.
"We come here every now and then," Tai said. "We're usually hanging out though. Like I said, everyone is friends here."
"Well, sort of. We do have some betrayals in the past though. I'm sorry I have to bring that up, but I always hate it when we get betrayed by someone here." Ann points out.
"That sounds rough," Michiru said.
"I suppose with how many people are here, there are bound to be some bad eggs in the bunch," Lana said.
"I say." Ann nodded, then she looked at Faputa, curiously.
Faputa noticed this and stared at her back with wide eyes. "What is it, sosu?" she asked.
"Who are you? Because…strange thing, I did have visions of you for some odd reason." Ann said. "Like…not this vision, some type of memory…"
Faputa tilted her head curiously. "Vision? Memory?" she repeated, confused.
"Like…I saw you, when you were first born in this vision. You hatched out, all in rage. I don't know why. But, that came to me all of a sudden." Ann explains the vision she had.
Faputa bristled, but didn't say much else, except when she glanced back at Ann and said, "because that village had to be destroyed."
Ann nodded, slowly. She wasn't supposed to have a bad day with the newcomers, but Ann noticed Faputa. "She was not with our Riko's group. So, when did they first meet her?" She thought to herself, thinking to herself on how Faputa had met them.
Later, after the tour, they were all heading back to the apartment center, but they then came across Meta-Verse Reg in the hall. Meta-Verse Reg saw the other Reg, and he rolled his eyes. "I knew it."
"Um, am I seeing double?" Michiru asked.
Reg stared dumbfounded at his Meta-Verse self. "Who are you?" he asked.
"I'm you." Meta-Verse Reg replied.
What Reg does see on Meta-Verse Reg is that he has both his arms intact. Reg looked down at his stub of an arm and sighed. "How in the world did another me get here?"
Riko sprinted over to the Meta-Verse Reg and looked him over. "You look exactly like our Reg, except you still have your other arm. Did someone repair it for you?"
"Yes. Since I came out of the Abyss, we were gonna go to the Sixth Layer, but that was when a portal got us. So, since we came to…another world, someone was willing to repair it. And that person is Peni Parker. She is here in this agency right now." Meta-Verse Reg explains.
"Can you take us to her?" Riko asked. "Can she fix Reg's arm too?"
"She can." Meta-Verse Reg nodded. "Follow me." He sighed.
They then go to where Peni Parker would be. While they were, Meta-Verse Reg notices Faputa and has to ask. "Is that someone that we'll meet in the Sixth Layer?" He points at Faputa.
Riko nods. "Yes, we met here in a village called Ilblu."
Meta-Verse Reg nodded. "Strange. Why is she attached to my other self?" He looks at her, who is on Reg's head at the moment.
The team then goes into a repair center, and they see that someone is working on the computers at the moment.
"Um, excuse me," Riko began. "Are you Peni Parker?"
"Yes, I am." Peni turns her chair to face the team. She is a high school student. "Oh, reality thing happened. Not surprised."
Reg walked over to her and showed him where his arm had been sawed off. "Would you be able to repair me?" he asked.
Peni looks at the sawed off stub. "Sure, sure. I still have the blueprints from the other arm that I built for the other Reg, using Stark Technology and all."
Reg had no idea what Stark Technology was, but he hoped that it would help him. "Thank you," he said. He then glanced up at Faputa. "You need to get off now."
"No," she mumbled.
"Oh, and who is this fluffy thing? She looks cute." Peni patted Faputa in the head.
Faputa tried to bite her hand and snarled.
"Feisty. I saw feisty once." Peni sighed. "Well, it will take me a while to get the arm repaired. Few hours tops, so, you might as well not be here, since, you know, you might get bored quickly."
They understood and took their leave of Peni Parker and went to rejoin the others.
Peni sighed. "Okay, SP/DR. Let's do this."
Her robotic suit, SP/DR, made a holographic smile.
The team are back in the apartment center, waiting for Peni to fix up Reg's arm. While there, Milk had an idea.
"Now that the tour is over, I say we will do this party." Milk grabs out a boombox.
"Sure." Katy nodded.
The party got underway. Sora and Mimi had even made punch and a few cakes just for the newcomers. Everyone dug into the cake and drank some punch. The music was still pretty loud, but so was the chatter of everyone talking to one another, trying to get better acquainted with all these new worlds and the people from them.
"I kind of almost never got to do this once in a party." Ann unzips her head, then three white hands come out. She then tangles them up from above and below, and makes herself spin like a top.
Everyone clapped at the performance, even though they were a little creeped out by the hands coming out of her head, but they all assumed that that was something they would get used to.
"Goddamn. That was some stuff." Milk said.
"Thanks." Ann said.
Milk then jumps from the counter to the couch. High-jump. And then she grabs out a Switch controller. "Are we still doing the games, or is that restricted?"
"I'm down!" Michiru said.
"Same here!" Ash added. It had been a long time since he had sat down to play a video game, since he was so busy with Pokemon training and all.
"What's that?" Unico asked, having never seen a controller, let alone a video game before.
"This? It's a Switch controller." Milk said. Sure, Unico still has no idea what she's talking about.
"It's a lot of fun, we'll show you," Michiru said and everyone gathered around the television.
"Alright. I still have Mario Kart 8 inserted here, so, hope you guys are good at racing the tracks." Milk said.
"You guys are going down this time!" Tai said.
"Yeah."
Later, the race begins in MARIO KART 8! I have to say it.
They played for a long time, passing the controllers around to each other as they took turns racing. Poor Unico and Katy the Cat were left out, since they didn't have hands to use the controller, but Unico eventually figured out that he could use his magic to manipulate the controller.
"I thought I would be first. But I'm damned sixth." Milk saw that she was in sixth place in the game.
"Sophocles isn't allowed to play anymore," Sora said. "He's too good."
"You're just jealous," he laughed, but passed the controller to Lillie. This had been the third race in a row that he had won.
"You know, ever since knowing this guy here," Milk points at Faputa. "I can actually compete with her. What do ya say, Fappy?"
Faputa growled at the nickname and took the controller, confused. She tried to bite it at first, but Tai quickly yanked the controller out of her hand. "Might want to pick a different opponent, Milk," he said.
"Don't worry, she'll get the hang of things eventually, I'm sure." Milk then saw that her character was falling. "OH YOU FUCKING DICKWAD!"
"Man, you weren't even hit with a shell," Ash laughed. "Looks like I'm pulling into third place-" he was hit with a red shell. "Dang it! Who did that?"
Lillie just giggled as she passed by him.
"Goddamn." Milk saw that Unico passed her. "Goddammit. Now I'm in seventh?"
"Dang, Unico's weirdly good for not having hands," Mimi noted.
"So true. So true." Milk said.
After a point, the party ends. But Ann feels suddenly disturbed. She left the apartment center.
Everyone else was beginning to disperse for the evening, heading to their rooms for the evening.
In the nighttime, in Riko's quarters, she was sleeping, peacefully. But then, her room's door opens, and metal footsteps are made.
Riko stirs when she hears the footsteps and turns to the source, wondering who could be coming in her room so late at night. What she saw was terrifying. It was Wheatley.
"You're mine now, Whistle Blower." Wheatley made a metal arm and put his hand in her mouth to silence her.
But, it was all a dream.
Riko awoke with a start. She shot up in bed, breathless from the terrifying dream. "Just what was that?" she wondered aloud. She then clutched the white whistle around her neck, as if asking Prushka for guidance. She then got out of bed and headed out, wondering if she should ask someone about the strange dream she had. The first person she came across is the little caterpillar, Katy.
"Not much sleep?" Katy asked.
Riko shook her head. "I had the strangest dream," she began. "There was this weird robot who snuck into my room and grabbed me. It said 'your mine now, Whistle Blower,' but then I woke up. I wonder what that's about."
Katy looks concerned. "What does this robot look like?" She is scared of what's going on now.
"He was like this ball with one eye and he had metal arms."
Katy's eyes widened. "It's Wheatley…"
"Who is that?" Riko asked, also starting to become scared. If this was enough to shake Katy, then just who was this robot?
"Wheatley is an enemy we have been fighting off for days now. He is after Kari, to which he believes that she is the Light One. But, to my understanding, the Light One is one of the Four Pinnacles, the conduits to which are used to revive the goddess of death, Myonora, who has been dead for 2,000 years. But, if Wheatley's after you, and titled you the Whistle Blower, then you are the second of the Four Pinnacles to revive the goddess of death." Katy explains.
Riko was at a loss of words. She simply held the whistle closely and stared wide-eyed at Katy. "But that's impossible. I'm not some pinnacle. I'm the daughter of Lyza the Annihilator, but not that." she said.
Katy sighed. "It seems that you have become a target for Wheatley now. So you have to save yourself and Kari from this robotic maniac."
This was all quite scary, but she knew that as long as she had Reg and her White Whistle, she knew she would be safe. "I'll be sure to stay away from this Wheatley guy. As long as I have Reg, I'll be fine."
Katy nodded.
Outside, Ann overheard all of this, and she quivers in fear. She knew something was disturbing her, and that was it. "Gatomon needs to be informed." She goes to find Gatomon.
To which, Gatomon was heading back to the apartment center, but she caught Ann fast-walking to her.
"What's wrong, Ann?" she asked.
"It's the Four Pinnacles. We now know who the second one is. There's Kari, and now there's Riko. I'm afraid he is after her because of that White Whistle she inherited." Ann explains.
Gatomon sighed. "I take it she doesn't know anything about this either?"
"I don't know. But, she had a dream about Wheatley, so that means he's after her." Ann said.
Gatomon knew better than to question the prophecy of a dream. Kari had plenty of prophetic dreams in the past, and she knew that this must not have been any different. She sighed and said, "We'll have to watch over her too. Poor Riko, now she's really caught up in all of this too."
"I'm assuming Wheatley's gonna strike soon. So we better keep both Kari and Riko on watch. I might have to have a guardian protect her. I know she has Reg with her, but I think Faputa will also keep her watch on her too. Since…I think she has better qualities of a guardian herself, from what I've understood of my memory-like vision." Ann said, then she sighed. "I am scared."
"Me too," Gatomon said. "Kari may be the one I'm sworn to protect, but I want to be able to protect all of you as well. Should we say something to the others about this?"
"We might as well bring in Reg, Faputa and Nanachi first, then we'll tell the others." Ann said.
Gatomon nodded. "I'll go find them and let them know what's going on."
"I'll come with you." Ann insisted.
The two headed back to the Cave Raiders' apartment. They found Reg, Nanachi, and Faputa, the latter of which was sitting on Reg's head and refusing to come down.
"We've got a problem," Gatomon began. "Someone is after Riko."
Reg bristled upon hearing that. "Who is after her?"
"I'm afraid it's a robotic maniac, only known as Wheatley. He believes that she is one of the Four Pinnacles, the conduits to which are used to revive the goddess of death, Myonora, who is dead for 2,000 years." Ann explains.
The three exchanged worried looks. "Why would he assume that she's one of these Pinnacles?" Nanachi asked.
"It doesn't matter," Reg said. "I'm going to protect her no matter what."
"You might Faputa do it too, since…I see that she has some better qualities as well." Ann suggests.
Faputa perked up upon hearing her name. "You mean me, sosu?"
Ann nodded. "Riko isn't the only one Wheatley is after. It is also Kari. Kari is labeled the Light One, and Riko is labeled the Whistle Blower."
"That means there are two more Pinnacles out there," Gatomon noted. "I wonder who else they're going to come after?"
"I'm not sure." Ann whispered, and shook her head. "Gatomon is Kari's protector, you and Faputa will be Riko's protectors. I'm afraid something beyond our understanding might begin soon. Who knows when?"
Gatomon shuddered at the thought. Their opponents so far were far from pushovers, and she wondered if Ann was right, that something big was going to happen. "In the meantime, all we can do is protect Kari and Riko."
Reg nodded. "I understand. We won't let any harm come to Riko."
"You're entrusted now." Ann motioned for Gatomon to come with her, to which the two of them left the room.
"Now what do we do, Ann?" Gatomon sighed. "Do you possibly know anything else about these last two Pinnacles?"
"No I don't." Ann said.
"I guess there isn't much else to do now but wait," Gatomon said. She hated the idea of just waiting around, but until their enemies showed themselves, there was little she could do.
Meanwhile, Hoihoi-san comes into the Pokemon trainers' room and sweeps up the floor. But then, a red alert has been sounded off.
"Does that mean it's time to go?" Ash asked.
"Sounds like it," Kiawe said.
Later, the team goes to the meeting room.
"Wheatley has been spotted. But, we got trouble. He brought another Digimon to attack the area. This Digimon that we have confirmation of, is Tyrannomon." Katy explains.
"No problem," Tai said. "We've taken down Tyrannomon in the past."
"True, but he's probably stronger now, like how Seadramon had been," Sora said.
"Only because of the Space Core Element. It seems that Tyrannomon might be in the effects of the Space Core Element now." Katy said.
"That means he's going to be really strong. Probably as strong as our ultimate-level Digimon," Matt noted.
"What's the plan, then?" Ash asked.
"Well, he is located in Hong Kong. So we go there and take out Tyrannomon. And please note, Wheatley is after Kari still, and now we have Riko to worry about, so keep all this in mind." Katy said.
"Got it," Reg said. He then turned to Faputa. "Are you ready, too?"
She nodded. "I'm always ready."
On the way to the van truck, Milk incidentally slips a bookmark to Nanachi. "That's my phone number, you can call whenever you need to. Also, might as well give you this too." She then gives Nanachi the phone. "Thanks and good luck to all of us. See you soon." She walks up to the front.
Everyone piled into the van truck and they headed out to Hong Kong. Along the way, Izzy taught Nanachi how to use her new phone and even downloaded a few apps that might help her out in the future.
"Think you got it?" Izzy asked.
Nanachi smiled. "About as much as I'm going to get it."
"We're seeing here that Tyrannomon has actually been attacking the area. He destroyed a good amount of buildings." Katy said.
"If he destroyed the Eiffel Tower, I'm gonna be pissed." Milk said.
"We're not going to Paris." Katy said.
Milk sighed in relief. "Good. I got a field trip planned up for that. And Kikyo promised to take me to the Eiffel Tower."
"I've heard of that." Katy said.
Hoihoi-san sees the map of Hong Kong on the table and scans through it. "I don't see Wheatley right off."
"Oh that's not good." Paiman said.
Everyone looked around, waiting for something to jump out at them. "We should probably investigate then," Riko said.
Hoihoi-san nodded.
Hong Kong
After a while, they got to Hong Kong. Everyone has gotten out of the van truck, and Milk has gotten out with a cowboy gun. "I'm gonna be a fucking ninja cowboy." She gets out and starts to investigate, while holding her gun up.
"Just don't go too wild with those guns," Joe joked. "Don't want to get hit by any friendly fire."
"Where do you think these guys are at?" Ash asked.
"If I were Wheatley, I probably say he might be setting up another trap." Katy assumed.
"We'll be ready for them," Tai said as he took a few tentative steps. His Digivice was in hand and he was ready to command Agumon to digivolve at any time.
Konata Izumi goes into the investigation scene, but then they hear a building being destroyed from nearby.
"That's probably him." Katy said.
"Let's go check it out!" Michiru said. Everyone scurried over to where the sound of the building being brought down was.
They got there, but saw nothing. But then, another building is destroyed, and then reveals the gigantic t-rex: Tyrannomon.
The massive dinosaur Digimon stomped through the rubble and quickly spotted the team of heroes. It let out a massive roar and charged, flames licking its teeth as it advanced.
"Blaze Blast!" Tyrannomon bellowed and unleashed a massive fireball in the middle of the group.
"GET DOWN!" Katy shouted.
Everyone got out of the way, and the Blaze Blast incidentally hits the van truck, causing it to flip over and it's on its side.
Flandre was caught in this. "Dammit." She gets herself to unbuckle and she tries to get out of the van truck a different way.
"This isn't good," Sora said.
Tai grabbed his Digivice and held it up to the sky. "Now, Agumon, it's time to digivolve. Agumon began to glow brightly and his body morphed and changed until he had become Greymon.
Greymon charged for Tyrannomon and the two t-rexes butted heads with each other. Surprisingly, despite the fact Greymon had a helmet and horns, almost appeared overwhelmed by Tyrannomon's tackle. Greymon faltered back but Tyrannomon looked rearing to go.
"He's stronger than before," Greymon said. "Must be that Space Core Element."
Tai then turned to the others. Can some of you go to make sure that Flandre's alright while the rest of us hold Tyrannomon back from causing anymore damage?"
"Yeah." Hakumei nodded.
"Let's go." Ushio Okazaki said.
Hakumei gets on Ushio's shoulder and both them, Cherry and Unico go up to the van truck.
"Are you okay in there?" Hakumei asked.
"I'm fine, ooba. Just need to find a way out." Flandre confirmed.
Unico's horn began to glow and the van truck's door opened wide, the metal stretching to be wide enough for her to get out. "That should work, he said.
Flandre looked at Unico for a moment. "Nice." She then grabs out her chainsaw and goes up to the door that Unico made and she gets out. "Thanks."
But then, a big ship above the sky appeared, and what came out of the ship who was flying down fast at them is none other than Wheatley.
"Hello. This is the part where I'm going to kill you." Wheatley has made missile projectiles and he shoots at the team.
"LOOK OUT!" Katy shouted.
Gomamon digivolve into Zudomon and he jumped in front of everyone and turned around so his back was to the missiles. The missiles shot the back of Zudomon.
"Curses!" Wheatley's blue eye went red.
"Looks like we're really making him mad now," Tai said. "Everyone, let's give it everything we've got!"
All the Digimon digivolved into their ultimate level forms and all the Pokemon trainers sent out their partner pokemon. Shirou turned into his silver wolf form, and Reg and Faputa got into fighting stances.
Wheatley snickered. "You're making me fucking impressed." He then sees Riko. "Oh, I see that you have the Whistle Blower now. Interesting, interesting. Why don't you hand her over too and no one gets hurt?"
"How about 'no,' does that work for you?" Ash said. "Pikachu, let's get him. Use Thunderbolt!"
Pikachu jumped up and unleashed a blast of electricity at Wheatley.
Wheatley created a shield and it absorbed Pikachu's Thunderbolt. "Oh you really think your electric mouse is gonna help you? No. It's the other way around." He then gets Pikachu's Thunderbolt shooting out of the shield and is aimed at Pikachu.
"Turtonator, use Iron Defense!" Kiawe shouted, and the dragon turtle moved in the way of the electricity, his body growing stiffer and more durable. The electricity bounced off his body, leaving Turtonator mostly intact.
Wheatley rolled his eye. "This is really stupid."
"Sir, you might as well think about tactics." A robot came to Wheatley.
This robot looks like a steering wheel and has one red eye and is white. This is AUTO, an auto-pilot robot.
"Yeah, I planned things ahead of schedule." Wheatley rolled his eye.
"Maybe not enough." AUTO then goes onto shooting beams out of its mechanical arms.
Everyon scattered to avoid the beams, running about in all directions. Shirou opened his mouth and a beam of light fired out of it. Its target was AUTO.
"Are you kidding?" AUTO goes up to the ship, dodging Shirou's beam of light.
"This is gonna be one good show, ain't it?" Ann then goes up to Tyrannomon, unzips the top of her head, to which white hands come out, and she begins using them to try and tangle up the massive t-rex.
MetalGreymon used the opportunity and fired his Giga Blaster at Tyrannomon, the twin missiles screeched through the air as they soared toward the red t-rex. Tyrannomon was blasted back and stumped, tripped by Ann. It collapsed to the ground and struggled to get back up.
"Good. This will keep him." Ann said.
"That's good at least." Katy said.
"Oh no…" Wheatley then teleports himself right in front of Reg and makes a metal arm and grabs him in the throat, lifting him up a few inches from the ground. "Heard you are a Pinnacle Protector, alongside your Embodiment of Value. While that t-rex is down, I might as well have the opportunity to tear you to shreds myself."
Faputa leaped up and slashed at Wheatley with her claws. "Let go of my Reg, sosu!"
Wheatley creates another metal arm and grabs her as well. "You two are very, very special for some odd reason. You saw what Riko's whistle can do. But I'm curious to see what it does myself." He then looks at Riko, who is some feet away from them. "You can't cower forever. Some fears are gonna come after you. And those fears are gonna take over you…for good…"
"I'm not afraid of you," Riko said defiantly. She picked up her whistle and blew into it, the loud ring echoed through the entire area. Reg's armor suddenly turned a brilliant white, and he broke free of Wheatley.
Wheatley took a few flights back in surprise. "No…so this is it?" He snickered. "I say you have the same ability as your Embodiment of Value here." He still holds Faputa in hand. "SHOW ME WHAT YOU'RE MADE OF!" He then flew fast at Reg.
Reg's arm extended out and he slammed it against Wheatley. The chain coils about as he repeatedly slammed his arm against him over and over.
"It's more than just a damned slam in the eye." Wheatley grabbed Reg's arms and he threw them around a nearby building.
Riko began to waver, her legs felt like they were turning to mush. She nearly forgot that by using her whistle, it drained her of energy. Nanachi turned to her and led her away from the fighting. "Hurry, Riko, this way."
Faputa continued to try to slash at Wheatley and break free from his grasp. She struggled and thrashed about until she finally pried herself out of his grip.
"Just what are you trying to do, Embodiment of Value? Or should I call you that? I mean, what value do you even have?" Wheatley gets close to Faputa and makes eye contact with her. "Do you even have a worth at all, hmm?"
Faputa paused, stunned by his words. Was she really worthless now that she had finally eradicated that village? Was her worth finally used up?
"Faputa, don't listen to him," Reg shouted from where he was trying to pick himself back up. "You have worth. You're worthy to us, Faputa!" Reg finally untangled himself and aimed the incinerator at Wheatley. "I only have one shot, so I have to make it count," he muttered to himself as he took aim and fired the massive and destructive beam from his hand.
"Your Incinerator is not gonna work!" Wheatley would be wrong as he got shot and got aimed towards a building and got hit there. It did damage him, but he is not unconscious.
Ann hears this and looks at Reg. "Oh God. He's gonna pass out." She then extended her legs to make them look like a tall man and she went up to Reg. "Might as well go somewhere safe."
Reg could already feel the blackness of unconsciousness begin to set in. He wobbled but followed Ann as best he could while fighting to stay conscious.
"Is he okay?" Yuki Nagato goes up to Reg and Ann.
"This is his way of doing things. He shoots that Incinerator, he passes out for two hours straight." Ann said.
"So we use our Reg then?" Nagato asked.
"Pretty much so." Ann nodded. "Take him somewhere safe and be careful."
Nagato nodded, then got Reg from Ann and she went to a nearby building to keep Reg safe. Nanachi noticed them and helped Riko over to the building that Nagato was taking Reg to. Nanachi helped Riko lay down on the floor to rest.
"Looks like they're both out of commission," Nanachi said. "I just can't believe that Wheatley guy could take the Incinerator."
Nagato looks at the out of commission Reg and Riko, then turns to Nanachi. "I didn't know about all this. I really didn't." She shook her head. "My other self would have known this if she had."
"Your other self?" Nanachi asked.
Nagato sighed. "I got myself out of it for a while. Another me took control of my body, filling in for me while I was out of it. She's different from me. Very, very different from me."
"Different good or different bad?" Nanachi was very curious now.
"Well, she has a different personality from mine. She isn't a bad person. She just…I don't know how to say it, but…she's more confident then I am." Nagato explains.
"I see," Nanachi murmured. There was a lot about these new friends that Nanachi didn't understand, but there was no problem in asking. "I guess all we can do now is watch over these guys. I just hope the battle doesn't come this way."
Nagato nodded.
Meanwhile, still in the battle, Faputa saw that there is more to do.
"Kid, you don't know what your enemies would have been." A woman came to Faputa, with a baseball bat in hand.
This woman has tan skin and has brown hair and wears a white t-shirt, black pants and black boots.
"You think that scares me, sosu?" Faputa said as she charged for the woman, ready to rip her to shreds.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, fucking slow down! I'm on your side, okay?!" The woman is shocked to see that Faputa would think of attacking her first before asking questions. Or, maybe not ask questions at all.
Faputa stopped, seeing that this person wasn't about to fight back. "Who are you, sosu?"
Silence
"I'm Black Canary. One of the Birds of Prey."
Faputa didn't know what that was, but she assumed that this person must be on their side. "Okay, you don't seem like one of the bad ones," she said. "Just don't get in my way, sosu."
"Oh I won't. I'm gonna help you out." Black Canary stood next to Faputa and she swung her baseball bat. "You ready to kick some ass?"
Faputa nodded. "I'm always ready." She roared and charged for Wheatley.
Wheatley notices this. "Oh come on. Are you kidding? I thought you were done."
But then, Ann's white hands snapped off as Tyrannomon managed to break free.
Black Canary notices this. "Oh my fucking God, what is that thing?"
She wouldn't receive an answer, as Tyrannomon stood up and let out a deafening roar. MetalGreymon quickly intercepted him, but Tyrannomon proved too powerful. "Blaze Blast!" it bellowed as it unleashed another fireball at MetalGreymon.
MetalGreymon stumbled back, shocked by the raw power Tyrannomon was packing. The other ultimate-level Digimon jumped in the attack, firing their most powerful attacks.
"Flower Cannon!"
"Vulcan's Hammer!"
"Horn Buster!"
The attack all came together into a massive beam and blasted Tyrannomon. Tyrannomon fumbled back but stayed strong, growling and firing more blasts of heat at them.
"Where's the other Reg?" Meta-Verse Reg goes up to the team.
"He's out of commission. He used the Incinerator to stop Wheatley." Katy said.
"He's still up?" Meta-Verse Reg asked in shock.
"Apparently it wasn't enough to stop Wheatley." Katy said.
Meta-Verse Reg thinks for a moment. "Alright. That's bad." He then looks up at Tyrannomon. "I might as well do this." He goes running up to Tyrannomon and he extends his arms to attack the massive t-rex.
Tyrannomon stumbled back and roared again. It turned its attention to Meta-Verse Reg and snarled. "Blaze Blast!" it shouted as it breathed more of its fire breath at him.
Meta-Verse Reg dodges the blast, with it hitting the road instead.
Wheatley goes up to the spaceship, avoiding Faputa's chance to attack and watches from above. "They won't hide the Whistle Blower that easily. At least the Light One is out in the open." He sees that Kari is out, seeing Angewomon attacking Tyrannomon with the other ultimate level Digimon.
Black Canary sees Tyrannomon, then to Faputa. "Hey, I got an idea for you, and hopefully this works."
"What is it, sosu?" Faputa asked.
"I do have this ability of a supersonic scream. Which can be windy as well. If I can just get you on top of that motherfucking t-rex, you might have the advantage to kill that thing." Black Canary said.
"Let's do it!" Faputa said impatiently. "I wanna take that thing out!"
"Yeah, you're pissed. That's good." Black Canary looks at Tyrannomon. "You'll need it."
Both Faputa and Black Canary charge at Tyrannomon, and the latter is behind Faputa. She then let out a scream, strong enough that it carried Faputa and she is now flying high in the sky, aiming towards Tyrannomon.
Faputa landed on Tyrannomon's head and all hell broke loose. Faputa was practically flying around as she attacked Tyrannomon with everything she had, tearing into him with her claws. She didn't stop her onslaught until Tyrannomon exploded into data particles.
Wheatley's eye widened. "Son of a bitch! But how?!" He then looks up at the ship. "That thing's weakness is Faputa?! Dammit the Space Core Element is fucking random on weaknesses!" He then goes up to the ship and it is gone.
You think the battle's done? There's more. But they don't realize it yet.
Milk wiped her forehead of sweat. "I didn't get any attacks from you, author." She then jumps up to Faputa and then uses an umbrella and flies to her, doing an impression of Mary Poppins. "You did good there, Fappy."
Faputa stared at her, a little confused. "I just do what I do best, sosu," she said.
Milk nodded. "Oh, this?" She points at her umbrella. "You might wanna watch Mary Poppins sometime. It's very old, but it never loses its spirit."
Faputa was even more confused, but appreciated the kind words regardless. The others were beginning to gather around as well, each congratulating Faputa for the save in the end. Faputa was a little overwhelmed by the kind words, but she started to relish in it.
Katy crawls up to Faputa. "That was honestly something I did not think you would do. So, you surprised me."
"Faputa's our little death machine," Tai said.
"That's a fucking good aliases. We can actually call you Death Machine." Black Canary points at Faputa. "That does sound good."
"Just Faputa will do, sosu," she said, although the thought of becoming known as "Death Machine" did sound rather alluring.
"I'm still gonna call you Fappy, okay?' Milk patted Faputa in the back.
Faputa growled but didn't really mind it. The others laughed. "Well, it looks like everything's wrapped up. Time to head home?"
"You think you won…" A man came to them, having Nagato, Nanachi, the unconscious Riko and Reg in magical binds. "...but you have not."
This man has brown hair and a brown mustache and wears a black long-sleeve overcoat, black shirt, black pants and black shoes.
"Who are you?" Michiru demanded.
"I am Vandal Savage, but you can call me…Hath-Set. Egyptian ruler of them all."
"Let them go," Tai said.
"You think you have possibilities in destroying enemies. No, there is more. There is a lot more." Hath-Set then threw the four at them, but kept Riko in the bind. "She makes me curious." He goes up to her and examines her White Whistle that is on her neck. "Prushka, is that right? I was originally going to be her father, but I let Bondrewd do that."
"Let Riko go!" Nanachi shouted.
"Oh you shouldn't use harsh words, Blessing. I know you have it, and you'll be next, as I wanted something like that years after failing to kill Hawkman." Hath-Set said. "You literally shouldn't betray who your creator is, Blessing."
"What did you say?" Nanachi demanded. "Bondrewd betrayed us!"
"No. He is helping you all. Helping you adapt to newer grounds. He's saving you all from those weak human forms of yours." Hath-Set said.
"I'm just about over this guy!" Tai said. "MetalGreymon, do something!"
MetalGreymon stomped forward and snarled at Hath-Set. "Let Riko go or else," he growled.
"You're gonna piss off the wrong people." Hath-Set used his magic to throw MetalGreymon up into the air and sent him flying towards a building, injuring him as a whole.
"Oh crap!" Katy saw this.
"Whoa, that guy is strong," Michiru said.
"I am immortal. I live for all eternity." Hath-Set got out his staff and readied it.
"You think you're the only one here who is immortal?" Shirou snarled. He took a few steps toward Hath-Set. "Face me if you dare. Put the girl down and battle like a man."
Hath-Set smiled, evilly. "Oh, this will be interesting." He then throws Riko into a car and puts the magic binds on it to seal the Cave Raider in, then he charges at Shirou, using his magical abilities to attack the wolf.
Shirou leaped out of the way and fired a beam of light at Hath-Set from his maw. Hath-Set blocks the attack with a shield spell and he goes up to Shirou and punches him very strongly, causing the wolf to fly into a building.
Faputa ran into the fray. "I'm immortal too, sosu," she said. "And I know I'm far more powerful than that wolf." She screamed and charged, swinging her claws at Hath-Set.
Hath-Set uses the shield spell to block Faputa's attacks, then he grabs her. "Then you should help me accomplish one thing. To gather a team of immortals and kill off my enemy, Hawkman."
"Never!" she roared as she continued to sprint around, then drew closer and swung her claws again.
"Oh child, you think the village is the end?" Hath-Set smacks Faputa in the chest with the end of the staff, while the shield spell is cast. "The village isn't. There's more reasons for your rage than just your mother herself. In fact, your mother is still alive."
Faputa stopped attacking. "My mother.. Still alive?"
"Yes." Hath-Set nodded.
"How can she be alive?" Ann came to Hath-Set, standing right next to Faputa.
"You see, she is encased in a place known as Equestria, home to the ponies, where Princess Celestia rules." Hath-Set said.
Ann's eyes widened. "Equestria…" She turns to Faputa. "...but, why is she there?"
"Who knows. I don't know the real reason for it. I just know that she is there. That's all I know." Hath-Set said.
Faputa seemed to mull it over, which worried everyone.
"Faputa, don't listen to him," Unico cried out. "You don't know if he's telling the truth."
"You think I'm lying?" Hath-Set shook his head. "No. It's possible."
"If you're thinking about targeting Irumyuui…" Ann turns into a tornado, with her head still there and she surrounds Hath-Set. "...then I'm not letting you. If you're telling the truth, that is."
Hath-Set just smiled. "I'm no liar." He then strikes lightning onto Ann and she turns back to normal, clearly injured herself.
"My mother…" Faputa seemed lost, like she was no longer focused on the battle.
"Faputa!" Katy shouted. "Don't lose yourself to despair! If you do that, then you might die! Faputa, just snap out of it!"
"Faputa! Keep fighting for Reg and Riko!" Nanachi shouted.
That snapped Faputa out of it. All of it. Her friends' words made her realize that she couldn't stop fighting now. She hunkered down into a pouncing position and gritted her teeth. "I'm going to destroy you too, sosu," she said as she lunged for Hath-Set.
"You try…" Hath-Set then transforms into a giant Egyptian statue. "...but you ain't getting anywhere, child." He then is about to slam his fist onto Faputa.
Faputa sidestepped it and raked her claws against Hath-Set, jumped up high and started slashing him across the chest.
Hath-Set stumbled. After he got his balance, he then decided to grab Nanachi and lift her up. "While I'm at it, I might as well take you as well, Blessing. There's a lot you need to learn."
"NANACHI!" Katy gets out her Big Impact Gun and shoots at Hath-Set's fist, to which it did damage, making it crumble and Nanachi was sent free falling.
Black Canary then screamed and her scream made a safety pillow for Nanachi.
Nanachi gave a friendly wave to Black Canary. "Thanks for the save."
"No problem, bunny girl." Black Canary said.
"Now, we need to save Riko," Nanachi continued. She peered over and saw Unico sneaking over to the car that Riko was trapped in. Using his magic, Unico opened the door and tried to wake Riko up.
Ushio goes up to Riko and she also tries to wake her up as well. "You might wanna get up."
Riko began to stir. Her eyelids fluttered open and she started coming to. "Where are we?" she asked.
"No time to explain," Unico replied. "Let's get out of here quickly."
"Oh no she won't." They then saw Scalpel on Riko. "Ye zink I left with Wheatley. No, I did not. I might as well grab zis whistle here and call it good, yes?"
"That's what you think!" Unico said as he used his magic to shove Scaplel away from Riko.
Scalpel did his best to hold onto Riko, eventually tearing into her skin, but he got shoved into the front window of the car and was beaten up.
Riko winced at the pain but pushed herself up anyway, and got out of the car, following Ushio and Unico away from there.
Hath-Set saw Riko getting out of the car. "Oh no you don't." But he got blasted. And who blasts him is Meta-Verse Reg with the Incinerator.
The statue then crumbled all together, killing Hath-Set completely.
Everyone waited with bated breaths, but once they realized that Hath-Set was gone for good, they all threw up their arms and cheered.
"Yippee ki-yay, motherfucker! Yee-haw!" Milk did a cowboy dance.
Meta-Verse Reg felt dizzy, and he fell to the ground, unconscious.
"Well, now we have two unconscious Regs," Michiru said. "I think now would be a good time to get out of here."
Katy nodded. "Mission accomplished, so, let's go."
The team gathered in the van truck, to which Unico used his magic to lift it up and put it in good shape, and they drove off.
Scalpel saw this and got pissed. "Zat whistle would haff been mine. I would haff experimented on it."
Meta-Verse Department Agency
Later, back in the Agency, we see both Regs conscious again.
"God. That was one hell of a battle there." Meta-Verse Reg turns to Reg. "You really wouldn't believe what happened when you passed out."
Reg sighed. "I probably wouldn't. I'm just glad everyone made it out of there safely."
Meta-Verse Reg nodded. "I fill in for you, so be happy I did that."
"Trust me, I am," Reg said. "I wouldn't have used the Incinerator if I didn't feel like I had any choice. That guy was really powerful."
Meta-Verse Reg nodded, concerned. "He is. He definitely is. I'm shocked the Incinerator did not kill him."
"Same here. I'll know better than to use the Incinerator on him so soon in a fight."
Meta-Verse Reg nodded. "He keeps recurring, so we better watch our backs now."
Peni then came to them. "Oh good, you're up. The others are at my lab at the moment. Your arm is now complete."
"It is?" Reg said excitedly. He followed her to her lab, eager to get a new arm.
Peni and Reg entered the lab, where Riko, Nanachi, Meinya and Faputa are at. She then let Reg follow her to the newly created arm, to which this arm is a red and gold color. "Yeah, I changed the color a bit. Looks interesting though, don't you think?"
Reg looked it over and smiled. "It's perfect," he said.
Peni smiled. "Thanks." She then grabs it and she inserts it onto Reg. She then sighed and stepped back a bit. "I made sure it can extend, so you have that ability again, and also, like I did with the other Reg, you can shoot out smaller blasts. Just like how Iron Man would have done it." She then points at the target dummy. "You can test it out with this."
Reg turned to the target dummy and fired a cluster of energy bursts at it. The attack worked great, and Reg shifted his gaze back to Peni. "This is great! Thank you so much for doing this."
Peni nodded. "So now you can use that as a weapon if you need to. And you might wanna use the Incinerator as a backup just in case. But on the other arm you shouldn't be strained into unconsciousness. I made sure of that."
"You did?" He was shocked. That meant he could use the Incinerator much more, but he also had a better weapon with the smaller energy bursts. He now didn't have to worry about the fatigue of using his ultimate weapon. He couldn't be more grateful. "Thank you again for all of this," he said.
"No problem." Peni sighed. But, she did reveal one thing. "Even though the other arm you can't strain yourself with, the arm you have right now will still have the same effect. Meaning you would still be unconscious if you used the arm that has been on you for…since you were first built. Just keep all this in mind. Because, the Incinerator might still make you unconscious. Be prepared for that if that happens, okay?"
Reg nodded. "I understand." He turned to his friends and said, "This is great. I'll be even stronger now."
"Good," Nanachi said, "because those guys are going to keep coming after Riko, so you need to be in top shape."
Riko is examining Peni Parker's robotic suit, to which she then sees a spider in there. "What's that little guy doing in there?" Riko asked, pointing to the spider.
Peni goes up to them. "Oh, that's my spider. Okay, here's the scoop. That's actually a radioactive spider. I was bitten by him, and somehow, I seem to have a bond towards him. He lives in my suit. Well, my dad's suit, anyways. We're BFFs. Best friends forever."
"Oh, I see. What does the suit do exactly?" Riko asked.
"Well, me and the spider have a kinetic bond with the suit, and so we used it to fight off crimes and all. It doesn't do much really, just do some good punches and all. It can also shoot out spider-webs as well. I call the suit SP/DR."
The spider made the suit, SP/DR, make a holographic smile.
"It's cute! I love it," Riko said.
SP/DR made a soft smile, liking Riko's words.
"It seems to like you." Peni said.
"I could never imagine something like SP/DR ever existing before. There are so many strange worlds out there," Riko continued. "I hope I can meet more interesting people like you, Peni."
Peni chuckled. "I'm sure you will." She then turned to Reg. "And I'm happy to help with that arm of yours."
Reg nodded. "Trust me, I'm going to be careful with this new arm. I don't want to lose it too."
Peni nodded. "Well, that's done. I might as well send you off. We'll see each other in class though."
"Yes, see you then," Reg said as he, Riko, Nanachi, and Meinya headed out.
Peni sighed. "You should socialize more."
SP/DR smiled.
Sometime later, Ann was going to talk with Gatomon, until she ran into Reg and Faputa, and decided to let them be a part of this group. She goes to both of them. "Reg. Faputa. I might as well fill you in."
"What is that you want to talk about?" Reg asked. Faputa was lying lazily across his head and yawned. She woke up and sat up, giving her full attention.
Later, Ann, Reg and Faputa are now with Gatomon. Ann gives Reg and Faputa the folder. "This is what I give to Gatomon. It has the info about the Light One as we speak."
Reg took the folder and looked through it, skimming over the information on the pages. "Does it have anything about the Whistle Blower too?" he asked.
Ann shook her head. "Sadly I have not been given that info. My partner in this work, Amanda Waller, has given me this info that I shared with Gatomon here." She points at Gatomon. "But, she should be working on getting the info about the Whistle Blower soon. Hopefully. And hopefully the other two Pinnacles."
"There are four Pinnacles then, sosu?" Faputa said as she scratched the back of her head.
"There is. That's why they're called the Four Pinnacles. It's because there are four." Ann said.
"Ah," Faputa's mind was clearly elsewhere. She did her best to pay attention, but she was clearly distracted by something.
Ann notices this. "Are you okay? If it's about your mother being alive, then don't worry. Katy has already sent in a search team to see if she can be found."
Faputa looked surprised but didn't say anything else. She was still unused to others reaching out and showing her kindness that she still felt a little guarded around everyone. "I thought mother was gone," she mumbled to herself.
Ann makes her head go up, like stretching her neck to a certain height, and is at eye level with Faputa. "I know. Trust me. I know what happened."
"You do?" she said, eyes widening. She had no idea that anyone outside of her little group knew about what happened with her mother.
Ann nodded. "She had suffered very, very badly. She got herself turned into a village, and she gave birth to you…to destroy it. Destroy her so she can rest in peace from the ones that caused her pain and suffering. I know what that's like. To have that happened to you. If it were to anyone, the consequences can still stay the same."
"You do know, sosu," Faputa said, her eyes shifting to the ground. She was hopeful that they would find her mother, and she hoped, beyond anything, that she was no longer suffering.
Ann nodded. She stretched her hand out to pet Faputa's head. "Do not worry. We'll find her. I promise."
Faputa turned to Ann and looked at her back. She didn't smile, she wasn't known for smiling too often around those she didn't know that well, but there was clearly a thankfulness in her eyes that was hard to miss.
Ann then recoils her hand and head, then turns back to Gatomon. "It seems that I might have a meeting with Amanda Waller soon. I think you can take care of things from here while I attend this."
Gatomon nodded, and said, "Thank you again, Ann. This helps a lot."
Ann nodded, then she left the room. Katy saw Ann leave, and she went up to Gatomon, Reg and Faputa. "Class is almost about to start. Are you coming?"
The three nodded. "Yes, we're coming," Gatomon said, then turned to Reg and Faputa. "Are you guys ready? Remember Fappy, don't fall asleep."
Faputa stretched and let out a yawn, nearly falling off of Reg. "I'll try, sosu," she said.
"Jeez, you're worse than some of my students." Katy then turns to Gatomon. "So you're calling her Fappy too, huh?" She shrugged. "Doesn't bother me a bit."
"It just rolls off the tongue," Gatomon said with a chuckle.
Katy nodded, then the four left the room.

Post-Credit Scene
STAR Labs
Later, in a science lab, we see a man trying to study some type of animal DNA. "This thing can cause a mutation. I want to know more."
"I'm afraid that won't happen."
The man turned around, and saw the kryptonic-villain, Kryptomites. He injects the man with a syringe, causing the man's eyes to bleed, then he collapses on the table. Kryptomites then grabs the vile. "Genetic mutation. This is what I've been looking for. Something I should work with." He then leaves the room. But, he did send in a signal. And this signal is an 'R.'

And that's a wrap! The opening theme used in this chapter is Mr. Blue Sky by Electric Light Orchestra, to which we don't own. Seems like I'm in a Guardians of the Galaxy mood in music at the moment. Next time, the Agents now have to face off Kryptomites yet again, as he is finding a way to bring about mutant havoc, while an evil entity from Hercules' past comes to kill them off.
See you all in the next chapter of Meta-Verse.
