CHAPTER 67
Jugdral Continent
Jugdral Continent: Kingdom of Verdane
The group of Takuya, Shinya, Koji, Koichi, JP, Tommy, Zoe, Bokomon, Neemon, Goku, Gohan, Goten, Trunks (past and present selfs), Bulma, Krillin, Master Roshi, Piccolo, Yamcha, Tien, Chiaotzu, Serena, Rini, Luna, Artemis, Ami, Raye, Lita, Mina, Luffy, Nami, Chopper, Zoro, Sanji, Liu Kang, Kitana, Kung Lao, Jade, Stryker, Kabal, Smoke, Nightwolf, Nate, Rosa, Cilan, Iris, Axew, N, Stephan and Bianca arrived in an alley from a town.
"Where are we?" Tommy asked while seeing his surroundings.
"I don't know exactly." Nate answered.
"Maybe we should ask the people about this place." Luna suggested.
"You're right." Gohan agreed with the cat.
They went to ask the people to get information about the place.
"They told us that this is the Kingdom of Verdane." Ami said.
"The continent that we are is Jugdral." Liu Kang said.
"Maybe we can find more allies there." Takuya said.
"My big brother is right, then let's go." Shinya agreed with his brother.
They nodded before resuming across the Kingdom of Verdane. However, they walk without calling the attention of the people until arriving at the next zone.
Lake of Verdane
The group was now in a zone close to a lake between the forest.
"The place is quiet here." Iris said while seeing the place.
"It's true." Axew said, popping out from Iris' hair.
They watch their surroundings, the place is really peaceful but they cannot let down their guard. Some members remembered their last encounter with the Ginyu Force or the demons sent by Kibutsuji; then they don't know which known group of villains could appear. Then suddenly the Unversed like Flood, Archraven, Jellyshade, Wild Bruiser, Flowersnake and Turtletoad appeared surrounding the group.
*PRELUDE - WARM BLAZE (FIRE EMBLEM WARRIORS)*
"Heartless…!?" Mina said as they took their fighting stances.
"I don't think so, their symbols look so different from the ones from the Heartless." Koji said while noticing the Unversed's emblem from the Turtletoad.
"Let's get them!" Luffy said.
The Sailor Scouts and Legendary Warriors nodded at each other, knowing that they must transform before fighting against the enemy.
Execute Spirit Evolution… Agunimon!
Execute Spirit Evolution… Lobomon!
Execute Spirit Evolution… Kumamon!
Execute Spirit Evolution… Kazemon!
Execute Spirit Evolution… Beetlemon!
Execute Spirit Evolution… Loweemon!
Execute Spirit Evolution… Grumblemon!
The Legendary Warriors were ready to fight.
"Moon Crisis Power Make Up!" Serena and Rini said.
"Mercury Crisis Power Make Up!" Ami said.
"Mars Crisis Power Make Up!" Raye said.
"Jupiter Crisis Power Make Up!" Lita said.
"Venus Crisis Power Make Up!" Mina said.
They went to their Sailor Scout forms now ready to fight.
"Let's do this!" Goku said.
The enemies attacked but the heroes dodged and the heroes attacked the enemy troops, Agunimon uses Pyro Tornado, Lobomon uses Lobo Kendo, Kumamon uses Crystal Breeze, Kazemon uses Hurricane Wave, Beetlemon uses Thunder Fist, Loweemon uses Shadow Meteor, Grumblemon uses Seismic Sledge, Goku, Gohan and Goten fired shots of ki, Future Trunks attacks by using his sword launching sword beams of ki, Present Trunks uses Kamehameha, Tien uses Tri-Beam, Piccolo uses Special Beam Cannon, Krillin uses Destructo Disk, Master Roshi attacks by swinging his cane, Chiaotzu uses drill-like strike with his own head, Yamcha performs palm strikes, Sailor Moon uses Moon Tiara Action, Sailor Mini Moon uses Pink Sugar Heart Attack, Sailor Mercury uses Shabon Spray Freeze, Sailor Mars uses the Fire Bird Soul, Sailor Mars uses Supreme Thunder Dragon, Sailor Venus uses Venus Crescent Beam Shower, Chopper transformed to his bigger form before ramming the enemies, Luffy uses Gum-Gum Bullet, Zoro uses Purgatory Onigiri and Sanji uses Mouton Shot, Liu Kang uses High Fireball and Bicycle Kick, Kung Lao uses Hat Toss and a Spin attack, Kitana uses Square Boost in the air before swinging her fans against the enemies, Jade uses Staff Overhead and Boomerang, Stryker shoots bullets from his guns and tosses a grenade against the enemies, Kabal uses Nomad Dash and Plasma Blast, Smoke uses Smoke Cloud and Air Throw, Nightwolf transformed into a wolf before lunging against the enemies to bite them, Nate called Samurott to use Razor Shell, Scald and Megahorn against the enemies, Rosa called Serperior to use Leaf Blade, Iron Tail and Energy Ball, Iris called Excadrill to use Metal Claw and also learned to use Smart Strike with the metal horn from his head, Cilan called Pansage to use Bullet Seed, N called Zoroark to use Night Slash, Bianca called Emboar to use Flamethrower and Stephan called Sawk to use Karate Chop. However more enemies appeared, and then Nate and Rosa nodded each other before calling Galvantula and Emolga.
"Use Discharge!" Nate and Rosa commanded their Pokémon.
Both flying squirrel and tarantula Pokémon unleashed a discharge from their bodies to zap the last Unversed.
*ENDS*
All the Unversed were defeated, the Legendary Warriors reverted to their regular forms, also Nightwolf reverted to his human form, then Rosa and Nate gave a high five to each other.
"It's evaluation time!" Cilan said after seeing the battle style of Nate and Rosa.
"Evaluation time?" Present Trunks spoke.
"He always does that when he sees the battle styles from every trainer." Iris answered to clear doubts.
"Nate and Rosa had interesting flavors when they worked in a team; and each one of them has a very pleasing taste." Cilan explained while evaluating the battlestyle of Nate and Rosa. "Both Samurott and Serperior, both Pokémon, have a lot of combat experience. Also Emolga and Galvantula made a great duo in tag battles with both being electric type Pokémon."
"Thank you, Cilan." Rosa said, grateful for the compliment as Nate nodded with a smile.
"So, how did you two get Samurott and Serperior?" Cilan asked both trainers.
"Now that I remember, some days after the Unova League, I was sent by Professor Juniper to Aspertia City to give one of the three starters to Nate and Rosa." Bianca explained about how Nate and Rosa got their starters (in Pokémon Black/White Version 2 Bianca comes to Aspertia City).
"I chose Serperior when she was a Snivy." Rosa said as she petted her first Pokémon.
"I chose Emboar when he was a Tepig, but later when Samurott was as Oshawott he started to follow me and Professor Juniper gave Oshawott to me." Nate explained how he got Samurott.
"I think it is like seeing Ash's Oshawott." Iris said, comparing the known Oshawott with the other who has now an adult-like evolved form.
"I didn't know that Oshawott decided to follow a Pokémon trainer just like I did before when I was an Oshawott." Samurott spoke, astonished by hearing a Pokémon from his evolutive chain with one thing in common.
"The trainer from that Oshawott has a Snivy too." Serperior said, clearly remembering Ash's Pokémon team used in the Unova region.
Normally the Pokémon trainers receive a starter Pokémon before starting a journey, one is a grass type while the others are water and fire, a case of a Pokémon choosing a trainer by itself is weird, but Pokémon are like people in that they are free to make decisions for themselves. Speaking of Snivy, what was her story before meeting Ash, how she was abandoned?
Later the Pokémon Trainers returned their Pokémon inside their Pokéballs, except for Axew.
"I wonder how those Unversed appeared here?" JP asked, referring to the monsters surged from negative emotions.
"I could feel that those Unversed were manifested from darkness created by negative emotions." Koichi explained to the group.
"How do you know how to identify the darkness from those monsters?" Krillin asked, a bit shocked.
"After being released from Velgemon's Digi-Spirit, just when we were fighting against Cherubimon, the Digi-Spirit of Duskmon changed into Loweemon, that was how I learned to identify the types of darkness, that darkness is used to help the people." Koichi explained his experience with darkness, he is very similar to Riku.
"The coast is clear, let's keep going." Sailor Jupiter said and they nodded before going towards the next zone.
Kingdom of Agustria
The group was now in a forest with some houses around the place.
"That should be another part from Jugdral." Nami said.
They continued advancing until they saw two people, one is a young man with blue hair and an outfit similar to the one from Marth but he has white boots, the other is a young woman with white hair and she is wearing white priestess' clothes, both were surrounded by the Unversed like Flood and Wild Bruiser, Dusk Nobodies and Corrupts Vilemon.
*DANCE TO THE DEATH (KINGDOM HEARTS 2.5 REMIX)*
"They need help!" Bianca said.
"Let's go there!" Stephan said and they nodded before going to help.
Back with the two people, the young man similar to Marth is holding a Falchion sword.
"Seliph, do you know where those monsters came from?" The young woman in priestess' clothes asked.
"I don't know, Julia." The young man called Seliph replied.
Just as the enemies were going to attack, the children transformed into the Legendary Warriors in their human forms appeared using their attacks and defeated the enemies.
"Who are you all!?" Seliph asked, pointing his sword at the group of Digimon.
"Whoa man! We're the good guys!" Beetlemon justified.
"Are you sure?" The young woman called Julia asked.
"Yeah, it's true." Kazemon answered.
The two people believed the words of the children transformed into Digimon. However, more enemies appeared surrounding the heroes.
"I'm not used to fighting just like you yet." Shinya as the Warrior of Earth spoke to the Warrior of Fire.
"Don't worry, you'll get used to it." Agunimon reassured him.
"Let's do this!" Kumamon said.
The enemy troops attacked but they dodged the attacks, Agunimon uses Pyro Darts, Lobomon uses Howling Laser, Loweemon uses Shadow Lance, Kumamon uses Blizzard Blaster, Kazemon uses Tempest Twist, Beetlemon uses Lightning Blitz, Grumblemon dug to the ground and popped out multiple times while bashing the enemies with his hammer, the Z-Fighters dodged the moves of the enemies before kicking or punching them, the Sailor Scouts use martial arts moves, even Rini too despite being the younger of the Sailor Scouts and has less experience, but she received help from Present Trunks and Goten and the three kids nodded each other before resuming in the fight, Luffy uses Gum-Gum Bazooka, Zoro uses Three Billion Worlds, Sanji uses Table Manner Kick Course, Nami uses Thunderbolt Tempo, Chopper transformed into his human form he used Heavy Gong, the EarthRealm Warriors use their basic moves like punches, kicks and uppercuts, Nate called Hydreigon to use Dragon Pulse, Rosa called Swanna to use Air Slash, Cilan called Crustle to use Rock Wrecker, Iris called Emolga to use Hidden Power, N called Carracosta to use Waterfall, Bianca called Minccino to use Hyper Voice, Stephan called Zebstrika to use Shock Wave, Seliph slashes vertically the enemies with the Tyrfying Sword and Julia uses Wind Magic with her tome to defeat the last enemies.
*ENDS*
The Pokémon who were called outside were returned inside their Pokéballs and the Legendary Warriors reverted to their regular forms, even Chopper returned to his small size, Seliph and Julia were surprised to see human children transforming into digital creatures, but they recomposed themselves.
"Thanks for the help." Seliph told the group.
"The thanks are unnecessary." Piccolo said.
"Well, helping people is what we know how to do but I specialize in rescuing damsels." Sanji said, flirting with Julia until Nami pulled Sanji by the ear.
"I suppose some things don't change on you, Sanji!" Nami said as everyone watched the scene.
"So, where do you all come from?" Julia asked.
"It's a long story." Luffy answered.
They explained the situation and introduced themselves too.
"I see, that explains why those monsters appeared here." Julia said, realizing about the enemy troops.
"We will need the help of Leif, he is my cousin." Seliph said, thinking of a member of his family.
"We will need all the possible help." Julia said and they joined the group.
"So, which part of Jugdral is Leif?" Koji asked, trying to know the whereabouts of Leif.
"In the kingdom of Thracia." Seliph answered.
Then they follow Seliph and Julia to the next zone from the continent.
Mountainous Zone Between Agustria and Grandbell
The group was now in the mountains.
"The kingdom of Grandbell is there after passing the mountains." Seliph told the group.
Apparently he knows about the continent. Therefore, they are following the blue-haired swordsman. However, different enemies like Stalfos, Tektite, Rex, Shy Guys with cannon-like hats called Boom Guys, Tanoomba, Pompey, ghosts armor wielding axes called Phantom and Gorgons appeared surrounding the allies.
"We got company!" Stryker said.
The team went to fight against the enemy troops, Seliph performs Brash Assault to slash multiple times at the enemies, Julia casts Nosferatu to attack with Light Magic, and the others do their usual attacks until they defeat all the enemies.
"Now we can continue." Kung Lao said.
They nodded before continuing across the mountainous zone.
Kingdom of Grannvale
Now the team was in a valley with few houses around the place which seems peaceful but not enough to down the guard. Meanwhile in some trees from a forest a Dimensional Rift appeared which came out two beings, one is a green humanoid with gold armor pieces and the second figure is a human girl with blue hair and wearing a purple suit covering her entire body.
"Where are we?" The green humanoid spoke.
"Wait up." The girl spoke to the green humanoid who turned to see the girl. "I heard it all about it. Reckless as ever, huh, Kurino?"
"Huh… Sabine?" The green humanoid called Kurino guessed the name of the purple-suited girl called Sabine.
"I was talking with the Chief, I heard that Ishtar didn't want Sandra to get involved in all of this again." Sabine said.
"Yeah… The same events are happening again, the ones where we met Klonoa, Gantz, Gilgamesh and Ki." Kurino agreed while remembering events from the past.
"Do you still remember this is coming from the man they once called Hero?" Sabine asked him.
"Yeah, but titles are meaningless." Kurino replied before explaining. "Back then when they saved me in that pyramid in the Enen desert I… decided that I'd devote my life to my family and to Lady Valkyrie, the rest of my life."
"Hmph! Ain't that good?" Sabine asked before saying. "You ended up walking alone with just armor and a spear… pitiful."
"No, I'm grateful to him." Kurino said. "He cast me out of the village… without branding me a traitor to my people, and told me to not worry about my family, I'm grateful."
"Always alone, aren't you? Even when you saved me and my mom, you'd do it on your own, and you went off alone to the Phantom Tower." Sabine said, a bit sad.
"That's all in the past." Kurino sighed before saying. "Well, we are gonna need help from them again."
"Are you talking about the heroes from other worlds?" Sabine asked.
"Yes, I think we can find them if we explore this unfamiliar place." Kurino suggested.
"Gee, same direction as me." Sabine said with a small smile.
"No way, Sabine!" Kurino said encouraged. "We saved the worlds before, I'm not a traitor anymore and there is no reason to make you one."
"What? I go where I want, when I want. Period. Just don't be surprised if that's where you're going, too." Sabine said.
"Boy, I remember those words clearly." Kurino said apparently with a smile, even if doesn't have his mouth visible.
"Heh, however, it's all in the past." Sabine said and they decided to explore the new place waiting to find old or new allies.
Meanwhile back with the group.
"Are we there yet?" Neemon asked.
"Not yet." Seliph answered.
But suddenly cubic Slimes and ChuChus (green, fire, ice and electric ones).
"Okay, things are getting weirder." Shinya said.
"Yeah, no kidding." Tommy agreed.
"Those monsters look dangerous." Luna said.
"It's true I can feel dark ki from them." Goku said feeling the dark energy from the slime-like enemies.
"Hello little slimes! It's time to beat you all!" Sailor Venus said.
*WITH THE WILL (DIGIMON FRONTIER)*
Then Takuya, Zoe, Tommy and Koichi Spirit Evolved to the Legendary Warriors in their human selves while the others went to the beast forms.
Execute, Beast Spirit Evolution… KendoGarurumon!
Execute, Beast Spirit Evolution… MetalKabuterimon!
Execute, Beast Spirit Evolution… Gigasmon!
The slime-like enemies attacked simply by bouncing towards the heroes' group but they dodged the easy-looking attacks, Agunimon uses Pyro Tornado and Pyro Darts, Kazemon uses Hurricane Wave and Tempest Twist, Kumamon uses Crystal Breeze and Frozen Tundra, Loweemon uses Shadow Lance and Shadow Meteor, KendoGarurumon uses Militant Attack and Lupine Laser, MetalKabuterimon uses Gigantic Impact and Bolo Thunder, Gigasmon uses Quagmire Twister and Tectonic Slam, Supers Sailor Moon and Sailor Mini Moon use Moon Gorgeous Meditation, Sailor Mercury uses Shine Aqua Illusion, Sailor Mars uses Burning Mandala, Sailor Jupiter uses the Jupiter Thunderclap Zap/Sparkling Wide Pressure, which she summons a big thunder ball. Mina uses the Venus Love Chain, the Z-Fighters use their art martial moves against the slime-like enemies, Liu Kang tosses fireballs, Kung Lao tosses his hat, Kitana tosses her fans and return to her like boomerangs, Jade tosses her sharp boomerang, Stryker tosses grenades, Kabal uses Gas Blast, Nightwolf launches electrified arrows, Smoke uses Smoke Cloud, Axew uses Dragon Rage, Cilan called Stunfisk to use Mud Bomb, Bianca called her Escavalier to use Fury Attack, Stephan called Liepard to use Thunder Wave and Shadow Claw, Nate called his Emboar to use Brick Break and Flamethrower, Rosa called Mienshao to use Aura Sphere and Acrobatics, N called Archeops to use Rock Slide and Dragon Claw, Luffy uses Gum-Gum Red Hawk to set his arm on fire and punches the enemies, Zoro uses 1080° Pound Phoenix to spin his two swords forward, releasing a horizontal tornado and Sanji uses Veau Shot to jump into the air and delivers a powerful kick.
"That seemed so easy." Neemon said while seeing how the slime-like enemies were being defeated.
However, more enemies like Winged Mothulas along with Corrupts Flymon and Flybeemon and Heartless like Wyvern and Tailbunker appeared.
"There's more of them?" Julia asked.
"Now we have Heartless and Corrupts Digimon too…!" Kumamon said.
"Probably there will be more enemies after defeating those ones." Artemis said.
They continued fighting against the enemy troops, even Goten and Sailor Mini Moon combined Ki Blasts and Pink Sugar Heart to hit the enemies, Goku and Sailor Moon combined Kamehameha and Moon Gorgeous Meditation, Gohan and Sailor Mercury combined Masenko and Mercury Aqua Rhapsody, Agunimon and Kazemon combined Pyro Tornado and Hurricane Wave, KendoGarurumon and Loweemon combined Lupine Laser and Shadow Meteor, their combined attacks managed to defeat more enemies. However, more enemies like Darknuts, Lycan Darknuts, Iron Knuckles, golden armored knights equipped with ball and chains called Ball and Chain Soldiers.
"How many of them do we have to face them!?" Super Sailor Moon asked in complainment.
"Just we have to fight until the end!" Sailor Mars told her.
"Sailor Mars, we must keep fighting against those monsters!" Goku reassured her and the Moon Princess nodded, knowing that their teamwork will be able to defeat the enemies.
Then Kurino and Sabine arrived in time for the battle.
"Those must be blue knights. I knew it." Kurino said, but mistaking the blue-armored Darknuts with enemy knights.
"Someone else's here!" Kabal said noticing Kurino and Sabine.
"Selpih, that one wears golden armor." Julia said and they saw the green humanoid with golden armor.
"I have never seen those people before." Kurino said, clearly it is his first time meeting new people. "What are they doing here?"
"We are fighting against those monsters!" Future Trunks answered, referring to the knight-like enemies.
"Okay, we'll help you guys too!" Kurino said, clearly, that he and Sabine will join the battle.
Then Kurino swings his spear to hit the enemies while Sabine uses a dagger to slash the enemies, Kurino spins his spear like a propeller to hit repeatedly the enemies and casts Tornado and Sabine casts a Fireball to hit the enemies while the others use their known or usual attacks against the enemies.
*ROWDY RUMBLE (KINGDOM HEARTS 2.5 REMIX)*
This time Moos appeared who were led by Joker.
"Now there are Phantom Beasts!" Sabine said, easily recognizing the enemies from Klonoa's world.
"Oh? That must be the Legendary Warriors and those two shorties again." Joker said seeing the Legendary Warriors along with Kurino and Sabine.
"We meet again, Joker." Kurino said, easily recognizing the villain while glaring at him.
"Oh, thank you for remembering my name." Joker said, feeling flattered before changing the subject. "But I'm interested in the Digi-Spirits from those children, orders from Lord Bowser."
Just as he said, Joker wants to get the Digi-Spirits.
"You're gonna have to snatch them from us!" Agunimon said as he and the other Legendary Warriors prepared to face Joker.
"Oh, also I have something for your other friends." Joker said before summoning Heartless like Battleship, Morning Star, Mad Ride, Assault Rider and Bolt Tower.
"We'll take care of the Heartless, you guys must fight against that clown!" Krillin told the Legendary Warriors.
"Defeating you will be very easy." MetalKabuterimon said, facing the harlequin-like villain.
"Appearances are deceiving." Joker said before launching his fists which punched MetalKabuterimon with an unusual strength.
"That guy seems stronger than he looks…!" MetalKabuterimon said before changing the form.
Slide Evolution to… Beetlemon!
Joker launches his fists again but the Legendary Warriors dodged again.
"Heart Tap!" Kazemon said using her attack against Joker and appeared with hearts instead of his eyes.
"Pyro Darts!/Blizzard Blaster!" Agunimon and Kumamon said using their attacks which hit Joker.
"I think it is time to level up!" Joker said before transforming into his monstrous form (just like in Klonoa: Door to Phantomile).
Then Joker attacks by slamming his tentacles and hitting them, luckily the warriors still have energy.
"He is so strong…!" Kazemon said while getting up.
"Yeah, but we cannot give up…" Agunimon reassured her.
"You're right." She nodded.
Then they went to their beast forms.
Slide Evolution to… BurningGreymon!
Slide Evolution to… Zephyrmon!
"Wildfire Tsunami!/Hurricane Gale!" BurningGreymon and Zephyrmon combined their attacks and damaged Joker.
"What!? They are so strong…!" Joker exclaimed as he was receiving the attack.
"Tectonic Slam!" Gigasmon followed by using his attack against the mutated harlequin.
"Howling Star!" KendoGarurumon said using his attack which hits Joker repeatedly.
"Crystal Breeze!/Shadow Meteor!" Kumamon and Loweemon used their attacks with both hitting Joker.
"Lightning Blitz!" Beetlemon said using his attack to hit Joker and forcing him to revert to his regular form.
"No way!" Joker exclaimed in disbelief.
Slide Evolution to… Agunimon!
Slide Evolution to… Kazemon!
Slide Evolution to… Lobomon!
Slide Evolution to… Grumblemon!
"Let's finish this! Pyro Tornado!" Agunimon said before using his attack.
"Howling Laser!" Lobomon uses his attack.
"Shadow Meteor!" Loweemon uses his attack.
"Crystal Breeze!" Kumamon uses his attack.
"Hurricane Wave!" Kazemon uses her attack.
"Thunder Fist!" Beetlemon uses his attack.
"Seismic Sledge!" Grumblemon uses his attack but launches the hammer this time.
The seven attacks hit Joker while finishing off too.
*ENDS*
Joker crashed painfully in the ground before getting up and saw the Legendary Warriors surrounding him while the other heroes managed to defeat all the enemy troops.
"I never wanna see you again! Stupid!" Kumamon told the harlequin-like villain who laughed evilly.
"Farewell to all! Adiós!" Joker said before fleeing from the place, but as he was fleeing he remembered the words of one of his opponents, and he said in his thoughts. 'Oh gee, that white teddy bear sounded just like Klonoa!'
The Legendary Warriors reverted to their regular forms while the Pokémon were called back to their Pokéballs, except Axew.
"Looks like they were the last ones." Seliph said.
"Apparently yes." Kurino said while looking at the place.
"So, who are you all?" Sabine asked all the new faces.
After all the introductions, they explained the new duo the actual situation.
"The same events are happening again." Kurino said.
"But this time involves more worlds." Sabine added.
"Yeah, and this time we'll need all the possible help." Sailor Mini Moon said.
"It's true, now we should go towards the Kingdom of Thracia." Seliph said.
After Kurino and Sabine joined the team, the group went towards Thracia.
Fields of Miletos' Kingdom
The group was now in fields which show stone columns, they walked across the place as the Unversed were appearing in their path but they managed to defeat them.
Kingdom of Thracia
The group arrived into another valley with some houses around the place.
"That must be the place." Julia said as she and Seliph watched the place and easily recognized it.
"It's true, we're in the kingdom of Thracia." Seliph said.
They kept walking around the place until they heard a voice.
"Is that you, Seliph?" A male voice asked him.
Then they turned to see a young man with red hair, wearing a blue long-sleeved shirt with white upper armor pieces, white pants and white boots, and he has a sword with a red handle called Bragi Sword.
"Leif, we were looking for you." Seliph told him.
"I see, but what are you doing here?" Leif asked his cousin before turning to see the others. "But who are you all?"
After all the introductions, they explained their recent situation.
"Even if King Bloom and Travant were defeated, new monsters have been appearing here." Leif said.
"Also we don't know if Arvis and Julius were resurrected too, because a witch called Maleficent who is from another world, she has the magic to bring back to life the ones who died." Seliph explained to him about Maleficent's powers since some villains that the heroes faced told the heroes' group that they were revived.
"If King Bloom and Travant are revived, I'll make sure to return them back to the tomb." Leif said that, in case that two known villains are resurrected.
With that said, Leif joined the team.
"So, where are we going now?" Bokomon asked.
"Now we must go towards the kingdom of Silesse." Seliph answered and they nodded.
EarthRealm: Jinsei Chamber
Meanwhile Raiden was meditating until he had visions about him in the company from the other heroes.
"Strange visions… again…" The god of thunder said, feeling that he had visions previously, then he picked up his amulet before seeing it. "This is weird, the amulet is not cracked yet."
Raiden started to remember part of his past, but the parts where he had visions from the future past, first in Shang Tsung's island during the tenth Mortal Kombat tournament to defend EarthRealm, eventually he had another vision about Liu Kang beating Shang Tsung, another where Kung Lao fights against a Tarkatan warrior called Baraka, one where Scorpion killed Sub-Zero (Bi-Han) and became into a shadowy version of himself called Noob Saibot, after Liu Kang defeated Shang Tsung EarthRealm was safe but the amulet was cracked there, later they accept another Mortal Kombat tournament in Outworld where Raiden had vision about Sonya Blade being executed in the coliseum and another where Smoke is turned into a cyborg, despite winning the tournament Kung Lao was killed by the emperor of Outworld, Shao Kahn. But even if EarthRealm won again, the amulet cracked up again and the troops of Outworld were invading EarthRealm, Raiden had another vision about Motaro killing Johnny Cage until Raiden decided to fought against the centaur until to kill him while saving another life, then he had another vision about a vortex absorbing the souls of EarthRealm but despite stopping the vortex the future didn't change yet, those visions showed him the events from the future but at the same time it was risky to change the past because it could damage the future too.
"All this time, the answer was Shao Kahn." Raiden said, realizing the answer but paying a huge price, the lives of the EarthRealm's warriors, and he looked up at his amulet again. "I'll go to speak with the Elder Gods."
Then Raiden teleported to see the Elder Gods.
Altar of the Elder Gods
Raiden appeared in the altar (just like the place during a cutscene of Mortal Kombat 2011) where projections of seven people appeared there.
"Elder Gods, I beseech you. EarthRealm not only is in danger, but also implies the other realms and worlds too." Raiden explained the situation to the deities of EarthRealm.
"We are aware of your plight, Raiden." The Elder Gods spoke in unison.
"Then you must punish the being who sent those crystal shards, they're hurting the people of EarthRealm too." Raiden requested to them.
"We cannot, the identity of that being is not from the known realms. However, only the defeat of that being can restore the realms too." The Elder Gods explained to him.
"Many innocent lives were lost by Shao Kahn, I cannot let that happen again." Raiden told the Elder Gods.
"The legend about the heroes who protected the Aether Kingdom before Shinnok's betrayal is resurrecting, the one who was chosen by the destiny's crest and the Prime of the Omniverse are gathering many heroes, but only the true power of the Moon Princess can save all the worlds." The Elder Gods explained.
"The legend is resurrecting…?" Raiden asked, waiting for more answers.
"We have spoken, but later we will tell you more answers." The Elder Gods said before disappearing.
The god of thunder watched at his amulet again.
"Almost the same words." Raiden said before remembering his powers to see the future. "Let's see if I can see more visions."
Then his eyes turned bright white as he saw the events from the past (first the events of Mortal Kombat 9), where Shao Kahn was merging Outworld with EarthRealm as Liu Kang (red waistband and red headband) tried to stop the evil emperor but Raiden (usual outfit like in the present) interfered.
"Liu Kang, do not interfere! You cannot fight Shao Kahn!" Past Raiden told him but Past Liu Kang prepared flames in his right fist. "Liu Kang, stop!"
"Enough of your madness. If you must die, so be it!" Past Liu Kang said before jumping and trying to punch Raiden but he defended himself before catching Liu Kang's fist and electrocuting him before launching him.
But somehow the visions changed again (Dead Pool stage; possibly during the events of MK: Shaolin Monks), this time Liu Kang was launched into a sewer-like chamber, the shaolin warrior has a blue instead of red while the god of thunder has red outfit instead of white and blue, Liu Kang landed before facing Raiden who launched a flying kick but Liu Kang intercepted the attack before grabbing Raiden's leg, swing around and toss him.
Raiden crashed against a destroyed pillar above a floating land in ruins (Apokolips stage from Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe), but now his outfit is black while Liu Kang has a white waistband and not headband this time, the Shaolin warrior unleashes fire from his arms hitting the god of thunder who retaliates by launching lightnings, Liu Kang crashed in the ground but he performs an ukemi to recover and fight against Raiden who managed to intercept him before lifting him and toss him to the ground.
As Liu Kang crashed the stage changed again, it was the subway (during the alternate timeline in Mortal Kombat 3), his waistband and headband were now in yellow, also he had yellow wristbands, the Shaolin warrior got up slowly and the god of thunder lunged himself with a flying kick but Liu Kang intercepted him again before launching him.
Raiden crashed into a pillar from a Japanese-themed palace as a green vortex was inside there too (Shang Tsung's Palace; during the events of MK Deadly Alliance).
Raiden landed in the ground, his outfit and hat were black, also his eyes were red like he is darker version of himself, also there is a lot of warriors dead around the field (Pyramid of Argus during the events of Mortal Kombat Armageddon), while Raiden is fighting against Liu Kang who is an undead version of himself who releases fire from his arms to hit Raiden but retaliated by unleashed lightning again, the Shaolin warrior recovered before fighting against the god of thunder before launching him again.
And the same scene repeats itself over and over again but in different time periods, until Raiden came back to the present, realizing one thing in common about the visions and watched at Shinnok's amulet before teleporting again.
Orderrealm
Raiden appeared in another realm which seems like an ancient city and put the amulet of Shinnok on the ground.
"All this time and I didn't discover it until now, myself from the future past have fought against Liu Kang many times, even the one where Liu Kang died." Raiden said before getting a flashback.
Flashback in EarthRealm
Just before meeting the other heroes in the present. In EarthRealm a couple were running away, but the wife was carrying a baby in her arms and she was running away, the baby was crying, the couple kept running until there was no exit, the father of the boy pulled out a knife to fight against three Tarkatan warriors who surrounded the father and slaughtered him to the death, the mother tried to run away from the monsters but she was killed by one Tarkatan, and for make things worse the ruthless Tarkatan snatched the baby before trying to eat him alive, everything seemed lost for the infant but Raiden appeared miraculously between the three Tarkatans, he zapped the two Tarkatan warriors to kill them, he teleported in front the Tarkatan before grabbing the baby and grabs the Tarkatan by the mouth before electrocuting him to death (the scene where the eyes popped out was censored), then Raiden watched at the mother who was holding the mortal injury from her chest.
"Honey… son… little… Liu Kang…" The woman who is Liu Kang's biological mother spoke softly while putting his hand on the cheek of Liu Kang when he was a baby, the mom tried to say her last words but she died due to her injury.
However, Liu Kang was cooing with curiosity as he grabbed Raiden's hand who couldn't but smile at the innocence of a human baby. Then he teleported while bringing Liu Kang safely in his hands and the flashback ended up.
Orderrealm
"Liu Kang… he and Kung Lao… are like my sons…" Raiden said, remembering the day when he saved Liu Kang. "I failed as a father figure, especially for Liu Kang, I won't make the same mistake again."
Then he looked at the amulet of Shinnok to put it in a place where it cannot be grabbed and used for evil purposes before teleporting to help the heroes.
Jugdral Continent: Aed Desert
Meanwhile in the desert, a Dimensional Rift appeared which came out a human boy wearing a blue short-sleeved shirt, dark blue shorts, black shoes, white socks, green backpack and a white hoodie, and he is in the company of a yellow dog.
"Wow, that was a crazy ride, Jake." The human boy told the dog called Jake.
"That's right, Finn." Jake spoke in human language naturally. "It was like traveling to the Dead Worlds, Nightosphere, the demon Kee-Oth's Dimension, the Time Room or the Crystal Citadel."
"Do you know where we are?" Finn asked his dog partner.
"I'll check the place." Jake said before extending his own head at a high altitude, his power was like a rubber band, and he returned to the ground. "The place is nothing like the land of Ooo."
"This is a new place to explore, now that I have my right arm back and now it's adventure time." Finn said.
"I always love when you say that." Jake said before using his four legs to transport Finn in his back, apparently that dog will be very full of surprises.
Now back with the main group, the children chosen by the Digi-Spirits and teenage girls were enduring the desert heat.
"In the desert again…" Tommy said while taking off his hat to wipe the sweat from his forehead.
"Unless we won't hear about a certain pink pony who acts like a five year old who goes crazy during the desert heat…" Sailor Mars said, clearly getting the memory where Pinkie had desert heat madness in the desert of Gallopolis.
"Maybe we should take a small rest there." Takuya said, pointing towards an oasis with some palm trees.
They listened clearly to the suggestion of the wielder of the fire Digi-Spirit. After taking a rest for some minutes, they continued but as they were walking Jake, who was carrying Finn in his back, the human boy noticed the group.
"Look Jake, there are humans down there!" Finn said, pointing to the group.
"Humans…!? Holy Papantla!" Jake exclaims in surprise, then he lowers the height of his legs.
"Since he can do that…!?" Present Trunks asks surprised.
"Is that a dog…!?" Artemis asks, scared before getting above Sailor Venus' head.
"Apparently yes…!" Luna answered, scared before getting above Sailor Moon's head.
"Cats…!" Jake said, noticing the two talking cats.
"Wait, they are Luna and Artemis, don't hurt them." Sailor Moon said, protecting them since the dogs and cats are natural enemies.
"Okay, as you say." Jake said and both cats sighed in relief.
"So, what are your names?" Sabine asked the new duo.
After hearing all the introductions, the huge group explained the situation about the Brotherhood of Evil led by Bowser, the True Organization XIII led by Master Xehanort, the Subspace Army and the Soulless.
"Wow, even if the Lich was turned into a baby, the threats are not over." Finn said.
"Well, what did you wait for? Wherever we go the bad guys always are." Jake told his human partner.
"Yeah, but now we count on the help of more allies." Finn said.
With that said, an adventurer duo joined the group and they went towards the kingdom of Silesse.
Kingdom of Isaach
Meanwhile in another kingdom which shows a valley of grasslands with some parts of lakes with sand at the shores, Raiden appeared with his teleportation skill.
"Where will Liu Kang be? I hope he can accept my apologies." He said before seeing the place.
He went to explore the place but he was surrounded by the Unversed like Flood, Monotrucker, Vile Phial, Sonic Blaster and Axe Flapper.
"Thunder take you!" Raiden said before launching lightning to his left and right.
The Unversed tried to attack the thunder god but he dodged by using his teleporting before using Lightning which sent bolts of lightning, the Torpedo move which he flies at his opponent and pushes them, Shocking Touch which he grabs the opponents and holds them in the air while electrocuting them and then punches them to the ground, he also summoned lightnings literally to zap the Unversed, Rolling Thunder which he forms a small thundercloud at his feet which slowly travels along the place while zapping the enemies and Electric Burst which he slams his staff on the ground, forming lightning around himself and defeating the enemies when they came into contact, he kept fighting until to defeat them all.
"Those creatures weren't Heartless, but they had dark energy too." Raiden said, after defeating the Unversed.
Then he took a flight waiting to find Liu Kang.
Kingdom of Silesse
Now speaking about the Shaolin warrior and champion of Mortal Kombat, he was in the company of the heroes from other worlds. The zone had a lot of snowfields around the place.
"That should be the last place." JP said.
But suddenly the Ginyu Special Forces landed in front of them.
*GINYU SPECIAL FORCES (DRAGON BALL Z)*
"I'm Recoome!"
"Burter!"
"I'm Jeice!"
"Guldo!"
"Captain Ginyu!"
"We are the Ginyu Special Forces!" They said while taking their poses too.
*ENDS*
The group sweat-dropped after seeing their motto again.
"Do you five always have to say your motto?" Koji asked in a deadpan tone to the group of five villains.
"We always do that so that each being of each world recognizes us. However, since Goku is allied with new friends, they are now our enemies too." Ginyu explained.
"Get ready, everybody!" Takuya told the group.
The children Digivolved with their human Digi-Spirits, only Shinya Spirit Evolved to Gigasmon, also the Pokémon Trainers called their Pokémon, Nate called his shiny Garchomp, Rosa called her shiny Dragonite, Iris called her grumpy Dragonite, Cilan called Crustle, Bianca called Escavalier and Stephan called Sawk and N called Zoroark, all of them ready to battle.
"Luckily we count with new troops apart from Frieza's forces." Captain Ginyu said.
Then from a dark corridor soldiers from Frieza's forces appeared, some of them seemed humans while others are aliens from different and unknown worlds, also Revenant, Entombed, skeletons with flaming skulls simulating hair called Bonewalker, skeletons with horns called Wight, Deathgoyle, zombified dragons called Draco Zombie, Arch Mogall, big spider-like creatures called Elder Bael, warg-like creatures called Mauthe Doog, and Heartless like Sergeant, Commander, Lance Soldiers and Armored Knight.
*FIRE FIELD - F-ZERO (SUPER SMASH BROS BRAWL REMIX)*
"We managed to beat you the last time, Ginyu Force, and we can do it again!" Beetlemon said.
"We'll see about that!" Jeice said.
Everyone prepared to fight against the enemy forces.
"Show me what you can do." Liu Kang said.
"For the Shaolin!" Kung Lao said.
"You will learn respect!" Kitana said.
"This will be easy." Jade said.
"Ancestors give me strength." Nightwolf said.
"Where there's smoke there's fire." Smoke said.
"Police brutality coming up!" Stryker said.
"Let's see what you're made of." Kabal said.
Guldo tried to freeze the time but Kabal was really fast to perform Raging Flash to left the down Ginyu Force dizzy and uses Plasma Blast against Guldo, followed by Striker zapping him with his taser and Luffy uses Gum-Gum Gatling Gun against Guldo.
"How I'm being beaten by a boy and two humans!?" Guldo asks in disbelief.
"I was able to defeat a monster of four arms and I didn't recognize my strength that day." Stryker said, sharing a combat experience from the past.
Recoome uses Recoome Eraser Gun but Dragonite uses Flamethrower which collided into an explosion with the enemy attack, then Dragonite reacted fast by using Dragon Rush and strikes Recoome without giving him time to dodge and followed by using Thunder Punch, Gigasmon followed by using Tectonic Slam directly against the bulked Ginyu Force member.
"Atatatatatatatatatatata!" Sawk said using his Close Combat attack, which style is very similar to the one from Kenshiro, and ended up with an upper kick.
"Those creatures are so strong…" Recoome said after witnessing the power of two Pokémon and one Digimon who represents the element of Earth.
Burter performs a hammer-styled punch trying to hit Finn, Jake, Kurino and Sabine but they dodge, then the white-hoodie human pulled out a silver sword with a blue jewel in the handle before triple slashing the blue alien and follows by using a spin slash attack, Kurino followed with a Downward Thrust with his lance, Sabine slashed Burter with her dagger, Kurino spun his lance hitting repeatedly at Burter and followed by casting a tornado, just when he tried to attack, Jake stretched his own body to wrap every part around Burter and causing to punch himself in the face.
"Why did you hit yourself? Why did you hit yourself?" Jake asked the Ginyu Force member.
Jeice uses his Crusher Ball technique but Future Trunks, Seliph and Leif dodge, then the warrior from the future releases a beam sword of ki to hit Jeice, Seliph follows by using Galeforce to perform a quick slash with his sword and uses Brash Assault too, Leif uses Light Brand which attacks with light in his sword to slash Jeice and performs Steady Blow which attacks quickly against the Ginyu Force member.
"Why does the face of that warrior seem very familiar…?" Jeice asked, referring to Trunks from the future, but he doesn't know that he is the son of Vegeta.
Ginyu uses his Milky Way Cannon but the shinies Garchomp and Dragonite dodge, then Garchomp uses Liquidation by summoning a water blade in his right arm while Dragonite uses Dragon Claw with both dragon Pokémon hitting the alien-like soldier, the Shaolin warriors followed by using Dragon Fire and Hat Toss, Kung Lao uses Z Hat which he draws a Z-shape with his fingers and throws his hat which zigzags and hits Ginyu multiple times, Liu Kang uses Double Dragon Kick which he sends a flying double kick and performs Dragon's Tail does a cartwheel kick on his opponent and follows with two elbow strikes and an uppercut. The others were fighting against the enemy troops, then Nate and Rosa nodded at each other.
"Use Draco Meteor!/Hurricane!" Both commanded their respective Pokémon.
The shiny Garchomp prepares an orange sphere of energy in his mouth while the shiny Dragonite flaps her wings strongly to create a tornado which trapped the Special Ginyu Forces and Garchomp launches the sphere into the tornado before spreading into meteorite-like blasts hitting multiple times the Ginyu Force members, Jeice and Ginyu were in feet while Guldo, Recoome and Burter were knocked, the leader focused of Liu Kang despite being a warrior from an alternate version of the Earth, the Shaolin warrior shows a lot of potential.
"Maybe I can swap bodies with that earthling warrior…!" Ginyu said before trying to swap bodies with Liu Kang but suddenly two lightning appeared from nowhere and zapped Ginyu and Jeice knocking them out too.
The one who did the attack was Raiden in person who appeared floating before landing on the ground.
"Lord Raiden…" Liu Kang just said before asking him. "What are you doing here?"
"Fixing my mistake." Raiden said while facing Ginyu and Jeice who tried to attack the god of thunder but he zapped them again.
Then he sends a beam in close range, blinding Jeice before teleporting behind the red-skinned member and elbows his back, the sound of bones cracking up was heard, Raiden follows by teleporting in front of Jeice before delivering a karate chop directly at his opponent's forehead, cracking the skull and he finally sends a bolt of electricity through Jeice's head, making him fall down.
"Why you…!?" Ginyu said trying to punch the thunder god but he caught his fist before electrocuting the captain of the Ginyu Forces.
Then Raiden shoots Ginyu into the air with a blast of lightning causing the opponent to fly up through the clouds, and Raiden follows, grabbing hold of Ginyu's back and releasing a powerful electrical current through the enemy and summons a lightning to shoot Ginyu back down the ground where he bounces off the ground and a few feet into the air and Raiden teleports under the alien before bringing his knee into the opponent's back, the sound of his bones cracking up was heard again, and Ginyu collapsed in the ground tired.
*ENDS*
The other members managed to defeat the enemy troops while the Ginyu Force was laying in the ground, the Digimon reverted back to their human forms and the Pokémon were called back inside their Pokéballs.
"Lord Raiden, what are you doing here?" Liu Kang asked him in surprise, leaving the mistakes in the past.
"Helping you, the last time I not only failed you as your mentor, I failed you as a father. Therefore, I came here to fix my mistakes." Raiden explained his apology to his son-like figure who bowed to his father-like figure as a sign that he accepts his apology, also Kung Lao bowed to Raiden as a sign of accepting the apology too.
Then they turned to see the Ginyu Special Forces who were backing up slowly.
"This is far from over…!" Recoome said.
"Maybe all of you have won the battle, but you will never win the war." Ginyu said before he and the other Ginyu Force members entered the dark corridors.
"Thanks for the help." Leif told the god of thunder.
"Gratitude is unnecessary." Raiden said before explaining the group. "I have foreseen events from the future again and this time are not only connected to EarthRealm's fate, it also involves the fate of other worlds."
"I thought your power to see the future was over." Liu Kang said.
"Shao Kahn and Shinnok are dead, but there is another threat that endangers the fate of all the worlds." Raiden explained about his visions from the future.
"Well, we were going to explain that too." Koichi said.
After the introduction from the newcomers, they explained the situation.
"I see Shang Tsung is allied with the Brotherhood of Evil." Raiden said before turning to see his son-like figure. "Liu Kang, I not only had visions from the future, also from alternate timelines, and in each one, events conspired to bring you and me into conflict. Only we can stop this threat if we follow our heart."
"Is that teaching from the master Bo' Rai Cho?" Liu Kang asked the god of thunder.
"No, Liu Kang. That teaching was from Adan, the father of Caleb." Raiden said.
"So, where are we going now?" Neemon asked about their next place to go.
"I think it's time to return to Aytolis' kingdom." Gohan said and they nodded.
Somehow the visions appeared again, but possibly the details of the prophecy told by Zinnia could give more answers.
Subspace
Back in the Subspace, Kronika, Master Xehanort, Lucemon and Tabuu were seeing the projection about the group who is in Jugdral Continent.
"Looks like Raiden was able to see the truth through the alternate timelines, but he doesn't know that I was pulling him by the strings." Kronika said, being aware of not being discovered by the protector of EarthRealm.
"And at the same time, he mentioned Caleb's predecessor, the person who wielded the same Keyblade and with the passing of the years the son will be stronger than the father." Tabuu said, comparing Caleb's power to his father's.
Now speaking of Caleb, Tabuu changed the projection now showing Caleb having Apple Bloom sit in his right arm before tickling her belly with the fingers from his left hand, she collapses onto her back in his right arm, writhing and squealing with laughter.
"The boy is thinking that his friends are now his family." Lucemon said, sadistically with wishes to destroy Caleb's friends.
"Despite all the suffering from his past, he became stronger." Kronika said, seeing directly at the chosen one by the Destiny's crest.
"It doesn't matter how many allies are recruited by the heroes, the future won't change and the Keyblade War will happen." Master Xehanort said, clearly having the future in his hands.
This is how the future will end, perhaps Master Xehanort will be able to make his dream come true, everything Caleb fought for will disappear, only time can tell.
