BGM: Accordion Brumm (Hollow Knight)

"Ladies and Gentlemen! Welcome to the theater of joy and fear! We will be delighted if you take your seat and relax as we prepare for our performance! I am your host for this evening, Grimm, as we shall take you on a journey through happiness and pain! Welcome, my friends! Welcome to-"

SUPER RWBY SISTERS: FANTASIA

Grimm appeared on the conductor's platform as his followers down below clapped and roared at his entrance. He bowed to them as he conjured a baton on his left claw.

"Ah video games… Back in the days that we would play them to our hearts content and listen to the music that had enraptured us to be mesmerized." Grimm said as he straightened himself back up.

"Let us begin with a song that has been recent that most of you should remember." He said as he waved his baton. Instruments began to appear onstage as they waited to be played upon his command. The red curtains began to rise as the torches around the theater began to dim. A giant lantern carrying a red flame descended from the ceiling as Grimm began to play.


In New Donk City…

SONG: JUMP UP SUPER STAR(SUPER MARIO ODYSSEY)

On top of city hall, Mayor Pauline looked at her band members as they were rehearsing for the festival that comes every month. Smiling, she knew she wanted to impress Mario after all the years he had done to save her from Donkey Kong, who she too wanted to thank for.

Recently, she had asked for the Red Italian Plumber's help to herd a T-Rex into the city. Of course, Mario and the resident themselves were wondering if Pauline had finally lost her marbles but it became a big attraction despite others feeling that this might become Jurassic Park if the T-Rex got out.

"Mayor Pauline, are you ready!" The band member that was playing the saxophone asked as the other members were waiting on her signal.

Pauline walked to the stage as she grabbed the microphone. She smiled as she began to pour her heart and soul to the song that she prepared for Mario, Donkey Kong, and her reunion.

"Hit it boys!"

The music begins to swell as the saxophone and trumpets blared. The drums were now being hit. And the guitar now revs as Pauline begins to sing.

"HERE WE GO, OFF THE RAILS! DON'T YOU KNOW IT'S TIME TO RAISE OUR SAILS? IT'S FREEDOM LIKE YOU NEVER KNEW!" Pauline sang as the trumpets blew to the beat.

"DON'T NEED A BAG- OR A PASS! SAY THE WORD, I'LL BE THERE IN A FLASH. YOU COULD SAY MY HAT IS OFF TO YOU!" Pauline continued to sing. Unknown to her, a crowd began to form before the stage as the band members smiled at their audience.

"OH, WE CAN ZOOM ALL THE WAY TO THE MOON FROM THIS GREAT WIDE WACKY WORLD! JUMP WITH ME, GRAB COINS WITH ME, OH YEAH!" She continued to sing as the electric guitar and brass instruments began to play louder.

"IT'S TIME TO JUMP UP IN THE AIR! (JUMP IN THE AIR!) JUMP UP, DON'T BE SCARED (JUMP UP, DON'T BE SCARED!) JUMP UP AND YOUR CARES WILL SOAR AWAY! (OOOOO~!)" As Pauline sang, a female choir appeared behind her as they sang along.

"AND IF THE DARK CLOUDS START TO SWIRL (DARK CLOUDS START TO SWIRL), DON'T FEAR, DON'T SHED A TEAR 'CAUSE I'LL BE YOUR 1-UP GIRL! SO LET'S ALL JUMP UP SUPER HIGH! (JUMP UP SUPER HIGH!) HIGH UP IN THE SKY! (HIGH UP IN THE SKY!) THERE'S NO POWER-UP LIKE DANCING!"

"YOU KNOW THAT YOU'RE MY SUPERSTAR! (YOU'RE MY SUPERSTAR!) NO ONE ELSE CAN TAKE ME THIS FAR! I'M FLIPPING THE SWITCH, GET READY FOR THIS! OH, LET'S DO THE ODYSSEY!" Pauline sang as the crowd began to dance.

"ODYSSEY, YA SEE! ODYSSEY, YA SEE! ODYSSEY, YA SEE! ODYSSEY, YA SEE! ODYSSEY, YA SEE! ODYSSEY, YA SEE! ODYSSEY, YA SEE! ODYSSEY, ODYSSEY!" Businessmen and women partnered up as they danced to the beat. Some of them honk their cars to match the trumpets while others dance on telephone and traffic poles.

"SPIN THE WHEEL, TAKE A CHANCE! EVERY JOURNEY STARTS A NEW ROMANCE! A NEW WORLD'S CALLING OUT TO YOU!" As Pauline sang again. The crowd began to breakdance on the floor while others performed stunts such as jumping over the breakdancers.

"TAKE A TURN! OFF THE PATH! FIND A NEW ADDITION TO THE CAST, YOU KNOW THAT ANY CAPTAIN NEEDS A CREW! TAKE IT IN STRIDE AS YOU MOVE, SIDE TO SIDE THEY'RE JUST DIFFERENT POINTS OF VIEW! JUMP WITH ME, GRAB COINS WITH ME, OH YEAH!" Some of the crowd began to act like Mario as they started to wall-jump, jumping to hit brick blocks, and grab coins.

"COME ON AND JUMP UP IN THE AIR! (JUMP UP IN THE AIR!) JUMP WITHOUT A CARE (JUMP WITHOUT A CARE!) JUMP UP 'CAUSE YOU KNOW THAT I'LL BE THERE! (OOOOO~!)" Pauline sang again as the female choir jumped in. "AND IF YOU FIND YOU'RE SHORT ON JOY! (FIND YOU'RE SHORT ON JOY!) DON'T FRET, JUST DON'T FORGET THAT YOU'RE STILL OUR 1-UP BOY!"

"SO GO ON, STRAIGHTEN UP YOUR CAP! (STRAIGHTEN UP YOUR CAP!) LET YOUR TOES BEGIN TO TAP! (TOES BEGIN TO TAP!) THIS RHYTHM IS A POWER 'SHROOM! DON'T FORGET YOU'RE THE SUPERSTAR (YOU'RE THE SUPERSTAR!) NO ONE ELSE COULD MAKE IT THIS FAR! PUT A COMB THROUGH THAT 'STACHE. NOW YOU GOT PANACHE. OH, LET'S DO THE ODYSSEY!"

The trumpets blared louder as the music roared. The crowd cheered and danced as Pauline began to reach the last verse of the song.

"IT'S TIME TO JUMP UP IN THE AIR! (JUMP UP IN THE AIR!) JUMP UP, DON'T BE SCARED! (JUMP UP, DON'T BE SCARED!) JUMP UP AND YOUR CARES WILL SOAR AWAY! (OOOOO~!)" Pauline sang vigorously with the choirs singing along behind her. "AND IF THE DARK CLOUDS START TO SWIRL (DARK CLOUDS START TO SWIRL), DON'T FEAR, DON'T SHED A TEAR 'CAUSE I'LL BE YOUR 1-UP GIRL!"

"NOW LISTEN, ALL YOU BOYS AND GIRLS! (ALL YOU BOYS AND GIRLS!) ALL AROUND THE WORLD! (ALL AROUND THE WORLD!) DON'T BE AFRAID TO GET UP AND MOVE! YOU KNOW THAT WE'RE ALL SUPERSTARS! (WE'RE ALL SUPERSTARS!) WE'RE THE ONES WHO MADE IT THIS FAR. PUT A SMILE ON THAT FACE, THERE'S NO TIME TO WASTE, SO LET'S DO THE ODYSSEY!"

The guitarist jammed his electric guitar one final time as the crowd danced and cheered as the music ended.

SONG: END

The crowd cheered which caused Pauline to stop singing and looked shocked at the audience that were attracted by the song.

"What the-" Pauline was confused as the crowd cheered for her.

"That was beautiful, Mayor Pauline!"

"That was great!"

"I will vote for you again for the next election, Mayor Pauline!"

"Encore! Encore! Encore!" The crowd cheered and praised her as Pauline chuckled.

"Are you ready for one more round?" Pauline asked the band members who smiled.

"Ready as you are, Mayor!" The drummer shouted as the music played once more.

Pauline looked up at the starry sky as she smiled. 'Mario, Donkey Kong, I know the two of you are having the times of your life and I am glad that you guys helped me shape my future. I hope one day we can meet each other again like the good ol' times.'


In Planet Popstar…

SONG: WELCOME TO THE NEW WORLD! (KIRBY AND THE FORGOTTEN LAND)

Upon a giant stage that rested under the night sky, Waddle Dees, Bonto Burts, Scarfies, Cappies, Poppy Bros, Kabus, Glunks, Gordos, and Awoofys gathered around as they quietly sat down.

As the curtain rose, spotlights filled the stage as familiar characters from different Kirby games were now seen holding an instrument.

King Dedede held a tamborine, Bandana Waddle Dee was by the drums, Meta Knight held a trumpet, Daroach and the Squeak Squad held individual electric guitar, drums, speakers and a synthesizer, Taranza was playing the electric piano, Susie was holding the violin, Marx held a trumpet, Magalor held an electric guitar, Dark Meta Knight also held a trumpet, Adeleine and Ribbon were standing by a nearby microphone with the Mage Sisters and Hyness.

By the edge of the stage, Elfilin was by a standby microphone as he waved to the audience before he started to sing.

"STRANGE HORIZON. READY TO GO. FEAST YOUR EYES ON THE NEW WORLD!" Elfilin sang as the crowd roared. "A NEW DREAMLAND. A PLACE WHERE YOU'LL LAUGH AND SMILE. ALONG THE WAY, STUFF YOUR BELLY AND NAP A WHILE. NO ONE CAN HOLD YOU BACK. NEW FIELDS FULL OF MYSTERY. THE SKY'S OPENED UP, AND THERE'S SO MUCH TO SEE."

"RUNNING WILD! JUST LET YOUR HEART TAKE THE WHEEL AND SHOW YOU THE WAY. FRESH SPRING BREEZE! ADVENTURE IS AWAITING YOU IN THE FIELDS OF A NEW WORLD!"

The crowd began to cheer as Susie and Bandana Waddle Dee played their instruments louder.

"STRANGE EMOTION. WHAT DO YOU FEEL? THE ROARING OCEAN OF A NEW WORLD!" Elfilin sang in stereo. "DON'T BE AFRAID. FACE YOUR FEARS- YOU'LL HUNGER FOR MORE. THE TENSION BUILDS; PLUNGE AHEAD ON THIS THRILLING TOUR. THINK OF THE FRIENDS YOU'VE MADE, ALL OF THEM LIVING FREE. THEIR CARES HAVE BEEN WASHED AWAY BY A WILD SEA!"

"LAUGHING LOUD! EVEN IF YOU'RE FAR APART, THEY'RE RIGHT BY YOUR SIDE. HEARTS FULL OF LOVE! EVERYONE IS WELCOME TO LIVE IN THIS NEW WORLD! RUNNING WILD! JUST LET YOUR HEART TAKE THE WHEEL AND SHOW YOU THE WAY. FRESH SPRING BREEZE! ADVENTURE IS AWAITING YOU IN THE FIELDS OF A-"

Susie then began her guitar solo right as Elfilin stopped singing. The audience cheered for her as they held pink glow sticks dedicated to her.

"OPEN HEARTS ALREADY FLUTTERING FREE AND RIDING THE BREEZE."

"NOTHING BUT LOVE TO SHARE WITH EVERYONE WE KNOW. WHOA! NEW WORLD!" Elfilin sang the final verse as the Star Allies slowly stopped playing their instruments.

SONG: END

The crowd cheered as Elfilin and everyone else bowed to them. They smiled and waved just before Escargoon came to King Dedede.

"Sire, should we bring out the gift now?" He asked.

"Go right ahead!" Dedede smiled which was noticed by Elfilin and everyone else. "Bring it out boys!"

It was then the crowd moved out of the way as a few Waddle Dees carried a giant cake to them before gently laying down by its base. On top of it, it said "Happy Birthday Elfilin!"

"Is- Is this for me?" Elfilin asked to which Dedede laughed.

"Why wouldn't it be? It's been over a year since your game was released and everybody here wanna try to make something special outta it." Dedede said as the Star Allies nodded in confirmation.

"T-Thank you guys!" Elfilin smiled as he hugged Dedede. However, he paused as he realized something.

"By the way, where's Kirby?" Elfilin asked to which the joyful atmosphere dropped a little.

"W-Well-" Adeleine sheepishly laughed. "You do know that Kirby has a tremendous habit of eating nearly any food right?"

"And the fact that this is a giant strawberry shortcake…" Daroach said.

"On a giant stage where we're standing and singing…" Taranza finished the sentence.

"Oh…" Elfilin finally placed the pieces together as he realized what would happen if Kirby was present.

"And don't worry about Kirby, I made sure it would take him a long time to figure out that I staged it!" Dedede said.

"And where exactly did you send Kirby?" Ribbon asked.


With Kirby…

It had been hours since Kirby had chased a small robot carrying a strawberry shortcake all around Remnant, Ylisse, Hoshido, Nohr, Fodlan, the Mushroom Kingdom, Hyrule, Inkopolis, Galar, Alola, and Radiant Garden. Now, the robot was running out of power as its speed was starting to become sluggish.

Kirby, now seeing it as an opportunity to strike, used the Hammer Ability to knock the robot away and grabbed the strawberry shortcake from its grasp.

"Poyo! Poyo!" Kirby smiled as he placed the strawberry shortcake down to eat it. However, just as he was about to inhale it, the cake exploded. The frosting and strawberries flew everywhere as Kirby was completely shell shocked.

But what replaced the cake, however, was a spring loaded sign with Dedede taunting Kirby by blowing raspberries saying "You've been pranked!"

Kirby's eye twitched as he now begins to exact revenge.


Back with the others…

"Y'know you're going to get beaten up after this right?" Marx asked the rhetorical question.

"Who cares, all I know is that the plan was worth it." Dedede said before he shifted his gaze to Elfilin. "You should start eating this cake quick before Kirby comes back."

"Thank you guys!" Elfilin beamed as he zoomed towards the cake to take a nibble.

"Hey, share some for us!" Magalor shouted as everyone else rushed towards the cake to take a piece.


On a giant stage…

SONG: ROAD LESS TAKEN (PERSONA Q2)

The stage lit up as characters from Persona 3, 4, 5, and the spin-offs were now jamming to the beat.

With the trumpets and saxophones, Yosuke, Junpei, Ryuji, Teddie, Ken, Chie, Yukiko, Akechi, Adachi, and Maruki were holding the brass instruments as they blew on it.

On the drums, Kanji, Yusuke, Zenkichi, Sho, Akihiko, and Shinjiro (with a halo on top of his head) were banging the tops and hitting the snares.

With the string instruments such as the violin and bass, Rise, Mitsuru, Fuuka, Naoto, Labrys, Yukari, Aigis, and Makoto were now playing it.

With the electric keyboards and piano, Ann, Morgana, Haru, Futaba, Sophia, Sumire, and Koromaru pressed the keys as they nodded their heads to the music.

To the electric guitars, Minato and Kotone (with halos on their heads), Ryoji, Yu, and Akira were revving up to the beat.

The lead singers by the front of the stage was none other than the Velvet Room attendants plus Jose. These attendants were Elizabeth, Theodore, Margaret, Marie, and Lavenza. Margaret then begins to sing the first verse of the song.

"YOU'RE MOVIE. YOU'RE STORYLINE. ALL DECIDED. BEFORE THE CURTAIN RISES. HOW DOES IT FEEL. TO BE INCLINED. T'WARD FATE SO CERTAIN?" Margaret sang as the drums banged louder and the string instruments playing increased.

"HOW CAN YOU CHANGE A THING IF YOUR LIFE (YOUR LIFE)" Marie sang next with Elizabeth and Jose joined in. "HAS BEEN WRITTEN INTO STONE? (OOOOOO~!)"

"YOUR LIFE'S BEEN WRITTEN INTO PLOTLINES. BY ANOTHER! CAN YOU MAKE IT YOUR OWN?" Lavenza sang as it was then Theodore's time to shine.

"WHAT'CHA GONNA DO? WHAT'CHA GONNA DO? YOUR LIFE PLOT WRITTEN BY SOMEONE LIKE YOU. WHAT'CHA GONNA DO? WHAT'CHA GONNA DO? WILL YOU STAND UP AND FIGHT THROUGH?" Theodore rapped as the trumpets blared louder.

"Whoa…" Kanji was surprised.

"Holy shit, that guy can rap!" Ryuji said.

"How come we never met this guy yet?" Junpei asked.

"Oh shut up and continue playing!" Yukari shouted.

"YOU ARE LOOKING WITHOUT SEEING! IT'S NOT LIKE YOU WERE BLIND. BUT SOMETHING HAD YOU WERE FLEEING!" Margaret, Marie, Elizabeth, and Lavenza sang together.

"FROM WHAT YOU COULD FIND-" Marie sang as Lavenza joined in. "JUST HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT:"

"YOU'RE ALREADY ALWAYS FREE!"

"NOW YOU'RE LOOKING AND YOU'RE SEEING YOUR EVERY CHOICE IS FINE." Elizabeth, Marie, Lavenza, and Margaret said.

"NO PLOT LIMITS YOUR FREEDOM!" Margaret sang.

"AND THE STORYLINE-" Marie said as Elizabeth shouted. "IS YOURS FOR THE MAKING!"

"THE ROAD LESS TAKEN! COULD BE WHERE YOU'RE MEANT TO BE!" The Velvet attendants sang together as the violins, drums, and electric keyboards played.

"COME JOIN ME. I KNOW A PATH. OUT OF THIS MAZE. SO WE CAN BE WHO WE ARE." Margaret sang. "OUR TRUER SELVES. SURE, WE'LL STUMBLE. AND WE MIGHT FALL TOO."

"BUT WE'LL GET UP AND WIPE THE DUST OFF!" (DUST OFF)" Marie, Elizabeth and Jose spoke together. "IT MIGHT TURN TO STARDUST YET."

"THIS NEW ENCOUNTER WILL SET US OFF." Lavenza sang. "ON A NEW PATH. WHERE NEW LIVES INTERSECT!"

"WHAT'CHA GONNA DO? WHAT'CHA GONNA DO? WOULD YOU BE BRAVE ENOUGH TO STAND UP, AGAINST THE RULES?" Theodore rapped. "WHAT'CHA GONNA DO? WHAT'CHA GONNA DO? WOULD YOU JOIN ME AND FIGHT THROUGH?"

"YOU WERE MOVING WITHOUT VISION SOME HIDDEN PUPPETEER. HAD PREDEFINED YOUR MISSION!" Margaret, Marie, Lavenza, and Elizabeth sang together in unison as the brass instruments blared.

"CUT THE STRINGS HE MOVED-" Margaret said.

"AND SUDDENLY YOU PROVED:" Elizabeth smiled.

"YOU'RE ALREADY ALWAYS FREE!" The female Velvet Room Attendants shouted. "NOW YOUR EYESIGHT'S GAIN PRECISION. YOUR EVERY CHOICE IS FINE-"

"AND NO MORE INDECISION!" Margaret sang.

"CUZ' YOUR STORYLINE-" Lavenza sang.

"IS YOURS FOR THE MAKING!" Marie said.

"THE ROAD LESS TAKEN COULD BE WHERE YOU'RE MEANT TO BE!" The female Velvet Room Attendants sang as it was Theodore's turn.

"WE ARE ABOUT TO TAKE THE RIDE AND MULTIPLY. THE PATH AND FRIENDS WE GONNA MULTIPLY. WHAT WAS GIVEN WAS A BIT TOO SHADY IN THE MIND. AND THE ROADLESS PATH WILL BE CONSTRUCTED BY US. I CAN'T GUARANTEE. ANYTHING BUT I KNOW THAT IT WON'T BE TEDIOUS, YES. THE MORE SERIOUS, I SAY TAKE A BREATHER AND CHILL, ENJOY THE RIDE."

"WE GOT UP AND WIPED THE DUST OFF" Marie sang with Jose as the drums were now only playing on a soft hit on the snare

"OUR COURAGE SET US FREE, YEAH" Lavenza said.

"AND NOW OUR LINES-" Margaret spoke first.

"HAVE MET IN TIME-" Elizabeth joined in.

"OUR LIVES INTERTWINED!" The entire Velvet Room Attendants sang together as the drums immediately stopped as they now entered the final verse. The music then intensifies as all the Velvet Room Attendants, plus Jose begin to sing.

"YOU WERE MOVING WITHOUT VISION SOME HIDDEN PUPPETEER. HAD PREDEFINED YOUR MISSION!" The Velvet Room Attendants sang together with Jose joining in.

"CUT THE STRINGS HE MOVED-" Margaret said.

"AND SUDDENLY WE'VE PROVED:" Elizabeth spoke joyfully as the music blared with the trumpets being the loudest.

"WE'RE ALREADY ALWAYS FREE!" It was then everyone from Persona 3, 4, 5, and the spin-offs shouted at once. "NOW YOUR EYESIGHT'S GAIN PRECISION. YOUR EVERY CHOICE IS FINE-"

"AND NO MORE INDECISION!" Margaret sang.

"CUZ' OUR STORYLINE-" Lavenza smiled.

"IS OURS FOR THE MAKING!" Elizabeth sang.

"THE ROAD LESS TAKEN! COULD BE WHERE WE'VE MEANT TO BE!" Everyone sang as Futaba, Ann, Haru, Morgana, Sumire, Sophia, and Koromaru began their piano solo as the music ended.

SONG: END

"THAT WAS GREAT!" Chie shouted enthusiastically.

"Hell yeah, we should've done this a long time ago!" Ann agreed.

"Jeez, you kids sure know how to make the life of the party, eh?" Adachi smiled.

"You do know I have to take you back to your holding cell after this right?" Zenkichi said.

"Yeah, yeah! I know my fun is limited." Adachi waved him off.

"It kinda sucks that some of you guys aren't even in Super RWBY Sisters despite some cameos." Futaba said to the playable and non-playable characters of Persona 3, 4, 5, and the spin-offs.

"It's okay Futaba-chan!" Fuuka spoke to reassure her. "Besides, most of us are grown up now and many of us have important things to do."

"You know that doesn't really raise our hopes up at all." Ryuji said.

"Well, looks like this Sho is over! Better get going to see the next one!" Sho said he began to depart.

'Somehow I'm glad this guy hasn't met Yang yet.' Many of the people, mostly the Phantom Thieves and the Investigation Team, thought in unison.

"So… what about the four of you?" Morgana asked the spectral aspects of Shinjiro, Minato, Kotone, and Ryogi.

"Well, since this is a non-canon story of Super RWBY Sisters, we may as well stay for a couple of chapters to explore." Ryogi explained the obvious with a smile.

"Well I'll make sure he doesn't cause too much damage." Aigis spoke with hostility pinning towards him.

"Oh come now, we're just going to hang out, grab some ice cream, and see what this place has in store! I mean, look over there-" Ryogi pointed towards the ghost of Shinjiro as it was revealed that he was taking his time catching up with Mitsuru, Akihiko, Ken, and Koromaru. "And there's also Minato and Kotone, who I am assuming is the female counterpart and protagonist of Persona 3 Portable. Besides, it's good to let loose and have some fun!"

"I'll take that into consideration Ryogi." Aigis said as she went to the ghost of Minato and Kotone.

Right by the camera that overviews the stage, Metis, a being that was once part of Aigis during Persona 3: The Answer, stood by with a smile on her face as she saw her sister talking to the person(s) that she once lost.

"Um… shouldn't we be also a part of that stage?" A female voice interrupted her as Metis looked down and saw Tatsuya and Maya, the two protagonists of the first two Persona games.

"Unfortunately, the two of you and your games were kinda forgotten to the fact that almost no one remembers you, no offense. And also, we have too many out-of-universe characters that might make this dialogue unnecessary and the sequence too big." Metis explained.

"Then why did the author almost forget about you until he added you at the last minute to talk with us?" Tatsuya asked.

"Someone needs to record the whole thing and it can't be just Deadpool and Ibuki the whole time." Metis said.

"She has a point you know." Maya said to Tatsuya as the three of them resumed watching the cast of Persona 3, 4, 5, and their spin-off characters.


On a DIFFERENT giant stage…

Night has rolled in as everyone who had entered the stage murmured. The spotlight flashed down upon it as everyone stopped and looked forward. It was then they were greeted by Ibuki and Deadpool who was now wearing a tuxedo and a neat bow tie.

"Good Evening, everybody! I am your host for tonight, Deadpool!" He introduced himself on top of the stage with a microphone. "And with me is the co-hostess-"

"Ibuki Mioda!" She shouted through her mic which caused some people to cover their eyes. "Sorry!"

"Anywho… we are proud for you all to show up because tonight on this very stage, a band will perform!" Deadpool announced.

"Is it Sea5on?" One of the bystanders shouted in the back.

"No, and besides, have you even read the previous Super RWBY Sisters: Winter's Dusk chapters yet?" Deadpool asked to which the bystander shook his head.

"And the fact that the author decided to not add them in because "I have plans for them in the future" is what he said." Ibuki explained.

"Anyways, please welcome the cast of Astral Chain!" Deadpool shouted as the curtain parted revealing the main cast of the Astral Chain game.

"Who are you guys?" Another bystander asked.

"Yeah, Ibuki kinda was expecting this…" Ibuki said as she began to introduce them. She began to introduce the two protagonists of the game who are the main singers. "Here are the two male and female protagonists!"

"Hi!" The female protagonist of Astral Chain waved. She was wearing what seems to be a SWAT Team uniform that matches the other three participants.

"What's up!" The male protagonist smiled.

"Aren't one of you supposed to be Akira Howard?" A bystander asked.

"Yeah, but author-chan didn't play this game and didn't choose who would be Akira Howard." Ibuki said.

"Anyways, the drummer and guitarist here are Jin and Alicia." Deadpool introduced them.

"Hey everyone!" Alicia shouted as she banged the drums.

"Good Evening!" Jin pushed his glasses as he readied the electric guitar.

"And the last two pianist and personal synthesizer is Kyle and Hal!" Ibuki shouted.

"Pleasure to meet you all!" A small drone, that was donut shaped with a spherical head and a donut shaped body that was keeping it afloat, shouted.

"What's up!" Kyle, a man in black with a mask displaying a hologram of a face with two x's representing his eyes, greeted.

"Anyways, we kinda recommend you guys to try Astral Chain out despite its shortcomings from Luigi's Mansion 3, Fire Emblem: Three Houses, Super Mario Maker 2, Pokemon Sword and Shield, and other popular and iconic games that had overshadowed it." Deadpool said.

"Anyways, let Ibuki and everyone stand back and watch the performance for tonight!" Ibuki shouted as she and Deadpool left the stage as the crowd became silent.

SONG: SAVIOR (ASTRAL CHAIN)

Jin begins to play the electric guitar with Kyle and Hal joining in pressing the electric keyboard and synthesizer. Alicia then began to play the drums. As the music plays, it was now the Male Protagonist of Astral Chain's turn to sing.

"SKY TURNS WHILE SWALLOWING UP EACH AND EVERY BEING IN THIS TOWN! HOPES, HEARTS, EVERYTHING IS FALLING DOWN!" He sang.

"FAR AWAY IN THE SKYLINE, A CROWD OF APPARITIONS CRAWLING AROUND. IT'S CALLING, IT'S CALLING, GROWING, LOUDER!" The Female Protagonist said.

"ARE WE THE FUTURE OF THIS BURNING HELL?" The Male Protagonist asked.

"IT'S A FIGHT FOR A PARADISE, FIGHT FOR OUR LIFE! SO KEEP HOLDING ON, HOLDING ON UNTIL WE BREAK THE SPELL! FREE YOURSELF, REACH FOR THE LIGHT IN DARKNESS AND DESPAIR. IF THERE COMES A TIME WHEN YOU ARE FALLING DOWN, I'LL BE YOUR SAVIOR!" The two protagonists sang together as the crowd began to jam to the music.

"I know this is cheesy, but I have to admit, this song is good!" One of the bystanders said as he swayed his body to the beat.

"Yeah, I didn't know a song like this existed." Another bystander agreed.

"THE EYES OF THE LIVING DEAD, THE LIES, THAT CRIES WITHOUT A SINGLE SOUND. COLD HEARTS, EVERYTHING IS FALLING DOWN!" The Female Protagonist sang.

"THE WAR IS ON, OUR FATES ARE GONE. ANOTHER REMINISCENCE IS HAUNTING US ALL. IT'S CALLING, IT'S CALLING, OVER AND OVER!" The Male Protagonist jumped in.

"ARE WE THE FUTURE OF THIS BURNING HELL?" The Female Protagonist said.

"IT'S A FIGHT FOR A PARADISE, FIGHT FOR OUR LIFE! SO KEEP HOLDING ON, HOLDING ON UNTIL WE BREAK THE SPELL! FREE YOURSELF, REACH FOR THE LIGHT IN DARKNESS AND DESPAIR. IF THERE COMES A TIME WHEN YOU ARE FALLING DOWN, I'LL BE YOUR SAVIOR!" The two of them sang together. The music intensifies with Jin playing the guitar louder with Alicia, Jin, and Hal following from behind.

"DON'T NEED TO BE AFRAID!" The Male Protagonist sang. "DON'T NEED TO LOOK AWAY! YOU'LL NEVER BE ALONE! LET'S SHOW THEM THAT WE'RE HERE TO STAY!"

"FIGHT FOR A PARADISE, FIGHT FOR OUR LIFE! SO KEEP HOLDING ON, HOLDING ON UNTIL WE BREAK THE SPELL!" The Female Protagonist said as the music slowly died down.

"LET THE TRUTH REVEAL ITSELF! BRING THIS CHAOS TO AN END!" The two protagonists shouted as the music grew louder. "FIGHT FOR A PARADISE, FIGHT FOR OUR LIVES! SO KEEP HOLDING ON, HOLDING ON UNTIL WE BREAK THE SPELL! FREE YOURSELF, REACH FOR THE LIGHT IN DARKNESS AND DESPAIR! IF THERE COMES A TIME WHEN YOU'RE FALLING DOWN, I'LL BE YOUR SAVIOR!"

The crowd cheered as the music intensified. The Male and Female Protagonists smiled as they circled the stage.

"I'LL BE YOUR SAVIOR!" They sang one last time as Jin played his part before he let go of the strings.

SONG: END

The crowd roared for them as the Astral Chain cast bowed their heads. They waved goodbye as the curtains descended, concealing their forms from the audience. Deadpool and Ibuki walked out as they waved towards the crowd.

"Thank you all for coming here today, we hope you guys enjoy the performance!" Deadpool shouted.

"Ibuki hopes that one day we can all see them play again!" Ibuki yelled.

"Until next time!" The two of them waved goodbye.


At the Keyblade Wielder's Base…

SONG: SIMPLE AND CLEAN (KINGDOM HEARTS)

The day was ending and the sun was now setting upon the horizon. Everyone in Toad Town were now retiring for the night as they were all heading home. One building in particular, the home of the Keyblade Wielders, were now preparing for supper and heading off to bed.

On top of its roof, the Princess of Heart and Keyblade Wielder, Kairi, was sitting on top of the edge as she watched the sunset. She closed her eyes and hummed a particular melody as memories of her past and childhood came to her.

"WHEN YOU WALK AWAY YOU DON'T HEAR ME SAY, 'PLEASE OH BABY, DON'T GO!' SIMPLE AND CLEAN IS THE WAY THAT YOU'RE MAKING ME FEEL TONIGHT. IT'S HARD TO LET GO-" Kairi hummed as memories of her childhood began to resurface.

Her memory began to show herself as a child holding onto her grandmother's hand as she walked down the paved stone path of Radiant Garden. But what soon came after was just a blur.

Kairi slowly opened her eyes as she wondered what was missing within her memories. She may as well ask Namine to check for her when she has a chance. She then closed her eyes again and began to sing.

"YOU'RE GIVING ME~" Kairi sang as the memories of meeting Sora and Riku came to her mind. "~TOO MANY THINGS! LATELY, YOU'RE ALL I NEED~! (OH NO!) YOU SMILED AT ME, AND SAID-"

"'DON'T GET ME WRONG I LOVE YOU. BUT DOES THAT MEAN I HAVE TO MEET YOUR FATHER?'"

It was then she remembered the time that Destiny Islands fell to the Darkness as Sora, herself, and Riku were forcefully separated and her Heart sought refuge inside Sora's. It then began the journey that Sora, Riku, and Kairi's fate began to intertwine.

"'WHEN WE ARE OLDER YOU'LL UNDERSTAND WHAT I MEAN WHEN I SAID 'NO!' I DON'T THINK THAT LIFE IS QUITE THAT SIMPLE!'"

"WHEN YOU WALK AWAY YOU DON'T HEAR ME SAY, 'PLEASE OH BABY, DON'T GO!' SIMPLE AND CLEAN IS THE WAY THAT YOU'RE MAKING ME FEEL TONIGHT. IT'S HARD TO LET GO-" Kairi sang a little louder as she saw the memory of herself being separated from Sora and Riku when her Heart came back to her body and her two friends closed the doors of Kingdom Hearts.

Unknown to her while she was singing, nocturnal Pokémon of various shapes and sizes heard her voice as they began to gather around. Upon reaching her, they began to join in to make the music more lively and memorable.

Hoothoots and Noctowls began to hoot while tilting their heads with the rhythm.

Spinaraks and Ariados spun their webs as they plucked the webbing as a substitution for the bass.

Morelulls, Shiinotic, Oddishs, Glooms, Galarian Ponytas, and Galarian Rapidashs send bioluminescent light into the atmosphere.

Whimsicott, Venomoth, Dustox, Volbeat, and Illumise danced around above Kairi's head.

The Evolution line of Meowth, Glameow, Eevee, Rattata, Igglybuff, Munchlax, Skitty, Lillipup, Minccino, Whismur, Pichu, and Tandemaus appeared along with several Houndour, Furfrou, Voltorb, and Mimikyu appeared besides Kairi as they swayed their bodies to the beat.

"SO SIMPLE AND CLEAN…" Kairi hummed before she sang again. "THE DAILY THINGS~ (LIKE THIS AND THAT AND WHAT IS WHAT)"

A memory formed of the time when she was back at Destiny Island and she had forgotten all about Sora. It was a painful memory for sure but she knew that even bad memories are what kept her whole and made her who she is today.

"THAT KEEPS US ALL~ BUSY ARE CONFUSING ME! THAT'S WHEN YOU CAME TO ME~ AND SAID-" Kairi sang. "'WISH I COULD PROVE I LOVE YOU, BUT DOES THAT MEAN I HAVE TO WALK ON WATER?'"

She then remembered when Lea, who came by the Nobody name of Axel at that time, kidnapped her and was forced to wait for Sora and Riku to save her from Organization XIII.

"'WHEN WE ARE OLDER YOU'LL UNDERSTAND IT'S ENOUGH WHEN I SAY SO. AND MAYBE SOME THINGS ARE THAT SIMPLE!' WHEN YOU WALK AWAY YOU DON'T HEAR ME SAY, 'PLEASE OH BABY, DON'T GO!'"

A memory then formed in her mind of the time when she was given a Keyblade by Riku that would enable her to fight alongside Sora and him. It was then another memory resurfaced which indicated her training as a Keyblade Wielder with Lea under the watch of Merlin.

"SIMPLE AND CLEAN IS THE WAY THAT YOU'RE MAKING ME FEEL TONIGHT. IT'S HARD TO LET GO-" Kairi sang before she began to sing louder with the Pokemon beside her to synchronize with their cries. "HOLD ME! WHATEVER LIES BEYOND THIS MORNING IS A LITTLE LATER ON!"

She then recalled the final battle with Xehanort and the Thirteen Seekers of Darkness as she was fighting Xemnas and Xion with Lea. Even though she was captured by the former, she was happy that she proved herself that she will not be a damsel-in-distress anymore.

"REGARDLESS OF WARNINGS THE FUTURE DOESN'T SCARE ME AT ALL! NOTHING LIKE BEFORE! WHEN YOU WALK AWAY YOU DON'T HEAR ME SAY, 'PLEASE OH BABY, DON'T GO!' SIMPLE AND CLEAN IS THE WAY THAT YOU'RE MAKING ME FEEL TONIGHT. IT'S HARD TO LET GO-" Kairi sang with the Pokémon nodding their heads to the song.

Kairi smiled as she was able to now spend the time with Sora without having to worry about Xehanort.

"HOLD ME! WHATEVER LIES BEYOND THIS MORNING IS A LITTLE LATER ON!" Kairi then sang the last verse. "REGARDLESS OF WARNINGS THE FUTURE DOESN'T SCARE ME AT ALL! NOTHING LIKE BEFORE!"

SONG: END

Kairi ended her song as the Pokemon that had gathered around her began to disperse. She took a deep breath and sighed before smiling. She looked up at the starry sky and the broken moon of Remnant that overviews the Mushroom Kingdom.

Suddenly, large amounts of clapping was heard as Kairi immediately turned around and saw Sora along with Riku, Terra, Ventus, Aqua, Roxas, Lea, Isa, Xion, and Namine.

"Wow, that was incredible!" Xion exclaimed.

"Didn't know you're great at singing." Terra commented.

"That was amazing!" Namine said.

"That was great!" Ventus shouted.

"Although I wonder how some of the Pokémon got up here, you were exceptional with your voice!" Isa smiled.

"H-How long were you guys standing there?" Kairi's cheeks bursted with red as she was embarrassed to herself that she did not notice them.

"Just as long as you took to sing your song!" Lea answered.

"And it was beautiful!" Aqua smiled.

"Like you…" Sora said to her which caused Kairi's face to be the same color as her hair.

'Real smooth…' Riku and Roxas gave out a smug smile as Sora walked to her. Kairi immediately stood up as Sora approached her.

"Kairi…" Sora spoke to her. "You've always been a treasure to me, besides Riku."

"Heh…" Roxas chuckled while Riku playfully rolled his eyes.

"Throughout my adventure with Donald and Goofy, I always think about you." Sora continued. "And sometimes I fear that one day I will lose you again and promise myself to grow stronger ever since. I-"

"Sora," Kairi interrupted him. "I know. I, too, wanted to become stronger not just to stop acting like I'm in danger. I wanted to become stronger to protect you! I know that deep down you berated yourself for being too weak or too slow but you don't have to be alone!"

"I wanted to be more than just friends Sora…" Kairi said. "I wanted to be more than just that!"

"What do you mean?" He asked.

"This."

It was then Kairi suddenly grabbed Sora's collar and dragged him closer to her face to where their lips met. She closed her eyes as she began to kiss him.

Sora, now completely shocked by Kairi's action, soon closed his eyes as well as his arms wrapped around her body to bring her closer.

Their friends looked on and cheered for them as a new relationship now bloomed.

"Lea, are you all right?" Xion asked as she noticed he was crying.

"N-No, I-I was sweating my eyes!" He said as he tried to wipe his happy tears away.

"Looks like you owe me something?" Riku smiled at Ventus who grumbled. He went towards his pocket and took out ten Munny which he handed to Riku. Secretly, the two of them betted on who would kiss who with Riku choosing Kairi while Ventus went with Sora.

Then Sora and Kairi parted their kiss as they breath for fresh air. A smile appeared on their faces as they hugged each other.

"Okay, you lovebirds!" Terra smiled as Aqua approached them. "Supper's about to begin! We should go in before the food gets cold!"

Aqua helped the two of them get down from the edge as everyone went back inside for supper. Aqua smiled at the two of them as she then left, leaving Sora and Kairi alone on the roof.

"Sora…" Kairi said to him as he faced her. "From now on, I- no we are going to face whatever challenge that will come our way!"

"And I'll be right at your side when you need it!" Sora finished their newfound promise and hurried back inside.

Unknown to them, a large falcon observed them from afar. Its black and white feathers helped it blend itself with the starry night even though a pink symbol of a Dream Eater was etched on its chest.

The falcon knew it was time to head back as it flapped its wings soared from a tall tree branch that it had landed itself on. The falcon turned its direction south as it flew off underneath the night sky.


Back in the Theater…

BGM: Accordion Brumm (Hollow Knight)

Grimm lifted up his baton as the music died down. His followers roared and cheered with the giant, red, flaming sphere of fire that depicted the starry night distinguished itself.

Grimm then bowed to his followers as they applauded him once more. He rose up as he began to speak.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, that is it for our performance tonight. We are pleased you have arrived and enjoyed the performance upon our behalf."

"Until then… we bid you adieu!" Grimm and his followers disappeared leaving an empty theater at their wake.


Deadpool: This chapter of Fantasia was shorter than I thought it wouldn't be.

Ibuki: Ibuki has to be honest, Danganronpa should've been part of this as well.

Yeah, I know. But I don't even know if Danganronpa even has any good songs or music. Hell, now that I think about it… I should've asked Nan and the others about it before I made this chapter.

Deadpool: Oh, don't worry about it! Even authors like them tend to not think about that sometimes.

Well, if that's supposed to make me feel better then okay I guess. Anyways, I should probably explain about the new out-of-universe and familiar characters in this chapter right now, especially Astral Chain.

Ibuki: Yeah, Ibuki and Deadpool have already mentioned that you never played Astral Chain before.

Yeah, truth be told, I considered this as a thank-you gift for Nan for not just starting the Super RWBY Sisters Series but for helping me break out of my own shell, along with his friends. I never had any friends in real life to share or talk to because like almost everyone I'm a socially awkward person.

Deadpool: Well it's a good thing you brought yourself into Nan's Discord! You were able to express part of yourself in more ways than one!

Thanks… I really appreciate it.

Deadpool: Don't worry man! If you ever had trouble, you know who to look towards!

Well, moving back to the topic at hand. You guys already know that in Nan's profile, Astral Chain was his favorite game so I decided why not put a song from that game here.

Ibuki: And Ibuki thinks that you also put that song here because you think that some Indie Games should deserve some love, which I suppose Chiaki-chan and I agreed.

Yeah, and I should talk about the Persona characters now, should I?

Ibuki: Yeah

Anywho, I thought to myself "Why not add the characters from the top three Persona franchises and their spin-offs here?" And so I did just that.

Deadpool: But… aren't there supposed to be more? And why are the two… I forgot their names- here?

I don't want to make that part too long as it already has been with so many characters that appeared in the Persona franchise. As for Tatsuya and Maya, even though the two of them are what kickstarted the Persona series, they were forgotten when Persona 3 and 4 came out. I wanted them to get some of the spotlight.

Ibuki: Ah yes, Persona 4, the cash-cow that would soon be usurped by Persona 5.

Yeah and I heard that Persona 3 is going to get a complete makeover next year so it would be interesting to see how this goes.

Deadpool: I've been meaning to ask, why isn't Pokémon a part of this chapter? Isn't it nostalgic to almost everyone?

Indeed, but since Pokémon has multiple songs: good ones, meaningful ones; and the fact that Ash has already won the World Championship, it deserves its very own chapter and genre just for the sake of it.

Ibuki: Ibuki can't wait to see how that'll turn out!

Tune in to find out!
