Tales of the Multiverse Bit 211
"I want these floors spotless! Spotless!"
After getting a rather loud order from a high-ranking official, Dexterous Pointdexter and Ragreed Forus began to run around the decks of a spaceship while mopping the floor at the same time.

The story opens in the rather bustling city of Neo-City where life goes as always.
We then head towards the Training Camp and inside one office somewhere in the facility, we see Alice Margatroid, Aya Shameimaru, Blu the Honor, Bowser, Donkey Kong, Flandre Scarlet, Fujiwara no Mokou, Kamek, Kanako Yasaka, Luigi the Plumber, Mario the Plumber, Marisa Kirisame, Marth, Meiling Hong, Nitori Kawashiro, Patchouli Knowledge, Reimu Hakurei, Remilia Scarlet, Rutee Katrea, Sakuya Izayoi, Sanae Kochiya, Stahn Aileron, Suwako Moriya, Waluigi, Wario, Youmu Konpaku, Yukari Yakumo and Zed Irysh gathered in front of Eddward "Double D, Edd" Marion Smith, Mario Martinez and Minna-Dietlinde Wilcke.
Both Anna Maymorie and Emiri Yamanaka are also present in the room.
"Congratulations, Miss Yakumo and companions." Double D expressed with a smile, "All of you are officially declared as members of the Heroes Coalitions." he declared, "All of you are classified as Solo Heroes but you're all free to go on missions in a group." he shared, "And while you've done us all service before, we still look forward with working alongside you all." he stated with a smile.
Yukari smiled back, "The pleasure is all ours." she expressed in gratitude.
And with that, Double D and Yakumo shook hands to seal the deal.
"Once again, I am glad that you're joining us." President Mario said out loud with a smile before frowning slightly, "But I am very sorry that young Tucker and his friends won't be able to join as well as the tragic passing of young Helmsey." he expressed.
"It's a shame, I'll admit." Yukari admitted, "But Helmet made peace with his death and the boys decided to move on with their lives." she stated, "We can only hope the best for them." she expressed.
President Mario nodded in response, "Indeed." he uttered in agreement.
"Still..." Minna trailed, "... the Gardo Fallenorder seems like a very troublesome individual." she commented, "We should warn everyone about this individual but we can also inquire information about him from the Chikara Masters in our ranks." she beckoned.
"I agree." Double D replied in agreement, "But we'll save that for later." he beckoned, "For now..." he trailed, "... you all mentioned that you found traces of the Curse Maker in the city of Durgas?" he inquired.
Nitori then brought up a device, "Yup!" she chirped in confirmation, "And we all had it stored inside these devices." she presented.
"Miss Maymorie, please take Miss Kawashiro to the Science and Research Department, so they can start with the procedure." Double D ordered, "Miss Yamanaka, I'll had you escort everyone to the Dormitory Village and present them their living quarters." he added.
Both Anna and Emiri nodded in response, "Yes, sir!" they complied.
"In the mean time, allow me to prepare you all with lunch." President Mario offered, "Think of it as a welcome gift from me." he beckoned with a smile.
Everyone cheered in response while Yukari chuckled, "I'll admit..." she uttered out loud, "... I do miss your cookings, Master Mario." she admitted with a smile.
Meanwhile in one hallway somewhere in the Training Camp, we see Darren Cross, Sylvia van Hossen, Raya Amanda, Karizza Stronghold, Wesley Bryans and an unnamed young woman with Sylvia pushing a wheelchair to which Raya is currently sitting on.
Darren took a deep breath before unleashing it with a smile, "It's good to be back." he expressed in delight, "I sure do miss this place." he admitted.
"Me too!" Karizza chirped in agreement before pouting, "Too bad that Marcus, isn't here...'' she whined.
"It can't be help." Sylvia replied, "Marcus, alongside his team, are still training somewhere in this world." she pointed out.
"Don't worry though." Raya reassured, "Marcus emailed me earlier and it says that he'll be contacting you soon." she shared.
Karizza smiled in response, "Really?" he uttered out loud, "Then I look forward for that." she expressed in excitement.
Wesley then turns to the young woman with them, "So, how do you like the place so far, Miss Ageha?'' he asked.
Kawakami Academy Student
Ageha Kuki
Ageha smirked in respone with her red eyes glinting in excitement, "Interesting." she answered, "Very interesting.'' she mused before looking at Darren and Wesley, "After getting the taste of your strengths, I'm really looking forward in meeting the other fighters in this place." she expressed.
"Yeah, you did said that your one of the strongest fighters in your world." Raya recalled with a grin, "And from what we witnessed from your fight with Darren and Wesley, I think it's safe to say that you're a stuff made of nightmares." she commented with a grin.
Ageha crossed her arms and let's out a laugh, "Hahaha!" she chortled, "I'll take that as a compliment!" she accepted, "Though I look forward in fighting the two of you again, and hopefully, the next time around, it won't end up in a draw." she expressed with a grin.
Darren pointed a finger gun at her, "Anytime." he accepted with a grin.
Wesley gulped in response, "I'll..." he trailed, "... check my schedule first if I'm available.'' he stated.
Karizza then floats right next to Ageha, "There are tons of strong fighters in this organization, so I'm sure you'll have fun in fighting them.'' she stated with a big smile.
Ageha chuckled in response, "Then I look forward for it." she replied.
"Welp!" Wesley yelped out loud, "I'll see you guys later because I'm going to meet up with the others to catch up with the recent news." he stated before walking off to a different direction, "Men..." he trailed in dread, "I should warn the others about her." he beckoned to himself, "Like Raya said, she's a stuff made of nightmares.'' he commented.
As Wesley disappears from their sight, Darren turns to the rest, "I'm going to take Miss Ageha to the Communications Department, so we can contact her home world.'' he shared.
"Guess I really need to call everyone back at home first." Ageha admitted, "I can definitely tell that my brother and his subordinates are worried about me." she thought out loud.
"You guys do that." Raya beckoned, "Sylvia and I will be heading out to my mom's lab to get my legs fix while Karizza do whatever she wants to do." she stated.
Before they could go separate ways when all of a sudden they heard a rather scary ominous voice, "Hey guys!" the voice greeted, "How'd your mission go?" it asked.
Jolting in response, everyone turns around and got into a fighting stance but only to see the owner of the voice was none other than Joey Hollard in his Camo hat, goggles and lower face mask.
"WHOA! WHOA! WHOA! WAIT! IT'S ME!" Joey exclaimed raising his hands up in fright while turning off his voice filter and quickly removed his lower face mask, goggles and hat which reveals his face, "It's Joey!" he cried out.
Darren sighed in response, "Oh good..." he breathed out in relief, "... it's just you.'' he said while the rest lowered their guards.
Raya, on other hand was not happy, she then angrily wheels her way towards Joey and grabbed the hems of his hoodie, "WHAT'S THE BIG IDEA, HUH?!" she demanded, "WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT?!" she yelled, "Ya think this is funny, huh?!" she exclaimed, "Ya think this is funny!" she repeated.
Joey raised his hands up in panic and despite wearing glasses, he can tell that she's glaring at him, "LIEUTENANT AMANDA MA'AM!" he cried out, "I SWEAR ThAT I DIDN'T MEAN TO SCARE THE LIVING HELL OUT OF ALL OF YOU!" he squawked, "I WAS TESTING OUT MY NEW VOICE FILTER AND OZZY WAS SHOWING ME HOW HIS POWERS IMPROVED AND I WAS JUST STROLLING AROUND HERE WHEN I SAW ALL OF YOU RETURN AND I WASN'T AWARE THAT MY VOICE FILTER WAS STILL ON!" he explained, "So please, just this once, let this slide and forgive me ma'am!" he pleaded.
Raya let's go the hems of his hood before punching him hard across the groin.
"OOOOHHHH!" Joey howled in pain before falling down to the floor while holding his wounded prize possessions, "WHY?!" he cried out loud.
Raya scoffed in response, "Asshole." she spatted before snapping her fingers, "Let's go, Sylvia." she beckoned while wheeling off.
"Sorry about this, Joel." Sylvia apologized while following her best friend.
"I should get going as well." Karizza shared before floating away.
With Karizza, Raya and Sylvia gone from sight, Joey slowly tried to get back up on his feet, "Ugh!" he groaned loudly while on one knee, "I said I was sorry and never meant to scare her!" he exclaimed.
Darren crossed his arms, "What's the Filipino word Leysi would use to describe the type of people that does what you did earlier?" he questioned to himself, "Oh right!" he recalled, "Papansin." he said out loud.
"No, I'm not." Joey argued.
Darren shrugged his shoulders in response, "Well, whatever." he dismissed, "It's good to see you, Joel." he expressed, "Try to avoid startling people with that helmet-voice thingie of yours." he advised before walking off with Ageha following him from behind while leaving Joey to recover by himself.
"You sure it's alright to leave that kid behind like that?" Ageha asked.
"I ain't his babysitter." Darren replied with a blank look.
The scene then transitions outside the spacious courtyard of the Training Camp and at one space, we see Chie Satonaka, Kanji Tatsumi, Teddie, Yousuke Hanamura and Yukiko Amagi gathered in front of Travis Touchdown's car.
"Look at me and Kanji." Yousuke beckoned, "Getting ready for a double date with actual women who publicly acknowledged they're our dates.'' he stated with a grin.
"Yes, actual women are the best." Kanji said in agreement.
"I don't understand." Teddie admitted, "What other kind of women are there?" he questioned in confusion.
"Yousuke, artificial women are your department." Kanji pointed out, "You want to take this?" he suggested.
"No, it would just freak him out." Yousuke dismissed, "Listen, before we leave, I should warn you, I'm a passionate man and I tend towards public displays of affection." he reminded.
Kanji raised an eyebrow, "What are you trying to tell me, Yousuke?" he asked.
"There might be some making out in the car or the restaurant, and I don't want your date to feel uncomfortable, so it would help if you and your date made out, too." Yousuke explained, "So, I suggest the two of you have sex right on the salad bar." he advised rather casually.
Everyone grimaced from what their friend just said, "Ugh..." Chie groaned, "Yousuke, you really had no shame.'' she admonished in disgust.
"What?" Yousuke asked, "I'm growing boy, what do you expect?'' she reasoned.
Yukiko shook her head, "Strange thoughts aside..." she dismissed, "... I'm still surprised that the two of you actually got a date.'' she admitted.
"Well..." Kanji trailed, "... the two of us are just strolling around in the city when we met these girls, claiming they're new recruits for the Heroes Coalitions, we got along really well with them and the next thing I know, Yousuke asked them out on date and they agreed." he explained.
"Yep!" Yousuke chirped in confirmation, "Glad they agreed.'' he chirped before turning to Chie, Yukiko and Teddie, "Which brings me a question..." the headphones-wearing boy trailed, "... when are the three of you going to get a date?" he asked, "I mean, if you look at group right now, half of us are now dating with Yuu and Rise having the head start while Kanji and I are on the right path." he pointed out, "You three will be left behind if you don't find a date soon." he reminded.
"Ugh..." Teddie groaned in response, "... you just had to remind me." he uttered out loud.
Chie crosses her arms, "Unlike you Yousuke, Yukiko and I aren't in a rush to be in a relationship.'' she replied.
"Chie is right, we have all the time in the world, you know." Yukiko added in agreement.
Yosuke shrugged his shoulders in response, "Suit yourself." he replied.
Suddenly a blue swirling vortex appears from the sky, much to their surprise and shock, then the vortex drops down an unconscious figure towards Yousuke.
"Aaakkk!" Yousuke screamed in panic upon feeling the weight of the unconscious figure on top of him, "HEEEELP!" he hollered, "A LOG JUST FELL ON MY BACK!" he described, "What the hell is going?!" he demanded in confusion.
"Divine retribution, I believe." Teddie replied with a blank look.
Everyone then watches as the portal vanished into thin air before Kanji and the girls decided to help get the unconscious figure off Yousuke, and they were surprised upon getting a closer look at the unknown figure before them.
The figure is a young woman with an average height, she had a buxom figure and a fair complexion, she had a short blonde hair tied in single-spiky sidetail by a skull-shaped hairpin and she had brown-colored eyes. She wears a black leotard with a large erect collar that is exposed at the front and is cut to reveal her stomach and ample cleavage covered by a purple-colored bikini top, she had single metal shoulder-guard on the right shoulder and a sheet of white fabric attached to her right hip cascading down to her knee. She also wears a single white sleeve over her forearm and has a decorative black tattoo encircling her upper left arm, and she wears a pair of long thigh-high boots that appear to be held up by thin overlapping belts.
"Is that Lucy?'' Yukiko assumed, "Lucy Heartfilia." she clarified.
"That can't be Lucy." Kanji dismissed, "Because I'm pretty sure that she's on a date with Natsu, right now." he recalled.
"And Lucy's hair is a lot longer!" Teddie added.
"We can debate later whether she's Lucy or not." Chie interrupted, "But right now, we should take her to the sick bay!" she advised.
Yukiko nodded in response, "Right!" she uttered in agreement, "Let's go!" she beckoned.
And with that, Kanji picks up the unconscious figure and everyone immediately went back inside the Training Camp.
Bzzzttt...
Meanwhile in the St. Harmony Island which is located somewhere in Neo-Earth, we see Seishirou Tsugumi walking around the forest.
After making things up with Chitoge Kirisaki, the blonde decided to hang out with Yoshika Miyafuji and Xyrille Yona, leaving the hitwoman alone. Bow Hothoof then suggested that she looks around the island which she reluctantly agrees.
And after an hour of walk, Tsugumi's reluctance turns into excitement and awe as she can't help but be amazed by the island's beauty.
"Sugoi..." Tsugumi uttered out loud, "... no wonder ojou-sama is having fun here." she acknowledged, "This place is stunning.'' she commented.
A few minutes later, Tsugumi comes across the beach area where Marcus "The Kane" McGee is training with Kham. There, she saw Marcus sitting on a log resting and once again without a shirt. Tsugumi, for some reason can't help but stare at his slim yet fit physique with a blush forming around her face but she quickly shook her head.
Tsugumi doesn't know anything about Marcus and then again, she doesn't know anyone in the island aside from Chitoge but from what she heard so far is that Marcus is currently the strongest person in his team... if the yellow-skinned lump that she met earlier is to be believed.
Tsugumi is known to be a great fighter, she is a hitwoman and Chitoge's bodyguard for a reason, she has an immense strength and is very good is firearms and different weaponry.
However if she wants to remain as Chitoge's bodyguard, she had to get stronger and a lot stronger than she ever was. And if everyone's claim is true, then she can test out her skills and strength with this man.
Tsugumi then immediately made her way towards the blue-haired philanthropist, "Excuse me.'' the hitwoman called out.
Marcus turns to her, "Oh, hello." he greeted, "Seishirou Tsugumi, right?'' he recalled.
Tsugumi nodded in response, "Hai." she confirmed, "Are you perhaps done with your training?'' she inquired.
Marcus nodded in response, "You're correct." he confirmed, "My trainer and I decided to call it for a day.'' he shared before taking out a cigarette, "Why do you ask?'' he asked.
"Well..." Tsugumi trailed, "I want to ask you a favor." she said, "I want to challenge you to a duel." she declared.
Marcus lights up his cigarette, he took a whiff before blowing out a smoke, "And pray tell why?'' he questioned with a rather deadly gaze.
Tsugumi looks at him with a determined face, "I want to be stronger!" she answered, "A lot stronger to protect ojou-sama!" she reasoned.
