Tales of the Multiverse Bit 191

"Ugh! This sucks!"

At an unknown island in an unknown world, we see Andy the Ragdoll, Alexander the Stuff Tiger, Jack-in-the-Box, Teddie and the rest of the Toy Factory are seen gathered in one part of beach, lamenting after being chased out of Jump City.

~~000~~

The story opens in the early evening of the St. Harmony Island, we then head towards one part of the island which is a grassy plain where we see Yoshika Miyafuji and Xyrielle "XY Girl" Yona gathered around a campfire pit right in front of their tent.

Xyrielle sighed loudly, "Hey, Yoshika..." she called out, "How long have we been in this island?'' she asked. She is currently wearing a white top, black tight leggings and white sneakers.

Yoshika checks her tablet before shrugging her shoulders, "Beats me." she replied rather casually. She is currently wearing a blue t-shirt, a light-blue jogging pants and white rubber shoes.

Xyrielle then looks up the starry night sky before letting out a smile, "I had to admit though..." she uttered, "... this place is wonderful." she complimented, "I wouldn't mind having a vacation here with my sister.'' she said out loud.

Yoshika giggled in response, "I believe President Mario will allow that." she replied, "This island belong to the Heroes Coalitions after all.'' she pointed out.

As this going on, Marcus "The Kane" McGee came out walking towards them, "Ugh..." he groaned loudly, "My training is suicide..." he complained, "Woohoo-hoo-hoo..." he hollered weakly, " And it hurts...'' he moaned while rubbing his back, "I'm telling you, Kham is a monster when comes to training...'' he described. He is currently shirtless which shows off his slim yet fit physique alongside a dark-blue tattered jeans and white rubber shoes.

And while Yoshika was unfazed by Marcus being shirtless, Xyrielle on the other hand had her face lit-up in red up to eleven, "W-W-W-What t-t-the h-hell are y-you think are y-y-y-you d-d-doing barging a-around here s-s-shirtless!?" the multi-colored hair girl stuttered in demand before looking away as this was the first time in her life that she saw Marcus without a shirt.

"It got ripped off from training..." Marcus replied, "Ugh..." he groaned once again, "Yoshika, do ya have any painkillers for back pain?'' he asked.

"It's in my medical bag.'' Yoshika replied while pointing a finger at a bag right next to the tent.

"Thanks.'' Marcus expressed before walking off.

Xyrielle then leaned towards Yoshika, "Oi..." she whispered, "How come your not bothered by Marcus walking around shirtless?!" she quesioned with a red face.

"I don't mind." Yoshika replied with a smile, "I've already seen Rolf without a shirt countless times already." she admitted.

Xyrielle stares at Yoshika in utter shock and disbelief, "What?'' she uttered.

Then suddenly they heard a loud explosion from the other side of the island.

"Oh..." Yoshika uttered rather calmly, "What was that?" she questioned.

"That's just Eddy, Panooki and Mumbo doing something at their training spot." Marcus answered while looking inside Yoshika's bag, "Practicing some new maneuver or whatever.'' he explained.

"Can't those trio of numbskulls keep things down?!" XY exclaimed in annoyance.

Meanwhile in another part of the island, we head towards the beach side where we see Eddy Skipper McGee, Panooki Zarrya and Mumbo Jumbo doing some sort of activity.

"Are you ready, Panooki?!" Eddy called out. He is currently wearing a white t-shirt, red shorts, sandals and a hairnet worn around his head.

Panooki grinned in response before bringing out a large club, "I'm ready, Eddy!" she replied. She is currently wearing a pink onesie pajamas and white bunny slippers.

"Ready-Eddy.'' Eddy uttered in amusement while rubbing his hands, "I like the sound of that.'' he admitted with smile before turning to his left, "Okay, Mumbo!" he called out, "Let it rip!" he beckoned.

Mumbo, whom is currently in his usual attire, nodded in response before firing a cannon ball towards Panooki and the Desponican responded by slamming the club at the shot which was then sent flying to the sky before transforming into a large fireworks-like explosions.

"Woohoo!" Eddy cheered out loud, "That was a blast!" he exclaimed.

"Miss Panooki's strength and precise aiming never cease to amaze me.'' Mumbo complimented

Panooki then hops up and down, "All right!" she cheered, "One more! One more!" she shouted in glee and excitement.

Before anyone could get themselves ready for another round when all of a sudden, a large swirling blue vortex began to form in the sky, much to the trio's shock.

"The sky is retaliating!" Eddy shouted in panic, "Run and hide!" he beckoned.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH!" the trio screamed in fright before running behind the bushes while the blue swirling vortex drops a girl down onto the sandy beach before disappearing in an instant.

A few seconds later, the trio peek their heads out from the bushes, "Is it gone?'' Eddy asked.

"I think it is..." Panooki replied, "... and it dropped something on the sands." she pointed out.

"That's not something, that is someone.'' Mumbo corrected.

The trio then approaches the unconscious girl that was drop off from the sky.

The girl was pretty tall with a pale complexion, she had a fair skin tone and had a voluptuous figure. She had a long blonde waist-length hair with a pink ombre. She wears a half-sleeved white shirt with a blue sailor-style collar attached at the lower part of her neck and it connects a thin orange tie that is laced through a loop at the end of the shirt, making a little part of the tie to reach the skirt. The skirt reaches around the upper thighs and is a blue-colored fabric, that is accompanied by thigh-length black socks and brown slip-on shoes. But her most notable trait is her was the large red ribbon on her head.

"Umm..." Panooki uttered out loud, "... does anyone know her?" she asked in confusion.

"I don't know." Eddy replied, "Never met her before." he replied while scratching the back of his head.

Mumbo then noticed something, "I think she's waking up.'' he pointed out.

As Mumbo pointed out, the girl is waking up. Slowly and groggily opening her aquatic blue eyes, the girl looks around and her eyes landed at the trio looking down at her.

And by instincts, she quickly sprung up to her feet and got into a battle stance while glaring at them.

"Who are you people?!" the girl demanded, "And where the heck am I?!" she added.

Her glare scared both Eddy and Mumbo with the former jumping into the latter's arms while Panooki, despite her bubbly personality, remained calm, "Please calm down..." she advised, "... we meant you no harm.'' she claimed.

The girl raised an eyebrow, "How can I be sure of you that?" she questioned.

"We'd love to explain things but I think we should introduce ourselves each other first as a form mutual trust." Panooki beckoned, "My name is Panooki Zarrya." she introduced herself before pointing a finger at her companions, "The man in the magician's outfit is Mumbo Jumbo and the guy in his arms is my boyfriend, Eddy Skipper McGee." she followed.

The girl stares at her for a minute and thought about her situation before nodding her head in conclusion, "Alright." she conceded, "My name is Chitoge Kirisaki." she introduced herself.

Bonyari High School Student

Chitoge Kirisaki

Chitoge crossed her arms, "So, will you guys tell me where I am?" she asked.

"You're in St. Harmony Island." Panooki answered.

"Hold up, Panooki!" Eddy interrupted which got their attentions, the ex-scam artist then drops down from Mumbo's arms, "I think it's better that we introduced her to everyone." he suggested.

"And I think it's better that we have Yoshika or XY Girl to explain things to her." Mumbo added.

"Good point." Panooki uttered in agreement before turning back to Chitoge, "So, what do you think?" the pink-head asked.

Chitoge thought about it before nodding in agreement, "Alright, I'll go with that." she accepted.

Bzzzttt...

It was early in the morning at Neo-City as we head towards the Dormitory Village and inside one particular dorm, we see Jaune Arc, Brent Dark and Wesley Bryans walking across one hallway before passing-by a door of the Mississippi Four's room.

The aforementioned door then opened and out comes a rather invigorated Joey Hollard. The older Hollard let's out a light sigh before closing the door and then walking off, ignoring Shunya Kengun, Galen Marek and the Scotsman whom are having a conversation from behind.

Joey then brought out his phone while checking out the news and at the same time, crossing paths with Shidou Itsuka, Naoto Kurogane and Akira Nova whom are having a discussion.

Walking into an intersection, we see Sanya V. Litvyak, Rei Kuroki and John Price having a conversation when Ron Stoppable and Flash "Agent Venom" Thompson joined them, and as they continue on with their conversation, Joey walked past them.

At one corner and in front of a vending machine, we see Marta Lualdi, Shino Kuribayashi and Kohaku Hearts buying themselves some drinks when Haruhiko Ichijou and Natsumi Kyouno arrives to greet them. After getting themselves some drinks, they left the vending machine and just in time for Joey to walk past it.

On top of a flight of stairs where we see Acacia Greene, African Wild Dog and Mizuno Higeki having a conversation when Joey walks past them. And at the bottom of the stairs, we see Dwarf Shaman, Ryoutarou Tsuboi and Pedro Penduko having a conversation when Joey walks past them as well.

After a few minutes later, Joey arrives at the cafeteria and after getting himself some food, he went towards a table where he joined Kylie Hollard, Luluco and Nephren Ruq Insania whom are having breakfast.

What are they eating? A brand of cereal with Eddy Skipper McGee's face etched on the box.

"Good morning, girls." Joey greeted rather cheerfully.

Kylie then turns to her brother, "What's got you so happy about?" she asked, "Is it because you're in love?" she teased before taking a sip of her drink.

Joey chuckled in response, "No, my silly sister..." he dismissed before pulling a silver-colored laser gun, "BECAUSE I FINALLY FOUND MY LASER GUN!" he revealed with a crazy expression.

Kylie responded by doing a spitstake on her older brother's face, "Joey!" she admonished before slapping him silly across the face, "Violence ain't the answer you know!" she reminded.

"Ouch!" Joey yelped in pain, "Why do you had to slap me?!" he exclaimed while rubbing his left cheek.

"I would had not if you haven't pointed that blasted hand weapon on my face!" Kylie argued.

"Alright, alright..." Joey conceded, "No need to be so dramatic." he admonished before taking a seat, he then looks around the table, "Where are the others?" he inquired.

"The others already left after finishing their breakfast." Luluco answered, "Suzie went out to train with Zuikaku and Willem had a meeting with several heroes." she stated.

"And Ozzy?" Joey added.

"He joined the guys to the mini-studio to create their rap album." Kylie answered with a blank look.

Joey rolled his eyes in disbelief, "Ozzy better realize that their rap album won't go anywhere." he stated and was about to take a bite of his food when he noticed something at the distance, "Hey, who is that person with Hikari?" he asked in suspicion with a finger pointed forward.

The girls turns their attention to the direction where Joey is pointing and saw Hikari Karibuchi having a conversation with a figure at the counter.

The figure is a teenage boy with a short stature and a pale complexion, he had a messy white hair with blue to light-blue highlights, he had round-blue eyes with white dots and wears glasses, and sports bandages on his face. He wears a dark-blue track jacket over a white t-shirt, blue jogging pants, white socks and rubber shoes. This is Nothingham Read II.

Trainee

Nothingham Read II

Kylie blinks a few times, "I haven't seen that boy before." she admitted, "Who is he?" she asked.

"That's Nothingham Read II." Luluco answered, "A personal recruit of Major Stronghold." she shared before taking a sip of her drink, "He came to this city while you guys were gone." she added, "Though I'm surprised to see him getting along well with Hikari when she's only been here for a week." she admitted.

Joey watches Hikari and Nothingham share a friendly laughter and rage began to boil deep inside of him. Clenching his first tightly, Joey glares at the boy in utmost contempt and hatred.

Joey can't understood why he is feeling like this but one things for sure, he had to do something about that person with Hikari.
