-Somewhere in the Multiverse-
Unknown Warring States-like World
After leaving Lake Touya, we see Amelia Watson, Asuna Yuuki, Calliope Mori, Estellise Sidos Heurassein, Flynn Scifo, Gura Gawr, Heishiro Mitsurugi, Hinata Hyuuga, Ikkaku Madarame, Ina'nis Ninomae, Jin, Kazuto "Kirito" Kirigaya, Kenpachi Zaraki, Kenshin Himura, Kiara Takanashi, Marth, Mugen, Sakura Haruno, Sanosuke Sagara, Shiina, Souji Okita, Taki, Teresa of the Faint Smile, Yumichika Ayasegawa, Yuri Lowell and Yuu Kanda making their way towards the forest of Muramasha.
"So, you plan on challenging every swordsmen in the AWA from the weakest to the strongest, huh?" Kenpachi pointed out.
"Not an idea of mine but I like it nonetheless." Heishiro replied.
"Hmm..." Kenpachi hummed out loud, "... maybe I should do the same thing, too." he considered.
"I'm starting off with this fellow named Shinpachi Shimura." Heishiro shared, "Is the name familiar to you?" he asked.
"Ah, yes..." Kenpachi uttered out loud in confirmation, "... that kid is quite skilled but not that strong." he described, "But I'll admit that he is a good start for a challenge." he admitted.
"Poor, Shinpachi..." Asuna, Estelle, Flynn, Hinata, Jin, Sakura and Yuu thought with a blank looks.
"So, what should we expect in the forest of Muramasha?" Taki inquired.
"We start off by looking around for victims of the bright light." Kenshin replied, "And judging from what I've heard about that forest, many local creatures resides there, so please do look after that at the same time." he stated.
"What kind of creatures?" Marth asked.
Kenshin shook his head, "We had no idea but we believe that it's dangerous." he replied.
Gura then let's out a loud yawn, "I wish I had my phone with me." she uttered out loud, "I wouldn't mind playing some gacha games at times like this." she admitted.
"Me, too." Kiara uttered in agreement, "But we probably lost our phones when the bright light got us." she assumed, "Or we left it behind our office." she added.
"It always ends up with those two possibilities, huh?" Amelia mused.
Suddenly, Mori halted on her track when she suddenly felt a familiar aura, "What the?!" she squawked with wide eyes.
"What's wrong, Mori?" Ina asked in concern.
"I felt a strong familiar aura..." Mori uttered in response when she realized something, "Could it be...?" she assumed before running off.
"Mori!" Ina called out.
"So, I was saying that there was a monkey-" Ikkaku was trying to say something to Mugen when all of a sudden Mori ran past them, "Hey!" the bald-headed shinigami shouted, "Where are you going?!" he demanded.
"Mori said that she felt a strong familiar aura." Ina answered, "Could it be that she felt the presence of one of our friends?" she assumed.
"Guess we'll need to find that out for ourselves." Kirito beckoned, "Follow her, everyone!" he commanded.
After a few minutes of running, everyone arrives in an open area of a blue & black-colored forest with weird-shaped fruits that looks like a bowl of mayonnaise.
"This is the forest of Muramasha?" Yuri questioned in disbelief.
"And what the fuck is the deal with those fruits?!" Mugen pointed out in bewilderment.
"I don't know about you guys but I believe that this place is created for someone like Hijikata-san." Teresa commented.
"If Hijikata-san is here, he'll be over the moon with all mayonnaise around." Souji added.
Kirito looks around and noticed something from a few distance away from them, "Everyone!" he shouted, "Look over there!" he beckoned with a finger pointed at a certain direction.

And the creatures they're facing are a group of humanoid chimpanzees wearing red-colored ninja garbs with their ears and tails sticking out.
"Look!" Hinata beckoned, "It's Obito-san alongside Deidara-san!" she pointed out.
Sakura facefaulted, "And Sasori-san as well." she added in disbelief.
Heishiro squinted his eyes, "Is that Strider Hiryuu?" he assumed in recognition.
"It's been a while since we last saw him." Taki admitted.
"IRyS is with them as well!" Gura pointed out.
"Thanks goodness!" Ina expressed in relief.
"No wonder the aura I felt earlier is so familiar." Mori uttered out loud, "It belongs to IRys!" she concluded.
"I don't think it's time to feel relief because looks like they're about to fight those things!" Amelia pointed out.
"What are those creatures?" Kiara questioned.
"Looks like an anthropomorphic chimpanzees dressed in ninja attires." Jin described.
"Ninja Chimps?" Ikkaku uttered out loud in disbelief, "Seriously?" he questioned, "The author of this fic must have been a fan of the ninja-monkeys from the other fic." he assumed.
"A subtle inspiration I guess?" Yumichika replied.
"Anyways..." Kenshin interrupted, "... while Obito-san and the others are more than enough to take those creatures down but we'll still aid them, so we can end things faster!" he beckoned.
Sanosuke smashed his fists together, "Then let's do this!" he exclaimed in excitement.
And with that, everyone charges towards the Ninja Chimps and another clash ensues, and at the same time, Gura and the others went to hide behind the large trees.

BREAK OUT!
"GIRLS!" IRyS cried out in joy and relief.
After defeating every Ninja Chimps in sight, everyone decided to gather around underneath a large tree where IRyS reunited with her fellow Hololive members while the rest introduced themselves to each other.
Yuu, Ikkaku and Yumichika are seen checking the mayonnaise-bowl fruits in utter disbelief and bewilderment.
"These things are actually fruits?" Yuu commented with a perplexed expression.
"Jesus Christ." Yumichika cursed, "We better not tell Hijikata-san about this." he beckoned.
"Yeah." Ikkaku uttered in agreement.
With Amelia, Calliope, Gura, Ina'nis Ninomae, IRyS and Kiara...
"GIIIRRRLLS!" IRyS cried out in joy while hugging Gura at the same time, "Aym shooo hapi tu shee yu all!" she wailed out.
"Urk!" Gura grunted in response but kept her smile, "The feelings the same, IRyS." she replied.
"I'm shooo..." IRyS wheezed, "I'm shoo..." she pressed on, "... been worried abawt yu all!" she sobbed loudly.
"Deep breaths, IRyS." Amelia advised, "Deep breaths." she advised.
"Yeah." Kiara uttered in agreement, "You might end up crying to death." she said with a blank look.
With Heishiro, Hibana, Hiryuu, Hotsuma and Taki...
Hiryuu crossed his arms, "It's been a while since I've last seen the two of you." he admitted.
Heishiro chuckled in response, "Likewise." he replied in agreement, "Looks like you've been doing well." he pointed out.
"Still busy with your duties as a Strider?" Taki assumed.
"Pretty much." Hiryuu confirmed, "I was on my way back home after finishing a mission when a bright light caught onto me and brought me to this world." he explained, "I came across Hotsuma-san and Hibana-san along the way before meeting up with Obito-san's group and Miss IRyS." he concluded.
"Hibana and I were also on our way back home after concluding our respective missions when we found ourselves lost in this world." Hotsuma shared.
Hibana clicked her tongue, "Just what the heck is going on?" she uttered in frustration.
"We've been asking the same question ever since." Taki replied.
With Deidara, Hinata, Sakura and Sasori...
"I'm surprised to see you here without your usual partner, Deidara-san." Sakura admitted.
"Yeah, Damascus is busy with something else, so I'm stuck with my old partner for now." Deidara explained while jabbing a thumb at Sasori.
"Don't jab your thumb at me." Sasori chastised.
"Is the rest of the Akatsuki members in this area as well?" Hinata inquired.
"No, it's just the two of us." Sasori answered.
"Anyway..." Sakura uttered, "... I hope that the two of you would continue on to behave well in this operation and don't start arguing which of your art is better." she reminded.
"No promises." Deidara and Sasori answered at the same time.
With Kenshin and Obito...
"It was quite a pleasant surprise coming across your group in this part of the world." Kenshin admitted, "I'm pretty sure that you were in another region." he recalled.
"I've been informed of a change of location at the last minute." Obito replied, "Anyways..." he trailed, "... I'm very grateful for your group aiding us at the right time." he expressed in gratitude.
"It's no pleasure." Kenshin reassured, "Though I had to admit that I'm surprised that you encountered such creatures." he admitted.
Obito frowned in response, "Unfortunately..." he trailed, "... that wasn't just a mere encounter." he said, "Those creatures were sent towards us." he revealed.
This taken Kenshin aback, "What do you mean?" he asked in surprise.
"I've spoke to several locals earlier ago and told me that the Ninja Chimps are known as 'Sarunobi', and these creatures most of the time doesn't act on their own accordance." Obito explained, "The only time these creatures will attack when they are either provoked or someone ordering them to do so." he listed off.
"You mean...?" Kenshin trailed in assumption.
"Someone sent those creatures after us." Obito revealed.
"Do you think it's the work of the Apostles?" Kenshin assumed.
"Pretty much." Obito confirmed, "And I'm positive that they're still in this world." he declared.
As this is going on, we see two pair of figures observing everyone from a far, the two figures then immediately vanished without a trace.

Inside a maze-like dungeon, we see Aoba Suzukaze, Hajime Shinoda, Hifumi Takimoto, Kou Yagami, Nene Sakura, Rin Tooyama, Shizuku Hazuki, Umiko Ahagon and Yun Iijima running for their lives while being chased by an unseen creature from afar which fortunately for them is pretty slow.
"Run, everyone!" Aoba beckoned, "RUN!" she shouted even louder.
"I am running!" Nene shouted back.
"Why is that thing chasing after us?!" Yun questioned in panic.
"We've trespassed this dungeon!" Hajime replied, "Of course it's gonna chase after us!" she exclaimed.
"Just keep on running!" Kou admonished.
The group then made a turn in one corner but only to come across a wall.
"Dead end!" Umiko exclaimed in disbelief.
"How cliche." Shizuku commented rather nonchalantly.
"Quick!" Rin beckoned, "Let's turn around and run to the other side before that thing..." she was trying to say when she heard loud footsteps from behind, "... catches up to us." she concluded with a nervous expression.
Everyone then slowly turns around to see an 8-foot tall humanoid gorilla glaring down at them and the creature is sporting a pair of golden-colored revolver-like hands.
Hajime chuckled nervously, "Hello..." she greeted with an anxious grin.
The humanoid gorilla then responded by aiming it's revolver-hands at them, revving it up rather madly.
"Uh-oh..." Hifumi uttered in dread.
