Pre Battle Roll EXE:I wonder? Is it possible for you guys to enter the NET?
KOS-MOS:We are androids. We have no such AI-like physical form to enter this cyberspace.
T-elos:It's a waste. Your NET is already filled to the brim with Viruses and crazed Netnavis.
*Adam Hunter & Guy paired with Bruno Delinger*
Pre Battle Adam:Given your expertise as a cop, you would have been perfect to fix those crime cases of ours.
Bruno:Back then, but I'm not helping now with my age catching up.
Guy:If you are as skilled as my master, Mr. Delinger. Then you can catch up with the rest of us.
*Hotsuma & Hibana paired with Corrin*
Pre Battle Corrin:Interesting. So you two are like Saizo & Kagero.
Hotsuma:I can only gather that they are ninjas as well.
Hibana:It's no surprise that ninjas have lasted this long. A bit too long if you ask me.
*Sothe & Micaiah paired with Leo*
Pre Battle Sothe:A Beoric cursed to be a Laguz? A very interesting curse.
Leo:Until I can truly prove myself as my king,I bear this burden till death.
Micaiah:I assure you,Milord. If you struggle to live in your kingdom, you'd be most welcome in ours.
*Shulk & Fiora paired with Neneko*
Pre Battle Neneko:Woah! That sword can predict the future it is!
Shulk:I mean? I have said before this is the Monado's Power?
Fiora:W-we should just give it up. She's never going to truly understand it..
*Klonoa & Kirby paired with The Prince of All Cosmos*
Pre Battle Klonoa:Is it possible for Katamaris to pick up dreams and nightmares?
The King:Of course! Dreams and Nightmares are real and can be in one's grasp if possible.
Kirby:Poyo?
*Lucas & Kumatora paired with Tarosuke*
Pre Battle Kumatora:You're pretty handy using ghosts. Think you can convince the ones to leave Oshe Castle?
Tarosuke:I don't know. Maybe it will be a long time before I can finish something like the castle.
Lucas:I think there's only one or two ghosts that need to leave sooner than later.
*Estellise Sidos Heurassein & Princess Peach paired with Riemsanne La Vaes*
Pre Battle Peach:I am honored to meet a woman of your position, Riemsanne.
Riemsanne:Oh? This is. A first?
Estelle:Be grateful, Riem. She may have a different opinion if she knew the "real" you…
*Donovan Blaine & Bishamon paired with Sanger Zonvolt*
Pre Battle Donovan:It seems evil festers in the foes we face.
Bishamon:We shall exorcize them and destroy this threat.
Sanger:Evil will be smited today with our swords! Chesto!
*Viewtiful Joe & Sexy Silvia paired with Katee (Byako Armor)*
Pre Battle Joe:WE GOT TO HAVE TO FIND SOME SORT OF HERO NAME FOR YOU! YOU JUST LOOK SO COOL!
Katee:Hehehe… Sure… Silvia help me!
Silvia:N-n-n-ow Joe?
Byako (Armor):Too late. He's already rambling again…Ugh…
*The Group enter the castle and make their way towards what Leon suspects in the main area Ashley is being held at.*
*Deadly Whisper from Project X Zone plays*
Byako:Strange? Wouldn't they have people ready for us to fight first?
G:Seems like they are just inviting us in.
Leon S.:If I know Salazar. He wants to make things more dramatic. So most likely he would expect us to stop once we got to the hall.
Claire:What hall do you mean by that, Leon?
Leon S.:During my time here with Ashley. We reached this giant chamber which had loads of their cultists. Seems like he wants us to move there. Just how much force they got, I haven't the foggiest clue.
Bruce:You think we will run into this Saddler of theirs? He is the ringmaster of these crazed misfits.
Leon S.:I doubt it. Saddler would later have his flunkies fight before he himself will have to clean up after them.
Chris:We should still be on guard for whatever happens. Rescuing her is our main priority.
Ann:Not to mention rescuing our friends!
Akechi:The real question is are they in that area too. They could very well be captured by this Saddler.
Ryuji:I really hope that is not the case.
Leon S:Alright it should be beyond this door.
*They go through the big red door,The group moved around and saw a large chamber that leas up to a fountain area*
Leon S:Strange.
Fong:What is it?
Leon S:Seems like this place is still set up from when me and Ashley went through here.
Jill:But what is real strange is the emptiness Byako:They sure have such a low guarded castle. Was all the security the village and the bridge then?
Tails:Just what is this castle hiding?
Dante:So what now?
?:Hehehehe! Hahaha!
*Ramon Salazar appears at the end of the bridge area,along with two hooded figures*
Salazar:I'd expect nothing else from Mr. Kennedy.
Leon S:Enough of your games, you insane son of a-!
Salazar:Oh? I wouldn't use such crass language if I were you. Unless you want your little Ashley to become one of us again?
*Two Los Illuminados Cultists appear to the side with Ashley*
Ashley:Leon! Help! Let go of me!
Claire:Don't worry, Miss Graham! We'll get you out of here!
Salazar:I really hate having pests like you come and invade my prestigious castle. It just dirties the whole place. You vermin might as well stay put. If you want to survive, that is?
The great Saddler has given me more power than we could ever grasp during our previous reunion. And I'd say the favors tip in our hands. And that is why I wish to truly test your mettle.
And your quick wits as well. So I will give you about 15 minutes, yes? To come here and rescue the princess from her capture. Or we will have to make you watch the glorious transformation happen before your eyes.
Leon S:You mad man!
Salazar:And don't even think you can get away with having spies come here.
*Two more cultists come out,holding an unconscious girl that is dressed like that of the renaissance. And in the other's arms is a girl with a large black cloak.*
Morgana:Haru! Sumire!
Ren:You won't get away with this.
Salazar:Oh I believe I do, child. Because of them, we shall make them the ultimate offer and turn them into us. So I'd suggest you work fast.
Yusuke:You plan to implant the parasite into them as well!
Salazar:Of course you fool. Because thanks to our allies, this process is almost instantaneous. Makes things easier for us to truly encourage rushed failures. Now then.
*Los Illuminados Cultists with Crossbows, Shields with flails appear on the ground up to near the bridge. The upper perch areas have more of the crossbow wielding cultists. And at the front with the Flail wielding cultists, Novistadors appear with them.*
Salazar:Let our game commence. We wish you good luck. Hehehehe. HAHAHAHAHA!
Leon S:Not on my watch, pal.
*Victory Conditions:
Reach Ashley, Haru and Sumire before Turn 20*
*Defeat Conditions:
Leon S & Claire are defeated Ren & Morgana are defeated*
*After three turns*
Salazar:Strange? I heard from my guards that there was a third intruder? Where in the world did it go?
Baby:A third intruder?
Salazar:What about you?
*Both of the cloak figures respond mainly with silence*
Salazar:How can no one catch this thing?
?:GAH! HELP ME! THIS PLACE IS SCARY! IT'S UN "BEAR" ABLE!
Ryuji:What the!
Makoto:That voice. No? It can't be?
Ann:If the pun had anything to do with it. Then that must be?
*A strange cartoon-ish bear with a zipper around his neck appears from one of the stairways*
*Teddie Circus from Persona 4 Arena plays*
?:Geez this place is big. I can barely get around before I lose them again.
Naoto:Teddie!
Kanji:What's he doing here?
Teddie:Hmm? Oh! Naoto-Kun and Kanji-Kun! He-Hey guys!
Naoto:What are you doing in a place like this, Teddie?
Teddie:Well I came here purely because I got sucked into this red circle. Apparently this really hot robot woman was chasing me, as a person with this charming "Bear"ristics should expect.
She tried to high tail me when I was following Haru-Chan and Sumire-Chan.
Ryuji:Of course he would be trailing behind them.
Yusuke:Are you by chance aided by one of the other investigation members?
Teddie:Oh no, I am soloing this task. A man like me needs pride to take into account when being the dashing hero!
Trish:So this bear thing is supposed to be your ally?
Naoto:Indeed. He was our go to when it came to information in the world of Shadows.
Teddie:The best guide there is!
Byako:So given what you said, this robot woman must be Byaka. Which means she must be the sole reason how you guys got here.
Teddie:Yep! However before all of that, I was running about in this sea fare town first?
You see I was tailing another girl who came to me from the tv world and warned me about this enemy we fought beforehand. However I have yet to know where she is? She left shortly after I followed Haru and Sumire.
Kite:Just where is Aura?
Haseo:Not to mention the presence of shadows we were told from Futaba.
Teddie:Oh yeah, I forgot about those. They um seem to um? Dang it. What was it about them that I forgot about?
*Suddenly, Swordy EXEs appear on the waters of the chamber, with Bug Born Alphas and Queens. Head Hunters appear at the steps leading up to the second area, and on the waters near the group was AIDA Annas*
*Stairs of Time from .hack/Link plays*
Haseo:Seems like they got here in time before we could finish.
Kite:So The World and the NET is leaking from here. Then we mustn't falter for a moment!
Blackrose:The more both worlds seep into the real world.
Protoman EXE:The more dangerous it will be if realities collide.
Salazar:What are these intruders! Get them out of here! I demand an explanation!
*Dependent Basalts, Mad Cyclops, Justice Swords, Corrupt Towers, and Spurious Books appear around the cultists*
Akechi:More shadows!
Kanji:Better get ready, guys!
Akechi:Just what is going on in this game of yours.
Haseo:If only we knew.
Teddie:Great! As things weren't tough enough! Where's the other guy I was with?
Hitomi:Other guy?
Teddie:Yeah! This really buff dude with a sword! As strong as he was, his choice of clothing makes me wonder how he'd ever find fashion sense.
Katee:That being?
Teddie:He seemed to only wear blue underwear?
Gillius:You don't think?
Tyris:Is it possible?
Segata:You two seemed informed. I can only guess it's him alright.
Axel:Who exactly?
*Teddie joins as a Solo Unit*
*After Ten Turns*
Salazar:You seem too far to rescue them. At this rate, they will all be turned into us.
?:I wouldn't say that if I were you!
*A man who was exactly like Teddie's description appears and cuts down the cultists holding Haru and Sumire*
*Wilderness from Golden Axe plays*
Gillius:Well I don't believe it!
Tyris:Sir Ax Battler! But how!
Ax:No chains can truly bind a warrior such as I. I see the young bear has survived his encounter with our enemy!
Teddie:No kidding! That guy packs a punch with his weapon!
Adder:Battler! You won't escape my clutches again!
*Death Adder appears on the bridge near Salazar.*
Adder:I should have killed you when I had the chance!
Ax:And it was your last mistake, Adder. You will submit now and return that relic back to it's proper home.
Adder:Never shall I let go of my weapon. Your demands will never be met. But mine will once I chopped you down in your prime!
Ax:I'd say we even the odds. Come you two, we have a battle to win.
*The Two girls get back on their feet*
*Last Surprise from Persona 5 plays*
Haru:What happened?
Sumire:Did we get away?
Ax:Far from that, madam. We still need to rush through.
Haru:Huh? It's Joker! And the others!
Sumire:Senpai! And Akechi too! How did you guys get here!
Xiaomu:Entering the front door, obviously.
Haru:Who are these people with you?
Ren:Allies of ours, Haru. Sumire, can you and Haru still fight?
Sumire:We are always up for battle, Senpai.
Haru:Wait? Did you use our real names?
Naoto:I'm pretty sure all surnames are off the table.
Phoenix:Is that really true?
Miles:Pretty sure it is, Nick.
Joe:Man this is so cool!
Salazar:What brings an interloper like you here!
Adder:Simple. We plan to take this castle. And plus my ally demands a rematch.
Nightmare:Souls!
*Nightmare appear near him. While Charades spawn around the fountain*
*Raise Thy Sword from Soul Calibur II plays*
Sophitia:Nightmare!
Cassandra:So what does the walking armor want with us now?
Nightmare:I demand a battle between me and him! His soul will be mine!
Siegfreid:You seem so inclined to take me. But it will not happen. I refuse to be controlled nor absorbed.
Nightmare:You can not escape fate! You will die by my hands!
?:Hehehe…. If you will give up such a sword. Then it shall be favored towards me.
*Two swords suddenly crash in front of Nightmare, as a pirate with distinguished clothes appear*
?:Come to me, dark blade!
Nightmare:You! You are not worthy to wield Soul Edge!
?:Oh I believe I do. I have wielded you once. And I shall again!
Marth:Who by chance is that!
Ike:Looks like some sort of pirate.
Natsu:Oh no. It's that old geezer ghost Valentine.
Taki:Cervantes Valentine more specifically.
Yoshimitsu:Long ago, the pirate once wielded the blade. But its power ultimately killed him as a result. However he still had a fraction of it and was revived, sailing across the seas to take the blade back. While haunting his daughter, Ivy.
Cervantes:I will have Soul Edge back! It belongs in my hands and my hands alone!
*He strikes at Nightmare, but is blocked by Death Adder*
Adder:Quite amusing. So many desire this sword. I can not wait for the next hardy fool to risk their life to take such a blade. Nor should I take it for myself.
Nightmare:Enough of this! You will die, knight! Die so that I may reclaim what is rightfully mine! Your soul!
Siegfreid:Never again shall I be a slave to your will, demon.
*Haru & Sumire pair up, Haru taking point.
Ax Battler joins as a Solo Unit*
*Updated Victory Condition:
Save Ashley before Turn 20 Do not let Cervantes defeat Nightmare*
*Updated Defeat Condition Cervantes defeat Nightmare*
(Cervantes will target only Nightmare,but can be targeted by all other enemies)
*After Fifthteen Turns*
Salazar:Enough! I have had it with all these interruptions! It's time we bring forth our own allies!
*Alpha Hunters and Ebitans appear out of the Water, with two Garradors appearing out of the doors the group had entered*
*Accelerating Chaos from Namco X Capcom plays*
Salazar:My game will not be ruined by interlopers! I won't allow it!
Leon S:Seems like you are on the shortest fuse yet.
Salazar:Shut up! I will not be humiliated like this! My return was supposed to be one to revel and fear! But my castle can't seem to be invaded left and right!
I have had enough. You two! Handle this mess. I will not deal with these fools. But I expect this castle to be rid of these insects.
*The Figures take off their cloaks,revealing almost bug-like skeletal figures.*
Felicia:Ugh! They're disgusting!
Fong:honestly would expect that from parasites.
*Salazar Leaves*
Sumire:So he just left?
Ax:Which means we are free to rescue the princess.
Ashley:Is that really all I am in this situation?
Leon S:Well at least we can rescue her without his input.
Dante:Hmm. I feel something coming.
Lady:What do you mean by that?
*At the door Salazar exited, Nelo Angelo appears*
*Ultra Violet from Devil May Cry plays*
Dante:You again? Last time I saw you, you were fighting with my bro. So what brings you here exactly?
Nelo:...
Dante:Always gotta be the silent type in conversations. Well I might get something out of you when I beat you up.
Nelo:...
*Sin Scissors appear near the water,while Marionettes in Purple and Green appear in front of the bridge*
Adder:Hmm? Quite the interesting being. I must admit, to see someone like you seems tempting. Might I get some fun out of fighting with you?
Nelo:...
Adder:This shall be an exciting fight. Come forth,demon!
*Title Call from Project X Zone plays*
Chapter 90:Castle of the Damned
(These after defeat quotes are if they are defeated before rescuing Ashley)
*After defeating Cervantes*
Cervantes:Hahaha! You think this will stop me! You will come back to me,Soul Edge, But not right now. That time will come. I swear to it.
*Cervantes retreats*
*After defeating Nightmare*
Nightmare:This blade will have your soul and body once more! You can not escape fate!
*Nightmare retreats*
Siegfreid:Never again.
*After defeating Death Adder*
Adder:You may have won this battle,Ax. But you and your misfits can barely scratch the surface of our ultimate plan. It shall be done before you know it.
Ax:What do you mean by that!
Adder:Until then.
*Adder retreats*
Tyris:Damn him.
Gillius:Just what is he planning?
*After defeating either Verdugo*
Verdugo:...
*It retreats*
*After defeating Nelo Angelo*
Nelo:...Dan…..te..
Dante:What?
*Nelo Angelo retreats*
Dante:Did that guy just say my name? He did talk before we stopped him for the last time.
Who is he..
*When rescuing Ashley, all remaining bosses and enemies retreat*
Leon S:We got you,Ashley.
Ashley:Thanks. It's about time. Just why does this happen to me out of all the things in the world?
Leon S:Well at least you aren't infected this time.
Ashley:Whatever. Just get me out of here.
Byako:No problem,Miss Graham.
*Byako fires a teleportation Orb at her,as she sent back to the US*
Kite:So where is Aura?
Aura:Kite….Help me..
*Aura comes out of the Fountain and meets up with the group*
Aura:I must inform you of the trouble The World is in.
Haseo:We're all ears, Aura.
