Sabine:Really? I think you fit just right,Kurino. Hehehe.

*Yusuke Kitagawa & Makoto Nijima paired with Oliver*
Pre Battle Oliver:Paint me a wonderuse painting,and I will give you a fine appraisal.
Yusuke:Hmmm. How to make this actually work? Maybe if you were skinner?
Makoto:Are you actually going through this?

*Ling Xiaoyu & Hwoarang paired with Pai Chan*
Pre Battle Pai:I heard you once trained under the legendary Baek,Hwoarang?
Hwoarang:Oh yeah. Master sure was a strict sensei back in the day.
Xiaoyu:Certainly more so compared to old man Wang.

*1P & 2P paired with Agent 3*
Pre Battle 1P:One,Two, Three. Seems like we three got this battle in the bag.
2P:Despite his size and age. This little guy can keep up with us.
3:...

*Cody Travers & Axel Stone paired with Ulala*
Pre Battle Ulala:Hello Space Cats! Today we got a special interview with our Cop and Robber duo.
Axel:Are you sure this is what the news should label us as?
Cody:Pretty sure all of the authorities will be hot on our trail because of this special report.

*Armor King & Jon Talbain paired with Knuckles*
Pre Battle Knuckles:You guys are accustomed to fighting with your fists. I think we three can get along nicely.
Armor:Then I shall hold them down.
Jon:And allow me to use my precise strikes.

*Lloyd Irving & Colette Bruel paired with Pelleas*
Pre Battle Pelleas:It seems your life has fallen the same path as lady Micaiah.
Colette:True. But we both strive against what became of our powers.
Lloyd:Besides. Me and Sothe kept your heads on the ground rather up in the air.

*Shion Uzuki & MOMO paired with ROB*
Pre Battle MOMO:What company or corporate would go out of their way to make a robot like him?
Shion:I believe he was made years ago when humans lived in simpler times compared to our era.
ROB:...

*Frank West & Chuck Greene paired with Mike Haggar*
Pre Battle Mike:Seems like you guys had your fill with Fortune and Willamette. How about a trip down Metro City?
Chuck:Honestly I take evil street gangs over zombies.
Frank:Hopefully I can get a scoop besides anything related to the Mad Gears.

*Dwayne Davis & KG paired with Katee (Byako Armor)*
Pre Battle Dwayne:Having these two could really make things easier in Green.
KG:Ever consider joining with the Zaps?
Byako (Armor):Guess we would give the name a literal meaning.
Katee:Pretty sure literal hell will be brought to Green Harbor if we fought for you…

*Cathedral ~ Hidden Forbidden Holy Ground from .hack/INFECTION plays*
Kite:What's going on, Aura? Why are you here in the real world again?
Aura:Destruction is spreading across the server, Kite. It seems AIDA and this Bass program are the source. However The World is slowly being corrupted from an enemy I have never seen before. But during my time trying to maintain the situation, I have come by and found reports that could relate to the entity in question. This being seemed to have been reported by a specific name. And that name was reported long ago during a strange incident in the city of Inaba.
Naoto:Inaba? Wait could that be?
Kanji:This entity connected to us?
Teddie:Indeed. Aura was asking for my help since somehow this game of theirs started leaking into the world of Shadows. I was just minding my own self and saw a strange monitor appear.
Different from just your normal tv I guess. I peered in a bit too close and well fell in.
Ryuji:Doesn't seem like the smartest thing to do.
Teddie:Anyways! I fell into what seemed to be a city with waterways.
Blackrose:Sounds to me this thing is located in the Aqua City of Mac Anu.
Ryu:Right. That's the city me and Ken got dropped into after heading to Roppongi.
X:Do you think it's dried up like our battles with Due and the others?
Aura:No. The city still has water. But this enemy has been spawning what Teddie has told me before to be Shadows.
Mitsuru:Well if that's the case, we better investigate.
Aura:Allow me.
*Aura summons a Chaos Gate, allow access for the group to enter*

*Stairs of Time from .hack/ plays*
*The group appears in the city, however. Some of the group are separated, As the bridge is blocked by what looks like a digital fire wall..*
Reiji:Seems like everyone is accounted for. Byako:But what's with the bridge? Why is it like that?
Kite:Could be the work of an enemy Katee:Well at least we are all fine But now the real question must be answered.
Where is the source of the shadows in this area?
Aura:Hmmm? It was here not too long ago?
Haseo:Well that blows. How are we going to destroy this thing if it's gone.
Sonic:Maybe those flying blocks up in the air could give us a clue?
Tails:What?
*The group look up to see a set of black,red,white,yellow,gray,and blue blocks circle in the air*
Teddie:That's not good!
*The blocks assemble on the bridge,as it forms what looks like a pixelated character.*
Naoto:Hold on? That form. It can't be?
Kanji:Oh no! Is that!
*The completed form starts to move almost to that of a character from an older era of gaming.*
*I'll Face Myself (Shadow Mitsuo) From Persona 4 Golden plays*
Teddie:No way! That's Mitsuo's Shadow! What in the world is it doing in the World!
Akihiko:Just what is that!
Ann:Wait! You said it's someone's shadow,right?
Ryji:Did it turn the World into its palace!
Naoto:Most likely. To explain. This shadow was the other self of a former student of Yasogami High, Mitsuo Kubo. During the investigation of the Midnight Channel, Mitsuo indirectly tried to take credit for the murders in the incident.
Kanji:The crazed moron didn't accept his shadow as himself, and caused that thing to appear.
Teddie:Never accepting who they are with their shadow causes them to create this bearserker mode!
Yusuke:I see. I feel like we have seen this before.
Makoto:This must be similar to Futaba's Shadow rather than the shadow versions of the various hearts we had to steal.
FutabaCom:Wow. I really dodged a bullet for not rejecting mine then.
Ren:Still. We better go and destroy it. Any strategies?
Naoto:Just keep attacking it. But what's strange is how is it here? Most shadows stay within palaces. Not to mention the real form of Mitsuo's Shadow isn't inside that armor of his.
Kanji:Well if that's the case, we better go ahead and just break it till it's just a single cube.
Shion:Well that work?
Teddie:I mean it worked before.
?:Wrong..
Byako:What?
Shadow M.:I am a Shadow, the true self. Humanity's emptiness and weakness to live without reason or emotions. I am what humanity will become. An empty void. Allow me to show you all the future reality will dissolve into.
*Two more copies of Shadow Mituso appear. Along with that, He[dhu&_ers, Black Hole Infantry, GG Knights, GG Crossbow Archers, Darkmech EXEs and Nghtmare EXES around the bridge's crossing.*
Gilgamesh:Seems like they brought in their forces.
MOMO:More of those Black Hole soldiers from the Advance Wars Simulator.
Teisel:Not to mention enemy units from Gain Ground.
Protoman EXE:Seems like this thing got busy taking various sims to aid it in battle.
Kite:Everyone! Focus on taking on this Shadow thing! If we can beat it,the torrent of enemies will stop!
Haseo:How can we with that barrier

*Victory Conditions:
Defeat Shadow Mitsuo*

*Defeat Conditions:
Kite & Blackrose are defeated Naoto & Kanji are defeated*

*After defeating a few enemies*
Kite:Seems like this shadow is working alone.
Haseo:Well at least we don't have to deal with them.
Yusuke:Say,haven't you noticed the water bubbling lately?
Ryuji:What do you mean by that?
Kogoro:Now that you mention it.
*The water gurgles until Hierophant appears out of the water.*
*Muddy from The House of the Dead 2 plays*
G:That's the creature that came out of the waters back at Willamette!
Frank:How the heck did it swim all the way here?
Chuck:Pretty sure it didn't swim from that tiny body of water.
?:Oh? Isn't it simple,Cabron?
Gene:Oh great.
*Elvis appears near one of the edge areas*
Elvis:Thought you heard the last of me,Muchachos! Now we are gonna play the music for real this time!
Demitri:Beelzebub isn't quitting on being a hindrance to us.
Elvis:Well as long as you guys are stopping his plans,and that boy wields the godhand still. You should expect some trouble,pendejo!
Morrigan:But even with that,you would be the type to go after us anyways, Elvis.
Lilith:Besides. I bet you must be furious after what we did with Sharron.
Elvis:Oh don't you think I could forget. No one hurts that little chica and gets away with it! I'm going to send you all down to the boss! Let's go,Cabrons!
*Deva Male and Female Thugs appear around the entrances to the bridges,while Ebitans come out of the water.*
Elvis:With Nebiroth,we got the power to control just about any zombie.
And that's not all.
*Aquatic Water Creatures appear out of the water.*
*Accelerating Chaos from Namco X Capcom plays*
Zelda:Zoras!
Elvis:Ah so you know these water demons. They started appearing within the depths of Makai. However when we saw them, Beelzebub thought they were this fish race in the human realm.
Donovan:Wait? He must be the species Rikuo is.
Bishamon:Seems to be the only conclusion.
Elvis:Like it matters. There's no running from here,compadres! Now let's dance!

*After defeating a Zora*
?:Not so fast! I will not have this continue!
*Out of the waters was a green skinned merman.*
*Rikuo's Stage from Night Warriors:Darkstalker's Revenge plays*
Rikuo:They are innocent, being slaughtered under the minds of chaos!
Morrigan:Speak of the devil. It's been a while since our last encounter, handsome merman.
Rikuo:Spare me your introduction,Aensland. I will not give you a warm welcoming handshake while you try to spill the blood of another aquatic survivor.
Donovan:We had no choice. Rose:I can try to free them.
?:That's good. No more shall we be used as pawns.
*A young blue aquatic woman appears near Rikuo*
*Sequence of Drops from Hyrule Warriors plays*
Zelda:Princess Ruto! It is a surprise to see you here.
Ruto:As to you,Princess Zelda. I was following Rikuo who plans to help my kind find safety.
With the Domain gone, all we could do was flee into this realm. However we were captured by the demon man there.
Rikuo:Her kind reminds me a lot of mine. I will not let another species of the deep ocean disappear at the hands of annihilation. Elvis:Elimination? I doubt you will suffer that. We only wish to ask for your gratitude.
Katee:Says the guy who is mind controlling them. I'd say we free them. And give them our gratitude.
Rikuo:I can agree to this. Come Princess.
Ruto:Right.
*Rikuo & Ruto pair up, Rikuo taking point*

*Updated Victory Conditions:
Defeat Any Zora with either Palutena & Medusa or Rose & Menat*

*Updated Defeat Conditions:
Defeating Any Zora without the required units*

*Zoras will not move and engage with the party, but will attack any that reach their area*

*After freeing all Zoras*
Zora:Where are we?
Ruto:My people!
Zora:Princess! Where are we? Where is our king?
Ruto:I have no clue where my father is. But we will find him once we flee from this area. You must all go somewhere safe while we deal with our captors.
Byako:Allow me.
*Byako fires a teleportation orb at the Zoras.*
Rikuo:Where did you send them?
Byako:They will be welcome in the place of Lady Otohime. I am sure her castle can accommodate.
Palutena:I had contacted her prior to the teleport. She is fine keeping them safe until we can relocate your domain, Princess.
Ruto:You have my gratitude,Goddess.
Rikuo:Now to punish the demons of their evil intentions.
Elvis:It won't be easy, you know. Because my boss tells me you got some more company coming your way.
Mii:What company!
?:I'd rather just skip the formalities. Besides, we have unfinished business.
Mitsuru:What!
Akihiko:Wait! It can't be.
*Takaya walks in between the two buildings near one side of the bridge*
*Unavoidable Battle from Persona 3 FES plays*
Takaya:Thought you can just get rid of me and my new utopia. I honestly should repay the favor for what happened back in the Majigen.
Medusa:How in the world did he get out!
Pit:Subspace is pretty hard to navigate.
Takaya:But it is easier when you have a being who can cross worlds as well. The Distortion Dragon gave us a way to leave. However only the dimension stays locked in that realm. Which is why I must repay you for destroying what is our greatest hour.
But rather than taking our forces out of there, Jedah has sent us with some required tasks. One wish is to hinder your forces. Plus to eliminate traitors retreating to this old demon king of theirs.
Elvis:Hey. Don't blame us, your utopia got stuck in another dimension. Our master knows when it's right to leave a sinking ship, ey?
Takaya:It's more than just that, it seems. Let's say we have bigger plans now that the master plan is in motion. And I just want to keep the ball rolling. So let me bring you all to my hour of time.
*The Skies suddenly darken, as Shadows appear all over the map.*
Akihiko:Impossible!
Mitsuru:This Demon of theirs allowed Takaya to conjure the Dark Hour!
Akihiko:But yet everyone is still here?
Takaya:It is a very different Dark Hour,you two.
For it contains a portal from our good friends in the ghostly remains.
*Spectral Monsters, Q-Bees, and Dark Nuts appear*
Now how about I finish what I should have done long ago! KIlling those who wrong our finest moment!
*Takaya fires his gun at Mitsuru and Akihiko, causing them to have only 10 hp left*
Mitsuru:Damn you!
Akihiko:You won't get away with that!
Takaya:Oh there's more to it than that. Allow me to show you what true power can do.
*Takaya summons a strange man. This man was covered in dark painting marks,with dark hair.*
*Normal Battle from Shin Megami Tensei III Nocturne plays*

Ren:Who is he?
Takaya:A demi-fiend. A being that survived a strange event Jedah had told me once happened on earth. The Conception. We found him walking in a portion of the Makai that was sucked into Subspace. Yet a latent power lays dormant in him. Which will serve us well.
Dante:Hmm.
Trish:What's up Dante?
Dante:I don't know why. But I feel as though I met this kid before.
Lady:Interesting to say, Dante.
Demitri:The Demi-Fiend. I have heard tales of these beings. Mostly able to contact and converse with demons.
Morrigan:Hope we don't get sweet talked into joining his forces.
Demifiend:...
*Title Call from Project X Zone plays*
Chapter 91: See Man,See Demon

*After defeating the enemy holding either barrier up*
*The Barrier breaks and dissipates*
Teddie:Alright guys! Let's get 'em!

*After defeating Hierophant*
*The creature explodes*
G:Seems like we won't have to deal with that mutant for a while.
Rikiya:We can only hope,G.

*After defeating Elvis*
Elvis:You really went all out,ey pendejo! But this is only a sample of what's next!
*Elvis retreats*

*After defeating Takaya*
Takaya:Impressive. But this is far from over. Right now the rest of Strega is finishing our next phases in order to truly make those who have wronged us suffer. Until next time, SEES.
*Takaya retreats*

*After defeating the Demi-Fiend*
*The demon retreats*
Lilith:Hmmm?
Morrigan:What's on your mind,Lilith?
Lilith:I feel like this demon of theirs feels empty. Like he's missing something.
Morrigan:Maybe finding this thing will help him leave Jedah's forces.

*After defeating all copies of Shadow Mitsuo*
*The last one breaks away and vanishes.*
*All enemies leave upon the last Mitsuo's defeat*
*Go Next from Project X Zone plays*
Aura:I thank you for saving the server from this corruption.
Haseo:Sure thing. Well it seems we can go then.
Urashima:And about time to.
*The DragonTurtle flies in.*
Urashima:We got just as much trouble out in the real world as we do here.
Byako:You got that right.
*As the group leaves, Aura feels a disturbance*
Aura:Wait… What was that?

*In the Dragon Turtle, Urashima looks at a communicator.*
Urashima?:Master! Igotthemfinallytoleaveandgotoourlocation! IknowittookawhilebecauseIwasborrowingtimebutwaitedwaytoomuch! ButIgotthemonacollisioncoursetour-
