Tales of the Multiverse Bit 236

"Burn this too, Rudy!"

A gleeful Kennedy "Kenny" MacIntosh handed an item towards Ruderford "Rudy" Tucker and upon realizing that Kenny handed him his family portrait, Rudy responded by tossing Kenny head first into the burning drum.

It was another tiring day in Neo-City and the sun was about set, we then head towards the Training Camp where the tired-looking Missisippi Four are seen making their way towards the lounge area but before they could arrive to the area, they came across Eustace Bagge standing in the hallways with his back turned on them.

"Hello, Mister Bagge." Joey Hollard greeted with a rather sleepy expression.

And upon getting closer to the old man, Eustace responded by turning his attention towards them while wearing his scary mask, "OOGA-BOOGA-BOOGA!" he shouted.

"AAAAAAAHHHH!" the Missisippi Four screamed in fright with a sudden jolt of energy and then suddenly "WHAPACK!" "FWOOSH!" "FWOOWOOWOOWOOSH!" Joey materialized a Nerf Firevision Baseball Bat and tried to whack Eustace with it but the old man easily managed to duck at the last second with his mask the only thing that was hit as it flew out of his face while Ozzy Wizner and Suzie Takahashi followed by throwing a throwing knife and shuriken respectively at him which he also dodged and they ended up embedded to the wall before the foursome ensemble made a run towards the lounge while screaming.

Despite the hostile reaction, Eustace let's out a triumphant laugh, "Yehehehe!" he chortled when Shizune Takatsuki and Cal the Exceed approaches him with the former whacking the back of his head with a rolling pin, "Ow!" he yelped in pain before turning to Shizune and Cal whom are looking at him with a stern faces, "What did I do?" he asked while rubbing his head.

"SO THAT'S WHAT IT FEELS LIKE TO BE STARTLED BY EUSTACE UP CLOSE!" Joey shouted.

"NO KIDDING!" Ozzy shouted in agreement while they are closing in to the lounge.

Inside the lounge area, we see Jaune Arc and Lie Ren walking towards the exit.

"So, have you tried this new cereal?" Jaune asked.

"Yeah." Ren replied in confirmation, "It taste pretty good." he admitted.

Suddenly, the Mississppi Four came in running and screaming in fright while running past Jaune and Ren, and at the same time, their outbursts caught everyone's attention, some were surprised and some weren't, and some are annoyed because they know full well the cause of it.

Joey was half crouched with one of his hands were holding one of his knees and the other hand still holding his baseball bat while catching his breath and same was with Kylie Hollard only she was fully crouched, Ozzy was holding a part of a couch for support while also catching his breath and Suzie sat down on the same couch, all slouched while also catching her breath.

Then Aria "Arinah" Sakurada walks towards them with a can of grape juice in hand, "What happened to you four?" she asked while taking a sip of her drink.

"Three words..." Joey trailed, "Ooga, booga, booga..." he sputtered out.

Flannery Faulkner looks up from reading his magazine, "What are you nine?" he questioned indecorously.

"We were only passing by man!" Ozzy wheezed, "And he had to scare us just after a quick hello?!" he exclaimed.

"You know that Eustace has a habit of scaring unaware people." Yousuke Hanamura chimed in, "You should have been aware of that by now." he reminded.

"But we're sleepy at that time." Ozzy reasoned.

"You still need to be aware of it because it's Eustace that we're talking about here." Yousuke advised.

As this is going on, Hikari Karibuchi walked towards Kylie, "Are you okay?" the Fuso Witch asked in concern.

Kylie then looked up to see Hikari with teary eyes while whimpering at the same time, "HIKARIII!" she exclaimed and went for a hug but Hikari stopped her with one hand, "WAAAAAHAAAAHAAAHAAAAAA!" the younger Hollard balled out.

"Aw, great!" Joey groaned with gritted teeth, "Now the old man made my sister cry!" he complained before turning to Arinah with a blank look, "You need to tell Eustace not to do that too much and I don't care if you say that it can't be helped!" the older Hollard demanded.

Arinah raised an eyebrow in response, "Well..." she trailed, "... and I don't really care that it can't be helped that you guys lack awareness of the old man's habits." she replied rather venomously before walking away.

"Oooooh, burn!" the voice of Eric Cartman was heard offscreen.

"Shut up, Eric!" Joey shouted in response.

Suzie sighed, "I guess we have yet to fully get used to this place." she uttered out loud in admittance.

As Kylie continues to cry while Hikari is stopping her from getting a hug, Ozzy and Suzie are seen holding back Joey from killing Cartman when Buccaneer "Buckles" Murphy and Gillian "Gill" Norman made their presence in the lounge area which got everyone's attention.

"Well, what do you know?" Kanji Tatsumi spoke up with a grin, "Looks who's back from the dead.'' he pointed out.

"Sup guys!" Buckles greeted rather weakly while sporting numerous bandages wrapped around his body.

On cue, Mira Fermin and Kanami Etou ran towards him, "Buckles, you're back!" the latter greeted, "Are you all right?" she asked in concern, "We heard that you had a large wound and lost a lot of blood.'' she shared.

"Add the fact that you were unconscious for a few days." Mira added, "What the hell just happened?" she questioned.

"Sorry, girls." Gill apologized, "We we're strictly advised to keep the events from that night a secret." he stated, "But all I can say that Buckles save someone that night and that it was worth the risk." he declared with a smile.

Joey crossed his arms, "That's understandable." he acknowledged.

"But still for a guy whom is labeled as the weakest, you sure have proven that you the had makings of a hero." Alexander "Xander" Campbell II complimented.

"Yeah." Hector Vanguard Jr. chimed in agreement, "You've done something no one expected!" he added.

Buckles facefaulted, "Thanks..." he trailed in gratitude, "... but you should at least leave the weakest part out.'' he admonished.

Before anyone could utter a comment, a pair of arms snakes it's way around Buckles, catching the silver-haired young man in surprise and everyone gasped in shock when a figure latched themselves all over him.

The figure is a mature woman with an average height, she had a slender frame and a fair complexion, she had a waist-length dark-blue hair with a pair of ahoge on top of her head and she had dark blue-colored eyes. She wears a black office uniform jacket over a white long-sleeved blouse, she wears a black pencil skirt over a gray pantyhose, and she wears a pair of black high-heel shoes. This is Meme Touwa.

Businesswoman

Meme Touwa

"Bucky~" Meme called out rather seductively, "I miss you so much~" she moaned.

"Gwah!" Buckles squawked in response, "M-Meme-san, what the hell are you doing?!" he exclaimed with a red face.

Everyone watches in shock and awe as Meme pulls Buckles close to her, "I was so lonely you know!" the mother of one shared, "You were gone for a few nights and you didn't even bother coming to our room." she whined.

"We share a room with two more people, Meme-san!" Buckles reminded.

"Mou~" Meme pouted, "You're such a meanie!" she complained, "Always pushing me away...'' she trailed, "... and yet you stayed over in Mika-san's apartment.'' she reminded

"Puwah!" Buckles squawked in response, "Don't make it sound like I'm sleeping with her!" he exclaimed in utter disbelief.

"She even smirked at me when she told me about it!" Meme cried out.

"What the?" Buckles squawked even louder, "What the heck?!" he exclaimed with a flabbergasted expression.

Meme then moves her face closer to Buckles' face, "But you know..." she trailed, "... I could do a lot better than her.'' she whispered in a very seductive voice, making the silver-haired young man slightly aroused.

Fortunately for Buckles, Kiyotaka Ishimaru made his presence in the room and took notice of the commotion, "Hey!" he shouted, "What in the world you think you're doing?!" he demanded towards the single mother, "That's very indecent!" he chastised, "Release him at once!" he ordered.

"No way!" Meme refused rather stubbornly while hugging the red faced Buckles very tightly like a stuff bear.

"Okay, you ask for it!" Kiyotaka exclaimed before turning towards Mondo Oowada whom is sitting on a beanbag, "Bro, help me pry this woman off from Murphy!" the Ultimate Moral Compass beckoned while marching towards Buckles and Meme.

Mondo then stood up from the beanbag, "All right." he complied, "Men..." he trailed, "... the silver-haired dude is very lucky." he mused.

Everyone then watches Kiyotaka and Mondo trying to pry off Meme whom is completely latch onto the poor Buckles with Kanami, Kanji and Mira aiding them as well.

"I had to agree with Mondo..." Yousuke trailed in admittance, "... Buckles is really lucky that he got two mature hot women eyeing on him." he stated.

Gill chuckled in response, "And I'm all for the carnage." he uttered in amusement.

Bzzzttt...

Meanwhile back in the St. Harmony Island and much like in Neo-City, the sun was about to set.

We then head towards one area of the island where we see Bow Hothoof, Javelin and Yoshika Miyafuji by the lake with the latter two had their legs dipped in the water while watching Rainbow Dash standing still inside a waterfall with the water flowing down hard on her.

Bow then looks at his watch before letting out a smile, "All right.'' he chirped, "I think that's enough, sweetie!" he called out.

Rainbow Dash then opens her eyes and quickly got out from the waterfall, "Ugh!" she groaned loudly, "I finally managed to stay still from that waterfall." she declared, "But it took me five days to accomplished it." she grumbled in annoyance.

Bow chuckled in response, "That may be true however..." he trailed before suddenly lunging towards Rainbow with a powerful elbow strike to which surprises the rainbow-haired heroine but she quickly blocks his attack with both hands and despite being pushed back a few inches, she managed to withstood the strike, much to her shock, "... but you gained something from all that struggles." the veteran pointed out with a grin.

"I didn't stumble down?" Rainbow Dash uttered in shock, "I didn't fall down!" she cheered in triumph.

Bow nodded in response, "Yup!" he chirped in confirmation, "While still not on the same level as me but it's safe to say that you can now withstand heavier attacks." he revealed, "And with that..." he trailed, "... we can now move on the next level of your training!" he beckoned.

Rainbow pumped up her fist, "Oh yeah, I'm ready!" she accepted.

"But sadly..." Bow trailed, "... we'll have to pick that up once we're back in Neo-City." he stated.

"Oh, right." Javelin uttered in realization, "It's our last day in this island." she reminded.

"Shame we can't stay here for much longer but it's in the rules." Yoshika stated.

"I suggest packing up yor stuffs." Bow beckoned, "We'll be leaving this island in two hours." he declared.

Two hours later in the campsite where Rainbow Dash and the others are staying, we see everyone finishing up packing their things and for some odd reason, Edwin "Ed" Horace Williams had packed too much stuffs.

"It's a shame that we had to leave this place soon." Chitoge Kirisaki thought out loud, "I really like this place.'' she admitted.

"Me, too." Javelin uttered in agreement.

"It is a shame." Seishirou Tsugumi added her cents, "But I am pretty curious about Neo-City." she admitted.

"Oh, you're gonna love it there." Yoshika chimed in with a smile.

"Oi!" the voice of Ichigo Kurosaki called out from off-screen, "We're about to leave!" he announced, "Head towards the main beach!" he beckoned.

"Be right there!" Rainbow shouted in response.

After a few minutes later, the Bullet Kingdom alongside Bow, Chitoge, Kham, Kratos Aurion, Rainbow and Seishirou are seen gathered in the main beach area located somewhere in the island.

Chitoge Kirisaki had her hands pumped up, "Okay!" she cheered, "I can't wait to officially start my own training!" she exclaimed in excitement.

"Ojou-sama, I know that your excited but we still need contact the people back at home." Seishirou reminded, "I bet they're worried sick about us." she assumed.

Chitoge pouted in response, "I know that but I still can't help but feel excited." she stated.

"We've already contacted the HQ about your situation some time ago, so it's possible that once we get back to Neo-City, they've already made contact with your love ones." Taro Yamada stated.

"That's good to hear." Seishirou acknowledged.

Chitoge then looks around, "So..." she trailed, "... when do we leave?" she asked, "Are we waiting for some sort of ride?" she assumed.

Eddy Skipper McGee chuckled in response, "Yup!" he chirped in confirmation, "And we're using my ship to get back to Neo-City.'' he revealed.

Chitoge raised an eyebrow, "You have a ship?" she questioned.

Eddy brought out his tablet, "Yeah." he confirmed before pressing a button.

Suddenly a larger than life starship materialized just above the island, catching both Seishirou and Chitoge in shock and surprise.

"Girls..." Eddy trailed, "... welcome to the Central Command!" he declared with a grin.
