The team for the second new world had arrived on a beach, but everything seems normal and peaceful around here. The heroes looked around in confusion and found no morphoids.
"Huh, is this world not under attack?" Takashi asks.
"We should keep your guards up everyone. Let's just look around and see if we can find anyone." Saya said as they went off.
They went on the main road and start walking as they see a cop up ahead.
"Hey, there's someone. We can ask that guy where we are." Luffy said.
"Hold on guys, don't you guys think we should stay hidden from the public eye?"
"Eh, why? We're just gonna ask someone where we are at?" Squidward said as Po went up to him.
"Excuse me sir, can you tell us where we're at."
"Oh, why your in-"
As the cop turned around, his eyes widened in shock.
"Sir, whats wrong?"
"AAAAHHHH! T-T-T-T-T-T-T-TALKING PANDA!"
The cop ran away in fear, confusing Po.
"Hey wait! Oh, come on, I'm not scary, am I guy?" Po asks as Saya gives him a stern look.
"Well duh! Of course that guy's going to freak out. You're a talking panda! I'm betting that everyone in this world we entered in will freak out to most of us!" Saya exclaims.
"W-what do you mean?" Hinata asks.
"What I mean is that Squidward, Po, and Zim will scare everyone because they aren't humans while the rest of us are fine." Saya explains.
"Hmm, the human does have a point. I have to wear a human disguise to blend in with the humans in my world. I unfortunately don't have human disguises for you two specimens and because I left my human disguise at home, I have something else that can help the three of us." Zim said as he gives Squidward and Po bracelets.
"What are these for?" Po asks.
"Invisible bracelets, Irken technology. Just press the button and you'll be invisible in no time."
"Whoa! That's so cool!" Naruto said with interest.
"Of course, Irken technology is superior than what you human invent afterall." Zim said with a smirk.
"Ooh! Do you think we can get some too!" Luffy asks with eagerness.
"Tch, of course not! I only gave the other two because they importantly needed it than you human! Let us be on our way now." Zim said as he started walking.
"Aww man, your no fun." Luffy said as he pouted as the group continued walking.
They soon reach civilization as there were people around, going about their day.
"Alright you two, let's hide ourselves so that we won't be seen. Be sure to not bump into anyone, and don't forget to watch your surroundings too." Zim explains as Squidward and Po nod.
The three activate their bracelets as they turned invisible.
"Oh yeah, let's stay close to the group so that we won't loose them too." Zim said as the group began walking in the city.
"You know Takagi, don't you miss how things used to be back at home." Takashi asks Saya.
"Yeah, I'm glad we're in some other place that's not overrun by them." Saya said.
"Them, who are you guys talking about?" Izuku asks.
"Oh, they're referring the zombies that my team encountered when we went to their world."
"Wait, you guys fought zombies?!" Naruto questions.
"Yeah, we had to fight for survival while dealing with them." Takashi said.
"Man, your life must've been rough when the undead started taking over your world, huh?" Naruto asks as Saya nods.
Then Nyu notices a poster on a window as she looks at it and sees that it was an advertisement for an idol group called Franchouchou.
"Nyu?"
"Whatcha find there Nyu?" Po asks while he was still invisible.
"It looks like a poster for an idol group." Izuku said.
"What's an idol group, is it some kind of group of treasure?" Luffy asks as Saya had a surprised look.
"You seriously don't what an idol group is? What are you, dense?" Saya questions.
"Actually, I don't know what an idol groups is either." Hinata said.
"Yeah, same here." Naruto said too.
"Me too." Po said.
"Hmm… I've heard of the term, idol group, is it a singing group of people you humans are familair with?" Zim asks.
"Yeah, I'm surprised you've heard of it." Izuku said.
"I usually research the planet Earth during my spare time to learn about your species culture." Zim responds as Izuku examines the poster.
"Hmm... it says that the idol group is going to be at a place called Furusato Kaikan Arpino. I think we should head there." Izuku suggests.
"Why would we head to a place where an idol group is singing? Aren't we suppose to find the vessel piece, especially fight the morphoids?" Squidward asks.
"True, but I have a feeling that the morphoids will strike there." Izuku said.
"Well, maybe we should go there. I'm also curious as to what an idol group is." Luffy agrees, wanting to go to the event too as the others decided to do so and went their way.
As they continued walking to their next destination, most of the group got stares from a couple of people, which they noticed.
"Why is everyone looking at us weirdly?" Naruto asks.
"Hey guys, we're here." Takashi said as they arrive at the Furusato Kaikan Arpino building.
"Alright, let's see what's inside." Squidward said as the group enter and see a crowd of people cheering for the idol group on stage, Franchouchou, singing a song while dancing.
These members were known as Sakura Miyamoto, Tae Yamada, Saki Nikaido, Ai Mizuno, Junko Konno, Yugiri, and Lily Hoshikawa, as all three of them were finishing a song they were singing.
All: " FLAG o Hatemekasero!
(Fure! Fure! Fure ̄ ! Let's go!)
Kimi no mirai no sugata kitai shite
(Yes! You can do it!)
Hokorashiku aruite ikou!
(Fure! Fure! Fure ̄ ! Let's go!)
Mada shiranai hibi ni
boku ni kimi ni
deau tabi ni deyou!
READY? GO!
The audience cheered for Franchouchou as the group was impressed and amazed, especially Zim, at their singing.
"Wow, those girls were great!" Po said with amazement.
"Yeah… impressive for some humans with their singing talents." Zim said.
But suddenly, stomping was heard as the ceiling began to crack. The stomping continued as everyone was confused on where it was coming from while Izuku realizes that the morphoids are here.
"I knew it!"
As expected, the morphoids burst through the ceiling as the crowd ran away in fear while the group got ready to fight and charged at the morphoids. Squidward, Po, and Zim remove their camouflage as Squidward got out his clarinet and shot music notes at the morphoids. Po punched and kicked the morphoids away as Zim got his spider-legs and laser gun out as he starts shooting and stabbing the morphoids with his weapons.
"GUM-GUM PISTOL!"
Luffy launches his fist onto the morphoids rapidly with Takashi bashing the morphoids with his baseball bat and shifting it to shotgun mode and shoots the morphoids with ease. Izuku activates One For All: Full Cowl as he propels himself and kicks the morphoids in the face, launching them back. Saya starts slicing the morphoids with her dagger as she has an easier time with it while Nyu was rotating her robot claws like saw blades as she too was slicing them up.
"Shadow Clone Jutsu!"
Naruto summons two clones of himself as each one launches a barrage of attacks onto the morphoids with Hinata using Gentle Fist Art: Body Blow onto the morphoids.
"Alright, who's next?!" Naruto calls out.
Then suddenly, a larger morphoid falls through the hole of the ceiling as the morphoid was a crawler as it stared at the group, as they were appalled at there being a larger morphoid.
"Tch, no matter, we've beaten tougher guys like you, isn't that right fellas?!"
"Yeah, we can still take you on!" Po said.
"Nyu!"
The giant morphoid starts spawning more morphoids as the group charge at the giant morphoid with Luffy enlarge his first and punches the giant morphoid in the face, causing it to stagger back.
"RASENGAN!"
Naruto launches a Rasengan onto the morphoids that spawned and obliterates them. The giant morphoid gets back up and charges at the group as it raises it front legs and prepares to stomp on top of the group. It slams it feet onto the ground, causing the group to almost lose their balance, but Izuku jumps and delivers a Detroit smash from under the morphoid, launching it back down onto the ground with Izuku finishing it off with a downward punch into the eye, causing it explode. Izuku jumps back with the group.
"Alright guys, now let's find the-"
Izuku stops and notices the members Franchouchou still on the stage, as all of them were shocked at what just happened. The other notice that Izuku stopped mid-sentence and turn where Izuku is looking, as they too were surprised that Franchouchou was still here and didn't run off in fear.
"Oh uh… hey there?" Po greeted with a nervous smile while he waved his hand.
Saki regains composure as she shook her head and stares at the group with a hard stare.
"W-who the hell are you people?! And what were those weird alien creatures that just came out of nowhere?!" Saki questions.
"And is that an actual talking panda?!" Junko questions.
"Well… we can explain, you see-"
Takashi stops mid-sentence as more morphoids, come from the ceiling, but however, they were hovering instead.
"Oh come on, more of them?! Well, time to take care of them." Po said as the group got ready to fight when they hovered towards them.
But then, the morphoids hovered past the group, much to their confusion.
"Wait, what the?" Luffy said
Saya notices and realize that the morphoids were heading towards Tae.
"HEY, WATCH OUT!" Saya calls out.
"Eh?!"
The morphoids latched onto Tae as she starts thrashing.
"TAE!" Sakura calls out in horror as the other members feared for their friend.
"Um… what are the morphoids doing?" Hinata asks with worry as Zim realizes what they are doing.
"It looks their…"
The morphoids start assimilating Tae as she began to grow larger.
"RAWR RAWR RAWR!"
The morphoids finish their assimilation as Tae was now the size of the larger morphoid as she releases an explosion with blows away the Franchouchou members with them screaming as the stage was destroyed while the party managed to hold their ground. Tae landed on the ground had morphoid eyes on her head and shoulders with sharp teeth showing as Tae's eyes glowed red as she snarled at the group. They also notice that Tae's skin was gray as she let out a powerful roar.

"Looks like the morphoids found another way to possess people." Po said.
"More like assimilate." Zim said as Tae began charging at the group as they got into a fighting stance.
Tae first charges at Luffy and tries to pounce him, but he jumps in the air and launches a Gum-Gum Pistol at Tae as she dodges the attack by jumping back and starts going into a rolling attack as she rolls towards Luffy, who jumps in the air and launches another Gum Gum Pistol at Tae, but she instantly stops and bites his arm down.
"ARGH!" Luffy yells in pain as Tae starts thrashing Luffy up and down and throwing him towards a wall.
"Rasengan!"
Naruto charges at Tae as she looks in his direction and kicks him away. Squidward and Zim their projectiles at Tae as they fazed her a little bit, making Tae speed instantly around Squidward and Zim, causing them to be confused. They try firing at Tae, but were unable to get a hit on her due to her speed.
"Curses, stand still you fool!"
Tae then rams her head onto Squidward and Zim as they crash into a wall. She was then restrained by robot arms from Nyu as Tae starts thrashing out of Nyu's grip.
"Good thinking Nyu!" Po said as he quickly punches the eye off of Tae's head as it falls onto the ground. It tried to slither back to Tae, but Takashi shoots the eye as the goo fell off of Tae's head.
Tae begins to do a head stand as the others were confused at she was doing as Tae's upper body began to spin at a rapid pace, spinning Nyu around.
"NYU NYU NYU NYU!"
Nyu gets launched as Hinata rushes to catch her.
"NYUUUUU!"
Hinata quickly catches Nyu as Hinata landed on the ground with a dizzy Nyu with swirly eyes.
"Nyu..."
Tae lands back on her feet and picks up some debris and chomps it down as she began shooting the debris at Saya.
"Whoa, shit!" Saya dodges the debris by rolling while Izuku launches a 5 percent kick at Tae on the stomach, launching her in the air. She lands on her feet as she sees Izuku incoming.
"One For All: Detroit Smash!"
Tae attempted to dodge, but Izuku manages to hit her arm as it came off when Tae barely dodge to the right while Izuku's eyes widen.
"Ah! Her arm came off!" Izuku cried out.
Tae skids on the floor as she growls at Izuku while only having one arm remaining. As Izuku stared at Tae's right arm, it suddenly jumped at Izuku, catching him off-guard, but Saya throws her Dagger at the eye as it explodes while the goo melted, causing the arm the arm to fall on the ground while shrinking to human size, inactive.
"That was a close one." Izuku said, wondering why the arm came alive.
"Yeah..." Saya said as everyone else regrouped.
"Alright, now all we have to do is destroy the last eye and we're good to go."
But then, more morphoids came through the ceiling and latch themselves onto Tae as they gave her back the eye on the head while giving her a new morphoid arm.
(Recommended Battle Music: Zed Boss Battle: Phase 2-Lollipop Chainsaw Music)
"Are you kidding me right now?!" Luffy exclaims.
"It looks like the morphoids empowered the girl." Zim said as Tae forms a morphoid blade as jumps in the air and attempts to stab the team, but they quickly react as they jumped back.
"Gum Gum Double Pistol!"
Luffy launches both of his arms at Tae as she puts up a shield to block the attack. But then, Hinata hits Tae with a Eight Trigrams: Air Palm that destroys the eye on Tae's left shoulder, followed by a Gentle Fist Art: Body Blow that launches her back. Po then attacks while Tae is in mid-air as he jumps and hits Tae with his Nerve Attack, paralyzing Tae as she falls to the ground as her other arm came off upon hitting the ground. Tae tried to move, but is unable to.
"Alright, now lets finish this for real!"
"Po, look out!" Izuku cries out as Po quickly turns around and sees more morphoids coming towards Tae.
"Not on my watch slime balls!"
Po quickly obliterates the morphoids with his Feet of Furry, but as his back was turned, Tae's head detaches from her main body and rolls away.
"Alright, you shouldn't mess with my Feet of awesomeness, now let's finish thi-"
Po stops mid sentence as he notices that Tae's head wasn't attached to her body.
"What the- where did her head go?"
As Po looked for Tae's head, yet more morphoids come through the ceiling and fly where Tae's head is.
"Serious, how many morphoids are just going to keep powering that girl up?!" Squidward complains.
The morphoids latched themselves onto Tae's head as she now had bat wings as her flew up and starts spitting goo at the heroes as they quickly dodged while Takashi hitting one back at Tae as she spins upwards and back. Tae shakes her head as morphoid tentacles come out from the bottom of Tae's neck.
(Recommended Battle Music: Zed Boss Battle: Phase 3-Lollipop Chainsaw Music)
"Okay, now she looks like something from a horror movie." Saya said with a weird face.
The tentacles come at the heroes as hack and slash, as well as shoot each tentacle away. As Tae saw that the tentacles were unable to get the heroes, she uses her tentacles to burst into the ground and burrow towards the heroes as they grabbed them tightly from underground and hoisted the team in the air. The heroes all tried to break free of the tentacles as they also held onto Zim's robot legs so that he wouldn't use them to break free.
"Come on, we need to... break free!" Luffy cries out.
Then suddenly, Izuku releases black tendrils from his gloves as they latched onto Tae's head.
"Eh?!"
The group were shocked of Izuku's ability as Izuku uses the tendrils to bring Tae down onto the ground hard as she looses her grip from the heroes as they start falling, but Izuku grabs them with his tendrils and places them safely onto the ground.
"Whoa! Izuku, since when can you learn to do that?" Luffy asks with curiosity.
"I unlocked this ability when I was training with my classmates. I figured it was now a good time use it." Izuku said sheepishly.
"Whoa, that's so awesome!" Po cheered.
Unbeknownst to the group, Tae's body slowly stood up and charges at Po, but without having to turn around, Po back punches Tae's body as it falls back down. Meanwhile, Tae's head regains composure as it roars at the group and comes flying at them.
"Not this time."
Takashi aims his baseball bat shotgun at Tae's morphoid eye and shoots it, destroying it as Tae's head gets thrown back as it rolls to the ground while her head and body shirks back to human size and the goo melting off her as well.
(Ost Ends)
"So uh... is she dead?" Takashi asks as Zim takes out his scanner and scans Tae's head.
"The heck... there's still life in this girl, how can this be possible?" Zim questions with curiosity.
"Oh, I think she's a zombie!" Po said.
"What? There is no way that girl is a zom-"
Saya stops as she realizes that Po does have a point.
"Okay, maybe she is a zombie."
"Like the ones from your world?" Luffy asks.
"No! Our zombies didn't have enhanced speed or strength dingus!"
"So should we put her back together? I mean it seems right since she's freed from control." Po asks.
"Is that possible?" Hinata asks as Nyu goes to pick up Tae's head and arm as Po sees what she's doing as he grabs her body and places it on the ground.
Nyu then attaches her arms and head onto the body with ease.
"So Zim, any explanation as to why this girl is a zombie?"
"Not sure, but it probably has something to do with resurrections. Another thing in mind is that why this zombie girl is part of an idol group."
"Speaking of which... Squidward, go check on the other girls to see if their alright." Saya commands as Squidward nods and goes towards the destroyed backstage to see if the other Franchouchou members are okay, but when he saw them, he became surprised.
"Hey guys, you may wanna take a look at this!" Squidward calls out as the others head towards where Squidward is at as they too became surprised.
The unconscious Franchouchou members all had grey skin as some of them had scars with Junko having different patches of different shades of gray as well.
"What the hell..." Saya trailed off.
"They're all zombies too?!" Naruto exclaims.
"If that's the case, then how were they capable of speech and intelligence?" Squidward asks.
"So um... should we take them back to the base?" Hinata asks.
"What? Isn't that considered kidnapping?"
"Hey, my previous team ask your friends if you can come along with us." Luffy said.
"That's because we wanted to, but them (points towards Franchouchou), we're just taking them without their permission." Saya explains.
"Here's the question, do the humans in this world are aware that these girls are zombies?" Zim asks.
"Huh, now that's a good question."
"Well I'm gonna agree with the blind girl's suggestion. We should probably take them back to base without leaving them alone to humans and risk them getting exposed." Zim explains as Luffy goes towards them and picks up Sakura and Saki on his shoulders.
"Ugh... fine, but I'm not going to responsible for this." Saya said as Naruto goes towards them and carries Ai and Junko on his shoulders.
Takashi picks up Yugiri while Izuku carries Lily as the four that are carrying the zombie girls regroup with the others.
The group head back to the front of the destroyed stage as Po picked up Tae and carried her over her shoulder.
"Alright, let's head back." Naruto said, but before they opened up a portal, he quickly realizes something.
"Oh shoot, we forgot to find the vessel piece!" Naruto cries out, causing the others to stop and realize that as well.
"That's right, we should start searching for it now before we leave!" Izuku said.
"No need." Zim said as he suddenly holds up a vessel piece, shocking and surprising the group.
"What the-where did you find that piece, and when?!" Squidward questioned.
"When we were regrouping when the black haired zombie girl lost her arm. As for where I found it, saw it in the parts of the destroyed stage."
"Well why didn't you say anything when you found it?!" Saya exclaims angrily.
"Would you want me too and get the morphoids attention and have things make it harder for us?" Zim asks smugly as Saya catches as to what Zim was implying.
"Hmm, exactly human, now let's back to base." Zim said with a grin as Luffy opened up a portal with the group entering it.
But however, before Nyu went through the portal she sees an unconscious girl with brown hair and glasses.
"Nyu?"
Nyu stretches her robot arms as she grabs the girl, lifts her up, and carries her towards herself. She looked at her curiously as she smiles.
"Nyu!"
Nyu decides to take the girl with her as she enters the portal with the unconscious girl as the portal closes. Unbeknownst to the team, someone was watching the the whole time during their fight against Tae. In the railing was a man with sunglasses looking down at the bottom floor from where he was watching with a serious look on his face.
End of Chapter 15
New Party Members Joining:
Sakura Miyamoto
Saki Nikaido
Ai Mizuno
Junko Konno
Yugiri
Lily Hoshikawa
Tae Yamada
Maimai Yuzuriha
Note: I added Maimai and because I wasn't originally going to have her join the other heroes, but do to me loving and adoring this character so much that she's became my new favorite character of Zombieland Saga, as well as my favorite character that Cherami Leigh voices, I decided to due so as she fits in with Franchouchou, as well as be a worthy member of the group as well. As for the song Franchouchou sang, it's called Flag Wo Hata Makasero just to let you guys know.
Nesthor5000: Thanks and your welcome. I saw the stories you told me about and they're, eh, okay.
Shadow Joestar: Can you not say K.O. Awesome when you replay dude, causing It'll start to get annoying when you keep saying that at the start of your comments. Also, no need to tell Captain Imiginat's comments boring and starting your "K.O. Joe Awesome Comments" here like how you did it in other people's stories, alright?
RonoldM40196867: You're welcome, though the previous chapter wasn't short TBH.
Captain Imaginat: I have no idea what the Secret Show is, and the random names you wrote mean, and don't tell me to watch it as I probably won't. Sokka is not going to have a major role in the future and I never watched Magica world, as I don't have plans for it to be in the series, nor I have heard of this Norm the Genie character. I already have a major villain planned so don't ask as your answer will be incorrect. We'll see if Katara and Toph will interact with Saya and see if she interacts with Sokka too. I have plans for Brock doing his flirtatious on the females that are in or will join the team. I never saw much T.U.F.F. Puppy, so the characters you said are probably not going to appear in the story. Box Ghost, never seen him before as he will not be in the story. Professor Calamitous will not return as the major villain as there will be a new major villain. I never heard of this Bird Brain before so I'm not going to add that unknown character in the story. I also don't know who this "Tabane" is so same answer like my previous ones. As for the rest of your questions, you'll have to wait and see in future chapters for them to be answered.
Koasbite360: We'll see if Aquarius meets SpongeBob and Patrick.
TheonecalledA: It's alright, I honestly agree with you, but I can't remove Brian because of continuity. But don't worry, I got plans for him to make him more interesting, if it works for you. Transformers will not appear in this story and as for the Loud House, yeah, though I haven't seen much of it, I still have enough information of the show to be included in this story. As for Team Anicktoonime meeting Lincoln's family, I'm not sure if it'll be written.
ashketchumlover22: If your referring to that character from Demon Slayer, then I have to tell you this, but Demon Slayer is not going to make an appearance in this story as I've never watched that anime before. Also, do not tell me to watch because I won't unless I feel like it.
TyTylerBarela100: Thanks
