Pre Battle Dan:You two look like you could learn some new fighting moves. Mind if I teach you the ways of Saikyo!
Katee:I mean,it could help learning more ways to defend ourselves.
Byako:I doubt we would survive putting our teaching faith in this idiot.
*Viewtiful Joe & Sexy Silvia paired with Phoenix Wright & Maya*
Pre Battle Maya:You guys are so cool,you should air in an episode of Steel Samurai!
Joe:Oh man,a crossover with Him would be the coolest!
Silvia:I kinda feel more towards the Pink Princess,whatever makes Joe more excited I guess.
*Kagekiyo Taira & Takamaru paired with Ryo Hazuki*
Pre Battle Ryo:I hope I can help with my Hazuki style. But I feel I should have a sword too to fight with you.
Kagekiyo:No need. Using anything you have on your is good enough to fight our enemies.
Takamaru:Even people like us don't need to rely on our blades to get the job done.
*Hiromi Tengenji & Toby Masuyo paired with Olimar & Louie*
Pre Battle Hiromi:Now why would the Hocotate Freight company need from this journey of ours?
Olimar:We are in a huge debt again. Traveling with you might help us find more treasures.
Toby:And yet you already collected some of the Octis we defeated as money?
*Kogoro Tenzai & Mii Kouryuuji paired with Ingrid*
Pre Battle Ingrid:You kids sure are growing up better and better.
Kogoro:Doesn't seem like you are changing with age either.
Mii:Kogoro,you never insult a lady with age!
*The Group try to pinpoint Urashima and the Great Fox's Location,but couldn't find anything*
Reiji:Anything,Byako?
Byako:I still can't seem to get a trace.
There has to be a way to locate them easily.
Xiaomu:Well hopefully we know where,the last thing I need is to be stuck in the middle of a temple area.
Mii:Oh come on,it can't be that bad,Xiaomu.
Kaguya:I'm pretty sure she has done something like this before.
Haken:It sure is fast for her to complain about the situation.
?:Maybe I can be of assistance?
*The Group look to the source of the voice,as the masked boy from before appears on top the statue's head*
*Evil Profusion (PXZ2 ver.) From Namco X Capcom plays*
Dante:It's the kid again.
?:Yes,the kid again. I do hope you refer to me besides my age.
Xiaomu:Are you the reason Urashima and the Great Fox disappeared.
?:Now what makes you say that?
Pit:Well,you kinda were with the one behind the red teleportation spheres.
?:That one is just an associate. Even though you already notice she is your replacement. But me,I have nothing to do. I merely observed the I do know where your petty doctor and the space animal patrol has disappeared off to.
Katee:Then where?
?:The Past once more. The Spirit world seems to gather a strange playing field for our guests. The Doctor's location is there. However the great fox you speak of lies far,but luckily you will find him in the current era of time. Probably somewhere near Italy or something.
Bravoman:I feel that second hint seemed obvious for the location of the ship.
?:Well if you are lucky to get there,you will have to do what you must,but it won't be enough.
*The Masked woman from before appears next to him*
?:Now that we told you where they are,let's have some fun and catch up.
*She fires a red sphere at the group,before they can even react in time*
So,shall we meet with them.
?:Of course,I think it's about time we introduce ourselves.
*The two enter into another red sphere,as they disappear from the temple*
*In a large field surrounded with cherry blossom trees and destroyed feudal era buildings,Oda troops,Zombie Samurais,and Strange alien esc demons roam the area,while on top of a large hill,a boy with black hair carrying a large bow,talks to another boy,having large bunny ears,in a black cloak,and wielding a scythe*
*Everything is Within Battle (PXZ2 ver.) From Namco X Capcom plays*
?:So why do you think our lords put us here of all places?
?:Mainly to find a certain pair of samurais that have been tearing through our troops. Some of the scouts reported that it was a man and woman. One looked oddly dressed,as if it was some strange attire,while the woman dressed as their era of time's clothing. Still it seems strange for me to fight with another who bears my name.
?:Not really my problem. But I have to look out as per the orders of my Lord. The scouts told me another pair of samurais are causing a mess. Most notably the strong one who strikes with lightning and wields six katanas. Not to mention He is a lord of one of the regions Milord has yet to conquer. So dealing with him and his retainer is my top mission.
?:I see,well...Wait.. Do you hear something?
*One of the Oda soldiers is killed,as far from the hill side,The first pair the two heard about appear.*
*Declaration! Imperial Floral Assault Group From Sakura Wars plays*
?:We're too late! The whole place has been destroyed!
?:To think,not only did we get sent back in time,but without our mechs. Just what we needed.
No matter,Ogami,we need to focus and destroy the Kouma here!
Ogami:Are you sure,Sakura? We should at least try to contact the others.
Sakura.:Well hopefully we can find someone to help us.
Wait,look over there!
*The two boys notice the commotion,as they oversee the battle*
?:So the report was true. Ichiro Ogami and Sakura Shinguji are stuck in the past. Perfect. After their affairs with Ouma's plan last time,both me and Dokurobo failed to revive Lord Nobunaga. The Demons of New York will finally be rid of their presence today!
?:So those two are the ones who caused the death of your Lord Nobunaga. They seem like easy targets to shoot. Let's go then.
*The Bunny esc boy jumps off,while the other takes aim*
Ichiro:It can't be! Is that!
Sakura S.:Ranmaru Mori of the Demons of New York. What would bring him to this place? Not to mention that he is back from the dead.
Ichiro:If he is back,then that must mean that Ouma is behind this whole event!
Sakura S.:And here I thought this day didn't get any worse. I wish Gemini or Erica were here. Well Erica maybe…
Ichiro:Last I heard thanks to my Nephew,it seems Erica and Gemini are in Italy because they heard about the sweets there.
Sakura S.:I should have guessed that's the reason they left for their vacations.
Let's go! We need to get to the bottom of this.
*Ichiro & Sakura pair up,Ichiro taking the lead*
*Attack! Imperial Floral Assault Group (PXZ2 ver.) From Sakura Wars plays*
Victory Conditions:
Defeat all enemies Defeat Conditions:
Ichiro & Sakura are defeated
*After defeating a few enemies*
*One of the Oda troops get sliced down,as a man on top of a horse comes down near the destroyed buildings cut off from the others across the bridge area.
The Man leaps off the horse,as it runs off. He stands there,with his arms crossed,having three katanas on each side of his body,wearing black armor with a blue cloak-like vest. He has a giant black helmet,with a giant yellow crest reaching out,almost making a C,while he has an eye patch on his right eye.
*Masamune Date's Theme from Sengoku Basara 3 plays*
?:Alright! Let's Party!
Sakura S.:Who is he?
Ichiro:Seem's kinda flashy with the armor he has.
Sakura S.:The armor,that crest,his one eye,it can't be!
Ichiro:Wait,that description? Is he,the legendary One eye Dragon of Oshu!
Masamune Date!
?:So he is here too. Then this should be easy.
*The boy fires an arrow,only for the arrow to be cut right before it reaches Masamune,as a man with a brown coat,with the yellow crest on his back,appears next to him,as he puts his katana away*
Masamune:Nice,Kojuro. You always seem to arrive just on time.
Kojuro:Milord,now is not the time to be so reckless. You heard about one of the Oda Generals arriving here,we should have stayed out of sight. They have already become aware of our presence.
Masamune:I mean it isn't fun to not at least make an entrance. Surely by now the Demon King would be here to beat us down.
Kojuro:Though it is strange for his army to roam with demons such as these.
Masamune:Heh,I see that as a challenge. So who's the moon rabbit over there.
Kojuro:I have no clue. But it is clear,Ranmaru Mori of the Oda is here.
Ranmaru:How does he know me already?
Ranmaru M.:No,he's referring to me. I am surprised you manage to cut my arrow easily. But I have to say,I won't be going down easily this time.
Masamune:Wait,there are two Ranmarus? That's something to reflect on.
Ichiro:We can explain that. That Ranmaru is a reincarnation. However it seems the other Ranmaru is different from ours.
Masamune:So they are different? That's strange. They sorta look the same.
Sakura S.:I'm guessing it's because they are both kids.
Kojuro:Regardless,it seems we will have to deal with both of them.
Masamune:Seems rough,but then again they do serve Nobunaga. I can't let that slide so easily.
Ranmaru:Fool,Nobunaga Oda can not be stopped. Now that there are three of them,we will not be stopped so easily.
Kojuro:Wait,three Nobunagas!
Ichiro:What!
Masamune:Now that I have to see. Showtime!
*Masamune & Kojuro pair up,Masamune taking the lead*
*After defeating a few enemies*
*A giant red sphere appears,as the group emerge out of it*
*Trembling City of Aris (PXZ2 Ver.) From Namco X Capcom plays*
Reiji:Is everyone alright!
Xiaomu:I think I landed on my butt.
Byako:I'm pretty sure we didn't need to know that.
Dante:Well at least we are alive. And check it out,If it isn't the Imperial Floral Assault Revue.
Ichiro:Man am I glad to see you guys.
Sakura S.:I see you guys love arriving on time.
Kaguya:Well it was more just out of our hands really.
Kagekiyo:What is this place? It looks like it came from our era.
Ichiro:Actually it's ours. But It seemed to be brought back into the past. The whole place was under attack a long time ago by the Kouma. But now it seems to be nothing but ruins.
?:Not really.
*The Dragon Turtle came out of the destroyed building*
Urashima:Nice of you guys to find me. I didn't even need to call for help.
Byako:Well we didn't come here out of chance and luck. I'm assuming Ouma will be here any second.
Masamune:Anyone want to clue me in on what's going on?
I'm still getting over the fact there are now three Nobunagas.
Samanosuke:Wait,are you by chance Masamune Date.
Masamune:Yeah I am. Wait a minute,you look familiar.
Samanosuke:I am Samanosuke Akechi,a samurai who must destroy the demonic forces of the Genma. Me and Kaeda are right now trying to stop Nobunaga.
Kojuro:Wait,an Akechi. Are you a relative of Mitsuhide?
Samanosuke:Yes,but he is different from the one you know. We manage to fight off against him beforehand.
Masamune:Then that means these two don't work for the same Nobunaga.
Phoenix:Man,three Nobunagas. That does not add up.
Maya:Just thinking about it seems bad enough.
Kiryu:Wait,so giving into account,there's one that Masamune is fighting,the one that belongs to Gemini and the Revues,and the demon one that Samanosuke is dealing with.
Majima:Kinda makes you think more than once.
Reiji:If there are three,then things are only going to get harder from here.
Ranmaru:Where did they come from!
Ranmaru M.:Probably from the strange magic of theirs.
Ranmaru:That is no mere magic. It seems Ouma has brought them here,but why?
Ranmaru M.:I guess for us to deal with. Not to mention that giant moving castle over there.
Urashima:it's not a castle?
*After defeating a few enemies*
*Another red sphere appears,as the masked boy and woman appear on the hill the Ranmarus were on*
*Evil Profusion (PXZ2 ver.) From Namco X Capcom plays*
?:Hope you enjoyed your visit to a memory in time.
Ichiro:A child!
Sakura S.:Is he part of the enemy too!
Ingrid:Geez,even the youth can get this rowdy.
?:Yes,even a child like me serves a great purpose like Ouma. But me,I have other plans to go for. I came here to test your so-called resolve.
*The boy removes his cloak,covered in what looks like a business suit,having the sleeves cut in half,connected by small strings of cloth. He takes out of his back some sort of cane.*
?:I am the head of Ouma's European branch. I am Masque. Charmed I'm sure.
Xiaomu:You're the head of Ouma Europe! Urashima:I must admit,we never truly found out what Saya refer to during the last time Ouma had caused this.
Masque:I would rather not fall under her orders during that time. She has disappointed us time and time again. I will not falter from where she has left off to. Saya and Sheath may be bold in their plans,but success was never their strongest asset. I for one will carry Ouma's name into the pages of the novel of victory. For I am a chessmaster. I plan each move accordingly,to the point where not even my lowest pawn is defeated. I will play this game and win it fair and square. I would not need to work on such tactics like trickery.
As for my friend here,she is rather wanting to meet you all.
?:Of course.
*The woman removed her cloak,as she was adorn in a more feminine shape compared to Byako,having a red armor finish then gray. She had long black hair,with the inside of her workings being bronze. She removes her mask,seeing her face being close to that of the Katanas*
?:I am Byakuya Mugen Prototype-A. Also known as the first prototype.
Byako:The first prototype!
?:Yep. Like it or not,Little brother,I am the first. I was created by Saya alone. Rather than the help of both her and Sheath. Let's say I was activated in the events of losing you. You were always Mommy's favorite.
Byako:I was just…. I.. No! I am not like you! I don't care if I wasn't the first! It just means I will prove myself even more so than I have done beforehand!
?:Aw,is my little brother whining because he wasn't first. That's so sad.
Well you do that. Meanwhile I'm just gonna watch the battle go on.
Byako:What,you don't plan to fight alongside your toddler.
Masque:Do not call me a child! You are that of a baby wetting the bed!
Byako:Enough of this,just who are you!
?:Did I already done tha..Oh! I see you wish to know my name.
Byako:Yes. I at least need to know the name of the one I will overcome in the end.
?:Fine,if you are that eager. The name's Byaka. I know it seems simple and redundant,but It's how we are. Besides it's better fitting than the O. I mean the o sounds like Oh no!
Masque:Besides,she isn't the only one who is part of a grand scheme. Unknown to Saya and Sheath,I have a plan of my own that will work in Ouma's favor.
*A red sphere appears next to them,revealing the other masked figure back in Neo Metro City*
?:Master,you called.
Masque:Yes,It's time you introduce yourself. As you are about to witness,I was lucky enough to salvage a chain that was part of Byaku Shin. Ninety Nine may be destroyed,but that doesn't mean the beings of those chains are ever gone.
*The Mature figure removed her cloak,revealing a woman with giant armor,wielding dual axes in her hands,having blue hair.*
Masque:Meet Eity. She is the last surviving Eighty Eight. But thanks to me,I have given her a soul. A purpose. And she inherits the power of Byaku Shin. Meaning she too will be able to merge the worlds together. Though I have looked further into Saya's plan,mine will be more contained.
Eity:Master,shall we remove these fools for good.
Masque:Of course,my dear.
*Strange Green bears with white masks,and women with victorian dresses,wearing plague doctor masks,wielding spiked parasols,with gun tips in the middle appear*
Masque:Meet my forces. The Bertures and my loyal,royal subjects,my Maidens.
Maiden:We are at your humble command,Sir Masque.
Haken:Guessing Ouma Europe seems to have class with their forces.
Xiaomu:Doesn't mean they are not going to attack us.
Maiden:We apologize,but it is our duty to give you a good thrashing.
Maiden:We must apologize for what must be done.
*The bow before reading themselves*
Byaka:Let's see if our enemies can handle this.
Eity:They will not get the chance.
Byaka:Hmm. I feel like I forgot something.
Oh yeah. I noticed a strange reading in the area.
*Strange ghost-like creatures appear near Urashima,being a black ball of energy,some with a face and floating hands,and some with a fully dark body.
*Wild Pokemon Battle From Pokemon Red,Green,Blue,and Yellow plays*
Urashima:Gah! What are these things! Are they the ghosts of the people who lived here!
Pit:Wait! It's Pokemon!
Tails:These must be the ones Professor Oak told us about.
Dante:Seems convenient for them to show up now.
Ryu:I sense something strange in them.
Sonic:Must be that shadow energy he was referring to.
Pit:Maybe if we defeat them,they will faint and the energy will be gone.
Ken:Let's just hope so.
*Title Call (PXZ2 ver.) From Namco X Capcom plays*
Chapter 23:Youth
*After defeating the pokemon in the area*
Pit:We should send them to a Poke Center.
Byako:On it.
*Byako transport the fainted pokemon to the center*
Byako:So what's a poke center? Hopefully I got it right.
*After defeating Ranmaru*
Ranmaru:Damn! To fail again. No matter. My master has returned,that's all that matters to me!
I will have my revenge.
*Ranmaru retreats*
*After defeating Ranmaru Mori*
Ranmaru M.:Man these guys are tough! I have to report this to Lord Nobunaga.
*Ranmaru M. retreats*
*After taking out a small percentage of Eity's HP*
Masque:Can't handle her? So sad. But I don't want to end the battle so soon. I rather see how far Saya's plan falls. Eity! Time for us to take our leave.
Eity:Yes Master.
*Eity goes back to where Byaka is*
Masque:Let's just see how far you can deal against me.
*After defeating Masque*
Masque:Impressive. But that alone won't stop Ouma.
Byaka,we leave now.
Byaka:Sure thing. See you around,little brother.
*All of Ouma's troops retreat via a Red Sphere*
*After defeating the remaining enemies*
Ichiro:Well we are done here.
Reiji:Not quite. We still need to catch up with some of our allies.
Xiaomu:That kid did say the Great Fox was near Italy.
Chris:Doesn't seem so obvious if he blatantly said it.
Urashima:Then let's go then.
*The group enter the DragonTurtle,as they teleport out of the area*
