*Deadly Whisper from Project X Zone plays*
Masque:Seems Ouma Eastern and Ouma America have unleashed their new pet project.
Eity:What now,Master?
Masque:It means we must further your training if you are to retain some sort of inept power of Byaku Shin. We will need further ways to strengthen your power.
Eity:How so,master?
Masque:I believe I may know a way. We capture or study the defective clone of Saya. She also has the embodiment of Byaku Shin via the golden chain they were able to recover before their plan failed years ago. If we can find out just how can she tap into that power,then you will no doubt gain it.
You yourself were created to the golden chains. So no doubt you have some sort of connection to that lost project.
Eity:Will it work,master?
Masque:I am still uncertain. But for now we better move. Things have gone a bit quite near our base.
Eity:But what of your recent reports from the scouts.
Masque:I know,but we will deal with those later. I will look around to see if anything isn't too unusual. Come,Eity.
Eity:As you wish.
Byaka:Oh,and what about me.
Masque:Hmph,I care little for Saya's toy. What do you want now?
Byaka:Aw,after all the time we spent together. You're gonna just ditch me now that I am fully revealed.
Masque:I just know better if someone is spying on us. Besides as If I owe you something. You just decided to stick around.
Byaka:Hmph. Fine. Luckily for you,I won't be a snitch, Can't turn my back on a face that cute. Hmhmhmhm.
*Byaka leaves*
Masque:The scout reports seemed rather important. Maybe I should look them over. Just who or what freed those who were part of the Portalstone that belonged to the Kouryuuji family line?
I will discuss this further with him later.
*Masque and Eity leave the Facility*
*The Group exit out of Palutena's Temple*
*Rising Stage from Project X Zone plays*
Palutena:I see. Sorry for not really regularly updating with you,Pit. Things kinda got out of hand with those invaders.
Pit:No worries,Lady Palutena. But I wonder,are you planning to leave with us. Who will watch the temple.
Ishtar:I will,young Pit. Me and the Centurions will keep the place safe while you are gone.
Gilgamesh:Are you sure,Lady Ishtar?
Ishtar:No need to worry about me,Sir Gilgamesh. I rather you worry on your ally,Judas. I see great evil with the plans Dimentio has for him.
Stahn:How dare he take our friend and make him his minion!
Rutee:We can free him when we see them again. I just hope he is okay.
Lloyd:So the world is in major trouble again. But for angels to use Colette as some sort of Sacrifice. It's our journey all over again.
Colette:Hopefully we can stop their plan to resurrect this Jubelius.
Bayoneta:Oh no need. I believe by the time we are done,they won't even get the chance. Still,it is a surprise for them to do some sort of sacrifice.
Estelle:Hmmm…
Flynn:Are you okay,Princess?
Estelle:I'm trying to think of at least something I overheard from our enemies during our capture.
Yuri:You sure you want to remember something like that,Estelle?
Estelle:It could at least help. But what was it….Oh yeah,now I remember.
It seems Bison plans to find both Akuma and Seth.
Ken:Now why would Bison try to find those two?
Ryu:It's possible he wishes to absorb their Ki's to make himself stronger. Seth and Akuma are strong opponents for use to take down in the past.
Chun-Li:Seems to be the most logical step. However we still need to know where he or his men are.
Palutena:Bison is a tricky opponent. During our observations,it seems there is already a war breaking out. It's between Druaga's forces and The Three Nobunagas.
Masamune:Oh really. So what are they fighting over. Besides the castles we took back in Corrin's Land.
Palutena:Seems they sent out some of their forces to search from something our Hedgehog friend might know.
Sonic:When did they know about the Chaos Emeralds?
Tails:You think Eggman might have said something about it.
Knuckles:Knowing him,he must have some scheme using those sacred gems. Luckily I manage to shatter and took the pieces of the Master Chaos Emerald with me before leaving the islands.
Byako:So where do you think the first one would be at then?
Palutena:Well,the first one is in-
?:Location confirmed.
*Four Byakuya Mugens appear*
*The Gate of Resolved Fates from Namco X Capcom plays*
Byakuya Mugens:Preparing Teleportation Shift.
Byako:What!
*The group is teleported out of the area.*
*Stain appears*
Stain:Seems like a fun time,doesn't it?
Ishtar:You!
Stain:Relax,oh beautiful goddess. I simply want to even the odds for our various,albeit disconcerting allies, some fairgrounds. Nothing too hard for your friends to handle.
Ishtar:What is your gain,evil one!
Stain:A bit of fun,really. Ciao.
*Stain leaves with the Byakuya Mugens*
*Next to a giant theater,and next to a cafe,a giant wall blocks Ciseaux alongside Blanches,Jaunes,and Orange IIs from the Theater*
*Under the Imperial Flag from Sakura Wars III plays*
Ciseaux:My Coup De Grace can not truly begin if this infernal wall still blocks my forces!
Hopefully she is done sabotaging the defenses. The last thing I need is another roadblock.
?:Hmph,I doubt that woman can destroy the defenses. Given what I heard from the battle at Murasame Castle,there is a war waging inside her.
*Mitsuhide appears,alongside a set of Oda Marksmen and Oda Samurais*
Mitsuhide:If anything,killing her would be the better option.
Ciseaux:But she is still a worthy ally. Trust me when I say she will get the job done. (That katana has truly put a stop to our plans. Giving this woman hope will only destroy her. And we need her alive to at least gain some control over the Kouma. Somehow they keep following her for some reason!)
*Mii,Kogoro,Marth,Caeda,Fox,Captain Commando,Chun-Li,Cammy,Sonic,Tails,Samanosuke,Kaeda,Kagekiyo,Takamaru,Yukimura,Shingen,Lars,Alisa B.,Baby,Mack,Masamune,Kojuro,Erica,Gemini,Ichiro,Sakura S.,Little Mac,Doc,Shinjiro,Zephyr, Leanne,Akira Y.,Jacky,Segata,Mr Game & Watch,Agents 4 & 8,Soma,Alisa I.,Ciel, Nana,Lindow,Sakuya,Kurt,Riela appear at the other side of the wall,near the theater*
Mii:Woah,What happened!
Kogoro:Seems those guys were waiting for us.
Commando:Seems like we are separated from the rest of our allies.
Fox:We can try to establish contact with them right now.
Soma:We can save that for later,look!
Ciseaux:EH? Where did you lot come from!
Ichiro:Ciseaux! What are you doing here!
Mitsuhide:Destroying this place. We sense a strange energy coming from this area. This rabbit knows a bit about this Paris,so we arrived to give aid.
Gemini:Guessing that energy must be the Chaos Emerald.
Mitsuhide:Ah,seems you know of it too. We are simply here to nab one in the name of our lord. Alongside the other Nobunagas.
Sonic:Sorry pal,but we aren't going to let that happen.
Erica:Gah! We are in Paris! Then that wall is the defense wall! We are near the Black Cat Theater!
Shinjiro:You'd think we should have seen the signs earlier.
Jacky:To think we get blasted all the way to Paris from a heavenly place.
Akira Y.:Wouldn't be the strangest afternoon,Jacky.
Ciseaux:Ugh,we don't have time for this. We need to get rid of these fools now!
Mitsuhide:Once that wall breaks down,we will go right in.
Sakura S.:At least the defenses are still in place. Hopefully it can stall enough time for us to get ready.
Victory Conditions:
Defeat all enemies Defeat Conditions:
Allies are wiped out
*After a turn*
*The Defense wall starts to sink into the ground*
Ichiro:What!
Sakura S.:The wall is coming down!
Mitsuhide:Hmph,seems like she's done it.
*Kouma Kagizumes,Sandans,and Ekisha come out of the Black Cat Theater,as Aya-me walks out as well*
*Declaration! Imperial Floral Assault Group from Sakura Wars plays*
Aya-me:Oh,Ogami. Fancy meeting you here.
Gemini:I highly doubt that. So you must be the one who disarmed the wall.
Aya-me:Indeed. That wall was quite the nuisance,don't you think?
Commando:I doubt a wall that is used to protect people from villains like you could be considered an annoyance.
Ichiro:Ayame,stop this. You can't keep letting the Kouma control you.
Aya-me:I told you one too many times,Ogami. I am Aya-me. The Kouma's Chosen. And I will make sure I stay this way. That girl. She was foolish to think she can free someone who has fallen down the deep dark pit of chaos. For we are to be reborn into a greater ascension.
Sakura S.:I refuse to believe that. I know for certain that the real you is still there,fighting to be free again. If only Katee were here.
Aya-me:Enough. I have what I need. Ciseaux,Mitsuhide,let us retreat while we can.
Ciseaux:Right.
Mitsuhide:Hmph. Rather we stay and spill some blood around here just to make sure people knew I was here.
Aya-me:No. We can't allow ourselves to stay any longer. We must return this Gem to the Lord Nobunaga at once.
?:Now what's this talk about a gem?
*Stain appears near the cafe,alongside Neo and Moni*
*Evil Profusion from Namco X Capcom plays*
Stain:My,quite the radiant shine from such a stone. Is it important?
Aya-me:Not to you,Ouma's minion.
Neo:No way Master Stain is a minion! He's the head of Ouma Italy You better show him some respect!
Moni:Otherwise prepare for a death most beautiful! You will at least know you die to someone as pretty as me.
Leanne:Seems they really want to take the priority of killing us.
Zephyr:If you ask me,it's just annoying.
Stain:Now,now girls. No need to defend me. So that gem there. Just what is it?
Aya-me:As if I will tell you.
Mitsuhide:Hmm? Seems Ouma is unaware of what that gem is.
Ciseaux:It is nothing. Just go and hop off,bug.
Stain:A bug? How shallow of you,Mr. Vermin. I for one do know what that gem is.
It's a Chaos Emerald. Ouma's Ears can hear just about anything going off. I am however here for a different reason. And you lot will find out soon enough.
*Dovelies appear*
Stain:Now then,how about we make this a spectacular show!
*After a few turns*
?:My,this place is really vintage here! So retro!
Mii:Retro?
*A man in a black and red suit appears from across the cafe*
?:Mind if we join in this dance?
*Black and white robots with red arms,legs and eyes appear,alongside green,yellow,and purple bunny looking aliens,with a giant pink egged being at the back of the new group*
*Coco Tapioca The Huge Dancer from Space Channel 5 plays*
Kogoro:Now that looks familiar. Lars:What is that thing? Or rather those things in general.
Alisa B.:Why that must be those aliens Space Channel 5 knows.
Soma:To think we deal with those wacky things. Who's the new guy though with his posse.
Alisa I.:Oh I know him. He's...Uh?
Commando:Shadow of the Rhythm Rogues. It seems he has brought the Morolians with him.
Alongside his Rhythm Rogue robots.
Shadow:Ah,if it isn't the diligent Captain Commando. I see you are on patrol. With your whole team no less.
Baby:All except for Sho and Guy. What are the Rhythm Rogues doing in Paris.
Shadow:Well we were looking by until we saw this amazing theater here. We plan to take it as our new base of operations.
Erica:What? No way! The Paris Combat Revue owns this building. You can't just take it from us.
Shadow:Oh but we will. We will dance our way in and use our dance energy to give it quite the makeover.
Fox:So this is Shadow. I heard reports about his group alongside the Morolians. Are they really that easy to take control over?
Commando:I hate to say it,but yes it's true. They are that easy to manipulate.
Kurt:We've seen those creatures fall under orders like with Riemsianne in the past.
Zephyr:Yeah,those aliens appeared when we split to find the pieces of Aura.
Leanne:Right,in that area that was a recreation of a part of Basel.
Marth:What's the pink giant with them? Is that also these Morolians?
Masamune:Got to admit,it's quite obvious to see with the group.
Baby:That's Coco Tapioca. A robot that was constructed by the Morolians. It was under a mind controlled state,forcing people to dance with it.
Gemini:Though I like to dance,that thing is a bit too much.
Ciseaux:As if you want to control this place! We plan to destroy,pyun!
Mitsuhide:So leave unless you want to paint this place.
Shadow:The Rhythm Rogues won't leave so easily without a good fight.
?:This is quite the predicament,folks!
*A woman with pink pigtails in a very strange 70s era-like space attire appears*
*Mexican Flyer from Space Channel 5 plays*
?:Good Morning,Space Channel 5! This is reporter Ulala with the recent news and update on our current reports surrounding the events of the Rhythm Rogues. I am here with you live at what seems to be an older era of Paris. And the sights are sure as lovely as some of our last reports on this lovely city!
Commando:it only seems fair for their best reporter to drop in.
Ulala:My,look out folks,it seems we got a special interview with Members of the Commando team! Captain Commando,what are your thoughts on your arrival at the scene.
Commando:We are here trying to stop evil doers like the Rhythm Rogues and Ouma from causing trouble from the place and taking the Chaos Emerald from their nefarious clutches!
Baby:Are you certain we should really explain our situation to the public,captain?
Commando:No need,I'm pretty sure the viewers know things like these beforehand.
Mack:...
Ulala:Thank you for this enlightening interview. Seems the Rhythm Rogues have taken control of the Morolians once more.
Shadow:Your groupies won't be enough to stop us this time,Space Channel 5. We will soon rule everything around you. For we are the Rhythm Rogues!
Ulala:Nothing can stop a reporter like me. It seems we got quite the line up. As we have returning celebrities like the Nameless Squad,the God Eaters,The Blue Blur,ICPO's Finest,The Leader of Team Star Fox,and even The Heir to theKouryuuji family!
Chun-Li:Since when were we celebrities?
Riela:I'm taking a guess from past experiences…
Ulala:Allow Space Channel 5 to assist you with this swinging report! Let's Dance!
Shadow:Bring it,Space Channel 5!
Stain:A dance off,eh. Seems like fun. How about it,girls. Let's show them how we move.
Moni:Ooooo. Sounds fun!
Neo:Agreed. Let's show them how we groove!
Mitsuhide:This is utterly annoying. Might as well get rid of them before they do something more ridiculous.
Aya-me:I agree. Let's get out of here.
Sonic:No way you are leaving with that emerald.
*Title Call from Namco X Capcom plays*
Chapter 57:Ulala's Shining Report *Ulala joins as a solo unit*
*After a few turns*
?:What in blazes is going on here.
*Near the ends of the Theater,Masque,Eity,Maidens,Bear Natures and Oceans appear*
*Evil Profusion from Namco X Capcom plays*
Masque:Just what is the meaning of this,Stain.
Stain:Well if it isn't my big brother.
Masque:Stain for the last time. I am not part of your family. You continue to taunt me with that,I will make sure you pay dearly!
Moni:Aw come on,Master Masque. No need to be so grumpy.
Neo:We could hold you and pet your head if you want?
Eity:The master said stop. We came here to discuss matters,but it seems your flimsy master has brought problems to our doorstep.
Masque:Indeed. Just what are some of Shinra's Allies doing here? Or better yet,what Nobunaga's forces are doing here.
Stain:Well it's simple. It Was I who brought them here. I simply wanted to challenge them in some fun. So I separated them from each other. However it seems Nobunaga's forces are trying to find the Chaos Emeralds. It seems our Scientist eggheads are trying to do something with them. But I have no clue really on what they do.
Ciseaux:Fool,you know exactly what they can do!
Stain:Hey,zip it,Zipper!
Masque:Hmm. These Chaos Emeralds. We will reflect on that for later. Right now we need to rid these pests now.
Stain:Already on it.
Masque:However,the last explanation needs to be said. Why are the Rhythm Rogues here?
Stain:I have the faintest clue besides capturing the theater here.
Masque:Of course that is their reason. Well let's go ahead and fix this. Eity,I am counting on you for some training.
Eity:Yes Master.
*After defeating Ciseaux*
Ciseaux:NO! And I was so close too!
*Ciseaux Retreats*
*After defeating Mitsuhide*
Mitsuhide:Hehehehe. That was quite exhilarating. Though I may be defeated,it doesn't mean I am done for destroying any of you.
*Mitsuhide retreats*
*After defeating Aya-me*
Aya-me:Ogami,Sakura!
Ichiro:Ayame!
Sakura S.:You're still here!
Ayame:I am. You need to get me out of here! I don't want to continue this cycle of endless strive. Find Katee. She promised to free me. I want to make sure she finishes promise.
Aya-me:Errrr! Damn that girl! She dares to give hope to you! I won't allow it!
*Aya-me retreats*
*Sonic picks up the purple Chaos Emerald from where Aya-me was*
Sonic:One down,six more to go.
*After defeating Neo*
Neo:Noooo! And I was so close to winning. Maybe I'll go and see if Byake needs some attention. Bye-bye!
*Neo retreats*
*After defeating Moni*
Moni:No,no,NO! I was supposed to win! Guessing I'll see Byaki and see if we can make some sort of rehearsal revenge or something. Laters!
*Moni retreats*
*After defeating Stain*
Stain:Quite the fun game,No?
Mii:As if! Now where did you send the others off to!
Stain:How should I know?
*Stain retreats*
Chun-Li:Guessing we will have to find a way back.
*After defeating Shadow*
Shadow:Impressive,Space Channel 5. But it will take more than that to be the Rhythm Rogues.
*Shadow retreats*
*After defeating Coco Tapioca*
*The robot flees*
Ulala:Just what is the Rhythm Rogues up to with the Morolian's weapon? More on that news later.
*After defeating Eity*
Eity:Ergh! They… They manage to beat me?
Masque:Only for now. They won't beat you again. You will be stronger than them!
Eity:Master… I… Alright. I will leave for now then.
*Eity retreats*
Masque:Don't you dare give her that kind of ignorance. She will be the strongest out of all of us!
*After defeating Masque*
Masque:Gah! I won't allow it! I will never allow it! My plan will work! No doubt Ouma America and Ouma Japan are the reasons my plan wil be in jeopardy! I'm out!
*Masque retreats*
Mii:Great,so how are we going to find the others? We got separated from both our transport and Byako.
Kogoro:Milady I think I know one way.
Mii:Really? I haven't done it in so long though.
Chun-Li:Nah,it won't be so hard to find them.
Erica:Yeah,Go ahead,Mii.
Mii:Well alrighty then.
*Mii puts her hands together,as she starts to channel energy,within a flash of light,they are teleported out of the area.*
