Tifa was irritated. Having your shoulder dislocated would do that to a person. She had her and Yang's food on hand and was walking towards the room. "Damn debates. Making me snap like that." She fumbled around in her pockets for her keys and turned the lock.

When she entered the room, she dropped the food at the sight of what she saw.


It was worth noting that the ones who sided with Meta had a similar experience with either A.I, technology, being demonized, or being manipulated.

Tony was on his side because of his sympathy for being manipulated by an A.I (Nobody ever let him forget about his abusive boyfriend).

Dante was on his side due to being demonized by his well, demon heritage.

Bowser sided with Meta due to knowing what it's like to be a villain.

Deadpool was on 'team meta' because… He's Deadpool.

The ones rooting for Carolina had their own more personal reasons.

Spidey sympathised with how she took responsibility for her actions. And the fact that she reminded him a bit of MJ.

Cloud was on her side because Tifa was friends with Yang, and Yang's homeworld was made by the same people who made Carolina's world.

Flash and Quicksilver both liked the fact that her armor enhancement was speed-based.

Master Chief once worked with Carolina's friends, and another time, he met her mother. Chief wanted to see Carolina win the fight.

And despite the fact that Tifa wanted to stay out of it for Yang's sake, she was rooting for Carolina. Mostly because Yang needed more friends around… Well, that and the fact that having Carolina's autograph was a good enough equivalent to having Pyrrha's.

Yeah, Yang still owed her that autograph. How nobody pointed that out is beyond me, but whatever.

Cap appreciated her dedication to her friends. And while he had admitted that many of her victories came from having a team backing her up, she was still very much a team player despite her competitive nature.

There were even bigger comparisons between the two than most thought.

Meta was simply a tank while Carolina was basically a jack-of-all-stats.

Then there was that little fact that Carolina was at a different skill level when she was in project freelancer, and when she was with the BCG on Chorus.


Yang sighed as she carried Tifa to the medical room. Apparently, the bartender had fainted. Yang had no idea why she had, Tifa just… Did.

Mega Man and Astro Boy apparently weren't in the room anymore, so Yang set about looking for something to shake her friend out of her coma.

"Where the hell is that stuff?"

Yang needed a way to shock Tifa's system, she had already placed her in the proper recovery position on a cot so Tifa could properly recover.

She snapped her fingers, "Right, some fruit juice should do the trick!"

Yang left the room to find the kitchen.

By this point, you probably figured that this is the point in the story where a new person comes into the room and tries to help despite someone else already trying to help.

The next person who walked in was Princess Peach. "Oh dear." She placed her hand on Tifa's forehead, checking her temperature.

"I should try to find an energy drink for the poor girl." She figured, remembering what to do when someone faints.

She started out of the room when she heard moaning come from the cot. "Ohh… Ugh…"

"Maybe I should get Cloud. He mentioned that Yang isn't up to coming out of her room for a bit, so he's probably the next best one." Peach reasoned.


"Carolina's entering the fray with Epsilon. How does that work?" Deadpool

"Hey, if Crunchbite and Omega can bring Flowers back from the dead, then Charon Industries can do it for The Meta." Spidey replied.

"Honestly, I'm surprised that people want to see this 'Carolina' person fight that Pyrrha girl." Pietro mentioned, "That's basically the equivalent of sending Stark over there to fight my pseudo-father." He gestured toward the Avenger in question.

"Hey!" Tony replied indignantly, "I can demagnetize my armor, you know!"

"Okay, let me rephrase that." Quicksilver started, "It's the equivalent of sending you to fight one of our resident thunder gods and expecting you to wreck them." He corrected.

"Hey, I could totally wreck Raiden's shit!" Tony replied.

"Right." Spider-Man drawled out, you can beat a guy who could teleport right into your arc reactor, and forcibly overload it."

"He has a point, Shellhead," Deadpool pointed out, only that symbiote armor of yours could stop him."

"And even then, you'd have to start with that move to begin with. I don't see you beating any of the gods we have here."

"Shut it, Strife." Tony grumbled.

"Cloud? Cloud!" Princess Peach entered the room, searching for the swordsman. Upon locating him, she grabbed his arm, "Cloud, Tifa's fainted! We need to do something!"

"What?" Cloud's eyes widened, "Let's go already. She probably needs our help!"


Tifa was groaning in discomfort. She had seen something that she thought that she would have never seen in her life. Something that was basically a crime against nature. She had seen-

"Hey, Tifa. Peach said you were in the med-bay. What happened?"

Tifa got up slowly, trying not to exert herself, "I saw something. It was…" She shuddered as she recalled the memory.

"It's alright Tifa. Just tell me. We can work through it together." Cloud comforted. "Now, what happened?"

"Okay," Tifa took a deep breath, and exhaled, "IsawYangandshehadshoulderlengthhairanditwasunnatural!" She said in one breath.

"What?"

Peach perked up, "Oh, she said that she saw Yang with shoulder-length hair and that she found it unnatural." She said as if she was reminding someone what day it was.

"What was this about my hair?" Yang walked in.

She had a grey jacket on, and long jeans. Stitched on one of the legs was a cartoonish bumblebee design. An orange tank top was under her jacket. Her emblem was on her left sleeve, and the right sleeve was tied off.

But, as Tifa had said, the most noticeable thing, was Yang's once luscious, vibrant waist-length hair, was now just past her shoulder blades.

THUD!

"Oh, come on! Really?"


This is a good place to stop. Right?

Deadpool: Hell if I know. But I do know that Meta will win.

Alexis: Tweet tweet TWEET!

Deadpool: Aw, c'mon, Al, I know you're a lot like Tex and all, but that still doesn't mean she's your daughter.

Wade, I think she just wants to root for Carolina.

Alexis: Tweet tweet…

You're really not helping to stop those quips.

Alexis: Tweet *Sweatdrops*…

Just for that, you're doing the disclaimer.

Alexis: *Now holding up a sign that covers the disclaimer. Y'know, I don't own these characters and all that legal stuff.
