"Luke, Link, Erza, Strider, Dante…" Tifa started, "We are on a mission to rescue some of our allies from the villain hotel. There are going to be a lot of bad guys that are going to stand in our way." She stopped pacing, "We aren't going to let them stop us. On this day, we are a rescue squad. We are going in, and we're going to save as many people as we can. Any questions?"
Luke raised his hand, and everyone's attention was drawn to him. "Yeah, uh… I got a question."
"Alright, what is it?"
"Why didn't we do this when I wanted to get my dad out for father's day?" he deadpanned.
Link noted that he had a point, and Strider nodded as well.
"Look, I probably wasn't here for that part-"
"You literally fist bumped Gaara when he pointed out why we shouldn't do it!" Luke argued.
"Look, Yang has valuable information that the bad guys can use to get an advantage over us. That takes priority over rescuing a lost soul." Tifa argued.
"Right. And this has nothing to do with the fact that you just want to have you bed buddy back." Dante quipped.
Link had to high-five the half-demon for the quip he made.
"Let's just go."
"This is Lockhart to Hiryu. What are we up against?"
"Moblins, Tarkatans, a few of that mad doctor's robots-"
"Willy, or Robotnik?"
"- Willy." Strider clarified, "And… Some weird shadow creatures." Strider mentioned.
Tifa looked around the corner, "Do they have bone-like skull plates?" She asked, knowing the answer would be-
"Affirmative."
"Goddammit. Looks like they got those grimm things that Yang fights- fought back in her world." Tifa corrected.
"How does she deal with them?" Luke asked from a different rooftop.
Link responded by pointing out that simply killing them like any normal animal would suffice.
"How are these guys threatening? They don't seem all that intimidating." Luke pointed out.
"Yes. If they were completely silent, I could understand the dangers, but I can hear them growling from my position." Strider said.
"Uh, that might not be the ones that you're looking at, Strider." Tifa said over the comms.
"Crap…"
The fight over the comm lines was a bit brutal. With an occasional grunt, and one of those satisfying Shing! Sound.
"Okay. Strength in numbers. I get it now." Strider noted.
"I'm not impressed." Erza said, "I just pinned several of them to a nearby wall with a storm of swords, and possibly some strange mechanical beings."
"Great. These a-holes have managed to make Terminators." Dante noted, "Yeesh, and I thought my arsenal was massive. These guys have some pretty crazy weapons."
"Well, we need a way to get more of the bad guys out of there so we can get inside without trouble." Tifa instructed.
"Hey, Tifa?" Luke asked.
"Yes, what is it?" The bartender responded, knowing that the news that she was about to get was going to irritate her.
"Strider rushed in while you were talking… Aaannnndd so has Dante." Luke said, hoping that his meager-sounding voice would stave off Tifa's wrath.
"Figures those two would do that." She muttered under her breath, "Okay, now the rest of us, we're going in, quietly. This is a stealth mission, got it?"
"Wait, if this is supposed to be a stealth mission, then why are we here? Wouldn't you want Snake, Sam, or y'know, someone who actually knows stealth?"
… "If this is a problem for you, then you can leave. Y'know that, right?"
"It's amazing that we managed to sneak in undetected." Luke noted.
"I have to agree. It's also crazy that Deathstroke has the flu. If that wasn't the case, we probably would have been shot by a sniper by now." Erza mentioned.
Link also decided to note the implausibility that Joker was in a lab treating Meta like a lab assistant in his latest scheme to try and make Batman his boyfriend… or something. Was it the second Tuesday of a month that ends in the letter Y and has 31 days?
"Look, we can debate the implausibility of how convenient this all is later. Can we focus please?" Tifa asked.
"... Buzzkill"
X: Y'know, I had this whole petty rant here about people and it involved hypocrisy and all that shit.
Wade: So, why'd you delete it?
X: Because I pointed it out on tumblr.
Pinkie: And how is that part not petty?
X: You realize that you and your friends literally dressed the part of a superhero just to show up Rainbow Dash, right? I'm not taking a lesson in humility from you.
Alexis: Tweet tweet tweet…
X: Suck it y'all! I know the show! Go ahead and mock me. This is the last time I'm calling anyone out in these notes. I got tired of it three chapters ago. Mostly because if they're so offended by my idiot comments, they need a life.
Wade: Much like anyone who declares war on a fight.
X: I blame the fact that Power Rangers vs. Voltron didn't have a lot of hate comments. It just doesn't feel like a milestone battle unless there are stupid hate comments for me to dismantle.
Pinkie: Wait! So this means that the entire reason why this story arc exists, outside of all the whiteknights that have irked you personally, is because that fight was really well-received?
X: … Well when you put it like that, it sounds kinda dumb.
Pinkie: THAT'S BECAUSE IT IS DUMB!
