A/N: Interesting greetings there and XYGirl2019 is here, and I would like to thank everyone that read the eleventh chapter of the Multiverse Adventures While Riding On A Bus.
Anyway, enough chit-chat and let's dumpster dive with this story!
Disclaimer: With the exception of several OCs and concepts, I don't own anything.
The scene then begun with the bus neatly parked in the middle of an open area in a rain forest somewhere in the island of Elsaragozademontelban.
Earlier ago, Jason the Watcher had dispatched a number of groups to search around the area and up at north, a certain beloved troublesome threesome are running around without a care in the world.
Eddy the Scammer runs ahead of his friends while stepping on a puddle, Ed the Lump follows from behind but fell into the puddle and when Edd the Sockhead arrives, the sock-wearing stops short and nearly step over the body of water.
"Puddles can be so messy." Edd uttered before pulling out a caution sign and then placing it down next to the puddle, "An ounce of prevention!" he declared with a smile as Ed climbs out of the puddle.
"Hey, Snail boys!" Eddy called out, "Move it will ya!" he beckoned, "I'm not getting any younger." he complained and was about walk off a cliff.
Edd took notice of this, "Eddy! Stop!" he called in panic.
"I got a soaker, guys!" Ed exclaimed ran towards the cliff and then bumping onto Eddy which then pushed themselves off the cliff but for some odd reason, they're standing on mid-air.
Eddy then glared at the tall lump, "Ed!" he admonished, "If you bump into me one more..." he tried to warn him but was cut off.
"Um, guys..." Edd called out with a worried look.
"What?" Eddy asked.
"Improbable alert!" Edd exclaimed.
Eddy gasped upon realizing that they're standing on thing air, he rushes back to safe ground while Ed remained still.
"Come back Ed!" Eddy and Edd shouted at the same time.
"I can jump it guys!" Ed reassured before bending down to his knees.
"No Ed!" Edd and Eddy shouted at the same time as they pulled Ed back at the cliff by stretching the upper halves of their bodies
The trio then looks down the cliff, "Now what?" the brainiac asked in annoyance.
"I'm thinking, I'm thinking..." Eddy replied.
"Can I think!" Ed suggested.
"NO!" Eddy and Edd denied.
As the three boys continues to stare down below the cliff, Ichigo Kurosaki, Monkey D. Luffy, Ryuuko Matoi and Rumi "Mirko" Usagiyama joins them.
"What's this?" Mirko questioned, "A dead end?" she assumed.
"Indeed." Edd confirmed, "It's safe to assume that this area of the forest is devoid of living beings." he claimed, "Aside from us that is." he corrected, "So, I guess it's best that we move on to the next location." he beckoned.
"And that next location happens to be the forest at the other side." Ichigo pointed out.
"So, how do we get there?" Ryuuko asked.
"We either make a big jump or climb down this cliff." Eddy replied, "Either way, I ain't doin' none of it." he admitted.
"Those were your suggestions." Ryuuko pointed out in annoyance.
Suddenly an imaginary light bulb appears above Luffy's head to which for some reason only Ed noticed, "I got an idea!" the strawhat-wearing pirate exclaimed in glee.
"And pray tell what it is?" Ichigo questioned.
Luffy grinned in response before stretching his right arm forward and then wrapping it around his companions, much to their confusion, "Umm, what are you doing?" Mirko questioned and the rubber boy then responded by stretching his left arm and then shooting it towards the forest from the other side before grabbing a tree which made everyone's eyes widen in realization, "Oh no..." she uttered in dread, "You're not gonna..." she trailed.
Then all of a sudden, Luffy launches himself forward while carrying everyone around his arms, screaming while doing so and they screamed even louder upon looking down to see how deep the cliff is.
Luffy, on the other hand, is laughing like a hyena.
Upon reaching the other side, Luffy landed safely on the ground but Eddy slips out from his grasp and is sent flying into a thick bush where the loud sound of bowling pins going down was heard after he collided into something.
"AAAAAAHHH!" the rest heard a collective yelp from behind the bush.
"Did you guys hear that?" Ichigo inquired.
Double D nodded in response, "That was more than one yelp." he pointed out.
"Either your friend can scream different kinds of voices at the same time or he collided with someone." Mirko assumed.
"Let's go and find out." Double D beckoned.
The group quickly recovered from their recent experience and immediately made their way towards the bush with Ryuuko lagging from behind.
"Are we just going to forget that Luffy nearly killed us with that stunt of his?" Ryuuko questioned in disbelief.
The group then walked past the bush and they were greeted by the sight of Eddy lying down on the ground with a dazed expression alongside six figures.
The first figure is a toddler-sized male human/reindeer hybrid with brown fur, he had dark-colored eyes, he had a blue nose and large antlers. He wears a red leather jacket and reddish-brown shorts, and wears a red top hat with a cross-shaped bandage-logo in front. This is Chopper Tony Tony.
The second figure is a boy with a very short appearance, he had a short blonde hair with leaf-like ahoges on top and he had a bright blue-colored eyes. He wears a blue & white jacket with white collar over a light-blue overalls, white & blue rubber shoes, red glasses and red fingerless gloves. This is Chouji Marukura, also known as Marucho.
The third figure is a boy with a short appearance, he had a short brown hair styled in a bowl cut and he had green-colored eyes. He wears a beige buttoned-up tunic with a single square button, a wide collar and purple trimmings over a yellow undershirt with a high collar, purple pants, black socks, and brown and white slip-on shoes. This is Iori Hida, also known as Cody.
The fourth figure is a boy with an average height, he had a short blonde hair, he had black-colored eyes and wear black-framed glasses. He wears a blue long-sleeved shirt and shoes, brown pants and no socks. This is Jeremie Belpois.
The fifth figure is a small stuffed lion doll with a light tan body with seams running up and down the entire thing. The arms and legs each have four white, flat claws which serve as his fingers and toes. A button is placed in the center of the body where his belly button would be. He has two beady black eyes and small ears with pink inside of them. His head is surprisingly flat when viewed from the side and he has a brown, spiky mane atop his head. Hanging from his lower back is a small tail. This is Kon.
The sixth figure had a brown complexion and a slim yet muscular build, he had a fluffy-curly hair, he had dark-colored eyes and had a long nose. He wears an orange open jacket with a ring of circles on his arms and a red cap which had a pointy stub on the end, he wears a pair of rolled-up yellow pants with red suspenders and a pair of boots. This is Usopp.
Cody rubs the back of his head, "What the heck hit us?" he asked, "It feels like I've been hit by a bowling ball." he described.
Jeremie then turns to the dazed Eddy, "A human-shaped bowling ball to be precise." he pointed out.
Upon taking notice of Chopper and Usopp, Luffy's eyes widen in recognition before letting out a big smile, "Chopper! Usopp!" he called out in joy.
Upon hearing their names, Chopper and Usopp looks up and saw Luffy, their eyes widen in recognition before letting out a big smile, "Luffy!" they cheered in response.
The three pirates ran towards each other and then shared a warm embrace, laughing and skipping in joy while at it, much to everyone's bewilderment.
"Fellow pirates perhaps?" Mirko assumed.
"He sure have unique-looking crewmates." Ryuuko commented.
Ichigo then turns his attention to Kon, "Out of everyone I know, I can't believe that I would encounter you first." he uttered in disbelief.
Kon then fell on all fours, "NAZE DA?!" he cried out in despair, "Why does it had to be you of all people?!" he questioned, "Why can't it be Rukia-san or Orihime-san?!" he furthered.
Ichigo's left eye twitched in irritation, "You ungrateful little..." he growled.
"You know this talking stuff animal?" Double D inquired.
Ichigo sighed in response, "Yeah." he confirmed, "This little shit is a friend of mine and resides in my home." he stated.
Kon looks up and took notice of Mirko and Ryuuko, and he is immediately smitten by their beauties, "Wow!" the stuffed animal cheered in joy, "Rukia-san and Orihime-san may not be here but those two knockouts are someone I can live by!" he declared and immediately ran towards the aforementioned females but is stop when Ichigo stepped on him, "Gweh!" he squawked.
"You're perverted as ever." Ichigo reprimanded before turning to his female companions, "If this little shit made some unsavory advances towards you, feel free to tear him apart." he advised with a blank look.
Mirko grinned in response, "With pleasure." she replied.
"I'll do more than just tearing him apart." Ryuuko added.
"DON'T ENCOURAGED THEM!" Kon cried out in panic.
Marucho tips his glasses, "While I'm glad that we're able to meet other people in this island..." he admitted, "... but I believe an introduction is in order." he beckoned.
After Eddy regained his bearings and stopping him at the same time from murdering Luffy, the two groups introduced themselves to each other while Double D explained to the other group about their current situation.
"You guys are here to save us?" Cody pointed out with a smile, "Thank you very much." he expressed in gratitude.
"Yeah." Usopp said in agreement, "I'm so happy to be able to reunite with Luffy!" he exclaimed in delight.
"The others are still missing though." Chopper reminded.
"We've been in this island for days." Jeremie shared, "And while were doing our best to survive, we don't know how long we'll last, so we're really grateful for your arrival." he explained in gratitude.
"No problemo, romero!" Ed reassured with a goofy grin.
"So, what are we going to do now?" Marucho asked.
"Well..." Double D uttered, "... I can tell that you guys seems exhausted trying to survive in this island, so I suggest that we head back to the bus and get you fellows settled in." he explained.
Jeremie raised an eyebrow, "Bus?" he questioned in confusion.
"It's a multiverse-traveling bus that is connected to our main base operation." Double D explained, "I think you'll understand it better if you see it for yourselves." he beckoned.
"I see." Jeremie uttered in acknowledgement.
"Before that..." Cody interrupted, "... there's a something we should do first." he declared.
"Do what?" Eddy questioned.
"You see..." Cody uttered, "... before we came across you guys, we heard a loud noise and we're on our way to check it out." he explained.
"Could that loud noise just be us?" Ryuuko assumed, "We we're screaming a minute ago when Luffy launches us across the cliff." she stated in annoyance.
Usopp chuckled in amusement, "That's something Luffy would do." he admitted.
"I had the same experience before and it's not pretty." Chopper confessed.
"We do actually heard your screams before your friend collided onto us but the noise that we heard before is different." Cody clarified, "It was an explosion." he revealed.
"An explosion?" Mirko uttered in surprise.
"And you all decided to go there?" Eddy questioned in disbelief, "Aren't you suppose to run away from explosions?" he pointed out.
"I told them that before but they didn't listen!" Usopp exclaimed.
"It's true that it's a bad idea to head towards an exploding area but there's a possibility that we might somebody else." Jeremie explained, "I mean..." he uttered, "... what else can make such loud noises?" he pointed out.
Double D thought about it, "You had a point." he considered, "Well then..." he uttered, "... then let's head towards the source of the explosion first and see if we can find somebody there." he stated.
Ichigo nodded in response, "Then let's not waste any more time." he beckoned.
Eddy groaned in annoyance, "Do we even had a choice?" he grumbled.
