A/N: Interesting greetings there and XYGirl2019 is here, and I would like to thank everyone that read the 30th chapter of the Multiverse Adventures While Riding On A Bus.
Anyway, enough chit-chat and let's do a dumpster dive with this story!
Disclaimer: With the exception of several OCs and concepts, I don't own anything.
The tale goes on in the volcanic area that lies somewhere in the mysterious island of Elsaragozademontelban.
Crona Makenshi, Eddy the Scammer, Genma Saotome, Happy Masks Salesman, Pit, Ragnarok Makenshi, Ranma Saotome, Ryouga Hibiki and Shampoo, along with some fresh faces like Black Star, Maka Albarn, Soul Eater, Taichi "Tai" Yagami and Tsubaki Nakatsukasa, were all spotted making their way through the blistering hot and sun-soaked landscape.
Due to their consumption of an exceptional beverage, everyone are ambulating without any apparent discomfort, seemingly impervious to the pervasive warmth of the environment.
"So, you guys go to this school called DWMA where both the wielders and the weapons learn together?" Ranma asked.
Maka nodded in response, "Yeah, that's the gist of it." she concluded.
"And you, alongside blue hair, are wielders known as Meisters, and you're paired with weapons like Evans and Tsubaki?" Ryuuko pointed out.
"Actually, I go by Soul." Soul corrected with a gruff tone, "But yes, we're all in this crazy setup." he confirmed.
"Meisters are distinguished entities possessing unique wavelengths." Maka explained, "These individuals are conjoined with weapons when a harmonious resonance exists between their respective wavelengths." she furthered, "The compatibility is predicated upon the synergy of the meister's and weapon's characteristics, ensuring seamless utilization and collaboration." she proceeded to impart, "Conversely, in the event of an incompatible pairing, the consequences can be dire, potentially leading to bodily harm and, in the most severe instances, fatality due to the discordant interaction between the two." she concluded.
"You see..." Soul began, "... we Demon Weapons look like people but we can actually assume the traits of whatever weapon we're based on when we're in our human guise." he furthered, "Now, when we shift into our weapon forms, that's where things get interesting." he explained, "While most of us stick to the classic weapon shapes, like swords and bows, there are some out there who break the mold with more, let's say, unique appearances." he concluded.
Shampoo's eyebrow shot up, "Wait, so you're not human?" she guessed while sounding a bit surprised.
"As sentient beings, the demon weapons are imbued with human souls." Maka articulated, "The manifestation of a soul within these weapons is contingent upon the specific form they assume, often mirroring certain physical characteristics inherent to their design." she concluded.
"Okay, let's just say I get what you're telling me." Ranma replied with a blank look.
"Hey, Crona, Ragnarok!" Pit called out, "Why on earth didn't you guys ever mention this whole Meister and Weapon deal to us?" he inquired.
"Explanations..." Crona mumbled while rubbing their left arm, "... I don't know how to deal with explanations." they stuttered shyly.
"Gyahahaha!" Ragnarok burst out, "Do you really think you're gonna get a straight answer from someone like me?" he teased and his voice filled with mirth.
"Well, he's got a point there." the Salesman chimed in with a knowing smile.
Ryouga then looked over at Tai while raising an eyebrow, "Alright, what's your deal?" the martial artist questioned, "You into fighting too?" he continued, "Do you actually throw down or what?" he demanded.
Tai just shook his head, "Nah, man, I don't fight." he replied, "But I had a partner, a creature known as Digimon, fight for me." he shared.
Ryouga scoffed in response, "Pfft, you've gotta be kidding me." he spatted, "That's like getting a pet to do your dirty work." he described.
"Whatever!" Tai uttered out loud with a casual shrug, "That's just how it is for guys like me." he concluded.
"Real men fight with their bare hands!" Ryouga exclaimed while sounding pretty adamant about it.
"And real men wear pink!" Tai shot back with his voice light and teasing.
Ryouga looked absolutely horrified in response.
Ranma chuckled in amusement, "Looks like he got you there, pork-chop!" he teased and is clearly enjoying the moment.
"Just keep it shut, Ranma!" Ryouga growled in annoyance.
"Well, Eddy's really not one to throw punches." Ranma recalled thoughtfully, "But ever since he started training on his abilities, he's like a force of nature now." he shared.
"Why don't you give the same kind of training a shot?" Ryuuko offered, "It's what Eddy and the others did." she added.
Tai took a moment to mull it over, "I'll consider it." he replied while stroking his chin in contemplation.
"By the way, I'm actually pretty curious about those Digimons." Maka chimed in the conversation.
"Digimon are enigmatic, sentient beings that reside within a parallel dimension known as the Digital World." Tai commenced, "These creatures emerge from a nascent state encapsulated within Digi-Eggs and undergo a remarkable transformation process termed 'Digivolution', which not only alters their physical attributes but also significantly enhances their combat capabilities." he elucidated, "While certain Digimon exhibit behavior akin to that of untamed fauna, the majority of them, however, demonstrate a remarkable level of intelligence, the capacity for human-like speech, and a rich tapestry of distinct personality characteristics." he imparted.
"But why do you hang out with those kinds of creatures?" Soul asked.
"So, imagine I'm like a monster tamer, but with a twist." Tai started, "Those of us who team up with these digital critters are known as DigiDestined." he revealed, "We're like the chosen ones, picked by some pretty nice digital beings to keep both the Digital World and our own planet safe from bad guys." he explained, "When a Digimon bonds with a DigiDestined, it's like they get a superpower boost." he furthered, "Digimon evolve, kind of like growing up, but it's tough." he described, "However, when they're paired with one of us, it gets easier, especially if we're in a tight spot." he summed up.
"That's pretty cool." Pit murmured.
"Now, that's something interesting." the Salesman piped up.
"Makes me want to partner up with one of those." Shampoo admitted while sounding quite intrigued.
Ryouga snorted while waving off the idea, "If you and your Digimon truly care about each other, then where is he now?" he questioned.
"We got split up because of all this chaos." Tai replied in concern, "I really hope I can find him soon and everyone else too." he said out loud with his thoughts racing.
"Don't worry, we'll do whatever we can to help you find them." Ranma reassured.
Meanwhile, Black Star and Eddy are in the midst of a ridiculous standoff, their foreheads squished together like two bald bulls locking horns.
"I'M THE ULTIMATE BADASS, EDDY!" Black Star shouted, "NO ONE CAN TOUCH THAT!" he exclaimed.
"IN YOUR WETTEST DREAMS, BLACK STAR!" Eddy argued, "I'M THE HOTTEST SAUCY SAUCE ON THE SHELF!" he declared.
Tsubaki sighed in disbelief, "Guys, guys, can we maybe have this discussion without turning the area into a wrestling ring?" she beckoned.
Ignoring Tsubaki, Black Star kept going, "I'LL SHOW YOU THE TRUE MEANING OF AWESOME, EDDY!" he exclaimed.
Eddy scoffed in response while flipping his hair dramatically, "Aw, is someone jealous of my heavenly good looks?" he teased.
"Eddy, seriously, you're not helping." Tsubaki chastised.
Eddy shrugged his shoulders in response, "I know, but it's just so much fun winding him up." he admitted.
Black Star growled in annoyance, "I'LL MAKE YOU EAT THOSE WORDS FOR BREAKFAST!" he declared.
Tsubaki rolled her eyes, "Great, now he's threatening to make you breakfast." she grumbled.
Eddy laughed in response, "Oh, I'd love to see what kind of culinary nightmare you'd whip up, shuriken head." he mocked.
Black Star fumes even harder, "I'D MAKE THE GREATEST BREAKFAST THE WORLD HAS EVER TASTED, JUST TO SHOW YOU UP!" he exclaimed loudly.
Tsubaki steps in, "Alright, alright, let's call it a tie for the sake of my sanity." she pleaded, "We're all equally strong and attractive." she pointed out.
"But I'm more attractive." Eddy replied.
"But I'm stronger." Black Star followed.
Tsubaki placed a hand on her forehead, "Both of you, just stop it before I turn into a mushroom from all the BS you're spouting." she uttered out loud.
Abruptly, an ascending column of white smoke manifested and propelled skyward, culminating in a dramatic explosion that revealed a luminous hexagonal gem, thereby capturing the undivided attention of all present.
Genma's eyebrow shot up, "What was that?" he questioned
"It looked like something flew into the sky." Maka described.
Eddy's eyes grew wide while piecing things together, "Ah, I get it now..." he murmured, "... he went with that tactic again." he concluded.
All of a sudden, a massive hologram of Edd the Sockhead pops up right under the shimmering gem, leaving everyone absolutely astonished and amazed.
"Salutations to all present observing this projection!" Double D commenced, "I am fully cognizant of the perplexity you may be experiencing at this juncture but I wish to assure you that my presence is not intended to cause you any distress." he offered reassurance, "Allow me to introduce myself; I am Eddward, commonly referred to as Double D due to the presence of two 'D's in my name." he announced, "I trust that your current disorientation is a direct consequence of being transported from your respective native environments by a nefarious force." he elaborated, "My companions and I were similarly imperiled yet we managed to evade such a fate through timely intervention." he revealed, "Permit me to defer the presentation of further details to a later point but be informed that our collective purpose here is to retrieve each of you from this alien realm and ensure your well-being." he stated with conviction, "I recognize that the veracity of my assertions may be questioned and such skepticism is not without warrant." he conceded, "However, I beseech you to place your trust in my friends and me, as we are genuinely committed to your deliverance." he asserted, "At this time, I would like to inform you that we are situated in a secluded valley, bounded by two formidable canyons slightly covered in lava." he continued, "Please direct your attention to the gem hovering above my cranium, which will guide you to a bus of a dark hue, serving as our temporary haven." he instructed with authority, "I appeal to you all once more to place your faith in our intentions." he concluded with sincerity, "Our unified objective is the extraction of every individual present and the restoration of your rightful homeward journeys." he declared with a smile.
Upon the conclusion of his address, Double D's colossal holographic representation dissipated, leaving the gleaming gem to persistently hover in the atmospheric expanse.
"Who on earth was that?" Tai asked in confusion.
"That's Double D, one of our friend." Ranma answered, "And he's the genius behind the elixirs that are keeping us chilled." he added with a smirk.
"And what's the deal with all that?" Genma inquired with his curiosity piqued.
"It's a strategy to attract individuals to our designated area." Ryuuko revealed, "This approach will not only conserve our energy but also disseminate information about our presence and that we are here as their salvation." she elaborated.
"Lure them to your position?" Tsubaki uttered out loud.
Shampoo nodded in response, "Yes, indeed." she affirmed, "Eddward has employed this tactic on two separate occasions with considerable success." she shared.
Soul's gaze grew contemplative, "But it's a double-edged sword, is it not?" he interjected with his arms crossing over his chest, "This could just as easily attract malevolent entities to our vicinity." he pointed out.
"Pretty much." Eddy confirmed, "But fear not, for our leader has already devised a contingency plan to ensure that no such threats encroach upon us." he assured with a smirk.
"What do you think, Eddy?" Pit chimed in, "Should we turn around?" he proposed.
"Mm-hmm, sounds good to me." Eddy concurred in response, "Let's go back for the time being." he conceded.
All of a sudden, they heard a huge racket and looked over to see where the noise was coming from. There, they spotted five figures being chased by what looked like a bunch of giant pythons that are as big as cars and are covered in lava.
The first figure is a teenage boy with an average height, he has a slim build and a pale complexion, he has a short black hair with three white stripes and he has golden-colored eyes. He wears a sharp black business jacket with white patches over a white-collared shirt with a skull-shaped necktie, black trousers and black leather shoes. This is Death the Kid.
The second figure is a teenage girl with a tall stature and a slender build, she has wipe hips and a fair complexion, she has a mid-length dirty blonde hair and she has blue-colored eyes. She wears a tight sleeveless red turtleneck belly shirt with a white necktie, she wears dark wash jeans, a pair of black high-heel boots and a brown cowboy hat. This is Elizabeth Thompson, also known as Liz.
The third figure is a teenage girl with a short stature and a slender build, she has a large chest and a fair complexion, she has a chin-length bright blonde hair and she has light blue-colored eyes. She wears a tight sleeveless red turtleneck belly shirt with a white necktie, she wears dark bubble shorts, a pair of black high-heel boots and a brown cowboy hat. This is Patricia Thompson, also known as Patty, and the younger sister of Liz.
The fourth figure is a young man with tall stature, he has a muscular build and a pale complexion, he has a black spiky hair with blue tints and he has dark-colored eyes. He wears a black high-collared shirt with a midriff-exposing flak jacket and light blue pants underneath a tattered light brown poncho. He has wrapped bandages around his ankles and a blue sash around his head. This is Sasuke Uchiha.
The fifth figure is a male anthropomorphic hedgehog with a short stature and a silver furred-complexion, he has a slender build and noodle-like limbs, he has a spiky wild hair and golden-colored eyes. He has a scarf-like fur around his neck, he wears a pair of white gloves with golden-colored cuffs and a black & cyan-colored boots with white color scheme & golden-colored cuffs. This is Silver the Hedgehog.
"Hey, isn't that Kid?" Maka pointed out.
"Liz and Patty are with him, too!" Tsubaki chimed in.
"Oh no, it seems they're in quite the pickle with those monsters!" Genma exclaimed with his eyes widening with concern.
"What on earth are we going to do, Eddy?!" Pit exclaimed in panic
Eddy took a moment to ponder, "I'm thinking, I'm thinking..." he murmured to himself with his eyes squinted in concentration when a sudden recollection hit him, "That might just do the trick!" he exclaimed in his thoughts while reaching down on his belt pouch.
