~Crossover Cove~

"Harry thinks that Hope is in darkness, because of what he had seen at the party with me and Lockon." Vanille said, feeling guilty. Fang looked at Shirou, examining him and his brand. "He doesn't look like much, how do you know this guy, Light?" Snow also looked at Shirou and said, "We're going to need all the help we can."

 

Darelen was about to answer when Roxas did it for him. "Hope left. When he saw Vanille with Lockon it... tore him apart." Taking the note from Harry(who I hope didn't mind... get it? Hope?... nevermind), he handed it to Lightning. It had the poem on it. "He crushed it under his foot, then he disappeared. We don't know what happened to him..."


OOC: Will post with the others later.

 

​

"Hope..." she muttered under her breath, obviously upset despite trying not to show anything. Suddenly she spun around and started to walk away.
"Snow, I'm counting on you to keep everyone on track." she told him.
"Whoa, wait a minute now." Sazh said, blocking Lightning's path. "Where d'you think you're going? He vanished. That means there's no trail to follow, no clues left behind, nothing. None of us have even a single idea on where to start looking."
"Somebody has to try."
"And we will. Together, once this whole Primarch thing is over with." he assured her, placing a hand on her shoulder. "The best thing we can do right now is make sure he has a home to be brought back to."
She fell quiet for a long moment, thinking on what he had said, before finally nodding slightly.
"Alright. Stopping Barthandelus takes priority, you're right. Let's go."

 

Snow smiled and nodded, Fang and Vanille did the same, though Vanille gripped her chest, thinking of Hope. Fang looked at Sazh, Lighting, and Shirou, "So, do you guys want to keep the others waiting? They're gonna back up for the fight against Barthandelus, you know."

~

Harry slashed through a Cie'th that was coming up close to him, and ran with the others when he bumped into someone. A young woman with a long ponytail in the back of her hair, while they didn't see it, when they bumped into each other, something from the woman passed onto Harry. Harry stood up and helped the woman up, he felt embarrassed and didn't ask for her name.

 

​

Shirou looked in the direction of Lightning. Clearly confused about this whole l'cie business, but he just assumed that it was another word or type of Master or something. "Hey, Lightning. I don't really get what is going on, but I'll help you no matter what happens. Even finding your friend." He looked at her resolutely, showing his determination. "I won't let you down."
He looked down at his command seal, and again thought of Saber. I can't let myself fail here... I've got to get back to Saber... wherever she is.

 

​

OOC: Oh bugger, I didn't answer Fang before. Will do that now.

"We met Shirou not long after losing you guys." Sazh explained to Fang when she asked. "He's pretty capable, and he says he has his Eidolon, so we're good there."
"I believe you." she told Shirou, nodding at him carefully. She knew that he was as capable as Sazh had said, and even if he hadn't been able to do an awful lot to the Berserker they met earlier, neither had they until the last minute.
"Let's get moving before Barthandelus can ruin any more lives." she decided, drawing her Eidolith from her brand over her heart, a tossing it through the portal before diving through after it.
As she fell through the air, she shattered the crystal with a quick swing of her blade, summoning Odin into the air before her, and landing on his back as he changed into his Gestault Form, Sleipnir. Drawing the great blades of Zantetsuken, she lashed out at her sides, where several weaker Cie'th were gathered, taking them out with a single hit and waiting for the others.
Sazh followed quickly, drawing his pistols and spinning them around his finger as he came though the portal, shooting his Eidolith in a similar fashion, ending up with him landing squarely at the wheel of Brynhildr's Gesault Form.

~Sky City; The Horrid Truth~​

The Doctor and M reappeared inside the abandoned Jedi Temple. They were sure that nobody was going to find them in there.
"M, I need a few explanations."
"Those being?"
"First, why didn't you wait at the Star Destroyer's crash site? I was looking all over for you. I thought you were dead!"
"I told you, Doctor. I couldn't stay there. In case you didn't notice, we just finished up a fight against a planet-destroying toddler."
"A what?"
"She called herself the "Unbreakable Dark". Turns out that it was some kind of program controlling a little girl's body."
"So what did you do?"
"I didn't do anything. It was this Dearche girl who stopped her."
"I see. What now?"
"What you do now is you hold up your end of the bargain. I defeat the Empire, which I did with the help of the others on board the Saint's Cradle*, and you take me back in time to before Mario's death so I can stop it and save the kingdom from the hell that it's in right now."
The Doctor sighed.
"The thing about that is...I can't."
"Excuse me!? And why's that?"
"Something's messing with the time stream. I had a hard enough time getting here because everything was fluctuating in the stream."
"Then explain to me this: How the hell would you know if there was a problem with the stream if you didn't move through time to get here! You only moved through space!"
"That's exactly my point! It's a problem when you see weird fluctuations when moving into the future or the past, but when you see them while you're only moving through space, then there's a huge problem!"
M lowered his head and thought. If there was something wrong with the time stream, the Doctor would be the first to know. It also would explain why it took so long for him to get back to M.
"Alright. Fine, I believe you. What do we do for now?"
The Doctor sighed.
"I hoped you wouldn't ask that."
A look of sorrow came over the Doctor.
"When I was trying to get to you, I accidentally moved into the future a little to far. It wasn't long, less than a week maybe. What I saw...Was horrible."
M looked closer at the Doctor, fear in his eyes.
"W-What is it, Doctor?"
"I shouldn't be telling you this, but I trust you. You just have to promise you won't repeat what I'm about to tell you to anyone. Understood?"
M nodded.
"What I saw...Was the destruction of Earth. These enormous sentient robots called Reapers were attacking the Earth in fleets. Nobody stood a chance. Luckily you and the rest of those on the Saint's Cradle made it off planet safely. Also the girl we saw earlier escaped."
M fell to his knees. He may not have been a resident of Earth, but the destruction of an entire planet always seemed to bring fear to him.
"Did...Did you see anything else after that?"
The Doctor shook his head.
"Take me back to the Saint's Cradle, Doctor. That's my escape route."

*M believes the Empire was beaten

~The Saint's Cradle; The Party Continues~​

While the Doctor was dropping off M, Sonic had followed Levi out to the Party.
Some people were leaving, obviously to finish a mission they had.
"Nice party. It's got a stage and everything." Sonic said, walking into the party.
Meanwhile, Zero and X were still clueless to the aspect of a party.
"Look, I've already explained it! Parties have music, food, and people!" Naruto exclaimed, trying ever so hard to get them to understand.
The reploids just looked at him as if he were a maniac.
Naruto sighed.
"Forget it. I'm gonna get some food-"
Naruto's eyes lit up when he caught the sight of Ramen on the other side of the room.
He sped over to it, nearly as fast as a certain blue hedgehog, and began gorging himself with it.

 

Darion charged through lines of Cie'th, yelling some stuff and making some ghouls come out of the ground. Nothing new.
Darelen drew his Eidolith. "Khione, time to get to buisiness!" He jumped up into the air and threw it into the ground. A shower of snow appeared and there was Khione in her Frost Phoenix form. He landed on her and followed the others, firing some explosive frost missiles from his hands as he did so.

Meanwhile, the Doctor had gone into his TARDIS, and who should show up but Zexion, who'd gotten bored with Vexen reading out the theories of Estien in his own manner. "It's bigger on the inside... fascinating... it must be inter--" "dimensions. Yes. I'm the Doctor." "I'm Zexion. What's wrong here?" "Well, if you look on the screen... " "Time fluxuations. Visible from here, which means there..." "Really, really bad. The main points seem to be here and..." "Moving towards here as we speak, so you're going to..." "Interscept it, yes... would you like to be my companion sometime?" "You mean a sidekick?" "More like someone I travel with." "Done. This is far more interesting than Vexen ranting on about how his replica's should've been perfect when the answer is obvious." With that, they set off to interscept the other main fluxuation point... which unbeknownst to them was another TARDIS...

The Joker thought. "Well, my wish isn't as big as world domination... but it'll still help you in the way you want to be helped. I wish that Harley Quinn would break up with me." He stated plainly.

 

​

Suddenly, Kyubey's ears perked up as though a strong wind was catching them, and his eyes glowed slightly, as did Joker in general. When the light dimmed, the Joker was wearing a completely different outfit*, and his phone was in his hand, ringing.
"Wish granted. You are now a Puella Magi. Kyu." he said, 'smiling' at him.

 

Snow, Vanille, and Fang summoned their Eidolons, and rode through the portal in their Gestalt Modes. Snow created ice salutes as he rode past the Cie'th, which were shattered by Fang and Bahamut. Vanille fired a multitude of bullets from Hecatoncheir, wondering where those who were going to help were. Harry and the woman fought the Cie'th that surrounded them, Harry groaned, somehow he was separated from the others and slashed through Cie'th and gasped for air.

 

​

Shirou watched as the others summoned their servants from thin air. Most of them ridable...
Shirou pictured for a second that Saber was a ride-able lion, but albeit... that was no the case...
He wouldn't call Saber with his last command seal for this anyway. He didn't want to put her in danger if he could help it, and so...
He projected the two Zantesuken blades that Lightning was using from her Servant, and Shirou charged forwards after them. It looked a bit silly to be frank... that everyone but he had summoned their servants, but he didn't care as he slashed through these weird enemies that reminded him of the likes that a Caster class Servant might summon.

 

"Come on, boy! Where's your Eidolon?!" Fang shouted at him, slashing Cie'th from atop Bahamut's back. Vanille went up beside her and said, "Fang, if he doesn't want to show his Eidolon, then he won't." "Fine, wonder where Vanitas and the others are?"

 

Ichigo went to one fo the rooms the was actually peaceful as he sat down, eyes closed before he felt himself plunge into his inner world, funniyl enough, he didn't wear his party outfit but his Shinigami attire and standing ona sideways building as he saw a ruggish man standing in wait for him, it was his partner, Zangestu as he spoken.

"What brings you here, Ichigo? I do not sense any wavering emotions from you and it hasn't rained." He asked and Ichigo looked at him. "I guess, I need someone to talk to, Old man Zangestu." He said and Zangestu took a step forward. "Then what is on your mind, Ichigo?"

"...I guess.... everything, there are so many different people here. I can sense many different spiritual energies, some that aren't even human." he said and Zangestu stood there, lsitening. "It's true, their spiritual energy is much different from anything we encountered before."

"Yeah... I miss everyone back home." Ichigo trailed off, he hated to admit it but he missed even Kon, that perverted Mod Soul as well and it got him thinking, was he missing from his world and everyone's searching for him? "Never hesitate on what occurs around you Ichigo... don't give into fear, retreat and you'll age, be afraid and you'll die. Zangestu said and Ichigo had to breathe, someone Zangestu's words always seem to comfort him and help him focus in his battles.

 

Too answer Fangs question, Vanitas and his group were west of there position, but working to the same location.
Vanitas had too duck a Cie'th blast and then sliced him. Shepard through some Grenades whilst Xigbar had his Sniper Nobodies summoned. Roxas and Xion were back-to-back and Darion was summoning more ghouls.
Just then, a load of fire with a 'fwoosh' noise came from seemingly nowhere and destroyed half the forces. Standing amist the flames was a guy in a robe, hood and mask. He stepped forward, raised his hand, and spoke. "I am Richard the Warlock. Chief Warlock of the Brothers of Darkness, Lord of the thirteen hells, Master of the bones, Emperor of the black, Lord of the Undead... and mayor of the little village down the coast." He got out a leaflet and handed it to Vanitas. "Very scenic during springtime. You should visit sometime."




OOC: Black = his more 'serious', menacing or spellcasting side... darkred is his general 'Richard the Warlock' stuff.

 

Harry and the woman reached the others after finished their section of Cie'th. Harry sighed and found a sphere on his belt, he touched it and suddenly his clothes changed, in place of his normal clothes, he now wore a white robe that resembled his school robes with red triangles along the edges. In his other hand was a elegant staff, but Harry noticed he still had the Sorting Hat around his neck and the Gryffindor Sword in his right hand. Harry shrugged and sighed.

OOC: What was 'passed on' to Harry was a spare Garment Gird Yuna was carrying, and he is in White Mage.

~Death Star II~​

"Think I found him more intimidating with the extravagant cape." Grievous removed himself from the now larger indent in the wall that will take longer to buff out. He examined his chest to make sure he wasn't leaking, while his armor was virtually indestructible, he had to be mindful not to get stabbed allot. "I'll give you this, at least you didn't shoot me again." With Lukan gracefully sitting atop his horsey, Shiva lying in a pool of water, most of the Stormtroopers either dead or shooting at the ceiling, it wasn't looking good for the General.
It was at that moment a bunch of people appeared out of freaking nowhere and started beating enemies up. Greivous turned his head to look at them. "Well. Apparently I have an army. Since you're lacking a Hulk I'm claiming this a victory." With that the Grievous began running down the hallway away from the newcomers, yelling something at Lukan.

Back up in the control room GLaDOS and AUTO were duking it out, AUTO spinning his wheel around like a top.
"You think you're good? I've read every book there is on lightsaber dueling!-" She was interrupted by AUTO cutting her claw from the ceiling. "Insufficient training."
"...."
Six claws dropped down from the ceiling all holding lightsabers, "Put that in your pipe and smoke it Grievous."
"Been there. Done that. Now I sound like Darth Vader." The General had run back into GLaDOS view and their communications were back online. "Listen, some crazed trooper is riding a horse around down near the core. A bunch of those people from before have taken up the battle against the traitors."
GLaDOS was doing her best to fend AUTO off, but due to his spinning troll technique it was difficult to get a blow on him. "Grand. I've got an angry autopilot up here if you wouldn't mind assisting."
"Must Follow Directive."
"On my way." The General reached an elevator and rocket up toward the control room.

​

~The Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuunderworld~​

Sephiroth and Hades had been watching the party progress, Hades dancing to most of the songs and telling Sephiroth about the time he and Scar sang with the Muses after a wild New Years party. Sephiroth of course was on the verge of dropping Hades down the well, "You said give them awhile to rest, they've had plenty of time to make peace. Grant me my godhood or you're going into the well." Hades raised his hands up and gestured him to back off, "Alright alright, a deal is a deal. Put her there." Hades and Sephiroth shook hands and the entire planet shook slightly. Not really affecting anyone other than Natsu on the island, but noticeable nonetheless.
"There ya go Sephy, 100% brand spankin new godhood. No substitutions, exchanges or refunds." Sephiroth was illuminated with power, his wing even turning a bright blue for a moment before the powers sunk in. "The world is mine." He began to walk out of the chamber, but before leaving Hades offered to give him a hug. He was abruptly flicked across the room and smashed into the wall, leaving a dent that will have to be buffed out later.

Sephiroth teleported into the clouds above Sky City. "Now to test my powers by destroying a symbol of man's strength. This world shall kneel before my might, kneel before their new god." He conjured up a small rock in his hands which lit aflame in a bright blue inferno. "Cast down my judgment, Meteor." He outstretched his arm and blasted the rock toward the city, it multiplied in size by the second until becoming half the size of the city itself. Sky City was familiar with flaming objects crashing into it, it had stood up to plenty, but nothing comparable to the devastation falling from the heavens.

 

OOC: No banners 'cuz none of them are being used.

~Sky City; Death from Above~​

Kiyal was still making her way back home, going about her regular business, when something could be seen in the sky. It was a small, light-blue light.
Or at least that's how it started.
The light was actually a meteor that grew bigger and bigger as it came closer to the city.
Kiyal's eyes widened in fear (mixed with excitement) as she saw her imminent death approach.
She turned away from it and ran as fast as she could in the other direction, until she came across an alley. She ran inside and crouched down next to some garbage cans.
"This isn't happening...This isn't happening...This isn't happening!"

 

​

"An arm-- oh." Lukan began, realising just who it was approaching them; the l'Cie. It looked like it was time to get clever.
"Sergeant Farron?" he asked, approaching Lightning on Odinback. "Commander Elaren Lukan, formerly Cocoon Guardian Corps. We never met, but we've all heard of you.
"We have soldiers and Cie'th everywhere ma'am, and not enough manpower to deal with the threat. Any help you can offer would be greatly apprecia--"
He was cut off by their Zantetsuken blades clashing.
"...guess you're not falling for that trick then. Fine." he said, leaping from his position to the ledge he was on before. "Sorry, Farron, but I have a traitor to catch, and an AI to unplug. See you around."

"I've had enough of people trying to manipulate us." she said bluntly, putting the blades away (somehow).

~~~

His ears suddenly perked up, as Kyubey sensed a huge emotional disturbance elsewhere.
"I MUST GO, MY PLANET NEEDS ME!" he mind-yelled, leaping through the air and causing a sonic boom, before suddenly reappearing elsewhere.

~Sky City~

Suddenly appearing from nowhere, the cat-like form of Kyubey began running through the streets, looking around frantically for the source of the emotion he sensed. Whoever it was was young and female, the perfect candidate for for pedo-Kyubey to transform into a Magical Girl.
Finally he saw the figure, laying in an alleyway, begging for something to save her. He ran to her side, learning her name as he approached, and standing in her line of sight.
"Kiyal Bachika! I'm here to help you, but you have to help me too!" he said, readying his offer. "I can't get you out of here myself, but I can if you wish for it. Make a wish, and become a Puella Magi!"

 

Kiyal opened her eyes to see the small feline sitting before her, offering her a wish.
"A talking cat who knows my name offering me a wish, which will turn me into a Puella Magi...Seems legit."
She then stopped thinking and blurted out her wish.
"I wish to be saved!"

 

OOC: Let's do this.

Kyubey glowed brightly as before, coating Kiyal in the white light he had also used on Joker, before it suddenly stopped.
"Your wish... it is granted."

The revving of a bike engine filled the streets, as a shadowy figure tore around the corner on some sort of customised motorcycle, grabbing Kiyal and Kyubey and parking their butts down on the back set of the streamlined vehicle.
"Hold your butt down tight sis, because this shit just got real!" the driver of it spoke in a familiar voice, before spinning it around on the spot and practically launching themselves away back towards the streets.
Dodging several other vehicles that were desperate to escape, yet going the opposite direction, he directed them towards a huge ramp, that seemed to lead all the way to the top of the protective walls of the city.
"And we are..." he began, tearing up the wooden ramp and launching themselves off of the side of the city limits, continuing on into the skyline. "... out of there!"
