RE: Mario's High School Days

Spoiler

-Shibuya: 109 Building-

After the invasion of their minds, Tommy collapsed with his suit disappeared, revealing his worn and torn body. Thomas caught his brother and teleported to the hospital with Kimberly following him. Ahim gasped for air and asked, "What just happened?" "I don't know, you alright, Ahim?" Luka asked, helping Ahim stand up. Basco and Don managed to stand up, rubbing their necks, Sakura stood and rubbed her neck, "Shocker didn't do anything like that when they changed us, Hinako." "Yeah, but it was a lot more painful, though." Hinako said, Seki just rubbed her neck.

Spoiler

-Memorial Site-

Sakura smiled and nodded, patiently waiting for the memorial to start. Alice tried to ignore the evil auras she was sensing and focused on the stage, Blanca put a paw on her leg. Alice smiled and rubbed his head. Hermione looked around and wondered what was taking Philip and Shotaro so long while Ron held the ring that Haruto wanted and sighed. Kazari sat back in his seat, his hat covering his eyes as he smiled at all the desire that had gathered at the memorial, having come for the same reason as Ankh, and waited to harvest their desires.



-Nintendo High-

"That will be all." Draco said, leaving with the key and the form. He headed for the dorms and found his room, when he opened the door, he found items already in the room and discovered he had a roommate, who was nowhere in sight. Draco examined what his mysterious roommate had, there was a small 15 in' TV, on one side was a few books, some DVDs, and some games with a PlayStation 3 on the end. On the other side of the TV on a sack of books was a PlayStation 2, and behind it was a Xbox 360, all the systems were plugged into a single cord holder, but the PlayStation 3 was plugged into the TV. While Draco was confused by the small collection of rubber ducks, he found a note on the PlayStation 2 and read it:

Gonna spend the break with Sirius, Eiji, and Ankh.​

Be back on Thursday night.​

​

~ H.P.​

The only thing on Draco's mind was, 'Who the bloody hell is this person?'

-Hospital-

Teleporting to a alleyway near the hospital and unmorphed, Thomas put his unconscious brother on his back and ran inside the hospital, Kimberly stood outside, waiting. Thomas ran to the counter and said, "Doctor, please look at my brother. His name is Tommy Oliver, I'm Thomas, his younger twin brother. Please, heal him......" Kimberly stood outside, surprised at how Thomas was acting.



-Central Park-

"Yeah, lets get some food." Joe said with a smile, as he noted to himself that he had missed breakfast due to waking up late in the morning "What do you say, Gomamon? How about we get some food since we missed breakfast." "Sounds great! I'm so hungry right now." Gomamon said, smiling at the thought of getting food to full his little digi-tummy.

 

~~Central Park~~

​

With Kari, Mimi, Sora, TK, Matt, and now Joe all having arrived, Tai was about to go and order everyone food as Matt had suggested, until suddenly, Mikey showed up... with his own Digimon partner!
"Mikey, you're a Digidestined?!" Tai said in surprise.
This changed a lot. At first it seemed as though only the kids at camp had been made into Digidestined. But then they had met with Takato and his team, Henry and Rika, and their Digimon. Then Kari had turned out to be a Digidestined, and now even Mikey had appeared with his own Digimon.
"I see. This really helps me with my theory." Izzy said, typing something more into his computer. "You see, I've been looking at everything we've done in the past, and it all comes back to one thing. Before any of us became Digidestined, we saw a Digimon with our own eyes. Think back; for us it all linked back to Highton View Terrace, where we all first saw Greymon fight Parrotmon. Takato drew Guilmon based on seeing Agumon years ago, Henry saw Terriermon in his video game, and Rika was sought out by several Digimon because of her potential before meeting Renamon. Mikey meeting Shoutmon shortly after learning about our Digimon only solidifies my theory; to be a Digidestined, you first have to have seen a Digimon."
"Alright, but what does this all mean?" Tai asked, slightly confused. "It's great that we know and all, but where does that leave us?"
"Essentially, it means that anyone has the potential to be a Digidestined. The fact that we were chosen long ago is probably the only thing that makes us special, if we are at all. That and our Crests that allow us to reach the levels above Champion."
"So there could be even more Digidestined out there? Well that settles things then, we have to find out if there're any other of us out there nearby that we can work together with!" Tai said, stepping forward and declaring this like a true leader.
Suddenly Tai was interupted by a shining light enveloping Growlmon, who suddenly shrunk in size and mass until he regained Rookie size, which was still fairly large, a little large than Agumon, but slimmer.
"Hey, I'm me again!" Guilmon said happily, looking at Takato. "Takatomon, look, Guilmon again!"

​

Takato gave a small but happy laugh and embraced his partner with a smile in response, saying; "It's good to have you back, boy."
"Well how about that? He turned back into Guilmon already! Y'see, what did I tell you? There was nothing to worry about, Takato!" Tai said, grinning and patting the boy on the back. "Now how about we all go get that food at last?"
"Sure, but hold on a second." Takato said, before standing and turning to face a nearby tree, against which his friend, Rika Nonaka, was leaned against.
"Hey Rika!" he called to her, waving a little. "We're gonna get something to eat? You wanna come?"

 

Nintendo High Front Gates:

Spoiler

Shiki glanced back at Enerjak. The boy really had no idea what kind of work he'd gotten himself into. "Something like that. Do as I do and you won't get killed." Assessing the strength of the firearms carried by the, clearly alien, pair standing in front of the gates, Shiki decided to opt for the..."I belong here" approach. Patting Enerjak's shoulder, he motioned for him to stick close and confidently approached the pair. He didn't need excuses but if they wanted to pick a fight that was good with him. The dorms where his aim...not the school itself. His red eyes narrowed on the gates, they were unlocked...which meant students or teachers were inside.
Thane turned when someone dressed all in black approached. The confidence of his stride...the dark menace in his aura...the cold assessment in his red eyes. All of him screamed bad news and evil intent. His battle honed body reacted before his mind could finish questioning himself why this man would be here and with a boy at his side. "That's far enough, human," He stretched out one green hand to stop the man in black but he didn't even hesitate.
Walking past him, Shiki hardly spared him or the other one a side glance, "Outta my way." Pushing open the gates, Shiki glanced around for a moment, taking in the outer layout of the building.
Thane frowned and glowered at him, "I don't think so. State your business here, human. Your aura reminds me of an assassin...and the way you walk tells me you've come here for a target." Thane caught the cold glare from the man and the memory would forever haunt him. "If you are innocent and have pure intentions...tell us why you're here. The school is closed until Friday."
Shiki was only slightly surprised when the alien gauged him correctly based on his aura and his walk. But most people back in Toshima could do that too. Perhaps he hadn't heard him before. He didn't see any ears on the alien. "Don't stick your nose in where it doesn't belong. I told you to get out of my way. My purpose is for me to know only."Thane knew that attitude from somewhere...but allowing the memory to take over right now would be bad. Setting a hand on the submachine gun at his side, he looked over at the boy with him. Nothing about the boy screamed death, which only made him more confused. He opened his mouth to protest more when the man in black's fist struck out like lightning and struck him in the face. The blow alone was enough to land him on his back but he'd also kicked the back of his legs and again struck a hard blow to Thane's back. He moved like a black tornado with a gleaming red center. Before Thane could recover from the blows and pick himself up off the ground, Shiki had drawn his sword and held the tip of it to the other alien's chest to keep him at bay. "Don't make the same mistake as your friend. Get out of my way and I'll consider sparing your lives." An inner part of Shiki rebuked him for his consistently cold tone but it was only a small part and easily ignored.

Kuro side stepped the axe and slashed her sword across CFW Judge's armor. "Back off buddy...you don't want to fight two CPU's at the same time. You won't be able to handle it." Running up behind the two, Akihiko tightened his black gloved fists and smirked, "It's been a long time since I had a good fight. Bring it on!"In the alley, the man tilted his head at Kuro's words and quietly mouthed "CPU" before closing the orange holo-screen and pushed away from the wall. A small program ran on his device and the street lights surrounding Glitter flickered on with the abnormal intensity of a search light. Hopefully it would be enough to frighten the odd axe-wielding man away.

Minato Ward:

Spoiler

Nihlus nodded and rubbed his head as he followed Shepard off the table and back onto the ground. "Yes...no you're right. Yelling at them won't change anything. Shepard...I..." He gave her a pitiful look that said he was greatly confused at the moment and Mordin pushed his way through the dispersing crowd. "Ah, Shepard. Good. Afraid you won't make it in time. Glad to see was wrong." He scanned Nihlus with his omni-tool and examined the data, "Hm, interesting. No physical damage. Mental capacity working at normal. For Turian anyway. Confusion granted by long term sleep. Nearly same reconstruction as Lazardus project done on Shepard. Almost. Reconstruction focused mostly on internal organs. Specifically, heart. No cybernetic fingerprint. Most worrisome. Memory should return to normal within five to twelve days." Nihlus eyed the Salarian warily and gestured to him as he spoke to Shepard, "A friend of yours, Shepard?"
Shibuya Building 109:

Spoiler

Tekken dropped to the floor when Inferno Obitus released them. Her body trembled. "Th-That thing was in my head!" Fuuka was seen hurrying down the catwalk and down the stairs to reach them. She still wore her old school's uniform. "Fuuka-chan...are you alright?" Getting a nod from the teary eyed Tekken, Fuuka looked at the others, "Are any of you injured? I...I can do a little bit of healing but not enough to heal severe wounds." She lifted a silver gun to her temple and squeezed the trigger. The sphere that formed around her accompanied by the woman with her arms spread appeared again and a slight healing wave washed over the group. "There...that should do for any minor pain."

Spoiler

Ginza, Chuo-ku: High Five Bar:

Spotting the pure white hair and typical white haori of Jushiro Ukitake was easy once Kakashi got into the bar. Taking a seat next to him and ordered a simple beer. Jushiro still had dark circles under his eyes. "Not sleeping well?" "It's not easy being sick, teaching at a school AND handling the Soul Society. You said that's why you wanted to talk to me... You met "Captain Sui-Feng" last night, right?" "Yes...she and I were pursuing the same target. Why does the Soul Society want Albedo?" Jushiro sighed, "You got me there, Kakashi. Shunsui...our Head Captain...handles decisions like that. He's an old friend so the next time I speak to him...I'll be able to give you a real answer." "You can't give me one now?" Kakashi frowned at his drink and Jushiro turned to him. "I can give you this... Let the Soul Society handle it. Sui-Feng is more than capable of handling this. But if you're determined...I can give you what info we do have." Nodding, Kakashi swivled in his chair. "Albedo's cells multiply at a rate much faster than normal humans. About the same time as a Bount can heal it's wounds while inside the Seretei." Kakashi narrowed his gaze, none of it sounded good. "So far we haven't located a weakness on him to kill him..but he can he weakened through battle like any opponent." "And the reason he's kidnapping children?" "That we're not sure of yet. Nothing about his behavior gives us anything to go by on what he's thinking. His thoughts are erratic... I'm comfortable calling him insane...and I don't say that often." "You don't say that ever, Jushiro," Kakashi couldn't help but laugh. Smiling warmly, Jushiro nodded, "I think that says something there. About the rest of your call...those kids...Kakashi I...." Without having to say it, Kakashi knew what he would say. "He got them again... There must be something special about them..something he's looking for." Jushiro and Kakashi fell silent as they pondered.

 

-Hospital-

Thomas nodded, placing his brother on the stretcher and hoping that he was going to be alright. Kimberly stood outside, sitting on a bench as she waited, praying that Tommy will be okay and looked at the sky, thinking about all the times they spend together. She smiled, leaning back.



-Dream World-

When Tommy opened his eyes, he found himself at a beautiful courtyard. As he looked around, he tried to recall what happened, sitting on the water fountain. 'Last thing I remember, that S-Type went into our heads, then nothing......' He thought to himself, suddenly a voice spoke to him, "You collapsed and your brother was worried about you." He turned and saw a beautiful young woman in a silver dress, standing at the entrance of the courtyard. Tommy marveled in her beauty before remembering he had a girlfriend and was surprised to hear that his brother was worried about him. The woman asked, "Please, stay..... I would like to talk with you."

Spoiler

-Shibuya: 109 Building-

When everyone's transformations died down, Philip walked up and bowed at Sakura, "It's a honor to meet you, Sakura Hongo, Hinako Ichimonji, Seki Kazami." "It is our honor and pleasure to meet you all, the new generation of heroes who will protect Japan." Sakura said, smiling at Philip. Philip felt a familiar feeling around her and stood, Dante was surprised and shouted, "Whoa, hold up!!! You mean the ones who started the Riders are three hot and beautiful women?!" "What were you expecting? Big burly men?" Seki said, pissed at Dante which surprised him. Kengo came up and was surprised to see them as well.

Ahim stepped up and asked, "But how, you all look so young." "All will be explained, young Ahim." Sakura looked at Tsukasa and walked over to him. "Decade, it is a honor to meet you. Won't you agree?"



-Akiza and Sunset Shimmer's dorm-

Akiza looked up and saw her roommate, she nodded, "Yes, my name is Akiza Izinski. It's nice to meet you. Guess we're roommates. then." She looked down at her cards and put them away.

 

-Shibuya: 109 Building-

Their minds were ridden, Tsukasa was annoyed it got to him as well as the Gokaiger males, but it seemed there were looking for a Harbinger,w ahetever that was, he let his transformation die out along with the others, revealing their true identities tot he SHowa Riders until Dnate voiced his opinions and Sakura was talking to him as she said ti was honor to meet him, obviously playing they never met card, despite telling the others anyway.

"Whatever you say Kamen Rider Number One." he said plainly, his thoughts distracted until Gentaro smiled and waved to IF's fallen form.

"Yo, good job there girl!" he said cheerfully to IF, oblivious to what eh just did earlier.

-Yu-

Yu felt his mind being invaded, but Izanagi within him tried it's best to protect his mind, though failing, it was odd though, Izanagi should of stayed as his true form, but reverted back after the Final Battle, perhaps cause this Izanagi was his true power, the number zero, being one of infinite possibilities, especially with Skill Cards he collected through his year and it was quite strong, until a girl summoned a persona, but with a gun and he was surprised.

"A Persona? But she never appeared on any Midnight Channel..." he thought to himself, it did look like it was used for analysis since there was no weaponry on it, but who was this mysterious girl? He had this question being the forefront of his mind, he'd have to tell his lover and correspondent, Naoto Shirogane and see if she could dig up any information within the police force.

 

~Kabukicho District~​

​

CFW Judge was pushed back by the attacks only to unfortunate be backed under one of the intense lights blinding him, he yelled aloud "****ING ****! I can't see to kill you damn bitches!" as he stumbled about and had managed to grab his axe before making a hasty retreat, Neptune simply blinked as she said aloud in confusion "Okay? That battle was just plain odd" placing her hand on her hip as she looked at Kuro and Akihiko asking "Don't you two agree with that?"​

~Tokyo Streets: Mario Bros. vs. Wario Bros.~​

​

Spoiler: BGM

​

Luigi's eyes widened as he watched the Wario Bros. run towards them unsure on how to attack only for them to stop a distance away from the Mario Bros. as Wario shoved his hand into Waluigi's pocket pulling out a round black bomb with orange feet and white eyes causing the Mario Bros. to blink, Waluigi immediatly kicked the Bob-Omb causing it speed at the Mario Bros. who ducked together sending the bomb flying orver them and exploding harmlessly on the ground behind.​

​

Wario then raised his hands up and started to laugh with a twinkle in his eye as Luigi said "I think we're ripping off something here" shortly before Mario pointed forward and ordered "Just move forward! GO!" just as Wario shouted "IT'S ON!" as he ran forward at the Mario Bros...​

​

"Wahahahah!"​

"Uh-oh!"​

"WAAAAAAAAAAH!"​

"GRAAAAAAAAH!"​

​

...just before Mario and Wario slammed their heads together with the sound of a thunderous boom as the two pushed each other hard, Mario smirked as Wario proclaimed "I'mma gonna beat you so hard that neither of you will be able to eat" "And why is THAT! I like food" "You'd be dead idiot!" shortly before Wario pulled out another Bob-Omb and threw it at the Mario Bros. point blank causing it to explode and send them backwards seperating them as they fell onto the pavement dazed with Luigi sitting up holding his head while Mario was on his hands and knees.​

​

Wario and Waluigi rushed at the Mario Bros with Wario raising his fist in the air at Luigi as he yelled aloud "Don't worry, THIS WON"T HURT!" with Luigi screaming before Mario grabbed him and quickly started to run, Mario continued to run with Luigi following as Bob-Ombs were thrown at them in a frenzy as they entered an alleyway, Mario turned to face Luigi and said aloud "Okay, I have a plan..." just before about seven Bob-Ombs were thrown at them causing them to scream in panic.​

​

Spoiler: BGM 2:30 in

*BOOM!!*​

​

A large column of fire engulfed the alleyway streaking upwards before the fire vanished leaving just smoke rising, Wario and Waluigi started laughing as they turned around not noticing the Mario Bros. in the air as they recombined and went into a diving spinkick shortly before the Wario Bros. were hit hard in the head as they were sent flying being seperated in the process spinning about erraticly in the air before Waluigi landed on his stomach dazed as Wario stood up holding his head asking "What just happened?!" as the Mario Bros landed in front of Wario.​

​

Mario pointed to the sky as he pointed to the sky yelling aloud boldly "Hey, look at us! We're the greatest duo of brothers ever...far better than how you two act! Well just don't sit there like a duo of idiots, fight us!" just as Waluigi stood up and pulled out a giant Bob-Omb before throwing it at Mario Bros. causing a massive explosion.​

​

It had become dead quiet as the smoke rose up from the blast zone shortly before Wario started to laugh as he rose his fists up in victory..only to stop when he noticed red and green fire within the middle of the smoke before it vanished to reveal Mario with his arms in a blocking stance with Luigi's eyes closed, Luigi opens his eyes as the fire vanished asking "What just happened, how did we survive?" before Mario said aloud "I have no idea..." as the Wario Bros recombined and ran at them with an angry Wario at the helm.​

​

Spoiler: The BGM keeps changing

​

Luigi started to tense up as Wario and Mario's fists collided making a large thundering sound shortly before Luigi kicked the Wario Bros back and into the air yelling "Let's finish this Mario!" just as they jumped into the air and started to spin insanely fast forming a red and green drill, Mario then shouted aloud "Let's go!" just as the duo yelled simultainiously "FINISHING BROS!" while blasting off towards the Wario Bros. with Luigi's feet aimed right at them, Wario screamed as the attack connected and the Mario Bros. landed on the other side with Wario and Waluigi in mid-air, a few seconds later the Wario Bros. fell hilariously out of the sky and onto the ground defeated, Mario looked at the screen and said "You thought there was going to be an awesome explosion after that attack, sorry we couldn't do that or else this post would be shot down by Gainax" "Mario, FOURTH WALL!!!"​

Garrus stood there and watched the encounter between Thane, Shiki, and Al Mualim before he felt something shake and pulled out his phone answering it "Shepard, you're not going to believe this one" "What is it Garrus" "Well, Thane is a little held up with this guy who tried to walk past the gates and now the principal shows up angry and threatening to call the police" before hearing a visible sigh from Shepard as she said "Put me on speaker...". Garrus put Shepard on speaker before she said aloud in authority "Mr. Mualim, I am Commander Shepard and the turian and the drell are with me and thus are under a Blanket Immunity, this means you can't call the police on them, anyways Peppy Hare hired my group for a job down here at Nintendo High...however you may call the police on that other guy, he's not with me"​

~Shibuya 109 Building~​

​

Compa and Iffy slowly stood back up onto their feet having felt as though something had came in and ransacked their minds, Compa gently held Iffy up as she muttered to herself "What the hell was throwing me around supposed to do, now I'm already sick to my stomach" only for Compa to explain "Well it did beat the enemy, now c'mon lets get you back to our home and I'll fix you right up" as the two quietly started to leave the 109 Building together, however Iffy looked at the image she had taken on her phone and began to wonder just what that thing was.​

"I guess you're right, lets go get those drinks then" Peppy explained as he started to laugh while getting into the car.​

​

~Gadd Science~​

​

Gordon had walked out the front door of Gadd Science after waving at Shion and E. Gadd who were in the lobby, Shion turned to E. Gadd and asked "Hey, would it be alright if I take KOS-MOS with me?" causing the professor to tilt his head as he responded "I don't see why not, just be sure to hide the fact that she's our secret weapon" before Shion raised a finger and said aloud "I actually planned for that" as she walked towards a door that read "TOP SECRET" and went past the security systems without much of a problem as she approached KOS-MOS who was standing in front of the pod that housed her normally.​

​

"Shion, I am ready to return to stasis now" KOS-MOS said before Shion placed a bag nearby as she responded "Actually, I want you to come with me, you deserve to run around in Tokyo just as much as everyone else" before she approached KOS-MOS explaining "I just have to remove your armor...don't try to freak out on me" as she first removed the headgear from KOS-MOS' head only to shut her eyes expecting KOS-MOS to go insane, Shion slowly opened one eye to notice KOS-MOS standing there harmlessly blinking as she asked "You trust me?" "I trust you 100% Shion, you created me after all"​

​

"Yeah but you went crazy before" Shion explained as she continued to remove the armor off of KOS-MOS without being distasteful, after a few minutes KOS-MOS was standing in front of Shion in the nude, Shion handed her the bag as she asked "Could you go change into this?" shortly before she turned her head away in embaressment.​

​

*A few minutes later*​

​

Shion and KOS-MOS stepped out from the room with KOS-MOS wearing a red tanktop shirt, tan pants. and a black and white jacket, otherwise she looked like the average human woman...well except with light-blue hair and orange eyes, the two went out the door and and into the parking garage before getting into Shion's car and leaving.​

 

"Do as you do. Got it." Nope, don't got it. He followed him, keeping close when he patted him, until they were stopped by the guard. After some small talk, Il Re attacked the green lizard-like man. It was at this point that Enerjak started wondering what Il Re really wanted to do at this building, or 'school', as the lizard called it. "Well then, this isn't awkward to see at all." He commented, crossing his arms when he heard someone leave the building, then a shout. He looked up, and saw an old man.

"Oh good, old men with kung fu skills coming to kick our butts." He realized that a word in the man's shout was one he's never heard of before. He was about to ask what it was when he heard another voice and turned, only to see someone holding a phone and it looked like someone else was being put on by speaker. He heard a strange word that came out of the phone. "Uh, Il Re, what are 'police'? These guys keep threatening to call them on us, and I don't like it."

 

In Front of Nintendo High:

Shiki glanced at Al Mualim, "Go ahead. But you'd better hope your "police" are better than me." Thane shook his head and stood, rubbing his back, "You're good. I'd still like to know your business here at the school." Shiki reached over and grabbed Enerjak by the collar, "This kid wanted to see the dorms. I figured since it's a day off, I'd take him and we wouldn't cause any trouble." He shot a glare at Thane and quietly pushed Enerjak past Al Mualim. Sheathing his sword, Shiki nudged Enerjak towards the dorms, leaning down to whisper into his ear, "Keep moving, Dog. Causing a commotion isn't the best plan... Tsk...I could've had them dead in a matter of seconds if that geezer hadn't interfered." By now, Shiki had pushed Enerjak all the way to the girls' dorm and was simply muttering aloud. Looking up, Shiki's red eyes caught on a pair of crimson eyes staring at them from a window on the third floor. "Stay here, Dog. Guard the entrance. I won't be long. On second thought...be ready to bolt. We won't be taking the front gate again. There's a wall over there we can jump that leads to the street." Ruffling Enerjak's hair, Shiki entered the dorm. As expected the dorm was frighteningly peaceful. Vases full of flowers decorated every bare tabletop and side table. The use of more feminine colors made Shiki's eyes hurt from the strain of trying to look around. Rubbing his eyes, Shiki headed up the stairs. His boots scuffed against red carpeting. The feeling was strange since he'd spent his entire life in a city with no luxuries like carpet. Shaking his head before memories of Toshima and its inhabitants could resurface. By the time he'd reached the third floor, Shiki was itching to get out of the dorm. By a stroke of luck, the girl he'd seen outside was struggling to lift a heavy box into a room.
"Hup...sie...daisy... C'mon...ugh..." She looked like she was having trouble. Shiki folded his arms and leaned against the wall beside her, "Having trouble, kitten?" She looked up and actually smiled at him. "Oh, hello...you're the guy from outside. Sorry if I was staring. You reminded me of someone..." she cast her gaze downwards and a sad expression crossed her face, "Someone who I really wanted to meet." If Shiki had a heart, he'd have felt bad for making her look so sad...but he didn't. Lifting the box for her, Shiki dropped it on her bed. Her smile returned, "Thanks." Turning, Shiki frowned at her, scanning over her face and body. "Brown hair...crimson eyes...physically fit...school uniform. You fit the profile. Is your name Arisato?" She blinked and nodded slowly, "Um...yes. My name is Minako Arisato. Why...do you ask?" Shiki grabbed her arm and twisted it behind her back, "You don't look like a dangerous warrior. You look like a little girl that I could just eat." His breath brushed against Minako's neck, making her shiver, "Who...are you?" Ignoring her, Shiki braced one hand against the window and pushed. The increasing pressure on the glass created spider cracks spreading out from his palm. Twisting Minako's other arm behind her back, Shiki pulled a zip-wire from his back pocket and slipped it onto her wrists. "Just be still, little lady and I won't have to hurt you." An irritated expression crossed her face as he tossed her over his shoulder and broke through the window. Falling with the shards of glass, Shiki landed next to Enerjak with Minako over his shoulder. Giving Enerjak a 'what're you looking at' look, Shiki nudged him with his foot, "Let's go Dog, we have a delivery to make."

Shibuya Building 109:

Fuuka sighed and her Persona returned. Standing, Tekken brushed off her already torn pants, "Are you alright, Fuuka-chan? Why didn't that guy get you too?" Shrugging, Fuuka glanced up to where she'd been standing during the battle. "I don't think he saw me. Despite that serious power I felt from him...he didn't look all that bright. But...I'm more concerned about..." She hesitated and glanced around, "Never mind, Tekken-chan. I'll figure it out later. I should go, Tekken-chan. I'll need to report what I found to Mitsuru-senpai. Oh...I'll give you my email and you can message me whenever you need my help again. I'll need some time to re-analyze the data I got today as well as run it by Mitsuru-senpai but..." Tekken hugged her tightly, "Thank you, Fuuka-chan. I...I don't have a cell phone yet but you can give it to IF-san and Compa-chan." "Alright." Pulling out a white cell phone, Fuuka stood in front of IF and Compa.

Kabukicho District:

Kuro sighed, "That was a nightmare..."
The man in the alley shook his head, the holo-screen returned but instead of a blur of codes, it showed a single repeating code. "The nightmare's only beginnging." Around Kuro, Akihiko and Neptune, the location distorted in their view and dizziness washed over the girls. Kuro, Akihiko and Neptune's vision went black and in a few seconds all they saw were the blue electrical currents of a system program. When their vision focused again, the three found themselves standing in a large space filled with odd rabbit structures. A digital floor and walls surrounded them. Kuro shook her head, "The hell?! Where are we? Weren't we just standing in front of Glitter? I don't see it at all." Akihiko rubbed his head as it throbbed slightly. "I don't...feel so great." Glancing over at him, Kuro's blue eyes widened, "A-Akihiko...?! What the hell is that thing?" Following her pointed finger, Akihiko's gray gaze landed on a large white figure standing a ways beside him holding a sword and the world. "Oh...um...Cesar?" The figure bowed slightly to Akihiko when he called its name. Kuro's hands shook, "What is that?! Where are we?" Akihiko flinched at her growing shrill voice.
"This is Rhyme. Now...tatakai." Before them stood a man wearing a white lab coat and a large green bunny head. "Tatakai...fight." Kuro panicked, "Who is this freak? Ah...N-Neptune...can you transform back? I can't transform back."

Minato Ward:

Nihlus shook Mordin's hand and hesitantly listened to Shepard's phone call. "If your friend is in trouble, we should hurry over there. I will...try to be of assistance." Mordin pulled up his omni-tool and proceeded to scan the voices heard through the call. The voice declaring to call the police came up as Al Mualim, principal of Nintendo High. Other than Garrus and Thane's voice, he found two others that didn't come up as quickly. The lower pitched voice came up with a series of black markings and third degree lock-out warnings and only a first name came up. "Hm, two foreign voices within call. First: only on first name basis. Shiki. Rest of file is blacked out. Confidential or simply doesn't exist. Second voice. Doesn't exist in database. Given time, will unblock data on first. Proceed, Shepard."

CPU's House:

Belle stood and set her napkin on her plate. "Well I have to get going. I'm supposed to meet with someone before the memorial." Belle waved good-bye to her sisters and headed out the door. She was immediately greeted by a waiting Sasori and a pair of men she didn't recognize in a car. "Professor...I'm glad to see you." Sasori exhaled, "This is Watanuki and Doumeki...Yuuko sent them with me for your little mission. This is such a waste of my time." Belle smiled warmly at them and climbed into the car. "So...where are we going?" The man Sasori had introduced as Watanuki turned to her. Belle stared, entranced by his two different colored eyes. "You don't know? Hm...I suppose Yuuko-san didn't tell you much about your quest. Mugetsu is going to find our little friend that has the object we're looking for." Belle watched as a little yellow furry snake-like creature slithered out of Watanuki's sleeve and wrapped around Belle's neck and kissed her cheek. "Oh my... Well you're a friendly little guy, aren't you?" Smiling, Watanuki lifted a hand and rubbed two fingers along the little furry snake's body, "This is Mugetsu. He's a Pipefox. He's the one who's going to help us find what we're looking for, like I said before." Belle turned to the other man who'd sat silently beside Watanuki, "You must be Doumeki then." Watanuki's face scrunched up a bit, "Yeah...this is Shizuka Doumeki...he's...a friend...I guess. He helps me out with peculiar requests." Belle nodded and waved when Doumeki turned to her and waved slightly. "So you two...help Miss Ichihara out at the shop?" "I run it with Yuuko-san, actually. I can grant you any wish you desire." "Any...wish, huh?" Her gaze fell to her lap and Watanuki caught Sasori's hazel eyes looking at him through the rear view mirror. "Hey...we're here." Watanuki's gold and blue eyes looked out the window at the library before finding Mugetsu pressing his little face against the window. "Seems so... Let's go, Belle...Doumeki."

 

As he was pushed in to the 'school', he stole a quick glance back at Thane, feeling a bit sorry for the lizard guy. He turned back, and listened to Il Re's whispered tip, then responded, "Yeah, I got it..." Thoughts were racing through his mind, ones that he wouldn't reveal to anybody.

He stopped at the entrance, and nodded to Il Re to show that he understood his job. He turned, and casually sat down, looking around. "He told me to get ready to make a quick run...Well, **** that ****." He muttered, thinking about why he would ruffle his hair. Sure, he was 'Dog' but did he really have to be treated like one? He probably won't after--
He heard glass being broken, and stood up immediately. That was from the building. Turning around, he Il Re holding a girl, then gave him a grin, which was probably why he gave Enerjak that comedic look. He quickly jumped up to his feet, nodding. "Right, got it. But...What exactly are we delivering? And to who?" Better make my move soon. He reminded himself. He didn't have his bracelet, but he was pretty sure he wouldn't need it. After all, how many monsters has he killed without using it? A lot. Then again, the bracelet would be useful for a quick escape...If only he didn't lose it, which made him wonder.

"Oh by the way, Il Re, have you seen a bracelet around? Like...One with a yellow gem in it." He probably had no idea of such a thing. Who would? It's only been a day, the bracelet could be any where on this gigantic planet.

 

-Command Center-

Navi woke up, hitting her head on a pillar and shaking her head. Coming to her senses, Navi went to her spot and asked, "What happened? You're worried about what Tsukasa said? He was probably being his usual mysterious self." But she admitted herself that it was strange that those who came before the current Riders appeared now.



-Hospital-

Thomas thought about what to say, he couldn't exactly say that they were Rangers who had their minds invaded by a S-Type. Taking a breath, Thomas said, "Something like that. We were training in our family dojo and I hit him too hard that his head was knocked against the wall. He was fine for a few minutes than suddenly collapsed. I guess I went too little rough on him." He sighed, thinking about that wouldn't be far from the truth if they weren't Rangers.



-Dream World-

The strange woman, who had called herself Serenity, sat beside Tommy and they talked about many different things. Serenity first explained that time flowed differently in the dream world, that what felt hours was really only minutes in the real world. Then she asked what it was that Tommy did that caused to him collapsed, Tommy explained to her that during a fight against a S-Type, he protected his brother from a attack and was injured, then after their minds were invaded, he must have collapsed. Serenity listened to him patiently and smiled. In the real world, Tommy's hand gave a little twitch.

Sakura chuckled a little at Tsukasa's reply and said, "How 'bout my friends and I take you all to a restaurant and get some food? Consider it our treat and we will explain everything." 'And I personally get to know those two boys that AkaRed often spoke of before he disappeared.' Sakura thought, looking at Marvelous and Basco. Dante smiled, "Aww, yes! Being treated to a meal by three beautiful women! I might catch hell from Vergil later, but I don't care!" "It would be our pleasure, Miss Sakura." Eiji said, U-Ryotaro said, "I'm sure you know of a wonderful place where we can dine, my beautiful Rider sempai~" Sakura nodded, thinking back to when she last saw AkaRed.

-Flashback-

"Tsuyoshi, do you really have to go?" Sakura asked, looking worried as she faced her long-time friend who was transformed in his Sentai suit. Nodding, he turned to her and said, "Yes, there is something I need to do. But no worries, I have ensured that Marvelous and Basco have enough to last through until they graduate high school." "But what is so important that you have to go now?" Sakura asked, Tsuyoshi said, "That is a personal matter to me, but I'm hoping that if they need any help, than Kamen Rider Ichigo will be there to help them. Promise?" "Yes, I promise to be there to help, AkaRed." Sakura said, touching his hand as he gently touched her cheek and watched him as he left.



-Akiza and Sunset Shimmer's Dorm-

"Alright, then. That will be one thing we will have to agree on." Akiza said, holding her dueling deck and went to sort through her cards, deciding to do something to keep from bothering Sunset Shimmer. She just hoped that she won't find about her special power and use that against her.

Neptune looked around the new battlefield that she was in before staring on at the new opponent was basicly telling them to fight, her blue eyes blinking as she said aloud "Tatakai...fight!" and sped in towards the new opponent before clashing in with her katana and said "Seems like this battlefield has locked us into HDD...and the only way out is to beat this guy!"​

"Unfortunately I don't know who done it, I was Sora's house when I got the call, but I do have the oddest feeling that it wasn't an accident and there is something at work in the background" Kairi explained as she crossed her arms thinking to herself, she stood up and said boldly "I'm going to go and figure this out myself" before she waved good-bye and stormed out of the room.​

Shepard sighed before she spoke up through the phone explaining "Alright, we'll get the girl back for you, but I won't be able to do it in one day...c'mon Garrus, Thane, get out of there and meet with me back at my place" shortly before Shepard hung up the phone and Garrus started to walk away from the front gates.​

Shepard sighed as she hung up her phone thinking "Well, I didn't expect this to happen like that" before looking at Mordin and Nihlus as she said calmly "Seems like Garrus and Thane will be alright, but we have some work to do" while slowly walking away from the dimishing crowd of people.​

After being blinded by the outside lights at Glitter, CFW Judge stumbled and flew about blindly until he managed to stumble into a building where he heard a familiar voice ask aloud "Oh hey it's Judge! Did you bring me back any of those sweet little maidens?" with CFW Judge yelling in fury "DAMMIT TRICK! I didn't do anything to satisfy your wierd ****ed-up fantasies!" as he was still stumbling about cursing up a storm and swung his axe in the direction of whom he thought was CFW Trick only for a second voice to speak up loudly "So, you want to try and fight my will blind huh, WELL TAKE THIS!"​

Compa and Iffy were suddenly stopped by Fuuka-chan, Iffy lifted her head looking rather green and seasick as she kindly asked "Can you please get out of the way before I..." before feeling something come up through her throat, Iffy pushed herself away from Compa and made a beeline to the bathroom while Compa looked at Fuuka and explained "Don't mind her, she's just sick, did you need something from us?" while rubbing the back of her head in embaressment.​

 

-Shibuya: 109 Building-

Tsukasa gave a mere shrug. "Do what you want." he said, taking the moment to fiddle with his camera around his neck as Gentaro smiled. "Yosha, let's eat until our stomachs are full!" he said happily as Shotaro looked at his fellow Riders, did those three know his boss? Sokichi Narumi? He had to wonder as Haruto chuckled at Gentaro's boundless energy. "So long as there's donuts, I'll partake." He inputted.

Marvelous gave a smirk. "Be prepared to have a low budget." he said as Joe crossed his arms as Gai nodded with the same energy Gentaro had.

Elsewhere, Yu was heading for the an exit, or perhaps, more the point, approach Fuuka Yamagishi, he had to simply know about her, with his boundless Courage being Heroic, he was able to approach without much worry, but he decided to let the other girl wait for her answer, so he waited patiently.

~Airport~

Another flight had come in and from the arrivals queue of people, a Red Hatted individual was easily spotted among those with his hat shading his eyes a she carried a simple camper's backpack with a Gold Duel Disk peeking out from it, he was a travelling Duelist named Kazu Tokura, he wasn't bothered by the masses of people, apparently, his family sent him here to take part in Nintendo High, despite it not being a central hub for Card Games, but he never really complained much.

A blue youth was also exiting the departures and stretched with a blue suitcase on wheels. "Ah finally, that holiday was great!" he said with a sigh of relief, this was Aoi, the first ever male CPU as a experiment, he did have a sister who was working here and well, literally landed her with the work while he snuck off for a holiday, no doubt, she'd give him a right good talking too, that and they weren't known by other CPU's either for that matter.

"Right, off home we go, unless by some miracle, everything fell apart with her at the helm." he muttered and headed for home.

 

Kabukicho District: Drive-By Rhyme:

Spoiler

The Bunny-Head man reflexively put up a typical boxer's guard and his digitally deformed voice spoke, "Defense!" Several white rabbits wearing boxing gloves hopped up and formed a wall between Netpune's blade and their master. Hopping out from behind the wall, another white rabbit wearing a green and blue hat and a matching vest with a headset and a whistle, pointed at Neptune, "Kyu losses! Defense at 75 percent!" Kuro stared at the little rabbits. This guy didn't do any of the fighting himself...was it all the rabbits? "Neptune! Watch out!" Pushing Neptune's blade back, the rabbits lined up. "It's an honor to fight you. Loss." "Loss, SET!" The ringleader blew the whistle around its neck and the other rabbits flew at Neptune, little boxing gloves out. Each one slowly started to glow pure white. "Ah...get out of the way! Cesar!" Akihiko and Cesar, the white figure that followed his every move, moved in front of Neptune and took each of the rabbits strikes, enduring as they exploded on contact. "Ngh...!" Pain overloaded Akihiko's senses and he fell to one knee, still maintaining his defense. "Enemy defense at 30 percent! Warning! Warning! Counterattack incoming!" "Nani...?! Boei!" Again the rabbits piled up into a wall as Akihiko stretched out a hand towards them, "Ziodyne!" Cesar lifted the spinning world in its left hand to the sky and a thick bolt of lightning struck down, demolishing a large portion of the Bunny-Head man's defensive wall. "K-Kyu jyu losses! Defense at 12 percent!" "Ngh...!" "Emergency! Emergency! Enemy defense restoring! Ni jyu...go jyu...Hachi jyu! Defense holding at 90!" Akihiko's Cesar held out a hand to Akihiko to help him up as a glow settled on Akihiko. Wiping his mouth, Akihiko stood, "Thanks for the help. Kuro...your turn." "R-right! Um...one question. Why is half of what he says in Japanese?" Akihiko stared at her, "We live in Japan, don't we? We are still in Japan, aren't we? I could've sworn I'd only changed schools...not countries." Rolling digital blue eyes, Kuro lifted her sword, "I didn't ask for sarcasm, Mr. Sanada." Flying out of Akihiko's cover, Kuro cut through boxing rabbits until she held her sword at the Bunny-Head man's throat, "What is this?! Who are you!?" Instead of answers, Kuro got a face full of boxing glove. "Desolation, SET!" The line of rabbits shot out at Kuro, knocking her over.

Shibuya Building 109:

Fuuka fumbled into her pocket of her skirt and pulled out her cell phone, "Um...I just wanted to ask for your contact information. I have Tekken-chan's...and..." she inhaled, "If you ever need my help, I'd like you to be able to call me or send me a message."

Tokyo Streets:

Spoiler

Shiki glanced back at Enerjak as he leaped over the wall and made sure the gag he'd placed over the girl's mouth was holding. She didn't look frightened when he adjusted the strip of cloth. Her crimson eyes were defiant as she stared at him. "Not scared? Maybe you're more of the person I've been looking for." Tossing her over his shoulder again, he quietly listened to Enerjak, "Bracelet? What're you a girl, Dog? This bracelet had better be something special." He avoided the questions asked before. Something about how calm Enerjak was about the whole kidnapping thing bothered Shiki. Running down the street, Shiki slipped into an abandoned building. Avoiding the police tape, he walked down the dark hallway and rounded a corner, taking the run down stairs to a basement hall dripping water onto the floor. "This place gets uglier the more I come here." Reaching another set of stairs that kept going into the darkness, Shiki sighed and swung himself and the girl over the railing to drop straight down. Falling, Shiki felt the girl struggle and thought, 'How long is this drop? I could've sworn it was shorter before.' Finally, his feet hit the floor...or rather a pile of junk. Pieces of plaster and metal and framework had piled up to form a small hill of random things as a landing pad. Walking towards the only source of light he could see, Shiki pushed open the cracked door and found the white haired Albedo hovering over a trio of children tied together. Suppressing a groan, Shiki knocked the girls' shoes against the door as a knock and he turned. "AH...the little King has come to bring me a gift. I'm honored." Sighing, Shiki dropped the girl beside the children Albedo had already gathered. "What's with the children? Are you really that hung up on your brother that you'd kidnap children?" Albedo spread his arms and spun in place, grinning, "Of course not! And they're not just ordinary children, my little King. As such..." he picked up the girl Shiki had brought him. "This one...is called Minako Arisato. Her power is INCREDIBLE! Would you like to see it? How about a demonstration, my dear?" Albedo pulled off the gag and undid the zip tie around her wrists. Minako glared at him silently.

Library:

Spoiler

Belle, Sasori, Watanuki and Doumeki entered the library to find it rather empty on the day off. The Pipefox wrapped around Belle's neck tugged forwards and Belle walked up a set of stairs to an upper level where the Goddess found a young blue haired woman reading a wall of text from a newspaper on a computer. "Hello. Are you here by yourself?" She looked away from the computer, blue eyes blinking away purple spots from staring at the glowing monitor. "Um...yes? Can I help you, miss?" Belle smiled and waved to the boys downstairs, "Sasori-kun...Watanuki-kun, Doumeki-san!" Sasori grumbled as he stuffed his hands into his pockets and headed up the stairs, "Since when did I become 'Sasori-kun'? I'm still a professor at Nintendo High..." Watanuki's multicolored eyes warmed as he listened to Sasori mutter to himself. Belle and the Pipefox had cozied up next to the blue haired woman who looked rather uncomfortable with Belle hovering over her shoulder and the Pipefox rubbing its head against her cheek. "Who's your little friend?" Watanuki drew her attention to him with a wave of his hands, "Our little friend...and yours are quite similar. Wouldn't you say?" She glanced at the computer and from behind the monitor, a white furred head poked out, staring large blue eyes up at Watanuki. Doumeki pointed at the furry head and Sasori rubbed his eyes, "Found it." Belle felt the Pipefox slither down her arm and touched noses to the white and blue fox sitting calmly beside the computer monitor. "O-chan...do you know them?" Watanuki smiled, "O-chan, huh? Did you name her?" She shook her head, "No. I asked and she told me." Belle pulled a few chairs over from a table and sat in front of the blue haired woman, "Can we ask you some questions, young lady?" The woman reached over and picked up O-chan, placing her in her lap, "Call me Naoto. Do these questions have something to do with something important?" Sasori sat beside Belle, "Actually it does. O-chan knows where we can find someone we're looking for. That person has--" "Actually...I have the object in question, nii." Sasori's hazel eyes flicked to the little girl sitting in Naoto's lap and blinked several times. Instead of the fox, a white haired girl wearing traditional blue shrine clothes and shoes. "Ohhh...an Osaki Fox blessed with freedom from your master." O-chan smiled, baring fox fangs and held out an ancient looking ring, "Hmm...she gave me this to give to Yuuko-san as payment for her wish. Though..." She looked sad and her white fox ears drooped, "I wish she hadn't needed to make that wish. I'm glad she could return...and I'm happy she's happy with the one she chose...but...without the Tamayori Princess, I don't have a place to go." Naoto hugged the little fox-girl and O-chan sniffled, "You have a place with me, O-chan. I'm sure Grandpa doesn't mind if I have a friend live with me." O-chan nodded, wiping tears away from her blue eyes. Doumeki's eyes followed O-chan's waving blue and white twin tails as Watanuki accepted the ring from her. "That was surprisingly easier than I figured. Thank you, Belle-san. If you hadn't come with us, I'm sure things would've been harder." Belle gave him a wide-eyed look, "Eh? My job's over? That was quick. I didn't even do anything." He smiled, "But you did. You are pure of heart. Because of that, Mugetsu didn't require the sake I usually have to give him in order to find another kitsune. It would've been a lot of trouble if I'd had to locate a new source for it. Nobody in Tokyo makes it correctly. Ah...but I'm rambling. You were a lot of help, Belle-san. You...might be tired tomorrow...but that's normal." Naoto shook her head and laughed. Sobering, Naoto frowned, "If you didn't know O-chan had the object you wanted...who were you going to find?" Sasori shifted uncomfortably, "Yuuichi Komura. O-chan should know him. He's a friend of your...Tamayori Princess." O-chan nodded, "Yuuichi-san will be at the memorial. You can still meet him. Naoto...I'd like to see him again." Naoto nodded once and the little girl transformed back into a fox...clothes and all.

 

"Oh yeah, very special. Extremely special." He said, although he noticed his defiance in refusing to answer his other questions. Alright, drag it out, I'll figure it out later... He followed him through the streets in to the abandoned building, and down the stairs. "This is getting tedious." That's when he jumped over the railing with the girl, which left him alone and confused. Quite confused.
"Uh...What..." He glanced over the railing, and decided, "Well, if you're so sure...GERONIMOOO!" He yelled, jumping over and flipping around as he fell down. "This is surprisingly fu--Aw crap." He saw the pile, and quickly angled himself so he wouldn't do a face plant in to metal. Landing safely, he grunted. "Ow, that hurt my behind..." Shaking his head, he saw a door, but no Il Re. He heard his voice and another person's, so he walked through, and found him talking with another person who was holding the girl, talking about some strange power.

"Well then, Il Re, am I late to the party?" He asked casually, looking around. There's gotta be something here I can use... He thought to himself. A distraction...C'mon, this place can't be all empty...Gotta buy time. Still looking, he asked, "So, care to introduce me to Mr. Jesus over there?" He asked. "And what kind of place is this?" Let's see what I can use...I still got the Return scrolls, but I can't risk it. Not in this world where I don't even know what will happen if I use them. So what else do I have...Battle form, but again, no bracelet...Wait a minute, I still have--Yeah, that'll work! It shouldn't permanently blind anyone...

"You know Il Re, if you're kidnapping me too, that's a bad idea. Doubt it, though. You said yourself I'm the 'person you're looking for'. I really don't like your lack of elaboration on these kinds of things."

Neptune quickly rushed in and slashed apart the line of rabbits that had knocked Kuro over onto the ground, taking her hand Neptune pulled Kuro back onto her feet before looking at the bunny man and said to Kuro "This seems like a game, however look closely" before her digital blue eyes turned towards the bunny man and added "He's only sending the rabbits towards us, he himself hasn't thrown an attack"​

Hearing Doctor Hu ask him if he wanted to go by his brother's side, Thomas thought for a moment, wondering how his brother would react and chose to not to think too much on it. With a sigh, he looked at the doctor and said, "Sure, I want to go by my brother's side to see if it helps him wakes up." "May I join you?" Kimberly asked, walking up to them. "My name is Kimberly. I'm Tommy's girlfriend. So, is it alright if I joined?" Thomas sighed, figuring that she would ask to join.

"Tell me, are there others with white as their main color?" Serenity asked, looking at Tommy with a curious face. Tommy thought for a moment about the question he had been asked. Gentaro's base form as Fourze was white and Gai was GokaiSilver, but he did wear clothes with white along with his base gray, and he tried to think about how they might react to meeting Serenity. He smiled and shook his head, he said, "Yes, there are two others with white as their colors. But it might be to wait until they're asleep to meet them." Serenity nodded.

Draco turned on the TV in his and his roommate's dorm, changing the channel to the coverage of the memorial while still pondering who his new roommate is.

Departing from a plane that came from Germany, there was a woman with long flaming red hair tied in a ponytail carrying a red shoulder bag. She looked around for the employer who sent her a job offer and found a young boy waiting for her. "Are you my employer?" She asked, surprised, the boy smiled, "Were you expecting someone older?" "I mean..... I'm sorry. I'm honored to meet you. I'm Karin Koenig." Karin said, bowing at him. Larsa smiled and said, "It's alright. It's a pleasure to meet you. I'm Larsa Ferrnias Solidor. Yes I'm young but wise for my age. Come, I want you to meet some friends of mine." Karin followed her young employer to his limo.

Kuro studied the relaxed manner the masked man stood in, "Yeah...and he's rather relaxed. This game...has to be originally for avatars to fight for their masters. He's rather arrogant for someone who's defense is going to be pulverized!" Kuro launched herself at the rabbits and sliced them apart as she swung her sword towards the man himself. A flash of white blinded Kuro, Neptune and Akihiko. When it cleared, they were standing back on the street in front of Glitter. Kuro and Neptune were back in their normal forms and Akihiko's Persona was gone. "We're...back in the real world. What happened?" Shrugging Kuro heard a ringing noise. "What is that noise? Is that a phone?" Pulling a cell from his pocket, Akihiko waved it in front of her face, "My phone. ...Mitsuru, again?" Answering the call, Akihiko hardly got out the world hello before a panicked expression settled on his face. "Tell me where! Location, Mitsuru, and make it quick!" He waved to Kuro and Neptune, "Okay...I'm on it! I have to go, you two. Try to stay out of trouble. Go home..." Akihiko bolted down the street, leaving Kuro and Neptune alone. "Weird...he looked freaked. I wonder what could rattle a guy as strong as him?" Rubbing her head, Kuro noticed a few bruises had formed on her legs and arms from where she'd taken hits in the game. "Even more weird. I'm covered in bruises!"

Ginza, Chuo-ko: High Five Bar:

Enjoying his beer, Kakashi was reluctant to answer his persistently ringing phone. Jushiro paused as he moved to refill his glass of sake, "Aren't you going to get that?" Releasing a drawn out sigh, Kakashi flicked it open and stared at the name on the screen. Mitsuru Kirijo...head of a multi-million dollar company that was known around the world for many things such as health-care, hospitals, schools, and other lesser known companies. Even though she was still a high school student. She was really turning into a pain to deal with. "I should...I asked her to look into Albedo's known records for anything that would give away his position or thoughts..." Jushiro watched the phone ring and Kakashi's expression. Plucking the phone out of his hand, Jushiro answered it for him, "Hello...Kakashi Hatake's phone, Jushiro Ukitake speaking. Uh-huh... Really? Isn't that good news? Oh... We're on our way now. Thank you, Miss Kirijo." Kakashi watched Jushiro stand and slap a few thousand yen down on the counter, "Come on, Kakashi. We've got a location on Albedo. He's taken another...this time a student of the school." Hopping up, Kakashi followed him out of the bar. "I would like my phone back....and to know where we're going." "There's an abandoned building with an underground basement not far from Nintendo High's street where he's been hiding out." Kakashi shook his head, "So close and we didn't even know it."

Toshima District:

"Will you three shut up!? I will not have bickering like children anymore! So the CPU's are in Japan...we'll just find them and eliminate them one by one. No mistakes this time." CFW Magic glared at Trick as she spoke. "Our Goddess will be pleased if we bring her the CPUs' heads on a silver platter." She turned her gaze back on the black haired man standing in front of her with an arrogant smirk on his face. "Now stop smiling, you smug jerk. So you were right...that doesn't make any of what you say true." He shrugged and examined his fingernails, "If that's the way you think then...I can't help you. My information is only as good as the truth gets. By-the-way...my payment?" Magic hesitated for a moment before handing over the sum he said was his payment for the information she'd asked for. "Now forget this place ever existed or I'll cut you into ribbons." Waving off her threat, the man happily flipped through the bills and stuffed them into his pocket. "I'm actually a little regretful that I might not see you again..." Magic hissed and the man skipped down the street happily.

Izaya Orihara chuckled to himself as he skipped down the street back towards the residential district. All the information in the world and still something was missing. His phone jingled as he received a text. Reading through it, Izaya's smile widened. Something interesting was happening and he was going to make it better. "This is why I love humans! Always moving...always changing. I'm so excited!" What made it better was he'd made a few new "friends" that he could move as he wished. His fingers moved across the keypad, hitting send at the end of his message. The day was just beginning and it was going to be dramatic.


Nintendo High: Girl's Dorm:


A blue haired boy stood in the entrance to a girls room. Boxes of her things were scattered around the room as if she had barely had any time to move in. The window was shattered behind him with the glass shards on the ground outside. Everything about the scene told him this girl had been kidnapped. Anger and fear raced through his heart, chasing one another around in circles until his head spun and his stomach did back flips. His phone resting in his hand chimed. Shaky hands lifted the phone to his face to read the message but the words on the screen only made his hands shake harder. Dropping his phone, the boy turned and raced out of the dorm. The message on the screen read:


"Your sister was taken. Go two streets south of the dorms and into the only building marked by police tape. Just follow the chalk markings." -- Izaya Orihara.

Abandoned Building:

Shiki turned to look at Enerjak and tilted his head in question, "What's the matter with you, kid? Not getting skittish on me are you?" Despite his half-joking tone, Shiki's brow furrowed. "You really shouldn't let a child question you, little King." Albedo tested Shiki's patience. Glancing at him out of the corner of his eye, he turned back to Enerjak, "If I were kidnapping you, you'd know it." Stepping close to Enerjak, Shiki knelt and slyly pressed a short dagger into his hand. He gave Enerjak a look that clearly said, 'I'm not the bad guy here'. Standing, Shiki mumbled lowly, "Follow my lead." Turning, Shiki made sure to keep Enerjak behind him as he faced Albedo, "You've never told me what you want these kids for. Something on your mind? Or are you really that obsessed with your brothers?" Albedo set his hands on his hips and tilted his head, "It's none of your business! Rubedo will come back...he always does. Poor little Rubedo...he feels so bad about what he did to me...and he SHOULD!" Shiki set a hand on the hilt of his katana, "Sure...keep telling yourself that...and the kids?" Albedo grabbed the girl by her arm and hauled her to her feet, "I told you...she's special. The others are special too. Those three," he pointed to a black haired boy, a girl wearing a pink bunny suit, and another boy tied together, "Are just like my family...cept for the girl...but she's special so I'll make an exception. I'm going to re-create the incident with U-DO that Rubedo chose to tear himself away from me...to allow me to see the TRUTH!" A sinking feeling settled in Shiki's stomach when a banging sound came from outside. His attention, Albedo's attention...even the children's attention turned to the door as it exploded inward. Drawing his katana, Shiki sliced through it to protect Enerjak. Standing in the doorway was a blue haired boy wearing a school uniform similar to the girl he'd recently kidnapped. A classmate? But there was something familiar about him... The angle of his jaw...the defiance in his blue eyes....the gun held to his temple. His blue eyes landed on the girl and she nearly screamed his name, "Minato!" He shut his eyes and squeezed the trigger... "Alice!" Swirling blue energy formed in the space before him and from that energy appeared a little blonde girl wearing a blue dress with white tights and black shoes. She curtsied to them, spun in place and pointed at them with one finger before a bolt of lightning struck Albedo, knocking the girl from his grip. Shiki, baffled by the sudden appearance of the little girl, nearly missed Albedo's amazing regenerative ability. Where a singed mark that should've pierced through Albedo's shoulder there was nothing. "Ooooh...that tingles! What else have you got?" Minato flinched, "Zionga!" Another bolt of lightning struck Albedo. Behind Minato, Kakashi and Jushiro dropped down into the hole and grabbed his shoulders, "Enough! He can't be killed like that." The girl crawled over pieces of metal and plaster towards Minato. Jushiro frowned at Shiki and Enerjak, "Accomplices? Don't go anywhere you two..." Jushiro drew his Zanpakuto, pointing the tip at Albedo, "Come quietly...I don't want to have to severely hurt you. I know any wounds we inflict won't last...but we have all day, Albedo. I have no where else to be." 'Cept for a memorial...' Albedo laughed for a long time before raking a harsh gaze on Shiki, "Kill them, or I'll kill the kids." Shiki's face gave nothing away. "You want me...to kill a bunch of random people? For no reason." Albedo nodded and rubbed his chin thoughtfully, "When you say it that way, it sounds a little critical. But yes...that's what I've asked you to do." Shiki stabbed his sword into the ground and adjusted his gloves, "Enerjak...did a sprout a tail? Because I'm getting the impression...I'm being ordered to do something...like a dog." Turning a deadly glare on Albedo, Shiki cracked his knuckles.
