RE: Mario's High School Days

~Kirijo Enterprises Minato Branch~

Yu mentally face palmed at Teddie's Bear pun, sure the bear was humorous and so, but the bear pun jokes did grow old during the year, of course he couldn't blame Teddie, he was pretty much alone most of his life in the TV and only lived perhaps a year at most in their world but his eyebrows raised up from eharing about the reference of the Velvet Room and Igor, so this Minato met him.

"Now I got to meet this guy." he thought as Mitsuru opened the door for them to leave, maybe not a demand but a sign of them taking up enough of her time and walked out with Naoto and Teddie in tow when they left eh building, hand to his chin. "Nyx, Evokers... the Arisato twins... did our Senpai really have it more rougher than we did?" He asked aloud, he certainly understood the Evoker situation would stress anyone out to summon their Persona at the cost of their stamina, especially when you trick yourself to shoot your head off, all the Investigation Team had to do was summon their persona through the stress of battling monsters and cutting or crushing their card, so their method was less dangerous, though the stakes in fighting Shadows wasn't something all teenagers go through in their lives.

"But we don't have a description of what these twins even look like." he also mentioned, sure eh could ask Naoto to look up their profles or Uncle Dojima, though, the latter would be doubtful since Uncle had a hard time understanding what his nephew did and accepted it thanks to saving Nanako, but right now, Dojima and Nanako were being a proper family thanks to his time at inaba.

~Riders, Gokaigers and Sentai~

Tsukasa noted Ryotaro's shifting and Gentaro had an arm wrapped around Kengo's shoulder as Marvelous spoke. "So we just sit back and let everything sort itself out?" he asked and Tsukasa shrugged. "Only thing us humans can do, no doubt Saxon will get a nice bonus in election votes, course, I don't care much for politics, who wants to be tied down by lots of paperwork and run a country when you can travel freely." he said and Gai spoke. "But, without that, there'd be mayhem all across the country and who knows what could happen..."
"Meh, I suppose that's true." Tsukasa answered.

~Riders II-

Shotaro gave a sigh as he reached the Detective Agency, he managed to arrive after getting a taxi that wasn't affected by the riots seeing as revolgarry and the Hardboiler motorcycle was with it, he was kind of glad he had the Lost Driver, left to him by his Mentor, Soichiki Narumi who handed it to Zordon who then passed it to him, saying there will possibly be times when Phillip isn't available for transformation, plus SHotaro was the fighter of the two as Phillip never got out much and didn't have a stronger body, but so far, Shotaro only used the Joker Memory and didn't want to try and use the other two Memories at his disposal which were Metal and Trigger respectively, Phillip could use the Driver as well to perhaps become Kamen Rider Cyclone, Heat or Luna or... use the Seventh W memory, but Phillip swore to never use it again after what it done to him last time they used it.

"I'm home, Aibou, Mione-chan." SHotaro called out (A/N: Aibou means Partner in Japanese)
~Ankh~

Ankh took the Cell medals with a smile, absorbing them into his hand and looked at the other Core Medals he stolen from Kazari, the Lion and another Cheetah medal, that brought them up to these Medals.

2x Taka, 2x Kujaku, 2x Condor, 1x Batta, 1x Lion, 1x Tora, 2x Cheetah, 1x Gorilla

"So Kazari still has most of Uva, Gamel and Mezul's Medals, what an annoyance." he muttered, since the Core Medals were in sets of 3 for Head, Body and legs with their Tenth medals destroyed, they were incomplete homunculi, of course He knew Eiji could of used a Combo here but there was the risk of exhaustion afterwards.

 

Hospital:

Yashamaru worried as Minato had left and Minako stared at him with concerned crimson eyes, "Ah, why can't he just sit still... Minako-chan, please sit still, I don't need another patient running around the hospital right now." Brushing blond hair out of his eyes, Yashamaru left the room, glancing down the halls, looking for the now missing blue haired high school student but all he found was Saix. Running his fingers up into his hair and tugging on it, Yashamaru leaned against the wall. His eyes wandered to the TV and he groaned, "Are they still showing that? I wish they'd put something a bit more...happy on to show around here." Releasing his hair, Yashamaru pushed off the wall and stood beside Saix's chair, "So what did you need to talk about?"

Minato walked around for a while before realizing he'd left his clothes, cell, ID and Evoker in his room. Awkwardly, he continued to walk until he arrived at the first floor lobby. Passing by a phone, he paused for a second and it started to ring. Glancing around, Minato found no one else around. Picking up the phone, he held it to his ear and scowled at the voice that came through. "You performed marvelously. I didn't expect you to actually go and defend your sister so flawlessly. Are you sure it's wise to be walking around defenseless like that?" Minato gripped the phone tighter, "How did you know where she was? Who took my sister? How did you get this number? Where are you? Who are you?" The string of questions poured out before Minato could restrain himself. A laugh echoed through and despite the urge to tear the phone cord out and toss the phone against the wall, Minato remained calm. "My name is Izaya Orihara. I can be your best friend. All you have to do is follow my suggestions. Now, before you hang up, I'd get yourself something to defend yourself with. If you look underneath the couch there...you'll find a very familiar blade. Since you're feeling much better, there will be someone there momentarily to --" "I already have a best friend. No thanks." Hanging up, Minato swiftly moved to the couch and sure enough, underneath it was his sword he'd used to fight Shadows. Slumping down on the couch, Minato held the sword in his lap, 'You're sly, Izaya. I'll remember this...'

Tokyo Streets:

Naoto flipped open her phone, quickly speaking as the call connected and hung up just as quickly. "I've asked for a car to come pick us up. We'll arrive at the hospital much faster this way." She lowered her head, touching her right fist to her chin, "Our senpai in fighting Shadows... Whatever this Nyx is, Kirijo-san mentioned must have taken a severe toll on the Twins. Perhaps a kind of Shadow we didn't see during the investigation. On another note...the Dark Hour, that change in the room after she pressed that switch, felt very much like that other world. Kirijo-san didn't appear very fatigued after using her Evoker, but I certainly felt the tension." Shaking her head, Naoto sighed as a black car pulled up in front of them, "We'll find out what they look like when we arrive at the hospital. I'm going to pull up the medical records of the Twins, I trust you have no objections, Senpai?" She glanced at Yu as she climbed into the car, making room for Teddie and Yu and opened a laptop that was handed to her from the driver.

Ryoji Mochizuki's room:

Materializing out of a dark corner, a young boy wearing a baggy, black and white striped outfit stepped into the light and smiled at Ryoji, "Isn't this fun. I didn't imagine we'd be in the same place at the same time. Though..." he paused, blue eyes travelling up to the ceiling, "I wonder who you are... Are you really...the End?"

Toshima District:

CFW Magic scowled at the Goddesses from her place as the acting guard of Fuuka, Tekken and the others' prison. "How dare you call our beautiful Goddess a Bar Whore!" She turned adoring eyes to Arifore, "Our orders, My Goddess." Linda rolled her eyes as she sat on a rock, "I think Bar Whore fits her perfectly...she certainly dresses the part." Belle sighed as she hung there, "I feel a sense of deja vu. I don't like being strung up like this...these tentacles are completely unnecessarily tight." Kuro shivered, "It's cold..." Balling her hands into fits, she glared at Arifore, "Are you that scared to fight us head on that you'd tie us up with some freaky lie?!" Fuuka, having continually listened to the conversation, gripped her Evoker tightly before touching the cold tip to her forehead, "I don't have as much power as I used to...I've let myself fall back into my old insecurities. But still...I want to help everyone." Pulling the trigger, Fuuka's Persona, Lucia, appeared around her. Lucia's gauge of the rising power of the container holding the CPU's made Fuuka shiver. Her mind focused on the collective power of the CFW's and Arifore herself. It felt similar to when SEES had fought against Strega and then Nyx.

 

~Minato Distirct: Peach's House~​

​

"The street cameras near the other side ouf the alleyway you were near caught three individuals fleeing the scene with the Princess and mistress Kairi in tow. The cameras down in Toshima caught them next throwing Kairi and some others into a cage while Peach was suspended in midair over the dome. Unfortunately going down into Toshima is dangerous due to all of the low-life scum and villiany that controls that area" Toadsworth explained sternly as he stared at the four students before he added "I'm not going to tell you not to go down there, but I will tell you to be careful out there...and to bring Peach back alive. Please?"​

"No, I am not afraid. I'm simply not stupid enough to fall for a trap when it was obvious." Arfoire said with a stern look to her as she stared at the trapped CPUs. Pirachu came out from the shadows near the AC Containment Field while carrying a camera as he started to take pictures of the CPUs in their compromised positions. Vert simply blinked with a dull face as she said aloud "The ugly witch is making a point. We kinda did fall for the trap like a bunch of mice" shortly before Blanc looked at Pirachu and yelled aloud with anger on her face "DAMMIT! I'm going to kick your ass you perverted rat!". CFW Brave, CFW Judge, and CFW Trick came out from the shadows near the cliff where the cage was located. CFW Trick in particular was drooling at the sheer sight of Ram and Rom witth his eyes becoming hearts at the sight of their small bodies. Ram and Rom were creeped out and screamed in sheer terror just as CFW Judge slammed the back of his axe into CFW Trick's head making him fall to the ground face-first.​

​

"That will be enough of your stupid antics!" The S-Type shouted as it, Inferno Obitus, and E. Tempura Wizard rose out from the ground just a few feet away from Arfoire and ASIC. It then crossed its' arms and said with a grin "Either way even if you got free from that cage and rescued the innocents you wouldn't be able to escape...just look around you" before pointing to the sky. The CPUs rolled their eyes into the skies and gasped silently as various King Lakitu-S, Jet Bob-Omb-S, Tanuki Dogoo-S, Giga Tanuki Dogoo-S, and Dubior-S started to form in midair along with a sixth type of S-Type unseen before that all surrounded Peach with violent glares on their faces. Neptune grit her teeth seemingly determined to get herself free...until she glowed and was forcibly reverted back to normal.​

​

~Toshima District: Streets~​

​

Spoiler

S-Types started to rise from the grounds all throughout Toshima with familiar entities like Water Galboros-S, Spiny-S, and others leading the charge. The car and kart duo were racing through the streets quickly. "Hey Mario! There's more of those things that we saw at school!" Luigi exclained with danger showing on his face as he quickly pointed to the skies where four Galaga Elite-S spawned and were trailing in front of them firing rapid fire energy shots. Mario drove like a mad man dodging the energy attacks that were being thrown at him and Luigi. Luigi was holding onto the railing with his hand for dear life while holding down his hat with the other with fear showing on his face. "Seriously, what the hell are they trying to do?" IF commented as she popped her head though the window pulling out a black handgun. Pointing it at the attacking S-Types sideways she proceeded to quickly shoot all four of them out of the sky making them dissolve as the Mario Bros got back onto the road. The two then sped forward towards the bowl.​

Spoiler: BGM

The two vehicles arrived about a few feet away from the bowl before their occupants got out and stared out into the bowl ahead with distant eyes. Yoshi fell to his kness at the sight of Neptune being captive inside the containtment field. With grief on his face the Cooking Club president simply mumbled "Neptune....they got you too..." as Compa leaned down to comfort Yoshi calmly explaining "This isn't your fault Yoshi...I want to save her too". IF looked forward with a serious emerald gaze as she said "They have probably about one hundred or so different things protecting both that diamond and that cage" only for a loud yell of "OH HELL NO!" to interrupt that thought. Mario stood up at the front with his hands rolled up into fists, anger showing on his face, and sapphire eyes staring directly at Peach and the three winged-star looking S-Types that were holding her up.​

​

It was then that Mario ran forward quickly and jumped into the sky before landing on top of a Dubior-S and started to use the aerial S-Types as stepping stones to get to Peach. Luigi being fearful and scared as he shook in his boots hesitantly followed Mario. IF blinked in surprise at what Luigi was doing looking absolutely speechless before she, Compa, Yoshi, and Kirby started to slide down the hill. Mario and Luigi were about to approach the fear-stricken Peach when the S-Type casually rose up to their level and smacked them with a single swing of its' arm sending them both into the Containment Field with their backs against it. "Mario! Luigi!" Neptune shouted in cheer with relief on her face "Think you guys can get us out of this thing?". Noire stared at Neptune with a stern glare as she said "There is no way in hell that these two are our only hope for freedom". Vert looked down at Noire as she reverted back to normal saying with a smile "Stop being so sour. Neptune's just being optimistic. It's better than being left for dead" "But still...these two against a Goddess?". The S-Type appeared before Mario and Luigi with a red eye curiously looking at them before saying "Interesting...the one in green was the one with the burst of power". Mario gritted his teeth in anger as he yelled "Oh yeah! All of you are just horrible, you all capture innocent people for no reason!"​

​

"You really do not understand the full picture. You see this is just the start of the destiny of both the S-Types and the Crystal Ord-" "SHUT UP!!" Mario shouted as he jumped off the side of the containment field and slammed his fist into the S-Type's face sending it flying quite a few feet into the side of the bowl. Landing on his feet Mario shouted aloud "I don't care if you're apart of the Crystal Order or these S-Types you blab on about. You don't just go around and kidnap people like that!" while the S-Type stood up with Inferno Obitus and E. Tempura Wizard in shock. "I'm surprised, most humans are afraid of S-Types. They are especially afraid of the strongest ones...but here you are just standing there facing me down like a barbariac idiot" the S-Type said as Mario stood firm "I am not afraid of you or your friends. I will fight to defend those who need help!". Luigi jumped and joined his brother facing the S-Type firmly with hesitation on his face "I'm not as brave as my brother...but I'm not going to just stand around being a coward while these girls suffer because of you!". The S-Type stood in awe as it started to feel a powerful energy forming from within Mario and Luigi.​

​

"Mario! Luigi! You're not alone!" Yoshi said as he joined the brothers facing the enemies before adding in "This is just inhuman and I'm not going to have evil spread about Tokyo!" with determination on his face. "We'll defy all logic and reasoning to start a revolution against you and the Crystal Order!" Kirby shouted boldy as he floated down beside Yoshi standing on his tiptoes ready to fight. "We'll give it our all! For our families, our friends, and everyone in the world!" Compa shouted raising her large syringe joining the four boys before IF joined in adding "We'll never give into your dark desires!" with her Qatars out. Mario crossed his arms with a smirk as he said "You don't have a chance against us"​

​

The S-Type's red eye twitched before it started to clap slowly saying "Such bravado...Inferno Obitus! Eggplant Tempura Wizard! I give you the following order....kill every single one of them!". Inferno Obitus and E. Tempura Wizard nodded and quickly appeared before the group.​

​

Hell's Death Guardian​

Inferno Obitus​

​

Murderous Food Mage​

E. Tempura Wizard​

​

"You're spouting a lot of nonsense before your divine destruction. It is time you kneel before your goddess as she delivers your judgment!" Arfoire shouted with a joyful expression on her face as she jumped into the air and threw off her hat glowing a neon red light.​

​

The True Goddess​

CPU Arfoire​

Spoiler: It's Boss Time!

​

CFW Judge was ready as he said with glee "Finally! I get to kill some damn people!" with CFW Trick drooling in disgust. "Eliminate them all, none of them cannot interrupt my plan when it's almost complete" Arfoire said rather calmly with a dead serious glare. Mario & Luigi started to rush in and punch the S-Type together in the face sending it flying back once again onto a slightly higher platform with Mario and Luigi jumping after it "We'll make sure you remember the names Mario and Luigi!". The S-Type rose from the punch saying calmly with a calm expression "Mario and Luigi..." shortly before laughing maniacly admitting "I've never seen a human let alone two of them who are able to give me a challenge in all of my existance" "Who are you anyways?" "Well...my name is..."​

-Command Center-

"Now that you mention it, cool-looking robot, my friend, Padfoot, did tell me about those other teams. Apparently, they're pretty cool as well as the Rangers." James said, thinking about what Sirius had told him about the Riders and Gokaigers. Nala looked around the Center, admiring the controls and wondered about the tube which contained Zordon. Navi sat on James' shoulder and said, "I hope you two will fight and join them soon." "Be careful what you wish for there, bird." James said, before thinking to himself, 'Though, after today, I may need to go shopping. I don't have enough black in my wardrobe.'



-Detective Agency-

Hearing Shotaro, Hermione and Philip came out of the room to greet him, Hermione smiled and said, "Welcome back, Shotaro. I'm so happy that you're alright." "Welcome back, partner." Philip said, smiling at his partner. Hermione wiped her eyes of her worried tears, not wanting him to see her cry.

Spoiler

-Sentai, Riders, and Rangers-

"I never cared much for politics. I focused more on my duties as Kamen Rider." Sakura said, putting her arms behind her back. Kengo looked away when Gentaro put his arm around his shoulders. Billy was busy working on communicators with Don while Ahim wondered what was going to happen now while standing with Luka. Dante yawned, while Seki and Hinako thought about their past duties.



-Eiji-

"Hey, Ankh, what do you think Kazari meant by 'the right side of Joker'?" Eiji asked, wondering what Kazari had said and hoping it didn't refer to what he thought it did. He sighed and put his hands in his pockets.



-Yu, Naoto, and Teddie-

"I can't wait to see and meet Mina-chan! I hope she's really cute!" Teddie said as he entered the car and sat next to Naoto. He continued to fantasized about himself and Minako getting closer.



-Ryoji's room-

Looking around, Ryoji held his head in pain. Images appeared in his head, they were blurry, but he could make them out as a large monster with a mask and his head fighting many familiar figures, especially two figures who felt very familiar to him. When they disappeared, Ryoji gasped for air and wondered what happened to him.



-Cardcaptors-

"I remember Clow getting some visits from that Roger guy. He was a little weird old guy. But I don't remember him being that royal-like and noble-like." Kero said, remembering when his master and creator, Clow Reed, was alive and before the book was sealed. Sakura looked surprised and said, "Wow, that must mean he's really old! I didn't know there was magic like that!"

 

~Narumi Detective Agency~

Shotaro smiled before noting his communicator on his wrist started activating as did Phillip's. it was obviously a important call if that started going off. "Looks like we got a meeting to attend to partner." he said looked at Hermione, she'd obviously be left alone here and without anyone to watch over her, he could ask Santa-chan or Watcher to do it if they were around, but sadly that wasn't the case.

"Phillip, leave her with our number for the Stag Phone." He said and pressed the button, him disappearing in a purple light beam the elft the building.

~Riders, Gokaigers and Rangers~

Tsukasa, Gentaro along with marvellous, Joe, Gai, with their other members too the call as Tsukasa gave a annoyed expression. "Better be worth it, I swear they should install an audio function." He said and pressed the button as did the others, turning into beams of Red, Blue, Grey, White and Magenta.

~EIji and Ankh~

Ankh got the beeper and he had to an annoyed look. "What does that big head want now?" he grumbled to himself.

~Wajima Shop~

Haruto too got the beep and nodded to Koyomi. "I'll be back soon Koyomi." he said and pressed it, vanishing in a red light as well.

~Cardcaptors~

Syaoran stared at the place Roger bacon once was and Sakura's surprise at that kidn of magic of living longer. "It's not impossible, but that would go against the laws of nature, magic like that is either locked away to never be used, if it were an vengeful spirit like in we faced when you came over to Hong Kong and you were drawn in because you had the cards." Syaoran explained, it was true some magic could alter the nature of a human and go against it, but not without paying a cost in return, Clow Reed did create the Cards and that took very exceptional magic to even produce.

"But still, it's amazing he managed to evade the Sword Card, since it can cut through anything." he noted.

~Yu Narukami~

Yu joined them in the chair and nodded at Naoto's question, she was more deeper in the investigation work as her time as a Shirogane, fo course, her help was invaluable to the team with her abilities and giving new insight to the culprit, if they didn't have her on the team, they'd probably would thought Mitsuo Kubo was indeed the true culprit, from he heard about the unstable boy last time, he was still in prison for taking Mooroka's life as a copycat killer, of course the real killer was behind bars thanks to their investigation.

"Nyx a Shadow?" he couldn't exactly deny that option, after all, Teddie was one and so was the Reaper was one of possibly the hardest Shadows to face along with the Sagiri, Kusumi-no-Okami and Izanami, even Margret herself was a challenge along with Elizabeth, what could Nyx have done to warrant such consequence to the Twins?

~Aoi~

After much skipped fashion and plot that would be too inconvenient, Aoi and his sister Clair had somehow arrived in Toshima weirdly, either their driver was really bad with directions despite having satellite navigation installed or the plot demanded they be there, naturally, they assumed it was the first option.

"Remind me to never again, hire Captain Slow as our chauffeur ever again." Aoi said to his sister, yes their driver was James May but how did eh get the job? Simple, it was the best they could find, Richard Hammond was off in America trying to become a American and Jeremy Clarkson was well, Clair never liked powerful speedy vehicles, and the Stig? He wasn't available per usual.

 

Shirogane Car/Hospital:

Naoto quickly typed away at her laptop until she stumbled across a picture of the blue haired boy, "Minato Arisato..." The site she'd been rummaging on, of course, was the Kirijo owned hospital's database and the only photo of the boy had been a rather lifeless snapshot of him lying in a hospital bed. Tearing her eyes away from the poor sight, Naoto scanned the recap of information about his condition, "Minato Arisato fell into a comatose state on the graduating day of his second year at Gekkoukan High. He remained in such state for an entire year. Vital signs remained normal for the entire year, even with the absence of Ms. Kirijo's daily visits." She frowned, "He fell asleep...? Ah, the same is recorded for Minako Arisato." Slipping into her thoughts, Naoto hadn't realized when the car stopped in front of the hospital. "Shirogane-sama...we've arrived." "What? Oh, yes, thank you." Herding Yu and Teddie into the hospital. She ignored the wait room lobby and swiftly moved to the front desk to inquire about the Arisato Twins. "I'd like to know what room Minato and Minako Arisato are staying in. My name is Naoto Shirogane, I'm a detective."

Minato's head lifted and turned towards the three that had entered the hospital. How could he not stare at the three odd people. They looked to be his age, or what his age was a year ago... They didn't look like bad people...and a detective to be looking for him and Minako was... "You're looking for me?"

Yashamaru smiled at Saix, "I'd rather the patients be naive than worry and stress about something happening around them instead of to them." Regarding his question, Yashamaru paused thoughtfully, "School doesn't resume until friday... With how Minato's been acting and the fact that Minako's only here for observation, they should be back in school the day it resumes. You have nothing to worry about."

Ryoji Mochizuki's room:

Pharos quietly backed away from Ryoji. If he didn't remember and Ryoji didn't remember...the memories would either slowly come back or never at all. He wished they never would come back. Like those two had said...it was better not to wish for the End. Odd that Pharos didn't vanish when he'd come to see Ryoji, Pharos considered himself to be grateful and smiled as he backed into a dark corner, vanishing from the room. He wanted to spend more time with Minako and Minato than anyone.

Orihara Apartment:

Izaya stood up from his place at the opposite end of the Shogi board and speed dial 6-ed three Oracles, putting them on conference call. As it rang, Akashi glanced at him from the corner of his eye, "You're interfering now?" Shooting him a happy grin, Izaya waited until the calls connected, "I'm evening the playing field. Oracle, Mina, Oracle Chika, Oracle Kei...your CPU's are kidnapped and only I know where they are." He held the phone away from his ear as Chika launched into a rage, screaming something about her precious Vert-sama. "No need to yell, I'm not the only one on the other line, y'know. For this bit of information, I'll give to you for a favor that I'll call in later. Now..." Relaying the coordinates, he listened as the three Oracles hung up and tossed his phone onto his desk, "Looks like that's the end of my involvement in today. Akashi-kun, would you like me to take you back to Kyoto?" Akashi ignored him for a full five minutes as he thought about his next move, "No, my train doesn't leave until seven. I'd like to stay and see if my prediction about your battle is correct."

From the Oracles, orders to C.C. and Falcom to rescue the CPU's came down and the pair rushed off towards Toshima.

 

-Detective Agency-

Philip nodded, giving Hermione the phone he had used earlier with the number to call them on a piece of paper and the Gaia Memory for it. He explained to her, "If you need us to come back for something important or anything, call us on this. And stay here so you'll be safe, Mione-chan." Pressing the button on his communicator, Philip disappeared in a flash of green, Hermione just stood there in the main room after she was left alone, gripping the items she had been given, whispering to herself, "Be careful, you two."

-Sentai, Riders, and Rangers-

Surprised at being called twice in one day, Billy, Kengo, Luka, Don, Ahim, Basco, Ryotaro, and Dante disappeared in colors of red, blue, green, pink, yellow, and black. Watching them teleport to the Command Center, Sakura headed back to her house with Seki and Hinako, following her. Seki thought to herself, 'Guess Sakura decided that this time, they will do the mission on their own without our help, as it should be.' Hinako was confused at how quiet Sakura was as they walked.



-Eiji & Ankh-

"Lets go find out, Ankh." Eiji said, pressing the button on his communicator and disappeared in a flash of purple.



-Wajima Shop-

Koyomi watched Haruto disappeared and put her hands together in prayer, hoping for a safe journey or what he was going to do as well as hoping that he would come back safely and in one piece. Sitting down, Koyomi saw the bag that Haruto left behind and took a dount from it, shyly eating it.



-Cardcaptors-

"By the way, kid, he scratched you up a bit, didn't he?" Kero said, Sakura nodded, touching her injured arm and thinking about how it happened when he suddenly attacked her. Looking at Syaoran, she asked nervously, "Hey, Li-kun, do you have a bandage or something that I could use to fix my arm? I don't want Toya onii-chan to be all over me about what happened."



-Hospital-

Teddie was surprised at how fast they had found Minato and said, "Yes, I can't believe we found you so quickly! I'm Teddie, it's nice to meet you! Where is your possibly cute and adorable sister, Mina-chan?" Teddie just looked at him, starry eyed and completely unaware of any circumstances that would happen to him because of his question.



-Ryoji's room-

"What happened? That felt like a weird case of deja vu." Ryoji said. Stretching, he got up out of his bed and told himself, "Well, better get back to unpacking. I can't wait to start school this year."



-Aoi & Clair-

"Yeah, remind me why we hired that guy in the first place anyway, onii-chan." Clair said, wondering why they would hire a driver with no sense of direction and ask him to drive them to the memorial only to end somewhere completely different.



-Command Center-

James and Nala watched their new teammates appear in the center through a rainbow of colors, James gasped when he noticed Thomas and Tommy from the green and white, he said, "Thomas, Tommy! You're Power Rangers?! Man, I should of guessed that, I mean, you two were the best of my students." "Well, hello there, miss. What are you and mister weirdo doing here?" Dante asked, looking at Nala and admiring her figure. Ignoring Dante's perverted eyes, Nala spoke to the others, "Hello, I am Nala, the new Mighty Morphin Yellow Ranger. And this is James, the new Mighty Morphin Black Ranger. It will be a honor to fight with you all." "Yup, I hope we all get along and be good friends as we protect Japan and the world." James said, smiling.

"This means that the Power Rangers are finally a full team!" Kimberly said, smiling. Billy smiled, nodding as well, Tommy gave a soft laugh, saying, "Well, I wasn't expecting our old martial arts teacher." "Yeah, that is unexpected." Thomas said, smiling.

Kirby was running as fast as he dodging all of the electric projectiles that the Dubiors-S were firing off in rapid bursts. Quickly turning around the pink puffball looked onward with a serious expression before opening hs mouth and started to suck in all of the projectiles being thrown at him. The Dubiors-S looked at Kirby rather surprisingly as Kirby's cheeks were stuffed full. With a swift gulp Kirby swallowed the electric orbs and jumped into the air glowing white with his form flickering about. Yoshi was quickly and swiftly dodging frantic erratic swings from a raging and rushing CFW Judge along with purple and orange magical-based shots of energy being shot off from E. Tempura Wizard. Yoshi's blue gaze looked to the right where the AC Containment Field stood where Pirachu was taking pictures of the CPUs with the oily substance filling up within it. Opening his mouth quickly Yoshi grabbed Pirachu with his tounge sending the mouse into surprise before he was flung into Yoshi's mouth. "Yuck, this taste dirty!" Yoshi said with his cheeks stuffed with Pirachu trying to get out of Yoshi's mouth yelling "Hey, get me out of this big-nosed thing's mouth! Chuuu~". Seconds later Pirachu was swallowed and a white egg with green spots came out from Yoshi's rear end. Pulling out a large watermelon Yoshi shouted "Cooking Club Sepcial Technique: WATERMELON SPIT!" shoving it in his mouth as he franticly chewed quickly. Yoshi then started to fire a large volley of sharp black seeds aimed for the Anti-Crystal barrier with no effect as it pinged off of it.​

​

"What!? My attack didn't even dent that thing!?!" Yoshi exclaimed as his face went into a state of shock with his eyes having gone huge. Kirby quickly flew forward with determination as he shouted "Sir! Let me try something!". Yoshi noticed as Kirby landed the icy-looking hat he had on his head. Kirby took a deep breath and blew out a stream of icy cold energy at the barrier slowly causing a large crystal sheet of ice to form on it. Kirby crossed his arms with a smirk only for the ice to shatter with no effect on the barrier at all. Pirachu wiggled about within the egg for a moment before breaking out pointing at the two with a smirk exclaiming "Chuuuu~ That containment field won't go down to your wimpy chump attacks!" shortly before CFW Judge and E. Tempura Wizard started to assault the two boys once again.​

​

Meanwhile Compa and IF had made it to the cliff where the dark cage, Tekken, Fuuka, and Kairi stood before them. "Okay Iffy...how are we going to get that cage open" Compa asked tilting her head with a confused expression on her face adding "It looks like it's made of darkness...just my guess on it". Inferno Obitus rose up before them with a smirk on his face yelling "Bingo! The nurse gets the answer correct! We're afraid you're going to perish before you rescue these people" with large wrist-blades made out of darkness and magma formed on his wrists. "Heh, you think you're a big deal? I kicked the asses of your cronies back at the 109..you're no different!" IF shouted with a smirk on her face shortly before the two started to clash in an intense battle of clanging blades while Compa stood back firing rapid bursts of needles into the arms of Inferno Obitus making him flinch in pain.​

​

Both Mario Bros. and Astral on the other hand were delivering and exchanging quick punches and kicks to each other. Both sides surprised that the other could keep up within the frantic pace. "Mario! Let's try your idea again!" Luigi shouted with a smirk as he stretched his arms out to the side. Mario started to run towards Luigi with a grin as he jumped into the air yelling "Bros....." while spinning. Luigi's grin turned into a panic as Arfoire was speeding towards him with determination on her face. "Mario! Hurry it up with the move!" was all the paniced Luigi could shout before Luigi's face met with the cold blunt side of a weapon sending him skidding along the ground away from the battle between Astral and Mario. Mario looked down with a paniced shock as he yelled aloud "...Gattai!?!" before his rear-end met with the rocky ground. Luigi trying to raise up met his blue eyes with that of a large gold, black, and purple axe that Arfoire was holding towards him. The turn of events made Blanc's face angry as she said aloud "First we get trapped in this damn thing and now she's taking our weapons and techniques!". "Blanc, I wouldn't be saying that if I were you dear sister. Look down below" Vert requested with concern. Blanc looked down and noticed that the oily substance was starting to rise a bit faster.​

​

Astral on the other hand started to gain the upper hand as it was blasting Mario with all sorts of dark fireballs yelling with a grin "You claim that you have all that bravado and firey energy...yet here you are being blasted apart by an S-Type thjat's stronger than you!" as it knocked Mario around like a ragdoll. Astral then raised its' arms in the air with Mario's eyes laying witness to a black diamond being formed encased within a dark blue fire. "You know, it's a shame you won't have your free will for long!!" Astral said boldy before firing the sphere at Mario's heart. The sphere struck Mario sending him flying back into the wall as the sphere entered his body. Mario started to lurch about erraticly as Astral explained "That is an S-Type crystal...once it's inside you'll become an S-Type and lose your mind". Mario simply grinned as he looked at Astral with his eyes flickering from blue to red while laughing "You REALLY think you can control me huh? Very bold move to try and use me against my brother and friends". Mario immediatly stopped erraticly moving and swung his arm causing the sphered crystal to come flying out of his body encased in a burning red fire as it crashed into the wall "News flash Astral...you can't control me!". Astral crossed its' arms and floated into the sky with a red eye focused on Mario saying "How interesting, you simply threw out the S-Type like it was nothing." before it floated to Peach and gently placed a finger on her chin making her squirm "It would be ashamed if the one thing you came all this way for was murdered before your eyes"​

~Gadd Science~​

​

On the top floor of the building Professor E.Gadd was in his office tinkering about with a Metallic Red Nintendo 3DS trying to start up a program until a loud alarm interrupted the scientist's work. Quickly closing the window shutters E. Gadd pulled out a white laptop and quickly typed in a hurry "Program Execute: Prototype S-Radar Software". This made a large GPS Map of Tokyo appear onscreen. "Okay, let's see what we have here" E. Gadd said with a smile as he looked at themap noticing tiny blue dots appearing quickly in Toshima all over the place. Quickly zooming in on Toshima E. Gadd noticed three large pulsating dots directly in the bowl commenting "So that's the epicenter of the S-Type invasion...and the others outside are of various power levels" as he pulled out a second white laptop with a built in microphone and opened Skype up. Quickly he started to make a call to his employees, Peppy, and Harriet Jones. "Can everyone hear me?" "Yes I can hear you Professor" "Elvin! It's been awhile. How have you been" "Oh hey there Peppy. Oh and Vexen and Gordon are right here with me at my lab" "Yes Professor, the damn rioters almost killed us" "Calm down everyone and listen to me closely...I want you to look at this" E. Gadd explained as he sent the image feed from the program to everyone​

​

There were sounds of shock and panic with Vexen speaking up in sarcasm "You have got to be kidding me!" "No Vexen, I'm not kidding...all of those blue dots are S-Types with the epicenter located in that bowl with the three large dots" "Professor, what do you suppose we do about all these S-Types?" "Really the only option we have is to use KOS-MOS" "Using KOS-MOS!? She'll kill everyone!" "Quiet Vexen! She can hear you!" "Shion, this robot child of ours..." "Robot Child!? What in the heck is she on about" "It's a long story Dr. Crygor. I don't want to go into it right now so let's get back to the topic at hand." "Yes yes, I want all of my employees down here at once. Peppy feel free to come down yourself and I will explain KOS-MOS to you old friend" "Of course Professor, We'll all be down in just a moment" "Good, get down here quickly"​

~Shinjuku Resturant~​

Histoire was standing outside the room preparing to leave when her cell phone started to ring. Curious the mother picked it up and looked at it reading "Mina Nishizawa" on the phone. Histoire quickly answered with concern and said happily "Mina~! Hello there! What's up? :)" only for the paniced voice of the Lowee Oracle to shout "It's awful! We were just told that your kids were all captured!" "Mina...calm down" "I can't! Chika's gone ballistic over Vert and I can't think straight" "...Put me on speaker". Mina put Histoire on speaker. Histoire took in a calm breath before shouting aloud in anger "Hakozaki Chika, CALM THE HELL DOWN!!! ". Histoire calmed down as Mina explained "We tried to call Compa and IF but we couldn't get ahold of them. The same went for Tekken-chan. But we did manage to send CC and Falcom after them" "Good, I want you three to get to my house. I will meet you there" "Okay, sounds good" Mina said before she hung up. Histoire looked back inside the room at Virus and Sei with a stern expression as she said "We have to get home now. Mina called...someone told her our kids were captured" before she quickly ran out the door and sped off in her minivan to her house.​

 

~Hospital~

Yu followed Naoto to the reception desk and asked for the rooms where the Arisato twins were based but lo and behold, a voice asked if they were looking for him, it was a surprise to say the least, either Naoto having the Fortune Arcana made them this lucky or fate or something done this, but he was surprised Minato sounded close to Yosuke in terms of voice, then again, Adachi sounded almost like him if he didn't have a lower tone.

"Yes, I'm Yun Narukami, this is Teddie and Naoto Shirogane, we come to see you and your sister regarding 'certain' events that transpired during last year, we already met Kirijo-san and Yamagishi-san before finding you." He said calmly, those two names and last year would make some dots in his predecessor's head to connect.

"So if possible, might we return to your room so we can discuss this in private?" He asked him.

~Command Centre~

Ankh gave a annoyed stare. "This is the important call? just some more humans joining in?" ebfore the robot, Alpha explained Toshiam was in trouble and Tsukasa shrugged at the orders. "Just get a audio application installed in these then we shouldn't have to teleport back her a lot." he said as Gentaro grinned. "Alright! two new buddies! I'm Kisaragi Gentaro and I'm going to be buddies with everyone!" he said, brushing a hand past his hand and pointing energetically at them.

"Let's just get going, we can't let Toshima to weep any longer." he said as Haruto gave a nod.

"Then, let's make this showy!" marvellous said with a smirk, arms crossed as Joe flexed his wrists. "Just don't get in my way." he said as gai grinned. "Alright! Let's do it!"

~Toshima District: Aoi and Clair~

After much defibrillation, Aoi and his sister had decided to scout Toshima in flight as CPU's, it was better than walking to sya the least, but the two saw a fight scene going on, between some old lady wielding a large gold, black, and purple axe to attack well, a civilian, well he sure looked like one with his plumber outfit and abotut to be struck down.
"Come on sis, time for our fighting debut!" Aoi called out and with as much speed as a HDD could be possible with, he shot downwards, barely blocking the axe that swung for Luigi and brought black blade up to defend, creating sparks between the two weapons.

"CPU Blue heart on the scene~!" he said and brought his foot up, kicking Arforie in the stomach to send her back a bit.

~Cardcaptors~

Syaoran took a moment to think, he knew Sakura's brother was the overprotective kind and he wouldn't have alarm belsl go off unless he thought the cut came from the riots that occurred.

"We'll head to my place then." he said in conclusion.

Minato watched cautiously with a blank blue stare as Teddie spoke and then Yu spoke. He knew what he was asking, but why were these people asking about it? They spoke to Mitsuru...and Fuuka. "Mitsuru-senpai recommended you come see me..." Gripping the sword in his hand, he tucked it close to his leg to hide it from the nurses, "Shirogane-san, Narukami-san, and Teddie..." he repeated dully, "If you're asking about the end of last year, my memories are a little hazy... Are you police or something?" Naoto eagerly walked to his side, "Something like that. I'm a detective. Yu-senpai and Teddie assisted in an investigation we did a year ago in Inaba. Perhaps you heard about the murders?" He gave her another blank stare, "Nope. Inaba...Inaba... I went to the high school there for a Kendo training session. Minako too, though for Tennis. I remember your town. Quiet...empty...not much like Port Island." Naoto watched as a distant smile ghosted over Minato's face and she turned to Yu, "Perhaps Minato-san encountered Izanami as well during his trip to Inaba." Minato ran a hand over his chest, searching for his MP3 player, "What's an Izanami...? Is that something like Nyx?" As if per cue, Naoto turned a fierce gaze on Minato, "That name again! Minato-san, please allow us to go to your room and discuss this." He gave a lazy nod and they started for the room he was inhabiting.
Encountering Yashamaru outside of his room, Minato swapped hands for the sword and skillfully avoided Yashamaru catching him with the deadly weapon. "Minato, please don't run off again. Who knows if your wound would re-open." "It's not going to re-open. I told you...that bandage fell off when I sat up...but I'll be careful." Affectionately patting his head, Yashamaru left him with his assumed friends. Sliding the door open, Minato side stepped Minako's open arms and she fell onto Teddie. "I'm back..." "Welcome back, onii-chan! Oh, Aki left, but he said he'd come back tomorrow with Shinjiro-senpai." 'Yikes...' "Um, these are Naoto Shirogane, Yu Narukami and the guy you're hugging is Teddie...so let go..." Minako's wide crimson eyes blinked and she let go of Teddie, staring at him. Her forehead collided with Teddies as she stared into his eyes, "You have eyes like Pharos! You're not human! Can I keep him?!" "Uh..." Minato banged his head against the door jam as Minako continued her scavenge of Teddie. "Pretty blond hair..." Her crimson eyes flooded with tears and she wordlessly covered her mouth. "You can't cry every time you see a blond haired guy, Nee-chan." Despite the cryptic conversation between brother and sister, Naoto listened keenly to the key words she'd bring up later and get the answers she wanted.


Toshima:

Seeing Arfoire be kicked by a new CPU, CFW Magic snarled, "Arfoire-sama!!" Launching herself in front of Aoi, she lifted her scythe, "YOU'RE DEAD!" Twirling, she slammed one heeled boot into Aoi's sword, sending him flying back. "How DARE you kick my beloved Goddess! You worthless little WORM! I'll slice you into pieces until there's nothing left but minced CPU!" Magic dragged pink colored nails down her ashen cheek, "My Goddess is stronger than you, pitiful CPU's. My Goddess is by far more beautiful than any of you CPU's!" Twirling her scythe around, she glared one yellow eye at Aoi, "I'll send you to your grave!"
Linda cowered away from the battles, but before her feet could carry her as far away from the fighting as possible, CFW Magic barked at her without taking her eyes off Aoi, "Where the hell do you think you're going, Underling?! Get rid of these pests that are bothering our Goddess!" Linda's shoulders slumped but she pulled out an iron pipe, "Got the pest part right, alright." Linda ran towards Yoshi and Kirby fighting against Pirachu, "GROSS! The hell is that Freaky Gay Alien breathing on the cage for?!" Linda stared at the remains of the egg Pirachu broke out of and made a face, "Yuck, were you just shat out of the Gay Alien's Boyfriends' @ss? You stink like sh!t, dude." She edged away from him, mock holding her nose. Fuuka's voice echoed out of the cage, announcing to Yoshi and Kirby, "She's only human. Physical attacks should do the trick." Linda spun around and stomped her foot on the ground, "Stop giving them hints, or I'll kick your @ss, girly!" C.C. and Falcom skidded to a halt, panting as they arrived on the scene in Toshima. "OI, OI, there's Tekken! C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, let's go get 'em!" Falcom dropped her music case, unlatched it and pulled out a sword, "Here we go, CC. I'll tear apart all of these guys and rescue Nepgear!" C.C. blinked and black ears twitched on her head, "Ehhhh? We're not gonna get Tekken and then save the CPU's?" Falcom fixed C.C. with a hard glare, "I will not risk my friends' safety even for a second more. Tekken will be alright for the moment." She dashed towards the Containment Field holding the CPU's and C.C. scurried after her, pulling twin daggers from their places at her sides. Lowering half her body closer to the ground, C.C. became a green and tan blur across the ground as she ran, her tail flying behind her.

Shinjuku Restaurant:

Chika quieted down in the background when Histoire shrieked at them. Virus and Sei stood, "Then shall we leave and meet your friends?" They followed closely behind Histoire in the Impala all the way to her home and saw the anxious green haired Chika pacing outside on the lawn. A gray haired boy? stood calmly speaking to Chika, "I'm not wrong, Chika. Do not underestimate my ability with numbers. The person who called us does not have the CPU's. He is simply a go-between. I have reports on sightings of members of ASIC in Toshima. I believe C.C. and Falcom can handle the situation." "You're WRONG! You're absolutely wrong! Vert-sama annihilated those guys! Vert-sama is missing...oh I can't believe this! I feel faint..." Virus adjusted his glasses, looking to Histoire for her lead in handling her friends when Sei reached around Chika and hugged her from behind. Chika stiffened. "Please calm down. Vert is alright for the moment and she has very valuable friends with her." "How do you know? Who the hell are you anyway!?" She jerked out of his arms and spun around, narrowly missing Sei's gaze as he lowered his head to avoid hers. He held up his hands defensively, "Because a part of me is with them." Virus' blue eyes narrowed, "Their phones... Sei..."

"Well, then, mister I can do everything so perfectly, why don't you do it then?" Dante said, still eyeing Nala who didn't seem to notice. Hitting on him on the head, Kimberly told him, "He and Billy can both it." "Yeah, but it will take some time." Billy said. Tommy said, "Either way, it's morphin time! Tigerzord!"

"Sensei, Nao-chan, did you see that?! She hugged me!!! Mina-chan really likes Teddie!" Teddie said to them, his starry eyes shining with joy and happiness as well as almost crying himself.

~Command Centre, Transformation Montage is a-ago!~

Tsukasa shrugged and brought out his Kamen Ride card as he place dteh belt around his waist, it strapping around him as SHotaro did the same, but Phillip's Driver magically appearing on his own and Haruto scanning the hand buckle with a ring. "Driver On~!" it called out as Tsukasa slid in the Kamen Ride: Decade card. "Henshin." he said and slid the card in and hit the sides as SHotaro pushed in the Cyclone memory that transferred from Phillip's right slot into his own and doen the same with his Joker Memory. "Henshin!" he said and pushed the sides, forming a W with his belt as Gentaro put on the Fourze Driver and flipped four Switches Haruto flipped the plastic over his ruby ring and scanned it. "Henshin."

"Kamen Ride: Decade!""CycloneJoker!""3, 2, 1...."
"Flame, Please~ Hi~ Hi~ Hi~ Hi!~"

The eblts all sounded at once as Kamen Riders Decade, Double, Fourze and Wizard took their forms as Marvelosu gave a smirk and brought out hi Gokai Red key and Mobirates, same with Joe and Gai and they spoke. "Gokai Change!" As they transformed respectively into Gokai Red, Blue and Silver respectively.

Ankh gave an annoyed look and simply raised his hand and his body changed to a mass of silver coins before reforming into his Greeed like self.

~Toshima~

Aoi was pushed by CFW Magic, taking a moment to steady himself, it seemed like the old hag had a devote lackey before promising to send him to his grave, of course, Clair took this moment to literally punch Magic in the face and send him bouncing along the ground with her sisterly rage. and Aoi sweatdropped. "And that's why I prefer staying on her good side." he thought to himself.

"What, that old hag is more beautiful? No thanks, I'd rather go with someone who isn't wrinkly and cranky like she lost her chance twenty years ago." He answered to Magic.

Marvelous or in this case, Marvy somehow ended up in Toshima as well, wielding her kunai, lost as ever until the fighting broke out, now she was trying to stay alive. "Oh if only I had some time to use one of my scrolls." She said and jumped back, his ample...assets bouncing stiflingly in her outfit.

~Hospital~

Yu sweatdropepd at Minako's... reaction and Teddie cheer for the scenario, he did note the name of Pharaos being like Teddie and asking if she could keep him. "You wouldn't want him, he uses bear puns way too much and flirts with nearly every girl he lays his eyes on." he said with a sigh and refocused himself. "and I assume your Minako-san... I...no...we have some questions we like you to answer, we aren't the police or anything of the kind, well except for Naoto whose a Detective, we come to ask about what happened a year ago." he explained and opened up his hand.
"Because we have experienced what you have, the power of Persona." he finished.

 

~Toshima District: Silence~​

​

Inferno Obitus simply chuckled with a grin on his face before pushing IF back with such force that the brunette had managed to fall on top of Compa. Looking on at the fallen girls Inferno Obitus started to speak up "You are the one that's nothing insignificant to us" with his hands pulsating with orbs of fire and darkness. He then slammed his hands together to make one single large orb of firey darkness shouting "It's time you two died with a firey dark conclusion!" as he fired the large orb at the two girls. The two girls closed their eyes and held onto each other quickly ready to embrace the full impact of Inferno Obitus' attack...until they heard a single *THWACK* followed by a loud explosion and a shout from a surprised Inferno Obitus "What in the bloody hell!?". The two opened their eyes only to meet with the back of Bowser's shell and Inferno Obitus leaned against the cage with smoke rising from his body. "You? Why would you even come here!?" Inferno Obitus asked as his skull met with Bowser's angry face and fists prepped up. With that question Bowser stomped over and grabbed Inferno Obitus lifting him up by the collar to where their eyes could meet as he sternly said "Get this through your thick, pea-brained skull. You just tried to kill two people..two innocent girls might I ask. You're also keeping three more captive behind you and one in mid-air. Now you're gonna get a beating!" shortly before swinging and throwing Inferno Obitus sending him smacking into the containment field and sliding down to the ground in a daze. Compa and IF blinked in confusion before Compa smiled and said happily "Um....thanks for savving us, big guy"​

​

Bowser looked at the two with a rather surprised expression before crossing his arms and closed his eyes with a smug look as he said "I'm only helping you all to be sure that Mario doesn't get his ass killed and to rescue the innocents, nothing more and nothing less." while hiding his true feelings and thoughts underneath his prideful ego. Bowser stormed over to the dark cage and grabbed the bars of it tightly with his claws and started to push as hard as he could while Kairi watched on with concern on her face.. Bowser started to grit his teeth and shut his eyes in irritation saying to himself "Come on...BEND DAMN YOU!" as he pushed harder. "Hey! Those bars aren't going to bend since they're made out of darkness!" IF pointed out with a serious look in her eyes as Bowser groaned and let off of the bars asking "Well how do we break the cage then without hurting them?". "Well, looks like we'll just have to beat that four-armed ******* down" IF shouted as she, Compa, and now Bowser jumped off of the cliff to face Inferno Obitus head on.​

​

Arfoire managed to readjust herself quickly as she was kicked by Aoi. Her red eyes having focused on the new CPU and Candidate that had arrived on the scene before simply shurgging them off like flies and focused back on her target as Luigi jumped back onto his feet. Quickly changing to a copy of Uni's rifile Arfoire immediatly started to fire upon the man in green making him dance with panic on his face. Mario was still looking up at Astral who was seemingly not doing a thing but observing before turning to meet his blue gaze with the containment field that looked to be 25% full. Mario in a quick fit of panic jumped off of the cliff and rushed to Luigi with panic on his face as he said "Sorry about this bro!" before kicking him in the rear sending Luigi flying into the air with Mario jumping after him. Mario quickly grabbed Luigi's legs and started to spin him around as they became a spinning red and green top in the air. Mario quickly threw his brother directly at the containment field with Luigi speeding like a streaking green bullet. Luigi dove at the barrier before smacking into it...and falling over not even making a dent in it. Mario scratched his head in confusion before CFW Trick came up to Luigi and grabbed him his tounge flinging him right back at Mario with disgust as he said "You're bitter!" loudly.​

​

Mario's eyes widened in a state of panic as Luigi crashed into him sending the Bros. flying into the sky...only to stop in midair. Mario and Luigi looked over to see Astral floating in front of Peach with his hands out as they were glowing with a light blue energy. Astral with a deadpan expression moved his hands about which caused Mario and Luigi to move about smacking into one another quickly before Astral sent them both slamming into the ground hard. Crossing its' arms Astral said aloud "You two are nothing.....you are nothing in my destiny and the destiny of all S-Types. All of you here will realize that fact" shortly before it was interrupted by a single voice snarling "Bull...SH!T!". Astral turned around to meet face to face with an angry Peach "Hmm? You dare stand up to me even when you're tied up and these people are losing?". Peach smiled as she said "Of course I do. These people came all the way here just to fight for what they believe in. You might beat them to the ground but you'll never falter their will" "Huh, an interesting thought...but either way those two are finished..now for the rest of you" Astral said as it floated over to the cage that held Fuuka, Tekken, and Kairi. "Originally I was simply going to let you live with an erased mind...but since this plan's gone to hell I'm going to kill all of you"​

​

"Any last words...." Astral said with a low serious tone and a glare in its' red eye as it charged a sphere of dark energy in its' hand. Kairi looked on with concern in her eyes as the lead S-Type charged its' attack. Kairi boldly started to run towards the front of the cage with a new sense of determination. Astral finished charging it's attack and threw the sphere at the cage yelling "Say good night!" as it sped towards the cage in an erratic path. Kairi looked down at the the ground and muttered only one single sentence quietly "I'm not afraid of you...." shortly before Astral was blinded by a flash of white light and heard a slash followed by a loud explosion. The light faded as Astral's eye noticed Kairi standing firm at the front while holding a flowery-looking blade in one of her hands while looking down. The cage was also evaporating as well freeing the three girls. "What...the...HELL!" Astral shouted in sheer shock at the recent developments as it quickly moved out of the way.​

​

Various Tanuki Dogoos-S and Jet Bob-Ombs-S started to fly down towards the oncoming Falcom and CC with the Jet Bobo-Ombs going on a kamikaze blitz towards Falcom and the Tanuki Dogoos-S turning into stone and trying to drop on CC's head while CFW Trick and CFW Brave were approaching them. Pirachu was a bit dazed being unable to answer Linda with CFW Judge charging in with an angry growl towards Yoshi and Kirby. Yoshi and Kirby jumped over the charging ASIC member sending him charging at Linda in blind rage. Kirby blew another breath of icy air and had managed to freeze E. Tempura Wizard in place​

His company plans on using a weapon named KOS-MOS against them. We have to get down to Gadd Science...who knows what else could be going on in Toshima.

"Long story short Chika...Sei is my adopted son" Histoire explained as she got out of the minivan and walked up to the three orcales. Standing near Chika and Kei was the blue-haired Mina who looked like she was trying to remain calm in this situation. Histoire listened in on the conversation and said "Their phones...." quietly to herself wondering about something before she smiled and said "Let's go inside..I'll make you three some tea and we can figure all this out". Mina nodded and quietly lead Chika and Kei into the house with Histoire following behind them.​

Minato and Minako sobered at the mention of a year ago and Persona's. Minako turned a disappointed glare to her brother, "You just couldn't keep quiet, could you? So unlike you, onii-chan." Shaking his head, Minato imitated Yu's typical motion of opening his hand in front of him, "They said they have experience, nee-chan. It would be out of character for me to suddenly spill a secret like this to strangers. The only way they could know...is if they could do it too." Naoto waited anxiously but Minato dropped his hand to his side without so much as a demonstration of power. "Who...or what is Nyx? Both you and Kirijo-san mentioned it," she wasn't letting this one slip by. Any clue at all would be thoroughly analyzed. Minato pointed to his clothes and Evoker lying in a pile next to his bed and motioned for Minako to fetch them as he spoke, "Nyx is the Entity we fought a year ago. If we hadn't...there's be no today. Everyone in Port Island would be Shadows and the world would be destroyed. People like you and I would be dead along with anyone with the Potential." Handing him the gleaming Evoker, Minako picked up his train of explaining, "Our friend, Ryoji, was actually a Shadow called Death. He called himself the Harbinger and...he became Nyx's Avatar to come to this world. We were misled by false information and...other Persona-Users." Minato stepped away from the group, "What we experienced began seven years ago. The Kirijo Group was conducting experiments on twelve Shadows they'd gathered...trying to fuse them into some sort of...weapon. Obviously, they failed and the lab they were using exploded, freeing all twelve Shadows and the incomplete thirteenth...Death. The Shadows went on a rampage through Port Island, killing a lot of people... The Kirijo Group had also created a line of robots designed to kill Shadows called Anti-Shadow Weapons. Our friend, Aigis, is one of them. Aigis was sent out to kill Death...but even incomplete, she couldn't best it." Minako patted her chest, "Our parents were killed when Death and Aigis fought on the bridge. We were left as survivors and witnesses to the battle. Since Aigis couldn't defeat Death...she did the next best thing. Sealed it away inside us. Because we're twins, we shared the burden much better than anyone else could've." Minato gripped his Evoker tightly and lifted it to his temple, "To make a long story short... We had the power of Death within us for seven years...and when we returned to Port Island that power made the twelve Shadows that had broken free become active and started making Lost," Minako quickly jumped in, "Ah, Lost are people who had Apathy Syndrome. They basically didn't do anything. They appear because those special Twelve Shadows drain them for power. They go back to normal once we defeat the Shadow though." Ignoring his sisters need to explain every detail, Minato continued, "We joined SEES, a group of Persona-Users, and defeated every Shadow that appeared on the full moons as well as exploring Tartarus," again, Minako waved her hands frantically, "T-Tartarus no longer exists, but it used to take the place of our school every night during the Dark Hour, which is a time between Midnight and 12:01. It was a really freaky tower where the Shadows lived...and the entry way for Nyx to our world." Inhaling a deep breath, Minato continued, "A group called Strega opposed what we were doing...and they tried to stop us. They injured Aragaki-senpai, tried to kidnap Junpei, and tried to kill us to stop us from stopping Nyx," he exhaled slowly, "I killed them..." Naoto felt a chill run down her spine. This boy was very different from Yu... Minato's gray-blue eyes were cold and his tone flat the longer he spoke, "We couldn't stop Nyx from coming...so we fought it. Ryoji became Nyx's Avatar...and we fought at the top of Tartarus." Recognizing the painful memory, Minako gnawed on her bottom lip, "Even after defeating Nyx...we couldn't stop the End from coming.......... We were being crushed..." "With the power of the Universe Arcana granted to us by our friends, we entered Nyx's true body and attacked its heart. By using that power, we gave our souls to end Nyx's arrival and sealed it behind a large door." Naoto's eyes widened, "So that's what the report meant...the truth behind your coma wasn't because of the strain. You both had lost your souls but your bodies remained here, waiting... To explain that much...I have many more questions." Self-resentment flooded off Minato as he lowered the Evoker, "If you want to know what happened after that, I suggest you ask Mitsuru. We can't remember anything after that. And I'd rather not remember my last days before we fell asleep. How pathetic...even explaining and I still feel like such a fool." Hesitant to reach out to her brother, Minako withdrew away from Teddie, "Onii-chan...if we had done nothing those Shadows would've turned everyone into Lost and the world would've ended anyway. And--" "That's not what I'm talking about!" His sudden outburst shocked Minako silent. "I should've killed Takaya and Jin myself! They didn't deserve the time we gave them! Letting the Shadows devour them...don't joke with me! I should've seen...I should've noticed that it felt weird. I--" A loud slap echoed through the room. Minako had advanced the three steps separating her from her brother and slapped him hard, "You're talking about Ikutsuki-san." "Don't say that name--" "I'll say it if I want! Nobody could see through his smile...his helpful advice...nobody. We were betrayed, Minato. Accept it already. Senpai overcame it...why can't you?" He flinched, touching his warm cheek, mumbling, "I took out my frustration on Takaya...because he was wrong...just like Ikutsuki-san and I still couldn't make him see how he was wrong." Minako smiled at him and turned to the group, "We've all got our baggage. Is there anything else you wanted to ask?"

Toshima:

Magic's head snapped to one side, but she didn't move. Turning back with a wide smile, she sliced at Clair, "You wanna die along with the CPU?! All those who go against our Goddess will be cut to ribbons!" Slashing again at Clair to remove her from her way, Magic performed the most accurate 7 shaped evade anyone could and launched herself at Aoi, "Don't mock our Goddess!" She slashed at him in an intricate combo that would keep him backing up to avoid most of the quicker cuts she made.

Free, Tekken and Fuuka cringed. Tekken took up a defensive position in front of Fuuka's Persona, "D-Don't worry, I'll protect you." Fuuka concentrated harder, extending Lucia's mental reach.

"Those things coming at you will explode, don't defend...dodge. Their flight pattern is always heading straight for you, try not to remain in the same spot for too long." Falcom nodded to the voice echoing around her and kept her eyes on the swarming Jet Bom-Ombs as she zig-zaged around to avoid any of them exploding on her. Cybercon sidestepped one falling Dogoo, "Whoa! Falling stones. That's dangerous." She lifted a dagger to break through another falling Dogoo when Falcom shouted at her, "Don't waste your energy on attacking those things. There's a lot of them. We should worry about those two bigger guys heading straight for us."

Linda's eyes widened at the charging Judge and waved her hands in front of her face, "W-Wait, Judge, you idiot! Watch where you're going!" Grabbing Pirachu, Linda jumped to the side to avoid being crushed by the charging Judge.

Bobbing along, a little girl with twin pigtails riding a...yellow round ball with an upside-down face on it bounced next to Marvy, "Oh...you're here too, nyu." Above, on a rubbled cliff that once was a piece of a building stood the very same man in black that had once swore to meet Minato Arisato again. He chuckled at the sight of the fight, "Dogs fighting over something that doesn't even concern Toshima." The little girl turned her head up, cat ears wiggling as she moved her head, "You also don't listen when people talk, do you, nyu." He looked down at her with a blank red stare, tapping the hilt of the long katana at his side with his fingers, "I listen, Neko. I just don't care what you think. Unless you want me to crush the life out of you." She rolled her eyes, both her and the yellow round thing she was sitting on made a face at him, "You suck at communication too, nyu."

CPU Residence:

Virus and Sei followed Histoire, Mina, Chika ad Kei inside. Virus watched the pair of oddball women sit and once again begin arguing. Sitting idly beside Histoire, Sei clutched his hands together on the table. He seemed to be entirely focused on something other than the conversation.

Tokyo Streets: Cleanup~

Madara and his troops finished their sweep and cast down the rioters that remained after a majority of them fled. He stood in front of a kneeling man, a former leader of the rioters. "Who gave you permission to riot in my city...in my country? Who?" The man spit a gob of blood at his feet and Madara kicked him in his throat, "Not the answer I wanted. Execute him... Izuna, would you contact Captain Levi and inform him we're pulling out. The riots have ended...the military is impeding on the nation's peace now. We'll keep the events private from the Prime Minister for now. We don't need to bother her with more headaches." Izuna nodded, he wouldn't go against his brother, and moved to find Captain Levi.

-Toshima-

While fighting with the others against the S-Types, James and Nala proved that they were skilled fighters and no pushovers when they obtained their weapons. Despite acting childish earlier, James showed that he could wield the Power Ax with strength and could focus his attacks while Nala wielded and attacked with her Power Daggers as if she was a actual saber-tooth tiger. Kengo hid with Philip's unconscious body and had the suitcase computer open, he spoke to Dante through the headset, "Dante, just give me the word and I'll send the Powerdizer your way." "Thanks, kid, but I want to kick some S-Type butt before I rely on that thing." Dante said, swinging the Power Sword to attack some S-Types.

"Onii-chan!!!!!!!" Clair shouted, shutting her eyes that were watering and turning her head away from her brother's fate. However, a figure appeared and protected Aoi, wielding a trident. Clair gasped as she noticed the white haired, dark dressed, and red winged girl who was defending, it was Gris, CPU Grey Heart. She spoke to Aoi without looking at him, "You alright, Blue Heart?" "Oi, Blue Heart, you owe me for saving your butt like this!" Another voice shouted, Clair looked at the violet haired girl who appeared. It was Violette, CPU Violet Heart, she just gave a peace sign and turned her attention to CFW Magic.



-Hospital-

"Mina-chan........" Teddie said, looking at her with teary sad eyes. Grabbing her hands, Teddie held them and looked at her, saying, "Mina-chan, please don't think of me overwise. But........ I was once a Shadow myself, until human emotions grew inside and made me like this. Now, I'm like a human with a Persona of my own." He smiled at her.



-Detective Agency-

Hermione sat in the main room of the agency, wondering what to do and looked at the Stag Phone. Sh wondered what to do, she wanted to see how they were doing but she agreed not to call them unless it was important and she sighed, sitting in one of the chairs and examining the Gaia Memory for the Stage Phone. Hermione suddenly felt creative and began to work on something.



-Ryoji's room-

Ryoji sneezed and wondered who was talking about him, looking around before shrugging and continued to finish his unpacking.

 

~Toshima~​

A heated battle was taking place in Toshima, and it wasn't showing signs of letting up soon. S-Types of varying strengths and forms littered the area, as well as other powerful characters of varying abilities.
Luckily, help was on the way from a mach-speed source and a more angelic source.

Spoiler

Entering the fray faster than anyone there could see was Sonic the Hedgehog, who spin-dashed into battle and struck down two of the weaker S-Types before uncurling himself, revealing his full blue hedgehog form.
"So this is what all the commotion's about, huh? Hope you guys don't mind if I join in the fun. I could use some exercise." The blue hedgehog said, stretching his legs.
Unbeknownst to Sonic, an S-Type was charging him from behind, ready to attack.
But just as the S-Type was about to strike, a bright arrow flew down from the sky and struck the S-Type down, saving Sonic.
"What the-"
"Next time, try to cut down on the gloating."

Spoiler

Pit, the captain of the Goddess Palutena's royal guard, was flying in midair with his Bow in hand.
After saving Sonic's behind, Pit noticed that the two he was ordered to follow - Mario and Luigi - were out cold.
"Oh no! I lose sight of them for a bit and find them like this...Lady Palutena's gonna kill me..." Pit said before landing, splitting his bow into two single-hand blades.
He turned towards Arfoire.
"I've heard of you, Arfoire. The misdeeds you've committed are not befitting to one who holds the title of "Goddess"! As Captain of the Goddess Palutena's Royal Guard, I hereby place you under Divine Arrest!"
Just then, Sonic approached Pit, standing at his side.
"Dude, I've been here for two minutes and I can tell you already, none o' these freaks are gonna listen to stuff."
Pit was silent for a moment, realizing what Sonic said was true.
A small smile grew on Pit's face.
"Heh, alright. In that case..."
Pit then dismissed his Bow, switching it out for a weapon known as the Viper Blade.
"Time to show this witch why I'm Lady Palutena's captain!"
Pit then charged at Arfoire, ready to strike with the Viper Blade.
Meanwhile, Sonic took notice of the Jet Bob-Ombs and Stone Tanuki Dogoos that were falling around and chasing Falcom and C.C..
"To the rescue!" Sonic said to himself before curling into a Spin Dash, charging it up, and speeding over to the girls, where he jumped into the air and performed a chain of homing attacks on the Jet Bob-Ombs, causing his targets to explode on impact and leaving Sonic generally unharmed.
Sonic landed on his feet, turning toward the girls.
"Pardon me, ladies, but you looked like you could use a hand." Sonic said sarcastically before noticing CFW Trick and CFW Brave approaching.
"Well well, aren't those two 'frightening'. If you two don't mind, I think I'll lend a hand with them, too." Sonic said, ready for a real fight to start.
