RE: Mario's High School Days

-Short Separation-

Hearing what Tsukasa really thought of teamwork, Kimberly sighed and left the area, demorphing. Though Tommy wanted to follow her so he could comfort her, he and Thomas teleported back to their home to train as not to repeat this mistake. Billy also teleported to work on the new communicators, slowly, the others teleported away. Watching her walk away, Ahim said to herself softly, "Kimberly-san......" "Give her some time to herself, Ahim." Luka said as they teleported away with their companions to their home. Gentaro looked at Kimberly and shouted, "When Kengo and I are done with what we're doing, we'll stop by your apartment to cheer you up, Kimberly-chan!"

Kengo wasn't sure about that, but he and Gentaro teleported to a empty area where they could practice Makoto. Eiji looked at her and sighed, teleporting with James back to Remus' home as Nala and Dante teleported back to their home.



-CPUs-

Clairs stuck out her tonuge at Violette, who just smiled hiding her anger at the Blue Candidate. Meanwhile, Gris thought about that brief moment they had lost their power due to the Shares disappearing suddenly. Suddenly flying back to her home, Gris detransformed and began to look through every book in her office.



-Toshima Street-

Kimberly walked the streets of Toshima, feeling her mind was a wreck as it seemed Tsukasa single-handed destroyed a concept dear to her though she didn't know him that well. Walking toward her was Kazari in his human form, when he looked at her, Kazari recognized her as the Pink Ranger and smiled, seeing his chance. Using his speed, he grabbed her and pushed her against the wall of the building they entered. Kimberly was too scared to talk as she looked at him, Kazari smiled and said, "My, my, don't we have a interesting desire. Perfect for my gift to that bird-brain."

Inserting a cell medal when the desire slot appeared, Kazari smiled as Kimberly ran off, teleporting back to her apartment in fear.



-Detective Agency-

Stretching as she reached the halfway point of the novel, Hermione marked her spot in the novel and looked out the window, hoping that Shotaro and Philip would come back and how Shotaro would like the new sign. She looked at the Stag Phone one more time and sighed, leaning back.



-Abandoned Mansion-

Namine looked at the sketch she had in her sketchbook, which was a image of a person breaking free of some invisible chains and another person watching it, looking lonely. She looked at the sketch after it, but it was still rough that she didn't come any idea of what it was going to be about. Namine sighed and closed her sketchbook for the moment, looking out her window.



-Dante, Vergil, and Nero's Hotel Room-

"Hello~ Anyone home?" Dante asked, looking around the hotel room after he teleported from Toshima. Shrugging with a smile, Dante hung up his coat and tucked away his communicator and Morpher, before laying on the couch and fell asleep, which he smiled that his dream was having Kimberly, Nala, Ahim, and Luka with him while their boyfriends, lovers, or whoever looked on sadly.

 

~Toshima District: Wrap-Up~​

​

Spoiler: BGM

​

​

Yoshi's eyes were in awe at the sheer power that had been unleashed shouting "That was INCREDIBLE! You just taught that Astral creep not to mess with us!" before Kirby asked with confusion "But, how did they even get all that power?" "Who cares! Toshima's safe and we saved everyone." Luigi stood there scratching his head awkwardly before Noire walked over to him with a hesitant look in her glowing eyes. "Listen...I was wrong about what I said. So I want to say..." Noire started before closing her eyes and leaned in kissing Luigi's cheek with a quiet "Thank you" making the taller brother blush lightly. Vert was the next to walk over with a smile and said happily "Noire, that's not how you properly thank him. This is how you do it" shortly before leaning down and kissing Luigi's forhead adding "Thank you my sweet prince" making Luigi blush redder. Facepalming Blanc walked over muttering loudly "Vert, you're talking sh!t out of your ass if you do it like that. Do it with more feeling" before she wrapped her arms around Luigi and kissed him hard on the other cheek making Luigi blush a feverish red looking embaressed. Luigi jumped out of Blanc's arms and said quickly "Look, I know you all want to thank me. But I don't need all of you kissing on me!" as he ducked holding onto his hat embaressed. Mario looked over with a smirk and joked "Hey Luigi. You must be lucky if you have three girls on you!" "Oh shut up Mario!" shortly before Peach walked up and gave Mario a kiss on the cheek smiling as she said "Thank you for saving me...all of you"​

​

Kurenai looked at everyone and said aloud "Well. I have to get home. My sister is waiting for me" shortly before smiling, waving, and blasting off into the sky. IF and Compa climbed out of the bowl and got into IF's car before Compa yelled out with a smile "Hey! Tekken-chan! You, Falcom, Cybercon, and Broccoli should come with us. We would be happy to take you home" while Yoshi and Kirby started to head back to their houses on foot. Noire looked at her siblings with a stern face as she disengaged HDD and said "I'm heading on home. Mom's probably worried sick about all of us" shortly before she climbed up out of the bowl and started heading home at a slow pace. Bowser looked down at Fuuka and said "Yes, I saved your life. Innocent people shouldn't be dragged into battles like this" as he climbed out of the bowl and started walking home. He turned his head towards Mario and said with a smile "Mario, we might have worked together against a common foe...but soon...we will have a fair fight and I won't hold back. Sayonara Mario Brothers" as he walked away. "Okay Pit, let's get you back home" Palutena said within Pit's head before a beam of bright light descended upon him and quickly sent the angel flying upwards.​

​

Kairi looked over and smiled at her friends before she said "Well. I am in a bit of pain...nothing too much. Peach is alright too. Are you guys okay?" while the CPUs started walking home from the battle. Luigi looked over at Mario and asked "Hey Mario, we should probably get going now. I'm getting exhausted from using all that power" just as both brothers reverted to their original forms. Waving at everyone with a smile the two brothers jumped out of the bowl and started to walk back to their house.​

​

"Well, I have noticed that there are quite a few businesses and forefronts that the Crystal Order is using to earn funds for their activities. A majority of their members are also employees at these various fronts and operations while other innocents who work with them have no idea. I do have a list of all of the known members of the Crystal Order...except for their top members. Their information is unknown but it's likely they leading their puppets around in these attacks." The woman explained with a sly smirk as she handed Reiko a list of names and businesses related to the Crystal Order.​

 

~Female Pokemon Trainers' Dorm~

​

Spoiler: Leaf's Team

Leaf calmly placed her hand onto Luna's shoulder, a small smile decorating her face.
"I think you need to stop looking towards others for a while and focus on yourself." she said, trying to put her friend at ease.
"The fact is that you're the one going to be fighting this battle against Selene. What happens in it is going to be down to you and your partners, not what anyone else can tell you. Win or lose, what will really matter is that you gave it everything you have, and didn't back down."

~Unknown Location~

​

A cry echoed through the dark, dank chamber, as a psychic force was thrown out towards the barrier that kept one of Darkrai's captives held firm. Once again the barrier pulsed slightly, before a shockwave erupted from it, sending the user of that psychic force against the hard stone of the opposite wall, before it too knocked the captive away with an electrified barrier.
Each of the four walls that surrounded the captive was the same; lined with electronics that responded to attacks with a surging force that sapped the attacker's power. While it was far from complete, the system already had enough power from the captive Wobbuffet in the neighbouring chamber that even the strongest attacks were being launched back as an untyped attack at not twice, but three times its original power, before the attack was even finished being executed.
There was no way way out for the Psychic-type captive, and she was beginning to realise it.

"I see you still try to resist despite your injuries." a dark voice spoke, as a shadow began to move around the room before the captive's straining eyes.
"I admit that I admire that determination of yours, but it's pointless. This cell was designed specifically for one of your incredible power. I'm not in the habit of allowing my prizes escape so easily."
"I am no trophy." the captive growled weakly, having used most of her strength already in her attempts to escape. "I am my own."
"Those are firm words for one created by the hands of humans." the shadow said, taking the shape of its caster, Darkrai, without leaving the safety of the wall. "I know your story well. You were created by human scientists, experimented on, and finally achieved your freedom, only to be hunted everywhere you went. Yes, nowhere is safe from humans when you set foot there, is it?"
"Leave me alone." the Psychic-type growled, finally lifting herself off of the ground. "You are no human. What interest do you have in me? Let me go and forget you ever saw me."
"I have no intention of releasing you, and I have even less of forgetting." Darkrai retorted, a red glare coming from the shadow now. "But I also don't have any use for you here in a cell. I did not bring you here to simply confine you, but to speak with you. Knowing your distrust and hatred for humans, I thought that we may have a way to come to common ground."
"I have no interest in humans. They have their world, and I should have mine."
"Yes, you should." Darkrai replied, causing the Psychic to open her eyes in mild surprise, though her distrust remained. "But you know that they'll never see it that way as long as they still believe they can control your power for themselves."
"They will never have me."
"Then they'll create another. And most likely, they will subject them to the same torture you've been through. Possibly more, since humans have a terrible habit of learning from their mistakes."
At this, the psychic went silent for a moment.
"There should never have to be another like me." she said finally, after a long pause.
"On that, we agree. Which is why I brought you here to talk."
"...talk then."
"I am, in some ways, similar to you. Like you, I am hated, scorned, pursued by humans wherever I may travel, all because of the power I was borne with. Perhaps knowing that, you will understand why I plan to erase the humans."
"Erase?"
Had the Dark-type legendary been in possession of any kind of mouth, a smile would have doubtlessly come over it. He knew that now he was almost there.
"Tell me... what do you know about the events in Tokyo some seven years ago?"

 

Leaving Toshima:

Tekken lifted up a beaten and bruised Falcom and Cybercon and shuffled into IF's car. Broccoli, however, shook her head, "No thanks, nyu. I didn't come here just because of Kei-san's call, nyu. I came because...I've taken a page out of Marvelous' book, nyu. Shiki-san is dangerous...I'm keeping a careful eye on him, nyu." Belle helped Noire up, nodding along with Broccoli's words, "That power of his was intense...I've never seen a human regenerate so quickly. Broccoli-chan, would you keep me posted on what you find out about him?" Broccoli nodded once, "Yes, Lady Belle, nyu."
Fuuka frowned up at Bowser, "But...I'm not an innocent bystander. My name is Yamagishi Fuuka...I'm..." her head lolled to the side and she passed out.

Tokyo Streets:



Leaning against a wall a man wearing sunglasses and a hat perked up as Noire approached. Pushing off the wall, he lifted a hand to wave to her, "Yo, you're Noire, right? The girl at Shinjuku Restaurant." Glancing down the street, he leaned down to her and lowered his sunglasses. Purple and silver heterochromia eyes coldly watched her reaction, "Name's Kurosaki Ranmaru. I expect you already know who I am so that saves proper introductions. I wanted to talk to you. Do you have somewhere we can talk in private?"

Unknown Location:

Ashinuma took the list, reading it over before chucking it onto the desk, "That's it? That's all the people we could find with connections to the Crystal Order?! You're slipping, Kai." She rubbed her temples, flopping into her chair, "We have no information... Supposition is crap." Pulling on her bangs, she lowered her eyelids, slipping into her mind. 'The Crystal Order...a terrorist group with connections to companies with a broad range of abilities. The S-Types...alien creatures, obviously only here for mass destruction and carnage. We have only about three examples of their kind that have the ability to rationally make decisions. Their hierarchy seems to be based from those who can speak with those who act more like mindless animals as the lesser branches. If we make the jump to connect the Crystal Order with the S-Types...can we assume that those in the Crystal Order would be considered the trunk of this? How far does the darkness go in society...?' Standing, Ashinuma announced, "I want eyes and ears on those on that list. I, Ashinuma Reiko, will find out how far this goes if I have to get involved myself."

Hospital:

Minato chuckled, "Good luck...I don't know what that is, but I'm sure Minako could eat it without trouble. She's like a bottomless pit..." Minako huffed, setting her hands on her hips, "Look who's talking! Mr. I-Can-Eat-100-Burgers-In-One-Sitting!" Naoto frowned, "Uh, maybe I've heard wrong, but...did you say one hundred? H-How much do you two usually eat?" Minato shook his head, pushing his sister into the bathroom with her clothes, "Quite a lot. You could say it's...a side-effect of our ability. The Dark Hour...extended periods of time spent fighting...all of it took a lot of energy that we replenished with food. Sleep became obsolete for a while... Of course, we avoided venturing into Tartarus when any of us were tired or sick from lack of sleep but I can't remember any time that we slept more than necessary." Exiting the bathroom, Minako wore the same school uniform as Minato (cept the girl version). "You don't remember because the Dark Hour only came at Midnght. Remember that time when that typhoon hit? We were soaked and slept for three days straight." Dismissing her argument, Minato waved his hand at her, "That doesn't count. We were sick, Minako. Aigis even told us our fever was incredibly high." Naoto folded her arms, "So this isn't the first time you've been bedridden." He shook his head, "No, but that hardly matters right now. We're good to go...do you three know a place were we can get something quick to eat?"

 

~Hospital~

Yu gave a small chuckled at the relationship between the Arisato's and the 100 burgers, he wouldn't be surprised if there were some people with that capacity to stomach more than their bodies could allow, then again swallowing down the Mega-Beef Bowl was a challenge itself as it took Understanding to accept it as a whole, Knowledge to set the proper pace, Courage to attack the meat in dedication to keep on eating, that was what it was.

"None that come to mind honestly, I don't know anyway that's a good place for a meal." He said thoughtfully, his regular dining areas weren't around, well Aiya's and Junes for that matter, then again, there'd probably be any kind of fast-food restaurant somewhere within Toshima.

~Tsukasa~

Tsukasa walked briskly in his steps as he was heading back, hands in his pockets before finding a rather nice landscape to take a photo of.

~Marvy~

Marvy helped out and stared at the young girl passed girl with a huge turtle. "Good job big turtle!" she complimented Bowser as the girl called herself Fuuka Yamaghishi, it was a name to go by at least. "We should get her somewhere to rest then we'll plan our next move!" She said confidently.

~Tokyo Streets~

A man wearing a rather elegant blue jacket and holding a O-Katana with white hair sleeked back walked rather casually among the streets, ignoring the stares of other civilians, why should he care what they thought about him? "I hope there will be something somewhat entertaining in this city... these humans are so easily interested in the unnatural." the man thought.

 

-Empty Area-

"Hey, you guys! I was wondering when you would show you up!" Makoto said, waving at them as Kengo and Gentaro appeared at the designated area for experimating with the Elce Switch. Kengo said, "Kisaragi and I had something personal to do, and it was quite a ordeal." "Anyway, lets do this, Mako-chan!" Gentaro said, smiling. Nodding, Makoto changed into Sailor Jupiter and Gentaro changed into Kamen Rider Fourze. Fourze inserted the Elec State, which still appeared only on his arm. Jupiter took a breath and began to charge her attack.



-Detective Agency-

Hearing the door open, Hermione smiled and ran to Philip who entered, hugging him. Philip smiled back and hugged her, wrapping his arms around her. "Philip, you're alright. I was so worried about you and Shotaro. Speaking of, where is he?" She asked, looking up at him. Philip thought to himself and said, "He's right behind me, so he'll be here soon."



-Hospital-

Hearing his own stomach growl, Teddie smiled embarrassingly, saying, "I'm getting hungry myself. Well, lets see if there is any place that serves good food. Lets go, Mina-chan!" He ran out of the room, looking for a place.



-Kimberly's Apartment-

Stepping out of the shower, Kimberly sighed and examined, she didn't seem or feel any different. She wondered if she had become a victim to those 'Yummies' that Eiji and Ankh fought on their own. She hoped she could figure what had happened to her and told herself not to explain it to Tommy and Thomas. She dried her hair and waited in her apartment for Kengo and Gentaro.



-Hikari Photo Studio-

Natsumi sat in the lobby of her family photo studio, wondering where Tsukasa had gone and if he at least managed to behave himself in front of his teachers. She sighed, pondering where he received his Driver and Rider cards. Laying her head on the desk, Natsumi listened to her grandfather who was taking a photo of a costumer.



-Dante, Vergil, & Nero's Hotel Room-

Having the card key to the room, Nero came to the hotel after delivering his letter to Kyrie, and found Dante on the couch, asleep and drooling. Though sighing at his usual self, Nero wondered what he came in without a card key, before sitting down and reading a book.



-Abandoned Shop-

Sitting in a old abandoned shop, Kazari sat on a counter and wondered how his new Yummy will do once it matures and comes out.



-Tokyo Cathedral-

The limos for the Dalmasca and Solidor families arrived at the cathedral with Ashe, Vaan, Karin, and Larsa exiting the vehicles. Seeing each other, Larsa smiled and said, "Lady Ashe, I take it that you and Vaan are here for the same purpose as my companion and I." "Yeah, who is your companion, anyway, Larsa?" Vaan asked, looking at Karin. Karin bowed, saying, "Hello, I am Karin Koenig, Larsa's companion and bodyguard." "Here to tell Frollo what you truly think of him?" Larsa asked as he looked at Ashe, who shook her head while Vaan bowed back at Karin and answered, "No, unfortunately, I am here to speak with him about that speech, as a sponsor to the church. I take it is the same for you." Larsa nodded as the four of them walked up to the doors and entered the church.

 

~Tokyo Streets [Mario Bros.]~​

​

​

​

The Mario brothers stared dumbfoundedly at the JIA in front of them with confusion on their faces. "Yeah....we're not going to get in the car with some guy we've never even met before." Mario said as he placed his hands behind his head and looked away from Dan. Luigi scratched his head before pointing out "Mario, he's from the JIA...we better do as he says" "Luigi, I'm not affiliating myself with the government and then suddenly get my butt handed to me because I get connected to Harriet Jones" "Oh brother...don't tell me you're siding with the rioters" "No, I'm actually not siding with them, I am just not siding with the Government" Mario explained pointing a finger in the air. Mario and Luigi started to argue in Italian before switching to Japanese as Luigi pulled Mario into the car.​

​

~Tokyo Streets [Noire]~​

​

​

Noire froze in place as she heard the familiar voice enter her ears and into her brain, her face in sheer shock. Noire shivered in place as she said "Y-yeah, my name is Noire" shortly before her mind started thinking "This is impossible, there is no way that THE Kurosaki Ranmaru would want to talk with a lowly fan like myself." as she stared at the man before her. She brushed her raven hair away from her face and scoffed "No I don't know anywhere private to talk. Infact I don't think you're just an imitator of the musician himself. Either way I don't have time to stop and chat because I need to get back home.". Noire turned her face away from the musician and started to walk away thinking "Good, I'm not going to break down like some crazy fan-girl. I'm especially not going to do it in front of him.". Noire stopped for a moment with sudden realization on her face as she thought "But then again....this could be the only chance I have to speak with him. UGH! No no, I can't lose focus on what I have to do...not even for him." as she looked back at the strange pair of eyes "Well, I guess it wouldn't hurt to talk with him for just a moment". The raven-haired girl turned around and walked back over with a small smile as she said "Alright, let's go down to somewhere private."​

​

​

~Toshima District~​

​

​

​

​

Kairi looked at the phone with a small smile on her face saying quietly "I'm happy she is awake" shortly before looking at Peach and asked "Peach, you want to come with us to see Xion?". Peach nodded with a smile as she said "I don't see why not, sure I'll come along" only for her gaze to look down at the blade in Kairi's hand before asking "What is that thing?". Kairi shrugged and said "I can't really explain it. But when that S-Type tried to kill us...I simply no longer felt afraid. And then I sliced the cage apart" as the two started to walk to Thor's car with Peach looking down mumbling "Huh, I wish I didn't feel helpless..."​

​

​

~Tokyo Streets [Bowser]~​

​

​

Bowser turned his head while holding the unconcious Fuuka before his stern face said to Marvy "We? This isn't your responsibility. Besides all three of us wouldn't fit" as he jumped into the air yelling "Come to me! KOOPA CLOWN CAR!" snapping his fingers. As soon as he snapped his fingers a strange looking hovercar flew onto the scene at Bowser's location with Bowser jumping into it with Fuuka in tow. "Good-bye busty ninja chick!" Bowser shouted shouted aloud before speeding away into the skies of Tokyo.​

​

​

~Palutena's Temple~​

​

​

Palutena seemed to be in a bit of stress with fear and worry shown on her face as she paced the pearl-white floors of the temple. Rubbing her temples Palutena calmly said to herself "Keep it together. So the S-Types are aware that the Gods exist. They are also aware of both Skyworld and the Underworld." before she stepped outside and looked up at the sky quietly with concerned emerald eyes. However her thoughts would be interrupted by a sarcastic voice saying "Poor Professor Palutena, seeing something would stump even her mind." Palutena quickly turned around before gripping her staff in surprise at the visitor before her eyes "You!?"​

​

Spoiler: Enter

​

​

"Now now, you really should be more welcoming to visitors. Didn't they teach you any manners?" Hades said with a rather playful demeanor while Palutena just stared dead-on asking "Didn't they teach you to call before making a visit." "Well, you're in such a delightful mood. Let me guess...your little pitty pat-pat ditched you for another goddess" Hades asked only for Palutena to shout with frustration on her face "NO! Weren't you even paying attention to the battle below with the humans and S-Types!". "Why of course I was, I was even surprised that one of them even knew about my domain. Oh well more souls for me" Hades said as he walked about shrugging off the S-Types. Palutena facepalmed before she said "I didn't call you here for you to joke around" with her face showing a bit of irritation.​

​

​

~Unknown Location~​

​

"Actually, I am not concerned about the Crystal Order as I am about the S-Types. After all...I have a personal history with those acursed entities that I'm not going to ignore." Kai explained as her blue eye started to glow brightly with a dead glare on her face. Kai quickly pressed a few buttons on her keyboard before an image of Metal Sonic 3.0 came up "This is Metal Sonic v3.0, one of the Crystal Order's most frequently deployed field agents". Kai clicked a few buttons before the image zoomed in on 3.0's head with a blinking dot in the middle "Inside this Metal Sonic is a small computerized brain that holds every piece of information that 3.0 knows...including the entire list of Crystal Order members, the location of their base, their plans, and anything else that could be of use to us. What we will need to do is to keep an eye out for Metal 3.0, once we find him we will need to get his brain..or atleast his head intact. We will then bring the chip back and have the scientists analyze the contents of his brain. Simple plan really"​

 

-Abandoned Shop-

​

Siegfried stepped in from the back door, Gram-Zanber being hidden until battle. The blue knight stood nearby. "Our target has been kept hidden for a surprisingly long period in time. Finding him has proven to be quite the task, indeed, especially when you need to keep hidden in this form."​

​

-Gadd Science-​

​

Jack smirked for a brief two seconds before resuming his question. "So what do we owe these shenanigans? Are there new Olympics sports going on?"​

 

~~Female Pokémon Trainers Dorm~~

Luna looked up at the older girl. "So what your saying is do my best, and that success is only gonna come from trying my best?" She looked at Burbear's Pokéball in her hand, then put it on her belt. "You know what, you're right. And if I can't be good at battling, then I'll be the best I can be. And I'll be #1 in the Grand Festival!" Luna took out her badge case. "I already have 4 Ribbons. This one'll be my 5th."

Crys put a hand on her shoulder. "I'm sure you'll do great!"

White fist pumped. "You can do it!"

OOC: Sorry for **** post. My PC Crashed after I just spent the last hour typing, so I had to redo it shittily on my phone.

 

Leaving Hospital:

Minato, Minako, Pharos and the following three of their kohai left the hospital in rather high spirits. Minako prodded Teddie, "You're a Shadow...who became a human...and can use a Persona? I find that very weird." Minato glanced over his shoulder as he walked, "We had Koromaru, who's a dog, use a Persona. You didn't find that weird." She huffed, "Koro-chan had the potential." "Potential?" "Ah, it's...the ability to use a Persona. I thought...everyone who used a Persona had the potential. You...didn't know about it...?" Naoto frowned, her brow furrowing under her hat, "Afraid not. We were all thrown into the TV and faced our Shadows to gain our Persona's. Whether we had the potential, as you call it, we wouldn't have known." Minato gnawed on the inside of his cheek, fiddling with his mp3 player, "Yu...did you hear anything about a pill that Persona-User's took when you were doing your investigation?" Pharos smiled, "They wouldn't have known. Inaba is still a long ways away from Port Island. You don't have to worry, Minato, none of Narukami's friends have been taking that medicine." The Arisato twins sighed, relieved. "Still...I'd like to hear it from your own mouth, Yu. There's a medicine that suppresses a Persona. Have you heard of it?"

​

​

Tokyo Streets:

Ranmaru watched a mass of emotions and thoughts cross Noire's face, even watching her walk a ways away from him. 'Musician...is that all I am to this girl? Ridiculous... Ah, she's coming back...' He laughed through his nose at the expression she wore. Pushing his sunglasses back up to hide the amusement in his eyes, Ranmaru turned on his heel, waving over his shoulder, "Then let's go. There's a pretty low-key coffee shop near here." Fully expecting her to follow him, he kept walking, occasionally looking back over his shoulder, "By-the-way...I'm not just a musician. I'm a professional idol. It's literally my job to make girls like you fall flat on their faces and look stupid. So you can quit acting like you don't give a damn by talking to me." Successful in finding the coffee shop, he opened the door, waiting for Noire to enter first. "I saw what you did before you left the restaurant. That transformation thing. The hell was that, anyway?"

Unknown Location:

Reiko huffed, fixing Kai with her dull gray gaze, "Honestly, if I didn't know better I'd say you weren't looking at the big picture," flicking a hand through the air dismissively, "Not that it matters at this point. I don't have enough information to point any of our agents at and say 'go get 'em'." Her gaze sharpened, focusing on Kai's words, "Keep an eye out for? Are you saying we're not going out there to find this thing immediately?" She turned on her heel, facing towards the door, "Fine... Your orders, Kai?"

Tokyo Streets:

Madara and his army gathered off the main streets and were removing the people who'd been trampled and killed from the riots and Madara's temper when Izuna and Levi returned to the main force. "Broth-- Madara, I've returned with Captain Levi." Madara glared down at Levi's short form with irritated Rinnegan eyes, "Report!" Snapping into a salute that wasn't something Madara taught his troops, but Levi's own, personal, salute with one fist over his heart, calmly spoke, "The riots ended without casualty on other streets. I also bore witness to a massive-scale battle in Toshima, close to the Igra Tournament. Creatures called S-Types were fighting against several people. A few I identified as Kamen Riders and such. I believe they work for the Prime Minister. The rest I didn't recognize, but based on their stature and manner of speech, they appeared to be high school students." Madara's glower intensified, "And the end result?" "Toshima sustained moderate damage, nothing that can't be repaired. The S-Types retreated. The victory going to an obscene display of power from an Italian pair in green and red." Clicking his tongue, Madara shifted his glower to his brother, "Izuna, take the troops back to the garrison. We're finished here. Anything else to report, Captain?" Levi's face didn't change, "Il Re...Igra's notorious champion...was spotted involved in the battle." Izuna looked from Levi to Madara quickly. "Hmph..." Turning away, Madara waved for his men to return to stand-by, releasing Levi from his report. "Return to your station, Captain." "Understood."

 

~Leaving Hospital~

Yu heard about a dog named Koromaru having the ability to use a Persona, somehow, that didn't surprise him as much as it should, after all, he formed a Social Link with a Fox and Teddie was originally a Shadow able to harness a Persona, whose to say animals can't summon them? He heard Minato asking him rather calmly but with a serious underlying tone behind it about some pills used to suppress a Persona and if he heard of it. "First I heard of it honestly, whenever we tried to supress our Shadow Selves by admitting they weren't a part of us, they'd go berserk and kill that person, two people died that way but how could we have known about it from just based off a Channel that airs at Midnight supposedly showing your soul mate." Yu said rather dryly.

"Are you suggesting one of your own took these pills to suppress their other self?" He asked them with a eyebrow raised.

~Narumi Detective Agency~

Shotaro came in after Phillip's words. "What a day." he said and headed for his desk, removing his fedora from his head and got some paper and slid it into a typewriter.

~Tsukasa~

Tsukasa finished his photo shots and headed off for the main city before bumping into a blue coated male with white hair and the man spoke. "Look where you're going." he said and Tsukasa stared him. "I could say the same to you." he said and noticed his appearance looked similar to a certain Red Ranger, but his hair was slicked back and he primarily wore blue and held an O-Katana as opposed to a huge broadsword.

"Dante? No." He corrected himself and the man raised an eyebrow ever so slightly. "I see you know my brother." he said and Tsukasa didn't nod or shrug to the answer. "I do not pity whoever works with him, it's one less thing on my mind."

"That's some family love." Tsukasa said sarcastically and Vergil gave a no reaction to the comment and started walking past him as Tsukasa turned to watch him go by.

~Marvelous and Gokaigers~

Marvelous and the Gokaigers were in a empty construction site, it was decided to use this place as a training ground to get stronger, of course Don kinda protested to this while Joe found it to be a good idea.

~Ankh and Eiji~

Ankh gave a annoyed tick. "It's gone, the Yummy presence, that Kazari is sure a slippery cat." he said annoyingly.

~Kazu Tokua~

Kazu stretched out in his bed, relaxing before pulling his feet over and using a empty desk to bring out his cards and filter through them.

~Haruto Souma~

Haruto sat by a nearby donut shop, waiting his order of plain sugar donuts.

 

~Tokyo Streets [Mario Bros.]~​

​

Mario and Luigi blinked before looking at one another, they looked back at Dan with sheer confusion on their faces. "Actually, we had no idea we could do that. The only thing we knew how to do was naturally jump high. I was the first to tap into it when Mario was trapped by those Yummy things or whatever." "Oh, then that Astral creep had the audacity to capture those girls and capture Peach. But it also beat down our friends like they were flies!" Mario gritted his teeth and balled up his fists with the memory still fresh in his mind. Luigi calmly lowered Mario's fists before he continued. "Yes, that was when that power came rushing back. A raging inferno that had been built up...and Astral was its' unfortunate victim."​

​

~Tokyo Streets [Noire]~​

​

Noire calmly followed Ranmaru and went inside the Coffee Shop. Calmly sitting down at a table Noire sighed calmly before she started to explain. "That transformation thing as you call it is a natural ability of my family. I mean a person like yourself wouldn't understand or believe what I am about to tell you upfront." Closing her eyes amd pursing her mouth in hesitation Noire let instinct take over as she blurted out quietly. "I am a Goddess, a CPU Goddess" Placing her hands on the table Noire continued "My eleven sisters and I have the ability to go into our HDD forms. The power we have is dependant on the faith that people have in us." She then went into a hushed whisper. "We're not allowed by our mother to normally reveal that detail on account of the religious bullshit that Frollo likes to make."​

​

~Unknown Location~​

​

"For now I want you to go on ahead and head back home. Besides if we sent all of our agents out immediatly to hunt down Metal Sonic 3.0, then not only would we end up on a wild goose chase but the Government will be suspicious of our activities and send someone after us." Kai explained as she stood up on the floor with her hand on the desk, a serious glare in her eyes. "And I am not going to have my organization exposed by having all of our field agents after one robotic hedgehog." Starting to walk towards a door labeled "Lab" Kai looked at Reiko and smiled. "We'll meet back here tommorow and plan our next move. So stay safe out there Reiko."​

​

~Crystal Order HQ~​

​

The three S-types and the members of ASIC appeared within one of the corridors at the Crystal Order HQ. CFW Brave had the unconcious CFW Magic on his shoulder. Pirachu was dragging the barely concious Arfoire on his little back. Gray Mann's eyes widened as he noticed the mess in the corridor and walked up to them in shock. "What...WHAT THE HECK HAPPENED!" E. Tempura Wizard bowed quickly and started to explain quickly. "Quickly call the Master, tell him we have a situation down here." Gray noticed Astral's head in the arms of Inferno Obitus and pointed down the hall. "Don't just stand there, get that S-Type and those other things down to Dr. Schadenfreude now!" With quick haste E. Tempura Wizard and Inferno Obitus started to fun down the hall with CFW Brave, CFW Trick, CFW Judge, and Pirachu following behind them. Gray quickly whipped out a slate-gray Iphone and made a phone call. "Sir, this is Gray Mann. Astral Praenunitus is unconcious. We might have a Code White on our hands."​

 

-Empty Area-

When Jupiter's attack headed for him, Fourze decided to charge straight toward the attack and endured the attack by having the rob sticking to absorb the attack. Kengo watched as the suit began to gold while Jupiter tried to break Fourze as she kept attacking and he continued to endure the attack, holding the rod out to absorb the attack.



-Narumi Detective Agency-

While Hermione breathed a sigh of relief, Philip noticed something and grabbed it, which Hermione noticed. Philip smiled, teasing her with the object. He asked, "Why are you getting so nervous?" "I wanted it to be a surprise for you and Shotaro." Hermione said as Philip revealed it to be smaller versions of the GaiaMemories connected to chains likes necklaces. Hermione blushed red, and said, "I wanted them to symbolize our work now that we're working together." Philip smiled and took the Cyclone one, putting it on around his neck. Hermione smiled and took the Joker one to give to Shotaro.



-Leaving the Hopsital-

Teddie smiled, following everyone while finding a place to eat. He recalled every time he had helped everyone on the Investigation Room faced their shadows, including his own. He realized and remembered that Yu didn't face his other self to get his persona. He shrugged and continued to look for a place for food.



-Kimberly's Apartment-

Kimberly grew worried when she saw what looked like white bandages on her arms and tried to hide them for when Kengo and Gentaro came over. She sighed and trying to calm herself by making herself some tea and setting some treats for them.



-Abandoned Shop-

"We needn't worry. My newest creation will be a great help in this mission." Kazari said, smiling as he recalled the host of his newest Yummy and couldn't wait to see Ankh face it as well as any other of the heroes.



-Ankh & Eiji-

Eiji was wondering who was the new host to a Yummy before remembering he promised Ankh some ice-cream and took him to a ice-cream seller. When they reached it, Eiji noticed someone there and smiled, shouting, "Hina-chan!" "Eiji-kun!" Hina smiled, turning to him and handing him to two sticks of ice-cream. Eiji smiled and gave one to Ankh while he began to eat his.



-Tokyo Cathedral-

"Okay. Lady Ashe, let us pray for our families while we wait." Larsa said to Ashe, who nodded and went to a pew to pray, Ashe for her father and Larsa for his father and his brother, Vanye. While they were waiting, Karin asked Vaan, "How did you become engaged to a lady like Ashe?" "I guess you can say we have some things in common. We both lost a loved one to the S-Types." Vaan said, explaining that Ashe was once engaged to a wealthy man named Rasler and died by a attack through the chest by a S-Type while her father and his brother were killed during an ambush attack. He and Ashe met during the funeral and started to be friends while he became her bodyguard, after about six months, he worked up the courage to propose and she accepted. Vaan went to join Ashe for praying for his brother. Karin wondered about what she was told and sighed, sitting behind them and praying for her family.

 

Tokyo Streets:



Minato briefly remembered Strega. "Actually, one of our own does...still. Shinjiro Aragaki." Naoto immediately pulled out a small recording device, "Shinjiro-san is one of yours then." Lifting one eyebrow, Minako eyed the recorder, "What're you recording for? Are we supposed to say something incriminating?" Giving Minako a chilly look, Naoto nodded, "You might. Shinjiro-san was reported to have been shot twice and in a coma and on the day he wakes up...he runs to your old high school. Looking deeper...I found Shinjiro-san was the one who murdered young Ken Amada's mother during the time which you call the Dark Hour." Neither Arisato twin denied her words. Minato stopped in front of a ramen place, "Mind if we eat ramen?" Naoto grabbed his arm, "You're not going to deny it?!" "Why would I? Plus...it was before we arrived on the island. We weren't there to see what happened..." he inhaled the scent of ramen, "Shinjiro can't control his Persona. It was a long time ago...back when it was only Mitsuru, Sanada-senpai and Shinjiro were in SEES. I wouldn't bother blaming Shinjiro about it though... Ken already forgave him." An awkward silence fell over Minato and Naoto even as Pharos placed a hand on her wrist. Jumping from Naoto's shadow, the Osaki Fox landed on her shoulder, bristling and hissing down at Pharos. Both unearthly beings glared at each other until Naoto let go of his arm. "You're allowing a murderer to remain in society." Minato looked at Yu and back to Naoto, "You think it's my choice? Society labeled Amada's mother's death as an accident. Things that happened during the Dark Hour don't exist in the world normal people see. My parents were also killed during the Dark Hour by Death...would you arrest Pharos for something that was beyond his control?" She struggled to respond and Minato pointed to the ramen place, "Now...can we eat? Officer Kurosawa didn't arrest Shinjiro...I'd imagine, since you know what it's like to be attacked by Shadows, that you'd hold a bit of sympathy for our senpai. It's not like he hasn't been beating himself up every day for what happened." Ruffling Pharos' short hair, he pushed Minako and the little boy into the ramen place, "You should really stop digging up the past, Shirogane-san. It's not healthy."

Coffee Shop:



Ranmaru listened to Noire quietly, "Not the weirdest thing I've heard. I wouldn't tell Ai that story of yours. He'd probably want to run tests on you." With her words in mind, he ran out of things to talk about. Scowling, Ranmaru pulled off his sunglasses, "What's a Goddess doing being a fan of an idol? Don't you have your own idols?" Ordering coffee for the both of them, he watched her in silence. 'What the hell... Goddess...? Is she mocking me?'

Unknown Location:

Reiko sighed, 'She's joking...she has to be joking. I realize I have until Friday to return to school...but that train ride is practically five hours long. To come back tomorrow...I'm going to need another rare snack for Atsushi to keep him from following me.' Leaving, Reiko's mind went through the lists of snacks she'd seen recently in Akita for one Atsushi wouldn't have already eaten. She blinked back to reality and found herself at the train station already, "I'm screwed... Spending all that money on a snack..." Depressed, she hung her head as she stepped onto the train to Akita.

Orihara Apartment:



Checking the clock, Izaya nudged Akashi on the floor, "Lulu...it's time. Drop our friend off at the Church." He hopped up, snagging his jacket off the hook and tapped a number into one of his phones, "...Mr. Felix, I'm in need of your services. A dead man seems to have broken my door clear off its hinges. Someone will be there to greet and pay you. I've already sent the address to you, so I'd be grateful if you could have this done before I come home tonight."
Lulu reluctantly picked up the high schooler. He was heavy, but defying an order from Izaya could result in several horrible things happening to Yuna or Wakka and her little one. Leaving Legion inside the apartment and seeing Izaya head off down the street, she walked carrying Akashi to the formerly run-down-now-newly-renovated Church quite a distance away from the cathedral. As far as she knew, Izaya was having troubles finding much out about the Church's Head Priest or any of the other people working there. Was this his way of punishing Akashi...or finding something out about the Church? Lifting red eyes up to the Church, it seemed rather ordinary on the outside. Pushing open the double-doors, she felt an oppressive magical barrier halt her from stepping over the threshold. 'Is this why Izaya doesn't come here? A barrier that prevents those with magic from entering? Or is this barrier for something else?' "Can I help you with something?" Turning on her heel, Lulu's eyes landed on a blond man wearing white. "This child needs a place to rest and I cannot take him home." The man smiled warmly at her and touched a hand to Akashi's forehead, "Is he sick?" "Not that I'm aware of." He pried open one of Akashi's eyes, "He looks pretty healthy...not at all like an orphan should." Akashi's hand shot up, grabbing the man's wrist in a tight grip, "I'm not an orphan." His golden eye glowed vibrantly as he snarled at the priest. Surprise flitted across the man's face before spreading into a smile, "You're still unconscious and you still respond, huh?" Shaking off Akashi's grip, he took the boy from Lulu and smiled at her again, "We'll take care of him until he actually wakes up." He stepped past her and Lulu was reminded of her duty, "Your name?" "Osaki Kaname, Miss Lulu," his brown eyes narrowed as he smiled over his shoulder, "You work for Izaya Orihara. I hope you're not working for him because he's threatening a family member." Lulu ignored the rest of his words and turned back to the street, "Take care of the boy. You wouldn't want his father as the Church's enemy," and quietly left Akashi in Kaname's care.

Spoiler

Tokyo Cathedral:

Spoiler

Quietly entering the cathedral a pale blond man dressed in all white took note of those praying and for a moment seemed conflicted, though the emotion didn't show on his face. Looking around more, he saw Yang, obviously someone who worked with Frollo. He sat, quietly watching those that were praying. It was strange for a priest to incite a riot like that. To the blond, it was plain odd and qualified as something he'd have sent Shino to look into but he didn't exactly have a reason to send the stubborn boy. The cathedral was quiet enough and Yatsufusa hadn't alerted him to the presence of another spirit so it obviously had turned into something he absolutely couldn't send Shino to do.

-Abandoned Shop-​

Sieg didn't say anything to Kazari. He just began thinking to himself. 'As a partner in the mission, I expect you to know how well the yummy will do, Kazari. The Order will not tolerate failure nor will they tolerate treachery.'

 

~Narumi Detective Agency~

Shotaro smiled at Hermione as she given him and he palced it on the desk. "Thank you Mione-chan." He said to her and continued to type into the typewriter about recent events.

~Tokyo Streets~

Yu nodded at the Ramen stand and he explained about Shinjiro Aragaki's predicament and the Dark Hour's cause to label deaths as accidents, at least it wasn't like in the TV World as he walked in with Naoto and Teddie and took a seat, it wasn't Aiya's but it'd do.

"It's like the TV World all over again, the police wouldn't believe such a thing as a hidden hour or anything supernatural." He muttered and sighed. "Besides, if we said any of those things, they'd ask for proof and how could we prove a Persona killing someone, we found it hard to believe the Midnight Channel kills those who we see appear, we're just lucky and being persistent in catching him then he confessed everything to them." he gave a sigh.

"After all, who can take words of a high schooler seriously when something like that happens?" he asked.

~Ankh and Eiji~

Ankh just took his ice cream and munched on it, looking out to the city. "Nothing we can do but wait until the pesky Yummy takes form." he thought in an irritating tone.
