As Tenshi continued to leisurely hover towards the skirmish in the sky, hoping to get maybe just a little taste of the action, the yellow and green things began to shoot off one way, as the machine rocketed towards the other. "Wait, wha!?" she cried, turning her head towards Neo, then the Kirbys, then Neo again. "W-Wait! Get back here!" Tenshi shouted in a vain attempt to catch either of their attention, her voice muffled by the robot's engines.
Clenching a fist, she began to chase after the shiny one, but it was only a few moments before she realized the metal beast was far too fast for her to catch up. No time to think; her battle was going to escape. She grit her teeth and raised her hand into the air, summoning the Sword of Hisou and hurling it straight into the ocean. The waters below grew violent, as a gigantic wall of stone pillars rose of the blue, surrounding both Neo and Tenshi in a circular arena above the ocean. "Oh, no.. you are NOT getting away that easy!" the blue-haired celestial roared, the sword of scarlet perception reappearing within her grasp. "Now, come! Entertain me!"

[Shizuru and Natsuki. ..Fuka Gakuen. ..towards dorms..Japan. ..Nighttime. ]

"So Shizuru? " Natsuki asked. "What caused that explosion ...and where were you?"

"Natsuki no questions yet please." Shizuru said calmly. "Once we get inside." Soon Natsuki arrived at their dorm.

[Ruby...Vale...Afternoon]
"A shooting star. .wait it crashed into the ground. " Ruby headed towards where the star landed.

[Kogoro, A bar in Japan, Early Morning]

Kogoro's eyes slowly opened. "Hey, get up buddy. You've been here all night, you need to step out more. Unlike you, I actually need rest. Go home." The bar owner said, tapping his foot impatiently. Kogoro grumbled a bit, rubbing his eyes. He stood up, and left the bar. "Ugh, I must have gotten hammered last night. It was a mess back there. It'd be too far to walk to the mansion.." Kogoro passed by a TV shop, a small group was watching them intensely. Kogoro walked up to them. "What's goin' on?" Kogoro asked a Teenage boy. "Oh, man. Apparently some robots or somethin' were up on this Academy last night. That's the claim anyway. Nobody knows why they were there, honestly. Things have been weird since the Merge way back when, ya know?" Kogoro nodded, watching the broadcast. "What was the name of the Academy?" he asked. "Oh, uh..Fuka..Fuuka Gauken, yeah that's it. One of the unnative, merged places." Kogoro silently walked away. "Well...guess I ougha check it out. Work, work work.." Kogiro trailed back to his unkempt office. He armed himself, and cleaned himself up. He had the address. He decided to go ask a few questions, maybe track these "robots" down. "It's too early, can't call Mii for help.." he muttered, getting in a taxi to the Academy.

[Red, Castelia City, Late at Night]

Unova was certainly different from Kanto. Castelia City was huge, and there were plenty of places to explore. Currently, he was watching a Gym Battle from the sidelines. It was always interesting, seeing what up and coming Trainers brought to the plate. Red sat back, thoroughly enjoying the spectacle. Pikachu seemed to be enjoying it equally as well.

[Location: World Crossers Guild, Okimara, Japan | Time of Day: Early Morning.]

BGM: Puppet Smile

"Oh! It's good to see everyone up and ready to go on a mission!" said Shuren cheerfully and dancing over the table of the main lobby, the other members, were not that excited, since they woke up early. "My ass! Why the hell did you wake up everyone this early? Why did you sound a friggin horn on our ears?" Ragna complained. "You could just have awakened us the normal way..." said Silvy holding her head. "My ears are still ringing..." said Kail, still hearing the sound of the horn, looking like a mix of a Car, Train, Truck and Fire Dept sounds. "Morning everyone!" said Thomas entering the guild. "Oh yeah, i forgot one of us lives elsewhere...." said Ragna with his usual ugly ass face. "The hell? Why are you here so early?" Kail screamed. "Well, i always awake early for my Shura trainning, it helps me wake up, i got a phone call from Shuren and came running to here." said Thomas doing squats ((Please, ignore my obssesion with squats.)) Suddenly, Shuren was hit with the blunt side of Serena's sword. "Never do that again..." she said with her usual emotionless look. "O-okay, sorry..." said Shuren in apology. "Anyway, breakfeast is ready guys! Hurry before Izuko wakes and eat it all!" said Main coming from the kitchen with a pink approng, everyone looked at him weird. "What?" He asked.

[Location: Guild's Cafeteria | Time of Day: Early Morning.]

BGM: Lamb Chop

"So, why the hell we had to wake up so early?" Ragna asked again while munching a toast, while wondering if Main used his fire powers to cook. "Sorry for not saying it earlier, but when reading through some emails yesterday night, i found a peculiar message." said Shuren. "Is it a mission? We didn't have one in ages." said Friday. "Actually Friday, we didn't had any mission the whole week." said Rosa. "Does it matter? Things are kinda boring lately." said Kail facedesking of boredom. "Shall i continue? Good. Anyway, despite the lack of requests lately, this message picked my curiosity because of this!" said Shuren pulling a paper.

BGM: Makou Reactor

It had the Shinra Eletric Power Company emblem on it. "Huh? What's so interesting in that?" Ragna asked, he was the most recent member of the guild, so he didn't knew what the simbol meant. "Don't you know? That's the company that is famous for its uses on Mako Energy, it's powerful army, The SOLDIER members, and it's researches on the planet, along with many other sutff." said Silvy. "I see, so why so an powerful organization is asking help from outsiders like us?" Ragna asked, everyone had the same question, but Ragna asked first. "Well, since the company doesn't operate outside the Gaia country, it's requesting outside help to catch two samples that escaped them." said Shuren folding the paper. "Samples? As in, Genetic experiments going wrong?" Thomas asked crossing his arms. "Something like that, they are extremely dangerous and should be contained the quickest as possible." said Shuren. "Great, they do the screw up and we have to do their dirty work?" Kail complained. "Now now, i bet nobody wants to do this mission..." Shuren was right. "But i recieved another mail from an anonymous." she said pulling another paper, of course, this picked everyone's interest. "All right, i'm going to read."

BGM: The Gloomy Mansion

"Hi people from the Guild.
You probably recieved a Mail from Shinra telling you to capture two samples. Don't listen to them, those 'samples' they were talking about are two surviving people of the Nibelhein incident, they where captured and experimented with Mako for four years, and now are on the run from them, and more, they worked for said organization. I'm risking myself sending this mail because the group we are working from are currently are on the run from Shinra too. So don't trust Shira, and please, save those two, it's all i'm asking, i don't have any money, i don't know how to pay you, but i would thank you guys deeply if you rescue Zack and Cloud.
That's all, i hope you do this little favor for me, it's undestandable if you don't."

"What? No money?" said Kail slumping on his chair. "Oy, you worried about money when we should mobilize ourselfes to rescue those two?" Main complained. "It's not it, remember me, Rosa, Thomas and Shuren are still on school." said Kail. "But, you're still going right?" Rosa asked. "Of course, i'm not that heartless." said Kail getting up.

BGM: To be continued

"It's decided then, your mission is: Rescue Shinra escaped samples, any objections?" Shuren asked. "Nope, not at all." said Silvy as the members got up from their chairs. "Ash is waiting everyone outside, i sent him on recon, he'll have more information to give to you." said Shuren as she folded the letter. "That explains why he isn't here, is Lyzer coming as well?" Friday asked. "Nope, she's doing some repairs on Bloodia and she couldn't come, and Professor Shirakawa is travelling the world, so he won't be able to come either." said Shuren. "All right then, let's get this shit over with." said Ragna as the members, sans Shuren and Main, left the cafeteria, the girl then looked at the letter once again, wondering who sent it to her. "Good luck, everyone." said Shuren, wishing her dear Hunters and friends a good mission.

[Saito & Aege - High Above the Pacific Ocean - Late Morning]

As their getaway was almost complete, the sudden creation of stone pillars being lifted into the high skies from the ocean nearly had Saito yelp in shock. Was that the doing of that lady who just happened to be in the air too? "Alright...er, let's get out of here before we're dead meat!" Saito suddenly said as he began to fly in the direction towards Japan. Aege didn't have much to say, but for a moment, he was quite interested by the fighting that would soon begin between Neo and Tenshi. However, he also thought it was a waste of time to even stay for, so he only decided it would be best for Saito to fly them towards Japan, to where they would start to see land to finally go towards.

[Kirby & Quote - Vale - Afternoon]

It wasn't until Quote realized that Kirby had been knocked out from the crash, and he groaned a bit that he actually let out his frustrations to an unconscious Kirby. "Well...I gotta go..." Quote said, with the thought of abandoning Kirby here until he saw that two people of this area had noticed them. Damn, right when he would make an escape too, now this was a lot harder to leave Kirby here. Then again...these two were girls......perfect! Quote always knew he had the greatest kind of cuteness levels to sway girls to his direction, so this wasn't going to be so hard. As Ruby and Penny would get close, Quote had already started his act, letting out fake tears as he was pretending to be a crying child with a sad-eyed puppy dog face that no one could say no to.

[Penny - Vale - Afternoon]

As she and Penny got close, the first thing she saw was a crying blue puffball and an unconscious pink puffball. Maybe these two were involved with that crash of the shooting star. She walked up to the blue one, and asked,"Is everything alright?"

[Ruby....Vale....afternoon. ]

Ruby was a bit startled by Quote. "Penny what is it..looks like a puffball." When Quote cried she looked at him. "Hey what's wrong.." She said gently.

[Edward Elric ~ Resembool ~ Noon]

Edward was fighting Colonel Roy Mustang, and he was beating him badly. Edward fell on the ground. "Al Switch!"
Alphonse Elric helped Edward. He pushed Roy Mustang all the way to his limit. "Al, take a break I got this!" A small sword came out of Edward's arm. He began to attack him until Roy fell on the floor. Edward withdrew his sword, and inserted it back into his hand.
1 Hour Later

Edward kept walking around town and decided to leave town, and explore what the world had to give him. He walked to his house, packed his things and left a note for Al to see. He got on a plane with his ticket and traveled to Japan.

[Natsuki and Shizuru. ...Fuka Gakuen dorm..Japan. .Morning]

After hearing about the attack from Shizuru the previous night and how she made some sort of contract with someone named Lancer Natsuki slept uneasily.

Shizuru was up and making tea. She would introduce Natsuki to Lancer once she woke up.

Dark Elsa said
[Ruby....Vale....afternoon. ]Ruby was a bit startled by Quote. "Penny what is it..looks like a puffball." When Quote cried she looked at him. "Hey what's wrong.." She said gently.

[Penny / Kirby / Quote - Vale - Afternoon]

"I don't know. Maybe it is a part of that merge that happened some time ago," Penny said, thinking that it was involved with whatever happened 14 years ago.

Hehehh...now I got them... Quote thought as his fake crying tactic was working. "It's....it's terrible!....our Warp Star....it's gone! And now....now we can't go back home! *sobs* Even my friend....he doesn't look that good...." Quote cried out in the most realistic way possible, he was sure to keep them as helpers for now. It also helped with the fact that Kirby was knocked out, make it as believable as possible.

[Ruby..Vale...Afternoon.]

"Merger?" Ruby asked not familiar with the concept or the fact she had zoned out in her history class. She listened to Quotes tale and thought .

[MIYU. ..Fuka Gakuen ...Japan. ..Morning. ]

The aftermath of the incident the night before was in her sight. MIYU jumped from the school roof and headed over to the ruins of the Directors Office. She began to examine the destruction. "So the power that cursed the Hime still remains....I also sence a unknown energy was used here. Lord Kokuyu ' s power will only draw more attention." She analyzed all aspects of the place deciding that the energy would still florish.

[Location: World Crossers Guild Entrance, Okimara, Japan | Time of Day: Early Morning]

BGM: Explorator

As Ragna,Silvy,Thomas, Kail, Rosa and Friday left the guild, they met with the Lonely Young Knight, Ash F. Abenstein. "So...does everyone undertand the mission so far?" he asked, everyone nodded. "Good, i explored Okimara, and it's full of Shirna Infantry, some 2nd and 3rd Class SOLDIERS as well, there are not civilians outdoors, probably because of a order from the Mayor to stay indoors, since he doesn't want innocent people to get involved on the pursuit." said Ash. "He probably got that E-mail from Shinra too, if he issued such an order to civilians, but, we are not exactly civilians." said Silvy, after all, the guild accepted request from the whole planet. "But, if we fight Shinra, it's pretty much the same as waging war against them." said Friday. "Don't worry, at the moment, the Turks are not working for Shinra, thus, they'll be not observing what happens in this city, and the Mayor said to me that he'll cover up the events with his own version." said Ash. "Tipical....Politicians have a monstrous skills in lieing." said Kail. "We'll split into two groups, Ragna, you be working with Silvy, Thomas, you go with Kail and Rosa." said Ash. "What about you?" Rosa asked. "I have to make sure no Infantry escape this place, so i'll stay on the sidelines." said Ash. "Good, guys, we have advantage since this city is our terrain, let's start operation: Rescuing betrayed guys!" said Silvy, everyone looked at her. "Have i mentioned that you suck in making names?" said Kail leaving with Rosa and Thomas. "W-well...." Silvy stuttered. "It's not time to stand here all day, let's go!" said Ragna leaving. "Ah, wait!" Silvy screamed as she followed Ragna.

[Location: Okimara Streets, Japan | Time of Day: Early Morning]

"The hell? Where are the civillians?" said Zack peeking the street from the back alley, even if it's early, there was supposed to be the Early-Bird type of people, but all he saw was Shinra Infrantry and some Helicopters. "Guess they couldn't hide my whereabouts forever." said Zack frustrated. "Well, i'm an easy target in this place, and Cloud might get caught in the crossfire, so what reamins to do now is fight..." said Zack picking the Buster Sword, with a feeling that he only delayed the inevitable, once he left the Alley, the Shinra Army saw him, and took aim. "Boy oh Boy...The Price of Freedom is steep." said Zack with his hands in his hips, then he grabbed his sword, and held in front of him. "Embrace your Dreams....and whatever happens, Protect your honor as a SOLDIER!" he said, now taking a battle stance. "Alright, if you want a piece of me right? Bring it on!" he declared, lunging at the Shinra Army.

Even being a 1st Class SOLDIER, the odds where against him, the inumerous Shinra Troops would overwhelm him, no matter how many potions, healing magic, ether to recharge himself, even the Digital Mind Wave he had would refuse to work, the battle would ultimately in his death...

BGM: Rebellion

Would...but, a certain Grimm Reaper, accompanied by a Garnet Sword, wouldn't let that happen, so, in the same second Zack lunged at the Army, a Huge wave of Seithr engulfed some of the Infantry. "I-it's the Death God! (Shinigami da!)" declared one of the mooks soldiers. Ragna was known worldwide as the Grimm Reaper, having attained the highest bounty in the world by destroying NOL bases, and being the one that possess the Azure Grimoire, a powerful and misterious artifact that granted him great strenght. He was captured by the Guild, and to repent for his crimes, would have to help the world instead of destroying it...well that's the cover up story, the Guild is protecting Ragna from the NOL and aiding him in his battle against Yuuki Terumi, but enough of that, let's go back to Zack. "What....just happened..." Zack stared in surprise, looking at his right, he saw a tall man with white spiky hair, wearing a red coat and carrying a massive slab of metal that he calls a sword. And a girl who is smaller than the Red Coated man, but having a beautiful crimson red hair and green eyes. "Hey, hands off him, he's ours." declared Ragna, they had to act as if they accepted Shinra's request...by 'stealing' their kill. "What? do you know who you're talking to?" said one of the Shinra Soldiers. "I do, and i don't give a crap." said Ragna, taking a battle stance similar to Zack. "What the hell? What's going on?" Zack didn't knew if he wanted to trust those two, and to fear. "So yeah, it's simple, or you'll leave him alone, or you'll have to pass through us first, we really need the money, and we are bored." said Silvy with her acting. "Alright guys, new target, those two, we'll put them on their place." said one of the Captains of the army. "Heh, just like my 'destroy NOL bases days'." said Ragna, lunging at the Army, with Silvy right behind him.

[Edward Elric ~ Tokyo, Japan ~ Early Morning]

The sound of the Plane landing jolted Edward Awake. He looked out the window. He had finally arrived at his first stop in the map. This was the First time that he would be in Japan, since that Merge. As he stepped off from the Plane, he saw the many different people that surrounded him. He finished registration and walked out the airport. It was time to meet new people.

[Lancer, Fuuka Academy Dormitories, Japan, Morning]

Lancer phased through the door into the dormitory of his master, having returned from doing himself a personal errand the entire night. Having circled the campus of the academy, Lancer had been busy marking his territory to activate demonic defender of the state. Now that was done, however, Lancer could feel the territorial bonus boosting his power.

"Good morning, master." he spoke as he entered. "I have returned."

[Shizuru....dorm. ..Fuka Gakuen]

"Good morning Lancer." Shizuru replied. "Would you care for some tea?" She asked politely. "May I ask where you went?"

[Penny, Quote, & Kirby - Vale - Afternoon]

"We can help you and your friend, right Ruby?" Penny said with a proud tone of voice, thinking that it was fine to help these two puffballs.

That was too easy! Quote thought as he sniffled a bit to clear out the fake tears he had. "T-Thank you..." he stuttered, and then he tried to carry Kirby, who was still unconscious.

[Ruby..Vale...Afternoon. ]

"Um..sure?" Ruby said in reply to Penny. "How do we do that?" However Rubys mind was not on helping Quote but savoring some tasty treats at the bakery.

[Lancer, Fuuka Academy Dormitories, Japan, Morning]

Lancer simply shook his head at the offer of tea. "I thank you for your offer, but I shall decline. And as for your question, I have been establishing my domain under my personal skill defender of the state-"

Lancer then paused and thought for a moment. "Ah," he remembered, "I apologize, I had forgotten you are new to this system. If I may, shall I take the time to explain my abilities?"

[Shizuru....dorm. ...Fuka Gakuen...Japan...Morning]

"More tea for me then.." Shizuru said chucking. When Lancer spoke again she though. "You have abilitys as well?" She asked wanting to know what they were "I suppose you could explain. ."

[Natsuki. ...dorm..Fuka Gakuen..Japan ...Morning. ]

Natsuki shifted in her sleep.

Dark Elsa said
[Ruby..Vale...Afternoon. ]"Um..sure?" Ruby said in reply to Penny. "How do we do that?" However Rubys mind was not on helping Quote but savoring some tasty treats at the bakery.

[Penny, Quote, & Kirby - Vale - Afternoon]

"We can take them to that bakery you had in mind," Penny said with a smile, thinking it was fine to bring the two to the bakery and get something for them to eat. It was really like Penny was focusing to help Quote and Kirby, immediately taking them in as friends. However, her naive thoughts on friends made this all too easy for Quote to fool them. Just to make it easier for him to not have any physical labor, Quote pretended to have trouble picking up the unconscious Kirby.

"I can't...lift him up....a little help...please..." Quote said as he pretended that he couldn't pick up Kirby. It was quite fortunate that Kirby hasn't woken up yet, or else Kirby's hostility towards Quote would ruin this entire setup.

"I can do that," Penny says as she goes over and carries Kirby in her arms as if he were a baby. "Ruby, can we go to the bakery now?" Penny asks her friend with a smile.

[Saito & Aege - Tokyo, Japan - Early Morning]

Soon the two managed to land onto the ground, finally safe to whatever chaos was happening in the Pacific Ocean with that metal figure and that weird lady. "I can't believe it, we're alive!" Saito says in relief that they managed to get out of that situation, practically hugging the ground as if he hasn't seen it in a long time. Aege, with no hesitation, hit Saito in the back of his head. "Ow! What was that for!" Saito rubbed the back of his head, looking at the annoyed but calm blue Kirby next to him. "If I haven't told you to fly out of there, then you would had killed the both of us," Aege said with a blank stare, considering this Saito's "punishment" for almost getting them killed back there. "Besides, we don't know where Kirby and Quote would be now...and we aren't in Dreamland at this point," Aege sighed, seeing that they were now in a place they had no idea on. Out of the four Kirbys, only Aege knew of the whole "merge" that put all of these wild places together in one planet.

"Then we'll just ask for directions!" Saito said, getting a regretful sigh from Aege as that was the very same thing that got them in trouble back with that metal figure. Completely ignoring Aege's dismay for their situation, Saito walks up to the nearest person (Edward) there that was close to an airport.

"'scuse me, but can you help us out? We're lost and need help on figuring out on where we're at," Saito asked Edward as Aege only stood some distance away from the conversation.
