CHAPTER 10: CHASER AND CHASED Part 4A
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The Return
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Halloween effects extend beyond the limits of normal imagination into the realms of the dead.

The afterlife or life after death is a generic term for a continuation of existence after death, typically in a spiritual after world. Deceased persons are usually believed to go to a specific region or plane of existence in this after world, often depending on the type of person they are and the life they lived. Some believe the afterlife includes some form of preparation for the soul to be transferred to another body, a process known as reincarnation. The major views on the afterlife derive from religion, esoteric-ism and metaphysics.

Egyptians believed that being mummified was the only way to have an afterlife. Only if the corpse had been properly embalmed and entombed in a mastaba, could the dead live again in the Fields of Yalu and accompany the Sun on its daily ride. Now the souls of ancient Egyptians live again as living Ka (body doubles) existing in a world of shadows. Those people whose hearts were evil and whose souls were devoured by the demon Ammit live as twisted demons themselves and the protectors now serve as eternal champions of the light.

Those in the mortal world that possess pictures or symbols of these creatures, can summon the Ka into the physical plane to live again or to do there bidding.

The followers of Zoroastrianism believe the dead will be swallowed by terror and purified to live in a perfected material world at the end of time. Now those waiting souls have awaken as incarnation of there own terrors to walk the imperfect altered world.

The gates of the ancient Greeco-Roman underworld have opened for first time in Millennium releasing those Tartarus. Those who existed in the Asphodel Meadows, where the souls of people who lived lives of near equal good and evil rested, can now live on earth again as they did in life. Those who existed in the Elysian Fields, where the good and heroic souls where sent to be forever happy can live as the living gods they once worshiped in life. Those who existed in Tartarus, where the evil and treacherous souls were sent to live out eternity in horrible punishment, are now free as demons.

Sisyphus, craftiest of men, who once tricked death god Thanatos, is no longer cursed to roll a huge boulder up a hill, only to watch it roll down again, and repeat this throughout eternity. He now walks the Earth with supernatural strength and Thanatos' chains around his wrists.

Ixion, one of the mortals invited to dine with the gods was banished to Tartarus to forever roll strapped to a wheel of flames, which represented his burning lust. His crime feeling up Zeus's wife Hera and then later impregnating cloud woman Nephele who was in Hera's form. He now walks the earth to sate his lusts and wielding the fires of the underworld.

Even a soul cast into Phlegethon - "a stream of fire, which coils round the earth and flows into the depths of Tartarus" - were granted power as spirits of flame.

The Norse afterlife is divided into Valhalla (Hall of the Slain), Hel (The Covered Hall), and Niflhel (The Dark). Valhalla is a heaven reserved for those brave warriors who die heroically in battle. They live, die, and live again for battle for all eternity. Hel is a place for people who have neither excelled in that which is good nor excelled in that which is bad can expect to go there after they die and be reunited with their loved ones. Niflhel is the deeper level beneath Hel, and those who break oaths, abduct and rape women, and other vile things will be sent there to be among their kind to suffer some pretty harsh punishments.

The Norse Warriors that walk the Earth now are the eternal warriors of Valhalla and vicious undead raiders of Niflhel. They fight, conquer, fall, and rise again to continue to cycle.

The Reincarnation cycles of Eastern Religions such as Hinduism, Buddhism, and Sikhism has resulted in the creation of those known as Incarnates. The Incarnates are those who possess the combined knowledge, memory, and abilities of there previous incarnations. Those who past incarnations were all or mostly human have become paragons, ideal versions of themselves. Those who contained many animal incarnations have become chimera-like spirits possessing vast supernatural power.

In one small Protestant Church in a small English town, one man runs threw the streets screaming,

"The Dead have Risen!"

----------------------------------------------------------------------
The Forest
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Lord Sesshomaru, Lord of the Western Land, continues to walk threw the strange eternal forest with his servant Jaken and his wards Rin, Kohaku, Princess Sarah Emma Danann of Aes Sídhe, and thief Emily. He now walks with several others next to him.

One is Itachi Uchiha, an S-Class Nukenin (Missing Nin/Criminal Ninja) from Konohagakure no Sato (The Village Hidden in the Leaves). He also possesses the Mangekyou Sharingan (Kaleidoscope Copying Wheel Eye), an evolved doujutsu (eye technique) bloodline that not only allows a person to see and cast genjutsu (illusions), copy taijutsu (fighting/body techniques), and copy ninjutsu (elemental attacks) at a superior level than the normal Uchiha Sharingan , but use the ultimate attacks Amateratsu, Tsukuyomi, and Susanoo.

The Amaterasu - Goddess of the Sun (Heavenly Illumination) Technique is ninjutsu that causes what ever or who ever is in Itachi's line of vision to burn to ash. The black flames themselves burn for for seven days and nights.

Tsukuyomi - God of the Moon (Moon Reader) Technique is a genjutsu that traps his victim in a illusionary world that Itachi controls. Only a second may pass in the real world, but in that time the victim can be tortured for several days.

Susanoo - God of the Sea and Storms is a technique which uses the Mangekyou Sharingan to create a sword wielding spectral form that surrounds the user. When the the specter fully forms, it has a weapon known as Totsuka's Sword and the Sakegari (Sake Cutting) Long Sword. Anyone or anything cut by the blade will be sealed away into a Genjutsu of blissful oblivion until the end of time. The shield worn by Susanoo is known as the Yata's Mirror can defend against any attack. Together the sword and shield will make the Susanoo user nearly invincible.

The young Uchiha as a skilled prodigy of Leaf Village. He graduated the Ninja Academy at age seven and passed the Chuunin Exam at age ten. By age thirteen Itachi had become a captain in the special ANBU squad.

It was during his youth Itachi looked out for his younger brother Sasuke and encouraged him to train and grow. Sasuke looked up to Itachi and saw his brother grow distant over time.

Itachi came under the tutelage of Uchiha Madara, a legendary Uchiha clan member. Madara and his brother were the first to attain the Mangekyou Sharingan . Itachi learned that to obtain Mangekyou, clan members would kill their best friends. Because Mangekyou usage leads to blindness, to avoid the side effect the Mangekyou user could kill their sibling and take their Mangekyou eyes to obtain "Eternal" Mangekyou. This version of the Mangekyou would never lead to blindness. With this in mind, Itachi's view of his clan and their power began to change.

Itachi killed his best friend Shisui for Mangekyou Sharingan. He and Madara killed the entire Uchiha clan in a single night The only survivor was Sasuke, who Itachi tortured with Tsukuyomi. Itachi hoped the massacre would drive Sasuke to his absolute limits and obtain Mangekyou as well, which would then allow Itachi to gain the Eternal Mangekyou.

He joined Madara's Akatsuki Organization after he fled Konoha and helped recruit other S-Class Missing Nins and also proved his power when he defeated the Legendary Sennin Orochimaru when the S-Class Missing Ninja tried to steal his body. Itachi sliced off the snake sennin's arm forcing the man to flee.

In was years later, that the final battle between Sasuke and Itachi occurred. They fought in the ancient Uchiha compound far from Konoha. In the end, Sasuke ran out of chakra battling Susanoo, which released Orochimaru's suppressed soul. After Susanoo sealed Orochimaru away for eternity, Itachi reached to take his brother's eyes only to fall to the ground, dead.

Itachi awoke in this world, completely healed with the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan. He now possesses the power, vision, and immortality granted to founding father Madara .

The Second Companion is Byakuya Kuchiki.

Byakuya is the 28th head of the noble Kuchiki clan, one of the four great noble families in Soul Society. As such, Byakuya acts in an aristocratic manner - he seems always serene and apathetic towards other people, even when he is actually deeply conflicted. He is also extremely calm, even in battle, and is very seldom surprised by even the most drastic of actions.

All traits which have earned him the respect of Lord Sesshomaru.

Byakuya strongly believes in law and order. As the head of one of the great noble families and as a captain in the Gotei 13, he always works hard for a peaceful society. He feels that if someone in his position doesn't follow the rules as a good example, then no one will follow them. He believes that to maintain the order, all law-breakers must be punished, even if that goes against his own wishes. In spite of his icy and regal manner, Byakuya cares for and protects those important to him, even referring to Rukia as his "pride".

The reason he travels with do Lord Sesshomaru is to located other members of Soul Society, esp his sister. He's also curious of Lord Sesshoumaru relationship with his half-human half-brother.

Byakuya's weapon is a Zanpakuto (Soul Cutting Sword) known as Senbonzakura (thousand cherry blossoms). With the Shikai (first release) command "Chire (Scatter)", Senbonzakura's blade separates into thousands of slender blades, too small to see normally, except they reflect light in such a way as to appear as cherry blossom petals Byakuya controls the blades to shred opponents at a distance and break through almost any defense.

The second level, Bankai (Full Release), Senbonzakura Kageyoshi (thousand cherry blossoms' grim scenery) he can produce a much larger version of Senbonzakura's shikai. The sword is dropped to the ground where it disappears and two rows of giant blades rise, then scatter into thousands of blades. Byakuya's bankai has several forms, achieved by arranging the blades in different patterns.

"Senkei (First scene)" which unites the scattered petals into complete swords that form four rows around Byakuya and his opponent. In this form, Byakuya abandons the defense potential of his many blades and concentrates on killing the enemy. After immobilizing an opponent, he can call in the other blades to hit them while they're trapped. He can also use all the blades at once for one immensely powerful strike.

To overwhelm the defense of an opponent, Byakuya can use "Gouki (pivotal scene)". This aligns every blade in a spherical formation around his opponent, which then collapses into them from every possible angle, leaving no blind spots and no chance to escape.

Finally, when Byakuya is weakened, he can use "Senkei (final scene)". This condenses every one of his blades into a single sword, drastically increasing its cutting power. The blade appears bright white and its aura takes the form of a bird, earning it the name "Hakuteiken (white imperial sword)" Byakuya also grows pure white wings and a halo-like circle in the back, both made of spiritual power.

The Third Companion stands six foot one with a thin build, blue eyes, and short brown hair. He wears a long white sleeveless designer coat featuring shoulder pads and a raised studded collar, with black sleeves from his shirt coming out from under. He has extra belts in pairs strapped around his upper arms and shins. On his left arm is a streamlined machine with a round shield (like a buckler) and an arced blade on the outer side with rectangular spaces on the blade and a place on the round machine holding a deck of cards.

His name is Seto Kaiba, the majority shareholder and President of his own multi-national company, KaibaCorp, who aims to become the world's greatest player of the Duel Monsters card game.

At a young age, Kaiba and his younger brother Mokuba were orphaned. Their mother died after Mokuba was born, and their father died in an accident when Seto was eight. Their relatives used up their inheritance and left them at the orphanage. When the former head of KaibaCorp, Gozaburo Kaiba, arrived at the orphanage to perform a publicity stunt, Kaiba saw the chance to challenge him to a game of chess, with Gozaburo forced to adopt Seto and Mokuba should he win. Kaiba won using underhanded methods, but Gozaburo forced Seto into a rigorous accelerated school program, forcing him to study several subjects, including economics, social studies, foreign languages, and game strategy.

On Seto's birthday, he was given a 2% share of KaibaCorp and was told that although he could spend the money any way he wished, he must return one hundred times the amount in one year. Not only did Seto accomplish this feat, but he did so in one day. Six years later, Seto Kaiba took over his step-father's company by gaining the 51% that he needed to be in control. Gozaburo provoked by Seto taking over and becoming CEO, committed suicide by jumping out of his office window, leaving the message that losing means death.

Seto rebuilt Kaibacorp from manufacturing of weapons of mass destruction to gaming equipment. His dream to create a amusement park for Orphans, tho his soul was stained by his cruel actions.

His life changed when while reading Friedrich Nietzsche's Spracha Zarathustra, he overheard that Sugoroku Mutou was in possession of the fourth "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" card.

First, he stole the real card and replaced it with a fake, but he was trapped in illusionary death by his future nemesis Yugi Mutou, or as he later learned Yami Yugi.

Later, he got revenge by destroying Sugoroku Mutou's Blue-Eyes White Dragon card and scaring him so badly he had a heart attack. He tried to kill Yugi using a torture version of amusement park using lethal laser tag with hired professionals (mercenary/SWAT sniper/assassin), a giant game of multi-ton Tetris, electric chairs, a hired serial killer called the Chopman, and even his own brother Mokuba, a champion of Capsule Monsters, who he was willing sacrifice.

The final battle was a Duel Monsters game between Kaiba and Yugi, which Kaiba almost won using the three remaining Blue-Eyes White Dragons he "acquired" from there previous owners. Yugi defeated Kaiba by summoning Exodia, the Forbidden One. Yami Yugi then shattered Seto's mind, destroying the evil piece of his soul, and leaving Kaiba to reassemble the pieces.

When Kaiba awoke in this insane world, he thought he had been sealed in a virus-corrupted Virtual Reality. Now, he searches looking for his lost brother Mokuba and his only weapon is the deck of cards in the KaibaCorp Duel Disk on his arm. He doesn't know his machine has become a modern version of what it was based on, a DiaDhank. An ancient Egyptian artifact resembling a golden device worn similarly to the Duel Disk that uses the user's Ka (life force) to summon Ba (spirit monsters) and control them.

Kaiba also looks for one of his Blue-Eyes White Dragons missing from his deck. The other two legendary Dragons, which take pride in there enormous power. sour high above the endless forest keeping an eye out for danger to there master and more than ready to reduce foes to ash with there white lightning. The power of destruction within there immense forms far exceeds comprehension of most mortals.

The Fourth Companion is a very bishounen man standing 183 cm tall with an athletic build, green eyes, and chin length blond hair. He's dressed a dark green shirt and pants with gloves, bracers, and boots
He moves like an extremely skilled fighters and proves it when fires a chi-based energy projectile into the forest and kills an invisible demon hidden high in the trees.

His name is Adelheid Bernstein, an honorable fighter whose style he calls a comprehensive combat technique that masters all combat arts. He, along with his younger sister, Rose, are the only known children of Rugal Bernstein, a ruthless international arms dealer known in his world as a modern pirate. Unlike his father, he show sportsmanship and a sense honor, which is why the rest let him travel with them looking for his sister Rose.

"Nice shot, Adel."

The Fifth and Final Companion of Lord Seshoumaru is a tall man in his mid twenties with light blue eyes, light skin, and short silver hair. He's dressed in a black silk shirt, black pants, knee high leather boots, and fingerless gloves. He also wears an old fashion teal long coat with red underside and gold buttons. He carries an O-Katana - a katana slightly longer than a regular katana (O meaning great or long in Japanese). These are not to be confused with the great Nodachi, which were significantly longer than katana.

"An inch to left off target."

His name is Vergil, the older of the twin sons of Legendary Dark Knight Sparda and a woman of the twentieth century Eva, and despises his father for pitying the weak humans. His father is famous for single handily defeated an army of devils and his former master The Dark Emperor Mundus to protect the humans, two thousand years ago. Vergil has a lust for power and is willing to disregard anything to obtain the power of his father, Sparda. The dark forged sword at his side is Yamato, a keepsake from his father, and is said to be able to cut through anything.

The last thing he faintly remembers is fighting his brother as Mundus's demonic dark knight Nero Angelo and exploding after his defeat. Next thing he knows, he awakens next to a large acid-blood Devil. He noticed that his powers have increased by a large amount and is currently training and fighting stronger opponents looking to become greater than his father as Lord Seshoumaru did and to find his brother Dante.

Suddenly, they feel a pulse of spiritual energy in front of them.

In front of them is a fourteen year old boy standing five foot three, eighty five pounds with dark brown eyes and long brown hair. He's dressed in blue pants with star-covered belts, odd shaped gauntlets and boots decorated with pentagrams, all covered by a white cloak. He also wears large circular disk earring painted with five-pointed stars.

As his hair floats in wind, the collection of aloof older brothers sense immense spiritual pressure and watches as giant glowing red spirit appears behind the boy, covered in markings with long arms and long antlers. It's not just the building-size spirit that's producing the massive energy, but the teenage boy.

"My name is Hao Asakura and this is my partner The Spirit of Fire."

Jaken, Rin, Kohaku, Princess Sarah Emma Danann of Aes Sídhe, and Emily Isabella Jones stare.

"I'm looking for a boy with a samurai ghost. My twin."

Not another one, the wards think as one.

Yuuko Ichihara's Shop
----------------------------------------------------------------------

A small group has arrived at the shop of Yuuko Icihara. The Dimension Witch glazes at a small glass sphere. It's owner is five-foot-ten with dark eyes, arced eye brows, and mane of blond hair like an 80s rock band. He's dressed in old fashion clothing with a long tattered cape with a curled collar.

"David Bowie?" whispers Kimihiro Watanuki in confusion.

"Nothing exists unless it's perceived by others as existing." says the man, "People saw David Bowie portray me in that work of fiction, so Jareth, the Goblin King, is viewed as he was.".

Yuuko turns the ball in her hands and five figures appear in the depths of the crystal.

The first is a woman with green eyes and chin-length brown hair. She's dressed in a pink and white top that displays her stomach with blue gems and gold lines on the front and a billowing white pants covered by a white skirt with pink and gold belt and sash. She also wears a gold neck ring and pale pink shoes. It's an odd outfit to wear in a red sky world cast in shadows.

The second is girl looking like a younger version of her. She's dressed in a frilly pink and white dress with ribbons in her hair, feathery angel wings, and a long pink staff with a ring head piece with a five-pointed gold star in the center

The third is a boy with short brown hair, a brown eye, and the other covered by an eye patch.He's dressed in a black shirt with loose tan pants with black straps, black boots, and black gloves. The outfit is covered by a hooded dark green cloak with large metal ties near the collar

The fourth is tall, thin man with short blond hair and blue eyes. He's dressed in black clothing with a long white coat and black gloves. He carries a very long gold staff with a huge complex head piece. The end is diamond shaped with a gem in the center and ending in a crescent. The crescent is then extended into two prongs. The prongs have eight feather-shaped pieces on the outer side, which are connected to each other. There is a gem on the prongs below the base of each feather and one in each feather themselves. Between the prongs is an odd blue crystal.

The fifth person is an eleven year old girl with long brown hair. She's dressed in a billowing red dress and stands close to the man with the staff.

Yuuko Ichihara knows each of these people closely, or at least the people they became.

Sakura, the cheerful, selfless, and strong hearted Princess of Clow Country. She possesses a mysterious power, namely her "wings" that can actually change the world. Her wings are the manifestation of her soul, namely her heart and memories. She is targeted by sorcerer Fei Wong for that very power. After losing her memories, Syaoran gave up their relationship in order to save her. Meaning, even if she regains all of her memories, the one that she would never retrieve would be the knowledge of Syaoran's existence.

It's very strange but in this nightmarish, Sakura has her memories of Syaoran.

Sakura Kinomoto is Princess Sakura's analogue from a more modern world. She possesses the ability to sense magic and ghosts, use celestial magic (star magic), and has Prophetic dreams. Her greatest power comes from a pack of fifty-two cards created by Yuuko's friend Clow Reed. Each of those cards can summon a spiritual entity with various effects from creating swords and shields, to manipulating the very elements of nature.

"How many Sakuras are there?" asks Watanuki.

"There are many girls called Sakura." says the Goblin King , "There are three that look alike. Princess Sakura and the young card captor you see are two. The third is an older version of the younger and is currently in Yubaba's Bathhouse in the spirit world."

"The younger Sakura is years younger than when she would have found the Clow Cards, but her magic is almost as strong the older." says Yuuko with an air of mystery, "She's like a daughter and sister to the Princess."

Syaoran, an excellent martial artist and an aspiring archaeologist with extensive knowledge of various languages, histories, and artifacts. This Syaoran is a man who gave his eye and with it half of his heart to his clone, to stop Fei Wong's evil plans. A man whose completely in love with Sakura, but was willing to push those feelings away to help her.

Fay D. Flourite, a laid-back mage from the Country of Celes. He is on the run from King Ashura, whom he put into a near-eternal slumber. Although he seems happy-go-lucky and pretends to know less than he does, there is more to him than meets the eye. Yuuko knows him very well and has even played pranks with him.

The last is exorcist/medium girl Kohane Tsuyuri. She's a close friend of Watanuki, who helped her get the confidence to confront her mother who had been exploiting her spiritual talents.

"Kohane-kun!? What is she doing here??" says Watanuki.

"She was a girl with some spiritual power, who was being exploited by her mother. When the world changed, she like you became someone similar." explains Yuuko deciding to humor him, "It's ironic she was taunted and abused by others because they couldn't sense spirits as she could, but in this world nearly every man, woman, and child can see spirits."

Suddenly, two figures walk in.

The first is a man standing around six foot with brown eyes and short black hair with a beard. He wears a turtleneck sweater and black pants with boots and a long leather jacket. As he stands the white of his eyes glow for a second.

He was a man named Simon Bauer who was born Johannesburg, South Africa, but moved to the states after a traumatic incident. His wife was raped and murdered in front of him, and he was nearly killed after hijacked of his car suddenly grew worse. He was a intellectual genius, but he couldn't handle the emotional stress and he started to develop dissociative identity disorder.

When Halloween occurred, he was inside a museum's Egyptian exhibit listening to some kid make references to a movie called Stargate and the TV series that was made after it. He was transformed into the cunning Goa'uld system lord Ba'al, a member of galaxy-spanning empire controlled by alien parasites attached to human hosts. The one odd thing he has discovered is the Goa'uld symbiote and the host possess the same Ba'al memories, but nothing else leaving the System Lord in control of two bodies.

The other is a woman in her twenties standing five-foot-two with blue eyes and long blonde hair. She's dressed in a white shirt covered by a black jacket with blue jeans and sneakers

She was a teenage journalist from Long Island, New York named Sienna Jessica Hart. She was half dressed as a witch for a big Halloween party when she was transformed into half-mortal, half-witch.Sabrina Spellman. The young journalist had been enjoying time with her boyfriend Harvey Kinkle after the failed near-marriage to music industrialist Aaron, when she found herself in messed up Halloween World.

She has been traveling with Ba'al since he accidentally saved her from a demon using his Zat gun (Zat'n'ktel ), and she later saved his life using a messed up protective spell. They also learned that the naqahdah, a super-heavy metal used in Goa'uld technology and flows threw there veins so they can operate that technology, can also boost the power of Sabrina's spells allowing them to effect large monsters and demons in this bizarre world.

"Greeting, Ba'al. Sabrina."

Sunnyside Church
----------------------------------------------------------------------

"WHAT DO MEAN ANOTHER BUS!?" yells Willow

Ichigo Kurosaki is not an idiot as proven by his fighting skills and his impressive school marks, but he does have a habit of forgetting small things or charging in without thinking.

"I was wondering if you would like to see my bus!?" says Ichigo defensive.

"I thought you came on the same bus as Dawn's ... Raven's friends." says Buffy

"No. Me and Inuyasha have out own bus." says Ichigo, "It's parked near a bowling alley south of the gas bar."

"How many are on the bus?" says Oz, putting his hand on Willow's shoulder to calm her. Rukia's personality seems to be stronger in Ichigo's presence.

"Twenty one, but most of them are children." says Inuyasha

"Children! Whose watching them??" says Janna

"Ehh... Hitsugaya."

"The Captain is here!" yells Willow, throwing Oz off his feet, "How can you forget about these things!?"

"Hey! You try to deal with a bunch of kids day after day with only Hitsugaya and Inuyasha to talk to!"

As Willow/Rukia and Ichigo have a loud conversation, while Oz, Inuyasha, Shiori, and Janna watch, the Glasses group helps Yagamis and Vatican Trio with the twelve church orphans.

Gendo and Crawford hate dealing with small kids, but enjoy the fact they have people to boss around as they did in there own world. They are also annoyed that they have the same level of maturity as the people they use to boss around.

Roberta and Kabuto have more experience with Roberta taking care of Garcia Loveless and the children of influential families during there parents meeting during her four years as the Loveless family maid. Kabuto has been forced to work with younger Genin and even forced to teach several Genin in the Otokagure no Sato (The Village hidden in the Sound) by Lord Orochimaru.

Fuu and Ciel are the most level headed of the group with Fuu's intellectually gift and Ciel's long experience. It allows them to stay calm in the chaos by considering others to be idiots.

Misa goes on about how cute the kids are while Light sweat drops, then he nearly face falls into the ground when Misa makes some hints about having children of there own.

Yumiko Takagi and Heinkel Wolfe stay in the back observing. Every since that time when they helped Father Anderson's orphanage, they avoid getting too close to children. In fact they rather face The Captain and vampire Walter again, then spend another day at that Orphanage.

Sister Rosette Christopher and her brother Joshua lived with many other children at the Seventh Bell Orphanage. As a result she has always had a soft spot for children.

The Twelve Orphans are not the same people they were before Halloween, but unlike the others there transformations have been very gradual and subtle

The first is a young boy standing five foot one with feminine facial features, brown eyes, and long black hair. He's currently dressed in a sleeveless pink robe and a tan sash around his waist, that makes him look even more feminine.

His name is Haku, a shinobi from the same world as Kabuto, from the Mizu no Kuni (Water country) and trained by The Devil of Hidden Mist Zabuza Momochi, one of the infamous Seven Swordsman of Kirigakure no sato (Village of the Hidden Mist).

In his world, rampaging fear and prejudice resulted in Water Country killing all those who possessed Kekkei Genkai (Blood Inheritance Limit), the abilities passed down from parent to child. These genetic inheritances grant the ninja unique abilities and physical traits not found anywhere else in the world. Haku and his mother were born with Hyouton (Ice Release), the ability to manipulate wind and water affinity chakra to create ice based techniques. When his father learned the truth, he and a mob murdered Haku's mother and Haku was forced to kill his father and the mob.

Haku was taken in by Missing Nin Zabuza and trained as Mist Ninja, becoming Zabuza's partner. Haku would have done anything to protect his precious person and finally died protected him on a bridge in Nami no Kuni (Wave Country), taking a lightning charged thrust into chest.

Haku awoke from death in what he thought was hell. He's been hiding his abilities, using ninjutsu and genjutsu to remove threats without attracting attention. Now, that a Shinobi of his world is here, his secret is about to be revealed.

The second is a twelve-year-old Asian girl with chin-length black hair and light green/pale grey eyes.The hundred five pound girl is clearly blind, but she moves around using a cane. She's dressed in dark green shirt with the sleeves ending above the elbows and pants ending just below the knee. Over that she wears a pale-yellow sleeveless coat and dark sash/belt. She also wears green foot wrapping and metal bracers.

Toph Bei Fong is far from being a helpless blind girl. She comes from a world ruled by the four elements with four types of people that can each control one element. Toph Bei Fong was born blind in town of Goaling in the Earth Kingdom, but learned Earth-bending, the terrakinetic ability to control earth despite the fear of her parents.

Earth-benders learned Earth-bending by observing and imitating the geokinetic powers of badger-moles that inhabit the mountains in what is now Earth Kingdom territory. She learned to see the world around her as the blind badger-moles do like a form of ground based sonar. She developed her own style resembling Southern Praying Mantis Kung Fu as opposed to the more common Hung Gar Style and became a famed underground fighter The Blind Bandit. She even became a Metal-bender, manipulating metal by effecting the tiny impurities.

The last thing she remembers was helping the Avatar, the hero of her world, fight the forces of Fire Lord Ozai, leader of the Fire Nation which has been on the path of conquest for a hundred years. She awoke near a church and two loony women talking about a single god and someone named Christ, so she decided to stay low and hide her powers using small tricks to protect herself. She also helps Haku, since he appears (at least by scent and sound) to be a form of water-bender.

Orphan number three is a young boy with blue eyes and long brown hair done in a thick thigh-length braid. He's dressed in a pair of dark, flared jodhpurs (tight-fitting trousers that reach to the ankle, where they end in a snug cuff, and are worn primarily for horseback riding) and a cassock-style shirt with a white turtleneck shirt underneath (giving it the appearance of a clerical collar).

In the year After Colony 187, he was a part of a street gang of orphans, which had to steal to survive on the L2 space colony. He adopted the name "Duo" after the gang leader, Solo, died of a fever. Before he died, Solo said to Duo that he would always be with him, so Duo said, "If Solo's with me, we'll be Duo."

Later on, he and the rest of the gang were taken in by the Maxwell Church. The other children were eventually adopted, but He was adopted by Father Maxwell and Sister Helen, the priest and head nun of the Maxwell Church, respectively. During his time at the church, Duo's hair is first placed in its recognizable braid, and he asserts that he believes not in God, but in a God of Death, as he'd "never seen any miracles, but [he'd] sure seen lots of dead people".

A rebellion occurred on the colony Duo lived on. Rebels claimed the church, and Duo promised to steal a mobile suit - a military weapon resembling a piloted humanoid robot-for them so that they would leave the church alone. He succeeds in capturing a mobile suit, but returns to find the church destroyed, Father Maxwell dead, and Sister Helen alive long enough for her to die in Duo's arms. Following the defeat of the rebellion, which was later named the "Maxwell Church Tragedy" when 245 people were killed in the suppression, Duo took on the surname Maxwell.

He fought many battles from the Leo mobile suits of the oppressive OZ organization to the Serpent suits of the Mariemeia Army. He piloted his own mobile suit known as XXXG-01D Gundam Deathscythe and the upgraded XXXG-01D2 Gundam Deathscythe Hell

He woke in this hellish world with his last memory eating with his close friend Hilde Schbeiker at a Chinese restaurant without even a handgun. He's fairly normal dealing with the Vatican Trio and even told them his history before becoming a Gundam pilot. He also didn't mention that he's a sixteen year old in a twelve-year-old body

The weapon he's currently working on is a double-bladed scythe from scrap since the last one broke during one of his secret patrols. He wishes he had access to electronics so he could created a double-bladed beam scythe

Orphan number four is a twelve year old girl standing four-foot-seven with purple eyes and page cut black hair with purple highlights. She's dressed in a Gothic black dress with white socks and black shoes

Hotaru Tomoe was the Sailor Senshi of Saturn in her world and would have been transformed into a semi-divine youkai like Moon, Mercury, Mars, and Jupiter, if she had been wearing her costume. Instead, the costume was in the young girl's bag having been too embarrassed to wear it, so she was transformed into civilian Hotaru instead of a Goddess of Silence and Destruction

She has always hide her powers being bullied and shunned because of them, so she has only used her limited healing powers in secret not allowing the others to find out. She has faint memories of becoming Sailor Saturn, but some part of her knows the danger is too high.

Orphan number five is a thirteen year old girl standing four foot seven with jade green eyes and short red hair. She looks younger in red and white Chinese clothing with ox horns (buns in her hair).

Her name is Anita King, is the youngest of the Paper Sisters, a group of three sisters each with the power to manipulate paper. She's a spitfire who specializes in using her paper offensively (by throwing index cards like shuriken), but also uses her physical agility as a fighter. She loves frogs, yet ironically dislikes books. The real truth about her existence is what bothers her.

Anita was originally a genetic test subject of the British Library Special Operations Division to be their artificially created Paper-master and the reason she dislikes books is Yomiko Readman's terrorist attack on the British Library traumatized her. In the confusion she was kidnapped by Dokusensha, the British Library's Chinese rival, and brought to Hong Kong. Her sisters were created as replacements when it was revealed, she had a subconscious hatred of books from the sheer terror she felt during Yomiko's attack. When they proved failures like her, they were set up to become a family.

It was years later, when the truth was revealed. Now she has to deal with a strange world not knowing if she's the real Anita, another clone, or something else. She also hasn't used her paper manipulating abilities for three reasons. Her returning phobia, a lack of available paper in the burnt out town, and a fear of Yumie Takagi and Heinkel Wolfe acting like those guys in Salem.

Orphan number six is a ten year old boy standing four foot two, fifty one pounds with brown eyes and spiky black hair. He's dressed in a white under shirt covered by a yellow haori (jacket), and dark green pants with white socks and sandals. He also carries on his back, a long bamboo shinai (a practice weapon used primarily in kendo and is used as if it were a sword.)

Yahiko Myoujin is a samurai descendant. Yahiko's father died during the Battle of Ueno during the Boshin War (1868-1869), slain at the Keneiji Temple. His mother died of syphilis in a brothel to put food on their table not long after giving birth to her son. Yahiko was originally forced to live as a thief for the local Yakuza, who tricked him into believing that he still had to pay off the money the gangsters gave to his mother to buy medicine. With the help of Himura Kenshin (a Legendary samurai warrior known as both Hitokiri Battosai and Rurouni Kenshin) and Kamiya Kaoru, he becomes an apprentice of the Kamiya Kasshin-Ryu style.

Yahiko awoke in this world of youkai and has been fighting every since. It's also strange that the hot-tempered, foul mouthed child of the 19th century has become friends with the psychotic katana-wielding Japanese nun.Yumie, who has even taught him moves from her Battoujutsu and he has told her of his sensei Kenshin.

Orphan number seven is unique. He's a small ten-year-old boy with green eyes, short green hair, and green skin! The little boy is also dressed a purple and black body suit with purple boots and a grey utility belt.

Dawn or rather Raven knows this boy as Garfield Mark "Gar" Logan, a green-skinned shape-shifting hero known as Beast Boy. As a child, Garfield contracted a rare illness called Sakutia and was cured by a serum extracted from a green monkey. This serum had the unintended effect of turning his skin and hair green and gave him the ability to morph into any animal of his choice. He was first a member of the superhero group Doom Patrol, but later joined Teen Titans with Raven.

The Beast Boy that exists now is younger and less mature, but still powerful. He has memories of his older self, but they are suppressed and his personality is that of a small child.

He has the ability to morph into any animal that he has seen himself or has seen in an illustration (as is the case when he shape-shifts into an animal such as an extinct dinosaur), but his animal forms seems to be limited to child and young adult forms.He has also gained the ability to communicate with all animals and even grant them human-level intelligence while in contact.

Yumiko and Heinkel determined the crying boy was not a demon when they saw an issue of the current Teen Titan comic book that contained his complete origin story. They also faced the Kawaii effect, BB shape shift into various extremely cute animals rendering the two women helpless.

Orphan number eight is a small girl with dark eyes and long black hair tied in a ponytail. She's dressed in red lined white robes with a blue sash around her waist. What's most unique about her is she's holding a large white tiger cub!

Aruruu is a shy, quiet girl from a world resembling feudal Japan, but is in reality a distant post-apocalyptic Earth. She was severely injured presumably from an earthquake The forgotten god Witsuarunemitea healed her and even revived her. What's far more interesting, is all the people living on her world are descendants of humans implanted with DNA from Witsuarunemitea's host. The tiger in her arms is Mukkuru, the child of Mutikapa, a large white tiger with special traits, that had killed many innocent people. The child was spared by Witsuarunemitea's host Hakuoro.

Orphan number nine is a twelve-and-half year old boy standing four-foot-eleven with Brownish-Gold eyes and short black hair with a dark green tint. He's dressed in a white shirt, dark blue shorts, and tennis sneakers. He's also dressed in a white/blue jacket and a white cap, and carries an old tennis racket.

Ryoma Echizen is the son of the retired tennis player, Nanjirou Echizen. Born and raised in America Ryoma moves to Japan and is enrolled at Seigaku. He's an extremely skilled athlete, but Ryoma has no intention of becoming a tennis professional. The only reason why he's playing tennis is to beat his lecherous father, who is now ringing church bells in a temple.

Orphan number ten is an eleven year old girl standing four foot eleven, one hundred pounds with green eyes and long brown hair. She's dressed in a black t-shirt, gray pants, old sneakers, and a green jacket.

Her name is Molly Hayes, she was born in Los Angeles, and she's a Middle school dropout. The reason she dropped out is she's a runaway with a good reason. She and several children discovered there rich parents are a secret organization called The Pride. They also found them sacrificing the soul of a young girl to a creatures known as Gibborim. They ran away and one by one, learned each discovered powers escaping. Molly's parents were mutants, human beings who are born with genetic modifications that allow for abilities not possessed by regular humans

At first, they thought she didn't inherit the X-Gene from them, but during their escape her eyes glow an eerie purple and she gains super strength that would make Colossus proud (she can lift over a hundred tons). She has limited invulnerability and super strength, but at first, when she used these abilities, it tired her out and she would fall asleep.

As a result, she has trouble dealing with adults, even those with superpowers. In her own world, she defeated the shadow-manipulating hero Cloak and had to beat up her own Idol Wolverine (with ease). She awoke completely lost and alone, without even her hat collection or "Chocolate Frosted Sugar Bombs" cereal. She hides her powers from the fanatics, thinking they would see the purplish-pink glow generated in her eyes when she uses her power as a form of possession. She may be near-invulnerable, but she doesn't trust it working against magical /supernatural attacks and she only has her powers until she passes out.

Orphan number eleven and number twelve are nearly identical twins, with blue eyes, pale skin and hair so blond it looks white. They dress in semi-formal traditional-looking Eastern European clothes, described as looking like "mourning clothes." One has short hair (it falls to "his" lower jaw) while the others falls to past "her" waist.

Hansel and Gretel, known as "The Vampire Twins", come from the Carpathian mountains in Romania, where they were abandoned at a state-run orphanage at an early age. While there, they were forced to star in various pedophiliac films, often one in which they raped and/or killed other children. Eventually this rather brutal upbringing destroyed their minds, resulting in them becoming complete and utter psycho/sociopaths, who feel that by killing they extend their own lives, and as long as they kill, they will remain alive. Worse yet, "Hansel" and "Gretel" are adopted identities and personalities, exchanged as needed among the pair. In fact, although "Hansel" is nominally a male, and "Gretel" a girl, it is never made clear if this is really the case. The twins may be boy and girl, two boys, or two girls.

If the adults knew they were casual killers with severe Dissociative Identity Disorder and total Psycho-/-Socio-pathic nature, they wouldn't have taken them in. If they knew the Twins will gladly kill, dismember, and torture virtually anyone merely for the sheer joy of it, they would have thrown both out to the devils and hoped they destroyed each other. Thankfully, they have both been catatonic since they clearly remember there own gruesome deaths. Hansel was gunned down by Hotel Moscow, part of the Russian mob, and left to bleed to death and Gretal was killed by a sniper before she could finally break free of her killer instincts.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Strawberry Dog "Baby" Bus
----------------------------------------------------------------------

The people that became Inuyasha and Ichigo were volunteers helping at an Orphanage before Halloween. They were both loners, who hide there work to keep up there images as local bad boys, and spent more money than normal on there costumes to make sure the locals wouldn't recognize them.

They even had there extremely long swords, Inuyasha's five and half foot curved Tetsusaiga and Ichigo's five point seven foot Zangetsu, made in another town out of plastic. If those blades had been real metal the humans would not have been able to wield them. In the case of the creator's brother and himself who dressed as Cloud Strife from Final Fantasy Seven and Guts from Berserk, respectively, they wouldn't have been able to lift Cloud's five point nine foot Buster Sword or Gut's seven foot iron Dragon Slayer.

Ichigo, Willow, Oz, Inuyasha, and Shiori travel to the Ichigo/Inuyasha bus. The passenger bus is heavily armored and looks armed, but it's the color that shocks Willow, Oz, and even Shiori. It cause the three to burst out laughing and Inuyasha and Ichigo turns flush with embarrassment.

The Bus is painted a mixture of white, black, and red, making it look very menacing, but on the side of the bus is the large image of a strawberry color Akita Inu, a breed of dog from Akita Prefecture of Japan. It even had a long blade in it's mouth like a stick in a game of fetch.

The first person to exit the bus is a ten year old girl with black eyes and straight black hair stopping above her shoulders. She's dressed in a white shirt, black pants, and black sneakers with a red cap.

She followed by a meek black-haired girl with a white shirt and pink shirt and a boy with red hair dressed in a t-shirt and jeans. What's strange is the girl carries a multi-barreled shoulder cannon and the boy is carrying an over sized iron rod, similar to a Tetsubo - spiked iron covered oak rod.

"Karin! Jinta! Ururu!" yells Willow

"Hi Rukia!" says the boy Jinta

"Actually, it's Willow." says the new world shinigami, "I'm slightly more dominant than Rukia in this body."

Karin is the cynical and sarcastic daughter of Isshin Kurosaki and one of Ichigo's younger sisters. Compared to her soft-spoken twin, Karin is the more authoritative of the two. She is an excellent soccer player with a kick powerful enough to hurt weak hollows. Karin's tough exterior results from her mother's death; because she could not be useful around the house like Yuzu, she resolved never to cry so that she would not burden her family with her personal troubles.

"Good for you. The person I was had a crush on the orange-haired idiot that became my brother."

The person she was before Halloween was an orphan with a talent for soccer who grew attached to the orange-haired volunteer. When Halloween occurred, her original traumatic memories completely erased and replaced with Ichigo's sister.

Ururu Tsumugiya is a meek girl who mostly does manual labor for the Urahara Shop, as well as assisting Urahara in training Ichigo. Ururu's meek attitude is somewhat at odds with her fighting ability, which is undefined, but quite high and her leg-strength in particular is far greater than it should be, enough to crumple common monsters.

"Whose your friend, Miss Willow?"

"This is Oz" says Willow, then notices the head tilt. "He's a werewolf. A Good One."

Jinta Hanakari is supposed to do manual labor for the shop, such as cleaning, but usually slacks off and forces Ururu to do all the work. He desires to be a baseball star and Jinta, like the other shop members, appears to be old and wise when he isn't fooling around. While he likes to constantly bully Ururu, he does care for her, shown when he recovered her body after she was wounded by the arrancar Yylfordt Granz. Also like Ururu, he displays powerful fighting abilities comparable to those of shinigami, though not to the same extreme degree that she does.

"Another weirdo for the crew, huh, Ichigo?" says Jinta

Three more familiar people get off the bus.Two Willow instantly recognizes from Rukia's memory, but it takes several seconds to realize who the third one is.

The first is a little girl that resembles a six year old standing three foot seven, thirty four pounds, with brown eyes and shoulder length pink hair. She carries a sword around with a loose cord, rather than at the sash of her uniform. The scabbard is unusual in that it has a pair of wheels for transport and there's a child-like flower pattern on the cross-guard.

The second is a boy looking twelve year old standing four foot eleven, ninety pounds with Teal/Light Blue eyes and short wild silver hair. He carries a sword on his back with a four-pointed star guard (tsuba), a light-blue hilt (tsuka), and a deep blue sheath (saya). The reason he wears the sword on his back, is he's too short to carry it at his side.

The third is a twelve year old girl with black eyes and very long orange-brown hair with bangs behind her ears and hair-clips resembling six-petaled flowers. She also carries a small blade resembling a tanto with six-petaled flower guard and hold hilt making it resemble her hair clips.

They all wear the same uniform, a white kosode (short-sleeved under-kimono), a black kimono and hakama, and a white obi sash. The boy wears a white haori over the black shinigami clothes, with the kanji for the number ten on the back, inside a rhombus. He also wears a green sash pinned with a star around his shoulder to hold his sword. The pink-haired girl also wears an armband with the number eleven and a Yarrow flower symbol.

"Captain Hitsugaya . Lieutenant Yachiru Kusajishi. Orihime!?"

"It's me, Rukia." says the former teenager.

Yachiru is child-like in most respects, as she is small, cheerful, energetic, and carefree most of the time. She is often seen latched onto the back of her captain, Kenpachi Zaraki, just over his left shoulder, and is somewhat territorial about this position. She is surprisingly intimidating at times, especially when annoyed. Yachiru resents being criticized in any way and will often attack the perpetrator. Further reflecting her child-like nature, Yachiru likes to give people nicknames; the most notable of which is calling her captain "Ken-Chan"

"Orange-chan got smaller."

Toshiro Hitsugaya is the captain of the 10th Division in the Gotei 13. The youngest ever to reach captain rank. Thus, he is called a "boy genius" by many. Hitsugaya is generally mature and serious, in contrast to his free-spirited lieutenant, Rangiku Matsumoto. His Zanpakuto is Hyorinmaru (Ice Ring), the strongest of all rare water-ice element soul cutting swords of the Soul Society. Rukia's own Sode no Shirayuki is considered the most beautiful.

"We think the original host was younger and wasn't aged in the transformation."

Rukia knows Orihime Inoune, not a twelve year old girl, but fifteen year old woman with huge breasts. She is well known to both Rukia and Ichigo as friendly, humorous, sensitive, and kind person. She comes off as naive and rather clueless, which is at odds with her exceptionally high marks in school. Apparently, she is hopeless when it comes to technology. Additionally, according to a friend Tatsuki, Orihime has the fighting skill of a black belt

Rukia first meet Orihime when her late brother Sora became a Hollow. They (Ichigo, Rukia, and Orihime) stopped Sora and cleansed him, sending him to the Soul Society and then Rukia erased Orihime';s memory. After absorbing Rukia's power, Ichigo interactions with his classmates begin to have unforeseen side effects. Orihime, after being saved, she found herself endowed with the Shun Shun Rikka, six spirits that inhabit her hair pins and help her during battle situations.Spirits that allow her to produce powerful barriers, heal people and objects by reversing time's effect on them, and slice Hollows apart by forming a barrier inside them.

"Why are you a Shinigami?"

With the Shun Shun Rikka, Orihime was part of Ichigo's rescue group to the Soul Society, when Rukia was going to be executed for giving power to a human. She was also kidnapped by the traitor Aizen hoping to repair the arrancar creating Orb of Distortion.

"I'll explain." says Captain Hitsugaya, "While Ichigo gained his powers from having his heritage awakened by Rukia and Ishida gained powers from there Quincy heritage and training, Orihime and Chad gained powers from being exposed to Ichigo's spiritual pressure. According to a theory, there powers were based on what they would become upon death. Sado's powers were those of a Hollow, while Orihime were that of a Shinigami."

"Hurry up, Shiro-kun" says the pink-haired Lieutenant, which makes the Captain's veins pop.

"Halloween's surge of spiritual power combined with being compressed into a smaller body, increased her spiritual density to the point where she manifested as a full Shinigami."

Willow is happy that she explained her past and the powers of Rukia's friends to Oz.

Suddenly, three more children leave the bus.

The first is a seven year old child standing around one foot five with turquoise eyes and reddish-auburn hair done tied in a small ponytail by a ribbon. He also has pointed ears, cute fangs, a bushy tan tail, and animal-like feet. He's dressed in dark blue trousers, a blue under shirt with a falling leaves pattern, and a ran-brown sleeveless jacket tied at the waist by a sash.

His name is Shippou, a kitsune youkai (fox demon), from the same era as Inuyasha. He's actually fifty years old, but the slow demon aging makes him biologically seven years old. Shippou was orphaned by the Thunder Brothers, a pair of lightning manipulating youkai empowered by shards of the mystical Shikon no Tama (Jewel of Four Souls). He tried to steal the shards in possession of Inuyasha and his female friend Kagome, but in the end Inuyasha killed the Thunder Brothers and Kagome became a surrogate mother / older sister to him. He was traveling with Inuyasha when he woke up next to Inuyasha and his yoki (youkai energy) and Kitsune Youjutsu (Fox Magic) enhanced to that a five tailed kitsune.

The girl on his left is ten years old standing four-foot-seven with blue eyes and very long black hair. She's dressed in a red hakama, a white kimono shirt, tabi (split toe socks), and wooden sandals, the typical clothing of a Miko. The kimono shirt has long, wide sleeves and is always white, as white is a symbol of purity. She also wears a red ribbon in her hair.

The girl on the right is also ten years old and also stands the same height with gold eyes, dark skin, wild silver hair. She also has small fangs, long pointed ears, sharp nails, and furry tail. She's dressed in black hakama (pants) with a sleeveless white kosode (shirt) with a black obi (sash) and white bandages wrapped around the wrists.

Oz sniffs the air and says one word, "Fox?"

"Shippou is a kitsune. We have not idea who he was before Halloween" explains Inuyasha, "The girls are miko and neko hanyo (cat half demon), and they are the opposite."

"Trying to sound smart, Inuyasha?"

*WHACK!*

Inuyasha hits Shippou on the top of the head, then gives him a modern noogie, while the others watch. The young miko and neko hanyo look a little upset, but they are getting us to it.

The young miko was Ariana Leah O'Sullivan who was born in Northern Ireland came to America with her parents. Her father was a Catholic, but her mother was Protestant, which lead to problems from NRA relatives. They were nearly bankrupted by a corrupt banker in New York and an Islamic terrorist bombing resulted in her being placed in an orphanage. The long set of experiences turned her off Western Religion and is the reason she dressed as Shinto Shrine Maiden.

The chaos magic remade her into an extremely powerful miko of Inuyasha's world in the same class of Midoriko, Kikyou, and a fully unsealed Kagome. She was learning target archery despite her age before Halloween and Halloween gave her the skills of a Kyudo (Japanese Archery) master including Yabusame, a type of Japanese archery performed while riding a horse, which is strange since she's never been on a horse.

The neko hanyo was Catherine Catalina White, an orphan that was teased for her natural white blond hair and her feline obsession, one she inherited from her mother. She was abandoned at the orphanage by her father, when her mother died. She was only dressed in old fashion Japanese clothing with a clip on cat-tail and neko mimi (cat ears) headband, when the chaos transformed her replacing her father's worthless blood with the blood of noble neko taiyoukai (cat demon lord).

Inuyasha, a canine demon, finds it ironic that he's taking care of a feline youkai. His last experience was with the Panther Tribe, a group of feline youkai who fought his father, Inu Taisho (The Dog General). It was his father who killed the Panther King and they later tried to get revenge on him and Sesshomaru. A group composed of the ice-manipulating Toran, super strong lightning manipulator Shuran, illusionist Shunran, and flame-manipulating Karan kidnapped people to sacrifice and resurrect the Panther King, but the undead betrayed them. It was Sesshomaru, using the Tenseiga, that destroyed the undead Panther King and resurrected the Panther Tribe.

Catherine other than possessing the typical rapid healing, enhanced physical abilities, and heightened senses of most predatory hanyou, she also possesses the special ability to boost her physical abilities for short periods. She has even learned alternate modes, increasing strength and durability further by sacrificing speed and agility, and vis versa.

"How many more??" says Willow, exhaling.

"Two teams." says Inuyasha, "My group other the Shippou, Ariana, and Catherine is a group of four super powered brats."

"We are not brats, doggy boy!"

The first is a twelve year old boy standing five foot one, ninety three pounds with blue eyes and short blond hair. He's dressed in a black and white bodysuit with pleated metallic boots.

"His name is Alexander "Alex" Power known in the Superhuman world as Zero-G. He possesses the superhuman ability to negate gravity on himself and other living beings and objects. This allows him to fly and lift massive objects many times his own weight. He's also developed the ability to increase gravity making people and things so heavy they can't move"

"You mean like Izuru Kira's shikai?" says Willow

"Very similar." says Captain Hitsugaya.

The Lieutenant of the Third Division's Zanpakuto Wabisuke turns into square hook with the shikai command of omote o agero (raise your head). In this form, Wabisuke doubles the weight of whatever it strikes. The effect is cumulative, so each following hit exponentially increases the weight of the target. So after seven hits, the weight of an opponent's sword would increase a hundred twenty eight times.

The second is a girl standing four foot eight with blue eyes and strawberry blond hair. She dressed in a red and black body suit with the same boots.and similar arm bands

"Julie Power. Code name: Lightspeed. She has the ability to fly with a maximum speed of at least eight hundred miles per hour, faster than the speed of sound. She also possesses superhuman durability, which allows her to survive impacts at those speeds. She's also has quick reflexes and is a good fighter."

The girl blushes. She actually shy and quiet outside of battle.

The third is boy with blue eyes and short brown hair. He's dressed in a blue and black body suit with with same bracers and boots.

"Jack Power. Code name: Mass Master. Jack has the ability to control the density of the molecules of his body. He can disperse his molecules into a dense, cloud-like form, or reduce the space between them until he is a small, highly resistant eight inch size."

The fourth and last child is a girl standing three foot seven, forty one pounds with blue eyes and strawberry blond hair done in two pigtails.

"Katherine "Katie" Power. Code name: Energizer. Energizer can project "power balls" of force from her chest, which carry great destructive impact. In order to amass enough energy to form the "power balls," Energizer must either disintegrate an object and absorb the released energy into herself, or absorb energy fired at her."

"When did you start using those words, Inuyasha?" asks Shiori

"My host had a secret." says Inuyasha, pulling out a thick worn book, "When I woke up, I found an Advance College Physics book in my robes and my head filled with terms and equations."

"I knew David was smart under that attitude!" says Catherine

"The four call themselves the Power Pack. Apparently in there world, Aelfyre Whitemane, a member of a race called the Kymellians, died saving there life from another group of aliens called the Z'nrx, nicknamed "Snarks". He came to Earth to stop Dr. Power from accidentally destroying the Earth and before he died he transfered his powers to them and told them to use their new abilities to save their world."

"Whitemane was an alien horse and he gave us his smart-ship Friday." says Katie

Rukia raises an eyebrow, then says, "So, what about the others?"

"Toshiro, Orihime, Yachiru, Jinta, Ururu, and Karin were in my group." says Ichigo, "There's was another guy leading a group eight, but he panicked and got eaten within the first three minutes!"

"Mr. Creed wasn't even wearing a costume." says Catherine, "That community service bigot dressed in black business suit and got turned into an even bigger jerk."

"I think he became Greydon Creed." says Alex, "He was the founder of the Friends of Humanity, this mutant hate group back in our world, and was assassinated by his own mutant mother when he tried to become President."

"It's a good thing he was eaten, then." says Ichigo. He got a lot of heat from old goats in Japan for not being pure Japanese. He pounded them into the ground for saying there was anything wrong with his mother. "The rest of you can come out!"

Eight more children leave the bus and Willow can only stare at the mini versions of Xander's favorite comic book characters

The first is a little Caucasian boy with short brown hair and brown eyes behind a red crystal visor. He wears a tight dark blue shirt and pants with black boots and a yellow belt with "X" symbol buckle.

"Cyke is a child clone version of Scott Summers, an X-Man known as Cyclops. Cyke possesses the mutant ability to project a beam of concussive, ruby-colored force from his eyes. Cyke's eyes are no longer the complex organic jelly that utilizes the visible spectrum of light to see the world around it.'

'Instead, they are inter-dimensional apertures between this universe and another, non-Einsteinian universe, where physical laws as we know them do not pertain. This non-Einsteinian universe is filled with particles that resemble photons, yet they interact with this universe's particles by transferring kinetic energy in the form of gravitons (the particle of gravitation). These particles..."

He notices everyone is looking bored.

"He shoots laser beams from his eyes. He's also good at strategy and martial arts. Well as good as he can be with such a small body."

Ichigo then ducks a red beam, which continues on to demolish the nearby abandoned bowling alley. The crimson beam goes straight threw causing part of the structure to collapse, which chain reacts to collapse the entire building. The only thing that escapes is a couple dozen bowling balls and two rats.

The group sweat-drops.

The second is a little Caucasian girl with green eyes and long brown hair with a white stripe. She's dressed in a full body yellow and green jumpsuit with yellow boots and gloves, and a bomber jacket.

"Sugah, a child version of the X-Man Rogue. Her power is Involuntary Power Absorption. She can absorb the memories, knowledge, talents, personality and physical abilities (whether superhuman or not) of another human being or members of some sentient alien races or some demons through physical contact of her skin with the skin of the other person. She also possesses superhuman strength, flight, enhanced reflexes, telepathic resistance, Near-Invulnerability, and a Seventh Sense that enabled her to subconsciously anticipate an opponent’s moves.'

'She recently permanently absorbed the energy of a magic absorbing demon that thought her powers were mystical in origin and was too stubborn and stupid to let go. Not only did she gain resistant from magical attacks, but she has gained a small amount of control over her Power Absorption."

The third is a little Caucasian girl with hazel eyes and long brown hair. She's dressed in a black top and shorts with black boots, fingerless gloves, and a black leather jacket. She also wears a Star of David.

"Shadowkitty, a child version of Kitty Pryde also known as the X-Man Shadowcat. She possesses the ability to pass through solid matter by passing her atoms through the spaces between the atoms of the object through which she is moving. This intangibility can also be extended to other people and objects, allows her to walk on air, disrupts electrical devices, and makes her resistant to telepathy. She's also a martial artist, multi-lingual, skilled dancer, and a genius-level computer expert.'

'Note. She wasn't even dressed as Shadowcat, she was just close to the others, had the same name Katherine,and a Star of David."

The fourth is a little Asian girl with violet-blue eyes and long dark purple hair. She also has a red tattoo over her right eye.She wears a dark purple bathing suit with long boots and fingerless gloves. She also wears a long red ribbon around her waist.

"Psychilde, a child version of Psylocke. She possesses powerful telekinesis and can generate katana composed of raw psionic energy or boost her physical abilities, and is immune to telepathic attacks. She possesses some telepathic abilities and can teleport threw shadows. She's a very skilled martial artist and psychic combatant, only limited by her size."

"I call it Koda-chan. It's more of a TK Kodachi than a Katana." says Psychilde, while the others wonder where she got the candy, "It's shorter!"

The fifth is a little African American woman with blue eyes and long white hair. She's dressed in a black body suit with a yellow lightning bolt -like marking. She also wears a black cape with a red underside.

"Shower, a child version of X-Man Storm. She possesses the ability to fly on generated currents of wind and can fire blasts of wind, ice, rain, or lightning. She would have greater weather manipulation powers if the Red Sky didn't actively resist people tampering with it."

"I almost got zapped." says a pouting Shower.

The sixth is a little Caucasian boy of Russian descent with blue eyes and black hair with a strict hair cut. He's dressed in a loose red and gold uniform missing sections of fabric. The reason becomes clear when he increases his size and muscle mass transforming into a living steel sculpture.

"Colossusus, a child version of the X-Man Colossus. He has the superhuman ability to convert the tissue of his entire body into an organic steel-like substance, granting him superhuman strength and a high degree of resistance to bodily harm. He is durable enough to withstand a 110 millimeter Howitzer shell and survive in temperatures ranging from minus three hundred ninety degrees to nine thousand degrees Fahrenheit, He can operate a peak for several days with superhuman stamina, can lift nearly a hundred tons with his superhuman strength, and does need food, water, or air while armored."

"He's also the one who painted the doggy!" says Katie

The seventh is a little demon boy with blue eyes, blue hair, and his skin is covered in fine indigo-colored fur. He has three fingers (including the opposable thumbs) on each hand and only two toes on each foot. He also has a long tail with a arrowhead-shape tip. He's dressed in a red and black body suit with white hands and feet.

"Creepy Crawler, a child version of X-Man Nightcrawler. His main power is teleportation, but he can crawl on walls, has flexible bone structure, can camouflage into shadows, has a prehensile tail and infrared vision, and also possesses superhuman agility and reflexes. He's also got training as a acrobat and combatant."

"He's part demon, sorta." says Inuyasha, "His dad was Azazel, a member of a race of demonic-looking mutants dating back to Biblical times who were banished to another dimension by another race of angelic mutants."

Much staring occurred.

The eight is a little girl with green eyes and long black hair. She also has two blades extending from from the backs of her hands. She's dressed in a black top and shorts with black combat boots!

"Talon. She's a younger version of another X-Baby, Wolvie's original's clone daughter. She has a regenerative healing factor that comes with foreign chemical immunity, disease immunity, superhumanly acute senses, superhuman stamina, superhuman agility, and superhuman reflexes. She also has two retractable bone claws in each arm and one in each foot coated with an indestructible metal. She possesses expert Covert Ops Training and is a master martial artist. "

"So, it's been you guys taking care of all these super-powered kids alone?"

"For the past couple of months since Halloween." says Ichigo looking haunted.

"We tried to join other groups, but they're always too normal." says a depressed Inuyasha

"They can't handle the damages." says Captain Hitsugaya, while Yachiru pats him on the back

The rubble of the bowling alley catches fires.

Sunnyside Gas Bar and Restaurant
----------------------------------------------------------------------

In front of Vampire RV stands Detective Tatsuhiko Shido, his urban fairy Gumi, Princess Arcueid Brunestud, Jiro and Kotaro Mochizuki, and vampire hunter D

A girl steps out carrying a large halberd. A diminutive young girl with sunken eyes and dark purple hair done in pigtails. She dressed in a black hooded robe with black gloves

Nightwing continues the introductions

"That's Lulu. Pre-Halloween she was Lumina "Lulu" Lange, the daughter of Dr. Luther Lange, a hematologist, and museum director Luisa Lange. She was born with a rare blood disease, but they allowed her to go trick-or-treating with a protective black robe and 99 Cent plastic halberd.'

'She was transformed in Lulu, a member of a group of engineered soldiers known as The Schiff. They were created from the blood of vampire-like creature called.."

"Diva." says Dawn

"How?" says Nightwing, while Lulu looks shocked.

"A girl back in Sunnydale, Harmony, dressed as Diva." explains half-demon sorceress, "We created files on everyone, even sleeping beauty. The Schiff were created ass super soldiers, but they rebelled killing all of scientists. One of the dying tricked them into believing Saya's blood could cure them of Thorn, a condition that causes them to slowly crystallize. Instead it was almost instant death."

"Thankfully, the magic changed her so she no longer suffers from Thorn, or any other form of medical condition or disease. The blood tests indicate she's now immune to every known virus, bacteria, fungi, or prion." finishes Nightwings, "She's very vulnerable to sunlight, but that's a common vampire problem."

The Upper Halves - Jio, Setsuna, Priss, and Aerith- and Jill Nanashi leading the Mon-stars - Remus, Lilith, Amy, May, and Phil don't seem to care. After all the weirdness they have encountered in the pass few months, super immunity is not very impressive.

Lulu seeing this removes one of her gloves and runs it across her halberd's large blade. As the blood comes out she flicks her hand and there's a loud sound of something hard piercing metal. The group turns to see a tiny red crystal embedded in a metal pole.

"Dad... Detective Shido can manipulate his blood into a weapons" explains Lulu, "When he learned my blood now crystallizes when separated from my body, he taught me how to produce my new blood thorns."

That impresses the Upper Halves a little.

Nightwing's head drops as Starfire tends to there daughter's wet diaper.

At the Motorhome, the large group has settled down.

Leon Garcia de Asturias, Vash the Stampede, Meryl Stryfe, Nicholas D. Wolfwood, Milly Thompson, . Gamma Akutabi, and Wolfgangina Lalla Getto are standing in one group with there children.

Brigadier General Roy Mustang, First Lieutenant Riza Hawkeye, Lieutenant Colonel Maes Hughes, and Izumi Curtis are standing in the other group with there children.

Gabriel, Robert, Elisa, Maria, John, Serenity, Emily, Isabella, Ava, Belle Rose, Jonathan, and Gem have odd looks on there face as if expecting something interesting to happen.

The six orphans have departed the motor-home and are ready for Nightwing's introductions. The first two stand with Roy's group.

The first is a young boy standing four foot one with dark eyes and short black hair. He's dressed in a green sweater over a white shirt and black shorts with white black shoes.

The second is a small 10 year old Chinese girl with dark eyes and long black hair done in ox horns (buns on the sides of her head). She's dressed in Chinese style clothing with odd daggers in her hand and a tiny panda on her shoulder!

"Selim Bradley. He's the adopted son of Führer King Bradley. He doesn't seem to remember what happened during Mustang's fight with Pride."

'The other is Mei Chan, a wandering alchemist from the far-Eastern country of Xing and the tiny panda is named Xiao Mei. She is searching for the secret of immortality so that her clan in Xing, the lowest caste, will not die out. She comes from an alternate version of our world with most of the same people, but events and origins are different. She can use her daggers to use Xing Rentanjutsu, which is there version of alchemy. They call our version Renkinjutsu'

'It's interesting to note is Mei's Rentanjutsu has increased by a severe amount since Halloween."

The next three stand against the motor-home looking like a scene out of Dungeon and Dragons

A 12 year old girl standing over five foot with green eyes, pale skin, and long red hair. She also has long pointed ears and supernatural beauty that shows even at a young age. She's dressed in dark brown fantasy clothing with boots and archery gloves. She also wears a thin long sword and a quiver of arrows, and holds a wooden long bow.

A boy, only a child, but is nearly six feet tall with long black hair, gold eyes, and greenish skin. He has a thick jutting jaw with prominent teeth and a very muscular body with coarse body hair. He's dressed tan trousers and a sleeveless black shirt with leather leg guards, a leather Cuirass, and metal pauldrons. He carries a curved sword and a leather belt with pouches.

The girl is six years old with red-amber eyes, orange skin, long gold hair reaching her waist. She has sharp fangs and claws. The most important traits are two rows of spines on her forehead becoming two upward pointed horns, a long reptilian tail ending in a arrowhead-shaped tip, and a pair of huge ribbed leathery wings with yellow under sides

"Those three were part of the same group and according to the files they started as a brother and sister of Lithuanian descent, Evelina Urbonienė and Dovydas Urbonas, and the kid Evelina was babysitting, Karina Wetherby.'

'Evelina was forced to take care of her mentally ill brother while her Parents worked, so she played an Online Fantasy RPG with him. The Wetherbys, friends of the family, left there daughter with her for the night. Evelina, under her adopted American name Eve inputed herself, her brother David and even little Karina.'

'When the magic hit, Eve became the Half Elf Ranger Tarawiel Friend-of-Men. According to the profile she wrote, the daughter of the sole survivor of an elven kingdom that was destroyed by the Lich King. She became a Ranger like her father Maera Greycloak and now seeks revenge against the Lich King for her father's murder. She travels with her group looking for the Lich King's Lost Phylactery."

"Phylactery?" asks Phil

"Soul Jar." says Lilith, "A Lich is an undead wizard who put his soul in one of those containers. So as long as the box is safe, he can keep coming back over and over again."

"Sounds like the Dark Lord Horcruxes." says Remus, "Pieces of his soul in containers."

"He was still mostly alive." counters Lilith

Nightwing coughs to regain there attention, then he waves away Starfire's cough drops.

"David became Rhlec, a half-orc barbarian. The son of a young woman who was raped by the Orc Barbarian in far north. His mother raised him with love and managed to teach him, giving him a human level education. His father destroyed his mother's village as a tribute to the Lich King and to prove his loyalty by destroying past conquests. Rhlec traveled south to kill his father and joined Tarawiel."

"I get the idea. Are they still obsessed with killing the Lich King?" whispers Dawn to Nightwing

"Actually the spell grabbed them after the game ended. Rhlec crushed his father's skull after Tarawiel weakened the Orc Leader with a poisoned arrow and they destroyed the Lost Phylactery with dragon fire destroying the Lich King and his forces.'

'It's interesting to note that Rhlec is very intelligent. He no longer suffers the mental illness, nor does he have the low intelligence common in most half-orcs."

Karina sneezes and everyone jumps back from the cone of flame that shoots from her mouth.

"Karina became a half-dragon fighter. The profile says she's the granddaughter of a wizard who went treasure hunting in the volcanic lair of a Orange Dragon. He was looking for a magical item called an Eboni Birthstone.'

'Apparently, the Eboni Birthstone are magic jewels created by an ancient hermit sorcerer. A soldier went to war and promised his youth wife they would start a family together when he returned. He was hit by a poison arrow, but survived and returned home after the War. He learned he was sterile due to the poison, so he went to Eboni for help and the sorcerer created a magic stone that would take blood from two people, grow, and then open like a egg to reveal baby containing both there bloods. Eboni created many prototypes and improved versions during his life time."

"Why did the wizard need one?"

"His daughter was being forced to marry a rich noble who wanted an heir, but she didn't want to touch the fat Baron. The Wizard tracked one of the Eboni stones to the dragon's hoard. He barely survived the battle and returned home with a blood-soaked stone."

"Ahh... I see the problem" says Dawn with a smirk.

"They added the blood from the Wizard's daughter first, but a combination of magic in her blood and the traces of dragon, caused it to absorb the male Dragon's blood instead of the Baron's. The stone grew and opened up to reveal a half-dragon baby."

Katrina flaps her wings and floats in the air for a few minutes before returning to the ground.

"The Baron tried to destroy the half-dragon child, but the mother protected her child. The Baron had his men kill her, but then the Wizard killed the Baron. The other nobles sent there soldiers and assassins out to destroy the The Wizard and granddaughter, who ended up spending years on the run.'

'The Kingdom of Aerisa was destroyed by the Lich King, but the dark lord also sought to destroy the child. You can guess why he wanted to destroy her."

"The dragon fire that destroyed Lost Phylactery."

"Correct. It could only be destroyed by the flame of dragon not hatched."

"Aren't you forgetting some one?" comes a voice near the end of the motor-home.


A twelve year old girl standing five-foot-seven with ice blue eyes and hip length silver blond hair. She wears a white t-shirt and black shorts with black/white gloves, black/white sneakers, and a black bandanna. She has a yellow belt with many pouches from various gear, including six small red and white balls marked with white five-pointed stars.There is also a belt handing from her hip with eight more red and white balls marked with black five pointed stars.

"That's Kira Darc, a twelve year old Pokémon Trainer."

"Pokemon!?" yells Dawn, "You mean those sickly cute monsters from Nintendo??"

"Cute?" asks "There not cute anymore. Not since Halloween. Let me show you."

She pulls off the six balls from the waist and they all expand to baseball size

"Mightyena!"

A normal Mightyena resembles a black and grey wolf standing three foot three, the monster wolf that appears from the first ball is nine foot nine and looks like the child of the mythological wolf Fenrir, the son of Loki who will swallow Odin during the course of Ragnarök. It's intimidating aura is enough to cause most of the group to back up.

"Sandslash!"

A normal Sandslash looks a yellow hedgehog standing three foot three with long claws and long brown quills on it's back. The Sandslash that emerges from the second ball is nine foot nine with a dark brown body, long sword-like claws, and black blade like quills, each longer than a o-katana. It's face also has bone ridges that forms a protective mask over it's red eyes.

"Swellow!"

A normal Swellow is a cute swallow-like bird standing two foot four with blue body, a white belly, and a red breast. It's head as a red front with swept back feathers and it has a split red-tipped tail. The bird that emerges is seven feet tall with dark blue, almost black feathers and the red feathers are almost crimson. It also has wicked claws on it's feet.

"Manchamp!"

A Machamp is a reptilian humanoid standing Five foot three with light green skin, orange eyes, three yellow fins on it's head, and four arms. It also wears a matte black trunks. The four-armed titan that comes from the fourth ball stands over fifteen feet tall with a very muscular form, dark green skin, serrated gold fins, and gold eyes There are ridges on his body, resembling thick cables covered in skin covering his body and making the almost cute face, look very menacing.

"Ariados!"

An Ariados is a large poisonous insect resembling a spider with a striped orange body with blue eyes, two mandible, a spike coming out of the forehead, and six purple and yellow limbs, four on the sides and two on the back. It huge by Earth standards at three foot seven, seventy four pounds, but average by Pokemon world standards. The Ariados that emerges from ball five is ten foot nine and over six hundred pounds. It's coloring is also different. It's body is a very dark shade of purple with black stripes and yellow and dark blue legs.

"Tyranitar!"

A Tyranitar are a huge light green bipedal armored reptile like out of a Godzilla film, but smaller at six foot seven, four hundred forty five pounds. Three claws on each hand and each foot, a body covered in layers of spiky armor, and a thick tail ending in spikes. The Tyranitar that emerges from the last poke ball is nearly twenty feet tall with dark green armored hide with black spines, long black claws, and a mouth full of sharp fangs. The horns on it's head form three long blades that curve back with the spines on it's back.

"Kiera D'arca. She was an average girl from a small town with interests in soccer, art, and video games. She had problems with her parents wanting perfection and so did the person she became, Kira Darc." says Nightwing, "Kira's late father was a champion with her mother was a girl he meet during her travels. Her mother pushed her into becoming a trainer and Kira decided to make it a long trip.'

'According to her, most trainers start with either a fire-type, a grass-type, or a water-type. Instead she started with Poochyena, a dark-type, for no other reason than being different.'

'She was a pair of brothers that were killed. She claimed the eight Pokemon the two had after there deaths."

Suddenly, a howling wind blows around Tyranitar sending dust and sand into the air. It opens it's mouth a sphere of light forms, the it flings it head and a beam of energy shoots from it's mouth. It hits a building in the distance causing a massive explosion that consumes the structure.

A honking is heard and Strawberry Dog Bus appears heading towards the vampire bus and the mobile home. Tyranitar is about to fire another giant Hyper Beam, but Kira recalls him and the other giant pocket monsters to there red-and-white balls.

The Scooby Bus also appears ready to join the convoy.

"Introductions have been made, now we need to decide where to go." says Nightwing, "Vampire Bus. Orphans. To Sunnydale Colony or to Cyber Colony."

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Entrance/Exit to Cyber City Machina
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Cyber City, also known as Machina, is a massive metropolis constructed by the technology of those who dressed in science fiction costumes. The mad scientists, future heroes and heroines, cyborgs, robots, clones, androids, bioroids, sentient mecha, and others have gathered and built the city from the ruins of the old world.

They also constructed a ten meter tall, four meter thick wall of concrete, ceramic and alloy to protect the city and keep out the various Halloween. You can't tunnel under the wall because of quick hardening polymers and liquid alloy pumped into the ground, connecting the wall and the bedrock. The only way in and out of city are either over the wall, in which you also have to deal with air defenses or threw the high security gates.

It strange, but two machines escaped on the underside of scouting probe.

Two odd machines run down the road carrying huge cases.

The first is a steel-gray robot with a cylinder body with a hinged door on the front and a cylinder-shaped head with a antenna, a visor with two large eyes, and a grill for a mouth. It also has two long cable-like arms ending three prong fingers and long cable legs ending in disk stand feet.

The second is a rust red metal robot with an inverted triangular head, cylinder upper torso, and cylinder lower torso connected by a thick cable like a spine. It also has the same arms and legs as the first except thinner and the feet are cut to resemble cloven hooves It's head as large eyes, a mouth full of sharp teeth, and bull horns, and it also has a wire-like tail ending a flat metal triangle arrowhead.

"We are doomed, my friend Bender" says the robot devil, putting down his own boxes,"When the council learn what we have done."

Bender puts the boxes on the road, turns, and points his rear at the Robot Devil.

"Bite my shiny metal ass."

Suddenly, they hear the sounds of bus horns and turn in time to see two buses, one heavily armored bus on the same road as they are. It's too close for them to move, even if there arms weren't filled with booty.

WHAM!

There is a thunderous crash as the armored bus runs over Bender and the Robot Devil.

CRUNCH x 2

Then two loud crunches as the Strawberry Dog Bus runs them over.

WHAM!

Then the Robot Devil is hit by a mobile home.

The Robot Devil's torso is crushed in, leaking oil, and sending out sparks. It's legs have been torn off and one of it's arms is disconnected. Bender has a semi-crushed torso, a dented head, and missing an arm and a leg.

"We pp..aayy fo..rrr our sinsss! (boing!)" says the Robot Devil before his head pops off his neck, hanging by a long spring. "Ben...der...(click!)"

"Says you. With you gone, all this loot is mine." says Bender picking up the boxes.

Bender hears something else on the road. It's too small to be a bus or automobile, but he still turns.

There's a young boy with dark hair coming towards him dressed in a black shirt, dark green khaki shorts, and dark green hooded sweater. He also wears a red cap with green, yellow, and purple stickers and he wears golden inline skates He also carries a bent, gold-colored metal baseball bat

WHACK!

A bat he uses to send Bender's head flying off his shoulder. The now bent head lands in muddy ditch and can only listen as the boxes hit the ground. The hundred bottles of liqueur inside the cases shatter on impact. In the mud is a sound which if heard correctly would be, "No! Not the Booze!"

A few minutes down the road, more odd people arrive at Cyber City

A massive grey wolf with spiky fur behind the head appears with a blond woman in a yellow motorcycle jump suit on his back. He's also followed by a ball of pink/purple light.

As the group stops, the woman is revealed to be nearly six foot with blue eyes and long sandy blond hair. On her back is a Tsurugi, a specific type of Japanese straight, double-edged sword no longer in common use. The saya (sheath), tsuka (hilt), fuchi (collar), kashira (pommel), and tsuba (hand guard) are pure black and the saya is covered in tattered, burnt ofuda - Shinto paper talismans. It's held on her back by a thin, but supernatural strong rope made of rice straw like a Shimenawa.

As the woman gets off the wolf, it transforms to a young man with blue eyes, long blond hair, and the long pointed ears of a elf. He's dressed in a green tunic and pants with a white undershirt and gloves, boots, and belts made of soft brown leather. He carries a double-edged one-handed sword with a purple hilt and blue pommel is on his back in a blue-and-gold sheath. He also carries a small round shield..

The energy bubble shatters into a shower of vanishing blue and purple sparks revealing a very strange creature. It's a large humanoid creature faintly resembling a feline with purple-tinted white skin, large purple eyes, and not a trace of hair. It has two large toes at the end of it's thick legs and three bulbous fingers at the end of king thin arms. It's stomach is dark purple and extends to the long thick bulbous tail slight;y longer than it is. It also has two small odd-shaped ears on the top of it's larger-than-human-size head and a cord going from it's head to it's armor-shaped chest and back, like a hose going to a space suit from the helmet. The creature stands a tall six foot seven, two hundred sixty nine pounds, and it's only clothing is an odd necklace of curved green beads.

The woman turns to the creature

"Are you sure this is right way, Mewtwo?"

"Yes. I'm also detecting more signatures, Miss Kiddo and the Megatamas are reacting."

Beatrix Kiddo, codenamed "Black Mamba", was a former member of the "Deadly Viper Assassination Squad", an elite, shadowy group of assassins. A formidable, ruthless warrior trained under martial arts master Pai Mei, she served at the right hand of Bill, her boss and lover. She then learned she was pregnant with Bill's life and abandoned her dangerous profession. She faked her death and settled down in rural town and was planning to marry a normal man. Bill found her, killing the entire wedding rehearsal and leaving her in coma.

After waking up, years later, to the find the orderly Buck had been raping her and prostituting her, she killed the client and Buck, and traveled to Okinawa and had special sword made.

She slaughtered the vipers, including her former rival who had retired with husband and daughter, and in the end learned the daughter she thought died in utero was alive. After killing Bill in a climatic battle which resolved there differences she disappeared with her four year old daughter B.B.

She woke in this world, in the same outfit she used to hunt the viper squad in, twelve years after that battle. At first she thought, Vicky, daughter of assassin Vernita Green, had come for her revenge and poisoned her with something that causes severe hallucinations

Instead of peerless katana crafted for her by Hattori Hanzo, she found a ancient heavily warded blade that give off what she can only call a demonic aura. It was on the ground with a ribbon covered in kanji and reading "Only a true warrior who can face the storms and countless numbers can wield the Sword of the Snake". She quickly learned to use the unbreakable, insanely sharp weapon in the hellish world, even learning to use the Tsurugi's ability to create wind sharp enough to cut a human like a piece of straw.

"We are getting close to a city" states Link, "It's a large one of glass and metal with a high wall."

"I thought Pokémon were protectors of nature, why would they go to place filled with human technology?" asks the woman known as the Bride.

The blond-haired Hylian boy is Link, the hero of Hyrule, past and future from evil forces such as Ganondorf. In his various incarnations, he has courageously quested and stopped Ganon who sought more power. In his latest battle, he stopped the Ganondorf and the corrupted Twilight King Zant from conquering merging and conquering the worlds of Hyrule and the Twilight Realm.

He awoke in this new world with the Master Sword, the ability to transform into a larger version of his Twilight Wolf form, and a strange shield containing a strange mirror. A mirror that reflects light that burns evil creatures, especially those vampire creatures. He does not know much about "The Eight Hand Mirror", but considering it was a mirror that connected the Twilight Realm and Hyrule, he's very careful with his shield.

"The Pokemon of this world are partners to humans or what was once human." says Mewtwo, not with his small mouth but his mind, "Also, remember my origins. The one I seek may be found in a cloning lab."

The third is Mewtwo. In his world, the world of Pokemon, a geneticist named Dr. Fuji conducted numerous cloning experiments, but needed a very powerful Pokemon to survive the process. Giovanni, the leader of criminal organization Team Rocket, supplied him with the funding for the purpose of a creating as super powerful clone.

Mewtwo was grown in a tube with a bulbasaur, a charmander, and a squirtle, who he could contact with his psychic powers. There was also a clone of Professor's late daughter, who died in an accident, named Amber Two. Mewtwo was close to them, especially Amber Two, but there bodies couldn't take the strain. Mewtwo was traumatized when she dissolved in front of him and then her :"father" said he would just clone another. It sent him into a rage, but the scientists were able to sedate and suppress his memories using a serum. The second time he awoke, he broke free of the scientists and completely destroyed the lab.

"If you are alive, Amber, I will find you!" says Mewtwo, his voice resonating in the minds of people for nearly a mile.

Giovanni tricked Mewtwo into working for him, capturing Pokemon with Team Rocket and fighting trainers at the Viridian City Gym. When he learned Giovanni was using him and thought he was just a tool, he broke free of power-inhibiting armor and trashed the gym. Mewtwo began to hate the humans and original Pokemon that sided with them, so he created his own super-clone Pokemon and planned to destroy humanity. It was only threw the courage and sacrifice of an Ash Ketchum did he begin to forgive.

The last he remembers was being in a distant city after his colony of super-clones and there children spread out into the world. He was standing on a tower overlooking the night time humans and Pokemon, when he found himself on a street surrounded by creatures neither human nor Pokemon. He also found himself wearing a necklace of curved jade beads. Magatamas which send him visions of Amber being alive and other Pokemon in need.

"To Cyber City!"

----------------------------------------------------------------------
The Gates
----------------------------------------------------------------------

The Sunnydale Bus, Orphan Mini-home, and Strawberry Dog Bus enter the Gates of Cyber City.

The Vampire Bus containing Detective Tatsuhiko Shido, Gumi, Arcueid Brunestud, Jiro and Kotaro Mochizuki, D, Lulu, and the other vampire and vampiric creatures go South to Sunnydale Colony. It''s an colony with possibilities and some of best medical personal in the world.

Rosette Christopher, Heinkel Wolfe, Yumie Takagi, and Yahiko Myoujin in the 'Schwimmwagen' follow them for three reason. One, to make sure the vampires don't do anything strange. Two, to get supplies including more blessed ammo and blades from the Holy-Forge. Three, to meet the Pope that runs the forge and see if he's someone they would be willing to serve.

The welcoming committee for Sunnydale, Mini-home, and Strawberry Dog consists of a two dozen humanoid robots with a skull-like head and metal bones actuated by a powerful network of hydraulic cylinders and servomechanisms. They each stand a muscular six foot two with glowing red eyes.

These twenty four machines are endoskeletons of 850 series Model 101 Terminators produced by Skynet defense systems in it's war against humanity. Skynet was a machine system that went rogue and triggered a thermonuclear war that left the survivors to fight the War with the machines.

There are also six twenty-foot humanoid robots with grey and purple armor, glowing yellow eyes, pink faces resembling a giant robotic human in cylindrical armor.

These six machines are Sentinel Mk VI. They are Robotic agents of the government, designed specifically as mutant trackers and hunters. They became enemies of humanity in another time line killing humans to prevent more mutants from being born.

Ichigo and Inuyasha on the Strawberry Dog bus hold there huge swords tightly, knowing from the Power Pack how dangerous Sentinels can be, especially to a bunch of mutant children.

"Don't worry about them." comes a female voice.

The voice belongs to a Indian Woman standing five-foot-nine with black eyes and long black hair. She's dressed in white and black body suit with red upper legs and round white cybernetic interfaces with red lights in the center of each one.

Karima Shapandar was born in Indian and was a police officer until she into an Omega Prime Sentinel by Bastion of the Operation: Zero Tolerance program. She learned she a human transformed into a sentinel and set up as a 'sleeper' agent, unaware of her programming until a nearby mutant activated her. She was forced to push her almost-boyfriend Neal Shaara's mutant powers activated. He used his pyrokinesis as a hero named Thunderbird and Karima was later freed of her Sentinel Programming by the two mutant leaders Professor Charles Xavier and Magneto

As a Prime Sentinel, she has advanced cybernetic nanotech responsible for superhuman strength, resistance to injury and regenerative abilities, electrostatic poles mounted on her arms, flight, and a selection of unspecified weapons and mechanisms that retract into her body

"They were constructed in Cyber City and programmed to act as guards instead of hunters or assassins. The more powerful citizens of this city and the council were able to reprogram the ones that were created Halloween. My name is Karima Shapandar, Cyber City Gatekeeper for Gate One."

"So what's the deal?" asks Buffy

"The city is divided into Citizens, Visitors, and the Watched. The Watched are people and creatures who enter our city and are kept under surveillance until there Files clear. Until then, there access to city is very limited. Visitors have cleared security Files and have medium level access. Citizens are people who become part of out city and have full access except for the high security areas.'

'Everyone on your bus will be given a ID tags, which will allow you to access certain areas and will allow the city to keep track of you. Before you can complain, everyone one and thing has ID tags. It's important to keep track, when Ninety people enter the city not including pets."

In a few minutes, each person is quickly interviewed under lie detectors and biometric data, such as fingerprints, eye retinas and irises, DNA, facial patterns and hand measurements are recorded into the computers. They are each injected with Radio-frequency identification (RFID) tags and given metal bracelets produced from a rapid prototyper.

"We want to set up relationships with our colony, Sunnydale, in the South." says Buffy looking at the new bracelet on her wrist, which is made of metal with a flat bar-code imprinted on one side. There are also the words, O:Summers, Buffy Anne. H:Selene-Underworld. BH MO. ID: W581-521-661

"Origin Buffy Anne Summers. Halloween: Selene from Underworld. Body Halloween Dominant Mind Origin Dominant. Watched number 581-521-661." explains Karima, she holds up her own which reads, O:Unknown H:Shapandar, Karima - X-Men BH MH ID:C455137 "Halloween mind and body dominant. Citizen 455137."

"How many Citizens are there??" asks Dawn, rubbing her shoulder.

A machine on the wall resembling a cylinder-shaped tower with a flat round head on top pops up from the ground. It's goggle-like eyes light up and the rubbery mouth gives the answer

"As of today, there are 5,765, 820 Citizens"

"That's huge! Bigger than LA!" says Buffy

"Los Angeles, California had a population of 3,485,398 in Census Year 1990. Current Human Population: Under 3500."

Karima hits the top of the machine causing it to retract back into the ground. Learning a city now had a population less than it did in 1860 is very depressing.

"Anyway, if you want to go to the Inter Colony Bureau. Take Road 34 to sector B45."

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Cybercafé
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Pre-Halloween. An Internet café or cybercafé is a place where one can use a computer with Internet access, most for a fee, usually per hour or minute; sometimes one can have un-metered access with a pass for a day or month, etc. It may serve as a regular café as well, with food and drinks being served.

During Halloween, the networks and the unshielded active computers world wide were destroyed by electromagnetic pulses caused by the red sky. The only computers that survived were not turned on, heavily shielded, or created by Halloween. When Cyber City was founded scavengers and refugees used to electronics and computers moved to the city bring there surviving machines and computer files.

Post Halloween. The Cybercafé is a place where one can use a computer with access Cyber City Information archives and city computer network for a small metered fee if your a visitor or monthly pass if your a Citizen. There is a place where with food and drinks being served for organic customers and it's also one the best places to get coffee and tea, outside of coffee shops built into the main library and the book store.

Currently, there are a dozen people in the café enjoying the pleasant atmosphere.

The first is a very lazy looking fifteen year old man standing over five foot with brown eyes and black haired tied back into a spiky ponytail He's dressed in a long sleeve black shirt and pants that end in fishnet. He also wears a green flak jacket, sandal-shoes, a throwing dagger holster strapped to his right leg by white bandages, and a pack of cigarette in his pocket.

His name is Shikamaru Nara, a lazy Chunin (Journeyman level ninja) from Konohagakure no Sato. He was known as the laziest student at the Ninja Academy, to lazy to even pick up a pen to write a test. He is also a genius with a IQ over two hundred. When he passed and became a Genin, he was placed on a team with his best friend Chouji Akimichi - a boy who was taunted because of his weight, but a very loyal and brave person, and Ino Yamanaka - a very loud Kunoichi with an obsession with bad boy Sasuke Uchiha. There parents had been a very successful team and the village hoped so would they under the sensei Asuma Sarutobi, the chain-smoking son of Sandaime Hokage (Third Leader Fire Shadow).

Despite the doubts of others, Shikamaru proved himself. In the Chunin Selection Exam, he defeated illusionist/needle throwing Sound kunouchi Kin in the Prelims and would have defeated Sand Kunouchi Temari in Finals if he hadn't run out of Chakra and had been forced to quit. It was the tactics he demonstrated in those fights that had him promoted to Chunin.

He remembers his two greatest failures. The first was his first mission as a Chunin to retrieve traitor Sasuke from the Sound Ninja. It was failure and his entire team of Genin nearly died, including his best friend. The second was a battle with the Akatsuki’s team of Hidan and Kakuzu, two people that boasted near-immortality. A battle which ended in the death of Asuma at the hands of Hidan.

Shikamaru was the one that defeated Hidan, blasting the Missing Nin to pieces and burying him. He also promised Kurenai, Asuma's pregnant wife, he would be there for her baby. It was shortly after that mission and talk that he woke up on Halloween day.

Suddenly, the computer screen which had been showing white clouds moving across a blue sky as a screen-saver shifts to show four inactive online games, two Go and two chess. There's also an alert window opened up.

"Mendokusee..." (How troublesome)

Five other people react more severely to the news.

The first is a fifteen year old woman standing five-foot-two, ninety nine pounds, with black eyes and long orange-brown hair. She also wears a tight white shirt showing her large bust and brown pants with arm bands and flowery hair clips.

The second is a fifteen year old woman standing five-foot-one, a hundred nine pounds with brown eyes and thick shoulder-length black hair. She's currently dressed in a green trim sailor seifuku - a Japanese school uniform resembling a sailor outfit.She's also carrying a bow and quiver of arrows.

The third is a eighteen year old man standing five-foot-five with chin-length blond hair and gold eyes. He's dressed in a white-edged black uniform with black boots, white gloves, and a red coat with an odd symbol on the back resembling a snake around a cross, and an odd pocket watch with a dragon-like symbol engraved on it.

The fourth is a seven foot three suit of heavy green-gray medieval armor with a pale blue apron, three spikes coming from each shoulder, and one spike coming from the forehead. It also has white eyes, a white ribbon extending from the top of the helmet, and serpent/cross symbol in red on the shoulders.

The fifth is a child standing four foot eleven with violet eyes, pale skin, and thick black hair reaching his hip and covering one of his eyes. Hes dressed in a black top that exposes his stomach, black shorts, black wrist protectors that leave the fingers exposed, and shin protectors that leave feet exposed. The strangest thing about the kid is his right arm and left leg a few inches below the hip have a grey tone.

"Ichigo/Inuyasha is here!?" says the Orihime Inoue and Kagome Higurashi.

Orihime found herself in a small town shortly after her rescue from Aizen and Hueco Mundo (the Hollow World). She used her shikigami Shun Shun Rikka to help people against the Halloween horrors. Using Santen Kesshun to protected the innocent from the demons using a spiritual barrier. Souten Kisshun can erase all negative events inflicted upon anything within the barrier, allowing her to heal others and even raise the dead. Koten Zanshun is a technique that creates a barrier inside a target slicing it in half.

On her fifteenth birthday, Kagome Higurashi was pulled into the Bone Eater's Well by a centipede demon. The well was a portal in time to the Sengoku period of feudal Japan. It was here that she found the half-demon, InuYasha, in a coma and sealed to the Tree of Ages by a sacred arrow shot from the priestess Kikyo for fifty years. Kagome removed the arrow from his chest, freeing InuYasha and that was the beginning their adventures.

In time, she, Inuyasha, and a small group of friends protected the innocent searching for the shards of the Skikon-no-Tama (Jewel of Four Souls), a mystical crystal that can corrupt a human heart or increase a demon's power. Time after time, they fought the evil half demon Naraku who is responsible for most the evils committed. In the end, Naraku was destroyed and the complete Shikon no Tama was purified, erasing it's existence.

She used her enhanced miko powers to help the people and other heroes, using her sacred arrows to destroy attacking demons and eventually made friends with Orihime. They make a good team since Orihime is defensive in nature, while Kagome has strong offensive abilities

The blond and the suit of armor are brothers Edward and Alphonse Elric. When they were children, there mother died and they tried the forbidden, human transmutation, the use of alchemy to bring back the dead. The experiment not only failed to restore Trisha Elric, but Ed lost his left leg and his brother Alphonse lost his entire body. To save his brother, Ed sacrificed his right arm to bind Alphonse's soul to a nearby suit of armor.

Ed vowed to restore his brother's body and after being prosthetic limbs called Automail from his neighbor Winry Rockbell, he traveled to the capital with his brother to become a state alchemist. As a member of the military, he had access to there vast resources and knowledge of alchemy. he also gained the name Steel Alchemist or more common Fullmetal Alchemist.

He had many adventures searching for legendary Philosopher's Stone and fighting the super-powered inhuman Homunculi and others that sought the stone. In the end, Alphonse became the Stone and used it's power to bring Ed back to life after he was killed by the Homunculus Envy. Then, Ed sacrificed himself to bring Alphonse back to life as a human.

Years later, Edward in another world and Alphonse with the help of Homunculi Wrath managed to open a gate between worlds and were reunited. The last thing they remember was searching for a uranium bomb created in there world in that other world after destroying the gate between worlds.

They woke to find Alphonse once more trapped in a suit of armor with a complete set of memories and Edward back in the uniform of a State Alchemist. At first they thought they were in hell, but in time they learned they were created from other people, body and souls.

In Cyber City, they look for other methods of creating a body for Alphonse, ones that don't involve Alchemy. Now they are shocked to learn his old commander Mustang, Mustang's assistant Riza Hawkeye, the late Maes Hughes, and there feared teacher/mother figure Izumi Curtis have arrived.

Alphonse somehow pales with metal armor for skin and Edward looks white.

The last person is Wrath, a homunculus created by Izumi Curtis. Izumi's child was still born and she tried to bring it back to life using alchemy and it's own dead body, it resulted in the creation of malformed Homunculus baby. She with tears in her eyes sent Wrath to the Gates of Alchemy, but Wrath returned years later with Edward's missing limbs. The limbs allowed the Homunculus to do Alchemy, something impossible for other soulless Homunculi.

In the end, his mother figure Sloth (created from Trisha Elric) was destroyed and he lost his acquired limbs for defying Dante, the master of the Homunculi. Wrath wanted to restore his surrogate mother, but Dante needed to stone to transfer her soul to another body, as she has done threw the centuries. Winry gave him auto-mail limbs and he lived near Izumi until she died of her condition.

The last thing he remembers was fighting the giant Gluttony and sacrificing himself to open the gate between worlds. The last image was his "mother" Izumi waiting at the Gates for him. Now, he stares at the names on the screen with tears in his eyes.

"Mommy..."

Two other figures are concerned with the new arrivals.

One is a tall athletic woman with blue/purple eyes and hair, with her hair done in a thick above-shoulder style with the hair sweeping forward on the side of the head and curling above the eyes. She's dressed in a grey body suit covering everything below the neck with addition dark grey high collar armored vest and leg armor, black fingerless gloves with thick wrists, and black boots

Major Motoko Kusanagi, a former member of Public Security Section 9, an elite counter-terrorist and anti-crime unit specializing in cyber warfare. She's a cyborg with a highly reinforced full prosthetic body that grants enhanced strength, Therm-optic active camouflage, and Real-time cyberbrain hacking capability. Combined with her combat experience from tour of duty in JGSDF, Martial arts expert, and high intelligence makes her a lethal fighter and perfect for the job of Cyber City Security.

The other is a young woman standing five foot three with a slim build, green eyes, and dirty blond hair. She's dressed in a pink shirt, white shirt, and black shoes with a black leather jacket. She also has a weird smile on her very familiar face.

Buffy-bot is an android duplicate of Slayer Buffy Anne Summers created by Warren Mears as a sex toy for the vampire Spike, who is obsessed with Buffy. She was the first strike and distract Hell Goddess Glory from the real Buffy. After a few minutes of battle, the Bot is decapitated by Glory and the real Buffy then reveals herself. She was also used as a replacement during the time Buffy was deceased.

In her time line, a surge in mystical energy opened a small dimensional tear caused the destroyed Buffy-bot to be pulled in and appear in the area that would become Cyber City. She was reconstructed by some of the other citizens and he demon dex was downloaded into the city defenses.

She is curious about how the original will react to her. She can be curious because with the repairs came many upgrades which have made her far more human.
.
The last three don't look like people you would find in a place of high technology. You can tell by the frowns on there faces as they drink there orders, they have a dislike of technology.

The first is a young man with dark brown eyes and short brown hair. He's dressed in a dark blue shirt covered by short sleeve blue coat tied at the waist. He wears tan pants with blue lower leg guards and yellow boots. He also carries a long bow and a quiver of arrows, and there's an odd red hood and mask near his cup of tea.

The second is a thirteen year old girl with black eyes and long black hair done in a short haircut with a red hair ribbon. She's dressed in a white shirt with billowing pink pants. Around her neck is an eerie glowing blue jewel on a necklace. On the gemstone is a gold marking resembling a bird.

The third is a similar young woman with brown eyes and short brown hair. She's dressed in a blue outfit with knee high blue boots and blue gloves. There's also a small dark brown animal on her shoulder with large green eyes and long pointed ears.

There names are Prince Ashitaka, Lusheeta Toelle Ul Laputa, Princess of lost flying city of Laputa and Nausicaa, Princess of the valley of the wind, respectively.

Prince Ashitaka came from a small village of nearby extinct Emishi Tribe that was attacked by a boar demon. He was cursed killing the demon and traveled north to find a cure. What he found was a city of iron with advance weapons at war with an ancient forest of old gods. The humans wanted the iron under the mountain, while the spirits wanted to protect the forest. It was a piece of iron that turned the forest into the rampaging Boar God into a demon with it's pain and hatred.

In the end, he was cured when he helped the Mononoke Princess San return the head of Shishigami (Forest Spirit) ending it's existence as a god of death. Ashitaka returned to rebuild Iron town with respect for nature, while his beloved San continued to protect the forest as her adopted mother, the Wolf God Moro did.

Lusheeta Toelle Ul Laputa, known as Sheeta to most people, is a descendant of Laputa's royal line. The city of Laputa floated in the sky using extremely advance technology powered by the rare almost supernatural element Etherium. The people possessed vast riches, were tended and protected by humanoid robots, and if threatened the city could produce fire blasts so powerful they could destroy cities or small islands. The people of Laputa learned they were being consumed by there etherium technology and returned to the Earth to reconnect with it.

Sheeta's peaceful life in the mountains was interrupted when Muska, another descendant of Laputa, tried to require the power of Laputa to become a conquering King. He even tricked the military using tales of Laputa's vast riches and science. She was saved by the miner boy Pazu and together they defeated Muska and freed Laputa from the earth.

Nausicaa came from a post-apocalyptic world. A world where the ancient world had been destroyed by pollution, nuclear weapons, and giant bioweapons known as God Warrior (kyoshinhei) in seven days of fire. A world now being consumed by a toxic jungle of giant fungi, protected by giant insects. It was her who learned the jungle's purpose was to clean the world of human's pollution and the one who discovered the paradise beneath the jungle. She served a prophecy, ending the wars between the nations of humanity and the insects losing her life only to be restored by the supernatural power of the giant insects.

Now, all three of them, not including Nausaicaa's pet fox-squirrel are inside of a city of endless technology. A place where even the people are made of metal and they are separated from there loved ones. They hope to find a means of transportation to go South to the more Spiritual areas in hopes of finding San, Pazu, and Prince Milo, and other places without the sickening feel of high technology.

Outside the Cybercafé, Dawn is having a "talk" with the drivers. Namely, she's giving them orders with four glowing red eyes and her cape swirling around her like black shadowy tentacles.

"We are stopping for directions!"

----------------------------------------------------------------------
The Tour - The Leaders
----------------------------------------------------------------------

The older Orihime nearly squeezed the life out of Ichigo and Willow, and she's referring to little shinigami Orihime as a little sister. Kagome spend several minutes kissing Inuyasha, until the rest of Inuyasha's group and Shiori started giggling.

The Ametris group had different reactions to Ed, Alphonse, and Wrath. Izumi and Wrath had a tearful reunion, then she introduced Wrath to his new brother Gabriel Most were upset that Alphonse was back in the armor again, but Al explained he was getting help, not Alchemy, but pure science. The Fullmetal Alchemist and his brother were happy to see Maes alive again, but not Mustang when said he was actually surprised that Ed grew a little. What shut up the famous duo was Riza's pregnancy, which caused them to faint.

Major Kusanagi then greeted the buses, since they were causing disturbances and arranged tours and meetings to help them understand how Cyber City works.

The Bus Leaders Buffy, Willow, Oz, and Janna stand before the Leaders of Cyber City after a chaotic reunion at the Cybercafé.

"Machina is run by a council of representatives from each group sector and lead by Trinity Prime and Dr. Spica." explains Major Kusanagi, "Most decisions don't need debates in a machine run city."

"Thank you, Motoko."

The first three are the ones that talked, together in perfect harmony. The one who Trinity Prime is actually three giant robots connected to form a group mind.

Before the dawn of time, Order and Chaos existed within an extra-dimensional entity known as the One. To explore the new universe, he created the astral being known as Unicron, and then subdivided him, creating his twin, Primus. Both brothers were multiversal singularities, unique in all realities, but whereas Unicron could only exist in one dimension at a time, moving between them at will, Primus existed simultaneously in all realities at once. It is suggested, in fact, that the two brothers embody the basic concepts of reality - good and evil, order and chaos - and that their continued existence is necessary for the stability of the multi-verse.

The two came into the conflict and eventually after jumping between the astral plane and the physical plane, they both appeared metallic planetoids, leaving them both trapped.

On Unicorn's world, the dark god became to psionically shape his prison into a giant metallic planet,even manipulating a scientist named ancient genius Primacron into creating his new body as the devourer of worlds.

Primus did the same to counter, becoming the mechanical world of Cybertron. He eventually manipulated evil mechanoids the Quintessons into using Cybertron as a factory world to create two lines of humanoid robots. One was a line of robots designed for domestic duties and labor and the other was a line designed for military use. Thirteen of those robots became living machines, each one infused with a fragment of Primus's life essence known as a spark.

In time, the Quintessons were able to infuse life into there machines. In time, the oppressed sentient machines rebelled and removed the Quintessons from Cybertron. Problems occurred over time as the military machines, now known as Decepticons, influenced by Unicorn began a campaign of conquest against the domestic/consumer line known as Autobots. This war lead to the ability of transforming to alternate vehicle modes which lead an alternate name for Cybertronians, Transformers.

The first robot has a red and blue masked face, a red upper body with metallic white marking and dark blue hands, and dark blue lower legs with upper legs and lower torso white with yellow markings. He's a huge robot looking like he was created from a cab over semi truck including have wheels on his legs, exhaust pipes in his arms, and blue glass windows and polished grill on his chest and upper torso.

His name is Optimus Prime. He was original a civilian named Orion Pax, until he was tricked and badly damaged by the Decepticons. He was rebuilt as a warrior and given The Autobot Matrix of Leadership, a talisman linking to the realm known as the Matrix resting place Primus's spark and the place were all sparks originate and all sparks will return. He became the inspiring leader of autobots against the war with the Decepticons.

The reason Optimus Prime looks like a semi-truck is because millions of years ago, while looking for new energy sources in the Sol system, the Autobot ship Ark battled Decepticon warship Nemesis and both crashed to earth. For millions of years, the Autobots and Decepticons were in status lock, a suspended hibernation mode used to prevent further damage until they can be repaired.

In the 1980s, the eruption of the volcano the Ark was buried in caused the ship's computer Teletran-1 to awaken and repair both crews using scans of local human technology to create new alternate modes. The Decepticons were first receiving forms based on machines at a local military base and the Autobots ended up with various automobiles and civilian vehicles.

He fought many years against Megatron and the Decepticon Army with his team of Autobots. He was even dead, killed during the Battle of Autobot City, and later resurrected to stop a Hate Plague ravaging the world. The last thing he remembers is dying a second time to awaken Vector Sigma, Primus's mainframe.

The second robot resembles a gorilla that has been the subject of cybernetic experiments. His body is a mix of dark organic Gorilla fused with odd colored cybernetic parts such as gold color forearm implants.

His name is Maximal leader Optimus Primal. The Maximals are descendants of Autobots from years after the great war. They replaced there immense energy consuming automobile forms with smaller, more advance animal-based modes. He was originally an explorer, until he was forced to chased Megatron, a Predicon - Decepticon descendant- criminal who had stole an item called a Golden Disk.

This lead to a war between the two groups after being stranded on what they later learned was prehistoric Earth, a point after the Ark crashed, but before humans evolved from the hominids. They went threw many changes, including Primal absorbing Prime's spark for a short period to save Optimus' life after he was nearly destroyed by the insane Megatron.

After the war, the Maximals used an autobot shuttle to return to Cybertron and there own time, with the giant draconic Megatron, a prisoner and bolted to the hull. Megatron managed to escape into the time stream before the shuttle could reach Cybertron reappearing in Cybertron's past.

The Maximals arrived to find Cybertron conquered by Megatron's Vehicon army after using a virus to disable the entire population. Vector Sigma sent visions from the matrix to Optimus Primal which allowed them to convert there original beast modes, which had devolved due to the virus, into new techno-organic bodies. They were given a mission, to restore organic life to Cybertron and restore the sparks of it's people.

In the end, Primal remembers falling into Cybertron's organic core with Megatron using his power to trigger the conversion of Cybertron into techno-organic.

The third is a mix of Primal and Prime with a blue and red mechanic ape-like humanoid form. It's so much larger than the others, Optimus Prime's truck form could fit inside the chest.

Primal Prime was, essentially, the Living Matrix. He was when the alien Vok sensed more threats to the time line after Optimus Primal and the maximals had already left. The used there knowledge combined with detritus left aboard the Ark, and life-giving energies from the Matrix of Leadership and created Primal Prime to lead the resurrected Maximals Tigatron and Airazor.against the enemy.

Primal Prime possessing great power and understanding. He was literally an army of one, able to assume multiple alternate modes, all of which are armed, deadly, and mobile. He was a conglomeration of Primes, assembled into a single, mighty force for good. Later, when all hope was nearly lost and he was fatally injured during a another series of battles, his friend Apeling fused with him to become the powerful entity Sentinel Prime.

It wasn't until all three Primes appeared in this world did they learn the truth of there existence.

The purpose of Optimus Prime and his heir Rodimus Prime was to destroy Unicorn's physical body and to stop those influenced by his power, the Decepticon Leader Megatron and his insane Unicorn crafted form of Galvatron.

The purpose of Optimus Primal was stop Megatron's spiritual successor and the children of Galvatron from destroying time and change the nature of Cybertron to prevent Unicorn's manipulation of there pure mechanical forms.

The purpose of Primal Prime was the purpose of the matrix, the purpose of Primal. To stop Unicorn and his spawn such as zombified-arachnid Tarantulas and Predacon leaders.

There purpose is protect Light and Creation and so they Protect Machina as Trinity Prime.

The fourth Leader is the city's engineer. A young woman with a body sheathed in metallic substance. Her eyes and bare skin are polished silver color with cable-like tendrils for hair. She also as a pleated headdress, spiny forearm protectors, and boot-like feet.

Angela Spica was genius working on human-machine interfaces. When the original engineer died, Angela "Angie" Spica's home computer filled up with all his nanotechnology notes and started linking it to her work in human-machine fusion. She distilled an incalculable number of intelligent devices into nine pints of liquid machinery and replaced her blood with it. This nanotechnology gives her vast mechanical abilities: the liquid metal covers her body at will, allows her to fly and to create many things, such as radio-telepathy bugs, weaponry, rocket engines, replacement lungs to cope with unfamiliar atmospheres and even additional copies of herself.

She was originally a founding member of the brutal superhuman group, the Authority, who had the habit of slaughtering there super villian opponents.

Now she used her Nanite Absorption/Morphing, the ability to grow weapons and other equipment of the most advanced technology at will, taking the raw materials from the environment around her. This combined with the knowledge and technology of the other various cyborgs and machines obtained by cyberpathy and nanite interface was used to create Machina from the ruins of the old world in a very short period of time.

"You want to set up diplomatic relationships with us?" asks Dr. Spica looking up from her notes.

"Machina possesses the most advance technology, but Sunnydale was the greatest diversity and knowledge of the supernatural." explains Janna, "We are also forming a relationship with a magic rich colony in the South."

The politicians may be super-powered god-like machines, but it doesn't stop them from being extremely boring.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
The Tour - The Science Heads
----------------------------------------------------------------------

The Ametris Group have arrived in one of the Science Building.

"This is the Science Head, Data, second in command to Council Head Dr. Spica." says Edward Elric, "He's the one who is helping Al create a new body"

"Greetings. It's pleasure to meet you all."

The man in question is five foot eleven with gold eyes, white skin, and combed black hair. He's dressed in amber/black shirt and black pants. He also moves in semi-mechanical fashion.

His name is Data, Lieutenant Commander Data of second Officer/Science Officer, U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-E. Data is an advance Android created on Omicron Theta science colony by Dr. Noonien Soong and Dr. Juliana O'Donnell Soong Tainer and was permanently reactivated after the Colony's destruction by the Crystalline entity on Feb. 2, 2338. He had a interesting Star fleet Career esp since 2364, when he was named as operations officer and second officer on U.S.S. Enterprise, under Capt. Jean-Luc Picard . In 2365, he was declared a sentient life form, not property of Star fleet. In 2368, he was given temporarily in command of U.S.S. Sutherland and detected Romulan interference in Klingon civil war In 2372, he transferred with remainder of Picard's senior staff to Sovereign-class U.S.S. Enterprise

Data was always wanted to be human and with his numerous missions, he has come close. He was able to retrieve a emotion chip created by Dr. Noonien Soong before his death, granting him the ability to feel and express human emotions. He was able to experience human feeling and sensation in 2373, resisting assimilation by infamous Borg. Finally, in 2379, he sacrificed himself aboard Reman ship Scimitar in order to destroy Thalaron beam generator and save crew of Enterprise-E. An act that made him human by dying like one.

It was after Scimitar that he found himself on this world in the area that would become Machina

"You seem more human than on TV." says Robert, "More like the Movies."

"Yes. The movies take place after the TV series and I was able to repair and install my father's emotion chip. When I awoke in this world, I still possessed the emotion chip and recent upgrades have increased my various abilities."

"Why is your skin still white then?"

"Dr. Spica was able to equip me with synthetic skin able to feel sensations, but didn't feel the need for new pigmentation and I have not found a reason to modify it."

Izumi looks at the machine oddly, then asks, "Do you have a soul, Data?"

"Yes. I recently learned that I do possesses one. It's harder to detect than the anti-proton charged sparks of Cybertronians, but several techno-mages have confirmed it's existence in me." says Data with a smile, "It's also this soul technology that will help Alphonse Elric."

"How??" asks several people.

Data presses a couple buttons on the console/table he's sitting at and a wall opens to reveal a window. Beyond the window is a complex lab filled with liquid-filled tanks and complex machines.

Inside the center tank, floating in the fetal position, is a fourteen year old boy with closed eyes and short gold-brown hair. He looks completely human except for several connecting wires and IV tubes, and a dark grey device on the shoulders. There are also odd marking on points on the body.

"What the??" says Roy

"What is that?" says Maes covering Elisa's eyes.

"That is a bioroid. A clone of Alphonse Elric organic human form created from Edward's DNA. The only major difference is the cyber-link connected to his spine. The plan is to transfer Alphonse soul from armor blood seal to a modified core that's inserted into the bioroid interface."

"Wait! Didn't Dante's body rot from transfers??" says Roy remembering what information he could get after the older Elric was lost the other world and Al lost his memories.

"The science you call Alchemy is powered by spiritual energy, so when a soul is transfered using alchemy part of it's energy is drained. The theory is decay experienced by Dante was the result of repeated damage to her soul effecting her body.'

'Most souls are fragile outside a body, so they either form an ectoplasmic body in the form of a ghost or are placed in containers. Cybertronian house there sparks in chambers called laser core that transfer energy into them to keep them active. The modified core would allow Al's soul to recover spiritual energy preventing the decay caused by the blood seal."

Izumi is reminded of Willow and Ichigo's group's explanation of Gigai. The faux bodies that Shinigami use to interact with the physical world and to recover there lost energy.

"How will you be able to transfer from the blood seal?" asks Roy

Suddenly, there is a crash outside and the group step out to find two robots on there sides near a trash bin.

One is humanoid with a flying saucer-shaped gold head with a red visor and a red body with yellow highlights and a lighting bolt light on the chest. He also blue and gold mechanical arms and legs

The Other is a short cylinder-shaped droid with a dome-like head with a red eye, two large legs with treads and a shorter leg in the front. It's painted blue and white, and unlike the other robot is making loud beeping noises.

"Alpha Five? R2-D2?" asks Robert

"Why are you two here?" asks Data, actually looking annoyed.

The next to arrive is a beautiful seventeen year old woman standing five foot six with red eyes and long blue hair going past her waist. She's dressed in a white and blue armored uniform with gold extras She looks like she was following the other two.

"KOS-MOS?"

She is a Anti-Gnosis fighting android, name Anti-Gnosis Humanoid Fighting System #00-00-00-00-1, Development name KP-X. She is also known as KOS-MOS. An autonomous android, fitted with black-box weapons systems, KOS-MOS was to be deployed to combat the threat of ghostly enemies known as Gnosis.She may be one of most powerful weapons systems ever built in her universe, but she also a loyal Machina Citizen and hard worker outside of battle.

"Sorry, Mr. Data. R2 ran off before we could complete repairs and Alpha wasn't agile enough. The news is Helper has been repaired, the lasers of R.O.B. have been replaced, and we are ready for Mr. Elric's operation."

"How were you able to repair Jonas Venture's Helpful Electronic Lab Partner Robot so quickly?"

"From the waist up it resembles a 3D-4 administrative droid from the Star Wars universe So we used a 3D-4 as a replacement shell. We are now running virus scans."

The nanny robot may have collapsible armor plating, two twin machine guns, a spinning blade, and flame thrower, but that doesn't mean he's ready to handle a rogue Sentinel robot. HELPeR charged blindly and was stomped by the robot's giant armored foot.

"R.O.B.'s lasers were easy enough to replace. Johnny 5 is taking care of him now."

The Ametris group sweat-drops as the two androids get into long discussion stalking about Saints, utility pack, and lithium-argon liquid verses ultra compact batteries.

The Tour - Security
----------------------------------------------------------------------

In another building Major Kusanagi is showing seven other groups the security forces of Cyber City. The group is lead by Dawn, Light, Nightwing, Vash Stampede, and Gamma Akutabi and include the Glasses, Upper Half with Shiori currently with Inuyasha's group, Mon-Stars, Gunsmoke, Gamma, Starfire, and Misa following them.

"You already met one of the Gatekeepers." says the Major, "Machina's security is divided into Gate Keepers, City Defense, Internal Security, and Patrol. Gatekeepers protect the wall, act as the city's first line of defense, and monitors what enters and exits the cities."

"Is everyone in the city tagged and scanned?" asks Light

"Yes. We have files on everyone and everyone can be tracked down in seconds. If someone does have codes, they must have entered the city illegally.'

'Defense is the Machina army, the various soldiers and machines that defend the city from external threats like attacking demons and raiders.'

'Every since Halloween, humanity has devolved into barbarians, scavenging and stealing from other colonies. The hordes attack the more successful colonies, but mostly fail since that success is do to the colonies strength. It's survival of fittest to the extreme.'

'Internal Security is the Police handling internal problems from rogue machines to criminal activities, which include thefts, murder, and cyber crime."

"Cyber crime as in??" asks Crawford

"Hacking and cyber terrorism. It's a major crime in Machina since everyone is physically monitored. People try to manipulate citizens and non-sentient robots into doing there crimes or try to hack into systems to get themselves more money or supplies. We have a hundred percent capture rate.

'The Patrols scout out other towns looking for resources, recruits, and possible threats."

"Like spies?" say Gendo

"Correct."

A monitor on The Major's desk beeps.

"My main team has arrived" says the Major, "It's interesting to note, we all know who we were before Halloween and found our personalities haven't changed much. Excuse me."

The first on Motoko's security team is a tall, muscular man with short white hair and cybernetic eyes. He's dressed in black shirt, pants, and shoes with a tan jacket with the sleeves pulled up and black fingerless gloves.

"Batou. Pre-Halloween. He was a trainer like I was at Fort Irwin Military Reservation. One of our troops had a secret passion for manga and as faith would have it, me and Batou found out Halloween night. The manga combined with our state of dress resulted in our transformations in members of the fictional Section 9."

"My dog even got transformed." says Batou with a grin.

The second is a tall man with brown eyes and short brown hair. He's dressed in a white-edge black uniform with a gold resembling a priest's clothing with grey pauldron (shoulder armor), black boots, and white gloves. He also carries a pair of large handguns in holsters secured around the waist.

"H C Tres Iqus. He was originally Lt. Enriquez. A professional soldier known for efficiency in battle, but poor social skills. After his ex wife died, he ended up with custody of his six-year-old daughter. She is the one who gave him a cross to protect him marked with her name Aixa."

Matoko touches the cross and flips it over to reveal a messy name "AiXa" with first "A" and "X" much larger than the letters "I" or the last "A".

"He became one of ten Killing Doll mechanical soldiers created by Vatican scientist Professor Gepetto Garibaldi in 3036. He was saved from destruction and recruited for AX - Vatican special forces -by Cardinal Caterina Sforza, where he now has the code name Gunslinger. Being a battle android, Tres works with an unemotional, relentless efficiency and his functions are mostly limited to combat situations."

"AX?" asks Dawn, "Alessandro XVIII and Augusta Vradica are both in Sunnydale! Actually, Augusta is on the South Mission, but Alessandro runs our holy weapon production factory, the HolyForge."

"HolyForge?" says Batou with a grin.

"I will need to open communications with Alessandro XVIII after this meeting." says Gunslinger with a cold emotionless voice

"His daughter was also altered by Halloween even tho she was safe at home." says Batou, "She possesses the same DNA as the organic half of cybernetic body and also possesses some form of psychometry - The ability to obtain information about an individual through paranormal means by making physical contact with an object that belongs to them."

Motoko gives him a odd disapproving look.

The third is a tall, very muscular man in his thirties to forties with golden eyes and spiky silver grey hair with sideburns. He's dressed in a dark clothing with a black trench coat and dark hat with a yellow rim. It makes him look like an old style detective from films or modern detective novels.

"J. Pre-Halloween, he was a private detective Jack Joseph Johnson. He styled himself after a hero from a private eye novel to attract and impress clients. It's ironic that he was transformed into Heat Guy J, an very powerful android created in cooperation between a government facility and a civilian enterprise.'

'Despite his hulking size, J can run at enormous speeds and packs a powerful punch. However, after prolonged bouts of action, J must cool himself down by venting a great deal of superheated air from pipes mounted on his shoulders. Hence the nickname."

The fourth is a young athletic man with black eyes and short thick black hair covering his ears. He also has a cybernetic right arm. He's dressed in a green shirt, tan pants, and sneakers.

"Ichise and his pre-Halloween self Ichiro Sen were both street fighters who participates in underground fight clubs for money and earned the name Stray Dog. He was attacked Halloween night and if he survived, he would have had to amputate an arm and a leg. Ichise who lost an arm and leg in his world, went threw the a texhnolyze procedure, so the mangled limbs converted to prosthetics."

"The last I remember is dying in an empty city." says Ichise, "What ever person I was in this world would have died according to the amount of blood I was lying in. I arrived in Machina, when my limbs stopped working, but they were able to alter my Texhnolyzes."

The next four members are quadruplets. They are all the young beautiful identical girls, the same height with red eyes and shoulder-length black hair. They have very attractive forms, but they have full prosthetic cyborg bodies, below there head they are completely robotic (mechanical). Only there thin robotic fingers can be scene threw there clothing.

The first is dressed in a dark blue sleeveless jumpsuit with boots, fingerless black gloves, a tan duster, and leather wrapping covering her lower legs.

"Gally"

The second is dressed is a black armored outfit with large roller blades for feet and red and yellow features like for a sporting event.

"Alita"

The third is dressed in a dark blue dress with black stocking, black shoes, fingerless gloves, and the same tan duster.

"Yoko"

The last is dressed in a full body black jumpsuit covering everything except fingers and head with knee-high armored boots and a long white cape/coat.

"Yukito"

"The Ido girls." says the four together, making the non-Machina sweat-drop.

"Chiaki, Chiharu, Chika, and Chihiro were a group of identical quadruplets of Japanese descent. They decided to dress as the heroine Gally from the manga series Gunnm, known in the states as Alita of Battle Angel Alita. The Halloween event transformed them completely, but it couldn't create four identical copies. Normally, the energy wave would separate same costumes based on personality or physical traits.'

' The quadruplets were identical physically except for minor details like fingerprints and retina scans and there personalities were so much alike they could be ghost doubled clones. So the energy created them as Gally but during four separate moments in her life. Berserker, Motorball, TUNED, and Imaginos."

"It didn't last long." sat the four as one, "TUNED and Imaginos are nanomachine based. Our bodies now possess the plasma emission and electromagnetic manipulation abilities of the Berserker, the flexibility of Motorball without losing the power and weaponry, the speed and weaponry of TUNED body, and color-changing and shape-altering abilities of Imaginos. We only look different now to illustrate."

"Did it also give you a group mind?" asks Gendo

"No." says Yoko by herself, "We just like messing with people."

The groups excluding Tres and the twins Amy and May glare at the Ido girls.

"Where did 'Ido' come from?"says Wolfgina, her reporter nature acting up.

"Dr. Daisuke Ido. He is a cybernetics physician or cyberphysician, a doctor who specializes in operations on cyborgs who lived in The Scrapyard. Ido also had a second line of work as a hunter-warrior, a bounty hunter." explains the Major, "He is a former citizen of Tiphares, the great floating city suspended over The Scrapyard. He is responsible for restoring Alita after finding her in the Tiphares dump heap, a massive pile of garbage ejected from Tiphares."

"He's now a citizen of Machina." says Yukito, "He remembers us, well most of us. He doesn't anything after his death by Zapan, so he doesn't known me."

The other three Ido girl places comforting hands on there sisters.

The object on the desk beeps again.

"The Patrols are in."

The first is a young woman standing five foot nine with cold blue eyes and long straight blond hair that falls to just above her shoulders.. She's dressed in a white shirt, black pants, and black vest with boots and black gloves. The other is an eight year old girl with brown eyes and long blue-purple hair. She's wearing a red shirt with white over-halls and a winged yellow cape with the name Arale on it. She also wears sneakers.

"Toriyama Team: Android 18 and Arale Norimaki. Report."

"Nothing important on this mission. The village was abandoned and the only remaining life were a few Jack O Lantern monsters."

"They were fun to play with." chirp Arale

The next two are a sixteen year old woman with amber eyes and long brown hair and a ten year old with lavender eyes and hair. The first is dressed in a red and gold outfit with one black clad left leg, red boots with ankle protectors, and long black gloves. The other is a dark blue over light blue outfit with white leggings, brown cowboy boots, and powder blue gloves. She also wears a red ribbon around her neck and her hair is in an odd style with the braid hanging from the right side.

"ES Team. Éclair and Lumière. Report."

"Six more silver-skin gynoids." says Éclair, "Like how many people were into robot Fetish!".

The Mayor wonders how someone around two hundred fifty years can be so immature, then she remembers this girl also had her memories erased multiple times. Vast strength, regeneration, and energy projection, but can be so childish.

"I managed to obtain a large amount of computer data from there human homes that could be of us." says Lumière, the professional one, with a controlled mind, wit and her ability to control any computer unit. She may look like a child, but she's two hundred years old and unlike her partner, possesses all of her memories.

"You also found those bottles of wine."

"Those are mine."

The Mayor sometimes wonders about her agents, like three or five times a day. I bet monkey face Aramaki is laughing at me from somewhere, she thinks with a sigh.

The next is a group of three. A young man dressed in light blue armored body suit with dark blue robotic feet, hands, and lower torso. He also wears a two-tone blue helmet that leaves his face exposed and his right arm ends in hi tech cannon. The second one is similar with dark purple instead of light blue and red instead of dark blue. He has yellow scarfs on his neck appearing like a cape and fins extending from his helmet. He also has a white crotch area and a green gem in the forehead. The third is the strangest of the three. A bug-eyed malfunctioning robot dressed in a cheap zip-up green dog suit with black ears, legs, and tail, which is useless since the robot is bipedal.

"Team Light. Megaman, Zero, and GIR? What is GIR doing here??" says Motoko glaring at the dancing defective robot.

"Sorry Major." says Megaman, "He followed us on the mission and on the way here."

"Report."

"It's confirmed, the nuclear sites are empty." says Megaman, "We arrived at the Spent Fuel Pool. According to the reading, a week after Halloween, the emergency generators ran out of diesel and the cooling system shut down. The entire building was destroyed but the massive cloud of radioactive steam that should have resulted was absorbed by the red sky."

"That confirms Data's theory that all of the world's nuclear power is being absorbed the red sky phenomenon." says the Major, "I guess it's a good thing considering we don't want massive world wide cancer."

The last two to enter are a thin man standing six feet tall with red eyes and wild brown hair covering one eye and a thin woman standing five foot nine with green eyes and blond hair. They are both dressed in red uniforms with a red coat with four gold buttons, red pants, and gold buckled black belts. They both wear long scarfs, knee high black boots and the man carries a gun in his holster on the right side.

"Team 009. Joe Shimamura, Cyborg 009 and Francoise Arnoul, Cyborg 003. Report."

Joe walks forward and places a group of photos in the Major';s hands.

"We found this group of children in a town to the East. Scanners indicate they are cyborgs but at a 21st century level with shortened life spans and conditioning to be child assassins."

The photos are of five children, each marked by name in white on the front. A twelve year old with long black hair and blue eyes, named Angelina aka Angelica. A twelve year old with blue and long black hair with clips. Fleda Claes Johansson Aka Cleas. A ten year old with short brown hair. Henrietta. A boyish thirteen year old with short blond hair and blue eyes. Rico. A thirteen year old girl with blue eyes, dark skin, and long blond hair in two ponytails. You can also tell she's wearing a black leather jacket. The name reads Triela.

"The sixth girl is also cyborg, but not from the same group.She's some form of bioweapon containing nanomachines that allow her to morph parts of her body into various tools and weapons. The previous five are government built in there world, but Eve is far more advance and powerful."

The last photo is an eleven year old girl with purple eyes and long golden blond hair. She's dressed in a Gothic black dress. The name is Eve.

"The first five will need extensive psychological treatment and even some memory reconstruction due to the chemicals used in there creation. There bodies will cybernetic replacement if there going to live for more than a couple of years.'

'As for number six, she may be a genetically engineered bio-weapon, but all she's missing is her friend Sven. I'm posting a note to th patrols and information brokers to be on the look out for Sven Vollfied and Train Heartnet. They are close to parents as this girl gets."

----------------------------------------------------------------------
The Tour - The Regions
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Inuyasha, Ichigo Kurosaki, Captain Toshiro Hitsugaya, and Leon Garcia de Asturias lead Dark Fantasy Group, Inuyasha Group, Power Pack, and X-Babies to the observation deck.

There guide is a woman named Clea. She's an android resembling a tall, beautiful woman with long straight hair Her entire body including her eyes and hair are beautiful clear crystal, which is clear to see since she isn't wearing any form clothing. The rest of the group doesn't seem to care as there are far more important things in Halloween World

"Hope you don't mind me asking, but what are you?" asks Kira Darc.

"I am a human mind in the body of Glass Crystal Machine. I was was forced into this existence against my will by my own vain mother. I worked as a waitress on the Galaxy Express hoping to make enough money to buy my original body back. I died before I had the chance sacrificing myself for another." says Clea, "I have been reborn in this world and while I will never have my original body, I will soon have a warm, living body. I miss the ability to feel so badly."

"OK." says Kira, "So what's on our part of the Tour."

"The others are seeing Security, you get to see the regions. The different Civilian areas of Machina."

One of the window turns out to be a monitor and shifts from the view outside the building showing the wall and various towers surrounding the central to a map of Machina. She presses one of her clear glass fingers on the screen and an image appears.

The first image is a family of robots at a local park.

The first is a robot boy with a cylindrical design. he has large brown eyes, black "hair" coming to two points. He also has painted black pants with a reflective waist band and red boots. His sister looks like a smaller version with the points of her hair being on left and right, instead of front and back. She wears a pink dress and black shoes. His mother is brown eyes and curled shoulder length brown hair. She wears a white dress covered by an yellow apron. The father is overweight with black hair with an antenna and mustache. He's also dressed in a brown business suit.

There a beautiful girl holding the boy's hand. She's around the boy's age with blue eyes and yellow blond hair reaching her shoulders and a red dress with a blue ribbon around her waist. There's also a very tall, very muscular warrior with dark skin, dark eyes, and golden helmet hair. He also has a gold eye ridge and is dressed in black like a fantasy warrior knight. His wife is like a life-size doll with dark eyes and short blond hair. She's dressed in white dress with a head dress and lace hanging like spider webs.

The ID scanner comes online and locks onto the boy.

Astro Boy (Atom)

"Reploids Region - Robots with complete free will and thought processes comparable to that of humans. They also include full prosthetic cyborgs, people who are machines except for there brains and even bioroids, which are organic androids like constructed clones."

Two more people arrive, one looks excitable, the other looks worried.

The excitable one is an attractive teenager with a shapely build, pale skin, green eyes, and hot pink hair that falls to her knees. She dresses in casual clothing, but usually wears red Converse sneakers. Suddenly, mechanical "cat ears" snap out from the base of her skull.

"Sorry, I have to be going, Nuku-Nuku." says Tarawiel reading lips in whisper, "Next time bring your Map. I can't believe I have to go the party in This outfit!"

Clea presses another part of the map and the screen changes.

It now shows a massive apartment building with many androids, mostly gynoids - female androids.

In the front of the building is a group of young woman around a motorcycle. The owner is dark shoulder-length blue-gray hair with long brown hair dressed in biker jump suit. The second is a underage girl with green hair and a very cute dress. The third is a woman with blond hair and green eyes dressed in a t-shirt and jeans. The fourth is a woman with dark brown hair in a blouse and shirt. The fifth and final is a woman with long silver hair done in a white dress.

"Hey! I thought you said they were free!"

"They are. Those three are more than willing to serve him and they never listen when he protests."

The younger members of the group don't get it, but the older certainly do.

Another two exit the building.

The first is a young girl with blue eyes and long light green hair. She also has a segmented body like a doll and has two cat ear antenna on her head. She's dressed in school uniform and holding a large bag.

The other is a fifteen to sixteen year old standing five foot with amber eyes and long white blond hair reaching her feet like a pair of wings. She's dressed in a brown school dress with brown shoes. She also had odd machine ears.

Clea presses the map and the image changes again.

The image is far from the almost human apartment complex resembling a giant industrial complex filled with factories and warehouses. Several groups are familiar from the Gates, but there are many other types of machines

Cyberdyne 850 series Model 101M

Sentinel Mk VI

Cylon

ED-202 Urban Combat Droid

"The Hive. A group of non-sentient robots connected by a hive mind caused by nanotechnology. They lack the needed ability to become fully sentient so they are connected to the hive to prevent them from becoming a threat.'

A man walks out of a building and inspects the others. He's a cyborg with a bald head, mottled skin, and a dark color right eye. His tall, athletic body is covered in dark gray metallic armor with a rectangular piece on the back of the head and a machine monocle over his left eye emitting teal/green light.

Borg One
29th century Borg Drone

Status: Online


"There sentient leader is Borg One. He's an advanced drone of pseudo-race of cyborgs known as the Borg He was created in 2375 when a former Borg drone Seven of Nine's nanoprobes were fused with the ship Doctor's 29th century mobile emitter in a transporter accident. He let himself die to protect others, so he was chosen to control the Hive."

"What is a hiv mine?" says Cyke

"Many bodies, a single mind." says Inuyasha, remembering Naraku. Naraku has been a multitude of demons, a vast composition of evil, fused together and controlled by a single dark mind.

Clea presses the map again and the screen shows huge warehouses and airplane hangers.

"Mech Bay. It use to be Mech Base until the Electro Event. This is the place for people who dressed as zords and giant mecha from anime and were transformed into giant machine with trapped souls. In case where the soul survived, they are converted into sentient machines. If the soul didn't survive, the transformed body is given to a pilot or as a new body."

"Wait a minute!?" says Kira, "Why does the Turn A-99 have a mustache!?"

"That... I don't know."

The group sweat-drops.

Suddenly, a silver robotic dinosaur like a t-rex with red eyes runs by with something in his mouth. He's followed a gold humanoid robot.

The screen pauses and rewinds and pauses again showing the dinosaur-like machine. The object in it's mouth is cylindrical and gold in color.

Status: Making Trouble

The screen plays and pause again. This time showing a gold humanoid robot missing one leg and hopping after Sieg

The screen then shifts back to real time and Clea pulls out a small radio hidden in her glass hair.

"Central, we have another looper computer virus. Looks like another strain of Roadrunner."

Sweat-drops around.

"What was the Electro Event you mentioned?" asks Captain Hitsugaya, "

"Machina has the most powerful electrical grid in the new world. We have managed to find sources of energy in ethanol engines, solar power stations designed to handle Red Sky radiation, hydro-electric plants, geothermal plants, and even more exotic technology such as matter/anti-matter annihilators and extra-dimensional couplers. We have been managed to supply power without it being effected by the Red Sky phenomenon.'

'This attracted a group of scavengers possessing electrokinesis - The ability to control, generate and absorb electrical fields, mentally manipulating electricity. The group lead by Maxwell Dillon, a comic book super villain known as Electro, managed to get into Machina during a repairs to the East Wall after a major giant monster attack.'

'Electro and his group tried to absorb massive amounts of energy from the grid and were nearly unstoppable due to the barrier they managed to erect. Then, the Red Sky reacted.

Clea presses the screen and makes a key board appear on the screen. She clicks several of the buttons and a new window screen activates.

It shows a slightly fuzzy video of a man floating in the air, while a group of other oddly dressed men form a circle on the ground. A pale misty translucent dome covers the area, with interior edge of the barrier a couple of feet from the circle.

The man is five foot eleven with glowing blue eyes and dressed in green and yellow costume with a zig-zag lightning bolt theme. His face is covered by a mask with five lightning bolts forming a star shape. He's currently laughing insanely as lightning shoots from the ground into his body and crackles across the surface of the sphere.

Above the dome, the Red Sky is rippling with light and a spot directly above the center of the dome is swirling and crackling with supernatural black lightning.

Suddenly, a massive bolt of black lightning strikes the dome, then breaks threw hitting Electro.

What happens is something small children shouldn't see, so the group covers the eyes of the X-Babies and the Power Pack.

As Electro glows like a star, he begins to burn. His costume and brown hair are first to burn away, followed by his skin and muscle tissue. Finally, the fiery skeletal remains ignite into white flame and explodes across the sky.

The dome of the energy barrier glows white then collapses to a single point sucking in massive amounts of dirt, rock, and rubble. Finally, it detonates into a massive explosion. The screen then goes blank.

"Thankfully it was an abandoned part of the old city. The red sky caused the group's energy barrier to implode, then explode. It created a massive circular crater, which was filled by water from broken lines and heavy rains forming Machina Lake and the nearby Mech Base became Mech Bay, which is good since we now have numerous aquatic machines."

----------------------------------------------------------------------
The Security
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Aerith Gainsborough walks out of the security office as the others decide to take a break. She notices a coffee maker and quickly makes her way too it.

It's a little know fact is trauma of Halloween World causes constant stress that manifests as obsessions and addictions. Aerith as healer for the most part, couldn't become an alcoholic or addictive to extremely harmful compounds, so she ended up as a caffeine addict.

As she drinks her coffee, she hears a faint sound. It sounds like the soft crying of a child, so she follows the sound to a small garden filled with strange, but beautiful flowers. Sitting near the garden is the crying child dressed in a little leather coat and holding a katana bigger than he is.

A tall child with very long silver hair that turns at her foot steps. He had a very feminine face making it hard to tell if he's a little boy or a little girl and his wide eyes are mako green.

Aerith steps back in shock as she realizes who this child is. Sephiroth.

She remembers how she died, impaled from behind by Sephiroth's sword while trying to use the White Materia to summon the ultimate white spell Holy to stop Sephiroth ultimate black magic Meteor. It was only after she was reborn in this world did she learn Sephiroth's complete history.

Sephiroth's mother, Lucrecia Crescent was a scientist who worked for the Shinra. She was the assistant to Professor Hojo, Sephiroth's father. Lucrecia had agreed to enlist in the Shinra experiment called the Jenova Project. The Jenova Project was meant to give birth to a child whose mother was injected with Jenova cells. Vincent Valentine at the time was their escort to Nibelheim, where they would begin the experiment. Vincent loved Lucrecia, but she didn't love him in the same way. He confronted them saying that the experiment was wrong, especially on Lucrecia. Lucrecia had premonitions that her son would lead to destruction, but still continued with the birth of Sephiroth.

Hojo and others thought Jenova was the last Cetra when in reality it was the Calamity in the Skies, an extraterrestrial life form that fell to the planet Gaea long ago, infecting the Cetra and taking the forms of others to kill, and tried to drain the planet of all life. Sephiroth grew to be one of the most powerful warriors in the world, an elite General of ShinRa's company, and hero to many.

When Sephiroth learned he and his mother Jenova were nothing more than science experiment. The horrible truth drove Sephiroth genocidal insane, brutally murdering the 'traitors' of the Planet; the regular humans. He is responsible for the death of Cloud's mother and Tifa's father. He injured Tifa and Zack while was mortally wounded himself by Cloud. But Sephiroth dived into the Lifestream below the reactor with Jenova's head on him.

Everyone thought he was dead, but in truth, Sephiroth drifted through the Lifestream and ends up in the Northern Crater. He manipulated the rest of Jenova to take on his appearance, taking over Jenova's body and used it to kill President ShinRa.

Taking Cloud and company on a wild goose chase with his "puppets", Sephiroth had them get the Black Materia which Cloud gave to him at the "Reunion" Sephiroth arranged at he Northern Cave.

Aerith even knows what happened after her death. The final battle with Sephiroth's other forms and his later resurrection by Kadaj. As he was defeated for the last time, Sephiroth told Cloud.

"I will... never be a memory."

"Who are you?"

Aerith look at the boy who was forced back his tears and managed to ask her a question.

"I heard a child crying and I was worried."

"What are you saying?" says the child Sephiroth, "Are you trying to tell me you have feelings too?"

Aerith moves closer and kneels next to him. The boy tries hard to hide his emotions, but Aerith can clearly see his pain and loneliness.

"I want to know you." says Aerith, placing her hand on the side of Sephiroth's face wiping away the boy's tears, " The real you."

Sephiroth begins his story. How he found himself inside a crater to the far north dressed in the same clothing he wears now. How he had to fight horrors and survive as he traveled south. He encountered a couple of towns,. but the people avoided him and thought he was one of the demons. Finally, he ended up in Machina and ended up in th care of the emotionless robots. He hoped they would let him play with the other children, but the machines keeping saying his files haven't cleared. As Sephiroth breaks down and cries, Aerith holds him and wonders how this world can make things so complicated.

Soon, a voice over the intercom informs Aerith that her group is wondering where she is. She tells Sephiroth that she will be back soon and Sephiroth looks at the flowers and comes to a decision.

A few minutes after Aerith leaves, he gets up and leaves the garden. An emotionless droid near the door tries to stop him, but is cut to pieces by Sephiroth's blade.

"Out of my way." says Sephiroth walking pass the smoking remains. " I'm going to see my mother."

Note to Readers on Sports Manga
Ryoma Echizen will be the only "Prince of Tennis" character. I have a intense dislike of Sports, including Manga based on them. I didn't like "Eyeshield 21" in Shonen Jump or the Intro to" Slam Dunk" in a magazine, and I could barely read the first few chapters of "Hikaru no Go". I seriously doubt I will be able to write sports related characters esp since I don't even remember the sports terms used. I can write Mon games, like Digimon, Pokemon, Yugioh, Monster Ranchers, Dragon Drive, etc, but not baseball, American football, hockey, tennis, soccer (football to the rest of the world), or any major sport. I also don't do heavy strategy so Go and Chess are also out. I understand Death note and Xanatos Gambits, but I prefer supernatural horror, heavy action or science fiction leaning towards seinen and shonen titles.
For those who enjoy Sports Manga like Prince of Tennis and Eyeshield
If you really want sports characters in Halloween world either write your own side story to my series or have a friend write it. I fully approve. You can even include characters from the main stories since I allow multiples. I have four Gallys (Alitas) from Gunnm (Battle Angel Alita) in this chapter alone! I don't just write for reviews, I write to inspire and encourage other people to write as well.
My Odd Humorous History
Once I was walking up the road to my school from the baseball field when a fly ball managed to get over the fence, over the gravel, and managed to hit me in the back of the head! You can guess I'm not a baseball fan.
