CHAPTER 11: CHASER AND CHASED Part 4B




Rebirth of the Gods


A deity is a preternatural or supernatural being, who is always of significant power, worshiped, thought holy, divine, or sacred, held in high regard, or respected by human beings. There have been many deities in the past, but as there worshipers have been lost they have been reduced in power.

Most gods draw there power from faith, a combination of spiritual and psychic energies given by there belief and dedication. There followers can only draw power from them, because they first gave him or her that power to begin with. Some Gods exist without followers, but are not as powerful as those with them under most circumstances.

In another world during the dark ages, humanity wanted something to explain why they suffered and there combined will created the Ideal of God. That god in turn created five god-like demons to make humanity suffer. The God's Hand caused wars an corrupted mankind into demons, fulfilling there desire for a cause of there suffering.

Now with the world's rebirth in chaos and spirit, the ancient gods walk the earth once more. The celestial and cosmological gods walked changed, as the sun, moon, sky, and weather have changed. The cthonic gods of earth, sun, ocean and water, and underworld and the night continue to change as there aspects change. Those Gods that represent the human sphere such as justice, knowledge or wisdom are changed with humanity.

The chaos magic that enveloped the world, has increased the powers of Anansi, Coyote, and other tricksters. In Africa, Anansi the Spider Trickster walks before the eyes of the West African people. In East Asia, the deities of China, Japan, and Korea awaken to a world once more needing them. In Australia, the Australian Aboriginal deities now stand on Ayers rock. In Europe, the Celtic and Greeco-Roman deities rise after centuries to once more spread there influence. In South America, people can only watch as a giant snake with feathery wings flies over there former cities.

There are also new deities that have appeared. The Powers That Be, the enigmatic and ancient forces that assist the side of good in the world before Halloween, now have to face deities from other dimensions once perceived as fiction.

Corellon Larethian, god of elves, magic, music, and arts appears for those who dressed as elves. He is followed by Boccob, god of magic, arcane knowledge, balance and foresight; Garl Glittergold, god of gnomes, humor, and gem-cutting; Gruumsh, god of orcs; Moradin, god of dwarves; Nerull, god of death, darkness, murder and the underworld; Yondalla, goddess of halflings; and Pelor, god of sun, light, strength and healing

Three women who dressed as Belldandy, Skuld, and Urd from the anime series Oh My Goddess! have become the beginning of a new Yggdrasil, a computer/tree that runs the universe.

Those who possesses or became Pokémon have summoned Arceus, the creator of the Pokémon universe and with him come the other legendary creatures such as the time-manipulating Dialga, physical reality manipulating Palkia, and lord of the death Giratina.

One member of The Powers That Be stares in shock at one new deity. It resembles a mass of long thin yellow - white tendrils and spherical mass of dead animal tissue and stares back at the PTB deity with two eyeballs on stocks, while extending it's tentacle-like arms.

The Flying Spaghetti Monster has come.

The FSM turns an eyeball to Invisible Pink Unicorn as if to ask, "What's his problem?"


Yubaba's Bathhouse


Bus Beta - Cordelia's Crew has arrived at Yubaba's bathhouse resort and they have made arrangements. There were several issues, but each one has been dealt with.

The first issue is the main thing on Yubaba's mind other than her son, Money. Sunnydale predicted a magical fantasy town might be interested in jewels and gold like treasure and GP in the games. Cordy had Sunnydale's gold melted down by HolyForge into 1 oz minted bars and coins the size of a South African 1 oz Krugerrand. They were then put in metal chests sealed into a sealing scroll, then placed in a scroll container hidden on the Bus.

A few coins was more than enough to pay them off.

The second issue is the smell given off by live humans, an annoying stench to spirits. That was solved in three ways. The scent would vanish after eating spirit world food for several days, so they masked there scents with perfume and the scents of there less human members.

Yubaba said she rather smell the odd dead smell coming from the chiropterans and vampires or even Ripley's odd serpent smell than the foul stench of living humans. At least they didn't smell like the pollution contaminated river spirit, she once mistook for a stench spirit.

The last issue was space. They needed to find a place where they wouldn't bother the other customers. It was the myobu Kitsune Clan that offered to help and allowed the mostly humans to stay next to them. The shinobi of Konohagakure were surprised to meet a kind Kyubi no Kitsune.


Medical


In the Medical area of Yubaba's bathhouse, Gaara, Urahara, Minato, Sakura, and Hinata tend to Naruto, Carrot, Kyuzou, and Schmendrick. There are also several Yuna (slug women) dressed in white and pink uniforms and a white coated Doctor.

"Dr. Otoha, how is Naruto?" asks Minato looking at his son's form on the bed.

Dr. Otoha is a tall man with thick dark brown hair and shining eyes. He wears a white doctor's coat and serves as one of the spirit world's healers, when not fighting for his city as Karas. In his human life, he was the product of incest between his mother and his brother who was the local yakuza boss. He suffers from congenital insensitivity to pain which lends to his merciless reputation as his brother's enforcer. As Karas, he protects the city of Shinjuku as the spirit driving a transforming suit armor. When he was reborn in this new world, he became the Karas for the new Shinjuku.

His assistant is a modern Amefurikozou, a rain youkai resembling an anthropomorphic snail boy wearing a raincoat

"His energy is recovering faster than anything I have encountered." says the doctor, helping the sleeping Naruto drinking a glowing green liquid, "I mostly tend to Youkai in Shinjuku, but this boy seems part kitsune."

"Shinjuku? If I remember my world map, that is on the other side of the ocean." states Gaara.

"Correct. The material world and the spirit world don't have the same dimensions or physics." says Urahara, "The place with denser spiritual pressure is found more often, like the gravity of a star warping space. A person can enter the spirit world at any point but will end up relatively the same place for any given area. An example is Susanoo, the Japanese god of the seas, once drove the sun goddess Amaterasu into Ame-no-Iwato (The cave of the sun god). This caused the sun to hide for a long period of time.There are many places called Ame-no-Iwato in Japan, but only one in the spirit world."

"Boring." comes Carrot's voice.

The group turns to see Carrot awake on his bed next to Kyuzou and Schmendrick.

"Schmendrick.will take time to heal." states the doctor, "Kyuzou will be healed in a couple of days. Carrot is nearly healed, he mostly suffered from the strain of absorbing the dark Kyubi's power."

"Naruto had problems with Kyubi's chakra before." says Sakura, "When he started using the fourth tail, he lost control and couldn't determine friend or foe. The chakra also put a strain on his cells, regenerating them over and over, shortened his life span."

"He no longer has to worry about that." says Urahara, "He no longer has a living physical body for the chakra to effect."

The group turns to see a regal woman enter the room. She's a tall beautiful woman with pale skin and long white-blond hair reaching her ankles and tied into nine ponytails at the end. She's dressed in black kimono with yellow flowers and a very long white obi (sash). Over her shoulder is a a gold-white fur wrap, which the group quickly realizes is a mass of fox tails!

The Yuna drop to there knees in respect.

"Lady Kiiro Genkou."

The group can feel the woman's spiritual pressure and recognize the name of the ancient nine tailed sage/patriarch of the Myobu Kitsune (Celestial Foxes).

"Why have you come?" says Gaara, while beneath his sand armor he's pale in fear.

"I heard of the rampage of the kyubi nogitsune and wished to learn the story."

Minato steps forward and explains.

"Years ago, my home the village hidden in the leaves was attacked by the Nine Tailed Demon Fox, the greatest of the nine tailed beasts that terrorized our world. I was the Fire Shadow, the village leader, and as Hokage I protected my village. I used a forbidden technique to summon the death god to seal the fox at the cost of my own life. An object or adult wouldn't be able to hold the fox, so it had to be sealed in a newborn child. i couldn't ask another family, so I sealed the Fox in my own son Naruto. As I died, I hoped with naivety he would be treated as a hero.'

'He grew up without me or his mother Kushina, who died in child birth. He grew up hated by most of the village, who only saw the fox, but he still fought to be accepted and to prove himself.'

'When Naruto appeared in this world, the strange energies reacted with the seal and unleashed the fox. Thanks to Naruto's friend Gaara we were able to separate the fox from Naruto."

"Very Interesting." says the Lady, she turns to Hinata, "Tell me, young human, was Naruto a trickster in his youth."

"Yes." says Hinata, blushing, "He liked to play pranks. He once covered the Hokage monument in Graffiti."

Yondaime Hokage Minato Namikaze sweat drops. "His mother was an energetic tomboy when she was younger. We both liked pranks our selves."

"Did Naruto play a prank involving transforming into a woman?" asks the Lady.

That question causes several people to face fall into the ground.

"Yes." says a red faced Hinata, "He calls it his Oiroke no Jutsu (Art of the Centerfold). He transforms into a naked woman to make perverts pass out."

Sakura looks embarrassed. Gaara doesn't know what to say. Minato has a clubbed-with-a-two-by-four look. Urahara is holding back a laugh. The Doctor looks like he's trying to ignore everything.

"Does he have an obsession with a form of food?"

"He loves Ramen." replies Hinata

"Does he often make a face like this?" says the Lady show a narrow face with close-set eyes, thin eyebrows, and high cheekbones

"When he's confused." says Hinata

"Why are you asking Hinata these questions?" asks Sakura

"It is because Hinata loves to observe him." says the Lady.

Hinata manages the impossible and does a full body red blush. Her crush had been found out and in front of Naruto's father!

"The questions refer to the traits the kitsune. Wild foxes are tricksters who cast illusions and the most common prank is turning into women. The obsession with a single food is a common trait amongst hanyou. Those combined with the spiritual traces I detect makes me believe Naruto is now part Kitsune."

The reactions differ from person to person.

Sakura concludes it doesn't make much a difference. She still Naruto's friend even with the Kyubi sealed in him and after she was scratched by Naruto's feral Four Tailed form.

Hinata wouldn't care even if she didn't pass out from embarrassment.

Minato looks a little sad at Naruto still being stuck with the fox and a little worried what Kushina will do with him when he meets her next.

Gaara thinks about it and decides being part youkai has to be better than having one sealed inside you. His friendship with Naruto is never in question.

Urahara isn't bothered about it. Seventh Division Captain Sajin Komamura is an anthropomorphic canine, his best friend Yuruichi turns into a cat, and her student Ichigo is a Vizard, a shinigami (death god) possessing the powers of a Hollow (evil spirit)

"I'll adjust the herbal mixtures" says Dr. Otoha He's a incest born former yakuza freak who becomes a living suit of tengu-style armor that can become a armored car or a fighter plane, he has no right to throw stones.


Women's Bath


Sakura and Hinata, ordered out by Dr. Otoha and the Lady join Anko, Ino, Tenten, and Sheena in the baths. This bath is large enough for eight people to fit with comfort. The four women resting in the green-color mineral water watch as Hinata and Sakura disrobe.

"How are they?" asks Ino

"Schmendrick.will take time." says Hinata, "Kyuzou will be healed in a couple of days. Carrot is nearly healed. Naruto-kun just needs rest according to the doc and Urahara."

The two then notices two new faces in the pool.

One is a dark skinned woman standing five foot one with a large bust, gold yellow cat-like eyes and long dark purple hair. She has her hair pulled back and she holds a small bladed weapon resembling a kodachi or wakizashi.

She is Yoruichi Shihouin. She is former shinigami (death god) captain of the 2nd Division, commander of the secret mobile corps, and corps commander of the corrections corps. She is also the first female and the 22nd generational head of the Shihouin family, one of the four noble families. She gave up her high status to help her childhood friend Kisuke Urahara escape from the Soul Society.

She is an extremely skilled warrior of a high ranking family and possesses many abilities and skills. She possesses the ability to shape-shift into an extremely fast cat. She is a master of flash steps (Shunpo), a high speed movement ability. She has mastered this ability to such an extent that she can appear to be in several places at once and wipe out entire special forces squadrons in moments earning the title Shunshin (Flash Master/Goddess of Flash). She is also skilled in flash cry (Shunko), a technique that combines hand-to-hand combat and kido (demon art). It concentrates high-pressure kido energy around the body, allowing it to be fired at opponents. It can also be used to instantly neutralize an opponent's movement.

The other a woman with hip-length with an even larger bust, green eyes, red facial marks, and lime green hair. She also has a skull-like mask with horns on the top of her head.

Neliel Tu Oderschvank, commonly known as Nel Tu, is the former Third Espada. The Espada are a group of powerful arrancar, consisting of ten members at any given time, ranked in order of strength. An arrancar is a hollow that has removed its mask and gained shinigami powers. A hollow is a soul that loses its heart and becomes a soul-eating monster which are cleansed by Shinigami.

When Nel Tu first entered the bath she was a small child with short hair and a cartoony skull on her head, but she transformed into her adult form after a few minutes absorbing the high amounts of spiritual energy particles contained in the water. She reverts to her child form often due to a sneak attack by two other Espada Nnoitra Jiruga and Szayel Aporro Granz that damaged her mask.

"Did you say Urahara, as Kisuke Urahara?" asks Yuruichi

"Kishi. Female version." replies Hinata

Yuruichi's eyes widen at the thought, then falls back laughing. Nel Tu looks at her "friend" and wonders if she's losing it.

"Me and Kisuke have been friends since we were children. I even helped him escape the Soul Society after he was tried for accidentally creating the Breakdown Sphere. The idea of Kisuke as a woman is amusing, I MUST meet her." explains Yuruichi

Nel Tu wonders if there is a female Ichigo Kurosaki out there and tries to imagine her. The stoic mature woman reverts to her child form and laughs until she nearly drowns herself..

In another area Cordy, Ty Lee, Mai, Katara, and Kagura are enjoying another group bath.

"This is so weird." says Katara, "Not in a hundred years did I think I would share a bath with Princess of the Fire Nation."

"Halloween changed a lot of things. According to Lady Joyce and the other doctors, most of my original Cordelia Chase's DNA has been replaced with Azula." says Cordelia bending her head back.

"What's DNA?" asks Ty Lee, Mai, Katara, and Kagura

"Inside the smallest pieces of your body, called cells, there is a special code. Every living creature has this code, that determines physical traits and some of the mental traits. A person's DNA is half there mother's DNA and half there father's DNA. It like heritage and bloodlines."

"So I'm from Mom and Dad, and they were made from Grandpas and Grandmas, and they were made of Great-Grandpas and Great-Grandmas, and they were...."

SPLASH

Katara uses her water bending to stop the rambling acrobat. Ty Lee looks upset, the wind sorceress and the other two Fire Nation citizens looks grateful.

"According to the scientists, when it comes to the mind. First, the person gains skills, then memories, and finally personality. The amount is determined by personality and experiences with supernatural. There are many in Sunnydale that remember who they were before Halloween, even with Sunnydale being the center of the chaos wave.'

'They only gained skills to give movement to the costume and enough memories to understand those skills. Other people with weak wills or unable to understand the supernatural were completely consumed by there new personas."

"What about the soul?" asks Nel Tu

"A friend of mine, Willow, was transformed into Rukia Kuchiki. She retains her own mind, but her Zanpakuto is Sode no Shirayuki"

"Soul Cleaving Sword?" asks Mai

"It the sword used by Shinigami (Death Gods)." says Yuruichi, "It's the fighting part of there soul given form. It's used to perform konso, sending the souls of the dead to the Soul Society, and to cleanse Hollows, fallen souls that devour the souls of the living and the dead. They each have special powers released in what's called Shikai (First Release), such as Sode no Shirayuki's ability to manipulate ice. If the Shinigami is powerful enough they can release there full power in Bankai (Full Release)"

"Arrancar, Hollows who have removed there masks and gained Shinigami powers also have them." says Nel Tu, "We use them to seal away our Hollow powers until we which to release them using Resurrección."

"What is important" says Cordelia, "is part of her soul was changed. She not only contains body and mind, but part of her soul as well."

"Wait a minute! Does that mean your a soul-eating monster!?!? says Katara looking at child Nel Tu

"Hmmm... Yup." says Nel Tu, causing several to face fall into the water. "When we seal away our Hollow powers to gain Shinigami, we also seal away our hungry."

"Souls, including Hollows, can feed on ambient spiritual particles." says Yuruichi, "Soul Society and Hueco Mundo both have high concentration environments. It's strange, but this world's spiritual atmosphere is growing denser as the months go by. Soon, it will be stronger than the Soul Society of my world."

"I don't really care if she's soul taker." says Kagura, "My closest friend had the ability to steal souls."

"Thank You."

The group turns at the voice and find a small, pale girl with long white hair decorated with white flowers. She's dressed in a pure white kimono and obi, and carries a large hand mirror.

"KANNA!" yells Kagura.

Her name is Kanna, first of incarnation of Naraku. Her name means "Godless world" and she was created from mu (nothingness) with no yokai properties, presense, or emotions. Despite looking a like a little girl she is actually older than Kagura, she was created by the demon Naraku as a loyal weapon.

She possesses the ability to steal the souls of people who are reflected in her demonic mirror and then use the bodies as puppets to manipulate and attack others. She can also scry the world, reflect attacks directed her and fire destructive beams of light. The most powerful of the mirror's powers, however, is the ability to create a glass demon that can copy the abilities of whatever it happens to reflect. Kanna, however, receives all damage in the glass demon's stead. It was the last power she used before she was ordered by Naraku to commit suicide, shattering herself and the glass demon she was currently using into thousands of tiny shards.

"Hello, Kagura."


Large Pool Area


Usagi, Rei, Makoto, Lavender Brown and Monet stare across the water at Rushuna. The big breasted woman loving the warm herbal water. They also stare because they say her remove a box work of ammo from between her cleavage.

Tsukasa is completely red, wondering if the water is too hot.

Ayeka has a twitch under her eye, the same twitch that appears when enjoying the Onsen created by Ryoko when both Ryoko and Mihoshi are there.

Kiyone, Hepzibah, and Ripley try to ignore the others.

Kiyone needs more R & R, especially from years of being a partner to that bubble head Mihoshi. After years of having her Galactic Police career in danger from the constant screw ups of her partner, she can finally relax. She may have been fighting demons and monsters for months, but it's been a vacation to the annoyed policewoman.

Hepzibah is wearing a pair of nose plugs. Her species have strong senses of smell and a language based on scents, but the spirit world is driving her senses crazy. What's worse is the mixed scents used by the others to hide there human smell. She doesn't want to offend Ripley 8, but the insect/serpent smell reminds her on a subconscious level of the Brood, a race of insect-like parasitic beings feared in her universe.

Ripley is glad to be clean since she was a long memory of dirt, grease, steam, and Xanomorph resin. Even if most of those memories belong to the original Ripley, her alien genetic memory makes it all clear to her. She made sure she didn't have any injuries from the rough trip before getting in the water since her blood is highly corrosive

The two high level vampire Queens Saya and Ceres, one of Chiropteran Queen, the other No Life Queen, talk about there types.

"So, your blood causes Chevaliers, those created from your sister's blood to crystallize and vis versa. " says Ceres, "The only way to remove the toxicity is to give birth and only one of your sister's servants can get you pregnant and vis versa."

"My sister Diva raped my adopted brother Riku, after I was forced to change him into a Chevalier. She gave birth to twins and we fought each other. The reason I survived was because her blood lost toxicity with there birth. I.. wanted to destroy the twins, but my other brother raised them. I awoke after hibernation to find them happy together. Sometimes I wonder if me and Diva could have been like that."

Saya sips sake (rice wine) from a dish near the pool.

"So what's your type like. I know you can regenerate from scraps, transform into bats and mist, and your strength is go great you can rip apart people like wet tissue. I know about powers, but what are you kind like on a personal level."

Ceres sweat drops. The only other Midian she knows is Alucard and how can you describe a heroic sociopathic magnificent bastard bad-ass with vast powers including the power to create armies our of his countless victims.

There is a long pause.
.


Somewhere far from Yubaba's Bathhouse


Several dark figures in hooded black cloaks stand in a circle around a blue flame fire.

"The first bus has reached Machine City Machina." says one of them, "The other is a stone's throw away from Magic Town of Magia."

"Machina's technology and Sunnydale's diversity are a combined threat. The addition of Magia's mystical knowledge and power will increase the threat." says a second.

"The Kyubi should have eliminated them!" saus a third

"Create a distraction with minor forces and send in people to eliminate Bus Beta." says the first.


Men's Area


Ao-gaeru and Bandai-gaeru (Blue frogs and green frogs) tend to the needs the few uninjured men.
Aang, Zuko, and Riku relax in the warm green-tinted water. They also have company.

On the other side of the pool is an outrageous looking man with dark eyes, a thick jaw, and thick black hair with side burns and thick eyebrows. He arrived wearing black pants, grey shirt, and a green vest with a green bandanna, a black sash, and black arm bands.

"So Rukia is in Sunnydale?"

"According to Cordelia, Sunnydale has become the crossroads of the new world. Nearly every colony eventually passes threw Sunnydale."

Genju Shiba is a member of a clan lost its status as one of the Noble Clans of the Soul Society. They lost there status after his brother Kaien and Kaien's wife were killed. He held on to a hatred for Shinigami until he learned Rukia was innocent and Kaien and Miyako had be possessed by a parasitic Hollow.Kaien actually forced Rukia's sword into him to kill the Hollow.

"This world is so weird. My Earth magic is stronger, but it's harder to control. How's Rukia handling it?"

"According to Cordelia" says Zuko, thinking it weird to have a nicer person possessing his sister's body, "She wasn't dominant in the merging. Willow possesses all of Rukia's skills and memories, but Rukia personality only appears when she extremely excited or stressed.

Though Ganju is not a member of the Shinigami forces, he is of the Shiba clan and can fight on a level above that of an average Soul Reaper, but lower than that of the higher ranking seated officers. He possesses a Zanpakuto resembling resembles a meat cleaver or a Chinese Dadao. Ganju's sword skills are limited, so he relies primarily on his arsenal of fireworks, his agility, and his earth magic.

"I wonder if I can find Lord Inuyasha in Sunnydale?" comes a voice from a cup of water.

Myoga is a tiny creature, a flea youkai resembling a tiny balding old man with large eyes, a needle-like mouth and six arms. He's usually dresses in a tiny yellow kimono top and black hakama. Myoga is an old friend of InuYasha's father, Inu no Taishou, and was originally charged with guarding InuYasha's father's tomb. But when Sesshomaru came to it in order to look for the Tessaiga he fled and met up with InuYasha and Kagome. When he is not with the group, he is usually off gathering new information that can be useful. He's useful to heroes for information gathering, but he lacks any offensive or defensive powers/abilities meaning he's useless in a fight and a complete coward for the most part.

"I hope so, Myoga." says a tanuki in the pool next to him, "I hope I can find Miroku. This world is insane."

Hachiemon is a tanuki (raccoon dog) and resembles the Tanuki of legend, reputed to be mischievous and jolly, a master of disguise and shape-shifting, but somewhat gullible and absent-minded. Hachiemon is also a con artist who once sold fake seal and exorcisms in the form of his human friend, the pervert Buddhist Monk Miroku. He sometimes acts as transportation for Miroku, Inuyasha, and there friends, by transforming into a yellow blimp-like creature.

"Hate to say it, but even I'm missing the Mutt and the Monk" comes a voice from the door,. "I hope he's taking care of Kagome."

"Koga!" says Myoga

Koga is an alpha Okami (wolf youkai) and leader of the The Eastern Wolf Pack. He's an eighteen year old humanoid standing five foot seven with light blue eyes, pointed ears, and long black hair tied in a ponytail. He wears blue curass (chest armor) with a grey wolf fur kilt, furry shoulder guards, and a furry headband. He also has a long wolf tail, fur covered lower leg guards, and fur arm bands.

"I found out Kagura is part of the Sunnydale group." he says with a grimace

Koga was the leader of a group of wolf youkai under attack by a group of bird youkai who called themselves the Birds of Paradise. The largest problem was the leader of the Birds possesses a shard of the shikon jewel and only Koga was able to fight back using shards to increase his speed. He was attracted to the miko Kagome initially because of her ability to see the shards in other youkai.

"Naraku's incarnation?" says Myoga

"Kagura is O.K." says Aang, "She said she would help me learning a few tricks with my air bending."

Later, his entire pack, excluding idiot clansmen Ginta and Hakkaku were slaughtered in a trap set by Naraku, which sent Koga on a quest for revenge.

When he awoke in this world, he found his youkai powers enhanced, granting him the strength, speed, and agility he possessed with shikon shards. He can even use a super powerful kick that can shatter boulders, even with the energy of the Shikon no Tama.

"I'll give her a chance. I don't want to charge in blindly like the mutt would." says Koga, remembering how many powerful members there are in that group, "You can't judge people by appearance in this land."


Koi Pond


The koi pond is a recent feature added to Yubaba's resort. It's a huge peaceful garden with a large crystal clear pond with many fish swimming it. There are several sakura trees, several bonzai, and a wood bridge going over the pond. On the other side of the pond is a door leading to a rock garden. It's a quiet place to watch the youkai koi fish swim and pass the time.

Seth Nightroad is with her brother Abel under one tree.

"It's so strange. It's like it was after the apocalypse in our world. The people are gathering into groups, but my colony is like Albion a mix of both human and non-human."

"There's a lot more diversity, Seth." says Abel, "Our world possesses normal humans, Bacillus vampires, and Crusniks which includes us. There were people who possessed some psychic ability being descendants of past genetic experiments and those who were experimented on, but most of our population was divided into humans and vampires. The people can't clear say light and dark with many shades of grey."

"I see what you mean." says Seth, then she smiles at her brother, "So, are all those women still after you?"

Abel face falls into the ground hard enough to knock loose a shower of blossoms from the tree.

Lust, Gluttony, and Arshes sit under another tree.Gluttony is eating a Japanese style meal with the manners of viking raider.

"Gluttony." says Lust with a little disgust

"Yes, Lust?" says the fat sin

"You need to learn manners." she says flicking a piece of food off her claws

"I wonder if a seal could help Gluttony suppress his hunger." says Arshes

"Seal?" says Gluttony with a little fear. Alchemic seals allowed Dante to control there minds and allowed others to destroy them by causing them to lose there red stones."Seals bad."

"I'm not talking about Alchemy, Gluttony." says Arshes, "I mean a symbol that will allow you to be full."

"Full?" says Gluttony, trying to understand the concept.

"Don't bother thinking Gluttony, you don't have the mind." comes a snide voice.

The three turn to see three more people walking towards them, three people Lust and Gluttony recognize. Three more Homunculi and members of the Seven Deadly Sins.

The first is a pale humanoid with cruel violet eyes and long dark green hair. His hair is wild resembling the leaves of a palm tree and going past his waist. He's dressed in a tight sleeveless black shirt exposed his mid-drift, black shorts, fingerless black gloves with wrist protectors and foot guards exposing the heel and toes

"Envy"

The second is a tall athletic man in his thirties with short black hair, black mustache, a turquoise right eye, and a left eye covered by a black eye patch. He wears a tight sleeveless black shirt, black pants, and black boots like a black ops soldier.

"Pride"

The third is a tall beautiful woman with green eyes and long dark brown hair covering one eye. She's dressed in tight flowing dark purple/black evening dress with long black gloves.

"Sloth"

"Lust. Gluttony." says Envy with sarcasm, "Your vocab must have been lost."

"Why are you here?" says Lust reedy to release her claws as the ultimate lance.

"Hell if I know! The last thing I remember was crushing my father between my jaws and the Gate appearing." says Envy

"The last I remember was evaporating after Fullmetal converted me into Ethanol." says Sloth

"It was Mustang who destroyed me." says Pride, "I never thought Roy had the strength."

"We woke up in a town to the East and followed a group into the Spirit World." says Sloth

"Well don't expect to find Dante." says Lust, "I don't think anybody dressed as a withered one woman for Halloween and she was even more unattractive than that phony priest Cornello"

"He tasted good." says Gluttony making the others stare for a moment.

Suddenly, the sound of bells alarm threw the resort


Outside the walls of the bathhouse, a legion of evil walks threw the water covering the ground.

Most of the monsters are Jack O Lanterns and Zombies.

The small army of pumpkin headed plant monsters have grown large from absorbing the water and there flames burn brightly even in the heavy mist.They not only produce balls and jets of burning wax that floats on the water, but can produce jets of water powerful enough to cut stone. There weakness is they are slower than they were on land since there bodies are filled with spirit-rich water.

The zombies come in two forms. The first are humans who drowned when the coast was flooded and the dams shattered, and are possessed by powerful demon spirits. They have blue-grey flesh and glowing eyes. The second group are zombies created on land, there flesh is almost rotting off there bones and are possessed by far weaker spirits. There spiritual energy was devoured by demons and other zombies that feed on there flesh, leaving little in the reanimated corpses.

Other in the legion include Preta, a type of supernatural being described in Buddhist, Hindu and Jain texts that undergoes more than human suffering, particularly an extreme degree of hunger and thirst. They are also known as Gaki or Jikininki. They are human-like spirits with sunken, mummified skin, narrow limbs, enormously distended bellies and long, thin necks. Normally, these "hungry ghosts" would be in waste and desert places of the earth feeding on human corpses. Today, they are possessed by an evil force to walk threw the waters of the spirit world and feed on the living and spiritual flesh.

They also includes skeletons, zombies that have lost there flesh and become bones animated by the dark spirits. They range from white bone weaklings animated by weak spirits unable to animate heavier flesh to black bone giants fueled by hundreds of deaths, who lost there flesh when there demonic energy burnt it off.

The legion also contains immense black monsters with white bone-like masks and a hole in there torso. The Hollows have come to devour all souls, living and dead, and don't need to be controlled.


Within the walls of the bathhouse, two figures watch the beginning of the battle

One is gruesome thin humanoid dressed in black bondage outfit with a sticked neck, feathery shoulders, spiky black hair, long black feather wings, and bulging red eyes with yellow sclera. It's wide mouth is rapidly stuffed with apples

The other is larger humanoid (female, but you can't tell) with a body covered in rotting white bandages like a mummy. She has wide white wings, a pale face, and thick long white hair. One of her eyes is covered by the bandages, but the other is normal size, but yellow with a red pupil.

Ryuk and Rem are shinigami from a different world than the Rukia, Urahara, Yuruichi, and the others. They come from a world in which they watch the human world and write the human names in notebooks known as a Death Note. The Rules are simple to understand.

The human whose name is written in this note shall die.
This note will not take effect unless the writer has the subject's face in their mind when writing his/her name. Therefore, people sharing the same name will not be affected.
If the cause of death is written within 40 seconds of writing the subject's name, it will happen.
If the cause of death is not specified, the subject will simply die of a heart attack.
After writing the cause of death, the details of the death should be written in the next 6 minutes and 40 seconds (400 seconds).

When humans are killed by the Death Note the remaining life span is added to the Shinigami's own. If a person is thirty years old and will live to be ninety, but is killed by Death Note, the shinigami gains sixty years of life. It's also the greatest weakness of a Shinigami, as if a Shinigami uses there note to save the life a human, there entire life is added to humans turning the Shinigami into lifeless salt.

Ryuk is the shinigami who dropped a Death Note into the human world, which a man named Light would pick up. Acting out of pure boredom, Ryuk begins the adventure on a whim. It is stated that Ryuk obtained the second Death Note in the shinigami world from "tricking the old man" for another one. Ryuk was not Light's ally, and in fact declared in their first meeting that someday he (Ryuk) would write Light's name into his own Death Note. He did just that when Light was gunned down by the police after he was discovered to be Kira, the vigilante killer who had been slaying criminals world wide.

Rem is the female shinigami who first gave Misa (the second Kira) her Death Note and trades her for the Shinigami eyes (the ability to see a person's name and lifespan above the heads of humans). Similar to Ryuk, Rem possessed two Death Notes; however, she purposely gave one of them to Misa Amane. Rem inherited her second Death Note from Jealous, another shinigami who died when he saved Misa's life, and thought it only right to pass it on to Misa. Rem inherits Jealous' love for Misa as well and is prompt to defend Misa even at the cost of her life.

When they awoke in this world, they discovered the old rules of the Death Note have vanished. When they tried to write a person's name in the Death Note, the person nine times out of ten did not die. There costume persona died and was replaced by original persona. There human persona would die and be replaced by the costume. The Death Note would have no effect or the person would die then return to life. Some of people died, but they had ghosts that transformed into other spiritual creatures.

They quickly learned they can only absorb the lifespan of those that are permanently killed. This has problems, since while fearsome, able to fly, and can pass threw walls, void Shinigami are physically weak relying on the Death Notes.

"The apples in the place are good." says Ryuk, "Too bad the number of living is so low."

"Don't you think you should be worrying about those invading undead." says Rem, near growling, "Ever since Halloween we've been vulnerable. We can't even find Misa and that bastard Light."

"I'm not worried. That man is doing the work and loving it."

The man in question is an extremely menacing man stands six foot seven and half, a hundred ninety eight pounds with wild and aggressive, insane black eyes with one covered by an eye-patch and long black hair done in spikes with tiny bells at the end. He wears a loose white kosode, a black kimono and hakama, and a white obi sash common with all Shinigami, but he also wears a shredded edged (from combat) haori with the number eleven inside a rhombus on the back. He also carries an old sword, it is a very long seemingly worn-down and dull blade with a guard that extends inward from its center.

This self-centered and violent man is the feared Captain of the Eleventh Division, Kenpachi Zaraki. Kenpachi lives for battle, evidenced by his method of attaining his rank when he killed the previous Captain in a duel and took his haori. He enjoys a good fight more than anything.and even weakens himself in an effort to make any fight last longer, such as his hair bells and his energy-draining parasite eye patch He also claims that injury and death are nothing but the price one pays for a good fight. Despite his group being the most bloodthirsty of the Thirteen Squad Captains (Gotei 13), they have a code of ethics, though different from the set rules of Soul Society.

Though he literally lives for battle, Kenpachi has shown human emotion and caring for two things: his lieutenant Yachiru (who is one of the few people he is shown to care for, along with Ikkaku, Yumichika) and his name, which he gave himself. Following his battle with Ichigo Kurosaki, in a rare moment of sorrow, Kenpachi talks about the pain of not having a name (as he lived his childhood and early adult years without one), and feels guilty that his sword isn't acknowledged by its name.

The last thing he remembers was a very enjoyable battle with Arrancar Nnoitra Jiruga ending in the death of the rude and lecherous battle loving chauvinist. He enjoys the numerous demons and people to fight, but he's beginning to miss Yachiru.

Currently, he's using his Zanpakuto to slice members of the invading army into little pieces. The soul forged weapon looks thin, but it slices threw rotting flesh and bone like a sharpened scythe threw rotting reeds. The worn looking blade is extremely effective not only cleansing Hollows, but destroying Pumpkins and zombies.

When the soul reaping blade slices the Pumpkin head, the soul or souls inside are released into the after life leaving the powerless demon to rot away. When the blade hits a hungry ghost or zombie, the demon spirits are pulled into the Gates of Hell that have appeared, floating in sky. The zombies are rotting corpses without the spirits and quickly dissolve as what corrosive demonic energy remains in the body destroys it.

There is a third type of Shinigami helping protecting the spirits of bathhouse.

She's a cute five foot eight girl with pink eyes and long blue hair done in a ponytail. She's currently wearing a a pink kimono and holding an oar. A oar currently being used as a weapon against the zombies

Botan in her world, is one of the hundreds of ferry girls of the spirit realm (a type of shinigami) responsible for guiding the souls of the recently departed to eternal judgment.After the death of a man called Yusuke Urameshi, she became involved his numerous adventures She becomes his case manager, supplying him with equipment and much of the information he needs. Botan is a kind and warm-hearted woman who has put herself in peril on several occasions to protect the people she cares about. She takes her job very seriously, although she tends to act in a very bubble headed manner.

She swings her oar and tears the head off one zombie. The decapitated zombie then proceeds to walk around blindly. She hits another zombie in the chest and releases a pulse of Reiki (spirit energy), knocking the demon spirit loose long enough to cause the body to collapse in dissolving goo.

"This is so gross. Where's Yusuke when I need him."

"Your doing fine girl." grins Zaraki, as he slashes five zombies apart with one swing, "They may be weak, but they are numerous. I can still enjoy myself a little"

Botan sweat drops at blood lusting battle loving loon she ended up fighting along side with.

A few meters away, a group of three Angels also protect the innocent and not-so innocent spirits of Yubaba's bathhouse from the Army of Darkness rejects.

A very feminine young man with long blond hair and dark eyes. He's dressed in a gold edged white jumpsuit resembling a disco outfit with white and gold shoes. As he sits, the image of a many purple energy wings appear behind him.

Mithos Yggdrasill was once a legendary hero. A person discriminated because of human/elf prejudice, but made pacts with all th summoned spirits to stop a war. Since the creation of Magi tech was the cause of the world, he created the near-omnipotent Eternal Sword, which he used to split the world in two (thereby creating the parallel worlds of Tethe'alla and Sylvarant) in order to prevent more magi-technology from being created. After his sister's death, he lost himself in her resurrection and creating a world without prejudice by making everyone the same. He was finally defeated by a group of heroes, his mind finally cleansed of the madness and sorrow.

Now his very aura of light causes the zombies to burn. His own spiritual pressure causing the demon spirits to decay and the demonic energy to be converted into heat in the rotting flesh. A sword of light forms in Mithos' hand and he then proceeds to slice threw the heads of seven zombies at the same time like a laser beam. The heads burst into white flame and a split second later, the entire bodies are consumed by white fire and crumble to fine ash.

A fourteen year old feminine boy with red eyes and short silver hair. He's dressed in a loose button up white shirt and black pants like a school uniform.

He is Kaworu Nagisa, Fifth Child , the kind friendly Evangelion pilot in the war against the angels. He is also seventeenth Angel Tabris, the Angel of Freewill. He was sent to retrieve Adam like all Angels from the Lilim (Humans), but instead found Lilith, the mother of humanity and second angel. When he discovered the deception, he asked his closest friend and fellow pilot Shinji Ikari to destroy him.

He awoke in this world, alive and free of the call of the angels. He is now possesses true free will and uses it to search for Shinji and the others of his world

A group of Preta and Zombies try to attack him, but they collide with glowing red hexagons, the sign of an AT barrier. The Absolute Terror field is a spiritual barrier generated by all life. The human AT barrier is mental, separate there minds from the minds of others. The angel AT field is a physical barrier giving them physical form from conventional attacks and can protect them from nuclear level explosions. As Kaworu once told Shinji, the AT barrier is a sacred realm of the soul, so the dark creature react as if they stepped on holy ground housing a member of the divine.

The dark spirits are shattered and ripped from there physical forms. There physical form explode into clouds of burning ash. A giant pumpkin tries to grab the human angel, but the second it's green claws come in contact to the red light, it's entire barrier bursts in a liquid resembling Lime Tang.

The last looks like a classical young angel resembling a young boy with blue eyes and wild dark brown hair with gold branches. He's dressed in a white gold-edged white toga with a blue curiass and blue shorts. He also wears brown and gold arm bands and brown sandals with leg guards. His most important feature are two feathery wings on his back, glowing gold rings around his left wrist, and a bow made of two blue and gold blades with the brown leather handles connected..

He is Pit, also known as Kid Icarus. He is Palutena, the Goddess of Light, 's most loyal servant, the captain of her army and the leader of her royal bodyguard in Angel Land. He is a young angel who fought his way out of the underworld to defeat an army of demons and save Palutena.

He fires an arrow of light that changes course several time in flight, piercing six of the creature before becoming embedded in the chest of a large six-foot-eight zombie. The holy energy of the arrow causes the wounds to burn and expand. The zombies have odd looks on there faces as a circle of light expands on there chests leaving crumbling bone. When the circle reaches the edges of the torso, the entire body is burnt clean of flesh and the brittle bones collapse to ground, shattering to powder.

Zaraki lets out a roar as he slices threw the leg bones of a multi-ton calcium giant. The giant skeleton collapses to the ground and doesn't have time to reach as the Shinigami Captain smashes threw the skull like a baseball threw a ceramic vase.

The army of skeletons also encounter problems in the form of a teenage boy with snow white hair and glowing green eyes. Danny Phantom releases glowing green ectoplasmic energy blasts that mow down the skeletons. Danny's younger female clone Dani Phantom also fires slightly weaker ghost rays to get the ones Danny missed. The stronger black bone skeletons reassemble themselves and rise to there bony feet. The weaker white skeleton remains broken bones in the water, there spirits spent.

Danny was a 14-year-old boy who gained ghost powers from a lab accident. He later chooses to use these powers to fight against malevolent ghosts, which have begun to regularly escape the mysterious Ghost Zone and plague his hometown of Amity Park. Dani was an attempt by his nemesis Vlad Plasmius to create the perfect obedient clone of Danny. Her age and gender were not the only failing features.

"Dani, Ghost Cannon!" yells Danny to his clone/cousin.

Danny and Dani land side by side in front of the skeletons. Danny gathers power in his cupped hands at his side, while Dani gathers energy on the opposite side. The two growing spherical concentration, within inches of each other, arc energy between them. They then thrust there palms forward causing the ecto green-white spheres to expand and combine into one blinding white sphere.

The two Phantoms combine there powers, which have become stronger in Halloween World's spiritual world, to create a monstrous green blast like a Wave Motion Gun. A Wave Motion Gun in sci-fi, an enormous piece of Applied Phlebotinum capable of blowing away an entire enemy fleet with one shot, and maybe even blowing up an entire planet. The immense blast of ectoplasmic energy causes the black bone soldiers to scatter into flying bones. Bones which change from black to green-white, then shatter into powder. When the light fades, all that remains is howling wind and boiling water.

A giant skeleton the size of a skyscraper appears from behind the bathhouse, it's black bones dripping water in the thick mist and it's eye socket glowing with fire. It opens it's mouth and a spherical white light forms. Then fire explodes from between the skull and mandible bone towards the weakened half-ghosts.

They are saved by Danny's girlfriend Sam Manson, who gained weaker ghost powers when they appeared in this bizarre world. She lacks most of offensive power of her boyfriend due to her inexperience, but she does produce a powerful Ectoplasmic Energy Shield. The dome-shaped "Ghost Shield" protect the three from the torrent of flames.

"It's about to give." says a sweating Sam, her white hair (ghost form hair) moving in the wind.

"Ghostly Wail." says Danny, "It's the only way."

As the fire blast ends and the ghost shield shatters like glass into a million vanishing shards, Danny opens his mouth and yells. The yell becomes a loud howling sound producing waves of green energy. The black bone giant's entire body shakes and vibrates with the howl. Slowly, the darkness fades from the bones, turning from pure black to ash grey to chalk white with cracks covering every surface. As pieces shatters and fall off, the fire in the giant's eyes fades and is extinguished. As the flames go out, the entire creature collapses into a shower of fragments and bone dust.

Zaraki watches the largest opponent collapse into dust and is torn between congratulating the white haired teen, asking him for a fight, or pouting about missing the strongest opponent.


A small group of Jack O Lanterns and zombie make it into one of the private areas. They find a young woman with long white hair dressed in Eastern Priestess robe mediating. She is so deep into her meditation she doesn't notice them, but her companions do.

Her companions are special creatures from another world, creatures called Pokémon.

The first is small plant-like creature standing two feet tall, eleven pounds, with blue eyes, pale green skin with darker green legs and a darker end of it's elongated head. It also has blue tipped antenna and insect wings.

Serebii or Celebi is a Legendary Pokémon has the ability to travel across time to peaceful periods. Now it's partner's hope is for Serebii to find a new future.

The second is smaller with dark eyes, pale blue skin, and golden star-shaped "hat" (actually part of it's head). It has three green objects hanging from the tips resembling ofuda and a pair of golden ribbons coming from it's back. It also has a larger third eye on it's stomach but it's closed.

Jirachi is a legendary Pokémon with the ability to grant any wish for one week every thousand years. The young Jirachi may be the future hope for the world.

The third is small, white hedgehog-like creature. It's the smallest at only eight inches and four point six pounds, with green plant leaves instead of quills and six pointed pink flowers with large leaves on either side of it's head like flower blossoms in a girl's hair.

Shaymon or Sheimi lives in flower patches and avoid detection by curling up to look like a flowering plant, but in this world it's power to dissolve toxins in the air to instantly transform ruined land into a lush field of flowers. It may be tiny, but the little Grass Pokémon holds the seeds to the future.

There origin is a young girl named Candice Mariya Popov

Before Halloween, she was the problem child of two drunken parents of Russian descent. She was a juvenile delinquent who spent her time stealing and cheating others. She was envious of others, stole what ever she could for her own Greed, refused to do any form of honest work, hated her parents and anybody that got in her way, lusted after any boy with a high enough social position (i.e. Rich) and took Pride in thievery. She even ate food with a severe gluttony and was only saved from obesity by a fast metabolism. She lived life without love, honor, or even honesty

When she was forced to go out Halloween night by her parents. So she wore a cheap long white robe, a set of prayer beads her grandparents got at Woodstock '69 (Strange since Japa mala are 108 prayer beads found in Hinduism and Buddhism ), and a string of gold and silver leaves from old Christmas decorations. She also painted a few Toy Pokéballs gold and silver. That costume combined with her natural white blond hair and glass-like blue eyes made her look like a virgin Fantasy priestess.

When Halloween's chaos magic hit, her body, her mind, her very spirit were broken apart and remade into an almost divine Priestess with memories of Pokémon world. A loyal servant of Earth possessing Chastity, Temperance, Charity, Diligence, Patience, Kindness, and Humility. A woman filled with honor, honest, and dedication, all which she didn't possess pre Halloween..

She now travels like a strange combination of a Priestess and American legend Johnny Appleseed, going from colony to colony, healing a people with her own clerical power and using Shaymon's power to heal the land and grow edible and medicinal flowers and flowering plants.

Serebii raises it's tiny hands and the pumpkin monsters suddenly stop moving. As Serebii's eyes glow and it moves it's arms, the Jack O Lanterns move like puppets on strings. The long claws of the plant monsters tear threw the heads of zombies and implant seeds. In seconds, each zombie is covered in vines. The vines are compressed and a gourd appears around the shattered skull. As the zombies are converted into more pumpkin monsters, they are also controlled by little legend.

There feet, there roots dig into the ground and many small pumpkins form on each creature, there combined weight forcing each one to the ground. The unlit wax and oil are released into the floor boards.

Shaymin then digs into the floor and releases a pulse of green energy. The Jack O Lanterns can't even scream as the souls are released and the demonic toxins are purged by the little hedgehog's ability to purify the land. The plant monsters instead of collapsing into rot or ash, rapidly mutate into giant vine-covered Pumpkin plants covered in red/orange flowers. The last to fade are the faces of the pumpkins, leaving behind normal farming plants.

Candice opens her eyes and says "May your souls find rest."


Yubaba's office


Yubaba is freaking out. The giant-heated old woman has spent months since Halloween night increasing the bathhouse into the spirit world's greatest resort. Now it's being attacked by undead

There are two girls in the room with her as she rants.

The first girl has long blue hair done in two curly ponytails with two curls in front of her ears She's dressed as a Gothic Lolita, a style in which a person dresses in Rococo, Victorian-style or Edwardian fashion and often aims to imitate the look of Victorian children or porcelain dolls.

The second girl has long dark blue hair with a flowers on the left side. She's dressed in dark kimono with large obi. She's currently curled into the fetal position and shaking.

"Zashiki-warashi, are you alright?" asks Yubaba, showing rare concern for the vestal spirit.

"It's the jyaki (evil aura)." explains rain spirit Ame-warashi, "She may have gained resistance in the new spirit world, but the evil guiding the invaders is so malicious and full of blood lust."

"It's there any way to stop them and save my resort, Ame?" asks Yubaba

"I'm sensing the guests are fighting them and many have immense power."


Men's Area


Aang makes erratic, circular movements avoiding the rotting hands of his undead attackers. Aang spins creating a mini tornado that pulls several zombies off there feet into the air. As they fall, he makes several fast motions releasing compressed air blasts that send the undead flying.

Zuko's defense is a good offense with fast, aggressive attacks and techniques. Each punch releases a burst of fire that causes a zombie to ignite. Normal fire would take time to burn, but spiritual flame of a new world Fire bender consumes the undead cremating them.

Riku uses his Chevalier strength and speed, combined with Saya's almost religious sword training to decapitate and dismember the zombies. Ever since he appeared in this world with his adopted sister, fearing he would die protecting her again, has been teaching him. He's glad the bathhouse didn't make him surrender there weapons.

The zombie pieces don't stop moving when they are severed, but they are slowed since they are separated from there power source. Riku kicks a severed arm off his leg, when it's more than ten meters from the main body it runs out of energy and rots leaving bones to hit the ground.

BANG BANG KABANG!

Ganju's earth magic may not be much use in a bathhouse, but he's also skilled with fireworks like his older sister. The fiery explosions filled with spiritual energy reduce zombies into showers of rotting meat nuggets.

One large (seven foot) zombie who could have been another Halloween horror in life tries to attack from behind, but Genju ducks and does a sweep kick knocking the giant's feet from under him. He then tosses an object under the creature before he hits the ground. Genju slams his fist into the ground and the water proof fireworks detonate under the zombie.

Genju gets up, but a rotting hand lands on his shoulder. He turns to see the giant zombie standing with a giant hole in the upper torso. He moves with the stability of a pancake, the hole is so large, the entire chest is gone leaving the head and arms connected by a ring of charred meat. Genju jerks his arm free, tearing off one of the arms, the other arm and head snap off and fall to ground leaving the legs to wander off.

Koga moves using his superhuman speed to move around the room, unaffected by the damp floor. He does several kicks that either sends a zombie flying into the walls, tear off it's head, or tear it in half at the waist. A couple of zombie manage to grab his arm by change, but Koga turns in midair his fist glowing with blue flame. The glowing fist strikes the front zombie with the force to destroy a small mountain. In a fiery blast the zombie is reduced to dust and the other two are shredded.


The Koi Pond


A group of more than two hundred skeletons rush to kill, armed with blades made of bone. They are instantly reduced to powder by Seth Nightroad's "Fire of Sound" attack. The cloud swirls across the waters of the fish pond, meaning those fish with physical bodies will never have calcium deficiency.

Father Abel Nightroad activates his nanomachines at a low level releasing his blood scythe. He then uses the multi bladed weapon to slice fifty zombies into small pieces. The pieces are so small, they begin to dissolve the second they hit the ground.

Arshes releases a powerful lightning attack, that burns threw and arcs from zombie to zombie. For a minute it looks like the end of Indiana Jones and the Lost Ark, when the Ark of the Covenant fried the Nazis. They then burst one by one into flames and collapse into thirty piles of burning bones.

The Homunculi are having extremely easy time with there attackers, since they all possess regeneration and near immortality, and each possesses a unique power.

Lust moves with trained speed with her fingers lengthened into claws thinner than human hairs. A couple dozen zombies and pumpkins pause as thin lights streak across there bodies, then explode into pieces. The demonic vegetation and animated flesh are chopped up faster than a chief's salad.

Pride reveals his eye tattooed with a red dragon biting it's tail. The eye allows him to predict the future, allowing him to predict the movements of each pumpkin and zombie. He then uses his saber, a weapon he acquired recently in this world, to slice off the heads of the zombies and slice threw the heads of the pumpkins. He's precise enough that the heads are knocked far enough away from the zombies to destroy them and the souls housed in the pumpkins are released.

Envy does several acrobatics, delivering punches and kicks that nearly implode the skulls of his demon-animated attackers. He then shape shifts his arms into long blades and cut the zombies apart as viciously as possible. One zombie manages to bite Envy's shoulder, but the Homunculus knocks it away in angry and then grabs the jaw of the undead, ripping it off.

Sloth flows around her attackers and throws them into each other with watery tentacles. It's interesting to note that water doesn't compress, so the police of the old world used that fact to create a bomb defuser. Using an explosive water cannon they were able to destroy the detonators to bombs. Sloth fires steel-hard water jets to impale the zombies and tear them open. She also sends water into there torsos causing them to burst.

Gluttony showing fate's irony, consumes half a dozen Preta. Those who devour the corpses of the dead for the sins they committed in life are devoured by Gluttony.

Gluttony makes a face and says, "Need Salt."


Outside the Bathhouse


Two figures dressed in hooded black cloaks appear outside the Bathhouse in front of the two frightened guards. There cloaks ripple in a fierce generated by there own demonic auras.

The first figure's cloak is burnt away by the fiery deep red aura to reveal a tall muscular man dressed in a black leather catsuit with many belts and his limbs covered in straps secured by metal loops. Half it's face is covered in a skull-like bone mask minus the mandible, while the lower jaw is covered by a leather that leaves the lower teeth exposed. The bone mask also has a pair of dark polished ram horns on the sides. He also carries a silvery solid metal dagger, like a small sword blade without a hand guard. It's connected to his wrist by a long thin chain between the ring pommel to a loop near the right wrist.

The second figure's cloak dissolves in a misty dark green aura to reveal as tall, thin man in a similar black leather catsuit, but instead of belts and rings, he has dark green bandages covering his abdominal area, his legs between the knees and ankles, and his arms from between the shoulder and elbow down. On the back of each hand are two long curved bone blades like pairs of venomous snake fangs. His mask is also very different, instead of ram horns it has ridges and scales carved into the bone making it look snake like.

They blur and rush inside the bathhouse and as the two Ao-gaeru guarding the doors fall to ground, dead


A Hallway


A group of fast-moving zombies run down the hall in search of flesh chasing several frightened Yuna. One of the younger Yuna falls to ground and the zombies would grin if they had emotions beyond the primitive need to feed.

Suddenly, a black haired woman dressed in red flips over the Yuna and lands between the zombies and there intended victim. Cordelia smirks , then makes a fast motion with her arms.

An explosion of flame erupts from Cordelia and travels down the hallway like a wave of destruction. The fire finally stops at the broken doors at the end of the hall and disperses. Ash and charred bone fragments fall to ground. One very thick and resistant skull lands on the ground with a hollow sound.

Anko, Ino, Tenten, Sheena, Sakura, Ino, Hinata, Ty Lee, Mai, Katara, and Kagura stare at the blast's power.

"No time to stare." says Yuruichi next to Nel Tu, "I'm sensing two larger powers heading towards medical.'


Medical


Red Ram and Green Snake have reached there targets, but have encountered problems.

"Silver Eclipse Kiss!"

"Mars Flame Sniper!"

"Jupiter Forest Dragons!"

"Sectumsempra Maximus!"

Ram is blown back down the hall by Moon's light and darkness and Mar's sacred flames. Snake is blown back covered in lightning and covered in deep sword like slashes. As they hit the ground, Ram releases red-black blood that cuts threw the floor like acid and Snake releases a foul dark green liquid that fumes in contact with air.

Red Ram rises to his feet, not showing any form of pain or indication of injury other than the damage to his clothing and the blood-like substance. and extends his arm letting the dagger dangle by it's chain. A red aura swirls down his arm, following the chain, and into the dagger.

"Ansatsumaru kiritateru" (Assassination Circle Slay them All)

Red Ram spins the dagger creating a ring with the glow of dagger, the circle suddenly gets smaller and red lights flash by Usagi and Rei like laser beams. They both cry out in pain as there back explode into crimson sprays, then collapse to the ground.

"Usagi! Rei!" scream Makoto, Lavender and Monet

Green Snake roars releasing his green aura then channels it into his hand weapons.

"Dokujamaru, Dokuga Kai" (poisonous serpent circle poison fang release)

Green Snake appears in front of Makoto and Lavender using speed beyond the speed of sound. His arms glowing brightly ram into there stomach , then while surrounded by green auras resembling snakes, sending them flying into the medical room and threw the back wall. A cloud of dust and green aura explodes outward on impact and Makoto and Lavender are on the other side of hole unconscious.

Monet moves close while the arms are still extended and delivers an uppercut hoping to shatter the monster's skull. Instead of breaking the skull, the neck extends over five meters. Then the head whips back like a striking snake and releases a poisonous green fog from it's mouth. The young mutant may be near invulnerable, but she still needs to breathe and passes out from the supernatural toxin.

The two demon assassins move forward only to receive a hundred shots. Rushuna's blessed bullets tear holes into there joints. Hepzibah and Kiyone's laser blasts pierce them and ignite there backs into flames. The large armor piercing rounds from Ceres' cannon and Ripley's mini-gun shred them like Swiss cheese. Tsukasa uses her magic to help her injured comrades.

The demon assassins rise from the ground, even covered in large holes and tears. Green Snake is covered in a green fog and Red Ram is covered red-black liquid that burns in several areas.

"Ansatsumaru kiritateru"

Red Ram takes his dagger in hand, which extends into a long thin sword. He slashes the air with the now long blade and half the blade vanishes into air like cutting an invisible object. The end of the blade appears in front of Ripley and Ceres, who both jump back. There weapons are cut apart by the supernaturally sharp blade.

"Dokujamaru, Dokuga Kai"

Green Snake seems to melt and flow, as his arms, legs, and neck extend. The green aura forms a serpentine beast composed of three giant snakes. With one snake forming a head and torso and the other two forming the arms with the hands as snakes and legs ending in the tail ends.

He strikes Rushuna, Tsukasa, Hepzibah, Ripley, Saya, and Ceres sending them all flying into walls hard enough to either tear threw or create craters.

Suddenly, the ground beneath Green Snake explodes upward into a pillar of sand, that wraps around the snake-theme assassin. The mass of sand tightens and rises into the air as Gaara walks out of the medical room with his hand extended and clenched.

"Sabaku Kyuu" (Desert Coffin)

"Dokujamaru, ..."

"Sabaku Sousou!!" (Desert Funeral)

The sand implodes, crushing Snake including the Dokujamaru fangs on his hands. The green blood turns into a poison mist, but it's mostly contained by the sand. The assassin is dead this time, his snake mask shatter and the entire body dissolves into vanishing black dust.

"Ansatsumaru kiritateru"

The Ram slashes threw space with blade and slices off Gaara's head. A head which shatters into sand when it hits the ground revealing the decapitated Gaara to be Suna Bushin (Sand Clone).

"Okiro, Benihime." (Awaken, Crimson Princess)

The Ram turns at the voice and sees Urahara standing with her sword.

"Nake!" (Sing!)

A crimson-colored energy blast erupts from the blade and Ram tries to block with his own sword and aura, since the hallway is too narrow to fast to dodge. There is a split second pause as the blast hits the demonic energy shield, tear it breaks threw and shatters Ansatsumaru. The blast also destroys half the upper torso, one of the arms, and part of the face and neck. A red and black mist crawls around the empty space like tentacles of a shadowy creature.

The finally comes in a flash of yellow light. Yondaime, Minato Namikaze, appears with a spiraling ball of wind and chakra in his hand. A ball which he slams into the head of Ram horned demon assassin.

"RASENGAN!" (Spiral Sphere!)

The sphere of spinning chakra, like a mini-cyclone, grinds threw the skull-like mask and it's winds break the ram horns. Minato's original technique takes off half the head in one blow. The rest of the body turns grey and shatters into vanishing black mist.

Cordelia and the others arrive late for the fight.

In the medical room, Naruto, Carrot, Kyuzou, and Schmendrick are cared for under the gaze of Dr. Otoha, his snail assistants, and his cat.


It took nearly a week to remove the remain traces of the Undead army. In total, two thousand five hundred Pumpkins, two thousand zombies, and one thousand six hundred skeletons including the giants were destroyed. Five hundred Preta were destroyed and the few remaining, no longer controlled, are devouring the remains of the zombies that didn't dissolve.

Yubaba is glad her guests saved her resort, so she takes a small percentage of there bills. She can't reduce the price more since she needs money for repairs and the fact that she's very cheap

"How many are going with us to magic town?" asks Cordelia to Anko

"Danny Phantom, Sam Manson, Dani Phantom, Envy, Pride, Sloth, Kirara, Hachiemon, Koga, Myoga, Kanna, Yoruichi, Nel Tu, Kenpachi Zaraki, Botan, and Ganju Shiba. That's sixteen. The bus would be completely full if Kirara couldn't become a kitten and Myoga wasn't a flea demon."

"If this keeps up, we'll need to new bus. Is everyone ready to go?"

"We have resupplied, but according to what fox lady said said we'll be in Magic Town in a couple of days."

"I suspected those Yuna were exaggerating the distance." says Cordelia, causing flame to swirl around her fist, "I also suspect they were inflating there prices."


Magic Town Magia


Magia is town to the far south. As the machine city of Machina to far North is filled with robots, cyborgs, and beings from science fiction engineers, Magia is filled with mages, magical creatures, and creatures of sword and sorcery fantasy.

While the cold logical city Machina has the wall, a powerful security, and policy of virtually no privacy, Magia is far more secretive. They use a combination of spiritual and magical barriers to hide the city on and under a isolated island and only use magic doors and teleportation spells to travel to and from the city. As a result, Magia's population is smaller than Machina with Machina having five point seven million and Magia having just over three million.

Today, those possessing the ability to sense the future and/or those who can detect high power levels sense something approaching Magia.


Three strangers from the Tokugawa era sit at a local bar known The Mago Borracho. They watch as several patrons in even extremely drunken state react to something unseen.

The first is a twenty year old man standing five foot eleven with shoes, a hundred thirty pounds, with brown eyes and shaggy brown hair resembling an afro. He's dressed in a red gi that he wears like a jacket and black hakama are cut off to shorts. He also wears Geta - a form of traditional Japanese footwear that resembles both clogs and flip-flops. They are a kind of sandal with an elevated wooden base held onto the foot with a fabric thong to keep the foot well above the ground. He also carries a white hilt double-edged tsurugi with two-prong hilt on his back.

A brash vagabond and former pirate from the Ryukyu Islands, Mugen is a wandering sword for hire with a wildly unconventional fighting style that resembles break-dancing and capoeira. He wears metal-soled Geta. Rude, lewd, vulgar, and nihilistic, Mugen is somewhat of an antihero. Some of his actions seem to represent an amorality, indicating that he operates more on instinct than anything else.

The second is a twenty year old man standing five foot ten (five foot eleven with sandals), one hundred twenty three pounds with dark brown eyes behind a pair of anachronistic wire-rimmed glasses (thin "intellectual" glasses) and long dark brown hair tied in a ponytail with two large lochs on either side of the face. He wears traditional hakama and gi in indigo blue patterned with a white diamond kamon made up of four small white diamonds, black trousers, black sandals, and a Buddhist Rosary around his right ankle. He's carries in a more traditional manner, a katana and wakizashi with a lightning and twin-eyed design on the tsuba.

Jin is a Ronin, a master-less Samurai, who spent the vast majority of his life training in kenjutsu dojos. Unlike Mugen, it is legal for him to carry a daisho (two matching swords: a katana and a wakizashi), as he is of the samurai class. When he was 18, he was to be assassinated in his sleep by his sensei, Mariya Enshirou, at Kariya Kagetoki's insistence. Jin killed Mariya in self-defense, to his horror. He fled the dojo, becoming a ronin. His death was sought by many, including former classmates and not limited to fame-seekers. Jin is usually taciturn and unusually collected. He is an extremely skilled swordsman, using swift, refined, orthodox moves of the Mujushin Kenjutsu discipline, making him the perfect foil for Mugen.

The third is a fifteen year old girl standing five foot three, eighty pounds with light brown eyes and dark brown hair done in traditional style. She's dressed in a flower-print kimono with a wide obi done in bow and sandals on her small feet.

She is Fuu Kasumi, a teenage girl of samurai lineage, but brought up in poverty. After a not-so-successful stint as a teahouse waitress, she saves Mugen and Jin from execution and recruits them as her bodyguards to help her on a quest. She is searching for the Samurai who smells of Sunflowers, but never explains what a sunflower smells like or what the man looks like. Mugen and Jin are often reminded of their life-debt to her when they wish to fight each other, much to their chagrin. Without her father around to support them, Fuu and her mother led a difficult life until her mother died of illness.

The last Mugen, Jin and Fuu remembering is going there separate way after standing at a crossroads. Then they woke to find themselves surrounded by magic and monsters.

"What's going on? Do they sense something?" says Mugen

"I'm sensing something now as well." says Jin beginning to shiver.

"Are you cold?" asks Mugen

"No." says a woman's voice from the door, "All the sensitives can detect two enormous powers heading towards Magia. One is a group from a Northern Colony, the other we can't sense because of it's evil aura."

The Seer is a beautiful woman standing five foot seven half with hazel eyes, long brown hair, and a very familiar face. The face is the same as Cordelia Chase and the body is clad in dark purple like an exotic dancer.

A Seer is a demoness revered because of their rare powers to see the future at will. This Seer is known as Kira and has a few extensive powers including to see the future instantly. She became good and betrayed the underworld in her reality and made a deal with the Charmed Ones, the three most powerful witch sisters in the world and forces of good, to make her human for an exchange of information. She was killed by a powerful demon known as Zankou, because he was afraid of what she might tell the sisters, and for her betrayal.

Next to her is a young woman with two wolves and small girl dressed as a princess.

The young woman has brown eyes and short light brown hair. She has red slash-like facial markings and is dressed in white top over a dark blue tunic with leather ties on her upper arms and waist and white shoes. She also wears earrings with white discs, a necklace of fangs with a blue crystal pendant, and a cloak of white fur.

She stands next to a pair of giant white wolves.

She is San, also known as Princess Mononoke, a human who was abandoned by her human parents and adopted by Moro, the mother of the Wolf clan. The wolf god took her in to raise as her own with her own two cubs. She fought to protect the forest from the humans, fighting with the Boar Clan against the human mercenaries of Iron Town. In the end, she and Prince Ashitaka saved everyone and developed a lasting piece between the humans and the forest.

The young girl looks like an eight year old standing four foot, eighty eight pounds, with big pink eyes and long blue hair done in two ponytails and two thin lochs over her ears. She's wearing a white frill pink dress and white shoes. What's strange is in the reflection of the window behind her is an older woman around twenty three standing around five foot six.

Sesami Jurai is the second crown princess of planet Jurai, who followed her sister Aeka in search of there half-brother Yosho. Yosho vanished chasing after the space pirate Ryoko, who caused massive amounts of destruction when she attacked the planet. It was also in this attack that her life was forever changed.

While visiting the nursery of Royal Space Trees, an attack shook the platform and she fell to what was to be her death. Tsunami, Patron Goddess of Jurai and progenitor of all Space Trees linked with her transforming her into an Avatar. What that means is when Sesami grows up, they will merge and be one person you can Sesami. or Tsunami. .

"We must be ready to meet our guests and our enemy." says Kira


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. With him stands S-Class Missing Nin Itachi Uchiha, Shinigami Captain Byakuya Kuchiki, game master Seto Kaiba with two of dragons flying above, fighter Adelheid Bernstein, demon hunting half-demon Vergil, and mad shaman Hao Asakura riding his Spirit of Fire.

"It's strange. I once sought to destroy all humans and create a shaman paradise. I've hated them since they killed my mother a thousand years ago. It was the same fake priest that killed my mother, that was my first kill." says Hao, he then shakes himself out of the memories, "Now with the world changed, even the weakest of humans can see and communicate with spirits."

"What do mean, Hao?" says Emily, having lost most of fear, "I can see spirits and ghosts, but what does that prove?"

Hao smiles and goes into teaching mode.

"Spiritual energy is like the light of a soul and is composed of spiritual particles like light is composed of photons. Different forms of spiritual energy such as Youki used by demons and Reiki used by human souls have different wavelengths hence the color difference when an aura manifests." says Hao enjoying himself, "With the spiritual density of the world increased, there Reiatsu - a power aligned with the spiritual sensitivity and willpower of the user- is increased. Furyoku is a term used by Shamans to determine the measure of sixth sense a person possesses. It's increased by exposure to higher spiritual pressure and near death experiences, which also happens a lot in this world."

"It's like heat or air pressure?" asks Emily, "Warm air goes to cold. High pressure goes to low pressure. A person with low spiritual energy absorbs energy from a person with higher energy, until they become aware of spiritual world and begin to interact."

"Yes. It not only acts like light, but air as well. That is why Qi, the Chinese word for life force or spiritual energy also known as Chi or Ki in Japan, literally translate to "air", "breath", or "gas." '

'You, Emily, already possess a high level of Furyoku. If we were in my original world, you would be a Shaman.and competing in the Shaman Fight."

Seto Kaiba is paying close attention without look like he is. Hao's little explanation of spiritual energy helps him greatly as he's a man of science and has problems dealing with magical phenomenon.

Suddenly, a massive twenty meter tall demon resembling a muscular oni with black skin, white hair, and golden horns appears out of the woods. The creature stops roaring and lets it's clawed arms hang and it's fang-filled mouth wide open. It then falls forward, it's arms detaching at the shoulders and it's severed head tumbling off it's neck.

As it hits the ground, three more figures land on there feet in front of Lord Sesshomaru

The first is a male demon standing four foot ten with crimson eyes and spiky black hair sticking up like black flame. He also has a large third eye on the forehead. He's dressed in sleeveless black shirt and black pants with black shoes and a red sash around his waist. He also has bandages wrapped around his right arm and holds a sharp looking double edge sword currently dripping dead demon blood.

"Hiei Jaganshi" (Hiei of the Evil Eye.)

Hiei is the offspring of a mating between a Koorime (Hina) and an unknown fire demon. Hina is born a Koorime, a race of self-reproductive (asexual?) ice demons who are all female. She fell in love with a fire demon and bore his son. However, this kind of action is considered a crime in the Island of the Koorimes, which floats above the Makai- the demon world

Thus because of this and the fact that he was a male, he was given the title, "The Forbidden Child", and as an infant was thrown overboard by Rui, Hina's best friend. Before she did, however, she told the infant that if he must, he should come back and take revenge upon the Koorimes. Hina shed two tears which turned into gems, one for Hiei and one for his sister, Yukina, who is full fledged Koorime. Then he was thrown off.

Hiei survived and became a powerful demon. In time, he gained the Jagan for the price of never telling his sister the truth about him. He learned his sister Yukina had left the destroyed island and learned his mother had committed suicide over losing him. He traveled to Ningenkai (Human World) looking for his sister, and became friends of the reincarnated youkai thief Kurama and after a failed plan to gain power using artifacts stolen from the Reikai (Spirit World), he found his sister with the help of the same people who defeated him.

Hiei is an extremely powerful youkai possesses superhuman speed and agility, the Jagan's ability to manipulate minds, and his techniques which draw darkness flames from the demon world into attacks, such as dragons, fist, or sword attacks. It was one of the reasons he was selected to be one of the next overlords of Makai.

The last thing he remembered was doing his chosen task of escorting humans who have accidentally wandered into the Demon Realm back to the Human Realm.

The second male youkai stands six foot three, a hundred seventy eight pounds, with dark eyes and spiky black hair. He also has the long taped ears and elaborate birth marks that indicate a youkai in his world. He's dressed in a white Chinese-style coat with white pants, arm bands, and boots. He also carries a big curved sword, which is also stained with demon blood.

"Dokugakuji, servant of the demon prince Kougaiji"

His real name is Sha Jien, a full youkai (water sprite/kappa to be Precise) who killed his mother to prevent her from killing his half-human brother Sha Gojyo. He's good-natured, friendly, and not totally evil, but he does have blind devotion to Kougaiji, who helped him find meaning in his life. This brought him into conflict with his brother, but they still remember being brothers.

The third man is dressed in a hooded black cloak.
