Chapter 1: Welcome to the Academy
Chapter Text
Inside the insanely large amphitheatre classroom, several confused individuals were around, wondering what just happened. While most of them did not look anywhere like students, they certainly were anxious about what was happening.
"What the hell is going on?" A blonde girl clad in a tub top and baggy pants roared as she recognized no one.
~ Leone (Akame ga Kill) ~
"The hell are you?" The girl standing beside her yelled back. She had long silver hair attached in a ponytail and had a deep scar running her face. Being clad in a school uniform, one could dedict she would be around 15 to 18.
~ Banba Shin'ya (Akuma no Riddle) ~
"Wait. Let's calm down, everyone." An individual clad in a medieval armor got in between the two. The person had a childish face and long pink hair attached in French braids.
~ Astolfo (Fate/Apocrypha) ~
While these three were gathered there, several people just watched, not wanting to get involved in the trouble. Among them was a girl with very long raven hair and clad in an orange priestess outfit. She frowned, confused. "What is this place?"
~ Himemiya Chikane (Kannazuki no Miko) ~
Beside her stood a meek girl with shord red hair and clad in a short red dress. She seemed at total unease since there were no one she recognized around.
~ Izetta (Shuumatsu no Izetta) ~
"This is insane." A slime standing atop a large table commented to no one in particular. "Did I get teleported into another world again?"
~ Rimuru Tempest (Tensei Shitara Slime Datta Ken) ~
"Oh my~" A young girl whose hair was attached in twintails turned to the slime. It was not the first time she was sent into another world and despite being scared, she knew there was no need to panic. "So cute~"
~ Wendy Marvel (Fairy Tail) ~
At the corner of the room though stood several other individuals, less social but certainly as confused as everyone. "Hmmm..." The individual clad in a full armor from head to hells folded their arms.
~ Goblin Slayer (Goblin Slayer) ~
There was also a young boy wearing a baggy school uniform who had very little presence and hid in the shadow waiting. "Let us wait for now..."
~ Shiota Nagisa (Assassination Classroom) ~
As everyone else seemed worried, one person seemed calm though. He was already trapped in a game before so he just needed to wait and solve the puzzle this time. The boy was wearing a long black coat and a sword rested on his belt.
~ Kirigaya Kazuto/Kirito (Sword Art Online) ~
Beside him stood a rather short individual wearing what seemed like a medieval suit and a green cape. He had some weird mechanical devices to stock the blades of his swords. "The hell is this filthy place?"
~ Levi Ackerman (Shingeki no Kyojin) ~
"W-what do I do?" A girl who seemed completely normal among the mass panicked, yet stunned in place. She was clad in a tracksuit, her short brown hair covering one eye. "Hinata... save me..."
~ Hoshino Miyako (Watashi ni Tenshi ga Maiorita) ~
Near the blackboard, a boy wearing a black school uniform with tight collar waited. He had short raven hair while his eyes are red and the motif of a bird on them. "It looks like everyone here is weird. One thing is sure, this is not the world I know. Better be careful."
~ Lelouche vi Britania (Code Geass) ~
The last individual in the class was unlike everyone as she quietly sat on the front row. She was not human is one judged the pair of black wings on her back. She could just look normal though with the medieval style dress and short dark hair attached in buns.
~ Myrrh (Fire Emblem) ~
"Sorry for the wait!" After what seemed like an eternity, the door to the classroom finally opened. Weirdly enough, said doors and windows were all locked but open up all at once as a handsome man wearing a complete suit walked in. He was rather intimidating with the short blue hair and his way of walking.
"Who the hell are you?" Leone and Shin'ya yelled at once, approaching the man. Before they could do anything, a very dark aura stunned them.
The teacher stopped in front of his dest and glared at everyone. Said people shivered at the threatening danger, even Kirito. "I am Amai Mask and will be one of your teacher."
~ Amai Mask (One Punch Man) ~
"Pray explain yourself." Lelouche asked discreetly, trying to keep his calm facade as to not seem weak, yet not provocating the man calling himself Amai Mask.
"You people were summoned on this world for one reason." A very intimidating man walked in. He was clad in a suit and his long black hair was cut past ears. What stood up the most were his pair of black feather wings and horns atop the head.
~ Kazama Jin (Tekken) ~
"Have you already heard about the war between worlds?"
"What do you mean?" Goblin Slayer asked, unfolding his arms.
"Actually, this world is composed of thousands of parallel universe called the Anime Multiverse-"
"What a lame name." Shin'ya commented mentally before letting go of a sigh and listed to what Jin had to say.
"Some of the dimensions has recently discovered a way to move into another dimense. That phenomena is called isekai. Recently, a group of powerful being has been gathered in another parallel universe and they plan on taking every single world one. From now on, you people will be trained by us so you can defend your world and the people you care about."
Silence filled the room for a moment before Miyako raised a hand very reluctantly. "Why me...? I mean I have no special power so why am I here?"
"You do have." Another person entered the room. This one was a woman clad in a house dress, her long red hair let down. Like the other teachers, she also had a dark aura around her. "Some of you might not have noticed but you all have insane potential. Some of you were limited by your dimension's rule or someone else. We are going to teach you how to control your power though."
~ Uzumaki Kushina (Naruto) ~
"And why should we listen to you?" Leone asked.
Astolfo wanted to stop her but he was also curious about the whole situation. He didn't feel like he was summoned this time because there seemed no link with anyone present on the room.
"We have no reason to lie to you all." The red-head explained. "I was astonished myself when a group of people has approached me and explained the situation. It might be hard to accept at first but I pray of you all to keep your calm for now. We will explain everything slowly but surely so everyone understand."
There was another moment of silence before Lelouche sighed and walked toward the front table. "Fine then! I guess I can lend a ear." He commented. 'Since there is nothing left I could do on my world as I left everything to Suzaku.'
The others were a little reluctant but little by little took seat. As everyone took place, one last individual stepped into the room. This one had spiky black hair and was wearing a chinese orange outfit. "Sorry for the wait!"
~ San Goku (Dragon Ball) ~
"I overslept. My bad." He apologized, making everyone else to sweatdrop. The man just cleared his throat and stood in front of the blackboard, facing the newcomers. "First of all, I must thank you all for your cooperation and calmness. Long story short, I am the chairman of this school, Goku. Recently, several worlds has been destroyed by godlike powerful human beings so this is our way of counterattack. I know it sound weird but I beg of you all to cooperate so we can survive this crisis."
With that, he gave a polite bow and stepped back, allowing the only woman teacher to take the relay. "Since it is our first time meeting and since we are going to be together for a while, let us get along well and introduce each others. My name is Uzumaki Kushina and I am a Kunoichi."
"Kunoichi?" The unfamiliar people with the term woundered but decided to not pray too much into it.
"I am Kazama Jin!" The intimidating teacher just said calmly. "Count on me to train you all hard so you won't die meaninglessly on the battlefield."
Miyako shivered at these words. "Man! I want to go home..."
"As I said earlier," this time was the blue-haired teacher's turn. "I am Amai Mask and I will be your main teacher. Cowards wil not be tolerated and punished severely."
With the teacher's presentation done, everyone was aware the different of strength is too much. Doing anything reckless would be bad so they went with the flow. The girl sitting on the first row with repunzer hair was the first to stand up. "I am Himemiya Chikane, a Miko."
"There is no need to hide anything. The reason most of you are here is because you did something awful in your world and need to atone for these sins." Jin commented. "Sharing them might not be bad as to build a relation of confidence."
Chikane sighed. She didn't want to say anything that could put her privacy in danger but some force kept pressuring her mind, as if someone was mentally provocating her. After a good moment of thinking, she decided to say part of truth but not everything. "I hurt the people I liked so they would hate me as to save the world. In the end, I felt lonely and want to find them again."
"That's such a honest answer~" Kushina praised the girl who sat down. "Everyone, please do like Himemiya-san did and reveal everything weighting your heart. Everyone here has something in common; a painful past, so I am sure we can get along well."
At these words, the Manakete nodded and stood up. Everyone's attention turned to her as it was not everyday that they got to meed a dracogirl. "I am Myrrh. Truth is my name is longer but since the humans couldn't speak it, it became forgotten. On my continent named Magvel, there are races of people known as Manakete able to transform into dragon and I am the last of them. My sin is not being able to save the other Manakete."
After that, she sat back down in silence. The other people felt sad for her but the Lelouche decided to stand up. "I am Lelouche vi Britania, a student. My world was ravaged by war, my folk enslaved and tortured. Few months ago though, a group of juice's ally has risen to save the people. My only regret is not being able to see my sister's smile again."
"Poor thing..." Leone commented before standing up. She was on the second row so it was normal her turn came. "Now, about me; I am Leone and as long as you don't do stupid shits, we can get along well."
"Language!" Kushina gave a threatening aura, sending cold chills down the blonde's throat.
The imperial arm user gulped and decided to continue. "My world was ruled by corruption and inequality so a group of people stood to kill the manipulative bastards. In the end, I was wounded badly and lost my imperial arm before having the occasion to declare my flame to the girl I like." At that, the image of a girl with long raven hair and crimson irises flashed in her mind. "That's all!"
Some of the people around were confused by her last sentence. For people from advanced world, same-sex relationship was nothing new but some others were still flustered like the young Sky Dragon Slayer, whose turn has come.
"M-my name is Wendy Marvel and I am a Sky Dragon Slayer. I am also member of a mage guild named Fairy Tail on the Kingdom of Fiore." She said, her mind turning dizzy, not used to so many people looking at her at once. "E-eh... T-thuth is... recently, an undead wizard has attacked our hometown and killed lot of people. My biggest regret was to not be able to save Chelia who sacrificed herself for my sake."
She then sat down, her eyes empty and ready to pass away any time. The blonde beside her patted her head. "Are you okay, Wendy?"
The girl just nodded weakly. "Sorry for that. I am not used to speaking in front that many people. Also, I am still confused about these worlds stuff."
"You're still young so you shouldn't think too much about complex things. Even though that dude is suspicious." Leone pointed at Amai Mask. "One thing is sure, no way in hell I am letting you die without doing anything. You know, I have a thing for kids after all."
Wendy blushed madly at that, especially as Leone pressed the poor girl's face in between her cleavage. Some of the other students sweatdropped while others felt pity.
"All right! I will go next then." Astolfo was the next to go. "I an Astolfo and I used to be a Paladin serving under the King of Francs. There aren't that many interesting things I could say beside let us get along well. Since everyone here seems like good people, I am sure there should be no problem."
The red-head teacher applauded at that. "Thank you, Astolfo-san!"
As the Knight sat down, the one sitting beside him stood up. "I am Shiota Nagisa, a common student. One year ago, a creature calling himself an alien has started being our teacher and changed our lives. I owe everything to him and wish to fight for my own justice."
As the boy sat down, the girl behind him stood up loudly. "Gotta admit it's not everyday that I get to see the sun!" She laughed loudly, everyone turning to her. "I am Banba Shin'ya and my only raison d'être is to protect my alternate self Mahiru from harm. Also, I am an assassin but I do not kill for fun or anything... just to pritect Mahiru, even if it means accepting the situation."
The room became quiet after that before the slime behind Shin'ya decided to take action. "E-eh... I am Rimuru Tempest, a slime. Recently, I have managed to build a nation for monsters with the help of goblins-"
The slime shivered though after saying that as a pair of bright red eyes fixed at him with rage. "That sound interesting." Goblin Slayer who sate at the other side of the room but in the same row commented. "I will need to find them."
Rimure sweatdropped. "A-anyway, I hope we could get along well!"
With the slime's turn over, the armor-clad man stood up. "You can call me Goblin Slayer because I slay goblins. These disgusting things are no idiot but not genius either. They can reproduce very fast and can be an annoyance as they see in the dark and can adapt easily. Also-"
"I guess that's enough info about goblin." Kushina cut him. "How about you tell us something about you insteat."
The man paused before giving a quick answer. "I have no interest in anything except slaying goblin. That's all!"
Everyone else felt awkward at that. It was now Kazuto's turn to say something and he hoped he would be able to brush the awkwardness away. "I an Kirito, a college student. Recently, my friends and I were trapped in a video game and went through hell. I do not want to lose anyone dear to me so I hope we could defeat the evil guys and bring back peace on the Anime Miltiverse."
The presentation went well,even earlier a nice ovation. Thanks to that, some of the students felt more comfortable. At least, some...but certainly not a certain meek costume designer. "Do I really have to do this...?" Miyako reluctantly stood up. "H-Hoshino Miyako."
"Sorry, could you speak a little louder?" Goku asked politely.
"H-Hoshino Miyako... college student... that's all..." And with that, she sat back down.
The others were unsure, especially Izetta who sat beside her. She reluctantly stood up. "M-my name is Izetta and I am a witch at the service of the Princess Otfiné von Frederick from the kingdom of Eilsdadt. For the Princess' sake, I took arms and fought for what was precious to her. Even now, I want to do my best to protect the peace the Princess Finé has managed to build. P-please let's get along well!" She gave a bow, her eyes shut.
"Oh my. That so gay!" Shin'ya yelled and the witch went beet red, sitting back down.
"G-gay...?" Myrrh wonder. "What does that mean?" She turned to the Miko.
"You are too young for that." Chikane just responded, hiding her blushing face.
"Why...?" The Manakete then turned to the young Britania who also seemed flustered.
"Let us stop about that talk for now. You are too young to understand."
Myrrh puffed her cheeks childishly. "Compared to most humans, I am ten times older so why does everyone keep treating me like a kid?"
Nagisa just chuckled awkwardly until Levi decided to go next. He didn't even mind standing up, arms folded. "I am Levi. Just Levi. I am from a world where filthy giants are eating humans and the bastards at the hierarchy keeps doing shit. Seeing that there are other brats outside of the walls is something I didn't expect to be honest."
"I guess that's all." Goku clapped his hands. "Let us get along well and start training tomorrow! For now, you will be assigned to the dorms, the other building facing this one." He pointed to the window and there really was a fancy building there. "The dorm assignment would be a room for a person but we won't stop you from sharing a room or something."
At that, Leone got a whicked idea. "Hey, Wendy and Myrrh. How about we three share a room? I promise I will not to anything immoral during your sleep."
"Just you saying that is making it sound suspicious." Lelouche sighed before standing up and left the classroom. Soon enough, everyone followed, either tired and wanting to take a rest at the dorm or hanging around and inspect what they could.
"What am I going to do now...?" One introvert girl started to cry. "Hinata! Hana-chan! Noa-chan!"
"Are you okay?" A hand on her shoulder brought the girl back on her mind and watched Chikane trying to comfort her. "It might not be of a huge help but please accept this handkerchief."
Miyako sobbed and accepted the offer. "Thank you..."
Chikane just smiled. "Pay no mind to it. I just want to help as much as I could... all for that one person's sake." She then looked up at the high ceiling, her mind wandering. "Himeko... no matter what, I will protect the world you cherish so much."
Chapter 2: Awakening
Chapter Text
Resting her arms on the window, Myrrh was deep in her thoughts. She was now in the dorm room she did share with the blonde rogue and the so-called Sky Maiden. She didn't know how come the dracogirl felt safe with them. Maybe it was the aura surrounding these two. Leone sure had a dark past but she was not a bad person.
"Or I suppose." The bluenette looked from over her shoulder to see Leone taking a nap on one of the three beds while Wendy was busying herself with a book. Thinking about it, of her centuries of life, she only felt alive for the few decades she could consider herself like Ephraim's and Eirika's sister at castle Rennais. Such time didn't last long though.
The Manakete sighed, turning her gaze back outside. The sky was a mix of dark blue and gray, the sun almost rising. The surrounding was composed of two large buildings facing each others and a large field in the middle. The whole area was surrounded by high imposing walls so it was difficult to see what was outside.
'If what these people has said was true, we might face another bloody war. I do not want to lose anyone dear again.' She held tight onto a golden-colored stone and closed her eyes. 'Ephraim, just watch me! I am going to fight for what I believe in.'
[-x-x-x-]
With the morning sun greeting the few resident of the school, some of them were left unbothered by the change of air as they just did their usual morning routine. Goblin Slayer was restless, having his armor already on and patrolled through the school ground, checking every single corner until reaching a large open area.
"Good morning!" Kushina greeted the man as she saw him. She was just taking a walk around until the start of class. "Breakfast will be served soon. The cafeteria is at the first floor of the dormitory. You can't miss it."
Goblin Slayer just nodded before stepping near a puddle of water and kneeled down, looking under a handful of grass for possible footmarks.
The redhead Kunoichi approached him, a smile on her face. "We should be safe here. You don't have to worry."
"We should never lower our guard. These things move around at night and in large group, always sending scouts in advance. I need to prepare."
Kushina was unsure how to respond. From the personal file from the chairman, she learned about the man's painful past. A trauma was hard to heal and she knew that. Letting go of a sigh, she stood beside the armor-clad man. "In that case, may I help you? The two of us should be able to cover more ground by working together."
Goblin Slayer was silent for a couple of second before giving a simple answer. "You have my thanks."
The Ninja just chuckled a little as she assisted the hunter checking the nearby.
As these two did that, a boy was watching from afar, near a hangar-like building. Lelouche didn't get any sleep the night prior, trying to look around. The most suspicious think he noticed were the large walls and no gate or whatever. Following that, everything seemed too real so it was not the effect of a geass.
'Maybe I should question the chairman later.' He thought, placing a finger on his chin.
"-ning!"
'This situation should be hard to accept yet I feel a strong force trying to calm me down here.' He placed a hand on his chest as if feeling something warm trying to reassure the boy.
"Good morning!"
Lelouche was surprised by a presence beside him and noticed an elf boy standing there. He was fast to recover though. "Do we have business?"
"It's me, Kirito." The other boy said politely. "As Goku-san has said, we all came from different worlds so I suppose you are from a parallel world. I didn't get the occasion to introduce mysel personally yet."
"Glad to make your acquaintance!" The Geass owner greeted back. His eyes were still in mode Geass and he was unable to hide them nor use their power. After the end of class, he has attempted ordering someone around but it didn't affect anyone oddly. "I am Lelouche Lamperouge."
"I heard your story. Must have been though."
The Britania boy remained silent for a moment before turning toward the field. "I did what I could. I regret nothing."
Kirito looked down. "If you ever need a ear, feel free to approach me. Since we are all trapped in this world, I think we all need to work together." With that, he walked away, leaving Lelouche on his own, looking at the rising sun at the horizon.
[-x-x-x-]
As breakfast time came, everyone were asked to gather at the cafeteria. The ones who were previously outside stepped in and noticed how large the room was, yet there was only one very long table. The all took seat and the teachers arrived.
"Good morning, everyone!" The chairman greeted happily as he took seat at the cornor. "I don't know of you all but I am starved after some great training."
Amai Mask and Jin took place in front of him while Kushina sat beside him. Beside the female teacher, Wendy raised a hand. Unlike the previous day, she was now clad in a white buttoned shirt and black skirt. These clothes were in the closets of their dorm room with notes saying these were their new uniform.
"What is it, Miss Marvel?" Jin asked, turning to the girl.
"I had a very weird and long dream last night, as if some kind of premonition. Does that anything to do with having been sent in this world?"
Shin'ya chuckled at that. "So you too, Missy? Gotta admit I was creeped out by that. Well, I never dream anyone so the surprise was tripled."
The demon teacher noted as he gave a glance at everyone else. It seems as they all had long dreams, even Lelouche who was awake all night seemed to have somehow manage to daydream about few things. "Do you all remember your dream?"
Wendy nodded and so did Kirito and Chikane. The one to explain was Amai Mask. "It's as you thought; these are both premonition and a way to explain the current situation. You might have noticed something deep in your chest calming you down since arriving here. These are techniques that allows us to transfer our knowledge and good intention while saving time. Our time is not unlimited so we need to explain you all you are all needed so we could save our worlds."
"Still, it smells fishy." Levi commented, taking a sip from his cup of tea. The boy didn't have his equipment on and was insteat clad in a white buttoned shirt and dark pants. "I remember everything in the dream, explaining your reasons of fighting but not the reason why choosing us here present."
"I understand your concern." The Kunoichi answered with a nod. "We will come to the reasons little by little. Explaining everything at once will not be good. Worry not, we will make sure to teach you everything possible while giving all reasons, little by little."
Rimuru thought about that. Unlike everyone, they didn't have an humaid form, at least for now so they sat on the table like a slime. 'Great Sage, can you hear me?'
"..."
No response came, making the slime worried. 'It looks like I lost contact with the Great Sage. Since moving here, it seems as if using my power became difficult. I cannot transform into my humanoid form, cannot get in contact with Veldora and there is this weird feeling that keeps me calm in a weird way. I guess it wouldn't hurt to listen for now and follow the flow.'
"Also," Goku spoke again as food appeared like magic on the table, a feast to be more accurate, "some of you might have noticed your power became unstable or unusable. It is the drawback of being teleported into another world. Worry not, you shall be able to use them again normally soon. We will train you into mastering new skills in addition." With the explanation over, he grabbed a large bowl of Mikudon and dug in.
The students were surprised at the insane quantity of meal from luxurious to plain. They hesitated a little but then helped themselves, deciding to believe in what Goku has said.
'So, does that explain how I am unable to sense the emotion flow in these people?' Nagisa wondered as he grabbed a bowl of rice and dug in. 'The situation is weird but the chairman has similarities with Korosensei. I am not sure but he is reassuring. I guess I will believe for now.'
'So, I was right about the Geass.' Lelouche went with a cup of coffee and some pancakes. He was also clad in the white shirt and black pants.
"But I don't have any special power so what am I doing here?" Miyako was still clad in her tracksuit as she took a cup of milk.
"I understand your concern, Hoshino-chan." Kushina smiled at the girl sitting at the other corner of the table. "Worry not though. Everyone here present are nice people you can believe in. Unlike what you think, you have insane potential in yourself." She comforted the girl before remembering something. "Talking about which, I will be taking the first period and teach you all about your hidden abilities."
'I didn't feel any Ley Lines since coming here.' Izetta thought after hearing their teacher's explanation. She was also wearing the same uniform as Wendy.
Chikane noticed that the girl sitting beside her kept fidgeting instead of choosing something from the table. "Are you feeling unwell?" Like the other girls, the Miko was also wearing the new uniform.
The redhead witch was taken aback by the councern and waved her arms around. "I-it's just I am not really used to meals like these... I don't know what to choose."
"In that case," the ravenette grabbed a bowl of ramen and offered it to Izetta, "may I suggest something light?"
"T-thank you, Himemiya-san!" The shorter girl accepted the offer and gave a bow.
"No need to be so formal. Just call me Chikane." The Miko gave a smile, making the younger girl to slightly blush. 'She has an aura similar to Himeko. However, there is something different about her. If I remember well, she said being a witch fighting for her princess.' Chikane opted for a plate of omelets and dug in calmly, having been raised in a well-manered family. 'A witch, huh? This kind of remind me of that one novel about a Miko and a Witch. Though we both seem to have interest in girls, I am not sure if we could become friends.'
Leone, who was sitting between Myrrh and Wendy chuckled. She was also among the rare people who didn't wear the uniform. "Man! That was a hell of a dream. To think so many information would be sent to my mind at once. Never in my wildest fantasies would I have thought of that."
"You said it!" Shin'ya who was sitting across from her grinned. The assassin was wearing the uniform but with unmatched socks, the one being white and barely reaching her ankle while the other was black and reaching mod-thigh. "But since I'm here, where did Mahiru go?"
"We'll talk about that at a later day." Amai Mask replied dryly as he finished his plate and stood up. "It's almost time for homeroom. Get ready fast and meet up at the classroom!"
The others were silent a moment with Kushina sweatdropping. "Yes, sir!"
[-x-x-x-]
Inside the amphitheatre, everyone regained their seat from the day prior. The redhead teacher stood in front of the board. "All right, everyone! As promised, I will tell you all about your hidden abilities. We will start by Hoshino-chan."
"M-me?" Miyako pointed to herself hesitantly as the teacher motioned her to step forward. After a good minute of mental debate, the NEET finally stood up with a defeated sigh.
Kushina had a good look at her fidgeting student before giving a bright smile. "You are definitely a Magical Girl."
"Excuse me?" The brunette stuttered, entering panic mode.
"What's a Magical Girl?" The dracogirl wondered.
"A Magical Girl is a young girl with all kind of super power that helps them defeat bad guys." The teacher explained. "Hoshino-chan has a flame shining inside her. I am sure we could awaken her power right now."
"N-no... T-that's impossible..."
"No need to be shy." The redhead snapped her fingers and they were teleported in some kind of arena where the teacher and Miyako were on the battle area, everyone else on the tribune.
"What is going on?" Nagisa wondered, feeling confused.
A dark and red aura escaped Kushina who grew a tail. "The best way to awaken your potential is by feeling pain."
"Wait..."
Unfortunately, the Jinchuriki didn't feel like waiting as she charged forward and delivered a punch that could be able to kill a normal human being, sending the poor girl to the other side of the arena, creating a cloud of dust.
"The hell?" Leone looked in horror. She was not the only one as Wendy's mouth went agape while Izetta stood up, concerned.
As the dust cleared, revealing Miyako, everyone's horrified expression only became more intense. The girl was covered in her own blood, barely alive, yet still conscious. Kushina just resumed her charge and delivered another suit of combo.
"The hell is going on?" The rogue stood up and was about to enter in scene if it wasn't for Amai Mask who stepped in, stopping her. "Get the hell outa my way!"
"You shall not interfere. This is Hoshino-san's way of learning. She will need to awaken first and we left everything to Miss Uzumaki."
"Like hell!" Leone tried to force her way anyway and with the speed of light god knocked back, everything behind her destroyed as she fell back on her knees. "What was that?" She looked in disbelief. 'What was that inhuman power. Even if I had Lionel, I fear I might be no match to him.'
"As I said, nobody shall interfere." The bluenette insisted, emitting a darker aura.
"Screw the rules!" Shin'ya stepped in and jumped from side to side at a fast speed before landing behind the man. "You're dead meat!" Before she could do anything, a flash stopped her and the next second, she was lying on the ground, still conscious but unable to move. "Damn!"
As Amai Mask managed to stop two students from going berzerk, another one was approaching him quietly. 'Even without the ability to sense the flows, I will do it.' Nagisa clapped his hands in front of the man's face before delivering a punch easily caught. 'He resisted my technique.'
The young boy was sent back five feet until Astolfo caught him. "Are you okay?"
"Yeah." Nagisa nodded. "But I fear I might not be able to do anything."
Rimuru knew they couldn't do anything but tried anyway. 'If using strength is useless, I will try to negociate.' They stepped forward. "Please stop this madness. No matter the reason, justifying such massacre is inhuman."
"If the only way to save the Multiverse is to give up on feelings, we shall not hesitate. Only these ready to sacrifice great things shall be able to change the world." The teacher explained.
Levi gritted his teeth. "I can't believe this piece of crap is using the same words as what that foolish Major also said." It only pissed him more but he decided against taking an action right away.
"If your friend is able to awaken, she will survive. Otherwise, she will die. It is the world as we all know; the strong survive and the weak perish."
Goblin Slayer formed a fist with his right hand, knowing full well how true these words were. No one else was able to say otherwise. They all turned to the massacre to see Miyako on the ground, at the door of death.
"Come on, Hoshino-chan!" Kushina who has already awakened four tails spoke. "Don't you want to life? Fight back!"
'I...can't...' The girl cried mentally. Inside her soul, she was curling by herself in a dark space. 'I possibly can't do such thing as saving a world. I just wanted a normal life so why is this happening to me? Am I just going to die here?'
"Mya-Nee!" A voice called from afar.
Miyako slowly opened her eyes. "Hinata...?"
"Mya-Nee!" A petite girl with brown hair and clad in a white dress appeared before here. "Come on, Mya-Nee! Mya-Nee is strong. I believe in Mya-Nee!"
"But I am not..." The older girl returned back into curling herself. "I am not as string as you think and nothing near awesome."
"That's not true." Another voice came as a petite girl with long raven hair and angel wings appeared beside Hinata. "You might be a pervert and weirdo but you're an unique and awesome person."
"Hana-chan...?" The brunette opened her eyes back.
"Mya-san, it is too soon to give up." One last girl appeared. This one had blonde hair attached in a ponytail and was clad in a similar white dress. "You still have years to live and so many dresses to sew. Don't you want to make a dress for Hana again? I say you try fighting. Fight for what you believe in!"
"Noa-chan..."
"Mya-Nee!"
"Onee-san!"
"Mya-san!"
Back to the reality, as Kushina charged again, she stopped midway, seeing that the girl managed to stand up with lot of effort, whipping the blood off her face. 'Hinata... Noa-chan... Hana-chan... Kanon-chan... Koyori-chan... Matsumoto-san... Yuu-chan... Please lend me your strength.' A bright light engulfed her.
"What is that light?" Astolfo asked, surprised. Everyone else were as astonished as the knight.
"So, she's awakened." Goku, who was overlooking from a certain distance smiled.
Kushina also smiled as she saw her student transform into a frilly white dress with angel wings on her back, a halo atop her head, white stockings and white shoes as well as a staff whose tip had a get shaped in a heart. "Henshin mode: Magical White Lily!" Her wounds healed instantly as she pointed the rod at her opponent and shoot a beam. The impact created a barrage of dust.
As it cleared, the redhead was intact and everyone went worried. "That technique didn't even scratch her. This is insane."
As Miyako was preparing for a counter, she was taken aback as Kushina clapped her hands several times though and her tails disappeared. They all then returned back to the classroom. "Congratulations, Hoshino-chan! You have officially awakened. Starting now, you are officially a student of Isekai School for Hope."
The young brunette was astonished but then fell back as her transformation spell vanished so did her strength. She was brought back to the dark space where she met the girls from her world.
"You did it, Mya-Nee!"
"Hinata..."
"Congratulations, Onee-san!"
"Hana-chan..."
"I admit I was scared you might fail but I'm glad it turned out well."
"Noa-chan..."
Another older girl with dark brubette hair smiled. "From now on, we will be counting on you, Miyako! I am sure these new friends of your will be able to help you. Until the time we meet again, I do really hope both of us can do her best. I promise I will also train hard so please give it you all!"
"Matsumoto-san..." Miyako shook her head as to correct herself. "Kouko-chan, I will!"
[-x-x-x-]
Miyako slowly opened her eyes to be met up with high ceilings. She was laid in a comfortable bed in a large room she assumed was the nursery.
"So, you're finally awake." Chikane was the first to greet her.
"You suddenly passed out and remained asleep for hours." Wendy said with full councern. "I was so worried." She whipped a tear from her eyes."
"You really got us worried out there." Kirito added with a smile.
"Anyone, we are all very glad you managed to awaken successfully." Astolfo jumped around happily.
"Everyone..." The brunette looked in disbelief at the people who were worried about here. Her classmates were all in the room, some having grabbed chairs while Goblin Slayer and Levi were standing at the corner, back against the wall.
Overwatching the scene from the dormitory's rooftop, the four teachers smiled. "Facing a great dangef always help discovering ourselves." Jin commented with a stoic face.
"I feel like a bad person. I just believe they will not start acting cold against me." Kushina worried.
"You did what you were supposed to do." Amai Mask just commented dryly.
"Facing a great danger together and realizing almost losing someone creates new bounds." The chairman smiled. "I am sure this is the first step for a successful communal life between our dear students."
"Yes, sir!" The other three nodded in agreement.
Chapter Text
'She was like a sun to me...'
Chikane walked the school ground. Class was once again over. Already three days has passed since her classmate has managed to awaken her new power. Their lives were now back and forth from normal school lives to training and lessons about new fighting techniques.
'People admired me but none of these mattered...'
The ravenette had some problem with classes as some of her classmates were already initiated with advanced fighting techniques. Since defeating the Orochi, the Miko lost a good part of her abilities and was still discovering once again.
'All I wanted was for her to keep praising me. Nothing else mattered...'
"Chikane-san...?"
Said girl looked from over her shoulder to see a brunette girl wearing the same uniform as her. Since the special lesson by Kushina, Miyako has gained a little confidence. She still kept one eye covered by her bangs but was progressing little by little. "Hoshino-san?"
"A-are you going to the library?" She asked, pointing to the couple of books currently held by the taller girl.
Chikane nodded and continued to walk, motioning the older girl to follow her. Miyako did and walked behind the lady. The two of them walked in complete silence until the Miko spoke again. "You did gain more confidence lately."
"T-that's..." The brunette stuttered. "I did promise a friend that I will do my best... That's all..."
"Is that so?" Chikane slightly looked down. "A promise, huh?" She remembered the promise she made with the Moon Priestess. "Must be nice doing your best for an important person's sake."
"Huh?" asked the Magical Girl, not hearing what the younger girl has said. "Did you say something?"
"No. I was just thinking about a book I want to look for." The idol lied, forcing a smile.
[-x-x-x-]
'How did things turn out this way?' Rimuru screamed mentally. They were currently at the cafeteria, alone with no one but Goblin Slayer. They felt as if the man was glaring at them with a menacing aura. 'Is it my imagination or he seems threatening?'
The two of them remained in an awkward silence until the armor-clad man broke the silence. "Say... about the goblins."
The slime literally sweatdropped. Just in case, they has asked the teacher about the warrior and Jin explained how Goblin Slayer has created an insane hatred about a certain race of monater. Rimuru did assume not all goblins were good and did believe what happened to the poor man was way too cruel. "W-well... Sir Slayer... T-the truth is it is not as you might believe it..."
"Pray explaining."
"W-well..." The blue creature was at loss of words. It would be hard explaining. "Do you believe in good mobsters? I supposed tons of monster races are evil but I assume you some of them did share a painful past and wish to build a better world."
There was a moment of silence before the warrior spoke again. "Please tell me more." The tone he was using was rather ambiguous so it was hard for Rimuru to know how to process. "It has been a couple of day that we were trapped here and I learned lot of things. There could be cases someone is mistaken for another race that isn't actually yours."
"W-well... if you say so..." Rimuru then explained the man about the goblins they met and helped build a village after being chased around mercilessly. The slime then told everything about how they met with the ogres and made one of then their secretary as well as later the lizardmen and orcs, then dryads, dwarves and spirits.
"I see..." As the slime's story was over, Goblin Slayer took a moment to process. "It is indeed possible that some logic might take part in other words. It would be a mistake to call your friends mere Goblins. I am sure a misunderstanding took place. I think they are indeed an unknown race of creature who are yet to be understood."
Rimuru sweatdropped. "I-if you say so..."
The man then stood up from the chair. "That was a nice talk. It helped me clear my mind about what to do. If we have to face Goblins, I will not hesitate cutting them down so long they are treats for anyone."
"Y-yeah... The pleasure is also mine... I guess..." The bluenette creature sighed as the armor-clad man left the room. 'I am so glad he understood.'
[-x-x-x-]
If there was something Kazuto knew, he didn't like being a coward. While the others has acted to at least try to save Hoshino, he was unable to move due to the aura their teacher waa giving. It was several days since they were in this world and some force was forcing lot of new laws.
First, that force holding their feelings, amplifying their wish to protect the world while calming them whenever they were about to panic. It was odd.
Second, the balance was totally off. Their strength should be varying a lot but they all seemed equal in this world. After doing some research, the elf boy was able to hack into the terminal and found barely anything. What he found were only proofs that their teachers were telling the truth.
"Hey, ain't that Kirito?"
The boy turned to see a girl with long silver hair walking in his direction. They were currently at the library and he was so busy on his thought he didn't see Shin'ya. "Greetings, Banba-san!"
"'sup!" Despite having a female appearance, the assassin identified themself as male, claiming this is not his real body. Everyone seemed a little confused but accepted to go with the flow. "Studying?"
"Not really?" The elf closed the book in front of him. "I was thinking..."
"Yup!" Shin'ya took the seat across the boy and sighed. "Though, gotta say that creep is way too strong." There was no need to be a genius to understand he was referring to Amai Mask. "I say there's something fishy or shit behind this. You seem smart enough so I have a proposition."
Kazuto raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean?"
Shin'ya leaned forward to make sure no one was around and spoke with a low voice. "We are all unaware of each other's strength and power. They insist we work together and I need to know what the others can do."
True he had a point. From the ravenette's experience, knowing about the enemies is good but knowing your allies can lead to better victories. "You do have a point. Maybe the two of us could work together and try to get to know the other's strength."
"You got it." Being an assassin, it was primordial to know their surrounding. While not really ready to trust each others, the duo agreed to try to help each others without revealing too much. In other words, they built a temporary alliance.
[-x-x-x-]
Spying was neither boy's talent as Shin'ya was used to aggressive play while Kazuto was someone mix of Str and Agi stat. Sneak was neither of their forte but they tried hard. Getting to know more about Astolfo was rather easy as the crossdresser found them right away.
"Heya, Kirito-kun and Shin'ya-chan~" He waved at them. Since it was not school hour, the knight was wearing a simple shirt and a skirt. Odd, the others thought for a boy, especially a knight but neither commented. "Are you perhaps trying to befriend everyone?"
"You could say that..."
"Then, I will gladly beacome your friend. The best way would be to do a sparing match!"
Kazuto considered and thought it would be great. However, taking the challenge might show his abilities to the others and it won't be good. "I was thinking we could gather as many people as possible and do a little tournament."
"Really? That sound very fun~" The rider had stars in his eyes. "In that case, I should go look Lulu and Nagisa-chan."
"Wait. You already made friends?"
"Lulu and Nagisa-chan are shy so they haven't confirmed yet but I am sure they're good boys. Also, they would look good in a dress~"
A picture of the two boys wearing female clothes crossed Shin'ya's mind and the assassin broke in laughed. "Dammit that sound really funny."
And with that, they separated to find the others. In the end, the only people they are gathered around were Nagisa, Lelouche, Leone, Wendy, Myrrh, Rimuru and Izetta.
Said witch raised a hand. "Excuse me but what are we doing here?" She has been dragged into the training field by Astolfo and was unable to resist.
Said field was oddly covered by grasses while the sky was gray,barely letting the ray of sun in. As Kazuto explained the fake situation of wanting to befriend everyone, the naive people like Wendy fell in and accepted. Leone was a little hesitant though but decided it might be a good occasion to test her new powers while learning about the others.
As they were about to start the event though, Jin appeared and eyed at the students. Said youth got on their guard but no one took the initiative. Eventually, the demon smiled. "I see. So, the best way to grow stronger is by sparing. I applause your determination. I shall be the judge of this small event as to make sure everything is fair."
Nagisa was a little hesitant but he lowered his guard. "So, what about the rules of this event?" He was well-trained by Korosensei and Karasuma and with Kushina's advices, the boy might have chances.
Shin'ya stepped forward with a boy. "Inside this are papers with number from 1 to 9 and a king. The King must randomly pick a number before anyone reveal the result and that person must face th king. The loser will be excluded on the new game as well as a number from the box. We'll continue like that until only one person remains."
The others were still unsure but still agreed. And with that started the first lottery.
[-x-x-x-]
If the tale of dragon and witch was nothing new, Leone couldn't helo but to awe at the match. The spectators has taken cover on the side while the field became a ring of insane fighting.
Up in the sky, Izetta was riding an anti-tank riffle while a dozen of swords flew besidw her. The Sky Maiden remembered a friend who was also able to control swords like these.
On the ground stood a large dragon with thigh scales and breaking fire, trying to hit the agile witch. Everyone was surprise by Myrrh's transformation. The petite was indeed unusual with her wings but turning into a dragon after holding an orange stone was breathtaking.
Back to the battlefield, the witch got some altitude and sent the swords at the dragon. The only hit the scales before being destroyed and another breath went her way. Izetta gained more altitude. She was unsure about how to fight as she didn't want to wound her opponent. After all, a spare match was not war. During war, she had to kill but here, she was unsure.
"You can attack without problem, you know." Jin's voice echoed in Izetta's head. "I did say I will make sure no one gets hurt so fight with your full strength without any restraint."
"But..."
"No buts! Don't you want to be stroner so you could protect your princess."
"Finé...?" The redhead hesitated a bit before nodding to herself. "It will be all right." She turned the riffle in target of the dragon and fired three rounds. The accuracy was insane as all of them hit.
Myrrh did feel it pass despite her insane defense. What followed did not look good though as Izetta summoned a dozen of torpedoes and sending them the dracogirl's direction. The dragon moved around and flew to escaped but the projectiles followed her restlessly. Eventually, the torpedoes hit one after another.
However, the dragon was still standing. Myrrh realized her abilities has increased and decided to fly higher until being almost the same altitude as the witch. She then unleashed a bowerful breath but Izetta avoided by descending. She was met by a hit of claws that sent her almost crashing against a building. The attack did leave an impact as the girl breathed heavily, blood running from her forehead. "What strength!"
Giving up was not an option though and the witch regained altitude, joining her hands and forming a ball of energy. Myrrh won't let her do so though as the dracogirl charged at her. The ball exploded and both of them got caught in the explosion. While the shorter girl regained her humanoid form and regained her balance, she kept flying. On the other hand, Izetta has lost consciousnesa and was falling toward the ground.
"Izetta..."
"Izetta..."
The witch opened her eyes and realized she was in a dark area with a tunel made of light at the other side. "What is this place."
"Izetta." She turned around to see the princess Otfiné. Said girl had bright blonde hair and innocent blue eyes. "You already did so much for me and there you are again fighting."
The redhead shook her head. "That's not true. I decided to fight on my own. I promised I will protect the world you dreamt of, Princess."
Finé gave a pained smile. "I an glad to hear that but I am also a little sad."
"Princess..." Izetta took her friend in her arms. "Thank you for always worrying about me. It has helped me a lot in the past. I now know what I must do."
"Izetta..."
"Princess, you must promise me that you will always remain true to yourself."
The blonde smile. "Yes!"
As Izetta left the place, the regained consciousness and felt a hand on hers. She managed to fly back before crashing and stood atop the riffle. Her eyes started to glow as she pointed a finger at her opponent. A thousand of normal bullets went the dracogirl's direction at sound's speed and with insane accuracy.
As the shower ended, Myrrh fell on the ground, wounded but conscious. She was instantly healed of her wounds and Jin smile. Leane ran to her. "Myrrh, are you all right?"
"Yes." The girl nodded. "It looks like I lost." She looked up at the sky to see a spected embrace the witch from behind. "I see... So the witch has gained the Princess' love, huh?"
"What?"
Myrrh just shook her head. "Nothing. I just realized that not all Princes are knights in shining armor."
"I see..." The rogue chuckled as she turned to the witch. Izetta has landed and was greeted by the others. She smiled.
[-x-x-x-]
The second match had Rimuru face Nagisa. It was not as epic as the one before but surprise was present. The bluenette had so little presence, he became invisible at times and even erased his own presence. Against that, the slime was struggling, especially since they could turn into humanoid form or call for the Great Sage.
Nagisa appeared from behind, his eyes dull but full of intend to kill. Rimuru flinched and backed away, throwing sticky webs but the assassin avoided by masking his presence. The smile attempted again by throwing a blade of water but it Missed.
The bluenette appeared once again behind his opponent and delivered a nice hit on the small creature. "Ow~"
Taking Rimuru in his arms, the boy smiled. "Caught you." The smile was innocent it would be easy to forget about his dark side. It did mark his victory indeed.
After another couple of matches, Wendy ended up as the winner after Kazuto and Lelouche lost... more like they did hold down a lot as to avoid showing the extension of their strength. In the end, everyone were tired and decided to go back to their dorm room.
During dinning time, everyone gathered again at the cafeteria to discuss. "I was really surprised. You're really strong, Wendy!"
Said girl just chuckled. "Everyone were also amazing. I guess I was just a little lucky." Having experienced all kind of battles, she hasn't been pushed as far as to use Dragon Force for years. Her classmates all had incredible power and she still couldn't believe she made it. The conclusion was that the others held back.
At the other side of the room, Kazuto and Shin'ya were drinking tea. "This is a hella insane." The assassin concluded.
"From what we saw, everyone has incredible power and they still have insane abilities unraveled." The elf sighed.
He could conclude few things; each world had their principles of power but as they are sent into this one, new powers are born while their original magic are amplified.
Lelouche, who took notice of their plan, approached the duo. He was still clad in the new uniform for male but his eyes were still red with the symbol of birds on them. "May I have a word with you two?"
"Sure." The other ravenette nodded and stood up. Shin'ya took more time but the three has managed to get out of the building and were greeted by the cold night wind. "Is there any problem, Lamperouge-san?"
"I wanted to ask if you set the event earlier to judge everyone's strength." The younger boy exclaimed. "You two seemed to hold back a lot as if you are trying to hide something."
They remained in silence for a while as Kazuto was mentally debating. After a good minute, he sighed. "I admit, yes." He then explained. "Since there are too much things we do not understand, we figured some investigation would be necessary."
"In that case," the Britania Prince placed a finger on his chin. "In the chairman's office is a book containing information about all of us. It even includes information about our original worlds. I have managed to take a look inside it once last night but didn't get enough time. I am sure if we work together, the result will be assured. I am not saying we fully trust each others. We just need to work as a team to achieve something."
"That goes for me." Shin'ya agreed.
"So, that was what you all were planning." Another voice interrupted them as Astolfo, Nagisa and Rimuru appeared from the shadow. "I figured something was fishy."
"But that sounds like a good plan." The slime commented. "Count me in!"
"We know nothing about the current situation so working together is the best choice of action." Nagisa still remembered how powerless he was against Amai Mask and wanted to do something.
"All right!" Lelouche reluctantly nodded. "We will work together in that case."
"But before that," the boy in skirt stopped them. "We will be doing a stealth mission so I have a proposition~"
"A proposition?" The others tilted their head.
[-x-x-x-]
"The heck is this?" Lelouche exclaimed, embarrassed as he realized Astolfo's plan was to have them all crossdress.
"I mean it would be fishy if a group of boys were to walk around. We'll be found right away so we need to disguise."
"But nearly everyone knows everyone here and I am pretty sure no one else lives here."
"You just worry too much, Lulu~" Astolfo pushed the boy behind a curtain and entered after. Not a minute later, the two of them walked out. "All done!"
While the knight hasn't changed at all, the Britania Prince was wearing a wig and light makeup to make his masculine traits totally disappeared. Same went with the clothes who were exchanged against the female version of white buttoned shirt and black skirt along with mid-thigh length stocking. "I want to go home..."
Nagisa felt pity but was soon dragged behind the curtains. Seconds later, he was out with his hair untied and the uniform having been changed. "Ew..."
"You haven't changed that much, Nagisa-chan." The rider dryly commented.
"I want to go home..."
Kazuto, feeling the thing, tried to sneak away but was caught midway and got changed. "Noooo!" Seconds later, he was wearing a long wig matching his real hair color as well as the regular female uniform.
Shin'ya laughed his guts off. "Shoot you all look like girls!" Well... he was biologically female and was wearing the female outfit so he was spared by the knight.
"Damn you, Shin'ya! Shut up!" The three now forced crossdressers yelled in unison, forgetting manners for a second to shut the annoying assassin.
"Now, last!" Astolfo was not done as he looked at Rimuru mercilessly.
"Wait! I am not even humanoid."
"I did read somewhere that slimes can copy the appearance of someone. worry not, I will do my very best."
"Wait!" The slime backed away. "Wait I said!"
By backing away, a voice echoed inside Rimuru's mind. "Activation of the program: Great Sage!"
"Wait what!" Everyone yelled in unison at the new voice.
"Wait what?" The slime was shocked as the others seemed able to hear the computer-like voice. "Great Sage, what is going on?"
"Due to lack of pure mana and distortion of logic, the software was forced down. The program was fully updated though." The voice of a woman echoed.
"The hell is that?" Shin'ya wondered aloud.
"W-well... let me explain." Rimuru knew it was going to be a pain to explain the situation but they tried their best, not revealing everything about their past life as Satoru though. And of course, the story about Veldora was not revealed.
"Ah I see!" Astolfo sighed. "So, you do have the ability to turn humanoid?"
"Notice: due to the update of software, transformation skill was erased. Predator skill is till on though."
Rimuru thought an instant. "Well... It looks like I won't be able to transform after all."
Kazuto did know a skill that could change appearance from Sword Art Online but he was unsure these would work here. In the end, he said nothing and Astolfo ended up giving up.
[-x-x-x-]
Later that night, the group of crossdressers managed to infiltrate the chairman's office while Goku was busu training outside. Finding the book took more time and with Lelouche's constant complaints about the skirt's length, it took them more time.
Fortunately, they managed to find it and opened said archive to see its containing. As of the ravenette has said, information about them all were present. Rimuru quickly absorbed the book and made several copies before they put the book back. Without spending too much time, the group quickly left back to their dorm.
Meanwhile, atop the dorm building, Levi was looking at that. Since the chairman's office had glass windows that allowed the people outside to see everything, he was aware what was going on. The soldier, while not unsure about what to do, wanted to do something and wanted to know lot of things. Learning things about their allies like enemies would be a plus after all.
Taking a sip from his cup of tea, the young man sighed. "What do you want?"
A shadow appeared behind him. It was oddly quiet and just approached the Soldier until reaching and enveloped him.
"What is this?" He quickly jumped over the balcony and onto the field. Oddly enough, we was not wounded and looking up, the shadow has disappeared. "What was that?"
Notes:
A/N: Since I followed SnK until chapter 115, there might be things I would add. Also, I am following the anime of Fairy Tail but I do not read the manga. And pretty much only watched the anime of the others, meaning I might not include too much from their mangaverse/gameverse.
Chapter 4: Surprise attack
Notes:
It has been years. I hope people will still like this
Chapter Text
A lone figure could be seen walking on the long corridor of the school dorm. Izetta was forced to stay behind after class as Kushina had something to talk with her. Before they realized it, it was already dark outside and the witch excuses herself after they were done talking.
The girl wasn't that afraid of the dark but memories of the war she took part in stil haunted her from time to time, especially when the lights are turned off. Talking about which, the hallways were very quiet and none of the lights were on. The girl decided to speed up her pace but then heard footsteps behind her.
As Izetta was about to turn around to see who was following her, a sword was sent flying in her direction. The girl quickly used her magic to summon an iron shield which protected her but the impact sent her flying backward. She quickly stood up though and scanned the darkness, summoning her boomstick in order to prepare for a possible skirmish.
The footsteps got closer and a black-haired man soon emerged from the darkness. He was clad in a sleeveless dark armor and held a pair of bastard swords, a grim smile on his face.
~ Soltier (Blaze Union) ~
"I am surprise you managed to block that." the man said as he stopped in his track.
Izetta gulped as she summoned several swords who levitated around her. Normally, the witch did not not have the power to summon things but has learned new techniques since she came to this world. One of them was the ability to summon all kind of weapons from an alternate dimension. "Who are you?"
The man just chuckled. "My name is Soltier." he got into a battle stance and sharged forward, faster than the eye could see. With a swing of his weapon, he tried to slash Izetta horizentally but the levitating swords blocked the attack. "Not bad." he chuckled before joining the swords and a purple magic circle appeared bellow the witch.
Izetta quickly sat on her riffle and had it fly in order to avoid the dark smoke coming from the newly formed circle. She then aimed the gun at the enemy and fired, only to miss as Soltier disappeared and appeared right behind the redhead. Izetta couldn't block the attack and was sent flying, her gun landing far away from where she was. As the girl tried to stand up, her face was kicked. "It hurts..."
Soltier chuckled as he grabbed Izetta by her hair and was about to slice her with it sword if it wasn't for the lights who went back on. The man sighed as Kazuto appeared behind him, swinging his sword. The man kicked Izetta once again and turned around to face the elf, blocking his sword. Their swords then met several times and it seemed as if Soltier had the upper hand.
"He's strong." the young boy though but thankfully was saved by an arrow shoot from one of his allies who forced their enemy to back away. He turned around to see Chikane holding a long bow. Said girl quickly shoot another arrow and said arrow exploded just in from of Soltier.
Kazuto took that opportunity to attack. He placed both hands on his sword and planted it on the floor, causing light pillars to appear bellow their enemy. Said man was hit by both attacks and was forced to back away even more. That was when Nagisa appeared behind him, a knife in his hand and tried to slash the mysterious man's neck. "Shit!" Soltier cursed as he didn't see this attack coming.
As the attack almost landed, the man suddenly dissapeared, leaving everyone confused. Chikane quickly ran toward the heavily wounded witch. "Izetta! Are you all right?"
Said girl slowly opened her eyes. "I am sorry I was powerless."
"It's okay now. We are all here."
Not long after that however, a chuckled could be heard and they looked up to see a young-looking girl clad in a revealing black dress. Said girl had very long black hair and a red headband. "How touching! This spectacle is so sweet."
~ Akemi Homura (Madoka Magica) ~
"Who are you?" Kazuto glared daggers at the newcomer. He then noticed that Soltier was behind her, also levitating above the group.
"I am Homucifer." she explained, the grin still on her face. "Let us stop here for today." A portal then appeared behind them and the two mysterious individuals disappeared in it."
"Wait!" The elf boy exclaimed as he threw his sword in their direction but was too late as the gate disappeared. "What was that." they didn't decide to question that for too long however and quickly took Izetta to the nursery.
As soon as they reached the nursery, the met up with a worried Wendy who quickly decided to heal the witch. "What happened?" she questioned, as the others let Izetta lay on one of the best. Levi was sitting on the bed beside it. Said soldier just narrowed his eyes.
"We were attacked by some mysterious people." Nagisa explained. "They called themself Soltier and Homucifer and did not give any explanation. What is going on?"
The scout heard that and decided to voice his opinion. "I was also attacked earlier." everyone turned to Levi who continued to explain. "and for some reason, we can't get in touch with the teachers."
The small group remained quiet after that. The first one to break the silence was Izetta who sat up after Wendy casted a healing spell on her. "Where is everyone else?"
The others looked at each others and understood right away that they were under attack. Staying alone in this situation would be dangerous so they quickly tried to guess where everyone else was.
"The best course of action would be to meet up with everyone and prepare a defensive strategy. Let us all stay together and protect each other's back." Kirito suggested and everyone nooded. They all got readied and ran out of the room in order to look for their comrades.
[-x-x-x-]
Several sword clashes echoed through the gymnasium. Goblin Slayer threw a dagger after jumping back. He was busy checking his equipment earlier and was ambushed by an enemy.
His opponent was a young-looking woman wish silver hair and clad in a red armor. She had sharp fangs, hinting that she was not human. "How boring. There is nothing interesting about this fight." The vampire commented as she swung her sword in order to deflect the dagger.
~ Shalltear Bloodfalen (Overlord) ~
Several portals appeared in front of the woman and an army of beastmen walked out of them. Goblin Slayer quickly backed away and threw an explosive ball in that direction, hitting some of them.
Like all his allies, the warrior has learned new techniques since enrolling this school. He decided to wield his sword once again and planted it on the ground, causing an eathquacked. Said technique made the beasts lose their balance and the hunter quickly equipped his bow in order to shoot at his enemies.
"Miserable insect!" Shalltear cursed as she gritted her teeth. She was about to open another portal but something hit her from behind. "What?"
Levi has managed to slash her back using his dual blades and thanks to the 3D equipment was able to maneuver without any problem around. The vampire woman wasn't able to do anything as the young man was as fast as lightning, slashing her armor little by little. At the same time, a strong gust of wind blew Shalltear away and Wendy rushed toward her, delivering a punch in the woman's stomach. "Take this!"
The vampire was sent flying as everyone else arrived and turned their weapon at her. "This is so annoying." she complained while grabbing her sword once again.
"That's enough." before Shalltear could cast her next step, a new unfamiliar voice stopped her. At the other side of the gymnasium still a young girl with blonde hair and clad in a military uniform. "Our job here is done."
~ Tania von Degurechaff (Youjo Senki) ~
"But-"
Tania glared daggers at her ally, making the vampire girl flinch. "Are you planning on ignoring the orders?!"
Shalltear mentally debated for a short while before a sigh escaped her lips. "Understood."
"I won't let you escape!" Levi quickly maneuvered around and went behing the vampire. As he was about to slash her though, he was hit by a bullet and had to back away before he lost his balance. Said bullet was shoot by the imperial soldier, a gun in her hand. "Tch!"
A portal appeared bellow the vampire and she made an escape before anyone else could do anything. Tania also disappeared inside another portal and everyone looked around for a couple of seconds before regrouping.
"Levi, are you okay?" Wendy asked with a concerned tone. Said young man was holding his stomach to avoid losing more blood. "Hang in there, I will heal you right away!" She placed a hand on his stomach and chanted a spell. The wound was then instantly healed.
Goblin Slayer appeared the group as he noticed all that. "Do you know these people?" by "these people", he meant their enemies from earlier.
"We have no clue." Kirito answered. "For now, let us regroup with everyone." the hunter just nodded and their group moved toward their next destination.
[-x-x-x-]
"Curse you asshole!" Shin'a cursed as he threw a large hand axe toward his enemy.
He, alongside Lelouch and Astolfo were ambushed by a group of enemies as they were on their way from the library. Hours prior, their small group along few other students have entered the principal's office in order to grab some files but they decided to split up after that.
The person hiding in the shadown chuckled as they avoided the axe. Lelouch took that oportunity to take a pistol out of his pocket and shoot at the enemy but it had no effect.
"You call that an attack?!" their enemy was a shirtless tall musclar man. He had a heaband on and his look was acompagned with military pants and a pair of millitary boosts.
~ The Beast (Advance Wars Days of Ruin) ~
"Let me show you how to do." He summoned a gattling gun and the three students quickly ran behind a shelf as the Beast started blasting everything in front of him. Astolfo quickly casted a barrier spell to protect them and the assassin summoned a bazooka to counter.
The rocket ammo exploded as soon as it was hit by the bullets though and the three teenagers were forced to back away once more. As the boys were back against the wall, Shin'a threw a smoke grenade at their opponent to lower their vision and Lelouch readied a machine gun.
The man behind the Beast sighed. He was clad in a long black robe with red clouds printed on it. "Reinforcements are coming. Let us end this quickly."
~ Uchiha Itachi (Naruto) ~
"What?! Can't hear ye with with the sound of mah gattling." the man commented but before he could get an answer, a T-34 tank was sent flying in their direction. Itachi quickly summoned a specter hand to stop it but another tank was sent flying from the other direction. "What the?" the Beast was surprised and stopped shooting, only to be punched in the stomach by Wendy who managed to close up the distance very fast.
Izetta who has controlled the tanks aimed her large gun at the enemies and fired several bullets while the Sky Maiden backed away. The three boys quickly noticed this and launched a counterattack of their own by shooting at the enemies.
The Beast was overwhelmed as as the shinobi was about to assist him, several arrows was show toward him. Itachi turned around to see Chikane and Goblin slayer both holding their bows. The man sighed. "Let's go now. We've already achieaved our goal." With that said, the ninja disappeared in a smoke.
As the other man was about to make an escape though, Nagisa quickly closed the distance between them and clapped his hands in front of the man's face. Said man instantly lost consciousness and Kirito took that opportunity to summon binding chains in order to capture the enemy.
"Everyone, are you okay?" Wendi asked as she ran toward the three boys, who, thankfully were unhurt.
"I have seen worse." Astolfo laughted it off as they joined up with everyone else and looked at the captured enemy. "What should we do with him."
"I will emprison him in another dimension for now." The elf swordman said as he summoned a portal, taking the Beast in. "For now, let us find everyone else."
[-x-x-x-]
"I really wish I could turn into my humanoid form." Rimuru complained as he bounced against the wall and threw sticky webs at the enemies.
At the other side of the battlefield, Miyako was transformed in her magical girl outfit and was panting heavily. She was surrounded by several enemies who tried to attack her one after another. "I won't be able to last any longer."
The first enemy to charge at her was a young man with white hair and wearing a judo uniform. He was very agile and his puch devastating. It took the magical girl lot of luck in order to survive the onslaugh.
~ Garou (One Punch Man) ~
"What's wrong? Already tired?" The martial artist teased as he saw Miyako back away and almost fell down. She quickly regained her composure and shoot another ray beam, which was easily dodged by the opponent.
The other enemy - a young woman with shord blonde hair and was wearing a military uniform - also decided to attack. She aimed her gun at the enemy and hit the magical girl several times. If it wasn't for her barrier, Miyako would have been dead already. "Just drop dead already, you heretic sinner!"
~ Mary Sue (Youjo Senki) ~
The last enemy who has surrounded Miyako was a young blonde elf boy wearing girl's clothes. "You should just give up. It will be less painful that way." he said with an innocent tone in his voice while gripping his wand, readying another spell.
~ Mare (Overlord) ~
"I can't-" as Miyako dodged another attack, she was met with another purch from Garou who sent her flying several feet away. This time around, she wasn't agile enough and fell on the ground.
Rimuru could only watch his comrade in horror as he was also busy with his own oppenent. "Great Sage, do you have any idea how to get away?"
"Answer!" the female voice exclaimed, "now calculating all possibilities..." there was a second of pause before she resumed, "the allies are on their way. Just hold down until there. A good solution would be to cast barrier spells."
His opponent heard that and casted another spell in order to attempt to bound the slime. This enemy was an individual clad in a black robe from head to toes and only his hands and mounth were visible. "How insolent! Thake this!"
~ Nesiah (Blaze Union) ~
As the fallen angel casted the spell, Rimuru quickly jumped back. "I really need a plan right now."
"Answer!" The great sage commented. "All data has been processed. The ability to transform is now restored."
The smile was very happy about that new as he stretched his slimmy body until it got a humanoid form. With a last push, he got his ambigous human form. The young individual looked at its hand for hanf a second before forming a fist and casting a tornado toward his opponent.
"This is quite interesting." Nesiah chuckled as he was blown away by the technique. Rimuru however, did not lose any second as he quickly went toward his comrade.
Fortunately, Leone and Myrrh has arrived earlier and the duo were already protecting the unconscious Miyako from the three enemies. The fighter was in a fistfight against the martial artist and held her pace against him. On the other hand, the young dragon girl was having trouble as Mary keeps dodging her spells and hitting her. Fortunately, with Rimuru's help, they were able to slowly gain the upper hand.
Not long after, their other comrades found them and ran toward them. Izetta launched missiles at the enemies while Chikane shoot enhanced arrows. Seeing that the reinforcements has arrived, Mare panicked. "There are here! What should we do?"
Sue had a huge smirk on her face. "No matter how many of them there are, I will kill them all!" she exclaimed while shooting at the newcomers. A huge robot quickly appeared in front of them though and shielded against the attack. "What is that?"
Lelouch smiled as he had a look at the knightmare he just summoned. Thanks to his new power, he was able to control the robot with his Geass without getting inside and so he did. The knightmare rushed as the enemies and engaged in a skirmish against Mary.
Nesiah then chuckled as he stood up after the tornado calmed down. "Looks like it's time to go."
Mary and Garou ignored however and continued to fight. Levi took the opportunity to maneuver around and went behind the fallen angel, cutting his head. Mare panicked as he saw that and quickly casted a spell. A portal appeared bellow him and his companions.
"What are you doing, Mare?!" the stubborn duo complained but couldn't do anything. The enemies all soon disappeared. At the same time, Nesiah's body liquified and disappeared as well.
"Tch!" Levi scoffed s he cleaned the blood off his blades.
Everyone else regroupped and Wendy casted a spell to heal Miyako. On the other side of the field, Astlfo was having a good look at Rimuru's new appearance. "You're pretty cute." said slime just waved an awkward smile.
With everyone now gathered, Kirito stepped forward. "Everyone, do you have any idea what is going on?"
"Nope." Leone shrugged. "These lunatics just attacked us out of nowhere. I have no idea what is going on."
Everyone else looked at each others with puzzled look before turning toward Kirito. Said boy nodded. "For now, let's go inside the building. We are too exposed here." he proposed and everyone else agred. "We also have to question the enemy we captured earlier."
As the started walking back however - Miyako was being carried by Leone as the girl was still unconscious - Lelouche heard something. "-hear me..." he turned around, confusing the other "can you hear me?" the voice became clearer and it seems he was the only one who could hear it.
"Who goes there?"
"... brother..." the young boy's eyes widdened as he recognized that voice.
"It can't be..." everyone else was confused as they saw teror on their friend's face. "Euphemia?"
[-x-x-x-]
Several figures could be sitting around a round table in a dark room.
"I never expected them to be this weak." the first figure complained. "We should have just killed them all."
"No need to rush." another figure chuckled, "let us not underestimate them too much as we never know what dumb luck they might have."
The others chuckled at that. "Anyway, the first step of our plan is now complete. Let us process to the next step."
"Yes." The one figure sitting at the other side of the table smiled as she stood up. This one had long pink hair and was wearing a long elegant dress showing her cleavage. "Leave everything to me."
~ Euphemia li Britania (Code Geass) ~
The young princess gave an innocent smile and excused herself. She soon left the dark room via a portal and now found herself on top of a building. Her eyes turned red as the Geass symbol appeared on them. "Bother, can you hear me?" she said while trying to connect to the other Geass user.
Chapter 5: Standoff
Chapter Text
The incident from the day before left everyone on their guard. They were all gathered in the classroom while their teachers were in another room, questioning the captured enemy. A dread silence made the atmosphere heavy.
"I was so useless once again..." Miyako quietly lamented as she looked down. "In the first place, why am I even here? I want to go home and take pictures of Hana-chan."
Menawhile, Wendy was patting the older girl's back from the seat beside her.
"But the fuck is wrong with these lunatics?" Shin'ya angrily scoffed as he rested his legs on the table. This action made Kazuto - whose seat was in front of him feeling awkward - as the white-haired individual was wearing a skirt. Well, technically, Shin'ya had a female body but the soul of a man. "They just appear out of nowhere, pick a fight then escape as soon as we get 'em cornered. I swear next time I see their ugly faces, I'll woop their asses."
Chikane, sitting by his side was in deep thought. She stole suspicious glances at Lelouch however as she was remembering the robot he summoned after their fight. Noticying her gaze, the boy turned around. "Something wrong, Himemiya-san?"
The aloof dark-haired girl closed her eyes and turned her gaze away. "It's nothing. I was just lost in my thoughts." In reality, that robot reminded her of the ones she drove with Himeko and the one used by Souma during their fight against Orochi. It was a bit similar but also different at the same time. She couldn't fully accept that everything their teacher said was real, especially when remembering how aggressive Kushina was when trying to awaken Miyako's power.
Noticying the awkward atmosphere, Leone gritted her teeth and stood up. By this point, everyone but Goblin Slayer and Rimuru were wearing the customized school uniform - GS still wearing his armor and Rimuru back to his slime form. "Argh! You guys are hopeless." The blonde walked in front of Chikane and offered a hand to her. "Look; I know we all have shady past and all but all of us gathered here are just scum of society - the ones rejected from their world, so we have to stay on good term. If you have complains to make, just word them. Nothing beats a good fistfight to solve all problems like real men."
"I'm a girl though."
"I'm not a scum."
"I wasn't rejected by my world."
The other students voiced out, causing Leone to chuckle. "Anyway, you got the point. If miss idol have a grudge against mister girly, just voice out your complain and get this over with."
"Miss idol?"
"Mister girly?"
"I mean ya look a lot like the kinda girl that gets other girls head over heels." The fighter laughed at their question. "and the dude looks like a girl until you check what junk's under his pants."
"What the-?"
Myrr sweated awkwardly at that comment. "Even though you said that, we have several girly boys in our classroom other than Lelouch-san..."
"That true." Astolfo chuckled. Thanks to these comments, the atmosphere in the room became more lively. "While I don't really like how Miss Leone voiced her words, I do agree with her. We should all make peace and solve our difference like adults."
"None of you are adults though." Miyako finally recovered from her despain even horizon state. "I am technically an adult but I still live with my parents so I don't want to get too involved with that."
"You are what?" everyone turned to the girl.
"Miyako, you are an adult?" Shin'ya couldn't believe his ears. "Sure, you look Japanese and most Japanese people are older than you look but you look like a middle schooler to me."
"That's cruel. I am already a college student."
"Well... Appearances can be deceiving as they said." Nagisa chuckled at that. "But I believe in her." he then turned back to Chikane. "That aside, solving all our troubles now would be helpful. We are a team so we have to help each others when in need."
The dark-haired girl sighed as everyone was urging her to express herself. "What a bunch of pushovers... But you do have a point." she then stood up and walked toward Lelouch. The boy kept his casual smile while calculating how to deal with her. "Let me get this straight; are you associated with Orochi?"
"Orochi?" He didn't expect that question.
"That robot you controlled yesterday."
"Oh. I understand that in your world, you had something similar. In my world, this robot is called a Knightmare though. With the advancement of technology, our scientists were able to create new invention and I was somehow able to control it even when not inside."
"Knightmare, huh?" Chikane still had her suspicions but agred with that explanation. "Then, please tell me more about your world."
The boy slowly shook his head. "Considering the situation, wouldn't it be more appropriate to tell more about yourself before inquerying about others. We are all suspicious of each others here."
The girl sighed. She didn't want to expose too much from her world to people who were potentially working for her enemies. Deep down, however, the unknown force that made them accept this reality was pushing her to trust these people. Behind her, Leone tapped her shoulder.
"Well... If everyone is gonna get gloomy again; lemme be honest." the blonde chuckled. "In my world, technology was quite advanced but I'd say not too advanced. We had special weapons made from stuff and fought each others for nothing and everything. During our last fight against the corrupted government, the child puppet emporor took out a giant ass robot and Tatsumi had to sacrifice himself to take it down."
"A robot?"
"Yeah. That thing was huge but I can say 100% that it was different from the one Mister Girly controlled."
"Could you please stop with that nickname?"
"Not a chance bozo."
Lelouch signed. "I see your world is very different than the one I was in."
Chikane also nodded before finally deciding to express herself. "I come from a modern age where the nations in the world are mostly at peace. I was just a normal student until my best friend suddenly awaken to a special power in order to fight demons from the underworld." She then proceeded to explain about the civilization of Japan, while omitting certain things, such as her close relationship with Himeko or like the fact she assaulted her friend out of jealousy.
"Your description of Japan sounds very different from the one I was in." Rimuru commented. "I used to live there as well but there were several differences." He then proceeded to explain that their world didn't have any form of magic at all and how their civilization came to be. He then explained to them how he was reincarnated in another world as a slime, where everything was different."
"So, you were isekai-d twice?" Kazuto nodded. "Interesting."
"The Japan I know is also very different from that." This time, Miyako explained about her world and everyone was in deep thought.
"So, basically we all came from Japan but the situation in each world is different." Lelouch nodded. "In my world, Japan was colonized by another country and renamed Area 11." He gave them a short summary of the situation while trying to expose as little information as possible. Of course, he was on his guard now more than ever since hearing Euphemia's voices the day before.
"That's so horible!" Myrr was the one that commented. "How could they have done such horible things to fellow humans. That's such a sad world to live in." Tears appeared in the corner of her eyes. The dragon girl valued her friends a lot so she couldn't bear to hear that Lelouch had to live in a world where humans enslaved and hurt other fellow human without logic.
Goblin Slayer shook his head at that comment though. "It's not an uncommon thing to happen. Even in my world where civilization is stagnent, people will hurt each others. That is if we don't count goblins, who are real pests making everyone's lives harder." He then proceeded to rant about goblins for another good minute so Wendy decided to move into another topic.
"Magnolia is a very different world where we have both magic and technology. I do assume however that there are several alternate worlds in this universe and we all come from them. To be honest, I already traveled to other worlds so I am not surprised."
Miyako nodded. "I guess you are right. I do wonder however if there is a way for us to return to our original world."
Everyone went silent at that. Some of them wanted to go back to their friends and family while others wanted to start a new life.
"This world is at least a thousand time better than fighting these stinky-ass titans." Levi sighed. "But there are things that must be done." the image of the Major Erwin and the other Scouts flashed in his mind for a second.
Chikane, on the other hand, looked down. "I cannot go back. Even if I go back, there is no place anymore for me."
Everyone looked sadly at her. They remember how sad she looked when talking about her crush from her world and how their romance has abruptly ended.
After another moment of silence, Shin'ya yawned. "Screw this all! I'm getting the hell bored out here so I'm gonna take a walk." He stood up and walked toward the door.
"Please wait." Wendy quickly stopped him. "Amai Mask-sensei told us to not be alone for some time as we might get attacked again."
"Hell with that!" the delinquant scoffed. "Ya guys can tremble in ya corner while pissing like lil' bitches while I go kick some asses. They hurt Mahiru's friends so I'm gonna go gouge their eyes and eat 'em tits."
"Dude, stop swearing; you're gonna raise this fiction's rating further." Astolfo said, confusing everyone.
"Fiction?"
"Rating?"
"Hehehe. Never mind."
"Anyway, I'm gonna go outside and fight them. You can just stay here while I kill them all."
The other looked at him go outside and thought a moment. "Shin'ya is right. The only thing I am good at is brawling." Leone also said while walking toward the door. "They hurt Miyako and I will not stand idly by. If you need a hug, ask now as my clothes will brobably be dyed with blood - not mine - later."
"Even you, Leone-san." Wendy looked at her with teary eyes. "But the teachers said."
"Screw that ass face. He is the most suspicious of everyone here. I'm gonna go out and no one can stop me."
After hearing that, Goblin Slayer stood up and walked toward the warrior. "In that case, we need a good strategy in order to trap them and make sure they don't escape. I suggest setting up explosives and poison gas to make sure they won't be able to gain the upper hand. That strategy works as well on troll and goblins alike so it should take care of these vampires."
"I didn't get 90% of what you said but I assume you're in as well."
"Everyone..."
Myrr also walked toward her. "It is dangerous out there so I will accompany you. Myrr doesn't want to lose another important family once again."
Leone's eyes softened as she looked at the young manakete. She was glad the girl saw her as family and wanted to fight to protect that relationship.
Seeing how detemined they were, Izetta also stood up. "I might not be very helpful in close-range but I want to help everyone if possible so please allow me to accompany you."
"Miss Izetta as well?" Wendy was on verge of despair that she couldn't stop her classmates. She then sighed. "Fine then. I will also join but you must promise me you will be careful and retreat at the first sign of danger."
"That something I can't promise." Leone smiled. "I am a warrior of the empire. I fight til the bitter end."
"That is exactly what I hate about you. Well, I do fight recklesly as well so I am not one to say but I will be very sad if something happened to you, Leone."
"Wendy..."
"Are you done flirting?" Astolfo chuckled as he approached them. "If you are, I suggest we form 3 teams so we can cover more ground and insure the defence of the school building. Let us make sure each teams are balanced so we can cover each other's weakness."
"We were not flirting!"
"I am not into little girls!" Leone also commented. "Well, I wouldn't mind getting laid with a little girl but I'll let you know I am not a lolicon."
"That is definitely what a lolicon would say..." Miyako looked at her with dead fish eyes, hypocritely so as she was a lolicon herself but wouldn't admit it. "I don't really want to fight them again but I don't want to be left alone. Please protect me in that case. In exchange, I will prepare you some sweets."
"Sweet?" Myrr looked at her with stars in her eyes. "I shall protect you with all my might."
"Hehe. You can count on me."
"Man. What a drag!" Shin'ya was walking alone on the school hallways. Up until a while ago, he still heard the cheerful sound of other students from their classroom and now he felt like in a different dimension. The sound echoed and everything looked purle-ish. He knew the enemies were close. "Whoever you are, come out and face me like a man!"
*chuckle* "So you noticed, huh?" Homura appeared from the ceiling. "I don't really like to bully others but you are a necessary sacrifice for Madoka's and my happiness. Please don't be too hard on me, okay?"
"So it was you bitch who got in my way and made Mahiru cry, huh?" He readied a knife from under his skirt and jumped at the enemy. His speed was superhuman but the dark magical girl easily dodged the attack. "Stop runnin' and face me like a man!"
"I am afraid I am no man but if you insist..." for a second, it seemed as if the world has changed color and Shin'ya's vision suddenly turned red.
Out of nowhere, the assassin fell on the ground, a wound appearing on his belly. "You bitch! What did you do?"
The enemy just chuckled. "I don't like bulying others so I will take you out of your misery." She slowly approached him and despite trying to mutter up all his strenght, Shin'ya could only groan.
'What did she do? Magic? Some curse? I didn't even see her move at all.' Shin'ya gritted his teeth while watching doom approaching.
Before Homura could reach him however, a gunshot echoed, forcing the dark magical girl to jump back to avoid the incoming bullet. Izetta quickly got in between Homura and Shin'ya while shooting another voley of bullets from her anti-tank riffle gun. Chikane quickly approached their downed comrade to help him stand up while Wendy casted a healing spell.
In less than few seconds, the wound was closed up - but the uniform shift was still torn up but Shin'ya didn't care about it. 'Healing magic sure is convenient. Maybe I should ask Kushina-sensei to teach me how to cast it later.' thought Chikane.
"Hmmm. This is bothersome. I never expected other people to be able to freely enter the dimension I created." Homura placed a finger on her chin as she appeared from the smoked, unscratched.
"How is this possible? I am sure I managed to hit her several times." Izetta looked in horror at her enemy.
"That is because she is using time and space magic." Lelouch was the one to answer. He too stood with Chikane and Wendy, his Knightmare defending them and one eye having turned into the geass. He was able to breach through her barrier and identify her powers thanks to the rebalancing of this world. After their encounter from the day before, he has studied a lot in order to gain the upper hand. "She stopped time earlier and stabbed Shin'ya before returning to her position. That power is obviously very dangerous."
The dark magical girl clapped her hands. "Nice deduction. That means I could kill you all whenever I want without you noticying anything."
"Eeek!" Izetta screamed after that. "S-something just touched my butt."
"It was I." Homura chuckled. "You didn't even noticed that. I even left a little gift in your cleavage."
The red-haired witch slowly looked at her chest and noticed a white tissue resting between her chests. Her face turned pale as she knew this opponent could just stop time whenever she wanted and turn the situation around. "W-why do you want to kill us?"
"Hmmm..." The girl thought about that question. "If I have to explain in simple words, we have to fight because the 'world' need these energies."
"What do you mean?"
"I'm sorry but I cannot reveal any further. All I can say is we need to fight. That also means we will not be taking your live away so rest assured."
"I am even more confused."
Hearing their interraction, Shin'ya finally decided to charge up ahead. "Scew all thing. You're dead bitch!" Before he could land an attack, however, gunshots were heard and Lelouch's Knightmare swiftly moved in front of Shin'ya to block the rapidly fired bullets.
"Muwahahahahaha. Did you really think you could get rid of this The Beast so easily?" A loud voice echoed before a muscular man appeared from behind Homura. "You had quite the fun while beating me up a while ago. Lemme return the favor."
"What is he doing here? I thought the teachers were questioning him?" Izetta panicked.
"Did you really think this The Beast would lose so easily? Of course, I killed these teachers of yours and came here!"
"Killed?" Wendy's face went pale after hearing that. "You're lying, aren't you?"
"Of course I am kid. Do you really believe everything your enemies tell?" The Beast laughed loudly, the gatling gun in hand. "You should go back to your Mama and suck on her tits. This ain't a world for lil' kids."
"How about some adult beating up in that case?" Leone suddenly appeared behind the Beast and slasshed his left shoulder using her claws. He barely managed to dodge it and Homura was surprised someone else managed to get this close without alarming her.
The two enemies now found themself surrounded as Shin'ya continued his charge, threw his knife and hit the Beast's stomach. He continued to charge, taking another knife and engaged in a melee fight against the giant man. Their knaves clashes several times and while the Beast focused on brute strengh, Shin'ya relied on his agility.
"Not bad girlie. Maybe I'll play with you later."
"In your dreams bozo. You die now." The silver-haired assassin suddenly disappeared, then reappeared behind his enemy before moving quickly to cut his throat. Before he could feel the flesh, the tall man moved gave him a reverse headbutt, making Shin'ya lose his balance. The Beast took that opportunity to rush in and tackled the assassin.
"Shin'ya!" Leone watched in horror but her expression soon changed when she saw the solver-haired assassin kick his enemy in the groin and managed to escape from the tackle. "You are stronger than your frame shows to me." She whistled.
"Oh my. This has turned into a difficult situation." Homura sighed as she placed a hand on her cheek, making an innocent face.
"I won't let you stop time again." Myrr said as she stood behind Leone. The dragon girl was holding her hands together in a prayer. "I have sealead the space time. However, I will not be able to move from this spot so please make sure to defend me."
"Roger that."
"It is indeed a very interesting situation." Homura continued to sign as she couldn't use her primary powers anymore now.
"Need a hand in that case?"
Everyone turned to the source of the new voice. Lelouch's eyes widdened. "This can't be..."
The individual slowly walked in. "When did she get here. I couldn't even feel her presence at all." Leone gritted her teeth.
The newcomer was wearing a regal pink dress, her long pink hair attached in regal ringlets, an innocent smile on her face. The most eye-catching feature were her crimson red eyes with the sign of birds on them. "Euphemia? Your eyes... Is that a geass...? Also, how are you alive?"
She chuckled. "Surprised, aren't you; dear brother? Do not worry as so did I when I woke up in this world." she placed a hand on her cheek and made an innocent expression. "Although it pains me, I am afraid we are enemies right now so I have to give it my all to help my friends."
"Friends? Don't make me laugh girlie." The Beast roared. "I am just using you bunch for my own interests. Don't get me wrong."
"Are you a tsundere or something?" Wendy commented.
Homura meanwhile just chuckled. "I am happy to have such reliable friends."
The fighting was now a 6 vs 3. The protagonists knew however that their opponents were far stronger than them. They would have to rely on teamwork if they wanted to come out as victorious. This time around, they wouldn't get any backup though so they nodded at each others, ready to take on this another challenge.
