(Here we go...I hope this is a good start!)

The Multiverse is a large place, where a number of people, creatures, and others have lived.

Across this expanse of time and space, three villains have gathered. In response, another three have risen to stop them.

As time and space righted itself, a new World was created, the very power both sides sought to complete their goals sealed in the heart of it, taunting them.

Power from not just the Elements themselves, but from those pure of heart were needed to unlock it. And so, they were gathered.

Heroes, villains, and those with no leaning were brought forth to this strange new world.

Some, such as The Dark Generals had been here already, having been tempted by Sauron, The Master, and Azazel.

As these people from across the Multiverse were gathered, as were items of immense power that could help those who found them.

The Good Trio and the Evil Trio agreed that they would not use their powers, and let their...minions, as the Evil Trio put it, to decide the fate of this World and others. Only Yuko Ichihara of the Good Trio, and Azazel the Yellow Eyed Demon of the Evil Trio would be allowed to grant aid, but as always, at a price.

As the ripple went through the Multiverse, people were gathered. Some, like the Princesses of Heart, and others, were simply plucked from their World into this.

Others found their own way through the weakening walls of the dimension, and others were simply given the chance, whether they took it our not.

A call had been issued, from both the Good and the Evil.

The Princesses of Heart must be gathered, and the Seven Elemental Rings as well. Search for them.

For those on the side of good, the message continued as such. Help bring about the restoration of this World and the others, for if this power falls into Evil hands, all is lost.

And to those who found comfort in the acts of evil, the message finished as this: Bring about a new order, and all yours dreams can be fulfilled, for this power is Evil's to take.

The Rings would show themselves in time, though they could be found before they were revealed.

And now, in this strange world, the stage was set for this battle.

Of course, it would be entirely possible neither Good nor Evil would win this battle...

For this gamble on the Multiverse, it was a three way thing.

-The Dark Tower-

Chase Young knelt by a fire, Vlad Plasmius and Visser Three by him. Each of them wore a slightly glowing golden colored ring on their hand.

"Good...Excellent..." a raspy voice said, scratching at the stone walls, "You three will do nicely as my new Generals...You know what you must do."

"Find the Princesses of Heart," Chase said, standing up.

"Collect the Seven Elemental Rings," Vlad Plasmius smirked.

<And destroy any who get in our way> Visser Three finished.

"Yes...But...You may be able to coax a few heroes to our side...Do not forget this."

"Of course Master," Chase Young answered, "It seems the Multiverse is shifting. Others are coming. Many others."

"Yes, they are...Now go!"

Chase disappeared in a flash of dark green fire, Plasmius simply turning intangible and flying away, as Visser Three turned and strode out of the room, his hooves sending echoes in the room...

-The Light Tower-

"I fear that we may not be powerful enough..." The Wise One sighed, his one blinking, the floating boulder over looking this World, "If those three get their hands on the power locked in the heart of this world, we are lost."

"True...But have faith friend. We are not alone...Both those of evil and good are being brought, and our message is being sent out into the minds of those who are like minded," Gandalf answered, walking forward and leaning on his cane.

A snicker from a couch behind him, and Yuko Ichihara grinned, "I think we'll do just fine. If not, at least I'll have a lot of potential customers."

Gandalf scowled at the female's attitude, but said nothing about it for now...

-The World-

As the Multiverse pulsed, people were brought here...Together.

Something about this World, but Trinities were forming, whether the three knew each other or not...All across this world now, others were coming, both Good, Evil, and Neutral...

One could only hope that the truth could be uncovered, before the pulsations in the Multiverse created a permanent riff...

(And so begins...Trinity: REDUX! I shall be revealing the location of a Ring in a bit, in a later post. Muhahaha. Have fun.)

Aries Volcano

"So... hot..." Sakura panted, fanning herself from the heat of the volcano that she and her group stood at the base of.

Wiping sweat from her face, Suki nodded. "It's like an oven." After being brought to this world from The Boiling Rock, Suki felt like she's never be in a normally heated place again.

"Oh whatever." Super Kimi shrugged, though she was also sweating. She floated in the air and got in a sitting position. "I just wanna find those rings or whatever. Whatever gets me out of here faster! Where should we start looking?"

When Kimi looked at Sakura and Suki, they just shrugged.

"Some side-kicks you are." Kimi sighed, floating in front of them, now upside-down in the air.

Snow Field

In the snow, three girls sat in a circle. One stood almost totally still, very relaxed. Another stood almost as still, though rubbing her hands together every few minutes. The third, very jealously, shivered and sneezed.

"ACHOO!" Yoko sneezed. She hardly wore anything and was obviously paying for it in the snow. "H-How are you not cold?!"

Starfire and Lum, dressed just as skimpy as Yoko was, shrugged. "My people are very resistant to different temperatures." Starfire answered. "We can even fly through space."

Lum, not patient enough to explain that she also had a bit of resistance because of her alien origin, crossed her arms. "Whatever. We have to hurry up and find dah-ling! He could be pulling his old tricks as we speak!"

Lum stood up to start flying, but the air was so snowy that she couldn't see more than a few feet in front of her.

"Just wait a second." Yoko said, grabbing her rifle. "My rifle can do a lot of things, maybe something that can help us." making some adjustments and pulling a trigger, a huge red flame burst from the end of the rifle. It remained there, providing some light. "Okay, let's try to get through like this."

The Jungle

Tiny footsteps could be heard rustling through the grass of the forest, but when a small twig snapped under the pressure of one particularly tiny foot, a little pink-haired girl jumped.

"AH!" Rini screamed when she heard the twig. Still her in her normal form, she trembled and looked around frantically.

Stopping behind Rini, another girl was looking down at the now broken stick. "It was just a twig." Sayuri shrugged.

"Oh... this stupid place is making me crazy!" Rini screamed, pulling her hair. "We gotta get out of this forest!"

"Then quit whinin' and start walkin', noisy shrimp." Bender, the robot pulling the rear scoffed. Next to him, his human friend Fry was slapping himself. His arms, his neck, and finally right on his face.

"OW!" Fry shouted, shaking his head. "Damn bugs!" As he said this, one bug landed on his forehead, and Bender, taking his cigar out of his mouth, shut one eye, as if trying to aim.

"Hold still, I'll get it--"

"Oh, stop it!" Sayuri shouted, slapping Bender's hand. "We've gotta work together to get out of here. And this is really no time to be smoking."

At this, Bender took a long, long drag of his cigar, but before he could blow the smoke in Sayuri's face, she slapped the cigar out of his hand and mashed it into the ground.

"Okay, okay, Geez." Bender agreed, waiting for Sayuri to turn back around before he simply took out a new cigar to start smoking.

Teh City

Crystal Rose had been a Flan-I for quite some time, and in this time she had learned many things that had enabled her to become the skilled master she was now. Of course no lesson was more important than the one she recieved right after being descovered by her teacher Spoony. She remembered being told to always expect the unexpected, that and that alone was the most important thing to know when going into a fight or just being one with the flan. At the time as a naive student she did not get the full understanding of this short and simple messege but as she grew and lived as a full fleged Flan-I she realized that no other lesson proved more true. You always had to expect the unexpected when you lived in Teh City.....With crazy superheros and even crazier supervillans.

Little did Crystal know that this old lesson would even prove true on her day off...Her once in the century day to rest and relax....She had decided to take her day off at a nearby beach where the water was clear (uncharacteristicly so for being so close to the city), the sky was blue, and the temprature perfect. She walked up the beach, her boots and cape wrapped up neatly in her hands , intent on getting some shaved ice from a nearby vendor.....Of course that never happened....Remember "expect the unexpected"? Well Crystal didn't expect to get swallowed up in a huge mass of bright light, nor did she expect to land in a location she had never seen......

Deffinately unexpected....

Meanwhile in what seemed like another part of the world.......

The City in Mochaland (Yep, we're oh so creative...)

A teenaged girl let off a small sigh as she finally made her way out of a crowded school building in midafternoon. It had deffinately been a long day (she doubted that she had worked as hard as she did today since exam weel) and was looking forward to just making it home to her mom and big brother.......Of course she wasn't too tired for a quick detour.....A Kale themed detour!

The young girl grinned with a light tint of pink gracing her cheeks at the internal mention of her crush....Yeah, she deffinately could spare at least a short time seeing him.

But that chance never came...As she walked towards the appartment of Kale and Rina the same glow that engulfed Crystal did the same for the ravenhaired preteen. With a yelp and a flash of her shadows she dissapeared.

Cerulean City

"LIKE MISTY GET IN HERE LIKE NOW!"

There were times when Misty swore she was Cinderella....Of course that was minus the handsome prince, talking Raticate with a knack at making ball gowns, and the pumpkin carriage. Noooo she just was stuck with three evil sisters (though not step as far as she knew) who bossed her around and made her life ten times hander than it needed to be.

Currently Misty was helping Lilly, Daisy, and Violet prepare for their newest play, a direct sequel to the Magical Mermaid. And by helping she was actually doing all of the work. Her hands were full of boxes when the eldest sister of the four girls came in.

"Like Violet needs you by the pool, something about more lights."

Misty groaned and nodded, allready walking towards the pool where she usually spent her time battling in intent on finishing off whatever task that was at hand before hiding in her room until this dumb play was over....Of course like many of the people around the universe at that exact moment she wouldn't get the chance to complete er day as expected...Instead she found herself being consumed by a brigt light that caused her to drop her boxes and gasp.


Endless Desert

"Okies, I wanted to play in the sand but this is ridiculous...."

"You can say that again.....Kanto doesn't even have a desert! And what about those rings?"

"How far away do you think we are from our homes?"


The three girls, who at one point lived in totally different locations (and most likely universes) were now standing in front of eachother, each displaying a confused expression and a slightly worried frown. None of them knew quite was going on. The oldest, Crystal plopped onto the sandy ground and began to pull her long boots back on her bare feet. Melanie and Misty looked down at the girl as if they had never seen a Flan-I before.

"Ummm yes?" Crystal asked, staring back at them with one boot now on and the other resting on by her left foot. "Do I have something on my face?"

"Oh no, Sorry!" Melanie exclaimed "It's not polite to stare but it's just....Where are you from?"

"Teh City" The pink knight answered

"Teh city?" Misty questioned with a raised eyebrow

"Yeah, it's the home of Super Kimi and Wonder Sama. Dont'cha know it?" Crystal now stood back up, her boots in place. She then fastened her cape around her neck.

Misty shook her head "There isn't a "Teh City" in Kanto...Or Jhoto as far as I know. And deffinatly no one who dresses like that"

Crystal looked down at her outfit "Hey this is the outfit of a very well dressed Flan-I knight!"

"Oh like the flan I made for Jason and I last Tuesday?" Melanie asked excitedly

"Uhhhh....Probably, except you don't eat the Master flan....Spoony would probably have our heads...."

"Master......Flan.....?" Misty repeated

Crystal sighed and looked out at the endless desert in front of them....She suposed they would need to find a way out of this place eventually. "Come on, lets start walking....I'll explain on the way."

(Wootness for a new RP! I'll post the intros for my other teams as soon as I get some sleep XD)

-Aries Volcano-

"Oooh great..." a voice muttered through this hot air, "Of all the people to run into here..."

Super Jimi floated there, covered in ice to help keep cool, arms across his chest.

Behind him floated another girl, Dani Phantom, who stayed close to Jimi as well to help stay cool with the fellow clone's ice.

And finally, there was another girl, much taller then Jimi and Dani, but she was standing, a smile on her face. She seemed okay, but she was a Time Lord, so she could stand the heat fairly well. Part of being an alien.

Jimi narrowed his eyes at Kimi, though he didn't attack. Dani seemed a little nervous. She'd back up Jimi in a fight, but she was hoping Jimi wouldn't go after Kimi and these others.

"Hi!" Jenny grinned, stepping forward and holding out her hand, "My name is Jenny, nice to meet you all."

-Abandoned City-

Danny Phantom floated through the empty city, wondering where everyone was.

At first he thought he was in the Ghost Zone, after that flash of light had swallowed him up. But no, it wasn't. At least, not anywhere he knew of.

Also flying through the city was a dark skinned young man on a glowing disc.

"Man, that was weird," he commented, "I was just heading to school, and something got me...Where am I?"

A third figure flew through the air by rockets on her robotic ponytails.

They each turned a corner, and froze, each seeing each other.

"Who are you?" they demanded. Electricity sparked around Static Shock. Ectoplasmic energy glowed around Danny Phantom, and Jenny XJ-9s right arm turned into a large laser.

They all stared at each other. Danny knew these people weren't ghosts...His ghost sense wasn't going off.

"...My name's Jenny," Jenny finally said, though she kept her laser trained, "Jenny Wakeman. I'm...a hero."

"Static Shock," Static said, "Likewise." The two glanced towards Danny.

"...Name's Danny Phantom. I'm a good guy too."

-Endless Desert-

Three figures glanced at each other, their fingers itching, all three of them staring at each other, the sands whipping about their forms.

"...Interesting..." one said, with dark hair and a black trench coat, cocking his head towards the one with a white lab coat. "Your powers...I can sense them, very similar to mine."

"Yes...they are, aren't they?" The Spork grinned, then looked towards the third figure.

"Now, now...We're all intelligent primates here, aren't we?" Gorilla Grodd grinned, "My name is Gorilla Grodd. I believe we all want something."

"Yes...that power..." Sylar grinned, eyes alight, "I am Sylar..."

"You may call me The Spork," The Spork said, then glanced around. This desert sparked a memory.

"Well then, glad we don't have to fight each other. I believe we know what we need to look for," Gorilla Grodd said, padding forward.

Spork chuckled, wiping some hair from his brow, "Yes...And I think I can sense someone we need..."

-The Plains: Near The Jungle Border-

"I'm the oldest, and I'm bigger, so I should be the boss!"

"No way am I listening to you! What are you dressed in anyways? Halloween isn't for months!"

Jade sighed, sitting on the grass as Jack and Ben continued yelling at each other. Each three had appeared here suddenly, and after some introductions, with Jack pausing just before he declared he was an 'evil boy genius,' Ben and Jack were arguing who should be in charge.

"Bigger then me? Ha! I'll show you who's bigger!" Ben growled, moving his odd 'watch' on his wrist, a part of it shooting upwards.

"Will you two quit it?" Jade said, stepping forward, the two boys giving pause, "We have no idea where we are, and some weird voice is talking about these Princesses and Ring things...Maybe we should focus on what is happening, okay?"

Jade sighed. Never did she think she would be the voice of reason, but someone had to keep these two in line...

The Living Forest

Consumed by a bright flash of light and transported into an alternate world! It was a very strange, unusual and out-of-the-ordinary thing to happen to anyone. However, for three of the people transported in this fashion, it didn't seem too unusual at all.

"Awwww, maaaaaaaaaaan. Again?" A man who looked to be in his mid-twenties was sitting on the ground beneath a giant tree, grumbling about his current predicament. He wore a red coat with strange black tubes and buttons all over it, and his hair was a blond shade, though a bit of black was creeping in from the bottom.

"Tell me about it." The second member of the group was a young man with spiky, brown hair, deep emerald eyes and a red-and-white jacket. He was leaning against the tree, his arms crossed, as if his entire day had just been ruined.

"Pfft... to think, a few minutes ago my biggest worry was what to cook for dinner, and now: BAM! Alternate universe. Do they make an 'dimension-hopper' frequent flier program?"

The third member of the group was a high school girl with chocolate hair tied by a golden ribbon, and equally gold eyes. She wore a school uniform and had her arms crossed. Unlike her companions-in-red, she didn't say anything.

"I don't know, but if you find one, sign me up." The blond man sighed.

"Yeah, will do. Anyway... I guess we'd better figure out where we are. Some kind of forest, that's for sure. I don't suppose you have any idea, do you Miss?" The brown-haired man asked.

"Don't talk to me." The girl replied.

Both men exchanges blinks. Then the brown-haired one scratched his neck nervously. "Oi... I realize this is all pretty strange, but it's been my experience that when this stuff happens, and you find a group, it's usually a good idea to stick together."

"Yeah, that's true." The blond-man agreed.

"Forget it." The girl shook her head. "I don't have time for ordinary people." With that, she turned and started walking away, and before either of the men could stop her, she'd vanished into some bushes.

"... Wow. That must be the first time anyone's called you 'ordinary' in years, eh?" The blond-man grinned.

"Look whose talking, Mr. Humanoid Typhoon." The brown-haired boy replied sarcastically.

A second later, the girl reappeared from the bushes -- and so did something else. A giant, horrible, Tree Monster!

"Now this is exciting!" The girl cheered, apparently overjoyed to find a demonic tree. The tree was making noise too -- only this noise was more of a snarl, and it seemed to mean it wanted to eat the girl.

The monster dove towards her, it's mouth wide open, but a second later she felt herself picked up -- the brown-haired boy had grabbed her and jumped straight up onto a sturdy tree-branch above them. A jump of over fifteen feet.

"Hey! You jump like a plumber!" The girl exclaimed, apparently suddenly finding something interesting about the two 'ordinary' boys.

The tree monster hadn't forgot them, and it roared and started towards the tree branch. It reached it's own branch-hands towards them; but the boy held out his free hand and in his palm a green light flashed. A second later, a barrage of lightning fired, dancing over the tree-monster's face.

The monster stumbled back, but it did not go down. As it roared again, the blond man jumped up into the trees, standing just in front of the brown-haired man and the girl. The blond's right arm suddenly gave a loud pop opened to reveal a hand holding a machine gun!

The robotic arm fired and several bullets hit the tree -- not the monster tree, but the tree BEHIND it. The top of the tree cracked, fell and crushed the monster-tree.

"Whoa! A robot-man!" The girl seemed even more delighted.

"Not exactly. I'm simply a wandering soul, a free spirit who chases the elusive mayfly known as love. A --"

"Yeah, he's Vash the Stampede." The brown-haired man cut him off.

"Heeeeeey! I wanted to do my dramatic introduction!" Vash complained.

Ignoring him, the brown-haired boy introduced himself: "And I'm Flan-I Knight and Super Hero, Wonder Sama."

"You're just a sidekick." Vash reminded him.

"Shuddap." Sama snapped back.

"... Hmm... a robot and a plumber who can shoot lightning." The girl seemed to have been oblivious to everything they said, causing both Sama and Vash to sweat drop.

"Alright then, I've decided! Since I don't know where my Brigade is, I'll make YOU two members. My name is Haruhi Suzumiya, now come on; we're going to go look for more strange, paranormal things like that!"

With Haruhi's introduction, she jumped from the tree branch to the ground and ran over to inspect the fallen tree-monster.

"... Weird girl." Vash noted.

"COME ON!" Haruhi yelled back at them.

"Somehow, I always end up getting bossed around by a girl." Sama sighed.

(So it begins. Don't forsake teh other RPs, please, folks! :heh: )

S.A.I.N.T. Base

Vidit, Snake, and "Chief" (I'll call him that) were all standing at attention, near a portal. One of S.A.I.N.T.'s commanders was pacing by them.


"Gentlemen." he said. "We don't know what it's about, but something powerful is forming in a distant dimension. You have all been hand-picked for this mission, Snake for his stealth training, Vidit for his overall training and..." the officer paused. "...heart, shall we say, and Chief for his at least quad-digit hostile KIA count. Get over there, do what needs to be done, and get back. Cortana will be accompanying you. Understood?"

It was a short, to the point briefing.

"Yes sir." all three he was addressing replied in unison. With salutes, they stepped into the portal...but it seemed that they were "summoned" at the same time, causing a mix-up...and causing them to appear in three different places.


Desert

Chief got up...and looked around. He clearly was in some desert of some sort...with his squadmates nowhere nearby. He did, however, get readings of people just over the next sand dune...they had to have heard him hit the ground.

He drew his weapons, and aimed in the direction they'd likely be coming from. Presumptuous? Sure, but his years on the battlefield had taught him a very simple rule: better safe than sorry.

Abandoned City

Snake got up. Taking in his surroundings, he realized that the mission was not going according to plan, as he had been separated from his team.

He began to ascend one of the nearby buildings, in hopes of getting a better grasp of his surroundings.

Snow Field

If Yoko, Starfie, and Lum were to look up, they'd see a white portal open up a short distance above the ground and someone would be uncerimoniously be ejected out of it, hitting the snow with an "OOF!"

Vidit got up as quickly as he could, and looked around. Seeing that he was in the middle of a huge snow field, he expressed his feelings about his predicament.

"Feces." he said dryly.

Whipping out the glove, its PDA told him that there were other people nearby.

Looking over in their direction, he saw three scantily-clad appearently female forms a bit away from him.

Great... he thought to himself. ...and I thought a mission away from Teh City would mean that I was going to be out of crazy-land...
"HELLO!" he called out, waving. He figured he may as well make contact. He was a little chilly, but a snap of his fingers with the glove could fix that...



(Is this alright? That my team's split up at first? And if anyone wants my charas to leave theirs alone for now, just say so and I'll edit this. :heh:)

Snow Field

"I hate the cold." A young man with bluish-gray hair and a red jacket sighed as he rubbed his arms, trudging through the snow.

"Eh, it's not so bad, really." Another young man, this one wearing black, with a small fire-emblem in his hair, shrugged. "I suppose I have an advantage, being from the South Pole and all." Sokka grinned.

Musashi took in a deep breath and then exhaled -- a ball of fire! "Ah, that's better. Nice and warm!" Musashi grinned, once again thankful for his Sharingan and the ability to copy techniques.

"OI. Quiet down, you two." In front of them was the one person who should have been coldest of all. A man with crazy blue hair, awesome red sunglasses and a matching crimson scarlet cape. That cape was the only article of clothing he wore above his waste -- and being shirtless in the snow, he should have been dying of cold.

Instead, though, that man was standing tall and looked as if the cold didn't bother him at all. Behind his eyes were flames brighter and hotter than the ones Musashi was spitting.

"... This guy's crazy." Sokka whispered to Musashi.

"Actually he reminds me of somebody I know. Only with less crazy flames." Musashi muttered.

(My team mates are split up at first XD Hopefully that's fine! If not, post will def. be changed.)

Jusenkyo Springs

Near the cursed springs, a masked villain & a bat were wrestling over a shiny object.

"Give it back! I saw it first!" Screeched the bat who had her grip tightly on one of the glimmering chaos emeralds.

"That's a load of BS & you know it!" Yelled the masked figure, who was dressed in all black with the exception of his white mask. Both did not know exactly where they were, but for now it didn't matter. The shimmer of one of the seven chaos emerald had a current hold of their attention.

"Woman, if you don't let go -- " Red X suddenly stopped when he saw another female figure fly through the air. She looked a lot like Starfire.

"I guess coming into an unfamiliar world wasn't all that bad." With that said, Red X pushed Rouge hard to the ground, snagged the emerald, and began following the "Starfire" look-a-like by transporting every few yards.

"HEY!!" Rouge yelled, "Get back here with my emerald!" She spread her wings and took flight, all three headed to the living forest.

(As long as you plan on having them regroup later, I see no problem Vidit, and Joha!...And there is a Chaos Emerald at the Jusenkyo! It's on my list thing!)

(Rouge and Red X have acquired the Blue Chaos Emerald)

-Endless Desert-

Spork, Sylar, and Grodd all turned, hearing a noise. Spork and Sylar also sensed the Spartan.

"...Humph...Just a normal person," Sylar said, not sensing any special abilities from the warrior.

Gorilla Grodd chuckled, looking over there. This would be interesting.

Suddenly, all three of them paused, feeling a power surge across the land...

Ignoring Cheif, they began to head south-east.

-Snow Field-

"So that's my story," Aang said, as he, Sora, Kairi, and Isaac rode atop of Appa, the five having found themselves in these snowy fields, "I hope we can find my friends. They have to be around somewhere!"

"I wonder if my friends are here too..." Sora sighed, "Riku, Donald, Goofy, The King..."

"Well I'm sure they're fine Sora," Kairi smiled.

Isaac frowned suddenly, feeling something.

"Hey...Do you feel that?" he said quietly.

The others paused, and also felt a wave of power.

"Hey, I bet it's one of those Ring things we need to find! Yip yip!" Aang grinned, Appa turning in the air.

The 'Yip yip' would ring throughout the air, Appa heading for an odd collection of people that was forming in the snow...

-Mercury Island-

This island, covered in vines and other overgrown plants pulsed, as atop a ruined altar sat the Ring of Water, giving it's wielder command of the liquid and all it's forms.

However, one would have to tread carefully here...Something was guarding the Ring of Water, and would not give it up without a battle...

The Living Forest

Haruhi had already investigated the body of the tree-monster and lost interest in it. However, the brief battle with the beast had peaked her curiosity in this new dimension and now she was determined to explore every inch of it, looking for the unnatural and paranormal. She also planned to drag Vash and Sama along.

Sama, meanwhile, had been picking some berries and filling his pocket with them so they'd have some kind of food, when suddenly he got a cold shiver down his back.

"What's up?" Vash asked.

"I sense a great disturbance in the Flan. It's as if some kind of great evil is somewhat nearby."

That peaked Haruhi's interest in the boys again, and she hurried on over. "What kind of evil? Aliens? Monsters? Espers? Demons? El Chupacabra?"

"Maybe... it also could be a giant dragon, an ax-wielding psychopath or..." He trailed off.

"Or?" Haruhi demanded.

"... Well, I also get this same feeling whenever my girlfriend's around." Sama admitted, scratching his head. He then quickly added: "But if we run into Kimi, I'll deny that no matter what. If I admit she's right about Blackfire, I'll never hear the end of it."

Snow Field

As the three swordsmen trudged on through the snow, they came upon a discovery!

No, it was not the newly-arrived secret agent Vidit, nor was it the scantily-clad beauties. (Had it been, Kamina surely would have reacted just as loudly, but for different reasons)

Instead it was a giant, furry Abomidable Snowman.

The Yeti was on the ground beneath them; the three swordslingers were on a hill above. Kamina stood on the edge of the hill, his arms crossed. Musashi and Sokka behind him, looked down.

"We could probably just ignore it." Musashi suggested. He never shy-ed away from a fight, but he had learned -- quite painfully -- not to pick unneeded combat.

"I could come up with a plan on how to defeat it. Give me five minutes!" Sokka bragged.

Kamina ignored them both, grabbing his sword, he jumped from the hill and landed in front of the monster.

"Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey, HEY!" Kamina yelled, slamming the Yeti in the head with his katana -- though the sheathe was still in place, so instead of a slice it was just a slam. "Who the hell do you think I am!?"

The Yeti sprang to life with a loud, violent roar. Loud enough, perhaps, to attract the attention of the barely-dressed beauties or the newly-arrived secret agent. (Up to them, though)

"... This guy is crazy!" Sokka complained.

"... I wonder if Lavan has a brother he never told me about." Musashi mused to himself.

Aries Volcano

Three girls had been transported to this strange world.

"Boy, it sure is hot here." commented Launch, as she wiped some sweat off of her forehead.

Nearby, timid Asuka added, "I know, it IS, isn't? I wonder why we couldn't end up somewhere cooler."

Amelie pointed onwards and declared, "If it's somewhere cooler you want to be, then that's where we'll go! Nothing ventured, nothing gained! If we stand around here whining about how hot it is, we'll perish and... stuff. So let's go!"

So, the three of them decided to cooperate and go on together. It was then that Amelie saw a familiar face, "Eh? Super Kimi?"

((I'm still not completely sure where to place my other characters, so I'll introduce them later))

-The Living Forest-

If Haruhi was really attentive, she might notice something yellow shining amongst the plants...

-Snow Fields-

As soon as the first Yeti awoke and roared, their was a bellowing response.

From behind the sword wielders, a new Yeti pounded it's chest, then glared at them angrily.

Then it did something very strange...Beams of energy shot from it's eyes, right at them!

Energy condensed around them in the form of a sphere, a spiky brown haired teenager with a giant key for a weapon landing on the snow, as high in the air came a beast very familiar to Sokka.

Appa landed, roaring at the Yeti who fired the eye beams, who Sora was currently fighting with.

Isaac jumped off Appa, nodded to Sokka and Musashi, and pulled out his Sol Sword, running forward to help Sora.

"Sokka!" Aang yelled, jumping off of Appa's head with a grin, "Hey, where's everyone else?"

-Aries Volcano-

"Great," Jimi muttered, "It's the girl my brother has a crush on..." Of course, he didn't say this loudly. Only Dani, who was hovering by him overheard that comment.

Jimi glanced towards this new group of females. Lots of people...But not The Professor or Hammah. Heck, not even Avenger or those other Custard-Is!

"Hello," Jenny said politely to this new group of girls, stepping forward, "My name is Jenny, nice to meet you all. That their is Dani," she pointed to the ghost girl, "And that's Jimi, the one who's covered in ice and floating at the moment."

Mercury Island

The local vines and other wild plants were everywhere. They plant-life was thriving on Mercury Island and it was hard to walk through the density. Suddenly, a glowing green hand sliced through some vines with ease, clearing a path for three.

"Alright girls, don't forget, whatever we find belongs to me."

Azula, Shego and Harley Quinn had appeared on the small Island. Shego and Harley had found one another and had just began to talk when Azula showed up and declared they would be her minions.

Both Shego and Harley had laughed and flat-out refused; but after surrounding them with bright blue flames and threatening to make them sizzle like bacon, they had fallen in line under their new boss pretty quick. Shego became she dug Azula's determined, demented style -- and Harley because the Princess was so unstable she reminded her of someone she knew.

As the three trudged on, they soon came upon a ruined altar.

"And what have we here?" Azula grinned. "Shego, go get it."

"Yeah, yeah. Sure." Shego smirked, jumping towards the ring...

Snow Fields

"AANG!" Sokka grinned, running over to his friend with a huge goofy smile. "Oh man, am I glad to see you and Appa! ... Wait..."

Sokka just realized what Aang had said. 'Where's everyone else'. His face fell. "... They're not with you? You haven't seen Katara or Toph or Suki or Zuko?"

As Sora fought with the laser-eye Yeti, Musashi charged over to help. He rolled through the snow, jumped up from behind the Yeti, and struck him with a Hyuuga-style Juken punch, hoping it would fall the beast.

Kamina, meanwhile, charged at the other Yeti, swinging his still-sheathed sword several times.

The Living Forest

Haruhi was ignoring the chatter of the boys once more; seemingly only paying attention to them on rare occasion. As she looked about, a glint of yellow caught her golden eyes.

"What?"

Aries Volcano

Launch greeted them and said, "Nice to meet you, my name is Launch."

Asuka was about to say something along the same lines, until she noticed Jimi. Immediately upon noticing him, a shiver went down her spine, and she let out a blood curdling scream...

"KYAAAAAA!!!! A MAN!!!!"

She started running away at an incredible speed, crying from unimaginable fear as she effortlessly flung any trees and boulders in her way into opposite directions as though they weighed nothing (though they were actually quite heavy).

Launch gently put her arm near her mouth and said to herself, "Oh no, this isn't good." She turned towards the others and said, "That's Asuka. She kind of has a fear of boys."

Amelie noticed Asuka run off and said, "Oh, no!" and then she pointed at Jimi and said, "You vile Custard villain! What have you done to that poor girl! You shall answer to the name of justice, for I am a Flan-I Knight... in training. But first, we must try and catch the fair maiden! Cuz, ya know... it's like dangerous out here and stuff and we shouldn't split up."

-Mercury Island-

As soon as Shego jumped for the Ring of Water, a massive plume of the stuff would suddenly appear around it, lifting it into the air, twisting and turning, giving it shape.

With a roar, Posedien appeared, resting on a stationary wave of water, holding his trident forward.

"If you wish for the Ring of Water to be in your grasp, then you must best me, King of the Sea."

With that, Posedien waved his trident, and giant ice missiles fired from the sky at the three females!

-Snow Fields-

"No, they're not," Aang sighed, looking distraught, "I met some new friends though, they seem nice."

"Hello," Kairi said, still on Appa, as she couldn't fight.

Aang pulled out his fancy new glider, and waved it forward, using Water Bending on the non eye beam firing Yeti, hoping to freeze it and help Kamina

As Musashi struck the eye beam firing Yeti, it stumbled, but stayed up. It's thick fur and hide seemed to be shielding it from attacks.

It roared, firing it's eye beams again.

"Granite!" Isaac shouted, calling forth the Djinni to shield them, taking the brunt of the blast with it's Psynergetic shield.

Sora yelled, racing forward and slicing with his Keyblade, hitting the Yeti's hand and sending a small, rock-like object flying into the air...Right at Sokka!

The Yeti yelled and squinted at Sora, the Keyblade Master holding his weapon to block, but paused.

The Yeti seemed confused. It couldn't fire it's eye beams anymore!

-The Living Forest-

Lying there was the Yellow Chaos Emerald, amongst the roots and vines and plants and what not of this forest.

Of course...would such an item really just be lying there unguarded?

-Aries Volcano-

"I didn't do anything!" Jimi shouted in his defense, "I was just floating here..."

He turned to Amelia, making a face at her. "Please, I could wipe the floor with you..." "But then Hammah would never forgive me..." "But I'm not really here to cause evil. I just want to find where The Professor and brother is and then figure things out from there."

"We should!" Dani nodded, and began to fly after Asuka. She could turn intangible if a boulder or something came at her.

"Hey, wait up!" Dani called out, "It's okay!"

Jenny sighed, shaking her head, then turned to Jimi, "It's okay Jimi, I know you're not all bad."

Mercury Island

As the icy-missiles shot from the trident, Azula didn't even budge. She huffed and flames exploded from her nose, burning away the ice into harmless warm water.

Harley jumped madly out of the way, whipped a gun from out of her bag, and fired a over-sized cork at Poseidon -- a over-sized cork that was actually a small, grenade-like device.

Shego almost got herself impaled on a frozen missile; but she jumped to the side, slashed at it with her claw and melted it away, receiving only a scratch on her leg.

"Best you? I'll destroy you." Azula scoffed, sending a bolt of lightning at Poseidon!

Mercury Island

"Don't worry Aang, they can take care of themselves." Sokka said with a half-smile, but he was worried about his sister, Toph and Suki. (Zuko mysteriously left off the worry list).

Suddenly a rock-like object started spinning at Sokka -- and it beaned him in the head, knocking him down.

Kamina watched the Yeti as it became covered in a sheet of ice. It seemed to slow down, but did not completely stop. Kamina cracked him in the head again with his sheathed katana, knocking the beast back -- but it still wasn't down for good!

Musashi sighed as he noticed the eye-beam Yeti refuse to go down. He activated his Sharingan and jumped back a bit. "OI! Clear the way!" He yelled to the others as he spat a massive fireball at the beast, hoping the heat would stop the monster.

The Living Forest

Haruhi did not know what a Chaos Emerald was; but she grabbed for it! It was a giant, mysterious stone.

-Mercury Island-

Poseidon roared as the attacks hit home, but he still seemed more then capable of a fight.

Every guardian of the Rings were tough people to deal with...

Poseidon waved his trident, and a giant waterfall came roaring at the three girls.

"Heh...pathetic..."

A blue haired man appeared by these girls, holding up his hands, Psnyergy coursing around his form, freezing the wave.

Clenching his fist, more Psynergy glowing, the frozen wave shattered, firing at Poseidon.

Finally, Alex chuckled, raising his hands as fireballs leapt from them, coursing towards the water deity.

"This creature has a weakness to Mars attacks," Alex said to the females, "That is Fire techniques..."

He did not offer his name, or even explain what he was doing here.

And behind all of them were two cloaked figures, the other two in Alex's team...

-Snow Fields-

The former eye beam shooting Yeti went down, hit by the fireball, but slowly picked himself back up.

"Grand Gaia!" Isaac shouted, using the powerful Venus Psynergy to finally put down the beast. Sora and Isaac turned to help the others.

Aang paused, looking down at Sokka, then at the odd rock-like object in the snow that had hit him, picking it up.

"Huh...it has a picture of some sort of animal on it..."

Aang pocketed it to show Sokka later, for now just dealing with helping the Water Tribe boy up and defeating this final Yeti...

-The Living Forest-

The Chaos Emerald glow softly in Haruhi's presence, for a number of reasons.

For now, everything seemed okay...

Mercury Island

If Alex expected Azula to be grateful for his help, he was sorely mistaken. (Though, I doubt Alex expected that anyway). She only viewed him as someone else who was here for the strange ring -- which she now knew was important if a monster was guarding it.

Azula did take his advice, however; she jumped so she was closer to Poseidon and then unleashed a few fireballs from her hands and feet; showering the fish-man with blue flames.

Harley ducked back a bit, keeping an eye on Alex and his two companions.

Shego jumped down closer to Alex and raised an eyebrow. "And who are you?"

Snow Fields

Sokka was grateful for Aang's help up and he clutched his sore head. Looking around, he noticed there was still one Yeti left to fall.

Well, there had been. Finally it fell, overwhelmed by the sheer number of attacks it had received. Kamina grinned, jumped on the Yeti's back, and yelled happily.

"Yeah! Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah! Alright, we did it!" He rested his katana on his shoulders.

Musashi looked to Sora. "Nice fighting, man."

The Living Forest

Haruhi hurried back to the boys, holding up the Emerald in her hands. "Look! I found this. It's probably part of a Crystal Skull, or a piece of an Alien Spaceship."

Sama blinked. "Yeah... that's a Chaos Emerald. But, it's pretty strange and paranormal." He added.

"... Excellent! I've made a discovery!" Haruhi was surely pleased with herself. "There's more where this came from; come on Brigade!"

Vash tilted his head. "She's kind of bossy."

Sama put his hands behind his neck. "No kidding. But she's cute. That's reason enough for me to listen."

"Enough chatting among the ranks!" Haruhi demanded.

Vash sighed. "Even the insurance girls weren't this bossy..."

Cloudtops

"OK, can any of you purple girls explain why the heck we are on this mountain?" the red echidna asked as he was watching the sky.

"I don't know! Why don't you ask your look-alike?" the cat pointed at the echidna/hedgehog girl.

"Hey! I would have NO idea! I was just drawing pictures when a light brought me here, so don't ask me." Michelle answered.

"You can draw with those big hands?" "HEY! Speak for yourself, Lego blocks!" Michelle and Knuckles argued.

Blaze tryed to get them to stop. "Guys?" "These are NOT Lego blocks!" Knucx yelled. "Oh yeah? Then what are they, Mega blocks?" the static echid-hog yelled back.

"Guys!" Blaze screamed, but with no luck. Knucx and Michelle were still at it. "GUUUUYYYYYS!" They finally stopped.

The cat cleared her throat. "OK, so none of us know where we are, but do any of us know WHY we are here?"

Michelle scratched the back of her head, "Uhh.....something about...rings?"

Knuckles tryed to think, "Uhhhhh.....I'm not getting anywhere. You?" The echid-hog just shruged.

Blaze rolled her eyes. "Well, at least I know. I'll be the leader....since no one else over here knows much about what we're doing."

(You guys never sleep do you? XP)

Snow Fields


"Snow is stupid, snow is wet.....And snow is NOT made of dirt.....I HATE IT HERE!"

A small teenaged girl, so small that she barely looked so, stood in the middle of an empty snowfield. With every blind step she kicked the white fluffy snow with her bare foot, emiting a soft crunch and a really cold foot. The girl grimaced and finally decided to plop down in the snow....She was confused, angry, and alone....Mostly....


"SNOW DAY! Totally awesome!" A small 8 year old girl with dark skin ran around in the snow as if it was the coolest thing she had ever seen. Truthfully, Sari Sumdac was worried about how she got here but for the time it seemed like the snow was distracting her pretty well. She then turned to Toph Bei Fong who was still sitting in the now grumbling.

"What's wrong? Don't like the snow?" Sari asked

"I hate it...." Toph responded curtly

Sari's mouth formed a small O before turning to the other girl who was standing nearby, contimplating the situation. She looked as if she was nice enough, despite the various peircings and tattoos on her face. She was bundled up in a large jacket and was staring out into the cold snow.

"What about you, do you like the snow" Sari asked the other girl. The girl, Eva Wei turned to the girl and gave a small smile.

"I like it but we need to get out of here...."


(Okies! I'll post more when I get home today!)

The Living Forest

"......Alright, what just happened....." Sam rubbed his eyes, and awoke. "Jeez, I feel like I've been hit by a truck...One moment I'm asleep, the next, BAM, I'm in a forest...." Sam looked for other people, and saw two hedgehogs bickering.

"Aw c'mon Shadow, you know I won that, c'mon, just admit it." Sonic said. "It was by THIS CLOSE, it was a tie!" Shadow said, putting his gloved fingers together. "No it wasn't, admit i-" "....Bickering AGAIN, you two...." Sam said, walking up to the hedgehogs. "......Well, well, good to see ya again. No need for introduction, althou-" "Wait. I hear something."

Sama blinked. "Yeah... that's a Chaos Emerald. But, it's pretty strange and paranormal." He added.

"... Excellent! I've made a discovery!" Haruhi was surely pleased with herself. "There's more where this came from; come on Brigade!"

Vash tilted his head. "She's kind of bossy."

Sama put his hands behind his neck. "No kidding. But she's cute. That's reason enough for me to listen."

"Well then.....Our choice of options.... 1.Hit, run, and nick the emerald. 2.Ask for the emerald politely, and if they refuse, attack, 3. Attack them atright out, or 4.Get the emerald like the speedsters we are!" Sam said, looking at the emerald.

(Yay, new RP!)

Aries Volcano

Kimi sighed a loud, earth-shaking sigh. "Jimi! MAN, and I thought the heat was gonna drive me insane! Just want are YOU doing here?"

Suki didn't say anything-- she was just so surprised that so many people could fly!

When Kimi saw Amelie, she waved a small wave. "Oh, you. I didn't see you there."

Snow Fields

Yoko stopped walking and turned to her right, holding her ear out. "Hey! I know that hyper-active scream!"

She ran in the direction of Kamina's scream, enraging Lum. "HEY! We gotta find dah-ling!"

Starfire, averting Lum's eyes, flew after Yoko.

Aries Volcano

Asuka had traveled quite a distance as she ran. Having left quite a trail of destruction behind her, it wouldn't have been too hard to find her had Dani lost sight of her. Whatever the case, Dani was right behind.

Asuka got on her knees, and replied to Dani, "I'm sorry. I don't have any control over my fear of men. Even being close to one sends me into an uncontrollable fit of fear."

--

Amelie mumbled to herself, "Wipe the floor with me? Not with custard on your side and flan on mine..."

Amelie then responded to Kimi, "Heh, ya. You haven't run into anyone else from Teh City yet, have ya?"

((Hmmm... it's gonna be hard to post for the next few days, since I'm extremely busy, so try not to set my characters on fire or shoot them out of a cannon or anything. ^_^;))

The Living Forest

"So let me get this straight....We're stuck....In the middle of the forest?"\

"Yep"

"And we don't know how we got here?"

"Sounds about right?"

"And you aren't worried?"

"So not the drama, i've been in tougher 'sitches before, we just gotta call Wade"

Two girls sat nearby, both making short converstation towards eachother. One had dark brown hair,dark skin, and a pair of loose hair loopies. The other was a red head (more orange though) and had a purple outfit made for dealing with "sitches" all around the world. The two girls, Katara and Kim Possible had just appeared in the forest in a flash of light. But they were not alone, another girl, Aelita Stones, was standing nearby, twirling a strand of hair around her finger. She did not speak, no she was way too worried....The Lyoko warrior decided to just stay quiet and watch as the other girl pull out some sort of communication device and attempt to call out on it....


Nothing happened.....



This wasn't good.

Snow Fields

Kamina was now standing on top of the defeated Yeti, still beaming about the victory. He wasn't the humblest man in the universe -- quite the contrary, in fact. He was looking up at the skies above them, his mind clouded with thoughts. Many thoughts. That same burning drive and determination was smoldering in his eyes, as was something else.

Sokka, meanwhile, was rubbing his head on the sore spot where he had been beaned by the odd-rock earlier. He hadn't noticed that the 'rock' was anything more than just a rock, so he didn't even think to ask Aang about it. Instead, he pressed some snow to his forehead.

The Living Forest

A quick search of the shrubs and bushes nearby (done entirely by Vash and Sama, under Haruhi's orders) had turned up nothing else unusual. There didn't appear to be any more large, shiny stones.

Apparently annoyed by this, Suzumiya had decided to move out -- and had ran off in the direction of the Fallen Castle, and Jusenkyo Springs. Vash had shrugged and followed her, while Sama was walking a bit slower.

He could sense something... no, someone; nearby. And it wasn't the same feeling he'd gotten earlier. Now, as he walked, he held a small, silver cylinder in his hand.

Snow Fields

"Kamina!" Yoko shouted, tapping her foot. "What the hell are you doing?!"

Starfire floated over to Sokka, her eyes on the Yeti. "What happened here? What is that creature?"

"It's not any kind of creature I'VE ever seen." Lum added. And she's seen a TON of weird things!

Snow Fields

Kamina had been standing still for a long time, still striking his (overly)-dramatic pose. Apparently, he had also become completely lost in thought because when Yoko's voice reached him, he stumbled and almost fell off the Yeti.

He did not fall, though, and instead jumped onto the Yeti's head. "Wha...? Oh, Yoko!" Kamina paused, as if he was very surprised to see her here. Then he gave one of his grins.

"I'm defeating Beastmen! These are bigger and uglier than usual -- but they met their match when they attacked me!"

Musashi, who was standing not far away, was tempted to point out that it had been Kamina who was the aggressor in this situation, and that the entire group had fought the Yeti together -- however, he bit his tongue and said nothing, as he did not know the new people, or the new-new people who had shown up.

Snow Fields

"That's not a Beastman, you moron!" Yoko shouted. "Beastmen ride Gammen, so unless you're hiding a giant robot somewhere, this is NOT a Beastman! I'm sure you were just making trouble again!"

The Living Forest

"Suzumiya-san!" A cheery girl's voice called from behind Haruhi's group. After moving a few branches out of her way, Asakura revealed herself to her classmate. "My, it's so strange to run into you here!"

Haruhi probably wouldn't recognize the president of her class, but Asakura didn't really care. As long as she could observe Haruhi in this new world, her mission could continue.

"Wow, I had no idea there were so many people here!" Ty Lee added, following after Asakura. The strange circus girl was walking on her hands, and therefore waved with her foot. "Hi!"

"Gah!" A third girl grunted, nearly tripping as she moved through the shrubs in the forest. "I hate nature!" Jenny screamed, brushing herself off. "I hate it, I hate it, I HATE IT! And what are YOU two doing?! We are SUPPOSED to be--!"

Jenny stopped shouting when she realized that Haruhi had found a Chaos Emerald. Now smiling, Jenny said, "Oh, hello! I didn't see you all there. What a lovely day we're having!"

Snow Fields

Kamina looked from Yoko, to the defeated Yeti, and then back to Yoko.

"Hey! It's big, furry and ugly. What else could it be if it isn't a Beastmen?" Kamina crossed his arms. "Maybe this guy is so big he couldn't fit in a Gammen."

Kamina was stubborn enough that he'd believe that -- at least for now. Although, upon Yoko's mentioning of Gammen, it brought two questions to his mind -- though he only asked one of them.

"... Hey. Simon isn't with you, is he?"

The Living Forest

Haruhi's running off had been cut short when Asakura arrived. Being the type of person who didn't pay attention to people who didn't interest her, Haruhi did not even realize she knew Asakura.

Around the same time Ty Lee and Jenny showed up, Vash and Sama caught up with Haruhi.

"Oh, hello!" Vash said merrily, waving like a big goofy fool.

Sama wondered briefly if these girls were the source of his recent Flan premonitions -- but he ruled that out quickly.

"Welcome to the jungle! ... Forest." Sama sweat dropped. Not his finest joke.

Cloudtops

Blaze, Knucx, and Michelle were trying to find a way off the mountain.

Unfortunatly, they were always getting close calls with the....often striking lightning.

"Dang, Michelle! How is it that you can stand this?" Blaze asked.

"Duuuh! Lightning powers! I'm immuned to this." she explained.

Knuckles almost got electricuted. "Gyahh! I don't believe this. This mountain is practicly suicide!" he yelled.

"Calm down, Knucx. You'll be fine." said Blaze.

The echid-hog rubbed her chin. "Hey, did you know that men are 4 times more likely to get struck by lightning than women?"

Knuckles got struck by lightning. The cat and the echid-hog looked at him.

He sat up, a sign that he was OK. He coughed up smoke, "WOW, that's HOT." he exclaimed as he fell back over.

Blaze and Michelle looked at eachother. "Should we help him?" Michelle asked.

Blaze nodded, and they both carried him down the mountain.

".......Let's do neither. Just get to know them, then, lord knows, maybe we'll get the emerald." Sam appeared out of bushes, Sonic and Shadow following. "Yo." Sam closed his eyes, walking toward the groups. "Where are ya heading?" Sam said, eyeing the Chaos Emerald.

The Living Forest

Sama paused as the three Hedgehogs appeared from the bushes. His hand was still holding the inactive flansaber, but he made no move to be hostile.

"Dunno." Sama replied casually. "Just got here and --"

Haruhi ran past him, almost knocking the sidekick over. She stood directly in front of Sam and glared with her golden eyes.

"What are you?" She demanded. "An alien? A genetic experiment from some secret organization? A demon from hell?"

Sama slapped his forehead. 'This girl is a handful.'

-Mercury Island-

Poseidon was looking much worse for wear, the water he was supporting himself on getting lower.

Psnyergy glowing around him, he focused, and began to heal himself.

"Heh..." one of the black coated figures said, suddenly running forward, glowing red blades appearing in his hands, jumping upwards.

More red blades appeared in the air around Poseidon, and then flew inwards in an explosion of steam.

All these powerful attacks took it's toll, and Poseidon disappeared in a flash of steam, the Ring of Water falling from the sky.

Alex leapt upwards, grabbing the Ring and landing.

"My name is Alex...Here..." he tossed the Ring of Water towards Azula, "I have no need for this toy. My power lies elsewhere..."

The cloaked figure who moved earlier looked towards Alex, who nodded, the two joining the third companion, who had not moved, and seemed to be holding an odd stick tightly in his right hand.

The three conversed amongst each other, but Alex held up his hands to silence them. "We need to disappear..."

Alex rippled, and disappeared into the shadows of the ruins. The other two did likewise.

From the skies suddenly came a swirl of dark energy, the Yellow Eyed Demon, Azazel appeared, smiling at Azula, Shego, and Harley.

"Hello," he said, stepping forward, "You are Azula, are you not?"

Not waiting for an affirmative, he stepped forward, holding up a golden ring. Darkness and power exuded from it.

"My name is Azazel, the Yellow Eyed Demon, one of the three who intended to create new Worlds to rule. We are very interested in you. We are looking for a select few individuals to aid us. You are one of these select few."

A flash of green fire, and one more person arrived. Chase Young, the top Dark General appeared with a grin, also wearing one of these powerful rings.

"This is our top Dark General, Chase Young," Azazel said, introducing the dark haired man, "We have two others, and we would like you to be the fourth.

"We can already see you have the Ring of Water, an excellent start. As you may already know, we are searching for the other Rings, and for seven certain individuals. You help deliver these to us, and you become the supreme ruler of your own World.

"Of course, you are allowed to keep what you find for now, including the Ring of Water. Just use it's power when you come across the Unknown Tower...And when you find one of the seven Princesses of Heart, you can not kill them. If you capture one, you should be able to contact us with your Ring, and I will be by to take her.

"As of now, we only know the identity of one Princess of Heart. Her name is Kairi," Azazel held up his hand, a swirling portal of darkness showed her, still sitting on the back of Appa in the Snow Fields. "I would get her myself, but...certain Rules prevent me from doing so, and our other Dark Generals are busy trying to find the locations to the Rings. Your job will be to find her and the others. Your Ring should react when you are near one."

With a grin, he held out the Dark Ring to Azula, "So, the question is, do you accept our offer of power?"

-Snow Fields-

"Thanks!" Sora said, his Keyblade disappearing in a flash of light, "You were pretty cool yourself."

"These are just monsters..." Isaac said, walking forward, sheathing his Sol Sword, "I've come across things like this before on a regular basis."

He glanced at Starfire and Lum with a frown, seeing them float, and their odd appearance. He didn't see any Psynergy coming from them, so he assumed they weren't Adepts.

"So!" Kairi said, hopping off from Appa, "My name is Kairi, this is Sora, Isaac, and Aang."

Appa let out a small grunt, "Oh, and this is Appa!"

Aang pulled out the odd rock, holding it out to Sokka, "Hey Sokka, what do you make of this? It has a picture of some sort of animal on it, like a boar or something."

In Aang's hands was the Pig Talisman...

-Jusenkyo-

It had been a bit of a walk, but Spork, Sylar, and Grodd were looking over the springs.

"We need to be careful here..." Spork said, "These are cursed springs..."

-Aries Volcano-

Dani sighed, sitting down next to Asuka.

"Hey...Jimi's not...well, he's not evil like that," she said, "He does kinda work for an evil genius, but he's a good guy...I mean, he's very protective of his brother. Won't stand to see anything bad happen to him."

____

Jimi scowled again at Amelia, deciding not to point out the fact he was a super powered clone and she was just a Flan-I in training.

"I think The Professor and brother are here...I can kinda feel them, somewhere..." Jimi sighed.

Snow Fields

Realizing Simon hadn't even crossed her mind since she'd arrived there, Yoko shook her head. "No! He isn't. I haven't seen him since we were all separated. I thought he might be with you!"

"All three of us arrived to this strange place together." Starfire added. "We have never met before, and you are the first person any of us has recognized.

Lum floated over to Musashi, holding a photograph of her and Ataru-- though, in the this picture, Ataru was staring at another girl as Lum clung to his arm. She pointed to Ataru in the picture and asked "Have you seen him around?"

Aries Volcano

"Then why don't you go find him and leave us alone?" Super Kimi yawned. "I don't know how I always end up around you, of all people."

Abandoned City - Streets

The "Abandoned City" was not quite as abandoned as it's name might lead one to believe... Running down the streets was a blonde haired girl in white, being chased by dozens of people. Looking closer at those people, though, revealed that they weren't exactly "people" anymore, but appeared more like undead zombies...

The white princess continued running, until she ended up at a dead-end alleyway. The girl then stopped, and turned towards her pursuers. They were now lining up to attack.

At that moment, however, the girl in white's eyes changed color, from red, to a glowing gold...

...

Abandoned City - River
-haired girl stood (this one with green eyes, however), skipping stones into the river.

"Geez... Where could that guy have gone?" she said to herself. She didn't really want to search that abandoned city behind her, and the fiery mountains in front of her also didn't seem all that great of a place to head off to, either. At least for right now, she was going to stay right here, and hope that person she followed into the portal might actually return...

Restaurant (Black Cat universe)

"Hey!! Get back here!!" yelled a waiter holding a not-yet paid bill for a meal, as a balding fat man dashed as quick as he could out of the restaurant.

"Ahh! Perfect! A fat eat-and-runner! That'll be some easy money, so we could pick up some bottles of milk later!" yelled a younger man, in a white shirt and a blue jacket, with "XIII" tattooed on his chest.

"..." A young blonde girl with purple eyes sat next to him, staring at him, before she finally spoke. "...I'll catch him first," she calmly said, standing up from the table.

"Umm, okay..." then said the young man, somewhat surprised at the sudden challenge. Though he couldn't just let the little princess beat him yet. "Good luck trying!" the man then said, with a smirk on his face.

With that, both dashed off after the fat eat-and-runner... Neglecting to pay their own bill...

But just as the blonde girl edged ahead of the young man in the streets outside the restaurant, she started hearing voices in her head, and a portal appeared in front of her. She stopped quickly, but the young man ran into her suddenly-not-moving foot, tripping straight into the portal.

"Train!!" she yelled, looking at the portal. With Sven away secretly training himself, Eve normally wouldn't have entered the portal at all, until Sven was around and OKed it or not. But with Train having fallen into it, she had to go find him. So, she stepped in the portal...

Abandoned City - River

As Eve stepped out of the other side of the portal, she noticed that she certainly wasn't anywhere she knew of. In fact, the locale looked almost like it was from one of the books she had read... The big thing she noticed, however, was that Train wasn't here. In fact, the only person she saw, was a blonde haired girl, older than herself, skipping stones into the nearby river. So Eve decided to approach this girl, in order to find out about where she possibly had ended up.

Snow Fields

The sounds of a high-revving engine began to be heard in the distance, and the sight of snow being thrown up almost like a dust cloud could also possibly be seen in the distance.

Abandoned City - Streets

The girl in white stood in the now-empty alley, eyes having returned to their normal white color. "Nights were a lot more fun when Shiki was around..." the girl pouted, before continuing on her way towards the edge of the city.

((whee... Black Cat character intro almost directly ripped from SW3 :LOL: ; also, I'm not actually saying it's night time, with the last Arcueid bit, just that it seems like night there, due to the lack of light mentioned in the location-description {and Arc hasn't been out of that abandoned city, yet} ))

Mercury Island

Azula watched for a moment as the events unfolded. Poseidon went down, she obtained the Ring of Water, and then the mysterious yellow-eyed demon appeared. There was a lot of fancy talk, promises of total control of her world, and a ring of intense power.

On the one hand, Azula hated the idea of working for others. Fire Lord Ozai was one thing, but a stranger was another. Still... intense power was one of those things that always made Azula interested.

"Alright. You've got a deal." She smirked, taking the Dark Ring and affirming her place as a Dark General.

She slipped the Dark Ring on her right hand, and the Ring of Water on her left. Meaning that now Azula had power over water -- and a ring of intense darkness that amplified all of her powers.

Snow Fields

Musashi smirked, having found yet another skilled swordsman... of a sort. Sora had skills, but his sword was pretty strange. The mismatched eyed teen crossed his arms and yawned.

A second later, Lum arrived with a photograph. Musashi looked at it, but shook his head. "Sorry... I don't recognize him." He paused. "But, I'm sure he's fine."

Musashi assumed that the boy in the photo was important to the strange, floating alien girl. He might as well reassure her.

Sokka, meanwhile, took the Pig Talisman and looked at it, holding it up to the light. "Nooo idea. Looks like a rock with a drawing on it. Maybe you could do some Avatar Spirit-y thing and figure out what it is." Sokka blinked.

Kamina closed his eyes and crossed his arms again. He wasn't happy to hear Simon wasn't with her, but that was alright for now.

"Alright... We'll, find him them!" Kamina struck one of his heroic poses. "Oi! All you guys, pay attention! We don't know what this place is, but we're all here. For now, we might as well stay together. There could be more Beastmen around. Don't worry, Team Gurren can protect the weak!"

Abandoned city

Deep in the confides within an unstable building, three figures stood.

"Wha-what happened?" One asked. He was dressed in a white sheet, and wore only a bow tie and party hat.

"I'm unsure. Perhaps we're here for a reason" The second replied. He looked simular to the first, only he was garbed in a blue sheet.

"I don't think we're in Creepy Steeple anymore." The third moaned. He was huge, and obviously muscular.

"Well, Lee, this better not be one of your machines' doing. I'm missing Doctor Who." The first spoke.

"Doopliss, shutup! I don't think we're alone..." The one called Lee shouted.

"Tubba Blubba....hungry...." The big one moaned.

"That's not a suprise." Doopliss replied.

"Hey guys, I was right! Look!" Lee shouted.

The two joined him at the window, and saw creepy people marching down the street.

"Wait...what is that one carrying?" Dooplis asked.

"Looks like a...diamond shaped object. If my research is right, it's a very powerful chaos emerald. It's the cyan one." Lee replied.

"Hmm...Mario took my last energy source...perhaps I can harness the energy from that one. Okay guys, hold tight! I'm takin' that emerald." Doopliss cried.

He crashed through the window and landed to the ground.

"Alright slick, we can do this the easy way, or hard way." Doopliss laughed.

Mercury Island

"Hmmm, where are we?" Vector questioned.

"We were packing thing into the office, when a bright light shined." Espio said.

"Guys, check this out!" Charmy cried.

He held a poster up that said "Help Wanted."

"The meeting place is only a block away! Let's go!" Charmy said excidetly.

Team Chaotix aimlessly walked down the road. They had been hired by someone. Unsure who, they just made their way to the meeting place. When they made it there, they sat down.

"Hey Vector, what are we getting paid?" Charmy asked.

"I dunno. I read the client will pay us a fortune though." Vector replied.

Espio was staring to the distance. "Hey, guys, what's that?"

Vector replied "Hmmmmm...go take a look."

Espio became invisible and walked toward the water. There he saw a girl, smirking.

Snow Fields

"WOOOOO-HOOOOOOOO!!!"

As Kamina stood in one of his heroic poses, a weird pinkinsh purple sportscar flew directly over the top of his head, before landing and sliding to a stop in the snow. The car's driver then flipped out of the car in triumph.

"Fourty-seven minutes and thirty-two seconds," the orange (and white) haired man started, as a tear rolled down his cheek from behind his sunglasses/visor, "Once again I've shortened the world!"

Meanwhile, the vehicle's completely-black-haired passenger collapsed onto the ground outside of her side's door, eyes spiralling from dizziness.

((There is a method to my madness!!! XD ))

(Hoo boy...I'm so far behind on this RP...)

Snow Fields

Vidit approahed the rapidly-growing group that had just defeated the Yeti.

"Uhh..." he said, then shouted. "Hello!" he said.

He had gotten their attention.

Snow Fields

As a sports car sped just inches over his head, Kamina's heart started pumping. He was getting excited again -- and that usually meant some kind of craziness was about to begin.

After Cougar and Lenalee landed, Kamina jumped onto the hood of the car, looking the other sunglass-wearing man in the eyes. ... Sort of.

"Heeeey! That wasn't bad. Just what do you call this thing?" Kamina slapped the hood of the car with his sword; though he was completely unaware to the idea that any of his actions might be somewhat disrespectful to the car's owner.


Meanwhile, the arrival of Vidit had caught Musashi's attention, and he waved to the newcomer. "The party's over here, I guess..."

Mercury Island

Azula paused suddenly, although it would be hard to notice. She acted as non-nonchalantly as she could; placing her hands behind her head she leaned back, as if yawning. In reality, she was looking around.

Of course, she could not see Espio, who was using his natural chameleon-ism to be invisible. However, the Dark Ring on her finger had amplified her powers quite a bit -- and she could now sense the presence of the newcomer.
