The Merged World: Project Collision

The crossbow hit Natsuki in the back, causing her to turn around quickly.
"Hey! What's th- oh. Oh."
She picked up the crossbow and slowly rotated it in her hands, inspecting it.
"...this could work!"

Goro's outfit immediately goes up in blue flames, being replaced with his black mask outfit. He quietly mumbles something as he draws a red sword from out of next to nowhere. "Well this certainly doesn't look good for Maruki. Let's go handle those pieces of scum," Goro has turned to Akira, and it's almost like his entire demeanor has shifted. He's resonating with a whole new power that was previously hidden away.

Akira sighs as his own outfit shifts. Of course the Metaverse had to be merged. Well, at least they don't have to rely on Sojiro alone. He grabs the school bag on the counter, grabbing two things and putting them in his coat pocket.

Carefully taking off the apron still hanging around him, he mutters to Sojiro in Japanese that he'll try to explain later, but that Futaba should probably have answers right now.

In the midst of everything, Ash was just, well, probably nearby to whoever was at that train.

"I'd be surprised if they didn't," Futaba mutters, even her own outfit having changed. She doesn't appear to be armed, though.


"Futaba's definitely right. I'd be surprised if the first thing they didn't attack us immediately," Goro turns back to Sojiro, still holding his sword.

The troopers stop at the door of the café. The begin discussing with each other, analyzing the situation going on inside the café, before charging in, blasters raised and ready to shoot.

"Hey, well, you may have a point about me being haunted." Puppet said to Teddie and Aigis. "But the reason why is quite tragic, I am possessed by a murdered spirit, out for revenge against a really bad man."

Xehanort was waiting for Ansem, patiently.

The Tusk frowned. "Big monster."

A whistle was heard. "Tusk! Where are you?" Another voice spoke up.

"Over here!" A third voice called out. "I found her!"

The Twilight Knight and the Duchess emerged from the same area as the Tusk did.

"Quiet, citizen." One of the troopers says to Sojiro, probably not understanding what he said because basic is not Japanese... if Sojiro is still speaking Japanese, that is. 

"Put your weapon down and we won't shoot." Another trooper says to Akechi.

A corridor of darkness appears near Xehanort, and Ansem, still wearing a black coat but not the hood, walks over to him.

Another creature has appeared, stumbling toward Penny, making a few guttural noises.

-

"I see you've been busy." Xehanort turns toward his Heartless, as Xemnas appears from another corridor.

As for where I left Ben off, oh yeah, he's still near April.

"Those mutants you mentioned, they sound like they'd be good allies." Ben responded to April.

"Yeah, they are. Though, there are a lot that aren't exactly the nicest crowd." April nodded, trying to spot anyone else nearby.

Penny sighed heavily as she got to her feet, glaring in the direction of the new arrival.
"More of you?"

"I have, yes." Ansem replies.

Before it could get close enough to even attack her, a large axe cleaved through the creature, causing it to dissolve.  A woman with silver-grey hair stood behind the creature, panting.

-

"Do you mind explaining what you have done?" Xehanort raised an eyebrow.

Ben had also been trying, at this point, to see if anyone else was nearby to him and April.

"I'm assuming that your friends probably deal with all the less friendly ones, then." Was his reply.

"Yeah, but I can handle myself." April shrugged, twirling the the baseball bat around...how long has she been holding that?

"I have many friends too, human and alien. Even for my biggest achievements, for saving the universe, I couldn't have done it without them. Also, that's a nice baseball bat there."

The trooper that spoke to Sojiro looks at him before turning to one of his squadmates. "Do you have a translator? I have no idea what that citizen is saying."

The only response he got was a headshake.

"I only helped bring the worlds together for the darkness to spread. Besides, having an alliance with people with technology to bring worlds together might be beneficial. Are you not happy with the current situation?"

(I'm sorry if I'm going out of character with Ansem. I'm trying my best to remain in character.)

(Nah, you're doing fine, at this point, the three main selves of Xehanort seem perfectly in character)
