"Isn't this a little loud!?"Roy Mustang yelled over the blaring music. "What sir?!"Hawkeye yelled back, though right next to him. "Isn't the music a little loud!?"The Colonel yelled again. "Oh! Yes, I suppose it is sir!"Hawkeye yelled back. A masked man grinned as he walked by. The strobe neon lights shone everywhere in disarray. It was perfect. It was just how he had imagined it would be. Suddenly, the music stopped or at least quieted down enough for the audience to be able to hear who was speaking on stage.

"Hohoho!" "Santa!?"A not very bright Strawhat captain yelled. "It's not Santa stupid!"An irritated mechanic yelled back from somewhere else in the crowd. "Hohoho! Now listen up!"Brooke said from on stage. "Performing today only! The Sonic Waves!" "Who the hell named them that?"Chazz Princeton asked from the crowd, earning a shake of the head and a shrug as a reply from Alexis Rhodes. "Now! Before we officially begin, a word from the host!" The masked man moved to the mic. "Hey everybody," Atticus Rhodes voice began, "thanks for comin to my party! Are you all ready to have a good time!?"

"HELL YEAH!"A very drunk group consisting of Havoc, Garp, Rangiku, and random others slurred. "What happened to the fight?"Roy Mustang asked Pegasus irritated. Pegasus laughed. "My dear boy, relax! Have a drink, or five," He added, "and lighten up! The entertainment is going on all night! You don't look like the type of man to prefer fighting over being surrounded by drinks and women, hm?"Pegasus asked. Roy shook his head. Did everyone know his weaknesses?

The music started up again and people resumed their rowdiness. "So, would that little brat against say...a pirate work?"River asked as he tapped his pen against a piece of paper containing a blank tourney tree. Van Honhenheim tapped his chin. "You mean Edward? Possibly...which pirate would he be against? I'm not too sure how he'd do against the captain..."The father said. Shikamaru sighed and leaned back in his chair.

"It's such a drag trying to make up a bracket for all of these freaks..."He mumbled. "Well let's at least propose a rough draft while everyone's tiring themselves out by partying."Komui whined pouting. "You can party if you want."River told him. "I know, but everyone here seems so dangerous! And inhuman! Just look, Kanda and that other swordsman are having an insane drinking contest!"The planning group looked over to one of the tables that was surrounded by people at the sides. At the table, Zoro, Nami, Sanji, Kanda, Lady Tsunade, and other previous drunks were drinking nonstop.

River sighed. "Let's just try to plan this out before the party's over." The others turned back to their table to continue planning. However, across the dance floor, an irritated, befuddled medic nin was wandering around, trying to find out how exactly the hospital courtyard had turned into, well, a "freaking awesome, party of the century."

Yes! Endorsement! Digital proof!

Hey! This is NOT endorsement! Shouldn't you be surfing?!

Not right now, now's the time to PAARRRTAAYY!

Ahem, sorry about that. I can guess you know who that is, ne? While he runs off to get drunk off Red Bull, let's try to continue the story...

Sakura stomped about the crowded dance floor, trying not to get whiplash from the sporadically fast flashing neon lights and the pulsating bass of music which was so overpowering it could almost not be heard from the dizziness it caused to the listeners.

But...since about half of them were drunk, I don't think they cared.

Sakura stopped wandering as she noticed a familiar spikey blond haired head peek out from the sea of people a little ways away from her. Demanding answers, she stalked over to the village hero and caught his attention.

"Naruto!"Sakura yelled in a 'don't mess with me' voice. Naruto immediately turned to face her and looked a bit afraid. She looked PISSED. "Uh, yeah?"He asked. "What happened here?!"She screeched. "Um, well, one of the other patients, that surfer guy, he wanted to throw a party and-"

"And? AND!? What do you mean, 'AND'?!"Sakura screamed. "This is a hospital! Not a club! People come here to get BETTER!"She roared. Naruto shuddered a bit. Before he could even give another pathetic defense, Sakura punched him clear across the room. "SHANNARO!" Ichigo, who had been standing on the other side of Naruto, Edward, Allen, Yugi, and Luffy stared at Sakura wide eyed. Well, everyone except Luffy, who was interestedly eating a piece of meat and standing aside watching his fellow protagonist get punched clear to the New World like it was Nami explaining the Log Post.

"Well anyways, in Karakura Town there are these things called-"And thus their conversation carried on.

"This party is awesome!"Kiba cheered. "Right Akamaru?"The brunette looked around him. "Akamaru?"He nudged his redheaded companion. "Hey Renji, have you seen Akamaru?" "What, you mean that mutt that's always with you?" "He's not a mutt! I don't really have anything to worry about here, but...Oh! Hey! There he is!" Akamaru came running up to the two freed kitchen slaves happily...with a head in his mouth?

"Huh? Akamaru, what's that in your mouth?!"Kiba asked stunned as Renji reached to grab it. "It looks like someone's head..."The lieutenant said as he reached out. "Ahh! My head!"The two men looked up as they heard loud, metallic stomping coming closer and closer. Their eyes revealed a hurried headless suit of armor who was coming straight for them. "Wha-what?! What is that!?"Kiba exclaimed a bit scared. "How am I sposed ta know! It's coming this way!" "Aren't you acquainted with the dead and paranormal?"Kiba asked Renji. "What's that supposed to mean?! Are you calling me a medium? I'm a shinigami d****t!"Renji retaliated.

The two stopped arguing once they saw that the metallic Dullahan was beside them. Akamaru then took off, not looking too fearful, but happy? "Ah, my head! No, wait!"Alphonse Elric then took off after Akamaru once more. "Huh? It talked?"Kiba asked stunned. "Guess it's alive, somehow.."Renji said, mumbling the last part. "But what's this about a medium?!" "You should be happy, god of death!" "That's it, I'm-"And so, we'll leave them be for a while.

"I'm quite glad that's over with."Sneered Kimblee as he began to sip a beverage he'd been holding. "It was pretty exhausting."Orihime admitted next to him, also referring to their Food Network stunt. "Luckily for us, that brown haired guy got a hold of all the supplies the party needed!"Kimblee nodded and then sighed sadly. "Is something wrong?"Orihime asked. "Oh nothing."Kimblee said in a disheartened voice. "I was just thinking of how though this is music, it compares nothing to the beautiful sound of chaos and bloodshed."Kimblee sighed and closed his eyes, his hands moving about like a conductor's. Orihime stared at him, startled and vaguely wondering why he hadn't ended up in the villains' room.

Passing the two, Nami and Kakuzu were plotting their next caper. "So once the battles start up we can start a gamble for who will win!"Nami exclaimed coyly. Kakuzu nodded. "Yes, and then we can also rig things to our liking if it doesn't work out for us during the match."He added. The two grinned.

Overhearing their plan was the infamous Sasuke Uchiha, who was standing stationary at the snack table. He inwardly shook his head. How stupid. Next to him, he observed Zane Truesdale help himself to some punch. The duelist took a small sip, waited a bit, and then drank more. The two ice kings caught each other's eyes, and without words exchanged, the two of them had a decent conversation. Alexis walked up next to Zane, holding her own plastic cup. "Is it spiked?"She asked Zane. He shook his head. "No."Alexis glanced at Sasuke and then took a drink. "Leave it to my brother to throw some stupid party..."She said shaking her head.

"YEAH! ROYAL FLUSH!"The Hokage drunkenly swayed as she quickly jumped up from her seat. "Lady Tsunade, we're not even playing cards!"Shizune yelled at her, feeling awkward being one of the only sober people at the table. "Heh. She's a wild one, huh?"Captain Kyoraku commented. Rangiku laughed loudly. "Heeeeyyyy, caalm dooownn! She just likes living, ya know?"She defended. "Right Captain?!"She yelled over her shoulder at max volume, though the white haired shinigami was only sitting behind her.

Hitsugaya shook his head, not even looking his subordinate's way. "Disgraceful."He muttered. He continued staring at the table in front of him to keep his focus away from- "Oh come now my boy! How about this?"Another colorful card was placed in front of him, hindering his staring contest with the table. Hitsugaya stared at the card and then slowly looked up. "For the last time...I told you...I'm not into this 'Duel Monsters'!"He hissed at the flamboyant silver haired man in front of him.

Pegasus slid the card back and shuffled it into the deck he held with his right hand. He sighed. "Oh boo, you're no fun."He pouted. "Too much like Kaiba boy."He said. Hitsugaya slouched again and held his left hand to cover his ear so his hearing would be lost from the unnecessarily loud music. 'Hmph. Than whoever this Kaiba is, he's smart.' The Captain thought. His eyes glanced back to a table filled with villains, monitoring their actions.

"That kid's looking over here again."Kabuto quietly noted. "Oh don't mind him."Aizen dismissed. "He's not a problem." "He does however seem to have quite the youthful body..."Observed Orochimaru. "He may not be Uchiha but...Is he a good fighter?"The snake's eyes hovered toward Hitsugaya. "Oh come on!"Marik insisted, "let's just discuss how we're going to kill the Pharaoh! I mean...Take over that fight!"The Millennium Earl laughed eerily.

"Silly boy, quit acting so serious!"He said, finishing his statement dark and gruffly. Marik smirked. Ah, insanity. "My apologies. Now, with the hollows, akuma, monsters, and summons we're going to take down our obstacles, yes?"Aizen asked serenely. Kabuto nodded, grinning. "We'll take them by storm." "Then it's settled. The day of the fight, we'll be prepared."Aizen concluded. Marik laughed insanely. "Then Zorc will RISE! Uh, I mean...then WE will rise!"Kabuto shook his head while Aizen spoke up once more. "Nonsense. No need to have a façade. This Zorc of yours is more than welcome to join."The ex-captain invited with a twisted smile.

"Yes! Finally!" "How troublesome..." "Quiet you two, let's relish the moment."The late joiner, Usopp, instructed Komui and Shikamaru. "Come on, we can be happy about this. We've finally got a bracket set up."River said. "Agreed. It took quite the planning, but this fight should be a big success."Hohenheim remarked.

Oh yes, it took quite the planning indeed! Heh heh...

Hey! I don't even want to talk about my horrible updating skills...Anyways, we've found out a few things this chapter! Let's recap, shall we?

On another note...

!Missing!

Head to a suit of armor! Has a shortened tassel on the head. Was last seen with a giant dog. If found, please return to Alphonse Elric.

Thank you!

Also, here are two random things I thought of as I wrote this:

-Kimblee would make an interesting Deadman

-So tempted to put in a Red Solo cup reference with Zane and Lexi, but I don't even like that song!

Next time! The battle finally begins! But due to certain evil or greedy parties, will our heroes be at a standstill once again? Things to look forward to:

-Roy Mustang v. ? (it's a surprise!)

-Seto Kaiba v. Komui (?) *subject to change

-Alphonse Elric v. ?

-Games getting rigged

-Angry opponents

-Kimblee v. Deidara or Sasori *

And there will be more! Like I said though, that's all subject to change. Soooo sorry about my horrible updating. I know I said on my profile that I wouldn't update in the summer really, but I just sat down and began typing! I felt really bad for you guys...sorry! Also, sorry if I spelt anything wrong, left out words, or used weird English...I wrote this and was so happy I wanted to get it to you guys ASAP!

~Thanks a billion for reading! Review if you want! Now I'm gonna go check out this new show called "Soul Society Psychic" that Kiba recommended to me. Later!~
