Chapter 1: Heroes Come Back

"Son Goku! Uzumaki Naruto! Sora! Kurosaki Ichigo! Monkey D. Luffy!", the Spectator announces, "Welcome! To the Battle of Heroes!"

Wind blows around the group as an awkward silence is made. The protagonists just stare at the random stranger who appeared out of nowhere.

"Um… What?...", Naruto tilts his head.

"Yes. As this event's title says it, I've brought you all here to test your skills! You will be here to see who is the strongest is!", the Spectator gallantly poses.

Goku starts to get pumped, "Really?! This sounds fun!"

"Wait!", Ichigo points his sword at the Spectator, "How did we get here?! And who are you exactly?!"

"Of course, my apologies.", the man bows, "You can call me the Spectator. And I'm giving you the chance to engage in this contest of power."

The Spectator starts to float in the air, "Well, since introductions are made, I'll be off. Enjoy yourselves!"

"OI! Wait!", Ichigo leaps into the air and prepares an attack.

As Ichigo strikes the Spectator, he notices that the mystery man was being protected by some energy barrier.

"Impatient and stubborn…", the Spectator readies his bent middle finger to Ichigo's forehead, "You should use that in battle."

With a grin, the Spectator's flick sends Ichigo plummeting to the ground. With that, the Spectator fades away in the air.

"Erk! That bas- Ow!" Ichigo holds his head while trying to get out of a small crater.

Sora rushes in, "Hold on, I've got you. Heal!"

Ichigo suddenly finds a green light around him, he then found his injuries fully healed.

"Wow. How'd you do that? Is that your zanpakuto's power?", Ichigo points at Sora's weapon.

"Hm? Zanpakwhat?", Sora lifts his weapon, "Oh this? This is the Keyblade."

"Um… Right.", Ichigo just blinks at the strange item.

"So, who's ready to punch?", Goku starts to warm up.

"W-Wait… Do we really have to fight?...", Naruto flinches, "I mean, what's the point?"

"We get to see who's better! Isn't that right, Goku?", Luffy raises his fists.

"Yeah! This time, we'll settle this without evil fishes…", Goku chuckles as he remembers when he met with Luffy and Toriko.

"I still don't know why…", Naruto shakes his head and gives his iconic grin, "But, this sounds pretty fun!"

"Wait… Shouldn't we figure out whe- "

TOOM!

Ichigo is interrupted by the sudden chi attacks and chakra builds.

"Well, if you can't talk to them, join them!", Sora suddenly swings his keyblade at Ichigo.

"Wha- You too?!", Ichigo parries Sora's combos.

Sora holds his ground, "Well? Who could deny a contest! Plus, I'd like to see what your giant sword can do! I know somebody who wields a weapon similar to yours, it'd be good practice for me!"

Ichigo just exclaims, "Hmph. I won't go easy on you kid!"

Sora and Ichigo grin as they share blade strikes.

Goku flies up into the air and charges a blue chi in his palms, "No holding back!".

"KA! ME! HA! ME!..."

"He can fly! And what's he doing!?", Naruto suddenly sees Luffy taking cover by some rocks, "Hey! Straw hat guy, where ar- "

"HAH!"

A surge of energy heads onto the whole area, causing a massive explosion.

As the Spectator watches the battle come into view on his screen, he smiles with quiet anxiety.

"Hm. Well, I guess 'motivation' wasn't needed for these fellows."

The Spectator takes his seat and watches the five fighters duke it out. Behind him, five pods held five women in a sustaining liquid. One of the women twitches as if she was having a bad nightmare.

The Spectator looks behind at the pods, "Orihime, Kairi, Chi-Chi, Hinata, Nami… You may be useful later on. But, until then, you're mine."

Famous heroes from famous worlds fighting to see who will come on top! Not only that, the Spectator has each of their most loved ones captured. What will he do with them? Until the next chapter of Battle of Heroes!...
