Project X-Zone 3
Chapter 1: A new journey
A few months after the defeat of Byaku Shin
Shinra HQ...2012 A.D.
As of late, the organization hidden in the shadows of Japan known only to some as Shinra, hasn't been busy as of late with their current victory over Ouma, bringing a small era of peace to the multiple worlds.
In the current building that now host their Headquarters, a man from a certain ninja clan, that baring the name, Tenzai, arrived at his boss' office.
"Kogoro Tenzai, reporting for duty, Captain Arisu." The ninja said as his boss, and once fellow ally, Reiji Arisu, turned from the window he has been staring out of for the last few moments.
"It's been awhile, Kogoro, just relax with captain title, alright?" Reiji asked his ally while sraching his head through his black and white hair.
"Yeah, it's still weird to call you captain after what happened before, Reiji." Kogoro thought aloud much to his own humor before questioning his commander about the captain's partner. "Wait, where Xiaomu?"
"Well, she's..."
"REIJI, I GOT HER!" Xiaomu cheerfully exclaimed while dragging a young woman with red hair and a fiery attitude aside her.
"XIAOMU!? THE HELL ARE..."
"Mii? What are you doing here?" Kogoro asked before the young cheerleader noticed the two men.
"eh...Reiji, Kogoro, it been awhile, wait, is this why Xiaomu brought me here from school!?" The heirness of the Koryuji Holdings asked in a happy tone.
"Xiaomu...did you really kidnap her from school in board daylight?" The captain questioned much to the shock of the fox girl.
"Crap...sorry, but with this crazy stuff going on, I didn't think it was a big deal, also, I've called the house to tell them what's going on and they're cool with it, I think."
This peaked the duo's interest. "Wait, what is going on, another threat to the worlds?" The ninja asked before his student could asked the very same question.
"Afraid so, between my Xiaomu sense and the cases of people disappearing, we decided to regroup and figure out why these things are happening." Xiaomu explained in a somewhat serious expression, much to her friends surprise.
"Um...that was right to the point...anyway, we are planning to leave out in a hour. Would you join us once more, Mii?" Reiji asked their old ally.
"...of course, it's been kinda boring without the craziness from a year ago." Mii cheered reminding the three of the first time she and Kogoro joined forces with the Shinra Organization.
Meanwhile on another earth in the year 2200 A.D.
Location: Kagutsuchi
As if today hasn't been strange enough for Ragna the Bloodedge, between the facts of fighting his brother, Jin, who now goes by the surname, Kisaragi. Then the insanity of that girl, Noel Vermilion, who Rachael believes is the true successor of the Azure. Finally,that monster that caused the chaos that is his life appearing from nowhere and claiming that he'll take the girl and start the end the world. As if this wasn't strange enough, now, something else has appeared in front of him and Noel during their talk on the rooftop.
"What is that?" Noel asked with both sensing strange power from it. Ragna stayed calm but at the same time thought the same thing.
"I don't know, but we shouldn't...
"BROTHER! LET ME KILL YOU HERE!" The familar voice of Jin echoed insanely behind the duo.
"Jin, what the...!?" The blood edge screamed before Noel tried to stop her superior and the white haired man from killing each other.
"Major Kisaragi, Please stop this!" The young girl cried out before the blue coat Major charged at them, knocking the three into the portal into places unknown.
At the same time on a small island in another world.
Location: Destiny Island
After the defeat of Xemnas, the trio of Sora, Riku, and Kairi thought everything would return to normal until a strange portal appeared in front of the three.
"What?" Sora asked as he and his friends stared at the strange hole.
"It kind of reminds me of the dark portal that Namine and I escaped from, but different somehow." The red head girl thought aloud before the portal glow white.
"Guys, I think something happening, get back!" Riku commanded as he ran in front of the duo, to protect them.
However, the portal caused the trio to be sucked in to another world, this time against their wills.
Japan, current time.
Location: The store of Junes in the town of Inaba.
"Hey, Yu, what's up?" The brown haired Yosuke Hanamura asked his partner as the grey haired teen stared at a strange portal before his friends noticed it.
"A hole, wait, are we the only ones noticing this?" Yukiko Amagi asked after realizing that none of the other citizens could see the portal.
"Is this another problem in the TV world?" The mascot bear named Teddie asked.
"I wish we knew, Ted. Maybe we should call Aigis's group." Chie Satonaka, the young martial arts loving tomboy in green, thought aloud, before she and Yukiko tripped on something and fell into the portal.
"Chie, Yukiko!" Yu screamed as he, Teddie, and Yosuke attempt to grabbed the falling girls, only for the trio to fall in as well. As the five fell, all that remained was Chie's cell phone, with the leader of the Kirijo Group answering the phone.
Kirijo Group Headquaters...
"Satonaka?" The red haired woman known as Mitsuru cried out before her long time friend, the android, Aigis, arrived in the meeting room.
"Mitsuru is something wrong?" The female like android asked before another female arrived.
"It's been far too long, Miss Kirijo." The blonde haired woman, known to the world as Helena Douglas, greeted her ally.
"Hmm? Sorry for the interruption, Ms. Douglas." The red head apologized to her slightly older friend before Mitsuru hung up on Chie's phone call, believing that there was interference to the call.
"I just have a bad feeling that something strange will or in this case, is happening." Helena explained much to the concern of the three females a the trio stayed quiet until the other half of the New DOATEC group, Zack arrived.
"Hey, some weird stuff is going on out there!" The African American yelled as he and the young runaway ninja, Kasumi, stepped from the double doors that lead into the meeting room.
"What do you mean?" Aigis asked before she opened the blinds revealing a massive black hole in the sky.
"...Oh...crap..." Zack thought aloud before the leader of the Kirijo group attempt to call Chie back.
"...This can't be...Looks like whatever's going on, it affecting everywhere." She thought aloud as her cellphone went directly to voice mail.
"Miss Kirijo and Helena, I feel that we should investigate these current occurances." Kasumi voiced her concern.
"...You're right. Aigis, can you get a hold of Akihiko, Yukari, or Ken?"
"I'll try..." The blonde android explained as she attempt to call the phones of the other Shadow Operatives.
While she attempt to rally the others, Zack noticed something big appearing outside the window of the building. "The hell is that thing?!" He cried out as the giant creature of darkness stared it's yellow eyes into the building.
"Is that the shadows you speak of?" Helena referencing the fact that Mitsuru's group was meddling with forces outside of their control.
"No. It's something else."
Shinbuya...current time
As the four Shinra agents arrived at the condemn section of Tokyo, they noticed a giant portal in the sky.
"What is that?!" Mii cried out as she pointed at the said hole.
"A portal? is this Ouma's doing?" Reiji questioned in his mind before noticing a gaint monster of darkness attacking the building belonging to the Kirijo Group.
"Hey, guys, that's.." Xiaomu began to express her concern before noticing five people running out of the building.
"Aigis, with me! Helena and Zack will you be able to fight?" Mitsuru asked her allies before the five were surrounded smaller shadow creatures with antennas.
"Demons? No something else?" Kasumi questioned as she attack one with a small blade, causing it to vanished.
"I have a feeling we might want to help these five, especially that the leaders of both Kirijo Group and DOATEC are being attacked." Kogoro explained to Reiji as they ran into the battle.
"Hang on!" The cheerleader yelled as she and Kogoro helped Kasumi out, while Reiji and Xiaomu assisted the others.
"A Tenzai ninja, why are you here?" The young female ninja asked the other ninja, much to the surprise of Kogoro.
"Yes, how do you known of my clan?"
"I was from the Mugen Tenshi Clan, I am Hayate's younger sister." She explained as she and Mii teamed up attacking the Shadows before the group of nine became overrun by their strange enemies.
A mile away from the current battle..
Sora awaken beside Riku on a street. "Huh...we are we? Wait, where's Kairi?" The brown haired teen asked before his friend with white hair rose from the ground.
"...Sora? What happened?" The older teen asked before the duo noticed a girl in blue with blonde haired falling onto Riku.
"Ouch..." She muttered as she slowly got off the white haired teen and noticed her surroundings. "Ragna? Major Kisaragi? Where are they?"
"Umm...Miss?" Riku asked as he once again attempt to rise off of the pavement.
"AH!" She screamed as she accidentally summoned her weapons, two guns, and attempt to shoot at the white haired teen.
"Hey, we not the bad guys!" Sora screamed as he attempt to calmed the young woman down.
"Oh, I'm sorry it's just that weird things been happening to me as of late." She apolgized.
"It's alright. Anyway, who are you and do you know where we are?" Riku asked the girl.
"I'm Lt. Noel Vermilion of the NOL and for our current location, I'm am not sure."
"Nice to meet you, Noel, My name is Sora, and this guy is my friend, Riku."
Suddenly the trio noticed the monster sized heartless, attacking a building.
"What is that monster?" Noel cried out in surprise before Sora and Riku summoned their weapons, the Kingdom Key and The Way to Dawn.
"A dark side heartless, here!?" The white haired teen thought aloud before the three noticed nine other people being attacked by the smaller heartless known as Shadows.
"We got to help them, they won't last much longer!" Sora commanded as they ran towards the would be victims.
Mii opened her eyes and noticed three teens fighting off the dark creatures.
"You guys ok?" The brown haired teen asked as he, the white haired male, and the blonde girl in blue defeated the small foes.
"Y-yeah...Wait, how's everyone else?"
"We're alright." Kasumi answered before helping Helena and Zack back to their feet.
"That's good to know however, how are we going to take down the big guy?" Xiaomu asked as she and her partner helped Mitsuru and Aigis with their foes.
"Me and Riku got him, just keep the other heartless off of us!" Sora commanded as he and Riku ran up the skyscraper and jumped off of the building's side and slashed the heartless in it's face, causing it to fall.
"Everyone. Let's preform an all out attack!" The woman with red hair commanded.
"Got it!" Riku answered as he and the others teamed up on the monster, destroying it for good.
After the monsters fade away, the group of twelve each explained their current situation of the portals appearing in each other their worlds and timelines.
"I see...so that means each world has this same problem." Kogoro thought aloud with his arms folded.
"I guess...But this version of earth is a lot different from my own." Noel pondered aloud.
"Wait, if each of us have been transported somewhere else...then, oh no, Kairi must be in trouble!" Sora was shocked as he said this.
"Not just your friend...all worlds are in danger." A heavenly voice explained as a woman in white, with green hair descended from the sky above, along with a teen about Sora's age, wearing Greek robes and short brown hair.
"Whoa, I'm guessing that you're the goddess of harmony that fights against Chaos, am I right?"
Xiaomu rudely questioned, much to the boy's annoyance. "Of course not, this is lady Palutena! You little brat!"
"Who are you callin' little!" The Fox girl screamed attempting to fight the youth until she was stopped by her husband. Not ironically, the boy was scold by the woman.
"Pit, we are not here to fight." She explained while pulling the teen's ear.
"Anyway, what's with these portals that Sora and Riku spoke of?" Zack asked breaking the awkward silence.
"Oh that's right...As everyone here just learn, portals are appearing from thin air and well, in terms I feel rather silly to say...Sucking up people from certain worlds and spitting them out into others." Palutena explained to the group.
"Hmm...I wonder if this is connected to the disappearance of citizens as of late." Kogoro thought to himself before Mii asked.
"Wait, if Xiaomu is half right about you being a goddess, then you should know who is causing this maddess."
However, Palutena could only sigh in grief before speaking. "I am afraid that even I don't know who's started this. That is why Pit and I arrived here. We too, are trying to find the culprit."
"Damn, if this is stumping a so called goddess...Then this is really bad news." Zack thought aloud.
"I agree, That is why I will have Pit join you on your journey." The Goddess explained much to the surprised guardian.
"B-but L-Lady Palutena...!?"
Palutena quickly interrupted the teen. "Now now Pit, this crisis could destroy every world and we did meddle with mortal affairs once before, so you can't use that excuse."
"Alright..." Pit sighed.
With that, Reiji called the group together to plan their next move.
"Alright, we need to figured out what to do next. So, Palutena do you have any ideas?"
"I have a feeling that your next location will have some bad guys appear, so if you go there, you might find a clue."
Kasumi upon hearing this, asked the Shinra agents. "How about your Headquarters? We could check there for some clues."
"Makes sense, let's go guys!" Sora agreed as he ran ahead of the group.
"Might be a good idea to catch him before he gets us in trouble." Mitsuru thought aloud much to Riku's agreement.
"I hate to say it, but he does have a knack to get situations."
"Hey, wait up kid!" Xiaomu screamed as she chased the teen down.
Hey everyone, I am back and this is not a reboot of Project Cross Universe, just my sequel to Project X-Zone 2. Anyway, I decided to take five from the story for a while. Soooo, anyway, please enjoy Project X Zone 3! (P.S. If they announced the game arriving soon, I'll be laughing my head off!)
