The Doctor starts feeling the portal pull him. "As they wish... Geronimo."
The Doctor stops struggling and flies backwards into the portal.

Tick cocked an eyebrow, and slapped the side of Nefarious' head. Suddenly, the portal arrived. The Tick raced to the vortex and bounded through. As sleep caught up with him again, he felt his body reshaping, and growing lighter by the second.

Garland walked into the armoury. He recognized most all of the weapons in there; including the guns, as he had fought Laguna numerous times, although he had never used such things.
Leaving his own weapon by the door, he spent some time going through the weapons he could use - swords, spears, axes, maces, and many more - picking them up, determining their weight distribution, checking their sharpness, and generally taking their measure. Not a single weapon he found was one he would refuse the use of, but of course he preferred his own one.
He had been about to take a closer look at the obviously enchanted stuff near the back when a portal opened near the elevator. He wasn't able to resist the pull, and the wind took him by surprise and he wasn't able to grab his weapon on the way through. Whatever lay on the other side of the portal, he would probably have to face unarmed* . Which meant he would have to use more magic.
Shit.

WHAT HAS SCIENCE WROUGHT
Cletus got sucked through just as he woke up, rolling to the side and drawing his recently retrieved pistol.
"Well shit."
...and that's terrible.
Erio's sleeping form got sucked through one of the tears.
"Yup. That tasted purple."

"Argh!" Chun-li was pulled into the portal as well. "Not again!"

"Of course, Satsuki-sama."
Nanoha opened her eyes.
She blinked once, to adjust to what she was seeing... she felt like she'd had a wonderful night's sleep. But this... this wasn't the room in Gunner's castle, was it? She quickly sat up. Could it have all been a dream? Could she really be back-...
No, this certainly wasn't her room back home... it looked sort of like it, but the furniture was in different spots, and it was just... slightly different. Disappointment was chief in Nanoha's mind.. for a moment she thought she'd finally made it home after all this. Glancing to the side, she noticed that Raising Heart lay on her bedside table, in place as usual. It was rather surreal... this room was like hers back at home, but at te same time it wasn't.
"Um... Hello?" she asked, looking around curiously.
From just outside her door, she heard a voice. A familiar one.
"Nanoha-chan, come on, get dressed, it's the first day of school."
Nanoha stared. Was... was that her brother?
"Oh, dear. The toad, the monkey, and the dog have all screwed up."
"I am the KING of Candyland! No one can surpass me in my glorious deliciousness! Councellor Cletus, fetch me my Taffy Throne of SUPREME TASTINESS!" Tyrell said to Cletus.
Councellor Cletus faithfully fetched Tyrell's throne and said unto the Lord of Lichorice: "Is there anything else you desire, sire?"
"YES! I wan't you to get me a DAAAAAAAAAHHHH! What?" Tyrell said to his loyal advisor in confusion.
"A DAAAAAAAAAHHHH! sire?" Cletus said to him in equal confusion.
"Er, no. What I want is a DAAAAAAAAAHHHH! DAAAAAAAAAHHHH! DAAAAAAAAAHHHH!"
Tyrell was very confused to wake up to the sound of an alarm clock. He'd never had one before and he didn't know what they were. He fumbled around with it for a minute trying to figure out how it worked but he couldn't concentrate when it was making that infernal noise.
"Darn Gunner and her strange machines!"
Since he was feeling oddly grumpy and uncomfortable for some reason he chose to simply smash it to get it to stop. Then he went back to sleep for a time.
"Terrice! You're going to be late for school!" Said a very familiar voice.
"Uh, whah? Dad? How did you get here? Who's Terrice?"
"Don't play dumb with me miss. You can fix the alrm clock later but right now you have to get to school before classes start. You only have have 15 minutes!." Garret said to Tyrell(?); "It's a good thing you fell asleep in your uniform or you would have been late for your very first day of school. Shame on you! How could you disappoint me so?"
"But-"
"NO BUTS!" Gerret said as he psyically picked up Tyrell(?) and carried him out the door and down the stairs; "Your uncle Ivan will drive you there. Don't be late!" He said as he rapidly descended multiple flights of stairs.
What is going on here?! Tyrell thought hysterically as he noticed some very large changes; Where are my nether regions, why do I have extra squishy bits on my chest, why am I not strong enough to get out of my dad's grip anymore, and most importantly WHERE ARE MY PANTS?!
For in addition to the unexplained psyical changes that had taken place Tyrell (Terrice?) was now wearing a blue coat-type thing fastened by three buttons and a blue ribbon over some sort of white shirt. Instead of pants he(?) was wearing long johns of some kind underneath a frilly foldy apron thing that was much too short for his(her?) liking. All of this was complemented by the prettiest red shoes that the Fire Adept had ever seen. None of these things were anything that Tyrell would be caught dead wearing under normal circumstances. Seemed it was normal fare for Terrice though.
What is going on?

The Portal appeared infront of Vile. "Whats this?" Vile touched the portal with his hand before walking in.

Jack did not resist. He could no more refuse these challenges than he could abandon his friends, for that was what a refusal was. He closed his eyes and was taken by the light.

A short distance away, in a house that was considerably more traditional than any of its neighbours but at the same time considerably more dilapidated and with poor access to modern amenities, Byakuren was waking again. Unlike Nanoha, the magician didn't notice anything strange about her situation; the walls and ceiling were intimately familiar to the gradient-haired girl though the stuffed tiger wrapped in her arms didn't mesh with her recollections. Neither did a suspicious lack of weight around her chest...
"My breasts are gone!" the now-lolified girl exclaimed, scrambling out of her futon and taking off the Yukata she was wearing to make sure that she wasn't imagining things and that her chest was now as flat as it looked. Now naked, the girl finally processed that it wasn't just her breasts that were smaller—she, in general, was and her voice was much higher.
"'Yaku-chan?" a male voice questioned, sliding the door open and looking down, "Is something the matte—please get dressed."
B-but onii-chan is dead...
Elsewhere in the city, some other girls were waking on that morning. For them, there had been no great changes from the status quo and things continued in their normal vein... not that this was entirely normal for most people...
...and grab the toothpaste with my right arm... wait, that's not possible...
...we're going to need to try and get more, at the current rate her condition will begin to worsen again...
...another year, another class of infants. Damn it...

The Doctor opens "his" eyes.
He jumps up when he notices where he is. OK this looks slightly like House Lungbarrow but...Gallifrey's gone. How am I here?
A enthusiastic and familiar male voice echoes through the Doctor's room. "Jenny, it's time for school."
The Doctor shakes his head. "School but I..."
The Doctor covers his mouth. His voice sounds much higher-pitched and with a slight lisp. He then notices his arms are a lot shorter and seem to be a bit chunkier. "What happened to my..."
The Doctor walks to his mirror. A loud scream comes from his mouth. He has a nose reminiscent of a button, some blue eyes and some girlish lips. Lastly something that would normally be something very exciting to the Doctor is that she is now a ginger.

The Doctor is grabbing her hair with a dumbfounded look on her face. "That's... That's impossible. I'm little Amelia Pond."

Wild Horse
Gunner groggily blinked, finding her within an unfamiliar room, white and sparse. Pushing herself up from her bed, the girl put her feet on the floor and walked outside.
Opening a door that led to a restroom, she began washing her face with running water from the faucet. Looking into the mirror, she blinked in surprise as she found her dyed hair was once again golden and straight as opposed to the brunette bun she had it in before. Her eyes also reverted to its customary ocean blue, its true color when not hidden by her lens. Strangely, she was missing her glasses, though she could see just fine without them. No, it was the distinct absense of the item that upset her.
Frowning at her reflection, she exited the room and headed downstairs, surprised to smell breakfast. Perhaps it's Kohaku cooking...
Reaching the bottom of the step, she stared in dull surprise at the person waiting near the meal, who looked like an older version of Metaluca, hair done in a tight bun and slight wrinkles lining her face.
"What are you waiting for?" The woman asked, turning around to pick up a newspaper. "Breakfast is ready, perfectly portioned to provide the neccessary energies and stimuli for the day." The food in question was a platter of unwrapped prepackaged meals, looking like an assortment blandly symmetrical and dull squares arranged upon china.
Gunner simply stood there, frozen. "But... Madame Rosenkreutz is dead... She whispered, as if to wake from a nightmare.
Always be ready to do the unusual and unexpected.
"Mr. Rey is having a bit of a crisis right now," Fluttershy informed Link. "I think he just needs some time alone - "
That was when the portals appeared again, sucking everyone inside. Fluttershy merely had an annoyed looked and allowed the portal to suck her in.
DAMMIT MARK, STOP HOTTING HELPY!!
Erio woke with a start. Something was clearly amiss.
Wait; this isn't the castle. What have I landed in this time, and where's everyone else?
Then he looked down, and saw that instead of his brown uniform, he was wearing a slightly frilly yellow dress.
OK, this is strange...
"Yup. That tasted purple."
Three matters were presented to the Tick when he awoke. The first, that he was in a bed in a room, neither of which he recognised. The second, that he was so much lighter, skinnier and smaller than before, that when he sat up he almost launched himself forward. The third, that under his new shirt were a couple of round things that were somewhat entertaining to squeeze. He spent about a minute 'examining' himself, giggling in an extremely high voice, when he heard a familiar sound, causing him to brighten up and mouth the name of the source.
"H-hello? Where am I? What happened to my fingers? What's going on?!"
Arthur stumbled out of a box and onto the desk. He found himself resembling an adorable rabbit, a fraction of his normal size, in a cluttered high-school girl's bedroom. The presumed owner of the bedroom suddenly got off their bed, and rushed towards him at alarming speed while saying "Aaaw, you look so precious! Who's the cutest little small fry ever? You are, that's who!"
The towering teenage girls cooing and reaching towards Arthur was the stuff of nightmares, in his opinion. "N-n-n-no! You don't understand! I'm not a cute little small fry! I'm Arthur Burbank, I'm a 32 year old former accountant, I was raised Jewish, I have a girlfriend, I live in the city, I'm a human being!"
"Of course you are, little cutey! And Arthur is such a adorable name for such and adorable bunny!"
"No, no please no," Arthur cowered from the frightening girl, "I'm not a bunny! I'm a person! I'm Arthur! I...I WANNA GO HOME!"
"Don't worry about home, lil' buddy! If any intruder tries to break in there, trusty Speak will show them what's what!"
Arthur opened his eyes. "...Tick?"
"Yes, Arthur?"
Arthur took a moment to process this, and came up with Syntax Error. "Tick, what's going on here?!"
"What do you mean, old friend?"
'...Well, look at me! More importantly, look at you!'
Tick took a moment to examine himself in the mirror. He was now a tall girl with flowing black hair, with facial features and shiny eyes that suggested age, but not necessarily maturity. He was currently dressed in blue pyjamas, and a couple of buttons on her shirt were undone from a moment ago. "Hmm, an attractive, regular appearance, but not unwelcome to the world of the vigilante. I look rather young too. I wonder if I'm gonna be the sidekick..."
"TICK! You've been gone for two days, Sewer Urchin and I have been looking all over for you, and suddenly I'm in some strange place, you're a teenage girl, and you're taking this all in your stride! Actually that last part isn't unusual, but where have you been AND WHAT'S GOING ON?!"
The Tick sat down, "Well, Arthur, it's like this. As I awoke from the macaroni of the previous night, I found myself not upon the couch, but on a crystal surface..."

"Muuuh... Hisui... Chan..."
Kohaku mumbled as she regained consciousness. Ugh, why couldn't it have been as gentle as the last time? For... Whatever reason, she had found herself laying in a bed. The noise of gentle breathing caused her to look to her side, where she found Hisui peacefully slumbering.
"...Aw, Hisui-chan's so cute..."
"Kohaku-chan!" Kohaku heard a pleasantly familiar male voice. "Hisui-chan! Time to get up!"
"...Mmmm... Shi... Ki-sama?" Hisui jolted upright suddenly, and like a machine suddenly springing to life she quickly got out of bed and, seeing how she was suddenly in a pair of pajamas, began rummaging through the wardrobe.
"My... My uniform..." she mumbled, "Where... Where is it?"
"They're taking far too long, Nii-san," the twins heard another familiar voice say, this one female. Not long afterwards, the owner of the voice, a beautiful young woman with long black hair and a rather cross expression, burst through the bedroom door. "Hisui! Kohaku! Hurry it up! You are not going to be late for your first day at your new school! It would look bad on the reputation of the Tohno household!"
"Uh... School?" Kohaku gave the woman a dumbstruck look, whilst Hisui was still fretting over not being able to find her maid uniform. "Akiha-sama... I was homeschooled, remem-"
"Quit complaining!" yelled Akiha, cutting off Kohaku. "If you two aren't dressed and downstairs for breakfast in five minutes, I will be very angry, understand?" With that, she stormed out of the room.
"Um... I guess our next challenge is... Everyday school life?" Kohaku scratched her head in confusion. "Guess we're wearing different uniforms today, Hisui-chan, ufu~"
Stealth Bomber
Before Scorpion could get a reply from Jack, he found himself back in the Crystal City. He tried to get back to Cletus to apologize for accidentally killing him, but then the portals reopened and he went flying in.
J-E-T-S JETS JETS JETS!
Shotaro was asleep in a bed as the door opened. He snored as a person entered his room, holding a green. The person held the slipper over his head and readied the slipper..
THWACK!
The slipper hit Shotaro over the head, causing him to wake up. "Gah! What was that!" Shotaro said, looking around until he saw the person holding the slipper. His mouth gaped open as he saw who it was. "A-Akiko! Thank goodness you're here! I had the weirdest dream and-" Shotaro said, before Akiko thwacked him in the head again.
"You're gonna be late for school if you don't wake up! And please, don't ever refer to me by my name. Mother will do nicely." Akiko said.
"M-Mother?" Shotaro said. Akiko then pulled Shotaro out of the bed and dragged him downstairs. In the living room, a man in a police uniform was having his coffee. He then sees Akiko dragging Shotaro down the stairs.
"Morning, Akiko." The police officer said. Shotaro then looked at him.
"R-Ryu?" Shotaro said. The officer simply raised an eyebrow.
"Shoko! Calling your parents by their names? I didn't hear of that!" Akiko said to him, thwacking him over the head once again.
"Sho-Shoko?" Shotaro asked.
"Do you believe this girl, Ryu?" Akiko said.
"...Girl?" Shotaro said. He then rushed to a bathroom nearby and looked in the mirror. He had purple eyes and lighter brown hair, but most noticeably, they were longer and in pigtails.
It took Shotaro a few seconds to realize what had happened to him.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" screamed a voice outside a small, one story house with dozen of windmills on it.
"Of course, Satsuki-sama."
Nanoha's morning was a fairly odd one. It started with her confirming that the voice she heard was really her brother. Upon doing that, she hugged him. After her grew confused, she got out of her pajamas and found that she had a uniform to dress in... an echo of her uniform in her home universe, save the fact that it was black. She changed into it, still rather baffled by... everything that was occurring, really, and found the rest of her family downstairs. She hugged them, too...
But... this isn't my house, things are different... so... is this really my family? Well, they are, but... maybe they're another version?
Trying to think about what was happening was difficult, to say the least. After breakfast, her parents quickly sent her off for school, before she had any kind of chance to ask any questions.
Needless to say, Nanoha was confused.
Walking away from her house, Nanoha looked around. This... wasn't her neighborhood, but it... looked kind of like it? It was weird, things were similar, but completely different at the same time. She pulled her backpack on a bit more and tried to figure out just what was going on.
... Wait.. her family was here, was Fate here too?
She didn't see her... the train station was just up ahead, if Fate was here she'd see her there.
Nanoha walked into the train station. There were a few other children around her age, the girls in uniforms identical to hers, waiting for the train, so she was sure that this was the right way, just like it was at home.
"Oh, dear. The toad, the monkey, and the dog have all screwed up."
A Place Between Worlds
Within the portal, on the way to whatever destination it might have, Garland began to feel a change come over him. His body began to shrink, for starters. His armour was also shifting, but the changes to his brain were having a catastrophic effect on his psyche. Garland quickly ceased to notice the events of the physical world as the events within him started to change him much more severely...
Garland's Mental World
Within the stone chamber, there was a great rumbling and shifting happening. The four quickly awakened at the noise, much to Garland's dismay. Of course, he was much more concerned about the fact that the chamber appeared to be shrinking.
"My Lord! What in the world is happening here?!"
"Is it not obvious, flaming one? His mind is shrinking."
"Why yes, that was obvious! But why is it happening?"
"We may have a greater problem to deal with here, friends."
"You refer to the lack of space we will soon have?"
"Indeed. And our greater proximity to the center might have some unusual effects on the vessel's actions. Orders, Lord?"
Garland sighed. "Be silent and brace yourselves."
"Understood."
As the walls closed in, the five of them did indeed run out of space. Garland knew better than to stand from the throne, so it fell to the others to wrap themselves up in whatever shapes they had to in order to avoid being squashed. By the time the chamber had stabilized, the Four Fiends were as tightly packed around the now-obscured figure on the throne as sardines in a tin. The chains around them had gotten tangled up, and wove in annd out of the pile, seemingly at random.
"It seems," Garland's voice came out of the pile, "that the vessel, as you rather tactlessly put it, is currently asleep. Before it wakes, I would have you all..."
???
Next to a bed containing a pile of pillows and covers, an alarm clock went off. From under the sheets, a small arm reached out towards it. The hand patted the table three times, trying to find the location of the awful noise, before finally finding the vibrating contraption. The arm brought the hand, clenched into a fist, down on it. The noises ceased. The room was also suddenly decorated with pieces of clockwork.
Shift. Shift. The pile seemed to grow bigger for a moment, before a duvet fell off and revealed a small figure, a young girl, her face concealed behind a curtain of white hair. Said curtain fluttered briefly when she yawned, revealing a strangely hard face for one so young.
A knock came at the door. "Landa? Are you up yet?" The woman, whoever she was, received only a groan in answer. "Landa, it wouldn't do for you to be late for school. I'm making breakfast now; put your uniform on and come downstairs within ten minutes, or Father will be eating it instead." Noises indicated that someone began to go downstairs.
The girl considered the words. Landa? Probably her name. It was nice to have a name. So, who was she? She stumbled over to the desk, swept her hair aside, and looked in the mirror. Bright yellow eyes stared back at her. She was... Human? Young? Female? Those last two didn't seem right somehow, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it. Maybe because of that dream she had? About the man and the four monsters in a shrinking room?
No, that was just a dream. The voice had mentioned school. Children went to school. She was a child. She smiled, proud of her logic, and went looking for the uniform she was supposed to wear.
A society grows great when old men plant trees whose shade they know they will never sit in.
There was a knock at the door.
"Erika, hurry up or you'll be late for school."
It sounded like his mother. Or at least what he could remember of her. But why had she called him Erika?
"Your uniform's hanging on the wardrobe. Now hurry up!"
The uniform hanging on the wardrobe door was a long black dress and a short jacket. It was a lot like what he(she?)'d seen Captain Takamachi wearing in old archive footage from the Arthra's sensors from the Jewel Seed and Book of Darkness incidents.

Vampire Hunter
"Chun-Li, wake up."
"Just five more minutes..." Chun-Li grumbled, but then paused and shot up from the bed. It was him... He was there, but that was impossible. M. Bison had killed him, but her father was right in front of her. She couldn't help but hug him, crying in joy.
"Now, now... You had a nightmare, but it's over now," Chun-Li's father said back to her. That didn't make sense, though. She remembers everything about him being killed and M. Bison telling her that he did it. It was then that she noticed that she was a lot shorter, like a child.
"We need to get you ready for school," Chun-li's father reminded her. Chun-li already completed school, but she wasn't going to argue with her father. Chun-li was soon dressed and ready for school. Chun-li then spotted her father talking with a bearded man in purple robes. She knew he was Gen, who had been one of her father's friends. However, he looked a lot younger than the last time she saw her.
"Her training in the martial arts is going well," Gen said to her father.
"Excellent," her father nodded. "I'm glad to hear it."
Chun-Li, her father, and Gen had a traditional Chinese breakfast. She then left for the train station, which looked to be the right place as there were many other children in the same school uniform that she had found to wear. One of the children however looked very familiar.

Figure of Hourai
"Nano-chan, Nano-chan, I woke up and I was all small and my boobs were gone!" a familiar, yet somewhat distorted, voice cried as Byakuren pushed through the crowds towards the familiar hairstyle. Someone had taken the time to comb the multi-coloured hair and tie it neatly back, for once, which was an improvement over its normal habit of being left to hang however it felt like. "And, and onii-chan isn't dead and I've got to go to school! What's a school like!"
The distraught loli-magician appeared to have not left the tiger at home, clutching to it as she stopped in front of Nanoha, panting heavily. It seemed that all the benefits that came from being a youkai magician had been stripped for this challenge... not good for someone that didn't normally eat anything non-sugary, that.

Grey had been talking to Model A about the people they had just conversed with when the portal opened. Grabbing the Biometal tightly (which protested loudly the whole while), Grey walked hesitantly toward the portal. What would it hold? Hopefully, not another situation where he would lose control.
Holding his breath in trepidation, Grey stepped through and braced himself for the other side...
