On a good day, you could see from the fountain-side bench in the castle courtyard to the edge of the universe. On a bad day, it was just a case of walking a little until the fog thinned. It wasn't like the universe was particularly big, after all, it was simply the castle and its grounds, surrounded by a sphere of matter-destroying darkness. The Girl was proud of having created stars to hang in front of it without causing explosions all the time. She still couldn't get the sun to orbit properly, though.

Though it was nice to come out and look at the stars at night, it just reminded the Girl of how little there was to do. She had filled the sphere with two identical castles, her room in the centre where gravity held no sway, and landscaped the grounds to her satisfaction. There were mountains, of a sort, and rivers and waterfalls, as well as a meadow where she let the horse graze. But now, with every room filled and the castle itself completed to perfection, all that remained was ending the eternal night and making the sun...

Maybe she could look through all the myriad worlds and find one where the sun was on a little track that went round in a circle to see where she was going wrong... she'd managed to get the stars to work and the semi-bonsai mountains correct by looking hard enough. All she had to do was open a... portal...

Something finally clicked in the girl's mind. She could open portals to other worlds and had taken what she wanted from them—games, animals, anything too fiddly to make herself—so why not take the people and bring them here? They could talk and play and, maybe, she could go look around other worlds without any risk to herself!

She just needed to get the right balance of fun people and strong people...


I shouldn't have let my guard down on Sunday, even if Haruki had let me get enough rest for once. Something, from Asahina-san needing me to help with the timeline to Koizumi wanting to take me shopping, would always ruin my mornings. This was the first time that I had been abducted from my bedroom floor, though.

Against all logic, I found myself face-to-face with a glowing ball of light, one of hundreds. It was obviously a star but only a child's drawing of one—real stars are enormous fusion reactors, after all, and not mere balls.

"Umm... I wouldn't touch, if I were you. You might lose some fingers..."

It was a girl speaking, one around my brother's age and, in most respects, rather similar—more like a younger version of myself. Shoulder-length hair, golden eyes, and a pleasant green dress. She was as innocent as Asahina-san and, by all appearances, this was her world.

She's worse than Haruki.


Here's Kyonko's clothes.

"CHEEEEEEEESE!"

The brown object dropped to the ground beside Kyonko, then got to his feet. It was a small, anthropomorphic bunny, wearing a knitted green tank top, brown slippers, and a blank, gormless smile.

Blinking in surprise, the blue-uniformed girl took in her surroundings. Where... was this? It sure as hell wasn't Kagutsuchi, or headquarters or... anywhere real. What was she even looking at? Glowing spheres? And who were these people?

Noel didn't speak up, too intimidated by the presence of others. She would need to soon enough, though, if no answers presented themselves. Some of them were dressed oddly too...

She felt alone, and her hands were twitching, ready to summon her Nox Nyctores at a seconds notice. She could really use a familiar face right about now...

"♪...♫♩♬♪♪?" What the... huh? exclaimed (or at least, tried to exclaim) a yellow muscle car, as plates and panels shifted around it, eventually assming the shape of a bright yellow humanoid figure with no clear mouth, but with two large round eyes that looked around hestiantly. Seeing the little brown rabbit beside it, it relaxed by a hair, but then did a double-take as it realized that this rabbit was also wearing a green woolen sweater and talking about cheese.

"♪♪♫♩♬♯" Wait... do you even understand what I'm saying? it asked again. Its legs tensed as it looked around the seemingly deserted castle, arms up like a boxer.

"Noellie!" a familiar voice called out from the darkness. In the next second, the blue uniformed girl would find herself tackled by a familiar face. Squirrel ears, squirrel tail, black-overcoat, yeah it was Makoto Nanaya.

"Hey, do you know where we are?" the girl immediately changed the subject. White spheres around? She didn't care, as long as Noel was safe.

"Mmmm.. my instincts say.. NOT KAGUTUSUCHI!" the girl pointed out the obvious.

That voice! Noel wheeled around to meet the source of the voice, "Ma-kaah!"

Noel fell to the ground, latching onto the tackling Makoto. With a small groan of pain, Noel looked up at her beastkin friend, relief in her eyes.

"I-I dunno..." Noel mumbled, getting back onto her feet. "This place is so... weird."

Another glance at the group. There were humans, some... well, Noel assumed they were some sort of beastkin, although nothing like Noel had seen before. And a giant robot.

"...I was only trying to find Major Kisaragi..." Noel said in wonder., and turned to Makoto, looking worried. "How did we end up here? What happened?"

"Ah... more people will be along shortly!" the Girl said, trying to remember how many people she had brought with her. A lot? Umm... there was certainly the redhead to go and some man with guns. Hopefully, the man would realise that he wasn't meant to be shooting people, "So if you can all wait patiently until then, I'll be able to explain!"


A transformer, a talking rabbit in a knitted sweater, a girl with squirrel features... this was easily as weird as anything I had ever seen, surpassing even the giant cave cricket and Asahina-san's being forced into a waitress costume and destroying a fence. Easily. The next thing I knew, there would be a Magical Girl present and giving a lecture on love and justice.

This must be a dream. Someone, please, wake me up.

Remember, it's not always clear when Kyon's speaking. Lots of ambiguity to play with~

Sgt. Paul Jackson stood at the end of the Sea Knight, Pelayo having taken his seat. In the distance, a light appeared. The light grew until it was obvious. The nuke had gone off. The helicopters behind began to fall, and so did Jackson's. It went into a spin, a person flying out the rear. As the ground neared, Jackson's vision faded to black. He was going to die.

To which point he was surprised to find himself in a castle courtyard, cured of his ailments, next to several people, a giant rabbit and a giant yellow robot.

"Someone catch me!"

Johnny Cage bit the dirt hard, and even if someone had moved to follow his request, they would have missed by a mile. The actor returned to his feet, and seeing a group of people, he saw a chance to self-promote.

"Fans." The star noticed his sunglasses had cracked in half, as they peeled away from his face. He took one of his many, many spare sets and replaced them, moving up to the group.

"Hey, loving fans. Yes, It is Johnny Cage, star of Ninja Mime, Dragon Fist and Son of Dragon Fist."


The teenage superspy was enjoying his time in Sydney. After going into space for the whole Ark Angel affair and crash-landing into the Indian Ocean off the coast of Australia, it was a deserved break. He was determined to leave the spy authorities behind, no matter what ASIS wanted him to do. No matter how easy it was. He had been told that before, and it had nearly got him killed.

And all of this was forgotten as he found himself in the courtyard of a castle? Had he been drugged or something?

There were some days when Vita didn't have anything in particular to do, no work, nothing like that. And really, sometimes that was just fine.

As an Instructor and occasional combat forward, Vita often had work. And really, it was hard to say that she didn't enjoy both of those sometimes. Or... a lot of times, really. But today, she had the day off, completely, and so did Hayate. All of them did, as in the other Wolkenritter. They all got to stay home today, and Vita was pretty happy about that. Part of her would've been happier if it were just her and Hayate, but this was fine too.

Hayate had brought out one of her movies from earth to watch, and promised it was one that Vita hadn't seen before. While the rest of the Wolkenritter and Hayate(who was making hot chocolate for everyone) were still getting ready, Vita had already situated herself in front of the television, eager to see what Hayate had in store.

Vita was also eager to-


She hit the ground, hard.

"Ow!"

Vita sat up, rubbing her head. She hadn't had Graf Eisen around her neck before... and... this wasn't Hayate's living room... This was... who the hell were all these people!? This looked like a castle courtyard! And there was a giant robot, and... people... weird people, and this was...

An ordinary teenager with red clothes, an orb on one of his hands, and two wooden blades on his sheath suddenly wakes up in the courtyard. He started to wander around the courtyard, trying to wonder where he is right now.

Harpuia's piercing green eyes swept the horizon as he looked out over the sprawling metropolis of Neo Arcadia. He had a duty to protect this place, and as much as he hated to admit it, at this stage the only way to do so was to act in direct contradiction to the commandments laid down by Master X himself. Behind him lurked Fairy Leviathan and Fighting Fefnir, the former also watching the world go by while the latter paced to-and-fro in an agitated fashion.

"Dammit, why can't we go and cream that smug jerk?" grumbled Fefnir, pausing to reach for Sodom and Gomorrah but then thinking better of it. "It's not like anyone will miss him, and he's a wanted criminal - or was, I guess."

"You know how it is, Combat Geek*

- we cannot harm him; Master X said so himself," said Leviathan patiently, gently tapping her halberd.

"Shut up, Leviathan! We both know that isn't the real Master X," barked Fefnir, wheeling around to fix Leviathan with blood red eyes. "So quit stallin' and let's get going!"

"Well, let's see what Pretty Boy*

thinks," she replied, apparently unfazed by the aggressive nature of her sibling.

"...I hate to admit it, but assisting the Resistance may be our only option... you are dismissed," said Harpuia evenly, never tearing his eyes away from the city. Nodding, the two other Guardians walked away, leaving the Wise General to his own devices. Sighing, he looked at his beamsaber hilts...


...And promptly disappeared, reappearing in an entirely different place. At a glance, his gut told him it was similar to the parks that dotted the Neo Arcadian residential areas, but this was different... very different, if the series of bizarre humans and reploids*

was any indication.

"What the...?" he muttered aloud, confused at the sudden change of scenery. Deciding not to provoke those present, he stowed away his beamsabers. He quietly eyed each person in turn, trying to analyse these strangers.

"Baths are a luxury... Isn't that right, Lamia?" A voice echoed throughout the steam filled chambers as its occupant lounged within a cask of hot water, pouring down rivulets of the liquid over his head. Though the steam blurred his exact features, it could be seen from the state of his arms that he had next to no muscle mass, or at least it was hidden by the dainty light skin that most women envied.

"I agree, Id." The name was pronounced Ee-doo, instead of Aye Dee or Ihd. "Though I have no need for bathing, I do enjoy the sight of you naked and wet."

"...In any case, I think that's enough time for me in the baths. I do have a job to do after all." With that, the limber figure clambered out of his bathing area and put on his robes before picking up the rest of his equipment. He then felt the tug of something-


"Eh?" Id quipped as he was transported in front of the myriad of other beings. From all appearances, he looked like a classic Asian beauty that just barely put on her bathrobes before guests came upon her. "What are you all doing in the baths? I thought it wasn't mixed gender..." He blurted, hurrying to tie the knot on his robes to hide his nakedness, her ankle length hair and feminine face also adding to the appearance that he was a she.

A young man of East Asian descent began to gain consciousness after being on the floor for some time. He wore a black trenchcoat, red turtleneck sweater, black pants and Oxford-type shoes.

"Where the heck am I?" The man asked. "Is this some kinda joke planned by Yusuke and Natsumikan while I was asleep?" The man smirked. "Heh, this is probably just some dream I'm in right now."

"Oh dear me! It appears My magic seems to have malfunctioned!"

The others at the courtyard would notice that the source of the voice was an old man standing in the middle of the place, Deathly pale and thin, with what seems to be an incense burner on his left forearm and a wicked looking scythe on his right. Despite his rather alarming appearance, his face and eyes seem to indicate that he wasn't afraid or confused at all, just pleasantly surprised.

"Excuse me young ones, Do you happen to know where has this old man ended up?"

Even if they don't know, I suppose it would be wise and entertaining to befriend them.
