All righty then, let the fun begin:

 

The Meeting Lands, a world ocupied by all sorts of video game characters, both the well known and the obscure. Every year, a new wave of characters are transported to this strange world with no memory of how they got there. This story chronicles the experiences of these new arivals; their triumphs, their failures, their discoveries, and for some of them, their deaths. This is their story:

 

Greyson, Rallen, Fixer, Xion, and the Alchemist arrived in an old abandoned inn. The floor creaked, and there was a thick layer of dust over everything. In a the middle of the entrence room were five backpacks, each with a sleeping bag as well as food and water to last them each about a day. The inn was in a thick forest, surrounded by trees. There was a path that led out from the inn, which then branched off to the left and right. How far they were from civilization was impossible to tell. 

 

Logan, Revan, Laura Croft, Kat, and the Gardener arrived in a small cave in mountains, over looking a little villege. Also in the cave was some rope and five envalopes, each having one of these peoples names on them. The could hike down to the villege, but the terrain was very trecherous. There was also a path that led higher up the mountain, but what lay beond it was still unknown.

 

Pit, Jade Curtiss ,Yuffie Kisaragi, Madara Uchiha, and Zack Fair arrived in the sewers of the biggest city in the Meeting Lands, Alaria. They were all laying on a pathway of stone next to the river of sewage. Next to them were two flash lights, two radios, and two money purses. There was no nearby exit, so the only ways to go were  either left or right.

 

Dyme, Chell, Luke Fon Fabre, Hubert Oswell, and Steve arrived in a small shack in the middle of a swamp. Inside the shack were two mediom sized bags filled with food and water, and two pairs of night vision goggles. It was the middle of the day, but it wouldn't be for long. When night fell, these goggles would become very usefull. The shack was on top of a small island surrounded by swamp water and other islands much like it. There was no telling what dangers were inside of that water. There were bridges that connected the islands. Two such bridges were on the island they were on, one to the left, and one to the right. All of the other land masses seemed to lead to one of these two bridges, but not both. 

 

All of these four groups have to choose one of the two paths. The question is, which of these groups will stick together, and which will split up?

A loud cry came from the SOLDIER 1st Class.  He leapt up and down on one foot before collapsing in a puddle of sewer water.  If he were less upset about his foot, he probably would've had a stronger reaction to the distasteful liquid.  Bracing himself, he tore the arrow out of his foot.  "Hey!  What's the big idea?  Can't you take a joke?!"  Zack swore under his breath.  Truthfully, he'd been partly hoping this angel would transform into a more feminine form--though he could now clearly see this wasn't the case.  "Next time, hold your strings a little tighter, alright?  We're all stuck in this mess and the best thing we could do right now is help each other."

 

The dark-haired teen shot a glare at the pale-haired colonel, who seemed only flabbergasted by their aggressive banter.  "Okay, Sherlock; I surrender.  If you're willing to tell me something that I don't already know, I'll actually be willing to listen and take action."

"No, not when all I know is that Lady Palatenua's castle is now nothing but a sewer and you all are responsible for it! And I had it plenty tight, but when you stand here and refuse to tell me what you have done to Lady Palatenua and make jokes in a situation like this, I guess I let it slip. Besides, I don't need you all for help, nor would I want traitorous fiends as my allies!" Pit was absolutely outraged. He had just about loosed another arrow into Zack when Jade spoke.

Jade sighed, rubbing his temples while letting his spear vanish in a flash of bright light.

"I see, so getting you all to calm down and become orderly will not be as easy as I had hoped." Jade said, resuming his composure as he fixated his glasses. "Well, Zachary, if it's a challenge you want..then fine. Better to end this now then suffer your ridiculous impudence later on."

Jade looked to Pit. "First off, Angel, I am not your enemy, nor have I heard of this Lady before. You speak of her like a Goddess, and then only 'God' I can think of is the aggregate sentience Lorelei."

 

Jade then looked to Zack. "Zachary." He said, "Here's something you don't know: While I am often called Colonel Curtiss...I also go by the name 'The Necromancer.' Perhaps if you live long enough, you'll find out why...and no, it doesn't involve raising the dead. Believe me, I've tried. All you do is raise your own personal demons."

"I swear: If you call me 'Angel' one more time, I won't hesita- Wait... WHAT! You have never heard of Lady Palatenua!? That's preposterous!" Pit was in utter disbelief when he head something swishing through the air

 

As Madara comes closer,he saw some people (Jade,Zack,etc..)nearby."So....it seems it was them...."Madara said as he then began to use his Sharingan and reading their abilities."Hmm....they're strong....but not strong enough..."Madara said as he then hid himself while reading their powers."This is interesting....might to put some test on them...."Madara said as he then throw an Explosive Kunai on them...

"Get back!" Pit shot the Kunai, causing it the blow up. It pushed Pit back fairly hard, knocking his bow apart, leaving only half with him as the other half fell into the sewage. "Arg! Fiend! I am SO not in the mood for fighting a stupid guy who thinks he can take me on!: He stowed the half of the Palatenua Bow in his belt and summoned his Invisible Claws, the only thing visible about them was the glove they were attached to, and they had a somewhat puny range, but puny was better than nothing. "Come on out you coward!"

"Come on out you coward!"

.

"It seems not just their power....but their own aspects itself....how amusing..."Madara said as he began to show himself."I'm surprise that you block my attacks....would you care to have a dance with me?..."Madara said as his Sharingan began spinning as he ready for anything."Show me what you got,Little Angel..."Madara said as he giving him the opportunity to attack...

"I never intended to strike a rivalry with you Zack." Jade said curtly, waving his left arm over his right, his spear appearing again. "But we'll save that for later. We have come across an adversary. Or, they came across us."

Jade pointed his spear at the enemy, a circular glyph appearing at his feet as particles floated upwards around him.

"Oh roar of the Earth, bring forth the fangs of the mighty Dragon! Ground Dasher!" Jade called out, the particles floating outwards as the ground beneath their feet began to rumble, massive spikes of earth roaring out from the ground-- the attack making a beeline for Madara.

"It seems not just their power....but their own aspects itself....how amusing..."Madara said as he began to show himself."I'm surprise that you block my attacks....would you care to have a dance with me?..."Madara said as his Sharingan began spinning as he ready for anything."Show me what you got,Little Angel..."Madara said as he giving him the opportunity to attack...

"You know what? I've had to fight the god of death, wage a war on the underworld, got trapped in a ring, and now I'm not even in my home, and if it were jsut that, I would just go, but that is the THIRD TIME I have heard someone call me Angel, and I a sick of it!" Pit set up his false death ability and Bumblebee, which allowed him to avoid enemy attacks of all kinds. He rushed in, right behind Jade's attack, waiting for it to land so he could combo off the attack, charging a shot for the man's face.

"Bu-But if she's dead then I'm dead and if I'm dead I can't catch or find my friends and I had such a short life and guaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhH!" He was absolutely loosing it. DEXTER just so happened to fall out of his pocket. "If you are the current Pokemon League Champion, that's sad. Your plenty alive, genius."

Greyson stopped crying, only to freak out a little inside.

"I...I see dead people..."

"Enough with referencing TV mystery drama's. I have the location of the next Pokemon Center and..."

"WAIT! THERE IS A POKEMON CENTER HERE! YESSSSSSSSSS!" (If you cannot tell... I can be very bipolar sometimes.) "I can't wait to get back Charmax *Lol, reference to first time I played a Pokemon game* And Raptorvora and Gara *Lol, reference to name of Naruto Character* And Free-Bee, Jirachi, and good ol' Mudkip!" He ran out of the house, only to be tackled by a Carnova. "Oh, yeah, WILD Carnova live in habitats like this. They will try and tackle you so they can eat you."

"WAAA WHAAAA HAAAAA! OKAY PROFESSOR OAK OKAY I WON"T GO OUT WITHOUT A POKEMON ANY MORE I WON'T!!!!! SOMEONE HELP ME! AHHHAHAH!" The Carnova was using its Venus Flytrap like mouth to eat Greyson hole.

Fixer could only watch as the boy ran out of the bedroom. He stood up and walked after him before hearing his cries of help, then he bolted towards his voice. He saw the carnova and shouldered his DC-17 assault rifle. Looking down the holo sights, he let off a burst of accurate laser fire at the thing, dropping it with three 3 round bursts. Greyson fell out of the thing's mouth and was now laying face down in the grass. He let off a sigh; this was going to be one helluva adventure. he dragged the boy's body back into the inn and started trauma procedures only to find out he wasn't badly hurt. He left Greyson alone and went towards Xion. "I don't think it's safe here anymore. Grab a backpack and let's get going. If we don't, we won't last very long out here in the middle of no where."

"I see....how magnificent..."Madara said as he let himself being attack."Very well,i suppose it's not gonna hurt to you all if i give you an opportunity to meet.....the God of Storm?"Madara said as he then use his Mangekyo Sharingan and appear the Susano'o's arms with Swords around him with Susano'o's Rib cage and attack Pit and Jade after being attacked by them...

(Well, I need to get off and get some shut-eye, so would you guys mind not getting too far ahead, if that's alright? Thanks.)

(Wait what?)

(Wait what?)

(You could say that Madara using Susano'o's attack on you guys after being hit...)

Zack nodded to Jade, a smile appearing more like a grimace appearing on his face.  He then whipped his head in the direction of the adversary, who seemed to be intent on attacking them.  "Hey!"  His hand braced the handle of the enormous buster sword on his back, swishing it through the air before bringing it before him in an offensive position.  "Whoever you are, know that you've come to mess with the wrong guy!"

 

(And I'm getting off here for the night, too; hopefully I'll get caught up again tomorrow afternoon.)

"Wrong or not....i'm willing to accepted it..."Madara said as he block the Buster Sword's attack by using the Rib Cage of Susano'o."Now then....let's see if you can handle this heat..."Madara said as he then performing a Jutsu."Fire Style,Great Fire Annihilation!"Madara said as he blow a massive fire ball on them...

Revanclosed his eyes a moment. He stretched out with his feelings andtouched the living things around him with the Force. His connectionstill felt strong and alive. Though he was now quessing he was far, faraway from any place he had been before, he was calm. No matter where youwent, there was the Force. And now he had access to learn another formof...well, magic was the only word for it, from Logan."Agreed." hesaid aloud, opening his eyes. "Becareful what you say or do. Thisvillage could be filled with friendly people, but it could also holdenemies."He took in a deep breath and let it out."Once you are ready, we should go."

"Well... What about that man? He is still incapacitated, and although farmers are not strong at first, they learn fast and get strong quick, not to mention his possible skill sets." he looked at the still unconscious farmer, wondering what strategies he could have in store with this party.

 

Fixer could only watch as the boy ran out of the bedroom. He stood up and walked after him before hearing his cries of help, then he bolted towards his voice. He saw the carnova and shouldered his DC-17 assault rifle. Looking down the holo sights, he let off a burst of accurate laser fire at the thing, dropping it with three 3 round bursts.

He left Greyson alone and went towards Xion. "I don't think it's safe here anymore. Grab a backpack and let's get going. If we don't, we won't last very long out here in the middle of no where."

Greyson awoke with a start. "Aw man! Dayum, I just never get to do anything right..." He looked around in his pack, pulling out a black and grey version of his clothes. "Well, haven't worn these since Weiz's Ratticate's funeral. Too bad, its a nice outfit.." he put on a monochrome version of his hat, since the Carnova ate his red one. "Well, at least I don't have to smell like Carnova breath for the rest of the day."  He checked his pack for damage or any reason to get rid of it, which it had holes and tears everywhere. he went over to the pack that Fixer left. Is was grey and black, in the same style and design of his old backpack. "This'll do." He transferred everything over to this new pack. To his surprise, Greyson found a PC linked to the Pokemon Transfer System. The only things in it were egg's, however. "What!? Just egg's!? Tch. Oh, well. I guess a Pokemon is a Pokemon is a Pokemon." He grabbed one of the eggs, it looked like and orange egg with pink dots and some fiery triangles on it, then the PC blew out,  the screen only going dark and refused to work. Greyson pulled his Trainer ID out of the machine. "I hope that you are a good Pokemon, I don't ever remember ever obtaining your egg..." He walked around for a little, pretty much only to the nearest bed, and it hatched. "Fe... Fenikin..." A small, yellow and red fox Pokemon hatched from the egg. Greyson pulled out DEXTER. "Fenikin, the Fire Fox Pokemon. Fenikin is a loyal, but sly Pokemon, its fire attacks are weak at first, they grow to be very strong later." The definition satisfied Greyson. "Ah, that's right that Trainer from the region with the pointy tower which name escapes me gave me this egg on the other day. Well, Fenikin, time to name you, then put you in the Pokeball... How about FlashFire?" The little fox nodded its head in approval, and Greyson smiled. "Well, welcome to the team FlashFIre!" He tapped the Pokeball on FlashFire's head, and captured it.

 

(You could say that Madara using Susano'o's attack on you guys after being hit...)

(Okay... But it might help if you go by the first names since I read that and said "Who is Susano?" to myself...)

The first attack that the enemy threw Pit dodged with his Bumble Bee ability, and he tried to preform a basic melee claw combo, he shot out fire. A Fire Ball to be exact, Pit took the blow, only the Fake Death ability allowed him to survive it. He stayed on the ground for a moment, seeming defeated, until he lunged up and slashed the enemy's ankles with his claws and passing back. He opened his tunic and pulled out an apple, eating it, he regained HP he lost to the damage he received from it alone. "Who say's a little Vitamin A won't help?" He smirked. "That all you have?"

"Well,if you want more,i'll be gladly to giving my all..."Madara said as he then performing a new Jutsu."Wood Style,Deep Forest Emergence!"Madara casting of his Jutsu as he launch many Roots of trees appear from the water and restrain him."Let's see if you dodge this,Little Angel...."Madara said as he then summon the Susano'o and performing Yasaka Magatama,a Tomoe shape with blue flames and attack on Pit...

Yuffie was still confused, but nothing else made any sense, so leaving it would be the best. She simply watched as the conversation went on. Then the guy attacked them. "Nice guy huh?" She called out to him. As the tree roots shot out, Yuffie shredded them all with shurikens. She jumped onto and over Pit, using her thunder materia to dispel the flaming tomes. Yuffie drew out her large shuriken, and pointed it at the man. "No one, can mess with Yuffie Kisaragi, the one and only white rose of Wutai, and get away with it!" Yuffie called back to the man.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hubert pushed his glasses up his nose, and looked to his companions. "My name is Hubert Oswell, Major of Strahta, Dualblade Ace, Lord of Lhant, and general badass. Any more questions before we get going?" Hubert said calmly, walking over to the pile of supplies. He picked up a bag of food and water, and sauntered over to the door. "We have no time to waste. Pretty sure you two want to get home too."

"Another ninja.....and i'm sure he's not one of the ninja in the ninja world...."Madara said as his eyes becoming Mangekyo Sharingan."Susano'o!"Madara then summoned the Susano'o,a blue flame monster with a skull appearance and wielding two flame swords."Try dodging these,White Rose of Wutai..."Madara said as the Susano'o begins to attack on Yuffie...

Jade frowned. "Well well well....you're proving to be an interesting enemy. Perhaps close enough to the God-Generals. Of course, they all died for their cause, and you're jus here to get on my nerves." Jade said, the particles beginning to float around him again

"Arise oh violent waters, to douse my enemies...Splash!" Jade commanded, a furor of water erupting around Madara.

"Blizzard!" Yuffie yelled. Nothing happened. "Huh?" All her materia was gone! That was the cruelest thing they could have done to her. She took a deep breath. She'd have to do without the shiny little balls of power for now. "Fine." She muttered, a devious grin on her face. She ran towards the Susano'o dodging the flaming swords easily. The great ninja jumped up onto the weird creature, and ran straight up it's chest. She let her arm drop a little, her shuriken slashing deeply into it's chest. She reached the head, where she flipped backwards, nailing the creature in the chin, and knocking it backwards. "I like to call that... ummm... the Yuffie Special! Yeah, that has a ring to it." She said, landing back on the ground next to Pit.

(Holy crap I have a lot of catch-up to do! Could somebody recap quickly what has happened in my groups?)

 

"All my power, losing it, losing it, beaten, never cured." These thoughts passed through the Alchemist's head as the power resident in the heart of Ordrak disintegrated, leaving him with nothing, no, worse than nothing. He could no longer be cured. All was a rush of power and sound, power he could never have, power he once knew, power he would yet attain, so much sound, pressing, pressing inward. And then, WHAM! He came out the other end, into a dusty room. The Alchemist stood up, the floor creaking under the weight of his armor. He felt. . . whole. Whole, for the first time since, since. . . when? Where was he? He saw a backpack on the floor. He picked it up and slung it over his shoulder. What to do now?

He was out in his garden, tending to his Sunflowers. The Gardener was on his hands and knees, digging up the grave weeds that sprung up occasionally to sap the sun of his plants. He stood up with a bucket-full, and was about to walk back into the house when suddenly, WHOOSH! A portal opened right in front of him, one of those that came around occasionally. He pitched forward into the yawning vortex, not even having time to scream. "Protect my home." he thought to his garden as he fell forward, deeper, sideways, into that sucking hole. It deposited him, non-too gently, on a rocky floor. Everything was dark. The Gardener calmly reached for his belt and grabbed a seed packet. He dropped a seed onto the ground, and a sprout quickly took root and grew. A Plantern now lit up the area. He saw a rope next to an envelope with his name on it. "Most interesting." he muttered to himself. He picked them up and trekked out of the cave, not forgeting to return the Plantern to a seed, using an old trick Crazy Dave showed him.

Steve sat astride his pig, both of them swelling with pride and accomplishment. The Ender Dragon was now a pile of experience orbs on the ground. "By Notch, we did it!" the cuboid man exclaimed. He and his steed leapted into the dark void that would take them home. As the blackness closed around them, Steve thought how nice it would be to return home. He and Pig appeared in a wood hut, but not the right one. Steve looked around, saw a bare shack, and went outside. "Say, my house isn't in a swamp! Where in the Nether are we?!" Steve sat contemplating for a minute. "Hope we don't encounter any witches around here."

"You three are quite powerful,i admit it.....but this is just a mere child's play,and i guess our dancing tangos is about to end..."Madara said as his eyes begin to transform into Rinnegan."I'll show you....the divine power of God..."Madara said as he perform a Jutsu."Wood Style,Great Forest Emergence!"Madara then use his jutsu to restrain the enemies with Roots of Trees."Fire Style,Great Fire Annihilation!"Madara then perform Great Fire Annihilation Jutsu after restraining them and then,his Susano'o adding the attacks by performing Yasaka Magatama,the Blue Flames of Tomoe at them....

(For the gardener, your companions are still in the cave. Relations are actually looking pretty good, no fights have broke out.)

"Hold up." Revan called to the Gardener. "Before you go, we should all talk."

He took in a deep breath. He had seen what the new comer had done with the seeds. That could be useful down the road.

"Do you disregard your life this much?" Jade asked aloud, wondering as to what purpose a person would randomly approach an obviously armed group, with an intent to kill. "Everyone has motive, and if you're here for merciless killing...then begone!" Jade yelled, the air around him freezing up as the particles became more frenzied.

"Rest in the silvery embrace of frost! Absolute!" Jade chanted, a massive icicle bursting into reality, right in the way of Madara's attack.

"Indeed,everyone have their own motives....but mine was inevitable,even if i have already been dead and shouldn't be here by now....but the reason i've come back....is to make my world.....full of dreams created by Tsukuyomi.....and i will succeed."Madara said as he began to use Wood Clone Jutsu with five clones and split up into five directions after evading Jade's attack."Now....can you handle five of them?"Madara said as all the clones including the real one using Susano'o and attack them at once....

The Gardener noticed other people for the first time. He turned back into the cave and surveyed the motley group. There was a hooded, cloaked, darkish looking man, a women with a variety of weapons, and a blonde lady wearing grey clothes. The Gardener thought he seemed out of place, what with his blue overalls, green T-shirt, straw hat, and spectacles. "Oh! Pardon me, and didn't see you there! These spectacles don't improve my blind spot any more than Garlic improves a garden (note from me: I consider Garlic to be the most useless plant in the game). Well, I suppose we should have some light then. I don't know what you all were doing here standing in the dark!" The Gardener planted another Plantern. The Plantern looked at the group with secretive eyes. "See, a Plantern eats darkness and produces light. Don't ask him how he does it, though, he won't tell you." The Gardener winked at the Plantern.

"Jade...  No offense, man, but I don't think your fancy speeches are hitting home with this guy."  Zack gripped his buster sword tighter in his palms.  "I think only the impalement of steel metal's gonna get him to stop talking and start running!"  With that, Zack charged at one of the five clones, bringing his sword up to slice him--quite brutally--through the air.  "If you're the real one, all I've got to say is I tried to warn you!"

"I see,then thanks for the warning...."Madara said as he then appeared behind him and attack with Taijutsu."Now!"Other Madara said as he use his Susano'o to attack Zack while the real is hidden among them."You cannot control of this battle anymore....as i said before,this battle is like a mere child's play..."Madara said as he say with very confidence...
