"Do not get cocky." Mr. Johanssen commanded. "Your next opponent awaits."
The iron gate opened, revealing a very large man riding a very large spectral horse. The essence of evil oozed off of him as he swung his wicked blade.
"Come, mortal." The spectral rider guffawed. "I am here to take your corpse."

Secret Underground Base in the Middle of the Pacific Ocean

"Ugh... where am I?" I had awaken to find out that I was in an unknown room. The technology was amazingly advanced in any case. I couldn't open the door. Rather, it shocked me. Not with enough voltage to kill me, but enough to topple me to the ground. "Ow..." That hurt, but never mind that; I may have only rarely taken naps, but this one in particular... why did it feel so long? Someone was coming. "Huh?! She's awake! Chief! CHIEF!!!" What was that all about? I waited a few minutes for something significant to happen. Then, a purple gas filled the room, and I felt drowsy... I... Can't... Stay awake... I fell with a thud.

"Gah!" Another surprise slumber, but it didnt feel as long as my last one. I was tied to a chair, and the chair felt cold and hard. the rope had some kind of rubber covering. I couldnt break it. Someone was coming. It was a man in a black suit. "So how have you been, miss... Shi...shikieiki..." "Its shikieiki yamaxanadu," i corrected him," and just how do you know my name? Ive never met you, and Ive mever been here. Were you stalking me? Oh... Dont tell me..." "Oh, no no, miss... I'll call you shiki. Ive just been told that that was your name." "By who?" All of a sudden, Komachi came out from behind him. I should have known. She was wearing a different attire: the same one that the man was wearing. "Komachi... What were you thinking?! I would kill you should i not be tied up." "Relax, they're the good guys." "Then why the hell am I tied up? The man stepped in. "It's merely for safety precautions. As you may have guessed, you dont belong in this dimention. We, the neoyakuza, are trying to get you all back to YOUR realms." So I wasnt the only one... "What we want... Is for you to join us in our struggle to help everyone."

It seemed very foggy, but it seemed i had no other choice. "... Alright. I'll join. Now untie me this instant!" He took out a pocket knife and cut the ropes of rubber. "Now, based on my readings, you come from a rather undeveloped dimention known as gensokyo. This all must be new to you. Dont worry, I'll show you the ropes. My name is otori, by the way. Otori inozuka." All i want to do is get out of here. "You will be under training before your mission tommorow, but its not like you need much of it, anyways." What a suck up. Worse than komachi. Speaking of which,"komachiiiii!!!!" "Im sorry, but they conviced me that they were good, they even convinced you." "Even so, its dangerous to act on your own!" "But youve been asleep for so long tha-" "wait... What do you mean, asleep? You mean... I was in a coma?" "Uh huh..." Damn! Oh well. I must get conditioned to save everyone. I followed otori. "Oh, mr. Inozuka. Where is my rod of remorse?" "Rod of remorse? Never heard of it." Then komachi whispered in his ear. "Oh, the stick?" The stick?! How disrespectful! But he handed it over anyways. I'll be keeping an eye on them.

(I have a perfect image for what Komachi would look like. I'll post it on OOC Board)

"Well, well, well, if it isn't Suika. How are things?"
"Oh it's just you, Mima." Suika said. "If you're looking to bug Reimu, she's not here. Who are those people behind you?"

Zero looks at his new opponent. His cocky attitude quickly changed back to his serious one. "Well looks like you will be stronger than the last one." He said as he draws his Z-Saber again. He goes into a more offensive pose, and shoots a eager look at his opponent. "Bring it!" He yelled as he charges at his opponent.

X overheard the whole conversation about another kidnapping. This just made him more angry than sad. He stands up and looks at Yuuka. "Some of us need to get supplies before we can even think about fighting them. I even have a few upgrades at the base I was stationed at that could help out some. I just need to get back there. Some of you can even stock up on ammunition or even weapons if you really need to." He says in a slightly angered tone. He does not wish to fight, but he wants to help out in some way. "My Falcon Armor upgrade is all I need in this situation."

(I literally can't breathe b/c of Pontius and Salvador. It's great.)

"Dark Arthas, the Lich King?" One of the scientists accompanying Mr. Johanssen gasped. "That Character is one of the highest caliber of Forbidden Project Characters!"
"If Mr. Zero can win this battle," Mr. Johanssen said. "Then he will be considered THE highest."
"But, if Dark Arthas is the fourth trial opponent," the scientist inquired. "Who will be the fifth?"
"You will find out soon enough." Mr. Johanssen replied coldly, his eyes not leaving the test chamber.

"Arise, my undead companions." The spectral rider, Arthas, hissed as the ground erupted. From the eruption, two undead ghouls moaned and screeched, risen from the dead. "Attack, and devour."
The ghouls pounced onto Zero, their mouths agape, ready to chew and consume.

"We eat."
Suika laughed. The human companions of Mima were just like oni, rowdy and funny.
"All I have is this sake gourd. But you can't drink from it. Too toxic for humans like you." Suika drank from her gourd. (Side Note: Suika is 2 feet right now.) "Reimu should be back soon. I remember her saying she would go down to the human village to pick up some groceries."

"Do what you will about the supplies, I'm going on ahead." Yuuka replied. "I do not have neither needs nor time to waste. My friend has been kidnapped, and I will not stop until I get her back."
