Welcome readers to my new fic, Chaos Universe!
This is actually a fic that's supposed to replace my Super Smash Bros. fic. I wasn't really satisfied with the results and some silly mistakes there.
The fic is a crossover of the video game universe like the old Super Smash Bros. fic.
As for the story, let's say I took a lot of inspiration from the Blazblue games and the rebooted Mortal Kombat. The story will be divided into various scenarios and each 'scenario' stars two different characters. Think of it as some sort of scenario for the characters. I also use a few elements from Warriors Orochi, Blazblue, and Umineko.
There are 16 pairs (total of 32 characters) in the story so there will be 16 scenarios.
For this chapter, it's only the first part of the introduction 'chapter' showing how each character is sent to the story's main setting. We're only going to cover 9 pairs (18 characters) in this chapter.
Without further ado, enjoy!
DISCLAIMER: I do not own any characters in this fic, only a very few original characters.

Ik zie u allen.
Het is tijd.
...
Another day, another rescue.
There he is, the famous red plumber stands atop of a large chandelier hanging above the ceiling. The chandelier is rather big and quite sturdy since it can hold the plumber's weight.
That's right, it's-a him, Mario.
Below the chandelier is an enormous pool of molten lava. In fact, the entire floor is the pool.
In front of the famous hero is another chandelier. Standing on it is a large, horned, muscular turtle-like creature with sharp spikes all over his shell. Unlike the heroic plumber, the turtle has bruises all over his body along with a black bruise on his right eye.
Above the monstrous turtle is a young, blonde-haired princess in pink dress and a crown, bounded in ropes.
They're Bowser and Princess Peach respectively.
Mario gestures his index finger at the enormous turtle, as if saying to let the princess free.
Bowser roars loudly.
"You're always in my way, Mario! This ain't funny anymore! I'm gonna take you out! For the last time!"
Bowser lunges into the air.
The ferocious turtle directs his attack toward Mario in one final attempt to finish off his nemesis.
In retaliation, Mario jumps toward Bowser though even higher and faster. Since he's much faster, the red plumber is able to get above the muscular in time evading the attack.
Afterwards, Mario stomps on Bowser's head – right on his head's back – and bounces upward to greater distance. In such distance, the Mushroom Kingdom's hero reaches the bounded princess.
As for Bowser, he's not so lucky since Mario's action also forces the Koopa to drop down at such speed and he misses the chandelier. The so-called 'King of the Koopa' comically falls directly into the lava below.
You might think he's dead, considering the intense heat of the molten lava.
Instead, Bowser resurfaces as if he was actually swimming around the lava. His arms are crossed, accompanied with an annoyed look on his face.
"Oh great, back to square one again," Bowser moans.
-/-
After freeing the princess, Mario brings Peach down to the chandelier.
"Oh, Mario! You had me so worried," Princess Peach said with a warm smile, "I'm glad that you're alright."
Mario smiles back while giving the beautiful princess a thumbs-up.
"Let's get out of here. I had this wonderful cake for you-"
Before Peach can finish her sentence, she suddenly stops.
Mario immediately notices that not only the princess has stopped talking, Princess Peach is also froze in motion. She is standing right in front of the plumber with her warm expression froze, not moving at all. She's not even blinking her eyes after a few seconds have passed.
Befuddled, Mario approaches the young princess and waves his hand at her face. There's no reaction at all. Now Mario is even more confused.
The red plumber decides to look down at the lava pool.
When he does, he immediately notice that the lava has stopped flowing or even bubbling. Even Bowser isn't moving at all, he hasn't even swam his way back. The enormous Koopa is still there with his upper body surfaced from the lava.
What's going on, Mario wonders.
Mario then turns around, looking at his surrounding. He eventually looks through one of the large windows in the room.
To the plumber's surprise, he notice through the window an ominous black and yellow light...
…
It takes place in a huge space station just above the Earth.
Said space station is shaped of a sphere with a facial look; a look that everyone is very familiar with.
A blue, hurling light speeds across a hallway within the station, smashing countless robots that get in its way.
After taking out the last robot, the light lands on the next room, which turns out to be a cockpit for more armed robots. The light reveals its true form... Sonic the Hedgehog.
Suddenly, hundreds of missiles fly everywhere in the room while the robots fire their bullets from their arm cannons at the blue hedgehog.
Sonic easily dodges everything and jumps high into the air. Once in the air, the blue hedgehog homes into one robot, destroying it in an instant. The hedgehog then does the same to the other robots, one by one. At the same time, he dodges the incoming missiles.
It doesn't take long for Sonic to take out all the armed robots except for one. The last one is a giant, egg-shaped robot with different arms; the left arm is a giant driller while the other is a turret. As for its face, it resembles Sonic's nemesis.
Unlike the rest of the robots, this one is piloted by someone.
Despite its huge size, Sonic merely smirks.
The blue hedgehog forms into an oval shape and then dashes off in high speed toward the giant robot.
The robot fires the turret cannon in retaliation though the hedgehog is too fast for it, dodging every bullet. With no other choice, the robot directs its driller cannon at the blue hedgehog and fires it at great speed. Fortunately, Sonic is still faster. The hedgehog launches into the air at great height and lands on the driller while still heading toward the robot.
Evading the driller's attack, Sonic jumps off from the driller and homes directly at the giant robot. The enemy desperately fires its turret cannon at Sonic.
It's futile.
Sonic, while in his signature spinning ball form, eventually breaks through the giant robot's abdomen and lands behind it. The robot begins to fall apart before it explodes.
The pilot falls out comically from the remains of the robot and crashes on the ground. "N-Not again!" the pilot yelps, who turns out to be a fat man in a red turtleneck coat with white trim, large yellow cuffs with triangular notches cut into the side of each cuff, and gold box-compartment accessories. He also has a unique-looking mustache and wears a pair of Pince-nez glasses with navy blue tinted lenses and a gray hexagonal-shaped goggles.
He is Dr. Eggman.
The world's famous blue hedgehog suddenly appears in front of the mad doctor in merely a second.
"S-Sonic!" The doctor yelps as he folds his hands in fright, "I'm sorry! R-Really! Look, go easy on me! I'll turn over a new leaf, I swear! Just give me a chance!"
"Well, this is something new," Sonic sarcastically said while staring at Dr. Eggman. "I dunno, maybe a little stomp or two might make it up."
…
"Aren't you gonna saying anything?"
…
"Huh?" Sonic raises an eyebrow, "What's with the silent treatment?"
Sonic soon realizes that Eggman isn't moving at all. The doctor is still in his a pose of begging for forgiveness and his mouth is wide opened.
"Alright, that's enough joke, Eggman. I'm taking you in," Sonic said as he pokes Eggman's forehead with an index finger. To his surprise, the doctor falls backward while still in that pose as if he was a statue.
"E-Eggman?" Sonic leans backward in a befuddled manner. He immediately turns around toward the destroyed robot. To his surprise, he notice that the smoke from the remains of the robot has stopped moving upward as well. It was as if time itself has frozen but Sonic.
"Oookay... This is creepy."
However, the important thing that Sonic doesn't realize is that a black and yellow light has surrounded the entire space station...
...
In a large, flourish, green forest, there is a certain round-shaped, yellow being with arms and legs. The said being has a humane facial feature with blue eyes and a short round nose while wearing gloves and shoes.
Meet Namco's famed mascot and legendary video game icon, Pac-man.
Pac-man is cornered by a group of five multicolor ghosts, the Pac's enemies.
The yellow hero shows a small pellet in his right hand as he immediately swallows it. Once he eats it, Pac-man is engulfed in a yellow light for a brief second as the ghosts' colors suddenly turn pale blue.
"Uh-oh, not again!" one of the ghosts shout in fear as they begin to run for it.
Pac-man immediately dashes toward one of the ghosts in great speed, surprising the rest of the ghosts. The yellow being opens up his mouth wide and chomps the ghost in one gulp. Strangely enough, only the ghost's eyes remain intact as the said eyes quickly flee.
The yellow mascot proceeds to do the same with the other ghosts until only two remains.
"Alright, that's enough!" one of the ghosts – a purple colored one – suddenly shouts as he quickly flies toward a tree. There's something covered by a white sheet underneath a tree. As soon as the ghost gets close to it, he pulls out the sheet revealing it to be a cannon.
Pac-man glances at the cannon with a surprised look written on his face.
"Eat this, Pac-man!" the ghost fires a round-shaped bomb from the cannon at the yellow video game mascot.
Pac-man quickly dodges the explosive by bouncing to the right. That looked easy since a cannon can only be loaded with one ammunition at a time... Or so he thought. The purple ghost has more of them at his disposal.
The other ghost – a blue colored one – arrives at his fellow ghost's side.
The remaining ghosts immediately fire the other cannons at Pac-man, firing different explosives. Thankfully, Pac-Land's hero manages to dodge the explosives by bouncing left and right while trying to get close to the ghosts.
Clearly, the ghosts are at a disadvantage.
"Hey, I thought you said your plan will work!" the blue ghost shouts hysterically.
"I thought this is your plan!" the other ghost shouts as well, much to the former's surprise.
As soon as Pac-man gets very close to the ghosts, the bombs are suddenly stopped in midair. The yellow hero also notices that the ghosts have stopped moving though they still have the hysterical looks on their faces.
Pac-man makes his way through the field while passing through several bombs in midair easily. Once he's close to the ghosts, he waves his hand at the ghosts' face; no reaction at all much to Pac-man's confusion.
Suddenly, Pac-man senses something is wrong and it's not just about the explosives and the bombs frozen in time.
The yellow hero looks up slowly.
Pac-man finds an ominous black and yellow light engulfing the sky. In fact, the light has engulfed the entire forest...
…
A small, blue robot – whose appearance is similar to a 12-year-old boy – is in a street of a futuristic city.
He is the Blue Bomber, Mega Man.
There is a battle between Mega Man and a certain robot in the midst of the city. Their fight is rather intense that it nearly destroyed an abandoned building.
The blue robot's opponent is another robot adorned in black armor with gold lining and a triangular blue crystal on his chest. He has purple stripes running down from his distinct red eyes, extending down his cheeks. His helmet features large fins that resemble a cobra with a cross-shaped blue jewel on the forehead.
"Mega Man... Today, we finish this!" the black armored robot shouts as his right arm forms into his signature buster cannon.
"Bass, enough! We're not enemies, so why must we fight?!" Mega Man shouts back.
"Shut up!"
The robot, Bass, directs his buster at Mega Man and fires his black buster blast at the blue robot. The city's hero manages to dodge the blast and returns a shot that nearly hits Bass. Mega Man's rival jumps and sticks onto the wall of the abandoned building. From there, the arrogant robot fires multiple buster shots at his rival.
Sensing danger, Mega Man slides backward to evade the shots while charging his blue buster. Once fully charged, the blue robot aims his buster at Bass and fires a charged shot, which successfully knocks Bass off to the side of the building.
Mega Man points his buster at the exact spot where Bass crashes, sensing that the battle isn't over yet. "Bass, please stop this! This is your last chance!"
Unfortunately, Bass stands up almost immediately as he slowly approaches his rival. The blue bomber can see the seriousness from the arrogant robot's face, which tells the former the respond.
"Fight me seriously!" Bass points his arm cannon at Mega Man, preparing to fire again.
"Mega Man!"
Another voice calls out the robot's name.
The blue bomber looks above and finds a small ship. Inside the ship is the pilot, a blonde-haired girl, who's about the same age as Mega Man, in a simple red dress.
"Roll?"
"Mega Man, this is an emergency, you must come with me!"
"W-What?! You can't leave yet!" Bass fires his buster shot at Mega Man in an attempt to prevent him from escaping. However, the blue robot slides to the right evading the shot as his body suddenly changes from blue to brown while his arms, legs, and helmet change to dark purple. Mega Man fires a small bomb near Bass. When the said bomb hits the ground, it implodes engulfing Mega Man's rival.
Thanks to the bomb, it distracts Bass giving Mega Man enough time to escape into Roll's ship and they blast off into the sky.
Bass emerges from the smoke being slightly injured. He looks up in the sky, glaring at the ship.
"You'll pay for this... I'll find you, Mega Man, no matter what..."
-/-
The ship reaches the southern part of the futuristic city.
In the ship's cockpit, Mega Man and Roll are communicating with their creator and 'father' figure through a monitor. Their creator is Dr. Light, a short old man in your typical scientist coat. He has fully white beard and hair.
"What is the problem, Dr. Light?" Mega Man asks.
"I detect a strange anomaly all over the city. I've never seen this kind of energy before and it is spreading rapidly. I fear that something horrible is bound to happen," Dr. Light explains. The monitor then switches to a 3D map of the city showing several signs of abnormality in most parts of the city. Most of them are in the uttermost south of the city.
"I need you to investigate here," Dr. Light said as the digital map pinpoints the location in the southern part of the city, "The anomaly is very strong in this location, far stronger than the rest. Whatever you find there, you must report immediately."
Mega Man nods.
"I understand, Dr. Light. I'm on it."
Suddenly, the ship stops.
"Huh?"
Mega Man soon notice that the doctor in the monitor has stopped moving, the same thing happened to the previous characters. That goes the same for Roll, who's next to the blue robot.
From that moment, Mega Man can sense the abnormal energy coming from all over the city. The robot boy can see that the strange energies are increasing rapidly.
To make it worse, he soon notice the black and yellow light engulfing the sky...
…
A silver-haired man in a long, two tailed red with buckled collar and a black chest plate is in his office.
The office is quite gloomy and nearly empty. The furniture consists of of an antique jukebox, a billiard table with snooker cues, a sofa, and a desk along with a chair for it. The only interesting things about it are the disturbing skulls mounted on the wall along with some weapons.
The man rests on his desk while eating a slice of pizza while the box is also on the desk.
Suddenly, the phone rings. The man immediately picks up the phone.
"Devil May Cry. Sorry, we're closed at nine."
The man then puts down the phone back.
Afterward, the white-haired man continues to eat his favorite food, pizza. That is when suddenly, he senses something... Something ominous.
As soon as the man stands up, someone suddenly enters the office from the front door.
The other man wears a black vest and pants with a silver lining and a golden symbol of a cross at his back. The man has red hair, slightly long to be exact. He also wears armored arm guards and boots with black-silver lining with small cross motives on some parts of the armor. The man also has a whip attached onto the right side of his waist.
"Well, what do we have here?" the silver-haired man said, "You're a customer too? Well, if you wanna use the bathroom, help yourself. The toilet's at the back."
However, the red-haired man pays no attention to the silver-haired man as the former inspects the room, mainly the skulls.
The outsider notices that the skulls aren't humans at all. He can tell that the skulls are something else...
Demons, that's the one.
The outsider then turns his attention to the weapons on the wall. He's mostly interested with a certain claymore.
"I take it that you are a demon hunter," the red-haired man suddenly speaks.
"Oh no, I'm just the handyman here," the white-haired man answers sarcastically.
...
"Don't lie to me," the red-haired man turns his attention to the owner of the office, "These weapons and trophies... They're not something an ordinary man can achieve."
"No sense of humor? Well, that's just sad," the silver-haired man shrugs.
"But yeah, I'm a demon hunter. Name's Dante."
The demon hunter, Dante, glances back at the red-haired man.
"You're not from around here, are you?"
"Yes. My name is Simon Belmont," the red-haired man introduces himself as he places his hand onto his chest. "It appears something has brought me here to this world. I have not seen anything such as these," the points at the jukebox and the billiard table.
"Wait, did you just say 'brought me here?' What're you talking about?" Dante asks.
Simon nods.
"Tis best you look outside first," Simon suddenly said.
Dante then turns and makes his way to the front door. When he opens the door, he finds that the sky above the city is engulfed by a black and yellow light; it's possible that it's the same thing the demon hunter had sensed earlier.
"What the hell?"
Dante turns around and glances at Simon Belmont.
…
A Japanese man in a Hawaiian shirt is at a small house. The said house is actually an orphanage and it's very close to the beach.
The man is Kazuma Kiryu.
He's currently preparing to go to a nearby town.
As soon as he's ready, Kiryu makes his way outside.
"Hmm?"
What he sees is very unexpected. The sky is engulfed by the same black and yellow light. It's much bigger that it has engulfed the entire land.
"What... The hell?"
All the sudden, the sky suddenly strikes a yellow lightning bolt directly at the ocean near the beach. The impact creates a large yellow light accompanied by electrical field that slowly grows bigger and bigger that it nearly reaches the beach where the orphanage is located.
Once it's big enough, the electrical energy suddenly fades alongside the light.
Kiryu quickly makes his way to the shores and finds a large city with numerous canals running throughout the place; each is connected to the ocean.
Such phenomenon has stunned even Kiryu, though he remains calm.

Within the mysterious city's center, a boy with red eyes and shaggy silver hair in an exposed midriff and black leather wardrobe is looking at the strange light in the sky.
That boy is Haseo.
Befuddled, the boy turns around looking at his surrounding. He notices that everything seems to be normal.
"What the-"
Haseo glances at his clothes with a shocked expression.
"This is... Why am I back in this form?"
…
The very same thing happen at this world...
The legendary soldier, Solid Snake – in his signature sneaking suit and his gray-bluish bandana – watches the abnormal black and yellow light in the sky.
Where is he, you ask?
Snake is at the remains of Shadow Moses for a certain investigation.
Solid Snake remains calm as he glances at the abnormality, though he wonders what's exactly going on.
However, Snake is not alone. Not far from the mercenary's position, a man in white Assassin robes completed with a hood is also staring at the strange light at the sky.
The man is a Florentine nobleman and an assassin, Ezio Auditore da Firenze.
…
Similar event is happening at the near ruin city known as New Marais. In fact, another city suddenly appears from the south, summoned by the mysterious light above.
Atop a building's rooftop in New Marais stands a young man. The man wears a simple black and yellow t-shirt paired with black cargo pants that has a white Union Jack on its right leg. He carries a brown sling bag on his back, which stores his weapon. He has a shaved head with a light stubble beard accompanied by a scar on the right side of his face. He also has tattoos on his arms.
His name is Cole MacGrath.
Cole stares blankly at the ominous sky before looking at the other city in the south.
A storm is coming, he thought just by the sheer sight of the phenomena.
Unlike New Marais, the city is clearer and cleaner. In fact, that particular city is exactly the one from the real world though different.
Standing in a similar rooftop of a building is a different young man with very pale skin and light blue eyes with sickly gray tinting around them. The man wears a three layers of clothes; a button-up white shirt kept partially buttoned, a plain gray hoodie, and a black leather jacket with a red tribal design on the back. He also wears a plain blue jeans and black shoes.
That man is Alex Mercer.
Alex is rather intrigued by the phenomenon as he stares blankly at the unfamiliar city, New Marais.
The hooded man immediately jumps high into the air from the rooftop, heading toward New Marais.
…
Even Paris, one of the most beautiful cities in the world, has been plagued by similar occurrence.
However, the light is far different from the previous ones. The light is white and red, flashing violently as the entire city shake as if an earthquake had occurred. In a few moments, the light suddenly change back to black and yellow; the earthquake also stops.
It may seems normal by now, but in reality, the city is transported mysteriously to a middle of an island. Near the city is a large fort-like building with arch ways, towers, sewers, and jail cells.
Also, the residents in the city aren't humans at all. They're anthropomorphic animals instead, acting very similar to us humans in the modern world.
"Bentley, are you seeing this?"
A certain raccoon stands on the top of a rooftop, hiding in the shadows while watching the ominous sky through his binoculars. The raccoon wears a blue elbow-sleeved shirt with a yellow collar, blue boots, blue gloves with yellow cuffs, and a blue peasant's hat. Around his waist is a belt with the buckle shaped in the form of a certain family thief symbol. On his back is a small red backpack.
The raccoon is none other than Sly Cooper.
"Bentley, do you hear me?" Sly calls out to his friend via a radio attached in his ear. There's no answer.
Sly deduces that the mysterious phenomenon has somewhat disrupted the communication, thus leaving the raccoon on his own.
"And here I thought we're going to make the biggest heist of our lives," Sly said to himself as he steps out of the shadows and descends to the street below, intending to investigate the strange occurrence.
Meanwhile, a young man arrives at the city from the island's deep jungle. He appears to be Caucasian, with short, dark brown hair and eyes. He has a muscular physique, tanned skin, and is quite tall.
He is Nathan Drake.
What just happened, Nate wonders.
He turns his head around looking at Paris' environments, lost in thought by the strange phenomenon.
…
Two dream realms from different worlds are suddenly merged together by the mysterious light.
Although the mere sight of the ominous light can give someone the dreadful feeling, which may cause them to shiver, the combined realms look beautiful and peaceful that the black-yellow light doesn't even change the calm atmosphere.
One of the realms consists a flourish green hill where a certain pink life form resides; a little round-shaped, fluffy to be exact.
That's right, it's Kirby.
The little pink guy stares at the black-yellow light in the sky in awe. The dream world's hero has never seen such peculiar event and wonders what's really going on.
However, Kirby's attention shifts to another location when he senses a presence. The pink life form sees an anthropomorphic animal in the green field.
It's quite hard to tell what kind of animal since the figure resembles either a rabbit or a cat. The figure has large yellow eyes and black fur. The anthropomorphic animal wears a blue shirt with a large zipper pin, dark blue shorts, and a blue cap.
The figure is the Dream Traveller, Klonoa.
Living in the dream world for quite a long time, Kirby can tell that the cat-rabbit like being isn't from around his home.
Intrigued, the little pink life form runs across the green hill, approaching Klonoa.
…
A certain pair suddenly crash lands at the top of a building.
"W-What just happened?" one of the pair – an alien being known as Lombax in a futuristic armor – said while looking down at the street, noting that they're in the futuristic city. He also carries a large, futuristic wrench that acts as both a tool and a weapon.
The lombax immediately turns his attention to the other one, a diminutive robot with green glowing eyes.
"Clank... Where are we?" the Lombax said to the robot as the latter joins the former to inspect the city.
"Give me a second, Ratchet. I'll scan the city," the robot's lenses suddenly twists and moves forward as if they were actual binoculars. Clank's eyes are zooming in the highly advanced city, mainly noting the flying cars and interesting technologies around the street. The tiny robot notices that everything is stopped in motion.
All the sudden, they hear a loud thud coming from behind.
Ratchet and Clank quickly turn around only to find another pair. Unlike the former, the latter pair consists an elf-like being (only more humane in appearance) and an odd-looking animal that looks like a cross between an otter and a weasel, an ottsel as they call it.
While the elf-like being wears a blue shirt and beige trousers with armor parts on his left shoulder, the ottsel doesn't wear anything but a pair of goggles on his head.
They're Jak and Daxter respectively.
"Hey! What just happened?!" the ottsel yells as he immediately stands up while his partner gets up slowly, dazed. The former looks around his surroundings, mainly the ominous black and yellow light in the sky. "We're not dead, are we?"
Jak soon recovers from his daze. As soon as he sees both Ratchet and Clank, the former immediately charges at them and grabs the Lombax. "Alright, furball! What's the big idea?!" the 'elf' interrogates the Lombax in a menacing tone. His friend, Daxter, soon joins up with them.
"We didn't do this!" Ratchet retorts. He manages to get himself free from Jak's grasp.
"So where the heck are we?" Daxter asks as he climbs over to Jak's left shoulder to get a better view of the unfamiliar city.
"Give me a minute," Clank turns around and looks down at the street again to complete analyzing the street.
"Oh my," the diminutive robot suddenly said after thirty seconds, gaining the attention of Ratchet and the other two individuals.
"What is it, pal?" Ratchet asks.
"My sensors indicate a gravitational anomaly shifted all of us to an entirely different reality. However, the reality we're in is rather... Unusual."
"Unusual?"
"This particular reality is shifting a part of several realities and then placing it into becoming a part of this reality."
"Wait, are you serious?" Daxter blurts out in disbelief.
All the sudden, the black-yellow light suddenly strikes a yellow lightning bolt directly at a certain location just north of the futuristic city, which causes the four to jump. The impact creates a large yellow light accompanied by electrical field that slowly grows a lot bigger until the electrical energy and the light fade.
The four finds a large, dark castle resting on a very large rock, which has a face resembling a certain turtle-like character. There's also the sphere-shaped space station shaped above the castle.
Ratchet, Clank, Jak, and Daxter stare at the event in surprised with the ottsel's mouth opened widely, expressing his surprise.
"I believe that answers your question," Clank said to Daxter.
"I'm guessing this city is from another 'reality,'" Jak said as he turns around and sees a large forest to the south of the city. Clank nods in response.
"Whatever's going on, I don't like this... At all," Jak utters.
"Same here," Ratchet said as he looks up at the black-yellow sky, "I have a feeling that something big is about to happen."
