The Crossroads of the Universes (Original)

These sets of crossroads are what connect the 6 universes and keep them in harmony. If anything bad were to happen to the crossroads, cataclismic results will ensue.

Alicia, Flare, and Stare enter the topic, completely worn out.

Alicia: Uuuuuuhhh...

Flare: I'm tired... We've been walking for days now...

Alicia: Be quite Flare...

Stare: Look...

Alicia and Flare look up at where Stare is... staring. A red headed woman draped in a weird poncho is standing in front of a tall wooden pole with 6 signs on it pointing in six different directions. The sisters hide behind a nearby tree and watch.

???: This is it alright. Now I just have to know which path leads me to Copper Town.

The woman looks in the direction the Mario Universe sign is pointing and notices that the path has mushrooms and odd looking hills, but mainly notices that everything has eyes.

???: That can't be it.

The woman then looks in the direction the Sonic Universe sign is pointing and notices that the path has brightly colored plants and oddly patterned dirt.

???: Neither is that.

*There is also Animated, Original, Video Games, and Reality Universes pathes in the topic*

The woman looks down the Original Universe path. The path looks somewhat normal, with a few odd looking plants and trees here and there.

???: I hope this is it.

The woman starts walking down the path, silently being followed by the Black Cats Gang.

Aya enters the topic, walking down the Original Universe, looking depressed. The woman sees Aya.

???: Excuse me.

Aya: *Looks up.* Oh, uh, yes?

???: Is this the path that leads to Copper Town?

Aya: Yeah. Who are you?

Iria: My name is Iria. I'm a bounty hunter.

Aya: A bounty hunter!?

Iria: Don't worry, I'm not like the thug types. I help those in need.

Aya: Okay... It was nice meeting you.

Iria: Same here.

Alicia: HOLD IT!!!

The Black Cats Gang jump out from behind a tree.

Iria: *Turns to the sisters.* Huh?

Alicia: What? Haven't you seen a talking cat before?

Iria: No, not really.

Alicia: Ugh, humans.

Iria: Just who are you?

Alicia: We are...

Flare: ... the beautiful...

Stare: ... and deadly...

Alicia, Flare, and Stare: BLACK CATS GANG!!!

Iria: Wait, you're the Black Cats Gang!? I sent here to collect a bounty on you!

Alicia: Is that so?

Iria: Black Cats Gang, you're under arrest!

Alicia: HA! Many have tried to capture us, and many have failed! What makes you think you'll do any better?

Iria throws off her poncho, revealing that she was carrying her rifle. She shoots the ground in front of the sisters.

Alicia: WHOA!!!

Iria: Now are you going to come peacefully?

Alicia: Uhhh... ... ... ... RUN FOR IT GIRLS!!!

The Black Cats Gang run past Iria and Aya.

Iria: Get back here!

Iria chases the Black Cats Gang out of the topic.

Ramses and The Apathic enter the topic at different locations, but both have come from the Original Universe path.

Aya continues her way after the strange encounter with Iria and the Black Cats Gang. She comes upon the signs and sees the Reality Universe sign.

Aya: Wait, Reality? But hasn't the places I've been to real?

The Apathic sees Aya in the distance, takes out his sniper rifle, and aims at her while Ramses instead walks to the center of the Crossroads, where he should find Aya.

Aya looks and sees Ramses and gives him a raised eyebrow.

Ramses gets out his snare gun and fires a snare at Aya, which wraps around her arms and legs.

Aya falls down and struggles to get free.

Aya: WHAT THE HELL!?!?

Right as Aya falls down, the Apathic fires... barely missing Aya.

A Green Gel-Like Creature appears. It looks around curiously.

Aya: What do you want with me!?

The Gel-Creature Notices Aya and Ramses and it tilts its head.

Ramses: The 100,000 coins that you can provide. Now then, we appear to have company, and I'm not talking about the worthless pile of slime.
Ramses gets out a sniper rifle and looks through it, searching for the Apathic, who is also looking for a clear shot at Ramses.

Aya: *Thinking: Great, bounty hunters, just what I needed.*

Ramses finds the Apathic and shoots him in the hand, causing him to drop the sniper rifle. Ramses then picks up Aya and heads out of the topic with her.

The Gel Creature walks away.

The Apathic floats out of the topic, remembering to pick his sniper rifle back up.

Eelie walks into the topic, coming from the Video Game Universe Path.

Echoes is right behind him. The Gel-Like creature watches the two.

Eelie walks along the path and comes along the post.

Eelie: Actually, I don't have an idea where LWB is.

The Gel Creature continues watching.

Echoes: So, where should we start?

Eelie: Let's try... the Original Universe.

Eelie starts walking down the path.
