They're in place. Alternative Title: Trash World End

“Excuse me? There is a box following you,” A Strawberry Shortcake pointed out to Himiko and her group after they crossed the cafeteria to where they could pick up their daily lunch ration.

“No there isn’t,” Himiko said confidently as they got in line and picked up a lunch tray and started going down the line and accepting food. The box did not move even as Merida put a tray with food on it. Strawberry Shortcake gave them a look and started to question them only to notice that the box moved again while no one was looking. She stared at the box and looked at Himiko who flashed her fangs and gave her a smile.

“There a problem?” Asked a green eyed chef/cook who had a ‘naked apron’ outfit.

“I don’t think so,” Nami said as she leaned forward exposing her cleavage at the interested chef/cook. “Say is that a Broshane apron.” The green eyed chef/cook gave her apron a cursory look and shrugged. While they were distracted, the box moved after Himiko whenever no one was looking.

“That was close,” Vivi said as they took a seat at a table close to where Barriss Offee, Captain Marvel, and a bunch of other characters were hanging around.

“I can’t believe it was Strawberry who noticed, “ Himiko shook her head as a hand poked out of the box and grabbed a grilled cheese sandwich and cola from the tray.

“Sorry, got distracted. She felt familiar but can’t remember where,” you whisper to them from your inconspicuous cardboard box.

“Huh, could she be someone else working for Charles and Daisy?” Himiko asked as she looked across the cafeteria/main room to give Strawberry Shortcake a long look.

“No, if she was at their home or the breeding facilities, I would know,” you comment quietly after taking a drink. “I have vague memories of coins and fire. Maybe from a casino, I don’t know.”

“Hopefully, it won’t be a kinch,” Merida said as she sat down with her tray. On seeing the confused looks she rolled her eyes. “Problem, won’t be a problem.”

“It shouldn’t be long now,” Himiko said as she glanced at a cracked wall clock. She nodded to Supergirl as she walked in the room. Himiko slipped her hand into her customized maid outfit’s apron pocket and pressed a button on a rusted cylinder device.

Ranko was looking at the clock a bit nervously. As of yet, none of the happy tea drinkers have noticed anything wrong and despite some setbacks in the Martial Arts Tea Ceremony lessons (including stray fireballs and people not understanding the surprisingly physical techniques) the lessons and conversations remained pleasant and cheerful.

A Big Barda was a shockingly avid student and had taken to the techniques with grace and prose. She was having fun entertaining some Fallout Raiders, a Lois Lane, and some Kunoichi by making their cups dance and tea flow in magical and insane streams. Android 18 was figuring out how to use various Ki Techniques with Martial Arts Tea Ceremony to better make tea and produce precise techniques. Already Ranko lost three cups due to some of the techniques shattering them into deadly shrapnel. Thankfully, those nearby were tough enough not to be really harmed other than a few scratches.

“Hurry up and finish your tea, we are already a few minutes over,” Amber announced to everyone. Ranko nodded and started to help pack up some of the tea sets and tables that were already finished up; she had to stop some of those who were messed up by the concoctions Femputer used from eating the teacups. Ranko would make some mistakes in packing causing the need for others to help unpack and repack. All the while, Amber would start conversations with the ones heading to the door to distract them from leaving.

“Hey! I’m supposed to have a spar right now!” Someone shouted as she banged on the reinforced door. Everyone jumped at the sudden clang. A Kin from Naruto walked over to the door release and pressed the manual release only for the door to let out a hair-raising groan and refuse to open.

“It's stuck!” Kin shouted as she continued pressing the button until it let out a spark and the panel’s lights died.

“Hey! What you do to door light?” An extremely tall, muscled, and thick headed Betty Rubble (from the Flintstones) yelled before she started punching the door panel causing its casing to fall to the ground and the door controls letting out more sparks. Ranko’s students and tea lovers stared at the door control’s inner workings as it burst into flames while the glob of metal and circuits fell out of the wall. The more brute and savage members nearly trip over themselves to get away from the small fire. They stare at the fire briefly before a Penny Proud dumped a teapot on it, putting it out. There was a silent pause before a cheer went up.

“Penny saved us from fire! She should be in charge!” shouted a brute-like Penelope Pitstop as she hugged the normal looking Penny Proud. “She should be leader! Not talking wall!”

“Yeah!” Shouted many of the messed up members of the crowd as they lifted up Penny and charged the door. The poor door was easily knocked over by their combined strength. They trampled Looma who had been behind the door and charged down the hall while Ranko and Amber looked at each other panicked.

“Should we tell them that Femputer’s throne room and cafeteria is the other way.” Eighteen asked as she leaned out of the hole the crowd had created. Those who remained were also leaning out the hole in the wall, watching the crowd chanting ‘Penny! Penny!’ as they moved along. Some of those who remained looked at the damage and decided to run back to their posts or social rooms to get alibis.

“Nope, they’ll figure it out.” Ranko assured her. “Probably…” Ranko jumped up and bounced off Looma’s dizzy head before she bound off to get to the cafeteria hoping to warn Himiko and James that she failed at the last minute to keep the guards sealed away. She hurried along, never noticing the crowd of brutes turning the wrong corner and blue flashes going off where they went.

You were getting impatient as you tried to get more comfortable in your box. You had already finished eating the tray of food Merida put on your box and were mostly just listening in on the conversations nearby. A stuttering character was worried that the robot dinosaur landmark had disappeared. Others were discussing the recent increase of ship sightings that have sent quite a few of their numbers into hiding when out salvaging. The sightings have caused most of the teams to stick close to the tribe’s base which you think might be bad for the shuttle team or really good since they could lead searchers back to the tribe.

“They’re late…” Vivi whispered, it has been ten minutes since Himiko pressed the button to seal Ranko’s students and guards in their room and Lusamine/Nora/Mai hasn’t arrived yet nor her groupies. Captain Marvel had shown up a few minutes in and started eating with Supergirl while giving wary eyes at everyone.

“They’ll be here,” Himiko reassured her as she tapped her fingers. She perked up as the west double doors opened and a slightly singed Lusamine/Nora/Mai entered, flanked by a Luz and Ruffnut. The room got real silent, real quick as people stopped their conversations to stare at the combined character. You stared at them through a little hole in the box after shifting the box around when no one was looking. The ash and singe pattern looked familiar to you; it kinda reminded you of Fire Flower fireball impacts.

Out of a corner of your eye, you see Femputer light up and a Gatomon (from Digimon) got up and quickly left the cafeteria out of a different set of doors. “Gatomon is likely going to inform the other enforcers that Lusamine has been spotted,” Himiko whispered to the group while Lusamine and co walked over to where a bunny eared Snow White and a Zoey from Left 4 Dead had food prepared. Mai nodded at Himiko as they passed by. It took only a few minutes before several of the enforcers started streaming into the cafeteria.

The vacant eyes of Dark Magician Girl, Tsuyu Asui, and Huntsgirl gave you a shudder as they aligned themselves at tables on the other side of the cafeteria than Lusamine and co. They sat with a Frightwig from Ben 10, a Ladydevimon, and a minotaur woman. Several other characters sat at or on tables on either of their sides as guards and enforcers streamed in. A Madame Rouge walked inside and looked at Lusamine, Himiko, and a few other people with a smirk and sinister eyes.

Some unaligned tribe members noticed the thickening tension and nervously grabbed their food trays and got up from their tables. Some left the room entirely while others remained at the edges of the room eager to watch whatever drama was brewing.

“Amazonians Lusamine, Mai, and Nora!” Femputer shouted as her dials and lights flared up and made noise. “You have harmed the male breeder and have caused irreparable harm to the tribe’s ability to increase our numbers.”

“Come on, I just wanted to make the fuck sesh special,” Nora whined her causing many of tribe members to stare at her; some rolling their eyes, others cocking their heads wondering what she was thinking.

“Irrelevant! As punishment for your transgression, you must drink Amazonian blend #334,” Femputer announced as a panel opened up and a foaming purple drink in a mug was displayed. Dark Magician Girl walked up to the mug and carefully walked over to Lusamine/Nora/Mai’s table. Lusamine’s crew stood up along with many others as Dark Magician Girl approached causing her to pause and look confused. The enforcers got up quickly and started to spread out.

“I think we speak for a lot of us when I say we are tired of losing friends to your Amazonian drinks,” Lusamine said as she (and thus Mai and Nora) walked forward. “Especially for minor mistakes.”

“Stand down and drink,” Femputer ordered. “For a harmonious and unified tribe, you must be punished! Non-guard and non-enforcer Amazonians! Do not interfere with punishment for you will be made to drink Amazonian blend #43!” None of Lusamine’s group moved and Himiko chose to speak up.

“Yeah, blow that noise,” Himiko countered as she got up and walked the few steps to the drink and knocked it to the ground. Your allies and Femputer’s enforcers immediately got up and started readying their weapons. You readied yourself to jump out of the box and flip the table to use as a makeshift cover while noting a few of the cooking characters at the edges circling around your allies.

Things were getting tense as the two clear groups stared each other down while partially ignoring Femputer’s shouts and orders. Merida was already scanning for where Ember could be hiding while keeping the thermos hidden while Nami had her clima-tact ready to run interference. Just as things were about to explode, Femputer let out another shout.

“About time you got here!” Femputer shouted as someone in loud heels walked inside.

Canary walked into the room from the far south entrance where Femputer’s enforcers and minions (willing and unwilling) were standing. Canary’s heels clicked loudly as she got into her position while a stray piece of paper flew between the groups. Supergirl was getting ready to tackle Madame Rouge once they were distracted while Captain Marvel was ready to take out Canary. Merida had found where Ember was; Ember was overshadowing the cook from earlier and had been having naked apron sex before Lusamine/Nora/Mai had arrived.

“Gra–gab!” Canary said/declared as she pointed at Lusamine/Nora/Mai. Everyone looked at her confused except for Lusamine’s group as Canary grabbed her throat surprised at the sound that came out. “Kar-cha!” Canary tried again as her voice was distorted and messed up while she tried to summon both her lust inducing voice and her normal shriek attack. You could see Ruffnut share a low five with Luz from your box. At the same time, Ranko ran inside the room and stared at the commotion. She seemed to want to say something but chose to instead stick to the sides. You figure it's for the best since while under the Ultimate Moxibuton Weakness Point, she can’t do much in a fight.

“Sorry but no more lust song for…” Mai was smirking at Canary as she played with a knife but was very quickly interrupted. Right as Canary got over her shock and the other enforcers were going to do their jobs and detain Lusamine/Nora/Mai and co, a vent opened up right behind and above Canary. Your eyes widened with glee and joy as you saw a rugged and nearly naked Diana fall from the vent and punched Canary **** with a single blow.

“I will not date you, bitch!” Diana growled as she stood on Canary’s stomach. “And I won’t join your posse!” Diana then glared at the nearest of Canary’s gang, the unfortunately still brainwashed Tsuyo Asui. “Take me to James and Gogo so we can leave!”

“That’s not happening babycakes,” Ember declared as she left her temporary host and materialized her ghostly guitar and left the cook’s body. “You’re going to be screaming my name all–” Ember was interrupted as the door to your right blew open as a blue blur barged in. The form stopped and your jaw dropped seeing an Ugly Sonic set down your Gogo who was carrying a massive backpack, a gun and had dozens of flying robots attached to the backpack.

“Eat ray gun losers!” Gogo shouted as she swept the room with a rifle she had in her hands. A lot of people hit the deck as the blue rays quickly filled the room and characters by the dozen were getting digitized and stored away by what you recognized as a handheld version of the character capture ray the shuttle had.

You quickly pop out of your box and flip over the cafeteria table to use as a makeshift cover. Thankfully, the bench on one side easily collapses and you have a stable wall to block Gogo’s indiscriminate attacks. You pulled Himiko and Mirajane down behind the cover; Mirajane had wandered in at some point while you were eating and had reached the table with the help of Vivi. You peek out to get a good view of the fight as several of your allies engage Femputer’s forces while avoiding laser fire.

Merida used the confusion to quickly use the thermos to catch Ember by surprise and seal her inside the ghost capturing weapon. Tsuyu Asui and Dark Magician Girl barely got time to realize their freedom before they were blasted by Gogo and stored away. For Merida’s trouble, she received a ray to the ass and was stored away as well. She was not the only one of your allies to receive friendly fire, Lusamine/Nora/Mai was a massive target and got hit. Supergirl was tangling with Madame Rouge and the two of them disappeared in a hazy blue light.

Captain Marvel had quickly moved most of the bystanding tribe members out of the room and defended them using an energy shield to stop the character catching rays from getting to them. This does not stop a Strawberry Shortcake from taking a header while diving behind an overturned table. Nami used her clima-tact to create mirages to paint targets on Femputer’s enforcers while hiding herself and Vivi from the barrage of blue lasers.

Finally, after a minute of non-stop firing, the lasers stopped flying. You peeked out to see Gogo breathing heavily as her rifle let out a bit of smoke and the robots that were flying around her were all except a few on the ground without any energy. Ugly Sonic was vibrating in place while holding several of the robots; soon a few more robots were recharges and glowing again.

“Hey Gogo!” You shout and instinctively ducked as she shoots at you. As a Prime Worlder, you should be immune to the character capture shots unless the device were heavily modified, which you realize might be the case. “It's James!”

“Sorry about that!” Gogo apologized as she lowered her rifle. You got up from behind the table, helping Mirajane and Himiko to their feet. You look around the room and say that it was much emptier than before. Of your known allies, Diana, Luz, Ranko, Mirajanie, Himiko, Nami, and Vivi remained. Captain Marvel had released her energy shield and the neutral characters behind her started nervously spreading out.

Of Femputer’s enforcers, it looked like only the knocked out Canary and a Gatomon remained. “Gogo, I think you missed one,” you joked as you approached as you navigated the tossed around table. She shot Canary before approaching you. It was only a few steps before Diana, you, and Gogo met in the middle of the cafeteria.

“Glad you are all okay!” You cheered as you hugged the nearly naked Diana and the oil stained Gogo. Diana nuzzles you a bit and Gogo accepts the hug with a roll of her eyes. You break the hug before asking them, “How are y’all here? Aren’t you supposed to be working on the shuttle? And Diana, weren’t you Canary’s prisoner somewhere?”

“The girl with the horned helmet snuck in and did something to Canary’s mouth spray. She then came back and loosened my bonds enough for me to escape,” Diana explained eagerly. “After Canary came back, used the spray, and mentioned there was a problem, I followed using the vents when she left.”

“I just happened to show up with the capture gun the others and I put together. I was hoping to ambush the ringleaders and get you out,” Gogo explained. “We didn’t know when this takeover was happening but we hoped to catch them off guard… which I now realize was reckless of us.”

“It worked out, I would say," you laugh it off. “And we’ll be able to get our friends out of storage at Rein Corp no problem.”

“Unacceptable! How dare you rebellious meatbags attack the tribe!” Femputer shouted.

“How is she not caught?” Gogo asked as she fired another laser at the talking wall. “I must’ve shot her a hundred times.”

“I’m not sure.” You replied, keeping your hands on their hips as you looked at Femputer. A piece of trivia ticked the back of your mind but nothing clicked.

“That’s because–” Himiko started to announce but then all the doors of the cafeteria were kicked in and many armed soldiers charged in.

“Dick back in your pants and move away from the hot babes!” Shouted a Johnny Bravo wearing kevlar body armor with 3S on the front. Various characters including skyrim guards, Halo SPARTANS, regular Spartans, a Scorpion (from Mortal Kombat), an Agent 47, and many others were wearing 3S armor mixed in with catsuited female characters with Rein Corp on their chests.

“Do not resist! You are being rescued!” Shouted a Koopa with an Inhuman Genetics(your dad’s company) uniform as he ran at you and snatched you up before Gogo and Diana were similarly grabbed.
