[Earth-146692]
In Earth-146692, Chito, Yuuri, Mikoto Misaka, Yuji Itadori, Nobara Kugisaki, Megumi Fushiguro, a female, and a male arrived in this Earth's Japan unceremoniously as their entrance to this world was met with a falling thud to the ground. Fortunately, the grassy area around them curbed the impact of the fall. Unfortunately, they have no idea where they are currently, except that they see a silhouette of a large school not far from them.
Mikoto, on the other hand, looked at her tablet and revealed that they were indeed in the right Earth when the words, Hoshinomiya Girls' High School, appeared from whence the building is.
The female beside Megumi is a young woman with an above-average height and slim yet athletic build. She wears her dark hair in two "layers" which includes two large buns atop her head and a short length going down her neck which are both bleached, she keeps a plait that winds around both buns while joining in a short length at back and bangs that frame her face, and she had green-colored eyes. She has a small star-shaped birthmark on the rear of her left shoulder, close to her neck and has tattooed on top of her left forearm the image of butterfly wings superimposed with a downward-pointing dagger. She wears a dark-colored short pants, shin-high boots and a halter top that exposes her midriff with two lengths of cloth on each side attaching it to her pants in a manner similar to suspenders. She wears a small piece on her chest repeating the design of her tattoo. This is Jolyne Cujoh.
The male beside Jolyne is a young man with a wild and aggressive appearance, he had a very tall stature and a muscular build, he has a long face with pronounced cheekbones, and hairless brow ridges, he had green-colored eyes and had a long-stringy black hair with bells on the tips and his most noticeable trait is the long & thin scar running down the left side of his face and across his left eye. He wears a white sleeveless tattered haori over a black gii & a white gii alongside white bandages wrapped around his midsection, he wears a white sash wrapped around his waist, black baggy hakama pants, white socks and brown sandals. This is Kenpachi Zaraki.
"Hoshinomiya..." Mikoto commented as she looked at the tablet. "We're right on the mark, yes."
"But we end up not in the rooftop, but someplace else." Chito added.
"Man, did Engineer-sensei make a mess up on the portal travel?" Yuuri commented as she tried to recompose herself. "We're supposed to be transported right at the rooftop?" She added as she reloaded her rifle.
But Yuuri's words were less believable to Chito.
"Was it you who inputted those coordinates, Yuu?" Chito asked in a deadpanned manner.
"Seriously? I just put Hoshinomiya Girls' High School on the device thingy back home and that's it." Yuuri attempted to reason.
"Except you didn't read the instructions, numbskull!" Chito shot back as she smashed her fist to Yuuri's head. "It's explicitly mentioned on the digital board that you need to put the exact coordinates to prevent stuff like this from happening. Obviously, a location name isn't enough, doofus."
However, Yuji interrupted the argument as he was seen at a garbage can with a nauseous feeling to his stomach.
"You okay there, Itadori?" Megumi asked in his trademark stoic manner.
"Forget about the portal fail..." Yuji added as he vomitted on the garbage can. "Shit, I'm still not used to this portal-hopping nonsense... I forgot..."
"Man, your Jujutsu doesn't even protect you from portal sickness." Nobara continued with a musing tone. "I mean we dealt with Sukuna and Mahito back home, two of the most infamous cursed spirits, in the past."
"Yeah, but those battles did not involve constant portal-hopping, Kugisaki." Yuji commented nauseatingly. "Those battles are not like adventures in Star Trek..." He interrupted before vomitting again. "...that involved stuff like transporters!"
Megumi only looked at his teammate with deadpanned eyes.
"You better get used to it, since we're visiting worlds a lot." Kenpachi stated.
"So, what's our plan?" Jolyne added. "We didn't see any traces of those Sephirot and their minions, as of this moment."
Chito took the time to ponder Jolyne's words.
"Remember what Urahara-sensei said about The Common?" Chito asked.
"You mean the worldly representation of human emotions?" Kenpachi replied at Chito's inquiry.
"Oh yeah, those places that could only be visited by those Reflectors." Yuuri added. "Though which one of those is the question?"
As the group conversed, Megumi was seen talking to Mikoto, not far from them.
"You got a positive ID on those Reflectors, Misaka?" Megumi asked Mikoto.
"You can thank Doraemon for that, because I found three." Mikoto added with a snark, before looking at the group. "So, we have some good news. We now know who the identities of these Reflectors are."
"Tell us more." Chito simply stated.
Mikoto took out a holographic device as it showed a hologram of Hoshinomiya, as well as three red blips.
"It's Hinako Shirai, Lime Shijou, and Yuzuki Shijou." Mikoto added as their headshots showed up. "And they're all congregated in the same classroom: 1-A." She added in a cautious tone.
But then another person, mostly adult-like, showed up. He is tall man wearing a purple baclava, a reddish-brown suit, black gloves and black leather shoes. This is The Spy, a staff member of the Unity Force Academy.
"Spy-sensei?" Jolyne asked.
"What did you find?" Kenpachi asked.
"About that, it is confirmed that they are in that same classroom after I did a little bit of reconnaissance work." The Spy simply stated. "That's the good news."
"Tell us the bad." Kenpachi replied.
"You might as well wait for them." The Spy replied. "The alternative is to stay at a more secluded area of that academy, namely the school rooftops, but given how the botched portal hop ended the rest of you up here rather than there, that would complicate some things." He added while pointing at the rooftops of Hoshinomiya.
"Yeah, no thanks to Yuu." Chito remarked with a glare.
"You are still hang up to it?!" Yuuri exclaimed.
Nobara interrupted the conversation as she asked the Spy.
"But is there a way besides the direct approach, which is through that academy itself?" Nobara asked.
The Spy only chuckled before taking out what looked like a strange device from his pocket. "Doraemon's work really paid off." He added, as he showed them a watch-like device.
"That guy really was a weird one, does he?" Jolyne asked.
"What is that?" Chito asked with a neutral tone.
"This? This is you only way to visit the Common." The Spy explained.
"But you said only the Reflectors can visit that place." Yuuri said. "Are you really messing with us?"
"Yuu, stop." Chito said in a deadpanned manner.
"Just some terse explanation here. If the light turns green, that means the Reflectors are in the Common." The Spy said, as he pointed at the LED. "This thing is your one-way ticket to that place, so use it wisely." He added. "Otherwise, experience this tool by yourselves." He continued before ending. "See you all and don't forget to talk to others in this place who are in need."
The Spy then used a device as a portal appears in front of them before he leaves this world and headed back to the U.F. Academy.
"Weird guy, huh?" Yuuri asked.
"Good thing we have Doraemon." Mikoto added with a shrug.
"Regardless, we're not here to cry over spilled milk being in the wrong spot of that academy, so we're starting our mission here." Megumi stated.
"Yeah, but who we are talking to, first?" Chito added. "We're essentially strangers to this place and explaining what we are planning to do here, let alone who we even are , is gonna be a minefield of a million questions."
"Don't worry." Kenpachi added as he cracked his knuckles. "We're gonna give them some real explanation."
"I'm pooped." Yuuri added with a tired expression. "So, let's get things ready for us!" She continued as she decided to run into the academy grounds.
"Yuu, what are you doing?!" Chito chastised as she stopped her friend from going into the academy grounds.
"We're not gonna stand here and do nothin', what else?" Yuuri added with an impatient tone.
"Are you out of your tiny mind?!" Chito chastised again, this time by facepalming.
"If one student saw us, we are gonna be toast." Jolyne chastised. "So stop it, Yuuri-san. We try to keep a low profile and don't want any unwanted attention unless it is needed."
As expected, the group saw various Hoshinomiya students from a distance doing their own thing of various actions.
But all of a sudden, the device that was on Chito's pocket had its light turned green and it could only mean one thing for them: the Common.
"We have more problems than that." Nobara added, as she pointed at the strange device that Chito has, which began emitting noises that were louder than a police siren.
The noise from the strange device was enough to be heard by a select group of students as they started looking into the source of it.
"You hear that...?"
"Where is that coming from?"
"We must be hearing some noises from ghosts, but that is even louder and it came from there!" One girl pointed out, directly at the general vicinity where Chito's group was.
With the group...
"Shit, it looks like the device not only has the LED brightening up, but also beeping so loudly." Chito remarked as she looked at the strange device, while trying to cover her ears. "Great, the Spy didn't even tell us!"
"And it looks like the students have been intently listening on it." Yuji commented as he looked at the students who were curious, or rather suspicious.
"Great, just great..." Mikoto commented.
Yuuri observed at the device and saw a red button.
"Chii, press the button, now!" Yuuri exclaimed not out of anger but of worry.
"Yuu, where?!" Chito exclaimed in panic.
"In the middle of that thingy!" Yuuri added as she pointed at the device.
"Do it, now." Kenpachi declared.
With no other way, Chito quickly pressed the button, causing the rest of the group to be sent to the Common as they disappeared from whence they were. The wary students from afar who had heard the unusual noise had immediately congregated the spot.
Questions outpoured immediately as some who were curious of the noise's source or the people who were from it earlier. But one of those girls, a teenage girl with an auburn hair, began creating a "scoop" regarding the noise, immediately painting it some bizarre conspiracy theory about "aliens".
"Time for some inside scoop for my journal! What should we title...? 'Strange Noise Connected to Aliens?'" The red-haired girl grinned, as she started inputting it on her phone, before leaving the site. "This is gonna be a big one after The Ringed Ladies article!"

[Fear Zone, The Common]
Moments later, Chito, Yuuri, Mikoto, Yuji, Nobara, Megumi, Kenpachi, and Jolyne arrived in The Common, or more specifically one of its Zones. They're no longer on Earth but in the emotions of whatever person they just entered.
The Fear Zone is a strange-looking forest of muted colours between dark red, dark purple, and a shade of grey. It is a cobbled world of various objects like signposts, strange plants, reddish-purple lava, and concrete walkways and ruined building fragments that seemed to strewn all over the place.
"Where the hell are we?" Yuji asked the group.
"Did we just end up in this 'Common' place?" Mikoto questioned.
"Seems to be." Chito replied. "Spy-sensei was right on the mark as the tool did point us the general direction of those Reflectors, but this place is barren."
"As strange as it goes, this is not even catalogued on the tablet." Jolyne remarked.
"Any plans?" Megumi questioned.
"We venture this place and find those Reflectors." Chito added.
"Honestly, this place is even weirder than our world back home." Nobara remarked.
"Wait until you visit our world there, Nobara-chan." Yuuri remarked.
"Let's hope those girls could help us." Kenpachi said as he brandished his Zanpakuto.
The group began their trek across this seemingly empty world. Or so it seemed at first.
"Man, this place is boring..." Yuuri added with a tired, yawning tone. "Though it looks beautiful!" She added as if her mood shifted immediately. "Trust me, this is the first time me and Chii see a real forest."
"That explains a lot why you and Chito-san really wanted to see an actual forest." Mikoto explained.
"Well, our world had none." Chito simply answered. "The closest that we had was some windmill factory that looked like a forest, but other than that it was just the stuff we heard from the books.'
Then as their trek continued, they heard some noises northeast of them. But it was not just the noises they found, but rather three silhouettes of teenage girls.
The first girl has long blonde hair worn in braided pigtails tied with red hair ribbons. She wears a ballet-inspired costume with a white and blue leotard, a short white skirt with a cleave in the front, and a transparent, purple half-mantle and chest bow. The red hair ribbons are replaced with a purple flower hair clip, and she now sports white and blue thigh-high boots. She is seen with a pink/purple magical girl scepter, which can be split into two weapons to double the number of blunt attacks, or to better saturate an area with magical projectiles. This is Yuzuki Shijou.
The second girl has short blonde hair and has a heterochromatic eye: her right eye is blue an her left is brown. She wears a ballerina-inspired ensemble, featuring a white leotard and above-the-knee skirt, with a bit of the pink petticoat showing. The short, white sleeves are of the same material as the skirt, and feature the same petticoat material underneath. Only a few elements of the original school uniform remain, the most noticeable being the white-on-blue pinstripes. Her main accessories are the pink and teal chest and hair ribbons, a pink, star-shaped pendant, and thin, transparent scarves of the same hue. Interestingly, her blue ballet flats feature heels, indicating the kind of mobility her Reflector form has granted her. She has a translucent blue straight sword. It is a versatile weapon, capable of thrusts, slashes and batting magical projectiles towards enemies. This is Hinako Shirai.
The third girl has long wavy blonde hair and pale, green eyes. She wears a ballet-inspired costume with a white and blue leotard, white skirt and a green flower barrette. This is complimented by full-length white gloves, calve-length white boots, and a green chest bow. Her primary weapon is Mr. Bear, a yellow magical teddy bear which can grow to several times its original size, and which she can direct like a puppet. This is Lime Shijou, Yuzuki's sister.
"I-can't?!" Hinako said with a frightened expression.
"Hina!" Yuzuki called out.
"?!" Hinako speechlessly said.
Moreover, it was the group of strange-looking monsters that caught the group's attention the most. According to the Spy, these creatures were the following: a group of small imp-like creatures with a hooded face known as Erythros, a winged sculpture-like creature with no head known as Sculptures, and a group of weird-looking knights with a slender body covered in silver armour known as Leuks. All of them surrounded Hinako, Lime, and Yuzu.
Chito's group had heard the situation as they slowly looked, trying not to alert them at the moment.
"We have bigger concerns right now." Lime tiredly said in concern.
With no other choice, Chito's group intervened as they prepared themselves for this battle.
"I think you're not doing this alone." Kenpachi exclaimed, looking at the monsters.
"Mind if we join?" Nobara added as she takes out her hammer.
"Who the heck are you all?!" Hinako exclaimed at the cornucopia of strange people in front of them.
"Are you... Hina's friends?" Yuzuki asked.
"I've never seen a strange, bizarre cadre of individuals ever before in our history." Lime said with a blunt tone.
"Oi, that's a really, really nice way to word it, Miss Snob." Yuuri added sarcastically. "But you will see us fighting, so get ready to be amazed." She added, before taking her rifle and reloaded it with her signature bullets.
"We'll explain later." Chito added, as she prepared her Crimson Lightning.
Jolyne then summons her Stand, Stone Free. "It's best if we help the rest of you out first." She added. "Stone Free, let's get ready!"
Mikoto then takes out a coin. "Then we'll tell you who we are!" She added.
"Battling these crazies is not what we have in mind, so bring it on!" Yuji declared.
The Unity Force and the Reflector trio begin their battle.
[ OST: Hayato Asano - OVERDOSE (Blue Reflection OST) ]
Chito came first as three of the Common Leuk ran towards her. Brandishing her fists, she quickly uses her shield to block their attacks before unleashing a Crimson Blow towards one of the Leuk, hitting the creature square into the head. This caused the creature to be thrown into another Leuk. Hinako used her sword to slash another Leuk with an attack known as Averse Bélier, killing the creature with her slashing attack. Chito and Hinako then combined their attacks as they stopped a group of Calm Erythros, killing them.
Yuuri then reloads her rifle with Anti-Magic Bullets, taking aim into the Sculpture as she fires a lethal shot to its chest, killing it immediately. However, a Common Leuk and another Sculpture tried to attack Yuuri from behind, before Yuuri unleashed a circle kick towards the Leuk and used the bayonet of her rifle and stabbed the creature from behind.
"Eat this, fucker!" Yuuri declared with a grin, before turning her rifle into a powerful cannon.
Yuuri then unleashed a shot to its head, killing the Leuk with a fatal shot to the head before firing a trick shot with her rifle towards the charging Sculpture, shooting right through its heart.
"H... How is that possible...?" Hinako thought.
"Hina, look out!" Yuzuki exclaimed, as three Sculptures attempted to charge right onto the girl.
"I don't think so." Nobara added.
Immediately, Nobara intervened as she takes out her heart-decorated metal hammer and throws a series of metal nails above her. Unleashing a violent smash from the nails themselves with the hammer, the nails turned into blue speeding projectiles, using her Cursed Technique known as Hairpin. It causes the cursed energy imbued nails to erupt with explosive force onto the Sculptures. This causes the shroud of cursed energy around the nails to expand until the point of detonation. And exactly as that, Nobara snapped her fingers, causing explosion to happen across the three Sculptures, killing them in one go.
Mikoto creates an iron sword as she proceeds to stab a Leuk through its own stomach. Proceeding to take an arcade coin from her pocket, she begins a coin toss gesture before using Railgun, while aiming her sights against a group of Erythros and Sculptures. Both of her arms are imbued with electricity, before flicking the coin with violent force. The coin moved at a rapid pace, hitting multiple of them at instantaneous speeds, killing them. Lime then takes out Mr. Bear as she uses Raccoon Nail against a group of Leuks, with the enlarged magical teddy bear unleashing a flurry of claw attacks onto the creatures, killing them at once.
"Let's see what you paper tigers are made of." Kenpachi grinned as he prepares his weapon.
Kenpachi grabs a Common Leuk with his arm and runs his Zanpakuto through the creature's chest before lifting them into the air and swinging his sword to fling them off the blade, he then grips Nozarashi with both hands and does a downward slash while firing off a shockwave of spirit energy which blasted a group of Leuks and Erythros. Kenpachi then lunges towards the Leuk army while doing a barrage of slashes with Nozarashi, ending with an outward slash that knocks and slices his foes like shredded paper.
Jolyne orders her Stand, Stone Free, and sends him to do a quick barrage of punches towards the army of Leuks. Jolyne then grabs her target and wraps them up with string before Stone Free punches them away. Jolyne then pulls out a baseball and Stone Free wraps a string around it, the stand then throws the ball at the Sculptures and upon impact, Stone Free rapidly throws the ball at them and the army got hit multiple times, knocking them out cold before unleashing a killing blow to them.
Megumi then looked at the charging Sculptures and Leuks, before he clasps his hands by forming the shadow puppet of a dog's head, causing a larger black-and-white werewolf-like dog known as a Divine Dog to be summoned. The Divine Dog proceeded to charge through a group of Sculptures and attack them with its extremely sharp claws, slashing them at once. Megumi faced off against the Leuks as one of them attempted to stab him, but the jujutsu sorcerer was much faster than them, before unleashing a series of powerful kicks and punches in a machine-gun fashion, one Leuk after the other. The resulting blows caused the monsters to be thrown into various walls and trees across the Zone, knocking them out.
Yuzuki takes out her staff as she uses Storm Daisy, whacking a group of Leuk in a very rapid manner, before she uses a weapon to unleash Strawberry Comet, causing a medium-sized comet-like object to be created above. The resulting impact crushed the charging Leuks. Yuji then activates his Cursed Energy as he fuels his jujutsu, as a group of Leuks and Sculptures charged towards Yuji. The Cursed user unleashes a series of brutal punches to the Sculptures, before unleashing a Divergent Fist to the Leuks, crushing them from Yuji's blow. Yuji then unleashed an uppercut onto a flying Leuk, ultimately sealing the monster's fate.
The battle ended as things calmed down within the Zone.
"I guess that's all." Chito remarked.
"You guys... Are you all superheroes?!" Yuzuki asked with a joyful tone.
"W-what are you people made of...?" Hinako asked in surprise.
"It's best if we discuss things briefly first here." Chito said. "Tell me, are you the Reflectors we are looking for?"
"Yes, how do you know?" Lime asked. "Normally, only Reflectors could visit this place, but none of you are even one."
"We had some outside help." Yuuri stated with a smile.
Hinako, Lime, and Yuzu were shocked and surprised at the outsiders' abrupt appearance, as they explained their reason: they were here to stabilised the emotions of a person named Sarasa Morikawa, Hinako's ballet rival with a very competitive streak who became unstable, leading to their reason to visit the Zone to collect an object known as a Fragment.
Chito's group began recomposing themselves as they heard this new info.
"So you're visiting this Common because..." Chito said as she trailed.
"A friend of mine, Sarasa Morikawa, who was a ballet dancer like me, went unstable and we had to find a Fragment to stabilise her." Hinako said as she looked at the strange floating object.
"But we didn't expect a group of monsters to show up, let alone you here." Yuzuki simply stated.
"Like you?" Mikoto asked.
"Long story, but I got a leg injury a year ago, which ended my career as a ballet." Hinako explained a part of her backstory.
According to Hinako, she used to be full of spirit and was passionate for ballet. After receiving a leg injury that ends her young career, she feels like giving up in life, and doesn't want to go to school or meet anyone. It was only her life changed forever thanks to Yuzu and Lime that she became a Reflector, as a newfound hope to defeat the Sephirot, so that her legs would be healed again.
Chito then tells the Reflectors about the existence of several worlds, as well as the multiverse and the foundation of the Unity Force and its mission to purge out any threats within the multiverse. She then continues on to tell their current mission: to stop the Sephirot in this world.
"So you people are not even Reflectors?" Hinako asked the group.
"Oh, no. We are heroes with powers of our own." Jolyne said. "Must be a culture shock when you found out how we fight. We are not like Reflectors."
"Yeah, but we're only three people against monsters, and you all go all out." Hinako stated with a slight chuckle.
"Regardless, Shirai." Megumi stated. "What was the reason behind visiting the psyche of a person?"
Hinako explained again: "In an attempt to stabilise emotions, we have to go in here and get the Fragments of that unstable person so we are ready to deal with the Sephirot themselves, given that our school happened to be a magnet for it."
"Which is our own goal." Chito added. "You're not doing this alone. We are here to help."
"Wait, how do you even know about the Sephirot?" Lime asked suspiciously.
"You can tell it to the staff of our fine academy." Yuuri said with a grin. "Besides the point, they know a great deal about most worlds, so it does not come as a surprise." She continued. "All jokes aside, we have no idea who or what these Sephirot even looked like."
"Mysterious as ever." Yuzuki teased.
After the banter, the group later took the floating Fragment as Hinako touched it as if she was telepathically talking to the object.
"What is she doing with it?" Nobara asked Lime.
"In order to get the Fragment, Hinako needs to understand a person's current feelings." Lime explained.
"In this case it is about Sara, who fears of having no purpose in her life after Hina's leg injury that led her to an early retirement." Yuzuki added.
"Man, I knew this would be like some field trip to someone's head." Yuuri commented.
"More like the psyche of a person." Kenpachi added.
"So Urahara-sensei was right." Nobara added. "We are indeed in a manifestation of a person's feelings." She continued as he looked around.
"We are all currently in the Fear Zone." Lime added.
After Hinako grabbed the Fragment, she turned her attention to the group. "Let's go back. I need to speak with Sarasa."
"Wait, we're going out now?" Mikoto questioned.
"That means the mission is done." Lime analytically answered. "And Sarasa is currently at the rooftops."
"And let's hope Hina and Sara would make up!" Yuzuki replied.
"About that." Chito said. "Hinako-san, Yuzuki-san, Lime-san, let's hope that Morikawa-san will be ready for a long, lengthy explanation.
With that, the rest left the Zone as they are transported back to the rooftops of Hoshinomiya.

[Hoshinomiya Girls' High School Rooftops, Earth-146692]
In the rooftops of the high school, Chito, Yuuri, Mikoto, Yuji, Nobara, Megumi, Kenpachi, and Jolyne came with Hinako, Yuzuki, and Lime as they were talking to the red-haired girl, Sarasa Morikawa. The Reflector Trio were now wearing their school uniform, comprising of a white sailor fuku blouse and navy blue plaid skirt. The top features a sky blue chest ribbon. Hinako's normal appearance had dark brown yes and short black hair that fully covers one ears.
The girl known as Sarasa Morikawa has long red hair and brown eyes, as well as a white sailor fuku blouse and navy blue plaid skirt. The top features a sky blue chest ribbon. She wears white knee-high socks and brown loafers.
"W... What just happened?" Sarasa asked, before looking at Hinako. "Why? Why are you...?" She continued, before looking at Chito's group. "W-Who are you all?!"
"Friends. Like real friends!" Yuuri joked, before Chito whacks her to the head.
"Can we not, Yuu!" Chito replied annoyingly.
"We're here to help this world out, but right now..." Kenpachi added.
"How do you know Hinako?" Sarasa asked suspiciously. "And who are you all? I've seen crazy people before, but a group of them at this school?"
Chito then tells Sarasa about the existence of several worlds, as well as the multiverse and the foundation of the Unity Force and its mission to purge out any threats within the multiverse. They introduced themselves to the girl.
"So you are actual heroes?" Sarasa stated.
"Yep, that's correct!" Yuuri added. "Normally we would be called off as crazy, but we are not kidding when we say we will lend our hand in helping you out."
"If we only know what the hell we're dealing with." Yuji said.
"Listen, Sarasa..." Hinako suddenly said at her friend-and-rival.
But the conversation was interrupted when a sudden quake happpened.
"Wh-What...?!" Hinako exclaimed.
"Shit, what the heck is that?!" Yuji exclaimed.
"Look over there." Megumi added as he saw a giant abomination walking from afar.
"You have got to be kidding." Mikoto stated. "We just fought off a group of those bastards back at that place and we're already dealing a giant beast now?!"
"That's impossible, already!" Lime exclaimed.
"That's the one that Urahara mentioned?" Kenpachi asked.
"That's a Sephira, Zaraki-san." Lime stated.
"We are going to fight it?!" Hinako exclaimed.
"I mean we fought some crazy Curse Users back home, but this one is gonna take the cake!" Yuji exclaimed.
All of a sudden, voices can be heard from the back, revealing two girls.
The first girl is a young woman of average height, with grey eyes and thin-framed spectacles. She has long, light brown hair which is worn in a half-up braided hair style. She wears the Hoshinomiya Girls' School Uniform, with white thigh-high stockings and brown dress shoes. This is Sanae Nishida.
The second girl is a teenage girl with long, brown hair tied back in a ponytail. She wears a white polo shirt, plaid skirt and white tennis shoes. This is Rin Sanada.
"Hinako!" Sanae called.
"Sanae! Rin!" Hinako replied, before looking at Chito's group. "By the way, these are my new friends."
"Never saw you having a strange group of people beside you, Hinako." Sanae stated.
"Glad that you're all safe, though!" Rin replied.
"Don't worry about us." Mikoto added.
"Introductions later." Chito simply stated. "And you must be Hinako's friends, right?" She asked Sanae and Rin.
"Yes, we are." Sanae answered.
"Though, what do you mean by it?" Hinako asked Rin.
Sanae then talked to the group in panic. "It's an emergency! There's um..."
"That thing over there, right?" Hinako added.
"Don't worry, we are here to deal with it." Jolyne added.
"The strangest thing is that we are the only ones who can move right now!" Sanae added.
"Can move?" Mikoto questioned.
"Of course..." Nobara added. "Nishida-san. Sanada-san. You said that only you two can move, right?"
"I dunno why, but as soon as that monster appeared, everyone just... stopped moving." Rin replied.
"But what about you guys?" Sanae added. "Why you still move if the rest didn't?"
"That's because we are not from this world, so whatever time-stopping influence that thing has is pretty much a non-existent problem for us." Kenpachi replied.
Lime then took notice of it. "That means the Sephira's time-stopping powers don't work on outsiders other than the Reflectors and the ones who wear the rings themselves."
"Rings?" Yuuri questioned as she looked at the ring fingers of Hinako, Yuzu, Lime, Rin, and Sanae. "So those things stop the rest of you from being frozen in time?"
"These are a way to stabilise their fragments and also powering up their emotions." Lime stated.
"But what about Sarasa over there?" Chito questioned.
And just like everything else, Sarasa was literally frozen in time.
"It's okay. Time has stopped for her, just like it has for everyone else." Yuzuki reassured.
"Due to the Sephira's proximity to us, right now, it's as if we're in the Common." Lime added.
"You're kidding!" Yuji exclaimed.
"We just came out from that place and this is becoming like that place again?" Yuuri questioned.
"And those two can still move because of those rings, right?" Jolyne asked.
"The rings channel our power as Reflectors, and let them share the power of the Common." Yuzuki explained.
Yuzuki then put the ring on Sarasa's ring finger, causing Sarasa to move again. And immediately, she was given up to speed over what was currently happening: the mere arrival of a Sephira had stopped most people from moving and anyone who are connected by the powers of the Reflectors treat it as if they're from the Common. It didn't take long before shock set in on her, especially that the Unity Force is involved.
"...this happens." Lime stated.
"Don't worry, we have done this once, so we're gonna deal with this thing one way or the other!" Yuji added.
"Are YOU serious?" Rin asked. "How can you fight THAT?" He added.
Lime simply stated. "We've seen how they battled, so it won't be a problem for most of us." She added in a testimonial manner.
Both Lime and Yuzuki transform themselves into their Reflector forms, surprising Rin, Sarasa, Sanae, and Hinako the most as the latter only knew that they could transform within the Common. Lime then explained that because of the Sephira's presence, they can use the power of the Ether, or rather the power of the Reflectors, in the real world. Yuzuki then convinced Sarasa, Sanae, and Rin to lend their power, long before Hinako transformed to her own Reflector Form.
"Who says we aren't joining?" Yuuri added in a grin.
Chito then uses her Crimson Lightning as she creates Crimson Hammers. "Where's that thing?"
"At the field." Lime answered.
"Let's try to intercept it out!" Yuzuki exclaimed.
Chito, Yuuri, Mikoto, Yuji, Nobara, Megumi, Kenpachi, Jolyne, Yuzuki, Lime, and Hinako went down the field as they prepare themselves. The Sephira known as Yesod is a giant abomination with multiple arms on his chest, black tendrils, three heads, and four legs.
Yesod immediately fires a purple beam of powerful energy as he directed his hit towards Hoshinomiya. However, a protective barrier protected the academy from destroying it to oblivion.
"Whoa, what the hell?!" Chito exclaimed.
"We're gonna deal with this one way or the other." Kenpachi added.
But then a curveball was suddenly thrown at them when small portals suddenly show up, before some creatures of varying appearances protected Yesod. In there were a group of grotesque-looking creatures. For Yuji, he knows who these are: Cursed Spirits.
"Are you shitting me...?" Chito questioned as she looked at the creatures.
"What the heck are those?!" Hinako asked as she saw Cursed Spirits around the Sephira.
"Cursed Spirits, at a place like this?!" Yuji exclaimed as he gritted his teeth where he prepares his Cursed Energy.
"Those monsters? We've never seen those before!" Yuzuki exclaimed in worry at seeing a Cursed Spirit for the first time. "We fought Leuks, Erythros, nada, but we never encounter a single one of them."
"It's those Cursed Spirits." Kenpachi added. "Looks like your fight here will be a lot harder, so get ready for this."
"How the heck did that guy even get access to these things?" Yuuri added as she reloaded her rifle.
Yesod only roared loudly. The battle between the U.F. and Reflectors against a Sephira and the Spirits has just begun.
