I Just Walk Away

by madhat886


Chapter 21

The place known as the outback in the preworld days before the end came, turning Australia like most of the world into a wasteland. Which is the setting for the world of Mad Max. The world had ended, but as is standard in the series, it's not really clear exactly what happened, though evidence seems to point to 'everything, at once'. Global warming thawed the ice caps and flooded the world while plagues and war ravaged the population, nukes shredded the already tattered biosphere and dried up the oceans, and the governments collapsed completely as they failed to protect and provide. Most animals went extinct as people ate them to stave off starvation, and everything devolved into the scavenger world it is today. Where even a small puddle of clean water is worth dying for.

Then there's the world covered in water, known as Waterworld which is the opposite of the Wasteland. The polar ice caps have melted and flooded the world. Most of humanity has not survived, and the remnants have been reduced to living in makeshift rafts and cities of flotsam. There's 'almost' no dry land left, no agriculture, and no real industry, and relics from the old world like simple technology, uncorroded metal, plants and soil are rare and worth fighting for. Which like the Wasteland world setting is slowly dying as no matter how well maintain a ship is, it will break down from rot or rust. (1)

Which people of both worlds became shock as something happen in both worlds. In the Wasteland world water began appearing in the dry seabeds, filling the empty seas with water that only the old ones who even remember what the world was like before the end. The water is salty but the people who survived in the wastelands knew how to desalt water. And clouds filled with water began appearing and pouring their fresh clean water down on dry land that hadn't seen a drop of rain in years.

For Waterworld the ocean began to emptied letting dry land to appear for the first time in years, that none were even alive to remember what dry land is like. People didn't noticed at first but land began appearing here and there as the water level drop. The water receded to the point where islands began appearing and large pieces of land rose from the land since the ice melted. Many people found themselves on dry land with only some large bodies of water remaining as the ocean return the land it once covered.

In the command center of the RV, Twilight watched as one world's water is transferred to another. She open a portal at the bottom of the ocean of Waterworld connecting it to the Wasteland world. She did it slowly so that the people of the Wasteland could retreat from the raising water that's filling the empty seabeds. She had several drones spying on people to see how they're reacting to the sudden change to their worlds. The people of Waterworld are settling on the new islands appearing and doing their best to grow plants on the new earth. As for the people of the Wasteland, are settling near the new ocean or the large bodies of water created by the rainstorms, she, Trixie and Sunset made with magic.

Twilight viewed the area around Gastown in the territory of Gutgash and Jeet, both of whom are the only ones who managed to build something even resembling a functional living situation there. Seeing that their people are getting use to all the water that suddenly came filling the dry seabed. The area known as the Outer Graves the lowest part of the Great White have been covered in water among other pieces of land, forcing many to abandon their settlements for higher ground. Scabrous Scrotus, son of Immortan Joe began having his War Dogs to gather up people to begin farming the lands around the large bodies of fresh water using seeds from his father's stronghold. And gathering as many people with knowledge of plumbing to get water flowing in the water ways that are still working. Pink Eye and her urchins who are train mechanics are making water pumps and filters to make clean drinking water.

"You really think this is a good idea?" Kasumi ask Twilight.

"Making two post-apocalyptic worlds to be more livable. What's wrong with that?" Twilight ask.

"What about the warlords?" Kasumi ask.

"Well as bad as they are they are the only ones who maintain any sense of order. All the people who live by some code of honor and rules are long since died. The ones who survive are now jaded survivors who learn the hard way what they need to do to survive," Twilight said.

"But shouldn't we kill them off?" Kasumi ask.

"Then what?" Twilight ask.

"We...," Kasumi began to say but saw what Twilight had already figured out.

"To help them we would have to stay for a very long time. We already gave them something they never had before, a homer hopeful future. And it's not up to us to help them more, but for someone from those worlds to stand up and lead people to want a better life," Twilight said.

"Just lay the ground work for a hero to appear?" Kasumi ask.

"Were already doing enough for them and also spending a lot of resources in giving both worlds a better biosphere," Twilight said bringing up two screens one is Trixie in a scout ship in Waterworld seeding the new islands with wildlife and plant life. Which are mainly plants like coconuts and palm trees, with animals like pigs and chickens. Sunset and Naruto are in Wasteland world, letting out herds of desert animals like goats, camels, spreading seeds on the now wet ground. With Naruto releasing many mud crabs who made their home around the new coast line where coconut trees have been planted. And other shellfish like lobsters and shrimps both salt and freshwater."

"Naruto really has gotten into raising crabs," Kasumi said looking at the screen with her bother on it.

"Well he did say he's through with snakes, slugs, and toads. He likes raising mud crabs and we are making some money in selling crabs to Moe. And they're so easy to care for and to feed with it just use giving them our leftovers," Twilight said. "But he is kind of over doing it by releasing so many mud crabs all over the place."

"At least we're not releasing any pest animals," Kasumi said.

"Also with how easier things will be it can soften how many people act. Like that world where that Rick, Morty and Summer went to and gave them a power source to allow them to built a more advance way of life which soften them. Seeing how they no longer had to go around living day by day hoping to get enough food and water to see another day and them having a much higher standard of living then they had before, just made them go soft. Which caused the kids to leave," Twilight said.

"And for that Rick to steal the power source. It was just lucky we were there to help them by giving them another power source and the know how to build machines, that are found in Fallout worlds," Kasumi said.

"It's nice to help people like that. They were only so hard and jaded because anything less wouldn't make it in that world like the two worlds we're helping now," Twilight said.

"Well there is always hope that someone who come along and help them," Kasumi said.

"We're just visitors and we can't just stay in either of those two worlds we do have our own lives," Twilight said. "All we can do is give them hope and make things a bit easier for them. And if they can't make it on their own after that, it's all on them."

"How about we release some other animals into those worlds. Like the ones we saw in that Future is Wild world? It would help them and the give the world more animals," Kasumi suggested.

"Well I was thinking of just adding some more water animals to the new Wasteland world seas and lakes, some land animals too. Like the Desert Hoppers you know those hopping snails who can survive easily in deserts. Silverswimmers the diverse group of marine crustaceans from the Global Ocean, 200 million AD, that fills in the niches left by most ocean-going fish dying off. But we shouldn't add anymore to Waterworld as there are enough already, well we can give both worlds nugs from Dragon Age worlds as they can survive just about anywhere," Twilight said. "But we need to give both worlds more plant life, also some insect life as well."

"Alright just no mosquito. We don't need to spread them around. Some bees, beetles, ants and worms will give both worlds plenty of insects," Kasumi said.

"I also remember that we need to use some radiation scrubbers to clean up all the fallout," Twilight said.

"Twilight what about Immortan Joe? We are about 2 to 4 years before the events of both the game and the movie," Kasumi said.

"And who will take over after him? His son Rictus is a man child who is all muscle, his other son Corpus is physically stunted, and Scabrous is too much of a psycho that Joe sent him to guard Gastown because he knew what would happen if he took over. As for the heroes, we have no idea where Max is and Furiosa is still loyal to Joe. Then there are the People Eater and Bullet Farmer who work with Joe to maintain any sense of order in the lands they control. Without them it be plain anarchy with people all fighting to be at the top," Twilight said. "That's how they survived since the fall. Inside the areas the warlords control there is pain, terror, and brutality, ture but there is also opportunity and relative safety. Outside of that there is only chaos. With a world that isn't a wasteland to live in where it's either you or them mindset, the people will begin to see a better way of life then killing someone for what they have to be able to survive another day." (2)

"You really think that will change people like Joe?" Kasumi ask.

"No but there is who comes after him," Twilight said.

The Rick Hub -

Once again the gang are eating at Moe's after they brought in the bounties they had done. Which is mainly helping out world's with a problem, like the Mad Max world and Water world. The guild they're apart of does give money for helping worlds like that, as they're funded by people and groups who like it when people go around helping others. Which are seen as an investment, as some of the worlds that have been helped have lead to the helping of some of the people who fund the guild one way or another.

Twilight and the gang have been visiting some other worlds which would had become post-apocalyptic worlds if they hadn't step in. Buying Audrey 2 from the Little Shop of Horror's world before it grew big, and turning it in to the guild. Restoring power to the Dies the Fire world from the book series by S.M. Stirling. Using many rad scrubbers on worlds that saw nuclear war. Grabbing zombies from worlds overrun by them and taking them to the guild to find which counter virus would be able to wipe them out and stop more from raising up. As well as doing the same for people from world's with a world wide virus killing everyone. Keeping the light from the meteor shower from blinding nearly everyone in the world of The Day of the Triffids. Then there were the worlds they saved by towing large pieces of space rocks away from slamming into the planet.

"With what I'm already offering to you, I'll throw in 16 cases of Spice, 30 gallons of Blue Molk, 4 kilos TAR, plus 4 kilos of Ultra," Twilight said listing off the supplies they found while in the Star Wars universe to Lobo who is sitting with them.

"Alright you get one prepaid job up to Tiger Level," Lobo said who is using the One Punch Disaster Levels for the price of jobs he does.

"Twilight you aren't being a drug pusher are you?" Sunset ask.

"No but seeing how the old ship we found in space had all those drugs in them. Might as well use them, and Lobo here is just going to use them himself," Twilight said.

"That's so true," Lobo said.

"And he's one of the most powerful bounty hunters out there. Who we can call for help and seeing how he is able to fight just about anyone in his universe. He can take one just about anyone," Twilight said.

"If I'm not doing something when you call," Lobo said.

"But won't Lobo just destroy everything?" Naruto ask.

"Yeah that might happen," Lobo agreed.

"He can just be called when we're really in a jam or don't care what happens," Kasumi said wary of Lobo who is one of the few beings who can duke it out with Superman, with the later not holding back anything. Seeing that he's immortal with no one willing to take him in any afterlife. Which happens in any universe he does die in, which the ones in charge of the afterlife there quickly learn why no one takes Lobo in when he dies.

"We could had just let Lobo loose in the Bleach Universe and let him go wild," Trixie said.

"Ooooo, I haven't done that for awhile," Lobo said.

"We don't want to know do we," Twilight said.

"You should had seen their faces when they finally figured out that their powers don't work on me," Lobo said smirking. (3)

"Well we're done eating and you're done dealing with Lobo," Trixie said to Twilight. "So let's go and see Lina Inverse."

"Wait you mean the Inverse who lives at the hub and runs a magic shop here?" Lobo ask.

"Yes why?" Trixie ask.

"You're going to her to learn some of the spells she uses right? Well she caused just about as much destruction as me in her old world. In fact that's how she ended up here as she was force to flee after she blew everything up," Lobo said.

"In blowing things up what do you mean?" Twilight ask.

"She blew up everything leaving nothing but rubble in her wake," Lobo said.

"Wait you mean like in the toon worlds where the people there can be blown up and be covered in ash?" Naruto ask.

"Yup," Lobo said.

"Wait that doesn't sound like her in the show," Kasumi said earning her looks from everyone around her who heard her.

"You do realize how dumb you sound right? This is Lina Inverse we're talking about," Jack from Bioshock said.

"That be saying like Goku hates fighting," Chichi said who is with her husband and family.

"Or how me and Ferb don't like building stuff," Phineas said at another table with his family and friends.

"Or how, I wasn't a jaded washout," Bojack said who by accident found a portal gun and ended up as a world hopper till he ended up meeting a Rick who he became drinking buddies with help him out.

"Or how, I don't try to make an snowball out of my semen after I put it into some topple ware," Muscleman said who is with the other members of The Awesomes. Which caused everyone to stare at Muscleman in disgust.

"Wow, I didn't think there's anything that would ever be something at this point would weird me out," Lobo said.

"That's it we're out of here," Twilight said taking off with the rest of her group.

"Sorry, I wanted to join in and ruin it," Muscleman said.

"Yes you did and we're getting new topple ware," Impresario said.

"And you're out of here for disgusting everyone trying to eat," Moe said as he waves for his guard bots to throw Muscleman out.

At the magic shop -

The magic shop is much bigger on the inside then the outside as it's the size of a small supermarket store. The store is being run by workers all wearing a bright red vest with their name tags on them. The store is more like a mart then the magic shops Twilight and the others have seen in other worlds. It's more like one of those marts stores with its pristine clean walls and stock shelves, with displays showing what's on sale.

A much older Lina Inverse who still wore the same outfit is at the counter talking to Bayonetta and Jeanne, is what Twilight and the others walk into when they enter the shop. From the looks of things, Lina had used something to alter her body to a taller and much, much bustier figure. Which she went overboard to the point that she stands at 8 feet tall with breasts so big that if she was standing backwards and her arms at her sides, you could still see the sides of her breasts. Both Bayonetta and Jeanne stand around 7 feet and are very sexy but both of them standing next to Lina look like young teenage girls trying to compared themselves to a fully mature full figured woman.

"Welcome to the shop," Lina said seeing Twilight and the others coming in.

"Look Jeanne the group that cause a big fuss in that Bleach/My Goddess world," Bayonetta said.

"Oh so that's them," Jeanne said.

"Not bad for newbies," Bayonetta said.

"Newbies?" Naruto ask.

"Yes newbies. Around here there are plenty of people who have done what your group have done and on a much larger scale," Bayonetta said.

"Your group are just a side note in the paper. To make headline news well you have to do something really big. The issue your group was in had a group of Burger King kids taking on the Star War's empire, mix with sith Reapers, tamed xenomorphs, and Convert forces all under the rule of the dark lord of the sith emperor. And they did it with no special skills or powers before they accidentally found a portal machine sending them to that crossover universe. They learn on their feet as they found themselves in a world where they didn't even speak basic, they had to learn everything on their own. That's more impressive then someone who is already talented in something and finding themselves in a world where they can actually use those skills," Jeanne explains. (4)

"Too much big fish in a small pond," Lina said.

"Well we did buy advance tech and weapons from here and there. Then there's what we get from Rick," Twilight said.

"And using something that most people don't use, common sense," Sunset said.

"I never realized what lack of common sense my world had before it was pointed out to me," Naruto said.

"Makes me wonder what will happen when we get back to my world," Kasumi said.

"Well never mind that," Trixie said as she walks up to the counter and look up at Lina's face. "I would like a book or any learning device that can teach the spells you use."

"Oh that," Lina said as she pointed to one of the shelves that held some devices that look like the TM machines from Pokemon. "Over there all you need is to buy one of those TMs and use it on yourself. The spell labeled on it you will learn how to be able to use."

"Really it's that easy here?" Twilight ask.

"Pokemon world where it's the humans who battle for their pokemon trainers by using magic. It's easier for me to do this then it is for me to actually train someone," Lina said.

"And that you'll be thrown out if you did after what happen the last time," Bayonetta said.

"What happen last time?" Naruto ask.

"Forget it. I don't want to talk about it," Lina said.

"So all the spells you know are on those TMs?" Sunset ask.

"Yes and they're one time use. And the prices for them are mark on the shelves," Lina said.

"Can, I learn spells?" Naruto ask.

Lina pulled out what looks like a scanner and used it on him and the others.

"Nope you don't have magic as does Kasumi. You two can still use magic items but for casting spells, sorry you two can't. Unless you use a magic infusion thing which allows you to use magic. But that's costly and I don't do it here," Lina said.

"Wow girls we're huge!" the voice of Sailormoon shouted out getting their attention.

Looking to where the voice came from they saw it's the cast of Sailormoon from cannon the inner scouts who are standing in front of their counterparts who came from Warhammer 40000 universe. The five scouts from the 40K verse are all dress in power armor that made them much bigger then they're really are. And unlike the cannon scouts all have the faces of battle harden soldiers.

"It's the armor," the 40K Moon snaps at her.

"Hey... don't be mean," Sailormoon said.

"Oh great another cry baby," 40K Moon said.

"Cry baby?" Sailormoon ask.

"Yes a cry baby and a soft one at that. Let me guess if your ward is knock out of your hand you're completely helpless. You maybe from a cannon verse but I haven't met one yet who be able to deal with what, I have to deal with daily. From the chaos gods or their followers spreading their madness, xenos launching attacks, planet wide riots, fighting in war zones with armies in the millions on both sides, and with me being the daughter of the Emperor of Mankind having to keep it all together. You are expected to lead a small star system if you ever expand beyond Earth that is which many don't once they become queen. I on the other hand deal with a galaxy wide empire with threats that are either as strong or stronger then any of the so called villains your group ever had to faced. And they're not stupid like the villains your group deal with in only sending a monster of the week and having vast armies. If I was anything like you, I would be dead a long time ago," 40K Moon explain to Sailormoon before walking out of the store with her scouts following her.

"Does that happen alot here?" Kasumi ask remembering Twilight meeting her counterpart.

"You should see how my counterparts react seeing me," Lina said.

"But yes many of the more you can say harden ones, look down upon their softer cannon counterparts," Jeanne said.

"Many people from a cannon world don't last long as they're too use to things just going their way or it's just how their universe works. And when they suddenly find themselves facing people who aren't dumb or do things like they're use to or they're not the center of attention with people going out of their way to help them in some way. They simply lose it in some cases and get themselves either in trouble or end up dead," Bayonetta said.

"Hey you two are skilled fighters right?" Sunset ask.

"Yes we are," Jeanne said.

"Then you two would know where I can pick up some fighting skills," Sunset said.

"Oh there's the training planet run by some Rick's who put up an immortal field on it. You can't die as long as the field is up so you can learn fast as you can go all out without having to hold back because of fear of dying or being crippled. In fact I can train you and anyone else who wants to learn," Bayonetta said.

"Really but what's the cost?" Sunset ask.

"Just look at her and Jeanne. Both of them are the kind of women who you need a safe word for," Lina said causing Sunset eyes to widen.

"Well that or your group can help us out when we need someone to go and get something for us," Bayonetta said.

"Besides we have a week before we need to be somewhere. So we're only going to be training your group who want to learn for only a week," Jeanne said.

"Ok," Sunset said.

"I could learn something in fighting against magic users," Kasumi said.

"Well then after your group gets what you all came for we can start," Bayonetta said smirking.

"You're going to be killing us alot aren't you?" Twilight ask.

"Yes but you can't die. It's the same logic in how Deadpool is so skillful. Since he can't die he just keeps on fighting and learns to be able to counter what kills him the last time. But of course unlike him after training in the immortal field training grounds, you have to remember that you can no longer take killing blows," Jeanne said.

"Well we do have extra life items from game worlds," Trixie said.

"Smart," Lina spoke up.

"Well only do that to us when we're training," Kasumi said.

"Don't worry we won't be killing you when we're not on the training grounds. The Rick's who run that planet also use it as a high price resort for a guilt free vacation where people can do what they want without worrying about killing themselves. Which they charge you more if you don't follow the rules they set down in the places where you can do certain activities. And while the guest are immortal, the buildings and other items aren't so they setup rules to keep the damages cost down," Bayonetta said.

"Wait how much will this cost?" Twilight ask.

"Well if your group pays for our stay at the resort we'll train you all for free," Jeanne said.

"It's very expensive isn't it?" Twilight ask Lina.

"Yup," Lina said.

"There's always a catch," Sunset mutters.
