Chapter 2- Meet Your Champions
"Oww, my head, why does this keep happening to me?" A voice complained, masculine, by the hint of deep regret of it. The sound came from a male inside a bush with black leather shoes poking out from one side. One second ago the figure that the shoes belonged to had been asleep and was leaning back in a chair. A rather loud thunder clap woke him up, then he was stuck in the same position inside a giant bush. After a moment, the shoes were pulled out of view into the bush and rustling was heard, lots of it. This was followed with the low sounds of "Oww," "Damnit" and "Not my suit..."
The next second, the rustling ceased as a creature emerged from the bush, finally free. The human stood close to six feet in height, with black hair in an odd style that could only be describe as a porcupine-like. Dressed in a blue suit that had small green leaves on the shoulders, Phoenix Wright raised his head to look around. Both of his brown eyes opened wide to survey the area carefully.
"Somehow, this place looks familiar," spoke the Ace Attorney. Having cleared the foliage, both hands moved to brush the leaves off his suit. "The colors are-"

"FUS RO DAH!"
A few timberwolves raised their heads to look up one of their own flying. Lets call him "Tim." Tim made the unfortunate mistake of trying to leap up and bring its fangs to the neck of a male wearing leather, lots of leather. We are talking about leather straps, boots, hides, the whole viking berserker look, helmet with horns sticking out from the sides and everything. The man, in typical self defense, released a dragon shout to send “Tim” flying through the air, in a low arc before slamming into a tree. The other wolves, lets call them "Tim B" through "Tim E", turned back to snarl and howl at their prey.
The human merely raised both of his arms out to his sides and began to invoke a spell. Not more than a few seconds ago, he had completed the quest for that Wretched Abyss. He denied the plans of that Deadra. When the Abyss vanished, a thick smog covered him and blurred his vision. When he could see again, he was in a dense forest with a pack of strange wolves around himself. Was he being transported to this plane away to spite the Dragonborn? He would not give up to the Daedra this easily.
"FIRESTORM!"
_______________________________
Up in the heavens, well, not so much heavens, more like a few feet over a house near the Everfree Forest, a frame appeared. It was a rather large frame, over six feet in height and over four feet wide, the frame was gold around the edge, but the inside was pitch black. It just floated in the air, doing nothing. One blue jay that had been perched on a branch raised its head to inspect the frame before taking off to fly towards it.
"Whoa, whoa, WHOA!"
Startled, the blue jay quickly hovered back from the pitch black frame and flew away. The inside of the frame was no longer empty, but had the image of a young man. He possessed silver hair that could best be described as long bangs that reached his neck. The young man wore black shirt, blue jeans with two belts, and a good luck charm around his neck. The only odd pieces of clothing on him were his boots and duster jacket. The duster jacket was open, white with a blue trim along his cuffs, collar, and along the chest overlap. The boots were also white with a blue trim, but it had metal clasps over his toes and kneecaps.
The really odd thing about him though was that was bent over backwards, as if he had taken a boot to the head.
After a second, the young man popped out from frame. One second, he was still in an image on black background, in the next one, he just appeared in real time. Somehow, the man sensed that he could move again, so he straightened out just before landing on the ground. Or so he thought, the young man landed on a roof, instead of sturdy ground. Thrown off balance, the young man moved both arms out to move around to try and balance himself.
"What the hell?" Soma Cruz asked, looking around. After flailing about for a few moments, he managed to straighten himself. Both of his arms were still out in front of himself, knees bent a bit with both eyes opened wide. He waited a few seconds and began to look around, making sure that it was okay to move. That is when he noticed that the world he was in was no longer a city, village, castle, library, or anything even close to resemble a gothic location or a place Dracula worshipers would be at.
"Either I stepped into a Saturday morning cartoon, or some really messed up vampire worshiper high on any number of drugs thought this place up," Soma said with a frown. He took a step forward, forgetting where he’d been standing as he took a look at the area. Had he been paying more attention, he maybe wouldn’t have fallen through the roof and land inside the cottage with a loud thump.

"GEI-CO!"
Dan had both of his hands over his head into mighty fists, both eyes shut tightly shut in frustration. His black shirt with the logo of "JERK" strained a bit at the amount of anger that it’s wearer was displaying. A few moments ago, his car had just been broken into by none other than Nintendo. He knew it had been Nintendo because of the clues left behind. A picture of Shigeru Miyamoto wearing a Zelda shirt as well as a discarded 3DS. Lastly, there was a red hat with a big red "M" on it.
So why was he crying out for the blood of Geico? Because those 15 minute or less, troglodytes did not cover "video game" or Stephen King related accidents. But just you wait, Nintendo would get theirs too. Now they were both going to his list. Dan reached into his pocket to pull out a page and a pen to begin writing. On the list so far:
Eloise
Dan Hibiki and his podcast
Those things at the tip at the end of shoelaces
Mangos
Princess Celestia
Nintendo
Geico
"Now to call Chris and-" Dan stopped talking to himself and reached for his phone. Something else made him stop his train of thought though. There was something wrong with the sky, it was clear. Head turned to look up, the pale skinned human narrowed both eyes. No smog. Next he turned to look at his sides, the familiar colors of his neighborhood had vanished and replaced by green. When he turned to look back at his car, he dropped the phone he had been dialing. Somehow, when his eyes were closed in his anger shout, he had been transported from his neighborhood. His beloved red car was gone. Instead, there was a small pink pony staring at him, a giant smile on her face.
"Please not again!" The small human shouted as his eyes suddenly turned into smaller dots.
"Dan! Its soo good to see you again! Did you miss me? I missed you! How did you get here? Now who is on your list? Did you remember our promise? You haven't changed at all! I am going to give you the biggest Welcome Back party EVER!" Pinkamena D. Pie begun to fire off her mouth.

Dovahkiin is from Bethsaida's Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.
Dan is from the Hub's cartoon lineup. You know, same place that makes mlp, fim? The name of his show is Dan Vs.

Well Soma Cruz is from castlevania Aria and Dawn of sorrow, Phoenix Wright is the protagonist in Phoenix Wright Ace attorney, The Doctor.. well from Doctor Who, and that's about everyone I know
So was this AFTER the Dragonborn had acquired the Oghma Infinium when you mentioned the Wretched Abyss?
Also, lol on the Dan HIbiki podcast reference.
Typo detected. (Second "of" should be "in")
masculine by the hint of deep regret of it.
----------
Double typo. (Missing apostrophe in "he'd")
forgetting where hed been standing
----------
Triple typo. (No space between "anger" and "was". And feel free to take a second look at the sentence while your at it.)
amount of angerwas being displayed.
----------
And we meet the incompetent idiots (except Dovahkin, maybe) who, despite the atrocious odds, somehow save Equestria from it's not-so-certain demise.
I'm so glad that I started reading this fanfic. Otherwise, I wouldn't have found out about Dan Vs.
If you have a proofreader for this fic, fire him or her. Words out of place EVERYWHERE. Just saying.
Also, I'm liking the story so far (chapter 2), but I sincerely, sincerely hope you did proper research on the Dovah language for the different Thu'ums. I'd hate to be reading and all of a sudden the Dovahkiin decides to use a Thu'um. He turns around and Shouts to the heavens:
WHIRLWIND SPRINT!!!!!
Because anyone who has played Skyrim before will tell you the same thing:
IT'S WULD NAH KEST!!!!
Keep in mind, I've only read to Chapter 2 when I posted this comment. If I find that the proper research has been done as I continue reading, however, I'll either remove this comment or post another one proclaiming my approval of said proper research. Don't flame on this comment just yet, let me continue with the story.
(By the way, I used Wuld Nah Kest as an example simply because it's my one of my favorite Shouts in the game)

It is easy to complain...
It would be better If you could point out where I made mistakes so I could evade them in the future.
I'm not an expert in the art of Proofreading, but I do what I can because I like to do it, saying that he should fire me, well...
That's a little harsh, don't you think?

Why does Dan have against Dan Hibiki Podcast. It's awesome!
Also on top of that list. Eloise? Do you mean Elise, Chris' wife or another person?
"As if he had taken a boot to the head."
That made my day.
932477 I just wanted to make sure, you didn't use any passage of the Turnabout Storm ! of Fimfiction for Phoenix Wright, right? Because in one of the chapter it was said that the trial was finished, but on youtube, there is still one part missing. I'am a bit confused here
Or maybe he took a Puck to the head.

He could have turned into a boot.
Oh god, this is going to take forever... just started this...
Oh god, Dan VS FIM is in here?
Quick reference, at what point of the tumblr? Before or after Chryssi?
I don't know much about Phoenix Wright, and Skyrim and that Soma guy are odd too me... But this may actually turn out to be a cool story. Dan seems like a comedic character.
3444037 well phoenix is a lawyer from the ace attorney series,the doctor is from doctor who it comes on bbc, and dan is from the hub series dan vs. but I'm completely lost on dovah and i only played portrait of ruin so no info on soma hope this helps!
This fic is causing me to preform two actions, facepalm and LMFAO. But now I must like and favorite before reading Dan's fic and coming back. Bye.
Yes, the dragonborns instant reaction is to use Force,balance,push (Fus Roh Dah) not take out a sword and chop its head off. Seems legit. Madgod loves his champion doing entirely unneeded things. This calls for fishsticks all around!
4786546 I'll go get the bowl of custard.
I know all of them, except that Soma Crew guy. *looks up* OOoo, that guy... nvm.
Awesome chapter man, this is going to be frigging epic!
I hope the Doctor comes back, he's great!
Awesome job again!
Dan's gonna do some 'sploding.
Accepting that other fanfics and projects from the past have already happened. Curious. I suppose that's one way to do it, and at that a rather interesting one. It could stand some more explanaiton for those like us who have never seen turnabout storm and just keep putting it off...
Yes, I'm a bit lazy. He-heh-heh.
Anyway, only one I don't recognize is Soma Cruz. Did a google search to determine what he looked like and that he was from Castlevania. Thattttt's it.
