(Selected: Quentin, Zeke, Beta, Petire, Ralph, and Sharper)
After a flash, the 6 NanoCorps members are dropped right in the middle of a seemingly gigantic cobblestone street, surrounded by various buildings on each side.
“I suppose this means it worked?” Zeke says, looking at the gigantic Japanese-style building towering above him.
Quentin chuckles. “I mean normal buildings aren’t usually this big, are they?”
Seemingly unphased by any of this, Beta sternly answers for him.
“Correct, companion Quentin. Based off our current surroundings, we appear to be ant-sized just like Dr. Van Micro said. However, I do not know where we have been transported to.”
Quentin sighs. “Man, I really gotta teach you what a rhetorical question is some day Beta…”
The six members all look at each other, unsure of what to do. Considering the doctor’s words, they’d expected something much more dangerous. Sure they were small, but they weren’t in any immediate danger.
Suddenly, a familiar hologram appears in front of them.
“Welcome everyone, good to see you’re all in one piece! For a second I thought you might’ve been dropped somewhere more… well, never mind that. I’d like to welcome you all to the Soul Society!”
Dr. Van Micro excitedly held his arms out, expecting a bit more of a reaction out of the crew.
With the other staring deadpan at the hologram, Quentin speaks up. “You, uh, gonna tell us what that is?”
“Is it not self-explanatory? In this world, this is the place souls go after death. The heralds of these souls are called ‘Soul Reapers’.”
Petire spoke up. “Soul reapers? You mean those boney fellas carrying scythes and dressing in black cloaks?”
Dr. Van Micro began to speak up, but Ralph interjected. “Nah Petire those are Grim Reapers you’re thinkin’ of.”
Somewhat annoyed, the doctor continues on. “Anyways, humans are generally not allowed here, but I’m sure you’ll be able to figure things out. The inner district is where the Soul Reapers and their various divisions are situated, with the outer district being home to any normal souls residing here. With that background out of the way, I bid you good luck!”
As Dr. Van Micro prepared to turn off his hologram, he overheard a little of the conversation the 6 members were having.
“Hey, we only need to stay here for a week, right? Beta, how much food did we bring along?”
Beta turned to Sharper, opening up an expandable case. Inside it lay dozens of cans, rations, and other perishables.
“I believe our food should last well over a month, assuming we properly ration it.”
“Then let’s just hide away in one of these back alleys! None of those Soul Reapers are gonna spot us at our tiny size and we can just munch on some food while we wait. It’s foolproof!”
Ralph nodded in approval, seeing this as an opportunity to take a free 2-week vacation.
Quentin was a little disappointed in his proposal, considering he’d been itching to do something exciting.
“Really guys? Didn’t we come here for adventure!?”
Despite his eagerness, even Zeke somewhat agreed with Sharper.
“I hate to say it kid, but I actually agree with Stooge #3 for once. Our challenge was to survive for 2 weeks, not throw ourselves at danger.”
“Hey, you didn’t need to phrase it like that…”
Quentin interrupted Sharper’s quiet remark, sighing.
“Ugh, fine. I hate democracy…”
However, Dr. Van Micro was having none of it.
“Well well, looks like we got a bunch of party poopers over here! Fine, if you want to take the boring way out then it looks like I’ll just have to give you guys some extra motivation…”
The group turned around to face him, forgetting he was still there.
“Eh? W-What do you mean?”
Sharper stuttered, a little nervous at the doctor’s menacing tone. Quentin, on the other hand, was interested.
“I think you guys should get to know the Soul Society a lil’ bit more! And Quentin, since you were a good sport about it, I’ll try and give you a warp point that’s both more exciting and a little more merciful.”
He smiled and gave a thumbs-up in response. “Sweet!”
But, then another thought popped into his mind.
“W-Wait, what do you mean by your warp point?”
The doctor laughed. “Haha, get ready to find out! Prepare for transport in 3… 2…1…”
Just as he was covered in white light, Ralph looked over at the panicked Sharper and facepalmed.
“This is why we don’t discuss our plans in the open you dingus…”
And with a flash, everyone vanished, their tiny forms having just been a blip in the street. The question is, where did everyone end up?
Option 1: Follow Quentin and Beta as they are dropped into a room at the Shinigami Women's Association headquarters. Specifically, this happens to be the room of Rangiku Matsumoto.
Option 2: Follow Zeke, Ralph, and Petire as they are dropped into the home of Kukaku Shiba. Yoruichi Shihoin also happens to be staying over at the moment.
Option 3: Follow Sharper as he is dropped into the Gatonden, home to Kirio Hikifune.
