IBVS and Dreamswap crossover Version 2(?)
Both IBVS fic and Dreamswap AU by the frick-frack-patty-wackin’ awesome @onebizarrekai (They’re both wonderful Alternate Multiverses based on a few of the outcode Sanses)
I like Anon Izzy’s crossover idea, and since you said that it probably would’ve been more violent, I made my own interpretation on what would happen if the crossover happened.
This is my first fanfic, so I’m really bad at characterization and usage of good words. Whatever – I like your stories so here ya go
Out of conveniency, the IBVS characters will be called their actual names instead of their nicknames :P
Chris tapped his finger on the driving wheel to the Super Smash theme song.
“Yeah, do you have any teachers like that?” Nevin said, in the middle of a normal after-school conversation with Chris.
Chris responded, “Well, there’s this one teacher that’s obsessed with plagiarism or something. This one guy in Isaac’s group copied something from an article, so today the whole group was forced to stay after school and do extra work. But seriously, it was only one- HOLY SH*T!” Chris slammed the brakes, reeling the two boys forward.
Nevin glared at the sky and spurted out, “What is that?!” There was a huge, pulsating tear of space above the quiet neighborhood.
“Definitely not normal,” Chris said as he gaped at it. Chris veered his car around and parked it against the curb, and the two hopped off frantically.
Nevin muttered, “Wow, what the hell is gonna come out of that?”
“I bet whatever’s coming already came; isn’t this kinda dangerous for regular people?”
“Ugh, I can’t deal with this supernatural crap anymore.”
“This really – wait, is that Edward?!”
Edward heaved as he mustered the strength to catch up to them.
Nevin’s eye twitched, and he uttered, “I’m not in the mood to see you Ed; you’d better stand your guard right now.”
Too tired to care, Edward groused, “Nevermind that. Other than you two nerds, I sensed something extremely big, and I have no clue what it could be.”
Nevin shook his head and said, “Maybe the giant rip in the sky that you’re seemingly blind to?”
Edward craned his sore neck at the sputtering rift amongst the clouds. “Oh. What IS that thing?!”
Chris shrugged and replied, “Dunno, doesn’t seem friendly though. Just be a radar and find the cause or something, maybe.”
“Shut up, I was already onto it.”
Edward closed his eyes and concentrated. Nevin tried exchange an unsure look to Chris, but Chris was considering whether or not to take a photo of how stupid Edward looked now.
After a short silence, Edward spoke up again. “There’s definitely a few supernatural monsters or something in the street on the next turn, and they might be walking towards here.”
Nevin cursed. “Out of all the f*cking places, why OUR neighborhood street?! Drew ABSOLUTELY can’t see this sh*t happening.”
Edward groaned, “What can you even do about it? It’s not like we have the power to poof them away from here.”
Nevin paced up and down a short walk, contemplating his choices. “…. I’m gonna kill the monsters.”
“Wait, WHAT?!” Chris exclaimed.
Nevin immediately re-worded his sentence with, “Well, we could at LEAST attack them until they run away to whatever hell they came from. They’re monsters or whatever, so it’s dangerous to let them see anyone else. We’re the best chance this place has got to defeat them.”
Error clenched his fists, grinning. “Sounds like a plan I’m going with.”
Nevin took a breath of relief and answered, “I’m surprised you agreed with anything.” Nevin paused, then proceeded to say, “Chris, you said Isaac was still at school, right?”
“Is there any way you can get him to stop Drew from coming here? Drew is also still at school, but if I straight up tell him not to come home, he’d get suspicious of it.”
Chris gulped. “I’ll try.”
Ed flinched and scowled, “You dimwits, they’re getting closer. Hurry, get over here!” The three scurried to the last house before the street intersection, where the three “monsters” were approaching.
Irritated, Nevin insisted quietly, “Chris, are you making the call or what?”
Nevin quickly nodded. Back against the wall, Chris flurried over the screen of his phone. After a couple second of intense waiting, Isaac finally picked up.
“Hey Chris, what’s up? We’re almost done with the assignment here.”
Chris peeked beyond the corner and caught a glimpse of the walking skeletons. He lowered his voice and responded, “This is urgent; could you ditch your group? We really need someone to distract Nevin’s brother, Drew.”
Isaac’s voice grew puzzled. “Wait what, why? I barely know that broken-legged kid, and I wanna see what’s going on.”
“Please Isaac, it’s really important to Nevin, and I’ll explain everything that happens later.”
Nevin grumbled in impatience in the distance.
Sighing, Isaac finally accepted, “… Alright fine. I’ll see what I can do. Don’t go getting killed now.”
The call ended, and Chris whispered, “Whenever you’re ready.”
The three skeletons hollered as they fell from the portal in the middle of the sky, and they landed in the most inconvenient way. Battered and bruised from escaping Dream, they tumbled off of each other on the asphalt road.
“Owww, ow ow oww,” Cross hissed.
Error looked around, studying the surrounding houses. “What universe is this?”
Nightmare let out a musing hum and answered, “I don’t think we’ve ever been to this one before, and it doesn’t seem influenced by JR at all.”
Cross pumped his fists in the air, saying, “Niiice, let’s go freshen up before we get back home.” They meandered along the neighborhood in search of a corner store until Nightmare hesitated before a street intersection.
“Wait a second, what if the monsters underground haven’t been freed in this timeline yet? I don’t feel any magic except for some-”
A human’s fist suddenly bolted straight at Nightmare’s face. Instinctively, Nightmare summoned his staff with both of his hands and parried Nevin’s arm. Nevin felt crushed under his own adrenaline, and his eyes flickered cyan. Edward and Chris appeared behind Nevin, but they were unsure on how to make the next move against the two other skeletons.
Cross summoned his weapon while Error lowered his pose into a defensive stance, interrogating, “Who are you all!?”
Nevin continued to push against Nightmare’s staff in a battle of strength, yet he managed to retaliate, “We should be asking that to you!” Aiming at Nightmare’s wide-open side, Nevin swung his available right arm at the short skeleton – only for Nevin’s arm to be hauled away by familiar blue strings. Nevin furiously whipped his head to Edward.
“Goddamnit Ed, what the hell are you doing?!”
Startled, Edward stuttered, “Huh?” There were no strings on Edward’s hands yet.
“You shouldn’t avert your eyes in a fight,” Nightmare snapped. He caught Nevin off guard by ramming his shin into Nevin’s knees, which sent Nevin buckling downwards. As soon as he hit the ground, Nevin was restricted in more of Error’s blue strings.
Cross sprung up with a giant knife in his hands towards Nevin, yelling, “Don’t you dare try to hurt Nightmare!”
Error insisted, “Calm down, Cross!”
“Cross?” Chris thought. He reacted immediately and clashed his own giant knife against the skeleton’s knife before it reached Nevin. Edward took this chance to yank Nevin away from the skeletons with his own blue strings, which promptly caught Error’s attention. After Chris and Cross got a perplexing examination of each other’s sword and red eye, they both leapt away.
The two groups stared at each other with bewilderment, and the atmosphere was tense until Cross interrupted the silence with, “Ohhhh, I get it now.”
Nevin, Edward, and Chris eyed each other with uncertance before loosening up.
Error groaned, “I know I said portal us far away from them, but you didn’t have to throw us into another multiverse!”
Nightmare unsummoned his staff and crossed his arms. “It was an accident, okay? I didn’t know that this was possible.”
Cross chimed, “At least JR can’t ever find us here.”
“True, true,” Error added.
Edward coughed to get the skeletons’ awareness. “Do I have to remind you that we have absolutely no clue what’s going on?”
Nightmare pressed his right temple. “This is way too complicated to explain, much less to comprehend…”
Nevin reluctantly inspected Chris and Cross, Edward and Error, and himself and Nightmare. “I’m guessing that you guys are some magical skeleton forms of us three…?”
“Hmm, more or less,” Error answered. “Long story short, we’re alternate versions of each other.”
Edward’s interest was piqued even further, but Chris squinted at the skeletons and murmured, “I can NOT wrap my head around this.”
Judiciously, Nightmare half-lidded the human boys. “I gotta say, what’s up with you all attacking us? I get that you don’t see monsters everyday, but you should’ve at least had the caution to check if we were gonna kill you or not.”
Nevin sighed, “As a matter of fact, I was already DONE with this supernatural bullsh*t way before the portal thingy showed up. I can’t care to be more cautious with this crap anymore.”
Edward glanced up to see the portal once more, but it had already vanished. Edward raised an eyebrow, wondering, “About the portal, what are you “alternate versions of us” doing here in the first place?”
Not wanting to think about it, Cross took a deep breath and fumed, “Yeah, about that… A certain somebody was chasing our asses down to throw us into jail, and our escape route led us here.”
Startled, Chris asked, “Jail?! Were you doing illegal things or something?”
Nightmare shot an annoyed look at the sky. “Frankly, we were only going grocery shopping for our cooking.”
Error cleared his nonexistent throat. “Correction: YOUR cooking. Also, if you went by yourself, we probably wouldn’t have gotten caught.”
“Well,” Cross opposed. “I’d say Nightmare’s cooking is kinda worth shopping for.”
Nevin’s eyes widened in amusement, and Chris added quickly, “My gosh YES, Nevin’s cooking is holy enough to worship!”
Error laughed. “Honestly, our two idiots sometimes get along too well. Hey other me, don’t you kinda ship your two?”
Edward blinked, and then broke out into snickering. “The nerds, Chris-cross and emo kid?! Pfffhaha I should’ve noticed sooner!”
Nightmare was too used to it by now, while Cross grinned and rolled his eyes. On the other hand, Chris and Nevin stammered, unable to hide their flustered faces.
“Who would’ve thought someone other than Isaac would ship us?” Chris pondered. To defend his embarrassment, Chris retorted to Edward, “Why don’t you stop being a raging tsundere and finally confess to Ink? I’ve always wondered what happened in the closet.”
In awe, all three skeletons blurted, “INK?!”
Edward quivered. “You know that I HATE Isaac!”
“Well there you have it, still enemies,” Nightmare assured.
Disturbed, Error objected, “I could never see that ship working out; we barely even interact.”
Cross nudged Error with his elbow. “Well, except for that one time you tied him in your strings and unnecessarily held him in your arms.”
“WHAT.” Error shook his head. “I think we all know that me and Ink is much less likely than you and Nightmare.”
Edward smirked smugly and said, “Hah, Wait ‘til Blueberry gets a hold of this ship! I’ll get that shady guy to spread that info so quickly – Nevin, you better get ready for some revenge.”
Suddenly, Error’s expression fell flat, and he mumbled, “Blueberry… as in B-Blue?” Error had a strong chill crawl down his spine.
Nevin noticed Error and asked, “Hey, you okay?” Error attempted to shake off his lurching emotions and nodded slowly.
Nightmare spoke up towards Nevin, “Hmm, a Blue here too… Out of curiosity, is there a Dream- I mean, do you have a twin brother?”
Nevin jolted, and his face instantly soured. “Wha- Don’t you DARE try to get Drew involved with this supernatural sh*t!”
“Protecting him, huh…” Nightmare looked down with a hint of guilt. He then faced Nevin once again, warning sternly, “You might wanna keep your negative powers in check if you wanna do that.”
Before Nevin could question Nightmare, sirens started to blare in the distance. A passerby in the neighborhood most likely saw the commotion and called 911.
Chris spotted the lights of the police cars from the left. “Guys, this is gonna get out of hand really fast.”
“This reminds me of JR, haha,” Cross remarked.
Furrowing his eyebrows, Edward shouted, “Wait, you said JR earlier too! What is JR?! Tell me EVERYTHING!!”
Error shrugged it off. “We should probably hightail outta here before we confuse the hell out of more people.”
As the skeletons gathered closer, Edward tried to grab Nightmare before Edward was shoved back by Nevin’s arm.
Nevin huffed, “Chill Quinton, let them leave. We can’t have more people seeing them.”
Nightmare opened a portal, and he gave one last glance to the three boys before running through the portal with Error and Cross.
Man, I wish I was fluent in memey-ness. Then maybe I could’ve made the scenario more fun and more true to character. I’m also bad at Nightmare’s criticism because it’s so badass that I can’t mimic it. This was fun though :D
Btw, you can decide whether the ships are real or not in this fic, because the short shipping scene works whether they’re actually into each other or not. Yayyyyy.
