Bang!
Everyone fell downward.
NineTails was thrown offline on the spot, her chair violently sliding backward.
"Ahhh!"
She pulled off her gaming helmet, and that feeling of weightlessness vanished in an instant.
Still shaken, she patted her chest.
"Good thing my brain is still here."
Remembering the last scene she saw right...

Robin finally closed Noland's logbook, her fingers tapping against the cover as she processed everything she'd read.
"Noland, Roger... the City of Gold, One Piece."
She stared at the book thoughtfully. "The skull's left eye is the City of Gold. So then... what's the right eye?"
She couldn't help but wonder, was the skull's right eye actually One Piece?
But then again, wa...

The battle between Thanos and Hulk entered its climax the moment they clashed. Hulk came in swinging his axe. Against a pure warrior like Thanos, holding back wasn't even in his vocabulary.
"HULK SMASH!"
He brought the axe down in an overhead strike. Thanos saw the opening, Hulk's guard was down. One well-placed thrust could seriously wound or even kill the green giant. But taking t...

"That doesn't look like a good omen."
A troll with a chilling aura, a werewolf, and an orc whose origin and allegiance were both unknown.
"What do you plan to do?" Gandalf asked Garrett.
"What else can I do? Of course, I'm going to take a look."
"I'll go with you," Gandalf decided on the spot.
"Aren't you going to deal with the One Ring first?"

"How is it? What's the situation in Isengard?"
Outside the castle, in a clearing, three of them each found something to sit on and rest, holding an impromptu meeting.
In response to Gandalf's question, Garrett thought for a moment and said, "It's quiet, too quiet, actually. Saruman isn't there, and there's no trace of the Nazgûl either. What I can confirm is that the garrison from ...

Clink!
The wine glasses collided with a crisp sound. The two brothers, both commanders, raised their drinks in salute to the soldiers, then to each other.
"Remember this day," Boromir said with a hearty laugh. "Today, life is good!"
Faramir smiled back. They drained their cups in one gulp, their joy beyond words. But happy moments are always short-lived. Suddenly, the...

"It feels a little too quiet."
Garrett took out a torch and began walking up the staircase step by step.
"Saruman, are you there? If you don't come out, I'll just burn this tower to the ground!" he called out, but after waiting for a while, there was still no response.
That confirmed it. Saruman really wasn't here. Otherwise, the old man would've already stormed out, staff in ...

Almost the very second Frodo, filled with excitement, ran toward the bar, several gazes turned in his direction.
"Pippin, shut up!"
"What's wrong, Frodo?"
Grabbing Pippin by the shoulders, Frodo whispered, "Gandalf said we mustn't reveal who we are. It would put us in danger!"
Pippin looked flustered. "Sorry, I didn't know..."
Clack.

Kenji raised his glass of juice along with Haruto, Kaede, and Aoi.
Tonight, the place was packed. Word of the alliance between Konoha and Suna had spread through the village, and everyone wanted to celebrate the end of the war. Every decent restaurant in Konoha was doing record business. Yakiniku Q, being the premi...

"By the way," Jiraiya added casually, "that reinforcement's name is Aotsuki Ryouma."
The moment his words fell, Sōto and Hanzō's expressions both changed at once.

As the Seven-Tails jinchūriki, she had rarely ever left Taki except for that one time when she was kidnapped by Kumo as a child. Sh...

Kurotsuchi's comings and goings didn't even register in Madara's awareness. Meeting the Tsuchikage was just a matter of convenience anyway, saved him the trip.
Right now, his focus was on training Nagato. The guy had the Rinnegan but didn't even know how to use its ocular power. If he ran into Masashi in this state, he'd be dead in seconds.
Masashi might not specialize in genjutsu, ...

The leaders present exchanged stunned looks. The one whose face looked the worst was the officer in charge of ground security.
He shouted angrily, "You think exaggerating the facts will get you out of responsibility?"
Most of the others seemed to agree, glaring suspiciously at the few who had fled there.
The head guard tried to defend himself in panic.

Gandalf shook his head slowly and replied, "I wasn't taken to Mordor. Someone else was taken. This is urgent, Garrett. Saruman's situation is dangerous right now."
They hadn't even entered the gate yet before he hurriedly related everything that had happened to him.

Both wizards inside the tower spoke the intruder's name at once. Saruman frowned and immediately handed back the staff he had just snatched from Gandalf, who hastily seized his staff and forced himself to stand upright.

A monstrous flying beast let out a savage roar as it dove toward the tower, bearing upon its back one of the Nazgûl.

A moment later, Sam sat obediently in the back while Frodo whispered quietly with Gandalf.
"Sam's always been interested in tales of the Elves," Frodo said. "He, Pippin, and Merry used to sneak peeks at Bilbo's books. Please forgive him, Gandalf. I'm sure he didn't mean any harm."
Gandalf nodded slightly, signaling his trust. Indeed, he had watched Sam grow up himself. What ill inte...

Garrett was amused by the envoy's question.
"Sauron must have been cooped up in that tower so long he's lost his mind. What did he send you for, to come and die?"
The envoy didn't react to Garrett's blunt mockery. He kept the same attitude as before, as if he hadn't heard it. Remaining humble, head bowed, he continued:

Shura looked surprised as he tilted his head, listening to the silence that had replaced Satori's presence.
