@Letter Bee Then the invasion is happening a year early. Not that hard to comprehend. You said yourself these aren't supposed to be the canon worlds, but counterfactual histories that just so happen to resemble those stories. If it means less confusion and a tidier timeline of events, then I'm sure some creative liberties wouldn't be the end of the world. Besides, do you really i would have portrayed Psycho-freakin-Mantis (a man who, in Metal Gear canon was a literal serial killer) as a sympathetic anti hero if I wasn't using your guideline to how these worlds work?

@Letter Bee Well, congratulations. In one fell swoop you completely invalidated my post AND made the situation even more confusing than it already was. I was trying to simplify matters by having the siege be the canonical invasion with Heartless spicing it up, but I guess an utterly chaotic fight between two armies that came out of bumfuck nowhere works too. Thanks.

"Well that was unexpected." Seth hadn't immediately registered that he and Mantis were followed. Mostly because the city he transported them all to wasn't exactly quiet and peaceful. It was in fact under attack. Was it the Heartless? Not exactly. The pseudo-City-State of District 2 was under siege from enemies outside of its protective walls. Human enemies, a collection of fighters from other districts led by one Katniss Everdeen alongside a handful of other Tributes for this year's Hunger Games. But whether they intended it or not, they're attack on the city had a bit of a side effect: Heartless. Perhaps the chaos of the siege called them here, or maybe Katniss waited for them to show up in order to use that confusion for herself? No way of knowing without asking the girl herself.
"That other ship beamed someone down here to the planet's surface," Seth said, finally explaining himself to Mai, "so I brought Mantis down here to find out why. Didn't mean to drag you down here with us, sorry about that." not there was much time for apologies, since Shadows were beginning to emerge from the ground. They didn't waste any time zeroing in on someone wielding a Keyblade. Luckily, Seth had a sort of army of his own. Snipers appeared on the surrounding rooftops and started picking off the Shadows as they emerged.
"I dunno about you guys, but I'd rather not waste time on small fry. What do you say we go looking for my not-so-secret admirer? Speaking of which..." by this time Seth had taken off running with Mantis and - presumably - Mai in tow, "...Mantis, did you locate her yet?" From the time they first emerged from the Corridor, Mantis was mentally scanning the area around them for anyone who didn't belong on this world.
"Between the invaders and the Heartless, it's too loud for me to read anyone in particular. Either that or she's out of my mind's range. You'll have to do this the old fashioned way for the time being."
Elsewhere in District 2, a beam of light struck the paved ground and produced a young woman in armor. It looked like something out of Mythology, like one of the Norse Gods descending down from Asgard. Elise looked around at her surroundings, and scoffed to herself when scores of Shadows emerged from the ground at her feet. She was right after all, the Darkness really did still plague this world. Well, no more, now that she was here Elise would purge this victimized world of the Heartless vermin that infested it.
Without her even needing to speak or make any moves, small spots of light appeared around her feet only to produce a score of spears made of light that jutted up from the ground like some kind of spike trap. This destroyed a majority of the Shadows that were appearing. As for the spears of light, they vanished almost instantly after appearing, leaving the ground around her as it was before. From this moment, Elise began to slowly make her way around District 2. Her pace was slow but deliberate, the Heartless attracted to her because of her Keyblade and Heart of Pure Light. As they appeared, a repeat of the first encounter played out. Spears of light shot up from the ground or simply materialized in midair before flying forth to skewer the creatures.
For Elise, finding the Keyhole was actually a simple task. As one of the Seven Princesses, Elise felt naturally drawn to the Heart of this or any world she set foot on. The Keyhole called to her, as it would any of the Princesses, with a simple desire to be closed before it could be devoured by the Heartless. And so that was the direction Elise moved toward, slaughtering all the Heartless that appeared before her along the way. That Keyhole was here somewhere, in District 2. And if the crew from the Ruler of the Sea was unable to seal it, then as a knight it was her duty to do so herself.

In the distance, a new ship appeared in Panem's dimensional space. It was unknown to any of the natives, but the crew of The Ruler of the Sea had seen it before. A small gummi cruiser, mostly silver in color but with some red accents here and there. It also bore a flag and insignia depicting a Templar-styled cross, the kind of blazen that Templar knights bore on their shields during the Crusades. It was the ship that fired on the group just as they were escaping the previous universe, and evidently the ship's female captain made good on her promise to keep hounding them.
The Crusader Star
On a ship's bridge, where the otherwise normal-dressed crew found themselves among soldiers that could only be described as modern day knights - with their knight-like armor combined with their modern firearms - one such knight was unique among them. She carried no such gun, and her silvery armor was more memorably ornate than the others, plus it had red accents on the surcoat that matched the overall color of the ship. She bore the Templar on the back of her long, crimson cape. Her hair, equally red - almost like fire - was kept tied back in a ponytail that stopped just short of brushing against the back of her neck. She had a look about her, a fire in her eyes that told anyone looking that this was indeed a woman on a mission.
"So they are here, then." the young captain spoke with coldness that allowed only a brief sign of the anger and hatred in her tone. Every fiber in her being wanted nothing more than to give the order to open fire, to blast their gummi ship into oblivion. On any other day, she might have done just that, but not today. At least, not at this moment. From the moment this world came into view something down there was practically screaming at her. Was it a cry for a help? A challenge? Elise didn't know, but she did know that Darkness still lurked within that world below.
"Target is locked on, Captain, do we have your orders to fire?" asked one of the crew members. This finally broke Elise's long moments of silence.
"No," it almost seemed painful for her to say, "those idiots haven't even closed the Keyhole yet. Darkness yet plagues this world. I'm going to the surface." she then stepped on the beaming platform, but saw only confused looks on the faces of her crew, "Just because we're hunting a monster that doesn't give us permission to ignore our basic duty as knights. Now send me down there. If we want something done right, we do it ourselves."
"Yes, ma'am!" the navigator punched in the controls, and the teleporter transported the Captain down to the surface of the planet, looking like a thin beam of light shooting down from the ship to anyone observing from the outside.
The Ruler of the Sea
"So are we going or-" Seth started to say, but the ship's scanners detected a new gummi ship signal entering this dimension. Looking out through one of the viewing ports, the Nobody spotted the interloping vessel in the distance, "Of course, she shows up now at the worst possible time. Why am I not - huh?"
Seth spotted the thin beam of light shooting down toward the planet's surface. Were they sending someone to the ground level? This just put a massive monkey wrench into the plan, but Seth decided to just roll with it. He hastily threw open a second Corridor - one that would lead to the planet's surface. Before Mantis could say anything or even protest, Seth grabbed him and practically threw him into it before jumping through himself. In his haste, however, the Nobody didn't immediately close the portal behind him. It stayed open for a moment or two longer after he and Mantis were gone before finally closing itself. Just long enough for a single person to leap in after them if they so desired to do so.

How many party members is that, now? 12? Not counting all the NPCs and other periphery characters, of course. The IC is going to be even harder for me to keep track of, isn't it?
Maybe I'll come up with some reason to temporarily write my own people out for a little while to at least temporarily thin the herd a little bit...?

@DarkwolfX37 It was a flashback. That date was in October while the present scene is happening in like December.
"Um, what are we doing next?" asked Makoto, finally. He dreaded the answer, and unfortunately the look Ms. Chase gave told him exactly what he was hoping not to hear.
"We wait. We don't yet possess the means to predict Cyber Beast activity, so until we do all you can do is wait for them to show themselves. As Mr. Kuroda said, you're free to use these facilities for practice or recreation. You'll even find dormitories we've prepared down the hall, in case this mission takes longer than we anticipated." the letters the Tamers received specified that part of the prize they were selected for was this trip of theirs to be considered a week-long vacation, so for now that would have to suffice as their explanation for staying at the headquarters, although D-Connect admittedly hadn't planned for the possibility that the crisis wouldn't be solved within that allotted time. Should the week pass and the Cyber Beasts still were not eradicated fully, the company would have to cross that bridge when they reached it.
Without any better ideas Makoto decided to log into one of the computers nearby. If all he could do was wait then he might as well spend that waiting time doing something productive. First, though, he decided to check his emails. The inbox was empty, save for one recent message from... an unknown sender. That was more than a little suspicious, the message didn't even have a subject. Against his better judgement, Makoto's curiosity got the better of him and he opened the email. It was... a poem?
Makato just stared blankly. The... poem or whatever it was didn't make any sense. There were certain words and phrases used that made it strikingly insightful to the current situation with the Cyber Beasts, but otherwise it was just poetic musings about humanity and heroism that probably belonged in a comic book somewhere, "You guys may want to look at this. It was in my inbox, I thought it was just some random poem but some of it is phrased like the sender knows what we're doing. And does anyone know anybody called D.K.? Cause I don't."
