<ATSUSHI POV>

"Huh.." I blinked in surprise. What...is that? In front of me lied a weird looking..portal? A yellowish portal that squirmed with different colors, green, purple, blue, pink. They all came together in a beautiful mesmerizing swirl. I can't help but want to get closer, as if it's pulling me in slowly.

'No! Atsushi, why are you going closer to a random...portal (?). Are you an idiot? It's probably a test? Or maybe an attack? An ability user?'

["Stupid Tiger."]

HAH..? DID THAT PORTAL JUST TALK TO ME?

Before anything could be said I was sucked into the portal by a huge gush of wind.

"WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH...."

====================================

Atsushi could hear small mumbles, wait...small mumbles? Where is he?? Huh? He quickly opens his eyes in shock, attempting to jump out of a chair he was magically sitting on. Only to feel wincing pain as his arms tugged on the hard ropes. He hissed, turning his head left and right. 'What is happening..?' Atsushi blinked several times trying to see clearly. He realized he was in a room, a very dark one. Even though it was dark, Atsushi could still feel the presence of someone else in there with him. Using his were-tiger senses, he tried to sniff out the location of the other person. 'Why...does this smell so familiar..'

"Your finally awake..." said a mysterious voice which Atsushi immediately recognized.

"Akutagawa?....What's going on?" Atsushi asked, hoping for answers.

"Why are you here? Are you here to fight again? Well I'm not in the mood." Akutagawa spat.

"Huh? What do you mean? Akutagawa...can you please explain?" Atsushi was confused, where was he? Why was he tied up? What is Akutagawa saying?

"Don't act so innocent. I know what your behind.."

Atsushi Panicked.

"Akutagawa what's happening please explain why am I tied up?"

Before Akutagawa could reply, the door of the mysterious room was pushed open. Light immediately illuminating the room.

"Akutagawa. Let me talk to..'Atsushi'"

There at the entrance of the door. Ranpo Edogawa stood.

"Ranpo! Could you explain this? Why is Akutagawa here? Why am I tie-"

Atsushi looked around the room, he took a closer look on Akutagawa. "What are you wearing..."Atsushi seemed to be at a lost of words.

"..rashom-"

"Akutagawa stop.." Ranpo sighed in disappointment. "Well judging by how your acting and..what your wearing.." Ranpo turns his head toward Atsushi.

"What's wrong with what I'm wearing? Akutagawa looks more goof-"

"rashom-"

"Akutagawa." Came another voice, a voice Atsushi did not recognize.

A man with darkish red hair, he was wearing a beige coat and had little hairs growing out of his chin.

"Oda.." Akutagawa looked toward the man.

"Please leave the room, I would like to talk with the were-tiger."

"Of course.." Akutagawa left the room quickly, as both Ranpo and Odasaku turned their heads toward Atsushi.

"Uh..." Atsushi panicked, this all seemed weird..

"You are in an 'alternate reality'." Ranpo cut straight to the chase.

"HAH?" Atsushi attempted to jump, yet again hurting his wrists.

"Well, I wouldn't doubt you Ranpo but how are you so sure?" The other man known as Oda asked.

"Hm? What do you mean? I'm the greatest detective in the world! Of course I'm right. But if your really want to, it's easy. His questions. His clothes. His hair. All different. And they aren't even similar at all." Ranpo smiles to himself, clearly impressed by how fast he could deduce things.

"Uh....who am I not similar too?..." Atsushi asks.

"Oh, the Atsushi in our 'reality'. Or the white death of the port mafia." Oda said blankly.

"HUH? PORT MAFIA?"

"Gosh.., could you stop yelling all the time" Ranpo said covering his ears.

"Well, yeah..why are you so surprised? Aren't you from the PM?"

"Err..no I'm from the Armed Detective Agency.." Atsushi awkwardly smiled.

"HAH? You? In the ADA? This must be a dream!" Oda said surprised.

"Ugh..you too? You guys are really loud y'know." Ranpo said popping a lollipop into his mouth.

"Uhh..." Before anyone could utter another sound, BOOM.

Odasaku and Ranpo ran out of the room, leaving a confused and tied up Atsushi.
