The Okamirune AU/CO
( it’s a working title )
Tumblr media
Before I start my rambling: this whole crossover/AU is HEAVILY inspired by the fanfic Ammytale by commenter! I’d recommend giving it a read ( it’s got one of the most impressive written boss fights I’ve read in ages, but it hasn’t been updated in over a year, so be ready to sit and be sad about that )
the tldr; the story kind of just as seamlessly as possible integrates Amaterasu from Okami into the story of Deltarune and makes her part of the Fun/Fuck gang / Lancer Fan Club. A full manuscript is under the cut for longevity!
So in this crossover a stray dog just suddenly turned up one day, funnily enough not too long before Kris started feeling the effects of Someone Else’s Soul In Their Body. Nobody really paid it any mind but it was pretty friendly, often coming up to people or picking things up for those who dropped or lost possessions outside. It seemed to take a particular interest in Kris when it spotted them, but never really approached them or pushed them to a point.
During the events of Deltarune, the dog somehow sneaks into the school right as Susie and Kris are heading to the closet. Susie is naturally startled by the fact that a goddamn dog made it inside the school, and opts for it to check out the closet ahead of the other two. They follow it in after they hear a bark from inside, and everything proceeds as textbook for our canonical heroes.
When Susie and Kris make it to the castle, they find the hooded Ralsei having a chat with a wolf that looks vaguely like the stray dog that’s been following them, except it’s a brighter white with cherry red markings and hosts a mirror on it’s back - as a quick design note, Solar Flare in the Dark World has blue, green, and pink fires only, rather than the rainbow of colour it usually bares. It’s *~*symbolic*~*!
Lancer turns up, and the dog is part of the party - at this point her name can be seen along the party roster at the bottom as ‘Ammy’ & while her hp is almost ridiculously higher than Kris and Susie’s, she seemingly cannot attack - leaving her only options to ACT, DEFEND, and SPARE.
Things go as textbook - when Susie leaves, Ammy sticks with Kris and Ralsei for awhile, participating in their shenanigans (during the dummy tutorial she can ACT - she can’t hug Ralsei like Kris, but she certainly can hop up and cover him in doggy kisses) up until the maze in the Field of Hopes and Dreams, when she seems to catch a scent and rushes ahead. She can be recovered by the decimated cake later, where she rejoins after being awoken from a nap. It’s to be noted that she has cake crumbs all over her face, suggesting she joined Susie in devouring the treat.
And the game is basically like that from there - Ammy bounces between being part of Kris and Ralsei’s squad or hanging out with Susie and, later, Lancer (Susie voices her frustration about this in the room where they’re lazing around while Rudiins fan them with leaves; “Look, dude, if you wanna hang with us, that’s chill… But you need to pick a side! You can’t be on The Fuck Squad and the Dark Fuck Squad at the same time!” “Bork!” “Ugh…”)
She ends up with Susie in the dungeon, and they go their separate ways when Susie manages to solve the puzzle unlocking their cage. Her cutscene with Lancer plays out like normal, but when she goes to recover Ralsei and Kris, Ammy’s already freed them (somehow…) and they’re able to move on.
Ammy visibly likes: Head Hathy, the animal crackers, and Roulxs.
Ammy visibly dislikes: Any mentions of the King, the Knight, and Jevil.
Ammy takes larger damage than usual during Jevil’s fight, and it’s one of the only two times she’s able to ATTACK. Her attack comes in three hits, however, syncing with the way she swings her reflector in Okami - a side swing, an uppercut, and a final bash before the reflector returns to its place. The sight of the key and pieces of it make her uneasy, and there’s a brief line of dialogue when he’s beaten where she seems worried, but relieved.
The King fight goes as scripted, though two new options show up for Ammy’s ACT: Pray, which puts her out of commission for a round but boosts TP massively, and Sunrise, which causes her to howl and summon a blinding beam of light to attack the King - it deals massive damage, but takes 100% TP.
She lends her strength to Susie when the King threatens Kris’ life via a power slash along with her red buster.
At the very end of the game, instead of being shocked by Ralsei’s true form, Ammy seems pleased and excited. She also reacts with excitement when they return to say goodbye to everyone, and while Kris interacts with NPCs, her sprite can be seen approaching them in the background, playing a licking animation when she’s close enough.
She stays with the both of them when they finally leave to close the fountain properly. Susie remarks that while she and Kris lost their cool looks when they returned to their world, Ammy seemed to retain her red markings, though not her weapon. Dialogue implies that Kris does not see it. Ammy’s sprite has not changed, either.
Ammy leaves with Susie, too, at an invitation to stay somewhere warm “since, y’know, you’re just a stray, and it gets cold during fall.” However, she pauses just after Susie leaves, staring at Kris, and a dialogue box says something along the lines of * She seems to be worried… before she buggers off for good, leaving Kris to explore Hometown on their own.

Ken Rants About “Vanishing World” for Probably Way Too Long
Good evening. My name is Ken, I am a dumb, overanalyzing nerd, and I have completely fallen for the narrative Vocaloid producer Grey (a.k.a. Monstrosity) has set up in the first two songs of her series, Vanishing World. I know only two out of the ten-ish-maybe? songs have been released so far, but I’ve been stewing on my thoughts for a while now and I felt that I absolutely needed to get them down somewhere. in this essay i will- I hope that people are able to see this and possibly be interested in checking the series out? I just feel like it deserves a lot more attention. I highly recommend listening to all the work on her channel. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrq2qxXTl7u-YKeSqIJ5xZA Now, without further ado, I give you my analysis. i feel like im giving myself too much credit for my hyperfocused ramblings lol
WARNING!
This writing discusses themes of mass death and other death related subject matter. If you are disturbed by these things, then please proceed with caution. Stay safe.
Basic Plot Summary
Vanishing World is the story of the end of the world, and the beasts who cause it. One beast for every element or force of nature or whatever. So far, they seem to choose a human to “cooperate” with in order the wreak their havoc on Earth. Human resistances rise up around the world, although not much information has been provided about them yet. Our story begins in the twenty-fifth day of the month of June, they year 2000.......
Part 1: Aberrant Garden 
Kaylee Tagetes was a young girl with a remarkable, and almost scary, gift for gardening. However, as she grew, she spiraled out of control. She began fusing plants with other forms of existence, creating a deadly army for the first destruction god, Carnation. where are your parents??? Also she had this weird flower with a face growing out of her head, but I don’t think it’s that relevant also it just scares me so I’m just gonna ignore it unless I think something up about it, ok? Ok.
An investigator dispatched to “the site of the anomaly (I’m assuming this is Kaylee’s house)” finds this information and more inside of a conveniently placed exposition note that was probably just lying on the ground I guess. 
Some important things I want to highlight in the note:
“However, as she grew older, she became... curious about something. Almost like a mysterious force was feeding her thoughts. What was this thing she was curious about, you ask? Simple!
...”By what means? That part... shall remain a mystery.”
“...and it was at that moment when she was poisoned by a spider monster. Acid flowed through her veins. She fell, passed out from blood loss. Probably dead.”
“‘My name is Carnation, the Monster of Flora. You shall hear more about me in the afterlife- your time is up.’“
“Into a giant maw she was dropped... no one ever saw her again as Kaylee Tagetes.”
What these things mean (probably):
Every beast is able to get into the mind of its host and pretty much possess them and lead them to do what they want.
Whoever wrote the note wants the process of monster creation to remain a mystery.
Probably dead. Probably.
use your real name, nerd the one you made up sounds stupid
She was eaten. Trapped within the monster’s stomach.
Our investigator pal jumps on the bandwagon with his own exposition!
“In the year 2100, the apocalypses rises, fear the chrome god monsters and their trapped traitor humans.” 
He goes on about how weird it is that Carnation woke up 100 years before the rest. Also that note was pretty strange too I guess. But the question is, who wrote it? Well, my friend, it seems obvious that it was written by a human being, so I propose the theory that Kaylee herself wrote the note. I’ll explain my reasoning soon enough, but for it to make any sense at all (even though it still probably won’t), I need to move on to.......
quick note: the more i think about this the more stupid it sounds for reasons ill get into in a moment, but im just gonna keep the Kaylee Note Theory here in case it somehow leads to me having some grand revelation about the true author.
 edit:upon further reflection it may be possible, but i still think there is plenty of room for error within my theory.
Part 2: Ulterior Spectacle
Our Earth was at peace. Finally. But they didn’t let it last.
Stephan Alexander, nineteen year old photographer and the second traitor human in our story. Using a device gifted to him by the Monster of Ice, Morzogo, he is able to freeze any landscape and turn any human being into stone with the click of a button. This device is the grand Tundra Lens. One of the worst birthdays I’ve ever heard of ngl. He goes around killing millions over a period of five months because of what Morzogo had told him.
“They don’t deserve to see the world as you do. They deserve to be a part of a picture, do they not? Make them go still so you may have the perfect picture. Travel the world and make them allll stiiiill, so they’ll be with you forever.”
To summarize the end of the story:
 girl’s voice snaps him out of trance was that a pun?
instant regret for literal mass murder
suicide via medusa method (mirror, click, bye bye)
Also, if you watch the lovely PV, you’ll notice that that girl that brought him back to reality is literally Kaylee Tagetes. A twelve year old killed a chaos god of mass destruction that ate her after she was poisoned and lost a lot of blood. This takes place maybe around the year 2032 and she still looks 12. h o w ? guess she’s dead now idk all the humans are gonna be ghosts and talk about their poor life decisions in the afterlife i guess
So yeah that’s basically my explanation for my whole Kaylee wrote the note thing.
Explaining my Kaylee Note Theory:
I think I figured out how she killed Carnation. The poison in her blood. Ingesting that could have killed him. I don’t know what it takes to kill an old one or whatever those things are, but maybe??????
The prophesy just states that the human traitor are trapped. Not dead, right? dont know about poor stephan tho oof. unless the possession automatically gives you op protagonist powers. they’re probably still dead tho
I don’t know what motivation she would have for leaving the note behind though.
Maybe she wrote it as a ghost-type-person-thing????? idk i feel like im reaching at this point ive been typing for over an hour now.
also im not sure where to fit this in but some characters talk about The Crisis which is where humans randomly turn into monsters????? idk its just been brought up once so far so i dont know what to think of it.
Alright. The last thing I want to talk about today is.......
Zone-B and Codename:NULL
We first meet Codename:NULL in the description of Battle: Xelzerin (that’s Carnation’s real name btw. i guess he’s a dork who doesn’t think his full name sounds cool like me). She’s receiving an email from another Zone-B member, Codename:GANYMEDE, who basically gives us some information about Xelzerin we didn’t already know. Including the fact that Xelzerin isn’t dead??? i should have re-read everything before i started typing this has just turned into one big semi-organized mess im so sorry 
anyway!! foreshadowing about the Earth and Electric beasts, NULL’s name is revealed to be Madeline in the description of Ulterior Spectacle, and apparently Stephan froze over 70% of the world in only five months. Probably a rich kid.
if i weren’t so tired and had more information about a story that’s barely half-way done, i feel like i would be much more thorough with my analysis and theories. i may type out a part 2 once song three drops. until then, ill wait patiently. maybe ill choke out a little theory if i have a sudden revelation but nothing on this scale. maybe ill be able to choke out a timeline as well. i can barely spell i should probably stop hope you enjoyed sorry it go so messy towards the end especially right here ily goodbye.
proofreading: barely im sorry
