Cosmos stares into the orb, smiling as he paces around it. At first glance, it was nothing, the complete absence of magic. A vacuum, and yet beyond the realm of matter. But when one looks closer, it is it's emptiness that defines this hole in reality, it is in nothing that it becomes something. Slowly it expanded, the reality on it's borders collapsing into that infinite nothingness. Through this hole could be seen the worlds that had been forgotten, that no longer existed. Through this void lay nothingness, and yet existence within it. A state of being not defined by such things as space or time, life or death. Not bound by the fragile laws of reality that governed this temporary refuge, a truly ascended form of existence.

"Can you kill him?"

Smiling, Cosmos raised a single hand, as he gripped the very fibers of the universe. "He will not form an obstacle."

"Very well. I will handle Ygdrassil."

Portals opened, and paths separated. The ingredients would be gathered, and the brew would be forged. Where Genocide had failed, Cosmos would succeed - in his own way. There was no point in destroying everything. The Omegans had been useful allies, with great power, but in the end their ideals were merely those of fanatics. To end reality was the act of a fool, why destroy what could be controlled? No, Cosmos would not destroy. He would merely.... ascend.

"I haven't seen a primal die, but I have killed a deamon...pretty much." Drac says, floating down from the portal that tears open above the battle field. Bug chuckles, from underneath Alucard's current position, under ground. Drac cracks his neck, and his knuckles. "So, you're the prick taking apart my son, and killing a friend? I'm afraid you're going to pay for that..." Drac chuckles, as his gauntlet glows brightly. He throws out an energy blast, aiming to take off Alucard's dome, as if to test the Vampire Lord's reaction time.

Babylon was well protected against teleportation. Powerful dimensional locks were located on several places in the ship, preventing anyone from boarding it without fighting through the outer defenses. It was for this reason that, when Matt asked for a status report, Odin carefully informed him that Mia was floating outside the ship, smiling and waving. And it was because Matt was no fool that he did not let her in, and instead ported out a phone, sighing. This would, without a doubt, be a rather interesting conversation. "What do you want with me, Mia?"

"Oh, not much. But we found something you might want, a little toy you left behind." Mia giggled, as she poked the force field that surrounded the massive space station. It was boring, using robots. They didn't bleed, and more importantly, they didn't scream. What was the fun in that?

"There is a reason I abandoned Ygdrassil, and one you should well know. The Plot Hole grew unstable, and it became impossible to lose." Matt sighed, he didn't like being reminded of his fall from power. When he had lost his powers as the God Emperor, he had managed to be revived without his powers. No longer had he been fused with the Plot Hole, and even his technologies had been lost to him. "If all you are here to do is taunt me-"

"Oh not at all. Because a friend of mine, he says he might be able to fix it."

Matt hesitated. There was no being alive who knew more about the Plot Hole and the related technologies than he did, and he had lost almost all of his knowledge when he had Fallen. However, the possibility was tempting. With the unmatched power of Ygdrassil, he would once more be an unstoppable power. Nothing would be able to stand before him. He would be able to unite the entire Multiverse under a single banner, and bring Order to the Chaos that now engulfed it. But gifts from Mia and her treacherous father didn't come without a price, and the price in this case would need to be a fairly heavy one.

"..... Go on."

@thewizardguy

Eruka listened in from afar, her sound based abilities letting her listen in from a near by asteroid belt, which she'd felt would hide her location. Luckly for her, she needed not oxygen, as her body was maintained with magic at this point. "..So, that's Matt's ship, huh? I remember that prick...." Eruka grumbles in her own mind, remembering the time Matt kidnapped her to black mail Drac. With a pair of binoculars, magical in nature allowing her to watch in on this event, she tried to remain hidden via a great length between her, and her target...... Lisa was also watching, but from a lot closer, as she was hidden in a volcano on an near by planet, grinning, as she playfully swam around in the magma. She was pratically ignoring the two talking parties, enjoying herself, and in the midst of her fun, had lost her binoculars to the depths of the volcano, it settling atop of some of the heavier molten metals.....

@thewizardguy
The Jigentou trembled briefly as it clashed against Alucard's sword of runes, then busted into hundreds of quickly evaporating fragments. The loss sent a shock through Mithas' arm and he gasped, nonetheless following with a swing of his soul-reaver sword which was too deftly dodged. The golden-eyed vampire looked more than a tad unsettled in that instant, as his ace-card sword had failed him. He couldn't believe Alucard's power and techniques! But, this was not the time to be caught stunned.

At the very last moment, Mithias hardened the skin all over his body into chitenlike-metallic armor before Alucard's punch landed against his face and nearly shattered him. In a DBZ-like trajectory, Mithias was blasted off the building and into the side of another building, causing that building's wall to give out and the whole structure to collapse on top of him. The rubble settled, and after but a moment, movement could be seen.

Alucard approached Mithias as he began to crawl out of the rubble, still obviously alive. Destruction? The multiverse was in danger, again?? Mithias shook his head, dust falling off of him, his hair a mess. He shoved the last rock off of himself and stood up facing Alucard. The Jigentou... It hadn't been destroyed, but what good would it do to summon it again? Mithias didn't bother. He had killed both a god and a daemon in his short immortality, and yet all that hadn't made him any more prepared to face the being before him.

Just then, Drac appeared.

"Drac! No, wait! Don't intervene! He'll kill you!" But it was too late, Drac had already engaged, and took a shot at the vile vampire lord.

Mithias tried to delay the enemy, "You're right, Alucard. I haven't fed in a long time, and these powers aren't mine. It is true that I am lost. You seem to understand many things that I do not." Mithias saw the arms forming blades and decided to try to use speed to his advantage and dodge everything Alucard threw at him, if he could. Alucard's hits were just too devastating to endure, but perhaps he could fly circles around the fiend. "Has your knowledge made you so devoid of hope? Are you so certain the multiverse is doomed? Have you given in out of fear? ... Are you a failure, Alucard?" The corner of Mithias' lips curled in an evil grin as he taunted Alucard with that last statement.

@thewizardguy

Teo would teleport his Tetris around Babylon.

"Hey ,mind letting me in?Getting bored with nothing to do here"

he says via the intercom while the Purple bus floats around the ship.

"Oh,and Nice ship by the way,and Hi Mia"

@supertinyking@Wraithblade6
Alucard smiled, not deigning to look around at Drac. Of all his senses, his eyes were one of the least reliable. Already he could tell that this opponent was old, and already he knew that it was an undead he faced. Of course, he would have known those things without his senses, from the mere mention of his opponent's name. "Oh my. It's Drac. Now I'm really terrified." Smiling, Alucard observed his two opponents silently. The magician from earlier was gone, the insect was dealt with. This much he could deal with with ease. Of course, that was before the brat before him insulted him so.

"Do you think me powerful, boy?"

With a flash of light, Alucard was in front of Drac. Drac was surprised, if such an emotion was registered in the nanoseconds before Alucard's leg stuck his face. The force was immense, the leg had already far surpassed the sound barrier, and if it hadn't been for the many enchantments laced through Drac's body he would have been split in two. Instants from impact, even as Drac's body began it's supersonic flight downwards, Alucard's inner energy focused and condensed. Once more, and explosion of energy, similar to Ki, a secondary blow of immense power that ripped into Drac. With an explosive burst of blue fire several seals sprang loose, attempting to absorb the dual shock of the blow, masses of energy flowing past him. The mere shockwaves turned stone to dust.

Had it been allowed to do so, Drac's form would have smashed into the ground at immense speed, generating a massive crater as it did so. It was certainly what Mithias had expected at the time, as his superhuman senses seemed to slow down time, allowing him to observe the beginnings of this fall. However, with a flash of light, Alucard interrupted the flight, appearing within the trajectory. What drac met was a fist, smashing into his back, the force from the two blows combining into a terrifying culmination of kinetic energy. With a crack, Drac snapped in two, the two seperate halves each smashing into the ground at subsonic speeds, their energy having been devoured by the act of snapping.

"The power I hold is the greatest that could ever be achieved by our kind. I, like my fellows, am the absolute pinnacle. I have mastered every ability I have stolen that I could master, I have pushed my body beyond any mortal concept of limits. I am the embodiment of martial prowess, an unstoppable killing machine, unmatched in speed, strength, or versatility." He looks up at Mithias, smiling, as his body seems to shake, his eyes filled with unspeakable rage. For all his earlier joking and mocking, for all his philosophy and pretty words, Mithias recognized in those eyes unbridled hatred. "And yet, when the end came, I was nothing. Do you think I did not take up arms? I was defeated in an instant, broken to pieces. I watched everything I fought for burn to the ground. With this petty power you hold, do you think you can protect yourself? Do you think you can protect anything?"

The prospect of dodging and out-speeding Alucard was looking less and less likely as Mithias witnessed Drac's splitting dispatch. Mithias made no sudden moves. No moves in fact could have saved Drac in time, yet Mithias found his grief for the old father delayed. He looked back at Alucard with stoic eyes, weighing the odds of his own survival. His chances were exceedingly slim, yet dying didn't honestly sound all that bad.

More and more, Mithias found himself asking not how he could fight Alucard, but whether or not he himself was capable of the power and mastery that Alucard had demonstrated. Then, it hit him, and it all made sense. "Alucard!" Mithias looked at him with new sight. "You're me, aren't you? Hmm, but you surpass me greatly in motivation. What happened??"

@thewizardguy
Just then, Babylon's sensors detected another foreign entity quickly approaching the ship. Odin had to interrupt to inform Matt and request orders.

A white glow, which once zoomed in on and focused, resembled a winged knight jet-propulsed by an illuminated sword, was spotted out in space, on a hyperbolic trajectory that would putt it alongside Babylon in about 4 minutes.

Eclipse was enjoying emulating a comet, and he smiled with delight to finally see the great Babylon coming into view. He had a mission from his goddess, and it would be good to see an old friend once again. Oblivious to his detection, he floated closer in a magical bubble, unimpeded by the vacuum of space.

@thewizardguy

".......I....can protect.....what's mine." Drac says, as slowly, his torso floats above the rubble, his legs following suit. As if welding a bit of metal, Drac melds his two halves together with a blast of energy, but his legs still seem limp as he flies. "That was impressive, you managed to get my last raw nerve...."
With this, Drac smiles, as from under the soil burst two large hands, grabbing Alucard, pinning him in place, or attempting to, as Drac unleashes a volley of energy blasts, aiming to rip Alucard into shreds. Even as this happened, far off, someone was planning...plotting....preparing something on a grand scale unseen in recent history.....a massive combined effort.

@supertinyking
Drac's volley of fun was suddenly interrupted as his body was once again sliced in half fro behind. As the shock registered, Drac began to fall, turning to see Mithias had attacked him. The vampire's eyes had changed to blood red as he plunged his sword down through Drac's chest and impaled him to the ground below. On top of Drac's torso, Mithias gripped the hilt of the dimension blade; he hadn't used the soul-devouring blade. He leaned his fanged face close to Drac's as he told him, "I'm sorry Drac, but you've done enough 'protecting.' I'm taking it from here. Now pull yourself together again, and this time, grab your son and take a hike. If I have to kill you to stop you, then believe me, I will."

@Wraithblade6

"You fool, you're killing yourself. Whatever the hell he's done your mind, snap out of it...Aggg...." Drac says, slowly, trying to pull himself back together. Slowly, insects crawl over Mithas's legs, as Bug reforms behind him. "You hurt my dad...." Bug growls, before trying to take a bite out of Mithas's shoulder.

Mithias wing-slaps Bug. "Hmmph. It just so happens, I'm prone to fits of rage. Get out of here, Bug, both of you. Alucard is *my* problem, something only *I* can deal with, and I'm going to do it right now." Mithias was angry, but not at Bug or Drac. He was more angry at himself for becoming such a douchebag monster... or whatever part of him that Alucard shared. He didn't explain it, but he didn't want to stand by and watch his-self get destroyed by Drac and Bug, not when there was some future at stake, some story that needed to be told. "Your father is fine, but I'm not letting him kill Alucard."

@Wraithblade6

"Are you daft?" Drac asks, rather annoyed. Bug recoils slightly from the slap, twitching slightly. ".....You wanna die that badly? Fine, I'll let the monster eat the fool. The world will be better off for it." Bug growls, grabbing Drac's tore apart body, and leaping though a portal, leaving him alone with the monster..or, as alone as he could feel. Something was still watching, from far away, gripping an orb of insight so tightly it begins to crack.
"Stupid fool...." Someone says, before sighing. "I'll fix this problem soon...."

"Hmph. You're smarter than you look." Alucard scoffs, as his body begins to shift, the black skin parting to reveal a far more familiar form. It was like looking into some kind of twisted circus mirror. It was definitely Mithias, and yet the differences were as profound as the similarities. The eyes were different, filled with a strange hatred. He was slightly shorter, and wore what appeared to be a long black coat, which came to his ankles. Most strikingly, however, there was a large wound cut across his face, blinding his left eye and cutting into the corner of his mouth. The wound looked open, although no blood leaked from it. "Of course, you only got so close. I'm the original, or rather, your alternate. From an alternate reality, one that occurred besides this one. I abandoned my name many years ago, as did those who fight with me. To hear you use it... it is nostalgic."

He lifts one hand, as energy crackles across it. The Jigen Tou projects itself over his arm, transforming it into a deadly weapon. Whilst he had lost his layer of armour, he still retained all the offensive power he had previously displayed. "I heard that you had defeated one of the Daemon, an impressive feat. I faced a Daemon once, and I could not defeat it. I thought that perhaps you held some secret power, some great ancient strength that I did not know of. That somehow you had surpassed what I believed to be the limit, that you had gained the power necessary to defeat such a being." Utilizing the Lightning Step (Mithias recalls the ability's name despite never having heard it spoken, undoubtedly from Tsukune's memory) Alucard appears in front of his double. "But I find you to be a weakling, without the resolve to fight nor with the power to do so. As such, it seems I will need to grant you the only mercy I have to grant. You will not be alive to see the end."

@supertinyking

Mia glanced backwards as she observed the souls of the two spies, her vision unobscured by whatever means the two might have used to hide themselves from Babylon's sensors. They would not be a threat to her, as long as Babylon was here Eruka would not approach. And Lisa was far too distracted to form any kind of threat. When the Tetris appeared, Mia thought for a moment that Teo had come to take some sort of revenge, but it seemed he was far too much of an airhead for that. All was moving accordingly. "As you must be aware, certain holes have opened up in the fabric of reality. Through use of my.... contact, I have discovered what appears to be the original prototype for Odin. If you could recover those files, you might have access to the original Archive, including all information pertaining to the Plot Hole, as well as Ygdrassil."

For a moment, Matt was silent. Silently, he relayed commands to Odin, and a tractor beam was fired at the Tetris. It would be roped in for further study. A standard drone message played as the ship was brought into one of Babylon's many hangars. [Please remain calm. You are currently being detained by the Allied Galaxies for parley and investigation. If you pose no threat to the Allied Galaxies, no harm will fall upon you. If you do, prepare for your immediate annihilation.]

"What is the price I would need to pay for this information?" No beating around the bush, there was always a cost. The concept of once more controlling the Plot Hole was tempting, but Mia was not to be trusted, even with a plausible story.

"Oh, nothing much." Mia smiled, as she played with what appeared to be a severed finger, a ring still adorning it. "All I want is a copy of the Archive, once you recover it."

@thewizardguy
As Alucard explains himself, a chuckle can be heard. Slowly, Bug appears from under the ground, having created a puppet body to keep an eye on the fight. A simple construct, useful for spying, it simply chuckles at Alucard.
"You don't get how he beat that deamon? Want in on the secret of how to turn any odds in your favor my vampiric friend? I'll fill you in...He had help from his friends! His friends, who're insane enough to try to fight a creature extremely out of their leauge! But that's the ticket...have crazy friends. They don't know when to run for their lives!" The puppet body laughs, before steam rises off of it, the mass slowly turning into an acidic pile of goo. This was a distraction, though, as this happened, behind Alucard, from the shadows, a man in black garb appeared, holding a dagger made from some sort of redish metal that almost gave off a glow. Slowly, this assassin aimed to place this dagger into the back of Alucard's skull, their clothing keeping themselves from being sensed, at least, oddly, while the puppet body was there. This assassin was silent as he moved, and small enough he was hidden from sight by Alucard's body, making him extremely hard to detect. Of course, one thing would tip them off...the man's eyes gave off a glow, a light yellow glow.

Eruka frowned as she heard what Mia was doing, and she could tell Mia sensed her. Slowly, she sent some sort of message out, which reached Lisa in a split moment. Lisa grew alert. and vanished into the magma, Mia sensing her portalling away. Eruka sends another message which leads to her retreat as well. Soon, a device is sent into space, right to Babylon....A communication device. A phone, devoid of traps, or trickery. Just a phone, of mystical nature. It gave off enough of a signal it was apparent it was meant to be found by Babylon.

@Teoinsanity
On the tardis, a portal opens behind Saeid, a red demonic hand reaching forth, and swiping him away in an instant. Teo and friends would only manage to see Saeid's feet enter the portal, before it closes, as though someone wants to keep Saeid away from Matt.

"Hurry it up ,will ya mate?!"

Brown would yell via the intercom before Teo taped his mouth shut.

"Well,let us see.."

Teo quries himself

"Ok , What did I do wrong here?"

He would then see Saed get kidnapped .

"Quick ,bron and melody ,get his signature and follow him ,I have to stay here"

@thewizardguy
"I refuse that offer." Mithias glared defiantly at his double. Just then Bug's dupe started speaking.

A small ship entered orbit around a large, brown planet. It's scorched surface was mostly empty, however along it's equator was a long streak of highly populated metropolitan areas. This small ship was one among many ships moving in and out of the area, performing acts of trade, transportation and security. However, it was one of the only ships that did not originate in the Sergal Empire, and was not constructed from the strange magical alloys utilized in most Sergal technology. It was dark black, with a single engine in the back, and no visible protection or weapons. It did, however, have a rather capable Warp Drive, although it's nature would make it nearly impossible for the Sergal to realize this.

A routine message was broadcasted by one of the officers in a nearby space station, checking all unidentified contacts attempting to enter the planet. If it turned out to be a threat, a variety of ships stood ready to protect their homeworld from foreigners, in addition to a number of planetary defense systems. [Please state your name and business within the Sergal Homeworld. We would appreciate it if you would power down any and all weapons aboard your ship.]

The reply was in a slow, almost mocking tone. And yet, somehow, it sent a shiver down the officer's back. "My name is Mia Gorgon, I'm here on diplomatic business. I represent both Stein and myself, and wish to speak with the leaders of your little empire."
