Shiori, growing increasingly impatient with this random weird girl

"You don't know...?" Shiori raised an eyebrow, pausing for a moment. That was rather unusual. It didn't change the fact that this girl was a little mess of delusions, but it did mean that perhaps there was something else going on. Alternatively, this girl was just stupid and didn't realize she had entered a museum. Regardless, it was not on the path to power that she had selected. Dealing with this girl could come later, if Shiori did somehow find it necessary to do so. "You're in a museum. Now leave, and stop wasting my time with your useless rambling."

It was a simple decision that Shiori had now come to. If the foolish girl pushed it, she... would awaken in some off-to-the side location with a bruised head and Shiori would be long gone.

Lili,unknowingly near Asuka:

Deciding to move on Lili continued to examine the displays. It was the same as the others in terms of a special weopon or amulet. "Ok these things have stopped becoming impressive and none give me answers to why I am here. Everyone here seems to be caught up in thier own petty conversations..." However her eyes kept being drawn to the cracks. It was like she was compelled to solve the mystery or mysteries contained in them however she willed herself to ignore them.

Sometime later she heard what she though was a familiar voice. "Hmm?" It was coming not far from where she was. It couldn't be tho. It sounded like "watch where you are going" and she knew of only one person.."Asuka?" She said to herself and headed towards where she heard the supposed voice of her longtime friend and rival.

Rachel - Still convinced this is just part of the show

Much like Nepeta, Rachel found herself getting closer to Yuuka than she probably should have given her previous experience. She found herself genuinely curious as to whether or not something odd would happen when the green-haired woman touched the glowing crack, despite the fact that as far as she was concerned, it was just part of the museum's gimmick. Lights hidden in the walls at strategic points to make it look like things were glowing ominously.

And then...the strange ball of teeth and fluff leapt out, giggling. Ignoring Yuuka's request for her to step back, Rachel reacted the way any sane person would in this situation. By staring and laughing at the ridiculous looking...whatever it was meant to be. Of all the possible things could come out of the creepy looking glowing cracks...skeletal hands, spiders and centipedes, blood...No, the museum staff had decided Furbies were the right answer. Then again, probably best to go with something that wouldn't traumatise children too much.

Ignace stumbled back from the fluff ball with a cry surprise firing a single shot at it. The shot went wide and hit a wall behind it leaving a scorch mark on the wall. The guardsman stood back up but stilled had his rifle aimed at the puff balls if they tried anything. The guardsman felt uneasy around fluff ball mostly because lasting that popped out of a crack in reality ate his platoon commanding officer that was a weird report he had to fill out. Ignace stood back up dusting off his uniform. Looked at the people who were there “what in the throne are these things?” he asked not taking his eyes off the fluff balls.

Asuka:

Asuka looked around and happened to notice some odd puff ball things. "What the hell?" She said after she helped the girl up. "Puffballs? Well lets see if they can be kicked around and hurt..!" She took a stance looking ready to fight.

Lili now almost sure she is close to Asuka:

"Asuka..!" Lili shouted as she heard Asuka's call of surprise. However as she was heading towards her she was suddenly knocked over by a ..puffball? "What the..?" She said in utter confusion.

Kyzan drifted through the museum, she had heard the strange noises and yelling and had drifted to investigate. Seeing one of the mutant puffballs, she saw its nashing jaws go for a pair of girls, reappearing for a second, she hit it with a puff of arctic breath before disappearing again, the fluffy ball of teeth fell to the floor with a thud. She flew up to the ceiling and watched down from above.

Asuka and Lili: reunited at last?

"Um thank you..." Lili said to Kyzan. Then she looked at Asuka. "So you followed me Asuka Kazama. Very bold yet foolish. Why?" Lili asked her curiously. It was not like Asuka to really care about her considering they were frienemys.

Asuka sighed."Look I was scared alright? What if I had lost you? Then how else could we have our friendly spars and annoy the hell out of each other. I am..glad you are alright.." She said with a slight blush luckily Lili did not catch it.

"I ..see.." Lili said. She smiled softly at Asuka.

Mio - With Danny and Mikoto

Mio frowned as she got to her feet, still somewhat smoky. She dusted her dress off and turned to face Danny, before folding her arms across her chest.

"What's so entertaining about seeing a cute young maiden ruthlessly assaulted without provocation?" She asked, glancing at Mikoto for a brief moment towards the end of the question.

Misaka Mikoto, with Mio and Danny

'So entertaining'? What was so funny about zapping some perverted weirdo who'd just come out of no-where like that? Mikoto didn't see any part of it that was particularly funny. More annoying that someone had acted perverse enough to make her do something like that. No, if anything, the brown-haired girl found all of this really kind of irritating. she folded her arms. "Yeah, sure, whatever. I'm here for the museum, too."

It wasn't a lie. There was issues at the museum, so she was here for those. That was the entire reason she had showed up here. Mikoto wasn't the type to just let a whole bunch of innocent people be threatened, after all, and she was here for Zyguard on top of that. Her position with the organization was a sort of part-time thing, since she was a student in another dimension and all.

"And don't act like I wasn't provoked," Mikoto added, casting an annoyed glare at the gothic lolita girl.

MoeMeowrin - Outside the museum, with Anno and Rain

"Nyaaa, what do you mean~?" The possessed Moerin smirked playfully at Rain. "I'm real moe! I'm so moe kawai desu sugoi you wouldn't believe it! And why, sweet buns? Because..." As she turned to Anno, Moerin... Spanked her. Lightly, yes, but she still spanked her. "Because your adorable little butt is soooo cute, nyahahah~!"

The perverted being that had taken over Moerin's body seemed to be enjoying herself rather immensely, really. Not only that, but she was already planning on just what she could do now that she had a physical bo-

What are you doing.

"...Nyaa!? Um... Wait a minute, um... How're you-" Suddenly freezing in place, "Moerin" seemingly began talking to herself.

It's rather rude, actually. You take my body without my permission, cause a scene and start molesting my friends... What are you, some kind of low class demon or something?

"Low class!? Why you... And... And I'm an Imagin, not a de-"

I guess that explains it, then. ...Only it doesn't, because that's ridiculous. Imagin don't exist. I... What are you even doing here anyway?

"Well, I'd explain, but..." For a moment, the being possessing Moerin turned serious, and pointed towards the museum. "Your friend's delicious peaches aren't the only cracks of interest right now."

Raiko - Museum, with Chris

Raiko seemed rather unimpressed with Chris's show of force, really. She barely batted an eyelid as the tanned girl smashed apart the museum wall. Then again, she was a bit preoccupied with gagging on the horrible taste of the fruit she'd just bitten into. Somehow, she managed to get it down without throwing it back up again, and when she did, she felt... Different, to say the least. She wasn't entirely sure why, or why Chris suddenly seemed a bit shorter.

"Did you really think a show of brute force would impress me?" she snorted, looking down on the buff girl. It seemed rather difficult to not look down on her right now, actually... "Clearly, you have chosen to solely develop your muscles in exclusion of your mind. But... I shall humour you, I suppose. Show me just how far away from true divinity I am, then! I... Um, wait... Why are you so..."

And that was when she noticed that Chris wasn't getting smaller. She was getting higher up. Looking down, she noticed she was now hovering several feet above the floor. As much as she tried to be dignified at all times... She couldn't help but let out a squeal of delight.

"...Eeeeeeh! I... I'm flying! I truly stand above all humans now!"

Anno, with MoeMeowrin and Rain

Anno trembled, her cheeks growing redder and redder as her skirt remained flipped and Moe remained saying weird and embarrassing things. What was she supposed to do?! This was just... how could she even handle this what could she even attempt to do now? She just wanted to stop being embarrassed and for Moe to stop acting quite this perverted like that all of the sudden... and then... and then she felt a hand... on... her... The brown-haired girl flinched and let out a yelp. The embarrassing comments and that... that... that...

And then Moe froze. Anno immediately took this chance to pull away and desperately hold down her skirt, blushing intensely as she turned to face Moe and tried to figure out just what was going on. But... her friend was... talking with herself... and... and... Imagin...?

"... W-wait, i-isn't that from the... the one Kamen Rider..." Anno hadn't seen many of the series, and it was hard to remember much of anything when she was so flustered. But that name definitely sounded familiar to her. But... that was just... why would... Anno tried to open her mouth and ask just what kind of joke Moe was playing, but... then she pointed. Trying to keep her skirt held down and protected, she looked over her shoulder, and...

"... Th-that... wasn't there when I s-saw it before... I..."

There were glowing cracks... was the museum doing something new now...?

"I-"

... Then... that comment...

"W-w-waah! Wh-why are you putting it like that?!" cried Anno, forgetting to even ask if this was a joke.

Yui, At the Beach

Yui had started preparing, immediately after her arrival, for finishing off the Unicorn Dopant, which was already on its last legs. Step one: flip open the shield thing on her arm. Step two: pull out three Cell Medals. Swap with the Core Medals currently in the belt, as she didn't have any better to use. Step three: pull the trigger back, scan...

"Hawk! Peacock! Cheetah! Giga Scan!"

... and release the explosive, flaming--and, in this case, containing cutting wind, of all things--elemental blast-cum-punch straight at the dopant. Hopefully causing it to explode and its memory to break, though Yui didn't really know about that. She wasn't Double, would her finishers work?

---

Rain!

"Imagin? I thought they looked more... armoured?" Rain wondered, doing the entirely sensible thing and ignoring the weird not-Moerin's treatment of Anno, because there were some things that were simply not worth contemplating. At all. In fact, they were excessively not worth contemplating, as some things didn't make the slightest bit of sense. Even if Anno was easy to tease, going this far made no sense... and she was so intent on ignoring the spanking that she forgot to decipher the inexplicable bout of Japanese.

The perverse creature drew Rain's attention to something far more important: the museum was cracking up. And not in the funny, laughing-really hard way, either.

And... she poked one, causing balls of fluff to form. Well, they didn't seem harmful but this was... confusing. It made no sense. This wouldn't be the first time she'd gotten reality and a dream muddled up until waking, though, so the white-haired girl decided to play along with things as if it was all perfectly natural. Anything other than admit that reality as she knew it had just gone on holiday.

Chris, with Raiko

"I might not have the most formal education ever, but I can speak half a dozen languages, and I have the brains to not eat random fruit I find lying in dusty cases," Chris countered, looking up at Raiko--and, at the same time, up her skirt. Really, that was just going to cause trouble if someone saw them, "Mind your head and hope it wears off or something."

With that, the martial artist resumed travelling between rooms in the name of her boss, searching for the indicated item... with Raiko in toe like a balloon, hand wrapped in a vice grip around her ankle. "Look for a red egg, please."

Her father had taught her to not rise to insults. Attacking in anger didn't end well for anyone concerned--and besides, why would someone's taking potshots at a source of pride like her physique bother her? She could find plenty worse about Raiko.

Parker West, Somewhere on Museum Island

Parker was pretty sure that he'd never been more confused in his life than he was today. First, he somehow got split up from his friends wandering around the exhibits, and then he got himself lost in what he would've expected to be the most tourist-friendly place he'd ever gone. And now the place was spontaneously ripping apart, and puffballs with teeth were flying out of glowing cracks.

Yep, definitely the most confusing day ever.

Not really sure what to do, Parker continued to wander through the museum. Hopefully he'd bump into somebody eventually.

Asuka and Lili:

"So what do you propose we do?" Asuka asked Lili. Lili thought. "We should probably investigate things more. That way we can find clues to maybe find a way back or what secreats this place holds."

Asuka listened to Lili. "Yeah there is alot of strange people here." She commented looking at the various people closeby. "Where should we begin to look for clues."

Lili thought. " I saw some exibits closeby. They all seemed to have strange artifacts."

"What the hell let's look for the key home. I do not intend to stay in this dump for long.." Lili heard Asuka and just rolled her eyes. Then they headed a bit deeper into the museum hoping one of its many displays would give them a way to get back home..

The Beaches
"Gaaaaaah!" The Phantom screamed as Katsumi placed her under arrest. As she fell to the ground, the Giga Scan blown through the Dopant and destroyed him with a huge explosion that could possibly knock back Yuji. Two things were seen as the smoke cleared: the man and his now broken Gaia Memory.

"N-no... I... Why?" The man grunted.

"He'd make a perfect host... Time to execute the plan." The Black Cross King snapped his fingers.

---

Museum
"eeeeeeeeeeee" The fluffball said as Yuuka grabbed it.

The fluffball that Ignace shot at exploded in a puff of fluff. Another was frozen and fell onto the floor, shattering, from Kyzan's attack. The balls of fluff don't seem to mind though. In fact, more of them flew out, all of them giggling.

---

Exhibit

"Yeah. The place is pretty nice. So nostalgic for me, y'know?" Danny said.

---

Zyguard's Avenger Ship

Captain Sparks analyzed the crack's data thoroughly, showcasing the same info Kyzan got with her Ultimatrix. A high percentage of what appears to be red sea water. However, along with this data was a screenshot of what might be seen beyond the cracks.

"... Agent Santos, those cracks seem to be a gateway to another world... But... they're not the cracks we've come to know." Sparks said. Nicholas knew what he meant. During his training, he as told that cracks in the Multiverse usually manifested as open zippers to a large, unending forest with dangerous creatures.

"What do you see?" Nicholas asked.

"It's a picture from the closest world of origin... Red cliffs, red water, and what looks to be a giant ship..." Sparks said.

"... That confirms it." Nicholas said.

"... Please tell me what the hell I'm looking at, Santos." Sparks asked.

"That is-"

---

Museum

"BLASTED LITTLE SUSUKODAMA!" A voice yelled from the cracks. Near the cracks where Ignance and Kyzan were at, a strange and monstrous looking cat emerged, coming right out from the cracks, complete with it squeezing through.

"You let 'em go for one minute and they start flyin' everywhere!" The cat said, revealing itself to be the source of that voice. "Tch. No matter. We'll fulfill the King's orders and avenge our fallen leader. NANASHI!"

Throughout the museum, several of the cracks began to fill up, and soon, more things squeezed through the cracks. All of them bigger than the fluffballs. They were all human-shaped and wore armor and clothes similar to humans, but they all looked different. They looked like giant red snapping fish... with teeth. Each of them were armed with a dao with a red edge along the blade. Many of the patrons of the museum fled in panic, while some of the Museum caretakers and tour guides ran to get... something. Some even helped the patrons run off, with some of them approaching people like Kyzan, Ignance, Yuuka, Rain, Anno, Moe, Lilli, Asuka, Parker, and several others.

"Guys! Run for safety!" One of the Museum catetakers said.

---

Danny

Danny took notice of the cracks and noted the Nanashi emerging from the cracks.

"Well, well, well, what do we have here?" Danny asked Misaka, pointing to the Nanashi.

---

Nicholas

"The Sanzu River..." Nicholas said, facing down the Nanashi that emerged from the cracks he looked at. Nicholas prepared to fight them.

Asuka and Lili:

Asuka paused to listen. The cracks seemed to have disappeared and she heard some footsteps approaching. "Lil...I think something or someone was following us.." She said seriously.

Lili was about to say something when she noticed a small group of strange looking creatures approaching them both. "You were right. They look dangerous. What should we do?"

Asuka grinned taking a stance as she saw the Nanashi that were coming towards them. "What we do best. We may not be in the Iron Fist tournaments anymore but we can take them.."

"Asuka they are armed? Are you crazy?!" Tho before she could say anything more Lili saw Asuka run to meet the Nanashi fists bared.

Muttering something in French about Asuka being either heroic or incredably stupid she sighed before joining her in the attack. Yes it may be foolish but she did not want Asuka getting hurt or being reckless..

Yuuka, over-estimating the threat of fluffy balls

...Well, it wasn't trying to eat through her hand. That was something, she supposed. Normally, cute little critters like these hid their threats behind cutesy acts, but if it wasn't going to try and fight back...
Releasing the strange ball, the flower youkai was just about to leave the strange cracks when the voices began emanating from them. With a raised eyebrow, she awaited to see what would happen next, and was quite disappointed at what seemed to be emerging.

"It's never the galactic abominations that tear sanity apart with their mere visage, any more..." Yuuka sighed as a curator arrived to usher them away. She considered just telling her to go away and save someone in need of it, but considering the majority of visitors here were just regular humans, they might be at a bit of a disadvantage when it came to retreating.

"All righty, girls~ Let's try and avoid the monsters and find the nearest window to leap from, shall we~?" Yuuka suggested, her bright tone quite at odds with the sudden terror and chaos that had erupted around the museum. Well, it's not like she had any reason to fear those things, after all.
Bringing Rachel and Nepeta closer to her side, Yuuka began her casual retreat from the attacking.. .things.

---

Rikka, being all Rikkaey

"...Museum?" Rikka glanced around the area. Well, yeah, it did look a lot like one, she supposed. But... why would an alternate dimension have a museum? Much less one that looked like a normal one, aside from the cracks that were shooting little creatures and then monsters and wait what.

Jaw crashing to the floor, Rikka merely watched in shock as... weird... things... suddenly seemed to be invading. She was fairly sure it wasn't her imagination acting up her anything. This was... it... was... a thing. Yeah, this was certainly a thing happening.

Nepeta Leijon

"AC stares with a purrplexed expression at the strange looking lusus," The troll girl narrated, doing said action. They didn't look like they'd be any fun to hunt. Kinda harmless, really. She had to resist the urge to poke them just to see if there was more than meets the eye.

And then she heard the voices.

"Mrow!" She yelped, nearly jumping onto Yuuka's back from the shock. It was a learned reaction she acquired when seeking comfort from her moirail when scared. Luckily, she had enough sense about her to keep herself from doing that embarrassingly pale action. She didn't want to give the green haired lady the wrong idea. She definitely wasn't looking to fill her pale quadrant, even if Equius no longer needed her to pacify him.

Shortly thereafter, even stranger creatures than before started appearing. These definitely looked more hostile, causing the cat troll to tense up and hiss at them. She nodded in affirmation at Yuuka's words before going back to her hissing. Even as she followed Yuuka, she looked around, every sense put into overdrive just in case those things decided to attack them as they made their escape. She was determined to protect her new friends.

Katsumi, at the beach with Yui, Roxy, and Todoroki

"Hah!"

The Pegasus monster's impact had left a crater in the sand where she had landed. Katsumi grinned, standing beside her form on the ground. She tapped the spot in her jacket where the MPS lay, and a Gray Wall opened in the air. Placing her hand beneath it, a pair of handcuffs fell from it and into the palm of her hand. That... was awesome! A whole ton of fun, and now she had the criminal right where she wanted her. Katsumi placed one foot firmly on the monster's back, still grinning cheerfully.

"For a life of crime, this is exactly what you get!" she declared, bending down to place both of the pegasus' hands in the cuffs. She took her foot off the creature's back and yanked her to her feet. It was about then that she heard the explosion, turning in time to see the fires clearing and the man with his broken Gaia Memory.

"Nice one, Yui-san!" she called, flashing the thumbs up to her fellow Zyguard operative, "But of course, that's the Team Zyguard way!"

---

Shiori, with Rikka

Shiori turned, watching as the small furry creatures were followed by the monsters from another world. So... this was the distraction... As if she needed one. Shiori folded her arms, watching the creatures emerge from the cracks in the walls. Well, even if it was entirely unnecessary, she supposed taking advantage of it was not out of the question. She looked back over her shoulder, at the girl with the eyepatch and the umbrella. What a fool utterly out of her depth.

"Yes. This is a museum, as if you could not tell," Shiori began her, cold indifference clinging to her voice, "Now run along, unless you wish to meet a premature end to your delusions."

John, Being Amazing
As one of the strange humanoids approached Parker, there was a sound of running, followed shortly by the monster flying to the side as John drop kicked it. And then he threw something at its face as he rolled to his feet.

"POCKET VIPER!"

As the tiny snake that had snuck in his pocket in the jungle flew towards the beast, John looked over at Parker, one of the dolls from the jungle slipping out of his bag.

"You alright, man?"

John had left August at the hotel to get cleaned up before heading into the museum. He'd seen some frozen puffballs that seemed... well, relatively friendly, and had tried to thaw them out. And then these things popped up.
