[New York, New Imperial Palace]
Nova looked up over the group gathered below. He had received no serious responses on his offer of interdimensional alliance. But then again, none of these individuals believed themselves qualified to represent their reality. But for now, they would form his tools in cleansing this world. He would have plenty of time to establish his base of operations, as he attempted to discover how to travel between dimensions. It was something he had never attempted, but his presence here proved that it must be possible. Either through his arcane prowess, or through his technological genius, he would forge a path back to Terra.

Of course, that was when the intruder entered the scene. The stranger emanated a powerful aura, and the God Emperor could sense he held some form of power. But like many of those present, his power was alien to the psyker. His name was Xellos, and he was servant to another he held in high regard. Even now Nova could sense the bonds between servant and master. But he was also able to tell that Xellos did not come with pure intentions, although his intentions were not destructive. "I have no time to deal with the trivialities, servant. If you are here on your master's business, then bide her to meet me in person. If you are here on business of your own, then mind that you keep your hands to yourself. I care not for trickery, nor deceit, and should you prove to be a nuisance I shall find no compunction with eliminating you from this world." It was perhaps an abrupt threat, but the Emperor had lived in a world of warfare and destruction. Any hint of possible hostility needed to be shut down immediately.

Furthermore, and perhaps more importantly, the malignant forces he had previously sensed remained on this world. An evil presence had engaged in combat in a different area of the city. However, the Emperor did not wish to intervene in person. In order to discover by what means he and his companions had been pulled into this world he would need absolute concentration. He would meditate on the matter from within the walls of his newly created palace, and discover how to forge a path back to his world. But he could tell that this presence was a threat, and would grow ever stronger with time. Evil could not be allowed to take root, lest it grow as a weed. Thus he reached the conclusion that he would need to take on the general's mantle, to guide his 'troops' into battle.

"My friends, I can sense an evil presence engaged in combat within this city. I cannot tell whether darkness or light shall prevail in this battle, but the life of an innocent being is at stake. Whilst I cannot personally intervene, I would ask that those of you willing to fight for a stranger's safety step forward. That we might save an individual, and prevent evil from taking root in this world." He looks over to Ryu, Gojira, Yoh, Kirby, Melting Point, Jolyne, Lapis Lazuli, Akina, and Wynn. "I am capable of transporting you to any location in this city, and to return you to this location at will. If you wish to assist this individual, I can grant you transportation to her location. Should you wish to have nothing to do with this, I can grant you safe haven within these walls, or transportation to any location you would prefer." He made his offer, already knowing how those present would react. After all, he was psychic.

Imperial Palace (Akina and Wynn)

After the shock passed, Wynn had her 'grumpy face' up again, she crossed her arms. Comtemplating wheter she would help this innocent person. "Well, since we are not in our original world right now, i can help out. I'll go!" said Akina raising her arm. "Why i knew you would take up the offer?" said Wynn sighing. "Well, i could help everyone go back, but i need to figure out why we are here in the first place. Because...why send all you guys back if more is going to show up?" Akina pointed out, Wynn didn't understand much of it. "Anyway, i guess i'll go too...no use on doing nothing in here." said Wynn, taking up the offer as well.

Masaki & Cybuster

"I dunno guys, maybe we should leave this alone." said Kuro, they all looked at the object with care. "Yeah, you're right, better not take that much risks." said Masaki, entering the cockpit and flying to the palace, making the object fall off from Cybuster.

Running in the Streets (Gunvolt)

"It's been a while, and still nothing." said Gunvolt, he had missed the whole even about the palace emerging. He decided to stop and looked around, noticing the Library. "Wouldn't hurt in looking that place." said Gunvolt, heading to check if there was anything at the Library.

@thewizardguy

Joylne Kujo

"Wait you can do that kinda shit?Well can ya take us the the source of the light?" Joylne moved towards the one named Nova.The faster they could get to figuring out what the hell is going on the faster they could or might go back to their own dimension."So how ya gonna do that if i may ask?you can teleport or something like in the comics?" She then asked him her hands to her side.

"Fighting's boring. Why would I fight things? That sounds like it'd hurt."

Cupping her hands around her mouth in an attempt to amplify her voice, the small child yelled back a response at the transcendent human being who had addressed their group.

"This whole place is kind of boring, though. There isn't a candy store or anything. What kind of city is this? Not the kind of city I want to live in, that's for sure. Hey, hey, if you guys aren't going to do that fighting thing that Mr. Superpower Guy just talked about, do you want to walk around with me and look for a cool store that sells cool things? It'll be like an adventure, come on!"

Hopping up and down excitedly, the defenseless little girl waited for one of her new friends to say that they'd accompany her.

One of them had to share her spirit for adventure, r-right?

@Gummi Bunnies @thewizardguy@Vocab@Cuccoruler@Kael Taiyou@Eviledd1984@Moonlit Sonata@Lmpkio@Yidhra

Gojira-San & Ryu

@Moonlit Sonata"This whole place is kind of boring, though. There isn't a candy store or anything. What kind of city is this? Not the kind of city I want to live in, that's for sure. Hey, hey, if you guys aren't going to do that fighting thing that Mr. Superpower Guy just talked about, do you want to walk around with me and look for a cool store that sells cool things? It'll be like an adventure, come on!"

A steady silence would probably engulf the entire group. Then one person makes her decision.

"I'll come." Gojira-San responds as she walks up to Yoh.

She would be like a giant compared to the little child, yet despite her giant size and title as "Destroyer of Worlds" she was usually a gentle giant amongst kids. She kneels down and offers the little girl a piggy back ride.

Meanwhile, Ryu faces Nova.

"And I'll see who our opponent is." he answers confidently, "I hadn't had a fight in awhile, so hopefully this should be easy and quick."

As Ahsoka hit the wall, Starkiller was already beginning to approach the jedi in a slowly walking pace. Suddenly, the jedi sent a rusted hunk of metal at him from his side. Already sensing it, he quickly slashes it in two. However, he was slightly late, but was able to block the jedi's swift strikes. As the force push came, he growls as he is sent flying back, but was able to concentrate and swiftly made his landing on the column. The impact was quite sudden, but nothing much. With that, he launches himself into the sky, bringing his lightsaber up into the air.

But what followed wasn't the locking of swords, but in fact Starkiller used to force to suspend him in the air for a short bit and fires force lightning from his fingers. Weather Ahsoka blocked it or not, will he suddenly ignite his lightsaber again and dash towards the ground, creating a shockwave and a small crater as he lands.

"The force is strong within you jedi..." he says to her, "But it will not save you from your end!"

@thewizardguy@Vocab@Cuccoruler@Kael Taiyou@Eviledd1984@Moonlit Sonata@Lmpkio

" Well you're rude. It isn't really nice to tell the secrets of others, especially when you have just met them. I don't know how you know I'm serving someone else, but I'll just accept it for now. I was sent to scout for life, and that is what I did. I'll report to her later, hanging around you people seems like it would be more fun~! I'm sure she wouldn't mind if I'm late. "

She probably would mind if he was just messing around, but this could still be considered as scouting. As long as he wasn't outright disobeying her, Xellos would probably be fine. Hopefully she wasn't getting too drunk, that would certainly be the worst outcome. The last time she was. . . well, Xellos didn't want to think about it.

It sounded like there would be some kind of fighting going on soon, as they group here needed to defeat a "threat." This would either be incredibly boring, or really interesting. Watching the fight would also count as scouting, so he could use this as an excuse to Zelas. It would also let Xellos gauge how powerful the people here were.

However, there was another offer. A cute little girl wanted to go exploring around the town, and see if they could buy anything at any of the stores. This was an enticing offer, but this would probably be considered 'messing around', and Zelas would surely have his head then. It might be even worse, she might lecture him. She was a cruel master, she really was.

" I'd love to go with you little girl, sadly, I can't. I'll take the trip to the threat with the rest of the group, even if I'd rather not. I have very little free time sadly, maybe another time. "

While Yoh gave a slight pout and murmured "Okay..." in response to Xellos's refusal to her genius proposal, the young girl was thoroughly excited by the prospect of a piggyback ride.

"Alright! Let's go, Miss...um..." Yoh trailed off after pumping a fist in the air, blinking confusedly as she looked at Gojira-san, tilting her head to the side slightly. "...um...what's your name, Miss Don't-Know-Your-Name?"

It appeared that Yoh's naming sense had failed her in this instance, and her actions were paralyzed until this situation had been rectified.

Truly worrisome.

Ahsoka Tano, New York City

Ahsoka grinned in success as she sent the Sith flying back, even if it didn't succeed in overly injuring him. It was a good start, and it showed that she could give just as good as she took. And in a fight like this, giving a Sith pause was a good thing.

With her lightsabers settled back into a defensive position, her gaze flew up as he leapt into the air, to suspend himself with the force before unleashing a blast of Force Lightning. That she had dealt with plenty a time, and she raised her lightsaber to block it. It didn't endure long before the Sith practically slammed down, throwing her off guard even as she managed to keep from falling, and pulled back.

"You keep thinking that," she replied calmly as she prepared to move again. She had learned a few tricks while in the Unknown Region, and she was sure that he wouldn't see them coming as she went back on the attack, striking rapidly and keeping on the move. Time to show him just how good a Jedi she was.

@Gummi Bunnies @thewizardguy@Vocab@Cuccoruler@Kael Taiyou@Eviledd1984@Moonlit Sonata@Lmpkio@Yidhra

Gojira-San

But the woman just chuckled at Yoh's cute reaction.

"Call me Gojira-San." she replies friendly as she puts the little girl on her shoulders, "Now, where would you like to go?"

@Flamelord


Once again, the jedi begins attacking and slashing with her lightsabers. Starkiller was getting bored of this repetitive slashing. After all, fighting jedi was mostly his norm and will be for the next few weeks he'll be here in this round. As he blocks Ahsoka's slashes in a fury of blocks, just being able to hold them off, he would find an opening to kick her in the chest in order to stun her and begin to lock her in a force choke, lifting her off the ground 3 meters off the ground.

"Your beginning to bore me Jedi..." he bluntly states, "Give up and rot like the scum you are!"

He had to admit, she was an interesting fighter, basically an alternative to Shaak Ti, with two lightsabers instead of one. But he thinks that she has much to learn about messing with one of the greatest jedi killers of his age.

Ika Musume jumped up as the floor beneath her changed instantaneously. As soon as the place finished changing, she began to crawl on the ground. Ika Musume knocked on the ground a few times, as if to see where everything had gone.

"How did you do that, De geso?! Humans are more powerful then I thought, De geso. How did you get the Three stooges lab here, De geso?"

Ika Musume said this all with her ear to ground. But wait... As she noticed more about the lab like area, she saw that something... was missing... Ika Musume jumped up, and began to search every corner of the room. Slowly but surely it dawned on her... There was no shrimp! And no dimtendo! How would she eat! How would she sharpen her combat skills if she couldn't play hedgehog kart and road brawlers!

Wheres the shrimp, De geso! Where's the dimtendo, De geso! Where's the TV, De geso! I can't miss Noh mask rider, or not eat shrimp, De geso! It'll krill me, De geso!"

Ika Musume began to panic. No inkvader could live without shrimp! With this realization, Ika Musume began to wobble a bit on her feet, her face went blank, and suddenly fell over. It would seem.. Somewhat pathetic. Though mostly adorable given her squid traits and age. In fact, if he was so inclined, Add would "add" all those things so as to stop her panicking.(hint hint)

Just as suddenly Ika Musume raised her head up again

It does look good though, De geso

And then her head fell back over

Ahsoka Tano, New York City

Things had been going well, and Ahsoka had managed to put the Sith on the defensive for the moment, only for him to take advantage of a slight opening to kick her, bringing the onslaught to a halt. Damn it, she had fallen to her overconfidence once more. This was made even more apparent as she was locked in a Force Choke, hand grabbing at the invisible pressure on her neck even as her dangling feet kicked futilely.

"I don't think so," she grunted as she prepared her next trick. This one she had learned from Assaj, and even though it wasn't as powerful as, say, some others she had faced, it would serve it's purpose here.

So she focused, drew on the lessons from Assaj as her mind began to falter and her vision narrowed. Then she released, free hand thrusting forward as a blast of lightning shot out, aimed directly at the Sith. Seemed the Jedi might not be so pure after all. But if it worked and he released the choke, she didn't particularly mind.

"Teleportation is merely the act of compressing the space between here and there. When one has access to the power of the Warp, one soon realizes that the laws of this world are not as solid as they may seem." With that explanation, he gestured at the wall. A crackling rift in reality opened, as he created a portal through the warp. He would rather avoid such measures, but he could sense that this battle was quite a distance from his current position, and it cost less energy to do it this way. "Of course, sometimes, it's best to take a shortcut through the realms of the Immaterium, where space is but an illusion."

He accepted that Yoh and Gojira-san would explore the city, but he did not open a portal for them. "Those of you who would confront the enemy, walk through this portal. Those who would rather explore, remain close to the palace. Here, I may directly protect you in the event of danger. But the further you walk from this palace, the more my capability to intervene decreases." The vast marble doors opened up, revealing the way to the outside world. Many tourist shops could be seen, although a few of them had been partially demolished to make way for the newly formed Imperial Palace.

He then addressed Akina, as she headed towards this newly created portal. "You, however, will remain here. I believe I may be able to help in finding the source of this distortion. However, I will need all of your knowledge on interdimensional travel. If I am to hunt down what brought us here, I must know what I am looking for. The rest of you are free to go. If I sense that you are in distress, I will open a return portal, to allow you to escape." He looked over to Akina, who was no doubt disappointed. "And I will need your permission, to enter your mind and gain the knowledge you hold. It is the fastest way, and it will be the first step to solving this dilemma." Little did Akina know that Nova referred not to their current situation, but to a far larger issue.

Meanwhile, both Asoka and Starkiller would be astounded to find a crackling rift in reality opening amidst their fighting. A divine light emanated from this rift, filling the area with a strange, reassuring presence. Several figures would emerge from this rift, who would no doubt wish to intervene with this battle. If Starkiller were not to retreat, or start utilizing his full power, he would find himself in rather dire straits indeed.

Frisk, Grand Central Terminal, Gift Shop

---

Gift shops were great.

If only there was someone at the register, maybe they'd buy something. But there was noone, just a bunch of nothing and some train models, and miniature statues of a big green lady. Maybe that still counted as nothing, tiny trains and tiny statue ladies were pretty lame. Frisk settled for browsing, eyes falling upon some of the lame trains which seemed to line the back wall of the Grand Central gift shop - or rather, this gift shop. There were a few from what they'd seen.

Among the dusty and somewhat off-coloured miniature plastic trains, one stuck out. Where the silver paint on the rest of them had sort of just become a dull grey, this one still had that NEW and FRESH train shine to it. Was it new? Had someone been looking after this one and only this one? It is a mystery. Enough so for Frisk to reach out and touch it at least -

The station, buzzing with life. No dust, no overgrowth. Hustle and bustle. Sound of the tracks in use deeper in. Cars outside. Excessive honking. Honking does not make the traffic go faster.

Frisk's hand flinched back at the brief vision, and after a moments consideration, took the train once more. They were not a genius, but they did not have to be one to know that was important.

With a pocket full of spaghetti and a magic toy train in hand, Frisk was ready for the next challenge. They didn't actually know what that was. Fresh air sounded nice, though. The child left the mysterious, plot progressing gift shop, through the terminal, and back into the outside world. Which was suddenly quite different.

I can wait, De geso... But not long before shrimpitis sets in, De geso"

Ika Musume said all this with her face still on the floor. Shortly thereafter she managed to get herself back on her feet, and continued her exploration of the Inkvasion base. It all reminded her of the Three stooges lab back in her own world. If this was their lab there was no doubt Cindy would be mad at them for losing it. She would probably take away their inventing privileges, come to think of it. Ika Musume's thoughts dwelled on that for a bit while Add worked to bring her shrimp and games into the lab. But... If this was the lab... Then that would mean they couldn't bring her home! Tears began to well up in Ika Musume's eyes, but disappeared as quickly as they came. If Eiko found out she would call her a crybaby again, and Ika didn't much li-

Ika's thoughts were interrupted by a loud sound from the distance. Almost like... Lightning? But there weren't any thunder clouds outside last she had seen. It was faint, but just loud enough to be heard inside the base. Immediately Ika Musume would try to notify Add of the sound, but whether he would pay attention, or even really care, was up to him.

It had been the greatest moment in the Brotherhood's history, their ascension. After nearly a century of war and hardship, the Prophet and his chosen had finally prepared for ascension into the great beyond, where they would forge new, great temples and continue study of Tiberium. They would be unmolested by GDI, by politics, only the faithful and the enlightened would be present to bask in the glory of Tiberium, and the leadership of Kane! The visitors had come, built their great tower, and despite the efforts of GDI, and the hated traitor Gideon, Kane's vision was realized. All had been according to his great plans and machinations. Isaac had felt such joy at that moment the prophet and the last of the implanted entered the great tower, he wept and cried out to his congregation that their moment was at hand, their salvation! In one grand flash of light, they had all vanished, whisked by the technologies of Nod and the Scrin to the great beyond. Or at least he expected they had been.

When he woke however, he felt his heart sink. He stood among the familiar constructs of man, though there was something... wrong. After what felt like hours of exploring the many homes and buildings, it was obvious what it was. There was no Tiberium. The thought made the Grand Confessor somewhat uneasy and as he shouldered his rotary rifle, he pulled his personal datapad from his armor. It took a moment for the device to spring to life, the familiar scorpion tail of the Brotherhood amidst a sea of red brought an ounce of comfort too him. Soon the EVR unit within the device spoke.

At your service, Confessor, for the glory of Kane.

"For the glory of Kane. Tell me, where in His name am I?"

Searching. Geographic references indicate that that this is Bern, Switzerland. However there is a severe discrepancy compared to the files. Current geological conditions indicate this as a Blue Zone. Previous surveys, uploaded no less than forty-eight hours ago, indicated this as a Red Zone, habitation should not be possible without the most advanced of Tiberium exposure equipment.

Switzerland, that shouldn't be. Even if the the great tower had left Earth cleansed of Tiberium (GDI and the infidels did not deserve its power), Issac should not have been there. "Can you connect me to a secure Nod channel, or locate the nearest Nod protected zone or safehouse?"

Searching. Unable to locate any active Nod, or even GDI signals or installations within range. Recommend finding shelter and then, if possible, transmitter equipment to boost this unit's signal.

Even more peculiar. Isaac returned the datapad to its compartment within his armor and continued his trek through the city. Eventually he found his way to a great structure, somewhat decayed but of grand design. The EVR identified it as The Federal Palace of Switzerland. This would do for housing, for now at least. There were several desks and couches that were still usable, many more were worn and eaten by the ravages of time. Having found a suitable couch to serve as his bed, the Confessor walked from his new dwelling onto the balcony, looking out onto the barren city. A soft chuckle escaped his lips as he thought, his despair now changed to amusement, and then purpose. "EVR, I want you to broadcast a message, locally please."

After a few passionate minutes of rhetoric, the message had been successfully transcribed and the signal sent out through the city for those with the means to receive it. Isaac carefully removed the cape from his shoulders, and using the chain which fastened it, hung it from the balcony of the his newly claimed palace. The heraldry of Nod fluttered as the wind grew stronger, The Brotherhood of Nod had arrived.
-----------

To all the faithful, the enlightened, the downtrodden, and the hopeless. I call out to you in the hopes that we might meet, we strangers in a strange land, brought to one another by the hand of fate or perhaps God. Do not despair my brothers and sisters, for here we are all the children of Kane. The Prophet in his wisdom, has sent me to you, sent US to you, for with me I carry the future of all, the key to the greatest of destinies! I have been sent to shepherd the lost, and destroy the infidels among us, for they are ever present to test our faith, even within our own lands. Yes, this is OUR land, this barren world rife with ruin, it is a cautionary tale, this is our second chance to find the true path and rule over our land. Through the power of the great green crystal, the teachings of Kane, and the technology of peace, we will reshape this world in the Prophet's image, in the ONLY image. I welcome you brothers and sisters, for this is now our home. Welcome, to the Land of Nod. ONE VISION, ONE PURPOSE!

Kirby had his mouth open and on the floor the entire time everyone was talking. Still in shock from seeing the building come out of no where. Kirby then noticed the portal. If there was on thing Kirby loved it was action, and proving he was powerful. He got into a fighting stance, he still had the powers of Ryu in him. Kindle meanwhile had flown out of Kirbies mouth awhile ago. "I think Kirby would like to go fight." Kindle said looking at Kirby getting pumped for this. Before long he inhaled, then floated into the portal, he knew that portals sometimes ended up coming out into mid air, he wasn't about to be surprised by this.

@Absolis @Gummi Bunnies

Cia had come upon what looked to be a sort of laboratory. "This could be a good stage." Cia said smiling to herself. She took out her squirt gun and shot it forward much like a machine gun almost. It left a train of ink right into the lab. Cia turned into a squid and swam through her ink. As she got inside she found what seemed to be another squid. She got closer to the creature. Ink now right next to Ika's feet. Soon enough Cia jumped out of the ink still in squid form. In mid air she became a humanoid again. "You don't look like an inkling I've ever seen, what are you?" Cia asked, while also point her squirt gun at her.
