Über Ethereal & Bambietta Basterbine
The Dark Outliners
Area Unknown -> Bern, Switzerland
It had been multiple das since the notorious Dark Outliners had made themselves conspicuous among the minority of people concerned in the affairs of the Multiverse. It would only take a casual projectile from the heavens to provoke these individuals once more into a morbid curiosity that could only lead to bad things. The crash revealed that a supposedly empty planet in this empty universe was more crowded than it should have been with notably strong power spikes in the radars of the Sectoids controlling the many computers in the ships patrolling the zone.
The Overlord of this fleet wasn't exactly present, rather it was in a bizarre dimension with nothing but a living room and white walls with a Terminal serving as the only object out of place. It simply levitated like a ghastly phantom haunting the entire area. The Uber Ethereal would only twitch when it would receive information from the Sectoid in the ship that had picked up on the meteor's trace.
"
Basterbine. We depart."
It had ordered with a raspy and demeaning voice along with an eerie echo with each syllable it uttered. The masked creature with royal red, ritualistic cloak surrounding it would levitate toward the Terminal as it expected a response from the individual it had summoned.
Bambi sat in a large chair, her legs crossed and she studied the man in front of her with vulturous eyes
"Did you take it? She said that you did, and I have to believe that it was you, this isn't the first time it's happen, so before this continues I'm giving you a chance to come clean." she had her arms crossed and tapped a finger on her arm.
The man gulped in air and shook his head
"General Ba-""Wrong answ-" she cut him off only to be cut off herself and she sighed
"Now what does he want, I cant even discipline my soldiers without getting interrupted, this better be worth the damn time, so help me god..." getting up from the chair, she grabbed a paperweight from the desk and walked past the soldier.
"Is...is that all General Basterbine?" the man looked confused and she smirkd looking back.
"Think fast..." throwing the paper weight at him, the man caught it confused until she closed the metal door and locked it behind her. Realizing what she did too late, he ran towards the door and banged on it screaming for help, only to see through the small glass hole, her looking through, a smile creeping on her face
"I knew you took it by the way, I just happened to not have the time to play with you sadly, bye bye now." she winked and turned on her heels as the man desperately tried to pull the lever to open the door.
Upon walking out of the into the hallway, an explosion was heard, but the metal room withstood the blow
"Huh...nice the room actually kept together, I'll have to thank those scientists of his..." she walked with her hands behind her back towards the Terminal and stood slightly annoyed. The Alien would already be standing within the perimeter of the strange machine they had some how appropriated in this room. It was argued that the Terminal was already there, but that had little importance.
"
A level 5 has been detected in the 'Dead Zone'. Scans have revealed the presence of other imposing beings and active entities. However, it appears the readings on the crashed creature are in harmony with what The Envisioning One is looking for."
It informed the murderous woman as it used its psionic powers to activate the Terminal and enter the surveillance ship that had contacted the Ethereal of the issue. It was cruising over the area for a short period now as multiple readings had caught the attention of the Ethereal's mighty army.
Bambi raised an eyebrow interested suddenly and stretched looking at the scans and then back to the Uber
"If it's really a Level 5 I don't think I should fight, unless you want me to use my Vollständig and well...yeah you've seen what happens. A battle between me and that thing would probably destroy the city, not that I care, but if there are other beings in 'Dead Zone', I'd rather not attract unwanted attention, as much fun as it sounds." she sighed and looked at the other scans of the other beings in the area and she saw rather normal one moving, probably in a car or transport of some sort "
why don't I start small and work my way to you, since I'm going to assume if I don't take the Lv.5, you will" she looked up at the Uber waiting for a response.
"
Then you will greet the remaining anomalies in the local area. I will secure the entity we are pursuing. Be weary, Basterbine."
With that warning, the operating Sectoids would have both executives teleport down into the city while multiple pods bled out of the invisible ship and crashed into multiple rotten buildings.
Armored Muton Elites wielding plasma gatling guns emerged by the dozen per pod. Most would close into the location of the impact while a few would encounter the Followers of Tiameus. There was going to be an inevitable conflict at this point but that didn't matter all too much to the Ethereal.
The two higher ups had been warped near the crash site and without uttering a single word, the alien would slowly glide toward the crater before stopping to see the monster that was Apocalypse lying there. To the monster, the Ethereal would look like a form of apparition, a ghost with the Psi-field distorting its figure a bit. The otherworldly attire it had didn't help in bringing familiarity to the lost being.
"
Now come, envoy of the other dimension. Speak and show us what you are."
The alien overlord was cryptic of course, but it had the goal of provoking the abomination before it to test its intelligence. That was the first step, and depending on where it'd go, the right initiative would be taken.
@thewizardguyBeing teleported far closer to her target, she looked behind her and saw the ships landing where the impact had been
"So much for being subtle, but it does look cool? I guess?" she spoke outloud to herself and focused her attention ahead and started towards the car that was away from the impact location, thinking, maybe a more vulnerable approach would work in this situation, stopping, she took her hat off, placing it on the roof top and forming a small blade. Cutting her cloths, she took her cloak off and pulled a sleeve off and fell back, laying in ash and it getting all over her clothes. Looking down at the ripped and tattered appearance she smirked
"Nice job if I do say so myself..." jumping down from the building, she began running towards the now approaching car.
Looking now she saw that there was also another being following the car and she readied herself for a fight if need be, going from a nearby alley way, she waved her arms and hobbled to the middle of the road
"HEY!?! PLEASE STOP!?!" she held her right arm as if she was in pain and seemingly braced her body for an impact from the car, if the car showed no signs of stopping, she would blow it up or move out of the way, or both depending on her mood, but for now she would play a girl in need of help and warning to not continue on the path that the car was heading. However there was also the problem of the entity behind the car, it was different from the scan of the being in the car, and would probably serve much more trouble, hopefully it was able to be reasoned with.
