Absolis continued to tend to Ika, but quickly noticed something he hadn't before. A strange man was standing over the two of them. The realization that this man had managed to sneak up on the pair startled Absolis. He quickly jumped up and pointed his sword at the person.

"Who are you. And why are you here?"

Absolis asked as he glared at the man. No doubt he would recognize that this was not a person to be trifled with, and so for his sake he would answer honestly. And perhaps notice that Ika was starting to wake up?

Oh my! So many friends about for kolon! First apocalypse, then these people who brought Saber with them. And now a whole bunch of other people. Oh, but all the other people with the vehicles looked so tired and unhappy. Kolon would signal to rally all the other kolons around him. The four winged kolons, the four normal kolons, and the two larger kolons. Who were about 3"5. Kolon would then split the kolons up to handle all the things they needed to do, since by this time the kolon hut was finished. Kolon would hand the two winged kolons several friend grenades, which they would place... somewhere. Even the ethereal would have trouble pinpointing where exactly they went. Though he would sense them. And they would seemingly seem to... multiply exponentially. Kolon would then signal them to begin dropping the grenades over the columns of yakuza. It would be no doubt that none of them would try to shoot them down, as they would be distracted by how adorable they were. On top of that, if anyone tried their genius intellect would allow them to predict and dodge anything shot at them. And thus they would begin a friend grenade bombing, which would inevitably affect most of the yakuza.

Kolon then took the two larger kolons aside, and pointed towards the remains of the palace. It would only take them moments to return with the regenerating body of Nova. Though, they wouldn't let anyone see it before they brought it into the kolon hut. From inside a door could be hear closing.

Finally, Kolon and the other four kolons took the ethereal, Apocalypse, and Saber by the hands and would lead them into the kolon hut. Being that they were a non threat, it was doubtful Apocalypse would mind. Especially considering that even if something were to happen, he would be mostly alone with them and the ethereal to do as he liked with them. If it was allowed to happen, no doubt the ethereal would notice that despite looking like the rest of the architecture found in Cyanos universe, it would be much stronger. In fact, even though it had been made of normal materials, the techniques used in building it meant it would be doubtful even apocalypse could damage it. On the inside, the ethereal would notice that there were several devices even he had not seen before. No doubt this would lead to curiosity on his part, and he would try to look into the kolons to see what it was. But if he were to attempt that, all he would find would be static. All he would hear from them would be static. Almost as if whatever genius was to be found in their minds, it was so far along that even the ethereal could not comprehend it.

As soon as the kolons began to move, Banha was immediately shoved behind his bodyguards. They raised their guns threateningly, fingering the triggers. A second later, the nearest biotics raised shields over him, his men and the tank. Three seconds later, the tank next to them emitted a powerful kinetic shield to enforce the shields. An Elcor to his right powered up his miniaturised Thanix Magnetic-Hydrodynamic Weapon, military grade tech that had enough power to rival a frigate or even a cruiser.

Five seconds later, the rest of the column quickly deployed shields, turrets at the ready if need be. By five seconds, all of his men had raised their guns, ready but unsure if the targets were hostile or not. This was standard for the Yakuza. If you looked at the boss in the wrong way, they will be ready to pepper you with rounds and incinerate you with heavy weapons.

Except this time, the beings that threatened him looked to be adorable cat people. Banha doubted that the response was entirely needed but it was helpful that even though your men were exhausted, they would die for you no matter what. Still, it was slightly embarrassing to be shoved onto the ground in front of people you don't know.

When one of the flying cat people dropped something on top of them, a Mantis almost went and intercepted the cat person by blowing it out of the sky. The adorable thing dropped it on a group of unsuspecting Quarians outside of a kinetic shield. The results were.... confusing. They were covered by this strange blue mist, coming and spewing.

This continued on for several seconds until all of the Quarians seemed to become more.... cute. They began hugging each other, becoming smaller and blown up. A word seemed to pop in his head out of nowhere "chibi". One, a Quarian with intricate designs on their purple suit, began to hug one of the kinetic shields that were enforced with biotics and tried to cuddle with it. The gas seemed to not give any strain for the biotic barriers but the kinetic ones.... didn't work.

Many of his troops seemed to be enraptured by this, so caught on that they didn't realise that they should be shooting them down. Many Yakuza turned chibi that day, only the lucky few in biotic barriers seemed to hold up. One of the chibi Quarians went and to hug one of the cat people.

If a Batarian could sweat drop, Banha would be doing it right now. The Cat people weren't hostile, they just seemed to make people... "chibi." As the mist covered their barrier, he was just thankful he didn't get caught by one of those cat people. Getting up from his position on the ground, he climbed on top of the Mako and used one of the megaphones next to the currently stunned Sivius.

Banha made sure that the thing was on before saying happily "Uh, we come in peace. We don't really know where we are, so uh... You know. We're not bad Yakuza. We're more like the Rebels than anything." As the gas covered the barrier, he finished with "We have rice and snacks?"

Sivius held his head in his hands.

[@Lmpiko]

In the skies above the ruined city of Los Angeles, a dimensional rift opens wide, tearing asunder the already fragile and frayed fabric of reality that was barely keeping the world together; unlike most other tears, this one was no "natural" phenomenon but a deliberate and willful attempt by someone or something to enter the broken world with the use of some very powerful and advanced technology.

Seconds pass and at the very moment the rift had stabilized enough to allow safe passage, a dark grey and silver blur screams out of the tear; moving as fast as a bullet, crossing several hundred meters within milliseconds before coming to a stop directly above the city. The mysterious visitor, gazing down upon the once pristine city, now ravaged by conflict and chaos; it pondered on how it may have once represented the hope of a better future; now it is nothing more than a monument to the waste of promise its creators had held. However, the moment it realizes that this broken world was actually a simulacrum of a certain insignificant blue ball of dust; the visitor lets out a keening, metallic chuckle; amused and slightly ashamed for actually feeling pity for the lowly humans. It's mirth and curiosity satisfied for now, the creature puts its senses to use in an attempt to find who or whatever its master had sent it here for, and to its surprise; the first thing it detects is an incredibly familiar signature: A massive gravitational anomaly, a phenomenon that shouldn't really be in the gravity well of a Planet as small as Earth, let alone exist for any extended period of time.

Knowing that this signature can only be caused by one creature in the entire cosmos, the visitor makes a beeline towards it; albeit at a slower speed than how it had exited the rift, as crashing into any of the still-standing spires and/or skyscrapers in its massively reduced stature and seeing if it survives is not an idea it would like to entertain.

@hamstrong

It seems Sam didn't hear her. Reason enough to get him out of the way... but meh. Too much effort. Not that it mattered much. She would suddenly hear the ethereal again, telling her more stuff to do. Quite annoying honestly. Though, less so. The instant teleporter she had taken from Saber began to whir back to life, finally recovering from the electric wave. This made things a bit simpler for her.

Wiping the dust off of herself, Cyano went and hopped on top of the giant robots body. For the most part it seemed dead. Though Cyano knew better. Robots don't die, they shut off. The only way to kill one was through dismantling it. So she would have to work on that when she got to her makeshift labs.

Cyano entered in a few coordinates, and instantly her, Sam, and the giant robot would find themselves in the midst of a large camp with a makeshift lab in the center. Temporary shelters were being set up by outward, while scientists typed into computers to create instant permanent structures. Cyano went up to one of the scientists and gestured towards the robot. The scientist knew what she meant and gathered a crew from some of the people milling about.


Of course, now that that was taken care of, it was time for a quick nap. By the time she woke up, the robot would be missing it's legs, arms, and be chained up somewhere for further study. Perhaps they could find out what made it tick? Though it was doubtful it wpull offer them anything, perhaps they could sell the information to the ethereals.

@The_written_John@Archmage MC@Gummi Bunnies


As Ryu and his team began to walk down Liberty St, he began to slightly sulk as he carries Shin on his back. With these new arrivals, how is he and the original group be able to find and concentrate on the terminal to take them home? Let alone without Nova's guidance, even if going to battle was perhaps... unwise if anything. But he believes that finding their way home will come later... for Arcadia-1 needs to be liberated by these multiversal threats, which could ultimately spell doom for his and other universes if they weren't careful. But where to start in this vast city...?

"Ryu, you seem really sad. Whats the matter?" Light would ask curiously.

Ryu then shakes his consciousness back to Earth.

"O-Oh. *Ahem* It's nothing." he simply responds back with a grunt as he continues carrying the fat cat.

"Er... do you need help with that?" Elsword then recommends.

"Later." he then says, "Maybe once we sit down somewhere... But thanks for the offer."

"Thanks Elsword. Now I can try cheering him up with slapstick!"

Ryu turned his head around slightly at the mentioning of slapstick. What was she going to do? Light pulls out a hole from her dress and hops in it, appearing a good ways up the street, and very high in the air. Of course she also popped out the side of a building, so immediately began to fall to the ground. Unknown to her though, when she landed, instead of making a small crater in her shape, a loud wet 'THWACK' could be heard as if she landed on water. Ryu couldn't help but to chuckle a bit as she landed in water.

"Ow..." She said, her entire front a bright red color. "That... ow... wasn't supposed to happen. ow..." Punching the ground in annoyance, she found that it was made out of some sort of rubber substance, instead of stone. Pulling herself up and shaking off the red pain marks, she said. "Well, the street isn't made of what I thought it was. Man belly flopping on solid ground hurts."

"Be careful." the champion simply says as he helps her up, with slight struggle, but was still able to do so.

"Did that cheer you up or weird you out? Usually its both." Light laughs in response.

Ryu only smiles.

"Yeah. It did a bit."

He then helps her up and they continue to walk down the road.

On the opposite side, Gojira-San was leading her squad down Manchester, and like Ryu, was unsure on how and where to start. Thankfully for her, she didn't have to carry any fat cats, or anyone really. Except Yoh... poor little Yoh. She just remembered about her and wondered where she went off back in the previous multiverse. Either way, its beyond old news. She needed to focus at the mission at hand. Find allies, maybe a terminal, and then regroup at 6. Simple and easy... or so it should be. In the meantime, it seems as Plutia and Neptune were having an... interesting(?) conversation.

"Since we're off to do some sort of important main story quest, I'm totally going to take up tons of side quests and even stock up on status items. I'll also keep my eyes out for anything hidden, like those super secret Easter Eggs!"

"Nep Nep, I don't think they would take credits as currency, silly."

"Really Plutie? Then I'll just do the quests anyways and hopefully get some rewards from it!"

It was then where Neptune began holding a doll up, which in fact, that doll looked pretty accurate to Neptune. Looks like the two of them known each other for quite a while.

"Nice doll... so where ya from, an alternate earth or something? Ya'll from there or am I the only gal livin' in the big blue earth?" She said to most of the others trying to make a little conversation while they were on the move. "I mean, I don't wanna sound rude or anything just wondering where ya guys are form... Oh and I almost forgot... what are we looking for anyways... Allies perhaps?"

"Yes." Gojira-San replies, "As much as we want to go home... I don't think Nova would want us to flee like cowards... even though we just lost a battle... and him..."

A growl escapes from her maw in frustration, yet is still able to keep her cool level.

"I've never been there," Ahsoka responds to Jolyne curiously, "What's it like?"

"A big blue planet." Gojira-San responds, "Seven continents, warm and humid towards the equator, cold and snowy at the poles. 7.3 billion humans live on it, and plenty of wildlife to go around. It's a pretty nice place."

"Megatron is not my leader. That fool is nothing more than a pathetic usurper, taking away my rightful place as the true leader of the Decepticons! Besides, I have found myself marooned in a foreign world. I have been unable to contact my fellows, let alone have a means of transporting them here."

The Alliance looked at Starscream carefully. Not sure if he was lying... or if he was saying the truth. Ghidorah holds her hand out another time for him to wait as they began to discuss the situation at hand.

"So it seems Starscream wants to take over the Decepticons as its rightful ruler?"

"It appears so. I believe he wants us to overthrow him... and in return get us the troops we need."

"What if it's a trap? What if he's trying to fool us?"

"Even if he does... the Decepticon warriors are no match for us! For good reason too..."

Ultron nods as the discussion breaks up, with the Conquerers then looking at Starscream.

"Starscream." Ghidorah-San announces, "You happen to find a lucky jackpot! We have the means of teleporting you to your universe of... Cybertron. But we must see the amount troops you speak of. If you keep to your word... we might even add a substantial bonus for your help."

It was then when she senses something from above. Yet she felt a presence she had not felt for years. An old friend to be percise. Was it who she think it is? She looks up to the sky for a brief moment to see if she can find where this thing is.

@Flamelord@thewizardguy@Lmpkio@SgtEasy@Absolis


"Biollante. Search the area for this Psionic energy flowing out of this structure as well as the area we detected the Multiversial Breach."

"Understood." the classy kaiju-hybrid responds as she sends several tendrils out towards the Palace structure.

Yet these tendrils had what looks to be venus-flytrap-like heads, all squirming around and yip-yelping as the search the ruins. Biollante stands at the entrance of the palace, standing in place as she observes the structure for any psionic energy. It would've been a magnificent temple at it's prime... or so she thinks. After some looking around, she started detecting some Psionic energy. One of her tendrils found what appears to be the back of a toy train. As Biollante inspects it, she senses a ton of Psionic energy coming from it. Is this what was left of a terminal? Was this how a group of survivors escaped the horrific onslaught? Either way, this will provide great evidence for Ethereal. She leaves the palace and comes back to the leader, giving him the train piece with one of her tendrils.

"Ethereal." she says as she gives him the piece, "It appears I found the remains of a toy train. However, its going rampant with psionic energy. I believe this was once a terminal in which perhaps a group of survivors escaped the battle?"

@Absolis@SgtEasy@Savato@Lmpkio
Apocalypse casually bats aside on of the tiny furry creatures as it attempts to lead him towards the hut. Apocalypse had no intention of entertaining their little plans, although he wasn't actively hostile to them. The gesture sent the kolon flying, and it reduced itself to a red sheen on a nearby brick wall. This quite probably discouraged other nearby kolons from attempting to influence the grey giant. Apocalypse's attention, however, was taken up by the Ethereal. As always he had eyes only for the strongest being in the room, and as current the agent of the Dark Outliners filled that spot nicely. "You said you would bring me to this realm's strongest warriors. But perhaps I overstep the boundaries of our agreement." The grey goliath grinned. "Of course, this would make you valid prey once more. I would rip your body to shreds, tear your little ship from the sky, and annihilate whatever Envisioning One you claim to work for."

Apocalypse turns, casually strolling towards the Yakuza. "Take some time to think about it. Weigh your chances. Decide whether you want to be with me, or against me. Call your toy soldiers, and call in your nukes. I'll be over here if you need me." With those parting words, Apocalypse turned his full attention to the others that now occupied the area.

The cat creatures that had assisted in his resurrection had infested the place, constructing some manner of device and spreading those strange grenades all over the place. He felt no grattitude towards them, however they were clearly not a priority target. Their diminutive physical capabilities made them boring opponents, regardless of their intelligence. Furthermore they didn't form any threat to his well-being, as they had clearly shown themselves to be non-hostile. As such, he chose to dismiss them until later. He would kill them, of course, but only once he was done with the rest of this planet.

A small army of aliens had formed outside the ruins of the palace. Apocalypse looked them over, however, and they clearly didn't form a threat to his well-being, nor would they be interesting opponents. Armies were boring to fight, offering no real challenge. Even with their supposedly more advanced gear, the yakuza were basically just cannon fodder, and their presence as such was negligible. Although, their tanks might make quite an effective projectile weapon should the situation call for it.

No, there was not a single worthy opponent within this area. As such, he'd simply have to pass the time until the Ethereal made it's decision, or called in it's forces. Grinning, Apocalypse approached the Yakuza, the friendified first lines approaching the goliath in a daze. Apocalypse ripped through them, moving far faster than the human eye could possibly follow. A dark grey blur, leaving a trail of blood and death in it's wake, dozens of Yakuza decimated in the blink of an eye. Every Yakuza that had been affected by the friend grenades was annihilated within a mere moment, a second at most, as the supersonic monster literally reduced them to a fine red mist. Those within the shields would find themselves treated to a momentary show, before Apocalypse focused it's attention on them.

This would be fun.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As the Kolons retrieved Nova's body, they could already observe it healing. Strands of flesh knitted back together, and bones regrew from the pulp they had been reduced to. The body was mostly already rebuilt, and it clearly would not be long before the God Emperor was reborn in this world once more. However, more worryingly, Warp energy sparks around the body. Even as slowly Nova's mind returns to his physical form, a torrent of energy forms around his body. Purple lightning and phantom lights fill the hut where he's brought, and perfectly sound equipment begins to malfunction randomly. It was a phenomenon that could not be studied, could not be quantified. The God Emperor would be reborn in mere moments, and it was clear that he would not be happy when he awoke.

Light - Arcadia 2

"I'm fine, I'm fine." Light said after Ryu helped her up. "I'm pretty much indestructible. Otherwise I wouldn't have fell from 50 meters like that." She continued, sticking her tongue out playfully.

After walking along for a few moments, Light asked the group. "So... What is everyone doing here anyway?" With a large tooth grin, she continued. "I'm here to have fun, and you guys looked fun to hang around." Dropping her grin, she concluded. "I hope I'm not wrong in thinking you'd all be fun to hang around."

Moving around to Ryu's left, she leaned herself on his shoulder, looking at the surrounding city. "I'm pretty sure you aren't from around here either. If I remember right, you should be beating the crap out of a car or something. Not wandering around a supposed Utopia." She said, flipping off Ryu and walking beside him.

She gestured to Elsword and Shin, the latter of which was still sleeping. "I mean, I'm sure the swordsman there or our little arsonist cat here aren't from around here either." Moving to run a few circles around Elsword, getting a better look at him to confirm her suspicions before moving to walk between Elsword and Ryu. "But what do I know, I just appeared in a wheat field after coming from a world filled with mushrooms and stars that made you huge or shiny. Man that was a fun place." She said smiling.

@Lmpkio



Getting closer and closer to the anomaly, the visitor starts to find it odd that the City was astonishingly intact; perhaps the one he sought was resting after a mighty struggle with the locals? If such is the case, it should have seen it by now; as it's not easy to miss a 60 meter tall three headed golden dragon, yet... He was nowhere to be found! Just as the visitor felt more and more frustrated and confused, it detects life signs; fairly significant, with one somewhat resembling that of the Xillien Keizer's and another being some form of machine with a completely unknown kind of energy signature pulsing inside of it, though none near the level of Kaiju or other living weapons. However, it is also the center of the gravitational anomaly, meaning that the Dragon could possibly have become just like it? Reduced but nevertheless capable? Eager to find out, the visitor makes a heading towards the group.

What Queen Ghidorah and others who would follow her gaze will see rapidly approaching their group from the sky above is an indistinct, vaguely humanoid dark gray and silver shape with a long tail swishing behind it; if they were merely using their eyes; it wasn't clear just what was approaching, perhaps a ghost? To the enhanced senses several of the conquerors possess however, they will immediately know that it is an unnatural thing; flesh and machine working perfectly as one in dark harmony, unlike the crude, restrictive and patchwork cybernetics of Starkiller and his former master. The reactions were immediate: Junketsu began to glare hatefully at the incoming specter, demanding the abomination be destroyed, Ultron expressing interest and well-concealed excitement like a mechanical engineer finding a fully intact sample of alien technology, Starkiller, courtesy of the Dark Side, felt an ugly mix between curiosity, envy and hatred at the creature that has a far better body than the one he was hobbled with, Starscream regarded the new arrival with annoyance masked by cocky indifference, this was his moment after all! Though hiding somewhere safe and then planting a bomb on its back should it prove hostile and powerful isn't beyond the silver snake. And as for Queen Ghidorah, the dark grey and silver specter merely confirms the visitor's identity: Gigan, Kaiju assassin of M Space Hunter Nebula. Yet... There was something very off about the alien cyborg and it was frustrating that she couldn't put what exactly wasn't right about her ally!

Finally making eye contact with the life signs and ground zero of the anomaly, Gigan couldn't believe his eyes; there was no King Ghidorah! But his sensors told him that the source of the anomaly was the golden-haired human female, wearing what can only be described as a costume that mocked the golden dragon by having his likeness be emulated by the lowly humans he so very loathed. Confused and a bit angry that a kaiju that he had feared and respected would be insulted in such a brazen manner by a mere human, Gigan considered slaying her for such disrespect; but his sensors do not lie: Whatever that disgusting creature is, the gravitational anomaly was as great and powerful as the one the true king of terror creates with his mere presence and it wouldn't be a stretch to assume that it possesses the same power. With that in mind, Gigan makes his final approach and comes to an almost instantaneous stop several hundred feet above the conquerors.

The rest of the conquerors and the ones who had sensed his approach in the first place are finally greeted to the sight of the newcomer, who hovered above them like the shroud of death; that unknown to all but the Queen of Terror, was the last thing that millions of living creatures saw before oblivion took them, even if they did know; they would have a hard time believing it as the creature above them looked like the result of a dinosaur, a hawk and a tray of surgical tools were all fused together, normally; such a fusion of numerous frightening things would result in some sort of nightmare monstrosity, but in this case they instead formed an upright, blade-armed robotic reptile-chicken with a buzzsaw on its stomach that stood about two to three meters in height. For several tense moments, everything was silent and still...

@dirty slime@Lmpkio

Starscream's arrogance bloomed once he had gained the foothold he required. While regaining his forces would be difficult, it would be far from impossible. The Decepticons were a rowdy bunch of warriors, all united under the fear, or respect, of Megatron's strength. The only option for him would be to show that he was stronger than Megatron. To him, this would be a simple task, as he was vastly superior to Megatron in every way!

"Megatron has no doubt dragged my forces on some foolish crusade to crush the Autobots ship a second time. I am-" His little speech was interrupted as some kind of ... monster dropped from the sky before them. The impertinent beast had stolen his spotlight, and that simply would not do. No, it was more than that, it was unacceptable! Nobody stole Starscream's glory and lived without regretting it!

In the moments after it's arrival, he began to prepare for battle. He took a step backwards, and flexed his hands. He was already calculating which route around the beast he should take if things came to a fight. He definitely knew that he would want to retain control of the air, and so his vehicular form was the preferable method to defeating this potential threat.



((Shockwave coming soon))

Saten Ruiko, New York City, Arcadia-1

Ruiko looked around nervously as the conversation went on, the large being and the Ethereal conversing in tones that indicated they weren't exactly the best of friends. And the warning delivered to her hardly helped in that matter, as if she needed further warning to be careful at this point. With all the sorts of things going on, she could hardly act otherwise, now could she? It wasn't helped by...whatever they were talking about, which was so much gibberish to her. But she figured that she would find out sooner or later.

"Hey, what about me," she cried, lurching after the Ethereal as he and the others were led off, along with some guys body. . What, was she not important enough to come with them? She'd have been angry about that, if it weren't for all the attention focusing on the new arrivals, with what looked like a military convoy as her gaze hardened into a stern frown. As far as she cared, the military could go burn. They probably weren't any better than Anti-skill.

But even that couldn't prepare her for what happened next, as the figure from before attacked the military. Her eyes widened in sheer shock as it ripped through them, barely even pausing and sending bodies and debris flying that. Tha-That was worse than Accelerator! How could she fight against something like that?!?

SHe could only stand dumbfounded and watch, while hoping that it's gaze did not turn her way.

---

Ahsoka Tano, Eastgate City, Arcadia-2

Ahsoka listened calmly as Gojirah explained what Earth was like. It seemed like a nice enough place, though a far cry from the sprawling city of Coruscant, or the water of Kamino. But she was hardly surprised with how diverse planets were anymore, after so long exploring the galaxy and everything in it.

Before she could comment though, the group found themselves approached by someone else. Ahsoka would shrug then, eyeing up the stranger. "It's not that much," she noted idly. "I've seen planets with a lot more people on them." Good lord, was that true. 7 billion was nothing compared to Coruscant. He was a blond human in a suit, and he seemed to have some idea of what was going on here. Wasn't that lucky then. Or perhaps not, for as she reached out with the Force, she found something very...weird. It was like his presence in the Force was muddled, uncertain.

"Ahsoka Tano," she said with a slight bow, keeping her guard up nonetheless. There was something weird with him, and until she knew what it was she would be careful around him. In this place, better to be safe than sorry.

---

Right out of the blue the Kolons went full Oompa Loompa on the intimidating monsters of the group by holding their hands and dragging them into their makeshift base. The Ethereal couldn't quite grasp the situation as it seemed a little too surreal, even for such a strange psionic being like it. Apocalypse rejected them eventually, and seemed to behave in a non-hostile manner toward them, a just as bizarre thing to observe from such a beast. The alien could only conclude that its sentience did have its effect on its linear purpose in existence. It was convinced that eventually Apocalypse would likely transcend this simple goal, for better or for worse. The fact that, despite its aggressiveness, didn't actually display any real violence to the Outliners only increased the overlord's expectations concerning its evolution.

As for Ruiko, the alien wasn't too satisfied that it would be separated from her, mostly because there were powerful energy sources everywhere. These Yakuza, even if they were peaceful, still displayed a force mighty enough to quickly kill her, especially after what she displayed against only four Berserkers. Though these worries would quickly be brushed away by the immense amount of information held in this building. The technology was insanely advanced, transcending Conablum labs and likely theirs as well. The hardware seemed easy enough to replicate, however when attempting to decode what they held, the extraterrestrial could barely make anything of it. What this held was beyond knowledge, beyond information it could simply gather. To the Ethereal, this was almost madness. It would only be thanks to Biollante that it would have stopped burning its mind on the subject.

"Hmmm. Very well. Have it extracted by the Mechtoids and delivered to the Research Overseer. Also, supervise Ruiko Saten. We may have to evacuate in a hurry."

It ordered Biollante before reaching the room the Kolons had brought Nova's regenerating body to. Upon witnessing the abomination, the alien was at a loss for words. Data displayed Nova's power and the Ethereal was clearly aware of what it could entail, but as a Psionic, what it felt was beyond what it could imagine. Never has it encountered such a being. The Psychic energy coming from this "man's" body was evidently superior to the 'Gift' in many ways, but also resembled it a lot. While Apocalypse was indeed a stunt to play with, if they were to attempt to control this, they would likely be going against their very principles as The Dark Outliners. But in the end, whether they'd like it or not, Nova was their enemy and would bring forth complications no matter the alternative.

They needed to stop his awakening, or seal him long enough from his powers to eventually understand and regulate it. Alone, it couldn't do this, it needed at least another superior mind at hand.

'Conablum. Synchronize your teleporter with this one. Your immediate presence is urgently needed.'

'Biollante. Prepare the Terminal, evacuation may be at a moment's reach.'

It pleaded, making it very clear that there was a very good reason for her to come at this very moment. Both Biollate and Ruiko heard the second transmission, they would not be ignorant of the potential end of times Arcadia may face if they would not control this situation. The Alien knew very well that with Nova's return, and the power he had displayed, there'd be no reason for him to not simply lay waste to everything in this world. After all, it was safe to assume he was defending his followers long enough for them to use that portal they had detected.

"Kolon, Rivard. We must prevent this man from awakening, for now. Is there anything in your arsenal capable of this type of feat? There is no time to waste."

@thewizardguy@savato@lmpkio

Hmm? Oh, so he needed him to not wake up? Kolon could do that. The two larger kolons exited the room they had set nova in. This was all quite a bit of work for the kolons. So perhaps it was time to play a game. Kolon handed the two larger kolons a few grenades, and again they would place them somewhere. With a few kolon words exchanged, one of them would begin throwing a rather... excessive amount towards a slot in the door. It was large enough for them to go in, and the trajectory was perfect, so all of them would go in. While that kolon was doing that, Kolon would lead the other kolon to a machine with a helmet and a chair connected to a screen. It looked almost like an electric chair.

Like a good kolon, the larger kolon would sit in the chair while Kolon fiddled around with some controls. The helmet lowered, the kolon would become rigid, and suddenly the screen would turn on. Bringing the ethereals attention to the screen, it would begin to play the kolons memories from before it was kolonized. Of course, at first everything seemed normal. Though the ethereal would notice that the kolon seemed a bit bigger in the memories. It would see novas death, the conquerors discussion being interrupted by the tremendous destructive power of Ika Musume, and then. Things would get weird. The memories of the events of the chibification of the conquerors and apocalypse would play. All of it from the kolons point of view. And finally, the kolon turning into a kolon. Regardless of what he had just seen, he would probably realize that the machine was a memory extractor. He would also realize this kolon was one of the last survivors of the battle.

After a good amount of grenading, supposing it had worked, and nova had not regenerated, the kolon would take the now even more exploded body of nova, and set it down on a pad near the back of the hut while everyone was watching the screen. With a few simple keystrokes, Novas body would be sent through the strands of time and space, and would send him somewhere. Though the most likely places for him to appear would be in a world of either zombies or cats?

As the humongous, deadly, threatening alien feared through the chibified ranks of Yakuza, Banha narrowed his eyes. Soon, dozens of Yakuza were obliterated in seconds. Men he knew, people who trusted him. Friend and comrade were killed, destroyed by a freak of nature. He continued to rip through the ranks, blood splattering against his armoured skin. It seemed to treat them like playthings, regarding them as nothing but fodder.

"YAKUZA!!! FUCK THE SHIT OUT OF THIS THING!" His men roared and their guns raged with them. Mako tanks fired, spitting round after round at the monster. Elcor fired their Thanix cannons, firing as one with enough firepower of destroy a dreadnought. Others used Cain's, a select few firing a Collector Particle Beam. Grenades were thrown, biotics were launched at the monster. A trio of Asari launched a Warp at it, trying to make it float in the air. The rest just shot the thing up with anything they could, from SMG's to Assault Rifle's, the monster felt the Yakuza's wrath.

But it didn't seem to do anything. Even when the Dragon was unleashed, it was nothing compared to this thing's power. As it floated on top of a pile of corpses, it seemed to be belittling them. Daring them to try to kill him. Banha was thrown off the Mako and dragged away by Varhak from the firefight and strapped him to a pole to prevent him from dying.

The Krogan turned towards the being, drawing his gravity hammer. An ancient Krogan weapon, dozens of years old. It crackled with power, coming from a time before the Genophage. He roared, charging at Apocalypse with his swinging hammer. The hammer had enough power to crack a mountain. He aimed for where the creature's skull would be. 'We live by the Blade.'

"Exiting universal jump, Ma'am."

The Transcendence was the first ship to suddenly and violently appear in the atmosphere of Arcadia-2. There was a loud crack as if a lightning bolt struck that reverberated across the farmland below and eventually reached the city that lay just on the horizon. Several more ships would appear shortly after, each with its own audible entrance to anyone and everything in range of the entry point. Even after the last shockwave of entry had swept through the land, denizens of this area could hear and feel the low rumbling of the ships' powerful engines.

"Sitrep. Where are we?" Miranda Keyes sternly called out to no individual in particular. "Earth, although I don't think this is the one we were looking for, Ma'am." Someone from the command deck called back. "Then take us out of atmosphere. Deploy all drones and sweep the planet for confirmation. Put scout teams on standby and send them out before we escape atmosphere." Miranda ordered as she leaned back in her chair, rubbing her chin quizzically as the officers and enlisted saluted with a "Yes, Ma'am!". She was sure that they had been on course for Arcadia-1 so why had they ended up elsewhere. Data was limited but they were looking for a barren Earth, not one that was still lush.

The whole fleet began a steady ascent with a trajectory that would have them fly over the nearby city in an unintentional but impressive display of power. The ships were far up in the stratosphere before they reached the city so risk of impact was just as likely as the fleet being interpreted as hostile, entirely ignoring the city. The only thing invasive was the loud rumbling of their engines as they flew overhead. It didn't take a keen eye to notice that it was a mix of ships but it would take a very keen one to notice the call to arms painted on each ship. A large black bird with a red background was printed on every ship, a symbol that most wouldn't know but the Birds of Prey were scattered and large enough that a few might.

Right as the ships had cleared the city, Pelican transports were dispatched carrying small scouting crews to follow the drones in their search for the terminal to Arcadia-1.

"So... What is everyone doing here anyway?" asked Light with a grin, "I'm here to have fun, and you guys looked fun to hang around." Dropping her grin, she concluded. "I hope I'm not wrong in thinking you'd all be fun to hang around."

Ryu simply sighs, almost depressingly. If only Light knew what he and his group just came out of...

"I'm pretty sure you aren't from around here either. If I remember right, you should be beating the crap out of a car or something. Not wandering around a supposed Utopia. I mean, I'm sure the swordsman there or our little arsonist cat here aren't from around here either. But what do I know, I just appeared in a wheat field after coming from a world filled with mushrooms and stars that made you huge or shiny. Man that was a fun place."

A long pause occurs as Ryu tries to muster up on how to explain to Light what's going on.

"... You see." Ryu slowly begins, "As much as we would like to have some fun... me and the people I came with came out of a battle. A defeated one. Lead by an incredibly worthy ally, we held back against what appeared to be an alliance of some sorts. We thought we would win, but unfortunately... we lost... and our leader sacrificed himself while trying to buy us some time to escape via a terminal, which... lead us out here. Shin wasn't with us however..."

Another pause as he looks to the ground.

"Now we're here to regroup... and perhaps find some allies to help us fight them... though we need to recuperate first."

He then looks over to Light.

"That's why we look so depressed."

"It's not that much," Ahsoka noted idly. "I've seen planets with a lot more people on them."

But before Gojira can answer back, the group was interrupted by someone.

"A pretty nice place you say...? How interesting, and just brimming with wildlife you say? How many humans did you say again? seven point three... billion?" Spoke a soft inquisitive voice in front of Gojira's group.

Gojira-San's senses kick up as she stares at this newcomer. The man's eyes gazed at the hybrid, though he wasn't that small himself, at 6 feet 6 inches in height, though he was obviously smaller than Gojira-San.

"Do you mind?" she remarks back defensively, for he looked... how should one say... odd.

"Sorry for approaching you so directly! it's just I notice you have a bit of a rag-tag group, that doesn't exactly fit with this timeline! And as you can possible guess yourself, neither do I... Unfortunately I seemed to have ... found myself here through a portal of some description... This world is fascinating however, its as if the realities of many realms twist and merge together here...! And since you all seem like your not from here either, I wanted to join you! Would you kindly allow me to accompany your group?"

A silent grunt escapes the hybrid's maw as she eyes him carefully.

"Your name?" asks Gojira-San again without emotion, with her senses on high alert.

"Call me Alexander... Alexander Shizuku... It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance~"

He did sound friendly enough, but she just can't trust him completely. Yet even if things take off, she feels she can take him on. Or maybe its just her animalistic senses acting up. With a nod, she acknowledges his offer.

"Likewise." she replies slowly as she continues walking, "Now... what brought you here?"

As the Conquerers and Starscream watch above, they can see Gigan entering the atmosphere and descending towards their location. Yet this thing didn't look friendly at all. Satsuki watches above, her Junkestu silently urging her to destroy it, Ultron being already able to scan it was interested in such specimen, Bowser being on high alert, and Starkiller having an ugly mix of curiosity and envy towards it. But Ghidorah can finally recognize who it was. It was Gigan, the M Space Hunter Nebula alien! Back in her universe, he was a loyal and faithful ally to her, as well as his close "brother" Megalon, the giant Beetle of Seatopia. The three were a vicious combination of strength and intelligence, giving Gojira-San and her allies all a run for their money.

But this one was different. He was around the same height as the one he knew, at least in kaiju form, but she sensed no aura of a human within him. This must be some alternate Gigan who must be debating if she was the real or a fake Ghidorah. However... she had a plan to draft him in the Alliance regardless. As the Conquerers began to ready their weapons, the Queen of Terror simply signaled them to stop with her right arm extending to her side. As they obliged, Ghidorah-San slowly approached him, taking several slow steps towards him. She stopped around 5 meters away from him, looking into his eyes without fear.

"Gigan." she spoke, however it was not in English. This was the voice of the inner kaiju, a language that this Gigan should understand completely. Her voice would be identical to his own Ghidorah as the real deal.

Once grabbing his attention, she speaks again, in crackles, growls, and some roars.

"I have been wondering when you'd arrive. Turns out you've found me here. I must congratulate you for your effort old friend."

"Hmmm. Very well. Have it extracted by the Mechtoids and delivered to the Research Overseer. Also, supervise Ruiko Saten. We may have to evacuate in a hurry."

Biollante simply nods as she signals a mechtoid to come to her position. She gave him the terminal piece and ordered him to head to the Research Overseer, in which it acknowledged and head its way towards it. But before she can walk over to Ruiko, the plant hybrid finds a regenerating Nova that happens to be on the verge of total resurrection! A face of shock was all that she could show. She thought he was dead! And already is covered in Psionic energy signatures, concluding that he was emitting large amounts of energy. This is not good news at all.

'Biollante. Prepare the Terminal, evacuation may be at a moment's reach.'

"Right away." Biollante-San replies calmly as she quickly opens up a terminal, ready to sound the retreat if need be...

Several weeks had passed since Shockwave's arrival in the strange new city where the portal deposited them. He knew that it would be unwise to reveal himself to the locals at first. These tiny aliens that lived around him were weak, but many. He did not wish to bring about a scenario where he and his two Insecticon guards were swarmed by thousands of the locals. Instead, he spent much of his time attempting to find his way back to the universe he originated from.



The massive Insecticon for the most part ignored the locals as they scrambled to escape from his path. He was currently on a mission to retrieve a power source to generate electricity to run the laboratory his master operated. Their last one had been destroyed in his master's attempt at creating a space bridge, and they required a replacement for it.

The hulking monster stepped over the wall defining the boundary of the power generating facility located on the outskirts of the city. A couple guards stepped out to stop him, but their primitive weapons simply bounced of his armor. They too chose to scramble rather than remain in his path and find themselves on the wrong end of his massive foot.

Letting out an animalistic screech, he charged towards the walls of the facility, ripping open the side with his sharp talons. Metal bent out like paper before his might, and revealed the power source he was tracking. Engineers fled from the gap he had created, but he ignored them as well. His fingers wrapped around the generator, and gently tore it out from the ground.

Sparks were sent flying as the original wires connecting it to the grid were severed. Alarms were going off due to the sudden loss of power. No doubt calls were going out to their kin for aid in dealing with him. Not that he would even give them the chance to face them. His master's orders were clear.

Turning about, he transformed into its insect form and took off into the air. He was joined by a second Insecticon. His comrade had been circling the facility, ready to swoop in should backup be needed.

Upon hearing the voice of the Pretender, Gigan expressed surprise for all of a moment before pondering his response. This Ghidorah even sounded like the one he had fought alongside with, perhaps it was the King of Terror after all? Just restricted with such an unflattering and disgusting form unlike him, who was merely reduced in stature? While the power and presence was there, he hopes that the Dragon's infamous strength and brutality would not be lessened by hi- her current condition. Opening his tooth-lined metal beak, Gigan lets out a series of screeching metallic chirps; inwardly pleased to realize that even with the vocoder his new employer installed, he was still capable of speaking his own language.

"Not exactly through my own capabilities, Ki- Or rather Queen Ghidorah. I was sent here as part of my mission."

A mission that the alien assassin thought was rather vague, recalling that all his current master told him about his objectives was: "You'll know." As that train of thought went, Gigan started to examine the others that the Queen of Terror was with; never before had he seen such a bizarre collection of beings, and he went from one galaxy to another... One was some sort of living armor worn by a human worm that was impractical as it was malicious, with the cyborg literally seeing the waves of hatred its gaze projected, two were machines; the red one being the source of the unknown energy signature he had detected, which honestly wasn't so special apart from the fact that, judging from the aerodynamic wings all over its frame and boosters; seems to possess a transformation mechanism and the other being a rather demonic-looking machine who seems to be built more for form and intimidation rather than practicality, another was a crude cyborg that possesses a massive psychic signature; little wonder why it felt so much like a Keizer's... How Gigan and his brother, the makers rest his soul; would love to see the cyborg and that psychopathic Xillien commander fight each other. And lastly was... A humanoid turtle-dragon, most definitely the weakest of them all the alien thought; but probably a fair workout for the likes of Anguirus or Rodan, should they be the same size. All in all, Gigan couldn't help but grimmace; the Queen had fallen upon hard times it seems...

Light - Arcadia 2

Light listened to Ryu explain his situation. It wasn't super detailed but coming from a losing fight, no wonder why he was so sad. "Don't worry. I'll help you, I've got nothing better to do anyway." Light said, patting Ryu on the shoulder. An idea forming, Light pulled out one of her holes and showed Ryu, allowing Ryu to touch it. "Feels like paper to you huh?" Light said, throwing it on the ground.

"I use these to travel, and I can cover a lot of distance. I'll be back when I find another ally. If your in trouble, just shoot some energy beam or something into the sky, I'm sure you can do that, right?" With that being said, she gave Ryu and Elsword a wave and a smile, jumped into the hole, and appeared further down the street. Pulling out another hole while still in eyesight of Ryu and Elsword, she jumped into it and appeared on top of a skyscraper.

Using the tops of buildings, Light kept jumping in and out of holes. The city was interesting, with its monorails and futuristic looking cars. Although she didn't see anyone of note until a while later, having reached the industrial district of the city. "Wow, even the industrial area is clean." She said to herself, hanging onto an antenna as she looked out over the factories. She heard an alarm in the distance, but lost interest in it when she saw two giant metal bugs flying over the area.

"Oh wow! I wounder if there are people in there. Wonder if they'd let me drive those mechs?" Light said, her face beeming. Using the same method of travel, she followed the Insecticons to a subway train tunnel. She thought this was weird, and figured she should probably follow them to see what was actually going on, surely some mech drivers in flying insects wouldn't be going in a subway tunnel, right?

As she followed them, various scenarios went through her head, most of them ending on "Post Nuclear Apocalyptic Untopia" which got her pretty excited. The last time she had been in a world like that, it stunk of beer and most people weren't very lively. After awhile of navigating the maze of tunnels, the insects turned down a series of abandoned rundown tracks, and when they got to the entrance of some tunnel turned into some humanoid versions of themselves with notable metal sounds.

When Light got a look at the tunnel they had entered, she said. "Cool!" Noting the various parts laying around and what seemed to be some sort of large object still in construction. And there she saw a large purple robot(Shockwave), who the insect robots were approaching. Having no fear of the giant robots, Light walked out in the open, waving a hello.
