As Ace walked through the doors, he would find himself in a rather strange place. It was a large hallway, with large pillars holding up a curved ceiling. The hallway was lined with skulls, a bright golden glow emanating from behind the eye sockets which brightly illuminated the room. The floor seemed to be made from carved marble, and the walls forged from gold. The entire scene would have been intimidating, had it not been for the crayon scribbles that covered every surface in sight. Even the ceiling was covered in scribbles, as if the entire place had been attacked by a magical flying toddler. But more interestingly would be the end of the corridor, which he slowly approached.

There, the God Emperor sat. A man easily 2 meters tall, covered in a layer of muscle. His body seemed to be sculpted from stone, and his eyes looked like they were made of fire as he looked down on the human. He was clad in golden power armour, the great gauntlets enhancing his already magnificent stature. He sat on an equally imposing throne, a massive device nearly the size of a house, with a long staircase leading up to the chair itself. Wires and tubes covered it, running alongside engravings made in the golden surface. Even a being with no psionic capabilities was able to sense the aura filling the room, as if the very air was filled with a running electric current. It didn't help that the Emperor's worry had heightened his psionic presence.

"My name is Nova. I am the Emperor of... well, this world, now. You most likely came to this place by accident, as did I. This place seems to exude some kind of pull, which pulls beings from various universes into this one, at this location." He didn't mention his explanation for this, as Nova believed that Arcadia's interdimensional pull was a result of the large amount of Terminals that could be found here. He had no time to explain the method of interdimensional travel to this adventurous human. "You were among those most recently drawn to this world. I was among the first. This is the stronghold that I have established in this world, the Imperial Palace. You are here because I believe you will assist me to establish a government in this world, through the elimination of the various evil forces that exist within it. You have experience facing many shadowy villains, but I believe these enemies will prove to be a challenge even for one such as yourself." Of course, even as he spoke, the Emperor mentally directed the events in Arcadia-2.

The lizards secured a position in the labs, but remained out of range of the automated defences. While they were childlike in mindset, their brains had been hard-wired for absolute obedience, and none would stray from their orders. They logged what they saw as the Emperor applied his knowledge of mechanics and computing. While the Conablum technology was foreign to him, it was leagues beneath what humanity had achieved during the Dark Age of Technology, before it had fallen into chaos. With an almost inhuman intellect, Nova began deciphering the several firewalls that blocked his access to the system, directly psychically interfacing with the programming. He could have simply destroyed the walls by erasing the code, but he had a sneaking suspicion that such attempts would activate a backup mechanism, erasing any data he hoped to gain access to. And it had been well coded, it would take some time to dissect, even with direct access.

Of course, as was typical in this world, his efforts were interrupted, as a new psionic presence suddenly appeared in this world. The Ethereal arrived, a sudden stark contrast to the empty void that had previously filled the grounds. He sized up the situation, and made his presence known through military might. Even as this was happening, Banha made his complaints known. However, it was foolish to think that Nova had sent in these beings with no hope of victory. And as the Advent soldiers moved to take out the lizards, they would soon discover the error of their ways. After all, Banha wasn't the only one who had been implanted with knowledge.

The suits worn by the reptiles were based on the original Space Marine armours designed by the Emperor, modified for their inferior size and physical stature. The Black Carapace had been implanted into them, granting them a direct interface with their armour. While they were physically far inferior to the Astartes, their stats were approximately peak human. The Armour boosted that force significantly, making them a force to be reckoned with. Especially as they were now able to wield the Bolters, weapons usually reserved for Space Marines.

The Advent soldiers opened fire, only to find their bullets blocked by what appeared to be an invisible force field surrounding the space marine, capable of easily tanking the tiny rounds. Heavier fire managed to pierce the field, but dealt only mild damage to the reptiles, the suit's plasteel and adamantium plating. They readied their weapons, a row of bolters held up and ready for combat. Giggles and cheering filled the room, as the reptiles complimented themselves on their sudden mastery of combat discipline. Through the helmet's, the sound of the raspy lizard voices laughing was almost unearthly and did not assist the morale of the advent troops, who saw their weapons being made utterly useless by superior defence. They were merely waiting on Banha's order, deferring to him as their commander in a combat situation. With a single word, they would unleash a hail of steel on the enemy forces.

Of course, that was when Eto made her presence known. A monstrous being of blood and writhing flesh, an abomination of nature and a perversion of the human form. Nova frowned, as he sensed this creature's presence. While he would love to interfere directly, he did not wish to abandon his throne at this time. Therefore, he simply called out to the most loyal of his followers through the webway he had constructed in his time on the Golden Throne. And as he called out, they responded, those who were feared even among the Angels of Death. The death dealers of the Emperor, the warriors without name or chapter, the Damned Legion.

They appeared clad in ethereal flames, black scorched armour hiding their forms as they materialized in bursts of flame. They surrounded Eto, silently placing themselves between the Ghouls and the others. Their nature was clear to the Ethereal, beings not of flesh and blood, but rather disembodied souls, forging a physical form in this plane. They were neither living nor dead, the reincarnated forms of those souls that had died in the name of the Emperor. Loyal even in death, they marched as an army of avenging angels. And now 50 of their number had materialized in this room, ready to once more sacrifice their lives in the name of their Emperor. It was as much as the Emperor could do, as this was the purpose of his webway in the first place.

Smiling, Nova gave a last message to the trio of diplomats. "Banha, my forces are under your command. Use them well, with wisdom and ferocity in equal measure. Ruiko, you remain my voice. I have sent aid, but I cannot leave my location. And Rivard.... try not to die." The Ethereal would have heard this message as well, as Nova wished for the Outliners' representative to be aware of the trio's positions. But the second message would be heard by the Ethereal only. "Treat my soldiers with respect, and I will do the same to you."

Absolis very quickly blacked out from the blood loss. He was tough, but even he couldn't fight off Cyano alone. He would be concious just long enough to see ruiko use the bomb, before the head ache it caused knocked him out. As such, he would miss all the events I'm between, before the omni-gel that banha had used had healed him enough to allow him to stand.

Absolis awoke to a...smell. it was an awful stench. A smell only one thing could cause. Death. Normally a groginess of having been near death would come over him, but the smell alarmed him what could have... that bomb! Novas bomb! Absolis quickly stood up. Around him, Cyano and her allies were already back. He could feel that Nova had been here, but was already gone. Sounds of a battle were coming from nearby, and all around, in the windows of the shops, Lay bodies. Piled against them, looking as if they had died in agony. Not one of them strong enough, nor having the connections to get out of the deadlands.

It would be obvious, it would just be here. It would be the whole city. Nothing this deadly ever came in a small package. Not even kolon could create something this destructive. It was... monstrous. Ruiko set it off... but only Nova could have known how much destruction it would have caused. He said that there would be "acceptable casualties" but this. This was 4 million people. The man was omnicidal! Absolis would stand there for a moment, before deciding what he would do next.

The first thing Absolis would do is toss his sword between Banha and ruiko, who were in the center of the group. Usually, this stopped people in their tracks. He didn't blame ruiko for detonating it, and banha didn't do anything. Nova had caused this. As much as he wanted to see Cyano dead for good, she hadn't killed 4 million people. In his eyes, she was low priority until he was done with what he had to do. He would tell banha and ruiko what he thought. On the off chance that they would help him.

"The city is dead. I don't know how long you two have known nova, but I haven't known him long enough to trust that this wasn't his intention. These four"

He gestured around himself, at the ethereal, and the sociopaths.

"They aren't worth the trouble anymore."

Absolis would turn to leave through the portal. Though he would give banha and ruiko the chance to follow him, if they saw it his way. Though before he left, he would turn to the dark outliners.

"Don't think that means I'm leaving you four alone. After I'm done here, I'm coming back for you."

The magician decided it was better to dodge his attack, and it also seemed that his preparations were now complete, judging by the 'NOW' he shouted.

Surprisingly, he took off and the flurry of attacks continued, stronger than before. He was trying to send him stumbling back with the wind from the eagle, the sand started forming at his mouth as well and the cumbersome bother in his nostrils and ears had become an all too real threat for him as well, and that's not mentioning the other attacks coming for him in all directions.

It had been a while since R-By had been this impressed. There were wounds already forming in his body, despite his protection with his golden wings, but he would close them just as quickly with his healig magic, and using the light that the human magician so kindly provided him with.

The rocks attempting to crush him finally made R-By sigh and decide to finally move from the spot he had been on until now.

He could've gone away flying if he liked, probably then Nathaniel wouldn't be able to follow after him, but instead he decided to stay and see what Nathaniel was truly planning.

Size often came accompanied by power, so most certainly this wasn't the complete might of the man's demons. Nathaniel had another plan in mind for R-By. Perhaps something involving this Other Place of his.

Of course, when R-By stepped back, he found his suspicions to be founded.

The spell was massive in both power and size, and certainly, it did make him want to cover his ears, though he didn't. It wasn't like him to show weakness in a fight, or a test such as this.

Whatever deep desire should've been whispered inside his head went unheard, however.

R-By extended all 6 of his wings and then flew upwards, trying to escape the Nexus that threatened to consume him whole.

Still, even at his top-speed, R-By could not free himself from the grasp of this enormous spell. He thought of using a spell as big as that, perhaps feed it gold until it was satisfied and disappeared. Nothing guaranteed that that could happen, however.

Then again, the thing seemed to be targetting him and only him.... perhaps disapeparing would be a better option, but if that thing was a portal to... wherever else, perhaps he could use that. His dimension shatter was only at short range, though.... and if it didn't work, it could be game over for him.

R-By went through countless plans inside his head and arrived to a rather simple conclusion. He would test his luck and see if this portal was indeed a countermeasure against the demi-human mage.

"Ash to ash, dust to dust! Return from thy tomb, Pine!" R-By extended his hand and a purple magic circle formed in the air with intrincate runes and seemingly unintelligible letters.

Afterwards, the circle started cracking and a loud, and rather high-pitched voice, echoed, "I'm here, boss!"

Out from the magic circle came out Pine, R-By's zombie. She had stitches all over her body and was wearing an anti-bullet vest and a pair of skin-tight black pants.

"It's odd for you to call me out! What is it, what is it? What we gonna do today, bo-!"

"Stop for a second and take me into your pocket dimension." R-By interrupted the talkative zombie.

"Right away!" The girl reached for her stomach with both hands and cracked it open. There was a black hole there, in place of her innards.

She then took R-By's head and pushed him inside the blakc hole, which instantly warped him. At that instant, R-By's existance completely disappeared from that dimension.

Afterwards, and regardless of the success of this sudden tactic, Pine would fall to the ground and hit the floor with a loud *thud*, all of her limbs twisted in unnatural ways and the zombie would seem actually dead to any outsider.

If the tactic really did work, Pine would proceed to stand back up and turn to the human magician, before opening her chest again and letting her master out.

Protocol C initiated

@lmpkio

A silent alarm rang in Keiths ears. No one else in the room would be able to hear it, and even if they could, they wouldn't know what protocol C was. Keith needed to do something. And that first thing was needing to get out quickly.

"Yes, good. I'll have them get to work on it. I'm sure you'll be pleased"

With that, Keith walked towards the nearest corner, and disappeared into the shadows. Though starkiller would be able to hear a bit of Keith side of his conversation.

"Send half of outward to the labs. Keep the rest on standby."

@savato@pirouette@flamelord@sgtEasy

Cyano waved to Ruiko and banha. It was good to be back. And their surprised reactions were priceless. Honestly, she was impressed with them. She hadn't seen this much death since she wiped out the deadland. Good times. Oh... and poor poor ruiko looked like she was right on the verge of breaking. My oh my, what a thing to toy with. Especially since she was the one who sent her to the deadland to deal with agonious.

"You know, I have to hand it to you. You wiped out, oh... based on how many people started appearing. I'd say this whole cities gone."

Cyano smirked at the idea. No doubt she was already feeling guilty over it. This would simply be the nail in the head.

"Poor Absolis. Now that I think about it. These were all his people. I could only do so much to drive public opinion of him down, especially with him doing all he could to bring it back up. Him being a "good person" made it all the more difficult. But this, man! You just ruined his life you know. Just for that, I have to shake your hand."

Cyano couldn't help but feel pleased with how things turned out. Absolis was ruined now. Everyone would blame him for the deaths. And it was all thanks to this imbecile. Pure malice seemed to radiate out of her, and yet also envy that she hadn't thought of something like this. Of course, even if she had, that's too much work for her. So she was glad this person had done it for her.

"Well, sadly I don't think ethey here will be quite as pleased as I am. We may be on the same side, but I'm obligated to point out that doesn't mean our goals are mutual."

Cyano would suddenly find herself and Eto surrounded by 50 of Novas space marines. They didn't attack immediately. Though Cyano would still raise her nanomites levels to the highest safe level of strength. That should be enough for these cannon fodder.

"Eto, I'll let you decide the course of action. Please try to make it quick. My program will be on soon".

---

While Ruiko's release of air was certainly annoying, the Ethereal's robe would be the biggest victim here. The Berserkers were far too heavy to be hindered by such a burst and most troops were too far to be bothered. It appeared as though the accumulation of all that unfolded weighed a lot on the young esper's mind. Banha stood strong before the monsters he was to face, a remarkable reaction, but clearly a massive bluff or moment of stupidity from the Yakuza. As for ADVENT, well the troopers didn't last very long to the impromptu buff the lizards suddenly gained. Though luckily they had nowhere to escape with Eto blocking the way and the security system keeping them at bay.

Things changed for the worst however when Space Marines were invoked by the God Emperor himself. The Ethereal swiftly noticed the overwhelming psionic force behind all of this and did its best to maintain a link with the god-like being. Completely stunned by the decision taken by the head of the Imperium, the Ethereal couldn't understand the reasoning behind sending reinforcements here of all places. Did he truly want to wage war when the Conquerors were just around the corner? Especially when knowing that any harm done here most certainly didn't have war provoking value? For a near-omnipotent being, the alien started to have doubts on the being's state of mind.

"Cease this at once, Eto, Star child. You are but all crippling yourselves when the true threat lurks just around the corner. Must we remind that the Imperium lost the previous confrontation? And now they seek to be occupy and sack our new base? Foolishness."

Although a lot of it was true to the Ethereal, it wasn't so honest on what was the true threat. The immediate threat was of course the Conquerors, but the most difficult one to handle would be the Imperium. Of course, if the Imperium were to assault both the Outliners and the Conquerors, victory would be assured against the Emperor's reign. That being said, it would also make the conflict against the blatantly evil faction a lot more unsure.

It also came to notice that Cyano kept pushing Ruiko's buttons. Although the alien was against such taunting, it also saw Saten as its experiment. It found her, it evaluated her potential, and planned to groom her as a superior being considering her powerful psychic potential. It was just unfortunate she didn't keep using that sound based drug, the immense progress that could have been achieved would have been ground breaking. Pushing her mental limits was something that had to be done to unlock her true power, and this was the perfect occasion. Either she'd sprout into something even higher than what the alien expected from humanity. Or, she'd just be another ... Failure.

When it closed even more distance that separated the overlord from the Ruiko, the alien formed a spear with the psionic energy it manifested earlier on its hand.

"Abandon this ridiculous endeavor of theft and espionage. You are shooting yourselves in the foot. In exchange, we will give you the diplomatic exchange you so desire. Isn't that right, Eto?"

With the psi-lance on its hand, it made it very clear it wasn't going to be the talkative pussy of the bunch if things were to get ugly. Ruiko knew full well what it could do with just a single psi-lance. As a level 4 she could very well give it immense amounts of trouble, but the planet size distance that separated their experience would even make a titan dizzy.

---

Hot damn, Eto didn't expect so much energy coming from that little esper. This made her all the more tasty. The steaming saliva from the kakuja beast flowed out of the grotesque and foul smelling jaw it kept an open grin on. Unfazed by what was displayed, Eto was quickly leaning to swallowing Banha first given the levels of sass emanating from his being. Though before she could intervene, the leader of the Imperium decided to take the reigns for a bit and bring some reinforcements. A bunch a weird looking armored fellows surrounded Cyano, Muffet and herself. They were about 50 and to Eto they smelled like spoiled flesh, inedible waste of space she could only crush under her might. They didn't worry her too much, what did however was both the Ethereal's scolding and Cyano's bullying of Ruiko.

"Pfffff! It's not like we're in the wrong, E.T. They were just retarded enough to think a nuke was necessary for ... Three people! Bwahahahahahahaha!"

Laughing at the poor choice the girl made, the Kakuja felt almost completely disconnected from the immediate threat that ha the intent of mowing her down if she were to get out of hand. Well, they'd at least try. Cyano made it clear she had troops ready to assault and it was technically Eto's choice to give the green light. There wasn't very much of a threat around here in any case, this Legion of the Damned, although flashy with their flames and edgy armor, they weren't perfect. At all. If they had similar energy shields than those lizards, than it wouldn't be a problem for this Kakuja form seeing how she handled Banha's personal energy field. As for their armor, they couldn't be any stronger than CCG's Kakuja armor, the type of armor supposedly as strong as a Kakuja which greatly surpasses a Ghoul's typical superhuman defenses. Needless to say, she completely fodderized investigators specifically trained to kill her kind with weapons and armor of that caliber. These soldiers were going to be a piece of cake.

"Heheheheheheheh. I like it here. We can kill them again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and then we CHEAT CHEAT CHEEEEEAAAAAT! And then I'll die over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over!"

Although long, she'd say it immensely fast. It was more her Kakuja talking than anything else, though it was clear, they had a gargantuan home field advantage. They could just abuse the dead land system and endlessly return their minions while the opposition would be met with various initiatives to just break the system for the opposing forces. Though how that could be done, she didn't know, but she liked to plant this possibly false idea into the minds of enemy, just to terrify them some more.

The Ethereal's sensible suggestions however didn't fall into deaf ears. Eto wasn't stupid either, even if she left her Kakuja get the better of her at times. No, she planned this since the beginning, they were not going to be completely serious about this and would engage in a dialogue. The female ghoul's main body would emerge from the now gaping jaw of the Kakuja, her body barely covered by a few volatile bandages strapped against her.



"Liiiighten up all of you! Jeez, it was all just a joke! It's not like we were actually going to kill you or anything. Blame your boss for half-assing the information about this place. We assumed y'all weren't dumb enough to step in some place you didn't know about."

She'd hop out of her monster form, the beast seemingly vanishing into a pile of ribbons that vanished into dust. She had re-absorbed all the RC-cells of her Kakuja and simply didn't see any use in it.

"Fine, fine. We can talk. But over dinner, I've been planning this banquet for quite a while now so ... You and you are invited. Muffet love, if you would kindly open the doorway to the dining hall~"

She'd say as she marched through the fallen space marines as if they weren't there for anything special other than decor. Her small frame almost appearance comedic when she'd have her way with them. By then, she pointed at Ruiko and Banha as she indeed asked them to join her in this diplomatic exchange. They'd be able to meet a few other executives in the process. Now all that had to be done was for Muffet to act as if they weren't surrounded by hostiles and just open the portal to their fancy dinner room prep for this event.

Starscream was not only interested, but agreed to the proposition. Tatara was more than pleased, the plan was going smoothly and Starscream was the volatile piece they needed to truly gain the edge on every one of the factions. Well, at least what he could provide during the exchange they would have. The ghoul grinned under his mask before activating the communication device in his hand. In reality, it was another Terminal that manifested a portal farther away in which every party could enter.

"You may bring your two minions. Make sure they will not be of any nuisance to the event."

Tatara warned before presenting the portal, gesturing in an inviting manner the trio of robots to enter it and discover what lied in the other side. One they would enter, Tatara and his ghoul servants would follow behind before closing the portal behind them. The Decepticons would be welcomed by a massive dining hall with a ceiling much higher than their already exaggerated height. The only problem would be the three massive chandeliers that brought quality lighting to the luxurious room.

The the center, a large dining table with every plate and ustensile set before each table. There were going to be quite a few guests if the order was correct. At the very end, facing the master's chair on the other side, there'd be a larger chair with Starscream's name written on a small card/name tag placed on the quality porcelain plate. Starscream had the seat of honor, after all he'd discover why he'd be of value more than any other. Tatara guided him to it and invited him to sit down.

"Your guards will have to stand or wait in another room. If you have a question or need something, ask the maid. I'll be at your disposition nearby. The even will commence shortly, there appears to be a small setback."

There would be a maid standing before the largest door leading to what was likely the living room of this visibly appealing area. Tatara left, but employed the door leading to the kitchen in order to confirm one of the guests arrived and needed some rather special nourishment.

If Starscream were to check his radars, he could confirm that he wasn't in Cybertron, but in Arcadia-1. If he tried to get his own positioning, it'd be impossible. In reality, he'd be in the pocket dimension created by the Quincy to remain concealed from view in the occupied Multiversial hub.

Banha, for the first time in his life, had no idea what to do. His finger went to the trigger, to the command to these armoured giants surrounding them. "Shoot." That's he would've said if he was suicidal however. Nova had told them this was to be a simple diplomatic mission, not a bloody "hit-and-take-all-the-shit" run. If he had told them, they would've been prepared for all of this. For a commander, he knew how important Intel is. And he gave them fuck all. He glanced towards Rivard. This was his people and he could sympathise with that. He was sure that the New Yakuza was slowly being transported from his galaxy to Arcadia-1, unwillingly leaving their worlds behind. He was sure that Anhur was already burning, billions of people dead. And he could do nothing.

First, he stared into the eyes of Cyano and then Ruiko. "This was not your fault, Ruiko-san. You didn't know what would've happened when you released the orb. If you didn't do so, I would've been killed and Rivard killed. Do not listen to imbecile, dumb sacks of pus and faeces that call himself a 'leader' to lead you astray." He then took his gaze towards the scientist.

"Rivard, I know how you feel. I've seen trillions of people burn, slaughtered in droves, babies thrown to their captors for mercy, death on a thousand worlds. That hardens you. Makes you unfeeling. Emotionless. I sympathise with you, friend. This was your people, friends and family." He bowed slightly towards his direction before turning back towards the Ethereal. "But I still have a job to finish, no matter how much I hate it or how much shit had gone down." He gestured for the space marines to stand down but be on alert. No matter how many calls for diplomacy these Outiners make, he personally wouldn't believe them and flash them another middle finger.

When crazy she-beast began mocking Ruiko again, he almost turned to throw the bandolier of grenades at her and piss on the corpse of his enemy. Instead, he took a disgusted glance at her as she morphed back into her human form and then glanced at the most sane representative in the room. "Look, we didn't come here to look for a fight. Us three" he gestured towards him, Rivard and Ruiko "were simple diplomats sent by Nova to talk about the relations between our two organisations." He then paused to gesture towards the corpses of reptilians and the space marines. "Now I have no idea why Nova sent these men for reinforcement and the Lizards for robbing you. I do know that I have a mission to complete."

He glanced at Ruiko. "But I am afraid that I can't finish it without the help of certain individuals." He would understand if she backed off now, it would be the right thing to do. He would come with her and face Nova's wrath together. Right now, all he wanted to do was blow this whole motherfucker down. But that was suicidal. 'God, I shouldn't have watched Training Day.'

@Gummi Bunnies@Mr_pink@Archmage MC@Flamelord@Nightknight@MagusDream


Ryu was slightly surprised with Neptune managed to transform into someone quite different. He didn't realize that she can even attempt such a power. Alas however, he had faced far more powerful foes, along with some very weird abilities along the way. The Queen on the other hand was already growling at Light, for contacting an unknown individual. Ad what they were talking about has made her feel even more disturbed.

But before she can make a comment or maybe stop her, she and Ryu were approached by what appears to be a fox woman.

"Forgive my intrusion human, but I find my surroundings foreign to me and I would ask only a moment of your time. I promise you I mean you no ill or harm. Please, answer me this, what realm have I found myself in where humans walk amongst gods?"

Ryu smiles and nods, wanting to answer this question.

"We have very little idea where we are ourselves actually," he says, "But I believe that there are no gods walking around here."

It was just then that he was lightly shoved by Gojira-San. Despite not exactly being a god, Gojira-San's translation "Godzilla" is pretty self explanatory. But other then that, it was considered to be a light shove in a jokingly manner. They also had little notice with the generic man that was watching them from the shadows and payed no attention to him. But what they DID pay attention to was the fact that a giant rapier and a giant axe fell from the sky and crash landed near them. It would surprise the two leaders as they look to where they crashed, which was to the south.

"Looks like some other individuals are nearby." Gojira-San announces, "C'mon. We need to inspect it. Be on high alert."

And with that she slowly stomps towards the location, with Ryu following close behind. At this rate, its going to be like a convention! And all they're doing is just walking around aimlessly through town...

"Indeed. He seems quite intent on getting rid of you and securing this world as his own. Regardless, I assumed that an Alliance such as yourself would like to treat with someone who has the resources of multiple galaxies at his disposal. He may consider himself a God-Emperor, but I have dealt with my share of evolved beings before. Dealing with this one shouldn't be as hard.""

Ghidorah-San nods at this statement as she quickly calculates the situation at hand. She was slightly startled for the fact that he was able to be reborn, however, if one can defeat him, it can most certainly happen again, with much more success may she add.

And just then, Mattias entered the room.

"God-Emperor? Now isn't that a catchy title. These power-drunk immortals are all the same in every universe I go to. None of them were worth the memory space for their names. If this Alliance is standing up against one of those asshats, then I will gladly participate. There is just something so satisfying about seeing an arrogant and corrupt 'god' humbly broken. Bringing them down is practically my epitaph."

There was a slight pause as Ghidorah then concludes the conversation.

"We have a vast empire of universes at our disposals." she answers confidently at Ba'al, "We have the strength of an army capable of not only conquering the multiverse, but as well as killing being such as this one "God-Emperor." We've killed him before, so we'll surely kill him again, and for good. I will be grateful for having an alliance with your army, for you must have a good amount of men yourself. You have my permission to land and enter the base."

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

"Yes, good. I'll have them get to work on it. I'm sure you'll be pleased."

With that, Keith walked towards the nearest corner, and disappeared into the shadows. However, Starkiller could sense the urgentness and fear that the scientist has dwelled. Something was indeed wrong. Not involving him, or any regrets, but having to do with somewhere elsewhere. He stays in his spot, his back turned, and can already hear some parts of the conversation.

"Send half of outward to the labs. Keep the rest on standby."

It appears that his lab of his was under attack, or is going to be attacked. But with it, he can also vaguely sense a disturbance in the force. The force like that of a "God". He then recalls the God-Emperor his army supposebly destroyed back in Arcadia-1 and indeed it seems as this sense was too familiar for his liking. It must be the "God-Emperor". He must've somehow been resurrected. He can also vaguely hear as Mattias was walking towards the bridge about mentionings of him a swell. He is alive, and thats a fact. Anger poured through his veins, rage, but instead of venting it out... he begins absorbing it. Anger... hate... that is what a sith lord thrives on. They will find this God-Emperor again and ultimately wipe him out of the multiverse. He then proceeds to walk towards the bridge for the news that they hold.

@savato@lmpkio

They weren't sure how they got here. Nor where here was. Last they saw, they were in their home base, with Shintaro tied to the bed in his underwear. Speaking of which, he still was. Which caused him to crouch down in embarrassment.

"I knew I shouldn't have gone outside today!"

Shintaro cried out. Ene shushed him while momo covered his mouth. Meanwhile Kido quickly used her eye power to divert attention away. They were out in public, and somewhere they didn't know. Striking a dramatic pose, she would begin to explain the situation. Even though she herself didn't know anything.

"We're stuck in an alternate dimension. Kano, scout out the area and talk to people to find out where we are."

Her usual blunt style coming through full force. In reality they were thrown across the multiverse, but alternate dimension was close enough. Kano would look around for a local. Though, he wouldn't see any. At least not immediately. It was then that a small cat creature bounded into view. For a second he fell back in surprise, but quickly composed himself and made it to where others would perceive himself as one of them. He would walk over to it, and ask it a few questions.

"Hey, you know where we are? I took a wrong turn and ended up here."

Kano would ask, however he wouldn't know he had taken the firm of a kolon. Who was unable to speak. Especially this particular kolon, who had gotten separated from his friends.

back at the group

The rest of them followed behind cautiously. No one else would notice them, because of kidos concealing eyes, though she would start to lose concentration at the annoying scene going on behind her

"Master, maybe here you can show the locals your... secret file"

Ene zoomed herself close to shintaros screen. She was clearly enjoying her "masters" embarrassment. Though she acted like the picturesque electric servant in her words.

what! I told you to forget that file! I mean, what file. I don't have any secret file.

Shintaro exclaimed. Walking around public with nothing on but your underwear was already grating on his nerves, but he also had to be outside and had to deal with ene. Fairly soon he would explode, had Kido not intervened.

Be quiet back there. If my concentration breaks, a file will be the least of your worries"

As they neared the end of the street, kano would be gone, and in his place would be two small cat creatures. Shintaro would just sigh, while the rest would be confused or amused. Konoha would simply laugh, and utter cute.

Similarly, down the other way, there would be another group. Consisting of an odd bunch. Though what they were exactly would be hard to make out at this distance.

As the rift closed and the mage rose up from the corpse of the animated dead, it must've been at most in the top 200 grossest things he's ever seen. So it wasn't something he even flinched at and he calmly separated from Bartimaeus as his summons settled down. They couldn't do anything about the mess so they just returned to their original forms. Nathaniel hopped off Jannilius as he turned to his quadruped form and then onto Bartimaeus who was currently in the form of a lion. He expected Rb-y to escape, just not like... that. He bowed towards his opponent, assuming that the battle was over. "Your verdict, sir?

R-By nodded after the Magician approached him asking for his veredict.

"There is no need to call me sir. I accept your strength. If you wish to be at the same footing as us, drop the formalities."

With that said, R-By turned again to Pine. "You can go back now."

The zombie bowed down and then turned on her heel before disappearing where Ethereal had not that long ago.

"Very well then. We should also get going. Follow me. I believe that the Banquet is just about to start." R-By turned on his heel as well and started his retreat back to the pocket dimension.

The soldiers the Ethereal had left of which i totally did not forget until now followed behind him as well. He couldn't say he was surprised to see them alive, given that they were servants of the Ethereal.

"You too are invited to the Banquet, so follow me if you wish." R-By told Nathaniel once inside.

The demi-human retracted all of his wings and wrapped them around his body to navigate through the place with ease, and then headed for the room where the Banquet would be head.

He spotted Starscream, whom he acknowledged with a simply bow and nod and then took a seat of his own, waiting for the banquet to start.

Nathaniel curtly nodded at Rb-y, gesturing for Sonya, Duros and Jannilius to follow him and Bartimaeus. Ramuthra grinned. "What? Can't join in with the fun?" He glared at him and so the blue dragon grinned from ear to ear before returning to the Other Place. Bringing in Jannilius was already risky for him but bringing in Ramuthra? That sounded way too many warning bells for him to even think about the notion. That would be a bad start to infiltrating this organisation. He followed the mage through his pocket dimension, leading into a city. It wasn't anything he hasn't seen before (I mean, once you've seen Coruscant, there are only a few cities that could amaze him more). It was eerie as the city was especially quiet. He was about to ask but kept it to himself, no doubt learning the answer in this so called "banquet". When they arrived in the room, he recognised some of them there from gathered Intel or just exploring the Multiverse. He came off Bartimaeus and bowed courteously, grooming the lion's great mane.

"Hello, I am Nathaniel the Magician and newest member of the Envisioning One's organisation. If ya'll don't mind, I need to take these guys with me." He pointed to his summons. Jannilius was already noting down the layout under the guise of curiosity. Bart and Duros just growled while Sonya winked and gave a playful "Hello!" The Magician just shook his head before sitting down next to Rb-y, his summons in his shadow for protection. "If you don't mind me asking, why is your city empty?" He asked to the Mage but left the question open just in case others had an answer.

@Archmage MC@Lmpkio

Shockwave took note to remember every word the one known as Light told him. A preexisting set of portals ... the information the anomaly was giving him was most interesting, regardless of the most illogical means by which it traded the information. He would have to look into how it managed to bring about a change of armor seemingly out of nowhere. Perhaps some kind of private storage dimension?

"I see, your thesis is logical. However, I still lack a way to track these terminals you speak of."

If the terminals were some kind of network, then perhaps he could tap into it. It would be far simpler to use a preexisting system than to make his own. At the very least, he could use the terminal's system to do the targeting for his Space Bridge. That might work, however he would need to find a terminal first.

"Perhaps if I could find a preexisting terminal, it would be possible to reverse engineer the technology."

These terminals seemed to be very similar to the original Space Bridges used by previous Cybertronian civilizations prior to their collapse. Of course, the scale of these terminals seemed to be much larger. The prospect was fascinating, and he was beginning to think he might put his ultimate warrior projects on hold.

Ayato flipped the page of the magazine as he wasn't interested in fashion. Technically, he wasn't interested at all with the magazine, but figured since he wasn't doing anything else plus it was laying around he might as well. On the next few pages it would give directions on how to make a roll cake along with a subscription for another 12 months. The ghoul grabbed the slip of paper, and threw it over his shoulder not caring where it landed as he began reading how to make a roll cake. Not that it mattered since he couldn't eat human food at all, and the amount of ingredients needed to make something like this was already starting to make his stomach hurt, so again he flipped through some pages. At this point it was the middle of the magazine, and it had a story of some female who had gone through the troubles of war. How she had made it out alive yet had many upon many challenges with the main one trying to stay alive. Ridiculous.

As he continued to read the story the screens above the work panels would occasionally beep, so after a few times he looked up to see what was going on. Nothing out of the ordinary, but before he looked back down to continue reading Ayato grabbed the back as well as the front of the magazine, and tore it all the way down from the middle. After, he stood up to throw it in the trash nearby as there was no need for it anymore, and made his way to the opposite side of the room where he'd start to mess with a few of the buttons to see which would do what. On accident he activated the timer that, reaching 00:00:00, would fire a missile in the direction it was aimed. How did he know this? There was a small screen above the buttons that displayed the ship, and a visual on how the missile was going to come out. "Hm." Again, he pressed a button in the same area, but this one obviously ejected trash as the words on the screen were "Dumping Waste: In Progress..."

Before he was to press another button however Ayato was suddenly startled by the alarm that would sound on the large screens behind him. As he turned to see what was going on the screens all displayed 3 horizontal lines that looked similar to hospital monitors when someone died. Ayato walked over to the screens to see if anything else was being displayed, and noticed 3 names right by the lines that read: Eto; Of course he knew who Eto was, Muffet; He had no idea who she was but she looked to be important, and one last line that had no name by it. Not caring to think of who that third line may be Ayato moved the chair that he was sitting in earlier to be able to get a better view of the controls. He looked at the buttons on the panel, and would press a few of them to see what they did. At this point the alarms were beginning to get annoying, so he switched his attention to the touch-screen slap-dab in the middle of the panel section. Randomly clicking through a few tabs he finally found the simple off-switch, and turned the sound off.

"..." That easy, huh.

However, turning the sound off didn't take away the heart monitors on the screens, and as he looked at them wondered why there was no heart beat for Eto if this actually was a heart monitor. "What are you doing...?"

Ika Musume looked around. The place looked a lot different this time. Maybe this wasn't the right place? Ika Musume mused for a second before running off through the nearest Dorr way into the palace. However, Add would not be able to follow. As said door would immediately slam shut behind Ika.

This would not leave Add alone however. Almost as soon as the door would slam shut, he would find that a small furry cat creature had jumped into his arms. And had wrapped himself around his neck into a warm hug. To Add it would be the most adorable thing ever. More adorable then any cat pictures or other things he would find online. In a moment it would release him from the hug and utter a simple, yet adorable "Rupu?" That would melt the hearts of even the worst psychopath.

What a stupid experience this all was. Bambietta came to Eastgate city, was in the middle of a Kaiju battle, got called various slurs by some blonde homosexual, her help rejected by the flock or knuckleheads she met at the diner and now ended up with nothing to do. Her goal was indeed to poison the well, or at least go full recon on the Multiversial individuals and possibly gather them. Unfortunately, they were not very easy to handle and the quincy wasn't exactly the most social of people. She gave up for the day and searched up a dirty enough bar to be open after the whole city got wrecked by the battle of the titan lizard beasts.

She couldn't recall the events that unfolded once she got her first glass served in the O'Brien Bar. It was blurry, as per usual considering her inability to comprehend the term 'temperance' as much as her religion inclined affiliation encouraged her to. She'd wake up in a motel during the current events involving the Arcadia-2 people, a motel just as crappy as the bar she was in. The bed however was damp, and she thought for a second that she had pissed herself, because booze kind of does that. Well not quite, next to her would be a completely bifurcated man, cut from the belly and his lower body severed completely. He was long dead, his body already rigid from being corpse for multiple hours.

Bambi rolled her eyes, in her thoughts she could only say 'Oops, I did it again'. When she'd lean up to gain awareness of her environment and do damage control, she'd feel the atrocious hangover from the disgusting crap she drank the other day. Pressing her palm against her temple, the pain wasn't what tormented her the most. A single detail disturbed her so much that she just had to mutter it aloud.

"Did we fuck before it got real crazy or vice versa? Ugh, shit ... Whatever."

She peered at the young man's lifeless expression before tapping his cheek as she'd get up. A quick shower to dispose of the blood, luckily she had the drunken grace to toss her clothes away before she'd deliver the man's conclusion. When cleansing herself, she'd realize that not only did she not warn Biollante of this but that stupid Kolon was roaming about. She didn't dry her hair or brush it, quickly just drying her body before dashing naked to grab her phone/communication device thing on her jacket. Out of juice, great. She only had that contraption to detect anomalies, great use when the whole city was brushed by two Kaijus emitting that energy. At least her ipod worked, which was connected to her earphone. She'd listen to whatever Bullshit she had saved there until she'd find coffee.

Half-assing her clothes, she'd just walk out. The sunlight pulverized her eyes already surrounded by black circles as her sleep wasn't all that recuperating when thinking about it. Her hat was also crooked sideways and her attire giving off the broke banker look. This was getting unnecessarily stressful as she walked the streets of a city she didn't know to find a minuscule cat thing and some plant monster woman that can turn into microscopic spores. Bambietta would just grab a cigarette out of her typical pyromaniac starter pack and light it up via her explosive powers. She'd give off the explosion energy of a fire cracker at the end of her nicotine poison to light it up.

Upon walking for a couple of hours, she'd experience a miracle by noticing something that looked like a Kolon. Though as she'd pause and bent her body backwards to see through the alleyway that led to the end of the street it was in, she'd realize there was in fact two.

"The hell?"

She'd say as she'd pull out her third cigarette out of her mouth, somewhat confused while not wanting to make any mental effort at this point, not that she made that many when she wanted to. Walking up to the surreal scene, she'd have her cigarette hanging on her lower lip and her expression clearly defining her lack of care at this moment. The loud and clumsy footsteps of the quincy would be enough to attract the attention of the Kolon duo. They would see Bambietta with her messy hair, untidy uniform, tired eyes, reeking tobacco and low quality motel shampoo. White Trash Bambietta just starred at them both, not even realizing one would be able to speak. Heck, she didn't even know a Kolon couldn't speak.

Confronted to this dilemma, her brain cells worked ... For a nanosecond before she'd make the well educated conclusion. Something in her scrutinizing eyes going back and forth to stare at one after the other made it clear she was decided on which was the one she'd guess was Koloan.

"Eeny meany miny moe."

She quickly designated one of the two while keeping her cig in her mouth like the trashy woman she was, before kicking said chosen Kolon with a strong kick. For Absolis' information, it would be the one on the right, so choose which would be the funniest. Anyway, the 'Kolon' would be projected rather swiftly toward the gang of teens that milled around here and Bambietta disregarded as pointless citizens despite her detector tool buzzing at their presence.

"You, we go. Mommy's fucking pissed. You're going to eat all your fucking broccoli in the Banquet."

She'd grab the 'Kolon's' arm before dragging him toward the alley as she wanted to make the escape Terminal's portal discreet, even if it didn't actually mean much if there were witnesses given well ... A FREAKING KAIJU FIGHT JUST HAPPENED.

@Lmpkio@Flamelord@Mtntopview

Light - Arcadia 2

Shockwave gave what Light some thought it seemed, making sure to record it all in the computer behind him, none of the language she could read. After he was finished, he told her of the problem of being unable to track or locate a terminal, and how if he found one he might be able to use it. "That is a problem isn't it..." Light said. "I don't know where one is myself. I usually just stumble upon them or wing it by using my hole with no destination, causing me to be spit out in a random world."

An idea forming, Light pulled out her hole. "How about I do that sorta teleporting to a different world and you scan it? Maybe that'll give you some idea on how to make a tunnel, at least til you find a terminal. Light continued, wringing her hole between her hands as she waited for Shockwave's answer. "I know the people I was just with wanted to find one too and probably use them much more often than I do, and could probably help you find them better. I toldya what they looked like and stuff, so they shouldn't be hard to find. Although only Ryu and Ahsoka are reasonable, Gojira is actually sorta mean. Just tell them I sent ya, or rather, send your buddies. Gojira will probably attack them to be honest." Light said as the idea sprang to her mind, in order to help Shockwave out a bit more.

Koloan would be propelled by the kick, and land directly in Kido's face. Now that someone had touched her, koloan, and anyone else around would become aware that they were there. As Kido fell, Marry would let out a quiet scream, and trip into seto, causing both of them to fall over. Hibiya would trip over them in his attempt to get out of the way, and end up grabbing and taking momo down with him.

After this amazing tumble, the only two members left standing would be shintaro, in nothing but his boxers. And konoha. Konoha would simply stare ahead, before turning to walk into yhe bakery next to them. While shintaro would metaphorically die.

---

Meanwhile, Kano would be grabbed by bambietta and dragged into the nearby alleyway. If Bambietta looked back at the kolon, she would find it wasn't a kolon. Rather, it was a normal kid. Of course, it all happened so fast that even kano would be rendered speechless.
