The footsteps of a weary young agent echoed as she made her way down the corridors of the headquarters that she had practically made her home. A woman in her mid-twenties with olive skin, large chestnut eyes and straight, golden blonde hair gathered neatly into sleek ponytail, Agent J, or 'Juliet' as she was nicknamed, was one of the few personnel involved in the inter-dimensional recruitment project initiated by the mayor. She halted in front of the entrance to the main ops area, the door sliding open with a hand to the touch pad. A blue-eyed brunet sat among several monitors. Predictably, the young man was known as Agent R, or 'Romeo'.

His attention turned to his partner as she entered. "Ah, welcome back, Agent."

She took a seat beside him before playfully punching him in the shoulder. "Oh, stop."

There had been much speculation about the two be more than just friends, due to how close they were and how they were seen to act towards each other. However, either of them would deny anything of that sort when asked directly.

He let out a chuckle before hitting a few buttons, causing the images of a couple of spiky-haired young men to appear on screen. "Check it out, spell-casting swordsmen. Left an emblem for each of them."

The screen then switched to display two blonde individuals, a male and a female, who looked like they were from a different time and place altogether. "And these two?"

"Right, them. Knights, barbarians, vikings? I don't exactly know, but they'd be great to have on board. Both sword wielders too, but hers turns into a whole bunch of other things."

"Cool, cool..." replied R, and he scrolled over to the next one, a blonde elf-like teenager in a green tunic and hat. "So, this one's yet another sword user. How many sword users did we recruit exactly?"

"Hey, she uses a shield too!" J protested as she leaned back in her seat.

"Oh, but of course..." R muttered sarcastically in response.

"Here, look," she then pushed past him to scroll for another image, a girl in a dark, bird-themed cloak. "No sword, just a whole range of psychic powers."

"I imagine she likes the dark," R commented, raising an eyebrow at the picture. "Interesting, I found one who might share similar abilities, except she would very much prefer the light."

"Hmm, alright. Anyone else you got?"

"Yeah, just this kid who can build machines out of his own body."

J broke into a mischievous grin. "Can he build a sword?"

R let out a groan. "Yes, yes he can..."

Both agents turned to the wall of the room that was lined with several large, transparent cylindrical machines, wondering how many of these individuals would respond to their call for assistance. They wanted this to work, for the mayor and for the citizens of Cinix.

"I suppose they all know how to press a button, at least."

"Guess we'll just have to wait and see."

King Adam & Queen Adora were with Ro discussing how best to handle things with Ro's problem on Trolla. When a strange emblem showed up. "Ro what is that thing?" Ro cast a magic spell. "It is not magical, at least not any magic I am familiar with my King. Give me some time with it, if it is possible with magic or technology to figure what it is I will figure it out. I suggest making this section of the castle off limits for the moment." Adam & Adora left Ro to do whatever he was going to do. They had castle guard's posted at every entrance around the clock.

It took Ro a month before he exhausted every possible avenue. After reporting his failure. "Ro thank you for your service in dealing with the snake men and that thing. You need to head back to Trolla. Take up to six of the Masters with you to fight the villains plaguing your land. Make sure your Galactic Guardians know that they are in our prayers." Ro placed one hand over his heart & flexing the other into a muscle. "Magic & strength tempered by heart... I stand for peace!" Ro transformed into the Greatest Sorcerer of all He-Ro. He then left. Adam and Adora each called out their transformation phrases. He-Man & She-Ra switched to their snake armor. He-Man deployed his snake shield, blocking his love while she blasted it with her sword.

Link was at home minding her own business, she just wanted several hours of sleep and for shit not to go wrong for one freaking day since becoming a hero. She just saved the neighboring village from marauders. She was tired, half a sleep and in no mood for shit. She heard a noise, figuring it was some animal who flew/climbed in through her open windows she grabbed her sword intending to slay it and cook it tomorrow and she hit the source of the noise.

Cloud had just come home from delivering a package to Vincent. They might be old friends but delivering to him was the biggest pain in the ass, he lived out in the middle of nowhere. He got lost every time he delivered to him. First thing he did was to hit Tifa up for a beer and see if they could get to making their own kid now that Barret took Marlene back and Denzel off attending some private school. Just as Cloud was about to turn the lights off, Tifa noticed something weird. Cloud was tired of interruptions his frustrations boiled over and he punched the stupid thing.

"...998... 999... 1000!" Zack rose out of his final squat and punched the air with a grin, "You owe me 100 gil, Kunsel - piece of cake!" Kunsel gave a grimace and rolled his eyes. He pulled out his cell and quickly tapped a few buttons on its screen, then put it away again.
"There, transferred," he said bluntly, "I'm never betting with you again, you always win!" He stood up and stretched.
"That's because you always bet against the squatting champion of ShinRa!" Zack grinned again and shook out his legs, before walking over to the repository ports that were hooked up to the wall. He checked them daily, mostly because he liked to see what he could use in his next training battle to finally prove that he was ready to fight in the real world, on real missions.
"Zack, you're the only one that competes in that.." Kunsel muttered, fixing his belt and tightening the laces on his boots.
"Hey, Kunsel look at this!" Zack called, picking up a strange device from the repository bin and turning it over thoughtfully. Kunsel jogged over to him and frowned.
"It must be something new the science department are trialling.. I've never seen anything like it."
"What do you think it does?" Zack held the device up and checked the back, then pulled out his cell to see if there were any emails he had negated to read about it.
"It looks like a button," Kunsel said, "maybe it fits to your armlet and does something to your materia," he suggested with a shrug.
Zack made an appreciative noise and balanced it against his metal armlet, then pushed the button. At first nothing happened, then it glowed and Kunsel looked impressed, before Zack disappeared. He looked around, confused. "Zack?!" he called.

Zack landed roughly on the black metal grill of the base and for a moment he stood, dazed and tried to find his balance. He looked around carefully and instinctively reached up over his shoulder to grab his sword's hilt. He let out a relieved sigh when his hand grasped it firmly and he slowly drew it, dropping into a defensive stance. The area didn't look like anything he normally saw in his training realities, but he supposed that the science department were always looking for new ways to challenge their recruits and the SOLDIERs. "Alright, Professor Hojo... show me what you've got..."

Raven shot out of the portal and landed hard on the black metal floors of the Cinix Defender's Base, she had just bound her father to his temporary prison and was exhausted. The teen had meant to open a portal to earth, however, a force had pulled her off course. She felt something hot coming from a pocket in her cloak and found a stylized emblem. Raven snapped back to her senses when she heard the voices of others in the same room.

Sprawling quickly to the edge of the room she used the wall to get to her feet still reeling from her violent entrance, she breaths hard as she puts a hand over the shoulder she landed on. "Who the hell are you people and how did you intercept my portal." the teen says with venom.

Taking a moment to collect herself, she realized she could not feel her father's ever presence. The teen moves her hand to the gem over her forehead and tries to search for Trigon but finds nothing. "Azar, the demon's grasp on me is gone." Raven says becoming overwhelmed with emotions. The teen sinks back to her knees and begins to laugh, an honest and pure laugh maybe the first time she has ever laughed like this. The lights of the base begin to flicker as dark energy lashes out from the violet haired teen. "By Azar, Trigon has no reach...wherever this is!" Raven says joyously.

Unknowingly to Raven and the others in the room they could feel the demon girl's joy begin to seep into their minds as the empath is feeling uncontrolled emotions for the first time.

"Alright, everything seems to be normal," declared Dr. Rebecca Holiday, as the stretcher Rex was on slid out of the tubular body scanner.

"Thanks Doc!" Rex chirped as he sat up.

The boy's attention then turned to a rolling storage table right next to him, or rather, what was on it. It seemed to be some sort of emblem he had never seen before. Out of curiosity, he picked it up to examine it. His powers told him that it was actually a piece of technology, but that was it. There was no other information he could get out of it, which he found strange.

"Uh, Doc? Where did you get this?"

Holiday raised an eyebrow at the peculiar item. "That's odd, I've never noticed it there. Here, let me take a look-"

"No, wait!" Rex interjected as he turned it over, suddenly realizing that it was telling him more. There was something he could press on the back, and the object was compelling him to do so. "It's kind of speaking to me. I'll push it right here and-"

"Rex, don't! We don't know what will-" Holiday was cut off when the teen suddenly vanished. "Rex?! Oh no, not again..."

The young Seijin girl sat cross legged in the middle of the Vector's lighthouse on the pirate block of Puerto Angel, using the peace and quiet of her surroundings to train her powers. With her eyes shut, she worked on assembling a three-dimensional puzzle in midair. All was going well, until Lena sensed that she was holding on to a piece that did not quite fit. Perplexed, she opened her eyes to find a little badge she did not recognize hovering right in front of her.

She cautiously reached out to grab it, looking around for the Vector in hopes that she could ask him about it. However, the man seemed to have stepped out. She turned back to the strange emblem and decided to examine it further. While flipping it around, she pushed her finger into a part of it by accident and was no longer where she had been seated.

(Main Ops Room: Lena)

"Vector? Mom? Mahad? Anyone?"

Both agents turned to each other with puzzled looks, clearly hearing the voice of a young girl outside the room. J immediately got up and opened the door to find the source of the voice, who just happened to be passing by the entrance to the room. R's eyes widened as he looked past J to see Lena.

"No way! It's that sunlight kid I left a badge for."

J glanced over at the chambers where the individuals they had left emblems for were supposed to appear, before cocking her head at R in confusion. "Okay... so why is she out here?

"She isn't supposed to be. Wouldn't that mean..."His expression turned to one of dread as he swiftly swung back around to face the monitors, urgently jabbing at the keyboard. "Oh no, no no no no..."

Panic then flooded through J as well. "Don't tell me... It glitched out?!"

A map of the base appeared on one of the screens, with an indicator right at the entrance to the main ops room showing the location of the emblem that belonged to Lena. A couple more of them then appeared at different parts of the map, specifying the positions of other emblems.

"Crap! They're popping up all over the place!"

"We've got to go, R, now!"

All the while, Lena stayed silent, attempting to assess the situation. She first considered that the whole thing might have been a plan of the Sphere, but as it played out, she was starting to get a feeling that it was something completely different. The two were probably not even Seijins. She was just about to ask where exactly she was and what was going on when R started to speak to her, and rather frantically at that.

"Just stay put and don't touch anything, alright kid? We know you must be so confused, but we'll be back to explain everything soon."

With that, the agents grabbed their devices and darted out the door.

---

(Corridors: Rex and Zack) @FalkiThomas

Rex bolted up from his sprawled position, finding himself in a place similar to the Providence headquarters, but he could tell he was no longer at Providence. Unless, this was the Providence of another time. Panic struck the teenage boy as he considered the possibility, remembering the past incident with that EVO named Breach that had left him waking up in some desert six months into the future. Taking a deep breath to calm his nerves, he recalled what he had done the previous time. However, his attempt to use his ear-link communicator was unavailing, and he received no response. Rex let out a loud groan in frustration, before noticing someone further down the hallway.

He called out to the black-haired man with the sword. ""Uh, hey amigo. Would you mind telling me the date today?"

As strange of a question as that was, Rex felt that when in time he was took priority over his current location.

(R&D Lab: Cloud and Link) @Burning Kitty

A shriek of terror escaped from a bespectacled woman in a lab coat with red feathered-bob hair - the lone staff member in the room, when a blond man materialized in the lab without warning. All she did after was to scrambled into a corner and cower there in fear that he might be dangerous, considering the hostile individuals who had been appearing all over Cinix.

J sped along the corridors, eyes fixed on her handheld locator indicating the presence of an emblem in the R&D area. She hurriedly pulled out her communicator and sped dialed the lab.

"Dr. Scarlet, is everything.. alright?..." She then trailed off when she saw an indication of an emblem that seemed to be right above her appear on her locator. "Wait, what the- Argh!"

A significant weight came crashing down on her, and her handheld devices went flying as she hit the floor.

"Ugh, freaking perfect..." she grumbled as she shook her head to recover from the shock. Turning to look up, she saw that it had been a familiar green-clad elf girl who had landed on top her, and smiled sheepishly. "Oh uh, hi there. You probably didn't expect to be here, but I'll explain if you'll get off of me, right after I deal with a little situation."

J jerked her head towards the area further down the corridor, referring to the situation at the lab, whatever it currently was.

---

(Lounge: He-Man, She-Ra and Raven) @Lightning @Burning Kitty

"Alright, everybody calm down!" R called out as he barged into the room to find a group a new recruits terrified at the sudden appearance of a viking-like man and woman while they had been resting.

He took a deep breath, and then turned to the newcomers with a nervous chuckle. "Hello, so um... you're probably wondering what's going on here. If you'll just come with me-"

R was interrupted when a portal opened up on the ceiling of the lounge and the blue-cloaked girl he had left an emblem for fell right through. She was agitated, perhaps even afraid at first when she put a hand on one of the new recruits while demanding to know how she got there.

"Uh, Miss? Ju- Just relax, alright? I'll... Eh?" R's anxiousness turned to confusion when the girl started to laugh, mentioning something about some... demon? not being able to reach the place. A strange atmosphere filled the room, positive, but strange, with the strobing of the lounge's lights and dark energy present making it even more so.

"Okay, that's it. All of you, out!" He barked to the group of recruits, who immediately complied.

He then cautiously approached the teen on the floor. "So, yeah... you're right, he uh... doesn't..."

R glanced around the room, finding himself in a situation he never would have thought he would be in. Taking another look at the two knight-looking individuals and then turning back to the teenage girl he was trying to figure out, he could only wish that it was all just a dream. What exactly was he supposed to tell them? The organization seriously did not think this through, not at all.

LINK

Link was more than a little disoriented and thought she was dreaming. She didn’t go up right away. Her hands began to wander over J’s body. “Nice! You should thank the goddess, she has blessed you well.”

CLOUD

As soon as Cloud appeared wherever the hell he was he knew something horrible was a foot, plus evil cockblocked him again. He vowed to find somewhere magic can’t work and take a permanent vacation there with Tifa. Screw the delivery service, screw the bar. He pulled out his sword. He was sick and tired of hearing the sheep scream every time something weird happened. “STOP SCREAMING YOU FOUL WOMAN!” He was extremely close to running her through to put an end to migraine inducing shrieking of this woman.

HE-MAN & SHE-RA

“You shall pay for kidnapping the King & Queen.” They began to rush at the people in the room they found themselves in. A man came in and urged them out. “Do you think you have the power to defeat two champions of Grayskull?” They put their swords to his throat. “Tell us why you have declared war on Eternia now!” The weird feeling that came over them made them lower their swords. It affect them for the briefest of moment, they fought it and raised their swords back. This time though She-Ra had her sword pointed at the witch. “Witch stop, your evil machinations will not trick us.”

Zack wandered slowly through the corridor, keeping his sword drawn and poised in front of him. He started and turned when a voice finally cut through the silence of the base. Zack quickly turned and pointed his sword directly at the newcomer @Raptra.

The teen in front of him looked nothing like anything he had seen before - he wasn’t even wearing typical clothing. The references for this reality must have been shipped from a new backwater town Zack had never heard of. “...date today?” Zack only caught the end of the teen’s sentence and he lost his momentum slightly. He dropped the sword’s point and looked confused. Since when did the simulations talk to him? “Uhh.. I think it’s Thursday?” He replied, scratching his head, “or maybe it’s Friday.. Is this some kind of test? Is there even anything to fight in this mission?” Zack’s eyes then widened and he pointed his sword at the teen in an accusatory manner, “Wait you’re trying to trick me to let my guard down! Ha, well not today, nobody tricks me! SOLDIER 2nd class Zack is on the job so bring it on!” He took on an offensive stance, then took a run at the teen.

Deep within the dark twisting tunnels that run deep into the earth. Underneath the ruins of a once grand and power city. Lies the under is in the heart of corruption the city of Skavenblight. If one could call the collection of hovels, tunnels, and ruins a city but housed within its wall are million of skaven scamper in the dark. Within the district of Clan Skryre was a workshop. This building contained warlock-engineer Zek Skitterback who was working on his latest creation a portal device. Learning about a portal being built by clan Fester from his spying ring in the other clans. He determined to build a better version of the gate to rub it into the face of the other skaven.

"Work-work harder slaves," This order coming from one of the many slave master as they poked and prodded the skaven slaves working below them. As the slave were in this case literally being worked to death, with there corpes being left for the other starving skaven to eat. Skitterback watched the work commences on his gate, "NO-no work has fallen behind! Have those lazy slaves executed it will-will motivate the rest." It was at that moment were the door to the workshop was open and he apprentices arrived carrying large warpstone fragments on wagons.

"Excellent attach them to the gate." Skitterback order. Over the next few hours they attached the warpstone to the large gate. With a sly grin the warlock-engieer aprocched the device. "With warpstone in placed I-I Jek Skitterback have completed the skittergate before the fools at clan fester did." approaching the control panel he hit a few buttons. With a shutter and a sparks of green energy arc over the gate. A swirling vortex appeared. "As I-I step through the portal to cement my glory!" The skave proudly shouted and step into the portal. A few moment later the gate exploded.



With a groan the skaven stood up from the filthy floor of the sewer. Glacing around he new location Skitterback screamed. To the citizens walking near that particular sewer grate they could hear the faint distress screaming of a ratman. After calming himself down he then moved into parodied ranting as the traversed the tunnel ignoring the strange emblem that had appeared in his robe.

Raven calmed herself and allowed her emotions to flow back into the emptiness. "Yes, I am sorry, but I have spent my entire life hiding my emotions so that my father could not influence me. But now the demon is no longer in reach of me so now I can express joy!" the teen says taking down her hood and revealing her short dark hair, grey eyes, and a smile that could light the room.

The empath turned her attention to the loud annoying duo on the other end of the room, she stood using the wall to brace her and placed herself in front of the man that had comfort her. Her smile was gone and was replaced by an impassive facade.

"Calm down, I do not want to fight but I will defend myself and him," The teen says as she points a thumb back toward the man. "We can talk this out, I do not to wish to hurt either of you." she says giving no emotion.

HE-MAN & SHE-RA

“We have no quarrel with you witch as long as you do not attack us and you are not responsible for our kidnapping. Same goes for this man. Whoever is responsible for kidnapping the King & Queen of Eternia has just declared war.” She-Ra wasn’t convinced this girl was not her enemy like He-Man seemed to be.

(Corridors: Rex and Zack) @FalkiThomas

Rex raised an eyebrow at the man's first response. "No, you see, I was hoping you'd know the year, or month, because I..."

He then trailed off, confused by the other's questions. Test? Mission? Did this man actually know what was going on himself? Or did he simply think he knew? Perhaps he was expecting something different. Rex had expected that since he had lowered his sword, they could share a little more and find out what was actually happening. As a result, the Hispanic teen was caught off guard at the sword being pointed back at him and the words of the man that followed.

"Huh? Trick? No wait, wait!"

Rex instinctively built his trusty B.F.S. out of one hand, the giant blade slicing through the wall of the corridor as he swung it before it clashed with the sword of the other man. Rex wondered if he was an EVO, though, so far, he doubted it. Was it possible that he had something to do with Providence? Well, there was no harm in trying.

"Uh... Zack, was it?" Rex spoke again as they strained against each other. "Look, I don't want to fight you. I don't even know you. My name is Rex, and I'm an agent of Providence. I just want to know when and where I am!"

---

(R&D Lab: Cloud and Link) @Burning Kitty

The scientist fell silent at Cloud's words. Clearly, that was what he wanted, and it would hopefully prevent him from murdering her with that sword of his before someone who knew how to deal with the situation came along.

Meanwhile, J was still on the floor along the corridor, lost for words at the highly-unexpected move of the green-clad girl. For a moment, she even forgot about the urgent matter at hand. She then managed to snap back to the current situation, scooting away from the elf-like teen.

"Woah! Woah... alright, yes... yes she has. I can see that you're really happy to be here, and that's great! I seriously have to attend to something, though. Don't get me wrong, you're like, really pretty, but just uh... not my type? Yeah."

J scrambled around to pick her gadgets up before standing and looking back at the other blonde. "Still glad you're here. You can come with me... or not. Whatever, I'll explain everything soon."

Deciding that she would deal with the fact that she had just been violated by an elf at a later time, she darted down the corridor before taking a sharp turn and bursting into the lab to see the cowering scientist and the blond man with a blade. "Dr. Scarlet! It's okay, he's carrying our emblem."

Thinking of how he had just pulled his sword out on her, Scarlet turned to the agent, appalled. "Agent J! What kind of people have you been giving my tech to and why is he in my lab?!"

J's palm met her face at the doctor's words possibly offending the newcomer into killing her. "Alright, first of all, it was R who found this guy. Secondly, he wouldn't even be in here if there wasn't a glitch in the system. So technically, this whole mess is your fault!"

Scarlet scoffed. "Well, excuse me for being asked to duplicate something I had only known about for less than a week!"

"Ugh, fine. We'll both agree that this is all the mayor's fault, alright?" J then turned to the man. "Hi, uh... please don't attack the staff. I'll tell you everything you want to know to the best of my ability."

---

(Lounge: He-Man, She-Ra and Raven) @Lightning @Burning Kitty

R paused in stunned silence, frozen in fear for a good while at the blades crossed over his throat. Did J forget that they were only supposed to bring the good guys over?

"Declared war? Us? What, no! Never!" He eventually managed to blurt out.

Thankfully, the pair was quickly distracted by the cloaked girl, whom they referred to as 'witch'. Perhaps she was one, but at that point, who knew? At her response to him, she seemed more grateful than anything else. Her joy was real, and extremely intense. That he could tell, somehow.

"Well, I uh... Glad we could help..." he replied, not knowing what else to say, but he really did mean it. It felt great knowing how much they had done for her, though unintentionally.

To his pleasant surprise, the girl then stood to protect him, should the other two try anything else. Alright J, I'll give it to you. At least this is a good one. He decided to speak up again after both parties had exchanged words.

"Much appreciated, Miss, thank you," he first said to the teen girl. "Alright, nobody actually wants to fight, awesome! So, what's happening right here isn't exactly what I'd call 'kidnapping', and in no way are we declaring any sort of war. Well, not against either of you, anyway. What we're looking for, is more of an alliance."

He glanced back and forth between both sides to see how they would respond, hoping to goodness that none of what he had just said was about to screw him over.

---

(Sewer: Skitterback) @eemmtt

At the next turn of the dark, damp and musty tunnel, a hooded figure stepped out in front of the newly-arrived villain. Bright yellow eyes glowed like jewels from the shadow of its hood, staring straight at the Skaven.

"Welcome to Cinix," the figure began in a deep voice which echoed through the area. "Do take your time and have a look around, think about what is it you truly want."

It then glance above, as if looking right through the solid ground. "Interesting, we're right under the central business district. It's a good place to start."

"And if you ever need any help..." the figure continued, before pointing to the emblem on Skitterback's robe. "There's always that. Enjoy your stay."

With that, it stepped back around the corner and vanished, leaving the villain to himself.

CLOUD
Cloud lowered his sword shortly after the woman stopped screaming. Shortly after that another woman walked in the two started arguing. "I'm not listening to anything you bastards have to say until the headache this screaming lunatic gave me goes away." He cast Heal on himself hoping it would help.

HE-MAN & SHE-RA
She-Ra put her sword down, not away. "Not a kidnapping? First you take us without asking, that is the very definition of a kidnapping." She-Ra rolled her eyes with great exaggeration at the stupidity of this man. "Alliance? If you want an alliance you go to the person and ask for help you do not kidnap them. "The act of kidnapping the sovereign rulers of any country by definition is an act of war. You people are so stupid. You better have one hell of a reason for this. Otherwise when our people come looking you better be prepared for war because war is coming and only we can stop it, right now we won't stop it." He-Man still had his sword pointed at the man and the witch.

LINK
Link was more than a little upset at her dream rejecting her. "Fine be that way." She wandered off in the opposite direction. She found a room full of steam. The sound of rushing water could be heard. Link decided to investigate. She bumped into a man taking a shower. Her hand accidentally touched something. "My what a big sword you have sugar."

The arrival of the hooded figure manage to snap the skaven out of his paranoid ramblings. Skitterback glared at the figure as he spoke carefully taking in its words. So he in a city of man-things and in there business district. Plans begain to form in the warlock-engineer head. So once the figure left Skitterback scamper down the tunnels to find a large chamber. Coming across one such chamber the skaven began his work setting up a new workshop as the place came together he began to plan out his scheme. But Skitterback know for one thing he gonna need a lot of warpstone and slaves to complete for his plan to work.

Zack clenched his teeth as the blades clashed and scraped against one and other. He skidded to a halt, his eyes widening and he took in the size of the teen's sword. That thing had come out of nowhere! He kept his sword firmly against the teen's and worried that his own might break under the pressure of the giant-red-pointed-sword-thing. He heard him speak again and heard his name, then looked at him, frowning.
"Rex, was it? What exactly is Providence? Is it somewhere near Midgar? Last I checked the only agents around were the Turks and they don't wear red jackets, they're all in suits... And I don't know where I am either." Zack chanced his final comment. He wasn't completely convinced that this wasn't some kind of test, but he was beginning to doubt it. Everything around him looked foreign and he couldn't feel the hum of the mako energy flowing around him like he normally could in ShinRa. Maybe he wasn't in a simulation and this was a real person after all.

@Raptra

Raven was a patient person, though she was getting annoyed with this mucho bravado the two barbarians with swords were displaying. However, she could understand how they felt, quite literally in fact. "I have to side with the queen on this, even though I am grateful that I am no longer within reach of my father, I too was stolen from my dimension as I was traveling to my home world." The empath says as she folded her arms over chest, showing the two she was not interesting in fighting. "Maybe it is time to explain why we were summon to this place." Raven's grey eyes set on the agent.

(Corridors: Rex and Zack) @FalkiThomas

Rex did his best to keep the conversation going with both blades still against each other, neither one relenting just yet. It did not help that this man was spouting more names he had never heard of. The 'Turks' sounded like some new organization they might have to be concerned about, if Rex actually knew what 'Midgar' was. Zack then asked about Providence, which the teen foresaw if he attempted to explain would make the man as confused as he was. Well, why not? It was better than nothing, and hopefully they would get somewhere.

"Midgar? Are we even talking about planet Earth? Because that's where Providence is. We fight the bad guys, cure EVOs, and save the day. Basically, we're involved in anything EVO related, or do you not know what EVOs are? Trust me, looking at the situation, I'm considering some crazy possibilities, but can we first get out of this?"

His last question, of course, referred to the fact that the both of them were practically still locked in battle.

---

(R&D Lab: Cloud) @Burning Kitty

"Well, how did you think I'd react?" Scarlet protested at the blond man's words and J's judgmental glare.

"Alright... fair enough you two," J sighed, looking at her locator again. This time, her attention was drawn to two more emblems at another part of the base. The individuals carrying them were probably already interacting in some way. Hoping that it was not in a bad one, she turned back to the man. "Yeah, uh... you wait for that. Take a seat, relax, and I'll be right back."

The scientist grabbed the agent's arm as she was about to leave, and whispered to her. "Wait, what? You can't leave me with him!"

J rolled her eyes. "Let's put it this way, Doc - if he decides to murder you at any point, there's little I can do to stop him."

After J left, Scarlet glanced around nervously before reaching into a shelf in the corner and pulling out a can before holding it out to the man. "So, uh... soda for you?"

---

(???: Link) @Burning Kitty

Not much could be seen through the steam, only a silhouette. There was a moment of silent hesitation which seemed longer than it actually was, before a sturdy hand found itself around Link's wrist and gripped it tightly, holding her hand away from what it had touched. Another clamped firmly onto her shoulder.

"You shouldn't be in here, Miss."

"Yes, I suppose it is," R agreed with the girl, deciding it would be best not to wait till everything else was settled before the introduction. He could only hope J had things under control on her side. He then turned to the 'Queen'. "Good point there, Ma'am, Your Majesty. I really do apologize on behalf of the organization for how this looks to you. I'll be sure to bring this matter up to the mayor."

R then took a deep breath, pulling out a device which projected a hologram of the Cinix Defenders' emblem. "First of all, welcome to Cinix. You can call me Agent R, or Romeo. We'll start off with how you're all here. Look familiar? You see, a recent discovery has given us access to a whole bunch of new... worlds. This technology was initially utilized by an unknown party to bring hostile individuals into our dimension and city, and it still is. The organization figured it would be the quickest way to reveal to you this so-called 'multiverse' which we share. I assure you that there is a way back from where you came, but you might take interest in what I have to say."

He scrolled through a few images of perpetrators they had to deal with in the past. "We have left our emblems in the dimensions that we are able to access through the duplication of this technology, meaning that if you've discovered one, whoever created this first has access to your world as well, and believe me, their intentions aren't good. It would be possible for the enemies you face in your own worlds to assemble with others of similar intentions, among other things. Perhaps that already is happening and we don't know yet. So, all that's left for me to say is, this is an invitation, probably even an appeal, to investigate this situation with us here in Cinix, where we're at least certain is its origin."

Sighing in relief after the speech, R kicked open a cabinet under one of the couches, revealing some drinking glasses. "Crazy day, can I get you all some beverages?"

(Sewer: Skitterback) @eemmtt

As Skitterback worked, hissing could be heard echoing from the corners of the chamber. It only got louder, until several strange creatures crawled out from the darkness. They were not aggressive and did not attack, they did not even speak, but seemed intrigued by what the villain was doing. Letting out nothing but growls and hisses, they simply lingered, as if waiting for instructions of some kind.

CLOUD

Cloud took the soda. He turned it every which way. He grew weary of it and sliced one end of it off with one of the smaller swords that formed the larger gestalt sword. After taking a swig he made a face that showed he thought it was foul. He sat the can down. "Sugar is not your friend."

LINK

"Your mouth says I shouldn't be here but another part of you says differently. How about we listen to that one first, then we can sort the rest out later."

HE-MAN & SHE-RA

He-Man put his sword away. "Unless this evil you speak of can raise the dead you shalln't have a problem with the evils of my world coming through to yours, we made sure every last sapient threat to Eternia was put down for good. We were about to begin expansion efforts into the Queen's old territory she was forced to abandon until that emblem appeared. Only threat you will face from my world is the Masters of the Universe unless I can get word to them not to invade in order to rescue us. Believe me they will invade no matter what it takes they are fiercely loyal. If this evil you speak of is truly a threat to Eternia we will help.

The skaven backed away from the new arrive to his workshop. Leveling his halberd at the new arrival, "what are you-you!?" The skaven screech jabbing his halberd towards the shadows. After a few minuets he calmed down and began to closely inspect the new arrivals. "Make your self-self useful get me materials!" he ordered with some jester while going back to work.

Raven's complexion turned pale as the man explained how they came to this world, she thought of the moment her father broke his binding and reached out for her only to find a door way from him to freely use. She began to fear, though this time she would not lose control, Raven buried her emotions deep as she had done her whole life. She felt foolish for thinking her nightmare was over so easily.

"I must return to my world, if you what you say is true and there is indeed an open path way from my father's realm to here then your world is in more danger then you could possibly know. If my father breaks from his prison and searches for me he will find that pathway and come to conquer this world and any other world that he can step foot on." Raven says with no hint of emotion.

Shadows began to bellow out from the girls cloak as she returns her hood over her covering her face in darkness, "For a moment, I thought I could be free but it seems it was not meant to be." She says letting a sad smile reach her mouth. Her body is completely blacked in shadow then that too is gone leaving no trace of the hooded girl. However, it is only moments before the space Raven had occupied was filled again with shadow before the girl was spat out and sent flying past the King and Queen only to be stopped by the wall on the opposite side of the room. Her body slides to the floor as she goes unconscious.

Zack looked at the teen then at the swords and he reasoned that if Rex was trying to attack him, he wouldn’t be asking so many questions about where he was from. Chancing it, Zack slowly released the tension on his weapon and lowered it, “I guess we’re in the same boat here.. because I don’t understand a word you just said.. what exactly is an EVO?” Zack scratched the back of his head, wondering if he had missed a memo about EVOs and the Providence. “I don’t think I’ve heard of Providence either.. maybe we’re both the victims here - we should look for someone else in this place and see if they know what’s going on,” he suggested, putting his sword back against the magnetic plate on his back, “that is... if we promise not to attack each other again now.” He smirked and crossed his arms over his chest.
