"Nah..sorrrttaaaa needed a swift kick in the balls there. You delivered just that......" Drac says, before looking back to see Lisa messing with the sergals, being her normal ditzy self. "...At least I'm not alone." Drac says to himself, sighing. "....Asura..I know it's a long shot, but you wouldn't happen to know how to reform someone's soul...right?" Drac asks, a ting of hope in his voice.

"Whoever ya want...just...choose quickly. I feel like if I don't get a body soon, I may either fade into the afterlife, or meld with your mind...and neither of those is good." Gunner says, as already, slowly, his thoughts would bleed into Theta's. Mainly, giving her the munchies.

@Tyki
"Impressive." Shepard says, watching the moon. "....I'll accept the sample of your dna. I'll also invite you to a meeting, as I take it you may be near by. It'll be planet side, at a rather nice dinner...we can discuss business there." Shepard says, before giving her the quards, and hanging up, as he heads towards the dinner. The holo-pod is left there, incase they'd need to say something else, but oddly, he'd shut it off for a moment, some how....like putting a phone on the receiver.

[Tyki]

@supertinyking

the holo-pod slowly disentegrates once it's shut off, the captain arriveing in what seems to be a diplomatic vessel with quite a few automatic turrets for defense rather than arriving unarmed, though she does step off of it if there's no hostility, leaving it at a landing bay or the nearest forest clearing before going over to the bunker or diner that the commander had gone into, carrying a small vial with her as well as a fairly hefty pistol that looked to be an improvement over the older model. she towers over the clones as she walks confidently towards where she had been told to meet the commander for dinner

"Sorry. I don't." Asura sighs "I'll tell you if I find something."

"I know the person." She says as she portals in a confused blonde girl with bluish skin and red eyes "THIS IS FOR EMBARASSING ME ON LIVE TV YOU BITCH!!!" She screams. Biting the girl on the shoulder ans then throwing her across the room "okay. Now we just need to wait a bit for her dna to be assimilated by the dna in my saliva."

[supertinyking]

@Tyki
He meets her in a small, family run place, him already drinking a bit of soup broth. "Ah, you arrive. Good to meet you, face to face." Shepard says, looking..down at her. His height is exceptional...dwarfing even her. He looked a lot shorter on the camera oddly. "Order whatever. It's on me, and it's all delicious." Shepard says, grinning.

[supertinyking]

@kishin asura

Drac sighs, and floats off, leaving Asura to do whatever......

"...What's gonna happen when it does start? She gonna start changing, she gonna melt, what?" Gunner asks, watching intently, interested. Oddly, this focus helps keep him from blending in with Theta.

[Tyki]

@supertinyking

"very well" she replies evenly, looking over the menu and ordering a large rack of ribs after sitting with him, seeming unperturbed by his monstrous height. "what is it you wished to speak of specificially?" she asks evenly before digging into her ribs, devouring them ravenously

[Teoinsanity]

@thewizardguy

Teo would laugh like a complete Psyco and grin ,his goggles glowing as he gets onto his knees and laughs lowder.

"I already won ,Already did"

he would laugh again as Brown ran back to the Tetris ,if you looked in ,it would show Melody on the console ,done clicking a button.

Did it boss

she would giggle as Teo would start talking again.

"You have gone thru alot of effort to hide yourself,But I was able to find you easily thru bullshit ,Melody already sent the coorodinates of this universe to every ally I have via butler bot,they all know you are here now"

he would say as he teleported into his bus,he would laugh again as he saluted Stein and drove off.

In the smoke ,there would be a nuke signed Teo and a note attached to it.

"Have fun!"

[supertinyking]

@Tyki
"Simple. I wanted to test your strength...how about after our meals, we head outside for a quick sparring match." Shepard says, grinning a bit.

[kishin asura]

@kishin asura

Drac sighs, and floats off, leaving Asura to do whatever......

"...What's gonna happen when it does start? She gonna start changing, she gonna melt, what?" Gunner asks, watching intently, interested. Oddly, this focus helps keep him from blending in with Theta.

@supertinyking

Asura looks around to make sure no one's watching, and the portals away. Anyone seeing this would've been suspicious

"That." Theta replies as the girl gets up. Now looking exactly like theta "gunner I would like to introduce you to your new body." Theta says gesturing to her doppleganger

[supertinyking]

@kishin asura
He's tailed by something, something he may not even notice...a small beetle, walking with him, watching him.

"................................Fucking sweet." Gunner says, rather...eerily impressed. "I'd studied genetics at one point, and that's amazing..."

[kishin asura]

@supertinyking

He ends up in a small cave "better late then never." He says. Looking around as if searching for something

"Enough chat." Theta says as she nods to her doppleganger. Which nods back and transforms to look exactly like gunner "there you go."

[supertinyking]

@kishin asura
The beetle keeps following him, silently creeping atop the cave ceiling....

Doing a spiritual spin kick, Gunner flies into the new body, kicking the poor girl's soul out of it.
"..Theta." He says, walking over to her, and looking down at her, seeming extremely serious.

[kishin asura]

@supertinyking

Asura keeps searching. Growing more and more worried

"Yes?" She asks

[supertinyking]

@kishin asura
The beetle looks around, as if trying to find what he was looking for.

Gunner scoops her up in a tight hug. "You're the best." He says, smiling.

Alucard makes a snorting, growling sound in the back of his throat, with sufficient force and vehemence that any attempt by a human to replicate it would most likely end in severe choking. "So reluctant to fight. You know I am an enemy, you must know of the things I have done. What, don't you have enough justification by now? I was hoping to make this a more personal experience, really, but perhaps you need some more... incentive?" He smiles, and it is not a happy smile.

A portal opens before him, as he steps through, wings trailing slightly behind him as he moves through the panel of light. Through this panel, a blurry vision is visible. A city, it's buildings reaching high into the sky, great bridges crossing the gap. Blue-skinned humanoid figures crowded over the bridges and streets, many utilizing small, podlike vehicles to move from place to place. Occasionally, a deviant becomes visible, a member of some different species. Far overhead, in the pale red sky, some manner of spacecraft exits orbit, it's great bulk becoming impossible to see from the surface.

It did not take long, however, for the goldlike yellow walls to be painted purple with the blood of innocents.

"Quite impressive. I had pegged you for a brute, and yet it seems my judgement may have been premature. With this simply move you might have turned the tables on me, providing you with the assistance you require to escape." As Teo attempts to teleport, he finds this beyond his current capabilities, his arcane powers annihilated by this realm's inherent rules. Here, the only powers he would be able to access were those directly linked to Soular Manipulation. "Undoubtedly, had we been in any other location, a host of opponents rearing for my death would have shown themselves. But this my the Lab. My beautiful daughter tells me that you associate yourself with the fools of the Lounge, but they will not come here to save you. Even they are not such imbeciles as to challenge me here."

Several figures step out from the doorways, still and silent sillhouettes with bright green glowing eyes. Patched together from the bodies of the fallen, brought to life with an artificial soul. Homemade lifeforms, flesh golems of the highest caliber. Stein's greatest attempt at entering the Territory of God, and creating new life. Metallic sheens betrayed the presence of a variety of weapons, implanted into their flesh and linked to their central nervous system.

Stein looks up to Melody and Brown. "You are free to leave, of course. Undoubtedly your transportation device would allow you to escape before I could enter it, and with so many alerted to my presence, I would not be able to pursue. Of course, you would have to leave this one behind." He gestured at Teo with his off hand, while his right hand retrieves a scalpel from his lab coat. It's obsidian black, and even from a distance the violent energies it emitted could be felt. This weapon thirsted for blood, it demanded to be used to kill, to maim, to slaughter. "Regardless of what you choose, I can guarantee he will be returned relatively unharmed. My daughter will be returning soon, but she already has her toys."

Two of the undead lift Teo to his feet, as Stein positions himself between Teo and the tetris. Were he to use some trick to escape from the zombies, he would need to face Stein without his cartoon powers. If Melody and Brown were to attempt to rescue him, they would also need to fight Stein before reaching Teo. And even now, more zombies were entering the scene.

The choice was left to Melody and Brown. Would they attempt to fight Stein and his army of zombies, or would they attempt to convince someone to assist them. Many would be happy to kill Stein, and some might be suicidal enough to attack him in his Lab.

@supertinyking

Asura's gaze lingers at a spot on the wall "there it is." He says with a chuckle as he walks toward it

"Thanks." Theta says as she hugs back

[Tyki]

@supertinyking

"that does not coincide with my orders. the vessel i command is exploratory in nature and i'm to avoid all conflict if neccessary. i appreciate the offer but i must decline. however, if you wish to make a trade treaty then i can do that" the captain replies evenly, seeming quite stalwart in her beleifs as she speaks and takes the occasional bite out of her ribs, taking bone and all.

@thewizardguy
The glowing portal remained open for him, beckoning, letting Mithias witness the carnage and suffering wrought within. Mithias clenched a fist. "What?? You! Argh... Oh you vile manipulator!" He cursed in a sharp hiss and Followed into the portal. Alucard's ripping shit up was probably something he did every day, and yet, Mithias's stomach turned at the thought of all those lives pointlessly lost. Sure, predators had to feed and vampires had to drink blood, but those things were necessary for survival. What Alucard was doing was a gluttonous waste, a cruel sentience unbound by the logic of nature. It was spiteful.

Appearing on the other world, Mithias tried to make sense of what was going on. Some giant spacecraft was moving in the sky, but was it landing? crashing? leaving? Mithias couldn't watch it long enough to tell. His eyes darted to spot the evil trespasser. "Alucard!" He called out.
