[IC] Multiverse Rising (Always in need of New Friends)

[Flamelord]

Ruiko Saten

In the midst of running, Ruiko noted with some interest the incident that took place, with the Berserker beating down one of it's own kind out of sheer rage. That certainly made things interesting for her, and opened up all sorts of possible options for dealing with this, now that she knew that it was a thing. And really, this was the only way to have found out, so she thanked her powers for it.

Then it hit her, like a slam in the gut. It was a feeling of primal terror, of the urge to run for her life and never look back, hitting just when those things roared. She could guess where it came from, and it took all of her will and burning anger to resist the mental effect. She would not allow it to overwhelm her that easily, that much she swore as she continued to kite the giant beasts.

Then things got difficult, as a truck was sent flying at her, a solid core of mass hurtling right at her that would definitely take hr out. So she acted, leaping out of the way while using her air powers to shunt it's flight path. That took her right towards a Berserker though, and almost without thinking she struck out at it. She was not about to die here, in this place and this sort of location.

Her power though practically lashed at the Berserker, sharp blades of wind swiping at skin and bone, attempting to lacerate the bone if not cut the arm off entirely. A solid pulse of air also served to keep him away, at least until she could clear the grab.

Then she saw her opportunity, and went for it. This could be what she needed to end this, quickly. A cone of air sent a tank flying at the Berserkers from the side o the road, and another burst of power snapped the valve with a burst. Adding in a bit of metal, she grinned as it caught and exploded in their midst. She was sure that that had done it. At the very least, it would have heavily injured them. And hopefully that was a good enough show for them.

Ba'al and Teal'c, Caracas, Venezuela

Ba'al showed no surprise or much caring at all as Biollante deduced his overarching plans, since they weren't exactly the most complicated or subtle. But then again, being this predictable only helped him. It would ensure that she underestimated him, which would play to his advantage.

"But of course," he replied calmly, hands clasped in front of him. "Is it not the right of a God to rule over all that lies in his vision, to decide who may be free, who will die, and who shall continue to serve?" Perfectly Goa'uld right there. Apophis would be proud, were he still alive to be anything.

Forgetting about the one he knocked into the building for a moment, Grimlock turned his attention to the one falling down on him. He put some of the last energy he had into raising his sword to deflect the slash, so that instead of damaging his entire body it only damaged his arm. The electric wave simply took too much out of him to do any more than that. He could feel his circuits still sizzling, sending pricks of pain to his central processor. He was seeing red, although not due to anger. Falling to the ground, his massive form imbedded itself into the ground as he no longer had the strength to stand. Alerts and alarms were buzzing in his head, telling him that he needed to act quickly to stabilize himself.

Unfortunately, no such aid would arrive for him. His vision started to fade as his energy levels dropped to dangerous levels. In an act of final defense, his body went into a standby mode. His once vibrant energy signature faded to a barely visible flicker. His eyes and other parts of him began to dim down until the glowing was just barely visible. Entering stasis-lock would allow him to survive this ordeal ... hopefully.

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

Flying over the original source of the burst, Starscream wasn't quite sure what he was seeing. It didn't make sense! This kind of thing was alien to Cybertronian culture of his time, so he had very little to come up on to describe it. Tiny versions of once fearsome threats all ... playing about and wasting time.

Rapidly descending over the palace, he transformed and landed atop the wreckage. These pathetic creatures were truly disgusting. They were creating sparkles and images of water refracting (rainbows). They were making high pitch giggling sounds, as if their life-or-death battle had become some sort of inside joke.

Choosing not to crush them when he had the chance, he opted to watch from the sidelines. Perhaps he could wait this foolishness out, and then strike a deal with the ones who created the pulse. He'd much rather be on their side than against it. While the preferable option would be to kill them all in their weakened state and claim their armies for his own, he knew they were probably stronger than their forms let on. He could tell this wait was going to be excruciatingly dull.

Über Ethereal

Unknown Area, Arcadia-1

The mindlessness of the Berserkers made it so that they wee exceptionally easy for the young esper to apply her abilities on them as they rushed in. The Berserker that attempted a close range finisher would receive a blast of slicing air in multiple parts of its arm before having it break down and explode before Ruiko's face. This phenomenon was the accumulation of the increased steroids in its body and its barely controlled muscle mass, ended up with a terrible chemical reaction once the arm was ripped to shreds and rendered useless in multiple levels. The girl would be covered in its blood but it didn't fall just yet. With one last try to intimidate her, it would receive the final blast of air blades in the head, killing it instantly.

Two remained, and they would be greeted with a tank that the small powerhouse had tossed in their direction via her ability. One was bloodlusted and quickly evaded it, however the other got in its way. As violent as it was before, it simply pushed the obstacle into the impact point of the tank, causing the third Berserker to fall, crushed to death by the massive vehicle. And now, there was only one left and it was barely twenty meters away from the girl.

"Hmmm. Not bad. Now let's see you defeat this."

The Alien would suddenly Mind Merge with the beast, causing it to not only have functioning mind patterns thanks to the Ethereal's influence but also augmented reflexes and accuracy. It charged in, though this time it adopted a position that increased its speed and enabled easier dodging. It was ready to strike and keep her at arms reach as range seemed to be her strength. If she were to bounce away, it would quickly jump up right behind her in an attempt to bring her back down and finish it. If she were to use those air blades, it would charge in like a football player, arm and shoulder up front as shielding as it would ram her over without any issues. As for projectiles, well, the reflexes were there for a reason, right?

@Lmpkio
A sword struck through Apocalypse's chest, impaling it. Satsuki grinned from behind, as rainbows burst from the wound, leaking down Apocalypse's body. But the creature simply grinned, not giving the singlest shit for the wound that would have put down a lesser creature. Using Satsuki's perceived victory, Apocalypse beat her into the ground, the impact once more creating a minor earthquake. Satsuki seemed mostly unharmed, her body held together by the life threads, but the strike was enough to shake even her.

Gidorah tried to use the opportunity to land the blow, the first of the other Conquerors to attack. But she had lost her Prime form, her rage being tempered by the friendship grenades, her strength and speed far too low to face Apocalypse's wrath. The behemoth simply caught her fist, grinning as it closed it's hand. With a loud crack the kaiju-woman's knuckles broke, her bones shattering under a force that would have crushed diamonds. No doubt it would have gone worse, had Bowser not intervened. A massive fist smashed into the side of the creature's face, it's power upped many times by the pills he had taken. And unlike during their first encounter, the blow was not ignored, sending Apocalypse flying across the newly formed ruins, into his very own crater.

But the creature simply stood, a grin afixed to it's face. Rainbows bled from it's chest and face, but it's body simply rebuilt itself. It pulled the sword from it's body, and dropped it to the floor. And yet the wounds it had inflicted on the Conquerors did not heal. Apocalypse laughed as it walked forward, all sparkles and glamour, and yet surrounded by an aura of fear. The creature was cutesy in appearance, it's body shrunken and it's voice squeaky. And yet, it was no less dangerous for it. For it's rage had not been tempered, and it's killing intent still burned strong. It would slaughter the Alliance, and it would build a throne from their corpses. This world would be the first of many, and it would tear all here to the ground. It would carve it's legacy into the face of the multiverse, tracing a path of carnage across our reality, to paint his name in the stars with the blood of the innocent and guilty alike.

This was a war of attrition, against an enemy who would not die. Even in chibi form, if the Conquerors did not take this threat seriously, their faction would be annihilated here and now.

Kula Aleandrite
World: 00 - Arcadia
Location: Coastal Mainland - Statue of Liberty

BGM: Voyage 1969

The wind abruptly passed through. It blew strongly, like if it said "Wake up!" for those who slept. At least, it gave that sense to the young fo that finally woke up. "Flanoir's experimental tests always have some kind of error. It is interesting that he created a space travelling machine, but...", he said, while getting up. All that his eye could see was a city fulfilled with skyscrapers. Yet, instead of a beautiful metropolis, it looked like a gigantic ruin to his eye. Maybe it's because everything never seemed like that to him, back at his world. When he looked a little more, it became clear he was at the hand of a statue. The Liberty Statue, as he oftenly read on his books back at the castle. His exact position: he was at the book the statue held. How did I ended up here? And this is not a safe position. If it was the torch, it could be different, but..., he thought. Of course, he found a way. "I hope those who built this statue forgive me for this. Zero Skate!", he spoke to himself.

Two pair of ice blades formed under his shoes. Taking a risk he never took before, the statue turned on a ramp for him to go down. The speed was immense, like gravity was thoroughly pulling him down. Maintaining his balance and keeping a considerable speed, he jumped and percetly landed on the ground. The view of the city was different from below, but it didn't changed his vision of a ruin. I have to investigate this place before anything. But first, I need to get out of here and go to the island where the city lies. And as far as I can see, there is only one way to do it., he thought while looking at the sea. Removing his glove, nothing seemed to appear. The nitrogen was like a dust, floating in the air. Only with close inspection one could say that it looked like a hand. The fox threw some it at the water, instantly freezing the part where the dust fell. Two risks in one single situation. This is not the sign of a good start. It is better if I become cautious with my actions., he thought. A child slipping through unnatural ice that appeared into the water.

That's how Kula's adventure finally began...

Alliance Of Conquerers - Arcadia-1

And even after their combined assault, they still didn't seem to affect the cutesy mighty Apocalypse! Sure Bowser did one strong punch and while Satsuki and Ultron were still reasonably fine, Ghidorah-San's left fist was crippled. Her regeneration abilities will kick in, but it would take awhile for a full recovery. Yet as the four back away from this beast who wants to love them till their dead, there seemed to be one person missing. Someone forgotten by Apocalypse.

In one of his fits of giggles, he failed to hear a lightsaber ignite behind him. But before he could react, Satsuki and Bowser began to hold the beast down, realizing what was going on at the last second. But even as he squirmed it was just enough distraction for the unchibified Starkiller to come down upon the mighty brute and decapitate him in one swift strike. It would probably try to claw or punch him away, but he was just a tad bit slow for that as he plops on his belly and may perhaps slowly get his head on the situation again.

By that time, the effects of the grenade began to dissipate, with all the ones who got turned into chibis turning back into their regular forms. Colorful sparkly rainbow fluids turned into the redness of blood, the squeaky voices turning back into regular audio, and their tiny bodies reverting back to their original sizes. Once again, they've been put into a massive brawl of madness and they can't create their own empire here...

"We cannot stay here for much longer." Starkiller proclaims, "At this rate of conflict, we'd achieve nothing here. We need to head back."

Ghidorah-San growls as she gets up slowly, grunt in pain as her knuckles begin to be back to normal.

"And I was just going to make our new capital base on this world!"

"Ultron. Make us a portal back to headquarters."

"It will be unwise. I feel like that thing will track us back there. Only option is to teleport to a random location, far from what's going on here."

"Doesn't matter. Just somewhere far away from what's going down here. We need to regroup."

And with that Ultron creates a random portal towards some other location within Arcadia-1. The remaining armies of the Alliance began to head back into the portal, along with the Imperial forces. The commanders then began to head into the portal, with Ghidorah-San then looking back one last time towards everyone else and heads into the portal, which closes before Apocalypse could get his hands on her or any other of the members...

The Alliance were now on the run, but not without causing some heavy casualties. And despite being finally defeated, they will be back to finish what they started in time...

Gojira-San & Ryu - Acadia-2

"Whats your name giant lizard lady hybrid? GLLH is a really bad name for me to use, please don't make me use it." Light said, not showing any signs of anger of being flattened just moments ago.

"Gojira." answers the kaiju-hybrid while dusting her off.

Meanwhile, Ryu was dealing with the cat he will come to know as Shin.

"Nyehey!!! Me didnt say stop rubbing, meow!" he booms as soon as Ryu stopped rubbing him

"Take it easy." he simply answers, "We'll scratch you later."

"Is that guy named Ryu, or am I remembering things wrong? I swear I've seen him somewhere before."

"Yes." Gojira-San replies to Light's question, "I believe this is the one you've seen before."

After the whole shenanigan, Ryu then tells the two newcomers on that how they're going to the city in search of shelter, help, and to what should appeal Shin very much... food.

"Once we're in the city," Ryu continues, "We'll split up and search the place out. Now c'mon everyone."

"Someone carry me, meow... My legs hurt, n-nya...!"

"*Sigh* And can someone help him up too?" the champion would finally finish.

He and the group would then continue towards the city from that time on.

Biollante-San

"But of course. Is it not the right of a God to rule over all that lies in his vision, to decide who may be free, who will die, and who shall continue to serve?"

It was then where Biollante began to slightly frown. She would then reveal a comnlink-like object towards Ba'al and shows him the destruction of The Emperor of Mankind, along with the Imperium. The comnlink loop would show the armies of the Alliance and Empire forces bringing complete destruction to the palace and the death of Nova himself.

"There has been an incident," she then says seriously in a slightly somber tone, "A god has fallen. One who proclaims himself as The Emperor of Mankind... Nova, the grand leader of the vast Imperium. An army that has been trained as the most powerful army from within the multiverse. And now... they have fallen under the hands of the enemy..."

She pauses to let Ba'al view the attack a few loops over.

"Every god has a legacy..." she continues, "But history has repeated itself in every universe. Every god will fall eventually. And in this endless cycle of life and death... it appears you happen to be next on Death's list."

She then closes the comnlink and offers him to take it.

"If you want to keep your crown, you'd want to use this... to keep in touch."

She then pauses again.

"Whether you believe it is coming or not, it is your decision." she then continues in the same note, "But watch yourself mighty Ba'al, and prepare your defenses... For they are coming for you next..."

Light - Arcadia 2

While Light was a bit preoccupied with Gojira and Ryu, Another group member came up to meet her. "Oh hello...Elsword you said?" Light said, looking at the guy who came up to greet her, Gojira also telling Light her name.

"Oh cool. Why does that name sound familiar?" Light said, scratching her head at Gojira's name. She lost her train of thought when her suspicions about Ryu were confirmed, and took a look at the rest of the group. She saw, if Elsword was included, what she would describe as some sort of typical RPG party, with Elsword being the warrior, someone she thought was a mage, a solider girl, and a couple others. She almost mistook the orange lady with large zebra horns as one of their members, but the robe and techno looking sword made her stand out like Gojira and Ryu.

Glancing at Ryu again, she noticed he was dealing with some sort of bipedal housecat. She didn't think much of it until said housecat started to complain about having to walk, Ryu wanting to get the group going again after Light and the cat person having stopped them. "I'm not carrying the cat person!" Light said, raising her hand as if she was playing a game. Light wasn't fond of things trying to be intentionally cute, they always turned out to be something sinister in her experience.

Non the less, at the mention of food, Light said. "If someone is hungry, I can probably dig out some sort of food item. Dunno what it'll be though so I hope your not picky." Finishing that, she dug inside her dress bottom, pulling out objects from what seemed to be thin air, although her hand was pretty deep inside her dress. "Ah lets see... Nah, thats a hammer. Ew, no one wants an eyeball. Nope..." Light said, the third item being a black bomb she threw off to the side away from the group, the bomb comically exploding when it landed. After about ten items, she sighed and gave up.

"It never gives me something when I want it. Just all sorts of random junk. I mean, what am I going to do with these?" Light said, holding up a flashlight and a pair of comically oversized underwear. With another sigh she grabbed the items she had tossed and put them back into her dress.

Kolon

@lmpkio@thewizardguy

Kolon noticed that his new friends were leaving through some kind of portal. And that the effects of his friend grenades were wearing off. Noting this, kolon would send them a parting gift. He would pull another grenade out, this time a orangish one, and would throw it towards them with all his might. The ensuing blast would catch a couple of stormtroopers. Though as would surely be noted, nothing seemed to happen. However, the stormtroopers armor would hide the fact that they were in fact changing. Growing fur. By the time it would be noticed though, they would no doubt be through the portal.

Kolon then turned towards apocalypse, who was still rather chibified. Kolon didn't intend to leave his thumbs up unanswered, and would return with a thumbs up of his own and a joyful cry of "Rupu!" The effects on apocalypse would be wearing off soon, but even so, the simple aura of adorableness that kolon radiated might very well soften his nonexistent heart, just a tiny bit. Maybe.

Cyano Conablum

@savato

The robot was powering down. That was good. It looked far more intact then it had been, even with the huge gash down the middle that ultimately dealt the final blow. Though that was fine. It could be repaired later. It wouldn't be that hard. Unfortunately though, there weren't many ways for her to get the creature back. And the ethereal wanted a report.

"Alright, I know your still watching me from somewhere. We have one... somewhat alive robot here. And there's a palace just a little bit away from us. I think I caught a glimpse of the creature there. Though it looked a tiny bit different. Either way, I'm not headed there"

After that, which the ethereal would hopefully catch, she would turn to the robot and begin scanning it over. It certainly was a big fellow. And the technology was unique, if a bit behind on the times. The shapeshifting was much smoother then her own attempts to make something like that. But the size no doubt accounted for that. Either way. Outward hadn't showed. So someone somewhere wasnt going to see tomorrow probably.

Well, she reported it. So hopefully the ethereal would send someone to grab this thing. Though after that she would need to get it to her own labs to study it. Though for now she would take the time to have a well deserved rest.

[Flamelord]

Ahsoka Tano, Arcadia-2

Walking along, Ahsoka had about a moment's notice thanks to the Force before the two newcomers presented themselves, one of whom was a sort of animal, and the other much less so. She halted for the moment, folding her arms as she watched. Of course, there was the other distraction from Neptune, but that was a small thing.

"Hello Light, Shin," she said to them calmly. "My name is Ahsoka Tano." Well then, introductions were pretty easy, though she held out the hope that she wouldn't have to do many more in the immediate future. The fact that people kept showing up was not the most thrilling news.

At the cat's request, she lifted an eyebrow before acting. "I can do it," she said, before gently lifting Shin with the Force. It was almost like the old days, and soon enough she resumed walking. If Shin didn't like it though, well, enough struggling would break him free. Or rather, she'd let him go at that point.

Ruiko Saten

Ruiko grinned in success, before that transformed in to a wince as the Berserker's arm exploded, covering her in blood. That was...disgusting, weird, and while she didn't know the cause she knew for certain that it didn't feel good, and it grossed her out. Something like this was beyond her experience, even in the final days leading up to the assault of Kiyama's laboratory. Even the third one fell, leaving only one left for her to face, and she was pretty confident about her chances.

Then something seemed to...change. She wasn't entirely sure what, but the Berserker adapted, changing it's stance to cope with what she was doing at the moment. That was worrying, yet she grit her teeth and went on. She couldn't afford to lose, not when she had come so far.

It only took a few seconds of running to realize that the thing was prepared for it now, and while she wondered what had caused this, she was more focused on how to win. Getting ranged hadn't worked, so it seemed like it was time to get in close. She came down from her last jump in a crouch, sneakers skidding against the sidewalk.Then as it approached, she acted once more, with a strategy prepared.

Before it could hit her, she dropped to the ground and kicked upwards. A jet of air emanated from her foot, shooting a powerful blast of air upwards that would serve to break it's guard as she spun back to her feet. From there she would deliver a punch, a practical shockwave of air emanating from her fist as she utilized her powers in a more close ranged capacity. Her remaining projectiles would all be launched like a shotgun at once, before she went for the coup de grace, A double handed blast of air to it the thing as hard as she could. It would burn through her energy, but it would be worth it.

Ba'al and Teal'c, Caracas, Venezuela

Ba'al watched with a curious eye as Biollante rebutted him, presenting a video of the destruction of the man who had said that he was the God Emperor, at the hands of an alliance of people. It reminded him a little of the Tau'ri, but it was far too disparate to measure up to that. And while he might be daunted a little, he could not be fully brought to a halt by this news.

"Ah yes, him," Ba'al said ambivalently. "I saw his broadcast, but I did not take heed of his words. I am merely surprised that he fell so quickly. Nonetheless, I have been in many life or death situations before, and always triumphed. Isn't that right Teal'c?"

"Yes Lord Ba'al," Teal'c replied calmly, keeping his weapon trained on Biollante, like the good soldier that he was.

Still, though, Ba'al stepped forward and took the communicator. "I suppose it doesn't hurt to keep your options open though. Being married to my wife has made that very clear to me. Wouldn't you agree, Teal'c?"

Much the same as last time, Teal'c was calm as he answered. "Lord Qetesh is is very impressive. I would not enjoy being on her bad side."

With communicator in hand, Ba'al examined it as he stpeped back. "Will that be all?"

[Savato]

Über Ethereal

Unknown Area, Arcadia

@Flamelord@Absolis@Lmpkio@Hamstrong

---

The Ethereal impressed by what that human child was displaying, especially with that final blow on the enhanced Berserker. Most of its observations ended up being confirmed once she had displayed what appeared to be the extent of her power considering how she'd be taxed out of power after her finishing blow. The Beserker would evidently be wasted from that blast, crashing down near the Ethereal with the body covered in lacerations. It was still alive barely clinging on life. The alien overlord would simply point at it with its grey hand and a flash of light would occur before Ruiko's eyes. She was indeed rather far at this point, but she could see the whole scene happen. The top half of the Berserk was blasted away by the close rang Psi-Lance is immediately applied.

"Remarkable. A lot of individuals would have issues dealing with four of these, let alone a merged one. Perhaps you do you an invisible potential."

From the young esper's standpoint, she'd hear the Ethereal's raspy and echoing voice clearly even at her distance. She'd also see some bizarre manifestation take form around the being, like some kind of invisible appendage coming out of its body. As it got longer, a purple shade like most of its Psionic abilities would cover said ephemeral manifestation before it would distort itself and charge toward the likely tired Ruiko. She could try to defend herself, but by pushing it back, it would simply branch out into another appendage and nab her swiftly. When she'd feel it wrap around her, she'd easily notice that it looked like a hand stretching all the way from the Ethereal to her position in a second. The hold was tight and her strength wasn't nearly enough for the alien to lose control.

With that tight grip, it would simply pull her back at full speed toward it, only to land her gently a few meters before the overlord. As usual, it took a brief moment to scrutinize her before actually doing something. Finally, it spoke.

"You are not devoid of dormant power. It is clear your are only blooming. If you wish for more power, we would willingly offer it to you. However, deny our help and you will encounter far worst beings than these beasts. Considering your state, you will die."

In the same time, it attempted to, once again, send a message to the scattered agents in Arcadia for a report. They were to meet soon, with or without the goods, and proceed to the final part of the current mission.

'Conablum. Rodriguez. Biollante. Report. Once operations are complete, the checkpoint we have indicated in your receivers will be our meeting grounds. The final step before retreat must occur.'

It ordered through telepathy. A checkpoint would appear in a small receiver they all had, indicating New York city, near the location where Nova had lost the war.

"If you accept to march with us, give us your name. Make haste, as we must depart quickly."

It informed her before turning its figure slightly to face the pathetic Saber who laid vanquished by a simple projectile. All of a sudden, it would apply the same vector it used on Ruiko to lift Saber up a couple of meters and drop him for a forced awakening. It would then give him a very honest justification.

"Whether you follow us or not, you do not have much of a choice right now."

@Lmpkio
Apocalypse roared one last time, as the Lightsaber struck the side of it's head. Through the inexplicable properties of the lightsaber it acted like a solid blade, the heat allowing it to slowly melt through even the immensely heat resistant Apocalypse's skin. It took about ten seconds to slice Apocalypse's head off, and he seemed to be alive until the very last strand of flesh was cut. Then, finally defeated, the titan dropped to it's knees, and collapsed to the ground. It's ugly head rolled away from it, slowly reverting to normal. Not a single drop of blood was dropped, and yet it seemed the monster had finally been defeated.

Of course, Apocalypse was already recovering. His body was improving, his cells improving their basic makeup, even as preparations were made to once more join the head and body together. Data from his combat experiences were translated into additional features, to improve his durability, strength and speed. And most importantly, to make him immune to whatever it was that killed him. With every death the possible weapons to kill him with became smaller, the options narrowing down.

The Ethereal, of course, would be well aware of Apocalypse's defeat. He would also know that Apocalypse would be revived in about 30 minutes. This would only be about ten minutes after the other event, which would unfortunately occur quite nearby.

[thewizardguy]

Agatha smiled brightly, as she finished the calibrations on the portal generator. She took a sip of amazing coffee, holstered her death ray, and activated the portal once more. While she'd been tinkering all day, it appeared she was in a completely different dimension. While she had modified the portal to function not simply interspatially but interdimensionally, there seemed to be something missing. Without coordination or leads, attempting to travel through the multiverse was basically just a shot in the dark. Based on her recent observations, the amount of universes was a number that approached infinity, in that it could not be counted. Although it didn't seem to be quite infinite, it was potentially infinite, in that it contained a nigh-infinite expansion.

What had made this entire ordeal additionally interesting was that the laws of physics in this universe seemed to operate slightly differently from what she was used to. It wasn't a significant change, but it was strange enough that it was noteworthy. It also opened up the possibility of different sets of laws of physics, or at the very least universal constants, in different dimensions. Indicating that any set of rules was possible, and as such a universe would exist for every possible set of rules.

Taking this into consideration, the amount of universes in which human life was impossible would vastly outnumber the amount of universes that were capable of supporting human life. Altering constants such as the gravitational constants, the strong/weak atomic force, the lightspeed constant, the gravity-time relationship, or the boiling point of water would end up completely annihilating any and all human beings. And she had no way of preventing these new rules from affecting her. Based on her calculations, the changed rules would also affect beings standing near the portal, and as such might end up killing her before she even stepped through. Combine with the 1/billion odds of finding a universe that didn't instantly kill her, and the even smaller odds of finding a place IN that universe that contained the resources and atmosphere she would require to survive, testing multiversal travel seemed like a terrible idea.

However, she had definitely been moved here. And based on her previously established laws of probability, the chances of her arriving in a world that not only allowed for the existence of solid matter, but supported human life, were so small they were virtually nonexistent. As such, it would seem that she had been placed her with a reason, or at least guided by some intent. And if that were a possibility, this would indicate that it would be possible for her to find some 'multiversal coordinates' that would allow her to return home, some method of discerning on universe from another without opening a portal to it.

Either that, or an infinite series of Agathas had been transported to various random locations, and she was simply the version that survived. This would thus make her a single insignificant part of an infinite series, with an infinitely low probability of ever getting home, or even surviving this situation. Well, that was a depressing thought.

On to better things! Exploration! Meeting people! �������!

@MagusDream

As the portal roared to life once more, it revealed what appeared to be a giant statue in the distance, and a small island. It seemed she had emerged at the edge of the large city she found herself stranded in. Although there appeared to be an abnormally large amount of ice in the ocean. Considering that salt water was significantly harder to freeze, and the fact that this appeared to be an ocean, this also indicated that the temperatures there would have to be stunningly cold. Certainly cold enough to kill her. However, It seemed to be just fine at the waterfront, so she stepped through. No point in getting cold feet now.

Although this also opened up the possibility that salt in this world actually caused water to freeze more easily. However, considering the straight path it had frozen in, it seemed far more likely that this was the work of a spark, or some insane creation. Perhaps an underwater freezing robot, or some madman with a frost ray. Or perhaps a device that altered the chemical properties of salt? Considering the quantity of salt usually present within the human body, such a machine could have devastating effects.

As Agatha emerged from the portal, it closed behind her. She watchfully kept an eye on the giant statue, expecting it to come alive any moment. She was attempting to determine which part of the statue would most likely contain the cannons, when she was interrupted by the presence of some strange-looking kid on the ice. He certainly didn't look like a spark, although he seemed to be skating with skates made of ice. That was certainly odd. "Hey, kid! It's not safe over there! You might fall through!" She wasn't sure what the danger would be, but considering the possible presence of a spark.... laser sharks. Definitely laser sharks.

Oooh, how would you make one of those, anyway?

Starscream watched patiently as the conquerors took care of the beast. Their ability to defeat such an opponent in their weakened state illustrated their skill. The Alliance of Conquerors would be the perfect platform for his objectives. Megatron would one day regret making a fool of Starscream, and old gladiator would pay for that mistake with his life.

While his original plan to steal an army from Shockwave failed, this time he was sure it would work! It would take more subtlety, but such a requirement was practically nothing to him. He would worm his way into the command structure of this group, he would use their resources to gain revenge for Megatron's actions against him, and then he would steal their armies right from under their noses. He donned a smirk as his plan began to come together. His glory was unstoppable, not even the most powerful beings in the multiverse would be able stop him!

As the Alliance's armies began to file into the portal their leaders had opened, he saw his chance. Keeping his cloak activated, he transformed and flew into the portal. Though he would be practically invisible, to any paying attention there would be a slight distortion as he passed on through. Of course, such thing could easily be explained as a mere gust of wind created from the portals power. At least, that was what he was counting on. Regardless, it didn't matter, he would be presenting himself to these conquerors soon enough.

Banha Akiyama

Anhur

---

"Who's shooting us?!" The Yakuza were situated in a primitive apartment building, a rundown brick house in the outskirts of the city. A secret base of operations in the middle of Anhur. Well, not so secret anymore. Rounds pelted the wall behind them, glass shattering, kinetic shields flashed blue as spikes skimmed them, some breaking down completely. They were huddled against any cover they could find, desecrated walls, mouldy couches, anything to stop the barrage.

Banha clutched his C-14 tight, gasping and rasping for air. They were caught with their pants down, this was supposed to be one of the safest places in the Nebula. Anhur was their capital and they owned this world. Didn't stop some damn Terran spec-ops to infiltrate the planet. 'These fuckers have been a pain in the arse, this stops now.' The Batarian crawled forward on the ground, careful to avoid the places under the heaviest amount of fire. He grimaced as another Yakuza member cried out in pain. Spikes tear through flesh and bone with ease, brutal weapons.

The Akiyama propped himself against an upturned metal table, next to his krantt. Varhak, crazed in his bloodlust, squeezed the trigger of his stolen LMG into the fray. He bellowed deeply, laughing like a madkrogan. Unfortunately, he was also a very blind madkrogan. "Get down you fool!" Banha pulled the 8 foot krogan down, a grenade flying over their heads, exploding when it hit the ground.

"It's like Omega all over again, eh Ban?" The Akiyama heir grunted in response, ducking once more as a spike burst through the metal table, next to his head. He risked a peek outside. The glass front of the bottom apartment floor was shattered, four black vehicles parked outside. The Terran spies were risking a lot by shooting up a Yakuza base-of-operations on the middle of the day. They were armed with a mixture of C-14's and M8's, armoured in sleek Terminus armour.

As Banha thought up of plans and strategies to get the fuck out of there, an ethereal faint mist started to wrap around the building, a sickly green in colour. But, to the ignorant main character of our story, that doesn't really matter. He nudged the krogan next to him. "Var, where's Sivius and Hidan?"

The Krogan pointed to the far corner, a couch potted with holes smoked. He called out and a moment later, a Turian and a Human ran out of cover, the latter laughing his head off. They dived for the cover next to them, the former clutching a new Vanquisher shotgun, barrel smoking and a mechanical whine escaping the gun. Sivius nodded to them, one hand saluting while the other muffled Hidan's laughing.

"Are we the only ones left?" The former asked, mandibles spreading in worry. Varhak nodded grimly, bloodlust fading. Sivius's face was set in determination, "How do we get rid of these bastards?"

---

Moments Later...

"3....." Banha clutched the rifle tightly, finger lightly squeezing the metal trigger. "2....." Varhak gripped on the grenade, ready to prime it in a moment's notice. "1....." Hidan grinned, activating his Omni-Shinken. "NOW!"

Their timing was perfect, they popped out of cover and started to fire everything they had at the enemy, right when they were reloading. Imagine there surprise when four of the cars were blown up in a fiery explosion. They looked at each other with a pointed look, a "did you do that?" look plastered on their face. A few seconds later, Yakuza started pouring into the house. They crashed into the building in a old, stolen Mako tank, painted black and red in their gang's colours.

One lieutenant, a Salarian with a headband with the kanji for "81" on it, came up to them. "Are you all right sirs?" He asked in his race's signature fast speech. Banha looked at him with a sarcastic look and was about to respond with a smarmy comment but then.....

BOOM!

---

Time Square, New York, Arcadia-1

They landed in a loud, deafening crash, everyone knocked unconscious during the "Dragging" process. Groans erupted like an old man choir group, Yakuza picking themselves up from the ground. A very loud, and possibly high, Human stated what everyone was thinking "Where the fuck are we?"

Banha struggled to get up, using his C-14 to prop himself up. Trying to look as cool as he could in front of his troops, he grabbed a cigarette and lit it up with his omni-tool. He swung his C-14 over his shoulder, sticking it on his mag clamp. He drew his Saber before addressing the group before him.

"Yakuza! What do we do best in these types of situations?" He bellowed loudly over the mumbling crowd.

"Um, snort Red Sand?" The offending Human, the one from earlier, was nudged by his Elcor friend. By nudge, meaning that he was flung into the building next to him. Banha rolled his eyes before choosing another person, someone less high than the last.

"Adapt, sir!" The excitable Asari offered, swinging her pistol around. The Batarian calmed her down with a motion of his hand before nodding grimly. "Yes, that's right! We have no idea where the fuck we are" a small yell of 'I called it' escaped from the building next to them "but we will adapt! Regroup, find your gear, and we'll find refuge in this damn, ancestor-forsaken hellhole!" The Yakuza all roared before going to work, a team of people trying to push the overturned Mako upright.

Banha smiled. 'Now, what can go wrong?"

[Absolis]

Saber Rivard

@savato@flamelord
Well. That was embarrasing. Knocked out by one projectile. Saber was just beginning to regain conciousness when he found himself lifted into the air, and then dropped. Regardless of how healthy that was for his bones, it did the job of waking him up the rest of the way. And in making him rather sore. Of course the ethereal would say something

"No, I suppose not. Considering that my transporter got snatched."

Saber wiped away the dust from his glasses, and ran his hand through his hair to knock the rest of the dust off. Suffice to say, dusty hair is simply no good and can lead to headaches. It was then that Saber would notice he had a couple of drops of blood on him. No doubt from the gush of blood that the beserker made. Though he wouldn't know that part exactly. It wasn't much, but it was still disgusting. And on top of that he still had no idea where he was. So supposedly, he really had no choice in this matter.

"Fine. So, where are we going then?"

~-----~

Absolis Rivard

@Gummi bunnies

Absolis was using one of Ikas tentacles to wipe at her head, hoping to wake her up. It was then that Ika would mutter something to something only she could see. Though it was completely unintelligible. It seems the wave had affected her badly. No doubt she would be out for a very long while.

~-----~

Cyano Conablum

@savato@hamstrong@mtntopview

What? Again? It seems the ethereal hadn't been watching her right then. Of course. So now she just looked crazy. Well, she wasn't saying that mouthful again. Though she would summarize what she had said before

"Ok. We have one dead or disabled giant robot here ready to be taken in, reprogrammed, dismantled, whatever. There's some kind of palace nearby. I'm not going in there, something crazy is going on over there. The creature went in, and all of a sudden giggles and sparkles could be heard for miles around. So no thanks."

Now that that was done, perhaps Cyano could finally get some peace for a little bit. She had just killed a fire breathing, shape shifting, dino bot. No doubt she deserved a breather, even if she didn't actually need it. She could be off somewhere else by now. Doing something else, furthering her goals. But meh. She lacked the motivation. So for now a quick nap was warranted. Before that however, she would ask Sam to do something

"Hey, watch the robot. Wake me if it moves or anything, or if the big stick moves us around. I don't want to miss anything"

And with that, she would lean back against the wall, close her eyes, and allow herself a bit of rest. That being said she was still fully aware of the world around her. So if something were to try and attack her, they would be in for a big surprise.

Kolon

@thewizardguy

Kolon held his thumbs up, up until he noticed that Apocalypses head had fallen off. This would be enough to worry kolon. Kolon rushed over to Apocalypses body, picked up his head, and set it on the creatures body. Kolon would then begin pulling out a number of tools. Among them was a pair of needles. They were sharp enough that they would cut through even apocalypse like butter, though they were very small. Kolon took a bit of fur from himself, and used the needles to implant the fur into apocalypse. T was a gift from kolon. The fur wouldn't do much to apocalypse. Besides making him a little bit nicer. To kolon at least. To others he would probably still Rio them to shreds. After that, he would begin sewing up Apocalypses other wounds. Accelerating his already impressive healing rate. It wouldn't take kolon very long. But apocalypse would have to finish the healing himself.

Kolon stood up, and noticed all of the abandoned creatures. All of them looked so sad to kolon. And kolon just couldn't stand to see them so unhappy. And then kolon got an incredible idea! Kolon took out more of his kolon grenades, and tossed them around. There were only ten of them, two kaiju, two goombas, two paragoombas, two koopas, and two paratroopas. As each one went off, they would change into more kolons. The goombas and koopas would change into normal kolons, the ones with wings would turn into winged kolons, and the kaijus would turn into slightly larger kolons. All of them were essentially children, and would be very loyal to kolon. And being that they had nothing else to do, they would all go for a nice game of tag while Kolon waited for apocalypse to wake up

Alliance Of Conquerers - Arcadia-1
Location: Los Angeles - Downtown District

The portal opens up to the city of Los Angeles, once the most popular cities on the west coast. Like New York, it too was abandoned, yet strangely much more lush considering it was built on top of a desert. It was also night time there. The Alliance and its troops quickly came out of the portal, all being unaware that Starscream came in with them. Yet even that didn't matter. They were finally in an area far from the chaos that plagued the previous city. As the troops began to scout the local region and the portal closes, the commanders looked at their surroundings.

"Ultron." asks Ghidorah-San, "Where've we landed?"

"In Los Angeles." the robot as he looks around, "On the opposite coast of New York. We're safe from any potential threats."

"*Sigh* Good." she replies exhaustingly, "I'm already sick of the Bad Apple now..."

As they began to relax for a minute, the sith lord approaches the kaiju-hybrid, his breathing being the only sound heard around his location.

"What about that base builder you have on you?" he mentions to her, "Perhaps you should use it here?"

"Not now..." she answers while catching her breath, "We need to scout the area first, though we should wait till daylight to do that."

Starkiller nods silently as he goes to inspect his troops. Finally they were safe from the hostilities for now...

Until he hears the cries coming from three of his troops. They were screaming... not just in terror, but also in pain. Wondering what was going on, he quickly approaches the 3 stormtroopers and with a sudden slash, he sliced their heads with his lightsaber. As the bodies fall down, so did the helmets as they clunk on the ground. The commanders were dead silent, wondering what has gotten into him.

"Uhhhh... why did you attack your own men?" Bowser asks in total shock.

The sith lord then force lifts the helmets up, and out from them were the heads of the stormtroopers. However, they weren't the heads of humans... they were the heads of furry creatures, all three looking identical in shape, size and colors. Starkiller would look over one of the heads and smash it with his boot, crushing it into a gory mess, with the other commanders silent in shock.

"These troops have no value to me now..." Starkiller announces ominously, "I figured one of those weird... detonators hit them. And this time... they transform into these... things."

He then silently walks back to where he previously sat, his anger already flowing through his veins. The others were just dead silent as they began to be quiet for the meantime.

Gojira-San & Ryu - Acadia-2

Eastgate City - North Entrance

After a small hike though the wheat field, they finally reached the North Entrance of the city, with a large floating sign saying simply:

WELCOME TO EASTGATE

Finally they've reached civilization and what they saw inside was truly breathtaking. Huge towering skyscrapers can be seen piercing the skies, with fast flying cars zipping overhead, people walking and talking beside friendly robots, it was like someone took a literal dip into a bright future! It was also very green with lots of trees and other foliage, along with plenty of water supporting them, despite it being odd in the middle of nowhere. Tram rails are also seen above along with winding roads and sculptures, even a waterfall can be seen in the distance.

"Woah." Ryu breathes as he looks around, "Big place. Beautiful may I add."

"I agree." Gojira-San answers back, "The architecture is fascinating too."

Ryu would then turn around to see the rest of the others behind him, probably also admiring the whole place.

"Alright." he announces, "We're finally here. Let's split up and have look around this place. It appears to be around noon... so we'll meet back here at around 6 and maybe find a place to hunker down."

He then spots a pole that has a little cubby for maps. He takes as much as he can and hands it out to the others.

"Use these maps to get around." he then says, "Hopefully there should some multiversal ATM machines around here, so you can exchange any money you have for its currency."

Back in his world, it was often for Ryu to find such machines so he can trade his yen, to dollars, to euro, and vice versa. Hopefully this place is advanced enough to have machines that can relate to the multiverse.

"Now split up." Gojira-San announces one final time, "Get into groups. If any of you wants to join either us, we'll take 2 - 3 at most."

Team Ryu and Team Gojira. These are two teams that they can join, as well as make their own groups if they want. They must stick together though, or they will certainly get lost. The choice is now up to them...

@Flamelord@Savato

Biollante-San

"Will that be all?"

Biollante nods silently.

"Indeed. Now I shall say my farewells. Expect a call soon enough..."

And then, she dissipates into yellow spores and leaves the area. Just after leaving, she gets a call from Uber Ethereal via her inner comn-piece.

'Conablum. Rodriguez. Biollante. Report. Once operations are complete, the checkpoint we have indicated in your receivers will be our meeting grounds. The final step before retreat must occur.'

"Copy that. Operation: Goa'uld, has been a success. Contact information being directed to you now..."

And with that, the contact info has been turned over to Ethereal as she approaches the location provided into her head.

Light - Arcadia 2

Light looked at the cat named Shin with a mix of puzzlement and annoyance. "You do know we're in a wheat field right? You could always just eat that. I can only pull out so many things every once in a while." she said, showing that she was more annoyed with the cute act than enamored by it.

Once they reached the city, Ryu and Gojira being the first to enter it proper, Light scoped out the scenery with a whistle. "This should be fun! They should have some really good stuff here. Just don't get any authorities mad, Laser rifles hurt." Light said, eyeing an ice cream shop. Ryu acted like the leader of the group, handing everyone a map and telling them to get money from some interdimensional ATMs.

"Welp. No ice cream for me then. Unless I pull out some gold doubloons or something." She said, hanging her head. With that, she pulled out a couple objects. While the first two were nothing of note, the third and fourth made her pause. First a fancy looking sink, then a giant pack of instant noodles bigger than her.

"Well, haven't pulled this before. Who wanted it again?" she said, some passers by staring at the giant noodle packet. Light, a bit surprised at what she pulled, forgot about the ice cream. She was moderately entertained by what eventually happened with the noodles.

It was at this time Ryu and Gojira were starting to split up the group in order to explore the city. Light didn't take this very well, doing quick takes when deciding who to go with. With a shrug she decided to go with Ryu as he seemed to have a plan, plus he looked like he needed cheering up.
