Ika Musume

---

@Gummi Bunnies

Ika Musume made her way down the street, picking up debris that had been blown into the street by the wind. It seems here, even the wind didn't take care of its living area. Seeing as she didn't have a bag of any sort, Ika Musume just sort of pushed it to the side. In with all the other debris piles.

Suddenly, add would appear from a portal to the side. It seemed he had finished whatever he was doing and had decided to join Ika on her way to the palace she had been too. The company was definitely welcome.

"Oh, Hi, De geso! You can help me pick up all the trash on the way, De Geso"

[Flamelord]

Saten Ruiko/Ba'al/Teal'c, Nova's Palace, New York City, Arcadia-1

Ba'al nodded to one of his Jaffa, who moved to take hold of the sphere as Nova passed it over. It would need to be examined in detail to determine its composition, and whether or not he was simply providing an illusion, as well as how much it matched up to their own technologies. The promise of more was nice, but he would not be lured in so easily. "You have my thanks."

With the agreement, Ba'al was displeased to find himself ignored. He of course understood that the business of leadership was an occupying affair, being the leader of a galaxy spanning empire and all with subordinates whose politics were positively Machiavellian, but he could recognize a slight when it was directed his way. Yet he chose to ignore it for now. Obviously this 'God-Emperor' didn't realize whom he was dealing with, or seriously underestimated the force Ba'al could bring to bear. That was fine, since he had dealt with worse in his time.

For now he ignored it though, allowing Nova to converse with his young subordinate while he stood there. Really, considering that Nova was the one who had summoned him, he should be grateful that Ba'al was willing to be so patient. Many other Goa'uld would not have done the same.

Once he had finished, Ba'al would speak up once more. He had his own priorities, and he would not let them slip. "You seem awfully confident for someone whose base was all but wiped out barely two days ago," he noted aloud. Sure, he had rebuilt it, but could it withstand another assault? Appearance was another thing entirely from reality, and he knew that much.

Meanwhile, Ruiko listened eagerly as Nova relayed what he wanted her to so. It was interesting, she would admit. She had never been a diplomat before, so serving as a representative to this Conablum Labs would be a novel experience. Admittedly she might not be the most intimidating, but that was because they hadn't seen what she could do. Once they did, she was sure that they would take her more seriously.

"Alright," she replied with an eager nod. "Just leave it to me." Of course, she was hardly expecting the gift she got, and Ruiko gingerly took the crystal as Nova informed her of its power. She would admit that it was more than a bit intimidating, but if it could do that then she would have nothing to worry about. "I'll be careful."

As Ba'al watched the others that entered, Ruiko rose from her seat as Banha approached. "Don't worry, I'm ready to go," she informed them, looking to Nova. "Well, we'll be on our way then." This was going to be interesting, that was for sure.

Ahsoka Tano, Eastgate City, Arcadia-2

Ahsoka watched as Light took off to go intervene in the fight, not exactly worried after what she had seen of her durability before. It provided a nice distraction as she waited for an answer, even if it was strange. She wouldn't complain about it though, not at the moment.

Then the answer came, Ahsoka looking at Bambietta with some skepticism on her part. Not that she didn't trust her to some extent, but given that she also appeared to be from Arcadia, yet hadn't been at Nova's palace, she wouldn't immediately leap to conclusions. Especially with something as improbable as Nova's survival, given the situation they had left him in. "Really? Do you have any proof of that?"

[Lmpkio]

@Gummi Bunnies@Mr_pink

Team Ryu

"Cocky is my middle name, my man, it's how I've survived this long" Jojo says gleefully.

Ryu nods while slightly rolling his eyes. Alas they then arrive at the concluding battle, where things aren't what they seem...

Alliance Of Conquerers - Arcadia-1

As Starkiller continues walking, he takes barely any notice of whats happening above. He can't be interrupted like a fool as he locks him up in his cell, with his stormtroopers already leaving him with the prisoner. Then Mithias uttered his name.

"Starkiller."

Considering that he didn't tell his name to him, or that anyone around him said said name, the sith lord was slightly taken back. However, he was quick to realize that he must have the form of telepathy, like Palpatine has. Though it seemed quite weaker then his master's.

"I can help you defend your base. I know you don't trust me yet, but consider that you have something I want. We can strike a deal. Release me to assist you, and in return, all I ask is that you put me on a ship. I am far more capable than you realize, and you've already shown that you can catch me and kill me should I try to doublecross you."

Starkiller pauses like a statue as he thinks as if he should trust him or not. After all, he hasn't harmed anyone... yet. And he does have a point. The sith was much stronger then this... supernatural?

We could become allies, or we could become enemies. Either path begins here."

A few more seconds pass... and then the prison cell opens, closing off the force field and unlocking the bars. Another silent pause with the sith's breathing filling the air.

"Do not make me regret this decision." he then answers as he leads him to the hanger bay.

His own sith telepathy states that he is innocent. However, he must still be on high guard, for there's a possibility that he can be deceived.

@dirty slime

Gojira-San & Biollante-San

All Gojira-San did was sigh and shake her head when Light joined the fray. Suddenly, he sees what appears to be a 2 giant candy worms flying towards them. As one of them approached her, she quickly unleashes her atomic breath, burning it into nothingness. She was then going to fire it at Megalon's face as well until suddenly something appeared to grab him. What the hell was going on??? All she wanted to do was just fight him one on one, but now everyone is getting a piece of the action. She did not need this confusion in her battle! Yet even as the beetle was trapped, he laughed manically regardless.

"You know, it's really funny... I came here, to this disgusting world in order to get my well-deserved revenge; but after seeing what you've been reduced to, 'God'-zilla. For the first time in well... A long time, I don't feel like beating you to death just by looking at you, you're far too pitiful for such an honor now. I think I'll just leave you here... Stewing in your own inferiority alongside all these degenerates while I go do some productive things with what will be a very long and fruitful second life, starting now."

Gojira-San just growls as her fists begin to tighten and her eyes begin to glow with rage.

"You were always a crazed psychopath Megalon. Did your 'people' of Seatopia drive you mad? They treat you like a god, which in fact you are not! You are nothing but a mistake of nature! Just like me and the rest! Yet I use these powers for the goodness of others, while you use them for greed and corruption. And I will destroy you and the like with my bare hands!"

Yet it appears something else arrived towards the Beetle. A malevolent black and red cloud of electronic smog with a pair of glowing red eyes floating inside the maelstrom that emerged from an ugly, misshapen portal that looked more like a terrible wound in the fabric of time and space than anything else. This vibe was strangely reminiscent to SpaceGojira-San power via energy crystals. Yet this was not her... this was something else. She needs to end this quick. With a powerful roar, she runs towards Megalon as she attempts to rip him limb from limb. But before she could reach him, he and the fog vanished. All she caught, was nothing more but air. Her breathing tightens as she issues an angering roar, one so loud that its echo can be heard a mile away.

She looks at the others who presumably helped her, only to realize that they did nothing more but let her escape. She could've killed him if it weren't for them! Yet Light speaks up to her.

"So, you won. And the poor guy was so broken he started laughing as he was eaten by a fart cloud! Poor guy."

But her response would be... disappointing.

"Won..." the hybrid answers sarcastically, "No I didn't WIN. He got AWAY. I would've killed him if you guys didn't INTERVENE! I told you specifically to stay away and you didn't, having others follow and letting him escape! WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?!"

This was followed by Simon's response.

"Well that was an odd thing that just happened. But I kicked total ass with those gummy worms and another minute I would have had that bug bowing at my feet! Gojira-San you should take some tips from me and I'll show you how to take down all of these giant bullies"

Oh Simon... that last sentence was easily breaking rule number one in Gojira-San's book. NEVER mock her in any way or form. That sentence was a mortal insult to her. Her aura would begin to release dark signs as she quickly swipes some destroyed cars towards Simon's direction. She was trying to keep her anger down, but regardless she wouldn't take that comment lightly.

Then, since she couldn't find anymore words or actions to fit her anger and not wanting to hurt her anymore, she produces a guttural "Ech" she stomps out of the battlefield and behind some tall skyscrapers, with her tail violently hitting the side of a building, causing some damage. It was there where she will slowly shrink back to her regular size and gets on her knees while huffing and puffing. She will let them go this time, but next time, if they intervene, she will show them no mercy...

Biollante-San on the other hand also shrinks back to her regular size as she holds her umbrella. This was quite a pathetic fight to partake in, yet it will certainly not be her last. It was quite amusing to see Gojira-San in a pussy-fit, yet it was a grim reminder to how dark and ruthless she can be in battle. She then approaches Bambietta and nudges her on what they should do now.

@Mr_pink
As Gojira-San transforms back to her own size, she would finally be approached by Ryu and Jojo. The former quickly runs up to her and helps her back to her feet.

"Gojira." he then says, "Are you alright?"

She replies with a snort.

"I'm OK." she replies as she stands on her own and looks back, "The enemy got away... and he wouldn't have if it weren't for the others intervening."

"I take it they were trying to help you?" Ryu responds.

"I KNO- know that..." she pauses, realizing she was raising her voice and calms down, "But I didn't need their help..."

"And where are they?" the champion then asks.

"Around the corner..." she simply growls.

[Gummi Bunnies]

Arcadia-1
~Diabolic Esper~

"... alright then."

With a bored look on his face along with the fact that his Configuration Mode was disabled for now, Add simply blasted the articles of debri with the energy from his Dynamos. By being put into contact with such blasts, the debri and trash was reduced to nothing else but dust... However, he was curious to know what was the girl's plans for going this way...

"Ika... care to fill in to your ally on your progress that has been done? Or perhaps inform me on our destination?"

@Absolis

Arcadia-2
~Lapis Lazuli & Kazuya Mineshigi~

"... so things aren't going so well... huh?"

Lapis narrowed her eyes once they happened to stumble upon the aftermath of a fight. Well... when they thought they were going to get a break here...



For a moment, Abel was thinking over on what to do, idly looking over his COMP. Though, seeing that the enemy had gotten away by the time they got there, he put the processing device away for now.

@Lmpkio@Mr_pink

[Mtntopview]

Shockwave:

@Archmage MC

If Shockwave had a face, he would have frowned. While the absence of the anomaly that had confronted him earlier allowed him to conduct tests in peace, he found it odd that it was taking so long for it to contact it's allies. Perhaps there was some unforeseen delay? Perhaps it finally met it's end. Regardless, he did not find the prospect of being forgotten to be acceptable.

The entity would be difficult to track, it's lack of energy making it hardly traceable. Although from when he remembered being in it's presence, it seemed to almost be surrounded by a void of energy. While difficult to track, it would be possibly to zero in on objects with a similar presence to the one that called itself Light.

Having to cease experimentation on his Space Bridge, he focused instead on creating a powerful enough sensor to detect the anomaly. For all he knew it could be on the other side of the planet. For this reason he found himself missing Soundwave. While he held no particularly strong loyalties to the Decepticons, he did admit to the usefulness of the Decepticon spymasters sensors. That faceless bot could track anything within the local system should he need to. However, reminiscing was illogical. Focusing on the past was energy that could be spent on progressing towards the future.

After scrounging together spare parts from the mess around his workshop, he got to work on creating his sensor. It wasn't too difficult, seeing as how his plan was nothing more than a modified Energon detector. He had considerable expertise in creating those tools, especially in the final days of the Great War as Energon became an increasingly scarce resource. His creation took little more than a few cycles to scrounge together.

The device was comprised of a black box with a screen connected to it, one that provided power and all of the other mechanical requirements for the device. A smaller handheld tracker was attached to the box by a cord. Taking the device, he handed it to one of his Insecticon minions.

"Locate the anomaly. The tracker works the same way as the one's you should be used to."

The Insecticon nodded before turning around and leaving. It was joined by it's brother as it transformed and left the sewer base. As they left, he returned his focus to the Space Bridge. While it could reach the critical levels that transported him to the new world, he could not control where it sent the travelers, nor could he maintain it enough to retain a stable connection. These were significant problems that needed immediate addressing.

[Weird Tales]

"JESUS!" Simon yelled as he quickly formed a wall of hard sugar in front of him to block the wrecked cars thrown at him and he was glad that the wall stood up to the barrage of burning metal. This Gojira-San was clearly insane and he would have to watch his back around her if she was this easy to make violent. He let the wall of sugar disappear and he took a few steps away from the burning car parts.

"I think you might want to cut back on the sour candy for a while, oh yeah and also for the love of God please see see a counselor" he said with a nervous smile. His humor had gotten the better of him and Simon had tendency to make jokes when he was nervous or in a serious or dangerous situation. He then made a snickers bar appear in his hand and he held it out for her to take it.

"Here eat a snickers" he said casually.

@Lmpkio

[Wraithblade6]

@Lmpkio

Mithias nodded and follows Starkiller back through the base. Upon returning to the others, Mithias meets their questioning looks with an answer, "We've made an agreement." He told them, so as to not get re-arrested and possibly killed by the group he had agreed to help.

Keith, Satsuki, Gigan, Koopa, and whoeverelse was there... Mithias blinked. "Are we still under attack?"

[Absolis]

Cyano Conablum

@savato

Cyano plugged the tool she had into the destroyed ultrons head. Most of the data was corrupted, but she managed to get a few things out. Namely, the leader of the conquerors, and one of their little soldiers. Someone called dark samus. Cyano quickly pulled the data up on the screen and showed it to eto.

"Here, already done"

[Absolis]

Ika Musume

---

@Gummi Bunnies

Ika Musume was again impressed by just how quickly Add managed to clean up the litter! He was going to be a very useful conpatriot in her quest for subjugation of the littering humans! Of course, then Add asked about where she was going.

"I'm going to the golden person, De geso! He said he's going to help rid the world of pollution, even chizuru won't be able to stand to our power, De geso!"

A purple aura of sneakiness surrounded Ika Musume for a moment as she filled her head with evil thoughts, like eating the shrimp off of other people's plates... on purpose!!!

[Absolis]

Timeskip!!!

Intense battles! Heartbreaking betrayals! Kolons! Science! Explosions!

Quite the intense time the resident multiversers have had! Let's summarize for the viewers.

To start with, Novas back and already consolidating his powers. His original allies may be lost in the multiverse, but he's already built up an impressive army. The Rivard siblings, a buffed up ruiko, a team of ultra genius cat things, chibi lizards, and even the space yakuza!

Space yakuza?

Yeah, space yakuza. Guess you can find anything in the multiverse.

But that's not all, the Kolons completed novas famous "golden throne"... though not without a few changes.

Like chibi lizards.

When you bring up one thing it does sound kind of stupid.

Anyways!!!

Meanwhile, the alliance of conquerors also build up their forces, though not without troubles. After one short lived victory, they can't seem to get a break. Spys, digimon, ghoul curbstompings! It's a good thing they are gaining allies just as fast as they make enemies.

What about ultron? Didn't they lose him?

Nah, they lost his main body, but his mind escaped in some drone. He's fine.

Ah.

Yes, by the dark outliners!

Ooh, tell me about them!

After meeting with nova, the dark outliners managed to get the arcadia-2 terminal, and reverse engineered it to give them access to far more universes then before!

Wow! That's quite a feat!

And they used it to send two teams, one to arcadia-2, and one to cybertron.

On cybertron, Cyano conablum, grimlock, and Eto managed to curbstomp ultron and his army of ultron drones, but weren't able to capture him nor starscream. The latter of which cowardly hid behind some debris, only coming out after the battle was lost to take a cheap shot.

Which failed, right?

Humiliatingly miserably.

What about arcadia-2?

Arcadia-2!

After the defeat of nova by the alliance, his old allies got thrown to the multiverse, and ended up in arcadia-2, a seemingly normal world set before whatever happened to make arcadia-1 a wasteland. There, they met several new allies, including a living cartoon.

The group split in two, and spent the night in a motel. Ryu somehow ended up alone, while gojira ended up with a number of friends.

Meanwhile, the dark outliners team showed up! After a quick bit of trouble with a locater, they found the group, who were busy watching a live action godzilla movie.

While godzilla and megalon fought, light continued to order and eat pancakes, while biollante, bambietta, and Kolon made contact with them to recruit them to the dark outliners.

Very shortly, Biollante joined the main battle, forcing megalon to retreat! Gojira was upset by this, but all in all it didn't mean much. Ryu rejoined, and everything was fine.

Wait, normal? Arcadia-2 sounds insane? All those crazy looking people walking around and no national guard? Kaijus fighting and pancakes get served?

Plot!

Meanwhile other fleets were forgotten about.

The goa'uld had an uneventful meeting with Nova, before nova sent absolis, Ruiko, and Banha on a mission to meet with the dark outliners.

And the inkvasion group ate shrimp, played computer games, then decided to go on a walk.

This is too much!

I know right. It's insane!

Will novas allies regroup?

Will the alliance of conquerors ever get a break?

Will the fleets floating in arcadia-2 ever be noticed!?!

Find out next time on mu-*muffled screaming, followed by the zip of a burlap sack and the sound of dragging and a door slamming*

[mattmanganon]

As the bombed out ruins of the Statue of Liberty smouldered as they had for countless others. The heavens opened, a chorus of angels sang out as, in a flash of light intense light, the man appeared. Stood in bright silver clothing, a set of sunglasses on his face as his perfect brown locks fluttered in the wind. He looked around the bombed out city. "What the hell?" He took his radio out and held it to his lips "Ace to ship, come in ship." he said into it. After a few seconds he pocketed the device again "Wherever I am, she can't hear me, the poor dear is usually tripping over herself to listen to me talk." he sighed. He looked around "Looks like this is a universe where ol' green and blue bought the big one." he sighed. "When will people learn." he shook his head. Although he was rather curious as to how he had actually arrived, his ship hadn't made a jump... He began to walk towards the ruined statue, try to get up high to see if he could get his barings on the landscape.

[Wraithblade6]

Mithias walked around the Alliance base, investigating, reading the surface thoughts of those around him. He stopped when he saw Keith. This man was hiding something... in fact, it seemed the truth was that he was no 'man' at all, but something else, something rather long lived. Clearly, Mithias could perceive he was hiding something, but that wasn't all that uncommon for complicated beings. If only his psyonic abilities weren't so naive, then he would have been able to tell more about a person. He nodded as Keith caught him looking at him, but said nothing to reveal what he already knew.

[Gummi Bunnies]

Arcadia-1
~Diabolic Esper~

"Uh huh..."

Add was somewhat confused by what his squid-like companion had said. It was like some sort of idiot response he would get from Elsword, but that wasn't important right now. If Ika was percise with her wording and that this person they were looking for was mighty powerful like she says... who's to say that he could work this to his advantage... somehow?

An evident smirk appeared on his face nevertheless...



"Continue leading the way then... Ika... I would like to meet this person face to face... Kukukuk..."

@Absolis

[SgtEasy]

Banha Akiyama

Conablum Labs

@Flamelord @Absolis

---

Banha stared blankly at the swirly, purple portal of death before taking a look at Ruiko. "Uh, are you sure this is the portal we take?" He questioned, voice contorted by the speakers of his helmet. His Terminus armour was now reinforced by some new alloys and he was given what was called an in built "bolter". Having no idea what that even meant or if it was a weapon, he took the armour with care and gave his R&D department a thanks. Now, his armour looked even more ridiculous and bulky, a jet black suit with a red dragon running from his right leg to his head. The "bolter" was on his left gauntlet, paralleling his Omni-tool on the right. Making sure to arm himself to the teeth, he gathered all of his weapons and reinforced his kinetic barrier with a biotic reactor. This made him extremely heavy, not that he noticed it.

The Supreme Grand Leader that all security would be on lockdown while he was gone, no one without clearance from Nova or any of his compatriots will not be let in. Four patrols consisting of three Combat Specialists, five Biotic Specialists, ten Initiates and either two Elcors or a Mako are going around the perimeter and the surrounding area. One gunships have been deployed, exploring New York for any potential hostiles while the other is circling around the perimeter of the base. The kolons.... They just did whatever they did. Everything would be safe while he was away?

The Akiyama shrugged, lifting his C-14 with ease and stepped into the portal. Expecting to be twisting and turning into a spiral void before eventually reaching his destination. And so he was very surprised when he arrived at Conablum Labs, denting the metal as he stepped forward. Blinking, he put his weapon down so he wouldn't appear hostile to potential enemies. He gave a universal "I come in peace sign", letting Ruiko and Rivard step out from the portal behind him. He let the diplomat take the stage.

[Absolis]

Keith

---

With the Digimon gone, and gigan having fought off whatever the Digimon had done, Keith showed himself once again. He had explained where he had been and what he had been doing, battling the digimin. And now simply stood in a corner. Out of the corner of his eye he caught Mithias staring at him, followed by the sensation of his thoughts being read. Try as the man might, he wouldn't get much from Keith's mind. However, it wasn't a very comfortable feeling nonetheless, so he let himself melt into the shadow of the corner.

---

Absolis

---

Absolis stood before the portal that Nova had opened before he had gone away to do whatever business god emperors do. It was an odd thing, much cruder then the one Kolon had made. Though through it he could see a distorted version of his home universe.

He followed behind banha, and the two found themselves just outside the gates of conablum labs. Banha quickly put his weapon down and flashed some kind of symbol. Absolis quickly smacked his hand down and gave him back his weapon. A peace symbol would more then likely earn them a very unfriendly welcome with Cyano.

"Keep ahold of that weapon. Unless you want one of the guards to put a shot through you."

---

Cyano Conablum

---

Cyano put her feet up on her desk. She had finally made it home, so perhaps now she could get a break. The scientists were prepping the captured Ultron A.I. for torture, the outliners had their Ultron head, grimlock was contained, though not in a way that would feel too restricting to him, and the cat wasn't back. Everything was going good... and then the alarm went off. It was quiet, so as not to alarm everyone else, but loud enough for Cyano to hear. Someone had arrived at the gate that wasn't supposed to be here.

Cyano sighed and picked up a microphone connected to the intercom. This particular one was linked to the area Eto was in, and maybe the ethereal, but she wasn't keeping track of him right now.

"Hey! Someone check the gate. If it's food, I want it. If someone tripped it by accident, do what you want with them. If someone's here to see me, do what you want with them"

Hitomi Hisako
Universe: Arcadia-2
Location: A few kilometers east of Eastgate city in a wheat field

Hitomi had just woken up, groggy and suffering from a major hangover headache from the night before. She was in fox form, one of her more comfortable forms, when she hesitantly opened her eyes. "Uggghhhhhh... why did I drink so much saki last night?..." she moaned. While initially slow to the realization, her senses slowly returning to her, she found that was she was sleeping in a small hole in the ground, curious as the last thing she remembered before she blacked out was sleeping behind a bar on concrete, not dirt. Curious as to where she had spent her night unaware, she slowly crawled out of the fox hole to find herself... in a wheat field? In Tokyo!? Her sobering quickly intensified as she darted around her environs, wheat as far as the eye can see in one direction, and mountainous hills in the other. "What the hell's going on!?" she pondered. Where were the cherry blossoms and the forests? The unmistakable neon sparkle of Tokyo? No. She knew she wasn't in Tokyo anymore, hell, probably not anywhere in Japan at all! This world was so foreign to this fox spirit, so strange and bizarre. There existed flora and landscapes unrecognizable to Hitomi. This fox knew of the vast powers of the kami, their ability to cause catastrophe one minute and restoration the next, but never has it took this form. "What did I drink last night!!?" she exclaimed. Terrible thoughts of isolation started to turn in her mind, but nevertheless she had to find the determination and confidence to assess her situation. It was then through a small cleared patch she saw something in the horizon... a city. Not just any city, but one of the grandest technological marvels she's ever seen! She knew the Japanese were the world leaders when it came to avant garde tech, but even that paled in comparison to this shining beacon of civilization! As if guided by intuition, her hunch told her that maybe somewhere in this city she would find the solution to her current conundrum, and on her fox feet ran towards it!

[Nightknight]

Hitomi Hisako
Location: Eastgate City Outskirts

Hitomi stops in wonder to gaze at the vast shiny metropolis before her. Spires of metal reached towards the heavens, contorting into geometries never thought possible. So grand was her awe that she almost lost focus as to why she was her (Though, come to think of it, she STILL doesn't know). She continued to walk the silver city streets, using her finely tuned nose to sniff out other signs of life, human or otherwise, while in the guise of a simple one-tailed fox. Using her shape-shifting powers, she molded her star orb into her body, adjusting her muscles and flesh as to make it comfortable to carry the orb within her, to keep her disguise up.

Note: The star orb is stored in her abdomen, and therefore not visible.

[Nightknight]

Hitomi Hisako
Location: Middle of Eastgate City

Hitomi wondered through the vast city streets, but found it eerily devoid of residents. It was then then that she picked up the scent of food. It was then that her brain relayed to her that she was hungry. Across the street from her was a diner which, much to her surprise, echoed some sort of activity. Knowing she was no longer alone in the city. Hesitant to approach but knowing that she must eat, she slowly walked towards the diner to scope out the activity.

[Flamelord]

Ba'al and Teal'c, Ha'tak, Over the continental USA, Arcadia-1

The conversation with Nova had gone relatively well, as far as Ba'al was concerned. Of course he appeared to be in a position of inferiority, but he had gotten a good read on the mans personality. That would help when he was planning, so that he could come up with a scheme to deal with him when the time came. For now Ba'al would play along, but he would not be in this position forever. that much he was sure of.

But once it had ended he hadn't returned home immediately. Instead he had ordered them off on a different course, heading off in America. He had his plans in place, and he wasn't yet ready to simply return home and make what preparations were needed to expand and conquer, whether it be this universe or another one.

Instead, he had set a course for the Alliance of Conquerors, his fleet still following and putting on quite the show of force as he made his way towards where they had reportedly set up shop. Nova did not dictate to Ba'al, and if Ba'al wished to talk to one of the other factions on this world then so be it. If Nova had a problem, he could destroy the Goa'uld fleet as he wished. But for now, nothing would stop the Supreme Commander.

From his seat, he nodded to Teal'c. "Hail the Alliance and let them know that we're coming, and that I would like to chat. I'd hate to cause a battle on accident."

"Yes Lord Ba'al," Teal'c replied, turning to the radio and doing just that. Well, they would see how the Alliance reacted to the offer, and the incoming fleet that accompanied it.

Saten Ruiko, Conablum Labs

With a wave back to Nova and a spring in her step, Ruiko would enter the portal along with the rest of her entourage. She had the crystal on hand, and she had mentally prepared herself for what she was about to do. She had never played diplomat before, and it would be an interesting experience to be sure. At least she had had the chance to practice with her powers, so she could defend herself if need be.

"Alright, let's go," she said to her companions with a grin, and Banha led the way as he moved through the portal. She did likewise, fighting through the strange feelings that accompanied the transport, before they found themselves in front of the labs. That had been odd, but bearable. Now it was time to do the job that they had come here to do.

She looked around as she stepped forward, confident in herself and the guys with her. "So, I guess this is the part where we knock and see who answers," she noted aloud as she advanced towards the facility, looking the gate over for a way to get past. Time to do this.

Ahsoka Tano, Eastgate City, Arcadia-2

Ahsoka sighed to herself as she explored, a hand resting near her hip as her gaze scanned the city. She was currently exploring the city, learning more about it and seeking some place that she could attain more information on this world, among other things.

The group had finally gotten the chance to settle down and relax and bit from their flight, and now that they had they could turn to important things. To Ahsoka, that meant figuring out how she had gotten here, how to get home, and how she might find Assaj again. She was sure that her companion was handling herself, to be fair, but the isolation was annoying. They worked much better as a pair.

Nothing to be seen for the moment, she turned a corner and headed down another street. Sooner or later she would find something interesting, and then they could start getting places.

Not too much was going down at the Alliance base for the moment. Things had quieted down, and Mithias had assisted with the cleanup.

"Put it right over there." One of the commander troopers said as Mithias directed a large piece of debri off the floor and out of the way with his telekinesis.

Mithias set it down as directed. The chunk of metal was heavy. his help really sped up reconstruction.

Then suddenly some lights or rings began going off, causing Mithias to look up curiously. "What's that?"

"Someone called Teal'c is calling."

He walked over curiously to listen.
