Nova looked up over the group gathered below. He had received no serious responses on his offer of interdimensional alliance. But then again, none of these individuals believed themselves qualified to represent their reality. But for now, they would form his tools in cleansing this world. He would have plenty of time to establish his base of operations, as he attempted to discover how to travel between dimensions. It was something he had never attempted, but his presence here proved that it must be possible. Either through his arcane prowess, or through his technological genius, he would forge a path back to Terra.
Of course, that was when the intruder entered the scene. The stranger emanated a powerful aura, and the God Emperor could sense he held some form of power. But like many of those present, his power was alien to the psyker. His name was Xellos, and he was servant to another he held in high regard. Even now Nova could sense the bonds between servant and master. But he was also able to tell that Xellos did not come with pure intentions, although his intentions were not destructive. "I have no time to deal with the trivialities, servant. If you are here on your master's business, then bide her to meet me in person. If you are here on business of your own, then mind that you keep your hands to yourself. I care not for trickery, nor deceit, and should you prove to be a nuisance I shall find no compunction with eliminating you from this world." It was perhaps an abrupt threat, but the Emperor had lived in a world of warfare and destruction. Any hint of possible hostility needed to be shut down immediately.
Furthermore, and perhaps more importantly, the malignant forces he had previously sensed remained on this world. An evil presence had engaged in combat in a different area of the city. However, the Emperor did not wish to intervene in person. In order to discover by what means he and his companions had been pulled into this world he would need absolute concentration. He would meditate on the matter from within the walls of his newly created palace, and discover how to forge a path back to his world. But he could tell that this presence was a threat, and would grow ever stronger with time. Evil could not be allowed to take root, lest it grow as a weed. Thus he reached the conclusion that he would need to take on the general's mantle, to guide his 'troops' into battle.
"My friends, I can sense an evil presence engaged in combat within this city. I cannot tell whether darkness or light shall prevail in this battle, but the life of an innocent being is at stake. Whilst I cannot personally intervene, I would ask that those of you willing to fight for a stranger's safety step forward. That we might save an individual, and prevent evil from taking root in this world." He looks over to Ryu, Gojira, Yoh, Kirby, Melting Point, Jolyne, Lapis Lazuli, Akina, and Wynn. "I am capable of transporting you to any location in this city, and to return you to this location at will. If you wish to assist this individual, I can grant you transportation to her location. Should you wish to have nothing to do with this, I can grant you safe haven within these walls, or transportation to any location you would prefer." He made his offer, already knowing how those present would react. After all, he was psychic.
