Über Ethereal

Impact Crater - Bern, Switzerland

---

Apocalypse's abilities were clear now, he had adaptive evolution powers. It would also be confirmed by his big mouth, which relieved the Ethereal in a sense. It meant he wouldn't be impossible to control unlike other overwhelmingly powerful entities they were forced to confront in the past. For now it has to stop Apocalypse in his tracks before he'd cause anymore chaos. Luckily the Mindfray had its effects, and though it diminished over time, it was admitted that he handled the whole ordeal in about a second, as such the Mindfray will still be warm in his mind. Especially when considering the Ethereal's Psionic capabilities.

As such when he'd peer over at the practically invisible Ethereal to his eyes, he would barely notice the dissolved shade of purple that would be shot at him at a speed that surpasses the weapons he had previously seen. Like Mindfray, it didn't do anything at first, but it was indeed Psi-Panic that was applied to it. Although it didn't cause any form of panic attacks on the victim, it did make them severely hallucinate for an extended period of time, making it a whole lot worse with the symptoms of Mindfray added to it. The notion of distance and size would be strongly distorted in the mind of the monster, to the point where the blurred silhouette of the Ethereal would be so enlarged he'd have a portion of the robe it was wearing covering his entire field of views.

Added to that would be his sense of orientation tampered. With the visions the corresponding sounds came to be. Minuscule peeps would be loud as ever while large explosions would be as shaking as a drop of water. He was slowed down, he was forcibly disoriented, and the little he could see was clouded. A small flash of light would glimmer at the corner of his eye as his body still regenerated. A Psi-lance was released from the tip of the Ethereal's finger as it pointed right at the monster. The instant that flash occurred, at a speed comparable to that of the mind attacks it had used, the lance was launched to pierce Apocalypse's chest. Needless to say that a lance with the power to mortally wound warriors wearing armor crafted from the Ethereal's very own alloy destined to craft its robust hips, it would easily cut in half the menace before it.

"Many anomalies of evolution have stepped in these desolate lands. None have proven worthy to dominate the many worlds, let alone The Envisioning One."

The alien overlord never budged from its position, standing at a stagnant 30 meters from the enemy. It didn't have anything to fear as the beast's performances were hindered enough for the Ethereal to easily land a terminating Psi-Lance with excellent accuracy.

"But The Envisioning One may satiate your tormenting thirst, Bestial One."

@Kael Taiyou
"Tch. The words of a coward, not willing to face the consequences of their actions." The Emperor narrowed his eyes, clearly disgusted by this offer. "I believe we have reached the limit of what we can do here. I will solve whatever problem caused us to be pulled here, and simultaneously I will address the issue you are too afraid to confront. I had hoped that out goals could coincide, but I have no time for those who would sit at the sidelines and watch as entire worlds are brought to ruin." The Emperor stood up in his shiny new suit of armour, and marched off of his throne. "Our conversation is over. Return to whatever dealings your organization performs, and I will personally engage the task at hand. Your representative is free to leave, or remain, as they wish."

The Emperor cast out his mind, and searched this world for some sort of interdimensional signature. He was able to quickly locate the nearby terminal, which was near several lifeforms. Pleasantly surprised, Nova noted Gojira-san and Yoh to be among them. He then opened a portal to their location, traveling through the Warp. There was no need to maintain a guard on the palace, as only a fool would attempt to take it. And he had no intention of seeing Akina out. Thus, he was free to personally investigate the Terminals.

The Emperor emerged from the Warp Portal into the gift shop, his large frame and divine aura instantly filling the place. He could sense that a terminal was located in this area, and he would use it to further his research into transdimensional travel. Of course, he could also sense that several new enemies had made themselves known near Starkiller. However, he was more interested in this new discovery, and he would deal with the enemies later on. After all, beings of their status were of little consequence to him. "Gojira, Yoh. Greetings once again. I believe there is some device in this area, which could hold the clue to interdimensional travel. I should ask how you were so quick to locate such an important artifact."

Apocalypse raised his head to confront the massive figure before him, roaring in annoyance. However, he was not a being for fear, and he could take down beings of such size with relative ease. However it already knew that his weakened state would make fighting hard, and his opponent's apparent psychic power would get in the way. He took a step, ready to make his assault, when a blast of psychic energy struck him from the front. He was pushed backwards, a lance of psionic energy striking him from the front, attempting to push it's way through his body. He growled, and as he stood once more a large wound could be seen in his chest. Apocalypse had no internal organs, however, being an almost solid block of matter. Not a single drop fell from his body, and his chest was already beginning to heal. The creature shot forward, strafing to avoid further hits, and closed the distance in a moment.

Apocalypse jumped up like a rocket, launching another titanic blow. His fist hit the creature right in the face with the power of a small nuclear missile, the mere shockwaves strong enough to shatter the creature's every bone. Or so he thought. For his fist merely struck the concrete walls of a skyscraper, even as it began to collapse under the force of the blow. His opponent seemed not to have moved, and yet he didn't seem to be able to find his balance, to find his aim.

Roaring, he shot from building to building, tearing down the area. He would reach the Ethereal eventually, by sheer virtue of running out of other shit to tear down as he began flattening the city block. However, the ethereal would have a massive advantage at the moment. The effects of the psionics would eventually work out, however, and Apocalypse was clearly not tiring. If this were turned into a war of attrition, it was clear that Apocalypse's adaptive capabilities would win it the day.

Yoh
Gift Shop, Grand Central Terminal

Right as Yoh jumped off of Gojira-san's back excitedly, about to walk over to a vending machine and get something neat, she realized that she did not actually have any money. Upon deducing that, without sufficient funds, purchasing something from a vending machine was impossible, Yoh pouted slightly and kicked the ground.

Within a few seconds though, she recovered from her momentary depression, eyes sparkling as she moved to start exploring the gift shop, only to pause again as the big man thing from earlier showed up again, and said something about intra-donut-ical travel. Yoh blinked twice as she looked up at the imposing figure, tilting her head to the side curiously as if her mind was running at full-tilt to cobble together some form of response.

"Um, hi Mr. Superpower Man! Sorry, I'm not really used to superpowers so I'm not really sure how this works, can you just show up anywhere? Like, could you just show up in someone's house without even knocking first? That sounds like it could be rude if you were a rude person, but this isn't someone's house, so I guess you're not a rude person. That's good! Oh, oh, can you teach me how to do your superpower stuff? It looks super cool! Eheheh, get it? Miss Gojira, get it? Superpowers? Super cool? They both start with super!"

After giggling to herself in satisfaction at her own brilliant wordplay, Yoh finally remembered that the Emperor had asked her a question. "Oh! So, I wanted to find a grilled cheese store, but I wasn't hungry, so Miss Gojira took me here, and then I walked over to that vending machine but I don't have any coins and it's rude to steal, so then I went to look around the gift shop for cool souvenirs, and then you came here, and now here we are! Cool, huh?"

After speaking, Yoh took a couple of steps back, warily looking over at Nova as she nudged Gojira-san slightly. "...psst, Miss Gojira." She said, speaking in a whispering tone, but not quieting her volume at all. "What's inter-donut-ical travel?"

Joylne Kujo

"Fuckin eh..." Joylne cheered for herself with a big grin on her face,The young woman kept her hold on Starkiller he wouldn't attack her team."Stay still fucker..." She grunted pulling out enough string form her stand to hold down Starkiller,She looked around seeing the half naked man fighting Ryu and wondered if she should throw Starkiller away and fight Kars.

Kars

Kars now moved towards Joylne and towards his comrade summoning a rat form his hand sending it towards Joylne,The rat now running towards Joylne getting up her pant leg causing her to let go of her strings off Starkiller trying to get the rat out of her pants.While she was doing this he flew over them sending a hamon attack hitting Joylne in the chest sending her backwards on her ass.

Gojira-San

Gojira-san smiles faintly as she sees Yoh looking around the store like a little child. I mean, she was a little child after all, so it was obvious. Yet she was happy for the girl and happy for herself for looking like a caring mother. After all, she took care of her daughter back in her universe, so all those happy nostalgic feeling began to flood through her mind. If only she can return to her universe and see how she's doing. As she was in her train of thoughts, Nova would come out via a portal to talk to she and Yoh.

"Gojira, Yoh. Greetings once again. I believe there is some device in this area, which could hold the clue to interdimensional travel. I should ask how you were so quick to locate such an important artifact."

"Um, hi Mr. Superpower Man! Sorry, I'm not really used to superpowers so I'm not really sure how this works, can you just show up anywhere? Like, could you just show up in someone's house without even knocking first? That sounds like it could be rude if you were a rude person, but this isn't someone's house, so I guess you're not a rude person. That's good! Oh, oh, can you teach me how to do your superpower stuff? It looks super cool! Eheheh, get it? Miss Gojira, get it? Superpowers? Super cool? They both start with super!"

Gojira-san seemed puzzled. No not at the fact that Yoh made that joke, but rather that there was such an artifact around this location, out of all places? She pats Yoh's head and looks at Nova.

"Oh! So, I wanted to find a grilled cheese store, but I wasn't hungry, so Miss Gojira took me here, and then I walked over to that vending machine but I don't have any coins and it's rude to steal, so then I went to look around the gift shop for cool souvenirs, and then you came here, and now here we are! Cool, huh?"

"Wait..." Gojira-san pauses suddenly as she speaks to Nova, "There's an interdimensional artifact around here? Sorry to push your buttons, but it appears we only arrived here to keep Miss Yoh entertained, not to find an artifact, let alone of that magnitude."

Then she can feel the pulling and tugging of the little girl below her. She looks down to see Yoh asking her a question.

"...psst, Miss Gojira." She said, speaking in a whispering tone, but not quieting her volume at all. "What's inter-donut-ical travel?"

"It's inter-dimension-al travel." Gojira-san corrects her, "You can travel, or go, from one universe to another."

Hopefully Yoh will understand what she meant.

THE ALLIANCE OF CONQUERERS

Including Ryu & Starkiller

"Citizens of this World!" announces leader Ghidorah-San grandly, "You are looking at the most dangerous and glorious of all the Multiversural alliances! We, THE ALLIANCE OF CONQUERERS, are taking control of this universe! Surrender and lay down your arms and you will not be harmed! Otherwise, we will take you all down by force!"

@Flamelord As Starkiller freezes at the site of this "Alliance" of theirs, he would suddenly hear the cry of the fallen jedi as she tosses a husk of rusty metal at the Sith. But before he could block it in time, it hit him completely off guard as he was sent flying backwards. He was able to quickly get the metal piece off him, but then sees the jedi pouncing on him as he blocks her attack with her saber.

"Your tenacity is admirable..." Starkiller will remark as he begins to go on his own offensive, "But pointless!"

But Ahsoka's attack on the sith only signaled one thing to the Alliance...

Time to attack!

Ghidorah-San laughs manically as she unleashes her own deadly barrage of yellow lightning towards her opponents, causing explosions after they hit the ground. However, this was a mean to intimidate her foes, as she doesn't want to kill them just yet. Rather to test how committed they are. At the same time, Ultron fires his red laser repulsers from his palms, and Bowser unleashing clusters of fireballs.

Ryu was terrified at the situation! They were outgunned by this new force, and if they stay, they will surely perish! With Kars battling other people, he quickly calls out to any of the good guys around.

"This battle is a lost cause!" he calls out as he begins to step back a few, "This is not our fight! Everyone fall back!"

[Kael Taiyou]

Imperial Palace (Akina and Midori)

"Sigh...Well, Akina, keep an eye on him just in case, i'll notify this to the higher ups and...'him'..." said Midori as the hologram dissapeared. Aparently annoyed when she said the word 'him' "She needs to chill down a bit." said Akina, looking at Nova, she wanted to say something, but decided to go at the Battle Location, she didn't use any portals, she just simply vanished using her speed.

Battle Location (Wynn)

@Lmpkio

"Tch, i hate backing out, but what about the woman we were trying to save?" She asked, as it looked like Ahsoka wouldn't stop fighting Starkiller. Wynn failed to notice a fireball coming at her direction in time, but she was able to brace herself for impact. The resulting explosion sent her flying at the direction of one of Ultron's beams. She closed her eyes, but noticed that the attack never came. "W-what?" She opened her eyes, noticing that Akina had saved her. "Kept you waiting huh?" said Akina with a big smile. "Y-You..." said Wynn, struggling to get up. "You guys leave this place, i'll make sure that girl will be safe." said Akina walking slowly at the Alliance's direction, wanting to make sure nobody would get left behind.

Joylne Kujo

"Shit what the fuck are these assholes?Yeah i don't want to die today..." Joylne looked around seeing the lightening around the group he wondered if she could escape in one piece.Slowly she got back on her feet wiping the dust form her knees seeing the rat coming out of her pant leg.Joyne was now trying to find a way out of their willing to follow her teamates a way to escape.

"So what's the plan Rōjin?" Joylne asked Ryu getting close to her and the group.

Kars

Kars watching what was going on looked onwards to the voice speaking,"How interesting" He said to himself with a smile on his face,His arms now folded but kept a watchful eye on the good guys in case they try to attack him.

~Lapis Lazuli~

Oh shit, yeah, I'm out of here...

She could tell that even her crystallized shots weren't going to do anything, especially when she didn't have the backup power of the Witch of Miracles with her at the moment. Sheathing her weapon for now, the bounty hunter began to sprint over to the others, hoping to catch up with them. Unfortunately for her, her timing wasn't exactly the greatest. Right as she stepped out, the barrage of attacks struck her from behind. To the amusement of the Alliance and to the horror of her comrades, the bounty hunter was clearly flung around like a useless ragdoll, the lightning numbing her basic senses, the flames threatening to burn away at her skin, and the beams wishing to tear through her flesh and bone.

Almost like an ironic dance, Lapis was going quite the distance in the air, and then falling with several thuds and rolls. The radiance of her vibrant blue disappeared from her hair bangs and her eyes, her eyes wide open and lifeless as her mask was possibly lost during the fiasco and mess of her own self...

Despite this, there were two places where a rushed crystallization took effect: surrounding her right thigh and small portions of her left cheek. It was only logical to assume that she was dead, however... if only they knew the secrets that she knew about herself...

They could drag her lifeless body around... or just leave her there. Whichever worked with them.

Ika Musume

Ika Musume quickly grabbed as many shrimp as her tentacles could hold. Which was a surprising amount. Ika Musume ran over to Add, while simultaneously stuffing half the shrimp in her mouth, and the other half into pockets on her dress(skin? Her clothes tan)She gulped down at least three pieces of the shrimp before speaking.

"I want to see, De geso! Where are we going to Inkvade next, De geso!

Ika Musume leaned over Add to get a good look at the radar. Not that she knew how to read it. Though she did learn quickly, and within just a few moments could tell what Add was talking about. Though she still did not know exactly where it was. That was up to Add to lead them there.

Let's go, ~De geso! Inkvading waits for no squid, De geso!"

Ika Musume eased straight for the exit, and gestured for Add and Cia to follow her. Whoever it was would bow down immediately as soon as they saw her intimidating Inkvader minions!

Cyano Conablum

Bern, Switzerland

Disorienting. Multiverse travel was, that is. Cyano stood for a few moments, and allowed herself some time to regain her composure. The multiverse transporter had latched onto a strong signal, which brought her here. Though the transporter itself didn't make the journey. From the looks of it, it was irreparably damaged. Looks like she would have to find another ride home. Not that it bothered Cyano. She wanted to take her time here and enjoy the sights. Speaking of which, she realized she hadn't yet gotten a look around the place. So, she had landed on a roof. That was a start. She scanned the skyline. The buildings weren't particularly tall. Though she could see a spire in the distance. The entire place seemed to be falling apart. And in the other direction she could just make out a rancid river, and a collapsed bridge. It was unlikely that anyone was living here. of course, the. She saw it. A pillar of smoke was rising into the sky near the spire. Clouds of dust hung over the area. It wasn't much to go on, perhaps just a recmelty crumbled building, ought it was still worth it to check it out.

Kirby

Kirby turned around for a moment realizing that one of his comrades had fallen. However Kirby didn't have time to check if they were alive or not. He ran towards Lapis and slid to a stop while inhaling her. She was put into his pocket dimension of a stomach where she would be safe so long as Kirby didn't perish. Kindle was in there too wondering if the girl was ok. Soon enough Kirby headed straight for the portal. Once out he spit the girl back out onto the floor. He then sat down trying to catch his breath from all the excitement. A star appeared above him and his power up disappeared. He looked back at the portal hoping the others would hurry up and get out already. Hopefully his dust cloud had allowed for the others to escape easily.


@Absolis@Gummi Bunnies
Cia
Cia looked at the radar as well, she knew what that was. "Kid you got no clue what real inkvading looks like." Cia said looking over at Ika. "Oh, I'm Cia by the way." Cia added realizing that she hadn't introduced herself to the others. "Don't think I ever got your names." Cia added as she followed Ika. Her gun still in hand, though she was considering switching out for her bucket at some point. The thrill of a slosher was like no else, but you had be fast enough to use it. As she thought more about meeting others she had to wonder if they were hostile or not. Hopefully they weren't octolings, those guys just ruined everything with their wars.

Über Ethereal

Impact Crater - Bern, Switzerland

---

The effects of both the Mindfray and Psi-Panic were bringing their fruits as the rabid beast seemed to have lost any sense of control and wildly struck anything in its way. The advantage of it being this beast in particular was that no matter how much it destroyed, it didn't make the hypnosis last any lesser. It would wear out, yes, but it would take more than a few seconds. In such a fast paced struggle, this seemed to be rather long. Either way, the Ethereal wasn't going to waste time letting Apocalypse destroy anything until it'd be free of any malus. The Mindfray's effects had indeed started to dampen, but maintained the creature under its normal speed, making it still a lot easier for the alien to follow in detail the abomination's movements.

Its previous Psi-Lance demonstrated that the conventional amount of power wasn't enough to decommission him despite the direct hit. Added to that would be the stunning discovery of a complete lack of organic systems in the creature. It was a large, sentient mass that would likely not feel any pain. As such there seemed to be only one way to put that beast down from the Ethereal's perspective, and it would be to strike it at the head, an area it confirmed to have motoric functions that made it susceptible to Psi influences. The Ethereal's accuracy was great, vastly superior to any race in its universe with or without enhancements, but even with speed slightly under the speed of sound, a precise shot was too difficult and unwise.

'Basterbine. We have another one, we may require your ability to immobilize this beast. The current witnesses are of no grand importance.'

It relayed the telepathic message in an instant to its colleague in arms, now ready to make its counter. It was living these moments in the same perspective as Apocalypse, in the millisecond. By now, the Ethereal was more than used to the way Apocalypse moved and his displayed potentials. All it had to do now was to catch it in one final trap. The fact that Apocalypse created distance to strike anything around it, going as far as wasting most of the city, made the plan a whole lot easier. As the beast charged in to attack a nearby building, the Ethereal applied the Psi-Field, known as the Telekinetic field among the Xcom soldiers, creating a light purple barrier with a radius of 150 meters, a distance easily crossed by Apocalypse during its rampage.

The monster's trajectory to assault what it appeared to guess would be a potential place for the Ethereal to be would have it cross the barrier. The Mindfray was mostly weakened but the Psi-Panic was still somewhat fresh with a slow regression. It essentially only saw a shade of purple mix with whatever the hallucinations were making him see. Inevitably penetrating the field out of disorientation, the Ethereal pointed its palm in a specific direction. Having crossed the field, Apocalypse's speed was halved within the barrier. Although still fast, he was strongly nerfed in his ability to avoid something coming at him in bullet speed while Psi-Panic still plagued his senses. His bloodlust and tireless capabilities would also be his weakness in this battle.

The Psi-Lance was fired accurately at the strongly withered down Apocalypse, right at his rather massive head (relative to other beings of course). The Lance was a tier stronger than the last, the type that demanded the full potential of the Über Ethereal's capabilities. It was confident that the biological structure of the creature would likely allow it to survive the hit, the gamble here was if it could actually neutralize it for the time being.

Bambietta "Bambi" Basterbine

@thewizardguy@Savato@CorpusMundus

She raised her hands trying to appear defenseless "I just need a ride out of this place, I am from that way and...I have no idea where I am, it seems like I was just pulled from my house and suddenly put into the middle of these monsters, to many to count." She winced and from the spot she was holding it started to bleed "and it does seem that I've taken more than I can handle in terms of pain, of course I can understand why you wouldn't trust me, this place seems less than hospitable" she gave a small smile and glanced in the direction of Bern, wide eyed as buildings seemed to be falling and she sighed, putting her hand behind her back for a moment, she grabbed a reshi tracker, filled with her own reshi for a purpose meant for later "Looks like I'll be taking a raincheck on your help, if you will excuse me, it seems a idiot colleague of mine is in need of my help." she bowed and winked at him, all in motion began running, vaulting over the car and attaching the tracker on the bumper, before suddenly disappearing and reappearing at least a mile away from the man from before. Picking up her hat and white overcoat, she put her hat on and cracked her knuckles.

'Basterbine. We have another one, we may require your ability to immobilize this beast. The current witnesses are of no grand importance.'

"I'm already heading your way, should have called me earlier..." she said it outloud, but it was sent directly back to the Uber. She used her Hirenkyaku once more and quickly closed the distance, until she was standing above on a building untouched and she saw from a distance the thing the Uber was fighting. Crossing her arms, she watched it's movements "It's fast...really fast if this is what it can do at normal speeds, at least im going to assume that he did something to the thing...strong too...interesting" sitting, she sat on the edge of the building and swinging her legs "Tell me when you want me to jump in, though it seems you have it in your hands, just saying..." her self inflicted wounds had already started healing and she waited to be called upon.

Cyano Conablum

Bern, Switzerland

After a short travel, made much faster by augmenting her speed, Cyano reached the source of the smoke and dust. Most of the buildings around here were destroyed, and those standing were barely skeletons. Only their frames remaining. The source of this destruction seemed to be the battle between the two creatures in the center of the destruction. One of them looked like it could barely take a hit, while the other one looked closer to a mutated whale. Judging from its weak stature, and from the purple lance it had just fired, this thing was a pretty powerful psychic. No doubt it was already aware of her presence. This put Cyano in a bit of a predicament. She could help it, and not have to worry about shielding her mind, or she could shield her mind, but then she would be at the mercy of the mutated whale. Or she could leave and hope no one cared. Of course, this would all be null if both the creatures were hostile to her.

@Moonlit Sonata@Lmpkio
"Indeed. I believe there is something within this place known as a Terminal. This device would allow us to travel between worlds, and potentially to return to our own worlds." He didn't speak of his desire to unite the multiverse under his rule, knowing full well that they were most likely far more occupied with their personal dilemma. Once he had delivered them to the safety of their own homes, only then would he call in favours from them. "This artifact marks the first step in understanding what brought us here, and why. It's also the first tool we have to fix this problem, to return us all to where we rightfully belong." The second thing he didn't tell them was his concern for his own world. His presence on the Golden Throne, whilst torturous, had kept him alive to fight the Chaos Gods. With him seperated from the throne, most likely the entirety of Terra had been devoured by the Warp. The Ruinous Powers would be free to wreak havoc on the universe, and warp travel would have become impossible for the Imperium. He wished to return to his world, simply that he could return his children to his tutelage, to save them in their darkest hour. If there were anything left to save.

Nova looked from trinket to trinket, briefly inspecting each and every one of them as he searched for the connection to the other world. The problem was that he had no idea what form this artifact would take, and this lack of knowledge further prevented him from enlisting the help of those present. He would have to feel it out, as it were. To test the waters with his psychic abilities, and find the source of the energy that had originally brought him here. Little did he know that Frisk was only a little deeper into the Gift Shop, and had already found the Terminal.

@Savato@AgentFallenSoul@Absolis
Apocalypse roared and raged, tearing a path of destruction as the Ethereal carefully kept it's distance. After but moments of rampaging through the city, the Ethereal's trap closed around him. Using the combined force of the Psychic Field and the Psi-Lance, it was able to pull off a powerful shot to the head. A lance of high-powered psionic energy shot at Apocalypse's face, as it turned to meet the blast. It was in that moment that the Ethereal realized it had found, perhaps, Apocalypse's single weakness. The only known way to even halt it's rampage, to get past it's indestructible physiology. The beam struck it in the face, and it was force back. Powerful energies tore their way through his flesh, revealing his heavily armoured skull beneath. The single organ that existed within Apocalypse's body was the brain, the central nervous system that ran the massive lump of organic material.

Slowly, the purple light cleared away, the psi-field falling. What it revealed was Apocalypse, standing upright. However, it's face seemed to have been stripped of flesh, torn down and almost hollowed out. It's skull remained, battered but sturdy. But it's brain seemed to have been destroyed, and the Ethereal could tell with a glance that the creature had been killed. It's consciousness had been snuffed out, all thought processes failing as the behemoth toppled to the ground. The giant was felled.

However, the Ethereal was not so easily fooled. While it could tell the being's conscious mind had been destroyed, it could tell with equal ease that the creature's body remained alive. Much more slowly than before, the wounds on it's face healed, and it's brain began to rebuild itself. Basterbine would be able to tell that the creatures Spiritual Energy remained, focused around the body and unable to leave despite it's apparent death. It was clear that this creature would not allow mere death to halt it's rampage, and would revive itself, given enough time. By their best estimates, the process would take about a day. What they were not aware of, of course, was that once Apocalypse had been revived it's adaptive evolution system would have kicked in. It's revived form would be faster, stronger, and almost completely immune to psionic attacks. Such was the power of Doomsday, inherited by this creature.

[Savato]

Über Ethereal

Devastated Bern, Switzerland

---

The Ethereal's elaborate plan to neutralize the massive threat was a success. Perhaps too much of a success. It could not detect any brain activity from the almost headless Apocalypse, a sign that could indicate death. It would have been a waste of time if it would have had killed the beast when the goal was to keep him alive and eventually see what he could offer them. Luck would have it that, indeed his motor functions required a brain, but the healing factor didn't perish after such a strike. The alien overlord could easily notice this fact as it had quite an experience with strange, spliced creatures in the thousands of years it lived.

By then Bambietta had returned, insuring at least a backup plan if Apocalypse were to rise again this instant. No such thing would happen, of course, as the abomination entered a state of comatose to evolve even further. Not that it would matter too much, quite the contrary, once they'd discover that fact they'd likely make great use of it. With a simple release of psionic energy, a portal opened in the sky, revealing a relatively small, blue ship. It fired a flash of light right at the motionless body of Apocalypse, warping the mindless body into the Overseer class UFO for future analysis. He'd of course be put in a Stasis Tank as they would proceed into researching his rather unusual body. The moment the beast was secured in the ship, it flew back into the portal, leaving no trace of its existence behind.

"We have succeeded in securing the Level 5. What a magnificent specimen, beyond what we have encountered in these realms. Will it be the next milestone in The Envisioning One's quest? Only time will tell."

The Ethereal remained motionless as it finally gave attention to the strange presence that was stalking it for a short period of time before the behemoth was finally put down. The levitating figure of the alien turned to face the direction of the single audience of this show, other than Bambietta. It didn't do anything, nor did it have the intention to. It had no data on this individual nor did it find anything distinguishable about this apparent blue haired human. Of course, the fact that she was here still made her somewhat of an anomaly and probably something much different than a human being. But these days the multiverse would be crawling with these things.

"Basterbine. Without any callousness, would you address this stranger? Would it also be possible to have a report on your interaction with the entities leaving the local area?"

~Diabolic Esper and Lord Knight~

Just as the Esper would begin to head out of the base alongside Ika... a sword-wielding redhead came out from above!



"I GOT YOU NOW, ADDDD!!!"

Add didn't seem to be that bothered by the fact that one of his rivals happened to find him here, and it did come to question on how someone that possessed little to no developed magic or technology would find him out of all people. He simply stepped back and had his Dynamos let out a powerful blast of electrical energy, forcing the Knight back several meters from himself and his new allies.



"Yes yes, you got me, and you don't need to be yelling out my name every time we meet... you hotheaded buffoon. Strange that you managed to find me, I was expecting that elemental mage or even the one with the Nasod arm to chase me down... but you'll do just fine..."

A confident smile only came up on the knight's face, seeing that he got himself into an inevitable fight against the time travelling esper.

"Oh yeah? Alrighty, guess this Lord Knight has to beat you senseless until you get the damn picture!"

Elsword readied his blade, thinking that Add's new companions were just innocents drawn in by the diabolic esper, he decided to use a move that wouldn't hurt them.

"Windmill!"

Swinging his sword and spinning at high speeds, the knight charged towards Add specifically. Surely the Esper had something to go up against the spinning blade top technique that Elsword was using... but of course, Ika and Cia could just help out Add since Elsword didn't seem to go after them in the first place.

Ahsoka Tano, New York City

Ahsoka grinned as her throw totally blindsided Starkiller, and she was able to use it to take the offensive, to keep him away from the others, even if for only a little bit. Yet she was able to notice as the new arrivals opened fire, shooting at pretty much everyone around with an assortment of strange weapons.

Well then, this situation was rapidly turning bad, but fortunately the rest of the group being attacked recognized it and decided to flee, even though one of them was seriously injured in the process of retreating.

That was good, at least they had common sense. She would let them get a bit away before leaping back in a flip, and upon landing lashed out with a massive Force Push, aimed at Sith and the other four, if only to delay them fora few seconds. That would be all that was needed as she took the time to beat her own retreat as a rear guard. This fight had been lost, but it would not be the last. Of that she was sure.

Gojira-San

"Indeed. I believe there is something within this place known as a Terminal. This device would allow us to travel between worlds, and potentially to return to our own worlds."

Gojira-san seemed curious yet also excited. Could this "Terminal" be the place where she can go back to her world? Can she be finally able to reunite with her daughter? She had never imagined to experience hope this close and in a very short time, considering this was her second day in the multiverse. None of the less, if its true, if this "Terminal" exists, then she along with everyone else can go back to their desired universes and live out their daily lives once more.

"This artifact marks the first step in understanding what brought us here, and why. It's also the first tool we have to fix this problem, to return us all to where we rightfully belong."

"I hope so..." Gojira-San replies as she looks around as well, inspecting the opposite side of the gift shop for clues on its wearabouts.

THE ALLIANCE OF CONQUERERS

Including Ryu & Starkiller

@Eviledd1984 "We need to head back to the palace." Ryu responds as he shields himself from the debris inflicted by a blast, "Even if these Conquerers don't follow us back, we'll still be no match for them at our current rate!"

He then looks back in horror to see Lapis fall down due to the blasts inflicted by the Conquerers, who laughed in amusement as they watched her fall.

"Lapis!" he cries out with a hand reaching towards her direction, "Quick! Someone get her to safety!"

@Cuccoruler But Kirby would've done so already, swallowing her to store her in his little pocket dimension. The Karate fighter breathes a sigh of relief as he begins to swiftly fall back, jumping from roof to roof of the crumbling buildings back to the palace.

@Flamelord As the Alliance Of Conquerers begin to push in the assault, they would feel the force blasted admitted by Ahsoka. However, this only proved to do little but make them slightly flinch and continued until they were too far away for them to hit. It was a glorious victory for the Alliance as they stand ominously and proudly over the battlefield they just conquered. This was just a test to test how strong the universe they plan to conquer, and it seems weak and ripe for the pickings. They'll be back to capture New York later...

Starkiller would slowly get up after the battle and look at the sea of metal and fire. He looks at the direction of where the jedi went and growls quietly.

'Foolish Jedi...' notes the sith lord to himself at her, 'Your cockiness will lead to your downfall. You may've survived this battle, but when we meet again... I vow to smear your blood all over the floor and serve your head to my master on a silver platter... Beware Jedi... Beware..."

But his thoughts were interrupted as a katana is placed right below his chin. Satsuki looks down at the sith lord with the serious-as-usual face.

"Who are you?" states the woman bluntly yet authoritively, "It appears you happen to be someone we seek."

Starkiller would slowly look up at the Conquer with his breathing echoing throughout the battlefield.

"What do you want?" he asks, "For I am not affiliated with these... rebels."

"Flirting with a stranger I see?" jokes Ghidorah-san jokingly as her wings fold up, "This is bad comedy!"

Satsuki would growl in annoyance but none of the less keeps her cool.

"It appears we found the sith lord... the one called Starkiller. Is this him?"

The Dragon Queen would inspect the sith lord carefully, making sure if it is who he is.

"Indeed he is." she remarks to Satsuki's question.

"What do you want?" repeats Starkiller again with a slightly more aggressive tone.

"We've been looking for you..." she replies, "To serve in our cause for total multiversal domination."

"I serve no one but my master." Starkiller responds bluntly.

Ghidorah-san would chuckle as she looms over him.

"So you think... but this is an offer you can't refuse! Allow me to explain more once you come with us back to our base..."

At the same time, Bowser and Ultron had found Kars nearby.

"Well well..." Ultron says as he hovers slightly off the ground, "Looks like another one has decided to stay around. You seem to be.. affiliated with the sith?"

"I believe this is Kars." replies Bowser as he takes a good look, "Another person we were tasked to... recruit. The 100,000 year ruler of the so called, Pillar Men."
