Infinite Justice: Beyond (Marvel,DC,DBZ X/Over, IC, Open)

[Charmera]

The android looked upon the Saiyan as he overreacted to her presence. She tensed slightly. But then relaxed when he did. She looked upon him for a little longer, observing him for a little while. She had never seen a Saiyan this close up, though her curiosity lessened when she realized how similar to human he was in looks. She mentally shrugged and then came back to his question. Not realizing she had left a somewhat awkward pause. '

"I can travel between dimensions." She replied. "I was just coming back from an alternate universe recently. I wanted to go to my home dimension, but it seems this one seems to have been... in my way." She explained. Trying to convey the intricacies of traveling between dimensions as she did would be hard enough, but she was also an android, who found communication difficult at the best of times. "I came in time to see both of you fighting..." She remarked. "Are you injured? Why were you fighting that other Saiyan? Why was your hair glowing golden?" She asked in quick succession.

As the android explained her story, Okarot realized that her means of travelling across dimensions was very different from his own. Okarot simply used his Ki to search out the dimension he wanted, and tear a hole to it. For this stranger however, it was clear that the dimensions were not only the destination, but also the road. Such a way a travelling could be dangerous, as there was no telling what a dimension could hold in terms of danger. Many were uninhabitable by even the strongest of beings, and would not only exert physical extremities upon you, but change the very fabric of who you were.

Suddenly, as Okarot was bombarded by a wave of questions, his hand began to glow. Lowering it to his wound, he began explaining, "I can heal myself, so my injuries will be okay." he said, rather calmly, his power hangover making him tired, "My hair was golden because I went Super Saiyan. What you saw was Super Saiyan 3, the highest form I've accomplished, though I'm sure I can go further. Super Saiyan 3 multiples a Saiyan's original power by just over 400 times, while a Super Saiyan 2 transformation multiplies it by 100 times. A normal Super Saiyan transformation multiplies it by 50 times. As for why I was fighting... basically, that cyborg over there attacked me after I released him from the pod he was contained in. But, I'm not complaining, he was a good test for the Super Saiyan 3 state."

Lisa noticed the healing abilities of the saiyan with great interest. She watched as his flesh seemed to repair itself with surprising efficiency. How his flesh repaired so quickly reminded her of... something. She quickly shook the thought off. Her mind whirred back to the line of questions she had for the Saiyan in question. "Multiple forms... I have something similar. Though they work differently." She remarked. Then paused. "Didn't help me much though..." She sighed. Then changed the subject. "So he attacked you instantly?" She responded, considering the posibilities. Why would someone do that with insufficient information?

She then paused. Suddenly extending a hand. "My name is Lisa. I'm an android." She spoke. It was only fair she told him. "What's yours?"

"System reboot failed...Assuming biological parameters." A small robotic, feminine voice said in Paras' head as his eyes went from pitch black to a bright blue - lines of alien coding and letters flashing past him in rapid succession until a bright light formed from the endless code. The white light took up his entire vision, and was only broken by the sight of an angel in front of the cyborg Saiyan. His mind struggled to comprehend such beauty after the fight - Paras reasoning that he might have died. He smiled at the android, not knowing who she was and why she was there, but he let her know what he thought about her. "You're...alluring." He said, using his mind's thesaurus to find a smarter word for 'pretty'.

Paras rose up on his own accord, sitting down and looking at the mess he had made of himself. Well, he wasn't quite sure what all had happened - the last thing Paras remembered was a planetary explosion after he conquered a planet for Freiza. After that, he was in the midst of a battle and just punched the other Saiyan, and now, he was in the presence of a foxy lady. "I...I'm Paras, nice to meet you. You look so very...charming." He said smoothly, smirking a bit, hoping his good looks didn't get wiped out when the PTO made him into a killer cyborg. "Grah..." He moaned, placing a hand on his head as it throbbed in pain, "It feels like a million tiny shocks in my brain!"

The android blinked suddenly at his compliment. Not sure what to make of it. She cocked her head slightly. Confused. She wasn't sure why her appearance would be the topic at hand. The other Saiyan hadn't commented on it, and she found it a little strange that it had been brought up by this one. She self conciously looked at her wings and body once more, now getting a little self concious with this Saiyans gaze. What did he see? Why does he stare?

She the spoke. "My... Name is Lisa. My name is Lisa." She said twice, quite flustered and embarrassed by it. Was she handling this well? She wasn't quite sure. "I am sorry... but what do you mean I look 'alluring'? I'm very confused..." She replied. And then suddenly when he doubled over. "Paras? Are you alright?" She asked. She placed a hand on his cheek. She pinged the computer in his brain, trying to access it remotely, but the system was... foreign. She wasn't quite sure what was going on. "Your system seems to be causing the pain at a guess. I'd suggest running a diagnostic check and seeing if the problem can be remedied. I would do so but I am having trouble accessing it." She responded matter of factly.

The Patrick Residence - Beverly Hills, L.A

(Image)

Background Theme Music

It t'was a lovely, bright & early morning in the home of The Doctor. The birds were flying about singing tunes only other birds could understand and their harmonious lullabies filled the atmosphere of the residential area with subtle joy and quietness. However, the Doctor herself was about to break the balance between Order and Chaos that morning, as we shall very soon see......

---

10 year-old Jane Eleonora Patrick carefully placed a pair of small cylindrical bio-sensor devices at each side of her older sister's bedroom door. Adjusting them to be parallel to one another, she activated it and a thin red laser line beamed out across the floor to virtually interconnect them as one. Grinning to herself, Jane followed it up by fishing out a two tin capsules from her backpack before sliding open the central cover of one of them to button in a code that would wirelessly connect them both to the bio-sensors on the ground. With that done, the Doctor initiated the anti-grav systems of the two capsules and placed them hovering in the air directly above Olivia's doorway.

The tin canisters each contained the same green sticky substance as the other. A non-lethal chemical liquid of which Jane had given the dubious title of "Gooey-Greenie Mucus H20" or simply "The Gooey-Greenie." It was something of a hard-to-wash green paint with the exception that the Doctor made it felt as sticky as actual mucus + glue and as stinky as a skunk's urine. The moment Olivia stepped out of her room and triggered the sensor devices on the floor would be the moment the capsules in the air would burst open and bestow its all-glutinous loveliness upon her.

Jane unintentionally snorted out loud in an effort to stifle the growing itch to laugh terribly from just picturing the scene. This was a prank she had always dreamed of playing on her older sister ever since that incident when Olivia was kidnapped, experimented upon, became skin-like green and obtained abilities similar to The Hulk before being dropped off back home. The only part of her that looked normal slightly was her long wavy hair which was still dark but with a tinge of green in it........though the Doctor was gonna change all of that really soon and ensured that it became an all bright-green hue that matched the complexion of her skin. Oh the hilarity.

Of course there was going to be a backlash to this new shenanigan of hers. Knowing her new hulked-out sister it was definitely going to be a super big, loud & rampaging one that could potentially destroy the home. But meh......Jane knew they could always afford to build another. Or if her parents suddenly ran out of that huge-ass luxury of theirs which they could have used to potentially feed all the starving children in Africa instead of throwing grand parties once every weekend, all the Doctor had to do was pick up a magic hammer and a magic chisel and voila!....new palace built......to her own awesome taste & image of course.

However, the next question shouldn't be on how to rebuild the mansion. Nope. It should be on how Jane was going to protect herself from Olivia's righteous wrath of fury next.

The Doctor nonchalantly slung her backpack over her shoulder before gazing up to look behind at the opposite ceiling. Plugged into the wall above was a miniature security camera, secretly planted there by yours truly the day before to film the scene and be replayed later on at Jane's leisure. Might even become a future hit on Youtube, who knows.

The Doctor glanced at her wrist-watch and realising it was nearly time for the household awakening, she quickly hurried back into her room to initiate defensive measures. A spherical podium sat stationary on the floor and greeted our mischievous heroine as she entered the bedroom and shut the door behind her before locking it. Then flinging her backpack onto her bed first, Jane climbed onto the podium and settled herself down on it by assuming a buddha pose in the form of mock meditation. Immediately a force field erupted in a bubble that surrounded the Doctor as she sat there with her eyes close and an evil grin twisted upon her cute little face. This was her first and last line of defence and indeed nothing more was needed anyway. The force field itself was strong enough to withstand a direct hit from a thermonuclear missile. Even if her sister looked like a Hulk, her strength should be nowhere near the original.......or thats what Jane hoped at least. The Doctor hadn't had the free time to test Olivia's newfound powers out and measure them accordingly. What with her new role as Time Lord of Earth Beyond and her new responsibilities to safe-guard & maintain the space-time continuum which was a hectic job, enough to drive a normal working adult insane.

Anyways, today was an exceptional one day holiday that knowing Mr. FF (Fulcrum Force) could probably end any minute. But first, Jane was going to enjoy this too long-delayed escapade of hers. She couldn't wait to see the look on Olivia's face....much less how she'll look with the new hairdo.

Olivia looked at the ruins before her. Destroyed buildings, overturned cars and broken roads. She could see the fire. Though it could not hurt her. She walked forward. proceeding as she looked around the city. She could see her sister standing before her. Rushing towards her, Olivia-

Olivia awoke with a start, hearing something from her sisters room. Sitting up with considerable force. The bed cracked and snapped under her strength with considerable ease. She grunted, sighing as she got up from her broken bed. She gritted her teeth with more force than it took to snap the bed and sighed as she stretched slightly. Another bed gone... She thought to herself. You'd think with all the crazy stuff Jane's been inventing she could at least make me a bed that doesn't snap at the slightest provocation. She thought to herself.

Ever since the transformation it had been more or less like that with everything. Doors ripped from their hinges, windows smashed and plenty of damage to her families property. She had destroyed her car by getting out of it too faced. And the more she got frustrated at it the less she could control it. She hadn't dared touch anything she loved in those days. And she had been perhaps a little distance with Jane and her parents. Unwilling to shake hands or hug anyone. She needed to get this under control and it was hard working out the bugs of her new powers.

Kermit was right. It's not easy being green.

Though, then again, it had perks. She was nigh on invincible, since nothing she had tried to do had even come close to hurting her. She could jump fast and high. Moving things was no longer a problem. People tended to be much nicer to her than usual (And that was saying a lot considering how she looked). And it was pretty freaking awesome having superpowers.

The only thing it didn't seem to help that much with was dealing with her annoying know it all sister. But that was a matter she had to live with considering her parents were putting her through art school and she didn't have a job anymore. (Turns out Starbucks doesn't like it when their employees are green and make basketball players look like jockey riders)

Speaking of which, she supposed she should go check on her little sister. After all she did feel a degree of responsibility for her considering she was the big sister. She walked up to the door. And inhaled, exhaled, and carefully, carefully opened it. The door moved forward and Olivia walked through it. She had achieved success in opening the door. She could almost hear the level up sound as she smiled triumphantly.

Only to get a face-full of green good.

She paused for a moment. Not fully comprehending what was going on. Then she put a hand to her face and felt a green sticky substance. She was now covered in it. And so was her hair. Her hair.

Her fucking hair was green.

---

"JANE!"

Everyone in the house and a good amount of people out of it would hear the primal roar of Olivia's sisters name. This had been a particularly shitty past few days for Olive. She was just getting the hand of things, and then this happens. This was a straw that breaks the camels back. Or... goo that turns the camel green. Whatever. Either way it fucking sucks and she was righteously pissed. The only thing that had looked not green was now fucking green.

With stomps that shook the entire house, Olivia stormed towards Janes room with a green fire in her eyes. The door put up a laughable amount of resistance, not even causing her pause as she simply walked right through the door. Then turned to see her sister.

"You are so freaking dead!" She said. Of course, that was an exaggeration. She likely wouldn't do anything to even hurt her sister. But she needed to get back at her. Both to sate her vengeance for her dyed hair and to serve as punishment for her evil little sister.

She walked forward, but was blocked by the force-field. Which was actually a barrier, unlike the door. Though it served to piss off Olive even more. Which was perhaps it's undoing.

A single strike already left it cracked. and a second did so even more. It took a third to make a hole. Each punch sent tremors through the two and sent the various things in her sisters room flying. It was a miracle the floor didn't give out. Not thinking about any of this Olivia grabbed the force field through the hole she made and tore it apart, cracking it and shattering it. She then inhaled, exhaled. And picked her sister up by the foot with her right hand. Lifting her up to Olivia's face. Her eyes glaring at the person before her.

"You have exactly ten seconds to tell me how to get this stuff off before I break open the pipeline to the sewers and then dunk you in it."

Hiroshi:

"I Killed Paragus!"

Immediately the Monster froze. That was the nerve, the nerve he didn't want to pick. Rising to his full height. Hiroshi stared defiantly at Broly.

" yea, you heard me! I killed that bastard! He was visiting my Father and I killed him for fun! That sick old man wanted my dad to sell me to him so I could become what you were! He always said I was just like you, and it made me sick!" Hiroshi snapped furiously, silently biting his lip and hoping the larger Saiyan bought his lie.

Broly had finally turned to face him, Hirosho almost sighing as the little girl scurried away. But the Brute's face was impassive. But there was something bigger building beneath his skin, something much darker then what he'd seen before.

" Just thought you should know since you killed my daughter. Look at us, we could be best friends, killing each others family!" Hiroshi spat, anger and disgust seeping into his voice.

The world began to rumble once again, as the beasts face twisted into something incredibly evil and dark. First his energy slowly faded to golden fire, his entire bod beginning to tremble as his teeth grit together. Like a tsunami, an incredible wave of force washed over the city, followed by an even stronger blast of force, Broly's muscles tightening dangerously. Veins popped across his frame, red vessels in his eyes bursting, only adding to his demonic appearance.

This was his true power, coming forward, and coming forward with his fury.

Gritting his teeth, Hiroshi knew he couldn't concede.

Hey Little Monkey

Yeah Hey Kiddo

Looking around =, hoping to find the people the voices belonged to, Hiroshi saw no one.

" Who is that?" He muttered slowly. " Mother? Uncle?"

In the background, there was a evil cackle from the Monster. Having finally found some entertainment, Broly crossed his arms and watched the bleeding wreck.

"Hiroshi, it's me, your Mother and Uncle. We're talking to you from the next life, You can do this. I know you think your out of power honey, but you have so much more."

"Yeah kid. I can feel that strength within you, just let it loose."

But Mother... My bodies burnt, broken and I can't even feel the right side of my face. Where is this power going to come from?" Hiroshi asked.

"Within. There's so much power within you, you just can't feel it. You fear you'll hurt the planet. Do not worry about the damage it might cause, the damage you'll cause is nothing compared to everything you'll save."

" Now get the fuck up boy. You didn't help kill Freiza, defeat Garlic Junior and become a Super Saiyan to die by this Brutes hands! Get UP!"

"You can do it Daddy."

Wracked breathing rushed through Hiroshi as he almost forcibly folded over, white hot fur flooding his veins.

" Die."

Something broke behind Hiroshi's eyes, hands coming off old restraints. He felt in that moment, two hands on hi shoulders, and a small hand within his own. His Mother and Uncle flanked him on either side, and his daughter held his hand, their images urging him to let it all go. Chaos flowed from his core, all control over his energy collapsing. This wasn't just a release of hidden potential, this was the flood gates opening, and Hiroshi felt his body burn from the inside out. It was incredibly painful to experience.

Without thought, his hand raised up, just as the brute pulled back his fist to strike. When his own hand caught it, all of his energy surged into one limb, a bright golden flash and explosive noise halting the fist where it was. trembling, his fingers brimmed with lightening, as the aura around him threatened to turn his frame gold. Shaky breaths escaped his lips as emerald eyes turned upwards, locking eyes with Broly for a moment.

"Ha... Ha!...HAAAA!"

Each breath that escaped Hiroshi became more and more furious, his muscles bulging with strain. Veins rippled across his body as his aura exploded around him. Golden fire immediately burned away the concrete, steel and broken glass, sending the ashes scattering into the hurricane forming around him. His scream echoed across the ruins of West City. it was the sound of an animal breaking out of it's cage.

Victory would mean finding a way to take those away from him... somehow.

All the power Hiroshi could harness pushed itself into one spot, his emerald eyes locking once more with Broly's. Growling, Hiroshi slid back into a crouch, looking like a cat ready to pounce, before he bounded forward, his whole body pushing itself past it's limit for one final strike.Only energy surrounded his fist as his hand disappeared n the glowing fire arching towards Broly.

The arm seared up Broly's chest, starting in his stomach before ripping up his abdomen. Skin, muscles and even bone were exposed to open air, before being cooked by the raw energy surrounding the warriors. All that power blasted through layer after layer of power protecting the Brutes frame, blood exploding from the wound before the fist that had opened the wound cauterized it in the same moment. The burning gash ended near the breast bone of the Devil. the entire frame of the Giant shifted with the strike, arching backwards as a pained scream escaped Broly, his scream being lost in the pulsing energy around them.

Only as the light faded off his fist, did Hiroshi return to himself. As soon as he did, he realized just how worn he was, but the flood of power from within him soon brought him back from the brink of exhaustion. Screams from the warriors echoed across the city, as a swirl of green energy wrapped itself around Broly, and Hiroshi's own energy began to cook his arm. Flailing in the air uncontrollably, and no longer able to contain the power growing within him, Broly's body violently expelled the power with another spray of blood. Terror quickly washed over Hiroshi as he realized what was happening, and the consequences it would have.

Both of their screams were deafened by the sound of the blast.

In the blink of an eye, half of Satan City was obliterated as well as several mountains around it, a titanic explosion of green light washing over the area. Even as the city evaporated and cratered seconds later, the burning green light traveled for hundreds of miles, blinding anyone who gazed upon it.

()()()()()()()()()

Everythign hurt.

Even after he'd raised all of his defenses, the blast from within Broly had left him in worse shape then he'd wanted. He wasn't sure how long he'd been out, but all he knew was that the ground beneath him was solid, and there was a sky above him. As he started digging rocks and mud off of him, Hiroshi felt the patter of rain impact his skin, and for a moment, almost lost himself in how amazing it felt. Even as cold as it was, the rain against his skin was all he could ask for in that moment.

just then, the wind picked up, blowing his onyx hair to the west, to his left. The rain intensified as lightening arced across the sky once more, a thundering boom breaking the gentle quiet of the battlefield.

There was movement in the distance, perhaps fifty meters from him. The earth broke as a trembling, meaty hand broke through the rocks. Still breathing heavily, Hiroshi watched as a golden haired figure pulled itself from the crater it once lay in.

No No No No! How could he have survvied that!

Even when his own power had betrayed him. Broly had defied all odds, defied death. Just like him, Broly refused to give up. With his head raised in the air, Broly roared a she locked eyes with Hiroshi, emerald meeting onyx in a terrified fashion.

"Hiroshi!" He hissed.

As the wrods left his mouth, the huge beast slumped into the dirt, leaving Hiroshi to almost sigh in relief before the Devil pulled himself to his feet once more, one hand covering the gaping hole in his chest. Hiroshi shifted for a moment, backing away and trying to pull himself from the crater, his hand gripping the lip of the crater as Broly stalked towards him., rainwater getting in his eyes as lightening illuminated everything.

"Kid it ain't over yet. Gather your strength, one more strike of that strength and he'll be down for that count. Come on, me and your Mother believe in you. Tomia believes in you..."

Gulping, Hiroshi locked eyes with the brute.

" Y-you die here Boy!" broly roared hoarsely. Struggling to his knees, Hiroshi growled as he raised an arm, channeling his energy.

Shit. Claudia? Where are you when I NEED YOU?!?

Suddenly, like a red meteor of fury and rage. Claudia came down in a red ball of fire which quickly turned blue before it landed next to Broly with a rediculous amount of force. She then came out of the large and deep crater she made in the earth and grabbed Broly and lifted the brute over her head like a basketball. "Hey Asshole! Pick on someone elses boyfriend for a change!" She shouted, before turning to Hiroshi. "Hey Hiro. Do you know how to play baseball?" She asked. Then stepped forward with car crushing force, swinging her captive forward with her arms, tossing the large saiyan at the Saiyan who had been fighting him not long ago with considerable force. "Well hit this one out of the park!" She shouted as she did so.

The magical attack sent forth by Yamirakkelis succeeded in making Ku stop attacking Hadrimmelis by throwing him off of her. Afterwards, Tarasekannú slammed into him, sending him further away while igniting him, causing him a great deal of pain, though the flames were swiftly absorbed. The fire dragon offered a claw to Hadrimmelis, and she promptly took it, getting back on her feet and unfurling her wings once more, still in fighting condition despite everything. The battle was proving to be difficult because of Ku's ability to ignore damage and absorb attacks, but as far as damage to her own avatar was concerned, she had not suffered too much after enduring the Time Demon's attacks, beyond of course the pain of being struck. Even though this was only an avatar of her true self, her black worldscales were not cracked or chipped nor did they display any other sign of damage.

Meanwhile, Ku was obliterated several times over by Aru'va's warp grenades, which shredded his very constitutive elements every single time, only strangled screams of blinded fury interrupting the noise of the detonations. The Time Demon was able to reform after each time, though, but only to end up encased in a bubble from the Rantu's bubble gun. He was about to begin draining the damn thing, but then, Taras' stream of fire burst open the bubble form outside and bathed him in fire once again. Not one to leave the fray, after thanking her brother, Hadrimmelis stepped up next to him, towering over the younger dragon as she reared up and then let out a completely soundless bellow, a psychic roar that used the World-Dragon's vast psionic abilities to systematically tear apart the Time Demon piece by piece and then force him to reform in the same spot, only to begin the process once again. "Sealing him will not work, not this time. We have to end him now." She spoke even as she roared.

Eventually, she stopped, and at that moment, Ku, reformed once again, fell to his knees. Though he was only vaguely humanoid in shape and did not have any recognizable features, it seemed at the moment that he was breathing heavily, but after a moment, he rose up once again.

"I TIRE OF THIS GAME." The Time Demon spoke, his polymorphic voice suddenly much less sardonic and dominating.

Then, suddenly, Ku's form started siphoning everything in the vicinity. Hadrimmelis' eyes went wide and she quickly flew up to Aru'va and Ashyandra, engulfing them with her dark red membrane wings in order to protect them from the destruction of the Time Demon. Though there was very little to siphon in that empty space at first glance, it was noticeable that Ku was still gaining a massive ammount of power, somehow. After a moment, Hadrimmelis understood why. In the broadset and most metaphysical, all-encompassing way possible, Time could be defined by some as the path that an entity followed, which, in all cases, ultimately ended in the destruction of said object. Time, thus, could equal death. That was the power Ku was employing at the moment. Not their death, no, for even though the World-Dragons could die, their end could not be woven by time itself. But she could tell, she could sense the death of concepts around her. Light died, as did warmth, and darkness, and cold. They could be brought back, of course, but they no longer had their own place in that battlefield: they were alien to it now. Erroneous. Misplaced.

The World-Dragon was then shocked by what she felt. Their power. It was dying, too. The power of those present in the battlefield, other than Ku, who was still busy siphoning everything around him. They would not die if he was left to complete his drain, no, but they would be powerless to stop him afterwards.

Startled, Hadrimmelis released Aru and Ashy from their winged stronghold, and then pointed at Ku with a claw.

"Release everything you have on him! Now! Or we won't be able to stop him!" She roared, both to her friends and to her siblings, before granting the Rantu and the Vokornian a fraction of her power and unleashing the rest upon Ku in a maelstrom of elemental obliteration and psionic annihilation.

In the mean time, strange mists gathered around the battlefield, away from Ku.

Aru already had a rifle aimed at her target, having remembered his position from when her eyes were not covered by wings. With a sudden, almost microwave "Ding!" her drones were done. For this final assault there were noticably more of them. And as she popped them out they unslung their taychon Rifles and warp 'nade launchers and the Rantu aimed two annihalation beams at her target. Ever the symbol of the Rantu maxim: "Peace through superior firepower" Aru pounded into her foe with her alien tech. Beams, nades and unknown material accelerated past the speed of light by warping time itself hit their target.

Yami inhaled as she empowered herself further with her aura. A yellow glow encircled the bombardment of energy she dished out. Still wishing they had a more concrete and logical battle plan than. "Hit him with all the things." But... she supposed she might as well try it. Ashy tapped into her training, and accessed as many of her magical diciplines at the same time as she could. Pointing at her target, devine beams, mystic ones and all sorts of flavours of magic pounded her foe one after another. She was still weaker than she would be had this battle occurred later perhaps and she would have more time to tap into those vast reserves, but she supposed this would simply have to do.

Though the comment wasn't really directed towards her, Etla decided to respond in Ihra's stead anyway, walking up to her and putting an arm around her shoulder. Though they looked about the same age despite Etla being created afterwards, the blonde Rainborn was noticeably shorter than her redhead counterpart, even if not by a wide margin. Naturally, this did very little to stop her from touching her elder sister's head.

"What are you talking about, Craig? We can show her around ourselves. It'll be so much fun!" She said excitedly, before turning towards Ihra. "Oh, Ihra, you should see the things I have seen! The cities are only the tip of the iceberg - that's a human expression, by the way. There are so many more things to see. Earth has these things called forests, and also the ocean, and even in the cities there's so much interesting stuff to see." The Rainborn prattled.

She then slowed down and eventually stopped altogether when a particular memory struck her, and her face lit up even more. "And humans have these things called donuts. You put them in your mouth and... and..." She paused, blinking. As she had never really had a concept of taste before coming to Earth, she really had no idea of how to describe the sensations, so eventually, she shook her head. "I can't describe it, but it's wonderful, Ihra."

---

Ihra frowned. Perhaps she was overreacting to the “dangers” of this new world. After all her sister seemed to have gained some powerful cores while here, so if anything went wrong she could protect them. Ihra felt she had been at least successful in finding Etla, though evidently she didn’t need her help. While that did make Ihra feel a little useless, for worrying about her little sister when Ihra herself had been scared by things that Etla laughed at. No wonder she didn’t take her seriously…

And Ultimately, Ihra was really curious. Even cautious Ihra had to admit, there was more to this world that perhaps might deserve a little more exploration. But… she had doubts. She attempted to summon her medical knowledge for help. But seems it came up only when it wanted to. “What do you mean? You’re talking about putting something in your mouth. Isn’t that going to choke you?” She questioned. Then paused. “I’d… be happy to go on this tour of earth though. I’m not sure what an iceberg is… and if this… city is any indication, I’m not sure if I should expect the worst.” She sighed.

As a new, clean set of armor appeared on Okarot, he responded to Lisa, "My name is Okarot, heir to the Saiyan throne." he said, his face growing slightly agitated, "I can tell he's awake. His energy signature has grown in power. Fortunately, it seems as though he's calmer than before. He simply attacked me out of nowhere. I assume that the Planet Trade Organization must have programmed him to attack any Saiyan on sight. The perfect machine for Frieza's plan to eradicate the Saiyans. But, clearly, he had not taken the legend of the Super Saiyan seriously enough."

Suddenly, Okarot heard a familiar voice. As he turned around, he smiled, "If it isn't the Golden Guardian?", he said, in a friendly tone, "Frieza was a challenge, I will admit. And, you would be correct in believing that I died, because I did the first time I tried to fight him. But, shortly after, a man called Mad Max used the Dragon Balls on Namek to bring everybody back who died to Frieza. In my second confrontation, Frieza pushed my anger to it's limits. And, it was at that point that I realized the legend of the Super Saiyan. Here, let me show you."

All of a sudden, a golden aura appeared around the Saiyan, and a flash of light flared momentarily, as his hair turned golden, and his eyes blue. "This is a Super Saiyan, and it increases my power by around fifty times," he said, his muscles growing slightly larger as a shockwave suddenly firing out around him and his hair spiked up slightly more, becoming less blocky and more defined. His aura became jagged and bioelecicity swirled around him, "This is a Super Saiyan 2." he said, a spark of electricity surging past his face, "It improves upon the former in every way. Speed, stamina and strength. It multiplies the last transformation's strength by two times, and my base form's strength by 100 times. But, I can still go even stronger from here. But, that form is new, and draws a lot of energy. I can't use it right away after using it so soon."

"Sadly, I'm not the Golden Guardian anymore. That title has been passed to my girlfriend when I lost my powers. Long story. I've since been dabbling in magic, and I must say that I've gotten quite good. Even if it's not as satisfying as braining someone with my knuckles. I've noticed you're quite a bit less hostile since we last met as well." He explained what happened to him in the past. He did miss his old powers, but for some reason didn't have the drive to get them back. It wouldn't be hard. With his magic, it would probably be even easier than it was before, but he just didn't want them anymore. It wasn't something he could explain.

He watched carefully as Okarot explained his transformations. "Huh. Interesting. The closest thing I can do is summon the powers of other magical beings for a few minutes. But that can be dangerous as some... Most of them are not friendly. Most of my fights are different. I can use my magic to mess with my opponent's senses. Make them see what I want them to see. Or curse them. Curses and hexes are always fun. That's the fun part about magic. Your imagination is the limit."

"Wait... you were on Namek?" She asked the Saiyan. She wasn't sure whether to smile or frown. On the one hand, it was a connection. On the other, Namek had been traumatic to say the least. She wasn't sure whether that trip or the one to the Alternate universe was worse. "I was there too." She remarked, and then memories came flooding back. "I teleported some dragon balls, teleported someones head off, didn't teleport in time to save Val from Frieza, but it was okay because she came back to life." Remarked Lisa, nodding. Then pausing. Regarding the newcomer.

"Oh. Sorry. Who are you?"

Sarah simply smiled when her suspicions proved true, and then glanced rather curiously at Samantha as she stated that she could easily see what things of interest the city had to offer to them. Shrugging, the eldest Grimm looked at her younger sister and nodded, before watching her walk back into the room and begin setting up a few things. After a few moments, Sarah walked back in as well, staying close to the wall, well out of the way and instructing Hanah to be quiet and do the same, in order to avoid interrupting or distracting Samantha during her rituals. She was the one who dealt with magic, and magic, at least in her experience, could be pretty unpredictable when mishandled (it had happened sometimes, but Samantha had a natural affinity for it, so the frequency decreased very quickly). She, too, stayed silent and simply watched, not quite knowing what was going on but trusting that it was something of use nonetheless.

When Samantha finished her ritual and turned to them, telling them of what she had seen, Sarah appeared to be deep in thought for a moment, before shrugging. "Well, it doesn't seem like a bad idea to me. All the better if there's food. I say we should pay a visit." She nodded at her sister.

"The Devils Den? That sounds awesome! Like the kind of place the grizzled heroes go to in comic books. Drowning their sorrows in drink and starting barfights... BARFIGHTS! I've never been in a barfight before." Spoke the wolf eared girl, practically panting from excitement. "I was to hit someone with a chair!" She declared simply. Like it was already going to happen and nothing was going to stop her from doing that. "And..." She then awkwardly turned to her sisters, giving a sweet, "innocent" smile. "You guys wouldn't mind revoking the whole. "No alcohol for Hanah" policy? Just this once?" She pleaded with her eyes.

Sarah sighed, clearly displeased that the conversation had come to this. Worst of all was that Hanah was smiling at them and doing the puppy eyes thing again. If the eldest Grimm could subdue men and women to her will with merely looking at them in the eye, Hanah's look was only slightly less effective in getting her what she wanted, and for a moment there the pale woman was sorely tempted to just let the wolf girl do as she pleased, but she knew better than to give in to such an impulse. After all, there was no telling what could happen if Hanah got drunk and had the brilliant idea to transform into her werewolf form; worse yet, there was no telling what could happen after she returned to her regular state, since she would be severely weakened and dizzy, a prime target for someone to take advantage of, assuming she could get away from her sisters' vigilant gaze anyway. Of course, it was unlikely that any of this would happen, given the nature of the Devil's Den, but Sarah didn't know this and Samantha didn't mention it, if she knew.

"Little flower, we've talked about this." Sarah said, at that moment seeming the very image of a kind and caring mother figure.

"If you touch so much as a single drop of alcohol I'm going to have to sequester Mister Teddy."

Hannah's eyes widened suddenly a the threat, her smile gone. She took a step back. fear in her eyes. "No. Don't take him. Please..." She begged. She suddenly looked down. "I'll be good. Just don't take him away from me." She said, the colour having drained from her face to the point where she began resembling her sister even more. "You don't understand. He's mine. He's mine. You can't take him. You can't!" She exclaimed, not shouting or screaming, but obviously distressed at the idea of her Teddy friend being taken. She had to resist the urge to transform, her memory drifting back to the day they got teddy. To the day when she had her in her arms. Even with her sisters, Teddy was sacred to Hannah. No one else could have him.

Etla blinked.

"Ihra... We don't breathe." She stated.

But then she shook her head. "Anyway, it doesn't matter. This city's just one of many, there's no reason you should have a bad time in every single one of them. I've had lots of fun here on Earth, personally. Besides, we'll show you the good stuff! Right, Craig?" The blonde Rainborn asked, turning towards the taller man, still smiling as she looked at him with boundless enthusiasm. She was truly thrilled to see her sister here on Earth with her, so spending some quality time with her was top priority right now, and if she could get her to get along well with Craig, then all the better.

Ihra paused, then nodded absently. "Right. We don't... Still though... It sounds strange. The last time I saw a Rainborn putting something in his mouth it was Erti. And we had to put it out in the end..." Ihra supposed some medical knowledge broke through. Respiratory systems actually made a surprising amount of sense to Ihra. Then she sighed. "Fine. I'll come. Youre just going to drag me to join in if I don't... Just like..." She paused. She flashed back to that incident. "Never mind." She added quickly.

Sarah very nearly flinched at her little sister's sudden change in demeanor, silently chiding herself for screwing up that badly as she watched Hanah step back and look down in fear. The eldest Grimm sister frowned, taking a step towards Hanah before stopping herself. If she approached too sudddenly she might cause more trouble, she reasoned, it was best to try to solve this with words. She hadn't expected that the teddy bear threat would make Hanah feel this upset and distressed, and that hadn't been her intention at all, but now there was nothing she could do about it, except fixing it of course.

"Hanah, it's alright." She said, approaching slowly. "I won't take him, I promise." She continued. "It was wrong for me to threaten you to take away the teddy, I'm sorry for that. But you have to understand, Hanah, that I just want you to be safe and I don't want anything to happen. That's why I don't want you to drink any alcohol, because I worry about you." She stated. By now she was close enough to touch her little sister, and at that moment, she pulled her sister into a tight hug. "So let's just go to that place and forget that this happened, okay? Do you forgive me?"

Hanah teared up slightly as she felt her sister hug her. Her slightly shorter arms wrapped around her sister, hugging her tightly. "Of course I forgive you. You're my big sister..." She spoke. She was slightly ashamed as she realised how much of her was tied to that bear. How much she couldn't let it go. But she needed it. And Teddy needed her. No one else cared about stuffed bears. No one would protect him like Hanah would, or take care of him like Hanah would, or love him like Hanah would. Just like how Sarah and Sam had taken care of her, she took care of teddy. "I... I understand. I just can't... can't let him go. He's my teddy."

She paused. "You can... borrow him. If you ever want. But you have to give him back. I'm not being selfish, I just need to know he's safe." She said simply. It was almost like he was a real person. Though of course Hanah knew he wasn't, but to her he represented something she couldn't let go of.

The young inventor smiled at Etla's enthusiasm. He would have preferred kissing, but showing her sister around would suffice, he supposed. "Yes, I suppose we can. Alright, let's get started. We humans put things in our mouth and digest them, in order to gain energy. Our body breaks the food(that's what these things are generally called) into energy, which our bodies use to run, talk, and so forth. Also, humans need to sleep, it's basically going in a state of unconsciousness in the night when we recover energy." Craig said, ordering a couple donuts before continuing. "These cities, as we call them, are places were humans live. There are houses, where we live, businesses, where we work, and shops, where we buy food, among other things. Buying is like trading, I suppose, we give currency which is proportional to the cost of what we want. Oh, and icebergs are simply chunks of ice, frozen water, that float in the oceans, large bodies of water." He stopped, giving Ihra time to digest that all and ask questions, while the waiter came up with their donuts, Craig handing over the money. "And here we are. Doughnuts. One of humanity's finest creations," he said, handing one to Etla and Ihra, before grabbing one and sinking his teeth into it.

Yavanníel mused on it for a second. "Puting a star just where Gatheniel was. It wouldn't get rid of the black hole, but it would empower Elen significantly, and she could even teleport to it, and move out. As for the black hole, I have an idea. The Stargates issue forth a vaporizing cloud. I believe that vaporizing cloud would vaporize the black hole. All we have to do is create a giant Stargate and engage it repeatedly until the entire black hole is destroyed!" she said excitedly.

The environmentalist sighed, putting a hand to her face and sinking into a chair. "What was he thinking?" she muttered to herself, before leaping up, longcoat flapping behind her, running off to tell the others. Gathering them, she tossed her phone in the middle of the table, letting them see it, giving them some background on Floyd and Roy's powers beforehand. "So, first objective is to free Roy, and get him out of there. Floyd never said that I had to come alone, and he ran when Katie showed up, showing that he can't take us. Katie, what I need you to do is to zip in there, grab him, and bring him back here. But you'll have to wait for me to engage Floyd first, so he's distracted. Cora, your job will be to provide backup for Katie, keep watch while she's freeing Roy. Make sure you two bring knives to cut the ropes. And the rest of the team can help me take care of Floyd. Any questions or alternate ideas?" Valancy asked, looking from face to face.

Katie nodded. "Though, There wont be any need for knives to cut the rope. I've been working on using my plasma powers to make constructs lately. So we should be cool." She spoke. "Also, I agree we should at least get an idea of what the location is like. Perhaps if they're any wires in there I can give the place a once over in half a nanosecond." She smiled. She was going to make sure no one got hurt. She had reafirmed her purpose. Though her smile faded when she realised the stakes, though she was still confident. She turned to Cora. "It should be cool teaming up with Cora agin."

[Charmera]

"Very funny." The Syper Saiyan muttered, glancing behind him at the gathered people waiting for some sort of confrontation. " There's no doubt that that extraordinary power was either me for a moment when I defeated the Legendary Super Saiyan, or was the Legendary Super Saiyan while he was kicking my ass." He said, muttering the last piece.

" Lis-Listen. Your surprisingly strong, and that's either c-cause for concern, or nervousness. People of your caliber either come here with thoughts of conquest or using the Dragon Balls, or come here attempting to settle down, yet at the same t-time, their a ticking time bomb. E-Explain while your here and I'll-" Dull pain shooting up his back was suddenly no longer dull, crippling pain sending spasms down his legs and lower back. Eyes rolling back into his head, he fell forward, his frame impacting the dirt lightly before bouncing slightly.

Le-Legendary Super Saiyan... What is that? You mean, this guy was fighting a Saiyan? A god damn Saiyan? An Earthling beating a Saiyan? LEGENDARY SUPER SAIYAN? Too many questions to handle right now, and way too many than I would expect. No to mention, this man just keeps dropping bombs of exposition and even more unheard things. Dragon Balls? And he didn't believe I was from Hera... This is just, darn.

"You know, you should be more polite and welcoming to strangers who want to help you!" I finally let loose and exclaimed. This was just infuriating - are all humans so paranoid? Apparently yeah, because the people behind the golden-haired fellow are all frightened and so on. I don't look that threatening, right? I'm not even an adult! I turned my head to the side and muttered:

"I was going to come here and fight this huge power level... I sensed you all the way from Hera, and this intrigued me. After all, back there I don't have many people to spar, but looks like this won't do either - you can barely stand! That's why I wanted to take you to the nearest medical point instead." On Hera, we have medical points all over the place, which is merely a single doctor in a stand who can give first aid and quickly fix up fighting injuries. I assumed something like that was also on Earth.

"Don't have Medical points here. Unfortunately." Spoke Claudia. "We have hospitals, doctors and some places where you can get magic beans which heal all ailments. Some people even have healing abilities. I have some, though they only work on me." She walked over to Hiroshi, looking at Itaku. She turned to Hiroshi, explaining her absence. "Sorry. Had to go vent the excess rage and power safely. I'm fine now." She spoke. Then gave Itaku a smile. "By the way. Welcome to earth." She spoke. Sighing, she felt rather drained to be honest. Though she was going to need to get Hiroshi some Sensu beans.

Saiyans... and an Earthling woman. This guy is a Saiyan , and yet he has golden hair... Maybe it's the 'Legendary Super Saiyan' thing he was talking about. 'Legendary Super Saiyan' is a really overly flamboyant name. Something a way too arrogant warrior would think if. I ignored the fact that all Saiyans are supposedly extinct, and focused on othee things.

"Oh, so NOW I'm an idiot?" If he wants to show off against me, fine! I stood in place and clenched my fists. After a few seconds of shouting, my aura bursted out and started flowing around me violently, turning light green, while my muscle mass increased dramatically, hair turned red and stood up and skin lighted up. Not to the point of breaking my clothes, though. But I was in Full Power form. Lightning was sparkling a bit too.

"I'm sorry about this whole mess," I spoke to Claudia, "but your man, husband, boyfriend or whatever is just... unbearable! I don't even know his name yet and he is already insulting me!"

"Wow. You'd b-be a go challenge for a Super Saiyan, that's for sure. But I've got a few more important questions for you. Like who are you? The Saiyans are believed to be extinct, who told you there was a few alive? And finally, how did you achiev this form of yours?" Hiroshi rasped, pulling himself to a hunched sitting position, his onyx hair fanning out against Claudias leg.

" From what I know of Herans. You don't travel alone, where is the rest of your squad? I-I see-swear to Kami if their wreaking havoc upon the planet I will choke some-someone." The Saiyan muttered, pointing an accusing finger at Itaku.

"Don't take it too personally. He's had a pretty rough day and has a lot of anger to vent still." She explained to Itaku. She brushed a hand through her red hair, sighing. Then frowned at HIroshi. "Though, do try to be a little more welcoming. The fact that a hulk has to be the voice of reason here is pretty ridiculous.' She inahled, looking down at her human form. "I suppose that's why I'm so reasonable." She mutter to herself. Then turned back to the Heran. "Though, it would make it a lot easier if you explained things a little more.

Ku stood impassible in the center of that dark battlefield, not flinching as he was torn apart by the work of the elements, by the powers of the mind, by the wonders of technology and by the miracles of magic. The Time Demon was shredded, destroyed, annihilated, obliterated, and yet, he said nothing, he did not scream; despite having felt pain before, he did not seem to feel pain now. He simply waited, until the attacks sent forth by the five guardians had been exhausted, and then, slowly but steadily, that creature of alien darkness, that demon of negative light, reformed in front of them, clearly affected by the barrage, to some degree, but also standing tall once again. It would have most likely appeared as a mockery of their efforts under different circumstances, but as it was, there was an air about the amorphous figure that left it clear beyond words that there was no more mockery to be had, no more playing around. He had said he had grown tired of the game, and he stood by his words now.

"THAT IS NOT ENOUGH!" The Time Demon screamed, before simultaneously appearing behind Yamirakkelis and in front of Tarasekannú, once more violating and defiling the rules of time in order to accomplish his goal. His fist impacted the chest of the magma beast, while his foot slammed against the back of the slender dragon, with much more force than he had ever used before, something that was soon confirmed when something fell to the ground after this attack.

Shards of broken scales.

The Time Demon, however, did not stop after that. He leaped after the flying drones, destroying each of them with infinite ease even as they continued to pelt him with projectiles, ignoring their attacks even as they tore through him, one of them managing to blow off his arm at the last moment before being undone. Rising even higher, Ku reached Aru and kicked her hard enough to dent her armor and sending her flying towards Ashyandra.

With that done, Ku turned towards the last remaining target, Hadrimmelis. "DO YOU KNOW WHY WE INVADED THIS PLACE?" The Time Demon said as he appeared next to the black dragon. She tried to crush him beneath her massive claw, but it was in vain, for he was apparently able to push back with greater force. "WE THRIVE ON NONEXISTENCE, BUT THEN WE FOUND YOUR UNIVERSE." Ku stated as he casually pushed away the dragon's leg and then moved to her head in less than a moment, tearing off one of her horns. "THIS CREATED A PARADOX, DRAGON. WHERE THERE IS EXISTENCE, THERE CAN BE NO TRUE NONEXISTENCE, AND AS WE CONCEPTUALIZED THIS TRUTH, WE FELT OURSELVES BEGIN TO STARVE SLOWLY." He stated as Hadrimmelis barely succeeded in shaking him off, only to feel his fist slam into her side, denting some of her scales. "THE ANSWER WAS EVIDENT. ANNIHILATE THAT WHICH EXISTS. REDUCE IT TO NOTHING, SO THAT NOTHING CAN BE." Ku said as he began pounding on Hadrimmelis with his fist, cracking more and more scales. But, against all odds, Hadrimmelis laughed.

"I can't believe you were so caught up in your speech that you did not notice." The dragon stated, prompting Ku to pause for a moment.

"WHAT?" The Time Demon inquired, feeling something unfamiliar. Puzzlement.

"Your arm." Hadrimmelis said, and at that moment, Ku noticed that, indeed, the arm that had been blown off by one of Aru'va's drones had never regenerated, the damage caused had never rewinded. The Time Demon attempted to bend the timestream to his will once again, to undo everything that had been done, but alas, he found that he was being blocked from doing so by an unknown force that he could not overcome.

"WHAT IS THIS FOUL TRICK?!" The Time Demon screamed in rage. At that moment, the ethereal, invisible yet perceptible mists that had been gathering at the fringes of the battlefield suddenly converged in front of the Time Demon, and there, floating in the air, was a deep red orb, glowing with bloody light.

"No foul play here, sir. Just doing my job." Responded a voice that would likely sound familiar to Aru. "Though I definitely have you to thank for it. You've made my job much easier, I'll give you that much." The voice continued, and if Ku had a face, it would be contorted in rage at that very moment.

"YOU! MORTAL CREATURE! YOU CANNOT BE HERE, YOU WERE UNDONE! WHO ARE YOU?!" The Time Demon howled.

"Addraku, the Vessel, the Weapon. I have many names, most of them I've learned about recently, but if I had to pick a favorite, I'd say that my favorite is definitely Chrono." The voice responded, and suddenly, something appeared to hoist Ku in the air, as though strangling him. "If you're asking for my given name, that would be Gilbert, or Addraku, depending on who you ask. Speaking of which, do you know what Addraku means?"

Suddenly, Ku was flung into the ground with such force that some of the anti-light forming his body seemed to just up and disappear, and the Time Demon grunted audibly, signifying that he had felt pain from the blow and was struggling to get up after the damage suffered. In the space where the red orb floated, stood a man who had borne the Time Demon within himself and had been torn apart by his power. Now he was whole once again, dressed as he had been before his own death, save for the lack of a black patch over his hollow eye, which now bore a glowing crimson orb.

"It means demon slayer." The young man stated, his mocking tone immediately dying as his face turned serious, further darkened by the glowing orb.

"HOW?!" The Time Demon demanded. Gilbert's stern expression didn't change, but one could tell he was pleased.

"See, I was hoping you would ask that. My body could have been destroyed, but I could still see and hear everything that went on afterwards - it turns out that nobody bothered to remember that my consciousness had been bound to the Dragon Force as a means of drawing you towards me." The young man explained as he slowly approached Ku, who visibly grew weaker and weaker with every step that the demon slayer took. "And of course, what the blonde lady said was true: you did what you did because I was dumb enough to feed you like that. But it turns out that your meddling worked a little too well, because you weren't the only one who grew stronger with Earth's death. And as you had stayed with me for far longer than you should have, I took the one thing that gives you power in this universe: your assimilation of the metaphysical entity of time. I lost my body, momentarily, but I gained your ability and every bit of power that you gained yourself, not to mention I was made to counteract and neutralize your powers once they had been assimilated. Which means that in front of me, you are effectively powerless." The young man finished with a didactic air and then nonchalantly kicked Ku away.

"YOU FOOL!" The Time Demon said after recovering a bit, attempting to get to his feet. "THIS CHANGES NOTHING. THIS WORLD WILL BE DESTROYED SO THAT WE CAN FEED AGAIN." Ku bellowed, but suddenly, his remaining arm was blown off as well, this time by an unseen force.

"I forgot to say: I have some other neat powers as well. Turns out being bound to a cosmic force is rather interesting." Gilbert stated, before turning his back on Ku and walking back towards the wounded party. "Now then," he said, snapping his fingers and tapping into Ku's power, which was now his own. Instantly, all the damage taken by the group was rewinded, and they were all back to their peak, as if the battle had just begun. Satisfied with his work, he cast a glance back at Ku, who was writhing in pain now. He snapped his fingers again, and the Time Demon was once more hoisted into the air, all power visibly stripped from him and cast away as all the time he had stolen from the battlefield was given back.

"For all your crimes against the universe, Ku, I sentence you to death." He stated even as he continued walking, coming to a stop next to Aru and turning around to look at the Time Demon. He shoved his hands into the pockets of his coats and glanced at the Rantu. "Would you do the honors?"

Aru smiled lightly at Gilbert as she saw him make his speech. She was glad to have him back, suprised, shocked yet very glad. She listened as he spoke. So... Gilbert is his real name. And I got it wrong... She thought to herself, then did a mental shrug. I'm still calling him Chrono. He seems to like it. And I think it fits. She reasoned to herself. Before Chrono asked her to do the honours and wipe the stain of Ku from the universe forever. Aru smiled. He could not have asked a better person. If there was one thing Rantu were known for more than their intelligence, it was perhaps their love for flashy, over the top annihilation. Only complete and total obliteration would do now.

She popped out her drones, who had been reset since Chrono repaired them. And so each of them armed themselves with one of each of Aru's weapons that weren't the bubble gun weapons charging up as they spoke. Aru then decided to aim both her weapons at Ku, both Annihilation cannons. "I would say Yandari Da demon, but that would imply that I will be seeing you in the afterlife." She spoke. "But, honestly I hope I never have to see you again. So I shall settle with: Good Bye Ku."

And with that, her entire arsenal blasted at Ku, creating a glorious sight to behold as the beams, blasts and projectiles enveloped their target. The utter Annihilation was likely way more than necessary, and had they been anywhere else the planet they stood on would be long vaporized. But it was the only way Aru could think to send off someone they had been so bitterly fighting.

Kandra didn't feel cold among the frozen tundra of Siberia. Tamerianians weren't exactly known for being susceptible to things like warm, cold or hot. They tended to happen to other races more than they did to the sons and daughters of Tameran. But they at least felt it. Kandra felt nothing but the same warm kindling within her body since the experiment. Like a warm flame keeping her cozy, or a nuclear power plant ready to blow. Of course, Kandra did not think it was the latter, and only assumed that the experiment had, at best, achieved the former. She frowned. She had been disappointed when she left and disappointed now. But what was she supposed to say? That she had participated only on the off chance it might make her stronger? To prepare for some unknown force that may or may not be after her? It was insanity. She was lucky to leave alive, considering the amount of Gamma radiation she was exposed to. Now... she was hiding. She wasn't sure why. She had never been a coward, but she had never had to face an enemy so intagible and hypothetical. The unknown was frighting.

She exhaled, then put her hood up. A stick in her hand as she made her way down the mountain to her small tent.

Valka Silverhand
Remembrance

All of Asgard stood on the banks of the shore, looking up, at the pink, falling sunset. No word was spoken, and their faces for grim. For today was a day of remembrance. The All-Mother of Asgard stood upon a rock before them, Mjolnir tightly grasped, and for a time, she too was silent, looking across the bay, solemn. And then she spoke.

"Today, all throughout the heavens, Asgard is silent. The thunder has gone silent, for many a great warrior has fallen. They did not fall in vain, for the battle was won and we shall remember their names for eternity. They died worthy. Worthy of praise, worthy of the halls of Valhalla, worthy of the greatest of honors. Worthy they were, even, to lift Mjolnir, I suspect. They died as warriors, with a shining sword in hand, a battle cry on their lips, and the light of Asgard shining in their eyes. They died free."

"Let us give them the honor they deserve, for even now, they make their way to that shining hall of warriors, Valhalla, to feast and drink, awaiting that final day. Their journey upon this world is ending, but the story never ends. Let us hold fast to those memories of them, and chant their names in their hearts into battle. For it was an honor to fight beside them. Warriors were they, but brothers, sisters, fathers, mothers, friends, they were also. Let their brows shine across the stars, as a beacon, a warning of the might of Asgard. Truly, my friends, they were the stuff of legend."

And then the Silverhand spoke the names of the fallen, and at each name their loved ones put their armored bodies into a longboat. Every one of the slain had a sword grasped on their chest, and then their boats were pushed into the bay. And last of all, Thor Odinson prepared the boat bearing Odin to Valhalla, though his body was not there. A cask of elderberry wine laid in it, and beside the cask was a sword Valka had wrought.

And when that had been done for every last one, Valka lifted Mjolnir, the thunder booming, the lightning crackling across the pink sky. And the Asgardians fell silent once more, Valka lifting a bow she had summoned, an arrow already drawn, its point ablaze. She bent the bow, and released, the blazing arrow arching in the sky like a star, and landing in Odin's boat.

Then every Asgardian did the same, putting their arrow blaze using the tray of burning pitch and firing. Their arrows flew true and the children of Asgard stood upon the shore, watching, remembering the sight. And they did not leave until every boat had disappeared from sight.

"Hello, old friend." Spoke a voice from within Valka's mind. An armoured figure moved up next to her, the figure of Aeshandra. Her "head" turning to the All Mother of Asgard. Aeshandra looked worse off than she did when they first met. Though it was less damage, but more a tangible stress and worry. "I heard of the many losses you have suffered recently. And the attack on your home. I am truly sorry you had to weather such adversity." She spoke, "You have been handling the position of All Mother quite well so far."

"Unfortunately, time is short and I have to talk to you. Since you still have a link to our species within your mind. There are several things that I need to talk to you about, seeing as they now concern you too..." She then paused. "But firstly... have you been experiencing any headaches? Visions? Hallucinations?

Elena Galadera/Batgirl
The Oncoming Storm

Arriving at Gotham General, where the Commissioner had sent up as his base of operations, Elena walked in, finding Gordon after a quick search. "Good to have you up and about," she said, speaking in her normal voice. Although he didn't look in perfect health, he was standing and barking out orders.

The bespectacled man glanced over and saw her, "Batgirl. Good to see you. I'm guessing you have some things to tell me." She nodded, bringing him to a empty room, closing the door, before beginning. "Batman is still missing, and the rest of the Bat family as well. I've searched multiple times, but I've come up empty no matter what avenue I've pursued. It's like they disappeared off the face of the earth," sighing and rubbing her head.

"Things are bad out there, as I'm sure your officers have told you. Arkham got blown up, which means nearly every villain who isn't dead is loose right now. Including the Joker. There's the Defenders, a gang that's seized the North. They'll heavily armed and organized, but they are surprisingly helping... for now. However, one could argue that they've made things worse. I was invited to talk with their Commissioner, and I'll try and get them to go legitimate, as you need all the officers you can get. Vannis and Two-Face are dead. Vannis ordered his men to start shooting at every being in sight after he heard the news of Two-Face's murder. That was done by a superpowered villain named Salis, who controls portals. Vannis was taken out by another Mask, as they're starting to call them, working for a corporation called Knightstone, who are basically mercenaries looking for money. They'll feed off the chaos to rake in as much money as possible from the GCPD and others. And so, under my watch, Gotham is out of control. I've asked the JL and the Avengers for aid."

Gordon looked at her with a worried eye. "You look tired, more tired than I do. If only he was here." he said, both of them knowing whom Gordon was referring to. "Indeed," was the reply. "I've affected so little change as Batgirl, in fact, things are worse off. Most of the villains don't fear a girl dressed up like a Bat, and that word, Bat, has almost become derogatory. The Bats aren't a symbol of hope to people, not anymore. Gotham needs a Bat while he's gone, but it also needs a hero. A hero who's proactive instead of reactive, a hero who represents day instead of night, a hero who represents hope instead of fear. I don't need to beat up Gotham's villains over and over again, I need to find out what's making them into villains, what is making people join the gangs, and stop that. I need to be able to work with law enforcement in the light instead of running from them and meeting in secret. And I can't be Batgirl for that. I need to be someone else, something else." she said, holding a Stormlight sphere in her hand. "Turn on the TV's in a couple of hours." she said, placing the Stormlight sphere on the table before him.

"So what are you going to call yourself?" he asked, looking at the girl who gazed back at him, standing in the doorway.

"Stormlight."

"Hello, old friend." Spoke a voice from within Valka's mind. An armoured figure moved up next to her, the figure of Aeshandra. Her "head" turning to the All Mother of Asgard. Aeshandra looked worse off than she did when they first met. Though it was less damage, but more a tangible stress and worry. "I heard of the many losses you have suffered recently. And the attack on your home. I am truly sorry you had to weather such adversity." She spoke, "You have been handling the position of All Mother quite well so far."

"Unfortunately, time is short and I have to talk to you. Since you still have a link to our species within your mind. There are several things that I need to talk to you about, seeing as they now concern you too..." She then paused. "But firstly... have you been experiencing any headaches? Visions? Hallucinations?

The All-Mother looked to her friend, a slight smile on her face. "Thank you. It seems Asgard is the target of many an attack. But those fallen shall be remembered," she said, looking to the stone wall where she had carved the names of the slain.

"Aye, indeed I have. Visions of the Vokoronians when you had bodies, and at times I had thought that you were there, but you were not." she said.

Aeshandra paused for a moment, then nodded. "That... is interesting." She remarked. "Most have visions of the future the first time they have such visions... but considering the recent news." Aeshandra replied. "It is possible... that what you saw could be the future. Very recently, one of us has regained her body. And if the prophecy is true, then likely more will follow."

"But... that can wait for at least a bit. These visions can be... controlled. With some meditation techniques and some magic you should be able to relegate this stuff to your dreams."

[Charmera]

Aeshandra paused for a moment, then nodded. "That... is interesting." She remarked. "Most have visions of the future the first time they have such visions... but considering the recent news." Aeshandra replied. "It is possible... that what you saw could be the future. Very recently, one of us has regained her body. And if the prophecy is true, then likely more will follow."

"But... that can wait for at least a bit. These visions can be... controlled. With some meditation techniques and some magic you should be able to relegate this stuff to your dreams."

"That is good news, then, very good news." she said, smiling. "Future events. The potential for that is broad." she said, living it at that, not having decided whether it was for good or ill. She nodded at the information. After all it wouldn't be good if she received a vision in the midst of a battle. "Have I gained some of the abilities of the Vokoronian race by my link?" she asked.

"Indeed. Controlling it has given us imense benefits, yet at some cost." She paused, "It... is good news. Though the prophecy of which I speak has... some dire warnings to impart. I envy the returned Vokornian for what she has gained, but not for the responsibility she must soon bare." She remarked. "And if I know my sister, responsibility is not something she wears well..."

When asked about abilities, Aeshandra paused again. "Well, you will have access to untapped magical potential within. You will be given visions of things to come, of course, as we already said. You will have telekinisis. Theoretically, you should also be able to leave your own body, seperating your spirit from it. She then shrugged. "I could be wrong. No non Vokornian has ever been inducted this way before. We can rule out most of the abilities we once had, since you're not born Vokornian.

[Charmera]

Hungry.....Cold....

This was the only thought that the newly arrived Majin could comprehend as she stood in the middle of the empty village in Siberia. She had come to this planet two days ago in order to recuperate from her fight with that unknown warrior. Luckily for Sesa, the stranded Majin didn't have to look far for a food source. Near where she crashed, a small village laid out before her. Children were playing in the snow, and adults talked amongst themselves. Others stared at a nearby TV as though it was the only one in the village; it probably was. Grinning, she made her way towards the group of adults, and as one turned to point at her and scream, she pointed her hand out towards them. Sesa was quite peckish.

It had been two days since she had taken care of this village, and Sesa could tell she still wasn't back to full strength. Given how much of her power she sacrificed to escape death, who knew if it would even return to her on its own? There was no way to be sure, and it would be dangerous to remain in this weakened state if that warrior was to find her. No, she would have to regain her strength the way she had been all these years. This planet would sate her hunger, and its warriors would become a part of her. A greater being to be feared. As the fearsome Majin swallowed the last of her candy, she started her trek out of the village and down the crudely constructed road. Though, not before she blasted away the remnants of buildings with a basic Ki blast.

Kandra got up, suddenly hearing the sound of a large explosion nearby. She frowned. The village she had went to was likely under attack. While she was by no means a hero, she had amazing powers and had little incentive to use them for humans. She was a tad bit cold and callous when it came to human lives, but had masked this well. But this seemed like it might be interesting. So she should at least investigate and see if there was anyone or anything worth fighting there. Besides, it'd help prove to herself that what she was doing was not true cowardice.

She moved towards the village with some speed. Flying towards the village and descending upon it at supersonic speeds. Sending snow flying when she landed, her hood being thrown back as she looked at her foe. Dark blue energy gathering in her hands.

"You know how hard it is to find a village out here with a TV?" She spoke simply, deadpanning it. Her eyes set on the pink thing she saw before her. She was quite taken aback by it. She wasn't sure what it was.

I sighed. Breathed in, then out. Calm down, me. Feel better? Neither am I.

The worst people are those who turn the conversation away from what was talked about before into a bragging contest. I didn't even talk about the enemy he faced before, or at least, that was not the point of my conversation. He still talked about it and just had to inform me that his daughter died. I'm not happy about it, but was there really a need to even bring it up? Ugh...

"Look, there was no reason to make this into a bragging contest." I spoke, with clear frustration in my voice. "Yeah, your people need to say how you can do that or that, drop exposition bombs and inform me about your dead family members. Saiyans have a lot of complexes. But I came here to fight, not listen about how you can ascend to that or that. I bet all those transformations wouln't matter anyway in a fight against me, or an another Heran. If we have nothing else to talk about and you don't need any help, I'll just leave."

Black eyes widening, the Hybrid dead panned, scratching the back of his head as she spoke.

"Y-You just came here to fight, fight me? Well I can honestly say if that's true it's the first time a visitor to this planet had come to fight me, instead of ruin my life or someone's else's. Once I get healed, sure, I'll take you up on that fight, I haven't fought someone in a spar in awhile, I mostly fight for my life anymore." He said,mapping a finger against his chin as he turned to Claudia.

"I need to get healed up, and so does Tomia. Then things can return to normal." Hiroshi sighed with a kind smile.

"Good." Replied Claudia, reasoning they would be able to bring Tomia back with the dragon balls. Remembering Tomia's death and the battle triggered Claudia's instincts and transformation. Her eyes widened as her skin turned red, suddenly increasing greatly in size. She was instantly much taller. About 9 feet tall. Her power level would also increase, for those that could sense such things. Though there would be slight fluxations to it. She exhaled flame, sighing. "Well that didn't last very fucking long. So much for control." She muttered. Then grabbed Hiroshi, picking him up and cradling him and turned to the Heran.

"You want to fight my boyfriend right?" She spoke. "You might as well come with us to the... lookout. Once he's got the sensu bean he's going to be in condition to fight right away." She continued. "Heck, if you feel like it. You could even fight me."

[Charmera]

Cora was shocked when Valancy called the team over and showed them the video of Roy being held captive. She suddenly got angry at this jerk who was threatening her team and hurting innocent people. She listened to Valancy's plan and nodded. "I'm in Valancy, let's take this guy down. I'll have Katie's back when she's going after Roy. But maybe we should have her scout the location first. This seems like the kind of guy who would have tricks up his sleeve." Cora said to her friend and teammate.

Meanwhile the abandoned building had become a warzone. Automated turrets have been set up at all the wondows. There were also heavily armed men patrolling every floor, some even having RPGS and sub machine guns. The entrances were rigged with sensor explosive that if the did not detect the senors held by the guards, the explosives would detonate. On the 8th floor, Floyd was waiting with a special surprise of his own while his traitor adopted son sat tied to a chair, bloodied and beaten with explosives strapped to his chest.

Katie sighed. "Anyway, we don't have much time. I'll go scout the place out now. Then I'll be back and I'll tell you what to look out for." She remarked. In a heartbeat, she was at the building, having become a stream of electrons. Quickly "casing the joint" she saw every turrent and every sensor. And the bomb strapped to Roy's chest. That made her concerned, but she didn't let it stop her from coming back to the group, reforming into physical form. "He's got Roy strapped to a chair with a bomb, and he's been beating him pretty bad." She remarked. Then went on to give a detailed description of the building, or as detailed as even she could manage from memory. She was determined not to let Roy die and charged by a desire to protect everyone in the JQ family.

[Charmera]

Akari cocked her head. Confused at Garnets confusion. "Yes. I am actually." She remarked, then her eyes widened. "Oh right." She remarked, remembering the obvious racial differences between her and the Kitsune. She shrugged. "It's... a long story. I'll let Masami explain." She remarked.

Meanwhile the Kitsune nodded to Oni, and then smirked at Garnet's response. "I knew all that. It's simply considerate to ask a friend their opinion at times like these. Don't you agree?" She asked, then shrugged, her face becoming more serious. "Glad to know you're on board though. Your companionship and support has been immeasurably invaluable to me."

Azami spoke then, after yawning. "This would be cute if you weren't wasting my time." She remarked. "Do we have a deal or not fox?"

Masami turned back to Azami, nodding.

"Good. Akari. I assume you're going to be accompanying them?"

Akari nodded too. "Yes Aunt Azami. I will be." She had a look of determination.

"Very well. Your target is a group in Tokyo known as the Red Fang. We're not yet sure of their purpose. But they have been kidnapping many humans and innocent Yokai. Between the four of you, this shouldn't be too difficult. Considering Masami's tracking skills, finding them shouldn't be too hard."

"Any questions?"

Taro
Taro looked to Garnet with a raised eyebrow,
Someone seems to be slightly testy . . . I wonder if she's always like that.
He thought while he listened to Azami outlining the details of the job at hand. He thought it strange that they were hired for this task so quickly, but it seemed like Azami was not picky when it came to her labour.
"The spirit you mentioned . . . Azami-sama."
He said, pausing slightly as he considered what to call her. Thankfully Akari had named her.
"What area is it in? And what form of attacks does it launch? And, if I may, should we expect possession?"
He asked curiously as he felt his kabuki mask hanging from his belt. He sincerely hoped the enchantments had survived the millennium of slumber.
"I can track astral creatures, and neutralize possession. Not to mention I can rend the creature even when it believes itself untouchable. But every hunter needs information."
He explained and bowed his head respectfully. There was no need to insult the neko that had nearly slain them.

Azami shrugged. "Honestly, we're not too sure about the spirit. It was once a benevolent one which tended to the gardens and kept the land safe from those who would intrude on it. But... recently she has changed. She's lived for centuries and the lack of reverence and respect humans have for the land has taken it's toll on her mind." The Nekomata remarked. Giving Garnet a passing look, as if she was one to blame for this. Of course it had no visible malice, but one could detect that anyways. "Of course, who wouldn't go insane having to clean up after the messes of humans?"

"But she is a powerful spirit, and it would not do having her fester with corrupted power and wipe the world clean of life or something similarly dramatic. So it would be best if we either nip this in the bud..."

---

Garnet raised her hand once the non-attractive kitsune was done speaking. "I have one." She stated. "You speak of the Red Fang. I know you're saying they've been kidnapping people and you don't know why, but isn't there anything more you know about them? What kind of people they have working for them, what to expect and such?" She asked, lowering her hand afterwards and then simply glancing around and scratching her head, giving a little shrug.

"I mean, you're probably right that it won't be too difficult for us, but it never hurts to be prepared, right?" She shrugged again.

"We do actually have more information on them human. They seem to be comprised of five Yokai known as the five storms. Each one is in control of some natural phenomenon. Oyobi of the Rain, Jinzen of the Thunder, Akira of the Lightning, Yami of the Wind and Yura of the Frost. They are all repeat offenders of Yokai law and threaten to reveal our presence to the world at large."

"Now, if there are no more questions.." She spoke, walking to the wall and putting a hand on in, creating a large portal. On the other side was tokyo. "You can all get started with the first of your tasks."

[Charmera]

"Indeed. Controlling it has given us imense benefits, yet at some cost." She paused, "It... is good news. Though the prophecy of which I speak has... some dire warnings to impart. I envy the returned Vokornian for what she has gained, but not for the responsibility she must soon bare." She remarked. "And if I know my sister, responsibility is not something she wears well..."

When asked about abilities, Aeshandra paused again. "Well, you will have access to untapped magical potential within. You will be given visions of things to come, of course, as we already said. You will have telekinisis. Theoretically, you should also be able to leave your own body, seperating your spirit from it. She then shrugged. "I could be wrong. No non Vokornian has ever been inducted this way before. We can rule out most of the abilities we once had, since you're not born Vokornian.

"What is this prophecy, and how did you receive it?" she questioned, interested to see what it entailed. "I shall have to try those abilities then, and develop then." She walked a little with Aeshandra, strolling the streets of Asgard."Did you come to Asgard for any other reason?" she asked.

The Reclaimer arrived back at the GCD Headquarters, where the Commissioner had recently returned to from Blackgate. Entering the Commissioner's office, he began, "Commissioner? I have a report on South side's situation. They need-"
"Everything." The Commissioner interrupted, bringing a hand to his temple.
"Sir?"
"They need everything. Just like the elderly home on Sixth and Ashfall, just like the clinic on Fifth and Seventh, just like the civilians lined up hourly outside to complain about their water, their electricity, their damn bedbugs. Dammit, Retlyer, I don't have- I can't have everything." He sighed. "This city is going to be the end of me- Of all of us. And two minutes later, they'll have forgotten our names, and all our work will have been for nothing."

Retyler was silent for a moment. He walked up and sat down in the chair across from the Commissioner's desk. "Commissioner, Gotham City is a thankless city. Hell, when the Batman got started, all the GCPD did was try and shoot him out of the sky. But now- Listen to the people. The names of those who do good in this city never leave their minds- Never leave their lips. The Batman. Gordon. The GCPD. Robin. Batgirl, Batwoman, Nightwing. The people of Gotham will remember their names for decades to come. When I first joined the GCD, I did it with reservations and nervousness- How could gang members do what the GCPD couldn't? Let's ask the people of Gotham, Commissioner. Let's ask the people of Gotham what name is on their lips now, what name holds them through the night. The Gotham City Defenders do. You do. No, we don't have everything. We make do with minimal supplies, and we do it damn well. That elderly home, without us, would've been burned to the ground by gangsters. The Clinic would've been ransacked, and the civilians wouldn't have homes to go back to if they were even alive." Retyler paused. "Yeah, maybe this city will be the end of us. But we always knew it would. And two minutes later, the people will cry for us and cheer our names. You've done good, Commissioner. You are a good man, and Gotham is better for it."

After a few moments of silence, Retlyer rose, exiting the office. "And Sir? The Batsignal on the roof is ready."

Elena looked up at the GCD's headquarters, having driven there from Gotham General. They were helping, that was for sure, but she didn't know if they had any other motives, and a large contingent of armed gang members who controlled the North of Gotham was worrying to say the least. Shrugging to herself, she knocked on the door, hoping to talk to this Commissioner.

"It was one of the first one of our kind recieved from our visions, though there has been much debate about whether or not his madness clouded his judgement. He had lost much during the civil war, and we feared that might have clouded his judgement. Especially considering some of his actions." Remarked Aeshanadra. She suddenly tigthened up. "I would give anything for this to be real. For us to have a chance at getting our bodies back. But..."

"The prophecy speaks of three beings. One who might have the spirit of Vokor within. One whom will shepard our race to him and one who... may destroy us all." She spoke. "Someone known as... the snake..."

"Tell me... have you heard of the Old ones?"

[Charmera]

Kandra got up, suddenly hearing the sound of a large explosion nearby. She frowned. The village she had went to was likely under attack. While she was by no means a hero, she had amazing powers and had little incentive to use them for humans. She was a tad bit cold and callous when it came to human lives, but had masked this well. But this seemed like it might be interesting. So she should at least investigate and see if there was anyone or anything worth fighting there. Besides, it'd help prove to herself that what she was doing was not true cowardice.

She moved towards the village with some speed. Flying towards the village and descending upon it at supersonic speeds. Sending snow flying when she landed, her hood being thrown back as she looked at her foe. Dark blue energy gathering in her hands.

"You know how hard it is to find a village out here with a TV?" She spoke simply, deadpanning it. Her eyes set on the pink thing she saw before her. She was quite taken aback by it. She wasn't sure what it was.

Sesa snapped around, not anticipating the arrival of a foe with a power level this high, and definitely not in what seemed to be in the middle of nowhere. Did this planet have warriors such as this one even in its more desolate areas? If so, the power she could accumulate on this rock would be more than enough to once more confront the man who had slighted her, but if there was any sense of unity among these warriors, then Sesa would have to be more subtle with her encroachment.

"Is that what the screen those humans were gathered around was called? If that was all they had to look forward to in their days, then I should think I did them a favor by giving them a greater purpose." Sesa explained. It was what her creator had told her when she first protested the killing of the laughably weak. They would be immeasurably happy in the next life with knowing they had furthered the ascension of an ultimate being. Sesa put her hands on her hips and walked closer to the Tameranian in question.

"Now then...lets become one...", she muttered seductively.

"Yeah. I'd rather not." She extended a hand and sent out a blast of blue energy. "If it's okay with you, I'm quite fine not being part of any "greater purpose" you have in mind. I have no desire to be a stepping stone. Not for you. And not for anyone." She remarked. She couldn't guess the specifics of Sesa's powers, but becoming one with a pink woman doesn't sound like the best idea for her. Perhaps she had some sort of absorption powers? it was as good a guess as any considering the lack of bodies of the villagers and why she would attack a defenseless village. "Instead. How about we introduce each other? I'm Kandra." She spoke. Around the Tameranian the air was getting colder. She was determined to survive. To not let things thing get the best of her.

Suddenly she sent out another blast of blue, but unknown to both of them it was a beam of frost which would freeze nearly anything it touched.

[Charmera]

Zephy

No matter how much Zephy tried to remember where mister Fishy could be she could not remember, truth be told she could barely remember what earth looks like having flown over the ocean for several hours. But the simple idea she could not find her friend infuriated her "Zephy want her Fishy!" winds picked up at unbelievable speed and were being flung in every direction, causing destruction on some nearby islands and causing the beginnings of tidal waves. She kept flying at incredible speeds in random directions, carrying destruction away from the ocean and in the direction of land, occupied land.

Ember

Ember was in her human form, just walking the streets of metropolis, no idea what to do. She needed to put on a show, make herself known, but what? Putting on a show is easier said than done and wandering to far from the island would be a bad idea. Trying to break my head over the solution, the solution found me. A store selling all kinds of electronics had all its TV's on and all the TVs turned to a crisis channel warning about some being headed this way creating massive destruction with air. Best way to get attention fast is go where people are al ready looking, lets beat up that person, whoever that is. And just like that I took off, headed towards the coast to meet this bringer of harm, hopefully still over the water. Destruction and chaos are good for getting attention, but to much and it scares your audience away.

Aqua felt the water cry out in pain. Or... splash hard. Nothing quite dramatic as crying out, but she could feel the disruption in the water. In the ecosystems of the ocean. In all the various things effected by Zephy's rampage. They were all connected, and she was in the middle, so she could feel it all. Aqua stood up, looking to the dragon, Azure, she had to babysit. "It's not right! It feels wrong for someone to disrupt the water like that!" She ranked, then saw Azure's look. She sighed. "...What? I'm not going to do anything about it. It's not my problem." Azure held his judging look. Aqua sighed. "You're right. Your mother could be involved. Fine. But We're not getting involved. Got it?" Azure made a sound she assumed was a yes and Aqua smiled, climbing on his back.

Tina, meanwhile, was staring at a large wave about to crash into her any Myosai. She frowned. "How the heck did that happen?" She muttered. The Majin had stuck with her for some reason while she had gone looking for Zephy, Aqua and Ember. She remembered them, so she wanted to find them once more. "That could be one of two people..." She muttered, seemingly apathetic to the encroaching wall of water.

[Charmera]

"Nice ring, Kylie," Val responded as Katie went off. "So, can you use both simultaneously?" she asked, looking at the two rings on her fingers.

She frowned at Katie's report. "That's not good at all. So, change of plan, we'll have to take go floor to floor, taking out each level before going up. Kylie, your main job will have to be disarming the various guns and explosives, and making sure nothing goes off. Cora and Katie, use your super speed to take care of them quickly, and then proceed to Roy and Floyd and try to take him out. I'll try and take out some of the turrets, along with the armed men, before going after Floyd as well. Stay in communication with one another and be careful. They'll be shooting to kill." Valancy said, shrugging on her coat, charging her skin to hardened wood.

"Yup! I made a storm of animals, tools, and bicycles to beat a guy who could copy anything. I'll tell you guys after we save Roy." Kylie listened to Katie detail the building, and then to Val's plan.

"Gotcha! I can cover them with constructs and make them not move! Easy-peasy." Kylie donned her GL uniform, still unaffected by the yellow ring, and brought her hands into a boxing stance. "Let's go get 'em! Lead the way, Katie-ay!"

Cora
Cora frowned when Katie reported that Roy was in bad condition. Cora felt bad, he seemed like a nice kid and they needed to save him. She nodded when Kylie said she was willing to help. She then nodded at Valancy's revised plan. "Alright Valancy, sounds good. Katie, we can fuse if you want. We'll be faster that way. Or you can fight on your own. Either way is fine with me." She said to her best friend as they prepared to leave.

Katie smiled at the idea of fusing. "Sure thing!" Not giving Cora a chance to change her mind, though even if she had given her that chance Katie wasn't sure she would have taken it. Cora has never objected to fusing. She wondered if the android enjoyed it as much as she. "We'll take out the turrents together. They shouldn't be able to even get close to hitting you now!" She boasted. "Lets kick some ass and save the freaking day!"

The young inventor smiled at Etla's enthusiasm. He would have preferred kissing, but showing her sister around would suffice, he supposed. "Yes, I suppose we can. Alright, let's get started. We humans put things in our mouth and digest them, in order to gain energy. Our body breaks the food(that's what these things are generally called) into energy, which our bodies use to run, talk, and so forth. Also, humans need to sleep, it's basically going in a state of unconsciousness in the night when we recover energy." Craig said, ordering a couple donuts before continuing. "These cities, as we call them, are places were humans live. There are houses, where we live, businesses, where we work, and shops, where we buy food, among other things. Buying is like trading, I suppose, we give currency which is proportional to the cost of what we want. Oh, and icebergs are simply chunks of ice, frozen water, that float in the oceans, large bodies of water." He stopped, giving Ihra time to digest that all and ask questions, while the waiter came up with their donuts, Craig handing over the money. "And here we are. Doughnuts. One of humanity's finest creations," he said, handing one to Etla and Ihra, before grabbing one and sinking his teeth into it.

"Di...Digestion?" She asked tenatively. She paused. "Oh. I should have explained. My core gives me the ability to heal as well as vast amounts of medical knowledge which sometimes comes into the fore." She explained. Ihra had a smile on her face, one of pride. She really liked this core. It was so suited to her, as all she had every wanted to do was help people. And now she could. Though... she still felt somehow useless.

She shook such thoughts, wondering why she kept coming back to them. "The... trading... like a swap? So if I want Etla's doughnut I would swap it for my own?" She asked. Attempting to use a real life example so she could understand it better. "Large bodies of water... we have water... or rain at least. It's good to know this world at least has that." She remarked.

She bit into the doughnut. There was a small smile on her face as she tasted it, then a look of confusion. She opened her mouth to speak but found herself merely jamming more of the doughnut into her mouth and tearing it apart with her teeth. "What is this...?" She paused. She had no words. Even her medical encyclopedia decided to fail her. She wasn't sure what it was doing but she liked it. "What... It's... good?" She shrugged and devoured it completely.
