Reality's Bane (IC/Open)

[Aterrian Union]

Lucas looks at her with an unamused expression, but right as he speaks a loud crack echoes. With lightning-quick reflexes Lucas creates a portal in front of the First Citizen, and a bullet passes through it and lands in the opposite wall.
"Excuse me for a moment," he says as he walks through another portal. The second he leaves, another portal appears behind where he stood. Lucas comes out of said portal dragging a man by his hair, throwing the man down at the First Citizen's feet with his sniper rifle next to him.

"Well that was quick." The First Citizen Shrugs. "Looks like I might have to go soon, need to check on the Ark Sequence; what's left of it anyway. I mean who knows? Might need to fire that thing again someday." The First Citizen says, slowly turning around and walking towards a portal he conjured. He then grabs a steak sandwich out of nowhere and starts to eat it.
"Hmm, a little undercooked."

[Cybraxia]

It was then that a horde of bees came flying from one of the hills at high speeds towards Frieza, and began to sting him repeatedly, and no matter what he did, more and more and more bees came.
Fuck Frieza

The bees did little more than irritate him. He powered up to blow the bees away in a blast of powerful winds. He used his scouter and it picked up weak power level. He flew straight towards it and encountered the sniper. He flew in and punched the sniper as hard as his 1st form would allow.

The sniper dissipated... into more bees. In fact, the hill itself that the Sniper had been standing on shook as it was revealed to be a mere covering of turf over billions upon billions of bees. The swarmed towards Frieza, engulfing him and stinging all over, flying into his mouth and even stinging on the inside of his body.

This is not a good day for Frieza. It had appeared that the Namekians had fled the planet, not because of Frieza, but because of fucking bees. And as it turns out, they're smarter than Frieza. Who knew?

Elizabeth was rather surprised to see another portal appear and from out of no where a bullet impacted on the wall. "How the hell a bullet was able to be fired through a sodding hologram!" She shouted, she was aware that back home magic that with the mind can make things like dreams, nightmares, illusions and hallucinations real. But that can not explain how a piece of tech can make something travel from one universe to the next by a simple hologram.

When the First Citzen talked about leaving to return to some sort of Ark Elizabeth was glad for his departure, the man brought with him a level of lunacy that Elizabeth was finding not to her liking. She than saw him pull out a sandwich from out of no where. "So your a sorcesors too huh? That figures much, the hologram probably was made with some bit of magic in it. Strange thatvI can't sense magic on it." The mage became silent, simply smoking her cigarette away so she can keep herself calm.

Frieza got annoyed, immortality wasn't worth thi much effort. He flew into the atmosphere and used his planet buster attack after all of the bees died from asphyxiation. The giant ball hit the planet's surface, destroying it.

After the dust and wreckage seemed to settle (as much as floating fragments of a planet can settle) a spaceship seemed to fly off, warping away, but not before dumping a crate of some kind.
GEEEEEEEEEEET DUNKED ON
That crate then opened and something flew out of it, straight for Frieza. As it turned out, his day went from bad to worse as DEADLY POISONOUS ROBOTIC SELF-REPAIRING NANO-BEES began their assault on Frieza.

Frieza grunted in anger and went after the ship, but not before blasting the nano-bees. One stung him but frieza kept going after dumping the now useless dragonballs. He a gaining on the ship when he fired eyebeam on its hull.

"Hey wait, here's my work number, just incase you need anything." The First Citizen remarks, as he tosses Elizabeth, and the strange Japanese girl his work info. He then throws away his sandwich and taking out a $1000 cigar from nowhere, again. He lights the cigar, takes a puff, then throws it away.
"Yuck, I hate smoking, didn't even know why I did that in the first place. Whatever." The First citizen looks at his holo display, and takes out a portal gun.
"Here, take this, I don't need it." He tosses the portal gun over and promptly disappears into his portal. "Time to watch some anime, why not Code Geass, show isn't that bad." His voice lingers for a second.

The Ship vanished from sight, opening a hole in space to another universe, but not before leaving another present for Frieza. A curious device with a counting down clock, currently from 5 seconds. On it, was a note that only read:

Try minding your own BEESness next time. -Aristaeus
P.S. - If you stopped to read this, you're already dead. Have a nice day!

In case our viewers at home didn't realize, this device is a nuke.

"What? Why do you need to speak with Light?" Mrs. Yagami asked, confused. "And do you have badges, so I know you aren't lying to me?"

Aebrenata
"Finding him would be most inadvisable," Zarall said. "He would kill you immediately. It would also be pointless; I already know where he is, and he knows where I am. It is only the threat of mutually assured destruction that keeps us from facing at the current time. You can, however, help out by destroying the artifacts that power him. Take this remote, seek out your fellow heroes, and join the fight against evil. Now, I must be off. I sense troublemakers elsewhere in Aebrenata." He handed War a portal generator remote, and teleported away.

Meanwhile...
"Oh, I don't think I look, that godly," Tavros said with a nervous chuckle. "Even though I am technically, a god?"
"I do not think they were speaking of you, Mr Nitram." Zarall said, and he appeared near the group. He waved his hand, and all portals, windows, holograms, and other assorted multiverse-spanning tech were whisked away. "Now, what do we have here?"

Middle Earth
"Oh, that's helpful." Karkat sad, rolling his eyes. "Can it, Karkat. Those are the guys from the description of the Ring. Which way is Mordor, Tiny?"

Hogwarts
Kanaya and Eridan, by this point recovered from his stupification, stepped into Dumbledore's office. "Wwell wwell wwell. The head 'wwizard' himself. Give up the wwand, old human man!" "Eridan..." Kanaya said, rubbing the bridge of her nose. "Look, Mr Wizard, we need that wand for some very important reasons that I would be happy to explain to you if you would like to know them."

Limbo-25
Undyne started to hyperventilate with joy. She sat down on the floor for a moment to take in this information, then god up and recomposed herself. "This is officially the best day ever. How do I absorb this human soul and become super strong?"

[Naval Monte]

"I wish I can give you my card but besides the obvious multiversal distance problem with our call I'm also making new cards" she explain looking at the info card on her hand, yet again no presence of magic on it. At this point she no longer phased by him summoning the cigar, though she let out a few chuckles on his reaction after smoking it.

Elizabeth suddenly senses tremdous source of power appear close by and sure enough the source was revealed to be Zarall. Elizabeth's senses were going crazy due to the god's presence, the occultist used her willpower and training to keep them in check. "So your the good guy that big horn here has talked about. So I already heard that you need a couple of blokes to mess around with your evil twin's stuff cause if you do than you and twin will get into a Nast fight that will not be good for anyone." She put the portal gun down on the ground next her.

"So besides saving the multiverse what else are we expecting if we somehow succeed? Cause not everyone is the type to do dangerous shit out of the goodness of their heart, some need some incentive." Of course Elizabeth is one of those people who need incentive to willing join. After all she right now has her own problems to worry about, having a multiversal issue like this would only make thing more complicated and difficult for her.

[Slenderman The CreepyPasta King]

War nodded and read the list. His eyes widened at the mention of the Death Note. "Shit, the people going there wont know what their getting into" He muttered. He programmed the coordinates and shot the portal. He stepped through it and arrived in Light's room.
New Namek's remains
Frieza did not stop to read the message, he kept on presuing the ship before it dissipeared. He cured under his breath and contacted whatever troops his empire had left. "Get over to where new namekwas, I am back, and I need another one of my chairs."

"Got it mi'lord." A general in the frieza army said, surprised about his ruler's return. "We wil be there in a few hours. But if you don't mind, how did you get revived?"

"Non of your damned business." Frieza snapped.

Ford had to slightly look up at Garnet to make eye-contact "Greetings, ma'am. I have a very important question, reality itself is on the line. Have you ever heard of the Cluster?"

Gamzee's Mind
Bill looked around at this psychedelic world, it reminded him of the Nightmare Realm, which was off putting a bit "I'm here to offer you some help in this whole "save reality" quest and shit. Whaddya say? Would you like some help?"

Aebrenata
Dirk and Jane watched what was happening, deciding not to join. In the middle of it all a portal opened and what appeared to be a large box with arms and a wheel came out "My my, what do we have here? Darlings, it appears I might be a bit lost. Now tell me, beauties, where exactly am I?"

Middle Earth
Ulrik sighed "Would you kindly stop insulting the man?" he turned to the hobbit "Do you have a map on you? I think I could find a way to Mordor with nothing but a map, a compass, and knowledge of where I am on the map."

Dave shrugged "Well I guess there's more to saving the world than beating up strong foes. Hmm. We might need a bit of help for this."

After being sent to a random dimension, Jake and John returned near the Ice Kingdom and then looked around "Well, where do you think that Ice King went?" John looked and noticed the Candy Kingdom off in the distance "Well, I think I heard him say he was going to warn other kingdoms, maybe he went over there." and they were off.

"Magical girls, gray skin horned gods, ancient socialist leader that breaks reality without magic and now a robot." Elizabeth turned to Zaraell. "You know where to find interesting guests for your place." She let her third cigarette, now a bud, fall down to the ground and stomped on it. Once she was sure it was out she moved away from the wall and with her hands in her coat pockets walked to the robot.

"Evening or morning, it's hard to tell what time of day in this place. So I take it that you found a green portal and went in cause you had nothing better to do for today. Well if my memory is correct this place is called Aebrenata and apperantly this place is a realm for heroes. Which I think the term heroes is being used loosely since I'm here." Elizabeth gave the robot a smirk.

"To make a long story short there are two immortal super beings who are in a mutilversal Cold War against each other and the reason for it being that if they both fight they will destroy everything around them. So to ensure that doesn't happen one of these beings is gathering folks like use to find several objects of power belonging to the other so he can be too weak to threaten anyone."

She turn to Tarvos and Zaraell. "Saved you two the trouble of having to explain what is going on."

"I-401's core, interesting..." The First Citizen ponders in his Pocket Universe.
"Ahmed, you are one heck of man. I hope you do well where you are. And I also hope you still have those anime books I gave you. They have real info in them!" The First Citizen rants.
"United Arab States, ha. At least you still have socialism there. Even if people still shout: 'ALLAHU AKBAR!!!' ".
"I'm going to get back to watching some TV. You know, I've always wanted to make some 4th wall breaks!! Haha, Ahmed, If I was you, I would be messing with everyone on that Earth!"
First Citizen picks up mini Reality warper.
"Ah, if only I used this."
"You know? Why do I even care about this multiverse? I can just hide in my pocket universe with all my people! Dang it Leo! Stop thinking selfishly!"

Fox 10 news, broadcasting to all Union worlds and across the web:
July 5, 47020: Victory Day
Today on the Union Capital of Earth, the Victory Day parade commemorating the Revolution against the Imperium. 100 million soldiers of the 3rd Aterrian Founding Army will be marching to city square. Expect huge crowds, and be sure to bring a red flag!

**(Soviet March Red Alert 3) Union Military Anthem Begins.
Soldier begin to appear on screen, they march in massed ranks: 100 by 200, each regimental division raising its flag high. Many regiments from many worlds appear, even the catgirls from Carlos McConell (Some teenagers start thinking stuff)! Behind the infantry are huge lines of tanks and armored vehicles. Following those are mechas and small Titans, which eventually leads to the Massive titans near the end. The Union Navy also flies overhead, and thousands of fighters soar over the sky. At the end of city square is a massive poster of the first great socialist:
Karl Marx.

The First Citizen watches from his holoprojector.

"What? Why do you need to speak with Light?" Mrs. Yagami asked, confused. "And do you have badges, so I know you aren't lying to me?"

The bountyhunter hadn't thought that far, but didn't show it on his face. He pulled out his Project X badge and flashed it somewhat quickly, hoping that as a civilian from a different nation, she would know what the NSA's badges looked like. It helped that the Project X badge had some similarities, including basic layout and shape.
"It's regarding an ongoing investigation. I'm afraid any real information on that matter is classified."

Sayaka smiled and tossed her hands into the air, obviously happy and celebrating her victory over chain smokers everywhere. The festivities where cut short when Elizabeth bit back with a vicious retort that left Sayaka mentally reeling back in shock. She never was any good in smack talk, but that didn't stop her from trying to retort with something, anything, clever that wasn't a loud 'SHUT UP!'. All that came out from her mouth was the beginning of a stutter that was quickly cut off when things happened.

By the end of it all, Sayaka was left weirded out and unable to react from sheer shock.

It took her quite some time, but she was able to gather her thoughts and finally reply. "Sayaka Miki." She said, voice nuetral and mind all but forgetting about all other questions besides the one about her name as she let the First Citizen's Calling Card land on her feet to be ignored forever. "There, I gave you my name so you better give me yours, and stop calling me Sailor Moon or whatever!"

Honestly, Sayaka kind of liked being compared to a Hero of Love and Justice. They weren't as good as Mami of course, in account of them being fictional but it was still something at least.

"And can you stop smoking?" She instinctively said the moment she saw Elizabeth once again commit a most heinous crime.

"Maybe?" She quickly added, hoping the change in tactics would do the trick as she placed both hands behind the small of her back and refused to make eye contact. Her cheeks were burning from embarassment again and her feet shifted nervously.

"Pretty please with a cherry on top?" The fire in her voice was replaced by a saccharine tone and she mentally asked herself. How in the world does Madoka do that?!


England, Misty Forests

Tadayoshi looked at the cockroach.
"Huh. They're dead... Wonder what killed them, or why no one has removed them from the path yet..."
"Hmm. I hear something up ahead. Sounds like a dog."
"Eh, might as well check it out. Nothing to do here."

The two headed North.

And was met by a amazing sight.

A kitten, a tabby by the looks of it, was laying on the grass and curled into a ball. Lazily, one eye was peeled open and a green eye looked the newcomers up and down. The Kitten opened its mouth to yawn.

Woof!

It said to the newcomers as it slowly stood up on all fours.

Woof! Woof!

It wagged its tail with energy a tired Kitten shouldn't possess and started salivating accompanied by the sound dogs made when they were in that state.

Mischief on its agenda, the cat spoke one final word as the everything quieted down for the barest of moments. "Boo."

The voice was definitely musculine, handsome too in a rugged thuggish way. That didn't matter at the moment of course, the two agents would have more things to worry about than that sexy, sexy voice. Like, say, the giant mettalic dog, about as long as a man and as high as a horse, that just somehow jumped out of the tree behind the cat and was currently on a one way flight path at the pair's general direction.

With the vital signs of the containment team having disappeared, another team is dispatched to the same site. They exit the pod and see the portal. They aim their containment cannons and fire, forcefully closing the portal.

The child stood, dumbfounded at what just happened

Shock turned to confusion, confusion to anger and anger to the most beautiful of things, passion.

She yelled, voice high and shrill, and cried without restraint. The forest bowed to her will and the mist flared to life. "You stole him!" The Containment Cannons' shots missed the portal, their paths guided away by a unseen force as the very fabric of the world closed itself up and stopped any and all attempts at opening portals besides the one her new friend had created.

The team of gunmen and their pod were grasped by growing grass and mettalic branches. Vines and whip-like fibers grasped onto their limbs and started pulling with the force of a woman scorned.

A series of loud pops echoed throughout the woods as limbs were torn off their sockets and eventually separated from the torso. Suffice to say, the field was showered with a rain of gore, blood and fallen bodies as the little girl dropped to her knees and clutched her face with both hands, fingers digging into flesh as she repeated a mantra over and over again. "They took you they took you they took youtheytookyoutheystoleyoufromme..."

Tokyo

Suddenly, in every story arc, in every location, blue portals appear in the sky above the characters. From them each falls a metal pod about the size of a small bedroom at terminal velocity. They each hit the ground nearby, and from them each exit about 20 soldiers wielding containment cannons. Wearing military jackets with large "DMS" patches embroidered on their arms, a field of common sense emanates from them, securing them in that reality. Upon seeing the various characters, they point their weapons.

Homura had just finished changing her clothes when women outside her cubicle started screaming words like "Perverts!" and "Thieves!" and "Get out of the Women's Washroom!" or a combination thereof.

Of course she heard the loud crash of something big and mettalic falling earlier but people's priorities just happened to be the one she heard and listened to more due to proximity.

Ice King's Castle

"Well," Nepeta said, putting on a face of deep thought. Equius remained stony-faced, creepily staring at Oriko and Kirika through his cracked sunglasses. "I think Mr Zarall said something about the guy we're fighting wanting to take the place the good guy brought us to, and that's basically a super nice heaven dimension with only good things. It even looked like I was getting flirty eyes from... well that's not important!" she continued, blushing olive green at the flirty eyes remark. "Anyway, he said that in return for us fighting for him, our universes would be saved and a bunch of people, including us, wouldn't die and we thought that was a good enough reason to fight!"

Kirika stared back at Equius before eventually noticing that he was staring at Oriko too. A quick and quiet "Eep!" escaped her lips and the Serial Killer immediately latched onto her partner's arm who bore the protective hug and creepy stare with dignity. That is to say, she ignored both completely in favor of listening to Nepeta's riveting story.

Really, the thought of Kirika giving her flirty eyes sent shivers down the Seer's spine. She couldn't tell if it was out of fear or excitement.

Was she supposed to be worried about that?

"I'd hate to badger you with philosophy but wouldn't the creation of a perfect world, or better yet, worlds be better than keeping the old one?" Oriko asked, genuine curiousity in her voice. How long had it been since she had a discussion like this? Oh right, she never had. "Our employer has promised to grant us our piece of paradise and to be honest..." She shook her head, flashes of past what-could-have-beens filled with her own death and failure coming to the front of her mind. "I doubt I could do the same back in our old home."

Suddenly, in every story arc, in every location, blue portals appear in the sky above the characters. From them each falls a metal pod about the size of a small bedroom at terminal velocity. They each hit the ground nearby, and from them each exit about 20 soldiers wielding containment cannons. Wearing military jackets with large "DMS" patches embroidered on their arms, a field of common sense emanates from them, securing them in that reality. Upon seeing the various characters, they point their weapons.

A mettalic pod crashed into the Bedroom without warning just as Oriko was about to speak some more. "Oh my." She said, genuinely surprised as she bagan looking into the future. "We have company it seems." Oriko spoke calmly, well out of harm's way. "Hostile too by the looks of it. I'd appreciate if we could get them out of the way before we continue our talk."

"Try and keep up!" Kirika suddenly yelled a verbal challenge at the trolls, Claws at the ready as she charged the group who were still busy forming up, shuffling out of their pod and pointing their guns at all parties. Thanks to Kirika's Magic, they'd have very little time to react before the Serial Killer was upon them. Claws slashing and legs sweeping with enough force to pulverize solid stone, Kirika disrupted the enemy formation and quickly got out of the way of every attack sent her way which she had ample time to dodge as Oriko provided covering fire in the form of her lightning fast vine patterned orbs and picked off those Kirika missed. The Seer actively looked two steps ahead just to know where and when was the most optimal time to shoot so that Kirika would avoid harm.

The Aberration reappeared through through the portal, looking at the carnage the child had caused. He chuckled under his breath, realising he'd underestimated this little girl, before walking over to her and sitting down on the blood-splattered grass, clearing away a pile of body parts. Normally, he'd look through the gore to see if there was anything he could use to augment himself, but he didn't want to startle the girl. Not because she might run, but because he didn't want her wrath aimed at him. That would not end well.
"Hey, don't worry yourself, I'm here." he said, trying to get her attention.

"Pretty please with a cherry on top?" The fire in her voice was replaced by a saccharine tone and she mentally asked herself. How in the world does Madoka do that?!

"If you think acting cute is going to get me to stop smoking than hate to break it to you it's not. But for now I can be sort of nice and not smoke for while, at least as long as I say in this realm." Elizabeth replied back. What Elizabeth left out is that should more lunacy like the one that just happen with the First Citzen happen again than she is getting another smoke. "This day is going to be a bloody endurance test on how much weird shit I can take before I go absolutely bonkers."

Elizabeth than took out a card, at first with was a playing card but the moment she handed it over to Sayaka it showed her work card. "My name is Elizabeth Ashwood. I'm a detective though most of my cases often deals with the occult and supernatural with some occasionss in dealing with mundane human crime. " the mage explained looking over the card she gave to Sayaka. she bit back a groan when she saw what it said.

Sadly for Elizabeth it show Sayaka the old card which among the list of occupations said that she is a Master of the Dark Arts. "Right forgot it saids master. I should really change that to 'Petty Dabbler', I hate to put on airs" Elizabeth took the card back and placed it back in her coat pocket.

"As I mentioned before I'm getting new ones made. Now Sayaka, mind telling me how you stumbled across an artifact like that? It's obviously the source of your magic and I'm curious on where you found it and how it works since whatever magic it has is not one I'm familiar with."

"What? Why do you need to speak with Light?" Mrs. Yagami asked, confused. "And do you have badges, so I know you aren't lying to me?"

The bountyhunter hadn't thought that far, but didn't show it on his face. He pulled out his Project X badge and flashed it somewhat quickly, hoping that as a civilian from a different nation, she would know what the NSA's badges looked like. It helped that the Project X badge had some similarities, including basic layout and shape.
"It's regarding an ongoing investigation. I'm afraid any real information on that matter is classified."

Warided to sit back and watch. It was a good thing that he decided to wait to do anything because when the bountyhunter pulled out his badge and said something, he was still stumped on what to do. If that didn't work War was rady to knock Mrs. Yagami out.

In a flash, Tadayoshi's sword extended out into his hand, and he thrust it up, piercing into the metal dog. He pivoted in his spot as he slammed the dog into the ground, in front of the strange cat. After removing his sword, Tadayoshi stood in a defensive stance. Marguerite took out her knife.
"You still have my gun."
"I'll give it to you after this. It's difficult to rummage through my coat."

England, Misty Forests

The Aberration reappeared through through the portal, looking at the carnage the child had caused. He chuckled under his breath, realising he'd underestimated this little girl, before walking over to her and sitting down on the blood-splattered grass, clearing away a pile of body parts. Normally, he'd look through the gore to see if there was anything he could use to augment himself, but he didn't want to startle the girl. Not because she might run, but because he didn't want her wrath aimed at him. That would not end well.
"Hey, don't worry yourself, I'm here." he said, trying to get her attention.

At the sound of the 5 meter tall giant's inhuman voice, the little girl looked up and let her hands fall uselessly to her sides as her tear filled, bloodshot eyes drank in his form in all its monstrous glory. The girl's entire body shook in...

Fear?

Exhaustion?

Excitement from Adrenaline? Maybe?

"B-but they t-t-took you away j-just..." Try as she might to control her stutter, she wasn't quite able to do so. "j-just l-l-li-like..." She couldn't say the words. The thoughts were there already, tormenting her mind along with long buried memories. Memories that told her exactly why she was here as she began to hyperventilate.

Just like that, the child spoke no more and instead hugged herself, blood and mud stained hands dirtying her already ruined clothes. In the back of her mind, a faceless woman told her that cleaning the dress would be a feat worthy of Gods.

Minutes passed by silently until the girl spoke again and stood up on unsteady feet. "T-the Captain knows..." She sniffed "H-how to get out of the forest." She stopped for a moment to collect her thoughts. "You w-won't leave me right mister?" Confidence, more like desperation actually, leaked into her voice as she looked at the giant with hope-filled sleepy eyes. "Go westwards until you reach the end of a waterfall then go north to meet the captain..." It was rehearsed and obviously wasn't the girl's own words but she collapsed on the ground due to exhaustion before she could say much more of anything.

The Aberration could leave right now without the girl and meet the hollowed out column of soldiers, or he could take her and be stopped from advancing further. The Waterfall would always be within line of sight but no matter how fast he ran or how many steps he took, he just wouldn't be able to reach it.

In a flash, Tadayoshi's sword extended out into his hand, and he thrust it up, piercing into the metal dog. He pivoted in his spot as he slammed the dog into the ground, in front of the strange cat. After removing his sword, Tadayoshi stood in a defensive stance. Marguerite took out her knife.
"You still have my gun."
"I'll give it to you after this. It's difficult to rummage through my coat."

The dog let out a pitiful whine of betreyal before all life left it and oily black blood leaked out from its wound.

"Not much of a dog person I see." The cat spoke, amused as its tail calmed down and the feline began cleaning itself. "It just wanted to play and hug you. In fact, I almost feel sorry for the dumb canine."

"Ah, but such is life." The feline settled down and looked straight at the pair whose stance remained stressed like a coil of spring. "So tell me strangers, what brings you to this accursed forest?" It put a paw to its head and looked away dramatically as the other fore paw was extended out in their direction. "Wait, don't tell me yet." The cat hummed for quite some time before it quickly changed gears. It cleared its throat to catch the pair's attention but all that did was cause something to go wrong and after much hacking and other disgusted noises, the cat spat out a ball of fur. "So, fellow dog-haters, ask your questions and I'll answer them to the best of my ability."

"If you think acting cute is going to get me to stop smoking than hate to break it to you it's not. But for now I can be sort of nice and not smoke for while, at least as long as I say in this realm." Elizabeth replied back. What Elizabeth left out is that should more lunacy like the one that just happen with the First Citzen happen again than she is getting another smoke. "This day is going to be a bloody endurance test on how much weird shit I can take before I go absolutely bonkers."

Elizabeth than took out a card, at first with was a playing card but the moment she handed it over to Sayaka it showed her work card. "My name is Elizabeth Ashwood. I'm a detective though most of my cases often deals with the occult and supernatural with some occasionss in dealing with mundane human crime. " the mage explained looking over the card she gave to Sayaka. she bit back a groan when she saw what it said.

Sadly for Elizabeth it show Sayaka the old card which among the list of occupations said that she is a Master of the Dark Arts. "Right forgot it saids master. I should really change that to 'Petty Dabbler', I hate to put on airs" Elizabeth took the card back and placed it back in her coat pocket.

"As I mentioned before I'm getting new ones made. Now Sayaka, mind telling me how you stumbled across an artifact like that? It's obviously the source of your magic and I'm curious on where you found it and how it works since whatever magic it has is not one I'm familiar with."

Sayaka fumed internally. Sure, she achieved her goal somewhat but the lenghts she had to go through were quite damaging to her ego. She apparently wasn't cute enough for Elizabeth and that rankled something deep inside her. The Blueberry felt extremely self-conscious at the moment and cursed her boyish disposition. Maybe if her hair wasn't so short, she could style it into a ponytail or something. People like ponytails right? She liked ponytails so other people must too! Failing that, she could let her hair grow really long just like that Transfer Student and start doing fabulous hair flips straight out of a shampoo commercial...

Sayaka stopped that train of thought. Come hell and highwater, she wasn't gonna emulate that bi- female dog!

The playing card was thrown and Sayaka had a good enough prescense of mind to catch the playing card and read its contents as it changed. She raised an eyebrow at Dark Magic and shot the foreigner a questioning look that was quickly answered.

Still, Dark Arts. Isn't that evil? Why was a dark sorceress chosen as one of the Heroes of the Multiverse? Maybe she was anti-hero? In that case, she'd need Sayaka to watch over her and make sure she doesn't fall to the Dark Side or something like that.

The first step in doing so, as the shows and various manga she watched and read told her, was the befriending stage!

"I'm not sure how the Soul Gem works exactly." Sayaka said as she pocketed the card and desummoned her outfit. "All I really know is that allows me to use magic and that I have to keep it clean with Grief Seeds." For a brief moment, pain flashed in Sayaka's features as she forced herself to speak. "My mentor d-di-" The word was at the tip of Sayaka's tongue but it refused to budge. "retired before she could teach me more."

She bit her tongue at her own cowardice but otherwise continued the cheerful charade. "Kyubey made me one in exchange for a wish." The facade began cracking as she remembered that faithful day in early April and it sent shivers down her spine as she remembered every little, morbid detail.

Happy thought, happy thoughts.

She thought of Kyoske and how he could play the violin again. She thought of Madoka and all the people she was protecting. She thought and thought and thought until that faithful day was buried underneath a pile of half-hearted memories and thoughts.

And then, Sayaka was still her cheerful, fun loving self.

"Hey can I have that card back? It's my only source of identification since a rabid dog ate my wallet and ID." Elizabeth explained, she was somewhat true but of course it is hard to admit that said dog was actually a wolf, a tall humanoid wolf creature that was once human and was the source of the werewolf legends back at her home. "I'm not surprised that you don't know how the gem work, trying to understand who the inner mechanism with arcane relics can be headache sometimes." the mage said with a chuckle. Elizabeth caught the brief look of pain on Sayaka's face when she was talking about her mentor. "Looks like she already knows one of the occupational hazards on being a mage." Elizabeth gave Sayaka a small smile.

"I'm a magic user too Saya, I personally know the risks to magic and how having it in your life can make last extremely short if you screw up too many times. I guess both of us knows how it feels to have our mentors die on us." Elizabeth sighed as she look down, for a moment her eyes shown pain and sorrow. These emotions however faded once she moved her head back up to look down at the preteen sword wielding magician. Elizabeth can tell that Sayaka's cheerful demeanor was a facade. The magic around her body was acting like an typical kirlian aura as it's colors change to show her true feelings, even the soul gems was telling Elizabeth Sayaka's true feelings. Other factors was the fact that Elizabeth can tell that Sayaka was looking at her but she wasn't focused on her or at anything else.

"Tell me are you aware of the stories of the Monkey's Paw? Well from my experience that story is true since most of the times I've seen a wish come true it often finds a way on back firing at the person who made it ." Elizabeth looked at at both the two gods and the robot who have been quiet for a while, most likely not wanting to interrupt them. "For now I should keep any mentions of Faust to myself cause I rather not have to deal with a preteen having an emotional break down." Elizabeth wondered on what to do with the lich with her. For starters finding this Kyubey is a must so she can see what sort of being he is and why he turned Sayaka into a lich. "Maybe along the way me and Sayaka can learn more about these gems and these grief seeds that she mentioned... Why do I have a bad feeling about all of this."

Elizabeth raised her arms above her head and arch her back as she began to stretch, while stretching a plan formed in her head. Once she was done Elizabeth decided to share her plan to Sayaka. "Right now you lack a mentor to help you out on both how these gems and seeds work along with magic and I'm curious on how your gem and those grief seeds work along with your mysterious benefactor Kyubey. Now this may not work but since I've been in the magic game for most of my life now how about I act as your mentor? Sure we may have two entirely different magic systems but I know that with my magic I can teach it to anyone or being that is not from my world." she walked up to Sayaka and extended her hand.

"What do you say kid, want to learn some new tricks to impress the other magical girls?"

[Petrokovia]

Tadayoshi immediately piped up.
"Who are you?"
"And where are we?"
"And what do you mean it only wanted to play? How do I know it wasn't going to kill me? That was some show you put on."

"Oh.. okay. Come on in I gue-" Mrs Yagami was cut off by a loud yelling noise from Light's room. Inside, Light was quite reasonably freaking the fuck out about a strange being suddenly appearing inside his room. Thinking quickly, he tossed Ryuk (who would be invisible to anybody but him) the Death Note then ran downstairs.
"What the hell is going on here?! Who's the guy in my bedroom?!"

Aebrenata
"Yes, thank you for the explanation Elizabeth," Zarall said in a somewhat exasperated tone. "Sayaka, when you've finished here, I have an important piece of equipment for you."

Meanwhile, Tavros decided that that he wasn't needed at that place at the moment, so he decided to visit the recovery room and wait for his two remaining friends to wake up.

Ice King's Castle
Nepeta and Equius quickly jumped into action. Nepeta extended her own claws and jumped into Equius's hand, which he then used to hurl her down towards the strange soldiers. She arrived on the ground a few seconds after Oriko and Kirika and immediately went to work jumping, rolling, and slashing to take down a good quarter of the troops while Equius watched from the window with a small smile. Once all the solders were disposed of, Nepeta resheathed her claws and said, "I wonder who these weird guys are. I don't remember them from Aebrenata."

Meanwhile...
At Gold's knock, a window near the top of the Treehouse flung open and what looked like a teenage boy stuck his head out.
"Hi! Who are you?"

Gamzee's Subconscious
Gamzee started giggling inanely and said, "Well motherfuck, some help would be great triangle bro. I don't even know what the motherfuck I'm supposed to be motherfucking doing. What's your name tribro?"

Beach City
Garnet made a somewhat startled look on her face, but did not otherwise move. "How do you know about that? Has Steven been talking about it around the Boardwalk?"
