Eric smiled when Ann sat in his lap, but got annoyed when Joshua called them out and Ann moved. The boy gave Joshua an annoyed look, then simply sighed and took Ann's hand in his own "I guess you're right." he then turned to Secesh "Apology accepted. What made you decide to apologize now?" Meanwhile Pobeda watched the others, and absentmindedly mulled aloud "If only there were some way we could communicate with her, maybe then we could diffuse the situation nonviolently."

Kadoor smiled at Mercy "No need to repay me, I'm just doing my job. But I would be thankful for your help in any way." she then pulled Mercy in and gave her a hug before they set off to heal the wounded. She was surprised by the wounds the Twins had inflicted on these people, and wondered what they would've done if they weren't told to spare the people. While she healed the wounded, a giant ship appeared above them, with a man looking over the deck and shouting something. The Troll looked to Serena "You know him?"

Draigo resisted the Sith ghosts' force attacks on his mind, sending another lash of psychic energy at them before opening his hand and firing a bolt of lightning at the sith ghosts, taking them out. He repeated this attack a few more times before turning to the others "What are these 'Ghost Busters' you speak of?"

Konny was struggling desperately as she was tied to the table, whimpering and gasping for air as the fairies had waterboarded her many times. She sneezed, shivering from the cold water that soaked her clothes and severely chilled her.The fairies jumped out of the way as Secesh aimed the flamethrower at them, and the General grabbed her rifle, shooting some bullets at Secesh's way but missing by inches.

"Goddamit!" She cursed and aimed at him again, while the minion (Who had part of his wing torn from the fight with Konny) unsheathed a sword and leaped at Secesh.

Secesh glared at the minion with seething hatred. This was one of the fairies who led to his lover's death, and he was going to make them suffer for every last second of their life. He managed to narrowly avoid the bullet, shooting more flames at the minions before discarding his rifle for his sword. He unsheathed it, using it to swiftly deflect the attack and and then throw several punches their way with his massive steel fist.

Death and the horsemen were silently following infinity. Death as calm and collected, Fury was the same, War was still angry at the charred council for ordering them to watch and follow Infinity's orders, and Strife, well, he was chatting everyone's ears off. "So, War, " he started.

"What?" War grunted.

"What are you thinking about?" Strife asked.

"None of your business, now kindly shut up and focus." War stated.

"Hey, I'm just trying to make small talk." Strife defended.

"And I don't want to hear it." War shot at the white rider.

The punches were enough to send the minion crashing towards the ground. His face was bloodied to a pulp and he twitched painfully, lying on the ground unconscious. General Feileacan growled and dodged the flamethrower, taking to the air and continuing to shoot bullets at Secesh. She flipped the table Konny was on to its side and used it as a barrier between her and Secesh to shield his attacks. Konny muffled and struggled harder as she was still bound to the waterboarding table, in the way of the attacks.

Feileacan propped her gun on the table and aimed again.

Another minion flew at Secesh, using a sword to slice down at him.

"Thank..thank you," Secesh cringed, fidgeting with discomfort. As usual, he didn't like to apologize for being wrong.
"Well...Uhm..you see...I.....ugh," Secesh grumbled, walking back into the corner and sitting down as he blushed with embarrassment. He was actually sorry, to a degree, and he had unspoken reasons for apologizing. The first one was that he didn't want his only way back to Ignis to hate him, and the second was that his lover wouldn't approve of him acting like this. Not to forget that she wasn't exactly white, either.

As he closed his eyes in the corner for try and escape it all, the hallucination returned. Their body was much clearer now, with a color scheme of red, blue, and yellow adorned their Rev. War. style attire. But they didn't harm him, they merely existed this time. Looking the empty space of a void while seemingly ignoring Secesh. He woke up a few moments later, perplexed and confused.

Another minion flew at Secesh, using a sword to slice down at him.

Several of the bullets hit his pauldrons, but he managed to avoid any serious injury. He was forced to ditch the gun for his hulking steel palmetto axe. It was as tall as he was, and with a massive effort from both of his hands, he swung it at the other minion's back, causing them to crash into the ground. He grabbed the minion he rendered unconscious, and dropped them aggressively on the other minion. Grabbing both of them by the legs, he swung them both into a wall and started to charge towards the fairy general, rushing to capture her.

The two fairy minions were good as dead by now. One of them had his face bashed in by Secesh's punches while the other had his back broken by the impact into the wall.

Feileacan leered in rage at having her underlings be killed by Secesh, and leaped out from behind the table, continuing to shoot at Secesh and taking to the air. She unsheathed her sword and swooped down at Secesh, shooting a few rounds at the former Confederate, then slicing down with her silver longsword, aiming for his neck.

"Why won't you just mind your own business, eh, human!?" she snarled.

Matoran Universe: Karzahni

Selene observed how Calyx, being Calyx, gone brutal with one of the frozen Rahkishi and gutted it to become apart of his collection. “Um…” Selene was awestruck and looked back at her Pokemon. Maybe he is doing some kind of Predator thing like in the movies about ripping the enemies heads off as trophies. Then again, the gravity part might be useful for him, or… Selene shrugged, not sure if she wants to know now, as Lillie tried to ignore what the weirdness that happened. Simply diary material.

Then Guzma, being Guzma, had to ruin the stealth mission by boasting out loud. Selene heart almost stopped when the Toa of Ice showed up and pointed his weapon at Guzma. It was, chilling and bizarre to say the least, on how Kopaka used Guzma’s usual lingo. But how Vuki sees them and how the Toa team behave, it is obvious these guys are like action figures to Selene.

“Really?” Selene smiled brightly when the Toa wanted to be her friend. “Wow, that’s pretty neat. My name is Selene, and this is my girlfriend Lillie.”

Lillie bowed, and blushed when Selene bluntly announced their current relationship status. “Yes, I’ll be looking forward to know you all.” Lillie replied. Selene realized the statement she accidentally said out loud, and hoping everyone won’t look at them oddly. “Ahem. What are you guys doing down here inside of this cave?” Selene inquired.

Secesh's pauldron took most of the blows once more, denting the symbol of a white oval with a cobra in it. Even in death, she seemed to still protect him. He tried to respond to her sword attack by blocking it, but she was too fast for him. He could only crash into the ground beside her as she landed, and then roll over to the corpses of the underlings. He grabbed one by the torso and messily ripped them in half, letting the blood fly out from the bisected corpse as he threw it at the general.

Feileacan looked on in shock as Secesh treated the corpse of her minion so disrespectfully. She could do nothing as the fairy corpse hit her and knocked her down. Feileacan snarled.
"HOW DARE YOU THROW HIM LIKE HE'S SOME KIND OF TRASH!"
She roared and stabbed her sword into the ground. A silver magic circle began to form around Secesh, as Feileacan began to chant a spell in Gaelic. The circle began to glow hot white under the soldier.

"Wh-watch out...get out of there..." Konny weakly uttered as loud as she could. She slumped against the table she was tied to, seemingly lifeless by now.

"Shut up!" Feileacan shouted at Konny. She then smirked at Secesh. "Bye bye, comrade killer."

"Coming from someone who left my love to die out in the open, I'm shocked you're so offended," he said coldly. He watched as she stabbed her sword into the ground, and was somewhat anxious. Magic had always confused him, so other than occasions when he was alone with Ignis, he preferred to keep a distance from it. He tried to rush out the circle, racing to use one of his knives to free her. "Are you going to be ok? What is she doing?" He asked her with concern for birth her life and his.

"Well your lover was in our way, and so are you!"

The circle caused a great explosion, and Secesh had just barely escaped. Some rubble fell from the ceiling as a result of this explosion, and if Secesh looked up, he would find it ripped a hole through the roof. Feileacan cursed and drove her sword into the ground again, muttering the same spell. Another silver circle appeared under Secesh, beginning to glow.

Konny limply propped herself up against the table she had been strapped too, still shivering and sneezing.
"I-I'm going to be fine....She's...she's trying to use explosive magic to...k-kill you. The ring creates an explosion....th-that can engulf an-nything within it. G-get out of it...now..." she told him.

"You must be mistaken, you're in my way. I'll be giving you the same treatment as your underlings, don't worry about inequality. I'm going to rip out your spine and stab you with it. You will feel pain like never before as I tear you limb from limb for what you've done. You won't get the satisfaction of avenging your minions, you will only join them in death," he said coldly, moving out of the next circle and gaining distance from her. He shot a few normal rounds at the fairy, before just going "fuck it" and firing 5 anti-tank rounds her way.

Marie was send flying from the force push but along the way swung her blade to deflect the lightsabers thrown at her and channel daemonic energy at her blade to absorb the sith lightning thrown at her. Victoria manage to dodge most of the attacks send against her but as sith lightning was heading towards her Jephet appeared before her and protected them both.

With the attacks done on Marie and feeling the pulse of healing energy the woman charge forward to battle and her daemonic blade clashing with the sith lord while from her free hand she fired a beam that went through several ghosts. The other spirits all focus their attack on the group with one force choking Jacob and another using the force to choke Serena while shooting lightning at her.

With the ship above the group the other looked up and well most were surprised to see an actual naval vessel floating above them. "Okay, now we have officially went full anime here." Elizabeth stated with a dull tone at seeing Kongou. When Yoko revealed that her children were being held captive by the master of the cult Elizabeth and Alexandria both felt symapthic for the kitsune, both imaging how they would have felt if they were in her sandals. However while they felt sorry for her the two weren't going to trust her instantly, especially Elizabeth who had her tenebraes be inside Yoko's shadow to take her out should she try to attack the group.

When Serena told Alex that Star forgot to add in blood circulation she wanted to ask how she was still running but decided not to ask that question. "If we make it through this I want that installed. It feels weird not being able to bleed." she admitted. For Alexandria not being able to bleed is almost reminding her that she was still not alive even though she has a new body. The witch was soon told about the facility that housed researchers who studied Reaper Indoctrination and what happened to them.

"so we are fighting against an enemy who even trying to understand them would drive us mad and become their puppet. great,
cyber cthulhus, just the sort of enemies i want to deal with." the midget skeleton complained. Sans plan was now wrecked if just being around Reaper tech is dangerous. "i'm glad you warn me about the dangers but now i have no idea how i can help you since if studying it can turn me into a pawn. i know i'm a skeleton but i rather not risk being indoctrinated by them." Surprisingly Reaper of all people appeared from black smoke to offer Sans a solution.

"Why not use the mad scientists from AEGIS to study the tech. Most of those guys are crazy to begin with and from what I gather they are willing to put down any researcher that is showing signs of becoming a Reaper puppet." Sans hated the idea that Reaper proposed and he let the masked merc know it. "i may not like them as much as most people but even they don't deserve that fate. no one is going to research their tech unless we find a way to protect ourselves from their indoctrination." Reaper only grumbled at the skeleton's response.

"And how do you suppose we will find this magic immunity? From fairy dust and wishful thinking? No. I know enough from that group that they are willing to do whatever it takes if they think there is a threat against humanity which the Reapers are." he looked at Shepherd. "The Reapers are invading your galaxy right Shepherd? There is an organization filled with mad scientist who can make the impossible a reality and who are willing to make the necessary sacrifices to save human lives." Sans soon spoke up.

"shepherd, i know things are pretty grim in your world now but do not listen to this guy. if the reapers can turn a god against his will imagine what else they can do now? the reapers can probably turn everyone in aegis into drones under their control and i rather have an aegis that can think for themselves than them being under the control of the reapers because i don't want to know what sort of crazy eldritch magic and paratech they have in their disposal and no one else in the multiverse wants to know, especially if they are used against all organic life."

The two would continue to tell Shepherd why each ones idea would work while explaining the flaws of each idea. Alexandria heard what the Reapers were like and well she felt nervous over the idea of a race from another galaxy coming over with the sole intent to destroy all civilization and doing so in a cycle. With what she was hearing from the two arguing parties Alex didn't get involved as she turn to Shepherd. "I won't judge you for which option you pick. If I was in your position I would do whatever it takes to save every last innocent being in my galaxy... even if it cost me dearly." Alex looked at her daughter and grandkids as she held her amulet, the three main sources that would motivate her to fight with everything she got.

With Elizabeth she still kept petting Rin as she had a soft spot for cats, even ones who were mostly human-looking. As she told her where to go and what to use Elizabeth rewarded her by petting and scratching both her ears. "Thanks Rin, how do you feel like having a taste seafood lunch or dinner once we defeat Infinity sound as a reward for helping us?" she said with a smile. When the new group appeared Elizabeth gave Rin one last pet before getting up and walking over to get close to Tadz.

Elizabeth saw the avengers was with him and what most couldn't see was a cloak Sombra was always hiding in the ship. The Avengers looked at Elizabeth and the air between the woman and the group of heroes was awkward and tense, both parties remembering clearly the first time they met and how one was being a menace. Tony was checking out the woman. "So you decided to try a new look huh?" the man said as he continue to look up and down at the woman. "That magical girl get up was better on you to be honest." the comment made Elizabeth chuckle. "It was better for you because that one showed more skin compare to this." Tony didn't deny that was one of the reasons he preferred her in her sailor fuku over the current garb.

Elizabeth turn her attention to Tadz, giving him a smile. "Nice to see you Tadz, I almost thought I wasn't going to see you again. All we need now is James, Marie, and Gaster and the old gang would be together to take out Infinity once and for all." Cade was watching the meeting, recalling who Tadz was from his mother's story until he finally remembered. With Aja when she heard about what Touko has she placed her hand on the girl's forehead and a green aura surrounded both Touko and Aja. Touko would feel her skin moving as the scars were being cleared away. Once the process was done Aja moved away. "That should take care of your physical scars." she said with a smile.

Strange saw the Un-man run off and while he was ready to chase after it his attention turn to Samuel who was limping towards him even in his condition. Strange didn't even so much put a slight show to be in a defensive position as he knew that the bard can't harm him in his current condition, quite the opposite really, he was harming himself more with his desperate attempt at wanting to lunge at the sorcerer. As he grabbed his ankles Strange gave the bard no expression, no hint of anger or sorrow, the only hint of emotions was the hint of pity he had for the bard through his eyes.

Strange gently shook off the grip of the bard as he passed out and his already weak grip on him become nonexistent. "If I can't change than neither can you. Maybe a part of me would always be the old me but I will still move forward to prove to you that human can change and if not we can improve who we are. Humans can change Samuel, even if you won't see it I will prove to you that humans are not doom to always be who they were in the past."

Strange picked up the bard and began to walk back to the Aquila. His hands may not be useful to operate on the bard but he can still assist the medimachines within the ship to save the bard before he bleeds to death. Once inside the ship a humanoid droid awaited for him and took the bard, rushing to the infirmary as Strange followed it. Once they were in the room Strange and the machines inside began their operation.

With Hex it took her newly augmented mind seconds to process what happen, an invisible force manage to hit her with enough kinetic force to left her off and slam her body on the wall. The power armor protected her somewhat from the kinetic force of the attack and impact on the wall but Hex still felt that she would develop a bruise and if not sprain a few bones probably broke them. Yet her enhanced regeneration ability was now working as the damage done to her body was healing.

Hex knew that was the time to activate the adrenaline surge. She ran to get her gauss rifle and as the general was distracted by the PA systems turning on to announce the capture of the base as not only was the natural process of an adrenaline rush was coursing through her body but just she was going to active her trump card Yoochi got in the way and revealed his, a geass in which he used to order the general to kill himself.

Hex was glad the man was dead but was also miffed that she couldn't properly test out her new adrenaline surge and almost used it on a defeated opponent. "So how long have you had that power Yoochi?" the woman asked.

[Petrokovia]

"My name is Colonel Petit, though most know me as Tadayoshi by now. This is the Space Battleship Kongou. I guess you could say we're old friends of some of the guys you're with. We're here to help stop Infinity." Tadayoshi explained.

Kongou stepped forwards, and created stair made out of purple energy extending from the ship's deck to the ground. She gracefully walked downward, stepping on the ground.

"You all have permission to come aboard." she said.

When Serena boarded, Gold and Ty stepped forward.
"We're doing pretty good." Gold said, nonchalantly. "Still a bit tired, though. You won't believe what we've been through!"
"Yeah... Yo, I should warn you, I don't think your ship's AI and Tadz here are gonna get along. She kinda rustled his jimmies."
Gold chuckled.
"Oh, yeah. She explained everything, so we're all caught up."

When Elizabeth came aboard, Tadayoshi smiled.
"Oh, yeah... No idea where James or Marie are, but..." he turned to Kongou, who was coming up the steps.
"Hey, Gaster's aboard, right?"
"Yes. After your battle in Antarctica, I made sure he was placed in the medical facility. If you wish, I can wake him."
"Sure. We could use all the help we could get."
Kongou sent a signal to the medical bay to wake up Gaster.

Meanwhile, Simon looked at the other heroes in awe.
"Oh, more new crew members! Groovy."
"Hah, you're the noob here, Simon." Ty blurted out. "We've been workin' with these guys for a long time."

Tadyaoshi then realized several of the heroes didn't know about the end of the Ockham's Razor, and were confused by Kongou's appearance.
"So, some of you, uh, might be put off by the new ship... It's a long story, but I can explain it in detail when we're under way. For now, know that Wilfre attacked my world, we went to defend it, and he shot down my ship... He teleported the wreck to a different world to try to finish us off, but Kongou here came and helped us out. She's agreed to be my ship for a while, until I find a new ship."

His expression turned sour for a moment.
"...Fay and Muffet died during the battle... We've... Had a rough time. Though, I'd imagine you aren't in much of a better boat..."
"Actually, they are, now. It's called Kongou." Ty joked, to try to diffuse the tension.
Kongou simply glared at him.
"I'm not an object." she said, coldly.
Shivers went down Ty's spine.
Jesus, the sooner Tadz finds a new ship, the better. She's creepy and can't cook eggs for shit.

"So..." Tadayoshi began. "Uh, who's currently leading your group?" he asked. "Do you know exactly where in this robot Infinity is?"

"Hmm... We could always hold them like shields..." Bloodfyre offered. "And make them out of polished metal. Aluminium or brass would do nicely on a budget. Indeed, they are light as well, so we could make them large enough to cover the entire body without being too heavy. We should make disks that are concave, so that we may direct the light, rather than convex, like most shields are."

Bloodfyre thought for a moment, then clarified.
"If you can find any structure with aluminium or brass in it, I can make the shields using field alchemy."

Then Pobeda mentioned communicating with Dal.
"But what language does she speak? I have never heard of it before. Does anyone here speak it?"

[Prusselanden]

"Well your lover was in our way, and so are you!"

The circle caused a great explosion, and Secesh had just barely escaped. Some rubble fell from the ceiling as a result of this explosion, and if Secesh looked up, he would find it ripped a hole through the roof. Feileacan cursed and drove her sword into the ground again, muttering the same spell. Another silver circle appeared under Secesh, beginning to glow.

Konny limply propped herself up against the table she had been strapped too, still shivering and sneezing.
"I-I'm going to be fine....She's...she's trying to use explosive magic to...k-kill you. The ring creates an explosion....th-that can engulf an-nything within it. G-get out of it...now..." she told him.

He shot a few normal rounds at the fairy, before just going "fuck it" and firing 5 anti-tank rounds her way.

Konny rolled out of the way of The explosion. Fella an grunted as she dodged three of the round, but was hit by two of them and thrown into a wall. When the smoke cleared, half of Feileacan's body was badly seared or burned off.

She grunted in pain and lifted her rifle, aiming unsteadily for Secesh. "I will...kill you...just..wait...." She shot a few bullets his way, then collapsed on the ground.

[The Palmetto]

Yunnan

One of the bullets had hit Secesh in the thigh, and though his healing factor would repair it, it was still immensely painful. Letting out a roar of pain, he furiously marched to where she had landed. He knocked her gun away from her, then gripping her burnt arm. With a mighty pull, he ripped it off and threw it to the side. He did the same with the remnants of her wings, then violently brushed her face into the ground, staining it in blood.
"Time for you to join your brethren," The old cyborg said coldly. He lifted her from the ground, and twisted her body in horrible ways, causing an explosion of innards and gore to land on the South Carolinian.
Throwing her body to the ground once more, he stomped on it with all his might for several minutes before walking over to Konny. Grabbing his steel knife, he began cutting her restraints before gently picking her up in his blood-stanched arms and setting her on the ground.
"Are you ok?" He asked her.

Upon getting patched up, Samuel awoke from his deep unconsciousness, groggy but nonetheless alive, to the sight of Strange and Wong Tjin-fei standing by the side of his bed. He blinked several times, wiped the dried tears from his eyes, and turned his head to look at Strange.

"Where's Henry?" he asked, the anger in his voice from before all but gone. "Why isn't he here?"

Wong looked uneasily at Strange.

"It seems that Henry... is no longer with us", he nervously stuttered, attempting to adjust the remnants of his glasses so he could see out of the few shards remaining. "His body has been taken over by the Un-man."

"Rubbish", Samuel spat in reply, climbing out of the bed without regard for the fact that he had just had a deep stab wound patched up. "Henry isn't the sort who'd go and die so easily."

"But Samuel-"

"Shut up. You don't know Henry like I do. Nobody here does. He's not dead."

Wong looked uneasily at Strange again. He dug about in his pockets for the thumb drive Eyjuin had acquired, before passing it to Samuel, who took it with a look of slight confusion.

"It seems that Eyjuin has located a few rooms where your cello might be in", said Wong in an attempt to cheer Samuel up, still trying to find a sweet spot for his glasses. "If we have time, we'll go look for-"

"Fuck the cello. We're gonna go look for Henry." Clutching his wound, covered in bandages and still bleeding, Samuel limped out of the hospital room and, soon, out of the Aquila completely, barefoot and dressed only in bandages and a pair of light green hospital scrub pants.

The glasses fell off Wong's face as he stood there, dumbfounded.

Before the distraught Yocchi even had a chance to answer Hex's question, or even to correct her bizarre mispronouncing of his nickname as "Yoochi", the sound of heavy, thumping footsteps came ringing through the sterile corridor, as the figure of the Un-man, still in Henry's bullet riddled, bloodied body, came trudging towards him, Hex, Ackerman, Yotsuha, and F.F., brandishing a large fire extinguisher.

"All of you, why do you run?" it asked cryptically, stepping on the dead Aulfbua Soeheg XII's head and smashing its skull like an egg, splashing gore all over the vicinity. "Why do you escape from the peaceful darkness?"

The Un-man reached for Ackerman and, before xe could run away, seized xer by the elbow, brutally suppressing the bodyguard and stepping on the back of xer knee. It raised the fire extinguisher, prepared to smash Ackerman's skull, and would have done so if it weren't for Yocchi leaping at him and knocking him over, sending him skidding across the floor some distance.

"Do you want to go to the darkness too?" The Un-man asked Yocchi, in a tone almost caring and fatherly in its tone.

Yocchi grunted, restraining the Un-man's powerful arms with all his might, as he straddled what used to be Henry's body, looking straight into its eyes.

"I order you", he commanded, one of his eyes turning the bright magenta of his Geass, tears dribbling from both, "get out of Henry's body!"

The Un-man struggled, let out one final roar, and then it was gone. Henry's mutilated body fell limp, its greyish-blue eyes staring blankly into space. The PA system crackled to life once more.

"I am General Hu Jue of the Chinese Resistance Force. This message is to the crew of the Aquila. We have entered the Aincrad Fortress to rescue you. Stay where you are and avoid engaging enemies unnecessarily.

One of the bullets had hit Secesh in the thigh, and though his healing factor would repair it, it was still immensely painful. Letting out a roar of pain, he furiously marched to where she had landed. He knocked her gun away from her, then gripping her burnt arm. With a mighty pull, he ripped it off and threw it to the side. He did the same with the remnants of her wings, then violently brushed her face into the ground, staining it in blood.
"Time for you to join your brethren," The old cyborg said coldly. He lifted her from the ground, and twisted her body in horrible ways, causing an explosion of innards and gore to land on the South Carolinian.
Throwing her body to the ground once more, he stomped on it with all his might for several minutes before walking over to Konny. Grabbing his steel knife, he began cutting her restraints before gently picking her up in his blood-stanched arms and setting her on the ground.
"Are you ok?" He asked her.

Konny's body would feel unusually hot as he picked her up.
"I'm...fine. How about you? She hit you in the leg pretty bad."" Konny sneezed, sniffled, and felt Secesh's bullet wound shakily.
"I could...I could heal it faster for you." she suggested. " We should be pretty close to Terry right now. We have to get on going soon. That way, we can find her and keep her safe from the rest of the fairies-Choo!."

As Jack was subdued by the guards, Cynder forced herself to land. She knew full well the city knew of her now. As she folded her wings, now healed enough for her to use them again, she also crouched down and sat, catlike, with her tail wrapped around her paws, bearing a fierce, blade-like terminus that she was capable of using like a sword. However, while her hide granted some measure of resistance to bladed weaponry, she was virtually defenseless against firearms. She considered using the initial moment to use her shadow magic and bore underground, but she didn't know if they were able to mount some kind of defense against her, or a field preventing her use of magic altogether. Stymied, she stated simply, "I seek your leader, for I knew her once and we fought side by side in battle, it is she who saved my Temple and knows how I may return home. I do not seek to harm you or your people, but attack me and I will defend myself."

Cynder would see the members of the city guard wearing a black bodysuit with many pieces of armor, both metal and leather, attached to the suit, the color also black with the helmets covering the faces of the group to mask their identity and to protect their faces. As the creature before them their body language gave away that they were surprised by Cynder being able to speak.

"That thing can talk?" a deep sounding male spoke out in surprise.

"How can that thing speak?" A female guard added in.

Soon the guards were ordered by their captain to stop asking questions as he looked down at the dragon, like the rest his face was obscured. "You claim to know the Matriarch? We will take you to see her but if we find out that you are lying you will pay for your deception." the guard warned as he order two of them to take Cynder to the same cruiser that Jack was in.

Once the two were in the car the police squad began to drive through the road, however they were not taking them to the Citadel as Cynder would have wanted. Instead they will find themselves inside the police station so they will be detained. The two were taken out of the vehicle and were lead inside the building. Once in they would see the many police officers and city guards inside the building along with a few robots made to assist with the police.

The two would see a few more people who were arrested being taken for questioning as Jack was lead down the hall to the cells, Cynder instead was lead to some chairs outside and was told to wait to see if the Matriarch can even leave the Citadel to see her. Once the door open the guard who was in charge of watching the cell took his eyes away from a monitor and looked at the two. "So if it isn't the crazy guy from the news. I hope you had the time of your life doing that little stunt of yours because chances are you won't see your bike ever again." The guard told Jack, the samurai staying silent. The guard got up and walked them down the cell until he open it and the guards that lead the two through the building shoved Jack into the cells, the door closed.

Now in his cell Jack sat on the floor and began to mediate, trying to find peace and to clear his mind so he can form a plan to escape from his cell. Elsewhere in the city Scaramouche was having the time of his life as he was sight seeing like a tourist in the city, while he was taking a break for his mission he didn't forget why he was here as during his sight seeing he was gathering information about the city and the twins, he knew which school to target to find them. It was only by luck that he didn't check the news to find out about Jack's arrest.

She allowed her self to be taken where they wanted her. This being the only way she could be handled, as being a full-grown dragon meant she could resist them easily if she wanted to. When she was taken to a room, it was a relief that she would not be kept as a prisoner. Eventually, she grew bored and tried to lay down, but her body refused to cooroperate in such a small room. Of course she could just destroy what was in her way, but that would probably make her situation worse. Instead, she decided to wait....for now.

Yul System, the Ecumene Verse

All was as normal as it could be given the recent circumstances. With so many extra universal visitors, the orbital perimiters of Thessia, Liasha and Miyesmos had been put on high alert. The Home Fleet had been put on standby, and all Jumpspace vectors into and out of the system were being monitored from Armarli Station. The fleets of Holy Reconciliation and Unyielding Defiance were also mobilized, ready to defend the home system of the Ecumene.

"You're burning up, you must be getting sick," he said, "I can carry you if you might slow us down."
He brushed her hand away from his bullet wound.
"It'll only take a few minutes, half an hour at worst. But we can't think about that now, we need to find Terry. Come on, we've waited long enough," He told her, before setting out of the shrine to go look for his daughter.
"Is there the way?" He asked her, staring at the direction they had been traveling before.

Konny wiped her nose and staggered to her feet, nodding at him.
"Wait a minute. Let me see where she is." Konny closed her eyes to detect Terry's location. "She's hiding in the shrine with a small thousand armed bodhisattva. It's Golden as well. We need to find that shrine."

Although Konny thought of waking the way there, she eventually realized she was too ill at the moment and looked over at Secesh.
"I'm very light. I won't slow you down. Promise."

Most were impressed with Kongou's entrance. "you made an interesting friend there tadz. what else can she do?" Sans asked as he and the others all board the ship. As Papyrus walked around he bumped into someone he couldn't see and soon Sombra was revealed. "Hey watch where you're going." she complained. Before Papyrus can apologize she turn invisible again. "TADZ YOU HAVE A GHOST IN THE SHIP!" Papyrus shouted to warn the captain.

"I wouldn't say ghost and more of a spy." Alphys responded back. "She is also a hacker." Reaper heard Frisk ask if they know her. "Yes, her name is Sombra and she is curious hacker from my world. We work together on missions from time to time." he explains. Soon the news of Gaster came up and that got the brothers, Frisk, and other monsters attention. "YOU HAVE DAD ON BOARD! PLEASE TAKE US TO HIM!/you have dad on board! please take us to him!" the brothers requested as they spoke as one.

When Simon talked about the new crew and was told by Ty that he was new Aja spoke up. "Actually he is right, some of us here are new to the Saturn." the girl knew that sooner or later she and Cade will have to explain who they are and the part of her that resonate with her mother's more mischievous aspect of her personality couldn't wait to see their reactions. The girl held back giggles at the funny faces that appeared in her mind.

Soon Tadz told them about the Razor and the deaths of Fey and Muffet. The monsters were hit by the news the worst since they knew her more than the others, the other members who were with Muffet from the first adventure also took the news hard. "Yeah we had our own issues as well. Our leader now is Serena and I think she will fill you in on the main details while the rest of us will fill in the smaller bits because it is a long and stupidly complicated story." the exasperated mage told Tadz.

"As for where Infinity is located at Metru Nui, the capital city of this universe." she told Tadz.

Strange was putting away the gloves that he used to control the robotic arms above Samuel that performed the life saving surgery on him while the bard was unconscious. Once the bard was awake Strange looked at him as Samuel began to ask for Henry. Strange stay silent as he let Wong explained to the bard what happened to his friend.

Strange sighed at how the bard was acting, being in denial over what happen to Henry. When he outright refused to find the cello just to find Henry the sorcerer knew that Samuel was not thinking rationally. As the bard left Strange walked over to a holographic projection and type down the order for the machines in the ship. "Wong give me the drive, I will have the robots here find the cello." Once he was done inputting the commands he began to walk out of the room to follow the bard and stop him from getting himself killed.

With Hex she was staring at the thing that was once Henry. Once more Hex was ready to act when Ackerman was attacked but like before she barely did a thing Yocchi used his powers and made the creature inside of Henry leave his body. Now that the Un-man was gone Hex walked over to Henry's body. She looked down at his body for a few minutes before pointing her rifle at his head, her finger on the trigger to blow his head and to insure that the Un-man will not return to the body.

Secesh responded by sitting her down on his massive shoulder pauldron.
"So be it. How close is she?" He said, walking out with Konny on his shoulder and continuing his quest to find his daughter once more.
