"What!?" Ackerman whispered loudly, luckily restraining xerself enough to not shout. "The traitor is your father? Wow...that...really sucks. It must've hurt to find that out. Thanks for telling us, Ilya, I would have never guessed."

"I can safely say though , I can assist you if you are in need of killing your father, I am willing to take on the deed. It will be clean, traceless, and after that we can have you succeed him so there won't be a power vacuum forming."

Aegis
Ackerman smiled at Jan-Ci, but did not approach her to avoid interfering with her physical therapy. "Hey, how've you been?"

Xe noticed Yoichi staring at Ilya, but not in a hostile way. Ackerman remembered seeing Yoichi and Zi-Xiang making love earlier in the woods, and snickered.
"Don't be such a Kitsune, eh, Yoichi?" xe joked at the man. "Anyways, I already have a pretty good idea on how to kill Herr Timoschenko, but in the grander scale of things, I'll need to leave it up to Koizumi-san, Frau Hex, und Herr Strange."

Uska appeared from behind the four, walking over to Ackerman. "How'd it go?"

"Ilya's Vater is zhe traitor in she Left Arm und ve must kill him."

Uska took a deep sigh and looked over at the young man, his hands folded.

Hyrule: Battleground

Zev padded out of the portal behind Haxon, the sounds of battle suddenly assualting his ears. He looked back, through the portal, where he could see the warm, safe interior of The Bar... It slapped shut and the wolf let out a surprised yelp.
Facing his new destination again, his amulet clinking on it's chain, he felt afraid, just like he did when he fell through a portal into The Bar. Haxon had made him feel at home though. He trusted Haxon. And Haxon lead him here... He must have a reason.

He watched the battle for a few moments, trying to work out what was going on. Thankfully, they were on the outskirts of the battle, had they arrived in the midst of it, well, that'd be bad. It looked like there was an army of strange beings, clad in white. They were all clutching black objects, that spat fire. There were a few huge, horrificly shiny monsters, lumbering slowly around that also seemed able to expel fire from their bodies. There were others, with beams of fire that somehow kept it's shape.
But that wasn't all.
Around a huge stone structure- on it too! - there were humans. He knew humans. They were fighting back at the unnatural creatures but their fire was too much for the defenders.
There also seemed to be three terrifying creatures, like wolves, but their bodies resembled human form. One appeared to be injured and was being carried away by his companions.
Zev whined in fear about all this, pressing himself against Haxon's leg.

Hyrule: Battleground
Haxon had appeared from the portal a few minutes before Zev did, and awaited his companion at a nearby boulder that gave a clear view of the battleground if stood on. He had travelled to many exotic galaxies, but this place was alien to him. Haxon stood atop the boulder, peering into the fray. He saw what seemed to be soldiers clad in white, wielding weaponry Haxon could only assume was of an advanced futuristic technology compared to that which he was accustomed to. Haxon gazed towards what seemed to be a four-legged mech of some sorts, used for warfare he could tell as it fired at troops below.
He still felt the burning of the strange symbol on his left hand as Zev approached and rubbed himself against Haxon's leg. He could tell the beast was just as confused as he on why they emerged here of all places, and not where Haxon had originally intended.
"Im not sure where we are actually. I'm just as confused as you." Haxon brushed Zevs left flank in attempt to calm him. "I'm not sure about you, but I feel.. weakened. Like I'm not all here, like something about this place is sapping my strength."
Haxon took another look amongst the battle, and he too saw the huge stone structure. There too were soldiers, and what seemed to be beast-like men, held up in a poor state of defense about the building. The opposing force clad in white were closing in, and seemed to be overwhelming the defenders.
"You see them too, right Zev? Humans, and they look to be in trouble. Perhaps we should help?"

Doug
Courtyard (ruins)/Hyrule Field

He had no idea how long he had been under the corner-piece for, only that neither Ren nor the mech guy had seen him yet. Which was good. Doug shifted a bit beneath the thing that was covering him but then stopped moving when he felt a swift jab of pain; the pain grew as the pilot felt his organs begin to shift within him; he felt his spine crack as he was forced to all fours, wildly wondering what was happening to him -

- It was silent, save for those fighting, then, the corner piece exploded.
When the dust settled, there stood a furred bipedal creature, barely clothed in the ruins of a flight suit, his blue eyes piercing the dust cloud that rose up around him. Whatever the thing was, he turned and left the area as fast as possible, only wanting to get away from the battle.

Doug's mind was in turmoil as he ran through the wheat fields, heading in no certain direction. But then he stopped, having heard a familiar voice.
The man-turned-werewolf made his way into the Fairy Fountain and hung around by the entrance, not sure what to do.
Hopefully they'll see what I'm wearing and realize what happened to me, if not...
He didn't want to finish that thought.

Mark grunted again; everyone was still asking him questions. "I said I'll explain everything at my apartment! Let's go! And bring the arrows!"

With the unconscious James and Marie in tow, and several more injured, everyone made their way onto the alleyway and onto the street. The group earned themselves plenty of bewildered looks, especially towards the giant in the futuristic armor - there must have been a convention today.

The apartment building was one of the first buildings after they exited the alley. Single file, they all entered the building, but Mark encountered an issue when it was Draigo's turn to enter.

"You don't think you can get out of that suit?" He asked. He shook his head immediately afterwards. "Wait, no. You can't, can you? Uh..." He turned to Damian. "You should be able to teleport him inside, right? I think he'll fit in the apartment... I hope"

Leaving Damian and Draigo outside, Mark led everyone to a run-down apartment a few stories up. The living room that they entered into was almost completely empty besides a couch and a trash bin. Various papers were scattered about the room, with some burnt scraps still clinging to the trash bin. Mark and Victoria layed James and Marie onto the couch, barely fitting the two on.

Once that was down, Mark turned to the rest. "If you have an arrow with you, just give them to me. Once everyone's here... I'll start explaining everything"

“A school teacher and his students? Co sudering everything that has happened in here you lot are by far normal by comparison.” In her minds she kept the words for now since she doesn’t know who they are so they may be prove to be more odd characters that found their way to the Traveler by dumb luck.

When Penny asked how the tech works Elizabeth shook her head. “I’m not the tech expert here. You’ve gonna ask sleeping beauty over there that question once he wakes up or ask his AI roommate.” When Cocco walked up to the witch and examined her she was going to ask what she wanted befotevthe beret wearing girl mention that she like her attire.

“Thanks kid, I just brought them from some store in London. The trench coat on the other hand was given to me by my legal guardian when I was eighteen.” Elizabeth wasn’t going to tell this girl that the trench coat was passed down from one mage to another.

“So what’s your name? My name is Elizabeth Ashwood.” She extended her hand to shake it when Weiss soon appeared. “Yeah those portals suck. They either drop you off somewhere on your face or they drop someone on top of you.”

When it was revealed that Ilya was the traitor Hex was livided. “Are freaking kidding me!” The woman placed her hand on her face as she sighed, remembering now that in her world treachery was still a major problem when it comes to The Secert World.

When they return back to the headquarters of the Japanese division of AEGIS the special ops specialist had heard what Ilya’s son told them about his father’s reason for working for the IGSE and that he is close to giving out thevlocation of this universe to the IGSE.

“The problem here is that the Overseers may consuder you group to be a threat to this world's safety since your father, the Left Arm’s leader, is giving away information to the IGSE to help them invade this world. I wouldn’t be surprised if they think that your group may have more traitors hiding in your ranks. So you guys are going to have a hard time convincing them not to dismantle the Left Arm to eliminate any other traitors in the organization’s ranks.”

She explained. “But they may keep your organization around since you know more about the IGSE and we will need valuable information like that encase they ever find us, either way your father’s betrayal will hamper relations between our organizations. Also I will help you kill your father since this is my world we’re talking about. I’m sure I can get others to agree to helping me so long as I don’t mention the fact that your father is the leader of the Left Arm.”

When Ackerman suggested on his the pain should go Hex was silent. “I think we can best get rid of Ilya by making his death appear accidental. The organization won’t suffer the risk of collapsing if their leader fired due to chance.” Strange agreed with Hex on making the death appear to be an accident. “Of course the best question now us how do we make his death appear to be an accident.”

Damian looked around in the city while Jephet floated unseen by the public, the angel now invisible. When they reached the apartment Daimanbresponded with a sure to Nark’s request on teleporting Draigo inside. The two men vanished and appeared inside Mark’s apartment, now inside Damian looked around. “Did you just moved in? ” he asked. Damian gave Mark one of the arrows.

Terry handed Mark her arrow, along with Cascabel's. "Here. If the arrow couldn't knock out someone like Cascabel, however, how could it have been strong enough to render James and Marie unconscious?"

"Didn't he say he'd say everything later? Be patient." Cascabel hissed and groaned in pain.

"It's simple, we place a stool near him and just kill him with a head wound. It'll look like he was standing on it and just fell and knocked his head out." Ackerman suggested.

Oobleck was in shock. Not even Atlas could create that kind of technology. It was like there was some sort of projector showing this woman. "I'm Doctor Oobleck. This is Penny Polendina." He motioned to where Penny stood motionless, staring at Aicy.

Penny saw Aicy and her eyes lit up. This was a robot, just like her. "Sal-u-tations!" she announced loudly.

Oobleck continued, "Coco Adel." Coco straightened her sunglasses and waved. She was more interested in the clothing Elizabeth was wearing. Whatever clothing store she got those in must have been one good clothing store.

"Velvet Scarletina," Oobleck added, pointing toward the rabbit-eared girl next to Velvet. Velvet waved shyly and looked away nervously.

"I'm Weiss Shnee," Weiss finished as she dusted herself off. "Though, that portal did save my life." She took Elizabeth's hand. "My airship was attacked by a Nevermore. The ship was on a crash-course, so I had to jump out of the plane with the only parachute. Another Nevermore attacked me. The feathers sliced through the parachute, sending me tumbling down until I fell straight through a portal."

Hyrule Castle
Kylo Ren glared at this newcomer. Apparently he thought that he was referring to the Sith Race, not the Way of the Sith. "Allow me to rectify that, fool!" shouted Kylo, releasing a blast of lightning that made his opponent's look like child's play. He then ignited his cross-guarded lightsaber. "Your pathetic Sith ways have failed."

Lana and Cia both looked at one another. Lana sighted Doug from across the ruins. "THAT TRI-FORCE IS MINE!" shouted Cia, standing up. She summoned an army of Dark Links around her, and motioned for them to attack.

Lana sighed. She created several magical barriers around the two Darksiders. A moment later they exploded, throwing the Darksiders into one another, just in time for the Dark Links to attack the stunned foes.
Hyrule Field
Despite their superior weaponry, the Stormtroopers bolted and ran as Link began a one-man war on them. Several scattered Hylian soldiers rallied to him as he began to push back the enemy.

Impa and Lana knelt in front of the Great Fairy Fountain and offered prayers. So much depended on the Great Fairy's intervention that it couldn't fail.
Hyrule Village
Linkle was still engaging Ventress, who was darting here and there, getting closer and closer. Ventress deflected every single shot Linkle fired. Finally Ventress leaped on top of Linkle, throwing her to the ground. "How painful shall I make this?" she asked, placing the lightsaber at Linkle's neck. Linkle struggled to speak. "WHat's that? Very painful. I agree fully." Linkle's face turned from fear to courage as a shining light came from the compass she swung around her neck.

Across the village, Grievous placed his metal foot on Taylor's neck. "I wouldn't move if I were you," he wheezed. "Your energy swords will make a fine addition to my collection."
Meeting House
The newcomer was not Link, but he reminded one of Link. For one, his clothes were not the green cloak everyone knew of as belonging to Link. Second, some kind of ancient technology was at his waist.

"My personal designation is Fi," Fi replied. "And this is Midna, Princess of Twilight, and Darunia, Chief of the Goron Tribe."

"A little confused about this village?" asked Midna. "It was the subject of an attack of some kind."

"When I get my hands on them, I will crush them with my hammer!" bellowed Darunia.

Exodus

Exodus trembled, almost unconcious from the pain of his crippled leg and the pressure Grevious was putting on his neck. The sith could end his life just by putting a little more weight on him... His sword was lying on the ground and Taylor's heart sank. It was way too far away for him to grab.

Reiyo

Reiyo looked on in alarm. He lifted his foot, ready to run over and literally punch Grevious into next week, when he was swarmed by troopers running away from a certain hero of Hyrule. He tried pushing away from them, but as soon as they realised he filled the two criteria they were following; a, Kill the enemy and b, avoid Link at all costs- They began firing on him.

When the Lightning got close to Dakoolon, he cloaked himself using the force and moved out of the way, albeit by the skin of his teeth, and started moving behind Kylo. Once he was behind him he I cloaked himself and began to force rush the knight while saying,"you are the fool to think I'm still aligned with my failure of an empire, that's why I left it and created the eternal empire with only me ruling it, infighting leads all to ruin. The sith empire was just a side experiment, to see if infighting would ruin help or harm my main goal, The eternal empire. Lo and behold, it would have hurt it." That's when he was sent flying into Kylo via the explosion.

However he landed on his feet, and chiding himself for not paying attention to his surroundings and only the battle. When the dark links attacked he just waved his hand, sending bolts of force lightning down from the sky, striking some of them. His lightsaber, back where he was launched into Kylo, Dakoolon used the force to send it to him. Catching the lightsaber he started cutting down the links that got close to him.

“That seems to simple of a plan to work. Plus having to be so close to him would posses a problem because knowing our luck he most likely knows martial arts and as supernatural powers. No we need to kill him quickly so he can’t react in time to our attack.” Hex replied back.

Elizabeth shook Weiss’s hand and heard her story about her airship being attacked by an Edgar Allen Poe story. Elizabeth. She tell from Oobleck that he was in geek heaven, Cocco was most likely the cool and laidback member, Velvet was the shy one, and Penny was odd. She can see her aura yet the red head’s aura gave the witch a funny vibe as a gunmetal solid outline can be seen from the bright yellow aura, nothing threatening but a hint that this girl wasn’t normal.

“Than again who can be considered normal in the bloody shit.” Elizabeth spoke. “You say feathers so we’re you attacked by a giant raven that say Nevermore?” The witch asked.

Several hours later...
The Bloody Battlefield

After getting aquatinted with their sole new companion, the "heroes" set off once more for the village. After all of this time, they were finally near, with barely five miles left. They had been traveling inside of a dark coral forest, and between them and their final destination was a massive patch of muddy land, covered in half-burried , old mecha, all covered in and leaking gore.

Almost all of them were a dull blue and gold, long worn out by the elements. Human body parts were scattered here and there, but a corpse just barely intact was impossible to find. Upon further examination, many of them looked too small to be traditional mecha, some would've been 10 feet tall if they were still intact. But scattered parts of white, black, and gold implied that some larger beast had once dwelled here, but it had been destroyed by war.

Aestus cautiously waited, letting his feet sit in the muddy earth before walking into the battlefield. It was empty and devoid of life, and gave off an unnerving vibe to the lesser god.
"There should be anything wrong here, but let's be careful. If F5 managed to continue to operate after all this time, maybe some others managed to as to well," He suggested to the rest of his group, before slowly treading into the field.

F5 looked around nervously, his eyes looking around him anxiously. He knew something that the others didn't. His gun arm was raised and ready as he walked beside Aestus, easily outpacing him with his longer legs. There was an eerie silence in the battlefield, and then, it came to a sudden end.

A massive cybernetic gecko burst from the ground, letting out a massive roar as it rose to face the group. She was mostly white with gray and black patterns, along with various cybernetics and burn marks that dotted her body. She snarled ravenously, and then began to chuckle.
"I'm just messing you asshats, I'm not actually a speechless monster, I'm just a regular monster! You'll be speechless after this fight, though, mostly because you'll be dead," she said, laughing at her own idiotic remark.

A a blue orb chest began to glow, and soon, crevices on all of her cybernetics glew as well. She withdrew two long chains with hooks at the end, and began to spun them rapidly until they became a gray blur. Her chains were torrents, threatening to ensnare anything that would dare challenge them.

"I was hoping he would send you," F5 remarked with a grave tone, quickly raising his gun arm and firing a volley of gunfire at her. The gecko's chains deflected them all, showing that they were clearly more than normal weapons. F5 continued to fire some more, before stepping back to fall in with the others.

Aestus swung his axe at her, and the sheer speed of it caused mud to fly out to its sides. It transcended the sound barrier, but the chains were too strong. They snared the axe and changed its course to the back of her, causing it to crash into the battlefield. A small crater was formed, and the gorey mecha woke from their slumber. With loud, inhuman moans they rose, and like zombies, they began to limp and crawl towards the combatants.

[Prusselanden]

Julian whimpered and moved closer to the group after seeing the zombified mechs moving towards them. They were just so...huge. Julian thought she could already feel her flesh sting as she imagined them shooting rounds into her body. She started to shake so much her spear made a clattering sound.
Oh no...how are we going to face off against so many mechs?

Frederick gasped. "It's the Leibniz bots! What's happened to them!?"

Newton rolled his eyes. "They're not Leibniz bots, not everything is made by Leibniz, ok!? I doubt he'd even be advanced enough to create these things." He threw Konrad at Abe for safekeeping, and charged his hands up with calculus energy and blasted it at two mechs. "If they were Leibniz's bots, I'd guarantee'd they'd be smoke by now."

"Chapeau! Teleport something heavy on them!" Frederick yelled at his hat, but it did nothing.
"Cheapeau!? Aw, it fainted again! Stupid hat!"

Konrad struggled and looked at the gecko. "Hey, are you with Aetherus? I reckon I can aid you a bit there if you can just get me free-"

Abe clamped his mouth. "I'm afraid I won't let that happen Mr. Lukasiewiz."

Julian saw Aestus's Axe thrown aside and ran towards it while the time travelers fought the mechs, attempting to retrieve it. Her heart nearly broke out of her chest as she put her hands on its handle.

[Paketo]

The Bloody Battlefield

Just a few more miles till their destination. You would think it would be the easiest part but things never go like that do they? The group came across a battlefield with broken bots and human body parts splayed about. The smell that hit Daniel's nose was a familiar one, the smell of blood and rotting flesh that appeared on every battlefield. It was something a soldier could never forget. It brought back memories that he would rather not remember.

This familiar scent sent his instincts into alarm mode and he quickly unshouldered his rifle and placed the butt to his shoulder. You never know what kind of danger is using the battlefield to cover itself.

Maria had much the same thoughts as Daniel when she came upon the battlefield. She wasn't a frontline soldier like Daniel but had lost many friends fighting monsters, some in gruesome ways. That smell that prickled at her nose turned her stomach into knots. Her hand slowly slid up to her necklace and pulled it down revealing her scythe once again. "I don't like this." She said quietly to her self.

Their caution was proved wise as a cyborg Gecko appeared from the ground with a shriek. It seemed everyone was so stunned by the sudden appearance and shriek that the Gecko was able to draw its weapons, two chains, and began its attack. F-5 began firing but the chains immediately deflected the bullets and then easily dealt with Aestus' Axe which traveled near the speed of sound. Daniel quickly fired a bullet at the gecko going at mach 3 hoping something faster three times faster than the speed of sound might pierce the chains. Of not for the fact his rifle and bullets were made of hearthian metal, they would probably not be able to stand the repeated firing these speeds. That was the only bulleted he fired at the Gecko though his attention changed to focus on the awakening mecha firing a off a succession of shots.

Maria watched as the chains easily deflected the bullets and knew they would be no easy task to defeat. Usually against chains, she would plant her weapon in the ground and trap the chains after they were thrown at her but it didn't seem a option right now. The chains moved to fast for that to be viable strategy in all likelihood. She tried to formulate some kind of strategy but before she could, Jules ran to the middle of the battlefield to retrieve the axe. "Why is she exposing herself alone? the idiot." she nearly screamed to herself.

Maria took off in a sprint after Jules hoping she could prevent the girl from being killed. She brought her scythe down on one mecha splitting it clean in half, the metal giving away easily. Another was missing one leg and quickly found itself legless after he quick hard swipe. When she finally caught up to Jules trying to grab Aestus' axe, she yelled "Idiot, don't isolate yourself unless necessary.". She quickly turned her attention to her surrounding looking for any approaching mecha.

With loud, inhuman moans they rose, and like zombies, they began to limp and crawl towards the combatants.

Suddenly, a huge, blood-red T-rex burst through the trees and onto the battlefield. He roared loudly at the heroes, loud enough to hurt their hearing.
On his back was Friday. She was weaponless but she was grinning like a maniac.

She waved.

"Hey! Julian, Aestus, ya miss me?"
Calling out to her former friends, she noticed the robots waking up. Her eyes turned purple as she "communicated" with them, ordering them to group up on Julian. They did as she commanded, steadily approaching the human. She'd have no chance, that axe would be far too heavy for her to weild.

The T-rex, meanwhile, span round and sent it's huge, thick tail smashing heavily into Aestus.

[Prusselanden]

"Sorry...I promise I won't get in the way from now on." Julian sighed in relief as Mary rescued her. Then, Friday came onto the battlefield. The Doctor saw her using Pax to attack Aestus.

"Aestus, watch out!" Julian tried to approach him but leapt back as the mechs fired at her. She yelped and ducked behind the corpse of a man, using him as a meat shield. Julian then threw it at the mech to distract it and sprinted out of its firing range.

Come on...you can't just run...you gotta do something.

She suddenly had an idea.

Wait....what if...

Julian picked up a large rock lying on the ground and , while dodging the mech's rounds and threw it at one of the mecha. While it was distracted she made a break past the mech, running towards Pac and leaping onto his tail. She started to climb towards Friday.

Meanwhile, Frederick ran at Snow's right. "Over here, you undergrown dinosaur!"

"Suka blyad!" Ilya Ilyich exclaimed, with a cheeky yet vaguely cynical grin. "Eet's quite seemple, eef yoo ask me. My father dreenks like a maniac; all yoo need to do ees spike one of his dreenks. Den once dat's done, yoo just need to remove de body and leave no trace for de others to see. Den de whole problem ees more or less solved. Pretty easy, da?"

"The problem", said Fukuda, "is that whoever replaces him may also be in on the plot."

"Most of dem know what's going on vaguely", Ilya continued explaining, "but de problem is dat dey don't exactly haf any concrete eveedence to geef to overthrow Ilya Kirillovich Timoshenko. Except me; I know everythink. De only problem was dat I could not share eet weethout compromising my position."

Walking over to a bar, Yoichi returned with a bottle of cold water.

"Whatever works for yoo, I guess", said Ilya Ilyich. "I can't wait to be free of dat old maneepulator, anyways."

[Osnil Returns]

Fairy Fountain
The Great Fairy flew out of the water and laughed. Zelda and Impa sighed with relief. Their prayers were answered. Fairies fluttered out of the fountain, going to do their leader's bidding. Hyrule would survive this battle.

Hyrule Castle
Kylo found himself smacked into by the Emperor, only for the Dark Links to engage. Fortunately, the Emperor didn't get a chance to kill him. He was engaging the Dark Links. However, Kylo found the perfect opportunity to attack. He raised his lightsaber, and a shining light appeared in the sky, blinding everyone including Lana and Cia.

When the bright light toned down, a portal appeared. Out of the portal came a contingent of ships. Kylo smiled, thinking that his reinforcements had arrived. As the ships came closer, he realized that they were not First Order. They were Republic ships-outdated Republic ships. And they held Clones. "That's-that's impossible!" he shouted. "They're all dead!"

As he realized who was in the foreship, he became even more terrified. Two Jedi stood inside, ready to jump out. Obi-wan Kenobi and Jedi Master Sheev Palapatine ignited their lightsabers. Clones began to fire on Kylo and the Emperor as they jumped off the ship.

The First Order soldiers still on the field began to flee. Kylo soon did the same, having essentially gotten what he wanted anyway.
Village
Grievous snatched up the energy sword as he began to put more pressure on Exodus. Across the village, Ventress was about ready to cut through Linkle's flesh with her lightsabers. Suddenly a light flashed from the compass, enveloping everything and blinding everyone.

From the sky came a metallic machine. It was red and white in an hourglass shape. It opened fire on both the troopers and the droids. Grievous and Ventress turned to flee with their remaining troops.

Linkle leaped to her feet. "See? I knew I was the hero of Legend!" she shouted. "My Grandmother's compass just saved us again!"

The metallic machine landed, and two figures walked out. One was a tall, red-haired woman wearing long brown and white robes. The second was of similar height and had short, red hair and wore more colorful robes. Following behind them was a metal machine on wheels that was beeping and whirring.

The second woman spoke first, "Lucky we got here in time to save this place."

"Kira, there is no luck. The Force willed us to be here," the first replied. She offered her hand to Exodus to help him rise.
Meeting House
"Your dress and demeanor tell the truth," announced Fi. "Perhaps you are a Link from another age."

"Well, time is a little screwed up right now," Midna added. "I don't believe I've ever heard of the Hero of the Wild, even when coming into this era."

"Let's see if you're as strong as the Link I know!" boomed Darunia. He threw his hammer aside. "Let us wrestle. I'll believe you if you can beat me."

[Skylus]

Doug

The faeries returned Doug to normal and he left the Fountain to see the ships in the air.
"....What is even going on...."
When the two guys with beam swords appeared, Doug figured they were on his side, but wasn't sure.
So he left the battle and went off to see if he could fix his ship.

Link

He simply stared at the Goron.
"...You...want to fight me?"
Then he remembered.
"Ahhh, I get it. Sure."
After several minutes, which involved finding something to put his equipment on so he could move around effectively, Link believed he was ready.
"Well...I haven't exactly wrestled before....But there's a first time for everything!"
He took a step backwards, then rushed towards Darunia.

[Petrokovia]

Bloodfyre thought for a moment.
I suppose the expense would make sense... I wonder if it is the kind of thing I could make, or if it might be too complicated... I know not the intricacies of much of their technology.

As Ivan discussed his plan regarding Dal, Bloodfyre listened intently.
"It is better to reform than to punish. You will find no objection from me."

---

The coast of Antarctica was just as cold and barren as usual, the calm skies disturbed only by the hulking mass of metal buried behind the crews of Kongou and Blue Steel.

A small stuffed bear walked up to Kongou, looking up at her mental model, then glancing over to her ship.
"You've changed... You've... Gained weight?"

Kongou looked down at the bear, unamused. A young woman with blue hair approached the stuffed animal and gave it a scowl.
"Honestly, Kirishima, that was rude."
"It was a joke, Takao."

The blue haired woman ignored Kirishima, and proceeded to talk with Kongou, looking over towards Tadayoshi and his crew, who were talking with Gunzou and his crew.
"So, who are the humans with you?"
"Oh, that one is my Captain, and the rest are his crew. They're a part of a kind of defense force."
"C-Captain!?" Takao gasped, frustrated. "How did you get a captain before me?"

"It's because she's not desperate." interrupted Haruna, a tall blonde woman in a long coat. "Humans do not appreciate desperation."
"I'm not desperate!" Takao protested.
"You totally are." Kirishima chuckled. "I think the only one more obvious than you is Hyuuga."

Tadayoshi, Gunzou, and their crews met back up with the Fog ships.
"Tadayoshi here explained what that structure is. It used to be his old ship-A space ship. Coincidentally, he's come back here to get information from its old computers, hoping to get a lead on someone named 'Octavius', who seems to be a threat."
"Oh, is he going to spark a war?" Kirishima asked.
"No, he is going to destroy the multiverse."
"The multi-uh... What?" Kirishima trailed off, stunned. "Wow, I thought that was just in human fiction."
"Yes, it's a lot to wrap your head around." Gunzou continued. "But he's from a different universe. After some discussion, I figured that it would be pertinent to aid him. After all, it sounds like they need all the help they can get, and it would affect us either way."

"I will have to call Makie and tell her that we will be leaving for some time..." Haruna said, with a hint of disappointment.
"Eh, I'm sure Hiei won't mind watching over her a little longer while we are away." mentioned Kirishima.

"So, I'm going to go inside the ship." Tadayoshi said. "Kongou, would you mind coming with?"
"Not at all."

Tadayoshi turned to Gunzou.
"Would you like to come? I could give you a tour of the ship... Or, what's left of it."
"Sure, that sounds interesting."

Tadayoshi led the way to the wreckage of the Ockham's Razor, followed closely by Kongou, Marguerite, Chase, Gunzou, and Iona.

After some time walking, the group found a hole in the ship. Tadayoshi peered in carefully, then turned to the group.
"It's safe; Everything's level enough for us to walk."

The group entered the ship; It was cold, dark, and very quiet. The only sounds one could hear were the breathing and footsteps of the group, and Tadayoshi rummaging around in his trench coat. After a few seconds, he pulled out a small flashlight and turned it on. Despite his tepetum lucidum, there wasn't enough light inside the ship for Tadayoshi to see without the flashlight, let alone Marguerite or Gunzou.

"There is a life form already on board." Kongou stated.
"Wait, really?" Tadayoshi asked, confused. "Did a penguin get in or something?"
"No, I do not know what it is."

Tadayoshi paused for a moment, thinking. After a second's hesitation, he pressed forward, the others closely behind. The group made their way through the ship, with Tadayoshi and Marguerite explaining various things in it along the way. However, after a few minutes of walking, there was a faint noise approaching above the group. Tadayoshi and Chase turned to each other, both of their eyes glowing with focus. They loooked upwards, but Tadayoshi's flashlight went out, having been covered by something. Tadayoshi quickly drew his gun, flipping the light attachment on.

"Eugh... The hell is this?" Tadayoshi complained, waving his flashlight hand and wiping it on his coat, trying to get something off of it. At the same time, he raised his gun upwards, shining the light from it towards the ceiling. However, by the time he raised his gun, the creature had disappeared.

Without any warning, it was on Tadayoshi's back, sinking fangs into his neck. The man shouted as he tried to pry the creature off of him, stumbling back. Tadayoshi's vision blurred, and he stumbled backwards, unable to keep himself balanced.

"Dan!" Marguerite shouted, going for her gun.
No, I can't see well enough not to shoot him...

She quickly glanced back and forth, finding a broken rod of iron on the floor. Marguerite picked it up, rushing towards the creature and smacking it on the head with the piece of metal.

"What is that?" Gunzou asked, taking a step back from the creature. He squinted, trying to figure out what it was he was looking at, but he'd never seen anything like it.

The creature got up, and looked at the group.
"I don't know who you are, but stay out! You aren't welcome here!"
"This isn't your ship, psycho!" Chase shouted. He had just opened his mouth again, when the creature spoke again.
"It is."

Marguerite looked up at the creature, recognizing its voice.
"...Muffet?"

The creature looked over to Marguerite, squinting.
"Yes? ...Wait..."

Muffet's expression changed into excitement.
"Ahuhuhu! I thought you were looters, dearie! I was going to eat you!"
"I thought you were dead!"
"I figured I was going to die when the ship crashed, too... I guess I just got lucky."
"How did you survive?"
"When the ship was crashing, Miyu was almost pinned by a support beam, but I held it up so she could escape. When I woke up, the beam had shifted to keep the debris off of me... I was able to dig my way out. Carefully."

Muffet looked over to Tadayoshi, who had turned over, throwing up the contents of his previous meal.
"Woah, that's not a usual side effect..."
"It's part of the healing factor." Chase explained.
The short spider girl looked over to him inquisitively.
"I'm an amplificata, too." he clarified. "You see, if there's too much toxins for our liver and kidneys to process out, the healing factor will transfer all of the toxins through the bloodstream into our stomachs, then, er, flush the system. It would have to be a shit ton of poison to trigger that, though..."
Chase looked at Muffet, a mix of confusion, worry, and distrust plastered on his face.
"Glad he won't die." Muffet said. "So, who are you?"
Chase looked at Muffet skeptically, put off by her apparent disregard for having just poisoned her coworker.
"I'm Chase Tyrane. I'm part of Tadayoshi's team in IMPDO. Me and another guy, Terrell, worked with Tadz and Marguerite before this whole multiverse thing happened. You're... part of his crew, I'm guessing?"
"Yes."

Tadayoshi stood up, brushing himself off.
"Muffet?"
"Hmm?"
"Don't do that again."
"Ahuhu. As long as you don't look like a looter." she winked. "I thought you abandoned this ship. I'm glad you've returned, but why?"
"That's a long story, but we need the computer archives from the ship." he said. "I can clear everything up while we walk to the memory banks."

[Wheatley Laboratories]

Hyrule

Zev

Zev didn't move one step. Paralyzed with fear of the many monsters, he stuck by Haxon's side. He wasn't going anywhere. His friendship with Haxon the only thing keeping him there, he'd have much rather turned-tail and ran for the trees, he felt disheartened and slightly confused that Haxon hadn't meant to take them here. Wherever here was.

Suddenly, large... things descended from the sky, more fire shooting out from one of them by more white creatures. They seemed to be attacking their own species.
Overcome with all these thing that made no sense inside his feral mind, Zev pressed his head against Haxon, shutting his eyes and whimpering.

Haxon would suddenly hear a voice inside his mind, obviously alien. It, very clearly said "This doesn't exist... It can't." in a very distressed tone.

Reiyo

"No you don't!" Reiyo would appear in front of the escaping Grevious and punch him, trying to get Taylor's sword back. Konrad sprinted over and, grabbing two previously concealed daggers, skidded to a halt besides Reiyo.
"Here's the deal..." the assasin said. "If you give us that sword back, you get to keep your eyes. As an added bonus, we won't even send you back into the past by 50 years."

Exodus

"Th-thanks." Taylor grabbed the hand offered to him weakly, but managed to pull himself up onto one leg. "I need to get m-my..." He started to say before his eyes rolled up and he collapsed onto the new arrival.

AEGIS
"Or we could have some venomous animal bite him fatally, and make it out like he accidentally approached said animal and caused it to bite him." Ackerman suggested, then realized xer own idea was kind of inconvenient.

"Never mind, what he said. It would be easy enough to sneak something into his drink that would kill him. I suggest Gaboon Viper venom-it'll do the job in less than an hour."

[The Dark Brotherhood of Deros]

Manhattan
Asura wasn't too fond of the strange looks he was receiving from the crowds, but he didn't say anything. By the time they arrived at the apartment, Cinder was still out cold, and her breathing was raspy and pained. Asura felt great concern for the girl, and he found it hard to believe that he cared about her so much. Sure he had known her for three years, but she wasn't his child. After they entered the house, Asura opted to simply keep holding Cinder instead of putting her down.

Mark then asked everyone with an arrow to give him them, prompting Asura to gesture to Cinder's knee, which still had a gold-tipped arrow protruding from it.

Traveler
Aicy nodded, and then placed the names she received into the ship's data banks. She then looked at the one who was greeting her and gave her a nod. "Yes, hello. I hope you don't mind my annoyance, but I'm feeling really quite flustered." She explained. "As long as you don't wander, and you don't touch anything... you'll be free to stay here until we can figure out how to assist you in returning to your universe." She told them.

[Naval Monte]

Gnosis Earth

When the plan of poisioning Ilya's drink came up both Hex and Strange to go through with the plan due to the simplicity of it and the chance it won't cause a fight against the man as they suspect that any conflict inside his base he would easily twist it to make it look as they were working with the IGSE.

"That option is good but my organzation has developed many different types of poisons along with some drugs that can do the same trick." Hex explained. Strange was going to ask why Hex's group needs so much poisons but he decided not to ask, fearing that the response he would get may threaten his life.

"But I do have a question. How can we be sure your father won't suspect us tampering his drink? If I was him I would be watching for any signs of a trap on a daily basis."

[Arkeyana]

Bastion jumped back as the mechs rose up before entering Sentry Configuration and unloading on the mechs, concentrating on one for a few seconds before firing at another. He had to watch out for that gecko, though, she could get behind him and attack a weak point on his structure.Meanwhile, Karrakis was speeding from mech to mech, impaling one, sometimes two, and flinging them towards other mechs or the ground before Pax charged in. He had a sudden flashback of a similar creature he had fought before, only crippling it by severing a nerve that ran through the leg. (what if...) he thought before speeding over and stabbing Pax in the leg where the nerve might be.
