"When I said this day might get more interesting, I didn´t expect to be just after five minutes from saying it, way to jinx things" Midna commented as Julius and the new stranger talked with each other, she then looked at Palutena "While the boys talk about that vampire girl, what did you wanted to talk about?" she asked to the goddess

With Hazama agreeing to speak with Julius in private, the vampire-hunter then proceeded to step outisde of Palutena's apartment. Then once both men were outside Julius closed the door and turned towards Hazama.
"So what is it you need? You mentioned something about a Vampire problem?" Julius asked as he leaned up against the wall while crossing his arms.

Palutena sighed as the two men left the apartment to go talk about business before turning to Midna. "Oh right... I apologize. It wasn't much... but I was willing to ask you something..." She replied as she turned to Pit, upon which she gave him a glare that signified that both her and Midna needed a moment alone. Without any words said Pit gave a salute and nod before running off to his room, slamming his bedroom door behind him.
With Pit now gone, she turned to Midna. "Okay... what I was going to say is that as the battle was going on, I had called in a few of my own guards to scout the city. Unfortunately they have reported a dark energy on the outer rim of the city. It feels awfully similar to a dark force that I have detected over the course of the past few days... What's worse is that it's slowly building up and becoming stronger. I was going to tell you and Julius since you both would probably have a bit more capable of handling this bit of info. While Pit would have probably made a rather huge commotion about it, and that could have ended in potential mass hysteria within the city. I'm sure that if you ask Julius he would tell you that he has been feeling tremors on occasion throughout the city. At first I thought it wasn't much... but now with the attack that happened today, I am now getting suspicious. I was beginning to think about well... sending you and Julius out to investigate. I mean this dark power seems different than the one I sensed during the attack. It feels straight up demonic rather than just 'evil'. I will inform Julius, but right now you and him both need some time to rest. After dinner though would you both mind going to the city limits to investigate? I promise that I will keep an eye on this demonic aura I've been sensing until then. It's faint... and still hard to sense... but it is there..."

Midna heard what the green haired woman said and simply sighed while massaging the bridge of her nose "It´s the whole adventure again" she said to herself and released some air to cool down "At least now I´m at full power again, so we got strange energy that is surely of the negative type, monsters appearing with high ranked members around and all in the recent days" she spoke rubbing her chin while thinking "We can already say something bad will rise without guessing, the best strategy is to map the area and know where the highest amount of negative energy is, that is where either the source or the node of it rests, if we can terminate the threat, then we can get an advantage, if not, then we will have to do it on the old style of dungeon adventuring"

SDM
John listened to what Mara had suggested and suddenly found himself questioning what she meant by "ripping the problem from the root." He was actually fine with either option because if they detained the time traveler, they could peacefully resolve the problem and hand him off to Takoizu. As for elimination, "ripping the problem from the root" brought elimination to mind. After all, if they killed the time traveler, they would not have to worry about him trying to push the timeline towards a world in ruin.
"What do you have in mind? Detain, or eliminate?", John questioned as they quickly walked up to the gate of the SDM.
Firestorm Citadel
Takoizu thought about what the Higher Power had said about teaching her and simply nodded. To be honest, all she really wanted was just to forget her past for now. She never really liked to think about what could have been her life when she got one of the worst timeline outcomes. She would have rather thought about what her life would be like if she succeeded. Just then, the Higher Power stole the focus of her attention as he directed it to the next gauntlet that awaited them.
"Right. Let's hurry up so we can go home.", Takoizu said as she mentally prepared herself for a second round.

"Shit...", Isaac uttered under his breath in annoyance as he saw Malthael soar ever higher out of the now collapsing crater.
As a large chunk of debris fell towards Isaac, he rolled out of the way and activated his thrusters, taking to the sky immediately after.
"Koishi, we need some way to contain him. Got any ideas?", Isaac asked over his communicator as he raised his Plasma Cutter and blasted an oncoming rock to pebbles.

As Dr. Neuman listened, his face turned from one of curiosity to interest. From what Chung was telling him, he was actually trying to boost the MJOLNIR armor's power output by using an external power supply. Of course, although the armor's circuitry was "overload" capable, they weren't designed to have two different energy types compete through itself.
"So, did you connect the disfrozen battery to an external port on the armor?", Dr. Neuman asked Chung.

The SPARTAN lightly tilted his head at Vala's response and remained silent for a span of two seconds, though for a SPARTAN of his kind, it would have felt like thirty. After the brief pause, the SPARTAN finally straightened his neck and spoke, showing that he carefully thought about his answer.
"Hm... I guess you could say that I'm on the side of a woman that wanted to start over.", the red SPARTAN finally said, "It's not a big secret that she did some questionable things in her game. Many people question her motives, and some are even nervous about how she essentially resurrected the SPARTAN Program in the real world, but I believe there's a reason for it. I have my own opinions on the matter after reading her profile and applying my knowledge of that to the current circumstances, but I feel that we should each come to our own conclusions. You may dislike Halsey because of what she was responsible for, but it is in my personal experience that there are always two sides to every story."

"Of course." HP mved forward, as a new challenge arose amongst the magical fire and wheels. Seemingly bursting from the foundations of the bridge were undead, eyes aglow with fire, skin and muscle burned away, leaving blackened bone, magma bubbling in their cracks. A hiss announced their arrival, brick and mortar being torn away under their own four feet. HP ran one through with his blade, it's holy light piercing into it's skull, extinguishing the unholy flames within.
"He knows." HP grunted, turning to Takoizu. "Keep moving, don't stop for anything!"
Santa Cruz
"Well, how would you contain a literal embodiment of Death AND Wisdom? He knows our every move." Koishi replied, ruhing down and picking up the cannon. "We don't have the power to try and stop him. We have other problems on our hand too."
Koishi flew up, moving out of the crater, a now growing sinkhole. "I think we stopped the flow though, that's the important thing. The energy in the air is weaker, more normal. It's a matter of cleaning up the rest of the bunch. Maybe I could invite Rin, give the Blazing Hells some more fuel..."

Sometimes when you're driving down a road, a bug hits your windshield. It's ugly and unpleasant, but you just activate the wipers / cleaning fluid and it's gone in a few seconds. It's just part of driving down the road. You don't dwell on it, because that'd be silly. Bugs aren't worth the time.
You just discard their guts and keep on driving.

"That is the issue Johnny boy, we could simply kill the time traveler and stop things from possibly getting worse, but we could also let the two girls do their job, you can guess from seeing how they work that those two can make impossible things." Mara spoke already floating towards the Lucario´s location while taking the old digivice "The vixen can simply tell me to kill him with the dagger you gave me, but she focused more on your wife, so if a time traveler that has inhuman strength, can teleport with ease and is faster genetically enhanced gets to be shadowed by the gap controller´s madness, then we can think that they can deal with him to the point of turning him around to our side" she pointed out.
"If not, we can simply kill him without regret, that kid followed your daughter and went all the way to kill her because of fear of losing their world in the future, something already impossible since time already changed with the mere act of them coming here"
Bench - Streets of London (Vala's Location)
"And things become a blurred mess of whites, blacks and grays" Vala spoke while walking to the area where she knew that the Labs where stationed "Some have to be able to make the decisions that most wouldn´t be able to, like your legendary green spartan, he went to hell and back for a war that would traumatize anyone, but not the spartans, the first generations were mostly biological automations and were stripped of most, if not all their humanity, Halsey was also between the sword and wall because of the spartan program, while it was completely inhuman to experiment" and she looked at the red spartan´s visor "Yes, they experimented with kids to make them super powered soldiers, such thing was ok in the bigger picture, they saved millions of lives by giving their own, but is it truly that they did it for their species? or was it because they had no other thing to do? Like they said during the Covenant war, Spartans never die, they just go missing in action"
"You can think I´m saying something that others in that Universe did, but it is true, how did the people saw the spartans? did the soldier shared stories with them? or maybe they thought they were mindless hybrids ordered to kill the threat? I have seen how people see me in my armor when I´m patrolling" the brawler sighed "Being a character doesn´t erase the fact of what you can do, see this hand?" she opened her palm "It can crush a skull as if it was a mere egg" she closed it "Then there is the curious thing about our Doctor, she then gets on the people´s bad side because of what she did and gets jailed, up to the point where she was seen as a traitor during the time of Requiem, so now another question appears, what changes things that make the ones who saved a species from being destroyed in a war, become a threat to it? Not all the Covenant were Evil as many thought, they followed what they thought was right"
Looking at the sky, Vala kept going "As you said, there are two sides of the same story, but which one is the one that contains the truth? The Sangheili had to change their whole way of thinking after the war, their faith was their way of living, but they saw the truth thanks to the help of others, so how come we humans can´t do the same thing? Right now the Spartan program is looked positively, but for what reason is it being done for? How can you be sure that what you think is right is actually the good thing?"

"Well..." Hazama started, his expression taking a rather serious form, "There's a Character from the game I'm from.. she's an evil little thing. She's slaughtered entire cities just to sate her bloodlust. Name's Rachel Alucard. Unfortunately for me, I'm not much of a fighter. But she wants to kill anyone who might know how to end her life. That includes me."

Washington D.C. | Outside Palutena's Apartment
As Hazama began talking, Julius listened intently. Taking in the rather brief description of this vampire girl, her name, and the stuff she has apparently done. All that made Julius a bit more intrigued about this vampire girl. She does sound like a threat... but Julius does not seem to be all that trusting of Hazama. "Well... Hazama. This vampire girl, Rachel Alucard? I'll see what I can do... but I will need to do a bit of research. Find out where she is, because if she is in this world I will consider looking further into what she has been doing. I mean I'm not going to just jump up and hunt her down right away. After all for one you are just some stranger, and despite you saying that you're an intelligence officer was it? I can't entirely be so sure as to trust you. Aside from that I have to make sure how much of a threat that she is. Hell I even know an Alucard myself, met him and talked with him. He was a nice guy... but his father... just damn was he trouble. But with him I knew what I was dealing with. With this Rachel Alucard though I will have to make sure if she really is as much of a threat before I can really do anything, and before that I have to make sure if she is in this world." Julius spoke as he placed both hands on his hips and sighed.
"Either way I will look into this little vampire problem. So do not worry, but please if you have any possible leads just come to my location and inform me. I mean with how you had just seemingly appeared out of nowhere in the apartment, I'm sure you're the kind of guy that... gets around right?" Julius replied with a small chuckle, smirk, and tilt of the eyebrow as he held out his hand for a handshake even though he is still a little weary around Hazama. "In all seriousness you do have my word. I'll keep an eye and ear out for this Rachel Alucard. Just be sure to tell me anything if you get any leads about her okay?"

Henir's Space and Space Again
Jack looked towards both ends. He began to think.
Alright, let's see here. We can choose to confront the... man, or we can take our chances to the left... Personally, I would rather confront this monster. The three of us together, that beast with the giant knife wouldn't stand a chance. But then maybe that Luto put in a surprise... I cannot believe I got myself into this mess. When I get out of here I'm gonna... no. I have my mission. I can't let my emotions change that or distract me. But I shouldn't stay there when I get back, either. It seems I cannot trust anyone, and these two... who knows what they will do. They're with that traitor. For all I know once I get out of here, they'll... no, no no no no. I'm getting distracted. Either way, I have my verdict.
"We fight," Jack decided. "Three against one, it's the only thing I'm sure about. Help me find something to use for weaponry."
Prometheus Labs
Volgin thought to himself.
"Yes, that is true. They are quite predictable, and there was nothing we could do about that. But... Your sciences are advanced. Who is to say they haven't done any new age modifications? See there were two metal gears in that stack that I could not build. They're very new-age ones, Metal Gear Gecko and Metal Gear Ray. One thing that tips me is that they're supposed to be mass produced. I have them in my shirt pocket, folded. I was planning to scrap them... but... perhaps you can use them to your advantage. Would you like to see the specs?"
London, Britain
An MSF helicopter landed in a heliport in London. The group had finally arrived at London. They were to search the remains of Base 7 and see if they could find anything. Intel supported that there had been a sighting of Volgin, beginning at the site of Base 7. Whether or not he came from Base 7 is a big question, given that Base 7 is no longer operational. Still a good idea to check.
"Alright. Check the base, find intel, scope the area for witnesses... I got that right?" Asked Otori.
"Right," Replied Snake. "I'll go in the base with Gerard and Rengar. You check around for witnesses with the new guy. Sheva, see if you can find out where Volgin had gone. Any questions?"
Human Village, Gensokyo
Shikieiki was in a hut, watching the snow fall, and the children of a young woman play around.
"Miss Shikieiki, is something the matter?" Asked the homeowner who invited Shikieiki to dinner.
Shikieiki was a little out of it, but eventually snapped back into it.
"Oh, I'm sorry. No, nothing is wrong. I am grateful you invited me, miss Okasa."
"Please, call me Juni," said the lady. "If it's no trouble at all, could you invite the children inside?"
"Of course, miss Oka- erm, Juni."
She walked outside and smelled the fresh, cool air. So much life, so close to the celebration of Christmas.
So... This is the life of a human. I remember, I used to look down on humans. Once they came in, I just looked at the sins and cast judgement. How wrong I was... at least I hope I am wrong.
"Children, your mother is calling you in!"

"Miss Shikieiki, is something the matter?" Asked the homeowner who invited Shikieiki to dinner.
Shikieiki was a little out of it, but eventually snapped back into it.
"Oh, I'm sorry. No, nothing is wrong. I am grateful you invited me, miss Okasa."
"Please, call me Juni," said the lady. "If it's no trouble at all, could you invite the children inside?"
"Of course, miss Oka- erm, Juni."
She walked outside and smelled the fresh, cool air. So much life, so close to the celebration of Christmas.
So... This is the life of a human. I remember, I used to look down on humans. Once they came in, I just looked at the sins and cast judgement. How wrong I was... at least I hope I am wrong.
"Children, your mother is calling you in!"

Bang smiled and bowed as the Elder replied, saying that he can warn people to stay indoors tonight. That makes things easier. Bang was also ready to tell the Elder not to let some human Youkai Hunters stand guard at the village entrance as that would be too dangerous, but someone had already gone and told the Elder not to do so. This made Bang smile in relief as he did not have to tell the Elder otherwise. Then they thought of asking the others at the Myouren Temple... which Bang really has mixed feelings of doing.
"The kind people of the Myouren Temple? Oh no I just can't bare to let them help after me and my men have caused so much distress on the night before today! Though I will inform them of my plans tonight, and to be ready in case things go south. But you need not to worry about this Youkai! I'm sure me and my men can handle this Youkai... no matter how vicious it is. For I Bang Shishigami will not let this Youkai attack anyone else after tonight!!!" Bang replied at first a bit nervous, but then ended with his personality changing to a rather energetic, if not burning with passion demeanor.
