Henir's Time and Space

As happy as John was to see Renamon and Nera were in one piece, he was still getting rather impatient with the whole situation. He was supposed to meet up with them so that they could help Yukari, but now they were all in another dimension, just wasting time and pissing off some reality warper from another dimension. After hearing the others go back and forth with Glaive, John finally spoke up.

"Enough.", John rather harshly said aloud to refocus the situation. After that, he looked over to Glaive and began to speak.

"We did not come here to get involved in any challenges or fight, we just came to bring Renamon and Nera back so that we could help Yukari.", John said to Glaive a little more calmly than before.





Firestorm Citadel

"Got it.", Takoizu said to The Higher Power as she quickly sized up the soldier.

From what she could see, the soldier was quite strong looking, though possibly not strong enough to actively carry its sword normally. As for the soldier's speed, that remained to be seen. To this, Takoizu simply smiled inside her helmet as eight turquoise balls of danmaku formed behind her in a large ring pattern and flew out to the soldier's front, rear, and flanks, firing off little chunks of themselves as they circled him.





Santa Cruz

"That could work, but don't do it if it becomes too much.", Isaac said to Koishi as he opened up a large holographic map in front of himself to get a better understanding where they currently were.





Mess Hall - Prometheus Labs - London

Neuman remained silent with Chung for a few more seconds before breaking the silence, although his surprise from the news was still on his mind.

"Well... Let's get some breakfast, then we can pay Six a visit and learn more, right?", Dr. Neuman asked Chung.





Streets of London | Jack and Eve's current Location

Jack simply lightly tilted his head at the assailant and remained silent, both of his katanas ready for combat. He was quickly thinking back on what he was taught when the SPARTANS had to read through the database of Characters. It took only 10 milliseconds for Jack to remember, and he simply let out a rather cold and unsettling chuckle.

(This will be interesting.), Jack thought to himself before speaking.

"Eve, get behind me. After that, I want to see you airborne. Don't care how, you get back to The Labs.", Jack said in a rather calm tone as he stared down the Tenno standing before him.





En route to Prometheus Labs - London

"What?", Mike said with some incredulity in his voice.

Mike had heard on the news that some unknown Character had collapsed an old theater. He had no idea who or what had caused it because almost the entire thing was reduced to little more than rubble, barely anything to identify the perpetrator.

"You.. *sigh*... Well, there are a few of us that should give you a good challenge, but as long as you don't bring the place down.", Mike remarked to Vala.

Henir's Time and Space

Before Renamon or Nera could respond to Glaive, John had finally spoken up. What John said was quite... entertaining to Glaive. As surprisingly the controller of Time and Space merely laughed at John's "Wasting time" response. It only made Glaive turn to him and speak.

"Wasting time...? Heheheh... Ahahahahah! How can you waste time in here? In this realm Time and Space do not exist! This a plane of existence that allows you to view all of time and space. I've been here for what felt like millenia. I could spend what feels like years in here, and yet I can go outside and no time had passed at all. I could easily send you back to your realm a few minutes to a few hours if not years into the past or future. You do not need to worry about this realm. Besides I was intending on rewarding the Challengers handsomely if they were to... survive. So John, just take your time to rest here. I am aware of how busy you are currently. I'm sure you need a rest. Once you are ready I will send you all... save for the man named Jack... Back to the time and place you call home. In fact I'll be sure to put you all right back at the very moment before you had even entered the house with the Froslass. No time will have passed at all. So... take your... heh... time... to relax." Glaive responded as he turned his back to the group. It was clear that he was rather... amused by John's response.


"In fact feel free to take part in the final challenge. I had something originally planned... but... right now I had gotten a rather interesting idea. One that even you yourself will find quite... fun Spartan. Don't worry. You will not die in it, if you fall unconscious in the challenge though then it means it's over for that person and they will be sent to the "Real World" with their injuries and energy replenished. So please inform me as to when you all are ready for this last challenge." Spoke Glaive before he finally stopped talking as he walked to the edge of the platform they were on. At that point Glaive just looked into the endless void that was Henir's Time and Space.




Santa Cruz

Dante at this point had stopped really listening to the others when he heard that there will be time for any survivors to evacuate. That did relieve him, and he knows that Komachi had gotten out by now for he had last seen her flying off into the distance. Presumably due to some other business she had to take care of. As they waited for the napalm to drop, Dante stretched his arms, yawned, then cracked his neck as he laid on the ground, resting his hands behind his head before leaning on a rock.

"Well let me know when it's time to bail. Also someone better be paying me as I was called here because of some other business and I had to fly here all the way from China of all places. Yet the Old Man didn't pay me one bit." Dante spoke casually and calmly as he just watched the others converse.

Shadow on the other hand was no longer here. He had just used Chaos Control to leave the city in a quick flash of light.



Mess Hall - Prometheus Labs - London

"Uh... I... yeah. Okay. That'd be a good idea." Chung spoke as he nodded. The line had died down and the two were able to go get breakfast now.





Streets of London | Jack and Eve's current Location

As Jack warned and told Eve to fall back and retreat to the Labs, she did not say another word as she took what he said to heart. Eve did not hesitate to quickly take off towards the Labs for safety.

All the while the Mysterious Woman readied her pistols and aimed them right at Jack. It was clear that she was ready for afight, if not ready for anything Jack had. However she had decided to strike first as she sprinted towards Jack, slid, then flung herself high up into the air. This little stunt had given the Mysterious Woman some serious airtime as she was quite high up at this point. Once high in the air she quickly aimed her dual machine pistols down at Jack and began firing from above at Jack.



((UPDATE FOR THIS PLACE FOR KRISTIA))
Washington D.C. | Palutena's Apartment

Meanwhile in Palutena's apartment, some time had passed. Not much. Only a few minutes. That was enough time for Julius to get comfy on the couch as he leaned his head back with his eyes closed. It was quite obvious that the recent battle against those monsters down on the streets took a bit out of him. It really showed how old he was getting. For this still strong and capable Vampire Hunter was getting more exhausted than he normally does. Julius may appear to be in still healthy condition... and he is. But that doesn't really change anything.

Palutena took notice of Julius's exhaustion and so did Pit. This made Palutena turn to Midna and respond. "Midna... I think we should give Julius some 'Special Treatment' for his hard work. How would you feel about massaging his shoulders?" Palutena asked with a rather playful chuckle.

"As Glaive just pointed out, we don`t have to worry much about the time that passes here, unless we actually take years because" Nera spoke pointing to Renamon, The chief and the Froslass "All three of you are both mentally and physically here, while only my mind is here" she said with a joking sound despite the situation. The Lucario`s optimism was a hard one to damage.

Renamon on the other had was already on the subject "We need to finish this tests so masked boy has his fetish done and Nera receives something of great value as a reward for dealing with the tests, but" she looked at Glaive "Don`t expect the test of your to be the last thing done here" she faintly smirked.

En route to Prometheus Labs - London


"I can have a friendly match or two if things go slow with the paperwork with my meeting with Cathy, but back with the theater, the guy was good with robbery and parkour, no matter my speed and strength, he was like a slippery weasel" Vala spoke almost complimenting the thief "It had been a while since there was a challenge, but things went sour when we reached the theater, but I`m sure you know how things ended up" she smirked again.

For her part, Melissa was thinking on the situation that the Prometheus labs had and its incident "I do have a question Spartan Mike, there have been reports of problems rising throughout the world of Organizations from different shady groups, anything that the characters should worry about?" she asked and quickly added "Like the incident you people had on the past for example"

Washington D.C. | Palutena's Apartment


Midna was dealing with a book of hers when she heard the green haired goddess talk to her, yet her reaction was of raised eyebrows "Either you are too innocent or you hide a wicked deviant with that puritan cover of yours Palutena, I didn`t expect someone of your caliber to suggest such thing" she spoke with a smirk as she teased.

Henir's Time and Space

As Glaive looked out into the space-like void he overheard the others talking. That was when he looked over his shoulder, let out a very light chuckle and stared at Nera with his only visible eye which was yellow in color and seemed to faintly glow a bit. Looking at her he spoke.

"Are you so sure that your mind is the only thing here at this point? I would not leave such an important thing lying unconscious. This isn't like a normal sleep. You can't just wake up whenever. If something were to have happened to your body while your mind is here... Well... then there would not be much you could do to prevent it. However this time you are quite right. Your mind is still separate from your body here. I however had put it in a pocket displaced from time to keep it safe until you leave. Then the time displacement on your body will be removed and you will be perfectly fine. You wouldn't be able to wake up in time. But... I like your attitude. You'd make a.. rather fine Administrator of this place... Perhaps one day you could take my role... but that will not happen anytime soon." Glaive spoke half-jokingly and half-seriously.




Washington D.C. | Palutena's Apartment

Palutena simply giggled upon Midna's comment, for it was both a little surprising... and quite hilarious to the Goddess.

"Oh please Midna! I'm not talking about anything sexual~ Besides didn't you promise to help him with his aging and aching body? Even then..." Palutena spoke before she leaned in to whisper in Midna's ear.

"I'm even beginning to think that Julius has taken quite a liking to you. I mean... You have seen the way he glances at you... right?" She giggled once more before turning to look at Julius who had just turned his head to look back at the television. Julius looked as though he was pretending to not have been glancing at Palutena and/or Midna.

Pit though who heard what Palutena said decided to make a joke. "Lady Palutena. I thought being the cupid was my job." Pit spoke with a rather... sly laugh which made Palutena shoot a bit of a stern glare at the young angel. Of which caused Pit to shut up instantly.

The twili sighed as she lifted her palm, making the book levitate and disappear into her storage "You are right on that, I have been reading on the best way to treat his limbs and muscles, but so far this" she lifted her index finger, a small black spark of electricity appeared from time to time appeared "Is the safest way to do it" She said with her smirk aimed at the vampire hunter.

Meanwhile a piece of paper appeared on Palutena´s hand discreetly with the flick of Midna´s other hand which only said "We will speak in private"

"OK Julius, let´s take at least 20 years out of that body, and you" the former princess looked at Pit "if you are as good with your accuracy of your bow, I´ll need your eyesight" she spoke and explained "I´ll give you a temporal sight to see the strains in Julius muscles so I can apply my healing magic on them"

Firestorm Citadel


Most of the shot pinged off the Trojan's heavy armor. However, a few did impact the crystal, causing chips to fly off of the crystal. The Trojan emiited a horse-like snort, steam coming from it's stone nostrils.

It steadied itself, and charged forward in a burst of lightning speed towards Takoizu, it's shield held firm as it attempted to slam Takoizu with all it's might.

Meanwhile, HP tangled with the second one. It's sword crashed down where he was, splitting him clean in half. However, that didn't really phase him that much. He degraded to a pool of white energy, moving and reforming behind the Trojan's back. The Trojan tried to stomp the pool to no avail. A holy sword sliced into the Trojan's back crystal. The Trojan swiftly swiveled around before another swing could be gotten off, nearly knocking HP away from the force of the shield.



Santa Cruz


"I know, but i've been practicing for short periods. I think I can do it." Koishi replied. She looked at the nullifier on her wrist and took a deep breath. Then, she simply shut it off. Immidiately, her eyes noticeably dialated. Voices, thought-streams. She could hear them, in various directions. She tried to repress Isaac and Dante's to the best of her ability. Then, she tried to point out direction. She could feel the panic, the desperation in those myriad of thoughts.

"There's a few." Koishi's voice sounded strained. "Sorta close. There's still not many voices. I can feel what they feel. They just..." Koishi held her head a little, turning the nullifier back on. She took another deep breath. "Somewhere north-east, I think."

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.

Washington D.C. | Palutena's Apartment

The second the note appeared in Palutena's hand she gave a polite and understanding nod as she walked back to her room, so that she can wait for Midna to get done with Julius.

Pit though stayed as he looked a bit curious as to what Midna was going to do. "Uh... O-Okay..." Pit said as he got ready to help Midna.


Julius however turned to look at Midna with an equally curious but also cautious stare. It was clear that Julius was a bit... hesitant to let Midna work on his bod, but he also felt like she wasn't going to try and hurt him on purpose at all. As such he stood up and stretched before asking. "Okay then. What do you need me to do exactly...?"


((going to get this started with Wriggle again.))
Kappa Village | Kawashiro Residence

Meanwhile at the Kawashiro Residence.

Tails had just gotten what he needed from Nitori to get his his Tornado plane with Mitori, and had went off with it. All the while X had just gotten finished with his repairs, and he had woken up in... Nitori's Workplace? Seeing this he sat up and took a look around as a quick flashback goes through his head as his electronic brain made sense of what happened. What he remembered... made him feel rather depressed as he remembered a bomb being dropped followed by a large flash, and ending with him seeing Zero and Nitori before passing out.

Either way X had then stood up and hopped off the table he was on, and began to go through the Kawashiro's Residence, looking for Zero or Nitori.


((this is for Wriggle))
Barcelona | Spain

As Ciel left with Kongou, he led her through the city streets. Showing her all the various sights and landmarks in the city so far. Though after about 30 minutes of sightseeing they finally arrived at one of the Sagrada Família.

Once they arrived Ciel spun on his heel and turned to look at Kongou. The Cathedral standing behind him he outstretched his arms. "And here we are. One of the biggest churches in Barcelona. The Sagrada Família. I do not know much about it other than the fact that it's one of the biggest here in the city of Barcelona."

Midna looked at both Julius and Pit as she held the angel´s hand with hers "There isn´t much needed to do" she spoke while pouring some magic into Pit´s body, letting him see things as if they were in the twilight Realm "You will see Julius´ strains in his muscles, they will have a faint glow" she explained and then looked at the vampire hunter.

"Just take off the outer shirt for your comfort, you will feel sparks on the places I press my magic to relax and revitalize the strains, might as well lie don on your stomach too" the twili said charging her hands until they had a faint crackle of electricity that went to her index fingers.

After all the fiasco, Nitori thought she deserved another bath as she was seen relaxing in the hot tub in her workshop. It was a rather marvelous invention: custom-built to provide the best Jacuzzi experience anyone can ever have ever, and every time Nitori used it she felt rejuvenated, her muscles relaxed after all the heavy lifting and other engineering bullshit.

"Ah man, that's the stuff~" Nitori sighed in pleasure, submerged in water almost all the way except for her head, shoulders, and upper chest. Behind her, a jet stream of water was massaging her back, which felt heavenly for her clumped muscles. "Seriously, this is probably the best thing I've made this year."


Barcelona | Spain


"Wow! It's larger than any shinto shrines I've seen in my life!" Kongou exclaimed vibrantly at the sight of the cathedral. It truly was a large architecture: a sacred building of imposing stature with its signature four tower peaks piercing the skies. "I wonder how they built it with their lack of technology!"

Perusing through the cathedral, Kongou led Ciel around looking at various different interesting spots inside, on, and around the cathedral. Oblivious bystanders would remark that the two makes an amazingly cute couple...

Doing as Midna commanded, Julius began to take off his coat and shirt for ease of use. Upon doing so Pit began to see several spots begin to glow on the Vampire Hunter's body. Seeing this Pit began to quickly examine and look all around Julius for more of these spots... Seeing where a few of these glowing spots were made Pit want to avert his eyes, but upon finding some more serious ones he looked at Midna and began pointing at the ones on Julius's shoulders, chest, stomach, elbows, knees, ankles, and the back of his neck.

"There is a bit more but... uhm... I don't think I want to see you touch those spots, and I doubt you do too." Pit spoke with a nervous chuckle. Julius just tilted his head upon Pit's statement... but after a minute he quickly caught onto what he was talking about. This prompted Julius to blush a bit as he decided to make a sly, perverted joke.


"Well if it's Midna then I wouldn't mind her touching me there..." He spoke with a chuckle as he waited for Midna to begin this process.




Kappa Village | Kawashiro Residence

After a while of searching, and by a while I mean 3 minutes, X had finally spotted Nitori in a... hot tub. Seeing this X called out as he walked up to the tub. Looking at it X was definitely curious... but he also showed no interest in hopping inside the tub.

"Hi Nitori. I see you are relaxing in... A Custom Built Hot Tub seemingly designed to provide the most comfort... So are you feeling comfy?" He spoke as he stood by the tub.



Barcelona | Spain

Kongou's reactions of joy, shock, and awe made Ciel feel a bit... happy for once. Seeing such a girl like Kongou being so full of energy and youth looking around and examining the entire cathedral made him happy he chose this place first. Though the way she led him around made Ciel feel a bit embarrassed. He was taking notice of the looks that people gave them as they passed by. It showed that they thought that Ciel and Kongou were... well... a couple, and judging by their expressions and their mumbling they thought they were a CUTE couple at that. This just made Ciel blush in embarrassment. He already has enough trouble with Lu... but now Kongou. A girl he just met...

Well... actually it might not be that bad...



Little did they know though, a young white haired man in a purple and black suit with 6 panel-like devices floating behind him was at a nearby cafe drinking some hot chocolate with a pastry of some sort. On his head were headphones as he was clearly listening to music of some sort. He looked quite mature in appearance. For he was standing at around 6ft tall, and had a rather... refined demeanor as he drank his hot beverage. Though something had seemingly caught his attention. A bit of a beeping in his headphones that had warned him of one thing and one thing only.

A Dark... demonic energy source was really close. This energy was familiar. It was Dark El. The Dark El he had came to Barcelona for in the first place. He had been searching for quite a while, but he found that he wasn't exactly able to pursue it due to who the Dark El was coming from... two powerful demons.

With the panel-like devices known as Dynamo's floating behind him having detected the Dark El and pin-pointed the source. He quickly finished his cocoa and placed some money on the table before standing up and deciding to... investigate and follow it...


"One source of Dark El in the vicinity deteced... heheh... Rather than the typical two. I can actually pursue this now." He said as he decided to follow Ciel and Kongou from a VERY safe distance that made it seem like he was just some guy blending in with the crowd. Especially with how he decided to make his Dynamo's float around his waist for... ease of use.
