Dante turned to Lujuria when she spoke up. Seems like she's a little bit in the dark about the situation at hand, as such he decided to give as simple of a rundown as possible...

"Sorry girl, but this entire city is already in an epidemic. An epidemic of the undead. All I remember was something big happening deeper within the city, then a great power came over it. After that undead started attacking everything Streets have been swarmed with undead ghouls for a while now. So no real way of preventing it. We just have to look for any survivors and get them out of here before things get burned." Dante answered, sounding a bit unsure of himself for once as he turned to Isaac who has more knowledge of the situation at hand. "To be blunt here, I'm not the one you should be asking. I may have been fighting the undead for all the night, but I don't know all the details. When I finally ran into your boyfriend there, he seemed to know more about what's happening. So I'd ask him instead."



Washington D.C | Temen-ni-gru

Julius was busy trying to formulate a plan with Toriel, one that'd help them deal with this beast. He was agreeing with Toriel's idea, but the question is... who would do the attacking, and who would do the distracting? Papyrus and Toriel seemed to have range on their side, while despite Julius's good throwing arm, he wouldn't be the most reliable in ranged conflict. So thinking about it deeply, he then was about to suggest that he and Frisk would do the distracting. However... Papyrus and Frisk were already on the move.

Frisk managed to get high up due to her jetpack, and had began taunting the beast. All the while Papyrus was on guard. Julius was clearly a bit on edge about this, as he wasn't sure if the plan would work or not. However after a mere 3 minutes, the beast inside the nest let out a loud ear-piercing screech as it began to slither out of one of the openings closer to the ceiling where Frisk was.

The Gigapede came flying out at a rather slow pace, at just the right height to get the child. With it's body twisting and turning as it began to open it's mouth as it slowly approached Frisk. Seeing this Julius readied his whip as he was about to jump into action.

At least they know one thing about this creature. The beast's nests seemed to be interconnected. So if it were to go into one of the web-covered openings in the walls, it could then come out of any of the other openings.

Fortunately just as the Gigapede began to emerge, a small blue heart like symbol appeared on the center of it's body, and just as it happened it began to quickly descend. While it descended it twisted and turned as it seemingly panicked. Papyrus's blue attack appears to be successful.


___________________________


Meanwhile with Midna, Palutena, Pit, and Sans. Pit was busy returning fire with Palutena's Bow as he quickly strafed left and right to avoid shots from the Enigma's. Combined with Palutena's magic barrier protecting herself and Sans, and Midna's surprisingly effective combat style. The Enigma's soon fell one by one... eventually there was only one left, and it looked damaged and broken as it stumbled about on the top most platform.

Seeing this Pit prepared to finish off the poor creature with a well aimed shot from the bow he wielded. However... suddenly a very small, tiny white bone appeared from behind the Enigma and tapped it on the back of the head gently. Causing the last of the demonic archer statues to fall off the platform and onto the ground below where it promptly shattered...

Upon it's death Palutena and Pit lowered their weapons and magic as the room quickly shook... The central pillar in the room began to twist and turn as a set of spiraling stairs began to jut out from the pillar. Not only that but the red spiritual energy surrounding the door they came in from, and the door at the top of the newly formed set of stairs had faded. Leaving the door's unlocked...

Seeing this Pit and Palutena looked at each other, before turning to Sans who was previously standing behind the Goddess. However now he seemed to have left in his mysterious ways. Either way Palutena turned to Midna and spoke.

"That was impressive skill you showed Midna. Anyways down to business. If we are done here, it seems as if the doors have opened. So let's proceed. I'd like to try and get to the bottom of this tower as soon as possible." Palutena spoke as she then proceeded up the stairs. Pit on the other hand seemed to have stood to attention as he followed his beloved Goddess up the stairs.... Leaving Midna, and a rather strange looking plaque on the side of the pillar written in some strange language. The plaque had a odd aura to it... As if it was begging for Midna to reach out and place her hand on it... but why? It didn't feel as if it was some sort of trap. In fact it felt as if it was someone, something, trying to call out to her. Trying to tell her something important.



Paris, France

Meanwhile...

Down in the sewers of Paris, things seemed to be going rather smoothly, if not smelly. However as Carmelita and her little partner in crimesolving traveled down the sewers, the sound of something heavy and metal clanking down and locking behind them could be heard. If they were to turn around, they'd find the metal bars that were the entrance to these sewers, had slammed shot behind them. Judging by the size and age of the metal bars however. Something strong had to have slammed them shut...

Just then the sound of a splash sound in the water near the entrance could be heard... before something swimming quickly through the water dashed right past them. Due to how dark the sewers are, and how murky the water is. It was hard to see what it was.

The moment the demon bug poked it's ugly head out of the wall again and started flying upwards towards Frisk, Papyrus let out a mighty barrage of light blue transparent bones that reached from one side of the room to the other. The damage they did to the gigapede as it moved wouldn't be anything special, but hurting the beast was never his goal, at least not with this attack. There was visible sweat atop the skeleton's skkull, showing how worried and afraid he was for the human's life, but despite his fear he carried on and did what he knew had to be done to save them. Fortunately it worked. With the Gigapede's soul now turned blue the creature fell from the sky above with roaring thud "Sit down, you'er GROUNDED!" called out Papyrs with his eyes focused, but showing great relief as well. there was also a hint of pride coming from the way he stood and the look on his skull. The human had counted on him and he didn't let her down. It was a good feeling.

Frisk had actually been recording that entire little plan of theirs, from the moment the demon came out again to it falling out of the sky and Papyrus proudly shouting that it was 'grounded'. She couldn't help but post it online with the title "Why Papyrus is so COOL!" ("I have to show this to Sans later."0 she thought as she put her phone away. With her jetpack still out, the girl held still for now in case she would be needed again, that and she didnt' know if she had enough fuel left to get back down. Luckily there were a few ways to get back down without hurting herself too badly.

Santa Cruz

The demon girl was a bit disappointed to hear the unfortunate state of the city. She knew Issac would have wanted to save as many lives as possible, but such a thing wasn't possible when you didn't know where the lives that could still be saved were in the first place. If only there were a way to track them, to snit them out. Instead of commenting on this however, the girl decided to hold to Issac's arm and teasingly push her breast against it. "You hear that? I told you we look like a couple." she said trying to cheer the man up and get his mind off the state of the city.

Now that the last creature fell in the battle, Midna took some breaths to recover "Well then, that was a good workout." she chuckled and aimed her palm to a safe wall, where the remaining ranged attacks she absorbed were launched. The twili looked at the green haired woman with a smirk "You guys aren't so bad either, we do a good team." she commented when suddenly feeling an entity calling her, the former royal looked at the source and found an odd looking plaque ("Huh.. that's strange") she thought, there was no one, but the plaque gained her attention, she could feel its call, and probably unfortunately, the more adventurous and curious part of her mind send Midna to look at the plaque as she walked towards it.

On the other side of the tower, Toriel charged her magic on the trident and threw it again, this time, the weapon got lodged on the floor beside the insect monster, an oval of fire started forming around the Gigapede. The goat wasn't done as her paws got engulfed in flames and she threw fireballs at the areas near the nests, ready to explode on her command if the creature had other tricks.

Paris, France


("The heck is that?") the inspector looked at whatever passed them in the sewer water, it was too dark to make a form, much to the fox's frustration, but she had to keep going "Come on, we are getting closer to whatever is Ice man's place." Carmelita spoke to the dragon girl, she had a flashlight on one hand and the other was free for Efina to grab it if she wanted to. If she was honest with herself, The Inspector would have let the girl be somewhere safe, but she had the feeling of trusting Efina, the little one had something bigger inside her, something strong and powerful

the dragon girl held to her mother's hand while using her other hand to cover her nose, she even seemed to be holding her breath for as long as possible between breathing, she clearly didn't want to be here, but she didn't want to leave her mother either. Occasionally she used her fire breath like a match to clear out the smell so she could actually breath without inhaling yucky sewer stench. "Do you think the smell bothers the robots?" she asked curiously.

Carmelita couldn't help it, she just laughed at the question, it was something she enjoyed of the little dragon "It is possible, if they were built to be like us, then they probably have noses." she responded with a thoughtful look on her eyes "Then again, the criminal we are looking for is probably used to the bad smell already."

As Midna approached the plaque, something strange happened. It felt as if she was receiving visions of something else, or that's what it felt like. Instead visions of a shadowy, demonic figure with pillars of fire behind it flashed in her mind, and for a brief moment it seemed to be just visions... Before the spoke with one simple question.

"Why are you here...?"



Meanwhile....


As soon as the Gigapede came crashing down with a loud thud, Julius quickly followed up on Toriel's plan of attack. Leaping as high as he could into the air, which for a human was... honestly quite surprising, he then proceeded to draw several silver daggers from inside his coat. With which he quickly took aim at the sections of the Gigapede that weren't protected. Mainly the portions of it's body in between each armored segment of exoskeleton. After taking his aim, he had then threw the daggers with sharp precision. Sadly only two of the 3 daggers he had thrown managed to strike the intended spots of the Gigapede's body.

With the two daggers striking, the demonic centipede began to squirm and writhe in pain, and with it's thrashing about it ended up touching one of the fireballs that Toriel had casted out. On top of that, the Gigapede thrashed into the fire surrounding it. This was beginning to cause a lot of pain for the demon... However it was nowhere near done yet. For after it had done all that, it quickly turned to face the large windows leading out. Which weren't protected. Then it did yet another loud shriek, and released a shockwave of demonic electricity which had sent Julius crashing down onto the ground. The shockwave seemed powerful enough to disperse Toriel's flames.

That wasn't all however, as after that the beast began to twitch as the wings it had for arms had blown off the creature in a bloody fashion, and following it a series of insectoid looking legs began to jut out from the stubs where it's wings once were. With that it let out a roar before crawling out the window and out the side of the building... beginning to climb along the outer wall.




Gensokyo


Kirby tried to dodge the energy bullets as best as he could, and thankfully he managed to last long enough to finish up his charge. With his charge finished he released a powerful blast of plasma that went flying right at Marx, with said blast flying at a rather decent speed. Unfortunately for the puffball, little Kirby found himself getting trapped. His area to move was getting smaller and tighter. Soon he wouldn't be able to avoid. Either way he continued to try and dodge to the best of his power, but unfortunately Kirby wasn't able too... and as such he got struck by one of the homing lasers. Which prompted him to get knocked away from the jetpack, and prompted him to lose his Plasma copy ability.

After getting knocked back by the first homing laser, Kirby managed to recover a bit. However he was stuck in mid-air, and worst of all, free fall. Kirby had to think of something fast if he wanted to survive and beat Marx... That's when Kirby closed his eyes and opened his mouth as he began to inhale. Facing Marx's direction, he was beginning to some of the lasers, and as he the longer he continued this, the more lasers he was sucking up.

Soon it wasn't long before he had swallowed up quite a fair amount of the lasers Marx was shooting, and with that large amount stored in his cheeks he quickly released them all back at Marx in the form of a rather large star-shaped blast that began to fly right at Marx. If Marx managed to avoid the blast of plasma, then this counter-attack of Kirby's would at least be a bit harder to dodge, thus giving Kirby more time to land and retreat for the time being. Or better... seek help. That is if Marx doesn't catch onto this simple plan.

Deep down Kirby was wishing Meta-Knight was close enough nearby to help out.




Barcelona

Add listened to Flowey's explanation... and it was interesting. Interestingly tempting. The prospect of this 'Inventory' intrigued Add quite a bit. If what this flower is saying happens to be true, then there will hopefully be at least something there that could help him. Even if there wasn't anything that could help him return home, there could at least be some interesting bits of tech there... if this place exists.

Either way after a bit of time Add turned to Flowey and responded.

"I don't know if I can trust you just yet... Flowey, but if you are sure this place exists and has things that can help me.. Then so be it. Let's go." Add spoke as he snapped his fingers, and with that his invisible Nasod Armor flared up, indicating it was turned on. Not only that but his 6 dynamos flew from where they were previously, having finished what they were doing, and were now floating right behind Add.

Seeing the Gigapede moving upwards once again, the little child boldly jumped on the creatures back and hung on tight. Papyrus, Tori and the vampire hunter had been giving the demon quite the thrashing thanks to the surprise ambush they had set up moments ago. Although it looked like the demon had some fight left in it, perhaps it was weak enough that Frisk could get it to run away. With this plan in mind she would try and stir the creature away. However she had moved a bit too soon and the beast let out a shock wave of electric energy. This put a sizable dent in Frisk's HP, knocking her down from the full 20 to just 7 in a single attack, luckily she had been using at least second rate armor or it might have been a bit more fetal. But despite the damage she took, she held tight to the beast like a cowgirl on a raging bull. "Is that all you got?" she asked the demon, more so to trick the others into thinking she wasn't hurt than it was to taunt him.

Paris, France

"Yeah well, If we run into potty man down here I'm leaving." the girl said as she imagined a toilet robot master using rather... disgusting attacks against them.

It was exhausting to summon the trident again and maintain the fire traps, Toriel's mind was focused on the task, until she saw the transition of the Gigapede's wings into legs, such action made her shiver "That's.. Disgusting." was all the goat monster said, actually trying to ignore the bile taste in her mouth. Of course things wouldn't be so easy, the human child was ridinh the creature as the latter was going outside "We need to follow them, before we lose them." She started running towards the Gigapede, internally cursing her slow speed due to her size and weight.

Meanwhile with the twili, she was confused at what the heck was going on. One minute, she was with Palutena and the other, she was in a place that was similar to the Goron mines, the heat felt similar as a bead of sweat passed along her spine.

She then heard someone, there wasn't much to get a picture of it, but the magician could feel the power, it asked her why she was here, and the former royal answered "If by here you mean a demonic tower, we are trying to see why its here, or if you mean this sauna of yours, ask the damn tablet that sent me here."

Just as the Gigapede had shed it's wings in turn for legs, Julius began to make a mad dash at the Gigapede... especially after seeing Frisk leap onto the demon's back. However just before Julius and Toriel could reach them... a sudden swarm of bat-like gargoyles made out of what seemed to be swirling blood came flying in in an angry swarm that quickly tackled Julius. Having sensed the holy energy of the Vampire Killer whip in his possession, must have stirred these things. Having been practically tackled by five man-sized blood gargoyles, Julius had been pushed to the ground and on his back. Despite having the means to take out these things, he was being swarmed and in turn, struggling to break free from their attacks.


_______________________

The demonic shady figure just stared at Midna as if it was trying to comprehend what it said. Then without warning a series of image flashed in Midna's mind. The visions consisted of the top of the tower. Which looked like some kind of ritual site, then flashes to what seemed to be a large cavern with a waterfall within, and behind said waterfall seemed to be an opening. These random images didn't seem to say much or give Midna much information as to what is going on. Sadly she wasn't going to get anymore information as this entire vision seemed to begin to fade...

With Palutena's voice calling out to Midna from the stairwell that Midna was going to go up before this whole vision started.

By the time Midna's vision ended, Palutena can be seen looking down the spiral stairs surrounding the pillar and calling out. "Hey Midna, are you feeling alright..?" Palutena called out down below, a little worried about Midna's sudden pause at the bottom of the stairs.

Whatever Midna had witnessed, one word echoed throughout her head...

'Sparda.'


_________________________

Meanwhile outside the tower on the opposite side of the tower that the giant Gigapede was climbing up, Gold Team had managed to successfully fire their grapling hooks into the windows of what seemed to be a bit of a Library inside the tower. However just as their grappling hooks secured themselves into the stone of the building. The sound of what seemed to be similar to that of sirens of old mythology could be heard as what seemed to be angelic looking beings of golden light could be seen flying down the tower towards Gold Team... However as they grew closer their wings that surrounded their bodies as the hovered down unfolded. Revealing a hideous looking form beneath them. These were what seemed to be stereotypical 'Fallen Angels' coming down to confront these Spartan's... with malicious intent.

This wasn't looking good. Frisk knew another shock wave would be more than she could handle, and that a fall from this height would... Probably maybe possibly kill her. Well it wasn't the first time she had taken a long fall but.. there probably wasnt' a bed of golden flowers at the bottom of this tower to save her. In an act of desperation, Frisk shook her hips, listening to see how much fule was still sloshing around inside her jet pack. There wasn't too much left but maybe... The child stood up, holding to the creature with her hands and waited for a moment when she could stand straight without falling. Eventually her time came and she took off running up the creature,s body. She springboard off the demon's head nd jumped as high as she could, activating her jet pack at the peak of her jump to propel her just a bit further.

The child only just barely managed to grab hold of an open ledge on the tower at the top of her rocket jump. It wasn't easy, but she managed to hold on long enough to swing herself up high enough, eventually gaining enough of a grip on the tower to pull herself up to a higher level. Unfortunately her jet pack's fuel tank was now empty, she wouldn't be flying any time soon. With no way to get back down, Frisk would be on her own for a while, while the others fought the demon. *The feeling of being alone brings back memories. You are filled with determination*

Meanwhile down in the lower par of the tower. Seeing that Frisk was now gone had detracted the skeleton for some time. He had been closely watching the human to try and catch her should she start to fall, but because of this he almost failed to see the other human needing his help. Papyrus snapped out of his worried daze long enough to realize the vampire hunter was being pinned down. Remembering the bottle of holy water that Julius had given him earlier, Papyrus took out the small flask and through the holy water on top of him, dousing the demons in it's divinity. Hopefully this would get them off the vampire hunter, at least maybe long enough for him to make a counter attack.
