"Perfect in combonation with my own power. Sounds like a good deal to me." Magolor replied.

"You better know what you're doing, Mags." Marx mumbled, jut loud enough for Magolor to hear.

"Alright then, get goi-" Patchouli dismissed the two, but stopped to look past the hallway to find the pink fluffball wandering around the library, confused and curious. "Ah, he's awake."

"Ah, Miss Patchouli, I'll take care of him-" Koakuma jumped and tried to fly to the little pink ball, but Patchouli stopped her with a fingersnap.

"No matter. He probably still thinks of you as an enemy, so I suggest you keep your distance." Patchouli said, comforting her anxious helper. She carefully approached Kirby and, when he was within distance, Patchouli softly spoke to him: "It's dangerous to wander around here, you know."

"Who is awa..." Magolor glanced down the haall to where Koakuma went, to see the unmistakable form of Kirby.

"Marx, if you dare try anything in next minute or so, I will rip you apart, piece by piece." Magolor aid to Marx without turning around.

"Huh? Whadda' you ... mean..." Marx's eyes widened at the sight of the puffball. "You have got to be shitting me. That fuckin' puffball's here?!"

Kirby was walking through the halls of the library until he saw a few figures in the distance and a voice speaking to him in a rather soft, and somewhat tone. This caused Kirby to stop in his tracks as he saw one of the figures approaching him. Of which Kirby slowly took a few steps back until he saw that it was a woman with long, purple hair. Behind her in the distance he could also see that girl that attacked him from before.

"Poyo?" Kirby spoke as he heard another voice speak loudly in anger and shock... a rather familiar voice... one that made Kirby... slightly confused. That is when Kirby looked at Patchouli, then back at the 2 familiar figures... Kirby's eyes also widened as he jumped back, letting out a shocked yelp once he realized who they were.

Magolor and Marx!? What are they doing here!? Without any hesitation he ran towards Marx and Magolor, ignoring Patchouli and Koakuma in the process... Kirby had to find out how they got here, and why.



Ruined Detroit, Michigan - US - Zero's Location


The battle between Zero and Prometheus was already a heated one. Their weapons clashed, releasing sparks and bright flashes of light with each strike.

"Well I'm impressed! You're one of the first people I met to actually hold a fight against me! The only other ones was that crazy robot chick, and Blue Armored Reploid! All the others just went down far too easily! This is actually quite fun!" Exclaimed Prometheus as he jumped back. "Then again... what is there to expect from such a high ranking Maverick Hunter such as yourself? I mean you have defeated quite a bit of Mavericks back in your day... huh Zero?" Prometheus laughed as he held his scythe over his shoulder.


Zero's reaction to what Prometheus said drew a bit of curiosity. Lowering his weapon Zero spoke, "How do you know me? I don't think I ever met you before."

Prometheus simply looked at his opponent and let out a short laugh. "Oh I know more about you than you know! Remember we were just characters from a game. We can easily get information on others just by looking it up on a freaking computer! Besides a little birdie had told me some rather interesting stuff about you Zero."

"Little birdie?... What on earth are you talking about?" Zero questioned as Prometheus didn't reply with an answer, just another maniacal laugh.

"I said answer me!" Zero proclaimed as he readied his Z-Saber, ready to strike his opponent... but Prometheus kept laughing... his laugh echoing throughout the city as a dark aura began to surround Prometheus.


"Sorry... but I can't answer that... I already spoke enough as is. It's about time that I get going anyways..." Replied Prometheus as he started to fade away into his dark aura. "I'll just tell you this. Soon things will be getting a LOT more interesting! Answers will become clear Zero. For you and your friends. Well... bye!" Prometheus spoke as Zero in a desperate attempt to stop him trying performing a dashing strike with his saber. However his saber just sliced through thin air as Prometheus vanished, causing Zero to let out a quick curse.

"God DAMMIT!!! He got away... shit..." Zero spoke to himself as he sheathed his blade. With a disgruntled sigh he began walking back in the direction he came from. "I need to find Nitori and Eve fast... I hope Nitori found X..." Thought the Maverick Hunter as he continued walking.



Shining Needle Castle

Sonic nodded as he grabbed Shynmyoumaru's hand. Preparing the jump he put his free hand over his head. "So we're just going to jump huh? Is that it?" Sonic asked with a rather irritated smirk. "If that's what you plan on doing then I could have done that myself! For crying out loud I survived falls far higher than this!" Sonic commented over the sound of the wind and stormy weather which made it somewhat hard hear others. Yet if you were able to hear him clearly, you could also hear him chuckling a bit.



Kawashiro Residence - Kappa Village

After a while of struggling to lift the contraption out of the junk for Mitori, Tails' tails stopped spinning as he slowly fell to the ground. Out of breath Tails looked up at Mitori. "Okay... this thing is... pretty heavy... But don't worry! I got it! Just let me try one more time!" Tails spoke as he took one last deep breath as he again hovered with his twin-tails just above the machine they plan on using to tow the Tornado to the Kappa Village. Tails then grabbed onto the device the best he could. Quickly Tails' tails started spinning rapidly, spinning with more intensity as he tried pulling the device out of the junk pile this time rather than lifting it out of the junk.

Slowly, but surely Tails with all his strength, was finally pulling the contraption out of the pile.

Bang was kinda dumbstruck by the Oni girl's response. "Oh well of course! How could I forget! I must remember that not all people in this land have the same preferences. I'm sure there must be at least a little bit of an alcoholic beverage somewhere. I would recommend that you ask Byakuren when she is finished with her current business though." Bang replied with a somewhat nervous chuckle.


Streets of London

Quickly hearing that these new... acquaintances were about to leave so suddenly, Carl quickly stepped forward, with Ada floating a few feet behind him.


"Please wait! You three do come from the Prometheus Labs if I'm not mistaken. Please tell me if I'm correct, because I really wish to visit the labs! After all that is one of the reasons why I have come to London... So... would you kindly help guide my sister and I to the Labs? You see... I kinda got lost..."


Manhattan

After everything happened, all the fighting between the soldier in red, the mysterious blue woman, and the girl with the robot arm against the robbers, Dust stood up... Well he tried anyways. The pain from the injury he took to his shoulder was still there, but thankfully the bullet was out of the wound. The pain from the injury had caused him to fall to the ground, but he tried one more time and finally succeeded.

With one slow deep breath Dust grabbed his mystical blade Ahrah by the handle and spoke. "I guess it is about time that I take my leave as well now that we're done here..." Said Dust as he turned and bowed to Gaige.

"Thank you for taking care of my injury to the best of your power. I'll try and clean it once I get to a more quiet place..." Dust said as he then began walking in the opposite direction of the Soldier and Demoman.

"Those were some... nice people Ahrah... I hope we will get a chance to meet them again in the future..." Whispered Dust to Ahrah as Ahrah replied.

"Oh I'm sure we will Dust. The future is lined with many twists and curves. I suspect that we will be bound to meet them again soon..." Whispered Ahrah.

"I hope you're right..."

Henir's time and space

I´m sorry, I couldn't wait anymore.. :rolleyes:

The group was heading closer to the Hospital, things seemed ok at the moment since neither of the furred creatures felt danger.
"You know.. I have made some search about us on the internet" Nera spoke out of the blue

Renamon raised an eyebrow at that "And what did you found?" she asked, the fox knew they were all from videogames, that was an understatement and she was ok with that, but the mischievous smile coming from the Pokémon was making her fur shiver.

"Oh just some interesting things, they see my kind as a silent and loyal one and that I´m a rival with Mewtwo in a fighting game, I even have a movie about me and Mew" The Lucario talked about herself and some other things "While your adventure with the tamers was also shown, I´m impressed with the friendship you got with that human girl"

"Rika was a great friend, I´m sure that she has grown up in the way she wanted" Renamon commented with some proud of her Tamer friend.

"But there was also something kind of.. interesting about you. Looks like you are pretty popular to the humans, there are some awesome fight scenes with you and some other characters, even us, also there are sentimental ones that show both your soft and sage side." Nera said now smirking "But the ones that struck me the most were the ones that showed interesting.. aspects" the smirk became lewdly.

The digimon was both confused and embarrassed when she asked "And.. what aspects do you mean?". She knew that there were things that wouldn't be innocent, hey she could be a priestess and shaman, but she was also someone who enjoyed life, even more with her mischievious partner. The Lucario was excited in her mind ("Oh she just asked for it..") she thought having the perfect chance to tease the digimon.

"Let´s say you are.. "desired" by many humans and characters, not that I blame the them since they are right on it, but they exaggerated some parts like.. this one!" she said suddenly groping the fox´s chest and quickly jumping back laughing at the elbow attack from her embarrased partner. "You can´t just do things like that!" Renamon yelled now flustered to the point of crossing her arms to cover the molested area.

Enjoying the rare occasion of an embarrased Renamon, the Lucario kept going "Oh don't worry, if it was anyone else, he or she would have a lot of problems, at least I know I got the privilege for being the only one to be allowed of having you" Nera smiled.

"You mean I´m being seen like that by so many? Do I really want to know about it?" The fox asked troubled and actually sick of what the humans made of her

"While there are some sentimental images, there are others that are better for.. private, would you like to know some? asked the Pokémon who then fell to the floor with a bonk on the head as the digimon walked forward showing anger that barely hid the flushed skin and sparked fur ("Worth it") was the though of the smiling Lucario.

Nera got up feeling only the initial hit that soon faded as she followed her partner.

(Other places being prepared, low internet)

Manhattan

Gaige nodded at the dog like swordsman "Well, if you need help with that wound, I can help you by at least stitching it, but I would need you to come to my apartment" She then looked at the bluenette "And what about you? is there something you need or assistance?"

Roxas house

Mara sighed looking back at the people in the blonde´s home "I suggest we decide what is in priority, if that mouse vanished, he must have had a reason for it"

Russia

Both the bounty hunter and the commander were firing at everything that got close to them, someone would think they are giving their all, but in reality, they were actually enjoying the horde siege "How long until this thing ends?" Samus asked out loud as she exploded some demons with a well aimed super missile.

((Quick post for Kristia.))
Inside the Gate of Darkness - Russia

As Samus and the commander kept fending off the demons, Elesis was busy meditating at the entrance of a large stone archway on the group's side of the bridge.

"Just a little longer! I have to channel El into our portal! Once I'm done things will be over in an instant! Just give me some time and hold them off!" Elesis called out as she went back to focusing her own energy to activate the portal. Of which an occasional bolt of blue lightning could be seen coming from the archway.


Meanwhile as the demons were being killed, they were being immediately replaced with stronger demons. Though eventually the entire ground shook as the sound of a loud roar coming from the other side of the bridge could be heard echoing throughout the demon realm. On the other side of the bridge, what looked to be a large blackish-orange suit of armor with its helmet missing could be seen emerging from the dragon shaped stone portal on the other side of the bridge. As the possessed suit of armor stepped out of the portal a dark red flame erupted from the whole where the helmet would be.

The possessed suit of armor known as the Dullahan Knight roared as it drew it's large sword and shield. Standing at roughly 18-22 ft tall the demonic being was quite intimidating. Then without hesitation it locked its sights on the bounty hunter and commander as it began sprinting at full force while holding it's shield in front of him for protection.

Elesis turned around as she felt the ground shake. The portal she was trying to activate was thankfully close to fully opening, but what she saw made her worried a bit. "Oh goddammit! It had to be that stupid thing! Just be careful! Frontal attacks do nothing despite the size of the shield! As long as it is guarding with it's shield you cannot phase it due to magic! Try and attack from behind! That's your best option!" Elesis yelled as the Dullahan turned it's sights towards Elesis and the ally portal. It was now attempting to charge right into, and past Samus and Jane to try and stop Elesis.

(Well sooooooorryyyyyy for having a lung disease that could possibly be lethal if not treated correctly even today.)

"Yeeeeeeah I think I'm going to excuse myself then-" Suika began as she slept past Bang and his three disciples for her everlasting quest for alcoholic beverages when Byakuren left the guest hall with the elder Hon and Kogasa with her. Hon looked pleased with her face, while Byakuren looked a bit worried. Kogasa was her usual, unsympathetic self, playing with her umbrella: which was revealed to hide an extremely-sharp rapier of sort.

"...I'll send someone tonight, then." Byakuren's voice was overheard from where Bang was standing. Noticing this, Suika skipped over to greet the chief priest.

"Byakuren-shama." Suika slurred, trying to keep a formality between the two but unable to do so because of her sheer drunkenness. It's a wonder how someone could be so drunk early in the morning, but then again she is an oni, so no one ordinary can really pinpoint this issue.

"Oh, I didn't even notice you were here." Byakuren bowed. Such patience to welcome a drunk youkai to a holy place like a Buddhist temple is what makes Byakuren exceptional. "My apologies, Ibuki-sama. Kogasa, why don't you see her in while I debrief things to Shishigami-san?"

"Yeah sure." Kogasa shrugged and trodded alone to the guest room again. Not that Suika minds, of course, as she was seen wobbling left and right into the room as well.

Manhattan - New York

"Assistance?" I thought. Perhaps I could ask her about the whereabouts of my friends... but asking someone such a question right off the bat would be a terrible mistake. "No... nothing comes to my mind as of right now."

Is it because of the sudden adrenaline rush, or is it because of the usually chilliness of the winter times in New York? I felt a sudden chill creep down my skin. The day was only starting to bloom and yet...

"...say, tell me one thing though. You saved my life there, and I want to return a favor. Do you need anything from me?"

---

A few minutes later, Soldier and Demoman arrived at Soldier's apartment. However, what they found was what was left of Soldier's belongings packed haphazardly into several differently-sized boxes left outside the front door with a taped paper added on the topmost box. The paper read:

Eviction Notice

We regret to inform you that your suite's monthly payment rent has not been fulfilled in the most recent six(6) months. As previously stated in the rental agreement contract, we have vacated your suit and terminated your contract, effective today.

Magolor made several quick movements with his hands upon seeing Kirby's sprint, forming a large electric barrier in Kirby's path.

"Okay, we'll get what you need, come back later." Magolor said quickly, before slapping Marx on the back, an whispering in his ear. "Fly off before something gets harmed. Whether it be you is optional, you know."

Marx grumbled, but relented, flying off out of the library. Magolor turned to Patchouli and gave a small bow. "We must be going now, if you do not mind. Your stuff will be here later, uh, ciao."

With that, Magolor quickly floated out of the library, and down the entrance hallway.

Inside the Gate of Darkness - Russia

The bounty hunter quickly fired her grapole beam at the Dullahan's back knowing she would ridevwith its force, as she was pulled, Samus powered her boosters to at least slow down the creature. Meanwhile the commander took her shotgun while getting close to the armored monster firung her weapon at point-blank range.

Manhattan - New York

Gaige could see that the blue haired woman hesitated on her answer, but due to the whol bank event, she left it away. Then she heard about having the favor in return "It is fine, I'm used to doing side-quests in my world, seriously, there was this psycho who wanted me to shoot his face, what was his name.. Shooty maxploody? forget about it, unless dog-boy
and his talking sword don't mind that wound I'm ok with anything
