After the flash Dust quickly uncovered his eyes and jumped down, running to the hostages swiftly and quietly he weaved in and around the men bankrobbers as he reached the hostages.


When he reached them one of the hostages was about to speak but Dust gestured for them not to speak. He then stood up as he quickly began helping as much of the hostages out safely through an air vent.

"All of you must be quiet, just continue through the vents until you make it out safely. I will be following close behind." Dist whispered to the hostages as he quietly makes his way to one of the bankrobbers in an attempt to take out a few of them.

"Go ahead, kill us all. We'll just be back later. You destroy the city, another will take it's place. This is our own personal hell. You'd just be trying a failed prison break." The Pit Boss said. "I hate my job, by the way."

"It's like i'm psychic." Koishi chuckled in response. "Grab another weapon if you want. Or not. Doesn't matter."

Glaive stared at Jack and only at Jack, with an unblinking stare Glaive spoke.

"There are more reasons than you think. Never assume the obvious, always keep your mind open. For in this world there are many things the mind does not see until it is revealed. Something you have yet to learn I see, after all my challenge is not just the real reason as to why I brought you here Jack." Glaive said as he snapped his fingers, the setting began to change to that of a ruined temple in the middle of some strange forest. In the distance above the trees one can see an even larger tree, one as large as a skyscraper, and on top of it a glowing blue light.

"Welcome to the world of Elrios... or well just a copy of it. Here we are in a replica of the Forest Ruins just outside of the Tree of El. Here you will be fighting three opponents until you reach the top. Each one getting stronger than the last. You also do not need to fret about killing anyone. These are just physical, soulless copies of the originals that I have created. As such when sufficient damage will be dealt they will disappear, like a computer program. You won't be killing, more like 'deleting' copies of data. Now your first opponent shall be..." Glaive said as a small blue ring appeared above his head, inside the ring are the character portraits of many different characters from many different video games.


It was like a wheel of fortune, and on it was Renamon, a man with a mechanical arm... Raven, John, Yuuka, and a few other characters from various other games. One the 'wheel' landed on was some sort of strange robot.

"Hmm... I see... It appears that your opponent will be the robot known as Wally No. 8 from the world of Elrios. Kukuku... such an interesting first opponent. Surely you shall be able to defeat it." Glaive said as he disappeared from sight.


"The challenge shall begin... as of now!" Glaive's voice echoed as the large robot from the glowing blue ring had materialized in mid-air, landing almost immediately.

The robot sat there on the ground, even in a hunched over position it stood quite tall, at about 16 ft, the robot weighed at about 12 metric tons, and built with unknown durable titanium alloys made it look like it could take on just about anything. After about what felt like a minute the robots single red eye lit up as it stared at Jack and Nera.


"Target Acquired. Initiating Defense Protocols" The robot spoke in an obvious robotic voice before firing a few dozen homing rockets at Jack and Nera, each rocket traveling at a fast speed, but nowhere near impossible to outrun or outmaneuver.

Carefully evading the rockets, Nera looked at the robot for any weakpoint, it still had yet to show physical atracks so she went for a frontal assault.

Charging an aura sphere while running, the lucario threw the attack to its eye and made a dash to move away of his right side

As the group ran towards the the other side, they meet the wall of Nobodies that was around the outer circle, hindering their progress. As John sliced at the nobodies he encountered, he did slice some of them, but many of them got away because of their speed. Mara's ice magic did help out a ton tough as it made the nobodies slower, which hindered them a lot.

Betwixt and Between (Corridor of Darkness)

John could see that his swords were doing little to get completely through the Nobodies, but he had an idea. Instead of slicing through each one, one at a time, he would blow them away. At the very least, it would force the Nobodies to scatter.

"Guys, stand back!", John shouted as he pulled out his "Punt Gun", aimed it into the wall of Nobodies, and fired.

Just then, the 2-gauge shell erupted from the gun, spreading buckshot out in front of John like a wall. As soon as the wall of lead pellets erupted from the barrel, John sprinted into the Nobodies as he quickly reloaded his Punt Gun and readied another shot.

After the Pit Boss spoke, Takoizu placed her hand over her face and sighed. It was clear that neither one of them wanted to be here, so she decided to try and negotiate with the Pit Boss.

"It's clear that neither one of us wants to be here, so why not put up a show? What if we only beat you up. You tried to stop us, but you weren't strong enough. Do you see where I'm going with this. At the very least, it should make your job easier.", Takoizu said to the Pit Boss.

"Hmm. Maybe you are.", Isaac remarked with a smile.

"It's okay that I have this one. I can probably use the parts I have at home to build a modified Plasma Saw.", Isaac added as he stored the Clear Cutter on his back and looked around.

"Okay. We know that Malthael is more durable than most, so we're going to need a very powerful weapon. Does this place have anything that might hurt him?", Isaac asked Koishi.

"Alright then. Lay back, and we'll begin the procedure.", the SPARTAN doctor calmly said to Volgin as he walked over to the side of the hospital bed and waited for Volgin to lay down.

Jack could see that Aisha's sanity rested on this one question, so he decided to answer it in a somewhat nicer tone than before, albeit in a very similar tone as before.

"Yes. Even if he died, we could pretty easily resurrect him, just as long as his brain isn't destroyed or damaged.", Jack calmly said to both Eve and Aisha.

Ignoring the spartanīs bravado, Mara flew close to him while using both ice beams and shadow balls to keep the closest nobodies away from him "I have an idea, but I need to charge my energy to do it, can you cover me?" she asked John while pushing a nobody with the dark ball

The froslass jus in case was already focusing on that attack as her attacks lost some of their power, but kept either damaging or stopping the horde

Koishi grinned. "I think I may have one or two things."

She merrily skipped over to the opposite wall, and flipped a switch. The gun wall on Koishi's side flipped over, revealing an assortment of heavy weapons. Koishi went up to the the, and hoisted up a weapon half the size of her, though she lifted it with relative ease, due to her youkai strength.

"This is the SBC Cannon. Fires armor piercing, uranium filled cannonballs that can simply plow through enemy lines. It's meant to be on a turret, but..." Koishi said, holding the thing up with one hand.

"You defeat me, the Tortodromes show up. You fake it, they still show up." The Pit Boss replied, sipping more coffee.

Led by Dust, the first hostage to the left was safely escorted out of the bank. I meanwhile took the hostages out to the front of the entrance , where SWAT teams and emergency paramedics squads took them. The criminals were still staggering, and I thought they were all done for, until...

"Boss! I got em!"

I turned out to find a particularly scrawny criminal hanging on the metal foundation on the ceiling of the building, peering through a hole probably made artificially. He had a long gun called sniper rifle aimed at me, and he looked as if he was about to fire. I took the remains of the psychic power to try and reflect the bullet that was coming my way, but it seems it is too late-

A few minutes have passed. Byakuren's room was filled with smoke from the burning of incense. At the center of it lay Bang with his scars mostly cured... not that he could see the cured scars since the bandages were still covering them. Next to him lay Byakuren, sleeping with a simple, olive-colored robe and her Sutra Scroll on her hands. The scroll was glowing with subtle rainbow colors, brimming with divine energy. The door was shut closed and locked, prohibiting anyone from entering.

"Well there used to be a barrier around Gensokyo that prevent anyone but Yukari to pass through. But, four months ago, a war happened. This gigantic army led by some fallen angel broke through the barrier by some unknown method and tried to enslave Gensokyo and all its' residents. After that war was over, Yukari thought it was good idea to let the barrier stand as it is now. Now, Youkais and humans can freely come and go."

"Let's go, then. I hope they don't mind if I just leave my truck here for now." Eirin said and left the truck. The night air was cold, and Eirin tried closing her jacket to no success. "Damn, I really need my arm back. I wonder if the Kappas can make me an artificial arm... I heard it is possible now."

"Araa~ tonight is a tough night."

Koakuma, Patchouli's demon servant and secretly her foster sister in the past, lamented her business as she carried a large stack of tissues. Patchouli has fallen asleep on the desk as usual and broke a mercury apothecary set, spilling possibly deadly concoction on the ground. Koakuma can clean them with normal tissues unlike other magicians due to her demonic nature nullifying the poison in the spilled potion.

While she walked back to Voile Library, she noticed a pink figure moving about in the halls. Intrigued greatly due to her curious nature, she began following the little pink figure, the tissue still at hand.

Max turned to Eirin and nodded as he was about to walk into the Kappa Village, but he stopped as Eirin began to have trouble with closing her jacket. "Hey uh... do you need any help? You know I'm a bit of a mechanic myself, so I could probably whip something up that might be able to help you ya know." Max said as he took out his wrench from his belt, tossing it into the air before catching it by the handle. "I mean I really would be happy to help as much as possible especially after what you did for me."

"In the case that Elsword succumbs to his injuries, and becomes unable to be revived through conventional science then we could easily revive him with a Resurrection Stone. The only problem with that though is finding one in this realm." Eve replied as she walked back over to Jack.

At what they both said Aisha calmed down quite a bit, her face is no longer red and tears weren't filling her face. "Oh... well okay then..." She said as she put her hands behind her back, all the while tapping her foot against the floor. "Uh... mind... mind taking me to see him...?"




Scarlet Devil Mansion - Gensokyo

As Kirby was roaming through the halls he felt like someone or something was watching him, and as such he turned around to look at what was following him. What he saw on the ground was a shadow on the walls that looked scary. It looked like some sort of scary demon that was coming after him. Since the shadow was the first thing Kirby saw he didn't even catch a glimpse of Kaokuma before letting out a little scream before running off.

"WAAAAAAAHHH!!!" Kirby cried out as he ran down the hallway, his cry echoed throughout the halls.

((Okay since I still have Krieg since well... I introduced him a long time ago it is about time I posted for him.))
Santa Cruz - California | Night

Down on the streets below Krieg was killing wave after wave of the undead with his buzz-axe in a crazed frenzy.

"STRIP THE FLESH AND BURN IT UP! I AM THE HARBINGER OF DEATH AND DESTRUCTION, AND I AM HUNGRY FOR BLOOD PIE TRAINS!!!" He yelled in a psychotic frenzy as he kept slaughtering the undead with his melee weapon of choice while running down the streets, heading towards Dante, Komachi, and Jubei.

As the Aura Sphere impacted Wally No. 8 directly in the eye it created a large blue explosion. However from that explosion the robot's single red eye flashed revealing that it was in tact. A split second later a yellow beam quickly emerges from the smoke as it began to sweep across the ground towards Nera, focusing all attention onto the more serious threat it detects currently, which is Nera who is actually fighting back.

Just before the bullet was about to hit Sana, Dust dropped down from the ceiling to block the bullet but was barely fast enough. He was able to get in front of Sana in time, but the bullet struck him clean in the left shoulder.

As the rifle shot him in the shoulder he let out a scream of pain before dropping Ahrah on the ground. "GAH! DAMMIT!!!" He cursed as he grabbed his shoulder due to the pain.



Myouren Temple - Gensokyo

The room was quiet, and the incsence that filled the room was both strong and calming.

After most of his wounds and scars were healed Bang's eyes shot open as he woke up in a cold sweat. As he woke up he sat up straight while holding his forehead, almost like he woke up with a bad headache. "Dear god... how long have I been out...?" Bang asked himself as he looked around the room... He was still in Byakuren's room. At first he let out a sigh of relief after detecting that his wounds were mostly cured, however that sigh turned into a startled gasp as he noticed Byakuren sleeping next to him.

"Oh my... don't tell me that I have succumbed to the effects of alcohol, and defiled this fair young woman... But I don't remember drinking anything alcoholic..." He said not noticing the glowing Sutra Scroll in her hands. Bang then using his ninja training carefulyl got up without making a single noise, or noticeable movement. "What would the other residents of this temple think if they walked in on me and her sleeping together? The sheer thoughts of such things frighten me to no end. However if I did what I think I did then I have no choice but to take responsibility for my actions... by the way how long was I out? I could have swore I've been out for a at least a few hours..." Bang remarked as he quietly made his way to a window to look at the sky.

It was still nighttime, and the moon's possession in the sky did not change that much. "Judging by the possession of the moon, and the fact that it is still night must mean one thing... That I must really find a clock if I wish to find out how long I have been out... Curse me and my inability still be unable to tell the time by watching the night sky like my fore-fathers..."

Walking through the street, a red haired girl heard a conmotion coming from the nearby buildings and noticed that many persons were running away from what looked to be the bank of the city ("And here I thought this would be a calm day") she thought quickly grabbing the arm of a man

"Hey, what is going on over there"" she asked to the frightened man who answered "There is a robbery and they got weapons" he said with a frantic tone

Leaving her hold of the man, the red haired started running to the bank aignoring the manīs warning of it being a dangerous place for a little girl

Just as she arrived, the engineer noticed the robbers, an injured cyan fox and a blue haired woman as also one of the robbers was preparing for another shot. Not hesitating, the red haired took out her revolver and shot at the manīs weapon "Anybody have some mechros they need manced? spoke Gaige the Mechromancer with one of her iconic words as the robber lost his damaged weapon

As the robot attacked, Jack used his Near-Teleportation ability to quickly appear behind the robot. He had one foot n the air for some reason, but there was something small and cylindrical in that foot. He gave a strong kick to the inside of the robot's knee (or the robotic equivlent of a K.N.E.E.). The robot might not have noticed, but the cylindrical item was lodged into the robot now.

Not allowing the robot to focus on the knee, he jumped onto the head and started slashing at its head.

"Attack now to keep the robot distracted!! I lodged something into it, but it still needs time to ready before activation!!" He yelled to Nera. Just what is 'it?'

"No- wait-" Koakuma tried to stop the little pink creature from running away from her, but Kirby was already gone, running off the hallway. A crying creature of unknown species running around the mansion, bawling at such high pitch? Not only will Patchouli scold her for not doing anything about it, but the mistress...

"Wait, please! Don't run away!"

The fox was shot.

There's no time to waste.

I leaped over and caught Dust before he could fall over. The bullet seems to have struck his shoulder and lodged there. It will be healed completely once I used my Heal Pulse... but then I realized that if I used Heal Pulse to cover his shoulder wound and recover him to his usual state, the bullet will stay in his shoulder forever and inhibit his movement. Which means that someone with knowledge of real medicine is needed around...

"Anybody have some mechros they need manced?"

I looked over to find a ginger girl with a pigtail on each side. She didn't seem like the doctor type, but doesn't hurt asking...

"I don't know what you mean, but I need a bullet to be dug out from his wound." I said to the girl as I dragged Dust back a little to take shelter from any counterattacks.

Aiming to the robbers, Gaige heard the blue haired woman and tilted her head to check on her and the fox "I can take it out, just let me deal with this idiots" she said grinning at the robbers

"Since Im going to play doctor, let me show you a friend of mine" her grin was obviously showing as she lifted her mechanical arm. As soon as the gesure was done, digital cubes started appearing in front of her, they cubes grouped into a big form, a bulky and big torso was the first to be shown as the cubes disappeared, two long arms with claws and on the waist instead of legs was an electrical rod making it float. A lone red eye was looking at the robbers. Deathtrap was summoned

Gaige looked at the robbers and pointed her arm at them "DT, Get 'em, boy!" she said walking back towards the blue haired woman and the injured fox. Deathtrap on the other hand floated towards the robbers

The mechromancer kneeled next to the blue haired woman, she looked at the wound "Hm.. we will have to take it out with our hands" she said as if it was nothing. She then looked at the fox "This will hurt you a lot fox guy, better hold onto something" she took her hammer and gave it to him "Try biting the handle just in case"

The ginger looked back at the blue haired woman "Ready for this?" she asked her.
