Fandom A World Apart (Massive Crossover)

[MrEgret]

Wakko idly picked up a loose bit of chain, and started twirling it. "Well, that's a bit tricky. Usually with these crossover events, there's some sort of overarching plot that we main character types have to deal with before we can go home. Since we're not in some kind 'a gladiator arena, it's probably one of those "threat to the multiverse" dealies. I don't really know; this is more the DC people's thing than mine. Like I said, I mainly entertain people, not save the world. So, at the moment, I'm just doing what comes naturally, and pretending it's a plan."


By the time Wakko finished saying this, the hallway grew to encompass a larger room. The large number of cages and poor lighting conditions hinted at the room being a dungeon of some kind.


Worryingly, not all of the cages appeared to be empty.

Robin drew his jagged sword and held it at his side. "Let's check the cages. If anyone seems to be alive, unlock the door and let them out."


At this, he began checking the inside of the cages. Most contained either nothing, or worse, corpses. Movement within one cage caught the tactician's eye, and he approached the door. "Hello? Are you alive in there?"

 

[ryanpk200]

Shepard was standing in a small cage. A moment ago he was standing in the colony Sanctuary. He was alone in the cage and had no idea how he got there.


"Ash? You copy?"


All he heard was static over the coms.


"Javik? You copy?"


More static.


"Normandy this is Shepard. Joker you copy?"


Still more static. This is getting nowhere. I should leave the cage. He walked toward the cage door and tried to push it open. It wouldn't budge. He saw a 2 strange people in front of front of him. The Commander pulled out off a block from his back and pressed a button. It unfolded into the Claymore heavy shotgun. He held the gun out and shot the door off its hinges. "Identity yourselves!" He yelled to the group.

 

[frenchbirb]

Robin held his sword up, pointing it at the newcomer. "Lower your weapon. We mean no harm."

 

[MrEgret]

Wakko held up a chicken leg, offering it to the newcomer. "You look hungry. Want a bite?"

 

[ryanpk200]

Shepard lowered his shotgun a little. "Where are we? Who are you? And where's my crew?" He asked them. Shep saw the chicken leg. "Sure why not?" He grabbed the leg and ate it. "You got any energy bars laying around?"

 

[frenchbirb]

"Energy... bars?" Robin lowered his sword and stared quizzically at the newcomer. He shook his head and sheathed his sword. "Never mind. We are in the basement of the Sultan's palace in a desert town called Agrabah. I am Robin, and this little guy is Wakko."


"I assume by your... strange weaponry that you aren't from this place." At this, he glanced at the newcomer's weapon. "Is that a form of crossbow?"

 

[MrEgret]

"Energy bars?" Wakko asked. "Let me check."


He then pulled out his Gaggy Bag, and started rifling through it, occasionally throwing out the odd knickknack, piece of junk or live chicken. "Hmm... Nope. I've got silver bars, gold bars, iron bars, crowbars, Mars Bars, minibars, dry bars, wet bars, and even Wi-fi bars, but no energy bars. Sorry."

 

[ryanpk200]

"Um Wakko? He looked down at the cartoon character. His need for food overlooked the character. "Not the weirdest thing I've seen. If you don't have any energy bars something with high amounts of calories would be nice." Shepard looked at his shotgun. "Crossbows went extinct years ago. I guess by your clothing you would be confused if I told you about guns. Sure. Let's call it a crossbow." He finished.

"Um, I do have some bear jerky, if you'd like it," Robin said as he reached into his satchel and pulled out some dried meat. "I should warn you, though, it's a rather... acquired taste. Poor Frederick can't stand this stuff." He offered the meat to the newcomer.


"Since we told you our names, would you mind telling us yours?"

 

[ryanpk200]

"My name is Commander Shepard. I'll take the bear jerky. I have some abilities that will help me handle the taste." He grabbed the jerky and ate it. The taste was unpleasant but it helped him. He knew he had enough to eat when an blue biotic aura surrounded him. "That's better." Said Shepard.

 

[frenchbirb]

Robin stared at Shepard, surprised by the blue aura. "What was that? Are you a magic-user as well, Commander?"

 

[ryanpk200]

"Where I come from its called Biotics. I need large amounts of calories do be able to use them. It's has plenty of uses in combat." said the Commander. "For example he tossed a pull at Wakko. The small disc shaped wave of dark energy picked Wakko off his feet and caused him to float around.

 

[MrEgret]

Wakko floated out of sight, and popped up behind Shepard, looking over his glowing blue aura with an almost childlike wonder. "Faboo! That's a neat party trick you've got there, Mister! Do you always light up when you eat, or does it only work with jerky?"


It was perhaps for the best that Wakko had not taken an interest in Shepard's gun.

 

[ryanpk200]

"I just hadn't eat anything in a while. As I said I need to eat a ton to use it. But this is no simple party trick." Said Shep. There was a small stack of crates in the corner of the room. "Watch this." Time slowed down around Shepard as he glowed blue. One moment he was standing next to the others. The next he was standing in the ruined pile of crates. The others would have seen something similar to a blue comet fly across the room. "Alright enough showing off. Do any of you know where we are and what were doing here?" He asked the others.

 

[frenchbirb]

"As I said, we're in the basement of the Sultan's Palace in Agrabah. As for what we're doing here... your guess is as good as mine. For the moment, I'm just following Wakko's instinct."

 

[ryanpk200]

"Agrabah? I've heard that somewhere? Isn't that a place from a Disney movie? My friend had a thing for those movies. We should try and find some other people. You want to try the stairs?" Shepard finished.

 

[MrEgret]

Wakko shrugged. "Sure, why not? I kinda need to finish refurbishing the palace hallways a bit anyways."


He held up his notepad, which contained a surprisingly detailed map of the first floor, which was dotted here and there with X's, O's and the occasional line. "Here! We can use this to navigate. I got a good look-see of the floor above us, while inspecting the place. Cause that's what people in real estate do, right? Inspect?"

 

[frenchbirb]

Robin inspected the map. "This is remarkable! Good idea, mapping out the place. But... what are these marks for?"

 

[MrEgret]

Wakko scratched his head in an embarrassed fashion. "Well, they started as placemarkers for where I need to get to work with the actual refurbishment. Then I got distracted, and it sort of evolved into a game of tic-tac-toe. Or possibly a football plan; I could never tell those apart."


As he said this, he began heading out of the dungeon, keeping an ear out for any strange noises. It was always when the party started heading back to safety that the trouble starts in those old horror movies, after all.


Not that Aladdin was a horror movie. Or at least not that Wakko remembered.

 

[frenchbirb]

Robin reached into his coat and took out an old red book with a cross design on the cover. He followed behind Wakko, keeping an eye out for danger.

 

[ryanpk200]

Shepard held up his hand and an orange hologram formed around. "I'm going to take a picture of the map. Just in case." He held his hand over the note pad and got the picture. "I'm out of my element here so I'll follow you for now." He finished.

 

[MrEgret]

While Wakko walked out in front, a thought occurred to him. "Y'know, it's kind of weird, though. If this really is Agrabah, then shouldn't we have heard something about Aladdin by now? I mean, the film's named after the guy, so you'd think that he would have turned up by now."


He suddenly brightened up. "Hey! Maybe he knows we're here and he's hiding from us! C'mon, let's go find him!"


Having made up his mind (such as it was), Wakko picked up the pace, and started heading for the stairs. After all, there was no way that he was locked up down here. He's the Prince, after all!

 

[frenchbirb]

"Wakko, wait!" Robin shouted, running to catch up with the toon. "I have a feeling that I'm not the only thing that was brought here from my world. Allow me to take the lead. It could be dangerous."

 

[ryanpk200]

Shepard ran up to the two. "If you think something form your world is here than there's the same possibility something form my world came too. That's not going to end well." Said Shepard. Shepard grabbed his Claymore off his back. He brought up his omni-tool and pressed a few buttons on it and his weapon. A red sheet holographic sheet was over the weapon and a fire symbol was on it. "I'm ready."said Shepard was they walked up the stairs and bumped into a unknown person.
