Chronology: Ultimate

"Oh, what could those coordinates be...Come on, Megumin, you can do this..." Megumin sauntered, struggling to conjure up the bravery to just...push the button. She knew there was no fighting it anymore. Just go ahead and chain her down, Ganondorf. Or lop her head off. Whatever. Poor Ruby...such a forgiving soul was she. They'd thrown themselves into her troubles without a plan, and just look what happened.

"Lassie!" Lucky called, running to and fro. There were precious seconds on the clock. "Lassie, come on! We've all taken a major 'L' and, frankly, I want to kill meself, too. But we can't, goddamnit! Even I'm willing to respect someone's dyin' wish, surely you can do the same!" Thankfully, going off the fact that they were still here, Megumin had not warped herself to Ganondorf and pulled everyone with her. He doubted that she had the brains to retool the watch so she only teleported herself.

"Chomusuke?" Megumin turned around on her heel. "Chomusuke, aren't you still cuddling with everyone?"

"IT WASN'T 'CUDDLING'! I-I-IT WAS 'PERCUSSIVE COMFORTING'!" Lucky stammered, blushing somewhat under his fur. "Come on, Lass, we can talk this out...Lemme at least stall you by pretending to make a suicide pact or somethin'!" Then Penguin-the good Penguin-waddled around behind him. "I smell her! She went over this way! LASSIE!"

"No, Chomusuke, this is how it has to be!" Megumin whimpered. "I'm just no good without my spell, and now look, it's cost someone her life! We haven't a single chance against Ganondorf at this rate!"

"It's not how it has to be!" Lucky called back. "Look, if the girl we just got killed has faith in us, then we should keep our chins up, right?"

"There's no point, Lucky! We couldn't defeat someone in a bubble. We couldn't defeat Toga. When we found Cobblepot, Ganondorf literally had to come in and do the job for us..."

"There's still time, Lassie! We can turn this around!" The little red hare kept checking every door and window. This was frightening enough BEFORE he remembered that they were on a floating island.

  • The good news was that Arthur had, in fact, gotten Cobblepot's attention. The bad news was the four Twilight Orbs coming right at him... until it changed to even worse news, when the little girl Ruby smashed into him, shoving him out of the way of the impending blast.

    "NO!" He shouted, though it was too late. The explosion knocked him flat on his ass, and the aftermath... well, he'd seen Twilight first hand. He couldn't do anything but stare in horror as Ruby dropped near-dead upon being hit.

    Kassandra wasn't any better; though her foe blocked her last fatal blow and tried to knock her back, she lifted her Spear arm up to absorb the impact, though it didn't stop her from sliding backwards a few meters and ending up with a slight dent in her armored forearm. Only Morgan's shout took her off guard, glancing over to witness the explosive blast that knocked her down, too.

    Even when everyone kept fighting, and everything seemed lost, the two stared at Ruby's body; horrified for two different reasons. Morgan... well, to say he was reliving his horrors in the Tesseract Incident was an understatement. And the Eagle Bearer was taken aback to the plague-struck Athens, where she- the demigoddess- had been too late, too useless, to save Phoibe, the girl she could call a little sister or even a daughter.

    Thankfully, despite the hopeless situation, the true enemy Ganondorf came along to strip Cobblepot of his powers before the king took a single bullet to the brain. But the damage was certainly done; Ruby wasn't getting back up, not now or not ever.

    ​


    "You... oh, you silly fool... why did you do that???" Arthur quietly asked Ruby off to the side, uttering the same words he did to another fatal savior, Eagle Flies. He shut his own trap, though, letting Ruby have her last moments before she passed away from her fatal wounds. He wasn't one for religion, but... he hoped she found peace, whatever happened to her after this. He started to walk off a few feet away, though only Blake stopped him. She was so horribly injured and in a mess that... well, he couldn't just leave her alone.

    If she was aware of her surroundings, the bawling Faunus would notice Arthur standing a foot away, for once unsure of what he was supposed to do. Only after a few seconds did he kneel down on her level, reaching into his satchel to pull out a Health Cure yet again and offer it to the girl.

    "We gotta stay strong..." He muttered, though whether this was to the cat-girl or to himself was uncertain.

    The ancient Greek, meanwhile, remained completely silent through the scene, though she took her helmet off and looked down to avoid the scene itself. Only when all was said and done did Kassandra take a few steps toward Ruby's body.

    "Earth... mother of all, I greet you." She murmured, hoping Gaia- or whatever god or goddess governed this world- would welcome the little girl with open arms. But now the empty, cold and sorrowful feelings within her slowly but surely became washed over by... anger. Rage. She turned away from Ruby to face Cobblepot's corpse, her fists balling up as she slowly walked up to the cadaver to stare down at it with a disgusted look in her brown eyes. When she looked back up at Jason, her eyes radiated that same disgust as she shook her head.

    "You gave him too swift of a death." Her voice was as cold as Cobblepot's had been to the group as she uttered those words. And without any warning at all, she took her Dagger and Spear, knelt down to his corpse, and began rapidly slicing and dicing the body, each slash getting an equally-hateful shout to match the Penguin's vitriol directed at the group. A few seconds later and Cobblepot's corpse had been reduced to a pulp, the same blood-red staining her armor and Kassandra's face. Without skipping a beat, she took her Spear to Cobblepot's neck, as she should've done, decapitating the "ruler" and snatching the head, lifting it up to her eye level before standing up with a scowl on her face.

    "You don't deserve a honorable nor memorable burial, you piece of fucking shit." And with that, she carried Cobblepot's head to a window before using one of her fists to smash it open, screaming as she hurled Cobblepot's head out it with all her strength.

    Whether anyone wanted to reprimand the Eagle Bearer for her actions, though, was up to them. All she knew was that if Cobblepot had escaped the painful suffering he deserved in life, he sure as Hades deserved to be reduced to a mangled pile of nothingness in death.

...nothing.​

Nothing could be said by her, she couldn't bring herself to respond to Lilith or to thank the rabbit for the cuddles. All she wanted to do was to lay as a broken mess on the floor, mourning her friend. Looking slightly up, she saw that Arthur had come to offer her something that looked like a bottle.​

Taking it, she drank it and after drinking it, she felt the injuries from kicks she had received from Cobblepot start going away, however the broken collarbone would most likely stay. It gave her the ability to get up and stay up, but... she couldn't bring herself to. All Blake wished to do... was lay there and mourn.​

That was... until she had seen Kassandra turn Cobblepot's corpse into something unrecognizable and took his head. If she looked at it enough, it could resemble the dead man himself.​

And this is where stage two of the five stages of grief came in: anger.​

"...Let go of me... I-I have something... I need to do..." Getting up, she grabbed her weapons and slowly went over there, not listening to anyone stopping her as her hearing went deaf, only hearing ringing that came from the mass amounts of anger she was feeling. Upon reaching the pile, she gripped her sword and the sheath in anger. No, this wasn't just anger...​

This was rage. This was pure, unsaturated rage.​

Through her tears and sadness, the amount of fury and rage that came from her when looking at the pile and seeing it once being Cobblepot was unbridled. Once that image popped into her head... she started angrily hitting it over and over, hacking away at this.​

Cobblepot had done so much to Arthur, to the survivors of the Tesseract Incident, to her... Blake had wanted to go after Cobblepot and make him pay ever since what happened with Sub-Zero, but she was unable to land the final blow herself.​

This was a good alternative.​

The cat faunus just kept slicing at the pile, hitting it over and over, not stopping. And it didn't look like she would stop anytime soon.​

 
"Oh. Okay. That's better than last time I was rebooted... Sssso who do I need to apologize to then? It's no good for a tribe to leave hostilities." Lealan pushes herself onto her feet, unsteady from the damage taken via friendly fire.

It was certainly the appearance of Ganondorf that may have broken the limits on some of us. Initial appearances, he was without question someone that sees the lot of them as...for a lack of a better word, "insects". He was certainly not in any position at this point to even be concerned over the remaining group members...

What is there to say? The man himself was killed, stripped of his powers, shot instantly and reduced to nothing more than a pile of flesh on the ground. Everyone was grieving over the loss of the girl in red, some screened into the confines of their mind, others took it out on each other, some remained silent, and some simply left the room.

Like Megumin for exsample.

Sage has already been encapsulated and is being watched over at the time and Lealan jade was removed without issues. So Orbeck heads out to look for the foolish archwizard.

This was what she was compensating? giving in? Via the watches none the less?
"Last we where told, those watches can't be used individually...It's not your fault Megumin. Not during the fight with that insane man, and especially not with Toga."

Lilith let's go of Bake as she requested. "What do you mean?" She asks in a soft saddened tone, Blake took out one of her weapons and walked over to the dead body of Cobblepot before stabbing it repeatedly, it didn't seem like she was stopping any time soon. Lilith was a little shocked but thought that it would be best not to peruse her any further before leaving her to stab the dead body over and over.

After a bit, he exited the room the the stairway, only to see Megumin fall down it and land, with some red coming out of her body. Sighing, as he went down to help the fallen Megumin, as he began to slowly take out his ToolGun l, staring at the screen before he using it to spawn in a med kit. He then began using it on Megumin, as it slowly healed her wounds in her body. He sighed once more, as he already broken his vow to not use his ToolGun, but it was for a good cause. He quickly turned off the ToolGun again, and waited for Megumin to get back up, or he had to start carrying her like a sack of potatoes until she wakes up.

"Lassie?" Oh fuck, shit, how was she this hard to find?! This was a perfectly square building! Wait, there she was! Right there, at the top of the stairwell, unharmed...well, okay, gravely harmed, but not dead. Happy ending, right?

Well, thanks to the friction, Lucky's bandages ended up becoming undone, and it wasn't long before he ended up tripping on himself, losing his grip on the staff. "AH, FUCK!"

The "ah, fuck" feeling intensified when it crashed into Megumin, sending her down the stairs with a loud yelp. Next thing everyone knew, they most likely heard a cluster of loud thumps all the way down to the original floor. When the crash ended, poor Megumin laid on her belly, her staff going in for one last hit on the back of her already bumped and bruised head. There was now a sizeable gash across the top of her scalp, which added to the already growing puddle of blood brought on by the exploding bullet wounds. Her only sign of life was a weak groan.

That didn't happen. That didn't happen. That did. Not. Just. Happen.

"Oh...oh, shit..." Lucky trembled, biting his lower lip. Not again, not immediately after Ruby's death! Were all the people wearing red destined to die now?! WHAT WAS THIS, STAR TREK?! After fixing his bandages, Lucky practically tumbled down the stairs himself to meet her. "Megumin? Lassie? Oh, fuck, Jason's gonna destroy me..." He rolled her over, looking directly into her eyes. "Lassie!? How many tails do I have?!"

"T...two..." Megumin's eyes were misaligned, the bridge of her nose bruised and bleeding. Her jaw felt loose...then again, so did something inside her brain. On the bright side, it did feel like something supposed to be loose. Yet she couldn't tell if she stayed all dizzy, could she? Good thing Benrey was there to help her back into full consciousness. "...No, wait, you only have one." She sighed gruffly, struggling to get up again.

After taking several breaths of relief, Lucky repeated his question. "Lassie, are you gonna be all right?"

"Just fine, Chomusuke..." Megumin stumbled onwards, rubbing her poor head. The fall had shaken up flammable liquid in her gut, and a spark lit. There was now a glowing, hot sensation inside, creeping up to her head. "I mean...we've been beaten by the bad guys three times in a row, Ganondorf knows where we are, we're going to have to tell the town down there that not only did we fail to kill their oppressor, but the leader of their most important force died in the process, and ALL of that means NO ICE CREAM!" Lucky was cowering, trembling even. Somehow, Megumin had stolen the volume out of his voice and applied it to her own, and it echoed like a thunderstorm directly over his head. "We're literally ALL the multiverse has left, and we can only win in a DREAM WORLD! I want to help my poor mentors so goddamn much, let alone my poor friends and family who are no doubt up in arms about what happened to me, but the only means of attack I am REMOTELY familiar with was stripped away from me due to...to UTTER BULLSHIT!" In a rage foreign to even herself, she kicked down the door, and stood in the lawn, or deck, whatever it was outside the academy. "It's all a hopeless battle where we either be killed by Ganondorf, or watch as Ganondorf kills all our friends and family with Twilight, and THEN us! And now poor Ruby is paying the price for our collective weakness and overconfidence! But don't fret a bit, Chomusuke!" The orb in her staff began to sparkle in all different colors, causing Lucky to gasp. "W-woah, Lassie, your staff-" The archmage didn't listen to him, and finished her rant with a dragonlike roar:

"I'm...

...just...

...FINE!"

For some reason, Megumin felt compelled to throw her staff forward, summoning orange rings of magic way out into the distance, into (hopefully) uninhabited fields. This was something that even she, even in her anger, couldn't ignore. The flames in her eyes shrieked and retreated. "E-Explosion?!"

1593313922300.png

The blast, even all the way out there, was enormous. No way in Hell could it not have been seen or heard by anyone in the vicinity, outside or inside. After a while of just standing there, wondering if they were both experiencing a hallucination, both archmage and rabbit were knocked down by the invisible shockwave. Lucky got up, but Megumin didn't. She couldn't move a muscle.

This time, however, she knew it was normal.

The bunny asked her one more time. "Lassie, are you-"

"IT'S BACK! EXPLOSION CAME BACK!" Were it not a devourer of all her energy, Megumin would be dancing around with Lucky in her arms. "Oh, praise Eris! Praise Aqua! Praise 'em all, even Wolbach! I can't believe that this whole time, all I had to do was fall down a stairwell! Whatever was wrong with my brain, that tumble must've knocked it back into place!..." Her eyes fell slack, just then, because she could see Ruby's reds in the mushroom cloud. "...Too bad I couldn't bring it back in time to save Ruby..."

"Well, Lass, we did what we could." Lucky decided to copy her position. "I still think we took a fat 'L', but if Ruby still thinks we've got spunk in us, we must be doing something right."

"And now that I'm fixed, I'm sure we can prove her right!" Megumin chirped. "Honestly, now I'm more worried about what the town will think of us..."

"Again, they're gonna know that we did what we could." Lucky rolled his eyes, knowing what else was going to come up inevitably. "...If there's anything we're not going to hear the end of, it was Ganondorf havin' to kill him for us."

"Yeah." Megumin lamented. "I was really looking forward to that ice cream, no way are we going to get it now..."

"What's done is done. At least we saw Cobblepot dead."

"Yeah, we won on that end. Pyrrhic victory, I suppose...Chomusuke, why are you being so nice now?"

Lucky sighed out his nose. "...Well, when Ruby was cryin' over Penny, I just thought people would rather have a rabbit who considered her feelings. What with bein' called 'selfish' and all." He scooched a little closer to the archmage. "It was a silent promise. And now that Ruby's dead, and countin' on us from wherever dead people go in this world, I guess the pressure's on me to keep it."

"And I suppose I shouldn't give up trying to learn new things, for that exact reason." Megumin decided. "Ruby's counting on our gifts and talents. She clearly meant it in terms of plurals."

"Good idea, considering that you're definitely not going to beat Ganondorf with a spell that makes you faint, Lassie."

"Bill begs to differ, Chomusuke, so hush."

"Nothing I can't heal later, my legs are fine, so I can escape if things go south." Lealan waves Snakes concern off, while her left arm twitches, and then hangs limply. "Anybody else?" The Floran's gaze snaps out to the distance, seeing the massive explosion. "If that was Megumin, I'll give her props for not trying to do it at point blank range this time."

Orbeck's search for the archwizard would reveal, the girl herself, injured and disgruntled by the various events that occurred. Injuries sustained from her tumble down the stairs. That man, Benrey was also there treating her wounds. He prompted followed the stumbling archwizard as she speaks her frustrations, enraged over her own inability to use what she knows best. Getting even the rabbit to cower in her rage. then...

Unexpectedly, Megumin was somehow able to retain the use of her beloved spell. He was able to come down to where ever she was, witnessing once again the awe-inspiring power of that single spell...and its knockback as he tumbled to the floor. Again, this dwarfs anything that Orbeck is even capable of. And it came back, because a of an accident on some stairs. AN accident on some STAIRS. Was the very universe itself messing with his limited expectations on how things normally work? Like with Lobo, or BIll, or even now?

getting back up, Orbeck makes his way to the Archwizard and the rabbit. celebrating somewhat on the return of her spell.

going through his pockets he would take out a bottle, a small one. Filled with a clear liquid.

Lealan nods. Then tries to push herself up to her feet, only to find her arms are useless. "Huh. Uh oh." She rocks back and rolls backwards, until she plants her feet on the ground and unfolds herself into a standing position. She then looks over herself and frowns, seeing the seared lines in her top from the Twilight's scouring of the Jade. "Why is it my clothes are the ones getting ruined, and y'all don't have that problem? I'll need replacements or repair soon." Lealan looks among the group to see how far their recoveries have come.

As Kassandra walked over to Penguin's dead body and essentially destroyed what little there was left of it, he merely hung his head low, facing the direction of the lifeless Ruby Rose, who still had Yang crying into the side of her neck, along with Weiss, who was crying into her shoulder. Qrow even lowered his head as he silently cried as well, though his tears were much more reserved. You could tell that the man was crying regardless, though. Nora buried her face into Ren's shoulder and cried while Ren supported her with his arm, holding back his own tears for Nora's sake. Oscar, who none of you had talked to at all or even met, was crying as well, as was Jaune. All this pain and sadness made Jason lower his head, trying to avoid his gaze alongside Leo, who was standing next to him. Byakuya remained in the back of the room, standing silently by the window as Kassandra tossed Cobblepot's head out of it. The boy, although he didn't say much of anything at all, did speak up when Kassandra threw his head out the window.

"Good riddance." And after that, he fell silent again, staring into the night sky. Ant-Man and Spider-Man both remained silent as they paid their respects to Ruby by lowering their heads. Sarge was holding a salute for the fallen girl, and Grif just kinda stood there, unsure of what to say. Even Micah knew to shut his mouth this time, as he stood off in the corner with his arms crossed. However, out of Jason's eye, he noticed Blake stand up. It was one thing for Kassandra, who was a hardened warrior through and through, to do what she did. But in Jason's eyes, Blake was still a kid. And that kind of rage, from personal experience, can potentially fuck a kid up royally later on. So, as she hacked and slashed away at his body, she would suddenly find herself forcefully pulled off of him by Jason, who had a hand on her shoulder.

tumblr_inline_n9mdvyZzwB1s81zze.png


"I know you're angry. But this won't bring her back." Jason said quietly in an understanding tone of voice. "I've been where you are, hell I'm from a universe where that douchebag is still running around," He gestured downwards towards what remained of Penguin's body. "But if you start down this path of darkness and anger now, there's no turning back from it." With that, Jason walked away from her, leaving Blake to her own devices. It happened to be pretty good timing too, because as soon as he began walking away, he heard a loud crashing noise come from downstairs. "Jesus Christ... what now??" He huffed loudly, before breaking out into a sprint and booking it to the stairs. As he leaned over the railing, he saw what appeared to be Benrey healing Megumin after a nasty fall down the staircase. He merely watched from the side in silence, before watching Megumin slowly come to a stand. Within seconds, the archwizard was back to her usual upbeat self, because apparently, her only spell had finally returned to her.

And to be honest, even despite all that had happened, that was enough to make Jason smile behind his helmet. If only a little.


Enough time had passed for you all to properly mourn and gather your bearings. Qrow, Jaune, Weiss, Yang, Oscar, Nora, and Ren had taken Ruby's body out of Atlas Academy and back to Ruby's father. According to Qrow, Ruby had once stated that she wanted to be buried next to her mother, so they were doing that. This left the rest of you outside of Atlas Academy, with Jason standing in the center, leaning against a pillar as he tried to find the right words to give you all.

tumblr_inline_n9mdyj1uTq1s81zze.png


"Okay..." He let out a sigh as he stared down at the icy ground for a long moment, before pushing himself off the pillar and looking back at you. "I know that you're all shaken up by the loss of Ruby. And believe me, I am too. But... we've gotta keep pushing. That little girl, whether you want to admit it or not, believed in each and every one of you. She knows we can all succeed in taking down Ganondorf. Things may look shitty right now... and they are, but we have to run through that shit if we wanna save everyone else from suffering the same fate as her." As Jason spoke, his gaze shifted between each and every one of you from behind his emotionless helmet. "We've gotta keep pushing. If not for the Multiverse, then at least do it for her." After that, he turned to face Sarge and Grif, who were standing off to the side. "What are you two gonna do?"

"Well, in my eyes..." Sarge replied as he pumped yet another shotgun in his arms. Where he'd gotten it after Sage burned through the last two was unknown. "That girl wore red, and she was a fellow soldier to the end. Grif and I promised to protect this place when we signed up, and the way I see it, that don't change because the guy we were working for turned out to be some kinda... magical maniacal terrorist." He turned his head to look at Grif, before looking back at Jason. "You boys are needed out there in the Multiverse. We're needed here. But..."

"It's been an honor serving with you all. May we meet again on the battlefield someday!" Sarge exclaimed as he saluted towards each and every one of you with one arm, before going back into a regular position, and walking off into the distance alongside Grif. With that outro done, Jason looked over at Ant-Man and Spider-Man.

"What about you two?" He asked.

"I think I'd better stay here, too. I was already helping those guys out in Atlas before, and with Ruby gone... well, I have all the more reason to stay here and be a Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man." Peter would reply, while Ant-Man would pause.

"Uhhh.... yeah, and Rick's kinda my only way outta here, and he's still working on Penny, sooooo..." His voice trailed off as he awkwardly stared at the ground. Jason merely chuckled and nodded in response, before turning to face the main group at hand.

"Alright, well..." Jason held up his watch and began inputting the next coordinates. "Guess we're off, then." He said matter-of-factly, though before he could begin reading them out, you all heard a familiar feminine voice call out in the background.

"WAAAAIIIIIT!!!"

AbsoluteIdolizedCommabutterfly-size_restricted.gif


As you looked up in the background, you all found none other than Yang Xiao Long and Weiss Schnee on a yellow and black motorcycle, speeding towards all of you. The motorcycle got almost too close to running over somebody, before it swerved and skid to a stop, just before Yang ran over Lucky. The blonde took off her helmet as Weiss stepped off of it, determined looks on both of their faces. "W-what are you two--" Jason stammered out, only to be cut off by Weiss.

"We've decided we're coming with you." The former Schnee Heiress sad matter-of-factly as both her and Yang stood beside Blake.

"It's what Ruby would want us to do," Yang said, managing a small smile as both her and Weiss took each of Blake's hands into their own. "And no, we're not taking no for an answer." She added on. Jason, who was speechless for a minute or so, eventually reached into the pocket of his jacket and pulled out two communicators and two watches, one for each of them.

"You two are lucky I had spares." He commented in a slightly annoyed tone, though he was more happy about them coming along than it seemed. Yang and Weiss both attached them to the watches to their wrists and pocketed the communicators, as Jason gave a brief explanation as to what they were for. "The watches are what we're gonna use for multiversal travel. When we're all ready to travel to the next universe, we sync them up by putting in a string of coordinates, which will then allow us to traverse to the next universe. The communicators are exactly what it sounds like they'll be needed for-- communicating." Yang and Weiss nodded in response as Jason turned back to face the group. With that, he read out the next coordinates, and once you all input them, the familiar black smoke finally enveloped you once more, dragging the group to their next destination.


Chapter Three
“Long Way’s Home”



As soon as you re-emerged from the familiar encompassing black smoke, the first thing you would realize was that you were, for once, not outside.

No, instead of landing in the calming mountain town of Gravity Falls, or the rundown dumps of Remnant, you appeared to be in… a restaurant of some sort? It looked pretty nice, too. The carpets beneath your feet were well vacuumed, and there wasn’t a dirty dish or rambunctious patron in sight! A calming melody played over the speakers of wherever you were, putting you at ease.

“Okay… this is…” Jason took a long pause as he glanced around. “Oddly calming…” He began to walk around, before he noticed the windows. Outside was a long stretch of green hills and soothing landmarks, but what probably piqued your interest was the fact that everything seemed to be moving. It was almost as if you were on a vehicle of some sort. As you dwelled on the matter, the nearby door to another train cart suddenly slid open, revealing two individuals.

The first of which was a tiny little blue penguin that had a magnifying glass, a red bowtie, a satchel, and a cute little detective hat! “I say, Bartholomew, we are one step closer to solving this chthonic caper with every passing second!” The penguin exclaimed to the other male who was with him, one some of you might recognize…

A tall, bearded man with a red scarf around his neck and a boonie hat atop his head. His body armor was adorned with his flag, and his equipment was that of a modern soldier, relatively speaking. His eyes shut in frustration as the penguin spoke. “My name’s not- nevermind. Maybe if we start finding some leads, detective, we can get even closer.”

“Nonsense, Bartholomew!” The penguin laughed. “We have already found a surplus of leads on our own!” He chuckled again, before bonking the soldier on his boonie clad head with the magnifying glass in his flipper. After doing so, the penguin would turn around, noticing the group. Its brows furrowed slightly. “Oh… did the train pick up new passengers? I don’t recall making another stop… unless…” The penguin cupped its flipper under its beak in thought for a moment, before raising it high into the air as it came up with a sudden realization. “Of course! Bartholomew, these are our perpetrators! We caught them red handed!” He stared at Red Hood for a moment. “And red hooded, it seems!”

“Uhh…” Leo spoke up from the side, phrasing his words carefully here. “I think there’s been a misunderstanding… we just got here…”

“A likely story...” The penguin replied, letting his voice trail off for a moment, before pointing an accusing flipper at Leo. “For a KIDNAPPER!”

The soldier let out a sigh of both contempt and relief upon seeing the group there. “They’re not the perps, detective,” he shook his head, glancing down at the penguin. “They’re with us, friends of mine, and can help with the investigation.” His eyes flicked between each of you, his gaze resting momentarily on the faces of Aloy and Kassandra, to which he gave a nod. “Nice of you lot to show up,” he smiled.

“Hmm… very well…” The penguin said as he cupped his flipper under his beak once more, all while staring at each and every one of you behind narrowed eyes. “Although my suspicions still remain, if Bartholomew trusts you all, then so shall I.” He proceeded to tuck a flipper under his belly and give as much of a bow as he could with his stubby physique. “I am Pennington, though you may all call me The Penguin with the Improbably Large Brain.” He gestured to the soldier standing beside him. “And this is my unpaid intern/partner, Bartholomew.”

“Captain John Price,” he gave a sideways glance down to the penguin, before shaking his head. “Just Price works.”

As Captain Falcon exited the cart to go find the shower, he would luckily find one in the bathroom the next room over. The shower itself had... bean scented soap and mushroom scented shampoo? Well, it might as well be worth a try.

"Oh, an actual penguin," the Agent says, walking towards the detective, "I've been around impostor birds all day! Featherlees bipeds in reality, and not even the kind that Plato pulled out of a coop."

Ben walks up to the new appearances, "the name's Ben, Ben Tennyson. Looks like you're in the middle of a crime scene. We'd love to help, but could you tell us more?"

"All things considered I'd prefer that. You know, allergies and all," Ben comments before Captain Falcon rushes away.

Benrey​
After everything that had happened to them, the universe decides to kick them in the shins and launched them into a much more peaceful world, which to him, was mocking the entire situation about death that happened a few minutes ago in the other dimension. But it seems that there are still problems tho, as another person who is also part of the MPF, and some sort of Penguin are investigating a case right now. He then walked forward and extended an hand to the Penguin and said “The name is Benrey, and can you tell me more about these strange kidnappings.” as he waited for its response.

Gretar​
Well, looks like a new dimension to him, but it’s best for him to not question the..... shapes of everyone here. So he went somewhere to finally get some shuteye, because he hadn’t had sleep for a while.
