Leon saw the cowboy rise to his feet and in the same manner that he showed gratitude he just as quickly declined Leon's help. In that moment, his cop instincts surged back up to the surface "Damn it! If you're not going then neither am I! Can't let anything happen to a good Samaritan like you." Truthfully, Leon was trying to make up for his earlier internal doubt. They would make it through this. NORMAL human or not!

He turned with Arthur to face the croc again, but this time with renewed vigor. Leon took a minute to collect himself and began firing into the back of it with Arthur just hoping that his explosive rounds found a crack in his armor that Leon's rounds could exploit while trying not to hit any of the melee fighters.

"My apologies, Mister Cerf." The man replied with a small nod as his hands remained folded in his front. "Tell me, Mister Cerf... how are you feeling? Disillusioned? Any signs of nausea? Do you feel any... discomfort at all?"

Ike was hearded int a room with everyone else, not quite paying attention as he was still puzzling over his conversation with Smol Ike. He only snapped out of it when the group was confronted with so UGLY Looking reptile man. He took a few steps back to be in a better position for the coming battle, and tripped. Smacking his head and temporarily knocking himself out. thatguyinthestore

The laser from Jerome's blast had done detrimental damage to Croc, as the beast had lifted an arm to block the shot, only for a deep gash to form where the shot had connected. He hissed in pain as he quickly grabbed his arm, brandishing his sharp teeth to Jerome. "You are almost as stubborn as you will be savory!" Croc exclaimed, quickly running over to Jerome and kicking the soldier square in the chest with his giant foot.

"H-he's still not down?!" Leo shouted as Croc growled in further anger, the gash in his forearm still singing and even bubbling a bit.

Croc only growled again as the persona's sledgehammer moved to come in on his head. Somehow or another, Croc had actually managed to grab the sledgehammer by its handle before it came down onto his head, the ginormous hammer almost as light as a paperclip to him as he proceeded to hurl it towards Sub-Zero, effectively blocking the ice shards that were thrown his way as well.

It was then that Arthur fired more of those fancy explosive rounds towards him. Croc snarled as he rose non-injured arm to block the shots once more, the shots hurting him as they left marks on his arm and even caused him to bleed a bit, but it was clearly not enough. Once Croc got in close enough, he would reel his good arm back and fling it forward, effectively backhanding Arthur back a good few feet!

After dashing to safety, Hat Kid came skidding to a halt before their point of entry, sealed. Coming to the realization she should probably pay more attention to Nick-whatever's brain dumps (yet will never act upon it) Hat Kid shook her head and spun back around to face the croc. Eyes darting around the dark as the group was pushed further and further back into a corner, Hat Kid anxiously danced around the backline looking for an opening, but found none. As the cacophony grew louder and the walls closed in, Hat Kid was panicking.

N o o n e i s a r o u n d t o h e l p

But as she donned her Time Stop Hat, all her worries began to slip away.

L i f e i s h a r d , l i f e i s s t r e s s f u l

It was exactly what she needed, and what everyone always wants.

As the chaos slowed to a more manageable speed, Hat Kid took a deep breath. With a level head, her senses returned, and she was finally able to analyze the situation on her own time. Taking a running start, Hat Kid effortlessly leaped above the horizontal hail of bullets, and dove right over Killer Croc's head to launch off the sledgehammer he had flung at Sub-Zero. Sticking the landing beside the Lin Kuei warrior, Hat Kid stood in front of the sledgehammer with a smug grin on her face as the flow of time returned to normal, and the hammer fell before her feet with a resounding thud. Chortling, she whipped out her umbrella and blasted Killer Croc in the back while he flailed around in retaliation.

Running a hand through her hair she sighs slightly, this was getting ridiculous. "I wished to only have to draw one line, it appears through several more will be needed otherwise the sun rises in the west before it's over" slowly strolling past through the conflict or what remained of it to an item that appeared to have caught her eye. Carrying on her direction to the far end through the fluids the remains of the bodies of the fallen and debris pushed aside before something catches her eye within the water and stopping, reaching to pull out a long sword still being clutched by a hand through the gesture of her thumb has the fingers falling away leaving it free. Starting to walk again as she looks over the item wiping down its surface and looking over its shine as she returns to the line from before giving little mind to the creature.

"This world...is far too fragile, though it does allow me to better understand the reasoning of that facet of my being...perhaps I may as well at least try and make some interest out of this though in the coming conflicts" Strolling back to hold the line as before.

Yuma
Yuma kept running not really listening to Soma. She got to the back of the group before she stopped running.
“Sorry I just wanted to make sure everyone was safe...”
She looked back over at the fight and saw Leon still fighting. She wanted to go get him too, but knowing him he would probably just get straight back in the fight. Plus she didn’t want to get in trouble.

TANDEM, THE ITALIAN SWINDLER
View attachment 577873
Tandem eventually took action to help the team because he does not like feeling useless! Pulling out one of his Yo-Yo's, The Italian Swindler used the Yo-Yo to grab Parappa by the waist and pull him out of danger because he was sure as hell that the chunk of the wall is going to kill him if he gets hit by it. His body doesn't look tough enough to survive that attack so he decided to intervene the battle, a bit annoyed by the rapping dog's carelessness, Tandem is a bit careless too but Parappa is on a whole other level. Once Parappa was pulled back to Tandem. The Italian Swindler kneeled down to Parappa's size and gave him an annoyed look.

"Don't just attack all willy nilly, pal." He said, shaking his head. "You almost got yourself killed!"​

Having gracefully flown through the air most of the way back to the group, PaRappa hadn't noticed the chunk of debris headed his way, which made it all the more surprising when he was yanked off course and watched as the piece of masonry and mortar flew through the air "Jeez. Thanks Yo-Yo Dude" he says, smiling slightly as he turns back to Killer Croc "I've never had to fight someone like this without some kind of special weapon laying around..."

The paper thin dog glances around and sighs "No such luck this time it seems" he frowns as he starts to feel like his weapons might not be the most effective here, even using his super attacks didn't seem to do much about this guy. He was serious business.

How were they going to stop him? "I know...We gotta believe!"

With that, he took out his boombox, plugged in his mic, and began to rap motivational words to the rest of the group, empowering their attacks with BELIEF!

Double
​

Double was casually testing her body and taking sips of coffee as she listened to Scott's information about the world that they are currently in. She almost spat her coffee when she heard his request to change into something, she understood and turned into a girl with cat-ears, "I see." She was startled as she heard Nick Fury command them to go to somewhere. Double dashed as she proceeded to go with the group. She explored the sewers, as they encountered the Killer Croc. She wasn't able to fight as she was distracted by some things. She looked over and saw that the fight was getting intense. She prepared herself and separated her head into nine different heads and made them attack him. If he were to swallow them, Double would get the chance to attack him from the inside. If he didn't do anything to them, he would constantly be taking hits from the small heads. "Aeon has foretold our victory, you shouldn't be too cocky..." , her eyes glowed a bright red.

Double started with by charging at him with the heads, barraging him with multiple hits and dropping on to him as an anvil. She dodged away and let the other heads move with her as well. Some heads stayed behind and bit some parts of his body. She turned into a fist and hid behind it, the hardened skin would give her defense if she was ever struck with something. She looked over to the person who was rapping and said, "Nice lyrics, I prefer if it was a worship song but, sure." It was a paper-thin dog that did the rapping, which made Double question her sanity.

He says "Despite the disadvantage, he is still putting up a good fight. However, we can't just stand here and let other people die. All of us need to act if we ate going to take that monster down."

  When Alphonso decided to look after other members of the group Steve instead decided to proceed to dig by himself, after all who knew how much time they had left to spend here before they were sent to fight. So the blocky man went off to a corner of the warehouse, switching to his pickaxe and beginning to dig down.
  
  As he dug down he was happy to know that what he got back were perfectly 1 by 1 meter blocks like in his old world, still it seemed like he would need a lot more effort to get the materials he wants. No matter, the any% speedrun for defeating the ender dragon is like 5 hours, and that's from the beginning of the game, now he had very good equipment to get some useful materials.
  
  By the time Nick Fury asked for everyone's attendance Steve was already out, digging up a extensive system of zigzagging passages below the warehouse that all went down at a diagonal, even if you were rushed you still needed to be safe from lava right? Luckily for him as well, it seemed like mobs from his world spawned around him if it was dark and only him, resulting with getting enough gunpowder. Unfortunately he could never get his hands on pumpkins...
  
  As they were being led by Ant-Man through the sewers he got a bit curious about these friends of his, but he just assumed since his name was Ant-man it meant that maybe ants told him where they were? Whatever was an ant anyways?
  
  Before he had time to think they already were confronted by Croc, Steve this time opted not to go for a straight forwards attack and instead start digging underground immediately, digging about a 3-4 meter hole. Using the loud noises that the croc made while walking Steve would quickly open the hole to the surface, to make Croc fall in there.

Frowning as his rap seemed to do nothing, he turns up the boombox, making his voice clear to all, and perhaps even being able to utilise his song as a weapon against Killer Croc

"C'mon everyone, this guy ain't so tough!
He's sure to fall down if you hit him enough!
I know you got it in you, you can win this fight!
Just don't give up and play your cards right!
Stay away from his claws, duck, dodge, deceive

Interaction: Rin, Len, Takemi, Killer Croc​

Following the twins' direction, Lyle pointed his palm at the enemy. He once again activated Up N' Down to speed up his party and slow down Killer Croc's movement considerably. What followed was a period of silence amidst the shouting as Lyle condensed the mana in his palm and recited a spell in his mind. It would be easy for him to coordinate the spell to only hit his target with the help of the twins' data, but to establish a telepathy connection, they would need to...
His face turned slightly red. Never mind. Instead, he condensed his spell to reduce the probability of a friendly fire.

Lava Vortex

A vortex made of lava appeared behind Killer Croc, slowly moving forward to burn him. At the same time, Takemi moved in to attack while someone told the noncombatants to back away. That didn't include him, but the twins weren't combatant. He cast another spell, this time around the twins.

Holy Barrier

A thin outline of yellow glow appeared around the body of Rin and Len, protecting them from damage. Lyle himself took a step back. He drew his sabre, just in case Killer Croc tried to harm the twins.

"We should retreat for now. It's a bit crowded."

Chapter 2
“Infiltration”

The Story So Far
Following the groups' defeat at the hands of the four Avengers, they had all awakened to find themselves taken in by the S.H.I.E.L.D. organization. As explained by the leader, Nick Fury, the devices implanted within them by Cobblepot had been disabled, and if they all intended to return to their home world, they would all have to do one thing; infiltrate Cobblepot’s facility and locate whatever technology was used to transport everyone into this world in the first place, and reverse-engineer it to send them all back.

After a brief moment's rest, the group was well on their way back to Cobblepot's facility, guided by Scott Lang.. However, the infiltration process quickly went sour, as murder was afoot. A few of the group members were murdered, Amy Rose, Rober E. Cerf, and Link, by a giant reptilian creature who called itself "Killer Croc".

Meanwhile, Robert found himself waking up in a strange location, where he was greeted by an even stranger man...



Jerome’s shot towards Croc had worked out well, having shot the overglorified alligator directly in the arm as he lifted it up to shield his face. However, the shot managed to shoot his arm clean off, with it falling to the ground. Smoke erupted from the once attached appendage as Croc let out a pained shriek. Groaning, he looked at the group one last time.

“You may have gotten lucky this time, but I have your scents, and I will hunt you down!” With that, Croc retreated back into the pool he came out of, leaving his discarded arm on the ground. Any attacks after that wouldn’t have worked, as Croc was gone by the time they were put into action. With nowhere else to go but forward, you proceeded onwards.

And proceed you did, as after a good hour or so of trekking through the sewage, you finally found your destination. Yes, that light at the end of the tunnel you had all been searching for came in the shape of a black freight elevator in a small, enclosed room, which presumably led you all into Cobblepot’s base. Your suspicions were right, as after going up the elevator in groups of six, you all ended up in a small storage room. The room was cluttered with wooden crates throughout, which were stacked all the way to the ceiling.

“I… think we’re here.” Leo said as he gazed around. As you made your way out into the hallway, you all made sure to not get caught throughout your trek. The hallways were mostly dull shades of white and grey, and were surprisingly empty. Maybe Cobblepot’s men had a day off?

You all managed to evade getting caught, however eventually you all came across a split in the path. One path lead to experimental research and the other led to a simulation room.

“I think splitting up would be best here,” Leo said, rubbing the back of his head. “We can cover more ground that way."

With that in mind, you had the option to investigate either of the two options ahead.

The man let out a snide chuckle in response to Robert’s words. “Well, that is good to know. This means that the transition process is going smoothly.” He said with a nod. Before he could elaborate on what he meant by that, the man stood up and led Robert into the office on the other end of the waiting room. After turning the nob and opening the door, Robert found none other than Oswald Cobblepot standing there, a smug smile on his face.

“Welcome, Robert ‘ol boy! Come on in and have a seat!” The short man exclaimed, moving aside so Robert could enter the room.

“If it isn’t old Copperpot, I’m sure it hasn’t been long, but seeing you face to face makes it feel like forever. I have been having the most wonderful conversation with your subordinate, about handmade lavender scented candles. Tell me have you thought about getting some for your office? I’m sure it can help you relax on the days where you are working alone.” Robert walked in before sitting down on the chair giving a solid business posture and giving Copperpot a friendly grin.

"It's Cobblepot, son." The short man replied as he led Robert into his office and beckoned him to sit down in a red velvet chair adjacent to his desk, where he firmly parked himself in a similar black chair. "I have considered getting candles for my office, though ultimately I decided it ruins my... unique decor." The man replied, before leaning forward and grabbing a large bottle of a dark liquid, presumably some kind of alcohol, and pulling it towards him. He lifted the bottle up and unscrewed the cap, setting it down beside him. He then proceeded to line up two shot glasses and pour himself a drink, before looking up to Robert.

"Care for a drink, lad?" He asked with that same, crooked smile.

TANDEM, THE ITALIAN SWINDLER

Tandem smiled at their well-deserved victory despite not doing much other than saving the 2-Dimensional dog from danger but he's fine with that, at least he participated at the fight instead of getting mauled to death like those other four guys. One of them even got bitten in half! He shuddered at the sight of dead bodies since he's never seen one despite having a life of crime. He's actually kind of scared, paranoid that he's going to be the next to die because he's not really a fighter, more of a spy, really. He wanted to steal the sword from the dead body but Shiki was way ahead of him. He'll let her keep it for a while because he sees her as a friend. . . Besides, he'll probably steal it from her if she falls asleep or something. She might get pissed off but the sword looks so shiny and cool that he can't help but be tempted to steal it.

But now he has to choose between two paths, Experimental Research or Simulation room? Tandem cupped his chin while putting a hand on his hip. He'll probably just wait for others to choose and follow the biggest group because he wants to have more meatshields than just a few. So, for now he'll just wait for people to choose and follow the biggest group or maybe follow Shiki and that Leonardo guy if they're going in the same path, they're the only people Tandem had a conversation with in this world other than Deathstroke and that weird skeleton guy, he might have had a conversation with more people in this universe but he can't really recall any.​

“Apologies, I’m afraid I’m underage, while you many not follow such laws in your humble abode, but I’m afraid I respect the drinking age, so I must humbly decline.” Robert declined the drink. “But that is a very nice chair you have there, custom made and quite sturdy, I’m sure.

Aeon observed the fight from a far distance. Her arm still hurts and would very much be glad if she could rest. She proceeded to stay behind, until the battle was over. Afterwards, she followed the group and ended up to a splitting path. Aeon was trying to examine what would happen if she chose either of the paths, she saw some good and bad outcomes, depending on the situation. She felt that the path to the Research room could be better, a simulation sounds foreign to her. She signaled Double to go to the other room, and wait for her outside when they finish scouting the room. She feels that something bad will happen, it's as if someone put a bad air in the room. "I should go with Double, just in case.", she said to herself as she proceeded to not follow with what she said. They were in the sewers after all, that could explain why she felt uncomfortable. But, she had a feeling in her gut that something was wrong. She proceeded to walk into the Research room, while holding her cloak.

Cobblepot chuckled and nodded in response, screwing the cap back onto his bottle and leaning back into his chair, grabbing his shot glass as he did so. He brought the glass up to his lips and took a sip before resting back in his seat. "These seats are indeed quite comfy," He said. "Though I'd advise against witty remarks regarding my weight in the future, less you want your brains to stain my nice new carpet. And I don't think either of us want that, do we?" He said as he shifted forward, clearly taking Robert's last comment as a sign of disrespect, whether Robert intended that or not.

Sighing, he'd shift back in his seat. "Now... I bet you're wondering why I called you in here, hm?" Cobblepot asked, though whether or not Robert answered or not he'd continue. "Well, I need you to go down into my lab and investigate some... disturbances, as it were. You think you could do that for me?"

Their attacks didn't seem to mean much, in the end. Even losing an arm didn't seem to phase Croc much. It was more like he'd gotten tired of toying with them rather than them fighting him off. However, the results were the same, so she supposed she shouldn't complain. Takemi nearly dropped from her feet, catching herself before she fell back into the sewer water. She was already dripping wet, dejected, shivering. What a miserable first battle with these people, and they still had more to come, still had to trudge through this awful place where she could barely see. Takemi stuck close to Lin, Ren, and Lyle the whole way, trusting their mapping abilities to guide them.

The light at the end of the tunnel wasn't Heaven for her; it was an entrance to further Hell, trapped in a box. It was all she could do to keep from bolting away as soon as the elevator doors opened. Not that there was anywhere to bolt to. A single hallway greeted them, at least until they reached a fork in the road. There wasn't a single guard or employee. The silence, only broken by their footsteps, was eerie.

Research or Simulation, between the two, there wasn't likely to be much difference for them, but at least in the Research Room they might find some information about what they were up against. If they could have an idea about what they might face in the future, they'd be able to plan better. It was as good a reason as any.

“I think we should check out the Research Room.” She spoke mostly just to her Party. “Walt, you'll benefit from what we might find out there, I think. The more info we can gather the better for you, y'know?”

The moment they were out of the sewer a sweep of motion took place from the stoic girl, the once white garment seeming to vanish being replaced by another with all the traces of blood and sewage seeming to vanish, the scent of grime and refuse being replaced by that of flowers. The crocodile giving idly prattle and a threat like reading from some predefined script of lightly menacing lines, the escape was a mercy the creature likely didn't deserve but that was not really her place to say, after all...this wasn't her world, he wasn't her reason for being here so he could brood in squaller to lick his wounds for all she cared it made no difference.

That was an area of note, either by some indescribable force or that part of her she had long since denied the rigidity of this world as tangible to her, perhaps there was more to the script, especially with the faintness and places of the lines. She had seen it before, the lines that lead to stagnation and traps there occupants in what one would call Fate, only at the final moments for the select few could they ever be broken, until then faceless masses of grey would change the course of them as well as many other. As the thought comes she turns her attention to Aeon at doubles her words "Then you have seen it correct? The single line that even if it would sprout more would collapse back into it constrained by the tunnel of these dying worlds" some curiosity if another could see what she could, or if it was all a show for the theatrical beings.

As the signs appear she notices them walk off down the research path, eyes staying on for them for a moment bound by those chains, typical, sighing and turning down the Simulation path herself "I am going to find something interesting potentially, outside the known...at least until fate collapses the path back by pre-emptively severing the stem." she doesn't gesture to follow her, those who wished to would anyway.

Killer Croc disappeared without being defeated, which caused Lyle to worry. He wasn't a battle maniac; killing for the sake of fighting was not his style. However, for letting an enemy ran away with considerable intel meant they have lost the element of surprise. He worried more that no one else seemed to think of it. He hastily followed the group forward.

As they reached the junction, Takemi asked him about the research lab. He was leaning toward heading there as well. On one hand, he had no idea what a simulation room was for. Battle simulation? Why wouldn't they call it a sparring room then? And he had a feeling the Tesseract and Cobblepot would be in the research lab, fitting for someone like him. Someone crazy enough to dabble with multiverse surely was similar to Damian and refuged in his working place most of the time.

"I agree. Rin, Len, we should move in front of everyone else. With Search, Map, and Spec, the two of you can help us avoid any traps and ambush."

He called the twins to move forward and gave them a reassuring smile.

"I will be in front of you with Takemi to protect the two of you. And if everything turn to worse, I will Shuffle you away from the battlefield first thing before anything else."

Upon reaching the junction, He thinks over his options. A simulation, that's like a mock fight, right? Soren might have mentioned it before. But on the other hand, Experimental Research brought on memories of Izuka's work from both the Tower of Gritnea and beyond, Elincia told him how the bastard ranted and raved about his work, even to his dying breath. Such things must be stopped as soon as possible. "I'll be heading with the group toward the Research area." thatguyinthestore
