Point Zero

"We shouldn't split up" PaRappa mutters quietly, staring at the floor as he trudges towards the paths ahead "It was bad last time. We should do this as a group. If one way doesn't end up where we want to go, at least we won't lose anyone this time" he was clearly starting to crack, he'd never seen anyone die before, and it was becoming stressful for the paper dog, he couldn't keep up the strong facade much longer. He was a child after all!

He just had to keep believing, right?​

Noel

Noel has had the worst day of her life...

First she fought some Horse Man with a 1000 degree blade on some ship with what appeared to be a fridge on wheels with tentacles and some vampire guy

Next she returned to the floor of the simulation room... The throbbing pain in her head from her Mu-12 reared it's head so she disengaged it collapsing to her knees briefly before some guy in a mask popped in and made the whole room shake.

Jumping up in the panic she reactivated her Mu-12 and flew towards and through the door eventually coming to a schism in the path and in a split second decision she veered right with some other people.

She deactivated her Mu-12 form while leaning against a wall for support as she almost collapsed into a messy heap of worn out android. Looking up she notices the chained up beast and yelped out in surprise falling onto her back. It was clear that she had just lost some of her mental resolve... before she pulls a gun on it.

"Lets kill that thing before It kills us!" she screeches cocking the hammer on her pistol.

As Steve peeled the strange note off his chest, he would find the words “Welcome Back - O.C.” written crudely in black marker. It didn’t take a genius to figure that “O.C.” probably stood for “Oswald Cobblepot.” After reading the note, Steve would find himself in a… destroyed lab of some sorts. With nothing else to do, and probably the fact that Cobblepot was watching him, it appeared that the best course of action would be to investigate the lab.

  As the blocky man read what was written on the note he couldn't show how irritated he felt was due to lack of his facial mucles. Still he now knew that it wasn't some third party that somehow got him out of the grave. Right now realistically he could either wait to see if anyone else would die and if they came here or investigate the surrounding area.
  
  "Well hopefully nobody else dies while I'm gone." he says while starting beginning to investigate the lab

As Willow and her group were heading down the hall, at one point she turned her head to look behind them. She noticed that one person--the paper dog man--seemed to be still standing at where the path split, with his head hanging downwards as if he were experiencing sadness or a similar emotion. Willow stopped in her tracks and took a glance back at her group, then back at this dog man. She didn't even know his name, yet she felt she couldn't just walk away from this. Biting her lip a little, then turning her head back to the rest of the people who said they were going left, she finally let out a deep sigh and began walking back to where the path split. She was definitely better with flames than with people, but she still didn't really want to leave him there alone. Approaching the dog man, with her lighter still lit and producing a tiny light, she quietly asked, "...Do you need a hug? Hugs are usually good when people are sad."

"How can they keep going like nothing is wrong? People keep dying!" The dog answers, sniffling quietly "We should have helped them...I can't keep going, not if people wouldn't care if I died!" the stress of the situation had clearly gotten to the young MC, as his head hung low and he was clearly trying to hide the fact he was crying, wiping at his eyes with the backs of his hands "I thought we were a team, but every time someone dies, people just keep going like nothing happened..."

Willow didn't intially know what to say to the heavy information the paper dog man had piled on her. He definitely did seem like he had a reasonable reason to be upset. Getting a bit closer to him, Willow awkwardly wrapped her arms around him for a hug. She was extra careful not to light him on fire with her lighter, which was still in her hand. She hugged him for what felt like a few minutes, then she let go and began searching the ground for something to burn. A good fire always calmed her down, maybe it would do the same for him?

There was no time to waste. They needed to get back to the other group. Rin could carry the injured woman with ease, despite the American’s desire to help. There could be no dispute; they had no real reason to stay in the lab.

Outside in the hallway made for short reunion. The group from the Simulation Room seemed like they’d been through something terrible, and they didn’t have time to stand around and chat about it before Cobblepot’s taunting voice came on over the speaker. Takemi glared at the intercom, wanting to call the coward to show himself and face them rather than hiding behind his twisted experiments.

Said twisted experiments soon showed themselves again. This time, there was no thought of fighting them, and they all made a hasty retreat into another room, barricading the door. However, one of their number didn’t make it inside in time. His final scream as he was torn apart by the Shadow-Beast was all of him that reached them. The door blocked by ice and rock furniture, the others decided to search the room. Takemi stood by the door and silently prayed for Steve’s soul, wondering afterwards what sort of Gods he had in his world.

They didn’t have much time. Shiki had puzzled something out around the bookcase, revealing a passageway. They all rushed through it. As their barricade fell, the Shadow hoard burst in like a tidal wave, and took another of their number. The passageway closed their return path. There could be no going back to help Jerome. How many graves would that make now? She was ashamed to admit that she hadn’t kept track of those that had died. What would become of their souls? They had nothing, not even a body that could be returned to their families. Of course, Takemi noted to herself, that assumed that any of them would be still be alive by then at this rate.

Takemi huddled close to her Party, trying to focus on just about anything other than the narrow walls. Throughout the whole dimly lit corridor, her shoes squished in the mud, and she could hear the slow dripping from the water. When a drop fell on her head, she had to choke back a yelp.

They came to another fork in the road, of course; nothing could ever just be straightforward for them, and of course they were splitting up again, even though they had no idea where they were, where either of these tunnels lead, or whether or not they’d ever meet up again. Although, considering how quickly Lyle decided to take the left path just to avoid Sub-Zero, maybe some of them would consider it a blessing if they never saw each other for the rest of their lives.

The room was full of servers and monitors. They really never did have a chance at stealth in this place did they? They would have been set upon by those Shadow-Beasts sooner or later, no matter what they’d done. She didn’t really want to get on Lyle’s bad side, especially if they were going to continue this Party arrangement. Maybe the sight of just how watched they’d been to whole time would get him to cool down on trying to fight that guy. The more important question was: where were the people normally tasked with watching the cameras? A lunch break with no one to cover for them was surprisingly lackadaisical for a megalomaniac like Cobblepot. It may have worked out well for their little group though, and they may have better luck with the computers here.

“Ren,” she said, looking around at the server tower, “do you think you could scan these for any info?”

Going silent as the girl hugged him. PaRappa took a deep breath and lifted his head slightly "Thanks" he murmurs, wiping his eyes one last time and taking out his microphone, wrapping the cord around his hand a few times, he nods slightly "Which way? I'll make sure no-one else gets hurt"

It seems, he'd managed to recover at least a little of his energy, but he still seemed a little touchy and was clearly throwing himself into a risky scenario by taking responsibility for everyone's security moving forward. All that was left was to hope he could stand by his word and protect those in the group he joined from any further harm

~A Surgical Expedition~​

Rin was confused again. No, not just confused, but also extremely uncomfortable.
She had been glad that one of her emergency pins for ribbon-related emergencies was useful to Ae, though the poor girl wasn't completely sure to expect from the weird assortment of items. Sewing? Probably sewing, and La-la had a wound which meant that the woman was going to imitate one of those medical TV series and sew the other's belly, right?

Well, not... exactly.

She proceeded to get told to hold, Double?, --Wasn't her name Lamia?,-- which the female vocaloid had been ready whether on request or not. Yet the rest of the phrase was... odd. Adding weight? Gehena? But before she could ask anything, she saw the thing. What thing? It was like Rin had suddenly, for a minute or two ended up in a horror movie, one full of big chomping mouths and teeth and maybe saliva. She wanted to look away and yet morbid curiosity wouldn't allow it as she watched Aeon step willingly inside it. Somewhere deep down she's terrified of being swallowed into the dark abyss too and begging the Buddha for mercy.

Rin still can't look away, if anything, maybe her cybernetic mind had just skipped over the end. As if jumping corrupted sections of a video. Once her brain can make sense of the environment again all that's left behind is a tiny pink-bellied bird. It spoke to her, though the shocked girl didn't register any of its words. She merely followed it with her gaze as it flew from her lap and nested itself on her head, right before the headset's arc.

"O...kay then.", it's all she can say about it, in a nervous tone of voice.

Finally, the bookcase started moving, the noise of the mechanism at work taking the attention of both twins. Letting Leo dash outside and Alphonse get some distance of the pile, Len left the barricade last of the three, slowly diminishing his applied weight over it until he had effectively let go for good. Then he ran, calling Rin's name who had already stood up on queue, for her to run closer to him.

The group fled the previously closed room as quickly as they could, yet one of their teammates, Jerome had seemingly stood behind for too long and gotten attacked. As his screams echoed in the background, the sister had briefly stopped, looking back at the start of the pathway with a melancholic, defeated 'not again' leaving her mouth in almost a breath. Len realized she had done so and went back to urge her own. Though reluctantly and with her pure electronic heart broken, she kept on moving, but not before giving their fallen friend a sad goodbye wave.

.

~Holding Grudges~​

The pathway was pitch black, as well as with its floor covered in a sticky substance. Not too sticky, but enough to glue someone's shoes slightly when they walked on top of it. Rin wasn't too bothered about it, to be honest, she was still quietly processing the deaths of Steve and Jerome as well as paying attention to La-la bird on top of her head, to make sure she was still there. Len on the other hand, wasn't very thrilled with the wet, muddy path.

For starters, ever since he had punched that darned television, his left hand had suffered a few cuts, so the metallic casing wasn't fully protected. What did that mean for the young vocaloid? It meant that getting any of the gaps wet would be a risk and with the ceiling dripping as it was keeping it safe was a bit of a chore. He ended up having to open one of his short pockets and sticking it there the entire walk, like a punk, or maybe just a doofus. Whatever it seemed as it would be odd. Hopefully, no one could see in the dark. Otherwise, he'd be quite embarrassed.

Eventually, the group reached two entrances, forcing them to split paths, again. This time Len didn't even protest, he had no hope left for this group and knew that the separation would be inevitable. It hadn't been any surprise that the ill-tempered Sub-Zero would have been one of the firsts to choose a side and then it had also not been any surprise that Lyle would choose the exact opposite one. Haaa, these two... Even if the male vocaloid wasn't that fond of the man in blue and black, they were acting like children! Children that would refuse to play together at any cost, this was getting ridiculous.

Len let out a defeated sigh and followed their party leader. At this point, it was clear that sticking with Lyle was one of the few ways they could actually help the others, while also remaining relatively safe. Also, Rin seemed to have grown quite attached to these people, so they'd still go to hell and back with this group, despite one of them acting childish.

A welcome surprise had been two others sticking to their party as well. Rin, who hadn't stopped checking on the bird-woman every couple minutes, was ecstatic about having more people to talk to, wanting to distract herself from the terrible, traumatizing things that she kept witnessing throughout the day. And then it happened, someone started an introduction! It was her time to shine!

"Yeah sure! We like new people!", the girl let out with a bright smile, holding her hopping tendencies because of the cute delicate bird perched on her, "Hey there, Al, I'm Rin! Nice to meet ya~!"

She excitedly waited for the big talking armor that sounded a bit like a younger Len to say something back, until she realized he was talking to someone else! Waaa the surroundings were a bit too dark to see them!

"What's your little friend's name?", she asked, slowly tilting her head in curiosity so that the bird would not fall with an abrupt movement.

Meanwhile, the brother had been watching Lyle attentively from behind, still concerned about the whole him and Sub-Zero rivalry that was going on. He was afraid that the other's distaste for the man could potentially influence other future decisions and lead the whole group towards their doom. No offence, he considered Lyle a good leader but, even good leaders tended to slip up when too emotional. Len wanted to bring this up, but he wasn't sure of how to do it without giving the wrong impression, so for now, he remained quiet and watchful

Once they entered the room, it was more than clear that they had wandered up into some sort of control center from where rooms could be monitored through cameras. It could be the place they keep getting monitored at, but the rust in the doors made him guess otherwise. Who would leave such an important place to rust and collect dust if they really needed it? That didn't seem right.

"Perhaps.", he commented out loud when a black box containing an AI, --to think about it, they weren't that different--, made her own guess, "But maybe, this has long been replaced by a more sophisticated system. I doubt anyone would leave their security this unprotected and neglected. It just... wouldn't make sense. Are we being toyed with? Was this deliberately made to confuse or trick us?"

He stood near the computer and Ritsu not sure of what to do since the AI seemed busy with hacking. Len didn't feel like messing with the console or the buttons while someone else was working with it, unless he expressively got her permission to do so. Rin stuck to the wall, seemingly focused on making conversation with her new friends.

"Ren, do you think you could scan these for any info?"​

Nevermind the R and L switch, he could comprehend that, but the request was a bit confusing still given that there were multiple ways to scan something when it came to this party:

"With Spec or...?", the male vocaloid asked with a glance towards Lyle, then a second one towards Ritsu. If it was the second option he'd have to man up and ask the AI if he could join her.

Eric

After successfully fending off the fire-breathing zombie, Mr. Leon, Ms. Yuma, Mr. Negan and I all managed to escape with our lives, though not without several burns to our bodies. Ironic how a Fire-type can get cooked because he's suffering from a little illness. Anyway! I managed to stumble after the others as they ran away from the figure I recognized as The King of Twilight Zant, and I only coughed up blood fifteen times during my escape. Brand new record. I'll wear it on my chest proudly.

Things just kept getting better from there. Sir Oswald taunted us again, sent a horde of Shadow Beasts our way, killed my precious boy Steve ('Arceus dammit!' I thought to myself), and made us play escape room with the lounge we got trapped in, which finally concluded the exciting and life-threatening minutes with another split path. In the middle of a secret musty corridor. I can vividly feel each drop of water that falls on my snout. Cold, but not as foul as sewer water, it seems. My curious mind begins to put the pieces together. Rusty planks? Check. Doesn't smell like feces? Uh huh. Wet soil shifts underneath my foot, which I lift up to proceed inspecting my paw pad. Muddy floor? Yep.

Drip. The fur on my leg brushes against the thick brown liquid as I set it back down. Seems like an abandoned tunnel... or a tunnel someone didn't want others to find, I conclude.

Back in reality, everyone else has already started to make their decisions while I had my no s*** Sherlock moment. Gone down the right path is the Lin Kuei's Kuai Liang, Shiki Ryougi, Yuma, Negan, Leon, Tandem, Ms. Belladonna, and Ms. Noel Vermillion. Willow, Aeon and Double, Lyle, Alphonse Elric, Parappa, Ritsu, Hashimoto Takemi, Ike Plymont, and Mr. Morgan took the left. My ears perk up, raising my snout to join them in listening and smelling for what lies down both paths. A blind decision can be a fatal one. Too bad the ringing in my ears and my stuffed-up nose make both senses useless. All I'm left with is considering the teams. Let's see... we've got an ice ninja, Raccoon City's legend and his daughter, a kickass Faunus, and a BIPFD on one hand, but on the other, we have a shapeshifting nun, a robot artillery girl, a poor guy bound to a suit of armor, and the best shooter in the Van der Linde gang.

Think hard. Life or death may be at stake.

Team yeehaw it is.

You idiot.

I follow the left squad to a room of security stations, plastered about with monitors that show an assortment of different rooms in the facility. It doesn't take a genius to realize this is a security room. Though, the question of why there's no one here stands tall and pushes me to wariness. Even a stuffy nose can sniff out the scent of something too good to be true. Still my eyes scan the monitors with a hint of intrigue. They fall on the one labeled MAIN OFFICE first, secretly wondering what things there could be of interest.

Negan looks down at Yuma and then back up at the beast, remembering what one of its kind did to the soldier earlier he says

"That thing ain't a puppy, we are better off leaving it there and hauling ass somewhere without flesh eating shadow creatures".

Negan then hears Leon talking about freeing the creature and responds

"I don't know if you noticed but these thing will bite your fucking head off."

  Psycho was slightly behind, speeding himself up with his nanosuit’s maximum speed. He was able to get inside before the door closed, hearing Steve’s screams as the door closed. After making it toward the other room, he pushed himself toward the way out and watched after splitting up, he watched Jerome die. Something about the other mans death bothered him. Jerome was the closest friend he had here at the time. He forced himself to speed on, having no choice but to hear the spartan’s screams.
  
  He was forced to choose between paths right or left as he quickly chose the left room. The left room had a surveillance
  camera area. He caught his breath as he searched for something to help with. He watched the main door and went to check it.

Ritsu would have found that she was blacked out from hacking into the systems once more. It seemed that whatever signal was shutting her out seemed to be getting stronger. However, once she backed out and Eric selected the office, all the screens changed to static before forming one large video.

The video in question showed Cobblepot in his office, sitting in his chair. It appeared that it was a live feed of the room. Cobblepot was merely smoking a cigarette, when a figure some of you may recognize as the same one from the sim room appeared inside the room with Cobblepot. The fat man jumped at his sudden appearance, before clutching his chest and taking a breath.

"Bloody hell, mate! Couldn't ya enter with a knock? You could've given me a bloody heart attack!" Cobblepot exclaimed before readjusting himself. The figure himself didn't reply, only staring at the shorter man through his cold, emotionless mask.

"The Tesseract, Cobblepot." The man finally said. His voice was dark and sinister, spoken full of malice. One could even guess that he was using a voice synthesizer of sorts upon first hearing it. "I promised you an army of my shadow beasts, and in return you promised me the Tesseract."

"Yeah, yeah. I remember the bloody deal." Cobblepot replied, raising an arm to wave off the man's words as he took a large puff from his comically oversized cigar. "The thing is, we have a bit of a problem, you see. That group of multiverse blokes I pulled in to help me get those S.H.I.E.L.D. guys off our backs. Turns out, those Avengers or whatever they call themselves managed to fix the chips in their heads. At least, the part that makes their heads look like toma--HRK!!!" Cobblepot suddenly found himself being forcefully lifted off the ground, the man becoming enveloped in a dark aura of sorts. One would notice that the other man wasn't moving a muscle, instead simply moving towards Cobblepot at an slow, almost menacing, pace.

"I should kill you where you stand, you insignificant whelp." The man hissed out in a sharp whisper. Cobblepot was struggling mid-air, his stubby little legs kicking in the air as he desperately attempted to regain some footing. After an excruciating few seconds of eerie silence, the man tossed out his arm and threw Cobblepot to the side, sending him crashing into a wall. "If these intruders which you brought in are in fact as much trouble as you claim, then I will see to it that they are dealt with." With that, the figure left the room entirely as Cobblepot slowly stood back up, collecting what was thrown on the floor after he was thrown, shaking his head and muttering something under his breath as he did so.

With that seemingly important conversation out of the way, the group could now either investigate the room or check the vault footage.

The group's argument was seemingly for nothing as Shiki had already cut the chains that the creature was strung up by. The creature fell to its feet, struggling to stand on shaky legs as it attempted to walk towards all of you. It didn't get far, however, as it soon fell to its knees with a loud whimper. It then collapsed entirely and fell on its stomach, before falling limp and evaporating in a mist of black smoke.

"W-why would someone... do this to one of my Twili..." Midna muttered under her breath, before looking up to Shiki and shaking her head. "No... they were once innocent Twili... people of my realm. My realm which I was tasked with protecting, until whoever did this to them turned me into this imp." She sighed, a tear running down her cheek as she floated upwards once more. "Whoever turned my beautiful Twili into these monstrosities, only to torture them and treat them as if they were animals... I promise that they will regret the day they interfered with my kingdom." She said as she floated upwards and started to leave, beckoning you all to follow.

However, before you all had the chance to leave, a random scientist pushed open the door and entered the dark room with all of you.

He glanced to all of you with a surprised expression on his face. Within seconds, he quickly turned around and bolted towards the door!

You could either kill the scientist, knock him out, interrogate him, or let him get away.

In the caves, Leo had decided to stay back as well. He had listened to Parappa's story, nodding solemnly along with what he said.

"Yeah, I understand what you're saying," Leo said as he pushed his back against the wall, sliding downwards until he sat on the muddy ground. "But... sometimes, you just can't save everyone. We wish that we could, but we can't." Leo explained with a small shrug. "Back in my home world, I work for this organization called Libra. Our job is to protect the innocent and the weak... kinda like those S.H.I.E.L.D. guys. And, no matter how hard we try, even if we're all trying our damn hardest, sometimes people die. It's how it is. And I know that you didn't exactly... ask to be here. None of us did. But the thing is, if we give up now and just focus on what we've lost, then we can't help protect what we have left." He paused again and shrugged, before looking down towards the ground.

"At least, that's how I see it anyways."

Meanwhile, Willow couldn't find anything on the ground, however she could always try taking wood from the panels above her to help start a fire.

Upon investigating the lab, Steve would find a few things of note.

First of all was a dead body, which was laid face down against one of the destroyed counters. Next, there was some scrap metal sprawled throughout the room. Upon further investigation, it would appear as if the lab had been broken into and ransacked. Whoever had broken in had done a poor job of keeping things subtle, though, if the burn marks or the shattered glass was anything to go by.

You shiver, and switch to your impish beastie form, and scuttle on top of the screen, watching as cobblepot was just... sitting there- FUCK his surprised jump made YOU jump, and almost fall off the screen!!

“ECH-!!”

You regain your position and watch the conversation between him and the.. slender figure... oh god he’s the same one who was chasing you earlier!! He seemed mad!! What did he possibly want the tesseract for?! Whatever the tesseract actually was, it wasn’t of demon origin you think...

“What... WAS that.... WHO is that... whoever it is... I mean.. he certainly looks like a much more ancient demon and all but... he doesn’t act like any demon I’ve seen, not modern demons!! No demon today acts like this...”

It was true.. demons today, at least where you come from, have lately been a society of reformation... demons were much calmer, less “evil” than their past generations...

“And.. whatever the tesseract is... well.... why would he want it... I barely even know what it does anyways... it doesn’t seem like it’s of demon origin...”

You shiver again, your short fur going P O O F.

I did not even say anything in that argument; I just watched. Apparently, Shiki decided to ignore whatever that is the group was trying to come up with, much like the ninja, but... It didn't end as badly; no broken glass, no rabid creature lashing out at us...n--nothing but the poor sod of a beast collapsing from all the torture it must've had to endure. At least now, it won't have to suffer a poor life any longer, but still. Unlike the Grimm, I...I don't think this imp, who commands those beasts, will even let go of that.

"Hey... I--... I don't know how to say this, but--"

However, before you all had the chance to leave, a random scientist pushed open the door and entered the dark room with all of you.

He glanced to all of you with a surprised expression on his face. Within seconds, he quickly turned around and bolted towards the door!

"...That man..!"

He needs to show us who did this to her creatures, or admit such responsibility! So, I quickly unsheathe Gambol Shroud, transform it into pistol form, unwrap the ribbon around the trigger, and run after him as I try to lasso his foot, aiming to stop him from running as I prepare to interrogate.

Turning to the Imp afterwards provided no direct outburst from the creature "Shadow beasts like this are were most plentiful when summoned by a corrupted mage ritual and artefact in my world, what are they in yours?" keeping her other hand within the sash as she speaks and an eye on the creature.

Watching the figure vanish away it had at least sated the Imp, its lines were glaring and many foretelling its imminent death even if it had not attacked, so instead as the smoke vanishes she listens to the Imp, the others can deal with the scientist for now as she had doubts towards if his worlds would have relevance to her current line of thought though she couldn't help but roll her eyes at the call of vengeance from the Imp "Typical, you failed at protection so jump to vengeance rather find a solution for your people" a soft shaking of her head as she goes to gentle pull at her own hair, casting a glance back down the halls as she recalls Sabers story, a King who gave themselves for their kingdom and willing to give up everything for a better outcome, that showed what they valued, and this Imps words showed what she valued instead "If they are truly monsters now than the treatment is as relevant as beating a rock...However, if you're telling me that this is due to some corruption and they are still in there...then the solution may exist to remove such and restore once they once were...Or you could keep your focus on Vengence If you could only pick on which would you go for?" keeping her gaze on the Imp as she speaks staring into them for there reaction, the faint rings to her eyes as she studies the creature closely.

Soma was...confused. People argued on whether or not tht should free the shadow beast, and during their arguement, some girl broke its chains, freeing the shadow beast. A few seconds later, the beast dies, such a waste of effort. Soma could not do anything, much less say what he has in mind. The beast died right in front of him, on the spot...and then.

Shadow Beast

Defends the user with a shield of Twilight.

The shadow beast's soul went into Soma. This will be the only memory of it. Just then, a scientist arrived in the most inopportune moment and quickly run. "Hey!" Soma yelled, following the rest as they chase the scientist down, intending to interrogate him.

Leon watched as the argument was concluded with the actions of a single rogue girl. Nothing may have happened this time, but if it had been hostile when she decided to free it then it could've easily taken two-- or even three of them off-guard. However, his rage was quickly quelled by the sudden death of this creature. He held his tongue against the girl. Sometimes you just can't save them all.

As things were winding back from this encounter a scientist burst into the room obviously not expecting us to be here, and before long a few of the others ran to apprehend him for interrogation. Leon joined the group around him, but didn't make any clear effort to help restrain him. No point in piling on top of the guy.

Ike came down the hall, and chose to go down the Right Path. Upon seeing the shadow beast, he kept his mouth shut, knowing the others would decided soon enough. After hearing Midna's story and seeing the scientist, Ike dashed after him to capture and Interrogate the bastard. Even if the Shadow Beasts looked weird, if they were sentient, then this was Unforgivable.

Yuma watched as the girl cut the chains while everyone continued to argue. She was happy the creature was free. Suddenly the scientist looking person came in. She knew if he got away he could alert somebody, but right before she could say anything others in the group already grabbed him.
“Oh uh.. that was easy.”

Willow was disappointed that her search of the ground yielded nothing, and was about to tell the paper dog man that they had gone in groups in both directions when a third person she hadn't noticed before began telling them about his experiences with death. While he spun his tale, she noticed that the ceiling mainly consisted of wood panels that were definitely flammable and could be used in a fire. As this brown-haired stranger continued to talk, she flicked out her lighter and began trying to remove the aforementioned wood panels so they could be used in a fire. When he finished speaking, Willow piped in, whilst still trying to remove the wooden panels, "I'm likely one of the worst people to talk to about death. I often had to kill a rabbit or hostile creature back in The Constant for the sake of survival, and even when I was with other survivors who had ended up in The Constant with me, there was always a telltale heart or another method of bringing them back from death's door."

  Whilst the boy who had glowing blue eyes alongside the Giant Tin Knight- who was apparently one Alphonse Elric- fought to keep the doors closed, Arthur quietly drew in a deep breath. The instant the puzzle-solvers finished fiddling with the bookcase, the horde came through without warning. As soon as the former two was outside of the blast radius, Morgan immediately blasted his Volatile Fire Bottle trap, setting the horde of the damned alight. What he didn't actually expect was for a few of the Shadow Beasts to get through beforehand. They instantly swarmed Jerome alone, and without any way to safely get them off of the soldier, Arthur couldn't do anything.
  
  Except for end his companion's misery quickly. Morgan grimaced as he lit up a stick of Dynamite, hurling it into the horde as they focused on the Spartan. He was already through the library door, shutting it closed behind the group when the explosion completely obliterated everything, hopefully being a swift and painless end for his armored friend rather than getting mauled to death.
  
  "Shit..." Was all he managed to utter under his short breaths as he slowly trudged on, rejoining the group just as they began to head off their separate ways. They didn't have much time to figure out which was was which- Arthur knew that his fiery furniture trap and the bookshelves would merely delay the horde's approach if they were so insistent. Without thinking, he went left. pulling out an Electric Lantern from his Satchel (of infinite space) for everyone to see better in the terrible lighting of the tunnels.
  
  
  
  
  
  Turns out the room the Left Team had stumbled on was filled with those "Tell-A-Visions" he had been greeted with earlier. Even though he wasn't entirely certain how to operate all these machines at once, Morgan knew what a "VAULT" and what a "MAIN OFFICE" was. One giant skeleton guy, who Arthur felt was very familiar despite not remembering him being a part of the group who originally got kidnapped, asked what their "plan" was. The gunslinger looked around at everyone else scrambling to get some information- none of them looking like they were having any luck.
  
  "I don't think we've got no plan," Arthur replied as he grimaced at the word "plan". At this point, that phrase was practically synonymous with Dutch for better or worse. When a giant badger- who, in Arthur's eyes, didn't look so good himself- pressed the latter red button, the T-Vs changed to a visual of that asshole Cobblepot... and some new unfamiliar figure. At first, Arthur figured the latter was probably some kind of crony of that corrupt businessman not unlike the Deathstroke guy from their first encounter. Turns out that cronie wasn't actually an underling.
  
  The first warning sign was the mention of them damn "Shadow Beasts" again. An army, more specifically- which meant he was behind all of those monstrosities. But what really rang internal alarm bells was when Cobblepot seemed to be affected by some sort of inexplicable magic... which looked like it was coming from the mysterious accomplice. At this point, Arthur instantly pulled out his Portable Camera, which would probably seem extremely outdated to everyone except for its user. Within moments he had taken a "picture" of the duo, though he would have to take the film out later once it was fully developed in order to show it to that Midna woman later.
  
  However, despite everything that just happened, there was one specific detail that bothered him- "At least, the part that" from Cobblepot implied that weird chip thingy in their heads was still functioning. Was there something else that was functioning in their brains, by any chance? Maybe the fancy Avengers had missed out on a part or something. Regardless, he moved forwards to "control" the computer gizmos, frowning as he looked at all the other buttons- the Vault one in particular.
  
  "If things ain't too different from 1899, my guess is the Vault will be where this Mr. Cobblepot will be keepin' his precious things. If this Tesseract- or however you pronounce it- is really as powerful as he claimed, he's gonna be keepin' it there." Morgan commented as he pressed the button, keeping his Camera out so he could still take photos of whatever came up.

  Spoiler: Prologue

  

  
  
  A Tell-a-Vision, according to the folks who I overheard talking about it. Seems like this invention helps communicate images or something- Cobblepot used it to talk to us from afar.
  
  
  Spoiler: CHAPTER 1

  

  
  (Credit to TBeltrame on DeviantArt!)
  
  What kind of a mess have I gotten myself into? Flying metal men, people harnessing electricity, and talking human-like animals plague this NEW world I have apparently stumbled upon. If this truly is what we have to look forward to in 2017, then it is a world that I most certainly cannot imagine how 1899 will lead up to these kinds of inventions and people that I have met. Even little Jack Marston's crazy outlandish books have nothing on what I have experienced this whole day- which isn't even OVER yet.
  
  I have the feeling that this world don't want no sort of outlaws like me- but then again, it's brought in women with cat ears, ninjas who can harness ICE itself, and a weapon that can use a red light to burn a giant Crocodile-Man's arm off. Writing this alone makes me question my sanity. This can't just be some ridiculous dream, can it? I initially thought it had to be some sort of afterlife, but a man with an eyepatch named Nick Fury said a blue glowing cube named the Tess-a-ract or however you spell it had a hand in everyone. I don't think everyone came back from the dead like me, though- a lotta folks, including this poor girl and her cottonish animal, seemed real upset and jarred from this new experience just like me. This creepy-looking man, Cobblepot- who reminds me somewhat like a certain Angelo Bronte- was apparently behind all of our "multiverse" problems or something like that.
  
  Cobblepot. If I get my hands on him... Well, let's just say I'm not gonna just feed him to the gators. No. He deserves worse. He put these futuristic bombs in our heads- even the CHILDREN- and threatened to kill us if we didn't fight for him. What the hell was he expecting the children to do? Use their fluffy pet to smother someone to death? Sing them till their ears burst?
  
  That, and the CROCODILE-MONSTROSITY I met earlier. Bastard killed off four of us in the sewers and got away with it. Had to make do for a temporary "burial" without the proper resources. I'll make sure to tell that Nick Fury about where their bodies are. Next time, that Croc won't be getting away with just a missing arm. I'll arm myself properly next time.
  
  Speaking of being armed, I have the feeling that I am somewhat outclassed for once by the people who surrounded me. The man who used that laser weapon seems to have a set of armor that isn't just for show, and some of the folk I've seen can really move fast. Actually, maybe I myself should move- writing this entry in the heart of the enemy beat base probably ain't very smart of me.

  The left passage led to a room with wheel handle. Lyle tried turning it to the left. When it didn't budge, he turned it right. The wheel turned with some effort. It was rusty from time of no use. After everyone moved in, Lyle closed the door behind him. Checking Map, he saw the Monsters no longer chasing them. They lost track.
  
  In the room, there was a lot of monitors. However, that was not his first priority. Lyle looked for Rin and the woman she carried; Double.
  
  "Put her down on the floor. I'll heal her."
  
  Healing magic was not his specialty. Properly trained healers needed years to reach the necessary skill level. He, however, had plenty of knowledge in Water Magic. Replenishing lost blood, healing broken tissues... he could still do as much. Lyle shut down his Skills. Even All. He would need all the concentration he had.
  
  [In the name of essence of life in water and everything that comes from it-]
  
  A complex magic circle appeared over Double's body. It turned slowly, revolving around the wound. Ancient runes carefully weaved together surfaced and disappeared as Lyle recited a spell in an ancient tongue. The language of the Goddesses of Creation. Red droplets formed. A thin membrane appeared around Double. Her wound slowly closed. The process was not fast. Every syllable Lyle uttered further the progress.
  
  By the time he was finished, The wound had fully closed. Lyle smiled tiredly. He had been using magic and skills nonstop. The last time he slept was in the warehouse with Nick Fury. It felt so long ago.
  
  The monitor suddenly turned on. Lyle raised his head and watched the scene from the floor. So that was Cobblepot. His relationship with the fat man wasn't too harmonious. The Monsters were Shadow Beasts. And... troubles would be heading their way soon.
  
  He still blamed the ice wizard for everything.
  
  "Spec could only be used to detect enemies and traps," Lyle spoke to the twins from where he was sitting, leaning against the wall. "looking around personally is better than relying on Skills at time like this."
  
  Lyle slowly stood up and started to investigate the room.
