Point Zero



  • Jerome shook his head, finally standing. Pity was for the covenant, and for marines bitching about the heat. If John was around, he'd tell him to pay attention and look for the weaknesses in the enemy tactics. Use his head, and not his gut.

    "United Nations Space Command, NAVSPECWEP, Section Three."

    Jerome said in response to the question asked of him.

    "Spartan-II Program...."

    And remembering the words of Doctor Halsey, on that fateful day when he was first conscripted....

    "Protector of Earth, and all her colonies."

    He grinned. Though, the methodical part of him kept questioning the sudden....civilian changes to his personality. Mendez would have his ass on a silver platter for this, were he around to see it.

    "This gear is classified beyond top secret. MJOLNIR Mark IV, with Generation two components installed. Energy shields, comms, and even room to store a ship-board AI. This, is the culmination of two thousand and five hundred years of technological development, and has seen me through battles that you probably couldn't imagine."

    He collected himself, returning to his stony Spartan persona

    "Now we have a job to do. Psycho hasn't responded outside of an acknowledgement, and he was a Marine. Marines don't neglect radio checks. The other team is in trouble, and needs some help. Whether it be as reinforcements, or taking the fight to cobblepot and his goons elsewhere."

    He holstered his pistols, unslung his Spartan Laser, and stood.

    "This lab doesn't have anything else of use, unless I've missed something. Did Stark and Fury have a specific assignment for you two outside of taking out extra hostiles in this sector? If not, we're gonna play by ear."

TANDEM, THE ITALIAN SWINDLER
580509
Tandem, who was still sneaking around and staying on the sidelines decided that it was the right time to strike because there's just no way Deathstroke can dodge a sneak attack while being preoccupied with a barrage of spells, bullets, swords and many more by the other members of the group. He popped out of the shadows and behind Deathstroke, grabbing him by the lower legs using the Yo-Yo and attempted to trip him with all of Tandem's might, he had to put effort into this pull because he had heavy armor on or at least Tandem thinks it's heavy but he manages to prance around like a ballerina so maybe its not that heavy. The Italian Swindler had a strong back when it comes to carrying things like a bag of gold so this pull might work on his favor.

"Surprise, bucko!" He said, planning to swing him around if he manages to trip him.​
 
Slade had fallen for Blake's trick, her clone managing to freeze his metal staff in a large, almost unbreakable chunk of ice. Unable to spend enough time to get the damn thing out, Slade instead grunted and refocused his attention on Blake. He then pulled out a sword as he easily dodged all her bullets. "Childish! Resorting to cheap clones instead of your own skill!" He exclaimed, running towards her at full speeds while ducking to avoid her bullets. When he got close enough, Slade leaped into the air and slashed downwards towards the Faunus' head!

Meanwhile, Noel would find that her sword had already been freed from Slade's leg, having only cut it but not fully lodging itself in him. Although, the man had not expected her to pull out a railgun, although he managed to evade the shower of.. well, bullets by simply running in the other direction.

This, however, left Deathstroke open to being hit by the hilt of Leon's knife, temporarily disorienting him for a moment as he was taken aback. He looked down at the ground and furrowed his brows behind his mask. He grunted before stepping on the knife under his boot and kicking it away from both him and Leon.

All this had managed to distract Slade long enough for Hyde to throw his machete at the man. Deathstroke, having noticed the machete flying at him at the last possible second, quickly rose his sword in defense to block the machete. It worked, but the force from Hyde's throw combined with its sharp blade caused Deathstroke's sword to go flying right out of his hands!

Gritting his teeth as the group began chipping away at his weapons and armor, Deathstroke threw a smoke bomb down right before Shiki had landed her hits on him. In doing so, he managed to narrowly avoid the lightning planted by Takemi as well. Temporarily disappearing, Deathstrolke soon reappeared from mid-air once more, this time aiming for a surprise kick to Alphonse! "You people use restraint! I have no such methods!" Deathstroke exclaimed as he attempted to bring his foot down upon the armored alchemists' face. If it connected, it would have been with enough force to send the metal man careening down towards the floor.

Upon Len giving his combat report on him, Deathstroke furrowed his brows under his mask once more. "How did you...?" He asked, only to cut himself off before he let himself get distracted. "Bah! It doesn't matter! Your little tricks won't work without a mouth!" Slade exclaimed, before grabbing a concealed combat knife from the underside of his calf armor-- the one that wasn't injured. With the speed and accuracy of an expert archer, the mercenary threw the knife right towards Len's lower jaw!

This lapse in focus came with its own complications, however, as it left Deathstroke completely open to Arthur's shots! Each shot connected with Deathstroke with one-hundred percent pinpoint accuracy, with all of the shots taking away major spots of his armor as they even sent the assassin reeling back a bit. He didn't even have time to react as various pieces of his armor flew off his body and crashed into the wall, including his helmet, which finally revealed the face of the man you were all fighting.

4a57O2j.png


"What... are you?" Deathstroke asked towards Arthur specifically. He'd never seen a man fire a gun at such rapid succession before, let alone at that speed! With a growl of anger, Deathstroke reached for his gun and aimed it towards Arthur. While not as fast due to Lyle's debuff, he still managed to get a good few shots at the cowboy with his pistol...

...only for that to get knocked out of his hand as well, this time by Comic Papyrus' bone barrage. The flurry of bones sent Slade into a slight panic as he attempted to dodge all of them. He managed to kick some of them away, and even some towards Comic Papyrus and Ren, although a good bulk of them struck the mercenary.

This left him open for Soma to come in with spears as well, none of them hitting them except one which managed to impale him through the foot. "AGH!!" He shouted in both pain and anger as the spear managed to do some damage to his foot, before ultimately yanking it out with his still armored-arm.

He was about to crush the spear in his palm, before Tandem ultimately tripped him with a yo-yo of all things, causing the man to topple over. Before he could even have a proper chance to react, the man was swung around mid-air by Tandem. "GrrrAAAAAAGH!! ENOUGH!!!" He shouted out in a loud, almost unrecognizable sounding hiss as he reached down with his hand, pulling out another concealed knife and slashing Tandem across the arm with it. Assuming it connected, Slade would fall upon his feet once again. Tossing the knife to the side, Slade dropped another smoke bomb and disappeared yet again.

By the time any of you noticed where he was, you would find him on top of the scaffolding with the propane tanks. Before any of you could get a shot or a hit on him, Deathstroke would have already fired towards the support that Arthur and Takemi were standing on. The mercenary must have been using some pretty powerful rounds, because the makeshift second floor they were standing on began to collapse mere moments later!

In the meantime, I changed back to the Fire Cartridge I had used on Killer Croc, as...hey, the world is starting to slow down on me. When Deathstroke started to quip about my clones, he talked slower, and his voice was in a lower pitch. Not only that, but everyone else, well, except for a select few, seemed to slow down around me as well, including Len, who was providing information about out assailant in detail. Whoever is doing this, thank you. You will not be forgotten when you too cease to live. And finally, my brain... It appears that it's starting to be overloaded, but for some reason, I don't exactly feel it negatively affecting me.

Instead, it's working towards my favor.

Now, where was I? Right. As the assassin-looking man was about to slice me downward, I quickly back off at the last second, leaving behind a shadow clone, as I somersault before landing on my two heeled feet. If successful, I would then run up to him while he is midair, having transformed my katana into the form of a pistol with the back-facing blade before releasing the ribbon, as usual. Holding onto the ribbon tied to the trigger, I then start doing fast, saw-like circular swipes at him, changing the direction of the swipes quite a bit to try to throw them off, as I progressively got a little closer, trying to keep him off the ground. Finally, if successful, or at least he's still midair, I would then top it off with a release of Aura energy from a quick slash using Gambol Shroud's sheath.

If all else fails, however, I simply try to back away. Either way, as I stand, suddenly, the floor my high heel boots stood on began falling apart. Uh... I begin making my way to the ninja, trying to avoid parts of the collapsing floor.

"Hey! Any plans?"

TANDEM, THE ITALIAN SWINDLER
580547
After letting go of the YoYo out of shock from getting slashed by the arm, Tandem grabbed the cut wound and panted, this mission is too long and he's kind of getting tired of the constant action and walking but he's not willing to let his team go and give up just yet, he has other things planned for the armed assassin but now he has to take a break, he's not very tolerant when it comes to pain and he can't focus with it. So, he decided to pull a disappearing act and hide in the shadows once again to recover from that attack or maybe just sit on the sidelines for a while and just watch them because this shit is like an action movie, he loves it. The Italian Swindler will grab his YoYo later and if it gets broken from the ongoing battle, it wouldn't hurt to ask for another one by the Kingpin that gave it to him, surely that guy has enough money to make another battle YoYo, maybe make a better one!

Tandem decided to play a little game with himself: Who would strike the last blow and manage to incapacitate Deathstroke? The cool lady or The Cowboy? Those two were his best bets. . . Maybe the cat lady too with her dazzling moves.​

"I.. see." Captain America replied to Jerome. He was still an old World War II vet at heart, and even waking up seventy-two years later after being frozen in a gigantic block of ice was daunting, to say the least. Although, admittedly, he'd never heard of Jerome's particular division. Assuming it was just exclusive to his universe, Cap would nod in response to the UNSC soldier as he stood up and asked his questions.

"Our mission was to extract the Tesseract from Cobblepot as well as you guys. That is, until we saw Leo and Ike outside. Ike was knocked out pretty hard, although Leo informed us that they had been killed in action and that there were more of you. From there, it was mine and Spider-Man's top priority to locate the rest of you. Though, looking at the little amount of you now..." He looked to Jerome, Steve, Leo, and Ike. "Well, I'm guessing that not all of you made it back."

Alphonse Elric
The surprise kick to the armor's helmet would have most likely left the average man with a dent in his skull and bleeding profusely on the floor. Alphonse however was now splattered onto the ground with his helmet knocked across the room. The helmet itself had quite the nasty dent but otherwise was left unscathed. Alphonse quickly shook off the shock of the surprise encounter as he got up from the ground and desperately tried to save the boy from having his mouth torn apart. As fast as he could the young boy shoved his arm in front of the robot's face. If he got lucky his forearm would act as a barrier between the knife and mouth. Alphonse may get a nasty hole through his arm in the process, but it'd be worth it to save the twin. It's not like he'd feel the knife anyways.

With a small blade now lodged into his arm Alphonse quickly pulled it out and was prepared to attack the enemy in retaliation but the mercenary was already back to battling the others. After what he almost did to Len Alphonse didn't want the twin out here anymore in case the man came back to attack once again.

"Please go to safety! I don't want you to get-"

His words would be cut off by the sound of Deathstroke's gun fire. He didn't appear to be shooting at a specific person but at the supports for the makeshift floor that some people were standing on. Unable to complete his sentence, Alphonse left the boy in hopes that he would heed his words and head to safety. If he didn't do something everyone up at the top could fall to their deaths! At a sprint Alphonse slid on the ground to get right under the supports for the floor. As his hands landed onto the ground a flash of blue tinted light danced around his fingertips. The concrete below began to collect and merge into one thick pillar of ground before shooting up and replacing the unstable bits of support. For now, the second floor was stable once again but he couldn't recommend the others stay up there for too long. Alphonse couldn't fortify the structure any more than he already had without possibly causing it to collapse onto itself. he quickly transmuted a set of stairs from the ground up to where the group stood.

Sub Zero gathered a ball of ice in his hands and fired it at the collapsing scaffolding, freezing the entire bottom support beams solid and keeping it stable. He then conjured up an ice axe and prepared to tos it at Deathstroke, before the cat girl came up to him. "We need to spread out. He's toying with us. If I could just get close, I can freeze him in place and the others can come up with a plan."

  • To his mild shock and satisfaction, Arthur's Pump-Action Shotgun made quick work of Deathstroke's modern armor. Seems that old-fashioned solutions to modern problems could, in fact, be viable more than a century after their intended use. Unfortunately, his shots were aimed too late to stop the mercenary from throwing a knife at Len's face.

    God damn it, kid..! Why didn't you listen?!?! Morgan scowled as he saw the blade fly through the air. Even with Lyle's power-ups, he knew he probably couldn't load a shotgun shell in time to shoot that thing down. But he did have his Explosive-Express Schofield Revolver holstered right at his hip...



    TICK-TICK.​


    Morgan's six-shooter flew out of its holster as time slowed down even further for its master once more, the Pump-Action dropping out of his right hand to be caught by his left. This time, instead of targeting Slade, he targeted the throwing knife.

    KER-PLINK.​

    The satisfying sound of a "X" being painted onto the sharp projectile rang throughout the marksman's mind. As he began to pull down on the hammer of his revolver, the knife continued moving forwards. He could see the tin boy moving forwards to try and intercept it. The knife grew closer... Closer...

    BOOM.​

    A precise revolver round soared forwards at the knife, intercepting it mid-flight with its explosive impact. As a result, the knife exploded into shrapnel due to the sheer force of the Schofield bullet, peppering the area around Len and Alphonse with miniature metal shards but nothing more.

    Turns out that Len wasn't the only one that was gaining attention. The Deathstroke hunter seemed to especially hate the cowboy now that he'd chunked away a huge portion of the guy's futuristic armor. As Deathstroke yelled asking what Arthur specifically was, he merely shook his head.

    "I'm just a concerned citizen," was all the shootist replied- taking words out of Dutch's mouth as he slung his empty Pump-Action back over his shoulders. However, it turns out he wouldn't get another chance to fire away- instead, Deathstroke began firing bullets at Arthur moments after the latter had saved Len from the knives.

    This time, he didn't even need his Deadeye to move or comprehend what was going on. His immediate instinct was to dive off to the side, his agility amplified by Lyle's power-ups. Thanks to the wizard, Arthur mostly dodged the hailstorm of bullets directed his way. He could even "see" the rounds zooming past him- one came close to hitting him in the brain, but instead nicked his hat. In turn, when Morgan hit the ground, he found himself hatless for the time being.

    He wouldn't get an opportunity to properly regain his footing, either- In moments, Slade had shot one of those exploding barrels, violently rocking the balcony that Arthur, Takemi, and Psycho had all been perched on. Morgan just barely hung on as the railing tilted sharply towards the ground below. He grit his teeth as he smacked the railing hard, probably bruising him in the process. Both his Grappling Lasso and his Gambler Hat fell off and landed in front of the Porter, leaving him and his companions with no safe way down.

    "Shit!" was all he managed to grunt from his unstable position. Things looked bad until Alphonse and the Ice-cold Ninja came to the rescue, the former creating new structures and the latter freezing up the supports for further reinforcement. This bought Arthur enough time to get back up and off of his supporting position on the railing, and allowed him to spot the brand-new flight of stairs.

    "Alright, it's time to get the hell away from here before the whole floor collapses!" He declared as he sprinted his way towards the stairs, focusing mostly on getting down first before doing anything else. Lyle's Up-and-Down certainly didn't hurt, either, as he moved faster than he normally would and likely with the agility of a track athlete. During this whole time, he made sure to keep an eye on everything going on with his Map- and one thing that caught his eye was the flying woman shooting a Gatling Gun.

    "Stop shooting so crazy, you moron- Y'er gonna get one of our own killed!" He berated Noel all while he sprinted down the stairs to rejoin the main group.

”Right. Where do the two of us go, then?”

I look at the surroundings. Right now, the room is not quite as immaculate as it used to look; the floor is crumbling, and there may as well be a bit of a mess on the walls, too. The only thing we could even stand on is the propane tank platform, but with the amount of them on it, it’s not quite safe. Now, what else is in the room...

    Strategizing
    Secret Room
    Interaction    : Double, Aeon, Rin, Len, Takemi, Lion, Morgan, Sub Zero, Blake, Group​

    He was getting tired.

    Full Drive, on top of Up N' Down, Map, Real Spec, and Select, was mentally taxing. If Lyle was in top condition, using this many Skills at a time would be no problem. However, he had been fighting, running, using magic, and using Skills nonstop for hours without rest. He needed to conserve mana. Otherwise, he would faint from mana exhaustion. He should refrained from using magic -- after they defeated Deathstroke.

    Len's analysis of Deathstroke was alarming. Excellent marksmanship on top of swordsmanship? He never expected to met another prodigy in this different universe! His analysis on how to counter such a man was correct. Similar to how he fought Celes, to defeat such a man, limit his options.

    "Nice job-" Lyle froze mid-sentence. His hastened mind caught Deathstroke shooting a knife at Len. He was too far to leap. Spells- not enough time for Barrier. Light Shield wouldn't be strong enough. Aeon and Double- no! His only option was-

    A shot from the gunslinger sent the knife away before he could take action. The oppressing feeling in his chest was lifted. Lyle let out a breath he was holding. Len was safe. Thank Goddess. He would have to thank him after all of this was over. Lyle focused his attention on Deathstroke once more after he was sure Len was safe.

    "You hear Len! Tactic to defeat, surround and limit! His largest asset speed is sealed. All that is left is to overwhelm him with attack and incapacitate him!"

    Lyle maintained the activation of Up N' Down and Full Burst to give the group speed advantage over Deathstroke. Thanks to the gunslinger's interference, he didn't move with his plan to use Shuffle on Len. That would have stopped him from using his any other Skills.

    He didn't make another attack, instead focusing on maintaining his support Skills.

    Psycho finally responded while trying to consintrate “Jerome, things are - Fuck, BLOODY HELL!”

    Jerome heard cursing as Psycho eyed the support beam holding up the balcony.

    But it appeared al saved them from falling. The marine eyed the others and looked at the stairs, prepping for for potential impact. Something bothered the normally stony faced man. Weakness had crept up on him through actually caring for everyone who died. Every death reminded him of war except on a different battlefield. Nobody was truly expandable here, right.


    He turned on Maximum Armor.

Leon exchanged a few quick blows with the mercenary before he managed to kick the knife from his hands. As things were shaping up, he would be more of a glorified distraction than anything else, but he knew what really mattered here was the teamwork; the openings they were creating mattered. Without a moment to spare a multitude of attacks sent the room into an uproar of energy and explosive sound as Leon drew his .50 caliber pistol without a moment to lose. They couldn't take this man alive. Deathstroke had said it himself "You people use restraint! I have no such methods!" and as much as he hated to fall down to the same level things were getting dangerous for his comrades. A spear missing one there, a bullet taking hair off of one, and anvils of tension shaving years off of the life of anyone involved.

Leon took a deep breathe and waited for the moment to strike between the hailstorm of attacks that would surely be coming. He was used to enemies coming from strange directions, Lickers from the ceilings and walls, biters at your ankles, and he was going to put his past experience to use. Leon steadied his swaying arms and went for Deathstroke's exposed head with his next shot. He was used to aiming for the head.

No mercy.

Aeon & Double​

Aeon was trying to take a look on what happened to her swords. She saw one of them getting hit as the other missed. She gave a big laugh as she saw it hit near his groin. She realized that two swords were coming at them. "Double! Harden, now!" The other side of her wall became hardened which bounced off the swords. She proceeded to look at her surroundings, the man seemed to not notice them anymore as he was busy focusing on the other people. She felt like she almost fell but, some kind of magic was surrounding the floor now. Double looked at Aeon, "I believe I can crawl from above, the man seems to be distracted. Your Holiness, could you kick him up? I'll position myself above him." Aeon nods and proceeds to prepare her magic as Double transforms into a monster-looking spider. She goes above the man's head. Some saliva should be dripping, she waits for Aeon's input. Double and Aeon exchange looks as she proceeds to kick the man up, she widens her mouth, showing a bunch of sharp teeth. If the plan works, she should be able to decapitate the man with a single bite. If not, she could probably just do bite on him.

Noel

The Armour was starting to take its toll.She could feel the headache from earlier return with reinforcements creating an unbearable feeling of being burnt..Only the burns were inside. Seething with hatred she could feel the armour itself beckon her to give into her desire to kill her teammates as much as the adversary.

"Swords...Ineffective...Sleipnir...Ineffective..." Noel was mulling over her limited arsenal..She knew her shotguns would be useless at this range...She noticed that she could call back all of her swords now, suspending them next to her mid air.

"How's this for restraint!"

Flying around she hovered to the where the cowboy and a few others have been standing before hovering near them "I heard you need some extra firepower" she shouts as you see her railgun transform into a minigun. Quickly it starts spinning up and firing in a wide spray of bullets with all the accuracy of a Stormtrooper. She tried to keep the spray focused around the Assassin's body ,albeit struggling to control the recoil, hoping not to hit anyone with stray bullets..That would be pretty bad.

The face of the enemy was as visible as his hatred for them.

PaRappa shrugs slightly as he finds a spot and sits down "Mint Choc Chip, I guess?

He was still struggling to come to terms with how Leo had just died right in front of himself. So soon after he'd promised to protect everyone.

"I miss my friends" he admits, lowering his head into his knees, closing his eyes and picturing those happy, simple times back home. Things would never be the same after this...After all he'd seen, all he'd been through. Could he ever go back to being a happy kid again?

Takemi slammed into the railings as the balcony nearly collapsed. She clung to the railing for dear life, expecting it to be the only thing between her and the high drop. She should have expected something like this to happen; the lower fighters couldn’t keep Deathstroke distracted forever, and there was no way someone like him would leave them alone to take pot-shots at him from above. However, the balcony’s shuddering eased, and Takemi opened her eyes. Pillars of ice and concrete were more or less stabilizing the balcony, and they’d made a set of makeshift stairs as well. She let out a shaking breath. Right, no good staying up here anymore if it could collapse again at any minute. Takemi took a hasty retreat, massaging her bruised shoulder. She’d need to thank their rescuers after the battle.

Everyone else was still fighting, launching attack after attack towards Deathstroke. She needed to keep helping too, but it would be harder to see everything that was going on from the ground, even with Lyle’s skills. Plus, Deathstroke stood on top a shelf full of tankers, which could easily explode if they weren’t careful. There was an idea though, she thought, light up the tanks and finish Deathstoke once and for all. He’d do the same to them, given the opportunity. But they weren’t like him, or at least, she wasn’t. She didn’t know if she could kill another person, and she wasn’t about find out today. She’d keep to her current tactics: walling off Deathstroke’s exits with lightning, keep out of the melee fighters’ way.

Len felt, accomplished. He had managed to offer that special something only he could to the party, information that'd help them in the long run as the fight progressed. He felt, needed, important, with a huge satisfied grin on his face. And then reality had decided to strike back.

"I thought I told you to get outta here, kid!"​

"I did! And then I came back because I wanted to do my part too!", he had replied, a little frustrated by the cowboy's reaction.

The next hit had come in the form of a beep. His console's beep, warning him that battery had lowered to the 20% after that little display. Entering auto power saving mode, the speakers and holo-screens faded back into nothing, not even the typical cluster of pixels this time, it was more like a glitch. One moment they were there, the image distorts and then they were gone.

It had begun sinking in that no matter how much assistance he had just provided to the group, he had turned his own situation a lot worse and a lot quicker.
In other words, he had fucked big time.

The final hit in the gut of the daydream had been almost a physical hit on the male vocaloid. He had called too much attention. The past times they twins had used Real Spec, the enemy hadn't been smart enough to direct a hit directly at the information givers. As expected, Deathstroke was in a different level and had no qualms with sending a knife straight at him with an impressive 70 kilometer per hour throw. Normally knives wouldn't be a trouble to Len.

But one at this speed definitely was.

"Y-you don't like ice-cream?!", Willow's words had been a shock for the female vocaloid, as if she had just heard the most mind-blowing thing in the multiverse, "H-how can anyone not like such a nice, cold and sweet treat!"

Rin was baffled, absolutely baffled that someone like Will existed right now. She could even properly acknowledge Para's Mint Choc Chip pick while trying to process that someone didn't like ice-cream... At all!

"You at least have a favorite dessert then, right?"

That's when Len's announcement had stopped echoing in the background and with a new barrage of attacks at the dual-colored man, the girl's attention had been into watching them fight, focused apprehensively on her brother that had been sticking to one of the corners. She hoped, she prayed, she saw him look away for a second towards his console, then the chosen items flick and disappear. Oh no, Rin knew very well what that meant and had been about to yell at him for it but then...

The other held a knife, staring in the direction of her distracted sibling.

"Ah! Len! LOOKOUT!!!"

Her shout had been a little too late, and all Len had time to see was the pointy metallic end of the object travelling towards his face. There had been nothing but fear in the vocaloid's gaze for a split-second before two other individuals. Alphonse and Arthur had moved themselves to defend the foolish sibling. One had tried blocking the thing with their arm, the other had effectively shot it in mid-air and changed its trajectory. Len could barely believe his goddarn luck and released a gasp he didn't even know he was holding.

"Ah! T-thank you!!", he had bowed down at Alphonse, still in shock, and then the other boy had told him to get to safety. With a nod of his head, knowing just how improbable what had just transpired could have been, he had begun doing just that.

Which had been good timing, because Aeon and Double seemed to have a plan in mind, and his fleshy wall cover had become more of a spider and moved away from his spot. His mission had come to an end, now he just had to let the others handle this. As he ran back towards Porter, more voices and attacks echoed in the background of the battlefield, including Lyle shouting instructions from above the big robot. As much as he had fucked up, hearing that he had helped somehow was still a point of pride for the young vocaloid, though now it felt more bittersweet than in the start.

Somehow having stayed clear of the flying mecha girl's frenetic shots, he probably had Lyle's speed boost to thank for that, the male sibling had made it into the safe compartment of Porter at last.

"You, idiot!", to receive a wack in the head as a welcome, "I told you to be careful and what do you do? You check your console with a knife flying your way, because that makes a lot of sense and-!"

Len just hugged his sister out of nowhere, if anything he was really glad that he still could do that after that scare. Rin was taken aback, her scolding session disarmed completely.

"Tadaima" (I'm back) "O-okaeri..." (Welcome back), she reciprocated the hug, "Don't you ever scare me like that again, okay?" "I promise."

Sitting beside Rin, Len joined the tiny safe-zone party, still accompanying the rest of the conflict from where he was.

"Oh right, there's more people here...", the male vocaloid averted his gaze in embarrassment, "Uhh, I hope she has been treating you well..." Rin crossed her arms at that with a 'hunf', feeling slightly offended. "She made the ice-cream flavor question again, didn't she?"

Standing up slowly, the dog watched as Len almost took a knife to the face, gritting his teeth as he wished he could do something "That guy's a real jerk" he mutters, looking around for anything that could help them in their fight. Nothing to be found that could serve as a weapon or power up. Then, he watched as people defended Len. The same way Len had defended him.

It reminded him of how the Big Daddy defended his Little Sister. He smiled slightly at the memory. He missed those simple times where people were fighting, but it was fun. He wished the strong fighters he'd met back then were here now. They'd be able to help out against this bully in his weird suit of armour. He just wanted this to end. He wanted to beat up that stupid jerk who shot Leo. He hated that people were getting hurt because that jerk wanted more money.

He grips his hands around his skateboard firmly, staring at it as he felt that complex mix of emotions. Anger, sadness, a desire to help, and a sense of uselessness.

Hyde couldn't help but crack a fang filled grin as he watched Deathstroke get chipped away at bit by bit. Yet the man had some sort of pride left, enough to go throwing insults about fighting methos. He snorted, knowing the situation he'd been put in made his fighting style difficult. If he were alone he'd be having some entertainment batting the mercenary around and grinding his bones into a fine powder.
"Big talk Deadman." He snapped, pulling both his machete out of the ground and taking Deathstroke's sword. He was content with the extra blade despite its gaudy appearance.
He looked around as the mercenary dropped in and out of visual range, succeeding with hiding in smoke. But it seemed the monster nun was making a move to decapitate the man, Hyde watched eager to witness some bloodshed.

    Steve wouldn't bother to listen to whatever Captain America and Jerome would be talking about, it was clearly a concept beyond his understanding of the world. What was even an "army". Nonetheless when Jerome made clear that there wasn't anything else of interest inside of the room Steve would chime in his own opinion.

    "We all respawned... woke up here. In my opinion, unless we are pressued by some outside influence waiting here for other people to die might be a good idea."

Continued from here.

The Story So Far
After narrowly escaping a group of Cobblepot's hoard of creatures, which Midna revealed were called "Shadow Beasts", everyone managed to make it out of the room except Jerome, who died trying to hold them off. The group trekked on, however, making their way through a dark corridor hidden behind a bookshelf. The group eventually found themselves splitting up once more, this time a left path and a right path.

On the left path, the group encountered an array of security monitors which were monitoring the entire facility. The two notable ones were one which was linked to Cobblepot's office, revealing that he was working with a mysterious man. In exchange for the 'Shadow Beasts', the man required The Tesseract from Cobblepot. Cobblepot informed him of the group's infiltration, to which the man replied that he would take care of the group himself before leaving. The other camera revealed a vault, which is where the Tesseract was being held. Although they didn't know where the vault was, they could assume that it was in the building with him. Meanwhile, Lyle found a strange device in the room, although he decided to store it for later.

In the other path, the group found one of the aforementioned Shadow Beasts chained up, having been experimented on. They freed the beast from captivity after Midna explained that they were once people of her realm, who were corrupted and turned to beasts by a dark magic. They then encountered the scientist who had allegedly been enacting the experiments and interrogated him, and he revealed that Cobblepot intended to harness their energy, called "Twilight", to develop weapons.

After this, the group made their way back into the facility itself, only to encounter Deathstroke, who proceeded to kill both Leonardo Watch and Ike Plymont with a bullet to the head.

Meanwhile, Jerome woke up alongside Steve in the lab and, after doing some investigating, found the body of Robert E. Cerf, who had died earlier and apparently been brought back as well, before subsequently dying again, allegedly by the burn marks on his torso. Before they could make heads or tails of the situation, Captain America and Spider-Man made their way into the lab, alongside a newly revived Leo and Ike.

Chapter Four
“Getting Closer”


The ensuing attacks on Deathstroke had caused the man to finally be defeated, though not killed. Instead, he simply fell to one knee, tightly clutching the armor plating which he had there. He looked up through harsh, panted breaths, smirking.


“You all... fought well.” He said, slowly reaching behind him. Pulling out what appeared to be a button of some sort, one which was a lot like the one Cobblepot held what felt like years ago, the assassin quickly slammed his thumb down on the button. Your heads didn’t explode, surprisingly enough, however you all felt… weaker. It was like something in your body was draining every last bit of energy you had, and as you tried to move even the smallest of inches…


You found that you couldn’t.


Shiki, who was somewhat immune to the effects of the chips, had slowly begun to take steps towards Slade despite the unbearable weight on her entire being. However, having the upper hand still, Deathstroke grabbed his pistol and quickly shot her between the eyes, causing the warrior to fall dead to the ground within a matter of seconds.

“However, despite your efforts, you all ultimately lost in the end.” The man said, slowly standing to his feet and brushing his suit off as he began stepping towards all of you. Twirling his gun in his hand, the man looked forward to Arthur specifically. “You have my respect, Morgan. Which is why I’m going to kill you next.” He said, before aiming his handgun towards Arthur’s head…

Only nothing happened. Except a loud thud, which could be heard just as Deathstroke had cocked his gun. You all would find yourselves able to move again, and as you looked up you’d find none other than the imp some of you had come to know as Midna, standing on top of Slade’s stomach as the old man found himself struggled to even move.

Midna-s-Fury-the-princess-of-twilight-25573354-468-237.jpg


“Enough of these games!” Midna exclaimed through grit teeth, her tiny fists balling up beside her as she leaned close to Slade’s face, stepping on his neck with her foot as she did so. “Tell us where The Tesseract is.” She demanded in a voice which, despite her high voice, oozed with authority.

Deathstroke only let out a choked out laugh as Midna stepped on his neck. “Y-You really think that Cobblepot would trust me with information such as that?” He hissed out, letting out an even bigger, more strained laugh than before. “Y-you’re even more stupid than I--”


BAM!


Without a second thought, Midna’s ponytail formed into a giant, fiery red fist, which connected with Slade’s face, knocking him out.

With a grunt, she faced you all with a solemn expression. “Let’s go upstairs, then. There’s not much more to see here, aside from this idiot." With that, you all left the room, leaving Deathstroke out cold. The man laid upon the cold, concrete floor, breathing heavily as you all exit.

After making your way up some more steps and down a few more halls, the group’s path split up once more. This time it split towards drug manufacturing and weapons development.

“I’m heading down this one.” Midna said, before floating off towards Drug Manufacturing.




Meanwhile, in the afterlife, the Steve nodded towards the few of you that there were. “Alright, well I suppose if everyone here is well rested enough, then we should work on getting you back to your group.”


That’s when you heard it.



Faintly, you heard an oddly upbeat song coming from down the hallway. It was… odd. You hadn’t heard any music before, let alone any music that was this upbeat. And to make things even stranger, you could almost hear someone… singing along with the lyrics. Or rather, something.


“There are no strings..”


The voice was almost robotic sounding in nature. It was deep, almost manly, even. But there was that tone to it that couldn’t help you think that it was something… else.


“To hold me down…”


Clank.

"To make me fret..."

Clank.

“To make me frown…”


Clank.


“I had strings…”


Clank.


“But now I’m free…”


BAM!!!!


That’s when you saw it. A red laser burst through the window, which Captain America managed to block with his shield, deflecting it in the other direction. The face of the elusive singer peered in through the shattered glass.

Soma could not do anything. All he wanted is for Deathstroke to be on their side, but it seems that it won't happen. Shiki's dead and- OH MY GOD MORE FORKED PATHS! Seriously, has the guy ran out of ideas?! Anyways, Soma turned to his usual companions and say "What do you think? I'd say we go to the direction opposite to the imp." He is referring to the weapons development.
