The brothers acknowledged Cinder and her crew with a slight smile. How nice of them to not only agree to take them, but to take this small family, too! Mario and Luigi acknowledged Mark's explanation about his son with a thoughtful, slow nod. They would have said more, but Cinder, Mercury and Emerald began to get moving- which was fair enough. They had kept them standing around for far too long. After the pleasantries between everybody were exchanged, Cinder lead them to the docks, and they came face-to-face with what they would assume is what they were calling a "Bullhead"- certainly not like the airships they've seen back home. It was smaller, sure, but it looked like it belonged in a science-fiction novel; it seemed to have two enormous jet engines on both sides pointing downwards, attached to an impressively sleek and rather cool-looking chassis. They should pitch this idea to the Princess when they get back home! Imagine seeing these flying over the Kingdom's skies! Bowser wouldn't stand a chance.

Suddenly, the side of the aircraft opened with a hiss, startling the brothers to a certain degree. Inside, they could see that they hadn't exactly put a whole lot of the budget into decoration. Fair enough- it's a transport aircraft, not a hotel, but they couldn't shake the ominous feeling it gave off. At least it had cushioned seats and windows. The brothers jogged up the steps and took their seats as they waited for the others to board.

"Alrighty! To Amity Coliseum!" Mario commented. He kicked back, seizing the opportunity to relax. Luigi tried to make himself comfortable, but he was frantically searching for a seatbelt of some kind. Clearly, he hadn't been in anything like this before.

Marcus and Zach continued to follow the group throughout the docks , not uttering a singel sound. It was a lot better to stay quite and follow in this type of situation. It wouldn't be too long before they were face to face with the vessel known as 'Bullhead' . It was a very impressive vessel . Marcus whistled to himself, while Zach looked with a glistened face. He was definitely surprised as well .All of them aboarded the vessel .

Marcus looked a bit nervous. The Child did too. A Colosseum heavily implied that a fight of sorts would be taking place. Neither of them had combat experience whatsoever, so unfortunately they were going to ave to heavily rely on the assistance of their current company . The two decided to stand on said aircraft , with Marcus carrying Zach the entire way through.. How Marcus was able to carry Zachary the entire time they were on said Bullhead was a unknown mystery. The Bullhead's design was incredibly impressive, as if it was built for the act of aerial combat . Zach simply awed in silence, making the first audible sound outloud the entire voyage as they took off.

Zach still was a lot more nervous as he knew for a fact something bad may happen. He doesn't know what it is, but as he frantically looked from side to side, he could honestly tell. He doesn't want his daddy to be hurt at all . As he became more and more stressed out, and his breathing became more quickened and heavy ,a rainbow colored aura with a layer of silver and red unto of the rainbow aura started intensifying , bringing an intense heat with it. It was his power manifesting, out of fear . However, before anything escalated, a soothing voice however entered Zach's eardrums, coming from his father. It was saying " Calm down... It's going to be okay " . With that, the aura disappeared, and Zach hugged his daddy appropriately . These two have been through a lot together.

"Yeah, that's tonight." Ryuga answered the now excited Monika, "Or I guess 18:00 if you wanna get technical."

"Yes, and there wouldn't be enough time to start the Tournament's opening program if that were to be case." The Blonde woman answered as she then stood up. "If you all wouldn't mind, I'd have to leave."

"Oh? Is there an urgent matter?" The plump professor asked, a magnificent brow raised.

"Yes. Ozpin needs my presence." The Blonde said, as she soon walked over to the Docking bay of the Colosseum.

"Huh...We should probably go now, huh?"

"Don't get too excited, you two." Mercury said to the brothers, "We're just gonna be there to register for the Tournament. It's probably gonna start the show tomorrow since the registration would probably end sometime tonight."

Before too long, a man clad in a white and black outfit with orange hair. He held a black cane while rocking a dapper black bowling hat stepped into the ship from the pilot's cockpit.

"Alright, is everybody seated?" The man asked, his cane tapping the ground. Seeing as everyon was he wasted no time giving a smile. "I'm Roman Torchwick, by the way. Owner and pilot of this aircraft. For now though..." He soon stepped back into the cockpit as the doors closed. "Enjoy the ride!" The Bullhead then lifted off the ground, heading for the Amity Colosseum. There were quite a few people in this aircraft. Most of them related to Cinder one way or another. Cinder would soon notice the strange aura coming from Zach, a multicolored aura, one unseen before in all of Vale...This intrigued her.

"What a strange Aura your son has..." Cinder told Zach's father. "It's much more unique than the Aura this Kingdom's Huntsmen has trained with...Might I ask how he unlocked it?" She asked, curious to see if she can implement this into her own plans...

When the nurse squeezed the bottle into her breasts, Sento couldn't help but be curious if the bottle's effects will be activated when she moves around. He knows for sure that by shaking the bottle, you temporarily gain it's powers. He might ask how that turns out later.

Sento took out the photos and folded one of them, symbolizing that one of them's finished. Now which one should he go for next? Three women remain. The catgirl, the circus performer, and the student.

"Hmm...That school should be nearby..." Sento said as he studied the girl's uniform, deciding to go for her next...

--Shadow Operatives--
Tatsumi Port Island, Iwatodai Base

The group descended into what appears to be a military base of some sort. Walls made out of metal and marble as several soldiers clad in black were walking about, some giving orders, some were handling equipment. However, the most notable feature are their red armbands with the letters 'SO' on them. The two walked along the base, heading towards the meeting room when a blue haired girl in a white dress with cuffed sleeves approached the group. She also has the same Red Armbands as the others.

Spoiler: Yamagishi

"Ah, there you guys are! Mitsuru's already..." The woman began before noticing Josuke's presence. "Oh hello there, who is this person?" She spoke in a somewhat soft, and sweet sort of voice, yet her tone is somewhat serious at the time being.

"This is Josuke Higashikata." Ken introduced Josuke. "He's the source of that powerful presence you felt a few weeks back. He's a student at Gekkoukan High."

"It's nice to meet you, Higashikata-kun." Fuuka smiled, "I'm Fuuka Yamagishi, the Shadow Operatives' Main Engineer and Mitsuru's secretary. Now I'm sure you have a lot of questions right now, but trust me, we'll answer them when we get to the meeting room." The group soon moved along the halls...

 

[Zamasu]

On the back of the photo of the student is a writing that tells her location and some notes to be mindful of. It reads "We have been observing this peculiar girl. She has a Parasite for hair and her blood is related to the Medici Mafia, though she is unaware of that. She currently resides in Maplecrest and is attending school. She is a good girl, though she can be naive at times unless her Parasite says so. A lot of students are fearful for her due to her relation to the mafia and her Parasite. Getting her recruited will be a tough one, so proceed with caution."

Josuke Higashikata
-Tatsumi Port Island-

Josuke followed the group down the stairs and into some sort of military base. He was surprised upon seeing this. "W-What is this place?" He asked "How is a military base sitting underneath a dormitory?" Just then, a blue-haired girl approaches them and Ken introduces to her to Josuke. The girl is later identified as Fuuka Yamagishi, the organization's main engineer and Mitsuru's secretary. "Um, nice to meet you, Yamagishi-san." Josuke greeted with a mix of politeness and nervousness. "Geez, is this day gonna get weirder or what?" He thought as he follows the group down along the halls.

"I see." Vortex said in understanding, as to why the Atlas Specialist had come along. Winter was loyal and trustworthy, that he understood. "So much for making an entrance..." The Commander muttered, sounding rather disappointed about the window thing. "I'll be there shortly." With that, he cut the connection as he took control of his avatar body to make a personal appearance, rather than connections and proxy units previous times. He would have silently smiled if he had a mouth, since this was effectively the first time his new avatar model had a chance to leave his base's testing facilities. Taking control, his new body shot into the sky and boosted towards Vale. The whole journey only took a few minutes due to his teleportation network and his body's speed.

The rest of the main members of the Ozluminati had arrived when Vortex appeared. The lift doors opened, and the hulking, robotic form of his Mark III Dedicated Command Combat Chassis stepped into the room, making rather loud, heavy, and metallic clanking steps when it walked in.

Spoiler: Mark III Dedicated Command Combat Chassis

At just under seven feet in height, the platform was taller than everyone else in the room. Based on the schematics of a wrecked Iron Legion drone that had found itself half-buried in the sands of the Mojave Wasteland, the Mark III DCCC was a platformed designed to be a massive step above the frontline troops of the Vortex Syndicate, and one specifically meant to be inhabited by the Commander's consciousness. Made to be a visual representation of himself, the unit was packed to the brim with weapon and sensor systems, along with hardened progenium armour plating. The lack of any need for a human occupant meant that much more systems could be fitted in that empty space.

Similar to the drone it was reverse-engineered from, the Mark III utilised repulsor technology as both propulsion and weapons. The repulsors were located on its palms and feet, along with an additional thruster pack located on its back, which allowed it to achieve supersonic flight. A massive, shoulder-mounted electrically charged plasma cannon could be deployed when needed, folding back into a slot between the two thrusters on the Mark III's back. There were also multiple other weapons that could be deployed hidden in multiple places, such as an arm missile launcher. The platform was protected by the best shielding tech the Commander was able to salvage from the Dust, allowing it to essentially mimic Aura. To top it all off, the unit was powered by an Arc Reactor.

The Commander definitely wished he could armour it up with some vibranium plating, but there was a serious lack of the stuff on Rapture. So he had to settle with painting it his signature two blues.

It was the first time the group had seen his new body, and one of the first times he had made a physical appearance.

"Evening everyone," He began in greeting, taking a step forwards. "I asked Ozpin to call you all here because I'd like to discuss a recent development of heightened importance, namely the convergence of separate timelines."

The blind dogs continued barking and growling, and some even attempted to climb the tree, though failing miserably in the process. Then a series of shots rang out, and in the blink of an eye, the dogs flopped to the ground, dead. A figure appeared from behind a bush, dressed in dark green camo, his hood shadowing his face. He held an AKM-74/2 with a grenade launcher in his hands.

"Эй, ты! Ты в порядке?" The figure called out in a rough, male voice. He stepped into view, the little light illuminating his features.

Marcus was holding Zach rather tightly to him, knowing that one of the others referred to his son's aura. Okay, this was a bit complicated to explain. The man took a deep breath, and responded in a calm and collected tone. " Well mam... The Multi-Colored aura is one that only those who have become a... ' Mutant of Totality ' . Only Mutants as powerful as Frankie Richards and her descendants/incarnations can utilize such a aura. The silver and red combination on top of it signifies two things. The silver layer implies Zach has become an unrivaled mutant power wise, and the red indicates that he surpasses his fullest potential without external assistance. With external assistance, it would be gold instead . Basically what I'm saying ... Is you cannot use this power unless granted by the Mutants, as they earned the aura . Each of the colors represents a concept they have absolute control over. Since he has all of the possible variations... Yeah it's complicated. I calmed Zach down as this aura is dangerous uncontrolled. Last thing we need is a world void of the concepts that keep it stable " . He said in the exact wording of a professor. Well, prior to resigning , he was a leading scientist in mutations in World's Beyond/My Son Zach verse.

"No... I... guess not. But if you're not going to eat me, could you put me down?"

Ken looked back from her to the dogs which had finally arrived, watching as they barked at them from the base of the tree and their futile attempts to climb up the tree. "So that those things can? I'll deal with them, then I'll set you down." Another large tendril came from Ken's lower back, looking just as large as the other one. It was primed to strike down at the dogs, ready to pierce through their skulls or bodies with succession until the gunfire came in.

The dogs were swiftly killed, and someone had came into view. Another person speaking a language he had no way of speaking in. Wonderful. He was dressed like some of the men he'd found dead when he arrived. "Well..that's one problem solved. Here.." He began to bring the small squid-person down slowly, his kagune stilled wrapped around them for their own good. Was he still immune to regular bullets here? The man certainly wouldn't have Q-Bullets. He didn't want to small squid to get shot to pieces with him being to blame.

"You speak English, yes?" Ken called out to the man down below before sliding off the branch, his kagune wrapping around the branch to help ease his fall. He landed with a rather simple 'thump' on one of the dogs, looking to the man and slowly raising his hands up in a non-threatening matter. No point in making this turn to shit early on. He completely forgotten his mask was still off. "I'm not one of those deformed creatures. So I ask that you don't shoot me."

God did he hope the man spoke English.

The man seemed to consider Ken's words for a while, before nodding in understanding. "Да, да. I speak English." He said, his accent heavy but at least understandable. Though his Kalashnikov was lowered, his grip was tense, and it seemed like he was he was ready to snap it up and fire at any second. He was obviously put off by Ken's kagune. "What are you?" He asked, gesturing over to the ghoul's tentacles. "Some kind of mutant or something?"

Cinder was visibly intrigued by what Marcus explained about his son's...Unique Aura. Apparently, it's powers are similar to that of the Maiden Powers, but more exemplified and akin to the Wizard which the powers originated from. But, unlike the Maidens nor the Wizard, Zach has no control and is activated by his emotions. A plan brewed on her mind. This boy...Is a living calamity. Disable the limiter, and all hell would break loose. But for now...Things should go the way they intended to.

"And an unique power it is..." Cinder gasped in a bit of shock. "Somehow...Your child's predicament reminds me of a 'Fairy Tale'...Would you care to hear it?"

While Vortex was out, Qrow didn't seem to arrive in any way, shape, nor form. However, the only who arrived after Atlas' Military representatives was Glynda Goodwitch.

When Vortex arrived, all 4 of them weren't exactly in awe. Vortex's body was more akin to Atlasesian Soldiers--At least, the robotic kind, but the shoulder cannon was a nice touch.

"Has anyone seen Qrow?" Ozpin asked, as all three of them shook their head. Ozpin swore he shot everyone a message. Perhaps a call would wake him up.

"Convergence?" Ozpin inquired when Vortex mentioned the meeting's topic. "Do explain more.

"Damn...I need a drink." A groogy, old man's voice similar to that of Qrow's managed to mutter out as a person who looked similar...No, EXACTLY like Qrow walked along the sidewalk where the other Qrow was walking along. This 'Qrow' looked at the other with a raised brow. "...Who are YOU supposed to be?" Qrow asked, almost growling. He felt that this Qrow was part of her plans...

The Commander glanced out towards the horizon, observing as the sun slowly began to set over the city of Vale. "I'll look for him," He offered, tapping into his surveillance network. "He's probably wasted in a bar or something. I'll survey all the possible bars in town and his most recent locations." Hundreds of Flybots got to work, searching for the drunken bringer of bad luck throughout the city.

He turned back to the group and nodded, deciding to begin his explanation. "Yes, the convergence of timelines. It's a topic I've been researching ever... since..." He trailed off as something seemed to have caught his attention.

Then he suddenly froze for a single second. Without any warning, he fired off his repulsors and shot out the window, shattering the glass as he streaked towards the city, in the direction of the setting sun.

'So all I have to do is...Convince the hair, and we're good.' Sento thought as he rode towards Maplecrest, although he stopped at a local coffee shop to drink refuel for the long night he's up for. 'The problem isn't the girl, no, just say 'You can be a Hero!' or something and she'll probably be keel over...Well, that motive worked for Banjo so...' He soon went back for the bike and rode off towarsa Maplecrest. 'It's either we have to gain the Hair's interest...Or we have to convince him by combat...Again."

"This place is the current base of operations for the Shadow Operatives, one of the only military force in charge of preventing Grimm from getting into the city." Fuuka explained to Josuke as they head for the meeting room. "It was built the moment the city was 'transitioned' into Exodus." The group then arrived at the meeting room. Several Personnel were sitting on their seats, including one of the men Josuke saw earlier.

"Welcome, Take a seat." A red haired, elegant looking lady clad in a black skinsuit welcomed the group as they each took a seat at the table. The woman may look familiar as she is the current CEO of the Kirjo Corp. She soon spotted Josuke. which appeared to her as the odd one out of the bunch. "And who is he?" She asked, pertaining to Josuke's presence.

"He's our new potential member of SEES." Ken answered. "He's still a bit disoriented about the entire situation."

Before anything was explained, Vortex seemed to spot something intriguing as he froze for a few seconds before he burst out of the Tower glass, shooting off into the city.

"Hmm...So much for our meeting." Ozpin sighed as Glynda used her semblance to repair the damages made by Vortex. He then turned to the General. "While we wait for our dear general, I should ask about the situation on the cities near us?"

"Of course. Some of our robotic troops were en route to the cities that needed them the most." Ironwood stated, "Mainly, the Tatsumi Port Island."

"Ah, yes. Miss Kirijo specifically requested us that in exchange of joining the tournament." Ozpin nodded, "How is that coming along, by the way?"

"Terrible." Ironwood admitted. "The convoy were always destroyed by Grimm right before it crosses the border. We're currently think of sending a couple of Paladins with the convoy just to be safe."

"Good." Ozpin nodded, "Then all we have to do is to find the next Maiden..."

 

[Zamasu]

After some time of driving, Sento arrives at the serene suburb of Maplecrest, known for its abundance of maple trees. The place itself is hilly and the roads are always covered with fallen maple leaves. It is a rather peaceful suburb, but it is not safe from the antics caused by certain individuals. The night is getting old, and Sento needs to find the girl to recruit her. He eventually arrives at the school, but it seems to be closed. Maybe the girl is at home, or whatever place she could be at this hour.

Josuke Higashikata
-Tatsumi Port Island-

"Grimm?" Josuke says upon hearing the name of the monsters "I have heard of those, but never have I encountered them." After a long walk, the group enters a meeting room. There are several personnel seated at the table, and right at the end is the head of the organization, Mitsuru Kirijo. Josuke could not help but look at her outfit and thought "Is she some sort of cougar? Why would an organization have a boss like her?" When she asked about Josuke, Ken introduces him and upon saying that he is going to be a potential member, Josuke jumped in surprise and say "Hey! I did not say anything about joining your group! And besides, I have no idea what is really going on. First I get attacked by some black blob and then you guys came in and took me into this place."

Jotaro Kujo & Beowulf
-Vale-

After having the two signed up, while the night is still young, the men decided to have a little stroll around the city. Of course, people who are walking the night cannot help but follow the legendary wrestler while the crusader is behind them, not minding his presence much to his dismay. "Beowulf is really a famous guy. I'll give him that." Jotaro thought, and then he gets called out by the wrestler. "Jotaro! Wanna get some midnight grub before we go back to the blimp?" He asked after spotting a very well-known restaurant just across the two. "We need to eat up to get ourselves some extra strength for the main event." He added, and then Jotaro replied "Yeah, why not."

The two men went into the restaurant and many people from the inside took notice of Beowulf and recognize him. An attendant approaches the two men and guides them to a very special seat. After getting seated, a waiter arrives and hands the two the menus. Jotaro was about to make a decision when Beowulf suddenly says "We'll have everything on the menu, please." This not only surprises the crusader, but also to the fans and other people. "Beowulf, you sure about eating everything this restaurant offers?" Jotaro asked "You might get a stomach ache after this." Beowulf brushes off the worry of Jotaro and say to him "A wrestler needs to eat plenty to gain a lot of proteins, vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients to maintain a strong, endurable, and also sexy physique. You know what I mean." Jotaro could not say anything else besides a sigh.

After some time of waiting, a number of waiters arrive with literally EVERY food that they have on the menu. After placing them down on the table, one of the waiters says "Bon appetite." Beowulf could not wait to wolf down everything the restaurant offers while Jotaro tolerated his rather stupid and dangerous choice. Beowulf proceeds to eat like an animal while Jotaro eats like a very normal person.

Callie decided that if she was going to be eaten by something, it's probably not going to be this guy, or else he would've already done it, right? Right? Probably. So instead of struggling further, she allowed herself to dangle.

"So that those things can? I'll deal with them, then I'll set you down."

Aah, she hadn't thought of that. Actually, she really didn't want to be put down if it meant either being mauled by whatever was down there, or being stranded in the treetops...

Around now, she heard a few loud gunshots. "AAAH!" Callie screamed at the sudden sound. Who was that? Was that the owner of the voice again? The barking had stopped, and they spoke.

"Да, да. I speak English."

Oh, someone else. Callie couldn't see them on account of the giant tendril wrapped around her midsection, "Hey! Who are you?"

Marcus nodded in agreement. He responded " Yes... He is definitely Unique... But also dangerous It is why I don't trust anyone else with him ... Except for myself " . He said bluntly, showing that he wouldn't give him up for the world. However, as Cinder mentioned some sort of fairy tale that relates to Zach, he promptly raised an eyebrow , clearly somewhat intrigued . Marcus wondered exactly what Fairy Tale compared to the situation his son was in. To say the least, his interest was definitely peaked, however he had no idea what this tale was like and whether or not to truly respond to what the other said.As he thought about it for a few more moments, but then asked, in a careful tone " Sure. I would love to hear it " . The child was asleep, so he wouldn't hear anything that transpired between the two . So, for the most part he doesn't have to worry about the kid waking up . Marcus had no idea whether the fairy tale had a happy or rather bleak ending. He was somewhat careful though of the possibility of this being a trick, covering the child's ears jus tin case something was said that may or may not induce scarring from him in the near future.

"Don't get too excited, you two." Mercury responded, picking up on Mario's cheerful attitude. "We're just gonna be there to register for the Tournament. It's probably gonna start the show tomorrow since the registration would probably end sometime tonight." Ah ha! Tournament! They knew it! What on Earth are they having a tournament for? Sure, it's for the festival, but the morals behind tournaments aren't always tip-top. Tournaments like the Glitz Pit and the Gauntlet were alright, but... they had no way of knowing what this one was about. Both brothers looked at each other and nodded- they'd find out what kind of tournament this was and what it had to do with this festival.

"Hm... registrations? They're-a still open? Maybe we'll give it a shot!" Mario replied. At this assertion, Luigi's jaw could have hit the floor. He didn't mean that when he was thinking 'find out what this tournament is'! Sure, he trusts his brother's judgement, and, thinking about it, it's as good of a way as any of going about things, but... but! Mario's the Glitz Pit Champ, not him!

Before Luigi could voice his objections, a dapper-looking man with orange hair, a bowler hat and a black cane sauntered from the cockpit and into the bay where everyone was seated. He introduced himself as Roman Torchwick, and as the owner and pilot of the aircraft. He wished the passengers a pleasant flight, before the Bullhead took off with a jolt- scaring Luigi stiff, as he hadn't managed to locate his seatbelt yet. He yelped in fright, and desperately tried to hold onto something. He was making an effort not to vomit, too.

"A tale?" Luigi blurted, in response to Cinder. "Yeah! Let's-a hear it!" He continued, enthusiastically. Luigi tended to let his inner child seep out often. Mario sat up intently, ready to listen to what she had to tell them. This Cinder and her crew were proving to be quite the interesting bunch.

Arriving at the peaceful town of Maplecrest, Sento immediately took note of the time. It's almost midnight. Perhaps he should continue this tomorrow or something. Arriving at the school, seeing as it was closed, he decided to drive away and find a local town Inn to take shelther for the night. He was given some pocket money earlier, after all.

Sento rode around town, looking for an Inn to stay at for a while. After several twists and turns, he found a decent Inn to stay at...It's more a hotel, really. A couple of minutes had passed, and Sento settled down in a small, yet comfortable room. They even let him have some spare notebooks left at the apartment! After that. he just spent most of his time there brainstorming the form and design of the capsules, as well as formulas as to how to recreate the Pandora Box's Essence for a special Sparkling Capsule...

"I see. So you're just like the others then." Mitsuru nodded at Josuke's explanation. "Very well. Allow me to explain the situation. As you've noticed earlier, the skies surrounding our city is peculiarly green. We've called this Phenomenon the Dark Hour, and would usually occur from Midnight to 1 AM. Shadows typically spawn from that point of time, and to top it off, many civilians are often found locked in Coffins, usually unaware of the happenings. Along with the Dark Hour is the resurfacing of the Apathy Syndrome in which people loose the ability to care for themselves and turn into a vegetative state. We discovered that when a Shadow devours a person, it doesn't kill them. Instead, it kills their psyche. Those who are found wandering about during the Dark Hour would usually become typical prey of the Shadows and would target weak willed people or, when an Arcana Shadow appeared, strong willed people." The projector soon showed the things Mitsuru spoke of. A typical Blob Shadow, Victims of the Apathy Syndrome, and the Shadow that Josuke faced earlier.

"Since you're walking around in the Dark Hour right now, you have one hell of a will to work with." The shirtless boxer with white hair said with a curious grin. "Chances are, you can get a Persona."

"But he already does, Akihiko-san." Ken refuted, "I've seen it myself."

"Oh really?" The boxer, Akihiko, got even more curious. Mitsuru knew where this is going and put an end to their discussion immediately.

"Back to the situation at hand..." Mitsuru sighed, stopping the two's discussion. "Trying to maintain the City's safety against both the Shadows and the Grimm is no easy task as our numbers fall every single day, so we need more personnel to handle things on the Dark Hour." She soon looked at Josuke. "Since you clearly have the same power as we do, it's only natural that we approach you for assistance."

"Pfft-!" Emerald let out a soft snort, trying to stop herself from laughing at Luigi's hilarious movements. "Calm down, green bean, nothing will go wrong here." She said with a smile, trying to reassure Luigi. "Don't tell me you haven't rode on an airship before?"

"He probably has skysickness." Mercury shrugged as Emerald looked at him with a raised brow.

"I...Is that even a thing?" She asked, baffled by the concept.

"Dunno. Could be a first." Mercury's nonchalant reply. Soon enough, Cinder began to tell Marcus the Story of the Four Maidens.

Spoiler: The Tale of the Four Seasons

Deep in the forests of Remnant, beside a great and mighty river, stood the small, fragile home of a cold, frail man- a lone wizard.

Hidden from the dangers and distractions of the world, the wizard seldom had visitors. But on this day, as he peered out his window, his gaze fell upon a young maiden.

Calmly, she sat beneath his tree in a state of absolute tranquility. When the wizard demanded an explanation, the maiden simply replied, "My name is Winter. I am on a journey, and I am waiting for my sisters."

With that, she closed her eyes and sat in silence.

The wizard told himself the girl was a fool, but the longer she sat, the more he wished to share in the serenity the young maiden enjoyed. In time, he grew tired and decided to close his eyes as well, thinking on this strange predicament.

Upon opening his eyes, the wizard was befuddled to find that a second maiden appeared beneath his tree, cheerful and spry, with a basket of fruit and flowers.

When he asked for an explanation, the girl simply replied,

"My name is Spring. I am on a journey, and I am waiting for my sisters."

To show her gratitude for his reluctant hospitality, the girl retrieved a handful of seeds from her basket and planted them in the wizard's garden.

The old hermit could hardly believe his eyes as the maiden turned what was once a mere pile of dirt and manure into a beautiful garden, from which life would surely blossom.

It's likely he would have gazed for hours, were it not for the unfamiliar laughter he heard from beneath his tree.

A young woman with a warm smile now stood beside the two maidens.

The wizard begged her to introduce herself, to which she happily responded,

"My name is Summer. I am on a journey, and I am waiting for my sister."

"Of course," thought the wizard. But another chirp of laughter left the old man perplexed.

What in the world was so funny?

As it turned out, it was him. The new arrival found the wizard's insistence on staying indoors so very amusing.

Why choose to view the world through a small window when the door leading out to it was right at his side?

It was a compelling argument. And after only a moment of brief hesitation, the wizard left his home -

- and stepped outside.

The warmth of the sun brought with it a surge of energy and life, and soon the wizard wasn't feeling much like himself anymore.

He was feeling much better.

As the day drew to a close, the maidens and the wizard all settled down and prepared a feast. Winter set the table. Spring supplied the crops, Summer prepped the meal, and the wizard was the happiest he'd been in ages.

But in all the excitement, he nearly failed to notice the delicate woman that now stood beneath his tree.

He smiled, and beckoned her to join them, asking only for her name.

"My name is Fall," she replied softly. "I am on a journey, and am here to meet my sisters. Who are you?"

"Me?", the wizard wondered. "Well, I am but an old hermit - I have lived in these woods alone for centuries and I'm afraid my story is not very interesting, as I have no one to love and nothing to my name."

The elder sister looked up at all that surrounded them.

"But sir, do you not see? You have so much."

It was true. With their help, it was now clear to see that the wizard had everything he could ever need. He was grateful, but a question lingered in his mind.

"Why me?", he asked. "Why did the four of you choose to open my eyes? To share with me your gifts? Why am I so special?"

The four sisters looked to one another, perplexed. Finally, the eldest spoke.

"I beg your pardon sir, but we did not do these things for you because you were special. We do what we can for everyone, because we are able."

The old wizard was at a loss. Never in his years had he come across such kindness. It was in that moment that he knew what should be done.

The wizard summoned his magic, every ounce he could muster, and bestowed it upon the sisters.

He smiled. "Take this gift, and know now that you are able to do so much more."

Now armed with the elements, the very powers of nature, and the unimaginable magic of the wizard, the four maidens, Winter, Spring, Summer and Fall, promised to carry on with their journey, using their gifts to aid others, just as they aided him.

One by one, the sisters left. Before they did, they made one final promise.

They promised to return each and every year, to visit their dear friend.

Cinder told the tale like any other storyteller would do. Precise raising and incline, louness and softness of voice and all that other cool stuff. When she finished the story, she looked at Zach.

"You and your son reminded me of the Wizard in that tale, and I thought I'd share it." Cinder remarked as she soon hears more chatter outside the Bullhead. "It appears we've arrived..." The Bullhead soon landed, the doors opening...

"She's probably at Vale...Somewhere." Ryuga said as a Bullhead landed nearby. Ryuga saw this as a chance and walked for it. Waiting for it's passengers to go down. They could probably hitch a ride on this vehicle...

Rhys
Location: Proceeding toward Den Stof (The Dust)
Inventory: Keys to the Hyperion Bolt 4600

Looking elsewhere to be, the one known as “The Salary man” decided to Boogie down the main areas of Opportunity, in order to get out of there and proceed to another area, but not rather did he hear the voice of someone who has gotten into his head and in the end wanted to turn Rhys into a Loader Bot under a new exoskeleton "Citizens of Opportunity! You represent the beginning of a grand adventure. Opportunity is only the FIRST Hyperion city on Pandora. One day you'll be saying, "Bandits? What's a bandit? I can't hear what you're saying over the motor of this free blowjob machine Handsome Jack gave all of us." And that kiddos was the voice of who was once known as “Handsome Jack” who may be dead.... or alive, but most importantly; he was in the hunt for Rhys but not for the good purposes, Jack had the sole purpose of killing him “Jeez, not again“ Rhys said to himself as he was driving yet in opportunity as he then heard Jack say “Oh and don’t forget that I’m looking for Rhys, I want him back in Helios and dead“ It was at this moment that the man driving the Hyperion Bolt 4600 knew he fucked up, but he yet continued to drive further down.



Location: The Dust (Den Stof)
It was a few hours later when Vasquez’s “Arch-nemesis” had gone out of Opportunity, facing himself with not only the problem of Handsome Jack hunting him down, but he in a place full of sand and cactuses/cacti “I’m now free from my shackles.... for now, no one that wants to turn me into their “Army of Jacks” hehe, kiss my ass“ sure enough he may keep thinking that, but not if someone smart enough can track him down and murder his ass, anyway where was I? Ah yes, ehem; Rhys decided to head for the dusty areas in order to explore more into this “Dusty region” and perhaps do a bit of drifting (Initial D style? Ehmm P E R H A P S)

(what a get-together!)

Marie continued to loosely follow Ryuga, distracted by the many sights to be seen. It was quite a night, and it seemed to change drastically as the sun took its lazy course through the sky, and eventually beneath the ground. Ryuga pointed to a helicopter that was coming in for a landing, and began walking towards it. A transport chopper, perhaps? That would make sense.

Marie followed suit, chasing after the helicopter. As the door opened, revealing its passengers, she could hardly believe her eyes. There were about half a dozen passengers, each seeming to have arrived here from vastly different walks of life. From the dull to the rich to the dangerous, these people have been brought here by fate and fate alone. Two of the people, in particular, Marie recognized almost instantly. It was surprising more people hadn't already. Their odd attire, those iconic caps, and that remarkable stature. That could only be...

Marcus nodded at Cinder, heavily thankful at what the person implied. However, before he was able to thank her in full, the doors that originally allowed them access to the Bullhead sprung open, implying they were at their destination. Using a soft whisper, he awoke Zach. "H-hi Daddy...". The boy said in an almost inaudible whisper, kissing Marcus on the cheek. He always spoke in this tone . It wasn't one of mature affection, but one of blissful ignorance and loving innocence. It was the type of love only given and shown between close family members. And , considering the fact that Zach viewed Marcus as the only family he had, it made sense that he was viewed in such a way. He got up from Marcus' lap, and held his father's hand as they exited the Bullhead and made their way over to the meeting place along with the other patrons. As they got there, for the most part Zach wouldn't talk to anyone, due to his massive Social Anxiety issues around others. Technically speaking, the government gave Zach & himself quite a bit of money [Hundreds of Billions + They had servant similar to the President] to make Zach as happy as need be due to how dangerous his powers were, which Marcus never complained about. It was a compromise to allow Zach to be kept with his birth father . However, he also wasn't one to wave around money as if he was arrogant. He was a humble man, at least. Zach's hand starting gripping Marcus' hard,which implied he was somewhat nervous. In fact, he was getting too nervous around them.

Marcus noticed his hand making cracks and blood oozing from the hand in question. He screamed in pain, bending over dramatically, holding his hand in angst . This was one of the worst thing about Zach. He had quite a bit of power, with little to no experience involving it. Zach gasped and hugged his daddy's arm, healing him, and sobbing to himself. This was one of the many reasons Zach admired Batman from DC Comics, or Iron Man from Marvel Comics. They didn't have powers, but could still make a difference in their lives. Unfortunately, the fullest extent of Zach's powers were well beyond the totality of either of their respectable fictions combined , even their respectable Supreme Deities , so even if he could ask Tony Stark and Bruce Wayne directly , they likely wouldn't know the answer at the moment .

"Some kind of mutant or something?"

Ken's released his grip on squid-lady, letting her drop gently to the ground. No point in keeping her wrapped up. She was certainly small, smaller than a person should be..unless they were a child. Or Saiko. His kagune quickly dissipating until there was little left. "Perhaps to you I am. I'm a.." Ken took a moment took really think over his words, his eyes looking over the man's weapon. He was clearly still on-guard about this whole situation. Perhaps it would be best for him to dodge it altogether."I don't know what you'd call me in your language. I must ask..where are we exactly? I see the writing and abandoned buildings, and I can tell I'm somewhere in Europe but..nothing like what I've seen should be here." Never once had Ken tried to find a map during his time here. Nothing to tell him where he was, nothing to say if he was even on Earth anymore.

He was on Earth, right? He didn't know anymore.

"I'm not sure where to even go to leave this place."

NEAR KEN, [REDACTED]
As the tendril lowered her back to the floor, Callie scanned the surroundings for the owner of the voice. After a moment of confused looking about, she pinpointed him. He was rather well-hidden, or she was just had bad eyesight. They were holding a very large-looking rifle of sorts, made out of heavy-looking metal. How could anyone hold something so heavy, let alone aim and fire it? Callie was much more used to the near-weightlessness of the Hero's Dualies, and the weight of the hero's Roller was useful in keeping the tool to the ground.

Speaking of, she reached behind her, swapping the heavy Roller for said Dualies and spinning them around. It felt nice to hold them, after swinging around the weight of the Roller. She closed her hands, stopping the Dualies in their spin, and shook her head to shed a layer of ink. "Hey, what's your name?"

The man was still clearly wary of Ken's apparent reluctance to reveal what he actually was. However, he seemed to understand when Ken asked just where they were, exactly. "You must be new here." He said, relaxing somewhat, although his gaze still seemed to shift between the ghoul and the petite Inkling. "You are in the Zone right now," The man began. "The Chernobyl Exclusion Zone, that is." He wondered if these new arrivals even knew what the Zone was. Of course, not every Zone was filled with anomalies, artifacts, and mutants, but the Zone was still an area on most Earths he'd come to know of. Those were more mundane, non-anomalous ones.

The tiny woman (he assumed she was a woman. She didn't sound like a child) then asked what his name was."My name is Strelok," The man introduced. "I am a Stalker." Strelok turned around and gestured with his gun. "Come on. Let's move. Bandits and mutants frequent this area, so it is a bad idea to remain in the open. There is also no telling when the next blow out will occur." As he began his walk towards the abandoned buildings in the distance, he looked over his shoulder. "What are your names?"

Haru finds herself lying on cold concrete as she regained consciousness, gazing at the skies above her. It looked a tad bit...Abnormal, to say the least. Haru got up and glanced around, spotting the ruins of what appeared to be once a peaceful urban city. She seemed to spot some equipment nearby though. Her personal Grenade Launcher, several ammunition and a long Axe are lying on the floor behind her. She let out a smile, glad to see that she isn't totally defenseless.

She stood up and took the gear, the Grenade Launcher strapped on her back along with the sling of it's ammunitions. Surprisingly, they appear to be much more than she originally had when she was still active as a Phantom Thief of Heart...Perhaps it's an unwarranted generosity, perhaps it's a trap. Nevertheless, she's greatful.

"Now then..." Haru then lifted her axe resting it's pole on her shoulder. "Where exactly is this...?"

The Exclusion Zone? Ken couldn't help but shake his head at that, more from confusion than any sign of distrust from the man's words. "That nuclear plant disaster.." He looked at the deceased dogs nearby, noticing just how scared and mutated their bodies were. "The Zone I remember reading about..it was nothing like this. No horrible creatures, or anything of the sort." Upon the mention of bandits, Ken reached for his mask and decided to place it back on his face as they walked. Perhaps it'd deter someone? Probably not, but it'd be worth a shot. "Strelok..I see." He nodded to himself, inhaling slowly. He looked over to the tiny Inkling, his eyes focusing on her strange weapons for a moment. Should he use his name? Or his title?

"My name is Ken Kaneki. Though..many refer to me as the 'One Eyed King'." It was a relatively pathetic introduction considering his title. He pointed his ungloved hand to the various buildings off in the distance, looking more like a claw than a hand. "I'll take a guess and assume there's neutral zones? Factions? This place..well it frankly has the air of conflict about it." He'd seen that conflict before. It's what allowed him to finally eat after all this time.
