He glared at the man who just introduced him self, not bothering to remember his name. "Okay. Now we charge out." He said and yelled, taking out his katana, the blue flames erupted once more, not harming the red headed girl in his arms. He saw the museum that they were close to them and seeing none of those things there.. Just in case his flames were ready.


He then started to run swiftly to the door, crashing through them, then making sure they are closed. His eyes saw everyone there, no one was like the other things.. He smiled wicked. His demonic voiced ringed out.


"Sorry for crashing in, just a bit panicked here."





He would put the red headed girl down gently and he looked around. Everyone seemed normal. But he kept his demonic form, just in case, he called out with a snarl.


"Anyone a doctor here? I need some help."

"Only a few minutes?" Molly laughed again, this time her face holding a larger smile. "Back where i come from, A few minutes would be your death." Molly moved her dark green eyes to the girl, seeing her staining beauty. The girl had bleach blonde hair, and wore a amazing colored dress.
"My names Molly, I'm from Georgia. How about you?" Molly was ready to stand before the man spoke.

"Ah, then I suppose you should count yourself lucky," Elsa replied with a small smile. "I'm Queen Elsa of Arendelle. I'm afraid I haven't heard to the land of Georgia before." She tucked a lock of her platinum blonde hair behind an ear and sighed. "But that doesn't surprise me. I am quite... a long way away from home." From the look of things Elsa was in a completely new world with many terrible problems.

@Klutzy Ninja Kitty
Cursed? She's not Aes Sedai. She probably doesn't know too much about her powers, perhaps I can teach her? Rand thought, not knowing that she couldn't touch the source and her powers were completely different. "Well, I wouldn't call it a curse anymore, now that I've cleansed Saidin. Unfortunately, I can't touch the source anymore. I'm not sure how I can weave without touching the source, but I somehow can. I can see by the confused look on your face you have no idea what I'm saying, haha. Well, you are not cursed. It is a gift to be able to touch Saidar, I've only briefly held Saidar, only knowing how to dominate Saidin, but I can teach you to guide Saidar to some extant. You'l be able to do much more than freeze," Rand said, gesturing into the air as a sword suddenly appeared. It looked as if it was carved from glass and was very intricately made. "I've just created a sword from air. You'll be able to do such things once I teach you. But for now, we should help the others. As those who have power, it is our responsibility to assist those who don't... I'm Rand by the way, and what would your name be?"

@TheAlmightyEmperor


Elsa's eyes widened as she saw the sword appear in the air. "I've never done something like that. I can create golems of ice along with many other things, but it took me the longest time to learn how to do it. You seem to know what you're talking about though, so perhaps you do know what I am. I'll gladly help any of the civilians and take any advice you have for me." She glanced down at the palms of her hands for a moment before looking up at the man once more. "I'm Queen Elsa of Arendelle. If you haven't heard of me, I wouldn't be surprised. I come from a land very far away," she admitted again, wondering if she should even bother introducing herself as queen anymore if most people from these lands didn't know her.

Perhaps there is more here going on than I know, regardless, it is not my place to question.


Looking at the people grouping together, Jehoel thinks for a moment, coming to the conclusion that everyone should stick together with people they can trust. If he is going to fit in, he should find those he would be most alike, and heads towards some armored folks, one of whom looked completely foreign to him, though friendly. Waiting for a break in the conversation, he simply stands by them for a few moments until he gets a chance to introduce himself, bowing his head slightly in a show of respect.


I am Jehoel, as everyone else here seems to be grouping together, it is likely best if I do the same with you. We are all Armored and armed similarly.


Jehoel waits, listening for their reply, whilst wary of anything sneaking up on them, his wings currently concealed under covers in his plate.

 

[Jeremiah]

*holds you outward looking dumbfounded* How did you know exactly? *starts to think she knows a way home faster than I can get there*

"Ooh! The summoners sent me here on a mission to find you! But I think there was someone else I needed to find too...they didn't say who. They only said two champions were brought here."

 

[Dallas]

I look at my wrist, then back to Dallas. "Oh, my Omni-Tool? Well, it can open the display with my mind, and from there it's like a computer. There's also *other* functions I can control with my mind, like making an Omni-Blade. But, I can use this for communication, fighting, repairing equipment, hacking... all sorts of stuff." 

"Huh, that thing must be pretty useful, all of that in one little package..." *I said, looking back up at him.

 

[Saturnice01]

"Yeah, it's really helpful. The wonders of technology."

 

[MrDubWubs]

"Ooh! The summoners sent me here on a mission to find you! But I think there was someone else I needed to find too...they didn't say who. They only said two champions were brought here."

*eyes widen with glee shaking the small girl a little* A-and what happens if we find the other champion!? *is excited that i'll be able to leave this nightmare soon....hopefully*

(TLR, Basically, I outline Delta’s entry into Vegas, and the limits to his abilities, the second half is Delta’s entry into the museum.)


Imagine Sinclair’s voice as the fabric of space and time rips open and drags Subject Delta into the unknown. He must of been screaming, right? Subject Delta, a knight in dripping wet armour, dragged away from his duty of protector by something Doctor Suchong would only describe as a “unknown phenomena.” A tear, for the less informed.


With Delta thrown to the floor, and Sinclair running for his life. Eleanor entered the fray, calling for her father through the open tear. “Father, what is happening? Mother’s people are saying you fell through-” then it cut off, abruptly. Under normal circumstances, Delta’s body would begin to shut down immediately, the bond between Little Sister and Protector severed. A tear was never a normal circumstance.


Delta turned, his objective clear. Return to Eleanor.


Perhaps Johnny Topside would have known what Vegas was, but Delta had long changed into a different person. Perhaps under his diving suit he was as grotesque as the average splicer.


He shook his drill carefully, pulling his arm back and knocking back two doors into the casino floor. Delta had stumbled upon a group of human’s, non-spliced humans, running from a group of psychopaths. As the sane humans slammed shut a set of steel doors, Delta made his assumptions clear, they were splicers, they had to be. Electricity danced between his fingertips as he charged forward, his research camera beginning to turn.


A lightning bolt surged out, capturing a Crossed in it’s grasp. Not missing a beat, the drill pierced the man’s abdomen as bees swarmed the air, allowing Delta some breathing room. He threw the man away, slot machines playing their jingles. Delta spun, fire lighting with a snap of his fingers and death being brought with a spin of his drill.


Subject Delta was covered in blood, with dead bodies strewn about his feet. The research camera let out it’s familiar bell tone, and Delta reviewed the results. Instead of Thuggish Splicers, they were labeled with an italicized unknown. The diver’s fist clenched, the unknown was dangerous.


He stepped forward, shaking his arm to allow Eve to flow into him. It didn’t. He shook his arm again, but still nothing. Delta shook his head, he’d have to meditate in a pool of water for his Eve to rejuvenate, and that was time wasted. In the mean time, he’d just have to find some coffee.


-


A broken sink emptied water onto the smashed tile floor, offering a reservoir that the Protector sat in. It wasn’t sea water, so the Eve recharge wasn’t a complete regeneration, neither was it a fast one. For Delta’s uses, it was enough for the time being, perhaps he could use one of his plasmids, but only once. With all the grace of a Big Daddy, he slammed the remains of the sink into the piping, halting the torrent of water.


Delta stepped carefully from the restroom, into a group of new faces.


Yes, Delta, a 7'1" behemoth, clad in a heavy set of diving gear, a drill strapped to his arm and lightning dancing between the fingertips of his other hand stepped out of the restroom.


Good job Delta.

Jehoel waits, listening for their reply, whilst wary of anything sneaking up on them, his wings currently concealed under covers in his plate.

I look at the newcomer and say, "Well, I wouldn't say similarly, but, we are all armed and armored. I'm Garrus Vakarian, you?"

 

[Jeremiah]

*eyes widen with glee shaking the small girl a little* A-and what happens if we find the other champion!? *is excited that i'll be able to leave this nightmare soon....hopefully*

"I...um..." Annie looked down, worried that what she had to say would disappoint Vi. "...they didn't tell me that either...they only told me to find you guys."

 

[RainbowWave]

A women manged to heal Molly's wound, just by hovering her hands over it. The wound was smaller now, but was still slender, and deep.


"Thank you" whispered Molly to the stranger.

“I... I don't know. We don't have too much intel on them, or where they came from. All the CDC and Umbrella is aware of is it's infectious and viral by nature. The side-effects include extreme aggression, loss of self-preservation, and I guess there isn't a medical term for 'loss of morality'. Heh.”

"So you have no idea?" Molly sighed, and looked away from the man. "Ah, then I suppose you should count yourself lucky," Elsa replied with a small smile. "I'm Queen Elsa of Arendelle. I'm afraid I haven't heard to the land of Georgia before." She tucked a lock of her platinum blonde hair behind an ear and sighed. "But that doesn't surprise me. I am quite... a long way away from home." From the look of things Elsa was in a completely new world with many terrible problems. Molly manged to look to the outside of the crowd, and that's when she saw her, that's when Molly found clementine. Forcing her self to stand, Molly stumbled to the young girl, and fell to her knees, giving the young girl the biggest hug.

 

[Magnestia]

I look at the newcomer and say, "Well, I wouldn't say similarly, but, we are all armed and armored. I'm Garrus Vakarian, you?"

Jehoel, as I have already stated, and the other(s) here? What is (are) your name(s)?

 

[MrDubWubs]

"I...um..." Annie looked down, worried that what she had to say would disappoint Vi. "...they didn't tell me that either...they only told me to find you guys."

O...oh... *face quickly goes blank with a frown, but it quickly changes back to a small, fake looking, smile as I set Annie down and rub her hair* At least we're together

"Good, I'm glad. I am Wynne. I'll come back to check on you in a while."

He glared at the man who just introduced him self, not bothering to remember his name. "Okay. Now we charge out." He said and yelled, taking out his katana, the blue flames erupted once more, not harming the red headed girl in his arms. He saw the museum that they were close to them and seeing none of those things there.. Just in case his flames were ready.


He then started to run swiftly to the door, crashing through them, then making sure they are closed. His eyes saw everyone there, no one was like the other things.. He smiled wicked. His demonic voiced ringed out.

Holding her staff in front of her calmly, she looked up at the demon.


"I can aid you."

"A queen? It's a pleasure to meet you, your grace. I was a king once... well, a couple times. The first time, I ended up destroying the world. The second time as well, but I also managed to save as many as I could. Well, enough about the past, right now, we must focus on the present. We must find the source of the problem and fix it." Rand suddenly stood up on his chair, already being tall enough to look over people's heads, the added height allowed him to see most everyone.





"Attention everyone! Has anyone an idea as to what could have caused this?" Rand shouted in the middle of the crowd, hoping to get everyone's attention.

Bigby lifted his eyebrows by hearing the reply from the weird figure. It was weird to make sense of all of that. He dropped his cigarette on the ground and stepped on top of it. He looked at the alien figure and wondered if this was only a dream. What the hell am I smoking? Sniffing a bit more, he smelled a fable. The blonde girl. But itwasn't time to care about this right now. The military-looking guy said people were just losing it due to an infection that was spreading across Vegas. "So what do we do? Stay here, waiting for things to settle?" He was about to ask if the infection was spreading through bites when a weird boy walked inside.

He turned towards the people from Umbrella again to ask: "I might be wrong, but shouldn't we behelping the boy who's on fire?"

Annie managed a smile as well, pushing happily up into Vi's rubbing hand. "Yeah! Now we just have to find the last missing champion!" Despite what crazy stuff was happening, Annie still had the ability to come off as legitimately happy. Her homeland shaped her into quite the soldier.

"Bigby is right, that guy is burning!"


Dandy looks around the room for a fire extinguisher but finds nothing.


"Wait, isn't he suppose to be on fire?"

Chris Redfield stepped up, extending a hand, “I'm Captain Chris Redfield of the Bioterrorism Security Assessment Alliance or BSAA for short, we're here to assess the situation and rescue civilians. Unfortunately, my transmitter doesn't seem to be working at the moment... we'll try and figure out what's wrong.”

Alright. I don't mind helpin'. Dont have anything else to do... *I lift the little girl up so she can be see over head to look for the last champion.*

@Flowershadow


He raises an eyebrow at Adachi, still unsure of what he was holding and still a little frightened at what it might be.


"Revolver? I have never heard of such a thing. Is it a way to dispel magic?"


Right as he asked the question, the detective darted from him, Chrom watching him unknowingly as he puked into a near-by garbage bin. He turns his head and looks back at the floor, trying to drown out the sound of Adachi's vomiting till he stumbles back near him.


"I suppose it would be good to help each other out. From what the others here are saying, it seems we have quite a problem on our hands. Also, it is called Falchion."


His extremely trusting side, a blessing and a fault, led him to try and befriend Adachi, turning to face him and extending a hand, a slight smirk on his face.


"I'm Chrom of Ylisse. It's a pleasure to meet you."

Chris nodded, “That seems to be the case...”

Dandy's attention snaps to Chris.


"The Chriswhohawhat?"

 

[SuperChocoMilk]

"Okay, okay, that's good." Luke said, scratching the back of his head. He looked around the room, peering through everyone and everything. Shit. Where the hell were they? There didn't appear to be many children in the crowd, so Clementine would be the most stand-out hopefully. "Have you seen a little girl, African-American, wearing a white hat with a D on it, along with a blue jacket. Her name's Clementine."


***


Clementine looked at the woman, and smiled back, relived that Molly was going to be okay. "The walkers outside. They look different, for some reason. And they were attacking people with knives, and talking. Walkers don't talk."


Clementine's questions were interrupted by Molly standing up and hugging her. Clementine hugged Molly back, and when they released form the grasp, Clementine decided to speak. "How did you get here?"

 

[Dallas]

"Yeah, it's really helpful. The wonders of technology."

"Well then, its been nice chatting with you Garrus, I'm going to go find a nice, quiet place to rest at." *I said, as I began to stand up*
