Universe Asunder ( IC Thread )

"Whoa!" Maka exclaimed as she looked upon the building that seemed to disappear from her vision. Debris and dirt from the destroyed building filled the air, and maka covered her eyes with her arm to keep it from piercing her eyes. When the air cleared, she looked up at the person who had supposedly caused the building to collapse. She then looked at the Xenomorph. "A.. Xenomorph? Never heard of something like that.." Maka looked at the alien with a confused expression. "What are you anyways? What is a Xenomorph?"


Her trusty scythe, Soul, was still held at her side. She was in a stance that, if she needed to, she could block, and quickly swing around for an attack. She knew that she shouldn't trust people, or any beings, for that matter, in this strange city easily, especially with the unfamiliar surroundings. If she needed to, she could cause some serious damage.


Raekon peered from behind the building, coughing from the debris. He winced when he felt the air around him grow dense. When the air cleared, he breathed heavily in relief. Fresh air.. It feels nice. He thought..
 
"A Xenomorph? Well, if there's any way to describe it... Think of the scariest thing you could ever imagine happening to you or someone you love... and multiply that fear by about nine..." Zaborg replied allowing his tongue to slip out of his toothy maw. "But in all seriousness, my species is the deadliest species in the universe... Or so I've heard, there is no real story as to our origin, some say we were an evolved from ma common ancestor, same as you humans speculate through the theory of evolution. While on the other hand, some say we were created as game for reserves by a specific species but we managed to escape, and thus spread terror wherever we went." he explained in a loud enough voice. If there was one thing he was good at, it was explaining his back story and origin. And, since there were a lot of people who would probably ask that same question, he was preparing himself for when the question arose again.


"I on the other hand, am nothing like those of which I talk about. I'm a genetically engineered, genetically enhanced, war machine. I was supposed to be created and sold to the military, obviously that didn't happen." he said with a sly smirk. "Unlike you humans though, evolution constantly occurs within my species. I wouldn't be surprised if you were to encounter several others that all have different traits compared to me, but all with a similar face..." he added noticing the pose the girl had taken. "It's funny, I was the first subject, but probably not there last..." he added looking up at the sky.
 
"So... Do Xenomorphs have souls?" Maka asked. If they did, by chance, she couldn't sense this one's in particular. "What's the point of meaningless destruction? Taking innocent lives.. It's not something that should be taken lightly." Maka said. She wasn't trying to offend the creature. "So... If you're not their last test subject.. there's probably others like you?" Maka thought for a few seconds. "How can you speak human language anyways?"


Raekon Climbed a nearby building by grabbing parts of certain pipes and ledges of windows. When he reached the top, he slowly pulled himself up. He looked at the scene below, kneeling on the roof. I can tell by just looking at them... All of the individuals that are standing before me are definitely formidable. Whether it be as allies or as enemies... I'll have to find that out later. He sighed slightly, feeling the calming breeze that he had grown attached to.
 
"Souls? I'm not sure... I'm not all that spiritual or anything..." he replied misunderstanding the original question. "The reaping lives, is common for 'them' we are built as hunting machines to serve 'their' queen. It's kind of like an ant colony really... Except the queen fights when she has to..." he added. Obviously she wasn't too bright, considering that one isn't armed with sharp appendages for the hell of it. Well, unless you're a dinosaur with protective plating. "But listening to your talk, I understand that you hold life dearly close to you... Just to let you in on a little secret though, I only kill animals. Humans are a strict no no... Unless my ravenous hunger gets the best of me I suppose... But that hasn't happened yet so one can only suspect the worst..." he added, continuing to answer her questions. "Also, if I killed humans, don't you think that most of you would be decapitated, disemboweled, electrocuted to death, or have you heart ripped out?" he asked tilting his head.


"Anyways, there are probably others like me, maybe hundreds or even thousands. I'm still in my 'adolescence' and my kind don't really physically age... It's been several years since I've lived on Earth, so the amount of younger 'siblings' I have are probably too many to count... But, then again, since it's been a while, I wouldn't know if I am their last test subject. I could be that one of a kind toy, or the toy of the company who went out of business because they didn't learn the basic rule of supply and demand..." he added thinking of various lifeforms which resembled his species. "I probably should've mentioned that high intelligence amongst my species is common, speaking though, that's something different. I guess I was one of those who got a few modifications before my holder came out of its egg..." he replied with a slight shrug. "But hey don't look a gift horse in the mouth. Right?" he chuckled.
 
Joker walked into a warehouse, not the one that had been set on fire, but a warehouse. Well, more of a fun house, really. He smiled to himself as he walked to a glass container, about as tall as two people stacked on top of each other, and wide as can be. It had a curtain over it. Joker pulled the curtain off, and inside was a girl. Her violet eyes looked at Joker without emotion, but inside she had hatred for him.


"Well, my sweet, how is the box? Are you hungry?" Joker asked, as if speaking to an animal.


"The box, is a room of which I cannot exit. And I need basic foods, therefore, I'd be satisfied if you where to let me go," She spoke with a monotone. Raven, known as a Teen Titan, had been kidnapped by the Joker almost as soon as she had arrived.


"Well, aren't you such a kill joy? I thought you'd deeply hate it!" Joker said, then continued. "Oh, no one knows you are here, and if you attempt escape, I'll gas you."

After landing rather roughly,Eden was jolted up by the pain shot through her arm.She stood up and popped it back in place,just as her phone started to ring,"Hello?"She answered as a cool and sophisticated voice flooded through her phone.


"Eden,my dear,it seems one of my old and dearest friends,the Joker,has made his way here.Please be a dear,and go get him."He hung up with a click,followed by a dial tone


"Asshole."Spat as she let one of her alternate personas,Lilly,take over her.Eden's purple hair was replaced,by two long twin-tails,colored teal.Lilly brushed the dirt and garbage off of her dress,then took out a little bit of perfume,"Ugh...How indecent."After a few sprites of the perfume,she was smelling absolutely lovely.She looked around and made sure no one was around to attack,then she started to examine the city through telepathy.Once she found a psychotic mind that practically blasted another personality into her head,"Dammit,that asshole.I will never try to read his mind,or try to control him."She groaned,as she rubbed her eye walking toward the warehouse he was in.She took notice of the second person in the warehouse near the Joker.


She slipped into the Warehouse unnoticed,"Mr.Joker!"She roared inside the warehouse,as she took a seat on top of the box.
 
Joker looked up, on top of the box sat someone now. He pulled his gun from his pocket, this time, the gun was real, as he fired a shot right next to her, striking a strand of her hair. Then he started to laugh, and laugh. Raven just looked at the girl on top of the box, still showing no emotion.


As Joker stopped laughing, he began to speak. "Well, not many people have the nerve to walk into my fun house uninvited. But, I suppose I might wanna listen to you. You've got spunk, walking in. But, most people with spunk I tend to gas. So, you better have a damn good reason for being here." As Joker finished, his voice sounded more serious.
 
Suddenly, Maka's eyes widened. "There are people in a nearby warehouse. Their souls are sending pretty strong wavelengths." She continued, "One of them seems absolutely insane on the outside with a cold, evil center." She paused. "One of the others... is mysterious.. they seem mature, but reclusive." She said. She stopped, and looked beyond her left shoulder. "There's another one I'm seeing. It's hard to tell their personality just by looking...Like they have multiple personalities..." Soul chimed in for once, "So, what do you want to do about it?" he asked her. "I'm not sure. They seem to dangerous to be left alone, but at the same time... we don't know their strengths so it's probably a better idea not to interfere for now." She said.


Raekon looked upon the people and beings below. He wondered what had happened to the multiverse, but also noticed that this new 'plane' had some mana regeneration issues. He noticed that he could only regenerate mana when he was in danger. He stood up, his cape blowing in the wind, and started walking towards the center of the building. I wish I had a few drakes right about now to fly away on. He thought.
 
Lilly crossed her legs and smiled.She lifted her hands next to her face,as if she holding a teacup and plate,then they formed in her hand,from her mind.Lilly sat in her spot,sipping on her tea,un-fazed by the bullet,"Well,Mr.Joker.My superior,Lex Luthor,wishes for you to join the Legion of Doom.He says you two have been conspiring before,so he would like you to join,so you could add that punchline our joke so desperately needs."She explained trying to appeal to his clown side,the best of her ability.She placed the tea down,then began to fiddle with her hair to make sure it was not completely messed up.
 
Kristjan finally arrived at *Location Classified*, home of the Legion of Doom Headquarters, his new ally in tow as far as he knew. A voice on an intercom at the gate spoke to the Espada. "Kristjan. Who in God's name did you bring with you? We've been tracking you for the past six miles because you're being followed." Kristjan, ever the cocky one, responded with his typical arrogance. "Well, boss-man. If you'd wait a second before cramming your fist down my throat, maybe I'd tell your bald ass who my tag-along is. His name is Megabyte, and apparently he's a sentient computer virus given a humanoid form. One, he kept up with me. That alone is impressive. Two, he seems to have some ideas and I find them interesting. So let me in or else I'll be forced to explode my way in... like back when I joined your little party of jokers." The pun hinting at Lex's desire to sign on the infamous Joker was about as obvious as it could get.


"The two of you can come in. But keep your new toy under supervision. I'm raising additional firewalls around our programs. If he's a virus, as you claim, then we'll need them." The large gate buzzed and opened into a larger compound. Just inside the gate, behind the thick brick wall, were a numerous amount of high-powered laser turrets. These turrets were to keep people from just leaping over the wall and getting to the compound. Of course, it didn't stop more powerful beings like Kristjan or some of the Justice League members. But it was wonderful for dissuading less powerful beings. "Come on, Megs. Let's get inside before some of the goodie-goods show up. SOMEONE is gonna wonder about the exploding warehouse sooner or later... and we all know they'll blame us."
 
"Well, that's interesting. Someone wants ME, Joker, to join up with them. Lex Luther, huh? Isn't he that guy that worked with or against that Superman guy? Isn't he bald, or something like that? Well, I do have a gift for them then. If I join, but here's what I'd need. Nothing, I've got all what I need right here in my fun house. But, I suppose I can share the fun. I mean, why keep it all to myself? Well, as long as you provide ample ways to get Miss Titan here to the Doom's place," Joker referred to Raven as Miss Titan, but he meant to make fun of her. It had little to no effect.


"And there he goes on a rant again. . ." Raven's monotone voice made an input.


"Well, at least I talk, and it isn't with monotone!" Joker yelled at her.
 
Riyoshi gathered a little more chakra before stringing a few hand seals together. Lifting his head slightly, he opened his mouth and he spew out some mud. The mud hit the ground and began to rumble. Slamming his palms down upon the ground, a large earth made wall formed in front of him. The size of the wall seemed as if it would fit across the hole in the ground and cover the building that was in flame. Looking over his shoulder towards the beings upon the building, he pointed upon the Xenomorph, the being made of lightning.


Placing his hand upon the wall, he leaned slightly against it before the wall cracked at the bottom. As the wall tipped over, it covered the building. Stretching out his right arm, he rubbed his right shoulder with his left hand. Leaping from his spot, he headed towards the building. Placing his right foot firmly upon the ground, he pressed off and landed upon the wall. With chakra focused on the soles of his feet, he ran up the building before somersaulting and landing upon the roof. Looking upon the other people standing upon the roof, he took in a deep breath.


“What the hell is going on in this place? Why did you guys not help out!?” Riyoshi yelled out as he just stood there and stared, waiting on a response.
 
"Hmmm,well I could use my Mindscape ability to send her into my mind,but there is a major possibility that she could escape,or find something on the Legion of Doom."She explained sipping on her tea once more.Lilly hopped down from the box to look at Raven,"We will have to think of a way to get her there,maybe we have a teleporter in the legion."She though out loud.
 
"Mindscape? You realize this girl's powers are based on mind stuff, right? Even being near her can run a risk!" Joker shouted, almost angry. Why hadn't he thought of that before? Then he chuckled again. "We could just leave her here, or, well, you can go back to your Legion of Doom, and tell Lexie that he'll need to get that teleporter. Because I'm not leaving this prize. I could use her, if I get her emotions out of whack, chaos."


"You won't get me out of control, I can control my emotions more than you," Raven's monotone voice spoke.


"Yea, and you won't admit to any emotion when you have it," Joker spoke in retaliation. "Now, run off and go get that teleporter, will you? Please?"
 
Lilly began to chuckle,"Ha,her mind could never compare to mine.I could lock,the good in her,up and bring about chaos you oh so demand."Her chuckle began to turn into a maniacal laugh.She stopped and looked at Raven,"Girl,I have telepathy.I could link your mind to the f***ed up mind of the Joker's and see how that movie plays out,or I could try to gain complete control over you myself."She giggled as she thought out loud,and possibly giving Joker some ideas.Lilly twisted on her heals to turn to the Joker,"I will call Lex immediately!"She cheered with a sinister smile,flipping out her phone.
 
"I think maybe she's a little more powerful, I mean, she is a hero, after all. Heroes are either more powerful, or less and win anyways. It is cliche," Joker spoke.


"Azarath, Metrion, ZINTHOS!" Raven shouted, and a sudden black wall went around the box, tearing it apart.


"Well, that wasn't expected," Joker spoke, before part of the box clanged him in the face, rendering him unconscious.


Raven suddenly went through a black hole underneath her feet, dimensional travel. She had Joker fooled from the beginning. Now, she went through another gap in the demensions near a kid and what looked to be some strange black thing.


----


Black as the night near, a figure flew through the night. The villains would look in fear, as it was the Dark Knight. His sight saw all, and not many saw him. As if he should fall, he landed down without a whim. He looked around at the group and the building with its roof out of the ground. He was a top of a roof top now, looking down.


Raven had walked towards the group, and then spoke in her usual monotone. "Do any of you know what exactly is going on? I just broke free from a red version of Joker in a fun house, and then there are you guys that do not look familiar."
 
As the box exploded in front of her,and energy field formed around her.Lilly sipped on her tea once more,and looked up at the Joker,"I'm guessing you didn't know her powers?"She question blandly as she slipped her phone back in her pocket.She strutted over to the box to examine,and maybe get a little clue of Raven's power.
 
Sitting up, the Joker rubbed the side of his head. "Well, I knew her powers, just not the extent. How's about you just get me over to Luthor, and we'll think of something there?"


Standing up, Joker smiled to himself, he was a little wobbly, but he'd recover.


"She is rather clever, I'll give her that. But cleverness will not be able to stop us all, right?" Joker spoke again, slurring his words a little. What would you do after being clocked in the head?
 
"Of course!"Lilly motioned toward the window,since she didn't tust going out the front door all willy-nilly.She looked at the Joker with the same mundane face as before.As she walked toward the wall,the glass around them began to disappear,turn into energy,then shoot to the girl's head,sending them into her mind.


"She might be clever,but as you said,she can't beat our minds.Hero or no Hero,we win."She cackled a little as she swipped her hands toward the Joker,lifting him off the ground with telekinesis.Lilly began to float up to the window herself,"Now lets go to your old partner,he might be happy to see you."She joked as the window bursted open.
 
Riyoshi exhaled with a slight bit of anger, but he did not act upon it. Turning away from the group, Riyoshi soon heard a voice from behind him. Turning from facing the building that was now completely underground, no longer visible. Facing Raven, Riyoshi took in a breath and started to explain himself.


"I am not too entirely sure on what was going on. I am not sure where i am myself, but i seen this fire, so i came to put it out." Riyoshi spoke out as he looked upon the girl.


Reaching his hand up, he pointed over his shoulder at the cap of earth over the hole that the building was in, he smiled.


"I was able to cover the building and smother the flames. I am pretty sure that there was no people in there before i sunk the building." Riyoshi spoke out as he peeked over his shoulder to look at the cap for a second.


Looking back at Raven, he pointed to her before taking a breath.


"So i have a question for you. How were able to sneak up on a group of us, without even making a sound. I am good at seeking out different presences." Riyoshi asked out as he looked her over.
 
Maka walked over to where Raven and Riyoshi were. Soul transformed into his human form as there seemed to be no fighting going on for now. She spoke to Raven. "I was actually just wondering the same thing. I could sense your soul wavelength in some building a good distance away, but then it disappeared... and reappeared where you are right now... It's a little strange." She paused. "Not to mention, your wavelength in general is strange..."


Raekon Looked down at Raven, Riyoshi, Maka, and Soul. He listened to their conversation. He thought to himself... Wait a minute.... Is it possible that she is a planeswalker? Or... did she travel somewhere else? Raekon didn't know what to think of the strange looking girl. He just assumed she was some sort of mage or something.
 
Raven looked at the group, and put her hood up, covering the upper portion of her face, but her eyes were still visible. "Dimensional travel." Was all she said.


She walked forwards a ways, then spoke again in the monotone. "As to my soul, I'd rather not disclose, not just yet. I don't really know, or trust any of you. Yet."


----


Joker smiled at the girl as she took him to the Legion of Doom, but he then shouted. "Hey, you think you could hurry up!?"
 
"Listen here you maniacal clown,we go at the speed I wish,not yours.If you have a problem with the speed,then I will put you down,and you can walk the whole way!So shut the hell up!"She barked at them as they swam across the sky.Off in the distance,Lilly thought she could see the Raven girl,a girl with a white haired boy,a ninja,and a boy who looked rather bewildered.


Lilly smirked a little,then looked back at the Joker,"Hey clown,there goes your prey again..."She explained as she continued to drink her tea,with a small chuckle.The young woman wondered if the Joker would chase after the girl,or go straight to HQ.
 
Riyoshi watched as this new girl approached the group, and as her weapon transformed into a person, he donned a confused expression. All of these things that he has come across has confused him. He has never seen shinobi like this group before.


“I take it, you are not shinobi?” Riyoshi asked as he looked at the group of people.


Looking at the girl in the cape place the hood over her head, he wondered about this world that he had stumbled into. Was he even in the world of shinobi? If not, then where was he?


“Can you please explain to me what is going on here? Soul wavelengths, dimensional travel, weapons that turn into people, and a beast made of lightning!” Riyoshi was severely confused as to all the things happening around him.


Shaking his head, he tried to get his thoughts into order. Taking a deep breath and looking upon Raven, he spoke out his final statement to his rant.


“My name is Riyoshi, from the Nihoma clan.” Riyoshi spoke out as he slightly bowed in her presence, still keeping an eye upon the group.
 
Zaborg shook his head in annoyance. He kept to himself for a reason, and that was mainly to avoid all the annoying questions of 'where am I?, who are you?, what is this place?, how did I get here?'. "Well will you look at the time, I gotta get going..." Zaborg said looking at his watch-less wrist, and then jumping from his original spot, with the same effect, a sound of striking thunder instead of a thud. "It's been 'fun' and all, but Experiment XENO-0001Z, is out." he muttered taking his casual walk out the alley way, but then remembering what happened last time he did that.


"On second thought, maybe not..." he thought taking his casual stroll back into the alley way where he originally was, clawing his back up to his original spot. "Whoopsie!" he muttered to himself making it over the ledge. "Went the wrong way..." he said, thinking about how and where he was about to score his next meal. His stomach grumbled slightly, and what he said to Maka was actually true. If you take an animal from its food, they get extremely dangerous.
