Cortova-Twilight Realm
Cortova watches Venkman and the dead woman, a solemn expression on her features. She wonders how many of her contracts ended up here, crying out for someone to finish what she or the swarm cut short.

As he speaks to her, she shakes herself from her thoughts, and forces a smile, giving a thumbs up. “She’s good! She and the swarm learn quickly, and she’s getting used to this.” She reports.

Kiara-Latverivin
Kiara looks up at the ships, gritting her teeth. She doesn’t have anything prepared that has enough range and firepower to deal with those. She’ll have to hope someone else does. She draws her sword with a soft hiss, and quickly swipes her left pinkie finger along the edge of the blade, drawing blood.

She takes a breath, knowing someone will probably see this, and presses the wounded finger to a sigil on her collar. She stands, and stretches out her arms, as metal clicks and magic flares, her armor extending over her body, all the way to the helmet.

Said helmet hides most of her face, as is the style. Her hair is held inside the helmet, and she hopes that means no one will recognize her once this is over. She feels like her presence won’t be Welcome, so it’s better she remains a face in the crowd.

She idly wonders if this is how the godlings felt when her fellows went to seige Manhattan, but brushes away the distraction. She goes to her bag, pulling out the focuses for the spells she does have prepared, muttering to herself.

Talion and Celebrimbor: The Wall​

Talion looked at the strange vehicle before looking back at Minity and the other one, "I don't think me going in that would be necessary, If you can make it there much faster than me then please by all means take this." Talion said presenting Minity with a silver forge hammer. Celebrimbor smiled, he knew what Talion was instigating and this would surely get them there faster. "If you can find a surface of stone or brick and strike it with this hammer a mark should appear, from there I will return to your presence and we can help your family with no time wasted." Talion said as he held the hammer by it's head and letting the handle hang out towards Minity, the forge hammer itself was pretty small and should have easily fitted on Minity's belt. The elven forge hammer had fiery words engraved on it which still seemed to glow.

Bjornson Gudrun: New York​

Bjornson had followed after Magnus and at the Symbiote hearing the deal they had, Bjornson approached the Symbiote much closer than the others, "What is the point in freedom if you are not free in will and mind? I much rather carry the world on my shoulders and walk my own path than hold no responsibility yet always walk the same enforced path." He said doing his best to reason freedom. Finally Bjornson turned to Reed and Magnus, "Well there is something I must tell you, I have seen an omen while healing Magnus, it was many eagles circling a storm but 4 crows were much closer to that storm, hard to distinguish but it was not too difficult to distinguish these flying rats, they all had their talons in the storm, thus meaning they are currently plotting, where I don't know yet." Bjornson warned Reed, Magnus, and any others nearby.

Senshi, Shimazu, and Take: Rush Valley
​

Senshi and Mark were rapidly approaching the school, Senshi had hoped that this peacekeeping force was at the very least, moving children out of the school. Senshi turned to Mark before saying, "I know they are children, but you must know well the witch and her minions will not wait for them, they will kill them if they feel like they have to. In Japan it is unhonorable to kill the youth especially those who are not of royalty or of a higher family." Senshi told mark. There were messed up things in Samurai culture but this was taking it to a whole new level.
-
Meanwhile Shimazu and Take were nearing the hospital building, upon entering they could see wounded or dying officers and citizens being transported around on wheeled carts of sorts, as the two Samurai walked around looking around a bit and strategizing, a young nurse with brown hair and blue eyes with sleeves stained with blood came up to the two, "I'm sorry gentlemen but whatever you have it can wait, we have allot of people to help and more coming in so there is no time for anything that isn't too serious," she stated in a calm and collected fashion to the two. Before she walked away to get back to work Shimazu yelled, "Wait!" The nurse turned around puzzled, "You must get the wounded and sick out of here or move them to a safer location, the attackers from before are coming again and they will unleash an assault here." The Nurse seemed panicked but she collected herself and nodded to the two with a determined look, immediately Nurses and doctors alike began moving the wounded that could move out of the hospital and began bringing those who could not be moved out of the hospital to safer rooms with stronger doors. Both Take and Shimazu began preparing defenses with any extra hands that volunteered, the duo along with the volunteers had constructed a wall of turned over vacant carts and roughly sharpened IV poles. Take and Shimazu sat cross legged in front of the defenses with the volunteers behind them.

"We don't work for this Vortex," Aloy said calmly to the man, "We just ended up here by chance. By the way, I am Aloy."

Aloy then lightly nudged McCree to introduce himself.

"Fine. Name's McCree," McCree lowered his hands took out a lighter and lit up his cigar once more.

Swerve smiled and simply said, "I'm pretty sure Minimus Ambus wouldn't mind!"

Minimus Ambus, the once barer of the Magnus Armor, continued to worry over the status of said armor, "Do you bots have any idea what would happen if that Armor falls into the wrong hands?"

"Why are you so worried?" asked a torques robot, "Don't you need to have a Load-Barer Spark to even wear the damn thing?"

A Small blue robot tinkered with Tarn's chassis, "Tarn, you sure you want me to remove the Mass Shifting Cog?" She asked the D.J.D. leader.

"Tell me, Nickel... Would Megatron use a coward's upgrade like that?" Tarn replied with rhetorical question.

"Depends on the Megatron..." Nickel replied as she returned to her work.

"I know..." Tarn said as he reflected on his once idol's betrayal to the cause.

In short order Anna has finally had each and every one of her new customers' orders fufilled.

Anna then looked over to her appointed bodyguard and said, "And that's how you satisfy a customer!"

The Roar of a Hydra was heard in the distance.

"Uh, Did that sound way closer than I find comfortable?" Anna thought aloud.

"Hello, Roxie-san." Yu greeted the dark skinned mechanic turned her attention to the trio, soon wondering who his other friends are. "We found them in the building; Hanamura Yosuke-kun, and Peacock-chan." He addressed his two friends.

"Yo." Yosuke waved at the mechanix as Yu approached the woman, handing over the Katana in it's sheath.

"I told you before, but it's nothing special." Yu said humbly, "Though I'd say it's conductivity with electricity is pretty decent..."

--Minato Arisato || Penny Polendina--

As the Wreckers go and tend to the other refugees, Minato decided to reunite with the group, giving Sora a short 'goodbye' as he head off the small group of women. Two of which headed off to a corner with an open discussion about upgrades.

"So...Anything new happened here?" Minato approached Kaede from behind with his usual nonchalant, stoic mannerism.

"Well, to answer your question...I do believe I need some weapon enhancements..." Penny tried to see if there are some flaws in her current state, aside from the function of her hiccuping when lying, of course. "Aside from that, I don't believe I need anything else..."

"Thanks, really needed that." Gong smiled as he took a bottle and drank the 'soda'. Obviously, it was delecteble. A few minutes had passed, and he began to notice several new faces in town, and decided to approached them; mainly, the man with the bow.

"So, how'd ya get here?" Gong began in a friendly tone, before hearing a loud roar. He turned his attention to the direction of the roar, as if curious. 'That...Sounds a LOT like mom during our sparring matches.' Gong thought as he HONEd his CLAWs, his gauntlets' sharp edges activating.

Stella merely gripped her cannon as she glances behind her.

"Something's coming." Stella commented to her employer. "...It must be an enemy."

Filia Medici (And Samson), Cerebella, Carol "Painwheel", Nadia "Ms." Fortune, Parasoul Renoir, Valerie "Valentine", & Patricia "Peacock" Watson
-New York-

All appears to be over as the Symbiotes stopped attacking, knowing that there is a much more bigger threat than them and that they were mislead. With D.Va and Reed away, Filia decides to check on Painwheel. After some time of searching, she finds her friend in a room, sleeping on a bed with her bladed wheel off her back, leaving in the base attached, and as well as her mask. She is probably having a good dream at this point. Filia smiled before entering the room and sit right next to her sleeping friend. "She looks so cute..." She thought as she looks down at Carol, much to Samson's annoyance.

Meanwhile, Cerebella is taking a break from all that has happened. All the while, Nadia crept on the acrobat like the cat she is until she slides her head onto her lap. Cerebella was a bit surprised, but she did not cared whatsoever. Nadia purred as she rubs her head against the acrobat's curvaceous legs. Cerebella places her hand on the catgirl's head and begins to stroke it gently, which Nadia happens to love it.

Back in the city, Parasoul is in a room looking at the city out of a window until Molly suddenly comes in. "Your Majesty!" She says "Great news! The Symbiotes have stopped attacking and they are no longer a threat to us!" Her tone is a happy one, and when the princess turns to her, she says "Well, that is very good to hear. Tell our men to pack up the defenses and say that the Symbiotes are no longer a threat to us anymore. By morning, we should get ourselves going to where your caller is."

"But...Princess..." Molly replies "We just got here. Do we need to leave the first thing in the morning? I mean, we should get at least a day or two so we can have our strength restored and be on our way." Parasoul began to think for a moment before finally coming up with a conclusion. "I suppose we can have a day in this building. Fine, let's take a break for a day. But if there is anything important, then we must make do. Understand?" She says, and then Molly answers with a salute and say "Yes, Your Majesty!" And then she quickly leaves.

On the rooftop, Valentine is also watching the city, but at the same time, she begins to think about Yu, Yosuke, Parasoul, and Peacock especially. "Yu...he really is an interesting guy, but his friend is also interesting as well. Yet, I could not believe that I would have to make an alliance with that princess bitch, and why is Peacock also here? Geez, every time I look at her, it cringes me. Why does she have to be in this mess? Oh well..." She thought.

Back in the building, as Yu gave Roxie his katana, she begins to inspect it. "Yup, looks like a normal-looking sword alright." She says "And you said that its conductivity is decent, right? Well, I can put in a few tweeks into upgrading its conductivity, but might I ask how are you still able to wield it if the lightning does not shock or burn or anything to you? You must have a pretty tough immune system, right?"

Noose studied Pixels for a moment before speaking again, her eyes looking at the joints in it's machinery.
"You don't look like Indian tech." She shook her head "Ghandi likes to advertise his machines, but I've been proven wrong a few times this week." She shrugged "So what do your bosses want to know about Vortex? Other than he's a genocidal prick who's killed a lot of my men." She said with a scowl "At first it was just Raider gangs, but then he turned his attention to unarmed folks."

She gestured to the medical room "People he said he was goin' to help. Poor folks looking for food and shelter and he just...Gunned them down. No warnings, just a lot of gunfire and screaming."

"Alright good, 'cause we're almost there. Had a few buddies clear the routes out here, so we're making good time."
"Ghost buddies?" Karla asked
"Not exactly."

Swinging her arms back and fourth, Karla started to walk ahead, humming loudly with a pleasant smile on her face.
"Try to stay close. This route's clear, but the rest of the Twilight's probably a fucking mess." Venkman cautioned
"I know, I'm just..." Karla shook her head "I thought I saw something."

Venkman stepped forwards, resting a hand on one of her shoulders
"Was it somebody you lost? I can probably..."
"Nah, some a-hole I set on fire." Karla shrugged, a grin on her face "To be fair, there's been a few of those."
"Sorry I asked."

Karla stopped in her tracks "There it is!" She shouted, pointing to a nearby fort. Venkman took a few steps forwards and squinted, seeing the supply depot Noose had converted over a hill.
"Alright, just need to open the portal somewhere subtle. She's bound to have lookouts and I really don't want a paradox in my arse."
"That sounds painful. The ass is the most..."
"Not literally!" He snapped
"I know, I was just fucking with you." Karla said with a tilt of her head and a large grin. She skipped forwards

Finding a place at the bottom of the hill, Venkman opened a Twilight gate and led the others through. With his hands in his pockets he started to walk towards the supply depot.

Minity took the hammer in hand, holstering it on her belt "Very well. I shall try to pick somewhere pleasant." She gave Talion a jokey half-smile and looked over at Kot "Shall we go? The sooner this is done the sooner we can attend to finding your family."

Latverivin and Above Gladius​

With the shield down, the Ithorian was able to easily make his way into the city. Few of the Jedi paid him that much mind, simply thinking of him as another member of the order who'd been caught outside of the walls. A few nodded at him, their sabers drawn and ignited and preparing for a fight.
"The Sith have invaded." One of them explained "So I'm glad to have you with us. Strength in numbers, right?"

Kiara got a few glances as her armour extended.
"Damn! Where can I get armour like that?" A soldier asked. A slight smile grew on his face as he looked Kiara up and down "Is that stuff any good?"
-

"There may be a way to prove your worth, Vader." Thrawn said "The Conglomerate is engaged in battle with a nation called Latverivin. It's home to the Jedi order and to billions of people. They have the numbers and firepower to counter the invasion, but a surprise attack from orbit against their fleet could cripple the Sith and end this petty invasion quicker...And hopefully, with less bloodshed."

"But know this. If you turn on the Jedi, if you engage with the people of the country their leader will flay you alive. Am I understood?"

Kiara-Latverivin
Kiara looks up at the soldier, wondering if he’s seeing her clearly, or if the mist even protects her here. If it doesn’t, she may have a problem later on. Then again, the mist hides monsters too. Maybe if it isn’t here, mortals will know when to run.

“It’s pretty good, yeah.” She says, covering her wounded finger with the rest of her hand. She takes a breath, gripping her blade. “Won’t be long before they make it through.” She mutters, her eyes narrowed behind her bronze helmet. As soon as they breach, she’s going in. That woman on the iris message made herself clear. Kiara will be going for the kill in this battle, because the other side sure as hell won’t leave anyone standing if they can help it.

Cortova looks over at Venkman. “You keep mentioning paradoxes, but what exactly are those?” She asks, tilting her head curiously as she walks with the group. She’s staying close, having listened carefully to Venkman’s instructions.

It did a bit of a twirl in the air with it's left index finger. Psionics?
Noose immediately heard a voice in her head. Yep. Psionics.
"Alright, testing... testing... hey, you hear me?"
UPON RESPONSE
"Well, two things. One, what kind of units does Vortex have? Any known strategies?"
"Two, I believed that XCOM fought for the Council of Nations, and we still do. Is there another XCOM on this planet or something?"
Noose could almost see the communicating Psionic drumming his fingers, listening intently for her next words.

Magnus Burnsides and D.Va: Helicarrier Dreadnought/New York​

"The relationship between a Klyntar and our host is meant to be a mutual bound. A sharing of souls." The symbiote explained. It's face peeled away, revealing the face of a clean shaven and middle-aged black gentleman. He gave Bjornson a friendly half-smile "I'm still human under all this."
"Not interested." Magnus said "Last I checked you guys were using people's bodies and making them kill each other..."
"Because we thought we were being attacked! Would it not be more merciful, kinder in fact to have people join us instead of killing them?"
"I'd rather have my free will, thanks. One of your buddies took control of me..." He folded his arms and glared into the eyes of the host with a spiteful glare
"I'm sorry that happened to you, but I promise...That will never happen again. Not to you. Not to anyone else."

Magnus scoffed and turned away from the host, his gaze going to Bjornson. Magnus scratched the back of his head "Omens and visions aren't really my thing." He mumbled. He examined the Bracer on his arm "If I could find my family, there's people better equipped to figure out what the hell you saw." He gave a gentle shrug "Least I can do for patching me up." He added a smile for good measure
"You're with the Bureau of Balance." The host stated
"So, you know about us?" Magnus asked, slowly turning around
"Yeah, they've got a set-up on Gladius-II."

Magnus' eyes widened, a smile slowly growing on his face. It turned into a large grin.
He'd woken up in Xing and made his way to Mos Eisley, looking for people to help while keeping an eye out for his family. All he had to do now was make his way to the other planet. Giving the host a nod, Magnus walked out of the room to find Reed.
-
The Helicarrier Dreadnought entered the skies above New York, touching down gently in the waters outside. Hana watched as the bay doors opened, allowing a dozen more SHIELD agents inside. They mostly carried the injured to the medical wing, with a few keeping an eye on the remaining symbiotes. Watching Filia look over her friend, she smiled and slowly walked out of the room.
She'd been patched up, a little on the flight back. Her arm was in a sling, with a few plasters covering the wounds on her head. The pain relief wasn't that much, but she figured it at least held her together.

She took a deep breath and made her way down a corridor, nodding at a few SHIELD agents who walked past her. She felt a tap on her shoulder and she turned around, coming face to face with Reed.
"How are you feeling?" He asked
"Crappy." She said, plainly
"I heard you were considering bonding with one of the Klyntar. Are you still..."
"Yes. It's the least I can do considering what I did."

Reed shook his head "That kind of choice isn't something you should make out of guilt alone. I know what that can do to a person.""
Hana shook her head and walked past Reed
"I gotta do something." She muttered

Keeping his eyes fixed on a tablet, Reed walked into the medical room.
"How's she doing?" He asked Fillia

While the schoolgirl kept watching her friend, Reed enters the room. She turns her attention to his presence and when asked about her friend's condition, she says "She's having a good dream right now." But then, her tone shifts to a worried one "Though, I'm a bit worried of her well-being. Every time she goes berserk, she couldn't tell who's friend and who's foe. I'm also worried about what could happen if she keeps doing it. I don't get how she became like this in the first place."

The Wasteland/The Twilight Realm​

"Reality's way of telling a mage to go screw themselves." Venkman explained, a slight grin on his face "Short version is everytime I do magic, I'm bending the laws of reality. She doesn't mind that much so long as I don't go all out or I cast a spectacle in front of regular humans. It all has to do with this thingy called the void which is tied to the fall of Atlantis...Look, long and complicated story dating back hundreds of thousands of years. But, short end is everything I do would have been natural in Atlantis but as it's not around anymore it's unnatural and reality doesn't like me doing it. It retaliates."

He took a deep breath "Paradoxes are painful. Sometimes it's magic backfiring, horrible curses or if it's really bad I accidentally summon some demon with four mouths or something. Really nasty Lovecraftian shit."

Karla listened to Venkman's explanation with wide eyes and cleared her throat
"Wouldn't a demon with four mouths be useful?" She asked
"Not if it's trying to eat your face. Any monster or demon I summoned would be targeting me, the source of the paradox."
"Depends how fast you can run." She added with a shrug and a half-smile

Rolling his eyes, Venkman walked up to the door of the supply depot and knocked. Immediately the barrels of half a dozen rifles were pointed at the group. With his hands raised, and a friendly half-smile on his face Venkman spoke.
"Hey guys, we just want to talk."

A warning shot went off, hitting the ground around his feet.
"Next one goes through your manhood! Now piss off!" A Raider snapped

Karla stepped in front of Venkman, her hands raised.
"Jade sent us." She explained "Information broker. Cyborg. Redhead. Might have been here a few days ago."

The guns were slowly lowered and part of the metal door moved away as the group was led inside.
-
"I guess it's possible you're just from another version of XCOM." She said with a shrug "Same name, different organisation. Just be glad Ghandi doesn't have the time to bring you guys to court." She said, adding a slight chuckle. Her expression turned stern again as she led Pixels through more rooms, giving him details about Vortex
"The bastard relies on Heavy Force and Scorched Earth strategies." Noose explained "Lot of numbers, and bombing runs. As he can just build units, he can just throw everything at folks like us and sees if it sticks. He doesn't give a shit if his own machines get bombed in his own runs, as like I said. He can just build more. Until a day ago he did try and avoid civilian casualties, but he's pissed on that."

She showed Pixels into another room where the remains of more destroyed Vortex units lay in a pile.
"Units? He's got Firehawks for the skies, tanks and grunts for the ground and well...This place is a desert so if the asshole has naval units I've never seen 'em. Grunts are the one's we've seen the most, humanoid machines quite like yourself equipped with basic firepower. Must be cheap to make or somethin' as he pumps them out at the same rate they get destroyed."

Sitting on top of the remains of a heavy grunt, Noose scratched underneath her collar and continued speaking.
"With the tanks he's got basic energy weapon artillery I've seen melt the skin off of people."
She let out a chuckle and pointed at her skin "Not this. Nukes did this a few years back. I wouldn't have my looks or charming personality left if this was Vortex's handiwork."

"He's got hovertanks equipped with armoured plating and energy weapons. Slow, but don't let them get you in their crosshairs."

Yu and Yosuke glanced at each other when asked about how Yu can withstand holding what's basically a sharp lightning rod. Yosuke merely gave Yu a clueless shrug as he glanced back at Roxie

"Well, we never really get to question the science behind it since we never get to use them other than combat and outside of the TV World." Yu replied, "But if I have to guess, it's directly related to our Persona Ability. Mine can wield lightning and has shown to be quite resilient to the element. Since Personas are a manifestation of ourselves, it's attributes applies to me too." He then rubbed his chin. "Not entirely sure though. As far as I know, there are only a few people who has the same power as Me, Yosuke, and our friends back at Inaba, who are just as clueless as we are."

"Oh...that's um...rather complicated stuff." Roxie says in a unsure manner, but she quickly shrugs it off "But set that aside, I can upgrade this thing's conductivity, and maybe even add in a built-in electric generator just in case your powers are out of gas. I may even enhance its durability with a even much more harder metal, but the problem is that ever since we got here, there is no way I could find a much harder metal than steel. I am thinking of using titanium to replace steel, or something more sturdy than that. Maybe diamond, that's the hardest material in the world, but you can't find a mine around these parts. I'll go ahead and make plans for the generator part and even build it straight away. You can look around the city if you want while I make the upgrades. I heard that the Symbiotes have stopped attacking, and that's good news."

"Yeah right..." Peacock says in a cocky tone "But those guys are still to be not trusted. Those guys scratched out backs, and with few of their numbers, we can easily just scratch them back more violently. I'm saying that those guys are better off dead than continue to live in this god-forsaken city. They did a number on this one and to us, and they should not be forgiven for that. Who cares what they say about the monsters stop attacking? They might plan a comeback attack somehow." It seems that Reed's message has yet to make her agree.

"Hmph. So, we fight Vortex, we go in a battle of quality vs quantity."
The psionic was scratching his chin now. Mass numbers? Scorched earth? That was a different foe than the Aliens of 1999. The aliens used terror and UFOs to perform their dirty work.
"Think sabotage would be possible? I can see an XCOM team infiltrating a tank factory and blowing the thing sky high."
Already the Commander was contemplating the possible situations. The very last thing XCOM needed here was to get caught in an open fight with Vortex, but from the sounds of it Vortex was ill prepared for their production facilities blowing up.
"One more thing. What's the other XCOM like? Their units, just for comparison?"

Cortova listens to Venkman’s explanation curiously. “Huh… so due to us not being human… apparently, reality doesn’t care?” She asks, tilting her head. “Like, you could throw magic at a Sontaran, and she wouldn’t mind? That’s weird.” She muses.

As she hears the shot, she just sighs, putting her hands up. “There are a lot of weapons being pointed at me today… no, Queen. No. Not until they actually start firing!” The last part of that was a whisper, not wanting to start the raiders off.

She sighs with relief as they’re escorted in. “See, we’re fine. Everything’s fine.”

Hearing Roxie's offer on the weapon, Yu couldn't help but let out a smile of fascination. She hasn't fully seen Izanagi's capabilities, yet she already had a small schematic that would benefit both of them.

Soon enough, she mentioned something about the Symbiotes ceasing fire, causing Yosuke to raise a brow. Peacock seemed to doubt that they're actually stopping, kinda like how there's a brief peace before someone shows up at the Midnight Channel.

"Yeah, about that..." Yosuke began with crossed arms. "We should probably keep our guards up." He said, soon letting out a sigh. "I have a bad feeling that something big's about to go down when they attack again..."

"We'll be prepared by then." Yu ensured with a nod, turning back to Roxie. "If we ever come across some of those materials, I'll let you know."

"Okay." Roxie says "Now will you three excuse me, I'll begin my work here." She turns away from the trio before she begins to make the plans for the upgrades.

Bjornson Gudrun: New York Helicarrier​

Bjornson sighed he tried his best to make sense of the omen, meanwhile he had seen that some of these Symbiotes had free will as much as he did but he knew about the rest of them and how they had been forcibly taken over, Bjornson knew that feeling and that he would never wish to return to it. Bjornson was about to describe his metaphor to the Symbiote but he decided to think more about the omen he saw since it was much more important than arguing about something that looked to Bjornson as simple squalor. Bjornson carried his claymore with one hand balancing it on his shoulder as he walked with his free hand on his chin following behind Reed.

Finally Bjornson and Reed had entered the room that housed D.VA and the girls. Bjornson looked to Filia as Reed had a conversation with Filia, Bjornson had approached and answered Filia's question for her, "Whatever the cost may be for her wellbeing, you can know that I as well as others will not let her 'special state' decide whether she is abandoned or not, may it be a hundred times and a hundred times more I, you, or another calms her down before we decide her as a liability rather than an ally." Bjornson said in a rather calm yet upbeat tone.

Bjornson had found a rather comfy chair to sit in before leaning his sword on a neighboring wall and quickly falling asleep, this ordeal had taken allot out of him, he had been running on a slight alcohol induced adrenaline for the fight and now that it was over he couldn't help but pass out. His long claymore sat there, along the wall slightly stained with blood that had caked on and needed to be scrubbed off, but his sword glew it's orange energy and as if automatically it cleaned the blade. Bjornson shifted in his chair to a more comfortable position snoring much more quietly than what could be anticipated.

Dallas had nodded at McCree and Aloy before sticking his hand out to greet the two with a handshake, "Dallas Grove, I am, err, was the Sergeant of the 6th Marine Corps, trench raider division, but I suppose that is no longer a thing now." Dallas had reaching into his rations bag pulling out some wafers and crackers, offering them to McCree and Aloy as something to put on their stomachs rather than what they were actually getting for supply. "Now don't worry this isn't what your actually getting this is just more so something to get on your two's stomachs, I suppose we'll pack you alright before letting you off," he clarified. Dallas was relieved to hear these two weren't working for Vortex but he still didn't know their intent, so he was careful around them. Worst case scenario these two were probably here to take more than they should, best case is that they were telling the truth.

The Wasteland/The Twilight Realm​

Noose studied Pixels for a moment before speaking again, her eyes looking at the joints in it's machinery.
"You don't look like Indian tech." She shook her head "Ghandi likes to advertise his machines, but I've been proven wrong a few times this week." She shrugged "So what do your bosses want to know about Vortex? Other than he's a genocidal prick who's killed a lot of my men." She said with a scowl "At first it was just Raider gangs, but then he turned his attention to unarmed folks."

She gestured to the medical room "People he said he was goin' to help. Poor folks looking for food and shelter and he just...Gunned them down. No warnings, just a lot of gunfire and screaming."

"Alright good, 'cause we're almost there. Had a few buddies clear the routes out here, so we're making a good time."
"Ghost buddies?" Karla asked
"Not exactly."

Swinging her arms back and forth, Karla started to walk ahead, humming loudly with a pleasant smile on her face.
"Try to stay close. This route's clear, but the rest of the Twilight's probably a fucking mess." Venkman cautioned
"I know, I'm just..." Karla shook her head "I thought I saw something."

Venkman stepped forwards, resting a hand on one of her shoulders
"Was it somebody you lost? I can probably..."
"Nah, some a-hole I set on fire." Karla shrugged, a grin on her face "To be fair, there's been a few of those."
"Sorry I asked."

Karla stopped in her tracks "There it is!" She shouted, pointing to a nearby fort. Venkman took a few steps forwards and squinted, seeing the supply depot Noose had converted over a hill.
"Alright, just need to open the portal somewhere subtle. She's bound to have lookouts and I really don't want a paradox in my arse."
"That sounds painful. The ass is the most..."
"Not literally!" He snapped
"I know, I was just fucking with you." Karla said with a tilt of her head and a large grin. She skipped forwards

Finding a place at the bottom of the hill, Venkman opened a Twilight gate and led the others through. With his hands in his pockets, he started to walk towards the supply depot.

Minity: The Wall​

Minity took the hammer in hand, holstering it on her belt "Very well. I shall try to pick somewhere pleasant." She gave Talion a jokey half-smile and looked over at Kot "Shall we go? The sooner this is done the sooner we can attend to finding your family."

Latverivin and Above Gladius​

With the shield down, the Ithorian was able to easily make his way into the city. Few of the Jedi paid him that much mind, simply thinking of him as another member of the order who'd been caught outside of the walls. A few nodded at him, their sabers drawn and ignited and preparing for a fight.
"The Sith have invaded." One of them explained "So I'm glad to have you with us. Strength in numbers, right?"

Kiara got a few glances as her armour extended.
"Damn! Where can I get armour like that?" A soldier asked. A slight smile grew on his face as he looked Kiara up and down "Is that stuff any good?"
-

"There may be a way to prove your worth, Vader." Thrawn said "The Conglomerate is engaged in battle with a nation called Latverivin. It's home to the Jedi order and to billions of people. They have the numbers and firepower to counter the invasion, but a surprise attack from orbit against their fleet could cripple the Sith and end this petty invasion quicker...And hopefully, with less bloodshed."

"But know this. If you turn on the Jedi, if you engage with the people of the country their leader will flay you alive. Am I understood?"

Kot
Kot nods towards Minity and walks towards his Basilisk. Offering his hand to help her get onto the Basilisk. Once on board, Kot pilots the Basilisk up and towards the Skyrim. Going with quite a fast speed, especially for someone who might not have ever flown before.

Lamaosowl
Lamaosowl nods slowly. "Although I am here to help, I am no longer a Jedi." The Ithorian said. "However, I will do what I can to help the innocent."
The Ithorian grabs his own lightsaber and looks at it for a moment before igniting it. The familiar, green blade came back to life once again in a long time. "Though, I may be able to use your help after, though that is something to discuss after."

Darth Vader
"Understood, Thrawn. I will dispatch my forces immediately and notify on rules of engagement." Vader said before turning to one of the commanders. "Prepare a detachment of the 501st for deployment, the only enemies are the pretenders, the Jedi and native population are not be engaged unless specifically ordered by me. Prepare all ships as well and bring me the pilots of the TIE Defender along with the TIE Interceptors and TIE Bombers. We will move ahead while the rest remains at the Executor. Hold the Executor above the country and shoot down any hostile ship trying to escape." Vader said before moving off to the hangar. When he arrives, he is greeted by five pilots. As he gets in, he notices his own starship again. Follow my lead, we will spearhead the surprise attack. Vader said before entering his ship while the pilots enter their ships.
Once inside, Vader starts the procedures to start his ship's engines. When the ship flies out of the hangar, it's followed by five TIE Defenders, 3 TIE Interceptor squadrons and 2 TIE Bombers squadrons, on their way to the surface as the Executor slowly moves into position while it's fighter complement moves out and defend the ship's blind spots.
On board the Executor, stormtroopers move to shuttles as AT-AT's and AT-ST's are prepared for deployment alongside dozens of scout vehicles.
As Vader reaches the planet, he lets the Force enhance his abilities of fighting. "TIE Interceptors, escort the Bombers to the biggest capital, shoot down any threat to the bombers. TIE Defenders, on me and engage enemy starfighters." Vader commanded and the Imperial Fighters follow orders. The TIE Bombers moving to engage the biggest capital of the Conglomerate. The TIE interceptors staying with the Bombers, but intercept any threat towards the bombers. The TIE Defenders, along with Vader, start to engage any enemy fighter to get air superiority. The TIE Defenders and TIE Advance having overal the advantage over the Clone Wars Era fighters used by the Sith. Lacking only the number advantage.

Filia Medici (And Samson) & Carol "Painwheel"
-New York-

Despite Bjornson's answer, Filia is still worried about Carol. "I still don't know how would Carol can go on like this." She says "Seeing her went berserk the second time had gotten me a lot worried. I don't know how all of you can feel about her. Carol doesn't deserve this, but...if she is willing to help us in that kind of state." The thought of her friend has really taken a toll of her thinking. She looks at Carol one more time before getting up from bed and say "I need to take a breather." And then she walks out of the room and goes to the surface of the Helicarrier.

Once the schoolgirl has left, it is revealed that Carol has faked her sleeping and that she has listened to the conversation. She gets up, wiping her tears from the sadness that she has felt from her friend's words, and looks at both Reed and Bjornson and ask "Is she gone? I know how she felt after activating my Hatred Install. But, that's how I was made to be after being experimented on. A creature born of hate created for the sole purpose of destroying an enigmatic being, and I hate being called like that. If only...if only I were to be normal again, then Filia..."

"Yeah." Noose said "I just don't have the men for it. Would your XCOM boys be up for it?"
-
"Well, not exactly. No." Venkman explained, rubbing the back of his head "It's less about species and more about the soul...That and, back in my own universe aliens weren't really a thing. You're human, but. Let's see, how do I say this without sounding like a dick?"
He turned directly towards Cortova "Your connection to those shadow creatures has altered your soul in a way. Not in a bad way."
"Well what about me?" Karla asked "I can do magic and the only chaos I cause is intentional...Most of the time. And your portals didn't affect me."

She snapped her fingers, creating a small purple flame which she played with like a penny dancing between her fingers. As a few Raiders stared at her, she blew out the flame. It had been Gunther's suggestion, not wanting to cause a scene and possibly harm the alliance. By the time Venkman had explained everything (badly), they had been led to Noose's location by Garry.

"So, you're a Mage, a woman with shadows or somethin' and a Tiefling with fire powers?" He asked
"Yup." Karla said
"Sounds like the beginning of a bad joke."

Noose looked away from Pixels as the door opened.
"So what's this about blowing up a factory?" Karla asked with an enthusiastic grin.

Indian Empire​

A holographic image of Ghandi was waiting in Caesar's room, as well as a poured cup of herbal tea sitting on the scientist's desk. Steam rose from the cup while Ghandi took a small sip of his own. Gently setting the cup down, he waited for Caesar to sit down before he started to speak.
"I would like a demonstration of your chemical weapons." Ghandi said, his tone as calm as a still river "The success of your Beast-men army pleases me, and I am grateful for your help in such desperate times but...There is still work to be done. If you are up for it, of course."

Magnus Burnsides and D.Va: Helicarrier Dreadnought/New York​

Magnus looked at the sleeping Bjornson and couldn't help but smile. He turned his head towards Carol.
"I've got some friends that might be able to help with that. No promises, but."
He shrugged "I mean, I'm gonna be heading there anyway." Approaching Reed he scratched the side of his head "Hey doc! How the hell do I get to Gladius-II anyway?"
He showed the scientist his Bracer in the hopes he could connect the dots. Right now, Magnus didn't have time to explain things. He wanted to stay and help both the Klyntar and the people of New York, but he knew they'd fair a lot better with help from the Bureau.
"I need to go to Gladius-II anyway." Reed replied "To explain this...Christ, I'm not even sure what to call it." He shook his head "I told the Council to give me a week before they dropped bombs on this place...But I can't just leave New York in this state."

Ben walked into the room "We can take it from here. Fighting's over, so now we gotta get with the cleanup."
"Are you sure?" Reed asked "Ben, it's going to be a lot of work and you only..."
"We'll manage." He said with a reassuring smile "And you can deal with those political types better than me."

Reed took one deep breath
"You're all welcome to join me." He said "But, know this...With the way the Council treats this place, it could be your only way off this rock." He explained, his tone grim
"Well, you know I'm on-board with it." Magnus said

Hana sat down on a makeshift bed and let out a heavy sigh.
"Could I use a phone?" She asked a SHIELD agent "I gotta call somebody off-world."

He nodded in response "Need to check in with someone?"
"Something like that."

Minity: The Wall​

Minity remained quiet for most of the flight until Skyrim was in her sites. She noticed fires rising in some parts of the continent, the obvious signs of battle and gritted her teeth. It might not have been her birthplace, but Skyrim was her home and she had fought hard and long to keep it protected. The Dragons and their Priests, the Civil War, Harkon, and another Dragonborn. Now a second false Dragonborn had turned the place on it's head, throwing everything she had done into the dirt.

Clenching her fists tightly, Minity took one deep breath. She had observed Skyrim from the air before, and knew how to get to her Homestead. She knew if she were to jump directly into battle Sigmund would simply use her daughters against her.
The Homstead was seemingly untouched by flames, but there were the remains of two large mechanical hulks outside. Before the Basilisk had even touched the ground, Minity jumped off and charged inside.

She struck Talion's hammer against a nearby rock for good measure and kicked the front doors open.

Latverivin and Above Gladius​

Thrawn raised a hologram of Doom on the bridge of his personal Star Destroyer. The sounds of fighting could be heard and he watched as the hologram cut down a Sith Knight.
"Thrawn." Doom said, calmly
"Doom." Thrawn replied "I'm sending reinforcements to the surface of your country."
"You think my military are incapable of handling this pathetic attempt at an invasion?! They're zealots, more focused on dealing a blow rather than preserving their numbers. You would laugh at the strategies I've witnessed today. An entire cruiser, Thrawn! They sacrificed an entire cruiser just to breach the shields of one city! And not even the capital!"
"That may be so, but consider this a test of loyalty. These reinforcements belong to one Darth Vader, and I want to see if he is an asset."

Doom went silent for a few moments, his hologram fighting Sith Knights off-screen.
"I'll allow it. But, do not expect me to show mercy if Vader turns on my people. I've heard about his actions from Skywalker." He said, coldly
"I know." Thrawn replied
-
Within the city, the hologram of the Queen sighed
"Very well. You will die with your Jedi friends. Know that I gave you a ch..."
"Cut this transmission." Luke ordered

Four troop transports flew from the cruisers, backed up by dozens of fighters. With the city's defences, one of the transports was annihilated while another took a few hits, crashing into the side of a nearby building. As debris fell towards soldiers, it was stopped a few meters from the ground by Jedi and thrown out of the city where another troop transport had crashed.

Clone troopers dressed in the red and black colours of the Conglomerate started to pile out, taking shots at the army of Jedi from two directions. The Jedi had anticipated the attack however and with their sabers drawn directed the blaster shots away from the ground forces. A few shots were sent back towards the enemy troops, killing a handful.

At the palace, Doom stood his ground with a red lightsaber in one hand and a charged up lightning attack in the other. His green cloak had been torn in multiple places, revealing the metal shell underneath. It was stained with the blood of Conglomerate Knights, many of who laid at Doom's feet. He stomped on the head of one Knight as he lifted an arm, finishing him off.

"I offered your Conglomerate my aid." He said "You spit in my face with your attacks!" Doom spat "If you harm even one citizen of this country I will kill you all myself!"

Doom was bombarded by the remaining Knights as they hit him with powerful force attacks. He remained in place, with the ground under his feet cracking and a crater starting to form. With his fists tightly clenched Doom took a step forwards. He threw the lightsaber forwards, cutting down one Sith knight and breaking the concentration of the others.

With a split second, Doom moved forwards and blasted another Knight with a ray of magical energy. He screamed in agony as he was vaporised, leaving nothing but pieces of heated armour and a cloak with singes. Doom fired from both of his hands, but the four remaining Knights dodged out of the way. One tried to strike Doom from behind with a lightsaber blow but Doom stepped to the side, leaving the Sith open. He grabbed him by his mask and threw him across the throne room.

Crushing the mask in his left hand, Doom turned towards the others.
"Yield." He commanded

Doom gasped as a red, glowing blade struck him through the back, piercing through his gut. Coughing up blood inside of his mask, Doom slowly turned around to meet the hateful, burning eyes of a Sith Knight. Her face was bruised and bloodied from the fight.
"Well done." Doom muttered. He quickly grabbed her by the throat and tossed her aside.

Clutching his gut, Doom fell to his knees as the four remaining Knights approached him. Firing another blast of magical energy, he managed to take down another two knights before another struck him with the force, knocking Doom onto his back. Coughing up more blood, Doom stood to his feet and using more magical energy threw the Sith Knight to his death off the side of a balcony.

The last Sith Knight approached Doom, holding the glowing, red blade to the leader's throat. Their eyes met.
"Any last words?" She asked, a smug grin covering his face
"Wait..."

The Sith Knight scoffed "Victor Von Doom, the Sorcerer Supreme, and leader of this great nation...And his last words are 'wait'. You have got to be..."

The Knight was cut off mid-sentence as a blaster shot struck her in the back of the head, dropping her.
"You took too much time to gloat, you left yourself open."

Standing in the now destroyed doorway to the throne room was Leia. Seeing the state Doom was in, she rushed to his side and helped Victor to his feet, allowing him to lean on her
"I thought you'd be in shelter?" He asked
"And miss out on all this?" She asked "Besides, somebody had to stick around and save your skin."

Cortova chuckles at Garry’s comment, deciding not to elaborate on exactly what the Vashta Nerada are. Probably scare the guy. “Right. I’m ready to start fighting whenever we say go on this thing. Got all the stuff I’ll need.”

Kiara-Latverivin
And here she goes. She grabs the small, leather bag she needs, with symbols written all over it. She has no guarantee that those soldiers aren’t just humans, so she’s gotta be clever with this.

She glances between the two transports, before choosing the one furthest from the civilian and Jedi forces. She reaches under her armor in a small, concealed slit, brushing her bloody finger across the symbol on her ankle.

“Tachýtita.” She mutters, and grits her teeth, her whole body being run through with magic, feeling like she’s about to get hit by lightning. Then she sprints for the transport she chose, her body blurring from the sheer speed of her running. She clutches the spell bag in her right hand, and her blade in her left. She’s worried about getting blood into this, and triggering the spell early.

Talion and Celebrimbor: The Wall​

From the rock which she struck and flash of blue light had appeared, before leaving behind a mark. Talion and Celebrimbor had been waiting until finally Celebrimbor spoke, "It is time." Talion nodded to Celebrimbor as a bright flash had originated from Talion's ring. Finally in an instant Talion was gone, meanwhile the mark on the roc began to glow until finally another bright blue flash had occured before dissipating and revealing Talion, Talion immediately began to follow Minity and Kot.

Bjornson Gudrun: The Helicarrier​

Bjornson shifted once more, he was having a good dream but began shifting as if it's mood had changed,

Spoiler: The dream

It was of him and his friends sitting around a campfire, singing, drinking, and dancing and enjoying life. It was simple until finally in that night a terrible wind occured, knocking out the campfire. What pursued was screams and the sound of metal slitting flesh, Bjornson reached for his sword and activated it's fire only to see 4 cowled figures, 3 broadly built supposing they were males and one much more thin suggesting she was a female, standing still and staring at Bjornson in the dim yet fiery light.

They had finished killing his friends, Bjornson knew that they would go for him next and so without hesitation he had swung about wildly, sending the cowled figures on a wild ride. A cowled figure holding a broadsword had tried to dodge out of the way by sliding to the right after Bjornson had began an overhead swing, immediately Bjornson spun mid-swing almost instantly switching the direction of the claymore to follow after the cowled figure, lopping the figures head clean off. Next the feminine cowled figure with two daggers had challenged him, she lunged thrusting her dagger forward only for Bjornson to catch her dagger by his blade, when she tried to go for a stab with her free dagger Bjornson had grabbed her wrist and tossed her. As she tried to stand Bjornson speared forward with his claymore impaling the assassin clean through her stomach all the while yelling "Cli get aw tayder! (You are worthless!)" over her cries of pain. Next was a figure with a shield and mace who had swung at Bjornson before trying to slam him with the shield, Bjornson had dodged out of the way before kicking the figure with the shield and sending him falling over before stabbing straight through the man's heart.

Lastly was a polearm wielding figure who had watched Bjornson compete with all his fellow figures, he had applauded Bjornson before taking his polearm in both hands and approached, Bjornson immediately winded up and threw a strike but it was blocked by the figure before the figure finally hit Bjornson in the face with the pommel of the polearm and threw Bjornson to the ground after Bjornson was dazed. Bjornson blocked a strike from the axe of the polearm and had gotten up before quickly letting go one arm of his Claymore and hanging it with his right hand over his right shoulder. The figure wielding the polearm had approached once more before striking at Bjornson only for Bjornson to dodge and make a 'come at me' motion actually causing the Polearm figure to flinch and coast backwards letting Bjornson come in with an overhead grab and toss the figure wielding the polearm to the ground. As Bjornson made ready his last strike which would be an overhead slash he felt a sharp pain in his abdomen through his back, Bjornson looked down to see he was stabbed through the stomach by a dagger, he looked back to see the assassin had stabbed him before he turned around and grabbed her by the wound picking her up and slamming her down with one hand finally stabbing her through the neck. When he had turned back to meet the figure who wielded the polearm he was met by a stab straight through the stomach once more before Bjornson gripped his sword with both hands and screamed in pain and anger, "Ilo de shur tur! (Suckling tool!)" as Bjornson swung with all his might cleaving straight through the figure's arms and chest. The man who had been halved fell to the ground before Bjornson pulled the polearm and Dagger from his abdomen, finally as Bjornson made ready to heal he could not help but mourn his friends.

So much so that he had simply dropped his blade and fell to the ground, allowing sweet and gentle death to take him. Finally as Bjornson believed he was waking up he had awoken to a table set in a feast with his own plate and tankard of wine he looked up and down to see many warriors alike both men and women feasting, singing, and cheering as they had. Finally all had settled down before they had looked to Bjornson and cheered him saying "Welcome friend! we've waited for you!" Bjornson smiled, he knew where he was, he grabbed his full tankard before standing and held it high to the crowds silencing before yelling out "VALHALLA!" the action was met with cheers and chanting back. Bjornson sat back down as he was patted on the back by the other warriors beside him seeing that they were actually his friends, and the conversations that filled the hall grew one man louder that day, as well did the music and singing. Bjornson knew that this awaited him and he would soon achieve it but for now, he was ready to truly wake up.

It had not been a very long nap but it was much longer than normal, Bjornson opened his eyes with a smile that crossed his bearded face. The Scottish giant yawned and stretched before standing and retrieving his sword. Immediately he approached Carol and laughed as he looked down at the opening in his outfit where Carol had left her mark which had been healed.

The scout's response was to turn around, and scratch it's "chin".
It pulled out it's laser rifle, but only for a second as it reevaluated what could happen and put it away with as much guilt as a masked robot could display.
In the meanwhile, the psionic kept speaking.
"Well..."
Then another voice-a deep man's voice was in Noose's head with a rather calculated tone.
"As the commander for XCOM, I can say that we can pull it off. Got the location for one?"
