Undyne - Urban District
The attack landed successfully. Undyne pumped her fist in a short-lived victory as she realized she still had to deal with the issue of potentially splatting on the ground. While everything else happened around her, she summoned more of the small platforms to grasp onto, slipping and falling from one to another, misjudging how much weaker she was growing now that all this adrenaline was beginning to fade.
However, she managed to slow her descent enough so that when she did hit the ground, she wasn't trophied, instead landing on her back with a groan. It was crazy how comfortable Monokuma bits and rubble were when one could be this... tired...
As Undyne succumbed to the unconscious realm, passing out, Tabby's attempts had been thwarted, the explosion preventing him from reaching Kotoko, who sailed out of reach. The sky was illuminated tenfold by the brilliant explosion of fire and flames, and the Monokumas began to retreat, leaving Tabby and Undyne alone.
Then the railgun blast slugged the land, barreling through buildings, ripping apart steel and concrete as it went. Undyne, it seemed, was far too tired to be bothered with any of this, and would be crushed if she were to be left here, having passed out cold.
Speaking of cold...
Kotoko was undoubtedly about to meet an untimely demise as the buildings were coming down around them, until a beam of bright blues blasted into the portion above her, a wall of ice beginning to form. Only feet from her, a man clad in azure and ebony robes with silver armor stood, both of his arms raised, the beam firing from his palms, his face clearly screwed in deep concentration as the wall grew, but it was clearly not enough, merely delaying the inevitable as the building began to crash down all around them.
Sub-Zero dropped to a knee, a bead of sweat rolling down his forehead, before he removed one of his hands and placed it on the ground. More ice began to appear, forming a cocoon around both he and the hateful girl. In mere seconds, the ice began to crack as they were enveloped, but the building did not succeed in crushing either of them, its assault ended by the wall of hard, durable ice. Sub-Zero let out a breath, which cast out as mist before him.
Now, his eyes turned to Kotoko. Hardened eyes that displayed no outward emotion. Old eyes that had seen many, many trials and hardships. The girl he stared at appeared to be relatively fine, save for scrapes and bruises from her fall. She'd fared better from that than most probably would have, but the rubble would have been her end had the cryomancer not saved her.
He had indeed known who she was. Not by name, but by reputation, a member of the Warriors of Hope. They were, however, just children. Minds malleable and easy to manipulate. It would be unfair for them to suffer a fate they possibly didn't quite deserve. He too, had once been led down a much darker path. The Elites he had come here with had all retreated, waiting for the bombing combination between Decimus and Eggman. Sub-Zero had been the only one foolish enough to enter the bombing radius. Or perhaps, foolish was the incorrect term. Compassionate fit far more accurately. Human. Something he doubted Decimus or the Elites could possibly comprehend.
"We have little time. The ice will not hold forever." He offered her a cold hand, brow furrowing, his nose and mouth hidden behind his mask. "I beg you take my hand, if you wish to survive. I can teleport us to safety."

Donkey Kong - The Jungle
And so came the truth. Kirby could in fact
not speak Kong. This wasn't much of an issue for the ape, he had grown accustomed to communicating with individuals who didn't share his language of hoots, howls, grunts, and coos. Scratching at his chest for a moment, Donkey Kong decided a new tactic, butting right into the human's sentence before he could even fully finish it.
With another hoot, Donkey Kong revealed his teeth with a smile, then pulled out a spare banana peel he'd stashed somewhere. Hopefully his fur, as there was nowhere else... external.
He pointed at the banana, then mimed eating one before he tossed the peel aside and put a hand over his eyes like a shade, mimicking searching for something. He then pulled out a red baseball cap that said 'Nintendo' on it, placed it on his head, and did a short dance like a monkey, clearly trying to let Kirby know this was meant to be Diddy Kong. Once again, Donkey Kong made the searching mime, indicating that both Diddy and the bananas were missing.
The hat disappeared. Where? Who knew. Who wanted to know? Kong really didn't care about that part. He then pointed at Kirby, then to himself, made the searching mime again, before offering a thumbs up and flashing his signature smile, attempting to indicate to Kirby that the two of them should band together to search for Diddy Kong and the bananas.
Obviously it had to be bananas. That was Donkey Kong's primary source of motivation. And if you happened to steal his bananas, he'd pound you into the ground like one.

Scorpion - Lich Yard (Silent Hill)
Scorpion glanced back at Bennett, pausing for a moment. "Have you heard the scraping of metal and stone? That's Him." He stated. "The Unkillable. He's the primary reason why so many of those I entered with are now dead and skinned. He will do the same to you, if he catches you." With that, Scorpion began to move forward toward the entrance of Midwich, straining his ears, but hearing nothing. "I don't believe it is Him in there. Normally you can tell by sound alone."
So Scorpion continued his approach, reaching the open doorway and peering inside. The fog had affected the interior just as much as the rest of the town. Broken windows, open doors, obviously the fog would have seeped in. The front entrance led to another pair of doors that led to the main hall, and a balcony above signified the second floor, though this room had no way up there. Scorpion motioned for the other two to follow him inside.

"That's them."
John stared down at the form of Scorpion slowly entering through the front entrance. The Spartan was leaned against the wall on the second floor balcony directly above the ninja, who's back was now to the Chief. He was mostly cloaked in shadow, though he had no real intentions of hiding. His external speakers were currently off as he surveyed Scorpion, then the other two individuals. "You're sure?" He asked.
"Unless you want to find the creepy ghost girl again," Cortana suggested. "They're the only humans we've seen here. Well... I assume human. The lead one doesn't have a heartbeat I can find." John stared down at them for a few more moments, deciding to either let them figure out he was there, or allowing them to get their bearings before announcing himself. They clearly seemed on-edge, and he didn't blame them one bit. This entire place was... awful.
