Private/Closed Convergence Omniversal Heroes

[Yaspen]

Keith accepted the bow and arrow. "Let's do it, then," he said, aiming the arrow skyward. He let it fly and watched as it did it's magic. Hope this is enough to take out that thing, he said, and gripped his bayard. "We should try to distract it somehow, then get to the Black Lion. Those guys
--he gestured towards Thor and Rocket-- "are on our side, I think. If we can get them, too, we'll be able to regroup and live to fight another day." Of course, that was all him trying to think like Shiro. Keith wanted to beat Vegan and beat him now, but with Reagan's arm in bad shape like it was, he was concerned that she wouldn't be able to defend herself. Plus...Keith hated to admit it, but staying to fight without necessarily knowing his enemy was a stupid idea.

 

[Godjacob]

Akame had kept close to Dex, slicing a couple of soldiers who happened to close in on them before she saw someone who also had been carrying someone crash into Dex. With the mistaken belief this person was an enemy, Akame turned to the direction of the one who had carried someone along with what appeared to be a boy and a wolf as she drew her sword and prepared to strike.

Clang!!!
​

A pair of swords flew at Akame, which forced the assassin to block them as she moved back by Dex as she observed the red-haired woman who had launched the attack as Erza stared Akame down in her Heaven's Wheel Armor and had two swords suspended in the air as she moved by Keda & Variant Fox.

"We are not your enemy, in spite of what you may assume, our goals seem to be one in the same." Erza said as she referenced the fact both of their groups aimed to leave with a guy for information.

----------

"Guess you have a point, no such thing as a fair fight."
​

Yang decided to interject after she had seen Iron Man intervene and get a double team strike for his efforts as she propelled herself towards X & Y as she fired two powered strikes from above aimed at their guts as she aimed to return the favor in kind to what they did to her ally.

----------

"Come on Kale! You must have precise timing with your blocks, that is the key to a solid guard!"

"R-right, I'm sorry Caulifla..."

"Don't apologize, you are doing well. You can just always do better!"
​

On the planet of Sadal, two young Saiyan women in Caulifla and Kale had been high in the air as they exchanged blows in an intense spar, or rather as intense the energetic & hyper competitive Caulifla could get out of her more meek companion. The two soon finished up their round as they floated back to ground level; stopping for a quick water break as Caulifla looked at Kale with a smile.

"You are amazing, I know there is awesome power inside of you. You just need to develop a little more agency, gotta trust yourself and that power you have." Caulifla advised Kale, as she always sensed there was an exceptional power within Kale but guessed Kale's own nature got in the way of that. Kale frowned, as she turned her back to Caulifla and paced a bit ahead as she tried to to think of an appropriate way to respond.

"N-no, you are the amazing one Caulifla. Y-your strength, your confidence. I'm nothing like that." Kale said in response, as she had taken note of some odd crystal on the ground which gained her curiosity.

"Oh come on Kale, beating yourself up will only limit your insane potential!" Caulifla said in encouragement, though before Kale had a chance to respond or Caulifla could add on a portal suddenly appeared that began to suck up Kale; much to the Saiyan's collective horror.

"C-CAULIFLA HELP ME!"

"KALE I'M COMING!"

However, Caulifla had been just half a step too slow as she flew past Kale just after she had been sucked through. Caulifla glanced back as she watched with horror.

"KALE!"
​

-----------
Kale herself appeared in the air through the portal and began to free fall over the heads of Hiro and Hunter, something the latter had taken note of as he glanced up before his eyes widened.

"Crap! We got another." Hiro said to Hunter before he prepared to use the Pixie Dust once more for flight; however, he found that had not been needed as Kale managed to gradually glide down on her own. Though as Kale saw the two strangers, she assumed a panicked expression and stepped back on reflex.

"W-w-who are you? Is this Planet Sadal? Where is Caulifla?" Kale asked, a slight stutter in her voice as the confusion and fear had been present as Hiro figured he needed to try and settled the girl.

"I-it's okay. Look, we are all kinda...away from home. And we are working together to try and get back home. My name is Hiro..." Hiro said as he introduced himself and left the option for Hunter to do the same open.

----------
The Lucario moved back as Vegan continued his attack on the pair as he tried to figure out what there was to do. One was similar to Sir Aaron, but given what the real one had done combined with the less than flattering nature of the majority of humans he had met he had little reason to trust these two that they were different.

On the other, Negan had only become more of a monster and seemed to better reflect the vile creature he believed they were. Was this alliance still worth it? Lucario shook his head and decided to focus in anyway as he slammed his arm spikes together and used Metal Sound to produce and ear splitting soundwave towards the direction of Reagen and Ketih.

---------
Toph would follow Sans as she kept focus on trying to sense for anything, or anyone that they might encounter as they moved through the door that could possibly give them trouble.

Whatever it was, Toph felt she could handle it. Had the same feeling for Sans as well, but Hughes seemed too much like a Sokka in this situation battle wise and the two robots were...wildcards, to say the least.

 

[Pro Hero Dekiru]

Dex looked at the newcomers; they were out of the blast zone, so that was good. He thought of one thing to do. He stretched his hand up, firing nine shots.
... _ _ _ ...

Morse Code for SOS. Hopefully they couldn't read it. Even more hopefully, Midoriya or somebody else could.
The guy on Dex's shoulder started to stir. He slammed his hand to his head, and he went back down. Dex drew his sword.
"What makes you think we'll just go ahead and trust you? You attacked us first, hypocrite."



Midoriya turned and noticed the shots. He recognized that as a signal that heroes send when in danger; Morse Code for...
"Kacchan, that could be him! We gotta go, now!"

 

[Ariados twice]

A black cat of Geopardmon's height appeared. She had purple bangs and a purple 'holy ring' with the Japanese kanji for darkness all around it on her tail. "What'd I miss?" Yami no Neko asked. She immediately created a scythe out of solid darkness. Raitourufu howled to get everyone's attention.

 

[BurbleBurble]

"Aye, I s'pose yer right." The Hunter told the far more compassionate Hiro. "The hunt has embittered me. Never can be too sure what'll jump out at 'cha. Even little fellas can be dangerous." He gave one last glance at the group as he walked away. "Yeah...They do look like children. Gotta say, I probably don't look like the friendliest fellow now do I?" He chuckled at his own appearance. Yeah, hunters weren't quite the nice visage to anyone outside Yharnam. In that city, anything that wasn't a beast was a pretty nice sight.

And the sky suddenly cracked apart, a person falling towards them. The Hunter unsheathed the cleaver saw, unfolding it into a full blade- Hiro was far less jumpy, seemingly wanting to...help this person? Ah, right, the embitterment, the jumpy thing...honestly he needed to work on that. Pretty quick realization considering where he was before.

Hiro introduced himself to the new figure, who seemingly was panicking at the sudden change in environment. Wait...whoa. Hold up. Were they...from different worlds? He assumed Hiro was from another continent at the least, but world? Planes of existence? It was a little too much for the Hunter to handle. And then he realized he was sitting there, with his weapon unfolded and unsheathed, when Hiro clearly was setting up for him to introduce himself. "I, uh...Yeah...Call me the Hunter. Pleasure to meet 'cha."

His saw was still out, unfolded and prepped like a weapon. "Uh, sorry for...this. I'm a lil' jumpy. Just got here a few minutes ago myself..." He extended the hand that was not clutching a weapon as a sign of peace. A handshake gesture. Least he could do, really.

 

[Ariados twice]

"What do you mean by that?" Achilles said to Dex. "I merely crashed into you. Sorry about that by the way" Achilles said. He turned to Akame. "And excuse me miss, but do you always assume everyone else is a possible enemy. Jeez!"

 

[StormingCobra]

Peter shot more web grenades around Shantae in a circle before firing a taser web directly at her. He barred the doorway once again, this time with taser webs, to prevent his opponents from escaping.

Rocket landed on the ground feet away from Vegan. “Time to pull out the heavy artillery,” he said as he pulled the Hadron Enforcer from his bag. He aimed at Vegan and fired the large missile at his face, aiming for the creature to swallow it and hopefully blow it up while inside the monster. Thor summoned three lightning bolts behind Vegan to prevent escape from the attack.

Bowser got up and charged Thor once again, but the God of Thunder struck him once again with Stormbreaker, knocking him back onto the floor. He kicked Bowser into the air and flung him over to where Lucario was.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Kaleb’s Charizard used Dragon Blitz, an improvised attack Kaleb had created a while ago as a combination of Dragon Rush and Flare Blitz. He struck the opponent’s Garchomp directly in the chest, and the other Dragon type collapsed.

“Garchomp is unable to battle,” the referee said. “Charizard wins!”

Kaleb had successfully defended his title of Sinnoh Champion once again. He congratulated the opponent on his performance in battle before returning to his room.

There was a glass shard on his bed. Not knowing of this, Kaleb pulled the sheets off to get into the bed, only to see the shard. He picked it up, but he felt a strange pulse coming from it. Suddenly, he started to get sucked into it. Unable to escape the tractor beam, he was pulled in.

 

[comic]

Vegan felt everything slow again. This didn't much seem to affect the light wolf's blocking skills, but as his head swiveled about, he noticed some bipedal Racoon about to fire its weapon at him. At this, Venom took full control, contorting its body in an unrealistic way that somehow didn't affect Negan inside, as the blast from Rocket's weapon fired past Vegan, who'd dodged it, and it continued on towards Raitourufu. But Vegan didn't notice the arcing electricity until it was too late.
The bolt of lightning slammed into Vegan forcing them away from Raitourufu, gyrating as they fought the attack. Once it stopped, Vegan remained standing. "Pathetic." They spat. "They say you're supposed to be a God. We think you're just playing it."

------

Following Toph's earlier directions, Sans led the others down the hall, passing by a hall stretching to their left. "second left, tunnel down." He muttered under his breath as they traversed down the dark hall. Deciding to do something to pass the time, he glanced to his right, to see Toph, who was walking beside him, though a little behind. "you ever have trouble figuring out where to go with your condition?" He asked.

 

[Godjacob]

As Lucario fired Metal Sound, he had taken note of Bowser who was knocked his direction as he jumped back to avoid having the turtle dragon crash into him.

Lucario turned its focus to the Asgardian, as he used Double Team to generate dozens of after images all around Thor as they all charged up Aura Spheres and fired at once; as they seemed to attack from every angle though the real one aimed for Thor's back.

-----------
"In an unfamiliar environment, one can never be too cautious. A habit I guess, what you learn to develop as an assassin" Akame countered as she spoke in her own defense while she kept her sword trained to the new group.

"Look, I believe we both want the same thing. I'll assume you guys are from various, different worlds and now want information from that hostage of yours. Would I be correct?" Erza asked the group, as she kept her focus on them and her guard up but had made no other advance to them.

----------
Kale saw as the one named Hunter, who seemed a bit on the imposing side...especially compared to the guy who seemed to walk around with a giant key, offered his hand to her as she seemed a bit reluctant to accept it. Though she eventually did, and knew it would wise to introduce herself to the pair as she took a deep breath.

"K-kale." Kale replied with a mumble, though loud enough to be heard as she nervously tapped her index fingers against each other before she faced the two.

"S-so, if this is not Planet Sadal. There w-where are we?" Kale asked with understandable confusion as Hiro rubbed the back of his head before he tried to answer the best way he could.

"Well, we don't know. And we're trying to figure that out. We need to find someone here, "willing" to talk or share information. I think it'd be best for now if we stick together, strength in numbers you know?" Hiro pointed out as Kale, despite her reservations about these strangers could feel they seemed...geuinen enough, and in truth the alternative of being completly alone in this foreign world scared her enough that she would look past her nerves about them as she gave a nod.

-----------
Even if Sans had meant that question in a...non-offensive way, would spark a defensive side to Toph as she overheard that question as she scowled a bit before she moved to take the lead position.

"I've done just fine up to now, and that isn't gonna change anytime soon." Toph said matter of factly as she seemed confidence enough in her ability to get around despite her..."obvious handicap."

 

[Yaspen]

Keith instinctually covered his ears when the Metal Sound went off, dropping his bayard. He recovered quickly enough, picking it back up and reactivating it. "Well, we're in a fight, and Reagan's injured," he said, looking at the cat thing. He blinked. The whole situation was weird, but he guessed he was better off just accepting it. "That thing over there is trying to kill us, and we need a diversion so we can get to the Black Lion and get out of here. Think you can do it?"

 

[Ariados twice]

"Well, usually that's Raitourufu's thing. But it's not something I can't do." Yami no Neko said. A large dragon made of darkness appeared suddenly near Vegan. The dragon roared and hit Vegan with its tail, aiming to send him flying towards his allies. "Everyone fighting against the bat wielding creep and his allies come with us." Raitourufu called out. "We need to regroup, we're too overwhelmed here."

 

[comic]

Vegan was struck by the tail, but instead of being flung away, they clung on, attaching themselves to the tail. "We crave you, Dragon Sandwich." They snarled, crawling up the tail, towards the torso like a lizard on a rock, grinning, claws digging into the beast with each movement.
Again, Negan was disappointed at Venom's lack of creative thinking. Dragon Sandwich!? This had to be a real low for snarky comments in Negan's life. He was just glad he hadn't come up with that one himself.
------

"kid, i meant no offense by it." Sans stated, allowing Toph to take the lead. If she could tell where they were going, he didn't really mind much. "just tryin' to make small talk. how about jokes, huh? you like those?" His grin widened. "i got a ton of 'em. you already heard a few from this bag of bones, but i think i got a 'femur' up my sleeve." He winked as he said that, hoping to lighten her spirits.

 

[StormingCobra]

Thor leapt into the air, causing the Aura Spheres to miss and collide with each other instead. He threw Stormbreaker at the mass of attacks, causing an explosion of lightning to engulf the surrounding area. He pulled Stormbreaker back to him and threw it at Vegan.

Rocket threw a grenade above Vegan before flying over the creature, landing behind him. He fired at him with the Hadron Enforcer once again, attempting to distract him long enough for Stormbreaker to hit him from behind.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Kaleb was spat out directly behind Rick and Ridley. As he fell through the air, he released Charizard and landed on the back of the Fire-Flying type, flying down to the ground. He sent out his Pangoro, who stood next to Charizard, ready for a battle.

“Who are you people, and where am I?” he asked.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Vader ran at Keith, swinging the lightsaber in an attempt to decapitate him. Bowser jumped back up and blasted fire at Raitourufu and Yami no Neko. Rocket fired another shot with the Hadron Enforcer, this time at Vader, but he deflected it with his lightsaber, and the missile went towards Lucario instead. Bowser leapt at Rocket, who dodged the incoming body slam attack before dropping a grenade on his head.

 

[Yaspen]

Keith ducked and rolled, aiming a blow to Vader's legs and avoiding the loss of his head, then got up and prepared to run. He'd have to be quick, and hopefully keep the armored man and the turtle thing from being able to strike. The missile was already out of his range by now, so it would be up to Lucario to take care of it. Keith didn't doubt that the lupine creature could handle it.

 

[Ariados twice]

"Apparently no one is willing to listen. Nor the baddies willing to give up." Raiturufu said in an exasperated tone. Yami no Neko turned her scythe sideways, then slid it under Bowser. She pulled it upwards, aiming to send the creature flying skyward. Meanwhile the dragon made of darkness roared in pain. It whipped it's tail around in an attempt to get him off.

 

[Funny Sans Rat]

Ridley's suit formed something similar to a saddle on the his back, The suit folded down a mask over Ridley's face. A message was being displayed on the HUD "Transformation locked due to the downloading of DNA, abilities will be returned once download is finished, sorry..." Ridley 'pawed' at the symbol on his chest, the symbol went dark, Ridley then realized what had happened, The suit diplayed another message "I'm trying to allow you to use the watch while it is downloading... three... two.... on- oh, that, that's bad... You're gonna wanna brace yourself for something that's really gonna sound bad... That download is gonna take a long time, so you're stuck like that for a while, Have fun I guess?" Ridley stood there, confused and worried. Suddenly, somebody fell from behind them Ridley turned to face them, they seemed to have creatures, like Pokemon, Ridley seemed confused. Suddenly, the suit formed a 'Head' (More like Skurd from Ben 10 but coming from the side of the saddle) "Wold on, before we answer you, who are YOU?"

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In a galaxy far, far away, General Grievous was chasing down a Jedi, "You cannot win, Jedi, I shall give you a warriors death!" The Jedi tripped, Quickly getting up and activating their lightsaber, Grievous took two lightsabers from his waist, activating them, He slashed at the Jedi, the Jedi blocking the hit, Grievous slashed with his other lightsaber, that slash being blocked too, He jumped over them, slashing at them again, They fell forward, Grievous raised his lightsabers, stabbing right into their back, They screamed in pain before getting their head cut off by him. Grievous Grabbed their lightsaber, walking away before noticing a Strange shard, it opened a portal and sucked him in, He landed near a strange creature, a raccoon and a few other people.

 

[Godjacob]

Lucario cursed as he jumped back while the after images had been destroyed in one fell swoop by the thunder-type human. A...curious classification to be sure as he observed the ever chaotic battle before him.

This...this is insanity. In mere minutes they've descended into mass chaos and destruction. Expected of their kind, but still disgustingly impressive they managed to devolve to this so quickly.

Before he had a chance to react to all that and make a next move, a portal opened as another metalic figure appeared next to him. A rather imposing one, which caused Lucario to assume a defensive stance as Aura glowed in its two paws.

"Who...what are you?" The Lucario telepathically asked, as this creature seemed non-human or animal.

----------
Toph heard of Sans bad puns, and she had to admit...cheesy as they were they did offer some comedy in this situation as she could not help but chuckle.

"Okay, gotta admit you are pretty funny. I should introduce you to Sokka if I ever get the chance. You two would hit it off. And hey, he may actually learn to tell a funny joke." Toph said with a grin as she continued to lead the group through the maze.

 

[Funny Sans Rat]

Grievous Turned to Lucario, His eyes narrowed as he said, "I am General Grievous, Supreme Commander of the Confederacy Of Independent Systems' Droid Armies and I DEMAND to know what was happened and why you, of all things brought me here!?" He reached for a lightsaber
around his waist, Not pulling it out but leaving his hand on it, his hand was concealed by his cape. His expression turned dull as he waited for a response.

 

[comic]

Vegan turned to see the Racoon tossing yet another grenade. How annoying. They quickly scurried to the underbelly of the best just as more of Thor's lightning struck the spot Vegan had just been crawling, which happened to be the dark dragon thing. "We tire of this body and its limitations." Venom growled. Negan, inside of the symbiote, blinked. He'd hardly been in control this whole time, and now, was it... planning on leaving him!?

------

Sans let out a pleasant 'heh' at Toph's comment, before glancing ahead. "that second left is comin' up. guess we should take it, huh?"
And so they did, another silence befalling them, before Sans finally spoke again. "i didn't mean to offend you earlier. i understand how you feel, i have a... condition myself."

 

[Pro Hero Dekiru]

Midoriya watched the situation from above. He didn't know whether or not they were hostile or not, so he prepared in advance.
He held his middle finger back with his thumb, getting ready for a Delaware Smash. He didn't activate One For All yet; he might later on if things went south. All he had to hope for was that A, things would turn out okay, and B, Kacchan wouldn't attempt to kill anybody.


Dex reluctantly put his sword away.
"Okay," he said, still skeptical of their intentions. He looked around, eventually spotting Midoriya with his hand outstretched.
"That looks like..." he thought, his mind drifting to the Sports Festival.
He had watched it all the way through, recalling how Deku shattered waves of ice with a simple flick of his finger. Though it left his limbs damaged and broken. He heard rumors that Midoriya had gotten surgery after that battle with Todoroki.
He focused on the newcomers.
"So. What exactly were you planning on doing by jumping us like that? You don't look like the type of people that would do something without reason. So spill."

 

[Yaspen]

Hughes had remained silent, in thought. With all this strange activity, could it be possible...No, what were the odds of someone from his home universe arriving here? He spoke up. "Hopefully that condition won't get to be too much of an obstacle. Not that you seem to have an issue fighting," he added with a grin.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"I don't know about these guys, but I'll help you out," Ashley said. "We're in some weird new world or whatever and don't know what could be out there waiting for us. It'd make sense to group up." This was the same mentality she and the other Outcasts had shared upon being dumped into an unknown wilderness, and it hadn't resulted in anyone dying yet.

"Fair point," Ed said simply, looking towards the others with crossed arms. He had no idea whether or not they would even want help. Todoroki seemed to have an abrasive personality to match his own, which meant that he was likely to refuse help unless he felt he really needed to.

 

[Ariados twice]

Achilles looked in the direction Dex had. 'Wait, is that - ?' He cut off his own thoughts, shaking his head. 'Focus Achilles! You can figure out if it's him later.' He turned his attention back to the other group. "I think its fair to say people from both our groups jumped the gun. Let's see, how can we explain what happened to us without having to stop to breathe. Oh wait, I know." He started to project his thoughts so everyone could see them. His memories starting with him getting sucked into the first world, up to now. Which included him squealing Erza's name, which was kind of cringe worthy.

 

[Godjacob]

Bakugou glanced back at Midoriya as he kept up his stun grenade, and took note of his attempt to message him with sign language. While Bakugou had little way to know what Midoriya said specifically and in spite of his reputation for being an impulsive hothead, he was no idiot and understood that it was a signal to back down.

Even as tempted as he was to fight, he moved beside Midoriya in preparation to leave. "Did you someone we can get to talk?"

Akame would have questioned the newcomers more, but then she was hit with a flash of memories not her own which confused the assassin. If only momentarily as she raised an eyebrow at them.

"What was that?" Akame asked, as Erza figured an explanation was needed.

"He sent memories of what he had seen to this point. Showing that we, like you, are foreign to this world and very much desire answers just as you do." Erza explained as she hoped that Dex and Akame would believe what they had been shown and their own words.

----------
"Yeah, we should." Toph said as she would take the second left and continued to lead the group; feeling the area ahead with her seismic sense to try and spot any potential problems that they may encounter.

"Eh, not your fault. Just the expected reaction when someone sees me for the first time...even if it gets old. And what condition?" Toph asked Sans, curious what issues a magical skeleton could have that struck the same cord as her own perceived "weakness" for her blindness and small frame.

"Nah, kicking down guys is what I happen to excel at. And if they all are made of metal like the other guards here, will be a piece of cake. Though I wonder, what do you do. I saw Mr. Bones here show his stuff...even if I didn't get the best view so I am curious what your skills are." Toph asked Hughes, naturally curious as she had a taste of Sans magic abilities but was curious if Hughes was some skilled swordsmen or had some hidden ability she was unaware of.

----------
Lucario took note of the newcomer, who introduced himself as some sort of commander and had also taken note that he appeared to shuffle underneath his cape; reaching for a weapon, something Lucario had picked up on while training with Sir Aaron as a means to counter those with hidden weapons.

"I had no influence in you coming here. Commander, though I have more questions to ask of you. I'd advise that you stand down now, before I figure our if you are man, beast or something else the hard way." Lucario threatened, as the droid commander had done little to intimidate the Aura Pokemon as he tried to dissuade Grievous from reaching for...whatever he tried to reach for underneath the obstructive clothing.

 

[Yaspen]

Hughes laughed. "If you mean powers like yours and Sans's, I'm afraid I don't have any of those. Just the weapons that I carry and what's up here." He tapped his temple with his index finger and grinned. "I could have learned alchemy back home, but I just never quite got into it. Not that that's necessarily a bad thing," Hughes added in a slightly more serious tone. He was well aware of what State Alchemists were forced to do in Ishval from Roy's account, and was thankful that he never had to actually do anything that his friend had needed to.

 

[Pro Hero Dekiru]

Once Dex recieved the wave of emotions and memories, he took a step back and tried to take it all in.
"O-okay," he said, confused. "That was... enlightening."
He tried to think of a plan.
"Well then, I think it would be best for all of us to regroup. We can use combined force to get the guys we took to spill."
He patted the back of the unconscious man on his shoulder, as he slightly groaned, still out cold.
Midoriya noticed this.
"Yeah, they got someone! Looks like a soldier. I think... Huh. that gear he's wearing. Doesn't look Asian... it looks kind of like old Soviet gear. That's weird... the Soviet Union shut down a long time ago. Maybe we are in a whole other world. I guess those soldiers from before must have been more Soviet soldiers. Wonder what they're doing here... Maybe... alternate future? No too crazy... or not crazy enough? Maybe..."
"MIDORIYA! BAKUGOU!"
Deku looked back to see Dex with a group of others.
"We found some more people! Looks like they're on our side!"
"Are they from this world?"
"No, I don't think so."
"...Eh, at least we got a guy... Good enough!"
"You two, come on!"
Midoriya activated Shoot Style as he jumped down, doing a somersault in the air. He landed behind Dex, green electricity crackling behind him. He looked back at Bakugou, hoping he would follow.
Deku readjusted his arm braces.
"So... who are these guys?"


Todoroki shrugged and walked away from the situation.
"Well, I'm going to find my classmates. Bye."
He got to the point where he got a good distance away from the group, so Uraraka and Iida got up and rushed to follow him. Uraraka managed to stammer a "Bye".

 

[comic]

Sans said nothing as he listened to Toph speak, which was followed by a moment of silence.
Remembering Toph's question, Sans smirked. "i'm weak." He stated. "probably the weakest being you'll ever meet. i have a pretty bad 'condition'." He paused as they moved on. "it's uh... a little difficult to explain. where i'm from, we have a stat counter. i have the lowest stats of any being. one attack, one defense, one hp. in other words, anybody could kill me with a simple punch. that's where i'm weak."
There was another pause, before he looked at Toph. "but we're similar in a way. despite your blindness, you've found a way to work around that, and use it to your advantage. i might be weak, but i have to exert a ton of attacking force to get the job done. not to mention i can bend space and time." He shrugged, closing his eyes as they walked.

 

[Yaspen]

Ashley crossed her arms, frowning at the group as they left. Yet she was waiting. The girl kind of wanted to show off her other power. She knew it would be smarter to hide her second power in case things went South, so she could catch them off guard, but that wasn't exactly how you made allies. Ed was already running after them as fast as he could. Ashley then smirked and began to fly, doing a quick barrel roll before leveling out and landing on her feet just behind Todoroki. "What part of 'I'll help you out' do you not get?" she asked, though her grin betrayed the fact that it was just a joke.

 

[Mechanist Gamma]

“Alright then.” Nathan lowered his pistol. “Now, are you on our side or not?”
X and Y quickly blasted their jets, soaring out of the way of the shotgun blast. Iron Man tackled X to the ground, and Y aimed at Yang again, firing off a ton of shots.
As Shantae danced, some parts of her were webbed up but she continued to dance. When the dance was complete, Shantae vanished... and standing in her place was a giant elephant, that ripped Peter’s webs to shreds.
“And now there’s an elephant. WHY.” Tony said, surprised.

 

[Ariados twice]

Marron was silent. He stared, wide eyed, at the newcomer's Charizard. Raider glared at the newcomer's Charizard. "Yes, who are you?" Alec said. The IDPF officer waited for an answer.

"Yeah." Alicia said. She flew over to join Ashley. Gao and Okimi ran to join the group. "We're willing to help." "Yeah." Okimi chimed in. "Besides, strength in numbers, right?" "True as that is." Alicia said. "You probably became more willing to join up with them because Bakugou's one of the ones they're looking for." Okimi stuck her tongue out at Alicia, then fell back, blushing.

 

[Yaspen]

Ed caught up with the group. "Speaking of...knowing this guy," he said, "You never did answer how you knew my name. If we're not from the same world, how the heck is that possible?"

 

[Ariados twice]

Gao turned to Ed. "Simple. In our world you're part of a fictional universe." Gao said. "Though we've, or at the very least I've, seen enough of you in that universe to at least know your name."

Kaleb’s Charizard growled at Raider. “Kaleb Storm, Champion of the Sinnoh Region, Elite Pokémon Trainer,” Kaleb said. “Now, would you mind telling me who YOU are and WHY I am here?”

Peter fired another taser web at the elephant in an attempt to stun the creature long enough for him to help out Tony. He jumped towards Y, trying to help out Yang.

Thor took this opportunity to pull Stormbreaker back to him and throw it at the distracted Vegan once more. Rocket fired the Hadron Enforcer at Bowser once more, knocking the Koopa King down. Vader attempted to use the force on Rocket, but Thor knocked him over.

"So a regular guy huh? You remind me a lot of Sokka really. Only older and...given your family, better at that romantic stuff." Toph said as it appeared that the universe needed to add an "average joe" in every group. Toph would not immediately look down on Hughes for his lack of special powers, though she would need to see what he could do in person to properly judge him as a fighter.

Toph also listened to Sans as he explained his situation, and while she had no concept of what "stats" were it seemed the two were similar in the sense of having an "obvious" weakness but managing to turn it into a strength. Something Toph could respect from the human skeleton.

"I see. Well, we both made the best of out shortcomings and I saw screw what other people think. If they look down on us, we kick their teeth in." Toph said with a smirk at the mental image as they walked along the maze, though she had a question of her own even as they walked.

"Say, you got any friends back home?" Toph asked, as that question made her think of the Gaaang. They had to be worried sick about her, and as she thought of that she already felt a small pit in her gut. She actually missed those idiots, though it served to strengthen her resolve to get back home.

Bakugou was quick to propel himself after Midoriya using a chain of light palm explosives, and pumped in just enough force to move ahead of Midoriya. If for no other reason, to just prove an internal point given his stubbornly competitive nature.

Akame was quick to follow them, moving at speeds fast enough to arrive at the same time as them in spite of leaving last to double check for soldiers or anyone questionable who might have been in pursuit.

Erza glanced over to Variant Fox as she saw the other group leave. "We should get going now." Erza urged as she shifted into her Flight Armor for additional speed as she prepared for a quick getaway as she kept guard and her eye on anyone who'd chase while she allowed Variant and company to flee with their own hostage.

"I don't know, maybe these guys are a circus act or something?" Yang said as she jumped back and fired shotgun shells in response to Y as they engaged in a firefight once more.

The Shantae girl, not that Yang knew her name, had a lot of neat little tricks that Ruby would have been in aww of. Though the huntress quickly focused on Y as she tried to avoid her shots while she aimed some of her own back in kind.

"I suppose we're going with them?" Achilles asked before spotting a certain someone. "Eeeeeeee! It's Midoriya!" Achilles squealed. Welp, so much for good first impressions. He nodded to Keda, then changed back into his Agility Variant, Agilicat. He picked up the guy he snatched. Happy landed on his head. Achilles started to head in the direction the Midoriya and co. had gone.

Sans' grin widened. "oh, yeah. lotsa friends. i'm the life of the party, how could i not have friends?" He chuckled. "there's undyne, alphys, asgore, toriel, grillby, monster kid, frisk, just to name a few." With a pause, he let his grin widen more so, a gleam in his eyes, a softness in his voice. "then... there's my bro. he's the best bro to ever live. his name is papyrus, and he's a very great skeleton. he's my everything. the only thing that matters to me anymore." Sans' smile started to fade. "but... now here i am, in a dimension i'm unfamiliar with, far from home. unable to protect him. i need to get back."

------

Snake didn't relax, but took the lowering of the weapon as a sign that the guy was okay with talking. "This isn't my fight, I take no sides. I have no idea why you're fighting each other, but it's obviously for no good reason." He proceeded to pull a cigar out, lighting it. "If you all pull your heads outta your a**es, maybe we could figure out where we are, and why we're here." Snake took a puff, eyes never leaving Nathan.

 

[Yaspen]

Hughes nodded, both in response to Toph's question and in sort of consolation to Sans. "We'll all get home eventually," he said. "I've got friends back from where I'm from, too. My family, first and foremost, and a lot of folks from the Military. Then there are the Elric brothers." Hughes paused for a second, sighing and casting his eyes downward. "I wouldn't be surprised if every one of them thought I was dead. It's been forever, and I'm not exactly the type to up and take a vacation in the middle of something." He couldn't help but wonder if anyone had been able to piece together the mystery he was trying to solve. For their sake, he hoped not. It had almost gotten him killed.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Lance looked in shock at the elephant in the room. Literally. "What the heck?!" he exclaimed, momentarily distracted from Nathan. Not that he could have done anything anyway.

 

[Mechanist Gamma]

Shantae shrugged off the webs, charging straight at Lance. The Shantae-elephant let out a loud trumpet.
“Blame X for that.” Nathan replied. “Besides, if they’re Soviet troops, it’s legally my job to take them down.”
Y’s shots were far faster than Yang’s shotgun blasts, so she would be winning this firefight. At least she would have been, until Spider-Man swung over. Y fired at both Yang and Peter using her two cannons.
Meanwhile, Iron Man and X had both landed, charging up their blasts. Tony fired off his repulsor blasts as X fired his plasma cannons. The two shots met each other, resulting in a powerful shockwave.

Snake blinked. "They're not." He frowned, clearly confused. "What the hell gave you that impression? We were all brought here through these... strange vortexes. Not..." He shook his head. "Get your pals to stop fighting. Someone's eventually going to be killed, and it'll all be for nothing. They're not Soviets, and neither am I."

-------

Sans smirked at the last part of what Hughes said. "oh, i don't think anybody back home would be surprised that i've disappeared. it's sorta my thing. but... i don't think we have to worry much about how much time has passed, or maybe we do. traveling through dimensions, and existing in another one destroys the reality of time for a little bit." He looked back at Hughes. "see, when you get back home, seconds could have passed. you could be thrown back to the moment you were in, like nothing happened..." He paused for a second, not wanting to freak out Hughes with this next bit, but not really wanting to keep it to himself either. "...on the other hand, you could be thrown back into your world, and find that hundreds of thousands of years have passed. your world might even be gone when you return. time is spontaneous in inter-dimensional travel, especially with inconvenient means of transportation like those vortexes."

"You can't be serious." Negan frowned, and the two entities turned again to see Stormbreaker arcing towards them. They could have easily dodged, but as Negan tried to move, Venom kept them held in place. Stormbreaker slammed into their chest with its blunt side, and for Negan, everything went black. Not like earlier. He'd just been knocked out.
Vegan seemed to explode upon impact, and Negan's form could be seen flying from it as the symbiote wrapped around Stormbreaker, clearly choosing Thor over Negan.
Negan slammed into the ground a few dozen feet away from the action, entirely unconscious.

 

[Yaspen]

Lance fired off several shots at the elephant that charged at him. He jumped out of the way of the attack and let loose several more shots, thankful that he had a large target. "Jeez!" the Paladin exclaimed.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hughes considered this. Things could really go either way, then, he thought. He hadn't forgot about the shape-shifting person--if they were really even human in the first place; what normal person could change form at will?--that had almost taken his life. If he was transported to that same moment, well, he'd almost certainly be dead. But there was also a chance that he could see Gracia and Elicia again. "Yeah...That makes sense," he said simply.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Keith was taken by surprise by Vegan separating, which caused him to hesitate and give Vader a chance to attack. What the actual quiznak is going on?! he thought.

 

[Godjacob]

"Alright, let's kick this up a notch."

Taking advantage of Spider-Man's distraction, Yang shot herself to the ceiling above Y before she propelled herself down from the aerial position as she shot like a rocket towards Y below with the aim to deliver a powered-up semblance blow to Y as she aimed to deliver a knockout shot and put an end to this with one swift action.

----------
"You know how to be the biggest downer ever when you want to be. Or the most inspirational." Toph said to Sans as she heard his oh so "cheerful" comment to Hughes as they continued forward. Trying to sense out...anything at this point.

"I swear, if you end up being stuck on that Mr. Negative Nancy side like a friend of mine back home, I'll kick that bony butt of yours to scale it even." Toph added on, just for proper emphasis to the magic talking skeleton. A mental sentence she never thought she'd ever make before today.

---------
Erza followed Variant Fox to the other group, as she made certain their hostage was secure and that they would not be followed before they would arrive by Midoriya's group.
