"Figures. I bet one of my fellow informant is wondering where I'm at... and once I tell her where I was... she'll officially lose her shit," Lapis whispers over to Abel, snickering a bit from the thought.

So what did Aqua do while she spent the rest of her time in Marvel's version of apocalyptic New York? The young, energetic keyblade master continued to warm up her magic, practicing many spells she knew of. It was a good way to exercise her mind and body, not to mention get her adrenaline going so she would have the type of special energy she needed to kickstart that special tracking spell she wanted to do. Aqua needed to find her charm before it was time to leave!

"Drift!" Aqua cried, causing the boxes around her to levitate. "Stop!" she shouted afterwards, then causing the boxes to freeze in place while they were in mid-air. The master then cartwheeled closer to them and leaped with an outstretched arm, swinging her keyblade until it smacked each and every box back to the ground. Aqua's heart started to beat a little faster. She enjoyed fighting. The master had trained all her life to hone her skills and the act of combat was something she found herself quite familiar with. It was her comfort zone. Certainly more comfortable than living an ordinary life, settling down, dating, getting a job, or anything else. It was all Aqua knew. She needed more.

"Wind!" Aqua cried, taking a step back as she swept a few boxes up into the sky. "Barrier serge!" she called out next, dashing forward with a sheild surrounding her. She bashed into the boxes, knocking them forward. "Mine Square!" she yelled last, creating a batch of white, glowing magic mines that the boxes fell into just as she cast the spell. Aqua's heart was beating even faster now. She was almost ready.

"I know what I'll try next."

Aqua gripped tightly the hilt of her keyblade to focus her energy. "Command Style: Ghost Drive."

3ca760f75d40eca9c100348f9e2d2094.gif

She then glowed while a brilliant white energy. Aqua teleported and flipped through the air, bashing the boxes with mighty swings of her keyblade. While using this power, she could move so fast that she appeared to move in a blur to those watching her. It looked magnificent and flawless, but it was power that she could only use for a few seconds. Before long, the power faded, the white light surrounding her body disappearing.

Aqua panted afterwards, a thin smile on her face. "Well, I think that should just about do it for the training."

Master Aqua held up her keyblade and closed her eyes. "Now, time to try that special spell."

"Track."

The tip of her keyblade became like a dousing rod. It began to point in the direction of her missing charm. Smiling, Aqua followed it, surprised when it didn't take her all that long to find it.

Jack Frost, the same cheeky youngster who had nearly caused Aqua to die the other day, stood within the encampment, swinging around Aqua's blue, star shaped charm in one of his hands.

Aqua rushed forward, stopping in front of him. "Oh! Hang on, that's mine!" she told him, letting her keyblade fade from her hand. She reached out gently. "May I please have it back?"

Jack glanced between Aqua and the charm before smiling. "This is yours? Pretty. I was about to keep it for myself. Although, I've probably caused you enough trouble, huh? Here, take it," he said, giving it back to Aqua.

Master Aqua grinned happily. "Thank you. I was afraid I'd lost it. Where was it?"

"Oh, just somewhere outside of Stark Tower. You must've dropped it after... all of that trouble happened. Sorry about that, by the way. It really was an accident."

Aqua shook her head. "No need to apologize. Like you said, it was an accident. Anyhow, I'll be off then. I'm going to go check on my friends. It was good speaking to you again," she said, bowing her head.

"Okay," Jack replied with a smile and a wink. "Later, sleeping beauty!"

Aqua glanced back at him again, tilting her head in confusion. "Sleeping beauty?"

"Huh, didn't they tell you?" he asked, a grin slowly spreading over his face.

Then, Jack proceeded to tell Aqua about the two people who had kissed her while she was sleeping to try and cure her of her ice issue with true love! :) <3

Aqua's cheeks burned with a blush hot enough to equal the time Zack had asked her out on a date at Olympic Colosseum. She was speechless.

And wouldn't you know it, perfect timing!

The world around her began to change!

Goodbye old New York, hello new city!

When Aqua appeared in the new location with the rest of the group, she just stood there, frozen in place and blushing after having heard what Jack Frost told her.

rs59Dqu.jpg


"Th-That was my first kiss! And my second kiss!"

"And I don't even remember either of them!"

"S-So, whose up for Wanye Manor?" Aqua questioned, her face still beat red.

Yeah, after a moment, Aqua did notice Aoko and the events going on around her, but the poor dear still had a beat red face and hadn't entirely grasped the situation that was going on. :)

"A-Aoko?

Chapter 3 - The Fire Collapses

Continued from here.

Nick Fury stepped forth, his single eye fixated on Frank as he enacted the final, killing blow toward the God of Mischief.

Nick_Fury_CATFA.jpg


"It's... over... It's finally over..."

The wretched beast who had been plaguing all of planet earth in this universe was gone, erased with him the divergent catalyst.

Mission accomplished.

After it was all finished, the Coalition communications beeped, indicating that traitor voting was over. The one who had received the most votes ending up being Felix, who was sent back to the Coalition promptly.

With the situation over and done, Fury's guards, who had been keeping watch over Frigga, released their prisoner. The woman rushed toward the body of her adopted son, tripping over herself with grief as she did so.

"Noooo! Noooooo! You promised I was going to get a chance to speak with him first! But you killed him!" she cried, cradling her son's corpse.

"Ma'am, with all due respect, your son has killed millions. His death is a ray of hope this world needed," Furry affirmed, watching her from where he stood before turning his gave toward Frank and the others who aided in ending the terrible god.

"Thank you. Because of your help, we can now start cleaning up this world. Ridding it of the Chitauri is entirely possible with Loki gone."

Fury then stepped forward to shake Frank's hand, only to freeze in place. In an instant, the entire world around them began to collapse into shards of glass, shattering around them just as it had before it changed the first time...

... Well, what a sight for sore eyes. From a completely ruined New York City to a version dominated by aliens, and now this. Like the other two versions, this city seemed completely decimated beyond relief, and there were barely any signs of life. Numerous buildings were burned down, leaving little more than ashes to ashes. Dust to dust. Corpses of people, ranging from presumably police officers to prison inmates and other people who resembled civilians, also littered the streets. It was like the place had been a war zone not too long ago, and who knows? Perhaps there were people out there waiting, watching you guys for every move. But… well, who could say that for sure? Certainly, there didn't seem to be many signs of life lurking around the place.

Well, except for the scary giant colossus creature that was coming right at you guys, each step it took causing the ground to rumble. It stood at least seventy feet tall, and towered well above the buildings around it.

... Oh, hell.

Shadow-of-The-Colossus-SOTC-Valus-Minotaur-08.jpg



Grail and Specter Knight, as the ones who were the closest to the massive creature, were effortlessly squashed to death under the foot of the Colossus, killing them instantly. Wouldn't wanna be those guys.

...

Uh-oh. That looked bad. But maybe not so! After all, there was a glowing sigil on the top of its head! Maybe that was its weak spot, like in some sort of weird action video game!

latest



Alright, time to—

BOOOOOOOOM!

"HAAAAAAAH!"

Before anyone knew it, a great beam of energy shot from behind the group, directly hitting the aforementioned sigil with a loud explosion that would create a giant hole in the creature's head, causing it to veer around, agonizingly hitting the surrounding buildings, before eventually collapsing and falling to the ground with a great big rumble that shook up the ground for who knows how far?

Well, that was certainly helpful. But who was the cause of that?

As you would all look back at the direction of where the powerful energy beam had come from, you would all spot a woman with red hair standing atop one of the buildings nearby. A woman who certainly made her first impression memorable.

4aJQwCv.jpg



"Phew, that was exhilarating. Haven't released that much energy in one burst in a long, long time!" The red-headed woman said happily to herself, putting her hands on her hips as she jumped down from the building she was standing on, landing onto the ground safely. Looking at you all, the woman would give a smile. "You must be the Murder Game guys and gals! Hi, hi! I've been waiting for you! Pleased to meet you guys!" The woman said pleasantly, bowing briefly. Well, with that, right off the bat, you knew two things about this woman. She was not subtle. And she had at least some understanding of the situation that you guys seemed to be in, apparently.

"!" Shiki blinked, visibly reacting to the strange lady's appearance, "S-Sensei! It's you!"

Only one woman could act like that at a situation like this. Only one woman carried that much destructive power on her, yet used it so casually like it was nothing.

Aoko Aozaki, the wielder of the Fifth Magic.

"Of course it's me. Who else could I be, silly? Well, in any case, hi, Shiki~," Aoko said, waving at him briefly, before waving at Aqua as well. An old friend from another time, but not forgotten about. "And a hi to you too, Aqua! It's been a while, isn't it? Well, anyway, the happy stuff's gonna have to wait for a bit. Follow me. I can lead ya to a place that's more... secluded. I'm not going to let anyone find us! Though I guess I shouldn't have made such a commotion in the first place..."

Well, that's what happens when one makes such a commotion like that.

With that, the magician known as Aoko Aozaki would lead the group out of the city.

---

Abandoned_Garage_by_Ezram.jpg


The parking garage wasn't the most comfortable of places, but hey, at least no one would be able to find you here. Well, at least, that's what Ms. Aozaki keeps telling you. But who knows? What exactly were you hiding from anyway? What was that strange, colossal monster that had approached them back then? Just what was this place?

"Well, I can imagine you're all dazed and confused... Believe me, it's a natural symptom of being in these here Murder Games," Aoko said, taking a breath as she stretched her arms briefly, "But listen here. I dunno too much of the details about you people since I wasn't there with ya, but I do know you've been making a pretty disruptive habit of dimension hopping. Bothers old man Zelretch when other people do that," she said, giving a brief laugh at the snide crack that only she understood, before clearing her throat, "Anyway, I can imagine you guys are a little short on time at the moment, so I'll go ahead and give you guys the short version."

"Once upon a time, there was a peaceful place called America. Well, okay, it wasn't that peaceful. But anyway, one day, on a day like any other, a man came, seemingly out of nowhere, and managed to take over a certain major city, bringing down anyone who dared to stand in his way. And from there, he began to spread his conquest across the entire nation. They called him Bane, and rightfully so. And... ah, well, that's basically it, I guess. I probably skipped out on a few details, but I'm sure you can go without 'em," Aoko said, dismissively waving her hand at the air like whatever she might have forgotten was no big deal.

"Well, ah, anyway, it'll be a pain because if you wanna go on ahead to the next part of this Murder Game. You'll have to find Bane for yourself and pay him a little visit," she said, "Thing is, I dunno where exactly the guy is. But there are several points of interest that you can check out. Be careful though. There are more colossi out there like the one I took out earlier, and much stronger than it at that. If you know what's good for you, you're better off avoiding them rather than trying to fight 'em, though that shouldn't be too hard as long as you avoid the edges of the city. If ya got any more questions, you can go ahead and ask... though I probably won't have any satisfactory answer for you. All I can really say that, for now, I've done what I can without overstepping my boundaries. The rest is up to you guys. Alright? Don't let the multiverse down, okay? No pressure, of course."

Well, that was that. As she mentioned, there are several points of interest to check out, so you may as well go see to them.

Talk about out of the frying pan and into the fire, huh?

Wayne Manor – They say this used to be the home of the man who tried to stand up to Bane, only to be the first to fall. Might be something worth finding there?

Powers Technology Building – In the distance, you can see that this building that stood tall above the other buildings had one thing that the other buildings did not. Functioning electricity, as can be observed from a light being on that can be seen from one of the windows. Pretty suspicious, eh?

The Docks – Ever seen a gangster movie or something? There's always something fishy going on at the docks. No pun intended.

Alleyway – There was a suspicious green question mark seen around there earlier. What on Earth could that mean?

Hospital – You guys look pretty banged up. I'd also advise stopping by and fixing yourself up.

"Other than having her around to tell me of possible bounties and stuff, I don't really consider her a friend... more like a business tie. She didn't even react that much when I told her that I was a Half-Alive," Lapis shrugged, but that quirky girl she had around was quite the strange one. Makes her wonder if that "friend" even knows about her current status...

"Track."

The tip of her keyblade became like a dousing rod. It began to point in the direction of her missing charm. Smiling, Aqua followed it, surprised when it didn't take her all that long to find it.

Jack Frost, the same cheeky youngster who had nearly caused Aqua to die the other day, stood within the encampment, swinging around Aqua's blue, star shaped charm in one of his hands.

Aqua rushed forward, stopping in front of him. "Oh! Hang on, that's mine!" she told him, letting her keyblade fade from her hand. She reached out gently. "May I please have it back?"

Jack glanced between Aqua and the charm before smiling. "This is yours? Pretty. I was about to keep it for myself. Although, I've probably caused you enough trouble, huh? Here, take it," he said, giving it back to Aqua.

Master Aqua grinned happily. "Thank you. I was afraid I'd lost it. Where was it?"

"Oh, just somewhere outside of Stark Tower. You must've dropped it after... all of that trouble happened. Sorry about that, by the way. It really was an accident."

"Anyway, my, my, your face is almost as red as my very hair. Did you go ahead and have a wild girls' night out without me?~" The woman asked teasingly, laughing pleasantly, "Anyway, how have you been? You got acquainted with my little Shiki, I imagine?" She inquired.

Booker followed Frank and Ridley, probably much to Ridley's annoyance.

"You're missin' the point, too. I can't help it. Control it. All Sirens- let alone Dark ones -are monsters.. It isn't my choice."


Ridley.. Practically ignored the redhead. She really had nothing to say to her, and had no real concern over the Colossus. She'd faced much worse monsters.. And always seemed to come out alive, so it wasn't really a big deal to her. Nothing really was, anymore.


This.. Made the girl raise a brow. "You can go wherever the hell ya want, Guns. I ain't pickin' for you." Leaving it at that, Rid started walking for the Alleyway. BECAUSE NOTHING EVER WENT WRONG IN DARK SUSPICIOUS-LOOKING ALLEYWAYS!

@BarrenThin @Verite @Atomyk @Klutzy Ninja Kitty @EVERYONE​
Backtracking through the barren city, practically deserted of life, you would come across the Alleyway of notable... notice. Upon reaching the alley, you would notice a green question mark painted on the wall.

What could it mean? Nothing nefarious, hopefully. That would just be mean. You can either choose to examine the anomaly or travel further into the Alleyway to see if there might be anything there.

"Heya lollipop" Booker smirked and winked in her direction

Now it was Booker's turn for an accusatory finger point. "You shouldn't do that, either."

I can lead ya to a place that's more... secluded. I'm not going to let anyone find us! Though I guess I shouldn't have made such a commotion in the first place..."

Well, that's what happens when one makes such a commotion like that.

With that, the magician known as Aoko Aozaki would lead the group out of the city.

The parking garage wasn't the most comfortable of places, but hey, at least no one would be able to find you here. Well, at least, that's what Ms. Aozaki keeps telling you. But who knows? What exactly were you hiding from anyway? What was that strange, colossal monster that had approached them back then? Just what was this place?

"Well, I can imagine you're all dazed and confused... Believe me, it's a natural symptom of being in these here Murder Games," Aoko said, taking a breath as she stretched her arms briefly, "But listen here. I dunno too much of the details about you people since I wasn't there with ya, but I do know you've been making a pretty disruptive habit of dimension hopping. Bothers old man Zelretch when other people do that," she said, giving a brief laugh at the snide crack that only she understood, before clearing her throat, "Anyway, I can imagine you guys are a little short on time at the moment, so I'll go ahead and give you guys the short version."

"Once upon a time, there was a peaceful place called America. Well, okay, it wasn't that peaceful. But anyway, one day, on a day like any other, a man came, seemingly out of nowhere, and managed to take over a certain major city, bringing down anyone who dared to stand in his way. And from there, he began to spread his conquest across the entire nation. They called him Bane, and rightfully so. And... ah, well, that's basically it, I guess. I probably skipped out on a few details, but I'm sure you can go without 'em," Aoko said, dismissively waving her hand at the air like whatever she might have forgotten was no big deal.

"Well, ah, anyway, it'll be a pain because if you wanna go on ahead to the next part of this Murder Game. You'll have to find Bane for yourself and pay him a little visit," she said, "Thing is, I dunno where exactly the guy is. But there are several points of interest that you can check out. Be careful though. There are more colossi out there like the one I took out earlier, and much stronger than it at that. If you know what's good for you, you're better off avoiding them rather than trying to fight 'em, though that shouldn't be too hard as long as you avoid the edges of the city. If ya got any more questions, you can go ahead and ask... though I probably won't have any satisfactory answer for you. All I can really say that, for now, I've done what I can without overstepping my boundaries. The rest is up to you guys. Alright? Don't let the multiverse down, okay? No pressure, of course."

Well, that was that. As she mentioned, there are several points of interest to check out, so you may as well go see to them.

Talk about out of the frying pan and into the fire, huh?

Wayne Manor – They say this used to be the home of the man who tried to stand up to Bane, only to be the first to fall. Might be something worth finding there?

Powers Technology Building – In the distance, you can see that this building that stood tall above the other buildings had one thing that the other buildings did not. Functioning electricity, as can be observed from a light being on that can be seen from one of the windows. Pretty suspicious, eh?

The Docks – Ever seen a gangster movie or something? There's always something fishy going on at the docks. No pun intended.

Alleyway – There was a suspicious green question mark seen around there earlier. What on Earth could that mean?

Hospital – You guys look pretty banged up. I'd also advise stopping by and fixing yourself up.

"...Well that's just great. I wish I could say it was unexpected but then I'd be lying. Greeeeeat. And after all the shit I did for them too. Testing the teenage time warper, coming so close to ridding the world of the silly elder Carol, giving that blue haired fucktard a goddamn powerful gun...and this is the thanks I get? What a stinking rip off." He growled. Ok yeah, maybe he had been really mocking and a prick and all that but damn, he wasn't a traitor.

...

At least not here.
