Devoid of power, the hospital was fairly dark, though the grey afternoon sky prevented it from being completely unable to be navigated through. Still, the door was unlocked. May as well march right in, 'cause there was no harm in that, right?
As Riley and whoever would accompany him would venture to the Hospital, you would hear occasional thumps and other sounds, as if there were other presences here. Well, that wasn't unsettling at all. Still, no turning back now. Unless you really wanted to.
Eventually, you would be faced with the choice of either keeping straight or turning to the right. Where do you feel like going now?

Plutia looked at the question mark, until...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.

"I get it! It's a mystery hint!~~"
Plutia examined the ? more carefully.

The lone lit room was way up at the very top of the tall building, though the rest of the building seemed empty.
As you would make your way inside the building, seemingly unguarded from the outside, naturally, the building was quite dark. Still, you press on, but then, you'll realize one thing. You weren't alone! Soft footsteps would be heard in the distance, and if you would peek around the corner, you'd spot some armed men.
"So... you got any idea what that Lucy broad's up to up there?" One of the armed men casually asked the other, who would simply shrug.
"Fuck if I know. Does anyone know what she's ever up to?"
"Heh, I suppose you got a point there."
Well, there's that. Whatcha gonna do about 'em?

Upon noting the men, he decided not to fire. Holstering the pistol, he walked toward the armed men with his hands up "Don't fire!" Hopefully they'd fall for the trick "Hold fire. I am a simple man looking for supplies!"

"Hi, Aqua!" Aoko greeted pleasantly, taking the young girl's hands in hers, "It's been quite a while! Sorry I won't be able to accompany you much further than this, as I'll be overstepping my bounds. I imagine I'm already in deep water with the Association, so please bear with me!"
"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.
@Klutzy Ninja Kitty
After a moment of thinking over Aoko's words, Aqua finally snapped out of her embarrassment enough to respond. She pulled her hands away from the red-head and tightly hugged her. "I'm glad to see you, but I really wish it wasn't you who was here. This is so dangerous and I don't want to risk losing any more friends. You can't come any farther though? Are you sure?"
Just as Aqua had managed to wipe the blush away, it returned when she mentioned a "wild girl's night out."
"O-Oh of course not! I-I just-- Uh... it's a long story," Aqua mumbled, rubbing the back of her head. "I did get to talk to Shiki a little... I wouldn't say I know him that well yet though. You seem to mean a lot to him though," she said offering a smile.

Kaku had chosen to visit the Powers Technology House, disappointed that not many others had chosen this route.

He knew nothing about the only one he had seen choosing this route, which concerned him. Kaku wanted people who could be team players. This man was someone he had never met.
Kaku whispered to the man he knew nothing about. "That is one of the oldest ruses in the book. Do you think he's going to fall for that?"

Congratulations, you've discovered a new location; the Movie Theater!
Ridley would discover an old, presumably abandoned movie theater as she would explore further. Though some letters were missing, you could guess that the title of the movie that was featured once upon a time was "The Mask of Zorro."
Beware my sword this, beware my sword that.
Do you wanna go inside or wait until later and go back to the others?
@Hospes
Meanwhile, back in the main part of the Alleyway, as you would investigate the sight further, while there wasn't anything particularly noteworthy about the painted question mark itself, you'd notice that the wall seems rather... hollow. Oh, dear. What might that mean? What might lie beyond the wall? Mystery, mystery.

Not waiting up for Frank or Booker, Ridley rather nonchalantly went into the theater. What could possibly go wrong, after all?

Alice took a moment to get her bearings as always as they hopped dimensions, a bit of sympathy sent Frigga's way as they left that hellish fascimile of New York.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.
"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.
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!
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.
"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.
---
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.

To show up at a third hellish fascimile of New York.
"...What, pray tell, does the multiverse have against this city-" Then the rumble sounded, and she slowly turned to face the source, eyes wandering up the behemoth's massive size as it turned and lumbered towards them.
And sloooowly started to smile.
"Finally. A foe worthy of my talents."
She flourished her hand, a spell card shining into existence between her fingers as she regarded the beast
"Now then. Let us see how the beasts of other worlds stand before the skill of the seven colored puppetee-"
*SUDDEN LASER LIGHTSHOW HEADSHOT*
Alice just briefly stared for a moment as the beast collapsed, her prey swept out from under her in an instant.
"..."
She sighed and followed along. Were it any other time, she likely would have taken more than a bit out of her day to speak with this mage from another world once Aoko had introduced herself, it'd been the whole point of the research that had tossed her into this mess. But alas, they had a task to attend to, and after a brief delegation with her daughters, Alice took off for Wayne Manor, while Shanghai and Hourai hung back, apparently assigned the task to watch over a certain heroic spirit the puppeteer was still suspicious of

Soul gives a small shrug and leans back on a wall, enjoying the soft breeze "No idea how long we've got left here...but I won't miss this place...it's hardly got anything nice to look at, barring the people" he gives her a small grin, as if teasingly, before returning his gaze back to the decimated city "Maybe we'll end up on some beach next...so I can enjoy the view even more"
He was just having a little fun with what he perceived to be a shy young girl, sure, he wasn't exactly lying, but she didn't seem the type to return his light flirts, likely being too embarrassed to do so

"Nope. They say if I get more involved, the so-called influence of the Arch Demon might come over me and I wouldn't even know it. Now that's something I'd rather you worry about instead of my well-being. I can take care of myself. You're such a worry-wart, you know that?" Aoko said endearingly, poking the younger girl on the forehead.
"And well, yeah. I've known him since he was a boy. Half as tall as you are now, I bet," the young woman nodded, putting her hands on her hips, "He's a good person at heart. Even if he still needs some guidance as a young man. But I'll leave that up to his friends, y'know?"

That made her grin slightly. "I could give it to ya, now, then," she remarked with a wink, before returning to look around. "Really, though; you shouldn't be hangin' around me. Last warnin'.
It was hard to tell if she was flirting or being serious. Maybe both.
