• So many newbies lately! Here is a very important PSA about one of our most vital content policies! Read it even if you are an ancient member!

  • "Haha! The Castle actually wants to fight me!"

    Cell laughed as he continued charging his Kamehameha Wave, the ground around him releasing a small wind periodically and a yellow aura glowing around him. Witnessing the blast ready to be released, Cell gave it one last set of words.

    "Magnificent! One last stand against me! A climatic showdown! Give me what your friends couldn't, before I send you home to them!"

    Cell then released the blast towards the Castle, a large blue beam released from his palms aimed right for his opponent!

    Meanwhile Vert was in the safe hands of Katrielle, her large assets look hella convincing right now. It seemed she wouldn't be waking up for a while, that attack practically drained her of her energy.

    @ThePotatoGod @SouthEast

  • As Blanc spoke to the group, Rom immediately retracted her spell; the crystal exploding and releasing small ice crystals to the floor. Putting her wand away, she approached Ruby with an upset face.

    "..Sorry... I'm still a CPU Candidate, I'm getting used to the new responsibilities.. Sorry, everyone..."

    Turning to Blanc with a faint smile, she looked around and wanted to see if there was anything around. She looked quite shy and nervous, perhaps someone in this region could give her some reassurance?

    @ThePotatoGod @Kirie98 @SorryTM @Topless @LuckycoolHawk9 @Crow
 
The pair's eyes widened at the sight of the portal before them. They had seen portals before, but usually not anything like this. It practically emanated power.
Kaoru stepped back for a moment before biting the inside of his lip and following the other two into the portal.


As Sakuto walked, he slowly began to feel his skin prickle. His wings shook for a moment and he flickered in and out of sight out of nervousness. "Hey...do you feel something too?" he whispered the last few words to the woman.
 

  • Mami Tomoe
    Mami let out a relaxed sigh. At the very least, it seemed that the lady was fine if exhausted and drained for the moment. A newcomer had arrived, but there wasn't much time to focus on him, the remaining enemy, or the man who turned into a canine to attack them, as the bugman started to charge and power up one last attack. Even with her ribbons restraining his arms, he still had enough power and raw force to brute-force his way against them?! Seeing what was to come next, she knew that it'd be much better to run and leave for the moment then attempt to restrain him even further. A clash like this was no doubt going to swallow this small corridor up in the ensuing contest of power that was to come.

    As the newcomer took the wolf-man with him by force, Mami released her ribbons on Bugguy in order to use them to envelop Katrielle and Vert, securely wrapping around the two before hauling them away somewhere safe from the soon-to-be blast site!

  • Shinji Matou

    "Should've just came out swinging with all that from the start if you had some cool tricks up your sleeves that I didn't know about!" Shinji yelled, watching and grinning as his code casts paralyzed the Pillar, holding him still for a one-two punch and a follow up attack from that lamp of his Saber! Whatever power or thing it is he didn't know, but all he knew was that it seemed capable of some serious damage! Heck, maybe if they duked it out a little longer with the roaming enemy and its summon they probably could've figured out a plan of action with this! Maybe he should repay that bitch a visit after this horned-prick here was dealt with!

    "You're going to try and pull some more shit out of your ass? Better hope you don't pull nothing but shit cause that Luck debuff code I just cast on you is going to fuck your day up! That's why I love idiots who put in a high-luck stat and nothing else! All you gotta do is yank their one good trait outta them and they're as useless as the stick they wield for a weapon!"

    On the request of Saber, Shinji pulled up his screen and started to type out rapidly. "Got some good stuff coming up for ya, Saber! Keep it up and don't give him a moment to rest! Don't bother helpin Devil guy over there either! He's good distraction keeping Horned Idiot's attention diverted in two!"

  • Blanc

    "I see.." Blanc answered. "My name is Blanc. I've already introduced my little sister Rom a bit. It seems we're also trapped here as well, along with this person here too.." With her hand, she reached for Rom's hat and lifted it up, revealing the little robo-girl that was underneath. "She's looking for someone sporting a ponytail. Have you seen anyone like that?"

    Now that she was up closer, she got a better look at the group before her. There was the girl she was speaking to, who was a bit surprised when they came up on the group. She seemed quite calm and easy to speak with. Then there was the barely-dressed blonde man and the other guy who was putting his hands on the creature, before they all, and her sister as well, forced him to release it. She already didn't like the second guy, but something told her she wasn't going to get along with the first either. Then theres.... the little pink ball? He looked like a Pocketed Monstrosity at first, but honestly he looks and acts more like the character from that game Korby.

    Well, this group could be trouble. Maybe she'll just get an answer or some information about the labyrinth and move on.

  • Filia took a good look at what is ahead of them. Some sort of spider-like being, one that made Filia shiver a bit. "What is that thing?" Filia asked "And what's it doing? I think we should just watch and see what's going on." Filia went into hiding, observing the creature as it seemed to be handling something, or someone.

  • Artoria had managed to send The Fool far away just as her Master picked up Jaune and went North. Artoria wasted no time to follow them upwards. Something about that thing just doesn't sit right with her.

    @ThePotatoGod @Midle1998

  • Adam quickly took a step back when a large crystal of ice suddenly rose from the ground, separating Nicholas from the Espeon. He turned to the one responsible, a pair of siblings and the oldest one apologized for her little sister's actions. The little one seemed to be a very shy type. "It's no problem, really." He spoke "I'm Adam, nice to meet you two." He went up to Rom, the shy one, and looked at her for a moment...before giving her a gentle headpat. "It's alright now, you don't have to be shy around us. We're all friendly here...well, except him somewhat." He said, the last part referring to Nicholas.

    The oldest sister, Blanc, asked about someone with a ponytail who Rom was searching for. "Sorry, I don't think we've encountered someone like her here." He said and then asked "Have you encountered her before?"

    The Warrior's punch was soon met with Berserker's own, both of them letting out roaring grunts as they traded blows at a blistering pace. Equal in strength and rage, their punches cancels out each other most of the time in a storming dance of red and purple lightning, until one clash pushed the pair away from one another in a firework-like explosion, The Warrior skidding on the dusty savannah dirt with both his feet and hands, kicking up a dust cloud as he snarled like a beast.

    The Warrior coming up more bruised than Berserker would be. Clearly, Lancelot had won that match up, although The Warrior is far from done as he began to throw more spears of lightning at the Berserker, intent on skewering the Servant.

    It was during this that Nero and her posse entered the portal of light, finding themselves inside what seemed to be a Savanna at dusk. In front of the group were two beings clashing fists of thunder and lightning. Wanting a dramatic entrance, Nero immediately leapt into action in a dance of flames, parrying and repelling the spears thrown at the other Servant before her blade struck against the golden armored Pillar's fist, causing a shockwave as flaming petals began to rain all around the Savannah.

    "You DARE interrupt a duel between warriors?!" The Pillar Warrior scowled as Nero simply let out a haughty grin.

    "Hah! What better way to make a dramatic entrance than interrupting a savage and tactless duel with a pinch of flamboyancy!?" Nero laughed as the Warrior pulled back to use its other hand to strike at the Emperor of Roses, prompting her to leap as The Pillar made his move, prompting to land onto of his fist with a downward chop, rose petals bursting where blood would've been before The Saber hopped backwards towards the Berserker, letting it do its thing at the now disoriented Pillar!

    "Yeah…There's something up ahead, too. But it feels like they're other Servants, so we should be fine." Mordred answered Sakuto, attempting to dispel his concerns but failing to do so as what she felt wasn't what's lurking behind them–but even then, Mordred was aware when Bloodlust came their way. With a gasp of realization, Mordred made a a heel turn, pushing the man aside as a scythe was brought down where Sakuto was, barely grazing his back.

    "Shit! That was way too close!" Mordred cussed as finally saw the perpetrator–a grim reaper looking fellow, wrapped in a cloak and wearing what seemed to be an orange mask with a black eye on it. Its movements almost suggested it was hovering in the air, without any feet to stand on. "Whatever this thing is, it blended with the other Servants' mana readings–barely felt the difference!" She said, almost laughing at how clever the discount reaper was as it shambled towards the two, glaring at them with its cyclops-like eyehole.

    "Got any weapons on ya?" Mordred asked, glancing at Sakuto.

    Lyca was making such good progress on trying to topple the Power Castle before Banjo swooped in and carried the wolf alien away towards Katrielle and the crew, the former of which was struggling to carry the blonde goddess on her back and has received the help she desperately needed thanks to Mami's magical ribbons, managing to get away from the blast radius right as both sides unleashed their powerful beams, clashing with one another, giving the crew more than enough time to retreat to the south of where they started–well, Katrielle's group, at least. Banjo would see that there was a large, lounge-like room up ahead with a puke stain in the middle.

    "We should at least be safe here for the time being." Katrielle sighed, as he could hear the beam fight rage on in the distance, bright and flashing in hues of blue and gold, but there doesn't seem to be any sign of destruction yet. It would be a good time to see if the walls could be broken down by sheer force alone. "This will be wonderful data for the next time we find one of these Floors again." She nodded, observing the chaos in the distance before taking note of the masked rider among them.

    "Thank you for the assist, by the way." She thanked the Rider with a smile, her monocle now appearing to have holographic screens on them–much like how Sento's suits would often have the same sort of GUI on them whenever they're being used. Banjo probably never noticed them. "Now comes the hard part…!" The Highschool Detective braced herself

    Back to Cell, it really didn't take long for the beam struggle to give way to the real victor, as Cell has easily overpowered the crumbling Power Castle with the green bug man's superior might, prompting there to be a massive explosion that seemingly enveloped that area of the maze. It felt like bracing through an explosive gust of wind, naturally mitigated by a dome like ripple of blue light, acting like a barrier that's trying to keep the scalding air out. There seems to be a flashing silhouette of a tall man in a brown coat holding a scepter out above the girl, struggling to come into being. Most likely due to how sudden the explosion was, making Kat unable to fully manifest her summon, making it appear like a flickering hologram until the air was finally clear, after which, the barrier and the summon disappeared along with the highschool girl falling backwards, breathing heavily as if exhausted.

    In the last moments of their worlds, these people had witnessed the end of all things. An aurora-like cosmic light washed over reality itself, erasing everything and turning them into the void–not even vehicles optimized for space travel is safe, as Samus would note upon witness the extinction of her universe.
    In the middle of all of this, they were knocked unconscious out of the blue–as if someone suddenly shut off the lights, a hardcut from one moment to another. When they came to, their locale has changed in its entirety. From the vast sea of the cosmos in the cockpit of her space ship, and the cockpit of an airbase in the middle of it being crashed, an armored bounty hunter and an innocent looking fox eared boy found themselves in a castle-like locale. A labyrinth of golden bricks with marbled floor underneath, topped with a red carpet, stained with varying degrees of colored blood. From red to unnatural black.

    It's clear that this place is meant to be a sick slaughterhouse for one's amusement. Judging by how gaudy this place is.Lying their backs against a wall that is up north, two paths are made available to the pair; one heading south, and the other to the east, which leads straight to a dead end. There's also a curious wall to the west, which had engravings on multiple written languages from…Well, a lot of places that one could and couldn't recognize. All of which translate to the same phrase; 'Plus Ultra'. The engraved wall also has this circle-like pattern akin to a hatch that Samus would usually shoot to open.

    Now ain't that funny.

    Right behind that hatch-like wall was the sound of an explosion being suppressed, like two forces clashing in a reversed tug of war, pushing against one another in a stalemate until it suddenly burst open, along with the hot air it accumulated by the explosion.

    To Cell's dismay, the Maze wasn't destroyed and has instead been decorated with black burns caused by his beam.

    Filia would find that whoever was at the web right above(underneath?) the Spider-like Pillar was a girl they've known for quite a while; the highschool girl that dispelled The Fool from the first floor.

    Little Miss Power Roulette​

    A well developed girl clad in a red and white school uniform with light brown hair tied in thin twin tails. Though most of her features have been wrapped around, bound by thin webs and confined to the wall.

    "wHaT wOUlD MasTEr NeEDd tHiS Gr1L 4 i wOnD3r…" The Spider-Like Pillar spoke in a glitched tone, its pitch distorted to all hell. It sounds like a robot, barely human, it scratches the bottom of his upper skull, lacking a chin to do so as the other hands cling to the web the girl is confined, looking as though she's having nightmares. "w3 sH0uLD jU5t k1lL her." It said, before shaking its head, disagreeing with itself. "N0, n0, N0. 0u12 M4sT3r h4d Cl3rly g1veN u5 our OrDerrS..."

    It seems distracted on what to do with its captive.

    Meanwhile, Kara Danvers–aka Supergirl, has also been bound to a spider's web, wrapped like a coccoon–as much of a cocoon as it is like wrapping an action figure in plastic wrap.Web clinging to the body to restrict movement, layered to a thickened shell as if it knew what the Kryptonian was capable of. Having woken up for quite some time, she would remember getting pushed off of the maze by a great force before seeing the rainbow flash of light that destroyed her world before knocking out. Then, she found herself here, having quite a hard time escaping this web.

    Canti would be the only sole witness of this destruction of his world, an aurora like light washing over reality in a myriad of colors before his optic feed glitches out, soon displaying what seems to be a golden walled castle of sorts, except if the castle didn't have a roof nor paintings, and there's blood and oil spilled just about everywhere. The area they woke up in a spacious room, save for the lack of furniture and decor. Beside Canti was the Goddess of Death herself, waking up beside the robot for…Seemingly unknown reasons. Before she could be awakened to figure out what's going on, the goddess of death had simply spawned, lying on the wall near the robot dude.

    No fancy portal shenanigans. Like her lore suggests, she literally just 'appeared'. Like waking up from a deep slumber at the hour of need.

    On their west is a blue coral like wall, its holes showing the starry red night sky that's more like a void. If one ventures to the coral wall, they'd find two hallways leading north and south.

    "It's fine! You're just looking out for the doggo." Ruby giggled as she realized that the dog was probably not released from Nicholas' grasp, making her…Slightly nervous at the prospect of the guy. But fortunately, it seems like Nick's not scheming anything for the time being, though it's uncomfortable enough for the Espeon to whimper a bit.

    Kirby's probably fine, just kicked back near Blanc and the others.

    "Ponytail…Ponytail…" Ruby pondered for a bit before shaking her head, "Nope! Never seen anyone like that around here before. I'mma go ask Kat about her when I get the chance." She said, referring to a common leader of this expedition group.

    Naturally, the path curved to the West, which was fortunate for our heroes as they managed to lose sight of the shadowy foe that they encountered. They came into yet another crossing, diverging north and south; although only the North goes anywhere as the southern path simply contains a chest in a deadend.

    As for The Fool(I), it simply stood back up, and walked north of the crossing, headed to where Shinji Mato escaped from it…

    As 10 lights appeared from the magic circle behind The Fortune, Saber's book turned into three book cover-like cards just as Shinji finished entering his Code Cast, feeling a major boost in parameters by Saber herself as she began to make use of her books one by one.

    sarutobi_ninjaden_wonder_ride_book_wallpaper_by_afdryan_de658nd.png

    --{[Sarutobi Ninjaden]}--
    Record of The Legendary Ninja​

    "Sarutobi Ninjaden–Install!" Saber made the card depicting a green ninja disappear and coat her left sleeve in green, turning it into a ninja-like sleeve complete with a wrist guard, a green-gold scarf, and a large green shuriken to boot.

    250.png

    –{[Fuusouken Hayate]}--
    The Recorded Swords of Cyclones​

    "And then…Buta-san Kyoudai, Include!" Saber then inserted the card depicting 3 pigs onto the shuriken, causing it to glow along with Saber's fire sword. The remaining blue book floating idly, as if waiting for the chance to use it as The Fortune fired off its varied array of stars.

    "Hono-Shippu Kenbu: Roku Kaiten!(Flame Hurricane Sword Dance: 6-Fold Spin Sequence)" Saber then threw the shuriken along with a three triple slash from her red sword, spawning 3 slashes to collide with the shuriken, causing it to split apart into 6 red shurikens and making contact with 6 of the lights, exploding and making the units they contain drop like flies. They appear to be girls with giant parts of real life ships attached on their bodies. causing only four of them remain as Saber finally grabbed the remaining book as her green ninja garb reverted to her black jacket.

    250.png

    –{[King of Arthur]}--
    Record of The King of Knights​

    "This one's a special one–King of Arthur, Include!" Saber directly pressed the book clearly named after one of the most well known Sabers in existence against her blade, causing it to glow gold. Roaring in yellow flames as Saber held her sword like a baseball bat as she let four of the lights come close, her eyes letting out a glint as she held sword tightly.

    "Shutoku Issen: EXCALIBUR! (Reading Flash: Excalibur/Learnt Slash: The Promising Victory)" Saber then swung her blade in a spinning motion, sweeping at the lights that attempted to manifest the Units they held, but none of them made it out complete enough against Saber's recreated Excalibur, flashing its brilliance at all those to see before sending one last gigantic Slash Wave at The Fortune, purging the sword of the famous Noble Phantasm's incredible strength.

    "Ah phooey! Pull! Pull! Pull!!" The Fortune panicked, seeing this outcome, he began to pull with what little energy his Magic Circle has, flickering as its spin began to grind to a crawl, releasing Stars that manifested as talismans blocking the trajectory of the slash wave. Call it bullshit luck despite being debuffed, but the talisman he drew were all 5 stars; matching the strength of the recreated Noble Phantasm, causing the wave to explode, raining golden leaves as the place began to be enveloped in smoke as Saber was knocked back by the explosion, landing on her butt right beside Shinji, panting heavily as...Well, whipping out Excalibur's energy like that may have eaten quite the chunk of Mana from Saber.

    A temporary pause in battle. Now's a good time to either recover or plan out what to do next.

 
Cloe's senses activated shortly after awakening. She emitted a groggy, sleepy moan. As if it were first thing in the morning she reached up and stretched out her arms while twisting her back and hips. Her back, which was pressed up against the wall as she sat, slid down to the side as she slumped to the floor and raised her chest. Black bubbles floated up from the depths of her eye holes. Her toothy, bony jaw opened wide, releasing a howl of delight.

"Fuuuuck! I'm up! What time is it?"

The goddess of death sat up and reached for her toes, pulling her legs up and folding them over her head.

"Hold! One! Two! Three! Four! Five!"

With a sharp exhale, she dropped her legs back to the floor. A puff of smoke released from her throat and she relaxed.

After a brief period of silence Cloe closed her jaw and peered to her right. With a gasp! the goddess jerked to her feet and brushed off her dress, making herself presentable. Sleeping right beside her was a strange looking robot. It seemed unconscious from first gaze, but nonetheless, she would hate herself for letting anyone see her in the midst of post-natal stretching. How embarrassing! She was just born and here she was in danger of being witnessed in a vulnerable state by this peeping Tom. What a disgrace to her ladyhood!

The dark mistress took three deep breaths and then composed herself appropriately. She would address the robot momentarily. It would be unwise to wake him before it was time, about as unwise as it would be to travel this new environment alone. While she waited for the robot to awake, she took a moment to observe her surroundings. Just outside of the blue wall she glanced at a breathtaking scenery of stars and flowing red atmosphere. What a thing to behold. Simply astonishing.

"Now, I must ask... where am I? Why am I here?"

She knew only so far that the universe needed her help. She wouldn't be there if such was not the case. Soon she would find out the details, but not until her companion came to.

It was then that a bat flew out from under her dress and landed on the robot's head, making an unearthly noise.

"Oh! Dublin, there you are! Don't disturb that man, he's been through a lot!"

"Graack! Eek! Eeek!"
The bat, ignoring her orders, transformed part of his wing into a blade, then carried on and picked it his head annoyingly.

    Banjo would come off as somewhat callous in response to Katrielle's thanks, being just an "Ah...yeah" as the Draconic Kamen Rider has...well, to say he's got no clue of what's going on would be about usual for him. Still, in this case, there's nothing to fall back on knowing like back home.

    No Sento knowing the fancy details and struggling to put them in laymen's terms. No Bakazumin to equally ask for those layman's terms. No Gentoku...Yeah, Banjo really can't come up with any idea of how he'd help here. Probably would make the situation awkward with his clothing choice in all honesty.

    Still, they'd all give him some semblance of stupidity to step back to in the face of all the bizarreness around himself. Here...yeah, there are not many bros being bros here, more like gals being serious. Well, except for the wolf guy- Aaaaand there he goes straight away through a wall...

    So now he's stuck with three girls, two of whom are currently either passed out or winded equally so...Under his helm, Banjo takes a look to them as he tilts his head backward. In all honesty, he really wants to go on his own looking around this maze. Given Sento's bottles were here, he has a hint of hope that his friends are here and he doesn't wanna waste time in finding them...but he knows that he can't just leave people who need help.

    The girls would hear the Rider sigh before squatting down to look face to face with the downed girl as he de-transforms.
    "So..." There's a moment as he looks up at Mami so she knows his question applies to her too. "Mind giving me a rundown on what's happening here and uh...what's happening back where we were?"

    The end of their world would be...reacted to in many different ways by people. Some would panic and try to run. Others find their precious ones for their final moments. Not that much different than animals in that same sense, treating it as a danger to flee or fight against.
    In the eyes of geniuses though, they would recognize an inevitable outcome and would simply resolve themselves for the oncoming end...

    And for the precocious, Ken cheats his way to witness that same view. So...he simply hugged another nearby and closed his eyes for that outcome-

    Before opening his eyes to see a hallway that honestly is fancier than what he's used to for dungeons. At the very least, they were more like homes for monsters or just dark and dreary. Sure, there's more blood than usual, but eh, ups and downs are taken as is. Monster house replaced with a bizarre gold-bricked labyrinth.

    Bizarre times, but the kid is plenty experienced in new scenes and quick to adapt! So...
    He stares at the weird robot nearby (Samus) and glances at the wall with the sound of boom, and proceeds to walk slowly backward towards the opposite of both (Heading east unless stopped or noticed).

    Utilizing the tried and true method of moving so slowly he becomes invisible to the naked eye...which he hasn't considered that a robot would probably not be relying on such, nor someone in power armor either.

Childe, Klee, Kirbo

Entering through the oh-so-familiar wall of light, Childe took a moment to behold the vicious fight already going on, as the one known as Lancelot and the Pillar. In his honest opinion? It was little more than two Beasts going all-out on each other. Sure, they didn't exactly act animalistic... but he could see it in the Knight of the Round Tables eyes. Madness had taken over them for now. A battle like this.... was a disappointment. He was almost thankful that his fellow Ascendant had already interrupted the duel, clashing with the Pillar's fist. As she hopped back to let the Fallen Knight take advantage of the Pillars State.

"Ah, shi-" Suddenly sprinting, The Harbinger made to catch Nero from flying backward due to Lancelots punch. Quickly turning his head back around, he was about to berate Lancelot for attacking his own comrade... until he roared out for the Pillar to fight.

It dawned on him that while from an outside perspective, it would seem like merely two beasts out for blood, but too those two... it seemed honorable. And that gave way to doubt. Even if the two were beasts in the form of warriors, both had the right to enjoy a good one-on-one. After all... Childe was many things, but something he tried to not be as much as possible was a hypocrite. Who was he to deny these two the satisfaction of a duel like this? Turning back to Nero, he spoke.

"Let them fight for now. After all, I say that both of them" Gesturing to Lancelot and The Warrior, he continued. "Despite having fallen far from grace.. deserve a final fight like this. For now, I suggest we stand back.. unless you want to gain the irk for both of them. But comrade, we might get our time to shine... if and only if Lancelot is clearly about to lose. And I mean clearly." Turning towards the the duo of children were, he also called out "NO illusions from you two!" Hey, he had to cover all the bases.

Question was if the Emperor would listen to him...

The explosive child gasped in surprise as... Master Jean???? was in the Black weird thing???? How???? Her face was close to what may described as the "pogchamp" face... But a lot more confused. However, she quickly managed to get over this confusion at the sight of the sole Tranquil Idol casted a Cyro spell, attempting to hurt Master Jean! Hefting her sword, Klee ran straight at the Idol "Nobody hurts the Banana Furry and Master Jean! YAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH" She attempted to smack the Idol... and accidently also clicked the trigger.

What could go wrong?

    The world ended in a flash.

    For Canti, the sort of individual who had seen what he had seen, witnessed what he had witnessed, it was another week. Lifetimes passed through that visor faster than humans could blink, yet longer than Canti could hope to come to terms with them. In and out, around the cosmos, and back to where he was all along.

    The beginning.

    This beginning was darker, gloomier. It was some kind of maze, by the looks of its walls. Canti's screen was blank, his head hanging low, back arched against the wall like one asleep... or dead. He moved like one dead, still and inert. The robot did not stir upon the bat's perch, nor when it started to bother him more directly. Whatever the blade was made out of, Canti's metal didn't seem any worse for wear. Then, suddenly, pink streaks gradually appeared on the robot's TV-head, until it settled into a hyperbolic blush. A few seconds of awkward silence played out, followed by the realization that Canti was awake. He had been awake.

    And he had been enjoying this goddess' stretches a little too much.

    a75417244f8dcd15322aba8b6bc60d50.gif

    Canti moved with a jerk, straightening his sitting posture in the way one prepared to stand up. The robot scrambled to his feet, with as much grace and showmanship as his digital blush implied... which was to say none at all. His movements were clumsy and janky, making loud clanking and rustling noises reverberating around the walls, from his metal body to his urban clothing. He looked away from Cloe, not quite ready to look the death goddess in the eye while rubbing the back of his head in rapid motions.

    When that was his first impression of this existence, Canti was remiss to begin exploring just yet. He had already taken heed of the paths that lay open to them, but he was a bit reluctant to go anywhere with his latest crush. Sure, she was a personification of the very Aspect of Death itself, but what if she wasn't into metal?!

    Samus was no stranger to cosmic apocalypse. She had encountered doom on a variety of occasions. Mother Brain. The X Parasites. Phazon. Any one of these things would have spelled doom for all life in the known universe. Staring down the inexplicablelight hurdling toward her ship was just part of her job description.


    "Warning: Imminent Anomaly Wave. I cannot determine its nature. Brace for impact."

    ADAM was, unsurprisingly, unable to provide her with clear information. She did not need to know what this was in order to face it. No matter what happened past this light, Samus Aran had a new mission.



    > Obtain navigational data.

    Whem Samus and her ship passed through that light, she did not lose any of that momentum, even if she was no longer in her ship. For near anyone else, this transition would have been fatal. In the instant that Samue regained consciousness, her Power Suit's Speed Booster protocols kicked in, freezing her inertia to a crawl, long enough for her to catch herself on the wall in front of her with little to no fanfare, discounting the phenomena of suddenly appearing in this new location. Her head spun around to take her bearings, her cannon arm tracking with her eye movements. Her suit HUD instantly translated the etchings on the far wall... what it could process, at least. "Plus Ultra". She imprinted the phrase into her memory codex. Something to remember for later, whatever it was supposed to be mean.

    The grim details of the corridor aside, Samus immediately took notice of the moving target in her visor. Her cannon arm snapped into position. In an instant, she was ready to fire probing shots at... the child? Her arm lowered slightly, though the fierce gaze of her helmet remained fixated on him. Had he arrived in this place with her? Given that the phenomenon had appeared to trigger on a galactic scale, it was a sensible prospect. Even more that he was trying to make himself scarce by... no. No human child was capable of what this boy was doing, or had fox ears.

    The bounty hunter would have remained keen on this child of interest, were it not for the tremors on the other side of that same wall. It was subtle at first, but her Power Suit quickly picked up on the severity of the impacts. Whatever was going on warranted caution, which proved the case when that activity prompted a strangely familiar hatch to blow open, to say nothing of everything else that her systems picked up. The lean, armored warrior leaped into the air faster than the blink of an eye. In an equally short time, Samus found purchase on the now open hatch, and climbed in. She rolled forward, using a human somersault rather than the elaborate Morph Ball, already off to a sprint towards the source of the destruction. Whoever that fox-eared child was would have to wait.

    It would not take long to identify the target. A towering figure, a humanoid that looked like some kind of anthropomorphic insect. The energy levels emanating rom it were... perplexing, to say the least. Already her cannon arm was raised and primed to fire. That instinct screamed at Samus' hesitation, but her experience stayed her hand. Even if this creature was very likely a hostile threat, she had little to no inormation on said creature yet... only that it was in some way responsible for significantly damaging the infrastructure of this facility that she had arrived in. If possible, it would be prudent to acquire more information before engaging. It was a familiar situation: leaping into a wide, open chamber, suddenly facing a creature wielding untold power.

    There was usually only one outcome for such a scenario.
 
@Bixir @ThePotatoGod

Cloe reeled somewhat with hesitation as Canti clumsily bounced around, trying to pick himself up. Dublin, startled by the commotion, squawked and flapped his wings and lifted himself off the metal carcass.

"Are you quite alright? Your head... it doesn't seem hurt? How can that be? Dublin's blade is as strong as..."

Cloe shook her head and approached the robot, taking a look at his cranium up close.

"It's absolutely unscathed! My, what an impressive being you are! Are you invincible? What is your name? Can you speak?"
 

  • Mami Tomoe

    As soon as they made it a significant distance away from the surrounding blast zone between the Bugman and the last of those tower enemies, Mami released her ribbons on Vert and Katrielle, the silky ribbons disappearing in a soft yellow glow before vanishing into thin air. Who knew that just a few minutes into this place can be so draining? "Is everyone okay?" She asked, taking a look at both of the woman she had helped save.

    Despite having brought them quite a bit away, they had one last danger to overcome, as the resulting clash caused an explosion of heated, hot air to burst through the labyrinth. Fortunately, the detective seemed to have some kind of shield she could form from her familiar's presence, protecting them until the blast died down, leaving nothing but the hot, stale air and the scorched walls and floors. By the end of it, the lady in green and the detective were drained and out of it. Even Mami was out of it a bit, as she wasn't used to maintaining her magical girl form for this long. Ever since that initial fight with that Witch, she has been maintaining it for quite some time now.

    There was a newcomer too. Another one of those Super Sentai-looking people. He seemed just as confused as Mami was when she first arrived here. Were there more like him out there? Before long, he ended up asking her a question after it seemed like he took note of how ragged their group was.

    "To be honest... I'm just still as confused as you are," The magical girl answered. "From what I've been told, we're all pulled from our own worlds into this labyrinth with the goal of ascending it. As for what happened back there... there was an excess of power exchanged between a Bugman and one of those Towers. We've tried to talk him down, although he seems rather unwilling to listen."

    "Oh that's bullshit." Shinji groaned, watching as the Pillar managed to draw several equally powerful looking summons to combat against the enhanced Noble Phantasms that his own Servant activated. As soon as they clashed, an immense explosion rocked the arena, sending gusts of wind and smoke in all directions. "Hhngh!" He grunted, bracing himself against the blowing winds as Saber was blown back right besides him, landing on her rear as the rushing gale soon died down. After a few seconds, golden petals began to drift about all around them, almost peacefully and serenely compared to the clash just moments earlier.

    "Well shit.. did that do it?" Shinji questioned. There was too much crap to look through right now at the moment, and he couldn't tell if the Pillar was dead. Seemed like it given how the bastard was giving everything he had.

    [mp_heal(64);] -> 'Saber'

    "Damn, you're really making me work for this.." Shinji sighed, typing in another code as he gave Saber some additional mana after that whole battle. Within minutes, he could hear the sounds of footsteps rushing through the smoke cloud still! "Oh come on, is the bastard not dead after that?! Get up Saber, this ain't even over yet!"

    Blanc watched as the man patted Rom's head. At least he was kind, that was assured enough. "No, I haven't. I've just arrived to this dimension with my sister and a little friend." She answered blankly. Though, when the red girl answered up, she gave Blanc a bit of a clue. A person named Kat, apparently. Maybe they know a few answers or so?

    Well, It looked like a dead end down there. Blanc assumed that the group here must've come through the passage on her left, so there probably wasn't any point in going that way. "Thank you two for your answers. I'll look for her on my own while I deal with this Dimension. Rom, let's go." It was probably best if they head back the way they came. There were two other passages that way as well. Maybe if she goes straight across she might end up somewhere.

After hearing the orange-haired man's order, Yuuji sighed, sticking his tongue out at the other when Childe turned back around, but stopping when he felt a tug on his shirt, seeing Kaoru shake his head with a grin on his face. He leaned against a nearby wall, folding his arms with a relaxed expression.
Kaoru pulled on some strands of pink healing magic, weaving them into a pink net that seemingly shimmered before letting the net go, the magic unraveling and disappearing into thin air, a shimmer being the only remnant of the thing he just did, leaning on the wall next to the other as he watched the battle go on.

Sakuto smiled for a moment at her question, "Mhm." he replied softly before pressing a button on the cylinder and extending his own scythe, hopping forward and attempting to slash at the Reaper.
 

  • "Looks like those girls are in trouble. We need to save them." Filia said. "Hold on now. I'm sure that spider guy looked like bad news. He might spew web on us." Samson told to his host. "I'm sorry Samson, but we can't just stay here and observe. We need to get them out of here." Filia replied and Samson let out a sigh. "Fine, let's just get this done and quickly." Samson spoke and Filia nodded in agreement. "You guys, on me." She said to the two guys as she went out of hiding and confronted the Pillar.

    "Hey! Let those girls go and pick on someone your size!" Filia taunted.

Her gaze focused on Jaune as she asked "Who might you be hmm? Judging by your performance, you seemed to be lacking in proficiency as a fighter. You could have ended up dead if you've fought alone."

Kara Danvers was not having a good day, one minute she was at the entrance, and the next she was here. She tried tp break out of the web using her superstrength but to no avail.

Then seeing no other option, she tried to use her ice breath to freeze the web and then break it with her superstrength!

It was then that she noticed a group of people and the giant spider before and tried to hasten her escape so she could help them.

    Immediately, Canti's haphazard movements ceased. The robot practically froze once Cloe approached him, unsure at all how to respond. This was the exact opposite of what he had wanted! They were right up next to each other now! His head remained bowed low, so as to avoid making eye contact with the death mistress, which placed his face paneling in the direct vicinity of her chest.

    Much better.

    Canti was so busy gawking at his newfound prize that he almost didn't hear the questions. If he did, he made no attempt to answer them. The robot's head slowly began to droop, right into the goddess' assets. The robot's entire screen-face was a rosy tint now. This was how he had always wanted to go out.
 
Jaune_Arc.pngJaune tries to catch his breath, not having expected to be dragged along by a girl so quickly in such a haste "Yea, sorry about that...I'm kinda in the middle of training so that wouldn't be a reoccurring problem...Reason why I...I didn't want to get in your way cause you looked like you knew what you were doing....But I'm Jaune Arc...! Short, sweet. . . Rolls of the tongue. . . Ladies lovie it . . . ! And who might you be...?"

Cloe's head tilted left. Surely she was handling the situation well. The robot seemed to have calmed down thanks to her display of concern, so much so that he felt comfortable placing his weary head in the pillow of her bosom. So cute!

"There, there." Cloe reassured him, petting the side of Canti's arm with an innocent, if perhaps naive gentleness. "You must have gone through a lot, haven't you? I don't know where you came from, but if you're here with me it must mean you've been misplaced from your world. We'll get to the bottom of this. In the meantime, I'll keep you company in this strange unknown place. There's no doubt it'll be sometime before you can return home."

Cloe wrapped her arms around the metal boi's head, pressing his monitor-like face even closer. She took pride in her ability to guide and comfort lost souls in their times of need.

    Much to the fellow Servant's surprise, Berserker threw a punch at the Emperor of Roses, managing to catch her off guard. But whether by happenstance or sheer fucking luck, the punch was negated with what seemed to be a sheet of glass manifesting right in front of Saber's gut, dissipating most of the force without the full brunt of it landing on it, prompting Saber to simply be pushed away from Berserker and onto Childe. The source?

    Saber's little green monster, her Kirlia, snarling at what the black armored man tried to do to what was practically his mother figure.

    The Pillar seemed to still be disoriented by Nero's attack, resorting to a simple retreat while he shakes off whatever flashy trick Nero enacted upon him, summoning a lightning spear to hold in one arm while keeping the other on the ground. Still a wee bit disoriented, but oriented enough to combat Berserker.

    Nero couldn't help but grumble in discontent as she practically ordered to stand back, despite having no Master of her own, Berserker's punch really did a number on her.

    Sakuto would've successfully slashed the Reaper, immediately followed up by Mordred a bash from Modred's shoulderguards, knocking the floating creature back a bit before swinging down her own broadsword at the minotaur reaper, only for her to be parried by the creature's scythe.

    A putrid stench spreads through the air as sounds of string could be heard all around them, as if a large spider was constructing a large web all around them!

    "To abbreviate, we are at a 12 story Dungeon-like Tower filled to the brim with monsters. The Exit's at the top." Katrielle explained in between breaths, "We got here after being spirited away by a funny looking aurora. We're currently on the 4th Floor out of 12." She explained briefly, "As for that disgusting looking green bloke, I haven't the slightest idea what his deal is. Most likely just another megalomaniac with a lust for fighting…Like that doggy that just went south." Katrielle sighed, aware that Lyca had escaped after pushing the wall with engravings on them, revealing a path leading south. "But his power would be useful to us…If we manage to get him on our side." She sat up, rubbing her chin. "But how do I convince someone like him to not attack other people without my consent…?" She ponders aloud, struggling to find a solution to this dilemma. "Restricting him would be a death sentence, for sure." Lost within her thoughts, Katrielle then turned to Banjo. "Forgive me, just thinking for a moment there." She let out an awkward chuckle. "My name's Katrielle Wilford. You are?

    Heading further south, Lyca would discover yet another dead end with another one of those fancy moveable walls to the East, although before the alien wolf could even reach it, more enemies appeared from the pool of darkness that pooled up on the floor, manifesting as large monsters bearing shields, weaponry, bone and fangs.

    There's four of them, two of which seem to be of the same species of hulking black beasts with wooden shields. The other two seem to have white exoskeletons with red and yellow markings on their bodies. One appears to be similar to an overgrown bear, while the other is a literal giant worm.

    Unfortunately for Ken, there's nothing but a deadend westward, with the hatchlike wall moved to the northern wall where they woke up, so heading east pretty much cornered himself to be approached by the weird green bugman.

    Kara was successful at loosening the web by trying to shatter it using her freeze breath, though some of the webs still seem to wrap on her body, as if layering her own Super Suit with steel white webs. Could be handy, although it's a tad tacky.

    "?!" Snapping its neck all around, The Pillar glanced down at the source of the voice; a black haired woman in some kind of uniform, telling him to keep his hands off of the girl he's meant to guard. "A5C3ND4NT!" It cried out, leaping off of its web and falling down onto the floor, landing on two hands, with the remaining four taking out long needles crafted from what seems to be web, wasting no time as it then threw the web javelins at the girl!

    Going west from their origin point, Blanc and her crew would reach what should be the western edge of the maze, one that's barred off with blue corals with holes that show the red void this maze was floating at. As bizarre as that was, there were at least 2 more paths available to them. One north and one south.

    "I'm fine." Hakuno nodded with a sigh of relief, glad to have avoided further confrontation with what felt like an incredibly strong enemy. She might have to ask Katrielle about that later, pondering if that was The Fool she was warning them about. After the blonde recovered, he introduced himself as Jaune Arc. A Knight in training, it seems. Much to Saber's dismay. "Come on, now. It's lucky he managed to keep up with you! Even though I had to step in a bit and tweak a few things." She chuckled a bit as Jaune asked who they were. "I'm Kishinami Hakuno. The girl in blue's my Servant, Saber." She introduced the both of them, leaving it on Saber's discretion to introduce herself with or without her True Name. "Nice to meet ya, Arkkun~." Hakuno already gave him a nickname as she passed by him, peeking around the corner to see if there were some enemies up ahead, only to find a chest nearby. Though she feels like she's not risking a Mimic attack anytime soon.

    What came out of the Rapier as she attempted to bonk the damn Shadow were large mounds of rock, akin to a Geo Spell being activated that coated the blade as she closed in and managed to slam down the rapier turned rock club due to its weight with little to no difficulties, prompting the creature to turn into mush at her geo-club.

    Only one remained, though it appears that Gaon is now frozen in place due to getting hit by the Ice Rain; a chance appearing for Kaito and the Crew to attack the remaining downed fiend!

    "Alright! Full On Finisher!" Kaito called out as he and Juran pointed their guns at the downed Tranquil Armor, pelting the remaining creature with bullets, dissipating into black mist.

    All that remained were gold coins that appear similar to Mora, and more Crystals like the one Klee found in the chest.

    Leaping into the smoke was certainly a novel idea, as when Des lunged to action, The Pillar being knocked down from his height and plummeting straight to the ground, clearing of the smoke to see the red man that entered late on top of the Pillar. At the same time, it revealed that the bugger has planted a sort of trap, as just above them was what can be described as a fleet of shipgirls–armed to the bone with armor akin to a boat.

    It's a bizarre sight, for sure.

    "Include!" Conjuring a grey book with what seems to be a turtle-dragon beast on it, activating its effects onto her sword and plunging it onto the ground, creating a protective dome as the fleet began to open fire, raining fire and brimstone down on the arena!

    The Berserker would join both of their hands in front of them as if holding a sword and would bring forth Arondight with the blade facing towards the Berserker. They'd thrust the sword within the right part of his gut to wound himself as to make the fight more equal. In a gravelly voice the Berserker yelled once more, "Fight..!" They would run towards the Warrior throwing a punch at him.

    Des would look up at the armored ship-girls and would chuckle before looking back down. "Don't think a few measly boat-women will stop me." Des would then punch the Fortune's throat.

    Lyca would use a super-sonic howl at the lot of enemies then rush to one of the shield-bearers. As Lyca got closer to it he'd go behind the shield-bearer and rip it's back to shreds before jumping onto the back of the bear-like creature biting at the non-boney areas to create a hole, close to the size of Lyca's muzzle, into its back.
