A Game of Gods: Infinities

The Doctor grins. "Free pies!"

Elsewhere...

Roadbuster was violently thrown forward, thrust into a wall with a sizeable impact. And it hurt, quite a bit. The Autobot stumbled, trying to regain his balance, which seemed rather off... askew. Nothing seemed. The headsup display that regularily danced across his vision was gone, and everything seemed suddenly less clear and stranger than it had been moments before. He took a step forward and stumbled. He was confused- until he looked down at what had, moments before, been hands- and was more irritated than alarmed to find that they were hooves now. In fact, his face, reflected in the metal, was a horn-tipped mas of shaggy fur.

"Ah, dammit." he said, mostly to himself, awkwardly walking out into what appeared to be a metallic avenue, lit on both sides by a strip of blue. Although he had suffered a bizarre change of form into some Earth creature, at least it seemed like nothing was going to harm him... at least, not until the grinding of engines and the sudden burst of laserfire erupted around him, and a phalanx of brutish, heavily armed treaded vehicles ploughed resolutely towards him...

Jak was somehow unsurprised by the portal forming and sucking in stuf like a vaccum cleaner of the space-time continuum. After all, a similar situation had brought him and Daxter to Haven in the first place. He leaped into the portal, Plasmite RPG at the ready.

However, when he arrived, there were strange plants that looked like they made... pies? Daxter's jaw was hanging open at the sight of the food, but Jak simply shook his head with a sigh. When he heard the Doctor yell about their find, he applied his hand to his face. The world-hopping madness seemed to make him even more prone to situations like this.

The Doctor plucks a pie. "WHO WANTS PIE!?"

Nanoha lowered herself towards the ground, completely perplexed by the pie-plant. She looked it over, baffled. This was probably the strangest thing she'd ever seen. This was beginning to be overwhelmed by a childish liking for sweets. After all, Nanoha was a child. "Are they really pies?"

Nanoha would find that the fruit of the shrub were very clearly pies, right down to the filling. However, one of them did exhibit rather un pie-like behaviour; one pie, with a rich red filling, loudly made a rude noise, remniscient of flatuence, clearly aimed at at her.

The Doctor blinks. "That pie just gave flatulence. Maybe the fruit deflated?"

Daxter said, "I hope those pies aren't explosives in disguise!" as he bounded off of Jak's shoulder towards the Doctor. Jak, on the other hand, caught sight of the test-tube trees and immediately had to fight off the urge to commit suicide by head meeting tree. Repeatedly.

Nanoha blinked. The whole situation just got stranger. Pies generally didn't make noises. They were pastries. "Um... I don't think I want to eat any of the pie now..."

The Doctor tastes the pie. "Oh you're kidding! The pie's a raspberry!"

Of course, the already surreal nature of this place was furthered when, with a groan and rustling of bushes, the likely already disoriented party would ifnd itself face-to-face with a zombie. It groaned slightly, muttering a string of slurred words, and tried to push past the party, its cadaverous legs lurching forward. It was clearly apparent that this particular zombie meant the party no ill, but simply regarded them as a roadblock to somewhere else, somewhere that was more important.

"Raspberry?" Nanoha was driven to further depths of confusion. Why did the Doctor say that as if it explained that noise? That didn't make any sense. "Um... this is all really confusing."

And then a rotting corpse walked up to them.

Nanoha jumped, and held Raising Heart up defensively, shutting her eyes... before opening them again. She'd seen scarier then a zombie before, but it was still startling.

"Um hello Mr. zombie man. You have a name?"

The Doctor then tries to repeat the noise. 'Raspberry.'

Jak pointed his gun at the zombie, but once he saw that it wasn't going to attack, he placed it on his shoulder. "Odd," he said. "Is it just me, or did sanity decide to take a dirt nap?"

The Doctor chuckles. "Well looks like an eternal rest."

Now, the latest urge Jak had to supress was the urge to go Dark and slice the Doctor to ribbons for making some of the worst puns known to man. "Oh, I hate puns," he groaned.

Fluttershy awoke, feeling cold metal on her body. The yellow pony warily got up on her hooves. However, she felt that her skin in between her joint feel some what....rubbery and artificial.....and yet her fur and the skin underneath still felt natural. She tried to flap her wings. It felt like......like moving her normal wing but covered in armor. It all felt very strange.......

The yellow pony looked around, finding herself surrounded by massive buildings. "Um.....hello?" she quietly said. She was reminded of those reference books about Manehatten and some other big cities from the library, but these were seemingly made to accomidate something as big as dragons, or even Ursa Majors! The thought frightened the shy little pony a bit.

"Uh.....hello? Anypony here?" she said. The most unsettling thing though, was that this city seems so....empty. So barren. So quiet that even her own already timid voice made slight echoes. It was making her nervous now.......

........so nervous in fact the distant sound of vehicle treads made her slightly relieved. She went into a full gallop, following where the noise was coming from. As he ran, it noticed she was not breath so hard usually when she ran. She also felt that she did not physical tire at all. Still all very strange.....

She then finally reached an area where she saw a stranded buffalo being gunned down with laser by large, armored carts! "Oh no! That poor buffalo!" she said. "Mr. Buffalo! Over here!!" she called out to the tribal creature, hopefully loud enough over the din of laser fire and tank treads.

"Well then this world will be your arch-enemy. The pies are even puns."

"... Puns?" Nanoha was confused even further. There hadn't been any puns spoken at all, not that she could hear. There had just been baffling event after baffling event.

Cletus awoke near Fluttershy, groaning. He was... pretty different. Covered in scales, for one. About two feet shorter as well. There was also the red eyes and spines. And the fact he was now a bipedal lizard.

"Fluttershy... what's happened to me?"

"I'd like to know the same thing." Maximal Link strode into view of Cletus.

"It seems we've all been transformed into some other type of lifeform."

"I have no idea why." On his back was a silver sword, segmented but still wickedly sharp.

Bowser plucked a pie and took a bite out of it.

"Hmmm...tastes like apple."

Xigbar opted to jump headlong into the portal, not caring in the slighest where it led him this time.

Ook?

Ook.

-A pie bush. Sadly, there seem to be no bananas around, but perhaps with luck a banana pie can be found. The ape starts sniffing the pies, paying the zombie no heed.-

Mehir just sat there, a little freaked out. "What" was all he could say; though, somewhere in the back of his head, he thought he should get accustomed to oddness again, now that he's travelling with the Doctor again.
