Urza inclined his head towards Icarax, then walked inside, heading for the throne room. The more he could find out about the state of affairs in this world, the more likely he would learn where to begin their search.

Science

Seeing that Urza didn't have time to entertain his question, Sky went with him towards the throne room.

Let's hope we don't get into trouble.

Magic

"Good to see you made it, Rayman."

Sasuke greeted Rayman as he accompanied Maria and the others in the palace.

Science

"Levels?" Asked Marina as she finally caught up with Kara and Mistral.

Magic

Amethyst simply hung around her team and some other funny-ly dressed people until something interesting happened.

-Bigrench critically eyes the loot the gretchin have had time to collect. As expected, there is nothing of real interest, the guards' choppas laughably small and nothing mechanically interesting. Not worth fighting the metal'ead over it, though a few more sparks than usual fly off Bigrench's backpack as he keeps his trump card ready just in case.-

Roight, zog off, boyz.

-The grots drop the plunder and scurry inside.-

Dese 'umiez ain't nearly 'ard'enuff. Mebbe dey'z sikk?

Science

"Yeah, just like in a videogame. You see Mistral thinks we are all videogame characters for some reason." Kara responded to Marina.

Team Science

The scent trails led Gavrill to a room of the palace as easily as if the other team had drawn glowing lines behind them on the floor. Gavrill wasn't so clueless at eavesdropping as to put an ear to the door; she remained some distance away, but still paying close attention.

A number of them were in the room, along with several other people. They were visible to her even from the other side of the opaque walls. She could see their body heat, glowing bright against the icy backdrop of the palace. Each one was perceived as a rioting clash of individual smells, the sound of thumping hearts and sloshing blood...

It was a testament, she reflected, to her skill and focus that she could filter out what they were saying from the sensory distraction caused by a single person, let alone a group. But what they were saying was confusing in itself. The world was 70 years ahead of what Sokka remembered? That was definitely something to keep in mind.

Elsa

Elsa reached out and took Fletcher's hand. There wasn't much she could ask for anyway. The faster they could get to where the others were the better.

-(you can teleport now)-

The Makuta snorted in disgust and let the grots hurry on. They reminded him of the vermin he found amusing to crush underfoot. Perhaps he would try that later and see what sounds they made before they expired.

For now though, he stood outside the double doors. His acute hearing had already picked up the sounds of commotion inside. To go in was to invite trouble and at this point, it was something that still could be avoided without costing him his pride.

Team Magic

"Lively crew aren't they?"

Alvin mused half-heartedly to Jude. He had resisted the urge to nudge the young medical student with his elbow, straining himself out of awkwardness.

Not one to completely understand Toph's place in this world, the mercenary hadn't much to say, but he chimed in with a few choice words nonetheless.

"Woah, people, might wanna stop and take a breath or two. She's just a girl. A girl who can Earthbend your sorry butts nine ways to next week, but I digress."

They were rather insensitive words, all things considered.

Team Magic

Jude blinked a few times as he was blamed again by the young boy, he turned to Alvin and spoke as he pointed at himself and wide-open eyes.

"First the awful Wanted Posters in Rieze Maxia and now this, do I really look that suspicious Al?"

"You must've rubbed off on me or something." He said with a narrow smile. He then looked at Bumi as he started begging for forgiveness, apparently fearing ghosts.

"Eh, what Alvin said, you should calm down." He made a gesture with his hands before inspecting Kya.

"You both appear to be in good condition. Fascinating... Healing people with the use of water and magic. I've seen nothing like that before." He looked at her curiously.

Alvin twitched.

"Low blow Jude."

He put his hands on his hips and jokingly scoffed.

Team Science

Labrys stood back as she watched some of theo thers try and handle the guards. Despite the native's best efforts it looked like the group wasn't going to be let in. That is, until Sokka stepped forward and started talking. Then the men straight up passed out. Labrys looked to the collapsed forms of the guards with a raised eyebrow. "Wow Mr. Entertainer, yer knockin' 'em dead already." She jokingly said to Sokka and she stepped towards the doors. She followed theo thers heading inside, sticking with the group.

Team Not-Giving-A-Fuck

Jikuro walked the festival with Loki, raising an eyebrow when he tried to offer his arm to her. She did not respond to his gesture beyond that, observing the natives that were enjoying themselves at this festival. The young ronin placed a hand on her chin in contemplation when Loki asked for life stories from her. "What sort of experiences are you looking for? I have many, mostly of demon slaying though." She said.

Science

Mistral pointed to herself. "I am a video game character, a Wavemaster class character from the MMORPG The World.. I've been logged in since I got here and I can't log out."

Team Science

"Okay, team!" Donatello announced, rapping his staff on the floor. "I think we need to spread out and find our objectives! Number one: the Avatar!" He started drawing in the air, before stopping and turning to Gavrill. "Let me use Gavrill as a model for how she looks like." The turtle looked at her, then shook his hands excessively. "On second thought, forget the Gavrill thing! Brown skin, brown hair, she's got a lot of muscles and if I know anything about repeating wardrobes- which I do" He said, pointing at his bandana. "-then she's probably wearing blue!"

"Oh, and you guys also need to look for some guy named Varrick. I know this sounds weird, but... he knows about us, yet we don't know a thing about him!" Donatello tapped his chin. "There might be something weird going on with him..."

Team Magic

Toph sighed. She guessed it was eventually going to come out... and now that it had, well, she wasn't going to act all sad and miserable. Pulling her hood down, she flashed the adults a grin and crossed her arms. "He's right!" She yelled, pointing at Alvin. "I'm Toph Beifong, greatest earthbender in the world, but I'm not your Toph Beifong!" She shrugged. "Not for another seventy years, I think." The thought of having a child crossed her mind again, and Toph winced.

"Anyway, I think you're all wondering how weird it is that I'm here! Because it is pretty weird. But this is not the first time I've come here!" She pointed at Tenzin. "Twinkletoes Jr over there met me before. Called me Aunt Toph, which is a name I will never hear ever again or I will make all you lilly livers regret the day you opened your mouths for the first time. Are we clear on that? Good." She crossed her arms, before a grin spread across her lips. "Now, I'm not against hearing tales about how awesome I am, but then Shanty would start babbling about time and para... parado... paradoxes, so let's keep that to a minimum. Maybe five or six stories per minute."

She wondered about being straightforward with them- don't tell me anything my older self has done- but Toph realized that would only bring more attention upon the conflict that was going on inside her head. Perhaps through this method... she could make them think that everything was alright.

"Of course you are!" Kara told to Mistral, "So you guys wanna hang out or something. Because I have no idea what we are supposed to do" Kara told to both Mistral and Marina.

Characters from a game? Marina laughed to herself, it seemed like a silly idea. She tapped away on the T-Pod "I would, but, isn't Don-a-tell-o directing us to do something?"

Team Science

Gavrill waved a hand at Donatello in irritation.

"Shut up! I can't concentrate with your babbling."

She moved away from the main group and turned a corner, getting closer to the room with the other team to continue eavesdropping. The stuff she was hearing was kind of intriguing, and potentially very useful.

Team Science

"Wait, what are you trying to listen?" Donatello asked, following Gavrill. "Did you find the Avatar?"

Team Science

Intense sensory concentration could be a strenuous thing. Donatello's presence was not helping Gavrill's efforts, or her temper. She spun around and clamped a hand over his mouth, hopefully before his talking gave away her position to the other team. The patchwork woman drew his face close to hers and spoke quietly, looking murderous.

"I thought I told you to shut up. I'm trying to focus my senses, and I don't need your noise or your fucking stench!"

She let go of his face and pushed him backwards, turning back to the direction of the room.

"Now stop distracting me before I crush your shell between my teeth."

Team Science

"No. No it doesn't." Sokka said to Gavrill, before putting on a smarmy smile. "Is it because I'm too handsome?" He asked, contemplating his jawline on the ice, before looking to the side and motioning at his bag. "I've got something to do. You guys, don't cause trouble!"

Bolin looked over at Sokka as he entered a different room, closing the door behind him. "That guy sure seems familiar." He said, rubbing his chin, as Mako pointed towards the dining room. "Korra should be there, so, let's go find her." The older brother muttered, heading to said place.

"Halt! No one move!" A voice yelled from the corridor to anyone that handn't followed the brothers into the dining room. But instead of guard, the person who yelled it was a tall man with a strange moustache◊, standing next to a woman carrying a clunky, old-style camera, her head covered with a pink cloth. "No one make a single move!... there! Zhu Li, take the picture!" There was a blinding flash, and the man strolled forward, holding out his hand. "What you folks just experience is the newest in a line of cameras made by Varrick Industries! Simple cameras that can be set up in the field to take any picture you want, no preparation needed. And the picture comes out in just a few seconds!" He reached forward and a picture slid out of the camera's compartment, the man proudly displaying it- even though it was blurry as all hell and hard to make out. "And it could be yours for the low low price of 300 yuans!" With a big smile on his face and closed eyes, Varrick held out his hand, expecting piles of money to drop on it.

When that didn't happen, he slowly opened one eye, looked down upon the hand and waved it, as if the people around him were missing their cue. He waved it harder and harder, until he opened his eyes, hands on his hips. "Now this is what you call manners? Here I am, a simple businessman, and you people are not paying me for my honest to the Spirits work!" Varrick looked down at the group, his glare disappearing. "Wait. You fellas don't even look like you have money!" He spotted Gavrill and Donatello, and he suddenly yelped. "You fellas don't even look like fellas!"

Urza and Sky, heading towards the throne room, would be stopped not by a guard, but by Unalaq, who had been watching the group from afar ever since they stepped into the palace. "You're not supposed to go in there." He spoke, sternly, glaring down at the two, hands hidden inside his heavy coat.

Mako, Bolin and Asami stepped into the lavish dining room, decorated with outlandish meals, floral designs, and guests, all of them talking amongst each other. But one of the main guests in the room, who was getting everyone's attention, was a very familiar girl.◊ "Thank you for your kind gestures," Korra said to the guests swarming her. "But I r-really—" She tried to squeeze past them. "- need to go! Oof!" Falling to the floor, the Avatar stood up, rubbing the back of her head. "I tell you, nobles? No manners."

"Korra!" Mako yelled out, prompting her to come over to the group. "You wouldn't believe who we found, wandering through the festival... its those guys who helped us fight the-" He lowered his voice. "- the starspawn. Well, some of 'em, anyway. There's a couple of new people..."

"It's a pleasure to meet you guys again." Korra said to the group, bowing to them. "I gotta ask, though... why are you guys here? Is something bad going to happen?"

Team Magic

The offshoot of the Magic team made up of Elsa, Fletcher, Wonder Girl and Armani would find themselves at the entrance of the palace, the knocked out guards still on the way.

"The kind that people share when they desire to know more about each other. Though times are ahead, dear Jinkuro," Loki said, rubbing his chin with another hand. "I will require an ally, and you seem like a formidable person to have by my side when... as you mortals say it, the going gets rough."

He sighed, looking behind him. "Perhaps you would like to catch up and join the conversation, Vel'koz, instead of tailing us for the rest of the night?"

Both Bumi and Kya's head snapped towards Tenzin. "You've seen her before and you haven't told us about it?!" Kya yelled out, and Tenzin quickly lifted his hands in defense. "What kind of brother does that?!" Bumi yelled after Kya, the two glaring flaming daggers at him.

"In my defense, it was all supposed to be a secret!" Tenzin said, sighing. "We suffered an attack from forces far beyond our comprehension- the starspawn- and they helped us defeat them. Toph was with them, but she looked different... she looked like a human turtleduck."

"You mean like in the comics?" Bumi asked.

"Ugh. You read those?" Kya complained. "They rot your brain."

"That's besides the point right now!" Tenzin motioned towards Maria. "This is Maria, she was with me for most of the time, and after having fought with her, I can say that she's definitely someone you can trust." He leaned back, spotting Seiga. "I don't know about her. But, yes, this is my family. I would like to introduce Bumi-" He waved. "- Kya-" She raised an eyebrow. "- and my children, Jinora, Ikki and Meelo. My wife Pema is sleeping, and so is the youngest, baby Rohan."

The kids were now too distracted by Toph to introduce themselves. Meelo was standing right in front of Toph, leaning dangerously close. "My grandma said you were really though, but you just look like a little girl!"

Ikki procceeded to bonk him in the head, glaring at him. "That's not how you talk to someone like her!" She said, turning to Toph. "Can you show us some of your earthbending? Please please please?"

Jinora was more contained, she remained by Toph's side, choosing simply to lean forward. "I've read lots of books about you, but the books never mentioned how pretty you are!" She commented, with Ikki nodding alongside her. "Especially for someone who uses a lot of the earth."

Wuzzis, boss?

S'all flashy-like, it is.

Looks loik wunna dem 'umie... wuzzit... piksfrowers.

Donatello squirmed on Gavrill's grasp, and he was about to reply (a foolish idea, really) when someone told them to stop. Immediately pulling his bo out, ready for a battle, the turtle got a surprise when he was met with a flash to the face. "Gah!" He yelled out, covering his eyes, blinded by the power of the flash. "What's going on? Where is everyone?!"

Team Magic

At Jinora's comment, one could see Toph's cheeks reddening for a moment. For a moment. Because right after that, Meelo stepped up with his comment. "Ikki, right?" She said to the middle child, cracking her knuckles. "Well, get a load of this!" She stomped her foot on the floor and was ready to send Meelo flying away when she felt a bunch of heartbeats outside. But the one heartbeat she heard was one that sent chills down her spine: it was wholly unnatural, and sent chills down to Toph's spine.

"Someone's outside." Toph spoke, the playfulness gone from her voice as she tried to put two and two together and remember who that heartbeat belonged to. She had felt it on the previous missions, but... she never payed attention to it like she did now. Then... it hit her. "Not just someone. It's Stitches."

Magic

"Stitches? Interesting name you've given this person, Toph." Seiga remarked offhandedly. With a sigh, she reluctantly stepped away from Maria.

"So, what do you want to do about it?" She asked, lifting off from the ground and lounging in mid-air, looking extremely comfortable.

Nitori eyed the camera with quite a bit of interest. The Kappa of Gensokyo had recently invented a similar device, though she'd say that their's was more advanced. Still, seeing someone wax about technology brought a sense of contentment to the Kappa.

The man himself would have fit right in at a kappa bazaar as well.

"How much do those cost?" she inquired of the businessman.

Upon entering the palace, Labrys decided it would be a good idea to stick with their native guides for the most part. From the impression she got, it looked like this Avatar person was going to be their best bet to getting all of this figured out. Upon entering the dinning hall, she suddenly felt very out of place in such a lavish and obviously wealthy place. It didn't really suit her at all. She stuck even close to Mako, Bolin, and Asami, hoping not to draw too much attention.

The robot had to turn her head when she heard Mako call out to someone. She noticed the girl coming over to the group, probably the Korra he called out to. She looked like most of the locals around here and Sokka, dark skin and lots of blues. Luckily, seemed like she belonged here about as much as the rest of them. Labrys gave a small wave when Mako introduced the group to her, though she knew she belonged in the new people category. "Hey there. Nice ta meet ya miss Avatar." She said, quickly trying to return Korra's bow. "Honestly? We were kinda hopin' you could tell us if anythin' was goin' on. We were kinda just dropped off without any clues." She said

Team Magic

Jinkuro looked at Loki questioningly when he mentioned his need for allies. Going off of her first impression of him, she would have thought the idea of allies was beneath him. "If you needed an ally you could have just asked. I'm not exactly completely in to this whole team thing, but I know that trying to go it alone is a stupid idea." She said. She turned her head when he mentioned Vel'Koz and looked to the voidspawn.

"Hey guys I don't know about you, but I am starving!. I think I saw a dinning room over there, why don't we eat something?." she said to Mistral and Marina and then she walked towards the dinning room while making a gesture for them to follow her.

"Hello, everyone my name is Kara I am friends with those heroes that saved you from the space thingy" Kara said as she waved towards Mako, Bolin , Asami and korra.

Ryuko - Science

Ryuko stayed in the Entrance Lobby, sighing, adjusting her scarf as she saw Mako, Bolin and Asami leave to the dining room. She adjusted her scissor blade on her shoulder and looked to explore the lobby, before jumping at a yell coming from the far end of the room. She turned, pointing her scissor blade in front of her, looking for where it came from. The source came from a tall, slender man telling someone in front of the group to take a picture. Ryuko stood and blinked, the camera flash temporarily blinding her fro a moment. He then jumped in front of them looking to get paid by the group. Ryuko simply rubbed her eyes, groaning.

"You think we're gonna pay you? You just came out of nowhere! Who the hell are ya?!" she said as she rubbed her eyes.
