Team Science, Spirit World
Gavrill blinked at the sudden light, and turned to face the dark elf, putting a comradely hand on her shoulder.
"The way out? You know I could tear this entire mountain apart if I wanted to. Assuming spirit mountains don't have some bullshit new set of rules. But there's a chance this place could lead us to the pièce de résistance we're all looking for. So while we're here, let's take stock of our resources. I see-"
With unsettling speed, Gavrill reached out and seized Nerile by the throat with both hands, lifting her off her feet and pulling her face close to her own, drawing her lips back and baring her jagged teeth.
"-one packed lunch."
She exerted pressure gradually, seeking to choke the life out of the mouthy bitch as slowly and painfully as possible. Nerile would see nothing in her red eyes but death and madness. And hunger. A thin line of spittle was hanging from the side of Gavrill's mouth.
"Do you see what you get? Do you see what happens when you fuck with me? You don't fuck Madaraki, MADARAKI FUCKS YOU!"
And then she noticed the spirit, the waterfall and the butterflies. Her expression switched from one of insane murderous hatred to one of annoyance.
"...The hell you say?"
Murdering Nerile driven from her immediate thoughts, she released her prospective meal's neck and swiped at the red butterflies irritably.
"Full of hatred? Who, me? Fuck off horseboy, I'm in the middle of something."

Chaika Trabant (Team Magic) - Cold at the Park
Even though Donna's help was really appreciated, Chaika didn't want to cause her any more trouble, so she limited herself to smiling and raising her hand to let her know she was okay. However, she was starting to feel cold because of her wet clothes, so the idea of a warm place where she could dry off was starting to sound really good to her. Maybe a bed and a meal too. And a hot bath above all else.
So, while Donna darted off to take a girl around her age away from the rest of the group, for some weird reason she couldn't quite understand, she approached Varrick and Elec-Man, and nodded vigorously when the latter pointed out that they could use some rest.
Joseph just stood there with a look on his face. What the fuck was a time paradox, he pondered. Think on it, boy...
"Yes," Atrocitus answered Sokka. "Its seems our employers must have saw the potential damage the crisis at hand would have on this universe to facilitate a momentary pause to their asinine game. Apparently, it is a side effect of the actions the previous incarnation of the Doctor took to banish the Daleks, whom invaded this universe last time. The current incarnation is here to help fix it," he said, pointing to the Twelfth Doctor.
DAMMIT MARK, STOP HOTTING HELPY!!
Sky
"All right. Thanks." Sky told Varrick. "Can you lead the way?"
The ranger tried to use the device on his armband to see if he can contact Urza.
Can this work?
Sasuke
Sasuke placed his left hand on the ground and concentrated to see if there was a presence of someone around before they proceed forth.
I need to be careful. The ninja ranger thought to himself. Even if the area is safe to proceed, you never know when someone may try to take advantage to take us down.
Let's dance, boys!
Ryuko - Republic City Park
Catching her breath after swimming to shore, Ryuko rested on the ground as Senketsu shook off the water off of him. Exhausted after all the events today, she laid down on the ground and stared off into the blue sky. Had it not been for the commotion from those in the water and the sirens from the police arriving on the scene, she would have drifted off to sleep right then and there. Tuning out the conversations around her she briefly caught the spaz Varrick say something about an apartment complex he owned in the middle of the city. Both Ryuko and Senketsu can take a rest there, when the seemingly endless apologies from Bolin would finally stop.

Erza - Zelda's Group
Erza steely stared at the exchange from Loki and Seiga, getting increasingly mad that their mission was being held up at seemingly every opportunity. She stabbed her sword through the ground in exasperation.
"Look everybody, if we have any chance of getting out of this place, I suggest we get our collective acts together and get moving!" she exclaimed with an clear tone of authority in her voice.

"Here, let me help you with him," Donnie said, before grabbing the Doctor’s legs and helping to carry him over to the modified snowmobile. "Boy, he's really out,"Donnie huffed under his breath.
"Believe me, we're not friends," he said to Asami. "At least, not with Gavril. I don't actually know too much about the other one.You're right though, someone should still follow Gavril and make sure she doesn't damage anything here! I'd go, but," and here Donnie’s voice got very hesitant and small"[—she scares me—}. And, I still need to answer your questions. Yeah.”

Spirit World
Labrys couldn't help but smile when she saw Korra calm down and at least talk about what was on her mind. Wouldn't do any good for the Avatar to let her emotions just build up like that. When Korra closed her eyes and began to focus, Labrys took a step back to avoid disturbing her. She took a glance around at their group and saw that they had lost a few members at some point. The gynoid merely shook her head, apparently some people are too impatient.
Her head turned back to the Avatar when she said she had an idea of where they should go. "Wait, they got Libraries here? Huh, whoda thought?" She remarked with a chuckle. Seems Spirits weren't all just wild. She turned to the mushroom grove and heft her axe on to her shoulder. "Ready to go when you guys are." She said, glad to finally have some direction to go off of.
Republic City
Jinkuro glanced around at the crowd that was joining their group, the ones that came from the flying box. It was another assembly of freaks that did not look like they belonged together. In other words, very similar to their own group. There was even a familiar face amongst them. "You there, red demon." Jinkruo said, walking over to Atrocitus. "You said this man is The Doctor?" She questioned, looking over to the one the red lantern pointed out. "We just left a Doctor at the south pole. While its not the most creative name to call yourself, could that just be coincidence or something else?" She questioned the Doctor.
Quite shocking
Spirit world, science (with Zelda)
Again they are stopped by someone getting in there way, This time it was one of Loki's friends that he supposedly lost track of. Vile had only one problem with Loki and Seiga talking and that was that Vile himself was bored of the constant delays, he was bored sitting around with no target to destroy.
Although he had found his boredom broken by the frustrations of one Erza which made Vile chuckle, And if what Loki says about his group being unstable that is either the perfect place for Vile or a group even he would want no part of.
MAGIC Spirit World
"Mhm. Pleased to meet you all. What Loki says about the rest of our group is true, sadly," Seiga said in affirmation, smiling ruefully. "Even so, let's all try to get along, shall we?"
She glanced at Loki right afterwards though, an amused glint in her eyes. Erza's exclamation was rather telling.
"Nice strong voice. Loki, if you ever decide to start some religious movement she'd be good evangelist material."
The Park
"You make it too easy for me," Toph replied to Sokka's remark, punching him in the shoulder.
Her attention shifted to Donna as she tried to hide her away or something. "Wait, hold on. What?"
Donna wasn't lying, that was true. Still...
"Alright, where are we gonna go then?" she whispered back.
"Here, this might help," Nitori chimed in, pulling out a cloak from her backpack. She'd ignored Hood, simply jabbing a finger in Mako's direction.
"Optical camouflage, keeps you invisible. You'll owe me though." Placing it in Toph's hands, she shifted her attention to the other things going on.

Atrocitus tuned to Jinkuro. Admittedly, the Red Lantern had paid very little attention to her. And yet, this samurai, or ninja, or whatever, felt extremely unusual to him, as if something was.....off.....
He would dwell on it later.
"The Doctor is part of a race that can reincarnate upon death almost immediately," Atrocitus explained. "The reason we see more than one version of him at time can be attributed to time travel shenanigans and the continuing deterioration of reality in this universe." A beat. "The less you think about it, the more sense it will make."

Did you know this section has a character limit?
Mordin - Republic City Park
"Ah. Similar to Earth Jellyfish. Increases lifespan by regenerating entire cellular structure. Unseen on more complex species."
Mordin then let in a loud breath.
"Fascinating."
Mordin had been taking the time to look over the collection of people who, according to Atrocitus, were either rivals or allies. At least one made the "grey alien" comparison many humans had made on first contact with Salarians. It was possibly that some Salarian had created that myth, but Mordin found no value in anal probing beyond colonoscopies.
"Have been informed of team structure. Science and "Magic"." he said, making the finger quotes. "Assume rivalry is postponed to fix space-time distortion?"
Fletcher - Western Air Temple
Fletcher teleported over to Clara, after finishing his indignant pouting at being told off, and whispered in her ear.
"You're a time traveler, right? If this factory didn't exist, and now it does, and we destroy it, will the timeline just say "close enough" and snap back? Or is this now a parallel universe because we traveled to it? Or has everything been altered, and thing will be different when we get back?" They do have medals for almost, and they're called silver!
"Yes," Atrocitus answered Mordin quite bluntly. "The chances of it staying that way after this mission is quite slim, however."
DAMMIT MARK, STOP HOTTING HELPY!!
huzzaaaaaaaah
Republic City Park
"Oh, I'm sorry." Varrick replied to Elec Man. "Do you have a better way to explain to people who you are without blowing their minds with advanced technology?!" He practically yells, before suddenly taking a good look at Elec Man. "... wait. What are you?"
Donna gave Nitori a thumbs up and pointed at a nearby bush. "Let's leave through here. This park is in the middle of the city, and we can find a way out just as long as we leave the cops behind." She puts a hand on Toph's shoulder. "Don't worry. We'll meet up with your friends again in the apartments, right after the woman over there leaves them be."
"We may have an alliance, but that doesn't mean I fully trust you." Sokka told Atrocitus, still glaring up at him and keeping a hand around his sword, even as his angry-looking leader expression was broken down by Toph's punch. "Hey! Not a sandbag. " He whispered, glaring at his friend before walking closer to where the Twelfth Doctor was, turning to Sam. "I feel like I should introduce you to Atrocitus over there, but you've probably got all you need from just looking at him, right?" Sokka slowly tapped his eye. "Thanks to the... enhancements... I think."
At Jinkuro's questioning, the Twelfth Doctor nodded. "Highly possible- I have faint memories of visiting this place one more time in my previous regeneration. And considering the nature of these memories, it's highly possible they're... being changed as we speak." He looked towards Donna, sighing.
Lin scratched her head, grumbling something to herself. "So what will you people need this time—" She started asking Atrocitus when her eyes spotted Sokka, who was still standing near the group. She tilted her head to the side, leaning forward. "You gotta be kidding me." She said, promptly pointing at the Doctor and Atrocitus. "Explain this! Now!"
The Twelfth Doctor stammered. "You're asking me? I don't know who this kid is!"
Southern Spirit World
"It's as the old saying goes." Loki said to Riesbyfe. "In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king. So in the land of the mad, bloodthirsty maniacs, a man with sociopath tendencies like me can be considered a decent person."
"And I do agree with her. How about we begin our long trek towards our destination? We will have to walk. A lot. Unless any of you wants to... carry me?" He asked, chuckling. "I'd pay back handsomely."
The butterflies effortlessly danced around Gavrill's swipes, and the red spirit shook his head. No, no, this won't do at all. You must open yourself to the cleansing process. It might hurt at first, but you will come out on the other side feeling much, much better. Stop trying to fight against the world and accept it— only when your heart is full of love may you leave my domain."
"Right, then." Asami looked towards the mountain. "They're gonna be fine, right? They look like the kind of people who can defend themselves. With their... teeth. And... claws." She looked over at Donatello, wincing. "Yeah, you and me both, Donnie. You and me—" Asami pulled up her goggles to stare over in Armani's direction, trailing off. "What is he doing?"
Korra's expression as Armani talked went from mild interest to complete confusion at what was going on. Her eyebrows went up and down several times as the boy practically started undressing in front of her. Unable to hide the... unusual conditions of the situation, by the end of the moment, Korra's cheeks were colored in the strongest shade of red. Instinctively covering herself up- even though she was wearing clothes just fine- she mumbled out the closest thing she could do to a snarky comment.
"Is that how y-you guys say hello in your world?" She said, gulping down and regaining a bit of her courage. "I'm afraid to say 'see ya later' because y-you might start taking off your pants!" Korra blurted out, placing one hand on her hip and using the other to point at Armani's nose. "So, you... put your... shirt back on because this is no place to go around shirtless!" She poked him, the blush disappearing as she regained control of the moment. "Good? Good. Let's get back to moving!" And with that, she practically stomped off towards the mushroom grove.
The puppy just started trying to bite one of the many strands of Armani's hair.
Western Air Temple
"Oh dear god." Clara yelped when Bigrench suddenly teleported besides her. "Don't do that ever again!" She says, taking a few deep breaths to regain her footing. When Fletcher approached her, she wrinkled her nose a little, before shrugging. "I don't know. I'm gonna guess yes for your first question, about it all snapping back into place?" She waved at Tenzin. "They're still here, so maybe everything works out just fine. Also, can we stop with the teleporting?!"
"How... how did you get out of the ice?" Aang asked, raising an eyebrow.
"He's really fast." Bumi added in with a smile. "For, you know, a bulky guy like him."
"Rrrrrrrright." Aang shook his head, before pointing in the direction of the temple. "We should get to the temple first, you'll have a better look at the factory from there."

Chaika Trabant (Team Magic) - Thinking and analyzing at the Park
Listening to the different conversations that took place, she gained a lot of new information. The people they crashed with were Seekers too, and they all were apparently split into two different teams, Magic and Science, which seemed to put their differences aside in order to save the city... although it didn't sound like it happened often.
The thought made her wonder about their task. She had never received an answer as to what this Sifuri was, other than the fact that it was a weapon scattered into fragments. Fragments that they had to gather. For all she knew, the fragments could be her father's remains, like she had suspected initially. But that didn't seem so likely. But then why did they have to gather it, and why in two different teams, if they were all Seekers? That didn't make any sense to her.
Lin's outburst brought the girl back from her thinking, and soon she found herself watching the Doctor excuse himself, stating that he didn't know who some boy was, even though Lin clearly found him to be worthy of an explanation. That was enough to make Chaika get near Sokka and begin to stare at him with curious purple eyes, as if trying to unveil some deep secret from him. Was it his sword? Or his shoes? Maybe his face, his clothes, his hair? For several seconds her eyes darted from place to place, trying to find the detail that had disturbed Lin so much.
Vampire Hunter
B.B. Hood
After getting dried off by Mako, B.B. Hood rejoined the others when she caught Chaika eyeing Sokka and then stood in Chaika's way of doing so.
"What do you think you're doing?" B.B. Hood asked Chaika, slightly incredulously at her. "In fact, who are you?!"
Maria
Maria quickly moved out of the way, but seemed both confused and frightened. Icarax was certainly someone she did not want to fight and was scared off after he nearly killed her, but why would he be in Shaft's clothes? How would he even know about Shaft in the first place to have the clothes?
"What do you want?" Maria asked 'Icarax-Shaft,' not only confused, but also frightened.

"I figured you would recognize your uncle despite him being younger," Atrocitus said to Lin. "He's the latest draftee in our quest for the Sifuri pieces, and unlike Toph, he is not on the same team as I. Right now, we need a place to set up a suitable headquarters and pool any resources and ideas to closing up the rift at the stadium." He looked back out onto the lake at the TARDIS. "Currently, the best location for the technology needed is undoubtedly flood, so we need a substitute."

Chaika Trabant (Team Magic) - Meeting new people
Chaika got slightly surprised and confused when Hood got in the way. Was she doing something she wasn't supposed to? If so, she should probably explain herself.
"Curious," she merely stated, and then pointed at Lin. "Lin, troubled. Looking for reason."
Then, without a second thought, she took a small step back and extended her hand towards Hood with an earnest smile on her face. After all, that was the best way to introduce herself, at least from her perspective.
"Name, Chaika," she chimed cheerfully, "Chaika Trabant. You?"
Team Science, Spirit World
Gavrill stared at the red spirit with equal parts disbelief and contempt. Was this horse-thing for real? She had heard a lot of stupid things today, but now it was as if the universe was actively screwing with her.
"What kind of retarded hippy bullshit is this? I have a better idea: for you to shut up and fuck off, in either order. I'm not interested in a shitty goddamned therapy session. If you want to fill my heart with love, I suggest you open this mountain and give me directions to a world that isn't so fucking stupid. Nothing would please me more!"
Team Magic, Republic City Park
Gough replaced his helmet and approached the group that had converged on the shore, drawn towards several voices he recognized and several he did not.
The Park
"A girl who gets jealous way too easily. I mean seriously, that hood'll turn green if this keeps up." Nitori said in way of answer to Chaika's question.
Despite not looking it, she was paying attention to the other things transpiring. Sokka and Atrocitus were of some interest. However, the great red beast was rather intimidating, causing any comment to wither before being uttered.
"Right. Let's get this over with then," Toph muttered, putting the cloak around her shoulders while scurrying through the bushes Donna had indicated.
Even if chiming in on Sokka and Atrocitus' little discourse was tempting. She snickered a bit at what Nitori said about Hood though.

"Mhmm," Seiga hummed. "Well, shall we be off then? Seems to be the most sensible of courses."

Did Nothing Wrong
Previously on the verge of doing something incredibly stupid and most likely fatal, Nerile's lucky enough to land on her feet before Madarki can fuck her. Choking slightly, throat bruising, her place on the food chain now established beyond all shadow of a doubt and her murderer suddenly distracted, her first move is to make a quiet-if-desperate pass away from her attacker and around the red horse.
It's talking, but the words land without purchase and slip away from her like water. At that particular moment it all comes down to survival, and the likeliest method of ensuring that survival involves putting as many targets between herself and the whatever-the-fuck-she-is as possible.
"Not quite." said Sam, whose HUD and IFF protocols had spitting out server errors ever since he left his own universe, at which point he'd discovered nanomachines were useless without the supporting infrastructure. Barring a few automated functions, like the things they were doing to his blood sugar. Beat the hell out of coffee. "Think I know the type, though. He always this red?"

The grass finally let up, and Armani stumbled backward as he let go to avoid swinging Vel'koz around like a horrific rope. He sighed, then gave the night sky a worrisome glance.
":Gents, I do believe we've angered the spirits enough. Let's get a move on, shall w—", he turned and abruptly stopped, noticing something was missing. He moaned in the back of his throat and scented the air; indeed, maria and seiga were long gone.
His eyes widened and his jaw dropped, gripping the sides of his head. "...Did we all SERIOUSLY not notice those two walking off too?" After a few seconds of gaping, he slowly dragged his hands down the side of his face.
"Grr...okay, okay, Maria at least had a spirit to guide her, and I didn't detect anything malicious from it...though that MIGHT not mean much here!"
He considered going after them, but something — perhaps it was his instincts, keen as usual, or a remnant of his connection to the spirit world prodding at him — made him believe that it would do no good. They had gone off on their own for their own devices and that was that.
"...Well, fine then. Guess we'll find everyone later." He deflated a little, admitting defeat in the face of the group's rampant impatience and sized up the group that remained. Korra was being brought into better spirits by the gynoid that he had gotten a ride from earlier, elsa and...the other member of team science were discussing the mechanics of the world (he made a mental note for later that, whoever he was, he was apparently quite intelligent) and the remaining members were near hi—
"Whoa, hello", he took a step back as the girl with a giant S on her pajamas * flew up to him and enthusiastically presented herself. He smirked as she confidently spoke; she made for a good first impression at least. "I quite agree...er, you. It's time the fun began."
Speaking of the devil, the atmosphere shuttered around him in a sensation he could barely sense but couldn't quite understand, and his little friends suddenly started to dogpile his legs. "I think that's a sign we should head that way guys", he said with a chuckle and bent over to mutter 'alright alright I get it' to them.
He blinked down in mild surprise as one of the little buggers somehow managed to get into his shirt without his noticing. "Adventurous are we?" He smiled fondly in an oddly paternal manner; just as young wolves should be, though usually they had their leader to guide them. The fact that they had none was mildly disturbing on an instinctive level of his.
Though, it made him realize something else as the pup snuggled in his shirt; he was really, REALLY hot. This kind of climate was not fit for heavy winter gear.
He hummed, crossing an arm beneath the puppy. "Visions? This is the spirit world I suppose, No objections as long as we get going. The sooner we find the rift and Loki, the better."
He gently pulled the puppy out, and then unzipped his jacket and neatly put it into his hunters bag.
"Hey. Uh... I gotta ask you a few questions."
"Mmm?" he grunted at her to continue while he stood straight and began to shrug out of his winter tunic, sweat making the material cling to his skin.
"They've told me about as much", he noted without looking in her direction as he finally pulled his heavy winter tunic above his head.
There wasn't any sunlight for it to reflect, but the sweat sheen covering him softly reflected the moonlight that was still flowing gently away from him. Armani had inherited many things from his mother, and among them was the near sculpted physique that most demigods and gods had, not to mention the added effect of a hunters lifestyle further toning his body. He wasn't a body builder, but his muscle mass was very apparent in the way a power swimmer's was, every part of him weaving together to form a lovely shape reminiscent of the best of greek artwork, enticingly powerful yet graceful. Armani didn't tend to notice these things, but there was a very good reason the huntress's faces had turned tomato red when he had peeled his clothing off in front of them, innocent back then as he mostly was now. The man could have been on the pinup of a magazine.
"And as for me?", he said in a slightly strained voice as he finally pulled the rest away. He sighed in relief, running his hands back through his hair and stretching slightly. The air felt very nice here; he closed his eyes briefly, content. course, his face was no different though Korra had probably noticed as such before; as an artemis demigod, he was more or less the definition for a beautiful boy, much to his usual chagrin.
"Well, I imagine that's because I wasn't with this group the last time. It's...complicated to say the least, but my own abduction was very recent in comparison to everyone else. Some people have been involved for over a year, while it's only been around a month for me."
He blinked his eyes open and faced Korra, smiling friendlily. With the moonlight swirling around him, reflecting off of him in wisps, he truly gave off a mystical atmosphere. "I never did introduce myself, correct? Armani dove, though you know that by now. This is certainly my first time seeing you, or this world."
~Arma- ...just, nevermind.~
He scooped up the puppy that had been resting in his shirt and scratched it behind its ears. He shrugged over in the man of science's direction. "I can tell you whatever you would wish to know, but I suggest we get moving."
