Geth required a lot of power. More than anything Rex and Viktor could supply.

Of course, however, Rex's electric generator managed to take most of the strain away, which turned out to be a far better thing than expected.

"Auxiliary... power source... detected," stated Legion with agonizing slowness, though any stuttering and most of the distortion was gone now that it focused on speaking. "Power core... entering... low energy... state. Con-continued operations... positive."

Josuke; Library

"Yeah...since it's quiet now, I'm guessing they took care of it." Josuke said, noting he probably missed the battle.

He turned his attention towards her magical dolls. "Huh...got any dolls that need fixing up?"

Jungle Pagoda

"Who knows," replied Lune. "Maybe the plant monster got hungry and decided to eat these things for a meal."

Lune slowly walked over to Plantera's corpse or whatever people call the dead body of a plant monster these days. Lune picked up the wasp gun. Hopefully, the others won't mind if she took just one thing, right?

As he saw Rick take his leave, Plague Knight ruminated on the scientist's words.......for all of three seconds. A true scientist did bother with the "what-ifs" and "could have beens" without quantifiable proof, and even then it was a waste of time to let one's mind wander on what a different version of himself was doing when SCIENCE could be better spent on the right now.

"Bah! Let the man stew in his own mediocre brandy!" he said out loud, having been able to better identify the specific alcohol when Rick was speaking up in the knight's face. Then he went over to the plant monster's corpse and was examining the contents with the others.

"A more accurate theory would be the monster having feasted before being brought here by our captor," the alchemist surmised. "The greater question is why neither this corpse or the one from the giant bee is not vanishing like the Battle Brother.....?"

As he spoke, he used his staff to continue digging through the decaying body of Plantera, eventually coming across the seed and the spore sac and pulling them out. "Now these I can use....." he said, putting the two things away. "Agarth, would you kindly take the firearms and distribute them to anyone you find other than Rick?" he asked the warrior. "I have no use for them, but all the better if we don't let that drunkard have them either."

"I've fixed all that needed it and even made a few more. Right now I don't really have anything better to do other than maybe reading some other stuff. It keeps raining outside so today is being a pretty uninteresting day overall."

Agarth looked at Plague Knight and asked. "What is a 'Fire Arm'?" Unlike most of the other people tjeir his world was not very advance technilogicaly. Which makes sense, since his world is based off of Celtic Ireland.

"Anything that looks like this," Plague Knight explained, showing Agarth the revolver. "The only truly usable firearms from my world are ship and siege cannons. Anything else is so unwieldly and such high maintenance that they're practically useless. As much as I am intrigue by how other world are able to make their firearms so efficient and destructive, I have other things to look into." He then tossed the gun to the warrior.

Rex's idea had worked but unfortunately Legion was still dying and there wasn't much time left to fix him.

"Whatever you plan on doing, it should be right now Viktor. This thing was designed to create a short burst of electricity, I can't power him all day."

Agarth caught the Revolver. He looked at Plantra's corpse but saw no visible 'Fire Arms' he decided to look inside of Plantra and cut it open.After opening Plantra up' he and looked inside, Plantra. only to see that was no more 'Fire Arms' inside it. He turned to Plauge Knight and said. "It looks like everyone else took the rest of them.

"Gee, maybe w-we should, uh let Rick be for a while?" said Morty, doing his best to force a smile on his face. "I mean... sometimes... sometimes he just kinda... gets like this." The teenager awkwardly sat down on the wooden floor and rubbed his swollen ankle, wincing periodically.

"I mean, Rick's smart, and y-yeah, uh, he's kind of an asshole sometimes... but someone once told me that Rick is an asshole because he's smart... or something." Morty looked around at the others as though looking for validation. "It's like, uh, it's like the only way he can cope with people, and stuff... I think? I, uh, dunno." Morty winced and looked down at the ground, his explanation clearly not that adequate.

"Also, uh, can somebody, uh, he-help me with my ankle?"

Gon examined the chambers of the grenade launcher he picked up.

Perfect. I'll need all the heavy firepower I can get to survive this place.

He examined the HE grenade pack to see if all the grenades have some damage on it. The last thing he needed was to fire the weapon and have the chambers explode in front of his face.

Gon would find the grenade launcher and grenades in excellent shape but absolutely in need of a cleaning. They had been literally marinating in plant juices after all; and that actually applied to just about everything the group had taken from the dead plant.

While they were going through the remains of Plantera, some opportunity taking civvie types had gone through the remains of the Queen Bee, first nicking everything more interesting than just dead bug bits; but soon enough with the arrival of some more exotic residents, even those were quickly gathered up. Only a mess of blood remained, and that too would also probably be gone the next time the group turned around due to the shifting of the city.

The rain still didn't quite stop throughout the city, but it had continued to calm down until it was now a mild sprinkling. The city as a whole seemed to be calming down since there was no further giant roars signifying Plantera or the Queen Bee returning. Down in the crevices some of the giant bugs like crickets and alien equivalents were starting to sound off, their chirping providing a background noise while the foliage gradually became speckled with spots of light; various night-oriented flora of the universes were becoming active as it got darker, and plenty of them had glowing bits, making the whole place seem like an organic replica of a modern city.

Library

"Hmmm?"

Mary looked outside, focusing in an effort to hear any noises coming from outside.

"You're right! I can't hear them anymore!" she exclaimed, but then she noticed something else. "Hmmm... it's starting to get dark. It'll be night soon. Should we still go, or maybe wait until tomorrow?"

Library

"Yes, please, let's stay here," Sadness said immediately. "I kinda...well, I don't want to wander around in the dark. Plus, I do want to keep reading..."

"Yeah, all that rain has definitely been a real pain in the ass..." The teen cursed, combing his hand through his now-somewhat corrected and dry pompadour.

He supposed that was another reason not to leave the building, others being the fact it was getting dark out and that the girls had seemingly decided not to go out now after all. Josuke supposed it was only a matter of time before some of the other guys returned as well.

"Oh yeah! I actually got a question for ya." An idea suddenly broached the Stand User's mind. "Alice, you've been in this place a lot, right? Or, at least, you've gone around it a lot longer than me..."

"So, is there anything really interesting to actually read around here? I thought I heard ya say you found a book about your world yesterday." The teen mentioned, harkening back to his rough overhearing of her and Legion's conversation.

"Didya maybe see any books about anyone else? Like, was it in a specific section or something?"

"You'd have to ask the librarian." Alice pointed to Ms.Tairee looking kinda uninterested "She was the one who found the book about my world for me and since apparently this library contains literally every book ever, you should be able to find records of the history of any of our universes and read about them if you so please," she then curiously raised an eyebrow "are you looking about information for anyone in particular?"

Four Arms was about to start heading back to the library when he heard the characteristic beeping of the Omnitrix timing out. Then there was a red flash and Ben stood there in his human form. Due to losing two of his arms, there was a clatter as the guitar dropped to the ground. Ben hurriedly picked it up again, struggling to carry both the guitar and the vine in his arms.

"Well, that was a thing. Gee, it's getting late," Ben muttered, yawning a bit. "Anyone else really tired from that fight?" He wandered off for a bit, before he stopped beside Lune. "I can see what you meant back there. You're a really awesome fighter," he told her with a grin. "Now, I'm headed back to the library," he told the others. "Anyone else coming with?" He began to wander towards the library, not even waiting for an answer.

Trudging into the library, Undyne sat down on one of the sofas. She leaned back and sighed. Today had been a hell of a day. Legion was either dying or dead, not one but two oversized animals (plants? whatever) attacked, and she had more than a few bugbites.

She kicked off her shoes and started rubbing her feet. Then she turned her head to face the librarian's desk.

"Hey, Tairee! You think you could type me up some spaghetti?" Undyne called. She still hadn't eaten anything, after all.

Viktor nodded to Rex as he started to power up Legion, it seemed that now all that was needed is to open up wherever the Geth's internal system are and possibly replace the damaged power core with a unharmed one and fully functional.

If this lab had one.

Viktor started looking around Rick's laboratory for a device, possibly a cutting one, along with what would appear a power core to open up Legion so he could see the damage, as he could only use his Death Ray to burn, not repair.

"Legion, I must know right now your power core location, I assume it's in your chest along with your internal systems, specifically, what is it powered by?! Oil, electricity?!" He asked the Geth as he still searched the lab.

Jungle Pagoda

A compliment? Is Ben trying to flatter her? Lune's eyes widen and she nervously laughs as she attempted to put the wasp gun away.

"Sure, I'd love to join you," replied Lune. "Just let me figure out a way to change back."

Lune looked at her watch for a bit and messed with it. If messing with it changed her into the Valsione, messing with the watch might change her back to normal? A sudden transformation sequence confirmed her theory. Her hair changed back to its natural length, her hair went back to her normal blonde color, and her armor vanished to reveal her tomboyish tanktop and jeans. Lune jogged across the walk ways in an attempt to catch up with Ben.

Miss Tairee looked up from her machine and over as someone finally addressed her, frowning slightly as she heard the request. "Fine, fine. I've spent more time conjuring food for you people than finding books" Miss Tairee said, typing away on her keyboard. "Access to the best and worst works ever written at my fingers while you could go find a restaurant anywhere, but survival is the priority as always" she continued talking to herself, then with a blur a plate of spaghetti and meatballs appeared on the table closest to Undyne. Miss Tairee sighed and took off her fake glasses for a moment to rub the bridge of her nose.

As the two beings searched through Rick's lab - opening drawers, rummaging through various boxes of random electronic detritus- they'd find a lot of tools. Most of them looked as though they'd been pinched from any normal hardware store; several of them looked as though they'd been extensively modified with other tools... and some kind of jury-rigged miniature laser technology. In the middle of the room was the workbench where Rick had been working on his plasma torch an hour ago; the robotic arms were lying limp on the hard slab. A few other projects lay strewn about on the workbench in various states of completion.

Most of the impressive-looking things in the lab- including what looked like some kind of gun, were at the moment, half-completed... although nestled in the back of one of the shelves was what looked like a car battery duct-taped to a metal framework of unfinished machinery.

It probably went without saying that this scenery- scientifically impressive though it was- was somewhat spoiled by the liberal amounts of beer cans and vodka bottles shoved haphazardly into corners and under surfaces.

"Uh... yeah, okay, I-I-I-I'll come with you too!" said Morty, doing his best to keep up with the growing group heading back to the library in spite of his sprained ankle. "I mean, uh, if we can find the library, huh? How about this... crazy city, huh?" he said, doing his best to awkwardly strike up a conversation. "You gotta, you gotta always watch out for the change-ow changing... layout. Cause this, uh, librarian lady is... she's kinda mean, huh? Kid-kidnapping us outta nowhere like that? I mean- I hope my, uh, my parents aren't taking this badly, you know?" Morty frowned at that thought; he'd been away from home many times, but never without giving them any warning whatsoever.

Ben kept walking, but heard a loud noise and saw a bright flash behind him. Ben turned around, then as soon as he saw Lune in her normal form, he blinked. He had assumed the pink-haired robot was her ordinary form, but this look for her was surprising, to say the least. His thoughts shifted though when Morty approached.

"Hey, Morty, you all right?" he asked, going over to him and trying to help him. "You sprain your ankle or something? C'mon, the library isn't that far. I mean, it is at the center of the city after all," Ben assured Morty. He glanced over at Lune. "You know first aid at all?" he asked her curiously as they walked to the Library.

Plague Knight turned back to where the giant bee was.....and found nothing but blood stains.

"Dammit," he said. The knight pulled out another empty bottle and collected some remaining blood sample. "Waste not want not......" he said. "Let us return to my temporary laboratory," he said to Agarth. "There is plenty of SCIENCE to be done!" With that, he began walking back to the pub.
