A Game of Gods: A Multiversal Challenge

Mason was on lap 50, ignoring the newcomer.

"I'm Samara Morgan. That guy there is Alex Mason." Samara greeted Fran, pointing to Mason while saying the second sentance.

Galen didn't notice all of the running in his trance. He finished reassembling his lightsaber and got up. He noticed the newcomer, and went nearer. He looked at her, frowned, and blinked. He slowly waved his hand before her eyes.

Rey had started doing sit-ups from his position hanging on the ropes, occasionally chuckling slightly as though remembering something funny. He glanced at the others whenever he lowered, watching to see what they were up to.

Dis Baba finally finished his laps and drew to an unsteady halt, breathing heavily as he leaned forward in an effort to calm himself. The track disappeared, as did the disco ball; as they vanished, the music cut out and the lighting returned to normal.

"Oh, but this shell is...not made for running," he wheezed.

Ravage, meanwhile, paid Fran no heed beyond taking note of her presence. She reminded the Predacon far too much of the inhabitants of Halloween Town, and with that recognition came memories of his time spent as a hideous, worm-ridden organic zombie; he had no interest in reliving that rather nasty experience, thank you very much.

Mason sighed. He was halfway through lap 99 when the track disappeared.

*CRACK*

Suddenly, one of the many doors in the Common Room-turned-race track is sent flying off of its hinges, headed straight toward the Invigilators.

Gray then emerges from the smoke improbably left behind by the door, cocking his Boneduster in the process.

He then yells, "Alright, who wants to eat lead?"

Raz watched Grayson's entrance. He stood in silence for a few moments, then began to clap. "Very nice entrance! Ten out of ten!"

Sub-Zero was stuck. Stuck in a battle with the man he had once called his friend. Actually, this former friend was no longer a man, but a cyborg.. programmed to do one thing and one thing only: kill Sub-Zero. The automation's name was Smoke.

It fired a trident from its chest, but Sub-Zero dodged. Sub-Zero fired a blast of ice, but Smoke disappeared in a cloud of, well, smoke. Sub-Zero barely had time to register that before he felt a powerful THWACK! and got sent flying into the air. As he came down, he saw Smoke flying up towards him to land an uppercut. Again, the cyborg's blow connected. It went on, over and over, until a cry of "Finish Him!!" came from above. Sub-Zero fell in a heap to the ground.

"Yoink!" yelled the cyborg as he forced his former ally to stand. This was it. Sub-Zero was going to die at the hands of his closest friend.

Suddenly, a portal opened a few feet behind Sub-Zero. Smoke looked up at it. It was blue, and there was little indication of where the portal led to. The cyborg decided that this portal was good enough. With a powerful kick, it sent Sub-Zero flying into the portal, yelling "Screw you!" as it did so.

Sub-Zero was barely conscious when he felt himself fall to the ground. He could scarcely open his eyes. He heard the clanking of metal.

Great, he thought, another robot to beat me up. But this robot was not like Smoke, Cyrax or even Sektor. It looked over the ninja.

"Not this idiot again..." said the robot.

Gray then noticed the kid who was clapping for him. He replied, "Thanks, pasty. Infamous Space Pirate Grayson Hunt, at your service."

"A space pirate? Cool. Name's Raz. Welcome to the Common Room." Raz extended a hand to Grayson.

Gray thought for a moment, then decided to shake the kid's hand. After all, it would definitely help to have allies here in... wherever this was.

As he shook Raz's hand, he said, "Common Room? What is this, some sort of f*cked-up high school? 'Cause if it is, I'm dropping out right now."

Raz shook his head. "It's not a school. You've been called here by omnipotent space gods called the Nomads to compete in these weird challenges. Like fighting Robot Santa, or guarding a reality warping little girl."

The Doc walks up and chuckles. "If the stories I've heard are true High School would be a better option."

Blink teleported next to the newcomer, tilting her head. "Hey! That's a big gun you've got there, what kind is it?"

Gordon sighed, relieved that this guy was already getting an explanation.

Sub-Zero sat up and looked at the robot. It was definitely not like anything he'd seen before.

"Who are you, what clan are you allied to, and where are we?" the ninja inquired.

Eat lead? So needlessly violent...

Dex-Starr started to get restless in his nap, the Red Light suddenly pulsing within him. He finally awoke, looking upon the newcomer, Fran. The Red Light fluctuate much as the cat looked upon her. He could feel the Rage this girl had produced....

And yet......how most of her victims were deserving of their fates, as he only felt the cries of the innocent ringing in his head....tempered by the girl's genuine drive to help others......

To say the Red Light was conflicted would be an understatement. The injustice against the innocent cannot go unpunished, but the Red deemed her actually......useful in their causes to strike down upon -

• CLANG!!*

Dex-Starr barely dodged the incoming flying door that was blasted out. He looked an immediately saw Gray walking out. Shrieking, the now enraged house cat charged straight at him, the Red Light glowing brightly.

Gajeel idled over to the door blasted by Gray and plucked out the bullets, eating them. "Ha... eating lead indeed." He continued munching on the snacks.

The robot didn't respond.

Must be off, Sub-Zero thought. He decided to find someplace else to figure out what was going on. He fell back and through the floor, then reappeared in front of Raz.

"Can any of you tell me where I am?"

Raz stumbled a bit at the sight of Sub-Zero. "Like I said to the pirate guy, you're in the Common Room. You know, I think I remember seeing a guy that looked like you, but yellow."

@Raz and the Doctor: "Oh, f*ck." *FORMAT SWAP!*

Gray was a bit surprised when the blue-haired chick suddenly teleported next to him, but begrudgingly, he started to explain his weapon: "It's called a Boneduster, four-barreled shotgun, air-pow-WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?!?!"

Needless to say, he got interrupted by Dex-Starr.

Thinking quickly, Gray decided to blow the glowing kitty even further into the air with his Boneduster.

Raz moved Dex-starr out of the way of Graysons's shotgun. "Don't do that. That... is a very angry cat. That vomits acid."

Jack, seeing Dex-Starr and one of the newcomers about to engage in combat, sprinted over to try and stop them, calling,

"Both of you, please, stop this at once!"

"Oh, you mean Scorpion? He's probably off in the Netherrealm beating up a sorcerer. I'm Sub-Zero." The ninja stepped back. "I'll show you what I can do."

Without warning, he backflipped, landing right in front of Gordon Freeman. An ice statue stood where the ninja once had. "Go on, touch it. But be careful...you'll get frozen."
