A Game of Gods: A Multiversal Challenge

Sec now accelerated backwards of his own accord.
He fired his Defoliator towards the two beings.

They do have medals for almost, and they're called silver!

Flandre flew along after the group, keeping her grip on her stick. She looked around, looking through any shadows for more creatures. It helped to be able to see in the dark.

Narumi woke up in his hotel bed. "Huh? Where is everyone?" Narumi said. He hobbled off his bed and began to search for his allies.

Spriggan began to get a move on, only stopping to fire bursts from his K3 to help his comrades escape.

"Exit muna si Polgas. Ang kailangan dito ay si Dobermaxx!"

Kimimaro's Earth Clone walked up to Narumi. "The others are currently engaged elsewhere, Narumi-san" it told the detective. "Including the original me; the me standing here talking to you right now" it patted its chest "is a Tsuchi Bunshin; the Boss made me and stationed me here to stand guard and alert him of any trouble." He then looked out the window, at the unholy Void swallowing the sky. "Something terrible, unspeakable has happened; though I am but a Duplicate, I can still feel the wrongness of that Void."

One of the creatures was struck by the jet of flames from Sec's 'defoliator' and let out a horrid, ratcheting scream as it was engulfed in white-hot fire, but the other ophidian slithered sinuously out of the way and shot past the Dalek to come up from behind and below. It coiled about the cylindrical form of Sec's casing, ensnaring the Dalek in a grip of metaphorical iron which left fingers of rust and decay spreading across his armour like frost across a windowpane in winter, and began to squeeze...

The larger beast, meanwhile, let out a number of brief, ear-splitting metal yelps as Megatron's blades slashed into it, carving deep furrows into its flesh which burst into flame scant seconds afterwards. At the same time, that voice in Rey's head seemed to be crying out in pain, and it spoke to him, its tone desperate and its words pleading.

Rey...it hurts...help me!

The luchadore might find that this telepathic voice sounded intimately familiar, one he knew better than his own and yet one which he had not heard in the longest time—not since before arriving in the Common Room, in fact.

As Flandre flew on, she would catch glimpses of little red specks glittering in the shadows between buildings and in the unnatural gloom of the alleyways. At the same time, she would be able to hear screams of fear and panic echoing in the distance, cries of pain, and the sound of gunfire; above it all, the words of Administrator Washington could be heard as the planetary governor adressed the populace via holographic projection.

"Attention, citizens of Valhalla. This is Administrator Washington, and I am asking you not to panic. A state of emergency has been declared, and I am mobilizing the Planetary Defense Force and all elements of local law enforcement agencies to counter this unexpected and unprovoked threat. I would ask that you remain calm, do not panic, and follow your assigned evactuations routes to the emergency shelters in an orderly fashion; we do not know the nature of this attack, or why the stars have disappeared, but we shall not allow this state of affairs to go unchallenged. We shall restore order to this city, to this world, and to do that I require your cooperation in this difficult time; behave in an orderly fashion, and do not try to be a hero. Attention, citizens of Valhalla. This is..."

"Oh look the Dalek got one! Good job!"

Sec diverted all power to the de-molecularising forcefield.
It would begin to disentigrate the creature, but Sec would begin dropping like a stone.
He then realized the Doctor complimented him.

Kimimaro continued to stand guard at Dr. Langley's side. Nothing was attacking him or her at the moment.

Jack stepped off the edge of the spinner, relying on Bolas' flying enchantment to quickly descend to the ground, to where Rey was currently stuck, apparently having fallen under whatever evil aura the invaders exuded. With a grunt of effort, he made to heft the other man onto his shoulder, then jump upwards once again, using that same enchantment to return to the skies. Before he left, though, he spoke to those who remained on the vehicle.

"We cannot stay here! With luck, your flight should last until you reach our next transport! Go!" Then he fell into the world of nightmares, the cold night air rushing past.

Flandre blinked at the red dots and looked to the rest of the group. "I think other people are playing with the snake monsters too." Flandre said, able to pick up the screams even from this distance.

At first, Sec's plan seemed to bear fruit; his demolecularising forcefield was indeed disintegrating the ophidian, filling the air with a noxious black smoke and a rancid stench that could not be described as anything other than foul, for no other words existed which could possibly do the concept justice. However, the entity did not seem at all troubled that its body was being taken apart at a molecular level, or even in pain at being exposed to something capable of disassembling it in such a fashion, and after a moment the reason for this lack of concern became clear—not only was it still regenerating, but the rate of regeneration itself was beginning to increase exponentially, until suddenly it was regenerating faster than the disintegration field could take it apart.

As such, it continued in its efforts to crush Sec between its coils like a python crushing an antelope—efforts which were clearly bearing fruit, as the Dalek's casing was beginning to warp and crack beneath the ophidian's bulk as it continued to constrict him. He had perhaps seconds before the creature ruptured his casing, leaving him exposed to the elements—although considering how far up Sec had been when he had started to fall, perhaps that was being overly generous.

Blinking in concern, Dr. Langley glanced over the edge of the spinner. It was a long way down, to be sure, and a drop from this height would be fatal beyond any shadow of a doubt; furthermore, it was clear that she did not fully trust the notion that Bo—that dragon's—supposed magic would be able to hold her aloft, assuming that it even existed in the first place.

But they didn't have any choice in the matter; they had to get out of here, and for whatever reason Zod seemed incapable of carrying their spinner to the transit hub. Taking a deep breath to steel her nerves and closing her eyes, Dr. Langley took a single step forward, into the abyss...

Not wanting to rely on magic when his own abilities would suffice, Ravage swiftly transformed back into beast mode and primed his rocket engine. In less than a second, the thruster's exhaust was glowing with incandescent energy, and he shot off in a generally northern direction, scanning at maximum for any signs of the public transportation hub which the human scientist had (admittedly briefly) described.

Sec made a last ditched attempt to save his life.
First, he attempted to fire the defoliator again.
Then, he began the self-destruct sequence, and would stop half-way though to throw the creature off, then he would fly away quickly.

Narumi continued to look for his friends when he saw the broadcast from Washington.

"Oh my..." Narumi said. He then took his Gaia Memory and ran off. "HENSHIN!" Naurmi said, nearly falling due to his broken leg.

SKULL!

Mason pounded on the Tv screen.
"USE THE FUCKING GUNS DOCTOR! USE THE FUCKING GUNS!"

Dr. Langley would find herself standing on a sheet of metal, eight feet long and 18 inches wide. Kimimaro stood atop it, channeling Bolas' flight spell through it - so long as the metal was touching Kimimaro, it shared his flight. "Might want to hang on, Doctor" he said, and he then willed his impromptu sky-surfboard forward, carrying himself and Langley to the north, following the others who had already gone ahead. "And if you're a bit freaked out by this, don't feel too bad; I'm plenty confounded myself with this whole 'flight' thing, but I'm pretty sure I've got the hang of it."

Meanwhile, on the Common Room floor, Hope's brand glowed a bright green, rather than the weak flickering it had before, as his magic kicked in and began to heal his shattered bones.

"Yup. That tasted purple."

-The Dullahan swings its lightningbolt sword towards the thing.-

Jack headed for Kimimaro's new platform, carrying Rey over his shoulder still. Given that the flight spell moved all things at the same speed, unless the shinobi slowed down, Jack would never catch up, and he could hardly carry someone else and fight at the same time. He certainly was not willing to set Rey down in a city which had fallen to darkness. All he could do was look over his shoulder and watch in horror.

Suddenly, a few shots were fired at the monster holding Sec. The shooter began to step forward. It was Kamen Rider Skull.

"Now, let me count up your sins..." Narumi said, gesturing the gun to the monster.

Zod flung the car at the nearest creature and followed the others-

The spinner struck the beast currently being savaged by Megatron, which was by this point in extremely poor condition; that the creature was still alive at all, though writhing in pain and alight with intense flame, was mute testament to its regenerative properties. Even so, it was not immortal, and as the hovercar slammed into it the creature went slack and began to dissolve into a fine vapour; the six delicate, frondlike appendages snapped off and drifted away like leaves caught in the wind, out of sight and out of mind.

The other ophidian, by contrast, barely reacted at all as Sec attempted to burn it with the defoliator; the Dalek's plan might have worked a minute earlier, had he tried to incinerate his assailant before activating his disintegration field, but now its rate of regeneration was through the roof, and the flames barely seemed to affect it at all. It turned slowly as Narumi shot at it, loosening its grip a fraction in order to get a better look at the strange thing trying to hurt it with those small, energy-infused pellets.

"Three blocks north, then turn right," Dr. Langley told Kimimaro. "After that, we should be able to see the transit hub a short way down the street."

Having heard her instructions through his Phi-module, Ravage pulled a sharp right and rocketed down the skyway in question. As the transmetal panther flew through the transparisteel canyons of Valhalla, his audio receptors picked up a veritable cacophony of screams, cries, gunfire and energy discharge, and he could see people streaming across elevated walkways in the hundreds, what few belongings they could carry held in hand or slung across their backs as they fled their homes and made for what he assumed would be the emergency shelters Washington had mentioned in his constantly-looping address.

Then the transport hub came into view, and the Predacon slowed down as he came in for a landing. It was a squat, cylindrical affair with multiple storeys and multiple berths for hoverbuses, taxispinners and other public transit vehicles on each level; most of these were empty, but one berth on the fourth floor held a doubledecker spinnerbus—a rounded, rectangular vehicle that was a mixture of blue and green rather than the expected red—that was all juiced up and ready to go. The only problem was that the vehicle's door was shut, barring entrance.

Not bothering with niceties, Ravage rapidly transformed back into robot mode and shoved one of his taloned hands through the glass panelling of the doors, then wedged his claws between the two halves and began to force them open. He didn't want to damage them too greatly; after all, considering the madness which had occurred thus far, it was quite likely that they would need to close them for the duration of their journey.

"I'm not liking this." Spriggan muttered, accompanying Jack on the way on instinct.

"Exit muna si Polgas. Ang kailangan dito ay si Dobermaxx!"

Rey had remained curled up on the ground, eyes wide, more or less shivering, but finally he was able to grind out a single word as Jack carried him, repeating it slowly.

"Angie...Angie...Angie..."

Easing back into life one step at a time

Narumi continued to fire the bullets at the monster. "That's right, let go of the bubble head..." Narumi thought.
