A Game of Gods: Taskforce Sifuri

~*~The Salubrious Society Of Scientific Sensationalists~*~

"But it is somewhere where we could find it, or we wouldn't be given the task of finding it, and its more advanced than us, therefore it must be able to find us as well, which it will do as soon as it identifies are presence."

Sec resisted the urge to strangle Sherlock.
"YOU-ARE-IN-COR-RECT, WE-ARE-UN-ABLE-TO-REACH-IT, AND-IT-DOES-NOT-WANT-TO-FIND-US."

"NO MIBIL HAS NO CLUE OR WE'D BE TAKEN RIGHT THERE. AND HOW. WILL. IT. DETECT US."

Spider-Man tries to calm down. "Sec is right. The logic is very flawed."

"Mbili would not have tasked us with this task if we couldn't do it, and he didn't bring us straight there because the thing hates him and his entire species." Sherlock sighs slightly, "Anyways, of course it doesn't want to find us, it doesn't know of our existence, yet, but as soon as it does, which isn't going to take an extraordinarily long time if we search for ways to get to wherever it is, it will come to us. It is alone, and hates its creators. It has already shown a propensity for caring for others, given its reaction to why it was abandoned, and if it cares about others, it probably wants the company of others, and we are going to it, so it will become aware of us at some point, and seek us out."

Robotboy surreptitiously lowered the volume on his audio receptors. The others' arguing was clearly getting them nowhere.

The scenery changed again. This was good, since the battlefield was getting to be a bit disconcerting. She shook her head, trying to regain her composure. So this... being had called them here to locate and retrieve some sort of weapon for him? After a few moments, the magician managed to work up the nerve to pose a question to Moja. "And what can we expect to face once we set out to retrieve this... Sifuri?" She asked, still rather uncertain of what was going on or what any of these creatures where.

Sec couldn't handle Sherlock's insane raving anymore.
He threw a punch at Sherlock, aiming for the face.

The second the punch was thrown, Quote drew King's Sword. He stepped between Sec and Sherlock, with the sword kept out ominously. The meaning was obvious. Drop it.

"I will." Ayumu gently but firmly squeezed Lyna's hand to show that he meant it. He also gave a small smile at the girl being flustered, though he knew not why she was so.

Sec would find that his punch did not strike its intended target at all- somehow, Mbili had appeared in front of him, and his punch did nothing to the red being's lumiescent skin. "Enough of this." he said, his voice cutting through the confusion and bickering like an axe through wood. The scene around them faded, revealing the sunken marble pit that the group had initially arrived in. "You must learn to work as a team, squabbling like children will get us nowhere. Am I clear?"

"Now, Sifuri is powerful, but it is not omnipotent;" said Mbili matter-of-factly. "It may know that we are trying to retrieve it, for it can deduce the reasoning of our species, but it does not know which shape or form you will take. Indeed, it has not been exposed to any other universes save for mine and the one it is in currently. However we do not know what shape it has taken on either. We do have the technology to track it down, for pieces of the ship that carried it have scattered across the universe. Analyzing and collecting these will allow us to triangulate the universe in which it landed, and from there you will be able to retrieve it and use it. I am aware of one component currently; although it will be difficult to retrieve..."

"Sifuri is a sleeping giant," said Moja simply. "We are not aware of its current location, and we are not even aware of its full power- and it is likely that it has changed and adapted over the centuries into an entirely unrecognizable form."

As the scene around them dissolved back into the sylvan glen, Moja proceeded to explain many of the facts that Mbili had, stating how exactly he could locate Sifuri's location.

"There are a great many challenges along the way," said Moja to Twilight. "Some of the clues are located in hostile or inimical universes, ones which may test your strength. But it is imperative that Sifuri is recovered and utilized as quickly as possible."

"Good god. This is just what we need."

Sky went to draw out his SPD-issued blaster from his waist and aimed it at Sec.

"If you're pissed about something, it's fine with me. We don't need to turn this into some kind of MMA match here."

Megamind was in his seat looking at the screen full of the citizens of Metropolis. "Look at them minion. So, scared, So, frightened of us. We are going to give them the fight of the century."

The Fish in the fishbowl connected the cyborg ape bodied sighed, "That's what you always say, Sir."

The hostage calmly told Metroman,"I'm at the abandoned observatory."

Megamind swapped the camera over to himself, "No we're not."

Metroman flew to the old abandoned observatory on the hill, tore through the roof to find it empty. A mindbot flew in and projected Megamind on the wall

"Haaaahhaaaa, you've fallen into my trap. Minion activate the ....", a bright green light that burned the eyes of all who saw enveloped Megamind.

A bright green eye piercing light appeared and deposited Megamind in front of Spiderman and Holmes, "Deathray! Wait, what? Where am I; I demand you explain to me now!" Megamind gave a stern face and pointed his finger at the ground to give expression to his demand.

"And there's the challenge." Sherlock said, now satisfied.

Kribnefka raised his eyebrow.

"If you had said we were going planehopping to sentient planes from the start, it would have simplified matters. What are we talking about here, the Plane of Wood, the Plane of Hatred, the Plane of Negative Energy, or The Plane of Dreams?"

Sec did as he was told. He did not want to be sent back from whence he came.
"Difficult? I require 5 ounces of Silicronian alloy, some Skarosian rubies, tools, some electronics equipment and a firearm if I am to go into battle."

We are magic. You are but normal.

"You know," we told the blue god, "that sort of brutality is all too familiar to us. We were forced to commit acts of unspeakable brutality before we were blessed with free will. However, we must still leave fatalities as we fight the forces of darkness, for we would be destroyed if we did not fight back. Evils in our home realm are always savage, even when cultured."

After making sure that the group's scuffle had ended, Quote shealthed King's Sword. If this group was working together, it didn't need to be fighting each other.

Turning his attention back to their patron, Quote nodded. A quest, that was what was ahead of them. That was much more familiar ground for Quote, as he had had to do many such tasks on the Floating Island. This would be even easier, as he would have more help then just Curly.

Eyeing Holmes and Sec, he paused. Or perhaps not.

"Good."

Sky holstered his blaster.

"Seems like we've got a lot of work to do."

Eiji walked over to Sky. "I agree. I won't let a Precious like this... Sifuri fall into the wrong hands. Incidentally... I recognize that uniform. You are... Dekaranger?"

Krika listened intently to the blue being's lecture, for most part he agreed but...

Power, such power is liable to corrupt even the most strong willed; if we ever reach this Sifuri, I would not trust these beings to do what they planned to do.

Nevertheless Krika decided that it would be best to follow through and play his part in this insane gambit.

Spider-Man looks confused as sarcasm slips into his tone. "Wait... So you summoned us all while you have no idea where or what it is AND with only one clue that you expect us to get and basically letting us do your job?"

Spider-Man slowly claps. "Smooth Mibil. Smooth. Genius planning I see."

Holmes smiles, "Isn't it wonderful! Its like Christmas come early, except without any serial killers, but this more than makes up for it!"

"Do not taunt the being who could sever all your atomic bonds."

"Seriously, you're just ignoring me?"

Megamind whipped out his dehydrator, "Now you will answer the devilishly handsome super villain - Megamind!", he squinted menacingly at the others.

Sec turned around to Megamind.
"I am seeing a theme here."
