Lambda, against better judgement, turned her Murakumo armor into sword form and pointed it at Nu. The crewmen quickly threw a white robe over Lambda, as she wasn't wearing anything beneath the armor, as Kokonoe never intended for it to come off of her.
"Like, whatever. No paradoxical dead chick is going to stop Sector Seven Supreme Captain Lambda the Fearless from sailing the seven seas and gathering all sorts of booty. This here Murakumo thingy is like a replica of the greatest sword ever made. It like, kills gods and stuff. It can cut through you easily matey!"
She stabbed the Murakumo to the floor, causing lightening to strike right behind her and a dramatic score to ring in from no where. She then lifts the sword back up again and gets into an awkward fighting position.
"Like, bring it on bitch. You should, like respect yer elders and such."

Don't PM me. We don't like being PMed."You ancient, decrepit, older than dirt, prehistoric hag! Lovely Queen Captain Nu☆Nu Deluxe Supreme is going to kill the shit out of you and some junk!"
With that, Nu started glowing ominously. She pointed her hand at Lambda and raised her voice.
"Gate of Babylon and some junk!"
With that, thousands of Nuswords were fired at Lambda. DISCLAIMER
Lambda tried to dodge the swords, but her unfamililarity with using the Murakumo as a sword caused her to trip over herself and take a sword to the leg. Her tatical CPU wasn't responding. Or rather, it was, but Lambda's mind couldn't hear it.
"I..I can like, do that too!" With this, black swords of her own appeared and began colliding with the Nuswords, causing them to cancel each other out.
"This isn't working. I guess it's time to go all out matey! Idea Engine! Activate!" With this, Lambda started to glow...and then started to twitch again, causing her to trip over herself. When she got back to her feet (after taking a Nusword to the back), her jolly expression was now blank and the aura around her was dim, almost unnoticeable.
"...dangerous to stability. Interference from soul component has been suppressed by Idea Engine. Systems stabilizing..." She was then interrupted by a Nusword to the stomach and fell to her knees.
"Murakumo armor deactivated. Reactivating Murakumo." With this, the sword, now laying on the ground, reformed back onto her body as her armor, tearing the robe on her to shreds. However, the armor wasn't enough to stop her from getting hit with several more Nuswords, causing her to collapse.
"Damage exceeding 80%. Medical assistance necessary. Activating regenerative sleep mode." Before falling into the sleep mode, Lambda muttered something.
"...I dreamed that I was an idiot."
OOC:I decided to go with an anticlimactic ending, as I really liked the idea of the Idea Engine "suppressing" Nu's influence. Then it dawned on me that while Lamdba was collecting herself and putting her armor back on, she would be stabbed by Nuswords, as Nu wouldn't relent. Sorry if I ruined everything.

Don't PM me. We don't like being PMed.Silence. Dead silence.
Captain Nu-Nu stared at the immobile Lambda, a dumbstruck look on her face. The Gate of Babylon had already ceased its assault, with many, many, many Nuswords now lying on the ground.
"Jeez, what a total lightweight! I guess Lov... or C... no, that's not it. Er, I guess Nu be the winner and junk!"
Nu pulled a Nusword out of Lambda and held it up to the sky, triumphantly.
"Remember this as The Day Nu Was Fabulous, mateys!"
What shall be next in store for Nu-Nu?
On Carl’s trail Bang met a unique person, overly androgynous as he would put it.
Feminine looks aside, the ninja admired such vigorous youth.
“What healthy young man, first I thought he was rather effeminate, but such passion only comes from a man, a real man!”
Bang was joyous, he detected an ally of justice right then and there; the boy seemed to be talking to him, but the ever burning Bang was lost in his thoughts, and there he thought.
“Young lad, I found justice in you, your looks are of little importance to me; bounty hunter is your job, if I recall it right the beginning of our encounter, that’s perfect!”
Initiates Bang, as he only cared to talk, not hear.
“You see, I’m a hero of love and justice, but also a vigilante, a job not different from yours. What do you say, eh little friend? Would you care to join me in a quest to fix this ungodly space disruption?”
The hero stated his offer, but he did not wait for a reply,
“Of course, there’s no need to answer me now, I’m sure your heart will call upon justice, and join me in my mission if it feels like that; as you can see I’m in a bit of hurry, I must look for my close peers first. Don’t fret young man, you can join me whenever you like, AWAY! *Toh~*
And there goes the loud ninja, who seemed to invite a stranger, with apparent little concern to what actually the boy wanted.

Hakumen, whatches the fight from the shadows with a bit of disgust.
He wonders whether or not he should allow the noisy Murakumo unit to live, though he knows that one day she'll have to be destroyed.

"All worlds begin in darkness and all so end. The heart is no different."-AnsemSol-Badguy
The Flame of Corruption, the Proto-Type gear, whatever people called him, was lost. There was a first time for everything. He walked the streets, a hand on his head trying to suppress the headache this search had given him. "Tch..." he pulled the hand off his head and just spit to the side. It was frustrating, exceedingly so. There was a rip, or a tear, or something foreign interferring with his world. That was a given, or at least for him. A second ago he was with Sin, now? ... Not so much. He was walking around, trying to figure out where or when he was.
"Goddammit." he muttered, walking forward.. eventually catching sight of something humanoid. Was it a Gear? No, probably not. Yellow jacket, cat ears... a beast? Huh. "Hey!" it was now or never if he was going to get direction. "Hmph... hey!" he called again, getting slightly aggrivated.
Ragna the Bloodedge
"Dammit..." the Grim Reaper stood there, scratching his head. This entire situation was stressing. He was .. well, he didn't know what he was doing. Trying to find Hazama? Yeah, that was certainly it. "Gghhh..." he expressed his dismay before taking another step forward. "Hey!" he said, hoping someone could hear him. "HEY!"

Again, Ky didn't flinch at the much fiercer wind that blew across the area, but he could swear there was a whispering of great power behind the gale. Whoever this girl was... she was likely stronger than any human.
Regardless, he offered the young blonde a small smile. "I am Ky Kiske, of the Holy Knights. You aren't the first to tell me of my 'naivete' either..." He added with a small sigh. True, his views might seem pretty black and white at first glance, but he was at least aware of shortcomings with that way of thinking... still.
"May I have the privilege of knowing your name, miss?" Ky asked, a hand still gripping the hilt of his sword. It was best not to assume she was dissuaded from battle, after all. He needed to be on his guard...
May continued to run towards the ship, not taking much notice of Noel following behind her. She had her crew to worry about now. Blonde, flat chested woman could wait till later. Though.... how was she to get on the ship? She had no way of flying up the-
Oh look it's landing. Wait... it's landing?! In the middle of a city?! Just what kind of lunatic was controlling Johnny's ship? If they put so much as one dint in it they're so dead. Actually, they were already so dead for threatening the safety of her crew and stealing the Mayship, but that's besides the point.
"Meow?" The kaka turned her hooded head towards the man who was just calling. He looked tasty... no Tao, Booby Lady said not to try and eat strangers anymore. So... if she knew him, then does that mean she could eat him? Oh, maybe he can tell her where some food is, "Hiiiii Grumpy Face, can you tell Tao where she can get something to eat?"
"Ky Kiske. Indeed, a very fitting name for one such as yourself." Rachel thought out loud. A smile formed on her lips.
"Forgive my rudeness. My name is Rachel Alucard, the master of this house. It is ever so nice to meet you." She extended her hand to him, motioning for a handshake.
And thus, the Nuship landed very cleanly (not really) on top of something that used to be known as a theatre. Nu threw confetti to the confused and terrified and gravely injured townspeople.
"Like, rejoice and some junk, as Captain Nu-Nu has arrived to make y'all her bitches!" As Nu said that, she casually tossed the unconscious Lambda off the ship with a charming smile.
"I, like, be coming in peace~!?"
"Thank you, Miss Alucard." Ky replied, bowing his head to the young girl before him. He hesitated a moment, looking at her offered hand before taking it with his free one. His eyes watched her every slight movement, just in case. He'd been in many similar situations in which an offer for a handshake was some sort of trap. They tended not to work too well on him these days.
Noel gasped in horror as the ship landed on a section of the city, not caring for whatever may be beneath it. She could only hope no one was trapped underneath that thing. Whoever was controlling it needed to be stopped!
Finally remembering her communicator, Noel attempted to call in reinforcements, only for the signal to be conveniently jammed. Well... it was hardly a subtle entrance, so help had to already be on the way.
"Listen, May, I'll deal with this, you need to get somewhere safe!" Noel told the orange-clad girl, putting on a brave face to hide her nervousness as she scanned the side of the ship for an entrance.
As Ky's hand touched hers, Rachel wasted no time in carrying out her task.
That is, teleportation. The two soon found themselves in front of the ominously glowing Sheol Gate beneath Kagutsuchi's NOL branch.
"I am feeling rather generous at the moment, Mr. Knight. I do recommend you be grateful for my most graceful assistance." Rachel said, a tone of smugness in her voice.
"What we are experiencing right now is a merger of realities. At the core of it all is... well, I guess revealing it all now would be rather unbecoming of me, wouldn't it? At any rate, this location is a prime factor in our current predicament."
Rachel could hardly contain her giddiness.
"Do you have any questions, Mr. Ky Kiske?"
Meanwhile, Captain Nu-Nu was playing her PSP, casually waiting for someone to challenge her.
"Somewhere safe? Not while my crew is in danger!" May replied vehemently, determination burning in her eyes. There was no way Noel was gonna talk May out of this. That psychopath was gonna pay for what she was doing to her crew. Now to get inside, the problem was that it could only be opened from the inside by her crew, but she hasn't been able to get in contact with April since that distress call. May just knew something happened to her friend and she was even more desperate to get inside. If worst comes to worst, she would bust a hole in the ship with her anchor.
"Grumpy Face? Ha, that's a new one." Sol commented, examining the Kaka cat up and down. Yeah, certainly wasn't a Gear, but that didn't mean she wasn't extremely awkward in her own unique way. "Something to eat?" he cocked a brow. Well, he did have some stuff on him.. and he didn't have any companions at the moment. No, no, now certainly wasn't the time to feed some stranger. "If the circumstances were different, I'd feed you but now..." he walked on, completely disregarding the kitten, "I've got work to do."
"Like, Captain Nu-Nu be like totally detecting a loser poser bitch just outside the ship and some junk." Nu said, looking up from her PSP. She pointed at a Nucrew member, who gasped in terror.
"You. Bitch. Go check out who's cramping my style, matey. If you don't, you walk the plank and some junk." She motioned for the terrified crewmate to go fend off the intruder, obviously not aware of the "intruder's" identity.
"Like, ohmigawd, Nu totally lost again! The AI cheats and junk! It cheats! AAAAGHGAHHJA "
Nucrew Bitch #4 ran off, tears in her eyes, deep inside the ship. After much running, she eventually came across an emergency exit.
Things had been weird, lately. But kind of fun, too! There was lots of new people, and lots of things that looked new, and different, and... well...
Amelia was pretty happy with how things were going, now. She had a whole new town to explore! She wondered what it was. it was certainly different from Kagutsuchi... was that a big ship off over there? It looked like one... hmmm... looking through the city more, or that ship? There was so much stuff to look around at. Maybe even new people to fight... she hadn't fought anyone in a little while, and that was always fun! Unless she lost. Then she tended to be sore for a while... but that was okay, since she started feeling better lately.
Or maybe just talking to people. That was nice too.
"Oh, dear. The toad, the monkey, and the dog have all screwed up."Trying this again. Here we go!
Hakumen calmly steps off of the Nuship. He was not sure what had come over the Murakumo unit to make it act the way it was, but it didn't seem to be much of a threat now (and the way it was talking was giving him a major headache).
He surveyed the scene around him and it seem as if Kagutsuchi had landed on top of another city.
"Surely whoever or whatever is behind this is truly powerful."
Hakumen felt a need to seek out the cause of this "incident", and thought best to start at the NOL headquarters.
He begins walking toward the city.
"All worlds begin in darkness and all so end. The heart is no different."-Ansem"She fell from the ship. Is she one of them?"
One of the scavengers gathered around the Nuship noticed Lambda crash into the ground and made time away from his gawking to poke at her. Not content at her refusing to budge, the man decides to kick her over.
"Hostile force detected. Emergency start up engaged."
As Lambda rose to her feet automatically, the man ran back into the crowd in fear. Lambda stood still for a moment, muttering to herself.
"Loading...Loading...Initializing. Murakumo Unit: Green. Idea Engine: Green. Damage levels exceeding 76%. Regeneration since shut down: only 4%. Extreme caution must be made when dealing with hostiles. Communication with Sector Seven has been lost. Reactivating Automatic Mode. Objective: Find Noel Vermillion. Eliminate Yuuki Terumi. Resolve paradox involving Boundary Interface Prime Field Device Number 13. Filing third objective as secondary."
Lambda began scanning the crowd for any signs of the two people she was searching for. Noticing Noel Vermillion among the crowd around the Nuship, Lambda moved to monitor her, knowing that she shouldn't engage with her current damage.

Don't PM me. We don't like being PMed.Millia Rage roamed this strange, distorted landscape on her lonesome. She could see a strange, tall, almost mountain-esque city in the distance, along with a crash-landed Mayship.
She flipped her long hair in an overly extravagant manner.
What is even going on I cannot
As Millia pondered this curious curiosity, she spotted a small child (Amelia) wandering around the warped city streets.
"H-hello, there." Millia nervously said, approaching the child. "Are you lost? It's dangerous here right now, so you shouldn't be wandering around like this. I'm Millia, what's your name?"
"But I can't place someone like you in danger!" Noel argued. "Please, just tell me where the entrance to this thing is and let me handle i-"
At that point, some sort of exit made itself known near the ship's base as someone from inside opened it. Well, that certainly helped.
Noel stepped forward. "Hey! Are you a prisoner? Come here, the NOL will take care of this!" She called to the distressed looking girl. Whoever was inside must be a truly terrible person...
Despite his guarded movements, Ky hadn't expected this girl to warp him elsewhere. He glanced around the area, trying to figure out what he was looking at. Whatever it was, Rachel knew it well.
"...A merging of realities...?" Ky muttered to himself with a small frown. "Does this mean it isn't a simple anomaly of time?"
Ky looked at Rachel. "I... have several,. Miss Alucard. First one that comes to mind would be, do you have any idea how to reverse this predicament?"
Nucrew Bitch #4 jumped from the exit and to Noel and May.
"OHGODOHGODMAYMAYMAYMAYYYYYY you need to get inside the ship this is the worst thing that has ever happened ever"
The poor girl was hysterical.
Rachel smiled at Ky. She was positively overjoyed.
"Mr. Knight, I can say with confidence that this is one of the biggest rifts in reality to ever occur. Indeed, it is an immeasurable crisis." The grave information exchanged did not at all match Rachel's ecstatic voice and expression.
"Reversing this phenomenon is possible, yes. However, I do not know if you are worthy of such information."
Rose petals appeared out of nowhere and floated around Rachel.
"Would you be so kind as to allow me to... test your might, Mr. Knight?"
Valiant, he goes, Bang’s Subordinate is steady in his quest to aid his master.
To ask for the assistance of many, but only a few bothered to even listen to him.
“I don’t understand, how come so many warriors do not know of Boss Bang, or adamantly refuses to work in his aid?”
Dumbfounded, Bang Subordinate A asks himself.
“Truly saddening to know so many do not know of such burning leadership, but I will not falter, for I carry Boss’ will and passion, my quest does not end here!”

"You... poser bitch! There be only one Captain of the Nuship and that Captain is Lovely Captain Queen Nu☆Nu, ye scurvy dog!"
Nu summoned the Nusword, an extravagant pirate blade.
"I, like, challenge you to a duel and some junk! I be showing you, the Nucrew, Captain Ragna, and that other poser bitch that I be the baddest and kawaiiest pirate of the whole world and junk!"
Confetti rains from the sky.
