"That'd be swell! Though, I think Ninth is already on standby, and once Single is done warding of the invasion going for Beppa he'll be back to man the turrets."
"Wait, have you met Ninth yet?"
"And... I dunno, do you know any gods or users of Counter Chaos?"
/\。。/\Kulve Taroth's whole body is engulfed in yellow light... except for the gold with which she has adorned herself. Her form morphs and shrinks into a different shape as her pained roars turn into humanlike screaming.
Then the light fades, and there stands Kulve Taroth in the form of an attractive-looking... semi-human woman. Similar to Celestial!Derak, her hands and feet are still claws, she still has her horns, tail, and scales, and she's a good 9 feet tall.
However, the massive gold mantle that once covered her draconic form has been left behind like an empty shell, leaving her humanoid body bare.
Kulve Taroth herself seems shocked and a little scared by the sudden transformation. She falls on all fours, panting from the strain, then looks up at Tiamat. "Tia, dear, be honest with me... Am I naked?"

"A wizard is never late, nor is he early. He arrives precisely when he means to."She nods a few times.
« We are discussing her entry into our universe and a battle plan against her sisters. » declares the lady. « Feel free to help. »
« Noted then. »
Sarah check her phone
« My god friends are not available, sorry. » she says. « Perhaps this realm will take care of it. »

"Hm... enlighten me on them, please." she says. "I always like to get more knowledge."
Nautolan picture belongs to Bonesmarinated on twitterHe smirks.
"Gee, thanks."
"They started off as a resurrection of the Demon Patrol. Well, technically most of the known universe and afterlife is mobilized as the Counter Chaos Patrol, but when people talk about them in passing they really mean the elite, not the relatively ordinary armies that are deployed against standard incursions. Basically, they take the most powerful beings from around the universe, organize them into teams (eighteen, one for each sector), and basically deploy them to the most dangerous incursions or most powerful daemons."
"They can be divided into Powerhouses and Specialists. Powerhouses include Zen'O, Rigor, Majin Buu, Toppo, and others. Specialists are people with wonky powers or abilities that make them effective despite lacking strength, like Duo, Reimu, Vegeta, and Bulma. Kakarotto technically counts for both."
/\。。/\"Hm... I know some of your world's inhabitants. That Vegeta fellow being a specialist seems odd, he seems very heavy on the offense with his fancy-named yet deadly moves." she says. "But then, the Powerhouses have to be simply stronger than that, it interest me. And not only because of my usual love for fighting." she says, smiling.
"This is very interesting though. I'm not surprised about Goku... that's his earthling name right ? being in both. He's skilled yet strong."
Nautolan picture belongs to Bonesmarinated on twitter"Yeah, he just isn't quite as powerful as the other powerhouses, but he makes up for it by holding the counterchaos rune. His blasts are literal anathema to daemons."
"Eh… nobody really calls him that anymore. He may pretty much be God, but Vegeta, despite being essentially forgotten by the living world, kind of had the last laugh. Pretty much nobody knows him as anything but Kakarotto."
"Yeah, he's REAL strong. I'd say his base form is about as strong as the former Grand Priest of the Omniking. And it kind of helps that that's only going by his actual ki: He's absorbed several sets of dragon balls and is now basically an Eternal Dragon himself."
/\。。/\"Hm, so his blasts are already lethal. His raw power isn't as high as the others but even a glancing blast could do a lot of damage... I see. How did he get such an item ? Or was it bestowed upon him by allies ?"
"Ha, yes. Well, it's odd that Vegeta would be forgotten for eons were spent after all so... its not that odd." she declares. "He did contribute to the greatest crises of your universe, before the daemons invaded, according to my sources. Though he wasn't exactly helpful at some point during those." she declares. "When he wasn't the antagonist."
"I'd like to fight him, even if the result would be obvious."
Nautolan picture belongs to Bonesmarinated on twitter"I have no idea. I know he had it for a short while in back in the 750s, but I think he forfeited it to get his old powers back. He probably just traded back or something."
He notices Nicole.
"Oh hey! We're talking about the Counter Chaos Patrol."
"What do YOU think about my artillery?"
He gestures to the assortment of lascannons, nukes, and railguns behind him.
"Vegeta certainly was important, but he isn't particularly ancient. My world is technically the Seventh main civilization of humanity: he lived in the sixth. Human civilization stretches pretty far back. Though, for what he WAS present for, I'd suppose he was a great help."
"I'd say the lack of knowledge is more because of the catastrophic shift between the Sixth and Seventh men."

/\。。/\Tiamat composed herself, spawning two more of those chairs from out of nowhere, as she is wont to do. "In the simplest terms? Yes. As nice as you look like this, however, you may wish to acquire some form of clothing. That gold cloak doesn't seem to fit you too well, but something like that would still be in your style, darling."
Her arcane duplicates seem a bit more flustered by the proceedings, but the get back to work fairly quickly.
"The Stick has sentimental value. It's like an enormous, hideous teddy bear we can kill things with." -rikalous"What he said. And I'm not surprised about him trading it back apparently."
"Don't worry about it, there are understandable circumstances. It's a tragedy to lose so much knowledge but the heroes of the past still live on and protect the universes against these creatures. Is there any hope of stopping the flow and reversing the invasion, perhaps ?" she asks, very curious.
Nautolan picture belongs to Bonesmarinated on twitterKulve Taroth rises to her feet. "I... think I can handle this." She grabs her shedded mantle, and her hand-claw heats up until the gold starts to melt. In a blur of heat, the gold starts to reshape into... a fabric-like substance. It's still very clearly gold, but it has the texture of clothing material. Some of the gold sloughs off and takes on a more silky, fur-like texture.
As if she's been a magic tailor all this time, Kulve Taroth makes the gold piles into the shape of a luxurious snuggie (think bathrobe plus full-body pajamas), which she drapes over herself. There's still a hell of a lot of metal left over.
"Is this a good look, Tia? You can have the leftovers if you want."

"A wizard is never late, nor is he early. He arrives precisely when he means to.""It sure is a tragedy. Outside of Penguinopolite historians, I'm probably the most knowledgable person on Terra, what with my time machine."
"Well, yeah. Anything comes through that rift over there, Imma blow it to HFIL."
"Probably not, Sarah. They come from an entire other layer of reality, and can enter anywhere: At least, they can force entrances pretty much anywhere. Durabil makes it way harder than it used to be for them, but strong ones can still do it. Or they could just rise up through hell and otherworld."
"At least they have to fight through the Chaotic Hells, the Helldarks, Mythic Layers, Deep Hell, and HFIL before they can hit anything real important."
/\。。/\"Well, he is preparing for war.."
"The god of destruction isn't a pal that I can really call over. We work together but I don't quite have him on my phone and this place might just not allow him to get in there." she declares. "So he can't just Erase that piece of ground, those daemons or the enemies out there." says Sarah.
"HIFL ?" she asks, confused. "And that is unfortunate but at least, we have people to watch over your world."
Nautolan picture belongs to Bonesmarinated on twitterA minor daemon looks through the rift.
"HEY! YOU! GIT BACK!"
It glowers, and sinks back into the darkness.
"Uh… a fish God of Destruction?"
He fixes Sarah with a look.
"I already asked Ninth, but… is there a non-arena connection between our two homeworlds? Because that sounds like the former God of Destruction from our Sector 8."
/\。。/\

« Perhaps I should get a blue dot on my face to be recognized ? She says, with a small jokey grin
She look on.
« Well there is nothing like overkill. You are working on slaying those demonic beings after all, am I right ? »
