Enter The Arena As Your Avatar -- The Spinoff!

There doesn't seem to be anyone else around. However, the motorcycle, still on autopilot, suddenly drives up to the boy, standing in between him and Iron Man, and a custom stretcher comes out of the side, gently shoved underneath the boy. It then moves upwards a bit as a small scanner comes out, scanning the boy's body for injuries.

"Driver has 5 broken bones, 18 bruises, a small pelvis fracture and a light concussion. Current wounds can be healed by healing scan. Soul at currently 35% out of 50% capacity. Status: Stable. Driver can awaken safely. Watch has recieved no damage, but is currently offline.", the motorcycle's AI speaks up.

Since it has stopped attacking Iron Man, he'll get a chance to look it over and see that it's pretty high tech in design and probably functions as well. It's very unlikely that it outclasses the tech of his suit, but it's still impressive, apparently able to not just scan for wounds, but also heal certain ones and determine if its driver needs more medical help or not.

Demo and Argo look relieved.

"Thanks, Pietro. ... Um, sorry if we roughed you and Neuff up.", he says after noticing Pietro's wounds. "I didn't poison either of you, right? If so, tell me so that I can remove it before it starts taking effect."

The Darklings, meanwhile, turn to one another, a strange look of worry on their faces, then turn back to Pietro.

   "Alright then. Thanks."   , Emelyn says before spreading her wings and flying off.

   "Ah-um..."   , William says, looking as she goes, then sighing as he turns back to Pietro.

   "... look, all matters between you and Weber aside, I'm grateful that you saved us too, even if, most likely, you did so more to save them."   , he says, glancing at Demo and Argo as he says then, then looking back at Pietro.

   "Still, I can appreciate it, and I'm sure Emelyn does too. She's just bad with expressing gratitude."   

He spreads his wings.

   "I'll leave you with your friends then."   

He then flies up and off too, going after Emelyn.

He catches up to her easily.

   "Why did you ask him that?"   

   "Because, if the 14 days are up and we haven't changed back to normal, then I don't know what happened to Weber. On one hand, we can't stay Darklings for over 14 days in a row unless he wills it that way, so that points to him not having been caught, but on the other, if he has been caught, it'd also explain why he didn't just turn us back to normal to make us easier to defeat. But then again, if he was caught, his power wouldn't even reach us at all, so we should've changed back on the spot."   

   "Ah, I get it... so what do we do now? Look for Weber?"   

   "Amongst the people who have been saved. If 14 days are up, there's only two possibilities. Either he's there and has kept us Darklings, maybe to not risk something going wrong with our new spiritual states, or else..."   

   "Or else he passed his powers to someone else in the nick of time so that we could stay Darklings."   

   "Exactly. But the question is, who...?"   

They leave the Dark Realm.

Tony looks suitably impressed but also a little bit freaked out for some reason, though he doesn't quite show his panic, simply holding his hand out to get noticed.

Need a lift ? I can fly Fonzie and... the demon kid out of here. he says. Or at least Fonzie and you.

—

Cinke walk in, loudly playing on a trumpet, she's accompanied by a large Autobot.◊

I have little experience with organics but you can apparently automatically fix yourselves. Allow me to bring you out of this realm, however. he declares, straight to the point. He transforms into an ambulance and let Cinke's robot bring the duo inside of the ambulance, while Cinke joins them.

Thank you Pietro ! I have earned the opportunity to dissect them in peace !

Ratchet coughs.

Aww, they're my step-brothers, they know my sense of humor !

She closes the door and Ratchet head for the exit.

"Wow... I seriously misjudged those two Darklings. Still, it's nice to know that they aren't total dicks like their boss..."

After bidding farewell to William and Emelyn, Pietro offers Argo a reassuring smile,

"Don't worry, man, the worst thing you gave us were flesh wounds."

Cue Cinke arriving to load Argo, Demo, and Neuff into Ratchet's alt mode. Too exhausted to bother commenting on her morbid joke, he quickly hops into the ambulance with her before they're off.

"I wasn't expecting you to show up with a giant talking robot that can morph into an ambulance, but... thanks anyway, Cinke."

He plops down onto the floor.

The motorbike doesn't really move in response to Tony's question, though it does speak up.

"Interaction with the driver will require a proof of non-hostility as well as a license that you are capable of handling this equipment. Failure to do so and still trying to interact will result in immediate termination."

The boy starts to stir though, opening his eyes a little.

"M... mm... mw... wha? Huh?", he asks, trying to move, then wincing from the pain.

"S***, my leg..."

"Please remain idle until the healing scan has completed its course. This will take about 20 more seconds."

"Healing scan? ... Oh, right... I must've gotten hurt somehow, but I don't remember how... and Shinui is offline, so it must've been hecti-"

He then stops talking to himself, as he notices Tony, and stares warily.

"Um... hi?"

Argo looks relieved that their wounds aren't too bad. He and Demo then just stare at Cinke's entrance.

"... I'm a little unsure this is a good idea.", Argo mutters. "I feel like she might try to experiment on us."

He looks more panicked when Cinke makes her joke. Demo then grins though, likely having spent more time around Cinke than Argo has, and as such isn't really scared.

"Eh, have some sense of adventure, Argo."

"Your sense of adventure is gonna get you killed someday."

"With Neuff by my side, I'd feel more sorry for whatever killed me."

The two let themselves get carried into the Ratchet ambulance by the robot, and are then taken away.

Hey, quick résumé, you fell under Dharkon's control, he's an evil god of chaos and darkness and I had to knock you out to pull you out of his possession. You were under the control of this guy but he's also a victim. He's a spirit and you were his puppet, to sum it up.

We're in Dharkon's world and I'm going to need to ask you a question: First, where did you find that bike ? Can I put you in a world that's distinctively less chaotic and inky ? It counts as one question, it's not the same phrase but it's the same question.

—

If you except little, you'll get to see big. she says.

I got it from one of those old humans involving human reproducing. declares Cinke, proudly.

"Relax, Argo, you're not gonna become some twisted science experiment. Cinke's a total oddball, but she's not evil."

Pietro's gaze flickers to Cinke herself.

"'Old humans involving human reproduction'? Mind repeating that in a way that actually makes sense?"

He casts a quick glance at Rico Jr, who's also waking up and was luckily conscious enough to hear and understand what Tony said.

He then turns back to Tony.

"Um... this bike was made for me by G.E.M., the company of the man I used to work under. Same for my suit and helmet... the latter of which I just realized I'm not wearing."

"Your helmet is approximately 28 meters away from your current location. It has recieved severe damage. No programs have been lost but repairs must be made before it can function again. Its visor has been completely destroyed and requires a replacement."

"Ah, crap. That's going to earn me an earful from Mrs. Runihura..."

"Shall I activate an electromagnetic wave system to draw the helmet back to you?"

"Yeah... better bring it with me."

He then glances around, only now noticing the Dark Realm when Tony points it out.

"... yeah, I... I'm not a fan of this place. Looks kinda cool, but it's not a place I'd want to spend a lot of time in. Might be best to get out."

"Scan completed. Soul at currently 50% out of 50. Recovery successful."

He gets off the motorbike and, as the AI had proclaimed, the boy's wounds are fully healed. His leg is no longer broken, he has no trouble moving so his pelvis no longer has a fracture and even his concussion is gone. He picks up his sword, noticing it lying nearby.

Rico Jr, meanwhile, has gotten up and is dusting off his sleeves.

"And how are we going to deal with this Dharkon? Because from the way you summed that up I'm getting the impression that we're far from the only people who suffered this fate.", he asks Tony.

"... also, who exactly are you?"

Outside shepards base

"Well, you probably could use my help anyways, seeing that you're still using iron and steel armor... I think someone who knows a bit of chemomancy might help..." Charles would say this to camilla, smiling, as the air ripples a bit around him, as he makes minute gestures, seemingly pulling at invisible strings... Threads would begin to form...

I'm a billionaire and also a super-hero who single-handedly built a small army of those suits, I... oh nevermind, you're not from my world. I'm Tony Stark and I just saved your ass.

He looks impressed at the healing and prepares to leave the Dark Realm.

Well, we have a small army of people out for blood. Want to add two more members to it ? No, three, three.

Tony looks at the bike.

—

Porn.

—

And now, what are you doing ?

Laurent approach, floating above the mines.

Charle's Chemistry Class, Outside Shepards base

Charles would smile, as the strands would form more, and more, until there's enough for a good chunk to be in hand, He'd Hold it up, Smiling.

"Simply put, I used Materials present in the air to make a different compound through the magic of Chemomancy. It's a bit hard to explain, though... The material I just recombined is known as Kevlar where I come from..."

"Well, you saved me. I guess it's only fair if I help somehow.", Rico Jr says, shrugging. "And as an overlord, I can't just let someone get away with using me for their own goals."

The boy, meanwhile, looks awed at Tony all of a sudden.

"Seriously? A billionaire and a super hero? Okay then, you're awesome. And thanks for saving us!", he says, smirking.

"Count me in on this. I'm Alex."

He then starts tapping his watch.

"Actually, it'll be four members once I get Shinui back online. But we can do that outside of this place too, so let's get going."

He climbs back on his motorbike, grabbing the broken helmet that's now sticking to its side.

"Alright, autopilot off and I'm ready to go."

"Well, I can float all of a sudden, so I guess I'm ready to go too.", Rico Jr says.

"Okayyyyy... I never took you for someone who was legit into that sorta thing."

Pietro massages his temples, shaking his head as he does so.

"God, how much longer until our ride's over...?"

The group finally stop and Ratchet stops near Cinke's lab !

Thank you for bestowing a name upon the practice of human reproduction.

You're welcome !

She get out and rush towards the laboratory, being very pressed for some reason.

—

Iron Man nods and let out a laugh when the rider is impressed.

It's actually not that easy. You know, you get a lot of angry people on your tail and all.

He flies off with them.

—

Yes, a more durable material, am I right ?

"I may not be rich, but I know exactly what you mean.", Alex says as his motorbike flies after Tony, with Rico Jr following at some distance, not as fast as they are.

"Say, just asking... do you know someone named Viserys? Or someone with the title Dragonborn? If so, is he safe, or...?"

Noticing Cinke's sudden shift in behavior, Pietro decides to follow her into the lab.

"Oh, what is it this time? Have Dharkon and Galeem buried the hatchet, and magically fused into some... Hyper Death God 5000? C'mon, I've just wrapped up one intense fight, I'm seriously not in the mood for another."

Edited by IchigoMontoya on Feb 23rd 2019 at 1:34:42 AM

Hm ? No, I have a guest over.

Cinke enters the lab as Neuff and the bros are taken care of by Ratchet and the robots and led into another part of the lab. Thankfully, Thanos is in another part of the lab, where Cinke is heading, smiling smugly as he contemplates Pietro.

That would be a ludicrous turn of events.

—

Huh ? I wouldn't know... is he a tall medieval guy or something ? Then yeah, maybe he's alive but to be honest, I haven't been keeping in touch with the others.

Edited by Bolded1 on Feb 23rd 2019 at 10:37:43 AM

Charles would nod, as he explains. "When it comes to how much it weighs, Kevlar is stronger than steel. It's Usually used in denser padding, possibly with other materials inbetween layers, to create stab and bullet resistant equipment. Or, to be fair, arrow resistant, if you've never really used firearms... A marvel of the mid twentieth century. Hard to make usually, but with chemomancy, Making things like this is quite easy. Easier than making something out of metal for me, especially in terms of how much willpower and stamina...Mon dieu, Too much detail..." He'd appear embarassed after all this detail... seems he got lost in it...

"He's tall, and pretty buff too. And he has a helmet, in which he looks way different than without it, I'll tell you that much."

He looks worried.

"I hope he's safe. He helped me a lot when I felt lost, and I treated him like crap at first..."

"Huh... What kinda guest, like someone important from your universe, maybe another scientist?"

Pietro then catches sight of Thanos in the room ahead, much to his visible surprise.

"...What. Cinke, you wanna tell me what Thanos is even doing in your goddamn lab?!"

Edited by IchigoMontoya on Feb 23rd 2019 at 2:02:11 AM

His technology is advanced... and beside, he was insistent on checking my weapons.

After all, those weapons could be used against Galeem and Dharkon... and, why, perhaps some could be used against me. he says, not moving from his seat, but keeping a calm smile. I am the leader, after all.

-

How about I use a drone to look for him ?

—

Laurent simply nods and record it, not bothered by the details.

Sir, we face magic as well as arrows.

Edited by Bolded1 on Feb 23rd 2019 at 11:01:44 AM

He looks back at Tony, surprised.

"You'd do that for me? Y-yeah, thank you, Mr. Stark.", he says, smiling.
