Today the hand is tired, the input missing.
The hands of fate move yet, and with them moves the boy who had appeared here a while back. How much time ago? Time is hardly a matter in this realm. Yet, a past and a future do exist. You can say events happened before or after other events. That is already something. Not all realms can boast that. Or perhaps, they all can, and it is we who can only interpret time in a specific way?
It is at least sure that none of these matters went through the man's mind, as he once more leaned, against a column this time, and kept his eyes closed and his hands in his coat's pockets. It was a pretty good coat, brown in color. If you looked at him from afar, you could almost swear his features were not as defined as the space surrounding him. As though, specifically centered on him, the camera lens that allowed you to see the world had not properly adjusted its focus- but only very slightly. Or was it just a trick of the eye...?
The woman of the hour
Chapel
"Unlikely, not even magic breaks it"
she had given up hope long ago
"So we just stick to our parts"
the man leaning
A strange girl with rainbow hair and rainbow clothing took notice of him
"Hey you! whats your name? what tea do you like? do you like tea? do you want tea? how about cookies? how about not cookies? how about biscuits?"
she seemed very hyper, because she was.
"Im maddie!"
Your Jordans are fake, fake as hell. Dollar Store ass shoes
And the man is thusly approached by a rather... peculiar girl, her hair rainbow and her personality seemingly not of the quiet type. She faced the man with a veritable onslaught of question; and he could do little to keep himself from giving in a small chuckle as he heard them. But still, a question's a question, right? So he might as well give an answer.
"Name's Arthur. Biscuits or cookies would not be bad. As for tea, hmmm..."
Tea, huh? He'd never really been one for tea, not enough at least to be able to say which one was his favorite. He sighed. What a troublesome question, that was! If she had asked about pastry, or about coffee, or yet about flavors of milkshakes, he would have had an answer ready! ...But as things stood now, he did not. So he replied with:
"Any tea's good. Gonna trust your judgment."
"Agh, I thought it'd be like with Metal Sonic...", Silver mutters upon realizing he can't grab a hold of Super Syber Safi'jiiva's Chaos Spears. Of course, Chaos Control affects him too, but since he wasn't attacked during any of their uses just now, he doesn't notice.
He glances at Excalibur Sonic.
"Cutting off its tail... I don't know how to help with that. I can create psychic blades, but against a mechanical enemy using all of the emeralds, I don't think they'll be strong enough to make a difference."
He then notices more and more of his allies using their special forms, or, in Shadow's case, momentarily considering it. Not having anything like that makes Silver unsure on what he can do. He sees that Schezo doesn't have some special form (or if he does he's not hinting towards it), and briefly wonders if he should help him out, but he then notices he already has something in mind, considering the way he stacks his Puyos.
Knuckles had been launched far out of Silver's range, and while Knuckles doesn't have a special form he can just use at will, his overall strength might've made up for that. Still, he's out of range, so Silver can't assist him. He doesn't even know if Knuckles is conscious or not right now.
"I need to do SOMETHING... but what?", he thinks to himself. He then seems to think of something.
"If this works, either it'll be able to damage it, or it'll distract the dragon and give everyone else a chance to attack."
He breathes in and out, focusing his powers and raising his arms. All of the debris from the destroyed parts of the mountainside down below begin to float upwards, coming together above Silver and being slammed into one another, slowly creating a massive rock sphere. He doesn't throw it yet though, purposely giving Super Cyber Safi'jiiva time to notice it. If that doesn't prompt a reaction from the cyberdragon though, Silver will go ahead and throw it at Super Cyber Safi'jiiva's head.
If Sonic catches a glance of the attack, he may recognize it as an adapted form of one of the techniques Silver used against him the last time they fought.
Meanwhile, there's no sign of Knuckles yet.

"Yay!"
Madeline seemed to grab a table out of nowhere, complete with a full teaset and cookies, placing it on the ground, and pouring arthur a cup
"I just got my favourite kind!"
her favourite kind was green tea
"Here!"
she handed him the cup, smiling constantly

If it's magic, maybe we have to consult with somebody with magical powers. Can tou tell us more about it? I can't found nothing in my scriptures...
...
To the scene with Arthur and Maddie, arrived a girl with curly hair. She looks like a high school student, but have a little secret...
Do you mind if I going with you? My name is Tatyana. I was awaiting here for my friend, but he isn't punctual...

The Bannered Mare, Whiterun
While the rest of the Republic forces were conveniently absent, Jedi Sentinel Raeii Berjol
◊ is talking to Link.
The hero of dimensions hands him a Shard of Naydra's Horn. The Jedi is taken aback by how cold it is, but he quickly calms himself.
"And you say... this came from that blue and white monster?"
Link nods.
"I... see."
- [Hand it back]
- [Keep it]
"This doesn't belong in a Jedi's hands. Take good care of those materials."
- I will.
- I won't.
Raeii's expression sours.

"He's gearing up for war."
Whiterun, Bannered Mare
Ben enters the tavern, having finished his training and meditation for the day. After listening to Raeii and Link's conversation, he telekinetically summons the shard to his waiting grasp with the Force.
"Whatever this thing is, it might be more prudent to keep it in Jedi hands than allow the Empire's scientists to use it for any potential superweapons."
Laxin, Sith Emperor
The Bannered Mare - Whiterun
Zeloai exited his room, entirely unaware of what was going on. His gaze flickered to Ben, the shard of Naydra in his hand. The Jedi master walked up to Raeii, extending his hand.
"I am Master Zeloai, a pleasure to finally make your acquaintance."
He turned to Link,
"And you are?"

King of the Monsters
Super Cyber Safi'jiiva's tail comes off.
Cyber Safi'jiiva
Parts Broken
This causes it to go reeling and fall onto its side, before quickly rolling to its feet, looking winded and angry. It then loses a horn to the attacks aimed at its head.
Cyber Safi'jiiva
Parts Broken
This prompts it to immediately start absorbing bioenergy to heal, though just like Sonic predicted, its tail and horn don't regenerate.
Then, it roars in fury as its eyes start glowing red!
Yasha is being targeted
It builds up energy in its maw, then in its eyes as well, before firing one large beam and two thin rays at Yasha, the latter causing the ground to explode where they hit. If Yasha is killed by the attack, it will sweep this triple beam across the battlefield to target the rest of its foes as well.
Yasha fucking dies.
While Cyber Safi'jiiva turns around the battlefield, Zenkichi spots his opening and slashes the boulders on which he stands, sending them plummeting towards the monster's outstretched wings!
Sonic gets blasted out of his Excalibur armor. He raises his hand to swing a sword, only to realize that it has faded from his grasp. "... Well, crap."
Mega Man jump-jets over the blasts and fires a Super Charged Shot, before deactivating Power Gear.
Schezo grimaces as he continues to build his Puyo stack. When the beams pass over him, his stack takes the damage instead of him, resulting in a fat load of Nuisance Puyos being dumped on the stack, and forcing him to pop small groups of colored Puyos that aren't enough to get a chain going in order to clear them away.
Shadow jumps over the blasts and does a Homing Attack.
Link notices the shard levitating and snatches it back, faster than Ben can react.
"So much for that."
- I'm a hero too.
Link gives his name, and explains how he's a warrior who was born into this world as a reincarnation of a long line of warriors from another world. His signature sword, which he shows off to them, glows in the presence of evil - and right now it's not glowing.
"Think that could withstand a lightsaber?"
- It could withstand anything.
Silver gets hit by Cyber Safi'jiiva's sweeping beam. He does bring up a psychic field to attempt to block it, but the attack breaks through. It does limit the amount of damage Silver takes though, so he's not too badly wounded, though he is forced to land back on the ground.
"Nothing I do seems to work..."
Suddenly, Knuckles re-emerges from near Super Cyber Safi'jiiva's legs, furiously trying to bash at its legs in an attempt to shatters one of its legs.
In the year 202X, all is devastation... Soon, any last shred of hope had by the saintliest optimist shall die and decay.

Hi-...... I'm not drunk anymore
The dragon approach a nearby conveniently scene-devoid city, namely Helgen, and shrinks, though not by that much since his human form is still titanic, and his landing cause quite a bit of collateral damage, blowing away some houses entirely as he makes a strong first impression.
The dragon's human form is still massive, taking the form of a towering tan-skinned "human" with a long pair of horns and an impressive long mustache. His impressive muscles, comparable to a certain Thor's own fierce body, would certainly intimidate the nearest soul, as does the tattoos that he proudly exhibit by virtue of not wearing a shirt, but a coat over his shoulders.
Eerily enough he has a massive cross-shaped scar on the right side of his belly, and a massive spiked mace.
I need to find me a drink. He contemplates, gritting his teeth, and advancing across Helgen. ... Not like there's anything worthwhile in these houses TO BE FOUND! He yell, before smashing one house wide open with a downward blow with his fist.

Ben blinks in surprise when Link snatches the shard away before it can reach his hand. Once the latter finishes explaining who he is, the young Jedi speaks up.
"What exactly, may I ask, does anything you just said have to do with this shard?"

Oh! I've found something in my scripture. We can summon the giant bookworm: he can eat any book, even the magic ones. But we need your help too. Where we can find the book?
Laxin, Sith Emperor
"And that beast is floating above Onyxis within Laxin's reach? Surely you must recognize how dangerous that is. Can you communicate with these entities?"
Zeloai's voice carried heavy concern, the Jedi Master not even caring to comment on the sleight of hand the hero demonstrated. He lowered his head for a brief moment, sighing deeply.
"The last thing we need is Laxin's army to be immune, we're already fighting an uphill battle."

Link shrugs. 'Cuz the dragon that fell from is also from his world, duh.
- What?
- Explain, please.
- Liar!
Raeii raises a hand, seemingly attempting to mind trick Link. "Tell us all you know about the dragon."
- Yes
-
NoYes
- Yes
- No
As Link explains, the dragon's name is Naydra, and it's one of three dragons like itself - the other two being Dinraal, of fire, and Farosh, of lightning. Each one corresponds to a goddess and has the power to back it up. Naydra is Nayru, the goddess of wisdom. Dinraal is Din, the goddess of power. Farosh is Farore, the goddess of courage. They don't do anything, just flying around where they please, but they give parts of themselves to worthy travelers who happen to shoot at them, as a strange sort of blessing.
Link doesn't know what happens if the unworthy shoot at the dragons, but it's safe to assume they won't let themselves fall to the wicked.
Elsewhere...
"Detestable. Utterly despicable. That a being of darkness, such as Laxin, would stoop so low as to devour his allies in the dark for his own gain."
"It is the way of the Sith, dear. There are always two - a master and his pupil - and all others who would seek that title must be put in their place. If they are stronger, the master must do all that is within his power to surpass them."
"... This chamber has no place for mere cutthroats such as yourselves."
"He's gearing up for war."
Laxin, Sith Emperor
"I'm not merely worried about the dragon being slain or attacked, I am worried of its mind being bent and will broken. One could only hope these goddesses can resist such tactics."
Zeloai turned around, Izawano quietly walking up to the group. The two lock eyes for a brief moment, sharing a private exchange.
Men have regrets
"This all sounds like some kind of Nightsister legend," Ben muses. "Why do you think these creatures have decided to come here, of all places?"
He sits down upon one of the benches near the tavern's fire pit, and greets Izawano with a wave.
"If all they do is traverse the skies to their liking, I imagine it's safe to rule out the possibility of them wanting to deal with the Sith presence."

Link taps his chin. If you guys missed the tournament earlier, they were contacted with weird technology from another world and invited here to be setpieces for that. Seems they didn't find their way home.
The Master Sword suddenly starts glowing and humming, drawing its wielder outside. And Link follows.
Raeii clutches his head as a throbbing pain fills his senses - the presence of a Sith like none he's felt before.

Whiterun, Outdoors
"No, Maleficent! You can't do this! You mustn't!"
Chancellor Palpatine is ejected from a Corridor of Darkness.
He pulls himself up and sees Link, quickly putting his hands behind his back. "Ah, good day to you."
Link raises the Master Sword, which glows intensely in his direction.
Palpatine slips his lightsaber into his hands. "I seem to have been caught. Ah, well. Are you going to fight me?"
- You bet!
- On second thought...
"Well, then..."
Palpatine screams like a banshee to stun Link and leaps forth, then reveals his lightsaber blade-first with a flying slash!

"With that liability out of our hands, it is time to focus on... other things." Maleficent closes the portal with a sinister laugh.

Kaido just open his maw widely and NOM the entire battle. He then briefly freeze, as if wondering why Majima would insult him, before deciding that it didn't matter. If anything, he could at least respect the ballsiness of that man.
ANOTHER! He yell.

Hillgrund's Tomb, Skyrim
A cloaked being is wandering around the area, seemingly pondering about something.
In the year 202X, all is devastation... Soon, any last shred of hope had by the saintliest optimist shall die and decay.
Bolting to his feet at the sound of the commotion outside, Ben removes his lightsaber from his belt and hurries out of the tavern, sensing a great disturbance in the Force. Upon realizing that the seemingly mild-mannered, amiable politician he'd met in Riften was the immensely powerful Sith he and Anakin had been tracking, the young Jedi freezes up, his expression one of unbridled horror.
"Senator Palpatine... you were the Sith Lord I sensed?!"

Well then. How closer we can get to the book? We could summon the giant bookworm near.
Maybe we can't destroy the book... but surely we can search for somebody that can do it in the Arena. Meanwhile, I'll search in my scripture for an answer.
