Nesley stares and blinks for a moment.
"Uhhh... what?", he asks, tilting his head a little.
In the year 202X, all is devastation... Soon, any last shred of hope had by the saintliest optimist shall die and decay.

"Thaaaat's right~" Rat God snaps her fingers.
<You know each other?>
"No. But he knows me from somewhere and I know who he is, so it might as well be a rematch! How about you, little rat?"
<Oh you know I'm not gonna let your mischief slide if I can do anything about it! It'll be two against one!>
"Heehee, sure thing!"
「⋯日本語を分からない、」 Rhea says, turning away. (... He doesn't understand Japanese.)
She pulls out a Poké Ball and gives it a toss, releasing a Stantler which projects a psychic force to create a telepathic link to Nesley.
「今、分かる？」 (Do you understand right now?)
If it worked, the answer should be yes.
Callis rubs her neck. "I was kind of an idiot too, Thor. I didn't stop to explain my reasoning, and... well, you're right about Middler being unreliable at best."
She then points at him. "But I refuse to believe my idea to beat the anger out of her if she turns back into Navitus was completely invalid. Those corrupted by Void Termina, then Galeem and Dharkon's puppets, were saved by fighting them too. We should at least keep it in mind."
Vague Estraole
What Once Was Lost - Halo: Combat Evolved
A dormant volcano lies covered in a purple-y Alien Kudzu, from which various organic structures sprout, hanging loosely. Two Zerglings are thrashing around, biting each other and swiping with their claws.
One of them rips the other's throat out, and immediately, the Marker activates. Within seconds, the slain Zergling explodes into a Necromorph, even more an abomination of flesh than before.
Within a few more seconds, the underground Zerg hive descends into chaos as Necromorphs begin overtaking and assimilating the Zerg... only for eerie, voiceless whispers to suddenly slither in, accompanied by a deep, guttural speech.
Foolish quarrels from primitive races. Unity is an answer, not a question. Within this fortress...
Flood Infection Forms suddenly swarm into the room, accompanied by the Spartan-IV Combat Form. They start infesting various Necromorph'd Zerg, taking control of them away from the Necromorph hive mind. Instead of quarreling, though, they stand between the still-living Zerg and the Necromorphs, forcing a tense standoff.
Together, we shall construct... our bastion.
A new voice, equally as low and booming, joins. Yes... This will make us whole again. Show us what you can do.
"Aren't you forgetting someone?" chimes in a third voice, this one much more human, and feminine. "You're not using my Swarm as your toys. We work together, or alone."
Of course...
"He's gearing up for war."

it's hunting season
Somewhere
Laughter echoes from above the clouds, a silhouette of a flying pirate ship's hull made clear as it lurks from above, unmoving.
"Captain. You've dropped an unrestricted white cube."
"Don' worry 'bout it, we got plenty where 'at came from thanks to a certain blue feller we got a few weeks ago."
From the sky a white cube drops down next to Eleven. Instructions on a side which hint that it will morph to anything she wills and copy non-magical weapons to a T.
"Don't need this flimsy junk too"
"Your loss..."
William's entire face is re-taped shut again.
Conveniently an innocuous glasstic sword drop down next to it, already cracked from impact. No fancy writing but it's energy leeching capabilities will be clear once given power.
The ship lurks above however, their captain wanting to see something happen to the junk before departure.

The Priest
Seresthene could hear Asher being lifted above the Draugr King's mouth.
She wanted to help him, as thanks for him saving her, but was soon reminded that she was here for herself and only herself.
And, also, skeletons.
Seresthene gritted her teeth, realizing this issue must be dealt with quickly. She threw a chain outwards at the greatsword she saw lodged in the Draugr King’s leg, wrapping around the handle. She used it to propel herself up and over the skeletons torpedoing towards her, turning around upon landing. The woman waited for it to become brimming with energy once more, and yanked it out before it could regulate it. She swung the chain and, to that extent, the sword, in a wide berth before her, aiming to fuck up the skeletons good.

Miles above Estraole
"Has there been any progress?"
The voice on the massive monitor boomed a question, echoing throughout the room. The four men and two women sitting at the table shook their heads, looking at their CEO.
"Besides what appears to be infighting? Very little, sir." One of the women stood and spoke. She wore a business suit, black and white with an emblem stitched into the breast, like every other man and woman in the room.
"I see. Continue monitoring the volcano. If a threat arises, I want us to be there to stop it. Something like this could boost our sales enormously." The silhouette on the screen spoke. "In the meantime, how is progress coming along with the Tenno?"
"He's…adjusting. I think he'll like it here, though.”
“Good. If we are to interact with the anomaly below, put him at the front lines. I want to see just how skilled he is.”
“Yes, sir. Will that be all?” She asked. Without another word, the screen went entirely blank, as the Employer signed off. “…Right…” She sighed, readjusting her collar. The woman looked to one of the human guards by the door. “Go. Get Arad and bring him here.”
The guard nodded and exited, as she walked over to the window and looked out over Estraole below, the massive spacecraft miles above the landmass known as the Arena.
“The rest of you may leave now.” She cleared her throat, looking at her fellow directors in the reflection of the glass. Most of them murmered or nodded, but a few were silent as all five of their hyperrealistic holographs disappeared. The Estraole division was hers, and if fighting were to break out, she would be making the decisions.

The Zerg Hero Units stare at their Library invitations and promptly rip them apart.
"Wisdom is irrelevant. Wealth is irrelevant. Honor is irrelevant. Only power matters."
"Exactly. And speaking of that - Abathur, you found something we can use?"
Omega
"Swarm-Queen — new allies. Highly biodiverse species; essence-eaters, not unlike Zerg."
Abathur crawled in — and alongside him, the new and improved Distraction Carnifex stomped slowly. A new, calculating intellect shone out of its bestial eyes. This was no longer a mere ravening beast — this was a Synapse Organism, a node of commanding intelligence within a strange, new, modified Hive Fleet.
"One of many. Species-strain self-identifies as 'Hive Fleet Ymir'. Related organisms currently circling overhead."

Vague Estraole - Crashed Imperial Research Cruiser
Smoke and flames billow high from the crash site, the ground torn and upset. Excess fuel that hadn't exploded leaked into a nearby lake, corroding the water into a jet-black stream. The Empire is well aware of this crash, however, and has sprung into action.
Dozens of War droids
◊ encompass the entire area around the ship, along with large clumps of Imperial infantry clumped up behind barricades. Training their blasters on the wreck, ready to annihilate what lies inside.
Inside the Wreck
A squad of Heavy Infantry
◊ meander through the wreck, blasters raised. Although in their midst is several members of THORN
◊.
Shortly behind them is none other than Laxin himself, his eyes scanning the inside of the wreck. Seeing him arrive, one of the THORN members breaks from the group, walking to the sith and raising a datapad to his face.
"So the reports were correct then, you've been experimenting on Rakghouls. THORN already has enough problems keeping their outbreaks contained, why did you think the Empire could do any different?"
Laxin grumbles to himself, "You are not here to scold me representative, you are here to find out where my subjects have gone, and deal with them. The credits you've received should be more than satisfactory to cover any damages, and the Empire will provide the manpower that you lack."
Looking at the datapad, the dark lord grasps it and begins to examine it.
"Well, whatever it is you've done to them, they're acting completely erratic to what we know about their behavior. They're gone — all of them, including whatever poor souls they infected rather than devouring."
Laxin and the group continue forward, his gaze briefly darting to a side room with a mangled corpse, blood having spattered across the walls. Even he is slightly revolted by the sight of the brutal animalistic slaughter of this ship's crew, reaffixing his gaze to the datapad.
"This datapad indicates you've completely lost them, so why have you called me here? I made it abundantly clear that unless it were important-"
The group finally happened upon the remains of the bridge, a near-broken holo terminal flickering to life, prompting Laxin's sudden silence. An Imperial Soldier appears, hoisting a blaster rifle up with one hand, assumedly attempting to use the distress beacon.
"They broke out, crazed—-"
The recording flickers out briefly, roaring back to life a few moments later
"Flew by a volca-"
Another flickering,
"Monsters went wild, we're going dow-"
The holo terminal deactivates. The THORN representative who had spoken to Laxin prior turns to face him again.
"You're the only one with the proper authorization to fully unlock these logs, and we need to piece this final transmission back together if we're to find out where the Rakghouls went."
Laxin sighs, moving past the rest of the group to the near-broken terminal.
Volcanic Hive
Thousands of Rakghouls screech, their hungered cries echoing for miles, rushing forward toward the Volcanic Hive. The creatures seek their 'leader' so to speak, and they can hear its echoed cries from within the Volcano now before them. Throwing themselves at at the hard rock, thousands of these zombie-like creatures attempt to carve their way in by any means necessary.
Eroding their flesh and bone in wild attempts to enter the volcano, they suddenly find themselves stopping entirely. Something is beckoning them, a voice, a song. Many voices, but they do not listen. That was until the howl of an Eyeless reaches their ears, and they listen.
Moving now with synchronous and controlled steps, they slowly begin to shuffle in through the top of the dormant volcano, climbing the volcanic rock. One after another reach the top, and funnel into the organic matter that poured out of the mouth. Sinking into what lies within, the Rakghouls disappear, their hungered cries falling silent.

Eleven looks at the cube with neat instructions on it and a glassy sword appearing right next to her from the sky. She blinks once and look up to see Brightbeard's ship passing above.
Wow I've got some fat luck today, I guess, she smiles and pick up both weapons. But I've gotta try these out first!

Enforcer is just here. Must be his day off.
"IT IS A GOOD DAY TO BE OFF OF WORK! ALAS, SHOULD MY OTHERSELF NOT BE ON PROBATION FOR VIOLATING PROTOCOL, I COULD SHARE THIS MEAL WITH HIM."
That is a rat on a stick.
"Skadep!" Let's go, bro! he says, snapping his arm to cause a microphone to just slide out of his sleeve and into his hand.

He waits for Rat God to make the first move.

Thor simply nods in response as he puts his weapons away.
"I know. Should it ultimately come to that, I'll be prepared to fight while hoping that you're proven correct. While we went our separate ways, though, I realized that I might have exactly what we need to deal with the artifacts and maybe even prevent such an outcome from coming to pass," he replies. "But before I explain, there's something I want to say first."
He places a hand on Callis' shoulder and looks her in the eye.
"I forgive you for that argument, Callis, and I truly am sorry for how poorly I handled it."
Then he opens his arms, offering a reconciliatory hug.

Nesley looks rather surprised by the strange deer that the girl summoned. And he’s even more surprised when it creates a telepathic link between them, now letting him understand Rhea.
“Uh… yeah, I do. Wow, does your deer have some advanced form of telepathy? Because that doesn’t usually let you understand foreign languages.”
Volcanic Hive
One of Andropov’s crystals is flying over the dormant volcano. It can’t sense what’s happening underground though, so Andropov doesn’t notice anything alarming about the situation yet.
One of Hub’s clones is hanging around the base as well, though he’s not paying much attention to anything.

"Why thank you."
Rat God conjures a mic, holds it to her face, takes a deep breath, and...
Mad Rat tries to sing back and instantly pops like a balloon.

Callis accepts the hug. "I forgive you, and am sorry, too. It's all good."
Player 2
"Well, that was fun. Wonder what to do next." Back in control of the Gravitas SA-X, Player 2 watches his computer screen.
NEW OBJECTIVE
"Simple enough, Gravitas warp pad right there..."
OBJECTIVE UPDATE
"Man, I hate obscure instructions." Going to an overhead view, Player 2 scrolls all around Estraole until he sees it. The volcano, covered in meat and purple goop, tentacles and blades and all sorts of nasty stuff sticking out of it.
"Well that's ominous. Do I go there?"
Suddenly, an objective marker appears on that point. Player 2 smirks. "I see where this is going," he remarks, "and I'm into it."
He alt-tabs to message the Player. boutta start some shiiiiiit, you down to watch?
Psyco
Player 1's answer comes in pretty fast.
Yeah sure. What game are you breaking this time?
... wait, don't tell me you're talking about...
KiriK
i am. found a whole bunch of writhing gross fleshy stuff. gonna try and assume direct control, wish me luck.
He quickly tabs back to the "game," then back to the Player. they got zerg, they got the flood, they even got rakghouls from star wars games!
Psyco
You REALLY shouldn't do this, you're playing with fire. Trust me, I know firsthand what'll happen when things go wrong.
KiriK
I already know things are gonna go wrong. I just don't care.
Player 2 proceeds to the objective marker.

The SA-X wanders upon the site of the volcano. Briefly retaking control from Player 2, it clenches up and explodes into a swarm of X Parasites, which dive directly into the Meat Moss and emerge as mutated Metroid enemies, along with one fresh SA-X.

Space Fortress Gravitas
"Lord Narktus... You'll want to see this."
"Oh what the FUCK."

He presses the A key on a keyboard, and every single Zerg, Necromorph, Flood form, Tyranid, Rakghoul and X Parasite present is highlighted.
I can try and guide them towards a defeat, ensuring the world's safety. Having fun waging war with famous fictional characters is just a bonus.

The Queen of Blades notices a peculiar sensation. "Does anyone else feel that? That sense of a... 'commanding presence'?"
It is our machination, declares the Gravemind. No matter how much our bodies merge, our minds will never fight in sync.
The Necromorph hivemind chimes in, There will be a battle. There is no way we will consume this world without a fight. To this end, we have... outsourced help... from one who is well-versed in directly commanding an army, with a thirst to wreak havoc. As we reach out to his mind, nudge him, guide him, he will bring us victory... and then he will join us.

Despite not being aware of a threat yet she seems to have picked up that something will be there. And so does a tall and gnarled figure, his bulky brown robes badly concealing a tall and ganly frame, with a face with more horns than it would need. The figure hangs back for now, overlooking the situation from a cliff instead of being down there.
Blood is in the air, be it of mortals, of gods or of mere creatures... Foolishness. But battles are meant to sort out these war-thirsty simpletons. May they have the violent death they so happily run after.

Minira, Estraole
"That's cool, Ms. Belén. Just one small problem. I don't care." The Fall Vessel leans down to a straw and takes a sip of milkshake, only for an earthquake to jerk the straw right into the back of her throat, making her gag before she rips it out as the Fall Reincarnation laughs at her. "Who dares?!"
She looks out a window to see...
"Oh... That does not look good."
"You don't say," says the Fall Reincarnation, also looking out the window.
"Oh boy, what now?" The employee vaults over the counter and runs up to check.
"... What the f-"
Devils... Monsters - Halo: Combat Evolved
These nasty little tentacle demons swarm down the mountainside and make a beeline for the largest spot of civilization in Estraole, the capital city of Minira. The first unfortunate human civilian to run afoul of them gets jumped on by numerous Infection Forms at once. In the commotion, one manages to dig its red-feeler-covered tentacles into the poor man's skin and connects to the spinal column, from where it seizes the nervous system and forces a total collapse.
The remaining Infection Forms scatter as the successful individual burrows into the chest cavity, rewriting its victim inside-out on a neural and even genetic level. Forced to snap his own neck, the host properly dies as his insides are melted down into raw biomatter, and what remains explodes into a malformed, tumorous mass with its own calcified intestines forming a large whip-like claw on its left arm.
Such is the fate of 80% of the current NPC population of Minira, now a warzone covered in Meat Moss and swarming with both Infection Forms and the newly-made Combat Forms.
Among them walks one Combat Form with no inhabiting Infection Form. A direct product of the Gravemind, which rushes through the area at blinding speed, impaling and ripping apart survivors with a crab-like claw that might have once been its right hand. It's the only major recurring Flood representative in my roster, to boot.
The monsters are ignoring the McDonald's for now, but there's no telling how long that'll last.
"I can feel... I can taste so much fear..." The employee grins. "I haven't felt this strong in my whole life. Watch out, world - Sadao Maou's reign lives!"
His McDonald's employee attire disappears in a burst of energy, replaced by appropriately royal-looking clothes for what he truly is. He grows taller, bulkier, becoming a match in muscles for the mighty GW!Thor himself. A pair of horns sprouts from his head.
"Oh, bravo." The Fall Reincarnation claps sarcastically. "The Demon King's true form emerges. And what will you do now?"
He clenches a fist and declares, "I'm gonna paint the town red with these freaks!"
"... Okay, then."

"Run, little worms. The Swarm descends. And no matter how useless you are in a fight... you will always be food."
Chittering, skittering bodies full of gnashing teeth and deadly limbs swarm into a valley and raze the villages within to the ground. Not even bones are left of their victims. This is the true definition of a Zerg Rush - just an unfathomable number of Zerglings and Tyranid hormagaunts.
But that's not the limit. Two forms, much larger and more refined in structure, ride the tidal wave of shrieking monsters.

Grass decays and is replaced by huge flowers with teeth. Trees break down into ent-like monstrosities. A poor deer gets caught in the mayhem and transforms into a bipedal skull-headed monster,
◊ which screeches to the sky as all life in the area is consumed in a flood of colorful jelly, replaced by twisted abomination versions of itself. The ground itself is blanketed in a thick, sticky layer of black stuff whose nature is probably best left unknown, but more X Parasites continue to fly in and out of it, making more deer-monsters from nothing.
Also present are Torxetil, Crux (Darius-X), and Katarina-X, but they are not allied with their kin. Rather, they are going three-versus-one against none other than the SA-X.
Katarina-X throws a pair of daggers, impaling the SA-X's feet to the ground. Crux leaps into the air and splits it in half with Noxian Guillotine. The moment its Core-X form emerges, Torxetil rockets forward with a lightning-infused punch to send it flying across the landscape. However, it dips into the black stuff coating the ground and emerges as a fully-refreshed SA-X, even pumping an arm as if taunting them.

"As I told Loki, Galeem's light is purifying. It's also a light that I've been carrying with me ever since that fateful trip we made to Nidavellir."
He brings out Stormbringer and taps his finger against the Galeem shard glimmering in the axe's handle.
"I believe this shard might be able to purify the Navitus energy contained within the artifacts. Should I be proven wrong, however, we can always turn to my friend Wanda Maximoff and her newfound power. Do you think either option could work, Callis?"

Luffy sees this shit going down and doesn't like what he's seeing; Opening his mouth wide and extending his arm, he gobbles up his food to fully recharge his battery for the fight and crack his neck, witnessing the demon king's ascension. He doesn't appear that confused after the King proves to be on their side.
Aight! I'm going to kick their asses! Even if they have two or more of them! Luffy daringly jumps into battle by jumping out of the window and throwing his arms back. Once distant enough from the Mc Donalds, he enlarges his hands until they're the size of houses each, cover them in Haki, and launch them forward at the enemy, intending to tear through swathes of the enemy.
GOMU GOMU NO GRIZZLY MAGNUM!
Once done, Luffy begins running to the left to cover for fleeing civilians and retract his massive (and now entirely haki-coated) arms back for another devasting sweep of the area until his fists are back by his side.

Unkown Valley, Estraole
A massive tower of lightning sweeps across the battlefield diagonally, attempting to carve a clean scar through the world to form a line in between the soil and the rest of the Zerg. Seconds later, Mjolnir itself is thrown to the ground at the thickest concentration of Zerg, smashing into it with expected fracas.
Thor descends from the sky, calling Mjolnir back to him and casting a shockwave upon catching it. He looks defiantly at the mass below.
I WILL TRY TO SEND YOU BACK TO YOUR MOMMAS IN RECOGNIZABLE CHUNKS EACH, ABOMINATIONS! He smiles.
Margit raises a toothy eyebrow, apparently unimpressed with Thor. A most irritable one already... but his enemies, Margit frowns. Whelps from the Void. To wage war upon them is a righteous deed...
He shifts around, as if preparing to jump in.

Estraolian Wilderness
Lastly, Eleven is running around, attempting to smash her way through the deers and flowers. She uses her spatial powers to float over ground, if nothing else, and has made an alternate version of herself appear. A sort of purple Hard Light clone, which strikes right after Eleven for more damage or in case she missed.
She's heading right for the SA-X though. Gross! Fuck off with that infection bullshit!

A Large towering structure suddenly appears at one side of the valley. This Tower is the library, which has relocated. Out of the entrance, Two squads arrive. One of which being roland's team, the other of which being angela's, each featuring the respective leader, and four librarians.
Angela sighs, opening a book, before saying "It appears that our invitation was rejected. Perhaps it is time to give our potential guests a taste of what is possible within our walls?"
Roland, drawing durandal, nods, saying "Seems we're mixing things up a bit this time. Then again, Nobody's ripped up your invitations before... Let's give the others time to prepare."
The Librarians form a defensive perimiter around the library, Attempting to fend off the incoming zerg rush.
Minira
The Training excersise in Minira is cut short by the incoming flood, as the infection forms begin to spread the flood... Only to quickly get a swarm of bullets unloaded into them by a squad led by Prince marth the fifth.
"What in grima's accursed arse is this? Everyone, Hold the line! This is no longer a training mission! If you can, get to your vehicles, if you're not vehicle trained, pick up a rifle and help hold the line!"
Vincent helps mar by backing him up with some spellcasting.
Homura, in the meanwhile, stands atop a building, seperated from madoka, who ran off. She prepares some artillery, and begins to flash in and out of frozen time to prepare to adjust their trajectory.

Samus arrives on scene, firing off some long beam shots at X parasite forms. What a shame to be one at this time, as she runs into the fray.
Madoka, Getting involved in the current fight, Fires off a few arrows into the fray.
Zero runs in as well, slicing at the strange lifeforms...
"Right. Even if it fails, at least we'll still have both the contingency plan and Amaterasu to rely on. I wouldn't be surprised if she had any means of neutralizing the energy," Thor says, putting Stormbringer away once more. "Although, maybe Navitus' light isn't the only thing the artifacts' power consists of."
He leans back against the pillar.
"Recently, I've been wondering if, like Lucas or the victims of a being called Tenebris, Iris might have been corrupted or influenced by an outside force the day she forged those artifacts. She was angry, yes, but she didn't want to burn her realm to cinders or snuff out innocent lives. All she wanted was revenge on those who looked down on her. Someone with abilities like Mara or Tenebris' could've taken advantage of her emotional state, hence why Navitus energy is the way it is."

Miles above Estraole.
She sighed, observing the storm cloud rolling in below her, obscuring her view of the landscape.
Just a few moments after, a sound grabs her attention-The continous, rapid and frenetic beeping that signified an alarm. She turned around, the long table she had just been sitting at becoming a war table, displaying a holographic map of Estraole, and a flashing red light in a single location signifying an attack on one of their warehouses
Nothing much to be concerned about, she was sure. It wasn't uncommon for an outpost to be attacked by a few assholes who think they're tough. She just sends reinforcements and mercilessly wipes the floor with whatever cocky bastard decided to try and steal their tech that day. The woman assumed it was nothing much.
But then another alarm was set, all the way on the other side of Estraole.
And another.
And. Another.
In the few seconds it took for her to cross the room and get to the war table, almost every single outpost in the area was blaring red, the only ones still unaffected being the warehouses, deep underneath the surface and in the mountains. The cloaking device around their Base of Operations seemed to still be up, meaning they had not yet found the massive tower, but the woman knew not how long that would last.
Jennifer Margia gasped, lifting her hands to her head. “Shit!” She shouted, sitting down and quickly typing away at a keyboard. Almost every machine currently on the surface of Estraole was mobilized, although there were very few still remaining. As such, she organized an aerial drop, klaxons blaring throughout the ship as the hangar gates opened.
During the mass désembarquement, the mechanical doors to the room slid open. Jennifer jumped, almost reaching for her gun, before remembering that their sky fortress was nigh impenetrable, and seeing it was just the guard with Arad.
“What’s going on down there?” The Tenno asked almost immediately, walking over to the War Table. He dressed in a black Grandnova training outfit, one that looked vaguely like a slim-fitted gi.
“Your first assignment.” She answered, before clearing her throat and speaking with authority. “You are to aid in the liberation process of Estraole’s capital city, Minira, alongside our Skull Squadron. A few of the locals have arrived to help fight off the enemies, you will work alongside them.”
“Who are the enemies?”
“You’ll know when you see them. Any more questions?”
“No, ma’am.”
“Good. Then go link up with one of your Warframes and-"
“Transfer, ma’am.” Arad corrected.
“I’m sorry?”
“We transfer into our Warframes. Transference. It's a whole different thing.”
“…Right. Well, do whatever your thing is. We will be watching to rate your performance.”
Arad smiled, turning to leave the room. “I won’t let you down, ma’am.”

Unnamed Valley, Estraole
Is where all of the dropped units land, every single one of them attempting to quell the swarm with their incredible firepower.
——
Minara, Estraole
Death's Crimson Maiden, Garuda, arrives with her signature weapon, the Nagantaka. She creates a small crater with her superhero landing, claws outstretched, as she immediately begins ripping and tearing through any of the disgusting bastards she could find.
Behind her appeared the Skull Squadron, the ragtag group of super soldiers and misfits using their high-power rifles and chainsaw swords to make their way through the enemy hordes, while also seeking out any living civilians to protect them and bring them to extraction points outside of the city.
Explora Colores
Minira, Estraole
Belén laughs a bit when Grima is gagging, but then her expression became more serious when she looked at the window:
It can't be happening in my free time... Time to call the Alliance.
Then, she goes to the service counter:
Hey, if there are other employees, I want to order a lot of burgers and soda. Yes, It's to take off.
Not mattering if she got her burgers or not, she does the call afterwards.
...
Shortly after, the Tic-Tac-Toe Alliance: Hatch, Croix and Nough; the Ta-Te-Ti triplets, the ABC's (along with Clarilú, Pipo, Roco and Loli), and the Faux!Pica-Pica arrives into the scene.
Also, Emi and Nacho arrives too, entering into the McDonald's.
PICA-POWER!!
The trio takes their super-heroic identities, and joins the fray.
Roco, Ice beam!
Pipo orders the snail to fire an ice beam at the demons. Everybody else are on guard.
Valley
The Insect Ladies arrive to the place.
Holy crap, I never thought it was so ugly... Mukade, you know what to do.
Mukade uses her own vital energy to reach Dynamax state, and she uses her long tail to sweep the battlefield.
Dynamax turns: 1/3
...
The Bee Empress arrives with her army. They wriggle their hands and...
WE'LL WIN!
All of their allies' stats rise a bit. The vegetables jumps around, while the Empress sends her bees to sting the enemies.
Wilderness
Enzo, The Vanilla Gang, and the Nature's Guardians arrived into the place.
They are looking like zombies!
I wonder if they are weak to music?
The Gang, Super Pamp and Super Love start to play music, both for rise their allies' stats and to explore the parasites' weaknesses.

it's hunting season
Annihilation Nergigante
Reiss, completely disoriented from the tremor, is pelted by the sharpened bone, despite still able to hold on the damage received was marginally noticeable at worst. Afterwards he dashes away to get his head in the game again, barely avoiding the spikes while still dizzy. Watching Luin and the Nergi duke it out.
"Well then, damnit-"
Seeing Luin and the Rathian in trouble he does a vanishing sprint as the slam is occurring to get Luin out of harms way. If she was really there he'd put her relatively close to Lutemis and a hopeful blindspot of the Nergi. Otherwise he runs up and onto the arm, carefully using the spikes as a platform before trying to kick and slash his face.
Draugr
Asher lets out an audible gulp the moment his only weapon is broken in half. Frozen in sheer utter confusion and fear he's picked up as he loudly yells for dear life whilst looking down on the demise-mouth.
"BONES KA LANG PAANO MO KO KAIN... NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN"
"YOU'RE JUST BONES HOW ARE YOU SUPPOSED TO EAT ME"
The moment he looks down the damned soul are visible, causing him to panic even more and despite being not much of a religious person he makes a sign of the cross in the midst of this because you can't be too sure if God is real or not when you're about to die.
If Seresthene's attempt works and assuming he's dropped down, he'll run away to the treasure pile to see if there's anything of use and value there.

[PASIO]
Minira
On opposite sides of the city, two units enter the battle!
"To the void with you, mutant scum!" Suzumiya shouts, attempting to slice a random Necromorph in twain with her sword, before spinning to cleave the area around herself.
"HUAGH!"
-
Meanwhile GUSTAVE explodes out of building in a pimped-out semitruck with monster wheels, swerves onto a main road leaving some skid marks, and tries to just barrel over as many Necromorphs and flood fuckers as he possibly can. His lead his hanging out the window, smoking his epic cigar.

Unnamed Valley
A certain thematically-appropriate duo seems nonplussed at the activity going on.
"This... 'sout of mah normal skillset, m'lawd."
"THESE ARE ENEMIES OF THE IMPERIUM!" her boss/babysittee, Karstodes, shouts. "I shall introduce their faces to the ground in a most UNSEXY manner!"
He picks up some BIG ROCKS to throw at the rush! Kyoko, for her part, sighs and climbs up into Ophelia before just fuckin Gatling gun go brrr.
—
Estraolian Wilderness
Enforcer seems startled by the sudden wave of black shit goop going everywhere.
"WHAT?! HAVE I BEEN ROOTED OUT BY THE HORDES OF HOME?!"
Taking a sniff, he determines that no, he has not. This stuff is different. ... Mortal. Shaking his leg to dislodge some of the goop, he belches before scorching and clearing the area immediately around himself with a torrent of hellflame, before following it up with a vurp of his brand of black infectious goop to try and claim at least this small radius of land.
-
Xoeur dives out of the stratosphere with a sonic boom, and tries to plow the SA-X over the ground with a knee strike from above!
Meanwhile, Oxa just sort of pops into existence by the other X-Clones, Xeru in his arms.
"Hey, guys. Sister."
Volcanic Hive
You wanted someone stupid? Here you go.
ZJ peers up from I don't know behind a rock, at all the 'stinky meats'. He seems curious, tilting his head as they go about their nothing.
"Bwab..."
Quickly, the little monkey machine scuttles over the rock and towards the entrance.
:|
Fuck, it's this song. God damn it.
...
"Brop...?"
In an incredible leap of brilliance which we mere mortals could never hope to comprehend, he figures that it will work out totally fine when he does it, though.
"... Bee-!*pop*.
Little boyfriend bits go everywhere.

Unknown Valley, Estraole
A female figure wearing a green tailcoat, with dragonfly wings and short antennae on her forehead, surveys the battlefield and the countless swarming Zerg.
"Good grief. Never thought I'd be fighting on the side of the meatbags against creatures so similar to my kin, but... I guess I owe the dorks one. Besides, if these things overrun everything, there won't be much of an ecosystem left!"
"WELL WELL WELL! IS MISS WIGGLE REALLY BACK IN ACTION? AND SO SOON AFTER I BROKE HER HEART! WHAT FUN!"
"You. Shut. Fuck."
Clashing Swarms (Miracle Matter)
Swirling vortices of bugs begin spawning on the valley. Enormous beetles, built like tanks and armed with razor-sharp claws, mandibles and rhinoceros-like horns, begin emerging from them, rushing the army of Zergs, backed by preying mantises of decidedly unusual size. Frailer but more agile and capable of amputating limbs and severing necks with ease with their reaper-like scythe limbs, these mean green assassins will use the chaos left in the wake of the larger beetles' wild charge to pick off surviving foes. Much like the Zerg themselves, these oversized insects all seem to act as a coordinated army, their commander hovering over the field, surveying the situation.

King of the Monsters
Psyco
"Huh, that's a Pokemon? I don't remember if I ever saw any for myself during my time here."
He shrugs.
"Anyhow, why were you hanging upside down from the cave entrance?"
"Oh shit. There's some kind of weird X outbreak in Estraole!", Andropov says, getting Hub's attention. He saunters on over to the main crystal that Andropov is seeing through.
"X, huh? Maybe something entertaining will happen now."
"I should probably warn everyone out on the field.", Andropov says as he fiddles with his scouter communicator. Hub just shrugs and continues watching for now, but starts looking confused when more varied monstrosities start emerging.
"What the hell? Those things aren't X."
"Yeah, I noticed.", Andropov nervously says as he tries to make contact with Cyber.
Pseudo's Base
Weber lets out a shiver of dark delight. It catches Pilly's attention.
"What was that? Are you cold?"
"Cold? Hah, that's funny." , Weber chuckles eerily. "No, I just sensed that something horrifying is happening outside."
"Something horrifying?", Pseudo asks. "... do you know where?"
"Somewhere at the volcanic area. I can't quite pinpoint the exact location."
"Hm... then I suppose we should take a look.", Pseudo says as he redirects the monitor from its normal path.
Vague Skyrim
From all the way in Skyrim, someone else also senses what's going on. ... or, rather, the large influx of eldritch power that just appeared."What's this now? That doesn't feel like anything I've ever sensed before." , Perfect Cell says, crossing his arms as he floats in the sky. He grins eagerly.
"Whatever they are, I don't even need to feel their power level to know how utterly twisted and eldritch their Ki is."
He spreads his arms, balls his fists and flies off towards Estraole, headed towards the Volcanic Hive specifically.
"I'd be a fool to sit this one out! I'll show this world the true power of my perfection!"

"He's gearing up for war."
Boyfriend just stares at her for a moment. Who is this again?
"..."
Oh, right!
"Ska dep?" Rat God? He rubs his chin. "Ba, deda skabidop. Beep?" I mean, you're not wrong. You want a rematch?
also once again he just assumes that this is the same one from his own homeworld
