Outside Grocery Store

Well, he wasn't responding to the healing in the slightest, so it was safe to guess that Phillip was dead. Unfortunate, but there wasn't much she could have done earlier that wouldn't have put everyone else in jeopardy. And Lewis was...still bleeding? What kind of life draining spell was that? Maybe a poison?

"We need to make sure that mech is dead and then get to the Library. We're going to need some supplies if we can't just reappear after death today," Makoto answered Lewis. "Maybe you should...sit down and try not to bleed out. Maybe we can salvage something from the store too." Food would be nice, if it wasn't all riddled with bullets by now. She looked up at Rose. "Oh, you want to take him with us? Maybe Miss Tairee can help him out. Let me get his radio first though." Makoto grabbed the device off of Phillip's body just as an explosion came from the store, followed by more bullets. "...Um, I hope that was the mech." She'd go help them soon.

"Hello? This is Makoto on Phillip's radio," she said, after checking to make sure it was on the right station. "There's a fight winding down at the Grocery Store, and he was taken out by a fish-person with a rocket launcher and a sword. She fled the scene afterward, so she can be anywhere by now." At least now people could look out for her.

Grocery Store — Out with a bang

Marcus was right. To be fair his job was killing things so there was no reason to think his advise wasn't genuine and Rick's actions more than proved it. He was expecting something along the lines of an improvised flamethrower, not liters upon liters of alcohol pouring from above the killa kan. Rex could only watch in silence as the soldier took him out of the way and the machine became a fireball. He rubbed the back of his head. It was good this was finally over and everyone could focus on more important and interesting stuff but it would have been better not to see that in the first place. Or owe Marcus a favor.

"Hey! I have a shield, thanks" he said, trying to keep up his usual snarky attitude. "But not gonna lie that was... disturbing"

While the sound of the bullets died down, it was apparent that the situation outside the store had calmed down somewhat. At the very least there weren't any apparent explosions going on at the moment. Rex walked to a nearby window to take a look.

"How are things going over here, guys? Things got a little too messy inside for my tastes"

"I'm—" I choked for a moment, before quietly clearing my throat. "This isn't so bad, comparatively. I'm fine." Something exploded inside, and the shitty mech voice sounded much worse for the wear, which probably boded well. "Is there a...is there a pattern to the sudden wave of psychopaths? W-what do you suppose we grab besides healing stuff?" Rex casually poked his head outside like we weren't just fighting for our lives. "One ran but otherwise, it's fine..."

A thought.

I headshot the dude that Phil'd KO'd earlier, and scooted over to loot the guy's bat. "I'm keeping this. Maybe the phaser too..."

Grocery store/militia channel

"Phillip is down? Is he vanishing, or down for good?" Wells' voice asked neutrally over the channel, with phaser fire audible in the background when he was transmitting.

Inside, the clanking from the killa kan was finally petering out, and the shoota finally stopped firing for the first time in... Maybe since it was even encountered. "You would forgo tactical choices and rely purely on your shield? That kind of overconfidence would be your downfall" Brother Marcus commented as he got up from his cover and followed to the front side of the grocery store. "My armor and weapons would be worthless used by a man of no intelligence and skill. One must have skill to go with their strength" the space marine added as he looked to Makoto and Lewis.

"His body is still here, but he's not responding to treatment so I believe that he's dead," Makoto replied to Wells, after pausing for a moment to make sure her voice was steady. "Do you know if this be undone, or is it too late to help him at all?" It was important to know if they should try to get him to the Library or not. She looked at Lewis, confused about why he wasn't aware of all the violent people cropping up. "We're being attacked by them because of whatever today's theme is. They're some form of aggressive clones of people from back in our universes. And no one seems to be coming back from death today either. Um...just try to grab anything that you might find useful in a fight. Or maybe not, since I don't think it's a good idea to stay here where it's not safe." The gunfire finally stopped, and Rex called out to them from the window.

"We're alive...mostly. Phillip took a rocket for us and I don't think he'll be standing back up," she said to Rex. His screwed up arm wasn't the easiest to look at, so she kept it out of her sight as much as possible before it made her feel sick. "Is that robot thing in there dead too?"

The streets

Ben's eyes widened as Two charged in and was immediately fired upon by the Militia, along with... Rick?!

That scumbag! Of course Rick would be here to make everything worse. He knew it was a bad idea to not arrest Rick earlier when he had the chance.

However, it didn't matter, the Militia would have things under control soon. Especially considering he heard a familiar beep. Looking at his wrist, he saw the watch glowing green. Perfect timing.

He had to get everyone else out of here.

He furrowed his brow, gripping the Omnitrix.

"Everyone else, grab onto Goldeneye and he'll teleport you back to the library! I've got a shadow and a shield dude to stop."

I can still hail the Horde even though the company has shamed us. Strength and Honor even if Blizzard has neither.

Grocery store

"Yeesh."

Wafting some of the oily smoke out of his way, Rick approached as close as he dared to the conflagration and sniffed the air. "Why... why do I smell... fried mushroom?" he asked to no one in particular, firing an intense beam at the smouldering hulk and peeling back some of the rusted, dented metal. Something blackened, charred, and vaguely humanoid slumped out, charred wires trailing out of its mutilated form and back into the machine itself.

"So, Marcus, I take it *urp* you have a history with this thing, huh?" Rick stamped out some nearby flames and picked up the corpse, experimentally tugging on a wire. "Jeez, the hell kinda butcher hardwires someone a death machine like this?" With the eye of a trained surgeon, he flipped the corpse of the pilot on its back.

"I coulda done it with one, two, wires, tops. Three if you count the spinal implant."


Street fight

Rick wriggled his cybernetic fingers experimentally as he looked down at Rean's fallen body, the phasers lancing over his head and flying directly into the portal. "Look, I'd really -really love to stay and chat, but frankly you're a bunch of lunatics, I pretty much- I *urp* already hate you all, honestly, and I have places to be. So, uh, as they say in Canada, peace oot."

A green light flared, and the portal disappeared, along with Rick.

Grocery Store — Pit Stop

"It works all the time for me" Rex told Marcus cracking his knuckles and stretching his arms. It wouldn't be long before he suffered from a spam at this rate if he didn't at least stop to eat something. Luckily there was food everywhere he looked. "And by the way, I designed that shield myself" he took a bag of chips and started eating like there was no tomorrow, that would be enough for now. And taking a couple of energy drinks for later wouldn't hurt either. After a loud burp, he continued talking. "I know what it can take. Not my problem your armor can't"

Meanwhile, outside, Makoto was safe and sound. The same couldn't be said for Philip, who was literally laying on the ground like, well, a corpse. He was even lacking part of an arm. It was sad, really. But there was nothing they could do about it right now, and Makoto didn't need someone freaking out on her.

"Yeah, it's... gone. Don't worry. Anyway, I found something for you" Rex handed her one of the cans he had taken "Because something tells me we're not gonna have much time to sit down and enjoy the day"

"Unfortunately, I don't really know. I've seen some people still vanish, others stay dead, and some have vanished after being dead for a while. If there's some reasoning behind it, I haven't figured it out" Wells' voice said in response to Makoto.

Then, there was a different and familiar voice over the channel. "Makoto, I'm glad to hear you're still alright!" Silanea's voice said over the channel. "Is Rex still with you?" the lamia then asked simply.

"... Yes, it is unfortunate that we cannot all be blessed with the protection of your thick ignorance" Brother Marcus said to Rex in a straight tone, before turning and looking back at Rick and the remains of the killa kan. "I have never encountered that specific greenskin before, however I know much of those foul xenos. They plague the galaxy with their never ending thirst for combat, fighting, pillaging, and enslaving all that they would come across" the space marine explained to the scientist in a more serious tone.

Library

Cole finished his breakfast, with a minimum of fussing for a change, though he still didn't seem as terribly impressed with the pancakes as his father did. Once he had eaten enough to seemingly satisfy the others, he was quick to pick his book back up as carefully as he could, still trying to avoid getting it dirty at all. "Now we can read about Hank, and everything, right?" he said, hopping to his feet, looking around a bit, and suddenly pausing, looking confused for a long moment, staring towards one of the doors across from them. "...Miss Tairee...?" he finally asked, glancing towards her, sounding deeply uncertain.

Just outside the glass, standing relatively calmly, a staff at his side as almost a walking stick, the other hand tucked away behind his back, and wearing a very elaborate armor, was a very familiar elf, at least to Cole. He said nothing for the moment, but kept his head held up high, to a point that seemed it couldn't help but come off as condescending, eyes locked firmly on the toddler standing across the library from him. There was no movement, no indication that the elf was anything but an image, for a long moment, before he seemed to turn, walking along the wall of windows, something that might have been a faint glow in his eyes, even as he continued to stare inside. His movements gave off every indication of a hunting predator, sizing up the den of its prey, though still with an air of regality.

"...Solas?" Cole blinked a few more times, before hesitantly starting towards the door nearby. "He...he came to the city too...?"

Library

Arcade sighed in contentment when he finished off his plate. That had been a good meal, and he was enjoying himself. It took Cole's very unsettled voice to drag him from his haze of satisfaction.

Blinking in confusion, he followed Cole's eyeline and caught sight of some weirdo staring at them through the glass. It was creepy in so many ways, and Arcade couldn't help but mutter, "alright, way to look like a complete pervert there."

Once Cole identified him as Solas, Arcade was less unnerved and more surprised and concerned. "Wait, Cole, no," he said, sternly, "if that guy's in the city then you should stay as far from him as possible. There's no telling what he might do."

I say that aloud too sometimes, just: "man, no life."

Miss Tairee looked up and over where Cole was looking, her expression turning neutral, her eyebrows lowering a little. "No. That is a copy of him, made to hunt you down" Miss Tairee said, turning back to the coffee table and their breakfast. "He cannot harm you so long as you're in here. He's trying to lure you outside; you should simply ignore him" the librarian suggested, though her copy was keeping an eye on the Solas nemesis.

"Well yeah I know, but is it random who gets copied or...? Hey guys." I coughed again, this one louder. Totally not a bad sign. I packed the bat all the same, along with Phil's phaser. It wasn't like he'd need it in the near future. Probably. So, there were people who did come back...? "Is there...something in common with the people who've respawned?"

I faced away from the radio, most certainly to watch for any other crazies and not out of shame and discomfort. "Yeah, he's—" Another coughing fit. "He's fine..."

Outside of Grocery Store

"Um, I think they're people that have issues with you, or something. Ben wasn't too specific over the phone, but that's my guess," she said to Lewis, who was steadily getting worse. Anat's engine growled, and the motorcycle applied another Mediarama to Lewis and Brother Marcus to ensure they weren't too injured.

"So this is still a mystery then? I was hoping that someone knew why the rules around here seem to be changed today. There are a couple more bodies around here that aren't gone either, but they were trying to kill us for no apparent reason. The last one of them ran away to look for that pyromaniac plant woman," Makoto said to Wells. Silanea joined the radio channel, which showed that she wasn't dead yet either. Well that was a good sign "Rex is here too, we're both fine right now. We'll head over to the library and see if we can dig up some answers about these death conditions. And if you see an, um... a silver haired woman with glowing yellow eyes in a black dress, don't let your guard down around her. I think she's trying to kill me. I think there's a big green alien man with a squid for a head out for blood too." This would be a good plan as long as Miss Tairee was allowed to tell them anything, but it was worth a try. Rex confirmed that the mech with the insane pilot was finished, and then handed her an energy drink. She looked at it with mild discomfort, but she took it anyway.

"Thanks, but...you sure you want me to have it?" she asked Rex with a half smile. "I think I drank about three of these on that alien invasion day to keep fighting. Not a great mix with stress though." He had a point about not being able to relax today, and she cracked it open to make sure she didn't bottom out before they reached safety.

Two, Phaser'd

Not only he got away scot-free, Two stumbled inelegantly over the battle floor once the phasers hit her. While she managed to pick herself up soon after, the damage was done. The enemy escaped with no repercussions, and now all she had out of it was a dead Louie.

With a furious howl, she slammed her fist down on the ground, hard enough to leave the rippling cracks far away from her position. "What is wrong with you?!" She screamed at no one in particular (though it was likely directed at the Militiaman who let the villain escape). She slammed her fist down into the same spot once more, ignoring the tears of frustration and grief growing in her eyes.

It was fortunate the problem of the Flower was resolved, else the others would have something far more serious to contend themselves with. Slowly, the bluenette picked herself up, shuffling her feet glibly, watching Caboose try to get Rean out of his "nap" before she approached the dead body, staring at it blankly. The little balls on him were shaking. Oh. His Pokemon, right.

Two bent down and picked one of those up at random, examining it with the same blank expression before she pressed the little button to see if she could get a Pokemon out. If successful, she would proceed to do so with the others, all advice and suggestions falling on deaf ears. It was indeed as if a part of her died there together with the young Pokemon Trainer.


Zero, Outside Grocery Store

"Oh, I thought he might still be saved." Well, there was no point in using a dead body. Nobody around seemed big on burying the dead, so... "To my knowledge, the only way you can bring someone back from the dead is by fucking them up thoroughly." That was basically how the undead worked. "A bunch of crazies set out to kill us? How fun." She intoned flatly, well aware of her own status.

"If it's someone that holds a grudge towards you, then I can guess who's mine, at least." Zero hummed, leaning down to examine Philip's body with a jaded look of someone who had seen countless such corpses already, idly checking for anything worth grabbing from him. He wouldn't need it anymore. "You okay there, big guy?" She looked up briefly at Lewis with a raised eyebrow.

Grocery store / militia channel

"We have men at the library already, as well as a combat situation at last report" Wells' voice informed Makoto.

"The fighting has stopped, at least right now; situation is still a bit tense though, sir" Greg's voice reported over the channel.

"I see. Someone there at the library, ask the librarian if she can tell more about what's going on" Wells' voice ordered in turn.

"I'm still in the lobby; I'll do it" Fastanook's voice agreed in response.

"Good, report back as soon as you can" Wells' voice added.

"Still other reasons to go to the library. Makoto, I'll try to meet you and Rex there, unless you change your decision" Silanea's voice said over the channel.

"Hm... So, you think perhaps the greenskin was brought here specifically because of me, rather than simply by chance?" Brother Marcus thought out loud after overhearing Makoto's thoughts on the day.

Meanwhile, with his MP5 exploded, Makoto having his walkie talkie, and Lewis having his phaser, there wasn't really anything else of note on Phillip's corpse.


Outside the library aftermath

Greg turned his attention away, walking back from the edge of the Thunder Child's deck, and out of view of those on the ground. The ship itself was lowering a bit more, so the other militia members at the edge had better aim and view of what was going on. "Did you not listen?! We don't know whose right or whose wrong or if either of you are even right! So chill out and stand down or it's nap time!" one of them called down, though with Two not trying to obviously attack anyone now, they weren't shooting her again, even though she wasn't staying still.

"Well that's Ben Tennyson" one of the other militia members noted, as the militia were relatively familiar with the boy. "We know he's... Not bad" the man added after briefly thinking about it.

Two was able to release Pecha, who moved next to Louie and simply laid down. Lil' Sunny afterward tried to shake the dead trainer by the shoulder, while crying. With all the pokemon there, Goldeneye floated over and put itself over Louie, just barely touching him, while humming and making other noises. Though some with hesitation, all five of the others moved to get themselves physically touching Goldeneye as well.

Cole paused at that, turning to look at Miss Tairee a bit incredulously, though not necessarily disbelievingly. "A...a copy?" He thought that over for a moment, then looked back at her again, looking rather concerned. "Like...like the other things that appeared, days past, with glass inside their minds, holding them away from who they really were, but...but not actually who they are? ...one of them is Solas now?" He looked to Arcade. "W...wh-what sort of day is today...?"

"Oh, enemies." That...sounded about right. But then, did I...? I relaxed a little from being healed again. "I said I'm fine..." I told Flower, who had mostly kept her head down so far. I'd put her out of mind, even, though now that we weren't under fire my head had gone back to piecing it together...

"...Who do you have in mind?" I asked, clearing my throat. It needed to be mentioned sooner rather than later, but I didn't want to start something while still bleeding out. "Also uh, who else is at the library already? Something, came up."

Outside the library aftermath

Ben furrowed his brow and glared up at the Militia men. They insisted that they couldn't tell who was right, then threatened naptime on anyone who didn't stand down. Ben didn't budge.

Especially when one of the other militia people said Ben 'wasn't bad'. What was that supposed to mean? That he wasn't good either?

"What's your problem?!" Ben asked incredulously. "You guys are the worst good guys ever! You let the bad guys get away, and then shoot at your allies! And then threaten to shoot us if we don't listen to you! I knew you guys would do this too!" He readied the Omnitrix.

"Louie's dead, and if you guys actually did your jobs and stopped the bad guys instead of threatening your friends we would've stopped the perpetrator!" he yelled up at the ship. "But you guys don't care, all you guys care about is forcing your order on everyone else!" He turned towards Goldeneye. "You guys, make sure you're touching Goldeneye. He'll teleport you to safety. Goldeneye, when everyone else is there with you, use Teleport to go back to the library!"

He then turned back towards the Militia.

"If you guys stopped wasting your time threatening us and started actually fighting the bad guys, this problem would be over now! But looks like I gotta clean up your mess! If you guys wanna stun me, fine, just try! But I'm a hero and heroes don't hesitate to stop evil when it pops up!" With that, Ben slammed on the watch, and with a bright flash of green light, he transformed into XLR8.

Fully expecting a barrage of stun bolts from the trigger happy militiamen, XLR8 moved at high speed, trying to avoid potential attacks as he left to go find the villains and stop them.

Grocery Store — The calm before the storm

"Running on fumes isn't a good idea either. I know how much using Anat tires you out" Rex insisted. She still remembered the experience of quitting the militia just as fast as she had joined. But this day was nothing like it. Sure, there were concerns about a city-scale invasion of less than helpful people but... she had learned her lesson about not tying her personal worth to her success. Hopefully. Yes, nothing bad would happen.

And that went for Silanea too who, as usual, was worried about Rex's well-being. Maybe she wasn't being so overprotective today.

"You don't need to worry. It would take more than a jury-rigged robo-suit to take me down. You should know that" There was a lot to think about the sudden appearance of antagonists everywhere. There was clearly a pattern where one person got one person to deal with. But at least to Rex, none of them seemed particularly dangerous. Just threatening in sheer numbers and about the level of what he handled in his job. Sae was the only one that stood out but even then Rex still believed Makoto was more afraid on an emotional level and Sae wouldn't prove to be above the normal kind of shadows she usually fought. It was relieving to think about and the fact that it made a bit of sense was a great bonus.

"I guess I'll probably get a random EVO I can cure in, like, a minute. See you in the library"

Outside Grocery Store—-> City Streets

"It's a good place to regroup, we'll go there anyway," Makoto answered Silanea. There was another fight somewhere else, but it was apparently resolved. Was Ben even alive, or had he been caught out chasing her sister? For all she knew, this was a completely different incident. It was best to just focus on one goal at a time.

"That's...true. I'm not out of energy yet, but I don't want to end up useless mid fight." She started drinking the can of knock off Creature, or at least that's what it looked like to her. It still tasted weird, but it was better than running on empty. She stopped when Brother Marcus started to connect the dots about his attacker.

"Yes, I do think that these attackers aren't just completely random, so maybe they're meant to be somewhat personal. Otherwise I'm not noticing much of a theme here," Makoto said to Marcus. As unpredictable as the Writer could be, he did at least stick to the guidelines of his own making. A good story had to be internally consistent to not confused the audience, after all. "And I don't know who's currently at the Library other than Fastanook," she answered Lewis. "Ben left, so he could be anywhere by now. Come on, we'll try walking and see if we hit the library. We might be quieter that way." Anat disappeared, and the mask reformed over Makoto's eyes as she finished draining the energy drink can before they all left. Did Rex really think that was what his opponent could be? One of the many mutated people he's fought in the past? "Um, I hope it's an easy one, but...what about Van Kleiss?" she asked, recalling his introduction in the television show she watched days before. He seemed extremely invested in Rex.

Library, lobby

"Yes, exactly like that. Other than the fact that he wants to kill you, you probably wouldn't be able to tell any difference between this and the real Solas" Miss Tairee answered Cole.


Outside the library

Ben was not shot at, but he did get some angry glares from the militia members. "Oh yeah, so much worse than your 'hero' vigilante justice" one militia member commented sarcastically.

"Let him go. We've got to secure this area" one of the other militia members reminded them, turning their attention back to the rest of the group. "Is nobody else trying to kill anybody right now? No? Then you can either explain what happened here or you can go; inside the library where it's safe would be best" the man told them, as the militia members lowered their phasers, though kept the weapons in hand for the moment.


Grocery store / Militia channel

"Alright, as I expected. I'll try to be there soon" Silanea's voice said over the militia channel.

"Okay, the librarian says that everyone in the city has a copy of a 'special enemy' from their home universe somewhere in the city. Anybody dying stays dead so long as their own enemy is still up and kicking" Fastanook's voice then explained over the channel.

"So Phillip is still dead because his enemy is still around. This complicates things; no wonder the city is so chaotic. We've been running into several hostiles" Wells' voice said over the channel.

"It feels disgraceful that a mere ork walker vehicle would be my opponent" Brother Marcus thought out loud in a disgruntled sort of tone. "Still, with my own opponent now dead, I am now clear to engage in combat freely" the space marine noted, turning and preparing to head out a different direction.

"I will do what I can to save others in the city" Brother Marcus announced as he was starting to leave.


Somewhere else in the streets, with sanic speed alien

There wasn't too many people in the streets, but there were signs of carnage. Up ahead of XLR8, there were laser shots sounding from inside an apartment building. Someone came running out of it, only to get caught by a laser shot to the leg, making them fall to the ground. "Take care of that one" a gruff voice said from inside the building. Shortly afterward... Fastanook came walking out of the building, brandishing his thwack hammer menacingly. He didn't have his militia badge, or walkie talkie, or phaser, or anything else obtained in the city, but it was still distinctly him. The injured person tried to crawl away futilely.

Cole tilted his head again, watching the Solas, who had stopped his slow stalking to simply stare back at him, again holding his almost prim posture and leaning slightly against his staff. "...would I be able to talk to him as though he were the real Solas, then, if he weren't able to hurt me?"

Arcade glanced between Tairee, Cole, and the fake Solas outside a few times, just letting it all sink in. Eventually, he asked, "wait... is everyone getting some sort of copy of a person trying to kill them? I don't even want to know who I've got..."

When Cole asked his question, he blinked before shaking his head. "I really don't think that'd be a good idea," he said, "you don't know what he'd be willing to try and pull to get you somewhere he can kill you."

I say that aloud too sometimes, just: "man, no life."

I thought for a moment, starting to dig around my phone. "...Wait, so then couldn't—ack—couldn't you have copies of people who were brought here if you had beef with them before? Will we have to play 'shoot him he's the clone' again?"

The Marcus guy or whatever was somehow disappointed at getting the mech thing with a screw loose. I shrugged, offhandedly commenting, "Would you prefer something more lethal?"
