CoLC crossover RP, main thread

Sans listened to Cole without adding anything else to the topic at hand, instead he was looking ahead and seeing if anything of interest popped up, like a staircase. Once Cole was done though, he looked at him

"at least you realized that you shouldn't mess with people like that and stopped, that's already better than what that kid did." He shrugged the whole thing off, the smile on his face unwavering "some people already know that i've gone through some bad stuff, i'm sure i left them either curious, worried or both, but i guess if i just act normally for a while they'll just forget it eventually"

After some more walking around, Sans finally spotted an elevator leading up to the next floor of the city, Ben had said that the upper area was quite something, so the skeleton couldn't help but be a little curious about what waited for them there

"anyway, there's an elevator" he gestured towards it as he made his way in "let's go see how different the upper area is"

Then someone came and made their way into the elevator, soon the elevator was quite crowded with people, so it looked like the conversation would be halted for a bit, not that Sans really minded since he had already gotten the main thing he wanted to know answered

Cole nodded a little, frowning a bit at the unfamiliar elevator, but following Sans regardless. More people came along with them, and he glanced between them, as though looking for something. Whatever it was, he didn't seem to find it, looking forward, before seeing someone who looked right at him, then spun around to leave immediately.

Cole watched him, blinking, before moving to start forward as though to leave the elevator. "That man...something off about him..."

Sans had taken notice of the mysterious person as well, it looked like they went away as soon as they saw Cole so the question now was whether that guy had a bad experience with him or is just aware of his powers, either was just as likely as the other.

"whatever that person is, they seem to know you," said Sans, he thought for a moment before speaking up again "if you wanna go after them we gotta step out now or else we're gonna go up."

Cole didn't even hesitate, starting to push his way off the elevator. "Excuse me...I'm sorry, I can't go yet...Sans you can stay, it's all right..." He didn't try to stop the skeleton from following him, though, intent on following whoever the stranger was.

"whelp."

Sans then left the elevator alongside Cole, if he knew something was that he wasn't a necessarily stable person so leaving him by himself in the city to deal with shady figures would probably result in bad things. As far as he knew they could be easily be walking into a trap but then again worst case scenario they would just die.

"i would be lying if i said i wasn't curious myself"

Closing the distance a bit, Cole could start to sense it clearly; there could be no doubt. The man had a presence of Old Feather Beak in him, and like the man Cole encountered in the supermarket, it was keeping Cole from getting into the man's mind or seeing what he was thinking. But Cole could still pick him out like a hot radar blip; if anything the nature of the Chaos daemon's warp magic made it easier, since it was similar enough to veil magic that Cole could vaguely pick it out.

The man had gone into one of the many alleys, illuminated by neon lights and vaguely damp, as if it had been raining. (Even though it had not.) He had slowed down now, not even checking over his shoulder to see if he'd been followed.

Cole stayed locked on the target, pausing for only a second when he realized he could sense the familiar demon about the man. He fidgeted his hands a second, but then moved quicker, just a little bit faster than a jog, not wanting to move too fast for Sans to keep up.

The alleys and lights in this place reminded him of the Fade more than he liked, with the strange glowing colors and the way everything seemed to be flowing and wet, but he pushed that memory aside, coming to the mouth of the alley and calling out.

"I can see you inside him! Get out of his head!"

"Actually, I am getting used to the functions of this device rather quickly," Plague Knight explained to Hol Horse. "I merely ignore any functions not pertinent to the communication capabilities. However, I am finding the calculator function to be very convenient. Better than abacuses I dare say!"

Sans just kept following after Cole and the figure, by the sound of things that person was apparently possessed by that demon creature, which means that there was a good chance that they were part of the Ruckus, which could also mean that they're diving right into a portion of that same group. Sans was already prepared to flee and drag Cole with him if necessary, but for now he was just going to go with the flow.

"so, whoever that is must be possessed huh?" he asked

The man stopped as soon as Cole yelled, already a ways down the alley. "I don't think he wants me to do that" the man said; it wasn't him speaking. He turned around to look at Cole and Sans, a sly grin on his face. "Who are you to make that decision for us?" he asked, staring directly at Cole.

Top Layer - Outside the Library - Now boarding Dimensional Dragon Airlines

The group at large managed to convince Zelda to tag along with them. Rex reassurec them by suggesting that they could just run away and return to the library if they ended up running the Lord of Change, but that also they were at somewhat an advantage by knowing about him from the book they read and having the element of surprise. He also said something about not telling any of this to a guy in blue armor unless they really needed too.

Then suddenly, Rex made a pair large metallc wings, completed with engines and such, form from his back. That didn't look any form of magic, at least not any that she knew of. She would definitely have to ask about later, but they had more pressing matters on their hands right now.

Rex told them to board him, which Lune did after transforming in the robot form she had told them about the other day, which was as impressive as it had sounded back them.

Turning to Rex, she said, " Well, we don't need to overload by making you carry all of us. Like I said before, Fried can carry two of us in his unsealed form. Just give me a second to cast the necessary spells."

After moving more to the outside, Caro then began the preparations. First, she transformed into her Barrier Jacket by giving the command, " Kerykeion, set up!" After this was done, she casted Dragon Soul Summon, making the large and pink Summoning Square appear and unleashing Fried's true form. Now that his body proportitions were back to normal, Zelda would likely notice that he was at about size of a Loftwing.

Caro mounted on her dragon and then turned to face Sadness and Zelda, saying, " One of you two can come with us. I have never rode with more than one more person back home and Fried is somewhat smaller for some reason while we are in this city, so I don't wanna risk."

Middle Layer: Two spirits and a skeleton in an alley

"He is...Sans, stay back...just in case." Cole checked to make sure Sans wasn't too close before turning back, scowling, moving towards the man. "I know how you work, demon! You twist their minds, you make them think they want what you offer them, but you only want them to hurt people! You take whatever was inside and flip it about so that they can't understand anymore, they may think they do but they don't! You threatened my friends, tried to get into their heads, but I won't ever let you control them!"

Sans stayed back at the alley's entrance like Cole asked, he really had nothing to add to that conversation so he just stood there, ready for a fight if need be. First thought that came into mind is that being in a narrow passage like that meant that some like a bullet or laser would be pretty hard to dodge, so he made sure to have room for himself to get away in case something started. Not only that, but he was almost expecting something to attack them from behind.

Library -> Top Layer - Outside Library - Organization is a Pain

After all the craziness she'd been through up until this point, the sight of three of the others transforming in some fashion didn't earn much of an external reaction from Zelda apart from a simple curious glance. Inwardly, she couldn't help but feel a little bad at her own lack of special abilities yet again. She shoved those thoughts into the back of her mind; she was helping here in some fashion, and now wasn't the time for self pity anyway.

She glanced between Fried and Rex for a few moments. "Fried isn't that much of a departure from a Loftwing, which I'm used to riding back home, while there's nothing I can compare Rex to. Plus Rex is already carrying Lune, whose armor looks pretty heavy as it is. On the other hand, Sadness probably wouldn't weigh either down that much, and Rex looks a little sturdier than Fried."

She glanced at Sadness for a brief moment, and another thought came to her. "Can you control your abilities, Sadness? As much as I can appreciate your motives for using them, now's really not the best time for anyone to be having an emotional breakdown."

"That's *urp* that's the spirit." Rick cocked his head, his left eye twitching, as Tick embarked on another stream-of-consciousness monologue, following the basic spirit of the thing and ignoring some of the more bizarre turns of phrase.

It was hard to tell if Rick was being sardonic or not, but regardless he took another shot before continuing. "Anyway, demons. Can't say I know what kind they are yet- there's the *urp* there's the avatars of cosmic hatred, uh, those ones who melt your brain with.. .whaddyacallit... things men was not supposed t know, the, the, ones the size of Minnesota with eight reality-destroying sphincters, look I dunno, I gotta cover all the *urp* cover the *urp* bAURHGses here." Another shot.

"But hey, *urp* I'll keep you updated on the situation. Started building some, whaddya call it, uh, demon *urp* demon hunting equipment last night. Things get whack, I call you, you punch those... evil*urp* doers... in the face, rah rah go team."

"A... moth?" Morty stared up at the guy for a few seconds. "Oh. Huh, yeah, y'know, I can see that. And a... tick." Which was weird, but not as weird as it once would have been to a jaded dimensional traveller. Morty pondered the identity of the Tick and his apparent :sidekick" for a few more seconds. "So... d-do you have, like, bug powers? Like the power to summon bugs or something? Or act like bugs? Are you from, like a super-universe where everyone is a superhero?"

Fried turned into a bigger version of itself after Caro shouted some words and created a glowing square.

Caro commented that she wasn't sure how much weight Fried could carry here since he had apparently shrunk a bit and she didn't want to overwhelm him.

Zelda wondered if she should go with Fried (since she was apparently used to riding dragons) or Rex, who was already carrying Lune.

"Don't worry, just yesterday I travelled with five people. I can deal with you and Lune"

"Although she's heavier than she looks" he said, chuckling.

Hol Horse felt injured that someone who, from what he gathered last night, was from some kind of medieval fantasy world had managed to figure out this newfangled phone faster than him. Was he behind the times? Was Hol Horse losing his touch, even though there would be no possible way he would encounter this kind of futuristic technology in his real life?

Mr. Keychain asked him something. Hol Horse looked at him, confused, and said "Well, I've got experiences, alright. Just what kind do you want to hear?"

"Oh no my friend, I'm afraid you're mistaken" the man said to Cole, standing in place and letting Cole come closer. "If all I wanted was to make people hurt each other, I would be of Khorne, not of Tzeentch. I told you what I want: Control. Just as you are compassion, I am ambition. And if we control everyone in this city, we'll get what you want as well" he continued, still watching Cole approach, "just think of it compassion, all of them having no reason to fight each other. United by us, unified together by our influence." Only once Cole was finally close did the man move, stepping to one side of the alley to make the way clear. Other blips of Old Feather Beak's control were approaching fast from multiple angles.

"At the very least, if ya' are gonna fight us; ya' should know better than to walk right into our hand" another voice said, as a man in a pinstripe suit with four intersecting lines on the front stepped into view at the other end of the alley. Not only did he likewise have Old Feather Beak's possession,^note Though unlike his colleague he actually was speaking his own words. but Cole would recognize him; not from meeting him personally, but from Silanea's memories. This was the man who'd attacked her back on the night the city was a jungle. "Face it bub, yer' outnumbered. And we've been getting new toys today" he added, drawing a somewhat large, boxy pistol with a green strap wrapped around it and some kind of flashlight bulb beneath the barrel that wasn't on. He didn't aim it at Cole or Sans but held it up and ready, inspecting it with a slight smile as he walked forward into the alley.

Just like Sans expected, two figures emerged from another alley off to his right: The lady from the grocery market who formerly had a jet pack, holding a strange pistol with two very short but quite wide barrels. Next to her was the goron, wielding a very large sniper rifle with a round barrel, that had cords attached to it leading to a large pack on his back. The lady started walking towards him, holding the pistol low; the goron stood his ground and took aim directly at Sans through his scope, but did not yet fire.

Cole sucked in a breath when he was aware of the presence of others around him, staying perfectly still as he turned his head to look at the man with the boxy pistol, staring at him for a moment, a look of what might have been close to anger coming to his face. "...Sans, get out now. Do not let them take you."

He looked back at the first man, clenching his fists at his sides, curling wisps of green mists coming from them, just barely enough to be noticeable. "I don't want to fight you. But I will if you force me. You can't kill me, not forever, not here. And I'll know where you are."

Sans didn't say anything, once he saw the two other figures coming from the other alley, he just knew they would have to fight. Well, not necessarily have, he could just get himself and Cole out of there, but Cole seemed intent on staying there. With that, he merely did a quick movement with his left hand and suddenly the gorom would be pushed right into the lady and into the wall and crush her between them, not only that, but suddenly bones would sprout out of the wall they crashed into and pierce through them, although it was more like they phased through them, they would still feel pain for every instant they were in contact with the bones that would retreat back into the wall after a couple of seconds.

"kid, c'mon, if i just left you here i wouldn't be a very good friend now, would i?" he told Cole without even looking at his general direction in the same laidback way as ever, his left eyesocket flaring with an aqua light

The skeleton kept himself focused, fire could come from either side of the alley, so he had to be ready to dodge the instant it seemed like someone could shoot him. At this point he could only trust that Cole would be able to handle himself, although he wasn't sure of how he would be able to handle himself against guns, especially keeping in mind that the previous day he even died by being shot in the face. Either way, best case scenario, they win; worst case, they die and have to come back later; neutral case, they flee.

The man in the pinstripe suit chuckled slightly, and the man they'd been pursuing in the first place spoke up, "now now compassion, who ever said anything about us killing you?" The man then rushed at Cole intent to tackle him to the ground, while the pinstripe man just kept walking calmly, aiming to move past Cole if his colleague was successful in keeping the spirit busy.

Meanwhile, just outside the alley since the woman had been walking forward while the goron held still, sending the Goron towards the woman was not a perpendicular angle towards the wall. Furthermore, the woman dodged without looking, as if she knew the goron was being flung towards her, running forward at Sans and bringing the strange pistol up. With a loud blast, both barrels fired, sending a whole wave of buckshot tearing towards Sans as the recoil briefly forced the woman's arms almost straight up. Behind her, the goron braced against the wall and cringed as he took the brunt of the bone attack, but it did not put him down. Once the bones had retracted, he pushed away from the wall and brought his rifle up to start aiming again.

Cole's eyes flashed green for an instant as the spirit leapt to the side at the charge, image vanishing in a swirl of green mist. A couple seconds later, he flashed back into view, coming to a stop from running behind the man, both hands clasped together in a doubled fist, swinging down as hard as he could for the base of the pursued man's neck. "Sans, be careful!"

Gon, with Ben in the meantime

"So you got yourself those huh?"

Gon was most interested in the grappling hook he got, only because it could be used in either an offensive or defensive manner.

"I may be able to handle that." He pointed to the grappling hook device.

I probably should introduce myself. Lune's the only one who knows my name.

"I don't think I introduced myself yet to the others..." Gon offered his hand out. "I'm Gon. I remember seeing you fight with your device a few days ago."

edited 20th Apr '16 10:04:28 PM by Ominae

Gon pointed out that he would be able to use the grappling hook. Ben shot a look at Gon and shook his head. "Well it's mine, so you can't have it," Ben pointed out, sounding a tad bratty when he did so. Then Gon offered his hand to him. His frown softened and he shook the man's hand. He had a strong grip...

"I'm Ben Tennyson. Yeah, you mean this 'device'?" Ben asked, showing off his watch. "Caro called it a device too. It's called the Omnitrix! But I call it the watch."

As soon as he saw the lady begin to run towards him, Sans vanished from sight very quickly, making the woman fire bullets at the wall. He reappeared behind her and the gorom and began summoning skull shaped drones in front of him, the pair of attackers would hear the sound of the drones charging just before they all fired at the same time, together firing a white beam big enough to cover that portion of the alley.

"you're not the only ones who benefit from a narrow space, y'know." said Sans, shrugging.
