CoLC crossover RP, main thread

Ben grinned.

"Don't worry, your Highness," Ben assured Asgore. "Once my Omnitrix goes off cooldown, I won't have any trouble keeping warm. But we should probably get some warm clothes just to be sure. And we should probably get you some food, yeah," he admitted. He glanced over at the aisles, his eyes immediately drawn to the candy aisle, which sadly seemed to be almost empty now (due to all the people raiding the store). He drooled a bit, but then his stomach churned (since it was full of all that meat that Wildmutt had gorged on) and he coughed a bit, managing to regain his train of thought.

"So, uh, what do monsters eat?" he asked Asgore curiously, glancing up at him and keeping himself wrapped tightly in the king's cape.

"I think I would be satisfied with just a sandwich for now. I was brought into this city just before I could have breakfast." Asgore answered, smiling cheerfully at Ben, though one of the things he mentioned got his attention "What is an Omni... something?"

Ben winced, then smiled sheepishly.

"Oh, right. I haven't explained that yet," he told Asgore. He then showed the king of the monsters his watch. Currently it was red. "This is the Omnitrix, an alien machine that lets me turn into aliens. Right now it's still charging after I went Wildmutt back there. But pretty soon it'll turn back on and I can go Hero again." He lowered his arm, pulling it back into the cape. It was cold.

He made his way to the shelf, heading for the bread aisle. "Uh, what kinda bread you like? And what do you want on your sandwich?" he asked.

As Rex tore through the city Legion started to take note of the fact that, quite unlike yesterday, there were people. A lot of people. So many that it probably wasn't a good idea to keep going like this.

"Alert! Large amount of pedestrians detected! Recommending speed reduction to avoid accidents!"

Adam could only shoot Rex a glare about the new people within the city, even if it wasn't his jurisdiction he was still a cop. And wouldn't stop to reprimand Rex for such behavior.

However his Smart Vision picked up on a nearby store, from the sign it seemed to be what they were looking for.

"Stop here. This is the place."

Grimlock (RiD15); Dino mode

Somewhere in a Weird City

That was good. He wasn't causing trouble. The horse like thing then answered for him on its status on being not his pet. From its voice, Grimlock guessed it was a girl, then she mentioned she was from some place whose name he couldn't catch. Ekweesera? Ekwesta? Ekaweestia? Either way, it was a weird word. But what caught his attention was when she mentioned princess.

"Princess? As in, you know, like, will be the next uh...one, to rule over a kingdom-thingy?" He wasn't really sure of the concept when he heard it from a movie.

A new voice then said,"Pardon me" and it made Grimlock turn to its owner.

Only to shout and fall on his back at seeing the speaking. He quickly jumped back onto his feet with surprising grace and was gonna punch the guy until he saw what he was properly. He looked like a human, until he reached the part where there wers supposed to be legs. Instead of two legs were a spider's body, the torso in the spot where a spider's head would be. It basically looked like an organic Insecticon. He glad for that, for a second he thought it was those creepy eyed things (crustaceans).

Grimlock unclenched his fist and lowered it as the spider-guy continued, "Did you just arrive here? You stand out quite a bit, and I don't recall seeing either of you in the last couple of days."

"Yeah, I just got here. The name's Grimlock. But, uh... I don't know how I got here," he said. He glanced around the place again. He could still see the large humans in some of the buildings. Some of them were gone. Then he added, "Why're all the humans a lot bigger? Weren't they, like, this big?", indicating the size (just below his knee) with his hands.

The dragon became shocked at the coming of the spider person. While fascinating in its own right, the drider did not truly interest Plague Knight due to greater concerns of supplies and possibly warm clothing -

His eye nearly popped out through the telescope upon seeing the purple thing. "ZOUNDS!!" he exclaimed.

Grimlock, Twlight, Marr, and the Drider would someone approaching, running in fact......

Then came an explosion, followed by a second explosion, then something spinning like a fireball towards Twilight - *DING!* - and Plague Knight landed daintily on his tippy toe in front of the alicorn.

"Amazing! An equine form of advance hardened papillomavirdae!" the alchemist proclaimed, paying special to her horn. "Appears to be spiral in shape, no obvious negative side effects....might be more of a generalized genetic defect......I should get some sample! But, no, might be contagious via touch, may have to destroy my gloves if I touch them, way to inconvenient to fashion new ones. Wait, are those wing?! YES they are!" He moved his staff to gently lift up Twilight's wing. "Muscularcher similar to.......albatross or falcon.....seem proportional small compared to the rest of the creature, possible another genetic mutation.......same as with the odd fur and hair pigmentation....."

He then looked over at Twilight's cutie mark. "Interesting pattern on the flank," he continued, "possibly as a result of the genetic mutation. So many on a single equine may suggest the result of some type of advance magical experiment, either placing additional parts on an existing creature or the combination of many there of......symbol might be sigil of the mage one responsible......does the symbol only appear on the fur, permeating the folicles, or just is appear directly on the skin similar to zebra and tigers? May need to collect some shaving shears to figure it out......"

Plague Knight them pulled out a stack of papers and began writing all of his thoughts down using a ball-point pen.

Asgore smiled at Ben "Do not worry, I can find what I want by myself."

And with that he began looking around the supermarket for everything he felt like eating at the moment, soon enough he came back with a pretty big (from Ben's perspective at least) vegan sandwich that he was already beginning to eat.

Grimlock (RiD15); Dino mode

Somewhere in a VERY Weird City

Grimlock just blinked. In the course of a few seconds, two explosions happened followed by a weird looking human landing in front of Twilight. Then he proceeded to ramble about a bunch of stuff he could only vaguely understand. One thing's for sure, he sounded a lot like Fixit when he was talking about the Cybertronian gladiator pit.

He wasn't so sure what to do with the sudden appearance, so he just asked,

"Uh... Who're you?"

Ben crossed his arms and nodded as Asgore went to gather up materials for his sandwich. While he was waiting, he heard a light beep, then checked his arm. Sure enough, the Omnitrix's dial had turned green.

"Oh, cool," Ben muttered, with a grin. When Asgore returned, he unburied himself to remove the huge cape and tried to hand it back to Asgore. "You can have this back for now, your Highness," Ben stated, then he grinned wider and grasped the Omnitrix in his hand, turning the dial to the alien he wanted. "Now we head to the balcony to find this mystery dye trader. It's time to turn up the heat!" With that, he slammed his hand onto the dial.

There was a sudden bright green flash, and when the flash subsided, he was now in his Heatblast form. "Heatblast!!" he exclaimed, striking a pose. Sure enough, nearby Heatblast it had gotten very warm. He then turned towards Asgore and the man in the colorful coat. "Whenever you're ready, your Highness," he told the king of the monsters.

Marr noticed what seemed to be a mix of a human and a spider arrive near them and ask them if they recently arrived here, perhaps this being knows more about this situation than any of them.

He also noticed that the purple being was actually a sentient and also a princess of a planet run by a monarchy...but princess of "Friendship"? Is this some kind of tomfoolery?

The Sith Lord then noticed something approaching them in high speed, along with some explosions, he was about to turn on his lightsaber, but then the...small being, an alien he assumed, immediately stopped in front of Twilight and started to...take notes.

A scientist...a crazy one, certainly.

"Was the explosions and entrance really necessary instead of just walking to us?."

Plague Knight's lab

Agarth just stared at the spot Plague Knight moments ago. Well this isn't good, he thought.

He then said to himself "Running off towards a dragon, or even a golem fo the matter, with out a weapon isn't a very great idea."

Agarth then ran after the slowly shrinking outline of Plague Knight in the distance.

Agarth managed to finally catchup with Plague Knight and while trying to catch his breath he said "Was that necessary?"

Asgore took his cape back from Ben when he handed it over and witnessed Ben's transformation, looking very impressed by it as he still wasn't quite used to the idea of a human being able to turn into monster, or aliens as he refered to them as. In fact, this new fire transformation reminded him a little of the flame monsters that lived in the Hotlands before everyone left the underground.

"How long can you stay in that form?" he asked before taking a bite off his sandwich and began putting his cape back on "This city seems to be quite big and you transforming back in the middle of this cold would be... a problem."

In response to the 'next in line' question, Twilight spoke, "Well, actually..."

But that was a far as she got. In the following events, two newcomers showed up, one of whom in a rather dramatic fashion. Said newcomer proceeded to look at her.

Throughout the newcomer's... examination, Twilight just stood there with a 'What are you doing?' look on her face. The robotic dinosaur beat Twilight to the punch with the obvious question.

Afterwards, another human figure showed up.

She presented this new figure with the question, "I presume this guy with no sense of personal space is your friend?"

Near the liquor store

Rex struggled to pick up speed thanks to the snow and the fact that he had to maneuver through a crowd. It didn't help that Legion advised him not to run over pedestrians. Like he even needed to be reminded.

"This exactly why I've been thinking of adding a horn to this thing. As it turns out, it's harder than I thought"

After a few minutes, he -along with Legion and Adam- stopped near a liquor store but, most importantly, a diner. Rex was starving and the MREs were not edible, not ready, and definitely not meals.

"So, here we are. If you don't mind I'm going to see if they serve food in that place. Grab all the alcohol you can. I'll see you in ten minutes or so."

The teen ran up to the diner tried to open the door.

Outside Restaurant and Liquor Store

Upon spotting the innocent civilians, Lune slowed her pace down and swerved out of the way. Phew, that crisis was averted. Eventually, she made the turn around the corner and stopped upon seeing the liquor store and restaurant. This particular restaurant must be quite popular, since a crowd of people was near it. Lune saw Rex try to open the door to the restaurant and walked over to him.

"Mind if I helped," offered Lune. "Two heads are always better than one, right?"

Adam stepped up to the Liquor store and tried opening it. It was locked.

"Got any idea on getting in that doesn't involve breaking into it Legion?"

The Liquor Store

Legion, upon noticing the liquor store, got off of the Rexcycle as soon as the geth was able. Stepping up to the door it watched as Adam attempted to open the liquor store.

He failed. The door was locked. And there wasn't really much time to find a lockpick or the store key - time was absolutely of the essence here. Legion looked over to Adam, judging that the man would probably judge him in turn for what he was about to do. The geth, however, saw little other recourse.

"Negative," replied Legion. With brute geth strength - quite a bit more than a human, though still not enough to cause extreme damage - the geth ripped the door open with a high-pitched whine from its arm motors, a horrible grinding noise emanating from the door as the locking mechanism shaved off where they met.

"In light of potential extermination, petty crimes are judged as being the lesser of two evils." The geth stepped inside, and took stock of what was available.

Heatblast looked at the Omnitrix symbol on his chest, then looked at Asgore.

"Ten, fifteen minutes tops," Heatblast explained to Asgore. "So let's get a move on before the Omnitrix times out already..." he muttered, turning back towards the door and starting towards it. The cold didn't bother him at all anymore, given that he was made of fire. A few steps out of the door, he looked back at Asgore, looking a bit annoyed that he had to wait.

"Seems like a good plan," Adam admitted stepping in.

Various brands of alcohol sat on the shelves, a few he recognized, A few he didn't. Regardless the cop set about grabbing as many as he could.

He even found a few extra packs of cigarettes behind the counters, a few filtered and unfiltered. Didn't matter to him anyways. Sentinel Health Repair system prevented self destruction.

"Look for some strong brands," Adam noted picking up some Vodka bottles "Rick is no doubt going to drink some of this as well."

"Acknowledged," replied Legion, as it walked the shelves, quickly inspecting the alcohol for its content and pilfering the richer examples. "It is likely his machine will be based on whatever he drinks; strong, large supplies of alcohol will be necessary to maintain temperature."

While the geth saw Adam take some cigarettes it didn't bother to inform him of their health risks. There were bigger problems at the moment, and the geth felt it impolite to do so. It merely focused on obtaining as much fuel as it could carry.

"Multiple trips will likely be necessary," the geth remarked.

Adam continued to bag what he could, the cigarettes would help bring his mind of things later.

Another locked door to storage, another quick rip of the handles, and a open supply. Thank you augmentations.

"As for the next step. We should also look into other forms of transport to carry everything. A car at the very least."

"Of course it was necessary," Plague Knight said to Marr and Agarth, "I'm not exactly an athlete, and explosions after the fastest form of foot travel outside of teleportation."

Grimlock then ask who he was -

"THE DRAGON CAN TALK!!" Plague Knight suddenly yelled in surprise.

Then Twilight made her comment -

"THE PONY CAN TALK!!" he said in equal surprise.

Liquor Store

There was a crash and what sounded like a lot of bottles breaking as an all-too-familiar pair kicked down the door. "All right!" said Rick, clapping Legion on the shoulder. "Tin Man *urp* Tin Man's in on the beer run! Wubba-lubba-dub-dub; am I right, ladies and gentlemen, or am I right, huh?"

Rick's parka and labcoat was clearly weighed down with stolen bottles; every step was accompanied by the clank of numerous glass bottles tapping against oneanother. Behind him, Morty did his best to hold on to a few more bottles of what looked like strong vodka. Somehow, he'd managed to find a ski mask and a crowbar while in transit; the scientist grabbed a bottle off the shelf and chugged it back as he shoved some more into his coat.

"Can't we just, you know... I mean, I don't feel, uh, good about violently looting like this," said Morty from behind Rick. "Isn't there, like, uh, like a different way to get... stuff?"

"I mean, *urp* the thing is about looting stores, you guys, is that you gotta loot it fast and just gut this sonofabitch before anyone else catches on. People, are, they're like fat lazy lions, they're just gonna circle *urp* and try to intimidate you, Morty, and you gotta be like the- the hyena, Morty, and stand your *urp* stand your *urp* your GROUUUUHURGHND, and scare 'em off! Be-be *urp* be the hyena, Morty." Rick tossed the laser gun to his grandson and motioned for him to stand by the door while the others continued their sweep of the store.

"Aw man, Rick, I-I-I-I think, I think you got it backwards, you know? I think that the li- the lions are the ones, who, uh..."

"The thing you gotta learn about the world, Morty, the really important thing, is that documentary producers are lying pieces of shit. Fuck 'em." Rick hefted his crowbar from hand to hand as he kept shoving stuff into his coat. "Just shoot anybody who comes, near, okay? I mean, Morty, there's, uh, there's not enough booze in this city to save everybody. Think of what the hyena, think of what she'd do, and, channel that hyena, Morty."

"If anybody asks, you guys *urp*" he explained to the others, the recently purloined alcohol starting to take effect, "we-we're just looting the store to get dru- we're gonna get drunk, okay? It's art. There's an art to this kind of mis... misdirection. You can't do art without getting your paintbrush wet."

"Or I mention I'm a cop and then people just stop asking those questions," Adam mentioned.

"Besides. Seems they got a brewery in this storage here," the cyber cop noted looking in the back room.

"Think any of this ethanol will help Rick?"
