Easton City, Winterbloom's

After a while Fyodor giggled a bit, seemingly finished testing the rune. He went over to Misty "Ms. Misty? I think I want that one~" He held up the runestone. The raven noticed Fyodor walking over, so he flew over as well, landing on his shoulder again.

Demon Slayer took note of the regeneration then and threw down its pistol, causing it to disappear in a flash of white light, replaced by the shotgun.

"Save them," The samurai said in English but with a thick Japanese accent. He barreled towards the tiger, straight head on then, ducking under swipes. He slammed the shotgun's butt hard into the the beast-man's abdomen with his super strength. He'd made to slip under past it- him then and get behind again, just to the side, and jammed the shotgun against a shoulder.

He fire with the intent of simply blowing off an arm wholesale.

Depot E14: Run To The Hills!

Eventually, Emp reached an elevator shaft which she assumed would take her back to the surface. To increase her odds of getting out uncaught, she stopped and absorbed all the electricity from the elevator lights, granting her a noticeable speed boost as she made back upstairs.

Soon she bolted out the door as an electric blur, past some... delivery guys, from the looks of things. Naturally, her presence disrupted their technology. She noticed one of them was on the phone. Older-looking thing, but might be intriguing as an antique. She rushed up to the man, clambered onto his face and attempted to snatch the phone straight from his hand. "YOINK!"

Regardless of whether she succeeded or not, she soon dashed across the street, disrupting the electric systems of any cars crossing her path, and scrambled into a darkened multi-storey parking lot. She stopped in here to 'restock' on electricity from some of the parked cars, her presence setting off a number of car alarms, before dashing out back and fleeing into a manhole.

Once she was back underground, she stopped for a moment and made an irritated grimace, like she'd forgotten something. And she had. "Ohhhh... CRUDDICLES! An ENTIRE WAREHOUSE of fancy-shmancy gizmos an' I didn't take any! STUPID, STUPID, STUPID!" she yelled at herself, facepalming repeatedly and furiously.

Cordelia nodded to Copy 3, wondering what the hell was going on, what these random... clones were doing, what the hell those cheshire cat demons were, and why the hell this was all happening on her day off.

"Magnetic, not energy."

She sighed. "Captain Cordelia Eisenstern, OMEN Rapid Response Division. Now, please. Explain what in the name of god is going on."

-Easton City Harbour-

Oh boy.

This was going to be tough to explain.

"Right. Well, your dimension has been targeted by the Parasites. They're basically interdimensional rodents, who feed on dimensional anomalies, like portals, weak areas of the space-time continuum, and so forth.

"As for me, well... I'll have to sum it up, as it would take way too long. Basically, collectively we are known as Project: Hardlite, an interdimensional guard of sorts. Our job is to keep general peace throughout the Multiverse, stopping threats like the Parasites, and fixing dimensional anomalies."

"We all have the ability to manipulate our own state of matter, becoming a gas, solid, plasma, or liquid. Also, with excess matter, we can create weaponry, small objects, or even full instances of ourselves, as you saw."

"Honestly, that's the best I can sum it up. I'm sorry we caused such a mess, but I assure you, we are not a threat to your dimension."

Misty smiled and hugged Simon, before escorting Fyodor over to the register.

"Have a nice day, Fyodor. And say high to your -"

Parents? Guardians? Older relatives?

"- family for me!"

Fyodor happily followed to the register and after a bit of searching found enough money. "There you go Ms. Misty~" After properly paying for the runestone he carefully put it in his satchel - if one was observant enough one could see something white in the satchel. "Kay~ Will do Ms. Misty~"

All Agent Jones saw was a blur (and some fur) as Emp ran by him and snatched away his phone.

"THERE IT IS! SHOOT IT!!" he angrily shouted.

-*prtp* *prrtp* *prrrtp*

-"Sir! Our blasters aren't firing!!"

-"Someone hand me another phone!"

"...They aren't working either."

"!@$#!! it!!" the Field Commander cursed.

Simon actually blanched for a moment when Misty hugged him. He wasn't used to displays of affection like that.

Then after the odd boy made his purchase and left, he addressed the young witch again:

"Tell Hazel I went out on a- personal errand" and then he exited the store, and proceeded to shadow Fyodor.

It wasn't that hard. It was only a ten-year-old boy and he had literally years of experience under his belt. He had to be careful about that raven, though. He was sure it was no ordinary bird.

Fyodor quickly went for the next train station, boarding one of the trains heading for one of the sub-urbs (one that was situated near a large forest) over him there still was a flock of ravens, although the one on his shoulder did not fly to the others.

Easton

H52-S, or Heartstopper, as he had taken to calling himself, stepped off the train and checked the time on his phone.He was on schedule. He had an important meeting with his target and he was looking forward to it. This kind of contract was his favorite, because not only was he getting paid exorbitantly for his services, he also had a personal stake in this. It had been a long time since his last personal outing, so he wanted it to be perfect.

His target was once the head of a successful law firm, a regular partner of his creators, and she especially was in deep with them. However once he had escaped, and began eliminating his creators one by one, she, along with the rest of them, went underground. He had studied her behaviors closely, and formed his plan. He had information on her, and threatened to leak it, she would meet with him, and after coming to an "agreement", she would have him killed some time later, to tie up lose ends and to recover her losses. This method usually worked for her, but she didn't know his face, or the extent of his powers. She wouldn't live past the end of the meeting.

He arrived at the warehouse they were to meet at, but he was early. He took this moment to review the target information on his phone, in case there was some small detail he had missed.

Downtown Easton.

The Herald with his two favorite axes as his arsenal, sped towards the bear's legs. The beast's right leg was injured, and soon, so was his left leg. Joseph, after striking the right leg, threw one axe at the bear's left leg.

The man-beast knelt down in pain, and Herald, seeing the opportunity, jumped to its back and summoned a chain. It was also crimson red, just like his axes. Joseph started to strangle the bear. The bear resisted, trying to grab Joseph. But... The Herald screamed.

It was too similar... The memories of his first murder came up to him. Joseoh strangled David with this same chain. Soon, the beast grabbed the chain and threw it away. The man-beast hit Joseph with his elbow and then pinched him in the face. The mask cracked, showing Joseph's blue eyes. The vigilante was on the floor, barely breathing. The memory didn't go away... It was still here. The bear was about to land a finishing blow.

The bear's fist flew away. The man-beast roared. The Herald summoned his claws and cut off the hand, then he stabbed the beast. Joseph began slashing and stabbing the bear's chest

"I'll kill you... I'll kill you...". Those were the words that muttered. His eye showed nothing but pure insane wrath. The Herald wanted to kill the bear, for reminding of his past. For forcing him to relieve the pain.

"I'll kill you!" The Herald screamed like a mad lunatic.

-Rine's HQ, Edge of the Multiverse-

The ship was currently being torn apart.

The Parasite, who had apparently decided that Hardlite reinforced ships were some sort of delicacy, wasn't going to give up anytime soon.

Well, neither was Copy 1.

He was running around the bridge, desperately pulling switches, pushing buttons, and fixing every alarm.

Which was all of them.

If the Parasite (which he shall now affectionately call Memphis) got to the Rift Room, then not only would the ship be destroyed, but several universes and their neighbours, too.

His Hardlite reserves, while not close to empty, were not exactly enough to hold out for backup.

This was hopeless.

All because he didn't act quick enough.

He would have to go all out.

His eyes, which were previously glowing with a calm tranquillity (which is impressive, all things considered.) started to smoke and burn, glowing brighter and brighter. He lifted his sword, which started to glow in a similar manner to Copy 4's, when he-

Yes, you know where this is going.

He fired the beam of plasma directly at Memphis' head, which started to melt, as it writhed in agony.

It wouldn't be enough to kill it, but hopefully it would retreat, now that it was badly inju-

~CRUNCH~

Or at least, that would have been the sound if he wasn't in space, but I don't think Copy 1's dead, sparking corpse is in the condition to disagree.

Memphis' dead, melted corpse wasn't either.

Easton, right after the crash.

Elizabeth heard a sound nearby her location, and she saw a large dust coming up from the source of the sound. She was sure. Something crashed. But what could it be? Aliens? Or something else entirely? She didn't know, but Elizabeth assumed that it was nothing good. She had to go there, just in case it was some kind of a monster, but... if she went there, then she would lose a potential chance to meet Joseph. She had spent so much time trying to find her old friend, wanting the answers. However, Elizabeth decided that she had to protect the people from potential danger. Besides, it crashed near her, so she wouldn't lose too much time. "I can find Joseph later", - Elizabeth thought.

Gabriel now found himself just on the edge of downtown. He could hear the sounds of battle raging, and decided to see what was happening. So, he sprouted a pair of wings, and flew up, using his paper body to silently travel through the air. Once he made it up to the roof, he started vaulting across, aiming to get to a good position to observe the fighting.

-Easton City Streets-

Copy 4 was about halfway to his destination, when an excruciating pain erupted in his abdomen.

Well, he wouldn't have used such long words to describe it, but you get the point.

"ARGH!" he yelled, and he dropped to his knees.

Just as suddenly as the pain came, it went.

It almost felt like he had been...

Killed.

"...Copy 1, do you read?"

No response.

"...Copy 1, please respond."

Still nothing.

"Damn it."

He sighed, letting a moment of silence pass for his brother.

You would think he would be more torn up about this, but then you don't know how many times he has seen this happen.

Too many times.

They were now trapped in Easton, with nowhere to call home.

He had to get to Rine, and fast.

Winterbloom's Back Room

After politely thanking Misty and answering yes, Miles had waited until he hadn't felt anyone staring at him. Or watching him. Well, to be more exact, he had waited for Jack to inform him that no one was currently observing them, but it was similar enough not to matter.

We're clear. Now, I want to be very, very clear with you, mate. We're not alone here- I'm going to need you to protect me while I'm outside. Got it? I can't do jack without a host, pun not intended.

Miles nodded to himself. "No problem. I'm not sure what you want me to do, but I'll try."

Jack mentally sighed, and Miles brought the bowl of water up to his chest. "I'll never get used to this," he complained, slipping his shirt off.

His chest split open and Jack burst out like something from a horror movie, although there was a distinct absence of blood. The yellow worm-snake slithered out into the cool water, coiling and slithering as the liquid moisturized his scales.

Oh, that's much better. It's like one of you humans taking a dip in the pool after a hundred-degree day, so I've heard, the worm told Miles.

Slipping his shirt back on, the teen snorted and set the bowl down, sitting down cross-legged. "Yeah, except we have legs. And height. And skin."

I have skin. My scales just cover it. Now, keep watch while I soak. And stop looking at me! This is like... taking your shirt off to you, I suppose.

"Whatever. Don't drown," Miles quipped, his eyes scanning the room once again.

-Easton City, Unidentified Parking Lot-

The original Rine was sleeping soundly, despite the chaos happening only a few streets away.

If he had landed just a few streets over, then he wouldn't be sleeping as soundly.

His sleep was momentarily disrupted when an excruciating pain shot through his chest, before it was cut off suddenly.

It felt like death.

He shed a single tear, before fully embracing unconsciousness again.

Demon Slayer ran circles around the man, aiming for his limps and hacking away with blasts of that too thick double-barreled shot gun. The heavy metal samurai eventually brought the man down to just stumps, but he could see that these were growing back. While the man with axes, ridden by his demons, worked on saving the bear man, the Demon Slayer straddled the tigers body to look closer at the state of his soul.

Yasu recoiled at what he saw, but he had known it was a possibility, in the back of his mind. There was nothing left of this man. The invading demon had fed upon the native devils of this man's soul and swallowed the man completely. The skin was it, the only thing keeping the demon from breaking out fully into this world. The skin, stretching, suffering, screaming.

The Demon Slayer stood up and cocked his shotgun. He would save this man. He lowered the weapon, pointing it right at the tiger's head. His mask had no expression other than anger, his armor was so thick is hit his body, but his demeanor managed to look solemn.

He gave the man the last mercy he could offer.

Easton Train Terminals

The trains both made it easier and harder for Simon to shadow Fyodor. Easier because there were so many people, harder because getting on and off the train might alert the boy.

He also noticed the unusual number of ravens everywhere they got off. Definitely had to be connected to him in some way. He redoubled his efforts not to be spotted.

Then, as they walked along the streets, he spotted a familiar rippling in the air.

A dimensional portal!

Well, not quite a portal. It was a natural flaw in the fabric of the multiverse, but his powers allowed him to see and "ride" them between worlds.

Well, finally! He had been stuck on this world for months now. That was unusual. Now he finally had the chance to move on and find some new place to explore.

But what about Hazel, Misty, and this kid? Should he just up and leave? That would be rude, but who knows when the next portal might open?

But then, the choice was taken off his hands.

Something began to emerge through the portal. A reddish-black nearly-shapeless mass, with multiple eyes and lots and lots of teeth. And it began to chew... on the portal.

Simon: "Oh FUUU-!"

Fyodor had just left the train as he suddenly eralized a big *ss bloody monster in the sky. He gulped, starting to cover and just hoping someone with the ability to fight would come. He just quickly went into the next train - but before he could enter said train he saw some teenager trying to rob what looked like a young father with his child. Without hesitating he opened his satchel, putting on a mask made of white leather, shaped like a raven's head. He was suddenly enveloped by shadows - and from those shadows emerged a leather clad figure. "Voron has arrived." Voron pointed at the mugger and sudenly the flcok of ravens attacked from the sky, scratching the mugger as they flew past him. After a few attacks the mugger (now with remarkably torn clothing) decided to just bail. Voron smirked under his mask as the ravens returned to him, a few landing on him.

The bear didn't die. Joseph continued slashing and stabbing with his crimson claws. The vigilante was drenched with blood by now.

"Die, die, die..."

Joseph said these words quietly. The Herald then summoned a hammer and striked down the bear's arms. Then, in quick succession, grabbed his axes which were stuck on its back and leg, and decapitated the bear. He did all this while screaming like a mad animal.

Its head rolled on the floor which was bloody. The Herald dropped his two axes.

"I killed..."

He felt nothing. His sanity was already broken, and his humanity was degrading, inch by inch.

Tears fell from madman's eyes. "David..."

Then he took off at high speed, because then the authorities show up and they don't understand about demons.

Joseph regained his composure after he saw the armor leave. "That armor... It must be similar to me... I feel like this is not going to be the last time I'll meet it. That thumbs up..." Joseph chuckled.

"Anyways, I should be leaving right now..." The Herald left the place, into the shadows. He found a place and quickly changed himself to Robin Robinson. "Is Damien responsible for this? He must be..." Joseph clenched his fist. "Tonight, I'll find out..."

Copy 4 was only a few streets from his destination.

-4, did you feel that? I mean, I nearly headbutted that woman in the middle of my explanation...- came the voice of Copy 3.

"Yes. You... do know what that means, right?"

-...-

-We're... stuck here, aren't we?-

"...Yes."

-Is Copy 1... gone?-

"..."

Copy 3's voice was surprisingly adult the next time he spoke.

-I'll call you back.-

Copy 4 sighed, then carried on his path.

He was so close... wait.

He screeched to a halt.

Someone was next to Rine's pod.

He dimmed the glow in his eyes, and hid in the shadows.
