-Easton City, Unidentified Parking Lot-
Copy 4 slowly sneaked around to the side of the lot, hoping to get a good look at the stranger. He may be able to determine whether or not she (he assumed it was a she) was a threat.
All suspicions left, however, when she appeared to be absolutely childlike with excitement.
Huh.
In that case, unless she was playing him for a fool, he might as well tell her what's going on.
He wondered why she didn't see- oh.
She was wearing a blindfold.
That was probably why.
He might as well say hello.
He walked out of the shadows, his eyes reigniting that neon white.

borkEaston, parking lot.
Elizabeth noticed a presence, and turned around to see a man. He seemed ordinary enough, except for his glowing eyes. Elizabeth then realized that the pod and the man were somehow connected.
"Um, are you here for this pod? Do you know what... or who's in there? Your wife, your baby, your pet or is it something else? Oh, I'm sorry. I got too excited..."
Her voice was smooth, almost calming, even when she was geeking out over a potential science-fiction entity.
"Also... do you mind if I ask something? Are you an alien? Or maybe a time-traveler?"

Well, at least she was friendly.
"Er, yes that is to do with me. As for what's in it, it's... well, also me. Long story, but he cannot come out just yet. I have to get him someplace safe, before the Parasites get to him."
"And no, I'm no time traveller. Just a dimension hopper. But seriously, I need to get him somewhere safe."

borkEaston, near the pod.
"Um, I have a home here, so that I could stay here for a long time. I was actually looking for a friend, but I can help you. My house has much space for three of us. Also, did you say that... you're inside that pod? Does that mean that you're a clone? And you're also a dimension-hopper? And what are the Parasites?" She approached the man closer and closer as if to observe him somehow. Her voice was being constantly filled with excitement and wonder "I'm sorry, I got excited again..."

Copy 4 was speechless.
"Um..."
Thankfully, a Parasite interrupted the scene.
Wait, no, that isn't good.
"Quick! Lead the way! I'll grab the pod!"
"Phew, that was clo- Oh that thing is ugly. We better get moving." he thought to himself.
He picked up the pod, lifting above his head, getting ready to run.

borkEaston, the same place.
Elizabeth saw a monster ripping itself through a hole in the reality. It looked like a person with a back that showed its insides and a scorpion tail. The Crusader saw something... unusual. It was more like a beast than a human, so she couldn't see what sin it had, except for gluttony. "I see... It wants to consume everything... I will not let it do that."
Elizabeth summoned her shining shield and sword. "Go to the Amber Street! I'll be there soon!" - she said to the man.
But she wasn't sure if she would meet him there. Elizabeth didn't know the monster's strengths and weaknesses. It was a perfect opportunity to die and join her sister... "No, not now! Not until I help this person and find the answers!" - Elizabeth thought to herself, and then, she lunged at the monster to attack. Not knowing what that monster was brought her fear, but she overcame it, as she had faced worse things before: cruelty of men. And... Elizabeth muttered to herself:
"May God be with me and that man."

Heaving the pod above his head, Copy 4 listened to the woman's instructions, before running off leaving her alone with th-
Wait.
What the hell was he doing?
It was clear that woman had never seen the Parasites before, he couldn't just leave her without some form of help.
He wasn't assuming that she couldn't handle it, he was concerned because even he could barely handle them.
He braced himself, and threw the pod several feet into the air, quickly bringing up his hand, and forming a plasma shot. He fired at the Parasite, aiming at it's mouth.
Whether he hit or not he wasn't sure, as he had to catch the pod as it flew down towards him.
Thankfully, the pod was light, being made out of Hardlite, it's weight was like a feather. So he caught it with ease.
He ran off to where the woman told him to go, having memorised the street names on his way to the lot.
He just hoped his shot had been a help and not a hindrance.
borkGabriel had managed to catch the sounds of people talking. Curious, he started to move to check it out.
He found a parking lot nearby. He saw a man and woman talking. One looked like he was from the fight with the rodents. Gabriel grimaced a bit though. He was feeling uncomfortable, and was getting bored again.
Please allow me to introduce myself, I am a man of wealth and taste. Nice to meet you, hope you can guess my name.Easton, parking lot.
The plasma hit the monster's gaping mouth and it screamed. Elizabeth found it a perfect chance to hit it. "God, grant thy strength to me, so that I can banish evil from the face of this Earth." Elizabeth formed a golden aura around her, and charged at the screaming monster, with her sword forward and shield guarding her head. The monster, however, managed to bite her arm. Elizabeth bit her mouth to not let out the scream. She did not want to worry that man, she did not want him to come back here. The Crusader stabbed its head with her shield, and managed to escape its grip.
She could only use one arm now, and that arm was holding a shield. She threw her shield towards the monster. It struck him and came back to her arm. "The power of the shield is too weak to kill this monster. I need a sword, but I can't use my right arm. Or maybe... I can use its tail as a weapon. But, first, I'll have to tear it off with my shield."
She closed her eyes, regained her composure and began to strike, like a holy warrior that defended France from England.

Most people would have run away screaming in terror at the monstrosity seemingly poking out of "thin air".
Simon Jones did scream, but in anger: "NO! No no no no!!" DON'T EAT THAT YOU @$$#/#!!"
He looked for a weapon but found only a trash can. So he picked it up and threw it the monster.
It bounced off like a basketball.
Desperately, he looked through his alchemical power triggers hoping to find something that could give him the power to fight this thing, but it was too late- the dimensional flaw shrank away and disappeared.
Worse, the monster was still here.
Simon sighed. He looked around for Fyodor, but didn't see him. Oh well maybe it was for the better.
As the alien blob began to crawl away, Simon yanked his cellphone out. "Hazel!! Some sort of- creature just entered this universe through a portal. Is Mongrel still there? Tell him to come over to (insert address here) QUICK!!!"
A spooky old Mansion, location unknown
The middle-aged man was furious. Both at himself, for having failed in his duty, and because, of all the books that could have been stolen, it had to be that one.
The one with the demon.
He began to draw symbols with pitch on the floor of the library. Then he set them alight.
He then said a few words in some old language.
A creature resembling an imp appeared in a puff of smoke.
"Find the book" the man told it. "Let me know what has happened to it. If the demon is loose, do not attack it. You're no match for it."
The tiny demon nodded, then flew out a window.

-Easton City Streets-
Copy 4 was currently running for his life.
The Parasites seemed to have found a weakness in the construction of this dimension, as they were, quite literally mind you, crawling out of the woodwork.
If that wasn't terrifying enough, they seemed to have gotten smarter.
Not all of them, mind you, but there was definitely a lot more skill shown in their hunting.
They were trying to flank him, cut him off, box him in...
If this goes on, they will soon be able to speak.
Copy 4 tried not to think about it, and focused on getting to his destination.
That was until he was trapped with them surrounding him on all sides.
He was furious.
First, the death of Copy 1, then the disappearence of Copy 2...
It was getting to him.
His eyes seemed to catch fire, with that strange, bluish-white light, and his voice dropped a few octaves.
Get the hell out of my way.
They didn't listen.
He wasn't expecting them to.
He hoped that woman had finished fighting that Parasite.
He hoped that she wasn't in the same situation as him.
However, hope can only go so far.

Elizabeth threw her shield at the wall. It bounced off and cut the scorpion tail. Crusader, with a great speed, grabbed the tail. She dodged its attacks, then, when she saw an opening, stabbed it with all her might. Immediately, she grabbed her sword and plunged it into its head. The monster cried, before it died. "Could they have been redeemed? Or was it a creature made out of only gluttony? Anyways, I have to go to him."
Elizabeth went to the address she said... and saw that man, surrounded by monsters. One looked like an eyeball with arms, another a human head full of eyes... Their appearances varied, and their numbers were many... The same creatures of gluttony.

Hazel was unable to respond to Simon's call, due to having passed out in her bedroom, but Misty got his message.
"Mongrel? Simon needs your help. There's some kind of otherdimensional monster attack going on downtown."
She 'ported to the back room, a hand covering her eyes so as to give Miles his privacy.
"Miles? There's an otherdimensional monster attack downtown. I think Mongrel's going to help Simon, so if you want to go help, now's the time to do it."
Downtown
Dynamo Lass was currently on her way back to the apartment. Her appearance on Break Time was pretty much dead, so she might as well go home and wait for her dad to yell at her.
Annoyance, embarrassment, and curdled anger turned to relief when she saw some kind of monster poke its head out of thin air.
Something to fight. Thank god.
She launched a massive red plasmoid at the monster. Once it hit him, it would explode in a flurry of smaller plasmoids.
Easton City, Near Train Station
Voron nodded silently as he saw the mugger flee. He was enveloped in shadows again before Fyodor stepped out of it - as he did so he noticed the train he needed to take was about to leave and hastily ran to it.

After his little outburst, Copy 4 had a better look at the Parasites.
They were different.
They used to be similar, sharing a black, oily skin, with two tiny red eyes, and a grin that even the Cheshire Cat would think was too wide.
They looked so different from each other now.
Some looked humanoid, some looked... not as much.
One looked like it was made of teeth.
Another had an unnaturally long neck, and was looking down at him.
One looked like that woman from the— wait, no. That was that woman.
He couldn't call for backup.
There was no backup, except for—
Oh.
He contacted Copy 3, making sure to speak quietly, as to not startle the beasts.
"3"
-Heya, just finished explaining to that—-
"3, I need backup. Now."
-I can't leave at the minute, I'm occupi—-
Right. NOW.
-...I'll be there as quick as I can. Hold on.-
borkEaston, where Parasites were.
"Helping you!" Elizabeth said. Again, her death wish has forced to make this choice, but it was for the best. It was better for her to be harmed than he.
Her plan was this: draw these monsters attentions, while he would run away. Just like a few minutes ago.

What was this woman doing? She's going to get herself ki—
Oh.
The look on her face was not of fear, or even courage.
She wanted this.
Why did she want this?
He refused.
He will not let anyone die again.
He would...
He couldn't. It was supposed to be a work in progress.
He would have to.
He lifted his hand, aiming towards a nearby car.
Instead of a plasma shot, however, the car seemed to grow blue, vein-like patterns.
He slowly raised his hand, straining as he went.
The car too, slowly raised up.

Elizabeth noticed that the man was trying to use his powers. She decided to increase his capabilities by blessing him. Her shield became a barrier that could prevent any damage for a time being. The monsters started attacking the barrier.
"Our Lord and Savior, grant that man a strength to protect himself from the evils that surround him right now..." The golden light went to the man and the golden aura surrounded him. "He should be stronger now..."

"Wait, what? Did you say a-"
Monster attack? What the hell goes on in this town? Jack exclaimed, his mental voice reaching out to everyone in the room.
"Well, yeah, I want to help, I guess. But do you guys have anything I could use?" Miles asked, snatching up Jack and shoving him into his arm. The snake grumbled, but slithered back into his skin anyhow.
"I mean, I don't like Simon that much, but I don't think he'd appreciate having me show up and punch whatever's out there to death with my bare hands," Miles pointed out.
And you can't see any other reasons why this wouldn't work out? Jack snarked. He'd abandoned any pretense of hiding his identity, now. He was much too confused.

Copy 4 had barely lifted it, and already his systems were shutting down.
Until the woman did... something.
Suddenly, he felt a surge of power.
Taking the opportunity, he threw the Hardlite car as hard as he could towards the Parasite army, hopefully taking some out. He also increased the car's density, just to be on the safe side.
Whether or not it actually did anything, he couldn't tell, as Copy 3 had arrived in his gas form.
Finally.
borkGabriel was now very interested helping out. He wasn't sure how though. Perhaps he could simply fly down and have a look? He needed something to do.
But, with the people leaving, he decided to just fly away for now, and go somewhere else. Who cared where he went? As long as he was able to hide and stay out of sight, he was fine.

Easton, near the pod.
Elizabeth arrived at the crash site of the pod. It seemed that nothing came out yet. Yet... "Well... if something that is inside this pod was hostile, then it would have come out instantly. So, I think it's safe to say that this pod is harmless."
"Wait... There must be either an alien... or a time-traveler here!"
To say that Elizabeth was excited would be an understatement. She always enjoyed watching movies like Terminator, Back to the Future, or playing games like Dead Space. Elizabeth was always a fan of aliens, time travelers and other science fiction works. It would be the first time to see something like it with her own eyes... Then Elizabeth remembered that she lost her eyes. But still, she could see and that was all that mattered.
"Should I open it somewhat? No, no, no, no. I have to wait, and he may get out naked... Oh, what am I thinking about?! Stupid, stupid, stupid... At least the people are safe. I'll have to wait until something gets out, just to be safe." And so, The Crusader decided to stay until a thing got out of the pod, whether it was an alien, a time-traveler, something in between, like a child waiting for a Christmas present.
