Traveller's Hub — Alex Selby / ION

Upon getting closer to the arches, he could clearly see that they were not the Rifts he knew.

For one they were bigger. Rifts were a little shorter than a doorway. You would have to duck down to pass through them.

He bit his lip out of nervousness, an irritating habit he had picked up from Kaylee...

Kaylee.

She was battling that thing too. What if she was injured? Or... worse.

He readjusted his backpack. He couldn't worry about that. There was nothing he could do to get home, so he shouldn—

Why was his eyes stinging?

Was he crying?

He shook his head. He had an objective. Explore this place, and find a way to get home.

Staring up determinedly at the large portals, he picked a random one and walked through.

New Rome, Central Station — Alex Selby / ION

He was not expecting the scene on the other side.

Corpses of monsters were strewn about the floor, with quite the colourful group of people standing over them.

He instinctively raised his arm towards them, white electricity dancing and coiling around his limb.

"Care to explain?" he said monotonously.

New Rome

Deciding to put everything to the backburner for now, even the samples of the specimen's corpse still floating around in her Ouroborous' belly, the alchemist simply did as she saw fit and walked on over to Fabiola, a look of slight empathy on her face, as if remembering her own experiences with such all those thousands of years ago. Alchemy had been a new science back then and there were many who would want her knowledge for themselves... it was a time where the weak were culled and only the strong could be safe. And the one known as Cagliostro proved to be the latter.

"It's not always easy the first time few times. Even if you know that they're scum, you're still taking away the life of a sentient being. Still, it's either them or us... and they didn't give us that choice. I'd rather you be able to protect yourself and others from such depravity than to allow the guilt to get to you." Though there were no words of comfort, the firm logic behind those statements felt like they were trying to go a bit too far in assuaging the maid for one who simply wanted to be efficient.

Henry & Abel - New Rome Central Station

"Dire Wraiths, huh?" Henry inquired, putting a hand to his chin. "Never heard of them. They kinda looked like Risen, but those guys were a piece of cake to get rid of!"

Meanwhile, Abel had approached Shantae and approached her from behind, trying to ignore the whole spider thing from earlier, and tapped her shoulder. "Hey, can we go now? You got what you wanted, and I'm really freaking out right now. I just wanna go somewhere normal, please."

Meetra - City Hall

"Possibly," Meetra replied to Banshee. "The greatest way to find out the truth of a city is not to go where its officials wish you to, but rather to venture into the areas they do not wish to draw attention to."

"And you are...?" she added to Caleb.

New Rome - Central Station

Ignoring the newcomer, and the unease of some of the people in the room, Alex turned to Rom, scowling, slipping his hands into his pockets.

"So, is there a way to identify these 'Dire Wraiths' while they're disguised? Because I'd like to know if there's any more of them skulking about." So I can kill them went unsaid but, from his tone, heavily implied.

The irony of the statement wasn't lost on him, but he was too angry to reflect on it. He wouldn't let another disaster like Redlight happen here.

What is so amusing about this? Why do you take lives? How can you forget?

They didn't seem to be paying much mind to him for now, as they were in the middle of a conversation, presumably about the monstrous corpses.

He relaxed his posture a little, lowering his hand and slipping the other into his pocket as they hadn't shown they were hostile. He still let the electricity course through his arm, ready to fire a shot if they made the wrong move.

Fabiola, Post-Battle

Cagliostro's words of encouragement were something she knew deep down, but they were welcome nonetheless. "I... I suppose I just did not expect this to happen so soon." She muttered, looking at the remains of Dire Wraiths before shaking her head. "Though I carry all these weapons, they are for protection, not for killing."

"And yet... when we were not the wiser, I still let my rage get the better of me and fire upon that man" She gestured towards Rom. "with killing intent. The only excuse I can think of is that his attacks were so terrifyingly lethal there was no time for smaller measures, but even that feels forced."

"Forgive me, I did let it get to me for a moment." Fabiola smiled at Cagliostro, but the smile still wasn't too certain. "I might need a moment to get over it, but I should be fine. Thank you." Then her attention was piqued by the newcomer. "Ah, hello there. A new arrival?"


Caleb, That's Just Rude

   "I literally introduced myself five minutes ago."    He couldn't help letting some of his annoyance shine through the seemingly flat response.    "It's Caleb. You two?"

Ahoy City — Sweet Mask

He frowned at Caleb's mention of the name, briefly tuning out of the rest of the conversation.

"Tchernobog... interesting."

It sounded like a powerful monster, if it had sent Caleb here. Potentially Dragon or higher.

A vein twitched in his forehead instinctively at the thought of such a creature.

Suddenly realising how engrossed he was in his little chat, he threw an apologetic look towards Meetra and Banshee.

"Sorry... got caught up. Caleb is an... interesting, individual, to say the least."

New Rome, Central Station — Alex Selby / ION

Hesitantly, he let the electricity dissipate as the woman spoke. She seemed nice enough, and being overly defensive would just alienate them.

Plus some of these guys didn't look like people to dare agitate.

"Y-Yeah. Name's... ION. So... what happened here?"

Giving out his alias instead of his real name was probably unnecessary, but he didn't feel comfortable enough to give them anything more than that.

Kaylee had been a big confidence booster, but since she wasn't here, it made these situations much more difficult for him.

New Rome: Central Station

Doomguy looked at the easily dealt with piles of ash and gore, then back to Rom. Then back to what little of the remain of the corpses, and shook his head, before following up with a shrug. Then he looked at some of the cowering civilians who hadn't involved themself but hadn't quite fully evacuated and froze. He could handle himself and so could clearly most of the others who aided in this little scuffle, but those bystanders didn't seem nearly so capable.

He gestured towards the shapeshifter who asked for some way to track the other shapeshifters and nodded his head, to second the request. He barely spared the new comer a glance given how quickly the man stood down from his semi-threatening greeting.

New Rome

"Not a problem, young lady. I just want you to be in tip top shape so you don't slow us down." Harrumphing and folding her arms while looking slightly away from the maid's general direction with a slightly awkward expression on her face, the alchemist decided to busy herself and be useful by having her dear Ouroboros devour what was left of the chunks of garrulous genetic matter scattered about.

"These things are indeed pretty interesting... still, they're disgusting and akin to invasive species as it were. We may need to cull these... Dire Wraiths before they become like vermin and make more of themselves." Speaking as though she was out on a jaunt and not dealing with extraterrestrial menaces, the child-woman began writing down the various characteristics in one of the books she carried about on her person. A proper lab was needed for the rest of the investigation but rudimentary detective work could be done at the moment.

Ochaco took a deep breath in the aftermath of the brief battle. It was all a little much to take in, but in all, she'd been through worse, none of the building got leveled and nobody seemed to be injured.

"Space Knight?" Ochaco said, perhaps a little more excitedly than a regular school girl should in this kind of situation as she quickly approached Rom "Then, did you come here on a space ship? Does that mean those Wraiths came here from space too?"

New Rome station

Shantae winced back when the first Dire Wraith was destroyed, then kept her eyes shut and winked back until Rom escaped from his bindings. He explained who he was and why he was here— to destroy those... things. Shantae shuddered.

"So, those people you blew up earlier... they weren't people? Oh my... well, there's gotta be a way to stop these things! And how can you tell who's a Dire Wraith and who isn't?" she asked. At that point, Abel tapped her on the shoulder, asking if he could get going. Shantae frowned and shook her head.

"I don't think Risky Boots is here," Shantae muttered. "She would probably stay near the coast. And I don't know what's normal to you. This whole thing certainly isn't for me," she admitted. "Meeting Space Knights and fighting shapeshifting blob creatures certainly isn't."

"They are shapeshifters - parasites, explained Rom, flipping out his Neutralizer and examining it, making sure that it hadn't taken any serious damage. "They wield foul magicks that let them infiltrate civilizations, bring them down from within''. My "Analyzer-" here, he briefly summoned the device from his palm for demonstration purposes, "can root them out. But they are intelligent, and forever searching for ways to subvert the weaponry of my order. Because I - we - are devoted to hunting down Dire Wraiths on every world, in every galaxy."

Rom paused and looked around, mindful of just how far from home he really was.

"And in every universe."

Abel & Henry - New Rom(e) Central Station

"Yeah, well, normal or not, I'm out of here. I didn't come all the way here just to get caught up in some sci-fi comic book story." Abel muttered, watching Rom explain his ordeal with little interest but plenty of fear. "So I'm leaving. With or without you." And so, he made his way back to the Hub.

"Wait, so there could be monsters in Ylisse?" Henry asked, looking shocked, but not as much as you'd expect from someone who just learned that his entire universe could be in danger. "But we just got done saving it! Grima was no easy thing to kill, lemme tell ya! I mean, I'd definitely enjoy watching the world burn, but not my world!"

New Rome

Shantae thought for a moment, looking worried about what Rom had been saying, and then the man in the cloak vocalizing her fear. She nodded.

"Yeah, I'm starting to worry about that too. What if these Wraiths attack Sequin Land? Imagine trying to fight something that pretends to be your friends! I don't know what I'd do!" At this moment, Shantae noticed out of the corner of her eye that Abel started to skulk off, sounding upset. Shantae looked concerned, then walked after Abel, ending up in front of him. She stopped and put her hands behind her back, smiling cutely.

"Aww, Abel. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to upset you," Shantae told him. "Tell you what. Follow me and we can find something to eat together like you asked! What do you say?" she giggled, a wide, friendly smile on her face.

New Rome - Central Station

The last one of the creatures met a gruesome end at the hands of someone who seemed to have some kind of super strenght quirk. Tokoyami couldn't help but flinch once he saw all the chunks of flesh and what was left of the corpse, but at least now the fighting was over. With the man in the silver armor freed, he began explaining what was happening. Not only was he apparently from space and so were the opponents that were killed just now, but he explained what exactly they were dealing with: things called Dire Wraiths. The whole thing seemed like something right out of a comic book, but the idea of shapeshifting aliens infiltrating other civilizations through the entire universe and destroying it from the inside...

"Do you have any more of those analyzers?" Tokoyami asked as he began approaching Rom, Dark Shadow retreating back into him as he went, "As much experience as you might have fighting them, you're still just one man. As a hero, I am more than willing to assist you in stopping these monsters from causing any more harm as best as I can," he spoke with no hesitation.

It was a far bigger scope than anything even All Might had dealt with, but with a situation sounding as serious as this, he couldn't possibly just stand idly and do nothing. Others were already pointing out the possibility of those things invading their homes as well, so it was better to deal with them before they could spread out further.

"Right Tokoyami. I'm sure they'd understand us being late for our internships for something like this, even if we knew how to get home." Ochaco said with a nod towards the bird headed teen "Though it'd be nice if we could get some more heroes to help, Todoroki's Quirk would be really helpful if even touching a Wrath is dangerous"

New Rome - Central Station

So these Wraiths could have found his home universe? Heh. He doubted they were worse than what Greene did. And even if they tried, Blackwatch wasn't completely incompetent - they'd contain the things. At least, that's what he told himself, as he tried not to think of- no. Dana would be fine. She'd be fine without him.

"What they said," Alex nodded to the teenage heroes. "I'm not a hero, but unlike you I can apparently punch those things without anything bad happening to me." He studied his hand a moment. "Of course, if they're all that weak, you probably won't need help fighting them." He glanced towards the ash that had been a monster and made a mental note to try and consume one next time. Maybe he could use their DNA to make some kind of 'Wraith-detecting vision'. Worth a shot.

Dar, via Banshee — Ahoy City Funtime with Meetra and Caleb

The Banshee moved its eyeless gaze to Caleb. "Tenno," it said. Back in her Orbiter, Dar grimaced. This guy sounded about as pleasant as listening to Phorid's screams (though he lacked the latter's large, red forehead). That said, she had her Warframe ignore Caleb in favour of Meetra. "Let's go," it said.

Ahoy City

The group in the city might be able to spot what seemed to be a golden, rather regal looking flying capsule in the sky. It suddenly seemed to short circuit and began falling, heading not towards the group directly, but near them. It crashed into the ground and continued moving forward until it hit a wall. Looking at it would reveal that inside the glass cockpit, which somehow didn't break with the impact, there was a blonde little girl inside. The cockpit opened and she began crawling out of it, looking dazed.

"New Rome, Infodump Time'

"This analyzer is integrated into my crystalline armor - I fear that I am unable to produce additional copies of it," admitted Rom as he flicked the gizmo away, panels and pieces sliding back down into the shining armor.

"These were advance scouts," he said, stepping on top of the pile of smouldering viscera that had once been a Wraith and grinding its remains into the floor, "I fear that they will deduce that we have learned about their presence in this... world-between-worlds - and Dire Wraiths are willing to adapt their tactics accordingly. They may go underground for a time, but...."

Abel & Henry - New Rome Central Station - One Of These Characters Has Found True Love, Try To Figure Out Which One

Welp.

All these months—years, maybe—spent building this cool and nonchalant facade to hide the fact he had a snake made of his eyeball was instantly broken down by a girl with a cute smile.

Abel looked...shocked. Sort of. His cheeks were red, but he was giving Shantae this blank 1,000 yard stare that implied his brain shut off completely and he was probably dead. After a few more seconds of awkward silence, he coughed into his hand and looked away.

"Yeah, sure, why not."

Henry looked fascinated by this new revelation. "So there are different kinds of them?! They basically are just Risen! I can take care of these things, no problem! Hey, let's go right now and find them and kill them!"

Caleb, Oh Hey

   "You make it sound like I'm a bad guy."    Caleb replied to Harry with a half-mocking scoff.    "I assure you, as long you're not out for my blood, I don't really have a reason to go after yours. It's called common courtesy."   

Brave Little Toaster proved rather taciturn, and then an UFO came crashing nearby and at this point Caleb found himself slowly desensitizing to the weirdness. At least, more than he was usually used to.    "You okay over there?"    He called to the girl, not really that concerned in the first place.


Fabiola, On Dire Wraiths

"Right! I'll do my best." The maid took the backhanded compliment from Cagliostro in stride, focus and purpose renewed. She turned to listen to Rom talk about the Dire Wraiths, but her newfound good mood quickly dispersed. It seemed like this was a very dire strait, no pun intended.

Apparently, the silver knight was unable to procure more of his scanners for them. Henry's enthusiasm she decided to ignore, mostly to preserve her calm. A newcomer's question caught her attention this time. "We fought a powerful, unknown foe." She explained to ION, nodding hello. "A foe that may be everywhere." Now that was a paranoia-inducing thought.

"Mr. Rom" She turned to the silver knight. "I would like to assist in fighting these Dire Wraiths as well, but we will need more information; chiefly, if there are any other ways to differentiate them from men."

Ahoy City — Sweet Mask

"Harry" chuckled, walking past Caleb and placing a hand on his shoulder as he walked by.

"Fair enough. But I can tell you're not exactly a paragon. Just be careful around certain people. Some of these guys bite."

Any further conversation was interrupted by the sound of something crashing nearby. He ran towards the disturbance at an inhuman speed, stopping when he saw the young girl crawling out of the wreckage.

His instincts spent fighting monsters told him to execute the girl, like the captured aliens from the City A disaster. But something held him back.

Perhaps it was the fact she looked more human. Or maybe his heroic, stage persona was coming through.

Or perhaps it was a more selfish reason; to not ruin the tiny, insignificant reputation he had built up.

Whatever the reason was, he found himself kneeling near the girl, scanning for injuries.

"Are you alright?"

New Rome, Central Station — Alex Selby / ION

A foe that may be everywhere?

That didn't sound good.

Extraordinarily powerful, too.

The horrifying thought of Zol returning crossed his mind, but he pushed it aside. That... thing, had been killed. Torn to shreds. This had to be different.

What's more, the creature could not travel to different dimensions, thank goodness, so unless it had recently absorbed a dimensional travelling Enhanced, it was out of the question.

The fact that the woman referred to them as "Dire Wraiths" brought him a sense of immense relief. He could not face a being of that power again.

"If it is no trouble, I would like to assist too. I have some experience fighting powerful foes, and I get the feeling that you'll need all the help you can get."

He neglected to mention that said "powerful foe" wiped the floor with him, but he at least had some dignity to keep hold of.

New Rome

"The Wraiths come in a plethora of foul forms," explained Rom as he looked around the empty station and the smouldering remains of the two Wraiths they had managed to defeat. "These were simple mutates - footsoldiers of their kind. They were likely infected by others and replaced the human."

Rom set off towards the entrance, motioning for those interested to follow. "But there are more breeds - some more intelligent, more specialized, more proficient in the arts of dark magic. Chief among them are the Sorcerors - wielding the darkest arts. Some are airborne - others victims, forced into servitude as bloodhounds for the Wraiths. They are ever-mutating, ever-changing in their loathsome tactics. I have heard of a mythical human creature called the hydra - cut off one head, fight off two more. That is my foe - and, if you choose to stand with me... your foe as well. It is not a battle one undertakes lightly," he said, nodding at the others who had professed a desire to attack the Wraiths.
