"It's Portuguese. I learned it in East Timor when FALINTIL took me in." Spriggan replied. "Lot of noise couldn't keep me sleeping when I was doing so well."

“No, that was really short, but considering it was my second challenge, I don’t really have the experience. The last challenge had us fighting an allied group of non-humans who had declared genocidal holy war against the human race and was currently trying to exterminate a planet of seven hundred million civilians. So yeah…it was a tad…intense.” Subaru said dryly.

Rey nodded. "They're similar. If I get shocked in the head again, you'll probably be able to translate for me."

Gordon coughed. "Nah, the H.E.V suit can take the impact."

Blink looked positively ecstatic. "It's nice to meet you Miss Luxanna!"

"Oh, dear. The toad, the monkey, and the dog have all screwed up."

"That oughta be interesting." Spriggan smirked before he spoke to Subaru. "Nice to see you're doing fine, Ms. Subaru."

He faced Luxanna. "When did she arrive?" The masked teen donned his black Swiss MP beret.

Apparently the two foreign-tongued individuals could also speak a language she was familiar with. This was a relief. Diplomacy was very difficult over insurmountable lingual barriers.

The latter of those individuals was also much younger than the first, and seemed to carry a weapon that appeared to be a much more streamlined variant of the interesting slugthrower fellow Institute champion Caitlyn wielded. while Caitlyn had a reputation for being an extremely good shot, she wondered how this young one would hold up to that high standard. Luxanna hoped she wouldn't find out by being the target.

A singed-smelling boy walked up to her, and asked her if she was a mage. She smiled sweetly at him in return, "Yes, I am, is that uncommon here?" She held her wand behind her back, as if protectively, but she did not try to hide it.

The foreign boy seemed a bit aggressive. He asked the others when she arrived and seemed to adjust his garments in a manner Lux felt somewhat hostile, donning some helm of authority or somesuch. This coincided perfectly with the last shimmers of her shield falling away. Sometimes Fate just wanted her to feel vulnerable.

Dis Baba's eyes narrowed at Subaru's words. "Yes, I saw that. A terrible thing, religious faith; in its name, sentients willingly commit the most horrific atrocities. It is for this reason that the Kin no longer endorse such things, for belief in the unknown and faith in the supernatural, the nonexistant, breeds discontent."

The Kin turned to face Spriggan. "She arrived not five klekkets ago, something you would have known had you not wandered off."

Ravage padded away in disgust, having no interest in watching these fools mob yet another newcomer with inane questions—especially when said newcomer was also another one of those filthy apes.

Naoto moved closer to the new arrival and held out her hand to the other girl. "Greetings, I am Detective Naoto Shirogane. Have you been filled in on our predicament yet?" She asked.

"Yes, it is lonely being a mage in a place full of tech users." The pink haired Natsu said, grinning at Luxanna. "I belong to the strongest Mage Guild in Earthland, Fairy Tail." He stretched out one hand for a friendly handshake while with the other one he proceeded to eat flames he took out of his pants pockets. He munched on the fire like a turnip, actually leaving bite marks in the flickering ball of heated gas. "See, this is the tattoo that shows I'm part of the guild." He pointed to his chest where it showed a black emblem of a dancing fairy with a tail on his right pec.

Dex-Starr really, REALLY did not enjoy the suddenly drop. He would have slathered Cinnamon in the Red Light, but the drop so unexpectedly he only manage to react after everyone was above the floor of the common room. He flew off Naota's lap and floated bit, mildly amused at the rest of the Champion's impact with the floor.

The cat then flew towards the newcomer Luxanna, and landed on her head flopping upon her head like a badly made hat.

“Not uncommon, I’m a mage as well. Magic and technology it seems don’t really matter at times. We’ve kept a fairly good balance going between us.” Subaru said, shrugging. Then she turned to look around,

“So…now that the uh…dating thing…is done with, what now? Another challenge?”

Then she saw the cat land on the newcomer and froze.

Rey glanced to Dis Baba, raising his eyebrows slightly, then shook his head a little, going over to his ring in the corner and hefting himself into it, flipping forward over the ropes and onto the mat, sitting down and getting comfortable.

"I had to catch some sleep." Spriggan told Dis Baba. "I was staring to feel sleepy so I had to go."

He told Subaru. "Most likely so as the Nomads won't be bored."

The TGS agent introduced himself to Luxanna. "Greetings. Agent Spriggan of the security specialist company Trans Global Specialist Inc."

A sudden weight on her head startled her, her lurch back ensured the cat fell forward, and she hastily made to catch it. She adjusted it so it was comfortably cradled in her arms, then knelt down to pick up the hairband it had dislodged. Seeing a much larger creature stalk away, she had run the full gamut of sizes; a comparatively minuscule tiger, only waist-high, a normal sized housecat, then a larger-than-life jungle cat who she was not introduced to. She would introduce herself to that one later, all the felines here were so friendly, she'd like to know that one better.

She nodded and shook Naoto's hand (carefully balancing the cat in the other arm) as Natsu spoke of his history, though as he appeared to eat a flame like a fruit she had to glance at him just to believe what she was seeing. Subaru spoke up, and she looked to the voice, missing Natsu showing off his tattoo. She did not catch the comments on the previous challenge at all, which for now is favorable, when the topic came up again she would probably fall on the wrong side of it.

The boy she felt vaguely threatened by before had a brief exchange with Dis Baba, then properly introduced himself to her. She nodded back at him and smiled "Luxanna Crownguard, Damacia Covert Ops. From the sound of your title I suppose we'd be on opposite sides of the battlefield had we met under different circumstances."

Dis Baba tilted his head at Spriggan's words, seemingly confused. "Your kind needs to rest after so little time and practically no exertion? That is...not quite what I would have expected."

The alien looked like he would have said more, but at that moment the lights in the Common Room flickered as a loud BOOM came from the roof, shaking the entire chamber for a brief moment. He frowned, casting a glance towards the ceiling. "What was that?"


Ravage had just reached the hallway and had been heading for his room; he had no interest in communing with the others, especially when there were other matters that needed his attention. Little time had passed since the beginning of the challenge, far less than he would have liked, but enough had ellapsed that the Predacon felt reasonably certain his little project was due for a check-up.

He paused as a sudden vibration shook the complex, but passed it off as nothing; he was about to enter his room when his onboard computer suddenly spoke up, its cool, feminine words making his mechfluid run cold.

Ravage turned towards the Common Room, his lips peeling back in a feral snarl. Maximals, here? How could this have happened?

"I did need to as I need an all nighter prior to my supposed deployment to Georgia."

Spriggan told Dis Baba before he replied to Luxanna. "It's quite a long story as to how I was working for a security company's black ops unit."

These Nomads, their taste in hospitality is almost...Youkai-like.

Yuuka gracefully floated back onto the Common Room floor, her clothes fluttering gently in the downward breeze. There seemed to be another newcomer, and a mage at that. The words black-white came to mind at first glance....

Yuuka floated over to one side of the room, where she promptly sat cross legged in midair, once again, but not bothering to conjure a seat. Deep, almost jewel-like red eyes began to scrutinize the group of challengers yet again. Her eyes drifted upwards to the noise. Maybe a warmup?

Rey looked around at the bang, then slid out of the ring and under it, going into hiding once again.

"Ah! Black ops... I thought you were part of a counter-espionage force, with 'security' in your title and all. My apolo-"

A loud crunch from the ceiling interrupted her almost-completed sentence. Luxanna looked up sharply as she dropped back into a crouch, setting the cat on the ground and tagging it with her wand for another shield. She raised it above her head and tagged everyone she could reach from her position, adding hastily "Sorry! Just a precaution!"

After the way she met these people, she felt the ceiling was a dangerous entity on it's own merits. Didn't hurt to be prepared.

"Get down..."

Spriggan knelt down upon hearing the booming sound.

"What was that?"

At the boom Subaru glanced upwards.

“What the…Mach Caliber, Set Up!” A light flashed around Subaru and she was standing in her barrier jacket in a second. Still staring at the room, Subaru slowly turned, trying to figure out the location of the boom.

What was that?” She asked, her fist raised with Revolver Knuckle ready.

Dex-Starr heard the explosion. After the newcomer place him on the ground, instead of panicking, he merely tensed up, tail raised, and glowing bright red, like the predator he is about to pounce on an unsuspecting prey......

He growled, red acidic dripping from his mouth, ready to spew it upon the incoming enemy.....

"Thanks for the save."

Naoto knelt down and looked up, reaching into her pocket and pulling out her pistol. She looked around for what was causing this and staying on her guard.

—Saren Arterius looked towards the origin of the impact, his visor flickering green. The nodes built into his armour slow their pulse, blue miasma flowing between them. —

Battle-ready.

"He could not know it. For it was not all a joke."
