A Game of Gods: A Multiversal Challenge

"Ah, I can see you are both logical humans, may i have the pleasure of knowing your names?"

(The ones who went in the portals really should wait until Crow gives us the next plot post. We don't have anything to go on right now.)

"Looks like it."

Well, I'm trained to work in a squad, so...

"Right then..."

With that, Roach shouldered his ACR, and stepped through the Group portal.

A meteor sailed through the skies. It crashed towards the ground, the meteoroid encased in blazes. It crashed on the roof, sending ash and dust flying everywhere and leaving a hole where part of the ceiling had been.

Kraft was about to respond when Jorge collided with Ravage, and then the techno-organic machine had went through a portal.

"I believe that entering the 'Group' portal will give us the best chance of survival."

Just as he finished speaking, something crashed into the restaurant. Activating his cannon with another clack, he whirled around to face it.

"Identify yourself."

"IDENTIFY YOURSELF." Mecha Sonic activated his blaster. "I AM A FUSION OF METAL SONIC UNITS BETA-1, BETA-2, BETA-3. NEW DESIGNATION: MECHA SONIC"

"Commander of the Neo Arcadian Einherjar Eight Warriors, Kraft." Kraft tensed at the blaster being pointed at him, but he felt that this situation could still be defused.

"ALLY OR ENEMY?"

"Ally, hopefully." Kraft really did not want to have more enemies than he already had.

"GOOD." Mecha Sonic looked at the doors. "ASSESSMENT: UNIT IS PROGRAMMED FOR SURVIVAL IN CASE OF ISOLATION..." He blasted the wall to demonstrate. "BUT TEAMWORK IS MORE STRATEGIC."

Kraft powered down his cannon and looked back at the portals.

"Well... I guess that definitely means we're going through the 'Group' portal."

He began walking toward it.

Mecha Sonic began to walk towards it too.

Hahli paused. After a few moments of decision, she decided to enter through the 'group' portal, before the one called Metal Sonic had arrived.

Mecha Sonic used his Super-Speed to home in on the door.

UNKNOWN TERRAIN

UNIT LOCATION UNKNOWN

Kraft entered the portal with little fanfare.

As soon as Hahli entered the lefthand portal, she found herself encased in darkness. She spun, choking on the all-encompassing shadows as he tried to get out- she was suffocating, smothered in darkness, furiously thrashing around. Was this it? she wondered to herself. Was this how she would die?

The Tantive IV shuddered again as the turbolaser fire of the Star Destroyer slams into its aft engines. Inside, the atmosphere was tense-soldiers equipped with pistols running back and forth, as a handful of droids hurried to escape the inevitable firefight that will ensue. A second blast rocks the ship, and the humanoid golden one raises his hands in defeeat. "Do you hear that?" he said to his shorter, treaded compatriot, who whistled and beeped in response.

"They've shut down the main reactor!" he exclaimed in horror. "We'll be destroyed for sure. This is madness!" His companion chirped something again in his untranslatable machine-language.

"We're doomed," said the golden one. "There'll be no escape for the Princess this time."

The atmosphere in the ship was tense- soldiers took up firing positions in front of an airlock door.

A brief pulse and rush of air. Hahli stepped out of the shadows and analyzed her new surroundings. She was in a series of blindingly white hallways. Soldiers rushed around her, hurrying to defend this place. A being was now walking up to her in an awkward, jerky way- he looked rather like a golden Toa.

"Oh, mistress Hahli!" he exclaimed in relief. "They've just shut down the main reactor, and I'm afraid that they'll be boarding any moment now. Please do try and help out our-" he was cut off as his smaller compatriot rushed off elsewhere.

"Oh!" he cried in dismay. "Oh dear, Artoo!" he called hurrying off after the smaller being.

So, Hahli thought to herself with some dismay, this is a fight now, is it? Hefting her Cordak blaster over her shoulder, she squatted in front of the door with the other soldiers, none of which seemed to notice her odd appearance. Whatever was coming through that door, she thought to herself, I'll show it the true power of a Toa.

OK, so we've gone from Tokyo to Star Wars.

Roach did a quick chamber check on his ACR, loading the grenade launcher underneath it, before taking up a position with the others facing the airlock.

Wait... This corridor's gonna turn into a kill-zone...

Those that entered through the right-hand portal found themselves in a large landing bay and hangar. White-armored stormtroopers stood in perfect precision, preparing for what looked like a war.

"Prepare for boarding actions," called the stormtrooper at the head of the party to his men.

"You there!" he called to the new arrivals. "Fall in line and get ready to fight!"

Kraft crouched and readied his weapon, the thin red aiming laser stark against the white corridors.

"I'll hit whatever comes through there first, and you follow it up, okay?" he said to the others.

Ravage bristled angrily, baring his teeth. This mass-produced drone dared presume to command him?!

Then the Decepticon restrained himself with some effort. Clearly there was some objective to be achieved, and perhaps one of these white-armoured individuals would prove useful in learning what it was.

"Trooper, my memory banks must have been scrambled in transit. What is our objective?"

"What, you were late for the briefing or something?" the commander asked. "We're hunting down the Rebel ship out there and we're preparing for boarding actions. We find the plans for the Death Star, and Lord Vader will see to the Princess personally."

Ravage nodded, more to himself than in acknowledgement of the stormtrooper's words. A "rebel" ship, was it? And a princess, too...no Transformer would ever bear such a title; whoever these rebels were, they were clearly organic.

The jaguar's lips peeled open in a malicious smile as he padded over to the line.

"I remember now, trooper; thank you. I'm looking forward to the coming slaughter..."

"Oh man... I f*cking love this movie, but I never thought I'd see it live."

"Hey!" Roxas called after Roach and the others as they entered one of two portals. "Where are you guys going?" He raced after them into the left-hand portal - which looked something like a Corridor of Darkness - and came out inside some sort of...something. "What the? What's going on here?"

Kraft looked behind himself to see a teenage boy wielding a giant key. By now used to the peculiarities of this dimension, he didn't blink.

"We appear to be in a war zone... get ready."
