A Game of Gods: A Multiversal Challenge

Spriggan sighed. "All right. Don't yell at me if something happens."

He used the K3 LMG's buttstock to strike at Rey's right temple hard.

"Exit muna si Polgas. Ang kailangan dito ay si Dobermaxx!"

"We don't need to help her. SHE. ISN'T. HERE."

Rey grunted at the hit, going limp in their grip, not quite knocked out but definitely no longer combative, groaning softly.

The morlocks, having made no effort to dodge whatsoever, were swiftly felled between Megatron, Flandre, Kimimaro and Ravage's efforts. Even as they crumbled into dust, however, more began to shamble out of the darkness—individually at first, then in small groups of two to three. And while Ravage found that dispatching these hideous beasts to be no more difficult than killing their predecessors had been a few moments earlier, the creatures just kept coming; it seemed that there was literally no end to them.

The ophidian recoiled slightly as Kimimaro's explosive tag blew up its face, letting out another of those awful, ratcheting metallic screams as the fire from the explosion briefly lapped at its flesh.

Rey...Rey...! It hurts, Rey...it burns!

Then the low growl of a large engine roaring to life split the air, and behind the challengers the doubledecker spinnerbus rumbled and lifted a few inches off the ground as its antigrav drives came online.

"Party's over," Dr. Langley called from inside. "Everybody onboard, now!"

At these words, the morlocks loosed an unearthly screech, and they began to charge towards the bus with a speed and agility at odds with their lethargic movements from a moment previous.

The ophidian's serpentine coils did not react at all as Narumi peppered what remained of the entity with energy blasts, but neither did they unspool to allow Sec any more room to manoevre or escape; they were as loose as they were going to get...and the beast was still regenerating.

The Doctor drags Rey in. "Doctor Langley! The creatures drove Rey mad! Telling him that his wife is in trouble and needs his help! Restrain him! NOW!"

Bolas looked to the maddened Rey with little more than contempt. "Forget Angie. She is safe." The dragon continued to follow the challengers from the air, looking upon their progress and seeing if any others needed his brand of aid.

How can you be in two places at once when you're not anywhere at all?

Kimimaro carved and blasted at Morlocks who got too close, and then jumped into the bus, still firing bone-bullets at any Core he got a clear shot at through the open door.

Spriggan rolled Rey over his back and placed his arms behind him. Without saying anything, the TGS agent took out a pair of plasticuffs and slipped them on the masked wrestler's wrists before they were secured.

"Exit muna si Polgas. Ang kailangan dito ay si Dobermaxx!"

— KRA KO KRA KA

A Morlock found its front half burned away by a blazing jet. The boot from which the jet emanated slammed down onto the back half with a wet crunch. Megatron ground the remains into the shattered pavement, faceplate impassive and twin burning blades drawn. The Decepticon brought himself to a ready stance, then lunged for the nearest cluster of unsightly creatures, hacking with practiced efficiency across their chests, not wasting a single slash. —

Dr. Langley, who was settling herself into the driver's seat, gave the Doctor a look that told him not to take that tone with her ever again if he ever wanted to bear children from that point onward. "Do I look like I have handcuffs or a fucking straitjacket on my person?! I'm a doctor of philosophy with a degree in xenoethnology and xenobiology, not a medical doctor or the warden of a god damn insane asylum! Now sit down, shut up, and let me pilot this thing!"

Ravage backed onto the bus after Kimimaro, firing at anything that got too near. Dozens of the damn things were surging out of the shadows now, tongue-tentacles filling the transit hub with the ungodly din of their dry, hissing screams, and for every one that Megatron cut down, five more took its place. Though far, far smaller than the towering Decepticon, the creatures proved tenacious; even as he hacked swathes of them apart, industrious morlocks slipped past his guard and began to climb up his legs, their talons puncturing the Cybertronian metal with ease to form handholds and leaving rust and decay spreading across Megatron's legs with every step.

Rey laid where he was, still wincing in obvious pain from the shot to the head, but apparently Bolas' efforts had acheived something, as he was merely looking around in confused silence rather than fighting or screaming.

The Doctor backs up. "Fine... I'll pray that Spriggan was enough..."

Flandre flung one last wave of danmaku at the oncoming monsters as she flew onto the bus. She made her way over to one of the seats and pressed her face against the window, making faces at the monsters.

Hrrrr AAGH!

— The Decepticon Leader threw his arms out, one carrying the cannon and both carrying swords, and started rotating his upper body at rapid rate of cycles. randomly tilting his angle so as to cut everywhere. After three seconds, he began an on/off pattern of wide shots with his cannon, burning entities out of sword range. Slowly, he walked towards the bus...—

The Master Sword flashed once, twice, thrice, its shining blade singing as it sliced through the air -

Each stroke directed at one of the abominations.

Running with the rest, Link threw a lit bomb behind him at the rest of the monsters, and ran up to support the Doctor.

"I have your back!"

"Let's go!"

Spriggan moved ahead once again, porting the K3.

"Exit muna si Polgas. Ang kailangan dito ay si Dobermaxx!"

He stood by the door inside the bus, sword drawn.

"I'll wait till everyone's gotten on!"

If any of the creatures tried to get past him, they would feel his blade.

Icarax smiled, an almost insane gleam lit up the depths of his eyes.

A huge wave of shadow energy washed its way towards the oncoming entities.

Meanwhile, Icarax took to the air and flew off after the spinner transport.

"I believe that is everyone save the metal giant and those who fell behind in the air!" Jack said from just inside the door, breathing hard with exertion. "Now come, we can rescue them and then get out of this city!"

A good traveler has no fixed plans and is not intent upon arriving. -Lao Tzu

Link gestured, clenching his fist.

Flames crept up Megatron's legs, powerful enough to hurt or outright kill the morlocks but not enough to harm the Decepticon himself.

With a violent upwards jerk of his arm, the flames shot up, consuming the rest of the tentacled beings.

Meanwhile, he began shooting at the rest with his bow, firing Light Arrows at the ones on the ground with deadly speed and accuracy.

Spriggan joined with Link, firing his K3. He decided to hold throwing frag/incendiary grenades unless the coast was clear.

"Exit muna si Polgas. Ang kailangan dito ay si Dobermaxx!"

Bolt after bolt of lightning arched towards the creatures.

Icarax floated high in the sky, his acute vision tracking and locking onto the the entities.

As Icarax readied another lightning bolt he laughed, war and destruction was what he was good at.

Someone's having fun.... he thought wryly even as he loosed his bow towards another Morlock.

Kimimaro continued to take potshots at any Morlock's Core he got a clean shot at through the open bus door from inside the bus.

Once everyone was onboard, Dr. Langley slammed the bus' doors closed and threw the vehicle into gear. Throwing caution to the winds in light of the situation, she immediately threw the hoverbus into top gear and tore out of the station; as a result of the sudden acceleration and G-force, anyone unfortunate enough to not be sitting down would have been thrown off their feet and towards the back of the bus.

The next few minutes were a frantic rollercoaster ride as the red-headed scientist tore out of the transit hub and roared off through the skyways, narrowly dodging civilian transports which happened to be going in the opposite direction and swerving wildly to avoid plummeting debris as something winged, aflame and utterly massive slammed into a skyscraper with so much force that the building shattered. All the while, the doubledecker's aerial picked up intermittent broadcasts over the general public address frequency.

"...Administrator Washington. In accordance with the Valhallan Civic Code, I am elevating our status from a state of emergency to martial law. All citizens must proceed to their designated evacuation points; shuttles will be arriving shortly to transport you to the safety of the THS Damocles in high orbit. Be advised that a dangerous fugitive is at loose in the city; this person, Doctor Aska Langley of the Valhallan University's Department of Xenosciences, is believed to be in the company of a mixed party of unknown aliens. Should you encounter Dr. Langley at any point, you are to tap 911 and inform the authorities of her location ASAP, then vacate the area; Langley's party is confirmed to be heavily armed and extremely dangerous, and lethal force has been authorized to bring them down. Attention, citizens of Valhalla; this is Administrator..."
