A Game of Gods: A Multiversal Challenge

He could have sworn that he had caught another glimpse of a smiling face - of the mother he never knew.

He shook it off quietly and sadly.

She is dead, and nothing can change that.

"Doctor.... there is nothing on your hand."

Well Go Onnn, boy, Scout Out The Territory First.

— The scythe and the accompanying dervishes were not two meters away from Quingenti. —

Bolas' mind never left his skull, per se, nor was it necessarily tied to his body in any way but the fact his body was something of a focus for a more pervasive consciousness, but that was neither here nor there. No 'slamming' took place but he became a little irritated at the forceful rejection of his inquiry. The music was good though. He decided to listen as he watched the scene unfold, ready to shackle something, or someone, in place if it went awry.

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

Jack, reaching the scene of the disturbance, drew his sword, though he saw nothing.

"What is it?" he demanded of the doctor. "What do you see? We can help!"

Quingenti stared at the scythes for a few moments. That was far too close to be unintentional...

"What are you doing?" he asked.

Gordon reached out to take Doctor Langley by the shoulder. "Listen to me. You're fine. Nothing is there. The last thing we need is another person losing their head."

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

Rey called out to them. "You might try kissing her, John. That worked for Maria."

Spriggan moved carefully while porting the K3.

"I don't like the quietness, not to mention the professor shouting..."

“I beg… you…. please take care of this child. Please.”

"His...name...is...Link...."

"Mother..." he whispered to himself. It had seemed so real, that voice that had spoken. So....real...

"I... I can hear my mother... she is calling...me...."

Almost involuntarily he turned around, as if to search for the source of the voice, but then he turned back again, looking downcast.

"No. There... is no one there. No one... at all... Must not delude myself..."

Distorted, mocking laughter reverberated through the confines of Spriggan's skull at his words.    YOU DON'T LIKE THE QUIET, BUT YOU DON'T LIKE THE SHOUTING OF THIS COW EITHER? MAKE UP YOUR MIND, IDIOT; NOW THAT YOU'VE BAKED YOUR CAKE, YOU CAN'T HAVE IT BOTH WAYS.   

A wet gurgling noise escaped Dr. Langley's mouth, and her eyes widened further in shock as she clasped her hands around her throat. From the faint sounds she was making, it was clear that the red-headed scientist had suddenly found it extremely difficult to breathe; it was almost as though she were being throttle by an invisible hand.

And in fact, if one were paying close enough attention, they might notice that one of her hands was cupped around the air in front of her throat, and faint depressions like the contours of a pair of hands had appeared in the flesh of her neck...

"No!"

His sword glowing with light, Link brought the Blade of Evil's Bane through the air in front of Doctor Langley.

"Someone get her away from that thing!"

— Megatron stomped down in front of the scientist, silently entering scan-mode with his optics.—

Gordon, being quite close to the Docto Langeley, took a few moments to notice that things werent quite right.

"What the..."

He brought one arm up, and swiftly brought it down onto the space directly in front of Doctor Langley's hands as hard as he could.

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

The Doctor runs in front of Langley. "Guys! Attack this area!"

Kimimaro pulled from his pack one of his few most valuable and rare tools: a demon-dispelling charm, a slip of paper with an extraordinarily complex seal pattern written on it. He channeled his chakra into it, and thrusted it at and into the spot where the invisible being's main body would be.

Rey stumbled out of the bus, starting towards Langley, again sing-songing in a low voice. "Tommyknocker, Tommyknocker, knocking at my door...late last night and the night before..."

"Not a problem Swordsman..."

Bolas triggered two spells, the first to exile whatever was attacking Langley, or if that failed, tried to recall Langley herself, though it had been quite some time since he deconstructed and stored inside his mind a being that hadn't been a summon in the first place. Either way it was worth a shot. Even if he somehow managed to kill her, the act of casting it on her in the first place would allow him to re-summon her back to the plane, alternately he could counter his own spell if something went awry.

"What the fuck?"

The TGS agent was startled when he heard the voice in his head. "I hate it when evil voices like that speak to me in my mind."

He crouched and shouldered the K3 before he fired it at the area directed by the Doctor, aiming via iron sights.

Jack's ancestral sword cut the air in a slash as he rushed forward, meaning to try and carry the doctor away from her invisible attacker.

Icarax stepped up and addressed the thing choking the doctor.

"IDIOT, FOOL, DRANGED NOMAD, LET HER GO BEFORE YOU REGRET IT"

"Talking won't do any good, you idiot!"

He readied his sword for another stroke, the golden energies coursing through it augmenting its abilities.

So Yer Thinkin With Yer Brain And Not Your Loins, boy? Welll, All We're Here To Do Is Give A Proper Welcome To A Member Of The family...

— The dervishes shift to the sides in front of the scythe, more metallic noises coming from within as they grow wider and taller. The scythe stops bouncing and shifts so that it looks shouldered. —

And You Know What That Means, Boys.

— Forty shotgun muzzles each poke out from the sanguine surfaces of the zephyrs, and then begin firing loudly in sequence, at near point-blank range. The scythe comes slicing down on Quingenti, aimed at his collar bone.—

Blink couldn't really tell what she was hearing now. The gunfire, the metallic clicks... what was happening?

Quingenti's body burst open under the assault from the shotguns, a misty haze rising from the wounds. Seemingly unpreturbed by this, he moves to the side as swiftly as possible, away from the scythe.

"So you've chosen a fight?" Quingenti asked. He was in no small amount of pain, but the disappointment is what struck him now. From what he knew of Digamma, the nomad exulted in both causing pain and recieving it. That made him no good target for Quingenti's passtimes.

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

'Well...' the still-frozen Kisame thought, thankful that he had been frozen in a positon where he could see what went on. 'This is certainly unexpected and interesting... Maybe if we're lucky, one of them will actually kill the other; one less obstacle for the final battle.'

In front of Blink and Kisame sprung up a shield made up of many purple hexagons protecting them from any stray attacks. On Kisame's and Blink's faces appeared pairs of red and blue 3D glasses, mostly for comical affect. Stuck on the inside of the shield was a purple post-it note that read Popcorn?

Tau is staying back making sure both Digamma and Quingenti don't break the Nomad rules.

The Doctor punches the area choking Langley as well.
