Kitty crossed her arms, and rolled her eyes. But it did make sense, the fact that they said they were prisoners now meant that they were involved with this...illusion? Re-simulation? This meant they were going to have to play the roles of the other prisoners for now...dang. At first, Kitty had thought that they were unwelcome visitors to a replayed, stand alone illusion, but now it made sense: They were playing a part now, in this rehashed memory. At least the headache cleared, she guessed.

The only problem was like as Ludger said before, no one was sure how they fell, so they were actors with nary a script, and Kitty wasn't about to give herself a brand new headache trying to find a script. Chances are, like everything, they would succeed anyways. She walked with the group slowly, gripping a wand that had her blue gem in the middle, two other were orbiting her slowly. One, her Corpus Ruby, was bright red, while the other was half-black, half-white, and it twitched in its unstable orbit. It was her last resort: Divinitatium.

She stopped upon seeing their first enemies: Their own comrades. Well. This was awkward. Kitty wasn't even sure her own magic would work on them, exorcism vs exorcism doesn't seem good, and as the man shot dark magic that made her back away, Kitty was even more at a loss. Eleanor may have knew these people who must have died in the real fall of the prison, and having to this time, be the bad guys...It must have been hard.
__
She stepped forward, her hand raised in the air, as her white/black gem floated above her hand in a convulsing, glitching manner.

"....Don't fight if you don't want to, Eleanor, it must be hard for you. I'm sure a few prisoners hung back and let their better fighters take over, you can be one. I'll fight, so, stay away from me!"

Kitty took a deep breath, and closed her eyes, as she muttered a prayer to invoke power out of the corrupted gem. The gem's power was unpredictable, its attack could take any large-scale form, even an explosion. It had equal chance of being powerful, holy divine power, as it was to contain demonic, dark Devil's magic. It would be obvious, as either a circle of Crosses would surround her...or a wicked cage of inverted pentagrams. If it turned out to be dark magic, it would likely be more destructive and violent then even the power of gods (And catch anybody unlucky enough to be too close to Kit.)......but Kitty won't be able to cast another spell, and it would leave her weak.

"No, Ben." The voice from behind the mask spoke, strange and distorted. "You still have no idea what's going on, do you?"

"B-Ben..." SeeU whimpered, more metallic red draining out of her wound. Head down, she grabbed his net, feebly clinging onto it. "How...could you..."

She looked up, and immediately she had become someone else. Someone still bleeding. Someone still dying. Someone still close to the young hero.

"How could you...let me die...?"

"There will be plenty of time to get drunk after we finish our mission," Shan Yu said, responding to the cheers and clamoring for alcohol. "For the time being, I need you all sober. In the meantime..." He looked to Guy. "How about you give him a tour of the camp? I have some business to attend to." And with that, he was gone.

Woah...it worked! Her bluff actually worked! Severa almost couldn't believe that she pulled that off, things never went that well for her! It did make her chest puff out the tiniest bit, especially when Touma praised her. "Who would've thought I'd be the one getting us out of trouble?"

"Soon enough, I'LL be the one protecting YOU!"

Wait.

"Not that you, like, ACTUALLY protect me or anything. It was a joke."

Boom. Nice save.

Severa took off after the illusions they were teaming up with now, readying for battle. "Just think of this as a simulation or something! That way it won't hurt as much!"

"Yeah, guy I have totally never met before!" Frank replied towards Guy as Shan Yu was out of ear shot. "Got to get familiar with this place, and you heard the man, no booze. Man, where did you even think of that?"

As the group followed along, Ludger spoke to the others so that Velvet and the silver-haired man couldn't hear. "I think I know what's happening," he said. "I suspect that, as this is likely Silent Earth bringing this building's events to life, that pushing the past events away from how they happened too far would cause harm to us. We're in this for the long haul."

"By the way, who is this little guy?" Eleanor asked, leaning down and looking at the Eevee while they walked.

Ludger nervously cleared his throat. "Uh, I think it's called, uh... a poke monster...? Who can say what's happening to our allies in other parts of the building."

The silver-haired man stopped at a junction between hallways. The walls of the prison were pristine and a metallic silver, but they glowed a creepy red under the danger lights. Prisoners were running throughout the halls, desperate to escape. Men and women in white robes accompanied by what appeared to be beast companions met them in battle in an attempt to subdue the riot.

A group of soldiers came across the group, demanding them to stand down.

The silver-haired man responded by shooting dark magic at the soldiers. Velvet joined the fight, twisting and turning as her blade met her foes. Eleanor faltered, unsure what to do.

"I can't..." she said, voice shaking. "These are Coalition exorcists. My fallen allies. I can't fight them."

"They're not real," Ludger said, trying to assure her. "Just illusions. But we must make sure we repeat the events of the past!"

"And what exactly happened in the past?" Meceliss asked before joining into the fight. Using telekinetic attacks against the illusions. Looking for debries around the area to throw at the illusions. Keeping her lightsaber ready in case one manages to get in close.

"Nice to meet you too, Jackass..." Guy growled and glared back at Frank, thinning his eyes.

"Let's cut the crap. We've got work to do. We can turn this camp over, or follow the Big Cheese. See what his business is. I say we split up before you get the itch to damn me to Hell again."

In another flash of light, Guy's features shifted again. He now reassembled a different faceless Hun goon; He couldn't risk Shan thinking that his chosen tour guide was disobeying orders, now could he?

"Sir!" Guy cried, following Shan's footsteps, until he had finally caught up with his 'master'. "I've received orders from Revan himself. His guard caught wind of the spies you caught and damned earlier. They've increased your security detail. I've been reassigned--" He placed his fist over his heart and took a bow. "--and I'm ready to lay my life down for you once again... sir..."

“Well, if they’re illusions than I don’t necessarily have to have a guilty conscious, do I?” Austin asked with a small grin as he pulled out his gun and aimed it at the guards, firing a couple of deadly accurate shots into the opponents.

"Be mad at the person who sent that little dog," Frank replied through smiling gritted teeth. "I just did what I thought was best, but for some reason. Here you are again." He didn't care if Guy cared to listen, he just improvised and it got him out, though he wasn't expecting him to come dicking around again so quickly after getting free.

Either way he looked on as Guy vanished into the masses again. Acting like he was following someone Frank would look around the area if he could find anything that would give them an edge when the fighting finally started. Obviously those nets were going to be a problem, perhaps finding their source was a good place to start?

"This illusion must be shattered."

A commanding telepathic tone suddenly penetrated the mental haze that had afflicted much of the party in the presence of these illusions. Deoxys, who'd kept a stoic silence for what felt like hours since the group had split off between the factory complex and the submerged building, shot upward from the back of the group's ranks like an artillery shell, holding out an empty hand towards the false men.

An observative role is underappreciated, Deoxys thought to itself when it looked upon the armored figures with an unmistakably alien gaze as if it was leering at something behind them - through them, even. The creature buzzed threateningly and trapped the air in front of it within a tight fist. A pool of psychokinetic energy poured outward from its core, washing the area in a pale purple light.

DEOXYS used GRAVITY!

Suddenly, it was as though one could feel the oxygen in the air pressing upon their skin. A crushing, unseen force began to push the hostile entities into the ground beneath their feet, limbs growing sluggish and uncomfortable to move. The floor would crack and form foot-sized craters had their knees - if such an illusion would allow itself to simulate cracking bones - hadn't already given way. In any case, it proved very difficult to move more than a few inches.

Deoxys touched down between Severa and Touma. It's 'casting hand' unraveled into a set of tentacles that then sharpened themselves like javelins, indicating the alien shifting into it's 'attack form.' Deoxys directed its focus to poor Touma, without sparing him a glance. "I recall you having an ability that may assist in this situation, Touma Kamijou."

" I know you told me to be good little guy, but got to follow the script so we don't get hurt," he told Buddy, sharpening his blades and going to cut down some of the illusions and shooting some others. It was the cinematic sort of movie scene that you couldn't put in words. " Trust me, it does indeed look awesome."

"Vollivee? (How are you understanding me- you know what... alright, let's go Watchogwild on this thing. Trump Card!)"

Buddy unleashed red card-shaped projectiles to strike each and every illusion.

" Well, it helps that you got little translations next to your speech. I'm not very fluent in Pokémon sadly," he replied to Buddy.

Deadpool smiled as he watched the little pokemon help them in the battle ahead.

Nothing Ben did would work. Astolfo still bled, staring at Ben as though he himself had stabbed him. "How could you let me die, Ben?" He asked again, before the form shifted again.

"How could you let me die?"

Over, and over, people Ben cared about took form, dying and blaming him for their demise. The same question was asked over and over again, to the point where it embedded itself inside Ben's head, not giving him even a moment of peace.

"Do you see now, boy? Do you understand? You have no control, no power over anything. The world is lost, not just to you, but to all you love. You have failed everyone you know. And when the last Great Spirit is purged from existance..."

The figure removed their mask, revealimg nothing but an endless black void.

"There will be nothing left...but your own failure."

The void shot out from the mask, consuming Will, Ben, and the room itself. Ben and Will were now free of their nets...but did that truly matter, surrounded by complete nothingness?

Shan Yu turned to Guy, confusion momentarily written on his face. "Revan himself...?" Realization hit him, and he nodded. "Yes. Yes, of course." His eyes left Guy and looked downward as he began thinking out loud. "Even with the nets and emblems, we aren't protected from everything The Order could throw at us. Those already captured...there's no telling what they may have up their sleeves...!" He covered his mouth, eyes widening. "And I've gone and left all three of them unguarded..." He looked back to Guy, nodding towards the entrance of the prison. "Quickly! Come with me. We need to make sure none of the prisoners have escaped. They're the key to the Great Spirit."

Ren and Frank would converge together, finding a few Huns prepping dozens of nets for whatever came next. They would also notice Schala a bit of a ways off, talking to a large group. One of them pointed towards Shan Yu, who was walking towards the building's entrance.

"We're keeping everyone nice and safe in there," she said. "The boss is protecting them, and won't tell us anymore than that. I think I just heard him mentiom they're 'tickets to the Great Spirit' or something? I dunno. They must be important; he doesn't strike me as the kind of guy to take prisoners."

Ben's head was down, his tone most serious as tears fell down his face.

"If you're still there, Revan, I still have questions. Questions about existence. About purpose. About need."

@Yun Lee @Hahli Nuva @Crow​
 
Will instantly flared up, filling the dark void with light for a brief moment. The Heart returned to full power, and Will could once again feel the link between herself and creation.

The Keeper summoned War Song and held it like a torch, lighting the holy sword with Quintessence.

"Ben... None of that was real.."

@Crow @Yun Lee
 
There was nothing. No Revan, no lights...the two of them were completely alone in black nothingness. It was as though the entire world had vanished, with all things within it, amd left only Ben and Will in it.

@Crow @Hahli Nuva​
 
"Huh. No one, nothing."

Ben looks around as he wipes his tears.

"There's still us. Maybe this isn't real... but if it is... if the multiverse is destroyed..."

He dials his Omnitrix and selects a transformation.

"Alien X!"

Alien X would release a small sphere in the distance, moving lightyears away, before it would explode, creating a big bang in mere seconds as stars were formed nigh-instantly, as were planets that split from their stars like the moon from the earth. Galaxies, Quasars, oh my!

latest


"This newly-birthed universe is empty without the primitive species that will ultimately evolve into the creators of civilization. As such, I will create a life form in memory of my old friend, Skurd."

Alien X created a circle with his palm, allowing it to pulsate before slimy mollusc-like creatures were created.

latest


"You are all known as Slimebiotes. You are a race from a now-dead universe, but now, you exist again. Your purpose - it is to feed on the DNA of universes past and spread it to new ones. After which, you may exercise your sapience in new worlds, continuing to feed on DNA."

Alien X expands vastly in size, to the size of a planet as it points to his Omnitrix emblem.

"This here is a relic of the old universes now gone - the Omnitrix. It formerly contained the DNA of one galaxy, and later on, two galaxies, and finally, it began to contain the DNA of many different universes outside my home - Saiyans, Zora, Neuroi, Frieza Clansmen, so on. Feed on it. DNA is a delicacy to your kind. After that, spread out, and spread DNA throughout the new universe."

The Slimebiotes as they were called suckled at Alien X's Omnitrix emblem, they would begin to eat DNA, even from aliens that were never unlocked. Once they had their fill, they would fly off towards the planets like octopi in a flock, among the diamond sky before the two.

Alien X shrinks back to his default size and looks towards Will. "If situations prove to be hopeless, we will use every means to fix it and get up before we declare it so. Perhaps Earth will have history identical to its previous incarnation. Perhaps someday, I will descend and guide my old friend Astolfo. Perhaps someday, those we have failed will be born again. The Great Spirits are no more, and thus, it is I who must assume the burden they once held..."

Alien X ponders.

"... say Will, would you like to explore the life forms of this newly-created universe? Perhaps the present, or even the future, where they have evolved to think and speak."

@Yun Lee @Hahli Nuva @Crow​
 
Will dismissed War Song. They were in a atrange void, with seemingly no way out. The Keeper was going to open her mouth to speak when Ben literally created a universe before her very eyes. Will had seen acts like this done before, but she had never actually been present as the universe itself came into being.

Will was beyond impressed. Alien X had been a formidable opponent in battle, but to see his own version of Aether take shape and form life was something she doubted she'd see again.
The Keeper blushed lightly at Ben's question, averting her gaze slightly. Just a few moments ago they were in a heated debate. but now?

She fixed Ben with a light smirk.

"It's a date."

@Crow @Yun Lee




 
Truly, the universe that Alien X began creating was a marvel to behold. Beauty and hope glistened in the stars, his Slimebiotes floating within the cosmos in a beautiful cosmic dance. As the pair began planning their future in this newborn world, anything seemed possible. Even if all was lost, there was still hope to be found somewhere. The world could be saved, no matter how dark things became.

Oh...if only that were true.

From the center of this new universe, a tiny spot appeared. Small, almost insignificant really, until it started to slowly in size. It made no sound, it only grew, consuming all that touched it. A Slimebiote here, a star there...the more it ate, the bigger it grew, until it overshadowed everything around the two young heroes. It almost felt as though it would swallow them up, too...but it didn't. In fact, it seemed as though all the beauty and splendor Alien X had created was never actually a reality after all, but a mere illusion created in an attempt to escape the darkness that was the true reality.

In a matter of just minutes, everything had faded away, leaving nothing but solitary black. Not a single star shone, not a single creature breathed save for the two...darkness reigned yet again.

@Crow @Hahli Nuva​
 
"Strange... what is that thing?" Alien X says, hovering towards the position of the supposed spot that devoured everything. "This isn't purgatory, is it? I always assumed it would be a lot more decorative. Fire here, rock there and the devil on a throne."

@Yun Lee @Hahli Nuva @Crow​
 
It didn't appear to be a spot anymore at all. If anything, it was if the darkness had created a hole within the universe Alien X had created, taking it all away as easily as it had been made.

@Crow @Hahli Nuva​
 
Anger struck Will, and this time she drew her blade and slashed at the darkness, hoping the blessed weapon would cut through the void like it had so many times before.

"I don't understand! Where ARE we?"

Will was getting fustrated at the lack of progress. On one hand, she got them into this mess, but in the other, they had their powers back and could try to escape whatever hellhole they had found themselves in.
