Ren panicked internally for a moment when he noticed Frank, Guy, and some Pokemon get caught. He'd have probably not been able to keep his expression stable if it wasn't for him not sensing any of the actual light show with his superhuman senses. Whatever had happened, it seemed like Frank was just continuing his bluff for now.

No longer needing to worry about that, he continued to keep his senses peeled and keep listening to the conversation.

"We're trying to get outta here! Do we LOOK like guards to you?! No! We're prisoners just like you!" Severa screamed over the alarm, figuring lying was a smarter thing to do in this situation than telling the truth and confusing these illusions. "The only people I wanna fight are those stupid Coalition dastards that kept me locked away here!!!"

"Well, I'm out if you're still up for playin'," one Hun said, getting up and offering Schala his seat.

A soldier answered her question. "You mean the redhead or the first girl? Because between you and me I don't think either of 'em are worth much, but the boss clearly thinks otherwise."

"Wait...so you both got caught by bad guys? And you're trapped in here?" SeeU started trembling, clearly worried. "B-But if you're in here, then...who is gonna stop Revan? Who's gonna keep him from killing all the Great Spirits?"

Her arms fell to her sides, a blank expression on her face.

"Who's gonna...save me?"

It was then a small stream of red would trickle down from the corner of her mouth. A shadowy figure stood behind her, drawing a bright red weapon from SeeU's abdomen. The little android fell to her knees, and her killer's identity became clear.

"These emblems are pretty damn sweet, huh? Who woulda thunk they'd completely ward off all magical attacks?"

"The Order won't know what hit 'em, that's for damn sure...and neither will that Great Spirit, when we find it."

"You honestly think the Great Spirit can be stopped with these?"

"Sure! I mean, I can't tell if this is powered by magic and technology, but I'm pretty sure it could stop it! It'll sure stop The Order, too...as long as they don't have any kind of countermeasures."

At this point, Ren could move on or keep listening.

@Kaykay
 
Kitty didn't expect that, and that was made obvious by a loud sharp gasp, but Kitty immediately took out her gems, and began withdrawing power from them, in order to quickly send an attack. She tried to put her mind and intentions into it to make it stronger, but it was hard. Just...if they were in the past, then how were they able to be seen? They weren't seen before, so why now? And....if they had really gone back in time, what does it make of the fact that the White Prison fell with unknown circumstances.

She wasn't able to even send an attack, before she felt a horrible sensation: Dark Magic. Kitty backed away, nearly forgetting all sorts of attack, as she hugged herself tightly and struggled not to vomit. She was powerful sure, but it came from Holy magic, and as Holy magic was in the body, that meant Kitty could hardly be in the presence of Malevolence or Sin. Much less raw Dark magic. It was painful, like something wrong was soaking into the pores of her skin, drowning her in dark filth.

The sudden pain in her, that just felt wrong also chipped away at Kitty, as she doubled over, and held a scream. It was painful, Kitty may have had a high tolerance for pain, but she had a breaking point. Then again, a Hero never gave up even in Hell. Kitty chanted, trying to clear her head before she could launch an attack.

"Gloria di-domine, or-oro, sav-sana n-nobis divinam potentiam tua-tuam!"

Sweating from pain, and stuttering, Kitty prayed, so she could start to recover. Even though it didn't seem to be obvious (as in no woman floated down with glowing light), Kitty, even though she was in pain, looked up. Perhaps instead of healing the pain, the 'healing' she got was that, it healed her heart, so she could be strong again. She held a blue gem in her hand, a strange light starting to come from it. It seemed to be hurting her hand, but also protecting her.
__
"We DON'T WANT to fight. We don't want to get involved in with you two. We want to get out of here, so we have no intention of messing anything else up!"

She raised her hand, a bright light coming from it. All attacks with dark properties, might have a chance of having their dark properties disappear, leaving only the physical attack. She overheard Severa, and although she hated it....bending the truth to the point of becoming a lie was a lesser evil. If they claimed to be prisoners, then they have a lesser chance of getting involved, and thus, messing up this situation that they shouldn't have been in, in the first place.

"We're one of the universes' many hopes, but not the only ones. There's all kinds of people out there who'll do i-"

Stabbity stoobity babbity boo.

SeeU got stabbed.

"SeeU!" Ben rushes to his friend's side as he attempts to use the Omnitrix. "Jury Rigg! Jury Rigg! Gah... I can't repair her myself... not quickly anyways."

Ben then angrily turns his head to the odd person. "So you're the head honcho of it all, huh? So you're the guy Shan Yu's gonna use our blood for in a blood ritual or whatever?"

@Crow @Hahli Nuva @Yun Lee
 
Will narrowed her eyes darkly, clenching her fists. Yet another life taken. And she stood here powerless.

"You'd best say your prayers. Once we're free from this net I'll make you pay for everything you've done! Free us, you coward!" she growled.
@Crow @Yun Lee
 
As Frank made his gruesome display, the army was stunned, some of them having to look away due to the blinding brightness of the fire. But as it all cleared away, save for a moment of stunned silence, the group cheered, clapping and hollering for the grand show.

"Well done." Shan Yu nodded approvingly. "Welcome aboard. Try to leave some for the rest of us when they attack."

Guy and Buddy were in Hell. Burning, festering agony that would consume their souls for all eternity. It was only a matter of time before their flesh burned into nothing and their bodies turned to ash, leaving nothing but their screams as remainders of their sorry existance.

Nah just kidding. Frank just teleported them to the factory group. Someone might wanna cut them out of the net...

@Sark @Crow

@Atomic Knight @Ver @Lucky @MelodyMeister @Donder172


"Not making any promises,"
Frank replied to Shan Yu. "If your guys aren't doing their job I might as well pick up the slack. Now when we're waiting." He clapped his hands together. "Where's the booze?"

@Yun Lee
 
❝ Uh... yeah! What she said! ❞ Majima was drawing blanks on how to really handle this situation, but he took after Severa's lead on that lie. If it meant less trouble, that also meant less possibility on him actually losing control over himself. All of this chaos with illusions and things he didn't entirely understand, and all this commotion was really testing his human side's endurance.

Internally, he hoped that (for once) it smoothes out and doesn't boil into more chaotic fighting, but that was very chance thinking.

"Damn you Frank! You back stabbing son of a bi--"

Aaanndd he was back. He gritted his teeth. It was hard to deny that Frank had made the right call. Sure, if he hadn't kept his composure, he and that strange dog would likely be sprayed across the streets around about now. But being kept out of the loop? Being in constant need of rescue? Being the team's butt monkey? Now these were things he couldn't take lying down.

He sat for a moment, lost in thought. As the seconds trickled by Guy eventually came to his senses. It was settle; he wouldn't wait around any long. Now was a time for actions.

"I'm going back" Guy snapped, slipping his Ysmaultian ring atop of his Green, gritting his teeth as the pain of the transformation washed over him. He would have to let it pass. He would need to muster all the strength he could for what would come next.

"Beats waiting around here. Ain't about to sit on my thumbs..."

With a scalding death-blood coursing through his veins, he called upon the magics of old. A wave of crimson washed over him. By the time the light faded, the Red Lantern's appearance had transformed once again. His face had taken on a series rougher, more bedraggled features. Sunken eyes. Sharper cheeks bones. Small scars and wrinkles littered his skin. His hair grew longer, and an unkept beard appeared upon his chin.

View attachment 3964

"Guess we gotta fight fire with fire, or Hun with Hun. Frank wants to see bleeding heart? He's gonna see a bleeding heart..."

Filtering the light that struck his skin and suit once again, a series of furs and wrapped tangled themselves around his being. An emblem burned its way into his uniform. A shimmering red construct sword began to glisten until it took on the appearance of rusted silver. He appeared to be every bit the typical Hun.

"Alright. Time for round two..."

Summoning a blood portal, Guy slipped along the slip stream left behind by Frank's Hell portal, leading him back to Him and his new friends. After a few more moments of hiding behind a wall of refracted light, he became visible once again. He became one with the crowd. Laughing when they laughed. Cheering when they cheered. He did everything he could to become yet another faceless good. No aspirations. No individuality. Just fierce grin and two eyes searching for a pint. The last part came naturally.

"Aye! First round's on me! Lets christen the new lad!"

"Bui bui! (Don't forget to save Ben from the prisons!)"

Buddy realised that the Huns & Revanchist soldiers would recognise it immediately unless it had a disguise of some sort, so it didn't move from his position as it greeted Guy a farewell.

@Sark
 
Pain. Great pain, that’s all Austin could understand at the moment. He was supposed to be in a heck of a lot of pain. He put a hand to his head and his eyes closed due to the pain. “Ah, Jesus, man, that’s worse than any hangover I’ve ever had...’ey can anyone fill me in on why I’m feelin’ this?”
 
To say Velvet was confused was an understatement, though neither Ludger or Eleanor knew either what was going on with Guy as he slipped away from the room. However, as Velvet seemed to consider the group's claim that they were prisoners, the pain in everyone's heads lessened.

"Is that so?" Velvet questioned, not sounding entirely convinced. She looked to the silver-haired man, who nodded and dropped Touma to the ground.

"You're already involved, whether you like it or not," the man said to Kitty.

"If you are who you say you are, then I guess we're both going the same way," Velvet said. "Help us escape."

It was definitely an odd claim, considering the odds. Velvet must have considered herself greatly powerful to be talking in such a way. Ludger felt that it was possibly her who made them all feel such pain, but he had a feeling that was not the case at all. Either way, there was little choice in the matter if they wanted to avoid whatever it had been.

"I agree," Ludger said. "We'll go with you and escape this place together."

"... Then come this way," said the silver-haired man, leaving the room.

"Gngh! Ngh... Huh?"

Touma was indisposed for a moment as he suddenly found himself throttled and then slammed into the wall, knocking the wind out of his body. By the time he had managed to gather his bearings again, the boy more hardy than he might have looked on the outside, it seemed that the brief fight had already halted to a pause.

Even though from his perspective he was mostly defending himself, Touma had to admit now, he felt a bit self-conscious pre-emptively leaping into action even after the dark energy that he had to dissipate, but even so...

"Hey, wait a minute!" Touma began to call after the silver-haired man, but by the time he did, the man had already left the room, leaving the spiky-haired boy cocking his brow and rubbing the back of his neck.

to-aru-majutsu-no-index-964752.jpg


"Jeez... That guy really isn't a normal person at all. Not even a moment to breathe..." He muttered, almost feeling whiplash at how easily everything had proceeded, but perhaps he shouldn't complain.

Turning to Severa, Touma awkwardly placed his hands on his hips, looking toward her. "... Uh, nice work," he uttered, "I guess it really is better to just go along with whatever actually happened here, if this is supposed to be an echo of the past."

"A-Anyway, we should get a move on then..."

@Yun Lee @Gummi Bunnies @Atomic Knight @Lucky @MelodyMeister @HealThyWounds @Crimson Spartan @CrunchyCHEEZIT @Donder172 @Others
 
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.

5ldckyJ.jpg


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!"

"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.

"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.

@Jeremi @Sark

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?"

View attachment 3966

"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!"

"Hm? Naw. I'm good now. The first girl's what I'm wonderin' about. If the boss thinks they're worth so much, maybe I oughta keep a closer eye on em." She said.

As she spoke, Schala began to carefully assess the area for any indication of some kind of holding cell. Or more specifically, a place where that first girl might be held.

If she was able to find that cell, she could relay its location to the others, and from there, co-ordinate an impromptu jailbreak. She just had to memorize where Will was being held.​

"There's still a way, pal..."

Ben would unveil his left sleeve, revealing a strange stylized Omnitrix-shaped sigil. He shakes his arm.

"... come on Command Seal, do something... save him, replenish him, let him free..."

Ben's concern over his friend would cause Will's words to be filtered and roughened as Ben uses his bare hands and his grinding teeth to attempt to chew and rip the net away.

"... I'm not giving up on you!"

@Yun Lee @Crow @Hahli Nuva
 
Will heard Ben biting at the net and decided to try herself. It seemed like a fruitless effort, but times were desperate.

The Keeper took ahold of some material and began to try and rip her way out.

So they could negate magical abilities with the nets they'd captured their group in along with protecting themselves from magic. The idea that the emblem on his disguise would have the same properties crossed his mind, but when he remembered how "effective" they were against Ben's attack he decided not to put too much stock into it. He'd never exactly considered himself the master of stealth or anything, but so far so good.

Communicating this would have to wait for when he was safe and alone, so for now Ren decided to move on. With a purposeful gait and a serious expression on his face, all he could do was keep on making it look like he belonged there. None of the conversations he'd caught wind of earlier seemed to relate to the prisoner that the other group had mentioned, and from the conversation he'd just overheard the Revanchist didn't know where the Great Spirit was.

As he moved, he decided to keep his senses peeled for the nets they'd mentioned or any information about the prisoners. The prisoners were obviously inside the building somewhere, but where?

Alonso looked at the soldiers with an uneasy feel- He did not want to hurt what appeared to be Coalition members.. "Relajad..." He spoke quietly, unwanting to cause injury to them. But after he overheard Ludger speak to Velvet, telling her they were illusions, he instinctively understood.

DLDKX0GWAAAgOhm.jpg


"Hijos de puta... Today, you will see His hand go through me!" With one hand, he unsheathed his rapier and with the other removing the pistol from the back of his olden-leather belt, looking a bit out of his time period. He pointed the pistol at the Coalition/Illusion troops and began firing steady shots, nailing a few but missing some in the midst of the fray of prisoners and the Illusion troops, quickly thrusting and blocking attacks from many of them as he moved between shooting and stabbing.
