Corrin stopped in front of Kaiser, holding her dragonstone and transforming into her dragon form. Hopefully, seeing another dragon would quell his rage, and he would allow the teams to continue their search. Corrin didn't know if Kaiser was amicable or not, but if she had to fight him to let her friends go, she would.

"Kaiser! Wait! It doesn't have to be this way!"

@Raynar Saassin @Agent Puncake @Steely
 
Cal way too high up to hear what anyone said, but he did see Terra running, Corrin turning into a dragon herself, and the rest of the team getting ready for comb-

Is Terra pleading with them? To fight, or not to fight?

Cal let off the acceleration and flew the ship horizontally, a few hundred meters above Kaiser, and waited.
 
Kiratta ignored Reaper's words, instead throwing herself fully to the ground as soon as the rest of the group began to engage him, even if it was with words. She swore she saw someone just turn into a dragon, though that was out of the question at the moment. The pilot wasn't entire certain that the dragon wouldn't notice her approach; after all, that thing could very well have heightened senses, and be able to see even a smidge of her body crawling through the rubble and ash. She wasn't exactly camouflaged in her flight suit, after all. Even then, she the time bought by the rest of the group to continue moving, dragging herself across the ground and behind cover so she could essentially circumvent the dragon and attack him from a new angle.

The woman changed her crawl to a prowl-like gait, crouching through a collapsed bedroom all while keeping her eyes on the creature. Can I even lay a single scratch on that thing? She thought to herself, trying to find any evidence of a weak spot on his body. Now pressing herself against a windowsill, peeked out of her hiding spot, aiming down her scope, waiting for the right moment to strike. This 'Corrin', who had transformed into a dragon herself, was attempting to calm down Kaiser. Not a shot would come from her unless any further aggression was taken.

 
"Hmm." Kaiser hummed at the sight of a human turning into one of his kind, stared down Corrin intently. "A human with the capability to transform into a dragon, yet you kill your own. Why." He asked with an angered tone behind him. Seeing a human transforming into a dragon certainly made him less guarded, but was heavily insulted by the fact that they'd openly kill their own kind on a whim. Terra on the other hand was standing there in disbelief, seeing that Kaiser was holding back. This was a first for her. "At least he's not immediately trying to kill us... Thank you Corrin..." She exclaimed, holding her hands to where her human heart would be. Of course, she was still expecting him to full on obliterate everyone if it comes to that.

"I demand to know why a Dragon of your status and calibre, works with the very people that doom our race and their own world."

 
"I am no human, Kaiser. I am Queen Corrin of Valla, first daughter to the Great Dragon Anankos. I know not of which you speak. However, we have all been ripped from our dimensions and left here by some unknown being. We have no quarrel with you. You have my royal word that no harm will befall you or your kind while I still draw breath. Please. Let us pass in peace."

Corrin hoped her words would be enough to quell his rage. As a dragon herself, she knew what it was like to be feared and hunted. Her father, King Garon, had holed her up in a dark tower, just because she was half dragon and she was much more powerful than he ever would be.

"Anankos. Never heard of him." Kaiser responded. Who was this "Anankos" that Corrin spoke of? Another Dragon? "If I let you pass in piece, what are the odds you will do as you suggest? My dragons are known for attacking humans on sight without hesitation due to our mistrust. The fact you work with such killers disgusts me. Now, I shall proceed to eliminate every single one of you!" He exclaimed as he began to charge up the Flare Star Magic Spell. This immediately made Terra panic and yell out to everyone.

"Run!!! Now!!!" Terra exclaimed with as much strength behind her voice as she could muster as she grabbed a hold of Ephraim and Reaper, taking off the direction they followed the trail in. Widowmaker followed suit by grappling to the top buildings and jumping across Rooftop to Rooftop.

The heavy interceptor blasted across the sky, slowing down momentarily to drop a homing mine onto the dragon, and swerved around to face it.

"LISA, all weapon systems online. Target prime threat entity. Fire only if he attacks. ALFRED, disable recon and enable advanced mode."

"Roger, Pilot Ryker. And... good luck."

@Hahli Nuva @Raynar Saassin
 
"GO! I'LL HOLD HIM OFF!" Corrin screamed. She turned to face Kaiser, disappointed in his choice. Even if she couldn't prevent the attack, perhaps she could lessen the damage.

"You're wrong about humans! Not all of us are killers like you say. But if you want a fight, I'm happy to oblige!"

@Raynar Saassin @Agent Puncake @Steely
 
Once the land mine had landed on Kaiser, it exploded in a cloud of smoke in his face. However after the smoke and dust settled, it appeared to have no effect on him as he continued charging his attack. "Foolish ship... your attacks just tickle me..." Kaiser exclaimed, now having fully finished charging the Flare Star attack. Turning towards Corrin now as she appeared to stay behind to face Kaiser. "Then by all means... Try to destroy me, your efforts are for naught... You should of ran while you had the chance, girl... Flare Star!"

Flare Star is one of the most potent magic attacks from the Final Fantasy Universe. It deals damage according to the target's level timed by 80 divided by how many opponents there were. Unfortunately for Corrin, she was the only one actively attacking Kaiser in battle while the others were out of range, meaning the attack would be extremely deadly and cause tremendous amount of damage. However it seemed that he was holding back with this strike, it appeared to be that he didn't intend to kill Corrin, only severely weaken her with his might.

Kiratta watched the whole ordeal with shaking hands and a racing heart, fully aware that the slightest slip up would result in an ugly fight. The course of their dialogue didn't seem to be all that friendly, even with Corrin's draconic form, though she figured it would be okay to lower her weapon for now. If that thing did notice her, it wouldn't help their attempt at diplomacy if she had a gun pointed right at the creature's head. Unluckily for the party, Kaiser refused to let them past, instead preparing some sort of ultimate attack to wipe them all off. The rebel's mind ran: she couldn't run back with the group, given the detour she took to find a more advantageous position on the area.

So the only option was to run back.

Desperately climbing up the collapsed walls and ruined pillars, she sprinted awkwardly through the uneven terrain, making sure to create as much distance between her and the dragon. The sheer force of the explosion threw her off her feet, making the woman roll roughly through the rubble before being unceremoniously stopped by a ruined car. Her head smashed against it with a painful sound, making a dent into the steel and leaving her groaning. "Fuck me..." She slowly got up, holding the struck spot as she checked herself for any damage. Aside from a few bruises and cuts from the fall, she was still in one piece.

Kiratta activated her com-link, taking a look at her surroundings. She wasn't completely lost: her sense of direction didn't go away, meaning she could certainly make her way back to the party in a few minutes. "Reaper, Widowmaker? Anyone still there?"

 
Unfortunately due to the concussion that Kiratta had taken, her com-link just produced static and was unable to link back to Widowmaker and Reaper's frequency. As she slammed into the steel of the car, her com-link took quite the hit. If Kiratta would look around, she would see that she was launched quite a fair bit from Kaiser's attack, with no sight of Corrin or Kaiser.

It would seem that she was alone, or at least not for long as a shadow began to appear in the distance of one building. It appeared to be rapidly flashing what appeared to be a flashlight, almost as if it was telling her to come close to the origin point of the light. Perhaps someone is trying to make contact with her?

 
The rebel was quick to notice that the blast had thrown her far away from the battle, the sight being blocked by the buildings she just waddled through. Only the echoes of the two fighting could be heard, bringing back memories of sitting inside the colossal Mon Calamari cruisers as they battered the enemy with the main cannons. Still, there were more pressing matters at hand; her com-link was apparently smashed, and even when it sparkled to life, she was met with static. "Wonderful. Just... wonderful." At least she still had her directions about her. Walking back to the party would be no problem unless they scattered from the attack.

Just as she began to make her way back, a shadowy figure started to rapidly flash a white, blinding light in her face. Groaning and frowning with the sensory overload, she covered her eyes, taking her pistol out and aiming it in the direction of what she took for a flashlight. While obviously annoying, it appeared to be beckoning her to its position. A means of communicating perhaps? The rebel hesitated, feeling suspicious. "Who's there?"

 
Corrin roared and fired one last water orb to desperately counter the attack. The orb struck the massive fireball and while Kaiser's attack was somewhat shortened, the sheer force behind his blast was enough to engulf hers and slam right into her, searing her magic flesh with fire and flames.

"RRRAAAAAGGGGHHHH!!!"

Corrin let out a feral and pained scream, full of anguish and hurt both from the heat and failure to pacify Kaiser. Her body absorbed the full might of the blow, then the mighty dragon was sent hurtling to the ground like a meteor, burning and broken. Corrin crashed into the ground, creating a massive shockwave and lay still.

Kaiser said not a word as his attack successfully wounded Corrin and sent her hurling to the ground. However his intent was not to kill, but rather a show of force. Seeing his task completed, he proceeded to fly off into the distance and disappear from sight. From the remains of the two buildings, Hector and Undyne rushed over to Corrin and helped her up. "Must of been one heck of a fight. Corrin, you alright?" Hector asked, being the bulk of the lifting while Undyne helped with a shoulder. "What was that thing just then?! If it knocked you out good, it must of been one heck of a strong monster!" Undyne exclaimed more with excitement than worriment, but still shared concerns about Corrin's well being.

"Took you a while to respond to my summoning. I wasn't just flashing my gun's scope at you just for a laugh. Still. It's good to see a recognisable face." A unknown man exclaimed as he flicked on a light nearby to reveal his presence. He had a orange type jacket on and appeared to be wielding a duel-barrelled blaster rifle on his shoulder with a flashlight scope attachment, and what appeared to be quite the facial scaring. Standing behind him was a tall Talortai who appeared to wield two large blades, one on each of it's wrist. "Are you sure attracting this Rebel is a good idea, Tyber?" "Urai, this Rebel Pilot is the closest thing we've seen to a recognisable face right now. I'm well aware that I'm taking a risk with someone of the Rebel Alliance, but you know me well enough to know I take many risks for the Consortium."

Corrin had been heavily damaged from the force of the blow. Her body was covered in burns and scratches, and her Dragonstone seemed to have been shattered in the fight. The queen had a brief coughing fit. Kaiser was definetly a very strong opponent. His attack left her drained and burned, feeling pain she hadn't felt since facing King Garon.

"I...I'm sorry... I wasn't strong enough..." Corrin admitted with shame.

"Terra did burst out saying that Ephraim's party was in danger... Now I know why." Hector exclaimed as she kept a hold of Corrin's left shoulder, Undyne carrying the right one as they gently lifted her up off the ground. "Don't get yourself down. There are always the kind of battles that you lose. But you build off that. You get stronger, you train harder and then you confront them again. And you will beat them." Undyne exclaimed, talking from experience. "I know how you feel. Every time I trained with King Asgore, I always lost in a duel and downed myself like you are now, but you know what he said to me? "Keep trying, and you will succeed. Learn from your mistakes and build on it.""

"So don't let this defeat break your warrior spirit!" Undyne bursted out proudly. "Because sometimes, losing is cool! Because it tells you that you're not perfect. So you are going to stick with us, get stronger and then when we meet that dragon again, you are going to kick his ass!"

High above the ground, Elon sat meditating on one of the few building standing in this war torn landscape. He was no stranger to war, it was war that caused him to become who he was today. In a a way, war was like an old friend. He could understand war, he could understand conflict, though that does not mean he always agreed with it. Too many wars were fought over trivial matters. This however, was not his focus. His focus here was understanding. Not long ago, meditating on a different matter, Elon felt something... unnatural surround him. It knocked the air out him, and by the time he was able to make any scene, he was somewhere entirely new.

He instinctively reached out to the Force, and and it responded, though something was off. If one could see the force like a picture, then the picture was blurred ever so slightly. It was similar but not entirely the same, and that was concerning. Perhaps understanding would come if he explored the land, for after all the Force flows differently in certain places.

It was not long until he saw others. Masking his presence, he decided to listen in instead of confront. He was the stranger here, not them, or so he thought.

He was able to catch bits and pieces, but it seemed no one was native here, and even more outlandish, several individuals concluded they were from separate dimensions. Elon was quick to dismiss this at first, but the force clung to them differently, and through his covert observations, he witnessed things seemly impossible.

This was interesting.

This was strange.

He would wait and see what came next. He had no reason to announce his presence, but he had a feeling these impossible strangers here with him were important.
 
Corrin chuckled lightly. Undyne sounded just like Takumi. She wondered if that's what her brother would say to her now. But the woman had a point. Maybe Corrin couldn't fight Kaiser now, but one day she would face him again.

Fighting him wasn't the entire reason however. He had said humans hunted his kind when they simply wanted to live peacefully. Was this true? How long had it been happening? Maybe Kaiser has grown so jaded and cynical that he simply hated any human looking creatures, even if they weren't one hundred percent human at all like she was.

"I just don't understand. What made him this way? He isn't evil, he's just damaged. I can tell when someone is evil and when they are hurting. Maybe one day, when all of this is figured out, I can have a proper conversation with him."

The southerner, BJ, stood at the door with confusion. The robot spoke with just a casually calm voice with all the gunfire behind them, and the fact that it needed to ask the question was even more puzzling. "Uhhh..." BJ stood with a blank mind, before a bullet ricocheted off the concrete wall near his body snapped him out of it. "Yes, please?" He answered, with confusion in his voice. At the very least, the robot could be used as a distraction while he and Soap ran off.

The Nazi soldiers grew even closer, as Soap could barely even pop his head above cover without an array of machine guns firing all at once. It was getting worse, as vehicles started showing up, with two trucks stopping in the middle of the road, and even worse, this jumping out the back of one.

At dawn, look to the east. This wasn't Middle-Earth. He was not Gandalf and he sure as hell didn't have an army at his back.

What they did have, was a girl who got stronger the more she got hit and a Knight of Winter in the form of the most, belligerent wizard to date.

"Nazi's. I hate these guys. Yang, deal with the shooters!"

Winter wrapped itself around him like a living thing, cold radiating and frosting the ground beneath his feet. Dashing down towards the direction of that mechanical beast, Harry beat feet in hot pursuit, shield charm up as he ran. Winter and it's urges, primal and hungry as always battered against his psyche like a barrage of cannonfire. But in this case he wasn't fighting it so much as selecting a target. And as soon as he found it, he snarled as steam emitted from his mouth.

"Rexi Mundus."

And an iceberg dropped in its direction.

Kiratta opened her eyes as soon as the flashing stopped, rubbing them in irritation as she waited for the bright spots in her vision to disappear. Once her sight was clear once again, however, she couldn't believe her eyes. The woman even blinked, repeatedly, as if in complete disbelief. Now you're fucking with me. Sideways. Her weapon remained up for a tense moment, watching the man's movements as a wave of both fear and disgust crawled inside her. Ultimately, however, the Rebel decided that lowering her pistol would serve them both well. "Tyber Zann... out of all the people, whatever this thing had to suck out of the Galaxy was the leader of the Consortium itself. At least this isn't Darth Vader..."

Yet.

That little thought made her shiver.

Sighing, she ran a hand through her dusty hair, mind running with all sorts of thoughts. "Alright, I think we're both smart enough to not go at each other's necks for the time being." She glanced over to Tyber's companion, the Talortai by the name of Urai Fen, and then back to Tyber. "I can give you a rundown of what I know so far, unless you've had plenty of time around here."
