Mikasa had to admit, having the knowledge that these creatures weren't out to get her and her group of cohorts provided a sense of relief. As Ocelot helped with her wounds, Crocodile mentioned his otherworldly fruits and their properties. When none offered to take it, she hesitantly accepted the item. Rolling it in her hands, she deemed it edible, though strange. Back home, she never really swam much at all.
"I can still bathe though right?" It seemed like a silly question, but one worth asking for sure. With her wounds bandaged, she still felt a little banged up and tired, and it showed. "Thanks," she gratefully said.
"We should rest here for just a bit." Jen took note of everyone's condition. "The road ahead won't be easy and we need to be ready for anything. At best, maybe those things will wipe out a few of them. It could mean the difference between life and death. Besides, if you're going to eat those... fruits... we should have an idea of what's going to happen. It's hard to tell, but the sun is setting. One of them, anyway. We should rest for the 'night' and leave at dawn. I've been here for a little while with Nero and I'm getting used to... this."
"I don't need to rest," Mikasa declared. "I just need to get out of this place." She had to admit, the red grass and silver leafed trees were a sight for sore eyes. The twin suns and orange skies were inspiring. But it wasn't home.
"Your rings," Jen began. "They're heavy, aren't they? For being so small, I mean. I've looked at mine from every angle. 'Preservation'. I think I get it. My power over mana lets me see many things... I could be wrong, but this ring--all these rings--feel alive. Our worlds are not dead. They're alive, and to bring them back, we too need to stay alive. And for that, we need to be at 100 percent. We rest here for now, at least until you stop bleeding Mikasa."
Mikasa grit her teeth but said nothing. Hope was, after all, now roaring with life inside of her heart. She stuck her swords into the ground and sat, watching the creatures do their work as explosions and crashing noises sounded off within.
Jen took up Ocelot's offer, bandaging her somewhat minor cuts. "Are you really going to eat that?" She couldn't help but ask.

Black Star turned his nose up at the fruit. "I'm already unbeatable, why would I want to add a stupid weakness like water? Besides, who wants fruit? Now if you had magic steak then I might consider it!" He looked at the rest of the group and added, "If you want to tag along fine, it's not like you could take us all on if you decide to turn on us anyway." He looked toward the city and listened to Crocodile's explanation about the creatures. "I'm not going to run away from a fight, or leave it to chance that these creeps get what's coming to them..." He looked to his weapon and paused, as if listening to someone. "Oh, yeah, good point Tsubaki," Black Star muttered, before addressing the group again, "Who says these creatures winning would be better anyway? If they're dangerous enough to be a threat to the masters or whatever they are, they could be a danger to everything else too." "For the record," Mikasa said in something of an undertone, "I think you're right. I don't know what those things are, but the enemy of our enemy isn't automatically our friends. I can't argue with letting those bastards deal with it instead of us. I've never been punched by a ninja. It really hurts. I don't know who I'd rather face to be honest, but there seem to be hundreds of those things in the sky." |

"If they wanted to come after use they would have done so," said Sir Crocodile "It would be best to leave here and regroup." |

"If they wanted to come after use they would have done so," said Sir Crocodile "It would be best to leave here and regroup." "Leave here? It looks safer out here than it does in there," Mikasa commented. "If those things are attacking your old pals in the city, what's gonna differentiate us from the targets? I could be wrong, but I'm just pointing it out." "I know a safe place in that city." Jen commented. "It's where Nero and I hid after everything went to hell. This place is weird, the buildings are bigger on the inside, and it's easy to get lost if we don't stick together. I don't think we should go just yet, but if everyone wants to leave... we'd have to do it quietly."  |

OOC: Sorry for taking so long G4.
After being quit for awhile Nero finally speaks up, "I agree with Jen we should regroup rest for those who need it." After the battle Nero isn't hundred percent himself. Using Devil Trigger for so long has drained some of his power but mostly his worried about the others. After losing so many allies before and almost losing Black Star his desire to protect his new ones is strong.
"But after that we should strike when the irons hot and attack those bastards!" The white haired demon hunter said with clear anger in his voice.

OOC: No worries, better late than never, yeah?
With that, the group came to rest there for a few hours. One sun hid behind the horizon, and the other star followed suit. Darkness covered the alien landscape. It almost looked earthly now, except for the countless foreign constellations. In that time, everyone came back together from the showdown. Well rested and as healed as can be, one of the suns came back up, signaling the start of a new cycle. Jen was the first one to wake up, unless anyone else had beaten her to the punch.
She looked up to examine the sight of the city ahead. She noticed first and foremost that whatever creatures that were attacking the city were all gone. Now, everything was eerily silent, except for one noise; a deep, pulsating hum that seemed to vibrate the ground ever so quietly. Crypto's ship still hovered above, but that wasn't where the humming was coming from. This seemed alive.
"Guys," she called out to the others. "It's time to move."

Ocelot was something of an expert at waking up on command. He was up the second Jen called out. Despite everything going to hell, he managed to get some sleep when his current friends proved ok and trustworthy respectively. At Jen's comment, he frowns before standing up.
"What's wrong this time?" he asks in his Adam voice, the electric gun up and ready.

Nero was laying back arms behind his head resting with his headphones on his ears. His music wasn't playing but it was some what of a comfort with them on. His not easily shaken but after all that has happen his on edge. There was a reason he worked alone in the Order of the Sword as solo act. And of course always on his mind which weighs on his heart is Kyrie. He longs to be with his love once again he will save the universes because she's in it. To save all of exist is important to him but protecting her he will not fail.
He awoke hearing Jen's voice and kipped up to his feet his sword in hand. Being around Jen in the heat of battle he trusts her. "What is it Jen?! Nero asked ready for a fight.

Black Star, having spent his time magically sealed in a dragon's stomach, wasn't feeling particularly restful. First the first hour Black Star worked out, then he meditated, before practicing potential victory one liners. As the hours came to a close, Black Star was sitting and writing on small sheets of paper that he brought with him. When Jen woke up and announced that it was time to move, Black Star perked up. "Wait, everyone I've been working on something!" he held the multiple sheets of paper out and said, "I want you all to have one." Was this a battle plan that Black Star had been thinking about? A secret technique known only to the Star clan of ninjas? Was it a code that could be used for discreet communication? No, as he passed the paper out to the various members of the group, they would find that it was...  His signature. Black Star didn't give one to Nero or Jen, since he gave a copy to everyone in his old group as well. Not waiting for their reaction, Black Star casually put his hands behind his head and said, "No need to thank me; they're going to be huge money as soon as the multiverse knows about how I saved all reality, so you might want to hold on to that. It's your way of proving you might have helped me out a little." |

"What's wrong this time?" he asks in his Adam voice, the electric gun up and ready. Mikasa woke up only moments after Ocelot himself, and it took a few moments for her to realize she wasn't back home. It was the first time she slept since... After the initial alarm, she slowly got back to her feet, ready to venture into the abyss once more. With Adam heaving his gun up and inquiring so alarmingly, Mikasa too went on alert; she looked to Jen with a questioning glance. Nero was laying back arms behind his head resting with his headphones on his ears. His music wasn't playing but it was somewhat of a comfort with them on. He's not easily shaken but after all that has happen he's on edge. There was a reason he worked alone in the Order of the Sword as solo act.

Being around Jen in the heat of battle he trusts her. "What is it Jen?! Nero asked ready for a fight. "Look," Jen replied toward everyone in the group. She pointed toward the city; it was quiet now, all the creatures had either perished or everyone inside had. "I don't see anymore of those freakish fliers. I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing. And what's more, I feel something. I can feel it in the ground and the air, like the heartbeat of a star, I don't know. I do know where it's coming from though, I'm sure you all know." Black Star, having spent his time magically sealed in a dragon's stomach, wasn't feeling particularly restful. First the first hour Black Star worked out, then he meditated, before practicing potential victory one liners. As the hours came to a close, Black Star was sitting and writing on small sheets of paper that he brought with him. When Jen woke up and announced that it was time to move, Black Star perked up.

It's your way of proving you might have helped me out a little." Mikasa took the scrap of paper and eyed it, assuming it had a deeper relevance than it did. She glanced between the paper and Black Star with a silent expression. She wasn't particularly amused. "I don't think this is going to help, Black Star." "Not if we don't survive," Jen pointed out helpfully. "I hope you're all ready and rested, I don't see a better time to move out than now." With that, Jen made way toward the city, assuming the others to follow. "Did you get a chance to test the abilities of that strange fruit?" Jen asked Mikasa as they walked. In response, the soldier nodded, recalling the unique flavor of the fruit as she finished it. "I figured out a trick or two. I hope there aren't any swimming pools where we're going, or it'll have been for nothing." |

"Well, if it's what the doctor ordered I think I'll be fine" Ocelot sighed, pocketing the paper on the off chance it did come in handy. "What's yours do?" he asked, curious what his new friend was on about. Then he turned to Jen.
'By the way, I don't think we were formally introduced".

Crocodile crumbed up the paper that Black Star had given him, he had no time for Black Star's antics. Now that he was well rested and healed up he decided to go with the others to the domed city, anxious to get his revenge on the one behind all this.

Black Star regarded Crocodile with a huff. He put his hands behind his head and began walking casually toward the city, "Well, let's get this show started; it's been too long since I took center stage."

"What's yours do?" he asked, curious what his new friend was on about. Then he turned to Jen. 'By the way, I don't think we were formally introduced". "Well," Mikasa responded, eyeing her hands skeptically, "That Crocodile guy wasn't kidding. I feel different. After eating that fruit, I wasn't sure what to expect, but after some pretty embarrassing trial and error, I learned how to do this..." She focused on her hand and after a few moments, her fingers became razor sharp. The transition was fast, and her fingers took on a metallic hue. "It's unreal." Mikasa finished, still staring at her hand as the group make progress toward the Capitol.
"Jennifer Tennyson is the name!" Her attempt as optimism was evident, but strained given the circumstances. "I'm sorry, I think it'd be nice to know who you are in case we don't make it..."
As they continued walking, the sheer size of the sphere before them loomed high above like a monstrous mountain. They entered the dome through a hole in the glassy material; there were so many they might as well have. The transition from outer Gallifrey to the city was as sudden as leaving the beach to dive into the ocean. The people that lived here were civilized and sophisticated, but the ruins left behind seemed to imply the people had perished. Here and there, bodies were strung about, on the floors, rotting. The smell of death was potent; the creatures that had destroyed the dome were also among the deceased natives, their bodies much more fresh. Blood slicked the streets and homes, and the occasional fires danced in the alleys and upon homes and structures. All the while, the deep reverberating sound from before grew ever stronger.
"Here we are... The Capitol..." Jen's face grew tight with apprehension. "I can sense them now, the mana of the guys we're here for. It's so sinister..." It appeared as they came closer to the center, the general design flowed from residential to something else. The buildings were now so unique it was near impossible to make an analogue with Earthborn structures, but they were definitely getting taller.
