July 12th, 2018: Nighttime
'To shake off the cops, our Convergers had split up after jumping the bridge. Karma had given everyone a building to meet up at once the cops had given up on chasing them. Rokuro was the first to arrive at the building they planned to meet at. It was an abandoned apartment complex that had gone out of business years ago, so there wasn't much change between their current hideout and the previous one. As Rokuro pulled up, he cut the lights on his bike and parked right up front, cutting the engine and flipping the kickstand down.'

Rokuro: Oh right, that fox!! 'Rokuro removed his bag and opened it. Sure enough, the fox cub was still inside, albeit trembling greatly and whimpering.' *Fuck, it's adorable...* So... what are you and why did you hitch a ride with me?

'The fox cub looked up at Rokuro, still trembling and whimpering, before hopping out of the bag. It took a deep breath and stretched, calming itself down before white and orange energy swirled around it. Once the energy had dissipated, the fox cub had been replaced with a very beautiful, black-haired girl who had differently-colored eyes and was currently naked.'

Rokuro: Whoa, okay. He looked away from the girl as the dissipating energy began solidifying into an orange tank-top; a flowing semi-transparent blouse over that; a slightly oversized, white and orange zip hoodie; dark-colored jeans; and heeled boots for the girl to wear. You have clothes on now?

Girl: You can look, it's fine. Rokuro turned to look at the girl, zipping his bag up and slinging it on his back.

Rokuro: Obvious questions first. Who and/or what are you? Why did you travel with me? Where did you come from? And who do you work for? Rokuro summoned a couple of kunai to his hand, igniting their blades.

Girl: My name's Tokime and... I've been looking for you, Rokuro Isurugi.

Rokuro: DON'T CALL ME BY THAT NAME!! 'He shouted at her furiously, throwing the kunai at her. She quickly shifted between a fox cub and her human form in order to dodge them.'

Tokime: S-sorry... Kurenai, right...?

Rokuro: Yes. What the fuck do you want from me, witch? He summoned another set of flaming Kunai, glaring at her.

Tokime: I-I was sent by the Gods to this world as well. You know how it is... Our home world is dying, and the Gods have begun sending its inhabitants to this world to preserve our existence. I-I'm... a Kitsune, and you killed my mother in your bout of insanity...

Rokuro: So you want revenge. Is that it?

Tokime: N-no! My mother was a succubus, and it may have been better for her to die... My father raised me to be a good girl, and I plan to keep that going.

Rokuro: You won't be able to suppress those succubus instincts forever, Kitsune.

Tokime: I-I know... B-but even still! I won't fall to her level and prey off of men's desires to live!

Rokuro: Noble words for one who has the blood of a sex demon and a trickster running through her veins.

Tokime: My father raised me above those stereotypes! I may carry the blood of a trickster and lust demon in me, but that doesn't mean I don't want to change that!

Rokuro: Why did you follow me?

Tokime: I... I've been following you for a long time, actually... Ever since you killed my mother, I've been following you. I wanted to kill you, but that would do nothing. I was... curious about your presence. I supposed I've developed an attachment to you...

Rokuro: I don't need a familiar, thank you.

Tokime: N-no. The Gods gave me another reason to follow you. She carved a magic rune into the air, opening a portal to a pocket dimension so she could present Rokuro a sheathed sword. This is for you.

Rokuro: Another sword, fun... What's the catch?

Tokime: It's... Museigen. The sword of unlimited blades. The Gods forgot to give this to you before they sent you away, so they had me deliver it to you.

Rokuro: Museigen... That Legendary sword, wielded by a legendary swordsman who used the blade without limits?

Tokime: Indeed. The Gods said that Museigen lies dormant in its sheathe, unable to be drawn until it finds a new master who can handle its power.

Rokuro: Why give this to me, then? I have no power, just burning rage...

Tokime: The Gods do not seem to think so. If they entrusted me to deliver this powerful sword to you, then they must believe you are worthy of it.

Rokuro: I can't wield it. I have no right to it. You keep it and leave me alone. 'Rokuro used his Kunai to open a magic portal so he could grab his suitcases before heading into the abandoned apartment complex to rest. Tokime followed him, still holding the sword.'

Tokime: Rokuro, please! If the Gods deem you worthy of Museigen, then you must be!

Rokuro: I don't care, stop following me. You don't have anything that can influence me to take it.

Tokime: Your brothers and sister are in this world, too! 'Rokuro stopped dead in his tracks, right in front of the front desk of the apartment complex. Tokime had stopped just short of bumping into him, staring at him.' I get that mentioning your family around you is taboo, but I don't have any other choice. Your older brother, the Knight of Void, is looking for you! Your older sister, the Blood-lacerating Queen, is with him, and your twin brother is also here! They forced the Gods to send them after you! When the Gods appeared in front of you, they were in corporeal forms that could directly damage their Souls. They brutally beat the Gods until they yielded to their will and gave them a week before they were to be dispatched here! The Gods talked to me right after this, and gave me two weeks to prepare for this. It's been, what, 2 years since we arrived here? In that time, your siblings have been trying to track you down. I have been too, and I'm lucky to have reached you before them.

Rokuro: I won't be able to win against them. Kumon is a berserker made of Void. Akane is a blood-letting, manipulative bitch. Seiji, I never bothered with him. Being his twin, he's bound to be as strong as me. He's got the Void Walker power too, so he's already got an advantage. I don't stand a chance against all three at once.

Tokime: But you did managed to stand against them! Your first fight with them after years, and you were able to beat them back!

Rokuro: Just the Gods' presence assisting me. They must've been waiting for that fight to happen for a long time.

Tokime: Why not at least try to fight them?! Didn't you make a promise?! To master your soul and keep the mighty sword you own out of the hands of the Isurugi?!

Rokuro: ...You're not exerting your trickery and magic on me, are you? He turned around and faced her, setting his cases down.

Tokime: I tell you the truth, and nothing but the truth. She held up Museigen to Rokuro one more time. I will ask this of you for all of eternity until you accept. Take Museigen, master your Soul, and defeat your family. You didn't deserve to suffer, but you deserve to take vengeance and right the wrongs they inflicted on you.

Rokuro: And what will you do once I accept your proposition?

Tokime: I... I'll stay by your side. I will try to encourage your growth, and I will fight alongside you. My fate seems to be intertwined with yours, and I will accept it gratefully.

Rokuro: ...Fine. He sighed and took the sword, tossing it into his pocket dimension that held his other swords. I'm going to find a room to rest in until my friends arrive. We'll have to explain a lot to them when they get here... Rokuro grabbed his suitcases and looked for a room to stay in.

Tokime: Thank you... She seemed to shed a tear before wiping it away and following him with a smile.

'Soon after another bike was heard pulling over. By the sound of the roaring engine, it was obvious it was Jacken's motorcycle of ostensible manhood and virility. He packed away his things in one of the apartment rooms and met with Rokuro for casual discussion about the escape and Tokime.'

Rokuro: So... how about that bridge jump? Rokuro asked Jacken as he sat down on one of the couches in the front room as Tokime shifted back into fox cub form and curled up next to him, napping.

Jacken: Fuck the bridge jump for a sec, what the hell is that creature? Do all foxes here do that...?

Rokuro: Ah, her. She's a fox-spirit/succubus hybrid from my world who was sent her to inform me that... my siblings are in this world now. And she also gave me another sword, so that's cool. He started petting Tokime, causing her tail to sway gently. Her name's Tokime.

Jacken: That's harsh, dude.

'Soon the sound of videos were getting closer as a motorcycle without headlights pulled up. It had a simple projection on its front mirror that seemed to playing a YouTube video that cut off when the figure got off the motorcycle. It was revealed to be Karma (obviously). His helmet dematerialized and he walked up to the apartment complex with his backpack on his back. Once he got up the stairs and eventually got to the room they were in, Karma smiled, throwing his backpack to the ground. '

Karma: What's goin' on guys? 'He eyed the fox that Rokuro was petting. 'Did I... miss something? Oh also... 'He pulled out his phone, pressed the screen a couple times and several snacks came out of the phone, digitalized. 'Want some?

Rokuro: Sure. 'Rokuro grabbed a bag of chips and opened it, feeding Tokime a chip. She sniffed it before nibbling on the chip and gulping it down, wagging her tail to show she enjoyed it.' Hm, alright then. Oh yeah, this is my pet fox, her name's Tokime. She's a succubus and a fox-spirit hybrid, and she gave me a sword and told me that my siblings are here in this world. So, I'm gonna be hunting them while they hunt me. Fun. He fed Tokime another chip before eating one himself.

Jacken: Thank you. He takes a packet of crisps and begins eating. Good shit. We never had shit this good on Gaia's Earth. Just...fruit. Good fruit but...fruit...

Karma: Interesting so a fox... And your family? Don't rage out and destroy the apartment, like last when Yann mentioned your family... 'He has a flashback and shivers. 'Also, why're you eating stale fries? And feeding your fox stale fries? W-What's wrong with you? You monster... Karma shakes his head disappointingly.

Rokuro: Oh god... I-I just wanted Pringles... Rokuro looks at the fries and debates whether or not to heat them up. Isn't it more your fault for taking these fries and letting them go stale in the first place? Rokuro sets them aside and grabs a can of Pringles, opening them up and feeding them to Tokime. In any case, her name's Tokime. 'Tokime nibbles on the Pringles and wags her tail in approval of the snack, pawing at the can for more. Rokuro feeds her another before eating one himself.'

Roland arrived, looking at the complex, sighing, he went to their room, before they noticed him, he saw the fox cup, gasping, he still had his suit on, so his voice was still deeper.

Roland: PUPPY! Before anyone could explain, he grabbed the fox pup, raising it in the air I christen you as...Kojima... He looked at the fox pup, falling for the cuteness.

Rokuro: Her name's Tokime. He ate more Pringles as Tokime transformed into her human form, opting to leave her clothing off this time so Roland was essentially holding a naked girl by her armpits. I see the succubus genes and trickster instincts are resurfacing.

Tokime: Might as well have a joke every now and then, right? Otherwise, life gets pretty bland. She replied to Rokuro as she booped Roland's mask before leaving his arms and forming her clothes as she sat down next to Rokuro and ate Pringles.

Rokuro: You are going to be a very mischievous companion, aren't you?

Tokime: Only when I feel like it. And my name is not Kojima, it's Tokime!

Roland looked down, there were no puppies there for him.

Jacken scoffs at this shameful display of lewd behaviour to a woman, not understanding the humour behind it.

Jacken: *Do I... treat her as a beast or a woman...shit.*

Tokime: I'm a woman, not a monster! She pouted as she read Jacken's mind, nibbling on Pringles.

Rokuro: For the sake of clarity, we're going to consider her another person... who just so happens to have the ability to shapeshift into a fox cub...

Karma: 'He watched all this unfold as he quietly ate his cookies. 'Interesting.

Rokuro: The things that happen when you're a group of people from different Earths, man. It's great. Rokuro decides to turn the stale fries into ashes, which he then throws out the window before eating his Pringles with Tokime. But yeah, that bridge jump. That was fucking awesome, Karma. Nice one.

Karma: He smirked as he got excited Hell yeah dude! Most epic shit we've done in a while! 'He stands up. 'Imagine the shit we could do, we're so free and unrestricted. No more bridge jumps though, I honestly thought I was gonna die when I hit the ground, my nuts got fucked up... He holds his crotch and sighs deeply.

Rokuro: Damn, man! Rokuro chuckled. That shit was awesome, you just gotta stick the landing better, that's all.

Tokime: You guys are crazy... Tokime shuddered as she remembered bouncing around inside of Rokuro's backpack during the chase.

Rokuro: Well, get used to that, sweetie. He pet her before finishing the can of Pringles.

Tokime: S-sweetie?! 'She blushed heavily and looked down, embarrassed. Rokuro chuckled again.'

Rokuro: What's the matter? The mischievous Kitsune-succubus can't handle being teased?

Tokime: Jeez...

Rokuro: You'll find someone for yourself eventually. Whether or not that person is me, there's really no way of knowing until we get there. But yeah, that bike chase was fucking awesome!

Tokime: Please remind me to cast some anti-nausea spells for myself next time...

Rokuro: You're gonna need to have that spell on standby then.

Tokime: Oh dear...

Karma: 'He raises his eyebrows at them, seeing the clear chemistry they're having. *Heh, godspeed, Rokuro...* He smiled and laughed a little as he ate his cookie. He glanced over at Roland and did a double-take as he saw him actually depressed over not having a puppy. 'Oh boy.

Jacken: *No way to treat a woman, tch.* Think Yann fell off his new bike or something?

Rokuro: Probably. Give him some time to catch up, he just got the bike and shit. 'Rokuro pet Tokime, who transforms back to her fox cub form and begins pawing at Roland to comfort him. '

Roland's mask deformed, showing his face, as he sat down, putting her in his arms, holding her like a teddy bear in a gentle manner.

Roland: *''Listen only to the sound of my voice. Let your mind relax. Let your thoughts drift. Let the bad memories fade. Let peace be upon you. Surrender yourself to your dreams. Let them wash over you like the gentle waves of the bluest ocean. Let them envelop you. Comfort you. Imagine somewhere calm. Imagine somewhere safe. Imagine yourself in a frozen forest. You're standing in a clearing. Trees around you so tall, they touch the sky. Pure white snowflakes fall all around. You can feel them melt on your skin. You are not cold. It cannot overcome the warmth of your beating heart. Can you hear it? You only have to listen. Can you hear it slowing? You're slowing it. You are in control. Calm. At peace.*'' He sighed in relief, smiling, finally being able to finish the mental mantra.

As soon as Roland finished his mental mantra, a ring flew in the room and enlarged to become a purple portal, the sound of the loud engine of Angela filled up the room and stopped before Jonas ran out of the portal in panic, stumbling on his own feet

Jonas: W-woaaah!!! 'he looked around to see all the convergers staring at him with embarrassment, he stepped back in shock then felt down, breathing heavily. Yann walked out of the portal right after Jonas felt'

Yann: Sorry for the delay, I felt off the bike because Jonas tried to run away...Oh...by the way...he pointed at Jonas who was still on panicking ...that's Jonas, my....Boss?..., Jonas, You already know Karma, the mean looking guy over there is Jacken, That's Roland right there and that's Rokuro...he saw the fox cub Is that a fat rat or something?

Jonas: Uh..Uuh...he suddenly got up, still dizzy from the chase ....I'm Jonas!!! he turned to look at Yann with a worried look ...what is happening Yann...???

Yann: Oh...Do I really need to explain of of it? he looked at the other convergers who were all staring silently ...Oh okay then...We are all beings from other worlds, We killed that giant thing earlier...and I guess people don't like being saved here so now the police, actually probably the whole world is after us.

Jonas: W-What? What the hell? What!? Naaah! No, No, No! This isn't happening...this is a dream, I'm sure that's just a dr-

Yann: No it isn't...actually it doesn't matter, you can keep thinking it's a dream if you want, You will snap out of it eventually.

Jonas: No, Fuck this! Fuck all of this! he started to walk out of the room but then a ring wrapped around him to immobilize him 

Yann: Go outside and you will just get shot, you were with us today, they probably think you are one of us. the ring dissipated and Jonas just turned back to face the group

Jonas: Okay...Okay then...Okay he went to lean against the nearest wall, still wearing a worrisome look

Yann: Anyway...what's the plan?

Jacken: I can't believe you brought your boss with you. He's from this world, what if he tells the citizens about our origins?

Yann: We are already wanted and considered a great danger, citizens knowing our origins won't change a thing. He sat down on the ground and put his backpack next to him, pulling a bottle of water out and drinking some of it.

Karma: He looks toward Jonas Don't worry, you'll get used to this eventually... You also need your own bike. Can't have you falling off Yann's bike, as well as weigh it down. 'He stands up and stretches, now eating a fresh warm pretzel. He walked to the other end of the room, looking out the window onto the empty grass field of the building. He saw their bikes and turned back around to face them while having his nonchalant face. 'We've gotta leave. And just... travel. Staying in one place too long is dangerous due to the possibility of us using powers again and getting into another accident. I mean... If we could stay and not use powers, and chill, then we'd be fine. But we have too much heat right now to stay in this single place for too long. We've gotta go, either tonight or fresh in the morning. What do you guys think? 'He stood attentive, ready for anybody's input. '

Jacken: I was placed here with you guys for some reason. And that reason was surely not to murder all the protectors of this city. So I will not wait around for them to find and attack us. We should leave at dawn.

Rokuro: We'll leave tomorrow morning. Better get some rest before we start spending the majority of our lives on the road. Tokime looked up at Roland, then back to Rokuro, who simply shrugged. Cut him some slack, he's been through a lot. Tokime nodded and curled up in Roland's arms.

Karma: Welp, it's decided. We leave in the morning. Find somewhere nice to sleep guys. Night. 'Karma kneels simply walks to the other side of the room and lays on his back, helping his backpack under his head. He closes his eyes, as the veins in his body glow green and become slightly visible from under his skin. He had just activated his Mitokinesis and gone into the meditation state, but soon will fall asleep in this state, which heals him too 100% and keeps him at 100%. Kind of like charging your phone and leaving it charged while you sleep. '

Around the same time, in another state
'A man with white hair and orange eyes was sitting on the couch of his penthouse apartment, watching the news. A breaking news report about a giant stone monster attacking Chicago earlier was followed up by a wild police chase involving multiple motorcyclists roaring through the streets before they all jumped a raised bridge and split off to lose the cops. Immediately, the man sat up and watched the news report intently as the door unlocked and two people walked in. One of them looked... exactly like Rokuro, except he wore white and green clothing. The other looked to be his older sister, in a black and red casual outfit. She had removed her heavy coat and hung it on the coatrack as the Rokuro look-alike walked into the main room and watched the news.'

"Rokuro": Ain't that crazy? First a giant stone monster, now some raving lunatics on motorcycles? Why did the Gods send us to this fuck-hole world?

White-haired Man: I thought I told you to stop questioning the Gods, Seiji. They sent the disgrace here, so we followed to hunt him down. Simple as that.

Seiji: Yeah, yeah... Still, you'd think that word of our disgraced brother would've spread like a wildfire. Seiji waved his hands in the air as he said the next sentence. "Wild, raving Japanese lunatic stumbling through the alleys." Seriously, Kumon. He should've been easy to find.

Kumon: Did you forget that he has common sense too? Even if he was insane enough to denounce the Isurugi name, he has to have some amount of common sense. How was today's shoot, Akane?

Akane: Had a swimsuit session today, the photographers were all over me.

Kumon: Given that many men are trying to take your hand in marriage for beauty alone, I'm not surprised. 'Akane went to the fridge to grab a beer for herself and Kumon, sitting down next to him and handing him the beer. He cracked it open and took a large gulp.'

Seiji: So... you think that giant stone thing has something to do with our fuck-up of a sibling?

Akane: Possibly, but we don't have any solid evidence linking him to it.

Kumon: Wait... The news was doing a follow-up story on the wild motorcycle chase and monster attack, which had a zoomed-in and blurry shot of what looked like... a dark blue and red samurai throwing a trio of flaming kunai at the Titan. That... that looks awfully familiar, don't you think?

Seiji: Called it! Where was that incident? We can track it down and fly out there!

Akane: Somewhere in Chicago... But let's be honest, he's probably already fled the city. Motorcycles and cars are much faster than the horses we used to own. He could be anywhere within several miles, we can't pinpoint his exact location. Think, Seiji.

Seiji: i just wanna kill him already! Over and over, then absorb his soul and make it my own!

Akane: Patience, little brother. You'll have your time.

Seiji: Yeah, yeah... I'm gonna head to sleep. Seiji got up and left for the bathroom to prepare for sleep.

Fresh at 5:41am
'Karma woke up first, as he set an internal alarm clock in his body. He yawned and got up, inspecting his body tiredly, not seeing anymore injuries. He was full of energy as he grabbed tiny pieces of debris off the ground and threw it at everyone hard enough to wake up them. '

Karma: Wake up guys! Time to go! 'He grabbed his backpack, and slung it around one shoulder, going down the apartment complex and out to their bikes. The sunrise didn't hit yet, as he nonchalantly walked to his bike, placing his phone on the seat. He placed his backpack on the ground and snapped his fingers, as the backpack, transformed into pixels and entered a certain file in his phone. He placed his phone in his back pocket as he waited for everyone to get up. '

'Soon, Jacken exited the complex, seeming fully rested. Him and Karma chatted for a little bit and Jacken asked that he digitally store his shield and greatsword for him. Karma complied and stored them in his phone under a file named "Jacken's stuff". Once everyone began to come out, Karma was thinking that he should change his appearance and bike color temporarily, so he did just that. He held out his hand at Mirage, and black colored pixels started to peel off and drift upwards into the air disintegrated as a dark red paint coat was now revealed. Karma also did that with his clothes, as they shredded apart and new ones took its place.  He made sure everyone was ready to go and finally mounted Mirage when everyone road off ahead of him. They drove at blistering speeds down the highway, heading Southwest to Peoria, a nearby city where they could hopefully feel free. They left at 6:11 am and drove almost 2 hours to Peoria. During the ride they gleefully chatted from the Bluetooth connection in their helmets. At some points during the ride, the group would form mini impromptu races against each other for fun. Once they reached Peoria, the group talked for one last time before splitting up to explore the city. Karma himself went to a coffee shop, parallel parks between two cars and orders coffee inside, sitting down by himself and listens to music. '

8:34am, Over to Yann and Jonas
Yann and Jonas were at a gas station filling up Angela, they were both wearing their helmets, Yann was filling up the tank while Jonas was kneeling next to the bike, looking at it in wonder

Jonas: I can't believe it...I still can't believe it...

Yann: ...

Jonas: How did your friend transformed Angela like that?

Yann: Didn't I tell you, we come from other worlds.

Jonas: That doesn't really help...I'm still clueless about what is happening... he stood up ...So you are from another w-world?

Yann: Argh...Yet again, the answer is yes.

Jonas: Like...A parallel universe!?

Yann: I don't know.

Jonas: W..what was it like in your world then?!

Yann: A lot of snow, A lot of dead people, Not a lot of fun.

Jonas: W-what??

A worker of the gas station suddenly walked next to Yann while he was ignoring Jonas

Worker: Oh boy, that's certainly a big tank you got there! haha!

Yann: Yea.

Worker:Hmmm, Isn't it hard to see with these helmets on? haha.

Yann: No.

the worker suddenly put his hand on the modified Dirt Bike 

Worker: In my decade of working here, I have never seen anything like this boy! where did ya get that? I might offer one to my son, he really likes those otherworldly looking things!

Jonas: O-O-Otherworldly?

Worker: Uh? he looked at Yann Does ya friend got some stutter hahaha! I had that too as a kid.

Yann: Great story. Yann's expression didn't change, but he clearly wanted this tank to be filled as soon as possible

Worker: I know right! He has a voice very similar to you, very cold and calm hahaha, he also has the same built, actually you are starting to make me think that you are mah son boy haha

Yann: ....

Worker: At what highschool did you go, maybe you met each others once!

Yann: Uh... At what highschool did we go Jonas?

Jonas: I forgot.

Yann: I forgot too.

Worker: Anyway so like I was sayin', that's a big tank boy, imma buy one just like that for mah son who is a yo....this man was still going on and on while Yann and Jonas were quietly filling up Angela, their visit of the town was not going to be a very entertaining one.

12 PM, with Jacken and Roland
Roland and Jacken were both at Burger King, waiting in line.

Roland was at a Burger King, waiting in line Roland: Back at home they called it a Burger Queen...

Jacken: Burgers aren't even a thing in my world. Meat consumption was a sin.

Roland: So an ice tea for you only?

Jacken: The Gods don't exist here. I'm sure eating a burger won't offend their legacies.' He smirks, yearning for the taste of a good burger. Roland takes out two double pattie, BBQ, bacon burgers with some Onion rings.'

Roland: I can't wait to see how much you'll love it... He was grinning, eating his own already.

Jacken takes a bite, slowly chewing it weirdly.

Jacken: Hm, it's certainly a foreign taste compared to the fruit I used to eat back home. This Earth has shit fruit. But this burger... I like it.

Roland: I can't wait to show you the wonders of--- Suddenly a dead fish drops in front of both of them.

Jacken: What? What's this? More was raining down, Roland was reminded of wars with the Deep Ones, he looked at each fish including the one near them producing an odor, like that of dead human bodies, as each fish started leaking with a black fluid, Roland's eyes widened. It rains fish here?

Roland: I-It can't be... The black fluid was bleeding out more.

Jacken: What's wrong? You, you don't like fish? He chuckled

Roland: Did I ever tell you guys what kind of war I fought in my home?

Jacken: I remember vague stories...

Roland: Raining dead fish, it was a sign of Deep Ones attacking...

Jacken: Deep Ones? Ocean dwellers...?

Roland: ADVANCED Ocean Dwellers, they nearly wiped us all out...

Jacken: Oh no, no no no. I don't deal with undersea...things. First a titan comes here, if your damn fish monsters teleport themselves here I swear...! He seemed to be getting worked up over the thought.

Roland: Scared? Wouldn't blame you... It was obvious he was still traumatized'

Jacken: The sea, it's a sign of death where I'm from. We don't fuck with the sea, we accept it, we feed from it, we don't test it.

Roland: You sound like someone who'd turn on their belly for those water dwelling assholes...At least you aren't praising Psychos.

Jacken: I think we should leave. 'He noticed people questioning the fish rain. Roland nodded, a girl in a jacket watched them, she spoke on an inter com in code, she began tailing them.'

Over at Karma again
'He sips his coffee loudly, as he has headphones on, watching Game of Thrones on his phone. The waitress comes to bring him his toast with butter on it and he looks up at her, thanking her for it and continues to watch the show some more. He continues to watch but after a while his video starts buffering. He patiently waits for it to start again but it suddenly goes out of full-screen and going to the home page, then to settings. He looks at the phone confusingly as he mentally switches it back to Game of Thrones but a few seconds later his phone locks. He sighs as he takes off his earphones after being a little annoyed and hears other customers complaining about their devices. He dismisses this but suddenly the lights in the café begin to flicker and turn off. The cash register begins to shoot out money uncontrollably and Karma grunts as he gets up, putting his phone in his pocket. He takes his coffee with him and exits the store.'

Karma: What the fuck was up with that store… 'He walks to Mirage and it starts up before he sits on it. He holds the cup of coffee in one hand as he drives off down the street, veering past traffic. He takes sips of his coffee as he’s driving but feels a little pulse n his head which doesn’t do much so he ignores it. Suddenly the pulse becomes more and more frequent and he looks down at Mirage to see it trying to turn into a wall or pole. *Wait, is someone trying to hack it?* He mentally checks the pulse in his head and sees coding trying to break through a firewall he’s set up for Mirage. He inspects the complex coding as he veers past more traffic and begins to realize it’s not normal coding. '*Oh you’re good…*

'He smirks as he throws the coffee at a car as he passes it and tries to counter-hack but feels a strong firewall as strong as his. Suddenly he notices as several city blocks on the road behind start flickering, as they all start blacking out. He sees more buildings and shops blackout, including street lights and even car headlights. He drives faster, sensing a metaphysical “wave” hacking through the city, disabling all the electronics and technology, so he tries to escape it. The hack reaches Mirage, as he feels a stronger, abnormal pulse hit his brain, giving him an increasingly painful headache. Karma slows down slightly, letting the “hack wave” pass him. He mentally hooks onto the code in his head, trying to find where it originated. He sees several lines manifest in the city, coming from his head and entering through power lines and buildings, like a giant web of connections. One line is red, which is where the signal seems to be coming from. He follows it, driving slowly as he's placing a lot of focus into keeping the web up, and eventually he arrives at a warehouse in the corner of the city where the signal came from. The signal was interrupted a few feet outside the warehouse, as it seems a powerful firewall was digitally protecting the warehouse, making Karma digitally blind to what's inside.'

Karma: Here we go. Who is this mysterious hacker… 'He left fist glows as it gains more digital mass and he punches at the door, sending it flying. He walks briskly inside, looking around and inspecting the place, not seeing anyone. He walks through the warehouse as he sees all sorts of equipment set up on shelves and left on the floor. He notices more doors to the next buildings, realizing this was a connection of several warehouses, but it was devoid of any people. After wondering where the hacker was, several computers around the place switched on, their monitors shining brightly. They all displayed digital patterns and were scrolling through pages of code, several displaying digital faces. They were collecting digital currency, some showing surveillance footage, and some collecting personal information and intercepting phone calls or emails. They were all bots, but Karma knew some random scam bot couldn't have nearly hacked Mirage. He continued on, ignoring the bots because he was distracted by a noise in the next room. He kicked open the door and saw several projectors instantly switch on, projecting a digitally blurred face on the wall. The face moved, it was live, and started speaking to Karma in a loud, deep, digitally altered voice.'

Voice: YOU SHOULDN'T BE IN HERE! GET OUT! 'The voice started buzzing, as a bunch of small drones came out from behind empty boxes. 'YOU WERE FOOLISH TO ENTER THE DOMAIN OF MALWARE! 'Karma was obviously unthreatened, the voice wasn't scary, but tried hard to be. He walked straight through the projection, opening up the curtain it was projected onto and seeing a young teenage girl sitting on the floor holding a voice changer and laptop.' MY DRONES WILL DESTR-oy, oh shit. 'The girl stared at Karma for several seconds, before quickly getting up, as her laptop transformed into a backpack. She held her hand out at Karma, as a large red fist came out and punched him in the face. He saw she run off past him, exiting the warehouse. He heard more mechanical noises, and the ignition of a motorbike.'

Karma: Oh no you don’t! 'He gets up and turns digital, passing into technology, going through the data and outside. His body shoots out of an electrical wire as he tackles her off the motorbike, gets on top of her and holds his hand at her face as his palm glows arctic blue.' Make a move and I blast you in the face. Who are you? And why did you try to hack me? He said this with slight anger in his voice.

Girl: Get the fuck off me! She said as her voice cracked. Okay, don't shoot me with that-! I-I’m Malware, the hacker? Heard of me? Of course you have!

Karma: He tries to think but he shakes his head slowly No… I haven’t. Also you call that hacking? He smirked.

Malware: Oh fuck you, I would've broken through that shitty firewall in seconds!

Karma: He lets out a laugh as Mirage drives itself and stops next to him. No you wouldn’t have. 'He gets off of her. 'Now why’d you try to hack me? And this whole city? He looked around at the buildings and saw the lights were one-by-one starting to turn on.

Malware: Because I got bored, I wanted to test my new bots. It's fine, I do it every month. I don't keep the money I take anyway.

Karma: He backs up and sits on Mirage while thinking. I don’t care about that but… Your hacking is good, where are you really from? You have powers and can hack really good.

Malware: That's an understatement. My hacking...is unrivaled. 'She holds her hands up as red pixels form together spikes and triangles around her fingers, before deactivating them. 'What about you, how'd you find me? Was it that signal I left open…? Haha. Karma: Yeah… That was amateurish. He joked But, I just… come from a world where I was born with these powers. So naturally, I’m super good with my “Data” powers. I also can manipulate my own cells but that’s for another time. Are you from this world?

Malware: 'She looked confused, a little shocked. 'This world…? You woke up here too? This is not some... simulation? I... I come from a different place too, different from this world. I was born with Data powers as well…

Karma:' He nodded, thinking about his friends and how they came from different worlds. 'Woah. Me and my friends came from different worlds. I came from this world with 5 planets… He sighed as he thought about his father, so he closed his eyes and started counting, until Malware broke his train of thought.

Malware: Five planets…? She looked at him strangely, before straightening herself up. My name, it's really Marie. But you said you came from a world with five planets? So do I…

Karma: That’s a coincidence. I came from a place there called Dynast. Maybe our universes are parallel.

Marie: Dynast, how do you know all this? That's not possible… because that's exactly the name of the planet I'm from. You better start explaining, because you're freaking me out.

'Before Karma could respond, a sudden quake shook beneath their feet. After a few seconds, very distant screams were heard as a roar echoed through the sky.'

Karma: W-What? Gotta get a better view! 'He turned into data and traveled into the electrical system of a nearby skyscraper, arriving to a satellite at the top of it. He looked around and to the north, managed to see a familiar looking monster a few city blocks away in between tall skyscrapers. It seems fairly large as it walked slowly down the street. What is that?!

'Marie’s bike turned into a backpack that attached to her bag. She headed towards the wall of the building as her legs turned pixelated, she ran up the walls with her legs keeping her attached to it. She reached the roof as the red and black pixels faded away.'

Marie: Woah! Hey... I-I recognise that thing…

Karma: R-Really? He looks at her surprised and looks back in its direction. I do too…. Let’s go investi- Before he could finish the monster inhaled deeply, Karma and Marie could hear the high pitched sound of it breathing in. 'They both recognized it and Karma instantly used his powers on his eyes to zoom his vision in, seeing the monster was a two-headed Wolf. '*I know that thing!! A Kolu!!!* 'He instantly materialized his helmet around his head and made it connected around his ears so that he couldn’t hear anything. Marie created two digital earpieces that expanded and covered her ears like earmuffs. Suddenly the creature roared a deep roar, the two heads in different pitches. The building that Karma and Marie were standing on rattled like it was cardboard. Karma could still slightly hear its roar and his heart was racing from confusion, fear and excitement. Marie was feeling a sharp, stinging fear, this was something she hadn't experienced before in person. As it finished roaring, Karma simply took off his helmet, hearing louder screams than before, seeing many cars driving wildly like it was the end of the world. Karma looked back at Marie with wide eyes.'

Karma: Are you okay?? He saw her with the digital earmuffs. *How did she know to…*

Marie: The earmuffs turned back into earpieces Yeah… I didn't hear the screech of the Kolu, I'm fine. But everyone else… She noticed the stunned civilians We have to stop that monster! *Shit, General Han always told me to avoid those, I don't even know how to fight it…* Y-you go first, I'll flank it.

Karma: Could you actually be from my world too? You knew what this was… His head snapped tback owards the action. Okay… Well get to the ground and follow me! 'He traveled to the ground by data and instantly mounted Mirage. As it turned on, he expected her to be right behind him and he drove off with intense speed.' *Hope the group can get to this monster too…*

'Marie jumped up into the air as her backpack generated a small thrust from behind, slowing her descent to the ground. Before she touched the ground the backpack quickly unfolded and formed a motorbike, with parts digitalised onto it such as the engine etc. She was automatically mounted on the bike, and followed Karma on it. Her bike wasn't as fast as Mirage, but it was enough to keep a steady distance between the two vehicles. They drove down several city blocks until they reached the Kolu, it wasn't a safe distance but the creature hadn't noticed them yet.'

Marie: ''You know how to kill this thing? She intercepted his comms to communicate with him. I read a bit about some Vaean monsters, but I never fought a Kolu before…''

Karma: ''So you are from my world! I-I didn’t know anyone crossed over! Could my father have… '''He shrugged off the thought and focused on the creature. Since you’ve never fought one before, let me show you the ropes! He sped near its feet as it stomped again, civilians running in fear. He drove near its two heads and Mirage ejected him roughly but speedily from the seat past its two heads. He created a digital construct chain that formed from pixels and before he could pass their heads, he threw his chain around one head, as it wrapped around it once. He flew past their head then landed on its back and he pulled with all his strength. One head whipped back, trying to pull it back down, but Karma was resisting. So that they don’t sync their roars next time, you gotta pull the heads in different directions! He started to get pulled forward as he was losing the strength battle against the beast.' Hurry and injure it somehow!

Marie: Um, okay! 'She skidded her bike to a halt, facing its side towards the Kolu. She aimed her hand at it, careful not to shoot Karma. She constructed a virus in her hand, it was a black orb with red pixels being expelled from it like a digital grenade. She launched it at the Kolu as it struck it in its stomach. On impact, it started to burn the beast, sizzling through its stomach like acid.'

Karma: Good!

'Suddenly his body gets whipped forward as the beast yanks its head forward at breakneck speeds, sending Karma flying. He hit the ground hard and rolled a few, stopping and laying there for a few seconds before struggling to get up. Helicopters and police cars were heard in the background arriving to the scene, but this time there were more helicopters, filming or just ready to attack. That was when the beast inhaled and Karma recognized it was going to roar again. His helmet digitalized and Marie’s earmuffs formed around her ears.'

Karma: These people are all f- 'The Kolu’s two heads screeched, sending shockwaves at Karma and Marie, causing them to fly down the street, before they each created constructs to keep themselves from going any farther. Each of the Kolu heads’ screeching pitch began to slowly sync with each other, becoming more and more loud. Karma and Marie cringed at this sound, as some of the sound was going through their protections. Once their pitches completely synced up, they felt their bodies become heavy, as if they didn’t have full control of them, but were still able to move. Around the city, all the civilians and even the rest of Karma’s group felt paralyzed, unable to move due to the magical properties of the screech. Crashes began to ensue everywhere, as nobody had any control over their bodies and the helicopter pilots couldn’t fly their vehicles, so they began to wreck into each other and into the ground below them. This single screech caused mass chaos around the city, but Karma and Marie looked at each other and nodded ready to keep fighting.'

Karma: *I’ve felt worse gravity on Dynast, this is nothing, thanks to the helmet. Hope she can keep up…* 'He digitally created another chain and ran at the Kolu, throwing his chain around its neck once more. Mirage drove under Karma, helping him get speed and drive up the building at intense speeds, he spotted a crane on a city block behind the Kolu. He drove onto the roof and Mirage jumped the gap onto the next building, the chain kept extending so that the screech couldn’t stop yet. Once Karma was close enough he got ejected from his seat once more, high up past the crane, hanging over the street. He started to fall, as he stopped extending the chain and once he passed over the crane, his chain landed onto the crane immediately stopping Karma from falling, and giving the Kolu a HUGE tug at its neck, snapping it. This dislocated Karma’s right arm as he fell to the ground, but this successfully stopped the Kolu from screeching anymore as one of its necks were broken. Mirage came to his rescue as it caught up, but injuring him even more due to the force. Mirage stopped as Karma rolled onto the ground, breathing heavily. The Kolu was going wild as one of its neck was broken and couldn’t screech anymore.'

Karma: Marie we gotta finish it before it can do more damage! He relocated his arm, as he took the pain and rode towards the beast once more, distracting it with video torrent, but a more intense barrage.

'Marie nodded, holding her palms together and forming a green digital orb. It was unstable, manipulating the air around and sending off fading green pixels. She tossed it as the Kolu, it hit the beast doing no immediate damage. The beast grunted, but suddenly it started shaking, as it grew several more heads like a hydra and its arms started digitalising in and out of existence. The heads overwhelmed the Beast's neck and exploded, sending all the extra heads flying off onto the ground. The heads all disappeared, being only hard light projections, but one of the heads that tore off was the Kolu’s broken head. Marie ran up to the severed Kolu head and kicked it at the creature, it struck the Kolu’s remaining head and exploded in digital energy. This angered the Kolu greatly, as it chased after her.'

Marie: Oh fuck! 'Her rampack detached from her back and came around her body, attaching to her chest. It opened up like a full-body riot shield to protect her body. The Kolu clawed at her, scratching the riot shield but protecting Marie. She moved the shield aside, holding it in one hand, then formed three digital red spikes over her fist on her free hand. She aimed the hand as the spikes shot up at the Kolu and pierced its eyes on its remaining head, blinding it. Marie stepped back as it roared out of control. The Kolu was about to roar again, so Marie's rampack shot out from its thruster and gave her a slight jump boost up to the Kolu’s head. She swung her arm, creating a thin but large blade of light around her arm the size of a building. It cut the Kolu’s lower jaw off, preventing it from screeching. She landed back on the ground and backed away.' ''Karma? How do you kill this thing?''

Karma: ''Don’t worry. I got it. '''He drove at the beast from behind and jumped off of Mirage, creating a digital greatsword and slashed into the Kolu’s hind leg. He didn’t fully slash through, so with all his strength, he pulled out the digital blade, causing the Kolu to fall. He backed away at the right time to not get hit. He then ran back at it and jumped on its back, creating a chainsaw and impaling it with it, running it through its spine slowly. The construct shattered due to the Kolu’s bones being very dense, but all of its nerves failed and it fell to the ground, trying its hardest to move. Now... He breathed heavily. '''Kill it, stab its heart. I’ll get its head.' ''He created a hand construct that was larger than his and grabbed both its ears, tearing them off slowly, trying to reveal its bone. He then forms a smaller dagger type weapon, but increases the digital mass into it, making it dense and drives it through the dense bone and into the Kolu’s brain, making it spasm, trying to get away. 'Come on Marie!

'Marie saw as the Kolu spasmed, she dodged its legs so she doesn't get stepped on, then headed under its belly. She formed a red digital pike and jumped up, stabbing the Kolu in the area she assumed to be its heart. She left the pike embedded in the Kolu, then created two more and did the same, stabbing many spears into its chest until she pierced its heart. The spears then disappeared in a flash of light.'

Marie: I think I got it! She quickly ran out from under the beast, watching Karma.

'The beast dropped to its belly, purple blood spilling from under it, filling the streets and falling into the storm drains. Karma jumped from the Kolu’s head and walked to Marie wiping his clothes and turned back to finally watch the Kolu’s eyes close.'

Karma: You did good Marie. I can’t believe you’re from my world. It’s… insane. 'He looked around and saw smoke coming up from behind the buildings and screaming. He sighed as Mirage came up next to him.'

Marie: I've never met another person from Dynast for two years. Whereabouts are you from? Who were your parents? She asked quickly, showing great interest.

Karma: Well… 'He gently sat on his bike. 'My dad was… The Primordial of Biology. Don’t know who my mother was… But before I left I’ve been getting weird visions of me being grown in my old home in a large tree. I’ve lived there all my life and only went out to… do my father’s deeds. He sighed looking down.

Marie: Was your mother a Primordial too...? I'm a Progeny, my mother was the Primordial of Data, and my father...the Primordial of Chaos… She looked uncomfortable mentioning him.

Karma: He noticed her uncomfort. Yeah. I’m a Progeny. But I use my mother’s powers more, which is Digital and Data… Do you think our mothers could be the same?... 'He chuckled nervously and just shook his head. 'Nah, that’s impossible.

Marie: Haha, I don't think so. My mother was the Empress of Konton's Empire, for a while. Then she got replaced, I don't know why. I mostly use my cyberpathy and malware manipulation, which I got from my mother, but my father was the one who trained me… So Primordial of Biology, huh? That's interesting, I never heard much of his incarnations. Was he nice? She asked slowly.

Karma: That must’ve been fun. He looked at her And no… He was uh, abusive. I actually don’t wanna talk about it right now. We should go. He revved Mirage and waited for her to get her bike ready so they could meet up with the team.

'She understood and asked no further questions. Her rampack turned into a bike, she mounted it and as soon as she was ready they drove off. The duo drove off away from the scene until police, who were able to, came to the scene, seeing the grotesque Kolu deceased. The duo arrived at the designated spot under a bridge, in a skatepark, where they said they’d meet.'

To Rokuro
'Rokuro and Tokime managed to avoid the paralyzing screeches by parking on the side the moment the roars echoed. Once the screeching had died down, they left the bike and went to a nearby cafe to get a quick snack and some drinks.'

Tokime: This place sure is fascinating, isn't it?

Rokuro: Mhm. So many similarities, yet so many differences. As expected of alternate universes...

Tokime: How do you know so much about that?

Rokuro: The thought came to me during my insanity, and I started thinking about it after regaining my intelligence. Then, the incident with... them... proved my theory. At least one other universe existed, and from current events and the existence of my friends I think it's safe to say there's many more than just two.

Tokime: Mhm... So... what should we do? 'As she says this, something breaks through the window of the cafe. A gas disperses as the occupants begin coughing badly.' G-Gas?! W-where did this come from?!

Rokuro: This gas... it's familiar... The gas obscures their figures, allowing him to equip his armor and draw his sword, swiping away the gas as Tokime summoned four daggers to both of her hands and holding one with her teeth. I remember now...

Tokime: It's from the demons back in our world. I can taste the demonic presence in it... it's gross... Her words were muffled by the knife before she held all of her knives in a spear shape.

Rokuro: Poor thing... He pats her gently as the cafe customers turn into a mindless horde of zombies that start stumbling towards them. But uh... they're turning. We should probably put them out of their misery.

Tokime: After you. She gestured forward at them as she summoned more knives and added them to her spear, creating a full-on spear which she spun in her hands before pointing the spear-blade at the zombie horde.

Rokuro: Yeah, yeah. 'Rokuro walks towards the zombies, spinning his sword briefly before charging at the hordes and slashing through them. His sword blade ignited as he slashed through them, cauterizing the wounds as he attacks to prevent the spread of the zombie virus through blood or something. Tokime channeled her fox-fire through her spear and fought in a similar manner, eviscerating the monsters with their weapons and dispersing of the horde before they could multiply. They spent a bunch of time taking care of the zombies and making sure that it didn't spread outside this cafe. Once they had dealt with the horde and made sure it didn't contaminate anyone else, they got on Rokuro's bike and rode off.'

With Roland
He was under the bridge with Jacken, he felt the scream, his body freezing up, as if the world around him was gone, he couldn't move, he was mentally panicking, being reminded of being trapped under rubble once.

Roland: *Imagine somewhere calm! Imagine somewhere safe! Imagine a frozen forest!* 'And it happened, he went into that monster mode of his, grinning, he turned to Jacken, almost animalistically approaching him, those eyes, if you could even call them that right now, were looking into Jacken's soul at this point. It was as if he was analyzing him, like he never met him, like predator sizing up its prey, he hissed, growling. Jacken could hear the loud footsteps of "Roland" walk off. To those facing the bridge, he approached a few who were his age, some who seemed to be minding their own business, he raised his arm, forming it into a blade cutting them down. There was an adult nearby, he seemed to be facilitating them, Roland approached him, smashing him into the ground, after that, he looked around, as if confirming an area was clear, going back into the darkness which was the bridge, hidden, four teens, and an adultm dead, the suit deformed, leaving him on the ground, eyes closed.'

To Yann
'Yann and Jonas both felt the scream of the monster while they were riding Angela, as son as they heard it, their body froze and, unable to control the bike, they felt in the middle of the road, Yann grabbed his head in pain and so did Jonas. As the screams died down, they were both still lying on the ground in utter pain, seemingly unable to do much.'

Jonas: W-What the hell was that!

Yann: I don't know!

the got on Angela once again and took off around town, in the hope of finding the origin of the screams.

Back at the bridge
'Jacken called two lightning strikes down at the bridge after the whole paralysis screech was dealt with. This was a code that everyone agreed to, and they came to the bridge meet-up point to discuss. When everyone arrived they began questioning what it was.'

Jacken: Anyone can explain what that weird...noise was, and the effect it caused?

Karma: It was... a creature from my world. Well... One of my worlds. It can combine the pitches of its screech to paralyze EVERYONE. And that’s exactly what it did, causing tons of chaos everywhere. Also He points to Marie who is a little away from them, seeming shy. This is Marie, everyone. She’s from my world too and she has similar powers to me.

Rokuro: Gotcha. Good to meet you, Marie. I'm Rokuro. He waved to her before pointing to Tokime, who was leaning beside him and waved to her. This is Tokime.

Marie: Okay. She said indifferently.

Jacken: So the creature created that noise? Did you see the news, guys? There's no pictures or anything, apparently that beast knocked out all the technology or something.

Marie: Actually, that was me.

Jacken: Oh- well there's some witnesses saying it was a two headed dog, the gods of my world used to own cerberuses, but that's not the same. That makes a monster from my world, and your world, coming here. How is this possible? I thought we were the only ones sent here?

Marie: You're all from Dynast?

Jacken: No? We all come from different worlds, there's more than two Earths apparently.

Roland woke up all of a sudden.

Roland: Frozen Forest- He looked around, feeling himself *I can move.* He noticed Marie, then looked at Karma Dude, there's a girl here...Does she know about- The way he paused and looked at Karma it was obvious he meant "Us guys".

Karma: Yeah... She does. Anyways, we should probably go. Gotta go to somewhere where we won't keep getting heat. Hopefully nothing from Vae appears once more. 'He sighs and mounts Mirage. 'Or do you guys want to stay? We need to find somewhere we can stay temporarily.

Roland: Why can't we go for another apartment? At this point running is getting annoying, also we can clear up that we're not terrorists maybe...

Jacken: I'm not staying in this dump.

Marie: Normally I leave after a blackout hack like that, too much heat...

Rokuro: It's better we leave this place before we attract too much attention. Besides... we should be able to find somewhere to stay along the way. Tokime, hearing this, held onto Rokuro's shoulder before shifting to fox form and finding her way into his backpack, leaving it slightly unzipped for ventilation purposes.

Karma: Cool, it's settled then. Let's go everyone. 'He revs up Mirage as he waits for everyone to get their stuff together, as well as their vehicles. Karma's helmet digitializes and finds a far city to hide away in named Evansville, 4 hours away, southeast. He digitally sends the information to everyone's motorcycle, giving them the way-point and everyone takes off from under the bridge and onto a wild highway with civilians going crazy due to the recent monster attack. '

About 4 hours later
'They managed to arrive at the town of Evansville, seeing that the town was calm and beautiful, almost hitting sunset. The group had all decided they were going to stay here and drink for the night because of the rough week they've had so far. They arrived to a bar named Black Crow Bar and all parked behind the near vacant bar. Roland went in first, pushing open the door and letting everyone in. They all looked around to make sure it was devoid of anyone that maybe suspicious. They all sat at the counter and saw a white man with a mohawk and red earring on his left ear. Roland was the first to get a word out. '

Roland: Hey, bartender. We need a drink. 'He walked over to the group all sitting next to each other. '

Bartender: He looked at them wearing a slight smirk onto his face How can I help you?

Yann: Uh, What do you have.

Bartender: A little of everything, First drink is free of course.

Jonas: Uh...Give me a whiskey

Bartender: What whiskey?

Jonas: I dunno a....whiskey.

Bartender: How about the young man here?

Yann: Uh, Water.

Bartender: Actually every first drink is free apart from non-alcoholized ones, which are not available, Rule of the house.

Yann: What?...Urg...Okay, give me a beer.

Bartender: Oh a rough boy I see He turned to Karma How about you?

Karma: Uhhh, lemme get uhhhh vodka please. 'He leaned on the counter, taking a look at his phone. He then looked at Yann and whispered so only his group could hear him. 'I think I know why is happening... I think maybe someone who controls Space-Time from my world did this... I don't know how or why they are sending things over here, but I have a feeling it's them.

Yann: Uh? How could that happ-

the bartender interrupted him 

Bartender: Oh! Second rule of this bar... He took a glass and started pouring a clear liquid into it ...No whispering, no secrets. he put the glass in front of the group 

Yann: Uh?

Karma: Urg... 'He eyed the bartender, mentally trying to get a workaround to his rule so that he wouldn't hear him. He ultimately gave up and sighed, hesitating. 'I-I think that someone from my world might be the cause of this whole thing... He looked down at his glass of vodka, feeling very reluctant of saying it out loud.

Bartender:Alright...He smiled ...Go on, drink, I will right there listening. he sat down on a stool on the other side of the counter and filled another glass with whiskey this time

Yann: Uh...What? Someone from your wo- he looked at the bartender that was filling the glass, still smirking ...Tsk...I got a bad feeling, We...We should go, screw those drinks guys.

Jonas: Let me drink my free whiskey at least eh. he grabbed the glass from the smiling Bartender's hand and finished the whiskey, his face turned sour, showing clear disgust.

Bartender: Any thoughts on it hm. he was yet again filling another big glass, this time with beer

Jonas: Urg, it tastes like shit, what the hell is that??

Bartender: Oh dear, I am sorry, I don't know how to respond! he looked at the bottle of the whiskey that he had served Jonas...Oh my, This whiskey is not the one for customers! Oh my!

Jonas: No problem man, don't worry, i'm alright, urg.

Bartender: here! he suddenly took a big bottle from under his counter and showed it to Jonas This here sir is a very expensive moonshine that I serve only to displeased clients for free, let me give you a shot!

Yann: Jonas, this guy doesn't seem trustworthy.

Jonas: That's okay Yann, just a mistake from a fellow counter worker, I will just accept his excuses haha, it's cool Jonas took a shot of the moonshine that the bartender gave him, as soon as he took the shot, he grinned as his face turned red from the alcohol Oh my goodness! That's much better: Wow!

Bartender: hm, I knew you would've liked it, Sorry again for this awful whiskey.

Jonas: Jeez man, that's alright! this moonshine made up for it!

Bartender:Really?

Jonas: Yea man! That tastes so good!

The bartender chuckled and took the shot glass to fill it with the moonshine again

Bartender: Another one maybe? This one is from the house for your kindness, most customers would've just sworn at me. he put the glass in front of Jonas

As Jonas's hand reached for the glass, Yann suddenly took it

Yann: Don't drink this Jonas.

Jonas: Uh? W-Why did you take that?

Yann: I'm not feeling this guy Jonas

Jonas: What are you talking about?, give me that glass and cut it.

Bartender: I knew that I looked like shit but is it that bad haha.

Yann: Shut up, first your rules and now this.

Jonas: It's nothing Yann, Just let me drink my damn booze.

Bartender: Yes, It is nothing Yann.

Yann: Names are for friends, so don't call me by my name Barman.

Bartender: Oh Wow, Your friend is really hostile Jonas, Is he always like this, controlling what you do, Is he your father or something? pfff haha.

Jonas: Urg, No...it's.... it's just that...he took the cup from Yann's hand and drank it immediately 

Yann: Jonas!!!

Jonas: I'm your boss, not the opposite, don't tell me what to do, You've been doing just that lately! It's like I'm not even your friend anymore, and just a drag!

Bartender: Oh, So is that your problem, is it all about who is the boss...eh, I wouldn't let my employee behave like that if I was you Jonas, treating them with respect, as if they were good friends and getting THAT in return, honestly, that seems...irritating.

Jonas: Yea Yann, Ever since you and your friends came with your crazy world thing or, uuuuh, or whatever, you've been treating me like I was.like I was a goddamn child Jonas's body was slowly leaning on the side as he was talking, a clear indication of his drunken state.

Yann: W-What, Jonas, calm down!

Bartender: He grinned Oh, Yes, this world thing have surely been causing a lot of hassle in your life.

Jonas: Yes! I never wanted any of this shit!

Yann: He turned to the Bartender What did you put in his drink!

Bartender: Third Rule, no violence inside these walls.

Jacken: If you're done arguing, I'll take just a glass of juice. Anyway, after this we should leave. We don't know when the next...thing will pop up. They could be following us through cities, though. He heard Roland chuckling, beer in hand.

Roland: Hate to break it to you man, but it's already coming... 'He chuckles almost depressingly. Drinking more.'

Rokuro: I'll have an Old-Fashioned and a Cuba Libre. Rokuro sat down at the bar as Tokime hopped out of his bag and shifted to Human form, sitting next to him. She'll have a Mojito.

Tokime: What he said. She leaned close to Rokuro and whispered. What's that?

Rokuro: A refreshing lime and mint drink with rum in it. Do you know what Rum is?

Tokime: Kind of... my co-workers would invite me out to drink after work a couple of times, but I always ordered a beer...

Rokuro: You'll like the Mojito better.

The bartender turned abruptly to face Rokuro and Tokime, a surprised look on his face, he ignored Yann completely and approached the shapeshifting fox spirit

Bartender: Oh! What was that!? he took 2 steps back and looked at the team, a grin on his face Jonas! Tell me why you are fed up with Yann and his friends again?

Jonas: Jonas suddenly stood up angrily They dragged me in their problems! They are wanted by the whole nation and they dragged me in their bullshit!

The Bartender's face enlightened and the glass that was in his hand felt down

The Bartender: Hmhmhm, So I was right to think that....You are the "Bio terrorists"..hahahaha...Hahahaha...Ideal!!! 'He grabbed a bottle of mojito from the counter in one hand and a bottle of an orange cocktail in the other, he filled two glass that he sent respectively towards Tokime and then Jacken. He stepped back in joy and opened a drawer, taking out a few leaves of mind and half a lime. He then placed a glass in front of Rokuro, crushing the lime in his hand for the juice to come out and then putting a few leaves in. He then finalized the drink by mixing rhum with it. 'Here it is! 3 drinks! hahaha.

Yann: grrrr....You...

The Bartender: I feel like...he took a thin whiskey glass in his hand and filled it with water ...We are going to be great friends my fellow otherwordly beings.

Rokuro: "Fellow otherworldly beings...?" So... you too? Rokuro took a sip of his old-fashioned as Tokime took a sip of the Mojito.

Tokime: This is good...

Rokuro: Told ya.

The Bartender: Yes. Me too, I knew that fate would make us meet eventually...

Yann: What is the meaning of this!

The Bartenter: Oh...Sorry for your friend by the way, I wanted to see if there was anything odd about him Jonas was trying to walk towards the exit, mad at The team, Yann turned to call him

Yann: Jonas! Where are you going! Jonas completely ignored him and walked out of the bar, completely drunk

Yann: You!!! He suddenly jumped off his seat and grabbed Crow I don't care who you are! You did that on purpose!

The Bartender smiled 

The Bartender: Temper, Temper, Is it really a good choice to hit me here...uh, whats your name again...oh yea, Yann.

Yann: Go to hell! ' The Bartender shrugged Yann's hand off, and during a second, his eyes opened wide and he stepped back as if he had received an electric shock. He looked at the team, his grin having enlarged.'

The Bartender: Karma, Jacken, Roland, Rokuro and....He looked at Yann ...A son of Grafal. What an interesting team..

Yann's eyes widened as he heard all those names being said, as if The Bartender already knew all of them, How he did that was unknown to the team at that time, but this Bartender knew all of their names.

Karma: How the- 'He stood up and backed up, his legs wobbling slightly. '*What's in this drink?* H-How do you know our names... His arm began to digitalize.

The Bartender: I know my stuff haha...He looked at karma's arm digitalizing ...Don't fight in my bar, Rule number 3 remember Karma? You all had you drinks? Now we will all sit down, and talk. he sat down on the behind the counter and Yann was the first to obey, slowly sitting on the stool he was on, eyes full of what could be fear, He was silently looking at the others, clearly in distress.

Tokime: This is... very concerning... 'Tokime remained in her seat, sipping at her drink rather cautiously now. Rokuro poured a little of his Aurum into his drinks, mixed it in, and then took a sip.'

Rokuro: So... where are you from?

The Bartender: Rule number 4, ever answers comes with a question, I come from the same world as Yann...How about you hmmmm...He turned to Yann whose eyes had opened wide at this surprising revelation What was the trigger word again...oh yea...he turned back to Rokuro  Isurugi Rokuro.... He smirked

'Rokuro sets his drink down, gets up from his seat, and goes to the corner to commit seppuku with his sword. He literally cuts himself in half before the body dissipates into ash and he walks into the bar again like nothing happened, finishing off his drinks then taking a quick swig of his Aurum.'

Bartender: The Bartender's smirk turned into a frown Interesting...What a fun group. So...Like I was saying, I come from the same world as Yann here, and much like all of you, I was transported here against my will....He takes a hard boiled egg from a jar from under the counter to eat it ...Now that I've finally met you...I hoped that we could...collaborate.

Jacken: He stands up, knocking his untouched drink over So you're one of us, you saw the news, right? What, what's going on out there, why are people being sent to this world?! Do you know anything? Anything at all?

The Bartender slid his hand through his mohawk and smiled again 

Bartender: Well, I've made my research myself and have heard rumors of a place where not only people come out from other worlds, but complete structures....This has been happening recently but of course the government tried to contain the word....but no word is safe from me hmhmhm, As soon as you walk into the Black Crow Bar...You are under the grasp of Crow, under my grasp....I was preparing myself to go to this place you see, My dream is to one day go back to my world.

Yann: Why would you even go back there!?

Bartender: The Heart has it's reasons that the mind ignores. But enough about me...I would usually request payment for my information but...since we are in the same boat you and I...

Jacken: Structures? It seems not just the people or monsters are being sent over...what is happening...

Karma: 'He walks around the bar slowly, thinking while taking occasional sips of his vodka, not even wincing. He chimes in. 'So we have people and structures being sent over from each of our worlds which means we're all merging into this world slowly, but why? And what's going to happen to our worlds that we come from, will it all transfer or is everything just copying over onto this world... So much to think about.

Crow: Well, there's only one way to learn about this Nexus Point
