The Multiverse

[Joa-Boo]

The crew rushed along the make shift tunnel Tim was cutting out. Underground, everyone was able to move comfortably and safely even with the danger of cutting into a pit of lava. Tim lead the group around the nether caves until finally reaching an opening with what looked to be a house built into the side of a wall. Everything was suspended over a lake of lava making it, as Tim said, impossible to enter without knowing how.

“We have to build a bridge to that lower deck.” Tim pointed out a lower ledge of wood that extended out of the bottom of the house. That seemed simple enough except for the looming threat of Chaos demons surrounding the caves and ledges around the suspended house.

“You are just going to up and build a bridge to that? How is it even still hanging there?” One of the summoners asked. This Tim broke all their understanding of physics. Tim nodded and then without warning feverously began laying down planks of wood.

“I’ll need you guys to cover me. We can’t afford to get hit while I’m building. If I get knocked into the lava this could be the end for all of us!” Tim placed a few feet of bridge before recommending everyone’s assistance. He was right to because just after asking a set of stray arrows shot across the gap. Some undead skeletons were shooting from a ledge not too far off from you guys. Not too far from there were units of chaos archers.

“Summoning Ashe!” A glacial spike of ice crashed into the cave and out shattered the Ice archer with her bow firing a wave of arrows.

“I’ll use Tarric. We could use his shield.” A whirl of crystals swept onto the bridge and a massive shield and hammer swooped down from them. The knight behind the armor smiled. “Stand over Tim. Do not let an arrow strike him.”

“Baldur, we could use your help!”

Baldur looked around at the primitive archers. Many times in the fight against the goblins had Baldur covered engineers as they built. "No problem," He said with a smirk as he grabbed the handles from his waist forming two pistols as they rose. He started shooting one pistol at undead archers and the other at the chaos archers. Iron tipped arrows were nothing to his armor meant to withstand laser blasts. He put himself in front of Tim as the arrows pinged off his armor not even scratching it.

“No...Lets just do this.” Meleri said as she took her disguise and carefully hid herself in the clothes so that her foreign appearance disappeared.

She walked with the group silently. The tension in the air was heavy as everyone embarked towards the enemy camp. She walked with Gray Fox. It was almost time for them to split up soon.

“You are not dead. and yet yes you are. You have died many times yes?” The white form took a deep sigh. “more like fail actually. Yes. Failed to do what you were suppose to. In that world.”

The form moved back and forth around what looks like somewhat of a living area. You noticed you were on something of a bed.

Neo pushed open the doors and walked into the lobby. Everything seemed to be going normally as they walked towards the elevator. His nerves were on end, all they had to do was get to the top of the building and they would be fine, it appeared that the machines didn't know their location yet, or they were walking into a trap. The group made it to elevator and got in no problem. Dr. VonKrutz was confused as they stepped into the tiny box. It befuddled him when it started lifting into the air.

They made it 4 flights up the 30 story skyscrapper when suddenly the elevator stopped. A alarm sounds and the lights flashed. The sound was unlike anything VonKrutz had ever heard. The Terminator stared off into the distance, "The machines know we are here, they have the entire police force and swat team converging on our position. They are already coming up the stairs already. IT was a trap"

Neo and the Terminator drew their pistols waiting for the doors to open. The Doctor looked frantic, "These might not be their real bodies, but they will die just the same. We can't just shoot innocent"

The Terminator looked at the Doctor, "They won't feel the same about us."

Neo looked at the ground shame on his face, "He is right Doctor, I don't like having to, but we must for the greater good"

“Doctor, if you had a more brilliant idea I would be all for it. I favor the lives of the innocent over the lives of the guilty but over all of them I favor my own life. Besides if we die here and now because we don’t kill some attackers then we sacrifice the lives of everyone in this dimension.” Dr. VonKrutz covered his ears of the strange sound before collecting himself to speak. He was thinking hard of his options. There were not many. He would have to stick closer to the bruisers with big weapons around him. He had a few EMP grenades on him for when measures were drastic. “This may be new to you all but I have another spell up my sleeve that may give us that edge.” Dr. VonKrutz had only cast the spell a handful of times but he regarded it as one of his best augments. Best in potion form by far but he unfortunately did not have any Chocobo feathers present. He focused inward and then cast Hastega! “That should do the trick.” Everyone gained a heightened sense of things as their bodies began to increase in speed until their actions occurred twice as fast. “Let’s get to the ship!”

"So your saying that they're a bunch of new people who need their a** kicked right? How do we kill one of those giant beast without it's brain being destroyed. If we are going up against a horde, I think we need more than a few super soldiers to stop it. They been attacking temples as well, so something in the temples they need. O wait there is this thing about some creature called Ragnarok, that a monster from a disc said." Vallaris said before she explained the Monol's story.

Everyone in the room was silent. This was so much information and not all of them knew how to take it. With everything they knew combined it felt a lot like the Crystal Scar of Spira and Pandora were doomed. However, in the spirit of doom, many of the people in this room have prevailed over the darkness that stood before them. Each of them on their own and in their own way made peace with the task at hand and looked up with a new breathe of purpose.

“We all know what must be done. We should split up to protect the standing temples, find more of these stones, and get ourselves a Kiaju brain.” Lightning spoke direction into the room. Everyone rallied around her words.

“We will take the airship to go gather up a brain and see what they are planning.” Zidane joined the pilots as they readied to embark.

“Lulu come with me and my party to protect the rest of the temples. I doubt they will be able to get to Bevel so we can stick to the outskirts.

“I can train these monsters and keep looking for new discs.” Holly suggested.

“Vallaris what will you do?” Cid asked.

“No...Lets just do this.” Meleri said as she took her disguise and carefully hid herself in the clothes so that her foreign appearance disappeared.

She walked with the group silently. The tension in the air was heavy as everyone embarked towards the enemy camp. She walked with Gray Fox. It was almost time for them to split up soon.

“You don’t get it do you Meleri. I’m not showing myself to play intelligence with these common fools. That city is damned and you know it. I’m here because you helped me and I promised to get you out.” Gray Fox put a hand on your shoulder to hold you back from the group. His hold was firm but gentle. It startled you. “That dragon born had no idea the true power he was holding but it is clear to me now that I have used it. This is a key! The Elder Scroll is a key into a vast network of folding dimensions. You’re here because something is going wrong and I think this Elder Scroll has something to do with it.” Gray Fox spoke directly. His words were no longer hidden or soft. “Come with me Meleri. We could be like gods and you can be my goddess!

Gray Fox hushed his words as the line of diplomats reached the offensive line of the Dong Zhuo forces. They all held up white flags to show they come unarmed and bare no threat. Word traveled through the enemy line quickly and the diplomats were given an audience with Dong Zhuo. The diplomats moved in a shaky manner through the vast army at hand. All of their foes were armored with weapon at hand. They could be slaughtered in an instant if given the word. Finally they were brought to a tent with LuBu and Dong Zhuo in it. Zhang Liao sat next to Dong Zhuo in his makeshift throne.

You entered the tent with the diplomats to guarantee their safety. Your spies had already been distributed before entering enemy lines. This would be the time to gather all the info you can.

“So this is the squabble from the fortress up ahead.” Dong Zhuo laughed and everyone joined in.

“We are representatives from the Empire your grace. We bring peaceful news from our Emperor. He has no reason to fight with you. He seeks to appease your feud with the Empire by any way necessary as a means to avoid any violence between the two.” A representative spoke proudly of his empire. Dong Zhuo chuckled the whole way through his speech.

“I am the soul Emperor of this land. How it is your master claims to be the same.”

“My Emperor is a much studied man. He has noticed that things have changed and are not the way they seem. He wants to express to you that your Empire and his have merged across time and space. This is of no fault to either Empire. He urges you to seek for a more diplomatic solution rather than a violent one.

“That may be so but I claim my empire because I took it. If I am to remain emperor I will have to keep taking. That is the way of the mighty Dong Zhuo.”

One of the diplomats looked to you for help. They needed more time and Dong Zhuo looked sold on fighting.

“You are not dead. and yet yes you are. You have died many times yes?” The white form took a deep sigh. “more like fail actually. Yes. Failed to do what you were suppose to. In that world.”

The form moved back and forth around what looks like somewhat of a living area. You noticed you were on something of a bed.

"Failed? What do you mean failed? I was shot in the head. That sounds a lot more like dead to me. What are you talking about failed? IS there some mission I am supposed to complete? If you didn't notice NONE of what was just happening made any sense."

With your defense Tim was able to build the bridge to his base without delay. Once at his house everyone piled in. The sounds of arrows, magic, and other projectiles could still be heard beating against the house but Tim’s place would hold up. Tim ran through the layers of chests he had placed along the walls until finally he came to the right one. Tim was ecstatic as he removed the ring from the chest. It glowed overwhelmingly in his hands. Tim quickly looked around as everyone marveled with him. He then jumped up, placed a block below him and then hit a switch above his head. The switch cause an inner TNT explosion to take out the floor of his house. Everyone dropped to the fire pits below except Baldur. You were too fast to scum to such trickery and grabbed ahold of the block Tim was standing on. Tim punched your hand all he could but you were far too strong to be displaced by him.

“So you see brother. Tim’s trust has been placed in the right direction.” The awful hiss of your brother Loki fades into place. This Loki looked different than all the others. This Loki was shot like Tim and resembled a Lego (don’t want to describe a Lego person just because Baldur doesn’t know what that is). He is willing to trade life for the chance to be like a god again. The age of the Gods are over. Odin and his time are gone. Thor will not come to his sense and join us but you are wiser brother. Join us and ascend into the frail new cosmos not even the World Tree knows anything about.”

“Loki, how dare you make our brother decide like this?” Loki said as he lifted you from dangling on the edge. “Tim use the ring. We can discuss further once we are in tomorrow!” Time smiled at the Inhuman Loki ordered him to use the ring. Tim put on the ring and all of them vanished from the Nether.

When everything came back into focus you found yourself floating amongst a rift between galaxies with many vast spiraling black holes gathering in all directions. The three Loki’s and Tim stood on a small makeshift island of blocks with a small log cabin beside it. Above everyone was a swirling constant thunderstorm. It was dark and terrifying and beautiful and powerful. It was everything that never should have been.

“Our new thrones Baldur!” Loki from Avengers smiled.

“You are the 5th to enter the multiverse!” Lego Loki held his hangs out in praise.

Vallaris looked at the airship and she began to turn green and a sense of nausea came over here. She put her hand up to her mouth and gagging noises were coming out.

“I am not getting on that thing. I don’t do so well in transportation. so that leaves with either defending the temples or recovering more discs. I think I will go with you Holly and give you some protection.” Vallaris exclaimed.  

[Sauruswarrior Salfos]

“Well your time here is over. Time for you to go out again. I am sure we will meet again. Desmond.”

You tried to say something and then blinding white flash blinded you. As your senses came too, you are sitting in a similar blue room and you are looking at 3 doors. One was a plain door with a tv and clothes on top of it. The second door was a steel door similar to a ship. and the third was a door covered in scales and fur and looked really feral. There was nothing else around you. Which will you choose?  

[Sauruswarrior Salfos]

Things didn’t look too well for Meleri and her gang. She was deciding how to go about this and under her cloak she had her armor shift.

“Mighty Lord Zhou, if you were to take with all of this bloodshed you would miss out on the prime resources and magnificent offerings of Tamriel. Miss all of its beauty. Just like me.” She said and removed her diplomatic cloak. Her outfit was that of a tight fit evening gown. It colors were fluorescence and shifted from all sorts of different colors. She spread pollen around to mystify as she did a curtsy. The pollen was designed to heighten affection and cloud minds.

“You would miss the great warriors like the dragonborn, who are mighty in the land and the arena. You could see the great castles and come to some agreeance with the Emperor. You would need retainers for this land that can help you become mighty.” Meleri exclaimed with a light dance.

“Would you not consider experiencing the new world?”  

[Joa-Boo]

“That would be so exciting Vallaris. You could work on training Pyre and Brande. If we come close to a disc I will know about it. Hopefully it won’t take long before we have an army of these critters to help fight back with.” Holly smiled brightly and tugged at your arm. Both your little monsters jumped up with excitement and bounced around the room. Suezo frowned and chased the baby monsters around the room. He scooped them up with his tongue and then teleported to the ranch house barn.

“Good luck Vallaris. We will miss your magic but hopefully you will be able to locate many more of those discs. We will need many more monsters if we are going to win this fight.” Zed waved before the airship flew off.

“Now you little monsters, you will need to learn some discipline. Some day you guys will have to stand against the forces of evil and it will take great resolve.” Suezo looked into the air, imagining himself as a great warrior ready to destroy those who opposed him. His dream was crushed the instance Brande bit Suezo in the tail. Suezo jumped up and down, squealing in pain.

“Oh Suezo. You know just how to whip baby monsters into shape.” Holly giggled as she entered the barn with you close behind her.

“Alright, haha, very funny. This one is up to you Vallaris. Pyre is already showing strengths in speed, skill, and magic. Would you like to work on improving one of these aspects or train on learning a new ability? Brande hasn’t done any training yet but he looks very strong for a baby. He is strong, fast, and has a lot of health. I recommend we build up his defense and skill some more.”

“Well Suezo I’ll have both of my monsters work on skill while we are gone. If you get a chance you should try learning another ability too.” Suezo blushed. “Vallaris you may even be able to bring Pyre with us. You could work on your bonding. Anything that happens should also improve his stats.” Holly smiled again and then played catch for a bit with her golem while waiting for you to decide.

 

[Joa-Boo]

“I’m not done with you! You answer me. What is all of this? WHAT IS GOING ON?” Desmond was so frustrated. He stomped on the ground with each word. In his blind rage is quickly dashed through the scales covered door. With his assault rifle raised and titan spawner ready, he blitz to the nearest cover through the door, and readied himself for any conflict. He watched and waited and the beautiful feral scenery melted into place. A few strange monsters scattered away from the area. Maybe he spooked them he thought. Maybe, or just maybe it was something bigger.  

[Joa-Boo]

“Don’t do it Meleri, don’t do it. These are not men worth talking too. As a thief the only man you can trust is a dead one. Even then you can’t trust a dead thief.” Gray Fox spoke from the shadows of your hood. “One last chance. Come with me.”

You had heard enough. You step out onto the floor between everyone and undue your cloak. All hands reached for their weapons. Confusion hit the crowd. Even Dong Zhuo’s face crumbled up uncomfortably.

“Why demon is this, a dancing plant?” Lu Bu laughed until the pollen hit him. Like everyone else, they were mesmerized. Your words were a formality. No one heard them. However, they all stared with blank eyes as if hypnotized.

“Oh you fools!” A harsh voice jumped from the outside of the tent with a flame held in her foot. The fighter smacked the ground and a burst of flames smoked out the room. The remaining pollen burnt out of the air and moments latter everyone regained consciousness.

“What game are you trying to play pixie?” The female voice asked. Her eyes were dark and fierce. She hungered for power and you were standing in her way of it. Like a lioness she positioned herself for the kill.

“Meleri we have gathered enough information. Let’s get out of here!” One of the spies broke from his hidden location along the hills.
