The Rat recoiled from the smoke, chittering angrily as it confused its senses. It stood on two legs, scenting the air to find its quarry. Right- no, left! It rounded on Shinigami, too late. Her whip slammed into its side, throwing the demon across the room and crashing into the wall. It burst...

"Easier to just kill them outright and leave the bodies as a warning," Theo mused. She rubbed her chin in thought, leaning to peer into the cave. "If the Gothra took them, they want them alive." She stepped forward, pressing past Lionel into the cave, lowering the hilt of her blade slightly to...

The Demon Rat spun, slamming its tail into Akiko's side and sending her sprawling across the room. "Hoooh? Is this all you can muster?" Abe no Hideyoshi lamented. "Surely you won't leave me so unsatisfied, to be defeated by only the first and weakest of my servants?" The Rat stalked around...

The South Eedin spaceport was certainly a spectacle. It certainly couldn’t compare with the planet-wide sprawl of the VOC - at least, what little could be seen from the Venutian surface - but even Dr. Haliday could tell how rare it was for a station like this one to so immaculately replicate a...

Lynne darted between the trees, dropping her powered form as soon as Apex was out of sight. The brief skirmish had gotten her turned around a little, but she still had a vague idea of which direction the exit should be in, assuming it was opposite the wall she'd been dumped in from. It wasn't...

The steady drone of rotating fans filled the darkness of the room, the only dim illumination coming from the wall of monitors. A man reclined in a cushioned ergonomic swivel chair, folded hands resting on his knee as he watched the screens. “Sir, a large-scale emergence event is being reported...

Lynne ducked back, Apex's claw sailing over her. She weaved to one side and then the other, avoiding further kicks from the Prehistoric Predator before blasting the earth at Apex's feet, obscuring his vision with a cloud of dirt and distancing herself from Apex, retreating into the foliage...

Mina slunk down the alley behind the shops, her arms sore and throbbing. She could hear people shouting out on the road, the honking of cars and chaos of people being attacked by all kinds of formerly-inanimate nonsense. Mina stuck close to the walls when she could; she could still see those...

Mina Han stood on the side of the road, waiting for the light to change. She hadn’t spotted any stains on her uniform, but the soles of her shoes were covered in this gross film from the cistern that she did NOT want to have to clean off. She sighed, tugging at the hem of her jacket. What even...

A time traveler? Oh. Lynne stepped to the side as the twin boomerangs whizzed past her, wind tugging at her hair in their wake. 'I see."Her calm tone chilled the air around her. Her hair shimmered with moonlight as she removed her glasses, tucking them carefully into her pocket. "This isn't...

The Oblivion Needle. A great spire dominating the landscape, ascending so high it seems to pierce through the sky itself. Said to be a spear cast down by the divine at the separation of heaven and earth, a lynchpin holding reality in place. The stage for the last, true battle. The mad emperor...

Aaah, so that's how it was. Mergo rocked back on her heels as she chewed the announcement. Five team death matches running concurrently to determine their final seeds. As for the "one last catch"... Well, that one felt obvious enough. Fifty wasn't a good number for traditional tournament...

Lynne stumbled to keep her balance as the floor slid out from under her, before finding herself in freefall. Greenery rushed toward her as she tumbled head over rear into a large vivarium, lit by an artificial sun in the ceiling above. Her descent slowed at the last second until she hung in the...

Industrial concrete gave way to cold earth as they crossed the tree line, Ephie whistling a bouncy tune as she led the way. The trees weren't nearly as dense as one would expect from the moniker of a "forest", the undergrowth kept thin from a mixture of land management and the early spring frost...

Lynne inhaled slowly as Mini-Macoman vanished, leaving her alone with Klaus and Akiko. "Okay!" she announced to herself, striking her fist into the palm of her opposite hand. He had trusted her to handle things, and that's just what she'd do! Lynne looked down at her charges. She... probably...

A way out of here? They were falling back? Wait, no. No. A way out of this situation. Make a way out of this situation. By “here”, Henry meant “the situation we’re in”. Out of “trouble”. Out of “danger”. Okay. Lynne’s hair lit up with soft silver light, nearly invisible against the dust and...

The sudden gale almost lifted Lynne straight off the ground and she was back on her feet, arms floundering for a sense of balance in the storm. She raised a hand to shield herself from the debris whipping across the yard, looking around to orient her position with the others before glancing up...

"...Besties?" Lynne repeated quietly, ends of her hair beginning to turn pink. It took a moment for her to register the offered hand, and in a panic she lunged for Klaus'es other arm as he started to disappear through the wall. A moment too late - she smacked face-first into the side of the...

Lynne fussed with the hem of her shirt, eyes falling downward. "It just seemed like a waste of effort to sneak around if they're watching us, is all," she mumbled.

lynne considered the flashing lights on the security cameras. "If they've been watching us this whole time, is there any point being quiet? They're probably waiting for us now, right?"
