Characters: All the Heroes of Light and their Moogles.
Where: Order's Sanctuary, The Interdimensional Rift and their Homeworlds.
When: August 03rd - August 30th

Summary: Following the battle against Palitutu, all the Heroes of Light were transported into the Interdimensional Rift. They were told by Palitutu they would have to find her to prove they can break the cycle-- But before they could reach their destination, a malevolent entity from the Rift stripped them from their immortality...

And now, they woke up in a decaying and dying world, most specifically in a place called Order's Sanctuary. From there they are ready to jump... Into their homeworlds! Feel free to use this post for the Mingle at Order's Sanctuary and should your homeworld be the stage for the Heroes of Lights' next adventures, feel free to make a thread for it and as many sub-thread as necessary! Please refer to the OOC Post for questions and plotting.

Warning: Whatever you come up with.

[There is indeed one pony who has taken notice that Ponyville is suddenly more crowded than usual. She's not sure what's happening yet. It wasn't a festival and there had been no big announcements or anything.

Oh well, it wasn't like Fluttershy wouldn't just stay at home if she needed to and felt overwhelmed.]

Wow! I know Ponyville is a nice place to live, but I didn't expect the population to go up so fast. I hope we don't get as big or important as Canterlot, even with Twilight here...

[The whole setup of Balamb Garden reminds her a lot of Beacon Academy, so Pyrrha's feeling rather nostalgic. She knows there's work to be done here, though, so she doesn't linger long. The SeeD cadet exam seems like the most important thing happening, and she recognizes Squall's name from their encounter in the hospital, so she selects him as her partner. He can find her waiting outside the Garden's gates, stretching and limbering up as she gets ready for the mission.]

[Levy doesn't seem terribly concerned about her sudden transformation into a unicorn pony. Her magic still works, after all, and there's a library to explore! As soon as she figures out how to walk on four legs, she's off like a shot, heading straight there to see what kind of knowledge she can find.]

[ Just as Rose was going after defending people, Mikleo himself was as well. The Heroes of Light that were left to fend for themselves in the continent of Glenwood weren't exactly the best idea for many. He was definitely biting more than he could chew but the exhaustion and tiring acts were nothing compared to the journey that he had gone through with all of these people

He had collected himself and ensured himself that Sorey and the others that he had seen were not of his time. There was information that he probably couldn't tell them. Of course, he didn't know all theories of paradoxes and such but he wouldn't lie to them if they wanted the truth. He was different. Everyone could feel that. There was something different about him, older, wiser and even if he physically didn't look different, he was more mature.

Icicles sent another swarm of hellions falling over as Mikleo rushed to Rose's side, back to back. ]

Don't take this all on your own Rose. Let's do this together.

[ He replied, giving her a brief look before moving out again. He quietly told the people that he ran into to move along as well and run if they can. They were all warriors and fighters but they were no match for the type of things that Mikleo and the others were fighting. ]

[ It might be a mistake for him to be as honest as he is but there's no way Mikleo can lie to someone that he spent his life with. Especially, when that familiar face has been absent for a few centuries on top of the time he spent at Crystallis. As bizarre as it all seems, Mikleo doesn't falter in his tone as he explains the situation to Sorey. Of all the people he had known, he trusted that Sorey would take his words seriously.

Mikleo wasn't the type to tell lies after all and sometimes he's even more brutally honest than Sorey was. Yes, they did succeed at the cost of the Shepherd. Though, he still believed that one day Sorey would be able to wake up from that slumber and traverse the future world with him but that wouldn't be for a long time.

That's right, they have to keep going forward where they are right now. The future will come when it comes. There's no time for them to sit idly while Heldalf was still on the loose, and the Malevolence is getting stronger. The longer they stood here, the more anxious Mikleo becomes, feeling the air being poisoned by the negative energy. ]

I know that we must stop Heldalf, but there are more pressing matters at hand that include Heldalf. We can't be certain that he won't try anything with the influx of people who are unaware of the malevolence.

[ He nods his head a moment with a long pause before adding. ]

Right, let's not waste anymore time. I can fill you in on everything else while we move around.

[ Silently though, he was thanking Sorey for believing him and agreeing with what he has to say, even if he knows that it is inevitable. ]

...Wh-What....?

[ There's a highly confused boy staring at everything that is around him suddenly mesmerized with surrounding areas. The unfamiliar objects that sped by, surprised him but immediately wondered how they could do that and what made it so they could move so fast? Traveling would be so much easier that way!

Without even noticing he's already inspecting the buildings that stood so high in the sky. He's never seen such things with so many windows before. Seriously though, he doesn't know what's happening but he's too mesmerized by it all to really say anything. Even these strange alleys were a bit concerning to him.

He'll just keep going though. ]

...

[ There is so much technology. He doesn't know what to do right now. ]

[ There isn't much Levy could do since the Library is slagged. BUT.

There is a huge crystal tree and Pinkie is bouncing by, getting things ready when she notices Levy there. ]

GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASP! NEWCOMER! Hi I'm Pinkie Pie, are you one of Twilight's new friends from beyond space and time that has come to have a vacation while chasing down an Evil Potato?

GAAAAAAASP.

Have a cupcake!

You could say that.

[She laughs a bit, but nods once more.] The melody doesn't change from the first verse and chorus, so it should be easy to learn.

[So long as she wasn't tone-deaf like a few of her soldiers were... fun times.]

[Brushing himself down, dried mud coming away from the fabric of his combat pants as he does do, noticeably dusting the pale surroundings they've found themselves in. It's probably a good idea that he doesn't have access to a mirror as his hair is quite literally in the worst state it's ever been in from where he'd been on the floor in the mud a lot from the aftermath of Supernova. Sephiroth then stands back up and tries to collect some of his posture back; he aches but he has to make it pass, they aren't done yet.

He's still not seen Terra around...what does that mean?]

We didn't get much time to process much of anything, let alone ask much in the way of questions...[A marked pause.]...was...everyone there, do you think?

[Spencer doesn't really -see- Saki(?) first time around as he was thinking about something else but afterwards he waves extra to apologize for not seeing her first time around. She's a moogle he doesn't know all that well, but any moogle still with their hero at this point is a gold star in their favor as far as he's concerned.]

[In all honesty, it would be way too strange if Mikleo started lying to him. They'd always told each other the truth and Sorey was used to that. There had never been any reason for them to hold back as they were growing up and if anything, they were often the ones left in the dark by others. It was them who had to figure things out from the beginning when they couldn't simply have all the answers.

So he wants Mikleo to be honest with him now and Sorey will try not to ask any questions that would force the seraphim to lie. That might not be a perfect situation but it's just how things are at the moment. Maybe one day Mikleo will be able to tell him everything. Though the events of his future are something Sorey will have gone through for himself so he won't be entirely dependent on Mikleo's words.

And since Mikleo wasn't the sort to tell lies - especially not to him, that's exactly the reason why Sorey believes him. This isn't exactly the time to be making up stories if they weren't true. The situation could truly get out of hand if he didn't take it seriously. His destiny will have to be put on hold for a little while longer.]

We also can't let him escape to this other world so that he can attempt to corrupt it with malevolence. Do you think you can point out others who came from Crystallis while we search for the rifts?

[Sorey can practically sense the gratitude rolling off his friend and he moves forward to put a comforting but reassuring hand on Mikleo's shoulder. He gives the seraphim a smile, not a carefree one but a genuine one just the same.]

And hey, if there's anytime you think you shouldn't talk about something - just do what Lailah does!

[Meaning he should change the subject to one that's completely off-topic from what they're discussing. Make it so glaringly strange that Sorey knows they shouldn't continue to question it.]

[Chiaki's world is a near future dystopia, with ruined buildings, roving mobs, and horrible bear-shaped attack robots everywhere. A world ruled by one thing alone: despair. A world where, until very recently, Junko Enoshima was worshiped as a nearly godlike figure by cults of people who wished nothing more than to drive themselves, everything, and everyone around them into utter ruin. A world that takes hope and twists it until it breaks, leaving only emptiness behind.

Aside from the dismal and violent surroundings, the first thing the Heroes that enter the portal with Chiaki will notice is that she is conspicuously missing. That is, until the Ancient computer she insisted upon bringing with her begins beeping and flashing in the hands of one Jack Harkness. As the screen flares to life, there's Chiaki on the screen, looking more serious than anyone has ever seen her. This is the first time she's seen her world outside of the Neo World simulation, after all.]

Everyone... this is my world. It's a dangerous place, so be careful.

[Thankfully they've managed to arrive in an alleyway out of sight of the main action, but it's clear that they've got their work cut out for them if they're going to make it through alive.]

There's got to be something here we have to do to open the next portal. Let's look a-

[She's cut off by a loud scream just around the corner.]

Over there! We have to hurry!

It's Ophelia that gets a frantic Spencer zipping right up to her, narrowly missing Vincent's head as the small nerd-mog with the large pom flung himself into clinging to her.

"I'm so glad you're OK, Kupo."

They've been here for a while already, so much so that Sephiroth is back on his feet and on a kind-of patrol around the area. Taking stock of their surroundings, taking great care not to stray too close to what he thought was the perimeter after which those manikins that roamed around outside would take advantage and rush for them; head-counting similarly to Vincent. Yet at the same time trying not to put too much weight in the fact he'd not seen Terra since the battle had started...

"Vincent..." An acknowledgment and a greeting in one word preceded Sephiroth has he strode over to the other man. That pristine uniform was mudded, bloodied and torn in places, a notable crack across one of his signature silver pauldrons. Not even Sephiroth's hair had managed to avoid any of it, the mud long-since dried was starting to flake away and reveal a matted-dull color which was also spattered in blood in places.

"...what do you make of things?" He referred to their brief stint in the void, being the most logical place to start as he came to a stop. Gathering as many opinions as possible seemed an adequate use of time, yet as if on high-alert for something Sephiroth often seemed restless in quick glances around.

[So it was probably one of the dumbest ideas she'd ever had and it was going to get her killed one of these days. It didn't stop the perky brunette from being herself.

The light in the portal was bright enough to have Selphie's eyes clamping shut. It's like floating in zero gravity for the briefest of moments before her feet are landing on solid ground. She heard more than saw initially before she gingerly opened her eyes to a sight that she hasn't seen in quite some time. She stares at the familiar building in front of her in shock and disbelief.

The stage, the foliage, the sunlight streaming in from far above her and the bustling of SeeD and cadet alike had her stepping back and taking the atmosphere in that she thought she'd lost for good.]

Garden...?

[Selphie moved to sit on the stage while she stared at everything wistfully.]

What in the world is that Rift anyway?

[Face front, True Believers! Not-Stan Lee here to tell you another pulse-pounding, senses-shattering, off-the-wall excitement that only Not-Marvel can give you!

Welcome to New York City, where Legends are born! A lot has changed in the eight months since a mysterious incident the befell the planet claimed the lives of Reed Richards and his family as people you know and love have changed in various ways. The unpopular are popular, the poor are rich and famous names are no longer around!

And this is where we come in, as Deadpool and his merry band of heroes arrive in New York in search of that dastardly villainess Palitutu before she can enact another one of her strange and diabolical schemes!]

[And here's where you guys can go and travel this brand new world and do whatever. NPC if you want to! Marvel-NYC is the same as normal NYC, except for a number of landmarks that obviously doesn't exist in the real world:

Avengers Tower - former home to the World's Mightest Heroes, the Avengers. Financial hard times on Tony Stark's part has forced him to sell it, so it's currently abandoned. There might be some old gear left over if you want to sneak in and grab it!

Avengers Mansion - the other former home to the World's Mightest Heroes. Once in the possession of Luke Cage, the beautiful mansion is now a cosplay hotel, but there's still gear in there, but it's locked up tight.

Sanctum Sanctorum - home to the Sorcerer Supreme, Doctor Strange. You... probably don't want to go there. A lot of magical, mystical mumbo jumbo goes down in there and you probably don't want to accidentally unleash something like Shuma-Gorrath on this world.

Parker Industries - with Stark Industries on the decline, this up-and-coming scientific corporation is making its mark on New York and the world. Its owner, Peter Parker, is off jet-setting, but you can probably catch the company's mascot, Spider-Man, swinging around every once in awhile. Maybe while you're here, you can try out the spiffy new Webware device!

Daily Bugle - a popular newspaper in New York. It barely does the anti-Spider-Man stuff since J. Jonah Jameson left the paper, first to become Mayor, then to be a reporter of Fact Channel News.

Schaefer Theater - Deadpool's base of operations. Did you know the guy is insanely popular? It's also the home base of the Avengers Unity Squad, but they're not around right now. Probably.

The only other local is outside in Westminster, but that's lost its real value since the Jean Grey School of Higher Learner mysteriously disappeared.

Oh, and one other thing - if you see a green cloud and you're a mutant? Run. That's a Terrigen Cloud and it's not friendly to you at all. Especially since we've lost our functional immortality.]

[When the Heroes step through the portal, they find themselves in a welcoming setting. Unlike the calm of Order's Sanctuary, the sprawling, dense jungles and forests of Ales' home are vivid and filled with gentle sounds. Small yellow orbs of light float above the branches, radiating magic. The denizens of the glade are a variety of fantastic creatures, ranging from faeries to frog-like men to...anything weird you can come up with. There are Teensies just like Ales, though they wear pastels and have spiral markings on their noses instead of stripes like his.

The Heroes wake up in the middle of the forest, but in the distance, they will see a large glowing orb among the foliage. This is the Heart of the World, and the Teensie race are the guardians of this source of life energy. They're a party-loving people, and would love to waste time with the Heroes. If they learn of their heroic deeds, the Heroes might get a chance to meet with the Teensie king, the Grand Minimus. Or rather, kings. The crown is passed among the four of them during the day since that's the best compromise they could come up with.

Most residents the Heroes will come are resting in their homes and wave at the newcomers with smiles. Life is good here, and there is no need for them to worry for their safety. Perhaps they want to sit a while and eat some brightly colored fruit? Explore the intertwining branches that they use as walkways?

Ales, however, will not waste any time. No matter how much he detests his lazy neighbors, they are not going to be friendly with him. The instant he realizes where they are, he ducks into the bushes and crawls away from any settlement. He was planning on returning to the Glade, but he has no killer robots to conquer it with. Terrible timing.

That's not all. A flying ship has shown up on the horizon, captained by the feared robot pirate Razorbeard and his crew. The Heroes can ignore the threat and let the locals deal with the problem, or they can board the ship, beat the pirates through fighting or trickery, and jump through the portal that appeared by their ship...]

[This whole thing reminded Johnny of Exsilium missions, and it didn't sit right with him. Stepping into other worlds or times to collect supplies, or change things. Look how well that worked out for Exsilium. The last time Johnny got to see his hometown, it was a horrible experience. Since then, he's had a lot of homesickness, thinking that he'll never see it again.

While this might not be his New York, it might as well be with how similar it is. He's really overwhelmed when he lays his eyes on it. Mission? What mission?]

... Oh my god.

Edited 2016-08-15 00:27 (UTC)

A. Arrival

[A world with crystals and Moogles? Within the realm of reason. A land where everyone is some kind of horse? Whatever, Ales can accept that. But this? A city made of metal? It's practically in the realm of imagination!

...And Ales loves it.

He remains near the entry portal to gaze at the skycrapers in awe. His neck is straining even when standing miles away from the downtown area, clearly a sign that this is a city of the future.]

This isn't steampunk, this is something far more advanced. Just what is this place?

B. Parker Industries

[So the only other choice Ales had decided was worth paying attention to was Sanctum Sanctorum, but that has magic stuff which is the opposite of Ales's modus operandi. Nothing worth his time in there, which is not the case for Parker Industries.

Science? Technological breakthroughs? Even if he didn't have the Hacker Job equipped, he had to investigate that. In fact, he's one of the Heroes to volunteer stealing a few things from the warehouses. Obviously, he can go wandering the streets of New York as he is and grab the public's attention, which is why he's begging you to take him there by tugging on your clothes with the most pitiful look in his black eyes.

He's a terrible Teensie, but he knows that many can't fully defy a small, cute creature.]

[Johnny knew Chiaki had it rough, but he wasn't prepared for this.]

Christ. What the hell even happened here? It's like... How does a world get so bad?

[Doesn't seem like there's going to be a lot of time for questions. His head snaps towards the sound of the scream.]

Shit. Already, huh. Let's go.

[The Barkeep goes through a list of possible scenarios for what happened to Chiaki's version of Earth. Alien invasion. Totalitarian Earth government. Some mad scientist released his army of robot bears, and things have gone too far in the robotic uprising. He's going to go with the last possibility; that seems more likely.

It's the computer that catches his attention. He hadn't spoken with Chiaki often, and he had no clue as to her true nature.]

Didn't think you were an AI this whole time.

[His tone has no hint of surprise. After all, the AI of his saloon on Mars developed the personality of a bratty teenager, and seeing one on a computer is normal. It's rare that they're given a visual representation, which does draw his curiosity.]

You gonna do okay in there?

Right.

[Without looking away from the portal, he sidesteps away from the main gathering of Heroes. No matter the angle, the portal always looks as if it's facing them. Even for someone who doesn't get all this time and space travel science, Duster can tell they will end up somewhere drastically different.]

It might be our only way out, but we're going to do this together. [He glances at K'pandolu standing by his side and flicks his eyes toward the Sanctuary.] We better get moving soon.

[Of course that's his response. Aoi is the type of guy to brag about how well he handles things, and that's why Duster likes him.]

Good. [He smiles and lets his hands relax by his side.] There's another thing we found. There's some portals around the edge of this clearing, and we think Palitutu escaped through one of those.

["We" meaning Duster and K'pandolu, but the other Heroes have figured that out themselves as well.</small] I don't know what's waiting for us on the other side, but we can't stay here forever.

[As if appearing out of thin air, the pink-haired princess stood at the front of the formed crowd to look at the thin-haired stalk of a man. Arms cross over her chest, long-sleeves covering what little of her mittens are visible against the blue-colored fabric of her dress.]

You're awfully chipper. Where the hell have you been, huh?

[Her nose crinkles in that all-too familiar look of disdain and relief, a faint smirk cracking at the corner of her mouth as she tries her best to keep a serious and collected expression.]

So the thief has returned to Tazmily. About time you showed back up!

[It was not her first time hearing that horrific howl, the sort of cry that makes nerves cease their functioning and the warmth of blood go cold in one's veins. Slowly, her head turns to look to those around her, forgetting their position and letting her brazen attitude get the better of them.]

Shit! Is that what I think it is?!

[Her mitten covered hands raise up in haste, covering her lips as her eyes go even wider at now realizing what she had done. Her voice was anything but soft, and had certainly traveled down the length of the hall where they had collected. Her voice lowers significantly, calling across to her old traveling companion, doing what she can to get his attention without making their situation all the worse.]

Duster! Hey! We need to move! Now!

[Welcome to Mars, year 3013! Which suspiciously looks more like the American west, 1813. The scenery is a lot more red than the deserts of the southwest, however. Not far away from where they stand is the town, the only human settlement on Mars. It's not very impressive, just a handful of small buildings, homes and businesses looking peaceful in the hot desert sun. There is more greenery than some might expect in the far distance, fields where farming is transforming the landscape, and where hypercattle and other animals graze.

It might not look like much, but to Barkeep and Sparks, it's home, and they're glad to be back.]
