It wasn't a perfect gathering, The Creator mused. There were still some notable stragglers, but The Creator supposed that they didn't all have to be there. They sighed, rubbing their temple briefly as they looked upon the mess of papers still strewn out before them. They had to find a place where this group could be tested, to try and weed out those who simply wouldn't work for one reason or another. It was daunting, to be certain, but The Creator had something in mind... Soon, The Creator found what they were looking for. A land where the hills had eyes, fungus and turtles reigned supreme, and a single man could conquer an army. At least, that's how it was supposed to be. The hills still had eyes, unaffected by the Spark, but everything else was far, far out of order. Taking a deep breath, the creator laid the piece of paper in their hands across the paper that held the temporary world everyone found themselves on, essentially creating a bridge between the two. Of course, it wouldn't be a literal bridge... ---------------------------------- It was times like this Kieri hated the brace the most. If she could fly, this wouldn't have been an issue-she doubted Jasper would've been able to keep up with her if she took to the air, and even if she could then she'd have access to her sword and her magic. It would've been an even fight! More than that though, if she could fly right now, she wouldn't have run into what looked like death himself and his skeletal cousin. Kieri's pale face went paler as she looked up at Darth Vader and Ainz, blue eyes shaking and mouth agape again. He truly did look like death, albeit with less red and much, much more black. Ainz's appearance did little to put her at ease either, figuring that skeletons should not be external like that. She clung to Harvey perhaps a bit tighter than she should have, forgetting momentarily that Jasper was more or less right behind her. She only remembered when she heard the ground getting tossed up behind her as Jasper barreled towards her. She closed her eyes and braced for an impact that never came. She opened one eye slowly, able to see that Vader now had one of his hands outstretched and that the noise of Jasper's approach had ceased. Before she could turn around to check, Vader had chucked Jasper away and sent her crashing into a mound of land nearby, a small crater forming from the impact. She stared at the impact site for a moment until Vader spoke again, his booming voice and mannerisms commanding attention of anyone around him. And so Kieri gave him that, shakily working her way back up to her feet and letting go of Harvey. The Angel bit her lip, knowing she would've been more than happy to explain what was happening here if it weren't for the damned brace. She was about to go through the same routine of trying to mime to these two newcomers what she wanted when the blue light happened. Kieri froze in place and glanced over her shoulder slowly. It was an electric blue pulsing ball of light, perhaps five meters or so behind The Engineer, that glowed brightly enough to be seen all around this small island. It was hard to stare directly at, Kieri having to shield her eyes just to look at it. It was almost like a blue star, she figured. At that moment, the noise of shifting ruble hit Kieri's ears, and she turned towards where Jasper had been tossed away, watching as the Quartz warrior emerged from the wreckage with merely a few scuff marks. Jasper shook her head as she stood up, groaning for a moment before fixing her eyes back on to Harvey and Kieri. At least she did until she realized what was happening just a few short feet away from her. Her eyes were drawn to it, eyebrow quirking a bit in surprise. [color=FFA500][i]'Blue Diamond must have gotten word of my disappearance.'[/i][/color] She thought optimistically, but it was not meant to be. After a few moments, the ball of light started to form and shape, eventually making a solid stone arch with the same bright blue light swirling in the middle of it. On the keystone of the arch was a wooden plaque that read 'Toad Town'. A ways away, York could see the pulsing blue light from the forest as it lit up the sky like a light show. He watched it in fascination, rubbing his chin a few times before it ended as the portal formed. When it finished, York spoke up. [color=708090]"Looks like something we should investigate. Don't you agree, Zach?"[/color] York spoke aloud.
