[b]Nono, Council Tower, Yggdrasil -> Castle Tepes[/b]

Nono was quiet as things wrapped themselves up in the Council chamber, the agreement to go through with the mission not contested in spite of the efforts of Gintoki to ruin things. Well, she could punish him for that later if no one else did, since he wasn't being very nice anyway. No one would blame her, and she'd learned useful stuff like that which she could use. If she went through with it, anyway. 

Soon enough a sort of portal had been formed of bats, rippling black in the center. Normally that sort of thing would have been a tad offputting, but with Saber going through Nono wouldn't hesitate either, swiftly following on her heels and into the portal. Time to see where they were going this time. 

The transit was...weird, with no other way to put it, before they emerged back into the real world. Still, it wasn't terrible, she supposed. There were worse ways to travel through the multiverse, and this one hadn't even included any actual pain, so it was that much better. 

Arriving though, they found themselves at practically a stereotypical vampire castle, a large gated mansion with a town seemingly below, torches, night, leafless trees and craggy rocks. It was exciting enough to give Nono the chills!Sure, the Queen looked like she had been going for that effect, but the gynoid certainly wasn't going to complain about it. 

"Wow," she said, eyes wide. "This is amazing!" She hadn't seen anything like it, at least in her reality. For some reason, people didn't go for super spooky mansions. She advanced up to the gate then, ready to go and see what it was like on the inside. 

Always a brave soul, she was.

[b]Misaka 10,032, Academy City[/b]

Misaka killed the engine as she came through the portal, pulling to a halt before she could hit anything. Kakine and Marisa came through shortly thereafter, and the portal flared shut before any hostile elements could follow through. All in all, a fairly successful mission. 

The room was relatively large, with monitors and computer banks for processing power, power lines feeding the large portal mechanism from generators further inside the facility, with whites and metallic greys to go with the bright lights and the myriad of flashing screens. The lack of scientists wasn't unexpected, given protocols and the fact that she had informed them that they would have a guest ahead of time. 

Instead it was one of her Sisters, 15656. Not a surprise either, since they were the most qualified to deal with any intruders outside of a legitimate Level 5, most of whom probably would not want to be on guard duty if they could go through the portal instead. They were less expendable as well, so this really was not hard to determine.

Misaka watched emotionlessly as her Sister walked off to report to their superiors, before looking over at Kakine. "'Agreed," Misaka confirms as she reluctantly takes off her power armor," Misaka said as she deactivated the suit and began to take it off. Scientists wold end up pouring over it to see what advances could be taken from it, adding further to the data that she had collected. All as part of their job.

She was about finished by the time Kakine had finished his phone call, and had relayed their new mission. "'Understood,' Misaka replies as she moves to keep Marisa from fleeing through the portal in the event of an escape attempt," Misaka said, bag of weapons once more on her back. With that said she would follow the Kakine and their guest to where the Teleporters were waiting, for their meeting with Mr. Crowley.

[b]Cinder Fall, Museum World[/b]

The first wolf died with a yelp as it was struck by lightning from Kanji's attack, the body soon dissolving into nothingness like all Grimm tended to do once they had died. Cinder didn't mind too much if she had even been paying attention, since their purpose in the first place was to die. No one would shed any tears to some dead Grimm.

The second would meet the same fate, but the third was fast enough to get past and charge at Kanji once more, angry for the death of it's companions, with teeth ready to bite, eyes red, and claws ready to rend as it attacked. 

Meanwhile Cinder's fight went on, much to the woman's annoyance. It wasn't that in particular, but rather the fact that Blake would not stand still, and simply kept using those clones of hers as a distraction to get in hits, which were chipping away at her already weakened Aura. She struggled to think that even the version from her reality was this annoying.

"Tcch," she grunted as she recovered from the Dust empowered fireball, blown off her feet for brief moments before rising once more. Well then, if that was how they were going to do things....

She acted then, firing off her bow before moving in, blades flashing with the additional application of Fire or Ice Dust where needed. If it weren't for the wounds she had already sustained, Cinder knew that this would barely have been a contest. There was no way that a simple Huntress could have kept up with the powers that she had to wield. Instead though, she was looking at a defeat in the making if she couldn't turn the tide. 

So they went on. Attempts to catch the black swords in stone would end with the Dust removed and reforming for barely an interruption, removing that as a strategy. In the meanwhile Cinder drew heavily on her own Dust, crystallized shards flying out like bullets to accompany her swift attacks. Things had gotten a lot more serious, and it was time to see how well this version of the kitty could dance.
