[center][b][h2][color=black]Über Ethereal[/color][/h2] New York - Kolon's Hut, Arcadia-1[/b] [@Flamelord][@thewizardguy][@Lmpkio][@Absolis][/center] [hr] Right out of the blue the Kolons went full Oompa Loompa on the intimidating monsters of the group by holding their hands and dragging them into their makeshift base. The Ethereal couldn't quite grasp the situation as it seemed a little too surreal, even for such a strange psionic being like it. Apocalypse rejected them eventually, and seemed to behave in a non-hostile manner toward them, a just as bizarre thing to observe from such a beast. The alien could only conclude that its sentience did have its effect on its linear purpose in existence. It was convinced that eventually Apocalypse would likely transcend this simple goal, for better or for worse. The fact that, despite its aggressiveness, didn't actually display any real violence to the Outliners only increased the overlord's expectations concerning its evolution. As for Ruiko, the alien wasn't too satisfied that it would be separated from her, mostly because there were powerful energy sources everywhere. These Yakuza, even if they were peaceful, still displayed a force mighty enough to quickly kill her, especially after what she displayed against only four Berserkers. Though these worries would quickly be brushed away by the immense amount of information held in this building. The technology was insanely advanced, transcending Conablum labs and likely theirs as well. The hardware seemed easy enough to replicate, however when attempting to decode what they held, the extraterrestrial could barely make anything of it. What this held was beyond knowledge, beyond information it could simply gather. To the Ethereal, this was almost madness. It would only be thanks to Biollante that it would have stopped burning its mind on the subject. "[color=black]Hmmm. Very well. Have it extracted by the Mechtoids and delivered to the Research Overseer. Also, supervise Ruiko Saten. We may have to evacuate in a hurry.[/color]" It ordered Biollante before reaching the room the Kolons had brought Nova's regenerating body to. Upon witnessing the abomination, the alien was at a loss for words. Data displayed Nova's power and the Ethereal was clearly aware of what it could entail, but as a Psionic, what it felt was beyond what it could imagine. Never has it encountered such a being. The Psychic energy coming from this "man's" body was evidently superior to the 'Gift' in many ways, but also resembled it a lot. While Apocalypse was indeed a stunt to play with, if they were to attempt to control this, they would likely be going against their very principles as The Dark Outliners. But in the end, whether they'd like it or not, Nova was their enemy and would bring forth complications no matter the alternative. They needed to stop his awakening, or seal him long enough from his powers to eventually understand and regulate it. Alone, it couldn't do this, it needed at least another superior mind at hand. '[color=black][i]Conablum. Synchronize your teleporter with this one. Your immediate presence is urgently needed.[/i][/color]' '[color=black][i]Biollante. Prepare the Terminal, evacuation may be at a moment's reach.[/i][/color]' It pleaded, making it very clear that there was a very good reason for her to come at this very moment. Both Biollate and Ruiko heard the second transmission, they would not be ignorant of the potential end of times Arcadia may face if they would not control this situation. The Alien knew very well that with Nova's return, and the power he had displayed, there'd be no reason for him to not simply lay waste to everything in this world. After all, it was safe to assume he was defending his followers long enough for them to use that portal they had detected. "[color=black]Kolon, Rivard. We must prevent this man from awakening, for now. Is there anything in your arsenal capable of this type of feat? There is no time to waste.[/color]"
