[b]Ruiko Saten, New York City, Arcadia-1[/b] Ruiko couldn't help but stare, caught between the possibilities that presented themselves to her. She dimly acknowledged the Ethereal as it spoke to her telepathically, still working over her own opinion of it. It was....an alien! And one who had sent those things to attack her too! But on the other hand, it did have Mikoto, and had offered to help her get stronger. Still, it was pretty likely hat it wasn't her Mikoto, so she shouldn't be too attached (She was starting to get used to this 'multiverse' thing.) She looked between the two as they conversed, flinching at Nova's gaze. How...how did he know that? Just how powerful was he, to know that the effect of the Level Upper faded over time (requiring it to be used again to resume her full strength) with just a single look? It was absurd. Yet she couldn't deny what he said either. She could only listen at the arguments, the claims made by the two of them, her eyes wide and conflicted. But that was not to be the end of the charade, as Nova walked outside. The battle there ended just as quick, and her astonishment grew as he banished that thing from before with a simple wave of his hand. "Aaaah!" A cry tore free as she flinched away, only to feel nothing as she saw a shield protecting her. There was awe, gratitude in her expression, but also the hint of fear. He....did that?!? If he said that he was a God, then how could she deny it after that display? "That was amazing," she mumbled to herself, staying in place for now. It was all she could do. [hr] [b]Ahsoka Tano, Eastgate City, Arcadia-2[/b] Ahsoka fell silent for the moment, listening to the exchange as the new member of their group talked with Gojirah and the others. She did her best to appear relaxed, though she was far from it. It was a good thing she had that training with Assaj, among other things. It made it easier to be more deceptive than she normally was. It seemed that this man, Alexander, had ended up here like the rest of them, and that his world was not the best of places, comparatively speaking. Though her galaxy wasn't either and she had dealt with her fair share of mad scientists, making doomsday weapons and the like. He didn't seem the type, but with what she was getting in the Force, that was no guarantee. "I see," she noted herself, but before she could go on there was an interruption. The roar of starships came overhead, the first such noise she had heard since really coming here. Looking up, she was prepared for the worst, but she could instantly tell that these weren't Imperial ships, come to bomb this place like they had Arcadia. So once she had confirmed that, she straightened up, visibly lowering her guard. "Interesting," she noted as she watched the display, a hand resting on her hip. "I don't recognize that type of ship." She then glanced over at Alexander as he voiced his awe, adding her own opinion of that. "Somehow I don't think they'll be a fan of you taking their stuff without their permission." They didn't appear to be hostile yet, that was for sure. Though she wondered how he planned to salvage anything from them anyway. He didn't have any anti-ship weaponry on him, that she could see. He was probably exaggerating. Well, all in all it was interesting, but she wouldn't worry too much about it. It didn't affect them at the moment anyway.
