She lowered her blades and stepped out from the corner, dismissing them once she saw that her foe was unarmed. Endian wasn't surprised to see that her opponent was Omega, the ghostly gunslinger that her soldiers had met in battle so long ago. Endian was confident that her weapons could easily destroy him far more effectively than her minions would have, but for now they would stay their blades. [color=firebrick]"Let's not waste any time. We need to find the sources of this place and-"[/color] And of course the room began to rumble and shift. Endian produced hard light barriers around herself in preparation of any sort of attack, only to find herself in some sort of wide amphitheater. And soon the master of this place, Helena, spoke to them. [color=firebrick]"Well that wasn't too hard."[/color] Once more she promised power and knowledge for those who would abandon their factions to join her. She seemed to have some sort of map which, thanks to access to Endian's knowledge database, she knew was a map of the Multiverse. Endian had very little interest in the multiverses that the Nexus was connected to mainly because even with the knowledge of their existence, Endian had no means to actually travel to those places. Such a thing was limited to the domain of the gods, demon lords, and whatever existence Eos is. Somewhat more importantly, Helena asked them all what they fought for. Endian's, or rather Krieg's, answer was one quite simple. he fought because he was made for battle. Nothing more nothing less. It was no lie and even if his birth was bizarre, his existence remain the same. Yet with Endian's higher knowledge something had changed in the way Krieg thought. He saw a bigger picture than the next battle. He didn't understand it even with Endian's knowledge, but it was still something that interested in. [color=firebrick]"What do I fight for... If you had asked me that a few days ago, I would have told you I simply exist to fight. Even this body I inhabit is built for war, and serves the queen to continue doing battle in her name. But with what little knowledge I've gained, I've started to develop a new interest."[/color] Endian stepped forward towards Helena, her hands still at her side. She looked at the vampire-creature, her expression hidden underneath her armor's mask. [color=firebrick]"I fight to end all this chaos. Before I cared nothing, nay... I wanted the war to continue. It's what I was made for. But now I just want to see an end. Perhaps you offer the same thing..."[/color] Endian then turned her back from Helena and looked towards all the others who have gathered her. Endian could recognize many of their faces. Almost everyone she had fought before, either as Grafdakka or Endian before Krieg had taken her. [color=firebrick]"I'm sure we all want to win and to find some satisfying ending. But so long as we're enemies that will never happen. We've all be fighting, dying, and suffering because we think there's no other way. To join you just means to do all of that under your banner."[/color] Endian extended her hand out to everyone instead of towards Helena. [color=firebrick]"If you truly care about winning, to find some reward for all your efforts, or even just to make your existence meaningful... Join me instead."[/color] [hr] [center][img]http://i.imgur.com/4B27bPA.png[/img] [h3][color=goldenrod]Francisca Labrys Seax Luxuria[/color][/h3][/center] Sufficient to say, a lot of crazy stuff happened. Fran herself nearly died simply from the aftermath of the big guys fighting each other, abandoning an offense solely so she could get out of the way and avoid any harm that might befall her. As Fran avoided falling rocks and radioactive lasers, she thought she saw a familiar face someo where in the distance. Fran tried to get a closer look until a giant boulder nearly crushed her, causing Fran to dodge away. [color=goldenrod]"Maybe I should get a giant robot too!"[/color] Fran noted as she spotted henry putting up a fight using his mech. Eventually the giant black squiggly angel thing tackled the fire breathing nuclear lizard underneath a cave in, just as Henry flew by and picked up Fran and Miyu. [color=goldenrod]"Thanks Henry. That got pretty crazy didn't it?"[/color] Of course that wasn't the end of it. As Henry's mech crashed, Fran jumped out and landed on her feet well out of the way of any falling rocks, cut off from the rest of the others and wherever it was they were are previously. Miyu asked if everyone was always that strong to which Fran shrugged her shoulders. [color=goldenrod]"That's pretty normal all things considered."[/color] Not a moment to rest before everyone was warped into some sort of Colosseum. At this point Fran wasn't really going to wrap her head around the "How" or "Why", figuring that this was just going to be how it'll be. It was that same person from before, the host of this entire realm, asking for their loyalty. Fran really did question why this person was so intent on getting their, and more importantly, Fran's help. It's not as if she's exactly a big player in this game. [color=goldenrod]"You must be really desperate if you're asking us for help."[/color] Fran rested her axe on her shoulders as she looked towards the others who have gathered here. A lot of familiar faces. Some too familiar, but also too far. [color=goldenrod]"You know, I'm not the smartest demon in hell, but you're also not the first one who's promised me the power to overthrow the Big Three and yada yada yada. And while the people making those offers are way stronger than me, we still have the Big Three and I haven't heard from those talkers in years. So you can fuck with our heads and force us to teleport in your realm, big whoop. Victorie could do that if we went to her place too. You make a lot of promises and you talk big, but what can you actually do to prove that you stand a chance against any of the Big Three, or even some of their better warriors?"[/color] [@floodtalon][@The 42nd Gecko][@KoL]
