"Let's end this!" Jeanne's hologram said as she brought down her sword in a vertical slash, sending out a wave of light at Seth, which was not meant to be her primary attack; rather, she would leap up and try and flip herself behind the Nobody, slashing out with her blade once more.

Tocsax, meanwhile, was launching a stream of dark projectiles at the Ascot Hologram, who in turn reacted with a barrier of green light that reflected the bolts back at his opponent, who then froze the hologram in a block of ice, only to find the construct teleporting out, and launching a baragge of bolts of pure white light...

Seth didn't appear to react at first. It wasn't until the wave of light came dangerously close that a dome of sand sprung up around him and acting as a protective shell of sorts. Of course, an attack of light like that wouldn't be stopped by dark sand for very long, especially if compounded by a secondary strike from the flank. This woman was pretty skilled, but the Incubators were about to learn just who it was they were up against.

Jeanne's attacks both connected, and Seth's protective dome of sand appeared to be reduced to a harmless pile of sand. But the Nobody himself was not in sight. Always the tricky bastard, Seth used a Corridor within the dome to vanish from sight. Meanwhile, as the hologram of Ascot had just launched a sizable volley of light energy bolts, what should appear between the pair? A Corridor of Darkness, naturally. The Corridor caught the volley of projectiles, only to send them... over to Jeanne.

After emerging from the Corridor, Seth flashed an unsettling grin, "Attacking your own ally? Not very sporting of you, I think." he said with a chuckle, effectively establishing himself as an opponent of both Jeanne and Ascot. As long as this was two versus two, then he and Tocsax may as well have each others' backs.

Tocsax would smile, saying:

"You really are good, Seth." He would then raise his Keyblade high up in the air, causing bolts of lightning to come down and impact not just Jeanne and Ascot's holograms, but several of the walkaways and crystals. Continuing, the Nobody Keyblader would then speak:

"Let's maximize damage to Incubator infrastructure while fighting; after all, we need to take them out of the fight."

Jeanne and Ascot, meanwhile, would step up their game. With new programming subroutines given them by the Incubators, Jeanne would lift up her sword and cause columns of light that were as fast as well, light, to come down and impact Tocsax and Seth, while Ascot would cast:

"Zero Graviza!" in a hollow, afraid voice, causing the two Nobodies to float up after getting hit or avoiding the columns of light. The hologram of the Multiverse's 'creator' would then ready his Holo-Keyblade, which was in the shape of a regular Kingdom Key, and teleport directly at Tocsax, before saying, once more:

"Ars Arcanum!" letting loose a flurry of glowing strikes and cuts at Tocsax.

"Maximum carnage, huh? I think I've got it." Seth moved to try something, but the sight of Jeanne's light columns stopped him before he could do it. The speed of light was difficult to match, but thankfully Seth had just the answer:

"Hastega." he whispered, making sure to use the more advanced spell so that Tocsax would also benefit from the speed boost. With that, avoiding the light columns became much easier. But Ascot, or at least this thing that looked like him, didn't plan to let them off so easily. With a single spell, the speed from the Hastega was rendered null and void as gravitational forces held the Nobodies down and then lifted them up into a helpless position.

Ascot went on the attack, but still seemed to want to focus on Tocsax instead of Seth. Whelp, that would just be its downfall, "You'll regret ignoring me... Stopga!" even trapped by a Zero Gravity field, Seth could still use magic of his own, this one was the adanced Stop spell that would hopefully keep their opponents still long enough for the two Nobodies to get some kind of strategy going.

Seth had one idea, and encased himself and Tocsax within another sand dome. But at the same time, other sand domes also began to take shape, "Ever play the shell game?" Seth asked his teammate, "Use Corridors of Darkness to move between domes of sand and stay hidden. Think of it like a life-or-death version of the old shell game routine. When we do have to emerge, we may want to consider calling in our personal cavalries if you get my drift."

"Indeed," spoke Tocsax, before he drew out a data drive from his black robe. "We might also use this on the Holographic Ascot; this drive contains the conciousness of Data-Ascot, a computer program developed to seek out the records of the Old Keyblade Order. If we can upload this drive to Hologram!Ascot by jabbing it into his chest, Data-Ascot can possess him and give us another ally, at least temporarily." Tocsax didn't mention the fact that Data-Ascot had a capital-h Heart; that was irrelevant.

"Well, that still leaves Ms. Tall-Brunette-and-Beautiful for us to deal with. Of all the Magical Girls the Incubators could have dug up they pick the one who seems the biggest pain the arse. What do you say we give her some extra sparring partners to play with while we focus on Not-Ascot?" it wasn't the most brilliant or revolutionary plan in the world, but it could at least suit their current needs.

"Huddle-time over then, yes? The Stopga spell should be wearing off right about now..." with that Seth disappeared into a Corridor that would lead him to underneat one of the other domes. The one he chose was positioned at an equal dstance from both enemies while still facing their flanks, "Go big or go home."

Outside the dome, it suddenly burst apart, sending a volley of sand spikes right at Not-Ascot. Seth simultaneously willed a small battalion of Snipers around Jeanne's position and let them fire at will, "Hope this is enough coverage for you, Tocsax."

"It is!" Tocsax said as he opened up his own Corridor to behind Not-Ascot, then jabbed the data drive at the hologram, causing a bright flash of light.

Unauthorized intrusion detected - Source: Data-Ascot created by the Keyblade Order Remnants, the Incubators, their catlike bodies showing no emotion except a smile, Purge attempt: Failed.

The Ascot Hologram, his dead, unemotional eyes now replaced with a visible smirk, turned on the Incubators, calling a column of light upon yet another of their walkaways, while Jeanne tried to leap, parry, or otherwise avoid the Snipers' bolts, only to find herself getting hit anyway.

Tocsax, meanwhile, conjured up his own battalion of Samurai Nobodies, which began thier own wreckage of Incubator infrastructure.

Nevertheless, the Incubators were non-plussed, and instead said:

Scenario 2880 has come to fruition; launching countermeasures. And with that, a gigantic hole opened up in the sky, and a gigantic artifcial moon, constructed out of panes of light, would descend from it, brimming with crackles of electricity at its underside.

A museum piece from when we needed weapons against rival civilizations. This superweapon was the last to be 'shelved', a planet destroyer for purging entire civilizations. We have decided that you three individuals are a threat that needs to be dealt with with force this overwhelming, even if more of our infrastructure would be destroyed by this. In fact...

Several portals opened up, leading to Renovation, Chronos, Glory of France, Alternate World War II (where the Allies were finally winning), and various other worlds that were important to the group.

In fact, we may actually destroy the remnants of the Old Keyblade Order entirely, and thus remove those who would threaten to increase the flow of Entropy...

Seth almost smiled. Almost. Was he really this much of a threat that the Incubators felt the need to unleash a planet-busting superweapon just to beat him? It was almost flattering in a way. Then they had to go and ruin the fun by threatening a multitude of worlds, including their so-called allies from Chronos.

"Well, this certainly... escalated." said the Nobody with a chuckle, "You'll even turn your superweapon against Chronos? The people you supposedly brokered a deal with? Sheesh, and I thought I was the one with no feelings." Seth wasn't without his purpose, however, as he turned on the little communication bug that Drake left for him so that what he said next could be heard by Drake who would hopefully be able to forward it to their Fleet.

"So you're basically going to wipe out all these worlds, and all the people in them just because two humble Nobodies managed to piss you off?" Seth said with a shrug, then added, "Can't say I'm not flattered. But you should know, my employer is not going to be happy when he hears about this... which he should be right about nowish." Maybe, just maybe, the Emperor's fleet could muster up enough firepower to destroy this thing. Also, the message would naturally get passed along to the rest of the Team as well, signaling them that they should probably pick up the pace just a smidge and maybe try to come up with some kind plan to counteract this superweapon.

Apparently I'm not allowed to have a life outside the internet without someone bitching at me for not posting as often as they do. In which case, fine, I'm not a fan of rushing things at such a break neck pace anyway. Consider this my formal withdrawal from the game. Best of luck to you.
Our universe's version of Jeanne D' Arc, a Magical Girl of immense power whose wish was 'to bring Light to France'. A 'Holy Warrior', her duplicate is intended to be a match against dark powers held by the entity known as Seth. As for Tocax, however...




And yet no one is going to understand why I'm reacting that way for quite a while yet.
“Why would you want to destroy the incubators?” Cheese turned another page and continued to read about the Witches Barriers. “They provide a service for a cost and it’s all laid out fairly so it’s not as if they’re doing anything wrong. There’s not really any reason why we should stop them.”

""Destroy them"...?" the Nobody cocked an eyebrow, "...you misunderstand me. I said we should eliminate them. Drive them off? Remove them from the equation? Of course we can't kill them all..." his innocent grin never faltered, but he did offer the fairy a wink, "...that would just be silly. And very, very evil. I'm guessing the boss over there wouldn't want us to go sinking to Leo's level just to complete a mission." interesting thing for him to say, considering that little stunt he pulled against Nate and Nora back in France.

"Maybe I misheard the briefing, but these Incubator people are manipulating innocent girls into accepting powers they do not grasp or understand and then allowing them to suffer what sounds like a fate worse then death... right?" Seth asked, managing to summarize the basis of the world in that single question, "How is that not a reason to stop them? You guys are trying to save people, yeah?"



"Whelp, this is definitely a... world." Seth said in response to his new surroundings. He and Tocsax were sent to the Incubator's world, the Emperor apparently agreeing with Seth's assessment of the aliens since the twos' mission was simply to take them down. Whether he meant actually destroying them or not, well... it didn't really matter. In the end, the Incubators had to be stopped before they could ally themselves with Leo and become an even larger threat. The idea of Leo being able to add an army of Witches or Magical Girls to his forces, well, that was just unacceptable.

Humans - no, Nobodies, a telepathic voice boomed out from the inhabitants, if your business in the Incubators' Citadel is the destruction of our civilization, we must warn you that you risk the overall welfare of this universe...then again, mortals are so uncautious.

The Nobody instinctively clutched his head when the migraine came out of nowhere. Compounding that was a horrible screeching noise in his ears. And of all things he started seeing... a pyramid, with him inside it. He was preparing to face Hakim, so it looked like the incident just before they met the Princess of Heart in that world. After that he saw Moscow - more specifically, the tanks followed by his previous encounter with the assassin. What exactly were the Incubators trying to accomplish by making him relive recent events? Then some kind of hologram appeared. A girl in some kind of armor with a sword.

Our universe's version of Jeanne D' Arc, a Magical Girl of immense power whose wish was 'to bring Light to France'. A 'Holy Warrior', her duplicate is intended to be a match against dark powers held by the entity known as Seth.

"So... you're basically sacrificing innocent girls to save your universe?" Seth asked, the headache pain starting to die down, "Or maybe you're just trying to save your own skins?" the image of Jeanne raised her sword in preparation for an attack, "It's all just numbers to you guys, right? The ends justify the means..." the girl lunged, going for a straight charge only to be pushed back by a sudden burst of sand, "Can't say I disagree with that, but my employer? Well, he does disagree, and asked me ever-so-nicely to come put a stop to it. So here I am."

Jeanne charged again, thrusting her sword at the Nobody several times, even throwing in the occasional horizontal or diagonal slashes to vary it up. Seth was fast, though, able pivot his body from side to side or just sidestep the attacks altogether. Without warning he spun his body around and his entire leg from knee to ankle smashed into Jeanne's waist and sent her back several feet. It wasn't a very hard hit, so she recovered almost instantly and was on the move again.
Well, one thing was for sure: this mechanical being was not magical or mystical in any way. If it were, Theran's spear would not have been so easily deflected. Nth metal possessed special properties for resisting and negating magical powers and energies, while possessing some of its own. Not that that actually mattered in this scenario. The robot thing started talking, first in a language Theran did not recognize, then in Thanagarian of all things. It tried to assure him that it was not here for battle nor for any hostile intention, but Theran wasn't completely convinced. The thing casually slaughtered a bus full of people in order to land here, and that was not something the Thanagarian was willing to overlook.

"You're not on Thanagar." Theran answered coldly, still pointing the tip of the spear at the robot once he was able to release it from being stuck. Clearly he was still not trusting this stranger, "Your ship didn't fail you, this is Earth." but something else the mechanical stranger said struck Theran as very odd, "But I know nothing of any alliance. Thanagar isn't exactly the friendliest planet in the galaxy." what was this so-called alliance the robot spoke of? Theran was certain that the only people of his planet to visit Earth were himself and the Hol's, and no one else. It did claim to be from the future... would Thanagar send forces to this planet in the future? "What do you know of Thanagar? I demand you tell me everything you know about this so-called Alliance you speak of!"
Now, to be fair, I could be overblowing this a bit. Best to just wait for Crim to get their final say on the matter. After all, they're the GM here not cranky old me. ^_^
@rocketrobie2@Growl

So instead of having an abundance of magic users we're going to have an abundance of game-changing heavy hitters? Oh joy.

Sorry if I'm not jumping for joy at the prospect of not one, but two OP Krytonians dominating the playing field. Also this makes... how many other survivors/slash clones of Kryptonians in the DC Universe now? Sheesh, it's like that whole "Last of Son of Krypton" thing just completely lost all its meaning, doesn't it? I know Cadmus isn't above cloning Supes and even Supergirl, but I'm pretty sure even Waller would want to limit the clones to one each (ie Superboy and Power Girl) because, well, they're freaking Kryptonians they're gonna be hard enough to keep under control without having several of them to keep track of. Plus, devoting an entire clone just to take on Wonder Woman (who I should mention is nowhere near Supes' level) is way overkill. Why not clone Wondy herself or another Amazon? Hell just write it off as the umpteenth reboot of Donna Troy's origin story.

EDIT: By the way, Superboy only worked out because he was half human (he had Clark's AND Lex's DNA) so a full-blooded Kryptonian who stands to be just as much of a god-mode as Superman already is? Oi...
They were only supposed to be data, characters for a video game played worldwide by kids and adults alike. Digimon: digital pets whose purpose is to be cared for by their partners, called Tamers. Of course, Digimon are also capable of battle, having destructive power of their own that can be augmented by the use of "D-Cards" carried by their Tamer, and scanned into their handheld Digivices called D-Scanners. The game itself and all its concepts were created by the gaming mega-corporation known as D-Connect. Thanks to Digimon, D-Connect has become the largest and arguably most powerful company in the world. As the popularity of Digimon exploded worldwide, so too did their influence on things like economy and even politics. As for what really goes on within D-Connect's high offices, no one actually knows, though rumors and speculations are all over the place. D-Connect only became the center of even more speculation when suddenly beasts started emerging from machines and other electronics with ties to the internet. D-Connect called them Cyber Beasts, and theorized them to be made of corrupt data from rejected Digimon designs, but came under fire with accusations from all directions. In order to save face, D-Connect greenlit "Project Destiny" wherein they searched their gaming databases for the top Digimon players around the world, and sent each of them a cryptic email inviting them to take a "tour" of D-Connects main headquarters in Tokyo. These players, these Tamers - should they choose to accept the invitation - would have their lives changed forever. Because you see... Digimon are no longer just a game.




This is a setting based loosely on Digimon Tamers, where digimon in that world was just a popular franchise. The same applies to Cyber Beasts, but this setting will incorporate a few aspects of Savers/Data Squad as well as Tamers. Basically D-Connect will recruit the best Tamers from within their player database and give them "real" Digivices designed to resemble the D-Scanners, but with a "real" Digimon stored within it. By scanning a specific D-Card, said Digimon will be temporarily manifested into a physical form that can fight against the Cyber Beasts with the Tamer's help. Of course, like most Digmon stories, there's more to this setup than meets the eye, but you'll have to play and survive the game in order to learn those secrets.

So, is anyone interested?
Moscow ~ Pre-Timeskip

"Hmm... well, let's have a look-see then, shall we?" chuckled Seth, who opened a miniature Corridor next to his head and looked like he was pressing his ear against it like someone listening to a conversation from behind the door, only for it to suddenly expand and produce Tocsax.

"I'll uh... take that as a "yes" on the whole "let's get outta here" thing." said Seth, his grin widening a bit as he took the liberty of opening a new Corridor to take them back shipside. Before going through, Seth heard Drake's suggestion about the fly thing and so he quietly plucked it from his ear and sent it back to its owner. After that, well, it was back to the ship for everyone.

Manisa League ~ One Week Later

The past week for the Nobody was surprisingly quiet for him. He got his coat back that he loaned to Drake and donned it once more. He seemed to keep a low profile, minimizing the use of his powers and - even more surprising - the amount of pranks he pulled this week. After all that exertion back in Moscow, Seth had a feeling in his gut it might have attracted unwanted attention from people who may or may not have a bone to pick with him.

He listened to the rather confusing explanation of their next destination. A world where aliens turned human girls into Magical Girls that eventually degraded into evil witches? Yep, definitely a new one on him. Seth had to been several iterations of Earth and he was pretty sure none of them involved aliens and witches... at least that he was aware of anyway. Speaking of aliens, it sounded like they were the source of all the trouble, and when the explanation was done he decided to make an "innocent" suggestion.

"Uh, question." Seth piped up, raising his hand, "These Incubator guys... sounds like they're the source of the trouble. Can't we just eliminate them?" he asked, keeping an innocent grin, "No more Incubators, no more Magical Girls, and no more Witches." he scratched his head, making sure he had that logic straight, "Between the fleet and the Nobodies Tocsax and I control... surely we can take them on, yeah?" then he just... shrugged. Still doing the "clueless" routine it seemed, even though it was pretty apparent by this point that the Nobody was anything but that.

"Oh, right... you guys should know that I... may have overdone it a bit back in Moscow. May wanna keep our eyes peeled for anyone whose attention I might have accidentally attracted. Heh... whoops."
@Burning Kitty One major correction your post needs: Theran stabbed with the spear, he didn't throw it. So that whole bit about catching it midair? Not possible. Unless you want to suggest he forcibly ripped it from Theran's grip, but I don't think that one would fly either. Your android has super strength but so does Theran, so simply tearing a weapon out of his grasp probably isn't happening anytime soon. So yeah, Theran fully instigated combat by trying to manually run the android through with his spear. Simply "snatching the spear" just isn't possible I'm afraid.
