"Hmph... I hope for your own good that this is true," Add grumbled as his Configuration mode wore off, his eyes returning to normal color for now. It seemed that Ika saw Cia out as a fake squid, which was half true as the latter had called herself an "Inkling" instead. None of this seemed to be logical in Add's case, as these species weren't common in Elrios at all, but he let it slide due to the fact that this was some different timeline from a completely unknown dimensional location. Though, as much as he thought of this intruder to be a potential nuisance, which he was already dealing with Ika, he knew that he was going to make acquaintances in this world in order to continue his goal...
"If you're just going to stroll in like that, however, I'll give you two options. One, leave the premises if you're just here because you want to be... or two, you can stick around and assist in our affairs. Simple enough... hm?"
The Esper sat right back down on his seat by the computer console, his Dynamo contraptions levitating around him with an eerie purple glow to them...
Looks like Frisk wasn't along, someone had spotted them as soon as they reached the outside world. Well... it just happened to be chance that this knight would find someone in this unknown world. Sure, this city didn't seem like any place he's been to before, and he's only seen a certain amount of destruction done to the Velder kingdom. Here though, it was so much, he wondered if he and this person were the only ones alive... Elsword continued to press his way towards Frisk.
"Er... I'm not sure if you're in the same book as me, but do you have any idea what's going on? I don't really know why I'm here, but I'm hoping that you know that answer or something."
Before Ika could even get the chance to notify Add about the ruckus outside of their laboratory base, the Esper narrowed his eyes towards another girl that somehow found her way here. Some girl that seemed to share some... traits alike to Ika, squid-like traits to be exact. Not only did this girl stroll in here like she didn't mind the place, Cia happened to dirty the very laboratory that Add had transferred from his timeline to here... with that putrid and slimy ink! Truly truly disgusting! Replusive! Standing up from his seat near the computer console, he made his way over to the Inkling, his stare not seeming to go away. What could you do? He was the representation of a clean freak, despite his insane demeanor.
"Not to bother your apparent... curiosities, child, but do you have any... ANY idea on how the owner of this laboratory feels about this staining substance littering the floors?"
Oh no... Add's Configuration mode was in effect, as one could tell from his eyes changing color. What a way to introduce yourself, Cia.
"Do not strike at this moment. You must scope out your surroundings, keep your moving pace, don't let your opponent see you through..."
Of course I remember this stuff, Bern! I've been trained to do this shit for years now! God!
She would admit, it was tempting to go take an aim at their crucial threat and pull the trigger, but deep down, Lapis knew that she had to follow the advice of the Witch. Silently sheathing her hybrid weapon, Lapis swiftly moving from her initial cover of the building rubble to where she would be behind an unoperational tour bus. Looking up, the bounty hunter took note that there was a single rearview mirror that would project some of the fight from her current location. Again, temptations were slowly eating away at her, but temptation was what almost killed her in the first place back then... Lapis kept a passive stance on the fight, waiting for the perfect moment to strike... She inwardly hoped that the advice she was getting wasn't just a way to screwing over the potential chances of defeating the threat here.
Oh god... Cia might had already gotten herself on Add's bad side. He's a literal clean freak... and she practically shot out ink in what resembles his own lab from his universe.
Lapis took one good look at the group that was willing to take out the threat, judging from the fact that these people would be working alongside her. When was the last time she was working cooperatively with some other person? That she didn't know either. Her memories were jumbled up in some places, one way or the other.
Once she was through the rift, the masked girl immediately took cover behind some rubble before both combatants wouldn't take notice of her presence right away. While some would just charge into the battle and intervene, Lapis wanted to get the element of surprise going here, and hopefully she wasn't spotten in that mere split second there. Not like she could sensed that easily either, because you know, she was technically dead on the physical side. As she hid and waited for the right moment to strike, she reloaded her weapon with the ammunition it needed.
