It was all starting to seem like a big mistake. Little did Eliezer know what a mess he was getting himself into when he had offered to accommodate the young woman he had only just met the night before. He should have known not to make such a terrible decision, how was he to run an entire kingdom when he was guilty of such incompetence? In light of the attempted assassination that had taken place during the ball, the king and queen had ordered a drastic increase in palace security and restricted the movements of their sons. Eliezer would have liked to comply with the orders, but a promise was a promise, and a prince should never go back on his word either. It was not until the night before that he had started to doubt what truly was right, and it was not a good feeling.

Not long after the servant came to alert him of Raven’s arrival, Mathazar, who was in on the ploy, turned up at his door as well, looking rather concerned. “I cannot help but to find myself accountable, should any harm come to you, Eliezer.”

“Do not feel such a way, for you could not stop me even if you desired to. You should not be held responsible for my actions,” the elder replied, before turning to the servant. “And neither should you.”

At the servant’s nod, the brothers swiftly made their way down the hallway, with Mathazar informing Eliezer about the current situation. “I have set up a distraction to lure the guards at the gate away. They are currently elsewhere, meaning you should be able to pass through without issue. Father and Mother will be attending to their duties until night. This is not like you at all, imagine the hysteria, should they find out that their precious golden boy has gone out to the village with his mysterious dame at such a time!”

Despite the younger’s attempt at lightening the mood, his older brother only addressed him in seriousness as they stopped at the gate. “Unless I do not return by nightfall, they must not know. Do you understand?”

Mathazar nodded. “You have my word, brother.”

A light smile then graced the elder’s lips – a rarity, considering his usual stoic expression. “I simply cannot thank you enough, Mathazar.”

“It is my pleasure to be of assistance to you,” Mathazar responded before quickly pulling his twin into a hug to hide the smirk on his face, the smirk from the expectation that Eliezer was not going to return that night. He then let go of him. “Now go!”

He watched his brother leave through the gate before making his way back into the palace, leaving Raven to finish the job.

The trip to the village area was longer than Eliezer had remembered. He had graced the folk there with his presence several times before and brought them gifts on behalf of the royal family. It was how he had earn their favor. However, he never knew what it was like to live as one of them, and as he and Raven travelled past the simple cottages, he pulled the hat over his eyes, acknowledging that the disguise would also be of use should there be more assassins lurking about the village.

Why would she choose to spend her time with him here? Remembering that she had claimed to be from this area, Eliezer decided that it was time to press her for more information. “Considering how we had only first spoken the night before, Lady Om- Raven, surely you aren’t already planning on bringing me home to meet your family?”
Heyo! How's it going peeps?
Bumpity-bump! How's everyone?
Bump, is this still alive?
Eliezer had expected that his time with Raven would have been the highest point of the evening, which told of how unprepared he was for the sudden alarming shout and the sword which was swung in his direction. He immediately flinched back and prepared for the impact, though, all that happened next was the sound of metal clashing. He opened his eyes to see the very lady who had been on his mind standing between him and his attacker, and when she proceeded to battle the man who had been the first to draw his blade along with two others, Eliezer could only stare in bewilderment at the scene playing out in front of him as his mind simply went blank after attempting to make sense of it all.

He was only in such a state for a few moments, however, for he was soon able to snap back to the current situation. Nothing else mattered at this time, for a scrimmage was taking place right in the ballroom of the palace, and questions could be asked later. After assessing the circumstances, his hand instinctively flew up to the grip of the rapier at his waist, but another hand then clamped down onto his own, preventing him from drawing the sword from its sheath. He glanced up to see that it belonged to his brother.

"Stay out of this, Eliezer, it is your life they are looking to take. Do not put yourself in harm's way, Dainia needs its Crown Prince alive."

Eliezer stared at Mathazar for a moment and then nodded, letting his hand fall to his side. Observing Raven's skills as she took on the three assassins, he now knew that she had been hiding much more than he had suspected. To say that he only grew more curious about her would be an understatement, for if he were to question her he would not even know where to start. The guards outside were alerted by the noise, and arrived to apprehend the assassins just as Raven had defeated them. She then addressed him rather casually after the battle, providing him with a brief explanation and telling him a little more about herself before stepping away 'for a drink'.

She claimed to be from the village... Was that why he found her different from the others? If that even was the reason, he would have never guessed it. Eliezer knew that village women were a practical and reliable lot, but Raven's capabilities were not something one saw everyday, even in the village. While Mathazar left to oversee the issue of the assassins, or so he had claimed, most of the terrified noble guests were promptly escorted out of the palace into their carriages, which also left soon after. As for Eliezer, he found himself gazing at Raven past the few remaining guests as she sipped from her glass in the corner across the room.

The possibility of her being a guard disguised as a fine lady hired by his parents crossed his mind, but it did not make sense after more thought. Why would she then be trying so hard to keep his attention if she had only been hired to look after his safety? Whoever she was, she seemed to want the same as any other woman who had attended tonight, though for what purpose, he still could not tell. Regardless, she had just saved his life, and he decided that he at least owed her a chance. It would also be an opportunity to find out more about her. After making that choice, he made his way to the other side of the room where she was.

"Lady Omrea, allow me to repay you for what you have done for me this evening." He then paused, moving a step closer and taking her hand into his. "I wish to see you again, my lady."
@Metatrooper Yeah go ahead :D

"I seem to have a knack for that," R admitted at Cloud's words as he nodded wearily, before glancing at the busy scientist and muttering. "Not that she's helping."

"The threats that we face are solely due to the actions of the party who created this technology. Again, I apologize if that wasn't clear. It is highly unlikely that they would attempt to recruit honorable people such as your own," he then said to He-Man. "We truly appreciate your consideration of our offer."

As he was speaking, he did not notice a bunch of shadows suddenly appear in the room before vanishing, leaving the two girls that had slipped the agents' minds amidst all the chaos. He spun around to face Raven when he felt her tap and listened to what she had to say. Although relieved that they were both safely back at HQ, he then smacked himself in the head after learning that there had been an attack they had been unaware of due to their own little chaos at the base.

Meanwhile, Lena was still getting over the bewilderment that the older girl's powers had caused her. She did not know of any Seijins who could teleport the way Raven just had. Furthermore, Seijin energy had always manifested as light and never shadows, regardless of the user's alignment. She snapped out of it when Raven gestured to her, prompting her to tell the agent what she had seen.

"There is something being build underground that I fear may put the entire block in danger," she began. "It looked like... a gateway of some kind. I have never seen anything like it before in my life."

Block? That was when R remembered, where Lena had come from, people lived on blocks of solid land which floated in an endless sky. "Alright, thank you, both of you, for your help. I'll be sure to call for an investigation."

Rex was once again confused at why Zack got so flustered over the mention of nanites, and continued talking as the group left the shower area. "In a shower? Why would I- Oh, wait... I actually did have to use my powers when I was in the shower once. We were under attack and these guys just couldn't wait for me to get out to fight me."

At more of Link's advice, J nodded. "You know what, I am so taking tonight off and going out to enjoy myself after dealing with all this. I deserve it, we all do."

She then turned to Zack with a thumbs up. "Awesome! That'll save us some time. It'll be your ride back here no matter where you are."

Upon reaching the lab where she remembered leaving Cloud, she was stunned to see that everyone else who had appeared on her locator had already gathered in the room. "Wow, what a party. How's it going, R?"

Just then, Scarlet looked up from her screen. "Bingo!"

A couple of new emblems materialized on a holographic film beside the monitor. Seeing that, J jerked her thumb at Link. Oh, that reminds me, we need another one back to Hyrule too, but no worries, this lady's in no rush."

"I believe your group has been briefed?"

"Somewhat."

"Wonderful, because we now have to conduct an investigation out in the city. Apparently we missed an alert with everything else going on."

"Oh no! We'll probably get more information back at Main Ops."
@eemmtt Ah, let me see how that can work across the multiverse :D

@Metatrooper If that's how you want to do it, sure.

I see the city being plagued by two different villain armies in the near future. Awesome!

@Burning Kitty I guess we unintentially incorporated some sort of time travel into this lol.
Will be added during RP as Abathur collects more and more biomass, strength of creatures depend on the biomass collected.

So over here this guy can create Zergs out of the biomass found in Cinix? He's accepted either way, just want to confirm.

Also if the villain characters want to teleport hordes of stuff over, you're gonna need help (how, I haven't decided yet).

If there's nothing else, will move this along tomorrow.
Click me and Watch! And the dance is similar in the clip note be sure to watch the whole clip)

Hah! I remember this movie.
