Between the Dreamworlds: Savers of the Apocalypse Chapter 2 - Blight

[Moblin Major General]

The violent reaction of the reuniting of the balls ripped the six of them from their spot on the grass. They landed back in the dark room they were in before. The deity once again greeted them, but was focused mainly on Rufus and... whoever was wielding the katana. "They acknowledge the foreign presence. They know of you. Genji, a blademaster, and Rufus, an alchemist. Something has drawn you both here, just like the others. And speaking of the others, you managed a slight success. What little corruption there was in this universe has been stamped out or swept away. However, the next universe you go to will not be so easy to undo. You must steel yourself now, as it might be too late later. I am granting you new abilities in order to adapt to a far larger amount of universes." The deity made the seven glow brightly. "Here is your new power."

[Snowy_One]

Thyme closed her eyes as she reached out mentally, feeling about the flows of Aether to try and touch into whatever force let her have her powers. Suddenly her eyes opened as she raised her hands up into the air as light flowed forth.

"Cure!" she called out as healing energy shot into Noel's body. "Haha! Yes! Some of my cross-class abilities are back! That's a great thing!" she then gave a small hop as she hummed out a small tune happily. "Da-dadadiddadada-dattada!"

"So, who, exactly are you?" she said as she looked at Genji. "You look like a ninja at least and the weird thingies called you a blademaster so that seems about right."

[A Random Player]

Where are we? How did we get here? Since when was I holding this ball? Who's this guy? And who is this 'they' they just spoke about? Out of all those question Rufus was surprised that the only thing the mage was concerned about is the new guy. Am I the only idiot here?

"Alright, I'm grateful for... whatever you just did, but I don't believe we've met before. I'd introduce myself first but you seem to already know who I am so, who are you?" And while we're on the topic, what is this place?

[eclipse]

"The hell," Fennel muttered, still not accustomed to being shifted in and out. "And who's the new guy?" she muttered under her breath. She riffed through her vials out of habit, before freezing. I did NOT have this much stuff when I first started. At least my knife is back, though it's about as useful for fighting as this packet of hot sauce I seem to have acquired. Out of another pocket, she took out a blank book and a contraption that looked like half of a pen set. She clicked the button at the top, and frowned when the only thing that came out was some sort of nub. She pressed the button a few more times, before gingerly touching the nub. A black spot appeared on her finger, which smeared messily when she tried to rub it. It took several moments before the series of events clicked. She held the device like a pen, and gently dragged it in the book, then smiled as a black line appeared. "What an interesting contraption," she muttered, before retracting the nub and putting both away.

Shepard looked at the lightly armored shinobi. He looked like someone he had crossed paths with before, but not nearly as dangerous or as evil. "Leng..." The name slowly passed his lips, and then he forgot about it. He felt around and saw that he got his Collector Particle Beam from the deity. "This will definitely be useful come time for it's use."

Noel didn't seem to gain any new items, but she did feel inspired to try some new moves out. When Thyme tested cure out on her she smiled again as the healing enegy flowed trough her. "Ahhhh... I don't think any other healing will compare to that. Thanks for that Thyme!"

She saw the new man in armor. He reminded her of the hero Hakumen, but there was too much green on his armor to be "the white void". Noel decided to allow him to speak first, instead playing a few battle scenarios in her head featuring the new attack ideas. Lead off with a kick... follow with and overhead... or let a barrage loose! So many choices...

[Snowy_One]

Thyme gave a small smile before her hands glowed again as she quickly brought her hands about in a full circle before shooting a cure spell at both Shepard and Fennel before laughing happily. "So weak compared to when I'm in my white mage form, but it's healing!"

And thus, they were back to the pocket dimension they first met. And with company, it seems.

But Ricardo was paying little matter to what was around him. Or at least, not until after the entity had finished talking. He was in his suit, surveying all the gathered data.

If only I could send this back to base, he thought.

[eclipse]

Fennel's mind was still on the odd clicky-writing device she'd acquired. What sorcery did it use to produce ink? How long would she have to wait for it to dry? Would it smudge if she so much as thought of a drop of water? Thus, the sudden burst of healing energy caught her off-guard, and she yelped in response. After a quick check to make sure that nothing was missing, she turned to Thyme. "That, uh, reminds me of some of the stuff I used to drink back at home. But without the nasty taste! Thanks?" she said hurriedly.

[KentaEzren]

"Well, yes. I am a ninja... and what might you be?" Genji questioned Thyme and her magic, strangely looking at her. "I don't know how i got here, but I know for a fact that my brother Hanzo is nowhere near... I'll stick around for a while, maybe I can find him somewhere." He sighed as he explained in detail.

[Moblin Major General]

Shepard heard the shinobi talk. It wasn't the first time he had heard a Japanese accent, but he noted it for cultural reference. "Take time to rest. Chances are, you're probably dead, or were going to die.Do you remember what exactly you were doing before you got here?" Shepard felt slightly unnerved that he couldn't see the ninja's face.

[KentaEzren]

"I was fighting some strange enemies attacking a town in Israel. I was in search of Hanzo while defeating them, but I remember getting attacked by a shadow, and now I'm here. How did you get here?" Genji explained. He seemed confused in what was going on. "If this some prankster's joke, I will find this bad joker and kill him." Genji pulled out his sword and kept it to his side.

[Moblin Major General]

Shepard thought it strange. An Extranet scan turned up the name Overwatch upon scanning the ninja, who was named Genji. None of the other heroes in Overwatch had any ability like what Genji described. Genji's arrival here wasn't like any of ours. I hope this thing decides to tell us what the fuck is going on here.

The deity looked at Genji and spoke. "They see that your arrival, though destined, lacked the natural order of things. For that, they ask forgiveness, Genji. Rufus, I thank you a great deal for assisting them while in your universe, and as such, I grant you a place in this group. And Shepard, you would do well to trust your instincts, but not at the expense of diplomacy." Shepard wanted to ignore what the deity said about his initial snafu with Rufus that started the mess in the first place, but knew that his sense of justice easily could've gotten the better of him had he not held a technological advantage over the bandits.

[eclipse]

What's an Israel? Still, the weird guy whose name was apparently Genji wasn't talking to her, so Fennel simply sat back and watched the exchange. I swear if Shepard gets us into yet another fight. . .

[Snowy_One]

"My name is Thyme." said Thyme in response to Genji's question. "And I am the Warrior of Light, chosen of Hydaelyn, and champion of Eorzea. I am a Black Mage by talent but am so much more than meets the eye. Within my capabilities are Warrior, Paladin, Monk, Dragoon, Bard, White Mage, Summoner, Scholar, Ninja, Dark Knight, Astrologian, Machinist, Carpenter, Blacksmith, Armorer, Goldsmith, Leatherworker, Weaver, Alchemist, Culinarian, Botanist, Fisher, AND miner!" she said before stopping to take a deep breath of fresh air.

"By the Crystal's Light that's a mouthful! Anyways, more to the point, while it seems I came into this weird place with my gems intact letting me change my classes, I did not come with my armor intact so... Yea. I was a Black Mage first and am most comfortable with it and will be sticking to it as much as possible until I return to Erozea or at least get some decent gear for one of those other classes."

[PeaceRibbon]

Noel was surprised that the voices were actually critiquing Shepard's actions. She knew their guide would help them along, but she didn't expect it to have standards.

She then looked at their newcomer Genji and asked, "So you're a ninja? You look pretty different from the ninjas I'm used to. Less noisy as well." She smiled and said, "Well, whatever kind of person you are, I-I hope we get along until we solve... uh, what we're here for! My name is Noel Vermilion." She suddenly appreciated how simple that introduction was.

The deity again focused on Rufus. "They acknowledge your confusion. Normally, one must dead or near to dying in order to approach them, but you have somehow avoided your death to be transported here. Unless you have transcended both physical plains at once, which is an assumption they must make. Any further questions can be brought before them, just as I answered those before you."

[eclipse]

"I was supposed to die?" Fennel blurted out. "Well, THANKS A BUNCH for telling me how my mantis chase ended," she grumbled. She turned back to the weirdly-dressed newcomer, paying attention to Noel's words. He's a whatsit now? I guess they DO exist in my world, but. . . "Name's Fennel. Never met a ninja before, and you sure as hell don't look like what was described in my books. Still, you've gotta be useful somehow. Or at least more useful than some of the crap I have to carry," she continued, her hands around the hot sauce.

[Snowy_One]

"I... Don't think that's really possible with me." said Thyme, scratching her head a bit confused. "I mean, I was in my home about to feed my chocobo before I got transported here. Had you transported me a second later I would have gotten here with a handful of Gyshal Greens. So unless I was about to slip and break my neck... Oh no! I hope someone is feeding FloofyBirdy!"

[A Random Player]

"I see." Rufus said, more confused than before. Both physical plains? Rufus has read a lot of books and two physical plains is not something he ever read outside of fiction. Then again, it would seem that his world is a lot more primitive than the other's so that should be taken to consideration. The thing doesn't seem much for conversation, so Rufus will have to do some research on his own.

Turning to the silver shinobi, Rufus introduced himself "Genji, right? In case you missed my name before, it's Rufus. It said that I was an alchemist, but I'm more accurately an Alkahest, though saying I am Alchemist isn't necessarily wrong either."

[KentaEzren]

"Okay. Nice to meet you all. Somehow I have a feeling we're about to play a very, very bad game with the one who set this up. I don't want to be the one to risk my chances with some roll of a 6 Sided and numbered cube, because this may be the hardest gamble ever imagined. Not for money or weapons, but our very lives could be at stake." He thought aloud.

[eclipse]

Fennel buried her head in her hands. I'm pretty sure "stupid" wasn't a qualifier on a ninja, but this guy. . .I'll, uh, chalk it up to how things are expressed in other worlds? Gah, why me? "Each and every one of us has something that can dish out serious damage. Those that have that kind of power usually don't carry it around because they feel like it. It means that they face something-or-other that warrants it. In other words, each and every one of us has probably been thrust into situations where the odds of dying are fairly high. So yes, our lives are on the line, and I'd question why we were here if they weren't."

[KentaEzren]

"Honestly... Okay does anyone know where we are going?" Genji asked

[Moblin Major General]

Shepard eyed Genji. "Straight up? We have no idea, but I guess that's part of the fun. Don't think about it too much, or you might go crazy." Shepard wondered why he hadn't lost it himself.

[KentaEzren]

".... Noted. Thanks, uh.... Shepard." Genji sighed a bit.
