SNAP![/i][/u] The spine broke, crippling the zombie and stopping him from attacking. Yuna saw the zombie, and then took out a sphere. As she used it, her clothes changed once again, though this time to that akin to a shrine maiden with another staff.
"Baijiu, this zombie's spirit has suffered enough. Allow me to send him to the afterlife." Yuna said.

"One second," the martial artist said, intentionally failing an attempt to activate Kamikaze. The result was a scintillating explosion of ki that not only shredded her skin but her clothing, too, and made things extremely pleasant to look at if you could stand the brightness of the light. As for the zombie? It got to suffer through the full force of the blast; a power diametrically opposed to its own undeath.
And, for the first time in this entire dungeon, the martial artist was forced to relinquish her hold on the corpse and collapse backwards onto her rear to give herself time to heal. Her muscles were torn beyond the point they even worked, right now.

The zombie flew off back into its coffin from the explosion. Yuna then went to the zombie and held out her staff. She then began to preform a sort of dance, a ritual back in her world used to send the spirits of the dead to their afterlife. The dance was around two minutes long as any fire remaining in the room turned blue. Soon, a small ethereal ball emerged from the zombie and flew off. Once it was gone, she stopped her dance. "There... It is done." She said.

"Time consuming," Baijiu decided, climbing back to her feet now that the external wounds were visibly closing. Her attire had already restored itself to its normal undamaged but sweaty state. Not that she could have done it any faster in this state... but she knew of many faster ways to destroy the undead. Admittedly, her abilities involved pumping compressed lifeforce into things, which made it much easier, but...
"Do you see anything deadly?"

"All I saw was you going up into a flash of light. I'd ask if you were okay, but from the looks of it, you're better than normal." Yuna said.

"Nothing in this world or any other can kill me," Baijiu boasted, only her expression indicating how much this fact annoyed her, "I meant traps or weapons."

Yuna looked around. "Not from what I could see." Yuna said. Without the zombie, the treasure was theirs for the taking.

Baijiu's shoulders slumped and the martial artist collapsed into a golden throne inconspicuously wedged between the coffin and a pile of coinage. How she knew it was there was a mystery. "Take what you want; I have no need for wealth."

"Actually, I'm here for something else. There's a strong force here, and I'm trying to find it..." Yuna said. She then noticed something. She pulled out her GPS and scanned the charred corpse's mask. There was a high ping. Whatever it was, the mask had a very high energy rating. "Found it." Yuna said as she pulled the mask off the corpse, only for it to fall apart into ashes. "Or not..." She said.

"Hmm? Is there nothing else of power here?" Baijiu asked, sounding distinctly bored. She knew of at least one thing with an utterly inhuman amount of power within--her own body, but she rather doubted that that would register.

Yuna noticed the power meter drop. "Yeah. Nothing else is here. Shame. I would have done anything for a sphere..." Yuna said. She then noticed a light near the tomb. As she got there, she noticed that the light was really a hall leading to the exit. "Huh. Well that was easy to find the exit..." Yuna said.

Baijiu rose up behind her, stretching a little and cocking her head. Not waiting to check if the way was safe, she once again brushed past the other female and made her way out. Any traps? She'd just force her way through them. This place was a waste of time.

No traps for Baijiu, just a horde of spiders that made a nest at the exit.

Yuna followed Baijiu out into the exit. Finally, they were able to enjoy the fresh, yet frigid cold air, of the outside once again. Yuna inhaled and exhaled. "That... That was actually pretty fun. I hadn't had this much fun since I was with Tidus..." Yuna said. She then turned to Baijiu. "Thank you... For this adventure." She said, smiling at her.

"Thank you for keeping that corpse down," Baijiu said, smirking at something, "I know just how annoying it can be when something doesn't die."
And then... she jumped off a cliff, plummeting to hell knows where.

Yuna saw Baijiu jump off the cliff. At first, she was worried, but realizing that she's been through worse, she felt a little better, warmly smiling and hoping she'd run into her again. "YUNNY!" Yuna then heard the familiar surfer accented voice. Yuna turned around to see Shane, who was now out of breath. "You're late." Yuna sheepishly said. "Yeah... I was held back a bit... So, did you get that object that was giving off a reading?" Shane asked. "... No. I did find someone pretty cool though." Yuna said as she looked at the cliff. " Someday, Baijiu, we'll meet again..." THE END

"Hey, don't worry about it!" Horatio said, "With this GPS, we can cover the world in a couple years! Unless it's really big, then it might take four."

"Four? That seems like a lo-"
She didn't get to finish her sentence. Like a sweeping wind, a wall of gray light whipped past Horatio - and then there was nothing there at all. Nothing to indicate that a little girl had ever been there, or that she would have had any reason to be...
The mystery was left hanging in the air.
The End... for now?

Round Two - Azula and Moerin
To say Azula walked through the halls of the Fire Nation Palace would be a really huge understatement. Right now, Azula was stomping through the halls, hands clenched into fists and a look of pure rage on her face. "How dare she even step in the same land as my daughter?!" She yelled to himself as she entered the gardens, pushing aside guards and wide-eyed servants.
They were all collecting around what looked like a small costume mascot- something that the people of the Fire Nation had never seen- but what angered Azula was the description of the person that came out of said costume mascot. The mascot was actually a mecha, and the person who was inside it was the number one on Azula's personal enemies list. The one that years ago had attempted to... harass her beautiful daughter Fate. The one who she swore she would fry on the spot if she ever dared to even be on the same room as Fate.
Moerin.
"I told you, you undesirable person, to stay away from her!" She yelled once more, pointing at Moerin and shooing the servants away. The ex-catgirl could practically see the lightning bolts coming out of her eyes, especially because small sparks could be seen coming out of her fists. "Why are you here?!"

Round Two - Azula and MoerinWell, so much for being inconspicuous.To be fair, her thought processes had been somewhat rational when she came up with this idea. She wanted to head to the Fire Kingdom, but the simple fact remained that the only vehicles she could really pilot were mecha, and since the tech level of this world was roughly on par with the industrial revolution... A mobile suit or a personal trooper would've caused too much panic amongst anyone who saw it, and that's not even beginning to get into what would happen if she'd used Kaiser...And then it hit her. A mecha that was small and inconspicuous. One that could easily enter the Fire Kingdom without terrifying any of the inhabitants. One that even if anyone saw, they'd either think it wasn't anything too unusual or would think it's so outrageous that they'd just bow their heads low and pretend it didn't exist. And so, she'd decided to go in the three meter tall teddy bear mecha, Bonta-kun. Seeing the commotion it was causing, though, she quickly realised this wasn't one of her smarter moves. As she saw the person she'd came here to talk to approach, she almost said something, but realised that she'd probably be best getting out of the modified AS before she did so. After all, she'd likely just cause further confusion if the bear started yelling out random strings of "Fumoffu!". "...Ugh, so cramped..." she muttered, stretching her limbs as she exited the small cockpit of the teddy-mecha, only to meet the (almost literally) burning gaze of Azula. "Ah, Lady Azula, um..." Nervously, Moerin fiddled about with her glasses. What could she say? Ugh, if it wasn't for that other her and her stupid uncontrollable libido she wouldn't even have to do this. Well, here goes nothing..."I... Um... I've came to apologise, Lady Azula," she said, bowing her head low. It was somewhat annoying to have to act like this, but she knew that these royal types wouldn't even give you the time of day unless you showed them some respect. "For... For everything the other me has done to you and especially your daughter. I know there's nothing I can do to make up for her behaviour, but... I just wanted to say I'm sorry. Sorry for her actions, and sorry that I can't keep her in line."

Round 2 - Samus & Blight
Samus examined the entrance carefully. There was no door, which was unusual in the extreme for Chozo ruins, but a look around the edges revealed that there had once been a door, though only bits of twisted metal remained. Given the lack of any protective barrier, it was almost certain that wildlife had managed to get in here... which would mean having to fight for the bombs, if they were even here.
Chasing scattered ruins across the universe was surprisingly difficult without attracting Federation attention.
Taking one last look around for any signs of what had smashed the door like that, Samus headed inside. She probably should have taken note of the way all the remaining metal was bent outwards.

Lady? At least she knows her formalities. Azula thought to herself, quietly, as she analysed the situation. The servants and guards didn't really care for what was going on with Moerin, and were instead focused on staring at the mecha with their jaws to the floor. "What do you mean by "other me"?" Azula asked, raising an eyebrow.
She looked at the servants and raised a hand. "If your answer has some sort of... multiversal information, I would prefer if you told it to me in a more... closed location." She said, nodding towards the servants. "I prefer to keep the entire business going on out there a secret, in order to not cause unnecessary panic."

Round 2 - Azula and Moerin (and a bunch of guards)
"Ahah, um... No, no, nothing like that..." Moerin laughed nervously at the assumption of otherworldly doppelgangers. Ah, if only it were that simple... "Although I would prefer it if you called off the guards. Kind of putting me on edge, ahah. Ahem, um... It's more like, um..."
The blonde woman paced back and forth in front of the giant teddy bear, muttering beneath her breath as she tried to figure out how to explain her complicated existence.
"Hmmm, um... See, um... It's like, uh... There's two mes, right? But, um..." She scratched her head, tossing about her already messy hair. "See, I kind of, um... Kind of sort of died about twenty years ago, but due to circumstances, um... Suffice to say sometimes I'm me and sometimes I'm that stupid perverted demon cat. We're... We're the same person, but... We're not. Um... If that even begins to make sense, ahahah..."
By the nervous tone of her voice, and the look on her face, it was clear that Moerin wasn't exactly expecting Azula to believe her. She hoped she would, but... There was a reason she had made sure to stick as close as possible to Bonta-kun, after all.

Round 2: Samus & Blight
As Samus was examining the ruins, Blight was in a small vessel orbiting the world, preparing to investigate those very same ruins. The Brotherhood had been given information about a potential superweapon that was hidden within the ruins, and Blight had been sent to investigate.
Once she had completed preparations, she beamed to the surface.
Standing outside the entrance to the ruins, she eyed the remains of what had once been a door. Whatever the importance of the metal being bent outward was, Blight didn't really know.
Nevertheless, she entered the ruins, a scanner in hand.

Only a little deeper into the ruins, Samus was forced to backtrack by a cave in. Though she hadn't wanted to use what was basically a crumbling pathway something had created through the walls and floors, it appeared to be the only option if she was going to get to the statue in the depths of the ruin. It was only a matter of time before she came into Blight's field of view.

Round 2 - Azula and Moerin
Azula raised her hand, glaring at Moerin. "If there's anything these years as a mother taught me, is that you have to- unfortunately- listen to someone's explanation before making your decision. And as much as I want to shoo you away and tell you to never come back, I know it wouldn't be right."
Moerin could clearly see she was doing this against her will, almost as if she was being fair just to prove a point to an invisible someone that was watching her. She bit her lip, tapped her foot and took a moment to think of a solution. "My guards will take care of your... let's call it an animal." She said, nodding to the guards, who set up a circle around the mecha. "You will follow me into the Palace, where you'll explain your... problem to me in detail."
She began to walk back to the palace, but stopped to turn around to smirk at Moerin. "I have to admit, I'm actually interested in hearing what you have to say. Which surprises even me. Now, come on." She then resumed her walk.

Round Two: Jasmine and Chloe in: Your Dreams One man stood in the room. He was looking over a black spinning top, his own little personal check that he wasn't in a dream. The top falls. Thank God. He took the top and put it away. The man was standing over an unconscious brown-haired woman who was hooked up to a machine. He then notice the door open. A red-haired man with matching red eyes (with a yellow sclera) entered the room. Behind him was a woman, black hair and amber eyes. "Mr. Cobb, has the subject been..." Leo said as he noticed Chloe sleeping. "Good." "Now, Miss Halama, this is your first time dream sharing, especially with this being small scale." Cobb said. Jasmine simply looked at him. "It will be harmless, I know it." Jasmine said. She looked over Chloe. "What do you think she'll create for a world, Dominick?" "I don't know. You just picked out a random person and said 'I want to dream share.' This kind of spontaneous decision is pretty risky. What do you hope to gain from this?" Cobb asked. Jasmine looked back. "A whole new world..." Jasmine said. Her company motto. Dominick sighed and presented Jasmine a chair. She sat on it while Cobb set up a wire that would inject into her veins and give her a dose of a sleeping agent known as Somnacin into her. Soon, Jasmine fell into a deep sleep.

When Jasmine entered Claire's dream, she would find herself outside a row of apartment buildings. Behind her was a large park.
--
Inside the park, Chloe was leaning on the railing of a gate surrounding a small lake, looking at the water.

When Blight saw Samus, she didn't really imagine the person, in full-body power armor walking through ruins that were supposed to contain an ancient superweapon, as anything less then a very dangerous probable-enemy.
Quickly, Blight attempted to get to a good hiding spot, hoping that the bounty hunter hadn't seen her. If she was successful, she would scan Samus in an attempt to identify the suit's armament and defensive capabilities.
In the more likely possibility of being seen... Well, Blight would be ready if the stranger turned out to be hostile.
