"Hey," April objected, dropping the tiny remote onto Meowrin's lap and hoping that she didn't lose it, "How am I meant to know before it became obvious? This could be a cheap bootleg."
And then the llama section showed up. Her eyes.
"Don't make me start a pillow fight," Rain glowered, sinking down with Anno and continuing to cling to her for safety.

Grey
Taking advantage of people poking fun at the Rainno ship, the grinning magus grabbed a nearby pillow and threw it at the pair. She had always wanted to start a pillow fight, and Rain's suggestion kinda had a "right" feel to it. After all, what was a sleepover without one?
Emizel
"Well, you're kinda in my library. And I'm not a plebian." Frowning at the rather annoying girl, the hooded boy settled down onto an easy chair. "As for business, no. Though if you're going to be this rude, I'll have to throw you out of here." Considering the fact most demons resorted to violence for their main method of problem solving, this spoke volumes on the Emizel's intelligence. That and his straightman tendencies. "And I look like what type?"

Daishuryou turned around, mildly surprised to see an incoming call from Elpizo. Once he accepted it, he simply nodded, and the reploid would notice that his tone was more... calm. "Yes, Elpizo. Thank you for contacting me. From what I can remember, the Master is now in Gotham City, trying to find Greed, and I predict that the Brotherhood will try to stop him. So, if you desire to make me proud, go after them, and make sure I don't see their meddling faces ever agian.
-----------------------------------
"... Mistress!" Mischief said, bowing to Etna. "... for the record, I don't like calling you that. Too formal. And to answer your question, yes... yes we are. Thank you for the gift you gave to Anny. We'll make good use of it."
------------------------------------
"Yes, Stabby." Toph said, nudging John with her shoulder, grinning. "Family time fighting the mean ol' Scarecrow and the really terrifying Joker!"
As Toph burst out laughing, Alicia stopped caressing August's hair and leaned forward, squinting her eyes. "Guys. You might want to get a good look at that."
Apparently, the ship was hovering on top of Gotham's most important areas, because the city's main bank was located nearby. And the reason for Alicia's comment could soon be spotted: a car chase happening right in the middle of the street. Four police cars were chasing a van that was literally leaking money, and from the top of the van, one could see a short man with a top hat pointing an umbrella at the cop cars.
"Penguin!" yelled a voice, and its owner was also soon revealed: it was Commissioner Gordon, poking his head out of one of the car's windows, holding a megaphone in front of his mouth. "Drop the umbrella and stop the car!"
"Oh, dear Commissioner, we all know that won't happen!" the Penguin answered, cocking his umbrella. "Now, please, would you kindly cease your foolish chase?" he said, grinning, and pressed a button under the umbrella, which turned into a machine gun and began to shoot at the police cars.
"That sounds really exciting." Toph said dryly.
"John, land this thing. We need to get out there and help those people."
---------------------------------
The soldier scratched his head, and furrowed his brow, not believing Magi's story. "Tourists? But--"
He was interrupted as two hands were placed on the traveler's shoulders (one in Magi's left shoulder, and the other one in Kalloon's right shoulder). A young, tall man with blonde hair and a cigarette on his mouth. He was also wearing the Amestrian military uniform, although there was no beret in his head. "Good job, Dano! You found the two kids I was looking for?"
"... S-Second Lieutenant Havoc!" the soldier shook his head and saluted the man. "I'm s-sorry, I didn't know you were looking for t--"
"That's alright, Dano. Their father is waiting for them in HQ." Havoc replied, waving his hand. "You can go back to your post, right? Don't want the Fuhrer to know you're not doing your job, do you?"
"What?! O-of course not! Yes, sir, thank you, sir!" Dano replied, giving Havoc a short nod and running off.
Havoc simply shook his head, and looked down at the two travelers. "You guys don't need to tell me some fake story, by the way. I have a pretty good idea of who you two are." he said as he proceeded to walk forward. Without taking his eyes off the road, he motioned for them to follow.
------------------------------------
Roy shook his head, scratching his eyes. "Not much better. Daishuryou's planning to complete Father's plan. In other words, he's going to turn the entire population of Amestris into one big philosopher's stone."
He sighed, and leaned his head against the wall. "Listen, I'm going there right now. Do me a favor. Go check on things. Please, try to find my squad... and try to find Edward and Alphonse Elric. Daishuryou will try to go after them. Please. Just make sure they're safe."

John nodded and set the ship to land as he slotted in medals. "TRANSFORM!"
Shachi! Unagi! Cheetah!
John clashed the gauntlets together and ran at super-speed after the escaping truck, knocking on the side as he caught up.
"Oh, hey, you're... um... Sir Topham Hat, right?"
"Ooooh, we certainly will..." Anny said, licking her lips and looking at Mischief.

Magi wasn't sure if he felt relived or worried that this stranger rescued them. But since he seemed to know more than Magi did, he didn't have much of a choice but to follow him.
"Thank you, sir...I am supposed to call you that, right? Judging by how the other guy called you lieutenant. One way or the other, would you mind telling us what's happening and where we are? Why does everything look like it's out of 1920's England? And who were you referring to when you said Fuehrer?" He awkwardly glanced at Kalloon, somewhat confused. "...And were you serious when you said 'our father'? I'm pretty sure we're not siblings, unless there's another thing my parents have been keeping from me."

August bolted awake at the sounds of shouting and gunfire, obviously scared for a as he tried to figure out what was going on. He reflexively tried to push the bullets away from himself and wound up causing them to veer away from the police cars mid-flight, but he was still panicking.
"Wh-what's going on?! Who's shooting?!" He noticed he was still with Alicia and calmed down noticeably and started doing his best to deflect further shots away from people, pale from the effort but trying his best to help John and keep him and the people around safe.

"Interesting..." Falkon said, before circling the armor, checking it out, "You really made this for me? That's awesome!"
"...But how do I put it on?"
When the ship landed, Mary tapped the wall. "It's a shame I don't have Masky anymore, I could dodge stuff like bullets no problem when I had it..." she said, "...I wonder if earth armor can deal with bullets?"

Oleg
The sorcerer replied while configuring something in the book.
"Yes, I know that plan. I will head there right away and see what I can do. Keep yourself safe too, you're one of the sacrifices he needs."
After listening to Roy's reply, he turned to Murray.
"Shocker's next plan is to absorb a whole country as fuel for power. Let's go."
He stretched his hand forward and declared: "Dimension Door."
A glittering circle formed in the air and the mage gestured for Murray to step through first.
Etna
"Good," she said, petting Anny. "I'm just checking on you two, dear pets."
""Mistress" is simply a default," she continued, turning to the homunculus. "I allow variations as long as they are good enough."
And the pie finally caught her interest.
"Your work, Anny? Smells good... For mortal ingredients. Go ahead and serve it before it gets cold. And if it is as good as it smells, I have an interesting task for you," she said, winking at the end.

"Awright then! Let's wreck some fuckers!" Murray slammed his fists together and ran through.
Anny, meanwhile, got some potholders and removed the two from the oven, placing the cake and pie on the counter and reaching for a knife to cut them. She set out a slice of each for Etna first, then Mischief with a kiss on the Homunculus's cheek, and finally one for herself.
"Please help yourself, Mistress."

Elpizo, Dai-Shocker HQ
Elpizo felt a small measure of relief at Daishuryou's seeming calm, even if it was unusual. It would make everything so much easier. Giving his master a flamboyant bow that probably wasn't very visible, if it showed up at all, Elpizo said, "Of course, sir. I will get on it as soon as possible."
Terminating the link, Elpizo decided to pass the time until Etna finished whatever she was doing by doing more shuffling and streamlining of the computer systems. These days there wasn't as much to optimise, but even if it was unnecessary it was a fine time waster - and a practical one to boot.

Joe Darkthorne, Gotham
Joe eyed the scene below, "The penguin has class, at least. I mean, the guy has a top hat and monocle."
The X-Com styled Lantern flew after, glad to see that August was already helping ensure the police were not filled with holes. Still, helping the nice kid out wasn't a bad idea either. So a simple green floating barrier was put between the Penguin and the Cops.
Not like Gotham's finest were going to shoot the Penguin in the head, so he doubted this would hinder the cops all that much.

Taking a bite of his sandwich, Tachi considered the idea. Exploring a spaceship definitely sounded awesome and it'd probably be good for taking his mind off of things. "Sure, that sounds great," he replied with a smile.
...Wait, what did Jolokia just call him..?
"Um, ehehe...d-did you just call me "miss"?" he asked, a little confused. Sure, he was currently stuck wearing an Utsuho costume, but he didn't look that girly, did he?

The Dimension Door took Murray and Oleg to an alley in Amestris, one quite near Havoc and the two new travelers. However, he didn't seem to notice, as he walked past the alley.
"To be frank, I have no idea if you guys are siblings. And I have no idea what this England place is." Havoc said, shrugging. "I don't really know how to explain this, so I'll just tell you what Hawkeye told me: you guys aren't from here, but not here as in Amestris, here as in this planet- we can deduce that from your clothes and the accent- and that you guys have information on what happened with the... homunculi, I think that was their name, and their leader. So, come on. The others will want to meet you."
The question of "who is the Fuhrer" was answered by a poster on a wall near them that displayed the picture of a blonde woman with a proud expression and a sword in her hands, with the saying "Help me take Amestris into the future! Join the military today!" written under her.
----------------------------------
"A... task?" Mischief asked, taking a bite out of the cake. "What kind of task?"
---------------------------------
Ty Lee opened her mouth, but soon closed it, tapping the screwdriver against her chin. She then walked up to the armor and removed the helmet, placing it on Falkon's head. "Just put on one part after the other. Boots, legs, chest, arms, helmet! It's simple!"
---------------------------------
Alicia glared at the chase, placing August in the ground and standing in front of him. "Toph, Mary, please take care of August. I'll go and--"
She was soon interrupted as Toph sped past her, using the earth to launch herself towards the truck, and for a moment, it looked like she was skating on the earth. This, unfortunately, created quite an obstacle for the police cars, as some of them were forced to stop, and some of them barely dodged the mini mountains Toph's skating created.
"What in the world is this?!" Gordon asked, holding on to his seat as Bullock dodged all the obstacles in front of him.
"I don't know, Commissioner!" Bullock answered, barely dodging a pillar. "You think they're related to the Bat?"
"You think Batman has this kind of power, Detective?" Gordon replied, letting out a sigh of relief as Toph propelled herself towards the truck and landed on top of it with a thump. "Whoever these guys are, the Penguin's going to have a really long night."
A reply to John's question didn't come from the Penguin. Instead, it came from the person riding shotgun, who just happened to be Gotham City's ex-District Attorney, Harvey Dent, now known as Two-Face. "What?! Who?!" he asked as he and the goon driving the car noticed John. "Who is this guy?!"
"I d-don't know, sir!"
"That's a green card for me." Two-Face replied as he pulled out his pistol and proceeded to shoot several times, aiming directly at John's face.
The Penguin soon found himself at a loss for words as a small girl suddenly landed on top of the truck AND a Green Lantern began to provide support for the police. He hadn't faced a Green Lantern personally, but had heard the tales about them from the other rogues. "And just who are you supposed to be, little girl?!" he asked, reloading his machine gun.
"I'm no little girl. I'm the Blind Bandit!" Toph answered with a grin as she punched the truck, opening a hole in it using her metalbending. "Newbie! Take Top Hat Guy!" she yelled as she jumped down into the truck, landing on a pool of money. She soon made her way to the front of the truck, trying to find the wall behind the driver.

John sped in front of the truck and dodged under the bulets.
"Oh, hey. Harvey Dent. Just one second."
John sprayed a torrential burst of water- rather like a fire hose- at Two Face, angling the stream so it would also coat the inside of the windshield and make it more difficult for the getaway driver.
"Love to discuss your re-election plans, but I've got a portly crook to take care of."
SHACHI! PANDA! BATTA!
With that, John leaped to the top of the truck in an attempt to force Penguin into a full nelson.
Murray clanked out of the alleyway and looked around
"...Okay, yeah, I'm lost."

Ice spikes formed onto the ground in an attempt to the cars. Not helping matters was the lights shining on a girl with long pink hair, though smirking like she was in a slasher film and she was the killer.
"Hehe... Come, come to my trap..." She said in an old man's voice. Or rather... an old Pokemon's voice.

"...So it WAS aliens! Yes! I knew they existed!...Um." He clears his throat and looks a bit embarrassed. "Sorry, got a bit carried away. Anyway...Sorry, but I think you have the wrong people. I've never even heard of a...Homun...Hum...Han...Um..."
"...How am I supposed to pronounce that? One way or the other, I don't know what they are, much less who the leader is. So...I can't help you there."
He turned to the poster and looks both impressed and confused at the same time. "Not...Really the kind of image that comes to mind when I hear that word..."

Desco
Flitting off with the others on her heel, the littlest (main character) demon buzzed about the span of the hallway like a hummingbird. At one particular door though, Desco stopped and looked at it. Sounds of humorous yelling echoed from within, which the loli's ears took in. "Desco thinks we should try this out!" Unlocking the door from the outside, the trio would find themselves in a wasteland full of holes, and one peculiar Prinny in the center of the room. "Zettai Prinny Project..."

"Oooh." Falkon said, before laughing. "That makes sense."
He then began the troublesome task of putting on the armor, by pulling the pieces off the mannequin.
"You want me to take care of Kid?" Mary asked, "...Well, I guess that's the sorta thing a boring person would do! Go ahead and do whatever you were going to do!"

August leaned against Mary's leg somewhat awkwardly, tired from the effort of deflecting the bullets and also not entirely sure how to act around the person who was technically his mother.
"So....umm....you're gonna have another baby. Is that why you have to be boring now?"

"Wait a second." Havoc said, turning around and glancing at the two travelers in front of him. "Aren't you two with that group of people that appeared here a couple of months ago? The ones who were with that weird Xingese kid?... that I still think isn't Xingese?..."
He leaned forward, scratching his chin. "... where are you two from, exactly?"

"No..." Mary said, "...It's because of a stupid jerkface that thinks he's a god and thinks I'm entertainment."
She paused, before saying "So, why do you think I'm you mother, Kid? Didn't you have one when you were Cane?"

August looked down at the ground for a moment, considering.
"Well...I'm not him, that Cane guy. I don't really have his memories or anythin' like that n' my soul is even different. I don' remember who his family was n' even if I did they prolly wouldn't recognize me or want me back..."
He scuffed his foot against the ground, but then looked up at Mary, smiling.
"But you made me, my body n' my soul and all, with Masky. I'm a kid you shaped n' made just like the one in your tummy, even if I'm made from magic. So...you're prolly the closest thing I have to a mom, okay?"

"The Blind Bandit is stopping Bank Robbers. Makes sense..." Oh god, Toph is going to take piles of it for herself isn't she...
Joe was less than inclined to shoot at Mr. Cobblepot while John attempted to WRESTLE CRIME INTO SUBMISSION just yet. So he just uses Stock Lantern Power, Big Hand in an attempt to carefully lift the spinning wheels end of the getaway van and coast it to a stop. Instead of a ridiculous high impact crunch.
Joe can do subtle when he feels like it. If the penguin lost his hat in the scuffle, Joe would make a note to catch it.

"Woah!" Commissioner Gordon yelled once he spotted the ice spikes. "Stop the car, Bullock! Stop it now!"
As the police cars came to a halt, Two-Face attempted to shoot at John, but missed him as he went after the Penguin. The getaway driver began to complain about the water in the windshield, which prompted Two-Face to kick open his door and jump out of the the truck, trying to run away into an alley.
The getaway driver didn't have much time to complain, as a hole opened up on the metal wall behind him that divided the back and the front of the truck. "The hell?!" was all he said, as Joe's big hand was forcing the car to stop. He peeked through the hole, and Toph, who was on the other side of the wall, punched him right in the face, knocking him out with one single blow.
The Penguin turned around upon hearing Two-Face's failed attempts at shooting John, which allowed him to see the Kamen Rider trying to force him into a full nelson. "Not now, you fool!" he said, aiming his umbrella gun at John. But before he could shoot his enemy, Joe's big hand lifting the back of the truck caused him to lose his balance and fall towards John, screaming for help.
However, the Penguin stopped falling as a grappling hook attached itself to his clothes. With a metallic clank, the grappling hook began to retract, bringing the Penguin with it, and dragging him across the road towards the one holding the grappling hook: the Batman himself, who was standing on top of a nearby lamppost. He quickly tied the cable to the lamppost (leaving the Penguin hanging in mid-air) and glided towards the truck, landing on top of it without making any sound at all. "Who exactly are you people, and why does that kid have the power of a Green Lantern?" he asked, pointing at Joe with his thumb.
----------------------------
"See?" Ty Lee asked, clapping her hands excitedly. "It fits perfectly!"
With a crackle, Roy's voice echoed through the ship, thanks to its intercom. "Everyone that's going with me to Amestris, please move to the Bridge. We'll depart in five minutes."
-----------------------------
"United States?" Havoc asked, and it was clear that Magi's answer disappointed him. "Great. So we're back to square one."

"We could ask you the same thing, you overgrown Golbat!" Mia said, stepping over the Ice Spikes as they remained frozen.
Linkara walked to Roy, still limping from his wounds.
"Roy... If you could teleport me to Gotham, I'd appreciate it." Linkara said.
Meanwhile, Nicholas was preparing to go with the others to Amestris, with Homura waiting outside for him.

"England... Homunculi... Aliens..." Bits of conversation have reached the ears of the freshly arrived wizard and sparked his interest. Hurrying to the group, he de-transformed, armour vanishing in favour of a more mundane, though still rather extravagant, outfit.21-century clothes, was he analysing on the go, speaking of US and aliens... Definitely from Earth. Damn. Right into the upcoming warzone..."Excuse me," he said, stopping near the group. "I think I may have the answers all three of you seek." "Such as where you are and what happened..." he waved a hand in the direction of two newcomers. "And about the homunculi and their Father," he waved to Havok with the other arm. |

She looked down at August. "Y'know, my fo-"
She stopped, distracted by the massive amount if damage being done to the van, and the frown that had been on her face changed into a small smile.
"Yeah!" Falkon said, "Thanks for this!"

Flanker, Ha'tak
Flanker complied with the order, ambling toward the bridge. A niggling voice in his head wondered how he would be remembered. Would it be as a hero? A hanger-on? A sanctimonious thug? He realised that recently he had been thinking far too much about failure and death, but they were not thoughts he could dispel easily, a fact not helped by his fear of his own mortality.
The thought was kind of amusing: a mighty adventurer who had swept all before him who could not confront the reality of death. It would probably take more than a pep-talk to get over that little speedbump. He wondered if, perhaps, going on a journey of self-discovery would help. It almost seemed too self-indulgent to think about, but if it helped others then surely it would help him too.
Entering the bridge, Flanker saluted. "Flanker reporting for duty, sir." He paused awkwardly as he saw Linkara talking to Roy. "Er... do you need a moment?"
