JTTM: Beyond Beyond The Impossible (RPG)

[serendipital]

Ed narrowed his eyes. "If Mustang can come on his own, why hasn't he before?" He ignored the last question in favor of getting an answer to his.

[fusionman]

Fusion has been silent in Gotham. He is now near the getaway van still trying to figure out everything. He walks up to Toph and Joe. "He...Hey...I'm Fusion. Can't say I've met either of you two yet...I think. Been hard to put all the faces and names together you know?"

He giggles. "Sorry. Just...shy and nervous and rambling. You guys have got to know those people right? So um...are we with Batman or Scarecrow or...what the hell is going on?"

[Psyga315]

"Hell if I know. But it makes for one exciting game, don't you think, human?" Mia, a young adult with long straightened out hair and grayish blue eyes, said to Fusion, approaching him and smirking. The voice that came out of her was more of an old man's voice, however.

[fusionman]

Fusion pauses at the voice for a second but decides to ignore it for now and ask later.

"If this is a game my lady it's certainly a dangerous one. I'm amazed none of us have had a heart attack yet because cheese and rice on a cracker that was stressful."

He chuckles then suddenly starts singing. "A darker dream that has no ending. It's so unreal...we'll believe that it's truuueee. A dance with death, out of a mystery tale."

He suddenly stops and grins. "Dangerous Game...Jekyll and Hyde...my friends would have gotten a kick out of that one."

I've finally gotten you.

Yes Count?

This is how you deal with your stress and pains and growing madness. Your jokes. Your banality. Your inanity. You try to make yourself a clown in order to have somebody laugh. To see a pretty girl smile. Most men would flirt to get what you want.

Listen Count I'll admit that this may be a way to stay sane but don't you DARE say this is just a way to deal with some perversion or lust of mine. We'll talk once we got a break Count? Got it?

As you wish my Apprentice. Enjoy this power while you can for soon...your training begins.

[stratofarius]

"Noted." Batman said, punching Two-Face in the... well... face, knocking him out. "You people have brought a big problem to this city, and now I need your help in dealing with it. Does your group have a vehicle, Lieutenant?"

"I think we're on this Bat-guy's side." Toph said, lazily pointing at the cop car driving away with Cobblepot. "We did stop Big Hat and Gruffy from escaping with the money, after all, and Mr. Stabby said that Batman is the good guy, so..."

-------------------------------------------

Hawkeye also narrowed her eyes, while Fuery and Falman simply watched the situation from afar. "Havoc. Where did you find these kids?" she asked, the pistol still on her hands, ready to shoot at the travelers.

"They showed up out of nowhere." Havoc said. Upon realizing how dumb that sounded, he shook his head and tried to smile. "But look at their clothes! And their accent! They're certainly not from here or from any place we know!"

"... Brother..." Alphonse said, leaning towards Edward to whisper. "Remember when we saw the Colonel back then? He looked younger... and he also had that accent." He looked up at the travelers and shook his head. "I'm sorry! My name is Alphonse Elric, and this is my brother, Edward. Could you please answer his question? It'll help us a lot."

[fusionman]

Fusion turns to Toph. "Thank you Miss...I never did catch your name actually. Might as well both know who our allies are though right?"

[stratofarius]

Toph didn't turn to face Fusion, and simply smirked, crossing her arm. "Toph Bei Fong, world's greatest earthbender. Although you might want to refer to me as the Blind Bandit, if we're all going to use secret names in this place."

[troydenite]

"They brought a ship."

The sudden, blunt statement came from the unlikeliest of quarters. Stepping out from his previous place at the fringe of the little group (where he had been impassively listening all the while) Knight slowly turned to gaze at the Caped Crusader, having completely ignored the fact that John might want to answer the question directed at him.

A pause, as if he were in contemplation of something.

Then, directing his cold, unfazed attention to the rest of the group, Knight continued on, in a quiet, disinterested voice that would nonetheless prove hard to pass by, given its sheer air of brazen dullness.

"Viktor Novak Brown," he said, raising a single eyebrow as if in silent mockery of their cluelessness. "Previous leader of the Imperium, now known as the Brotherhood. Came from the World of Lilim, had possession of Sakura Haruno's Shard. Called himself an Emperor."

"...I don't know where he is either."

With that, he stepped back and turned his gaze to the air once more, clearly wanting no further part in this conversation. If he had a reason for knowing all this, he definitely didn't look like he was going to give it away.

[serendipital]

Edward nodded slightly. He remembered it, kind of. Though he had assumed it was a dream. He turned his gaze to the new guests, staring at them in a rather unnerving fashion as he took in how weird looking they all were.

[Krautman]

John raised an eyebrow beneath the helmet.

"You want the time-travelling bullet train with a laser or the spaceship?"

---

Murray was tapping his foot impatiently, the display serving as his eyes rapidly changing between different images. His synthetic voice rang out from the speaker beneath his faceplate.

"So yeah, I'm a robot, quit staring, it's rude."

---

Anny stepped through the portal, her hair, wings, tail, and horn already melting and reforming into more manageable shapes for use in the kitchen.

[Laserface]

Fusion had met Joe, Joe was the one who made the rant about lightsabers back at the Saloon. Of course, there was a perfectly legitimate reason for Fusion to not remember Joe as he was in Gotham.

Joe hadn't exactly announced he had Green Lantern Powers to his fellow new guy, and Joe was wearing a face concealing helmet at the moment. He finishes clearing the streets to their, if not pristine, at least Gothom Standard condition.

"I'm more used to stupid crazy over dangerous crazy in my life, Fusion. The transition hasn't been as jarring as expected. But yes, Batman Good, Criminals bad, Toph isn't exaggerating. Though to be fair, Fusion is already working with a stage name, Toph."

[fusionman]

In Fusion's mind, Dooku is suddenly deafened by a loud squeal which Fusion barely restrains.

"Oh my god miss Bei Fong?!" He transitions into a Western bow as he keeps talking "You can call me Nate if you really want to Toph. It's just absolutely awesome to meet you. Seriously it's just..."

He realizes what he's doing and goes into a Eastern bow. "Sorry instict. Anyways it's such an honor to meet you. I'm such a huge fan. Then again how could I not be? I mean it's impossible not to be a fan of the greatest earthbender in the world, the inventor of metalbending, the woman who learned straight from the moles themselves, the Blind Bandit, the Melon Lord...sorry. Just so happy to have met you."

[Addy]

Oleg replied calmly:
"Ed, he was leading us in opposing Dai Shocker, stopping them from devastating several other worlds. He couldn't just let them ravage the universe as they please."
He waved to the diagram country-wide alchemical circle on the wall.
"If you would have learned that the homunculi are trying that in the other nation, would you let them just because it's not yours, even if opposing them means not returning home until they are stopped once and for all?"

---

The two demonesses appeared in a rather big hall, staffed with every imaginable cookware and a gaggle of lesser demons running around. Despite the chaotic atmosphere of the place, everything was squeakily clean and in perfect working order.
"And here we are."

{OOC: timeskip? }

[stratofarius]

"I'll pass." Batman said, typing something on the portable computer in his arm, watching as the police grabbed Two-Face and took him to a police car. "For some reason, the word time travel makes me feel really bad. Grab your spaceship, try to follow me."

Once he finished typing, one could clearly see what he meant by follow me, as the Batwing soon approached the location, and Batman grappled up to it, not saying another word to John.

"He doesn't talk a lot, does he?" Alicia asked, looking up at the Batwing.

-----------------------------------

"Hold on." Toph said, a wide grin on her face. "You're a fan?... I have a fan! Took a while though. Well, now you can tell your friends you had the pleasure of meeting me! So why are you here, Fan?"

--------------------------------------

"A robot?" Fuery said, looking at Murray with an awkward glance. "I thought you were just a kid with a really weird costume. What exactly is a robot?"

Al tilted his head, and raised his hand. "I am sorry, mister... I didn't catch your name... but how do you know so much about Father's plan? You say "he was leading us"... who is us? Who is Dai-Shocker?... How do you know about us?"

"Start talking, kid." Hawkeye said, slowly putting the pistol back in its holster.

[fusionman]

Fusion shrugs. "My friend got me a shard and a lightsaber for a birthday present then I showed up in some Old West Town and now here I am in Gotham helping Batman and a Green Lantern fight crime. I'm still kind of lost on everything and especially on why I'm here."

He laughs at Toph's reaction. "But Toph...you should go to my world. You seriously have so many fans. You are seriously seen as not only really awesome but as one of if not the best of the Avatar's group. Seriously Toph...you're awesome. Really awesome."

[Addy]

"My name is Oleg. Dai Shocker is the name of an organisation which homunculi have joined, and as I said their goal is conquering the universe. "We" are a group of travellers, banded together to try and stop them. On the previous visit to Amestris we have been known as Imperium, but some time after that Roy took over and eventually renamed to Brotherhood."

He paused for a moment, placing a hand on his chin in thought.
"Hmm. How should I say it... I am a seer, of sorts. I saw a path your story could take - I saw it all. From the birth of the first Homunculi that would become Father and Hohenheim's youth, to your tragic transmutation experiment up to your confrontation with Father and his defeat. However, the interference changed it."

He chuckled.
"Before you get any ideas, I don't care for the "proper" course and myself would alter it to be more happy in the end. The change just means that while I know the past, I don't know the future."

[Krautman]

John sighed and called the train, stopping outside the alley for everyone to get aboard. He transformed into a different combo, knowing how taxing Latoratah could be.

---

Murray's eyes shut down as he began tapping his foot again.

"Actually I'm an artificial intelligence with a body made of an alloy of iridium and Damascus Steel as well as the ability to store magical energy in my battery. I was also promised I could crack some villainous skulls."

[megamagikarp]

Magi simply nodded, listening to the conversation going on around him. "So, what you're saying is...I'm effectively in a fictional story and I have some kind of super power now, right? I...See...Um, mind if I ask what you're talking about?"

[stratofarius]

"So, wait a second, Fan." Toph said, raising her hand, and her grin got bigger and bigger. "Are you saying that I have a legion of fans? Are you saying that there's a huge amount of people that like me?... are you saying I have more fans than Twinkletoes? Listen, Fan, we need to get to this world you're talking about, just so I can meet my fans... and then I can yell at them... tell them what to do... oh, this is going to be awesome!"

She slung an arm around Fusion's neck- or at least tried to, considering the height difference- and led him into John's train. "Tell me more about this world and my fans. I want to hear every single detail."

-----------------------------------------------

"And... where are the homunculi now?" Alphonse asked, trying to use a friendly tone.

"Most importantly," Hawkeye said, not even trying to seem friendly. "Where is the Colonel right now?"

Fuery looked at Murray with awe, even if he didn't understand half of the words that the robot had just said. "Interesting. How did you get here?" he asked, slowly removing his headphones.

------------------------------------------------

A binding light filled one of the alleys in Central as Roy's group was beamed down from the Ha'tak into the bustling Central City. Roy looked at his teammates- Falkon, Ty Lee and Flanker. He had a small group, and that's exactly what he needed for this mission. He looked down at his prisoner, Griga. "You three, I need you all to enter Central HQ and find out where Daishuryou is hidden. I would accompany you, but this entire world believes I'm dead, so strolling into HQ is not a good idea. Also, try to find a way to get inside the HQ, so I can escort our prisoner without being seen. I'm going to try to find out more information about Daishuryou's plans with Griga's GPS."

He pointed towards the Zora's GPS, and quickly typed a message to Dr. Maki. "Maki, I am now in Amestris, waiting for more orders. Could you please share more information about our plan to recover Daishuryou's power?"

[Psyga315]

Roy then received a text back.

"From what I understand, Daishuryou wishes to sacrifice around... five or six people. We're trying to find them and round them all up in Central. My memory is fuzzy on the list, but I do recall them all having one thing in common: They all committed human transmutation..."

[troydenite]

Moving with some reluctance, Knight boarded the train, soon assuming his standard 'furthest possible wall away' position without so much as a word to the others.

He would much rather travel by himself, that was certain. Resolving to put up some semblance of aid didn't mean putting himself in the way of potential conversation. Then again... it appeared to be a necessary evil, at least in this case.

Removing the GokaiRed Key from his coat pocket, the RinRinShi flicked up the lid and scrutinized it impassively, feeling every single contour of the thing that had become his life for the past ten years with a strange sense of detached apathy.

It wasn't as if he had anything else to do.

[Laserface]

Joe smiles behind his helmet at the excited earthbender. Still, at least he wouldn't have to be the one to introduce Toph to the concept of Rule 34 regarding her fanbase. Poor Fusion.

The Newb Lantern followed along onto the Time Train. "Astrotrain is still cooler."

[Addy]

Oleg turned to Magi to answer.
"Oh, right, you don't know the story.... Sorry, Magi, but it's kind of long. I'll tell you later, all right?"

He then turned back to the group owning the place.
"And sorry, but it goes for the lot of questions you all undoubtedly have. Homunculi are all together in another land, our comrades are there, hunting them down. Roy... Don't know how close he is. I think I'll call him right now."

The wizard pulled his GPS out of his pocket and begun pressing buttons.
"I'll give it to you once he answers," he said to Hawkeye, having finished with the number and waiting for Roy to pick up.

[serendipital]

Ed snorted. "This is crazy," he muttered. Louder, he addressed the group of strangers. "Why are you three here, anyway?"

[megamagikarp]

Magi sighed at Oleg. "Okay, I'll ask again later..." He turns to Ed, shrugging. "I'm just as confused as you are. This guy, " he pointed to Oleg, "says that I'm here because of this thing resembling a crystal I found this morning that bonked me over the head, but I don't understand how that really worked...I honestly am only here by accident."

[fusionman]

Fusion tries his hardest not to sweat bullets trying his hardest to remember to breathe this time. "Well first off in my world you're an animated form on entertainment. You're basically a bunch of moving, well-drawn pictures in my world. But yeah you've got a huge amount of fans. Comparing you to Aang...maybe you got the top spot? I know Sokka's also pretty high up there. Our world is kind of like yours...except we have no Benders and none of the awesome animals. It's actually kind of boring compared to yours actually which brings me to why we even watch your show. Well one of them. It's an escape. Our world is suffering through many, many problems and seeing a world like yours where sure there are problems but they can be defeated is a way to see our views on our own world and to temporarily escape it by just being entranced by your show. Ah yes..."

Fusion takes a deep breath. "We also...We also all have our personal views on romance in your world and who should have fallen in love with who. I know that at least when it was new there was a small segment of your fans who thought you and Sokka should have fallen in love. I'm sure if I looked, which of course I didn't, I could have found something with you and Twinkletoes falling in love."

He suddenly pauses. Oh hell no am I explaining Rule 34 to a girl who at the most is at her early teens. Partially because I think I'd get arrested for it.

Fusion smiles as he decides to avoid that topic. "So...any other questions?"

[serendipital]

Ed tilted his head slightly, narrowing his eyes further. "Crystal? What did it look like?" Could they possibly have a Philosopher's Stone here?

[Addy]

Yet waiting for the colonel to pick up, Oleg took a moment for a demonstration.

"Yeah, crystals. Like this one," he said, pulling one of the Shards he was safekeeping form his pocket. "I'm guessing you are thinking about Philosopher's Stone? That's not it."

[Falkon]

"Yo, Robotic Voice!" Mary said, sitting down on the ship she had been standing in throughout the battle, "What kinda weapons does this ship have?"

---

"Can they recognize you in Michael's body?" Falkon asked, "I mean, I doubt you look very similar to each other..."

Griga stared at the GPS, his face quite obviously showing his extreme annoyance at the ease of use by the Colonel.

[EldritchMermaid]

Motivated by an urge she couldn't quite understand, Jenny leaned over and snatched up the remote. And then she took a pillow to the face.

"Oh... It.. is... on!"

Throwing the remote aside, she picked up the pillow and threw it back.
