Avatar bristled at the casual way the man had referred to his own world's fall into dark times, looking decidedly ticked off. He actually had to take a few deep breaths just so he wouldn't suddenly snap and kill the man.

"My apologies for my world not living up to your expectations," was his growled response as the red eye started to glow rather maliciously, "but I don't exactly have the luxury of fixing all of that myself."

It was one hell of a sore spot for Avatar. Sure, his world was in constant conflict, and he had to fight an uphill battle when it came to managing the evils of the world, but that was the point. Managing. He no longer was able to do that in Teh City. CHoW was a powerhouse these days, professor Spork also decidedly stood against everything Teh City stood for, and it was no longer a fight to manage evil and to keep the influence of the malicious from spreading.

His world had degenerated to just keeping everyone alive at this point. It was no longer about taking the high road.

And compared to the older days when the world still stood straight, Avatar was getting progressively more and more withdrawn into his work, just to stay several steps ahead of the competition. And what a competition! Spork, CHoW, and countless other villains suddenly appearing out of nowhere like so much bad mushrooms, growing in the darkest, dankest spots. With such resources arrayed against him, Avatar was surprised he hadn't flagged quite yet.

Or maybe he was already flagging and hadn't realized it yet.

He feared the day when he would burn out. When is ideas ran out. When his information network failed. And sooner or later, by Murphy's Law, it was bound to happen. And when it did...

He hoped that another OVERRUN didn't happen when it did...

But he couldn't do anything about it now. So he settled for quietly seething and glaring at the host.

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

[Marcus's Bus]

Hiko shot a smile towards Vash, rolling his eyes a bit. Saber sure was acting with authority...

"Well then, perhaps we should move? After all, I... WATCH OUT!"

Hiko suddenly dove to the side, yanking on Vash's sleeve just enough to move the man slightly as something came pummeling to the ground at immensely high speeds from somewhere above them. It approached quickly, and completely out of view of Iron Man's scanners, shielded from detection during its fall.

It was a long pod of some sort. Very thin, but long enough to be as tall as a man, the pod hissed as it was exposed to the relatively cool air, its temperature revealing that it came down from somewhere far above them. The pod hissed for a few more seconds, before splitting into four pieces and falling apart, several mechanical gadgets deploying to reveal some sort of beacon... And a loudspeaker.

A loudspeaker which promptly hissed in static as it activated, and a voice came through over the end.

"Maaaarcus, Marcus, Marcus, my man! Long time no see! Mmm, dear god these muffins are tasty. Hey! Wilhelm! What are these muffins made out of? They're to DIE for! Anyways. Marcuuuus, good old Marcus Kincaid, selling your weapons to random adventurers again? Now, what did I tell you about that little bad habit of yours, hmm? Oh, that's right, I told you NOT to after the last group tried to KILL me. Heh! Can you believe it? Some random idiots thinking they could get anywhere near ME? Wishful thinking on their part, I know, but it's the thought that counts."

The voice that was speaking was jovial, almost happy in its inflection. And it sounded as though he was talking about the weather. All this interspersed with loud chewing as he very audibly devoured something.

"So, since you suddenly decided to pop up here, I decided to dissuade you from ever selling your guns to random, unapproved strangers again. How am I going to do that, you ask? Well, Wilhelm is going to answer that. Wilhelm! Fire the Orbital! And make sure to KILL everyone there this time? I really don't want to go down there and get blood on my shoes AGAIN. Oh, and everybody that's around Marcus right now? Too bad, so sad, your deaths won't be mourned, and I'll piss on your remains sometime next Tuesday. Toodles!"

And with a loud beep, the speaker pointed upwards and shot a beam of light into the sky.

Hiko blinked as the message ended, and took a step back away for it.

"... I take it that something bad is about to happen?"

[Marcus’ Bus]

When the pod hit, Saber immediately went on the defensive. Her armor rematerialized in a second and her invisible sword was in her hand. She glared at the metallic pod as it transformed into a speaker.

Vash was pulled down by Hiko, and he quickly jumped up with a frown. The voice on the speaker was jabbering towards Marcus, and the overweight man had turned quite pale.

Marcus was not happy. He knew that this world would be dangerous, but he hadn’t expected Handsome Jack to appear. This was one very bad situation… but Marcus was not quite as afraid as he would have been back on Pandora.

“… Jack, you’re overlooking one important fact… this isn’t Pandora, and you’re not in charge here. Sorry Jack! I just hope I’m around when your brains get splattered on the floor…”

Marcus stepped into his bus and pressed a button on the dashboard. He looked out at the group as the beam of light shot into the sky.

“The rest of you should probably run.” Marcus said, and he closed the door to the bus…

… and it vanished!


Saber was a bit surprised to see the bus simply vanish out of nowhere, but Vash’s attention was on the sky above.

“… We should get to that cave, now!” Vash commanded. His voice had changed from the normally aloof one, to a voice steeped in authority and concern. “Something big is coming!”

-Marcus's Bus-

Tony frowned, scanning upwards, trying to find where the pod was coming from. He could head into space...but then again, if his armor got damaged too badly, he wouldn't be able to repair it...unless his armory was somewhere in his strange world.

Considering all the other strange things, that might be true.

“Alright, let's go!” Iron Man shouted. He flew forward, grabbing Hiko and Vash, lifting them easily and accelerating towards the cave. Saber had kept up with him earlier when they were heading to the bus, so assumed she (or he, Iron Man wasn't sure about that, but it didn't matter right now), could do the same now.

-Paradise Inn-

“Oh, you think your world is bad?” Jon Doe said, still looking and sounding like Sayuri, “Well then...Ohhh, it seems Hammah finished!...and failed her challenge.”

A snap of fingers, and Hammah appeared with a thud on the ground, soaked and with a fish on her head.

“Sorry kid, but I'll give you a consolation prize,” Jon Doe said, snapping again. Hammah's clothes tried off and changed, shifting to fit her female form now.

“Now then...you think your world is bad? You should see the one where she's...well...he's...in charge,” Jon Doe smirked, pointing towards Hammah, “Ohhh, so very desolate and dark...”

Jimi frowned...he knew what Jon was talking about. Hammah just frowned, wondering why Sayuri was back and talking oddly...

“Now then, do any of you want anything? Oh, heck, let's make this interesting. All participating will have to agree. If you win...you can affect yourself, or someone else who's part of the contest. Say...get rid of a pesky curse. Depower a foe somehow. Get a cool super weapon or vehicle for yourself...Lots of fun!”

“… I’m up for it!” Sama said, shrugging his shoulders. “If it means we can gain an advantage over our foes, we should at least try it. I’ve done this crazy rodeo before, and if this time is anything like that other time, there’s going to be some amazingly strong people.”

Sama shuddered.

[The Cavern]

Saber ran quickly. As a heroic spirit, she could naturally move much faster than an ordinary person – and she had one trick up her sleeves to move incredibly fast if she really needed to; although right now she was doing a fine job of trailing Iron Man.

The entrance of the cavern was just ahead of them, and Saber dashed for it; hopefully they would reach the safety of the cave before the beam of destruction hit!

Hiko took the hint from everyone else and followed. The man in the iron suit was so much faster than he was before, and Saber was keeping up with him pretty well. Hiko, on the other hand, WASN'T a heroic spirit, so he was lagging behind along with Vash. Nonetheless, they were moving quickly enough to just barely avoid whatever was coming and dive into the cave to take cover.

Thankfully, the two got there just in time. Saber and Iron Man were well ahead of Hiko, so they ended up even having a little breather before things went south.

And by gods, did they go south.

What impacted with the ground back in the kill zone was not a beam of any sort. No, it was large, five-foot-wide, twenty-foot-tall cylinder that embedded itself into the ground. Then, a small detonation forced the outer shell of the rod to detach, revealing a glowing core of bright-purple light, which began t turn red with a loud whine... And exploded.

It was like watching a thermonuclear warhead exploding, only without the nasty radiation bit to go along with it. The blast, half-explosion and half-purple shockwave of energy created a hundred-foot-deep crater in the point of impact, and the ground-traveling shockwave leveled almost a mile in diameter of surrounding forest, the cracking energy charge tearing apart anything the shockwave did not atomize. The shockwave reached the cave about ten seconds after Hiko, the last to run inside, dove in to take cover, and the energy wave tore apart the stone surrounding the entrance, causing a massive cave-in that forced Hiko to continue running inwards a little further to avoid being buried under several tonnes of stone.

With a roll away from the last fallen chunk of the cave, Hiko dropped to one knee, breathing deeply and eyes wild. He had NEVER seen such destructive power before. What he had seen when he turned to look outside of the cave... He hoped to never see something like that again. He brought his right hand up to his chest, feeling the echoes and cries of the planet's spirit and the wound inflicted upon its surface.

It was like seeing legends recreated before his eyes. Like fighting Iroshi again...

"... What WAS that?"

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

[Several Miles Away on the Tik-Tok Trail]

The man who was watching this happen through binoculars put a hand up, clenched his hand into a fist and pumped it in victory.

"HAHAHA! Whoooo! That was AWESOME. Did you see that, Wilhelm? It just... Heehee! It just went BOOM, and then left nothing behind! Nothing! It's like a god suddenly visiting their wrath upon this hallowed ground. The god being me, and the ground being what I'm standing on, of course."

"Yes, it is a rather amazing blast, sir."

The man with the binoculars put them away, turning around to look at his mechanized servant, before bursting into giddy giggles again. The other man, an unholy fusion between human and machine, armed to the teeth with enough weapons to take on several gunships all by himself, also turned about to survey the rest of the land. Both were on a high cliff that overlooked the Tik Tok Trail, and had quite a view in all the other directions. It wasn't quite mountains, but it was a high vantage point to observe from nonetheless.

"Well, that was fun. Marcus and those other rats are dead by now, so no need to worry about them anymore. Wilhelm! Find the next group of "contestants" and drop another one of those on them."

Wilhelm shook his head.

"That was an experimental explosive, sir. That was the first and only one we had."

"... Whaaaaat? Seriously? We get something THAT cool, and we only have ONE? That's absolutely inexcusable. Build more of those things."

Wilhelm winced as he answered.

"... We can't, sir. We only brought a small base with us and your orbital control satellite. We have other munitions to fire from orbit, but we do not have the resources to create another Eridium Bomb."

The man with the binoculars, Handsome Jack himself, glared at Wilhelm.

"I wasn't ASKING, Wilhelm. I want more of those made, and I want them made NOW. It's NOT negotiable. Also, where is Angel? Ah, whatever, she'll find her way back to me."

And without any care, Jack brushed by his servant and stalked back into the depths of the woods on the trail, Wilhelm following with a mechanical whirr and loud stomping...

As the explosion rocked the ground outside, Vash could only watch. He felt the incredible amount of energy released and he frowned. Whatever had just tried to kill them… it was incredibly powerful.

“… I have no idea.” Vash responded to Hiko, and once again his voice was dead serious. “… but let’s hope this doesn’t become a pattern.”


Saber too was in awe of what they had escaped. She crossed her arms, and then turned to look at the darkness around them.

“Enough gawking over that. We’re in this cave… if we still intend to try what that Marcus person suggested, then we should get to work. Whatever was outside… we can deal with it when we’re done, or when it comes to follow us. For the time, our minds should be on our quest.”

[Tik Tok Trail]

“So that explosion was your doing.”

A figure slipped out from behind some of the trees along the edge of the Trail, just a few yards away from Handsome Jack and Wilhelm. He was a tall, muscular man in a strange suit, with a cape and a cowl and a scowl on his face.

“You won’t be doing that again.”

Spork frowned. Joining this could be an advantage...but if he lost...

“I'll compete as well,” Spork said, glancing towards Jimi.

“Same here,” Jimi answered.

“Well that's three!” Jon Doe smirked, then turned towards HA, “What about you fuddy dud? Care to join? Get something over the villains here!”

He looked to Aboy and Phazon, “How about you two? Could be loads of fun!”

-The Cavern-

Iron Man had an energy shield around him, to help defend himself and the others as the cavern entrance fell in.

“That was...a lot of energy,” Tony said simply, disengaging the shield and falling down to the ground, turning towards the others. His chest plate lit up, helping give them light.

“We can either try to clear this out, or look for another exit,” he suggested, “I think another exit might be a better bet, because if that guy is waiting for us to come out there...”

Jack stopped as the man in the strange suit came out of nowhere and suddenly spoke with a finality that he seemed to believe fully. Jack, however, couldn't believe what he was hearing. In fact, the man put a pinky in his ear, and tried to clean out whatever gunk was in there before turning to the man.

"... I'm sorry, I'm new here and I seem to have lost something in the translation. Who are you? I could SWEAR you just told me NOT to do something. Heh, that's actually kinda funny, so you know what? I'll be kind. I'll let you rephrase that WITHOUT blowing your brains out your ass."

Wilhelm, however, wasn't nearly as careless as Jack was behaving, and with a whirr of machinery, his started up the various motors and servos that powered his weapons. His boss wasn't a very happy kitty when people tried to stop him, and those that tried to stop him ended up dead without question. So the mechanical man was readying to splatter another rebel all over the walls.

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

[The Cavern]

Hiko sighed, letting his nerves settle after the mad dash for safety.

"Actually, I think that we need to look at this as an opportunity. Whoever it is that did that over there WILL answer for their crimes of destruction, but we have a different opportunity on our hands. This cavern is the one that the man in the steel carriage, Marcus, was speaking of, yes? Why don't we try to find what he was asking us to find, perhaps? We could gain something from it... And maybe find another way out in the process."

While he didn't want to simply ignore what happened outside, there is very little he could do about it now. The man who ordered such destruction didn't even show himself, so Hiko didn't know who to hunt or how to track them down to make them answer for what they did. There was also the chance that if they came back out, they would simply be the target of another... Whatever that explosion was.

Hiko held no delusion about surviving such a blast. He would die, without question.

"I vote for searching further inward."

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

[Paradise Inn]

This was certainly a tempting offer. Not to get anything for himself, but the opportunity to turn Spork into something harmless was making him seriously reconsider his previous deliberation not to participate. But he still didn't trust the man who was offering such a chance. What was his goal? Everyone always had an agenda, and this Jon Doe had one just like everyone else. But what WAS it... Was he using them all to further something? Was he, even now, draining them of strength to use for his own gains?

Avatar doubted THAT, but it was still possible...

Well, best way to find out what really was going on WAS to participate. And that left a sour taste in his mouth. If he anted to find the truth or lie, he had to dive in like some teenager without a thought for his own safety...

"... Fine. I'll join in. But I warn you. You try something funny, and I'll use every resource I have at my disposal to track you down and give pieces of your liver to Shannon."

Batman narrowed his eyes. Handsome Jack was approaching all of this with an extremely casual attitude. He had just fired a weapon that rivaled a nuclear blast, and he acted like it was nothing.

Jack was official on Batman’s sh-t list.

“… No, I’ll give you once to stand down.” Batman growled. “And then this becomes very painful.”

[The Cavern]

Saber nodded to Hiko. “Then let’s search further inward.”

As far as she was concerned that was settled. She headed down into the deep, dank cavern.

The walls were natural stone, and there was very little light. The path they were on immediately split into three directions; one straight ahead and one to either the left or right. In the distance, slight sounds could be heard from each of them. The scurrying of small feet, and the clicking of what could be teeth were both clearly audible.

Jack looked as uncaring as he did before, again putting a pinky in his other ear, cleaning it out, and flicking the finger off to the side.

"Yeeeeah. About that. You're right, actually! This IS about to get painful. For you. Not for me. Just to clarify, since you don't seem to be getting the sort of position you're in."

He smirked, pointing at the man.

"You have that little leotard suit that you stole from your mother's basement, probably left over from her red-light district days, and I have my gun, Wilhelm the Walking Artillery Piece, and an orbital satellite with a bombardment battery. So guess what? Your little guess about pain coming IS right for once! Clap for the bandit!"

He leaned to the side slightly, leaning up against a tree nearby.

"So, you can either surrender quickly, and I will promise that your death will be swift and painless, OR you can TRY to fight, and I will just use your remaining blood to color the red carpet I'll be using tomorrow. Feel free to choose, I have ALL day."

Throughout the entire exchange, his confidence had never flagged. Either he was arrogant, or he knew something else... Or even a bit of both.

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

[The Cavern]

Hiko grinned, following the king at a steady pace. It was dark here, Iron Man's suit being the only light they really had, but Hiko didn't seem to mind the dark too much, his footsteps as sure as they were in daylight.

Once they reached the fork, Hiko paused to look down the three passages, pondering.

"... So, king? Which way will you lead your entourage?"

[Tik Tok Trail]

Batman was not surprised when Jack ignored his demand to surrender. Even having only exchanged a few words with Jack, Batman could tell exactly the type of man he was. For years, Batman had dealt with his type… and they never did things the easy way.

Luckily, Batman was very good at handling things the hard way. He had faced off against super humans, aliens, demons, robots and just about everything in between.

“Bad decision.” Batman said, and then in a flash he threw down several small pellets at his own feet. There was a very bright explosion similar to a flash bang, and then a massive cloud of smoke.

Batman moved quickly, disappearing into the trees. He whipped out his Remote Electrical Charge Gun and quickly fired at Wilhelm, who seemed to be the biggest threat at least going by visuals.

[The Cavern]

Saber looked over to Hiko, and it was hard to tell what sort of expression she wore. Her face was mostly blank, but she seemed slightly annoyed.

“… You are not my subjects or my Knights. I make no claim of leadership here, Hiko. However, if you were to follow me, I would continue on straight ahead.”

As Batman decided to disappear, Jack was exposed to the flash of light, and stumbled back, rubbing at his eyes furiously and trying to find a place to take cover.

"Ach! Eyes! Watch the eyes! Wilhelm, take care of the spandex-wearing freak!"

"Aye, sir!"

Wilhelm, however, was unaffected by Batman's flash bang. In fact, he completely ignored it as the mechanical replacements for his eyes muted the flash and tracked the gadget-using man through the brush and to his position, where Batman promptly pulled a gun and fired...

And the electrical charge impacted with a power shield around Wilhelm, dissipating harmlessly against the force-field around the machine. Wilhelm decided to answer in kind, his guns already revved up and ready to go, and brought up one of the mechanical arms, spraying Batman's location with gatling fire!

Batman quickly jumped further into the line of trees and hit the dirt as the Gatling gun opened fire. Batman was an extremely strong man who could take on almost any foe – but he wasn’t bulletproof. Neither were the trees, and while they provided some cover, Batman only had a few precious seconds to do something before he would have to move again.

Luckily… Batman knew exactly how to stop this.

He quickly pulled out his Disruptor and activated it. Hopefully, it would cause the Gatling gun to immediately stop firing.

“Straight ahead sounds fine to me,” Iron Man said. Apparently the guy who looked a lot like a girl was a King of some kind too. He mentally filed that away for later.

He looked around, shining more like forward and pausing, “Actually, hold on.”

Iron Man stepped forward, holding up his hands. After a moment a pulse shot from them, echoing through the cave!

“Alright it'll be a little rough but this should map at least part of the cave,” Iron Man said, “My suit can read the echoes and figure it out from that...more or less.”

His suit wasn't specifically designed for that, but Tony could program and figure things out on the fly pretty well, and so soon he got a partial map.

“Okay...straight ahead does look fine,” Iron Man said, “Let's press on...”

He headed forward...

-Paradise Inn-

“Something funny? Moi? Of course I'll try something funny! But I won't cheat or anything like that. Where's the fun in that!” Jon Doe laughed, “But I wonder if the others will join...”

Jon Doe smirked looking towards Phazon, Aboy, and Rikku now. Aboy paled a little, finding herself hiding behind Phazon a bit.

“You could get stronger from this yourself...you know...” Jon Doe said. Aboy paused. That was...tempting...If she was stronger, she wouldn't have to worry about going back home...

Wilhelm's gatling gun suddenly let out a loud click as it jammed up, prompting a raised eyebrow from Jack and a surprised back-step from Wilhelm.

Jack was the first to speak though.

"... Wilhelm, you're starting to disappoint me. Really, not taking care of your guns like that..."

"Not possible, sir. I am very thorough in my maintenance."

It was enough to snap Wilhelm out of surprise and back into combat mode. The man's left shoulder-pauldron opened up, revealing several dozen small warheads, two of which shot out of the shoulder cannon at high velocity, homed in on Batman and streaked towards the superhero!

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

[The Cavern]

Hiko sighed, wondering when he is going to stop being surprised by what technology was capable of. Mapping an area without seeing it first. Flight. Such incredible destructive power...

It robbed the world of wonder, of the mystery of life.

For the first time, Hiko wondered if technological advancement was a BAD thing.

"It almost seems like cheating, that ability of yours to see so clearly places that have not been discovered yet. Mind you, I have nothing against playing outside of the constraint of rules and regulations, but have you ever wondered what it would be like without knowing so much?"

He was honestly curious now. How did that man live without the wonder that the world brought?

Now becomes the the past in an instant — and everyone will eventually die! Destiny triumphs over human knowledge and goes mad! That is the way of things! I spit upon this frail, crazed, world! I spit upon the Second Law of Thermodynamics!
~ Desty Nova, Karmatron Theory

Let them Label me! Let them swear and curse at me as I tug humanity like a bucking bull into the darkness of the unknown, revealing its secrets to the sane and driving them MAD! In ages long past, I shall be looked upon as a tyrant and a savior! As a savant and as a fool! My work shall advance humanity long past its time, throw it into the unknown future and force it to grow strong or FALL! Years from now, when I will inevitably be removed, my work shall continue to progress, because these things cannot be denied! Governments will publicly criticize my work, but privately conduct research that advances it! I shall imprint myself into the annals of history, among the stars that shine as brightly as Albert Einstein, Isaac Newton, Benjamin Franklin, Dmitri Mendeleev, Nikola Tesla, and countless others! My work will shine as brightly as any star, and I AM ITS CREATOR!!!
~ Desty Nova, Morality
