NPF Avatars 5 - The Universe, Breaking Us Down

[Inbred Chocobo]

IC surveyed the scene for a second. Well, maybe a few more seconds than first originally planned, for he saw a horror that must be corrected. "Arhra, I need to have a word with you." He said to Arhra, the one that was nearest to him. When Arhra turned his attentioned, IC grabbed and threw him at the other Arhra. IC hated clones it ended up, and decided that he had to kill Arhra. Or maybe if they collided they would combine and IC wouldn't have to worry about it.

And the fact that he knew Raiden was behind him, but this one was preoccupied, so he stopped worrying about him for a second.

[Flarecobra]

After being shocked, clubbed in the head, and the teleportion, the redheaded assassin was fairly disorianted. And upon seeing the new people nearby, she decided that descretion and obversation would be best for now, and wait for a moment to strike.

She broke for the shadows, seemingly disappearing into them, as she became enveloped in them. Now hidden, she could now watch them in safety.

"Shields? Yeah. Sheilds for the win," Mauve declared, finally lowering the magical shield. It itself was coated in a thin film of marmalade goo, which dissolved with the magical barrier. Mauve and Armored Bishoujo, however, were spared.

"Did you get that marmalade explosion? Tell me you got the marmalade explosion." Mauve demanded of Ecurt. "That'll send our ratings through the roof."

"I think so," Ecurt said slowly, examining the battered camera. It was looking less and less professional with every battle it survived. Mauve pulled a roll of gaffer's tape out of her pocket and tossed it to Ecurt just as the mounted shotgun microphone was beginning to fall off.

"You need to pay me more for this," Ecurt grumbled as he attempted to tape the mic onto the camera. "Nobody said anything about man-eating fruit preserves and deadly marmalade explosions in the job description."

"It was in the fine print," Mauve replied airily, waving him aside. "Now come on, let's go."

She followed Nikose and the others, giving no further thought to the issue.

[PyrosNine]

Alt-Pyros looked down at the tiny two headed dragon.

"I cannot honestly say if I am either happy for you for having a dragon bonded to you as your guide, or sad that yours happens to be a two headed dragon. Where I come from, two headed dragons are created when an older dragon...never mind."

Pyros sighed and checked the various portals, seeing one where a strange ninja (why he wasn't shocked that it was a male ninja is unknown, as where he came from they all were both female and tended to wear colored kimonos.) hurled a woman at another woman, while a man who looked an awful lot like a certain Genkai attacked him, and a bear in an outlandish outfit swung about the fray.

He could sense that the strange bear, the ninja, and possibly the women were not of his strange amalgamation dimension, and decided that they would be the first that he warned and gathered.

He turned to Phoenixbot. "I shall go and bring others here. This place is the only place so far I have been to, and therefore the only place I am sure is stable, but if that is to change then we can relocate. You may come if you wish, although I do not wish to bring anyone into danger unnecessarily. Furthermore, there seems to be a cat lying wounded under that pile of candy over yonder, who is in need of care."

With that said, Pyros flew off into one of the nearby portals, his bishounen hair shimmering as he did so.

[POS Industries]

"Hey Sokar, lets play a game of dice. If I win you give me your control over the universe. If you win I'll be your slave."

"The gods do not play dice with the universe," Sokar rumbled, head tilting to one side as he remained standing in the middle of the chamber with his arms crossed, "Your mortal games are of no consequence to me."

Meanwhile, at the same place, the rest of the NPFers were making their way on ahead to the rest of the adventure, which in this case would have been the elevator.

"Wait, guys, elevators are the frosty chocolate badness, remember?" Rei called out, running ahead of the group to the threshold of the lift. Reaching into the elevator interior, arcs of electromagnetic energy shot out from her hand, making contact with the walls around it and overloading the machine's circuitry.

"Okeedokee, all fixed!" the android cheered as she stepped into the sufficiently disabled elevator. Gazing at the ceiling for a moment, her artificial gravity activated, albeit weakly after the strain of her previous attack on the jams, levitating her upward. Pushing up against the elevator ceiling, the metal gave way and she punched through, tearing a large hole above her.

Exiting into the elevator shaft, she continued staring skyward, eyes locking onto something in the darkness. Raising a finger in the direction of her target, a thin beam of light burst forth from it, striking something a few meters above.

A moment later, a deactivated chaingun-wielding robotrooper hit the roof of the elevator next to her. Seeing that the trooper wouldn't be needing it anymore, she took the weapon for herself and began rising into the air once more as she called behind her to the others.

"Come on, everyone! Nowhere to go but up!"

[TheBlindMime]

TBMoichi quickly toweled himself off with the toga on the way to the elevator pausing only for a moment to take a few shy steps towards Sithdarth, "Nice try, though it doesn't help I think you would make a great god of death." TBMoichi took a few steps towards the elevator and called back simply, "Someday."

Stretching a bit as he stepped into the elevator he felt the air on his face rising up higher, as well as Rei's call from on high. "Well, only way to go..." With a leap to the left wall, he kicked off to the right wall and then out onto the roof of the elevator... well what remained of it anyways. "I need to fly but which form to choose, I could be a dragon, a bird, a ghost, Nathan Petrelli, Superman, Boo, Mr. Marvel, Ms. Marvel, almost any character from dragonball z..."

After a few more minutes of deliberation he had it, TBM turned into a balloon. A nice big red balloon with a smiling face and a katana at the end of its string.

TBalloonM was on his way.

[Sithdarth]

"Well damn," Sith cursed, "that's another thing Einstein was right about!" At about this time Sith had recovered enough to actually appear solid. Though he still looked little more than a cloud in human shape. While still in a semi-uncomfortable quantum supposed state he had managed to limit his wave function to a frequency and amplitude more akin to normal matter.

"I supposed I shouldn't try to just quantum tunnel my way up there. I have a feeling that would be very bad," Sith contemplated while sitting on thin air. He was floating about three feet off the ground with his legs crossed in front and his elbow resting on his knees. "I really don't want to climb anywhere. If only I could fly or something that'd be great!"

[Astral Harmony]

"Thanks for the magic shield sharin', Mauve-san." Armored said. "Let me know if I can do a favor for you when you need one. I'll owe you one until then."

She entered the disabled elevator and transformed into Bunny Girl Bishoujo, then climbed up onto the roof of the elevator. "Okay, let's see if I can do that Ninja Gaiden shit."
Armored Bishoujo's Bunny Girl cosplay made her into a speedy bundle of fanservice with emphasis on long, powerful, lotion smooth, fishnet stocking-clad legs. "Uppsy daisy 'n' whatever," she said, and begin to kickjump from one side of the elevator shaft to the opposite side, finding places to plant her high heels to give her the next jump point.

"Last one up catches me if I happen to fuck this up and go into freefall!" Armored called down as she jumped farther and farther up the elevator shaft, her bunny ears bobbing up and down.

[Nikose Tyris]

Nikose happily climbed through the hole in the ceiling, and began to dance, tapping his feet swiftly against the the ground, trying to find the rhythm he needed.

When he found it, his feet began to dance higher and higher until he wasn't touching the ground, and then he was dancing through the air, floating up to be just behind Rei.

Sunose had grabbed hold of the Cable in the center of the elevator and was climbing, mumbling about how Nikose was the most annoying son of a bitch ever.

[Fenris]

Fenris wasn't sure that it was the best idea to climb up the center cable, but he had no other choice, not having the ability of flight. Being in a narrow chamber meant he couldn't move a thread and use it for transport, so he sighed and grabbed the cable, muscling his way up, directly behind Sunose.

"Why do I have to be the shadowly incarnation of such a Twit?"

'And how!'

'Not really appropriate, Irium.'
