Kay: *yells* Dont tell them anything Dee!!!

CarlM: What the pain-inflictor said! Keep the trap shut, bro! ROW ROW FIGHT DA POWAH!

EARTH

RockyK: *sits still thinking, then gets up and heads over to the door* These are soundproof walls aren't they? *she begins pacing a bit, thinking crazy thoughts on how to get out* Who'll they come for next? I've never had them taze me... they just hurried me right out of the library, leaving all my stuff there... of course, then I saw them take the laptop and look at it... all my stuff was on there, so I flipped out and tried to take it from them, but that only got me dragged off by two bigger guys, who I never imagined I'd be so easily moved by... I swear, I'll get them for looking through my personal stuff... *stops pacing* For creating characters... this is obsurd... In all my seven years of drawing, I never pictured this to actually happen... I hope Dee's okay... Its been so long since I've seen you Northerners, I worry... *clenches her fists and tenses her muscles*


PLANET TROPIC - BASEMENT OF TROPIC

~As Roqueta began to click, clack and tap rapidly on the keyboards beneath her fingers, she scanned the monitors around her (all 3 of them) for answers on what Decoda's brainwaves actually said about this strange "motivation" in the backs of their heads. After about a half an hour of searching, and another half an hour of repeating this process with Ferina, nothing happened. Frustrated, Roqueta slammed her fist on the table she worked at, and nearly broke it in two. ~

Decoda: *sweatdrop* R-Roq, hey, calm down. Please, you're gonna break the House...

Roqueta: At this point I DON'T CARE. I HAVE to find out what this is!! It- It could be my fault, your fault, my future son's fault, Crackus' fault--

Ferina: Its nobody's fault! Listen, if we don't find out this way, then its not meant to be this way! Why don't we try just launching ourselves through the Teleporter or something? Maybe the T.T. will lead us somewhere!

Roqueta: Going into the Transdimensional Teleporter blinded is really, really stupid. That thing is the most powerful teleporting device on this planet. It can warp through time, space, and even travel through dimensions. I'm just... *sigh* I guess I'm just afraid that we're not going to find out what this is, and I'm going to get blamed for something I didn't even have control over... *slouches*

Decoda: It's okay! We WILL find it. Why don't we just try...ah...oh! Remember what I said about there maybe being parallel Tropic and stuff? Why don't we just type in the coordinates for Earth and see if we can just keep jumping dimensions 'till we find the right one?

Roqueta: ... *sits up in surprise* That... that might actually work...

Ferina: Wow, never thought mister music over here would actually have a brain left...

Decoda: That's because "mister music"'s daddy used to be a scientist. *grins*

Roqueta: *gets out of the chair excitedly* Okay! Let's give it a shot! And I hope for all our sakes that this works!! I honestly can't stand this feeling...

EARTH:

RockyK: *looks over at Geoff, grimly eyeing the blood* Really, I know you're pretty athletic an' all, and you could take a few blows, but don't let them kill you... If you... or if any of us die, our "illegal" characters will too. And I'm pretty sure that everyone here has a persona character, or a character that reflects us greatly. If they do exist, and we die, they'll suffer a similar fate... I'm sure of it... it makes the most sense... I hope Dee doesn't die then...


PLANET TROPIC - BASEMENT OF HOUSE OF TROPIC

~Heading over to the Transdimensional Teleporter, all three of the heroes began to work at starting up the great machine. Ferina clicked on the generators, Decoda plugged up the circuits, and Roqueta began punching in the right codes for the thing to work. She remembered the codes for Earth because she often ventured there to visit an friend of her's named Natsuki, but this time, she'd be going to the "real" Earth. Nervously, she switched the dials on the control box beside the Teleporter until it read: "D.I.M. 4 - UNEXPLORED SECTOR". Currently, they were in "D.I.M. 5 - OFTEN EXPLORED SECTOR", so she chose to go backwards because it would be easier with fewer things to explore for now. Especially since the T.T. required lots of energy to fuel. Taking a deep breath, she pressed "CONFIRM" on the touchscreen monitor, and the Transdimensional Teleporter started to click, whirr, and boot up, illuminating its diamond shaped projector lights as the seconds passed. ~

Decoda: Wow... I never knew it looked so cool...

Ferina: I can't wait to see all the spinning colors.... *grins*

Roqueta: Hang on, you two. This could take a while to load up...

CarlM: *looks around the room and sees a camera. He then sits and broods for about 5 minutes*........Guys, I have an idea, but you will need to follow me on this.

*Earth*

Kay: I dunno...

~Iciaura~

Luna: *she opens the door the the A.I lab and sets to work, rebooting the system. she had brought her first A.I Kori to life, but it was later killed in a raging war against Hyperion and the seven deadly sins. She flipped a switch and activated A.Ice wolf V.2. After a few more switches and buttons, she brings Runea, a pale green and blue wolf to life.*

Geoff: hey the moment they touched my iPod. It was on like the original game featuring a very familiar plumber who is currently one of te most well known videogame icons of all time. Guess there not as smart as we think though, since they had no idea I took karate for 11 years. *rubs his head and covers his hand in blood* Hmm.

Space.
Genesis: it has to be getting late though. Hey Em. What time is it?
Em: uh. *looks at her watch* huh?

(sorry was at work)

~EARTH~

"Tell us everything about those creatures you and the others made."

Dee winced as blinding light pierced his eyes, his tied arms unable to block it. He looked around wearily, cautiously. Two people were in the room, one male the other female. The female was the one who had spoke. Dee's greatest weakness became his greatest strength: silence. He spoke not a word, feigning fright as he pretended to scan the room nervously. In reality, he was looking around for any means of escape. No, the only way out was through the steel vault door behind the two interrogators.He stared at the two people next, analyzing their movements carefully. Could he outrun them to the door? He doubted it. Even if they were slow, they had numerous advantages. Numbers were one. Actually knowing where they were was another. No, Dee could only stare blankly at the interrogators. The woman strode next to him, digging her nails into Dee's neck.

"Guess we'll do this the hard way."

~MOBIUS to ?~

A rush of cool wind whipped Xanthos' face mere microseconds after falling into darkness. His eyes snapped open and he took a gasp as he saw dizzying lights and sounds bombard him from all sides. He couldn't see. He couldn't hear. Surprised, Xanthos allowed his gloves to glow a mysterious purple and his body slowed instantly as his Chaos powers activated. He could see something below him, rectangular and gray. Not seeing it as a threat, he landed onto, realizing the object was a building rooftop. His eyes began to adjust to the staggering lights below. A soft thump to his right and Xanthos looked over to see Pennatus land cleanly on the rooftop as well, Hyperion on her back.

Remembering he was still in his super form, he took a deep breath and powered down, leaning forward over the ledge. Strange beings below made a loud ruckus, saying gibberish that wasn't comprehensible to the trio. The words were slurred, but seemed to be similar to the language that Xanthos spoke. He was able to make out "Las Vegas" and "Casino" but not much else. What were these things? Was Las Vegas a powerful entity that ruled this world? Or some malevolent creature that fed upon the souls of little ones through "casinos". Xanthos had no way of knowing.

"Where is this place?" Pennatus whispered, seeing more of the seemingly intoxicated beings. Below the rooftop the three stood on, they could see several of the beings hold up cards of some sort, a pile of green. . . something on the table in between them. They roared, some in anger, some in joy, taking some portions of the green papery stuff for themselves.

"It would be easier to know if we could see. . ." Xanthos replied, squinting to see more of this bustling area. His arm band felt strange, as if pulling him somewhere through the broken link between him and his creator. Xanthos grinned and turned to the other two. They both nodded, ready to find their Creator and put an end to the seemingly unending Time Stop.

~EARTH~

"Sir, we just detected a large energy spike at Las Vegas. It's not anything we've encountered before, sir," a thin boy said to a burly man, who only stroked his beard in contemplation. There was something up. . . but what? He turned around for a moment, deep in thought.

"Let's look into this energy spike, why don't we? Bring up visuals of Las Vegas in the last 24 hours. . ."

*Earth*

Kay: I hope Dee doesn't crack...

~Iciaura~

Luna: Alright Runea... Time to visit our creator's world! Lets fire it up!
Runea: Yes ma'am! *His eyes flash gold, and the large machine buzzes to life.*
Luna: Let's go. *She climbs up onto Runea's back and the two walk through the makeshift portal.*

CarlM: *sneaks up to the camera and disconnects the main power line* Ok, now the guard will be here in 1 minute. Act like nothing happened and give me 30 seconds. I'm gonna do something stupid but it will give some of us the chance to get out and get help.

EARTH

RockyK: Wow, Geoff, I had no idea! 11 years... that's pretty awesome and could probably come in handy... *nods to CarlM* Clearly you've proved that you're a bit of a risk taker, but... be safe. *sits back down on her cot, very still*


PLANET TROPIC - BASEMENT OF HOUSE OF TROPIC

~Within the next half an hour, the Transdimensional Teleporter started up; it's diamond-shaped projecter lights glittered with power, and the generator whirred with a strange glow emanating from its core. Fuel and electricity pulsed through the thick wires coming in and out of the machine and control box, and the antenae on top of the semi-circle shaped machine sparked, shooting off strong volts of electric shock. In the center of the machine, where there seemed to be nothing now, lights were coming together and twirling in the shape of a spiral. Different colors like, pinks, purples, blues, and whites all fused together at its vertex. The Transdimensional Teleporter was ready. ~

Roqueta: Alright you two. I've never traveled to another dimension before, so we'll all be lost together. *smiles* Not that I'm happy about it, but it is kind of exciting...

Decoda: No worries. I'm not afraid.

Ferina: How long do we have before the machine transports us back?

Roqueta: I set it for a week's time. 168 hours.

Decoda: Not bad. We should be able to get what we came for and get out.

Ferina: And what's "what we came for"?

Decoda: Answers.

~With Decoda on the left, Roqueta in the middle, and Ferina on the right, all three beings, gathering all of their courage and breathing in deeply, marched forward into the swirling, sparking vortex that was the the T.T. ~

*On the other end of the Vegas Strip*

*the portal opens and Luna and Runea step out. Right into a mass of beings, dressed up as strange creatures! A male being runs up to Luna*
Male: Whoa! Nice entrance! Amazing costume! And that wolf! So realistic!!!
Luna: um... thatnks? I guess?

~Earth~
CarlM: *hides where the door opens*
Guard: *bursts into the room* Whats going on here?!
CarlM: *rushes the guard, stealing his tazer from behind and tazing him in the neck* there. that should keep him out for about 2 hours. now, I'm heading to the nearest power box. in about 1 minute, more guards might head over here. they won't make it. In 30 seconds I will cut the power to the entire building. *takes gun and flashlight off the guard and hands them to Rocky and Kay* when the lights go out, the doors will open. get Geoff and Dee out of here. I'll stay behind and draw their attention. I know how these kind of guys operate. since I have info they want, they won't kill me. now, I'm off! *runs down the hall*

~Mobius, near the portal to the Vegas Strip~
Alex:......by all that is holy....if this leads to where the Creators are, then I should head there now....
???: Alex. you face a grim destiny beyond that portal. but it is not yours alone.
*walking out of the shadows is Xander*
Alex: what do you want, wretch!?
Xander: to save our creator. think about it....if he dies, so do we. and dying isn't an ambition of mine. so, for now, we must work together.
Alex: fine.....
*they both step through the portal*

*EARTH*
Kay: um... We all have information they want...
-----------------
Luna: *now wandering through the strange place*

CarlM: true, but I'm saying I will distract them while you get away and that you don't need to worry about me getting killed.

~the Vegas Strip~
*Alex and Xander walk out of the portal*
Alex: Now.....what to do?
Xander: isn't it obvious? we ask for directions. ask that girl over there! *points at a random girl*
Alex: excuse me, miss. could you be so kind as to tell us where we are?

~EARTH~

"We have detected more energy surges of similar degree to the the first one detected several minutes ago. The visual. . . it's best if you see for yourself, sir!" The boy points to the screen, pointing out several parts of Vegas where several humanoid animals came out of. The burly man gasped as he glanced at each of them in turn. They matched the descriptions of the teens they had captured some time ago for creating illigal monsters.

"And now the freaks have come for their masters, huh? Well. . . capture them. Dead or alive!" The burly man snarled and the boy input several passcodes. Several armed forces were now on their way to Vegas.

~EARTH~

Xanthos and his group leaped off the building and landed softly on the ground, almost immediately bombarded by the drunken beings from before, now seeming ly amazed by their appearance. They were annoying. Pulling tails and ears, an pinching cheeks, Xanthos and his group were carried away unceremoniously by the crowd. Finding it harder and harder to breathe in the mass of bodies around him, Xanthos accidently let out a blast of lightning into the sky as he cried out in pain, his tail stepped on.

None of them heard the helicopters overhead. . .

~EARTH~

"Just tell us what we need to know!" A resounding smack echoed in the room as Dee was backhanded in the face. Tears streamed down his face as the stinging sensation failed to cease. He decided to try his acting skills, whimpering and sniffling like a small child. He widened his eyes as he looked at the woman.

"I. . . I just wanna go home!" He wailed, hoping his act would catch her off guard. The man, presumably the good cop, pushed the woman back, kneeling down till he was eye level with Dee.

"We just want to understand. Can you help us?" The man asked softly, trying to negotiate. Dee pretended to think about the decision, but in reality, his mind was reeling. He wanted out. Now.

~Vegas Inochicon~

Luna: Runea... Where are we?
Runea: Seems that we have successfully crossed to our Creator's world...

*Jail?*
Kay: Alright...

~Jail~
CarlM: *sneaks into the power control room and finds the main circuit breaker. he then stabs the tazer into the breaker, causing the whole system to overload and shut down. the lights go off immediately and he sneaks out of the room*
Agent: What the? what happened?! *gets hit in the back of the head by Carl armed with a steel pipe from the control room.*
CarlM: *sneaks into the torture chamber where Dee is being held. Knocks the agents in the room unconscious and sneaks over to Dee.* You ok, kid? Its Carl. I'm gonna free you. *undos the locks and gives Dee a flashlight* go find Rocky and Kayla. they should be near the exit by now. here's a map I found in the power room. now get going. I'll stall the rest of the Agents as long as I can.

EARTH JAIL

RockyK: *kicks the guard hard on her way out the door* Yeah, how you like that you dirty, son of a -- oh, right... Sorry, I'm wasting more time! Kay, come on; I know this is risky, but its time to take advantage of the situation! *grabs Kay's arm and runs with her down the hall to the nearest exit* I don't know where we are in this facility! I wish I'd've grabbed that guard's map or something! You have any idea?



THROUGH THE TRANSDIMENSIONAL TELEPORTER - MOJAVE DESERT

~In a blast of white, lavender, and light blue light, a shimmering and wavy, yet circular portal had appeared over the smooth and dry sand of the vast Mojave Desert. Out of the portal, Roqueta, Decoda, and Ferina all tumbled out, and picking themselves up off the sand and brushing it off, they watched the portal close. They only had a week to do figure this out before the portal would locate them and suck them back up, returning them all to Tropic. But first of all, was this the right Earth? ~

Roqueta: *brushing more sand off and fidgeting obsessively* Geewww!! Sandsandsandsandsand!!! Nooo!! Argh!! Why'd we have to land here?!

Ferina: Calm down! It's just sand!

Roqueta: Gee, I thought that you would've expected this, considering you're one of my closest friends!

Ferina: Sor-ree! But, hey, at least we made it through okay! That's the part I was worried about.

Decoda: Looks like we're not far from civilization, you guys...

~Curiously, the three headed over to a large mound of sand, and as they mounted it, all of them laid their eyes upon the bright and well-lit city of Las Vegas. They were still some distance from it, but if they hurried, they could get there before nightfall. ~

Ferina: Its actually quite pretty...

Roqueta: I betcha anything the T.T. brought us here because it sensed the electrical energy flow coming from all these lights and things...

Decoda: Power is attracted to more power... of course. *grins* Shall we, then?

Ferina: Totally! Let's move! *cartwheels down the sand mound in the direction of the city*

~EARTH JAIL~

Dee raced down the hallway, map and flashlight in hand. He gasped as he saw a staircase up ahead. With a burst of adrenaline, he leaped over the side, his feet slamming to the floor below. He grunts, wobbling for a moment, trying to regain his bearings. Oh, right, I'm not superhuman, Dee sighed, standing upright. According to the map, the cell where Kay, Geoff and RockyK were held was only a few doors down. Cautiously, Dee peers around the corner, making sure there weren't any guards. I thought this was a government facility. Isn't it supposed to be impossible for a breakout to happen this easily?

Shrugging, Dee dashed toward the cell and swung the door open. Gone. His eyes grew. Had they been taken away? His eyes travel to something in the corner. A guard's body, unconscious. I. . . guess I'll have to assume they all managed to escape. With that, Dee turned heel and ran down another hallway, making his way towards the floor that the exit should be on.

~LAS VEGAS~

Angrily, Xanthos expels more lightning, causing the many lights around him to flicker on and off as his anger grows. Unable to hold back his annoyance at these creatures, he lashed out, using his feline flexibility and ninja prowess to knock back the many drunks. He whipped out two kunai and spun around, a warning spin. He felt a flash of heat behind him, and glanced back momentarily, regretting his decision almost immediately. Bright light soared towards the heavens above as Hyperion let loose a brilliant blast of light energy. The drunks cried out in pain and staggered away from the Titan of Light. Multicolored energy spurts to his left, and Xanthos knew Pennatus had also managed to free herself from the drunks, her wings now a pair of multicolored wings of energy. She backflips away from the drunks and lands next to Xanthos, panting softly. Hyperion grunts and backs up as well.

"Cease your attacks, freaks!" A male voice rings out, surprisingly comprehensible. Xanthos, Penny, and Hyperion look to the right edge of the crowd,seeing a man wearing camouflage pants and a bulletproof vest stride towards them. The three travelers prepared their various powers, ready to fight this strange being. The man spat out a lollipop from his mouth, grinding it under his steel toed boots as he pointed a large gun at the three. A dozen more men, all carrying the same weapons, pointed them at Xanthos and his allies. Xanthos stared into the barrel of the lead man, unafraid.

"There are about 354 ways I could kill you right now," Xanthos growled, his purple lightning arcing across his fur. "And 231 of them involve breaking bones."

~outside las vegas~
*alex and xander are running for their lives as an angry mob of humans chases them.*
Alex: I TOLD YOU THE WOULD FIND US WEIRD!
Xander: LESS TALK MORE RUN FOR YOUR MISERABLE LIFE!
*the two see the Rocky group.*
Alex: Hey, thats Wrath! WRATH! HELP US!
Xander: THEY'RE CATCHING UP! WE CAN'T RUN FOREVER!

CarlM: *is running through the halls in the opposite direction of the exit with about 20 guards on his tail and more running to join the chase. he starts yelling to draw more guards* I WANNA BE AN AIRBORNE RANGER! I WANNA LIVE A LIFE OF DANGER! *rounds corner and starts hitting the metal lockers* BEFORE THE DAY I DIE, THERE'S 5 THINGS I WANNA RIDE! BICYCLE, TRICYCLE, AUTOMOBILE, VIRGIN'S MOTHER, A FERRIS WHEEL! I WANNA BE AN AIRBORNE RANGER! I WANNA LIVE A LIFE OF DANGER!

**JAIL**
Kay: *singing to the tune of Endless Possibility as she runs through the halls* This is my escape, I'm runnin' through these halls and I'm not lookin' back! Cuz I know I can go, but these people don't want me gone but I can't be lookin' back! Oh, how will I know when I get out? How will I know when I'm free? *She laughs, weirdly enjoying this jailbreak*

~Vegas Inochicon~

*Several people grab luna and Runea and drag them onto a stage.*
Luna: Wha-Hey! Let me go!!!
Runea: Luna?! What is happening?
Luna: Hell if I know!
Announcer: An the winner of this year's Inochicon costume contest is... *puts the microphone in Luna's face*
Luna: err... Luna and my wolf Runea???
Announcer: LUNA AND RUNEA!!!
*the crowd cheers loudly*
Luna: oohhhh... Xanthos always knew how to get out of this stuff....

EARTH JAIL

~RockyK enjoys the song's meaning, but begins to slow down, as she can no longer run so fast for so long. She slows to a jog, panting and trying to keep up with Kay, but because her mouth is dry from exhaustion, she cannot call out to her. But luckily, a doorway is near, and she tries to proceed, managing to squeak out a few words to warn her friend. ~

RockyK: *in between pants*...K-Kay! Head... head for the... the door! Hurry!!


MOJAVE DESERT

~Roqueta, Ferina and Decoda all slip, slide and dash down the many sand dunes and sprint over the more flat areas. Las Vegas was only a short while away now, and the lights came into a more clearer view. A few car horns and different sounds could also be heard from that far! ~

Decoda: We're closer! I'm gonna say a half an hour at this speed will surely get us there!

Roqueta: At-at this speed?!

Ferina: Why so flustered now?

Roqueta: I can't keep up with you guys! I maybe part robotic, but that doesn't include ultimate speed!

Ferina: Decoda's not fast either, so why don't I go on ahead?

Decoda: There's something I wouldn't mind admitting to... *begins to slow down* Knock yourself out, Ferina!

Roqueta: *slows down as well* We'll try to keep up, okay? Just don't get hurt! Find out if this the right place!

Ferina: You got it!

~As the speedy brown and black footed ferret sped down the sand, she accidently kicked up some in the other's faces. Paying no mind to it, she grinned as she maintained her speed and was nearing the massive city more quicker than ever! But as she got closer, she noticed someone calling out for help - it appeared to be a skunk! Quickening her pace, she headed down toward the two being chased by an angry mob! ~

Ferina: Uuaaahh! A mob?! What'd you guys do?! And who are you?!

Alex: ALL WE DID WAS ASK WHERE WE ARE, THEN SOME JOKERS TRIED TO PULL MY DIVINE ARM OFF. THEY SAW IT WASN'T FAKE AND FLIPPED OUT! NOW THE WHOLE CITY IS OUT TO KILL US!
Xander: GET US OUT OF HERE!!!!! WE'RE JUST HERE TO SAVE OUR CREATOR!
