The relatively small, yellow-and-orange ship darted away from a blast as a horseshoe-shaped metallic ship fired on it.
"Whoa!" The partially cybernetic, yellow fox-like creature inside snarled. She turned, baring small teeth with amphibian-like lips parted. "Nix, guns?"
The Shiny Umbreon growled. "Bad news, Voltalia. They're jammed from when that Grox ship rammed us."
Voltalia launched into a spiel of swearing that would've been R-rated in most universes.
Another laser blast... and beneath them space broke open, shattering into a thousand shards of light. The sky beneath the shatter was brilliant blue, and it was this sky they descended into.
The Grox ship fired again, before stopping. Odd.
"Nix, what universe is this?"
"It's not showing up in my database. It's not in my database!"
"HQ needs to know. Now-- WHAT IS THAT BLACK THING?!"
"DAMMIT, PUT THE ARCEUS-DAMNED ENGINES IN FULL GEAR!"
The Shade snapped at the fleeing ship before attempting to follow them through the void.
The Grox ship had also backed off. The Grox and lone human inside had all decided to let HQ know. About a new universe to assimilate... and about the dark force they believed they could utilize.
-Alliance HQ-
The Alliance's leader listened to Voltalia's report.
It was time to call a meeting.
Afterwards? The decision was unanimous - a universe with a creature like that couldn't be allowed to live, much less interfere in the war against the Grox. That incident with Cthulu was enough. They didn't need a repeat performance from another abomination.
"Voltalia. Take the Delta Squadron and their land mounts. Investigate that universe. Find any weaknesses. Any history. And report back with an idea of how much force we need."
The yellow creature nodded, nostrils flaring and long ears twitching. "Yessir."
"Your ship's guns are being fixed right now. As soon as they're fixed - which should be momentarily - you're clear to go."
"Yessir." Voltalia turned and stalked off, her metal paw hitting the ground heavily.
-Grox HQ-
Emperor Gruuckox the Fifth and his council of Grox were finishing up a meeting about this new realm. The decision had been unanimous - we capture this abomination, corrupt any powerful creatures we can sic on the Alliance, and assimilate the place.
One of the division generals made his way through the station, finding his way to one starship flotilla. Once he saw the Grox there, along with a mighty Koopa, a werewolfish creature, and a noodley dragon, he cleared his throat.
"Nox Squadron, the Emperor wants you to investigate the realm we broke into. You've been selected because one of you hails from this universe, or so I'm told.
Your mission is to find a way to capture the abomination residing there and corrupt any powerful creatures you can. Or just convince them to help you. We'll be sending in two more squadrons soon, and when they rendezvous with you, you can start assimilation as well as your other tasks."
The troop saluted before heading for their ships.
-Tempest Spire-
"YOU'RE TELLING ME THE SHADE WAS THAT CLOSE?!"
"I saw it, Boss!" The grey Ridgeback with orange wings looked up at the Stormcatcher, backing off slowly.
Stormcatcher's body crackled. He snarled. The Shade... how did it get this close? And then the sky shattering... something was up. Something.
And of course the others would blame Stormcatcher for this. They were still angry about the whole Bogsneak incident, snarling at him that they had not agreed to making breeds that way. Of course, he'd been testing if it could be done. But did they ever listen to progress? No.
If either dragon had looked out a window just then, the break in the sky would've been clearly visible. So, too, would the fact that something had just flown out of the space the break opened up to. And that it was coming closer. But no one looked out. They were too busy working.
The ship flew closer, charging its energy cannons - and then launching its attack.
The side of the Spire blasted open, pulses of energy killing dragons and exaltees and slamming Stormcatcher into the ground. Other exaltees and dragons were fleeing, some panicking.
Voltalia shouted over her mike. "Deploy your land mounts, we're investigating this place! Nix, keep my ship on standby in case we need its weapons!"
-Beneath the Spire-
The Earth Skydancer leapt back, hissing. "What in Earthshaker's name?!"
Dawnbringer snarled. This was... not good. How did that THING bust into the Spire? What was it?
Oh, wait... it kinda looked like the starship the Arcanist rode in... Wait. What are those? Weapons of some- !!! Something's coming this way!
Dawnbringer yelped, letting off a burst of Earth magic. The ground shook under the bipedal blue creature's feet.
Sonic backed up. He grabbed his mike while turning to run.
"Some local just attacked me! It was kinda like a Earthquake move!"
Voltalia's reaction? "Sonic. Why are you even... oh nevermind. Just get out and get over here! We'll deal with this later."
The blue hedgehog started running towards where the ship had made its attack.
Dawnbringer snarled. SHE wasn't passing up a fight... and with that, she tried to pursue the odd blue creature. Key word being tried. It soon started to pull away from her, and the Skydancer just couldn't keep up to its running speed.
