USA, Seattle, 2016

In every kid's dream there was always one to step off of their own world and enter the world of the video game they always adored. This was the baseline behind a company known as "Vidcom". Their founder. CEO Patrick Linwald. Was a aspiring video game designer who was like most typical teenagers. He wanted to shift his focus of video games towards hardware and software development. He eventually started rising to popularity after entertaining people at a local Con about the idea of the VidNex. A console capable of using unheard of sensor technology and simulation awareness to map a human body and place them in a video game world where they felt they were really there. He ended up going viral after humorously trying to explain his idea while bumbling through his performance. But he caught the eye of a certain investor who was known for taking risks on outlandish ideas.The Investor, Elon Musk, ended up giving the kid a chance after meeting with him and having him explain the idea to himself personally.

USA, Seattle, 2017

Patrick was given a grant from Musk and was told to work with some people he hired on to try and make his dream a reality. Patrick ended up pleasing a few of the testers enough to be able to establish 'Vidcom'. Using his own company and support from Musk. Patrick created the first alpha version of the device, however this first alpha proved to be inefficient due to the scale of the hardware needed to run both the game and the devices. So he started hatching a idea to create a console capable of utilizing the device and the technology to improve it. After months of toiling with the idea. He managed to create the first testing area for the console at his facility in Seattle where he used the numerous servers there to support the tech's massive GPU draw and power usage until he could widdle it down to the six of a box.

Music (Might not fit idk):

START- USA, Seattle, 2018 -START

After numerous tests and advances in technology. Patrick was able to create the first beta version of his console. Driven by a desire for success and dream-fulfillment. He ended up writing up a plan to utilize the Seattle Space Needle to broadcast a signal capable of connecting his devices locally. Allowing for his servers to reach consumers in local area as the first wave of beta testers. However. Something like this could never be allowed by any reasonable folk. So he took it upon himself to bribe several members of the Space Needle Corporation to allow him and several others to build a room inside the Space Needle to house what he needed to make his device work.

However..When the device went online. Something occurred. A unthinkable amount of energy had been released at the Space Needle. Something had gone terribly wrong, either by malfunction or by other means. Some sort of power caused a wave of energy to blast through the Space Needle and it killed almost everyone in the nearby area, later known as The Warp. The power that came from the device didn't work as planned. And instead of putting a player in the world of a video game. The sudden. corruptive energy caused a siphon to happen inside the consoles which killed the users instantly. The U.S National Guard was called in on the manner due to the unprecedented death toll and a immediate Exclusion Zone was erected due to those dying in the Warp becoming something other than human. A power started to rush over the city, causing all sorts of anomalies. The President called for everyone to be evacuated and the City is now closed off to everyone, No one gets in or out.

Suddenly, another wave erupted from the Needle, This was known as The Reave. As the sky itself was torn open to a empty, black void with red streaks of lightning crackling up and down the tower. The Reave also effected more than just the real world. It grabbed Video Game Characters, later known as Icons to the military, and ripped them from their worlds and into the real world. All of them were sent to different parts of the city. The Military chalked it up to debris and still retains a Exclusion Zone until they can figure out what exactly went wrong. But for the Icons on the inside. They may just be the only hope to finding out what happened exactly and choosing what to do with the Void themselves.

Mars, UAC Facility

Rage, Rage is all that the Slayer could feel. Having destroyed the Mastermind of the invasion on the UAC facility. The Hellwalker could not celebrate in peace. He kept contempt to himself as Samuel Hayden took the Crucible Artifact from him and acknowledged that (Hayden-)"Our time is up, I can't kill you, but I won't have you standing in our way....until we see each other again." Clenching his fists, The Slayer tried to pull himself free of the tether only to find himself pulled into utter blackness.

Seattle, East Lake Eastern side

Pain struck at his very bone and he felt as if his entire power was being drained from his body. Hayden must of done more than just teleported The Slayer. As his very power began to fade. Suddenly, Light. The Slayer clenched his fists as he held his arms up to block the light. And then, a mighty explosion as he slammed into the ground below. Surprisingly however, he felt unscathed.

The Slayer rose to his feet slowly and looked around. Something definatly was not right. He was in neither Hell nor on Mars. From what he could immediately tell. He was on Earth. But different from the last time he had seen the world before. In ages past he remembered it grimly where it was infested with demons. But now. He's not too sure.

The Slayer regains his composure as he finally rose to his feet. He peers up towards a expansion shore and a large river in front of him. Out of unbridled rage, The Slayer immediately kicked and broke a observer post. Nearly ripping it out of the ground. He reached for his pistol and pulled it out. He felt his back with his left hand and found only his shotgun and clenched his fist in anger. Turning away from the shore. He quietly observed the crater he had caused.

Unknown Sector, Galactic Federation Space

Samus sighed, slowly inputting coordinates into the Gunship's navicomputer before pulling the seat back, standing up and taking a few steps forward before a blinding light suddenly flashed ahead of her, overriding her suit's protective lenses and blinding the woman. She raised her hand ahead of her view, trying to block out the light before everything went black. She felt something tug and pull at her as her systems went completely dark, the faint lights of her visor shutting off as darkness swallowed her up

Seattle, Harbor Island Northern Tip

Samus felt like she was surrounded for darkness for hours, however a faint flash of light drew her attention, and then light swarmed into her vision from all sides, she realized rather quickly that she was falling, Fast A quick spin the air and the activation of her suit's Space Jump system slowed her down, allowing her to get a good look around her as she slowly descended, the buildings reminded her of old books and pictures her parents showed her of old Terran cities back on Earth before the days of the Federation. A tower near the center of the city drew her attention, red energy rolling up the sides slowly funneling into a massive rip in the fabric of the universe. She activated her Scan Visor, trying to get a signal but only to realize that something was wrong with it. Landing gently on a dock near the water, she quickly scanned the area for any signs of life, seeing a few abandoned boats and vehicles, but no signs of life.

"System Status: Power Suit: Varia Suit active, upgrades missing. Arm Cannon: Charge Beam active, upgrades missing, Missile System: Missing, Scan Visor: Damaged, X-Ray Visor; Active, X-Ray Scope, Missing, Grapple System: Missing, Speed Boosters: Missing, Screw Attack: Missing, Morph Ball Systems: Active, Upgrades missing" Samus internally sighed as she activated the repair system for her Scan Visor, this had an annoying habit of occurring before every mission, planned or unexpected. But it was par for the course at this point, shutting down the diagnostics, she decided to push farther into the harbor, trying to find signs of life, friendly or not.

Earth, Above Los Angeles

Duke smiled triumphantly as he descended through Earth's atmosphere in a captured fighter. He had just defeated the Rigelatin threat and saved Earth again. He had looked down upon the Earth from the Rigelatin mothership and thought of becoming King Duke but decided that wasn't groovy. He blew the mothership to Kingdom Come and was returning home.

"Damn, I'm good." He though to himself as he lit a cigar. Suddenly his fighter was enveloped in a red warp field. The computer began going haywire, the dials were spinning erratically. Suddenly, it was black.

Seattle, Harbor Island Middle

Just as the darkness that consumed Duke, he was thrusted forth into the light. His fighter was losing altitude, fast. He attempted to reign the mechanical beast in but to no avail. "I'm out of here." He quipped as he bailed from his fighter, a few feet above a building. Duke stumbled as he landed, falling flat on his face. "What the Hell? That's never happened to me before." His fighter crashed into the streets below, wiping out the many abandonded vehicles. Duke cracked his knuckles, "Those alien bastards are gonna pay for shooting up my ride," and walked towards the edge of the building. He looked up at the Space Needle and grited his teeth, "Seattle? I don't have time for this hipster bullshit."

Duke began to turn away when he heard a sonic boom from the north end of the Island. He turned towards the boom and witnessed a man in power armor falling. Duke began making his way towards the bottom floor, with the intent of finding this man in power armor but not before scoffing, "Power armor is for pussies."

Seattle, Harbor Island, Between North and Middle

-SARGO/PEPPER-

*The Harbor laid in ruins, The blast wave and the energy that followed The Reave cause many of the shipping cranes to topple from the impact and some ships to turn over and sink halfway into the harbor. If Samus and Duke continued on forward. They'd spot two strange looking organisms farther down the harbor. They were strange looking and instinctively devilish looking by the numerous dark tentacles that protruded from their stomach and legs. They appeared mostly human but with sick looking skin and blood filling their eyes. They slowly stumbled around, clothed in partially ripped worker uniforms. And remained mostly unaware of their presence.*

[Revival]

Eastern Europe, 'Oblivion Ridge'

Albus kept walking forward throughout the wake of destruction of monsters being destroyed. /"I need to set this up now before she gets here."/ He thought to himself as he kept walking through the traverse, the sunset skies burning down onto the creatures; firing a Optical Shot towards a Skeletal Beast, felling it one shot as he knealed down, focusing as he started to channel the arcane magics; revealing the Glyph Dominus Agony. He could almost feel the energy radiating off of it as he raised his gun. He could draw it in now if he wanted to, but he needed to wait for Shanoa to get there. Walking back outside as he felt something envelop him, gasping out as he pulled his gun, starting to fire into the mist wildly, hitting a stray skeleton as he felt the darkness overtake his body, soon coming to a new and unfamiliar world.

Seattle, North Admiral, Madison Middle School

Albus found himself surrounded by the dark, his gun continuing to go off, his bullets channeling and firing slower and slower. As he found himself awoken in front of what appeared to be a school? It didn't look like one that albus knew, or what  was going on. The what appeared to be Modern Arches he was resting under, standing up as he aimed his gun around - walking as he looked around the entrance. Looking at the entrance to the school as he aimed his gun at the door; calling out.

"Hey! Is anyone here?" He asked, looking around as he waited for an answer, before he aimed his gun at the lock of the door, firing three bullets. Each bullet aimed towards the lock as he kicked in the door, grunting as he kicked solid metal; backing up as he went for the handle. Gripping it and was able to open it with relative ease, raising Agartha and aiming down the main hallway of the school. His energy feeling weaker as he kept his gun aimed down the hallway of the school, wondering to himself /"Did the Dominus Glyph do this? Was it truly a manisfestation of Dracula's power?"/ He questioned, before shaking his head. Getting ready to explore this new world he has found himself in.

Novigrad

Geralt is low to the ground, stalking a nearby Griffin. He studies it for a few moments. \Female, calm though on alert, on all fours, wings open to fly away at a moments notice.\ He remains hidden, not willing to engage the beast while it was ready. Suddenly, he feels a tugging at his back, before he can react, everything goes to black.

Seattle, Harbor Island, Northwestern edge

Darkness consumes Garelt. \Black magic? I didn't hear anyone coming.\ Suddenly light engulfs him and after a moment, he realizes he's falling, and he's high up. He uses Aard to twist his body and angles his feet down. He then uses Quen to create a shield around himself. As he falls, he readies himself and as he nears the ground, he signs another Aard, slowing his fall and then he hits the ground. As he lands, his Quen shatters and he rolls, softening his landing. He remains there for a moment, noticing he isn't healing as quickly as he should, though he still feels his body regenerating. He stands, examining his surroundings. It's not Novigrad, or anywhere he's ever scene. No trees, just massive structures to what he believed his east. He notices a few figures falling from the air as he did. He decides his best option is to find out where he is and find if anyone who knew had also befallen his fate.

Seattle, South East Lake

The Doom Slayer continued down the main street leading out of the South East Lake area. Encountering only abandoned cars and nature overtaking the streets. He felt his blood cooling, a feeling he hated. The feeling of not having a demon by the throat and ripping it's windpipe out. The Slayer comes to a stop and peers up ahead towards the same, tentacled looking human. The Doom Slayer's left fist clenched slowly and his right gripped tightly on his pistol. He quickly ran forward. Noticing his speed isn't the same as he once had on Mars and in Hell.

It did not matter to him however. He had a thing to kill. A creature resembling a demonic wretch. He finally came up on the creature and it turned to moan loudly at him with sucking noises emitting deep in it's throat. The Doom Slayer grabbed the creature by the neck and shoved his pistol into it's throat. He pulled on the trigger several times until the creature's head and throat was blown apart by the carnage and hatred. The Slayer threw the corpse to the ground and looks around for a moment. He noticed that the creature did not drop any sort of energy pick ups as he was accustomed to. And became all the more angry. He stepped forward and stomped on the corpse as he continued on down the road by himself.

Seattle, Harbor Island Middle

Duke stepped out the front door and the erie silence of the city began to set in. He spits out the stump of his former cigar and lights a new one when he takes notice of a mysterious creature stumbling about. He approaches the creature and grimaces as the details become clear. "Damn, you're ugly." He says as he pulls his shotgun and fires.

The creature slumps over dead and a shriek rings out through Harbor Island, followed by an foreboding shuffling as more and more creatures begins to converge on Duke's position.

"Shit." Duke begins to run north, emptying his shotgun into the creatures. He slings his shotgun and pulls his pistol. He begins huffing and puffing, feeling the effects of the Reave. "I'm getting too old for this shit." He spots a pub called "O'Brecain's." He moves for O'Brecain's and enters the Pub.

As he enters O'Brecain's, the jukebox begins to play as if it were a soundtrack accompanying the action.

The Jukebox plays an Irish Folk Song:

Duke begins hastily barricading the door with whatever he can find such as chairs and tables. He takes up a position behind the bar and waits.

The creatures begin breaking through.

Duke begins firing his pistol, expending all his ammo. The creatures begin to overwhelm him, he's kicking and punching. Duke pops some steroids and rips off one of the creature's head. The creature is still alive, so he takes a pipe bomb and shoves it down the creature's throat. He shoves the creature into the crowd and detonates the pipe bomb.

This is not a video game. Duke catches some of the blast and the roof of O'Brecain's caves in.

[Sargo922]

Samus scans the area around her, cautiously moving through the docks before encountering a strange creature, grimicing at it's disgusting appearance as she quickly scans it, small text filling the corner of her vision "<:: The Creature ahead appears to have a malformed bone structure and a organ layout resembling a human until it reaches the stomach to which it becomes nothing but a biomass of organic parts and unknown material." Samus cautiously raises her arm cannon, about to fire when a shriek fills the air, the creature turning and shambling away, the echo of gunfire growing slowly louder as she follows the creature, doing her best to avoid being spotted and utilizing cover. She eventually reaches a four way street, the creatures swarming and attacking one of the structures as gunfire rings out from inside. She raises her arm cannon again and is about to fire when an explosion rips through the structure, vaporizing the creatures surrounding it and collasping the structure.

Samus checks for more creatures before running forward, moving through the debris as she gets a faint pulse of life from her scan visor, rushing over, she begins digging through the rubble, her enhanced strength and power suit making it easy as she begins to uncover the life-form, eventually she does, carefully removing him from the rubble and resting him up against some debris, she looks him over. The individual in question is human, standing 6'4 and wearing a bright red shirt, bandoleers and ammo belts covering his torso and lower body. She notices the mild breathing, reaching out with her unarmed hand as she hits the man on the cheek, forceful enough to wake him up but weak enough not to hurt on him accident, she holds her arm cannon back a bit, but close enough to pull it up if the man attempts to attack her.

[SlyCoopr]

Moves through the unfamiliar landscape. He heads southeast, moving quickly but cautiously. He sees carriages made of metal and wheels made of rubber. These carriages litter the area, and so do some odd creatures. He cuts any that get too close to him with his silver blade. He continues his march when he hears a loud explosion not too far away from where he stood.


As he closes in, he finds a collapsed building. What he also witnesses is a figure clad in an odd metal armor of sorts. He closes in, but keeps low and in the shadows. He examines as the figure digs through some rubble, looking for something. As he watches, he sees the figure finally pulls on a large human dressed in weird clothing. He closes in a bit more, remaining as hidden as he possibly can.

Northend, The Frozen Throne

Arthas Menethil, The Lich King of the Scourge. Slowly stepped up towards the throne after donning the Helm of Domination and sat upon it as the pillars of ice around him began to cave in. Arthas slowly closed his eyes as frost began to encase him into a tomb of ice. He opened his eyes once more, only to see nothing but darkness.

Seattle, Century Link Football Field

The Lich King shook himself awake and slowly opened his eyes. He was in a kneeling position with a small crater formed around him. Having been covered with ice by now by his mere presence. The King slowly arose and peered around at his surroundings and thought to himself /"I have never seen a structure like this before. Some sort of gladiatorial arena..But this is -not- the Frozen Throne."\ Arthas took Frostmourne in his hand. Still relieved to feel his hands wrap around the hilt of the blade once more. He pulled the blade from his sheath and slowly began to stroll down the field of the stadium. Looking for a nearby exit so he can figure out where he was exactly.

Hyperspace, Onboard Pursuer-class Enforcement Ship 'Consular'

Canderous sits at the center of the cockpit of his ship, his two personal and most trusted bodyguards sit to his right and left. One being of his own clan, Dog Ordo and the other being another former neo crusader of the old war, Sikat Sueban. The guard to Canderous' left, Sikat speaks up. Really think our promises will keep the Republic off our backs? First they get paranoid then they try to bomb Mandalore into a desert. It's all just another slipper slope." Canderous is about to turn and respond when all of a sudden the blue color of hyperspace is slowly engulfed in black, the mass slowly overtakes them as the electronics of the ship begin to fail.

Seattle, Directly above the Industrial District

The ship violently jerked out of hyperspace into realspace -in atmosphere-. Thrusters, repulsors, electronics were all shot beyond repair. All the three could do was brace as the ship spun and plummeted to the ground, crashing through the corner of a factory and onto a street, partially burying the ship. Minutes after the sudden stop, the three are on their feet dozily making their way to the rear exit of the ship. The door opens to a distorted humanoid with its midsection flailing multiple appendages violently. A blaster bolt flies past both Canderous and Sikat, hitting the thing in the head and killing it instantly. Sikat and Canderous both turn their heads to Dog holding a steaming blaster pistol up in the air. They look back to each other then exit the ship looking around the area.

Tall buildings are built row by row, resembling a large city. Oddly, however the buildings materials are closer to that of adobe construction rather than metals actually reminding Canderous of Keldabe somewhat. The trio step further out into the street and notice more creatures coming out of multiple entrances, staring and circling them like hungry predators. Canderous holds his heavy repeater down at his midsection scanning around as he bodyguards did the same on his flanks forming 360 security. Canderous speaks through his helmet comms "These things don't look like they wanna talk. What do you boys think, bad sith alchemy?" (Dog responds) "Who cares? They look like they wanna die, let's oblige!" (Canderous replies sternly) "It's best to know your enemy but you're right, now's not the time to learn. Let's get to high ground and figure out where we can find parts or a replacement ship in this dead city. We'll figure out what that hyperdrive malfunction was later." The trio then head down the streets and alleys blasting creatures as they head toward a factory with a long smoking tower."

The music changes as Samus clears the rubble.

More Celtic Folk:

Duke opens his eyes as he is smacked on the cheek. He lost one of his sunglass lenses in the blast. A single blue eye peers back up at Samus, "Where am I? Who the Hell are you?" he groans.

Samus keeps her weapon on stand-by as Duke speaks. "As to where we are, I don't know, all I saw was a building collapse and I found you in it, my name is Samus. Are you alright?"

"Never felt better" Duke says as he stands up. Samus stands up to her full height and extends a hand to assist Duke but he simply high fives her hand, "I ain't no pussy." Samus is slighty confused by this, "Those creatures are going to be swarming this area, we should find somewhere safer so you can recover a bit. You've taken some heavy damage from the collapse."

As Duke and Samus converse, Geralt approaches and listens in.

Duke searches for an intact bottle of whiskey. He spots a reflection of a bearded man in a mirror on the pub's wall, "It seems we're not alone." Samus turns, flicking her x-ray visor on as she spots the individual, she aims her arm cannon and calls out* "Come out!"

Geralt sees the armored one point at him with a strange arm and she calls for him. He stands to his full height, 6'2, and advances forward. He makes a sign with his hand as he closes in. "Hello, I see I could not hide from you."

"Hiding in plain sight is a bold plan." Duke quipped. Samus lowers her arm cannon, cautious and still on guard as she turns off her x-ray visor* "Identify yourself, quickly now." "Geralt of Rivia. I'm a Witcher, monster hunter. I am not from this land, all I remember is everything going black and then falling from the sky."

Duke becomes standoffish, "You must be the bastard responsible for all these alien bastards walking around." Geralt replies "I am not, these creatures are new to me."

As tensions rise, they are interupted as a ship appears in the air off in the distance. There is a loud crash as the ship hits the ground.

-ARTHAS-

Arthas only briefly looked towards the sky as what appeared to be a flying, metal ship of some sort crashed into the Industrial district a few miles out. Arthas thought to himself \"Wherever I am..It does not seem that I am in Northrend..And these structures..These do not remind me of Lordaeron..This much be by some trickery of Mal'Ganis' ilk.."\ Arthas strode on down the street towards the Industrial District slowly. Frost is left behind him like a path as he leaves the Stadium.

Seattle, South Lake Union, The Lookout

-DOOM SLAYER-

The Doom Slayer continued traveling down I-5. Occasionally ripping apart a monstrosity demon spawn along the way until he found a strange looking building fitted with lights and bottles. The Doom Slayer made his way inside by kicking the locked door open. He slides his pistol and locks it to his waist as he looks around the bar quietly. He reaches up and pulls the helmet of his Praetor suit off in a rare occurrence to observe the layout of the building. He steps behind the counter and grabs a bottle of whiskey from the counter and sits down at the counter by himself. Instead of grabbing a glass. He simply starts to drink the whiskey straight from the bottle.

[Sargo922]

The crashing sound of the starship draws the three's attention, the group hearing it tear apart the district it crashed in as Samus turns to the group "Right now, we have two options, we can go investigate that ship's crash site, or we can go investigate the strange energy signature I'm getting from our west. If we're looking for information as to what's going on, I think that's where we should start. Or thirdly, you can keep acussing Geralt of being responsible for this mess, and we can fight and draw more of those creatures here."

Geralt responds quickly "I'm not too fond of heading to a flying vessel. I would rather head to what crashed not far from here. And I rather not kill anyone as of this moment.", Duke responding as well "That strange energy whatever is probably what took down my ride." Samus speaks up again "Then if we're in agreement, we should head that way and find out what exactly we're up against."

"After you, sir." Geralt says as Duke reloads his weapons "I'll have to find some ammo on the way there. Good thing I wiped those bastards out. though." Samus lowers her arm cannon, turning to leave "There will no doubt me more, let us move with haste."

Geralt looks to Duke, slowly reaching to his back "I have a crossbow you may use for the time being." Duke responds quickly and proudly "Girls wear bows. I am no girl." Samus couldn't believe what she was hearing as she shook her head, starting to move away from the duo, regardless if they moved to catch up with her or not. She could overhear Duke saying "Let's get the Hell outta here." as Geralt put the Crossbow away, the duo moving to catch up with Samus as they began to head West towards the energy signature Samus spotted on her way down.

[Vasiil]

The three find a large factory, about 6 stories tall at least with a silo going up even further. They enter the bottom floor, scanning around and spotting multiple creatures. They immediately start to close in on them and Canderous primes his heavy repeater firing multiple blaster bolts into their masses. His bodyguards engage to his flanks. Dog starts to head out toward a staircase and Canderous grabs him by his shoulder shaking his head. They stop and wait listening to more footsteps shambling toward them from elsewhere in the factory then promptly engage them when they come in view. This continues until they are confident the building is cleared and head upstairs. Dog and Sikat stay at the top of the box shape of the building as Canderous climbs the large silo and scans out toward the city trying to find anything of note.

As the trio of Icons make their way towards the bridge which will take them across the river, They happen upon a peculiar sight. A blockade in the middle of the bridge with humans wearing what appears to be uniforms. However, Once they get in sight of the figures the humanoids also spot them and slowly all turn towards them. They seem to have the same tentacle masses ripping out the back of their clothes. They raise their conventional weapons and fire on the group immediately and manage to hit Samus' thigh while other bullets graze Geralt's arm and Duke's shoulder. There is a pile of wrecked cars in front of the trio to take cover but the Soldiers are also in cover about 88ft from them with cars in between.

Soldiers:

-VASILI-

The Lich King pauses for a moment near the outskirts of the Industrial District as he hears several blasts of some sort from far away. Thinking they are blasts of magical spells. Arthas thinks to himself quietly. \"Mages of the Kirin Tor no doubt...I must investigate this.."\ Arthas proceeds towards the district. At this distance. Ordo and his squad could see him from here by the frost left behind him and his glow of blue surrounding him.

[Vasiil]

Canderous spots the bulky black armored man and reaches up to his helmet speaking into it. Dog, Sikat. Check my mark. You two stay up here and cover me, I'm gonna go see what this freak is all about." Canderous scales the tower down and proceeds down to the street level. He walks to the middle of the street and stands there awaiting the armored figure to walk up on him.

[SlyCoopr]

As the group of Icons receive fire, Samus yells out "Find cover!" She moves into cover, returning fire with her arm cannon, bolts of yellow energy flying towards the soldiers as her power suit absorbs the damage.

Duke and Geralt dive behind cover. Duke grabs his shoulder and groans in anger. "Now I'm pissed off!" Geralt pulls out his crossbow "What kind of weapons are those?" Duke replies with his pride shining through "They're called guns and I use them to kick ass at a distance."

Geralt simply groans at Duke's response. Duke then says "Watch this." as he pops up from cover and begins firing his pistol at the soldiers*

Seattle, Highway 5, Northeast of the Industrial District

Khadgar rubs his eyes, his vision as he pushes himself to his feet, scanning the area around him "What is this place...?" He closes his eyes for a moment, tapping into his magical reserves, finding it extremely weaker than before, and that he cannot summon enough energy to utilize Arcane magic. That was going to prove a problem, however Khadgar was familiar with more schools of magic for such occasions. Looking around, he spots a shambling creature slowly moving towards him, moaning as it's tentacles swirl out at him. He takes a defensive posture, bringing his staff around as he swings it with both hands, the arcane infused staff slamming into the head of the creature and crushing bone, knocking it to the ground as it stops flailing. "Disgusting...I should try to find someone who's still alive, find out where I am." Using his staff as a walking stick, he proceeds Westward, heading down the main road as he does his best to avoid any unwanted attention.

The Skeletal soldiers made out of black organic skin quickly take cover as one of the soldier's helmet is shot off by Duke and take turns providing suppressive fire as continue to wear down the trio on the other side. They could notice that the bullets they fire have black, smokey trails to them. Hinting at their dangerous properties.

Arthas comes to a stop as he spots the man cladded in armor climbing down the tower. He raises his sword and slams it into the ground on it's point. Doing little damage to the blade but causing the ground to crack and freeze in frost. He speaks with a bellowing, bone-chilling voice "A human of faraway land...You are no knight of Lordaeron nor that of the Kirin Tor.." Arthas' voice goes dark as he says "But you reek of the living."

"Do you still have explosives?" Samus calls out as she ducks fully behind cover. Duke grabs a pipe bomb off of his bandolier. "Yeah, time to make those alien bastards pay."

"Then I will provide an opening!" Samus turns the corner, charging up a Charge Beam shot before firing it towards the soldier's cover, the large ball of energy flying towards them.

Duke bursts from cover and runs towards the soldiers, chucking a pipe bomb at them. "Blow it out your ass!"

One of the skeletal soldiers is blown away by the charge ball striking it's cover. The Soldiers quickly retreat while firing towards their charging foes. One of the soldiers is blown into a black mass of skeletal remains and goo while the last one takes cover behind a truck. It turns the corner and fires a round right at Duke's mass.

The Lich King remains waiting with his sword in the earth, Continuing to freeze the surrounding area around the tip of the cursed blade. Ordo says "Yeah, I'm living and you're to say what, you're not?" Arthas furrows his brow underneath his helmet saying "I no longer partake in the living, stranger in a strange land." The Lich King raises his blade up and quickly points it towards Ordo. Ordo instinctively raises his repeater The Lich King says "You will kneel before me, and serve me in undeath. Or you will be slain and raised against your will. In the end. You will be apart of my Scourge." Ordo says with a sigh "Look, Darth Deadman, I'm no Jedi Knight from...Lordaeron? And I don't want anything to do with your business either unless you can repay me with parts to repair my ship or equal credit value. If you're not then don't threaten me again or it will be the last thing you do on two feet." The Lich King says "....You speak in nothing but insanity, Human. I will release you from the curse that is life."

The Lich King raises his left fist and a array of bones erupt from the air in dark portals and quickly orbit around his figure. Blocking and incoming attacks. He steps forward and takes a hold of Frostmourne and swings it towards Ordo's leg. Ordo jumps onto the hood of a nearby car and fires down into the storm of bone fragments breaking them apart. Even more blaster fire comes from the top of a nearby building down at the armored figure. The Lich King raises a quick shield of frost but looks on in surprise as the shield is quickly weathered down. Seeing his reduced power and being outnumbers. He decides to swing his hand around to produce icy like fingers to grab the pole nearby and pull himself into the building across the street and into cover. Ordo stays ontop of the hood of the car, stepping across its windshield cracking it slightly, he scans entrances around the building The Lich King retreated into and speaks into his helmet "Meet me down here."
