Multi-Verse Heroes

" Oh? better cloaking technology? I always thought the metal look was iconic personally "

She giggled softly at the Fox yet as they passed through the door she found herself slowing. Her eyes drifting across the scene, to Nine first and then to the strange blue hedgehog. His coloration was slightly different, yet a part of her seemed to resonate with them. She could already tell who he was before she even saw the claw like nailes from his glove.

As for Nine, she didn't exactly know what to make of them. They were distinctly Tails of course, Yet not. She could never get a real read on them or how they felt about her in particular. Still her focus was on Al as he turned to face her. At first she didn't speak at all just letting her eyes drift over the new form and wondering if it was a hologram or something more advanced.

Yet she realized she was staring and averted her eyes for a moment with a giggle and a smile!

"Full android actually! Synthetic fur, skin, and quills. Can't even tell on first look it's not flesh and blood." Alphonse held out his hands for her to see. "Tails and Nine hooked me up with far future tech, the kind most dimensions won't see until Silver's era if not further! I'm still hooked up with all my equipment just...refined in new ways."

He finally felt like himself. Like he belonged in such a body. Not flesh and not normal steel but both and neither at the same time. He was well aware that he was going to confuse some people...maybe he should ask Nine to make him a set of shoes or something. Just a small thing to be able to tell him and the real Sonic apart at first look.

Just watching Al, one could see his new body's functions at work. The routine of breathing and blinking might be small for organics but it being automatic and not something one might think about was telling. Al was doing both and not really seeming aware of it. It was a simulation, sure. But it looked and felt real.

Yet the mention of demons left more questions than answers. No matter, the truth will come to light eventually.

"Usually the summoning of a demon requires a host and is merely temporary... But if you don't play by the rules, I guess that means you'll be sticking around for a while."

"These lands are in a state of change. They have become unfamiliar to even those who have called this their home for all of their short lives. With the Bishops of the Old Faith slain, the gates of Ewefall reopening once more, and the tide of The Rot beaten back; I can't say that I blame them, for so much as changed for myself."

Frisk, Frisk, Frisk...how was that child still so kind despite everything? She didn't know. Her little sibling didn't deserve the path that Chara now walked, so she left them be.

She listens to the rest of what the odd sheep has to say. Hmm... sounds similar to her old village. She had no clue what happened to them, frankly she didn't care. The people of that land followed a code of perfection or death...sometimes both. At least she got out when she had the chance all those centuries ago.

The grass was stained in blood, the carcasses of heretics and monsters splayed before the one wearing the Red Crown. Sword drawn in hand, they took a moment to catch their breath. Funny how even the all, powerful still could feel hints of exhaustion. Possibly part of the remnants of their body and soul that remained mortal. Regardless, The Lamb was safe, for the moment. At least, it appeared that way.

There was still one person left. There was something peculiar about them... They appeared to be female, but of what, the Lamb did not know. Out of all the critters and creatures they had come across, none of them looked like this one...

Interesting.

She wasn't sure how these little critters came across her name, but then again she'd been around for almost a thousand years by this point. There was always the chance that her legend somehow made the rounds. Still... what they asked of her made her mad. There was currently a blood bath a few clearings over, now she was trying to find her way out of here. This was not the island her home resided on...that was certian.

When she had heard battle, she had gone to investigate it...imagine her surprise to find a small sheep like creature being the one responsible for such a mess. Hmm...usually it was her painting spaces crimson. It was a curious change.

When they spoke to her however she wasn't sure what exactly they were talking about...sounded similar to things she was told long ago when she was much smaller. Mortal and locked away before her banishment. Humans were such nasty creatures...seems here is no better if they too had those that followed such wicked deities.

"I...have not heard such words in many years." Her voice was calm, sticking her hands in her pockets as her own red eyes watched the other being. "Actually, I follow no faith. I believe those fools in the red garb thought I was like other demons... but I am no pet. I am a beast of justice and vengeance. That was their mistake...."

"Hah, remind me never to get on your bad side!" Not that it was a particular concern of his; the two of them got along better than most, in his experience. But maybe he was just biased. Lucifer paused to place the two little foxes in his arms on the floor, letting them prance around to their heart's content, before reaching up to affectionately scratch under Bee's chin.

"It's Hell. A girl's gotta be willing to throw hands to keep herself and her loved ones safe down here." She gave a small shrug as she watched the kits dash off to go play in their little sandbox she had set up in the other room. "And my temper will never end with me lashing out at you, Lu. I can promise that. Although... my true demon form showing up? That's always a option if you want it."

She's flirting again, she loves him. No lie there.

No.

Kids.

Allowed.

Adult.

Zone.

" Oops... Sorry, didn't mean to intrude...."

The doctor nervously fidgeted with her lab quote nervously. She knows she's technically not doing anything wrong, but she always felt so awkward talking to, well, anyone?

" I think I misplaced my box of scalpel blades, and I wanted to see if they showed up in here?"

Tails, for his part, sighs and prepares to intervene in an inevitable altercation - until a seeming double of himself shows up. "...Aeolus?" is all he can think to say, slightly dumbfounded. But darn it if that's not a really cool name...

Nine still looks ready to have a mirror match with himself. "We're not--"

"--we're not exploring, exactly!" Tails cuts in.

Aeolus sets a hand on his companion's shoulder and Nine's growling stops, he glances up at the older fox for confirmation and seems less hostile. Still guarded however as he steps to the side to have a clearer view of the two. As for Aeolus however he gives a small shrug and chuckle when his alternate name is brought up.

"I've encountered more than a few other dimensional or even timeline variations of myself, it's easier to have a unique separate name that they can call me by." He clarifies why he uses that name. "Aeolus was the first thing that came to mind when an alternate asked me to pick another name. And for Nine here... it was easier for him to use it rather than my old childhood name. So...if he's more comfortable with it, I'm not gonna stop him."

Nine doesnt say anything at first, he just watches them both warily. He's gotten better about not jumping to conclusions but...he knows himself well enough to be guarded. When Tails says he doesnt recognize the island, he does speak up.

"Clover Island is only found in very very old dimensions, those touched by numerous temporal anomalies and events yet manage to endure." He explains the existence of this place flatly. "It is a safe haven for foxes like us. No one is aware it exists in this dimension, Aeolus has worked hard to ensure that."

"Aaaaahhhh... well..." A moment of hesitation, before he simply leaned against her chest. "Lets just say I... miiiiight have been tricked into becoming a battery for a giant angelic laser. I'm fine now, though! Everything is tooootally fine!"

Well...that was the first she was hearing of that. That couldn't have been fun. Still she pressed her muzzle to his cheek in a gentle nuzzle to comfort him. "Oh, Lu...I'm so glad you're okay. I know there was nothing I could have done at the time but if things get crazy again I can always send my hellhounds up there, and I'm sure there are a few imps that have some.....creative ideas for how to deal with sinners."

"Souls regenerate...."

What? Sometimes the stories up on earth sounded like a good idea. There was one book she'd picked up during her last time up there and...yeah it sounded like good ideas but sadly they couldnt really overhaul everything now. However she could come up with particularly painful sentences for those that messed with those she loved.

As for going to see Charlie she really should. By now she was sure Charlie had heard all about Bee and Lucifer being together. Bee could only hope Charlie was okay with that, she was...particularly attached to Lilith. Bee was dreading the day that woman returned to hell... but Charlie was a sweetheart. She adored that girl.
