June stood quietly, observing the crowd's reactions and contributing nothing of value except for a small nod of understanding as she waits for Glinda to continue.

Most days of Aria’s life tend to consist of her doing the same list of things. Wake up, hunt in the mountains surrounding her nest, eat, drink some water from the nearby springs, maybe do some singing to entertain herself, and back to sleep when night falls. Seeing a big, metal... something or other come crashing down out of the sky? Decidedly not on that list. Not one to pass up on an opportunity for something interesting (and because the impact scared the mountain goat she was about to ambush anyways), the curious harpy changed course and swooped down to the crash site to get a look around. Upon landing and surveying the wreckage she found what looked to be a long dead human, a yellow thing too full of static electricity to be worth taking a bite out of, and... a metal person? That last one in particular seemed off somehow (besides the obvious), but she certainly wasn’t going to get any answers out of it likes this, so without any better options she sat by the metal figure and began to hum a soothing tune, hoping it would get them back on their feet faster. As Aria continues singing, the "metal body" starts twitching as some sort of red gem falls from it, starts to glow, levitate, then circle around the armored humanoid. Suddenly, the gem shoots some energy at the person, it's body seemingly becoming pure energy, as it changes form completely, becoming a tall white haired man with a long scar along it's left eye (Geralt), two longswords appear on the back of the human, but they don't seem to be made of any physical material, instead made into grid-like green energy. Admin, in his new form, looks around, confused, using all his energy to stand back up, too weak to immediately react to anything around him. The gem enters his body on it's own. |

Aria stared in confusion as the metal man became... well, not metal anymore. Soon the now decidedly normal looking human slowly stood up as some kind of red rock flew into him, but Aria quickly noticed that he didn’t seem to even react to her being there. In response to this the curious harpy raised a single wing up and waved it in front of his face.
“Hello? Are you ok? That was one heck of a fall you and that thing took.”

---CRASH SITE, UNKNOWN LOCATION---
Admin, still weak, was so surprised by someone talking that he fell to the ground in a sitting position. Blinking awkwardly, he contemplated what seemed to be a harpy.
"You talk, which means you must be friendly... Right?!"
He stood up again, glancing at Malefio and Jolteon.
"Well... Hum... I don't think I'm okay... We got blasted by some kind of bright energy and... To be frank, I'm not sure how we still exist.
With that said, the skeleton guy is supposed to be invincible... I have no idea how it's possible for him to be unconscious...
My yellow friend will need actual health care...
As for me, I think right now all I need is a piece of food and I'll start to slowly regenerate...
Which brings me to my actual question...
Where are we?"

Aria was momentarily confused by the statement that the skeleton was still alive, but dismissed it as not worth worrying about right now.
“Well, right now we’re pretty close to Yggdrasil. Closest town is... uh...”
Aria stared out into the distance surveying the land before pointing a wing out into the distance towards Kibiro.
“...That way. They’ll have some food, and probably someone who can help your yellow thing. Hey, why don’t I go with you? Most of the really nasty things around here don’t do a lot of hunting at this hour, but it never hurts to have another pair of eyes, right?”
Besides, this is WAY more interesting than just flying around looking for goats or something.

Throne Room
Seeing that the Outlanders didn't have any questions to field, Alvis stepped forward. "If I may, your majesty, I wish to direct your attention to a rather important matter... Lady Morgan, may you please step here a moment?"
Morgan turns beat Red as she is being summoned by Mr. Alvis.
"What do I say?". "Umm I wasn't expecting to be called out in front of everyone,". "Plus it's Mr. Alvis too,". "No this is just a test right,". "No time to lose my nerves now,". "I got this?". "No I got this," Morgan thinks to herself.
Morgan nervously makes her way towards Mr. Alvis and Queen Glinda. Morgan does her best to avoid looking at all of the eyes that she feels like are staring at her. Morgan settles on looking at Lana and trying not to focus on the others around her.
What feels like an eternity Morgan finally reaches Alvis's side, preparing for the worse.
"I believe you found some peculiar cards in your possession that you have never seen before?" Alvis said.
Morgan seems flustered for a completely different reason. She's glad that she's not about to be called out in front of everyone. Yet, Morgan is nervous about looking at those cards again. Morgan drops her purse out of sheer nervousness. Morgan quickly picks up her purse and hastily tries to open the zipper where the cards were. Morgan then finally takes out the cards and hands them to Mr. Alvis.
"The wordsmiths and dealers of old are said to have used cards to conjure their abilities," Alvis explained as he showed the cards to Glinda. "While it is obvious that the Outlanders here took corporeal forms, others may have taken forms similar to these cards, perhaps an unintended side-effect of the interrupted ritual. There may be a method for them to regain their forms, though this is all conjecture."
Glinda thought as she held one of the cards. "Interesting... Perhaps we could find a clue within Cia's research notes... however..."
Both the queen and her general knew it wouldn't amount to much... Cia's handwriting is notorious for being what can be generously described as difficult to decipher.
There will be a need for additional Morpheo stones after all.
Glinda nodded and returned the card she held to the Outlander girl. "Thank you, Morgan. You, and any others that may have found such cards, may continue holding onto these. I will consult with our researchers, and perhaps we shall call upon volunteers to assist, later."
Alvis returned the cards he had and gestured to her that she may return back to the audience.
"I will not lie to you," Glinda said, addressing the entire crowd of Outlanders, "there will almost certainly be a battle to claim such territory. To that end..."
Glinda held up a staff. A large portal opened up behind the crowd. At the other side laid the interior of a large, dome-shaped room with sandy floors. "I have arranged for you to have access to one of our training grounds. Most of you have only just met, so I believe it best that before anything else, introductions are performed. And, if you so desire, you may use this facility to demonstrate any abilities that may be useful to your unit.
Do you have any questions, before we step through the rift?"

Lana and Morgan
Lana steps forward and motions towards Morgan to come join her side. Morgan nervously makes her way back next to Lana, Alvis, and Glinda. Morgan again seems to be beat Red and tries her best not to stand out.
"If no one has any objections I would like to see Ms. Morgan go first,". "She is about to have a very important duty placed upon her,". "So I would like to see what she is capable of," Lana asks the Outlanders present.
"W w w wait you want me to go first?" Morgan stammers out.
Lana places an arm around Morgan's shoulder. "Why yes I would,". "Your about to have a huge responsibility placed upon you,". "I remember seeing you already in your other form when we first met,". "But I want to see what this form is capable of,". "Please senpai will you go first for me," Lana asks Morgan.
Morgan is still beat Red and she seems to be sweating. Lana leans towards Morgan and begins to whisper to her. "Besides I bet you will impress Mr. Grumpy pants over here if you do good," Lana whispers to Morgan.
Morgan gulps and grabs her key in hand but doesn't activate it.
"Okay Lana I will go first then,". "Of course if that's okay with everyone here present," Morgan asks everyone present.
Lana smiles and seems to be satisfied with her response.
"Oh my god they are all staring,". "It feels like so many eyes staring at me,". "I wonder if I should say anything now about being retainer,". "No that can wait,". "But it will be embarrassing transforming in front of everyone,". "No this is for Lana, and to prove myself to her, Mr. Alvis, and myself," Morgan thinks to herself
Morgan is nervously running her hands through her purse when she feels the second soul key.
"Oh right Lana I have something to give you later tonight,". "Make sure you pay attention to my demonstration,". "Because you might be able to do the same thing,". "Well I hope you can," Morgan whispers to Lana.
Lana smirks and she seems to like what she heard. Lana's also curious as to why she would have to pay attention to Morgan's performance. Lana's also curious as to what Morgan has to give her.

Sonic
"I am all for a demonstration of our abilities,". "Oh and no sweat about Morgan going first,". "Plus I am all for helping you guys out with your situation,". "I do have one question though Ms. Queen and Alvis," Sonic says to Glinda and Alvis.
"After we are done with our demonstration,". "Mind if I take a quick tour around Oz,". "If I am going to be here for a while I want to see what this place has in store,". "Shouldn't take long to take a quick lap around here,". "Of course I would be careful not to get into too much trouble,". "But it would help if I can see everything first hand," Sonic says to Glinda and Alvis.
"Also who knows maybe I will find more of my chaos Emeralds or other Outlanders out there,". "Also no need to worry about me no one can match me when it comes to speed,". "So how about it mind if I head out and explore the area once our demonstrations are done?" Sonic asks Alvis and Glinda.

Throne Room
"Errmm... I suppose that would be acceptable," Glinda said.
"We would require a method of contacting you should the need arise, however," Alvis said. "...And perhaps a map of sorts. The palace may be grand, but it is not so easy to locate from greater distances. I will make arrangements."
John Doe looked around, seeing that everyone seemed to be waiting on everyone else to finally step through the portal. He sighed and took point, stepping through. Looking around, a few soldiers in uniform stood close by. A few of them stood near what appeared to be electronic consoles. Target dummies and a number of practice weapons were piled up nearby.
As the other Outlanders began lining up to step through, Jonathan Sterling saw Gareth (that was his name, right?) looking back at him. He smirked and tipped his hat at the feller. He nodded a silent 'thank you' before turning to the portal.
Once the bulk of the audience had left, Sterling walked over to the queen and mage general.
"General Sterling," Glinda said. "I had heard you had made your arrival. How are you?"
Sterling drew his hat to his chest and bowed respectfully. "Survivin', your highness. I wanted to deliver my report."
"This is about those Dalish refugees you were surveying, correct?" Alvis said.
"Yessir," Sterling said. "Good news, the civilians got away from Mason's little attack. Bad news, a bunch of the soldiers staying behind went down with the stronghold. Also bad news: we couldn't assassinate Mason."
"Mason is a formidable adversary," Glinda said. "I did not expect that he would be felled so easily, even by one as skilled as you. But I believed you encountered an Outlander during this?"
"Yep," Sterling replied. "Right in the middle of the stronghold. Had to improvise a lil' to get 'im out in one piece, teleported to Garanwood, then rented a wagon the rest of the way to try to ease the feller into this new world. Had to get loud though, and the Dalish might not like how we came in with the assist... 'course, the Dalish don't like us much in the first place."
Alvis sighed to himself. "I don't suppose the refugees were willing to explain their next course of action?"
"Nope," Sterling answered. "Best we can tell is that they're headed northwest, a lil' deeper into the territory. Hopefully not too close to the local abomination infestation; they lost a lot of men."
"...I will try to send another envoy," Glinda said. "I know not all in the Nightingdale council are prejudiced. We just need to find an explanation for what is transpiring within their lands... Very well Sterling. You are to continue monitoring the area. You are dismissed."
Sterling tipped his had and walked off.

Location: Somewhere in Eastern Oz
Within the cavern that served as the shaman's home, kept lit by ether lamps hung by the ceiling, the robed man smirked at the return of his gaslike phantom.
"Do you have it?"
The phantom hissed. To anyone else, it was unintelligible. To the shaman, who wore the phantom's ring,
"Yeah, here, whatever. MY FLOPPING ARM'S OFF, DISMISS ME SO I CAN HEAL!"
The shaman took the cards and dismissed the phantom as requested, the mist flowing into a ring the on his finger. He chuckled as he observed the cards. He didn't seem to mind that the three of them were blank. For his lord, they would be welcome all the same. He took them outdoors from his home and spaced them evenly apart on a stone slab. Chanting, he ran his hand over the three cards, a trail of shadow coursing from his fingertips into the cards themselves.
"Hear me, Dark Lord! Those who harbor the greatest of magic, I call upo--"
The three cards came to life early. One shine later, and the shaman stumbled to the floor as two humanoid figures and a smaller ball of fur suddenly materialized right in front of him, sitting on the stone slab they were on.
"--you might end up breaking your.... spoon..."
The shaman stood motionless as the two larger figures stood up and looked around to see where they were. Once they saw the shaman, though, the two humans (at least, the bulky one was human. The one with the helmet with an 'E' on it could be an alien for all he knew) took our firearms and pointed them at him. The smaller creature scurried behind a rock, holding a small box of sorts.
"W-Well, it looks like you three came early. No matter."
The puffer-fish-headed one suddenly jumped and froze in shock. The other feminine humanoid gradually lowered her twin uzi.
"Good! Good! You're obedient! Then--"
The shaman also froze after feeling a tremor and some pounding behind him. As the two humanoids he summoned slowly backed away from him, he slowly turned around to see a giant beast leering at him with empty, golden eyes. The shaman felt an icy chill as the beast snorted in his face.
"Alright... SOMEONE'S gonna have to explain what the hell just happened!"
The shaman quivered in fear as he rattled his brain for words to say. He looked back to see the other humans a good distance away from him; the feminine figure having put away one of her two guns to carry the small kitten(?) with them. The kitten kept drinking from its juice box as it stared at the dragon.
"I- We- Listen to me!" yelled the shaman. "I-I-I-I brought you here to another world; called Oz! A-An-And I learned from this grimoire how to summon you folks! So I used dark magic to summon you and make you my servants to do my master's bidding and create--"
The beast laughed. A great number of snowflake-like creatures came into view, hovering around the frozen beast from another world, looking around... save for one who seemed perfectly content to just spin in place.
"Really? You really think somebody like me is willing to take orders? From a boneless little pipsqueak like yourself?!"
"Yes! I mean no! I mean--"
Emma anticipated what was about to happen and turned to shield Mimi's eyes.
The shaman couldn't get another syllable out, as a large spike made of ice formed out of the ground and impaled him through the chest from below. The spike then retracted into the ground as the beast roared, raised a leg, and stomped over the shaman, leaving a bloody stain and crushed ring on the floor.

Aria was momentarily confused by the statement that the skeleton was still alive, but dismissed it as not worth worrying about right now. “Well, right now we’re pretty close to Yggdrasil. Closest town is... uh...” Aria stared out into the distance surveying the land before pointing a wing out into the distance towards Kibiro. “...That way. They’ll have some food, and probably someone who can help your yellow thing. Hey, why don’t I go with you? Most of the really nasty things around here don’t do a lot of hunting at this hour, but it never hurts to have another pair of eyes, right?” Besides, this is WAY more interesting than just flying around looking for goats or something.Admin turned towards the aforementioned town, glaring at it for a few seconds, then looking around at all the destruction around him. "We should indeed move, either this crash made creatures flee, or it lured them here. If the second case is true, we need to move now... Just know that I am not allowed to help you in any of your personal business. Of course, if we are attacked, I will work with you as a team though. With that said, I know I'm eager to start moving, but I'd like to know what kind of town we're going towards first... ---Vitcity, Beach--- Morgan wasn't at the date she prepared herself when Julia arrived at the restaurant yesterday... At first, the blonde teen thought that her best friend just fled the scene in fear, knowing how emotional she was, but Julia is not the type to trust theories instead of fact. She spent an entire day asking everyone she had contact with if they knew what happened to Morgan and no one had any answers. Julia waited for the morning to get an answer, but Morgan didn't show up to school either... The self-proclaimed detective knew something was wrong and she had no leads to follow... So she had one option left: ask her only contact she didn't interrogate yet: Galleon. Maybe Morgan got kidnapped by a guardian from the Other World. Maybe Galleon has a lead... That's the only thing Julia had left to do. Therefore, she prepared her backpack, grabbed her Soul Key and waited for night, when the portal would open. She was prepared for another 24-hour spent in the other world if she had to. The last time might have ended up being captured by Galleon, but her plan led to him becoming her friend. The portal opened at midnight like usual, but it's color was different... It was dark brown. Julia just took it as an omen that she was right and that something related to the Other World happened to Morgan. However, as Julia entered the portal, she got a vision of a giant tree she did not recognise and passed out before seeing where she ended up... |

“Oh, uh... I dunno.” Aria raised a wing up, placing it on her chin in a thinking pose. “I’ve only been there once, and everyone was too busy freaking out about not wanting to be eaten to really say anything about what the place is like. I remember it being a pretty small town, but that’s all I had time to find out before the angry guys with swords showed up.”

Lana and Morgan
Lana makes her towards Morgan to see how she is doing.
"So you ready to show your moves?" Lana asked Morgan.
Morgan seems fidgety and kinda of nervous about going first. "Umm yeah kinda of Senpai?". "It's just well there is a lot of people here and I am really nervous about everyone watching," Morgan says to Lana.
"Oh is that all,". "Don't think of you showing everyone what your doing,". "Think of it as you showing me what you can do,". "Since you are going to be my personal retainer," Lana says to Morgan.
Morgan still seems kinda of nervous and is nervously fidgeting with her soul key.
"Oh what was it you wanted to tell me,". "You said it was something related to your performance,". "You mentioned it was something I should pay special attention to,". "Now what could you possibly mean,". "Is it just because your going to be my retainer,". "Or is there another reason why I should pay attention?". "You wouldn't have any other reason would you?" Lana asked Morgan.
Morgan began to blush at what Lana was suggesting. Lana's fingers bumped into the second soul key in her possession. Morgan waited for the others to pass by her and pulled Lana aside. Morgan wanted to make sure no one was around before she addressed Lana.
"When I dropped my purse earlier I found something unusual,". "As you know I have my soul key that allows me to transform into another form to fight like I normally couldn't,". "Well I found a second Soul Key in my possession,". "It belongs to someone I never heard of before but it feels familiar in a sense,". "I want to give it to you,". "It's happened before where another was given a soul key and was able to wield it as their own,". "I was hoping you could wield it," Morgan says to Lana.
Lana seems a little surprised at what Morgan said to her. "Wait what are you saying?". "Are you saying that I might be able to wield a Soul Key?" Lana asked Morgan.
"That's what I am hoping since just about anyone can wield it in my world,". "I am not sure how it would work with you since your from a completely different world,". "But I was going to give it to you tonight and well there's no harm in trying,". "That's one of the things I was hoping to talk to you about later," Morgan said to Lana.
"I have so many questions but chances are your about to answer them,". "Well then good luck with your demonstration,". Lana says to Morgan.
Morgan is about to leave before Lana pulls Morgan into her embrace and gives her another quick kiss on her cheek. Morgan pulls back softly and her face is beat red. Morgan begins to talk in Japanese again.
"That was for good luck Morgan Senpai," Lana says to Morgan.
Morgan makes her way towards the center of the group of Outlanders and she has her soul key in hand.
Lana makes her way off to the side where the Outlanders are. Lana then starts to remember what Morgan said. "Wait what does she mean one of the things?" Lana wondered.

Morgan
Morgan with her Soul Key in hand makes her way towards the center of everyone. Morgan takes a couple of seconds to take a couple of deep breaths.
"Well hello umm everyone my name is err umm Morgan?". "I come from a place called Vitcity,". "I am a high school student and umm well before I came to Vitcity I came from a place called Japan,". "Umm right so your probably not really worried about that," Morgan tells everyone while nervously fidgeting with her Soul Key.
"Your probably wondering what my abilities are,". "Well umm I am pretty good at the martial arts,". "I have been trained to umm wield some weapons,". "But well my real ability comes when I use this to transform into my other world form," Morgan holds the key high for everyone to see.
"In my home world there is a secret alternate world me and my worlds explore,". "This key allows me to transform into a form that allows me to fight beings, beasts, and other creatures I normally couldn't," Morgan then places the key in her hand.
"Well I guess it's time I show everyone what I mean," Morgan then grabs her key.
The Soul Key begins to glow brightly in her hands. The light flows from Morgan's hand and it begins to cover Morgan's arm in a bright light. Eventually, the light completely covers Morgan and she is bathed in a bright white light.
First the shoes Morgan was wearing is transformed into a straw sandal and white socks. As the light begins to recede the skirt Morgan was wearing transformed into Black, kinda of loose fitting pants. Morgan's shirt she was wearing turns all Black and a White thick looking coat forms around her. The White Coat has the symbol for Fire in Japanese on the back. Morgan's arms are covered by a pair of long white fingerless gloves. Morgan's hair turns into a bright Pink color and a red scarf then covers the lower part of her face. Finally, the Soul Key she was wearing transforms into a huge blade with a slit going down the center, the hilt of the sword looks like a revolver with a trigger inside.
Morgan's transformation complete she lowers her scarf to be able to talk to everyone "Well this is my transformed form,". "Before I begin does anyone have any questions?,". "I might know everything about the Soul Key but I will answer all questions as best as I can," Morgan tells everyone in attendance.
