Strikers: Monster, Scarlet Witch, Bruiser, Toxin, Loki, Crystal, Wave

Program: Wasp, Nova
-------------
You had been walking for a while now. You had no idea where you were even going at this point. The Sheirff didn't say anything unless it was to her men.

Your team was starting to get restless. You didn't blame them, either.

Loki: Where are you taking us, exactly? We've been walking for miles.

Sheriff: We'll be there soon enough, Asgardian. And believe me, you'll know.

She looked to you before she turned back. She really did seem to know you. She called you by name earlier.

But how? You didn't even know where you were.

Wanda: Monster.

You looked back to her.

Wanda: There magical energy here is....different. It's pure.

Crystal: And what does that mean?

Wanda: It means that we're nearing the source of the magic from our world. I believe I know where we are.

Y/N: You do?

Wanda nodded.

Wanda: We are.....

???: At the Starlight Citadel.

You all stopped and focused your attention up front. Indeed, there was a massive structure before you that wasn't there before. However, what really caught your eye was the person standing there.

A few yards in front of the Sheriff was a man dressed in pearl white armor.

Sheriff: Well, I'll be. You weren't lying after all.

Everyone turned to you as the knight stepped forward.

The knight that looked exactly like you.

Y/N?: We've been expecting you all. Welcome.

Monster:
Cabal War

You and your team stood by and watched as the council gathered.

However, things seemed to be....hostile.

Merlin: You're weak, Saturnyne.

The you of this world stood next to the apparent ruler of the place. You saw him reach for the handle of his sword.

Saturnyne: Don't strike him down, Guardian. Let the foolish old man speak.

Knight Y/N: No, my lady, I wouldn't lose my temper over such an empty threat.

You looked around at all who were gathered. Sheirff Whitechapel even had a seat on the council. But what really threw you off was Merlin.

From what you knew, he was one of the most powerful magic users known to man. What we he doing making threats?

Merlin: The first wise thing you've ever said. Now stay wise and go sit down.

The Otherworld you narrowed his eyes at him. You could tell there was bad blood there.

Knight Y/N: What is the meaning of such hostilities, Merlin? Once you and I were allies. Can you not stand behind my family once more?

Merlin: Behind your family? My dear boy, I am Merlin. I have stood beside the Starlight Citadel but I stand behind no one. And what has happened to this parliament is why: mere moons ago this whole Citadel trembled. Trembled! And for what? I know the dangers of hosting these realities. Time was I was the Omniversal Guardian.

Sheriff: Yes. I've been meaning to ask, but how did you lose that gig? Tell US real slow. I wanna listen.

Roma: My father won't tell you how he lost. But I would love to.

Loki nudged you.

Loki: Are you feeling like we're missing something important here?

Y/N: Yeah. Like, do bras exist here?

You both giggled before Wanda struck you both with a quick spell.

Merlin: Hear me now, Otherworld! The Countexes of Sevalith speaks the truth. Saturnyne has allowed these Witchbreed to test her limits and run roughshod in her court. The fair and foul courts turn on the axis of the Citadel. If she can not defend it, then we all will suffer. I have warned you! The wizard Merlin speaks!

Saturnyne simply drank from her glass.

Saturnyne: Yes, well, when isn't he speaking? This meeting is adjourned. I have other matters to tend to.

Merlin pulled his cloak over himself and turned to leave. The other council members hang around and shared some light conversation.

You looked over to this world's you who signaled for you to come over. You and your team approched him and Saturnyne. However, as you grew closer, you began to catch bits of their conversation.

Knight Y/N: We still have no word on Camelot. I fear we may have lost it.

Saturnyne: Damn. That was the final stronghold before they reached the Crooked Market.

Y/N: Camelot?

The two turned to face you and your team. Saturnyne looked at you them at her Y/N.

Knight Y/N: Yes.

Y/N: Oh, well, yeah. It's gone. Morgan the wicked Witch has it all to herself.

The two reacted in surpised by this. Was this news to them?

Saturnyne: How do you know this?

Wanda: We just arrived from there. She has sieged control on Camelot. King Arthur is missing as well. And now, she has control of Captain Britan.

Saturnyne: What?!

Knight Y/N: Brian? How is that possible?

Loki: Magic.

Y/N and Saturnyne looked at each other. He placed a hand on her shoulder, and she responded by placing her hand on his. She seemed upset about the news.

Saturnyne: I see. Then, Merlin truly did declare war. This is much worse than I originally believed.

Crystal looked to you. Surely you had a plan for all of this, right? You couldn't just leave Brian behind. You couldn't just let Otherworld tear itself apart.

Plus, Taskmaster had been Herr. He was surely behind all of this. Somehow.

Y/N: We can help you. We can fight. In our world we're known as the Strikers. Fighting big threats is our specialty.

Saturnyne looked to this world's you. He seemed hesitant to accept your help. But he felt it when you all arrived. He knew that help had arrived.

Knight Y/N: Very well.

He then turned to Saturnyne.

Knight Y/N: My lady, allow me to bring them along to my next mission. I feel that they could provide use in this war.

Saturnyne: You know I'll always trust your judgment, love. Take what you need from the armory. And, Godspeed.

You and your team were a bit surpised by that "love" part, but at least you were making some kind of progress.

Molly stared at the explosive devices before her. Nadia was giving a report to the police while Sam hung near the youngest Striker.

They made it just in time to stop the blast. The kids were now safe with their parents. They did it. They saved them.

But their work was far from over.

Sam: This isn't over, is it?

Molly: No. Apoth is still out there. I just don't know where.

Sam looked over to Nadia and sighed.

Sam: I'll go. Nadia stays.

Molly eyed him.

Molly: You speak for her?

Sam: I know her. You don't know either of us. She's a soldier. You give her an order and she follows it. She's been working too hard to find some sense of peace. She deserves it.

Molly: And what do you deserve?

Sam didn't say anything. It was mostly because he didn't know what he deserved. He had been a hero longer than you have, yet he still didn't know why.

Molly didn't really need an answer either. She understood. She didn't even know why she chose to become a hero in the first place.

Her parents were dead. Their evil was no more. Yet she still fought. She was still here.

Sam: When do we leave?

Molly: Now. I think I know where to go for information.

The magical pig stared at the sharp blade with wide, scared eyes. He watched as it rose to the sky, and came down.

It broke the lock on his shackles.

Pearl: You're free! Go do fairy stuff.

Crystal: Hurry, before the guards wake. Down the stairs and out. You can't come with us.

Your team worked as fast as they could to free as many "prisoners" as you could. You had joined this world's you on his mission to Merlin's tower. Yes. You were inside Merlin's tower.

In the cells and shackles were fairies, creatures, and common folk who spoke out against the wizard. Those who expressed their support for Saturnyne.

Pearl: I thought Merlin was, like, a friendly wizard. Sour bowls and owls and stuff. What the hell happened here?

Knight Y/N: I don't know. Before I became the Guardian, Merlin was my strongest ally. He's always been frickle and tricky. But something in him has changed from before. And I don't know if this wasn't the real Merlin all along.

Loki: I saw we take him on. Free the prisoners and blew this whole tower to bits.

Y/N: We can't do that. I'm pretty sure everyone in here is a prisoner. Besides, we don't know what we're dealing with here. Until we do, we keep our heads down.

Loki just groaned. He then threw a knife whoch freed another fairy.

Knight Y/N lead you all through the dungeons and hallways. Your mission wasn't just to free these people. You needed to find out what Merlin was doing.

And if he was connected to Morgan.

You all made it to the top of the tower where your path became blocked by a pair of massive wooden doors. Knight Y/N examined it before he sighed.

Knight Y/N: These are his chambers. He isn't in here, and they're locked. I can hear something in there.

Wanda: Looks like a magic lock. Uf you try to break it, it'll seal the entire door off.

Knight Y/N: Not to worry. I'll scan around for which guard has the keys and convince them to help.

Loki: No need.

You all watched as Loki approched the door. He began to crack his fingers before he reached into one of his pouches.

He then pulled out a deck of cards.

Loki: Lady Saturnyne said that we could take whatever we'd like.

He then threw a card right at the lock. You all covered your eyes and protected yourselves in case something happened.

However, the lock began to spin and change once the card hit it. And then, it fell right off.

Pearl: What the hell?

Loki: I figured these cards did what they said. This one means luck.

Knight Y/N: Lucky indeed. Good work, Asgardian.

You all entered the room and looked around. Windows surrounded the entire room, allowing you to see the land around you. The red skies were covered in dark clouds. Scarlet lighting raged all over.

Knight Y/N looked at the well in the center of the room and realized what it was. He approached it as you and Wanda examined the room.

Y/N: Hey, Wanda, what do you think is going on here? You know some history of Otherworld, right?

Wanda: Very little. But it appears that Taskmaster had come in and drew lines. Saturnyne against Morgan. I suppose Merlin chose Morgan.

Knight Y/N: Strikers.

You all looked to the older you. He signaled for you all to come over to him. You all surrounded the well and looked inside.

You could hear whispers. But, they were really more like echos. Not actually people.

Pearl: What is this?

Knight Y/N: The waters of all reality. With it, I can send you all back to your world. Perhaps you can bring back your forces.

Y/N: Wait, really? Yeah. That would awesome!

Knight Y/N nodded.

Knight Y/N: Here.

He reached into his pocket and pulled out a small bottle. He then dipped it into the water and collected some.

He handed it to Wanda.

Knight Y/N: This will help you travel back and forth. You know where the Starlight Citadel is.

Wanda: Thank you.

Y/N: Let's go. And when we come back, we'll make sure we'll  put a stop to this.

Knight Y/N: Thank you. I will await your return. Now go before Merlin arrives.

You nodded. Wanda began to open a portal with the help of the water. Once it was open, you all surrounded it.

Y/N: We'll be back. I promise.

Knight Y/N nodded. Then, you all stepped through.
