Alternate Universe (Roleplay here.)

Minea was hunting a rabbit deep in the depths of the forest. She was running low on food in the camp she had made not too far from where she was, so she decided to explore and hunt a little before all of her food was gone. She was hiding behind a few closely packed bushes and was waiting for the rabbit to move just a little bit further out into the open. She took out one of her throwing knives and readied herself as the rabbit moved closer to her desired location. Right when she was about to kill it, it suddenly disappeared. She stood there for a few seconds, shocked by what just happened. Then, she rubbed her eyes and walked cautiously over to where the rabbit had disappeared. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary. She looked for possible escaped routes it could've had to make it hasty escape, but she found none and when she closed her eyes to observe the space around her though sound alone, she could not hear the creature. She looked around once more and began to walk around the small clearing randomly. Once she had reached the exact place where the rabbit had been, she felt a rather odd sensation. There was a bright light and everything seemed to be moving around her at an extremely fast pace. She lost all sense of where she was and could only tell that she was moving, and fast. Just as quickly as this whole episode had began, it stooped, and she fell face first on the forest floor. However, the forest in this place looked different from where she had been not even a minute ago. She slowly stood up, still a little dizzy from whatever had just happened to her, and inspected her surroundings closer. She was right, she wasn't in the same place as she was before, but where exactly was she? As far as she could tell, she was in the same forest, but the forest generally didn't looked the same, so she couldn't really make too many assumptions. She was about to start walking back to her camp, when she heard some nearby bush rustle. She took out a throwing knife, just in case it was the rabbit she had lost earlier, and somewhat softly, but firmly asked, "Hello? Is anybody there?" Suddenly there was another rustle in the bushes, this time much closer to her, and out ran the rabbit at full speed. She immediately raised her hand to throw her knife, but she was stopped when another landed just a few feet in front of her and where the rabbit had been just a moment ago. She immediately turned in the direction that it was thrown and yelled, "You could've killed me! Be more careful next time! Also, that was my prey!" At the same time another voice that sounded surprisingly familiar said, "Hey! You messed up my hunt! I was gonna have that for lunch!" Once they locked eyes, they both froze. the reason why the voice sounded familiar was because it was her voice. The person who had stolen her hunt looked, dressed, and sounded exactly like her. After a moment of silence they both yelled at each other in one loud voice, "Who the hell are you?"

~Le posting~


Yuuki had blacked out. She didn't know HOW, but it was pretty obvious, seeing as how she was floating in a huge empty black ball of space. There was nothing around her; it was completely dark. But somewhere in the difference, a small ball of light began growing slowly. She stared at it, mystified. I see the light..... Ew, that sounds really cliche. The ball slowly grew bigger and bigger, before it fully engulfed her in a flash of blinding light.

The brown-haired shinobi immediately snapped up to her free falling. Well, that wouldn't' really be accurate. More like tumbling through a long vortex tube. Dimensional travel? she thought suspiciously. The portal opened at the end, and she was thrown out rather violently. But being someone with excellent reflexes, she was able to right herself in midair, and land in a crouch. Eyes narrowed, she surveyed the room around her. It was a living room, and it looked suspiciously like her own team's living room in HQ. (*COUGH*AU*COUGH*) She tensed, ready to grab her hidden weapons at any time.

Dawn grunted in defeat, landing with a loud thump as she fell to her knees after her ninty-seventh lap. Exaustion ran through her blood as she rolled sideways onto the tarmac of the training grounds, laying eaglespread in the darkening day. Blood from her cuts, cold sweats, and choked tears mixed together in a sickening pool of red as she lay there, time seeming to slow down as she took time just to think. Curling up, she closed her eyes, breathing-in heavily.
Suddenly, she leapt up, a burst of energy bursting for seemingly nowhere. Her eyes seemed to fade to a red, matching her armour and weapons. She felt the world ripple around her as she did, her vision fading black. When her eyes opened again, she saw the base being eaten by... Darkness?
This wasn't right.
She watched the pitch black close in on her, slowly, but surely, devouring the landscape. Then, as she stepped backwards, she felt a tugging sensation at her naval, as if she was being pulled back by a sting attactched to her stomach. Her weapons flew out of her hands, not being able to resist the strong tugging sensation behind her. They fell into the consuming blackness before her. Next, she was swept off her feet, seemingly sucked into the black unknown, before she was promptly thrown onto the floor of the training grounds.
Except, it wasn't the training grounds.

Davis had been quite happily going about her daily routine, skipping about, looking for inspiration, fluffy animals, and the occasional junk to sell, humming quietly to herself. As she emerged from some tallish bushes, she saw a pile of weapons scattered across the forest floor, all bright red in colour. There were a few guns of various shapes and sizes, a mighty fine long sword, and an interesting looking shield-type thing. But what really caught her attention was the armoured woman in the center of it all, doubled over, clutching her stomach, breathing ragged and heavy. Her eyes widened and she hated herself for the thought that came up next.
"Ruby-?"
She watched as the head slowly came to look at hers, expression pained and hurt. What had this woman been through to seem so, so lost? Davis soon noticed the cuts and bruises from her extreme training and saw her weak attempt to stand. As the woman once again began to crumple, Davis swept her up, catching her right before she hit the floor. Her bright blue eyes seemed to strain to stay open.
The way the early morning light hit her face, the swirling beauty her sky blue eyes-
No. Davis. You barely know her. Stop.
Just then, the heavy eyelids gave in to the temptation to fall closed and Davis just chuckled, laying her out gently on the ground.

(kill me)
(Multi-dimentional tears? Oh god!)

Hiashi had just come back from a mission and walked into headquarters with his hands full of bags of money and wanted posters that he had taken down. He promptly threw away the wanted posters of his fellow team members and placed the money in a giant safe, changing the code to it as he did every time he opened it. Once he was done he moved toward the board where all of the possible missions they could take hung and pulled down the one he had just finished. Before he threw that paper away in the same trash can he threw the wanted posters in, he hung 3 more papers with possible missions on the board. He stepped back and admired his work, making sure that everything was based upon date and award price. He was about to head to his office for some of his more private affairs when he noticed that Yuuki was in the living room. He popped in to say 'hi' and noticed that she was in very uncharacteristic garb and seemed to be on edge. He decided that it would be best if he kept his distance from her for now, just in case she decided to freak out and cut off his head or hurt him in some other fashion. "Yuuki, what's up with the new outfit? I never thought that you would ever wear something so... unfashionable. Also, why do you seem so on edge? Did you think that I was an intruder or something?"

---Askus---
Askyus was sitting next to a stream, a shard of Cybus in one hand and a shard of Aver in the other.
It was peaceful to sit out here. To wait the days away, to contemplate his next move.
What could possibly await him, searching for an ancient and long forgotten home?
Two thousand years and more he was here. Lying in the dirt, trying to understand his existence. The wet, dark grey Cybus shard slipped from his hand and into the rapidly flowing stream.
"Hey!"
He got up to his feet and began to morph into a large cheetah, holding the Aver in his mouth. His torso fell forwards, the joints in his arms and legs re-articulating to fit the stance of a cheetah. Most of his head most slipped back, leaving a smooth, much smaller and aerodynamic head.
His metal feet clanged against the wet rocks as he frantically sprinted down the stream, trying to catch the shard.
The mountain was steep in this area, and the water didn't help his grip on the smooth rocks, barely avoiding a large boulder.
He almost had it-
When he was suddenly stopped by a wall of titanium.

---Sky---

Emperor Sky had instantly recognised the prized jewel of the Cybus race as it bounced and slid it's way through the water, straight into his grasp.
"Interesting. What would such a gem be doing out here, on this strange planet?"
He obscured the gem in his left fist."This will be useful for me to figure out what this human infested dirtball is, and how to get out of here."
The loud sound of titanium hitting rock caught his attention. It was rhythmic, and he could easily tell whatever was moving towards him was fast and four legged.
But didn't expect it to suddenly appear from behind a boulder and trigger his reflexes, diving into the arc of his large, swinging fist.
For something made out of so much metal, it crumpled and split apart easier than he thought it would have.
"Nice try. Hey, you seem awfully familiar..."

Alyssa was listening to her music in her room, when all of a sudden she was curious about her closet and what's inside. Mentally, she thought she was going insane, but her insticts just told her to go. When she opened the door to her walk in closet, she frowned. Lyss remembered that her dirty clothes were in a laundry basket, but now it layed here in front of her. She stepped in, and the door immediatly slammed shut, as if a ghost were there beside her. The light flickered and the ground literally fell open. "WAIT! HELP!!!!!!!!!!!" she shouted, but she was already gone.

~~~~~~~~

Alyssa awoke on the ground with familier territory, but her senses told her that this was not right. She blinked and rubbed her eyes, tyring to remember what had happened, but it was all very vague. In the distant, she saw a purple haired girl fighting off a monster and slowing it came her way. As they were battling in front of her, Lyss ducked inside the alley so she couldn't be seen. Then she gasped as she stared at those eyes. The identical purple eyes as her own. As she killed the monster, she turned in the alley. "Come on, now. You're perfectly fine." She talked with a slight accent and then Alyssa walked out. In the same tone they asked each other, "Who the hell are you???????"

She woke up, head pounding, heart racing. Her breathing gradually slowed, sensing that she was in no danger. As she calmed, she assessed her surroundings. She seemed to be in a living area - a bedroom. She was sprawled across a double bed, limbs spread out and dangling off the sides. The covers were drawn messily over her and, as she pulled it off, she saw that she wasn't in her own clothes. Slightly disturbed, she sat up, blue eyes flicking around the small room. The room was generally quite clean with only a few clothes strewn about. On a table sat a small laptop - blue - which was left open on a page about different weapons. The faintly yellow light coming through the curtains lit up most of the room, with the rest coming from the light of the computer screen. Dawn climbed out of bed, stiffening as she saw the door creak open, and was greeted by the head of a blonde. Her brown eyes lit up as they rested on Dawn's, and she practically threw the door open, grinning wildly.
"Nice 'ta finally seeya awake!" the blonde exclaimed, leaping through the doorframe. "I hope you made 'yaself comfortable, 'cause I tried my hardest to clean the place up for 'ya."
Dawn nodded, slightly confused yet amused by the woman's excitement. She couldn't exactly place her accent either.
The blonde raised a hand to rub her neck, before sticking her other hand out. "Oh yeah, haven't introduced ma'self, have I? I'm Davis, Dawn Davis."
Freezing, not just because they shared a first name, Dawn took the Davis' hand to shake it. "Dawn Dragena..." she stated, voice trailing off in thought.
They both stared at each other in shock, not sure what to say. They both spoke at the same time, voices confused and slightly broken. "Ruby..."

(I HAVE AN ANGST PROBLEM STOP ME)

One paced around the base, ticking worriedly. Yuuki, Dawn, Hisashi, Alyssa... Who else was going to disappear on him? He shuddered. What if they had abandoned him? He looked around. Arik. Arik would know what was going on.. right? He ran towards Arik's room. As he made his way down the corridors the world around him began to fade under his feet and soon he found himself floating in.. space. Had he teleported himself unintentionally? He gazed in awe at the stars glinting and shimmering brilliantly against darkness. He had never got to really look at them, since when he teleported he was only in space for a split second.

One watched the world fade back and as quick as he had come, he was gone. He was still in the same position when he returned, however, the base had changed. He lifted his hands close to his face and opened and closed his fists. Yup. He was still the same old him.

Suddenly someone jumped out in front of him, carrying katanas exactly like his. One jumped back and took out his katanas. The human had bright white hair, blue eyes and wore a black cloak. The human shrieked angrily, but there was a hint of fear in his voice. "WHO AND WHAT ARE YOU AND WHY ARE YOU IN OUR BASE?!" One ticked. "One. I'm a robot. And to be honest, I don't have a clue why or how I got here." , he said plainly. The human stood up straight. "One? My name is One.." One (beyond) smirked. "You certainly don't look like a one." One (alt) narrowed his eyes and crossed his arms. "Neither do you."

One (beyond) hissed and stood up straight. He cocked his head. "Hey.. Your voice sounds a lot like mine." One (alt) dropped his hands to his side and suddenly looked interested. "Hey.. you're right."

~Dude, One. We're both in AU DS's base then.~

AU Yuuki made her way around the corner, about to open her mouth and yell out to Ariko for more money, before freezing halfway, staring at a so much cooler version of herself. She squeaked in fear, and backed away. The other person, however, noticed her squeak of terror, and turned around, icy gray eyes narrowed and deadly. She took out a pistol, holding it to Yuuki's head. "Who are you?" they asked in unison, with the exact same pitch in voice, except AU Yuuki's was more nervous and fearful.

(Original) Yuuki glanced to the side, and her eyes widened. One and another white-haired human were in the same room. "One?" she gaped, a bit shocked. "What are you doing here?"

The ceiling slowly opened above the new crowd of people, AU Ariko descending onto the ground. "Now now One, that's no way to greet our new guests." AU Ariko spoke, landing onto the floor as the ceiling closed up again. "Members of Team Dragon Storm, Please welcome our new guests from another world!" he told his team, tapping the floor as extra couches and tables came out of seemingly nowhere, landing and sitting on one as if he'd knew you guys from the past. "Let me introduce myself, I am Riko Uszuniragi, Leader of this team. He spoke in a cool-voice calm and devoid of any fear or worries.

(Beyond) One noticed Yuuki and turned toward her. "Yuuki?" He was then cut off by what looked to be... Ariko? No.. he had a cyborg arm... It couldn't have been. He jumped back as couches and tables appeared out of nowhere. Another world? Did this mean... they had been teleported to another dimension? He watched, bewildered. Wait.. Your saying we've been teleported to another dimension.. and.. THIS IS ME?!!?" He pointed to AU One. "A HUMAN?!!" , he exclaimed.

Au One rubbed his arm and looked down Shyly. "Sorry if I disappointed you.." He twiddled his thumbs and avoided eye-contact.

AU Ariko nodded at One. "According to what I've detected, you guys are from another world as your physical composition is unique to our universe. He'd replied, tapping the floor a few more times as a part of the wall opened up to have a large selection of drinks for the new guests. "And yes, that is from what I think, Is you. Riko spoke, sipping a cup of a unique white substance that was slightly see-through

Davis was the first to break the silence, not liking it being quiet for so long, and said, "So, I could show ya' 'round, an' maybe we could head downstairs to eat? Like-"
Dawn cut her off, nodding as she said, "Uh, yeah... That would be helpful."
As the blonde lead her down the stairs, Dawn assessed this other 'Dawn'. Her hair was kept out of her face by a navy headband, with a few strands poking out in front of her face. It fell all the way down to her shoulderblades. Burn scars wrapped around her body from the lower left portion of her face, warping around to the right side of her body, skin raw and scarred. She wore a dark green tank top, cropped just above her belly button, and had baggy black jeans. There was a grey toolbelt around her waist, packed with a mess of different tools. Her shoes were plain and simple. Realizing that she was staring, she averted her gaze to out of a window.
"So, this is the- bloody 'ell, wha's goin' on 'ere?"
Dawn's eyes widened, seeing Yuuki and One looking thoroughly confused at this ordeal. One stood next to a white haired, equally as tall human, and Yuuki stood next to a similar looking girl, but seemed much more 'stylish'. One bore resemblance to Ariko, yet she had a cybernetic limb.
"Uh, One? Yuuki?" She suddenly realized that she was in the blonde's clothes, without armour or her scarf. She shivered.

Riko nodded at the new visitor, Throwing a soda at Dawn. "Hello my friend, like our.... "Hospitality" so far?" He sarcastically said, sipping his own drink and then switching on a large TV that has almost 932 channels. "Would you all like a show? we have of 900 channels." He bragged, which was something he would not normally do but only did when tired. Riko tapped the side of the couch and cupholders lifted up, putting his drink onto the cup holder and walked up to the new guests. "I don't think I need to introduce myself again correct?" He asked.

Dawn caught the beverage, observing the can. "I, uh... What is this?" She had seen it a couple times in the HQ's fridge, but never really touched it. Davis shot a smile at Dawn, her toothy grin making her seem somewhat comfortable. Still, she stuck to the walls not wanting to interact with anyone. Davis stood beside her, throwing an arm around Dawn, as if she already knew her before all of this.
"So, where am I and how did I get here?" Dawn questioned, mind still spinning from everything that had happened.

(So short D:<)

One heard a familiar voice and turned his head to see Dawn, staring at them in confusion.  "D-Dawn?!" He sputtered, shocked. "You too?!?! ... And what are you wearing..?" He had never really seen Dawn in anything other than her armor. He looked up at Riko. "Do you mind telling us what the hell you want us here for?" He yelled, angrily.
(SHOOOOORT)

Hisashi stood and watched patiently as the scene before him played out. So these guys are just like that other Hisashi guy I met up with earlier, huh. He looked over at Ariko with an once of suspicion. He was treating all of these aliens fairly well and seemed to know more about what was happening than anybody else. It was possible that he had something to do with this, but it was also a large possibility that he had simply figured everything out already, after all, it is Ariko that's being talked about. There's not too many people in this world that he will recognize as smart or smarter than him and Ariko was definitely one of them. He knew that he could learn a lot from Ariko, which was part of the reason why he was the leader of the team. Hisashi has better leadership skills, but they dull in comparison to Ariko's genus. One day he hoped to learn enough from him to be on his level and maybe even take the leadership of this team. But, for now, none of that mattered. He needed to focus on the task at hand. He walked next to Ariko and asked him, "If we're being nice to these aliens, then should I wake up, unchain, and lead the Hisashi that I found earlier out of the basement and over here?"

(Ariko, you better thank me for flattering your character so much.)

Alyssa bolted from where she was standing with AU Alyssa. She ran back to the headquarters and found some interesting people. "Yuuki? And another Yuuki?" She turned back and saw two Dawns, two Arikos, and One (the robot) and a person that she never seen before. "Can someone please tell me what's going on? I went out and found this person that is like my twin except I've never had a twin before. Not to mention she has a horrible sense of fashion!!"

(there's only one Ariko Alyssa. You may edit your post)

Dawn snarled at being called an alien, grasping at the air which Shadow's hilt normally occupied, before realizing what she was doing. A force of habit; she had to stop doing that. Forcing herself not to grasp at what would be her scarf, she murmured an, "I don't know..." before opening and sipping the fizzy beverage. She cast her gaze towards the blonde, with a questioning look on her face. "Where is my artillery?"
The blonde's eyes widened, before yelling, "Oh! Wai' 'ear a sec!" before dashing off somewhere.
Dawn merely shrugged it off, quickly getting used to her alternate's behaviour, and took another sip. It was tangy, and sweet. Slightly sour, but you could barely tell. "Mh, What is this drink?" She finished the drink, scrunching the metal up with one hand into a small ball, and threw it into the rubbish bin by the opposite wall.

(Alyssa, AU you should 100% look like this: http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/rememberme/images/2/25/Chloe_Profile.png/revision/latest?cb=20150124040536 )

Riko tapped his food and a hologram with the statistics of Dawn's soda appear. "It's called Ekoc, consuming more than 20 would be unhealthy. The name is based off of an unknown can drink we found on the ground when the government was doing portal testing." he explained, tapping the floor with an unknown amount of times and footage of the portal testing reveals a red can drop from a blue wormhole, before the portal shorted out and disappeared. "of course the economy was too lazy to fully recreate it so we made our own, which was the one you drank." he explained.

(HEHEHEH GET IT? EKOC? COKE? EHHH?)

((Coke? An alternative for it would have been Pepsi. *Facepalm*))

Sly (AU) kicked the door open to HQ and they slammed against the wall, the banging echoing across all over the building. He rested his sword on his shoulder, bloodied down to the tip, as he strolled across the main building. Sly didnt bother noticing the mess his battle gear and blade were leaving, as drops of blood trailed his path towards the office.

It was an easy mission. How boring. He expected Ariko would throw something challening. Even if it had to be the slightest. Sly peered at the board of missions and noticed a few more posters. Again, nothing interesting. He thought of leaving it to the rest of the team. Sly pulled out a few posters from his tunic and slapped them on the board, uncaring if he posted it over the new ones or if the bloodstains were too much to make out what he found.

Then he marched towards the office and elbowed the door. He wanted to sleep.

Wait.

Sly didnt bring his head up, but he noticed the space within this room was different. Yuuki. But another Yuuki as well? A robot. Another Dawn? Sly snorted. He remembered Ariko talking about bringing these 'clones' from another world. Seemed that idiot succeeded in doing the unthinkable. But what about this Sly clone? Where was he? Lost on his way here?

And so you brought them here. Now what are you going to do with them? Sly smirked up at the whole group before sinking onto a nearby couch, elbows on his splayed legs. So wheres my buddy? Did that fail? Or is he so weak that he is crushed during the travel?

One jumped at the sound of the door being kicked open and turned to look at Sly. What the hell? Something about him made him disturbed and almost annoyed. He didn't notice that he was clicking lowly in anger. His eyes followed Sly to from the door all the way to the couch where he slumped down and began trash-talking about their Sly.

One stepped forward. "Say that again.."

Why must you provoke our guests One, we all know you're just self-righteous you know..." he replied quickly "As for your other questions, I do not know why you're here as I am not the cause of you being here. I merely detected your portal had a similar "characteristic" to our world despite definitely being other-worldly." he explained in a more serious tone from his relaxed tone of voice. "As for how you're here, I suspect there might be an outer cause or a ripple in reality due to the power of our universes, but it's just a theory. if it's correct, the other versions of us should be coming here quickly, Like the other-world of me." he said explaining his thoughts, before sipping his drink.

Riko had forgotten what Hisashi said to him and blinked at Hisashi. "wait.... YOU DID WHAT!?" He asked Hisashi urgently. "Why in the world would you EVER chain someone up?! We don't even have a basement, Our base is in the air! We're in the air right now!" he told Hisashi, implying to immediately release that Hisashi
