“Th-the original had bad habits…for a good reason….you mock the author of my tomes yet I can clearly tell you haven’t read any of his work!” Saleme had begun mumbling this but ended up shouting it getting louder with each word “you don’t know what it was like someone like you probably couldn’t comprehend the pain he felt seeing the person he love fall for another and then having to smile and pretend to be happy for them!” Saleme snarled at the two strangers only to be interrupted by a sound.
Tony was about to open his mouth and comment on how perhaps he could understand if Saleme hadn't been so secretive before they were interrupted.
“Oh my, oh my, talk about a family reunion…” A woman voice could be heard entering the scene she emerged from one of the fortress doors “Oh and Tony sweetie I believe you mean my bad habits” The woman twirled a strand of her hair rather seductively while licking her lips before transforming into Saleme.
“After all Tony Saleme had a drinking problem but me I always had that issue you know the urge to murder in the most entertaining ways” The woman smirked before winking at Saleme.
“Y-you’re from the books…” Saleme muttered his facing going extremely pale.
"Rosaline," Tony frowned, holding his arm out as his rifle appeared in his hands, aimed squarely at her. Larry pocketted the medallion and raised his halberd as the tip began to glow a faint red. "Ya know, you've literally had more than three lifetimes to get sick and tired of trying and failing to kill us and screw up our lives.....the hell's the matter with you, lady?"
“Oh sweet kind Saleme see this is where kindness, Tony here well he doesn’t care after all sweetie it was your kindness that let him and all the make shift family you have survive you could of just not told anyone about it” Rosaline giggled before looking at the others realizing other than Larry and Tony they had no idea who she was.
“Oh hello my lovelies yes it is I Rosaline royal concubine to the current king of elves” She announced almost as if she was expecting a royal round of applauds.
“You know killing Appolo and his wife it took patients had to bide my time did it using this face made his son into the ever so tyrannical dictator he is now” Rosaline explained staring at her well Salemes nails “I let old age take Appolo but his wife oh I had to gut her I have a knack for killing elven royalty after all” she giggled before pointing at Tony.
Larry's eyes widened. "You did what?" he growled. Tony simply glared daggers at her, his finger ever so gracefully caressing the trigger.
“See Tony when you distanced yourself Saleme needed help more than ever I had him sentenced for murder and sealed him inside a cell for hmm what three hundred years?” She questioned looking at Saleme and winking “It suited him rotting away in a cell scraping his bloody fingers on the walls desperately trying to record history so he can remember who he is” Rosaline snickered at this finding it all to funny “distancing because of bad habits more like abandoning” Rosaline tone was a mocking one as if she was judging the man machine.
“Heck I have been a better friend to him than you I got him out the cell granted his memories were destroyed but hey the current king listens to me gave him a nice job as I wait for a dear old friend to return now if you don’t mind hand him over now so I can be on my way” Rosaline ordered morphing back into her normal form and extending her razor like nails out.
Tony growled, pulling the trigger and firing off a few laser rounds before ducking to the side to dodge her attack. "Keep her away from Saleme!" he shouted to the others.

Rosaline begun giggling ecstatically “you don’t get it I won!” She announced twirling a strand of her hair. “I told you all rather simple I rip your stupid make shift family apart and I did!” She cheered happily before pointing at Larry.
“After all who do you think gave the king the idea to separate you and that fishy princess, Larry?” She asked with a smile on her face “If anything you should be thanking me and kissing my feet right now she made you weak she made you pathetic!” Rosaline shouted out before turning to Tony.
“Oh Tony, tony you really think you’re the inventor they need right now Ana was always better at it then you heck even the robot was…” Rosaline sneered.
“At the end of the day though this is all irrelevant after all tell me who do you lot have more faith in the boy that can’t remember or me the girl who tuck it all?”
“ I’m suggesting you pick your side very quickly and then the slaughter fest can commence” Rosaline chirped.

As the cartoonish, clearly evil woman spoke, Eideara noticed Larry and Tony's reactions. She was from the same timeline as them, and they regarded her with hate. She giggled cruelly about imprisoning Saleme, and she admitted she was behind the plot to exile Larry into the future, and leave Empress Mira loveless and alone. Eideara frowned in disgust.
"I will not join you, you cruel monster. You disgust me."
= = = = =
As Mizzix spied this newcomer, he was overcome with memories from hundreds of years ago, that were not his.
The hut was circular, filled with straw, like a nest. In it's center, in a pile of blankets and cushions, lay a slightly shaking, elderly birdwoman. Mizzix looked through someone else's eyes as he approached the older woman. The hut was primitive, but comfortable, every inch of it welcoming, loving, and he gazed upon the obviously sick birdwoman, he felt sadness and grief that were not his.
"Come closer....metal child." The birdwoman croaked, her eyes still managing to do the kind squint they always used to do.
"Yes, Hera." A female voice sprang from the body Mizzix was looking out from, and together, they drew closer to the birdwoman.
"I've called you here, because it is my time. Soon, I will call in all of my children....and say goodbye. But first, I wanted to ask you...a favor, metal child."
"A-anything." Mizzix's host spoke.
"I still, to this day, do not fully understand the technology of your kind." Hera smiled wide, ignoring the pain it presumably put her in. "But, I'm not done protecting my young, and I do not know the gods plan for me, as of yet. I've lived a long, happy life, but my one concern that after I am gone, is that my children will have need of me, and I....cannot be there. I don't want to burden them with this, but you....I know you can access a certain kind of...immortality, because of what you are."
Mizzix's host nodded. "I already exist as code across robotkind. No matter how many vessels I lose, I can exist again, and again. I promise you, Hera, your children will be watched over, for as long as I can possibly exist."
Hera settled down into her deathbed, and smiled wider still, the relief palpable. Her hand found Mizzix's, and he felt the light squeeze she gave.
"Thank you, metal child....no. Thank you, Metal Woman."
Mizzix blinked as he seemed to arrive back in the present, and things started to click in his head. His eyes were leaking saline solution. The Creator was crying through him, as she heard the things Rosalin was saying. He felt her sense of failure.
"Mizzix..." Her voice spoke to him, this time choked with emotion. "I have need of you, as a vessel. Do you consent?"
Understanding immediately, Mizzix nodded. "I have always been your vessel, Creator."
"Call me Ana." The voice said lightly. "It's been eons since someone has called me Ana."
With this, Mizzix smiled as he felt his conciousness switch off, and Ana stood in his body, walking purposefully towards the group.
"I'd hoped to follow you from a distance, and help from afar, but....that is not the case." She spoke in her own voice, and pointed at Rosalin. "This...evil individual...is never to be trusted."
She pressed a button on her sleeve, and a blue pulsating dome shield covered Saleme. "I'll never fail Hera, or her children, ever again."

“That’s because I eat people,” Sukob explained, returning a toothy grin. “I’m a predator.”
"And I Pray." Raija chimed back, not in the mood for slickmouth responses.
As all that happened, she wasn't sure why the crew was not actively moving. Everyone was an antagonist to her, and the librarian seemed to be breaking down somehow so his off-hand guidance was not available to them. At this point the only two options were fight or flight and it had seemed they were dragged into a fight.
Raija took up her sword and said a short prayer, apologizing for this hunt. Returning her sword to the position on her back, she drew two throwing knives and stayed on alert. "If we must..."

A mysterious evil revealed itself. Her name was Rosaline. During her opening monologue, Sukob remained silent allowing the scene to unfold. All the while, he analyzed what little information he had along with the tidbits of information being relinquished by this new face. Sukob even cross-referenced what he knew he didn’t know. He pushed out a small sigh thinking, I wonder if we didn’t destroy the defenses if all of these newcomers would of made it inside…
From the looks of things… She’s also from the past. Sukob’s eyes darted back to Saleme, then Tony and finally Larry. Sukob narrowed his eyes. Clearly they weren’t on good terms in the past. Apollon? That name… the previous King of the Elves. He was a kind man. He didn’t promote our presence in his capital… but he understood our aims and goals. He was a friend to the League during my Grandfather’s rule. So she’s also to blame for the tyrannical rule the Elves have enforced for several decades. He growled in annoyance at her grotesque tactics.
“Now if you don’t mind hand him over now so I can be on my way,” Rosaline ordered morphing back into her normal form and extending her razor like nails out.
As quickly as she came, Rosaline began another skirmish. Tony ducked to the side returning her attack with laser fire of his own. Sukob stood in front of Saleme, his body acting as a shield. “Boy. Do you have confidence that you’ll remember the locations of the tomes?” He asked Saleme. Without waiting for his answer, he stepped forward. “I hope so. If I have to follow her lead there’s no telling how often she might make an attempt on my life,” He explained.
”I'd hoped to follow you from a distance, and help from afar, but....that is not the case." She spoke in her own voice, and pointed at Rosalin. "This...evil individual...is never to be trusted.”
Another person? This group doesn’t disappoint. Now, he stood roughly fifteen feet in front of her. “Rose… was it? I see you can shape shift. Show me your original form… if you even remember what is was. I want to know what meat my next potential meal is,” He growled at her.
Sukob immediately dropped to the floor on his fours and darted toward Rosaline. When he closed the distance he lunged at her, claws aimed at her face. “I hope you’re human under all of that magic,” He admitted, his eyes glowing yellow with vigor.

Seeing all of this unfold, Eideara's face hardened, then returned to her usual wry smile.
"Always such a guzzleguts, Sukob. How about a side salad to go with your meal this time? Never let it be said that I don't care for your waistline."
With this, she swung her arms, and threw handfuls of seeds into the air, which burst at her command into thick, tough vines, which swung towards Rosalin, aiming to ensnare her.
= = = = =
Ana, watching from inside Mizzix, blinked and knew that she must join the fray, also.
"I've fought her before. Keep your wits about you, all of you! She's reckless and cruel, and will think nothing of torturing you!"
She thanked Mizzix, and left his body, he shuddered as he became himself once more, and made a battle stance on the floor, ready to assist. His arms released steam as he fired a dozen drones towards Rosalin, which buzzed alongside Sukob and the vines.
The being that was Ana looked for something else mechanical to inhabit, and she chose a pile of dormant gadgetry on the floor, that must have belonged to the mechanic girl from earlier. The gadgetry rose into the air and became a human-ish shape, flashing and sparking, held together by Ana's sheer will. The body ran to Saleme's side, and began lightly humming as Ana began reprogramming and improving it from inside.

The two females exchanged glanced with one another, mostly filled with confusion. Hana raised an eyebrow as the group was approached by what felt to be an enemy. "What the hell did we stumble into?" She muttered, mostly to Alessia. The female was unsure of her actions. Should she stay and help defend against this hectic woman who is posing a threat? But, it isn't her business. Or was it? Alessia stood closely behind Hana, her hands clasped together.

Rosaline begun giggling ecstatically “you don’t get it I won!” She announced twirling a strand of her hair. “I told you all rather simple I rip your stupid make shift family apart and I did!” She cheered happily before pointing at Larry.
“After all who do you think gave the king the idea to separate you and that fishy princess, Larry?” She asked with a smile on her face “If anything you should be thanking me and kissing my feet right now she made you weak she made you pathetic!” Rosaline shouted out before turning to Tony.
At this, Larry began to grip his halberd so tightly that the frame itself started to groan under the pressure. It was taking every fiber of his being not to lunge at this.......woman's throat right this very moment. In time. Right now he needed to find out more from her.
“Oh Tony, tony you really think you’re the inventor they need right now Ana was always better at it then you heck even the robot was…” Rosaline sneered.
"That's where you don't get it," Tony said calmly. "You think I'm comparing myself to Ana? Heh......I'll never be worthy of anything close to that. She was the best of us. No one can ever compare to her achievements, for herself or for others. She showed us that carving our destiny is in no one's hands but our own."
"I'd hoped to follow you from a distance, and help from afar, but....that is not the case." She spoke in her own voice, and pointed at Rosalin. "This...evil individual...is never to be trusted."
She pressed a button on her sleeve, and a blue pulsating dome shield covered Saleme. "I'll never fail Hera, or her children, ever again."
Both Tony and Larry looked toward Mizzix, their eyes widening for a moment. "That voice......it's been......so long.......but, there's no mistaking it........Hera, and her children......no one these days even know so much."
"Ana?" Larry asked with a perturbed look. He shook his head, his attention turning back to Rosaline, the reality of the situation settling back in to the front of his mind, Tony as well.
As Sukob made his move, Larry also immediately sprung into action, a thin strand of water pooling and coiling behind him as he swiped his halberd vertically and following up with a burst of slicing winds in Rosaline's direction. Tony tossed his rifle into the air as it disappeared and he held both fists outward, many mini-compartments in his forearms opening up and releasing a swarm of heat-seeking rockets at Rosaline to compliment the vines and drones.

As the introductions threats gloating and well most awkward family reunion was occurring birds were circling the fortress.
As the attacks came at Rosaline she willingly accepted all of them until nothing was left of her so it seemed allowing the body to willingly be destroyed was something she had never done in history but when you’re beautiful and have an extremely long life span you learn few tricks.
“Sh-shes gone…” Saleme muttered from inside the barrier Mizix and Ana had created.
“Oh my It seems you got rid of one of me…” Another Rosaline giggled dropping down from the sky there was one fewer bird in the sky now.
“Did you really think there was only one of me?” Another Rosaline asked landing ever so elegantly.
“This is fun Ana doll face you never told the joys of being a hive mind its great after all, who else can appreciate me more than me!” Both Rosaline said in unison “You know I like a guy whose rough” She said to Sukobe as the slash marks across her face appeared and would turn into deformed monstrosity of a mouth that would lunge towards Sukobe and attempt to well devour some of him.
The other Rosaline giggled “Y’all tried a cute team attack on me it’s pathetic really pathetic” Rosaline mockingly said as two more Rosaline dropped.
“Lets dance!” three of them shouted the first Rosaline was busy trying to devour Sukobes face.
The second one would dash towards Larry and Tony twisting and contorting her body into a spider like monster that would scurry around the two before spitting out stomach acid at them.
The third one would turn into tall male that only a certain few would recognize though it was more for Saleme than anyone.
“Ugh…Ana…the eater…Hera…brother…” Saleme was muttering clutching in his head in pain something inside him activating at the sight of the man his breaths becoming more rapid and chaotic.
The fourth one well that was focused on Eiderah and the two new girls cutting off its own arms that would twist and bubble into canine like beasts that lunged towards the girls the now Armless Rosaline smirked at Eiderah “Mira fought better” She giggled.

“Looks like we don’t have a choice anymore.” Hana muttered as she summoned her weapons, taking a defensive stance as the two canine like beasts charged towards them.
Alessia followed Hana’s lead, as she drew her bow as well. With her arm extended back, she patiently waited for the perfect moment. It was long after that Alessia sent a trio of arrows, back to back, in the direction of the beasts. She aimed for their heads, but hoped for even a hit. The blonde quickly bent over to retrieve more ammunition.
Once the beasts grew closer in distance, Hana fully charged as she focused one. She would throw her body around, swinging her shears around, and overall appeared to have been enjoying herself.
