    Samurai Jack: After years of searching and combing through various pieces of ancient literature you have located a portal. The scripts are unclear as to its exact nature. You don't know when or where it will take you but there is one consistency between everything you have heard or read. The chosen one will enter the portal and wherever it takes him, he will find his destiny.

    Vincent Valentine: Your deep slumber has persisted for many years when a disturbance occurs. This time it is not the Turks but a pair of raggedy looking commoners. "We've found him!" One of them exclaims. "This has to be patient zero! Lets destroy him and put an end to all of this!" The other man chimes in "We'll be heroes!"

    Storm: You have bared witness to countless schemes laid forth by Apocalypse, and have seen them all fail due to the efforts of the X-Men. His latest however is far beyond anything you thought even he to be capable of. After getting his hands on the DNA of such mutants as Wolverine and Dead Pool, he seems to have engineered a disease to put the Technovirus to shame. Having witnessed first hand the demise of all of civilization, you are sent back in time to stop it before it starts. As you step out of the portal you recognize that you are in New York city but something about this place has a strange unfamiliar air about it.

    Scorpion: During one of your frequent forays between Earth and the Nether Realms you sense a strange disturbance. You find yourself planted in an Earth city but it is not quite as you recognize it. The architecture suggests that you are in the United States and a major city at that, but it is strangely quiet. There is no traffic and no sound of barges from the nearby docks. Sensing danger you keep your guard up.

    Jacket: You have one new message. *beep* "This is 'Richard' from the shipping warehouse. There's been a strike and we need you to help us with negotiations. Discretion is of the utmost concern. Come to Amboy and Wards Point Ave." *click*

    Vivi Ornitier: "Farewell. My memories will be part of the sky." These were your final words as you shuffled off your mortal coil and left Gaia forever. You now find yourself materialized in a strange new realm. A massive cityscape looms before you with buildings to rival the highest towers, packed one next to the other. Death is strange, and not nearly as final as you would have imagined.

    I hop in my car take 2 hits of acid and head to my target. This gives me an opportunity for my masked hallucinations to talk to me, and whether or not they give truthful advice is up to you, but they are real in my characters mind. Assuming I see no trouble along the way then I open my trunk to get my weapons and watch for signs of movement in the windows as I approach the largest house on the more acute angle of the 3 way intersection (checked a satellite view).

    Up here in the north east the weather tends to be pretty crappy but today is a nice day. A lot of people seem to be enjoying this nice weather, walking instead of driving. In fact, you don't see a single other car on the road. You get to your destination and see a few of the strikers outside of a building. They are crowded around a door, banging on it with their fists and saying something you cant make out.

    Vivi was lying face down on the street, eyes closed. What happened? How had he gotten here? Bright yellow eyes opening, he stood and looked around. The building's here were enormous, bigger even than the grand castle. He tilted his head back in awe. They were so tall it was starting to give him vertigo. Grasping the rims of his broad hat, Vivi shook his head. Getting dizzy here wouldn't be the best idea. Picking up his staff in case of attack, he looked left and right trying to decide what to do.

    I thought I'd... Stopped... Maybe this is where people go afterwards?

    Making up his mind, he began to wander down the street to his left.

    I wonder if grandpa is here...

    Though this timeline feels odd, Storm feels a rush of relief being somewhere familiar. She hadn't realized how much she missed civilization after the destruction of Apocalypse. She looks around at the people of New York and it crosses her mind to wonder what this timeline is like. A gentle breeze begins to blow towards and then abruptly stops. One thing is for sure. The winds still bow to me. She thinks with a smile.

    Samurai Jack

    Opened his eyes, the portals power hum washing over him now. His meditation complete Jack rose and placed his straw hat upon his head. As the thrum of power sounded again and again in his ears he steeled himself and stepped forward.

    "It is time. My destiny awaits."

    When his body broke the plane of that powerful portal it was as if he was torn from the land in which he had come. His body contorted, a fun house mirror of it's former self. His mind raced but his training allowed him to keep himself calm. It seemed an agonizing drawn out moment, but it was just that.

    The portal opened over a broken landscape. His sandal clad feet clattering onto a broken girder, some ways off the ground among the ruin of a broken building. His eyes focused on his surroundings, peering out at the broken cityscape.

    "What manner of place is this?"

    He quirked an eyebrow and then listened intently. Only the wind greeted him, and he set about moving to the ground, agile jumps taking him down the side of the broken building to the street below. He stopped near the side of the building and peered about, listening intently to see if anyone was about.

    Stirring in dreams.... Lucrecia... Sepheiroth... Hojo... A loud bang starts Vincent from his slumber. He blinks the sleep from his eyes as he hears movement outside his coffin. Slowly the lid slides to the side and Vincent sits up non-chalantly. Seeing three to four young men staring at him, Vincent ***** his head.

    "Who.... are you?", he asks in a gravelly voice not used for years. Upon hearing the exclimations from they rag tag group, Vincent knows this won't finish well...

    "It's rare mobsters guard the outside, but then again I have not seen a cop the whole way here." Jacket will park on the street to the side of the house instead. Then he will hop the fence into the backyard while using the divination ability to know when peoples backs are turned and increase my time to hide.

    Edit: I made a hide roll in the OOC if there is anyone in the backyard.

    As you begin your ascent you spot a man high up on the building decending. He wears a white gi with what appears to be a katana at his hip. His black hair is neatly tied in the back. He moves quickly and with great agility as he bounds from one girder to another.

    From your vantage point you see many people milling about the streets but none of the vehicles you've come to expect in a cityscape of this sort. As you descend, your eyes are soon drawn to a peculiar man in a black and yellow uniform. The way he moves suggests a man of great martial prowess.


    Spoiler: Jacket

    Behind the building you see no one. As you place your hand on the wall you get a glimpse of the inside. It appears to be some sort of warehouse. 4 men stand guard, pacing nervously as 2 other men approach what appears to be some sort of sarcophagus. Inside it another man sits up. He has long black hair and is wearing a black uniform with a red cloak. He has a dangerous look about him but something inside your head tells you he is a friend. After a short deliberation the two men closest to him pull out large knives and close in on him.

    As you begin to acclimate yourself to your new surroundings a strange little man walks around the corner. He wears a high collared blue coat and a large floppy hat that casts a shadow over his face. The most noteworthy feature however is his glowing yellow eyes.

    As you turn the corner you see a tall dark skinned female. She seems to be enjoying the gentle breeze that blows down this street. The wind abruptly dies down as she turns and looks at you.

    Felt the concrete under his sandals as he made the final jump, this place while strange, not that much different from places he had visited that were under the grip of Aku. He kept up a wary eye, but the figure in black and yellow had certainly caught his attention. He recognized the cut of his garments, surely the man had some martial training. Perhaps he would know more about what was going on here.

    He approached calmly, not showing any signs of hostility, though he was of course ready to act at a moments notice. He raised a hand, palm up in a friendly greeting gesture, calling out to the man from some a small distance, about twenty feet.

    "Greetings, traveler. I am called Jack. I am new to this land, and know little of it. May I ask, are you familiar with this place?"

    Vincent puts a hand to his face, attempting to shake the last bit of his slumber away. His grogginess is quickly removed as he hears the pull of large blades from their sheaths. Stepping lightly out of his place of rest, Vincent pulls free his revolver, Quicksilver, and levels it at one of the men.

    "I believe... it would be best if you did not." Vincent growls at the closest man, cocking the hammer back as he does.

    if either one of the two men outside the sarcophagus don't disarm themselves immediately I will start combat. Since I spoke as a free action I assume I can still move close enough to shoot both at once with the spread of the shootgun during the suprise round regardless of my initiative, but I will wait to see the success of the intimidation first.

    Vivi slows to a stop a short distance from the tall woman. He looks up at her with surprise, "Um... Hi..."

    He looked around at the still strange city, then back at the woman. She seemed to be very at ease with herself here, perhaps she knows where they are? "Do... Do you know what this place is? I just woke up here."

    Brings a hand up to his chin, thinking for a moment. He did not recall ever meeting a Quan Chi in his travels, but he had just stepped through a portal to this unknown place.

    "I am afraid I do not. I come from a land that was beset by a great evil, and to preapre myself I have been on a long journey. I was told a magical portal that I encountered would lead me to my destiny. It has lead me here. It is perhaps because I did not reside in this land originally that I do not know of this Quan Chi."

    He gave the strange man a bit of a smile as he thought for a moment.

    "It is my honor to make your acquaintance, Scorpion. This place is alien to me, perhaps we could travel together for a time? I would like to learn more about this place, and what it may hold for me."

    Vivi looked around at the city scape in confusion, "New York..?" He stared thoughtfully at the buildings, he'd never heard of somewhere called 'New York'... What a strange name for a city... He suddenly started in surprise, the woman had asked him something, "Sorry! I'm Vivi. I live... Used to live near Treno." When the strange woman doesn't seem to recognise the name, he added hopefully "On the Mist Continent?"

    Listened carefully to the conviction in the mans voice. He was certainly driven. A quality that Jack had seen in both friend and foe alike over the years. Scorpion seemed genuine though, his drive to defeat his a nemesis of sorts something Jack could understand.

    The samurai pulled his straw hat from the billowing folds of the sleeve of his robe and placed it upon his head, nodding to Scorpion.

    "By all means. This place is ominous. I have seen many large cities, but never one as empty as this. It fills me with a sense of foreboding. Since you seem to know this place far better than I, lead on if you please."

    From your vantage point you have a good view of the surrounding streets. To one side you can see what appears to be an adult with a child. Suddenly from around a corner emerges a large group of people seeming to shamble towards them. Their movements seem too stilted and unnatural to be some sort of mob but they move together as one. Strange, given the conspicuous lack of people in the city.

    Your conversaton is cut off by the sound of moaning and shuffling feet. A large group of people emerge from around the corner, shambling toward you.

Their attention turns toward you and they begin moving in your direction.

    Storm is shocked by the conversation she is having with this child. However, when these creatures come around the corner, she knows there is no time to gather more details. She extends a hand to Vivi. Take my hand. Things do not look good. If she takes his hand, she will fly high enough with him to evaluate the situation somewhat safely.

    The look of shock and fear brought the slightest twing of a smile to Vincent's lips. Gently uncocking his pistol, Vincent looks over to the shotgun wielding man. Confused as to why a man would run around in a chicken mask, Vincent starts to call out to him.

    "...."

    Thinking over his situation, Vincent decides it's better to just return to his slumber to repent for his sins. He starts to climb back into his sarcophagus.

    Having nothing but their knives, the men drop them on the ground and fall to their knees. "We don't know any more than you do, man! We thought he was one of those... those things. I mean... he sleeps in a coffin. We thought maybe if we destroyed him it would... I don't know... put an end to all this. Like the old vampire stories." Another man chimes in "Look, I don't want to tell you your business but if you fire that thing you're going to bring them all right to us. We need to get out of here."

    "Well if these 'things' want to kill you then I can't do my job, so where is the safest place." Jacket realizes the flaw in that logic and tries to play it off with the fact he is on drugs. Muttering under his breath next to Vincent "I have a car with one open seat, so we can leave these guys to deal with the angry mob outside."

    Hold on. Storm takes Vivi's hand and takes off toward the sky, scanning the approaching creatures for some type of clue about what they are or how many there are. She also will be looking for a safe place to drop off this poor kid. She will at the same time be looking to see if anyone else may need to be air lifted away in a similar fashion.
