((Okay, after wracking my brains on how to bring these guys over here without breaking the multiverse and still continuing the story from Blackstar at least semicoherently, I think I've finally got it. The same that you got from me then also applies now, mainly that providing there's a response you'll get a reply back from me every 1-2 days, and that I will not be playing any character of mine, but the characters who'll provide you with help or may try to chop your head off ;-). Note that I'm also doing most of my RPing from my phone, so I apologise in advance for any spelling mistakes or abruptness on my part.

Unfortunately bringing them here does highlight something I'd hoped to save til later, however that's OOC so I guess it's ok :P.
... And yes that is all that you're gonna get from me about it. So anyway, here we go))

On Ana, Pax's planet of green and blue, life and sunlight, during the very hour The Pass moved between the two and created a corridor some things got pulled through by the very same celestial winds that had snatched so many of it's inhabitants. Multiple flashes rent the night bringing with each one strange creatures. The initial confusion of the transfer was to mean the deaths of many inhuman creatures, cut down by the very things they'd dared to hope to have escaped. Their screams of pain and terror filling the night air as blue, purple and green blood spilled onto the ground. However, some managed to keep their heads (quite literally in some cases) and ran away from the melee as fast as they could,disappearing in all different directions on the unfamiliar planet. Anywhere was better than being around the monstrosities.

Away from all this, in an area of the plains more flashes of light coincided with a most peculiar sight, for these flashes brought forth a forest not of green leaves and brown trunks, but of red leaves and smooth grey trunks whose branches swayed even with no breeze around. It had quite literally sprung up overnight.

((Well, that's it. I hope you all enjoy it))

An object is hurtling through space. It is a strange, yet very ornate object. At it would appear to be some kind of sarcophagus, a highly detailed one at that. Ancient hieroglyphics adorn the metal case, strange symbols that tell a story. Stories of battle, of conquest. Stories of terrible evil. The symbols tell of death gods and war, they tell of mechanical horrors and a terrible, terrible harvest. This sarcophagus, hurtling though space with no sign of stopping, contains a great evil inside. May mercy be given to any who find it.

...

On the planet Ana, a normally peaceful planet thus far, was bearing witness to slaughter. In the confusion of the teleportation, many were losing their lives and limbs. Some managed to escape, but those trapped with the creatures were fighting for their lives. For whatever reason, very few of the inhabitants of Ana saw the strange green light flashing in the sky like a shooting star. Few paid notice to the green light and hot fire hurting closer to the scene of the battle. If they had, more combatants wou,d have survived the sudden crash of a metal box smashing into the ground, crushing those directly underneath it, and knocking the wind out of those surrounding it.

Serah had no idea just how lucky she was to escape from the melee unscathed, for while she stopped to pick up the newly adopted pet, aliens all around her were screaming as they lost limbs, were ran through, sliced open or piled upon and torn into by swarms of small fleshy creatures whose skin was a disgusting grey colour. She may have caught glimpses of features on her way out-a tooth filled beak here, a clawed hand there, large double bent legs over there, but it would not be clear in the darkness. The creature that had been following her originally was downed by a swarm-a far more dangerous threat than the crippled, eight foot tall alien that only wanted to get away from the horror of it all.

Further compacting this, some sort of bizarre box fell out of the sky, crushing infected and uninfected alike. Of course, the infected were the first to get up and take advantage of their unexpectedly downed victims, further adding to their numbers.

Out of the darkness near Serah a figure came barreling straight at her-a four foot tall, wiry figure with doucble bent, bipedal legs and arms wrapped tightly around his chest. Four toed, clawed feet cut grooves into the ground as he skidded to a stop upon seeing Serah. The red, reptilian crest on his head was flared up, contrasting with his green skin and blue clothing, and a beaked mouth complete with a set of small teeth opened as he babbled at her in an alien language. However, shortly after the thing he was clutching in his wiry arms translated for them. "What are you doing you idiot!" it said, conveying the sense of panic and urgency quite well "Run! Run and don't stop or they'll get you!"
And with that the lizard bird set off sprinting again.

"Run! Run and don't stop or they'll get you!"

Serah Flintched as she heard the babbling and the scard Voice and saw the Creature and she was scard but Didn't want to argue with the strange Creature as she ran as fast as her legs could and her mind was full of questions as she was trying to figure out what was going on "This can't be happoning this must be a nightmere" Serah said nerviusley as she ran and squeeked "But whatevers after us I'm not going to let them get us" Fluffy made a scard chirp as it clung to Serah's Shoulder as Serah Ran

Though Serah and the lizard bird ran nothing pursued them, but the alien would gripe, moan, or alternately be very encouraging to what to him was an equally strange creature in Serah whenever she even thought of stopping. However, he eventually dropped to his knees on the edge of a clearing, panting loudly. "Can't... go... any... further"

In the midst of the chaos, a tall dark figure loomed over all but the tallest of the aliens. It swung a blade around, an impossibly sharp scythe like blade with a sickly green fire glowing around it. Many of the aliens dropped in half after the blade was swung, barely feeling it as it passed through them like they weren't even there. After processing some information it found some of the aliens didn't seem to be replenishing it's energy.

[VOICE IN CLOSE PROXIMITY, TRIANGULATING]
[...]
[LOCATED. SEEK AND HARVEST]


Ancient metal limbs moved the figure forward towards the voice it had picked out amongst all the chaos.
"Can't... go... any... further"
It strode forward towards the new target. It had managed to escape the fight, maybe it was stronger than the others... more life force for harvest. It wasn't long before the metal horror was stood above the creature, scythe raised to strike down the alien. Another soul for the red harvest.

The blade swiped down.

Some time had passed since arrival, and the littlest Blob o' doom known as CP was still no closer to finding any answers as to why he was here. But alas, his search for self discovery didn't matter as much anymore, as the blob had kept with the group, and the group was thriving.

Yup, things were coming up daisies for CP. They provided food, he provided dashing good looks. They provided shelte- Oh right. That's why he was here. A super secret awesome "Shelter" is what he needed wood for, and that was something his icy, now home, planet lacked. So, being the hero he was, the tiny blob had tasked himself with felling several trees and personally bringing them back to camp.

And that's where things got hairy. After several days of wandering around aimlessly, the goop had managed to end up, unbeknown to him, on a completely different planet. And, even worse, trees here seemed well...more than a foot tall. He couldn't exactly turn up empty handed, but how the heck was he gonna-

BATHOOOOMMMMM!

A great sonic boom flattened the alien to the ground, then sucker-punched with a great cloud of dust and debris. Before he could even process what was happening, the large tree he had been looking at (along with several else) fell, knocked over by the impact of a hurtling space vessel.

As the dust settled, and the frightened little goo opened one eye to peek at the damage, he found a horrifying scene in front of him. Limbs, blood and other parts that shouldn't ever be outside your body littered the area, now revealed by fallen trees. No, he wasn't sure that whatever hit the ground could rip a person apart like that, but now that his tree harvesting job was complete, he hardly wanted to stick around.

Snapping off a rather measly twig to bring back home, CP immediately found that ultimate success was also knocked away by the boom; as now trees had littered his only way of escape. Thinking quickly, he decided he could enter the clearing, skirt around the limbs, and make it home by dinner.

Waving his new found twig around to distract from the gore, and with the speed of a hopping goo globule, that's just what he began to do.

He couldn't figure out why they needed to build a temple, or how much "shelter" it could provide anyway.

Serah couldn't belive her eyes as she saw the Strange Robot creature "RUN!" Serah screamed to the lizard bird creature and Fluffy did a Growl like Chirp at the Robot

The lizard bird alien continued to pant, gulping down sweet air. Air that was ever more the sweeter because he didn't know if tonight he would cease to be able to enjoy it. His liquid brown eyes stared at the ground for just a little bit longer, before he visibly sighed and sat back on his haunches. He removed his arms from his chest to reveal two things-what appeared to be a purple metal medallion hanging by a rope around his neck, and four deep slashmarks oozing blue blood beneath shredded clothing. Nothing short of pure terror could have made him run as he had before "You don't understand. They don't eat. They don't sleep. They won't stop" what appeared to be the medallion translated for him "I don't know much, just that they kill you, then the swarms do something to your body, change it, and you become one of them". The wiry alien stared at his blood covered arm, then removed the 'necklace' he was wearing and offered it to Serah in his four digited, small clawed hand. "Take this, it's a translator. Find Teacher, she-"

"RUN!"

Serahs shout came far too late for the nimble lizard bird, for the wounded alien had been so preoccupied he had not noticed the confident footsteps come up behind him. The aliens entire body froze briefly as the blade sliced through his neck like butter, before it toppled one way and his body the other, spraying the ground with blue blood, it's arm still outstsetched.

Serah may consider taking the translator from the body, as it seemed the only way to communicate with the aliens. However she may also want to consider running again, for the delay that had allowed the tall dark figure to catch up also brought many disturbing shapes closer to them. The closest was clinging upside down to a tree, it's features similar to that of the now headless helpful alien. It had clearly been of the same species at one time, but it was also different. The claws on it's hands were considerably longer, digging into the bark effectively. It also sported a tail, and across it's entire body were small areas of pulsating, sickly grey flesh. The creature bent it's neck back so far that bones should have broken to stare at Serah with dead brown eyes, before it opened it's beak to reveal long, sharp fangs and launched itself at her.

CP also may want to consider going faster, for his stick waving antics were marking him out as something of a target even in the darkness. A lizard bird Monstrosity left the victim it had been so busy maiming with it's abnormally long claws to focus it's attention on him, as did several swarm members. These little creatures vaguely resembled small lizards with their four legs, tail and thin body, but the similarity ended there. Their sickly grey flesh and complete lack of head-replaced instead with a hook like protrusion, set them apart from any sort of reptilian. If CP didn't get out of there, he was quite likely to be mauled by a Monstrosity or torn into by a Swarm members hook.

Serah screamed "NOOO!!" as she saw Him get his head cut off she grabbed the translater as his last wish she screamed as the creature Jumped at her and Fluffy made a large web like goop at the creatures from it's mouth that entangled most of them and Serah didn't waist a second and ran and squeeked "I hope that none of those was Teacher" Fluffy flew after Serah doing growl like chirps at the Creatures as it flew

Completly oblivious to the fact he had attracted any sort of attention, CP continued on his merry way. Up ahead he could see an indentation in the brush. Could it be the path he was looking for all these long, ravaging couple of minutes?

"NOOO!"

Cp froze and turned around, started by the ghastly scream that came from across the field, and was just in time to watch a large being take the head straight off a smaller one. Frozen with fear, the little blob shivered. At that point he realized that several horrible beings he originally mistook as severed limbs were hungrily staring him down.

He dropped his stick and ran.
