A pile of rubble shifts, thumping erratically for several seconds before being launched clear of the crater by an opening chest. Kek emerges from his Loot Chest completely unharmed with Scourge staff still in hand, flinging a variety of valuable trinkets and stolen personal effects into the rubble.
His beady eyes scan the impact zone and the menagerie of players sitting in it for a few moments.
He screeches "WHAT" significantly louder than should be deemed acceptable.

A look of immediate cringe and disgust twists in Zwei's face as the little reptile opens it's maw to emit that awful noise.
...She flings her left limb towards the chest and it's owner in a whip-like slapping motion on impulse.

Thoren and Rid instinctively pull out their weapons in preparation as the chest pops out of the rubble.
They stand ready, back to back, one bearing a double-sided scythe, the other a crossbow.
Upon it being clear that it's a false alarm, Rid glares at the emerged consort, blank eyes shining.
Thoren relaxes his blades. Hopefully he didn't startle Raine too much from his sudden reaction...

"One last gasp..."
Raz takes a step back to give Clear some space, regarding the new arrivals with a more serious expression and slightly narrowing eyes at some of their questions for her. He could have figured she'd field those sorts of questions but. Her drawing inward leads to his clasping his hand comfortingly and firmly on her shoulder to offer her a likewise smile, as he steps a bit closer.
"She made something brilliant of her life despite the stuff against her.. Just like you can."
Rid's words call his attention to him, and he can't help but raise his eyebrow when he gets a proper look at the Seth. Lowering his glasses with a finger to look the Medieval Mad Max up and down inquisitively.
"Uh... Do I, know you? ...Wait, phone- You, were in that game, weren't you. I guess this might be what they call a fated meeting, sure... But the Medieval Mad Max look is really throwing me off."
Kyana, for her part seems to be looking the area over, rifle held low but firm as she scans for signs of life. Every so often she glances back in Raz's direction with a tilted head, only to return to surveying the ruins, meeting Zwei's fervent glance once and nudging toward the group with a quick chuckle. That second is all it takes for something to explode just out of her viewpoint and she's more irritated than surprised or shocked as she levels her rifle with the source of the sound, Raz, caught as he's about to make further comment and likewise sinking into a fighting stance with narrowed eyes.
"Of course."
"What the..."
When they find the source of their attention a chest, and shortly after a lizard, Kyana relaxes with recognition and lowers her rifle a little while Raz tilts his head in confusion. And both wince at the shrill decibel of its shouted word, Raz lifting a hand to his ears instinctively and Kyana narrowing her eyes and pursing her lips as she levels her weapon.
"Lizard I'm so far past the point of caring I will shoot you."
"Oh. Hey. Not like I was using these ears for anything important, or anything. Jesus."

"Yeah. I never made it out alive though. I'm still chasing the asshole who stole my body and killed Raine."
Thoren is shocked at those words for a moment before remembering that she's still connected to him and very much alive.
A sigh of relief as he holds his hand to his chest.
"Different timeline?" Thoren asks, despite being sure of the answer.
"Yeah. Apparently doomed, but I don't fucking care. I will avenge her." Rid puts his sunglasses back on.
Thoren looks over at him for a moment.
"...Rid, did you get that outfit from Hot Topic? I'm pretty sure I saw all those accessories at the clock tower location."
Rid flips Thoren off.
"...fuck off, metalhead."

"Guys, guys, don't argue, you both look like an edgy 11 year old and an edgy 12 year old's notebook scrawlings, respectively. You can figure out who's who."

"Hey, I was older than that!"
"Hey, I was older than that!"
Both of them uncannily say in near unison.
They pause to look at each other.
"...I'm still more badass than you." Rid remarks to Thoren.
Thoren just looks away.
"Whatever. We need to get back on track here. We're checking if the Scourge is still here, right?"
"...who the fuck is the scourge?" Rid asks.

Clear visibly calms after being patted by Raz. She keeps her gaze deeper into the destroyed zone. Waiting for anything to occur.
"Maybe... it's over...?"
She takes a step forward into the dusty clouds, walking deeper into the crater.

"The thing that's trying to destroy all of existence. I'd be up for revenging Eins when that fuckface Chronos comes here, but the Scourge is bigger fish. The biggest fish, even."
Zwei still keeps looking around. He could be anywhere...
"And Crim-crim, try not to provoke the robot too hard. You'll wake Raine up in the wrong side of the bed."

Clear lifts her hand and a ball like grid pulses from her palm. Like a visible sonar, it rolls across the terrain in search of life...

The hooded hero of space looks out at the wreckage, before lifting up a hand, lifting a layer of rubble into the air, removing it from the rest of the wreckage.
"Lets just hurry up and get this over with."
In the distance, a familiar tune begins to play...

Rid listens to the song in the distance. He appears worried.
"...no. don't tell me this means what I think it means..."
Thoren looks over at him, confused.
"What do you mean?"
Rid looks up.
"Ben..."
More confusion.
"What about Ben?"
And then Rid starts with the waves hand motions.
"How do you not get it!? When Space Jam starts playing, it means Ben is fucking dead!"
"What the fuck?"
"How do you not remember that!? Didn't you kill his dreamself too? Didn't you get jammed after the slam?"
"He never made it onto my hit list in my timeline. He fucked off to the void before I could ever see him die."
"Well now you know. Ben's dead."
"I don't believe you."
"~ATH DOESN'T FUCKING LIE!"
"Space Jam isn't even a rare song. I'm gonna check with someone who has access to the registry."
Thoren sends a message on the message board. Hopefully the kid that runs the tower has some answers...

"WHOEVER THE HELL IS OUT THERE PLAYING SPACE JAM, TURN IT THE FUCK OFF OR I'LL MAKE YOU TURN IT OFF."
Zwei isn't pleased. First, the lizard consort; now this.

Katie was more than a little slow on the uptake, having practically fallen asleep standing up. Once she noticed that Solaris had ran off and left what she assumed was Micha behind, she ran off into the Blasted Zone. Once she got there, she pulled "Micha" into a hug before realizing her clothes had changed.
"W-wait, are you that Woman in White or are you Micha? Cause if you're not Micha this is probably really confusing and awkward and- I'm just going to let you go now."
Katie released Clear from her hug sheepishly.
"S-sorry for making things weird if you're someone else...now. If you are, though, what's your name?"
The rest of RN's squadron meandered their way over there, they had time to breath for a bit, right?

Clear shakes her head. "I'm Sorry Katie. But Micha is no longer in this world... she died with her bullet wound in her heart when Omega killed her..."
She gently pats Katie on the shoulder.
"My name is Clear, and moments ago Solaris, the last remnant of Micha's programming, has also ascended from this world..."
She holds her shawl close to her as she looks up at Katie, a worried look on her face.
