She watched what was left of the defenders of Edinia be carried away, she could easily deal with the Tarkatans but that man he would be a problem, like it or not she was forced to follow them back to their encampment and try to rescue her friends there.
Just what had happened Edenia was being invaded and just as they were about to meet the enemy in battle a hole, in reality, tore itself bringing here.
She was confident in her skills so she knew that the men wouldn't be able to detect her, in fact, she was certain of it. That man would only react on the last possible second, whether that was the way he fought or the limits of his training remains to be seen.
Finally, she could see the edge of a cliff and thankfully she could already see movement, ships of all sizes and ships were all headed in her direction and in fact the number of people seemed to be growing the closer the got to the cliff.
None of the people looked like they belonged here, there was hesitation in their steps, those that walked confidently were the self-appointed protectors of their groups, perhaps some of them did have a deserving title, but she suspected that meant little now.
There was no point in hiding like this, she would use the crowd to hide, when she heard the edge of the cliff, she almost wished that she hadn't an island was emerging from beneath the sea, growing larger and larger, perhaps it was making room for the influx of refugees.
Entire fleets were headed for the island, some flew in the sky others beneath the waves, while others did it the old fashion way.
There were stairs leading from the cliff towards the island each set of stairs was protected by guards. She just had to wait for her turn they were letting everyone pass including those that were armed.
"Waite" a man wearing a red samurai armor stopped her, she was ready to defend herself but the attack never came.
"You look like if you're by yourself. When you go down head towards the Coliseum you can see it as you go down. You look like a fighter, so there might be a place for you to find work" he told her.
"I'm just looking for my friends" she answered him.
The man just e-mailed before he looked at her straight in the eyes, as he attempted to make his following words reach her.
"We found people that should be dead, some claim that they were dead, others were never born. Whatever happened to us is keeping us here, there are some that can cross realities and even they say that at best they can only teleport from one place to another, in this world"
"I know hard it's hard to hear, but the guy that owns the island is only letting us all use it because he doesn't want to have to worry about constant attacks. So don't cause any problems." He told her, his voice was devoid of any signs of him lying.
"...My friends were attacked" she began only to be cut off by him.
"You see the small ship with the gold flower, they're going to be in there. People are being brought in and leaving. Just tell the captain you're there to pick them up and why you thought the scout was an enemy."
She just looked at the samurai.
"Look around you people are confused and fights happen. For the time being its best not to take any of the fights seriously, it would cause problems that could be avoided." He said to her before showing her the stairs, as she went down she could hear the guards telling people to go to the Coliseum, while others should go to the medical wing as doctors and healers were needed.
Even as she walked down she could already see a divide happening, sides were being taken, she finally reached the bottom and found children happily playing, the innocence of youth. She continued to walk and found the elderly being attended to, while men tried to help whoever they could, mothers shapely breastfed their infants.
Yet her eyes didn't miss the guards that were present everywhere.
Finally, she reached the small boat, it wasn't high enough to be considered a ship. To her surprise, it was filled with Tarkatans.
"My friends were taken prisoners, I'm here to pick them up" she told a guard, he just looked before stepping aside and letting her pass.
The moment she was on the deck her eyes met the figure of a woman, but her body was undoubtedly Edinian, but her face was I figured and looked more like a Tarkatans.
"This way" a tarkatan told her.
She could hear voices the moment she went below deck. "Thor, Aqua, are the two of you sure about this?" A man asked.
"Yes, we have spoken to the other gods that are here and we will speak to any others that arrive. All agree that our heavens have been locked away from us, like it or not we are one more amongst everyone now" Answered another man his voice seemed to carry his power.
"Is there any place we can go to it gets too dangerous here? I can move the island if I have to" the first man asked.
"There are other worlds and we can feel portals that go to them, but whatever brought us here closed them for now. Their starting to open but that might actually be worse for us" answered a woman.
Guards were stationed everywhere and it would easily become an uphill battle, especially with there were gods here.
Finally, she stopped in front of a room guarded by Tarkatans and the same man that had attacked them earlier was emerging from it.
"Let me guess you're here to pick them up" he said to her the moment their eyes me.
She was about to say something when a box manifested itself next to her.
"Why did you attack me?" He asked her.
"We were being invaded and a hole dropped us in a place that looked like our old home, but everything was in ruins and looked long since abandoned. We thought you were one of the invaders." She answered him.
He just looked at her "Put your hand on the box, it will let us find you if we find anyone that energy similar to your" he said to her.
She did so and three dots appeared on the box, no doubt those were her friends. He looked at them and opened the door.
"Alright you're all free to go" he said as he opened the door, she was forced to pull him back as a kick was shot to his stomach. The energy flew past them and hit a wall making a lot thump, yet as she looked around, she could only see the guards shaking their heads.
It looked like by this point, this sort of thing had happened so much that the guards weren't even fazed by it anymore.
She looked into the room and found her friends untied and prepared to fight off the counter-attack, they knew that their best option was to fight off the guards that tried to restrain them in the cell then to charge and be forced to fight them all at once.
"Just go, just go" said the man she was still holding by the collar. Judging by his tone of voice be had seen them as too much trouble for their worth.
They looked at each other and her friends lowered their guards, they each began to walk out of their makeshift cell one by one.
"You will get your weapons back once your off the ship, if there's anything missing say it now. Otherwise, someone might take them and you're not getting them back" said one of the guards.
None of them said anything and they were soon off the ship, each one inspected their weapons and found that nothing was missing or damaged.
"What now?" One of her friends asked.
"We can look around and see if we can find anyone we know or...I was told that if I was alone to go to the Coliseum I might be able to find work there" she answers her.
"We should look around and find a place we can settle in. We all heard the conversation those three were having, if this realm is going to be our new home, its better that we find a place we can settle into" said her team leader.
No one argued against it, if what they heard was true, then not even gods could return to their old reams.

I looked at everyone in the room representatives of every ship and fleet, some wanted to keep their independence while others wanted to create a proper defense fleet and somehow every one of them agreed that they needed my ships.
I thought I had used them all, when I let them out to save the people back then when the other ships were blown up.
"All of you are asking a lot of me, you know that," I said to them.
"King, we know that what we're asking is a lot. You have already provided your ships, the island and the necessities that are keeping everyone under control, but you need to bring out the entire island." A United States Admiral told me.
"We can use it to declare independence, should this realm already have people" Thor added.
"The size alone would connect one end of the mainland to the other and would make two rivers. This would make two fleets." I said as I looked at my help screen.
"...You know that all of those ships are coming here because it's the only peaceful place. Everywhere else is locked in war" Sindel said
"Your Majesty like it or not, even those on land can see that this place is peaceful" Padme added
I looked at everyone this was going to bring problems lots if problems. I didn't like it, no matter how I looked at it, everyone here wanted to manipulate me for their own goals.
"I won't tolerate acts of terror. So I'll give everyone a year to be sent to jail and be released if they attack anyone, just because no one knows who's friend or for." I said as I looked at them.
"Religious or belief fights won't be tolerated when the year is passed and in the meantime, those that can't put those beliefs aside will either leave or have to die. Any customs that heavily contradict everyone else beliefs, will have to be dealt with or simply moved somewhere else" I said to everyone.
"Agreed" everyone said
"How are the scouts coming on?" I asked them.
"Kazuma has returned. It seems he brought back quite a few of worthy breeders" a man with four arms said.
"Your majesty, some of us come from places where slaves are needed" he began to say before I stopped them.
"For the time being free them all, you can get more when the year has passed" I told him and everyone looked at me with shock.
"Look, this can only work in three ways. Exile, slavery or peace."
"Exile only works if the people we kicked out don't return to seek vengeance. Peace only works if the people that choose to leave or live here, really don't cause a lot of problems. As for slavery, I want to avoid the death penalty" I said to them.
J could see that they wanted to argue, but none of them did.
"Then that's it for now" a knight said
"You need to rest, I have spoken with Aqua and she says that you haven't stopped working ever since she met you" Sindel said to me when everyone left, I could see Padme still sitting on her chair, the two had stuck to me like glue.
"I'll sleep when everyone on the island has gotten themselves sorted out. Right now everything nothing then a house of cards and not a very good one" I said to her.
"Are you lending them more of your ships?" Padme asked me
"No, if we spread out to fast, we won't be able to protect the grounds or waters we already have" I said as I looked a map that was being updated, the map was a mixture of technology and magic so it could show what everyone found so far.
Needless to say I had to make copies of it and give them to every ship and scout team that went on land.
I would feel Sindel place her hand on my shoulder before she made "Shhh" sound and I felt my eyes become heavy and the world went dark.
"He's been pushing himself a lot. From what Michael says he hasn't stopped moving since they met. I can't figure out why he hides his powers, by now everyone knows he can just make what he needs" Padme said to Sindel.
"That's precisely why. Powers like his would only go to a member of a royal family, the power to create a kingdom, but he doesn't act like royalty. Be they just or arrogant, those with royal blood speak with authority" Sidel said to Padme.
"So what do you think?" Padme asked.
"He's scared and keeps working just to keep himself from thinking about his own situation. As for everything else, he's right and that's frightening" Sindel said as she looked down at the sleeping form of Jose, the man was drooling.
"From the way he speaks, he sounds like if he already made plans in case of an attack from within or without." She smiled as she looked at him. "He even set up traps here" she said as she pointed at a spear aimed at her head, it had a sheet of paper hanging from it.
The words on the paper simply said don't do it again, as for the spear itself, it hung from the ceiling of the room.
"So what do you plan to do?" Sindel asked Padme.
"I have a duty to those that remain with me, even if it's being just one more concubine but as long as I can keep them safe" she answered Sindel.
"I have no kingdom and my people despise me. I can still see their eyes filled with hate when I was brought back to life. The Empress that betrayed them and selfishly took her own life" they said.
"I guess I'll have to start over, he'll need an advisor and I guess we will be sisters," Sindel said as she looked at the sleeping man, he wasn't her first choice not by a long shot, but she had met and seen far worse.
(elsewhere)
The realms had changed torn by an anomaly and altered forever. Earth realm shook as the battles grew more and more intense.
Gods from distant realm had come and began to carve out their own kingdoms, when they realized that they could not return from where they came from.
Warriors of old and new fought to protect those that arrived with them. Those with the means searched for a safe location to regroup and found one, unknowingly forcing a portal to open and drag everyone that wasn't native to Earth Realm away.
Raiden watched unable to interfere, his powers temporarily removed by the animals
He was forced to watch, even as he was saluted by visions of several other realms going thru the same thing, yet they all ended up with the same outcome, the invaders were dragged away.
Now all that was left was one big mess and the knowledge that whoever these strangers were they would undoubtedly return.
Now Earth Realm needed to prepare for what was to come
