Republic city: Swers

The group ran for almost an hour through the sewers, taking corners and climbing through ladders and maintenance tunnels getting them properly lost as well as from the cops. They stopped at some kind of break or supply station, Havoc sat on a bench "Well- huff- now what?" he gasped as he caught his breath. Venessa leaned forward with her hands on her knees "well… I don't think were Merc City, that's for sure.

" What makes you say that?" He answered

"I don't recognize anything, the clothes, that car, hell I've never seen any kind of power like those peoples before!"

Havoc raised an eyebrow "maybe we're just on another side of the city? Or maybe in a whole other city entirely?"

"Nah!" the black,mask-wearing man said as he sat down "I've been in all kinds a' sewers in Merc City. evn' tha oldest don't look like these." he tapped the wall before taking a massive swig from a bottle

BANG! They all jumped as Moses broke into a locker and began taking everything that looked useful "We're in enemy territory. I say well kill everyone and return to base" He reached for a first aid box

The sniper Reshiram nodded her head "maybe not as extreme but we should be cautious. We have no idea where we are. Personally, I think we're a lot further from home than we think."

"Why do ya say that?" Havoc returned

"The way that woman acted when she saw me. She looked like she saw a poke-born before, let alone a fortress-born."

"Aye! One of those baddies nearly jumped out of tha' skin when they looked at meh!" The Scotsman answered

Venessa nodded "And that girl, she looked lost when I started talkin about sharing the reward."

"Ah!" Havoc reached into a pocket and pulled out his phone "Here, I'll figure out where we are." He tapped and scrolled for a moment before looking up at the waiting group "no service, probably because we're in a sewer…" The rest nodded as Havoc chucked at the newer mercs expense

Venessa broke the momentary silence "Welp. Here's the plan." Moses poked his head up at the word "We'll head topside, and try the phone." she nodded to Havoc "No dice and we look for a map or ask around. Seth." she looked to the Scotsman "You and I should wear disguises while were out and about. I don want to scare away any help again." he nodded as he reached into a locker and pulled out some clothes that at the moment he touched the open leaver, cloths that were their team color and size appeared.

After changing in the supply station they made their way to a ladder and manhole cover. It took some time to open the half rusted cover but was out eventually. "Try your phone Havoc." The Merc pulled it back out and looked into the screen for a few moments then looked back at them with a concerned look "Still no service." "Ah, you're doing it wrong!" Moses yelled and took the phone from him, after some fiddling ending with nothing Venessa sighed "Alright, let's find a map." she buried her head in the hood of a dark red cloak, the shoulders were marked with ironsight symbols.

The sun was starting to set and most shops were closed so buying one was out of the question. Eventually, Havoc got tired of looking and just asked a random man "Hey, what city is this?" The guy looked confused at the ski mask-wearing man but answered "Republic city."

He nodded back "Thanks, know where we can find a map?"

The stranger raised an eyebrow and pointed to a bus stop "There's one at every bus stop."

"Nice!" Havoc waved as he ran over to it, the team following behind

"No problem?" the man waved back, confused.

They all crowed around the bench and awning, looking at a small map of the city. "This… doesn't look familiar…"

"OF COURSE IT DOES!" Moses pulled a world map out of his mess of supplies and searched the atlas. "Republic city, Republic city... " They all watched him search, he even pulled a magnifying glass out of nowhere "AH-HA!"

"Finally!"

"You found it?"

"Wha?"

They all said at once. "Yes!" He nodded We are not on earth!" he said matter-a-factly. They all stared at him "Impossible!" Venessa grabbed the atlas out of his hands and sat down on the bench. The others look over her shoulder as she searched through. "You… may be right…" She said after some time after checking if the map was up to date.

"Hmmm, ah have heard of mercs goin missin an showin up sayin nonese about other worlds before. Always thought it was nonsense." Seth mused as he rubbed his chin, the mask wore a confused look.

"But how? We were just teleported!... Right?" Havoc returned

Venessa closed the atlas and handed it back to Moses "Magic isn't an exact science… In that case were lucky we ended up somewhere we can breathe the air, or where people speak the same language for that matter…" They all sat there for a few minutes as the sunset, taking in the information.

"What now?" Havoc broke the silence as the light disappeared and the street lamps flickered on.

Venessa looked at the bus stop map for a moment and nodded "The Factory district is here." she pointed to an area near the docks "In a city like this and from what I can tell from this is, is that there are a ton of warehouses. I bet there are some there that have been abandoned from lack of use, there, we can set up fortress for now. We make ourselves at home." they all grinned at those words "After that, we look for some work."

"Aye! In a place like this, there's always work for mercs!" Seth nodded as the mask winked

"Indeed" Venessa agreed "We should also learn as much as we can about the area. Every day while were not working Two of us will go out and get as much info as they can and report back in the evening." She ripped the map from the wall and stood "Out of everything our main priority-" she turned to the others "Is to find a way back home. Got it?" she was answered by a "Yes Ma'am!" she smiled "Then let's get moving team light assault!"
