The "Crystal Palace" at the Nexus of all Realities (often considered to be within the M'Kraan Crystal, though it is in fact apart from and outside all other realities). Various incarnations of the mediator, the Timebroker, call this place home.

 "So what? We're here to take orders from some flamboyant fagot in a pink suit that calls himself the 'Time Broker'?" A man says, as he makes his way into the area in order to hear out the male that was telling them what was to be happening in this place that they had ventured into. Raising a hand to slip the hood from off his head, Abaddon West casually chuckles to himself, while the male beside him takes a step forward and casually slaps the backside of Abaddon's head sending him bending forwards slightly, and causing a slight snap as Abaddon's neck appears to crack and break from the force of the hit to his head. "Shut up, Abaddon. There is no need to piss off someone in their own home. Use some manners now, wont you? It's not necessary to be throwing around insults, as funny as they may seem to you.." Crius himself chuckles faintly, more so at the reaction of Abaddon's neck breaking at such a seemingly light smack. But soon Abaddon rose both hands up, letting them fall from his sleeves as he grabs either side of his head and then snaps it back into place like there wasn't a problem at all. The multiple tones of flesh that covered his body, from the multiple different limbs and parts that he had used over his life time, in order to piece himself together in an accurate fashion.  Crius on the other hand, kept his hood up covering his face, the golden colored sunglasses that he bore on his face, reflecting slightly out of the shadows of the hood as he casually crossed his arms across his chest and looked around. This act of looking around was more of a display then anything else. He was actually gazing around with the full 360º vision that he gained from having the Byakugan in his body. It seemed that they had been called here to clear out some worlds. That wouldn't be too hard Crius figured. It was only killing, and afterall killing was these two Angra Mainyu member's specialties. With the clans they possessed, the ability and will to kill were very important. Otherwise you could not gain the strength that they had, in the amount of time that they had been alive in this world. "Now lets hear out what else he may have to say. I'm curious about the states of these worlds that he is saying need help" Crius says, after a moment's pause from his previous statement in order for his thoughts to run through. "Heh. I don't really care, I just want to go kill something. Other then that, I don't really even want to hear what this girl has to say... Why don't we just kill him, and then we can have full reign on everywhere?" Abaddon says, with a sinister little grin sweeping across his face. "Because if we do that, I'm sure we'll be stuck here or something. That just is not worth our time in the end.. So leave this man be, and stop insulting him, we're guests." Crius says, with half the mind to smack Abaddon once again. This was the first time they were in the same area together, and Abaddon was already partially annoying Crius.

 Hedoro didn't actually move her head, but at the same time she was looking around in confusion. This place, this mass of shaped spires of crystals, felt weird. She didn't know just how she had been brought here, nor did she know why. The why was resolved a moment later, when the stranger with the dubious name of Time Broker, announced that 'they' had been gathered to fix the multiverse. Hedoro didn't really care much about her own world, as long as it continued to provide her meals, that was all she really cared about. But the prospect of going to other worlds was still somewhat interesting. Maybe the people in those worlds would taste different than the ones she usually ate? That wasn't a chance that came along too often. So even though it grated on her to take orders, the reward would seem to be worth at least a little obedience. And if she just happened to eat somebody she wasn't supposed to, then there was nothing to be done about it. After all, if she was chosen for a reason, that reason would almost certainly be undifferentiated devouring. Even as she thought this, she took a bite out of one of the crystalline walls, though the taste wasn't particularly pleasant. There better be real food, and soon, or she would become rather annoyed.  Tamao had arrived a bit earlier than the others, so they perhaps hadn't seen her own bout of nervousness at this sudden example of multi-dimensional physics. Oh, she had known about alternate dimensions, there was no question of that. That was where she stored her blades, after all. But alternate, parallel worlds? That seemed a bit of a stretch. Normally, she probably wouldn't believe it without at least seeing it. And yet, here she was, in a crystalline building. It was huge, she had already done a little exploring, just enough to realize that huge didn't even begin to cover it. There was no chance of a place like this going undiscovered in the world they had come from. No, she would have to assume the Time Broker was telling the truth. At least for the most part. Just because he, or she, had the power to bring them here didn't necessarily mean that his or her view of how to fix those other worlds was the right one. She wouldn't, couldn't blindly obey. She would investigate before taking major action. For now, though? She was sitting at a table, composed of that same rosy pink crystal, sipping at a cup of eta as she watched the other arrivals' reactions. Quite an eclectic group, that was for sure.

The Time Broker only walked around the palace as he looked at the first two males that came to his palace. He gave a slight chuckle when one said something about killing him.
"Silly male. If I could pluck you through time and space..What makes you think I can't kill you? I could go back to when you were a mere thought..and kill your grand parents or whatever you are."
The time broker turned his head to the girl now trying to eat his castle. He looked at her and only shook his head no.
"ugh. I had to deal with a planet of you before. It was not fun. they kept eating...and eating..trust me as soon as finish this you can eat as much as you can. I promise."
The Time Broker continued. As he walked he waved his hands over the Crystal Palace. He looked as his hands waved various items started to shine through the sky.
"The problem are these..These Weapons..Items..have all been causing problems through out the universe.. I need you to capture them..and bring them to me..so I can properly distribute them to the right worlds. Currently the problem is this one."
The Time Broker pointed to the Power Gem.
"This has invaded this Earth..and A Man by the name of Tarble has it..he has taken over the Ninja Nation.I need this Gem back..and I need a rebellion started..to stop Tarble's Reign...understand? I will be dropping you in a ball...."
The Time Broker looked at them and he shook his head. None of them looked the part of the ball. He clapped his hands and each one of them was changed to some type of Ball/Prom wear. He shook his head.
"Much Better. Please take this time to get to know one and another..and then you can step into the teloporter and you will be sent to the world below? Any other questions?"
The Broker said with a smile.

Onishi listened calmly to the Time Broker. However, the truth was that she was not feeling all that much calm. The others in the room seemed to be having problems with this and she agreed. However, what she was more worried about was their benefactor. If he was so strong, then why was it that they had to do his dirty work? She listened to the others as they talked and stood for a while. She looked toward Ranmaru. She had not really worked with him in a while and wondered why it was them going on this mission and not at least one senior member.
Ranmaru sat quietly through what the Time Broker and when he was done Ran just got up and went for the teleporter. He was not too interested in meeting anyone else in honestly. He was only interested in finishing the jobs.

 Hedoro grumbled for a bit, but reluctantly stopped eating the building. Promises weren't worth much, you couldn't eat them. But if there was truth in what the Time Broker said, that there was an entire world full of beings like herself, she would have to follow directions. She'd very much like to see such a world, see what sort of cuisine her kind would eat when it had it's proper place in the hierarchy of nature. The top. After all, humans were the majority here, they bred faster than she could eat them. So they were in charge, for the most part. When the Time Broker snapped his fingers and changed their attire, it took her a second to notice, as her personality had shifted with her appearance. In the manner of those outdated mood rings, her color indicated her mood. At the moment she was white, innocent for the most part, and relatively cheerful. Her rags had disappeared, exchanging themselves for something that wasn't all that encompassing, but still modest enough for a being like her. Troublesome. She didn't have any other questions at the moment, so she glanced toward the teleporters.  Tamao finished her tea as she listened to the mission specifications. Start an uprising, and steal a gem of power from the current governmental leader's son? That was no short order. They could manage it, hopefully. It certainly wouldn't be easy, though. Her planning was interrupted when she felt a gust of wind, as her voluminous cloak and mask disappeared, leaving her in a formal white dress. Feeling almost naked in the sparse outfit, she blushed furiously, folding her arms over her chest. "So you want us to get this gem, and start a rebellion? Does that mean we are to leave the current leader alive to fight the rebellion? Or can we overthrow the government ourselves, and leave the rebellious forces to take over once we leave?" She didn't really like the idea of being asked to eliminate the leader of the other world, but she needed to at least know what sort of options they had. "And also, what's with this outfit!" (More challenging than I thought to find a formal wear pic for Hedoro.)

"What is this s**t? I don't want to be dressed in these Rags! What the Fu—" Abaddon had begun, entering a slight temper filled rant at his sudden change from his normal cloak and jeans to the higher class wear required for entering the ball. Dressed in a plain black suite, a stark white tie accented across his chest with the Angra Mainyu's crimson symbol pinned to the edge of the tie just beneath the knot. Abaddon actually looked half way decent, certainly much more then his normally scattered flesh looked when he was dressed normally. Of course with his first few words being spoken, Crius took the necessary time to instead of settling his own appearance, he rose his left hand and slammed it into the side of Abaddon's face. Sending the male cleanly rocketing backwards with the use of a tad of his Telekinetic principles from his Orochi power, in order to literally fling Abaddon through the teleporter and out of the room entirely. A rather forceful and perhaps rash action on his part, but it certainly quieted the room down a little. Lowering his hand slowly, he brings his hands together and casually tugs the plain white gloves back into place before then adjusting the clasps of the buttons on his cuff.
Crius wore a single breasted black suit, with a crimson tie. The shirt under his suit was a vivid white color. Instead of the usual sunglasses he wore upon his face. His sunglasses were exchanged for a thin black kind, that easily revealed his currently light gray eyes to which peaked over the top at those around him that he was looking at. His hands now raised to adjust the collar of his suit, he looks around at each member that was here with a momentary pause on each. Taking them all in, even the ones that were leaving so swiftly in order to memorize who was with him, perhaps? Crius Akasun chuckles casually to himself, and lowers his hands, at the same time a slight flick of his right wrist produced a plain black Fedora styled hat with a crimson band around it's top. Raising the hat casually, he places it onto his head and then plasters his gaze onto Tamao for a moment. Through similar process of elimination, and the details he had been given previously from Zaman. He knew quite well who this particular female was, although he was expecting someone a tad deal more rough looking, then what he saw. Shaking his head slowly and adjusting the hat upon his head so it partially shadowed his eyes. Crius turned in a slow circle and then began walking forwards towards the teleporter. "This is a Ball we are going to, is it not? I doubt we will need to remain here and communicate. When we can form any number of plans once we are there, and know what we are dealing with. So we might as well jump right in, and get down to business." He hadn't gone to anything this formal in a long time anyway, this should be very interesting for Crius, and he was looking forward to it.

The time Broker noticed a few new people and he only walked towards them. He stuck his bottom lip out as he glanced back at his new team of assassins. He looked at the one who asked him the questions.
"Kill the leader..If you wish..This union can't stay like this or the world will destroy itself eventually. OVer Throw the leader youself if you want..It doesn't matter...as long as Tarble is out of power. IF you want to save yourself some leg room..then start a rebellion with his men. As long as Tarble is out of power..then you have completed your mission."
The Time Broker looked at the happy slime girl. It only put a strange look on his face. He remembered happiness once. But he could be happy once these small things were returned to him.
"The outfit..I think it's cute."
The Time Broekr said with a grin.

"Understood. One way or another, Tarble shall be removed from his position." With that decision made, Tamao got to her feet, finished her tea and walked over to the teleporter before vanishing within it's field and being sent to the site of their mission. She still felt awkward in such a flimsy outfit, but there was nothing to be done about it at the moment. Once they had left the ball, then hopefully she could return to her typical attire. Hedoro, her cheerfulness just as authentic as her normal mode was voracious, smiled at the comment, her umbrella twirling, showing it was just as alive as the rest of her. Nodding her head, she trotted after everyone else, jumping into the teleportational field. She would return to her more serious form soon enough, but for now she'd enjoy the change in perspective. She was still hungry, of course, though it was a more restrained hunger.

 Loki looked around carefully as he was pulled from the center of his village to this... Crystal Palace. He listened silently to the Time Broker as he spoke. A revolution... why? to what end? that was all quickly explained and with a wave of energy from the Broker all those in attendance had their ensembles changed to fit that of a Prom/Party of sorts that they were going to be crashing. " Causing trouble rather than stopping it this will probably be very much fun won't it Serenity?" Loki said aloud all others save possibly the time broker would assume he was just talking to himself but the Broker he may be able to see a second being hiding within Loki. " Keep your head together Loki otherwise you'll make mistakes." Serenity replied telepathically to Loki. The energy meant to change outfits washed over Loki and his outfit did not change as he was already dressed in a suit and the mask he removed himself sealing it inside of another scroll he would wait to bring out the mask should he ever need it. ((Loki is already dressed formally smile mostly anyway))

"Can we leave yet?" The Howard twins groan in unison as they sit across from one another on the ground. By the way their arms are positioned, raised in the air with palms outwards towards the other twin, one can guess that they are playing patty cake. Pacing the room is Ella who can't seem to pry her eyes away from Waijen across the room from her. The group had arrived late so the Chimera was attempting to gather information from the surroundings to find out what was missed. "We're going to die of boredom!" The twins exclaim as Ella frowns at them. Waijen makes his way over as the twins begin their game again. "Patty cake, patty cake, baker's man..."
"So what did you find out?" Ella asks as the twins can be heard in the background. Waijen, standing in his humanoid form rather than his preferred canine form, looks from Ella to a portal and then back. As he explains things the twins switch their game to Hot Hands.
"Yow! Scion that hurt!" Lucifer cries out as Scion bellows a laugh.
"Formal wear? A simple shift in appearance then? Since the twins are already pretty formal that just leaves you and I." Ella replies to Waijen who can be noticeably seen frowning despite his lack of facial features. "What's the matter?"
"I don't do formal. You all will have to leave me behind," the chimera snorts as Ella smirks at him. He would not look at her but avert his gaze. He knew, deep down, it was only a matter of time before he caved in. In the background the twins can be seen reciting a nursery rhyme in the background using their hands... Itsy Bitsy Spider.

Onishi and Ranmaru returned to the Crystal Palace. All things considered, they really did not do much on this mission, but it finished without a hitch. He smiled, this was done now. Ranmaru was the first to talk. "So whats next?"

:: Eluamous Nailo ::  Arriving into the Crystal Palace, Eluamous glanced around his surroundings before finally looking towards the employer who'd sent out the message. The theft of The Cool's colors had led him to research this call, perhaps traveling through the multiverse would find the mysterious thief. "Sorry I'm late... I'm here about a job saving the multiverse..." 'Woah! I never said I wanted this job!' 'You're a hero character, you don't have a choice. It's your duty to save the world when help is called for' 'How'd I even hear this call? I was wandering incognito avoiding the attention of Angra Mainyu, at least according to you!' 'Hey, we still have better writing than Stephanie Meyer.' 'Alright fine, I'll save the multiverse. But one more question?' 'You stated that as a question, but go ahead...' 'How am I here, and in Hidden Craftsman, at the same time?' 'Oh that's easy to explain; it involves a combination of a flux capacitor, the TARDIS, and neither you knowing about the other... Once this whole deal is over, I'll just erase this side storyline from your mind and you'll have some cool gizmo or other acquired mysteriously that you'll be gawking over for the next five posts or so.' 'WHAT?! You've been tampering with my memories?!' 'Of course, don't you remember signing your contract for this?' 'Of course I- .....................come to think of it, no, I can't.' 'Exactly. ^_^ Now c'mon, we've got a side plotline to work with that has nothing to do with your actual story; just like every other anime character's life!' Not awaiting a response from the Time Broker, the Spartan continued his entry, speaking in a manner that hinted a strong sense of pride in his abilities as a warrior, and his abilities to serve the multiverse. "Eluamous Nailo, of the Spartan Clan, at your service... Mr. Time Broker...", his spear hung over his shoulders, his weapon of choice and an advertisement of his craft. The Spartans were known for their spear techniques, in addition to being exceptionally good at killing things.

 Loki appeared in the entry room to the Crystal Palace, "Tarble is dead as are the majority of his guards I cremated his body so the odds of ressurection are slim to none." Loki said calmly to the Time Broker "None of us were harmed much but as it stands I will rest to regain my chakra whilst we wait for the next mission." Loki said as he found himself a wall and lent against it activating the "Great Awake" technique in order to fall asleep and regain chakra at an increased pace. Serenity would wake him should she sense the need to move again.
