(Characters entered thus far, Ixion, Heihachi, Enigma, Star, Celeste, Jason, Kira, Sigkerd, Nira, Chris, and AU Chris)
Right as the clocks struck midnight in London, two surges of power, one pure and brilliant appearing in the northern hemisphere in the deserted regions around the north pole, and the other dark and mystifying appearing near the center of the south pole, almost at the same.
On the North Pole, in the new city with walls of golden metal embedded with bright yellow gems, a woman in a suit of plate mail armor with a chain mail shirt both made of this golden metal, opens her hands wide and says, "With the power of the light, I send my message across the eight skies, I beacon those of Light, to assist us in stopping our evil cousins, the Meldrands, from taking your realm!" While she says this, she thinks as her hair moves into her eyes, The one I will fall in love with is here, but where in all of Light could he be?
On the South Pole a city with a gigantic palace made of black metal and black gems appears with it, a good number of people.
Meanwhile, on the South Pole, a tall man with a short black hair, with a slightly muscular build looks up into the air at the moon, and says to himself, "I feel the one that will be my love here, but where in the name of Darkness could they be?
A shadow slips through the cracks of a black metal wall studded with opals, than as it enters the building, takes a human form with short black hair and garbed in heavy looking plate mail with a long flowing cape, the people in the city bows down as they see as he whispers, "Across the shadows, across my domain, hear my voice, those that join me will live, those that resist or refuse will face a fate worse than death."
Chris napping in a tree, is woken up my a energy surges that he could feel with every fiber of his being, hears both messages, but unable to make out the words, but knows one was a call for help in the north, the other a threat south somewhere. He than jumps down from the tree thinking, If I felt it, Star, for sure felt it, lets try the cry for help, Star is sure to head there. After he thinks that lifts himself up into the air with his powers and propels himself at super sonic speeds, passing an airplane almost like it wasn't moving.
The other Chris, looking at the deaths caused by shower of needles in an iron mine, laughs, as he feels the energy surges, which causes him to stop laughing, and looks towards first the north and than the south, with a sour expression on his face as he receives the threat, but not the cry for help which simply passed him over. He than sinks down into the earth, to the mantle and propels himself towards the South Pole.

(Just so you know, Black isn't the best of colours to use when making text.)
Jason fiddled with his sword. He did see the surges of power coming from the north and south, and both the plea and warning that came with them. However, he remained inactive. Going to either Pole was a suicide mission for him. As much as he wanted to smack the person that gave the power of Darkness a bad name, and as much as he wanted to find this woman and see if he should even bother writing her name down in his book, he hated the cold. That was natural, of course. He was a reptile necrival, after all. So, he would wait, he would wait and see what unfolded before he took action.
*South Pole*
"Wow, and I thought old Professor Alcks had some pretty crappy recruitment threats." A voice said from behind the man in black armour. Ixion folded his arms as him and his friend Heihachi walked around in front of the man. The demon smirked. "Hey, we saw your little want ad. What you need are two trained professionals."
Heihachi nodded, adjusting his dark robes. "And fortunately for you, we have training in spades."

*Eden*
Signals began to go off everywhere. "What's going on?" demanded one man in green armor.
"Energy levels on Terra are going off the charts," a woman at a console informed him. "Something landed on either pole, and they are most definitely not supposed to be there."
"What's the status of the deployment preparations for the new S units?"
"Cypher is still undergoing stabilization protocols. Bombadier is under quarantine following the brawl he initiated earlier in the week. Celeste is available for assignment."
"Send her out immediately."
"Yes, sir!"
*North Pole*
"Nobody's taking this realm, not even your cousins," a pink-haired girl answered from the wall she was leaning against nearby. The Chosen One must have teleported in as soon as she heard the message. While she was dressed in t-shirt and jeans, a pink glow surrounded her, a protective aura that kept the cold at bay. "Not while I'm around, so you can just sit back on your pretty little posterior and keep your petty conflicts out of our world."
*South Pole*
"Why would you want to do something silly like that?" The little girl that had suddenly appeared before the man of shadows seemed out of place among all the darkness, annoyingly cheerful as she hovered in the air before him with a white kitten perched on her head. "You're not gonna make many friends threatening them like that, and that's not very fun."

-Ixion, Heihachi, Nira- The man in the armor laughs, "Friends, hah, I do not require friends, but allies are at times a benefits to both parties," than more directed to Nira, "Thats not your true form, now is it. No small child knows magic like that." Not even turning to look at them, he than says to Ixion and Heihachi mainly, "Quite frankly, if you can manage to pull off a simple task, delay the others, long enough for me to preform my true reason for coming here, you will be rewarded quite handsomely."
-Star- The girl turns to look at Star, quite surprised anyone managed to get in so quickly, "Ma'am, I quite certain that you would not be able to take care of them alone, but seeing you in her brings me some relief, that anyone responded. I would have had the conflict happen on our worlds, but they traveled here, and we followed to stop them." She than pauses for a moment, before adding, "My name is Marsha, by the way, ma'am."

*South Pole*
"Magic like what?" the girl asked, tilting her head in confusion.
*North Pole*
"The Metacarbon "Star" is correct," another woman, designed to look like an angel, said as she landed before the two. "Your presence will only serve as a hindrance, and the longer you remain, the greater the threat of contamination is. You should leave at once, and both of you should leave this in more capable hands."
Star scowled at that. "Metacarbon, huh? That means you're another Edenite. Well, at least you guys are finally coming to actually do the job you claim you're here for, instead of hounding those of us who always have to do it for you."

*South Pole* The man laughs at her being so naive, "Teleporting, Class 4 spell. Levitation, Class 2 spell. At your apparent age a child prodigy would at the most have mastered a Class 3 spell, much less a Class 4 spell."
*North Pole* The girl looks confused for a moment, before asking, "Metacarbon? Edenite? I'm lost... I am not a hindrance, I am a highly trained General of an army," as sphere of light appear next to her finger tips.

*South Pole*
But the girl just tilts her head to one side and grins widely, giggling. "You talk funny, Mister! What's your name?"
*North Pole*
Both the human and the Edenite hold out their hands and do the same.
"Let me explain," Star answered, motioning toward the angel. "She's an Edenite, an artificial lifeform from a race that believes its their job to watch over Earth."
"Terra," Celeste corrected.
But Star ignored her. "They call humans Carbons because we're carbon-based lifeforms. Since I'm more powerful than your average Carbon, she refers to me as a Metacarbon."
"You're also in violation of your parameters," the angel again pointed out, but again, the Chosen One ignored her.

*North Pole*
Jason appeared walking through what seemed to be a sort of portal. The air shimmered around him, and the frozen ground around him seemed to give off steam as he walked towards the thre women. He automatically paused before approaching them, taking out a small note pad and writing something down. He pulled out a cell phone. "Yeah, thanks Pierce, I can take it from here." He said quickly. The portal faded and Jason put the phone away. He walked towards the three girls, surveying all three. He walked up to Celeste, taking her hand and falling to one knee. "Oh, fairest Lumina, behold your humble servant, Emperor Combateare of your faithful children the Necrival. I have heard your request, and I assure you that you have my full cooperation, you and your beautiful followers may command me as you see fit."
*South Pole*
Ixion raised an eyebrow. "Oh, one of those "rewarded handsomly" types. Look here pal, we- ugh!" Heihachi elbowed Ixion in the ribs.
"Who are these others, sir?" Heihachi asked politely.

Star couldn't help it. She covered her mouth with one hand to try to stifle the giggle, but it came out, anyway.
Celeste, however, was far less amused. She pointed toward Marsha. "She is the one who summoned you, Necrival. If it were my decision, I would make sure you both went back to your own worlds instead of contaminating this one."

Jason frowned as he got up to his feet. "Aw, now that's not very nice, now is it? That wasn't cold, that was downright frozen!" The young reptile sighed. He whirled around and walked to Marsha, bending down on one foot again, he lowered his head and took the woman's hand. "Of fairest Lumina, behold your humble servant... ah to hell with this." Jason got up. "Look, my name's Jason. I heard you were having some trouble, I'm so sorry I inconveniece this little tea party, if you don't want my help, I'll leave. Alright?"

*North Pole* "I see," she says, and giggles a little when Jason comes forward and talks to Celeste and than to her. But quickly she removes her small smile. "All the help we can get would be much needed, our cousins are quite destructive, more so than any of us, but most of us are quite talented in the healing arts."
*South Pole* "Well, Child, though we both know you are not as young as you appear, but I will tell you my name if you show your true form," he says to Nira, than without bothering to look at Ixion and Heihachi he continues on saying, "The others are the meddlesome daughters of my even more meddlesome sister, you should have felt them arrive here soon after I did, though my meddlesome sister hasn't taken a physical form, yet."

"Says you," Star started again. "I'm telling you, I can handle this myself."
"And I can handle it on my own," Celeste responded, addressing Star. "All of you should go back where you belong and allow the Edenites to deal with this outworlder."
*South Pole*
"But I AM as young as I appear," Nira answered petulantly. "How can I be any older than I am? Besides, why would I want to be a creepy old fart like you when I can be a kid?"

*North Pole*
Jasonw whirled around on the Edenit and Chosen One. "Ladies! Please, there is no need for the ego contest! If there is one thing my Master taught me, it's that it's better to be over prepared than underprepared." He growled. "Now, If I understand the situation correctly miss, you and your sisterhood are being threatened by an opposing organization, which you refer to as your cousins? Why was your conflict brought to Earth? Please understand, Earth is very important and of great interest to the Empire. I'm not exactly thrilled with the idea of it being dragged into other world's affairs."
*South Pole*
Ixion laughed out loud. "Oh! Burn! The kid got you good there, man! So, you want us to go to the other side of the Earth, kick some ass, take some names, and then come back here? Sounds pretty simple, what's the catch?"

*North Pole* "Their leader, a shadow of what was once a man, took it to this planet most likely to do what he does to every other planet, absorb it and grow more powerful. Only when he is in his human-like form have we ever been able to stop some of his attempts, in his true form he grows too powerful negating some of our strongest attacks with ease among other things. And no one has ever been able to handle him alone it normally takes squads to simply irritate him enough he moves to another planet but now is the first time he moved to another universe."
*South Pole* Right as Ixion laughs, Shawn turns to look at him a fires a blast of shadow energy that traveled beside his head and when it crashed into the wall, it caused a massive section of the wall to be demolished, he than turns back to Nira and say dryly, "I see, reality alteration, Class 17 magic. Interesting, one of the most advanced form of magic," than to Ixion with out pausing again, "The catch, they are highly guarded and quite powerful, not as powerful as me, but its too much a time waster to do myself."

"Oh, great," Star said to Jason. "It's bad enough we've got a race of androids breathing down our necks, but now we've got a planet eater and your bloody empire, too. Why don't you just split and save us some head-bashing now?"
"Agreed," Celeste stated. "Terra is not to be interfered with by any outside group, good, evil or neutral. Such leads to contamination of Carbon development."
*South Pole*
"So ... if you've got time ..." The girl thought for a moment, then grinned. "Wanna have a tea party?"
