"I thought you would. Very good, very good indeed." The man said, lowering his arm. "If you're still not as convinced, perhaps a target of your choice will make you more believing."

"A target of my choosing?" She repeated, knowing immediately who she wanted eliminated. But, on second thought, she'd rather do it herself. "I believe you, but what else can you do?"

The man looked at True with an evil toothy grin. He snapped his fingers again, and an earsplitting roar filled the air. Three planes flew by and dropped something nearby. As soon as the payload dropped, flames burst out and engulfed the entire city, despite this, the man, True and the pizza were unscathed.

True sat down involuntarily when the planes roared past, shielding her head with her arms. After the city was turned to flaming rubble, she slowly relaxed her impractical barrier, staring up at the man with awe.
"Wow." She blinked down at the unburnt pizza crust in her hand. "That's very cool. I accept. Or whathaveyou."

*Shawn*
The Executive nodded simply. "Don't be late for your shift." He turned and left, intending to file the proper paperwork for the shift transfer.
(Time lapse to the evening?)
*Silvite*
Jeffery turned in surprise toward the Shade, but not as much as a normal person. He did, after all, answer to a council of shades. "Heihachi. It depends on what you have in mind. She has really excelled in her field, and she is more powerful than the four of you were together, but ..." He sighed, looking up toward her window. "She's taking the passing of you and Ixion very poorly still. It hurts to see her like that."

*True*
The man nodded. 'Very good. Well, that settles it then." He said as he held out a hand for True to shake.
*Shawn*
(I don't see why not.)
*Silvite*
Heihachi nodded. I know, that's part of the reason why I have come. The man started flickering out more and more. Damn, my time is short. Listen, go to the centre o the park in that direction. Heihachi pointed to where he was talking about. I think I may have found a way to... The man disappeared and was cut off.

The alien pushed herself off the ground, stalling a second to scrutinize the hand for buzzers or insects. Then, apparently satisfied, True accepted the handshake.

*Shawn*
Later that night, Shawn managed to pass the last couple hours of his shift without recoling from Domino while she wrapped her arms tightly around him, reminding him disturbingly strongly of how an Arbok coiled around and crushed its prey, and had actually lost track of time a bit when her voice quietly and inadvertently reminded him.
"It's almost over, isn't it? Our evening."
"Yup," he answered, doing his best to sound saddened as he reminded himself to squeeze her shoulder lightly instead of just leaving the arm she had draped over her neck earlier lay limp. "Next shift should be here any minute."
"Who's got graveyard shift?" she asked, her head resting against his chest as they looked out over the water.
"Enstix," was the simple answer. Unlike the other shifts, the Midnight to Three shift had only one watchman.
*Silvite*
As soon as the shade disappeared, Jeffery took off running at a flat sprint toward the center of the park where he had been directed.

*True*
"Excellent." Glenn said, smirking as light engulfed the two of them.
*Shawn*
"That's my cue, I guess." Ted said as he walked up behind them. He immediately snapped a salute at the two, dropping it before giving them a chance to give one of their own. "Gentleman and lady, I believe it's my turn now. Please spare me the details. Just the poop."
*Silvite*
As Silvite reached the center of the park, Heihachi appeared again, this time clearer, not fizzing out at all. He was slowly becoming more opaque.

*Shawn*
Shawn didn't need to act nice around Domino when there was another around. Her hard shell snapped back around her quickly as they both stood. It was not that she hid it, but simply that she was all business.
"Domino," Shawn said without making an effort to maintain the sweet tone he had before because he knew she'd not take it, "go fill out the papers. I'll give Enstix a summary."
After she left, he turned to him with a sigh. "Phew, I thought you'd never get here. Ready?"
*Silvite*
Jeffery stopped before Heihachi again. "Alright, what's your plan?"

*Shawn*
Ted smiled. "I always am! Wait..." The executive took out a mirror and looked at himself. He pulled out a comb and pulled it once through his blonde hair. "Yeah, I'm ready."
*Silvite*
"We seek the aid of one who can reallign my disembodied self with what he would be like today if he were alive." A voice came. Another Heihachi, a live one walked up beside the shade. This one did not have his hair tied, and as such it was a scraggly mop running down to his shoulders. His sword was also more elaborate than his shade counterpart. "Allow me to introduce myself. I am Heihachi Toranaga, graduate of Doomsday Academy, master swordsman and spellcaster. I believe you have met my associate, the late Heihachi Toranaga, former student of Doomsday Academy, also a master swordsman and spellcaster."

*Shawn*
Without giving a response, Shawn took a pokeball from his waist and released Alakazam. "Let's go, you know what to do, Alakazam."
"Ala," he agreed with a nod, and a moment later, all three were teleported to outside the facility gates, as the directions instructed.
*Silvite*
This certainly got Jeffery surprised, but he remained calm in composure. "I'm going to take a crack and say the living one is one of two things. Either you're Heihachi from a dimension in which he didn't die, or you're a reconstructed body designed to serve as his reanimation."

*Shawn*
"Good to see you two show up." A voice called. Glenn strode up to the two executives.
*Silvite*
"Right as always, Silv boy!" Another voice came. Ixion leapt out of the shadows and swung his arm around Silvite's head, giving the hero a sharp noogie before releasing him. "You think a little thing like 500 armed soldiers can take this bad boy down? Clearly the other us were holding back, or something."

*Shawn*
"No offense, but after a year of trying to find a way," Shawn answered, "I'd rather skip the chit-chat."
*Silvite*
"Ixion?" he asked in surprise as he looked him over. "So you are from another dimension, then. But if you two are both here alone ..." His gaze went from joyous at seeing the others to saddened. "Let me guess. In your world, it was Karen and Epsilon that fell." He shook his head quickly. "No, you don't need to answer that."

*Shawn*
"Ah, but I'm afraid the "chit-chat" is the most important part, Mr. Rae. All buisness deals are focused on it." Glenn said, bringing his arms out. "After all, if it weren't for words, you would not be here to see me tonight, am I correct? It was my words that convinced you to come out here."
*Silvite*
The A.U. Ixion shrugged. "Eh, no harm, no foul, man. After so long, you get used to it."
The A.U. Heihachi nodded. "Yes, though I don't understand why you feel sympathy for that... traitor." Heihachi spat the last word out.
Both Ixion and the dead Heihachi looked over at their friend. "May I remind you that in this dimension that traitor's shoulders are the only ones that this dimension's version of my baby has to cry on, well, except Silv's." Ixion said coldly.
