James found himself caught by surprise by the condition of the place. Even if very technologically backward, even for standards in the Mojave. Which didn't tend to say much. Self, he had some experience working with what could be called the 'elite', primarily Mister House in New Vegas. Though he wasn't unfamiliar with the average person, that is if they're scavengers. And listening to the giant man, he had a point. It might not be wise, at least here, for a heavily armored or armed individual to just walk around. It would be a much different reason in his own world, the Brotherhood of Steel. But here, neither Titus nor he could be certain of that here. They were both more than likely unfamiliar with the area.Chapter 4 - Six feet under
Meanwhile multiple universes away in the world of Terca Lumireis a world of technology and fantasy. The second Coalition group was informed that Celsius, one of the Great Spirits, had sought refuge in this world with Revanchist in hot pursuit. This meant that the Coalition needed to follow quickly after to ensure that they found the Great Spirit before the enemy.
Using one of their portals the group would travel through and find themselves on the outskirts of a massive city.
Jude Mathis sighed, feeling exhausted. He had spent the last couple of hours tending to the wounded fighting the Revanchist forces and was only here now to fill in for a couple of the fallen fighters. As much as he wanted to be treating others right now, he couldn’t say he minded working alongside Milla Maxwell. He looked at her among the group and stared for a moment. There was a small smile on his face as he then looked up to take in the newest locale, a grand city called Zaphias located in a world that most members of the group would have described as "rustic," though Jude felt it wasn’t too unlike his own homeworld.
This world was in the midst of a medieval era, but magic was intriguingly ripe all throughout. Each city had once been protected by huge barriers that warded off the beasts lurking outside the walls. Some kind of global event had occurred and deactivated the barriers and the other ancient technologies about a year past, but the people of this world had rapidly been moving forward, reminding Jude of the quick technological advances made in his homeworld of Rieze Maxia.
The group had arrived in front of a water fountain, a lone statue in a sea of civilians minding their own daily business. Though it was no longer working as a barrier, the giant towering structure at the city's center was still an amazing display that stood among the most awe-inspiring Jude had ever seen.
Wanda Maximoff, also known as the superhero the Scarlet Witch looked at the massive city before them. “We need to be careful not to disturb the locals, from what I’ve understood from reports the entire world has been part of an event that has changed their way of living and they are still adjusting. Once we reach the city we should split up into two teams to try and gather as much information we can get. Rumors, reports about mysterious armies, anything that might help us locate Celsius before Revanchist does.”
“Oh is that all?” Bayonetta strutted up to Wanda with a smile on her face. “That should be easy enough, Luv. Though I’m not so sure how inconspicuous we are going to be. Despite the grand city in front of us this place does look a bit, backwater don’t you say?”
“It’s not up to us to judge these worlds,” Wanda replied firmly. “A lot hangs on us right now and we need to do everything to succeed.”
"Can't judge a book by its cover," Jack said, looking around at the city before them. "I've been whooped by folks half my size."
"Even so, if you need information, I'm your man." Cu Chulainn, who'd tagged along at the…"request" of his Master, winked at the group. "Say the word and I can learn whatever you need without anyone catching wise."
“I still can’t fathom I’d be this far from home, and yet still be working with a Heroic Spirit,” Riesbyfe commented idly. The Shield Knight and the Servant hailed from the same approximate universe; back before she had been whisked away from home even, Riesbyfe still knew of what the Holy Grail War was. What mage didn’t? But of course, all of that was relatively irrelevant when faced with their immediate mission.
“In any case, we should get moving. Any ideas on where we ought to start, Ms. Wanda?” The silver-haired knight inquired.
Wanda nodded. “Yes, let’s continue on and try to find something that can help us.” Listening on slightly to the locals they could hear that the city was split into three parts. One for the lowborn of the city where they were now, Midtown for the middle class and that of the Nobel quarters.
“May I give a suggestion,” Bayonetta replied. "We’d no doubt cover more ground if we split up into two teams to gather information. One group stays here and the other goes to the noble quarters. Both the poor and the rich usually talk about different things after. Once we have exhausted both options we'll rendezvous in Midtown and compare notes.”
“That doesn’t sound like a bad idea,” Wanda agreed. “Now we just have to decide who goes where.” She turned to the rest of the group to see what plans they had to gather up information. One group would stay in Lowtown to gather information while the other group would head to the Noble quarters to investigate.

Making his choice, he joins the group heading to the Noble Quarter.
The Courier didn't have to be asked twice. While he did wear a helmet, he could hear pretty well. Looking around the place, it was quite luxurious, maybe even rivaling the New Vegas Strip, maybe. Looking as Titus tried to get to work, James did get the impression he was not exactly the correct individual for this kind of work. Having seen him fight, though, he struck him more as a front line soldier or special forces than a people's person."I will be heading towards the Nobel Quarters as well," Bayonetta replied. "Places like this just give me such a dour feeling."@Sark @Crunch @Ver @Jeremi @Alex Azure @Lucky @Atomic Knight @Yun Lee @amwexia @Nobles Quarters
"I will stay in Lowtown." Wanda looked around the area. "The group seizes perhaps don't matter, considering the potential size of where the rich people live."
And so they were off. The Noble Quarters group headed up a long set of stairs into what seemed to be an open plaza.
There were a lot of people walking around as well as some sitting on the benches near the water. This seemed like it would be a perfect place to meet up with the other group once their investigation was finished.
After another set of stairs leading them even further up in the city, the group found themselves in the Nobel quarters. True to its name it was filled with posh looking mansions, actual guards stationed around and the people walking around was wearing lavish clothes. While the group seemed to be getting some weird groups from the natives, for now, it seemed that they were free to walk around and do what they pleased.
"Alright darlings." Bayonetta rubbed her hands together. "Let's listen to some gossip."
The one with him, however, seemed more as a diplomatic individual. Seeing he didn't quite have much to add to this, he simply joined the others and tried to look as much as a guard/soldier as possible. Though he wasn't exactly a soldier, he did see enough to somewhat know how to act as one.
