It took a few moments for Elle to compose herself. She pulled away slightly from Rita but still held on to her. Her face was still teary and she only shook her head at Libra's question. After taking a few deep breaths, she moved to take Rita's hand.

"I don't know if there are any others... I don't know who did all this..."

"The least we can do is start searching," Grandpa Max began to lift rubble, bit by bit. "Elle, you might want to look away. Aside from such, I might need all hands on deck for this. Any sign of a little meow is a sign of life. With that, we'll be able to find your cat in no time."

The Member's Quarters were located in a similar section of Knowhere to many of the living quarters of various groups stationed there. Unfortunately, most, if not all, of the quarters were buried in debris. Finding belongings or exploring member's rooms would not be possible.

For the Coalition members, a large lobby and common area made up the entrance, though the pristine whites present in the original architecture was battered and dulled. Not a soul was in sight, though one particular object lay in the middle of the lobby in plain view: a storage box.

@Alex Azure @York @Members' Quarters



The figure, whoever it was, remained frozen. Soon enough, Rita found herself face-to-face with a little girl.

"Um, y-you... what are..." The girl was kneeling on the floor, pushed up against the back of the counter. She trembled and shimmied backward from Rita. "E-Everyone's... d-d..."

Schala looked a little downcast seeing that there didn't seem to be signs of life around... But... Seeing that there might be something of use in the storage box, she cautiously decided to investigate the box, likely opening it if nothing suspicious came out of her inspection...​

Slowly and carefully, Mason approached the storage box.

"Schala, watch my back. I don't want anything sneaking up on us. I'm getting a similar vibe to Kira's house. I swear, if this is another box full of hands..."

Mason attempted to open the storage box after a brief inspection by Schala.

"It's... Elle..." The little girl wrapped her arms around herself and shivered. She looked down at her feet and eventually began to sob. "I've been all alone... alone for so long!" Suddenly, the girl got up and reached out to Rita. She ended up tripping over her own feet and falling into Rita. There she lingered, holding the older woman and crying.

@Lucky @Yun Lee @Alex Azure @Crow @Med Bay
"You're not alone now, Elle," Libra said gently, kneeling down beside Rita. He couldn't even begin to imagine how terrifying this must be for such a small child... "We're going to help you, all right? Are you hurting anywhere?"

@Atomic Knight @Lucky @Crow @Alex Azure @MedBay​
Rita Hanson

" It's nice to meet you Elle," she said and she felt terrible. It felt so weird to think that Othinus had left someone for them to find. She didn't want to upset her ask how long and allowed her to reach her. Even though she hadn't planned to hold her, she caught her and let her hug her and cry. " It's okay, let it out," she said, rubbing her back and hoping to get her to calm down.

@Atomic Knight @Yun Lee @Crow @Alex Azure @MedBay
"I guess that means you and us had something in common," Grandpa Max says with a light smile, "I am Magister Tennyson. You can call me Grandpa Max. We'll help you out. That is not only our job, but also our own obligation."

Max looks around.

"Before we leave, let's check if there's others here."

"A cat? Well, we certainly can't let a sweet little kitty stay lost. Elle, my name's Macy and I'm glad to help. What does your little kitty look like? Where did you last see them?"

The box seemed normal, though, upon the box's opening, a white powder exploded out and blinded Mason. The sound of metal on metal could be heard and suddenly there was a sword against the boy's throat. The wielder was tall, sporting silver hair, and looking haggard. He looked worn out from battle and was noticeably missing an eye.

"I knew you would not be able to resist looting in the aftermath," said the man through gritted teeth. He glared at Schala, as if daring her to make a move. "You creatures of despair, tell me where the rest of your kind lurk."

@Alex Azure @York @Members' Quarters



"Um, okay..." Elle nodded but refused to let go of Rita's hand. "His name is Rollo. He's big, white, and fluffy, with grey on his face and tail. I dropped him when I ran into this room and..." The girl closed her eyes. "There was lots of rumbling. Things fell..."

As far as could be gathered from the area, there was no sign of this cat.

Rita Hanson

Rita was happy that the young girl has composed herself and noticed that she had become this child's unofficial protector and she was fine with this as it would seem as she let the little girl take her hand and wondered if the girl could describe the cat.

She didn't notice any sign of the cat in the room. She looked over at Elle. " Do you remember where in here exactly you dropped the cat?" She asked, looking for possible exits the cat could have taken to leave the room.

@Atomic Knight @Yun Lee @Alex Azure @Crow @Med Bay
 
"He may have gotten out and is still somewhere nearby. Cats are rather lucky after all," Libra said, looking around. "Er...perhaps one of us should stay with Elle in here?" He didn't want to traumatize her further by exposing her to even more corpses.

Chise and Ruth followed to the med bay.

"Maybe Ruth here can help him?" She suggested.

"That's me." Ruth said as he approached her cautiously, so not to scare the girl. He tried to see if he could pick up her cat's scent.

Schala jumped back in surprise, raising her hands as she realized what likely happened.

"... Despair? I... We're not..." She trailed off, trying to get her thoughts straight.

Rubbing her temples briefly, she tried speaking again, this time... Hopefully making a bit more sense.

"We were looking for survivors... ... I was afraid there weren't any left..." She said, her eyes darting towards the knife at Mason's throat for a moment.

Of course, she wasn't going to make any rash moves, but... If push came to shove, she had to take sure no-one else died...​
 
The man seemed to hesitate, though he did not move his blade.

"If you are not a survivor, then you are a killer. Despair taken form that destroyed the Coalition. Make your next words count."

@Alex Azure @York @Members' Quarters



The scent of death was too strong to pick up a cat... at least at first. Elle only pointed deeper into the Med Bay, where the cat's scent happened to be present, though faint. It led to a pile of metal and debris.

"Well... I guess a throne room? Not that I would say that's a fitting description, but..." Touma could only say to Severa, remaining on edge a bit as he ventured through the devastated Knowhere.

As they finally reached their destination, passing through the doorway into the Command Center, the air would suddenly feel different as they entered. Not quite in an overt manner, but still noticeable, enough for Touma to audibly take notice at least, like a wave of air or something else had passed over them, and now everything felt... colder. Heavier, even. Like there was some sort of energy coursing through this place.

"Hey... I didn't imagine that, did I?" Touma questioned to those who followed him, looking around cautiously, wondering if this could be some sort of trap.​

Schala frowned... Evidently the coalition was destroyed, but where there were survivors... There were hope.

"... In a way... We are survivors... Just that... ... You could say we're not... From this reality..." She said, frowning a little.

Keeping her hands raised, she carefully looked over the man in front of her, noticing his desheveled state... And the fact that he was missing an eye. Though she knew some healing spells, she decided against offering to heal him just yet; he might mistake it for an act of hostility.​
 
Libra would use his gravitational abilities to move the debris off alongside Max. His staff was at the reasy, in case the cat responded with hostility towards the old man.

"...ugh. I felt that, too," Severa said, shuddering a bit. "But we won't stop Othinus if we let a little draft stop us!" Without hesitation, Severa stepped into the room, hoping to get a better look around for the source of that energy.

"Oh, there's something alright," Ben says, dialing his Omnitrix and preparing his next transformation.

He looks at Severa opening the door.

"Let's all be quiet..." he whispers as he stepped in behind her.

"...!"

Visibly surprised by Othinus's sudden disappearance, Leivinia was actually left speechless for a moment. So it did work after all. They could still take her down. Her surprised expression making way for a smirk, she didn't even mind as Touma decided to take charge for them and walked into the Command Center with him and a few of the others.

"I actually agree with both of you," she spoke quietly. "Let's find out what's going on here."

"Fuck. I've changed my mind, I'd take the hands," Mason thought.

Mason felt the cold metal of a blade against his neck. With his vision stolen he kept his mouth shut, listening to the two. He learned his lesson taunting Othinus with his performance in the void, and knew that their attacker wouldn't bring him back from annihilation. All the while, he focused on his powers. Unlike his sister, his sixth sense wasn't strong. At most, he might get a brief glimpse of the auras that surrounded him. So, with a brief glimpse of the hearts nearby, he saw two nameless souls. From one soul he heard Schala's voice. In reply came another familiar voice. He wondered who it came from, though he couldn't match it to a name. Though there were a few memories of the word 'despair' being thrown around recklessly at the Coalition.

"You're from Makoto's world, aren't you? With the killing games and despair bears, I can see why you hate despair so much. However, if you really want to get rid of despair..."

Swords appeared in Mason's hands in a flash. With his left hand sword, he parried their attacker's sword, swiping it away from his neck. Although it left a mark on his skin, at least it hadn't sliced something vital yet. With his right, he thrust forward, slicing into the darkness and hoping he hit his mark.

"...you're going to have to start with this despair-filled heart right here!"

@Atomic Knight @York @Member's Quarters
"Um, okay..." Elle nodded but refused to let go of Rita's hand. "His name is Rollo. He's big, white, and fluffy, with grey on his face and tail. I dropped him when I ran into this room and..." The girl closed her eyes. "There was lots of rumbling. Things fell..."

Grandpa Max lifts the debris piece by piece to get to the cat.

Macy helped Libra and Max in moving the debris. Although she had a slender frame, it looked as if she could lift just as well as Max could. Though, with his age, how much did that really mean?

"C'mere, Rollo Rollo Rollo! Where's the good boy hiding?"
Macy said in a higher pitched, childish voice, as if she were talking to a baby.

"..."


Giorno wordlessly acknowledge Touma's question, as he felt the cool air rush against his hands and nibble away at his fingers as if the cold had some kind of malicious, purposeful intent. It wasn't unlike the atmosphere of Yoshikage Kira's home back in Morioh-cho - a putrid malice thinly veiled beneath an innocuous presence. The thought alone was enough to bring Giorno's mind back to Morioh, but Jotaro yanked the young don back to reality with a heavy pat on the back, silently raising his hand and gesturing the group to push forward into the room.

The two Stand users naturally covered Touma's flanks, walking on either side of him and brimming with an otherworldly presence as their respective Stands lay waiting within their bodies, ready to spring upon the enemy at the slightest provocation.
