NotIgor
The main Gateway
Our time is now, gentlemen. Ze invasion shall proceed on schedule. I vould recommend zat you avoid conflict, but do not risk ze integrity of zis operation by saving your own life.
*he retrieves a bright blue crystal emanating an immense aura*
Zis is your target. Retrieve as much as you can. Zis crystal is powerful enough to vin zis var. As to ze purpose of zis crystal zat is on a need to know basis.
Bgammax
*Gamma heelies in and salutes the large man in charge*
Uff course sir. My men are ready and able. For ze fatherland.

*Gamma turns back to his troops and begins shouting orders*
You heard ze Kaiser. Find as many of those crystals as possible. Do not provoke conflict, but do not retreat if you can avoid it. Father Germany is relying upon us and us alone. Now, onwards soldiers.
NotIgor
*he draws a sword embellished with a crystal similar to the crystal he had in his pocket and plunges it into the gate. it flickers to light with an eerie blue glow.*
Well zen, men, march!
NotIgor
*he marches through the portal, his boots still clicking as he reaches the other side*
Bgammax
*Gamma follows NotIgor, leading his men through the portal. He's actually marching now, seems serious*
NotIgor
*the portal leads to a cityscape setting, there are several cafes and nightclubs about*
Men, begin your search. I vill not be accompanying you on zis mission. I have personal matters to attend to here. Return to this location once your search has finished. I may arrive ahead of you or behind you depending on how long your search takes.
Bgammax
*Gamma once again turns to his soldiers*
You heard him men. Our objective iz ze crystals. Leave no stones unturned. If you are met vith resistance, respond in kind. Othervise, leave ze people alone. Ve're here for ze crystals, and nothing else. Zey are ze highest priorities.
Yu-Narukami
*Yu walks up to notice the vast amount of people in strange uniforms.*

What in the world is going on here? Who are all these people?
Bgammax
*One particularly decorated man near the front of the group turns to look at Yu*

Do not vorry, citizen. Ve are not here for violence. Merely looking for somezing very important. You can move along, and enjoy your evening. Just do not get in ze way.
Cait_Sith
*A strange cat, riding on the shoulders of a soldier, yowls at Yu in German*
Yu-Narukami
*Yu looks between the decorated man and cat.*

Uh...this definitely isn't normal.
Makoto
*Makoto walks up to Yu concerned about the mass of people*

Uh, what is going on here exactly?

*She is worried by the strange group*

Hey, uh, Yu, This doesn't seem good...
NotIgor
*the brawny man returns*
My hunt has gone awry, I vill be joining your hunt
*he leers at the bystanders*
Ignore zem ve have vork to do.
Bgammax
*The officer salutes to the brawny man*
Yes sir. Ve vill follow orders to the end.
*The officer turns back to the soldiers*
You heard ze kaiser. Search, and pay no attention to anyone along the way if you can. Form squads and search zis city from top to bottom. Now, MARCH!!!
Yu-Narukami
*Yu looks over to the brawny man before looking back to Makoto.*

You don't think it's the crystals they're searching for? Do you?

*Yu glances at the crystal in his pocket.*

This may not be good if that's the case.
NotIgor
*he pulls out his crystal and puts it in a metal disk. it resonates with the disk and begins to move to a corner of the disk*
There, ve have a sense of vere to search.
*he gestures to the squad accompanying him*
MEN, zis vay!
*he marches off in the direction his crystal is moving*
Yu-Narukami
*Yu notices the strange crystal the brawny man is using.*

Hey...isn't that...

*Yu begins following behind the brawny man in his squad, making sure to keep some distance between himself and them.*
Makoto
*makoto follows behind Yu*

It seems that man is using some crystal...if thats the case lets hope he doesn't have ill intentions knowing what those crystals can do...it won't be good...
NotIgor
*he goes to another destroyed building*
Men, Guard zis location. I have personal business inside
*he enters into the building before filing through tapes*
Yu-Narukami
*Yu approaches the guards.*

I have some important business inside, don't suppose you'd let me through, would you?
NotIgor
*a gruff guard stands in front of Yu.*
Do you have ze proper badges of office?
Mona
*A completely normal cat attempts to stroll past the guards blocking the building*
Mew?
Yu-Narukami
*Yu checks his pockets before facing the guard again.*

I seem to have dropped it. but I have urgent business inside that can't wait. If you don't let me through I'm going to have to report this to the Fuhrer himself. I don't think he'll be too happy to hear that I missed the meeting because the guards outside wouldn't let me through.
NotIgor
*one of the guards behind the gruff guard notices the cat. he shrugs it off, pointing his gun at Yu.*
NotIgor
*the gruff guard seems perplexed*
I vill grant you audience, though I vill be accompanying you on the visit.
Yu-Narukami
*Yu sighs.*

I guess that will do.

*Yu decides to go along with the guard into the building.*
NotIgor
*the brawny man seems to have just finished something involving a camera, he ejects a tape from it and writes the number 736 on it.*
For ze future eh?
*he notices the two new people in the room*
Captain Frederich vhy have you let zis man into zis place? My orders vere to guard it.
*The guard responds clearly afraid*
Ehm, He said he had im-important business vith you mein fuhrer. I-I vouldn't attempt to interrupt your personal life if zis weren't true!
*the brawny man sighs*
Very vell, leave us. I wish to interrogate him meinself!
*the guard scurries back to his post*
Makoto
*Makoto hides behind a wall as she watches Yu enter the building*

Alright, guess I'll look for another way in, may seem suspicious if two people don't have badges...

*She searches for away to get in the building, as she does so, she tries her best ducking behind corners, walls, rocks and more to avoid the army's gazes. She then notices a hole on the side of the building*

There's my ticket in...*She waits for any guards to move out of the area before going into the hole. when the area seems clear she carefully goes over to the hole and goes in*
DetectiveHonoka
*Around the corner from Yu's conversation with the guard, Honoka is hiding behind the wall listening in. He whispers to himself.*

My my, so direct. In my line of work, sometimes you can't afford to do things that way.

*As he says this, his eyes drift upward to a vent, it's cover rusted and the bolts holding it in place severely weakened. A smirk curls up on the man's face.*

Jackpot.
NotIgor
*Makoto has now entered the room with the Brawny Man and Yu*
Yu-Narukami
*Yu looks over towards the brawny man.*

So, are you the one who's been leaving those tapes, after all?

Though you look a little different from the one in the previous tapes. Who are you exactly and why are you doing all this?
Cait_Sith
Miau?

*A small mew comes from the cat near Honoka. It's... German, and wearing a hat, cape, and boots. What even...?*
Makoto
*Makoto goes behind a desk in the room and takes out her notebook. She then listens in onto Yu's conversation ready to write down any information*

*She thinks to herself* Alright, hopefully he can get some info out of this guy.
NotIgor
*the brawny man seems taken aback by Yu's mention of the tapes. though he seems saddened by it too.*
I... I am not the one who left those tapes you've seen. They were left by the mes from other worlds trapped in this god forsaken loop. My name is not important, you already know it. As to why I do these things, you know of this place as the Nexus correct?
Yu-Narukami
That's what many people here decided to call it. I remember that in the tapes something about a cycle needing to be broken was mentioned multiple times, but the meaning of that hasn't fully come to light yet. So, what exactly is your goal here? To break the cycle?
NotIgor
*he sighs*
Yes. Clearly since we stand here the other mes failed... I know I likely will share their fate... but this is all that I can do.
DetectiveHonoka
*The man places the grate to the side, and climbs up into the now exposed vent. He tries to ignore the insects and occasional dead rodent as he crawls through the vent to hopefully listen in on the conversation.*
Cait_Sith
Miau... *The cat hops in after him. He tries to follow Honoka, but soon becomes invested in a new mission: batting at a dead rat*
Yu-Narukami
*Yu ponder his words.*

You still haven't told me what exactly it is you're trying to do. Is your aim to destroy the Nexus like those before you, because it seems like they failed in their attempt, so what makes you believe this time will be different?
Space_Cat
*Another completely normal cat wiggles his way past the guard into the building.*
Yu-Narukami
*Yu ponder to himself about the many cat noises he hears echoing throughout the building. It would seem this building has a cat problem.*
NotIgor
*he looks down*
There is no guarantee this will work... after all the first to try and destroy the Nexus WAS successful. He had no idea that it would become a cycle.
*he raises his journal*
This book contains writings from every version of me after the first... in it is written that after the destruction of the Nexus someone or someTHING puts it right back... My goal is to destroy it and replace it. As it stands you have seen many people from other realities in here. This is due to the Nexus expanding. At the very least destroying it turns back the clock on the expansion. If I can substitute it with a more stable reality, then perhaps this cycle may forever be ended.
Mona
*Morgana zooms past Makoto and steals her notebook*
Lesse... whatcha got here?
*Morgana reads several embarrassing love notes about Joker*
Space_Cat
*The strange cat listens to NotIgor speaking, then tilts it's head a bit.
Yu-Narukami
*Yu looks forward, a glimmer of understanding passes through his eyes.*

I see, then maybe it would be better to just end this cycle. I think I understand now. You really are just trying to do something good. In that case, I'd like to help any way I can. A cycle like this needs to end.
NotIgor
*he looks up, shocked.*
If you wish to help, I need to know. Do you know of any locations where devastating cataclysmic events occurred?
Makoto
*Makoto quickly snatches the notebook away from Mona as silently as she can*

*She whispers* Mona, don't mess this up right now, this is important, I need you to be very quiet, please. I need to get this information down. now if you'll excuse me...

*She focuses on the conversation between Yu and the Brawny man*
Yu-Narukami
*Yu thinks on this.*

An event of cataclysmic proportions? The place I know that's been destroyed the most would be the cafe, Leblanc. Is that where the crystals would most likely form?
Space_Cat
*The cat paws at Mona.*
NotIgor
It is possible yes... your help may not be enough though... have you any allies?
Yu-Narukami
I'm not sure if they have the same thoughts on this as me but I do. Though I'm not too sure where they are right now either.
Mona
*Morgana fails to hear Makoto, on account of her whispering. He shouts loudly enough for everyone in the room to hear him*
WHAT!?
Chan-Kun
*Stares out from a window with his phone recording the conversation with Makoto and Yu while also focusing on Mona the moment he came in.* "I wish I could be a part of this." she said from the other side of the window.
Space_Cat
*The cat, upon hearing Morgana exclaim, rushes into a back room.*
NotIgor
*he seems startled by Mona's yelling*
Who is there!?
*he gives a piece of paper to Yu*
Use this to navigate through my forces. I must find the source of this yelling.
Makoto
*Makoto closes her notebook and steps out from behind the desk*

I can help you out sir...if this truly is for the better...I don't mind helping you out.
Space_Cat
*Silently, the word Persona can be heard, and a flash of light starts to emit from the back room.*
Mona
*Mona licks himself in places*
NotIgor
Stand back girl!
*he draws his sword and touches the gem within it.*
I will handle this.
Yu-Narukami
*Yu takes the piece of paper and proceeds to walk towards the exit.*

I guess I'll check Leblanc to see if anything is really there.
Space_Cat
Hey, stop right there! *A humanoid cat wearing a spacesuit walks out of the back room, holding a laser pistol.*
Chan-Kun
"I can't stand watching this from here anymore. I just wanna see this up close. Surely security sucks since that girl's here right?" he said as he bursted through the front doors, looking around.
NotIgor
A cat?
*he puts the sword away*
Truly this is a mesh of worlds. I will here you out. What do you want with me?
Mona
I want fatty tuna from you!
Space_Cat
Stop this. If you wish to get rid of the people in this world, then you can speak with me.
Space_Cat
Otherwise, I'll have to eliminate you.
NotIgor
*he smirks*
If you were listening surely you heard no qualms with the people of this world. I have a problem with the world itself. Now run along... I have a job to do...
Yu-Narukami
*Yu freezes in place upon hearing the cat.*

What the- A cat? Why is a cat holding a gun?
Space_Cat
Hmph. You don't realize that the destruction of the Nexus will cause a cataclysmic event?
Yu-Narukami
*Yu faces the cat.*

Regardless of the situation, I don't think a world where reality just repeats itself is something anyone wants to be trapped in. Are you really fine with just being stuck in this loop?
Space_Cat
Do you know how many who belong in this world will die?
Makoto
*Makoto goes over to Yu*

This place is getting quite...lively.

*She looks back at the mass of cats and the one holding a gun*

Maybe it would be best for us to leave...
Chan-Kun
"I have no idea what's happening either." he said to Yu, adjusting his skirt.
*He then takes out a lighter and a cigar and starts smoking.* "Also, 16 is a good enough age for this, don't you think so?" he said, putting the lighter away.
Mona
Wait, guys, if the world really is in a loop I can eat all the fatty tuna I want and sleep all I want and not have to worry! It's a win-win!
NotIgor
I think you misunderstand. I can evacuate the residents of this plane before I trigger its end. Nobody has to die. I need help for this task though. This is why I recruited helpers and brought soldiers.
Yu-Narukami
*Yu looks back to Makoto.*

Yeah, that might be for the best for now.

*Yu leaves the abandoned building with the paper in hand.*
Space_Cat
The resulting energy from the destruction of the Nexus will corrupt other worlds.
DetectiveHonoka
*A loud bang can be heard from above, and the slim detective drops down from the vents, along with half of the vent itself. He tries to land in a cool pose or something, but he sort of stumbles and doesn't stick the landing perfectly. About a 6/10 landing, I'd say. He rights himself and dusts his suit off, and smirks at the brawny man opposite him before drawing his revolver and leveling it at the armed cat.*

Back off you little rodent. This gentleman wasn't quite done explaining, and I do hate getting violent. Let's just stay calm, alright?
Space_Cat
It cannot be avoided.
NotIgor
No it would not. I have calculated everything. This is what happens when you've been through the same event over seven hundred times.
Space_Cat
I already know what he's going to say. After all, it's been the same in every other world i've been to.
Makoto
Makoto nods as she follows Yu out of the building, as she walks back she looks back at the mess behind concerned*
Mona
*Morgana continues to lick himself*
NotIgor
I have no time for this. Leave now or I may have to resort to force.
Space_Cat
I've seen every other time you've died, and multiple timelines have been corrupted because of it.
Space_Cat
We call this event the Black Loop. Every single time the Nexus dies, another is reborn and the whole entire world is blown to bits.
Space_Cat
Just let us do our job and let us contain it before you try to kill it again.
NotIgor
So you agree with me? That the Nexus should NOT return?
Space_Cat
Well... the death of the person responsible for the Nexus will not help. The Nexus will be destroyed, reborn again more powerful, and then the cycle will continue once again.
NotIgor
Ah so we must break the cycle? As I have been saying?
Space_Cat
The Nexus was once a simple place between worlds. But now it has spread to multiple dimensions, spreading countless versions of you trying to kill it.
Space_Cat
Indeed, but your method of doing so has lead to the cycle getting longer.
NotIgor
Tch. How wrong you are.
*he marches out gesturing for the detective to follow*
Space_Cat
You need to change so the world can change.
DetectiveHonoka
*Honoka pinches the bridge of his nose, and his thumb pulls the hammer of his revolver back.*

Oh for heaven's sake, will you shut up? This is why I-

*He pauses, and as if a lightbulb went off in his head, he perks up.*

That's right! I hate cats! That's why my nose has been stuffy this entire time. I'm allergic to you little shits. You're so stubborn and always claw furniture and...

*His rambling continues, it might be best to drown him out*
Migrant
*Pokes a head in from a window*

I get the feeling someone wants to kill my home?
Space_Cat
I've warned you. *Suddenly, a laser gateway forms in front of the entrance.*
DetectiveHonoka
O-oh! Yeah, alright. Seeya!

*He rushes out, following the absurdly burly man*
NotIgor
*he cuts it down with his saber*
And I've warned you.
Space_Cat
Besides, why try and find the man who created the Nexus when you've already found him?
Mona
That's right, it was me, Morgana!
Space_Cat
Heh, nice joke, cousin.
Space_Cat
But seriously, he's right in front of you. Literally under the tip of your tongue.
Mona
I channeled the hope of the masses into this place, an oasis!
Chan-Kun
*He recorded all of Morgana saying that and then replays it, followed by the sound of another smoking session.* "I've been obsessed with these ever since I tried them at that dissapointing birthday party." he said thinking back at to when he was not a trap.
Space_Cat
Please, Mona. Do we need to have another cataclysmic event where you die and then the Phantom Thieves split up leading to one of them having a Palace leading to Joker's untimely demise?
Migrant
I don't have anywhere to return to. So this is the best I got. Maybe home was destroyed, maybe this is home. Who knows, all I know is I'm not going with you anywhere.
Space_Cat
The resulting death of the Wild Card leads to the destruction of the Velvet Room and eventually Yaldabaoth's takeover of mankind.
Mona
The true reason for the Nexus disappearing is it being drowned with despair. The only reason I didn't tell anyone was that I was busy on the frontlines. In truth, the only way to combat the despair is through hope and unity!
Space_Cat
Which results in a version of NotIgor destroying Yaldabaoth and the world blowing up.
Ryoji
Heeeyyyy friendss.

I sensed some nice despair here and wanted to check things out.

*He excitedly looks around*

So who is speaking of death around here ?
Mona
@Space_Cat how do we know you're not lying? If Igor had any relatives why the he'll would he not tell me?
GiveIntoDespair
I also sensed despair. Who said it?
Chan-Kun
"I think I might die if I don't get rid of these...want one?" the trap said to Ryoji, trying to give a cigar to him.
Mona
Ryoji, where have you spotted such despair! Tell me so I may dispatch of it.
Space_Cat
Because I had to make my mission a secret. End of story.
Space_Cat
Where did NotIgor go?
NotIgor
*he left a long time ago through the door*
Mona
So, why should we doubtlessly believe you over him? You provide just as much evidence.
Ryoji
*He wrinkles his face at the cigar*

Thanks but no thanks.

I do like death but not through those bad tasting sticks.

*He then looks at Mona*

No you can't dispatch the despair! It is a rare occurrence!
Mona
It's a rare occurrence that will consume our lives and our beloved dimension! Sorry, but their are too many people who cherish this nexus to let it fall into the hands of despair!
Migrant
.... He left already..... *chases him!*
