And then yet another portal opens up, unceremoniously dropping the unfortunate bystander who happened to be above it onto the ground as she lets out a cry of alarm.

"ow!" Even as she's in pain, her voice sounds soft and melodious - seems like she'd naturally be inclined to be a singer. As she gets up, rubbing her rather sore backside, it becomes rather clear that she isn't human. She looks close to human, sure, but humans don't have gray skin, or orange and yellow horns poking out of black hair and extending down from the sides of their head. Her yellow eyes look up and widen as she notices the portal closing.

"wait! / i need to-" And as she leaps for the portal, it closes before she can even touch it, and the alien girl lands on the ground with noticeable disappointment, letting out a sigh. "or... / not, / i guess."

Then another portal opens close by the alien, and she looks on in surprise as another of her kind is dropped from the portal even less ceremoniously than she was; she didn't land face-first, after all. She can't tell a lot about the new arrival - her black hair is rather long, meaning that it's covered most of her body save for some of her legs. Nevertheless, she looks down, and prepares to ask if the newcomer needs help...only for that to quickly get answered for her.

"G8D-FUCK8NG-D8MM8T!!!!!!!!" The new arrival shoots up, clearly very, very angry about something, and causing the other alien to back up in alarm, especially when she notices her shirt.

Cerulean blood. Not technically a highblood, but certainly high enough on the hemospectrum that whoever this is could kill her without any real repercussions, and she seems like the type who would do it, too. She can't really tell why, but everything about the new arrival screams danger to the more soft-spoken alien - whether it be the sign she's never actually seen before, the eye mutation that could potentially signify the mind control powers cerulean bloods can occasionally have, or the fact that, despite the new arrival seeming younger by what's probably a few perigees - she can't tell for sure - she seems far more...experienced. In what, the alien doesn't know, and doesn't want to find out.

"I was this close! Thiiiiiiiissssssss close! Had that green asshole right where I wanted him! Unleashed the house Juju thing! I even had a witty one-liner 8ecause even though that is definitely not my thing it would've 8een cool, damn it! 8ut noooooooo! Apparently, Paradox Space has decided that I don't get to see the 8ig 8ad time demon actually........"'' And the new arrival trails off as she finally notices the only other representative of her kind here, looking completely terrified and...also slightly confused.

Much to the latter's surprise, the new arrival looked not at her with contempt, but rather...she seemed about as confused as she was, and at a loss of what to say to this troll who'd apparently just been standing there and listening to her rant this entire time. "........uh, hi? How long have you been standing-"

And then she's promptly interrupted by a much larger portal opening, followed by a slam as a blonde cyborg digs his feet into the ground, leaving sizeable trenches as he struggles to push back against...what the fuck is that? I-is that a giant robot octopus? It looks like a giant robot octopus, except with way too many tentacles and also a body consisting entirely of a large circular sphere, with any free space on it being taken up by red circular lights. Also, each tentacle has a drill on it, which would explain why the cyborg is trying so hard to keep the tentacle from piercing his chest. He's barely managing it; the drill is inches away from him, and getting ever closer. In the meantime, however, although the cyborg has yet to notice the others, the robot octopus thing, has, and it seems...interested.

In the cyborg's head, he's suddenly alerted to the fact that he's detecting a lot more life readings than he did a few moments ago. His eyes widen. How? The city evacuated, there's no way he could've found some stragglers now...this portal the robot opened must've taken him to a more populated area. At least, he's assuming the robot opened it, because what are the chances that a rip in time and space would open up at the exact moment the robot slammed its drill into him? He could do exact calculations, but now is not the time. He needs to get the octopus to back off, and quickly, before these civilians are put at risk.

He takes his left hand off the tentacle and instead uses it to directly grab the drill, ignoring the ear-piercing sound of screeching metal and the metal plating on his hand quickly getting worn down as he ignites a jet booster of sorts in his left arm, allowing him to keep the same distance as before even when he takes his right hand off. He shouts out as the booster powers up even further, allowing him to actually push the tentacle back as the ground below the jet of fire seems to melt at the sheer temperature, boiling as he keeps going.

Then, he rears back his right arm, turning it into a cannon of some kind, and as he gets a direct line of sight... "Incinerate!"

He promptly lets loose a giant blast of pure flame, hitting the robot directly and causing it to stumble back with a shrill robotic cacophony. And just in time too, because that's when the portal finally closes.

The cyborg pants a bit, letting his exhaustion show. He's not terribly worried - after all, Drive Knight, Atomic Samurai, and Zombieman were already on their way when he was fighting the thing, by now, they've probably already gotten there. All he needs to do now is get back to City...

Wait. Where the hell is he?
