Sari and Emily look at each other.

"Well, no need to tell me twice!" Sari bolts, shortly followed by Emily.

Matrisse sighs. "...One of my enemies has risen again. It's clear that he wishes to challenge me again, and quite frankly...I'm terrified. It's hard for me to admit, but I am terrified."</font.

Lierin nods in approval, grinning to himself as he watches the signatures roll in.

Barakkas is currently burying what's left of his fellow Named and his former master. He can't really find anything appropriate to mark their graves, so he just leaves them as is.

And he leaves, musing to himself. Out of all the Named, he was the one that was spared. He's going to think a bit more on why.

Valeena is still waiting for Karkat to detain her. She'd given him an answer - sort of - so...

Dimentio is waiting for Waspinator to use the tablets to open a rift and get the mission started. He's not going to repeatedly hit himself against a wall any time soon, after all.

Zakaku is still crawling along in the salvaged Exo-Toa body he'd gotten for himself when he gets portalled off.

He lands unceremoniously in a forest, hitting the ground with a loud clang. And upon further observation, it would seem he's not alone...

"Ow..." A teenager with purple hair styled into pigtails, red eyes, a pale purple and light green dress, and several red crystals embedded into various parts of her body rubs her head. "When did portals just start randomly showing up out of nowhere?"

And then she notices the mostly destroyed robot besides her. "Wow, what part of the scrap heap did you crawl out of?"

"Technically, I crawled out of a crater." Zakaku remarks.

SG!Sari yelps, scrambling back. "Aaaaaaand the voice box is still intact! Okay! That's fine! That's fine! Just...surprising."

"Well, actually, this particular unit wasn't made with a voice box. I'm speaking through-"

And that's when a group of four knights burst in, each one outfitted with high tech armor.

"Extrauniversal! Surrender now, in the name of the Institution of Law Enforcement and Heroics!" One of them shouts.

SG!Sari blinks. "...say what now?"

One of the knights leans in towards the apparent leader. "Isn't that one of the people we're supposed to bring in to the Director if spotted? She looks a bit different from the photos-"

"Infinite universes, remember? Probably an alternate version." The leader replies, before returning his attention to SG!Sari. "Did I not make myself clear!?"

"No, not really." SG!Sari replies. "I mean, first off, extrauniversal? What the heck does that even mean? Secondly, I've never heard of you guys before in my life, so I'm not really inclined to take you seriously..."

The leader of the knights sighs. "The portal that you presumably dropped through has lead you to an alternate universe. This is the alternate universe. Now surrender yourself!"

SG!Sari blinks. "...So, let me get this straight. I get here because a random portal opened up beneath me and brought me here against my own will. And even though it was never my choice, just being here is enough to get me arrested?"

There's silence. No one notices the silver fluid that's now exiting the Exo-Toa and is currently heading towards one of the knights.

"Yeah, that's what I thought." SG!Sari lunges at the leader, grabbing his arm and holding it tight, making him drop the blaster he's holding as the red crystals in her body start to spark. "How about I give you an actual reason to arrest me, huh?"

And then her body flares up with electricity, charging up the leader's armor with energy until it can't take any more.

There's an explosion of shrapnel and gore.

The knights stare in horror at where their leader used to be, then look at SG!Sari, whose arms turn into metal and unfold, revealing jagged blades of red energy. "Who's next!?"

The knights snap out of it. The knight that had asked the leader a question earlier powers up two green blades attached to his arms. "If you will not surrender voluntarily, we will have to detain you by for-"

And then he freezes, his body going stiff.

"My apologies, but I need this for a moment." Not really apologetic at all, Zakaku forces the knight to turn and stab one of his fellow knights repeatedly in the stomach, the last knight watching in horror before running for it.

The knight in the Zakaku-controlled armor is also horrified, but his terror quickly comes to an end. Because Zakaku makes him stab himself in the face. Repeatedly. Far more than is really necessary. Way more than is really necessary, even.

SG!Sari watches as the knight falls onto the ground, shuddering when he sees his face. Okay, she's not squeamish by any means - she tore out her creator's eye upon first awakening after all, and has done far worse since - but even she knows when to stop.

"That was not necessary!" She yells at the possessed armor. She'd question how the hell a heavily damaged robot managed to hijack a suit of armor from (apparently) another universe, but questions could come later.

"What? I didn't figure you'd be squeamish, judging by your first act of self-defence." Zakaku remarks.

"No, I'm not squeamish, I just think the guy died the first time you made him stab himself in the face!" SG!Sari huffs. "Yeesh, you trying to break a world record or something?"

"No, I just wanted a larger entryway." The silver fluid then flows out of the armor and into the many openings on the knight's face. Shortly afterward, the knight's body gets up and goes over to the abandoned Exo-Toa, turning it over.

"..Oh. Well, aren't you just pleasant?" SG1Sari remarks as Zakaku pulls out a Mask of Biomechanics from the Exo-Toa - embedded in the torso - and puts it on his face. "So, who are you, anyway? Because as much as I hate to admit it, I think we're going to be stuck together for a while."

"Zakaku." Zakaku answers.

"Sari. Make a crack at the name and you're getting shivved." SG!Sari warns.

"I am entirely too civilized to do such a thing." Zakaku assures.

SG!Sari looks at Zakaku in disbelief. "...Forgive me for doubting your word, mister stabby."
