''Taking cover under a nearby outcrop, Classified takes a bit of time to bandage his wound as Reaper jumps right over his cover in furious pursuit, stopping to look around for its now missing target. They've been at it for a while.''

Astra and SC-9744 have been busy destroying Mooks left and right when they notice the advance forward and go over to join it.

[Astra] What's happening now?

[SC-9745] You pushing?

[SC-9744] Seems like it.

[SC-9745] Give me a moment and I'll scan--hold on a second, what the hell is that?

SC-9745 from her peek spot has witnessed Reaper chasing Classified, but they're already gone by the time she questions it.

[SC-9744] Snipe now, ask later.

Back to her job of sniping things.

[SC-9745] ''If you could get some kind of rendezvous point for me, that'd be great. You guys to me or me to you, whichever works.''

Suddenly, seventeen target markers appear around the main strike team, as a set of seventeen figures teleport in from blue lights descending from the sky.

The first one is a man clad in armour, a knight, wielding a broadsword who lands battle ready.

The second is a fully armoured figure, a paladin, wielding a shield and a flail who lands with no particular stance.

The third, a robed woman with a book floating beside her, a wizard, arrives midair and floats down to the ground gently.

The fourth, a masked man holding a pistol, a rogue, tries to roll on arrival but just falls and becomes one with the floor.

[Wizard] I told you that would happen...

[Rogue] ...shut up.

The fifth, a humanoid with a blue liquid tank for a head wielding some kind of gun, an engineer, just teleports straight in and begins fixing its turret immediately.

The sixth, a robot, teleports in besides the engineer and looks around, two floating guns orbiting it.

The seventh, a hooded figure wielding a rifle loaded with potions, an alchemist, just lands and doesn't do anything, looking all fed up and dead inside.

The eighth, a sickly blue man, a vampire, arrives drinking a glass of something.

[Alchemist] ...you need to stop drinking juice.

[Vampire] I don't drink juice.

The ninth, a fully cloaked figure wielding a knife, an assassin, arrives and sticks to the back of the group.

The tenth, a humanoid with pointed ears and a bow, an elf, teleports in like the Knight did.

The eleventh, another cloaked mage, a druid, arrives with two wolves and takes a defensive stance.

The twelfth, a humanoid wolf that somehow doesn't look out of place, a werewolf, arrives with a flaring claw.

The thirteenth, a woman in a white robe with glowing blue eyes, a priest, teleports down reading some kind of book and holding a wooden cross.

The fourteenth, a battle-hungry man with boxing gloves, a berserker, teleports down and immediately looks for something to destroy.

The fifteenth, a man clad in sleek black and wielding a katana, a ninja, teleports in and heads to the back of the group too.

[Assassin] whispering to Ninja ...oh, so you did end up coming after all.

[Ninja] whispering to Assassin Yes, no thanks to Drac's messed up portals. to Vampire How do you even acquire the portals?

[Vampire] ...don't worry about it.

The sixteenth, a woman in elite armour wielding a wrist-mounted rocket launcher, a commander, arrives with no particular expression or action.

[Phoenix] ...who are you people?

''The Knight's armour flares to life, giving him a fiery look, his eyes suddenly glowing a burning red and his broadsword getting the same treatment. Lava Knight basically.''

[Knight] Oh, so there are entities here?

[Phoenix] Woah, c-

[Wizard] Knight, calm down. These people aren't like the entities we meet.

[Phoenix] ...is this, uhh, normal?

As the Knight hears that and looks around, he realises what has happened and reverts to normal.

[Knight] Apologies for that, my mistake. We're used to teleporting into hostile dungeons and wrecking enemy groups, so... anyhow, who are you all?

Reaper eventually looks behind itself and notices Classified, immediately running after him again as they both break into a mad dash, the two occasionally trading shots from rifles and shotguns.

''This continues for a while until Classified rolls out behind a rock, leaving Reaper to run forward and lose its target again. Classified looks around and finds the heroes, instantly turning to run up to them and cutting off their previous conversation.''

[Classified] Anyone here can you guys help me there's a thing on my tail and it's gon-

[Wizard] Woah woah woah. Slow down. What are you even talking about again?

''At that point Reaper arrives, having climbed up the small slope in the landscape, now slowly but dramatically walking towards the heroes. To most, this would be a new foe. To those who were in the Cataclysm Machine incident? They'd recognise the shape and attributes of this unfamiliar galactic-black killer, as that of... an old friend who went missing halfway through their final adventure. Sparky.''

[Classified] -that THING is trying to KILL me!
