Starpiece Meadow was rather slow today, probably due to a fact that there's a weird dome shaped object covering the peaceful starvia free land, messing the time in the area so that the people that live within become so slow that it would take nearly 5 hours for them to take one step forward. Worse some seemed to be frozen completely, the worst thing about it is...The dome is slowly spreading out from the Meadow and anyone that comes into contact with the dome will also be affected..Without these badges of course..Or if your a Mage/Sage.



The time badge will resist the effects that anything time based. Just place the badge onto your chest and enter the dome and bingo your able to walk freely around the almost frozen land. Toad Officer #44 was holding two of them just near the dome taking a few steps back everytime the slowly approaching dome was about to take him in, he got increasingly worried everytime the dome moved an inch and wondered where the three people who took this mission are.


"Ooh..I hope they come soon, if they just forgot about this mission then LI will be covered in this time spell, or worse..They got lost coming up here! This cant happen..It just cant!"

[PolarStarQuote]

Dante, using the best travel method available, which, this time around, Dante managed to hitch a ride on a large bird to get over here, would soon drop onto the scene, seeing the time dome from a overhead cliff. Well...that was neat. Dante took out Ebony and Ivory, aiming his guns into the dome and firing into it, and seeing the bullet suddenly slow down to a crawl when it hit the dome, like jello. Man, time power's must of be fun, huh?

Dante sighed, stashing his guns back into his back-holster's. "Yup, this is the right place...Alright, lets get goin'." Dante said, sliding down the cliff face, leaping off and finding a toad, standing there as he worriedly jumped about

"Woah, woah, calm down. I'm here, where's the other's?" Dante asked, noting the worried look of the incredibly jumpy police officer. With the looks of this thing, Dante couldn't really blame him. Then again, this was more a interesting little romp for dante, as he was kinda excited to see what this would do.

Dimentio being a dimensional master was the first here with his teleporting prowess. He took a liking to spying on his allies however with his invisibility and never took it for granted... except when he could use it for battle but that was not his style truth be told. It was more developed for listening in on private conversations than for battle afterall. Dimentio listened to the overly jumpy Toad though there did not seem too much to learn from him. He heard a gun shot and looked up to see one of his allies testing the time field with a bullet. It would seem the effects of the field were as apparent on the bullet as everything else inside it. Dimentio decided to take a second to  extend a hand into the field to test it and.... there was no effect on his hand at all. He could still move it at as fast as he normally can. It would appear the theory that those highly attuned to magic were actually immune to the field's effects. That was an interesting truth and Dimentio was curious to why it was so paticular to exclude those largely attuned to magic from it's effects. Perhaps the caster could not control it and be stuck otherwise? It was truly a mystery worth solving.

Regardless though, now seemed to be the time to introduce himself. It's not like the final party will have much to add to the conversation afterall. A Cube Outline appeared in Dimentio's postion and gave a turn before revealing the jester mercenary himself. "The Pleaser of Crowds, Master of Dimensions, Dimentio was simply taking a few minutes to scout the area. Afterall, you are correct that highly attuned magic users are immune to the Temporal Field's effects. Now we just wait for the third member of our party to show up," Dimentio stated, taking a look at the badges the Toad was holding from his midair position. Those badges had the ability to negate the temporal field's effects did they not? There was a wonder in how they were capable of doing so but it was not really that useful of knowledge for the Dimensional Mercenary.

Tingle was just floating their. Suspened by his balloon. Then suddenly a bullet popped his balloon. He was then sent fallin-slowly-toward the groun through the dome, but still moving a little faster than the bullet. Aparently he does have some magic, but he just isn't exactly proficient in it. Ah well, he'll be fine in a while. ...Will someone help him?

((I just felt like doing that.))

[Deleted]

The Toad Officer was relived when Dimentio, Dante and Tingle had finally came for the mission...And good timing to since they don't have any to waste...However with Dante shooting at the dome to see how fast his bullets will go and Tingle randomly falling into the dome, it might take them awhile to actually finish the mission. The Toad Officer took out a whistle and blew it to get Dimentio and Dante's attention since Tingle, again is stuck in the dome like everyone else.

"Ok, now since I got the two of you attention here's what I want you to do...Just find that blue meteor that crashed in the meadow and caused this terrible spell to happen and quick before this dome spreads to all of LI, if you notice the treehouse over there." Toad Officer said pointing towards a treehouse inside the dome, that had little dreamland residents playing...Very Slowly, some even stopped.



Half of the top part of the treehouse seems to be covered by a cyan coloured crystal. "There seems to be something on top of there, maybe its something related to the meteor, oh right...Take this with you!" The Toad Officer said as he took out the two time badges and gave them to Dante. "Put one of them on your chest, it will resist the effects this dome will have on you, give the other one to that weird guy on the balloon over there, just don't try to grab him." The Toad Officer said pointing towards Tingle.


"Just place the time badge on his chest...If you touch anyone in this dome who are under the effects of that time spell...Something horrifying will happen to them, we recently did a test run with the badges and let's just say...The Toads who were around here might need therapy for 2 years." The Toad Officer said giving a warning to Dante and Dimentio, he then turned toward Jester. "You don't have to worry about getting a time badge, you seem magic enough to withstand the domes effects." He said as he walked towards the edge of Star Piece Meadow and jumped over before activating a parachute he had on, The Toad Officer looked back up to Dante and Dimentio.

"GOODLUCK, I HAVE DUTY BACK ON THE SPHERE, WHICH IS AT STAKE IF YOU DON'T STOP THIS DOME!"

[PolarStarQuote]

Dante flicked the little Time Badge up in the air like a coin, pinning one onto one of the belts along his chest, grinning. "Alright, Alright." Dante said, beckoning Dimentio on as he waved the toad officer a hardy two-fingered 'Farewell', before entering into the time stopped dome. Now, that tingle guy...Ah, That was dante's bad, huh?

Dante walked closer to where tingle was preparing to land, getting the pin ready, and putting it into the creepy..creepy, creepy, creepy dude's green suit, before continuing his way through. "Alrighty, Where were we?" Dante said, smiling as he walked. He kinda liked this whole 'slowed down time' thing. He remember's going through these time gimmicks with Nero.

Dante readied grip on Rebellion, looking up at the glowing cyan tip of the house. "So, should we just go through?" Dante asked, pointing at the front door, looking to Dimentio and Tingle.

[Coolshaymin]

Dimentio listened to the toad as he gave his briefing and it was all things he could of already figured out. He needed to keep up appearances though if he was to trick the Life Sphere into thinking he was on their side. Dimentio was glad to finally hear the annoying voice announce his leave. Toads really could do with less annoying vocal chords. Regardless, the jester gave a bow at the same time as Dante's salute before following him into the temporal distortion.

It was amazing to think a meteor of all things could cause a distortion this powerful. If he could harness it's powers there would be few who could stop him. Of course, he would still need to worry about those that wield the power of magic so he would also need other preperations. He simply continued on towards the treehouse as  the Devil Hunter stopped to help the creepy man in green.

Dimentio glanced upwards to the top of the treehouse. Sure, he could fly up there and examine it but where was the fun in that? "Of course, Dante May Cry. No sense in wondering what could be ahead when it can just jump out and surprise us like a bunch of noisy childern a birthday party for a grown man!~" Dimentio said before flying over to the first floor door to open it.

*CRASH!*

Once Dante slapped on the badge, Tingle crashed into the ground. Even without it, he was still faster than anything else slowed down. Unless a certain blue hedgehog had been present. After a moment, he peeled himself off the ground. "Thanks," Tingle said to Dante as he dusted himself off. He was at least glad to see a familiar face. The last time they met, it was at a movie theater. He was already used to falling from the air, so it was no big deal. Tingle nodded his agreement with Dimentio before following the magical jester. They wouldn't get anywhere just standing around after all.

This couldn't be worse than when he travelled to another Dimension, right?

As the three entered the well furbished treehouse, there was a hall that would lead to a flight of stairs, which would help the trio get closer to the giant crystal at the top, however there were tons of obstacles in the way for the hero's...Well more like little problems by the looks of things.




A group of five Waddle Dees were frozen infront of the group, they seemed to be playing a game of twiddly winks before everything froze, moving or going over them might be a problem though as something bad might happen If the trio touch any of them, before the three could discuss a way to deal with the five Waddle Dees...A purple flash had struck In front of the three.

When the flash stopped the Waddle Dee's slowly started to move...All five of them turned towards Dante, Dimentio and Tingle...And hissed at them as the five started to glow a purple colour and transformed into something much more creepy then there cute selves.

The five Waddle Dees had now taken on a more monstrous form and all five roared at the trio, almost causing the treehouse to collapse, quickly the first one tried to charge towards Dante in an attempt to throw him out of the house with It's torso by smashing It into him, the first one noticed he looked more stylish then Dimentio and Tingle and think's he's the strongest out of the three.

The second ran towards Tingle and tried to grab him so he could throw him out as well, probably so far that he'll be thrown out of the time sphere, the third tried to smash Dimentio by jumping onto to him.

Dante pocjketed his hands, walking down the wooden hall without much thought,  It would of been a nice place to live in if it wasn't a frozen time dome. Dante turned his gaze down the hall, to see five frozen...soft pudgy things. Poor guys. Dante shook his head, shrugging. "Well, there's a problem.." Dante said, as he was about to continue walking, until...

He had a strange feeling in his gut, something was gonna happen...And low and behold, the Waddle Dee's took a form that dante was far more familiar with. Sharp teeth, monstrous form and the most evil colour of all. Purple.


gygefPg1p_1d20+1=11

Luckily, dante seemed to be ahead of the game, as the Waddledee came in for a Torso Charge, Dante countered by summoning his Newest weapon, Cerberus! He spun the Triparte Nunchaku around his wrist, did a fancy little around-his-body maneuver, before smacking the Waddle-dee to the ground before he could get a hand on dante's Love Handles. "Sorry Fuzz-ball, Im not leaving without getting this job done!" Dante said, as he spun Cerberus around some more, until giving a final Resting position for it, two of the Blunts stashed under his arm, and the other in his hand, making a nice "WHATCHA!" Sound effect as he got into a more stationary position.

He looked at the other two aiming for his comrade's, as he took out the Hunter's Shotgun, and twirled it around his body, using the Area of Effect Gun Fire to hopefully hit the Waddle Dee's, and throw them off before they do too much to Dimentio or...Regrettably, Tingle.

Dimentio went into the building and looked down the hall to see 5 Waddle Dees playing and super slow motion. Not touching them was something he did not really understand but he could avoid them easily. They were no issues when he can flip dimensions to travel pass them easily. Before he could put that plan into motion, however, something strange happened.

Some of the Waddle Dees turned into some kinds of monsters. Dimentio looked at the creations in awe at the unknown power this time distortion had. "Magneficent..." Dimentio muttered as he looked at the transformed Dees with his normal smiling face. He did not have time to gawk however as one ran right at him to attack.

Dimentio was nowhere near fast enough to evade as he was easily stomped by the Waddle Dee Mutant. Dimentio however simply flipped and then reappeared behind him so he did not have to put up with the weight long. Dimentio held a finger up and summoned magic into it before firing a Magic Sphere at the Waddle Dee that attacked him.

He immediately began forming green plasma in his finger for a followup attack. He sent down three bolts of electricity to fry the poor Dee for attacking a great jester.

As you could imagine, Tingle was taken by surprise. As a matter of fact, it was a jumpscare for him. One of them tried to grab Tingle.

cgKHFy|3p_1d20 (Just barely XD)

Being small has its advantages. This was proven as barely weaved his way out of the attempted grab. He immediately tried to hit the Monster Dee in the face with his Rupee bag.

Tingle found the bag heavier than expected, but that would just make it more effective as the adrenaline allowed him to swing it with relative ease.

The first Monster Dee failed to hit Dante and almost slipped and fell on the ground, It turned around at Dante and growled at him, he was about to run back at him and grab him so he could smash him into the nearby wall, a similar move his partner was about to do on Tingle, only more painful, however It seem's he will have to wait as Dante summoned a weapon called cerberus and tried to smack the dee into the ground, The Monster Dee tried to dodge the attack.

As the Dee tried to recover from the attack, Dante soon took out a shotgun and fired It at the other two Monster Dee's that were attacking Dimentio and Tingle, the monsters soon took noticed and tried to dodge before resuming attacking there targets.

Meanwhile the first Monster Dee soon recovered and noticed Dante was distracted giving him the perfect opportunity to attack him while his guard is lowered, quietly he sneaked towards Dante and tried to trip him over by slashing his back.

Meanwhile the second Monster Dee laughed pitifully at Dimentio and cracked It's knuckles thinking Dimentio will be easily dealt with, however he soon noticed the plasma blast the jester was about to fire at him and tried to dodge It before he was hit by jumping out of the way like what most enemy's would do in a situation like this.

Soon after getting hit by the attack the Monster Dee tried to dodge Dimentios next attack...Which involved lightning.

Lucky for the Dee he dodged and tried to charge into Dimentio soon after for vengeance of the two attacks.

Finally the third Monster Dee gritted It's teeth at Tingle when the little man dodged and charged towards him very fast, however he was surprised when he tried to hit him with his bag of rubies.


p_1d20+2(Same time as the bag throw.)

The Monster Dee jumped up and bit Into Tingles bag for a chance to pull him closer towards him so he grab him again and try to throw him out of the treehouse.


Meanwhile the other two Monster Dee's started to look board and soon noticed the stairs that leaded up to the next room, thinking of an idea they decided to ditch the three other members of there group and ran up the stairs...Preparing to attack the trio when they eventually make It to the next floor.

They will not expect them at first since the next floor will be coated in darkness.

Dante cracked his neck, a smirk overcoming his face as he  was readying himself up for a fun party. However, the sound of something rustling up behind him made dante shake his head, putting Ebony over his shoulder, aiming backwards, before shooting the Monster Dee before he could make it close enough to attack him.


p_1d20+2=17 ( Basically, this. )

Dante turned his back around, looking at the monster dee with a shaking head. "Ah, come on. I'm not even breakin' a sweat yet!" Dante said, starting to hop up and down like bruce lee, throwing a few shadow-boxing punches, tossing up Cerberus and flicking it up and down and around, looking at his foe once again as he stopped the nunchaku right behind his back, making a little flicking "Come on" Finger gesture at him.1d20·1d20

[Coolshaymin]

Dimentio watched as the Waddle Dee got hit by the first attack but he was still in the fight for a while it seems. The Monster Dee dodged the spell and came charging right for Dimentio to try and strike him.

aVso4b83p_1d20

Dimentio watched as the charge came right at him and hit him in the chest. The jester flew back a bit with that same smile that was always on his face. He tilted his mask like face before speaking, "You are as bothersome as 1,000 tiny jackhammers hammering the ear drums. I think it is best you go," Dimentio said before flying at the Waddle Dee and preparing to deploy a magical backhand t0 get his message across.

p_1d20+3_(Magic Smack on Monster Dee B)

Dimentio then snapped his fingers as a magic box outline appeared around him. With a flip of the box and an unique sound effect, Dimentio disappeared into ripples. Then another box appeared behind the Monster Dee that he was focusing on. With a flip of this box, Dimentio reappeared and held his hands out. "Ciao!~" Dimentio said goodbye before exploding into blue flames, using the force of the attack to try and launch the Dee out of the house like his friends tried to do.
