A certain white haired girl would be walking by when she hears noise coming out of the seemingly abandoned building. The sign atop it that read gym looked like it was hanging by a few rusty nails and duck tape and the door looked as if the frame had to be continually patched up from mistreatment. Curiosity arose as she walked through the doors of the building, dust clinging to it's every surface before her eyes finally stopped on the boy in a strange metal suit with what seemed to be spider appendages decorating it's back. she tilted her head at the person before words finally left her full lips. "Tis not what I expected to find of a decrepit building such as this. Dost thee hath ownership of this place?"

Niko kicks down the door... Nah, he's not that strong. He just opens the doors and enters. He looks around. "Ah, been a long time since I've been here." He notices Spider-Man and waves to him. "Heyyy Spidey, long time no see!"

Peter would look over at the girl, the lenses of mask widening as the girl comes in. There's something about her, it feels almost like something he's felt before... A bit like Nyx if he had to say, but that can't be true given she's a goddess of death and this is a girl maybe a few years older than him, right? "Oh, uh no I don't. I just come here to practice now and then, but since nobody was around I figured hey why not give the guy who does own it a hand right? I mean, I come here and train against people, sometimes the building gets torn up... Eh, felt like the right thing to do. I'm uh, Spider-Man by the way. You?" He'd wave casually at her with his free hand, chucking a bit upon spotting Niko and waving at him as well. "Oh hey Niko, yeah it's been a while hasn't it? How've you been doing? I for one can't say anything too exciting has happened in my life. Fought a few supervillains, busted some crooks, saved kittens from trees, the usual"

Niko shrugs. "Nothing too special has happened I guess. I would love to fight supervillains though, or superheroes for that matter. I'm waaaaay too bored."

"I see" she would say before giving him a smile "I am Alice. Tis a pleasure to make your acquaintance spider man. Thine moniker is most fitting considering thine choice of attire." she would give a light giggle before turning her attention to Niko. "Tis also nice to meet thee as well." "Thee hath proclaimed this a place of training. Then doth thee mean thy hath experience in combat?" she asked the two

standing on the roof of an adjacent building, the punk, rockin' girl Tot looks down at the old place she'd used as a hall the past few nights. Only this time the door's already open and the lights are even on "huh, wonder if someone owns the place after all?" the girl jumps down, careless of if anyone saw her or not, and strolls right on in like she owns the place, taking note of three waaaay different individuals in there "Definitely don't see this every day. There a reason you guys decided to kick it up in my little hideout?"

Spidey finishes up cleaning off the counter and walks out, looking over at Niko curiously. "Fighting a superhero eh... Well, I guess you do have some tricks now don't ya? I'd hate to get out of practice myself, so hey what the heck let's go a round if you're up for it. I'm not getting paid to clean or anything, so that can wait!" He'd stow away the cleaning items behind the counter, a webline flying from his wrist as he tugs on it and rushes across the room to a fighting ring. He then glances over towards Niko, 'eyes' narrowing as he assumes a fighting stance. He then glances back at Alice, grinning under his mask and nodding at her. "Yeah Alice, I'm uh... Well, long story short I've got these powers, I'm strong, fast, and a few other things. So I decided to try and help people out, sometimes I just get em away from danger, sometimes I gotta fight people causing it. Never killed anyone though, I do not kill." He'd then glance over at the girl walking in, wondering when exactly this became her hideout. "Hideout? You uh, do know a guy owns this place right? Kalib, wears glasses, pretty friendly? Anyways uh if you didn't know, it's sort of a 'training ground' for people with various superpowers. We fight each other, to keep our skills sharp."

A middle aged man clad in a beige overcoat wanders into the establishment, clearly a little confused at the motley group chattering inside. One could have heard his car roll up outside, so clearly he has a commodity as rare as that. It is a classic vehicle, with strange lights blinking on the dash. He seems to be holding a silver briefcase, which is certainly smaller than average. "A gym, huh? One that openly endorses fighting no less..." His eyes mainly settle on the man in very unique clothing, if it could be called that. He'd hold his tongue for now, seeing as he'd certainly seen stranger, and certainly more imposing foes. Perhaps he was his own warrior, not unlike someone he knew... "Excuse me, sir." This comment would be directed at the man clad in spider themed attire. "You wouldn't happen to be the owner of this establishment, would you? If so, I have a couple questions I'd like to ask."

"Never seen him, and I've been rockin' here the past few days. Nor anyone comin' to train. Just thought it was totally abandoned" Tot leans back a little, putting one hand on the axe-like guitar she keeps on her back, its red edge matching the rest of her barbaric, skull motif fairly popular in the punk scene. The girl soon cracks a grin "Superpowers you say? Like those old comic books. Sounds pretty rockin' to me. In that case" in a flash she has her guitar off her back and in her waiting arms, the girl's hand dances deftly across the strings as she plays out a single quick rift, sending a series of 4 eight notes bouncing harmlessly around the room "Lets see it!"

Alice would walk over to one of the chairs only to frown upon seeing how dusty it still was before looking back to Spider man entering the ring. "Then I can expect quite the entertaining spectacle." she would say before turning her gaze to the door a few seconds before the other girl walked in. She would tilt her head at first assuming the girl to be the owner before hearing Spider man correct those thoughts. "I can assume thee hath occupied this place for quite some time if thee feels so inclined to claim it for thyself."

Niko smiles. "Yeah, we can fight, just give me a second to prepare." He looks over to Alice, strange, he feels like he's met her before. "Alice you say, and you also seem to be using olden english... I think we've met before somewhere. I might be mistaken, though." He then focuses his attention to Tot. "And uh, who are you?"

Spidey glares over at both the rock girl, and the newcomer. He'd raise his right lens curiously at the man's question. "I can't say I am, name's Spider-Man pal and I just hang out here... I might be able to answer em anyways though? I mean, I've met the owner some so hey why not ask. Can't promise anything, but I see no reason not to offer what I do know." He'd then glance at the others in the room again. "Alright Niko, sounds fine to me. I'm always ready as long as I'm dressed like this, bet you already knew that though." "And yeah Alice that's fair, I've been here for a little while... Well, only since last May actually but it feels longer." "And um yeah what Niko said Ms...? You seem to have good taste in music, but that's all I can say we've learned so far. At any rate, a pleasure to meet you I'm sure."

"I've been here just over a week without a hint of anyone else livin' here." After glancing at Alice, Tot Pop closes her eyes with a satisfied grin, crossing her arms as she explains what's been hangin'. The girl opens them again to glare at Niko before actually introducing herelf. "You can call me the Magical Girl Tot Pop, and based on your reactions I'd say you've all probably got some kinda connection with the kingdom. Probably a loose one if you haven't heard of me. Anyways, I've just sorta been rockin' out here for a while awaiting my next call. Figured it was forgotten about by now."

The Kingdom? He hasn't got even the slightest clue what that is. "I'm not sure about any kingdom, I'm just a small-time superhero... Well, was. These days I'm sort of an Avenger, but if I had to put down money I'd say you may not know what the Avengers are right?" He sighs and rubs the back of his head, looking around the room as if he's hoping for an excuse to evade explaining this. "Only a week too... Well then Tot Pop, to sum up this place is sort of like a... A tangled mess of different worlds, all meshed into one weird as heck whole that has elements of and people from each. In short if we have no clue what each other are talking about, we probably aren't from the same universe."

The man seems to perk his ears up at the name Spider-Man, not perceptibly from a distance, but they do. He retrieves a small leather wallet from his jacket and opens it to reveal a golden police badge. He'd heard most of what he'd needed to know "Ichijo, Nagano police. I was hoping to find some information about the police here, they don't seem to be present at all. This was the only building with lights on in the vicinity, so I'm sure you understand. It goes without saying this isn't the world I know, so I'll skip to the chase. Is there any sort of police force here, or is crime non-existent?" He puts his badge back into his pocket, moving something out of the way to make room. He takes a seat at the bar, eyeing the others around him. "I only ask because until I return to where I came from, I intend to keep peace, and in order to do that, I will need my equipment restocked." He retrieves a phone from his waist pocket, and as he already knew, no signal. "Don't let me keep you from your, erm, fight I suppose. I'll be more than happy to ask others who aren't busy."

Alice lightly blushes at Niko's words as she tried to correct herself while shifting her weight from one foot to the other. "T-that's. I apologize. Without anyone to inform me I tend to slip back into mine er- my old way of speaking. Since the language hath- have not changed very much I didn't think it would be a problem to continue speaking that way until an acquaintance of mine told me it stands out." she said awkwardly as she looked back up to Niko "As for if we've met, I apologize once more. I do not remember if we have." "Kingdom?" Alice would tilt her head to Tot at the word. "I hadn't thought 'Kingdoms' still existed in this Era."

Niko scratches the back of his head. "I remember it was a park or something, there was this kid in a mask, I think it was a mask you see people wear in hospitals. Again, I might be remembering wrong... Also, feel free to speak in your old way of speaking, I don't mind." He shakes his head. "What kingdom are you talking about? There are probably plenty of kingdoms in the nexus, or at least there are plenty of castles."

Spidey looks over at the cop, he'd actually turn quite cheerful upon hearing that shockingly. "Oh, police nice! Well, there are some cops around yeah Mr. Ichijo, but uh by and large they don't really have the kind of stuff you'd need to cope with the many superpowered or magical issues... That's kind of where guys like me usually come in. Though honestly, I'll deal with any kind of danger if I happen upon it. They don't call me Friendly Neighborhood for nothing!" He'd zip over to the man for a moment, looking down at the phone and tilting his head upon seeing no signal. "Huh, guess ya aren't getting anything? I could take a look at that sometime if you want, this place does have internet and phone service just obviously the same as wherever you came from." He'd then leap back over to the ring, clearly a bit eager to see some action as he paces around it.

"None of you know?" Tot doesn't hide her surprise, but at the same time she seems almost overjoyed at it, at the very least it gives her an excuse to tell her side of things. The girl grins and nods "Talkin' about the Magical Kingdom, it doesn't really exist in the human world, per se, but they do show up every now and then to draft some people with potential, like me." Tot gives a satisfied grin, crossing her arms again as she looks to the side "That said they're really a bunch of good for nothing beauraucrats who're always after each others' throats. Don't really care what we end up doing as long as it doesn't cause too much trouble for the normies. If it were up to them I'd probably spend the rest of my life doin' community service or whatever." Tot Pop shrugs, in all her excitement she didn't seem to notice the Nexus bit, or maybe she just doesn't really care. Either way, the girl hops towards one of the rings "And honestly, that'd be a huge waste. I haven't gotten to practice against anything real in a while, so maybe it'd be best if I just showed you eh?"

Alice would nod her head as she thought the kingdom she was from sounded similar to the place she currently called home. Though after being here for a while she's noticed how strange it is that her entire society came into this world and not just a few people. She would look over to Niko in the ring with spider man and then decided it might not be too bad to stretch a little. She walk over to the ring and hop into it with Tot. "I may be a little rusty but I hope you treat me well." she said with a smile with a curtsy

Superpowered, huh? Ichijo would open his briefcase, looking over its contents. It contained 24 bullets packed in foam. He closes it after another inspection. It should last him through three, maybe four encounters. "Always nice to meet someone who appreciates the police, even if a bit condescending..." He'd finish muttering that sentence, and flash a quick thumbs up. "I guess it's going to start soon." Staring at the two gathered in the ring, he'd turn the chair to face the action. Should the masked man be credible, he shouldn't need to interfere.

"Alright then, Lets ROCK, and see how you roll" Tot's energy can be felt throughout the place as she whips the guitar off her back, playing a succession of sixteenth notes, where her fingers dance across the strings a series of corresponding notes get sent out, in this case flying directly towards Alice. In this case, in the space of half a second she'd send a total of eight of these smaller notes, they'd each be rather low impact, but moving about as fast as a bullet. As soon as she's sent the projectiles Tot dashes forwards herself, following them up with a swing of the blunt side of her guitar, she's not really worried about holding back so the guitar swing would be much more impactful

Niko takes a deep breath. "Alright, Spidey, I'll be ready in a sec." He puts on his headphones, and takes out his bat. "...Do you have any goggles I can wear so I don't get webs in my eyes?"

He laughs for a moment, reaching into a small compartment hidden on the suit's front and pulling out an old set of goggles that he'd once used himself. Quickly tossing them to the boy. "Heh, yeah that's fair. They might be a bit big on you, but yeah. I keep em around as a memento I guess, those used to be part of my costume after all." He'd begin doing a few stretches, working his muscles a bit to prepare. "Now what was that thing you do called again... A persona, but which one? Ah well, I'll wing it just like I always do!"

He puts on the goggles. He's a bit nervous, but he'll also wing it as he goes. "Alright, let's have a go then, mate." He spins out his evoker to seem cooler than he is.

Alice would look at the quick incoming attack with interest and immediately jump to the side out of range of the incoming notes. Black energy began to form around her hand as she swings it at Tot to meet her weapon. As her hand collides with the blunt side of the guitar she used that force to take distance and as she does five orbs of black energy appeared around her and shot towards the rocker girl. "You're quite interesting. I can't wait to see what else you're capable of of."

Spidey grins under his mask, glancing upwards for a moment before an initial plan comes to mind. "Alright then, been a little while since I've fought anyone like this... So, let's see how I hold up, shall we? Think I'll go ahead and make the first move!" His wrists quickly move to the ceiling, in moments he'd have placed himself above Niko by clinging to the top of the building. A second sooner, he's launching off of it down to the ground with a kick that's propelled by inhuman strength. "I call this one the 'Raining Spider'! Which would be a lot more terrifying if they were tiny and full of venom, honestly."

Niko tries to follow Spidey's movements, yeah the hand is quicker than the eye, but hey, might as well try to dodge whatever's coming. "Yeah, this should be good. Isn't that right, Yog-Sothoth?" He sees Spider-Man quickly coming towards him, he summons his persona, intending to attack while he's in the air instead of dodging. "Did you make that name on the fly? Cus it really missed its mark." He sends a blast of psychic energy at Spider-Man, hopefully also taking him off course.

The attack does force him off course, easily even. He wasn't quite prepared to evade in the middle of his charge, and as the man's spider-sense flares he's slammed with a blast of raw energy. On the other hand... A pair of weblines forming behind Niko, as the energy slams into him Pete grabs on hard and tears out part of the floor, if Niko didn't move quickly he'd be struck with part of the ground that had been pulled up by webbing. Either way, he'd come down to the ground "Geez man, those Persona things have some nasty tricks. Magic is like that though huh? Now me, I've gotta get by with plain old gadgets if I wanna do anything without getting close... Oh well, I've never been one to quit."

Tot was honestly half-expecting it to be over, but it was nice to see someone still able to stand their own. Was never fun to wind up killing anyone after all. Not without a fight first. Though its hard to tell what her opponent's exact ability was, that also makes it exciting "Oooh, some kinda darkness control then. Ability to form shadows into solid objects?" half-giddy, Tot throws down a random guess as she switches back to playing her guitar, this time rather than laying down a series, Tot strikes a single, extremely loud chord, this time forming a solid black whole note to meet the orbs in the middle, this one would be much slower than the sixteenth notes, while letting their attacks clash in midair Tot would also go ahead and angle another quick riff of sixteenths towards the ceiling, however rather than being fully solid they'd have a soft, bouncy texture, much like rubber letting them ricochet off the ceiling, into the back wall, and at Alice from behind

Alice would look amused at all of the things Tot was doing. She watched as the large note collided with her attack and as the notes bounced off of the ceiling. She would release eight more balls of energy that all scattered around the room in seemingly random directions before stopping in the air and hanging there. She then turned to the note that collided with her attack and charged straight towards Tot. As she came closer to the note and her attack they soon canceled each other out as she charged towards Tot with black energy surrounding both of her hands. She slashed one hand upwards creating three blades of darkness that slid across the floor towards her as the other hand was ready to counter any incoming attack from the front. She didn't seem intent to avoid the attack from behind.

Tot keeps an eye on the orbs floating around the sides, odds are Alice still has some measure of control over them, so she’ll need to keep thinking about them. For now, the girl hops between her feet like she just can’t stop, and leaps well over the dark blades, assuming they weren’t reaching the ceiling there “Oooh wicked, you don’t even have to be touching ‘em do ya? Mine’s more fire and forget.” as she speaks those words, Tot moves her hand further up on the guitar to strike out the highest pitched chord she can manage, her guitar shrieks in the air and launched out another massive chord straight down towards the middle of the ring. The set of notes she launched last round would be just about finished with their bouncing and headed towards Alice from behind. they’re a bit on the soft side, making them hit more like hard rubber, painful, but not overly dangerous As for the big one, as soon as it strikes anything solid, it’d shatter like glass, sending pointy shards all around the room. Of course, some of the shards would be headed Tot’s way as well, but she’s more than ready to block them

Alice would smile as she saw the large note fall towards her. "Interesting. Very Interesting!" she yelled with clear amusement The dark energy around her hand disappeared and was replaced with something else, something that felt far more sinister. There wasn't any energy that could be seen forming around the hand. Instead it seemed as though the very air around it had become visibly green as black flecks formed and fell to the ground. Whatever she was doing was killing the air itself. She positioned herself right below the note that came hurdling down. "Void Slash" Those words left her lips as she swung her hand upwards towards the note and Tots. Unfortunately, or maybe fortunately, the rubber bullets struck Alice in her back causing her attack to veer off course. Even still, the invisible blade of corrosion cut through the air unhindered and when it collided with the note it didn't destroy it or cause it to shatter. Instead, it simply carved out more than half of it. As if cleanly erasing the portion it came into contact with as it continued up and cut into the ceiling completely missing Tots. The attack carved out a gash in the ceiling that didn't even leave rubble. The remaining parts of the note hit the ground around Alice as it shatter and sent glass shards towards Alice's body. A corrosive field appeared around Alice for only a few moments as they didn't exactly cause the shards to completely erase but made them more brittle. When the shards hit Alice they shattered upon her flesh leaving only a couple of shallow cuts. The eight spheres of darkness she had released earlier all shot towards Tots as eight more appeared from Alice and shot towards her as well in hopes of hitting her while she was suspended in the air.

’oh shit’ is the first thing to pop into Tot’s mind when she witnesses part of her attack being erased. She had assumed that Alice’s magic turned shadow into physical form, but looking back it ended up deleting her first attack too. Since all opponent’s she knew of only had one kind of magic, it was safe to assume they’re directly related. In other words, this girl’s ability wasn’t to give shadows physical form, it’s to utterly destroy things. Definitely different, and leagues above Tot’s own. The girl grabs onto one of the hanging lights and says as the orbs approach her “Just so ya know, this is still my turf. I’ll be back to claim it.” before swinging upwards towards the hole in the ceiling Alice created, breaking it open further if need be, and heading out. She didn’t have a real reason to fight the other girl, and there’s no way she’d win a direct confrontation at that point, so it’s much better to just get out and ensure she survives

"Eh?" Those confused words were the only thing that met her confusion. Silence reigned over the inside of the building as she watched the rocker girl escape through the gash in the ceiling, breaking it further so she could fit. "........Eh?" Wasn't this simply an exhibition match. A practice round? A warm up? Alice was definitely starting to get into it since she hadn't seen that type of magic before but surely she didn't go too far did she? No no no no no. That Tots girl had more attacks up her sleeve didn't she? After thinking this far her thoughts simply stopped. "..........................Eh?" She crouched down as she grabbed her head. "ugh, I messed up again didn't I?" she asked herself before she looked around with a cold sweat "I'll....I'll just....come back later. Yeah. That's probably for the best." she said before jumping out of the ring and walking out of the door of the building. As soon as she came to an area she was fairly sure she wasn't being watched in she disappeared in a wisp of white smoke.
