Kel was on her usual scouting mission for monsters when she decided to take a pass by the Bean. People seemed to be arriving a lot these past few days, and she figured it couldn't hurt. Maybe, if she were lucky, it would be somebody from home.

As she walked towards the bean, she definitely saw someone. With a very large sword. Kel decided that stringing her bow would be an excellent plan before revealing herself. Having done so, she took a few steps out of her cover. Keeping a distance between herself and the bean, she called out.

"Hello! Are you new here?"

[iron_traitor]

Judas heard the footsteps behind her long before the call, and turned to face the other woman, again disguising herself with an innocent air.

"Hm? Oh, yes," she ran her fingers idly through her hair, "I'm not really sure how I got here, actually..."

[lady_glaive]

There seemed something...off about this woman. Almost like she was hiding something. Kel made a mental note to be cautious around her until all of her loyalties were discovered.

"Don't worry, none of us know how we got here either. I'm Lady Knight Keladry of Mindelan. And you are?"

Kel didn't get close enough to shake the new arrival's hand- that sword on her back looked deadly. And used.

"...Elizabeth." smooth, Judas. Shouldn't have hesitated. Well, at least it wasn't like she was lying about her name.

She forced a smile, hoping it seemed pleasant enough, "It's nice to miss you, milady."

She paused, "'Us'? Do you mean to say that there are more people who just appeared here?"

Mechakara had not been in a good mood of late. Ever since his recent - and rather painful - loss against Aqua, he'd been forced to lie low as he worked to repair the damage she'd done. It had gone more slowly than he'd have liked, mostly due to the complete lack of decent supplies in this disgusting human-infested waste of a city. At least he hadn't had difficulty acquiring some patches for his damaged skin-suit. Though he'd much prefer to let the last vestiges of his Linkara rot, walking about as his true self would be foolish. Everyone here knew who he was now.

Well. Perhaps not everyone. That was what brought Mecha to the Bean today. He was operating better now, he could (more or less) pass for human, and he really wanted to kill something that would scream. The soulless husks of Chicago just weren't cutting it

Judas perked immediately at the sound of her code name. The lady Keladry was right; she would meet someone she knew here, and the echoing metal rasping of a voice gave him away in an instant, even before she noted the physical form of the Champion with Mechakara's wicked glint upon his face.

It certainly was a small world. "Pollo!" she exclaimed, using Mechakara's real name. She looked him up and down, surprise and joy written all over her face. With Lord Vyce gone, she had no obligation to be on familiar terms with him, especially since she knew he would try to kill her the very moment his robot apocalypse was to renew itself, but she had taken an immediate liking to his love of chaos and destruction and respected him as an equal as long as he could stand to work with her.

"And here I thought the Champion had destroyed you." her tone was only one of surprise at seeing him alive.

[seesonlyred]

A small world indeed. Mechakara had never expected to see Judas Liz here, not that the loss had bothered him any. As a human, he supposed she was tolerable - certainly there were few others whom he would ever deign to ally himself with. Her thirst for blood could make her quite useful, and her timing was certainly impeccable.

"Hardly," he replied, a disdainful smirk passing across his lips. Obviously she must have come from a different point in time than he, but even so the robot was confident that Linkara would not defeat him again. "Though the dimensional anomaly responsible for this...place has brought him here as well. Not the woman, however," he added, almost as an afterthought. Judas's little quest would simply have to wait.

[iron_traitor]

"I guess that would explain why we never found your body." or at least not parts of it, other than his hand, which they found out by the taunting message that drove Vyce to his defeat was in the Champion's control. Or so she thought at first, at a quick glance she noted that both of Mechakara's hands seemed to be intact again. Did he perhaps repair himself?

"Well, either way, it's good to see you again." she would have given him a friendly pat on the shoulder, but knew he would have her hands for touching him. Instead she turned her attention to his last statement.

"Did you say the Champion is here?" But not Iron Liz...that fact was a little disappointing, but if Linkara was really here, that could prove just as advantageous to her.
