Rating: TBD but probably violence.
Open: Ask first, please.
Status: Ongoing.

Artorias and Sif walked through the corridors in search of the room that Dean and his companion had mentioned over the network. He had a rough idea as to where he was going at least, but he had not yet experienced the strange magic room. In fact Artorias tended to avoid a lot of the station, sticking to Little Asgard and maintaining his duty as a protector of their household. The only times he really went away were to train with Thor and sometimes Malenia.

Artorias had been on the station for some time but never really grew accustomed to it. There was something so strange and lifeless about the construction of the corridors. Although he was thankful for their size given his height. Sif too was starting to get bigger. She was growing more and more. Now she was the size of a small horse. She was only going to get bigger.

Turning a corner, Artorias spotted Dean. Sif noticed him too, dashing towards him in the hopes of getting head pats.
"Greetings!" Artorias called, waving.

The knight had chosen to don his armour now that it had been completely repaired. No longer did it hold the markings of the abyss that had once corrupted him. It looked much better than it had before. Once it had clung to his ailing form. Now he wore it well, like a proud knight.

While Sif noticed the large rabbit, Sif had no interest in eating him. However, Sif was curious about him and sniffed the air. She tried to dip her head to show submissiveness and looked to the rabbit.

Artorias pet the wolves thick fur and smiled at his companion. Sif was always well fed and she was a well behaved wolf, growing up at Artorias' side. She was never really raised in the wilds the same way the other wolves were, but she did walk the wilds by her masters side when he ventured towards Oolacile. That was all so long ago.

"Is this where we will practice?" Artorias asked, looking towards the nearby room. "I still do not understand how this will be possible but I am curious" he said, some cheer in his voice.

Reggie was still rather anxious, Dean could feel it. "Is okay, Reggie, big wolf is very nice!" If Dean had wanted to, or if the thought had crossed his mind at the moment, he could have used a Ritual to cast Speak With Animals on himself so he could talk to Sif. Reggie hopped out once Sif lowered her head, he waryingly lifted his paw up to pat the wolf's head. When his arm wasn't bitten off, he continued to rub it.

"Your fur is very soft.. Uhm... What's her name? We only know your's." There was a small hint of joy in the hare's voice, this was nice.

"Ah! Uh... Dean knows! The Glowy Eyed Man told Dean.. This room it uses... Uh.." Dean paused, doing his best to try and make out the words, even if he didn't understand them. "Grm.. Hard... Light... Holo.. Grams!" His tail wagged a little more, happy with himself to get the words right. "We can fight anything we would like... And... Make the area change!" To people like him and Artorias, this would be something like magic. "Let us enter, and Dean will show Arto, yes?" Dean's excitement was palpable, he had yet to have the chance to train with someone bigger than him.

He walked up to the door, on the side of it was an electric keypad, which most had a code to. Dean simply placed his whole hand on it, which caused it to beep and the screen to turn green before the doors opened. The room was massive, but it had a very bland and clinical look to it, just like an ordinary room. "Come, Arto! Dean will show you!

"Ah, then you have my apologies. As do you, my friend" he said, petting the back of the wolf's neck. "My companion is named Sif" Artorias replied.

The wolf sat down, her head still lowered. She wagged her tail happily. Gingerly, carefully, the wolf sniffed Reggie, being careful so as not to scare the smaller creature away.

Artorias nodded to Dean and followed after him, the large wolf by his side. The room was quite different to other parts of the station. While Artorias had explored some of the station, he hadn't ventured too far. He had a duty to Little Asgard after all. So while the station was alien to him, its vast halls and numerous floors ginormous even to him, the small VR room was just as strange, perhaps even stranger.

"I am keen to see how you fight" Artorias said to Dean. "There are some I train with in the gardens. However, if this place can create miracles, then we may come here more often" he said, looking around the room.

"That is a very nice name... Sif!" Learning every minute, this one. But, he was happy to make two knew friends out of this. His maw 'smiled' even more. Reggie's impulsiveness got the better of him after figuring out Sif was very friend. He hopped up to her even more, and took a chance, with a great leap, he landed on her side then with a quickness he got on to her back. Just after he got there, he realized what he had done.

"I.. I'm sorry, Sif... I hope you don't mind. It would just be easier for me to get around like this." The large hare really hope the giant wolf didn't mind what he did.

"Oh? Arto trains in the gardens?" Dean vaguely knew where he meant, it was where his best friend, Shannon lived. After taking a few steps in the door slowly closed behind them, making a soft sound when it did. "Yes, that is what Glowy Eye Man wanted to happen!" Soon after the door open a horizontal beam of green light scanned them all.

"Welcome back, Dean and Reginald. Greetings and welcome Artoria and Sif, I see that this is your first time here." A female voice spoke out of thin air. A small whirling sound was heard as the AI was gathering data on Artoria and Sif. "Assessment complete. What is the purpose of your visit today, gentlemen?"

"Dean and Arto would like to train!" Dean spoke with excitement, his tail wagging even more.

"Of course! Would you like to train against each other, or would you rather train with each other against one or multiple opponents?" The AI asked in a rather polite tone. Dean looked to Arto, then to his sword, which Dean admired greatly. He was unsure if he wanted to train against Artoria just yet, though he loved battling, he didn't want to battle his new friend.

"Arto may choose, yes?"

The large wolf walked just behind her master, the large rabbit on her back. She didn't protest against him climbing up there. She did think it unusual but she was okay with it. Sif was friendly, so long as Artorias wasn't in danger. She was loyal to him, unaware of the future that would have laid ahead of them had they stayed in their own world. The space station once and for all proved how convoluted time truly was.

Artorias nodded to Dean. He had pledged himself to Freya and her family not long after he had arrived. After all, they had taken him in and looked after him, even when he was tainted with the abyss. They had shown kindness and compassion. Until Artorias would return home to resume his duties to his Lord, Gwyn, he would serve Little Asgard and the station.

"You and I, fighting side by side against multiple opponents" Artorias replied, reaching or the large sword at his back. He took the greatsword out, wielding it with one hand. The sword was over a meter and a half in length, and thanks to some gentle care, looked better than it had before. It was no longer corrupted, but well cared for.

He was unsure as to how it would work. Would he recognise the enemies the room somehow conjured? Were they illusions formed by some strange sorcery? The station itself seemed to work on some strange blend of miracles and sorcery that Artorias did not understand entirely.

Dean nodded slightly, honestly happy that Artoria chose to fight side by side with him. The Dragon would hate to become enemies with his newfound friend... Or make Reggie and Sif be enemies.

"COMMENCING SCENARIO.. " The disembodied voice spoke as the room changed. Instead of being in a cold metallic space, they were on a massive field with a forest on their sightlines. Dean and Artoria, side by side. Dean knew something of what was going on.

"It is okay... Just... Wait..." Dean was right, not two seconds after he spoke, over one hundred Goblins appeared on the opposite side of the Field.

Dean walked forward, smashing his Hammer into the ground. He dragged it behind him as he carelessly walked into the crowd. Dean was seemingly overwhelmed by the amount of bodies that were attacking him.

30 against 1, right?

No. 30 against Dean. They gathered on him, yes, but Dean was used to these kinds of attacks. When the last one tried to attack him, his hand gripped on to the Goblins face, with a simple muscle movement, Dean crushed his head with ease.

So many began to flood him. This wasn't a contest of who was stronger, but who could survive the longest...

The change of scenery made the knight pause to take it all in. It wasn't just how everything looked, it was how it felt. There was a soft breeze that wasn't there before. A faint earthy smell in the air followed, and even the sound of birds seemed to take the faint thrum of whatever powered the room. It all looked and felt so natural.

Then he saw the Goblins. The sheer amount of Goblins... He had never seen a Goblin before. They looked so small. Even smaller than the hollows of his home land. Smaller than regular human beings. But they were armed and they were charging towards them. Despite their small stature, he was certain that their numbers and speed were perhaps their strength, and perhaps it would be wise not to underestimate them.

Artorias swung his sword over his shoulder, holding it there with one hand. He waited patiently for the Goblins and as they ran towards him, he swung the massive greatsword around, knocking a number of them back as he sliced into them in one massive swing. Sif growled and grabbed a nearby goblin in her mouth, picking up up with each and shaking it vigorously before dropping it to the ground.

Dean was use to the change in scenery, he had been in this room many times. It was natural to him. Especially being flooded like he was at the moment.

But when he felt the flood dissipate, his maw turned up into what would could be considered a smirk. Now, Dean knew the knight was a very worthy ally. He growled as the stabbing from these Goblins continued. Even with their numbers, it would be nothing to the two of them.

Reggie held on tight to Sif as they began to mauling a Goblin. "Hey, hey! This... Wow, that was awesome!" As a giant hare, he couldn't do much, but he tried, biting one of the ones Sif took hold of. "Ha!"

Dean was no longer overwhelmed, he swung his hammer up, knocking the horde off of him with ease thanks to Artorias. One fell to the ground, Dean simply pressed his foot down onto it as if walking, crushing it's sternum as if it was the ground beneath him.

"Arto.. Is good... Battle friend..." Dean spoke with a smile on his maw. More and more began to show up, like a tidal wave of green. With a sideswipe of his hammer, many fell, but more kept coming. Dean took the agro of them, allowing them to keep stabbing and slashing him. He didn't care.

Electricity began to crackle through the air.

Though a few started to go after Artorias with their little weapons.
