[i]”Return of the Black Market”
(Under the Tatakoi Plains, Tatakai)[/i]
Sprawling activity was present here, a marvel of an underground paradise built underneath the ruined battlefield and mountains of dirt which were once people. While all the invasions and battles go on above, partying and a massive selling occurred below.
A Void Portal, the second one of its kind in Tatakai connected people from all across any dimension or timeline, and here, people of all classes and species, illegally bought goods and various services from across the Dojo and Amoridia’s galaxy here.
“Get your damn fix of specialties here! Weed, red sand, death sticks, we have ‘em all!” A Turian yelled from his stand, various ‘specialties’ surrounding him.
“Get yer illegal weapons here; comes from all over the damn multiverse; Dahl, Smith & Wesson, even Imperial weapon’s; they’re all up for sale!” Another person, this one being some type of Krogan, smiling as he showed a massive armada of weapons stolen from across dimensions and universes.
“Get your Perks tonight!” Someone shouted, various soda machines behind him, with names like ‘Speed Cola’ and ‘Double Tap’ being prominent names on his soda shop.
The Dojoites could be able to enter there, but, and even recreate or create their own shop there...
Well, first they had to get to the elevator that lead down into the Black Market, in an abandoned mine, guarded by two Krogan and a strange orange electric gate in front of them.
“You think anyone’s gonna come?” Whispered one of the Krogan.
“Maybe.” Told the other, as they waited for potential new people to come.
[spoiler]Open! Welcome back to the Black Market; need criticism on this, to help enhance; might make this thing a monthly thing if it’s popular enough. Gods are allowed, but they’ll be nerfed heavily while in the Market. (I’m looking at you, Korsis. Same to you, Pan.)[/spoiler]

-
Someone wearing Mark VI spartan armor approached the elevator. The armor was purple with pink stripes, the visor a golden color.
-
“Wait, Wait, Wait, purple Grimace. We gotta ask you a few questions before you go in. Safety purposes and all.” The Krogan on the left told him, the Krogan on the right beginning to ask the first question. “First...your name.” The Krogan asked. “That way vendors could know your name and be able to help provide discounts, and recommendations. Y’know, So you won’t try to shoot the person for a bad deal if you’re that type of person.”
-
"Reyna," the spartan replied. The voice was notably distorted, but the fact it was female was distinguishable. Her voice was rather deep for a woman's mimicing that of Agent Texas's.
-
“...Ok, then.” The Krogan on the right had told Reyna. “And that’s the only thing we need to know about you. Take the elevator down m, and you’ll enter the Black Market. Don’t try to cause too much of a slaughtering; the VI in the elevator will tell you the rules as you make your way down.” The two stepped out of the way, allowing Reyna into the elevator. Two buttons were obviously there; one for up and one for down.
-
She pushed the down button. She waited for the rules to pop up.
-
An VI in the form of a young woman showed up, as she began to explain. “Welcome to the Black Market. Here, you may trade, mingle, and potentially beat up people from across the Multiverse. Only two rules apply to this area; any extraterrestrial Power, such as the Force, Magic Of almost any kind, or Guardian abilities, is neutralized whilst in the Black Market. Any attempt to get these powers will swiftly end up having you life end before your eyes. The second rule is to not ‘slaughter’ anyone in a massacre-like state. This will end with, once more, your Swift death. Enjoy your time at the Black Market, Reyna.” The VI told her, a little communincator being given to Reyna. “This shall be used if you’d like to see the various shops more in-depth, or if you need any additional assistance.” The VI told her, signing off, as the elevator doors opened, to reveal a plethora of species and people, mingling with one another, lots of shops all around her that she could go to...
-
She sighed at her cousin in code. "Guardians? Magic? Extraterrestrial? What even is this planet? ¿Infierno?" She asked herself. She stepped out of the elevator.
-
“That...I cannot tell you.” The VI said through the communicator, as some of the various people there...Sullustans and a few Wookiees from Star Wars, a few bandits from Pandora, and various other species gave her looks. They’d probably never seen someone from the Dojo’s universe before...at least most of them were.
-
[spoiler]She is from Halo Universe[/spoiler] Reyna walked toward a nearby illegal weapons shop. "Hey, couz? Can you give me info on the range of weapon types from this shop?" She asked. Surely, the VI would have noticed that Reyna was really an AI in an exo body with Spartan armor.
-
[spoiler]Gotcha.[/spoiler] It was a salarian she was talking to. "Ah; you must be new to the Black Market. Different vendors sell different things here; I sell SMGs and Pistols, there's a Krogan straight ahead, real popular guy; sells Assault Rifles, Blasters, and Shotguns. There's a Wookie who sells explosive stuff. Dahl representative sells elemental weapons. And I know there's someone around here with snipers. Human, really loves them." The salarian explained.
-
"Any Covenant tech? Or Forerunner tech. Or fusions," Reyna asked.
-
“I believe there’s a vendor a couple shops from here that might have Covenant tech. Forerunner tech’s expensive, but you should find some in a shop around two blocks away. And if you’re talking about fusion rifles, there’s someone representing some nihilistic ‘Dead Orbit’ a few vendors down.” The Salarian explained.
-
"Okay. Was talking about fusions of forerunner and human tech, but... whatever." She walked to the shop two blocks away, as described where the covenant tech was.
-
She arrived at a crowd of people, specifically Salarian and Quarians, all in a line that was depleting rather quickly.
-
She waited in line.
-
The lien quickly depleted itself, the vendor himself being human, a normal UNSC Assault Rifle slung on his back. “Welcome to the Covenant’s Haven, where we seek all your damn shit belonging to the Covenant, ripped straight from them and brought into our hands; what could I get ya?” He asks.
-
"Oh that's where the f**ing anomaly went" The man had walked into the market, and only then noticed the two guards. He whispered loudly, seemingly too himself "Well, the good news is that I've found it, the bad news..." "... ... ..." "What do you mean I'm whispering too-" "Ah shit"
-
“Um...yeah.” One of the Krogan has told him. “What do you mean ‘anomaly’? We’re simply running a profitable business full of associates here....from across the multiverse.” Said the Krogan on the left of a door, the right Krogan slapping him. “Don’t tell him that; he’ll probably have the feds here take the Market!” Yells out the other Krogan.
-
The man thought for a moment. "Hey, can I buy.... (... ... ...) All the boxes you have."
-
“Um... sure? We just need your name before you go in. The VI inside the elevator will tell you where the find it.” The Krogan has told him.
-
"Name's Cravis, Daniel Cravis "
-
“Good; welcome to the Black Market.” The Krogan told him, moving out of the way to allow a rabid into the elevator...which was a simple one, like he was insome futuristic workplace.
-
Cravis walked in, hands about the level of his waist, which on it had an assortment of slightly different shaped cylinders.
-
As the doors closed and as he got comfortable, a VI in the form of a young woman showed up within the elevator, as she began to explain. “Welcome to the Black Market. Here, you may trade, mingle, and potentially beat up people from across the Multiverse. Only two rules apply to this area; any extraterrestrial Power, such as the Force, Magic Of almost any kind, or Guardian abilities, is neutralized whilst in the Black Market. Any attempt to get these powers will swiftly end up having you life end before your eyes. The second rule is to not ‘slaughter’ anyone in a massacre-like state. This will end with, once more, your Swift death. Enjoy your time at the Black Market, Daniel.” The VI told her, a little communincator being given to Reyna. “This shall be used if you’d like to see the various shops more in-depth, or if you need any additional assistance.” The VI told her, signing off, as the elevator doors opened, to reveal a plethora of species and people, mingling with one another, lots of shops all around her that she could go to...

The man chuckled, almost as if reminiscing. He looked around. "So, what's in each stand?"
