The Truths of Existence, (Roleplay/IC/Sign-Ins Only)

[Naval Monte]

Tenzou's hotel

Just as Kaido left with Elynia Tessy and the Moon Sisters followed, the sisters not wanting to stay anywhere close to Elizabeth and Alice. Soon the group that got themselves into trouble return and Elizabeth smiled at them, showing them thin, serrated fangs. "You know us in the thief team are suppose to be the troublemakers right?" the amused woman reminded the group. "But still not only have two got your sorry arses in trouble but somehow created a new religion. At least that is what I'm getting with this Gangsterism bit on your charges." she said as she looked at the hologram.

When he mention that they should leave now Alice grimace. "Damn, me and Tandem were so excited on finding parts for these machines that would have helped us with communication." Tandem turn to Alice. "Why can still follow through with our plan if the team with new bounties on their heads come out with us and gather all the materials we need, otherwise we'll just simply see if we can finish our grand project with what was can find in this hotel." Alice looked at him and wonder if what he claimed was possible. But decided that Tandem wouldn't make a claim like that unless he was sure of himself.

Tandem's clothing began to change as the smart materials that made his clothing now appeared in an attire best suited for winter, even having a hood to cover his head and ears. Alice changed back to looking more human with winter clothing as well. "Me and Alice are going to town to gather our supplies for our project during the trip. If you need anything say them now before we leave." Elizabeth also changed back into a human form with usual clothing now back.

"I'm going with you two, I have to back share you two nerds don't get yourselves into trouble." Elizabeth exclaimed. She turned to Alzis who actually moved back once Elizabeth set her sights on her. "If you're going to ask me to come Ashwood then forget it. I rather stay here." Alzis said in a demanding tone, staying close to the bard encase Elizabeth decides to become hostile. Alzis wondered how Elizabeth will be able to kill her for good and now she can see the reason, somehow the illusion was destroyed prematurely and it caused both Elizabeth and the rest of humanity in that world to finally awaken.

Alzis turn to Wasp. "Your organization is behind the Illusion's destruction?" Alzis was confused on why they would take action on that world when they never showed clear signs of interest when it came to the Gnosis verse.

[Contamenesia]

Elynia

She shivered, still unconscious. her breathing was barely noticeable. her cheeks were blue from the cold, but it was starting to fade away. By the way she was dressed, it was now that any who were watching could tell subtle differences between Alvaranians and Elves. her body was more sturdy than an elf's but just as nimble. not only that, but for some reason, one could almost swear they could see lighting flash across her body, it was soundless, and only seemed to occur whenever one was not directly looking at her. Being in critical condition was what was allowing the others who were not Alvaranians to observe this, as Cyrssa and Tandem already knew of this.

Wasp

Wasp shrugged, "If it was my organization who did such, i do not know. I am not told everything, nor should i be. If i had to guess, as to why, one would have to ask the King. Also, Elizabeth. I already knew your god form. i was able to use its power when i stole you." he said calmly, walking towards the door. "I don't care about this dumb quest for the jewel. The Power of Light? Nova...i mean Firefly tops its power in every way. and Mantis....well she draws upon the darkness of all things, even if she doesnt want to. She'd counter the jewel as well. i do not know why you seek it." he said honestly.

Crowe

Crowe frowned. "Let us go upstairs, this conversation can continue in a more private setting." he took her hand and guided her upstairs, he checked the rooms until he found an empty one, and then pulled her inside. "So i'm guessing it was Wasp who told you this? He does seem like the one who would know about such a thing...."

Gabriel

Gabriel looked at Jason and frowned. if it came to a fight, Gabriel felt that his only option was to flee from this person, which was strange, as he had never had such a feeling before, usually there was always something he could do, even if he didn't know it. But not with him. He kept this to himself, and instead focused on the others. The dude with the cat-girl....simple sonic grenade and the white powder in his pocket, that is what felt right if he had to fight them. The Elves. Well Tenzou was easy, Shotguns felt right. However when it came to the one known as Cyrssa, and the one referred to as Tandem, the glowing rock in his pack felt right, along with the pin, the screw, and one of the grenades he stole from that IGSE place. The beautiful maiden who wore no shoes(Fauna)....he didn't see any situation that he would be fighting her. Elizabeth and Alice. Shotgun, rock, pin, toothpick, device stolen from Elizabeth, gum. With that, he would come out on top against both of them. the Dragons. sonic grenade, suitcase, Tenzou's shoe, and knife from the horned girl. The sexy horned girl....Shotgun, rapid-fire. though he would probably see if he could get her number first...He continued to do this in his head with the remainder of the group around him, as a way to entertain and preoccupy himself as he was starting to feel bored.

???

She grabbed Svaboda's hand and smiled at the elves, then daimonds began to spew from her other hand, an offering to the elves, while they numbered in the thousands, it would not make a dent in the treasures she had collected. The Elves were completely stunned in surprise, but then smiled and greeted them both. She turned to Svaboda and smiled, they should be safe here, at least for a little while...

Tessy and the Moon Sisters noticed the flashes of lightening and were puzzled by it. But Tessy push aside the oddity as she wrapped warm blankets around Elynia. The Moon Sisters put their hands on the nearly frozen Alvaranian and channel as much magic they can muster to make heat leave their hands and travel throughout the woman's body. Back with Tandem and Alice the latter looked at Tandem.

"Is there a way for us to help out that woman?" Tandem shifted so he was standing on another foot. "Besides trying to warm her up I can give her some of my implants but they will have a few minutes of trying to adjust to being in a new body." Tandem replied back. It was a natural weakness to his implants, they need to study and change depending on which body they found themselves in since not all biological creatures are similar to him.

"But it should take to long since me and that woman are members of the same species." Tandem said that he will be back and went off to find Elynia. As soon as he found the female Alvarnaian Tandem changed his fingers of his right hand to be thin blades and cut his thumb. He open Elynia's mouth and let a few drops go inside her mouth, his blood contain many different types of bio implants but the ones that he gave to Elynia will help recover her body from the cold.

Back in the main dining room Elizabeth heard what Wasp grimace on what he said. "Can you not say it that way. That sounds really weird and it looks like we are in the same boat, I don't care much for this jewel either." Alice was surprised to hear that Elizabeth didn't care about the jewel, but then remembers that she was doing it because Tessy joined and Elizabeth didn't want her to be alone during the quest. Alice spoke. "I joined in for the quest itself, not the jewel." she explain while letting out a smile.

Elizabeth turned to Gabriel. " So why are you here? We know you're a clairvoyant but that's all we know about you and you belong in the thief section of our little team but made you want to take on this quest?" Elizabeth asked, going over to one of the chairs and sitting on it. She was waiting for Tandem to come back so he and Alice can leave the hotel and she can join them.
----

Once Alzis was lead to a private room and made sure that no one was following them Alzis turn her attention to Crowe. "You're correct it was Wasp. He told me about my coming death, that it will be Ashwood that will do it and that you can help me have some sort of legacy behind once I'm gone for good." Alzis spoke in a cold, business manner tone. Trying her best not to show how much the matter truly bothered her but there were still cracks visible to the bard.

"He never told when exactly I will die, only that I have 14 months left. He never told me how Ashwood will do it but after seeing what happened downstairs I now know the truth. But knowing that Ashwood will kill me isn't the worst part. The worst part is that I know that if she doesn't do it than another member of her kind will do it now that they are awaken." Alzis sighed. She knew that sooner or later most of the people indebted to The Fates will awaken and will use their newfound powers to strike back at the organization but Alzis planned on disappearing by than.

Yet having the illusion fall apart this sudden ruined a lot of her plans, not just the Fates. "Keep this to yourself but my group has taken a severe blow. I still have a telepathic link with my other bodies and every other mage and human who came from my universe, one called Gnosis by some, have also awaken and they seem to have trouble controlling their powers. My guess is the surge of new information, memories of past lives and new senses are driving them mad. So far most of this is happening in regions where my organization rules but sooner or latter the other kings will know what is going on. After all their tech wasn't quite subtle on them returning."

Alzis took out a cigarette and once she lit it began to smoke. "I was planning on abandoning The Fates soon, the group is the perfect tool to achieve my goals, but it along with the Illusion are falling apart ahead of schedule. At this point me dying at a random place in the multiverse might as well happen."

[Kaidou]

Tenzou's hotel

Henry Saladass' forehead veins bulged in fury as he heard Wasp's words, but Kaidō raised his hand and motioned for Henry to sit down and calm down. With his round, beady eyes, baggy and lined with crows' feet, the Japanese chef gazed at Wasp, leaning his elbows on the table and sighing earnestly.

"You see, Wasp-sama, this is something that many among the Ahmarhan do not understand about us. We, as ordinary beings of the Multiverse, are gifted with sentience but, at the same time, bound to the objective morality of Life. Demons are on the loose, demons who have no regard for the value of life and for the rights of the individual. Demons, who are bent on bringing destruction and suffering to all corners of the Multiverse for their own sick pleasure.

"As humans, as sentient beings, we have a moral obligation to stop these evil forces. Complacency and nonchalance on our part is tantamount to complicity; I, as a person with a conscience, cannot sit back and watch these devils wreak havoc and misery throughout Existence. I may not be as strong as the Ahmarhan, or the ancient Alveranian Civilisation, or even one of the Rokuō; yet, I am obliged, by my conscience and by the laws of the light, to do my utmost to preserve the life of civilised societies around the Multiverse, even if it be a single dimension, a single galaxy, a single system, a single planet… even a single person."

"That is why I am supporting the likes of Hiccup-san, Felix-san, Steiner-kun, the Moon Sisters… That is why I am helping them to find a Jewel that can curb the influx of the ruthless demons and the madness of the Dark Rokuō…

"… and that is something that you, Wasp-sama, will NEVER UNDERSTAND from your seat of grandeur in the Ivory Tower of the Ahmarhan. That the little cogs of Existence are sentient too, that they deserve respect as living things, and do not deserve to be treated as vermin or as mere digits, no matter how insignificant they may be. Perhaps that is why the King of the Ahmarhan needs to use the threat of force to command the respect of the ordinary beings of the Multiverse."

With that, Kaidō sat back down into his chair, looking at Wasp with as stern an expression as his slightly overweight, round face would allow him. Henry Saladass looked at his palm for a moment, before glancing over at the two.

"I came for the money", he admitted, blushing a bit and smiling sheepishly, "but what the Jap guy said seems right too. I'm sure my motorcycles… uh… wife and kids would agree with him too, yes?"

"You can punish me for my 'belligerence', Wasp-sama ", said Kaidō to Wasp, smirking sardonically, "but that will only prove my point and my beliefs. I have said what I wanted… nay, what I was morally obliged to say… my conscience is clear."

…

"You might want to bring the woman into one of the rooms", said Tenzou. "She'll need a good deal of space and air. I will help to manage the details."

Josiah smiled back, before draping his coat over a coat hook on the wall.

"Come on", he said to the Moon Sisters, oblivious to the serious conversation going on at the table, "let's bring her upstairs. There are lots of rooms available."

[Contamenesia]

Wasp

Wasp Chuckled. then suddenly he was in front of Kaidō , holding his tongue between his finger and thumb, but it was still attached, he had not ripped it, only held it. "Say sama one more time, and i'll yank your tongue out of your mouth. You are the worm who sees the dirt and not the birds above. do not clam to know of things greater than yourself when you cannot comprehend them.As for your demon problem, i laugh because there are far easier ways to deal with it then that stupid relic. Your little mind is closed to all the possibilities that there are or are yet to be...It isn't the Ahmarhan's JOB to stop demons or to rescue every little damsel in distress that pops into existence. Our job is to make sure there IS an existence to where you can be an damsel in distress IN. We work above good and evil, because when it comes to preserving existence, those are Short sided and foolish quandaries. I may not be in good terms with the Ahmarhan, and i may not be happy with my King, but you will not doubt this: Without the Ahmarhan, all your fit throwing, teeth grinding, joy and suffering alike would not exist at all. Without us, there is NO past. NO present, and Absolutely No Future of anykind. No parallels, no imaginations or pocket dimensions to hide. Nothing. The lion does not concern himself with the problems of a ladybug. Nor should we do so with You. Existence is a flowing river that must be kept in check or its waters may fade into nothingness. Any thing my organization does is us guiding the path so it may continue on undisturbed." he said, his voice cold. he then let go of Kaidō's tongue, turned, and walked out the door.


Elynia

Elynia's body slowly recovered until she stopped shaking and her breathing was normal. Elynia awoke to arguing and shouting, followed by the slamming of a door. She awoke to see strangers all around her and she screamed in startled surprise, "AAAAAHHHHHH!!" her instincts kicked in and told her to flee, but she didn't get far as she remembered the orders the King gave to her, she stopped and slid into a ball in the far corner, though she was facing the group. She looked at them, fear in her eyes, she didn't know who they were, or if they were the ones she was looking for. For all she knew, she could be surrounded by a pack of murdering psychopaths...


Crowe

Crowe put a hand on her cheek, "You don't fool me. It's okay, just let it out. this isn't some business deal we are discussing, it's your life....and i'm here for you." he said with a warm smile, his sincere words plus his natural charm definitely helped make his words soothing. Despite his ways, Crowe had never mistreated a woman.

Gabriel

Gabriel chuckled, "Me? i was promised a jewel that would open up even grander adventures once i've stolen it." He grinned, "Though i have to say, you are on the skinny, sickly, pale side, you sure you eat enough vitamins, lassy?" he said, commenting on her looks. "You should take some notes from that heavenly beauty over there, she definitely knows where its at." he said motioning to the sexy horned woman.

[Kaidou]

-

As Wasp went out the door, the Japanese man chuckled in a strange, nameless emotion, before standing up and going after him.

"Oh, but who is it that you are protecting Existence for?" he asked sardonically. "It is the beings who exist within the whole web, is it not? Then I ask you this; why protect us, and then turn a blind eye to our struggles? Why keep Existence going and then sit back and shut off the screams of the people living within? You and your organisation are sustaining a world with no meaning and no intrinsic value, and are more than happy to leave us to burn simply because you think that power and knowledge equals to morality and goodness."

Kaidō left the door open.

"Look here!" he declared to the rest. "If he chooses to strike me down, he will only prove my point. That the organisation known as the Ahmarhan have completely missed the purpose of their vision, and that Lieutenant Wasp is a hypocrite and a juvenile."

"Have you gone mad???" hissed Henry, hiding behind the wall. "He's gonna kill us all!"

Kaidō turned back to face the biker pirate. His face and his expression darkened.

"For too long, this indirect suppression has been tolerated", said the fat Japanese man solemnly, refolding his kimono right over left. "Somebody has to speak up. Even if the world were to label me as a madman and an idiot, I know in my heart that this is the right thing to do."

The biker pirate looked on with a blank expression, while the rest who were inside turned to face the two standing off in the backyard.

[Contamenesia]

Wasp

Wasp, without turning his head, only made this reply: "It's simple really. Why does a canvas maker make canvases, when he himself is no painter? because, he knows, without the canvas, the painter cannot paint. The canvas maker doesn't concern himself with what the painter paints or what people think of the painting. Only that there is a canvas for the paintings to exist. That is our purpose. Existence is the canvas, and all events within are the paint. Without us, there is no paint, in fact, there isn't even a painter...." he said coldly, continuing his path.

[Kaidou]

Tenzou's hotel

"You think so?" asked Kaidō. "There is no painter? Is it not the Ahmarhan, who are the ultimate rulers? Because if they are, then they seem content with making an artwork from the gore of the dying people whom they turn a blind eye to all the time. And I am not going to sit around and let this wicked nonchalance carry on any longer…"

Before the Japanese man could follow Wasp, Henry had dashed out and grabbed him by the arm.

"Don't do that!" he pleaded. "It's suicide!"

"I cannot tolerate this! He has to die!"

"He won't die!" said Tenzou, from inside the hotel building. "He can't die! You've done all that you can, and that's already divine in itself… please, come inside. We can't lose more than we already have."

Kaidō sighed, before following Henry back inside.

---

Josiah yelped in surprise at Elynia's sudden screaming, but he regained his composure, seizing her hand and attempting to reassure her.

"Hey, don't worry! We aren't gonna hurt you! You're not well now, so you need to get warm first…"

[Naval Monte]

Tenzou's hotel

The sisters and Tessy helped move Elynia to the new room upstairs. "Thank you for helping us." Selene said as made sure the blanket was still around the woman's body. Once Tandem's job was done he left the elf and four ladies to deal with Elynia, he return back to the room where everyone was right as Kaido gave his speech to Wasp. Back with the sisters and Tessy they saw Elynia was waking up.

Neither of them were expecting for her to scream in terror, well Tessy was expecting it considering the last time she saw her. Seeing the fear in Elynia the woman knew that she needed to claim Elynia down before she does something that would hurt her or someone else. Giving her a warm and kind smile Tessy spoke. "Don't be afraid miss, we don't mean you any harm. Far from it we saved you from freezing to death." she explained. The Moon Sisters then introduced themselves along with Tessy follow by asked the Alvaranian woman for her name. "If it makes you feel better there are two more Alvaranians down stairs. They will tell you that you can trust us and that we saved your life."
-----

Elizabeth wanted to side with Kaido as she agreed with his speech but at the same token she also knew that what Wasp also stated had hints of truth, the former mage found that having cosmic knowledge has it's drawbacks after all. "Well you two debate about what is good and evil or if any of that even matters I will have to side with the Ahmarhan one thing, those demons are easier when compared to this damn jewel." Alice and Tandem were surprised that Elizabeth will actually side with Wasp with anything, in the back of their heads they wonder if either the multiverse is ending now or if Elizabeth is going insane.

"Their main job was to keep my kind trapped and they have been failing that job for a very long time and now the illusion is gone." Elizabeth changed into her eldritch form and her fingers turn into the same blades as her cursed knife. "They came into this multiverse thinking they can gather enough power to keep their precious illusion alive, but with it gone I wouldn't be surprised if they are now feeling into this multiverse just to hide from my people."

Elizabeth gave the group a wide grin that made Tandem shiver somewhat, he can feel that whatever intentions Elizabeth has on the demons can only end terribly for them. "You said them fleeing into this multiverse as though these demons don't belong to this one." Elizabeth clasp her hands together. "Bingo my long eared friend, those dreadful bastard and their ilk come from a different multiverse. I suppose now it wouldn't be too surprising if you also know that me, Alice, Alzis and The Eyes of Fates as a whole also came from the same multiverse as them." Tandem was surprised to hear that piece, Alice seem to be surprise too but not as much as Tandem since she has the same access to cosmic knowledge as Elizabeth.

"So this demonic incursion is also an invasion from a another multiverse? I never thought that would ever happen in my life time, granted I have been around for a long time." Alice smiled at Tandem. "Tandem by existence standards you are still young." Once more she floated behind the Alvarnaian and rested her arms and head on top of his, she too on her eldritch form.
As Elizabeth changed back into her human form she heard Gabriel mention his reason on being in the quest, she chuckled at her comment about her appearance and his opinion on Kyne.

"You have nice taste in women I give you that, but don't let my appearance fool you mate." as Elizabeth grin at the man her very figure soon match Kyne's, even having horns, a long tail and membranous wings. As Elizabeth got up her body soon changed back to her normal human appearance. "As for my ghostly appearance well you try getting a tan in London while having your job being in the night most of the time. Also do I really look sick? I mean have a hard time sleeping but I don't look that sick?" Elizabeth asked as she walked next to Gabriel, she lean close to him to whisper.

"Sick or pale I still manage to snatch the heart of an arid beauty and she did the same with mines. Also if you want I can tell you which world she comes from so you can visit her whenever you want."
-----

Alzis was rather surprised with how Crowe was treating her, it was a treatment that felt foreign to Alzis. Without even realizing it tears began to leave her eyes. "Ashwood said that I have multiple personalities, in a way she is right. Each body that I'm in does change my personality in some ways." Alzis admitted. Alzis never once thought of each body being a different being, to her they were all pieces of a larger puzzle that made the identity and ego known as Alzis.

"I don't want to die. I still haven't figure out who or what I am. I can't die without knowing who I was in the past." she said as she cried more. Letting Crowe being one of the selected few to know her deepest secret.

[Novia Soviet Socialist Republic]

Kyle

The door to the chamber holding the Sword of Supremacy swung open and in stepped 4 soldiers, all dressed different though 2 wore a symbol akin to the Helgan Corporations Occult Branch. One other wore British SAS garb and another was an Eldritch, wearing the mysterious power armor they were known for. Kyle pointed his anti-matter rifle at both Azathoth and Altyrnia "This is the Joint Operations Division! Drop your weapons and get the fuck down, assholes!" He yelled, putting emphasis on the ass in asshole before he felt it. The amount of magical energy coming off both of them was nauseating. Temple, still pointing his sniper rifle at Altyrnia looked down at Kyle "What's up? And why is my magic meter so high, I think it's bugged" He said, tapping on his helmet visor. The Eldritch warrior known as Interloper got down on one knee and bowed his head in respect however upon realizing who it was they were in the presence of. Renegade, the SAS trooper just stood there confused on the other hand "What the hell is going on?" He asked looking at the other 3 of his squad.

Interloper looked up at Renegade and then up at Hype Man (Kyle) and Temple "This is Azathoth the great, it would be wise of you to show respect" He growled at them before looking up at Azathoth, still on one knee "Forgive me my lord, we did not mean to make such an intrusion on your business" The warrior pleaded, though Kyle being who he was rolled his eyes and looked over at Altyrnia "So if he's the all mighty creator of the multiverse, who the fuck is she?" He asked, clearly upset that he had been dragged off of his break "Seriously, we get dragged off of break to interrupt some gods show and tell? I don't get paid enough for this crap" Kyle growled in a clearly annoyed manner "Hype Man...you're rich remember?" Renegade said in a dead pan way "Shut the fuck up Carl" Kyle replied in the same annoyed manner causing Renegade to sigh "For fuck sake Hype Man use code names!" Renegade yelled at his commanding officer, in his thick Scottish accent.

Elynia

She shivered, still unconscious. her breathing was barely noticeable. her cheeks were blue from the cold, but it was starting to fade away. By the way she was dressed, it was now that any who were watching could tell subtle differences between Alvaranians and Elves. her body was more sturdy than an elf's but just as nimble. not only that, but for some reason, one could almost swear they could see lighting flash across her body, it was soundless, and only seemed to occur whenever one was not directly looking at her. Being in critical condition was what was allowing the others who were not Alvaranians to observe this, as Cyrssa and Tandem already knew of this.

Nova...i mean Firefly tops its power in every way. and Mantis....well she draws upon the darkness of all things, even if she doesnt want to. She'd counter the jewel as well. i do not know why you seek it." he said honestly.

Crowe

Crowe frowned. "Let us go upstairs, this conversation can continue in a more private setting." he took her hand and guided her upstairs, he checked the rooms until he found an empty one, and then pulled her inside. "So i'm guessing it was Wasp who told you this? He does seem like the one who would know about such a thing...."

Gabriel

Gabriel looked at Jason and frowned. if it came to a fight, Gabriel felt that his only option was to flee from this person, which was strange, as he had never had such a feeling before, usually there was always something he could do, even if he didn't know it. But not with him. He kept this to himself, and instead focused on the others. The dude with the cat-girl....simple sonic grenade and the white powder in his pocket, that is what felt right if he had to fight them. The Elves. Well Tenzou was easy, Shotguns felt right. However when it came to the one known as Cyrssa, and the one referred to as Tandem, the glowing rock in his pack felt right, along with the pin, the screw, and one of the grenades he stole from that IGSE place. The beautiful maiden who wore no shoes(Fauna)....he didn't see any situation that he would be fighting her. Elizabeth and Alice. Shotgun, rock, pin, toothpick, device stolen from Elizabeth, gum. With that, he would come out on top against both of them. the Dragons. sonic grenade, suitcase, Tenzou's shoe, and knife from the horned girl. The sexy horned girl....Shotgun, rapid-fire. though he would probably see if he could get her number first...He continued to do this in his head with the remainder of the group around him, as a way to entertain and preoccupy himself as he was starting to feel bored.

???

She grabbed Svaboda's hand and smiled at the elves, then daimonds began to spew from her other hand, an offering to the elves, while they numbered in the thousands, it would not make a dent in the treasures she had collected. The Elves were completely stunned in surprise, but then smiled and greeted them both. She turned to Svaboda and smiled, they should be safe here, at least for a little while...

Sarah

Sarah stared at Gabriel who appeared to be judging everyone, possibly planning for if he decides he want's to make a run for it "Yes Sarah, the man before you is in fact judging you" Hastur said into Sarah's mind "Just hope your skill and reflexes can match his luck" He continued, hoping to prepare Sarah for what may or may not happen eventually. Little to her knowledge however, Hastur could project his power through Sarah. Something that he's seen go two ways before.

Svaboda

Svaboda looked around at the Elves and the diamonds with surprise and wonder on his face "Such curious creatures...and so many diamonds" He looked at the elves once more, fair creatures with pointy ears and tall, slender bodies. They looked human but at the same time, so alien. It was like a product of the Zone but in a good way. He looked at the Golem and smiled "Where do we rest?" He asked her with a raised eyebrow before looking around at the Elven village once again in complete awe. He was used to inhospitable landscapes which were awe inducing in their own way.

[Contamenesia]

Crowe

Crowe hugged her. "I already knew of your other bodies. you and i arent so different. I'm a Bard, the first in fact. but this isnt my only face. i have an infinite amount of faces and bodies, each with their own body, memories, and personalities. But they are all also, simultaniously me, and I them. Fauna is also me, as are all of the great Bards. just as i am them. We dont simply just share magic, we are magic. it is all one force, one..."being". We all have different bodies, different minds, different personalitires and even different memories. But we are still the same magic. We dont communicate like you do, but we are aware of each other." he then lifted up her chin, "But one thing i do know is that while you may be a peice of something else, you are still you. there is a you that is not 'them'. this is true for all your bodies, as it is for mine. you may have not have noticed, but i can help with that." suddenly he kissed her, and held it for a long moment before pulling away. "I cannot stop Elizabeth from killing you. i will not lie to you about that. but i will help you, and stay by your side until the end, if that is what you desire...."

Gabriel

Gabriel Chuckled, "No need, i can find her on my own. And yes, you look like you just walked out of a hospital, still in need of hospitalized care." he then smirked, suddenly he pulled out a knife, wrapped in a cloth, but the blade was visible, it was Elizabeth's blade. "You know, for someone counted among us thieves, you leave your pockets pretty wide open..." he pulled it away when she tried to grab for it. "This knife is such a strange thing. i can tell that touching it is a bad idea, which is why i have the cloth, and more than that, it seems bonded to you. if i tried to take it away, it would bore its way back to you...violently." Suddenly he tossed it back to her. "If i had to really guess its name, as i dont know it, would it be..."Severance?"..."

Elynia

Elynia calmed down, so they werent psychopaths...Elynia ignored the comment about the other Alvaranians. that was just confirmation that she was in the right group. She thanked the boy who had held her hand, (she also pulled her hand free from his grasp, but gently.) she then hugged the red-skinned woman who had also come to comfort her. it was then that she whispered into the woman's ears in a tone that only the red-skinned woman could here, "My name is Elynia...introduce me to your friends...and..make sure they dont hurt me...please." Elynia knew she would comply, her voice augmented with powerful coercion, if any one did manage to here what she said, they would be affected as well.

Kyuubi couldnt help but feel like she recognized the Alvaranian who was found freezing at the doorstep, yet she just couldnt put her finger on it, she shook her head, dismissing it for now, "Will someon go get Wasp to come back? i can tell not many of you trust him, but if we are going to follow through are plans, we will need him...He's the only one of us that knows his kind well enough for it to mean anything..." Suddenly Cyrssa spoke up, though her tone was slightly bitter, but only just barely. "I'll go get him, i want to have a few words with him anyways..." there was a flash of anger on her face, but Cyrssa hid it quickly, Kyuubi simply nodded and Cyrssa dashed out of the house, after Wasp.

Wolf

Wolf appeared before Wasp, fully armored, as usual. "I couldnt belive my ears Wasp...you disobeying orders? You know what this means..." Wolf clenched his fist. Wasp grimaced. It was annoying to stare at Wasp,if you looked away or closed your eyes for even a fraction of a second, one would completely forget what he looked like. "Sorry Wolf, but i'm not going back just yet. The King has my wife! i thought she was dead! The King...She WILL answer for this!" he declared. Wolf took a step forward. "I cannot allow that, Wasp. A traitor like you must be brought back for reconditioning, immediately. You are coming with me, even if i have to beat you into submission first."

Suddenly an out of Breath Alvaranian girl caught up with them. "Wasp? What is going on here?" she asked. "Stand back, Cyrssa! things are about to get ugly. Remove your armor, Wolf. You cannot best me nor i you whilst we wear our armor..." Wolf chuckled. "A bit cocky for an Assassin, you forget, i defeated all the assassins in our organization at once, what makes you think you'll fair any better?" he said coldy. Wasp scoffed, "Because, I'm the best damn killer Existence has to Offer..."

Cyrssa

Cyrssa was shocked by what was happening before her...two Ahmarhan were about to fight each other...Cyrssa activated her armor and drew her pistol. She didnt like either of them, but knew she should probably help Wasp. She took aim, ready to fire at Wolf. It was at that moment the two Ahmarhan removed their armors and that is when she stopped...""No! I-It can't be...You?!" right before her, standing in Wolf's armor....was Tak.

Wasp

As soon as Wolf took down his armor, Wasp activated his ability, but Wolf was faster, "Nulify! Blank Slate!" Wasp suddenly felt that he was no longer able to use his ability for the duration of this fight. Guess this meant a melee fight, no problem...he striked faster thanany eye could percieve, but Wolf kept pace with him, blocking him blow for blow, though into turn, Wasp did the same. each of their strikes were percise and meant to kill, sloud shockwaves could be heard and felt each time they collided. As they ttok a brief intermission to collect themselves, Cyrssa suddenly jumped in between them., her arms spread apart. "Tak! please! Stop this!! i thought you were dead! It's me...Cyrssa..." she cried out, her voice shaking and tears falling from her cheeks. Suddenly Wolf had her by the throat, "Of course i recognize you Cyrssa. Your the the bug currently in my way, Nullify, energy." Suddenly her armor depowered and he socked her in the gut, an impact that could be heard, and it didnt sound good. He then threw her to The ground and was about to dispose of her, when Wasp intervened with a series of fierce attacks that forced Wolf to take a step back. "Leave her alone Wolf, your fight is with me..." Wolf shrugged uncaringly, "As you wish, she is not worth our notice." And thus their fight resumed. Wasp began to use the powers of those he had he had slain, whilst Wolf began to use more and more of his nullification abilities, making the fight more and more of a struggle, meanwhile a wounded and broken Cyrssa calls out weakly.."....Tak...."

Tenzou's hotel

Alzis didn't fight back Crowe's hug, if anything she return it back as she listened to him expanding the similarity between her and the bards. "Trust me bard, communicating with your other selves is a mix blessing. Right now I wish I couldn't because I'm just getting an endless strings of bad news one after the other." she murmured. Seeing how more servants of both the Archons and Daevas kept attacking and invading world's own by an increasingly weakening Fate. To make matters worse whatever mages she has left are reporting sightings of the creatures and spirits from Gnosis appearing in this multiverse as well.

When Crowe left her head up to look at her in the eyes she did the same, before she can ask him what he meant by helping her the bard kissed her. Alzis was surprised but soon closed her eyes and return the kiss and stayed like that until he pulled back. Alzis was both not surprised and saddened to hear that Crowe couldn't change her fate but felt touched that he was willing to stay with her till the end. "I wonder if you give this offer to everyone woman who you meet or if I'm a special occasion?" she said with a weak chuckle. "If you want to stay with me till the end then do so, but I want your help with how make my notice how this body is different from the rest."

Alzis still head her arms around Crowe and her face lean in close but not close enough to kiss him. Alzis doesn't know what to call her relationship with the bard, it isn't love but it's something to can probably turn into it, she knows that whatever relationship she has with most people is not the same as with Crowe.

However there moment was soon ruined when Alzis since both the two Ahmarhan and two elder goddesses from outside. “I think we better save our moment for later. It looks like the Ahmarhan want to make our quest even more difficult.”

Tessy gently hug the Alvaranian woman back, seeing that Elynia was going to be okay the Moon Sisters left the room with a smile. When Elynia whispered to Tessy she obeyed the commanded. "Sure dear and don't worry I'm sure none of them will hurt you." Tessy whispered back. Of course she knew that most of the people in the room weren't her friend since she met them and she honestly can't even say that one or two of them will not try to harm her, but Tessy will make sure no one will harm the poor scared Alvaranian.

Tessy helped Elynia get on her feet and lead her back to the others, once she reached the dining room she found that Was was missing which she was extremely glad for and saw that both Elizabeth and Alice were now in their human forms. "That's good, I don't need Elynia freaking out over their appearance." she turned to Elynia and began to introduce the people she considered to be friends. "The two Alvaranians are Cryssa and Tandem. Cyrssa is my adopted niece and Tandem is a recent friend but he is a nice guy." she than turned to Adwith. "The scared boy is called Adwith and while he can be... troublesome, he usually means well. But he has trouble when it comes to technology."

she turned to Kyne. "The woman with the horns is called Kyne. She's normally quiet but she is a good friend to my family. the young girl over there is Fauna and you don't have to worry about her being a threat, she is a sweet heart." Tessy remembered the one time Fauna shown her dark side but she knew that mentioning that to Eyina is a terrible idea. Tessy turn her attention to Elizabeth and Alice. "The pale one is my girlfriend Elizabeth and the long haired girl is her cousin Alice." Tessy soon introduced the others to Elynia, she took a deep breath after she was done since there were a lot of people in the room.

Tessy soon saw the maiden mention about Wasp not being here and Cyrssa bitterly said that she will find him, Cyrssa has every reason to hate the man, infact Tessy hates him to, but hearing how bitter Cyrssa sounded hurt Tessy a bit. She never wanted to hear her niece by that bitter towards anyone. Elizabeth on the mean time was trying to get her knife from Gabriel "Would you believe me if I told you that I was born pale? Got it from my mother along with my hair color." she explained as she continue to get her knife back.

Of course Elizabeth didn't want to explain to him why she looked sickly, skinny and tired. What is she suppose to say? That she was both an insomniac who suffers from vivid nightmares. Gets so caught up with messing around with the occult and paranormal that she forgets to eat and one of the reasons she stayed pale was because most paranormal activity becomes active during night? It was obvious that Elizabeth doesn't think like most people but she wasn't in the habit of announcing that she was insane or had issues that would require years of therapy.

Elizabeth was broken free from her musing when the theif throw the knife back at her, she hide her surprise when he guessed the name correctly. "In a way you are right. The knife itself doesn't have a name, Severance is the name of the curse that is attached to the knife." Elizabeth examined her knife with her new senses. "These old girl as a long, bloody and twisted tale. This thing as seen more hunting trips, battlefields, torture chambers, human and animal sacrifices, murders and dark rites than anyone back home. This thing as severed the ties of life from so many people that it became imbued with the very concept of Severance, thous the curse was born." Elizabeth explained.

Tandem and the Moon Sisters were listening along with Tessy. "The knife is sentient, it chooses who can touch it. So far it seems to like my family since most people who had it could be connected to my family tree, so this ghastly little relic sort of counts as a family heirloom. It has been used by people who have no relations to my family, fuck there was a rumor that this thing was once used by Jack the Ripper during one of his killings. I can't tell you if that one was true or not but I do know that the Nazis stole it from my family and we stole it back from them." Elizabeth finished her tale, the people listening to her story now left wondering how many other objects that she has carried with them their own dark backstory.

"Do all of your items have dark backstories like that and do you have a fetish on finding them? Artemis asked. Elizabeth turned to the younger sister, grinning as she held her tie. "Well the dark and edge story with this tie is that it was created by three goddesses who have trouble convincing one man to let them leave a world." the sisters sighed in annoyance over what Elizabeth said. The occultist didn't miss the sign that Tessy was upset by something so she went to her and wrapped her arms around Tessy from her side, similar to how Tessy did the same after she and Kyne had their fight back when they were preparing Tak's funeral.

Elizabeth was about to say something to try and cheer Tessy up but soon she felt both Wasp and Wolf's power, her expression changed to horror when she realize that Cyrssa was out there with them. Letting go of Tessy Elizabeth changed back to her god form. "We have an Ahmarhan outside! Most likely they are here to kidnap the one on our team and Cryssa is caught in the middle of their battle." The sisters sensed the powers and they too were worried over the girls statues. Tessy and Tandem looked at Elizabeth with horror, Tessy broke into running so she can get Cyrssa before something terrible happened to her.

Tessy and Elizabeth were the first to reach out door and were stunned when they saw Tak off all people fighting Wasp. Tessy broke free from her stun induced paralyze when she saw Cyrssa. Screaming out her name Tessy rush over to her niece. Tessy gingerly turn Cryssa to her back and held her shoulder to lift her top body slightly off the ground. Tessy checked on Cryssa and can tell that she was hurt badly, tears were welling up in her eyes. "Cyrssa what happened!" she didn't want to think that either Wasp or worse Tak hurt her.

Elizabeth let out a loud screech as she changed into her arachne form. The left side of her human body began to bulge and throb, by the time Tandem, Alice and the others got out they all saw the right side of her human body explode into a shower of blood, broken exoskeleton parts and a few bone shards and organs. From the exploded side Elizabeth sprout thrashing razor-tipped tentacles, her mouth changed into six mandibles, each having small serrated teeth and from the mandibles highly corrosive acid saliva drool down to the ground, burning everything that made contact with it.

Tandem, being used to gory sights like that was only slight off putted by what he saw while Alice looked somewhat sick along with the Moon Sisters. He saw Cyrssa and rush over with the sisters following him. Once he reached her Tandem went down and cut his thumb with his blade. "Don't worry Cyrssa. My implants should be able to help you recover." he said as he moved the bleeding thumb over Cyrssa's mouth as the sisters tried to use whatever amount of magic they can muster to heal Cyrssa.

Alice changed her form to resemble the four legged, eight armed, three headed biomechanical being once more and moved in front of the group around Cryssa. Elizabeth fired off her tentacles and from her left arms venomous thorns grew from her hands and she too fired them like machine gun bullets at Tak. Elizabeth didn't want to attack him but she can't let him take Wasp and there is the high likelihood that he was the one to attack Cyrssa.

???

In a world that was once the home world of Fourth Great and Bountiful Human Empire, an empire that had magnificent megacities cover their world, five artificial moons and whose influence spread across a million planets and a million species, sadly this empire was erased. The Daevas and the rest of Inferno invaded the world and while the empire put a valiantly fight it ultimately was brought low by the magic and supernatural powers at Inferno's disposal.

As the Daevas met with each other more of the force of the underworld began to spread across the universe, slaughtering everything in their path and turning the universe into a hell dimension. The colossal and dark form of Thagirion was surrounded by other colossal beings that were the other Daevas. "Brothers and sisters. It is no secret that most of us plot and conspire against each other to gain power but due to recent events we can no longer behave as we normally do." spoke the Daeva known as Thamiel, a being made of pure darkness with three white eyes.

"In a rare moment I will have to agree with Thamiel. The illusion that we all sought to control is no more and worse humanity in there as regain their divinity. As such we can not stay in the Cassandran Multiverse without risking our total destruction by their hands. As such we must work together to survive." Thagirion stated. A massive, skinless, blood drenched woman with membranous wings and a gaping her in her abdomen spoke. "So what is the point of us even attacking this pitiful multiverse if Ragnarok is now impossible?" The Daeva Sathariel asked, saying the one question that has been plaguing most of the Daevas minds ever since the illusion fell.

The Colossal serpentine abomination answered the bloody mistress's question. "Our plans for Ragnarok can still be salvaged. The Archons still live and we can still claim domain of worlds in this multiverse as we have found proof that the Ahmarhan have little care for what we do to this place." Samuel concluded. The other Daevas talked more on what to do, ironically their counterparts the Archons are doing the very same thing as them, talking about their future now that the illusion is gone. Both parties have decided that the Cassandran Multiverse is too dangerous for them and as such they have no choice but to stay in this one.

As both deities talked about the future more of their forces spread throughout the multiverse like a cancer, appearing in worlds that were not connected to the Rokuo, worlds belonging to the now weaken Fates, world's own by the deceased Maju now owned by Nixa, world's held by the now leaderless Order of St. Luminia. Not even worlds under the gentle hands of the Grandmaster or under the topaz fist of the IGSE were safe from the divine and demonic hordes, each ones wanting to reshape and rule their worlds under their master's visions. Yet they aren't the only ones from the former Gnosis verse causing trouble.

Other supernatural creatures that use to call the Gnosis verse also found their way into the multiverse either by accident or by following another creature that decided to make this multiverse home. In truth half of the supernatural populate chose to stay in the Cassandran Multiverse when it fell but the monsters that fled to a new multiverse feared the vengeance of their former prey and like some of the gods are now hiding from them. Unlike the servants of the Archons and Daevas these creatures still value subtlety and stealth, blending in or hiding in worlds where most people don't suspect their existence.

Inalbo

In the market places of Inalbo a woman wearing a white hooded cloak with red edges. The only visible features from the woman were long bangs of dark hair, pale skin hands that occasionally left the cloak and half her face, showing her sharp features. The woman continued to walk by many of the ships, taverns and stalls ignoring everyone until she finally stopped and turn to a small tent at her right. The tent was purple in color and had astrological signs in bold yellow coloring on it.

The woman stepped inside the tent and found a man wearing tattered, dirty robes. His skin was a pallor grey color, he looked almost like a corpse. His teeth were loose and yellowed and his gums rotten black, the man had no eyes and where they should be was nothing more but smooth skin. The rest of his body was deformed. Around the man was several shelves with strange arcane items on them ranging from books, jars contained pressurized creatures, strange plants and artifacts that obviously don't belong to Inalbo.

The room smelled of a strange aroma and candles were lit to act as a source of illumination, the fires having an eerie light blue color. "Ahhh, a customer. I can sense that you are here specifically to find me right?" the man said in a raspy and hoarse voice. "Oh really? I came here to find another blind oracle in this world." the woman responded back. The man instead of finding offense to her responses only laughed. "I can tell that your mouth makes you both an interesting but infuriating woman to be around." he chuckled. The woman finally got to the point of her visit.

"I came to you for help on finding a person. A woman who is like me." she explained. "So you wish to use my powers to help you find a person? I rarely get people asking for such a request. Most of the times I'm often asked about the future. Mostly about love, money, promotions, death, health and other trivial matters that most people fret about. In some of the more interesting cases I get asked about peering into the past to uncover events that have happened before. But you decided to ask me something I haven't been asked to do for a long time." The man informed the woman, causing her to ask if he can do it.

The man smiled at her. "I may not have eyes woman but I can see far more than most people. For example, I can see what you truly are, old one." the woman seem to have grimace a little with the realize that the old oracle before her knows what she is. "I take it you want me to impart you some of the grand old secrets of the universe? Seriously most mages are a broken record at times." the man cackled once more. "The offer is tempting but I know for a fact that some secrets are such because knowing them has dreadful consequence. No what I want if for you to pay me for my services. But instead of money I want a new addition to my collection over there." he pointed at his shelf with the arcane items.

"You are willing to depart with an mere elder trinket if this woman is important to you yes?" The woman didn't responded back to the man. Instead she materializes a black and purple book and let's it float on to the shelf. "Thank you. I will begin to find the woman whom you seek. Oh, before you ask me how can I know who I should look for I can see into your memories. The woman whom you seek was a child when you last saw her and you are correct to assume that she is now a woman assuming she is still alive." The blind oracle felt a menacing aura come from the woman when he throw out the possibility of the person she is looking for being dead.

As he was performing his scrying with his crystal ball he soon began to receive visions from his mind's eyes. "I apologize on what I said about the woman being dead, she is very much alive. However right now she is in a place that my powers can not perceive. I'm confused by this since this is something I have never experienced before." The woman obviously didn't like the news. "However I can tell you of a world that she had previously entered before she departed to the one I can not see. There two worlds infact. One is a arid world that was merged with one inhabited by fairies and the other was a Oriental restaurant." The woman thanked the man and turn around to leave.

"Before you leave I have to ask, do you think it's a wise move to meet this woman now? The last time you two saw each other..." the oracle never had a chance to finish before the woman interrupted him. "I know what happened Oracle. But I still wish to meet her. Just as Elizabeth missed me I missed her so much." the woman finished before leaving the tent. The oracle laughed. "For your sake I hope you find your Elizabeth, because I can see turbulent times coming for the two of you." the oracle began to cackle even more as his orb showed quick events of the future.

The woman once more walked through the marketplace, with her mission down she no longer had a reason to stay in this world. Just as she walked into a large crowd the woman vanished instantly, yet no one noticed the disappearance of the woman. The woman appeared in the same section of the Labyrinth that Elizabeth went through to get into the Arid World, however when she encountered the Zoleth pack most of them ignored her as they can sense that attacking her would be unwise of them.

Eventually she reached the same door that Elizabeth used and once she opened it enter the very same shelter she was in. Once she was sure that the Labyrinth was no longer behind her she walked up to the door and opened the door and walked out of the shelter, taking her first sights of the world that she entered.

[Contamenesia]

Gabriel

Gabriel chuckled, "You mean her killing sprees right? Jack the Ripper is a woman. Great in bed, but definitely a bit of a yandere...And of course, Jack wasnt her real name. that was simply the name given to her by the scotland yard. Noone ever suspected it was a woman...." he said with a smirk. Gabriel had travelled through tim before, they all great adventures.

When he heard and felt the fighting from outside, he decided to investigate, but keep his distance. Only an idiot would charge into a fight like that...especially with the bad feeling he was getting from it.

Wolf

Wolf punched Wasp brutally in gut, and slammed him into the ground after punching him in the face once more. However more gnats showed up and began to try and interfere. he blocked all of the thorn projectiles, then reformed his armor, blocking the tentacles, after which he crushed them. It was now to others that he revealed himself to be Wolf, as he had returned to beng fully armored, however, he removed once more and suddenly appeared in front of Alice, "Nullify: Magic!" the spicifically targetted Alice for this, and as he stripped her of all magic, he socked her with an uppercut to the chin, that impact could also be heard. He then turned to Elizabeth "Nullify: Strength, Nullify: Speed, Nullify: Endurance." he said consecutively. Then he bashed her head to the ground and was about to kill her when Wasp jumped back into the frey. Wolf and Wasp continued to clash, but it was obvious Wolf had the upper hand.

Cyrssa

Cyrssa's eyes looked distant. "....Tak..." she said weakly again. Tandem's blood wouldnt help so much, as her body's immune system would fight back against the bio implants. however it did help a small amount, as did the healing from the sisters. While she wasnt eactly on the brink of death, it was hard to tell because of the broken and distant look on her face. the pain didnt help either...

Kyuubi

Kyuubi recognized Wolf's energy as he dearmored... she ran outside to see him and Wasp fighting. What the hell was he doing? Kyuubi bit her lip, she knew she couldnt use her powers, she would be recognized immediately if she did that. However, she also knew niether Wolf nor Wasp recognized her, and to stop this, she could see only one option. She jumped in between Wasp and Wolf and yelled, "Stop! Please!" Wolf only responded with a punch to her face. Kyuubi knew she would have to fake it, so she made her body follow his fist, making it feel solid enough so he wouldnt suspect. the punch didnt hurt of course, but she knew she would have to fake pain. She fell to the ground, landing with an "oof!" for good measure. Silently, she sent orders to Wolf, commanding to stop and to leave. Wolf would know it was Kyuubi who sent the orders, but not that it was her who sent the orders. Only Wolf could see the orders, no one else, be it god or telepath, would see them. Wasp was panting hard, struggling to keep on his feet, he was definitely badly injured. Wolf suddenly stopped, and his armor refolded around him. "It seems i am to spare you for now...but dont think your safe. I will come back for you, for now, i seem to have more important things to deal with." And with that he vanished. All of his nullifications returned to normal, no longer nullified under his influence.

Jason

Jason sensed the fight, but by the time he had gotten to the group, Wolf had already left. The sight he saw before him was not a pretty one. he counted five people injured, an elf, the two mages, Wasp, and the young maiden who had been struck to the ground. "What the hell?" he asked.

[Naval Monte]

Alzis

Once Wolf left the world Alzis seem to have calm down. "It's strange. The Ahmarhan left without taking Wasp." Alzis pondered. Now that the battle was over she wonder what she and Crowe should do now. "So Crowe, I believe you were going to help me on making this body feel more unique when compared to the others." Once more both their faces were close.

---

Elizabeth

Elizabeth flinched when the tentacles were crushed, but they were already regenerating after the blow. When Wolf... No, Tak, hit Alice the arachne was about to throw up the corrosive acidic spit at Tak but she suddenly felt extremely weak and was bashed to the ground. If Elizabeth was still human when that attack hit she knew she would have been dead long before she hit the ground, like the tendrils the damage to her head was being repaired.

By the time she regained her strength Tak was already gone. Alice return back to her human form, rubbing her aching chin. Still in her Arachne form, Elizabeth walked up to Wasp and looked down at the man, in her form she is much taller than most humans. "Mind telling us why Tak, the lovable goofball who you killed, is working with your group and hurt Cyrssa?" she hissed out, the tentacles returning back her body as the exposed side began to heal itself.

Elizabeth remembered that the Ahmarhan recruit members from different multiverse and was hoping that the Tak they saw was a different one, one that has nothing to do with the one she met.

Tessy

Tessy felt helpless, she couldn't help her niece and her nephew, her light in the world, not only was alive but he hurt his own adopt sister and lost whatever personality made him who he was. "Please stay with us Cyrssa." Tessy weakly whimpered, tears now leaving her eyes. Tandem knew that her immune system was fighting against the implants but for him that was a good sign, it showed that Cyrssa was not in any danger of dying on them. The Moon Sisters still focused their energy on healing the young girl.


Kalameet

The black dragon known as Kalameet appeared in the restaurant, the stench of alcohol was lingering off his body. "Hell fuck nuggets. So how's your day, hopefully shitty as mines." the dragon slurred out, obviously drunk. "You know all I wanted was to see a little clash between gods during the end of a world and maybe turn a few people into monsters, but no one can't have nice things, especially when the Ahmarhan are around." the dragon yelled, releasing a shockwave that destroyed everything around him.

"Not only was a realm that I claim to was destroyed by them but half of those damn gods are now hiding like children because the freaking humans regain their godhood. Why the hell did they even blow that place to pieces anyway? It wasn't like they cared about the people in there for the start so why now did they suddenly feel like being the big damn heroes." Kalameet looked at the two men inside the restaurant.

"You know thanks to the Ahmarhan your demon problem is now permanent because their masters are now going to stay here for good now that their multiverse is a dangerous place for them to be in."

???

The white hooded woman can see a few guards approaching her location, but before they can reach her they saw her vanish into thin air. The woman was now following the same trail that Elizabeth walked on when she first came to this world. The woman had her eyes closed and saw the glimpse of the past, seeing every single movement Elizabeth made so she can know where the mage went to.

Eventually she saw the Inuu's residential house and saw a few flashes of Elizabeth not only going to the house but staying in there for the night. Once more the woman simply teleport her way to the house and appeared on the front door. She knocked on the door so the matriarch of the household can hear her.

"Um… yeah… sorry about the bounty, Dad", said Josiah, smiling sheepishly and picking at his thumbnail.

Tenzou smirked sardonically and looked over at the rest of the people who had gathered in the planning room which he had cleared out, particularly those who had received new bounties. The meeting was meant to be as secretive as possible, considering how the manifestation of untrustworthiness had reared its ugly head in the form of the conflict that had recently taken place below. Without saying a word, the Elf took out his smartphone and activated a holographic projection, revealing a bounty poster that elicited shocks from most, especially Josiah.

"You didn't ever tell me this!" objected Josiah.

"You never asked me", replied Tenzou, raising his eyebrows. "To be frank here, though, I didn't want to ruin your idealism by revealing too much about the true nature of things behind the scenes of our society; idealism, I feel, is something that's all too rare here. People here on Chphlyggnu have been conditioned to believe that thinking is evil and is something to be feared."

The boy shrugged.

"Do elaborate more", said Steiner, sitting on one of the two super-single beds in the room, sucking his pinky.

Tenzou smiled wryly and sat down at the desk in the room, pouring glasses of warm water for himself and for the rest.

"Chphlyggnu is run by twenty governments that each rule over massive chunks of territory on the numerous continents all over the planet", began the Elf. "They're constantly at war with each other, forming coalitions one day and reneging on them the next; however, they all agree on one thing; that if anybody were to slay the Majestic Vermin, the resulting furore would be detrimental to all twenty, considering how the planet would be opened up, allowing more beings from outside to enter. As such, they have come up with a bounty system.

"The point of the bounty system was allegedly to deter people from committing crimes, as the entire justice system is run not just by an international police force, but also by vigilantes and bounty hunters with autonomous armies that do not have to submit to the government. In reality, it is clear that they are deterring people from trying to kill Ogklrygma. As you can see, mafia bosses and drug traffickers get away extremely lightly, while I have three bounties that are all above the averages of the countries from which they originate."

Hiccup swallowed. "What are the ramifications of having these bounties?"

"Simple", said Tenzou. A bounty hunter or policeman who catches or kills a bounty holder will report to the authorities of the government which issued the bounty, and will receive the amount put forth in the poster by said government. If the target carries multiple bounties, every single government that posted a bounty on the poster is obliged to pay the bounty hunter the amount posted."

[Contamenesia]

Wasp

Wasp waved a hand to shoo her away. "Buzz off, if i hadnt interfered, he would have killed her. Before today, i have never seen Wolf without his armor. He almost never takes the damn thing off. He even defeated our entire Assassin's branch while armored, by himself. As for this 'Tak' fellow, well i've known Wolf long enough to know that he has always had his power, it was something he was born with. The gun-toting boy who i removed earlier obviously had no such abilities. he and Wolf are likely not the same person." he said emotionlessly. Despite the fact that one could not remember his face, if one stared just long enough before they forgot, they would notice the dead look in his eyes. The eyes of a man who had seen too much to ever be whole. Not the eyes of a ruthless cold hearted killer, but the eyes of a tattered man, to which not much remained but his sanity.

Cyrssa

Cyrssa closed her eyes and fell unconscious, it was a scary sight, but one could notice the slow, soft breaths that she made, a sign of her living.

Crowe

Crowe frowned, "Well whatever that was, it seems handled..." he then turned back to Alzis and smiled. "Well, it's best to start with the basics..." He kissed her again, pulling her close. "This body...focus, as you are the only one i'm kissing, not any of the others...just...feel it..." he said gently and he kissed her again. He began to slowly remove her shirt. "You arent just an extension of yourself...you are...you..."

Saya answered the door, holding her trusty mace behind her back, just in case there was any danger. She saw a rather odd woman, "Who are you and what is it that you want?" she said with a clear tone of caution in her voice.

[Naval Monte]

Tenzou's hotel

Elizabeth only hissed at the man when she told her to buzz off. She stared at him long enough to notice how his eyes looked as he told her about Wolf. "At least I can tell Cyrssa that she wasn't nearly killed by her resurrected adopted brother." she said, still staring at him to make sure what she was seeing was correct. One of the advantages in her current form as the fact that she can't blink so she can stare at Wasp's face for longer period of time. "I look into your eyes and I really thought I would end up seeing the familiar looks of a killer or monster, but instead all I see is a man who is broken." Elizabeth felt conflicted when once more she felt a tinge of sympathy to the man, the eyes on him were the same eyes she once had after she lost both her mother and Eden.

"Before I forget I want to saw how painful it is for to see your eyes. Staring at them is like looking into chapters of my life that I rather not think about. So while I don't trust you and I still dispise you at at least you will know that I once felt some ounce of pity and sympathy towards your being. Of course once I look away those feelings will be gone." she explained, leaving Wasp before she can say anything. As expected Elizabeth forgot about Wasp eyes and the conflicting feels she had about him vanished.

Alice looked over at Cyrssa and she, Tandem and Tessy at first were about to panic when they saw her close her eyes. But they soon calm down when they heard her breath softly, sighing in relief. Tessy carried Cyrssa off the guard. "I'm going to find a bedroom for Cyrssa to sleep in." Tessy murmured, feeling tired and drained after what just happened. She saw Elizabeth walked up to her and gave her lover a weak smile, glad that she wasn't hurt too badly. "Need help Tessy?" Elizabeth asked, Tessy shook her head. "No. I think I need some time by myself for a while." Tessy turn around and was walking back to the hotel, she stopped when she heard Elizabeth yell out.

"That wasn't Tak. That wasn't your nephew Tessy, he only look like him but Wasp told be that whoever that man was only looks like him, otherwise they are too different people." Elizabeth tried to assure. Elizabeth couldn't see Tessy's expression but she can at least hope that she offered some sort of solace to her. Tessy walked back to the hotel. "So what now Ellie?" Alice asked, her chin now fully healed. Elizabeth changed back into her human form. "You and Tandem go off to find supplies for your secret project, I'm going to find the elf in charge of this place." Alice agreed and went to Tandem, after the two talked to each other for a while the two went off to town to find parts for their secret project.

The Moon Sisters walked up to Elizabeth. "That was incredibly stupid of you, fighting against an Ahmarhan like that." Elizabeth chuckled. "I do stupid in spades. But doing something stupid is better than just standing around with by thumb up my arse." Elizabeth and the sisters left the cold ground and went back to the hotel.

By the time both Elizabeth and the Moon Sisters entered the room they already missed the revelation of Tenzou having a bounty on his head, but they were able to catch the rest of how the governmental system works in this world. "Corruption in the halls of governments and it being connected to a powerful entity that has massive influence over the world, how very familiar." Elizabeth scoffed, it seems that no matter how much changes in her life something's always stay the same.

"So once we kill this vermin we also destroy all the governments of this world? I say nothing of value will be lost to your people. You all will be free from both it and those arrogant fuck ups. Though I should warn you that what going on out in this world isn't pretty at the moment. What with a demonic invasion and multiversal wars going on." Elizabeth would have kept that a secret but she had a feeling that Tenzou should know what is going on outside of his world before they kill the vermin.

When the bard kissed her once more she returned it back. Alzis listened to his instructions and focus all of her attention on what she was feeling with her body, pushing out the extra information she was getting from the others. When he began to remove her shirt she reach out to his and started doing the same. "You're not like most bards aren't you? I can feel that somehow you are different from them." she said as she took off his shirt.

???

The woman can sense that Saya was anxious around her, considering what she found on what is happening in this multiverse that is a good thing. The woman pulled down her hood and revealed her face. Saya at first would be surprised to see how the woman looks almost like her sister's lover but soon she will reveal that while they both have sharp features the woman before her had much longer hair and was less of a mess than Elizabeth, in fact her's was straight. Also instead of having green eyes the woman before her has grey and she was also taller than Elizabeth, she was also older than Elizabeth but was still in great shape.

"Hullo, my name is Alexandra Ashwood and I'm here looking for my daughter." the woman now known as Alexandra explained, speaking with a full Welsh accent instead of Elizabeth strange welsh/north England hybrid one. "You don't mind if I step inside? It's starting to get awfully chilly out here."

Crowe smirked, "Of course *jm a bit different, we each have our own personality, memory and way of life....that, and i think i might have a bit better understanding of what i am than they do...but enough about me, this is about you..." he said with a chuckle, finaly removing her shirt, and now working on the remainder of her clothes. He leaned in close and kissed her yet again....

Crow

Crow felt the arcane shockwaves released by the watchtowers, both he and Freyja can hear and see from the holographic projections within the greek city as many news stations announced by the strange phenomenon. "You know what is the source of that shockwave, don't you." Freyja whispered so no one else will hear her. "Yes. It came from the Watchtowers that you and your former boss were missing with. The towers can tell that their makers have return and responded in kind. You can say that they were celebrating their return." Freyja looked at him angrily.

Crow sighed. "Listen. The Fates are falling apart as we speak and if you want to live you have to leave them now." Crow warned, he knew that at this point this was his only chance to save Freyja's life. "I can't simply leave the Fates just because of that. They save me from being sold as a slave, I owe my life to them and Alzis." she replied back. "Alzis and The Fates only saved you because they saw value in your skills, once they no longer see a reason for you to work with them they will discard you." he responded back. Freyja sneered back at Crow. "Why do you feel like you can decide how my life should be!" Crow snapped back. "Because I knew your mother and she wouldn't want you to live like this."

Crow realized that he screwed up when he said those words. Freyja looked at him with surprise and took a few steps away from him. "Freyja listen to me. I..." but before he can speak the woman began to run away from him. Crow sighed and took off after her. He can catch her easily but he needs to wait until she was in a better state of mind before he can talk to her, she needs to know why he knows her mother.

[Kaidou]

An All-out Onslaught
The Maju Army VS The IGSE Army VS Four Grandmasters and the Japanese Fleet
全開の攻撃
マージュ聖軍 VS IGSEのアーミ VS 四先生そして日本の艦隊

Part I

Dimension 29
Shen Tang
Jiang Dynasty Grand Palace
Hall XXII

Four out of ten Grandmasters sat within Hall XXII, watching as the masked, robed man slowly walked down the aisle towards the dining hall where the four of them sat, eating dinner together.

"Master Lee, Master Law, Master Ouyang, and Master Ding… It is good to see that all of you are well, though I certainly cannot say the same for Master Ping Teck Siong."

Ding Hao slammed the table and stood up, facing the man directly.

"How dare you!"

The man laughed. "You should accept the fact that Master Ping is as good as dead. He is now in the hands of Kamiyasuo the Shinigami; there is no escaping from that madman. After all, the only reason why "Little Demon" Cuddasai Cuddasai is on the Black List is because Kamiyasuo singlehandedly killed the previous holder of Number 20 in just one minute. Do you think Master Ping, a second-rate Grandmaster, is able to stand up to him?"

"Enough!"

At this point in time, Ding Hao dissolved into water and charged through the air, before reappearing above the masked man and cutting off his head with a single, swift motion. The head rolled off the body and landed on the floor, where the mask shattered and revealed, to Ding's horror, the face of Harakiri Haikarakainen.

"What is this sorcery???"

Haikarakainen's head (or rather, whatever it was that was masquerading as the IGSE's former boss) laughed at Master Ding.

"You fool", said the head. "The armies of Nixa are approaching you, as are the armies of the IGSE, which intends to create a three way fight for Dimension 29. Be warned."

Just as the head finished speaking, an artillery shell crashed through the ceiling and landed right next to the dinner table, causing an explosion that sent the other three men at the table flying backwards with screams of shock.

"What was that???"

…



Though the outer walls still held (as did the missile and anti-aircraft weaponry), the palace of the Jiang Dynasty still took a massive amount of damage. Overhead, the outline of Iuzun's Kriegsbau-class warship could still be seen, along with a swarm of fighters entering the atmosphere and raining bullets and incendiaries on whatever they flew over. At the same time, all three of the Japanese flagship vessels entered the atmosphere, raining bolts on the IGSE planes that flew below.

While the dogfighting raged on above, drills emerged from the ground, allowing mercenary troops and Maju Army soldiers to charge out, towards the castle of the Jiang Dynasty, while the generals of the Dynasty fought back with artillery, cannons, and juggernaut tanks below. As a gigantic portion of the wall was felled by a battering ram brought by the Maju Army, a blast of green-tinted energy emerged and blasted the huge chunks of the wall backwards, into the ranks of the Maju Army. From the remaining clouds of smoke emerged the figure of Law Hon Chung, a smirk plastered over his oval, wrinkled face, both his palms pointing at the Maju Army.

Before any more of the troops were able to go after Law, a gigantic explosion of water emerged from behind the master, before the younger Master Ding Hao leapt upwards in his watery form like a geyser, forming a gigantic face in the air and spewing out a river of water upon the Maju Army's battalions.

At the same time, as Master Ding's water charged forward, more and more portals opened up and spread fire across the grassy plains. The smoke from the destruction rose into the sky, blotting out the sight of the IGSE's Kriegsbau and the three Japanese warships. From across the fiery portals, the dark figure of a man on a white horse rode across, before raising his hand and pointing at the Grand Palace.

"Summon: 9 Demons of Planuvell."

The next instant, black coils of smoke shot forth from the man's finger, charging straight for Master Ding and Master Law, both of whom did not detect the demons coming…

…

It was at that very moment that the nine demons attempting to tear the two Grandmasters apart were suddenly dispelled by a single fiery fist that flew past their trajectory. Master Ding turned his head briefly, facing the slightly hunched, white bearded Master Ouyang, his fist smoking and emitting a fiery glow. The old Master stood upright and smiled at Master Ding.

"Be careful", he said.

That same moment, the man jumped off the horse and pointed both his fingers at the three Grandmasters in the scene. Before he could accomplish anything, however, an arrow whizzed and struck him in the jugular vein, causing him to reel to the side and collapse onto the floor motionless. The body began to dissolve into black smoke as, from behind a covering of burning trees, Master Li Yu emerged, holding a bow. That moment, an entire horde of Maju Soldiers surrounded Master Li and pointed machine guns at him.

At that same moment, a Japanese Y-Wing fighter landed beside him. The moment the cockpit of the fighter opened, the figure of the one-eyed Fleet Admiral Mayumi Takada leapt out, whirling a dual lightsaber and slashing the Maju soldiers in a single, swift movement.

"Fleet Admiral Takada", said Li, "it would appear that the IGSE is sending a Kriegsbau to attack us."

"Affirmative", replied the one eyed woman. She hurled the double lightsaber, allowing it to slice through a number of Maju soldiers, before charging forward and seizing it, stepping on a Maju soldier's face and crushing his mask into splinters while she was at it.

"The Nobunaga is about to engage them in combat", said Takada, as more Y-Wing fighters began to swoop overhead, raining green laser bolts down on the Maju troops below. With little hesitation, she detached the lightsaber blades from each other before switching styles, fighting dual bladed.

"Ding Hao would be envious of these skills", she said jokingly, as both she and Li Yu charged into the fray.

"You're right", said Josiah to Elizabeth. "Some things don't seem to change. Then again… damn it. I forgot what I was going to say." He sheepishly looked at her and scratched his head. "Anyway, my name's Josiah, and it's nice to meet you!"

Steiner continued to stare at the projection from his bizarre sitting position on the bed, still sucking on the end of his pinky.

"The way I see it, we could utilise a bit of reverse psychology here", he said. "You see, while having high or multiple bounties would attract more bounty hunters, most of them would be put off by a ridiculously high bounty as they may see the bounty holder in question as being ridiculously powerful or insane to warrant such a bounty, ergo they would leave the one in question-"

"Of course that's possible", said Tenzou. "In fact, there are several instances of men who have bounties from every single country in the world, and even a number where the bounty had to be capped. However, to get to such a level, you need to be either extremely daring, extremely powerful, extremely influential, or completely and utterly insane. Take, for example…"

Felix yelped in shock at the long ladder of bounties following Danashili's name.

"She's that strong???"

Tenzou shrugged. "From the looks of those numbers, that's what you guys are up against. There's also the Rock Star you have to worry about, but he doesn't have a bounty yet as far as I know, so it may be hard to confirm his presence on this planet…"

The Japanese Restaurant

Hayashi crossed his legs and looked at Kalameet, while his companion in the dark suit and trench coat did the same.

"That would pose a great problem, indeed", said the man in the trench coat.

"Indeed", came Hayashi's reply. "Someone's gonna have to put things back to how they were."

[Naval Monte]

Restaurant

"You bloody fools, the only way you can make anything better is recreate the illusion and take away the Aeons divinity again, and the last one who did it was an Aeon who has long since died." Kalameet bawled out before puking on the floor. After he vomited he summoned a large glass and pour more beer to drink. "Of course having that idiot being dead wouldn't be a problem if he wrote down his secret but guess what his didn't and don't even bother asking the Archons because they forgot and his dark twin is also dead as well, I don't think I need to tell you on whether or not the Daevas remember the secret too."

The dragon of chaos soon began to chug his drink, drinking the glass inside of the actual beer wish turn into powder. The empty bottle turn into a metal straw and Kalameet snort the powder into his nose. "Have you ever snorted beer? It's fucking wonderful." Kalameet was losing his sense of balance as the dragon wobble where he stand.

Tenzou's hotel

"Elizabeth and don't worry I suffer from that sometimes as well." she teased at the boy, grinning ear to ear. When Steiner explained his plan and heard Tenzou's responses Elizabeth extended her arm and had the sleeve of her trench coat turn into thrashing serpents with bioluminescent eyes, spines on the back of their heads and small tentacles below them. "I think I can play the role of monster to attract our hunters into one spot." The moon sisters stepped away from Elizabeth.

Elizabeth saw the projection of the bounty hunter used as an example and whistle. "Sexy, dangerous and insane. My type of woman." Elizabeth chuckle, leaving a mystery if she actually meant what she said about Danashil. Elizabeth looked at the elf. "Just tell me which locations to strike in and I will gather a small team to paint the whole town red." Elizabeth still hated that the atmosphere of the world was weakening her now awaken powers but even in their weakened state Elizabeth felt charged. The former mage felt as though she was a new woman even though she was still the same person... being... whatever she is now.
-----

Tessy gently placed Cyrssa on a bed that she found and moved a chair close to the bed. The red skinned woman stroke Cryssa's hair as she watched her sleep peacefully. Alone Tessy was left to her thoughts, being haunted by flashbacks of Wolf/Tak fighting against Wasp, Elizabeth and Alice. How he hurt Cyrssa and didn't even feel a slight bit of remorse or regret for hurting his adopted sister, the very person who he was the closest too.

Tessy remember what Elizabeth told her about how Wolf and Tak are not the very same person but she still found it difficult to separate the two fully. "Tak, what happened to you. What made you so cold." she sniffed, her tears now down but her eyes were still red.

[Generailia]

Dennis

Dennis still had a extremely amused smile across his face when both Elizabeth and Alice began to scream. This of course caught the Lich's attention..but after seeing the rapidly changing form he quickly thought to himself. Yeaahh..I don't think that their human anymore. So I'll just be making my exit, since I'm really not in the mood for this bullshit right now. So the thief simply stood up and grabbed the horrified looking demoness who was uselessly covering her ears in an attempt to mute out at least some of that horrendous noise that was now both human and inhuman at the same time before proceeding to calmly make his exit. Since the undead had experienced far worse in the past he was quite numb to what was going on around him..and after going to one of the strange hotel's "sideyards" with the help of a random window a fair distance away from the strangeness in their "meeting room" he waited for a few seconds while his broken legs healed before rising and moving over to a nearby wall while the kitten regained her composure.

Thankfully, the strange girl was back to her usual self in little more then a second which gave him enough time to ask jokingly while his usual grin covered his face. "Soo, you alright kitten? It seemed as though you were starting to go deaf in there." The cat smiled before answering. "My hearing is fine but it seems that your finally learning to actually think things through. Since I was half expecting that to be another incident like the one that occurred after Felix suddenly lost his sanity." This caused the mage to shrug before responding. "Meh, I helped a friend and got to test out a new spell. Your just jealous that the only thing that you could do is control little gusts of wind." Then the adolescent smirked before saying as she crouched on the ground. "Well at least my 'little gusts of wind' kept me alive longer then your childish illusion magic." That of course caught the creature off guard, and after a short silence with a large smile across his face he burst out laughing. The reason for this is because it had been quite awhile since he could actually have a casual conversation with somebody. Then after awhile they began exchanging jokes and simply talking while doing their best to ignore the faint sounds that they heard from the gathering that was taking place behind them.

Adwith

Adwith was still a bit unnerved when they finally departed. Since the fact that thing he never saw before seemed familiar and whatever happened to him in that battlefield was..unnatural to say the very least. But he actually felt relieved for once when he heard a familiar voice comment. You know I did not take you for a looter of the dead soldier. Perhaps you are little more then a bandit and every hint of decent mannerisms that I noticed where what you used to bring in your victims? The Shienaran couldn't fight back the smile that came across his face. Since even though Leonel was mad..he was a insanity that the man was used to by now. Then as they continued their journey he responded jokingly. The man gave these to me as a present before death took him, you just seem to be unable to speak his language. Then the borderlander stopped for a second in surprise..since he was never was the type of person to joke about such a serious crime. But he quickly shook it off as the long dead aes sedai chuckled for a bit before going silent once more. But the mercenary was glad, since he could feel him somewhere within his own mind even if there was something or someone else lurking there as well.

Yet the sellsword couldn't help but brief a sigh of relief when he reached the paved pathway of the hotel's grounds. But this of course caused him to brief in some of the drying blood on his face and almost choke on it..thankfully he didn't and even had the chance to clean his face with the battered and burnt cloak before he met the strange man who reminded me more of Cyrssa and Tandem then anything else but when the figure showed them some strange but familiar projection of himself wearing a immensely strange outfit with his name and a couple odd symbols below he couldn't hide his surprise. This of course increased when their strange accusations along with his own bounty was shown which almost caused the guardsman to laugh. Since it would be his first time that he was ever hunted by anything other then the forces of the dark one himself. Then as the man talked his fingered the scavenged sword on his back as he thought. It has been awhile since I last practiced..perhaps now is a good time? Then he quickly left immediately after hearing Elizabeth's comment which caused him to grin slightly just as he turned the corner where he was met with the familiar figures of the thief and the girl who seemed to be casually insulting each other. Sadly, he was thought to have been an enemy which caused him to be picked up and slammed to the ground. Which still hurt besides his armor..and somehow didn't cause his new sword to slip out of it's scabbard. This of course was something that he was immensely thankful for as he rose in a way that made his face completely visible to the people in front of him.

Aeris

Aeris was still a bit paranoid due to the insane amount of power that suddenly appeared in two people who both herself and her senses claimed as being completely normal human mages up to the point that the change along with the deafening scream occurred. So it was no surprise to the demonic feline or her summoner when she picked up the poor soldier and slammed him onto the floor. But when she noticed it was an "ally" she simply sighed as a thought entered her mind. I have to calm down, since I can not let beings as powerful as them sense my fear. Otherwise they would without a doubt use it against me. Then the cat quickly stated after casually tossing the guardsman into the air at such a angle that the man would land on his feet as she stated. "I suggest that you do not sneak up on me in the future. Since the consequence for your carelessness might be a bit more..severe..next time." The young man gave her a furious glare before he began to dust himself off just as she sensed the sudden emergence of a being holding unspeakable power. Which caused her expression to become that of complete fear and astonishment before she quickly covered it up and thought. I have to keep these fools distracted..since they do not stand a change against whatever creature holds that much power. So she did just yet and when it finally disappeared she decided to wait for a bit before following some of the sources of power back into the hotel.

Aeris was still a bit unnerved when she finally reached the door that held the most powers behind it and when her summoner attempt to enter as she eavesdropped on their plan she quickly threw him across the room and out the window that they entered though. But when the soldier seemed intent on doing the same the demoness simply decided to let him..since the soldier was not her concern. Then after her short time eavesdropping rewarded her when the silence after the mage gave her just enough time to enter without disturbing the meeting the girl suddenly opened the doors and announced in a manner fit more for the undead thief then herself. "I do apologize for being so late, but if you would please inform me on any important information that I would need to know I would greatly appreciate it." Then the adolescent demon quickly found a nearby wall and down before leaning her back against it just as the strange soldier closed the door and stood next to the thing in a rather intimidating manner that made the fact that he was hear to guard and not discuss perfectly obvious. Such a thing made her usual smile reappear as she tried to keep her eyes off of the four goddesses and instead on the elf as she patiently waited for something to be said while wondering if her entrance was a bit..overthetop.

Tenzou's Hotel

Elizabeth turned to the young demoness, her new senses making Elizabeth clearly see her true form, but Elizabeth force herself to see Aeris in the form she wanted the others to see. Giving her the same Cheshire smile that she normally has plaster on her face Elizabeth spoke to the demon. "I always thought you were the cold and quiet type, it seems skeletor is rubbing off on you kitten. As for plans well the government is corrupt as hell and is actively trying to make sure no one kills the vermin because once it's gone so is them. So right now our plan is to rack up a huge bounty to get all the bounty hunters in one spot so we can take them out.
-----

*Fades back in*

Back in the room where Crowe and Alzis were in not the bard helped the woman achieve what she wanted to know, however the results of their time together went far beyond what she was expecting. The greatest change was the fact that the woman who was now in the hotel was now longer just an extension of Alzis, she was now her own person. The woman now named Veira, meaning 'chained no more', can now live her own life and live pass Alzis's demise. As she put on her shirt she rubbed her stomach, a side effect of no longer being connected to Alzis was now she can have kids.

Veira smiled, feeling both joy and uncertainty over the prospect of having a family and living a life that has nothing to do with Alzis, the Fates and the Gnosis verse. "I wonder if Elizabeth is feeling the same way as I am. Both of us have been so used to living our previous, it's almost hard to imagine that chapter of our lives is over." Veira said. She was currently sitting on the bed in the room, the two of them cleaning each other up before getting dressed.

"I almost feel sorry for the cleaning people when they come to this one and see the mess we left behind for them." she teased at the bard. Veira moved to be next to him, leaning down and rested her head on his shoulder while wrapping her arms around Crowe's arm. Veira knew she was going to be sore for a while but she is willing to go through the soreness after what she been through. "Once we leave this room I'm gonna have to keep my act as being Alzis in front of the others, or at least those who won't be able to tell the change that happened to me. I don't want to ask any questions about my change since I don't want to share stories about my sex life." she chuckled, imagining on what sort of reactions she would get if she did share every detail of her change.

Yet the smile soon turn into a frown. "I had one last message from Alzis before I lost connection with them." she stated. "The Fates are taking heavy loss due to both their top members regaining their divinity and the demonic and angelic invasions. The former is a problem because most are going mad due to suddenly regaining their senses, knowledge and memories of past lives rushing into their heads. The Archons and Daevas, some of the gods that acted as the guardians of the illusion, have fled to this multiverse now that their home multiverse is dangerous for them to live in." she explained, it was obvious from her tone she didn't want to tell Crowe this but she had to let him know.

"Once more Iuzun, the new leader of the IGSE, is now planning on conquering the Multiverse." she moved her hand over Crowe's. "I think with our mad elder gods problem we should help them regain their sanity or at least some measure of it. We can have them deal with the Archons and Daevas, after all those two beings have been responsible for years of imprisonment and torment on them. Might as well let them have their revenge." Veira than told Crowe that some of the creatures from the new destroyed Gnosis verse have also snuck their way into the multiverse they are in, however unlike the servants of both the Archons and Daevas they aren't acting like invading armies, but as they normally act back in that universe.

Veira looked up at Crowe and kissed his cheek."It seems once this quest is down we are going to be thrust into a new one love." she whispered. Veira got up and while she did wince from the soreness from her hips she purposefully swayed them for Crowe to see as she unlocked the door. "Let's meet up with the others before they start to form a search party for us."

Alice and Tandem

Both Alice and Tandem were now walking in the streets of the harbor town, the very same one that had most of their fighters gain bounties on their heads. Tandem can tell that Alice was bothered by what happened back at the hotel. "Alice if something is bothering you just talk me, please. I want to help you." he asked gently. Alice stopped and Tandem moved around so he was in front of her.

"Back in that fight, when I lost all of my magic, it made me realize just how quickly my entire life just changed." she said. "First I met you and was sent to other universes where I met creatures and people that I would only think belong in fiction, the next thing I find that my cousin, who I love as a sister, as been keeping secrets from me and than to add all of it I was never human to begin with and my world and everything about it was a lie." Alice squeaked, tearing coming out from her eyes.

"I tried to stay strong but so much is happening and just now I was almost killed. I wanted to go on an adventure and now I'm finding myself regretting the idea." she screamed out, covering her eyes as she began to cry. "I don't think I can handle all of this." she cried out. Tandem felt a jab in his heart as he saw her cry, a girl who is usually energetic and perky like Alice shouldn't be crying.

Tandem walked forward and gently hugged the girl, letting her cry on him. "I know how you feel Alice. I too wanted to experience an adventure of a life time and ended up getting more than I bargain for. But I still keep on going because not only do I love travelling to different world I also love meeting new people and seeing different cultures." he moved his finger under her chin and gently moved her head up to look at him, he used his thumb to wipe away her tears. "A wise and looney women once told me, it's always the darkest before the dawn." Alice laughed, she remember the time she used that line and Tandem immediately pointed it out that she took it from the Dark Knight.

"Just think of it as this. Your dream of dealing with the paranormal and the occult as finally come true. Maybe not in the way you wanted it to be but most people rarely have a chance to live out their dreams. So enjoy it Alice and don't let the bad parts get you down." Tandem smiled down at her. Hearing his words cheered her up. "Thanks Tandem, you're a true friend." she said, wrapping her arms around him.

Tandem moved the hand on Alice chin to touch her cheek, the two of them looking deeply into each other's eyes. Before the two of them can think they found themselves locking their lips together. The two were surprised but their sudden kiss, it took them a few minutes before they finally broke off the kiss and the hug. The air between them was awkward for a while, the two of them looking at everything but them. "I think that shop may have what we are looking for." Alice said out of the blue. Tandem looked at the shop and agreed with her. The two of them went to the shop and stepped inside.

"That is a rather risky plan", said Steiner, wiping his pinky on his sleeve, "but with the right manoeuvres, I think we should have a somewhat decent chance of pulling it off. I won't delve into the minute calculations of probability just yet, but for now, we could come up with a way to rack up an enormous bounty in a short amount of time. Attacking a policeman seems easy; Master Wong received a £70,000 bounty just from knocking one out with his bamboo pole."

"The problem", said Tenzou, "is that that would take a rather long time. There are only so many policemen in any given place, especially considering the number of former Ogsmeinahmān who take to bounty hunting is more than enough to take out newbies who attempt the Ogsmeina. A much faster way would be to declare that we are going to to kill Ogklrygma, and make it as obvious as possible. The authorities are searching for that sort of thing, and the bounties would immediately follow.

"Of course, you'll need to be reasonably powerful too, or any random bounty hunter could simply show up and blast your ship to smithereens. Let's not forget that General Danashili is on a mission on Nixa's behalf; she'd surely recognise at least a few of you, and would probably act accordingly."

"Who's got the highest bounty?" asked Hiccup.

Tenzou frowned and scratched his chin, clearly deep in thought.

"The mystery of the No. 1 bounty is something that has perturbed me and kept me awake a great number of nights", he said. "It is a mystery that nobody's ever been able to solve."

"What do you mean?"

Tenzou touched his smartphone screen, sifted through the holograms, and activated another one.

"This is insane!" exclaimed Hiccup, reeling backwards and sitting down heavily on Steiner's bed (causing the white haired boy to tip over and land on his side).

"There's even a bounty with scientific notation", remarked Steiner. "That country must have an extremely weak dollar."

"The thing is", asked Tenzou rhetorically, "what is "Masukur" ?"

The shop

The droopy eyed, obese shopkeeper perked up slightly the moment both Alice and Tandem entered.

"Yes?" he asked sleepily. "What do you need?"

"Weak is one way to put it kid. Though I would go with broken." Elizabeth commented as she lean on the wall, her arms folded as she looked at the projection. "Also I pretty sure none of you will get what I'm going to say but that guy looks like Palpatine so expect a lot of lightening, psychology and political manipulation, with some occasional goofy over the top behavior." the woman jested.

Soon the question of power came up and she can already listen down a few people in the team to do it. Elizabeth look down at her hand and had it change into a black, skinny, exoskeleton arm with many razor blades on it, strange tube like appendages going across it and three curved blades for fingers with a talon-like thumb. "The atmosphere of this world is starting to vex me. I recently gain, or should I say regain, some old powers that were stolen from me and yet I can't be sure how powerful I am because of that vermin's powers." Elizabeth examined her arm.

"At least I know that some of my powers still work here, even if they do take pages from Lovecraft." the arm changed back to normal. The wet, squishy and crushing sound of the arm changing echoing in the room. "I think the fighters who got themselves bounties should be the ones to draw the hunter's attention. After all, they already have enough to get some notice around the local underworld players."

The shop

Alice was the one to speak to the shopkeeper, charming him with her smile. "Me and my friend are looking for parts to make a few machines sir. We have a project that we wish to share to some investor and we came to your shop because we heard that yours sells wonderful items for everything a customer will ever look for." chirped Alice, knowing the art of deception and sweet talking thanks to Elizabeth.

Tandem look throughout the shop and was searching the shelves, occasionally finding items that catch his interest and placing them on a bag that he found in the store.
