Gabriel

Gabriel grinned his usual, crazy grin. "Now that sounds interesting! If you agree to take me along with such an adventure, I'll give you the jewel...." Suddenly Gabriel pulled out one of his automatic shotguns, and fired without looking, seemingly straight at Elizabeth, however the bullets flew past her and killed a rather large fish that was about to jump on her. It fell dead in the water. "Wow, didn't know that would happen, but that was cool wasn't it?" he said laughing.

Mantis

Mantis drew her Scythes. "I'll deal with them, it will only take a second. The way should be safe shortly," And with that, she turned and ran to the edge of the ship, preparing to leap from this ship to one of the others...

Elizabeth

Elizabeth gave herself a pat on the back, her silver tongue still work like a charm. Before she can speak Gabriel pulled out his shotgun and fired at her. Elizabeth was surprised but quickly remembered that in her new form the bullets wouldn't do much to her form, as such she didn't even try to dodge or defend herself from them. Yet when the bullets missed and the scent of blood met her nose she followed the path of the bullets and found the fish.

The woman didn't say anything and dove down, in a few seconds she came back with the fish. Elizabeth removed the bullets from it's body and healed the damages done to it along with removing any chemicals that the bullets may have had. "For once you did something for the group that wasn't headache inducing. You caught us tonight's dinner." she responded back, not answering back if it was cool or not. "As for your adventure you can join but under one condition. There might be a group of beings out there that me and them have history. I want you to not interfere our future meetings. It's a personal matter that I must deal with on my own." Gabriel can see it from her face and even hear her tone that Elizabeth was serious on this request.

He can feel that whatever history she and these mystery groups have was one of animosity. Elizabeth looked up. "Tell Hiccup that thief is willing to give us back the jewel." Veria smiled at the message and delivered it to Hiccup, telling him that their mission was over.

Madagascar III

Alice saw Mantis jumping off the boat with her scythe and zap the blade of the woman's weapon, yet she didn't electrocute Mantis. Instead the electricity stayed around the blade and improved the cutting power of the weapon. Alice turn the talons on her hands and feet into metal and landed down on a boat and began to claw and slash at the soldiers on board, taking their shots as her regeneration began to heal the damages down by the soldiers.

Tandem saw where Alice landed and focused his attention on the boat she was, taking out soldiers from the across with his rifle. The Moon Sisters set fire on the other ship the dual were ignoring. The patches of flames were random and they wouldn't cause the ship to sink but they were good enough to cause chaos on deck.

Gabriel

Gabriel shrugged, "i honestly couldn't care less about your personal troubles, lassy. Your business is your own." Suddenly he tossed the case to her. "There ya go, lassy. Good luck opening it though. i have a strong feeling that i'm the only one here who can open it. A little insurance on my part. Can't have you trying to double cross me, now can i?" he said with a wink. Proving he was craftier than he appeared, yet at the same time it also kind of felt like a happy accident on his part, as it was apparent that he didn't really plan all of this, but in fact it just all fell together miraculously and yet still in his favor....

Mantis

As Mantis landed on the ship, she immediately brought her scythe down upon it and used its power to make the ship start to fall apart atomically, it was completely harmless to the crew, though they would fall into the water as the ship broke down into nothingness right before their eyes. Mantis then hopped back to the other ship, "Done. Let's go now."

Jack the Stable

Jack slowly walked through the Hotel. He had never been here before, and its location was definitely the oddest he had ever seen, being out in the middle of nowhere between dimensions, but yeah, it definitely was a hotel. "Not surprising to find most if it so empty...though i do sense a few being here....hmm...wonder if there is a way to make a little money here...." he said casually to himself as he explored its halls.

Elizabeth

"Good so we both can agree that we will stay out of each others private affairs." Elizabeth caught the case with her free hand. Elizabeth wanted to test his little theory on him being the only one to open it but right now both her hands are full. "Whatever, I don't have time to test you little pet theory. Let's just get back to the boat before they reach land. I rather not have the locals see me as a multi winged harpy." Elizabeth began to fly up and soon flew towards where the boat would be.

"Why do I have a feeling that something terrible is happening while I was away." Elizabeth thought as the flew faster to the boat.

Alice

Both Alice and the Moon Sisters kept on hammering down the last ship with their respective spells while Tandem fired shot after shot at the soldiers still out on the deck. They knew that the have one now that two of the enemies ships have been destroyed, they just need to get the message through the thick skulls of their last opponent.

Madagascar III

With two ships down, the last remaining ship forced itself in front of the small steamer, unleashing barrage after barrage of cannonballs at the ship, most of which were either deflected by the stronger combatants or were buried in parts of the ship. The damage done was extensive, but not enough to sink the ship there and then.

The captain of the ship, a burly, hairy man in his early thirties, emerged from below the deck of the last remaining warship, wielding a massive GPMG and aiming it directly at Steiner.

"Die, you pirate scum!"

He was promptly clobbered over the head by Master Wong, who had somehow appeared behind him. The few remaining soldiers on that last warship all trained their guns on Wong, who smiled and whirled his bamboo pole by his side, while waiting for the captain's response. The gigantic man moaned in pain, rubbing his shiny, bald head and slowly turning around to face the one who had dealt him the offending blow to the head.

"Who are you???"

He couldn't ask any more, for at that very moment, a blue bolt of fire struck the side of the warship as the figure of Toothless soared across the sky. Amidst the smoke and the fire, Master Wong leapt upwards, somersaulting in the air, and landing on one of the yardarms of the Madagascar III, just as the others around him were either incinerated or were sent flying into the air with genuine shrieks of terror. The lurching water below, formerly terrifying, had become surprisingly calm. The sun had begun its steady ascent into the sky from the horizon.

With a graceful thrust, the Night Fury landed on the deck of the Madagascar III, his geriatric amputee rider dismounting almost immediately afterwards. Smiling, Hiccup extended his hand, silently offering Veira help in getting off Toothless' back.

"Elizabeth's got the Jewel", said Hiccup.

"Has she got that filthy pig Gabriel with her?" asked Henry, clearly getting extremely agitated by the very name he had mentioned. "I'm going to tear him inside out."

"Calm down, Henry", urged Hiccup. "He genuinely didn't see that he was putting us in danger by-"

"But he-"

"Enough", interrupted Steiner, raising his hand lazily, before bringing it towards his head, whereupon he began to twirl his long white locks. "Let's not get carried away by these useless discussions. First of all, let's either get to Lunemura as quickly as we can, or…"

"We already have the Jewel", said Henry. "I could open another Void Portal back to the Hotel right now."

"But we promised to help these guys clear up their political situation", objected Hiccup. "We can't just turn back on that now!"

"Technically, we didn't", said Steiner somewhat incredulously. "And besides, if you were to use a utilitarian line of thinking in deciding whether it would, in fact, be better…"

"We need to get that bastard Gabriel and skin him alive first!" screamed Henry, his jugular veins bulging and throbbing.

"Calm down", urged Master Wong incredulously.

"As with all things", said Master Lam, emerging from behind a mast, "why don't we vote? Who's in favour of going the whole hog and killing the Vermin, and who's in favour of leaving, now that we've got the Jewel?"

That same moment, before anybody had noticed, the golden figure of the other dragon had perched herself on one of the yardarms.

"I vote in favour of voting", she said, smiling. "Let's vote."

The Oceans of Chphlyggnu

As the gigantic body of the Vermin (or at least part of it) rose above the water, throwing the oceans into the air, the remaining 19 Governments of the world began to take action. As the war between the Lernek Republic and the Bijj Republic continued to rage on (with few others attempting to intervene), the collapse of a second Republic loomed in the ominous horizon of Chphlyggnu's forever clouded sky.

Millions of ships were dispatched into the oceans, all trying their best to contain the beast without killing it; it was in their best interests, after all, that Ogklrygma be kept alive. Most didn't exactly know why, but there were a few shadowy figures lurking in the darkness of politics (both national and corporate) who were rumoured to have answers.

Amidst the chaos, the forces of General Danashili, the fearsome Second-in-Command of Nixa, continued to charge across the ocean, looting, pillaging, blasting the Vermin occasionally, and generally creating a ruckus. Still, detailed analysis of their movements revealed that Danashili was, in fact, less haphazard than her movements suggested; on the contrary, it was almost as if there was something or someone she was looking for.

Someone.

…

"We've sighted a fleet belonging to the Bijj Republic, Lord Polgaparell!"

The intense black metal music slowly reached its climax, as the shadowy figure standing on the stage contorted his gigantically muscled body in a horrible, warped manner.

"♪ AND THE WORLD WILL BURN! THE WORLD WILL BURN! THE WORLD WILL BURN!!! AND YOU WILL BE FOREVER MY BITCHHHHH!!! NOW!! IS!!! THE!!! TIME!!! TO!!! SEPPUKUUUUUUUUUUU!!! SEX SEX SEX SEX SEX SEX SEX!!! ♪"

The moment the final note boomed throughout the massive ship (it was as large as a cruise ship, and would have looked like one if it weren't for the pentagrams and Illuminati eyes splashed all over the sides), the shadowy figure hurled its guitar across the room, where it struck a wall and shattered. The subordinate reeled backwards in shock, but otherwise maintained his composure.

"Attack them."

The bold order struck the subordinate even more than the smashed guitar could have.

"But Lord Polgaparell… This fleet is six times larger than any of the other fleets we've ever encountered. We only have one ship, and they seem to have almost 240. It would be…"

"Did you not hear me?"

The dark figure in the shadow became slightly illuminated by the sickly rays of light piercing through the window.

"We're doing it, you idiot! Who the hell do you think I am???"

"… Yes, sir!"

…

The Hotel

Ludwig smiled.

"It's more complicated than that", he said to Bonnie, as he continued shuffling on. "I would prefer not to explain it in great detail, lest too many hear about it. These walls have eyes and ears. You're a Bard, anyway; you'd know what's going to happen…"

…

"Akira Matsumoto is the current Commander-in-Chief of the Japanese Fleet", explained Miura to Father Christmas. "He's been sitting in his seat for ages now, and his hair is already beginning to turn white. Still, he seems to show no sign of wanting to retire or anything along those lines."

Father Christmas nodded and looked silently at the gigantic board, on which the names had been carved and embossed with gold leaf. It had been a very long time since he had last visited Dimension 44; the last time he did, it was a diplomatic visit as a leader of a paramilitary force. Yoshimaru Satō and Nanami Noguchi were both pleasant people, if a little bit stern. Noguchi was, in fact, one of the fiercest women he had ever met, putting Aumergil ("bless her soul, with all my heart.") to shame in that respect.

But now, both were gone. And now, it seemed that the current Commander-in-Chief wasn't about to let anybody get near the Shogun unnecessarily.

6 days left to get the Sceptre.

"We need to do something daring", said Father Christmas.

"What's that?" asked Yamashita.

"We're going to get Lord Matsumoto drunk."

Gabriel

Gabriel sighed, "well i guess we better head back," he said as he turned to the steering wheel of the boat. Jason rolled his eyes, "You won't get there fast enough, here, let do it..." Gabriel raised an eyebrow, curious of what the boy would do next, suddenly the boy lept up out of the boat and landed just behind it and began to push it whilst running atop the water. Gabriel caught his footing and couldnt beleive his eyes. This boy was a god! they were going so fast, that when gabriel peeked over, he saw that they werent even touching the water. Suddenly Jason jumped inside the boat and when the boat finally skidded to a stop, they were at the ship, which was under fire. "Well, Hell, kid how in the hell--" Jason suddenly interupted. "I was Calm. Now hurry up or you'll get blown out of the water by the other ship." Gabriel reluctantly nodded and leapt aboard the ship. He donned his usual crazy smile. "Howdy folks, need any help?"

Beetle

Beetle felt that this was going on long enough. he began catching the projectiles with his bare hands and throwing them back twenty times faster than the speed of which they had been fired. he could throw them faster, but decided he should keep casualties to a mininum. His throws did do quite the damage though.

Dragon

Dragon gritted her teeth as she sensed it, just before it occurred: from Jonjittu's prison a massive shock wave resounded along with the sound of the Time-Event chains straining. the effect could be felt all across existence. It wouldnt be long now, The Bane of All things was awakening....."Take formation!" she yelled to her troops, and they did as ordered. If they were to win this, they would have to beat him hard and fast immediately when he's freed. the quicker the better. Not only that, but they would, as always, have to give it their all....

Madagascar III

Tandem saw the blue bolt of fire from the dragon and the roar of the dragon made him missed his shot, a projectile from the ship almost hit him but before Tandem's very eyes a ripple in the fabric of reality appeared and the projectile vanished, reappearing and destroying the cannon it came from. Tandem heard something heavy fall on to the ship and saw the dead fish and soon covered his eyes as a strong gust of wind came down, with Elizabeth flapping her wings as she land down.

"Someone mentioned my name?" she said with giving everyone her grin. The sisters looked at the harpy that was now Elizabeth, they sense that Elizabeth got her due to bending time and space to make them push her into the location, they sensed the magic she use to make such a feat possible. They along with Elizabeth and Veria saw Henry arguing about killing Gabriel and how they were not down to a vote on whether to stay and kill the vermin or leave now.

Elizabeth looked flabbergasted at them. "Oh for fuck sakes." she slapped her face with her talon-like hands. Alice caused a large bolts of lightening to rain on the last ship and flew out, from the air she look down and saw Toothless and Elizabeth. Flying back down she caused a similar strong gust like Elizabeth as she land down. "Great mind think alike I suppose." she muttered as she saw her cousin in a form similar to her, only with different colors and with more scale-like armor instead of crystal armor.

The two women along with the others soon found Gabriel and Jason appear. "Not really, this mess is going to be over very soon." Elizabeth said as she move her hand away from her mouth. Elizabeth walked to where Beetle is and scratched the space in front of him, creating a wormhole in space. The other side of the wormhole showed the engine room. "Here's a clear target for you." she walked away from him, she was ticked that now they decided to try and kill the vermin when she and a few others were close by the creature.

Tandem looked at the giant fish. "So what's with the fish?" he asked with Elizabeth telling him that it was dinner. Veria thought it over and decided on what her answer is. "I vote that we leave now. We can return back and kill the vermin on a latter date, right now it's best we accomplish our mission first before this bane of existence wakes up and renders everything we have been doing worthless." The others were silent for a while until the Moon Sisters spoke.

"We have no idea who this woman is now since we know that isn't Alzis anymore but we agree with her. Normally we would stay and help these people but right now more important matters are at hand. The lives of other beings in the greater multiverse far outweighs those of this world." Both Alice and Tandem looked at each other, wondering if the other have the same thought. "I vote that we stay. These people have been locked in this world and have been ruled by both the vermin and their corrupt governments long enough." Alice flew slight up in the air. "They deserve to be free." Tandem too the spotlight to speak. "I agree with Alice. Killing the vermin now would free these people from both it and these government from their lives."

Elizabeth stayed silent as she heard the others, once it was her turn to speak she scratch the back of her feathery head. "Honestly the smart thing would be to leave this place now and never come back." both Alice and Tandem looked dismayed when they heard that, with the sisters somewhat agreeing with the mage but not liking the idea of ignoring the existence of this world while Veria gave the woman a neutral expression. "But Gabriel's dumbfuckery still has me in a sour mood so I say we kill the vermin just so I can relieve some stress." she told the others. She made both her cousin and her traveling partner glad that she sided with them but the reason she decided to side with them was an odd one. The sisters and Veria sighed and shook their heads. "Besides." Elizabeth continued. "Ever since I got this body not only as that damn vermin been making me sick but something inside has been telling me to destroy the bastard. Make sure his foul vapors will never taint this world ever again."

The others were rather surprised to hear them except for Alice who while she has been quiet about it does have the same feelings as Elizabeth, she was glad to know that she wasn't the only one feeling this way. Elizabeth looked around. "Where's Tessy and Cyrssa?" she asked. Alice pointed the door that lead down. "I suggest we bring those two up so they would know about the vote." Elizabeth said she would bring them up after Beetle destroyed the last ship.

Beetle

Beetle shrugged, Elizabeth's wormhole was completely unnecessary, by the time she had it even half way open, the ship was practically already beginning to sink. However, Beetle threw one in just to make her feel like she had actually done something significant. He wasnt sure how she would react to such a discouragement, still its not like her efforts did any harm to the objective, so it was okay in his book. It was then that he heard a familiar voice. "You?! Your that asshole who punched me through twenty rooms and a tree! I'm going to fucking kick your ass!" He turned to see that auburn-haired boy from before, when he was hunting down that criminal Alveranian....Gabriel, who was in front of the boy, turned to the boy, "So, kid, you know that armored fellow there?" "Jason i wouldnt advise that, the guy is a member of the Ahmarhan." warned Fauna the Bard. Jason laughed, "You act t like that means anything, I'll kick his ass..." However, much to Beetle's surprise, the boy seemed to pause for a moment. "Well, i guess fighting him here and now wouldn't be so great. Let's get to land first, then I'll kick his ass...."

Elynia

Elynia was alone with Tessy and the other Alveranian girl from the prison. the one who got rescued....stupid bitch. Why did they rescue her and not Elynia? Elynia had been silent for a long while. and Tessy was holding the bitch's hand with a strong look of worry....disgusting. Then an idea came to her head, and she knew exactly to start the series of events that would complete her objectives given to her by the scary woman.... She got up and walked over to Tessy. She tapped her shoulder to get her attention and then looked deep into her eyes.She whispered softly to Tessy, "Take this knife and Stab that bitch. the abdomen will do just fine. Then forget what you just did." Her vocal enhancers did their job. Tessy smiled, taking the kitchen knife and like a mindless drone, stabbed Cyrssa in the abdomen, Cyrssa shuddered in pain, but remained unconscious. Elynia knew the wound would not kill her. However, it was the next part that made Elynia queasy, in fact, she was alittle scared to even do it. but against her better judgement, she went on ahead. "Good, now s-stab me in the stomach and forget." And with that, Tessy complied again, and suddenly Elynia felt a horrid pain in her stomach, which made her convulse then fall over, she felt her own consciousness slipping away. Meanwhile, Tessy awoke to find both Cyrssa and the girl from the Limbo prison bleeding horribly, and in her hand, to her own horror, was the bloody knife. "Oh dear God no!!!"

Elizabeth

Elizabeth enhanced hearing made her hear the explosion from inside the engine room. The mage laughed. "Oh man I think I found my new favorite tactic to mess with my enemies." she tried to put her hands in her coat pockets but remembered that she didn't have her coat in her current form. Elizabeth changed back into her normal form and moved her arms around. "I'm going to surprise myself with this but I'm starting to miss having wings on my back." Alice changed back and was doing the same. "Yeah, flying around was fun."

The two saw Jason was about to fight against Beetle, Elizabeth was both surprised but not too surprised that he knew met them before, though she found it a pleasant surprise that he didn't know what the word Ahmarhan meant. "Should I or should I not warn him?" Elizabeth pondered on the pros and cons of warning Jason now, but then she remembered that he was extremely confident on his power being the solution to everything so she figure that the only way for him to actually understand what Beetle was is for him to fight the insect warrior.

Elizabeth soon heard Tessy screaming and quickly push pass anyone who was in her way as she ran towards the door. "TESSY! WHAT'S WRONG?" Elizabeth slammed the door open and it hit the wall roughly. What she was something that was hard for her to believe. There was Tessy, the woman who she knew wouldn't willing hurt a fly was now standing over both her niece and her patient with a bloody knife on her hand, with her as the one who harmed them.

"Wha... what the hell is going on?" the stun mage uttered, the sight being almost surreal to her. The knife on Tessy's hand flew out of her hand and fell on to the Moon Sister's hands. "Some restrain that woman before she harms someone else." Hecate ordered. Elizabeth ran forward and turn around to face the group, protecting Tessy from them. "If you wankers want to lay a finger on her you have to go through me first." she snapped back. There is no way Tessy would ever do this to the two Alveranians especially to the one that is family to her.

Tessy

Tessy froze, her instinct was to deperately try and heal the two poor girls, but Tessy had a hard time functioning..."II don't....oh my god!.....blood....bleeding..they're....someone help...." It was clear Tessy was breaking down,...

Elizabeth hated seeing Tessy in this state. She turn around and hugged her, stroking her hair as she held her close. "I know you didn't do this Tessy. It's not your character to do this, you are innocent." she said softly. The Moon Sisters walked over and began to heal the two Alveranians. "Tell us what happened Elynia?" Selene asked, knowing that she would be able to give them an answer on what is going on, even though they suspected that Tessy did this but of course they want to know why.

Tandem looked back at the two girls and at Tessy, a part of him feeling confused on how Cyrssa's aunt can harm her and angry towards Tessy for trying to kill two members of his race. “What should we do with her fellas?” Tandem asked the group. Elizabeth tighten her old on Tessy. “We’re doing nothing because she didn’t do this.” Tandem looked at Elizabeth. “Ms Ashwood, she has blood on her hand. Explain to me ho-...” Tandem was interrupted by Elizabeth screaming. “SHE DIDN’T DO IT!” Reality around them rippled but soon was back to normal.

Tessy

Tessy finally crumbled into a mess of tears, "I-I-I dont...I dont remember..." then she wacthed as Elynia awaken, obviously still suffering the effects of her wound, she cried out in pain and was drifting between consciousness and unconsciousness..."I-I..dont...know...I heard something...it sounded like..." She screamed in pain again, "...like someone being stabbed, and when i turned to look, she....attacked...." she screamed yet again, even though they were healing her, it was obvoous that the wound was very deep. "p-please....please dont make me talk anymore....." Elynia said weakly, clearly begging them. Tessy continued to sob, "i dont remember! i dont remember!"

Crowe

Crowe came down to see what the fuss was all about. what he saw didnt quite register: Sweet girl covered in blood, with two alveranians bleeding out on the floor, suffering from stab wounds. And all evidence pointing to the sweet woman having done it. "What the hell....?"

Elizabeth pulled Tessy close to her and let her cry on her shoulder. Elizabeth looked at the sisters. "Make sure Cyrssa doesn't wake up now. The last thing she needs is to feel both that wound and see her aunt crying." the sisters agreed and cast a spell to make Cyrssa sleep longer. The Moon Sisters soon put Elynia asleep so she wouldn't be awake and suffer. "Alice look around the ship for any signs of a possessor entity now! Those bastards are craft ones. Chances are it's obfuscating its presence from us." Elizabeth soon experimented with her new telepathic powers and send the information on what to do to find the presence of a possessor entity to Alice.

Once she got the information Alice went off to find out if such a being is even present on the ship. Elizabeth wasn't sure if a possessor being was in the ship but it was the most logical idea to her on why Tessy would attack those two. Elizabeth even though on maybe checking on Tessy to see if maybe the being was still inside her but she decided to do that later. Another idea that came to her was the possibility of Tessy going insane because of everything she has been through but Elizabeth tossed that idea away.

She used her telepathic power to see into Tessy's memory before the stabbing and just like she said Elizabeth found a blank page missing. "Tessy is telling the truth. I can't find any memories of her stabbing them. A blank memory is usual a sign of possession." a part of her mind also wanted to say mental illness but Elizabeth kept that part to herself. "Tessy listen to me. You didn't do this on your own free will. Something else made you do it." the witch told the crying woman in a reassuring tone. Tandem turn to Crowe after he heard him. "So what do you think of the likelihood that our witch here is right and we have a case of possession on our hands?"

by **Contamenesia** » Fri Apr 08, 2016 4:57 am

Crowe

Crowe shrugged, then pondered a bit and looked into Tessy's eyes. "Well, another possibility, is that someone casted a spell on her, and after the spell did its job, it made her forget. The only thing is, that if that is the case, that makes the culprit a WHOLE lot harder to find, as practcally any being with magic could easily pull it off without leavinvg hardly a trace back to them, though i will say this: it wasnt a Bard. for one, we dont work that way, and two, neither of us were singing at the time, so it couldnt have been either me or Fauna. Also if it is a spell, then the culprit doesnt even have to be on this ship.....It literally could be anyone...anyone with magic that is."

"I'm familiar with that method. I have dealt with a few cases where mages have done that and even I will admit that I did it once when I was dealing with a bunch of Neo Nazis trying to use magic to attack a Jewish Temple." Elizabeth was safe on revealing this since she was outside so no one can blame her for this. Tandem soon spoke. "But wouldn't they have a hard time doing magic since the vermin would weaken their power?" Elizabeth responded back. "They would which means they are a magic user with us since Fauna's magic is making us work at our full power or they are ridiculously powerful that even weaken they can still control people's mind with their magic."

Elizabeth looked over to Crowe. "The long range spell does have one question though. If it was sympathetic magic then how would they get a piece of Tessy? They would have to know that she was here. Which only narrows our suspects down to those on this boat."

Madagascar III

"Stay up here", said Steiner to the rest loudly yet monotonously, upon hearing the screaming and the wailing from below. "Henry, Master Wong, follow me."

With that, the three charged down the steps of the ship below deck, ending up in the room below, where the whole commotion was rapidly unfolding. Ignoring the sight of blood all over the floor, Steiner went out of the room, before returning from the medical room with a massive first aid kit, which he opened and threw onto the ground.

"Is anybody else here first-aid trained?" he asked. Without pausing for a response, he gingerly slapped on a pair of gloves and took a long roller bandage, along with a massive piece of gauze, before kneeling down beside the unconscious Cyrssa and pressing the wad of gauze over her wound. He caught a quick glance at Elynia, before turning back to Cyrssa.

"The other casualty's abdominal stab wound is vertical. Don't elevate her legs after you bandage her abdomen. That would force the wound back open", he directed.

"You have enemies, Elizabeth, powerful ones, Such as Alzis, or even Kalameet. Either would gladly do such a deed. It could also be an enemy of the Tenshi or Tenshi themself who did it. Though it is less likely." he paused for a moment. "Then there is also a third option: she has simply snapped and lost her mind. Mental illness isnt unheard of..." he said in a serious tone, folding his arms.

"There is, of course, the possibility that this was the doing of a third party", remarked Master Wong as he, his pole leaning against his body, silently surveyed the scene. "From what we know, there are Black List bounty hunters and one of Nixa's subordinates on this planet. We can't rule out the possibility that one of them were involved."

"If it were one of the Tenshi", said Steiner, not taking his eyes off Cyrssa as he continued to bandage her wound, "then it would be one of those who are here right now. None of the others are actively involved with our directives as far as I am aware of."

Elizabeth let out an unearthly hiss, briefly changing into a demonic form before changing back to normal. "If you wish to keep your dick bard never mention that as a possibility again." she snapped at Crowe, glaring at the bard. Elizabeth's expression soften when she felt Tessy touch her cheek and turn her around to face her, tears still coming out of Tessy's eyes. "Don't be angry at him Elizabeth.... he may be right.... maybe I lost my mind." Tessy sorrowfully told her.

Elizabeth looked dejected over the fact that Tessy was willing to say that she was insane. Suddenly an idea came to her. "No Crowe is right. I have a lot of enemies, but there are two he forgot." in her mind the beings appeared. "This whole mess sinks of either an Archon or Daeva plot. Of all of my enemies they are number one on my enemy list." Artemis muttered something quietly so no one would hear but both Tandem and Elizabeth heard her, Tandem slapped his face while Elizabeth turned to the young goddess.

"I'm sorry luv but can you repeat that?" she asked in a forced saccharine tone. Artemis sighed. "I think she went insane because she is dating you. You're kind as a habit of living most other beings insane so Mss Inuu going insane because she is spending so much time around you wouldn't be too far off and is a good reason." To no one's surprise a black aura was around Elizabeth the moment they mention that it was her fault. Tessy was quiet during the whole exchange.

"Before we do something completely crazy that would cause this boat to sink we should probably ask who on Earth are these Archons and Daevas and why you suspect they did it." Tandem's question seem to have worked because Elizabeth soon calmed down. "You really want to know? Because they are connected to a very long and complicated story that I'm sure half of you would call bull on being true."

Elizabeth, Tandem and the Moon Sisters heard the ideas of it being the work of bounty hunters or Nixa and all three hoped for it to be the case. For the sisters they would rather deal with a somewhat known enemy than two completely unknown enemies and for Tandem all of them are unknown but he rather pick the one option that doesn't cause in fighting among the group. Elizabeth is just willing to pick anything that doesn't paint Tessy as the main culprit. Tessy once more said nothing.

Crowe

Crowe stepped forward and kneeled so that he was eye-level with Elizabeth, and looked deep into her eyes, and put a hand on her shoulder, "Hey, i don't think that even for a second that Tessy would willing hurt her own niece or the poor young lady who nearly froze to death. But denying a possibility just because you hate what it implies is not going to solve anything. We have to look at all options, even if we don't like them, Elizabeth. You of all people should know that. I want to help Tessy and the others just as much as you do, but you can't let yourself get lost in your own grief and emotions...." Crowe's eyes had a distant, and deeply sorrowful look in them, as if himself had gone down that dark path before. "If you lose yourself, you lose everything. Even those whom you are trying to protect."

Elizabeth felt Crowe place his hand on her shoulder and looked at him. She remained silent for a while after he was done talking but she finally broke the silence. "You're right, I shouldn't deny that possibility just because I hate it, otherwise I would done that with other the facts I found a long time ago." Those facts of course were related back to the days when she was still a mortal witch having to deal with damnation.

Alice came back. "I checked all of the rooms but either this being is very good at covering it's trail or we have no possessor to worry about." she explained. Elizabeth was now serious. "Okay so we have eliminated the possession theory. Alice I need you to make wards inside this ship so that way we don't have anymore spells or hostile entities attack us." Alice got the images of what sigils to use and she agreed to do what her cousin asked her to do.

"We'll help her out as well." The sisters asked, they turned to Crowe. "If you are willing to put in the insanity theory do consider the possibility that Elizabeth may have contributed to it." They said as they leave, Elizabeth glaring at them as they leave the group. "I know that the chances are low but I'm going to check the ship for any suspicious devices encase we don't have a mind altering machine on board." Tandem said as he too left to eliminate more potential causes to Tessy attacking the two girls.

"I know my new powers can allow me to check Tessy's mind to see if she is truly going insane but I'm still new to them and I don't want to screw up while messing around with her head." Tessy of course did not like the idea of having someone looking inside her mind. "Elizabeth there are other ways to see if I'm insane without literally going inside my head." she said. "Well that method is the best one for us to see what is going on in your head but until I feel a hundred percent confident with my powers I won't use it, so that leaves the traditional methods."

Tessy made a loud yelp when Elizabeth got up and carried Tessy off the ground, one arm underneath her knees and the other around her back. "What are you doing?" she asked only getting a smirk from her lover. "Why finding a nice and quiet room so that way we can check on your mental state my dear." Veria soon responded to Elizabeth's action. "Do you have any experience with psychiatry" Elizabeth thought for a moment. "I was a psychiatrist in a past life does that count?" the other woman crossed her arms. "Depends on the time period because the last thing we need is you perform a lobotomy on your girlfriend." Elizabeth rolled her eyes at the idea. "Yeah my memories of that life may have been from that time era but I'm not going to shove an ice pick through Tessy's eye. I'm just going to use words, since they can go into her head without damaging her brain... unless I say something really stupid."

With those words Elizabeth walked off to find one of the bedrooms in the ship. "I think we should follow them just encase that mage does something that only makes things worse for us." Veria said to Crowe.

Crowe

Crowe turned to the Moon Sisters, "That, i highly doubt. Neither Alice or Elizabeth have the magic nor aura to do so. If you three ladies were more observant, i'm sure you would have noticed that as well, or are you three 'Goddesses' not as versed in the nature of magic as me, and only around to look pretty? Cuz if that is all your here for, i give you a solid and stunning two out of three, ladies," he said with a grin. Granted, he probably WAS more knowledgeable about magic than they were, just counting shear experience alone, ignoring the fact that he was a Bard, which also helped. But he felt like this was something more closer to common knowledge even to those of merely adept level magic.

then after Veira spoke, he turned to her, "Yeah, we probably should, though i do think you would be the better canidate for this. Elizabeth has too much of bias here, if she sees the tiniest hint that its not mental illness, she'll likely jump on it and defend that notion, even if it isnt the truth. Your unbias position and your history with mental magic should be able to better determine if it is mental illness or not..." He kissed her then walked after Elizabeth and Tessy.

Veira smiled after both the vote of confidence and kiss. "You're right that I have experience with mental magic but so does Elizabeth, granted we both took that branch to different directions. But you are right that I should do this, we can use her to calm down Tessy or if she gets frantic have an extra hand to hold her down so she doesn't hurt herself or others." she replied back in a business matter tone.

She and the bard followed Elizabeth until they reached a room that had all the usual stuff one would see in a room with a large mattress in the center. Elizabeth gently placed Tessy on the bed. Elizabeth went over to move a chair while Veira moved over and place her hand on Tessy's forehead. "What are you doing?" Elizabeth asked. "You said that you are to nervous to use your new powers to look into Tessy's mind, but I have experience with that branch so I can look into her mind to see what is going on." Elizabeth didn't say anything as she sat down on the chair, removing her boots and placing her sock covered feet on the bed with one leg over the other.

Veira took the silence as a sign that Elizabeth was willing to let her see inside Tessy's mind. Veira closed her eyes and soon began to focus her mind to establish a telepathic link with Tessy so she can explore her thoughts. Tessy was lying still but with her eyes moving from one spot to the other occasionally it was clear that she was nervous about having someone looking inside her head, afraid of what they might see inside. "Stay calm Ms Inuu, the more calm you are the faster we'll get over this. I promise I'll try not to look into private thoughts and memories." Both her and Elizabeth knew that even if one tried their best not to look into memories and private thoughts of a person you'll still see a few glimpses of the two even if you're a master of mind magic.

Elizabeth got off the chair and got on the bed, crawling on all four she eventually reach Tessy's side and lie down next to her. The woman wrapped her arms and legs around her while Elizabeth rest her head on Tessy's shoulder, trying to do her best at calmly down Tessy. It seems to be working somewhat as Tessy sighed and closed her eyes, Elizabeth closing her eyes as well. Veira soon had the connection and began to search through Tessy's mind to find any signs of both mental illness and/or mental inference and alternation.

Inside her mind Veria can see Tessy's early years in her arid world, living with her sister and father without mother in sight. Not only can Veria see what Tessy is seeing but also feel what emotions she is feeling during the past events. A great example would be when she met her first girlfriend, a tough tomboy named Jax. Veria saw and felt all the emotions of their relationship and blushed when she saw the two of them have a night of pleasure together. But soon she felt devastated once she got to the part of her memories when she saw Tessy grieving over the death of Jax, tears streaking down her cheeks.

She saw Tessy helping her sister raising her son Tak, the twins and Cyrssa. Throughout the old memories she saw memories related to Elizabeth and other events that she was involved in bleeding together, for most it would confuse or make them mad but Veria was able to sort through the mess. However she also saw more memories of things she was sure Tessy didn't want her to see, like the time She and Saya kissed when they were young teenagers on a dare or when she accidentally saw their father naked on the shower. Veria blush only grew into different shades of red as she can feel Tessy's embarrassment, she even saw and felt what happened between her and Elizabeth when they were locked in the bathroom. What surprise Veira is that Tessy still has her sense of purity.

She look back and found that the only way Tessy can still have her innocence is due to Saya, she saw the flashes of how protective her sister was over Tessy yet this wasn't the only factor, Tessy's general outlook on life also helped out on keeping her innocence. Veria couldn't help but to compare both her and Elizabeth as day and night due to how different the two women were.

She looked through the memories related to what had happened before the stabbing and saw that she and the two Alveranians, she saw and felt Tessy's fear of the battle as she held on Cyrssa's hand, Veria/Tessy felt a tap on the shoulder but soon a black void greeted the woman and soon she saw the two Alveranians on the floor bleeding and she felt Tessy's horror. Veria sighed and let go of Tessy, turning to Crowe. "The good news is that Tessy may not be insane. The bad news is that before she mental blanked out someone tapped her on the shoulder, meaning that not only was she under someone's control but they are probably a person in this ship." Elizabeth didn't open her eyes and looked strangely peaceful now but she was still awake as she spoke. "We can't trust anyone until we are sure they weren't the culprit behind the attack." Veria knew that Elizabeth was somewhat right, until proven almost everyone in this ship are likely suspects.

"So far the only people here who are innocent would be those who left to deal with the vermin. Which means me, you, Hiccup, Toothless, Mera, Jason and Gabriel are innocent since none of us could have been here to have gone inside the boat and control Tessy to attack the two Alvernians" Veira looked over to Crowe, she doesn't believe that he could this but they need proof of his innocence.

Dimension 30
Kyênar

City of the Four Emperors

The City of the Four Emperors was a massive metropolitan area in the centre of Dimension 30, the dimension closest to that of Iuzun's headquarters. Despite the turbulence that had stirred up the adjacent universe, the super-capitalist machinery of the industrial giant continued to churn on, spewing plumes of darkness and poison into the air of Kyênar.

In one of the buildings, a meeting had been scheduled to take place. A unifying meeting, one that would bring together numerous small factions against one of the Six Kings of the Multiverse, in an attempt to bring down said King.

By the time Haikarakainen's death was announced to the public, every little power in the Multiverse was already squabbling for power. They had witnessed, in the few days, just how easy it was to kill a Rokuō. Earlier, nobody dared to challenge the sacred positions of the Six Kings, save for the boldest and the most cunning; if they succeeded, they would usurp the seat for themselves. If they failed, torture, humiliation, and death awaited.

But now, not one but three Rokuō had been killed, a fourth had lost his entire organisation, and a fifth had been exiled from his home dimension along with his entire entourage. The whole Multiverse saw, that moment, just what could be achieved.

It wasn't long now, before the war would escalate to proportions far beyond those of the first Rokuō war.

…

Sephinaru Tower, Penthouse 112
3 days ago

The first member of this new alliance against the Rokuō was a big name in the Multiverse himself. He was famous in many sectors, especially in the 7-digit Dimensions, where his name was notorious. He had killed many corporate warlords and political crackpots, as well as innocent men and noble warriors alike; his preferred method of killing was to send death from afar. He was driven solely by revenge.

"Mū Balakas"
Adam Azorug

Mū Balakas was the ceremonial name of Adam Azorug, the former Crown Prince of the now defunct House of Balakas. Adopted by Sen Balakas and raised as a soldier, Adam was well aware of the realities of war; when Maju murdered his stepmother and hunted down the rest of the House, Adam fled to Dimension 29, aged 46, where he proceeded to make a name for himself as an extremely efficient mercenary. This led to his newfound position on the Black List of Bounty Hunters, where he surpassed the likes of the legendary cyborg Nazeroth and the others who now ranked below him.

Still, despite his new position, Adam was still unhappy with the state of events in the Multiverse. His wrath, in particular, was directed at the Rokuō. For obvious enough reasons.

…

"Lord Balakas, "Phantom Blade" Xazur is here."

"Phantom Blade"
Xazur

"Xazur."

"Lord Balakas."

The lean, handsome swordsman sat down opposite Adam, crossing his legs and gazing silently at the Black List bounty hunter who sat on the sofa opposite from him, his silky golden hair obscuring one of his eyes. The sniper smiled innocently and cordially, masking the fact that he had killed almost 50,000 people in his lifetime of just slightly more than 60 years.

"Hopefully, our future partnership will be fruitful enough to benefit all three of us who will be part of this alliance", said Adam, his English clunky and convoluted.

"Ditto", replied the swordsman, maintaining his gaze.

The arrival of the third person was not announced by the aide who stood at the door, for the simple reason that his arrival was almost invisible. Both Xazur and Adam were aware of the third man's sudden appearance, however, as the faint, misty figure that had slipped past the door undetected now coagulated into a large, grey, amorphous lump of slime on the third sofa. Slowly, as both looked on, the grey mass morphed into a humanoid shape, taking on the appearance of a man in a hood, his face obscured completely by shadow.

"Now that we are all here", said Adam, who was clearly the leader of the alliance, "we shall discuss our plan briefly. Our overarching plan shall be to take down...

"... the Rokuō, Ludwig the Phoenix."

The swordsman simply gazed on silently, while the man in the black robe nodded, sipping at a cup of warm milk.

"According to the plan", said Adam, gulping down a shot of Jägermeister, "there are two things that we will do to achieve this end. Firstly, we will take out as many of the Tenshi as possible, taking their Eternal Instruments and using them against the remaining ones."

"Once that is done, we will go straight for Lobby 0; that will surely attract the attention of the Phoenix."
