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

[Naval Monte]

Altyrnia

"My name is Altyrnia. It's not a..." she paused looking for the right word, "...English name, but where i come from, it is the equivalent of the name you would call...Alyssa...yes i think that is an accurate translation of my name..." She smiled, and looked up into the sky. She knew Firefly was up there. She didn't need her underlings giving who she was away, so she got an idea, "Um....Who's that?" she pointed up, squinting, pretending that she was having a hard time seeing the person she was pointing at.

Firefly

Firefly was surprised to see the King appear. She knew better than to ask questions, and knew her King would be upset if she revealed her identity. Suddenly Orders appeared before her, visible only to her. She nodded, then began to slowly descend into view of the others. She folded her arms, her face unseen as she remained fully armored.

Kyuubi

The Gentleman chuckled. He smiled at the lich who still had the body of the Needy Goddess. "Interesting. Oh.by the way. Some of that murdering Scoundrel's minions are headed this way..." With his hand behind his back and way from view, he silently snapped, stopping the angel's heart. few six seconds before letting it start again, but in her wounded state that was more than enough to cause problems. "You have a plan i presume?" he asked.

Tandem

"I think it is a comic book character heading towards us?" Alice said, using her hands to cover her eyes so her eyes won't get bothered by the light of the fading sun as she looked up to see Firefly. "I wouldn't use the same words as my friend but I will have to agree with her, the armor reminds me of a few worlds that had supers in them." Tandem said, his augmented eyes were able to catch a good glimpse of Firefly long before the others could. Alice took this as her chance to take a picture of Firefly, follow by the other two dragons along with Altyrnia.

"You like taking pictures of things don't you?" Tandem said to his friend as she only smiled and nod at him. Kalameet looked up and groan loudly. "Oh great, the fucking bug is here. My best advice to you all is to get out of here before she murders you all." Kalameet said, his form breaking away into powder as the wind blew him away. "Wait that person is female? What does he mean by her killed us all?" Tandem was starting to get a bad feeling about this woman, it didn't help that he was feeling a sense of dread from this woman. Tandem felt that if he doesn't leave now this woman would kill him simply for him existing.

Elizabeth

"Did you really have to change back? I was starting to like you're new form." Elizabeth said teasingly as she let out a few more laughs. The street witch will admit that the liche being able to bend his body like was impressive, even more so since it didn't require for him to go through a lengthy ritual. Once the liche asked her what she missed Elizabeth began to play with her hair, looking as though she wasn't interested at the current topic. "Let's see, after taking out a few of Alzis's goons me and my group went into this world that was like a very bad acid trip, but was worse since there really was no sense of time and sense in there. We later found out that the world was a prison and that those bastard from the Ahmarhan had every possible version of Cyrssa trapped in that hell hole." Elizabeth was still furious at what she saw at that realm. "But we found our Cyrssa and after getting in trouble with the warden we got out and met the welcome party here, everything else would just lead all the way to now." The mage explained, going back to messing with the strange object again.

However without realizing it the moment she rubbed against the ruby on the center it glow and soon Elizabeth was surrounded by a burst of multicolored lights.

Once the lights faded Elizabeth looked confused by what just occurred, but Elizabeth felt that whatever magic was inside the object made a few changes to her. Checking her hair she found that it now went pass her shoulder blades and that she had side bands that reached her shoulder, with some strands of hair sticking out from her neck, otherwise her hair was the same shaggy mess it always was.

Looking down at her body she found that her trench coat was now fixed, not just fixed but the energy of the magic changed it as she her magical sense were now telling her that it was no longer a regular piece of clothing anymore. However along with her hair the rest of her clothing changed too. Gone was the torn, bloody, dust covered white shirt. In it's place was a white dressed shirt with a black vest on top of it, around her neck was a long maroon tie that Elizabeth lessen out. Her damaged black pants were now replaced with new pants of the same color with a maroon belt around the waist.

She rose her feet and saw that her black boots were now maroon with the sides and laces being black, in fact she found that she now had black gloves again only these were fingerless. "Well this is a surprise? Kinda wished I had a mirror so I can have a better look on how that relic changed me." Elizabeth's question didn't get an answer as the angel woke up screaming, it's arms starting wake up moved and almost cut Tessy with her claws but thankfully Tessy was able to dodge it. Tessy was confused on what could have caused the angel to react this way. Tessy tried to calm it down as she worked on making it better, but whatever happened to it was now making her job harder.

Alzis

The woman was glad that the demon was willing to take her somewhere else, she yelled out when Aeris lifted her up, a reminder that the teenage girl before her was indeed a demon. She rolled her eyes when the demon began to talk with Goku, in a much better state Alzis would have laugh on how the demon spoke to the man as if he was from elementary school. Alzis then felt her was beginning to wake up, gritting at the pain of all her nerves waking up after being numb for so long.

Yet she enjoyed this pain for it after this pain she would have fully mobility and hopefully a clear mind once more. For now she will remain to be helpless, let others underestimate her and when they least suspect it show why Alzis is a major player in the Occult Underground.

Moon Sisters

"Don't mention it." the young platinum hair goddess said with a cheerful smile. After the lieutenant introduced herself and asked why they shared all that information Artemis looked at her confused, titling her head to the side. "Frieda? Your a girl?" Artemis turned to Selene who was covering her mouth to suppress her laugh. "You knew all the long did you sister?" Selene admitted that she knew that the pretty boy that Artemis was flirting with was female, even Hecate joined in the laughter.

Now embarrassed Artemis looked down as her entire face was red, she muttering several curses towards her sister. For a few minutes Artemis didn't raise her face to look at the guards or even say anything, the goddess was forming a plan to get back at her sisters and once it was complete she let a wicked smile grace her face. Once she moved her head to face the guards the smile was more pleasant than when she made her plan for vengeance. "You are right, there is a price for the information I shared with you." she said in a saccharine tone. "It's true that we could have used our powers to make you all think that all of this was nothing more but a dream or a drug trip." Artemis looked at Freida. "However doing so would make it very hard for me to ask you out the next day."

Selene and Hecate looked at their sister with surprise, they knew that she was just messing around with all the flirting but they never suspected that she was actually going to ask the guard out, they are even more surprised that she is still going through with it even though she knows that the guard is not male like she originally thought. Of course none of those two would expect to realize that their sister was using the date to lead them into a trap, Artemis knows that her sisters would most likely follow her since it was rare for them to ever be out on the dating scene.

Artemis got up and walked over to the guardswoman, she lean forward and whispered to the woman what she was planing to do to her sisters.

[Slenderman The CreepyPasta King]

"Her ki is acting strange." Goku said. "Like something is messing with it, but that could also be because it's flaring. But are these enemies powerful?" He quickly asked after giving Alziz a sensu bean.

[Kaidou]

"With the three of you", said X, without any sort of emotional fluctuation, "there are three possible outcomes."

"Firstly, that all three of you are proxies of Singularity. Secondly, that either one or two of you are, and the third is either unaware of it or attempting to cover up the fact. Third, that you are all innocent. Based on the fact that you are goddesses, however, it is less likely that an Existential Dragon can manipulate any one of you easily, though I shall not rule out the possibility as all four of the Dragons have successfully manipulated gods and goddesses in the past.

I shall give an in depth explanation later on", he ended off, "but for now, for reasons of time, I shall move on to the other lot…" He drew a box and wrote his brief overview of the three Sisters in Burmese.

[Naval Monte]

Moon Sisters

"Well your second idea that one of us can be the proxy as a problem as most of the times we are together, so if we are the proxy than it's all three of us." Of course the truth to their statement is that they have their moments where each sister departs from the other to have some alone time, but they have a special link with each other that they would know when one is in trouble. "If you wish to know we have met with Singularity and Kalameet before in the past, both tried to manipulate us but their efforts failed. We were surrounded by a pantheon of gods and goddess that were both manipulative and had a flair for the dramatics, honestly speaking to them we can't help but have a sense of Déjà vu." the three sisters said, their eyes looking vacant as they trend back into memory lane, back to the days when they were just goddesses and the hotel was barely in their mind.

Alzis

After eating the bean Alzis felt two things. One was disgust as she found the taste of the sensu bean deplorable and second was her body healing much more quickly, at least now the irritating stinging sensation from her body was gone. "Thank you Son Goku." she said, though her voice sounded to hollow for it to truly sound grateful. "As for them being powerful that depends, how well can you deal with magic?" she said. In all honesty Alzis suspect that right now those traitors were now looking for a safe place to concentrate a temple of magic, that way they can use their strongest spells against both her and the alliance should they come after them.

"Besides the obvious fact that both our universe are incompatible with each other they are more powerful when they are not in open combat, the way magic works for them makes it a poor tool for fighting but when most creatures can kill humans quite easily fighting against them in the traditional sense is close to suicide."

[Kaidou]

-snip-

"It doesn't make any sense whatsoever…"

X remained crouched over the charts and notes that he had scribbled over the mahjong paper, in numerous languages.

"According to my calculations, each and every one of the Tenshi, former ones included, have exactly the same chance of being the double agent… You're sure you didn't provide me with any misinformation?"

"No", said Mera and Father Christmas, in unison.

"If that's the case, then finding the double agent is going to be much harder than we expected… While it is important that we continue to work together in preventing any grievous harm to the Hotel, I'd say that for now, we should not trust each other too much…"

Dimension 10,497
Tarvakaido Lumirazu

"Move out of my way, Harakiri Haikarakainen."

The two inter-dimensional hegemons stood directly across each other on the volcanic planet, staring each other down. Just as Maju had escaped from the fallen planet which he had delivered a final, humiliating coup de grâce to, Haikarakainen had intercepted him and planted himself firmly in the path of the Bloodthirsty Sorcerer.

"No doubt, you are going after the String as well, are you not, Haikarakainen?" asked Maju, snarling bestially and drawing out a black hatchet with his black magic.

Haikarakainen sneered back.

"Already, my armies are on the move, encircling the String, waiting for the opportune moment to strike", said the chief of the IGSE, as he slowly twirled his fingers, in a suggestively deadly manner, preparing to strike back at the gigantic Tajiu who stood across from him.

"You think your IGSE can stand up to my specially bred, octillion strong army?" taunted Maju, as he leapt at Haikarakainen furiously, raising his mace and charging up its power to take out the other warlord in a single blow. "You do not know who you are up against, you infant! I am God!"

Haikarakainen maintained his childishly feral grin as he tore out five metallic strings from the lava, still smoking hot and crackling with the sound of energy charging up near-molten metal.

"Nothing could have prevented this confrontation!"

[Generailia]

Dennis

Dennis's smile twitched as he thought back to what he had seen the mage do to the two demons that seemingly appeared out of nowhere. Yet the Lich was able to shrug it off with a bit of effort, since her attitude alone made it obvious that she was nothing like the creature he saw whenever he even closed his eyes for little more then a second. But a prison world with the most fanatical fanboy in all of existence as a warden really wasn't on his top ten places to visit before he dies..and it is a little bit too late to actually do anything on the list regardless. Then for no reason whatsoever the woman in front of him was attacked by a rainbow.

This of course caught both the thief and the superhero reject that he could only see from the corner of his right eye completely off guard and only able to regain control over themselves once the colors finally faded. Yet the undead mage was far less surprised then the soldier to see the girl's clothing change completely, but both where able to hear what she had to say with relative ease. But the creature spent most of the time that the mage took to talk to watch the same man he had been glancing at from time to time a few feet away from him calmly pull a very similar device out of his pocket before giving the thing some space. Which of course is something very similar to what the creature would have done..but he doubted that the owner of the house would be very pleased to see a broken window suddenly appear if such a person is actually in the group in front of him. Then after watching the angel-like woman on the group throw a temper tantrum he quickly decided to turn his attention towards such a being just encase the claws start flying towards him as two women whose names he didn't know worked to treat her would, yet the Lich prepared a simple sleep spell that only really works on those who aren't in the best state of mind as he mentally prepared himself to flee just encase things got out of hand as well.

Aeris

Aeris was of course surprised to see the strange man in front of her simply leap up and shove some sort of pill into Alzis's mouth. But the demonic feline really didn't have enough time to think about such a thing since the realization that he completely ignored her question caused her eyes to widen in outrage for little more then a second. Yet the cat was able to calm herself down rather quickly since she knew that asking again would be completely pointless and the chances that she would insult him and possibly even start some unneeded conflict was excessively higher then she was comfortable with it being. Then after the female mage decided to test her patience the demoness took the silence after the woman finished she took a second to make her disappointment with "Son Goku" perfectly obvious as she facepalmed herself before letting her hand drop as she turned around and walked towards the faint outline of a town that she could see in the distance. Then after the girl's hand fully fell she motioned for the monk wannabe to follow her as she calmly walked towards the outline while occasionally causing the feminine figure that was flouting above her to occasionally flip or turn in a effort to relieve her own bordem.

Lieutenant Freida Warmund

Freida was surprised by the woman's question since she could have sworn that her voice made her gender perfectly obvious. But after seeing just how red the goddess's face got her own cheeks quickly decided copy it as she scratched the back of her head awkwardly while her fellow guards tried not to laugh yet a few of them broke into giggles while one even began to cackle before almost falling out of his seat. Yet the smile that suddenly appeared on Artemis's face quickly caused all of them to go silent and even look away once her gaze hit their commander. Suddenly, the realization that a fairly attractive woman just asked their commander out to a date hit them quite hard as all of them stared with blank faces while the one who was already falling out of his chair before hand finally lost his grip and landed with a excessively loud thud. But this was of course ignored by everyone as even the guardswoman herself stared in shocked silence before the woman in front of her began to move towards her chair. This of course caused her to go back into the real world as she flinched away instinctively just encase the goddess tried anything odd, but after hearing her plan she began to slowly relax as a grin very similar to the own that temporarily crept across Artemis's own face temporarily appeared on her own before she quickly hid it before nodding in agreement and forcing a friendly smile across her face that would be disturbing to anyone who knew her well. This of course caused the lieutenant to ignore the rest of the meeting completely as she attempted to calm down the terrified and astonished men behind her just encase on of then accidentally pulls the trigger and gets everyone killed in seconds.

[Naval Monte]

Moon Sisters

"We have not left anything out nor are we are deceiving you, what we told you is the truth." Hecate said, she firmed on her belief that not only was she and her sisters telling the truth but they are not the proxy.

Artemis only giggled at the small scale chaos she caused among the guards, she was glad that this Frieda was willing to go along with her plan. Suddenly all three felt one of thier artifacts going off, evedintally either Elizabeth or Adwith pressed the jewel. Selene looked over the other tenshi.

"We still have X as our prime suspect for now but we will need his advice on keeping an eye on the rest of you, no doubt you all would do the same with us. Should we encounter the other me,bets of our alliance we have to decide who among them should we share this information with." Artemis then came by Selene, wrapping her arms around her shoulders while standing behind her.

"Also we found where the newest group to our little alliance is. We put two relics that along with fixing up thier cloths also act as a beacon when it's activated." Hecate used the pendant to create a portal inide the Inuu residence, ignoring the surprised reactions of all those inside. Artemis walked over to the guards and extended her hand to Frieda. "Come along sugar we have a party to crash." The young godess said with glee. The still floating of Setena was the first to enter the portal, the sisters heard Tessy say something about another person to heal.

"So are the rest of you ready to move on? We can finish the rest of this investigation inside the house, maybe the people who live in there can tell us a good place to stay for the night cause I doubt we will all be able to sleep in there."

[Contamenesia]

Kyuubi

The gentleman chuckled, noting the arrival of the goddesses. "I believe we have yet to be aquainted....Though your presence improves our odds. A Murdering Scoundrel has sent her minions to attack this place...." he gave a shrug. His voice was friendly and very diplomatic. His posture was comfortable. Because of his position, he was used to just about everything.

Crowe

Crowe walked down the stairs, having just returned from using the restroom. "So what did i miss?" His eyes lit up when he saw the angel, "Oh, a lovely maiden in need of healing? I will gladly offer my services." he said with a smile, then noticed the well dressed gentleman and the new and improved Elizabeth. "Ha, i'm sorry was there a party being planned or something?" he asked with a mischievous grin. The Gentleman turned to face Crowe. "Ah...I had almost forgotten your kind was here...." Before Crowe could respond, he felt all feeling in his limbs go numb, and he fell down the stairs, and felt his Magic draining away...."W-What--?"

Fauna

Fauna walked in from the kitchen, "What happened? I sensed a flare of Magic--" Her eyes widened when she saw him...."K-Kyuubi?" Unfortunately that was all she could manage before her body went completely numb and she collapsed, and she could feel her magic draining away. The Gentleman spoke, "Now that is most unfortunate. i had hope to keep the charade going for a bit longer than this. But i can't have Bards interfering with what must be done." For a moment it seemed like Fauna and Crowe were about to fade away when suddenly both of their bodies stood up, Magic now permeating through them both, its presence could be felt across the entire Realm, and rippled even across others. Their eyes glowed a mystical blue. And when they spoke, it was at the same time. "You cannot kill me, Gentleman. Though i inhabit these vessels, I am no mortal or living being. This attack was unprovoked, i have no hostility to you or your kind." The voice was both male and female, young and old, human and beast, and spoke in every language at once, even in those that have faded Histories past. It sounded as if billions of people were speaking at once, sharing one voice. This was the Voice of the Bard.

Cyrssa

Cyrssa was caught off guard both by the three women suddenly appearing with a floating, sleeping girl, and by the sudden collapse of two of the strangers who had rescued her. "What? What the hell is going on?" she asked, activating her armor. "No, No, none of that." The Gentleman said, and suddenly snapped his fingers in full view of everyone around him. Cyrssa's armor suddenly turned off. Somehow all its power simply vanished, which shouldn't be possible, she had created an infinite energy source for it...."W-What?" she exclaimed in surprise. "Calm down." The Gentleman said, his posture completely unchanged. "I'm not here to kill anyone. As for my actions, I can clarify that your very presence, Bard, was the provocation. Your vessels are problematic when concerning my plans. I had planned to go completely unnoticed." Cyrssa pulled out her gun, and Kyne pulled out her knives, but suddenly Cyrssa's arm went numb and it dropped, as did Kyne's arms. She didn't even see him snap, but she knew it was him who did it. "Trust me, I'm not the fighting type. Also its practically impossible for you to fight me. Who I am is unimportant. I am only here to make sure that the String isn't stolen. I truly mean you no harm." Cyrssa bit her lip, she didn't trust this man one bit, but the way he spoke....he sounded sincere.

Altyrnia

Altyrnia sense the ripple of magic that seeped into the realm. She knew immediately it was from the Bard, but she dismissed it, it was irrelevant. It was then Firefly spoke, "Three Existencial Dragons in one place? and Two of them fighting? You ought to know better than to cause trouble. You will cease this recklessness at once, or suffer the consequences."

Altyrnia turned to the others, "Whoa, she seems scary..."

[Charmera]

Altyrnia

Altyrnia sense the ripple of magic that seeped into the realm. She knew immediately it was from the Bard, but she dismissed it, it was irrelevant. It was then Firefly spoke, "Three Existencial Dragons in one place? and Two of them fighting? You ought to know better than to cause trouble. You will cease this recklessness at once, or suffer the consequences."

Altyrnia turned to the others, "Whoa, she seems scary..."

"So what? We can't meet each other or have a friendly game of sibling rivalry? No one ever told me that the last time your people came over to bully me." Heat raged, her tempreture flaring up with her mood, basically uncontrollable. Her voice was level, not yet shouting. Heat rarely ever needed to shout."What trouble are we causing exactly? It's not like the wierd shit that happens with Singi and Kal when they fight. Just a bunch of explosions."

Aruvia turned to firefly. "I have nothing to do with whatever idiotic feud these two have. I'm merely attempting to take care of my own interests here." She spoke. "Plus I was here first."

[Kaidou]

Moon Sisters

"We have not left anything out nor are we are deceiving you, what we told you is the truth." Hecate said, she firmed on her belief that not only was she and her sisters telling the truth but they are not the proxy.

"So are the rest of you ready to move on? We can finish the rest of this investigation inside the house, maybe the people who live in there can tell us a good place to stay for the night cause I doubt we will all be able to sleep in there."

"Your suspicion is perfectly justified", said X to the Sisters, "and I do not fault you for thinking so. As such, I shall have no qualms working with you in solving this case, as with the rest of the Tenshi, and I request that all of you do the same. Of course, this is entirely preemptive, as I can infer that all of you are already prepared to do so…"

"Come along now", said Hiccup excitedly, as he climbed onto Toothless' back, unbuttoning his shirt and tying it around his waist. "The heat's getting quite unbearable. Let's move on."

The Ice Corps
Supreme HQ
Dimension 888,815

Every single member of the Ice Corps had been assembled in the parade grounds, in full battle gear. However, the battle gear didn't belong to them; it was specially produced by the Intergalactic Security Enterprise. Rotehund's takeover of the Corps on Haikarakainen and Singularity's behalf had been successful. Now, only one thing was left.

"Gentlemen", came the voice of the rogue Brigadier through the speakers installed at the six parade squares on which the men had assembled, ready to climb into the armoured Jeeps and tanks on the first order. "General Nicholas is no longer the Commander of this army; I am. Today, we will be executing the most massive operation yet. Details of the operation will be disseminated to the commanders of the various unit, along with individual instructions. For now, however, what you need to know is that all of you should be prepared for intense front-line conflict with an enemy whom you have all faced before; the Maju Army.

"Good luck, ladies and gentlemen."

That same moment, the commanders of the battalions were, all of them, approached by men in black trench coats, escorted by the Regimental Police of the various units. It was clear that none of the black coated men were part of the corps, but judging from the RP escorts, they had probably been sent by BG Rotehund, or someone associated with him.

Each of the coated men carried a small wooden chest, about the size of a bread box. Despite its relatively small size, the boxes were rather dense, as if there were some strange, leaden material within. And indeed, there were. The message to each of the commanders was the same.

"By order of Brigadier General Samuel Rotehund, you are to consume the contents of this chest as soon as possible", each man relayed to his respective commander.

Inside each chest was a Devil Fruit, obtained through the secretive black market dealings of Harakiri Haikarakainen.

Arkenau

Freedom had come for the people at last.

They had overthrown the People's Solidarity Front, the hegemonic force that had dominated Parliament and held the government in a stranglehold. Or, as Chancellor Valheitler had said, become the government itself.

"I make no apologies that the Government is the PSF, and the PSF is the Government."

Now it wasn't. And it was the people, the ones whom Jayden Valheitler had blindfolded for 31 years, who made it so.

Of course, this only lasted for a week or so, for after that, Arkenau, along with the entire dimension in which it was suspended, was obliterated, and its matter rearranged to form a completely new dimension, one with no trace of what used to be there. Nobody had noticed that tucked away in a remote military base was a bomb of immense potence.

A Genesis Bomb, to be exact.

Printed with the logo of the PSF, and the words "I warned you."

[Naval Monte]

Elizabeth

"Great you three are back, I take it that my new attire and hair was your doing right?" Elizabeth said as the sisters nod their heads to admit to her claim. Elizabeth noticed that the sisters were admiring their handiwork, grinning at them Elizabeth began to make different poses in front of both them and everyone else in the room, right as Hecate criticized that the hair was the only thing she didn't like Elizabeth moved her fingers through it and performed a hair flip. "You're just jealous that I can make a messy hair look good." Elizabeth chuckled when she saw two of the sisters roll their eyes at her statement. Turning to the angel any signs of her playing around vanished as her expression was serious.

"I doubt this fallen angel was sent out as an assassin. For starters it had little energy for it to do the job as we found it knocked out. Second if this being was an assassin then we wouldn't see her until she attacked one of us, her kind are similar to demons in that they rarely operate out on the up." The sisters asked the occultist how is she sure about her claim about the angel. "Cause this angel is from my world and I have been around her kind to know how they work for the most part." Elizabeth said as she took out her pack and lit another cigarette as she turned to the Gentleman.

"You're right about Alzis's henchmen coming over but I doubt they are coming here to attack us. If this was an attack she wouldn't have the supernaturals working with the muggles and more importantly the former of the group would be trying to hide their energy from me, right now they are doing the exact opposite, they want someone to notice them." Elizabeth walked over to a seat in the living room and sat down.

"Of course this can all be a trap, Alzis did something similar to this before and there was a larger wave of minions waiting for the orders to attack, but I doubt we are going to experience that." Elizabeth looked over the angel while taking out the string. "No, I think they want their angel back along with the string and sense I'm the betting type I'll have to guess that the angel only had the string cause Alzis ran into trouble and she didn't want what was giving her trouble to get their hands on the string." Elizabeth looked at the gentleman.

"So Mr. Gentleman, is my hunch correct?" Elizabeth asked as she took a drag from her cigarette. She was already suspecting the gentlemen on being the source of whatever trouble Alzis ran into cause his arrival and knowledge of Alzis and her minions were red flags to the mage's paranoid mind. Elizabeth also used every ounce of mental strength she has to ignore the whispers coming from the string, it telling her all the eldritch secrets and truths about existence. "You're not going to fool me you piece of twine. I live in a world filled with tomes of eldritch lore, I know what is the price for messing with lovecraftian relics."

Elizabeth couldn't help but to realize how much her current situation makes her feel at home, the occultist was thankful to be pulled away from that thought as soon as she heard Crowe. Before she can speak the mage the gentleman spoke first, followed by her seeing Crowe falling down the stairs. "Well mate if we were going to throw a party then you can't join because you already pissed drunk." Elizabeth teased, using her joke to mask the unease that she was feeling of Crowe's magic being drained away for no reason. Once Fauna came by and had the same thing happen to her that was all that Elizabeth needed to know that the man now known as Kyuubi, having the man outright admit that he was only performing a charade was the icing on the cake for her.

"Don't feel to proud mate cause I wasn't fooled by it. Having my head constantly being hunted down by different groups and creatures is enough to make me paranoid, but it's price I'm willing to go through if it means I can see through the charades made by arrogant sods like you." Elizabeth didn't pay attention to the fact that the Moon Sisters were gesturing to her to not say anything.

When the two bards began to show their true power Elizabeth covered her eyes as to her senses their entire body was glowing blue. "Bloody hell can you two turn off the light show! You nearly bun off my damn corneas." She said while shielding her eyes. Feeling their power this close was now setting her sense on overdrive, it was enough to make her feel not only sick but also pain as her mortal senses are being pushed well past their limits, yet Elizabeth willed herself to push past the pain. After hearing what Kyuubi had to say Elizabeth snorted.

"Your right, numbing people's limbs and forcing them go into their magical super form is a sure fire way for us to believe you about not wanting to hurt us." the mage snark, putting the string back in her pocket. "We already had our own plans to deal with the elf and so far your presence is a threat to it. So how about you go back to your high castle and imprison more Alvaranians for your twilight zone themed dungeon." Elizabeth now knew who Kyuubi worked for and made sure she let him know how she felt about his organization.

Moon Sisters

The goddesses looked at the man questionably once they arrived inside the house. "You can simply call us the Moon Sisters for now, what name do you want to be called be?" The three sisters turned to Elizabeth, inspecting their craftsmanship on what they done to the street witch. "I say we done a good job with her sisters." Selene started, with her hand under chin as she was thinking. The next was Artemis who was in the same position as Selene.

"I knew adding maroon would work well with her and I was doubting myself a little if the tie would but she manage to pull it off, the longer hair may not have been in our design board but I think it works." Hecate was the next to speak. "The only thing I don't like is the fact that our magic hasn't done anything to make that witch's hair manageable, if anything it looks more like a mess then how it was before." During sister's evaluation on their work Elizabeth decided to humor them by posing for them, they rolled their eyes when Elizabeth said something vain about her hair.

After they heard what Elizabeth had to say about the angel they agreed to go along with her plan since from what they know about Alzis it would seem to be the sort of thing she would do, especially as they turn their gaze to Kyuubi. When they saw the two vessels of the bard fall down and the beings within them awaken they too saw a mystical light surrounding the bards, but they weren't bothered by it like Elizabeth. "It's been awhile since we saw the entity that refers to itself as the bard." Hecate calmly stated, but in truth she along with her sisters were worried about the massive power she was feeling from the bard.

The sisters were also worried about gentlemen for it was likely that he was the cause for them ending up in this state, the only way he could have affected them likes this was for him to be a member of the Ahmarhan. When they noticed that Elizabeth was about to speak they tried to make clear signs for the mage not to speak, yet she either ignored them or was being too much of an idiot not to see them. "Don't woman really does have a death wish doesn't she?" Artemis said after face palming, the other two agreed and silently placed both Cyrssa's and Kyne's names on people that they know that have death wishes.

After Elizabeth was done talking the sisters used their power to not make her stuck on the seat but when the struggling mage spoke no one heard anything. "Sorry if our resident ritualist here offended you, she wasn't raised properly on how to talk to people." the sisters said, in the same tone that a teacher would use when a student disappoints them. "But she is right that we have a plan on dealing with the string and so far your attack on the Bards is jeopardizing it." The sisters said, trying to sound nice but their glares showing that they don't appreciate the Ahmarhan's presence due to his actions.

"If you have the same plan as Wolf when it comes to the string than please let the bard's be, since they have a vital role in the ritual. As for stealing the string so far the first attempt on someone stealing it was a failure on the thieves part, they were to busy either trying to settle petty grudges or were consumed by bloodlust to go after the string."

Kalameet

"Gonna have to agree with my temperamental sister here, all of our fights end up looking like Michael Bay was filming his next movie." The dragon now in the form of the mentioned film director said. He conjured the image of his last fight with Singularity in the Metropolis Realm and how it ended. "You bastards always like crashing in during our fights that I was surprised when you only showed up after it was over."

Kalameet created a director's seat and sat down on it while summoning a revolver, he placed the barrel on his head and spin the chamber. "What are you going to do if we don't stop, kill us?" Kalameet pulled the trigger and nothing happen, he spin the chamber again. "You already know that all of existence needs us so threatening our lives is worthless." once more he pulled the trigger and nothing happened. "If you really want to see trouble then I'll will be happy to show you." Kalameet turn the gun away from him and pointed towards Alice.

Just as he pulled the trigger Tandem used his biomods to give him super speed and be in front of Alice to shield her from the bullets, yet instead of having bullet holes on his body Tandem felt pie being hit on his back. The human and Alvaranian were both confused but they both notice that Alice's clothing was beginning to wiggle by itself, the pair found the sight to strange to react on time as the cloths suddenly ripped themselves off of Alice, leaving the young woman naked.

The clothing were now standing as though an invisible person was now wearing them, the clothing waves at them and soon made a beeline away from them. Alice screamed as she covered herself from Tandem, a wasted effort as he had enough time to see her body. The flustered girl darted towards Altyrnia and hid behind her in a desperate attempt to hide from everyone. "Why you're hiding girlie, show off that lovely body of yours." Kalameet said as he began to laugh. Kalameet used his powers to make Violet's hair grow and wrap itself around the fairy and cause blood to leak out of Jade's pours. The blood was not Jade's so the she was spared from dying of blood lost but she is now left in the awkward position of having to explain to hirself on why she is bleeding.

Before Tandem can say anything to Kalameet he was turned into a fairytale book, within the pages everyone can hear is muffled screaming. Kalameet looked over to Jade. "I wonder what should I do with you? Can't use the wheel of worlds because I don't like doing repeats and I'm still making a new one." The dragon ponder on what sort of things he can do to the she hulk before Firefly can kick him off of the world.

Kalameet

"Gonna have to agree with my temperamental sister here, all of our fights end up looking like Michael Bay was filming his next movie." The dragon now in the form of the mentioned film director said.

The flustered girl darted towards Altyrnia and hid behind her in a desperate attempt to hide from everyone. "Why you're hiding girlie, show off that lovely body of yours." Kalameet said as he began to laugh. Kalameet used his powers to make Violet's hair grow and wrap itself around the fairy and cause blood to leak out of Jason's pours. The blood was not Jason's so the he was spared from dying of blood lost but he is now left in the awkward position of having to explain to himself on why he is bleeding.

Before Tandem can say anything to Kalameet he was turned into a fairytale book, within the pages everyone can hear is muffled screaming. Kalameet looked over to Jade.

The dragon ponder on what sort of things he can do to the she hulk before Firefly can kick him off of the world.

"Kalameet." Aruvia's voice suddenly grew grave as her eyes lit up. She quickly froze the blood pouring from Jason and then cracked it. She created clothing made of ice and snow for Alice, being careful to protect her from the cold. She then summoned a blade of ice, which she used to slice the excess hair from Violet.

"You are coming dangerously close to annoying me brother. I don't come over to your worlds and break your toys." Remarked Aruvia. Her voice had no emotion in it, save what could be a slight twinge of annoyance. "So leave my mortals alone."

Heat meanwhile had wandered off, seemingly bored of the whole charade.

"Kalameet." Aruvia's voice suddenly grew grave as her eyes lit up. She quickly froze the blood pouring from Jason and then cracked it. She created clothing made of ice and snow for Alice, being careful to protect her from the cold. She then summoned a blade of ice, which she used to slice the excess hair from Violet.

"You are coming dangerously close to annoying me brother. I don't come over to your worlds and break your toys." Remarked Aruvia. Her voice had no emotion in it, save what could be a slight twinge of annoyance. "So leave my mortals alone."

Heat meanwhile had wandered off, seemingly bored of the whole charade.

"You claiming mortals? That is a new development." Kalameet cackled as he got up from his seat. He shot at the sky and a large hole appeared with a rope ladder descending down towards him. Once Kalameet got on the ladder he looked back to Aruvia. "Fine I will let your precious mortals be for now. So long you take care to avoid the ones that I have my eyes on." Kalameet snapped his fingers and all of his effects on some of the party vanished, Tandem return back to the world wearing an old and gray attire similar to a wizard, he even had the wood staff and white beard.

"Now I most be off, there is a certain eight legged creature that I need to crush before it leaves the avatar verse." The ladder pulled Kalameet up and soon both he and the hole were gone. After checking his beard Tandem found out that while it was real in the book's world back in the real world it was fake, so he tore it off his face. "Aruvia that brother of yours is one nasty piece of work." Tandem said furiously, he didn't enjoy the dungeon crawl adventure he went through thanks to the dragon. "Thanks for the new cloths Aruvia." Alice was checking the new clothing of ice and snow, finding them beautiful. "I think maybe you should go to some of his world and mess with his stuff." the woman said, her smile now being a mischievous one.

"Even if Kalameet is the type to never keep his word we have no idea which worlds and beings he is following around and a better question would be do we even want to know what has his interest." Tandem replied back, he was all for a good adventure, minus the one he went through, but going off to a world that Kalameet finds interesting would probably mean that they would end up some sort of hell-like dimension.

[Contamenesia]

Kyuubi

Kyuubi chuckled, and he patted Elizabeth on the head just like one would do when a toddler said something silly. "How adorable. Clever girl, however don't be so sure. My charade would have fooled you. I know how you work." he turned to the three sisters. "The Bards will be fine. As you can see by the sheer amount of Magic you can sense, The Bard is far from truly harm. But then again, how does one hurt a Force of Magic? Especially one as Old as the Bard." He smirked. "Now ladies....and gentlemen....let's get to business shall we? You don't have much time. When that String awakens, and trust me that wont be long, she will not be happy. And i doubt any of you will have any means to defend yourselves against an object like it. My only purpose here is to remove anymore delays. If the ritual does not take place, then the very fabric of existence is at stake. You may say what you will about my employers, but you cannot argue the dangers we bare against to preserve your very existence." he folded his arms, yet his posture and tone had remained as level as it had always been. He had histories of experience when it came to diplomacy and communications. This was no different than any other business he had done before.

Altyrnia

Altyrnia frowned. "Wow, scary...maybe is should leave...i'm not much of a fighter..." she said in a frightened and innocent tone. Altyrnia was genuinely intrigued, this definitely was keeping her from feeling so bored. Besides it wasn't really like she was at much risk of being discovered. Even if the worst case scenario occured, she would simply erase it and rewrite it to her whims. Existence was her Garden, and she the Gardener. People thought what she wanted them to think. People saw what she wanted them to see. People remembered what she wanted them to remember and things happened only when she wanted them to happen. She was a being so powerful she could hide herself from anything. She could appear as powerful or as weak as she desired, and no secrets could be kept from her, as she knew every last one.

She didn't hate existence or belittle it. in fact, she loved Existence and everything in it. It is why the First City is designed the way it is, so that all the Ahmarhan could enjoy the wonders of Existence. However, she knew better than anyone that to protect it, the cost would be high, which is why she couldn't afford to think in terms of Good or Evil. they were childish terms, used by the ignorant. Mortals could never understand, most truly don't even realize just how large Existence truly is. How intricate, mysterious.....and fragile it is....

[Naval Monte]

Moon Sisters

Seeing the glare that the bound mage was giving to Kyuubi the sisters can tell that Elizabeth wanted to say something along the lines of him not knowing anything about her, but a lot more crass. Ignoring Elizabeth attempt at trying to bite at Kyuubi's hand after he moved it away from patting her the sisters heard his reason for his action. "We are aware that the string will not remain in it's current form and we were about to settle it but some people decided to run off with the only two bards we know of." The sisters explained, Elizabeth and Tessy knew what they were referring to them and their group and how they left the alliance to go after Cyrssa.

"Of course we also have men like Klingsor and Haikara who keep interrupting us." The sisters glared at Kyuubi. "In fact, the only reason they were after us was because someone from your organization tipped them off about the string. Does your employer really want sociopaths like Maju and Haikara to have the string's power?" The sister's question. They knew that their question was going to serve nothing, if anything he would most likely say that they don't care on who has it. This was one of the reasons they hate dealing with the Ahmarhan, for all their talk about being guardians they have little to no care for the beings they are meant to protect along with existence.

The sisters saw Tessy now checking on Serena and while Selene was grateful for the woman for checking on her she had to stop Tessy. "I would suggest you stay away from her Ms. Inuu, the curse may think that cause you harm. Besides we may need her asleep for this ritual." the middle sister said solemnly. "She's right we already had enough delays as it is, let is go outside to finish this ritual cause this house is starting to feel cramped." The sisters walked out of the living room and Serena's body floating along with them, Elizabeth was soon able to speak and move. "About bloody time." the mage muttered as she got up and stretched her body.

"I'm going outside to finish off my fag in peace and see what sort of ritual the weird sisters have." Elizabeth soon walked out of the room, as she walked past Kyuubi she gave the man a hateful glare.

Tandem

"I'm not a fighter too but I rather not flee now that the more problematic dragon is gone." Tandem said trying to reassure Altyrnia, unaware that she is only acting. Tandem turned to the dragon of cold. "So now what do we do with your sister? Do we just make her bored until she leaves?" Suddenly a loud inhuman cry can be heard somewhere in the forest, the larvae that Kalameet revived has now finished it's transformation.

"The creature really was a larvae..." Tandem said shocked about the fact that it changed and less afraid of what it is now, it was Alice who was more afraid of it. "Maybe we should take follow Altyrnia's idea and leave now." she weakly stated, a small part of her that gets a kick out of creepy and spooky stuff was telling her to go investigate it but the memory of the creature back in it's larvae form was all the good reasons she needed on fleeing as far from this place and whatever it is the creature turned into.

Soon everyone heard something massive moving in the forest, yet didn't seem to be moving towards them which was a good sign for them to leave should they want to. Tandem began to walk forward and turned to the group. "I know you all are going to call me crazy but I have to see what this new being is like, if what nearly killed me was just a baby then I have to see what the adult is like." As Tandem expected Alice called him crazy for wanting to go find the creature.

"Come one Alice I lived with you for several months now, don't tell me that there isn't a small part of you that is also curious on seeing it as well." Alice looked away from Tandem, to embarrassed to admit that he was right about her being torn between running away and seeing it. "Well if you all want to stay then it's fine, besides I'm only going to catch a quick peak and run away myself." With a goofy grin on his face Tandem began to walk to the source of the noise. Alice muttered a few words to herself and after explaining that she had to make sure that Tandem doesn't get himself killed she went after him.

[Kaidou]

Several hundred Years Ago

The dark figure of Klingsor stormed through the corridors of the Hotel, his eyes shadowed by his hat, which he always wore. This particular time, however, he appeared to be much more frantic than usual. In one hand, he carried his Trident. His other hand, he kept clenched.

With no hesitation, he stormed into Lobby 0, in which none of the other Tenshi sat that day. They had not called a meeting, and as such, they were all on their own business. As was Klingsor, Tenshi of the Trident. He had another matter which he wanted to pursue then. The allure of the Jewel had irked his insatiable hunger for a taste of its magic, and he, being a sorcerer, had decided to act on that hunger, against the desire of the other six Tenshi.

As usual, the trumpets sounded when Klingsor entered the Forbidden Lobby. However, rather than take a seat at his throne, the Tenshi climbed the stairs to the top of the altar, before standing behind the silver chair, behind the gong. There, there was nothing but a curtain, a curtain behind which resided the Spirit of the Hotel. With a violent lunge, Klingsor pulled the curtain open.

He could not see the Spirit, for it had never manifested itself in its true appearance. All he saw was that hidden Dimension.

Dimension 0, the Realm of the Holy Spirit of the Hotel.

"What do you want, Klingsor?"

The voice of the Spirit had been heard before, but nobody was ever able to describe it. Not even as male or female.

"The Jewel of Pyhädunkelheit! Give it to me!"

The curtain snapped shut, and refused to open anymore.

That same moment, a bolt of light tore through the air and impaled Klingsor.

"Damn it! What was that?"

The voice of the Spirit, once again, wafted through the room. "Klingsor, your hunger for power has gotten the better of you. As such, I hereby revoke your position as Guardian of the Hotel."

At that same moment, while Klingsor raised his arm, which held the Trident, another bolt of light seared through the arm, severing it cleanly and causing the Trident to fall onto the ground, along with Klingsor, who remained silent with shock.

"I really hate to do this sort of thiiiiiiing… It's so awkwaaaaaaard…"

"Kizaru", snarled Klingsor, with a tinge of mania in his voice which he had never shown before. "What have you done?"

Kizaru didn't bother transforming from his light form into his human form. Instead, he simply opened a portal and ejected the former guardian from the Forbidden Lobby.

"You may no longer come in heeeeere…"

With a final scream, Klingsor disappeared…

[Naval Monte]

Alzis

Back in the dimension that Alzis calls home the body that the alliance, Maju and Haikara met first was now finalizing all the preparation for the Fates to expand outward to other world and if need be assist with the alliance to make sure that Maju and Haikara. He knew everything that his female counterpart knows, including bits that he wish not to have witness. "Looks like that one is going to be needing reinforcements soon, I wish I didn't loss my temper there but that insufferable Ahmarhan seems to have the same knack on getting under my skin like Ashwood."

Alzis took a drag on his cigar, he already performed the true wanderer ritual once again so he can freely move around in other worlds, but more importantly he won't be alone this time. One of his bodies have been looking up events happening with the alliance while his other self was not around them, he found out the news that one of the tenshis was a proxy for the singular dragon and still thinking of the chaotic counterpart knows first hand that any dragon like them would cause the alliance unimaginable problems unless it was settled know.

"I wish I can wait a bit longer to gather more information as to who the double agent is but right now with an Ahmarhan on that world I don't have much of an option to wait until that agent does something during the ritual." Alzis knew that the chances of the dragon going after the string to merge with it was low but that didn't mean that the dragon can have other plans for the string. Finding the mages that would be coming with him Alzis explained to them what the current situation was, he grateful on the fact that these mages have seen some much strange stuff that most of the things that he told them they didn't question too much.

Armed with an old rifle he gave the orders for the mages to leave, they walked out the room and soon vanished from their world. When they reappeared Alzis and the mages first realize that the hallway they were in was cramped since they came in together, after finally free themselves they climbed down the stairs. Seeing the group down his sight fell to Kyuubi and he glared at him, but quickly he moved away from him as he saw the other tenshis that were there, he briefly wondered where the Moon Sisters and Elizabeth were since he couldn't see them.

"Felix, Hiccup.... Dennis. It's been a while, I see all of you are still most intact. I have a source that the tenshis have a rather sensitive problem relating to a member within their ranks, me and my people came by to assist you with that matter." Alzis pulled out a circular ceramic disk with sigils and glyphs on it. He walked over to Father Christmas and broke the disk in half. "That enchanted artifact was a truthteller, once the artifact is broken those who saw me break it are force to tell me the truth." He looked over the other Tenshis, in particular at X. "I never met you before boy, but I'm saving you for last."

Alzis turn his attention back to Father Christmas. "Father Christmas, since you are under the power of the truth teller I have a few questions to ask you. You say that you visit children throughout the multiverse yet I wonder if there are some realms that you dare not enter for one reason or another" That one is more out of curiosity then a serious question, but since I came here for a serious matter I might as well get on with it. Do you, Father Christmas, at any point in time have worked with or are you now working with Singularity as a double agent?"

[Kaidou]

The truth-teller disk took a while to take effect on Father Christmas, due in part to the resistance put up by the Eternal Sceptre's mind, but he eventually fell under its spell. Of course, being an immortal spirit who had existed for time innumerable, the spell would wear off much faster than if the disk had been used on other Tenshi, but it worked nonetheless.

"I am not a proxy", said Father Christmas, as naturally as if he had been speaking in a normal conversation.

The other two Tenshi in the group looked at each other.

"Well, that leaves six others", said X to Mera rather tersely. "Eight if we count all of the Moon Sisters as separate entities rather than as one."

Before anybody else could react, however, X's Eternal Scales began to vibrate, giving off a faint yellow glow like that of a moon in the night sky. "Hello, what's this?" he asked himself rhetorically.

"The Guardians have been convened by the Holy Spirit", exclaimed Mera, as her Ring, too, began to glow and rattle on her scaly claw. "Presumably to discuss the whole issue of the organisation's infiltration by Singularity, I suppose… fufufu…"

"If that's the case", added Father Christmas, pulling out his Sceptre and opening a portal that led to the entrance of Lobby 0, "then perhaps we should get going? Perhaps the meeting will shed some light on this matter?"

"Very well then."

With that, X and Mera shambled across the portal, before pushing the doors of Lobby 0 open and walking through, bringing about all the usual fanfare.

At that same moment, Alzis heard a voice speaking to him inside his mind. Not the voice of any of the Tenshi, for sure, but the voice of something else completely. Something nondescript, yet grand. Gentle, yet sinister. Fiery, yet sexless. Something singular.

"Alzis", said the voice of Singularity. "The Tenshi are converging on the orders of the Holy Spirit. However, they are not discussing my involvement in their organisation's workings; rather, they are discussing the threats of Maju and Harakiri Haikarakainen.

"As such, I will tell you who my proxy is. The charade has gone on for long enough.

"Later on, once all seven of them are seated, open up a visual into the Lobby; I will concentrate my presence behind the throne of the proxy, such that only you may see it. I don't want to let my presence be known…"

[Naval Monte]

The truth-teller disk took a while to take effect on Father Christmas, due in part to the resistance put up by the Eternal Sceptre's mind, but he eventually fell under its spell. Of course, being an immortal spirit who had existed for time innumerable, the spell would wear off much faster than if the disk had been used on other Tenshi, but it worked nonetheless.

"As such, I will tell you who my proxy is. The charade has gone on for long enough.

"Later on, once all seven of them are seated, open up a visual into the Lobby; I will concentrate my presence behind the throne of the proxy."

If Alzis was surprised about Singularity speaking inside his mind he didn't show it, instead he ordered some of his followers to find the ones that were heading towards the house and stop them from coming before they get anywhere near the property and another group to find the other body. The mages that received their orders vanished, leaving the others to move about the house with some leaving the house entirely.

"Strange that you would want to expose your proxy dragon, most beings that I meet that have proxies would usual keep important ones like the one you have secret and would only let them go if they have become to much of a hassle to keep." Once those mental words were uttered Alzis pondered if that was the reason why Singularity was willing to reveal the identity of the proxy. "There is something you want from us if your going to reveal the identity of your proxy cause I have a feeling that you and me are similar to one regard, we both are not the charitable type." Alzis walked out of the living room and went outside, he will never admit to the dragon that he couldn't create a portal or a window to Lobby 0 since he has no idea what it looks or if he can create a window for it, but he was aware of three beings who could that were outside the house.

Once Alzis stepped outside he found the Moon Sisters keeping a close watch on the mages that just arrived with Elizabeth doing the same. "Well would you look at that, the bloody cavalry has arrived. Thanks for the reinforcements but we have everything under control." Elizabeth snarked at Alzis, but he ignored her as he walked to the three sisters. "I need you three to create a window to the Lobby that you and the other tenshi's meet, I have a way on finally revealing the identity of the proxy."

The sisters were surprised and suspicious of his claim, but wanting this double agent problem to be settled they decided to do a blind leap of faith and trust Alzis on his word. In a few minutes a window to the lobby was made, the sisters excused themselves as they created a portal to leave the arid world and go to the lobby. Seeing the sisters in the lobby vie the window Alzis talked back to Singularity by their telepathic link. "I have the visual ready for your arrival, luckily I have the best seat to see whatever drama will unfold in that room."

[Kaidou]

"I have no more use for the proxy; I've got another plan of action on my side of things", said the Dragon. "So I'm doing you all a favour. What you plan to do with him is entirely up to you, or rather, the Tenshi. But hush! The meeting is about to start!"

…

Lobby 0

"Ladies and Gentlemen."

The voice of the Spirit rang out from behind the curtain the moment the last of the Seven took their seats on their respective thrones. Every single one of them had come for this meeting, including the serial truants like Kizaru and Illushu. The fact that the Spirit had summoned them on such short notice had gotten the message across that there were urgent matters to be discussed.

"It is not usually my practise to reveal myself to others, for various reasons", said the Spirit. "However, the threat to the Hotel at this moment is unlike any that it has ever faced in the past, and as such, I shall be manifesting myself in person and acting as the Eighth Tenshi."

That same moment, the curtain covering Dimension 0 flapped open, revealing the figure of a man. He was rather short, and dressed in a black jacket with a white shirt, a white cravat, and baggy black pants, along with black and white leather shoes. His hair, which was grey and magnificently full, was sprayed all over his head, though it appeared that the Spirit had made an effort to comb it backwards. As the Tenshi in their thrones gazed at him in awe (having never seen him in person before), the Spirit walked down the stairs gracefully and stood by the end of the table.

"I am the Spirit of the Hotel", he said. "You may call me Ludwig."

"I shall go in now", said Singularity to Alzis, as his spirit detached from the mind of the demigod. "The Proxy shall be revealed."

---

…

[Kaidou]

For a brief moment, the blackness of Singularity's spirit hovered behind the throne of that one guardian, before dissipating and re-forming itself beside Alzis in a semi-physical form.

"One more thing", said Singularity to Alzis, "feel free to do whatever you wish now, but be warned; the Spirit of the Hotel is not one you'd like to mess with on a whim, weak as he may look. Though he'd probably be equal to you, you'd probably be left with quite a few bruises.

"And furthermore, tell the Tenshi to bear in mind that I am not on their side. I am merely opposed to Maju, as he is turning out to be quite the brat. However, I will not actively help in any of their endeavours until I deem it time for Maju to end."

With that, the spirit of Singularity dissipated, leaving Alzis alone on the other side of the visual.

The Moon Sisters were among many to be surprised to see the holy spirit take on a physical form. "An eight tenshi? I suppose events have spiral out of control for us to need an eight, a shame that soon we will be searching for yet another seventh tenshi." Artemis stated, not at all going to enjoy going through the process of finding yet another new member so soon.

From the other side of the window Alzis saw Singularity give away on who was the Proxy. "Figures that the one who shares the same race as Maju would be the proxy. You have my thanks dragon and I will take heed of your warning." Once Singularity was gone Alzis was able to have some time to think on what to do now with the new information presented to him.

"Nice of your abyssal friend on helping you out with whatever it is he was helping you with." Alzis was quickly reminded that he was not alone as Elizabeth too was watching the meeting and also saw Singularly for the brief moment he was visible. "He may have domain in the abyss but I wouldn't begin to place him on the same level as the abyssal lords quite yet." Alzis said, using his telepathic powers to share to Elizabeth what was going on with the Tenshis.

The other mage whistle. "So they have a turn coat in their ranks and his boss decided that he out lived his usefulness, kinda reminds me of someone I know." Alzis didn't even bother responding back to the Englishwoman due to that remark. "The fact that we can hear the meeting means that they can probably hear us." Elizabeth smirked once she heard about the window being about to channel sound into another dimension. "So do you want to expose the proxy now or are you going to keep that to yourself until you can make some sort of profit out of it?" Elizabeth questioned.

Alzis shrugged. "I could do the latter but right now I don't see too much for me to gain for doing so." Alzis turned to Elizabeth. "If you want you can accompany me on this little trip." Elizabeth refused immediately, no doubt sensing that Alzis may be leading her into a death trap. "Then watch me from this side while I save them all the trouble and reveal the proxy for them." Alzis then called out for the sisters to make the window into a portal.

At first nothing happen, it would appear that the sisters chose not to listen to that request. Alzis poke the window with his finger and it went inside, the sisters did heed his request after all. Alzis stepped inside and was in the center of the meeting. "Speak now Alzis, the only reason we allowed you in here was because you have a method on revealing the proxy to us. Show us who is an agent of singularity or else we will make sure that this first visit for you is you're last." The sister threaten, once more each sister continuing the sentience after the other one finish their line.

Alzis took out yet another truth teller and walked over to Illushu, breaking it in front of him like Father Christmas. "Tell us, do you work for Singularity and if so what reasons do you have for working with him?" Alzis heard the sisters mention if he has any more of the truth tellers as they wish to use it on him. "I have one left on my person, but my followers would have more."

"Who are you?" asked Illushu, "und vhat are you doing?"

That same moment, however, he clutched the armrests of his throne as he made noises which made it seem like he was choking. With the exception of Ludwig (who maintained his calm yet steely manner), all the other Tenshi glanced at the Tajiu in shock as he quivered in his chair.

He eventually calmed down enough to speak, however, and walked over to the table where the Spirit stood. Placing his Hammer on the table, Illushu turned to face the other Guardians.

"I am Singularity's Proxy", he said, his twang suddenly deserting him. The rest of them stared at him blankly, without so much as a trace of shock (though they all felt the same way).

"When I first accepted the offer to wield the Hammer, my main focus was still to watch the blood line of Revik Hyaakudzhu, for they showed an immense amount of inherited magical sense. I could not bring myself to destroy the line outright, for there were, for sure, innocents within it.

"However, it got out of hand, and Tajurai, otherwise known as Maju the Sorcerer, was born. It was then that I realised that I could no longer fulfil my duty as a Class III Tajiu Elder. No, I had to enlist the help of one who opposed Maju.

"And who better than Singularity?"

With that, he stumbled back into his seat, before slumping back onto the cushion.

"Vhat… vhat vas zat???"

Before Alzis can speak he heard Elizabeth yelling out from the otherside of the window. "That was a spell that he stole from me!" Alzis sighed after her outburst. "Besides what Ashwood said it was a truth teller, an artifact imbued with a geis to make those tell the truth and should they resist the geis will active, causing them intense pain until their will breaks and they obey the spell." After he was done talking the mage from the otherside began to speak. "And he reveals how it works cause stealing it from me wasn't enough." Alzis turned to face the window and Elizabeth.

"You remember that I know every single spell and ritual back in our world, therefore this home-brew spell that you claim is you'res is something that I knew long before your ancestors walked the Earth. The only reason I even touch your messy style of magic is because it is useful to my cause." As the rumored demigod-like mage and the Englishwoman argue about who has the actual copy rights to the truth teller the Moon Sisters ignored them as the shock of Illushu being the proxy still hasn't worn off yet.

They snapped back to reality when they saw that Elizabeth not only stepped through the portal but was about to fight against Alzis, their argument was about to turn physical. "Oh for the love of... Would you two stop fighting like children!" Selene shouted, using her powers she made the two of them paralyze on the spot, they even sent Elizabeth back to the arid world. The sisters turn to look at Illushu, they only gazed at the man for a few seconds before they forced themselves to look away from him. "Holy spirit, what should we do with Illushu now that he has confessed to being a double agent for Singularity?"

Kyuubi

Kyuubi chuckled, "Good and Evil are Ultimately meaningless. They are for the ignorant. I should know, have lived in both sides of the spectrum. I have obliterated planets, murdered innocents, and have done every foulest deed you could imagine. It was boring. pointless. Then i decided to give Good a try. I saved lives, ended all wars, solved Universal Hunger, created a Kingdom of peace and understanding. i invented many tinkers, cured all diseases, created new planets ressurected the wrongfully slayed and comforted those who mourned. I did every virtuous, generous, good willed and heart-feltdeed you can imagine. But still i was bored. It was then that i came to realize that Good and Evil were Ultimately meaningless. Those who followed either side were doomed to a repitious cycle and would ultimately achieve nothing."

Kyuubi watched as the whole Tenshi and Singularity debaucle unfolded, much to his amusement. Unfortunately, for singularity, Kyuubi was well aware of his involvments, for Kyuubi could sense his energy even when hidden, as he could all beings except for the King. Still, he pretended Z if had seen nothing.

Altyrnia

Altyrnia frowned and turned to the others, "They do realize its practicaly night time, right? or does everyone treat night as day here?" she asked in a gentle tone.
