(Sai and [b]Esadius[/b] have returned to [b]Terranoviatia[/b], and Sai has managed to meet several new faces. Suddenly, [b]Terranova[/b]'s ships fly in on [b]Saitranovia[/b], approximately 6 ships, mostly in search of Sai.)
*The 7 jump from building to building as the ships fly around. One ship sees 7 people on top of the buildings, alerting other ships to go faster. The group now has red energy beams coming their way. They continue to leap from building to building, but one lucky energy beam destroys a part of a building that Sai, who was in the front, was jumping to. Sai lands on the top of the building that wasn't damaged as the others join him.*
[b]Virol:[/b] Screw running. *summons a unique, black, red, and gray, triple barreled heavy shotgun* Done with [b]Terranova[/b] and his army.
*[b]Virol[/b] aims at the closest ship and fires, a white beam released from the shotgun that burns the ship just 2 seconds before causing it to explode.*
[b]Casaphne:[/b] My turn!
*She equips the combat knife with her left hand. She presses a button on the knife, then throws it at another ship. As that same ship fires at the group, the knife lands, disabling the ship's systems. [b]Shiani[/b] joins in about to unleash an ability of her own. She stands straight up, her right hand formed into a shushing position. Chunks of purple and red ice form on both sides of the disabled ship. As it starts to freeze the ship, the chunks then collide, smashing the ship into pieces. [b]Casaphne[/b]'s knife appears back into her hand.*
*[b]Maviko[/b] has summoned 4 blue orbs firing at 3 other ships. The orbs suddenly stop firing as she closes her eyes. 5 seconds later, she opens her eyes and the 4 orbs unleash stronger, more intense energy beams that blows up the 3 ships.*
*There's only one ship left. The pilot just decides to ram it towards the group, but as it starts flying down on them, it's caught by some telekinetic force, and is thrown many miles away. The group gets out of their fighting stances.*
[b]Esadius:[/b] C'mon now. Some of us barely stepped in. This the best that tyrant has?
[b]Casaphne:[/b] Please! I thought [b]Terranova[/b] died in that explosion that ended up pushing us 2 hours back.
[b]Aguiro:[/b] Who threw that ship? Seems like telekinetic force.
[b]Saitonia:[/b] Hmmm...I think I know just who.
*A hook-shaped energy wave slashes at the group, but they managed to evade it, instead causing a massive cut that caves in the building. The 7 jump back down to ground and run through barren roads. Through all the smoke and destruction, they spot a nearly 8 feet tall [b]Aeliaus[/b] lieutenant, shooting at something with their giant minigun. As the lieutenant charges up their minigun for a powerful shot, Sai quickly transforms into [b]Enygma[/b] Form Stage 1, charges up for his own powerful attack, then unleashes a purple beam that penetrates through the lieutenant, killing them.*
*Purple smoke forms as the lieutenant falls. 7 seconds pass and the smoke clears, revealing the [b]annihilator[/b] twins, Cat, and Kav.*
[b]Kavita:[/b] *uncovers her eyes* Whoa...that was a nice save. [b]Aeliaus[/b] are stronger than I thought. *turns back to the [b]annihilator[/b] twins* Sage? Saff?
*Sage and Saff have just taken out a few [b]Zaphscara[/b] from behind. They then slowly turn around.
[b]Sage:[/b] *looking at Saff* That big [b]Aeliaus[/b] has been taken out, a-*looks to see her twin sister with an extremely shocked expression on her face* [b]Saffyre[/b]?
[b]Kavita:[/b] *also looking at Saff* Who--who is it?
[b]Cathera:[/b] Could it be? *activates her sensing* That energy is familiar.

*Sage, Cat, and Kav turn around to see none other than Sai, and the same reaction that Saff has, they have too, while Cat lets out a gasp. To them, he's back, he has retuned home.*
*Saff yells out "Saiiii!" before long jumping and managing to land a hug on him.*
[b]Saitonia:[/b] Hello Saff. I'm back.
*Sage, Cat, and Kav walk closer to Sai, and join in with a group hug.*
[b]Saitonia:[/b] *faint chuckle* How long has it been?
[b]Cathera:[/b] *softly* 10 months dude...
[b]Kavita:[/b] Thought you could've been dead, floating in space, never to be seen again.
[b]Saitonia:[/b] I guess it's the willpower.
*[b]Esadius[/b]' group start to awkwardly look at each other.*
[b]Kavita:[/b] But how do we know this isn't some past or future version of Saitonia? Though what I asked sorta contradicts itself since our Sai is from the past, and so is Sage and Saff, but are they considered present versions now since they technically didn't come from a Universal Shift and, wait what? I'm goin' f[b]u[/b]cking crazy!
[b]Maviko:[/b] Trust me, future Saitonia is much, much, much worse. He'd have an army ready for us, with no other thought than serve him or die. This Saitonia...well look at him.
[b]Saffyre:[/b] I had...I had so much hope, so much faith, that you were still out there....and I never lost it. My heart is vibrating so intensely.
[b]Cathera:[/b] I had to catch my breath for a few seconds. Like...Sai...you're actually back.
*The 4 stop hugging Sai and gives him space. Saff looks over at [b]Esadius[/b] and the others.*
[b]Saffyre:[/b] Oh, I didn't notice you all.
[b]Esadius:[/b] [b]Esadius[/b].
[b]Saffyre:[/b] [b]Saffyre[/b], and the other [b]annihilator[/b] is my older twin sister; Sage.
[b]Virol:[/b] Heh, if you didn't tell me that, I would've assumed you'd be the older sister.
[b]Saffyre:[/b] Umm, why? Is it because I'm taller?
[b]Virol:[/b] Not just that, you have a more...enticing figure.
[b]Sage:[/b] *glaring at [b]Virol[/b] and whispers to Saff* Wooooww...[b]a[/b]sshole.
[b]Saffyre:[/b] *whispers back* Well, he saw that I grew faster than you.
*The others proceed to introduce themselves.*
[b]Cathera:[/b] *to [b]Maviko[/b]* You're a watcher.
[b]Maviko:[/b] And you're a [b]sensitor[/b]. Those hyper-realistic facial features, especially your eyes, give it away.
[b]Cathera:[/b] You are very rare. Last one I've encountered worked for [b]Terranova[/b]. I've managed to defeat her in a brutal fight. That was nearly a year ago.
[b]Saitonia:[/b] *smirks* Where are the others?
[b]Cathera:[/b] [b]Sakiro[/b] should be swooping in, and Van...yeah he's coming too.
*[b]Sakiro[/b] makes her way towards the group with a long jump that lands right in front of them.*
[b]Sakiro:[/b] Took out some of the [b]Zaphscara[/b], a-*spots Sai* Oh.My.[b]Arckyve[/b]. It's really you?
[b]Saitonia:[/b] Indeed, Shinobi [b]Eraser Sakiro[/b].
*As Saff snickers, [b]Sakiro[/b] takes her mask off, pretty flattered, with a shy smile on her face.*
[b]Sakiro:[/b] Hehe...nice little title.
[b]Shiani:[/b] *to [b]Sakiro[/b]* I know I just sorta met you here but, you're quite pretty without the mask.
[b]Sakiro:[/b] *as her cheeks blush purple* Thanks...I get that several times. What was the word again? Pul-something. Your accent is...cute.
*Sai turns to the left to see a shadow of a person walking through blue smoke. He reacts with a quick "Someone's coming.", alerting the group. This person fully exits the smoke to reveal [b]Vandren[/b].*
[b]Vandren:[/b] That looked so badass; walking through smoke. I-*sees Sai* Sai..Saitonia? That really you? And...*looking at [b]Shiani[/b]* got another [b]Spektral Nyterunner[/b]?
[b]Shiani:[/b] Dude that's pretty sensitive. Police and noblemen were actually capturing [b]Spektrals[/b] because they implied that we were all a part of that gang.
[b]Saitonia:[/b] Yess...Tommy [b]Vandren[/b].
[b]Vandren:[/b] Holy sh[b]i[/b]t! Where's Aino?
[b]Saitonia:[/b] That's what I'm asking myself. Can we return to the safehouse?
[b]Cathera:[/b] The normal safehouse or the mansion?
[b]Saitonia:[/b] The mansion preferably.
[b]Cathera:[/b] Great idea. Kav and I have found a new device. It's pretty big. C'mon....
_______________________________________
(Later, the group has arrived to the mansion. They step inside, ready to plan another move on [b]Terranova[/b].)
[b]Saitonia:[/b] Feels great being able to see this place again, and more so the other safehouse.
[b]Cathera:[/b] Here's what we've found.
*She leads the group to the middle of the living room, near the pool, and shows them the [b]Arckyve[/b] Time Pod.*
[b]Cathera:[/b] [b]Arckyve[/b] Time Pod, or ATP.
[b]Maviko:[/b] Wait! I know that thing! Can I look at it?
[b]Cathera:[/b] Sure. If you're an expert, go ahead.
*[b]Maviko[/b] observes the pod, then looks down to check it's settings box.*
[b]Maviko:[/b] This hasn't been set up. It'll take some time for me to adjust and rearrange the pod. Just have to make some adjustments to the settings box, and connect the wires....
[b]Virol:[/b] Sure it won't just be a few minutes?
[b]Maviko:[/b] If I activate the pod just even several minutes after setting it up, it won't function properly. Give it nearly an hour.
[b]Saitonia:[/b] Cool. I'll head to the pier.
[b]Kavita:[/b] You sure? It's still a little heated out there.
[b]Casaphne:[/b] It should be winding down though, so he should be fine.
[b]Saitonia:[/b] I'll be back sooner if I don't see or find anything.

[b][i]*Continued Below*[/i][/b] (Sai has arrived at Pier 906z. It's untouched, some people still freely roam the area, though it's much less than the usual amount of people.) [b]Saitonia:[/b] Still some brave souls, wandering a war-stricken mainland. *A view of Sai walking around is now coming from a dark-tinted vision, on a higher level. He's being watched by someone.* [b]???:[/b] *in a monotone, but mysterious voice* So, this is the "current" you? An upcoming, tyrannical ruler, once a mere [b]eraser[/b]. *Sai walks over to the railings to get a good view of the crystal clear, light blue ocean.* [b]Saitonia:[/b] I see Earth has blue oceans, but are they crystal clear like this? These waters don't get polluted so easily. *Sai hears a sound coming from behind him, so he quickly turns around and activates his [b]Enygma[/b] Form Stage 1, only to see blurry black energy trails come towards him, then materialize into a masked, cloaked figure wearing nearly all black, covering his entire body, no skin exposed. His long sleeved shirt has glowing white lines, and over the shirt, is a long, zipped-up, sleeveless, black jacket with dark gray armor. His mask is shaped like a predatory bird, evil, hooded eyes, and a beak over his nose, which is also covered by another black face mask. Slim, black pants and medium black boots. This figure just stares Sai down.* [b]Saitonia:[/b] *returning to normal* Who are you?! You one of [b]Terranova[/b]'s hired hitmen? [b]???:[/b] Hmp. You don't seem so malign, unlike your future self. I am along the lines of a hitman; more so a freelancing, anonymous assassin. I travel throughout [b]Terranoviatia[/b], assassinating powerful people, for many causes. [b]Saitonia:[/b] Okay...wait, what do you mean that my future self is malign? [b]???:[/b] Your future self is just like [b]Terranova[/b]. The difference is, you're more successful. You've managed to turn half of [b]Saitranovia[/b] against [b]obliterators[/b] and [b]Euchrons[/b]. [b]Saitonia:[/b] [b]Euchrons[/b]? That one governmental faction along with the [b]Galacists[/b]? [b]???:[/b] Yes. You create this [b]Saitranovian[/b] New World Order in order to control the livelihoods of [b]Saitranovians[/b], manipulating everything from what they think to what they can't say. [b]Saitonia:[/b] Sounds like totalitarianism. I do have the rare ATDs so might as well travel to whenever future me rules [b]Saitranovia[/b] and [b]erase[/b] him. [b]???:[/b] I wish it was easy, but...soon, future you will come to this timeline, once several major events have passed. Worse part is, he'll be expecting you to travel to him, so it'll be tiresome searching for him. Besides, don't you have [b]Terranova[/b] to worry about? [b]Saitonia:[/b]....yes. [b]???:[/b] Acquired knowledge on your rivalry with [b]Terranova[/b] in one of your future self's speeches. If you ask me, it's better to focus on problems occurring within your timeline rather than someone else's or previous and upcoming versions of you. That's something [b]Terranova[/b] and future you refuse to understand. [b]Saitonia:[/b] You're from this present? [b]???:[/b] Yes. I'm "[b]Xyinz[/b]", and that's only an alias. [b]Saitonia:[/b] Then what's your real name? I'm good at keeping secrets. [b]Xyinz:[/b] That's classified. No one gets to know. [b]Saitonia:[/b] Okay "That's classified", what are your intentions with me? I'm one of those powerful people you plan to assassinate? [b]Xyinz:[/b] Yes, and I've thought of others such as that Gladiatorial King of [b]Vaisallon[/b] Regions. I intend to end you while you rule this mainland, so when the time comes, just be ready, because you'll have many foes willing to eradicate you, but only one ends up successful. [b]Saitonia:[/b] Is that a warning? I've fought [b]Terranova[/b] and I'm still here, and soon, he will be [b]erased[/b]! You wouldn't make a difference! [b]Xyinz:[/b] You're another statistic, but you're the luckiest. Many, possibly even more powerful than you, have stood up and challenged [b]Terranova[/b], but they've all met their impending doom. I'll be hoping you have enough willpower to finally end him. *[b]Xyinz[/b] becomes a blur as runs off in black energy trails.* [b]Saitonia:[/b]....I don't have to kill [b]Terranova[/b] to prove anything to you, I will kill [b]Terranova[/b]..for me, my family, friends, everyone on this planet, even for the damn universe. _______________________________________ (Nearly an hour later, Sai has returned to the mansion. He spots [b]Esadius[/b] outside the slightly opened door.) [b]Esadius:[/b] So what happened? [b]Saitonia:[/b] Nothing much. Didn't really find anything resourceful. I did however, encounter this weird, mysterious guy who works as some anonymous assassin. Says he has intentions on killing me once I "rule" [b]Saitranovia[/b]. [b]Esadius:[/b] So it's not just [b]Maviko[/b]. I have several questions for her. [b]Saitonia:[/b] Is she done with that time pod? [b]Esadius:[/b] Yeah. They're actually coming up with a first objective. [b]Saitonia:[/b] What is it? [b]Esadius:[/b] Saving this sister of yours. That [b]Cathera[/b] came up with it. Oh and, there's 2 other people she knows, also wondering about you. [b]Saitonia:[/b] *smirks* She read my mind. C'mon. *The 2 enter the mansion to see everyone together, in the living room, but Kyo and Anna have joined them.* [b]Kyokia:[/b] If Saitonia has actually returned, how do we know it's not some past past or future version of him? *scoffs* I need a look for myself. Vanishing for like 10 months, I'd think he'd be dead, then someone else would have to step up, but not only we don't know how long that will take, it's like 50/50 if they'll actually save us. *While rambling, Kyo is unaware that Sai is behind him. Anna looks up and sees him however, and gives a smile and a wave.* [b]Kyokia:[/b] I don't want to think about that risk, uh yes, hello Anna! Wait! *turns around and sees Sai, as he becomes filled with shock* [b]Kavita:[/b] I asked the same thing earlier. That is, our Sai. [b]Saitonia:[/b] Hello, coffee maid [b]Kyokia[/b]. [b]Kyokia:[/b] Oh my! He-hello! [b]Maviko:[/b] No army, no malicious intent on us. That's your Saitonia. [b]Kyokia:[/b] Well, *turning back to the group* now he's back, let's start with saving Aino. *Red lights gleam far from the mansion, attracting the group's attention as they all stand up.* [b]Sage:[/b] That looks like it's all the way northwest [b]Sakrisen[/b]. [b]Anna:[/b] To think [b]Terranova[/b] could've been dead too, his damn army returns. [b]Virol:[/b] They attacked us earlier, and it looks like he sent in more. [b]Saitonia:[/b] Let's see what he brought in this time. He has always brought in much more than just minions. _______________________________________ (The group has arrived northwest [b]Sakrisen[/b], where they come across several more of [b]Terranova[/b]'s ships, but...one is much, much bigger than the others.) [b]Cathera:[/b] Whoa, that's a very massive ship. What's in there this time? *The bottom of the ship opens up, and out comes a dragon. 25 feet tall with a wingspan of 46 feet. It's dark red with tints of dark teal.* [b]Vandren:[/b] THEY HAVE F[b]U[/b]CKING DRAGONS TOO?! [b]Casaphne:[/b] I thought Sky's pet shop only had dragons! When did they get their hands on some?! [b]Virol:[/b] They're [b]Descenscia[/b] Dragons. Born in the [b]Descendant Hollow[/b]. They can grant you a variation of an [b]Enygma[/b] form, if you manage to absorb enough of their energy. [b]Saitonia:[/b] Well then...let's steal some of their power. *The dragon starts flying towards the group's direction, letting out a piercing roar.* _______________________________________ [b][u]END:[/u][/b] [spoiler][b]Erased....[/b][/spoiler]
