(At the citadel of noblemen hunters, [b]Izalles[/b] walks through the entrance, and upon it, she sees a front desk noblewoman, signing fellow noblemen in. A Caucasian-[b]Terranovian[/b], scarlet eyes, glossy, dark blue hair in a thick ponytail, and layers of hair over her face, and blue, genetic marks on her lower cheeks. Sleek, gray glasses, and a silver face mask hung below her chin. From view, she wears a silver jacket over a black dress shirt with a gold nobleman sigil.)
[b]Front Desk Noblewoman:[/b] *looks up at her as she lets out a slight smirk* Ahh, [b]Alascia[/b], buenos dias! ¿Como está?
[b]Izalles:[/b] Ummm...bien? [b]Yukra[/b], you do know I'm Italian-[b]Saitranovian[/b], not *faintly shaking her right hand* Spanish...[b]Sagavelian[/b].
[b]Yukra:[/b] Oh, my bad. Buongiorno, [b]Alascia[/b], come stai?
[b]Izalles:[/b] Ehh, buono? *nervous laugh* I wasn't born in [b]Tararechi[/b], let alone Italy, and I barely know any Italian.
[b]Yukra:[/b] *chuckles* Well then. In case you didn't know, we stopped using the body scanners to sign noblemen in. Instead, we're using this. *shows her a black, tablet-like device with a blue screen*
[b]Izalles:[/b] Why?
[b]Yukra:[/b] Complications since last week.
[b]Izalles:[/b] Oh. No wonder why you'd freely let us through.
[b]Yukra:[/b] Place your dominant hand on these. It...scans the glow.
[b]Izalles:[/b] Okaayy....
*She places her left hand on the tablet. It successfully scans her in.*
[b]Yukra:[/b] You're in!
*The door behind [b]Izalles[/b] automatically opens, and she turns to see [b]Kuroda[/b].*
[b]Izalles:[/b] [b]Kuroda[/b].
[b]Kuroda:[/b] Hey.
*He also looks at the desk in confusion.*
[b]Yukra:[/b] *eyes looking up at [b]Kuroda[/b] as she replies energetically* Mr. [b]Salvarez[/b], hello!
[b]Kuroda:[/b] Hey [b]Yukra[/b]. Weird seeing you at the front desk, weird even seeing this front desk.
[b]Yukra:[/b] Yeah sorry. Complications with the scanners. Signing in with these tablets now. Use your dominant hand, scans the glow.
*He places his right hand on the tablet, and it scans him in.*
[b]Yukra:[/b] Alrighty!
*[b]Kuroda[/b] and [b]Izalles[/b] turn to their right to see [b]Irenade[/b] walking in.*
[b]Yukra:[/b] [b]Irenade[/b]. I just realized this is half of Unit 32. Weird coincidence?
[b]Irenade:[/b] Maybe. We're scanning in with that tablet thing now?
[b]Yukra:[/b] Yep. You'll have to place your dominant hand on it, whichever it is.
[b]Irenade:[/b] *extremely appalled reaction* [b]Yukra[/b]...you know me, and you know what happened to me.
[b]Yukra:[/b] Oh....what?
[b]Irenade:[/b] Are you for real? I don't have a right arm! *places her left hand on the tablet, as it scans her in* Ugh!
[b]Yukra:[/b] I was being sarcastic [b]Irenade[/b]. *nervous laugh*
[b]Irenade:[/b] Yeah...I bet.
*[b]Tarano[/b], [b]Lancis[/b], and [b]Triapika[/b] walks in on their other half of the unit.*
[b]Lancis:[/b] What's up?! Who pissed off [b]Irenade[/b]?
[b]Yukra:[/b] I was joking about her having both arms, using whichever hand was dominant to place on this tablet.
[b]Izalles:[/b] Nothing much important. Let's see that [b]Triaryin[/b] quest we had.
[b]Irenade:[/b] And please, no f[b]u[/b]cking barons.
*Sai and [b]Esadius[/b] enter the citadel.*
[b]Yukra:[/b] Uhhh, are these noblemen too?

_______________________________________
*Unit 32 turn towards Sai and [b]Esadius[/b], faces filled with complete surprise. [b]Tarano[/b] and [b]Triapika[/b] gaze at [b]Esadius[/b], while the other 4 look at Sai.*
[b]Lancis:[/b] Saitonia? You're back?
[b]Saitonia:[/b] Yes indeed, Unit 32. No other version unknown to you.
[b]Izalles:[/b] Where's your sister?
[b]Saitonia:[/b] Looking for her.
[b]Tarano:[/b] *glaring at [b]Esadius[/b]* You shouldn't be here [b]Esadius[/b].
[b]Triapika:[/b] *menacing tone* Hello, uncle.
[b]Saitonia:[/b] Whoa. What a way to meet each other...again I guess. [b]Esadius[/b], I knew you told me about a guy and your niece being noblemen but...I didn't expect you to have history with [b]Tarano[/b], and your niece to be [b]Triapika[/b]. Must be the long purple hair you both have.
[b]Tarano:[/b] Yeah. I knew him since his run with the Blackcore Vultures. I heard about his face being mutilated by that entity. I didn't see you when our units were assigned to eliminate all of you. We went everywhere. How's your face?
*[b]Esadius[/b] removes his mask, making the other 5, and including [b]Yukra[/b], grossed out by the sight of his face. [b]Triapika[/b]'s expression changed to a glare the next second.*
[b]Esadius:[/b] *sigh* Yes. This is what that porcelain b[b]i[/b]tch did to me. [b]Tarano[/b].....it's been what? 14--15 years?
[b]Irenade:[/b] Did you consider surgery... depending on the severity?
[b]Esadius:[/b] It was horrid, but it managed to heal. *eyes turning towards [b]Triapika[/b]* Tria, niece, it's been a while.
[b]Triapika:[/b] *deep sigh, followed by a soft growl* Fu-*grunts* Uncle...do you know...how close they were..to rejecting me, because of blood relations with you?
[b]Esadius:[/b] They actually look into your ancestry when you're becoming a nobleman hunter?
[b]Tarano:[/b] Not too deeply. I remember you mentioned having a sister who has a child, though [b]Inovani[/b] forced you to spill some of your family members, and use that against you to try and put you in the facility.
[b]Esadius:[/b] I. Hated. [b]Inovani[/b]. Corrupt noblewoman to the core. *looks to see Tria, breathing to conceal her anger* Tria...
[b]Triapika:[/b] I...was belittled, slandered, and demonized by other noblemen, who even managed to hear about me being related to you. "Why would The Monarch allow someone who's family member is a part of one of the deadliest gangs in [b]Saitranovia[/b], to become a nobleman hunter?" *chokes up, trying to prevent herself from crying* It really took my unit...and The Monarch, for everyone to shut the hell up about it.
[b]Izalles:[/b] I do recall you punching a nobleman in the face just by them mentioning the Blackcore.
[b]Triapika:[/b] I really just- *raspy sigh as she fiddles with her hair as glowing, dark blue tears stream down her face*
[b]Kuroda:[/b] *sighs* Sai, I think you should lead this guy out.
*[b]Esadius[/b] kneels and grasps onto Tria's left hand using both of his hands.*
[b]Esadius:[/b] Niece, I highly regret my past, never knew it would affect you. You should be lucky and feel great. You're 22, 23, in an organization that deals with genocidal, villainous freaks of our planet. When I was your age, I was robbing banks and infiltrating facilities. I mean, I'm not old, especially for [b]Terranovians[/b]. *stands up and hugs Tria*
[b]Triapika:[/b] *faint scoff* I..guess it feels great seeing you...doing good for once.
[b]Esadius:[/b] Maybe you should invite me to a quest someday.
*Simultaneously, from [b]Tarano, Lancis, Kuroda[/b]*
[b]Tarano:[/b] Maybe.
[b]Lancis:[/b] Yes!
[b]Kuroda:[/b] No.
[b]Esadius:[/b] Well okay.
[b]Saitonia:[/b] Great seeing you, noblemen. I have a divine to [b]erase[/b].
*Sai and [b]Esadius[/b] exit the citadel.*
_______________________________________
(Nearly an hour has passed and [b]Kavilis[/b] returns to [b]Terranova[/b]'s new lair. As he walks further, something has caught his eyes, causing him to stop in his tracks. His eyes look up to see a disturbing fusion of [b]Deminova[/b] and [b]Shizaki[/b]. It has [b]Deminova[/b]'s face with [b]Shizaki[/b]'s hair and broken eyepiece. [b]Deminova[/b]'s chest and arms, and [b]Shizaki[/b]'s lower half of the torso. [b]Shizaki[/b]'s thighs, and [b]Deminova[/b]'s lower legs and feet. Though leaned onto the platform, it's height seems to be around 7'5.)
[b]Terranova:[/b] *emerging from the darkness* Do you like it, [b]Kavilis[/b]? Meet...[b]Shizanova[/b].
*[b]Kavilis[/b] sends no reply, just looking up at [b]Shizanova[/b] in shock.*
[b]Terranova:[/b] Scared? I don't take scared servants. You're one of my best, much better than the other 4. Too bad they effortlessly died for me.
[b]Kavilis:[/b] You couldn't use necromancy to bring back [b]Shizaki[/b]? You couldn't just heal [b]Deminova[/b]? You're...you're twisted.
[b]Terranova:[/b] Careful. I'll make you suffocate on those words, [b]Kavilis[/b].
[b]Kavilis:[/b] It's true, and you're too blinded from your ego to see it. You promised you'll do what none of the other divines have done and change the planet for the better, your first step was genocide towards [b]erasers[/b], consider yourself lucky when you invited a few anti-[b]eraser[/b] goons to help us. I knew if I, or anyone else, were to oppose any of your plans there, you'd [b]obliterate[/b] us. Hell, you're thinking to yourself, "Why does majority of this planet still hate me? I just want to reshape [b]Terranoviatia[/b]?" Renewal, hmph!
[b]Terranova:[/b] And that is still the plan-
[b]Kavilis:[/b] No..what have you done in the other 7 mainlands? Nothing. You attack [b]Saitranovia[/b] just to spite your sister, that's what your whole plan was built on. No wonder [b]eraser[/b] genocide is one of your pivotal goals; you put a planet and it's timeline through hell, all just to spite your damn sister. We were too scared to oppose you, because we know what will happen going against a tyrant like you. Then when you're so close to completing your plan, you just dispose of us, like those revenants you killed.
[b]Terranova:[/b] This is a divine you're insulting! Be thankful you're still alive. Where would you be had I not offered you a position?
[b]Kavilis:[/b] Not in your grasps, and at least not led to my death by you. That old story about the Subjugator and the Liberator, really ties with you and that Saitonia.
[b]Terranova:[/b] I'm done with this traitorous backtalk.
[b][i]Continuing Below*[/i][/b]
-
Damn. I forgot to make this a question post. Eh.
-
[b][i]*Continued Below*[/i][/b] *[b]Terranova[/b] summons his Judgment Bane, but [b]Kavilis[/b] dashes at him in the blink of an eye, and fires a curved energy beam from his hooksword that barely damages [b]Terranova[/b]. [b]Kavilis[/b] runs out of the lair, possibly escaping [b]Phathinton[/b].* *[b]Terranova[/b] angrily grunts. He then hears moving from behind him. He sees [b]Shizanova[/b] making it's way up to it's feet.* [b]Shizanova:[/b] Terraaaa.... [b]Terranova:[/b] Yes...it's your master. Now..I command you to hunt that traitor [b]Kavilis[/b] down. *[b]Shizanova[/b] gives a slow nod, then exits the lair.* [b]Terranova:[/b] As for you, [b]Ainotias[/b], have you been watching? [b]Ainotias:[/b] *emerging from the darkness* Yes master. [b]Terranova:[/b] Until further notice, track down those divine time devices and destroy them! _______________________________________ (Later, Sai and [b]Esadius[/b] return to the mansion, consisting of the [b]annihilator[/b] twins, Cat, Kav, Van, [b]Sakiro[/b], [b]Virol[/b], and [b]Maviko[/b].) [b]Kavita:[/b] Vanny boy, your hair has been getting longer, have you been mistaken for a woman? [b]Vandren:[/b] No Kavi, have you been though? [b]Kavita:[/b] Oh you- even if I was...and we were in a relationship, wouldn't that make you... *Kav bursts out laughing while Cat giggles. The [b]annihilator[/b] twins join in. Kav then takes several raspy breathers.* [b]Saitonia:[/b] *looking at Kav and Van* Sounds so much better when you 2 are joking around and not bickering at each other. [b]Maviko[/b], accessing the time pod. [b]Maviko:[/b] Great, it's been waiting for you anyways. [b]Cathera:[/b] Oh Sai! Finally using that time pod. *Everyone approaches and stands over the time pod.* *Sai enters the pod, while [b]Maviko[/b] closes it and puts on some headgear used for communication. Sai is now partially in a stasis as he's transported into a simulation.* _______________________________________ (Inside the simulation. Sai appears in the streets by the plaza in [b]Sakrisen[/b].) [b]Maviko:[/b] Saitonia, can you hear me? [b]Saitonia:[/b] Yeah. Where are you? [b]Maviko:[/b] I'm in your head. You're not fully in a stasis, as everyone else can hear you talking and see your mouth moving. You're just...in rest mode. [b]Saitonia:[/b] Okay now, are there any more differences with being in this pod and using a time device? [b]Maviko:[/b] Slide your finger down, any finger. *Sai slides a finger down and is met with a map displaying the location and the current time; 12:03 P.M.* [b]Saitonia:[/b] Whoa...okaayy. [b]Maviko:[/b] I'm sure you know the basics of traveling to certain years. Ones highlighted in white are unaffected, blue are future years, orange are the years that a Universal Shift occured, red are the years that were negatively affected...aannnd inaccessible. [b]Saitonia:[/b] Do you have a time device? [b]Maviko:[/b] You want the normal one, or the divine one? [b]Saitonia:[/b] I'm hunting down [b]Terranova[/b], so use the divine one. [b]Maviko:[/b] Luckily there's a slot to insert an ATD. You might receive some information in the top left. [b]Saitonia:[/b] Top left? *looks to the top left to see a setting for the date, displaying the current one; February 24th, 2018* Oh. [b]Maviko:[/b] Check your inventory. *An inventory box shows up at the bottom middle of Sai's vision. It contains only the divine ATD. Sai presses on it as the device appears in his hands.* [b]Saitonia:[/b] Wow. To start, I think I remember where [b]Terranova[/b] was supposedly settling in; that moon [b]Phathinton[/b]. [b]Maviko:[/b] How are you starting? [b]Saitonia:[/b] Last I remembered, it was around...May 5th of last year, that I ended up on the planet [b]Offtopica[/b]. My guess is that he retreated to that moon around that time. [b]Maviko:[/b] You don't have to try and fly up there, I can teleport you. [b]Saitonia:[/b] Go ahead. [b]Maviko:[/b] I love the assistant headgear on these ATPs. *Sai sets the device to May 5th, 2017, around 8 P.M., and pushes the device together. While that, he is teleported to [b]Phathinton[/b], and behold, he spots [b]Terranova[/b], creating a lair with his own energy, while Aino, who's several meters behind him, watches.* [b]Saitonia:[/b] There he is.... [b]Maviko:[/b] Whatever you do with that device, do not press that silver-outlined button. You'll actually appear and they'll spot you. [b]Saitonia:[/b] Ok, but I'm in a simulation right? Even if they kill me, I'll just reappear. [b]Maviko:[/b] Yes, but a very very very realistic one. Don't take this kind of risk. [b]Saitonia:[/b] *sighs* I'll be fighting a divine for the second time, but okay. [b]Terranova:[/b] [b]Ainotias[/b], can you feel someone there? [b]Ainotias:[/b] No master, not at all. [b]Terranova:[/b] Hmp. I'm no [b]sensitor[/b], but I can surely sense a disturbance. Maybe I'm becoming deranged. [b]Maviko:[/b]....yeah...ATDs and ATPs give off powerful energy presences. You think this is enough information? [b]Saitonia:[/b] Yeah. You can teleport me back to [b]Terranoviatia[/b] now. *He's teleported back to the planet, on a glowing blue hillside in northeast [b]Sakrisen[/b]. Sai sits down.* [b]Maviko:[/b] You can slip under out of the simulation with one of those options instead of me having to pull you out. Slide your finger down--wait no! Up! Bottom left. *Sai slides his finger up and sees 2 options: "Teleport to Current Location: Yes/No", and "Exit Simulation: Yes/No".* [b]Maviko:[/b] Before you choose an option, can I ask you about something? [b]Saitonia:[/b] Sure. [b]Maviko:[/b] You know about time scrambles? [b]Saitonia:[/b] Oh yeah. Irregularities in a timeline that one is transported to. [b]Maviko:[/b] People debate that timelines always display the original state, but that's debunked. Time scrambles cause a timeline, or a specific year or day, to display a rigged state. [b]Saitonia:[/b] How would you know? [b]Maviko:[/b] Look up. Do you see a red wormhole? [b]Saitonia:[/b] *looks up and indeed sees a red wormhole* Yes. [b]Maviko:[/b] That's when a specific year or day has been tampered with enough, and so, it forms that red wormhole. [b]Saitonia:[/b] How do you get rid of it? [b]Maviko:[/b] *with excitement* Hehe, this is why [b]Chronovoux[/b] is my favorite [b]Arckyvus[/b] Divine. Turn the edges of the device back, it should make it glow blue, then aim it at the wormhole. *Sai follows the procedure and sees a blue energy beam emit from the device and hits the wormhole, disintegrating it. The world around Sai becomes an abstract, light blue background before returning to normal. Though it looks the same, the wormhole has vanished.* [b]Maviko:[/b] Well, looks the same, but at least the wormhole's gone. Speaking of, [b]sensitors[/b] can sense when a timeline has been tampered with, and they'll get intense migraines. I used to barely be able to distinguish a [b]sensitor[/b], but not only they have super hyper realistic facial features, but they also have a glowing facial undertone the same color as their eyes, hence [b]Cathera[/b]'s glowing green undertone. [b]Saitonia:[/b] Cool. Well, I'm exiting the simulation. *Sai presses the icon to exit the simulation.* _______________________________________ (Back inside the mansion. The pod opens up and everyone gives Sai space as he steps out.) [b]Saitonia:[/b] Alright you all. Some of us aren't here, but from what I've recovered, [b]Terranova[/b] is residing on the moon [b]Phathinton[/b], and he's using my sister as a slave. Let's hope he doesn't have another army to rain down upon us, because tomorrow, we're rounding everyone up to assist me in this one final quest, you slip behind the rest of the planet, and take out any of his remaining servants....while I [b]erase[/b] that tyrant, for everyone, for my parents, for Aino,...and for the timelines. He has nothing now, barely anyone else left to cover him, and no divine abyss to retreat to. [b]Terranova[/b]....there's no escape. _______________________________________ [b][u]END:[/u][/b] [spoiler][b]Erased....[/b][/spoiler]
