"Kavi, sister! It's been a while."
[b]Kavita:[/b] *standing up from the couch, making a scowl* You son of a b[b]i[/b]tch...
[b]Vandren:[/b] *suddenly stands up* Heyy! [b]Kaburo[/b]!
*[b]Kaburo[/b] is for sure Kav's brother. Similar features and all. He has medium black hair that's side-swept, with a nearly shaved side. The same pinkish-purple eyes as Kav. Black, leathery, cyberpunk jacket with a white glow, under a black hoodie. Black pants, and short, black combat boots. He replies "Hey Tommy!".
[b]Kavita:[/b] *in a very serious, threatening tone* I said I never wanted to see you again.
[b]Anna:[/b] *attempting to restrain Kav* Relax Kav. Maybe he came to redeem himself or something.
[b]Kavita:[/b] Bullsh[b]i[/b]t!
*Kav takes a few more steps before launching melee attacks at her brother. Punches and kicks just flying towards him, but he casually evades them as if they're nothing. She then jumps on his back, maybe going for some chokehold, but he kneels down and rolls forward, making Kav lose her grip. She bolts right up and tries a unique leg takedown but that fails as [b]Kaburo[/b] simply jumps back. Kav rolls up and repositions herself. Somehow, Cat and Alexa are hearing the tiniest commotion from inside, and walks up towards the slider door.*
[b]Alexa:[/b] *referring to [b]Kaburo[/b]* He just snuck past us. Is he a bad guy?
[b]Cathera:[/b] *shameful sigh* That's Kav's brother; [b]Kaburo[/b]. I always wondered who she hated more; him, or [b]Vandren[/b].
*Kav's right swing gets caught by [b]Kaburo[/b]. He now holds onto her, trying to calm her down, he says; "You're slightly slower than the last time I saw you in battle." Kav quickly frees herself, and as she tries to make another move, she loses a bit of breath, getting down on her knees and letting out raspy breather.*
[b]Kaburo:[/b] *kneeling down, checking on his sister* Relax, sis. I got note from your fight with [b]Clockshot[/b] a while back; screwed your whole respiratory system up.
[b]Kavita:[/b] Yeah..yeah..good to know.
[b]Saitonia:[/b] Mind explaining?

*Kav and her brother stand up, Kav suddenly shoving him. She slowly walks up to Vandren and places her hand on his left shoulder, muttering: "Why do I even-", cutting herself off and walks off a bit.
[b]Kavita:[/b] I forgot y'all had that one bone that sticks out your shoulder. *angrily inhales* Sai, my brother...my brother, first, this ruffian got me hospitalized over a bounty of 200 [b]zepiks[/b]. I remember clearly which crook we were hunting.
[b]Saitonia:[/b] *to [b]Kaburo[/b]* So you're also an independent hunter?
[b]Kavita:[/b] It was 2014. We had to capture this guy who was using [b]Siviurix[/b] body parts as weapons. I held onto him from behind, giving my brother an opportunity to tie his arms and legs, but noooo, he went to stab the guy, and also ended up stabbing me.
[b]Kaburo:[/b] Sis, he was breaking free from your grip, I had to react, I didn't know my blade would hit you as well. Not only that, I did tell you to step back.
[b]Kavita:[/b] Not only that, he used those 200 [b]zepiks[/b] to hang out with a couple of sleazy who-..women. Then he called me and told me he was robbed of the 200 [b]zepiks[/b].
[b]Kaburo:[/b] You denied the [b]zepiks[/b] because you were mad at me. You said: "Take the [b]zepiks[/b]. I don't give a sh[b]i[/b]t what you do with them."*
[b]Saitonia:[/b] Was he in prison like [b]Vandren[/b]?
[b]Kaburo:[/b] No. Nearly though. They mistaken me for a crook several times. Had to show them a catalog of crooks I've hunted down.
[b]Saitonia:[/b] (Wait, me and Aino didn't get a physical catalog.) They must be from South [b]Dyphinix[/b]. Knowing their poor economy, people would kill for even 1 damn [b]zepik[/b].
[b]Kaburo:[/b] One of them was from [b]Dyphinix[/b], west actually. Last I heard about her, she was killed by [b]Spektral Nyterunners[/b].
*[b]Sakiro[/b] lands onto the edge of the outdoor tub, startling Alexa as she gets into a defensive but goofy pose.*
[b]Alexa:[/b] Aaaaaahhhh! Ninjas still exist in the modern ages?! OoOOoOh my goOOoOd hoOoOly crap!
[b]Cathera:[/b] *light snicker* That's [b]Sakiro[/b]. She was a part of a shinobi [b]eraser[/b] empire.
[b]Alexa:[/b] What's a Shinobi [b]Eraser[/b] Empire?
[b]Sakiro:[/b] *landing right in front of the 2* A defunct empire of shinobi [b]erasers[b].
[b]Alexa:[/b] [b]Erasers[/b]? Like the pink rubber objects used to wipe away mistakes?
[b]Sakiro:[/b] Pft. That's one eraser. The other [b]erasers[/b]; us, are a race in a group called [b]Arckyvines[/b]. We have purple eyes. Red eyes are [b]obliterators[/b], white eyes are [b]annihilators[/b], blue eyes are [b]exterminators[/b] though they're extinct.
[b]Alexa:[/b] Oh. I can also see you have robo-like cheek platings the same colors as your eyes.
*Cat slides the door open, and the 3 walk in, making the rest of the group turn their attention to them.*
[b]Kaburo:[/b] [b]Cathera[/b], or should I say, Kitty Cathy.
[b]Cathera:[/b] *rolling her eyes* Getting influenced by [b]Vandren[/b] I see.
[b]Kaburo:[/b] Came back here, to finally see my sister, and also everyone else after a long time, with some new faces alongside. It was impossible during that state of warzone, but I got word that the tyrant himself; [b]Terranova[/b], got killed.
[b]Saitonia:[/b] That was because of me.
[b]Kaburo:[/b] For real? Never in a million years would those divines think a mere being can kill them.
[b]Saitonia:[/b] He once said that only a divine can defeat another divine. I called his crap ripping his head off.
[b]Kaburo:[/b] And no one has heard of you? Saitonia right? Kav told me a little about you.
[b]Saitonia:[/b] Mhm. Apparently I become another tyrannical ruler in the near future. If it's true...I'll do whatever it takes to prevent it.
[b]Kaburo:[/b] Dunno if you'll be able to alter the outcome of that future, but ok.
[b]Kyokia:[/b] [b]Sakiro[/b]! How did [b]Shiani[/b]'s lips taste? Or her stomach? Or cheeks? Or cheek plates? Or hehe, [b]THOSE[/b] cheeks?
[b]Sakiro:[/b] *sort of nonchalantly* [b]Kyokia[/b], step back and simmer down.
[b]Kyokia:[/b] Oh, you're not there?
[b]Cathera:[/b] At least not yet. [b]Sakiro[/b] came from an extremely different environment, most likely where they're not so attentive on intimate relationships.
[b]Kyokia:[/b] There had to have been some intimate relationships in the empire. Perhaps they were kept hidden at any cost. For that new girl [b]Shiani[/b] though..*tempting sigh* I bet you love her [b]Casavatian[/b] accent whispering in your ear.
[b]Sakiro:[/b] *eyes turned to her left as her face flushes purple* Shush, [b]Kyokia[/b].
[b]Kavita:[/b] Kyo, I think you shattered her, she's flushed as hell.
[b]Saitonia:[/b] Okay okay. Leave [b]Sakiro[/b] alone, stop embarrassing her.
*Sai's cator beeps. He pulls it out as sees a message from Saff. It says: "Restaurant date? My body's been handling modern-age food."*
[b]Cathera:[/b] Who is it, Sai?
[b]Saitonia:[/b] I'm going to do normal person activities with Saff to take my mind off this inevitable mainland clash soon to happen. *gets up and exits the mansion*
___________________________________
(Nearly an hour later. Saff has invited Sai to a very mystifying, but eccentric and innovative restaurant located northeast of [b]Sakrisen[/b]. It has a very futuristic, black, blue, and white interior, where guests get to eat inside very spacious pods while ambient music plays. Sai and Saff are seated across from each other, a small table just between them, piled up with normal food, and peculiar dishes that [b]Terranovians[/b] consider "special".)
[b]Saffyre:[/b] So yeah, I'm pretty glad I found a place on my own, since I've let you pick last time.
[b]Saitonia:[/b] Surely. Throughout over 1,000 restaurants in [b]Sakrisen[/b] alone, you managed to find a very bizarre, yet unique one.
[b]Saffyre:[/b] Heard it has faced several innovations since it's opening back in 2000. *picks up an unusual utensil, it's shaped like a fork, but it has a large point that can split in 2s, 3s, and 4s using complex, built-in mechanics* Wait, what are these again?
[b]Saitonia:[/b] I believe they're called [b]culiscepters[/b]. Native to our planet. *sipping a pinkish-red drink*
[b]Saffyre:[/b] I've talked to Aino recently. She's okay, but she told me about a [b]Vaisallon[/b] king who attacked you and nearly killed you, until an older member of their governmental hierarchy stopped them.
[b]Saitonia:[/b] Apparently they know who I am, and what I supposedly become in the future.
[b]Saffyre:[/b] *sarcastically* Wow. More private, time-traveling agents.
[b]Saitonia:[/b] Yeah that too. I overheard them talking about someone who tike traveled to the years I "rule" [b]Saitranovia[/b]. *sighs* Not just [b]Maviko[/b]. *sighs again* I'm also on several hit-lists, they don't care if it's past me, present me, or future me, they want me dead, for the sake of this planet.
[b]Saffyre:[/b] Or maybe for greed or fame. *places her right hand on Sai's right hand* Listen, Saitonia, my [b]eraser[/b] boyfriend, I don't give a damn who comes after you. I'm protecting you, fighting alongside you, until the end. If you do go on a quest to end future you, we're helping you. Can't do everything on your own.
[b]Saitonia:[/b] *smiles* Saff...I said I just want to sacrifice myself, I don't want to sacrifice the lives of anyone else close to me.
[b]Saffyre:[/b] Sai...we'll, yes, me, Aino, Sage, and everyone else, we'd be doing a huge disservice by just letting you do everything. You're not alone, don't forget why while we may be in separate places, we're doing you massive favors. Don't forget why we came together. It's like we were destined by the [b]Arckyve[/b] to come together.
[b][i]*Continuing Below*[/i][/b]
-
Continued Below: Saff takes a fork from Sai's plate, inserts a piece of food onto it and holds it to Sai's face. He pauses for a few seconds before taking the bite. Sai softly takes the fork from Saff. She says "Your turn." Sai places his fork in his right hand and uses Saff's "culiscepter" with his left. He takes a random piece of food from Saff's plate, and holds it up to her mouth. She takes the bite, then chuckles right after. They then look at a TV etched to a wall, showing Channel Lyon 76, rambling about [b]Liomage[/b] being the ruler, and it seems they're not so fond of it.* [b]Saffyre:[/b] Wow. Lyon 76 is enraged. *hears a reporter blurt out "an even worse tyranny than [b]Terranova[/b]", then laughs* Really? A "worse tyranny than [b]Terranova[/b]"? It's only been a day. [b]Saitonia:[/b] Governments and the media on Earth do this as well; gaslighting and forcing ideologies onto people, sacrificing friendships and bonds at whatever cost. Let's see how far [b]Terranoviatia[/b] takes it. [b]Saffyre:[/b] I'll get the [b]zepiks[/b] ready. *Beeping comes from Sai's cator. He answers and he hears [b]Maviko's[/b] voice. He quietly says to Saff; "Speaking of [b]Maviko[/b]..."* [b]Saitonia:[/b] How'd you find my code, [b]Maviko[/b]? [b]Maviko:[/b] [b]Communiscanner[/b] logs. But other than that, have you heard of the SIU? [b]Saitonia:[/b] [b]Saitranovia Investigative Unit[/b]. Yeah. Why? [b]Maviko:[/b] It appears that once this word of future you snuck up into this timeline, they managed to create a file on you. [b]Saitonia:[/b] How the hell do you know? With that, I'm assuming they specialize in time travel. You're at their HQ? [b]Maviko:[/b] Right outside. They do specialize in time travel, foreign weaponry, gadgets, counterintelligence, anti-cataclysm, analyzation within and outside [b]Saitranovia[/b]. They also have foreign versions of the organization, such as CIU, SPIU, EIU, etc. Anyways, it seems they want to carefully watch you so that you don't "evolve" into this diabolical ruler. [b]Saitonia:[/b] I appreciate that, but I'll prevent that on my own. [b]Maviko:[/b] Stop by. They really want to meet you. [b]Saitonia:[/b] *scoffs* Fine. *turns off cator* [b]Saffyre:[/b] I sorta heard what she was talking about. SIU has created a file on you? [b]Saitonia:[/b] Appears so. [b]Saffyre:[/b] What about tonight? [b]Saitonia:[/b] *smirks* I haven't forgot. *Saff bites her lip and smiles as a faint white glow emits from it. Sai looks at a symbol on the wall to his left. It's a divine-like, armored figure with large claws and rows of spiky wings around it's back. Under the symbol, it says "Beyonder" in [b]Arckyvus[/b], though Sai is unaware. Saff also notices the symbol.* [b]Saffyre:[/b] That looks like an [b]Enygma[/b] form. What is it called? [b]Saitonia:[/b] If only I knew what that word in [b]Arckyvus[/b] meant. I'll see what [b]Maviko[/b] wants. ___________________________________ (Later, Sai has arrived to the SIU headquarters, located in west [b]Paladuras[/b]. A large, jet-black building standing nearly 7 stories tall, with light gray, midnight blue, dark purple, and turquoise details neatly etched around the HQ. It's heavily guarded, with unmanned, automatic turrets placed onto small watch towers, and a glowing, turquoise sphere on top of the HQ, which if pressed, activates a force field that guards the entire area. Luckily, the turrets haven't sensed anyone around there as a threat, allowing Sai to easily enter the area and meet [b]Maviko[/b]. She notices him walking towards her, so she stands up.) [b]Maviko:[/b] You're here. Surprised you actually showed up. [b]Saitonia:[/b] Why? [b]Maviko:[/b] Thought you'd be trying to kill more tyrants. [b]Saitonia:[/b] That [b]Vaisallon[/b] King could possibly be one. If there's one goal I'm up for achieving, it's ending the lineage of tyrants. Have anyone in the near future who wants to go down that road, let me be an example that'll force you to turn back. [b]Maviko:[/b] *snickers* Your ambition is impeccable. Follow me. *A turret gets a little to anxious and aims at Sai, but cancels when the 2 enter the HQ. They're met by a female member, a very attractive one that is. She's a pure [b]Terranovian[/b] around Sai's height. Dark blue, long spiky hair with a spiked ponytail. Sandy, olive skin with an aqua blue undertone, and very light purple eyes.* *She wears the standard SIU uniform; futuristic-themed blazers with the SIU logo on the back. High-neck sweaters made of [b]Terranovian[/b] material, also donning zippers. Slim fitted pants, and optional footwear consisting of short, medium, or long boots. The SIU's uniform has to consist of light gray, midnight blue, dark purple, turquoise, and even some black or white, and no other color. The female member wears a midnight blue and black blazer, with a black and light gray, untucked sweater underneath, though it's partially unzipped due to her sizable chest. Light gray pants, and long, black and dark purple boots.* [b]SIU Member:[/b] *friendly tone* Hello Saitonia. Welcome to the [b]Saitranovia Investigative Unit[/b] headquarters. [b]Saitonia:[/b] Hey [b]Maviko[/b], do you know her? [b]Maviko:[/b] Well, "present" me doesn't, yet. *to the SIU member* It's nice to see your face again, [b]Crisha Garis[/b]. [b]Crisha:[/b] *to [b]Maviko[/b], with a look of confusion* Uhhh, you know me from somewhere? [b]Saitranovia[/b]s so big, yet so small. [b]Maviko:[/b] I'm from 2026. You haven't met present me...yet. I'm [b]Maviko[/b]. [b]Crisha:[/b] Nice you told us your name. I was going to inform the Director about some weirdo [b]watcher[/b] outside our HQ. As for you, Saitonia, I'd like to analyze the current you. *Sai is unsure but goes along with it.* [b]Saitonia:[/b] Go ahead. [b]Crisha:[/b] *pulling out a digital pad* We created a file on you after some of us time traveled to the near future, where you supposedly become ruler. [b]Saitonia:[/b] I really don't want to believe it, but how far. [b]Crisha:[/b] Apparently, next year. [b]Saitonia:[/b] What the f-..could have just said next year. [b]Crisha:[/b] Hehe, sorry, had to remember for a slight second. *accesses her pad and presses onto a file for Sai* So Saitonia, you don't have a last name? [b]Saitonia:[/b] Nope. [b]Crisha:[/b] Figures. You were born September 9th, Year 999. Bl[b]oo[/b]d type S1. You're an [b]eraser Arckyvine[/b]; harnessing purple energy in many ways. [b]Enygma[/b] forms include Standard, Fated, [b]Dragonus[/b], Beast, Beserker, Mage, and the forbidden and cursed [b]Exomordia[/b]. [b]Saitonia:[/b] I've yet to capture the Beast, Beserker, and Mage forms. [b]Crisha:[/b] Yeah, these are just the files we got from next year's you. Hehe, I'm no expert on [b]Enygma[/b] forms. *looking at the pad* Your only relative [b]was[/b] a twin sister who's an [b]obliterator[/b]-oh but here it says that she doesn't belong in this reality. [b]Saitonia:[/b] *looking at the pad* Seems ridiculous, and "was"? She's supposedly dead around next year? [b]Crisha:[/b] Says here you killed her. Future you, that is. [b]Saitonia:[/b] Once he steps foot in this timeline, he's mine. [b]Crisha:[/b] I like your ambition. [b]Maviko:[/b] Me too. [b]Crisha:[/b] *ignores [b]Maviko[/b] and continues explaining* Your achievements here are also listed. "Participated in the elimination of [b]Kassiro Emanel[/b], the [b]Spektral Nyterunners[/b], [b]Watcher[/b] 11, and organizations from a different planet. Has also slain the [b]Arckyvus[/b] Divine; [b]Terranova[/b]." With these achievements, I see the infamy in future you seeping into current you, converting it into prestige. [b]Maviko:[/b] What she's basically saying is despite future you being another tyrannical ruler, some will see you as a hero because you've killed another tyrant. *A projector shines 2 beams of red light. 1 on [b]Crisha[/b]'s left side of her face, and the 2nd beam on the right side of her chest. This will foreshadow a tragic event. A male voice calls out "[b]Crisha[/b], look out, we're doing some projection here." In which she replies: "Oops, sorry." Quickly moving out the way. She tells Sai and [b]Maviko[/b]: "Just walk with me."* [b]Saitonia:[/b] So [b]Crisha[/b], how long have you been an SIU member? [b]Crisha:[/b] I'm one of the newest members. Joined last year, at 22. My mother used to be an SIU member, and my father was an SS member. They've settled in a pretty rich neighborhood to the east. [b]Maviko:[/b] (Oh yeah, I remember that.) [b]Saitonia:[/b] You must have some special connections. [b]Crisha:[/b] Yeah. I'm pretty close to some SS members. I'm sure you've heard of the Delta Trio, especially [b]Yaoni[/b]. [b]Saitonia:[/b] Yep. [b]Crisha:[/b] I really enjoy working here, being able to hold the torch that was passed onto me by my parents, it's so marvelous. One thing that sort of scares me is how inhumane the projects and experiments are carried out. We're currently investigating [b]Watcher 11[/b]'s crashed ship within [b]Glaxicai[/b] Sea. Knowing he has carried out scary experiments, we want to recover anyone down there and conduct research, but it doesn't make us any better, you know? We have a distressed woman kept in confinement in the lowest level of this HQ. Wish I can set her free myself, but the Director says she's a hazard. [b]Saitonia:[/b] Us [b]Terranovians[/b] can survive underwater for drastic periods. You really think [b]Watcher 11[/b]'s test subjects could still be alive? Some could've died from -blam!- complications. [b]Crisha:[/b] It's possible. (At the same time, something menacing swims up to the shores of the [b]Glaxicai[/b] Sea. This mutant has a fusion of scaly and furry skin. Whatever it is, it's not friendly.) ________________________________ [b][u]END:[/u][/b] [spoiler][b]Erased....[/b][/spoiler]
