(With much thought put inside, Michael has chosen option B to tell Caius of what Ruby has done.) (Pushing Ruby aside, Michael storms out of the room without saying a word, getting as far away from Ruby as he can. Heading to the Broken Shrine, a location within the singularity top where Caius spends most of his time, Michael enters the location with sword in hand.) Caius: *stands up from kneeling down at the shrine*. "You should really announce yourself Michael, it is impolite to disrupt a prayer." Michael: *approaches Caius*. "Forgive me, I have unsettling information and came to you as fast as I could." Caius: *turns around to face Michael*. "You did not seek to bring this information to Reign-Beaux instead? He is in command while I deal with the Asterisk realm." Michael: "Once again, forgive me. This information must be brought straight to you and I do not trust Reign to tell you." Caius: "Hm, what is it that is so troubling to you?" Michael: "It's Ruby, she has plotted against your rule and made a connection with the Vasto Lorde." Caius: *walks up to Michael and grabs his shoulder*. "Are you certain? This is not something you should joke about...." Michael: *nods at Caius*. "I am certain. Ruby approached me to try and get me to join her in defying you." Caius: *steps back slightly, thinking hard*. "I see. Honestly I should not be surprised at her defiance. Very well, we must act immediately if we wish to survive." Michael: "What is your plan?" Caius: "You will see...." (Activating a dark power within his body, Caius opens a portal in the room made of darkness and summons Death and Saitonia.) Death: *walks out from the portal of shadow and gazes around the room*. "The Singularity? Why did you summon us Caius?" Caius: "I am afraid our worst case scenario has come to pass. We must execute our back up plan." Saitonia: *standing behind Death with a black hood covering his eyes*. "Interesting. Your orders then?" Caius: *grabs a massive battleaxe that is propped up against the shrine*. "All of the divine will be on high alert, they will deal with the intruders on the lower levels. No mercy, no prisoners, they all must die. As for Ruby, Death and I will find her." Michael: *curious tone*. "What about Sai and I?" Caius: "Both of you head to the lower levels and join the other divine in their hunt against the invaders." Saitonia: *nods at Caius*. "Heh, looks like I'm your enemy this time Bat...." Caius: "There is no time to waste. Make haste and do what I command." (Following Caius's orders, Saitonia and Michael exit the room. Meanwhile, Reign-Beaux has received a message from Caius about current events. Doing as Caius commands, Reign sends out an alert to all the remaining divine and the singularity goes on high surveillance. All of the divine now abandoning their positions and seeking out the players.) ----------------------------------------------------------- (Group 2, still in the great hall of the castle after the fight with Konama.) StoneFlare: *examining Konama's body*. "Too bad we couldn't have acquired his help...." Worm: "It's fine man, we'll get through things no matter what happens." Jay: *grips the hilt of his sheathed sword as he feels an enemy presence approaching*. "Wait! There's something coming, something strong..." Rex: "You idiots! I knew we shouldn't have stayed in the same place for so long right after a loud ass battle." (From above on the 2nd level looking out at the great hall below, Braxus the kind of the castle on Level 11 of the singularity reveals himself. His appearance is dressed in bright medieval knight armor, a tall crown on his helmet the shape of a crescent moon, and a long black cape on his back with the symbol of the moon on it. In his right hand he wields a long sword that glows bright green, in his left hand is a medium knight shield.) Braxus: *snickers at the sight of the players*. "So! It seems Caius wasn't wrong that there are ants within his realm." StoneFlare: *looks up at Braxus from below, raising his guard*. "Damnit..... This is not what I wanted..." Virus: "Aw, guess we won't be exploring the castle." Braxus: *examines the players with his eyes*. "6 disgusting humans, 2 robots. I'm disappointed, at least none of you are girls." Worm: "Uh, what does that mean?" Braxus: *jumps down from the lookout and slams on to the wooden floor below*. "Girls are weak, pathetic, they cannot offer much of a challenge compared to men." Jay: *whispers into Worm's ear*. "Sexist much?" Braxus: *readies his sword and shield*. "Perhaps the two robots will offer me a fine duel. We shall see." Worm: *activates his enchantment rings around his wrists*. "Why don't you tell us who you are first?" Braxus: *touches his crown with the tip of his sword*. "Isn't it obvious? I am the king of this castle! I am a divine, the almighty Braxus!" Jay: *draws his sword from his hip*. "Well then, let's see what you're made of." Braxus: *notices Jay's sword*. "Oooo, nice sword. SoulEater is it? Yes, that sword belongs to Reign-Beaux." Jay: *widens his eyes in curiosity*. "Reign-Beaux is here?" Braxus: "Indeed he is, I'm sure he will be looking for all of you. However, he will be disappointed as your journey ends here by my blade." Jay: *lifts his sword*. "No, I think you're gonna be the one that's disappointed. I'm gonna show you what I'm really made of...." Worm: *places his hand on Jay's shoulder*. "We'll take him together." StoneFlare: *looks to Worm*. "I'm helping in on this fight, this guy is a divine afterall." Worm: *nods at Stone*. "So let's go." (End of Part 4)
