"Origins Unmade 3: Future Usurped" (MEGA Roleplay) (Trisell)

INTRODUCTION
“Can you hear me, Mother? I’m going to make you proud. I’m going to hurt you. I’m going to hurt everyone who was ever born. I know where to go and what to do. The foolish woman is going to make her move, but I know where she is and how to stop her. I know that there is a single root that holds all the others. I’m going to take it, Mother. I’m going to make you, them, everything, mine.”



The groups of warriors had vanquished her plans only for a delayed moment in time. She had done much in secret, but the interruption she expected the most had arrived. “Your element does not work here,” She called as he approached: the power prepared readying to launch.



“Neither will yours,” He shot back.



“You want this! You’ve wanted this since the beginning! Will you live with yourself knowing you lost it?”



“… No, I probably won’t… but better my happiness shatter than the countless lives you put in jeopardy.”



The battle ignited. Neither used the energies they could. They relied on combat prowess for the first hour, but as desperation neared, only one’s temperament was rising critical. She rose her weapon and channeled the element of existence. Within the second, all that once was…



… all that should have been…



…was being usurped.

START
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Your town, your plane, your house, wherever. All that is noticeable is the strange silver storm in the sky. To your left comes a flying figure in grey. He wears purple and has large lens-like eyes with pale-yellow egg-shaped hands. He calls out to you while fixing his crown upon his head.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">WHAT HAPPENS NEXT IS UP TO YOU

Asonja
A grey hedgehog with a black trench coat was looking out his window from his apartment. He was questioning the figure and the sky. "Hmmm," he thought to himself. "Perhaps the weather called for snowfall or an overcast tonight?"

He had also noticed the figure again, this time with closer detail. "What is he even doing on the road..." he asked himself.

The short man suddenly appeared inside of the building. "Great danger!"

The hedgehog yelped and fell backwards along with the chair, his right leg deciding to twitch afterwards. He groaned and tilted his head up to the finger. "What danger? That I almost had a heart attack?"

"Everything!  We must depart!" He grabbed for Asonja's hand.

"Uh...alright? But I haven't had my breakfast yet..." He says, but insists on going along with the figure.

The short man teleported the both of them outside. Around the entire area were buildings and people, fading out of existence. To the far distance stood a brown wolf. He was running toward them.

"Uhh...I hope that thing won't hurt me..." Asonja nervously pointed to the wolf.

"A thing?" Urd glanced over to the wolf. "Ah!  Haste!"

"MOVE!" The wolf waved. "MOVE NOW!"

Asonja yelped and did as he was told, as he moved sharply to the left. "Is this good?!" He called out to the wolf.

The expression on the wolf's face implied not as just before the entire area vanished, a rectangular shadow lunged at Asonja, the short man holding out to block the strike. Then, everything turned to a white emptiness.

Asonja had winced and shut his eyes prior to the attack, but opened his eyes a bit to find the white void. "Uhh...what happened...? Where am I?" He asked himself, looking around for anyone in particular to talk to.

Chapter One: From the Void
Silence save for the wind. In front of him lay the egg-shaped pale yellow hand that once belonged to the short man.

"Geh!" Asonja jumped back upon seeing the hand. "Okay, I'm glad I didn't eat anything today because I would be throwing ever single particle of it after seeing that..." He says as he looks away and begins to pale. He walked around, away from the hand, to examine the situation he is in.

No matter how far he walked, he didn't seem to go anywhere. It was all white, and the further he went from the hand, the more he found his own body begin to fade.

Asonja yelped again and went back to the hand. "W-what is happening?!" He looked at himself and then to the hand again. "This is freaking me out so hard right now..."

As he got closer, he found his body reforming. The hand had power. The hand was tangible.

He had noticed this, as he had picked up the hand nervously. "Please don't come to life and strangle me...I've already had enough horror movie nightmares..." He was entirely grossed-out by the fact that he was even holding the hand, but looked at it anyway.

 Perhaps he could effect them .

He tensed at the new energy increase, and looked at the statue. He clenched his right hand, where the new hand had formed into him as he walked to the pieces. "Hmm...could I...?" He wondered as he tried to lift a piece of it with his right hand.

The statue didn't move, but it did glow for a very short moment.

'''<span style="color:rgb(0,176,80);text-indent:-0.5in;">Additional powers include the ability to create some structures from the ground, and some redesigning of matter, but only to the extent of changing something to a different version of itself. '''

In the near distance next to the statues is the body of a wolf mobian. He isn't moving.

Asonja just now notices the wolf and had walked over to inspect the body. A lot of questions were in his mind, but remained quiet. He then looked at the statue again, as if he was wondering what he could do with it, if he could turn it into anything that is.

The wolf groaned slightly but before he could wake,a scream came from the far left. A hedgehog... or something like one, grey with red eyes.

Asonja, the other hedgehog, shot up and looked at the grey hedgehog. He seemed to go in front of the wolf as if to protect him for a while. With enough courage, Asonja spoke, "Could you tell me what's going on?" He was speaking to the wolf.

The wolf didn't appear conscious enough to respond, but the hedgehog-like creature was charging toward Asonja.

Asonja flinched a bit at this and looked at the statue pieces. He then thought of building a wall in front of him to protect him from the what-seems-to-be-dangerous hedgehog charging at him. He held out his right hand to the statue pieces and tried to manipulate a wall.

The ground began shifting, a wall of the strange sand-like ground forming upward but puffing into a pile as the hedgehog collided, sliding across the ground with a growl.

Asonja yelped and accidentally tripped over the wolf when he backed up. Now that he knew what his new hand does, he took it into consideration, but he figured he wouldn't live to study it more.

The hedgehog quickly recovered. "Wretches still CLAIMING the right of tol- FLANDER- graps!" His head shook wildly as he swiped at Asonja, his body seeming to be deteriorating.

Asonja was shocked, scared, and confused as he crawled away from the hedgehog. He was screaming a bit himself.

The hedgehog reached out, his hand stretching to impale the side of Asonja's chest.

He rolled to dodge the attack, and grabbed the hedgehog's arm with his right hand. He made sure to clench it as hard as he could so the hedgehog wouldn't attack.

The hedgehog jerked back at the grabbing, but his arm detached from it, dissolving. His remaining arm glowed as he prepared to fire something toward Asonja.

Asonja tried to think fast, and what came into mind was another wall in front of him, but this time he attempted to make it out iron or steel. "I may not be a fighter, but this is all I come up with..." He muttered to himself. "Perhaps I should take this time to think of a strategy..."

The wall formed again, turning slowly to a metallic structure just as the hedgehog fired. A scream came then silence.

Asonja jumped a bit at his success and the scream. He slowly approached the wall and looked around the corner, very slowly as well.

A gasping head and part of a chest remained from the hedgehog, shaking slightly before vanishing entirely.

"Jeez..." Asonja muttered as he looked quite disgusted. He looked at the wall he created and tapped on it, as if verifying that the wall was complete iron. "It's completely packed with all the contents of steel...this is incredible." He looked at his right hand, that had all the power. "I can create anything from existing matter and make it into something else..." He clenched his hand for a moment before looking up back at the wolf.

The wolf remained, but suddenly he could see three doorways. Two of them were unstable, broken, but the first was glowing and steady, a red and purple glow at the center.

Asonja was confused at these new doorways that had just materialized. He went to the one that glowed, obviously the only choice available.

He could faintly see the image of a pale tan area, dust settling everywhere, and objects floating in a sky. At least it was somewhere to go.

Asonja studied his surroundings and looked up. He couldn't see exactly the top, but was curious to know. The first thing that came to mind was to build a staircase up to the closest object in the sky. He tried to image a wooden staircase going up to the first, large object that could sustain his weight. He was already having second thoughts as he was very afraid of heights, but decided on making the staircase anyway.

The staircase appeared as he stepped through the doorway but could not be sustained on the other side. Thankfully, he found himself floating upward and downward repeatedly in a slow motion, back and forth in a range of three or four stories.

The air was hot, and large flat and crusted surfaces distinguished themselves from the clear floating circular areas, larger than a city's distance, to his far front.

Welcome to Faretess
"Amazing..." Asonja says, putting his hand over his eyes to get a slightly better view. "Perhaps there's some lifeforms here? I could answer that myself, but how do I get across over there?"

Pieces of rock floated about the air, going up and down with Asonja. There were definitive pathways seen in the far distance near the closest city building, but nearby was a sideways floating transport of sorts. It was shaped like a trapezoid with a long clear visor.

"Hmm..." Asonja thought to himself as he began to make his way to the nearest pathway as carefully and quickly as he could. He didn't want to look down, as his heart rate increased just thinking about the thought of suddenly falling to his doom.

He was able to move slowly there though it would take at least ten minutes.

Upon calculating that time in his head, though being slightly off a few times, he grumbled and stopped. He crossed his arms as he tried to think of a faster way to get to the city. He had the vision of boosters on his feet, but he shook his head at the thought as he assumes it's too dangerous and could knock him off the edge.

He could travel to the transport in lesser minutes, or attempt to use the sand clouds around him to form something.

(I'm replying between new videos I'm watching because I'm also drawing something.) (Alright)

Upon contemplation, Asonja nods to himself as he used the sand clouds to form what appears to be a black hoverboard with a Gyroscope inside to reduce the motion so he wouldn't get sick. He steps on the board and kicks off to the city at a much faster pace.

It didn't take long for him to near it. He could see a field blocking the top unclosed area, barely revealing the inner-city. There must be a doorway on the sides, near the pathways themselves.

Asonja studied this fact quietly as he reverted his path toward the sides. He finds the pathway and decides to take it, increasing his speed a bit.

A pad formed as he arrived. A doorway formed at one of the paths. A voice called out in what seemed to be a Chinese dialect, but the words were different. They repeated in different languages before finally going to "Welcome to District Fo."

Asonja came to a stop slowly, jumped off his board and kicked it up so he carried it under his shoulder. "This is nuts..." He says to himself as he walked and looked around the city that was known as District Fo.

Inside were various mobians, but only a semi-hundred in total. The gigantic citadel of a city held various metallic stations that seemed to be planets. Plots of green land in squares were about with trees, and everyone had red and purple markings.

(Tha's all I can do for tonight.  Neck's hurting.) (Aight. Night)

"Jeez..." Asonja said to himself, looking around and taking notes in his head. "Is this what it feels like to be a foreigner?" He asked himself quietly. He kept his board tightly under his shoulder, and he was thankful that it was light.

Some of the people glanced over to him as he made his way about. "Hello," One greeted.

"Hello there." Asonja greeted back, giving the greeter a nod as well. He looked back in front of him to walk and looked around some more. "I could get used to this too..."

"You aren't carrying anything with you, are you from here?" The greeter asked, this being a purple lizard female.

He looked at the purple lizard for a moment before looking back ahead of him. "Well, not really. All I have is my hoverboard. I quite like the scenery, though. I might just live here."

"Oh?" She pointed toward the center pillar of the city. "You'll want to go inside if you want to register a house then."

"Alright, thanks a lot!" Asonja nods and smiles a bit, politely. "What's your name by the way, if you don't mind telling me?"

"Mastrin," She answered. "You?"

"Asonja." He held out his free hand for her to shake. "Pleasure to meet you, miss."

"Pleasure as well," She shook his hand with a smile.

"Well, I'll be taking my leave. I hope we'll meet again someday, Mastrin." And with that, he waves, gets on his hoverboard and made his way to the center pillar at a comfortable speed.

Soon he was inside. Various stone art was about for support beams along the walls. He saw many booths along the inner walls with people talking with what appeared to be staff members.

He didn't seem to say anything at first as he nervously gripped his hoverboard until he politely asked, "E-Excuse me...do you know where I could live around here? I just arrived here from a different location..."

"Oh my..." The teller leaned forward, peering at Asonja. "You have no markings.  You must be from a different zone aren't you?  Fascinating... You want a house here?"

He nods. "Yes please." He was slightly nervous since he wasn't like everyone else, but he remained calm regardless.

"Alright, you'll need to fill this out," He handed him a sheet, but the sheet fell to the ground.

"Oh...uh...okay." He went down to pick up the sheet of paper.

As he rose up again with the paper, he found that with the sound of a husk's faint gasp, the teller was gone.

"Uhh...where'd you go...?" He says quietly before sighing and looking at the paper.

The paper was no longer in his hands. No one else seemed to have vanished.

Asonja sighed and walked to someone else to ask the same question, "Excuse me, do you know where I could live around here?"

"In the city?  You should speak with a teller," he pointed to one of the booths.

"I thought I did earlier, but they disappeared." Asonja responds. "Including the paper."

The man chuckled. "What?  Where?"

Asonja sighed again and said, "I'll just talk to the ones at the booth."

"Alright then," The man rose an eyebrow before walking onward.

He goes up to the booth, and politely asked, for the third time, "Do you know where I could live in this city? I recently just came here from...elsewhere."

"Do you want a house or a motel?" the teller asked.

He thought about it, but then decided the least expensive. "A motel?"

"Alright, you'll need to fill out this form," He held out a form.

"I hope it won't vanish on me..." I muttered very quietly to myself as I looked at the form to fill it out normally.

Unfortunately the writing was in some foreign language.

"Geeh..." Asonja looked at the form, already having a headache. "Is there an English version of the form?" He flipped the form over on the back to see if it changed.

Further writing in the foreign language was on the other side.

"Here," The teller stepped back, going through something on the side before pulling out another form. He handed it over to Asonja. It required information on his origin zone, format of travel, and contact information for family and/or friends.

He filled out as much as he could, but left the contact information blank. "Alright. I think this'll do."

The teller took the form, glancing it over. "Alright, take this," He handed him a metal plate. A screen was on the front showing various housing areas.

(Drawing something.  Once finished, I'll head on minecraft.) (Understood)

He took the plate and looked it over. "Sweet. When and where do I need to pay?"

"Payment isn't required," The teller shook his head. "But you should pick a spot."

"Oh. Hmm..." He studied it for a moment, and picked on that looked similar to the one he had originally. "Right here."

"... Alright," he reached over, pulling off a piece of the screen and handing it to Asonja. "You can find the building with this."

He took the screen questionably, but with no argument. He did ask, "How does it work?"

"Put it in one of the tunnel transports, and it'll drive you to it."

"Alright. Thanks." He bowed a little bit, though it probably wasn't necessary, and he walked out to search for a tunnel transport.

Transport doorways could be seen at the four outside corners, various people walking through.

He used his hoverboard to go to the closest one. He got off his hoverboard once getting there, and held up his screen piece a bit, wondering where to put it in

The doorway opened up to what seemed to be an elevator. Some seats appeared in the walls.

He walked into the elevator-like contraption, and sat down in an empty seat in the back. He kept his hoverboard close to him like it was his most prized possession.

The plate lit up for a moment. "Is this your destination?" A voice called.

He looked at the plate for a moment, before nodding. He didn't want to look like an idiot for being a foreigner.

The voice repeated the question, not able to hear his nodding. (X{D)

(Yup, that's why I put that) "Eh? Uh, yeah. It is." He grumbled a little bit to himself.

Soon the transport was on its way. The voice offered selections of music, scenery, and window mode.

He looked through and chose some rock music, and a twilight area with some storms in the background. "There we go."

The time it would take for the area to be reached would appear every thirty seconds, passing through the environment, but while the screen remained in the twilight scenery, and the music played, the time informant was no longer there. For some minutes it wasn't there.

"Uhhh..." Asonja looked confused. "Anything happening?" He mutters.

No response came.

He was confused, very confused at this. He decided to wait more.

Minutes continued to pass. The time still didn't come. The more it lasted, he noticed it didn't feel like he was moving anymore.

He got up and noticed that. "Huh...I thought I was moving a second ago..."

The exit door was available.

Asonja walked out of the door, keeping his screen and hoverboard with him. "Is this the place?"

He was in the middle of an open flat plain. Houses, and other buildings, were nearby but... half...there.

He sighed and scratched his head. "Well, I guess I'll look around for the right building." He mutters to himself and goes onto his hoverboard to look around for his motel.

He neared the buildings. He heard nothing at first but voices started up as he got further in the city area. Footsteps, conversations, people sipping drinks but no one in sight. One voice seemed to be greeting him for a moment as it passed by, quite close to his person.

He had jumped a bit. "Uhh...Hi." He responded back, only because it was polite. He had no idea if he was invisible, or just everyone else was. He couldn't wrap his mind around that. (Fixed it, sorry)

Something bumped against his hoverboard for a moment. He saw a tiny bit of clothing, walking past, like something had blotched from touching the hoverboard. Something affected by it.

Asonja had thought about that for a moment and looked at the clothing to see if he could remember anyone wearing it. He then looked at his hoverboard to see if any mark was left before he would come up with a plan to fully expose the person.

The hoverboard remained unchanged.

Asonja looked confused, but since he doesn't like to socialize that much with people, he continued on his way to find his motel. He didn't want to cause a scene or anything, despite the fact he wasn't invisible like everyone else.

As he continued,the buildings seemed to be slowly vanishing, as if the entire area was turning into the white void of before. He started to see through the floor, into the sand cloud planet surrounding the city.

"GAH!" Asonja yelped and hopped on his hoverboard. "This is freaky! What am I supposed to do!?"

Use the power

(Remember, he has the power to change something into a different version of itself, such as turning it back and forth from what it was)

(I was thinking about that, but I didn't think that was possible. But now I know that it is. I apologize if I don't understand much of this, it's a bit confusing here and there.)

(It's all good.  The first part is meant to be confusing.  Things will be more explained later on.  If you could have him trying to change something in the city itself, that'd be appreciated though.)

(I'll see what I can do)

Asonja, after through some careful contemplation, decided to change the structure of a house by giving it a black coating of paint, colored glass windows, and a wooden door to make it look like a Gothic building. At least, that was his thought.

The house vibrated against the changing. At the same time, something else was trying to resist it: two different forces, one from the house, and one from elsewhere. Asonja could feel a faint link from part of the wall of the house that had yet to be changed either way, that could be salvaged and reformed to a previous version. It needed to be remade.

He moved a bit to get a better view of the wall, and once he caught the link, he tried to reform that part of the wall with obvious signs of confusion; he was just doing what the voice in his head was telling him.

The metallic white shell began to spread from the original wall, pressing against one of the forces as the first began to help. The white emptiness began to push against the reforming houses, pushing against Asonja's grip.

Asonja only pushed harder, groaning a bit as well. He held up both of his hands and maintained his posture and grip.

His hands began to glow as, like a cork popping off a bottle, the change rocketed over the house, turning it back to the appearance of the previous ones he had seen. It began to spread further over the area, reforming over the ground, and the people about. The mobians walked about, talked about, but did not appear to notice the change at all as they were saved.

Asonja panted heavily, his hands lowering and he falls to his knees. He gripped his chest, trying to catch his breath. "Phew...that was...close..."

"Are you quite well?" Someone asked from behind him.

He took deep breaths and got up, along with his hoverboard next to him. "Yes...I am fine, thank you for asking. Just out of breath."

"Alright," Mid sentence a screech came out, the area rippling as a purple and black matter was beginning to spread over people in the distance. "Have a good one," the mobian said before walking onward, completely oblivious.

Asonja jumped a bit on the screech, and didn't question why no one notices this. He saw the matter, but didn't know whether it was a good idea to run or not.

As the matter began to spread over the people, they started to change, their skin and fur becoming a murky dark purple, their eyes a bright green. They started to make their way toward Asonja.

He grimaced a bit, got on his hoverboard and made his way away from them. "Jeez, they're just like zombies! And I hate zombies!"

He could feel them around him, spreading around. He could feel where they were coming from. He was going to be surrounded unless he found the source, which by the sensation was coming from the very top of this floating city.

He stopped his hoverboard and got up, only to feel the source. He takes a deep breath, grabs his hoverboard and uses as much core energy as he could to jump as high as possible. At his maximum height, he got back on the hoverboard and blasted off as fast as the device could go.

(Going straight up?)

(He's going at a narrow angle, but he'll be going straight up once he gets up to the building or whatever that is there. Like a curve. Sorry, I meant to put that.)

(It's all good)

Figures of these unmade mobians began chasing after him, those unable to fly jumping out windows after him.

As he was climbing up the building and grabbing the side of the board tightly. He dodged, weaved, and swayed to dodge the mobians; he had no intention of hurting/slicing/killing them despite them wanting to kill him or they were falling to their presumed "death"

He was at the top of the floating city now, a large aura of the energy surrounding it. Despite being the smallest of them, it was still large enough to fit a wide neighborhood. There didn't appear to be any outside entrances. He would have to find an alternative way in, or break though.

Of course, not wanting to waste time, he decided to break through by creating a cut and spreading the cut so he could get in. Straightening his board and himself, he put his left hand over his right arm and attempted to turn it into a sharp black blade.

The metal was incredibly durable but slowly grading away.

Once he made the cut, he pushed apart the large aura just enough for him to fit through. He tried to pull himself up as well as push away the aura. He had to use his core for more strength.

The walls opened up, alarms starting with wires sparking upon his entrance to the floor of a long dim--but easily visible--hallway. Red ceiling, dark purple walls, grey floor; couches next to each set of doors. No one in sight.

He makes contact with the floor, putting his hoverboard under his arm again. "This seems suspicious...this is too easy." He muttered.

He could feel the aura further down the hall to the left.

Asonja slowly and carefully followed the aura. He had his eyes narrowed and his glasses close to his face. "I gotta keep my guard up regardless..." He muttered again.

As he went, he saw purple and red designed doors at the end. Before he could make his way toward him, a spike of the signal started up around him, and soon, he felt himself slipping to the left. The building was tipping. The city was falling.

He stabilized a bit by stabbing his arm-sword into the wall a bit. "What the...?!"

It was swaying back and forth, thankfully not tipping enough to go topside. He needed to get past those doors.

He growled, with the objective clear in his mind. He balanced himself while he put his hand to the door and twisted the handle.

The door flung open. Inside was a large open room, windows lining the high high ceiling. At the far back was a red glowing orb encased in a series of containers. In front of it was a figure, with the aura slowly beginning to form over it. It was red with various markings,  She was not conscious of her surroundings at the moment, for the moment.

Asonja slowly approached, putting his hoverboard behind him to spawn a strap to carry it. Now he was able to use both his hands to approach. He had some impressions that he knew her, but was just having a slight hunch. He shook it off and continued.

Sparks kept trying to go into the glowing orb from the body, stopped by the aura.

"Hey..." Asonja said sternly with bits of anxiety and fear. "What're you doing...?" He stood at a good distance away from her, trying to keep an intimidating look.

The figure wasn't moving, but the aura was spreading.

"C-could you uh...stop doing whatever you're doing? Everyone's turning into, uhh...purple and black zombies." Asonja stated, obviously not knowing what he's doing.

The figure did not appear to be conscious at the moment.

He walked up to her and poked her shoulder, before realizing that she wasn't conscious. "Huh. Guess I was talking to a brick wall." He grumbled before looking at the orb. "Maybe her lack of consciousness has something to do with this...?"

The strange aura was moving toward the orb, trying to get at it.

"Hmm...what if I...?" He reached for the orb, attempting to grab it so he could move it away from the aura.

Immediately as he touched the casing around the orb, a blast of heat shot him back some feet to the floor. A wailing scream started up as murky bleeding dark purple eyes forming around the figure.

He groaned in pain from the blast backward, but managed to get back up to see the figure again. He wasn't as stable as before because of the blast knocking the wind off him. "Now that's...just a horror show..." Asonja said quietly, trying to catch his breath again.

Bone-like murky purple wings sprang out from the back of the figure as they tore upward to the ceiling, heat and fire forming around them.

YOU ARE FIGHTING "UNMADE FARENSAI"

The entity didn't appear to be at full power. It fired a concentrated beam of fire toward Asonja.

He quickly moved out of the way, and changed his hoverboard to two black shortswords. "As much as I hate fighting," Asonja says, tightly gripping the hilts of his swords. "I got no way of getting out of this via negotiation."

The Unmade Farensai continued to spread the concentrated fire toward him while flying toward him, a clawed arm readying to strike.

Asonja moved around constantly, preparing to block the beam and the claw if necessary.

The claw slammed down at him as the entity circled him rapidly.

Due to his lack of combat skill, he couldn't block it correctly. The claw struck down his chest, creating a rather deep gash.

The force seemed to spin him back as the figure crouched to the ground, seeming to pant as the heat faded a bit. The entity was drained partially.

He was partially uncomfortable for a moment before taking his sword to the figure's head to be as intimidating as possible. "Mind telling me what's going on here?"

The hand of the entity took hold of the sword to crush it. '''It seemed the entity wouldn't be able to respond in the current state. The core was unguarded.'''

He looked at the orb, taking his guard off the figure on the ground in front of him. He was analyzing his surroundings for a while.

The orb still remained unguarded in its container, but with the lack of action, the entity had recovered, sending out a burst of fire.

It was until Asonja noticed the fire as he moved to the side, closer to the orb. However, his arm got hit with the fire, as it made him wince while he made his way to the orb to shatter it somehow. Though, he didn't exactly plan how to do it.

The entity snatched at the back of Asonja's head to throw him away from the orb.

He grunted and took off his trench coat to continue going for the orb. He thought on how to break out the orb. (Sorry, I missed that before)

The entity rushed around him, creating a ring of fire to block the orb, a vibrating hand sending sparks of fire throughout.

Asonja backed away from it, grumbling again. "Dang it...I have to distract her somehow..."

A spread of flame began to fill the floor as the entity paused to recover again.

"Gyah!" Asonja began to bounce around, trying to avoid the fire. He still remained fairly close to the orb. "Drat! I can hardly focus like this!"

He needed to break the orb out and purify the infection going after it.

He brought out his sword and swatted as hard as he could to break the barrier around the orb. He just prayed that it would work.

The barrier cracked, but it wasn't damaged enough quite yet. The entity recovered, the floor returning to normal though still quite hot. Beams of fire began appearing throughout the room at random.

His clothing started to get a bit drenched from the fire as he blocked himself with his other sword so he could bash at the barrier some more.

The container cracked once more. The pillars of fire began to swarm Asonja as the entity sent him crashing upward through the ceiling and on to the roof. The building was still falling, swaying, but there were some footholds around.

He flailed about in the air in a major panic. He grabbed on to the edge of the roof to get himself back up. "Grah! Come on!" He yelled as he brought himself back to his feet, only to slide back to where he was shot up from the pillar of fire. "How am I going to get back down to that room...I don't even remember what floor I was in..."

The ceiling bursted open again, some feet from him, with the entity rocketing out with a pair of massive wings, circling him with a trail of fire. The hole was quite large, large enough to get through.

"Well, I have no chance of beating this figure like this..." Asonja muttered. "Guess I gotta break through and fall down that hole..." He charged through the fire, wincing as he didn't expect to fall so soon.

The entity chased after him, sending a burst of heat to shoot him back out.

He used his swords to block the impact, and attempted to deflect it to the right.

Immediately the heat began to build up on his sword as another burst started to close in on him from the opposite direction.

He turned around and tried to block that one, but he was a bit too late as the heat hit him hard in the chest, knocking him downwards.

The mix of pressure sent him to the side before he fell back inside, next to the core.

He groaned in pain as he limped back up. He saw the core in his sights, and gripped the hilt of his only available sword. "One more should do it..." he growled before swinging the sword one last time, as hard as his body could let him.

He smashed the container just as the entity landed. It was slowing for a moment, needing to recover. He needed to purify the orb.

He thought of a way to try to purify it, so he tried to absorb whatever was in the orb into himself. Though, he was already having second thoughts as he seemed to have paused to think.

Immediately the matter being pulled into him began pushing back, burning at him.

He winced a bit. He focused on the link, and tried to reform it back to its normal empty form as hard as he could.

The entity paused as he did this, beginning to vibrate, clutching their head, screaming. The aura began to scream out as it faded. A burst of heat shot out as it finally dispersed, the red orb remaining as the entity collapsed, the corrupted wings fading away.

Asonja panted a bit and went to the figure to check her pulse. "I hope she's not dead...what was that anyway...?"

The core slammed into the body of the entity suddenly as a fire expanded outward slowly.

Asonja backed up quickly. "Shoot...this isn't good..." He muttered. "I gotta find a way to fix this."

The body stood up, red and dark red scales forming on the body of the figure. She opened her eyes, clear symbolic pupils looking about as the fire subsided. She glanced to Asonja, now in the full appearance of some kind of black and red lizard.

Asonja seemed a bit more calm, but still a bit uneasy. He just glared back, with obvious bits of fear. His trench coat was singed on the floor, as well as his regular clothes was damaged. He did not dare speak a word until the atmosphere lessened in tension. "Who...are you?"

"... Mysl Farensai," She answered before stepping toward the container that held her core previously. "... No," immediately she rushed through the wall to the left, outside.

"H-hey! Get back here! I still got a few more questions to ask!" Asonja ran out the door to try to follow her.

Outside flew some kind of figure carrying a similar orb, this one a light pure purple. Mysl disregarded Asonja's call, jumping off to fly after them, though the speed she attempted was significantly lesser than before.

Asonja took a few deep breaths, ran to a window and busted out of it. He turned his sword into a hoverboard, got on it, and attempted to catch up to her. He tried to use as much energy as he could within him now; he was afraid to use all of his core.

Mysl tried to shoot a burst of fire toward the figure, but from the lack of energy, she was too slow. The figure was getting further away with the other core. In the far distance was some kind of portal.

He met up beside her and said, "So let me guess; this thing possessed you or something?"

She turned to him with a look of fury for a split second before bursting forward again, still trying to catch up to the escaping figure.

He sighed and picked up the speed. "Guess I'll have to ask later..." He muttered to himself while he sped past Mysl and tried to stop the escaping figure in its tracks. Though, he wasn't exactly sure how to do so.

As he slowly started getting closer to the figure, it clung to the core, beginning to form pillars of stone to launch back at him.

"Gah!" He had to slow down to dodge the pillars, and once he did, he growled and attempted to get back to the figure.

It was nearly at the portal at this point.

"Dang it, we're not going to make it time..." Asonja grumbled as he tried one last thing; strike the figure down, or at least try with his spare sword (Sorry, I forgot to place that detail.)

The collision of the sword and the figure's backside caused it to stagger, dropping and slowly for a short moment.

"Gotcha now!" Asonja did another swipe, making sure it would cover a lot of the figure's surface area.

The figure circled around, his hands full. He was forced to toss the orb in the air while charging to swipe at Asonja in retaliation.



He wasn't expecting for the figure to fight back, so he almost stumbled off his hoverboard, but managed to hold onto it while hanging off of a high altitude.

The Unmade swung its bound arm down at Asonja as the purple orb was descending toward them both.

He grimaced as he turned off the board and fell away from the attack, only to get back on the hoverboard to shoot back up to the figure. He noticed the orb and went to catch it; he thought that the orb was important to the figure, but he wanted to know why.

The figure was preoccupied with attacking Asonja, and missed the orb. Upon contact of it, Asonja could feel the earth around him. The stone air froze around them instantly.

This made him go still for a moment, staring at the orb. He was completely speechless, as he couldn't seem to wrap his mind around the orb's function, or purpose.

The metallic cuffs of the figure were coming down at Asonja's head just as a burst of fire launched it back into the portal.

This made Asonja jump and look behind him to notice the figure going into the portal. He still gripped the orb tightly around his right fist. "What the heck was that thing..." he finally managed to say.

Mysl slowed as she arrived before directing the both of them to a nearby floating piece of land. "I do not know.  If it took our cores, it must be after the others," The purple orb ripped from Asonja's hands, floating away back to the first building.

He watched it float off, seeming to blink a few times. He hasn't said a word for a while, until he spoke up. "What're we going to do, then? I can't even defeat that thing, to my knowledge."

"You were able to delay it at least..." She noted, seeming half in thought. "Where do you come here from?"

"Well, not from around here." Asonja rubbed the back of his head. "Let's just say I'm practically the only Mobian in my world who knows what a core is. Aside from a few exceptions..."

"Hm..."

A cracking noise started as stone began to become pulled around. More and more pathways were designed around as the area was being reformed. Asonja could feel himself being called back to the original location, the void area where the statues once were.

"Well, this isn't good..." Asonja said to himself. "I gotta find a link somewhere yet again for the third flippin' time."

"Come with me," Mysl directed, making her way back toward the citadel-like structure.

Asonja nods and flies along at the same speed as her with his hoverboard. I don't understand... Asonja thought to himself. ''How did I get into this mess? Why me, out of all people? I don't even know how to defend myself, for crying out loud; yet, I make myself into someone worth noticing. I don't get how people think...'' He sighed audibly and continued flying along with her.

"We have portals between the different worlds of this zone," She explained as they arrived. A set of gigantic glowing doorways were seen. One white, but the others crumbled. Mysl paused at this. "These are... not meant to be like this."

"Shoot..." Asonja grumbled. "Does that mean I have no way of getting out of here if I wanted to?"

"Well there is the undamaged one," She noted.

"True, true." Asonja went up to that door. "It was like this when I got there." He paused and spoke again. "So, uh...is this the last time I'll be here?"

"If you were able to get in here before, you can get back probably," She noted. "I have to make sure things are stable here.  We should discuss... everything, once I'm certain the danger is over."

"Alright. I'll see you later then." Asonja says as he opened the door.

He soon found himself travelling through a hallway of light. A vision played in his head as he went.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">A decisive slice into the black-road armor sent yet another challenging would-be-conqueror to the ground. His name was Arktaxi, and he thought he was very important. He received a grim reminder as his body split apart, and the last moments of his consciousness fell on the cold, indifferent, stare of the black and red reptile. She looked up from his dead body, to the army of heavily-armored followers: having previously been thrusting their overly-sized weaponry at the air with cries of battle and enthusiasm. One could taste the aftershock of their sudden silence.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">“You…” She rattled at them. “you are all going to stay, and you are all going to fix this.”

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">One charged at her. A burst of concentrated heat blasted him into the atmosphere: hitting the precise areas to dislocate as much of his armor as possible. His towering shoulder-pads clanged against the desert ground. The reptile pointed a hissing finger to the army. “For every sign of resistance, four of you will be dissolved. For every act of defiance, ten. Make no mistake in thinking you will be treated as people for your crimes. Now… go.”

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Raids and attacks on different cities had been strategized every time the two Servers—Mysl Farensai and her companion, Revten Tess—would leave to Mobius Prime Alpha to meet and talk with the other Servers: discussing matters of multiversal and universal dangers. This most recent army, calling themselves “The Rector” which meant “Changer”, had recently taken a life in the absence of the Servers to protect the area.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">A grey rodent with tall spines—appearing most alien—with purple markings, surfed over to his partner’s location. He had full view as the attackers were now performing slave labor in reconstructing the fallen town.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">“You killed some of them,” He noted, gesturing to the charred armor.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">“And they killed twenty,” She immediately hissed back. “I have already spoken with the families and friends of those connected to the dead… the ones that weren’t killed along with their family and friends.”

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">“… Are you going to kill them after they’re finished?”

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">“The army? … I very much want to. Don’t tell me they don’t deserve it.”

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">“Do you know why they did it?”

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">“Power, spiting us, it doesn’t matter. I know it was unprovoked and that is reason enough for m- gh-“ she crouched to the ground, clutching her chest.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">“Mysl?” He rushed to her side.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Her eyes were wide and glowing. “The… core…  The planet core.”

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">“Still?”  Immediately the stone Server ripped open the ground, taking them both down miles into the planet. Once close enough, he began converting the elements below into a glaze to see through. “I can feel it,” He noted. They looked on as the planet’s core spasmed, crushing the ground above and dissolving matter throughout.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">“It keeps happening,” Mysl shook her head. “I’ve restored it so many times. It’s as if the planet has been pre-programmed to revert to a specific form.”

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">“… Maybe it’s the sun?” Revten shrugged.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">“I’ve already investigated that,” she sighed. “…What did those Overlords do to this place?”

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">“I arrived here after they were long into power,” Revten sighed. “We could go ask Takris to find out.”

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">“We would have to find him first, and even then he hasn’t used his power for this sort of thing in months.”

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">“… If the corrosion continues, I’ll set up aerial platforms above the surface of the planet. They won’t be affected by the core.”

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Months passed. Earthquakes began appearing all throughout the planet. Cities were damaged, or outright destroyed. Revten used his power to lift the civilizations to the air, and Mysl used hers to help construct self-levitating power-sources as they continued to push the core back into place.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">They constructed their own main building, a temple almost, circular and long. From there, the two looked on as the ground below continued to corrode. Sand clouds were over the area at all times.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">“They’re asking if we’ll lead them,” Revten informed.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">“… Expected.”

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">“I take it that you’re excited?”

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">“Why do you say that?”

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">“Because of the Dragon Kingdom. You’ve wanted to rule, even after leaving Mobius Prime Alpha.”

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">“And if you recall, I was dethroned and humiliated.”

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">“… Well, we are the main power-source. Many people want our help. I’m not going to deny the ones that actually ask.”

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">He stepped out to the outdoors of their citadel. He parted the clouds and formed them into a long metallic road. From below rose a floating rock, covered in ferns. “We have the resources… we will keep the planet alive. It’ll be like a sky civilization.”

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">“Sounds like a fairy tale.”

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">“We ARE fairy tales…”

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">“… What would you have it be called then?”

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">The vision ended as he arrived in the void area. Two of the statues were changing, transforming.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Asonja had stopped to contemplate over the vision he had received, assuming that it was the beginning of this civilization. "So...these must be the two that I had seen." He muttered to himself. He stayed tense, though. "So that's what's been happening all this time...but yet, I don't know why I'm even involved in this catastrophe."

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">To the left, the wolf was standing up, waking up.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"Oh, finally you decided to get up." Asonja walked over to the wolf. "Need help getting up?"

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"I... I should be able to..." He stretched a bit. "Where are we?"

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"Well, I don't know exactly, but while you've been sleeping, I managed to find the portal to get to the sky civilization nearby." Asonja crossed his arms. "I also had a vision when I walked through here, so I'm assuming I just saw the creation of the city and the statues here, I think, are the Servers."

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"... Servers?" He looked at the statues. "These?"

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"Yup." He points to the red and black statue. "Revten." Then points to the Purple and black. "Mysl. I just met her a while ago too."

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"... Yes... and you are? I- I'm Shamus by the way."

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"Greetings Shamus. I am Asonja." He greets himself. "Or call me whatever easier for you to remember."

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"Asonja sounds easy enough," He nodded. He held up his hands. A faint glow, like the one from the previous hand, was starting up.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"Wait a minute..." Asonja looked at his right hand for a moment, before looking back at the wolf. "Strange question...but did you loose a hand or something?"

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"No but you seem to have the same energy in you."

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">He put his hands up like the wolf was. "Like this? I'm not sure exactly what we're doing."

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"Just noticing something," He shrugged, walking over to the statues. "... What happened?  What do you remember?"

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"Well, from what I can remember, these two Servers were noticing the Planet's core was shifting, so they had to bring the city up to avoid destruction. Also, I think a War was happening at one point."

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"... That... Servers..." He scratched his head before approaching one of the fallen doors. "... maybe we can fix this one?"

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"We can try. Maybe it'll be better if two people were to fix it instead of one."

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"Well... um..." He charged up the energy around himself, concentrating on one of the doors. The remains flickered a bit. "... Alright... on three?"

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Asonja nods, but concentrated on a lesser scale. "Sure. You count."

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"Okay, one, two, three," He pressed harder on the concentrated energy, sparks forming around the edges.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Asonja growled and concentrated more. He pressed as hard as could.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">The doorways lifted upward, glowing and reforming till a large thoom sounded their reform. A green and pink doorway stood to the right, and a gold to the left.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Asonja panted a bit, actually low on his core energy. He had stumbled onto his knees after that, but he got up on his own. "I guess we go through one or the other."

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"I suppose so."

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Before either could act, a red tint formed over Asonja's body for a brief moment, followed by a purple one. A set of fiery wings appeared in front of him. '''You have unlocked Mysl's wings. They allow you to charge into the air for flight and hovering.'''  A ax-like scythe appeared, purple gemstone. '''You have unlocked Revten's Scythe. It allows you to create stone structures in the ground to help travel.'''

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">You can take one of any Server to come with you for each new area along with Shamus.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Asonja stood there, contemplating over the two choices. He seemed to be thinking heavily over it before he looked to the wolf. "Are you alright with taking the Scythe?"

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"What?"

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"Uhh...nevermind..." Asonja grumbled quietly as he chose Mysl's wings.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"Which do we go into?"

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"I don't know, but let us assume that we will make it out in one piece."

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"Well... of course..." He decided to go into the gold doorway.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Asonja sighed and followed him shortly behind. He was worried about what would happen, as well as still questioning himself why he's even here. (Fixed it, sorry again.)

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">(It's alright.  I didn't make it entirely clear.) <h4 class="MsoNoSpacing">Welcome to Drafinity The sky is orange. A  long green grassland covers the entire area. Lines of wide-spaced houses are seen about with strips of light in the ground going toward something in the far distance center.



"We need to restore the Servers before any of this progresses," Shamus informed. "Otherwise the Multiverse will be consumed."

"And none of us are not going to let that happen," Asonja stated, but looked hesitant at first. "Are we...?"

"Of course not," Shamus flashed him a brief smile, patting him on the shoulder. "That," He gestured to the center building. "that should be where we're heading," He started toward the building.

Asonja didn't seem to smile back, but nodded. He followed him at a distance.

It was quite silent but at least they were on solid ground again. As they go closer, however, a large glowing wall began materializing, blocking the path some half-mile ahead.

Asonja stopped, and looked at the wall. "Well, this looks like trouble..." He says out loud.

"I don't see any civilians," Shamus noted. "There should be-"

A spasm of the gold energy shot up from the ground for a moment. A couple of trees flashed in the distance, reappearing and vanishing entirely. "Is... that how it was last time for you?"

"Nope. There was citizens in the other door, but this is a whole other Saga." Asonja shrugged. He honestly looked like he didn't care, but was actually strictly worried.

"Maybe once we're at the wall there will be a toll?" He kept walking.

"Perhaps. But I have no money or anything for this." Asonja sighed and continued along.

As they went, the two found themselves in a rather open area of this open area, where none of the houses were aligned. This puzzle didn't last long to an extent as they crashed headfirst into something invisible: something that felt like bark.

Asonja stumbled back, falling backwards on his back, rubbing his head. "What the heck...?"

Shamus immediately slammed his hand against the invisible matter. He tensed. "... It's not going away... It's..." He waved his hand about. "It's a tree."

Asonja stroked his hand on the invisible matter. "How can this be possible? For something to have matter, it shouldn't be touched. Matter can't even be created anyway! It must be mirrors wrapped around an actual tree..."

"... Did you see something like this happen before?" He looked to Asonja.

"Well, I did see it once in the previous area I was in." Asonja started to circle around the invisible tree as much as he could to measure the diameter and circumference. "I didn't think it was possible at first, but it seems to be. When I was there, I saw people and buildings vanishing. Have any idea what that means?"

"... Maybe we could bring it back?  I mean, visually.  If- wha-" He fell forward. The matter was slowly diminishing.

Asonja got around and caught the wolf before he fell. "Careful. Don't want to get hurt. Conserve the energy in case danger approaches." He brought the wolf back to his feet and wiped some dust off his clothing. He then stood a distance away from the wolf like last time. "Alright, shall we continue going?"

"...I suppose, but... we should at least try to restore this."

"Ah, yes, of course." Asonja nodded, but his eyes seemed to droop. "Though, after my little adventure in the previous land, I can hardly even focus; I've used up too much of my core energy to even stay awake."

"... Core energy?"

Steps were heard in the distance.

"Nevermind that, we currently got company." Asonja looked in the distance of the steps, hoping to see at least someone or something.

Flickers of murky purple zipped about in the distance, out of sight. Growlings came about everywhere as a short spasm of light from below revealed, just for a moment, a distorted, unmade individual, coming for them.

"... Hm..." Shamus placed a hand on the vanishing tree, channeling into it. The tree slowly began to reappear as he began pulling out a long staff.

Asonja spawned his black short-swords from turning his hoverboard he had into sand, and reform into the two swords. "I don't really fight, but it seems necessary here."

"What are we up against here?" He kept looking about as the figure kept vanishing, circling them.

"I've seen them before. They're infected with some sort of corrupted matter." Asonja tried to explain. "This doesn't seem to help our current situation, though..."

"We have to grab the- wait, corrupt?  ... Is that a person?!"

A cracking noise came from behind them. One of the branches of the tree was flying toward them.

Asonja noticed, ran to the center and made a criss-cross with his swords to cut through the branch. "Yes. They're people. Innocents."

The branch cracked against the blades, falling in front of him. "Grab them," Shamus called before jabbing his staff to the ground. He sent a burst of the purifying energy throughout. For a few seconds, the unmade could be seen... there were five, circling them.

"The branch or the people?" Asonja asked, gripping his swords tightly in anxiety. "Because, one, I don't want to get any splinters. Secondly, I don't want to touch the people as I might get infected too...and I don't want that to happen."

"Got a better plan to... exorcise them?" He asked, back to Asonja's.

"...Point taken...I clearly don't have any other idea." Asonja shrugged, sighing.

"When one of them strikes, we pin it down an-" As Shamus was saying this, two darted toward them immediately.

"Oi!" Asonja dashed and knocked the two figures away with the blunt side of his swords. "Don't interrupt! What were you saying?"

One of the figures slid under the sword to uppercut him from below as the other took the hit, grabbing hold of the blades. Shamus immediately jabbed his staff at the sliding Unmade to knock them back down. "Pin them and fix them!"

"I can do one of those things, but how do I fix them?!" Asonja said as he kicked the second one down. Though, he was sure he was pinning one down.

The others began charging. Shamus swung his staff around to ward some away. "I dunno, do what we did to the door and the tree!"

He sighed, to focus a bit and looked at the one he was pinning down to concentrate. "Like...this?"

"You tell me!" Shamus kicked away at one of them as another jumped down at them from above.

"I can hardly concentrate to begin with!" Asonja looked up, and had to move out of the way to avoid becoming a cushion for their falls.

"Well do you have anything else you can use against them?  You said something about a scythe!" Shamus quickly rolled out of the way as two others chased him.

"Well, I don't have a scythe." Asonja says, running along side him. "I may have something else of use, but I'm not exactly sure how to bring them out." He was concentrating to himself, mainly to his back. "There's gotta be some way to bring them out..." he muttered to himself.

He could feel the elements and the weapons waiting to be used. All he needed was to call one. Perhaps he could call one of the people he met in Faretess as well.

He seemed to stop for a moment, thinking over the thought of it. "Alright then...let's give this a shot." Asonja put his swords away behind him and called, "Revten!" He then held up his right hand.

The scythe appeared, and with a burst of metal surrounding the two, the alien-like hedgehog Server formed next to him.

Asonja brought his right hand back down to his side, and examined the Server. "Howdy. Think you could give us a hand, Revten?"

"... You're the hedgehog Mysl mentioned right?" He looked around at the unmade. outside the walls. "Yeah, we're dealing with these I take it?"

"Yes to both." Asonja nods and took out his swords.

A screaming came from outside the metal barrier as light spasms started going about. The unmade mobians blasted upward, charged up with the light energy, before rushing down toward them.

"That's Trixin's power," Revten identified. He slammed the barrier upward, turning it into a flat horizontal structure. He then began to vibrate it upward repeatedly. Two of the unmade were disruptive, but three managed to phase through in time.

"Where is Trixin?!" Shamus asked, spinning to the side to dodge the unmade. Revten didn't reply at the moment, trying to concentrate.

"We'll have to track down and find Trixin so we could stop this. Perhaps that might work." Asonja was just moving away from the unmade; he didn't even lay a single hit on them.

They began shooting small bolts of light at the group. Revten lifted them all upward before launching their platform toward the light wall.

Of course, Asonja didn't fight back from the bolts. "Should the wolf and I check around the area for Trixin?"

"Did you really just call me 'The Wolf'?" Shamus asked.

"She'd be behind this wall," Revten noted as they landed. Other Unmades were still coming after them. "We need to get the wall down."

"How're we going to do that?" Asonja asked. Then he turned to Shamus. "Sorry, I couldn't remember your name at the heat of the moment..."

Revten slammed against the wall but it remained intact.

"... You cover me, I'll try to deal with the wall," Shamus stepped over to the wall, charing up the energy.

Asonja nods at this and stood beside Revten. "Well then...we'll try to cover you all we can."

"If I actually had full power, these would be done with already," Revten sighed. He rose up a thin wall of stone in front of him before moving it back at the Unmade.

"Full Power?" Asonja looked at him shockingly. "I'm already at my Full Power...and it obviously isn't very strong."

(Apologies.  Can't reply at the moment.  Neck is killing me.) (Is all good)

"Don't get discouraged yet," Revten turned barely in time to react to an Unmade darting at the two, launching a spear of solid light at them.

"¡Oye!" Asonja yelled in Spanish as he roundhouse-kicked the Unmade back. "Apologies for my rudeness, but there's no time to be distracted. We have to cover for Shamus."

"Let me..." Revten began forming a sand over the ground, hardening it over the Unmade's approaching to slow them. The remaining ones went airborne, firing repeatedly at the two.

"Look out!" Asonja yelled as he tried to dodge most of them.

"I can take these hits more.  Make sure they aren't getting Shamus," He continued chasing after the escapees with the sand as others circled around to blast Shamus.

Asonja took deep breaths as he went further from Shamus and into the densest part of the battle. His heart was pounding heavily as he has never gotten further deeper into a battle.

"Whe- Hey!" Revten called. He quickly sent a thin wall to defend Shamus, his attention still on Asonja.

Asonja took his swords and threw them like boomerangs at some of the Unmade figures, hoping to do some damage.

Some began chasing after him as he ran off.

He yelped as he caught his swords and ran back. "I'm NOT going in the frontlines anymore!"

The wall began to glitch out. "GET OVER HERE!  IT'S WORKING!" Shamus called.

Asonja beckoned for Revten and he went over to Shamus. "Need some help or do you have everything?"

"I've got this," He nodded. "Just get through."

A hole was forming out as Shamus pulled open the wall.

"Alright, let's go!" Asonja went through the hole. He waited for Revten and Shamus.

Immediately once the three were through, the wall began to grow out toward them, light tendrils and strange yellow matter reaching out. The center building was a half mile away.

"RUN, GO!" Shamus darted for the building.

Asonja nods, spawns his hoverboard, and blasts toward the building.

Revten circled them as they went, rising and tossing stone pillars and walls to block the attacks. The door was open for them to jump inside. Two pillars of light seemed to be powering the building, or maybe the building powered everything else.

Whatever the purpose of the building was, Asonja shot inside, and got off his hoverboard. He almost tripped because inertia still affected him heavily, but managed to stay up straight. He waited for everyone else.

While Shamus was with him, Revten was no longer in sight. Despite this, a clearly female voice called out "You are not allowed here" as a black and red sand began swirling into view in front of them.

Asonja was tense, but it made him stop and get off the hoverboard. That hoverboard turned into sand and changed form into his two black swords on his sides.

A long staff and a striped attire dress, red and green and black, with a gold helmet-like crown: technological gauntlets gloves, furious eyes, and a crooked grin. The woman rose her staff upward, and cords of electricity swirled around.

Remnant: Iron Queen



"This won't be easy..." Asonja muttered, clenching his hands and taking a few steps back. As a highly unskilled fighter yet has decent fighting equipment, he felt like he was an Anti-Hero, lacking qualities of motivation to take a step forward and take one for the team. He visibly shook, but it was very faint.

An energy field seemed to have formed behind the Iron Queen. She was stepping away from it as she raised up her staff to send various metal at the two of them.

Asonja barely reacted once he dived out of the way. He mutters to himself, "couldn't tell if that was Iron, Titanium, or Platinum...either way, those pack heavy punches..."

"Alright... that's... not possible," Shamus shook his head. "Where's Revten?"

Asonja got up to look. "I don't see him. I guess the summoning was only temporary. You got a plan?"

Metal beings began to appear... robots forming as the Queen jabbed her staff at Asonja.

"She's human.  Just beat her down," He winced at the statement as he ran over to block the hit.

Asonja backed off, sighed, took his swords and swung at the Queen. Though, he looked like he was holding back quite a bit as the moment he swung, missing in the process, he backed away. (Ignore I said that)

Shamus grabbed hold of the staff for a moment, shoving the Queen back to give them room between her and the robots slicing at them. As her foot hit the wall, she screamed, pulling her foot back as it vibrated.

"... That's a pl- WHOA!" Shamus quickly span out of the path of a robot.

Asonja dodged the robots as well, seeming to bring his swords back to his waist. He was analyzing what to do with the Queen after seeing that her foot vibrated. He thought, ''Perhaps if we knock her head to the wall, would that also vibrate? Or is it just her feet and not her entire body?''

"Let's see," Shamus kicked a robot at the queen, but she easily dodged out of the way, rising up a set of cords to whip at the two.

Asonja was too busy in thought, and wasn't watching what he was doing; a major flaw in the law of combat. His instincts took over, but were a bit too slow as the cord lashed the side of his stomach. He groaned in pain as he covered the wound to keep it from bleeding.

"Shamus, I have a plan." Asonja said. "I'll find a way to keep her still. While I do that, kick a robot to her and I'll move just at the moment the robot hits her and propels her to the wall. I'll give you the call. Or, if that doesn't work, we'll work on a Plan B."

"I can hear you," The Iron Queen said as she darted to get to the opposite side of the wall. Shamus dove to stop her, but a robot rammed into him.

"Perhaps I should've thought about that sooner..." Asonja rubbed his head. "Works in shows, from what I've seen..." He then ran to Shamus to help him up before he would chase after the Queen.

The robots dove to dog-pile them. "Okay, let- OH MY-" A beginning wave of metal started growing out from the ground toward them.

Asonja struggled to get out, but managed to find an opening in the dog-pile, prying himself and Shamus away to almost narrowly dodge the metal. "That was close...you take care of the robots and I'll go after the Queen. Deal?"

Shamus nodded. "Try bending the environment.  Maybe we can push her with the floor," He yanked Asonja aside as a blast of electricity went toward them. "Use one of of the Tools you got!"

"Tools..." Asonja muttered before nodding. "Tools! Got it! Good luck, bud. I don't want to see you dead when I come back." Asonja ran off in the direction to the Queen, before muttering, "If I survive that is...I have to think of something, and fast."

The Queen formed out a metallic spike to impale Asonja as he neared.

He moved out of the way, touched the side of it to try to turn it into something else. He was still not used to the idea of it; he just need a bit more practice.

The spike stilled for a moment as she launched another at him.

Asonja barely dodged that one as it whisked inches from his hair. He growled a bit to himself as he thought hard and quickly to himself. "Bend the environment...what does that even mean...?" He muttered to himself.

(Tools = Server Tools = The Ones he was told he could summon to use)

She jabbed at fist at Asonja to knock him off balance as Shamus attempted to bring the wall closer to the Queen.

(Sorry, sometimes the point doesn't come through directly XD)

Asonja saw Shamus bringing the wall over to them. He recoiled back from the punch, getting a bruise on his face. He came around and gave the Queen a Full-Nelson to keep her still.

She jabbed her staff toward his side, kicking down and sending the both of them flying forward.

He growled, wincing a bit at the pain in his side. "Mysl! I could use some assistance!" He shouted, trying not to sound like he was injured.

No one else was appearing, but as they flew forward, Shamus launched a piece of debris forward, sending both of them toward the wall.

Asonja let go of the Queen and tried to move out of the way as quickly as possible.

She slammed into the wall, vanishing along with her robots. The wall vanished, showing a stairway behind it.

Asonja got back up onto his feet, and brushed off the dust and other dirty materials from his clothes. "Excellent work, Shamus. Though, it would've been better if you warned me before hand, but we would've been found out, so...yeah. Thanks for helping out."

"You're okay?" Shamus looked him over. "Nothing broken?"

"Everything's fine except my vanity is still broken." Asonja stated. "Nothing to worry about, though. So, now what do we do?"

"Up the stairs I suppose... Maybe we should try summoning another Server?"

"I got the perfect one in mind." Asonja says before calling out Mysl, just like he did to the previous Server with the same posture and voice level.

Despite calling her, she didn't seem to appear. "... That... maybe there's something keeping them from entering?" Shamus theorized. "Guess we have to find what's blocking them," He started up the stairs.

Asonja nods and follows him. "I probably just made a fool out of myself as well."

"No one's here to really point that out," Shamus replied as they went up further.

They arrived in a long hallway. Portraits were about the walls with drawings and pictures of some of the Servers. There was Mysl, and some paintings down there was Revten. A green echidna with red stripes, a pale cat with long gold hair, a rabbit with brown and pink fur, a hedgehog--white--with blue markings... and a fox, pale orange, with silver stripes, and completely white eyes.

There was a final painting far at the end of the hall.

Asonja looked confused at the paintings. He liked how they looked. He then went to the picture at the end of the hall.

The picture was... covered, by a cloth. A name was at the bottom but it was written in some foreign language.

"Hmm...if only I could read." Asonja shrugged. "What's this room, Shamus?"

"It probably... holds monuments to the other Servers."

The hall split at the end into two others.

"Other servers? You mean there was more to Revten and Mysl? That's crazy..." Asonja turned around to see the two forks. "...Were those there before?"

"Light... illusive barriers I suppose," Shamus theorized. "Which do we take?"

"Hmmm...only one way to solve this predicament." He goes into his pocket, pulls out his half-cent penny from the 1800's, and flips the coin. "Heads for left, tails for right."

It landed on heads. He puts the coin back in his pocket. "Welp, you heard the $100 half-cent penny. We shall go left."

Shamus turned to the left, walking forward. The entrance vanished as the two entered it.

"...I'm not sure whether I should be concerned or not." Asonja said. "Because I do believe that we cannot advance very far from this point."

"Except for further on," Shamus replied, walking down the hall.

Asonja sighed, rubbing his arms in discomfort. He grumbled and followed along Shamus with quite a bit of footing like Asonja had a disease and didn't want to accidentally infect Shamus with it.

Eventually they arrived at a doorway. Upon walking through it, the two found themselves in a vast room, very open, and incredibly bright. Across it was a floating still figure of light, and behind this an encapsulated glowing yellow orb.

Asonja winced a bit, not exactly used to bright lights as of now. "...What is this place? It's hurting my eyes."

Solid light trees and structures grew out from the ground as they neared the figure.

Asonja was quite nervous upon approaching the figure, not knowing what exactly to expect. He still wasn't sure what he was doing in this alternate realm of sorts and wondering why it had to be him instead of someone else.

"So... you've done this part right?  That's how you got... Mysl and Revten?" Shamus asked.

"I....think so?" Asonja said. He took notice of the orb and went up to it. "Perhaps this orb correlates to this situation."

"... What about..." He looked to the figure. "This seems too easy... Wait," He placed a hand to the figure, but was forced back. A brief flash could be seen on the figure, a tendril merging with it, corrupting the figure.

Asonja had turned to look at it. "So...it was a trap the whole time...Are you alright Shamus, by the way?"

"Yeah, I think so," He nodded. "We should try to purify this."

"Agreed." Asonja said as he looked back at the orb. He figured he could find the link of the corruption in the orb, but wasn't exactly sure.

"Well, c'mon," His hands began to glow as he started to spread the energy at the figure.

Asonja nods, stands next to Shamus, and his hands began to glow as well to help fix the corruption.

As they went, a metallic whip suddenly appeared on their waists, yanking them across the room.

Asonja winced and tried to fight against it, but his core energy was still substantially low as well as his strength, so he couldn't do much against it. "What the heck...?!"

The Iron Queen appeared behind them once again, black tendrils about her as the figure began vibrating. Pillars of light shot up around them as the corrupted figure floated to the center.

You are fighting Corrupted Luminai

"Well, this is just great..." Asonja sighed. "Welp, I guess I'm dead."

The corrupted figure began rapidly shooting about the area in lines of light as the Iron Queen dove over both of them, toward the core.

"Oi...!" Asonja grimaced from the light and tried to chase after the Queen to prevent her from getting to the core.

A wall of light came down toward Asonja. Thankfully he had help with this fight, as Shamus launched his staff into the wall, causing it to explode.

"Thanks Shamus...I owe ya one." He says, as he continued the chase after the Queen to reach out toward the orb.

The Queen turned to him, sending a tendril to stop him as she stood in front of the orb.

It was a successful hit on his shoulder. It stopped him and he grimaced a bit. "Darn it, I didn't see that coming..."

"You are vastly outmatched, foreigner," The queen peered, raising her materializing staff to slam down at him.

Asonja managed to dodge the staff, holding his shoulder to stop the bleeding. He had no weapon to attack back. (Sorry bout dat)

(Just noting again, he can summon Server weapons for himself to use). The Queen attempted to strike at him again, but both were blasted away as the corrupted Luminai slammed down between them with a blast of light.

(I keep forgetting, sorry) Asonja skidded to a halt, his shoes screeching from the friction. His eyes closed from the shine of light, and he groaned as he rubbed them back to see normally again. "Alright then...guess I have no choice but to actually fight back..." He brought out his hands and tried to summon Revten's own weapon, though he thought it was a bit of a stretch to begin with.

(I forgot to reply, so we're even. X{D)

As the corrupted Luminai zipped over to attack Asonja again while the Queen recovered, a sudden blast of metal shooting around in a glowing purple swarming the two, swatting them upward as the swirls of metal slammed into the floor with a crack: the ax-scythe clicking into form next to the hedgehog.

"...Oh dear." Asonja said as he grabbed the scythe with a bit of care. He was right handed, so he was using his right hand as the main leverage for the weapon. "I probably won't know how to use this...but it wouldn't hurt to give it a quick shot." With that said, Asonja got into a stiff position with the scythe at the ready.

He could feel an energy swarming in his arms from the tool: a tension inside like a pile of boulders, incredibly heavy and yet easily liftable. With the Queen and the corrupted entity focused on him, a somewhat tattered Shamus was making his way toward the core.

The light entity charged at Asonja.

The hedgehog gripped the scythe and swung at the entity, making a horizontal crescent slice.

Upon making contact, the light entity was shot back, a stream of stone rapidly shooting out after her. The queen slid over to trip Asonja.

Asonja jumped, and used the axe-scythe to hold his stance to dodge the attempted swipe, as he was doing a one-handed handstand with the scythe planted on the ground. He jumps back off, and made an upward strike with the scythe as he returned the weapon back to normal posture.

The light entity reappeared behind him, sending a blast of solid light at him.

He got pushed back from it and got carried for quite a long distance. He used the weapon to slow himself down and swing around. He began to glow a faint purple and began to run back with the ax-scythe in his tight grip.

The Light Entity rushed over to strike at Shamus as he was trying to fend off the Queen now.

"Shamus!" Asonja shouted as he rushed over and swiped at the light entity to knock it away.

The Entity was too quickly to sidestep his attack, but he gained the attention of the Queen in time for Shamus to knock her back.

This time, Asonja stayed by Shamus to come up with a plan. "So, you want to go after the Queen and I go after the Light Entity? If we're going to do that, we have to make sure we have each other's back covered, got it? I'd hate to sound like the leader of this situation, though, I don't know anything about being a leader."

"The core is being protected by some kind of fiel- MOVE!" He tackled Asonja down as the Light Entity charged at them, causing her to destroy the barrier of the core. "That's... one wa- what you said, GO!" Shamus charged at the Queen. "Fix the core!"

"Right!" Asonja veered away from the battlefield to make his way to the core. Unfortunately, first rule of combat: never turn your back on your opponents

The Light Entity appeared stunned by the sudden collision, and Shamus was dealing with the Queen.

Looks like I got my chance... Asonja said in his mind, as he reached out to the core to purify it.

A scream came from both the entity and the queen as he did so. He got some progress before the barrier filled back up, sending him back.

Shamus growled at this. "Alright, let's get the Queen first!  Less to deal with!"

Asonja growled as well, rubbed his head and got up again to wield his weapon. "Got it!" Asonja decided to go straight for the Queen, making a downward motion with his scythe and into the floor/ground.

Before the queen could send a countering attack to the both of them, a blast of shards flew up from the ground as Asonja hit it, stabbing through her entirely.

Asonja pulled it out, with a bit of trouble at first, and put the weapon on his shoulders with a smug smirk on his face. "Nice. I do believe that's one down. Shamus, how are you doing over there with the other one?"

ImNotCalledDave
It was dark. Across the street from the figure, there was a cat leaning against a lamp post. He was looking up at the sky. Without turning to face his addresser, he responded with "What do you want?"

"Quicky, Good Sir!" The short man exclaimed at arrival. "We must depart immediately!  The danger is immediate!"

"What danger?" came the reply. "And who are you?" He continued, standing up and turning to face him.

(He didn't say his name, also the short man already arrived in front of him) "Existence!" The short man stated excitedly, looking about frantically. A male wolf, brown, was in the distance, running toward them.

"MOVE!" The wolf called.

Without hesitation, the cat quickly took a few steps backwards. "Well what do you want with me?" he asked the small man, clearly starting to get irritated by his cryptic answers.

"There are few moments to explain," The short man stated, still glancing about as the wolf drew near. The wolf was pointing behind them but as the short man attempted to clarify the situation, he suddenly jumped in front of the cat, blocking the way of what appeared to be a strange rectangular shadow, just before the area faded out, everyone faded out, to a white color. The last thing seen were the glowing fingerless hands of the short crowned man.

The cat was left blinking gormlessly as his eyes readjusted to his surroundings. Still slightly shocked, he murmured "We've gotten off on the wrong foot" to no-one in particular.

(Will reply...later.  Dead.)

Chapter One: From the Void
Silence save for the wind. In front of him lay the egg-shaped pale yellow hand that once belonged to the short man.

After taking a second to recover, the cat glanced around, looking at his surroundings.

Nothing but the hand seemed to be in view.

Crouching down, he poked the hand, a look of uncertainty on his face.

Immediately after touching the egg-shaped hand, it vanished. A surge of strange energy began flowing through the cat, his arms beginning to glow with the power. Around him, he could suddenly see a new area.

<p style="font-weight:normal;">'''Statues... broken up in pieces in a row to the left. They were all pale and empty.'''

<p style="font-weight:normal;"> Perhaps he could effect them . <p style="font-weight:normal;">Noticing the glow from his arms, he pulled his coat's sleeve up a short way before proclaiming "That's new" to himself. Unsure of his new capabilities, he walked up to a piece of the statues and, bending over, put his hand flat onto it. <p style="font-weight:normal;">He could feel a faint energy inside of it, but it was disconnected, the link somewhere else. He heard a groan to the far left. A figure was lying on the ground. <p style="font-weight:normal;">Almost immediately, he turned around and began moving toward the figure asking "Hey! You alright?" <p style="font-weight:normal;">A brown male wolf mobian faintly breathed on the floor. He didn't seem to be responding to the calling, but at least he was alive for the moment. He didn't appear bruised. <p style="font-weight:normal;">Before further inspections could be made to the wolf, however, a scream came from far behind the cat. It was a man's, loud and angry. <p style="font-weight:normal;">"Hang in there a minute" he said to the wolf before turning around and drawing a revolver, ready to confront the voice's owner. <p style="font-weight:normal;">A grey hedgehog-like figure, male, was charging toward them both. His eyes were a spiralling glowing red and parts of his body were trailing off like sand falling apart. <p style="font-weight:normal;">Realising that the wolf was in danger, he took aim at the figure's leg and fired two shots. <p style="font-weight:normal;">(Just to make sure, are these bullets or something specific?) <p style="font-weight:normal;">(Just bullets) <p style="font-weight:normal;">(Much thanks) <p style="font-weight:normal;">The hedgehog staggered for a moment, feeling the spots shot at to find minimal inflicted damage. With another roar, he charged to tackle the cat. <p style="font-weight:normal;">Dodging to the left, he retaliated with an ungracious swing of his weapon. <p style="font-weight:normal;">The hedgehog staggered back once again, his body fading away slowly. <p style="font-weight:normal;">Realising that outlasting his opponent seemed to be the best strategy, the cat ran back, holstering his revolver. <p style="font-weight:normal;">In a last-ditch effort, the hedgehog raised his hand up, launching some kind of matter at the cat. <h2 style="font-weight:normal;">RedRush A white hedgecat was finished meditating in the outskirts of Central City. As she looked up, she noticed that something was wrong with the sky. ¨What the heck?....¨

To her left came a flying figure in grey. He wore purple and has large lens-like eyes with pale-yellow egg-shaped hands.

He called out to her while fixing his crown upon his head.

"Who in the world...is that?" Esme thought, tilting her head in confusion as she stood up and watched the figure fly in.

(In the future, please do not put in responses of my characters without permission.)

Esme just stared at the flying figure thinking, ''¨What does he want with me? I hope it´s not anything weird...¨''

"YOU MUST MOVE PROMPTLY!" The short man called, waving Esme over.

¨Why, what´s up? Is something up?¨ the white hedgecat says while she activates her ice powers through her necklace, just in case.

"Destruction is near!" He answered. Around them the area continued to fade. A wolf male, brown, was running toward them, also yelling to move.

¨Whoa!¨ Esme exclaims as she use her ice powers to create a ice board and jumps on it quickly. ''¨The heck is going on? Why is everything here disappearing?!¨''

"A great evil of my-" The short man froze. He saw something behind Esme.

Esme then had a feeling something was behind her so she backhand punched the item in question.

She ended up punching the air, as whatever it was didn't appear in range. Before anyone could act, however, everything went white.

¨Gah!¨ Esme exclaimed as she covered her eyes to shield her eyes from the bright light....

Chapter One: From the Void
<p style="font-weight:normal;">Silence save for the wind. In front of her lay the egg-shaped pale yellow hand that once belonged to the short man. <p style="font-weight:normal;">¨WHAT IN THE HELL JUST HAPPENED?¨ Esme thought with a blank expression.... <p style="font-weight:normal;">No sound was heard. Only the hand could be seen. <p style="font-weight:normal;">Esme then floated over and touched the hand, curious to what would happen.

<p style="font-weight:normal;">'''Immediately after taking the hand, it fused with her own, molding into her as an energy flowed briefly around her. Instantly, the area around her was different to her vision.'''

<p style="font-weight:normal;">'''Statues... broken up in pieces in a row to the left. They were all pale and empty.'''
