“Predator Race” (Identity Month Roleplay) (Trisell)

INTRODUCTION
The sky opened. A flash of red shot from mid-air: some kind of comet of energy rushing to the surface. It crashed nearby your character, leaving a small crater. As the smoke clears, a figure half-melted to the ground looks over at them. She seems to have some sort of hooded jacket apparel, faceless, with a grey muzzle, a split down the hoodie just above the knees with red legs, and grey skin elsewhere. With red energy pulsing in an out, she calls out through distortion “Hide… me… please.”



WARNING
This roleplay is going to focus on massively powerful entities. Expect that the threat faced will likely be stronger than those thrown against it. It is designed with power in mind. Participate if you are willing to accept the potential of your planet being destroyed as a possible result.



RULES

 * Please watch the foul language


 * You can bring in as powerful of a character as you want but any demonic or angelic (religious in general) entities will be outright ignored depending on the situation.   It isn’t disallowed if you want to bring one in (though it’s requested against), but using hellfire, pulling characters into Hell, eating souls, and so on: that’s not gonna be acknowledged.   I understand that many people put effort into that sort of thing, but I really am not a fan.   If you want to try draining someone’s lifeforce and such, you can do that with CORES, because that’s an established part of the Sonic franchise.


 * Please keep things from getting lewd

PLEASE WRITE THE FOLLOWING WITH YOUR NAME BELOW
“I __________ by signing this promise to respond daily, and believe I can balance this roleplay with other things in my life. I will not abandon it and then move on without speaking with the creator first. I understand that I am expected to see this through and will strive to do so.”



START
Her arms and legs are melted to the ground. She’s shaking.

Riven and Rodnick (Saren the Dark Lynx and CullenStantonRutherford)
She had crash landed inside the throne room of a heavily gothic Medieval castle situated on a jagged mountaintop with various skull iconography carved into the sides; as it just so happened the lord of the castle and one of his aides, aka Riven and Rodrick Prince, were playing Xbox at Riven's insistance when the unknown female crashed through the ceiling. Thus shattering the TV and Xbox.

Riven's jaw dropped, staring at the unknown female. ".... What the fuck..!? My Xbox! My TV..!!" It was clear where his priorities were. The figure wasn't particularly able to respond to this at the moment, only partially conscious. Rodrick, on the other hand, just cleared his throat. "Ahem" He gotten up, staring at the female for a bit. "..Someone melted and yet lived though a crash landing..." He sighs, looking to Riven. "Riven, how about you calm down and think about how there is a semi-melted stranger crashing down in your castle of all places. I can find a way to replace the TV and Xbox, and the game."

"It's not just that, I don't have the budget to fix the damn hole in the roof, and to fix the flooring! She better have insurance to cover this damn it! Q~Q" Riven complained, pointing a finger at the female.

"... Right, a Partially Conscious, melted female who crash landed would have insurances to cover any of this damage." Rodrick let out a low sigh, shaking his head a bit before looking at the female. "... Best we get her to a room, shouldn't we?" He glance to Riven.

"Fiiine, scoop her into the medical wing or something.." Riven sighed. "I reeeally don't want to deal with this todayyyy, not after those creepy ass Mariliths started shouting about conquering in the name of their infernal gods and some other pointless shit.."

"You mean the crazy followers of some god that have nothing better to do?" Rodrick stretched his bat wings, walking over to the female to see if he could remove her carefully from the ground. Being that her arms and legs were melted. "Mmm... Well, this might be hard..."

"Yep, those creepy six armed snake demons.. I'll grab a squeegee from one of the supply closets..." Riven sighed, though Rodrick probably knew that Riven had no fucking clue where the cleaning supplies would be stored.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">The girl only slightly turned her faceless head over in Riven's direction. A distorted "please" was heard for a moment.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Riven sighed even harder as he exited the throne room in search of a squeegee.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"... He doesn't really know where it is." Rodrick grumbles, rolling his eyes. "He'll ask one of the maids soon enough." Huffing a bit, he glance down to the girl. "Mmm... Only forms of machines distort..." He tilts his head. "... What or who are you hiding from..." <p class="MsoNoSpacing">She was silent to this for a time, but slowly some sort of distorted noise forced out before the body collapsed for the moment. The melted sections of the arms and legs seemed to disconnect from the rest that was decomposing into a sort of sand. <p class="MsoNoSpacing">True enough, Riven had ended up returning with a maid holding a squeegee; albeit he was just looking for one the maid insisted that she handle it, citing a relevently famous incident involving an arrogant nobleborn 'hero' called Sir Wilheim, this incident ended with the pompous ass of a hero dying because riven accelerated the reproduction of cells in Sir Wilheim's throat, creating a rapidly growing malign cyst that kept expanding until it popped; taking most of his throat with it and leaving a bloody mess on the carpets that took weeks to properly clean.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Rodrick gave a look to Riven, but looking down at the female's body. "...Well, I can easily move her." He mutters. <p class="MsoNoSpacing">For the moment the body was still solid enough, but wouldn't remain this way. <p class="MsoNoSpacing">Rodrick grumbles at the 'sand' fact. "Maid" He stood up. "Might need a broom... Possibly..." He grumbles to himself some more. "What a mess, hole in the roof, pieces melted into the floor with it being cracked, a destroyed TV, destroyed Xbox and one game gone." He sighs to himself. "Mm... She still didn't answer my question..."

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"Then lets get her to a room." Riven sighed as he crouched down and placed a hand on the strange woman, attempting to heal the damage done to her after dismissing the maid since this was hella more important than cleaning up his throne room.. He'll have someone else do that later <p class="MsoNoSpacing">(Just making sure, how is the healing done?) <p class="MsoNoSpacing">(Well, its using mana to accelerate cellular reproduction; of course if the nanites of an Identity act like cells then the same principles could be applied here.)

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">(You know the worst part?  I understood ALL of that the first time... but I somehow missed that he was doing that to the Identity.  All the facepalms on my part.)

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">The nanites began multiplying further, creating small masses of black sand about, but the consciousness of the Identity was what seemed threatened at the moment. Only small sparks about the body could be seen.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Rodrick watches this silently. "Mmm..." He looks to Riven. "Seem your powers work on something that is like a machine, problem I'm seeing are the small sparks and possibly something else..." He grumbles a bit, He wasn't a tech-savvy person. "...Best we move her when we can, huh?"

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"Yeah, try to keep her awake though.. I think she's slipping into a Coma." Riven said, rather hurriedly at that.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">The sparking began to become more frequent as the melted arms and legs started to give off popping noises. The nanites in them were starting to implode.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"Maybe we should, I don't know, Deal with that?" Rodrick spoke clearly without grumbling or muttering as he points at the Melted arms and legs giving popping noises. "I'll just try to keep her awake, of course, but that doesn't sound pretty." He looks at the girl, kneeling down as he snapped his fingers carefully above her head. <p class="MsoNoSpacing">For some seconds there was no response aside from the increasing sparks, some of which were becoming small streams of lining energy. The snapping sound echoed suddenly as the face of the Identity turned to white. <p class="MsoNoSpacing">Riven panicked, he honestly had no clue what to do; so he placed his hands on her chest and focused his magic into the stumps, if this was the identity's version of cancer then he should be able to reverse the damage done.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"Hopefully that work..." Rodrick mumbles a bit, looking at the face of the Identity. "Keep awake the best you can." His hand didn't move from above her, as if keeping his hand there to snap again if he thinks she would pass out or something. <p class="MsoNoSpacing">The energy began building further. The dead nanites began floating up, igniting and dissolving. The hooded clothing fluttered upward for a moment before the entire body went white, and a scream ripped out with a blast of white into the air. <p class="MsoNoSpacing">Riven recoiled in shock, by now some of his other aides might probably come in to check up on him.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Rodrick shield his eyes a bit, but he had made some shifting footing to be in front of Riven as best as he could, having forced to shield his eyes from the blinding white. <p class="MsoNoSpacing">A rippling thoom sounded as the body rose up, a glowing form appearing above the nanite form. Pulses of the screams began cutting out as the spiritual form fused back into the nanites, letting out a large burst outward as the reformed Identity shakily lay bracing her hands to the ground. <p class="MsoNoSpacing">"Jeez.. The things I do for strangers.." Riven sighed, trying to act distant.. Or maybe that was because he was really tired today after using his magic to bring her back from the brink of what was assumed to be death.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Rodrick looks over at Riven, blinking a bit. "Yeea... That was different..." He looks to the Identity. <p class="MsoNoSpacing">The Identity stood up slowly, glancing between the two. "What happened?" <p class="MsoNoSpacing">"Uuuuh." Rodrick sighs, rubbing the back of his own head. "Look, you kind of just crashed into this very room, suddenly melted to the ground and just all like 'Help me'... Soo, yea, you were dying and the Dark lord, Riven here,-" He points to Riven, "-Saved you." <p class="MsoNoSpacing">She glanced over to Riven.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Riven waved casually.. Not quite what one would expect from someone with the title of dark lord. "Sup." <p class="MsoNoSpacing">"... H- I fe- oh," Her face went white again. Her head lurked forward as one might do when about to vomit. She covered her mouthless face. "The giants..." <p class="MsoNoSpacing">Rodrick started thinking. "Is that something or someone you are running from?" He asked. "You said you needed to be hidden or something of the likes." His wolf ears twitched a bit. "But I don't think you and I are thinking the same thing when it comes to the words 'Giants'."

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Riven nods. <p class="MsoNoSpacing">"What do you think of when you think of giants?" The girl asked. <p class="MsoNoSpacing">"Ooh, flesh covered huge things that nearly cover the skies at times and have a thing for stepping on people that are on their path. Hard to miss them while also hard to see them if you're looking the wrong way." Rodrick stated as he looks to the girl. "Nothing machine base in another word." <p class="MsoNoSpacing">"Well... aside from the flesh part..." She shivered for a moment. "whatever they were, they were giant..."

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"...... Fuuuuuuck.."

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"... Well then." Rodrick rubs his forehead. "Just great."

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"I need to, I need to go tell the other-" She vanished for a moment, then reappeared on the ground some feet away, shaking again. "u-..."

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Rodrick was confuse by this, going over to her. "Are you okay?"

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"Zone-travel..." She said. "Can't concentrate enough for it..."

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"Zone travel..?" Riven asked, rather curious.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"eeh... I don't think I fully understand" Rodrick looks to Riven.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"Different worlds," The sand-girl informed. "Different versions of the planet. I need... to get back to the Dominion, warn people." (Also waiting on Saren on zon'planos)

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Rodrick blinks, lifting an eyebrow now. "I've heard of that as a theory... Never thought it be true. But, you seem to be having problems concentrating, pssoibly due to what had happen when you crashed landed in... Well, His throne room." He points at Riven.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">The Identity cowered slightly, turning to Riven again. "I'm sorry I hurt your castle..."

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Riven blinked. "Eh? Don't worry about it; I've been meaning to redecorate it anyways." He waved off the Identity's concern.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"I... I- I should probably explain all what happened right?"

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"It would be nice." Rodrick stated, but looks at Riven as he mutters something about liking the castle's gothic appearance.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"... Okay..." The girl seemed to take a breath almost, despite not appearing to have any lungs. For some ten seconds she was silent, then finally started explaining. "Me, a-and others like me, w were- WE were going to a different zone- just to explore and things. But, uh, the people there found us out. It was okay at first because they thought we were cool. We started showing off to them, shooting energy like fireworks and things... b-but...then there was this big shadow. It was some kind of space ship. These giants came out. They looked metal-like, and- a-nd the-..." She trembled. "... they were bigger than a mountain... they did something to one of the others... then ate them."

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"So, that is why they are call giants...huh..." Rodrick nods.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"Holy shit... And they may be coming here...?" Riven asked, rather worried.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">The girl stiffened. "I... didn't think of that... t-they might not be. I don't... I don't know if they can zone travel."

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"Might as well think they can." Rodrick shakes his head. "Creatures aren't dumb..." He starts thinking.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"..... Well fuck my liiiiiife qwq!" Riven started rolling around on the floor.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"I- I could... I could try to get others? T- to help protect it," The girl suggested.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"Do you think you could do that?" Rodrick asked, lifting an eyebrow. "You seem to have had trouble last time."

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"Uh... if... If I can have something to balance out the energy... maybe I could get there in time..."

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Rodrick seem confused, his ears flicked. "Like?" He asked.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"Balance out the energy..?"

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">She shrugged. "Maybe something that I can drain into? Like a batter or something?"

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Rodrick thinks a bit, he looks to Riven. "Think gems or crystals might work for what she is talking about?" He questions, just throwing an idea out there.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"Battery..? Yeah; Rodrick.. Find me a gem would you?" Riven asked.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"Should I help find it?" Stiper asked.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Rodrick shakes his head no to Stiper. "I know where the gems are, after all, I know the layout of this castle far better than our own dark lord, but luckily the only thing that really matters is that he knows where his room is, the throne room and the kitchen." He then leaves to gather a gem.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Stiper turned to Riven. "So you're the 'Dark Lord'? ... Does that mean you're really powerful?"

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Riven just laughed good naturedly. "No, it's just a job title really."

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"Oh... Do... you have an army?"

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"Yes.. But unlike my predecessors I actively encourage my subjects to pursue their own interests and grow as a people rather than just conscript them for some overblown maniacal and most likely pants on retarded scheme that probably wouldn't pan out even if I succeeded."

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"That's... really considerate," She titled her head a bit. "Were the people before you supposed to be evil conquerors or something?"

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"Yep; I mean those are generally the types you'd expect to find occupying the role of Dark Lord."

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Rodrick walks in with some gems, a ruby, an emerald, so on. Each different type. "Do pick one, Krystal is going to get upset if I don't return the rest." He holds the gems out to Stiper for her to pick one.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"Where did you find those..?" Riven asked.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"Where do you think Riven? The only place here that holds Gems if you think about it. You can't hide any from your Dragonness, Riven."

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Stiper recoiled at the gems for a moment, looking specifically at the emerald. "W-what kind of gem is that again?"

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"Ah, you mean this green one?" He picked the Emerald. "This is an Emerald." Rodrick looks to Stiper.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"What kind of energy does it have?"

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"Oh, they don't have any magic or energy yet. These gems can hold energy or magic. I could always ask the dragonness herself to put something inside the emerald- but it may either be that of healing or buffing magic. She... Likes her weapons over combat magic." Rodrick glance to Riven. "Or I can see if Riven wants to store some energy into this gem."

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"... I'll use the emerald then..." She reached to it.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Rodrick allows her to take the emerald, then he takes all the other gems and leaves once more- to most likely put them back to where they belong.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"Okay... you may want to step back," She clutched the emerald tightly, an energy forming inside it as her body started to flicker.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Riven nodded, steeeeepping back.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">(I can feel the cartoonish leg stretching X{D)

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">She flashed about for a bit before vanishing in a red light. The emerald collapsed to the ground, glowing a green shade. (Allo?)

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">( I was going to wait for Saren to reply again before bring back Rodrick qwq )

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">(Indeed and likewise.)

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"The hell did you just do...?" Riven asked.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Rodrick came in, his ears flicked. "Mmm?"

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Stiper was no longer in the area. She had vanished.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"....... " He blinked. "She vanished..? How did she pull a hoodini..?"

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Minutes were passing with no activity. The emerald started to pulse faintly as something outside might have been seen if they stared on to the west.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Rodrick looks to the west as he blinks. "Mm..."

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

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">It was very hard to see at first, but slowly came further into view. Some kind of dark grey triangle in the sky, far out into space, getting closer

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"We're going to have problems Riven..." Rodrick points to what he was talking about.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"..... Fuuuuuck!!" Riven whined; this wasn't good, not at all..

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">(Rules do say to watch the language)

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">By the time it had finally stopped moving, the structure was casting a massive shadow over the area. Still in space, the very pull of its gravity woul raise up any water in the area.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Rodrick picks up the emerald, his wings twitched. "Eeh... Just great."

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">(Trisell; that was literally the only logical thing Riven would say lol ^^ Giant metal space giants y'know XD)

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Nearby lakes had their water pulled up, and Riven had a feeling that he was about to be screwed over big time by this thing.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">(I disagree)

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">A glowing door was opening from the front of the ship, a yellow light with something stepping out in front of it, before launching forward in an instant. The being crashed with a dug foot against the ground below some half-mile from Riven and Rodnick, before standing up to its full height.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">It certainly looked metallic, with streams of green and yellow glowing along the arms, a single visor eye at the mid-section of its head. It stood at around 15,000 feet total.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Rodrick wasn't frighten, but he was bothered and didn't know what would be a good idea at this point.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">(It's in his character lel; but eh, i'll tone down the language.)

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"What do we do what do we do what do we dooooo..!" Riven whined; science fiction told him well enough that giant space aliens coming from the sky never bodes well.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">The giant turned to the two of them, kneeling slightly. A booming voice speaking some sort of language came out, but it was quite foreign, or perhaps too loud to understand.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Riven plugged his ears. "Lower the volume! I can't tell what your saying..! Oh and speak galactic basic while you're at it!" Riven shouted; hopefully the giant heard him and actually knew what galactic basic was.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">'Hopefully galactic basic translates to english like in the books..'

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">(Really quick note here: Do you guys want to have it so that whenever one of us doesn't have something to add we just say "Skip me" so we don't have to wait so much?)

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">(Sure lel.)

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">( Justice: Sorry about that, Didn't turn on my computer at all yesterday )

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Rodrick had to cover his ears, as it was far more painful to him due to his species. "..."

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">(HOW DARE YOU *flaring nostril*)

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">The giant leaned down further toward them, pausing for a moment. After a few seconds it stated "Ah... you speak this one," the voice was still quite loud but at least understandable now.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">( -Was waiting for Saren, but I'm just going to make my post, lol) Rodrick covers his ears once more. "Watch the volcume, some of us have senstive hearing." He grumbles a bit.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">(Partially my fault.  I should be skype-notifying more)

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"Are you here for my Xbox!?" Riven shouted. "If so I shall unleash the fury of Ten thousand Fi-.... Wait, nevermind; you're too big for that to work..."

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"... Hm..." The giant figure slowly knelt down, though even at the speed it was causing large gusts of wind. His finger extended, one of six, toward them.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Though the gust of wing seem to pick up Rodrick, no thanks to his bat wings, and he kind of flew a bit away from Riven and the Giant. "!!" He struggle to land on his feet once the gust of wind died down.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Riven wasn't so lucky, as the gusts of wind happened to carry a cow... Said cow happened to land on Riven; who was incapacitated by the stink.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">-ding ding ding! T.K.O!-

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">A large sigh came from the giant as he noticed this. His finger stilled some yards from the ground. "That... was not my intention actually.  It is very hard to not damage small things here, but..."

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">A green glow formed in the spot where Stiper teleported from. The emerald began to glow.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Rustic grumbles a bit, his wings flap a bit; he did pick up the emerald before the arrival of the giant, so he did glance at it. "..."

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"It's raining cows.. @-@" Riven mumbled before passing out.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">The remaining energy from the area Stiper stood at began flowing toward the finger of the giant, as a faint pull toward the emerald started.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Rodrick grip onto the emerald at this point, not letting go; this leads to him being slightly dragged with the Emerald in his hand, but he was going to need to use both his hands if he didn't want to dislocate his arm.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">(Riven's passed out lol; cow to the gut does that.)

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">(https://66.media.tumblr.com/2f83b74470505d538d8dc3e7162bb51c/tumblr_nyd0f67jJh1skwd9oo1_500.gif)

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">The pull ended soon after as the other energy moved to the giant's finger. He stood up again, turning to the sun. "That's yours?  This is your world?"

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Rodrick exhales a sigh, holding the emerald- He thought he might get kidnap or something. "Eh... More like this world belongs to those that live here, like Riven... I came from another world, but never was able to return, nor do I really want to... Why do you ask?" Rodrick eyes furrowed a tiny bit.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"Hm... I am... going to look things over," pressure began flattening the ground around as the giant slowly floated upward.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Riven groggily woke up, after removing himself from underneath the cow he set about healing any minor injuries; leaving the more severe injuries for when he fully wakes up.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Rodrick shield his eyes a bit as he watched the giant, grumbling. "Just... Be careful of the place."

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Once some couple dozen yards into the air, the massive figure rushed out of sight.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">".... What was that..?" Riven asked.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">".... A giant creature thingy, I don't know." Rodrick grumbles, going to Riven.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">It took a few minutes but Stiper reappeared. "Is everyone okay?  Did something happen?"

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"Giant creature thingy appeared, actually spoke and didn't seem hostile.."

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"... Wha-" She shook her head a bit. "O-okay, wait, how did it appear?  Did it just like... t-teleport here like me or did it fly in or...?"

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"It flew in..." Rodrick thinks a bit. "via a Ship..." He nods.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"Very spooky."

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"... If... okay, maybe- i-if it didn't teleport in maybe it's not from the zone the others were..."

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"You think we can get it to leave without potentially screwing up the planet?"

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"I don't know, I doubt it'll be of a good form of reason." Rodrick blinks, thinking as he cross his arms.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"If it's... from this zone," Stiper contemplated, "then... maybe we could reason... Ei-either way, uh, I have- told the others like me about it.  If it goes badly, they'll help."

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"That's a relief.."

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Rodrick thinks about this. "...Mmm..."

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"Oh hey, the emerald changed," Stiper began. "You ca-" she stopped. A high-pitched sound was starting to come from the far distance.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"Now that isn't a good sound." Rodrick glances towards were that sound was coming from.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"Whyyyyyyyyy!? Q~Q"

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Stiper began stepping away as the giant stopped mid-flight over them, high into the air.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">'Not the castle not the castle not the caaaastle..! q-q' Riven thought to himself, he reeeally hoped this thing didnt just plop down on his castle.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"Is your planet populated?" The giant called.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">(Somehow I missed the "Is y" in "Is your planet populated".  My apologies, I fixed.)

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"Yes; it's populated! I'd rather you not pull a Galactus on me and eat the planet!"

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"There were many people I saw around the planet," The giant noted. "... Are there many of that?" He pointed toward them all with the massive finger. It may have been that he was pointing at Stiper, but the margin was quite large.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"Depends on who you're pointing at, Giant... Um... I'm not sure what honestly. If you mean me? Eeeeh, Don't know, maybe. If you mean Him" Points at Riven. "Then kind of, I mean, mostly, but still." He then looks at Striper. "... I've got no comment for you honestly." Rodrick blinks.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"> (Awaiting Rivenness)

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"She's the only one I know of..! Other than that you find humans, furries or other mythical creatures out of a Dungeons abd Dragons game!"

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"... You don't know me?" Stiper tensed.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"... Should I?"

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">A burning fume of energy started up around the hooded girl. "YOU ATE ONE OF MY FRIENDS!  MY PEOPLE!"

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">The giant appeared unphased, turning ever so slightly to Riven and Rodnick as if asking them for clarification.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Rodrick just shurgs before looking to Stiper. "He might not be the same one." He felt the fur on his body just standing. "Maybe you need to relax at least, last thing me and the Dark lord here is to get in a fight with something unknown..."

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"Exactly; cause I have a feeling that there is nothing here that can even leave a scratch on the giant should he decide that he doesn't want us to live." Riven sighed.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"I have never met any of you before clearly," The giant added. "I could not have eaten you... energy person, because I have not eaten in years."

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"Why are you here then?" Stiper called up, slowly calming.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"I saw your sun," He informed, "and your planet is lively, though small."

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"Well, Taking a look at us, we're quite 'small' compare to you." Rodrick stated, looking to the Giant.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"... I have no idea who attacked your friends," The giant noted. "They were like me?"

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Stiper nodded, but the giant didn't respond to this. "Yes," she answered.

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

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"I'm not..." she shook her head. "I'm not saying..."

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Rodrick just listens quietly.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"Huh..? Odd.."

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"... I am going to test the state of your sun," The giant noted. "I really have no idea what has happened."

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"Whoa whoa whoa. If the sun goes black or goes out of hand, it could very well end all life on this planet!" Rodrick tenses at just the word 'test'.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"I am not going to modify it," The giant replied. "I am looking to make sure it is stable for me, which will result in confirming it is stable for you."

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Rodrick just blinks with a form of confusion now. ". . ."

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Riven blinked. "Soooo friggin confused.."

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">The giant was soon gone to the sky. "He's probably going to eat your sun," Stiper tensed.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"Hint why I said Sun goes Black!?" Rodrick groans with annoyances, his hands going to the top of his head and just messing up his own hair as he was clearly annoyed. "ARRRGH!" He takes a deep breathe before exhaling to try and come himself down.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"Look; giant space alien.. Do you honestly believe we have anything that could stop it..?" Riven asked. "No; so just try not to piss the thing off."

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"I- a-actually," Stiper began. "I told the others about this... they'll come to help soon."

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Rodrick became calm. "Let's just hope it doesn't eat the sun."

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"And risk untold property damage when it has clearly shown no signs of hostility..? Yeaaaahhh; I'mma try diplomacy first." Riven said.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">(Apologies.  Can't reply at the moment.  Neck is killing me.)

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"Well... if you-"

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"Alright," A second figure made herself visible to the group: a thin snake-eye-like woman with long metal-gauntlet arms and legs connected to glowing cracks at her chest. She was black with yellow markings. "I'm Commander Sentarin of the Isis Dominion.  My team is in waiting for the return of the Ror Vlaseph--yes that's what they're called--and if you fail to keep him in your favor, we will be forced to act."

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Rodrick blinks, his fur tenses before glancing to Riven quietly. "... Well, Riven? You're the Dark Lord here."

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"Alright.. Question is, how the heck am I gonna get in contact with him..?"

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"If he is nonhostile, one of my officers will inform him that you wish to speak with him," The Identity commander replied. "Or you can wait till he comes back if you prefer."

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Rodrick looks to Riven, waiting for an answer.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"I guess I could wait." Riven shrugged. "Just if you guys start fighting, leave the planet out of it; I still need this planet."

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">(Employment makes everything take forever.)

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">In the distance there were sparks were seen, five in total,very large. One of the Identities rushed into the atmosphere to find the Vlaseph.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">".... The heck..?"

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"Might be a problem." Rodrick sighs, thinking a bit before looking at Riven.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Seconds later, five appeared. They were miles away, but still very visible. The tallest was massive, multiple glows, like hearts beating, came from his chest as a mist-like energy flew out from him.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"Ya think..?" Riven told Rodrick Sarcastically.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"That attitude with me won't make this any better." Rodrick looks to Riven.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">The original Vlaseph could be seen slowly floating down toward Riven and Rodnick with the Identity. The others did not seem to notice them for the moment.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"Hey, Let me have this dang iiiit Q~Q" Riven whined before looking at the Vlaseph. "Uhh, hey there big space giant..?"

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Rodrick stays quiet, standing next to Riven.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"What happened?" The Vlaseph asked as he returned.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"Have you finished checking our sun?" Riven asked.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Rodrick just stays quiet.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"No, you called me back and now... those are here," He looked to the Vlasephs as they neared.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">(Don't you mean Identities?)

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"Ahh. well, carry on then.. And for the love of god, if these guys end up fighting you for whatever stupid reason.. Do it on the Moon.. Or the neighboring continent of Eurish... Screw that place."

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Rodrick nods quietly, as if agreeing with Riven as his wings shift a bit.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">(Nope.  The Vlasephs.  The other Vlasephs are approaching them.)

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"I... will try to find out what they want," The Vlaseph walked over to the others. They stopped as he approached, some taking defensive stances,but as he continued to walk without any sign of aggression, they relaxed a bit. The words were quite different, not translatable at this moment. The militia group of Identities looked on at them.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"Even if he does help, those are five of them," The leading Identity-- Sentarin-- informed. "We've developed a field to teleport them away if needed.  You said the moon?"

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"Yeeees, use the Moon.. The Arch Magi can magic up a new one or so the rumors say.."

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Rodrick blinks. "Yea..." He shrugs a bit.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"Do you plan to participate in the... event?"

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"Most definitely not, Giant metal space invaders are not part of the job description."

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"That, it be unwise..." Rodrick stated calmly.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"... It is doubtful that our forces of this number will impact the Vlasephs if a battle occurs," Sentarin explained. "I can contact my superiors to ask for more forces, but there will be a condition."

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"And what is that..?" Riven asked.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Rodrick sighs with a huff. "..."

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"Your zone would agree to an alliance between it and the Isis Dominion."

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"Zone..?" Riven blinked. "What would this Alliance entail..?" He asked.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Rodrick seem... Uncomfortable about this, honestly.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"Support against enemies, trade of resources, political positions given to leaders of this zone... other... parts," She seemed to be trying to recall the rest.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"Consider it a deal." Riven said with very little hesitation, the gears turning in his head.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">" Ahem... My Lord...The 'Other part' statement doesn't... Affect you?" Rodrick asked softly, being Riven's aid and all.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"We can discuss the specifics later," The Identity Commander informed. "Right now I think keeping your planet from being destroyed is preferable."

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"Planet saved first; semantics later my good friend.." Riven told Rodrick, of course the other part statement worried him; but four metal space giants that are potentially hostile are far more pressing at this very moment.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"As long as we can come to a reasonable and understandable agreement, then yes, the safety of our planet is important." Rodrick nods.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Sentarin nodded, stepping away for a moment. "I'll have the response to the Vlasephs prepared.  If the Vlaseph cannot convince them, we will act."

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"And now.. We wait.."

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Rodrick blinks, waiting.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">The conversation didn't seem to last too long. The first Vlaseph turned to Rodnick and Riven, only for the tallest of the Vlasephs to slam his fist against his back, sending the Vlaseph into the ground.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"Oh Sh*t!! Not goood!!" Riven said. "Use the moon'aaa!"

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Rodrick tenses, growling as he slightly step in front of Riven. "It be wise right about now."

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">A blast of green shot up throughout the area. Five of the six Vlasephs vanished. Unfortunately the one remaining was not the non-hostile Vlaseph, but fortunately not the largest. Noticing that his allies were gone, he immediately turned about before focusing in on the small group.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"Now how did that old spell go again.." Riven muttered, reaching in his pockets and pulling out a thick black leatherbound tome with occultic iconogrophy embroidered on the cover.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Rodrick growls as he draws his longsword, using his corruption powers to form an aura on his Longsword. "Well, I guess I'll have to keep him off of you, Riven." His wings open widely.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Sentarin began modifying her arm, various gears and strips of energy forming along it. The Vlaseph yelled at the four of them, his hands tightening into fists as a yellow energy formed in them.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"It's self-evident, but do not let that energy touch you.  It will literally burn out your life force," Sentarin informed. "Also I have no idea what he's saying so he is probably goi-"

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">A fist swung down at the four.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Riven opened the Tome. "One thing good about Restoration Magic.." Riven started to say as the tome let out a bright glow before magic circles spawned underneath his allies in this fight.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"It's not just limited to healing.." Riven said, Rodrick and Sentarin probably felt as if they had gained an extra layer of protection and speed.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Rodrick narrowed his eyes as he shift his footing to balance out his weight and strength as he used his corruption aura coated longsword to block the attack- as using himself to keep the fist from hiting down on Riven.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Sentarin immediately attempted to teleport the four of them away, but the magical energy conflicted with her move, causing only a small explosion from her chest. Stiper... mostly stood there terrified.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">The fist came down at a weight of roughly 5,000 tons.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">(uhh, kinda confused here on how it would've conflicted with her move; I mean unless she were using mana itself instead of chaos energy, otherwise it shouldn't have interfered as it was not meant to hamper but buff.)

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">(Chaos Energy and Magical Energy cancel each other out basically.)

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">(Did not know that.)

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Riven, having to act fast for a change, quickly performed a mass teleporting spell with the tome in hand on the four; hopefully teleporting out of range of the massive fist that was about to squish the four of them

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">(It's because you're too mainstream sips coffee, fixes glasses, checks twitter)

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">(Skip for me? lol )

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Stiper and Sentarin winced at the sudden change,but were roughly teleported all the same, if some feet away from the desired area. The ground shook with the impact of the fist, breaking down twelve yards down.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Sentarin shot her arm into the giant, detaching it immediately afterward. "GET BACK!"

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"C'mooon C'mooon.. Doesn't this book have any useful summoning spells..?" Riven muttered, flipping through the pages.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">

Summer (DeathstroketheHedgehog)
(Is there only one figure like this, or is this another one specifically for me?)

(This is your own starter just for you. Generally these are meant to be only one-on-one, but having three will complicate things. You continue from the original starter.)

(I'll assume you mean there is my own identity to help and move on from there. correct me if I am wrong.)

Summer was on a private beach, sunbathing. She isn't usually a person who likes being alone, but she usually doesn't mind if she's just sunbathing.

When the identity crashes into the beach, Summer looks over, surprised and awestruck. She walked over to the hole, peering at what was in there, and then she'll see her, half melted into the ground. At first, Summer could only look surprised, as she didn't know how to react to this.

The figure slowly glanced about. She seemed to notice Summer as her faceless was was pointing at her direction.

In a few seconds, Summer had quickly dug out nearby sand so it make be easier to pick up the 'meteorite girl' as she dubbed it.

"Don't worry, I'm here to help you," she said as she took a closer look at the identity.

Slowly the girl nodded. Her arms and legs cracked, slowly disconnecting as she shook a bit, not seeming able to move quite yet.

Summer examined the situation, then she thought up an idea. She flew up high in the sky, then suddenly bolted away to grab a mattress of her bed before returning, placing it down in the sand. She planned to pick up the girl and place her there. "Don't move, it seems that you are hurting yourself, whether you feel it or not." She calmly stated.

The girl started to nod, but then stopped, understanding the situation.

Okay, Summer thought, how to do this... after some thought, she carefully wrapped her magical aura around the girl to safely take her out. In an attempt to calm her down, Summer decided to distract for the moment.

"So... what's your name?" She asked.

She tried to talk, but her voice was too distorted to pronounce anything correctly at the moment.

After the awkward response, Summer continued, "You can tell me that later, then.. I know someone who can fix you up in no time," she said as flew at a casual but quick pace towards a mountainside.

The arms and legs fully detached at this point. Slowly, like a growing crystal, they began repairing as the girl slowly stopped shaking.

Summer glanced down, and had no idea how to respond to this. She simply approached the mountain at a faster speed, and arriving there, Summer placed the girl down, still holding her with her aura, as she called out, "STAAAR! I NEED YOUR HELP!" Summer glanced back to see if the condition got worse.

The girl was completely still at this point. No breathing could be seen... but now that it was brought up, she didn't seem to have been breathing when she first appeared either.

Eventually the wind shifted, and a ton of green leaves flew threw the wind. Once the leaves left, Star was there.

"Star, this... person needs your help."

As star looked over at her, she asked, "Summer, what the hell is that?"

"How am I supposed to know? She fell from the sky! Are you going to help her?"

"It looks like someone tried to get rid of her in a blender--"

"Star, please."

"Okay, okay," Star said before placing the palm of her hand on the midsection of the injured girl. Soon, a pink aura would appear around the 'meteorite girl', attempting to heal her wounds.

Strange black sand began to appear around the body as white sparks began forming.

Star glanced at Summer with a sign of worry. They had no idea if they were helping or harming the girl by now.

Eventually the face of the girl turned completely white. The black sand began to burn away as she jerked up to a sitting position, a loud scream screeching out from her.

Star immediately jerked back, stopping the healing process. "What the hell! Did I summon a demon?!"

Summer looked over at the creature, using her aura around the girl to nullify the sound, waiting to see what happens next.

It took almost a minute but the girl finally relaxed, bracing her newly-reformed hands on the ground as she pulsed from white to her original colors repeatedly, silently.

Summer gently removed the aura. "Are... are you okay?" She asked.

"I-... think... so..." She paused as if panting but her chest didn't show any signs of it, neither did the sound of breathing come from her words.

"I have no idea what kind of creature she is. You, Summer?" Star asked.

"Star, she's right there-- You know what? Nevermind." Summer turned towards the creature. "Do you remember anything before coming here, ma'am?"

Her head shrunk between her shoulders with tension as she nodded. "The giants..."

This time, Star didn't say anything. She's had a bad reputation with giants before.

Summer continued. "What about these giants? Are they coming here now? Who are they?"

"... I don't know," She answered between pauses, small sparks appear every couple of seconds. "... We were just- just at a different zone..."

"Summer," Star stated, "you can travel to different zones, right?"

"There's no point in me going if I don't know where I'm going," she replied. "Maybe we can be able to help her if she gets time for a proper rest." Summer extended a hand at the creature.

The girl looked over to her, then gently took her hand. "I... just need... I need to be able to calm... focus..."

"My house isn't far from here," Star stated. "We can take you there to calm down."

"I thought you said this whole forest was your house," Summer questioned.

"...yes... what I meant to say was my bedroom... anyways..." Star used her magic to bend plants and trees out of the way, showing a little cabin not too far away.

"... Okay..." The girl stood up a bit, walking toward the house.

The house seemed like a normal cabin, but when close to it, one could see it was made of living wood, ever so slightly moving. At the presence of Star, brown spores opened up, lowering noise in the surrounding area while giving off a lavender scent. Since there was no door, anyone could easily walk in.

The girl paused a moment to look over the exterior before stepping inside. "Reminds me of... the Pink-Type.. ones."

Star took a seat, making two more seats from the living wood through some sort of nature telekinesis. "Who are these... Pink Type?"

"They can use their power to change their elements... like plants and things."

"Really? Sounds interesting. Have a seat," she said.

Summer took the nearest seat to her, and began questioning the girl. "For starters, who are you?"

"Stiper," She answered. "I'm... I'm calle- my kind are called 'Identities'.  We don't really come from anywhere specifically.  We just appear on different worlds and... see what happens from there..."

"You... just, appear... I'm not buying this, are you buying this, Summer?"

Summer ignored her friend for the moment. "So is that how you fell from the sky, or is there more to it?"

"N-no," The sand-like-formed girl shook her head. "I've been around for some years already... I fell from the sky?" It took her a few seconds. "Oh! Oh yeah..." She started shaking again. "The giants... That's- yeah... me and others were just at a different zone. We do that a lot: visit different zones. We were just walking around when people started giving us attention. We were showing off: making fireworks with our powers and things but... we must have gotten the wrong kind of attention."

"Believe me, I know how that feels," Summer empathized, shuddering at a memory of another planet she visited.

"Keep the story going," Star demanded in a cheeky tone.

Stiper waited a bit for herself to stop shaking, a pulse of white repeatedly forming around her for a bit. "Okay... we-...we were found by these, big metal giants... They weren't even looking for us at first, but then they sensed our energy... they," her voice started to become distorted, like a ripple, "they tried to absor- they ate one of the others. They tried t-," Her face turned white again.

Summer instantly walked over to her. "If you don't want to talk about it now, you can wait, we'll give you time."

"Yeah, your face looks like you're about to throw up. I have my limits--"

"Star.. please."

"Th..." She remained unstable but forced herself to finish, "that was the end of it. I teleported away... here..."

"So... do you know what zone you were in?" Star asked. "If you do, Summer can just teleport there and one punch those giants, happily ever after."

Summer shot a look at star. "... sometimes I wonder how did we become friends..."

"keep wondering, Summer, keep wondering."

Summer returned her attention to the identity. "Need anything?"

"I... need to tell the others."

"There's more people falling from the sky?!" Star said astonished.

Stiper shook her head. "I need to get back to where a lot of us live... the Dominion."

"I can take you there if I knew where it was. I can travel anywhere in the multiverse," Summer stated.

"I- I can get there," Stiper explained. "But... I need... I need to be able to focus."

"Will you need me to accompany you?"

"I... don't know if I could take two people right now... I- I'll come back as soon as I can... I don't know if th-" She suddenly stiffened. "oh no," she ran out of the house.

Star and Summer followed. "What's going on?" Star said, suddenly going from a sarcastic tone to a serious tone.

Stiper looked around the sky rapidly before relaxing a bit. "Okay... it's... not here... I don't think they followed me..."

Aaand, sarcastic tone returns. "Seriously? I was all cozy in my seat, I had the perfect position and everything!"

Summer took up to the sky, getting a better view. "What did you think was happening?" She asked Stiper.

"I just thought, m-maybe the giants could teleport, I wasn't sure. If they like... traced me or something then they might've come here... I, I really should go tell the others..."

"Just tell me where I need to go, I can follow you there on my own power," Summer said.

"Don't mind me," Star interjected, "I'm just gonna stay here then.."

"I don't really know how to tell you where to go..." Stiper rose her hand up, projecting a beam of energy into the sky.

"It's a beam of energy?" Star exclaimed. "Well now I can be useful!" She walked up to the beam, analyzing what it was, and where it was headed.

The energy was chaotic in nature, but concentrated. it only seemed to be going straight up to the atmosphere, fading out eventually. Stiper flickered a bit, the energy building around her before she vanished from sight, the beam running out as she vanished.

"...Do you know where she went?" Summer asked.

"Hard to pinpoint the exact location, it's chaotic energy," Star stated. "I can give you a close guess, but give me a second to concentrate more." She tried focusing on the energy more, seeing if she can figure out where it went.

(The energy surrounding Stiper or the beam?  Also WELCOME BACK ^__^)

(Star can sense the energy of the cosmos, so she could actually pick up both if she wanted to. She's focused on the beam, though. Also, thanks for the welcoming.)

The energy going outward had only reached thirty yards. If it had gone forever, it would have been several billion miles before it hit a planet--which was entirely barren--but judging by the lesser amount comparison from the origin point of the energy to the further areas, it wouldn't have gone further than a few miles if it had remained to begin with.

A trace of the energy specifically where Stiper stood did keep a trace of the teleportation field. Some jungle-filled area on another zone, but another placed there, fresh, to some other location.

Once again, Star was not her sarcasm self, she was her true open-minded self. "I've... never seen this zone before... it must be where she came from."

"Can you open the portal there?" Summer asked.

"...I'm gonna need help to do this faster. Was there anything that you left from where she fell?"

"Umm... be right back," she said as she swiftly flew over to the crash site of the identity. Summer peered over the hole again.

The burnt off legs and arms from before seemed to still be at the crash-sight, having nearly burnt up if they weren't glazed over already.

Knock knock, came a telepathic shout from Star. What did you find?

Only the remains of her original limbs, Summer replied.

''Good, that's perfect, just what we need. Can you bring some of it back to me?''

...What?

Summer, don't be a wuss.

Summer shuddered at the thought. Fine, she mentally yelled, before picking up one of the legs and dashing back to Star.

Once Star got her hands on the limb, with much more confidence than Summer, she examined the nanites of it supernaturally. She used this to better pinpoint Stiper, since this was her original part of her body.

They were composed of a mixture of some kind of foreign metal, a stone material, and remnants of the same energy from before in addition to a far fainter trace of some other element. The charge in them didn't appear to have any sign of previous location due to how long ago they had been there since their last teleportation.

"It's official," Star stated, "she's a robot."

"What are y--"

"It's just that her body doesn't seem... natural," she said.

"..So we can't use it?"

"We can barely use it. Her teleportation energy was our best bet, and I can either be on the money, or many lightyears off."

Summer gave it some thought. She rose up to the sky, gaining some sunlight for her and her solar energy cells. "Go ahead and make the portal, I'll fly around and see if I can find her. If I can't, I'll leave."

"We don't know if it's safe or not!" Star exclaimed. "What if you don't return?"

"No one said heroism was easy."

"... I did."

"... are you opening the portal or what?"

"Fine. If you die, I'll kill you," Star stated before making the portal with the little information she has. You better hope you win the lottery, Star thought as she finished making the portal.

Summer flew right in.

They arrived in the jungle-like section, a faint remnent of the energy going to the secondary location still remaining to their left.

Summer took a moment to assess her situation. Star, can you reach into my eyes and see if you can find her?

''You're in the right place, but you're zones away. It will be a while before I can connect to you. Look for her yourself while I try to gain your sight.''

Star was then gone from Summer's head, and she was alone. The first thing she did was use her thermal senses to find any nearby life.

Mostly it was just plantlife about. Some wildlife was in the far distance but the only source in the area was the energy going to the secondary location some feet from them.

With no other path to take, Summer began approaching that area.

Once in the process of opening a connection to that world, a vision of a black face formed. It simply spoke "Not authorized."

Summer was confused at first, having no idea what she had run into. "Um... hello?" She shyly stated.

"You are attempting to access a private zone connection.  You will be locked out in the next thirty seconds.  State your business immediately for later contact."

"Umm, I'm Summer... I'm here for a certain Identity in particular."

"Which Identity?  Why?"

"...She needs my help. Her name... Stiper, if I recall correctly."

"What is your zone name?"

"Uhh--"

''First Set AVON9583. You should really remember these things, Summer'', stated Star, apparently getting a grab of Summer finally.

I don't remember names,    Summer replied back,  ''they're way too long. I just... know where to go. L'ike not knowing the names of streets when driving.''

''You aren't driv-- forget it. Are you going to tell him or not?... or her... it?... just tell the guardian.''

"First Set, AVON9583," Summer stated proudly to the creature..

"You will be contacted appropriately.  Depending on the importance of your information, you may be contacted within the hour.  Do not attempt to access this area again without permission."

The sound of Star's thoughts were annoyed. Don't tell me I wasted my time making that portal just for you to get turned down...

Summer looked up to the being. "But this is an emergency!" She exclaimed. "She could possibly be killed!"

"Then expect to be contacted soon," The portal began to close down as the area was being rechannelled to a different zone.

Feeling defeated, but determined, Summer didn't return to her home Zone. She instead, flew out to space to find the nearest star.

The portal closed as she left to find a star. Seeing a nearby one, she moved towards it, heading to the core of the star to both have a thinking place an an energy gaining area.

She started thinking''. If I were Stiper, where would I be?...''

Star interjected Summer's thoughts. ''Nowhere where you would look. We barely know her.''

You're right on that... stay at the house, in case she returns. I'll stay here, and hopefully I will find her on my own.

She proceeded to head back to the planet, landing in the same jungle as before with the guide of Star.

As she arrived, she noticed that there was a very large triangular shadow over the jungle.

She turned around to see what was causing the shadow.

It was far into space, but the size made it quite visible: a gigantic triangular ship.

Since she had no other thing to do at the moment, she swiftly flew towards the spaceship.

A door began to open. As the ship itself spanned for miles, the door was nearly a mile high, a bright yellow light coming from it.

...Summer? Star asked. ...You probably shouldn't walk towards the light.

Curiosity got the best of awestrucked Summer. Who says I'm walking? she replied before flying up to the door.

As she neared the door, something shot out. In and instant it was landing at the planet's surface below. If Summer did not move out of the way, she would feel the full impact of the 15,000 ft figure now kneeling on the planet's floor.

Due to being caught off guard since she is the type of person to be relaxed outside of combat, she was hit by the creature, smashing into the surface.

The giant didn't seem to notice, or even feel her against its massive metal-like skin as it slowly stood, observing the area.



Summer shrugged off the assault, and assuming this was one of the enemies that Stiper was talking about, she began attempting to lift up the foot of the giant.

The giant looked over at her. A blasting voice came out, shaking the trees with the volume, though the language seemed foreign.

Summer nearly dropped the giant on her from the sudden noise, her fox ears being particularly keen at hearing. She held the giant with one hand has she rubbed her ears of blood with another, then continued to try to lift the giant.

The giant pushed again against her, making shooing motions with one hand. The burst of wind from the simple motion was enough to crack the air.

Summer, I don't think a pushing contest is gonna be really helpful. Star said. Wasn't the whole point of this was to follow that alien?

You're not being helpful right now...

''I warned you not to go towards the light. Not my fault you got squished. Be lucky you're alive.''

Shut up already! Still, Summer did believe that Star was right that a pushing contest wasn't going to help. She used her speed to quickly escape from the giant smashing his foot to the ground.

As the foot came crashing down, the giant swung his arms a bit to reclaim his balance, the motion sending even large cyclones of wind about as he glanced around for Summer, still calling out in the strange language.

Summer flew up toward the being's face so she knew it would see her, emanating a fiery aura to make sure. "It'd help if you speak English!" She yelled. "Or... at least Spanish... or Hikasian.."

"... I do not recognize those languages, but I recognize the one you are speaking now," The giant answered, voice still booming.

Good, I'm making progress, she thought. She yelled to the giant again. "Who are you?!"

"Who ar-" He paused as a small light began forming at the ground below. Stiper reappeared from the light.

"Stiper?" Summer said, before diving to the ground in half a second.

"Hi, I j-uuuuuuuuuuuu-" she fell back. "It's- it's it's..."

Summer ran over to her, picking her up. "It's alright," she said, "you can tell me later." Summer looked back at the giant.

"Is this the normal population?" The giant called down.

Confused at this sudden change of pace, she looked at Stiper for any answers.

Stiper just looked back at her, tilting her head with confusion.

"How many live on this planet?" The giant asked again.

"Uuh... we don't know.." was all Summer could say as a response.

The giant turned to the sky. "Your sun is healthy."

"Um..." Star, you can be useful right now, Summer thought.

I got nothing.

Of course you don't... Summer looked at Stiper again to see if she was as confused as her.

The giant turned back, now looking directly at the three again. "What is that?" He seemed to point at all of them with how large his finger was, but most-likely he was meaning something specific.

Summer flew up, turning around to see if there was anything odd that would be worth pointing at.

It seemed to just be the three of them.

"The hood," The giant clarified. Stiper stepped back further.

Summer turned around, looking at the hood that Stiper was wearing. Summer landed beside her, and assumed that Stiper was hiding herself.

Stiper, what's going on? Her face read.

"Y-you don't know what I am?" Stiper meekly called up.

"... Should I?  You are glowing with energy... actually," He looked to Summer. "You are glowing with energy also... a different energy, like the sun's."

So he can read energy like Star can, she thought. "Um, yes. You could consider the Sun as a part of me."

"... I see..."

"Y... YOU ATE ONE OF MY-" Stiper started yelling out before nearly collapsing, crouching as she started to vibrate.

"... I do not remember meeting anyone like you... any of you," the giant turned to the sky. "... Your sun..."

Ignoring the giant after seeing what was happening to Stiper, Summer crouched over to her.

"Stiper! Are you alright?!" Summer exclaimed.

"I... why is it here...?" She forced out.

"I don't know," Summer replied. "What happened to you?"

"Why is it here?" She asked again, slowly looking up at the giant who was still staring off at the sun.

"Do you know who it is?"

"It's one of the giants!" She replied.

Summer glanced back at the beast. She didn't want to rush in just yet, since the giant seemed to be causing no harm, the only time he caused harm being by accident.

She flew up to the giant so he could see her, brightening her aura to be more visible. "Why have you come here?" she asked the giant.

"I am searching for energy and sustainable worlds.  I saw the signal of energy from you three and investigated."

"Why would you need to look for more worlds?"

"Because mine is gone."

"Oh... I'm sorry to hear that..." Summer said, looking down in sorrow.

Star interjected her thoughts. ''I thought the giant was, you know, the "badguy". I think Stiper hit her head on the way down, he just seems like he's looking for a new home.''

I... never thought of him being on our side until now, Summer said. Maybe we should ask Stiper what she remembers about the giant since she had time to recover.

''That's your job, not mine. I'm just part of your subconscious'', Star sarcastically replied. Summer sighed, and flew down to Stiper.

Stiper just looked back and forth between Summer and the giant.

"Stiper," she asked. "Do you have any memory of what the giants have done?"

"W- yes," She replied.

"What have they done to you?"

"I told you earlier..."

In a quieter voice, Summer whispered, "but are you sure you don't know why they want to absorb you?"

"To get stronger."

Summer thought about it, then she glanced at the giant. She had the type of personality where someone is innocent until proven guilty, but now she is feeling guilty for not trusting Stiper. Eventually, Summer sighed as she flew back up to the giant.

"I've heard that you absorbed the lives of people. Is this correct?"

"... Is that a figure of speech?" The giant questioned. "... No.  The answer is no."

"Right..." Star?

On it, she replied as she took over for the eyes of Summer, looking at the giant to see if there were any extra souls within him.

The energy coming off him was constant. While his body was quite dense, only the strips about seemed to show off signatures. Nothing appeared to be multiple.

A group of booming noises came from far out of sight in the left.

Being both a fox and having supernatural senses, Summer could clearly hear this. She asked the giant another question.

"How many like you are here, or are coming here?"

"I am a... lone..." The giant turned to the sound as sparks of energy were seen. "I... thought..."

Summer, distracted as well, turned to see what caused these sparks of energy.

With each arrival, the planet shook. One, then three, then five. The tallest had a beaming chest with energy flowing around him like a mist almost. Five new giants.

Yep, Star said, you should've trusted Stiper from the beginning.

Innocent, until proven guilty, Summer replied. Still, the arrival of the new giants did make Summer lose trust in the initial giant. She turned back to him and crossed her arms.

"How about you tell me the truth, now?" She said in a demanding tone.

"I have," He replied with a slight growl, moving his massive hand to shove her away from his face.

Summer placed her hand out, attempting to stop the immense hand. "Yeah, I can see that you're telling the truth," she replied sarcastically, clenching her other fist, adrenaline beginning to pump from her.

Star, I need--

''Yeah yeah, I know. Watch your back'', she replied.

The giant seemed to grunt as he turned to talk away but the other giants were already making their way toward the group.

"Tell your little family over there to stop where they're are," she said, "or else I'll treat you all as a threat."

A loud humming formed in response to this as the giant's energy-striped arm began to glow brighter, his hands tightening. The tensing of his pressing fingers made the sound of dozens of tree-trunks, cracking and bending. "I have no family."

Unaware of what was going on, Summer flew back a bit, preparing to block whatever was coming.

The giant began to walk onward but stopped when one of the giants--who were now very much in range--called out to him, saying something in a foreign language. The giant didn't answer, but he didn't move either, so they called again. Finally he called back something else. The sentences back and forth seemed far different from each other, as if different languages from each other entirely.

Star, see if you can project into their minds, try to figure it out.

''I have limits, Summer. The only way that's possible from this far away is if you make contact near their brain.' And that's the last thing you wanna do for the moment.''

Summer glanced down at Stiper to see if she was fine.

Stiper was standing put on the ground, though considering she wasn't moving at all, she didn't seem particularly okay with the current situation.

The giant turned to Summer. "Hide the hood girl."

Summer agreed on that only because she wanted Stiper to be safe. She flew down to Stiper, grabbing her hand. "I need you to relax, and not freak out with what I'm about to do next, okay? It's important that you relax."

Stiper looked at her silently, tilting her head a bit in confusion.

"Okay," Summer said as she began vibrating both her and Stiper's molecules, allowing them to go invisible. She flew up a decent height in the sky, Summer looking for a safe spot to hide Stiper.

"T-this f-fe-feels-s w-w-riir-rid..." Stiper stuttured out.

Seeing a cave, Summer quickly darted towards it, laying Stiper down, and unphasing.

"What are we doing?" Stiper asked.

"Stay here, I don't want you to get hurt as I try to figure out what's going on," Summer answered as she stood up.

"Oh... kay..." she remained still.

Summer then went to fly back to the giants, going invisible again to see how the giants will act.

The original Vlaseph immediately threw his arm in front of her. He shook his head silently at her as the others continued talking at him. "We see your energy," He whispered as quietly as he could manage, though at his volumes and considering he could hear their voices at a regular amount, it seemed pointless.

Well, there goes stealth mode, Summer thought. She stop phasing, making sure to stay in a position to get enough sunlight. In case anything major happens, Summer wanted all the energy she could get.

"Get out of sight from them.  If I can convince them that there isn't anything worth taking, they may leave... if they aren't after your sun."

Summer did as he said. "They can sense my energy, and in case you didn't know, it's pretty big... distance is all I can give you right now." Once she closer to the cave in the mountain, she used her enhanced sight and hearing to listen on to what was happening.

The giants continued talking in the strange language. After a few minutes some blasts were heard against the ground.

Summer immediately darted ten miles up and over the giants. She used her vision to see what the blasts were.

The original Vlaseph remained standing, looking down a bit as the others had launched into space. Summer took guard, having no idea how to respond, ready to take them all on at the same time if she had to.

"They're flying up to your sun," He informed. "You may want to... I don't know."

"Right.." she said, unaware of what the giants wanted with the sun, but she knew that the closer she got to the sun, the more formidable she would be in the case a battle started. She began flying ahead to attempt to catch up to the giants.

The giant flew after her immediately. "You're going to fight them up there?"

"Is... there a problem?"

"Aside from hoping you don't die... if you-... kill them..."

"I'm not planning on killing them. I'm arresting them. That's not me," She said with a demanding tone. She didn't like to think or herself as a killer, though she was forced to come across that line a few times in her life.

"..." He flew away from the area.

Right then, she thought. She remembered about her energy giving her away.

Star, you can manipulate life energy, right?

If you're asking me to cloak you, I can't help anytime soon, give me a few more minutes.

I don't have a few more minutes.

''Too bad, Summer. Just don't get yourself killed when they see you''.

Summer reluctantly began tailing the other giants.

She found them some thousand miles from the sun at this point.

Worried about what they'll do to it, she exerted herself t move faster. The closer she got to the sun, the more energy she gained, and the faster she got.

The giants soon realized that she was coming, slowing and turning to her.

She continued moving forward to the creatures. "Let's make this simple. You tell me what you're going to do to the Sun and why, or I'll stand in your way," she yelled.

The giants looked to each other, then to Summer. They began talking in the foreign language again. It seemed these Vlasephs didn't speak English, though they certainly weren't trying to control the blasting volume of their voices unlike the other.

Summer resorted to muting her ears, thinking what she should do... Then she thought of an idea.

Star... ever tried to read the mind of a giant?

''If I can read YOUR mind, reading theirs won't be a problem. But since I don't know their language, I'll only be able to read it in pictures''.

''I'm close enough... give it a shot.''

Star obeyed, attempting to see if she can project herself into one of the Vlasephs.

The density of their skin and the vast amount of energy flowing through the Vlasephs made it quite dense. Small flickered of random sounds were coming through.

It's gonna take me a while to get through, Star said,'' they have excess energy. Good luck out there until then.''

Wait, what do I do?! Summer exclaimed, looking lost as she had no idea what to do while the Vlasephs were talking. Eventually she decided to dash towards the sun in order to put her between it and the giants.

The Vlasephs did not appear concerned with this for a moment, but as she got closer to the sun, they started following.

She turned around, facing the Vlasephs. I can't speak their language, but actions speak louder than words, she though as she made a fire wall right behind her. The wall was a square with sides 5 miles long. She only made the wall as to halt, or at least get the attention of the Vlasephs. Tick tock, Star...

The Vlasephs extended their arms behind themselves, flexing their fingers as they passed through the fire wall, almost as if their bodies were licking up the flames.

Okay... mediocre fire is a no... Summer thought with disappointment. She flew even closer to the Sun this time, giving out a warning. "I may not speak your language but I know you can speak mine. Stop, right now, or I will force you to stop!"

Two of them looked over at her, but they didn't appear interested in stopping. The tallest of the five stopped eventually, extending his arm toward the sun.

Summer dashed over quickly, in an attempt to prevent the giants from reaching the sun.

The Vlasephs still moving weren't paying her much mind as they continued growing closer. The larger of them seemed to be reaching to something.

"I warned you," she said, moving to the closest one to the sun and attempting to push them away.

(How much force is she putting off toward the Vlaseph at the moment?)

(She's the type to start off holding back starts off holding back, so right now it's just enough force to lift an island.)

(Islands are kind of... different in their weight.  I'm not really sure how much that's supposed to be.  Continents are technically islands, but so are the bikini islands and such but the weight there is very different in amount.)

(Hawaii-like then)

(Would've liked some actual numbers for that but I can't really find any information on that myself.  I'll go with what I've found here.  A continent weighs around 160,000 tons, so let's assume we're going by weight of... North America.  Compared to an Island like Madagascar which is rougly 17 times smaller than America, that would be rougly 9400 tons of weight, or rougly 21,000,000 pounds.  So at the INCREASED power she's at right now due to the sun, would you say she's pushing at the strength of 21,000,000 pounds?

(I guess you can go with that calculation. Yes, she does have increased power, but she is holding back. She has killed before, but she doesn't like killing, and tries not to if she doesn't have to. Right now, she's testing how much force is necessary to deal with the Vlasephs. For obvious reasons, I don't know that limit, and I'm trying to stay in character.)

(That's fine.  I just wanted to make sure I understood what they're up against.  Also what part is she pushing against on the Vlaseph?)

The Vlaseph slowed, looking down at her. He was still going toward the sun for a while until she had stopped him entirely. He lowered his hand to flick her away. (chest, center of it)

Summer saw this coming, and momentarily stopped pushing to attempt to block the flick.

Seeing that she was no longer pushing against him, the Vlaseph stopped lowering his finger and began moving forward again. He didn't seem to understand that she was trying to stop him, but the others did as one was swatting at her from the side.

Okay... they need more encouragement, she thought as she vibrated to phase through the hand swipe, then she stopped phasing in order to grab the finger of the swatting Vlaseph and swing them over to another one. She did this with the same force necessary to move a small moon.

The Vlaseph yanked back at the pulling, the other hand reaching over to crush her as the two pulled against each other.

She saw the hand coming, and to buy herself more time, she pulls the Vlaseph with the force to pull Jupiter, hoping to surprise the Vlaseph with the sudden increase in strength.

The Vlaseph was swung around, though the force only caused the clapping of his other hand toward her to speed up by the movement.

Summer brought up her other arm, intending on blocking the strike.

The force of the hand slammed against her at a speeding force of 10,000 tons. Despite the weight itself, there was something else to the feeling of the Vlaseph's hand, like a burning sensation, almost like a tranquilizer. It was faint but strong enough to be felt.

Expecting a larger attack, Summer wasn't moved by the force. She simply resorted in her mind that it was only a mere hand swing, nowhere near their true power. However, the tranquilizer feeling reminded her of the anti-solar serum she was once hit with. She instantly backed off, getting a little closer to the Sun so that her immune system can fight whatever was in her body.

While she was backed up, she decided to try a ranged strike again, using heat vision at heats of 100,000 degrees Fahrenheit. She aimed at the knees of the Vlasephs, seeing how much damage a heat like this would do.

Had they been on the surface of the planet, the strength and durability of the Vlaseph may have been weak enough to not sustain and disperse this power, but just as she was gaining strength from the sun, these giants seemed to be as well. The leg was heating up, but absorbing the energy at the same time. The Vlaseph seemed bothered enough as his hands came at her again in a fast swipe (Just a reminder just in case: they don't move all slow like normal giants.  They can move their bodies just as quickly at their size as a regularly-sized person.)

Summer phased through it. Okay, time to take them on a much more serious level. Summer began using her heat vision again, this time around the temperature of the Sun's core (27,000,000). At this level, she actually starts to feel a little strain from the energy put into it.

The Vlaseph was forced back, scales of its leg seeming to crack, parts shifting off. With a rippling growling, it remained still in space, a deep sound that could be like an exhale matching the shimmering glow along its body. With a humming that turned into a roar, a streaming blast of some yellow energy went flying from the giants single visor eye at Summer, a spread of twenty yards wide, seven tall.

Unknowing of what it was, Summer was not taking any chances, and instantly darted to the right, looking back to see if the energy would follow her or not.

The Vlaseph chased after her with the energy, though the limitations of his neck's range gave him the idea to start firing with both hands now. At the same time, his leg was popping with various energy. The use of energy, the feeding from the sun, and the regenerating, was causing the injured leg to not properly repair. While they had been battling, however, the others were nearing the sun... all except the tallest Vlaseph, who was still behind, standing in the middle of space... reaching.

Summer took the time to understand her situation. ''I know that energy around his leg. He's healing from the solar energy, like me. Could he also be gaining his power from the Sun? Then there's the others.. I'll need to stall this one, blitz the others, and... the big was is still behind... taunting me? Focus Summer, deal with the giant first!... Star, have you got in his thoughts yet?''

Give me about ten more seconds, I'll be in, she replied.

Good, Summer thought as she began absorbing heat in the surrounding area, having a radius of half a mile being near absolute zero. She was hoping to kill two birds with one stone, by slowing or stopping the energy, and by temporarily incapacitating the giant.

The Vlaseph didn't appear to notice or care what she was doing as he continued firing at her in the spread.

Hmm, plan C then, thought Summer. She craned her neck and rotated her body mid flight in order to continue firing at the Vlaseph. She planned on rounding all of them up in one place.

The Vlaseph was forced to manuver around due to his size as they fired at each other.

She continued getting closer to the other giants as she began communicating with Star.

Did you find him yet? Summer asked.

I just did, Star replied, I'm trying to see if I can get into his thoughts and find out his motives...

The Vlaseph had still been firing at Summer, chasing her now.

(Which Vlaseph is she trying to communicate with?)

(the tall one. They are assuming that is the leader, so he will have the most information)

(M'kay) The energy within this Vlaseph was even more extreme than the others, but as she pressed, some kind of chuckle was eventually sounded. "Hello," Came a deep tone.

"Who are you exactly?" Star interrogated. While this was happening, Summer steadily increased her speed.

The Vlaseph chasing Star reached to grab at her, still firing out with his hand toward her.

"Fora' Kal," answered the voice.

"Is it okay if I call you Kal for now?" Star continued, still testing to see if she can get into his mind or not before going all out.

Back to Summer, She began forming a heat shield around her, twice the heat of the Sun's core. She figured that if the Sun core heat can damage the Vlaseph, the Vlaseph wouldn't touch her, at least for the moment. She looked back to see how far she was from the other Vlasephs.

"I do not care," the voice responded.

Just as she had been speeding up as she neared the sun, so were the other Vlasephs. The shield of heat did force the Vlaseph to retract his hand, but the strange yellow energy seemed to be burning away at the solar energy itself, like an acid, dissolving at it.

Summer, being able to sense solar energy took notice of this. ''Is this.. anti-solar energy again?'' she wondered. She looked back at the other Vlasephs and remembered her theory of them getting stronger as they approached the sun.

Okay, she thought, I'll need to stall them, now or never. She darted towards the sun at insane speeds, and if she gets there before the Vlasephs do, she would use the massive solar energy buff to shoot lasers of supernova level heat in order to ward them off.

Meanwhile with Star, she had finally decided to press on. "So, Kal, why is it important that you get to the Sun? Is there a reason you need to be there?"

While the Vlasephs were large and strong, incredibly fast for their size, their speed was not their main attribute without using the energy to propel themselves. She passed them by, and as the the super nova neared the Vlasephs, each paused, covering their fronts as the blast swarmed over them.

"Does your friend live off of the sun?" He asked.

Summer kept this up since it halted them. Hurry up Star, are they good or bad?' I need to know.

Star ignored her for the moment. "She doesn't need it to live, but she does get her power from it, yes. Is that the same for your kind?"

"She is hurting them," He non-answered, though his tone didn't appear concerned. "She is also making them stronger.  I do not know how strong she is, but..."

"Really... so you're powered by solar energy too? Is that why you want to go to that star?" While she said this, Star told Summer about how her fire is causing the Vlasephs to get stronger.

Summer canceled her fire for the moment, and decided to take them on in a more direct approach as she charged at the nearest enemy.

As she got closer, the energy surrounding the Vlaseph immediately began to burn at her stamina, her core. The Vlaseph didn't seem to be forcing this outward. While he most-likely had no issue attacking her, it didn't appear intentional.

Summer stopped when she began feeling a loss of stamina from the Vlasephs. She was confused on where the loss of energy came from, so she decided to attempt to ram her body into one of the giants before flying back to the Sun to regain as much energy as fast as possible.

The Vlasephs could tell she was becoming weakened, but due to the overpowering in their bodies, their attempt to chase after sent them randomly teleporting about. The injured Vlaseph went after her, now close to a recovery, but slowed none the less. The largest Vlaseph... well...

A strand of the sun could be seen literally being pulled out at this point. Some kind of sand was appearing around Summer.

Summer had no idea what was happening, and she used her protective aura in an attempt to block whatever negative ailment was coming. She sacrificed some of her energy in shooting another powerful laser at the Vlaseph, this time aiming to cut off any limb.

When she notices the sun, and if nothing major happened during her past two choices, she would start over to the Sun to find out what's causing it.

Star now attempted an  answer. "Kal... what are you and the other giants planning to do to the sun, and why?"

(I'm assuming she shot at the injured Vlaseph?  If not then I'll fix it.) The Vlaseph crossed his arms to shield himself from the blast.

"Did you see what happened when we took a step on your world?" The giant Vlaseph asked.

Summer began turning up the heat at an exponential rate. as she neared the sun, preparing to do the same thing to the other Vlasephs should they get closer.

"No actually," Star replied. "We've seen the other one land here from a ship, but that is all."

The Vlaseph began to fire back against the fire blast, still shielding his arms. The other Vlasephs were still bursting with the previous crosswire of energy, remaining as still as they could.

"One step destroys a city.  A jump could easily crack through your crust.  It does not support."

Summer continued stalling, taking turns with each Vlaseph as she fired at them while attempting to dodge attacks as well.

Star, meanwhile, thought of what she heard. "So... you need a star to support you?"

The three still Vlasephs appeared unaffected by the blast, while the shielding Vlaseph rocketed at her between shots, ramming his hill-size fist at her.

"We are already sustained.  We want a star, a planet.  Your world is not large enough.  Your sun, however, is usable."

Summer stopped shooting, deciding to return the favor by throwing her own fist in with the punch, with enough force to shatter a planet.

Star attempted to stretch to the very bottom of the Vlaseph's thoughts. "But, by living on the Sun, won't that mean the end of life on this planet?"

Her fist left a few inches worth of a dent into the Vlaseph's fist, though only slightly wider than her fist itself as its own fist was slamming back at her, not seeming phased enough to slow upon contact.

"Probably."

Summer ended up taking the strike of this hit, but did not attempt to resist in order to be punched back nto the star.

"So you can't find another star without the possibility of killing the lives of others?" Star questioned.

The Vlaseph seemed to continually push her, following her toward the sun.

"We are going to find many stars to-... he paused.  In his mind, she could see a flash of a faceless figure she had recently met.  "A new condition then... in exchange for us leaving your world and sun unharmed," He chuckled.  "we may even lend you more power for it."

Summer knew that the competition would only get harder as they got closer to the sun. They pretty much barely get dented by planet striking power, this shouldn't be overboard, she thought as she attempted to dash and punch the Vlaseph in the chest. If she hits, it would be with the force of a white dwarf, and with the intention of making the Vlaseph sail back.

Star was intrigued. "What's the condition?" She asked.

Her attack was met by a charging knee, sending both blasting away from each other in a burst of energy and kinetic blast.

"We want four more of them..." An image of Stiper appeared in his head before the connection was cut off. He had vanished. The three other Vlasephs had vanished. The recovered Vlaseph remained for the moment, looking about with a large bellowing "Uh..."

(Gonna start on the Summer and Simble picture now X{D)

(^ Dun do dis!)

The sudden knee attack momentarily stunned Summer as she began stopping herself from sailing too far away. With that Vlaseph backed up, however, Summer could focus on the other Vlas--

"What?" She said, looking around for the other Vlasephs.

I did NOT see that coming, Star suddenly said to Summer.

What happened? Summer replied, still looking around.

''Okay, he worked out a deal. Spare the star and the planet, but he wanted four more beings like Stiper.''

...Didn't Stiper say that they absorbed people like her?

I'm pretty sure, but the giant eventually overpowered my telepathy and disappeared.

With no other clues, Summer looked at the remaining Vlaseph.

The Vlaseph shrugged back at her before stopping. With a nod, he too vanished.

"Um... okay?" Summer started back towards Stiper was, suddenly realizing that she may or may not be safe.

Star, where did those giants go?

''I dunno, he just ditched me and left! Is Stiper okay?''

Checking on her now.

Summer landed at the cave right after she thought that to Star. "Hello?" she called out.

"Hi?" Stiper's voice called out, the hooded girl slowly stepping out.

Summer sighed in relief. "I thought you were hurt un some way..." she paused for a moment. "Star... is there anyone else still alive like you?"

"... What?"

"The giants... they say they want more people like you, Stiper."

"... Th- they want to... No," She shook her he- well actually at this point she was practically vibrating her head.

"I won't let them do that to you," Summer said, placing a hand on Stiper's shoulder. "And if I don't know where the others are, I can't help them either."

"Wh-... the others?  You want to find them?"

"I want to make sure they're safe, I'll keep those giants away from them," she said thinking of a great idea in her head now that she knows what she is up against.

"They found this place by following me," Stiper replied. "The-..."

The two instantly vanished, reappearing in a Victorian-looking city with many twisting buildings about in varying designs, glass and stone floors with a vast aray of different people walking about. While the general public wore hooded outfits with snake-like glowing eyes, some looked like humans, some like mobians, and some like random objects, like a walking anvil.

Summer very slowly stood up, examining her environment more in complete awe.

Stiper began running off into the city without explanation, already dashing at around 40 MPH.

Summer hovered just behind her. "What's happening? Where are we going?" she asked.

Stiper continued to speed up. They eventually arrived at a large post, where Stiper stuck her hand into it. After a half-minute, she collapsed to the ground, pulsing white for a bit. "Okay... okay..." She calmed slowly.

Summer kneeled beside Stiper. "Are you sure you're okay?" she asked.

"I just... they took some of the others... I thought maybe they'd come here... They must not be here yet."

Summer extended a hand to pick her up. "That's good. We have time to warn people, right?"

"I..." She took her hand. "I told them... M-maybe we should go back to your world now before they come back."

"..Are you sure they won't come here?" she questioned, worried that she would leave these people to be doomed, possibly.

"If they try, there should be barriers to keep them out... I don't know."

"Hrmm.." Summer's plan was to use solar energy draining chemicals that is normally used against her. She would have to go home to get it either way.

"Let's try to get back here as fast as possible, okay?" she said.

"... Here or there?"

"Actually, on second thought, you could stay in either place if you wanted to, but I'll come back here soon to make sure it's safe."

"Do you want me to come with you?"

"In all honesty, it's up to you, though I want you to stay safe until we can sort this out."

"... I think I'll come with you... I want to know if Star's okay."

"Alright then... let's get back to her," Summer extended her hand, then hesitated. "Do you know how to get back to her on your own, or..."

Stiper nodded. With a flash of green, they returned to Summer's world.

Star had just finished perfectng her garden with her nature abilities when they teleported in. She stood up towards them. "I'm glad you're both safe," she said, looking at Stiper for any wounds to heal.

Stiper appeared unchanged and unharmed. "You're... gardening?"

"Yeah, I've pretty much got bored while helping you guys out there," she replied.

Summer smiled, then looked over to Stiper. "She's does this a lot, and I mean a LOT a lot. This whole continent alone was a wasteland before Star decided to live here."

Heroes of the sun (Classicspace101)
(ok, fixed, so just write anything? if not just say.)

The sun rises over the great swamp as a knight with armor that looks similar to an onion (caterina armor) and an echidna wearing hard leather armor are eating soup by a fire. "after this we shall begin our training." the onion knight says before the hear the crash. "what the hell was that Harold?" The onion knight said. "I have no clue sir." the echidna says before they get up and go to the crash site. "by the sun..." the onion knight says while looking at the destruction.

The figure at the base of the crater slowly looked over to the two, silently.

The onion knight walks down towards her and examines her. "who are you my little friend?" he asks. "she seems to be alive. bring her up sir." Harold says to the onion knight. "how? she seems to be melted into the ground." the onion knight asks his student.

The figure slowly looked down at her limbs, the bases beginning to crack off.

"oh no! quick get some estus Harold!" The onion knight yells as he picks up the crumbling figure and her limbs and pulls her out and towards the campfire.

She was rather light for most of her, though the burned limbs were significantly more heavy than the rest of her body, as if they had tensed into a cancer inside. They disconnected entirely, the severed sections between her body and the limbs collapsing like a charred sand.

the onion knight sets the figure down next to the fire and then place the limbs nearby. "what is she sir?" the echidna named Harold asks. "I don't know." the onion knight says before grabbing a bowl of soup and tries to spoon feed the figure. "here, this might help with any pain you have."

She could only turn her head toward the soup, but as she did not have any apparent face, the soup only rubbed and slipped over the grey muzzle where her mouth would be. With a few sparks remaining, she remained still afterward, a light pulse going through her repeatedly but without signs of breathing.

"hmm, what are you my little friend?" the onion knight says. "can you speak?"

A faint distorted sound came out just briefly, though if it was a word it wasn't clear enough. The sparking seemed to get more frequent and active.

"uh.." the onion knight seems to be worried. "what do I do?"

She wasn't answering. She wasn't moving still, but the sparks kept coming as the pulses sped up. The dead sand-like material from her body began to either float upward or ignite, vaporized.

"I know first lets try to find out where the sparks are coming from, then try to put your arms back on! or make new ones." the onion knight says before using a cloth to rub off the sand like material and puts some of it in a jar, then proceeds to use some sort of magic to try to put her arms back on. (I think we should try to advance in some way)

(It is advancing.) As the disconnected arms started to press to the rest of the body, the girl lit up white as a sudden shrieking scream let out from her, a white light blasting up to the air.

the onion knight and Harold back up covering their eyes while the knight hopes that this works.

The hands and legs imploded as the rest of the body floated upward until finally reforming, standing upright as the light and screaming faded. She fell to her knees, pulsing faintly before looking around slowly.

the onion knight had also fallen to his knees. "whew, that was a workout." he looks up at her. "are you ok?"

"... I... I'm alive..." She replied, slowly standing up.

"yes, yes you are, and you can talk." Harold the echidna says in slight annoyance.

"Y-yes..." She nodded. "... Wh-where is this?"

"great Farron swamp." the onion knight says. "now, about you now that you can speak, who are you?"

"Stiper," She answered. "We-... this is a different place then?  They aren't here?"

"They!? Who is they?" Harold asked Striper. "Are they like you? Did you get separated from your family?" The onion knight says.

She shook her head. "There were... there were more like me bu- but they...  the giants... k-..." She took a moment to compose herself. "We... me and others like me, we, went to a different zone, just to walk around, but people found us.  They thought w- we were interesting, so we started showing off our powers, but... we got the wrong attention.  These giants from space, they came down...they were bigger than mountains..."

"Calm down girl." The onion knight says in a voice that calms her down a bit. "So, you said something about you and others like you coming from a place called a zone, and that these giants may have killed the ones you were with? Right?" The onion says to her hoping to calm her down.

She nodded.

"I see, well can you tell us more?" The onion says. "actually, we should ask if they are coming for her!" Harold snaps. "gracious Harold, dont speak like that. its rather rude."

"I don't know," She answered quickly, shaking her head. "They... they ate one of the others.  They were able to like... grab at our energy.  It was hard to pull away.  I teleported here I guess... I don't know if they can do the same..."

"well, that sounds really bad. Let us just pray that they cannot get here." Onion knight mutters. "excuse me, miss Striper, can they be killed?" Harold asks.

She shrugged. "I don't know... we couldn't kill them..."

"hmm, then we could be in quite the pickle if they do come here. if they come here" Onion knight says

"... I need to... warn the others," Stiper stiffined. She flickered a few times before vanishing... then reappearing seconds later at the same spot, collapsing to the ground for a moment.

The onion knight moves over to help her back up. "what happend? are you ok?"

"I... I can't teleport back right," She inforemd. "I can't concentrate..."

"hmmm, maybe its because of the explosion and what its done to you that you cant concentrate, I belive that you need some rest." the onion knight and Harold stand up. "come, let us take you somewhere where you can heal." He extends his hand to guide her.

"U-... maybe," she took his hand.

"Alright miss Striper, I can tell we are going to be best friends." the knight says as he and Harold take her through the swamp, over some hills, through some woods, a cave and then coming to a large castle like structure with a human sized door and a mobian sized door. "welcome to the sunlight temple." Harold said.

She looked around at it. "Very... medieval," she noted.

"yes it is, its what this world has always been compared to other more modern worlds." Harold says as he opens the door revealing a grand hall with an army of humans, mobians and other, eating meats, pastries and more at the tables. "And this is the army of the sun" The onion knight says "it must be a celebration of some sorts"

"Is there a war?" She asked.

"not really, we are just an army who will fight anyone who is truly evil, those with a darkness that cannot be light up with the rays of jolly cooperation" The onion knight says "in other words, we fight any villians, or those who want to destroy the sun and stuff" Harold adds

"Why would they destroy the sun?  The planet needs that doesn't it?"

"I guess some people are just that nutty." Harold replies.

"Hm... Maybe... maybe if there was something I could channel my energy into, I could teleport right this time."

"hmmm, but what can we use? think, think, think" onion knight says. and then almost like magic everyone stops what they are doing and looks dead at the group of three. "Hey look! Seigmoars back!" someone called out. "whos the new girl?" another called out.

The girl turned to the group. "Uh..." she stepped back a bit.

"looks like we have attracted attention, lets hurry up before we get asked questions." Seigmoar says.

"Where do we go?" She asked.

"we shall go through this crowd and towards the staircase, then find Issac the lost. Our leader should be able to figure something out." Seigmoar says. "just try not to panic, if these guys see you panic a few of them could also panic." Harold adds on as they start walking through the crowd.

Her shoulders rose at this but she slowly followed after stiffly.

As they walks almost every human and mobian is asking each other questions about this new girl. "Dont worry, all questions will be awnsered soon enough." Seigmoar shouts and most of the chatter stops.

The girl kept close to the knights, head turning back and forth as they went.

all the other knights in the room, most of them wearing metal with a basic design instead of the odd onion shaped or hard leather stare down at her as if waiting for her to do something that allows them to find an excuse to interrogate her. But that feeling of uneasiness is lifted when they reach a door. "Finally, i didnt think we were gonna make it without an uproar of some sorts." seigmoar says before opening to door showing a medieval style elevator. "why cant we just take the stairs?" Harold asks, "because, thats too slow." seigmoar replies. "excuse me miss Striper, are you afraid of heights?'

"Not really," She shook her head.

"Excellent! Then up we go!" Siegmoar says as he pulls a lever and the elevator shoots upwards. "I hate this thing!!!" Harold shouts.

Stiper flattened slightly as they shot upward, grabbi ng hold of the walls.

They all reach the top where they see a mobian female wearing what looks like priestess clothes talking to a human knight as they both look out a window. "Excuse me, are we intruding?" Siegmoar asks. That's when they both turn. "Ah, hello Seigmoar, we were discussing the explosion a while ago, also who is the guest?" The knight says. When he turns a large Sun is seen on his tunic that's over a metal and chain mail set of armor.

"I'm... Stiper," she waved meekly.

The knight and the mobian walk over. "Hello madam Striper, I am Issac. Leader of the Heroes of the sun." He kneels down and offers to shake her hand.

She shook his hand. "I... um, I came here because of something in a different world."

"Well, are you a phantom? Nah, could you be a pilgrim? Or maybe..." Issac was about to go off on some sort of theory but Siegmoar stopped him. "She came from the blast." He said. "The blast? How could she have survived that?" The priestess said sounding concerned.

"I meant to teleport," Stiper explained, "but I was in a fight.  I couldn't focus on where to go so I appeared in the sky."

"A fight? With who though?" Issac asks.

"Metal giants... or maybe metal," She informed. "They were bigger than mountains.  They found me and others like me, then ate... one of them... they tried to get me too but I teleported away to here."

"Hmm, interesting, well I say we should continue these questions later, your tried aren't you? Here, why don't we get you cleaned, dressed and fed then we can continue these questions" Issac insisted. "I agree, you had brought in a trail of dust on the way in and up." The priestess says. "Brilliant idea, how does that sound Miss striper?" Siegmoar asks.

"Well... I... that's very nice," she replied with a nod, "um, I, but I need to warn the others before, it happens again."

"Ah yes, I shall send a team of some of my best knights to do so." Issac says. "Could you tell me the name of your world so we may do so?"

"I... I don't know if I'm allowed to say, but... if I can focus well enough maybe I could take you there?"

"Alright, and since I can't grab anyone now, me, siegmoar and Harold will go and warn your friends" Issac said calmly.

"Okay... okay...um... ," she held out her hand, a long pole growing out. "Hold on to that."

Issac, Siegmoar, and Harold grab onto it. "oh boy. this is gonna be something." Harold says sounding displeased

Stiper began flowing out a green energy that slowly connected to each of them. "Okay..." She concentrated, preparing to teleport.

They all hold on tight and prepare for the worst. "good luck guys." the priestess says.

With a burst of energy surrounding them, the small group found themselves reappearing in the middle of a stone road with a fairly modern-looking city around them, though the structure of most buildings was quite... contrasting. Twists, size variation, and vasts arays of colors were all about.

"We'll be discovered in a second," Stiper explained. "J-just make sure they don't get mad before we can explain."

"Wow! Teleportation without a summon sign, or a sunstone." Issac said amazed, while Harold threw up and siegmoar sat down looking dazed. "So they are going to be here any moment now?"

"The people like me," Stiper nodded. A glowing hollow circle formed around the ground around them. Soon a hooded figure approached: a male with silver glowing slit eyes and no nose or mouth. His cloak-like outfit had a single blue stripe to contrast with the dark grey.

"These people do not have clearance for here," The figure addressed to Stiper.

"There was an attack on another zone," Stiper explained. "I escaped to their world but the attackers might be going there soon."

The figure turned to the others. "Can you confirm this?"

"She told us everything, she quite littirally came from the sky and told us how she escaped when it all happened!" Siegmoar says.

"And it's important that you're here with her because...?"

"well we are her guards at the moment, she had told us about a race of giants that ate he companions." Issac states. "we saved her anyways" siegmoar adds.

"... I see.  What is the name of your zone?"

The Knights look at eachother for a minute or so. "Uh, the dark soul zone I guess" Issac says hoping that it works.

"I can-" Before Stiper could finish, one of the others extended an arm into her shoulder, a small flow of energy beginning to move out.

"Hey what are you doing to her!?" Siegward says as he walks over as if ready to stop then in case they are doing any harm to her.

They soon retracted before stepping back, turning as they formed a circular bit of energy behind them.

"They were just getting the area from me," Stiper answered. "They could have asked though..."

"oh, I thought they here attacking you" sigmoar said relieved.

"Hm," One of the Identities stepped through the newly-formed portal.

"If thats to our world, they are in for a suprise." Issac states. The dark universe looks like a horrible place, the cities are crubling, monsters roam killing anything that isnt one of them, the undead roam the surface and it just looks like hell. (like normal darksouls, but if the portal wasnt to there then sorry)

(It would take the Identity to where they were last, inside the castle.) (Oh ok) inside the castle is the crowd of Knights, but as soon and the identity stepped through the Knights quickly drop their forks knifes and food to grab their swords, shields and crossbows and great bows and they prepare to defend themselves if need be "I would be careful around them! You show any sign of hostility and they might beat you bloody." Siegmoar yelled to the identity.

"As tempting as it would be to test that," The Identity noted, "could you please explain our reasonf or being here?"

"We are here with miss Striper here, we are going to be protecting her from the giants." Issac states. "yes, also could you take us to you leader, we wish to tell him or her about this." Siegmoar said.

(The Identity leader?)

(Yeah isn't there one?)

(There is, yes.)

"The Pharaoh is being notified of the situation," the leading Identity of the group at the moment informed. "They will become involved if needed."

"We should move outside to see if these giants have arrived," Another stated.

"Have the giants arrived at our lands Issac?" Harold asked. "I don't know, we cannot be certain." Issac replied

"We'll see in a moment," The Identities started to walk out.

The Knights watch it carefully as it moves. "Wait don't forget us!" Issac says as he goes to follow.

One of the Identities paused for them before they all reached the outdoors. Far in the distance was something lying in space. It was a massive triangle, metallic and larger than a city.

"Whats that?" Issac asks. And almost every knight gets up and runs outside to see the triangle. "I could guess its the giants ship." Siegmoar said.

One of the Identities floated upward before rushing toward the structure.

"You may want to evacuate," The group-leading Identity informed. "I have an idea of what is in that."

"What is it?" Siegmoar asks. "wait a sec, we can leave our home!" Issac snaps, the other knights that left the castle to see the triangle look both amazed and concerned, but strangely there is almost no fear in them.

A massive glowing yellow door began to open up from the triangular ship.

"Wow, what the hell is that thing?" Issac says amazed

The Identity nearing the door immediately rushed straight up to avoid the collision as a massive figure blasted out from the door, crashing immediately in a crouching stance on the ground a half-mile from the group. Due to the giant's size of 15,000 ft, it tore the ground upward in an almost wave of matter before settling. The sound of its muscles humming as it stood up to its full height was clear, and a single visor-like eye stared about before soon locating the group.

"HOLY CRAP!" Issac shouted looking surprised, just then every single knight rushes out and prepares for battle, a catapult and balista were even pulled out. "W-what is that!?" Siegmoar said.

"This is the predator," The leading Identity informed. "The Ror Vlaseph..."

A growling "hm..." came from the giant metal-shelled like being befor ea blasting voice spoke out. Despite being barely understandable at the volume flattening the trees, it seemed to be a foreign language.

"Im sorry, but they who?" Harold asks confused. "Ror Vlaseph, some sort of predator to these people." Siegmoar states. "we have to find a way to communicate. can anyone understand it?" Issac yells to the identities and the army. They knights just reply: no.

None of the Identities answered at first. One called up to the Vlaseph. "What are you saying?!"

The giant paused, crouching slightly. "... That language..."

The knights back up a little. "crap"

"... Do you all have energy like that?" The giant boomed down.

"energy?" Issac asks? "what energy are you referring too?"

The giant pointed down at them. He was gesturing toward the general group of Identities.

"no, they are just visitors from another world." Siegmoar said as he walked towards the giant rather slowly.

The Vlaseph turned to the sky. "... Your sun is... healthy..."

"ah yes, our sun, its our beacon of hope in this miserable world, it shines through the darkness of evil, it guides our soldiers into a new age, an age of sunlight! PRAISE THE SUN!" Issac says enthusiastically. "oh bother, there he goes again." Siegmoar says.

"... They are very fragile, suns..." The Vlaseph noted before beginning to float upward. "I am going to... explore..."

"ok." Issac says. "well, while he is exploring what do we do?" Siegmoar says.

The giant floated upward before blasting out of view, the shockwave slamming the group back. Once able to comprehend the situation, one of the Identities spoke up. "It's only one... He doesn't seem to recognize our kind... he... or she, whatever.  It may just be a Vlaseph from this zone instead of one Stiper found."

"wait, so Striper isnt in any danger?" Harold says briefly. "I hope so, and not just for her sake, the sheer force of that thing could knock down the castle." Siegmoar adds.

"He doesn't seem cautious enough to care about damage," The lead Identity noted. "If he is not one of the Vlasephs from the original attack, however, we need to find out why he is here and if possible, convince him to help us if the previous Vlasephs arrive.  If one of them really did eat an Identity, they'll be stronger than this one."

"Wait, so you Identitys contain some sort of energy?" Siegmoar asks.

"We do," They nodded.

"Oh, well if you can could you explain what the whole story is with these things and your race?" Issac shouts.

"They find us, they take us over, they get stronger, rinse and repeat," The Identity bluntly informed. "If we can, we will destroy this Vlaseph and any others."

"After he's helped us,"  Another spoke up.

"How can the thing that pretty much EATS you guys help you?" Harold asks.

"It hasn't seen our kind before," The Identity answered. "He probably doesn't know he can eat us."

"Oh ok, good to know." Soegmoar said, "hey Striper, would you like to go inside? You might Be safer in the castle." Harold asked.

"I... um... okay," Stiper nodded, walking inward.

"What kind of defenses does your planet have?" The leading Identity inquired.

"swords, shields, crossbows, greatbows, a balista manned by minor giants, and the sun." Issac replied.

"They eat suns," The Identity informed bluntly. "How do you use the sun?"

"the sun gives us our strength, without it we would just be normal undead." Issac states. "if he tries to eat our sun, he shall die."

"How do you plan to kill him?"

"We would hit him with everything we got" Issac stated.

"Your swords and minor giants?"

"yes, why?" Issac asked.

"You will need more."

A glinting light could be seen in the distance, nearing them. It seemed the Ror Vlaseph had finished exploring, and was now returning.

"that was fast." Siegmoar says "I wonder what he thought of this place?" Issac asked himself.

The Vlaseph landed suddenly, causing another shockwave.

The castle shook a bit and the knights prepare for the worst.

"Your planet is small but your sun is still usable," The Vlaseph informed.

"What do you mean?" Issac asks.

"Your sun is good for feeding."

"Now hold on just one moment! You can NOT eat our sun because its the only thing we got in this dying world!" Issac shouts, then every knight prepares for combat.

"Perhaps we could share, or find a different power source."

"We aren't discussing this," One of the Identities tensed. "Unless you plan to aid anyone here, you need to leave, Vlaseph."

"... I really don't see any of you as a threat," He replied darkly before turning about. There were flickerings of energy in the far distance.

"now wait minute Vlaseph! you are not going to harm our world! we suggest you go home if your true intentions a ill towards others." Siegmoar said.

"I have no bad intentions toward anyone," The Vlaseph replied, still staring off into the distance. "I still want to survive, however."

"Multiple energy signals are coming up," The leading Identity informed. "something else is coming."

"whats coming?" Issac asked. "more giants?" Siegmoar said.

As if timed, five others did appear, some miles back.

"what do we do sir?" Harold asked. "we wait till they show hostility, if they are going to eat our sun, then we got two options: they eat the fake sun and leave, or they find the real sun and we fight with everything we got." Issac said.

"We need to move them off the planet," The Identities stated as immediately one of the Vlasephs rushed forward, toward them, in front of them. His chest was bursting with energy, like a heart, a living heart.

"That's..." Stiper began. "He's the..."

"he is who!?" Siegmoar yelled. "FIRE ALL WEAPONS!" Issac shouts as the knights launch arrows, fire balls, lightning bolts, sorcery, balista bolts and large bolders at the Vlasephs.

The only Vlaseph currently in range slammed his fist down at the group. The Identities around immediately teleported the people some yards away from the crack of the giant fist digging yards into the ground.

the knights fly backwards in several different directions while Siegmoar shielded Striper and Harold with himself taking a little bit of damage. "are you two ok?" Siegmoar asks "im fine sir." Harold says. "holy crap, this thing is strong." Issac states.

"Distractions," The leading Identity pointed. Two from their team rushed off, circling the Vlaseph and directing him toward the others as the remaining ones began to charge up some kind of energy field.

the knights use their weapons again and the attacking giant again. "fall back men" Issac shouts and some of the knights back up while still firing their bows and arrows.

A laughing came from the giant as his arms extended out, glowing brightly. He was about to fire.

"SCATTER!" Issac shouts, and all the knights scatter and Siegmoar grabs Striper and heads for the hills. (or runs away whichever you prefer)

(Well using one's head to run away would be quite inconvenient *wink* X{D)

Stiper did little to resist in the current circumstances. The charge Vlaseph was about to fire before another slammed down atop him, causing the energy to blast downward, miles into the planet. The original Vlaseph quickly shoved the charged Vlaseph aside for the moment while looking about. He was able to do very little before the energy field from the Identities launched, teleporting him,and the others, out of sight

The knights get their feet and start to gather their bearings. "ok... WHAT THE (insert swear word here) was that!?" Harold yelled. "Harold! language," Siegmoar said. "sorry sir." Harold replied. "anyways, is everyone ok?" Issac says and most of the knights seem fine. "what about you miss Striper?" Siegmoar asks her.

Stiper was silent, pale white, but still in one piece as she looked over the area.

Twelve of the Identities shot up into the atsmosphere as the leader walked over to Siegmoar's group. "Your sun is going to be in danger if we don't act well enough." She then paused. "Wait..." She turned aside, pressing to her head as if listening to something.

"what is it?" Issac asked. "is it more of them?"

The Identity didn't reply for a good ten seconds. Finally she turned to him. "Our group is not going to have the power to defeat all of the Vlasephs, even with the help of the one that seems to be on our side... if he IS on our side.  My superiors are informing me that they are willing to dispatch far more troops on a condition."

"Wait!" Siegmoar pushes his way through a crowd that appeared. "who said we have to kill them, maybe the one who just attacked yes but maybe we can find a way to make them leave us without eating our sun." he says "are you bonkers? You saw what they can do to us!" Issac states. "yes, but they are sentient beings." Siegmoar then added.

"That sounds like a valid point," The Identity nodded. "... Allow me to obliterate it..." She turned to Stiper for a brief moment, then suddenly Seigmoar and Isaas found themselves appearing in the remains of a planet on fire, a massive crack in the ground where the ocean was pouring into the core.

"what is this?" Issac asks.

"We obtained the coordinates for the planet Stiper and her friends visited, the one where those Vlasephs currently being fought to the death by on your planet by my people selflessly.  If you wish to spare the one that did not attack us, very well, but if you want to survive, the others must be destroyed."

"What if we found a way to not kill the other ones and only kill the hostile one." Issac said. "brilliant idea" Siegmoar said. "but what could we use... hmmmm, think, think, think"

"There appears to be only one non-hostile Vlaseph," the Identity reminded before returning them to their world. "You do not have time I would estimate, but they will be back at any moment.  If you want to talk to them before you die, be my guest."

"we wont die though, we will find a way." Issac says. "What about the embers?" Siegmoar implied.

"I will give you five minutes," The Identity informed. "Decide.  If you want to capture the Vlasephs without killing them, then we can provide more units to support, but only under a specific condition..."

"We wont kill or capture, the hostile one we might kill, but no others will die." Siegmoar said.

"Five minutes," She repeated before stepping away, looking out toward the sky.

"Everyone! bring as many embers as you can carry! we are going to find a way to solve our problem." Issac shouted. Harold goes to find Striper.

The faceless Identity would be found on the hillside, currently sitting and looking up, as if watching the battle out of sight.

Harold sits next to her. "whatcha looking at miss Striper? looking at the sky?" He asks as he also looks up.

"They're losing," She said. "Up there, in the fight."

"what do you mean?" Harold asks.

"The Vlasephs are fighting my kind and my kind are losing."

"Oh, I hope they can turn the tide" Harold says. "Hey, madam Striper, may I ask you a question?"

She nodded.

He hesitates then speaks. "So, um... why don't you have a face?" He asks.

She back straightened up. A brief tint of turqouise formed around her for a split moment. "Oh... That... it's... um... H-how much did you find out about my kind?"

He is a little red while trying to talk to her. "N-not much, I'm afraid." He says.

"We shapeshift," She explained. "We can change how we look to... whatever.  I just chose this because... I... guess Idon't want people to see what I feel like all the time."

He looks at her. "So this isn't your true form, well, c-could you s-show me your real self, I won't judge." He says.

"I do-... we don't really... have 'true forms'... I mean... when we're born, we usually just look like black-scaled people like..." Her attire faded out as the varying colors changed. Remaining was simply a black-scaled female figure with white snake-like eys, "this I suppose..."

"wow, thats really cool, I like it." Harold says with a smile.

Her eyes crowned for a moment, a faint blue tint suggesting somesort of smile.

He smiles "anyways, ya know after all thats happend I never really got to know you, do you mind if we chat for a bit?" ha asks.

"What about?" She titled her head while hugging in her knees.

"well, anything, like... whats life like at your home?" Harold asks.

"Um... I'm a student at the Isis Dominion.  I mostly keep to myself.  I'm in my fourth year right now."

"oh, well why is a student out here? Arent you supposed to be in an academy of school?" Harold asks.

"I was just, around that other zone.  I didn't have class at the time, so a few of us were just explo-... I, thought I told you that part?  D-didn't I?"

"you did... but its ok, anyways, so do you have a family? wait, of course you do. everyone does." Harold says.

"Um... n-no... actually," she shook her head. "Identities don't... we're not born like normal people are... I- I mean, Origin Identities don't.  Offspring IDs have parents, but Origin IDs, we just all kind of got created in a blast and appear."

he looks shocked. "oh, well, thats rather... sad. But nonetheless, so would you like to know anything about me?"

"You... you are a knight, right?  Praising the sun?"

"well, yes, but I never was that way, my mother was a nurse and my father, he was a blacksmith, but sadly money was a little hard to come by around that time, so I started traveling and met Siegmoar my teacher, its kinda funny because I met him on the side of the road with a broken sword, and since I knew a thing about fixing swords I helpped him out and now... I just follow him around." Harold says. "but yeah, I praise the sun like everyone else does here too."

"Most zones I've seen don't usually praise anything large in space like that... Is it because the sun keeps the planet alive?"

"well, here, this world is a dying place, the undead like Issac and most of the army do not fear death, but they fear that their minds will hollow away, one of my good friends went hollow before you came here actually. on the other hand, we got monsters always attacking and trying to kill our soldiers for their souls" He says, "its saddening, and so the sun provides us a beacon of light, the sun represents the light that will never fade and it gives us hope." Harold says looking at the sun.

"What made your world start dying?"

"the undead curse, what it does is that the undead are given immortality, but they still die, and when they die they come back at a bonfire, and when they do, their minds slowly decay. Another thing is the first flame, its fading, when it goes out, the world goes "dark" and so thats another thing, one reason that this army was made was so we could fight off the darkness." He says.

"... That's... really sad..." Her head shrunk down a bit.

"yes it is, but we get by, through jolly cooperation. We travel to other worlds to gain friendship, and that also helps boost our numbers and our moral." Harold then says.

"Why don't you leave to l ive on a different world?"

"Cause this is where the old leader once started, and went hollow, so we stay here to honor him. Besides, what world could we stay in? Mobius isn't an ideal place, and other worlds aren't good either, so this is our home." Harold says looking off at the sunset.

"Why aren't they... ideal?" She questioned.

"Well, after several recon missions, we saw their worlds problems and decided not to get too mixed up with the freedom fighters and stuff. It's a shame really, we could have really helped." Harold said.

"... Oh, the ones where... w-well not all worlds are like that."

"Yes we know, but they have their own problems. And also Issac is a bit stubborn when it comes to this topic." Harold said. "sorry"

"... Maybe aft-"

"Your five minutes are up," The commanding officer Identity informed as she walked up. "Before you say anything, I am going to repeat the situation.  We have five hostile Vlasephs currently fighting my troops in space, and one of the five is super-powered after eating one of my own.  I can have more of my kind come into the battle to deal with the Vlasephs, be it to capture, kill, or send away.  We will pull out if things turn badly, but if you are willing to make an arrangement, you will recieve more forces."

"Wait, what!?" Harold said exclaimed. "Hold on, haven't we already gotten them away, and the other guys finished assembling the peace offering?" He looks at the officer.

"What offering?"

"We shall give them embers, a energy that powers this planets people, almost as. Valuable as humanity." Harold says.

"They will use that against you."

"How? It does nothing but give undead more power. They aren't undead so they just have a pretty flame to look at." Harold said before sitting back down next to Striper.

"If they can't have any use for it, then they will turn on you.  If that is your plan, however, we will not stop you.  We won't be involved though and risk more troops if that is your plan."

"Talk to Issac about that, embers might be our peace choice, but if we have too I'm sure Issac will knock then flat on their ***. Now im talking to Stiper right now, and i would like her to finish her statement." he says before going back to stripper. "So what were you going to say miss Striper?" He asks "after what?"

"I... um... I don't re... me- Oh!  I- I was just thinking that later maybe we could help your world or something."

"How nice of you, we would gladly accept your help." Harold said.

"Where is Issac?" The Commander Identity asked sternly.

"Top floor of the castle, with the high priestess" Harold said.

The Identity vanished instantly to the location.

The officer sees the mobian prestess and Issac praying by a window that the sun is shining through. "may the sun shine on me and the heroes of the sun..." he says.

She walked over immediately. "I have four troops left in space right now, so I'm going to say this one more time and if a precise answer isn't given, we will be pulling out.  If you agree to a set of terms provided upon your agreement, I will be allowed to bring in a massive army to take care of the Vlasephs who plan to eat your sun, by means of capture, killing, or possibly transportation.  If you prefer to use whatever forces you have, then tell me now and we will leave."

"we considered your option, and decided to say yes, BUT we dont want any of them killed, just get them as far away as you an get them." Issac said,

The Identity nodded. "Very well.  You must understand that the arrangement would be that you must allow transportation and government connections between this world and the Isis Dominion.  This would allow specific members of your world to go to the Isis Dominion, and Identities to yours, mainly as ambassadors."

"What?" Issac says. "A connection between worlds to help us fix it, and also to provide assistance to their world if they need it" The preistess says. "oh ok, we accept." Issac says. (i dont completly understand it plz dont hate meh)

(No it's fine, I think you got it.)

The Identity nodded. A rumbling was heard just outside of the castle. "You wish for the... non-hostile Vlaseph to be left alone, correct?"

"Yes, keep them alive, we may look like warriors, but if peace is an option we will take it." Issac says.

The Identity nodded. "You will understand, however, that while we will spare the majority, the one who assimilated two of our people will be judged accordingly."

The ground continued to shake. Shimmering lights started up around the surface.

"yes, thank you." Issac said. "um, Issac, I belive they might have returned." the preistess said.

"That isn't them," She replied, a very faint smirk forming.

From what was now shown as some kind of portal, a wave of figures blasted out and into the sky, thousands of these shape-shfiting officers roaring up to meet the Vlaseph threat.

The entire army can see it, Harold a Striper who were talking see in. "whoa." Harold said.

"I... guess they agreed," Stiper noted. "Ma-maybe we should get back from this..."

"I think so too. I hope Issac made the right choice though. come on, lets go." He gets up and extends his hand to guide Striper.

She took his hand as they stepped out of sight. The battle couldn't be seen much, but definitely heard. Large thooms and cracks. The sun looked unharmed for the moment.

"I hope they are winning." harold says as he takes her to the top of the castle to get a better veiw.

It was a whole minute before the Identities stopped rushing through. The commanding Identity officer approached the two.

"so? whats going on?" Harold asked.

"We were having issues convincing your... friend Vlaseph to move away from the battle but he has finally agreed.  He should be landing soon."

"oh good." Harold said, what about the other non hostil ones?" Harold said.

"There were no other non-hostile ones," She explained, then sighed out "but they are being detained non-fatally as you requested.  They will be moved elsewhere."

"oh good, we wish that we could have found friendship instead though." harold said.

"Where one opportunity fails another is provided, hence our meeting."

"oh ok, so whats the news now?" Harold asks.

"Well-" The original Vlaseph landed as she began to explain. "That."

"Oh good, he seems ok, wait, is he upset?" harold asked.

"Damaged," The Vlaseph answered. "Alive though... not happy..."

"I'd imagine no one would be if their species were being... fought," The Identity noted.

"Are they done yet?" Stiper spoke up.

"They are subdued, yes," The Identity answered.

"So it's... s-safe right?" She asked again.

"Soon, yes."

"then whats next?" harold said. "after this conflict?"

"We will need to have the leader of your people meet with a political representative of the Isis Dominion," She informed. "A portal will be setup for travel between the zones."

(Goin' to bed now.  G'NIGHT!)

"ok, tell Issac and the high preistess, they are our leaders." Harold said. (night friend)

"That responsibility is left with you," She stated. "I am going to be busy directing this new... change."

"Ok, I will tell them." Harold said. "Come on, let's go see the leaders." He says to Striper.

Stiper stood up. "Alright.  Where are they?"

"right below us actually" Harold says as he takes her to the stairs. "Come along, we must hurry." Harold said.

She walked quickly. (You caught me just before I was headin' for bed. X{D.  G'night)

(Darn, night though) They both are walking down the stairs when Harold speaks up. "Hey Striper, mind if I ask you an embarrassing question?" He says

(No R in Stiper X{D) "Hm?" She looked over, quickly having returned to her regular appearance at this point.

(Sorry I get confused!) "what's your opinion on me? I-im not asking if you like me o-our anything, I just wanna know.." Harold says nervously, he rubs the back of his head.

"Uh... u-um..." Having no idea where to start with such a sudden question, Stiper continued with her series of ums before eventually noting "Y-you are... o-optimistic."

Harold is trying to hide a blush. "T-thanks, well I think you pretty nice."

"Thanks," She nodded. "... Um... where are the... people- the leader people?"

Harold snaps back into reality as soon as they reach the floor bellow them. "Ah yes, here we are." Harold says as they enter Issac is looking at them. The priestess is praying.

"... Should we wait?" Stiper whispered.

"Maybe, while we wait why don't we use this time to talk about eachother some more" Harold said.

She turned white for a split moment. "... What?"

"Well, I wanted to get to know you some more. If t-that's ok with you though." Harold said.

"Oh... s-s-s okay," she nodded. "A-after this?"

"When ever you want to talk about yourself is fine." Harold says shyishly. (How do you like the shy person approach?)

(I try to stay neutral on things.) "Right..." She nodded. "Should... we talk to her now?"

(Ok) "ok, I think we should." Harold says as he takes her towards the priestess who is silently praying.

Stiper approached silently, not sure as to if she should be the one to speak first.

"I know you two are behind me" the preliestess says getting up. "So what is it that thou needs?" He then says.

Stiper remained silent. As she wasn't a political member, it wasn't her place to explain.

"Uh, the identities asked if we would like to set up a deal with them." Harold said. "Sounds wonderful" the priestess said.

"Is that it?" Stiper asked.

"its the one where they wanted to establish a connection between worlds, for trade and stuff I guess." Harold said.

"Well... is she going to meet them now?"

"I could meet them now if we can." The priestess says calmly. (Hey could you put down a heading so I don't have to scroll down so much?)

(I suppose.  I'll put a sub-heading here.)

Post-Vlaseph Arrival (Classic's characters)
(Thx, I hope it can also appears on my nook device) The priestess stands up

"... So... outside?" Stiper asked, turning toward the exit.

"Yes, now let us go" Harold said as he walks out of the room. "I sense a connection between you and Harold miss Stiper." The priestess said.

"I-... okay..." She followed after.

As they exited, a lizard-cat-looking woman stood in wait, striped Identities at her side with shoulder-pads wearing a specific crest.





"It's ok to confess any feelings if you have them" the priestess says. "Oh hellow, are you guys here for the negotiations?" Harold asks the lizard cat identity.

"I am Pix of the Isis Dominion, High Ranking Officer to the Military ranks," She addressed. She produced a stone tablet with a orange-looking pen. "This provides the conditions given in response to the aid provided by our forces against the oppressing Ror Vlasephs who came to your planet.  They include agreement for a to-be-discussed location of a portal station between the Isis Dominion and this world, freedom to catalog and observe this universe, allowance to call for resorces and individuals to aid the Isis Dominion if needed, and the allowance to ask for aid and resources from the Isis Dominion to aid your people.  The Isis Dominion seal will be placed in records to show partnership between our government and yours, and up to three spokemen from your world will be allowed a seat at the Isis Dominion Council pertaining to any and possibly all multi-zone discussions, which will mostly consist of military situations."

"Oh, well I guess Issac, Siegmoar and I, will be part of the court. As for the portal, I am not sure." The priestess said.

"You will be needing to sign this beforehand," Pix continued holding out the agreement slide.

The high priestess takes it and looks it over to see if there are any catches, traps or anything else that will get them into some sort of trouble. "excuse me, but do you accept souls as currency?" Harold asked.

"... T-... Is... that something you often give as currency in this zone?" The lizard-cat looked genuinely puzzled by this, her more stoic persona cracking slightly.

"Why yes, souls are like the lifeblood. And they are so valuable that golden things are used for decoration instead of currency" Harold says a with a voice mixed with a bit of shame of that fact.

"... Golden things?"

"You know, gold coins, gold cups, gold bars. All that stuff." Harold said.

"We can discuss currency later then."

"Ok, anyways so what exactly comes with this agreement?" The high priestess says while reading.

"All that I stated.  I was quoting the statement written," Pix informed. "Anything additional would be agreed upon and added to it later."

The high preistess reads it oveer. (could you explain what it would say?)

(It's the same thing Pix said in the beginning basically.)

(oh ok) "Ok, I guess we can come to an agreement Madam Pix." The high priestess said. "ok, now we just need to find Issac..." Harold says.

"Is he the last party required to agree?" Pix asked.

"No, we would need Siegmoar but he is always snoozing near the base of the castle, while Issac is on some random wild adventure." The high priestess says.

"All needed parties should be here immediately."

"Ok, hold on." The priestess says as she kneels down and says a silent prayer and a circle of light appears in between them. "he should be here soon" Harold says as soon as Siegmoar walks in with a cup of a alcaholic brew. "morning guys... what did I miss?" he then says.

"Please show him the agreement statement," Pix sighed.

The high priestess hands Siegmoar the agreement statement. "I dont see whats wrong" He says. "exactly, we should be fine" Harold says and then withing the circle of light Issac appears and takes a downward swing hitting the floor. "Hey! I was in the middle of something!" Issac says annoyed before getting handed the agreement statement. "what? a inter dimensional trade or something?" he says.

"A joining, of, governments, for, neutral, benefit," The lizard-cat woman tensed.

"OH! ok then we shall accept, but I must know: would you be ready for the abyss when it comes? or when the first flame fades?" Issac asked.

"... What?"

"He means our version of the end of the world. once the fire fades or the Abyss invades there will be a large risk to both of our worlds." Siegmoar said.

"And what would cause the Isis Dominion to be destroyed?"

"Well, not really, only the inhabitants will be affected, they will go mad, kill eachother and so on." Siegmoar says

"Explain," She tensed again.

"Well, what happens is that when someone is exposed to the abyss for a extended duration, the abyss will slowly break their mind, they will forget who they were, who their friends were and then become either a humanity seeking darkwraith or a hollowed husk of what they once were, hungery for souls." Issac stated. "But if someone were to fall directly into the abyss, they would be eaten alive by the tiny dark creatures that devoured living flesh, and its monsters also hunt anyone who survived the first two. So in other words, it's like a version of hell." Siegmoar said. (It seemed to have deleted my edit)

(I'll fix)

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:14px;">"Then the abyss may be part of the contract, something we can nulify for you.  We will investigate to see if it can effect our species."

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:14px;">"ok, thank you for acknowledging this, we do not wish for your kind to fall to that realm." Issac says.

<p style="font-weight:normal;font-size:14px;">She nodded silently. "You will need to decide on what area you wish the portal to be constructed.

"Ok then, follow me" Issac says As he takes them down to a large room near the grand hall. "We used to use this room for training, but then we decided to use the old graveyard as one after a few accidents" the high priestess said.

"It would be better to choose a place outdoors but this can work I guess," Pix noted.

"Thank you, so now what? are you gonna do something and poof, the portals there?" Harold asks.

"Something like that," She nodded. The lizard-cat-form individual placed a hand to the ground, and a large flat piece of metal began spreading over in a rectangular shape.

Harold, Siegmoar and Issac stare in amazement.

Walls grew out from the platform and soon a massive metal doorway was formed. Sparks of blue and green began appearing in it until a wall of energy formed.

Issac walks over and reaches his hand through then puts his head through. "whats in here?" he asks "Issac, I dont think thats a good idea." Siegmoar said.

Immediately Pix clawed her hand into Issac's shoulder, tearing him away with a large toss. "Do NOT do that..." she hissed, slowly trying to calm. "It isn't focused on a zone yet."

"Ok ok, sorry." Issac said as he was dragged back. "sorry about him, he gets curious quickly" the high priestess says.

She didn't respond to either statement, but instead began modifying the field until a clear doorway to a long row of lampposts was seen.

"Interesting where is this exactly?" Issac asked.

"The Isis Dominion," Pix informed. "You can enter now."

"ok then" Issac says as he takes a step inside the world.

The sky was a deep dark night blue. Grass lined the sides of the stone-placed road with the lampposts going down it.

Issac walks around taking in the sights. "awesome! Where are we in the Isis dominion" Issac

"Entry point," Came a dull, bodilless voice from the air. "You may walk forward."

Issac walks forward and then Siegmoar walks through. "wow, what an interesting place" he says.

With each step, a note played as they passed the lampposts.



They eventually arrived at a very victorian Venecian city. Various styles of twists and bridges went over a colorful pale blue water far below as if on a cliff mountain, glass covering the ground where bridges rose over.

"shall we explore my friends?" Issac asked. "I think we should make a good first impression." the high priestess said as she walked through. "I cannot wait to meet some new people." Siegmoar said as they all went walking along the road. Harold stayed behind with Stiper, he extends his hand for her to take it. "shall we follow?" he asked her.

She nodded, walking through.

There were quite a few others like Stiper about, hooded figures with snake-like eyes, though very many who looked far different. Some appeared like any normal mobian, some human, some like... other things, like a balloon with a face.

As they explored they seemed to be amazed in many different ways. They wonder who is gonna really speak up first.

"This is the Ventorian District," Pix informed as she followed after them.

"wow, it looks so cool!" Issac says looking at every little thing. "Issac, dont get carried away, pretty soon you will be bugging to people." The high priestess told him.

"That's doubtful," Pix countered. "Is there something specific you'd want to see here?"

"ah, yes, we would like to meet the leader." Issac says.

"If our leader is available... I can take you to the capital area."

"hurray! I have always wanted to meet another races leader, we only met humans and mobian leaders." Issac says.

With a flash, they arrived at a large red and white building. Long wide stairs led up to massive designed pillars with large doors between them.

"Oh my sun! This place is HUGE!" Issac says. "Oh boy, isn't he funny when he is excited?" The high priestess said.

"It's... um..." Stiper tapped her finger a bit. "Uplifting?" She tried to title. "Something like that."

"You may go inside," Pix informed.

"Hey, are you worried Madam Stiper?" Harold asked. "Let's go!" Issac says as he jogs into the building.

"Wh- No, I wasn'-" she stopped, now chasing after as they entered.

The entrance was a long white and red hallway with a green ribbon carpet leading to a black tall throne. No one appeared standing at the throne at the moment.

"So where is the leader?" Issac asked. "I wonder what he or she is like?" Siegmoar says.

"Usually, busy."

The floor cracked open as a shift of black rushed upward, immediately forming into a figure in front of the group. The floor closed up just as green details formed around the body and helmet design.



Siegmoar jumped, the high priestess used her staff to block anything, and Harold went to protect Stiper. "What?" Issac simply says.

"... You are not presently in danger," The thin figure informed.

"oh, well your entrance made us think otherwise. Anyways, are you the leader?" Issac asks.

"I am the Administrator," She answered. "Our leader is preooccupied.  They may arrive shortly.  You are the members of the recent unified zone?"

"why yes, yes we are. And we are rather excited to have established a connecting with your world." The high priestess said.

"The record discussed a poison in your planet."

"ah yes, the abyss, its been locked away for a long time now, but we fear that when the first flame fades the abyss will escape." Issac said.

"We will deal with the issue, and afterward, you will meet our leader."

"great! so who is he?" issac asked.

The figure walked forward, silent. She opened a portal to their world. "You will lead me to the location of this abyss."

"uh... o-ok." Issac says, he sounds a little scared as he tells he the location of the doorway.

"Do you plan to accompany as we go to it?" She walked through into their world.

"we must, if you are to survive this." Issac follows her only. the others stay behind.

She made no response to this, save the gesture of waving her hand outward as if to instruct a guiding to the location.
