Zon'Planos: Nero (Identity Month roleplay)

Zon‘Planos: NERO [Casual Roleplay]


“Welcome to Zon’Planos.” The leader greets as you step through the portal on to the streets of what seems to be a completely abandoned, but clean, city. The sky is cloudy but daytime shines through. The streets are spotless, but no cars drive by. The only cars seen are stationary and few. Not a shred of life can be seen.



“You’re all free to explore the entire planet if you so desire, but do your best to keep the collateral damage to a minimum.”  The Headmistress, and her council, walk onward towards a large city-hall seeming building, leaving you to explore the area.



Welcome, Identity student. Please fill out the following information about yourself before you begin your adventure.



(optional) Story prior to arriving at the ID-Academy:


Ah, I see you are talented in one of your trio-skills.

[Choose which skill to excel at]

~Density [Increased durability and defense]

~Psyche [Increased speed of constructs and detail of constructs]

~Output [Increased control over chaos energy and amount able to use]





[DENSITY TYPE]
You are the strongest in your density, but the weakest in your Psyche.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">~Your Density level is 8: You are able to tank multiple (3) shotgun blasts without a scratch but anything larger will hurt you.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">~Your Psyche level is 4: You are only able to make simple constructs such as a tube-arm-cannon, stretching, shrinking, or just general shapes. This has nothing to do with your actual intelligence. You are able to regenerate your Nanites at a rate of 7,500 per second, basically equaling regenerating 2-½ fingers in one second. For your total body to regenerate it would take roughly thirty seconds.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">~Your Output level is 6: You can channel a somewhat above-average amount of chaos energy, with the largest amount able to be contained in your body being the same amount able to burn through ten feet of steel before your Nanites begin to break-down.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">

[PSYCHE TYPE]
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">You are the strongest in Psyche but the weakest in output.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">~Your Density level is 6: You are able to tank a shotgun blast without a scratch but anything larger will hurt you.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">~Your Psyche level is 8: You are able to make constructs in three different colors with up to three separate parts of the constructs. You can have multiple shapes for each construct. Your Nanites regenerate at a rate of 15,000 per second, basically equaling regenerating a hand per second. For your total body to regenerate it would take roughly 15 seconds.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">~Your Output level is 4: You can channel a low amount of Chaos energy, able to contain the pressure of the energy able to break down one-foot of steel at a steady rate before they break down.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">

[OUTPUT TYPE]
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">You are the strongest in output, but weaker in other attributes

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">~Your Density level is 5: You are able to tank 2 shotgun blasts without a scratch but anything larger will hurt you.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">~Your Psyche level is 5: You can make somewhat complex constructs with up to two separate parts, and multiple shapes in each construct. Your Nanites regenerate at a rate of 10,250 per second, basically equaling regenerating 1/3 of your hand per second. For your total body to regenerate it would take roughly 24 seconds.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">~Your Output level is 8: You can manipulate your Chaos Energy at times to bend in mid-blast, and can burn through up to 15 feet of steel before damaging yourself. You can concentrate your energy and have more control over how much excess matter you carry when teleporting. (For instance a low Output Identity will teleport with the ground and grass coming with them, but an experienced Output and Psyche Identity can make sure only they teleport, and not anything they’re touching.)

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Your general level as a student is 6.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">“Nice to meet you “_______”. Once again, feel free to explore the planet. There will be a written test at  the end of the day of what you have learned for extra credit scores. Don’t forget to enjoy yourself while here also.”

Zahak
Name: Zahak

Appearance: He takes on the appearance of a male Plecostamus fish that is murky brown in terms of scale color with a faded green secondary color. Has an odd bulb like protusion on his forehead that can glow like a flashlight, rather runtish even by Mobian or Entity standard in terms of height and proportionally thin as well. Eye color is an algae green.

Gender: Male

Age: Close to Fifteen years of age (I assume that is the proper age for a student at least.)

Bio: -I'll think of one at a later time.-

Trio Skill: Psyche Type

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Zahak turned around quickly, twiddling his pointer fingers out of nervousness. <p class="MsoNoSpacing">For a moment, a white hand was seen, fading out of existence. As he was facing the highway out of the city, to his front was the highway, to his right was a park with a lake section, to his left were various stores with the hospital and theater, behind him was a sports stadium, and surrounding him was the market area. <p class="MsoNoSpacing">Zahak really wasnt sure what he wanted to do today, so he ended up walking along the shopping district; really just window shopping. <p class="MsoNoSpacing">Various Identities were rushing about the plaza, a few rushing into a bakery section. While the stores were filled with products, from clothes to sports equipment to food and so on, only the occasional Identity student seemed to be inside. Not a single native of whatever once populated this city. <p class="MsoNoSpacing">Zahak ended up walking towards one of the bakeries, wanting to get a cinnamon roll.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">(Quick question: does he look like an anthropomorphic mobian fish or a normal fish?) A white identity, female, with a brown and red swirl pattern for her body, was sitting on her stomach in front of a constructed conveyer belt, various dishes materializing out of her mouth and on to the belt.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">(Anthromorphic Mobian Fish, specifically a Placo fish.)

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Zahak approached the identity; rather shyly considering he doesnt get out much. <p class="MsoNoSpacing">She noticed his approach, waving a bit as she was otherwise preoccupied. "Nee' sothey?" she tried to ask. <p class="MsoNoSpacing">"H-hi... Y-you wouldn't happen to have any D-Dutch Letters would you..?" Zahak asked softly. <p class="MsoNoSpacing">"Huwuh?" She closed her mouth, sitting up as dough shot from her ears for a moment as her head vibrated briefly. "Dutch Letters? Oooo' is that a pastry?" <p class="MsoNoSpacing">Zahak nodded. "Y-yeah.. T-they're really g-good!" <p class="MsoNoSpacing">"Hm... well if there's a cook book I can probably make it. HEY GUYS! WHERE'S THE COOK BOOK!?" She called out. The other identities inside--faces stuffed or otherwise--began scouring the area. <p class="MsoNoSpacing">"So you can taste?" The cinnamon-striped identity asked Zahak. <p class="MsoNoSpacing">Zahak nodded. "Y-Yeah.." <p class="MsoNoSpacing">"That's great!" She clasped her hands together as an Identity handed over a cook book. "That's a rare skill to work on," she started going through the book for the recipe. <p class="MsoNoSpacing">Zahak rubbed the back of his head sheepishly. <p class="MsoNoSpacing">It took a moment before the identity girl got the process. "Alright, here we go," Her hand opened up into a small container, smoke coming out from it for a bit. <p class="MsoNoSpacing">Zahak took the container; opening the top and grabbing one of his Dutch Letters. <p class="MsoNoSpacing">The Identity girl retraced with a small wince at the action, slightly offended that he had just detached the front of her hand without asking. Regardless, the pastry was complete. <p class="MsoNoSpacing">Zahak noticed the wince and the fact that he did detatch the front of her hand; thus he assumed he might've committed some sort of social Faux Par. "O-oh... My bad, I-I haven't really been around other I-Identities before.." <p class="MsoNoSpacing">Her eyes widened with a brief flash of yellow; her hand beginning to reform. "Really? How long have you been at the school? You're new?" <p class="MsoNoSpacing">(Fair warning, sick so my replies will be slow.) <p class="MsoNoSpacing">"T-this is my first day.." Zahak answered; twiddling his fingers even more now. <p class="MsoNoSpacing">"Oh wow, so you got lucky," she noted. "Do you make many constructs?" <p class="MsoNoSpacing">Zahak nodded. "I'm a.. Psyche type.. At least that's what I have been told; don't really understand it all that much.." <p class="MsoNoSpacing">"Types?" She asked. "That must be a new thing. I'm an Origin Identity so I just appeared on a mobius one day. Are you an Origin Identity or an Offspring?" <p class="MsoNoSpacing">"Offspring.. The details regarding that are a bit fuzzy.." <p class="MsoNoSpacing">"Oh... so are you a hybrid? Who's your parents? You have a mom and a dad or just a mom?" Her eyes kept flickering yellow. <p class="MsoNoSpacing">"J-just a mom..." <p class="MsoNoSpacing">"That's nice. I think a lot of people here are Offsprings." <p class="MsoNoSpacing">"W-what is this place a-anyways..?" Zahak asked. <p class="MsoNoSpacing">"The store?" She asked, glancing about. "I think they called it 'Croissant Moon', like Crescent Moon, so it's a pun... or did you mean the city?" <p class="MsoNoSpacing">"B-both.." Zahak was new to the area afterall. <p class="MsoNoSpacing">"Well Croissant Moon for the store," She chuckled, "and for the city... I don't know what the city's called but the planet's called 'Nero' I think... or Zone Plants or something. I think one of the teachers would know, but I haven't seen them since we got dropped off." <p class="MsoNoSpacing">"T-thank you." Zahak nodded; offering her a dutch letter, mainly as some sort of apology for the earlier faux par he accidentally committed. <p class="MsoNoSpacing">She took it with a smile. "What's your name?" <p class="MsoNoSpacing">"Z-zahak, you..?" <p class="MsoNoSpacing">"Zetsi," she replied. "I popped up on a pretty peaceful zone and learned how to make food stuff so normally I sell like tons of stuff." <p class="MsoNoSpacing">"Ahhh, I grew up in a more urban setting.." <p class="MsoNoSpacing">"Did you have to hide your powers?" <p class="MsoNoSpacing">"Yeah." <p class="MsoNoSpacing">"Aw, that's too bad. You should come to my zone sometime. I rarely ever have to do any fighting so most people don't really mind." <p class="MsoNoSpacing">"S-sounds like fun.." Zahak chuckled. <p class="MsoNoSpacing">"Yep... so..." she glanced about, "um... Are you going to look around the city more?" <p class="MsoNoSpacing">Zahak nodded. "I-it was nice meeting you.." <p class="MsoNoSpacing">"Ditto," She replied with a nod. <p class="MsoNoSpacing">With that; Zahak set about wandering around the rest of the district. <p class="MsoNoSpacing">(Is he leaving the plaza or just the store?) <p class="MsoNoSpacing">(leaving the plaza.) <p class="MsoNoSpacing">(Much thanks) The rest of the city was open for exploration. Another whispering sound came from in front of him, some feet seen walking down the street. Confront the map for where you would like to go next. <p class="MsoNoSpacing">Zahak chose to go to the park; wanting to relax and possibly tinker with his powers to see his limits. <p class="MsoNoSpacing">The park was quite large, surrounded by the rest of the city. Some brick-walled restroom buildings could be seen in the distance, with the lake just some yards away. It was flat for the most part, with nearly a small forest made of all the trees it had. A small sand-pit was near the lake, with a swingset to the left. <p class="MsoNoSpacing">A frog-looking Identity--male--sat on a bench at the park, silent. He appeared to be the only o- oh wait no, there was a girl in a tree, camouflaged. <p class="MsoNoSpacing">Zahak shrugged; he didnt want to bother anyone, so he looked for a more secluded place before extending his nanites, trying to make a simple bladed construct. <p class="MsoNoSpacing">"Look out! Assassin!" The tree-hidden Identity leaped down at Zahak. <p class="MsoNoSpacing">He suddenly turned to face the tree hidden Identity, thrusting the bladed construct he made at the identity in an attempt to gore it in midair. <p class="MsoNoSpacing">The Identity stuck into the blade from her collar-bone section: her camouflage appearance fading out to a black scale design for the body under the white hoodie with jean shorts and striped leggings. Her hands were more like nubs. She grabbed hold of the blade, attempting to snap it off. <p class="MsoNoSpacing">Zahak slammed her down on the ground with his blade construct in an attempt to keep her pinned, he willed the nanite making up his other hand to restructure themselves into a cannon that he pointed at her head. <p class="MsoNoSpacing">"W-who are you..!?" He asked, charging up the cannon; the assassin might find it a tad hard to snap the blade; but seeing as Zahak was more focused on figuring out her identity she could probably use that to her advantage. <p class="MsoNoSpacing">The Identity slid over the blade, her nanites rubbing over him for a moment before fully reforming behind him. "You were gonna stab that guy on the bench! ... Right?" <p class="MsoNoSpacing">"No, I was going to look for a secluded place to make constructs..." Zahak mumbled. <p class="MsoNoSpacing">"... Oh... wait... really?" Her eyes flickered white for a second. "Oh... well... eh..." she shrunk slightly. "Well... good job." <p class="MsoNoSpacing">"S-so.. Who are you..?" Zahak asked, his constructs returning to their original shapes. <p class="MsoNoSpacing">"Peru," she answered. "... I haven't been there mind you, that's just the name I got." <p class="MsoNoSpacing">"I figured as much..." Zahak muttered, if he was being rude it was because Peru tried to attack him under the belief that he was some sort of assassin. <p class="MsoNoSpacing">"So... uh, what kind of constructs were you going to do?" She asked. <p class="MsoNoSpacing">"I'unno... I'm rather new to all of this stuff.." <p class="MsoNoSpacing">"To constructs?" She raised an- well, she didn't really have eyebrows. It was more like her eye just widened upward. <p class="MsoNoSpacing">"Y-yeah; I mean I've only made simplistic things.." <p class="MsoNoSpacing">"Like blades right?" <p class="MsoNoSpacing">Zahak nodded. <p class="MsoNoSpacing">"Alright well let's see how good you can do it." <p class="MsoNoSpacing">Zahak nodded, this time trying to configure his nanites to make a greatsword with a segmented blade that could also double as a mortar launcher.... So something actually kinda complex. <p class="MsoNoSpacing">Peru looked down the barrel. "What do you launch out of it?" <p class="MsoNoSpacing">(Would it be lore break-y if I were to have Zahak's cannon launch physical items like the junk jet/scrap launcher in fallout 3&4 respectively in exchange for him not being able to use chaos energy aside from what's essential?) <p class="MsoNoSpacing">(You can shoot nanite-created materials normally as an Identity, Chaos-Energy or otherwise.) <p class="MsoNoSpacing">"Sometimes my nanites, but most of the time I prefer to launch bits of scrap metal that aren't made from my nanites.." Zahak answered. <p class="MsoNoSpacing">"So... you stuff stuff in and," she scooped some dirt, trying to shove it into the barrel. <p class="MsoNoSpacing">"I fire it." Once enough dirt was in; he pointed the cannon at one of the trees and fired. <p class="MsoNoSpacing">The dirt splatted, partially denting the tree upon impact. <p class="MsoNoSpacing">"WOO!" Peru jumped before scooping up more. "What else can we put in?" <p class="MsoNoSpacing">"Anything that can fit." Zahak sweatdropped. <p class="MsoNoSpacing">"Can you make it bigger?" <p class="MsoNoSpacing">Zahak shrugged before trying to widen the barrel. <p class="MsoNoSpacing">She began rushing about before picking up a small tree, bringing it over. <p class="MsoNoSpacing">"Just stuff it inside and lets hope that it fires eh?" <p class="MsoNoSpacing">She stuffed the tree in and stepped back in preparation. <p class="MsoNoSpacing">Zahak pointed the cannon directly up at the sky, before firing. <p class="MsoNoSpacing">The tree nearly imploded immediately from being fired. Once in the sky, the leaves blasted out almost as if it were a firework, though the trunk was mostly just cracked. <p class="MsoNoSpacing">"WOOOO!!!" Peru hopped about excitedly. She pointed a finger at the tree, shooting it with bolts of energy to keep it in the air. <p class="MsoNoSpacing">Zahak couldn't help but chuckle; finding this to be quite fun. <p class="MsoNoSpacing">"Hm..." Peru formed some metallic discs, throwing them into the air. "How's your aim?" <p class="MsoNoSpacing">"Not sure.. I haven't really practiced with this sorta thing much so I doubt its any good.." <p class="MsoNoSpacing">"Well try shooting them!" <p class="MsoNoSpacing">Zahak nodded, waiting for Peru to launch the discs. <p class="MsoNoSpacing">(She threw them into the air X{D) <p class="MsoNoSpacing">(my bad XD) <p class="MsoNoSpacing">Zahak aimed and fired, missing the first few shots. <p class="MsoNoSpacing">"Hm, try it again." <p class="MsoNoSpacing">Zahak adjusted his aim, firing a few shots again; this time he actually managed to hit three of the discs. <p class="MsoNoSpacing">"See that was better," Peru praised. "Wanna shot more?" <p class="MsoNoSpacing">Zahak nodded. "Sure!" <p class="MsoNoSpacing">(Waitin' on ya with the GLORIOUS Apocalypse roleplay) <p class="MsoNoSpacing">Peru launched a few more, these one starting form legs like alien saucers. <p class="MsoNoSpacing">(I was the second to last edit trisell ^^;) <p class="MsoNoSpacing">Zahak aimed at these saucer like disc, taking his time before firing each shot. <p class="MsoNoSpacing">"What are you two doing?" The bench-sitting Identity asked, sitting up for the moment. <p class="MsoNoSpacing">"W-well.. S-she's helping me p-practice my aim.." <p class="MsoNoSpacing">"You can do that in the sports stadium," He suggested. "This is a nature spot. <p class="MsoNoSpacing">"We weren't told to go anywhere specific, and we can do whatever we feel like," Peru retorted. "I don't see any wildlife do you?" <p class="MsoNoSpacing">"E-eh..? I-I mean I d-don't see any wildlife.." Zahak muttered, closing in on himself; he wasn't a fan of confrontation and this reeked of it. <p class="MsoNoSpacing">"Well maybe you could do this somewhere else then?" The frog-looking Identity tensed. <p class="MsoNoSpacing">"Or you could," Peru shot back. "What's got you so upset?" <p class="MsoNoSpacing">The Identity immediately jerked a stiff finger toward the lake. "Some other people doing whatever they felt like decided to find all the ducks in there, and drown them." <p class="MsoNoSpacing">"D-drowning ducks a-and shooting targets being tossed into the air..? R-right, those aren't similar a-at all.." Zahak retorted sarcastically, he was just having fun and this guy couldn't leave it alone.. <p class="MsoNoSpacing">"Well I'm pretty sure tearing up small trees and destroying them isn't helping," He shot back. <p class="MsoNoSpacing">"It's one tree!" Peru tensed, her eyes flashing red for a moment. "We're not wrecking the whole city! If you're gonna be a buzzkill we might just go somewhere else." <p class="MsoNoSpacing">"Good!" The frog-like Identity spat back. "Fewer people just wanting to dominate everything and cause destruction." <p class="MsoNoSpacing">"Now you're just sounding emo," Peru rolled her eyes. <p class="MsoNoSpacing">Zahak was starting to get upset now. "E-ever hear of trapshooting..! Wh-where clay pidgeons are launched and people try to shoot them o-out of the air..!? G-guess w-what? T-that's done in p-public parks as w-well! W-who the h-hell do you think you are to just a-accuse us of wanting to dominate and destroy stuff you fucking prick!!" <p class="MsoNoSpacing">The Identity glared at them both, eyes flashing red as he turned back and forth between them. His hands seemed to boil as he fumed, but eventually he just turned and began walking away. <p class="MsoNoSpacing">Zahak sneered as he left, until the adrenalin left him and he was shaking. <p class="MsoNoSpacing">"That guy has problems..." Peru assumed, turning back to Zahak. "Well a- WHOA!" She stepped back. <p class="MsoNoSpacing">Zahak did not like conflict really.. "S-sorry.." <p class="MsoNoSpacing">"Wh- no, that!" She pointed behind him. <p class="MsoNoSpacing">Zahak blinked, turning around. <p class="MsoNoSpacing">(Hooba) <p class="MsoNoSpacing">Nothing seemed to be there. "There was a hand!" Peru insisted. <p class="MsoNoSpacing">"E-eh..?" Zahak mumbled. "C-could i-it be a g-ghost?" <p class="MsoNoSpacing">"It faded away so maybe?" She walked over to the spot. "It was kind of pointing... um..." She looked toward the lake. <p class="MsoNoSpacing">"L-lets go check i-it out.." <p class="MsoNoSpacing">Peru rushed toward the lake. <p class="MsoNoSpacing">Zahak followed after Peru. <p class="MsoNoSpacing">(I cannot believe I made such a short reply. I am ashamed. I must have been rushing. @_0) <p class="MsoNoSpacing">The lake was still. The still body of a non-anthropomorphic duck lay on the ground in front of them. <p class="MsoNoSpacing">Zahak blinked. "Th-this wasn't us.." <p class="MsoNoSpacing">"Didn't the other guy mention people were killing ducks or something?" She poked it once, then stepped back. <p class="MsoNoSpacing">"Y-yeah.." <p class="MsoNoSpacing">The duck flickered for a moment, like static on a television. Peru jumped back. <p class="MsoNoSpacing">"The heck..?" Zahak mumbled, taking a step back. <p class="MsoNoSpacing">The duck began standing up, then looked about, and casually walked on. <p class="MsoNoSpacing">"... That..." Peru shook her head. "... Were we supposed to see that?" <p class="MsoNoSpacing">"I-I really.. D-don't K-know.." <p class="MsoNoSpacing">"Hm..." She dove into the lake. <p class="MsoNoSpacing">Zahak blinked, soon following his newfound 'friend' into the lake. <p class="MsoNoSpacing">Under the water, some sand floated about, a few fish here and there. The water below darkened. Small cracks in the floor were seen: big enough to fit someone's finger, though fitting through wouldn't be an issue for one with morfing-based powers. <p class="MsoNoSpacing">"U-uhhh... How're we g-gonna g-get inside..?" <p class="MsoNoSpacing">His words rippled through the water. Peru just flattened herself as she sunk through. <p class="MsoNoSpacing">Zahak blinked; not sure if he could actually squeeze himself through the cracks using his abilities, but he did attempt to. <p class="MsoNoSpacing">(Shrinking the amount of nanites, compressing and such) <p class="MsoNoSpacing">(I figured as much, but if he's a student then he probably wouldn't know much about what he can do with the nanites lol.) <p class="MsoNoSpacing">(It's up to you. He doesn't have to have that level of skill yet) <p class="MsoNoSpacing">Peru stretched her head out. "What's wrong?" <p class="MsoNoSpacing">"I... Can't re-really shrink m-my nanites... Y-yet." <p class="MsoNoSpacing">"Oh... uh, well... can you teleport under?" <p class="MsoNoSpacing">"... I could try." Zahak muttered, attempting to teleport himself underneath the cracks. <p class="MsoNoSpacing">Due to not knowing how thick the crack was, his foot ended up reappearing half-way in the underwall of the crack, but the rest of his body appeared in what seemed to be a dry cave. Peru pulled her head back through. <p class="MsoNoSpacing">In essence, he was hanging from the roof of a cave by his foot. "..... Whyyyyyyyy qwq" <p class="MsoNoSpacing">"Oh... uh," Peru grabbed hold of his foot, yanking to break it through. <p class="MsoNoSpacing">The cave was probably limestone so it broke pretty easily, meanwhile Zahak probably ended up landing on top of Peru. <p class="MsoNoSpacing">"Oof!" <p class="MsoNoSpacing">(Mostly dirt actually but limestone works X{D) Peru flattened slightly as they fell back. "Uh..." <p class="MsoNoSpacing">Zahak blinked, before quickly hopping off of Peru. "S-Sorry!" <p class="MsoNoSpacing">The white hoodie identity gradually re-inflated so to speak as she stood up. "Uh... w-where... we should look around." <p class="MsoNoSpacing">"Y-y-yeah.." Zahak nodded, willing the nanites making up his hand to act as a flashlight so they could see.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">The area lit up a bit. The cave's path was seen going downward to their left.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"O-oh man.." Zahak mumbled, following the path.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">The ground became slick as the incline got steeper. The sound of running water was ahead, and the air was getting warmer.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Zahak blinked, at least it wouldn't be super fuckin cold now.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">(This website needs facebook notifications)

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Peru slowed as they neared a sudden drop. It was a waterfall. An underground canyon lay yards below them.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">(It also needs an automatic refresh cycle thing like SFW)

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"Woooaaahhhh...." Zahak was, to be quite frank, amazed at the sight; because underground waterfalls leading to underground canyons are an amazing spectacle to witness first hand.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">(SFW?) "... Well, here we go," Peru jumped down the side of the fall.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">As they jumped, they found that the ground below was dry. The actual water went through a thin hole. Peru flattened to the ground upon impact.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Zahak's nanites hardened on instinct; leaving him in the funny yet precarious situation of having half his body stuck in the ground. "... Q~Q"

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Peru quickly reformed as she glanced about. "You okay?" A light tunnel was seen ahead.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Zahak slowly pulled himself out with a pop. "Y-yeah.. S-still; w-we should keep going.."

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">She nodded, jogging into the light tunnel.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Zahak followed after her.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Down the hall eventually led to another water fall. Flowers were lining the hall. (Also left a question on the predator roleplay thing.)

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"A-Another o-one..?" Zahak blinked, looking around the hall.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"Hm..." Peru stuck her arm through. "The rest is on the other side... the tunnel I mean."

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"S-should we jump down the waterfall then..?"

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"We can just," She walked through it, over the hole. "There's a grave over here!"

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Zahak blinked. "A grave? Who's it for..?"

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"Come see!"

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Zahak blinked, following Peru and looking at the gravestone.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">The gave held a figure of a woman on the front, though no distinctions of what kind of woman could be seen. Markings were on her face, but no name was seen.

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

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"... Do we open it?" Peru leaned over the grave. "Who-" she circled the grave for a bit.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"I don't think we should..." Zahak stuttered, but he was curious to find out who this person was.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"... There HAS to be a name," she ran out through the waterfall again. "THERE'S NO NAME!" She ran back. "We gotta find out what this is. There's gotta be a cemetery or something... maybe the professors know?"

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"The professor..?" Zahak blinked, though curiousity was ebbing away at him ti the point where he was close to saying fuck it and digging up the grave.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"Yeah one of the teachers," Peru nodded. "Maybe one of them knows," The grave was certainly unopened, and didn't appear hard to open, but at the same time, one of the professors could have answers.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">".... Let's go ask one of the professors then!" Zahak smiled, giving a few seconds to mull over his options.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Peru nodded. "You can't teleport still right?"

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"N-no.." He sulked at the reminder.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"Alright hold still," She took hold of his shoulders before teleporting the both of them back to the center of town. "I have no idea where they are so maybe we should ask someone."

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"A-Alright.."

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"... So look around!" She rushed off throughout the city before coming back. "We'll meet up back in five minutes okay? ... Okay," She rushed off again.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Three Identities were nearby. One was looking at flowers at one of the market shops, one was flying in circles above, and one was changing into different furniture pieces.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Zahak walked towards the one looking at flowers in one of the Market Shops.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"YO!" The Identity greeted with a two-fingered wave. "... Yeah I'm not saying that again," He chuckled. He looked like a white metallic bear. Orange glowing eyes were behind some kind of visor.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"H-hello.. A-are you one of the p-professors..?" Zahak asked.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"What? Oh nah," He shook his head. "You're lookin' for them?"

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Zahak nodded.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"They went to the capital building," He pointed off down toward the military base. "They cloaked it so the students couldn't just bother them whenever but we can probably sneak in."

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"A-are you S-sure that's a g-good idea..?"

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">He shrugged. "You got a better idea?"

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Zahak shook his head.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"Let's do it then!" He extended his hand to shake. "I'm Marks."

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"Zahak.." He said, shaking Marks' hand.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"Well, Zahak, let's get goin'," He ran off down the center road.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Zahak followed Marks.

They found an empty section of the city, a road going straight through it. It was wide enough but they couldn't feel any structure around.

"Th-this the place..?"

"Probably... hm... can you phase? Like decrease your density?"

"I think so.."

(phasing would be more like vibrating their atoms really fast lol)

(The act of phasing isn't specific to vibrating atoms to a specific speed. The act of phasing is simply to be in a state of matter where one's density is low enough to pass through an object. Vibrating one's atoms at a high enough speed allows one's self to phase due to the effect on the body's density, or the density of the matter they are touching. Additional forms of phasing include entering a different plane of existence separate from the current one, at which point the person is travelling through both the original plane of existence and the new one, but is only physically touching the new until returning to the old. This is partially related to forms of teleportation, where before entering the area in which one is going, they travel to a mid-point dimension separate from the dimension of origin: entering a separate plane of existence, though in the case of teleportation, it's entirely transferring rather than with phasing which has one partially in both planes.)

"Alright, I'm gonna see what happens if I... actually, maybe you should try it over there," He pointed a ways off. "The last time I tried this, my arm blew up." (Allo?)

(I know what phasing is, I was more referring to what I think the identities version if phasing might be lol.)

Zahak nodded, walking towards the direction Marks pointed to.

He was soon at the edge of... nothing in particular, but judging by the actions of Marks, who was currently flashing his hand about, causing it to vanish and reappear repeatedly, he seemed to have his cue to start 'phasing'.

Zahak concentrated on vibrating his nanites fast enough to phase through solid materials; once he got that all figured out he attempted to walk through the cloaked wall.

A spark hit as he began feeling a concrete substance, scratching against it. He was slowly making his way through what could be estimated as a good five-foot thick wall. (Hooba)

Zahak kept phasing through rapid vibration; he wasnt going to force it as that leads to bad results.

It wasn't long before he broke through, arriving at the other side on a long pale grey carpet: the wall behind him cracked a bit from his entry.

"O-oh dear.." He mumbled, looking around.

He hadn't been spotted yet thankfully. He could go either way down the hall though he didn't hear anything at the moment.

He sighed, walking aimlessly down the halls.

It didn't take long for him to come across various department doors but nothing gave a sound for a good while. Eventually at the end of the third hall he entered, he started to hear footsteps going away from him some feet ahead.

Zahak froze up, he sure as heck didn't know what to do in this situation.

The footsteps faded eventually. He could follow them to the teachers, or explore elsewhere.

He decided to follow them to the teachers.

The Identity eventually entered a building where various discussion was being had between different other Identities. Some were sitting, some were eating, some were shapeshifting into different objects. He was at the doorway and they had not quite noticed him yet.

"...." He decided to knock.

"Yeah?" Three called at the same time.

"Well.. I was wondering if I coukd borrow one of the teachers for something.. Peru and I found something odd."

The door opened and he was yanked inside.

"A student," One noted. "That's not allowed."

"How did you get in here?" Another asked.

"I phased through the wall.." Zahak shrugged.

"How did you know where this was?"

Zahak shrugged. "Purely by chance."

"Well no one believes that," came a chuckle from the back of the room, a distinctly female voice though the figure was behind a fridge door. "What's your name, liar?"

"Hmmm.. Name.. Name.. What's in a name.." Zahak mused. "You people probably have records and I haven't made any attempt to conceal my face soooo..." Zahak turned to leave. "I can tell you people won't be much help."

"I'm behind a fridge, so I can't see your name right now," The person called back. "Anyway,"

A green barrier of energy formed some feet around Zahak.

"Hmm.. A barrier.." Zahak blinked, tapping it.

"We're going to ask you again how you knew this building was here and why you are here," One of the other professors stated. "After that, we won't."

"Fiiine, somebody told me about it since I was asking around for you guys.. Ya know, to take a look at the weird ass unmarked grave me and a friend found underground.." Zahak sighed, these people were absolute buzzkills.

The one from behind the fridge started to laugh at this.

"Hmm.. What's so funny?"

"We know exactly what's going on with this place," She chuckled. "The entire point is that you don't.  You're looking for some hints with that?"

"More like I'm curious about the unmarked grave.."

"Well despite deserving some kind of punishment I'd imagine for breaking in here, you did find and get in unnoticed."

"You aren't serious," One of the others groaned.

"Never, but I'm not joking," The voice addressed Zahak now. "So, what do you want to know about the grave?  Who it belongs to?  What's in it?"

"Who it belongs to.. I mean wouldn't there be a body in there or somethin..?"

"His 'One True Love' is... or was, in there.  Probably corroded by now unless he's been maintaining her form."

(Welp)

(CALLING ALL SARENS)

"One true love..? Who's 'One true Love'?"

(HARK! The dance of joy)

"Maybe you should check a library or something."

"Probably won't get the chance in the forseeable future now will I?"

"Day's young enough.  Hurry out, cheater," The door-hidden Identity chuckled.

Zahak shrugged, phasing through the floor. If they were gonna let him go then who was he to complain.

The Identity that led him to the building was no longer in sight, but there were various buildings he could go to for information.

With that said, Zahak went to the nearest building; checking to see if it was open before flagging someone down.

An Identity rushed over, a gorilla-armed girl with the rest of her body covered in some kind of nurse's uniform. Her face was white with sprinkles, like birthday cake. "Ya'huh?"

"Huh..? Who're you..?" Zahak blinked.

"Who's askin'?" She gave him a suspiscious stare.

"Someone who's new to this place?"

"Okay, but whatcha want?"

"Looking for someone, you know a Marks?" Zahak asked.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh, nopes.  What's he look like?  Or her?"

Dovi
Name: Dovi

Appearance: Has the appearance of an Anna's Hummingbird, but the colors are more closer to Pinks and reds instead of emerald green  and Grey. His eyes are emerald green color as he has a slim figure and is quite short to fit the Hummingbird look.

Gender: Male

Age: Around sixteen years old

(optional) Story prior to arriving at the ID-Academy: -will think of later-

Trio Skill: Psyche Type

-(Insert response here)-

Dovi had one hand on his hip, having a slight grin.

Identities had flooded the area... well considering there were only about two-hundred they had scattered out almost entirely by now, but a few were spotted here and there. As he was facing the highway out of the city, to his front was the highway, to his right was a park with a lake section, to his left were various stores with the hospital and theater, behind him was a sports stadium, and surrounding him was the market area. (See map for locations, or ask if you get lost)

Dovi looks around, thinking. "Maybe the Park would be ideal, or possibly see some shops in the Market Area." He thought this over, then he made up his mind and head for the Park, possibly to find some references he may use for his ideas running though his head.

The park was quite large, surrounded by the rest of the city. Some brick-walled restroom buildings could be seen in the distance, with the lake just some yards away. It was flat for the most part, with nearly a small forest made of all the trees it had. A small sand-pit was near the lake, with a swingset to the left.

Ducks could be heard, regular ducks, quacking near the lake. One Identity stood in one of the trees: hooded in grey, though beginning to camouflage in the large plant.

"Heh! Neat I say." He coos at a bit at the sight of the Regular Ducks, going next to the Swingset. He then took a stance and had put his hands in square while getting a better look around the area. "This might be an ideal place for practicing!" He beams with slight joy. "Ideal Setting for something art-related too!"

"You're gonna draw something?" The Identity called down, a prop-like ear stretching down at attention.

Dovi looks up at the Identity, grinning. "That's My Plan!" He beams with honest joy as he says that.

(I keep not getting notified of this. I think whenever Saren edits, it cancels out the notification.) "Cool!" The Identity stretched down, rubberbanding to their regular shape. As the camo faded out, she had a black scale design for the body under the white hoodie with jean shorts and striped leggings. Her hands were more like nubs. "Do you need props or something?"

He grins, thinking it over. "I haven't thought of Props yet, That sounds good to go with this setting." He nods, putting his hands on his hips. "Yea!" (Haha, Possibly XD )

"Okay, uh..." she glanced about. "I can probably turn into something, what would you need?"

Dovi was thinking. "Mmmm, No need to worry about that too much." He smiles, walking to her. "It is still in thining phase, don't wanna rush it, right?" He chuckles happily.

"Guess so," she replied quickly. A loud quack sounded from the lake, getting the brief attention from the girl. "That didn't sound happy..."

Dovi blinks as he glance towards the lake, he had also noticed the sound. "That wasn't happy at all."

"Hm..." she rushed toward the lake to investigate.

Dovi followed after her to the Lake as well, wondering what might be wrong.

Two Identities, one male and one female, looked curiously at the waters as a male Identity stood in the water itself: holding the limp body of a duck. "Are you crazy!?" The water-dipped Identity--Who just happened to be green and frog-looking--called up to the two.

"They aren't exactly important," the standing male retorted, a rather thin Identity with a black face that tipped up into a smoke pattern: the rest of his body being a dark yellow. The female to his left took the form of a mobian gazelle with a pink vest.

Dovi seen this, staring as he was clearly bother by this, very bothered by this more so than he should be.

The water-sitting Identity looked over to Dovi and the white-hoodie Identity. "Are you here to kill ducks too like these monsters?" The others just rolled their eyes.

"Why would I kill something that brings Life and Art to this Lake?" Dovi stated proudly.

"I don't want to hurt ducks," Dovi's prop-acquaintance added.

"You're all overreacting," The thin male rolled his eyes again. "These ducks aren't even real probably. Haven't any of you noticed? We're the only ones here. No natives or anything. It's like a ghost town."

(Fair warning, sick so my replies will be slow.)

( It's Fine ^^ )

Dovi looks at the Thin Male. "I'm not bothered by it, but then again I am someone who makes Art." He shakes his head a bit. "Beside, it isn't too much like a Ghost town." He slightly mutters.

"Whatever," He replied.

"You didn't kill all the ducks, did you?" The white-hoodie girl asked.

"They'd better have not," the water-sitting one growled, his eyes tinting to a dark red.

"Terrifying," the gazelle-form Identity taunted. "Whatever, might as well go somewhere else," She and the thin Identity began walking off.

Dovi walks over to the edge of the lake, watching the two walking off. "Jeez, remind me never to show artwork to them, ever." He glance to the White-hoodie girl and then at the Water-sitting one. He smiles happily.

The white-hoodie girl smiled back, but the one in the water just grimaced, looking down at the duck again. He remained silent for a moment before asking "Wait, so you're an artist?" as if he was only just now catching on.

He grins, his hands on his hips as Dovi nods. "That's Right! I'm an Artist!"

"What do you draw?" He stepped out from the water with the duck.

"I mostly do setting base drawings, but I can draw many things really." Dovi grins. "I was planning to draw the park and the Lake in my upcoming drawing!"

"I was going to be a prop!" The white-hoodied girl informed.

"Do you need anything else for it?" he asked.

"Did we go over names yet?" The white-hoodie girl interrupted. "I don't think we did."

Dovi chuckles. "Yea, we didn't go over names. Dovi is the name!" He grins widely.

"I'm Peru," The white-hoodied one informed, "and I don't know why, I've never been to Peru."

"Arksin," The green one titled. "So should we pose for the picture?"

Dovi grins. "Well, It'll have to be at least natural; but I'm not against posing!" He gets ready for making some art.

"I guess I'll just... stand here," Arksin walked over in front of some cat-tail plants with the duck. Peru planted herself into the ground, her neck extending up into a tree before she dislocated from the construct next to it in her regular form, smiling.

Dovi smiles brightly before he starts sketching out the drawing while ensuring it looks just right. He nods once he finishes sketching and starts working paints, oil paints mainly.

Peru tapped her foot a few times, tempted to look over ,but forced herself to wait patiently.

Dovi finished up later, nodding as he smiles at his oil painting. "Done!" He grins happily.

The two immediately walked over to observe the work.

It was an oil painting of the Lake with the background of the park, and with the two in the picture seeming natural with the colors of the oil paints.

Dovi grins brightly with a form of joy about his artwork.

"Did you construct the oils and everything or did you bring it with you?" Arksin asked.

"We should make copies," Peru noted.

"I had to construct the oil paints mainly, I forgot to bring my set with me." Dovi gives a light chuckled, before looking to Peru. "Really Think so!?" He grins brightly.

"Yeah, it looks pretty accurate," she nodded, a bright turquoise light forming at her eyes.

"Do you ever s- ho- whoa!" Arksin nearly dropped the duck as it began to move. A small jolt, like static on a television, went off as the creature opened its eyes.

Dovi grins at Peru before looking to Arksin to see the Duck moving. "Whoa! It was moving!" He grins brightly.

"It's alive!" Peru noted.

Arksin held the duck up as it began flapping before setting it down. The duck waddled off. "How... did... that..."

"To be honest, I'm not sure..." Dovi watches the Duck waddling off. "Huh."

"Did any of you ask why we were brought here for the field trip?" Arksin asked.

"Well, to be fair, when I pop up; I couldn't really ask anyone till I met Peru, but otherwise..." Dovi just shrugs.

"I just thought we were visiting some new culture," Peru added in. "I didn't really notice anything odd till no one but Identities were around and I don't think any of us are from here."

"Yea, I got to agree, I don't think any of us are from here either." Dovi nods quietly, he started thinking about this. "It is odd..."

"Do you think they killed all the people so we could come here?" Arksin asked.

"That's morbid," Peru gave a half-disgusted look. "They probably just constructed this whole place... maybe if we explore we'll find something?"

"You mean aside from ducks that come back from the dead."

Dovi rubs the back of his head. "True, that is weird..."

"Well do you want to explore?" Peru asked him. "I saw some others taking over some buildings that might have info."

"Yea!" Dovi grins, picking up his painting. "Be nice to get some info about what might be going on!"

"Cool, it's this way!" She hopped into the air, her feet opening up into small thrusters as she blasted off through the streets to the left.

"whoa!" Dovi had a sweatdrop, before following after her as quickly as he could.

"Can't we just teleport?" Arksin noted as he chased after as well. They passed some buildings, nearing the business district with many skyscrapers in the distance.

"Might be easier." Dovi gives a light chuckled as he was chasing after Peru.

They arrived at a tall office building from the looks of it. A logo that read "Red'ns" was seen atop the door. Peru reached for the handle, but a large foot kicking through the door, knocking her back.

Dovi was alarmed by this. "Peru!" He goes to her, before looking to see who kicked through the door.

Peru slid across the ground before standing back up.

An identity in a black hoodie with purple eyes stepped out, folding her arms at them. "No entrance without membership."

"Membership?" Arksin peered. "What like a club?"

"Exactly," the Identity replied.

"That's... uh... Just great?" Dovi shrugs, he didn't know what to do about this whole thing as he glance to Arksin before looking at Peru.

"We kind of wanted to look around the building," Arksin noted. Peru just glared at the identity, eyes redenning with her hands going back and forth between blades and small finger-cannons.

"Gotta be a member," The Identity replied immediately.

"Okay, how do we become a member?" Arksin sighed.

"You'll... um..." She paused, "I dunno, what would you suggest?"

Dovi started thinking deeply. "Well... Mmm... Where would we register to be a member, let alone who would open such a place?" He looks at Peru and Arksin. "I mean, this 'Red'ns' membership I haven't heard of till, like, right now."

"We didn't make the building," The Identity said. "We just found it and claimed it... Maybe if you got a cool construct from someone for us we could let you in."

Dovi's eyes sparkled a bit. "Mm? Well, Depends on how you want this Cool Construct to look! " He looks to Arksin and Peru, grinning.

Arksin looked mostly neutral on the matter, but Peru was gradually calming down.

"We could use something great for fighting," The Identity categorized. "If you find something really complex like a three-pieced blade or a special gun-construct, that should work. Could be something different, but that's probably your best bet."

Dovi nods, before looking at Arksin and Peru. "Well then, I guess we gotta look around if we want to get membership to get answers, eh?" He grins.

"... I guess," Peru calmed. "We gotta find some others then."

"Maybe there will be some more... fighting-oriented Identities at the stadium," Arksin brought up. "Hope they haven't destroyed it already.

"Yeah, whatever, good luck," The Identity went back into the building, closing the door behind herself.

"Yea, Let's hope it is in one piece when we get there, eh?" Dovi rubs the back of his head.

"Yep!" Peru started rushing off before coming back. "Where IS the stadium?"

"Follow me," Arksin began dashing through the streets.

"So. Much. Running." Dovi shrugs and then runs after Arksin.

"It's not like we get worn out," Peru noted alongside him. "... Wonder if people could..."

"True." Dovi grins a bit once they get to the stadium.

It was quite large, a massive circle with layered parking and long halls on the outside. The two Identities rushed through the front doors.

Dovi does a lazy quick spin to try and admire the large structure before running in after the two.

It wasn't long before two tall Identities holding bladed staffs moved in their way just before the entrance to the main court. "Access deni-"

"Okay, no," Peru teleported behind the two, rushing further into the field. The two guards chased after her.

Dovi stares with amaze look to his face. "wow! Well." He grins at Arksin.

Arksin just shrugged. "Should we... yeah I- let's go," he ran after the three.

Dovi follows after Arksin, grinning brightly.

A few other Identities dropped down around them as Peru and the two guards started fighting. Arksin began forming out blades from under his arms, the edges glowing red.

Dovi had a neverous grin, trying to think of something quickly and as fast since he was a Psyche type.

(Do you want some examples of what he could make or do you think you have an idea of what you'll make?)

(Bit idea would be nice, I was thinking a Shield, but some ideas thrown at me would work too )

(Alright. The description says "  You are able to make constructs in three different colors with up to three separate parts of the constructs. " Basically that means that aside from the different colors, you can make constructs with three interconnected or connected parts. For instance, a ONE-part construct would just be a tube for the arm that shot energy. A TWO-part construct would be two cannons that could fire separately, and a THREE-part construct would be both of those in addition to an energy-tipped blade. In terms of a SHIELD, you can make it as complicated as having a fairly detailed shield, add an energy field in front of the shield, and add additional side-parts like a spinning blade around the edges of the shield.)

(Ah, that gives me a lot of help ^^ )

Dovi open his eyes, holding his hands out as he then creates a shield with an energy field in front of it.

(The more you know @_@)

The Identities immediately struck down at his shield with expanded fists, only to bounce off from the energy field, flying backward. Arksin jumped on one of the guard Identities, stabbing into them with his blades.

"Whoa!" Dovi grins brightly, keeping the shield up as he looks around to take in what Identities doing what.

As Arksin fought against one of the Identities, and Peru against another, two more went toward Dovi just before a white-skinned Identity male with a yellow cape teleported in front of them. "HOLD ON!" He yelled out.

Dovi had the shield in front of him, but he peaks over it to look at the Identity that teleported in front of the two. "?"

The Identities stopped, all except for Arksin who continued stabbing until Peru waved her hand at him. The caped Identity looked over to Dovi and the others. "Okay, why's everyone fighting?"

"Um... We charged in After being denied entrances...?" Dovi shrugs, giving a light grin.

"Okay, why did you come here then? What did you want?"

"We were interested in seeing if you guys had a Construst that was fighting-like so we can just hand it over to the guys at Red'n so we can be let into the building over there so we can get a look around. Thaaat's about it." Dovi grins slightly while rubbing the back of his head.

"Hm... Well we could do some trades... but I think you'll have to win it. Yeah," he nodded, "yeah we'll do a little contest here. Alright, guys, back up!"

The guarding Identities moved away as the caped one walked about in thought. "Okay...alright you three go on that side," He pointed to the north end of the circle.

Dovi blinks, looking to Peru and Arksin before going over to the North end of the Circle, he was wondering what may happen in this... 'Contest'

Peru and Arksin followed, though a tad cautiously.

"Alright and you three, over there," The caped one directed. The others moved to the other side. "Alright now everyone choose ONE construct to battle with. The team to have all their constructs broken loses."

Dovi blinks. "Well, I guess My shield will do for me." He refines the shield more with side blades.

Arksin broke off his blades, replacing them with a new set. Peru formed charged gauntlets on her arms, expanding her hands with small cannons on the knuckles.

The two guard Identities repaired their bladed staffs while the third formed five cannon pores over his arms.

"Alright, three, two, one, GO!" The caped Identity flew up into the air, shooing out a beam of energy into the air to signify the battle started. Two of the opponents instantly teleported over to attack Dovi's team,but the caped Identity called out "Wait, no teleporting! We're not doing cat and mouse!"

The two Identities groaned before teleporting back and RUNNING toward Dovi's group instead.

Dovi sighs at the while no teleporting allowed, he then ready himself with his shield. "Whelp, here we go."

One leaped to the air, jabbing his staff at Dovi's head while the other locked blades with Arksin. Peru charged toward the cannon-armed one, both firing at each other as they went.

Dovi left his shield up, covering his head while having a slight angle to where the bladed sides, in a way, would 'parry' the Staff.

Learning from the first blast, the Identity stretched his legs into the ground, burrowing them as he pressed the staff against the shield. The pressure from both ends caused sparks from the energy--like magnets pushing against each other until something gave.

Dovi kept his shield up as much as he could, but he figure if the two of them keep at one, one of the, if not both, construct will be down.

As the staff was less wide and dense comparatively, the grip around it was not strong enough, and it bounced back, leaving the Identity weaponless. To compensate, he swiped at Dovi's legs to distract him.

A few shots came at Dovi from the cannon-arm-lined Identity. Peru was chasing after him as he neared the shield-using identity.

Dovi at a sweatdrop as he then ducks quickly, just a hair missing being hit on the legs by the one identity as he goes to avoid the shots fired at him.

The staffless Identity extended his arm to grab back his weapon but Peru had caught on to this, and was currently tearing into it. The Identity rushed over at her just as the cannon-armed Identity arrived in front of Dovi, charging a blast to hit his face.

Dovi was wide eyes, but he quickly gotten onto his back, shield up to block the attack as he kicks out one of his legs to aim for the Cannon-wielding Identity's knee.

The blast came down hard as the cannon-Identity fell forward, his head landing toward the shield.

Dovi quickly turtles under the shield in hope the Cannon-identity just bounces off his shield.

The Identity teleported aside before he could bounce, falling on his face to the ground instead.

"Marksmin!" The caped Identity called out.

"Yeah, sorry," The cannon Identity grumbled. "It's instinct, man!"

"Well fix it."

Marksmin looked over at Dovi, then sighed as he jumped to the shield, bouncing himself into the air.

Dovi blinks, but then quickly moves out of the way since Marksmin had been bounced into the air; Dovi didn't want to be landed on again

The Identity fired from above. One of Arksin's blades had been broken off by the second staff-wielding Identity.

Dovi was running, His shield lifted up as he watches the fires shot- He was going to time it to try and bash one of the shoots back with his shield.

Seeing as the firing was only harming himself at this point, the cannon-armed Identity rushed down, now going after Arksin who was already being pressured back toward a wall by the other Identity. Peru seemed occupied with the other staff-holding Identity, bashing at his head.

Dovi nods to himself, now doing a dash with his shield; He was hoping he could at least Body Tackle, or really shield Tackle the Cannon-armed Identity before he gotten to Arksin.

He collided with the cannon-arm Identity, leaving Arksin with only one other Identity to deal with. "STAB HIS CANNONS!" Arksin called over briefly while ducking a blow.

Dovi nods, shifting so he could swing the bladed edge of his shield right onto the Cannon-arm Identity's Cannons.

Two of the cannons shattered immediately, causing a small explosion sending them both across the floor. Three remained. A crack sound was heard from the other side of the stadium as Peru had broken the staff of her opponent.

Dovi was sent flying, just now slowly down as he blinks. "Whoa... Whooa..."

Arksin impaled his opponent, throwing him aside for a moment as he rushed over to Dovi. Peru charged at the cannon-armed Identity, slamming at first toward them. They swung out of the way, leading to the hit shaking the ground of the stadium.

Dovi blinks, rubbing his head as he just held his shield- The small explosion having shaken him a bit. "Whooooa, wow."

"Hey, come on," Arkin pulled him up.

Dovi was pulled up, giving a light chuckle, balancing himself. "He-Hehe, sorry about that Arkin, got a bit blown away." He glance to Peru and the Cannon-Armed Identity. "Alright, Alright, I think I'm good."

Arksin nodded before jumping at the cannon-armed Identity. The staff-weilding Identity jumped in, impaling Arksin and holding him up as the remaining cannons blasted him toward Dovi.

Dovi huff, spreading his legs to balance his weight as he waits to catch Arksin, this was so Arksin didn't get hurt too much.

The two toppled backward, the staff-wielding identity charging after them with Peru slamming the cannon-armed Identity into the floor.

Dovi noticed the Staff-wielding Identity. "Here we go again." He gets Arksin off him, without shoving him. Dovi then stands up, his shield in front of him as he charges at the Staff-wielding Identity to counter the staff-wielder.

The staff-wielder hooked the blade of his staff around the top of the shield, yanking back at it.

Dovi yanked his shield just as the Staff-wielder yank.

The blade of the staff cracked off, a spark of energy igniting the energy field on the shield into a burst.

"Shoot, the enery field is a burst." Dovi mutters, but he looks at the Staff-wielder before going for a quick smack with his shield. "It's still working though!"

The Identity staggered back just as Peru slammed down on him. Arksin stepped over, yanking the staff away, and cracking it in half. "That's game."

"That's ga- Hey, that's my line," The caped Identity sighed and floated back down. "Alright, you won. So you wanted some construct designs?"

"Oh, Something Complex like a three-pieced blade or a special gun-construct. Or that's what they said." Dovi smiles, blinking a bit as he then rubs the back of his head.

"That shield thing was pretty good, sure you won't give them that?" He chuckled. "Alright well, we'll have to meet up in my Psyche Archive. You've done that before, right?"

Dovi blinks, before tilting his head. "Nope, haven't done that yet."

"Alright, you know how you have to process through making your constructs?"

"Oh! Yea." Dovi grins.

"The mindscape where you create that, you can store the idea in it too so you don't have to process reconstructing every part," He extended his arm out, a long spiraling tube coming out as different coverings and layers formed on it. "See this takes a while when you're just making the construct, but in the mindscape, you can save the construct," He extended his other arm as the construct formed again in a fraction of the speed. "All you have to do is activate it and your body does the rest."

Dovi's eyes shine. "Oooh Wow!" This will help him a lot.

"Yeah so, if you want a construct, you have to get it from my Psyche Archive. We join nanites--no not in a creepy way--and I let you in. Ready?"

Dovi grins, nodding. "Ready!"

He extended his hand further, his nanites separating out with a blue glow forming.

Dovi extends his hand as his nanites separated out as well.

He entered his mindscape. A white door was in front of him.

Dovi was amazed, he reaches for the white door to open it.

On the other side lay a long hallway with glass houses about. The sky was black.

Dovi looks around. "Wow." He grins happily. "Alright, I'll need to find that Construct."

The Caped Identity appeared in the mindscape as well. "Alright so a three-piece blade right?"

Dovi looks at the Caped Identity, nodding. "Yea! Something like that!" He smiles.

"Alright, let's...see..." The area rushed forward past them as they arrived at a line of floating construct designs. "Blades..." A line of constructs moved forward in front of them. "Here's one," He pulled out a glove with three moving blades on it. Each one expanded before firing out and retracting. "You think this would work?"

"It looks like it'll work fine!" Dovi grins, nodding.

"Alright," The construct stretched out before copying. He handed it over to Dovi. "Just bring this to yours and put it somewhere."

Dovi nods. "Okay! Thanks" He grins as he takes the copy of the construct.

The area shifted back to the door.

Dovi smiles brightly as he leaves out the door.

The connection broke and he found himself back in the real world.

"Cool, now we can get into the building," Peru noted.

Dovi nods to Peru as he stores both the information of his shield contrust and the Blade construst to his own Archive. "Sure can."

"Can we just teleport back this time?" Arksin asked.

"Uh, you can," Peru replied. "I'm gonna... not."

"Whatever," Arksin teleported away.

Dovi blinks. "Well, I guess we'll go then Peru?" He grins at Peru.

She nodded. "Leeeeeee's go," She started running back.

Dovi nods, Running after Peru as he smiles.

It didn't take long to arrive back. The purple-eyed Identity was waiting for them with Arksin standing in wait as well.

"Alright!" Dovi grins once him and Peru arrived.

"... 'Alright' meaning you have the construct?" The Identity asked.

Dovi nods as he grins brightly. "Yep!"

"Alright, let's see it," She nodded.

Lucky Dovi had the Construst in memory as he forms the Glove with the three moving blades..

"... That looks good," She nodded. "Toss it over."

Dovi nods and toss it over to her.

She looked it over, then injected her finger through it. A small blue light went through her arm for a moment. "Okay c'mon in," She walked inside.

Dovi grins brightly as he looks at Arksin and Peru. "Alright!"

The two dashed inside immediately. Once all of them were in, it looked to... HAVE been a business-oriented building. A lot of the cubicles and officer space had been shoved aside with Identities creating things together and writing up plans for some reason.

"Why are we here again?" Arksin asked.

"To Ask around, Question why we're here." Dovi looks at Arksin.

"You're going to ask me?" The purple-eyed Identity asked.

"We're finding out what this city is, why it's empty," Peru stepped in. "Look for files or something."

Dovi nods. "Mhm"

"... So... Look for files or something," She repeated.

"Mm... Alright." Dovi smiles, nodding as he then looks around for some files.

Most of the cubicles were shoved to the left to make room for all the activity being done by the other Identities. Cabinets were along with the cubicles.

Dovi smiles as he goes to the Cuvicles to look at the Cabinets. "Mmm..."

(He's looking through the cabinets I take it?)

(I'll go and type that, yea XD )

Once Dovi stood in front of the Cabinets, he opens one Cabinet to look though it.

(The most exciting of cabinet-opening! EXTREME!!!!111!)

Most were accounting papers, labeled in order of category of date. As he went through them, however, one stood out without a date: a file titled "Nero's Drama".

"Nero's Drama?" He took the file out to look it over.

An entire play was in this cabinet. It went on for over ten pages, but in summary it told the tale of a demi-god. The demi-god arrived from the heavens in the field of a kingdom. He was feared and attacked, but far too powerful to be threatened. Once calm enough, the people asked what he had come to do. He answered "Nothing", so they asked further questions. "Who has sent you?" "Is this a warning?" "Are you a vengeful spirit sent to kill us?"

They kept asking, but he simply said "No. I am without purpose, and because I am without purpose, I do not bring damnation upon you. I do not bring judgement. I have come to explore and discover who I wish to be."

They were increasingly puzzled, but after showing some of the powers this demi-god possessed, he gained a massive following. Parades were in his honor, with people now harolding him as a divine protector. He denied these claims, but attended their parties. He ate their cakes, sipped their drinks, and socialized, but he did not bring any message of wisdom. He only wanted to live.

He chose a simple life at first: developing a business through his powers. People became fearful of his powers again, thinking he was going to trick them with his business, as a snake with sweet honey words, but he never revealed a scheme. His business failed, however, and so he moved on.

Wars waged, leaders rose and fell, but the demi-god remained impartial. He had grown loyal to the kingdom he arrived in, but kept his opinions small as he knew very well the power of his influence. People finally began to see him as a simple person who wanted nothing more than to be himself.

Then war continued. The damage was worse than ever before. They begged him to act, and then attempted to force him. His livelihood was cut off, legal chains until he acted on their behalf. Knowing all too-well what would happen next, the demi-god acted.

The enemy was destroyed. He gave the enemy's leader to the kingdom he lived in, but the people were not satisfied.

... The pages seemed to end there. It wasn't finished, but it just appeared incomplete.

Dovi stares, then he tilts his head. "Huh... This is a whole play, It's an interesting one... I wonder why it wasn't finished..."

"Find anything?" Peru called over from across the room.

Dovi looks to Peru. "This here." He shows her the file.

She skimmed over it. "Soooooooooooo a play? ... Is there an Opera House or something in the city? I saw a movie theater..."

"Maybe the Theater might have something? I mean, it's the only thing that could work for a play... Something I guess."

"Alright, we'll go there then."

"Go where?" Arksin walked over. "We just got in here."

Dovi looks at Arksin. "The Theater, I have a file with a play on it, no date." He blinks.

"No date?" He looked over the cabinet. "No name on here..." He glanced at the title on the file. "Nero? Isn't that like the planet's name? Eh," He shrugged. "Okay, well let's go," He walked out.

Dovi nods, following after Arksin as he smiles.

Peru chased after, the purple-eyed Identity calling over "Wait that's all?" as they left.

The theater was thankfully not claimed by anyone. Actually, no one else seemed to be around it. It was a large cement building with red lights lining each story of its walls: large doors at the front with a banner and title of "CINEMA" across in massive letters. It looked dark inside. Perhaps no one was inside of it either.

Dovi blinks, glancing around. "It seems pretty empty." He peaks inside the Cinema at this point.

Halls and snack stations were about. The doors were locked.

"We could just break them open," Arksin noted.

Dovi blinks, looking around. "We could..." He looks at the doors. "Mmm..."

"... Okay you guys can 'mmm' some more, I'm just gonna," Peru formed a rectangular construct at the size of the doors before ramming the construct through, forcing it open. Arksin rolled his eyes at the comment.

Dovi had a sweatdrop, rubbing the back of his head. "Haha..." He then peaks into the rooms.

The halls were lit on one side, but not the other. Peru ran into the lit one immediately but Arksin went to the snack area. The first theater room to check through seemed entirely empty. No movie was playing. It was silent.

Dovi rubs his chin a bit, but looks to the Non-lit side. Maybe there was a reason for it not being lit? He picked to go to the Non-lit Side to find some clues, possibly.

A humming could be heard as he neared the room at the end of the hall.

Dovi blinks, tilting his head as he then looks into the room with the humming noise. "Anyone here?" He softly spoke as he figure the humming might be a person.

(I have heard legends of the creature known as preson X{D)

The humming stopped immediately as a red and black lamp dropped to the ground some feet to his left.

(Shows you my Typing skills XD )

Dovi flinched, but then he stares at the red and black lamp to his left. "...?" He tilts his head as he walks over to it. "Huh...?" He blinks as he glances around.

The rest of the theater room appeared empty. The humming seemed to come from the lamp.

"Well... Let's see." He picks up the lamp, checking it over. "Mmm... Should be able find a plug and plug it in, right?" He smiles. "I wonder if I can copy it to make a construst with better lighting..."

"Please don't- I m-... uh," the lamp spoke. A groan sounded afterward.

Dovi blinks. "Oh! Sorry." He set the Lamp down.

"So... you're not one of the groupies are you?" the lamp asked.

"Groupies? Me and my friends are just looking for Answers. So, what do you mean groupies?" Dovi asked, tilting his head.

"The ones that, like... made their big 'You can't join our club' things," The lamp grew out, stretching upward as it turned into a hooded Identity. Her hood formed into more of a cloak, splitting open at the front just above the knees with red legs and black skin. A grey muzzle was seen under the hood, but no eyes. "... Hi?"

Dovi smiles. "Hi! Yea, Me and my friends mess those kind of groups, but we're not the same as them."

"That's good," She folded her arms. "They keep popping up everywhere and claiming spots. I wanted to go around the hospital, but they claimed that too, so I came here. I thought maybe if I hide they won't notice me exploring but since they're not here I guess that's okay," she then paused. "Wait... if you're not with them, why are you here? Just looking around?"

"Looking for Clues, as I said before." Dovi smiles. "We're trying to figure out about this whole place, why we're here, so on."

"Oh, I thought you just meant like-... never mind," She tapped her foot a bit. "Um... I haven't really ...ssssseen anything in here but maybe I could help. What got you to come here? Maybe there's a clue from that or whatever?"

"Well, only thing I have is this Flie, that is like a play." Dovi shows her the flie.

She looked it over a bit. "There might be more of these in the theater office," She then gasped. "Maybe there's a film version of this!" A small turquoise spark shot up from her arm.

"Hey, Dovi!" Arksin called out as he opened the door. "We-"

"Ipe!" The Identity quickly reverted to the lamp. Having easily noticed this, Arksin just kind of stood there, glancing at the morphing state.

"Mm? Yea Arksin?" Dovi asked, smiling a bit.

"What's... why did she..." He just shook his head a bit. "Any way, we found some snacks and the manager's office. Who's the lamp exactly?"

"Someone that doesn't want to deal with any of those guys forcing membership stuff. So the Manager's Office, huh? Well, I might be able to find more stuff about this play there."

"Is he one of your friends?" The lamp girl asked.

"Yes, I'm with him," Arksin replied. "You can change back.

The lamp girl hopped to the side, glancing up at Dovi for confirmation.

Dovi grins brightly at her, nodding. "His with me!"

"... Okay," she returned to her body form. "Office right? I can... look through here more I guess, and tell you if I find something."

"Fine, great," Arksin sighed impatiently. "You're coming right, Dovi?" He started stepping out of the room.

Dovi smiles. "Yea yea." He looks to the girl. "You know where to find me!" He then follows after Arksin.

She nodded as they left. Arksin led Dovi into the office. Various cabinets were set about. "I looked through this half," he gestured to the right side of the room, "but nothing matches up with the play. Maybe there's a secret compartment or whatever, or it could be the other half. Anyway," he started opening cabinets.

Dovi looked into the Cabinets as well to help quicken it before looking at anything else in the room.

They didn't find anything till they arrived at the last cabinet. Strangely though, it wouldn't seem to open. Arksin started cutting at it, but it was sturdy. He tried pulling it, but it wouldn't budge.

"That seems odd," a somewhat older male voice noted from behind them.

Dovi blinks, he looks to Arksin before peaking over his shoulder. "Hmmm...?"

A wolf, brown, stood facing them in the doorway. He appeared in his mid-thirties. He wore a collared shirt and jeans.

Arksin looked him over. "... He's an organic."

"He is!" Dovi turns and looks at the Man.

"Where is everyone?" Arksin asked.

"I don't know," The wolf shrugged.

"... HELPFUL!" Arksin growled. "Okay..." He looked back to the cabinet. "Anything you can do with this?"

"I... suppose," the wolf looked over the cabinet, then knelt down, looking under it.

Dovi smiles, watching this. "Wow.."

Arksin peered at the action, then looked to Dovi. "He's... just looking at it... Or are you 'wow' about him being mobian? Because I'm more like 'How' than 'Wow'."

"There," The wolf pressed something and the cabinet began to slid to the side: a hallway and stairway going down behind it.

"More so that he seem to be the only Mobian here than him just being a Mobian." Dovi smiles before seeing the new Hallway and Stairway down. "Oh."

"Still confused about that too," Arksin replied, suspicious of the circumstances.

"Well are you coming down?" The wolf started down the stairway, but before the others could follow, Peru rushed into the room.

"Guys! Problem outside!"

Dovi looks to Peru. "Huh? What do you mean?" He was concern now.

"Some group of Identities is outside, and they want inside. They said they're claiming the building and they're gonna kick us out."

"... Wait are these the guys we teamed up with?" Arksin asked.

"No, different," She answered.

Dovi buff his cheek. "I won't stand for that! No, They can leave this place alone."

"How many are there?" Arksin asked.

"Around like five?" Peru shrugged. "They might be getting more."

"Ugh!" Arksin stomped at the ground. "They're gonna find the hidden area-" he froze, turning to Dovi. "What if they find the organic guy?"

"We need to get out there and stop t- organic? Never mind," Peru started back to the front. "Come on!"

Dovi dashes after Peru. "They can't find the either, Arksin."

(The either Arksin?)

(A Comma was meant to be either, as if stating that before saying his name, lol)

Outside the theater, around six Identities stood in wait. One called over as they got to the entrance "So you gonna leave?"

"No, Because me and my friends got here first." Dovi stated bluntly, glaring at the Six identities.

"Alright," A large twin-jointed blade ripped out from her arm, stretching out to six feet in height. "Ten seconds."

Dovi form his shield, but alterate it to be a Body shield, so it took a bit longer to make. A Body shield with the energy field and the side blades.

Peru and Arksin arrived next to him, forming their own constructs.

"Alright, no shooting," The Identity commanded to the others. "Don't want to wreck the building. GO!"

Three Identities rammed forward at the three, two forming large rectangular constructs to smash into them.

Dovi slams his body shield into the ground. "Hmph"

The barrage slammed against the shield, repeatedly bashing against it with energy on both sides sending sparks about as they pressured forward at him. Peru leaped over, pounding down at the two from above as an Identity teleported behind Dovi, a glowing blade ready to stab at him.

Dovi glances behind him, keeping his shield up as he could easily shift and move out of the way of the Glowing Blade. "Grr..."

The identity sliced horizontally at Dovi just as Arksin stabbed at the identity from behind as the barrage continued. A long shadow came over the group.

Dovi safetly squeeze to his shield as the barrage kept going, luckily getting missed by the sliced, though some feathers and soft fur did get tirm. He notice the long Shadow. "!?" He glance up.

A massive metallic block slammed down toward him and his allies. The barrage-slamming Identities were stunned on the ground as Peru was still beating on them: oblivious to the block. The Identity that attacked Dovi from behind teleported aside, Arksin being teleported away with him due to the stab.

Dovi took the shield out, going over to Peru and lifting the Body Shield up to defend himself and Peru from the Metallic Block slamming down towards the two now.

The massive weight of the block would force them into the ground if it didn't shatter the shield first.

The Energy field was positively gone, but the shield was barely there, cracked for sure, but barely still there. Dovi had a sweatdrop as he notice how cracked the shield. "That's... A lot of damage..."

"Whoa!" Peru liquified until she was turned around. She took hold of Dovi, teleporting the both of them above the block as the battle waged on around them.

Dovi gave a light chuckled. "well, My shield is useless for now, Another hit from anything and it'll shatter." He gives a nervous smile before looking at everything around them. "Jeez, this battle..."

"Well you can make more constructs," She held her arm up, launching a spreading laser to block off incoming attacks.

Dovi chuckles. "True." He vanishes his shield, before making a normal size Shield with energy field, he then making construts a spear with an energy tip. "Heh"

The other Identities began forming a nanite dome over the three, each preparing to launch a sliding weapon toward them. "Ready to give up?" The assumed leader asked. Considering Arksin was now teleporting atop her to drive one of his blades into her, he certainly had made his decision.

"Nope!" Dovi holds his hand back, looking at the assumed leader and the other identities, try to haul the energy spear.

With the spear at her attention, she didn't react in time to the stabbing from behind. Her chest imploded from the spear's impact as she fell back. She grabbed hold of Arksin as she fell, the two beginning the scuffle, but the others remained poised.

A large high-pitched cackle, a ripple of a laugh came from above: far above this group of identities. There was a figure on the roof.

"!?" Dovi glances to the figure on the roof.

It seemed all the others were quite interested as well. A booming but whispery voice called down "STRANGE things are happening, right?!" The figure dropped down to the ground, and a blast of white mist shot out around, covering everything.

"What the!?" Dovi was taken back by this, noticing the white mist.

When the mist faded, the dome was gone. A faceless male figure stood in the center of everyone. He was tall, almost six feet, with long hands, feet, and skin pale white. He wore a pale grey sweat shirt and black sweat pants. A striped green and turquoise scarf hung from his neck.

"Whoa!" Dovi was amazed at the sight of this, staring. "He looks really powerful." He mumbles to himself, but looking over the faceless male figure, mainly judging his choice of colors, but shrugs as he kind of understood.

A chuckle came from the figure. He glanced over at Dovi. "I'm just theatrical... I wasn't supposed to hear you saying that I suppose..."

"Whose side are you on?" Arksin called over.

The faceless one just chuckled at the comment. The leading Identity didn't find this as humorous. She grew out a second arm-blade, approaching him.

"Arksin, might not be wise to attack the guy if that was what you were planning!" Dovi called out to Arksin, having a small sweatdrop.

(Arksin isn't the one that attacked X{D)

(Key word, -Were Planning-, That means he wasn't the one that attacked XD )

"I'm just asking!" Arksin replied.

"I'm not," The leading Identity took a swipe at the faceless figure, who quickly bent backward away from the slice.

He turned to Dovi. "So what is your side here for?"

Dovi looks to the Faceless Figure. "Me and my two friends are just trying to stop these identities from forcing themselves into this place and making it theirs." He blinks. "After all, there are too many of these club things that are so rude about people just wanting to explore the places."

"Alright," The figure stabbed his hand into the leading Identity. For a moment she stiffined, small sparks of light blue imploding about her... and then she solidified into stone: the blue energy seeping into the faceless figure's arm.

Dovi was shocked as he saw this.

The faceless figure turned about to the other Identities. "Don't be shy," He yanked his arm back, shattering the petrified identity. The other Identities teleported away.

The faceless one looked to Dovi and his group. "They'll be back with the rest of their numbers in not too long. You've got a mystery to solve."

Dovi nods, smiling. "Thank you sir!" He looks at Peru then at Arksin. "Come on." Then he when to head inside the theater once more.

Peru hurried after him. Arksin waited a bit before eventually chasing after. The secret stairway was where they left it. The wolf, Shamus, wasn't in sight. He was probably already inside.

Dovi smiles, nodding before going on down the Secret Stairway.

The area was entirely black. "Who's there?" Shamus's voice called out.

"It's Dovi! Jeez it's dark in here." He took the time to form something akind to a lamp, nothing too complex as a form of light source.

Strangely, despite the light glowing, nothing else was visible. "Whoa!" Peru ran about the light a bit. "I can- hey wait over there!" Her voice trailed off toward a silver glow in the distance.

Dovi was now interested, following after Peru.

Soon others could be heard. The group found themselves encased in the light soon after, reappearing in the center of town. Mobians were about. They were running toward the theater with weapons.

Dovi stared, mainly dumbfounded. "Huh...?" He blinks.

"We traveled through time," Shamus declared immediately.

"What?" Arksin immediately turned to the wolf. "That's a rather massive leap. How do you know that?"

"I just do," Shamus replied.

"... Where exactly are you from? Who are you again? How'd you get into the city? You said you weren't a native."

"Maybe we should figure out what's happening in the city right now?" Peru prompted.

Dovi blinks, rubbing his head before looking at Peru. "Ag-Agree, That should be the best. Cause I'm not sure how to answer some of these questions." He gives a light laugh.

"Here's a bigger one: how that guy just ASSIMILATED that girl earlier without any of the professors doing anything about it," Arksin brought up.

"Arksin," Peru tensed, "LATER, please?"

Arksin was tense, his hands boiling, but he grunted out "Fine..."

"I... don't plan to hurt anyone," Shamus pointed out before chasing after the others.

"Well, Uh, Let's figure out what is going on, right?" Dovi shrugs, looking after Shamus before following.

The people were banging against the theater walls, trying to break through, but it remained unharmed.

"What is going on...?" Dovi was confuse, looking around.

The people were yelling things like "Have to destroy it" and "Too big a threat".

"There has to be a way inside..." Shamus started walking around to the back.

"Or we can teleport," Arksin noted.

Dovi smiles. "Yea, We could!"

"... Alright let's go," He vanished.

Dovi teleports after Arksin.

Inside, many movies could faintly be heard playing about. The theater was mostly empty, save for a man at the snack counter.

"Huh? What is going on...?" Dovi question

"A protest it seems," The employee informed.

"Why?" Dovi asked the employee.

"Because they're afraid," He answered. "You've been expected," He walked over, holding out a ticket.

"I... am Expected?" Dovi questions, but then nods quietly. "... Alright..." He takes the ticket.

"What about us?" Arksin asked.

"You may follow," The man nodded. "Room twelve."

"Room Twelve..." Dovi blinks, but goes to look for Room Twelve.

As they arrived at the room, a movie was playing.

"Huh?" Dovi blinks, noticing the movie.

It seemed to continue the script from earlier. After the Demi-God saved the people, new threats appeared. Again and again he was forced to act, and each time, they became more fearful of him. He retreated into the life he desired, but it was too late. They attacked. The entire country went after him. He went into hiding, to let them continue as themselves. He pretended to be someone else, but again something happened to force him to act. The Demi-god went nearly mad.

He searched for a way to see a solution. He trained his power until he could travel forward in time to see how things would change. He went back, and tried every solution he thought possible, but every option that left his hands without wrong-doings, they resulted in the self-destruction of the population, partially through fear of him.

The Demi-god lights up the city, then the country, then the planet. He is tired of it, and he decides that he is no longer going to suffer for them, and no longer will they suffer from themselves. In a flash, he became the only resident of the planet.

Dovi was shocked. "What the...?"

"We don't have popcorn," Peru whispered. "This is wrong."

"Oh my-" Arksin slapped his hand to his face. "That's not the point..."

The screen went black.

"... So was that supposed to represent... something?" Arksin asked. "Like... where's the demi-god?"

"....Mmm... Or Maybe why there was no one when we arrived?" Dovi question.

The area went dark. A new voice called out "What was your world like?"

"Huh?" Dovi glances around. "Our World, Um..."

"Your world. Your home."

"Well, My Home is not the same as others." Dovi smiles. "Having to leave my Home to explore was a life change. My Father might be lonely at home though."

"What, was, your, home, like..." it repeated once more. "Did you hide your power?"

"Mmm... No." Dovi suddenly stated. "I never had to hide my power, even when not around those that are like me."

"How did the world treat you?"

"Friendly, Amazed." Dovi smiles.

"And how long have you 'been around'?"

"Sixteen years, not very long it seems..."Dovi thinks.

"And what is your name?"

"Dovi" He smiles.

A figure formed in front of him.

"I, am Nero."

Dovi was amazed, staring at him. "You are Nero?!" He then thought this over, nodding. "That would explain about what is happening outside..."

A brief flash of light followed, vanishing soon after. "People hate what they can't control. Thus, the only people now here are of my own kind: you and your group."

Dovi seem to frown a bit when he heard that.

"... Regardless, a reward is in order. What would you have?"

Dovi started thinking, unsure what he wanted or needed.

"We have time..."

(Nothing comes to mind honestly XD)

"Very well," A light formed to his left. "The exit."

Dovi sighs a bit, but he nods as he looks to the light, He starts walking towards to it.

As he exited the area, he found himself outside of the theater, along with his group.

"So... That's what happen..." Dovi looks to the Theater.

"What?" Arksin turned to him.

Dovi looks at Arksin. "Oh, The answer to our question." He frown though.

"What's wrong?" Peru asked.

Dovi thinks it over, looking to Peru and Arksin. "Well, Nero..." He keeps thinking about it as he seem to piece it together.

"What do yo-" before Arksin could continue, the Identity from inside the theater ran up.

"What happened?!" She looked about. "People were attacking right?"

Dovi looks to the identity. "Were fighting, the fighting is over till more comes of course." He looks to Arksin and Peru.

"They're coming back?!"

"They might." Dovi frowns.

"Well we should defend the theater then!" Peru prompted. "It's our place!"

"No it's just some place we're at right now," Arksin challenged. "We got what we needed. They can have it."

"But then we can't go back in once they claim it," Peru retorted before looking to Dovi. "What do you think?"

"..." Dovi thinks. "No one can see what We see... And the Threater needs to be open for everyone in my opinion, for those that can't or won't join clubs." He smiles.

"So... we're gonna fight them?" The faceless grey-muzzled Identity girl asked.

"Who are you exactly?" Peru asked.

"Stiper," she answered.

Dovi smiles. "Well, Nice to meet you Stiper."

"Thanks, bu-"

"Yeah, we're fighting them," Arksin replied quickly.

"Oh..."

Hooded figures could be seen nearing the theater from afar.

Dovi blinks. "Just great... Hooded."

"That's them," Arksin sighed out. He grew out a couple more arms, blades forming about. Peru expanded her hands into cannon-lined gauntlets. Stiper looked between the two.

Dovi holds his arm out and forms his body shield with it's parrying blades. "Might need to come up with something new." He chuckles softly to himself.

Lines of the Identities rushed forward, large blades out as others wielded hammers. A few in the back began firing shots at the group.

Dovi uses his shield to deflect the shots that were fired, though he did this to protect his friends and the threater.

Peru teleported into the middle of the chargers, letting off a blast of energy to knock them back. Three of the hammer-users charged down, slamming their weapons at Dovi. Arksin began launching blades toward the coming Identities, the blades imploding upon contact. Stiper reached over to catch one of the hammers coming down at Dovi.

Dovi held his shield up to stop the hammers, though with a tilt in an attmpt to parry them as well with the blades on the side of the shield.

The hammer's clashed repeatedly with the shield but did not dent as they bounced back. Stiper quickly wrapped her arm through one of the hammer-holding Identities, slicing the base of the weapon off.

Dovi grins as he goes to shield bash the identities.

The Identities fell back from the impact, but one appeared above Dovi, sending a blast of energy down at him.

Dovi gasped, going in for a quick protection for himself with the Body shield.

The blast of energy sent the shield bouncing downward, jerking Dovi with it.

Once his shield bounced downward, Dovi was following after since he had no real strength to stop it's downward path. "Ooooo!"

The Identities surrounded the group, a spreading wall of chaos energy nearing each of them. They were being pressed in toward the center.

Dovi groans as he started to get up before shaking his head. "uugh..."

"... Wait a minute," Arksin teleported away.

Dovi blinks when Arksin teleported, he glance around. "What is he planning...?" He mutters quietly, getting up onto his feet once more and looked over his shield to see what damage it has received.

The shield appeared in tact save for some of the blades broken off, but the surrounding Identities were still closing in.

Dovi glances up from his shield at the surrounding Identities. "...Why do they need a Club Honestly?" He looks to the shield. "Just having a group of friends without having to be jerks isn't too much of a problem..." He grumbles to himself, before looking to his free hand, holding it out in front of him as he starts fully concentrating as he close his eyes. He was an Artist, not really a fighter, bt the shield can only do so much at this point. He uses his contrust abilities to form sometihng close to a spear yet with the appearance of a Paintbrush.

Peru glanced over at the new construct. "What are you going to do?"

Dovi was focusing too much to response as clicks a section of the 'spear', which en-long the bottom end of the Paintbrush-spear. He opens his eyes and glance to Peru. "Making something to help me combat that isn't just the shield I made." It sure was a big Paintbrush even if it was meant to be a spear construct.

Stiper began forming a nanite wall around them, but it was already beginning to burn off. Arksin reappeared in the air, waving down.

Dovi glances up to Arksin, confuse really. "?"

Alongside Arksin appeared the purple-eyed Identity from earlier. The opposing Identities paused, glancing up as dozens of other Identities began appearing above. "We joined one of these, remember?" Arksin chuckled down.

It seem to click in Dovi's head, nodding. "We did." He gives a nervous chuckled.

The allied Identities slammed down with expanding constructs on the circling energy and immediately began dueling with the opposing team. The purple-eyed Identity girl walked over to Dovi and his small group. "We're defending a theater?"

Dovi nods. "Yes we are." He was blunt about that.

"... Must be a good reason. What's special about it?"

Dovi smiles. "Well, It's a Theater, I figure it should be open to all of us instead of being a club thing only, after all, this is a means of Entertainment, so why not have it open for everyone?"

"... Not buying it."

"Are you going to stop helping if that's all we have?" Peru asked.

"We can't exactly STOP now that everyone's fighting," the purple-eyed girl informed.

Dovi rubs his forehead a bit. "Alright..." He let out a low sigh. " Too Many places have been claimed as clubs, and those clubs, as Me and my friends have experienced with you and the others; That if you're not part of the club, you can't enter. Well, Me and my friends here were first ones to be in the theater. This is because of the following clues to a question we had about this whole place. Why is it so empty beside us Identities here? The paper we found at your clubs' base were that of a play, but it was incomplete, so we came to the theater to see if the rest of it was here... There isn't much detail to say that it would be understandable as we can't show it beside tell. But I rather this place be open to all identities, not just for moments of relaxing or being able to explore when they please... There is something to this whole place that the Theater had answer our question..." He looked serious, looking to the purple-eyed girl.

"... Alright, after we're done fixing this up, you'll have to show me what's so special."

Dovi glance to Arksin. I'm not sure if it is still there though..." He glance away, thinking. "But, we'll try to show you what it is if it is still there."

"... Deal... watch the fireworks," She stepped aside, showing off the different Identities taking down the opponents. From above, the faint figure of a faceless man watched down at them.

Dovi watched all of this, amazed really.

Soon, the others were gone, leaving only the allied Identities of Dovi's group.

"Alright... Best see if the secret entrances is still there or not..." Dovi mumbles to himself. "I wouldn't be surprise if it wasn't there..."

Arksin led the way to the office, but as expected, the secret hall was gone. "Alright so what WERE we going to see?" The purple-eyed Identity asked.

Dovi touched where the secret hall was. "would have been a hallway that lead to some stairs..." He looks to the Purple-eyed Identity. "Do you know someone by the name of Nero?" He questions.

"Well that's the name of the planet," She nodded. "Why?"

"Well, because Nero was a being before the planet was name. Once lived beings that weren't like us, the history was all explain but the play piece we found, but also by the secret we had discovery here, as if sent back to time before those that lived here were vanished from this planet...."

"So... was Nero like an Identity like us then? He killed everybody or there was a plague?"

Dovi thought about this. "...He said he was like us, an Identity, he was the one who whipped them from the planet... As he was very powerful."

"... So he can hear us right now?" She looked around the building. "All of this must be nanite-composed... that's... kind of scary actually."

Dovi nods. "Seems to be..." He sighs a bit.

"So you're convinced?" Arkin folded his arms.

"...It explains things," She noddd. "Wonder why we were brought here. Maybe just to learn how powerful we can get..."

"Well now that this is over, we're going to let everyone go in and out of here right?" Stiper spoke up quickly.

Dovi looks to Stiper, noding as he smiles. "Yep, I mean, after all, that's what I wanted; I... Felt that it would be better that way, so that we possibly can experience different things when things are more open to all of us."

"...That's nic-"

Suddenly a booming voice came out. "Wish, granted."

The lights of the theater all turned on.

Dovi blinks, a bit dumbfounded. "I wasn't the only one who heard that, right...?"

"No," The purple-eyed Identity rushed out of the room. Stiper rushed out as well.

Dovi follows after the two out of the room.

A large red canopy was lining the outside of the theater. The front light letters were blinking and music was playing. A suited man walked out, motioning for those that wished to come in to see films.

Dovi blinks, very dumbfounded by this but was also amazed.

"What should we do now?" Peru asked.

"I'm... Not sure?" Dovi gasped, honestly confuse as he looks to Peru, a nervous smile on his face.

"We could... watch some movies?" Stiper suggested. "I mean, we're all leaving after today so..."

Dovi smiles. "You know, that is a very good idea!"

The group made their way into the theater. Some couple hours later, they came out. The world was dark, stars shining in the sky was slower music in violin played throughout. Most Identities were giving off light shows to each other around the city.

Dovi smiles, making some art-related construsts before starting on a paint of all of this.

Peru stuck around to watch him work while the others rushed off to look about further.

Dovi paints it all out, looking up from it once he finishes it. "Picture of a life time..." He grins happily.

"That looks great!" Peru gave Dovi a side-hug. "Are you gonna keep it? Maybe put it somewhere?"

Dovi looks at it. "I'm thinking of recreating it, or get a picture of it to send to my father and then keeping it... I'm not sure where I would put it though." He chuckles nervous as he looks at Peru, but he smiels brightly.

"Well... maybe there's a museum or some place here?"

"An Art Museum would be nice." Dovi chuckles. "Maybe I can put the First picture I did since we've arrive here in the Museum as well?" He grins.

"I'll be right back after looking for one!" She rushed off.

Dovi smiles, he then looks up at the sky. "... Mom, I wonder if you can hear me..." He chuckles, grining brightly. "I know I must be too old to speak like you're there, but I'm glad I had lots of fun. I hope you're watching over father, I know he still miss you greatly..." He whispers. "Still... I'm glad I had this adventure, and found friends and so many new things..."

Peru eventually rushed back. "FOUND ONE!"

"Sweet!" Dovi stood up as he picked up his things and goes to Peru.

She led him through the city to the mall before arriving at an art museum shop. It wasn't that large, but various paintings of cities, landscapes, rivers, oceans, and so on, were plastered about.

Dovi smiles brightly, looking around the museum. "Amazing..."

"Let's make like... a cool presenting thing for the painting," Peru walked over to an open section and began molding out ribbon-lined posts.

Dovi chuckles, nodding as he follows Peru.

"You can put it up," She informed.

"Alright" Dovi grins, pefore putting the painting up.

Peru grew out some nanite vines around the frame to hold it in. "There we go! What'cha callin' it again?"

"Mmm... I guess sometyhing cheesy like 'Memories' or 'Stardust' might work?" Dovi looks to Peru, smiling."Or Maybe... 'Fun times'?"

"Alright, well put it up," she pointed. (Hooba)

Dovi smiles, nodding as he then put it where she pointed, 'Memories' sounding to be the best in his mind.

"GREAT!" Peru clapped. "... Hey you're going back to the school when we get back? Or back home or...?"

"I'll be exploring, but maybe I'll stop at home first. Though, going back to school sounds fun if I'm going to meet you guys again." Dovi grins.

Peru nodded. "Definitely."

Soon daybreak came and the students were being called back to the center of town where the headmaster stood atop a nanite pillar.

Dovi stood with the other students in the center of town, smiling.

"Alright, before we head out," The headmaster informed, "we have a quick award to give out to specific students that found the hidden mystery and solved it.  Will the Identities... Peru, Arksin, Dovi,and Stiper, step forward?"

"... Wait," Arksin turned to Dovi. "What about the wolf?"

"He... Might be hidden, or maybe they don't really know him... Or is possibly part of the mystery?" Dovi shrugs before steping forward.

Once they were all close enough, pillars rose them up to the ground. "Here are our winners!" A set of glowing blue boxes floated in front of them. "Your prizes.  Don't open them till later."

Dovi nods, grabbing his box carefully.

"Alright now that we're done there, everyone going to their homeworlds please go down this hall," a long hallway appeared to the left. "Everyone else remain here to return to the Dominion."

Dovi looks to the long hallway, but he smiles at Peru, Stiper and Arksin. Going back to school will be his own personal adventure after all.

The group waved a bit. Stiper ran up and hugged Dovi.

Dovi return the hug, chuckling.

Soon he was back at his home. Inside of the box he would find a glowing blue orb.

Ze End Basically yep X{D

Litha
Name; Litha. (obviously)

Appearance; A linx-like identity with greyish blue fur and white hair that is constantly flowing along her head.

Age; 23

Bio; literately everything is found here

Trio Skill; Psyche

"Oh!" Litha gasped as she twisted around to find the source of the sound.

A waving hand, pale, faded out as it waved to her before fading. This would not be a regular field trip. Exploring the city would hopefully provide answers as she explored further. At the moment, she was in the center of town square: surrounding this was the market area.

"Hmm.." She murmured, tapping her chin thoughtfully, as she looked around. She then decided she was going to hunt for the shops.

The plaza was probably the most populated area of the city, though only with Identities. No one else seemed to be here: no native people--mobians--in sight. Twenty-five or so Identities mostly rushed into a general store, some jewelry shops, video game stores, a fitness section, a candy shop, and a bakery where dough was starting to flood out the door.

Undecided, Litha simply decided to 'cruse' around the shops to do some window shopping. She sashayed with purpose down the walk-way to see what else the market had in store.

Some tech mall sections were also in the plaza, and eventually at the center-end of the hall stood a carousel with a food stand in front of it: a skylight far above. A few Identities were enjoying... tearing the horses off and modifying them into mobile transports. They rushed past Litha- well mostly rushed past. The poles in the horses were tearing at the ground as they went.

After a few moments of silence, she simply uttered "..Fabulous." With stars in her eyes... Though they were there to begin with. "So much shopping could be achieved~" Litha chirped to no one in particular.

Another ghostly whisper started as she got closer to the carousel itself.

"Eh?" Her ears perked up, and she very cautiously walked across the floor. Until she was a mere foot away from the strange carousel.

For a brief moment came a voice saying "You have to fight for us..." before it faded out. A boom sounded from far behind her.

Litha almost jumped out of her heels. And she quickly turned to see the commotion. "Fight...?!"

The Identities riding the horses were on the ground. The body of the horses had imploded. The Identities looked about in fright.

She was just as scared as they were, and backed up closer to the carousel to hide behind.. Something! Anything?!

There were over twenty shops to duck into, though most of the other Identities didn't appear spooked. The carousel didn't move or make another sound at the moment, but the two Identities immediately rushed over, zipping around it in investigation.

"Ahem!" She said clearing her throat and straitening up. Litha was still mildly spooked by the implosion, but she pretended to be studying the carousel horse. With sudden 'great interest.'

The ride appeared unmoving, with no sound until a large rippling banshee-like cackle sounded from right above it.

Litha cringed and glanced up to find the source of that ugly racket.

A faceless figure glanced down, his feet dangling a bit over the top of the ride's main cylinder he sat atop. He wore a light grey sweat-shirt, black sweat pants, and no shoes. A striped scarf--at the moment being green and turquoise--wrapped around his long neck. His long feet and even longer fingers twitched just slightly as he looked down toward her. "Quite the reaction!" He called down in a still humored, somewhat booming whispery voice.

"You think your quite funny, don't you?" Litha called in irritation. Smoothing down her somewhat wrinkled dress.

"Not at all," He replied, still chuckling slightly. "I think YOU were quite funny. STRANGE things be happening, right?" He turned toward the remains of the blown up horses.

"Strange? More like Bizarre. Is this a regular occurrence here?" She demanded. "If so, I don't think my life is worth a little shopping trip." Litha huffed.

"No, not really," He shook his head before shoving off, landing with a large thud on the ground a few inches in front of her. Up close, he stood at almost six feet himself. "You're all just being messed with. It only happens here and there: a mystery for you to figure out."

Litha seemed a bit intimidated by the figure at first, but that was quickly replaced with poise and bravado. "..And why would someone want to that. To me?" She said, checking her nails for no real reason.

("her nails for no real reason"?) (**Checking. This is what I get for editing on my phone .-.)

"Guess to have fun," He shrugged, leaning back with a small relaxing grunt against the cylinder. "I've gone through this a long time back. Think of me as... eh..." He rolled his hand a bit, looking for the term, "the experienced college student checking in on the current high school kids."

Litha snorted. "Well. As you can see, I don't need any help. I can handle myself." She stubbornly pointed out.

"Who said I was here to help?" He replied. "Then again you were asking why, so..."

"Hm. Your just about as cryptic as my grandmother on her deathbed." Litha sighed, tapping her foot impatiently. Immediately setting off to take matters into her own hands, she pretty much just strutted off without so much as a 'bye' to the strange tall man. Ain't nobody got time for that. Litha ended up retracing her steps down the hall to the mess of carousel horse scattered all over the place.

The heads of the horses remained. They both pointed off in a specific direction: at a hall to the left where an exit was seen. There was still plenty of shopping possible to take part in, but she could also look into this new mystery.

"Hmf." She grunted. If anyone was going to get to the bottom of this, it was going to be her. So Litha trailed off the the left and checked out the exit, before pushing it open.

Across the street from the exit as she left was the theater.

Hurrying along the pavement, Litha entered the building with much interest.

"You catch on quick," the voice of the faceless figure called from the left. The theater was only partially lit. One hall had lights, the other did not, but the snack stand was stacked full.

"Hm. I think not." She said, taking one good look at the darker part of the hall. Litha ended up investigating the snack booth to see if any sort of clue was hiding under the wads of sugar.

"What's that supposed to mean?" He asked while strolling over. "You're saying you don't figure things out quickly?"

There were many name brands but nothing particular stood out at the snack area.

Litha snorted. "...And why are you still here, again?" She asked, kicking a cornball to the side.

"Maybe I'm just here to watch you fail or succeed at this."

She bit back any further retorts. ''This guy is probably more formidable than he lets on. ''Litha still disliked the man none the less. She then continued on her search down the more lit parts of the theater.

One of the movie banners began flickering in the distance. Nothing appeared on the title itself.

Litha tiptoed over a puddle of soda and glanced around to see if there was a projector room of some sort.

Above in the theater room with the flickering light, there seemed to be one.

Tapping her foot for several moments, she worked her way closer to the wall the projector sat in, and searched for an entry way.

A door reading "Employees Only" was quite visible.

Sighing, the identity shrugged of the empty warning and waltzed into the room like she owned the place.

(Thug life) (The thug life didn't choose her, at all. She choose the thug life. and the thug life ran)

No one was inside, though there might have been something in the projector.

Litha's heels made a light tapping sound against the flooring as she made her way to the projector, and popped open its side to see what was playing.

A tape was inside. It read "Nero's Drama".

"Nerooo..?" She muttered. For old times sake Litha decided to see if the tape could play. If not she would move on.

The projection showed an image of a planet. A narration began.

''The demi-god arrived from the heavens in the field of a kingdom. He was feared and attacked, but far too powerful to be threatened. Once calm enough, the people asked what he had come to do. He answered "Nothing", so they asked further questions. "Who has sent you?" "Is this a warning?" "Are you a vengeful spirit sent to kill us?"''

They kept asking, but he simply said "No. I am without purpose, and because I am without purpose, I do not bring damnation upon you. I do not bring judgement. I have come to explore and discover who I wish to be."

''They were increasingly puzzled, but after showing some of the powers this demi-god possessed, he gained a massive following. Parades were in his honor, with people now harolding him as a divine protector. He denied these claims, but attended their parties. He ate their cakes, sipped their drinks, and socialized, but he did not bring any message of wisdom. He only wanted to live.''

''He chose a simple life at first: developing a business through his powers. People became fearful of his powers again, thinking he was going to trick them with his business, as a snake with sweet honey words, but he never revealed a scheme. His business failed, however, and so he moved on.''

''Wars waged, leaders rose and fell, but the demi-god remained impartial. He had grown loyal to the kingdom he arrived in, but kept his opinions small as he knew very well the power of his influence. People finally began to see him as a simple person who wanted nothing more than to be himself.''

''Then war continued. The damage was worse than ever before. They begged him to act, and then attempted to force him. His livelihood was cut off, legal chains until he acted on their behalf. Knowing all too-well what would happen next, the demi-god acted.''

''The enemy was destroyed. He gave the enemy's leader to the kingdom he lived in, but the people were not satisfied.''

It stopped there. It the projector bursts into flames.

"HOW strange..." The faceless figure's voice echoed as the door opened up. "... That came out way more haunting than I meant for. Apologies."

"Oh yes, this is all simply coincidental.. Hmm?" Litha commented, pulling out a water bottle from her purse and dumping the contents onto the fire. "What are you hiding?" She asked with a hinting curiosity.

"Me? Nothing," He shrugged. "This isn't my secret, I just know it and like watching people solve it. So, what did you think?"

"Pretty interesting. But mainly sad." Litha said. Tempted to say more, but instead she glanced around to see if there was anything else worth her while,

The room itself was empty, but through the projector window, a small cylindrical shape with an upside-down bucket-looking object atop it could be seen in the theater itself.

"Now if you'll excuse me." She said to the creepy faceless man. And with that she stepped out of the employees room. Reluctantly checking the darker corners of the theater that remained unseen.

Upon further inspection, the shape in the distance appeared to be a red and black lamp.

Impatiently, Litha walked over and turned on the lamp to see if it was of any value to her time.

A small "eep!" came out from the lamp as it flickered for a moment before falling on its side.

"Oh my. Er. Hello?" Litha questioned, poking the lamp

"Hi," It replied immediately, hopping to the left. "... Kind of pointless hiding now huh?"

"Um. Considering you've been spotted. Yes." Litha said, somewhat trying to figure out what it was. "Why would you hide??"

"Well..." The lamp grew, forming into a female Identity. She wore a black hood that split out just above her knees, with her legs being a shiny red, and the rest of her skin through the hood being grey. She had no face, except for a light grey muzzle. "People came other places, claiming them."

"Like territories?" Litha pressed on. "Who came?"

"Different Identities. They were groups that wanted to have their own buildings... they kicked me out of the last one."

"Hm, how sad." She said, monotone. Concerned with no one but herself. "..What's been going on here? So far the city has been acting.. less. Than average."

"What do you mean?"

"As in, things have been exploding. And a creep-o guy has been following me around. Talking about me figguring something out. This isn't like the matrix is it? I've only seen that movie ONCE and I still get nightmares."

"Um..." She shrugged. "I don't think I've seen much strange, but... I mean there was the weird hand that waved earlier in the city. That was long gone though: I thought someone was just playing a joke. You got brought here by the exploding? Did there be- I mean, were there any clues or something?"

Litha's eyes narrowed with suspicion. "...Only the heads were left." She replied.

"... Heads?" She leaned back. Her face started to turn white. "W-who-"

"What? Who do you speak of?? I'm clueless here."

"Where did the heads come from?"

"The exploding carousell horses. Near the town square. I was in the market when it happened." She said.

"... Wow..." She stiffened up. "Do... you want help searching here then?"

"Ha! I can do such a mundane task by my self, thank you very much. Unless your coming along to watch..Me. Specifically, then fine~" Litha said with some drastic hand waving.

"Watch you?" She tilted her head. "Like a reporter or something?"

"I have plenty of those.." She lied through her teeth. "..More like an admirer." Litha continued.

"Will... that help you figure out the mystery?"

Litha groaned for a moment. "..Probably. not." She sighed. "I just can't get it though, What am I even looking for..??" She asked herself more than she did the lamp child thing.

"Well staying in one spot isn't helping," The voice of the faceless  figure spoke from just outside. The Identity immediately hid behind a row of chairs.

She ended up retracing her steps to head outside, leaving the lamp woman be. "Hm, why is there a mystery to begin with? What am I wasting my time on here, big guy?"

"Well I won't spoil the mystery itself, but I'd imagine you'd get some kind of prize for figuring it out," he informed, standing outside. "From what I remember, it's somewhat randomized in order to get people exploring and learning new things along the way."

"Hm, well. Like in a good game of Clue, you get little hints along the way. Bits of evidence. So far the only information I've actually found is the exploded horse head. And that video tape.. Am I missing something here?"

"Every place will have some kind of clue if you look," He answered. "Others are finding them too though so interaction's partially important."

"Hm. Well then, this should be a cinch' then." She said, looking around for her next destination.

(Why yes, I did.)

"Maybe you should head outside of the theater to decide where to go," The faceless figure began walking off as the previous Identity girl stepped out to view.

"So, dear. Where do you think I should grace my presence.. Here within the charmingly strange town."

"... Me?" The faceless hoodie girl pointed at herself. "Uh... W-we could try the hospital I suppose... but one of the groups claimed it..."

"Groups? As in a field trip party? Or something else entirely..?" Litha asked.

"...The groups... I told you about," She replied. "Taking areas."

"Ah, thats ''right." ''Litha sais, tapping her foot a few times before sighing. "Well, no one's getting in my way. Lets go see what all the fuss is."

"... Okay," She followed Litha out and toward the hospital. The front wing entrance appeared unguarded, with seats and tables in front atop a clean grass walkway.

Litha tapped her way into the hospital, without much thought to the outside's appearance.

The doors stretched out as she began to enter, with Stiper having followed closely behind. They immediately grabbed at her to throw them both back out.

The pop-star wannabe was not pleased with this notion at all. "HEY!" She yelled, sand dribbled down from her body to form a cord in which she used to slap the people's hands with. "No touchy."

The hands grew out further to snatch at them, forming into two striped Identities. "This is our turf," One claimed.

"Because you say it is or because you invested in helping the ill?" She spat. Taking the cord in hand and spinning it into a saw motion. Litha stood her ground.

"Because it is," They replied bluntly in unison, chain-hanging maces forming out from their arms.

"U-... DUCKS!" Stiper puffed out into a cloud of smoke before rushing forward, causing a distraction as one chased after her.

Litha was uncertain of what to do next. So she went with what she did best. One of her arms shifted into a guitar, in which she promptly smacked one of the people upside the face.

The Identity staggered back, shaking his head. He paused. "... Wait is- forget it," He stretched his arm out to trip her legs.

Using her guitar, she strummed its strings so hard a loud wave of sound was launched at her attackers. In the midst of this, Litha began to hum..  'I Will Survive..'

The Identity was knocked back, stunned for a moment before continuing his attack toward her.

"Psh, looks like someone might be as good as me~" Litha commented. Snagging her cord, she snaked it after the identity, and tried to trip him/her to halt the attack.

(Kinda need to know how she is reacting to the attack X{D) (Oh cheesecake sorry xD)

The cord latched to the Identity's arms, causing him to pause for a moment. He yanked back to tug her forward.

"Whoooa!" She yelped, stumbling around like a baby doe. In attempt to regain her balance, she also yanked on the cord, trying to pull herself up.

The Identity grabbed at her head, a charged energy preparing to burn her.

Litha ended up slipping and landing on her bum. High heals was not a good choice for today. Using the momentum on her fall, she tried to launch the identity across the room by tightly winding the cord around her hands.

The Identity skidded across the hall, tearing into the ground with his feet as he went to cut the cord.

"HA!" She said triumphantly. Detaching the cords from the identity and winding them back to herself. Slowly getting up off the ground again, with a sore tush.

The Identity paused for a moment before shooting small energy pellets at her.

Litha sighed, and constructed her mic at the end of the cord. Several cords branched out from her main mic cord and jabbed into the energy balls, absorbing them. With her mic powered, Litha belted a high C note, causing a serious re-percussion of sound to blast at everyone and anyone in a 50 foot radius.

The Identity was blasted back down the hall. An alarm started but she was alone for the moment.

The young lady dashed down the nearest hall before anyone could nab her, disintegrating her music gear along the way.

Without Stiper at her side--most-likely trying to lead away other Identities--Litha had little to go on for her investigation. She found the front desk, which listed the deparments: E.R., security room, medication storage room, pharmacy, various patient tables, offices. Something had to relate to the theater, or perhaps anything connected to visuals.

Litha wondered if there was anything in the security room or the storage room. She ended up going with the security room and followed the sign's directions to its location.

As she went, various Identities were walking around. A few seemed to ignore her, but two seemed to realize they did not recall seeing her in their group. "Who are you?" One asked.

"Why, I'm Litha Star~, A visitor to the shining halls of this dull place. Here the brighten the place with my presence." Litha answered. "Since you two work here, have you possibly seen my lamp assistant?"

"Lamp assi-" The Identity shook her head. "What?"

"Are you even part of the group?" The other asked.

The girl stood there for a moment. "Uh, duh. Have you not heard? I'm the sheriff around these parts." Litha bluffed.

"What's the group called?" The second asked.

"The Litha fan club. Want an autograph?" With that, she tripped one of the identities and slapped the other.

The Identity she slapped wrapped his face around her hand and began to form over her as the other shuffled back from the trip.

"Aw. ew. Ew. EEEEW!" Litha cried. Violently shaking herself in attempt to get them off her. "GEEEEET OFF!" She half screamed, half sang. In a shrill note that should never be repeated.

The pitch of the music caused the Identities to jerk back, as Identity nanites were disturbed by certain pitches of sound.

Litha quickly used this moment to apprehend both of them, by tying them up with a large aux cord.

The two looked at each other for a moment. The first teleported out from the cord above Litha to slap her down while the other prepared to burst out from the cord.

Trying the same cheep move again.. Litha immediately sang that awful, and shril note, while ducking down to brace for impact..

The teleporting Identity teleported out of sight immediately while the other tensed in a spasming cloud of nanites, rapidly shooting off bits of energy in annoyance toward her singing.

"I. I WILL SUUUURVIE~" She continued, quickly catching on to its effects. Litha dodged the energy balls and slapped the identity hard across the... Well. What ever part of it body that was.. "NOW GOOOOO. WALK OUT THE DOOOR..JUST TURN AROUND NOW. CUZ' YOUR NOT WELCOME ANYMORE~" The singing madwoman then looked around to see where the other one had gone.  

(The Identity doesn't have a face, considering it's a cloud of nanites X{D)

A spike of hardened nanites shot upward from underneath Litha, planning to split her. Stiper's voice was heard across the hall in a brief "WOW!"

"HEEEY HEEEEEEY. whoooah!" Litha tumbled over to the floor, in a vain attempt to stay away from her people of death. During this moment she noticed that a part of her dress has been torn around the edges. The silky fabric loosing its lustrous shine. "You. Cheeky. Little. FIENDS!"

The spike rushed after her as Stiper ran over, extending her arm out to Litha. The cloud-formed Identity re-solidified before firing again toward her.

Jumping up to her feet, the first thing she did was bock the blows with a series of little discs she fired out. Then sand trickled down to reform a familiar shape. Litha's aux cord was reincarnated into a nasty looking whip. In which the woman used to crack a blow at the identity while he was still solid.

As she was forming the whip, the Identity was preparing. With enough reaction time, he quickly shifted aside as a large block shot out from his face to slam into her. with Stiper diving down to stall the spike in the ground still coming toward Litha.

Litha's whip wouldn't be enough to stop either of those. Panic clouded her head and made her actions even more sloppy than they already where. Out of all the things she could have done, the identity tried creating a protective shield to hide behind.

Stiper pressed against the spike but more Identities were now appearing. "You're both trespassing," One stated.

"Well, your trespassing my personal space, what's that say about you?" Litha called. The temptation to ditch Stiper was gnawing at her from the insides. ''What we need. Is an escape.'' Quickly dropping the shield and nabbing the lamp-woman, Litha formed a spotlight in the blink of an eye. Turning it on, it's dazzling white light was something to behold.. away. from the actual spotlight. And it ended up blinding the entire group so Litha could bolt down the hall with Stiper. "Quick! We need something to slow them down!"

(wait would this even work)

(Identities don't have eyes sensative to light but they'd be distracted for a second or two.)

(Yep. It wouldn't work xD)

"U-um..." Stiper flooded the area behind them with nanites. "That... might do something.  Where do we go?"

"Well, does the security room have speakers?!" Litha panted between breaths.

"I- maybe?" She would have shrugged if they weren't rushing about. An Identity appeared in front of them, colliding with the two as they rushed.

The collision knocked the wind out of the poor girl's lungs. And all she could manage was a brief wheeze as they came to a full halt.

Stiper slid across the floor as the Identity quickly formed around to the right,standing back up as he looked over the two. "What are you two running fo-" He was cut off when the barrier behind broke open.

Litha almost jumped outta her skin, and quickly scrambled to her feet again. "GOOD GRACIOUS. WE NEED TO GOOO. I don't know how to fight them!"

"Go go go!" Stiper took Litha's hand, running off again up a stairway.

Running as fast as her legs could carry her, Litha was not about to be taken by a band of ruffians. "Where is the control room!?!"

As they arrived in another hall, a door on the end of it seemed to glow for a moment, as if indicating importance.

"Wha?" Coming to an abrupt halt, the woman turned heel and changed course for the door. Thinking the glow was coming from computer monitors on the other side.

(hooba XD)

(secretly wanted to do that.)

(YOU DARE INVOKE THE POWER OF HOOBA!?)

(I DARE SAY YEP)

In a flowing mist next to her, the faceless man followed after as they neared. "So, how are things?"

Stiper jerked a bit as he appeared, but continued to the door regardless.

"Mm. Wishing I had a fan. Maybe then I could blow you away." Litha retorted. Not entirely sure why he was following. With a good shove from behind, Litha launched Stiper to the door. Shortly following behind.

The glow faded as they entered the door. It was in fact a security room, though there may have been others. File cabinets, drawers with flashdries, computers, and computer screens were about the darkened room.

The first thing Litha did was bolt the door by moving any sort of junk in front of it. Chairs, and a file cabinet was slowly pushed over in hopes to barricade the door shut. "Ugh. FHEW!" She sighed, trying to catch her breath.

"Why didn't you just seal it with some kind of construct?" The faceless man asked, scratching his faceless face as Stiper immediately started going through the screen recordings.

Litha snorted. "By now you should have realized that I have a very limited knowledge of the uses of my own physical abilities." She retorted. Chewing her lip. 'How many more excuses do I have here??' She thought.

"I... was that a self-insult?" He asked.

Rolling her eyes. She quickly busied herself with something to do, and was soon at the side of Stiper. "So.." Litha mumbled, studying the screens.

"All these are just footage of the area.  Maybe there's a file with something?  Like in the file cabinets?" She informed.

Turning on her heal, she went to check one of the file cabinets. "So, are those people still following us?" She asked, trying to give Stiper something to do.

The hooded Identity stuck her head out the door for a moment. "I don't... think so.  There are energy signatures everywhere though."

None of the cabinet documents were labeled except for one called "Nero".

Snagging the document, the girl gently pulled it out and scanned the page for anything useful.

An image was found. It appeared underground, a cave with some kind of grave lit by a single golden flower atop it. The name was too blurry to see, but the backside read "Lakebed".

"Hmm. Hey. Lampie, Do you know what this is talking about?" Litha asked, handing the picture to Stiper.

Stiper looked it over a bit. "No... but there's a lake in the park."

"Well, unless we have a bigger lead to work off of. I.. er. we. should head there next." She said quickly.

"Okay, but we need to get out first..." She opened the door a bit. "It... looks clear..."

Litha snorted, "Oh ..they'll be back." She said with certainty. "Lets go before they come around again.." The identity huffed, pulling to door open and sneaking out. Which wasn't very effective because her high heels clicked along the hard floors.

"What ab-" Stiper stopped, noticing that the faceless man was gone. "Never mind..." she chased after. It didn't take long for the Identities to locate them as they went down to the lower floor. They called out at them from across the hall, weapons molding from their arms.

Litha's arm molded into a t shirt cannon, and fired several Tees at her enemies faces before turning heel. Taking off quickly before they could get the shirts off their faces.

They were soon out of the hospital, a blast of energy following them as they exited.

"Eek!" Litha shrieked, instinctively dodging the ball to save her own hide.

The doors slammed shut as they landed on the ground. "WE'RE ALIVE!" Stiper screamed before covering her mouth, causing a brief burst on the back of her head.

Litha sighed a breath of relief, "We're.. going to meet other things like that. Aren't we?"

"Uh... I mean, those were the other students I think... W-we're going to the lake now?"

"uuuuuuuugh. Yes. To the lake." Litha cheered halfheartedly. "Les' go." She sighed, looking around for the easiest way there.

Stiper began running down the street toward the lake.

Litha took off after her, and eventually caught up. Trailing close behind her lamp friend.

They eventually arrived at the park, and to the left, a lake, surrounded by trees. "It looks... normal," Stiper walked closer to the water.

"Mm. So did the hospital." LItha said, rubbing her temples. "We need to find a flower.. Is there a cemetery here?"

"I don't think so..." She looked over the water. "Maybe... we swim?"

The identity paused as she peered into the water to take a look for herself. "..." She then took a sit down and peeled off her shoes and tied her hair up. "Only one way to find out." With that she stuck her head under for a brief peek.

The water was a bit murky but clear enough to see various underwater plants and some fish about. Bubbles were coming from the base in a constant flow.

Jumping into the water, Litha swam down to take a closer look at the bubble source.

Stiper soon followed after. There was a crack below, with some kind of light source.

With a few brief strokes through the water, Litha dove further down into the water to see what was up.

Stiper pointed at the light, slowly flattening as she made her way through the crack.

Litha sucked up her doubt, and tried to copy Stiper. Slowly but surely flattening down.

The two slowly made their way into a very dark cave. A downward path was seen to the left where the water wasn't flowing.

Paddling along, Litha formed a little spotlight to shine into the cave, to make at least the immediate surroundings clear. Then tooka turn left to check out the cave.

The ground became slick as they went down. It became steep and far below was a body of water.

"Whooa." Litha clinged to the nearest wall as she waddled down the stoney tunnel.

Stiper dug her hand into the ground, slowly sliding toward the water's area. They saw a long waterfall below.

"Where even is all this water even coming from.." Litha muttered, sliding down the slope. Quite sodden with water at this point.

"Maybe it's magic?" Stiper shrugged. She looked over it. "Do we jump?"

The identity girl looked down to the body of water. "At this point. I am so done with all of this." Litha sassed. Voice full of attitude. "My hair is wet. My shoes are gone.. I'm tired of running. Lets hunt this stupid flower ''DOWN." ''She said, determinedly taking the first leap into the water.

Stiper followed after. Only some seconds later, they found that there was a stone platform ahead.

Litha touched the stone's face, and felt around to see if there was a door or something like that.

Stiper immediately jumped atop the platform. There was a cave tunnel ahead.

Copying Stiper, She hopped up and peered down the cave. Shining her spotlight into it before she actually set foot in its structure.

(Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand now I gotta go.  >__< Sorry)

(Chill man. Its no prob)

It was long, but a light at the end could be seen.

Litha's pace quickened, stumbling around a bit as she hurriedly ran for the light.. That was presumably the end of the tunnel.

Flowers lined the hall until they arrived at a gravestone, a single coffin atop it. The gave held a figure of a woman on the front, though no distinctions of what kind of woman could be seen. Markings were on her face, but no name was seen.

"...Just like the picture. This must be the place." She breathed. Scooting closer to the coffin and running a hand down its wooden cover.

"Do we open it?" Stiper crouched, looking around the edges. "There was a name in the picture right?"

Litha frowned. "Firstly, I really don't want to know if there's a dead body in there. Secondly. Yes, but it said 'Lakebed.' What does that have to do with anything?"

"No, not that," Stiper shook her head. "There was writing on the grave on the picture, it was blurry," She rubbed her hand over the tombstone but nothing appeared.

Litha squinted at the tombstone. Poking at the face of the stone. "I'm not seeing anything.."

"... Do... we-" Stiper shook her head. "I don't wanna open it... uh..." she walked around the grave. "There... maybe the flower?" She shrugged.

"Hnnn. Fine." She ighed. With one big hefty pull, Litha tugged the stone free.

It dropped to the ground, instantly cracking in half with the flower falling to the side. Stiper jumped back with a large "EEP!", clinging to the walls.

Inside was a woman, tall. She was human, in her mid-forties most-likely, with long dirty blonde hair. She did not look decayed in the slightest.

Litha gasped at what she found. "Oh my. Who is she?" She asked to no one in particular. Remaining a safe distance from the coffin.

The light in the room began to fade away. Litha could feel something clutching at her side, before noticing it was a very worried Stiper.

The young identity girl jumped in surprise, trying to shake off whatever latched on her. "GETITOFFGETITOFFGGETITOFF!"

"Dun' wanna," Stiper replied, still clinging as the lights went out entirely. It was completely dark for around ten seconds before the two found themselves in some kind of hay field.

(Tomorrowland. @_@)

"W-what?" Litha stopped. Quite confused. She finally stopped panicking for a second, and looked down at whatever was clinging to her skirt.

(https://youtu.be/DYoCRG7ishg?t=58s)

Stiper fell back, letting go now. A brown-haired human, male, tall, maybe in his thirties, was seen in the far distance.

(HAN SOLO INTENSIFIES)

"Wait. Look! In the distance there. C'mon hun, lets go check it out." Litha said, poking Stiper.

Stiper nodded, quickly following her toward the man. He seemed to look toward the two as they neared.

"Excuse me, dear. Do you know where we are?" Litha asked, picking hay out of her hair.

"You know I don't like open areas like this, Jeuls," He responded... wait, he wasn't talking to them it seemed.

Footsteps and then a voice came from behind. "I don't like finding out that I've been lied to in a relationship."

It was the woman from the grave, though... younger, in her mid-thirties.

"Oh....?" Litha gasped lightly. Realizing everything going on. She stuck her hand out to see if she could touch the woman.

The woman was quite tangible, but quite stiff to the touch, as if unmovable by normal measures.

"I didn't cheat on you, is that what you think?"

"Well I don't know what to think now."

"Can you just tell me what's going on?"

"You're not human," The woman snapped. "I don't mean figuratively, I mean literally."

The Identity's ears perked up as she listened in on the drama unfolding.

"Well I can literally hold out my hand and show you my blood," The man replied with a huff, unfolding his sleeve.

"Tell me to my face that you aren't the being?  That 'Nero' people talk about," The woman demanded.

"... I..."

"Knew it.  That's how the sentence ends," She peered. "...I can't say I'm not just a bit flattered, getting to be the one who dated the monster from space."

"So I'm a monster?" He peered back. "Why?  Name a thing I've ever done to hurt anyone."

"You lied."

"...Alright then, my turn.  Tell me that you wouldn't turn on me like everyone else who finds me out.  Tell me that you wouldn't keep egging me on to fix everyone's problems."

"That's a pretty stupid thing to say," She clenched her hands into fists. "You can't use that on me; I never lied to y-"

"Ye'hes you have," He half-laughed this out, though it certainly wasn't a happy laugh. "I knew you were out doing other things when you couldn't make it to the show.  I'm not gonna say what, you already know what they were."

"Why didn't you say something then?"

"Because I didn't want to lose you!" They could all see it now, a sudden glow of red forming around the human-like body before it faded away. "Every time I've tried to just make things a normal life, somehow the people have gotten to me... You were the first time I tried to actually have a relationship, and I was as honest as I could be.  I didn't lie about anything I told you.  I did grow up in Moratis, and I was adopted.  I didn't tell you more because anyone could find out I did, and get to you."

"...So, what are you going to do now that I know?"

"...I just..." He nearly collapsed. "I just want to keep things as they are.  I'm sorry... I am... can I make this work?"

"... We can try."

"..Nero. As in.. Nero's Drama? From earlier?" Litha murmured. Continuing to watch the scene playout.

The scene suddenly changed. They could feel the weaves brushing against them as the area transformed to that of the man on a telephone inside an apartment. "Do you know when she left? ... Did she say why? ... Yes, I do have an idea why.  I just... Thank you for your time.  No, I don't... want her new address..." He hung up the phone.

Litha wobbled around, trying to keep her balance from the sudden change. But, she remained quiet. Getting invested into the story.

The man remained silent, looking to the ground. As a long sigh slowly exhaled from him, his skin was fading to a deep grey as a booming was sounding outward, faint, but growing.

Startled, Litha looked around to see what the heck was going on. "Eh? Stiper?"

Stiper shook her head, clinging to Litha once more as the booming got closer. The world blew open in front of them as the two found themselves back at the theater. On the ground was a binded script.

Heart racing, Litha had to take some deep breaths to calm down a bit. "That.. That was.." She didn't even bother to finish, Instead. She managed to pry Stiper off and walk over to pick up the script. With the binder thing in her grasp, she flipped the booklet open.

<p style="font-weight:normal;">'' After the Demi-God saved the people, new threats appeared. Again and again he was forced to act, and each time, they became more fearful of him. He retreated into the life he desired, but it was too late. They attacked. The entire country went after him. He went into hiding, to let them continue as themselves. He pretended to be someone else, but again something happened to force him to act. The Demi-god went nearly mad.''

<p style="font-weight:normal;">''He searched for a way to see a solution. He trained his power until he could travel forward in time to see how things would change. He went back, and tried every solution he thought possible, but every option that left his hands without wrong-doings, they resulted in the self-destruction of the population, partially through fear of him.''

<p style="font-weight:normal;">''The Demi-god lights up the city, then the country, then the planet. He is tired of it, and he decides that he is no longer going to suffer for them, and no longer will they suffer from themselves. In a flash, he became the only resident of the planet.'' <p style="font-weight:normal;">Litha gasped, covering her mouth with her hand. Almost wanting to drop the book and burn it. But. If what is said was true. This has already happened. Mere history. None the less, Litha was still unnerved. <p style="font-weight:normal;">"... He... kil-..." Stiper fell silent as the room went dark.

<p style="font-weight:normal;">The identity girl let out a small 'EEP!' Fumbling around before finally creating her spotlight to look around. <p style="font-weight:normal;">A figure walked into view, a faint grey glow coming off from him. "Congratulations.  You won.  I, am Nero." <p style="font-weight:normal;">Litha stood there, wide-eyed. "You're.. Nero?' She managed to say smoothly. She wanted to back away but it seemed as if her legs were frozen to the floor.

<p style="font-weight:normal;">"I assume you have further questions." <p style="font-weight:normal;">She cleared her throat. "...For starters. Was the story true?" <p style="font-weight:normal;">"Entirely." <p style="font-weight:normal;">"How long ago was.. this? Also, To clarify..where did all of that happen?"
