Saitonia's Retribution Arc 2: Episode 12: Purple Cloak Commotion

(Nearly 30 minutes after the group's departure, only ending up with Sai, Aino, the [b]annihilator[/b] twins, [b]Maviko[/b], and [b]Aguiro[/b] on this little quest. They have arrived to one of the most isolated temples not only in [b]Venturos[/b], but the entirety of [b]Saitranovia[/b]. The Temple of [b]Seádiura[/b]. A decently small, dark green, dark red, and indigo hexagonal-shaped temple with 6 towers surrounding the main sanctum. Named after an archdivine of the same name, it's an ancient ground, used for performing rituals to acquire powerful incarnations, mainly [b]Enygma[/b] forms.) [b]Maviko:[/b] Here we are, the Temple of [b]Seádiura[/b]. A nearly primordial ground constructed by the archdivine; [b]Seádiura[/b]. She created this temple for acquiring more "advanced" incarnations. I said nearly because this temple isn't really that old; it's about 4,000 years old. Oldest temple on this planet dates back a few 100,000 years. [b]Saitonia:[/b] A little off-topic but ok. [b]Maviko:[/b] Around this time, past me would be in her, well, my little sanctuary, investigating the Purple Cloaks. *pointing to the main sanctum* You see that little shrine up there in the middle? That's the main sanctum, where the rituals are performed. *Saff looks up at the sky with a worried expression, as if they're being watched, or pursued in some way.* [b]Ainotias:[/b] Nice little synopsis, but let's get to getting the form. [b]Maviko:[/b] Ah, yes yes. *The group has arrived to the sanctum, and it's fairly wide enough for the ritual to possibly succeed. Inside, there's an unlit, circular symbol in the middle, surrounded by 6 pillars. Sai carefully walks to the circle.* [b]Ainotias:[/b] Soooo, what's the process? *[b]Saitonia:[/b] *leans over and touches the symbol* I guess I have to sit in this symbol. [b]Aguiro:[/b] [b]Maviko[/b]. [b]Maviko:[/b] The symbol has to be illuminated first. *As [b]Maviko[/b] was about to summon an orb, she quickly stops, contemplating on if it'll interfere with the ritual that's specifically for Sai, preventing a possible risk.* [b]Aguiro:[/b] *concerned look towards [b]Maviko[/b]* Something wrong? [b]Maviko:[/b] Saitonia, use your energy to illuminate the circle. [b]Saitonia:[/b] Alright then. *Sai summons some energy in his left hand, and places it on this symbol, creating a trail and eventually lighting it up. This also causes the sanctum interior to open, gathering the attention of the others.* [b]Saitonia:[/b] She didn't say what kind of summoning circle. Oh yes, Standard [b]Enygma[/b] Stage 3. [b]Maviko:[/b] Whether it's [b]watcher[/b]-forged or not, it'll work. *Sai transforms into Standard [b]Enygma[/b] Form Stage 3, where 3 overlapping auras surround Sai's body. He then walks inside the circle, and sits down, in attempts to manifest 8 orbs. But one problem is attempting to interfere with the ritual; a ship with the colors of purple, gray, black, and midnight blue is aerial, over the temple, catching the attention of the others, putting them on high alert.* [b]Sage:[/b] Ummmm, who's in that ship up there and what do they want? [b]Maviko:[/b] Oh no. They come from my timeline! From what I remember, they're from future Saitonia's private army. They're trying to prevent your Saitonia from acquiring this form, trying to ensure that he doesn't gain any certain powers possibly. [b]Ainotias:[/b] "Certain powers", and I'm guessing this Mage form is one of them. [b]Saffyre:[/b] *transforms into Fated [b]Enygma[/b]* Seems they want to travel back and dismantle our Sai and anyone associated with him. He'll still end up getting the form, regardless of how much they'll repeat this attempt. *Like her twin sister, Sage also transforms into the Fated [b]Enygma[/b], while Aino transforms into [b]Dragonus Enygma[/b]. From the ship, it's underbelly opens up, revealing several [b]eraser[/b] minions donned in light-armored, tactical suits with the same colors as the ship, accompanied by 4 large, clawed brutes, similar appearance to [b]Terranova[/b]'s; heavy armor, and spikes coming from their elbows, knees, and spikes protruding from their head, except these brutes are [b]erasers[/b], donned in the same colors as the ship as well, and their spikes are glowing light purple. Combined, the minions and the brutes jump all the way down, a good nearly 100-meter drop as they all land safely.* [b]Maviko:[/b] You're lucky to have me in this. *summons 5 blue orbs to guard Sai from the intruders* *All of the minions transform into Standard [b]Enygma[/b] Stage 2 while the brutes transform into Stage 3.* __________________________________________ [b][u][FIGHT SEQUENCE][/u][/b] *Sai is unable to fend for himself, with [b]Maviko[/b] having to protect him while he completes the ritual. It's just her, Aino, the [b]annihilator[/b] twins, and [b]Aguiro[/b].* *The minions rush first, Aino luckily catching one by a blast from the dragon head of the [b]Dragonus Enygma[/b]. She then sees 2 minions coming in and fires energy dragons at them, hitting one, but the other teleports out of the way, reappearing even closer to Aino, only to be met with a volley of blade protrusions from the ground by Saff, who then unleashes a barrage of polearm attacks before thrusting it into the minion's heart, bl[b]00[/b]d spills as the minion drops lifeless.* *Another minions tries to run past and interfere with Sai's ritual, but Sage grabs them by the neck using her claw and throws them down, luckily the ground is barely dented as it's quite rigid and resilient enough to take that kind of impact. She then summons her signature 2-handed sword and lands a powerful slash down onto the minion's stomach, creating a huge gash. The same minion tries to teleport, but the slash attack has drained so much energy, giving Sage an easy execution on the wounded minion.* *[b]Aguiro[/b] dodges claw strikes from another minion, then fires back with attacks from his mechanical harpoon which doesn't do all that much, as the minion teleports behind him and performs a jumping side kick that [b]Aguiro[/b] attempts to guard, but the force knocks him down, but he quickly springs back to his feet. As he's about to jump back into battle, he hears someone big jump from behind him, causing him to turn around, revealing a brute, who slams their claws onto the ground, slightly cracking the ground and causing a medium shockwave, but [b]Aguiro[/b] luckily evades. [b]Maviko[/b] assists [b]Aguiro[/b] by firing 3 beams simultaneously from 3 of her orbs and to that same brute, sending them flying.* *[b]Maviko[/b] looks from the reflection of an orb to see that a minion has teleported extremely close to Sai, and is about to land a jumping kick on him, but [b]Maviko[/b] is quick enough to fire a beam from an orb on the minion's right, which successfully hits as the minion gets sent down close to [b]Maviko[/b] actually, opening up a chance to finish that minion off by summoning a azure blue energy circle with a unique symbol right under where the minion lies, and it seems to drain their energy. She then takes control of the orb to the minion's left now, and fires down a burning blue beam that finally kills them.* [b]Maviko:[/b] Wow. *disappointed sigh* Stage 2 [b]Enygma[/b] and you're still that weak? Well past me wasn't here so it's must've been harder for Saitonia's friends. *She turns to see that Sai has entered his subconscious state, and manifested the 8 orbs, as they now enter his body. One minion witnesses this and yells out: "Focus on Saitonia!" The same minion then hurriedly lunges at Sai, only to get caught by Saff, who teleports right in front of the minion, intensely driving her polearm into the minion's heart, canceling out their [b]Enygma[/b] form.* *Saff then quickly peers above to see that 2 minions and 2 brutes are rushing in, so with the dying minion still on her polearm, she swoops in on the 4 and delivers a polearm combo on one minion, teleports out the way of an incoming brute attack to counterattack by unleashing a volley of blades from the ground that stops and deals some major damage. Saff then presses onto the ground with her right hand that elevates the height of the blades, dealing some more damage. She then finishes off a minion as Aino assists Saff and finishes off the brute by decapitation with her signature [b]Obliterax[/b] sword.* *The last minion manages to get close to Sai, and as they're about to claw at him, they are blown back from an energy burst caused by Sai while he's still sitting, completely unmoved. The Mage [b]Enygma[/b] form instantly flashes on Sai before he returns to Standard Stage 3, only to return to base form.* [b]Maviko:[/b] *notices that Sai has activated the Mage [b]Enygma[/b] and widely lip smiles* He's done it.... *Sage easily executes 2 brutes with her two-handed sword. Everyone else then looks at the last brute, who is kneeling, seemingly scheming something that will catch the group off guard. As [b]Aguiro[/b] runs towards them, ready to finish them off with his harpoon, the brute suddenly stands straight up, as masses of energy swarms them, managing to cover a part of the temple, then the brute unleashes a transformation that makes [b]Aguiro[/b] stop in his tracks; the Beast/Titan [b]Enygma[/b], doubling their size, standing around 14 feet tall, and appearing in a bulkier, armored [b]Enygma[/b] suit.* [b]Ainotias:[/b] *cautiously mutters* Oh crap... *[b]Maviko[/b] turns towards Sai to see that he is lying flat on his back, motionless.* [b]Maviko:[/b] *lowly* Damn...*to the group* Team, Sai's ritual is a success, but he'll be unconscious for a minute. That brute just transformed into the Beast [b]Enygma[/b], and it's melee output is tremendous. Let's see if we can hold it off at the least. [b][i]*Continuing Below*[/i][/b]

  • [b][i]*Continued Below*[/i][/b] *The Beast [b]Enygma[/b] brute throws a massive, purple energy ball towards the group, but Saff blocks with a white and blue energy wall exclusive to Fated [b]Enygma[/b]. Luckily the Fated [b]Enygma[/b] has enough energy to resist the damage coming from the energy ball as it eventually explodes on her wall. The brute then gets hit with a volley of blades from the ground, courtesy of Sage, and while it deals some damage, the brute just stands there, unscathed, not showing the littlest signs of damage. The brute then menacingly glares to their right, where Sage is, and slowly turns towards her.* [b]Aguiro:[/b] We have to lure that brute out the sanctum! Don't want it damaging the temple any further. [b]Maviko:[/b] [b]Aguiro[/b] stay back, let us lure it. *Aino and Saff teleport just outside the sanctum and fires numerous energy blasts, trying to lure the brute instead of weakening them, and it's working, as the brute takes 4 steps, then teleports in milliseconds, reappearing in the air, above Aino and the [b]annihilator[/b] twins, but Aino teleports at the brute's level and jams a claw into the brute's face, then spins them around and throws them into the ground just outside the temple, creating a large crater as a result.* *As the [b]annihilator[/b] twins, [b]Maviko[/b], and [b]Aguiro[/b] regroup, the brute is back on it's feet, bl[b]00[/b]d trickling from it's face. It then unleashes a piercing shriek as it unleashes a massive burst of energy that cracks the ground. As it gets into a feral, savage position, ready to pounce, it's suddenly covered by an aura not caused by the brute, with the aura draining it's energy and returning it to base form, then gets impaled through the back by a large, purple energy spike, killing it instantly. The brute drops lifeless to the ground, revealing Sai in the newly-acquired Mage [b]Enygma[/b], decked out in a fantasy-like, enchanting robe as [b]Maviko's[/b] reference list of various [b]Enygma[/b] forms have shown. Sai conjures several small spinning energy balls for a few seconds before making them vanish completely, in a way to showcase the arcane form.* ________________________________ [b](FIGHT SEQUENCE OVER)[/b] *Sai returns to normal, as well as Aino and the [b]annihilator[/b] twins. They look up and see that the ship has long fled the scenery. * [b]Aguiro:[/b] *relieved* Saved us at the perfect moment. [b]Saffyre:[/b] I want to try it out. [b]Maviko:[/b] Go for it, twin. Be wary, the form is very complex, and strenuous, in comparison to other [b]Enygma[/b] forms. [b]Saitonia:[/b] Alright then sis, twins...wait, [b]Maviko[/b], am I able to transfer the form to them, or they have to do the ritual? [b]Maviko:[/b] *as she quickly pulls out her tablet to look at the reference list of [b]Enygma[/b] forms* Well you're in luck, it also says under the Mage [b]Enygma[/b] that "the form can be transferred to another [b]Arckyvine[/b], excluding [b]watchers[/b] and [b]sensitors[/b], if that [b]Arckyvine[/b] is in Mage [b]Enygma[/b]". *Sai transforms back into the Mage [b]Enygma[/b], then slowly walks over to Aino and the [b]annihilator[/b] twins. He transfers the form first to Aino, then to Saff, then finally Sage, as the 3 are now donned in the form, difference is the minor detailing corresponding with the color of their eyes and skin undertone, with Aino having minor red details while the [b]annihilator[/b] twins have minor white details. As [b]Maviko[/b] and [b]Aguiro[/b] are captivated, observing the Mage [b]Enygma[/b] forms on all 4, Aino and the [b]annihilator[/b] twins observe their appearance.* [b]Ainotias:[/b] *bit amazed* Wow. It's like a wizard--a sorcerer. Wasn't this form called something else in the ancient times? [b]Magioa[/b], I believe. [b]Sage:[/b] Yeah, it was called [b]Magioa[/b]. Saff and I heard about this form, I think we've seen it very vaguely though. [b]Saitonia:[/b] This form is also supposedly one of the most difficult and tiresome forms to use, so we have to put practice into perfecting use, or if you want to pull a [b]Vandren[/b] and practice in the battlefield, or the city, as he mentioned before. *A moment of silence before Saff replies.* [b]Saffyre:[/b] Ehhh, we can do both. [b]Saitonia:[/b] *returns to base form as the others follow* I'll call the others. *pulling out his cator* _______________________ (Later, at the scene of that vandalized, minor SFT arena, currently investigated by several police units, S.S., freelance and noblemen hunters, who are analyzing any form of evidence on whom the culprits are. Many meters away, within a parking lot, lies a black, gray, and golden armored vehicle with a large, purple cover covering it. A door is slid open, revealing a high-ranked Purple Cloaks dignitary revealed by his longer purple cloak with small magenta detailing, and his unique, cyberpunk overcoat, donned in dark blue, gold, and red colors. He's watching on the investigation, but he's interrupted by a buzzing from his earpiece, so he taps into it to answer.) [b]???:[/b] *from the earpiece* Boss, we're "encroaching" on the SIU headquarters. [b]Purple Cloaks Boss:[/b] *straightforward* Good. Taunt them a little. Send them the message that they will be taken down soon, humiliated for their wicked history. Then we'll protest against the S.S. I know for sure they have an unforgivable history somewhere. To think the CMO were just almost...just almost there, nearly dismantled the S.S. last year. [b]???:[/b] *from the earpiece, this time with a repulsive tone* To add on, boss, [b]Liomage[/b]'s vice-ruler [b]Divenos[/b] was almost taken out by someone working for a future government, but those vexing S.S. captured him. Hell, they most likely killed him. Anything new from [b]Cyokona[/b] yet? [b]Purple Cloaks Boss:[/b] Nope. After that botched extortion, he said he'll have a new mission for us. [b]Cyokona[/b] is....one odd superhumanoid, don't even know if he is. The only physical embodiment we've seen is that supercomputer in Facility RL0X in that bunker under the [b]Paladuras[/b] wastelands. [b]???:[/b] Sooo, [b]Cyokona[/b] is some supercomputer? Agh, we've arrived outside the SIU headquarters. I'll notify this "visit". *turns off earpiece* *The P.C. Boss cuts off his earpiece, then continues to observe the vandalized SFT arena.* __________________________________________ (The SIU headquarters, all the way down in solitary confinement, [b]Crisha[/b] is leaning on the door, chatting with [b]Kaxixi[/b].) [b]Kaxixi:[/b] What is this about future Saitonia? Have you got anything new on him? [b]Crisha:[/b] We're...we're working more on that. I'm telling you surely that he has an unyielding grip on time-traveling. There are reports that some lone hunters haven't made it back to their original timelines as they were trying to get their own peek at future Saitonia's rule over [b]Saitranovia[/b]. -blam!- knows what he's done to them? Only the [b]Arckyve[/b]. *Footsteps heard coming down the stairs gets the attention of the 2, revealing [b]Drakar[/b] holding an SMG in his right hand and a forged energy blade in his left.* [b]Drakar:[/b] [b]Crisha[/b]! We got some miserable propagandists outside our HQ. *throws the blade to [b]Crisha[/b] as she skillfully catches it* [b]Crisha:[/b] [b]Kaxixi[/b], I'll be back! __________________________________________ ([b]Crisha[/b] and [b]Drakar[/b] arrive outside to see their fellow unit members and the Director, and even more surprising, nearly the entirety of the SIU HQ, with some random members on the turrets above. They appear to be in an intense quarrel with none other than the Purple Cloaks, with incomprehensible insults hurling back-and-forth at each sides.) [b]Purple Cloaks Member:[/b] *taunting manner* Heeeyyy, where's your director?! [b]Purple Cloaks Member 2:[/b] You really think we're just gonna let what happened to [b]Hidoko Caius[/b] back in '87 slide?! We know damn well you killed him! "Private hitman" my [b]a[/b]ss! An exemplary revolutionary; his words and directorship skills were leading us to a more "acceptable" society, but noooooo, you had to maintain your orthodox, conformist views, and silence him. Well guess what? We're silencing you! *The Director suddenly emerges to the front, standing boldly in front of the Purple Cloaks.* [b]Purple Cloaks Member:[/b] Ahhh, there she is; Director [b]Vitania Taxtisako[/b]. [b]The Director:[/b] *monotonous but serious tone* You all are very brave, but more so foolish, and you know where people with those 2 traits unfortunately end up. If I were you, I'd actually go and read accurate sources about [b]Caius[/b] and not the fabricated deceptions that your vile leaders spread throughout. *sigh* I've seen what your organization really is. This "virtuous" shtick is just a mask you put on for what you really want to achieve; subjugation of [b]obliterators[/b]. *Another Purple Cloaks member approaches the Director, decked out in the standard purple cloak that members must wear, a black face mask with purple details covering her mouth and nose. A small, carbon fiber, black and purple jacket with over a black, half-tucked dress shirt with a purple undershirt that's also half-tucked. Slim-fitted, glossy black slacks, and small, dark gray combat boots. But what stands out is her unique, dark gray eyepatch with a faint red glow.* [b]Eyepatched P.C. Member:[/b] Might as well consider yourself being brave and foolish as well, Director. *[b]Crisha[/b] emerges to the front, standing to the Director's left as she looks down at the member with the eyepatch.* [b][u](To be continued.....)[/u][/b] ___________________________________ [b][u]END:[/u][/b] Ran out of characters, damn...but least I got this episode done.
