(A hideout on [b]Zutaki[/b] Drive in [b]Venturos[/b], some time has passed with Sai and the 2 [b]Maviko[/b]s analyzing what they've discovered on the Saitorealm so far.) [b]Maviko (Present):[/b] Sooo, future me, I know your memory is pretty hazy, but I'm sure there's something...vital you remember. [b]Maviko:[/b] *deep breath* Okay.....Well, the upmost I can think of is his warping of time, so much that it caused various realities to emerge within ours. [b]Saitonia:[/b] Not just the Utopian Reality? [b]Maviko:[/b] Nope. Other realities like the Liminal, the Amplified, [b]Arky[/b]topia, where everyone has divine power, and [b]Exomor[/b]topia, where everyone has demonic power. There's also one more called Reality X. [b]Saitonia:[/b] That one sounds scary. [b]Maviko:[/b] It is. Also called the Negative Reality, and statistically the most unstable. A hollow, black and white universe where everyone is a bl[i]oo[/i]d-lusting sadist whose goals are "becoming the [b]Arckyve[/b]" or ruling the omniverse, sourced from various metaphysicians and cosmologists. Y'know, in a way, those 2 goals interconnect. [b]Saitonia:[/b] Wait, everything on Reality X is black and white? [b]Maviko:[/b] There's every other color, they're just overshadowed by the negative energy of Reality X. If anything or anyone from that reality comes into this, or any other reality, it'll violently destabilize, and eventually cause an omniversal implosion, but there are [b]Enygma[/b] forms that can counter it, like Cosmic or Ancient [b]Enygma[/b]. *relieving sigh* Love [b]Chronovoux[/b]'s studies. [b]Saitonia:[/b] I could be hearing about this a millennium ago. [b]Maviko (Present):[/b] I guess destiny was telling you that you weren't ready. _________________ [b][u]*Cliche--blam!- opening theme plays*[/u][/b] _________________ (Later, on the case of proving Amanda's innocence, there is a brief view of a police officer entering the [b]Superiaus Aegiea[/b] restaurant, the manager leading them to the surveillance room. A surveillance operator searches for the footage of the restaurant while the cyber attack and hostage crisis was happening at [b]Arckyve[/b] University, ensuring that Amanda was present, and not the one responsible for the incident.) ___________________ (Next afternoon, at a bar in east [b]Paladuras[/b], the top SIU agents are sitting at a round table, playing some form of traditional [b]Terranovian[/b] card game.) [b]Segoma:[/b] Here's the inspection card. Okay guys, someone's revealing their combo this round. *She spins an arrow on a brown and gray card. The arrow lands closest to [b]Crisha[/b].* [b]Sagon:[/b] Agh, [b]Crish[/b]. Gotta show your hand. [b]Crisha:[/b] *sighs, then lowly, under her breath* F[b]u[/b]ck. *She sets her 8 cards on the table, revealing the symbols of 4 black reapers and 4 red necromancers. [b]Arko[/b] and [b]Drakar[/b] slowly move back, in fear of a superstition behind that combo.* [b]Crisha:[/b] [b]Arko, Drakar[/b], what are we backing away for? [b]Arko:[/b] You don't know? That's the Cursed Combo of [b]Roulisair[/b]. [b]Crisha:[/b] [b]Arko[/b], that's just some BS belief. [b]Arko:[/b] Nooope. 9 instances where the person who had that exact combo all died horrific deaths. [b]Drakar:[/b] It's real, [b]Crisha[/b]. If you're not careful, you'll be the 10th. [b]Segoma:[/b] Whether it's real or not, let's not scare her like this. [b]Crisha:[/b] [b]Segoma[/b], I'm fine. *confident snicker* This supposed "Cursed Combo" superstition is just backed up by mere coincidences. Maybe out of that 9, some of those have had sworn enemies who finally caught up to them. [b]Sagon:[/b] Ironic cause we got opposition as well; [b]CYOKONA[/b], the Purks, even this organization led by that future version of that [b]eraser[/b] that we be blue-lighting to our HQ. [b]Crisha:[/b] It'll take more than a card game curse and 3 radical factions to take me, let alone the entire SIU down. *takes a smaller card from a different stack in the middle of the table, flipping it face up* I'll equip 2000 points to one of my red necromancers to take out your gray knight, [b]Arko[/b]. ____________________ (At the group safehouse with the twins, [b]annihilator[/b] twins, Cat, Kav, and Alexa. The 7 are all slouched up on the couches, bored by advertisements playing on Channel Starseek.) [b]Saitonia:[/b] That [b]Maviko[/b]. She's such a geek, but damn, her knowledge on time travel tech and realities is useful. [b]Cathera:[/b] The stuff I heard on other realities is vague, y'know? I never thought the levels of instability some carry, especially this Reality X. There are [b]Enygma[/b] forms that pertain to those kinds of threats, correct? [b]Saitonia:[/b] Yep. Cosmic [b]Enygma[/b] and Ancient [b]Enygma[/b] were the examples. [b]Alexa:[/b] This [b]Maviko[/b] is very geeky, but her dorkiness in her passion, it's quite cute. It's very cute when people indulge in their passions. [b]Saffyre:[/b] Could've told that to [b]Terranova[/b] when he was slaughtering millions and warping time. [b]Alexa:[/b] Oof. Yeah that's a good one. *The advertisements end, beginning to broadcast news footage, causing the 7 to sit up and focus on the TV.* [b]Ainotias:[/b] News is on. *The female news anchor gives commentary as the headline reads: [b]Vaisallian[/b] King Roman returns to [b]Saitranovia[/b]; issues to challenge more SFT fighters to battle. A view from an aerial vehicle shows a large [b]Vaisallian[/b] ship landing next to the coliseum. Roman, his top loyalists, and soldiers accompanied by armored wild dogs are then seen exiting the ship. Another camera shows a shot of a horde of civilians on the other side of the coliseum, as if they got the news early and showed up, perhaps to taunt and annoy Roman.* [b]Saitonia:[/b] *getting anxious* Roman challenging more people to fights?! Be my guest. [b]Sage:[/b] Damn Sai, you really wanna get your hands on him. [b]Saitonia:[/b] Keep in mind, he and his army attacked me minutes after I was celebrating the death of [b]Terranova[/b]. He wants payback for losing some war several years ago, and as historical that collaboration event will be, it was just a distraction; a ploy to keep us blind to their sabotaging of this mainland. There's major proof he was responsible for the damages to one of the minor SFT arenas and the assault on [b]Ignitus[/b]. If [b]Liomage[/b] or anyone else in the government can't send him packing, I will, and he'll be meeting [b]Terranova[/b]. _____________________ (Same time, at the hospital with [b]Virol[/b], Cas, and [b]Shiani[/b], all 3 in the room where [b]Eicha[/b] is held at. The 4 are also looking up at the TV displaying the news.) [b]Casaphne:[/b] Wow. He's back for more? I don't want to sound prejudice, but that's the typical stubborn, relentless mentality of a [b]Vaisallian[/b]. *[b]Eicha[/b] lets out painful, choppy laughter, that is quickly stopped by a gasp from an intense, stabbing sensation in her lungs.* [b]Shiani:[/b] *patting [b]Eicha[/b]'s shoulder* Let's suppress it now. Don't want to risk any more damages. You've been held here for almost a year now, and we're hoping to the [b]Arckyve[/b] that you get out here sooner, even if you're permanently gonna be attached to a hover pod. [b]Eicha:[/b] Yaaaaaaa. Fiiiine by meeee..... [b]Virol:[/b] *annoyed* Damn, can that despotic -blam!- just crawl back in his castle and continue "deeding" off to his queen? [b]Shiani:[/b] Unfortunately, there's probably no nerve in any of the 5 lobes that signal him to screw off, just nerves that enable him to be annoyingly stubborn. [b]Virol:[/b] You're definitely right, [b]Shiani[/b]. _________________ (A little bit later, a bounty hunting couple has arrived in their townhouse home in west [b]Dyphinix[/b], the male hunter locking the door behind the 2. The female hunter sighs as she sits on the dark blue couch, taking out her cator, reading the list of completed objectives and amount of [b]zepiks[/b] rewarded.) *The male hunter is a Caucasian-[b]Terranovian[/b] with a light blue undertone to his skin, green eyes and medium, dark red hair with bangs covering his forehead, reaching to his nose. Wearing a shiny, dark red, long hooded coat over slim, gray and dark blue, tactical armored suit, and long, dark red combat boots. *The female hunter is also Caucasian-[b]Terranovian[/b]. She has a darker blue undertone to her skin, blue eyes, and medium, dark brown hair with bangs also covering her forehead, and a ponytail styled to look like flower pellets. Matching her boyfriend, but her long, hooded coat is blue, over a skin-tight, light blue and white, armored suit, blue tactical boots and a blue knee pad on the right knee.* [b]Male Bounty Hunter:[/b] Jeez, we've been out for 11 hours, really been putting in the work to afford enough [b]zepiks[/b] to get out of here. [b]Female Bounty Hunter:[/b] Mhmp. I'm thinking [b]Eranoas, Venturos[/b]. Beautiful countryside, lovely attractions, rather chill, unlike [b]Regixisco[/b], or anywhere in [b]Dyphinix[/b]; every few minutes there's gunblast, energy blasts, crashes, yelling, police sirens. Who in the hell actually wants to live like that? [b]Male Bounty Hunter:[/b] Degenerates, like them [b]Nyterunners[/b] a while back. *The couple then turns towards each other, the male giving a smirk, but the female's expression slowly changes to horror, looking at something behind the male. He asks: "You ok?" before turning to whatever has the female terrified; looking at a note written by the Deadnight Murderess, saying the following: [i]"Already killed one of your RBA bounty hunters. It'd be best to leave...while you still can...if you still can." Signed: Deadnight Murderess[/i].* [b][i]*Continuing Below*[/i][/b]
