Sharena pouts at the fact that a giant kirby destroyed the crossroads city, before entering a room, now completely frozen over, with several spikes of ice protruding from the floor, walls and ceiling.

How bizzare... didn't expect these people to care so much about ice!

The 'figure' manages to spot a gap within the constant patrols of the robots, darting into a nearby room, Only finding that it contained a longwinded staircase upwards.

Oh for the love of askr-

The figure scales the stairs, grumbling the entire way, until they eventually reach the top of the staircase

♫ Whisperless Void - DELTATRAVELER OST ♫

Upon entering the room at the top of the staircase, things seemed to spread out, what the figure suspected would simply be a small weapons closet, turned out to be an expansive void of a room, stretching out for miles, with tv screens floating, suspended by seemingly nothing. every few seconds, the screens would flash with different events from different time periods across the worlds. The figure stands, watching the screens for a while, now no longer shrouded in darkness

...So this is how they've been 'observing the events of the chaos zone' or whatever that weirdo said-

Tedd then looked at the screens, before a sly grin appeared on his face

Doesn't seem like they've cut off magic here either-

Tedd then materializes his trusty candle stick out of nowhere, and began to destroy the screens one by one.

Marth leaves the book he was reading on the table as he moves away from the library. A passing Dierdre notices the book and picks it up, Upon contact with the mage, the book begins to glow as she begins reading it.

The Brickell strategy meeting have shuffled over to near the beta trio + reggae and FEHta shadow, listening in on the conversation, limstella however, begins looking directly at beta, having heard mentions of one 'Prototedd'


Despite lacking pockets, the cabbage pult of bloom and doom receive the signal

Peony's face turns to one of annoyance at L refering to her friend as a weirdo, before putting on her best customer service smile

Peony.exe:Oh it's no worries! Glad I could help! And uh, let me check with my friend

Peony.exe turns in the direction that Omega and beastman left

Peony.exe:HEY GUYS! YOU WANNA GO TO THE CRASH BIN? THERE MIGHT BE SOME BIG VIRUSES TO TRAIN AGAINST!

Downtime on the satellite was rare, with the constant traffic of traders and explorers arriving and leaving the small space station, so to have absolutely no one on the satellite besides those who made it their home was unheard of, but honestly? It's what Dr Redac, the resident scientist, preferred, less visitors meant she could finally stop and think for half a second and focus on her research, less noise from the outside traffic meant that she could concentrate, the quiet was comforting to her.

But, as soon as she began to return to her research, the loud sound of static emitted from her computer, the loud noise continuously rung out, spreading to the rest of her technology instantaneously, Redac ran outside of her makeshift lab, encountering the rest of the stations inhabitants as she headed to the main area of the station, coming out of the speaker system came more noises of static,but burried within, something only Redac noticed, was that within the garbled noises, patterns of beeps could be faintly heard.

Morse code.

After 39 minutes exactly, the static stopped, and so did the faint beeps. The inhabitants of the satellite were confused, but simply defaulted to the easiest answer to the 'event', simply space radiation from a nearby star must have messed with the systems. But Redac wasn't convinced, as soon as the static cut off, Redac scuttled back to her laboratory, and began to scan through her computer for any possible causes of what happened, assuming that some kind of malicious computer bug had caused it.

Instead, what she found was a file containing the components of an AI, which was strange, because Redac didn't know how to code.

how strange... I'm supposing you must have been behind all the code and the static?

Redac stated at the files, expecting some kind of response.

ah, right, can't really communicate! No need to fear, I'll craft something up for you! I'm sure I have a design for a biorobot lying around here..



Compared to this time two years ago, the satellite is much busier, the main trading square bustling with activity from traders and explorers buying and selling goods, in the corner of the square, Infront of her now much less makeshift lab, Dr Redac stood,trying to put a sign above the entrance, well, she's not exactly doing the work, rather she's trying to guide her assistant who's putting up the sign due to being significantly taller.

So...remind me again why you want this sign up?

Why it's simple! There's too many people who frequent this place and try and barge into the lab thinking we're just another shop! We're scientists NT! I'm not just going to give random tourists anything that you risked your metal to find!

...can't argue with that, don't want another confrontation like last time-

Napalm T finally mounted the sign, which essentially boiled down to "KEEP OUT" in several different languages, He rolled back, looking up at the sign alongside his creator

...People are absolutely going to ignore the sign and barge in right?

Oh absolutely.

Limstella just kinda, stares as everything with the end of the raid goes down, before going back to knitting, sitting ontop of the floating eldritch cannon they were using, soon joined by Brickell, the plants minus zombies, and Cloud T, trying to plan the next course of action, unbeknownst to each of them,


Someone is approaching.

Blast ways up his options, before throwing out another blast chain, smart thinking there buddy

---

Dust and quint begin to sort of, shuffle sneak into the room, with dust looking at the body with a look of...uncomfortability,star on the other hand looks around, trying to figure out what that sound was

Marth looks up from the book he's reading, as if hearing someone talking, he looks around at the rest of the heroes within the library, before shrugging and going back to his book, Must have been from the hallway or something. strategy meeting he guesses

Ark is promptly booted in the face by a scowling gyro T, because clearly dodge calculations aren't in effect.


Yeaaa no, not dealing with this.

Gyro T jumps backwards, taking flight as the truck zooms off, doing whatever, He leans into his broken receiver


Acorn? i've lost the truck, they had some weirdo in the back and i'm not taking any chances with how much damage i've taken.

Limstella turns their attention to curse head. The eldritch cannon dissapears into thin air, and an old, worn book appears in Limstellas hands, casting morph valflame, causing a triple stat down before the attack to both lapley and curse head due to both LnD and Forces of nature being active!

Back in business,blast turns around to spot the junk golem coming to life, He pulls his bazooka out of thin air, and spins it, preparing to fire!



Hearing Freeze and hornet, Gyro T begins to back out towards the area he broke into the van, being prepared to fly away at the last possible moment,



Dust, Star and Quint all quickly scan the surrounding battlefield, Dust shushing the two as he notices the glowing police officer

ALRIGHT, BACK TO THIS.



Sharena continues to nod and listen, but a feeling of... freezing clings in the air, and only grows colder as the group journeys deeper, Sharena frowns a little, put presses on.

So crossroads city.... is it kind of like Askr in that regard? just more... open?

Thea finally impales the phantom robot directly in the centre of the core, impaling it with Maltet, causing ice spikes to erupt from the ground. The rooms decorations fade out, revealing a empty, blank room. Thea pulls the spear out from the core. She then continues through the next door, Tightly gripping maltet in her hands

The giant meeting room was filled with the sounds of clashing arguments, and talking as Steve floated into the room, the giant broadsword seemingly vanishes as he enters the room. The remnants of the conversation die out as Steve sits down on his much smaller chair, compared to the much grander chairs of the other members of the council, With the most grandiose and dramatic chair being reserved for the current highest member of the council, Icosahedrannihilator, the D20 making up their head idly spinning slowly as the rest of the council quietens down.

Icosahedrannihilator : My esteemed council members, I deeply apologise for the sudden call for a meeting!

Zenith : ...it's been a few months-

Icos shoots zenith a glare for a split second, which causes zenith to freeze, They then turn back to the rest of the council, speaking cheerfully.

Icos : As i was saying, first i would like to congratulate you all on being such a wonderful council! i know that together we can work together to bring complete order to the every world we encounter! In the name of our glorious lord!

Icos pauses, motioning for the rest of the council to clap at their statement, before all being promptly silence by Icos.

Icos : and now, i would like to unveil our newest plan! Now we will be able to deal with those who oppose us efficiently! and we have the power needed to use it!

♫ Giga size - Deltarune ♫

Icos vanishes, and reappears with a giant machine that sits in the centre of the dice council meeting room, it looks complex, high tech and archaic at the same time, with a glass pod in the centre. The large machine looms over the rest of the council. Vier quickly darts a look of confusion at Steve, who responds with a similar look. The two then look over at zenith.

Icos : As you all know, realms such as the chaos zone, have proven too chaotic for us to be able to handle in terms of keeping the peace of time! even as we try and jump and stop different events, we have only managed to capture one of the offenders! As such, we shall use the reality warping powers of the one they call the summoner to tear this world apart! and rebuild it as a world of order! we shall finally bring peace and law to this chaotic land!

The rest of the dice council give out a thunderous applause. Steve and Vier share looks of concern, before the two dart over to zenith, who looks completely confused, and angry and Icos' plan.

Icos : Now! bring in the summoner! We need their power to activate this machine!

A beam of light appears in the centre next to the machine. a figure appears in the centre, that promptly slumps to the ground, Icos floats down to the figure, and suddenly, it's dead silent.

Icos :... Can somebody here tell me why the important Prisoner has been replaced with this thing?

Icos inspects the fake, covered by the cloak of the original summoner, all they see is two sown on button green eyes, and a stiched smile. Icos gets up.

Icos :Find him.

The council instantly disperses.

A legion of security robots fly through the halls of the cell blocks, unbeknownst to them. A figure lays hiding in a darker corridor of the prison

... Seems like they found the decoy-

Limstella feels, absolutely nothing still, a magical triangle isn't going to affect them, but for the sake of the fight, the status is still in effect, if I can make my own move,i would like to invoke eldritch cannon which should double in hits due to light and dark being active

If I, for some reason, can't pick my move, I shall be swapping into cloud T

Limstella goes to respond to trio, taking the tea cup, before this foul little cretin appears, causing everything to be clown town,


Limstella looks at Lapley with the same mild disgust one would look at a sock laying on the floor that you forgot to put in the washing machine. Before downing the drink, as the spirits of light and dark are released

@ZX-EXE : XP is given to the user by dealing damage or support moves (dealing damage is more important at the moment though for you), with every point of damage dealt being equivalent to 1 XP, then, when you are either knocked out or the raid ends, if you have enough XP to level up, you will, well, level up.

Zenny on the other hand, is gained/lost through numerous actions during a raid, no matter what, you get your total zenny earnt at the end of the raid, where you can spend it in the shop, the shop, alongside the weapons library and character sheets, are linked at the bottom of the master post, Zenny rules can also be found on page 17 of this thread, on post 14

You are the 'trio' the small ones spoke of in fear, while I did not see you at full strength during the fight, i wish to follow you, your strength will prove vital in my task.


At the same time, using all three coupons, Cloud T goes the Quartets pop up shop, who had just finished the training/ level ups for Sargent and Reggae. while the exchange between the recolours is silent, Gyro takes the right amount of zenny with the coupons to give two skill slots

Cloud T then goes towards the theta, and buys both a kalinka link and an auto link for 2 crown coins.

the one who reawakens looks around within the far off voids of space, and without saying anything, vanishes, getting to work.

Brickell looks down at the strange device, at a loss for words for being considered the "leader" of the rag-tag group of survivors she saw before her, Brickell's thoughts were soon interrupted by both trio offering her a beverage, and tiny whispering to her about him.

destroyed a different omniverse you say? we best be wary then, even if he's on our side now and with your kill switch, he might try and pull something...

Brickell then glances towards Limstella, who is moving towards trio with a surprising amount of speed

...I do not wish to sow distrust between the group, but I feel like there are some we should keep an eye on to make sure they don't attempt to betray us

Still! this device should prove to be useful at pointing us in the right direction if trouble arises! i suggest we keep it somewhere safe, but accessible by all

Meanwhile, Bloom and doom watch as the newly dubbed 'defensel' appears, while not encountering Shieldy proper at any point, they seem happy at the returning ally, a funky tune plays as they seem to groove at Defensel's arrival, Cloud T, still recovering from being Axe'd, looks over with mild confusion.

---

Limstella approaches trio.

---

Somewhere out there, far away, something, or rather, someone reawakens.

Seeing no reason to take this remotely seriously after that,limstella sits and knits while waiting to tag back in

As the axe strikes cloud man, the electric energy surrounding him disperses,cloud T goes flying backwards with a sizable gash in his chest, but upon seeing konngara's rebound strike, he can't help but cackle at Tyrs suprise as Cloud T lands on the floor with a thud, allowing Limstella to run in, swiftly setting up a spirits of light and dark
