Let's get one thing straight, I am NOT going to be keeping this logs up to date with what happens on a day to day basis. Now, Icee want's me to write these logs for "historical purposes", but I know that's just a fancy way of saying he wants to know how I botch everything on a day to day basis. Now then, I think that's enough for a starter, right?

I put down the crimson notebook I'm using as a journal as I turn eastward, cold wind whipping at my unprotected face. Normally I can't really feel temperature changes, but for some reason this Arceus forsaken spire of stone is the only place in this world that can make me feel cold.

"Captain!" I turn to the walkie talkie on my portable desk as the audio turns on, with the Lieutenant in charge of operations at the base started freaking out.

"What is it Roy?" This wasn't the first time he had completely lost it over something minimal.

"We finally breached the stone, and it took our anti reverse gear to do it! This is a major breakthrough, because this entire thing is hollowed out!"

"I'll be down in a tad, I wanna see this for myself." I grab my Transjet, a jet black board that can change from a simple black skateboard to a jet black hoverboard. It was sleek and fast, with little cyan blue circles on the bottom. After the hoverboard, it can turn into a small transport jet capable of over 200 MPH. It, like the rest, was pure black but had silver lining the wings and accents that I put on the vehicle. I put it in jet mode then crawl in, due to it being rather small. Once inside I power it up then begin my descent to the bottom of the spire.

*Some time later*

"So, you weren't kidding….." I look around as Roy and the rest of his squad climb down behind me.

"OK men! Samples only, we don't want to risk angering whatever this thing is." I turn at the 'angering it' bit of his sentence.

"Wait, anger it? How do you anger a stone pillar?"

"Well sir, this place has a heartbeat. The sensors picked it up, but it's faint. We believe it's asleep, so let's try not to wake it up."

"Readings on the charts for any power level?"

"Yes sir, and that's the reason we don't want to wake it. It could rival you in power if enraged."

"So, it's like Star?"

"Yes, and it even has the same frequency as her when enraged."

"That's….. Not good." I summon a small orb of electricity as a test, and like I guessed, it disappeared immediately.

"Sir? Did you absorb the energy from th-" I could no longer hear Roy as a noise started pulsing through my head. I turn my head to see physical waves of energy coming from an alcove nearby.

"Roy, bring the men back up. This might get fun." He nods, though I seem to have cut him off from giving orders to his squad. After a few minutes they were all out and I walked towards the alcove.

"And you came crawling." I spin around, searching for the voice's source.

"Sir!" That would be Roy.

"What is it Roy? In case you can't tell, I'm a tad busy!"

"Sir, it woke up and sealed off the entrance we created! It's… It's MOVING! Everybody, run!" The radio cut off there as an electric burst hit it, short circuiting it.

"So, do you know what's in here? Can you save your friends? Or will me and my Colossi finally be set free?" I turn back to my target as the voice starts laughing. Eventually I reach a wall that had several notches in it. "Ah, so you found my door! But, of course I just can't let you in. First you must solve this riddle, and only then can you enter. When I tell you it, the notches will gain answers, and you must choose one. Ready? Here we go:"

It's greater than God

Worse than the Devil

Rich need it

And the poor have it.

If you eat it you will die.

Now riddle me this and the answer is?

Before my eyes the notches acquired all sorts of phrases and words, but one stuck out to me; The word "Nothing". I press it with confidence, and an audible groan was heard throughout the whole spire.

"Very well, enter." I walk inside to see a gem surrounded by black energy, at times looking like plants and at others like Pokemon.

"So, this is your hidey-hole? Very… Showy."

"Shadow! I told you to stay silent!" I continue screaming at the entity in my head while on the outside keeping my cool. I start walking forward as the pulsing returned.

"No! You stay away from that!" I keep walking forward, despite the voice screaming in my head. Once I get within arms reach of the gem, I reach my hand out and yank it away from the small gravity well. It instantly merges with my body while the spire starts shaking. I envision the little hill the team agreed on as our evac point, and just let my body go. Once my feet hit the ground, my eyes snap open to see the giant snowy stone spire shifting back into its crater. All around me my team and some tourists were staring at it in shock.

"Captain! What did you do to set it back?" I turn to see Roy dashing towards me with papers in hand, and I got a glimpse of a bandage under his torn shirt.

"It had a power source inside of its center, and once I took it the whole spire started shaking. I just now got back here."

"Well, it looks like you killed it. The Spire's heartbeat disappeared completely!" He opened his mouth to say more, but his Comm. Unit went off just then.

"Lieutenant Roy! The Spire's readings are coming from your direction!" He looked right at me as I grin broadly, a very mischievous grin that said all he needed.

"No worry private, it's just the captain."

"What? How can it be the captain? And which one, because I just saw Agent Ice heading in your direction." My eyes twinkle as I see a white fedora cresting the hill as Icee walks over to us.

"Well than Icee, seems you finally caught up!" His face remained impassive, but his eyes twinkled at my joke. Truly, he could've gotten here as fast as I can.

"Well, I did have to take along your groups transport." (NOTE: Agent Ice (Icee) Talks with his hands using the Unown alphabet.) I grin lightheartedly at him, me being one of the few who could understand him once he starts ranting (AKA creating hand signals quickly).

"So, your name got pulled from the hat for today?" He nods and I start chuckling as Shadow fumes in my head as I haven't let him stretch his legs lately.

"Shadow! Shut the hell up or I'll slap you! We both know Icee can hear you!" He shuts up soon after, because it was getting downright vulgar.

Today was hectic, to say the least. But, it wasn't fruitless, as I now have an upper hand on Icee. The gem I collected in the Spire's heart chamber actually gave me something new to do. It's a sort of power….. thing, but it doesn't impact my old powers, instead it gave me a new one. I used to be able to use Ice based attacks to make stuff, but now I can create ice crystal items instantly, and they don't shatter until I tell them to do so. The whole ordeal was fun, in a twisted way. I believe it's some sort of focus for my powers from before I got it. Let's hope my next log isn't this….. Insane.

Ryex: Well hello everybody! My name is Ryex Anuri, and I have a new story for ya! Now then, how about some party music?

Kara: No.

Ryex: Aww… Well screw you, I'm doing it either way! *Opens Pandora and chooses a station*

Kara: *Shuts off music*

Ryex: *Turns on music once more*

Kara: Screw it.

Ryex: Yes! I win!

Kara: *Blows up computer playing music*

Ryex: Hey! That was my computer!

Kara: I don't care.

Umbrae: Ryex, just shut up. OK friend?

Ryex: Fine…..

Everyone but Ryex: See ya everyone!

Ryex: How's this for shutting up?! *Sends an energy shockwave against everyone in the row ahead of him*

Everyone but Ryex: Goddamnit Ryex!
