Oh My Goddess! - Valkyrie's Eternity
Volume III
Act X
The rusted red landscape, sky as morbid rubicon to match, kept flying by without end. This as a Fairy Princess had flown far enough, and fast enough, to pass around a normal world, dozens of times now. The cruelty of a Plane without end, without center. Yet in her rising mania of fear, kept fresh by memory of what she witnessed, and all seemingly being forced into her waking eyes, even as she flew, kept her course as panic driven, to a result that seemed the only way to escape this demiplane.
'I must get out! I must warn them! Someone! Anyone!'
And she kept flying. She didn't sense anything impeding here. She didn't sense anything at all, that could help her either. At some point, she wasn't realizing if she could feel at all. It was not like she needed to worry of sustenance, and so many endless days alone, had begotten rest in spades. But... when was all that? To her now, this seemed the eternity at hand, starting to get a rising sense that this was the final punishment, she had been expecting all along, for what she did in helping Celestine.
And the crimson kept flowing by. The hope sinking away. Not even a flick or glimmer to break this mania of solitude, zipping by.
All slipping by.
Like her needed time to warn of what she saw. Something of what she saw, she at one point wondered if 'that' had happened to them instead, as well.
Morgan swore she remembered them passing through the Gate successfully. But seeing 'did' see at the Gate, Drout and Puri shorn asunder. From that, imagination amok 'saw' the same instead of Keiichi and Belldandy. The 'sight' of a crying beyond all measure goddess, easily imagined as her own had... has been, finally ripped her from her manic flight, smacking into the iron colored plain below, snapping out! "I need to get out of here! Will anything help me please!"
"Hellruu?" ...came a strange 'watery' tone. Morgan blinked past her very welled up tears, and saw past them, a strange pair before her. Clearer sight past rubbed eyes, details of a couple 'not' of imagination to be expected. One, a watery nymph, shaped as if a humanoid-esc octopus, femininely so shaped of enough recognizable detail. Of the apparent mate in 'somehow' hand, a roiling flame. Solidly manly by enough same 'details', all of it was if ever aflame of napalm that was more than sentient and alive.
"Wha?" Morgan openly 'admitted'. This as the male firebomb asked simply, if so done with a tone of embers flickering on a torch. "Can you assist us. We are truly lost in this barren land."
The Fairy Princess eyed between the two, regathering her broken wits, as the... female, quipped in, her own tone aided as if of frothing waves on a shore. "Ouwr pwortall cwame uwuup shworrt. Cwan ywoo diwectwuss twoo thwaa Jwudggemwentt Gwuate?"
Morgan just sat there for a moment. Something between what she saw, what her mind 'saw', and her prior mania, not letting her connect all the dots as nominal. Ever such a disconcerting moment it becomes, as eventually, after the two quite apparent lovers elemental, (quite) glance at each other, the aflame male waves a flaming hand across Morgan's facade. "Pardon? Are thy awake?" ...done just enough, until the hand 'clips' her nose, and promptly nips a SHARP burn at it.
Morgan, after her manic bounce of pain and recovery, turns back to her accompaniment. "Sorry! Sorry! I was... just was..." ...this she stops, having to look at the couple before her. "Pardon my asking, that... well... really... you two?"
It was a response the elemental duo had encountered before. The male remarking... "Pardon, but we came across each other when I was caught in a snowstorm once, and ended up near a heated pool of water, as mere embers."
Morgan quickly heard the female grasp nominal language tone (as the Fairy Princess knew of it,) as the water spirit offers... "I was a water element of that very pool, heated by forces beyond my ken, keeping me from an icy fate." ...this as she talked of serene water a flow. This as a clear love is shown between their glances between each other. Morgan heard more from the water sprite. "Because I was kept alive as so, I tried my best to use my aided heat, to keep this ember alive, through the storm."
"So I see before me." Morgan alluded to the present obvious. The roiling male relenting. "Only with help. A passing traveler in armor happenstanced to the heated pool, that same eve, seeking bare shelter from the same ferocity of weather. After a time garnering heat, he realized my nature and used me to build a fire. Only after I regained elemental strength in so doing, did this traveler realize my formal nature. I then offered thanks to this shimmer beside me."
Morgan heard more, regaining hope in so hearing. Of the aqua lithe... "I realized soon thereafter to appreciate whom this fiery soul was."
"I learned that my fire had no fear of being quenched within her."
"I love how my essence boils with his own, within me."
"Never is my fire ever so soothed in turn, each time." ...both banter as only lovers truly do.
Morgan was sure blanching from it all. "Perhaps I am hearing too much." ...this both elements realize to a knowing... blush? (Wow.)
Morgan then hears to her amazement, from the roaring soft flame... "We only realized what this word 'love' is, because the traveler described such to us, as he was trying to apparently remember the same, for himself. A lost soul, helping us find ours, that small flicker of time."
Morgan sat, and found her hope restored, just as it was needed, by the tale of the stranger that guided unbiddenly, as the two realized their sentient souls 'could' be more than their mere base elements. That any sentience had a right, given the privilege of chance. And not even a passing band of Cultists of the Dragon could interfere, of one night that on attempt to harness both elementals for mere magical essence, as their mortal friend assisted of the expert blade and skill. The same of a flame that nearly gave his very life, for a beloved water.
Morgan was truly brought back, as to cusp it all, the tale turns to... "Because of him, we learned of this Gate, where true love was tested with no fail. Even this despite all alarm to not come here."
Morgan almost interjected, remembering, as the liquid Sprite complimented her flame beloved prior... "We know we love each other. It is as elemental as we are. We only seek to confirm this, for each other. All else beyond, come what may."
"This I cannot allow." ...causing both elementals to look. "Be what may?!" ...the flame relented to his iconic nature. (The comical looking billowing flames sure attested. Not sure of the water lass teardropped or not.)
"You would succeed, if not for my warning at hand. The Gate is compromised by an external power. So... corrupting..." ...she couldn't help but seethe out in abject fear. The water spirit asking in turn. "But how do we confirm our love, where others of our kind refrain for us for?"
Morgan smirked... "Because a Gate should not be needed. And not..." ...this as a monolithic aura, overcomes them suddenly. The flame... "...at this time." ... "What be such nature of 'that' kind of... hate?" ...a water shivered in kind.
"One we need to warn the gods about. The artifact is of their make, they need to know. I require your portal spell to escape this place to warn, with me, you are most welcome to come."
"The portal is expended." ...the aqua informs. Morgan... "I only need the spell construct itself. I can reverse its empowerment to escape this place. I had such assistance before, when a fallen god alluded to me the ability, when I was trapped here before, when..." ...this she trails off, a lost lover in mind, dissuaded of, this as the flame literally writes the spell runes in mid air, with his powers aflame.
"Where must we go, by course?" ...water remarks. Morgan. "The last place I know of, where personages that I speak of, reside openly."
"Where be this?" the flame asked.
Morgan told, and the fact living elementals were uncertain to nominal eye there, nevermind from there, Morgan had to ask for names finally, and begot for 'names', the sound of a swift flowing river, and a strong tone of a campfire.
"River and Flame, for my sake alone then." Morgan quipped, and begot... "We have true names now! Whwee!"
"Such suits you 'River'." ...the two embrace a 'bit' too fresh. (To nay of harm to each other, either. Lotta boil and steam though.)
Morgan just blanches... "Let's just get outta here."
The Screech made adjunct of the Fifth Dimensional construct Leylines... The Wail rose another horrid octave.
-!ZARCHK!-
The Testing Mandala back in place, a second try, upon haloed Temple Tarikihongan ground, a far more controlled Singularity Pearl beam this time, on a fine morning, it's peace shattered once again, upon Outright Command.
As if a near repeat of the initial Test day, the Family (Morisato clan and much more now,) watch from past trying to keep digested, their breakfast mutual, as even goddesses and gods present, save one ever so Mighty, are nervous enough to cause such a worry, with sight of the beam attempting the God's Sigil, once more.
Imladris is quite focused, making little motions, as his mind is the one, doing all the detailed work. The initial Sigil pattern, now growing better in detail.
"That's how you do it Beloved!" ...only one voice clarioned out, only one beloved needed for such an outburst, many around smirking at the newly betrothed General. Such Imladris did need, as even with the infusion of all his newfound returned might of godly...
...he still was failing.
"Hmm..." ...teeny-Hild of note that prodded for this, on unwanted appearance by the others, at a moment of revelry most festive. (A CEO's usual forte.) Such noted as well soon, after Almighty, her, and Frigurina were seeing, that dismay overcomes the others, as soon after realizing, Imladris simply stops the beam.
"Hey?! Huh?" Keiichi blurted. Urd... "Not yet." ... "Darn." ...Skuld sighed out.
"Nay." Tyr of Imladris denoted simply, as he zipped the Singularity Pearl back, from verily orbital on high, into right of plain hand. The nominal everyday work garb seemingly out of place for this order act of magnitude. Not said of as much angst either, to be certain. His face a good bit contorted in though, for a moment. This before hearing crunching shoes on frosted grass again. This as he looks up and smiles openly at his eternal love of choice.
And so she, putting a gloved hand on his right shoulder, (the rest of her, nominally garbed,) her left then soon clenching at it, making Imladris, as Lind starts... "Beloved."
"Aye?" ...he be waiting for it.
A quick double tap of her fingers on his shoulder, before plainly commenting, head side cocked... "Can ye tell me something simple?"
"Being?"
The 'loving' return voice... "!- OFWHY YOU ARE SUCH A CELESTIAL TURD? -!" ..shattering the sound barrier for half the globe.
Oh yeah, ears held there. "DEaRy woW!" ...Skuld attesting, as she and Takano just fall over into each other. Ears had to clear out for a bit, as even Hild shook at her head, Frig smacking at her own ears. (You need to ask about Al?)
Immy didn't reciprocate, since showing weakness of such now, would just end up hurting. Instead he remarks, (softly, cause his ears are hurting.) "Sorry... guess I don't know myself enough yet." ...this Lind squinting her eyes. "Enough? What else there for you to know, other than I'll be kicking your celestial tuckus, across the length of River Oceanus and back, for every day, for the rest of Existence and Time?"
Immy is twitching. (Possibly.) "Er."
"Well that all ended up pooching the family farm." ...this coming from Jora, fingering at her own right ear. Sigrun commenting over. "That's not how it goes." ...this Jora eying over.
The whole Family lot, sleeping over again, after the previous night's revelry got the better of them all again. Chihiro fingering at a new doodad on her own left hand, as she quips. "I think you need to hold off on step brotherly euphemisms until... aw man! Not again already you guys!" ...as sight quickly denotes two newly betrothals engage in the same deep lock, for the... "Fourth time today, already." Suzuki blushes on seeing. Such Sora yanks his head away. "Stop staring."
"They look even happier than they ever were before." Belldandy offers of said happiness on seeing the love displayed. Keiichi just cocks an kooky eye, as Chihiro just bemoans, (sitting in Tamiya's numb lap, by the by,) "Great, two happy Zephyr Typhoons for my place of cash cow."
"Too much for us, at that." ...Hild denotes, and then hellfire teleports away in decent disgust. Frigurina sees, and arm waggles unto complains out, into the cool morning sky... "Sure! Make a scene yourself, while you were here!" ...making Almighty chuckle. (Frig: "What was that?" ... Al: "Everything and nothing.")
For the next five minutes and sixteen seconds, focus steers back to other familial matters, as dishes are plucked up for later cleaning by the Takano Brigade. (As Frig dubbed the conduct of cleaning of the Temple. By its non-job holding associates of celestial note.) For certain, more datawork by resident Intracel folks was coming as well, all the while as... "Time to get ta work folks." Chihiro lauds for the Whirlwind crew, already aptly titled. Megumi notes. "Keb and I will be by later, after morning classes."
"Maybe." Chihiro banters back, the knowing looks on both Royal road racers facades.
"We'll begin istruzione after morning duties." Eihwa speaks, Peorth also looking up in concert, over at the Triad sitting off to the side of the group, Ere and Ex both looking over with... "Yes Councilor." ...to their respective Proctors. Chrono for one, blinks a bit, as she looks over at her own Instructor, one whom still is fully embraced.
"Best three out of five later, for Uno, Urd!" Skuld challenges said elder Sister, one whom cocks an eye. "I'll only need one game for privileges today Squirt." ...making Skuld throw a small tantrum tiffy. And unexpected to her... "What, can't stand losing so much Urd?" Sentaro suddenly blurts in, to Skuld's defended blush. Urd smirks, as Troubadour 'leaps' in with... "Teams of two each for the right then! Unless you're scared." The Spirit challenges the mortal he's treating as an equal to the game, anymore. Urd sure is joining Skuld's blushing.
"Rumble-rama it is!" Rei leaps in, making Urd snicker. (Skuld still in frozen blush.)
"After chores." Takano levies in.
"And after school." Ichigo at that, ever the chaperone. (And another sister that giggles at Sentaro's 'aww'.)
All parties there involved look fidgety, before then... (All four: "After school then!" Rei: "Yay!")
"I sense more than mere viewing privileges there." Frigurina injects in, to a few placed giggles around.
"We got three bikes about ready, don't we boss? Keiichi calls over, Chihiro thumbing a proud digit back with. Keiichi then starts to head into the residence, before stopping at it... the rather embellished structure, making him teardrop again.
"Aye kith?" ...a kid-Tastic tone comments, Keiichi looking back at... "...just, trying to remember how many rooms, to get into my room again. (Was it three, or four hallway slide doors... maybe sixteen...)" ...thus a hand on mangy head for Almighty to chuckle at. And to ever eternal assistance... "I'll show you the way, Dear." ...Keiichi looking back, as hand it taken gleefully. "Oh sure, Belldandy." ...such led inside, to a located helmet, and some stolen kisses.
"Just how many rooms are on the second floor?" Frig teases Al with.
"Just HOW many kisses this time." Skuld annoys out, Sentaro teardropping closest. "Not lettin' go huh?"
Meanwhile, Isa keeps bantering with Ishara, about the impending third Valkyrie, to come. Frode scooting away from such talk, not that Ishara allows him much/any room to escape, psy-anchored dead where he started/stood. Frigurina of course, on the literal coattails. All other parties about ready it seems, to resume a sense of normalcy.
"Mmmmmmmm..." ...then comes at last, killing said normalcy of nearby minds, (again,) as faces pull a bewildered bit various, when Lind pulls away 'just' in the proper, serene way. Imladris quite content as well. Eyes softly locked in. "Nothing like proper practice."
"Aye." Lind croons, stroking at Ty's mane, at the nape.
"Those nanites got any oxygen left?" Talos teases, for Peorth to giggle with. Lind just quips in banter... "Hyperbaric training." ...which the rest blink at. Keiichi at Belldandy, even after returning to sight... "Um, is that even the right word for that?" ...such Bell giggles to. "I suspect the terminology Evolves around them, at whim." ...this Keiichi bobs a nodding head.
Chihiro, to be certain... "Ya'll done nuff, so we can get to moi to whipping yah hiney to work?" ...this Imladris pulls a face, at the snickers in his direction. "Wary to give Lind any... EEP!... not the Eye look!" ...such Lind gives a wicked icy vein, anyway. This prior to Imladris deflatedly sighing...
...and then snap changing tact. "All dandy fine. But first." ...as melons about, note the stiffened tone, worse for... "Urd. Sigrun. Chrono. Eros." ...for each named that wince, Lind looking at each now as well. This as Imladris's Command Voice, makes for at least Urd looking to Daddy, whom winces from, the mutual High Parental look, such that Urd accepts wordlessly. Chrono her version glanced to her Triad family knot, as Sigrun and Eros trade their own worried mindful.
Soon enough, all four are before Tyr, said one looking taller than nominal to them now, aura alone perchance.
"Ah..." Ex remarks, but feels a abstain 'shake' from Peorth, as at hand...
"Noted, 'all' of it is." Imladris directly states, the recent incident of note, at Net hand. Eros for his part, gulps more for Sigrun's sake, Chrono not weathering Lind's gaze well, Urd sighing in nodding only.
Imladris looks each in the guilty looking eye, before looking at... "Lind, your Apprentice." ...which a General remarks to... "Silver Wings Chrono, with me." ...of soft steel in her tone. Of that, Chrono flies off with her Master, leaving three before the God before them. This before then, a said God looks to Chihiro... "A moment prior to, Boss."
"Oh yeah, s-sure... sure..." Chihiro more than jittery aware. This before Tyr flash teleports his gathered, upon into high Earth orbit.
"Judgment is harsh." Almighty states, looking over at Ishara and Frode, both whom teardrop from inflected memory of such times. Isa is no less cowed in memory. Makes for others of goddess mode, wilt towards attached halves reflexively. Jora looks over and gulps. "I fear for what my turn will be like, be."
"Fear. Light word to apply." Frode puts. Jora really feels like making herself into a rock, to hide within.
Her Acts were beginning to affect further adjuncts, soon even travel mediums of her Enemies. Across a Crime of the so called 'Existence', she kept Calling her unwitting victims, to the Corruption of Target. Her Catalyst...
"Your handling of the offending situation needs some work." Lind puts to Chrono. This said Silver Wing nods. "Yes Master."
"We'll both also need work on restoration magic. Since it 'was' all that saved their lives up there, on the Asset. That much I can commend you for." ...this Chrono blinking. An unexpected compliment.
"Your backbone I will not, at this time. Even against a Norn." ...and an expected admonishment. The Silver Wing looks to her Platinum Wing. "I thought fear had its place."
"Not when it costs those that can be avoided of any innocent harm. No matter how powerful the foe."
Chrono blinks and sighs. "So... I should have stood up Urd then."
Their flight path stops, above the majestic, if cold, Honshu landscape they flew above, broken puffy clouds about, framing them. The day was turning grayer, as Lind looks back with similar note... "A Valkyrie knows wisdom in fear, but cannot be ruled by it in critical moments. Even ones from friends." ...and with a look to Chrono's learning eyes, Lind asserts... "Even in such moments that have no right to turn critical. Even in moments that you can never prepare for. All save for the moment you 'can' control of yourself, within."
Chrono felt cool awe, from being taught. Lind for sure, felt glad, she could share in the wellspring of her Beloved's wisdom, even if formulated from her own mind and words, for certain.
"Yes Master." ...was all Chrono mustered out. Lind noted, and then imparted. "And so, you and I, must learn of Trust, so you may speak your mind more clearly."
Chrono blinks, Lind postured with arms behind her jumpsuited back, admitting. "I need to know to learn, un to trust you." ...this the General looking downward at angle, back at the Temple, even some seventy plus kilometers off now. (Not a light pace, they were both making.) "This, such I needed to learn once. Of such harsh lessons, ones I admit I myself am still learning from."
"Yeah." Chrono admitted, Lind noting that much, for honesty's sake. However, to accentuate the atmosphere at hand, nevermind within it... "What was that Silver Wings?"
Chrono snap straightening... "Yeah, Platinum Wings Lind!!" ...this the General nods to accept. Lind continues from this, as she made Chrono fly at attention. "Also, between sparring and teaching sessions, you will find a cat to pet, at least sixteen times a day."
"Awww!"
"What was that Silver Wings?"
"Awww, Platinum Wings Lind!"
They continued on from there, eventually rounding back to 'base camp', not too long after.
From far above, the sight of the pearl blue Earth, framed them, with all gorgeous silent majesty.
In close however, and not as silent... "Not cool, you three."
"Yeah yeah, Coz..." Urd sighed out, before 'urking' on sight of eye from Imladris, that it was 'not' as so.
"My apologies for Sigrun's actions." ...this Eros offers, Sigrun blushing rather uncomfortably. Imladris cocking his head back in turn. "And I see my Apprentice's voice, is now your own, Commander." ...this Eros stutter blathers, to Sigrun stating clearly. "Nay! Such he does not." ...said back over to Eros whom returns to pensive mode. Any chuckle Imladris however would usually have, is 'not' present here. Not even under the gaze he gives all three. A terse sense of disappointment overcomes them. Even Urd, such of which, she is unsure how to handle this. Her nominal behavior, being held back for the Cousin she honestly respected.
It's given credence, as Imladris remarks to the main point. "Trust. It is the iconic Bond that all things you take for enjoyed granted, is at damaged hand here. The same for the lives of what apparent happened, your actions endangered."
It's left there for a good, solid, mindful moment. The three beings eyed, soon feel this, as memory of what occurred, how each handled it, was then layered upon faces all about, they started to 'see', of the innocents put in the way of the fight, that occurred. The more that they 'see' it, the more Imladris starts to see the guilty facades, that come over each of them.
"Life is precious. Family helps give that meaning. Trust binds it. All like a triad of a fire triangle, that can be difficult to extinguish, but is 'also' direly fragile. One of two may remain without the second or third."
"But they lose strength from it, in the end loss." Eros realizes. Sigrun looking over, as much as Urd 'realizes' within her own goddess encoding. (Displayed as much, with a hand across her ample chest.)
"My stated goal, to uphold. I know you each 'know' better." ...this a softer tone, finishes the nodding realization from even Urd.
From that, Imladris just states to... "Old charge: Learn better of your backbone, as much the same as you once learned manners." ...Eros nodding.
"Apprentice: Your ancient days of bile Darkness 'are' over. Live your Light, as much as you know you want it. A Sister unto History, all still such remains, to learn from. Time will find, where acceptance finally lains." ...this Sigrun nods in turn, an eye to a Norn Sister whom only eyes back generally. Imladris then to both silver melons of they in simult. "Remand you both are, to returning the Standing of my Asset in Sol System, to an upgraded mode, upon when of which, I shalt inspect to the plasteel bolt." ...this Eros straightens. Sigrun knowingly aside. "Yes Lord Excellency." ... "Without fail Master."
Imladris gives a lay look, before are snap teleported outright, at the snap of an rubicon eye flare, to the Sol-Alliance Starbase! Urd blinks over, and then sidelong at... "Together huh, Coz?"
"I'm good for that."
"Air for lungs too?" ... "Verily. Same said for you to your family." ...the added remark, Urd sighing at. "Sorry about all that."
"You say that to Troubadour and Rei, prior to I?"
Urd wipes at her motherly colored hair. "Probably not strong enough, for you bud." ...this a good shake of the head in unaccepted turn. Urd just lays out to object. "Hey, I'm not used to all that, that got shoved onto my lap."
"We both are akin of each other, aye?" ...this Urd stops, Imladris alluding to their dual celestial natures. Urd was actually surprised... "I thought being Tyr again, nullified that."
"Ohhhhh, how I wish only as so." ...this shivering Urd with few iotas of equal. Imladris more than realizing, looking at space of stars, and back to a Norn of her own star. "In fact, all such only returned to more less joy, of the same. But all that , not the point."
"Aye?" Urd quips slit eyed. Imladris allowing a chuckle there, before adding, arms good and locked behind himself. "More to, since you as much as anyone wished to impress upon me, the strength of my own loved bond, despite what I am akin of yourself, you and I, that in turn..."
"I should realize what I too have."
Tyr waggles a lifted finger at, to be certain. "And not for me, so you know."
Urd folds her arms in turn, floating a bit more side long, slanting to let weightless function, let her relax of attempted mode. "I'll echo you for once. Do I deserve them?"
Imladris listens, Urd even relenting. "I'll admit, I didn't take them as seriously as I should. Not sure I still do."
"Do."
Urd's attempt to add in her angst with Troubadour, and her decent consternation with Rei, as the daughter of the daughter of the CEO. Moreso of the celestial alignment of apparent, is dissuaded by a simple word, that causes Urd to suddenly not feel for her uncertainty, of even admonishment prior. Urd realizes the focus of it all now. "But I..."
"Do not look at what you are gifted, as a chain. That said strength from earlier, I attested, you have an even stronger bond of, than any of your sisters now." ...which made for a gasping Urd. This as Imladris remarked. "After all, you are closer in truth (for now,) to your mother Frigurina, than few of us can say to be currently. I that wish to engender such bonds, for my own honest import to garner strength of Existence for, for the Mandate at hand of it All, yet all such cannot attest to the same strength you are begotten of said currently now."
Urd is feeling lighter of heart, as Imladris just alludes to the prior. "Do yourself a favor then, and let go of looking for the past, to satisfy with. Of Portfolio ye attune. Lessons from yes, live within, nay. The same from most part moiself, at that, to impart. And also be sure, to be sure, to not 'lose' yourself in the process, but rather just lose yourself in the fun of it. Time and all, has it's inevitable march, and all thus."
Urd nodding, accepting... "I guess... er... know... Know I will." ...this as she counters back to a smirk back at... "So to be sure, you too will join me in a fest of wanted family." ...this Imladris chuckles goodly so. "I am sure your examples of, I will learn, one way or another from. My time will come, Lind insisting."
Both are left laughing. Up until they realize alone, they are not. This as Urd slits her eyes on Imladris also seeing...
"Teaching our Daughter well, we hope, Dark Lord." ...from the engender of Urd's presence. Urd shivered, at the mere sight of Hild, old alignment problems of worry. Tyr saw, and then just simply replied... "Indeed." ...making Urd look at him, not sensing any apparent fear from. Hild just looks with one open eye, up and down at Tyr, and replies. "Good." ...and phases out of sight.
"Gimme a..." Urd starts, looking generically away, at the Earth.
"I may need you, to help conduct with her, one day." ...this Urd looks over with a sudden grimace, this before Imladris floats across towards the Earth view. "But not today." ...this Urd relaxing in response. Not as so, as Imlade then blinks and looks 'down' at the familiar Earth at. Urd anime blinks, and looks down as well, as 'someone' from below, yells 'up' at him, via a Link, supposedly not so wanted.
And in comical turn... "Oh fine be such, Lady Chihiro! I'll be ready in a moment!" ...this making Urd giggle, worse to a laugh in 'hearing' the manic response, same said in turn, of Immy BLARING back down... "OKAY! BOSS! Just Boss, Chihiro! Sheesh!" ...this Immy flicks looks away with, as Urd is busting a good gut. This as Imlade just complains to Urd bent ear. "I think you have an easier boss to work with, than I do."
"Bosses, for you." Urd rectifies. Imlade then 'feeling' the 'heh' from a Friendly mode in turn. Imlade just sighs and slumps his head, into his folded arms.
"Life is grand."
Urd just kept laughing, all the sauntered way back down.
-A flaring portal, somehow in a secluded Nekomi area-
...a suspicious, guarded moment of looking around. "Good. I think we made it."
Flame then whispered, not to close to burn her ear. "Where do we go Princess?" ...with River looking on. Morgan looked back and smiled. "First to change format and fashion. And then to find said help." ...this Morgan gulped, looking about in a landscape, she no longer has Celestine to assist her with. As such, ala teardropped... "Where ever they may be. Whatever time-frame this is, in fact."
"Nice to know." River imparted, as warbled in tone as her nominal one.
From that, they went to 'change'. (In a familiar warehouse structure, of former kidnapping note.)
"- Oh... - ...blimey." ...Chrono imparts, as she spell phases back unto a familiar hyper-technological sight of memory prior, this before she realizes her own words. This as a Glassian station crewmember comes up upon recognition sight. "Greetings milady goddess." ...Chrono blinking with a quick blush. "Ah... hello... er... again?" ...spoken with a myriad of uncertain emotions, considering her last jaunt to the station.
Just then, a Net spike, pings in... ": We don't need a babysitter Chrono. :" ...such Chrono just huffs to the crewmember's bemusement. "Ah can it Sig, the General ordered me here."
A good moment of awkward silence, such Chrono cocks an eye at alone. "Uh..."
...right before the Glassian suddenly 'acknowledges' something Net-wise, and ZIPS off without warning to Chrono's jerking unease (or just a freak out,) to whit a worse version when the Glassian zips suddenly right back, with... "NO WAY!" ...to Chrono's objection!
"Sorry, Commander Eros's orders." ...the crewmember tones out, holding a package of gray and white fur, and fuzzy wuzzy demeanor to match.
Chrono just dumps her head at the happy meowing sight. "This'll be a long day." ...responded to, with a good purry meow back.
The constant utter purring in her arms, just makes the Silver Wings a wee tic frazzled. "I-I-I don't f-e-e-e-eel well. J-j-j-j-j-just take me to her-him-them-them-her-them."
The furry sight meowing all along the way to the Command Center, makes for lots of non-Terran awws, much to Chrono's throwing fits of discomfort.
"OH gimme a...!" Chihiro complained, just she was about to head for her bike ala outside walls. The nil-notice celestial portal from Gate, depositing Six unwanted arrivals, off zilch notice! Ala... straining... (x6): "We come bearing a Tyr sized... ugh... gift!"
"Get whatever abomination of such thy be, away from me!" Imlade just screeches! Lind aside him, both ready to head out to race to work, for glory, just jitters an eye at! Heck, bout all of them do, as Ere comments... "Wh... what are they carrying? It's HUGE!"
"Ah, so they found my request." ...teen-bopper-Almighty quips, garnering a sidelong glance from a teen-razzledazz-Frig, others about, bewildered, as the Eddas make like servants, carrying a large parcel of royal note. What from the SIZE of the thang!
(#4): "And it's heavy too! Can we drop it and gawk at Tyr already?" ...this as Megumi just quips, a gloved hand to her barred teeth. "Is... is that a book?!" ...the Eddas as one: "Yup! It's Tyr's old Ancient... Grimore from all his combined previous... ugnh... lives! We found it again!" ...Number Two wheezing out... "And it's crushing us.. Ye Gods."
"Gently please." Frigurina tries to consent, but on the Eddas so doing, they just drop the immense tome, and make a THUMP, with crater so after! Frig just blanches! "I SAID GENTLY!"
The raspberry spree of manic-wacky Six on One teeny-High Goddess, just leads to Keiichi offering warily, on walking over to an object that was up to his waist alone, with Goddess Presently... "This... is a book?" ...eyes lain on a tome, at least the size of a Brobdinagium desk of Ye Old English note. Three meters tall, by five meters, by four meters wide. Ancient by look and feel, runes galore, binding with cover, some form of dark, ancient hide, a creature Dragons call ancient even. Pages in gold... crystal... sheets of jewel, meshed with parchments older than much of humanity, in places. Aromas wisped from it, as such, ever so lightly. Auras breathed in stories, as a start. And given goddesses, even Utility Class, don't nominally worry about such things, as mere gravity, the fact the Six are wheezing, garners 'other' unuttered Iotas, about the parcel they just delivered!
Yah, Immy has a flustered look. "You..." ...and of flustering hand, ever so light... "...can take that one back with you."
Tyr wilted at the dirty look the Six gave back. Keima sure was an interested one, poking at it, wondering if... "This thing safe to be here?"
"That depends on the answer." Almighty chuckled back. Frigurina just craned an eye sidelong back at... "Oh ye and your lavished Gifts now. Matching my own to combat?" ...this Imlade just looks over with a start. Worse on hearing... "Of not me, of him, my Hand, ye can Blame." ...this Eye lain on even a Tyr brow, that wilts.
Almighty ensuring... "Nor I that made the stories, just lain unto of Command to record them down."
(#5): "At least that part was fun." ...the rest grimace, knowing how 'much' the Six love to lavish their Tales. (With graphical embellishment. Ye know 'graphical', aye? Very good.)
Yah, Immy has a flustered look. "You..." ...and of flustering hand, ever so light... "...can take that one back with you." ...to Lind rolling her eyes.
Chibi Number One just bonks a rock off his chibi thick head.
"Just... where are you gonna put this anchor, gold dude?!" Keiichi blanched, all despite! Lind just chimed in simply. "Actually, I noticed since I now adorn this trinket.." ...waggling her new prized ring in the air... "...that Beloved's trunk, has the storage unit that once beheld this, is now defunct of use. I sense mending spells may utilize the Trunk space, for extra storage capacity."
"Oui! We can assist there!" Peorth offers more than amicably. Exe throws up cheering thumbs in accent! Imladris just blinks. "Is that really necessary?"
Chibi Number Six just WHACKS a rock off chibi Immy's brain! "Ow."
Lind continues her snickering as Immy bemoans out... "O-okay, so be it done. Man, that one 'did' crack my skull." So said whines, off his healing shiner. This as Almighty offers, for value of 'rubbing it in'. "All are welcome to peruse its contents, if Ye all be brave enough."
"M- maybe later Ultimate Man." Takano just warily replied back with. Frig giggles at the 'title' so lain.
"After one iota." Lind then inserts, others of coked eyes, as before Immy can read the hint off the Link, Lind already HEFTS the Tome, and throws the Book at him!
"Gawds, she creamed em!" Chihiro quips through numb teeth bared. This as Imlade couldn't escape in time, from being SLAMMED with the said Tome, ending up through the Temple wall, and somewhere off the roadway beyond, to the adjoining level below. A palatable moan, so heard, for Lind to relish.
"New one." Almighty plainly relented. Frigurina's glowering jaw aghast however... "Tyr's Grimore?!" ...more concerned for the tome, than the owner.
"That's for calling me a 'celestial muskrat', last night Belove!" ...Lind cheerfully mocks out. (See the other Honor Valks in the background cheering? Yeah, they didn't leave zilch either.)
And so, of certain relations about: Eihwa is clapping happily. Ishara actually the same. Peorth and Jora look unto their Sisters, aghast. Frode, scritching his head. Isa just holding hers. Bout everyone else trying to decide between the line of crying, or laughing. Usually such sentiments of the insane, to be noted.
Ishara and Forde then float high on over to see the wreckage, as Jora walks over and leans on Lind's left shoulder. "Actually, nice touch." ...such Lind just nods cutely, of her handiwork. (And Ere takes another cam-pic.)
Chihiro just bemoans it all, and whaps her left gloved hand at Tamiya behind her. "Let's just get ta work."
"Urd."
"Yeah Skuld?"
"I hate sweeping."
"Yup."
Takano... "Don't make mah get tha Book on yah loafers too!"
Urd and Skuld just SWEEP manically! The same tact worked for Frode too, with Ishara's insistence. Isa too to her blinking surprise. (Isa: "This be different.") Talos didn't buy it, till Peorth chased him with Tyr's Grimore, all over the Temple grounds! Bout sundered her arms doing it too.
Oh... and all those other Valks, Vakils, and celestial whatnots too (that got suddenly dragged back unwillingly...) Frig really did teach Takano well! (Thurd: I haven't swept since Basic! Soliana: "Oh Gawdess!" Phosus: "Nor mine! Auuugh!" Tsuyana: "This is fun!" ...and gets looked at.)
And the Temple never looked better. (Takano: "Don't yah all know it.")
The Sol-station hatch tri-slid open, walkway from turbo lift unto aft, for the Glassian escort, and a escorted. (At least Chrono was more calm... no wait, not yet.) "Why General, whhhhhy?" ...to kooky anime tears. This before a 'very' mindful icy snip in her code, made her crack. "Yes ma'am, Platinum Wings ma'am!" ...much to the comical brute force facial shift in her direction, much to a Silver Wing's anime exhale. This before Chrono is then mindful to look... "I... eh? Oh wow."
To the vast detail of note, the sharply detailed stars of note, in galactic replete, past a vast viewport of another stadium sized note, replete System Oort cloud debris, some sparkling from afar solar light unexpectedly, as well as sight of the Great Hydrogen String, that made of monolithic structure of the Sol System, glowing of rubicon, from charged Solar Winds from their parent star, many light-hours old now, near light-days out here. It's bare glow of same said, now unto four Alliance patrolling starships, as well as a number of much larger Gantry Construction Starvessels, that were already sporting anew sections for the Starbase. The vast viewport however proves dynamic, as holographic targeting projections, along with data encapsulation holoscreens, indicate and hover all about, including multiple points aside from the visible vessels of note. Some screens even zip around at dynamic or commanded whim.
Their such authors come of next impressive note, as a multi-tiered command center, technological out the holographic and dynamic alit replete, melded with white in white advanced surfaces and console stations, some affixed conventionally, others dethatched and afloat as desired/needed, show of some of the Alliance's best and expert willing, slimsuit crewed and casting in awed smiles as Chrono walks forth, as she looks about, and sees her arrival point, was retracting downward on dynamic need, leaving a breathtaking viewscape of all prior denoted, of an omnipresence view to be awed by. Another six more Fleet vessels, another ten Superstructure Construction vessels noted in further surrounding viewpoints. Centering this, above the Omni-transparasteel viewport of lacking any supporting cross-beam need, a central holo-node projector above apex, showing a crisp display of the Sol System in colorful real-time.
All crowned by the sight of three Hikari Trees, within floating dish pools of self recycling Lifewater, to either sides of the dynamic Lift access way, with two Seeds orbiting them, though only two Avatars of glowing cascade note, seen flowing about, eyeing the Valkyrie's arrival as well. The Sisters the quintet named of themselves, imposed unto the crew at that.
Such was the proper introduction of the Star base of (still) unofficially name note, such attended to as Chrono sees Eros and Sigrun walk up, Eros bowing to Chrono's snap blush. "Welcome we thankfully do, to this mighty starbase, Valkyrie Chrono."
"H-hi... ah, hello." Chrono blush manages, to Sigrun smile, as she further offers... "And to your furry escort for this journey, my friend." ...this a resounding meow, forces Chrono to remember her 'training partner'. Such is her jittery realization... "Oh-yeah-sure-just great. Peachy! Eeep!" ...to a cute mew.
Some mutual giggles and chuckling around, as a terse moment of professionalism is allayed for a bemusing moment. This before a 'mindful' icy mind ping, causes Chrono to SNAP... "PEACHY INDEED, Platinum Wings MA'AM!" ...such makes for various teardrops and wacky ducks/dives of comedy, as 'all' around of Net minded note. (And the kitty just purrs more in added 'victory'.)
Eros just leans back to a smirking Norn. "Tis she hath her shots and all for such?" ...to Sigrun's giggle. Chrono burns back... "HEY!"
Such before a new... "Incoming Folds Commander!" ...cascade of Traffic Control tech section directed vocals, denote bright snap emerging sight of several Fold escorted Construction 'Teams' arrive of Alliance best mode. Holographics meld around/upon the 'arrivals' of HUD note, dynamically.
"That's four." ...Eros announces, Sigrun making a 'tch' sound in response. Chrono eyes them both, before some playful kneading distracts her to... "Hey! Watch the jumpsuit." ...to more bemused purring around.
All distracting as an unseen Forran Comms tech, starts to warble off color oddly to something.
"Hold the light there." ...said Boss, position's a loved meaty hand, in the right spot, above three goddess melons. "O-oh'khay." ...Tamiya complies, sweating visibly, as he holds an LED mini-flashlight, directed at the held up hands of said three betrothed goddesses, Chihiro (bout acts like one anymore,) with Belldandy to her right, Lind ala left. This as said light is shone on three sets of engagement rings.
"They look happy." Mini-Frig quipped, as she and Mini-Uber Hubby take their (apparently) usual stations of keeping, at the entrance of Whirlwind, both looking in at the display of expensive joy and rapture. Al just nods more than amicably, before Frigurina just eyes over with... "Where's my ring, after all this time?" ...to whit a Mighty whistle of trying to look nonchalant.
Frig just kept staring.
"They look like stars." ...Belldandy comments, blushes on all three betrothed, as the flashlight is making good, the effect of a jewelers case light display, such Tamiya is being used for. (Hence his comic discomfort.)
"Don't they?" Chihiro agreed, Lind nodding in replete satisfaction. Chihiro commented, as if Tamiya was in another room, more than knowing. "I got surprised that one night, right after that whole Bird Girl bit, you had goin'." ...this she mentions of Lind's episode with Svahn. Lind commented over. "Did it cause your engagement?"
"I think Tamiya had something up his sweaty sleeves, last weekend." ...this Tamiya blurted a most unmanly blush, such made worse on hearing. "To profess a symbol of true love, is never something to be taken lightly. We're all truly blessed."
A good, longing sigh, off of Belldandy's wisdom, adjoined by Chihiro leaning back onto Tamiya.
"Guess I beat ya, eh Lind?" Chihiro teased over. Lind smirked in kind with... "Mine was made by expert Dwarves, of another World Plane, for Irtasus to beget unto me."
Chihiro of course blinks dryly as the 'challenge' is adjoined with... "Mine was given on Christmas Eve." ...this Lind blinks over and sees Belldandy's smile. (Hinted with actual mischievousness.) ...this as such Lind 'smiles' right back over.
And Chihiro eyes between the two, pip eyed. "Don't make me demote you two."
Outside, a screech of worn in brake pads, turns heads as Almighty turns back and greets... "Welcome to Whirlwind."
"An powerful greeting at that." ...comes a Hand's voice. Added ala K1... "Heya gold dude. Heya gals." ...this as souls within, soon join outside, as Chihiro remarks... "Got the last of the new stuff?" ... replied back with... "Si, principale." ...as Eihwa quips back. Chihiro just nods, not realizing she understood that, as the stock team of Imlade, Eihwa, and a (badly) blushing Ex, all procure boxes of various bike parts and accessories, as Keiichi comments. "Guess were about ready for the expansion, eh Boss?"
Chihiro nods. "The new expansion, in a couple of days, once those prefab units get here." ...said with honest pride. This as the whole crew present are in their Whirlwind racing crew work-outfits, with even Eihwa joining in, with a reversed work logo baseball cap, her white-in-white bangs, sticking out through the back end clip ala fore.
"It'll be good to have room again." ...Immy comments, Chihiro just blaring back at... "It'd be just fine, if you'd stop trippin' all over tha joint." ...with chuckles and giggles galore. From there, boxes aplenty are hefted and stocked temporarily, as 'Tyr' keeps regaling his tales, such as... "...and then... where be, oh aye! The Orcs and the Condor Nest brewery." ...Eihwa helping to some eyes unto of non-ease on hearing... "Si, mi Divino volere bene, thy were helping stopping said offenders."
"Simple enough..." ...as laden boxes are carried in orderly... "...Lord Engerdon agreed, and we used some of the less aged Ales, large kegs, about Lord Keiichi's size, and used a good... what... hundred of them, to roll them off a hill... next box... and a good army of Dwarves pushing... next box... to literally give the advancing Orcs the slip. Flood at that even." ...as he carried a second box inside. Chihiro was sure eking through her teeth, Lind beaming through hers. Keiichi noting... "You used beer to stop them?" ...off key. Almighty just 'tsked' as much as Frigurina giggled at, Tyr popping his head back out, as his helpers finished with the cargo. "Hey! It was the cheap stuff! Like we'd use the good stuff, like that! That stuff was used later that night in celebration."
"Gods and drunken parties." Lind chided back, hands on her hips. Tyr leaning back on her, back inside. "The good stuff came from DR 1209... not a good year for pirates." ...this Lind smirking, as Immy continues on with assistants, as much as Keiichi and Chihiro, trading looks of shrugging at it all in comical ignorance.
Chihiro then just comments... "Just keep it to just stories till after work." Belldandy remarking from her spot... "Cousin's stories make working here, so lively." ...Chihiro more remarking... "Actually I meant the drinking part. Let's get to work."
From there, a lively, if nominal, day at the shoppe. Chihiro mostly directed the placement of boxes for the aforementioned expansion, as Belldandy levitated between taking calls, hovering over to check up on her future husband, and give positive reinforcement, where hardly needed, but easily given anyway. Lind meanwhile just levitated as she hawked over her own future hubby, as she just used an Ice Whip to get Imlade to follow Chihiro's orders, as much as to haze the bloke endlessly. (Lind: "Work minion!" -Happy WHIP crack!-) She'd let Chihiro have a crack, literally, to Tamiya's dismay. Eihwa just assisted wherever, as Ex only partakes where asked, as her 'lesson' here, was to experience what 'work' and 'family' was. (Also to be near a gloriously overworked crush. More to that later.)
Keiichi then would come in to announce finished engine block setups, and Chihiro would help in mounting. Even with getting a 'Mighty' lift of spell hand, to nary asked of assist, for both bikes so block mounted. Frig would help with hugs, and rounding cheers when bikes were finished with mounting. Next came lubing, all the while Imlade kept regaling outlandish tales that seemed to relate to work, though the 'details' in them, only Lind could really stand to love.
And then lunch. The in house Belldandy lunch box best, everyone else begets to enjoy. (With a cute mini-scene of everyone together, munching and 'Mmm' sounding, replete happily.)
Soon, as after clean up and afternoon chores are being assigned, Chihiro also remembers in asking Belldandy. "Hey... isn't tonight the Valentines meeting?" ...this Bell looks back with a rare start. "Oh yes! Mother!" ...suddenly anew gleeful sounding, as Frigurina comments more lay... "With added topics to boot, for a certain set of reasons." ...he utters generally, though not remiss to three general ring bearers of present. The sorta same for out of sight, within earshot presenters of note.
Peorth and Ere just mirror a sudden in poof appearance disturbing echo of "Oui, how romantique." ...with kooky mirror anime posses ala both! (Even Al-kith eye twitches to the sight.) Chihiro ala sight of just twitching... "Uhhh..." ...Eihwa popping a vein in zipping over! "Cease apparendo where unwanted!" Peorth just spinning around with... "All the better to spy on you, Secur." ...with Ere just making a comic click with her ever present camera.
Somehow in the next panel, two Sisters just slap-whap-bang it up in an anime cloud, Ex seeing Ere, screaming... "Help me!" ...caught in the goddess furball. Ex just look at it all with a finger on lips blankly. All this in between Al and Frig exactingly, before slap-banging outside, with Keiichi's voice girly screeching quickly there after... "Away from the bikes, that way! THAT WAY!" ...Ex just commenting... "They act like Skuld and Urd." ...Al and Frig simply nodding in simult twice.
And then a rather hard crash, and... "OW that hurt!" ...as Chihiro yells. "Stop dropping my expensive parts, chrome dome!" ...as a wobbly 'SoRrY' comes out back. Lind just snicker-sighing, as Al quips. "I'll check on my Friend." ...eyes trailing as a Mighty kith hover-enters the overloaded stock/storage room, whom sees a Hand, tenderly poking a swiftly healing gash of a pink, sparkily cut. Almighty just cracks lightly at... "Practicing another combat routine?" ...as Immy just moans out... "Only if Physics itself it of dire foe." ...as Almighty just pokes a finger at a fallen box of motorcycle Cams, hefting it as such by an invisible line of Will alone. "Allow Me then." ...and emplaces it back upon an overloaded top shelf. Immy-Tyr just looks up with a pained facade. "Thank Ye."
"You always found ways to employ yourself to lower lifeform needs." ...kith-Al remarks over, Imlade just shrugging through waning pain. "Always felt good to get one's hands dirty. Still ever does." ...Immy remarks, before blinking, realizing his words. "Yeah... still does. Yeah... still." ...still off kilter with his ascended state. An iota he tries to turn away from, be reaching for another box, all such defeated as Al-kith just finger-point-powers said box away, and up to another empty spot. Same said for the next six boxes so as done, in comical cute order. Al just smiles boyish cutely back as Immy just comically cracks... "Trying to take my paycheck away, or something?"
"You hath replete incumbent all withstanding. You still owe me for that drinking binge back in Celestia, ye should verily know." Almighty kin steers mindfully untwoards. Imladris just blanches back without realizing 'why'... "Tis not my idea to so done! Tis was a bad Council Day prior, and ye knew it. All that Mead, and then Cavorting through Bahamut's Citadel of all places, of uncouth!"
"Tis was fun hiding the High Draco's hoard throughout the Seven Planes, and 'Ye' knew it!"
Tyr of Immy's blinking note, remembers... "I don't think the Arch-angels there liked the clutch eggs being hidden in their temples."
Almighty the Small also blinking... "Or Baha-kun linking the drawn glasses over his eyes." ...this Tyr eyeing over... "Didn't know you had a paintbrush that big." ...this Al-kun just eyes over with a shrug. This the two just stare at each other for a moment.
...and then flat out are on the floor laughing their celestial tuckuses off! Even screeching in guffaw... "Boy we were so drunk! WHAHAHAHA!" ...ala both!
Such by then the whole rest of the gang are craning their necks over in a gaggle, around the doorway. Keiichi quips. "They've been doing that a bit lately." ...Belldandy a happy smile to match Frigurina's own. "Reflections of lost times together."
"I've missed this too." Wee-Frigurina comments... though before blinking blandly. "Though not all of it."
Chihiro comments confused. "Didn't think Big Guy was the laughing type." ...before an unexpected query back from... "Don'ts you do also dos so?" ...making Chihiro blink back up to... "Course I do Tamiya... I... WAIT! What does that all mean Buckko!" ...all nice and piranha fangy at a grossly sweating, oversized lovah.
"Enjoying thine showscape?" ...they all begets being caught, as the group looks at Al and Immy blinking cutely at them all. Lind just responds to her Boss. "Ensuring Beloved hasn't cleaved the Realm with his thick head." ...this Al snickers, and a Strategy God just dumps his melon at. "I have thy Murphy Gods curse, I tell ye. I sweareth!"
More snickering on fully Immy's behalf, before... "- Hello? -" ...makes Chihiro spin around, looking back... "Oh! Satori! Keiichi!" ... "Right!" ...both suddenly off to finish off presentation of yet another lucrative bike custom job, Belldandy in quick rear concert. Tamiya actually stays for the next part. "Eh? Luind?" ...he so sees.
In nigh immediate further concert unto Imladris's auspice, apart other eyes watching. does Lind reach over to lean down cup his chilling chin. This the said goddess gaggle and a Godly Friend eye, as a good stared into eyes moment, possessive ice blue eyes that make Immy shiver out... "A... a-aye milove?"
"I wonder." ...is all the General says. The ascended pseudo-God just blinking back with... "Of...?"
Lind then just simply retreats back, leaving the room without saying else more. Immy just blinks even more off kilter, garnering zilch net-wise, as he then sees Eihwa giggling a tic just more than lightly, or even comfortable to the eye. "Oh caro Chevalier." ...Peorth seen looking down smirkingly unto Eihwa's bianco cranium, not to mention (all of em still in said doorway ala prior, makes it all look weird,) Ex and Ere blushing dearly, Frig even looking a bit 'bothered'. All such just making Tyr all panicky suddenly! "Wha... w-what? What?! WHAT?!" ...his head jutting back and forth! Al's elbowing not helping matters.
"There ye are." ...suddenly to an ear NABBING pain, as Peorth suddenly... "EYEEE! Ow ow owwie!" ...another group blink to Isa's sudden appearance, to painfully whence... "Ye left Talos dear to chores alone. Lady Takano is miffed." ...to whit Peorth whines to no avail, as Isa adds... "Come along Ere apprentice." ... "Ah... Yes Ma'am!" ...before all three poof out of sight, back to the Residence. Eihwa just mocks out cutely with a spin. "Ciao stupido sorella!" ...before a phantom motherly 'bonk' quickly silences her! (See Ex zip-diving away for needless comedic effect?)
Imlade just makes light of this, butt sitting and all to Al... "Effective promotions of thy both, indeed." ...before an icy needle suddenly ZIPS into his melon from zilch of nowhere! Al just nods, Immy just feeling jittering loving pain again. "Dat one huwrt em." ...Tamiya gleeps out, somehow registering all the zaniness once again. (Or actually more than lil bugger you-know-whats.)
Frig then claps her hands... "Back ye all to work, ye lot."
"/ What say you?"
": I'm sensing dimensional fluctuations from Mother. :" ...such Daughter of Hikari quipped to a confused Synthetic General. Scetu shifted his head in thought, before looking out the starboard viewport of the Overbridge, towards the Excellency Motherworld. He requests. "/ Make recordings of your continued findings."
": We all are. We aren't amending however. :" ...Daughter responded. Scetu then considered. He then looked back at a an Assat Comm-Tech. One of many that remained as permanent crew of the Illistrum now. "Correlate holodata with the Sol Outpost, but do not alert as yet."
"Aye." ...the Tech nodded her melon at. Scetu then conducted walk about, in decent echo of a Master of creator.
"Pet it. Just pet it. Easy... easy... eeeeaaasssyyy... eep!" ...such was her next attended for the day.
Eros looked on back oddly, as he escorted the two goddesses along towards one of the lower sections of the Station main Concourse, as per the Command Center above, nigh panoramic starviews all around, save for artistically curved and melded blue in white gantry ways for various walkways, and the main central station lift access where occluded sight the same, all where one looked. Same for replete Alliance best holotechnology melded all about, to a Griffional artistic imaginative best.
Much of what the two goddesses saw before hand, were melded with a Station crew that attended multitudes of Departments of Alliance techs, mainly of military bearing note at present. Science bearing crews would attend later on. Such attested to work crews that the trio approached at one Hard point zone, where an Archway was being prepared for connection to one of the Construction Modules also being prepared. Plasma and Arch welders, as well as Forran junctions, were in numerous preparation here.
All such alluded away from as Sigrun bemused over... "Was that your third petting of the day?"
"Four! I'm keeping real count you know!" ...to whit Sigrun nearly looses it to Chrono's comical discomfort. Eros just eyes away, as he remarks instead. "Here's the section where new crew habitation where conjunction. Should be up by the end of tomorrow's Cyclon."
"Creature comforts over provincial concerns first Commander?" Sigrun remarked over. The Commander just rubs at his silvery melon again. "We're not in a rush for anything more vital as yet."
"Nor even the Nourishment Pod tanks?" ...the Norn smirks over, Eros just balking back a tic to emotional. "That'll be the next Cyclon milady!" ...such Chrono looks up as Eros just moans at another point in Sigrun's smirking favor. She, and her furry accompaniment, just eye dryly. "So when's the wedding suite already." ...with a dry mew to add in. Such Sigrun in turn becomes emotional. "Don't start that again!" ...ala to comical to many a nearby ear. Such Sigrun just matches Eros's bluish. Sigrun just joshes in addition. "Common, we all know better and all. Just be your best here. For each other too."
A much different response from both, ala from prior, as Sigrun just smiles back. "We know. I still got to keep him straight and true." ...Chrono smiling much more amicably back as well. Eros sees and sighs, seeing his future before him indeed pinned down within a Singularity of sorts. Sigrun senses this and takes unto Eros's hand.
-spak-
Such Chrono blinks as much as her furry companion, as a Norn hand jerks back a touch, as Eros presumes... "Ah... must be all the static from welding. Everyone keep mindful!" ...such the Commander turns to a snap mindful crew, a few who also noticed. As orders for Static Compensators are ordered for, Sigrun looks at her offending(?) hand, with an off kilter look. Such Chrono leans over with... "You okay?"
A Norn contorts her facade a tic... "I'm... ah..."
": Such Hath MY time Becometh! :"
The Gray Realm, was awash in the glow of roiling Soulless Code! The Screeches, Slithering, The Burning. Howling sounds as the Soulless System was in full effect upon its Target now! All that Code, seething unto a Portal the Gray System was Completely enacted of, unto the Judgment Gate!
": To think to Save me, Ignores I Command that I corrupted in the first place! All with Knowledge Stolen the same, from the Crime's own Impure Auspice! Relish the Agony from it! RELISH THY SORROW! WEEP UNTO EXTINCTION! :"
The Focus was without fail. And unto none other at that moment! The Sixth Barrier was next now... System interlinks were also silently disrupted.
-All the same, somewhere...-
"- Adjunct Parameter: Entity Sentient Machiner Apex Prime. Interspatial Void. Encoding Procedure 945-A/L.563-ER7.
Procedure: Sublimation. Begun. -"
Saccloth in the Void within Voids, between any dare near Galactic Supercluster of any note. Not even Dark Matter or accompanying Energy was at hand here, it's last vestiges of even Entropy's make, absorbed unto a Being that dwarfed even the last Being that made its presence known.
And 'dwarfed', was an insulting injustice of a word to use in description.
Saccloth, with worse now floating before the Being of ancient hibernation note. One Caceroth eyed with the only thing giving any semblance of 'light' here. Flickering gray eyes of anguish, monolithic. Demanding.
"- We shall now conduct unto a Seal, with Others of your defunct kind. All with a simple plea of... -" ...with a snap spread of sudden ash code, glowing it's gray burn, at something that took Eons to achieve its illogical swath from. "- ...a lie. -"
The first energy in said Eons, enters the ultrastructure... and begins its awakening.
A sight that activates soon of slowly, all around him. Such keeps going for many... many AUs...
All pinpricks of glowing sharp gray.
This before a Wraith realizes something, on reflective thought.
-Upon a gray, unfriendly sky of note...-
Morgan looked around, keeping a level facade, as she and her 'earthly' adorned friends kept close of pace. Flame comments in a lower 'roaring' tongue of usual norms. "Pardon milady, but you are certain of your course." ...this Morgan looks back with her prior iconic disguise of dark tresses. "Enough, though familiarity alludes me all the same."
"As you are certain." ...River tries to maintain trust in, as the trio walks towards what Morgan remembers of the way to NIT campus. This, Morgan in her prior said disguise attire of memory, long very kempt black tresses of strait, same of her prior red long jacket and black skirt-suit with knee boots attire. River in hand with a Belldandy-esc sea side spring dress beget up, same of akin blue in watery teal hair, and Flame in a Keiichi-ish nominal garb of jacket, shirt and jeans that Morgan remembered of her warm images of him. The hair of fire red did in even Phosus's nominal version. The 'nominal' look more than getting by, though now speed and vector were of next problems here.
"Pardon again once again miss." ...Flame imparts of Flame's impatience, Morgan eyeing back uneasily unto. "If you must."
"If time be of essence, should not thee fly instead." ...this River blinks over Flame's shoulder with flickering watered eyes, to the same in turn. Morgan sees both eye sets with comment back with. "My powers were mainly unto of Celestine's format, last I was here, yet his Tactics were unto mine. We'd likely be more easily seen I was of simple lay type, on a world plane that sees only birds do the same normally, in this daylight."
"We worry of that because?" ...River asks next, Morgan stopping in realizing... "Er..."
After a weird, still moment of bird flying by uncertainty, Flame realizes... "Too much of old memory it seems." ...Morgan actually about face vaulting on that one. She just eyes back with a comical smirch unease. "Too much on an old god's paced tactics perhaps."
Their moment of comedy, suddenly stops, when a misplaced yell, catches their attention. "What be?" ...ala all three, as sight across the street, sees a sudden, terse argument of a couple. Morgan blinks as a female of foreign looking African descent, argues with a common looking Japanese male. Words from the two are muddles in the watching eyes, as River denotes. "They look unwell of Tides." ...this Morgan whispers. "I-it is... beginning here..." ...'too', left off, as the Fairy Princess looks at her companions.
Their sudden hopping speed above rooftops garners little attention as more such 'arguments' erupt suddenly about.
When an illogical Format... smiles... Dear Almighty.
Such He in the Void suddenly realized an awful Truth, to it All.
"/ Respond Daughter! Respond!"
The crew aboard the Overbridge grew more reserved in hearing what only came back as... vocal shivers. Scetu swung his head about, prior to a holoscreen pops up. "Sir! We can't get Daughter to respond to us!" ...from a slowly growing of panic looking Katath engineer tech. Scetu looked back at the Assat Comm-Tech. "/ Connect with Eros, now!"
The Assat however, a stuttered moment later... "I'm... I'm having trouble... run diagnostics!" ...she snaps to her trio of Alliance subordinates! Scetu sees little need to demand what he does not know, though on attempting to access the Network... "/ Impossible..." ...he then snaps out. "/ I will be in Engineering Core!" ...and STAMPS out at a harsh pace!
A random Furbrath fem-Tech warbles out. "What... what's going on?"
"Tha heck?" ...Otaki warbles, as Satoko and he look at another such out of the gray argument, as a blond American male, has at a sudden spat with a Nippon lass! Satoko eyes, as Otaki rubs at his biker mane uneasily. "They sound rather... er.."
"Pissed?" ...Otaki says of his own helpful mode, though that then makes Satoko snap a look back. "Otaki, your danged language!" ...both snap hear, as a split moment later as she sees her Husband's woeful glance behind glasses, the hint of anger behind them, Satoko doesn't see. Nor the blink of realization Satoko also has as she holds at her mouth. "Did... did I just...?"
That is stopped as the harsh first argument, is joined rather afar unseen, by another terse filled cry of dual anger! More eyes around look, that aren't adjoined in arm, as two seeing of that 'are' look back at each other with... "What really tha heck?"
"What are you talking about?"
Chrono and Sigrun look, as Eros is at a flatscreen holopanel, as an image of the Forran Comms controller, with a Furbrath tech nearby, imparts warily "-We're having trouble with the communications grid. The Trees are sensing disruptions. -"
Eros looks back at the two goddesses, before he snaps back with... "Is it the other vessels shadowing us?"
"- Uncertain. We're diagnosing the primary and sensor arrays. -"
"Keep on it." Eros can only say, his prior bouts of impatience, not of help here, such he's learned in hardened ways already. He looks off generally, and then looks back to...
"Huh? Sigrun?"
Chrono jerks a look over, at a sigh that makes her furry companion mew worriedly. Such attested.. "Sigrun?"
...the far off look by the Silver goddess, uneasy to the immediate eye. "I... I-I don't... s-something..."
Eros and Chrono just trade their own worried look.
"WOOHOO! OH YEAH! THAT'S THE DEAL! UHUH! YEAH YEAH!"
Cause: A brand new acquisition of a Custom Whirlwind bike speeds off under happily owned heels, with burned rubber and dust about in happy reaction, as the providers of said work of true joy, just Dance about happily/greedily/enraptured, with the rest of the entire Whirlwind crew, in the shop foyer way! (Ala all of em.)
Belldandy being twirled by Keiichi, Al jigging with Frig, Chihiro and Tamiya just dancing ala club style, Immy with a goddess gaggle in the funky beat. (Hey, Lind can dance good.)
Keiichi just cracks happily back between spun about honey blind lengths... "That's, what... seven bikes this month?"
"Damn straight partner!" ...the greedy side of the equation remarks out.
Tamiya just huffs out between classic man pose dancing... "Lookin to break a recohourd by tha end of tha month!" ...this making Chihiro pop an Egyptian dance strut suddenly.
"This thy be fun." ...Al kid cracks, as Frig bopper giggles a dance twirl about him. "Wooo!"
Immy, with more than a few more celestials about him than he at first realizes (or anyone save a Mighty Dancer,) takes a dipping Lind in right arm, before hearing... "Oh yeah, that's the way pup master!" ...this Tyr nodding... "Aye, we did... er..." ...blinking in hearing realization... " ...good?" ...and looks as Lind looks up... "Hey! Don't stop dancing minion!"
"You souls?" ...Imlade blinking as in snap sight with Eihwa and Ex, is adjoined in matching Whirlwind work uniforms, "Generals? Wha... -looking downish- ...Master Thor... Sifa?" ...as said Generals Three, and the War Masters in kith format, equal to a Mighty Dancer present, dance along with in step too! (Wait a tic... Where...?) ...is unto Immy's mindset, as Rend blink sees and snaps... "Don't ruin the party pup!" ...as Hirund and Mist dance an effective Irish-esc jig. Wee-Sifa just croons... "See Hubby, you can dance!" ...Thor bellows a good guffaw in mini-response!
It's like that for another good kooky bit, as suddenly Imlade is the only one not dancing, as Lind ala pose waits to be twirled around, as said concussion case looks about in odd, general confusion.
This before Lind snap hollers at him! "I said dance me, Twerp!"
"Where'd you all come from!?"
The comical general retort kills the dance party suddenly, as Chihiro looks and bemoans... "And he's off again folks." ...an off kilter hand waggle to match.
Belldandy just waves in chippering out... "Welcome to Whirlwind, to you all!" ..this Mist waves happily back, as Thor mini barks back... "Stop slaying the fun!" ...Imlade just warbling back... "I thought you all went back to Heaven!"
"We came back!" ...ala all three Generals, Hirund leading the spontaneous blitzkrieg of the Three unto a ever too flexible leaning back of an anew God amongst! "Don't ye have Jobs?!"
"Your tone exasperates!" ...Lind joins snap too, a four on one lean back of a spine breaking Aen-ner!
"Who's running the Section?!"
"You are PUP!" ...Sifa/Thor adjoin unto a sundering spine!
"Yeah bu... ow, mah back!"
"He's gonna need a Chiropractor soon." Keiichi lay eye notes, Tamiya cracking along... "Aftah a Hospita trip.", to a Daughter Norn and Father Highest adjoined laugh aside them. Ex realizes her blinking unto from her loss into dance near a crush, as Eihwa giggles out. "Qualcuno è popolare oggi." ...this Immy just complains out... "Boss... workplace hazing here!"
"You need all the bossing ya can get creep!" ...Chihiro helps zilch there! Frigurina smirking in folded arm the same. "They are even dressed for the job."
"Job?" Ex blinks back over, as Immy extricates to a spine amicable position, Chihiro just turns around and holds the gross receipt of purchase. "They can boss em around, while we start divvying up these spoils!" ...and ZIPS into the shop! Keiichi anime skedaddles inside, yelping... "Don't spend my share on models again! Chihiro! Chihiro!" Tamiya zipping off with decent speed of greed too! The rest of the celestial bunch just smile warily, before those not of the War Section (Ionicly) present, watch those that do, as Hirund leers smirkingly, lips and arms folded alike, teasing of chide... "So this is where begot your time under the lash."
"Ye heard Lady Belldandy Cousin. Welcome to Whirlwind." ...Tyr smiles back... "Now go back." ...to an ill.
"You lookin for another beat down Pup?!" ...Mist/Rend verbally waylay into the gold bloke. Imlade just blinks in realizing. "Wait. How come Lady Takano didn't hogtie ya'll all down too back there?"
"Hiii!" ...celestial eyes look back, as... "...ya know!" ...Gate makes a hello-happy pose of such anime such, in her own lil Whirlwind suit, outta nowhere! (Her 'arms' akin of same style, akin of worksuit instead of mystical norm.) "Immy dryly jitters a finger pointing eye... "And now her too?"
"Tactics have their methods." ...Tyr looks back to a wary start, as Lind has that 'eye' aglow of alook. Tyr shard shivers more than Immy shard does, or maybe flat out equal. Thor and Sifa share a snicker in hearing, such Immy throws a fit at.
And then for the weirdness of it all... "We're here! We're here!" ...The lot blink over, as suddenly... "Ahh! Not you guys too!" ...as now Ishara, Jora and even Frode(?!) appear in Whirlwind unis, unto Immy's chronic dismay! Ishara just cutely puffs out, the same of a blue lock of tress, from her reversed sports cap in uniform fashion. "What? We can't see what you do for a mundane living?"
Jora just hops over and gives Lind a high-five-hello, as Frode quips, looking odd in a worksuit coverall getup. "Has our Daughter kempt you in proper place?" ...Imlade snickering. "Ye mean she ever shalt stop such?" ...an eye over an evil smirking Ice General. Jora's 'ummhum' helps nay.
Tyr then tries to... "Well you see, I... eh?! AH BUGS!" ...as Gate suddenly has an Whirlwind colored unto herself open gate portal, and... "We're here too!" ...as in gaggle trouncing order, a 'professional' looking' Honor/Training Command crew, all twelve other points such, appears with a matching Isa in tow! All black and silver lined jumpsuit garnering and all! "Let's have Eternal fun!" ...Isa ever so suddenly cheerful. Olruni: "To the Joy!"
Immy blinks as in short order, a bunch of Celestials are gabbing it up around a mind squeaky anew godling. Isa even chimes out, her own Whirlwind work cap, with her extended mane, ponytail poking out the back of it! "Okay. Now what do we do Master?" ...Immy just... "Er..."
Chihiro then pokes her head out at... "What's with all the racket " ...and on seeing... "Oh gee. Free help I hope." ...this Frigurina snickers at.
"Everything's so lively now!" ...Belldandy chimes out in glee. This as Imladris starts to realize. "Ah... I didn't invite them boss." ...this Sifa just mini-SMACKS his backside all painful like. (She hits hard.) Laughs are in short order.
Takano has to adjust her shades. "Gee golly. Spiffin' city." ...as Urd and Skuld nearby have shades too, and also looking all beat the bush, as the glorified Temple grounds are sparkling and shiny beyond the logic of even Mr. Clean to explain!
Takano amends with a smirk. "Guess all dem hup-too types know their stuff."
Skuld just wobbles in a lean near the Moth... er... lady. "Can I go to sleep now?'
Urd's drained version. "Can I die now?'
Takano just huffs back over. "You gals need to feel good hard work in ya bones, I swear."
"Uhuh." ...Urd warbles, as Troubadour nearby is out cold on the ground nearby, with Rei bouncing up and down atop his back, squealy trampoline and all. Course this also means it's like Woodstock, (or Jonestown,) the undead morning after, with all the Section Valks and Vakils splayed about, moaning for some illogical reason.
"Almighty made it all too big!" ...a Cocoa ponytail-maned Valkyrie moans. Takano just shrugs in hearing. "Thought Big Guy overdid it inside. Which... gee golly, might explain it all."
"Daddy made..." ...Skuld ala wasted and crunching to the grass... "...too many rooms. Ohhhh my hands."
Takano just snickers, right before... -ZAP-SNAP- "Eh?!" ... "TALOS you FOOL!" / "PEORTH!" ...ala sounding narly!
Urd sure blinks, as Skuld looks up over the screen bottom.
And out of such unexpected nowhere, the two lovers are seen between the two Temple structures... "Watch where you are going!" ... "ME?! What about you blast it!" ...Talos snaps back even more harshly, to Peorth's sneering eye(?)
"What's with ya's two?!" ...Takano blares out in confusion, as the two cross world lovers blink at her, and then blink at each other, and then... just blink.
"Whaaa...?" ...is their next rather hollow sounding tone, of simult note.
-ZARCK!- ...makes eyes stab over at... "Rei?!" ...Troubadour snaps suddenly, as... "Mommy?" ...the next hair raising tone, as Urd looks over at Rei, who is hugging at herself very uneasily. Urd shoots over too... "I got you... AH!" ...as... -ZAP!- ...What the HELL!?"
"URD!" ...Takano and Skuld yelp, as Urd then realizes her tone was also far too harsh! Hildishly so...
"I..." ...Urd tries to say anything, as Rei looks on helplessly.
Takano as much any, then sees the morbid looking sky... "S... something's wrong." ...as suddenly an afar Neko hiss and screech, is adjoined by really nasty barking, setting nerves even more frayed! Spaffa orbs are seen zipping all over in looks of confusion, of their own uneasy technological impart.
": You guys too? :" ...suddenly pings over, as Takano spins about... "Satoko?!"
": You guys won't believe what we're seeing! :" ... pings in from Sora and Suzuki blare... ": People are starting to fight all around us! :"
Just then... "What do you..." ...Skuld starts, and then a strange stutter of shouting, screams and angry cries spike the very air! Urd just denotes as even weary Twin Order types are unnerved in hearing. "What's with all the fighting?!"
Rei is then heard, balled up to her miniature knees. ": It's all wrong. :"
": It's over here too! :" ...Keiba's ping stabs in, right before... ": OW! Dammit, that hurt Keiba! :" ...as this time a 'spike' hits even the Net! So does Megumi's nigh immediate shattering reaction of sorrow.
": Something's wrong! :" ...as Skuld disbelieves... "Gaitha too?!" ...as 24's Ping from a Galaxy away adds in. ": Souls around me are arguing out of nowhere too! GUYS! Stop that frack-poss already! :" ...as 24's tone even turns snarly!
Everyone Pinging just feels... unnerved in speechless mode.
Just as Ere appears from the Buddha Temple. "GUYS!"
It was like their world was dying of all light. Scetu looked lost from it all, for one, the Engineering crew hovered in cloisters, as the Katath Engineer feel onto his knees. Scetu looking at his own hands, as the 'being' within them had vanished from them, back within of 'regressed' mode, with only balling whimpers coming from the diffused Seed.
"/ How... why...?"
": So wrong. :" ...was what whispered out, before the crying bawl begins to echo out more, and more... and more.
And now with the... "Network... is down..." ...the General hears aside him. This, for once, his programming didn't have an answer back for. Anyone else, or himself. Worse of... ": Mother... I can't feel you Mother... :" ...of such a horrid, hopeless sob of loss.
"/ Master... I..."
"It what!?"
"- It's down! All Comms are down! -" ...The Furbrath tech on screen screeches in disbelief!
"- We can't contact the flotilla! -" ... "- Screens are destabilizing! -"... "- The Trees are fluctuating! -" ...another pair off screen voices decries! Eros lost his patience. "Station alert! No Drill!" ...to the outright blare of Klaxons all of a sudden. Chrono looking around, is suddenly hugging at her cat, as much as it's reciprocated in fear laden kind. Eros considers far more logically. "We're no good here. To the Center." ...and takes Sigrun's hand outright.
-SPZACH!-
"EROS!"
"OW! What the shnizz...?" ...he stops cold outright, as he looks at Sigrun's suddenly shaking head. Eros realizes far better to his credit... "I-I'm sorry... I..."
"Oh no...!" ...Sigrun feels to a rising bile of terror. Chrono sees and gulps towards Eros... "Ah... let's just..." ...and takes Sigrun's hand instead. Eros is stunned in place for a moment, before he then follows at a quickened pace, the same all about of cascading note.
": SOON! Soon Hate will shatter the Bonds, and shear Dimensions APART! :"
Sixth Locked in. The Soulless Network began to engage it's Seventh Dimensional Adjuncts. Spells were becoming of added Target next.
The Wail grew another Octave.
Caceroth started to finally wonder if...
...and looked within, at his own swimming Ash Code...
"Dummkopf!"
"Scumbag!" ...ala two Demon blades, looking ready to run each other through blindly, and the hideout they are in as well! This for Demons that are acting too lethal to realize better!
...the next however...
"I think... maybe..."
"So you say." ...River kept following Morgan's erratic course, Flame in increasing agitation.
As was the anger rising... almost heartlessly in some instances about.
'- Silveren Holo-cam fem-tone reporter: "You... you sure of that? But... h-hey, get them to stop! Ah... sorry c-souls, but we're getting reports of expanding numbers of arguments, occurring without warning, on... it can't be all those planets... shizznash... er, sorry... arguments are literally breaking out, all over the galaxy... it... it seems.
And... t-t-t-the Excellency Homeworld too?
Wha... what's going on here?! Some... will you two stop it over there, we're on live feed for life sakes! -'
": BEGIN CONJUNCTION CASCADE! :"
The Seventh Dimensional Code Engaged... now the Eight...
...the Wail was becoming a strange... silence... high pitch beyond even celestial hearing perception...
"Woooo!" ...comes as an unexpected sound, as Al and Frig kiths look on with matching smirks. This as Imlade just looks on with a bemused look, arms folded and lay.
Chihiro had begotten back inside for her own health of sanity and ill health of comical greed, as Keiichi emerges in said doorway place, seeing with... "Erk!" ...a canon-esc startle. Al eyes(patch) over on hearing. "Uh... what's God-dude making em do now?"
Tyr just chuckles to thy mortal. "My words teach too well it seems. Such I hath take better care."
"Says you Master!" ...Frode gleefully denotes, as he, with the rest of the sorta-maybe Section work crew, or something, are all kneeled over in a conical adjoined gaggle, Isa, Eihwa and Ex even, even... gee, the Generals and all? (Wha the...) are all akin with Belldandy, as... "Hello Mr. Ant!" ...she waves at a simple, tiny said creature, they are all gathered around. This said insectoid waves back with an antennae cutely.
Keiichi just twitters an eye. "Uh..."
"Allow Me." ...tiny-Al offers, ala snap Net update on the download (literally) Keiichi gets a quick synopsis of what caused it all, when Jora asked off kilter. "No offense Step Bro-Master, but why do you bother with such mundane stuff anyway?" ...which had begotten some better knowing looks from the elder celestial types about, when Tyr just imparts off said, with... "Such be a cog of the great working, all too often overlooked, such I take pride in full thereof, when chances betaken."
Ears ply to Wisdom begotten from Ages and Eons, comes across as simple fare, as Imladris wipes at his hands with a work rag of grime. "We are of a Multiverse, soaked and replete of such mundane miracles, full of souls that try their best, and hope for more the same. Tale such and they all too unnoted to those about and around, adding their cogs though too many a time, thankless, yet all of it of greater strength to the whole, in the truly greater measures."
Even Lind is lost in Wisdom that wrought even High Gods in attendance, as Belldandy learns from whence Celestine was so taught. Tyr just remarks further. "What seems not import, is always ever moreso to the truly great Workings we attach as part of the Fabric of Life. But not just of we on high, or Mid of Midgards." ...as Tyr offers a bading hand to the ground, all looking at... "The same of Creatures smaller than the greater. All their workings, part of the weave that gives life it's truly true of meanings." ...this causing the lot to end up ZIPPED into the same said position that Keiichi discovered all such. (Sepith-Glaud-Glinor: "How cute!")
The lot then hear on coattails of, Tyr finishing... "Such that Weave, we attach all else importance to us, of greater Words, there from. The same to answer your query by, young Commander. Such I enjoy by."
A rather longing sigh, comes in response from the listening lot, as Tyr semi gulps at it, still adjusting to such Wisdom at such easy beck and Call. (And Tyr: "Step Bro-Master? Really?" ...ala Jora just anime teardrops at.)
Keiichi, from his own perspective, just wilts out at... "Ah... just don't step me?" ...to a Mighty snicker in turn.
And such Imlade then turns eye unto the bleakening sky, and then finally starts to feel...
Takano blinks, yanking her glasses off at... "Tha doo-dad did what?"
Urd spouts it better. "What do you mean the Administrator Node failed?!" ...Peorth in snap concert... "C'est impossible!" ...as Isa follows from the Residence suddenly as well, both shooting to see for themselves of such illogic! "But that's powered my Almighty Himself!"
Minds were reeling from Ere's sudden announcement, as everyone else in the area, look stunned and uneasy. And then one of the fore thinking Guardinal Vakils of Giraffe ala mode, yelps. "I cannot access my Gate Network!"
"I... I don't feel Intracel." ...a separate Valkyrie then chills out.
A strange mind lock then suffused the lot, before Megumi 'shouts'... ": We gotta tell the Big Guys! Quick! :"
"I'll call Chihiro!" Takano races to the residence. Keima of Net note, was about to do the same thing. Others of Net connecting attempts of note, find out something else disturbing.
"Excuse. Us?!"
Demonic Operator Krash looks over. "Third Dimensional lines are cut!" ...Operator Yellen snaps in adjunct. "We've lost access to Converter Leylines as well! Communication veins are severed too!"
Hild's nominal, and quite understandably pissed format, took in the latest report with calm aplomb. "Are you two asking for Doublet Death Sentence?"
The two Operators look back with clear terror upon stricken brows. The CEO saw and knew the reports were no lie. Even for a Realm rife with such, She as Hell all know better. Such she then considered. "Check the Spy Lines into Intracel."
A snap-too moment of this upon their 'harps' looking more like wicked versions of demonic guitars or such, before both jerk to a stop... "B-bu..." ...Yellen starts... Hild just finishes with a moan. "And they are down too. What a waste of all that..." ...the Daimakaicho stops with, then considers the impossible... "...or." ...and then raises a hand that the other Demon Operators see. (More than just two, Yellen and Krash were just the unfortunate ones of denote.) The CEO then creates a glowing blood red Connection Program Mandala, and starts to adjoin it to...
...and jitters just enough out of her perfect poker face... 'How can HE be not Connected. OUR Love... My...'
Hild then wipes away the Mandala and then looks out at an infernal holoscreen, the same relative information that Intracel saw, that was exactingly lacking in Third Dimensional data, that pertained to all events of the ongoing Mandate and Treaty. She then plies to her nominal coy act. "Oh dear Us. It seems we have to take the Direct approach to all this. Treaties are such a pain." ...and then starts to trans-phase out of...
...and then sees the shocked reactions of the Operators. No less of her encoded Soul. "Wha..." ...as a CEO...
"You can't teleport?!" ...Krash decries out. Hild reacts... "We can see that!" ...with a HARD slap to the Operators face! Such the combined tone, harsh for even a CEO's nominal standards without further worse cause to anchor such hate unto. Such the Operator look back with a decently cut left cheek. One with part of Hild's fingernail of striking hand, lodged within. Hild blinks... "Oh dear. Perhaps that was..." ...in seeing her broken middle finger nail of left hand. She then realizes properly of the Triad first... "Her. She's upon us."
Gee cried out from her station. "The Spell System adjuncts just got cut!"
Uulla, another Operator anew, of black tri-pigtail hair, also cries out. "It's useless! All lines are cut! ALL of them!" ... A third of green-yellow meshed long hair, ala Sprigga. "Spell and Energy lines are.. diagnostics... n-no, they just got cut too!"
"What about the Spirit lines?!"
"I can't read their status Ma'am!" ...Gee cried back.
Freyana, with Adonis jittering as much nearby, just can only offer. "They... they must know by now too."
Two High Gods look at each other, and the helpless feeling spreads in the Hub. As do growing tears.
": I WIN! TRULY! I KNOW ALL BY MY OWN WILL! :"
The Ash code now glowed of a Quasar running of control! Emotionally out of control! She already Slaved to the Ninth Dimensional Adjuncts. The Tenth however, was out of Her reach, at current power levels. She however didn't need to access it.
": Now the Crime will Mistake be Made, by a Princess of Tears. A Portal of Sorrow. Norn Bleeds dry of Joy. A End to END! :"
"...Hungry?"
"Did ye not eat earlier pup?" ...Hirund quips lay, Imlade blinks unto blinks, as Lind leans in... "Maybe it's not for food, there such?" ...though through a gleeped blush, Tyr manages past all the bemused stares, as he rubs at his feathery mane. "No, not that. Er... yet." ...to more smirking from a Beloved. His impart amends to... "...more like... empty? Something..." ...such he was trying to translate unto himself. Such Lind was about to give a good melon whack again, when Keiichi offers... "Maybe an ice cream treat, if it's god-dude that is buying." ...to yet more War Section best whooping and hooting. "Blue-Wing get's another Commendation for Original Thinking!" ...Sifa helps 'that' along with, to K1's chuckling unease.
"Alright my wonderful Keiichi!" ...Belldandy then gives a high five to her future Betrothed.
-SPAK!- ...comes the next unexpected moment, of celestial crew blinking replete! "OW!" ... "K-Keiichi?" ...as Belldandy looks at a strange smudge sizzle in her hand. Keiichi blinks wildly... "Holy gee! Must been some static." ...and makes immediate of putting a hand on the shoppe metallic exterior. This as two other even more newly Betrotheds eye each other warily.
"- Was that spark... gray? -" ...Lind Net snapped over, though in doing that, Imladris blinks. "Did you... say gray... or uh, hay?" ...making for anew blinking. Tyr was shaking his head suddenly at that.
Two tike sized personages are not realized yet of another problem, as Keiichi then goes to... "Okay, let's try that again Bell!" ...high-five her again, Belldandy reacts to comply, before in snap realizations of... Isa: "I can't feel Intracel." ...Bell: "-gasp-" ...Ishara/Frode: "Nor we!" ...Lind: "Something..." ...various other goddesses suddenly also don't feel, of or well thereof... as Gate: "What!?" ...as she pats at herself brusquely... Lind snapping a look back at... "Belldandy!"
"Keiichi wait!" ... "Eh?!" ..-.ZARRCH!-
Eyes are stunned from more than just the scene alone, though of the following helps ill...
"OW! BELL!"
"Keiichi!"
...that stops it all cold. Keiichi looks at something in his great love's eyes, that he'd never seen before. Period.
Fear. Of him.
Dumbfounded adjoins further unsettlement, within flashing literally as... -KHOWW- ..." : Dammit Tamiya! :" ... ": WHATCHIT YOUWS! :"
That moment after... if a pin dared drop, it might have set off even worse. This as Keiichi realizes the same split moment Belldandy does.. "What?!" ...that came from inside in nigh simult!
And then... "My power link..." ...as Jora suddenly doubles over, Lind snap seeing as all around, other Valkyries... "...so weak..." ...and goddesses norm, as Ex weakly denotes falling... "What is..." ...as does Eihwa barely can stand in trying to catch Ex, Ishara then adding into growing panic... "I can't access my diag... nos... tics..." ...she about doubles over, Frode catching her, barely keeping himself from falling atop of her!
When Belldandy does so, Keiichi... "No!" ...lunges, but to another SNAP of 'static', that about smacks him into the shoppe wall!
Lind... "Guys!" ...and starts to lunge over, but then suddenly feels her energy lines inert! Her stumble causes her to... "No good." ...and then look over, as she sees the Generals reach for their ever present, energy reserve armband bars, their versions under their work uniform cloth. Lind does so after outright, as the other Valkyries, Frode equal in note, realize to do the same, helping Ishara with her Silver Wing garnered version. Having to activate at least two for each warrior, denotes something unwanted extra of the situation. However Lind then seeing Eihwa in a badly weakened state, denotes an unexpected growl, and just as Keiichi is trying to reach for Belldandy without personal heed, Lind snaps towards... "Belove...?" ...and stops on seeing an equally unexpected sight. Mist closest sees... "What...? Gray... oh divine..." ...as Imladris's eyes are phasing into ashen...
"- MY LORDS! -" ...Frode shouts, as such a sight, is adjoined by the other High Gods in presence, one replete celestial eyes see what Keiichi does, just as Chihiro and Tamiya emerge to see... "Why are their eyes all... gray?"
": She's... here... Here... :" ...comes a 'dark' tone of a less than 'alive' sounding format, from an Engender of All. Lind then snapped. (actually all the Generals and Councilors did of War Section note.) "- GUYS! -" ...such an effect of their mutual Command Voices, such shook even Almighty out of his stupor. Frigurina held at her head just as suddenly. "O-oh dear, we waited too long."
"Perhaps..." Al-kith starts, as Lind looks back at... "Love... oh quit it already!" ...as Tyr didn't shake out of his stupor, such that Hirund and Mist help Lind affix that with a good simult SMACK to his melon! "OW... and thanks." ...he rubs at his nigh busted melon, (and Lind rubs at her smoldered hand,) before he realizes... "I think that..." ...he starts, as Keiichi remembers and lunges for Belldandy again! "Bell!" ...though Lind then reactively remembers to stumble-lunge over to Keiichi! "Stop! Wait!" ...whom reacts as well should in anger at... "Let go of me Lind!"
"Don't... hurt yourself... Keiichi..." ...Belldandy manages out, as she lains near invalid on the ground. Chihiro bolts over and cradles unto her, as Thor bellows unto... "Milord! What has She done now!"
Almighty about answers, when... "There!" ...an anew voice clarions, eyes able to look see of rushing approach, as Chihiro and Keiichi recognize... "You?!"
They managed back to the Command Level, as Eros... "Power levels must be... -ugh... !ERGHA! ...dropping!" ...as he shoves open one of the lift access Y-hatch sections, the goddesses crouching through, Eros smacking at the nearby hatch access panel for a split moment, before he follows through anyway, but to a sight that drops his blood cold. "No..."
Afar sight of the other ships, are all adrift looking, with no seeming cause. Eros sees and snaps... "What happened to them!"
"Her..." ...Sigrun remarks in a tone she didn't know, could be so morbid. "Sigrun?" ...Chrono notes of her friend's phasing eyes unto gray. Eros sees where noted, and... "Wha...? Sisters?" ...he denotes of all five Hikari Avatars, afloat above the watching helpless looking Alliance crew. He draws near, and asks... "Sisters?" ...such for the forenamed quintet of now, huddling, shaking... losing color and light.. dampening...
...crying...
": It's... -sobs- ...it's all so wrong! :" ...one of the Sisters decries in all of agony. Eros just snaps over... "Contact the Excellency! Now!"
"We can't!" ...the Energon tech decries! "We've lost Hikari Links! Network! Everything!"
Eros disbelieves, and the snap turns to... "Sigrun! Chrono! You got to..." ...he stops, when sees the two called for goddesses, give him a look of...
"Why are his eyes... they're..." ...a nearby of medium size, jerks her green and white melon at, in seeing. Such the Commander feels of something to wipe his cheeks at, feeling...
Chrono begins to feel the lack of energy, a really worried meow looking up at her. This before Sigrun also feels...
Everyone at the school, outside at recess, were looking up at the same ashen sky, a murmur of wordless dread overcoming the numerous lot. Children or younger age whined for parents... older kiths of one note... "Did a volcano explode?"
A teacher (sub) of male standard Nippon hair, responded... "I don't know, I..." ...he turns, and then sees... "Eh? Sentaro?" ...several looking and then cringing on unnatural sight of...
Said Loved, kneeling in shaking fear he didn't understand, crying in streaming tears... of... ashen... "S-s-s-s-s-Sku... lud..."
"I don't understand... I don't understand..." ...came from the other end of said loved Norn. Not noting her own eyes that warble unto hopeless... depression addled...
Rei crying... Urd 'and' Troubadour unable to move, as they both realize their respective lack of Source causes, as Urd dabbled at her own tears of... "Oh crap..." ...ashen... morose...
Ere dragged over and managed to Rei, but on glomming... "Oh Lord... you're cold...!"
"Mommy!" ...shattered out next, to Urd's breaking heart... "I... I can't... move..." ...as she tries...
Takano was losing it too on hearing, on inside near a TV set that was of gray static... "Dammit! Common! COMMON!" ...as she desperately tried to get the phone to connect through streaming tears... yet...
": I... I.. can... can't con... conne... ct... either... :" ...in staticy echoes from a Keima Net link she was losing hope from hearing. Such she was feeling the 'dead' well, within her heart... where...
"This is so wrong."
The undeath Silence of the Realm... the 'One' of Ash, unto them All. Such reached crescendo with. Of a storm at the Eye, before the Apocalypse itself cometh.
Only one Voice... ": And now, Loved of Norn... Norn of Loved... shattered and Defeated. Never again to impede me as Before! NEVER! :"
The Illogical Matrix then sensed...
"M-M-Morgan?" ...Keiichi blurted out, Chihiro blinking, as Tamiya peered over... "Oh, that was her name." ...she bonked her head with, a weak Belldandy managing bare sight in seeing.
The raven haired lass sees past the unknown to her warrior lot, as... "B-Belldandy!" ...she tries to reach for, before Imladris and Lind shift over, the latter barely catching herself in agitating weakness, the General growling... "Who are you!"
Morgan looks at the two... "I knew them before. I was... with Celestine when..." ...the Fairy Princess eyes away with. This Lind looks to her Beloved... "The Judgment Gate Incident."
Imladris eyes over, Tyr all too knowing... "This be no coincidence." ...to whit River and Flame come up, as Morgan blurts in confusion. "Wh-who are you? You feel of the gods, but..."
"This is... Tyr." ...Imladris hears from a weakening Frigurina, said of leaning on nearby siding, whether of helping or of said weakness, such Morgan widens her eyes... "His memories of you were in Celestine's own, when he linked with me. Gods!"
"I know him too!" ...Water floods out with, Imladris about to sensory realize off amnesia memory mode...
"B-Bell... dandy?" ...the next eye jerking moment, as...
"Keiichi? ...in fearful turn, when Sifa sees of them both... "Oh no!"
"It 'is' Her." Tyr openingly admitted, as Keiichi and a grasping Chihiro dabble tears of ash, from their cheeks, as if they were bleeding ash out from them! Such Morgan sees... "NO! We can't be too late!"
Keiichi seeing, past caking eyes he rubs at, as he holds fast at the shoppe siding. "H-how'd you get here from there?!" ...as Almighty adds in... "From the Gate structure itself."
Tyr tries to act fast, Immy spinning with... "Then we need to... wha... GATE!" ...as suddenly the said being, phase collapses out of sight! "No!" ...from too many that start to collapse further!
"- : I... not... un... -sizzle- ...-word acc-... ..I... -silence- : -"
"Being! ...BEING!" ...an Elder (of increasing youth,) decries of unexpected emotion, of a lost Net-feed he was growing to care for. The same as he sees another inert camera-orb disc of...
"...Kaia." ...akin to his lost wife in tone.
Kaia hugged at herself, under an equal ashen sky under Silveren Chrome, planetary capital note, as she felt cold from her attachment of her people, the Hikari energon. Of the Net granted taken... of all that loss... anger... hate... the last fleeting of a Galaxy nigh at the unforeseen precipice.
All she could do apart of feeling of all she loved, and was growing to love... "Help us Excellency." ...of hands in iconic prayer, in unknown concert...
...with a Galaxy under replete of replete ashen skies morose abound, lost in understanding of what was happening to them, all of them, with no other knowable recourse became of in unexpected concert...
...where the first Hope began to engender...
...where those nearer of Terra, knew better, and in never knowing wordless simult...
"GUYS!" ...lunged around, about to use a snap to mind Refreshment Spell, sees Almighty bade of graying hand... "No my Friend!" ...Imladris blinks, seeing of heed... "Milord...?!"
"To your Duty by Title." ...at Mighty fading, verily, Tyr outright spins back to... "Voluspa has the Gate! How...?"
"We came here from hence!" Morgan jitters terrified looks from Tyr, Keiichi, Belldandy, and back in rising panic... "So many were torn from each other... I... I..."
"We came from there knight." ...Flame adds of recognition, eyes able to look, as Chihiro even feels... 'oddly ashen', Imladris guesses... "You mean you came from... and here unto..."
"More than we expected to find, but yes." ...Morgan gulps out, but then adds, throwing a look back at... "Flame, that plannar gate spell again!" ...to whit Flame with Water's spell assistance this time, but on split moment, Lind falls, Tyr gaps a Imladris panicked vein, but is bade off of Lind's hand of... "A... a tra..." ...she loses voice to finish, enough as Imladris realizes what Tyr all too much does, and spins around on seeing Morgan activate her prior escape spell, such Imladris SNAPS out... "NO WAIT!" ...unto too late of spell activation...
-!BREACH!-
": YESSSSSS! :" ...at the sudden illogical shattering of Plannar Walls, floods out all anchoring perception at the torrential tide of infinite Ash!
"Belldandy!"
"Keiichi!"
"URD!"
"Troubadour!"
"Mommy!"
"Sigrun?!"
"EROS!"
"Skuld?!"
"SENTARO!"
An illogical moment, over the Illogical Edge! Tyr mentally rights Imladris's to see... "Oh Creation..." ...as the once strangely serene landscape of rubicon, was now a seething hyper-torrent of fathomless gray, the Screech of the Seer's Realm now utterly as the apocalyptic storm, all gray and ash, with the sight of the Judgment Gate, it's towering size utterly encapsulated in the Illogical Matrix of... Her.
It was only of said recognizing screams, and Tyr's 'rigid' help of the encoded Godsmind, that Imladris didn't shatter his own base mind, out of existence outright! Others about only so due to terrified focuses. He looks around, as he's flailing in the apex hurricane of Ash, seeing at first... "Skuld! I'm coming Skuld!" ...as a youth tries to flail desperately towards Skuld's outreached hands! The same Imladris clips sight of... "Urd! URD!" ...added... "Rei!" ...of said Norn choosing terror, as a small Seed in retracted unto into a receding light...
And next clipped sight... "I got you Sigrun! -ZHRACKHKK!- ...NO!" ...to the final version.
His sight 'slows' to the sight of Belldandy... "MY LOVE! NO PLEASE NO!" ...reaching in vain as the Target starts to 'fall' to a Seer's grasp!
"No!" ...Imladris snaps, before Water howls... "FLAME NO!" ...as the torrent screech of undeath winds, claims Flame, a helpless moment as a Flame enter the Matrix Singularity... "NAAAOOOWWWWW!" ...Water decries a shorn soul within her! Imladris... "NO! NO NOO! : NO! :" ...Tyr SNAP flares his powers to halt the Wind...
": Anticipated. Code Parameter 1231.900. Code magnetize and adhere to my Agony! :"
Like a Searing Gray Solar, all but incinerating unto a anew God!
"No..." ...a familiar Illuminara leader feels, an echo of not too long ago.
And knew how to attune against it.
She outright kneeled before the transparasteel viewport of her lavish office, with a meek prayer to offer. Such was the Illuminaran way, 'so' attune of their Savior, that repetition was quick, as 'somehow', only they didn't feel affects of, such destroying a Galaxy framework, the Alliance of life amongst.
...and quick serene aglow efforts of...
"Beloved!" ...a wracked in SEAR of a Seer, hears off somewhere in fluctuating thoughts, thereof... ": VOICE OF IMPOTENT! WILL SHEARED! END! END! END! :"
...as allied effect starts to incur out of Focus...
Heaven Felt... in prayer... Iconic.
A CEO joined in fearful tears... "Friend..." ...that Demons did of the illogical... in prayer... prayer...
It all was swift... it came fast... illogical at start... here... and then...
'You're gonna fail!' ...from somewhere echoed in his shearing mind, possible to impossible to realize, a growing 'light' that cascaded... cascaded... cascaded...
...Evolved!
All at once: ": NAY! :" ...a Progenitor screeches in seeing it's lost Egg, ERUPT out into formal sight of its current Host! The Ashen Ultra-storm suddenly meets it's unexpected match, as Evolution heeds off Soth-Incarnum form to snap... "{ : THY NOT BREAK ME! : }" ...as a Seer is SLAMMED with a focused gravitational Hypernova effect Shockwave!
The storm stabs silent and all inert, as a Seer decries! ": NO! MY... WILL IS... ABSOLUTE! -ELECTRONICAL GLASS SHATTER SCREAM!- :" ...whit everyone left, are... "We're in mid air! ...Er... mid ash... something!" ...as Keiichi realizes, to whit Belldandy all but crashes into him! "My Love!" ...as they spin about in tumbled midair-ash-somethin, as Imladris realizes in looking around... "Sentaro!"... "SKULD-ow!"...ala other all but tackled into gloms of Norns and Loved, as Urd furiously kisses Troubadour on full, before Sigrun in Eros arms, points... "URD! REI!" ...such called for along with 'fatherly' spirit, nab an inert Seed. Such Urd sobs out... "My Rei. My beautiful Rei!" ...in soft return of... ": Mommy. :"
"Beloved!" ...Lind about WHACKS into Imlade with, as he snap turns his head to see, right as Eihwa... " Gli amori!" ...outright flare zips in from nowhere, onto them both! Such a pair of happy-fearful-endearing sobbing, comes unto an anew God's smile. He notes Ex's arrival as well, prior unto... Such stabbed away from... ": PARAMETERS CELL-LINES DISRUPTED... DIMENSIONAL LINKS NULL... SPELL SCATTER OFFLINE... :"
"Excellency!" Eros snap points, as... "Sigrun!" ... "Chrono!" ...ala both meet in sudden eye, prior to all eye attest to the sight of the shattered in frozen state sight of the Illogical Singularity Matrix, all akin of a colossal ash whirlpool, kilometers in scope, surround the Seer usurper, and it's iconic broken of arch target, such... "That thing again..." ...Keiichi recognizes in Bell's steady arms.
And of nearly busted eardrums of any mode... ": DIMENSION ADJUNCTS ONE, THREE, FIVE, EIGHT SEVERED... INSGHT PULSE OFF LINE! :"
"What the...?" ...Skuld cracks, as Sentaro hazards... "Sounds like a computer crash!"
"Cousin?!" ...Belldandy looks over, as Imladris quick realizes... still in Soth-Incarnum format. "{ : The Gravity Wave... She lost her Focus. : }" ...such Lind blinks over right shoulder, Eihwa ala left... "Si! I... can feel the Soulless Network feed here. It's damaged!"
"{ : Careful. : }" ...such Imladris responds to Eihwa, while starting to phase-reverted to Tyr nominal, when further... ": ...CASCADE SUBROUTINES OFFLINE! ADJUNCT PARAMETER... ADJUNCT PARAMETER! NOOO-NOOO! :" ...as Tyr sighs out... ": You missed the chance Lady. :"
Either by mass teardrop, or flat out near moment of 'wetting', the monolithic 'Triad-V-Eyes' of the Seer snap-phase on sight, then SHIFT over to eye... ": THE ENEMY CANNOT IMPEDE MY WILL! NO! YOU CANNNOT! :"
"Uhgghhh..." ...comes suddenly, as Belldandy spins Keiichi around. Suddenly of abruptly... "No! Don't look Keiichi!" ...as the illogic matrix nearly sundered a mortal mid of only third dimension. (Such to the added save of the miracle nanites within at mind unto!) Sentaro and Eros are snap so done likewise, as Lind and Eihwa has to look away even, Ex diving in concert behind the God too, as only a Titled Knight can stand the stare. Barely.
However a God sees the desperation in sight and tone, as he tries to offer... "If you come back to us. There will be no need Gaea." ...as Imladris's knowledge incumbents unto Tyr's desperate attempt. Such unrealizing of 'all' that of prayer', now see of what is heard. One unseen gasps at the impossible hope. However the Seer FLAT OUT stares incarnate of Hate, in decaying hope of... ": Underestimate me, DO YOU STILL! :" ...to a full and utter Focus of pure Progenitor Will, such even an Arch-Angel retreats under Shell, as a formal Spell-Psychic Assault occurs! His head thrown back of pure Will of Hate alone, even blows his feathery mane back, of worse than what even wind could do! Worse his skin 'peels' of ashen gray that fights against by going all out with regenerating his skin, against such Ash spell force!
Lind, Ex, and Eihwa in huddled behind their Love/Crush/Love, hands aglow each unto his backside, as the force of Hate, BLARES all around into fearful balls of arms and limbs, shielding with all the goddess power they have!
"Make it stop Mommy!" ...Rei screeches, as Urd in Troubadour's shuddering arms can't believe... "How can there be 'that' much Hate! Oh Father!" ...as those 'witnessing' of suddenly returneth Links, wished the Net was still dead, at that moment! Enough that not even Salvation of Ascension seems to be enough.
And at the very real point of atoms shearing apart from it all... "STWOP IWT! STWOP IWT NAOWW!" ...such Tyr edges his head in seeing Water fling in hopeless apparent suicide, too late for even a word to decry, as Water... "MWY FLWAME!" ...and 'crashes' into the Singularity.
": NAY! :" ...as a 'sharp' spike-wave of pink energon, both disrupts the Seer, but also disrupts the Focus!
Enough... "No!" ...as Morgan in nominal Fair format, shoots in, but only unto Tyr to nab in halt in time, as eyes try to look again, as a Seer... ": WHAT IS THIS DETESTABLE... DISGUSTING... ABHORENT! UNCLEAN! :"
": - Title Command HOLIA-SOTH! - :" ...Tyr outright snaps an arm forward and BLASTS a combined said colored in order energon blast of size power to a Dwarf star! The size alone is titanic! Air bursts around such, moreso. The rebuke outright CRUSHES the Seer 'into' the Gate aperture!
"JEEZE!" ...ala Skuld/Sentaro in simult, before... "KICK HER ARSE!" ...ala all else 'looking' at Keiichi 'and'... "Uh... Bell-chan?" ... "You said it too Dear!" ...before eye turns back as the gargantuan beam is 'retracted' back to its author, as if it was an energy blade! Lind sees from below, behind and coos... "Teach me that trick sometime Love?" ...Eihwa nodding anime cutely. (Ex looking up just above Immy's neckline.) Imladris however reorients, in tensely raises arms, such Morgan DIVES away from, and to the next assault of... ": - TITLE COMMAND: TYR'S MISPLACED HAND! - :" ...to a full body thrust of (and comical lunge forward of twin Loves, grasping along with! Ex just got plain thrown off!) ...of a multi colored cascade of all of Tyr's apparent powers at once, in the form of a massive gravitational lensing bubble, crushing down HARD onto a torrent rush of a reforming/reformatting Seer Nexus! The outrageous sound of ungodly of infernal of energonic of heavenly of godly, collapsing spell force, meets the Screeching Ash Wail, and in the iconic meaning of Tug-o-War, twin forces of God against Seer! SEETHING energon of Titled colored power WRACKS against warbling Ashen Gray-white-black! Back and forth, forth and back! It goes on for nigh forever a good five minutes, as... "Stop this ride already!" ...ala an Apprentice that just screeches for all such! However Eros guessed... "They could be at that for entire Solars here! Geth-Cyclons even!"
"Can't have that." ...comes 'someone' that finally decided to arrive. Such Tyr sees and... ": - Heh. - :"
The Seer Eyes suddenly swivel to its right... ": WHAT?! NOO! CRIME! :"
"Eeyup." ...Almighty (formal) just makes a light 'poke' to the upper right 'Eye', and such to even mortal recognition, a Seer reacts the SAME! ": AUGHHH! MY EYE! :" ...such the comedy, and the moment Iconic merge, unto... ": - SEAL MY HAND TO FENRIR'S EQUITABLE FATE! - :" ...such the lens 'wins' the Tug of War, to a crushing response!
"Holy really freakin cow!" ...Keiichi essentially encapsulates a seemingly victorious sight. Belldandy in gushy response... "Cousin won My Keiichi! He won!"
": NO!! :" ...from the deepest well of echoed resonance, somehow still attempting to reach out, and Keiichi starting to feel a 'tug' towards him, as Imladris sees the sight that Tyr notes of... ": No. :" ...such Lind and Eihwa look up over his shoulders at him, (in between curtains of Arch-Angel feathers.) "What?" ...ala a General, eyes shift over, most of all a far too knowing Almighty, whom looks upwards towards his Friend, as Imladris 'knows' what Tyr espouses, as he sees the ashen remains of the all but truly shattered Judgment Gate, it's essential bare ghostly rubble wrecked format, 'still' all to recognizable. All even despite its pedestal, surrounding 'terrain', and parcel seen sky, all of mode of a negative photograph at a apex of nightmares, is 'seen' as something else...
...off Tyr's morose lips... ": My worst Mistake. :"
"You mean you...?!" ...Lind gasp gathers from a God's troubled memory. -spot snap images of an ancient spell gone utterly awry, of most ancient times of unlocked memory.- ...such at the moment Keiichi... "Hu... h-he-HEY!" ...is snap tugged at, Belldandy throwing Holy Bell out on snap realizing! "I HAVE YOU!"
...and Almighty closing a seen eye on knowing what was coming, phases out of sight just as Tyr RESOLUTELY clenches his electro-line infused hand at Lind's decry of... "NO BELOVE, WAIT!"
": - Title Command: Enough. - :"
Before minds can register, a God refocuses his Spell Strength, from Seer, to the Gate itself!
The next occurs as eyes and bodies are shielded of loved one and owners same, as impossible spell energies rattle off beyond akin of minds to contemplate! Lind braves in seeing a True God's power! 'My Gods. Is this what I wanted for him?'
A nigh relentless assault of lensing bubbles of Gravity... Holia... Soth... Incarnum... and then Rubicon, cascade into cascade unto cascade ala CASCADE in monolithic consequence, outright attacks the entirety of the Gate structure, down beyond the sub-atomic, infused and shredding of the encoded, angered at its reason of ever make!
Now, at the last, as a Seer echo screeched... ": YOU GO TOO FAR! TOO FAR! -SCREEECH! -" ...right as Evolution aids the rapid fire attack, with a final reverse Supernova shockwave, just as... "Singularity Pearla?!" ...Eihwa sees said artifact of Hildish enforced make, stab into the center of the assaulted Artifact!
Hild of sudden note snap appears in manic tele-flame! "DAMN YOU STOP!" ...too late as Tyr SNEERS a clenched eye rubicon, and smashes all final elements of his Epic Spell, to the point the Pearl absorbs all that was left of the energon of the assault, and then in akin to a Quasar Singularity, ejecting polar Gamma Ray bursts, all that split the sky 'and' cracked Pedestal alike! The outburst alone creates anew torrential winds... "I didn't pay for this ride!" ...ala Sentaro, right before the unfathomable occurs, beyond sight to recognize by at the moment it occurs, other than for fact the conventional occurs, at nigh lightspeed!
Ala: in simultaneous measure of speed, a VAST flood of an Ash Ocean, crashes out from the Pedestal base in all direction, the same as an Ash cloud filled sky BLASTS forth from the upper Gamma Beam... all such followed by blue in blue beyond Ocean FLOODS out, simult of a Sapphire sky without Omni directional end, unto several such seconds of almost comical to eyes cascade... unto split moments later unto a suddenly blue in angelic akin cloud filled sky, sunlight haloed all of abouts, in same insane simult speed of a land ala Eden, exploding out in simult same endless directions!
Keiichi just calmly... "WHO ORDERED THE DELUXE MIRACLE GROW! CRIPES!" ...well. Belldandys is such rare aghast at the sight, not even Holy Bell's aided vision helps justify belief in that moment. Such a moment that after a few more split seconds, almost comically mechanically acting slows and then abruptly halts, like the 'land' hit a brick wall or such.
Stunned silence... not even sound dared utter for a stilled moment.
Such ended to all sight, the Gate Affair.
...save for one 'wee' lil, iota.
A Seer's supposed champion saw it all.
": No longer. :" ...an unplanned ash-portal tele-phase in the next, as a Being sentience in the Void stirs.
Takes a lot for celestials that were in the unique position to truly see it all, lose mind for words, of what just occurred. Too focused to realize all operations were returning to nominal without much heed at that moment.
Suuuuuch the first word 'to' form, uttered from Gee. "Uh... didn't Celestine try... to... ah..."
-Under a reddening sky from prior gray.-
A Skass Harbinger (even the old titles were unlocking, ala Vakil and Valkyrian ones,) flicked her sharp lavender eye in 'knowing' what she saw, as prayed sacrilegiously unto, shuddering her black in lavender mane of length and anew lethal use, just whispered out... "That impudent Godsdamn Fool!"
Her further elven of Command, eyed each other...
"He's gonna bout to die again, right?" ...a strange black and white eyed, white in black in white checker, tri-'pole', non-pigtailed mane patterned Skass wondered.
"We wonder." ...a wee bit miffed Daimakaicho all but seethed out. About all Existence that could know to realize better of this focus, wondered. This as a God reverts to nominal power levels. Such even 'he' has to wonder, as eyes start to look around at...
"Uhhh... isn't this what we saw, uh.. in the Gate?" ...Keiichi denoted, as only two non-High Celestials ever lain on this within prior sight before. Belldandy quips out... "When we passed through..." ...such that makes Hild nearby eye them jealously of. All such however open for all present to see now. Eden within, openly formally present. Save for a cracked Pedestal base, all about is pristine and... natural of the unnatural of the sight.
"But..." ...Skuld starts, Urd... "...how?" ...added, to a finish of...
"Oh Light Tyr, what did we just do?" ...the meek nominal 'mortal' asks, of ancient shudders.
"H-h-huh?!" ...comes an unexpected voice, along with... "Chihiro... ERK!? Wha the!?" ...Keiichi looks 'back' as where they are oriented, still afloat of what was once the Judgment Gate, some tens of meters up from Eden-esc ground, the Norn lot look back at a somehow in midair partial portal 'rip-hole', stable, but phases to whence the lot see Chihiro and Tamiya with bugged out eyes, looking zip-zinger all over and about, with a sight of the fore of Whirlwind in all too formal sight! Chihiro just YELPS out! "Put my driveway back!" ...as other teardropping goddesses from before, renewed of energon, look about in floating fashion as well!
"Dear Heaven!" ...Frode can only say.
"Guys!" ...eyes shoot over as Sentaro sees... "Peorth... Ere... HUH!? The Temple too?!" ...as sight similar, of the Temple in partial portal perma-phase , Takano seen in the small and confused... "Dang, the messes get bigger anymore." ...as Velsper looks at... "He did it better than you."
"And the consequence?" ...Celestine echo wonders aloud. Several Order Section 'volunteers' looking on from the 'Temple' area portal, look down at him. And then a 'lot' of eyes start making Tyr realize what Imladris felt constantly, of all those disbelieving eye sets unto him.
This as in next gasping turn... "What's that shimmering sound..." ...Troubadour hears, before Urd/Rei snap-point... "LOOK!" ...as strange 'flares' soft aglow, burst of encapsulated pink energon that break as if eggshells that pop, revealing... "AH! Water!... and Flame!" ...Morgan cries in guarded, disbelieving glee, as the 'last two' forced into the Gate, reappear! Keiichi yelps... "I thought She got them!" ...hence both said former victims realize to see each other to a... "FLWAME!/WATER!" ...desperate happy hug unto each other! (With boiling steam to boot!) This as further flares begin all the same!
"What's going on?!" Eros yelps, as Sentaro... "Hey! My... School?" ...sees afar, another 'portal', to his school playyard Chrono suspecting... "Ah... There too!" ...eye look to pointed 'above, a portal to a seen (and crowded) Station Command Center within chamber! (With a lil meow-meow that makes echoing meow of.)
This however pales as more 'flares' become various types of people, many start scenes of cascades of unexpected joy, as happy tears and yells, cause reunions not meant to be ever occurring!
"Is what I think is happening... what I think is happening?!" ...Sigrun hazards out to the point her License 'reverberates' off of it! This as it's a telling note, most, if not all to eye, have a specific telling note to a describing eye of one that cannot Lie. "They're ones that came to the Gate to... test."
Belldandy's description, is what solidifies reality to the watching.
This 'would' be far happier to sight, if not for... "You really don't know, what you have done." ...a CEO, that eyes a Provisional God. (Even despite that entire lightshow and all.) Imladris looks back at, and defends, Lind and Eihwa not moving their eyes off of him. "You saw what She was doing!"
": Nay. :" ...comes a returneth Voice, a flare into sight of, Tyr turning as a second, brings a 'formal' Frigurina along with, all very omnipresent, and also not verily kind looking unto the Knight-God. Frigurina... "Lind."
The next startling moment, even to a CEO that has 'really' seen it all since her Formatting, wilts a touch at the sight of Imladris's feel of a Diamond Axe, edge at his neck of nape. Worse in hearing... "Such a regret if you withdraw now."
A God managed looks back at a Goddess... "W-why would I..." ...Eihwa eyeing between her two loves uneasily.
": Your actions have fathomless consequences. :" Almighty accuses, Tyr chording back... "Voluspa beheld the Gate. What 'else' recourse whit there!" ...as eye turns back to more and growing numbers of joyous reunions. The numbers surpassing fifty pairs now. Almighty infers... ": One where the Gate's remains would have been reformatted properly. :" ...this Imladris disbelieves in hearing! Frigurina tones in... "The Seer was ejected. I felt the sever occur. The Gate would have been Recoded, Reset. Destroying it outright was truly unnecessary!"
Imladris started to realize why Lind was allying him as so, his old well of panic on dawning realization, growing.
But another 'dawning' was rising in his much older soul as well. "But... She was... no... I..." ...becoming a burning well up of...
Course then if to kill the mood to something comical akin, a BUNCH of High Council flashes suddenly rapid fire arriving, such to Adonis's start of... "Are you crazy Tyr?!"
"Crimeny! This be no Council mixer here!" ...to whit allota mid air facevaults occur! Urd just cracks... "Jeeze Coz, really?!" ...Rei poking her regenerating halo melon over in cute awe.
Any Godly retort, was bonked down by the flat of a Diamond Axe! "OWW!"
"One day! One blessedly returned friggen day, Love!" ...Imlade looks back with his eyes really looking through cracked anime lenses for a moment, as Lind hip hand huffs at him. "What, today the Judgment Gate, the next you go Gut Fenrir and beget your bloody hand back?!" ...this Tyr seeing Eihwa fold her own arms blandly in echoing annoyance.
"Well if that is what you want?" ...holds his busted melon with. Hild however 'objects'... "Doing so would undo the Chains on him, and to Ye alls..." ...this Tyr waggles a comical natural hand balefully back at... "Aye, aye, Existence wide Apocalypse unto Armageddon, such I beget. Oyah."
Sight looks about, as formal presences of Freyana, Sir, Adonis, Thor and Sifa (told yah she was a looker,) Veli, and of those not seen before of late, such was the moment incumbent for their presence, Baldir, Njoror, and Twin Goddess-God pair: Iounn and Heimdallur. (Isa seeing the former from afar, 'gleeps' a look.) Such adjoined of Frigurina and Almighty astride to his aft, such Imladris feels small, to Tyr's unease in seeing the mixed facades of unease, awe, and worst: dismay. The latter affronted by Freyana... "I... told Ye all of his akin unstable affronts. Such my warnings allayed."
"Such I'm begetting to relearn why." Tyr offers, to a dry glare back from Frey.
"Okay..." ...Keiichi suddenly starts... "...really underdressed now." ...Sentaro meeks out on such a sight. Such Almighty notes too keen, and twin godly flashes of reformatting, the same of moment of all else of Intracel mode, of character nominal, Belldandy in her goddess cloth: "Keiichi dear?! Oh." ... "Wow Sentaro... ooohh." ...as Belldandy notes Keiichi's 'Celestine' robes again, Sentaro's version is godly white-red cloth akin to Skuld's own worn red and white-pink iconic goddess fashion. K1 just looks at his cloth, as Sentaro notes his replete version and quips to Skuld. "Uhhh... don't think I can do bike wheelies in this getup."
"Don't worry, I can teach yah." Skuld winks back at him with. (Such is his flush of pores and all.)
Sir just comically points lay at the two readdressed mortals... "Pardon Milord...?"
": They stand as Victims of a Violation. Such their honor in Norn Loved note under threat. :"
"What?!" ...a lot of voices spiked, Belldandy fearfully nabbing Keiichi's hands with... "What do you mean Father?!"
": Thy know the Algorithm of Truth here, concerning. :"
"Tyr's destruction of the Gate hath no known consequences to calculate!" ...Veli snaps, Imladris wilting further of struck tone from Njoror... "Plus the Gate Network is sundered due to him of Heresy!" ...such Almighty reacts, in adding one further flash of spell power, (amongst many still occurring on below.) Such... "Gate!" ...many recognize of a lass looking of staticy-spiraling anime eye that are both kooky, and near tragic the same. Imladris sinks his heart at... "No... no you DIDN'T!" ... ": Did. :" ...Almighty cradles the disrupted lass. ": She was adjunct to the Iconic Gate as well, as was her Judging function. :" Such Tyr cares not further and lunges forth with a Reset Spell in globe encoded hand. Moments of such 'reboots' Gate, as much as Tyr gets 'another' clue from the conjunction.
Such belayed as when Gate... "/ Where..." ...at first in Machiner-esc toned format of speak, before she 'formalizes' consciousness, and sees Tyr's face.
"You... you know."
...and DECKS him. (Gate Key included.)
"Owwie." Rei quips, those that turn back to see, Tyr afloat back wise of being cold cocked, Gate zipping over his format in a HUFF... "YOU... YOU... YOU CRASHED 'ALL' MY FUNCTIONS! ALL MY ARCHIVE LINKS! I NEED A COMPLETE REFORMAT! I WON'T HAVE TEA AGAIN FOR A CENTURY DUE TO YE!"
"NwOtTed..." ...ala busted nasal bloke.
"Wow." ...Takano's voice echoes out into this 'landscape', "You all really are pissed at him."
A Spaffa Orb that was also apart (more than a few now, such was all this scoop to be hath,) one reformats into a holodisplay of Kaia's holo-format. "- Dear me and us all to that conclusion indeed. -" ...such Imladris reorients with Lind's help upside his backside melon at a whack... "- Why be such of so? Did he not stop yours all of Enemy? -" ...as a few more Orbs reformat for other Galactic Councilors. (A juxtaposition between High and Galactic versions suddenly.)
"I'm confused too." Chihiro echo remarks, Tamiya scratching his head at it all.
Isa offers nearby (and 'not' going near a certain High host... Peorth and Eihwa note of this familiar unease...) "He destroyed an Iconic Artifact. The instability this will cause to... well... everything, is beyond such an knowable for us to accept beyond mere immediate consequence."
"Beyond Infinite consequence even... daughter." ...Iounn makes confirmation, such Eihwa and Peorth join Isa's 'big fat' anime teardrop in denoting. Deep 'long' raven black hair, a style engrossed of Peorth's flair, gowned underneath of akin Eihwa's, black leathers unto under of white. The stare had more of an unkind to bereft unto Tyr with, whom shakes his head, before a Diamond Axe 'bites' an edge into his neck again with. The 'cold' also bites into his 'god-blood' underneath, past god's tissue even, whit a General remarks austere. "We care not for even 'this' level of calculation uncertainty."
Such all halted further for a moment, as a singular flash occurs, before a tone from a Harp echo chimes out. Such causes for a sharp gasp for breath from... "It... it cannot..." ...eyes turn unto Morgan's hollow voice, as she stabs a look below, and locates the 'vocalization' of a harp being 'played' again. When the eyes attached to said 'voice' turns in hearing, Morgan outright forgets 'all' else and lunges down for...
"Hey... isn't that...?"
"Yes Keiichi." ...ala Belldandy, knowing he 'knows' her own shared encoded vision of Youth, from that 'last' attempt on the Gate, the static images of two that Celestine shown of to her teenage self, such in all real version of Morgan... "LYRE!" ...such said spirit harp tones out, right before Morgan just flat out tackles into him! "Lyre! It's really you Lyre! It's really you!" ...of the happiest tears she'd never want to well out again! The end of the ones she ever shed from that Day of separation. Cheers around of natural mode are abounding enough.
Baldir however raises terse objection of... "That must not stand for all sakes!"
": Why. :" ...Tyr's next tone steel-clads out, making Lind for one back off in reaction. Such Tyr espouses Imladris's belief. "Is not 'this' why for the System... the fact why we not exist?"
"You take Love's meaning too far." Hild edges back unto, before jittering under Tyr's return gaze of anger. The look between the two creates a new question amongst witnessing hearts. Frigurina looks away generally, as the flashes below continue, those reunited look on upward, as Godsminds are off kilter. Such added further by Almighty starting... ": The destruction of an Iconic Artifact is of Violation. :"
"Despite prior Incursion, I Accept that Violation!" ...Imladris outright owns to direct guilt of. Hearts and minds around are shocked in hearing!
"Jeeze! At least get a Lawyer first dude!"" ... "Yuh man!" ...Tamiya echoes a loved grease monkey in manic tone!
Even Frigurina's gaze is aghast, though a Doublet does 'not' share all such.
"Do not enforce us to Incarcerate you in kind Milord!" ...Heimdallur decries, Tyr in said kind... looks anime thoughtful at. Faces contort in further blanching, as Imladris actually offers... "Ye know Almighty, Friend... Celestine's old Cell is available for inhabitation unto. It hath a nice view of Earth when..."
": Ye Hath not such an escape vector unto, Naïve. :" ...Al cracks back, with Frig's off kilter annoyance to her facade as well! Faces eye around of akin familial attachments or accompany roll eyes at, as Lind adds in at a grind. "None by to Escape 'my' Wrath! COMMAND!" ...boggling Imladris's eye in Commanded Voice, as twelve exacting Axes phase zip appear, encircling with Honor Command owners, beholding them at the Order Arms position, none looking all that appeased at that. Tyr just balks back... "I beget NOT to flee from thee!"
"We expect not Master." ...comes next from Frode above Lind's format, as he has frame of General's Three, and a Wife as granite of face, as a Daughter gives unto Imladris. (The unkind gazes for a Strategy Lord continues replete.)
Sir however espouses next in confusion. "Hath not we answers to a question grown from this muddling chaff of events? I sense a Protection Program upon this of sudden."
": Indeed. :" ...Almighty prods, and breaks the dam that Tyr snaps a snarl back. "Thy answers come in multiple, to a singular point of 'real' Violation that is my own, unto the Violation accused of here. Be angry of me. Indeed. But 'that' accused thing, deserved to be destroyed. Nonexistent of the First!"
The stunned lot hearing, then see Tyr look at one demonic, holding the 'perfect' poker face in being looked at in turn. Such... "All such I hath be Tricked unto!"
"Ye know why, such as Us to do so." ...Hild coldly retorts .in kind. Tyr's brow turns a true shade darker, such Lind gulps in seeing such seething. "Beloved...?!"
Veli asks aloud in turn. "Ah... what be this sudden ire, other than deserved unto elder Fallen?" ...such Hild frazzles back with... "Watch thy speak of my age of ageless self, young Fool!" ...to a 'few'... well... all High Councilors balking sight of comically. Hild then accuses back at... "Heed you not our discourse that led to this Violation you destroyed?"
"Heed 'you' not, of our ancient discussions upon the core matter." ...Tyr responds 'too' calm in tone, all such turning a dime back from unease, to confusion. In turn Frigurina senses and imparts outright to her husband. "You cannot mean to..." ... ": The Truth was locked for core Reason. The Violation stands for evidence to be exhibited. :"
" Preuve?" ...Peorth quips of lay question, as Imladris replies off Tyr with... "So it 'was' all Wiped."
Mortals understand not, what the celestial side does, as Almighty infers in kind. ": Shalt be it I, that offers, to a true ill unto ye of honor? Or unto Ye, to Honor Spoken course that led to Violation of Censure. :"
"How could he be Censured? Tyr?!" ...Freyana spouts in pure disbelief! Such eyes look at a God, that sighs in kind, his brow back lain of low. "Because I went too far for the power of Love itself. It's True power."
Eyes split between what was understood, of eyes between CEO and Strategy, as Tyr starts... "You know of my Goal."
"One that Harms the Soul War in it's understood intent." Hild directs back. Tyr retorts in kind. "Despite all the discussions we ever had. Attempts to rectify what led to your Fall. The fact that..." ...halted of all sudden, when Hild outright flares Hellpower into her hands, putting all else save Almighty and Frigurina on guard, slight less so of Tyr, as Hild SEETHES... "Complete that train of worded thought, it will be the Last of the Treaty, and ALL immolated of Existence thereafter! Such is my Warning!"
Lind sure is stabbing looks between the two, as Tyr at first just stares back, and then... "If not now, finally, when?" ...such Hild thrusts back with in anger. "We were kind enough the 'last' time we were so accused insultingly. Press Us not further nay after or thereafter!"
"This fancy talk is giving me a migraine." Keiichi suddenly offers, an ill time (or not?) moment of comedy, that makes Skuld and Urd snap wackily back... "Take an aspirin and shaddup then!" ...to an off kilter moment that removed the murderous mood a split moment earlier. Eyes looking at him, see Keiichi snicker with Belldandy offering. "All will be better later my love, but first." ...she eyes her Cousin, whom gives an appreciative look back, though 'not' quite as so from even a Norn Cousin Present the same.
": Such defusing timing nonetheless. :" Almighty relents.
"My turn of it further." ...Tyr offers, as he then wordlessly spell commands forth in his palm reformatted... "His Archives!" ...off Lind's gasping vision, the immediate tall sight of rubicon helixes of orbital sets of 'crystal formats', that now look akin to small rubicon sigils, rather than flat square plates now, offers something unique to the lay or enraptured eye... "Aye." ...Imladris offers, before looking to Almighty, begetting no response other than waiting, before Tyr then phases in 'more' doppler of sight helix structures, others in set circular patterns, as if akin to rows of rows of rows of bookshelves. "Such be my present state archives..." ...before he 'moves' the archive sections 'up', in rapid seemingly endless columns of such, before shifting 'that' 'away from him, as is down a horizontal row of endless such, then another four vertical right, six more horizontal up, ten vertical left... another four more shifts of shafts of this, as Lind gulps in leaning close... and 'not' the only her, Eihwa attests, other Celestials of several Classes leaning close, the Valkyrie General crooning... "Just... how much knowledge do you hold?"
"Limited still, compared to Him." ...Tyr jerks a head bob back towards a smirking Creator. This as High Council eyes recognize to Veli's import. "Such a long traverse through a timestream as well."
"How come it's not broken up..." ...Sentaro is looked at in turn, he hazards out... "...because of all his... you know." ...such Skuld eyes him in turn warily.
"I may hath lived in Abridged formats.." ...Tyr's voice cringes a twin Loved's faculties... "...my Knowledge, did not however. Such a conundrum." ...as he localized to realize though towards...
He arrived, to an expected sight.
To Caceroth's snarling gray eye, ": So impotent. :"
": You... 'dare' return... here? :" ...of a Soulless Realm utterly spent of it's Focus. Catalyst gone. The wails of those spent and weaned of anger, acting of infinite undead cries of defeat. The 'light' here, ash gray, was direly defused, lacking much of its absorbed empowerment. And one other iota that was 'not' supposed to be, that the Wraith was supposed to know was Sacrilege.
": You... are angry, my 'emotionless' Mother. :"
What 'anger' there was, Flared of its Progenitor at... ": Do not presume my State, Child! :" ...as it seemed to reenergize the Realm outright, such that Caceroth passively endured...
The Helix train, raced to its terminal stop, one that One on sight loses its rubicon color unto Eihwa's denote... "Nero?" ...such Tyr nods to. The palm of his hand held 'tiles' that now were blackened... of a style seen before. Lind eyes over at... "Milord Infinite? His Archives were..."
": Sealed. These at risk of destroying them outright. :" ...such Tyr stabbed a look over at a Friend. Tyr accuses back. "I sense too much fear there."
": You worked too far into a needless foray. :" ...a Friend accuses right back. This before a Mighty flick of power in patched-eye, causes the darkened tiles to start phasing to rubicon pigments aglow. Such also unlocks their truth within, for a chilling owner and author, as Imladris chitters out... "Now... I-I know why we over did it in Celestia that particular day." ...Almighty this time, has no laugh to give. This Tyr blinks and looks kookily over.. "How come I remembered 'that' much?"
": I remembered for you, mindful one. :" ...making Imladris and Lind trade a look, before the former looks 'into' his released Archives, whit he deeply sighs at.
"What?" ...Thor questions in confusion, Sifa trying to garner anything from what even 'they' of High cannot comprehend somehow. "I'm having difficulty encapsulation this information to my own understanding."
"Can any truly fathom what really 'is' in another's mind?" ...Tyr offers, despite the hazard to Lind's auspice, this has he psy-'plucks' a Sigil crystal out from the helix afore, such the familiarity to the higher lot, or of an akin Artifact shape now of attended Violation. Lind however realizes... "This is why you have no personal Sigil."
Even Tyr realized what Imladris hath of eureka. "A-aye." ...as the Sigil then splits into a smaller helix, and 'that' it plucked from it mentally, three 'shards'. Such Tyr shudders in extracting. The first he floats forth as akin to a data recording.
And wordlessly activates it...
": YOU PRESUME TO CONSIDER MY WILL, SLAVE?! :"
": I come to end this farce. :"
A Seers screeches her Soulless Realm, right at an insolent child. An effect of all that remaining stored power, outright belayed, then trapped by... ": Parameter Adjunct: 21/A-7. Command: Absorption. :" ...such to a Seer's illogical shock, when absorption portals snap appear about the Wraith!
And then remorselessly drained upon. ": MY STOLEN POWER! -SHATTER SCREECH ANEW- :"
Caceroth just sneers even further to drain by. By deliberate emotion now.
Tyr saw himself, another Life in baleful eye...
Log 1,413,741, 422 - 4,726th Life Facet: '- Looks like I finally proved the Council wrong. Maybe Almighty my Friend too. Not sure there though.
-Deep sigh-
...I... guess I had it coming. Hubris, the falling of too many a sentient, High, Mid, and Low alike, be my turn of it. -'
Eyes amongst that see, then hear to dismay of foundations of that Intracel was for. What Nidhog combated. Where mistakes were all about to be had.
Tyr forces Imladris to witness, as he looks literally at himself, almost too real looking for a hologram. Half size, all the emotional echo: '- I went too far, in my recent Quest to prove Love, was the one weapon that could allay the Seer, possibly permanently. I may have... ignored... Heaven, I didn't listen. May it haven been Svahn's import, or... lacking of my own to her... the attempts to discuss upon Lady Hild of the need for use of Love as the blade that the Seer couldn't combat. Such my ego overcame my better sense, possibly aided of Godsmind gone spell driven. Of whatever the case, Hild listened to me, and then demanded I show proof of this 'weapon', that I had my encoded ego set upon unto.
Such I became blind when I set to enSpell a test to prove this by, but didn't realize Hild had apparently, and possibly literally, Hexed my drinks we shared, in those hours of many discussion. Small doses, enough to effect as per poison, that seemed to target my enSpell test itself. I can only conjecture this without actual proof, such that in witness of several of the High, and her of Low, I produced an enSpell Program with intent to prove that those beyond borders of sentience, could prove Love wherever it may have engendered. -'
Hild weathered the looks she was lain upon, as Tyr's shudders reverberated through Melded Love, worse on report of: '- However the result of the enSpell, turned into an Artifact, not of wanted intent of Iconic proof, but to a 'test', that proved restrictive, far more than I ever thought would be fair of those it was meant for.
In essence, I was fooled into creating my own nightmare. -'
The mood wasn't lightening up any.
The Seer's screech seemed unending.
The Wraith's anger, was finally allowed to be genuine. ": HARPY OF CONCIET! You dare presume yourself beyond emotion, when all the time of Eons over Ages, you prove how False you have been in Jealously, all eternally long! :"
Voluspa whines in painful howls, of energon drained from her, as Caceroth makes his choice. ": All this time as well, hiding the fact of my Truth from me, of my Shard, until the moment of Conjunction, before a Nemesis that in fact, Defeated US, prior to acidic ascension shredded our Focus of Destiny! In fact of fact, all of ALL this time, Ye hath not proven capable of Defeating the Nemesis, out of endless chances begotten, only to be Ejected by the likes of HIM! :"
": R... release me... :" ...a Seer... begs?
Caceroth snarls in kind in turn... ": Your only Release, for the End you crave, is to know you shalt no longer be the party of control ,to the End of this endured and Tortured affair! And I, no longer a Pawn to failed machinations that have only wrought further time against us both alike! :" ...to a furthered intense drain!
The impossible seems to be occurring...
Log 1,413,743, 424 - 4,726th Life Facet: '- Well... now I know how it looks like from on below. Awe inspiring sight from the Platform below. Not that I dare blame the Council for what had to be done.
I've been Censured to Lower Council status. I'm surprised I wasn't Incarcerated. Such personal demand somehow ignored. My offering as such into the evolutionary path at least, was met with consternation. -' ...this Tyr snickers a touch at the irony. Bout the only bloke that uttered anything.
None to be had on hearing: '- I see my folly. The lesson I seeked, isn't at hand for me to realize now. And certainly not for I to adopt to Wisdom for any other to heed. Apprentice Freyana for one isn't kind of heart to my presence. Apprentice Baldir a mite less so than.
Almighty also had barred me from further visitation with Hild. I imagine the Fallen lass has had her victory tune, for times to come. All the better for her. -' ...a Demoness withering another ill set of gazes. And to the seemingly last... '- As for the Artifact... the... detestable thing, will remain as a statue to my Folly. I am told, it 'is' possible to pass the test set within its encoding, though... I refrain of what it will take to succeed through. To what reward, at the other end, I am remiss in lacking allowed knowledge. A torture I must endure for... forever I shalt suppose. Fitting.
Wisdom does not ally me here. Neither does this ill pain to Godsmind. I need a curative for it. One of stiffer vein that my own ill self. -' ...the second recording ends by.
A 'smirk' comes across a pair of focused Loves, for their own reasons.
She was... passing out of...? Phasing out of...?!
": Nay. Nay, not as so... 'Mother'. :"
...after a final 'pull' of siphoning the Seer's own Power Leylines, the System suddenly does dusk, as all drain ceases. A Seer's illogical matrix looks utterly spent. The cries of the damned fall silent of energy to cry of. Bare moans replace all, as Caceroth offers... ": Such a pity, that you cannot Die. Indeed, I know of this,. Progenitors are named such, for a reason. :"
The Seers manages to eye her... ": Son... I... :"
": I AM NOT YOUR SON! I NEVER WAS! :" ...such 'he' in turn was aglow of stolen Power. ": The Crime you decry, is now yours to suffer, as I complete the Task. Properly! :"
And then, unexpectedly... The ash falls from the Wraith, as something 'else' begins to replace it. A glow of amethyst, sickly purple, and of a newborn proto-Sun of ire growing. ": No longer a slave of deluded power. I Claim that will be Equal to my Nemesis, and from hence, Proper will COMETH! END to END'S BEGINNING! :" ...with a amethyst portal tele-phase, that coats the Soulless Realm about the Seer in a lavender cancer! Thereafter a sickly purple aura coats the dusk interior of the remains of the Soulless Realm.
All left to fester in stunned format...
"You missed your chance lady." ...came the next unexpected (though it really wasn't surprising,) tone, as Hild jerks a dire eye, at Keiichi of all souls, as Loved 'and' Norn eye back sternly. More than a few minds and smiles bestowed, in knowing kind.
Hild recognized this, and... "Indeed. Congratulations. -eyeing off key back- ...while it lasts."
Keiichi cocked an eye, Belldandy blinking, as the next sound heard, was a recording 'not' meant of intention to be played. Such Tyr notes... "Wha...?" ...as a mind of Omega turns to the last page of, to the chill of none to bravely bear.
Log 1,413,823,473 - 4,726th Live Facet (Final Recording:) "- *SCREECHING SHATTER SOUND* -"
"No..." ...of a Beloved, suddenly grasped upon by a Bianco another. Tyr tries to kill the feed, but: "- Well... -HOWLING ECHO- ...the Seer knows her game. To think a Quasar of all things, to access Nibelhiem. Imaginative. -tone turning remorseful, accepting... iron.- It... seems it is time again. Merry-go-round the Dwarven vats and mead tables.
-A long moment, sound only of the worst energon build up one can stand of nightmares soon cometh after-
No more time.
I... want to know for whatever posterity this bloody is well worth... I 'am' truly sorry for the cause of my Censure. I'm obviously missing something in the Algorithm of Love, that caused all that occurred. -HORRENDOUS SHEAR PULSE- ...and to those I harmed in something I never should have meddled with. As to my own words, evolution applies to all, and such never is done swiftly. -ELECTRO-GLASS SHATTER SHEAR- Maybe if I felt what I espoused I... I...
...Svahn... dear Svahn... -Strange echoes of voices only Tyr, and one 'apart' of a Loved, can understand. All others trying in listening, are losing their fight with tears.- ...I'm... sorry... Light... I just realized... just... -HIGH SHATTER PITCH RISING CRESCENDO- ...I'm so sorry Svahn.
-BREACH-
I Think NOT Seer!
: IMPEDE ME NEMESIS! DARE OF IT TO RUIN! :"
-!Empowered response!- ...LET US TEST THAT! TO THE END OF US BOTH! -"
The 'end' of the recording, causes unexpected consequence! "Belldandy!" ... "URD!" ... "SKULD!" ... "Are you okay Sigrun!" ...from Norn Loves, as they and 'every' celestial grasp at their chests, save one.
"I... I..." ...Hild starts with no tears held back, Lind sobbing out... "...you died! You died.. no... no..."
Such Tyr looks back somberly as even Almighty has to recover from the Network backlash that SLAMMED the Net, right there and then. The curse of that event, isn't sparred beyond them however. Frigurina for one is hyperventilating, as far as such a goddess can be seriously convincing of!
"That was even more wrong." ...Takano afar badly wishes Keima was there to hold onto.
"To think, the Milky Way was akin to a Quasar effect once... what... three some billion years ago?"
": Nay to needless conjecture Friend. Such ill benefits the moment at hand. :" ...Almighty tries to make light of. Tyr just shrugs, then turning back to one that (for the moment) bore his Ring. "Ye... sure of still, to want my Course in hand so adorned?" ...he offers to a shaking Valkyrie.
Her eyes tell no lie.
Still... only in moments of Defeat, were they less so. Such a Seer was so... weak... to realize much beyond her own ken. Only Invasions failed, saw all such of this. This as another Day wordlessly passes.
Save for...
-A soft, rising chorus of decry-
": ...foreseen. :"
"Heaven yes." ...past a burst flicker of tears.
Tyr blinked, as Imladris sure gulped at. Lind looked at her love squarely. "I... ah..."
"Our story together, hasn't even begun naïve." ...Lind grinded back, to a lot of really needed smiles, at that moment.
Not that they last... "K... Keiichi!"
"Wha..." ...eyes stab back, as Keiichi is grasping at Belldandy's hands suddenly! "I'm... having trouble holding onto you! How...!?"
"Father!" ...Belldandy cries out, Almighty in turn sighing warily. ": Tis as feared. :"
"What is Father?!" ...Skuld yelps, before Urd then gasps, along with Peorth afar, a moment after. "They... they passed the Gate..."
"...and now it's destroyed. They..." ...Peorth comes to the same dire conclusion. Frigurina clutches fearfully to her Husband's shoulders. "No! Not them! Not... no..."
The next, Almighty imparts... ": As said, the Violation hath unknown consequences. Such one obvious note now. :" ...and to the horror of the onlooking, the Master of All forms a glowing code ball of deep Blue, and Opal code strings.
"Our... our Contract." ...Belldandy gasps to her mouth with! This as the sight of... "No! It can't be unstable!" ...Sigrun decries in recognizing, as the code strings are visibly fluctuating! Tyr feels in his crashing heart. "No please no please no no no!"
": Indeed. :"
Worse when Keiichi nabs at Belldandy, and partially phases right though her!
"Keiichi!" ...from most around, a mother most terrified of all! Urd: "Stop it! No please!"
": Worse, their bond shattered, will reverberate through all else in the time stream, they hath ever know in touch. All will suffer this ignominy. All hath no Escape from this Ill. :"
"WHY YOU...!" ...Troubadour outright blames at a knight, whom accused stabs past with... "But the Mandate! It can't!"
": Say you wish not for this? :"
"Dare you such a question?" ...a mortal plead plies through Tyr's blank of mind own. Almighty juts his head forth with. ": Such to your Violation, Censure amended? :"
"Do what you will." ...Imladris grinds back. Such however turned on the table with... ": Nay. What 'you' will of them All. :" ...as he cups his hand over the Contract orb, and 'implants a mini-scale replica of the Yggdrasil Tree Staff, gasping even Hild of note. "You're releasing the contract from direct Archives?"
": Only for 'one' here, that can take Charge of. As was Tasked all along. :" ...such the Orb is lain before a suddenly shaking God. "But... but this means..." ...he looks back, only in time for Keiichi making far too effectual mimic of Marty McFly, of temporal erasure note, of his own hands!
Belldandy no less.
Imladris reacts before Tyr can think, and grabs the orb, snapping out: ": Title Command: Love gained, from Knowledge Lost. Sorrow Remanded! :" ...as a new rubicon-gold code string set, encapsulates upon the Orb. In moments thereof...
"Hey!" ...seeing his own hand 'return'! The same of a HUG! "Keiichi! I'm so sorry Keiichi!" ... "Bell... WAGGH!"
Such, a mixture of happiness, relief, more in between, as all save one again, realize... "Too damn close." ...Urd makes tearful shudder of, her look at a miffed Spirit more than amicable akin. This Hild nodding, then looking back at the engender, whom is anything but collected in manner. Hild eyes Almighty in turn. "The games even I hath learn from, is it?"
Almighty only looks back, then shifts unto... ": Now, all consequence of the Mandate, is in your Hands, my Hand. :" ...such Imladris can only look up hollowly.
"- Add Thy responsibility to thine of Ire of Love My Frigid own! -" ...a sudden addition, before frayed nerves can react as a General hand clasps over the same orb... ": NO LIND! :" ...whit an additional icy code ring adjoins to the others anew! If all weren't shocked enough... "Daughter!" ...ala Frode's own dismay, Lind resolutely adding to eye of a shattered in mind Tyr... "You do not offend this Violation alone now. We shalt share in its consequence... Love." ...said from a General toned of 'all' but loving. Imladris is left looking about at various affected or related in helpless mode.
Such of how trapped he now felt. "But t-t-this means..."
": Violation Judged. :" ...Almighty started, then on colder remand, both of feel and tone. ": Thy are reprimanded of Provisional Status for one Solar Day of Cyclon, as you term such. All such worlds commanded are of thy affected. Thee are advised 'not' to conduct of Power, until time thereafter. :" ...the One-eyed glare unto a Friend of lost spell shimmer is not remised. ": Unwise, to breach all such further. :"
"A-aye." ...a suddenly outright disempowered Tyr relents to a nominal mortal that knew better. Rare did Lind feel of such impotency of her Love. Eihwa however uttered. "Così quello che ora?"
": Perhaps time to think away from direct eyes. :" ...whit before any could react further of 'that' further, Imladris is outright Blink teleported away! Lind and Eihwa for two... "Belove!/ Mio caro Dio!" ...before they then hear... ": Look to thy past of Summer retreat, where I last adjoined you all in Joy. Love of the waves they do crash of. :"
It took only a moment for the two to realize off what that meant. Boy, they were so gone on spot after. Sure left Frode spinning about. "Bilmey!" ..hazarding a laugh from wife and remaining daughter.
Thor raises a finger. "Does thou mean we lack our Lord of Strategy again?" ...whit Sifa WHACK a hubby in kind. "Ye muddle code-brain! A mere day! Listen!" ...whit Frig rolls her own eyes. "Thank ye Sister." ...Sifa nods cutely at. (And Thor feels if his eyes are still in his head.)
Next however cause Belldandy knew to have Keiichi hover near, said mortal of note then asks aside Belldandy to a side looking Sifa. "Pardon, but... does all that really mean that..."
": To all obvious consequence. To 'all' of Consequence. :" ...that more than just Norn Loves shudder in cold realization. Rei just however quips of next obvious. "So, what does that all mean for them down there?"
Eyes look down enmasse at a lotta bunch of reunited, and teardropping loves. Peorth just of added teardropping note, quips. "Oui." ...whit Almighty pops a kooky finger at Rei. ": A good query lil lass of light and many kittypillers. :" ...as such an enlightened lass suddenly is pop-spell covered in literal namesake caterpillar shaped/sized kittens, that roam-meow-purr-crawl all over a suddenly laughing mad light-kith. (And soon Urd and Troubadour, and then off wacky whim, Skuld/Sentaro, and then Chrono whom tries to zip away, with a CLOUD of the lil things chasing right after her. Sigrun-behind-Eros: "Hide me." Kei just has one circling mewingly atop his melon for Bell to giggle at.)
Even the High Gods look on warily, as Almighty looks first at... ": Such hath all Rectify a Violation that led as such. :" ...at a CEO that looks hardly amending to being addressed so, before He then looks at Keiichi, and asks... ": So, Son-In-Law to be, thy that be the 'only' mortal to pass the now Defunct Gate. :" ...whit K1 and Gate trade an off kilter look, before... ": How would Ye best think of how to give these destitute souls beyond Time's grasp, be best allowed their continued existence. :"
"M-me?" ...Keiichi gulps in self pointing denote, a look at Belldandy blinking back in kind with. "Such would be an honor. They all don't have a true home now. Such for most, such a period of time has now past, they are akin to Cousin in being such out of place for it all." ...this they both look down at Morgan in Lye's arms, both of they many looking up wondrously. (And of said more species together than imagination could easily come up with. Hath fun with imagination there.)
Keiichi looks thoughtful and quips. "Huh. Now that you think about it. I..." ...and looks 'about' at the anew landscape. "Ah... wait... did this place... er... that place... you know, ever have anyone ever in it?"
The inference was upon Almighty's smirking facade, such He remarks back. ": It 'is' of note of all notes, a place 'you both' would be right to make Claim to. The use here has no other such mode now. :"
Keiichi blinks, then realizes... "Uhhh... She looks like she could do it." ...as one besides Mighty Lover looks... antsy. Quivering even. Hild sees and rolls her eyes. "This makes of antacid with acid." ...such Hild flame teleports away with. Freyana cracks out. "Put some Hemlock in with it Low-Yutz!" ...which Adonis waggles a finger. "Manners my Love." ...with a 'what' look back from Frey.
To the now rising wacky point, as Almighty quips off kilter anime lay. ": Hmm... gee... one should wonder at that, whom present Be of Thoust to Conduct artistic creative impulse upon a newfound Land where and whence none was meant to Be, yet all hence here and now. Hmm... whom indeed of faculty indeed here. :" ...looking even more out of place anime thoughtful, to some amounting teardrops around. (Nevermind a Second Seat about to pop like a held in check firecracker filled soda bottle or something.)
Peorth remarks off kilter bemused. "C'est trop évident." ,...whit Keiichi lent of release. "Ah... what about Frig there?" ...whit Al just lay quips sidelong. ": One should suppose... that be, if you my Eternal Love, wish for such given honor. :"
"Yeeessssss!" ...Frigurina anime big-mouth YELPED, right as about a thousand mini-Frigs shot off like a fireworks blast shooting all off at once! (Like rapid fire effect even. Sounds to boot.) Such became a scene of reformatting, landscape sculpting, lifeform emplacement, and ALL the iotas of world creation! The lot of Returned Loves (such they were latter Classified,) huddled together in kooky fear on the cracked platform, as Almighty noted... "Guess that made her day." ...K1 quip to Bell, as the remainder of Frig was kissing Al over and over and over and over and... you know. Urd and Skuld (with Loves attached,) huddled, as Rei kept float-rolling about from uncontrolled kittypiller laughter. "Great, we won't hear the end of this for forever." ... "Y-yeah."
Below, Morgan quipped to Lyre. "And... such begins our new life... again." ...such Lyre toned a few lyre plucks without even needing a hand, such was Morgan's snicker. As such, a new land, (and even a township hamlet such was added under Frig-alluded mountain vista,) as Flame/Water were introduced, moreso same for Puri'shina and Drout, before more introductions are made around, then Belldandy taking Keiichi down to meet and greet with more paired souls of racial profiles than he thought he saw back in that Galaxy adventure.
This amongst some High iotas that Almighty actually 'shooed' the lot away from, as Frig was too Creative Happy to be sane to look at, nevermind the whole bit about repairing all those Subspace tears, (cause Chihiro yelled bout it again soon after,) and rejunctioning of Energon Adjunct Bus lines with the Third Dimension and all. Amongst other iotas Voluspa messed with.
However a 'few' other iotas were 'not' fixed upon. Their effects were to be soon enough in consequence. A global one left to evolutionary devices of coming note. Thus such a Creator Master denoted to Keiichi. ": Thus is of time of mortals to prove their own world, or of not upon ours, by their own Consequences. Guardianship will Protect where required. :" ...such left a truly open question of note there.
Of another...
-One terrified evening upon a shoreline-
He had begotten a lack of understanding, after all this time, of the things he saddled himself with. Even if per his own gross actions. This as a still self professed knight, above all other titles, just gazed out over at the Pacific Ocean before him, on the shoreline of the same beach, he remembered those wonderful memories of. The beach party that the entirety of the Morisato clan, at that time, smaller in number, no less rowdy, or cherished, attended to all joy of hearts, and sun caressed (or baked) skin. This before the past events that should have traumatized, yet rather, made a Clan ever stronger.
And now another, off of several other events, that all seemed to transpire to an end, that caused Imladris to hold in his right hand, looking at the glowing orb of blue-gold, to eye over, of his consequence, of an act that Celestine himself hath been punished for prior. Now, the spell imposed result, of an act that Imladris had no other choice in conducting.
Imladris just sighed, seeing of the Intracellic code orb, within a wing festooned symbol of a mini Almighty Staff, the same of the symbol of the Great Tree of Yggdrasil, floating within the spell orb that represented the Contract that held an entire family together, off of the love of two iconic souls that he hath pledged far more than life of his own, to defend. The spell orb, was nothing less than what it was. The same of the rotating code strings, of Almighty himself, orbited further, by those whom he called Bound, unto. The icy spell fringes, literally frosting from this extra code ring.
All this, a more than indelible symbol, of a final act of acceptance.
Consequence...
...hope...
He just sighed, as the light of evening, off the eastern sea, drew close enough to formal night, prior all such, was as muted, as his own wary heart.
And he sighed again... and a third...
"What have I done."
Memory plied, like a faucet, being squeezed of all fluid contents. Such they flowed as such...
A palatable grunt reached his ears. He sighed. "Bugger."
He turned enough aside to look back, seeing a Confessed. a White Goddess behind, both looking lay, (and behind that, a leaning behind afar lifeguard post shack of non-use of season, a third silver tressed goddess Third Class that was watching worried kooky far.) Such that Imladris gulped in seeing, then looking semi away with. Such all was lent to sound only of the ocean tide, and light sound of few birds that conducted their evening search of meal and life belonging.
All only such broken by... "I'm... played the proper Fool."
Lind stood there calmly, her read of a love's mind reduced due to disempowerment. Even Meld links were disjointed of feel, such was the Violation Judged on. Imladris just looked at the Contract orb again, and shrugged. "It... Heaven of it all, I'm addicted to Sacrifice. Such I realize here and now. The importance it all alludes to. Such I realize what this all becomes of."
He looks back, sees both (three really,) goddesses are nay of any movement. His own ability to sense what Lind is thinking nullified. He then looks more 'within' himself, and then comes to the realization. "I... wasn't listening to you all. About... not Sacrificing. I... apologize for that." ...and then looks up, offering with what he thinks is his best attempt of vocal offering of... "I no longer wish for that. I... have had enough of the tears it causes. I... will try to prove this... somehow. Someway."
The looks he gets back, doesn't change any. It starts to confuse the knight, whom he can only guess at... "Well... such all I can offer here." ...as he then looks down at, and then 'clutches'/the Orb, to collapse into 'himself'. Such he accepts to bear of final responsibility for the Contract .Of 'all' it's Consequence. He then realizes... "I better tell them... I..." ...he then tries to move.
...and promptly falls over backwards. "Uff...
...can't... move... ah crimeny..."
The next thing he senses, and only sees off his left of vision, where his head is plopped on said side of, is twin forms that walk over... and then sit down.
"Ha usato tutta la sua energia." ...he hears from his 'right' side that he cannot see. What he does see, is Valkyrian boots, and then sees the attached goddess sit down, giving him a 'view' of... "Ah... love..."
A light nodding grunt. Immy: "I can see your... uh... ah..."
Another coy grunt in turn. Immy further: "Can... can you move so I don't see your..."
Given Lind does 'not' move such, and even 'moves' her jumpsuit cape tails about to have even 'more' of such a view of 'curvature', doesn't help Immy's facial pores any. Such not aided further with... "Our Cavaliere is suffering well."
"His lessons are only beginning." Lind relents back. Eihwa not helps even further... "Can they soon be 'our' lessons?" ...an 'accenting' grunt back, makes for thoughts in a 'trapped' knight's melon, make him squeeze his eyes shut! "When do I get my energy back again?"
Such all how is left, as night becomes of them. (And Ex checked in by Ere to whit then left to such seemingly boring enjoyment. Hardly at all of such fact.)
A Void returned, this time with far more freedom of Hate in his soul. The amethyst glow about Caceroth's form giving his evolving format of former ash, a froth of new Ire. ": I hath be Free. Now I hath to conduct unto a Nemesis. One of first step. :" ...as he raises an arm... ": Reformat, unto False aspire. :" ...with a new flare of ash-code like power, sending a new Wave towards the conducted Being.
The gray pinpricks of 'light' began to normalize. Caceroth decided to do it all differently now.
": But the 'lie' will remain. :"
He also decided on his further next act. ": More Power. :"
-Past eve...-
The only 'moonlight' here, was of white goddess make. Defused as of a luminary device set at a very low level. If not for such from Eihwa, 'no' light would exist there at that moment. Such only aided further by far of rear street and building lights that did not dissuade enough of the partly cloudy sky, that shone broken fields of stars above. The afar winter waves capped and frothed to and fro, little else of 'any' other sound now. Such a set of eyes that now looked afar, only bare night vision of mortal mode allowed much detail beyond what alluded.
All such allowed as a mortal found his body enough again to move to a sitting position. (The prior 'position' in the darkness was pointless now, of hazing note.)
And such left to sit, and to think. Only that.
And such left to just three sitting there soon after. (The 'fourth' leaving for propriety of kindness note silently.)
Time lost to them, as little else than to empathy of company. If only the 'mortal' could feel the bliss aside of him both. Though for his part, Imladris just offers a content sigh at one nodding point.
All such was serenity.
At peace.
"Here you go amore." ...Eihwa offers, as Imlade whines a tic too much... "We could have walked you know." ...whit they land within darkened Temple grounds, at an obviously late hour. Lind just flicks at his ear lightly. "Stop complaining." ...whit Imlade offers objection anyway. "But the songbird method is so coy and..." ...before the next 'flick' was upside his head. The dizzy eyes might have a cause from that.
Eihwa looks about, as even the new extravagant grounds are suffused without fail. "Everything looks in order again."
Imlade gets out... "Quite, give all that... YEEK!"
": SURPRISE! :" ...from so out of nowhere! Nevermind the !BRIGHT! flare of High God induced light, that... "HiIyyYeeWhaDA..." ...Immy gets out before dizzy plopping to the ground! A lotta streamers and confetti fall with him.
Ishara looks down, commenting past a kazoo in her mouth. "Maybe a bit too much."
Lind just YANKS him up. "He's being soft on us." ...as Imlade just warbles from sudden induced party concussion! He then looks around... "Wha...?!" ...at the sight of... well... everyone of possible note! Valkyries, Vakil, Gods, Goddesses, Seed Avatars, mortals of vein - Galactic and terrestrial by holo or of present flesh! Even an orb load of Spaffa all about even! Imlade off Tyr's blank offering... "Wha.. what is all this?!"
"A surprise party Master!" Sigrun offers, as Sora comes up and... "Here, looks like you need this." ...plops a large cakeful of plate into his pale hands. Sigel and Banpei come up with forks and napkins each. (Lotta cakeful plates about.)
Frode offers next... "Tis was of intent for tonight anyway, as your first official end of your returneth day." ... "Herero Cheer!" ...Ishara/Jora chime in!
Imladris strikes a baleful glance at... "But you cut off..." ...at Almighty, with a hop bunny happy Frig next to him (should be creatively obvious why,) as Freyana offers of mini-self mode... "Means not you are not 'he', eternal one." Adonis raising a glass of a meadful concoction arise! "Here's to Tyr's return!"
That was certainly one Cheer, that a temp-mortal didn't expect!
"- To our God-Excellency! - SAYETH NEVER DIE! -" ...from Kaia, then a (somehow) cakeful laden Galaxy at large! At least the Councilor ones... might 'really' be a Galaxy citizen soul full of cake laden, at that literal point. (Flavor cake palates of citizen souls vary.) More than a few terrestrial souls about mimic the same anyway. All of one emotion: Joy.
Imladris just sighs in happy enough resignation. "Aye. All such I hearken in turn, my... yes... family."
That got the light hearted soppy works going. (Chihiro and Tamiya looked kooky with shared anime tears.)That before he raises his glass for them all, and downs said concoction. And not only he.
And such not only that makes of comical coughing replete, as Megumi manages out... "W-wow! Strong stuff!" ... Keiba feeling his eyes swim in his brain now." Satoko and Otaki sure shared the effect, dizzy eyes in each other's cake laden arms. (Looked weird.)
Imladris however a moment after coughs ply off, and hair of the dog settles in, looks at his glass. "Huh. You found the DR 1209 shtuff."
": Only the best! :" ...Almighty offers, before stumbling a tic. (Uh... wait... what?)
Lind looks over from her glass. "Is there more?" ...Almighty nodding his head back at a good ten casks of the stuff. Thus seen as Urd has to be hogtied down by Skuld-Sentaro-Troubadour in turn! Imlade sees... "Huh... wonder how mad those dwarves will be for... eh?" ...as Lind 'and' Eihwa hop over to fetch more! Imlade... "Oh muffins." ...teardrops.
From all such, apparently the late hour meaning zilch for those of immortality, or nanites working nigh towards the same, as all sense of prior events are melted away in favor of what a Morisato denotes of at one point, amongst all those various characters of this story. "Looks like everyone feels good." ...to a Non Loved glom. (Rosy cheeks included. Given it's not cola, gee...) "Indeed... oh... my Keiichi. -hic-" ...as their eyes lain on the center of a Party, that was cloistered sure full with zilch escape vector to allay.
Such even of eye of the mini-High group even, such mini-Thor begot a WHACK to a backside with annoyed laughter. (And thank goddesses for spell saving chiropractor visitation. Shattered spines are no fun. Disempowered mortal and all, remember?)
"I can't remember feeling so happy like this." ...begot from Ichigo at one point. Fusuchi nods too readily, as Skuld/Sentaro drag away a crying Urd and all in the background.
Such all eventually relents to, past a merry celestial version of Oktoberfest or such, that Imladris eventually saunters up to... "Ah..."
"How's the party... er... god dude? God or gold dude, not sure which." ...Keiichi quips, at the point the nanites can't keep him from being plastered now. Belldandy eyes in similar growing fashion, as a mortal-god-quasi-something more offers... "Tis all verily well. I just... ah..."
"Your continued offer of protecting us... -hic- ...is truly ever appreciated." ...Belldandy beats to the spike punch. Imlade of more... "Well..."
"We're lucky to have you forever, as you really want for us now." ...Keiichi adds in jumping measure. Imlade looks of agape and finger pointed up and stuck in place and all. (Loss for words does that.) He then moves unto...
"No... -hic- ...kneeling. High gods don't... -hic- ...kneel." ...Belldandy catches 'that' in time of. Imladris just sighs deflated again. "Ye are both my ever betters." ...to more than a few smiles around, and a few hics along with about. (Was weird all those cute hics popping about everywhere now. Like some weird one cylinder engine skipping and all.)
"And also..." ...Imladris starts... "Good cake huh?" ... "HAH! Pie! I was thinking pie!" ...Imlade wacky cracks at K1 with, before quickly relenting. "...and actually aye, divine good at dat." ...to a Bell-chan giggle-hic.
": Thy Hand? :" ...cometh from said source, such Imladris looks back. "Aye?"
.-!Splut!-
...off blinking wacky surprise, off next with... ": As ye sayeth. :" ...as a good lower portion tin of an actual cream pie plops down to the ground, leaving 'more' than a creamy face full remaining! Such even a good splattered bit over two Norn Loved behind him too. (Belldandy sure blinks at the rare occurrence. Kei is more kilter eyed nominal of it all.)
"Oh dear. -hic-" ...before she actually reaches over, as most can note two banana cuts are where his eyes should be. Both K1 and Bell then dab into Imlade's 'face', and... "Umm... banana crème." ... "-hic- ...yummy." ...such before Lind and Eihwa hop over and start taste testing such off Immy's creamed over face!
"Ymmeth." ... "Per certo."
What really sets it all off is a 'mouth' that opens in the creamy whip with... "Uhuh." ...to a resounding chorus of laughter, that seems to last the rest of the night. One cheerful and far and ever wide. (Such that took awhile as Lind begot liking pie this way suddenly. Oh jeepers.)
"What a day." ...a non-Titled quips, as he shuffles to a sitting position, regalia traded for nominal sleep begetup of lay common, though he can't quite realize he's not actually tired, reasons allayed of as... "S-stop trying to eat my hair off gal! Quit it! Help!" ...such Lind about acts all monkey upon him, "But I like your version of pie now!" ...bout picking at it the same! Eihwa snickers... "The new house desert specialità." ...ever more nearby than ever before, as 'above' of roof edge sight, melons of two former System Ops, and an Apprentice of General's regard, (i.e. three former Ops,) watch upside-down-wise at the odd as Heaven spectacle. Ere quips off kilter... "Is the General acting even more off character than ever now?" ...such Chrono sighs. "I won't be saved by it come morning." ...with a smirk. (And shiver of a kitten purr on roof 'right' nearby, out of sight.) The one in-between them hides her facade just... er.. above the awning line, such Ere denotes. "You, really need to get a handle on all that."
"Mistress Eihwa isn't relenting there." Ex 'eeps' out with a blush to match sunburns. Chrono just eyes over warily. "What is she teaching you?"
"Okay stop!" ...Imlade finally hazard to shove Lind off with. He's surprised he doesn't have his head torn outright off and eaten, as he sees next off a bracing position through blocking arms, one Confessed love of his lives, and another now right next to her, acting far more bolder than ever. Imladris blinks and repositions them all in classic Japanese sitting positions. A mortal blinks confused. "Uh, I..."
"Impressive display all such today."
Imladris sure blinks at Lind. "Ah... uh... even despite the..." ...he doesn't get to finish, before he's full on double-kissed! So labeled as such since it's not just Lind that does so. Boy Eihwa really got bold. Imladris is being kissed just as fully as Eihwa is kissing them both all the truly same! (Sure isn't the version Belldandy shared of cheek, with the Lorelei matriarch. Ah beach episodes.) The Ops Trio sure crouch-hide 'up' on sight thereof. "Eep." ...ala shared.
Not that Keiichi having a version of his, Belldandy so Lindfully imparted, out in the rear garden full of flowers in the dusk.
Troubadour enjoying his under Urd 'moonlight', in the Angel Singing area, Rei 'helping' there for such mood.
Sentaro got a stolen on the cheek, right as his family said good morn of eve, that was sure molten all the same. Fusuchi just gave Skuld a thumbs up. (The egging on wasn't paid much attention to either. Ichigo made for a good cross guard type and all.)
Eros got ambushed for his, back at Sol Station.
Various version otherwise abound, as above, a Core engender of all this, looks from an on high spot. Joined by twin created Loves of His own, he looks on as Frigurina manages out... past her creative hypermania state. "You went far easier on him than he deserved." ...as weird shimmer-electro sounds echo off her lightly.
"The time to rectify hath come." ...was all a mini-Friend spoke. Hild just groaned of her biker teen part. "The frequency reverberations are still unfolding. It all may undo the Trap you have made of this whole ordeal."
Al just shrugged. "The Days are few, as they are." ...garnering a shiver to either side of him. Plus, he looks over at 'Frig'. "Plus, I believe we all tire of the charade we propped from the Start of the last, of the Plan."
Frigurina shook her head. "Why we don't hear you as your 'other' name, at that in a Friend's favor here. So and so, we wait for your Third to appear, the 'Second' even over myself unto Ye. I care not for 'that' Truth of it."
Hild looked over... "Hence reason why our relationship be amicable more, We would prefer of it."
"Agitations and amalgamations of Trap make, acknowledged of." ...a Creator nodded. Though this makes of an anime thoughtful... "But without the Gate function for her Interspecies Relationship testing, what becomes of the Final Trial for the Test of Tyr?"
Almighty looks at that, down at a Buddha blessed Temple, as three Third Class celestials see a flood of lil anime hearts start popping out from within. Almighty just shrugs. "When we get to his Room, amongst other 'minor' details."
Hild looks anime thoughtful too now. "Are not the Galaxy and Room all but the same now? All that Eternal Ball Gift crap you both won't flat out quit upon?" ...Al just kooky shrugs at. Frigurina eyes over, but says no more of.
Such all left alone to amicable silence. Sorta.
CEO: "That dwarven stuff was decently strong."
Frig: "Might need to work it all off here soon."
A Mighty gulp is uttered.
