BlankSpace- a device that hold zero gravity-ness. Then its dropped or thrown, the area around its landing spot will lose its gravitational pull and float around.
Magical Might Signature (MMS)- like a fingerprint for magic; every one is different , no two are same.
"What are we working on today, Aomine-san?" Kuroko asked, noticing the backyard of their dwellings. It was mostly a training ground, with trees near the bordering brick fences and some obstacles here and there. "We are going to get to know the Wonderways in Serin, specifically where the Wintcup was held. Kise mapped the area, so he's tagging along to add any new ones we come across."
Aomine finished packing his pockets with BlankSpaces and called over Kise.
"Hey, can you call Akashi to make sure we're getting everything that needs to be done? I don't feel like getting his evil eye directed at me."
Kise snorted as he beckon over water from the air, creating a medium size puddle to huddle around. He kneed down and flicked the surface as he thought of the crimson headed leader.
The image flickered as the desire person came into the Paiger. " Ryouta, Daiki is everything alright?" Akashi's voice sounded as if he was right beside them; even his voice alone could make Aomine a bit nervous. " We just wanted to go over the assignment before we head out." Kise explained.
" I see. Is Tetsuya with you?"
Kuroko stepped forward into the Paiger's view at the mention of his name. " I am here, Akashi-kun."
"Alright then. Your assignment is to find Wonderways leading into and out of the Wintcup area. People have been going missing from there without any known traces. No one saw them leave, so a Wonderway is the only way to leave without leaving behind traces of magic. Try not to bring attention to yourself. Questions?"
" No, I think we're good. Sorry to make you repeat yourself, Akashicchi." Kise thanked
" I rather repeat than clean up another one of Daiki's messes. Good luck." Akashi tapped his Paiger, turning the puddle back into nothing more than water.
" Ever traveled a Wonderway before, Tetsu? Aomine asked as the stood outside the event district, where the Wintcup was held.
" More times than I can keep count of. Ready?" He responded, positioned to trigger the opening on command. " As we'll ever be." The gray stone they once stood on disappeared beneath their feet. The fall was slowed, thanks the still functioning enchantments. The passage went straight down then turned sharply to the left. Random objects stuck out of the walls; A sword handle, a teddy bear, a still whole glass bottle, all embedded into the sides.
At the bottom was nothing of importance to their cause. This pattern repeated quickly until Kise lead them to one that twisted down like a double helix then shot straight out North.
But this Wonderway didn't slow their fall; they plummet downwards.
"Shit-shit-shit!" Aomine cursed. Chucking the BlankSpace to the bottom he couldn't even see, his fall didn't slow. Kuroko thought quickly as the ground became visible and shot out ice, whipping his hand to the side to create a curved slide before the warrior could hit the unforgiven floor. He did the same for Kise and himself.
" That was too close. Why didn't the BlankSpace work, Aominecchi?" Kise asked, pulling the warrior to his feet. " I don't know. Nice shot Tetsu. Saved my skin." " My pleasure.' Kuroko replied looking around the bottom the Wonderway. The ground was dyed red and bones have be kicked to the sides. It was surprisingly bright despite being dozens of feet below the surface. Kise walked to and began feeling up the walls, searching for a switch. After a few minutes of groping the wall with Kise, a loud rumbling occurred. A space between Kuroko and Aomine shifted and condensed to make another opening to a hallway.
"Where do you think it leads to" Kise wondered aloud. Unlike the room they were just like, it was not bright. Kuroko skimmed the wall of the corridor with his fingertips. Frost crawled where he made contact and travels deeper into the darkness.
" Here, have your lightning transmit through my ice so we can see." the ice mage offered. The warrior flicked the ice, bright blue lit of the hall. " Nice thinking Kurokocchi." Kise commented as they journeyed into the corridor.
" So you did find a Wonderway that leds in and out of where the Wintcup was? Did you discover anything that can help us know where they went?" Akashi asked, looking at Kise's map; one of the twisting lines was circled. Aomine, with a mouth full of food, motioned to Kise and Kuroko. "We found a broken necklace at the exit of the hallway. That's about it" Kise handed the necklace to the flamethrower.
Kuroko stood quietly in the corner, lost in deep thought.
"Maybe Takao would know where it came 's knowledgeable about MMS's , isn't he Midorima?" Aomine pointed out.
Midorima uncharacteristically groaned in response. He just knew someone would suggest his fun-loving companion*. It's not like he dislikes (AN: its quite the opposite) Takao, he teases Midorima almost relentlessly and then his friends give him the look.
" You're right, Aomine. Why don't you go request for his presence, Midorima."
One hour later….
" Shin-chan~ I haven't seen you in awhile." Takao greeted, he waved at the others, oblivious to the deathly aura emitting from Midorima's body. He soon felt a cool breeze and turned around. Kuroko was behind him, looking up at him with curiosity.
Takao recoiled in surprise. "Hey, didn't see you there. My name's Takao Kazunari." "No one really does." Kuroko introduced himself and briefly explained why he was summoned. Takao nodded along in understanding. " Yep, I can help you" he turned to the cleric "if Shin-chan can assist me" Takao amended with a Cheshire smile on his face.
