“Huh?”

"We're- we're back."

She walked away to go wake Shoe and Beosta up.

"I will." he told her with a nod. He wandered into the backroom, seeing how focused Aden was was kinda freaky. "Irie, Ria wants to talk with you." he said, walking up to Five's side

Irie nodded and walked over to Ria.

"What is it?"

Ferron took off. 

ummm. I don't know where we're going. Neither I nor Cadewyn made a map, so I don't know where to direct Ferron so as to bring is back to the clearing we appeared in.

The next thing he saw was calm. The girl and her two siblings were standing in front of two giant golden gates on white clouds. Someone stood in front of them wearing all white with a halo on his head. “Welcome to heaven, it seems you have died. And we’re good enough to come here.” The gates opened.  The girl went to walk though with her siblings but was stopped. “Asher, your brave actions in protection allowed you a chance to go back down and help others.” The angel said. The girl, asher, nods. near her a smaller angel appears. Long light blue hair and a small kind face. “Hai friend!” The voice was seraphinas. “My name is seraphina! I’ll be your guide!” She started walking down a path. “We are gonna be going to the re… aliving center! And you will go back down to earth to continue your life.” They walked for a while, “we are almost there just a few mor-“ 

she got cut off by an attack. A guy with bigger cargo pants and chains with a leather jacket lunged at them. He knocked them all off the path and they fell. And fell. Like  a never ending fall.

after what felt like forever Asher hit something. She groaned and looked around. She was in the middle of a field of grass. When did she get here? Who was she? You idiot. A voice said in her head. Hey dont point fingers at me. Y’all’s the one with the god awful footing.”who are you!” Asher said startled. Holy rust. Her voice was…. Deeper, a bit. the last thing she remembered was….. was heaven. She was a kid. she looked down at her body. She was taller. “Ah. What’s happening!” Dont worry, we fell from heaven and me and Cade, who’s the person who pushed us, got fused into your head. Right now you’re like a half living spirit. Also years have passed. Many many years. Yeah yeah can i just.. something in her head flipped. She felt the man named Cade take over. She lost all sense of control. 

Under cades guide they became an assassin. Killing for hire. They met a guy named Alex. He was also an assassin but a kind one. He always took care of them and never held grudges. He was smart to. After a bit, Asher got somewhat control if only enough to talk, and befriended him. After a while she decided to tell him what happened to her. And he was chill about it. He nodded and understood and was supportive. They worked together for a while. Until one day,

this Alex guy is! Ugh! Ok im sick of him. Im gonna do something about him. No Cade! Don’t do anything brash. Asher knew what was coming. She tried to remain in control but was only able to warn Alex of what was happening. Cade took over and killed Alex. No, no. Nonono. As Asher saw him fall she was able to force Cade back. She ran forward. “Alex! Im sorry please dont go!” She held him up. “Don’t worry little knife, i dont blame you” Alex said weakly. No! Blame her it’s her fault! Please. “Alex please-“ she begged. For what? She didnt know. “I forgive you” those were the last words to leave his mouth. she cried. For the first time in forever. Holding his body, she didnt know why she was so attached to him. But it hurt like hell.

She knew from that moment on. She would not fight. She would help. Do anything so long as it helps someone. And she was going to figure out how to fix her. 

Pyk watched, unsure what to say. He hesitated, sensing a familiar pain.

It was different, but he felt he understood.

“Asher… I…” He couldn’t find the words.

Back in the real world Asher shifted. In a half conscious state. “Alex” she muttered barely seeing pyk. He and this Alex were really similar. Coincadinkly.

Coincadinkly?

Pyk frowns slightly, then repeats her name. “Are you okay, Asher? I…I saw what happened.”

Cu-wink-a-dink-ly

asher blinks a bit.  “Oh pyk.” She suddenly became aware of what happened. “Im sorry.” She processed that he was holding her and blushed but since she had a mask he couldn’t see it… also he’s blind…

*skepticism*
hmmmmmm

ok guess it’s a word. Fine. FINE! *mock anger*

Pyk apparently also realized this, and quickly helped her stand. “Asher… you have no reason to be.”

”I guess we just need to find a way to rid you of this pesky invader…”

He forced a grin, trying to do what Dint had always been so good at… laugh away the problems. Although, he thought, perhaps not a laugh. It didn’t seem right.

He wishes Dint were here.

I may or may not have had to alter his memory (Twas the headache)

Bat stood up. “What happened?” 

Beosta groaned and rubbed her head.

“My daughter’s gone missing,” Ria said. She held her phone, which was buzzing, but nobody was picking up on the other side.

"I-I talked with the goddess. She said we should look for Ruia at Entoturis."

Irie's eyes went wide.

"Your daughter? How? When?" she asked quickly.

Asher stands up. Then quickly checks to make sure her mask was still on. When it was she sighed. "I think... well it would make more sense if we got a way to separate them from me. Technically they are two different people fused into me." She says still a bit embarrassed,  maybe or guilty. For that little situation...

“Well… we can’t let her throw us in a dungeon again,” Bat pointed out. “We need a plan first. Maybe we could talk to some of the other Narrators?”

Ah

”Uh… a magical sword!”

A sword coalesced in the air in front of her. 

2 hours ago, Sequence said:

Sequence's expression grew troubled as the Ghost spoke, and she nodded. "Yes, I would like to speak to them," Sequence said calmly. "But first, do you not believe in the free will and autonomy? This is not meant as an attack, I just want to see your opinion, and know whether you feel..." Sequence cocked her head to one side, thinking for a moment. "... Remorse."

“I think you misunderstand the purpose of the kill switch. If a member wishes to leave, we let them, though we strip them of their memories and augmentations. If they wish to wallow in self pity and take no missions, we let them, though there are more rewards to those who take missions. The thing we do not allow is defecting from our organization. I find nothing wrong with that restriction.” 

48 minutes ago, NameIess said:

Rebel emerged into an cavernous room, lined with ornate pillars. The walls were intricately carved with a series of engravings depicting a series of events involving rebel, showing him as a mighty warrior king that had been placed in an endless slumber by a jealous Narrator. There are more in that guard room over there. Something made Rebel look at an almost unnoticeable door, designed to blend in among the ornate stone carvings of the walls.

"Sure, yeah..." Balitan continued staring at the hologram of Malevolence. "He looks just like me."

Could still be a clone. Nameless noted. Or some other trick from Malevolence. His eye started twitching suddenly. Blast it. Is someone downplaying Narrators again?

Unhinged laughter rang out from Malevolence's helm. "You think you can break me? You think I will falter before death's gaze? You are wrong! I fear not death, for even death shall tremble at my name!"

At his words, Malevolence's armor broke apart into a dozen pieces that flew through the air and clamped onto Rebus, sending out pulses of Enulling energy. Beneath it was not Malevolence, but merely empty air.

At the same time, the large drone split in half with an explosion that launched half of it towards Rebus at a speed two steps above insane. This half split open to reveal Malevolence, Mordite Blade in hand. It split again, a second explosion launching Malevolence and a small disk at an even more insane speed straight towards Rebus. He raised his Mordite Blade, moving at such a speed that, despite all the laws of epic storytelling, he had no time for a dramatic final word before reaching Rebus, thrusters on the disk spinning him so that the Mordite blade would cleave the fragment of a Narrator in half from head to toe.

Rebel’s utility fog consumed the bodies of the guards, assembling into the clothes the mural put him in. “If I’m a warrior-king, perhaps I can command them. If they attack, ceremonial weapons are nothing against you and nanotechnology.” 
“It is strange, and perhaps a bit suspicious. What do you mean by downplaying?” 
To clarify, Rebus was the one he had the drone stab, though he put Malevolence in line with him so he can potentially get them both (though ironically, he’s also not in his armor). My syntax was confusing.

“Well… how else are we supposed to defeat her?” 

-

“Nothing… hold up.” She took a call.

She shrugged. "She- she mentioned something about a Plotblade, and . . . making Ruia regress? Not sure how we would get a Plotblade like that, though."

She nodded and took a step back, twirling her hair around her finger.

“Huh.” He frowned. “What Plotblades do we know of?” 

Elliot looked up from playing his drums, which he’d been doing since they got back to the beach. “Oh, Regression, yeah.” He played a drumroll and some cymbals  

-

Ria hung up after a while. 

“Her chip went inactive around forty miles from here.”

“Oh, yeah.” He flicked his hair out of his eyes, adding a deep base beat. “It’s the one that looks like a knitting needle.”

“North. Outside New Gurney.” She looked at Irie pleadingly.

Everet shook his head. “I’ll come with you. Give me… I don’t know, something useful. A cape, maybe? Those are useful, right?” Rebus obliged, and gave Everet a dashing cape.
