[IC Board] All the World's a Game - Season II

London | Dawn

As Aisha continued deeper into the city she continued to detect the Dark El's presence. It was strong here... what happened here?

"I detect Dark El... Angkor what do you think of this?" Aisha said as a small, round, white and purple bat appeared in the air above her within a puff of purple smoke.

"Wow I never felt this much Dark El since we were in Elrios!" Said the small demon bat as it flew around Aisha.


"Hmm... Yeah you're right... Angkor go scout and see if you find anything that could have left these traces."

"Roger that Ms. Aisha!" Said Angkor as it flew off into the sky. Despite Angkor being the one who is helping Aisha become a better Void Princess, he seems to obey her like a pet.

"Jack new energy reading detected. The energy reading appears to be smaller than the original, but it is a large concentration of energy for such a small blip on the radar. It seems to be a large amount of Dark El condensed into a small package. Either way it appears to be moving quickly to our location." Eve said as she kept track of the two energy readings.

"No clue." Raven said as he stood up. "All I know is that no one knows the birthplace of all demons. You know... the source of where they come from. For all we know there could be an unlimited amount. Though until the source of the original demons are found, we won't be able to stop them for good."

As Eve described the signature to Jack, he began to think more and more that what she was describing was some kind of Dark El rocket or missile. All of a sudden, Jack looked down to Eve in his arms and spoke.

"That's probably a missile or rocket. Stay calm.", Jack calmly said to Eve.

All of a sudden, Jack quickly removed both arms from Eve, causing her to simply float there, held up near Jack only by inertia. In the blink of an eye, before gravity could do its work and drag Eve down to Earth, Jack had pulled out his "Bullet Storm" Rifle with his left hand, and quickly positioned his arm along Eve's back with his right. Thanks to the size of his right arm, he was able to hold Eve without risking dropping her. As soon as he finished, Jack began to track both the original signal, and the new one as he aimed towards the fast moving object and focused.

"Do they come from another dimension?", Lily asked Raven.

"No clue. No man had ever been brave enough to ever try and find out. All those who did leave to go find the source of the demons never returned. There are theories though. In my world there are elves. The elves in my world are actually from a different plain of existence, with the El being the bridge between worlds. If the El goes permanently missing the bridge will close, and all elves existing in my universe will disappear completely. One theory is that demons themselves are from another plain of existence created by large amounts of Dark El when the darker El stones were made. All demons are born there, and probably cross a 'bridge' of sorts to the real world. If that's the case then you will erase all demons if one gets rid of most of the Dark El Stones. However doing that could possibly erase the normal people who were turned into demons from existence as well. Which means someone like Chung's father, or my friend Ara's brother could be erased from existence... Like I said I don't know much. All I know are mere theories." Raven said as he stood up. "Listen I'll be right back. Gonna go check and see what Chung is up to."

Lily was even more curious about the Dark El now more than ever, and sadly, she had more questions than answers. Of course, not even Raven knew all that much about the Dark El, or even the Demons' origins, so she would just have to settle with what she knew now.

"Ok. I'll finish up breakfast. If I'm not here, then I'll be in one of the equipment labs. They wanted me to test a new armor module.", Lily said to Raven.

"Ah yes, my name is Alvis." The man bowed slightly. "And the reason I am here concerns an event that had occurred four months ago. Specifically, one you, yourself, took part in ending." Alvis paused for a moment. "You do remember the dragon, correct? It went by the name of Grima."

Lisa stopped when the blast occurred. a brief moment and then she spun around and attempted to boost away. She covered her head with her weapon in an attempt to shield it as she fled.
She was not fast enough to escape the explosion and soon vanished in the inferno under rubble.

A piece of shrapnel managed to pierce her torso, while another piece knocked her head clean off.

"Okay Lily, I'll see you after I check on Chung, and Elsword." Said Raven as he waves goodbye as he leaves the Mess Hall. First he'd like to check on Elsword, see how things are going with him.

Talking about his friends seemed to make him feel uneasy. He knows Elsword, Chung, and Eve are here... but the others... Ara, Rena, and Aisha. Where in the world could they be? It's something that still bugs him. He wishes to find them, just to make sure they are alright. In the meantime he will continue his work here with the labs, as well as possibly find them within the Lab's database.

"Later, Raven.", Lily said to Raven as he left the Mess Hall.

After Raven left, Lily continued to eat her breakfast as she thought about what Raven had told her. If Raven was right about these demons, then what about the ones that they saw earlier? Where did they come from? How did they come to the real world? Lily didn't know, but right now she had other things to do, like finish her meal and test Prometheus Labs's newest armor module. From what she could gather, it was reverse-engineered Promethean technology and had something to do with Promethean Knights.

Six remembered that particular night all too well. Not only did he aid the Gensokyans in the fight against The Devourer, he also helped Robin kill the dragon, Grima. Robin had died that night, and Six could do nothing but search for a nonexistent body. If Alvis looked closely, he would have seen in Six's eyes that he remembered within milliseconds, and just as soon as he remembered, the look in his eyes disappeared.

"I assume you're somehow connected with Lucina? It's either that, or you're here to tell me that Grima will return, right?", Six calmly asked Alvis.

Seeing that she received but clearance of messaging, Samus started "ít has been a while armored soldier and golden fox, I know this sounds sudden, but I just met this reckless boy who calims that killed your offspring spartan. I already joined the dots about who your wife is and since he said it was a natural child, I can assume she has many of your genes. So my question is that what is the reason for an artificial boy who surely lied about murdering your daughter, which sounds next to impossible if you ask me, to come here from the future?" she asked both of them

Yakumo estate

Renamon thought about it and remembered John speaking of a boy who came from the future trying to kill Takizou, she knew that the girl was a formidable adversary due to what the spartan told her and about her fake death "All I know is that he is a creation of combined genes and comes from the same time of chief´s offspring, his name is clouded for me thought, but from what John explained me, a big danger is close and Takizou wanted to warn us about it so we can prepare for what is coming" she explained

Institute of War - Valoran

John was a little surprised that Samus knew about Takoizu, or at least heard it from Jack. If that was the case, then Jack was still in this timeline. Next time he saw Takoizu, he would have to warn her.

"He did. She told me that she put up a fight, but she let him kill her. She said that it will make him think that she died, allowing her to help us without worrying about Jack interfering. When I met up with her after their fight, she was caked in her own blood, but she told me that she was fine. Don't tell anyone. We don't want to blow her cover.", John explained to Samus and Renamon.
