Henir's Time and Space

"I will. You'd best keep your guard up as well," he responded.

"After all, you have someone to go back to. You wouldn't want to be trapped. Not here."

Henir's Time and Space


Jack´s reminder made Nera smirk "If something like that would happen, Im prepared for it, I already spent 2 years in a similar place and made it out. So there should be an exit to this place too"

[SUSTIC]

Henir's Time and Space

As the duo of Nera and Jack wandered through the halls of the false Scarlet Devil Mansion a sudden bright blue light appeared, and from that light Glaive emerged standing in front of the two at a safe distance.

"Kukuku... I saw that you came to a revelation young man, I also see that you both are seeking for an exit. Well I must say that I am willing to send you out of this realm, but that would not be much fun. So I have a proposition to make." Glaive said as he tossed the glowing blue dice in his hands into the air before catching them.

"If the old man did not tell you already this is my realm. A realm where time and space is non-existent. Time goes at my own chosen pace, and I have full control over the design, the architecture, and geography of this realm. I'm capable of taking memories of people, and allow them to relive them. Fight opponents they fought before, or be with the people they once loved. I took the location of the Scarlet Devil Mansion and made an exact copy... well not entirely exact. Here time is at a standstill. It was the most... comforting place I decided to bring. I mean... doesn't this place just seem cozy? Now anyways back to my proposition... I use this realm as an arena to test, and reward special people. I allow them to fight opponents from history that has long since passed by. If you take part of my challenge I will gladly reward you for how long you last, as well as send you back to your bodies. However I will still send you back to the mortal realm if you refuse, albeit all your memories of this place will be gone aside from the conversation you had together." Glaive said as he began walking closer to the duo.


"So what would it be? Take part in my challenge and earn a reward? Or would you rather just leave?"

[Kristia]

Henir's Time and Space


Nera knew Glaive was planning something, so she asked "Before there could be an answer to your offer, if we do this challenge, what kind of reward would this thing or things be and we would retain the memories of the whole event from beginning to end? What is the cost of doing the challenge?"

The jackal also noticed that one of Glaive´s locks was gone ("She must have done something while we were here") she thought and continued"Also, why do you do this challenge? are you just bored? or want to find something during the events because I can notice something odd on you, did Renamon made something to impact you soul?"

[SUSTIC]

Henir's Time and Space

Glaive stopped as he looked at Nera.

"The rewards will be greater than that. Depending on how long you will last in my challenge I will reward you with objects of increasing rarity. Albeit the challenge will grow in difficulty the longer you go on. As long as you take part in my challenge I will send you back to your realm with all your memories, as well as a little something extra. I am not ungrateful to my guests to the point where I will only offer them something minor like retaining all your memories. No, I will actually reward you with some Pieces of Time and Space. Little fragments of the cubes you've seen in that void that will only materialize in this realm. The longer you last in the challenge the greater the amount of Pieces you will receive. I will gladly exchange the Pieces of Time and Space for greater rewards depending on how much you have. Do not worry though, for any injuries you suffer here will be healed and you will be unable to die due to injuries or poison. If you suffer extensive damage though the challenge will end. I will also allow you to invite one friend of your choosing." Glaive said as he waited for Nera to respond, though... she asked him yet another question... One that... surprisingly made him feel uneasy...


"My challenge? The challenge of Henir's Time and Space? Oh I made this realm because I grew board... living an eternity... watching every timeline that exists... watching every outcome... being unable to make a difference... unable to change anything for the better on my own... grows... tiresome... I made this challenge, along with this realm to test Adventurers and warriors alike. Only those who are worthy are allowed to come here and take part of my challenge... I for one find you both quite worthy. Also do not mind that. Your friend is currently meaningless to me aside from her skills. Both you and your partner along with that man next to you all possess something worthy of Henir's Time and Space. A warriors spirit, you all have the drive fight, to keep going when life just throws everything at you. Some of you may not know it, like that Jack fellow next to you, but he does have the drive to try and make a difference. Something of which intrigues me. In short I'm saying I find you both to be worthy warriors of my challenge. So care to accept? I promise the rewards will be worth your time..."

"Isn't my decision." The Pit Boss looked as if he didn't care. "You'd have to file a complaint with the manager, then wait around 3 or 4 years for them to get around to it. There is a lot of paperwork involved."

INV Flying Armory

"Ooooo, a gift for me?" Koishi hopped up and down with excitement. "Then let's get this done quick and stuff. Also, I would try this." Koishi went up to the wall and pulled off what looked like three rifles stuck together, while combined with a small saw.

"Behold, the AL-9 Clearcutter. Someone's smart idea to stick three pulse rifles together with what is pretty much a chainsaw at the bottom. Got some of those fancy circuits in it too. You can plow through zombies like they were grass." Koishi chuckled, handing it to Isaac. "Ever use it before?"

Betwixt and Between (Corridor of Darkness)

The nobodies didn't really give anything for a answer, they just continued to sway back and fourth in their own trance like way. As time went by, there came more and more nobodies. Within 30 seconds of the first ones appearing, there was at least a hounded. After about a minute, it could be up to a thousand. Most of them were Dusks, but there were also a few Creepers among them. Any other type was not visible at all. As the time went by, they began to form a ring around John and the others, surrounding them.

For a good amou8nt of time, it was just completely quiet, then suddenly a single nobody came out and attacked.

Betwixt and Between (Corridor of Darkness)


"And sometimes I wonder when we will have an easy job" the froslass sighed looking at the horde of nobodies until one of them went for attack

By instinct, Mara floated upwards and shot an ice beam towards the nobody, the beam would hit it and start freezing its body to the point of becoming trapped in ice. If the beam would miss, the floor would become covered on a thin sheet of ice making it slippery or whoever walked on it

[S121]

Betwixt and Between (Corridor of Darkness)

As Mara fired off a beam of ice, John quickly reached out his hand towards the Nobody and focused on the area around the Nobody. All of a sudden, a large, tar-like mass of Darkness enveloped the Nobody's arms and legs, preventing it from dodging the ice beam. As that happened, John used his other hand to pull out his M6D Magnum Pistol and readied it to fire if any other Nobodies decided to fight.

"No Mara, this has never happened before.", John calmly said, paying attention to his radar for any sudden movements.





Fiendish City

When the Pit Boss told her about the process she would have to go through to get the Devillites to stop attacking, she couldn't help but be surprised. It seemed as if the Pit Boss didn't even care about dying, about the city being possibly destroyed.

"Do you even care that we could kill everything here, including you if you don't let us pass?", Takoizu asked the Pit Boss in a slightly confused and surprised tone.





INV Flying Armory - Sky - Santa Cruz - California | Night

As soon as Isaac saw the weapon Koishi had taken off the wall and held in front of him, a grin started to form across his face as he began to laugh and covered his eyes with his hand.

"Ehehehehaha. Well, looks like I won't have to build it.", Isaac remarked as he lightly shook his head and looked back at Koishi.

"The funny thing is, I was actually gathering materials to build that weapon. I haven't used it before, but if it works kind of like the Pulse Rifle, then I should be fine. I have some experience operating industrial Plasma Saws, so I should be able to use that weapon without hurting myself too.", Isaac said to Koishi as his laughing slowly subsided.





Infirmary - Prometheus Labs - London | Dawn

"Right. In the meantime, while we're here, I'll gather some of the SPARTANs up to gather Otori and Komachi.", Daniel said to Volgin as he began to open up a communication channel on his HUD.

While Daniel did that, there was a light knock on the door before a man in white and red MJOLNIR armor walked into the room with a clipboard in hand.

"Hello.. Volgin.", the SPARTAN doctor said as he looked at his clipboard.

"I see you're just here for a quick scan. Is that correct?", the SPARTAN asked.

Betwixt and Between (Corridor of Darkness)

As the Nobody was shot with the beam, it dissipated into thin air after a little bit. Just after that tough, what was now the first wave of Nobodies flew towards the group, ready to attack, all while twisting into all kinds of different shapes and such. Some were walking upside down, while others were making them self very flat in some way.

[S121]

Betwixt and Between (Corridor of Darkness)

In that very instant, John quickly placed his M6D on his magnetic holster and pulled out his Energy Swords. As soon as the first Nobody approached him, John sliced at the Nobody, cutting it down in a single swipe.

"Everyone, get out of here! We'll cut our way through!", John shouted out to the group as he began to walk towards the exit, slicing at the incoming Nobodies as they charged towards him.

Betwixt and Between (Corridor of Darkness)

Mara didn't hesitate on her attacks as nobodies kept coming, her freezing abilities either stopped the creatures or made them slower to help the spartan.

"Foul creaures with no will, you shall face your demise" the ghost held a nobody's throat and froze it on contact. Letting the frozen body fall, Mara kept attacking the oncoming waves

The Leela Hotel - New Delhi - India

"Ya know even if this woman does pull a fast one on us we'll still make it out alive. I mean... seriously, does she know who she's dealin' with here? Just look at us, I'm a trained mercenary! If we all get into trouble just leave it ta me got it?" Said the Scout in a very cocky, and arrogant tone. At the Scout's response Volnutt chuckled.

"Yeah? Well let's just hope that she doesn't have to deal with our 'Trained Mercenary', I mean... it would be a real shame if her guards or whatever had to deal with someone of such a loud mouth..." Volnutt said casually as he laughed a bit. The Scout didn't find it an insult at first.


"Yeah it would wouldn't it? I mean no offense Ellis, but you do kind of have a loud mouth ya know? Hey you know this one time I was fightin' with the enemy Heavy, he was firin' his minigun at me and I kept running. He missed every single shot, and I just got close and BAM! Right in the back of the skull with my trusty ol' bat! You can't beat a good old beatin' to the back of the head now can ya?" The Scout replied in a loud, and someone obnoxious tone. "Yeah... I'm pretty great..."


"Scout... I was referring to you... well on that last part..." Volnutt replied with a barely audible groan, already annoyed by the Scout once again.

After hearing Volnutt's response the Scout stopped and turned towards him. "Oh ya think I have a loud mouth do ya? Well why don't ya bring that arm cannon over here and shoot me!" The Scout replied as he stepped up towards Volnutt who was standing his ground.

"You know I would, but I wouldn't. You know why? Because I'm at least smart enough not to attack a friend over something stupid!"


Foot of Youkai Mountain - Gensokyo

Max remained in his seat with a look of fear, and excitement on his face. It was the first time he actually driven in a truck. Yeah he had rode in a train, and a plane here in this world before. But not once has he actually rode in a truck or car before. It was exciting for him as he got to see how such a vehicle works on the inside, but it was terrifying due to how... reckless Eirin seemed to drive...

He looked over at Eirin and chuckled nervously. "Y-Yeah I'm okay... just a little... on the edge of my seat!" Max said with a nervous laugh before passing out due to both fear and excitement...


((Okay Since I am officially in control of Neo's characters while she is gone... like I am with Mega's characters here is a post for Neo's Aisha, and Eve who had been under my control for quite a while now.))
London Rooftops - London | Dawn

"Elsword? Fought him? I-ICU? I-Is he going to be okay!?" Aisha replied as her face turned a bright red, and a few tears began to fill her eyes.

Eve then walked up to Aisha and looked at her with a blank look on her face. That's when Eve raised her hand as she was seemingly about to smack Aisha to her senses... but suddenly she just gently placed her hand on Aisha's shoulder.

"Aisha, Elsword will be alright. His injuries were severe, but you are aware of how tough he is. He is not the kind of person to let himself die to a demon. Besides, even if he was the Prometheus Labs should be capable of taking care of his injuries. Am I correct Jack?" Eve replied as she turned to Jack, Aisha still on the verge of tears.

Jack pulled out a machete.

"You trap us in here to have us leave once we do your bidding. A fight you say?"

He thought on it.

"... I shall humor you. I'll accept. But I won't kill anyone for you, you hear?"




Prometheus Labs

"Whatever works for you, I suppose," replied Volgin.

He faced the doctor before him.

"That is correct."

[Kristia]

Henir's Time and Space

Since it looked like no one would be affected by this, Nera nodded "Ok then, I'll do it"
