Kappa Village - Gensokyo


"Right." Mitori nodded as she led Max to the Kawashiro House.


Kawashiro House was a large house that shouted steampunk all over. Strange machines went off in one place, then in another. The gears around the house shifted and moved slowly. A pile of scrap metals made a heap of mess on another side of the the garden. This house's front garden was in a disarray, but then again, so were every other Kappa house garden.

"Let me drop these groceries off and then help you." Mitori said as she heaved the groceries up. "Nitori! I'm home! At least come out to greet me once in a while!"

A muffled grunt returned. Nitori. Max has only seen Nitori twice: once when Max first came to Gensokyo, and another time two days later when Nitori took Steve and upgraded it. Since then, Nitori hasn't come out of her room... or maybe she did, it's just that Max hasn't seen her while she was out.

Kappa Village - Gensokyo

"Okay I'll be in the garage getting things ready." Max replied as he quickly ran off to the garage without saying another word. He wasn't trying to be rude, he was just focused on his task... a little too much.

As he opened the door to the garage the place was pretty dark... Max felt... odd as though something or someone was watching him from inside the darkness that is the garage... if one were to look closely... they can see the silhouette of a man... wearing a cloak... the only thing truly visible... was a single... glowing... yellow eye... staring back at Max from the other side of the dark garage. Max didn't move a muscle, he just stood there in a defensive stance. His hand on his Bell Trigger... just in case whoever this intruder is... decides to attack...

Snake smirked.

"Can't have been that long. Only been four months. It's me, Snake. From Australia."

Kawashiro House - Kappa Village - Gensokyo


Mitori unpacked the groceries into their respective places: Cucumbers and other vegetables in the refridgerator's top shelf, meat on the bottom, dry ingredients like spices and butter in the pantry. The house, at least the interior, was kept tidy thanks to Mitori's cleanliness. If Nitori was... Well, EVE could probably clean the entire house anyway.

"Are we ready, Max?" Mitori hopped into Max's garage to find that Max was in a standoff against a shade with yellow gleaming eyes. Mitori sensed danger.

"Contact Nitori. Now." Mitori whispered, so silent that neither the shadowy creature nor Max could hear it, to EVE's surveillance system. Then, she grabbed the handle of her street sign on one hand, slowly walked next to Max, and asked the shade.

"Who are you and what do you want?"

Dragon's Table Approach

The wind howled through the chasm below the path that the woman now walked. Faint torchlight could be seen from where she was radiating out from various windows and battlements above. The shadow of the tower loomed large. She brusquely made her way to the path that spiraled upward around the chiseled spire.
Looking upward the woman sighed. "Well it could have been worse, I could have been fighting my way up this..."
She then made her way upward, her cloak billowing from the strong winds. She held on to them tightly as the breeze had a sharp bite of cold to it.
The lone woman climbed ever higher. The path was long.

The path passed through carved arches with ornamental gargoyles in the shape of dragons.

The path passed weathered battlements. Some still had torches lit that merely flickered and played in the wind that did sneak past the ancient glass guards that sheltered them.

The path continued upward.

Yakumo estate

After hearing the fox´s plan, Mara was debating if it was either a good idea or a real clusterfuck "You know how crazy this thing sounds? one wrong move and bam, no more you and I will have to deal with an emotionally dead and physically almost invincible lucario, and Im not kidding with this" she spoke seriously

"I know the risk of these things the moment I decided to keep that virus in me" Renamon said in a calm tone even though of what she had planned

"If and I remark IF D-reaper gets free, I´ll personally deal with her or do everything I can to send her to the deepest parts of hell" Nera discussed also in a calm tone

Mara otheerwise was getting desperate but took a deep breath and calmed down "Sometimes I wonder how you two would gladly acept death if it comes, heck I know that the skeleton would play chess with Renamon just for her messed and calm temper. Do you really are prepared for it?" she asked the duo

"I´ll accept my fate when it comes, but that will be in a long time when my own fire persihes with its last breath" the fox said with determination in her eyes

Have you ever crossed the line between sanity and madness? You would be amazed by what lies beyond the fog..

Kawashiro House - Kappa Village - Gensokyo

"Relax... do not be afraid. I'm not here to bring harm... only a warning..." The shadowy man said as he stepped forward. Revealing a man with spiky white hair, wearing a black cloak outlined with dark red. Around his collar was... a strange series of gold chains and locks. On top of that, but the strangest thing about this man was... his mask. He was wearing a stone mask that even though it had two holes for the eyes. Only one was visible... the other... there was nothing... just pitch blackness. The man took out a few small dice sized blue cubes, then he proceeded to tosses the cubes into the air as he just stared at Mitori, and Max.

There was an unnatural aura to him... something that made Max feel unsafe... there was just something... creepy about him.

The stranger just continued to stare at the kappa, and young boy. Then he opened his mouth. "The Red Atlamillia... it's in danger... protect it... a bad man is after it, and that's all I can tell you right now. Protect it with your life kid... kukuku..." He chuckled as he turned to Mitori.

Almost within the blink of an eye, and without seemingly making a single movement he was right in front of Mitori. "As for you... protect the kid... for in this world he needs the protection..." This mysterious man said as he just as fast as he appeared... just kind of vanished... like he wasn't even there...

A few seconds after he vanished Max suddenly collapsed... he fell unconscious as he fell face first onto the cold, hard ground in front of him...

The Inventory

When John heard what Koishi said, he wanted to help, but again, he knew that an army of Characters could take care of it. Besides, he had many other things to do, such as save Annie from a terrible fate and kill The Auditor. He just didn't have enough time to help, but at least he knew that somebody was taking care of the incident. After a split second, John's train of thought ended and he turned his attention over to Koishi's question.

"We're here because we need someone to fill in a role for a battler. We're trying to save a girl from a terrible fate, but to do that, we need to assemble a team. The only thing that's left for us is the support role.", John explained to Koishi.







Outside Reactor Labs - Sector 4 - Prometheus Labs - London | Dawn

As Jack walked off with Eve, Dr. Neuman turned over to Chung and answered his question.

"I'm going to go back into the reactor lab. I was working on a little something, a special little project. It's almost done, and once it's completed, Prometheus Labs will be a much safer place.", Dr. Neuman said to Chung.


Meanwhile, Jack didn't say a single word to Eve as they walked through the hall. All he was focused on at this point was for his suit to get fixed before he got in trouble with Dr. Halsey. Dr. Halsey may have been a frail old woman, but not even Jack dared to get on her bad side. In a sense, angering Halsey was the equivalent of angering a parent. Just the thought of encountering her was enough to put Jack slightly on edge, making him keep his guard up, even if it wasn't apparent that Jack felt that way. Every once in a while, Jack would look over to Eve, just to make sure she was still following.









Outside Prometheus Labs - London | Dawn

"I'm not paid to make assumptions, I'm paid to do my job.", Daniel calmly said as he lead Volgin inside The Labs.




Sector 2 - Prometheus Labs - London | Dawn

After Daniel and Volgin entered the security sector of Prometheus Labs, Daniel escorted Volgin to one of the various smaller rooms and opened the door. If Volgin looked inside, he would have seen that the room looked much like an interrogation room, only more refined, mainly due to how it looked like it came from a work of science-fiction.

"Until we can fully trust you, negotiations will be held in a secure location. This ensures the absolute safety of The Labs.", Daniel calmly explained as he motioned towards the the room.

The Inventory


"Support role, huh?" Koishi rubbed her chin and then her face brightened. "I know just the person. Though she'll probably hate missing the battle over in California. Have to do some serious convincing with her. Come, you'll see who it is." Koishi said, as she walked with haste down one of the hallways.




Sometimes when you're driving down a road, a bug hits your windshield. It's ugly and unpleasant, but you just activate the wipers / cleaning fluid and it's gone in a few seconds. It's just part of driving down the road. You don't dwell on it, because that'd be silly. Bugs aren't worth the time.

You just discard their guts and keep on driving.

Kawashiro House - Kappa Village - Gensokyo


"Creep." Mitori frowned as the shade disappeared, leaving nothing to trace. "Max, do you know thi-"

"Max!" Mitori rushed to grab Max as he fell unconscious, hitting the ground.

"What's wrong-" A voice asked from the doorway. It was Nitori, answering the distress call from Mitori not long ago. Nitori was in her tight black sleeveless and denim shorts: an attire she prefers while working on machines. Her face and toned arms and legs were covered in sweat. She seemed indifferent until she noticed Max, unconscious and in the hands of Mitori. "Oh dear."

"Dammit, call Suichi. She should be able to detect what's wrong with Max." Mitori barked, referring to the local Kappa doctor.

"She's out on a vacation." Nitori denounced and took Max from Mitori's hands. "I'll go to Eientei. Eirin-san should be in."

"I'll go with you too." Mitori said.

"No, you stay here." Nitori denounced once again as she took a dark brown leather jacket and slung it over Max's shoulders.

"No, you. I'm not putting him in any more danger." Mitori protested. She thought of what the shade said: protect Max, for he needs protection in this world.

"Make sure Zero is untouched." Nitori ignored her sister. "ADAM!"
