The Consumer

Tricky pointed at both Zero and Szayelapporo, and made a motion, as if he was marking them for death. He leapt into the ground, leaving only his exclamation point stop sign visible, as it rocketed towards Zero at extreme speeds.

Sector 2 - Prometheus Labs

After a couple of minutes, Six and Gerard entered the sector and saw everyone waiting.

"You're late.", Jack said to Six and Gerard in an emotionless tone.

"Just getting Gerard some armor. It would be thoughtless to send him in unarmored.", Six calmly said as he walked over to Xehanort.

"Okay, we're ready to go. We have 36 people going. That's not too much, is it?", Six asked Xehanort.

Sector 2 - Prometheus Labs

After a lot of waiting everyone was finally ready. "Of course not" Xehanort then opened up a Corridor of Darkness in front of the crowd. It was just to walk in and you would be transported to Gensokyo.

(@Katrix I'll add the middle and end of the portal journey when Wriggle comes on. I need to know whether or not Gensokyo is still there, along with all the aliens. I don't want to accidentally kill everybody off.)

Sector 2 - Prometheus Labs

Six looked into the black void and slowly approached.

He didn't like the look of the portal, but right now he needed to get to Gensokyo and stop the aliens from destroying the planet.

Six walked through, then Jack, then Daniel, then everybody else.

"Yes, sorry for being late..."

I walked through the portal. This... Is going to get amazing.



Meanwhile, in Groznyj Grad...

I stepped out of the the chrysalis into Groznyj Grad. This brought back some memories... Bad ones...

Volgin pat me on the shoulder. "Ah, I remember it like it were yesterday. When we get in... Let's have at it, for old times."

I thought about it. "... Let's get things settled down first. Then we'll worry about desirables."

I got back I'm the chrysalis and knocked on the metal. "Come on. Rise and shine."

Gensokyo Battlefield

As soon as everyone entered the Corridor of darkness, feelings of anger rose within everyone in the portal.

"What the hell?", Six let out as he tried to think about why he was angry.

Jack simply remained dead silent, not speaking.

Daniel shook his head from side to side and began to flex his shoulders, trying to ease his tension and anger.

Soon, the exit came into view and everybody stepped out of the portal, not wanting to stay longer than what was needed.

As soon as they entered Gensokyo, everyone was met with a giant swirling vortex in the sky and a battle out in the distance.

There were countless enemies attacking what appeared to be a smaller army. It was clear that they were losing.

Gensokyo Battlefield

As Robin walked alongside the Spartans, he...
didn't feel different.
He watched the others who seemed to be dealing with sudden irritation...yet...
"Why...shouldn't I be affected as well?"
Just as he asked himself this, he felt like he was losing consciousness.
"Why indeed. Seems it's making your will weaker as the darkness within you allows me in."
"Grima...of course..."
Robin exited with the others and he saw the fight ahead. "So now this is where things get started, huh?"

"Yea...", Daniel trailed off as he pointed up to the giant swirling vortex above.

"What the hell is that?", Daniel asked the group.

"Our time frame being cut down to an hour or two.", Six said as he looked over to the rest of the group.

"Alright, change of plans. Once we finish this battle, we need to escort the locals out of here. The air support should arrive shortly to back us up, but until then, we fight alone. Everyone, pick a squad leader to follow. There's me, Jack, and Daniel. Hurry up and pick, because we don't have much time.", Six said to the group.




Reactor Lab - Sector 4 - Prometheus Labs

Soon, the scientist returned with the newly grafted piece in hand.

"How's this?", the scientist asked as he handed it over to Chung.

The Memory Shape Alloy was grafted so perfectly, that the piece looked flawless, as if the alloy fused into the piece itself and reinforced it.

Chung looked at the newly grafted piece of Shape Memory Alloy then the central component of Disfrozen Portal. Fortunately it was a perfect fit!

"Yes this will work just fine! Thank you!" Said Chung as he pokes a few holes in several places along the rim of the metal with one of the tools from the table. Once he did he placed the piece of Shape Memory Alloy into the central component and began feeding the wires through the holes in the piece of Shape Memory Alloy. Once he did he began to screw the piece of alloy into the central component so it won't budge.

After he did all that he took the main core which luckily wasn't damaged and placed it into the central component. He then hooked each wire in the central component to the core. Once he finished that he turned to the Scientist and smiled. "Now we are almost done. I just need a few more things..." Said Chung as he turned to his Guardian Stone. "For this I'm going to need you to stay back... as this part is actually quite dangerous." He said as he extracted a small black crystal from his Guardian Stone. The crystal reeks of darkness.

The scientist did as he was told and stepped back, but was also curious.

"What is that?", the scientist asked Chung.

Robin stepped forward from the group to get a good look at what was happening on the battlefield. "Brings back memories..." Then he looked back at Daniel. "I'll follow your lead or Six's if you're tired of having to deal with me."

Daniel smiled inside of his helmet and nodded.

"Hey, someone's gotta watch your back out here. Why not someone you're familiar with?", Daniel jokingly said to Robin as he accepted him into his squad.

"It's a shard of Dark El. It's filled with dark El Energy. You see once I turn on the Disfrozen Portal currently it will start generating pure El Energy which is unstable. As such I need a bit of Dark El energy to stabilize it. Once the energy is stabilized once more it will be as good as new. Normally I wouldn't have to stabilize the Disfrozen Portal, but because of the recent battle I went through the Disfrozen Portal was acting up."

"Hmmm...", the scientist said as he looked at the reactor with curiosity and interest.

As a scientist, he had only worked with technology, not magic. From what he could gather, this Disfrozen portal was a mix of both technology and magic.

"Okay now be careful and stand back. I don't want something bad to happen to someone who is not used to a very powerful surge of El Energy." Said Chung as he placed the Dark El shard near the core of the Disfrozen Portal. Once he did the entire table started shaking as energy from the Dark El shard began to transfer over to the Disfrozen Portal core.
