Akyuu's Mansion


"Heat Resist..." Patchouli looked through her catalog. "I'll pick up a few grimoires and head to wherever you'll be at during the battle."


Unknown


She lay facedown, surrounded by bright mist that seemed to envelope her body instead of the nonexisting clothes. Nobody was around her, she was there herself.
She rose up and looked around her. The mist seemed to extend far beyond reach but also seemed to be right around her: a truly phenomenal effect, reflected by the unknown source of light, giving off a grand, almost holy, mood.
"Alas, you have woken up." An old man carrying a large staff boomed from behind, as he stepped forward from a pillar covered in mists as well.
For the first time, Daiyousei wished she were clothed.
"Who are you?" Daiyousei asked.
"You wouldn't know even if I told you my name." The old man smiled warmly. "But the bigger question is: who are you?"
"I..." Daiyousei began, but she couldn't say anything. Is she to impress this old man, or to tell him a truth? Is she to trust him? "I... Don't know."
"A name will do. Once you speak your name aloud, the rest of your identity will follow." The old man smiled again as he drew closer to Daiyousei, his silken robe brushing against Daiyousei's bare arm. The old man was easily twice the size of Daiyousei.
"I... My name is Daiyousei." Daiyousei said.
"A fine name." The old man nodded.
"Where am I?" Daiyousei asked.
"This place..." The old man looked around, not because he was curious, but because he wanted to show his guest something. "This is what they call One."
"Or All."
"Or Self."
"Or World."
"Or Heaven."
"Or Afterlife."
"But this place is really called the Truth." The old man announced. "This is where all things true and holy are kept."
"Am I... Dead?" Daiyousei inquired as the old man brushed past Daiyousei and took a book out of a bookshelves, both objects shrouded in the bright mist. "Is this where the Dead go?"
"Do you not want to be dead?" The old man asked, which made Daiyousei think. On one point, she wanted to stay here... Such a soothing place this was. This old man, as mysterious as he seemed at first, did not seem to be hostile or violent at all. But on the other hand, she wanted to go back... Where all her friends missed her amongst the living...
"No, I don't want to be dead." Daiyousei announced. The old man merely smiled and handed the book to Daiyousei.
"Then read that book." The old man handed the book to Daiyousei.
"How will reading a book help...?" Daiyousei wanted to ask, but the old man seemed to have vanished.
Daiyousei observed and analyzed the book: which read librum et non infinitas. Daiyousei sat on a small couch chair conveniently positioned behind her and began to read.

Mima popped her head in and tossed John a crystal. "Use that. Also, for it, at some point, I may ask a favor." Mima then left.




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.

Akyuu's Mansion

Preparing her digivice and taking some talismans she created while being in her shaman mode, the fox looked at the sky "This is it, huh?" she said as her energy started surging through her veins

"It is indeed, just another adventure for our story" the jackal said already forming a bone staff at her paw while her body had small shivers of energy coming for what could be their biggest battle

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

John nodded at Mima, then put the crystals away. Surely the favor wouldn't be too extreme. Besides, anything would be worth saving the planet.

All of a sudden, X began to talk to him via his communicator.

"John where are you?"

"I'm at the Human Village. Just follow my energy signature.", John said into the communicator in his helmet.

John then walked over to Byakuren and asked her a question.

"Byakuren, how long can you make a heat resistance buff last?", John asked Byakuren.

"As long as I can stand, almost indefinitely." Byakuren responded.

"Roger that." Said X as he activates his Falcon Armor. Before he flies off he turns to Dr. Light and Mega Man. "It was really nice meeting you both. I promise I'll be back. I promise that we won't lose this fight!" Said X as he takes off flying. Dr. Light and Mega Man simply smile and waves goodbye to him.

As he was flying he found Axl and Zero running down below him. "Axl, Zero!" He yelled as they both looked up at X.

"X!" Said Axl as Zero smirks.

"I'm heading to the Human Village. I feel like the final battle is coming soon!" Said X as he keeps flying.

"Okay. We'll meet you there." Said Zero as him and Axl keeps running. X simply nods and flies off.
The three of them are headed to the Human Village.

"Good. I'm going to need it for my trip into the reactor. I'll meet you with Patchouli and Mima.", John said to Byakuren.

John then hastily walked over to Reimu for the final arm of support.

"You make sealing amulets, right? Is there any way to make ones that protect against heat?", John asked Reimu as he grabbed his helmet and held it at his side.

A talisman darted towards the spartan and got pasted on his arm "That is an energy surge talisman, the moment you tear it, all of its energy will enter your body, but use it only when you truly need it, if it is misused, your body won´t hold all that energy and release it as steam from your boiling veins"
The fox said preparing more talismans

"Well maybe after all this you could tell me about what it was like in your game.", Claire said to Six as she entered the car.

"Yea.", Six said as he entered the car as well.

It had been a long time since Six recalled what had happened on Reach. Many of his fellow Spartans died, just to give humanity a little bit of time, just enough time to get The Pillar of Autumn off of Reach. He also remembered how he was just an instant away from getting killed by an Elite with a Plasma Dagger, but was fortunate enough to get transported to the real world before the final blow.

Six looked over to Chris and asked him a question.

"So does this thing have a GPS?", Six asked.
