Everbloom Forest - 12:45 AM
Wh-what? What is this?! Why is my body so getting so hot?! I've gotta get away from this psycho!
Tenebrae coudld feel her body temperature rising quickly. She couldn't tell what this girl was doing, but it was harming her and that was reason enough for her to disengage. Like a small child touching a hot iron, she immediately separated herself from the source of her pain and focused all the light she could into her eyes. She summoned a pair of noseplugs made of Hard Light and forced them into Seki's nostrils to keep her from giving chase. It was a childish trick, yes, but she needed to get away immediately. She turned on her heel and sprinted back to her command post.
After a minute or so of running, she made it out of Seki's spell range, and her body began to cool down. It wasn't long after that she reached her command post. Many of the wounded soldiers were already sent back to Regius.
"Ok... that girl... is far too dangerous... rotten little bitch nearly killed me by boiling my blood.... Captain!"
The same soldier from before ran up to Tenebrae, ready for orders.
"Yes, ma'am?"
"Order the soldiers back to Regius... This is too much of a problem to deal with right now."
"Yes, ma'am..."
The captain grabbed a torch and held it high above his head.
"All forces pack up and return to base! This operation is over!"
Phenom chased out the last of the Regiusian forces in Spera. He was completely exhausted by the time it was over. Far too much of his energy went into usage of his speed magic, and Spera was now a burning ruin, likely with no survivors. He sighed and stared at a burned out building briefly before turning to head out of Spera and towards a town east of Everbloom.
"This damn empire... all those people are trapped in the log-in void now because of one man's greed. Damn him..."
Vox grinned as he read Sidna's messages. They were certainly a sight for his sore eyes.
"Sidna, you didn't forget about ol' Vox! I'm so happy~ I'm so happy!~"
He danced around briefly, overjoyed by Sidna's response.
"Alas~ I have not begun tracking on my own. I was out for a walk, that's all! I like walking in the rain at night. It's liberating~!"

By boiling her blood Seki hoped to kill this woman in slow and extremely painful way, this why she didnt just melt her face off when she very well could have. However it backfired when the sudden flash of light blinded her sight and the light plugged her senses. With no way to find her Seki Franticly picked up whatever she could from the ground and tossed them about randomly. Each object made she glow with the same yellow fire and so long as there were some sort of combustible substances with in the objects generic build. The projectile would explode upon a rough enough impact. However fortune shined on Tenebrae that day and she was able to get away without being blown to tiny tiny bits. The other people in the area however may not be so lucky as one and then many of the blunt objects found themselves falling on their end of the battle field casing random explosive rain of body parts and broken armor. The result would be multiple moderate explosions all happening around Jason and Sidna and endangered everyone in the area. This would have given Jason the perfect chance to flee while under cover from the rage of hell fire should he chose to do so.

Sidna looked on as the boy was being cooked alive. She had lively memories from this. She used to do it with a lot of her targets.
("He does take some time, shouldn't he have fainted by now. Maybe a lightning bolt can tell.")
Sidna the proceeded to move some of the clouds in a way that they were bound to hit pretty close to where they were standing.
Suddenly something came out of the flames. She didn't have time to think of any way to counter it.
She gathered all of the flammable gasses in close vicinity and made a big explosion sending both her and the boy on the ground.
That's it little boy. No more holding back. At the same time some of the cans around her belt began to release a few gases.
Sleeping gas which she forced into the young boy. And not just sleeping gas. Just for the foul stench she also added som ammonia to the mix.
Meanwhile the clouds had come close enough to give a few lightning bolts to the area they were in.
"Only Sinki have gotten away from me. I will not let the same happen twice!"

Jason didn't have much time to act, so he he did what he needed to do.
He gathered up his will to keep standing, and kept going. Jason gathered all of the molecules in Sidna's body and began to alter their vibrations. The cells in her body moved one way, then another. Jason increased their vibration speed to incredibly high levels, heating everything up. Soon, her skin became very sensitive to even the breeze in the wind. Jason was destabilizing her cellular integrity and cooking her. He then did the same to her blood and to the air she was breathing, causing her blood to boil and the air in her lungs to heat up. If she didn't leave immediately, the final result would be fatal.
"How.. how do you like being cooked alive? Hurts, doesn't it", Jason said in a strained voice as he continued to fight off the affects of the sleeping powder. Fireballs from the girl behind him rained down around him and the green robed woman, lighting up the battlefield and giving the situation a bigger feeling of urgency.
Jason's vision was blurry and his balance was impaired, but all he needed was to hold out for a little longer. If green robed woman still persisted, then she would die. If she somehow stopped his assault, he was ready to use his last bit of energy to escape. He could put at least 40 miles between them. All he had to do was alter his jump with his speed magic. He would soar through the air and land somewhere in the Rockhill District. He wouldn't have to worry about dying from such a jump, thanks to his magic. In the end, his destination would be a test of luck. Jason brought his attention back to the woman he was cooking alive.

Hell Master kept on walking, but he was extremely agitated at he mud holes he kept tripping on. His shoes were now drenched in mud and the bottom of his cloak were lined with dirt. He began standing in place and thought to himself in anger.
"I swear, if I trip on one more mud hole, I'm gonna- huh?
He looked down and realized that he was slowly sinking into the ground.
"...... DAMMIT!!!!"
He summoned a thunderbolt from the sky that was unrivaled to the others.
"Jeez!!!"
He looked up, and noticed that there was another flash of artificially summoned lightning.
"Now what?"
He thought to himself as he escaped the giant mud hole.
Let's see, fire tornado, an artificial bolt without my consent, clouds moving... Oh, I think I know what's going on.
He kept on walking at a faster rate. He was now three quarters of the way there.
I'm coming for you, both my enemy and my rival...

Kalkun, Rockhill District
"The night sky is beautiful here, isn't it?" Rosmerta walked outside with two bottles of ginger ale and sat down next to Kris. The skies really were beautiful, with star-studded darkness that enveloped the ground like a blanket over a newborn baby. Without all the hustle and business in the cities, the night sky became easier to appreciate.
"I don't know about you: you are young. But I was born outside of HiveNET. You know, the supposed outside world." Rosmerta handed Kris one bottle of ginger ale and started the story. In the inn, Nicole was still performing. "It was a big city, called New York. All the busy people and all the busy streets. I hated them all. So when Hive began, I immediately enrolled and moved here. My idea of Kalkun was, and is, how it is right now: peaceful village where everyone does what they're supposed to do, and enjoy a peaceful life uninterfered."
"What's your story, traveler?"

Kalkun, Rockhill District
Kris took a bottle and saw its contents, a nice drink and kind of rare in this times of war "You may see me young, but Im twenty years old and lived for quite a long time in the wilderness in the outside world" she said smelling the beverage, ohh the luxuries of such drinks. Taking a sip of the ginger ale, the huntress then took a the already prepared rabbit she got while coming to the town "Would you like some?" she said wanting to share the food
Hearing the question of her background made the huntress think about it "Hm.. my story, it all started in a town way far in the outskirts of the big city of Chicago, my people never liked technology because of the pollution and destruction it caused to the nature, so we barely had any luxury of the big city." she said and then chuckled
"But that didn´t stop us to go and see the cement towers and its hinabitants, we used some of our camping weeks to go to the cities and with time the HiveNET appeared.
Soon Kris looked at the sky "The mayor of our town actually promoted it and of course if the big guy said it was good, the others would follow, I enjoyed this reality, traveling between the many lands and towns, with time the people of my age tried to be rebellious and went on as thieves. In my case I went alone traveling and discovering many places and people, even going in adventures.
Then her tone went grim "Then Tyruss appeared with his empire and sticking everyone here, I managed to survive the massacre of many towns with some other survivors, yet when I battled an empire soldier and took of his helmet I noticed he was one of my friends in the outside world. Right now I want to find a way to get back and don´t take me wrong I like this world, but there are people here who are trapped against their will."
Taking a deep gulp to the ginger ale Kris finally said Right now Im searching for this reality´s limits or errors, all the electronics have a human error and I intend to find it"

Regius South District - Slums
The sun has just begun setting, but most of the common people have already gone to bed. The reason for this was not that everyone had an early bed time, but rather that they did not want to die. As all the other districts in Regius were well-established, the only place where one can freely deal with underground trade in Regius was night-time in the slums. Everyone in Regius knows about this truth, even Tyruss and his men. In fact, they all support it. For such a large city, there is obviously a huge underground network, and it is best to give them their own place to do business rather than taint the other districts in Regius. Most of the people there are either part of Tyruss's men or freelance mercenaries. In short, this is where all the corrupt activities of Tyruss's faction which should not be shown to the public are held, from drug trafficking to assassinations of major figures.
Sunat views this as the perfect haven for his line of work, assassinations. He does not support Tyruss or any of the rebelling groups, he just wants a steady source of jobs. As the center of all attention in hiveNET, Tyruss's faction seemed to be the best people to work with as they will always have enemies in need of extermination. Sunat had just finished a job of eliminating the head of a small, growing rebellion in an unnamed small town north of Regius.
Walking through the slums of Regius, Sunat returns from the job. A normally crowded and busy road, he is able to freely walk to his destination as people avoid him because of his intimidating look. He finally arrives at a large bulletin board in the middle of the slum, filled with fliers for different jobs. There are multiple factors involved in making a decision: the location the target is at, who the target is, and what the reward will be. Since there is no one rushing him, he takes the time to examine each one and find the best choice.

She was being cooked alive. While being exposed to high temperatures was normal for her so she didn't freak out from having a burning fireball in her hand, this was something different.
She was not being exposed to high temperatures. She was beginning to boil herself. If she didn't retreat she could die. However she didn't want to let the boy get away either.
She gave Vox a quick message "Track him!" before she summoned a great wind knocking her into the air of the ground and carrying her several meters away from the boy.
She had not given up however. While she assumed that she was outside of reach of him she had still indirect reach to him. She could not move the air he was breathing in.
She could however create suction sucking further away sucking the air out off him. While she was not completely following orders as he was not to be killed she couldn't think of another way.
Most other people survived it however.
No one in the area could survive for long without any oxygen, and she and Vox were currently the only ones that had some. Most animals would probably die, but she didn't care.
What use were they for her anyway?

"Huff... Huff... I'm... I'm almost there... Just five... Just five more minutes..."
Hell Master had escaped the mud hole area, but was excruciatingly deprived of his energy. Sometimes, he would give himself jolts to get him going, but even so, it didn't remove the fatigue. Only give him more energy to move on.
He saw a woman floating in the distance.
"Oh, a flyer? Must be the target. Wait a minute..."
He recognized the outfit anywhere. It was Sidna!
Ha, I knew it! She must be in the middle of a fight. And boy, she looks wrecked. Ha, she couldn't handle this one. How rich. Oh well. I'd better watch the outcome, make sure she doesn't get her ass handed to her. I'll wait for her to finish. It'll piss her off if I intruded. Come on, don't fail me now!
He summoned a weak thunderbolt to give him a large amout of energy. He then ran off, shortening his time to get there to 3 minutes.
