Corrupted Radiatons

by Michael Rogers

  *Karol's voice echoed and travelled with the wind, causing it to sound ethereal.*

  Karol: "I can feel your touch, every time I dream."

  *Luna walked out of a forest and noticed Karol, discreetly listening to his song.*

  Karol: "No matter how hard I try, and I don't exactly know why-" *He shook his head, emphasising the lyrics in his song.*

  Karol: "But.. This void in my heart, won't go by. When there is nobody by my side."

  Luna: "Dude."

  Karol: "Wah?!" *He squealed in fright and placed one hand on the dirt ground, looking at Luna.* "Loona?"

  Luna: "Wat's with the emo song?"

  Karol: *He noticed Luna's hair, causing him to face her more.* "Your hair?! It's white!"

  Luna: *She rolled her eyes at Karol.* "I had no idea, aye."

  Karol: *He noticed Luna's eyes.* (She's looking right at me-) "W-Where's Destiny?"

  Luna: "She's purring in her sleep." *She giggled in an uncharacteristic-like manner.*

  Karol: *He frowned with a pout and quickly stood up, standing in a battle-ready pose.* "Don't take a step closer!"

  Luna: "Aye?" *She paused in confusion.*

  Karol: "You imposter!" *He squealed, as an orange sigil-like glyph materialised underneath him.*

  Luna: "Imposter?"

  Karol: *He nodded his head.* "Luna needs her Scoldrant and you're too nice to be her!"

  Luna: "Too nice?" *She spoke on her breath with a twitching eye.*

  Karol: "And you don't even have to same hair kolour!"

  Luna: "Hair colour?" *She discreetly formed a fist.*

  Karol: "Yheah! Your informaytion is compwetely wrong!"

  Luna: "Shut your trap, you dirty butt nugget." *She grunted and stormed up to Karol, punching him on top of the head.*

  Karol: "Wah!" *He squealed and placed both hands on top of his head, causing the glyph to fade away.*

  Luna: "And wat did you hope to do? You can't use any offensive shit anyways." *She grunted, as she sat down on the edge of the cliff.*

  Karol: "Loona?" *He sounded confused and turned around, watching her stare into the distance.*

  Luna: "I'm fuckin' hungry, so don't piss me off, aye."

  Karol: "Loona! Nee hee." *He chuckled in relief and skipped towards the ledge, sitting down next to her.*

  Luna: "Wat was with the shit song?"

  Karol: "I'm trying to make my own song."

  Luna: "Yea, it sounded really negative."

  Karol: "Weally?"

  Luna: *She nodded her head.* "It didn't suit you at all."

  Karol: *He watched Luna's white hair swayed over her shoulders.* "Your hair-"

  Luna: "The fuck with the hair." *She grunted in an annoyed-like manner, causing Karol to cover his mouth with both hands.*

  Karol: "Powerful Rostic Dancers learn to sing their own song." *His voice muffled through his hands.*

  Luna: "Lower your hands." *She grunted with an annoyed frown.*

  Karol: *He lowered his hands and started to kick his feet.* "When Rostic Dancers get to a certain level, they can cweate their own dance."

  Luna: "Aye?"

  Karol: "They can use their own song and make it a Remenistal."

  Luna: *She smirked and nodded her head in an approving-like manner.* "Well.. 'Bout them lyrics."

  Karol: "What about them?" *He spoke in a defensive-like manner.*

  Luna: "Try and, umm-" *She paused to think about it.* "Make it sound happier?"

  Karol: "But, that's not from my heart."

  Luna: "Aye..? So, that's how you feel?"

  Karol: "No..."

  Luna: "You don't sound convincing."

  Karol: "I miss mumsy and dadsy."

  Luna: (His parents?) *An image of Kairi flashed in her head, causing her to look away, surprised.* (All this time.. I haven't missed my friends.. Well, they died here.. And Kairi.. Mum..-)

  Karol: "That's what I feel."

  Luna: "Well, sing somethin' that makes you happy."

  Karol: *He thought to himself and smiled.* "But my friends, they make that void go outside. They force to hold my hand, even if I want it to slide."

  Luna: "Yea." *She rocked her head.*

  Karol: "They make me laugh, even if I've had enough. Even when there is nobody by my side. But my friends, make me want to smile, it doesn't matter if I whimper or even walked a mile."

  Luna: (Not bad.)

  Karol: "Even when I miss my family.. They will give me their eternity. So, I'll try and stand by your side." *He paused, as if he ran out of lyrics.*

  Luna: "That all?"

  Karol: "What did yooh fink?"

  Luna: "Sounded like a girl was singin' it-"

  Karol: "Hey!" *He pouted like a child.*

  Luna: "But it ain't bad."

  Karol: "Weally?" *He spoke on his breath with excitement.*

  Luna: "I wanna hear it when it's completed."

  Karol: "Y-Yooh do?"

  Luna: "Y-Yes." *She purposely stuttered in a similar manner.*

  Karol: "Dhon't be a bully!"

  Luna: "Ahahaha." *She laughed at Karol and stood up, causing him to stand up too.* "Let's get food."

  Karol: "Ohkay." *He smiled and enthusiastically nodded his head.*

  ----------

  *The champion sat with Ordin on the outer part of his royal table, feeling a cool breeze waft past.*

  Champion: *She looked down, watching the grass sway around the chair.* "Everything is ready?"

  Grey: *He sat in the middle of the circular table, facing the champion on his floating royal-like chair.* "Yoeshh." *He nodded his head in agreement.* "We are waiting on Surpreon's side."

  Ordin: "Your majesty, not to change the subject regarding Battling Oxident. But this humanoid Scoldrant creature."

  Grey: "Yes.. I have not overlooked this problem."

  Ordin: "Then why haven't you responded with the appropriate manner to correspond with such information?"

  Grey: "Battling Oxident." *He spoke with a stern voice, as if he was keeping Ordin in his place.* "I respect how much you want to care for this city, but at times, not even I have the correct resources."

  Ordin: "Resources? Then send me."

  Champion: "Oh my." *She spoke in shock and shook her head.* "Our guild battled this creature."

  Ordin: "Creature?"

  Champion: *She shook her head.* "It is apparent, it could also be a man."

  Grey: "Surely The Rostical Guild defeated it?"

  Ordin: *He glanced at the champion, trying not to stare at her hunchback.* (The Rostical Guild, not knowing to themselves, have made a positive name-)

  Champion: "Its regenerative abilities were remarkable."

  Grey: "Radiatons?"

  Champion: *She silently nodded her head.* "It took everything we got."

  Ordin: "Was it the entire guild?" *He spoke in an unimpressed-like manner.*

  Champion: "I believe it was Rachael, Nathan and myself."

  Ordin: "Radiatons.. I've encountered several foes with the healing properties. Amazing and rare they are, it's not something a single foe could deal fighting three warriors with."

  Grey: "I concur with Ordin."

  Champion: *She watched images of Gabriel's limbs instantly healing back to their original condition.* "Its healing ability was something I've never seen before."

  Grey: (The champion's Neuron and Astragon output are the same as my daughter's. She is very powerful by herself. Rachael is also a powerful Elementalist and Nathan has quite the sword skills, if this creature could-)

  Ordin: "With permission, I'd like to pursue it."

  Grey: *He shook his head.* "You are needed to stay here and protect the city especially when Battling Oxident commences."

  Ordin: "... Yes, your majesty." *He tilted his head in respect.*

  ?????: "Connection, established."

  Champion: "Oh my-" *She watched a man suddenly appear in a flash of purple light.* "Season."

  Season: *He looked at the champion and smile
d.* "Hohoho, how are you, champion?" *He walked up to a floating chair and sat himself at the table.*

  Champion: "Very good."

  Grey: "Caesar." *He smiled and the glyph underneath his chair tilted, allowing him to face Season.*

  Season: "Grey, it's always a pleasure."

  Ordin: "Why was there a late connection?"

  Season: "Stern as always, Ordin. Hohoho.. Excuse the delay, I've been rather sick and my Neurons have not been the best."

  Ordin: "This is not professional for the ruler of Surpeon-"

  Grey: "The connection is up and running now. Better to have the teleportation glyphs all in working order before Battling Oxident, correct?" *He spoke to Ordin.*

  Ordin: "Understood."

  Champion: (Ever since I mentioned the details of our confrontation with that creature, it's been a little tense-)

  Season: "Anything new in Silver Wind Island?"

  Grey: *He shook his head.* "We may have a lead to the yellow-eyed disease, yourself?"

  Season: "Oh, the Consultant had been hiding himself in my ranks and poisoned my Neurons. Nothing new."

  Champion: "..."

  Ordin: "..."

  Season: "Hohohoho."

  Grey: "Yohohoho."

  Champion: "What?" *She looked at Ordin in confusion.*

  Ordin: "They've got this unusual bond. Not sure if it's a ruler thing, but I personally don't understand it."

  Grey: "I'm glad things are well, my friend."

  Season: *He suddenly raised his arm and coughed into his elbow.* "You too."

  Grey: (Caesar, his nickname detours from his ability to change the weather. The Consultant infiltrating his ranks, this must have been a serious thing.)

  Season: "Tyler has prepared most of Battling Oxident on my behalf, so we should be ready."

  Ordin: "The first good news I've heard in a while."

  Champion: (I feel slightly out of place right now.)

  Season: *He glanced at the champion and Ordin.* "I hope to see another splendid match these games."

  Champion: "Oh my, of course." *She smiled with her eyes closed, tilting her head to one side.* "Do you have any special requests for this match?"

  Season: *He shook his head.* "With all the recent drama, I have no current requests."

  Champion: "Splendid."

  Grey: "Champion and Ordin, you two are dismissed."

  Ordin: "Dismissed?" *He sounded confused.*

  Grey: "I need to discuss with Season regarding the possible implementation of The Agoura Marbles."

  Season: "That's fantastic to hear." *He chuckled and made himself more comfortable.*

  Ordin: *He stood up in a frustrated-like manner, causing his imperial armour to rattle.* "What is wrong with you, your majesty? This is the same disease the took the life of your grandson and stepdaughter-"

  Champion and Season: "..."

  Grey: "Enough!"

  Ordin: *He looked startled.* "Your majesty?"

  Grey: *He pinched his whisker-like moustache, shaking his head.* "I know what this disease has caused. I will rectify this immediately."

  Ordin: "…" *He looked away.*

  Grey: "Please respond!"

  Ordin: *He punched his chest and turned around in a soldier-like manner.* "Yes, your majesty. I shall excuse myself."

  Champion: "I'll excuse myself, too. Season, Grey." *She smiled at them both and hobbled to slide off the chair and started to walk away.*

  Season: "Ordin, he protects the city. Is very respectful and courteous. What happened?"

  Grey: "I have not forgotten, but his entire platoon suffered from a wave of the illness. He has resented anything regarding the disease."

  Season: "Is it a contagion, disease, illness, sickness? We have a similar issue back in Surpreon, any new information will be helpful."

  Grey: "To be honest, I don't care what it is."

  Season: "Oh?"

  Grey: ".. It's disgusting whatever it is."

  Season: *He nodded his head and noticed Grey start to become emotional.* "So what's this about The Agoura Marbles?"

  Grey: "Yoeshh." *He nodded his head and coughed to clear his throat, as if he was ready to go into a long conversation.*

  ----------

  *Twortz flicked her ponytail over her shoulder in a professional-like manner, walking across beautiful green grass towards a large castle.*

  Twortz: "This information. This will please the Consultant so." *She smirked to herself.*

  *Twortz's image suddenly disappeared, blowing around the surrounding grass around her.*

  --

  *Twortz suddenly appeared directly in front of a stone wall and looked up, as if she was waiting for something.*

  ?????: "State your reasoning for entering Sorrowprax." *A woman's voice muffled from inside the wall.*

  Twortz: (That voice?) "Sofia?"

  Sofia: "Hahehahe." *She chuckled from behind the stone wall.*

  Twortz: "What is someone like a captain, doing behind there?"

  Sofia: "In order to play the game correct, you must experience all possible areas, hahehahehahe."

  Twortz: *She shook her head and rolled her eyes, knowing Sofia couldn't see her.* "I'm here to speak to the Consultant immediately."

  Sofia: "He's a little busy-"

  Twortz: "I've found the last Unknown Territory."

  Sofia: "..."

  Twortz: "Sofia-?" *Chains could be heard reeling up, causing a large stone gate to slowly raise.*

  Sofia: *She bent down and looked at Twortz with her cold silver eyes.* "Did I hear wrong, or did you just unlock another level to the playing level?"

  Twortz: "You heard correctly."

  Sofia: "The death of Millardestel and Kathalestel, he is going to be so happy."
