*Infinity and Trinity suddenly stepped off a glowing purple glyph and basked in a warm gust of wind.*
Trinity: *She took a deep breath and closed her eyes.* "This feels familiar."
Infinity: *She observed her surroundings, noticing she stood in an enormous open field.* "Did number two send us to the wrong destination?"
Trinity: *She opened her eyes and spun around in a dancer-like manner.* "Can't you feel it, sister?"
Infinity: *She observed her surroundings again and shook her head.* "I can't see-"
Trinity: "Feel the fluctuation of Astragons." *She walked forward and stopped, placing her hands behind her back.*
Infinity: ".. It's just a Spacial Funnel, sister-"
*Twortz suddenly flashstepped in front of the Spacial Funnel, startling Trinity and Infinity.*
Trinity: *She held Infinity's hand and stared at Twortz's back, taking several steps towards her.* "Is this it?"
Infinity: "We've only just got here ourselves-" *She stopped, looking across the open field.* "There's nothing here."
*Twortz stepped forward and straightened her arm, causing the air to warp.*
Trinity: (A Spacial Funnel.) *She thought to herself surprised.* (It responded to her without the use of Neurons or Astragons?)
Infinity: *She leant forward, looking into the Spacial Funnel puzzled.* "I don't see anything besides a stone mansion-"
Trinity: *She stepped forward, sticking her head into the Spacial Funnel.* "And it's just a pile of rubble." *Her voice sounded distorted, as if she was gargling water.*
Infinity: "Is this really the right place?"
Trinity: "The right place it isn't."
Twortz: "It is."
Trinity: "You're probably wrong, captain, this is just ruins-"
Infinity: "Shh, sister. She is captain of the ranking two."
Trinity: (The moment sister realised of the captain's previous threat, she's become weary. I, on the other hand, have become annoyed, thinking they're using our parents and loved ones as hostages.)
Twortz: *She turned around, glaring at Trinity.* "It is dire to respect your superiors, also, I require space."
*Twortz grunted in a professional-like manner, causing Trinity and Infinity to slowly step away from the Spacial Funnel.*
Trinity: *She nodded her head in understanding, letting go of Infinity's hand.* (Dirty lamp-) "Sorry."
Infinity: "Sorry we are."
Trinity: (Once we do this, he'll let go of our entire tribe. So I better play it safe.) *Her fingers shook.*
Twortz: *She reached into her armour, grabbing onto something.* "With this-" *She formed a fist and held her hand out.* "It will let us in."
Trinity: "The Fiftydeduction." *She whispered to herself, staring at Twortz's hand.*
Twortz: (One of the children know about the Fiftydeduction?) *She thought to herself with an emotionless face, triggering a flashback.*
--
*Ridley stood on top of a massive lighthouse-like tower, listening to howling winds around him.*
Ridley: "Take this number two."
Twortz: *She sat on her knees with her head lowered in respect.* "I would like to once again apologise for my failure."
Sofia: *She leant on a pillar with her arms folded, looking to her side at Ridley.* (Why did my love awaken a boss in his league? The number one captain trainer!) *She looked down, forming a fist in anger.*
Ridley: "No need, from what I heard, not even the number one could find it." *He smiled, rubbing a small stone with hieroglyphs on it.*
Sofia: *She glanced at the stone.* "What's so special about that stone?"
Ridley: "It's called a Fiftydeduction."
Twortz: "What does it do?"
Ridley: "It's a powerful Rosterology item which possesses the spatial abilities of fifty Rostical Users."
Sofia: "Abilities?"
Ridley: "Well it contains Astragons not Neurons." *He continued to smile, shrugging his shoulders as if he didn't care.*
Twortz: "What do you want me to do with it?"
Ridley: "Either way, take the stone and go through the Spacial Funnel. I will meet you there."
Two: "A mere Spacial Funnel-?"
Ridley: "This one is different and requires a key, so this stone will compensate."
Twortz: "Understandable." *She paused, mumbling with curiosity.* "With respect, sir..." *She spoke with anticipation, waiting for Ridley's response.*
Ridley: "Yes?"
Twortz: "Regarding something so important, why won't you come?"
Ridley: "I have important duties to follow up on."
Sofia: *She leant off the pillar and walked up to Ridley, rubbing his arm in a caring-like manner.* "You're so smart."
Ridley: "Raise your head." *He threw the stone at the captain.*
Twortz: *She caught it with one hand, standing up in a professional-like manner.* "I will go immediately."
Ridley: *He nodded his head, watching Twortz flashstep out of the vicinity.* "I like her, she's very obedient."
Sofia: "Excuse me?"
Ridley: *He turned around taking little steps, facing Sofia with a smile.* "Not as much as you though." *He chuckled, kissing Sofia on the lips.*
Sofia: *She leant back and smiled, licking her lips.* "I have complete trust in you, but-" *She looked away, pouting her lips.* "I think you should get rid of her."
Ridley: "The number two?"
Sofia: "Don't play dumb, you know I'm talking about her." *Her words implied she was talking about someone else.*
Ridley: "Her.." *He nodded his head.* "After going through the trouble of awakening her behind Kath's back?"
Sofia: "It's just, I don't like knowing she's Consultant level."
Ridley: "Don't worry, she is bound by a Daathic Self-Inflicting Glyph."
Sofia: "Oh, why didn't I think about that?" *She giggled with boosted morale, walking away from Ridley.*
Ridley: "Everything is going according to plan."
Sofia: "Awesome, haheahe." *She looked at the view from the tower, watching her hair violently flap to one side.* "Was it smart to give the captain your Fiftydeduction?"
--
Twortz: *She observed the hieroglyphs on the stone, frowning in thought.* (The Consultant wanted me to abduct Ashton, I just couldn't do it.. I lied, but despite this, my mission rate is at one hundred percent.)
Infinity: (How will a stone restore the ruins?)
Twortz: (The beetle, this stone, I like to think of them as little promotions of trust.)
Trinity: "What's in the ruins-?"
Twortz: "It's working." *She spoke calmly and ignored Trinity, watching the Spacial Funnel warp into the opposite direction.*
Infinity: *She gasped, skipping back in shock.* "Hey! There's something else."
Trinity: "Something else, there is!"
Infinity: *She squinted her eyes, watching a warped image appear in the air.* (The Runic Chambers! I thought wrong, it's in another Spacial Funnel.)
Trinity: (Is that The Runic Chambers?)
Twortz: "There was another Spacial Funnel hidden in the other. Let's go." *She proudly stepped forward and the air around her rippled, as her body warped into the Spacial Funnel.*
Infinity: "Yes." *She skipped forward, readying herself to follow Twortz.*
Trinity: (I will restore our tribe...) *She paused, looking down with determination.* (I might even go back for Karol-)
Infinity: *She stopped and turned around, facing Trinity.* "Sister?"
Trinity: *She shook her head and skipped up to Infinity, grabbing her hand.* "You heard the loyal Scoldrant-"
Infinity: "Sister?!" *She whispered in shock and glanced at the rippling Spacial Funnel, ensuring Twortz didn't hear her.*
Trinity: "She acts like one! Bends over to the Consultant's wishes, she'd probably eat off the floor too-"
Infinity: "Let's go." *She slightly smirked and skipped forward, pulling Trinity with her.*
Twortz: *She looked up, st
aring at a stone castle in perfect condition.* "This is larger than I thought."
Trinity: "It looks new."
Infinity: "New it looks."
Twortz: "Come." *She spoke with authority and stepped forward, making her way towards the castle.*
Trinity: *She listened to the captain's metallic footsteps on the stone ground, glancing at Infinity.* "The castle looks like that from The Lost Ruins of Kite."
Infinity: *She paused, observing the castle in detail.* "The smooth corners of the castle, it's certainly our work-"
Twortz: "We have a mission to complete!" *She shouted out, causing Trinity and Infinity to quickly run with a skip towards her.*
----------
*Luna, Rachael, Nathan, Lezard, Karol and the champion talked amongst themselves, listening to the crowd roar with excitement.*
Luna: (My stupid brother ain't bad.. He uses lightning and wind too.)
Destiny: (He also fights similar to Nathan.)
Luna: "Yea." *She ran her fingers through Destiny's fur while looking up to her even though she couldn't see through her eyes.*
Destiny: (Aren't you excited to see your brother?)
Luna: (I am.. I just know we'll be doin' something right after the matches finish, aye.)
Destiny: (What makes you say that?)
Luna: (C'mon, the champion wanted us here for a reason.)
Champion: *She glanced at Nathan, as she hobbled towards the arena and waited.* "It seems this will be the last match." *She implied the current match had finished.*
Nathan: "..."
Karol: "I kan't believe Nafan lost."
Spectator: "Next is the final match! And here is the champion!"
Rachael: "What did you speak to Season about, champion?"
Champion: "Many things, but first, I need to do something in this match." *She looked over her shoulder and smiled.* "We'll talk after this match.."
Luna: *She looked past the champion and noticed Lance standing in the arena.* "Shithead's in the finals?"
Nathan: (That should've been me..) *He thought to himself with an annoyed frown.*
Champion: (Why did you want me to use that on him, Season?) *She hobbled out into the arena.* (Use a Grand Rostical?)
Rachael: (I asked the champion this morning what she did last night. She kept smiling saying she'll tell me later, and that it involved Season. Seems she, like Nathan, takes Battling Oxident seriously.)
Lezard: "Good luck!" *He cupped his hands around his mouth, yelling at the champion from the waiting area.* "Oh, succulent!"
Karol: "Yheah!" *He jumped up, waving like a child.*
Nathan: *He folded his arms, looking at the champion from his side.* "That should've been me.." *He mumbled, sighing on his breath.*
Rachael: "Unacceptable, Nathan." *She adjusted gloves on her hands.*
Nathan: "..."
Luna: *She stared out into the arena, chuckling in disgust.* "Can't believe that is in the finals."
Destiny: "Yeup!" *She squealed in a supportive manner.*
Karol: *He looked at Luna in a curious-like manner.* "Who's that, Loona?"
Luna: "Forgot him already? Aha, I don't blame ya.. It's my bro, aye."
Rachael: *She looked out into the arena, watching the champion and Lance face each other.* "Seeing Lance.. It makes me-.." *She looked down and formed a fist.*
Luna: *She noticed Rachael's sudden attitude change.* "Oi, Rach! You'll see him one day, aye."
Rachael: "Who?" *She looked up, pretending nothing was bothering her.*
Luna: *She pulled a facial expression, as if she didn't want Rachael to play dumb.* "Really?"
Rachael: *She smiled in understanding and ignored Luna, as she focused her attention back to the arena.* (Where are you, Ash? Do you think about me?)
Spectator: "Please pick your environment."
Luna: "Environment? Aye?"
Destiny: "Yeup?"
Nathan: "Don't you pay attention? The last match, the contestants get to pick the arena they fight in."
Luna: "Arena they get to fight in." *She spoke with an evil-like face, discreetly glancing at Nathan.* "So the sook speaks."
Lezard: *He quickly focused his attention to Luna and Nathan, as if he knew another fight was going to happen between them.* "Oh, Lezard doesn't want to hear this-"
Luna: "Shut ya face, Lizard!"
Nathan: "Stay out of this!"
Lance: *He listened to the spectator's words, triggering a flashback of the burning walls in Pepper's fight.* "Oh, I'm kool."
Champion: *She hobbled up to Lance, looking at him in confusion.* "Oh my? What scenery will you be choosing?"
Lance: *He glanced around the arena, nodding his head in satisfaction.* "This is fine."
Nathan: *He quickly looked back to the arena.* "Why hasn't it changed yet?"
Rachael: *She folded her arms.* "Seems like he didn't want to change it."
Nathan: *He shook his head, glancing at Luna.* "He must be blood-related! He annoys me just as much as you."
Luna: "Big words for someone that ain't even up there aye!" *She shouted at Nathan and angrily pointed to the arena.*
Champion: *She smiled at Lance, standing in a battle-ready position.* "Oh my, how rude of me. Hello."
Spectator: "And the battle begins, now!"
Champion: "Let's have a good match." *She took a step forward, staring at Lance with a widening smile.*
Lance: (Her high voice and crazy hunchback freak me out.)
Champion: "I like to let the opponent go first."
Lance: *He looked annoyed, raising his hand.* "Smear upon the skies-" *He straightened his arm, aiming it at the champion.*
Champion: "Oh my?" *She casually raised her hand, mimicking Lance's stance.*
Lance: "Blue waves crashing down-" *He tightened his hand, watching a ball of light swirl in his palm.*
Champion and Lance: "LIGHTNING BLAST" *They pushed forward, blasting a stream of lightning into each other.*
Lezard: *He giggled in amazement.* "The audience watched the lightning lock into a violent dance."
Luna: *She listened to the lightning with heightened hearing.* "It sounds pretty kool too." *She ignored Nathan and faced the arena.*
