Corrupted Radiatons

by Michael Rogers

  Celest: "No activity."

  Arcadia: (If they are linked, perhaps thy could trace him?) *She closed her eyes again and focused, causing noticeable wrinkles to appear in the middle of her eyes.*

  Locki: "How plausible is it that these two are related?"

  Celest: "Uncertain.."

  Locki: "These new findings-" *He held his head with disorientation.* "And the Aurorions, the planet's Aurorions."

  Celest: "The Wise are aware of the situation."

  Locki: (That's what makes it worse.) *He sighed in thought.* "Celestiana, thou should not have risked going into The Astral Plains by yourself."

  Celest: "Thy am older than thou, do not act like-"

  Arcadia: *She opened her eyes with a gasp, catching Locki and Celest's attention.* "Thy am confused?"

  Locki: "What is it Arcadia?"

  Arcadia: "It was something thou said, we are still linked. So, thy traced the Radiatons-"

  Celest: "You did?!"

  Locki: "Thou did?!" *They shouted at the same time in shock.*

  Arcadia: "It felt like his being was split in two?"

  Celest: "Split in two?"

  Arcadia: "His Astragons and Neurons are waiting for his Radiatons to pass on."

  Locki: *He leant slightly back.* "Thou mean, he's dead?"

  Arcadia: "Thy can confirm this."

  Celest: *She noticed Locki looking at her in confusion.* (This is getting stranger and stranger-)

  Arcadia: "But there is something worrying me."

  Locki: "Arcadia?!"

  Celest: "Speak of it!"

  ----------

  *Rachael, Luna, Nathan, Lezard, Karol, Ginger and the champion entered a forest, listening different types of birds and insects.*

  Rachael: *She smiled.* (Some Scoldrants sound completely different to any animal I've heard of, back on Earth-)

  Champion: *She stared at Ginger's back, as she led the guild through the forest.* "Oh my, she's not very talkative."

  Nathan: *He walked by the champion's side and looked at her with a silent face.* "..."

  Luna: *She smiled, as she stared forward with a blank-like stare.* (Try and skim through the branches like a spaceship, aye!)

  Destiny: *She flew above the treetops and spiralled in the area, brushing past several branches.* "Yeup!"

  Luna: (Aha, you crashed and burned!)

  Destiny: (No!) *She hissed in thought and quickly spun around, observing Luna's walking path.* (What's a spayce chip?)

  Lezard: "Ooo!" *He giggled and wiggled his bottom, as he read from the book Arcadia gave him.*

  Rachael: "What's in the book, Lezard?"

  Lezard: "Razzypoo, all these are star signs."

  Luna: "Starsigns? Wat a load of shit." *She grunted on her breath.*

  Rachael: "I don't really believe in the zodiac star signs, but I enjoy hearing them."

  Ginger: *She sighed in thought and waved her hand to the side, causing wind to blow several branches out of her face.* (I have no intentions on socialising with any of these people. It is rather illogical if I were to consume my energy towards someone that serves no real purpose to me.)

  Champion: *She noticed slight sways of smog-like clouds Ginger used to blow away the branches.* (That had the Neuron signature of the Rostical, Piercing Clouds.)

  *Champion thought to herself in curiosity, as she hobbled to each side, continuing to follow Ginger.*

  Champion: (She's clearly a full-fledged Rostical User, too.)

  Rachael: "What do the star signs say, Lezard?"

  Lezard: "What are you, little monster?"

  Rachael: "I'm an Aquarius."

  Lezard: "Okies-" *He adjusted his cone-shaped hat and placed one finger on the book, slowly sliding it down the page.* "Sagittarius, Libra, Aquarius, have naturally stronger Astragons."

  Rachael: "Hehe, awesome."

  Karol: *He looked up and smiled.* "I'm a Libra!"

  Lezard: "Luna, what-?"

  Luna: "Not sayin' shit, Lizard."

  Lezard: "Okies." *He sarcastically pretended to be upset.* "Champion?"

  Champion: "I'm a Taurus and a Libra."

  Luna: "Wait, wut?"

  Destiny: "Yeup?" *She meowed in confusion and flew towards the guild, as if she just wanted to hover near Luna.*

  Nathan: "..." *He glanced at the champion, before drifting his attention back in front.*

  Rachael: "Champion, you can't have two star signs."

  Champion: "Oh my, then I'll pick Taurus." *She smiled with her eyes closed and tilted her head at an angle.*

  Luna: "Rightio." *She grunted on her breath.*

  Lezard: "Well, Leo, Scorpio and Taurus star signs have stronger Neurons than most, ooo, how deliciously exciting."

  Luna: (Stronger Neurons, aye.) *She smiled in thought.*

  Champion: "That's really fascinating." *She suddenly triggered a flashback of her without a hunchback pointing towards a blackboard filled with different coloured glyphs.*

  *The champion suddenly lost her footing, causing Nathan to quickly grab her by the elbow.*

  Champion: "Oh my-"

  Nathan: "You okay?"

  Rachael: "Champion, are you alright?!" *She jogged up to the champion in an athletic-like manner.*

  Karol: (It's beckause Nafan and champion didn't rest afta Battling Oxident.)

  Champion: "Guess I'm a little tired." *She spoke with a smile, as if it wasn't a problem.*

  Rachael: *She looked forward, noticing Ginger walking ahead.* "Ginger, could you please wait?"

  Ginger: "How illogical, do you not want to get there as soon as possible?"

  Rachael: "I think she needs a little rest."

  Destiny: *She observed the guild, noticing all their tired appearances except for Rachael, who appeared perfectly fine.* (They do look like they need rest. I can even feel you, Luna. You're a little tired yourself.)

  Rachael: "Well, we do need to get there asap, but-"

  Ginger: "Your wants and needs do not match." *She continued to walk ahead.*

  Rachael: "But-"

  Luna: "Your pushover reasonin' is bullshit, Rach-" *She stepped forward.* "Oi, spice-named Asian bitch, wait for us, aye!"

  Ginger: "Ykkt-" *She frowned and quickly spun around, facing Luna with an annoyed filled face.*

  Luna: "See, and that's how I get free food."

  Rachael: (Sometimes you annoy me, Luna. But sometimes your way works better.)

  Lezard: "Okies-" *He coughed to clear his throat, as if he knew the champion wasn't in any serious danger.* "Aries, Gemini and Virgo have a naturally heightened control of their Astragon manipulation."

  Champion: (A random flashback of long ago? Andy, why have I suddenly started to think of you?)

  Lezard: "Cancer, Pisces, Capricorn all have a higher learning curve to master Azure Bursts, or if they're lucky, Remenistal-"

  ?????: "Yatchet!" *A watery-sounding roar echoed in the distance, followed by a vortex of bubbles, which exploded a tree near Ginger.*

  Karol: *He squealed.* "Gingarh!"

  Ginger: *She quickly looked to the side and cartwheeled to the left, barely avoiding more bubbles.* "The Remenistal Bubble Blast?"

  Rachael: *She watched the bubbles hit a nearby rock, exploding it to rubble.* "Woah!"

  Champion: *She looked serious and hobbled to the side, facing the direction of the bubbles.* (The level of Neurons, don't tell me-)

  *Another watery-like roar echoed and a man with blue hair and eyes stumbled out.*

  Lezard: "A gentleman?" *He looked confused.*

  Luna: "Who else was expectin' a Scoldrant, aye."

  Destiny: "Yeup!" *She meowed in agreement.*

  Karol: *He stopped his dancer-like movements, as he stared at the man in confusion and uncertainty.* "A man."

  Nathan: "That noise was no Scoldrant." *He frowned at the man, knowing the roar came from him.*

  Rachael: *She glanced at Nathan.* "It certainly wasn't human-sounding either."

  Man: *His skin started to pee
l off, revealing black scales.* "Kill.. Kill.."

  Ginger: *Her eyes widened.* "Black scales?"

  Man: "BUBBLE BLAST" *He pushed forward, blasting several blue bubbles at the guild.*

  Nathan: *He pulled forward, unsheathing a long sword, surrounded by bright sparks.* "Who cares what he is, he's an enemy."

  Rachael: *She nodded her head with a frown and formed fists.* "Rock Pillar."

  *Rachael punched forward and a rock pillar shot up from underneath her, throwing her across the ground.*

  Rachael: "Rock Pillar." *She landed directly next to the man and punched a rock pillar at his face.*

  Man: "I was one of the greatest water Elementalists-" *He spoke each word with a struggle, as his face exploded into water as the rock pillar jabbed into him.*

  Rachael: *She raised her fists and stepped back in a cautious-like manner.* "What's the deal?"

  Luna: *She flicked her fingers and a bow of electricity formed around her hand.* "Is he dead?"

  Man: *The sprinkles of water suddenly swirled back and formed into his head.* "BUBBLE-"

  Rachael: *She gasped with widening eyes.* "Crud!-" *She quickly leant to the side.*

  Man: "-BLAST" *He waved his hand as Rachael was moving to avoid his obvious attack and blasted bubbles into the ground, exploding high pressured water in her face.*

  Rachael: "Ah-" *She squinted her eyes and backflipped away from the man.* (I can't see!)

  Luna: "Oi, dickface!" *She pulled on an electric made string to her bow and aimed towards the man.* "Windstream Shot."

  *Luna let go of the string and shot an arrow made of wind towards the man.*

  Man: "BUBBLE BLAST" *He pushed forward and shot several bubbles in front of him, watching three burst into water.*

  Luna: *She watched the water rain in front of the man.* "Aye?"

  Ginger: "Was it not obvious, Scoldrant User. He used his Remenistal to stop your Azure Burst. It was a very logical tactic to use."

  Luna: "Who's side you on, bitch?"

  Nathan: *He ran towards the man at incredible speeds, raising the sword.* "Double Slash-"

  Ginger: "Running directly towards an enemy with a mere sword is illogical-"

  Nathan: "Tssk-" *He slightly frowned due to Ginger's words and spun around, whacking the man with the handle of the sword in the gut.*

  Man: *He leant forward and placed his hands towards Nathan's head.* "BUBBLE-"

  Nathan: (No you don't!) *He leant back and violently stabbed the sword into the man's chest.*

  Man: *His stomach started to suck in Nathan's sword.* "BUBBLE BLAST"

  Rachael: *She gasped.* "Nathan!"

  Ginger: "Ykkt-"

  Nathan: "The destructive arts number seventeen, Great Divide." *He grabbed the handle with both hands and nudged it to the side, causing the man's stomach and chest to explode in the direction of his nudge.*

  Man: *He swayed his hand and slapped Nathan to the side, as his arm turned into a wave of water.* "AQUA LIQUID"

  Nathan: *He fell to his side and looked up, dripping with water.* "Damn-"

  Lezard: *He stared at the sword in the man's liquefying-appearing body, triggering a flashback of The Financial Guild.* (His body is slightly different.)

  Rachael: "Nath, are you alright-?"

  Man: *His body recollected the droplets of water and he puffed out his reconstructing chest, shooting Nathan's sword into Rachael's shoulder.* "I have to destroy you.. Your Neurons drive my thirst."

  Luna: *She pulled the string to her bow and aimed.* "Windstream-"

  Destiny: (Luna! He will just continue to block our Azure Burst, yeup!)

  Luna: (But I wouldn't be a Lighten if I didn't stop tryin'!) "-Shot." *She shouted in thought and released the string, shooting an arrow made of wind towards the man.*

  Ginger: (Drive his thirst?) "Ey, what is your thirst?"

  Man: *He glanced at Ginger, as several water-filled bubbles materialised in front of him.* "Your Neurons!" *He spoke with a smile and ignored several explosions of water, as his bubbles blocked Luna's arrow.*

  Luna: (Windstream Shot, it still feels weird.) *She glanced at her lightning-made bow.*

  Destiny: (When our Soul Link-?)

  Luna: (Yea.)

  Rachael: "Ouch-" *She squinted her eyes in pain and watched blood run down her arm from her shoulder.*

  Lezard: *He focused his attention to Rachael and gasped, as if he was focused on the man's strange body.* "Holy fish-cakes, Razzypoo! Quick healing shot-"

  Rachael: *She ripped out the sword from her shoulder and stood up.* "Nath!"

  Luna: (Holy shit, Rach just pulled out that sword like it was nothin'!)

  Nathan: *He focused his attention to Rachael.* "You can't throw that far-"

  Karol: "Sacred dance, Power Up."

  Ginger: (A Rostic Dancer?!)

  Lezard: "HEALING IMPLOSION"

  Rachael: *She watched light swirl around her shoulder, noticing it close up the wound.* (Lezard, you're amazing.)

  Ginger: (Radiatons!-)

  Rachael: "Catch!-" *She threw the sword directly towards Nathan.*

  Nathan: *He leant back and swiped his arm downwards, catching the handle before it flew past him.* "Nothing we seem to do works on it!"

  Ginger: *She frowned in thought.* (I fear it may only have one weakness-)

  Nathan: "The destructive arts number twenty nine, Air Slash." *He sliced the sword to the side and watched the man's arm fall to the ground, before pulsing into a puddle of water.*

  Man: *He looked at his shoulder and watched strings of water spiral out of his body, quickly and easily forming into another arm.* "BUBBLE BLAST"

  Luna: "Windstream Shot." *She released the string and an arrow of wind hit the bubbles before they shot themselves towards Nathan.*

  Nathan: *He frowned, as it started to rain around him.* (How about his head? He can't regenerate his limbs if he's headless!-)

  Rachael: *She ran towards the man in an athletic-like manner.* "If he's water, then!-"
