Corrupted Radiatons

by Michael Rogers

  Blake: "Fufufu. You ain't got nothing to worry about."

  ?????: "State your reasoning?"

  Blake: *He raised his arm, revealing the green pearl to the woman.* "I got it, like, taken care of."

  ?????: *She focused back in front, as if she could see through the trees and into the distance.* "The vines? They're alive-"

  *A man and woman's screams could be heard, followed by the sounds of branches snapping.*

  ?????: "Just like that, they have been eliminated with the evidence."

  Blake: "Pretty sexy, huh?"

  ?????: *She lowered her arm and turned back around, facing Blake's back.* "Thou strive to protect the environment?"

  Blake: "I'm a Black-" *He paused and stared at the dirt underneath him, as the green pearl burst into a ring of tiny green sparkles.* "I dunno wat I am anymore."

  ?????: *She tilted her head to the side.* "Thou have the Tnardloicna bloodline?"

  Blake: *He shrugged his shoulders, as if he didn't care.* "I'll probably do my own thing."

  ?????: "Thy am called Arcadia."

  Blake: *He leant back and looked to the side, glancing at Arcadia.* "'Wazzup?"

  Arcadia: "Thy am confused. Thy've read your emotions, memories... Thou've done bad things, yet, thou retain a pure, misunderstood heart."

  Blake: "Pfft, don't give me that rubbish."

  Arcadia: *She smiled.* "Envy is your worst enemy."

  Blake: "Envy?" *He hissed and frowned.* "Wat's the deal with you? You talk all funny and, like, you're dressed admittedly sexy, but weird."

  Arcadia: "Envy is when-"

  Blake: "I know wat it means, hunny." *He hissed.*

  Arcadia: "Thou shall find the people that care about thou, once that weakness has been defeated."

  Blake: "You make no sense."

  Arcadia: *She placed her hand on her chest and pushed forward, causing it to suction inside of her.* "This is a token of my appreciation."

  Blake: *He slowly stood up, noticing his legs wobble.* (Shit, I need to bathe and rest-)

  Arcadia: *She pulled her hand out of her chest and threw a white pearl towards Blake.* "Take it."

  Blake: *He quickly raised his hand, catching the pearl.* "A Summonce Scarbra?"

  Arcadia: "Thy know it will come to use in dire need."

  Blake: "Wat will it summon? I can do nothing without a contract."

  Arcadia: "Thou don't need a contract if it's already established with one. Has your tribe or ancestors never handed one down to thou?"

  Blake: *He silently stared at the white pearl, looking at his beat up appearance in its reflection.* (It's true. I've always had to make my own Summonce Scarbras from scratch.)

  Arcadia: "If thou have no place to go. Seek Sakura Village."

  Blake: "Sakura Village? Seek? If you, like, want me somewhere, why not show me?!" *He turned around with a hiss and noticed Arcadia gone, only leaving behind a swirl of golden light.*

  *Blake paused and tightened his grip on the white pearl, causing it to disintegrate into a pulse of white sparkles.*

  Blake: "Sakura Village?" *He leant to one side and placed his hand on his waist.* "Envy? Like, wat was all that about?"

  *Blake stopped and giggled to himself, sighing in thought.*

  Blake: (And here I am talking to myself like a loser...) *He looked sad and started to walk forward.*

  ----------

  *Rachael, Nathan, Luna, Karol, Lezard and the champion found themselves directly outside a gigantic grey sphere.*

  Lezard: *He looked down, purposely stepping on tiny white pebbles.* "Jinkies! She transported us directly outside Surpreon."

  Rachael: *She carried Karol on her back and readied to take a step forward.* "We've been all over the place, haven't we?"

  Luna: "We. Were. Just. Here." *She grunted with growing anger.*

  Nathan: "Let's keep moving forward. One of the things I like about my family, is that we never take a step back."

  Rachael: "Hehe. I agree!"

  Luna: "Gay."

  Champion: "Oh my." *She spoke to herself with a growing smile.*

  Lezard: "Ooo, these old bones fill with love and-"

  *Two warriors ran straight through the solid wall, pointing spears towards the guild.*

  Lezard: "What a splendid welcoming." *He giggled and shook his bottom sarcastic-like.*

  Warrior A: "Who goes there?!"

  Warrior B: *He jabbed the spear at Rachael, causing her to step back.* "We felt a high spike in Neurons."

  Champion: "Oh my, they think we mean harm."

  Nathan: "We were teleported here-"

  Warrior A: *He tightened his grip on the spear, causing glyphic-like markings to appear up it.* "What business do you have here?!"

  Nathan: "We're here to see the ruler." *He watched the tips of the spears burst into flames.*

  Warrior B: "Lies!"

  Lezard: "Seems like getting teleported directly in front of the city wasn't a delicious thing after all."

  Luna: "Oi-" *She grunted in a half asleep, exhausted manner.* "Do we look like we mean any harm?"

  Warrior A: *He noticed Luna looking straight past him.* "She's blind?"

  Rachael: "Please let us through." *She leant forward and hopped slightly, adjusting Karol on her back.*

  Luna: (Destiny? You there?) *She thought to herself in concern.* (It's been a while since I've heard from you..)

  Warrior B: *He leant to the side.* "Is the ruler back yet?"

  Warrior A: "No. He's still with the others." *He mumbled back.*

  Luna: *She listened with heightened hearing.* "So, he ain't here." *She grunted to the guild.*

  Lezard: "Ooo!" *He wailed in defeat.*

  Rachael: "He's not?"

  Nathan: "Useless." *He spoke with his deep voice in disappointment.*

  Champion: "Oh my-"

  Warrior B: "How?" *He mumbled to himself, surprised.*

  Warrior A: *He stepped forward, causing the white pebbles to crunch under his boots.* "State your reasoning for being here-"

  ?????: "Hoh?"

  Lezard: *He looked to each side.* "A woman's relaxed, calm and professional sounding voice came from the other side of the wall."

  *Both the warriors turned around and noticed a tall, beautiful woman with long curly blonde hair step outside.*

  ?????: "What appears to be the problem?" *She glanced at the guild with her bright blue eyes.*

  Nathan: *He noticed the guards suddenly lower their spears.* (Is she their leader?)

  Warrior A: *He slightly looked down, intimated.* "Our scanners detected a sudden spike of energy-"

  Warrior B: "Directly outside the city."

  ?????: "Hoh?" *She took a step forward, observing each guild member in detail.* "None of you possess the ability of teleportation."

  Luna: "Who do you think you are, aye?" *She grunted at the woman.*

  ?????: "Perhaps the person that may or may not let you inside the city?" *She spoke in a condescending manner.* "And who do you believe you are?"

  Luna: "Name's Luna, shitnugget. Don't ya forget it."

  ?????: *She sighed.* "Only one person says that trivial word."

  Luna: "Huh?"

  Rachael: "You're right. None of us can teleport-"

  ?????: "Then explain how you arrived in such a manner?"

  Rachael: "Madora."

  ?????: *Her face momentarily lit up due to the name.* "I see." *She elegantly turned around and started to walk into the city.*

  Warrior A: "Teresa?" *He spoke with the utmost respect to the woman.*

  Teresa: "They pose no threat. Not while I am here." *She spoke so only the two guards could hear.*

  Luna: *She listened with heightened hearing.* (While she's here? Do you feel anything, Destiny?)

  Rachael: "Let's go, everyone." *She followed Teresa through the solid wall and stepped into the city, glancing at the markets.*

  Champion: "Oh my. I don't often come here when it's not Battling Oxident. So it looks quite different when
it's quiet."

  Nathan: "It looks very different when it's not busy." *He nodded his head at the champion in agreement.*

  Rachael: "Hehe. I was just thinking that-"

  *A man with a few pimples on his face ran up to Rachael and tightly hugged her, causing Nathan to stand in a battle-ready pose.*

  Teresa: "Tcch-" *She faced Nathan.*

  Rachael: *She readied to turn around and kick the man off of it.* "Hey?" *She paused in shock.* "T-Tyler?!"

  Tyler: "Rach!" *He shouted with a smile and stepped back.*

  Luna: "I know that nerdy sounding voice anywhere." *She spoke with a smirk.*

  Teresa: "How do you know this party, Tyler?"

  Luna: "First, we ain't no party! We're-"

  Champion: "The Rostical Guild."

  Rachael: "The One and Only Rostical Guild!"

  Nathan: "We're The Rostical Guild."

  Luna: "The Rostickal Guild!"

  Lezard: "The Delishy Yummy Guild of Happiness."

  Tyler: "Ha ha."

  Teresa: "Tcch. How troublesome." *She looked away.*

  Champion: *He looked at Nathan, noticing how close he stood to Luna.* (How cute. He's unintentionally been guiding Luna this entire time.)

  Tyler: "Luna." *He spoke with a hesitant smile.* "Your eyes-"

  Luna: "Yea, did 'em myself. Pretty kool contacts, aye."

  Tyler: "Contacts?"

  Rachael: *She shook her head and rolled her eyes.* "It happened after Fast Food Enterprise."

  Tyler: *He nodded his head, as if he knew what exactly Rachael meant.* "Please excuse me, but-"

  Luna: "Excused." *She cockily smirked.*

  Tyler: "Oh.." *He awkwardly paused, as if he wanted to ask Luna a question.*

  Rachael: "What was it?"

  Tyler: "Well.." *He looked at Luna, awkwardly scratching a pimple on his face.* "How did you get to where you are now.. Blind?"

  Lezard: "Ouchies. What a personal question our pizza faced man asked."

  Tyler: (P-Pizza face?)

  Rachael: "He's okay, Lezard."

  Lezard: "..." *He nodded his head and adjusted his cone-shaped hat, as if he was being defensive for Luna.*

  Champion: (We all stand by each other.)

  Luna: "My Scoldrant, Destiny."

  Tyler: (A Scoldrant?) "We've got a Scoldrant User in our party, too." *He squeaked with a smile.*

  Luna: "But I haven't heard her since."

  Tyler: *He looked over Luna's shoulders and around her feet.* "Where is she?"

  Luna: *She blindly placed both hands on her chest.* "She's inside me."

  Tyler: "I could go through the research facility logs and find anything out f-for you."

  Luna: "Kool." *She spoke with no enthusiasm.*

  Nathan: "Rach."

  Rachael: *She nodded her head at Nathan.* "Actually, that's why we're here."

  Tyler: "To help Luna?"

  Nathan: "We need to use your facility to help scan for something we're looking for."

  Tyler: "Oh."

  Rachael: "Could you please direct us to it?"

  Tyler: "I'm sorry, Rach." *He looked down and sounded disappointed.* "Nobody is allowed to freely walk in there."

  Luna: "Why?" *She grunted.*

  Tyler: "After Ridley, Season has restricted access to those able to enter."

  Champion: "Oh my, it's not like we're warriors."

  Tyler: "I know Rach very well. But it's not that easy."

  Nathan: "Same thing with Grey and Dawn." *He spoke to the guild, reminding them of what they already went through.*

  Rachael: "Do you know when Season will be back?"

  Tyler: "You've already met Season?"

  Rachael: "At Battling Oxident." *She smiled, glancing at the champion.*

  Teresa: "..." *She silently observed the guild.* (The woman known as Rachael. Her Neurons are very unusual to read. She is strong, but she has a second energy source that is not from this dimension.)

  Tyler: *He looked at each guild member.* "For those I-I haven't met, my name is Tyler Atkinson, and it's a pleasure to meet you."

  Lezard: "Naww, who can stay cranky at this little cutey, bwarharh." *He giggled and waved at Tyler.*

  Tyler: *He looked really awkward at Lezard.* "Hi-"

  Lezard: "My name is Lezard, and don't worry, I like ladies."

  Tyler: "Oh-" *He smiled while retaining some of his awkwardness.*

  Lezard: "Bwarharharh. Lezard can't keep up this charade, don't you remember me, quick fingers?"

  Tyler: "Quick fingers?" *He gasped with a smile.* "Lezard!"

  Lezard: *He giggled and shook his bottom.* "These old bones were hurt when you didn't recognise them sooner."

  Tyler: "S-Sorry." *He spoke with a smile.*

  Nathan: "I'm Nathan." *He reached out and shook Tyler's hand.*

  Tyler: *He withdrew his hand and held it, as if Nathan's grip hurt him.* "And-?" *He twiddled his fingers, looking at Karol on Rachael's back.*

  Rachael: "This is Karol. He needs rest."

  Teresa: "Tyler, by using one of your experimental paralysing vapours, you should be able to use a compound that will induce awareness in the Scoldrant."

  Luna: "Wat?"

  Tyler: *He looked surprised and nodded his head.* "That's an excellent idea. Luna, come with me."

  Lezard: "Jinkies, I thought we weren't allowed in?"

  Tyler: "She can wait outside."

  Luna: "Kool." *She spoke with no enthusiasm.* "After you, Tyler."

  Tyler: "Okay." *He spoke with a proud smile and quickly walked away.*

  Luna: "Pssht." *She rolled her eyes and stood on the spot.*

  Tyler: "Luna-" *He turned around to ask her a question and noticed she blindly stood on the spot.* (Oops-)

  Teresa: *She watched Tyler reach for Luna's hand, as he guided her to where he wanted to go.* "The Rostical Guild, explain yourselves."
