Not open for further replies.
Nathan listened to Elliot closely, a slight look of concern painted on his face- all though he tried not to show it. It seemed Elliot just wanted to test his powers. He let out a deep exhale but jumped as Junko spoke, not even seeing the girl there.

"Jesus Junko!" He hissed, a hand over his chest due to being startled. He looked over at Elliot who seemed upset, his words harsh. Nathan raked a hand through his hair, feeling drained.

"Elliot..." He said softly, grabbing the other man's hand.

@Atomic Knight
 
Elliot squeezed Nathan's hand in response though looked at him with some level of concern. "You don't approve...?"

"Uhh--" Junko side-eyed both of them. "Not sure what's going on here but I am royally pissed. All this noise is horrid for my complexion and we are totally separated from Makoto. At this rate, I guess Kyoko and Makoto will never meet up before lunch is over..."

Elliot shook his head. "Seems to me it's obvious what has to happen." He turned away from Nathan and raised a hand toward the largest piece of equipment, which was a big crane that carried a bunch of steel beams. It seemed pretty unsafe for a school, in Elliot's opinion. Even worse was the fact that the crane seemed stationary, just holding the beams in everyone's way. Elliot figured if he just removed those...

A small tear opened up near the beams that grew steadily larger and larger. It seemed unstable, more so than any tear Elliot had created back in his loop. Unfortunately for Elliot, it seemed the tear was too unstable to control. Instead of making the beams disappear, they suddenly exploded outward, causing them all to fly up into the air... and then down on the group.

"Someone protect me!" Junko screamed, cowering to the ground.

Elliot cried out, trying to open more tears to disappear some of the beams. While these were more succesful and he was able to remove some, he could not remove them all as they rained down.

Nathan gave Elliot a conflicted look as the other man asked if he didn't approve. Regardless Elliot let go of his hand moved to use his powers anyway. He felt anxiety rise as Elliot started to make a tear above the equipment, Nathan watching closely in worry. His heart sank as he knew things were starting to turn for the worse.

Seconds later, everything started crashing.

Nathan looked around frantically, hearing Junko's panic and Elliot's yelp. He had to think fast, he let out a curse before grabbing Elliot by the waist and picking up Junko in a pseudo-football hold and running backward. They fell to the floor in a heap, Nathan throwing his arms over them- preparing for impact.

"Get down!" He shouted.

@Atomic Knight @Yun Lee @Crunch @Jeremi @Ver @Lucky @Hall
 
"Ah, good...!" Makoto happily took the textbook and quickly made his way toward the door back into the hall. Unfortunately, he quickly found that it was stuck tight. He pushed against it vainly a few times before Claire stepped in. She slammed against it hard, harder than one might have expected of her, but still the door would not budge.

"This is annoying," she said.

@Takumi @Capri @Laundry

"Hehe, sure." Junko grinned ear-to-ear, obviously not heeding any sense of warning from Kyoko's words. "You need to learn to go with the flow a bit more!"

The trip back down the stairs was uneventful, but as soon as the dorms were approached, the group found themselves stopped by a bunch of construction equipment doing work on the hall.

"This stuff totally was not here a few minutes ago," Junko groaned. "How is anyone supposed to get to the dorms!?"

@Yun Lee @Crunch @Jeremi @Ver @Space_Candy @Lucky @Hall

Azura frowned, moving to try and help get the door to budge.

Claire's supposed super strength wasn't helping either. The Songstress began to worry, but did her best to remain calm.

"Is it blocked?" She muttered, before reaching for her discarded naginata that she rested against the nearest wall upon entering.

"Stand back, I'll try and cut it down." She offered. She doubted it'd work, but it was worth a try.

Wanda used her magic to form a protective barrier around those that needed it.

Biscuit meanwhile tackled the problem head-on and punched and kicked away steel beams that were coming dangerously close.

@Yun Lee @Crunch @Jeremi @Ver @Space_Candy @Lucky @Hall
 
So far so good. From this point, this school setting wasn't the epitome of danger, which was a good sign to go from. Loosely following some to keep track of what could happen from here, Blake saw that it was a whole escort mission to get Kyoko over to Makoto. Again, so far so good.

But then there was construction in the way of the dorms, and then an attempt to clear the way combusted instead.

❝ Whoa, crap! ❞ He exclaimed as his PWM cube to hastily project a hardlight shield to help prevent any harm to the group.

@Yun Lee @Crunch @Jeremi @Ver @Space_Candy @Lucky @Atomic Knight
@Hall
 
With the beams safely dealt with, the construction workers were left scratching their heads.

"O-Oh... you saved me!"

Junko threw her arms around Nathan, eliciting a sigh from Elliot. He gestured down the hall. "So..."

"Let's go," Billy said, leading the way for Kyoko and the others.

***

A swing with her weapon would cause the door to be cut in half and collapse. "W-Wow... you guys are pretty cool," Makoto said, gingerly stepping over the wreckage and into the hall. It was then that Billy and others arrived, escorting Kyoko.

Upon seeing Kyoko, Makoto's eyes went wide slightly. A hint of a smile appeared on his face and he suddenly seemed relaxed as he took a few steps toward her. "I'm glad I could see you before..." He trailed off, as if something more important had entered his thoughts.

He turned to look first at Billy, then back at Kyoko. With a sudden ferocity, he grabbed Kyoko's arms as if he was at risk of falling. "Kyoko!" he exclaimed, pulling her into an embrace. "What's-- What's going on?"

"Naegi, what are...?!"

The door to the room burst open and the kid who had sent Makoto's group on their meaningless task burst in.

9oJ5zXJ.png


"I'll hand it to you," he said, energy floating around him. "I did not expect their meeting to cause their awakening... quite so fast."

Billy turned on the boy, his eyes glowing. "That's because Revan's losing control. The Demiurge's power grows... I'm understanding him more now. I know now... we're on the final step."

"Not if I have anything to do about it!"

VHTREg4.png


"If you wanna get in our way, then don't complain when we throw you out on your ass!" Touma exclaimed, no longer content to beat around the bush at this stage.

"What the fuck is going on?!" Junko cried.

The blue-haired boy charged the group, but he and everything around the group suddenly disappeared. The world reconstructed around them, forming a mysterious an dream-like new world.

"What the...?!"

4dMoY0u.jpg


The group now stood on the shores of an ephemeral beach. The blue-haired boy was gone, along with Junko, Azure Kite and Dr. Langa, though everyone else remained. Makoto finally ended his embrace with Kyoko and turned to Billy.

"Billy... it's so good to see you, but what's happening? Where are we?"

When Billy looked back at Makoto, his eyes shown a brilliant blue. The way the young man carried himself seemed different suddenly. His gaze lingered a moment before he spoke, sounding like Billy, but with an undeniably different cadence.

zFdTiwG.png


"Makoto Naegi, Kyoko Kirigiri, out of all those currently aware across the multiverse, you two have more connections than all of the rest. Awakening the both of you was essential in pushing back Revan's control. Although... even with my growing power, I still was not able to bring everyone along."

"What... What are we doing here?" Kyoko inquired with a furrowed brow, rubbing her head as though she had just come out of a long daze.

"Huh...?" Makoto looked to Kyoko for a moment. "Everything I remember now actually happened? Revan remade reality?"

"Not yet, Makoto. He put the multiverse to sleep in order to give him time to finish. Unfortunately for him, we are about to undo all that he has done."

"S-Seriously?!"

"I have brought you all to a sleeping world of my own... one where I have been incubating new seeds."

Billy, or the Demiurge, slowly waved his arm, causing ripples of energy to flew through the air. Wind picked up, shaving away at an invisible force-field, slowly revealing a young man. The young man was inside some kind of sphere, sleeping.

DmvtO43.jpg


"What's... Sorey doing in there?" Makoto asked.

The Demiurge observed Sorey a moment before responding. "Still sleeping. He needs a bit more time. But there are two entities we must awake who are ready. Our time is almost up, so splitting up is necessary. Make your choices-- Time or Eternity."

Nathan kept his hold on both Junko and Elliot until he didn't hear the clattering of the beams anymore. He slowly opened his eyes, blinking a few times before looking around. When he deemed the surroundings safe, he sat up- reaching for Elliot's hand, but was quickly interrupted by a dramatic hug from Junko. He heard Elliot sigh- in a seemingly jealous action. He went to speak but the other group crashed through the door of the dorms. He watched as the two that were searching for each other greeted and then-

Everything started to change.

Nathan felt a falling sensation as yet another world melted away, he fell to the ground from the disorient. He gripped the sand as he sat, taking in the landscape which was a dark beach. He looked over and could only stare at Billy in awe, clearly recognizing that the man had changed. As he listened to his words, he was still thoroughly confused- though he had been part of this before it was still complex to him. He watched as Billy brought a sleeping man out of nowhere, his eyes curiously trained on the figure. Billy then prompted them.

The options were hard to Nathan, he thought for a moment before standing to his feet and looking over to Elliot.

"T-Time?" He said unsure, before reaching out and clutching Elliot's arm- preparing for them to be thrown around again.

❝ Then I'll go with Eternity. ❞ Blake didn't hesitate with his answer. It was clear enough that it was now or never, and they had to make this count. They've gotten this far so it was their only course of action.

"Time," Bridgette replied looking over to Nathan and Elliot.

"Does it really matter? I suppose I'll go to Eternity." Biscuit looked around to anyone else that was heading her way catching the eye of the Scarlet Witch who nodded.

"I think I'll go to Eternity as well."

"Very well then."

The Demiurge snapped his fingers and everyone appeared somewhere new.

For those who had chosen time, they appeared within the bowels of a large, dark temple. Magnificent architecture surrounded them as they stood on top of a raised stone platform. Before them was a large throne that looked to be made of crystal. A mysterious woman sat on the throne, looking aloof and bored.

OiQKE19.jpg


The woman turned her head only slightly to acknowledge the group that had appeared before her. She did not speak, but thoughts and ideas popped into the groups' heads. They were not words exactly, more like the idea of sentence was lodged into their mind.

What has happened? What was this sleep I have awoken from?

Billy appeared next to the group, looking upon the woman.

"Etro, Goddess of Time," he said out loud. "The Great Spirits were not all-powerful beings, reality had simply appointed them roles. That is why... new beings can be made to fit those roles. New Great Spirits."

The woman tensed on her throne.

This is not the world I know.

Red-hot anger flashed threw the minds of the group.

"What... the hell?" Claire groaned, looking down at her hands. She could see her body morphing before her eyes. Everyone's body would begin transforming, turning into versions of themselves from different points in their history. Raw memories of days long past flood into the minds of everyone.

"She is panicking," the Demiurge said. "You must calm her!"

Elliot reached out to grab Nathan's arm. "I feel like I'm shattering, Nathan!"

@Space_Candy @Lucky @Jeremi @Time

***

For those who had chosen eternity, they appeared at the top of large, stone tower. The entire realm could be viewed from this high up, even the beach where they had first appeared. Dark skies above blanketed the land in darkness, lit up only by the dim magical energies that went across the land.

Before the group was a young boy who floated casually off the ground. He looked almost tired as he gazed upon the group.

"Where I am?" he asked.

Billy appeared next to the group, looking upon the woman.

"Innominat, Empyrean of Suppression ," he said out loud. "You were revived by Artorius for the purpose of replacing Verius. That role would have been unsuitable for you... The Great Spirits were not all-powerful beings, reality had simply appointed them roles. That is why... new beings can be made to fit those roles. New Great Spirits."

"So, you also wish to use me..." The boy reached out and suddenly the group felt something clutch at their heads. Their emotions would suddenly dull and they would feel the urge to walk off the tower's edge. "Why should I be used by beings as weak as you all?"

Makoto shivered. "N-New Great Spirits...? Ugh... I can't think..."

"You have to fight it!" the Demiurge yelled. "Show him your will!"

Bridgette was almost overwhelmed by what was happening around them. She clutched unto Elliot's hand and tried to talk to Etro. "Please, you need to calm down, we're trying to set things right, but we need your help to do that!" She hoped that someone had an idea about what they were doing. The scope of it...Bridgette wasn't quite sure if she was enough to deal with it.

@Atomic Knight @Space_Candy @Lucky @Jeremi @Time




If they needed a display of will then Biscuit had more than enough to spare. "W-Who are you calling weak, you tiny pretty boy?! I'll show you what happens to people who look down on me!" She slammed her feet into the floor to signify that she wasn't budging an inch.

Wanda meanwhile was having a harder with her starting to make easy steps before she fell to her knees. "I...understand that you are scared, but we are not out to use you...we are out to seek your aid in righting this reality to what it's supposed to be."

GENTARO KISARAGI
@Atomic Knight @Gummi Bunnies @Jeremi


Gentaro looked confused. Billy mentioned these Great Spirits before, but Gentaro had no clue what they actually were.

He was about to ask what a great spirit even is before Innominat’s influence spread over his mind.

Gentaro became... hollow...

He began to move on his own, first deactivating his Fourze Driver, and then walking towards the edge of the cliff.

He was nearing the edge when the Demiurge’s words reached him.

“You have to fight it! Show him your will!”

They echoed throughout his mind. Repeating over and over again.

“You have to fight it! Show him your will!”
“You have to fight it! Show him your will!”
“You have to fight it! Show him your will!”


I... I have to fight it.

Gentaro stopped, falling to his knees.

I... I have to... I have to!

He trembled, but not in fear.


With every ounce of his will, Gentaro fought Innominat’s influence.

And he stood and turned towards Innominat.

He flipped four switches on his driver, and struck a wavering pose. Beads of sweat began to form on his forehead as the countdown began.

Innominat’s words echoed in his mind, yet so did the Demiurge’s.

THREE
“Why should I be used by beings as weak as you all?”
TWO
“You have to fight it!”
ONE
“Show him your will!”


“HENSHIN!”
tumblr_nb9ubw7Klt1s7edb8o1_500.gif


Gentaro reached his hands up in the air, and screamed to the sky.

“Uchuuu... KITAAAAAAAAAA!!!

His body screamed for him to turn around. He staggered, clearly taking all of his energy in order to fight Innominat’s influence.

“You’re not... being used! You... are... important! A man... Revan... he desires p-power! You... you must... you must... you must take his power! You need to, or else... or else... or else you might die!”
 
"Very well then."

The Demiurge snapped his fingers and everyone appeared somewhere new.

For those who had chosen time, they appeared within the bowels of a large, dark temple. Magnificent architecture surrounded them as they stood on top of a raised stone platform.

Azura had decided to go with those who picked time. She felt her eyes widened as her body changed and morphed, as memories long past were brought forth.

When told to try and calm Etro, the Songstress took a breath and did what she thought could help, she sang in an attempt to soothe the Goddess of time, her pendant glowing softly as she did so. She vaguely remembered singing to Shigure when he was little and their many duets throughout the years, as well as her mother teaching it to her, but tried to focus on Etro as she tried to reach out to her.

032fc9c63bb738ed2bcab1dd6b140311b7b89f7e.jpg


"You are the ocean's gray waves, destined to seek
Life beyond the shore just out of reach
Yet the waters ever change, flowing like time
The path is yours to climb

In the white light, a hand reaches through
A double-edged blade cuts your heart in two
Waking dreams fade away,
Embrace the brand-new day
Sing with me a song of birthrights and love
The light scatters to the sky above
Dawn breaks through the gloom, white as a bone
Lost in thoughts all alone...
"

She placed one hand on her chest, her gaze remaining on Etro as she sang, her gaze was steady and calm and she hoped it helped. Bridgette had tried to reach through already, and she hoped that she could help reinforce the message that they only wished to help Etro and keep her from panicking further.

She kept singing, softly yet with every intent to sing until the other either calmed or lashed out emotionally.

"You are the ocean's gray waves, destined to seek
Life beyond the shore just out of reach
Yet the waters ever change, flowing like time
The path is yours to climb
Embrace the dark you call a home,
Gaze upon an empty, white throne
A legacy of lies,
A familiar disguise

Sing with me a song of conquest and fate
The black pillar cracks beneath its weight
Night breaks through the day, hard as a stone
Lost in thoughts all alone

The path you walk on belongs to destiny, just let it flow
All of your joy and your pain will fall like the tide, let it flow
Life is not just filled with happiness, or sorrow
Even the thorn in your heart, in time it may become a rose
A burdened heart sinks into the ground
A veil falls away without a sound
Not day nor night, wrong nor right
For truth and peace you fight

Sing with me a song of silence and blood
The rain falls, but can't wash away the mud
Within my ancient heart dwells madness and pride
Can no one hear my cry

You are the ocean's gray waves, destined to seek
Life beyond the shore, just out of reach
Yet the waters ever change, flowing like time
The path is yours to climb
You are the ocean's gray waves...
"

Her pendant dimmed, but she kept her eyes squarely on Etro, a tired smile coming to her face.

"We just want to help, please, calm down. Let us help you." She spoke up, holding her hands out in what she hoped was a calming gesture. She assumed that the Demiurge was asking-or more suggesting given the way he said it-for Etro to fill in the role of one of the Great Spirits. Or at least, something along those lines.

❝ G-gah... ❞ Blake gasped out before falling to one knee in attempt to not move at all. He instinctively reached for his PWM cube on his belt, but stopped. If they were to prove themselves to Innominat, then he would have to do this with what he can do by himself. So, he sloppily got himself standing back up, flinching and twitching from the subconscious notions to move toward that cliff. He felt like he was going to faint from all this, from trying to flood his own mind with the same thought over and over to keep himself together.

Everyone is counting on us. Everyone is counting on us. Everyone is counting on us.

Everyone is counting on me...

Even when everything in his body wanted to go numb and shut down, Blake managed to stand his ground while gritting his teeth, and soon, he found an opening to speak.

❝ Everyone is... counting on us... because we've... made it... so far! ... and no way... in my life... am I going to... use you... no one here will... we're just working... together to ensure that everyone can... live as freely as they can! ❞ Blake managed to blurt out in-between breaths, then sporting a stupid grin on his face. ❝ Heck, until you're convinced... I'm up for... doing this for a whole lot longer!! ... you can count on that!!! ❞

" We just want to help save the multiverse. I'm sorry that we took you from your home, but we need your help because someone is trying to reshape the whole world and change everything that was. Goddess of time, we need your help to make things whole,"
he replied, hoping that would work.

Nathan felt his stomach drop like he was in an elevator as he was snapped into a new location. He looked around the temple curiously- it was unlike any place they had traveled before.

The woman on the throne was beautiful- he couldn't help but admire her, that thought soon sizzled away with new foreign thoughts making Nathan grip his head slightly. He watched Billy out of the corner of his eye as he walked next to them, speaking to her. He noticed as the woman got visibly upset, the feeling spearing through his body causing him to curse at the sensation.

He felt horror wash over him as he felt himself change, morphing to younger and older versions, one that was angry and riddled with guilt, the next his usual self. It made him want to puke, the only thing tearing him out of his thoughts was Elliot's distraught voice crying out to him, the man grabbing him roughly.

"Elliot- I-" He panicked, clinging to him- his nails digging into his skin. As Bridgette went to Elliot, Nathan grabbed her- the three now in a tight hug.

"I- I don't know what to fucking do!" Nathan yelled, distress clear in his voice as he felt himself changing again.

"Fucking calm down!" he demanded trying to sound stern, but his voice wavered against his will.
