A lanky man with a burgundy goatee grinned as he was awaiting and squatting, drawing shapes guided by his finger with mauve colored energy on the concrete of the alleyway he was tracked to by a sleuth. "Did you have a grand ole time squeezing the innocence out of my junior, masked snoopy?" He questioned the lengthy-haired gen-oath officer that stood behind him. Kacey silently glared in his direction while stretching out his arms. "Sure, did. He didn't tell me enough but I'm certain you'll surely divulge what I need." He replied as he kept his distance. The lanky Bergandy goatee stranger chuckled as he held his hands on his hip. "I mean just let me know of what you're curious about, officer?" He responded after a brief moment of silence.
Kacey continued his dagger filled expression. "Your junior told me that you and an entire otherworldly nation plan to invade soon. This wasn't part of his imagination, was it?" He questioned with a curious tone. The burgundy goatee stranger grinned unhingedly. "Invasion is one, ehh, portion of the plot. Our queen plans on dominating this world as she successfully conquered a few others in our history, not to mention, removing the gift that our God embodies from you and a couple of billion natives." He answered the lengthy-haired sleuth before calming his laughter that followed.
Kacey Makya held a blank expression as he had clenched his fists tightly. "I understand. That's all which I require confirmation on for now." He responded with a calm tone. Alyi's sleuth fired a dart from his left arm's gauntlet, incapacitating the lanky burgundy haired stranger from meters away.
A few early mornings previously. The queen's burgundy scout awoke from his slumber from a steward in the royal estate that entered his living chambers. "Stop being obnoxious, Pauldrie!" He shouted as he sat up shirtless. The neatly dressed steward shook his head. "YOU'RE SUCH A HEAVY SLEEPER though SIR!" He shouted after yawning. The queen's shirtless bergundy haired scout tossed a pillow blasting the center of the steward's forehead. "Shut up, control that volume!" He spoke with a tiresome tone. The neatly dressed steward rubbed his forehead after it hit the ground. "Sir, Queen Anastasia has requested a meeting with her royal circle to discuss matters regarding the prince." He informed the final royal council before calmly stepping away. The queen's burgundy scout rested his head on his chest before tossing away his cover. He entered his living chamber's bathroom and turned on the sink. While wiping his face he recalled the prince's face. "I'll save my other pea soon enough, Ana." He promised himself in his thoughts as he wiped away his eye's boogers. A man part of the royal circle with peach colored hair waited for him outside as he arrived within line of sight of the council's chamber. The peach haired council member greeted the burgundy scout with a handshake and a bump of their fist. "Yo, Em, heads up that this discussion is happening because our realm technology has enough power to finally send you today." Said the scout's peach haired associate with vim in his tone. The queen's burgundy scout glanced away as a smile crept on his face. "Sooner than I expected." He kept to himself. The scout's peach haired associate snapped his fingers. "Yeah, excitement can be conveyed by dramatically looking away, sure– just maybe don't be surprised if you lose an arm. We have a single creature to power it from the spatial phenomenon that brought it over." He forewarned his burgundy goatee associate.
The queen's scout opened the council chamber's doors with both of his hands as the peach hair associate followed him in. "Whatever. An arm, two legs or my head no matter the cost of seeing him again, count on me to make sure he's safe and sound, An." He replied with a tone of unwavering confidence in his voice. The two had a third join in and be seated beside them who kept a faraway expression on him. The council member with the distracted expression focused his gaze towards the queen's burgundy scout. "Our queen Anastasia brought this up to me and I'll gladly share this with you, Em, before she arrives and prepares you. Anastasius has likely defected from the royal family and been under the thumb of another authority in the foreign realm." He informed his associate. The queen's burgundy haired scout jaw dropped and shifted into an O shape.
The burgundy haired stranger heard his queen's voice shouting as he awoke with his hands uncomfortably tied above his head and suspended above the ground of the mysterious place he realized that he was moved in. He surveyed the area seeing his violet eye-masked clad captor writing on a desk but what caught his eye had been the photo of a masked person with the word suspect near them. "Her suspicions are barely ever incorrect but I really don't want to believe it being true myself about him." He thought to himself as he kept his gaze fixed on the photo of the masked figure searching for any detail that could help confirm the suspect in question.
Kacey fixed his posture, sat his pencil on the desk and moved his attention away from his notes before changing his eyes over towards his burgundy haired hanging captive. "Still as cooperative as before or have your feelings changed since?" He questioned his captive. The tied up burgundy haired captive nodded with a curious expression on his face. "That masked figure's name wouldn't happen to be Anastasius, would it?" He asked curiously with a quieter tone. The question that the captive asked was left unanswered yet the blank and unreadable expression the sleuth held on his face left him irritated. The tied up burgundy haired stranger shook his head with his own distraught expression. He took a breath inwards before exhaling mauve shaded energy filling the sleuths entire base of operations like smoke.

As the sun continued to bless the citizens of Seyort with warmth. Anastasius' communication device began alerting him of a message. He sat up on his gargantuan pet's back to read it. He read a request of assistance from his city's commissioner with a grim expression. The oath's inheritor of mauve leapt off the gargantuan's back but refused to fully leave him without a hug filled with warmth from both of them. He swiftly marched to find his partners beginning with Codagan. Anastasius found him on the rooftop in his uniform and gear, though he was on the ledge. "Err— what in the great realms are you doing, Coda?" He questioned with a puzzled expression. Codagan pointed at the blunderbuss after he held it high up. "I'm finding myself falling from heights way more than I've ever since being on the team so I figured practicing propelling myself up and working on my trajectory would be helpful." He fixed his gaze before answering. Anastasius' eyes widened before nodding and stepping away. "Good, then hopefully you've practiced well. We'll need you to have our backs a few times in the skies because we've been called by chief Decartes to face something big." He replied prior to a tiresome sigh. The oath's inescapable visionary followed Anastasius before Kiyo Chilleday, after placing a portrait of his child on his room's desk, heard and decided to join on his own in their headquarters' hall. The Seyort Trio journeyed to the location they were sent on their communication devices. Seyort Chief of law enforcement Decartes immediately fixed his gaze towards the Seyort Trio when he heard their arrival. "Gather, team! One round and massive fish we've identified as a Dendan. It's so cute but it's sinking and terrorizing lake chisendom's fishermen. The clean up unit takes care of the rest if the situation becomes gory, just be sure to defeat it so no more lives are lost, guys." He rallied with an energetic tone. After speaking to the city's anti-otherworldly combat unit, the chief of police commanded the beat officers and ordinary combat unit under his authority to evacuate the area. The oath's rough gravity and inescapable visionary pounded fists. Kiyo surveyed the size of the lake and caught a glimpse of its size. "I'm almost skilled enough to lift it out of the water. Damn." He said with a disappointed tone. Codagan tapped the left of his head with his left finger. "I could drop us in the water in glass boxes but the question is what we do next?" He thought aloud. Anastasius rested his chin on his chest as he shut his eyes tightly. "It has a broken heart and is rather more intelligent than a giant fish would be expected." He thought to himself. Codagan unholstered his blunderbuss and began admiring its dark exterior. "This won't be of much use either, looks like we'll need way more firepower than what we currently have, guys." He added to his earlier thoughts and suggested to his team before putting it away. The gargantuan sea creature brought itself the nearest it's been to the surface Im their presence and released an uncanny moan. Anastasius gasped before gesturing to his teammates to hear him. "No firepower is necessary, I can get through to it and mend the broken heart it has fueling its rampage." He informed his teammates. The rampaging aquatic terror was defeated without violence being necessary which left Codagan and Kiyo shocked yet also one was pleased.
Codagan sighed from his exhaustion on the couch in their living quarters, both legs propped up. "It has to be incredible to be able to achieve feats without having to resort to physical activity, eh, Ana?" He asked the oath's heir of mauve. Kiyo entered the living quarters wiping his face with a towel. "It has to be incredibly boring, I mean— the questionable ethical aspect of his powers has to be incredibly interesting." He chimed in before a slight chuckle. Anastasius tilted his head slightly. "Questionable ethical aspect of this gift meaning what?" He questioned with a voice filled with curiosity. Kiyo nodded as his brows rose slightly. "Have you ever manipulated a woman to romantically fall right back into love with you again, huh, Ana?" He questioned as he also squinted the slightest he could manage. Anastasius crossed his arms and formed a confident smirk. "I would never have a girl as a friend, yuck, I've had plenty of women as friends though and why would I ever manipulate them to romantically fall in love with me— errr, especially again if they lost attraction?" He answered with confidence before returning questioning. Kiyo held an expression of confusion on him. "Do you— you do know what a girlfriend is, right?" He questioned the oath's heir of mauve as he grew further baffled. Anastasius shook his head. "An immature female that you consider a friend— is there anything that I'm actually missing?" He answered with the same confidence. Codagan chuckled while he collected his blunderbuss and khopesh off the ground he exhaustedly dropped them on. The Seyort trio heard a familiar tune entering the living quarters. "He's not our comrade. He's an otherworldly invader manipulating all of us as his specific kind especially enjoys." The trio heard from Kacey's voice as he stepped silently towards them. Kiyo and Codagan trained their gazes together towards the heir of mauve. Kiyo laughed before adopting a grim expression. "You better come with proof of your accusations or we'll all have to walk you out of Seyort's Gen-Oath base of operations." He threatened with a tone matching his appearance. Kacey grabbed a much larger version of a device that resembled their official communication devices and zoomed in. "I had the fortune of recovering footage displaying his inhuman trait in action from a business that he worked near prior to becoming an officer. Color shifting lunula and nail plate." He informed his teammates while displaying the proof on the screen of the device. The oath's gravity and inescapable visionary both held expressions of disbelief and confusion on their faces. Kiyo's expression shifted into disgust before it evolved into rage. "You stupid piece of garbage, prepare to die, betrayer!" He shouted with wrath in his voice while approaching the oath's heir of mauve.
Anastasius backed away from his comrades slowly approaching him. "Signs of fifty percent successful manipulation— movement as if they were carrying extra weight on their bodies and abrupt unstable breathing?" He noted observations and recalled in his thoughts, "Their fighting the brilliant work of the enforcer of paranoia but they stand no chance in hell of breaking free in their lifetime." He finished before noticing they were backing him into an actual corner of their living quarters. Codagan rapidly tapped his own chest with his finger. "You trusted us with your life in our hands but couldn't bring yourself to trust us with this secret?" He screamed with a wrathful tone. Anastasius felt the wall behind him as his three fellow gen-oath officers stood in front of him with a helmet, a scornful expression and a squint that forced the hairs on the back of his neck to stand up. "I'm fortunate enough to take advantage of the struggle now!" He said to himself before tossing up his hand and forced the three to become timid. The oath's heir of mauve stole Codagan Dugan's blunderbuss from its holster equipped on his waist and continued to sprint towards their headquarters' wide window that gave them an exquisite view of the bustling city. He continued to charge the window and smashed through, leaping out of the headquarters before plummeting down to the sidewalk. Anastasius recalled observing the oath's inescapable visionary fighting with the blunderbuss he was hoping to resolve his fall.

The citizens of the city trio had still found their sun bright and clear high in their skies. Livia Burr ambled towards her base of operations under Alyi's bright above and noticed an associate unexpectedly awaiting for her return. "Struggling with a monster problem for us to resolve?" She questioned the rarely spoken to helmeted associate. Anastasius stood on her home's steps with his cheeks buried in his palms. "Yes." He answered with a grim voice. Livia noticed his tone and hastily sat next to him on the pair of stairs. "It sounds like you're actually facing way more than just a monster so I'm going to need you to catch me up with no lies, An." She requested with a sincere voice.
Anastasius glanced away with the first expression of guilt she's seen on his face while his hands were clasped together. "At the beginning— is maybe where I should start?" He spoke with a hesitant tone, "I'm not from this— earth. I'm from another place somewhere else. An earth that I don't have a clue about how to return to so I decided to make the best of my stay here. Denizens from my world have the ability to essentially— hack an aspect of a person. I hope you and the others can forgive me but I understand if you have to lock me up or slay me? I understand the loss of any trust for secrecy." He finished informing his rarely spoken associate with a repentant tone. Livia nodded before perusing her lips. "Alright. Alright. So, the specifics of what we're facing now?" She inquired with a curious tone. Anastasius glanced upwards as his eyes widened slightly. "Do you believe me on the confession or not or— what's the conclusion you've reached on the otherworldly thing, Liv?" He questioned with a skeptical tone heard in his voice. Livia straightened her posture and crossed her arms with her chin resting on her fist. "Everyday or other day one of us confronts a creature from somewhere else. They've been scaley, furry, ferocious, tranquil and I mean you get the gist of that yapping. I expected to encounter a dorky and socially awkward otherworldly visitor at some point. This unit isn't about punishing or killing indiscriminately, oaf. That's not what I remember ever signing up for, at least. Officially from Olivia Burr, welcome to earth, Dork." She responded before gesturing with her tongue out and a thumbs up.
Anastasius stood frozen refusing to remove his eyes off of her before his abrupt low chuckling from her response had grown much louder. "Thanks, Liv. My official introduction, I'm Anastasius Eslevelni belonging to the realm of the deity mauve." He responded with a grateful tone. The duo heard a loud thud before a mechanical humanoid slammed the door of Livia's living quarters shut. The oath's heir and perky bladesmith ease into combat ready stances. The mechanical humanoid froze where he stood before slowly waving. "There's a civil war brewing right now regarding this unit. The otherworldly threat is utilizing Kacey to recruit the others as his goons." Said with its mechanical voice. Anastasius successfully calmed his Livia's nerves. "This is with us and he's correct. The otherworldly threat's name is Emiel and he works for my mother as an enforcer, bodyguard and scout." He informed the pair. Livia froze filled with shock. "How was he actually able to break in— I thought we had some of the best security systems?" She questioned with a curious tone. Anastasius began scratching his hip. "Distracted easily, aren't you?" He questioned under his voice. Livia gasped and she made an expression that informed the two a light bulb had lit up in her head. "He works for your mom— so, she's a criminal leader or something?" She inquired with a tone of wonder. Anastasius clasped his hands together once again before gazing upwards to the right. "I'm a prince and she's the queen of the otherworldly nation I'm from and did I neglect to mention that my mom is the m— who we're up against?" He informed her with a tone of confidence until the end turning into nervousness. Livia held an unamused expression on her mien. "Easily neglects the important details, don't you?" She returned with a mocking tone. The voice from the mech lowly sighed. "We've got a couple of options left. Accept the civil war and regroup with our guaranteed allies in Generil, Artus and his siblings or risk your lives in an attempt to stop the conflict by reaching the crossbow dork and the mace clown in Alyi hopefully before the others so which?" They were questioned by their mysterious ally. Anastasius and Livia formed thoughtful expressions as they pondered on their choices.

The oath's perky bladesmith led her princely and mechanical comrades to the base of operations of the oath's sunny brothers. The perky, princely and mechanical trio found the pair of brothers' home seemingly in perfect condition. Livia happened upon a poster on the ground. "Blair would never allow Bliant or anyone to disrespect something about pottery like the poster of an event that he keeps from his childhood being on the floor." She informed the princely and mechanical duo. Anastasius picked up the poster and sat it on a nearby couch in the room. "Emiel happens to have an unbelievable hatred for pottery. Then if that is the case, he must've knocked it down meaning he was in fact here. Must've taken them away without a fight?" He questioned and pondered as his gaze remained trained on the poster.
Livia couldn't take her eyes away from her rarely spoken associate. "You have terror exposed from your eyes, Ana." She commented before taking a glance at the poster herself. Anastasius gasped with widened eyes and his mouth gaping. "I've actually got a plan but first I've got to set the pieces on the board perfectly, Liv." He informed his rarely spoken associate. Livia slowly nodded with her hand on her hip. "Alright idea guy— We're heading off to find the gang in Generil and assistance from Lyly, I guess?" She asked rhetorically. Anastasius continued staring at the fallen poster with a thoughtful expression. "Our friend made of metal already told the gang about our otherworldly tourist and to regroup in a secretive location but I can't go with you— the plan I'm crafting requires me to cultivate as much of my energy as possible before Emiel decides to make another move, Liv. I need quiet." He informed her before he sat on one knee on the brothers' base of operation's living quarters with his hand in an open palm. Livia slowly licked her teeth while tapping her chin. "Comfortable cultivation position. Alright. Take as much time as it's gonna take you but it better be a damn great plan, Ana, for leaving me against a mind hacker like this guy." She replied as she held her fists on her hips. Anastasius breathed in with relief and a low chuckle. "You've had an idea that I was keeping something from myself this whole time?" He questioned with a soft tone.
Livia shrugged before glancing elsewhere. "Since you brought it up— I expected to find another creature resembling a human because Kacey and I had already encountered one like him a while ago. Kacey told me that we faced off against a visitor from a foreign world. He had similar abilities to you but I assumed that he was unrelated because other things were on my mind and I trusted him to handle it." She explained with a quieter voice. Anastasius gently rubbed his chin before nodding. "Now you know everything but we've still got to figure out a lot— together." He responded with a nod. Livia re-equipped her helmet before she held her clenched fists near her neck. "This mechanical guy and I are going to find Ember, Lyle and Artus now but we'll regroup with you to stuff Emiel in a trash can somewhere. We've got this, Ana." She replied with powerful resolve in her tone.
