Mira- Seems we have a guest...
Sam- This...we were expecting.
The Black attired entity, Crestfallen, takes shape into a star as he lands down to confront the two, who have no idea how he stuck up in the area without being a high level Quasar 🌌 user. Seems like Mira is using that doll trick to control Eric.
Crestfallen-*in a sassy tone* Ladies...ladies...ladies....and you...my dear comrade should I say...the more you try to control people, the more people will try to control you. *wicked laugh*Hahahaha.
Sam- Careful, something about him isn't right...how did he enter here, even though he isn't a Quasar 🌌 user??
Mira- Apologies but this Doll will be your end, dear desolated from reality friend~
Mira decided to break his left hand and chops off the left hand.
Crestfallen- You seem to be quite slow.
Mira - No reaction? Didn't develop any emotions even after being on a date?
Crestfallen swoops left and right as both Sam and Mira take guard.
Mira- Ugh...Sam..I think it's time for that.
Sam- But then what about the special guest?
Mira - It's now or never~
Sam- Something about him seems off...
Sam opens a portal which appears to suck both Mira and Eric into a Pocket- Dimension of Echelon.
Crestfallen-This power!!! ohhh~
As Cresfallen accepts his fate, crosses his arms as he gets sucked and Mira accompanied by her massive Whale both land on to what seems to be a huge empty Echelon, a replication of the original.
Mira- Welcome to the 'Altar of the Sky'. The rules are simple and someone such as yourself probably knows the rules. Now having a disadvantage against me are we~?
Crestfallen- Say...what is one of us doing making deals with an Overseer? You want me to report you to the Vanguard?
Mira- We'll see dear~ firstly you have to defeat me now and here. But look at you without a left arm...what if I took your right arm too~?
She tears of the right arm as well, but just like before Crestfallen refuses to give a reaction such as pain or agony.
Mira- Bold reaction from you, not even reacting to your own hand getting torn apart. Guess that's what killing off an entire race with any reason makes you become.
Crestfallen looks up into the fake sky of this domain and feels a bit of sorrow.
Mira- Feeling emotions now are we??
Crestfallen-*laughs sadistically* why...are we chosen?
Mira- Eh?
Crestfallen- To lose to arms? To kill an entire race? To show emotions? I wouldn't need that if I had any loved ones to begin with.
Mira- Try to act all cool and sadistic you want, nihilistic bastard.
Crestfallen- Hm, not the first time Ive been called that. So, is the doll all you've got? Even after being able to wield flux is teleportation...the only method you use with the power of the Quasar?
Mira smirks at Eric as she tears apart his left leg. Crestfallen appears to have lost balance and fallen to the ground.
Mira- Look at you, looking all like a pathetic vegetable..! Is this what one of my 'comrades' are supposed to be like?
Crestfallen- I see.
Crestfallen uses the power of the Radiance 🕯️ to move around as he tries to converse.
Crestfallen-*his words start to become a bit sympathetic and low* I asked you a question, yet you didn't even bother to answer it...
Mira- Why should I? You wanna know the dealings right?
As there's so much blood in the domain, Mira without hesitation removes another one of Crestfallen's limbs, this time his right leg as blood flows through his body as he's bleeding like he has been cleaved.
Crestfallen- Ouch *his tone is very depressing as countless thoughts flow into his mind*
You know the hardest part about killing a race? The burdens and grudges, we become to people, and I noticed that the girl you made a deal with was an...Alien. So do it, kill me. This is where things must end.
Mira- Well how pathetic and shameless your death is, just accepting defeat to someone who doesn't even work with combat. Ahahaha~, you won't be remembered..... Consort of Orion.
As Mira rips off his head from the doll, the final blow is delivered to Crestfalled leaving him in a completely immovable state, killing him for good.
Crestfallen-*in a dying voice* Ha-ha- Tha-nk y--.
Mira- How pathetic, a member of the vanguard dying hopelessly without any challenge...well my little trick seems to be quite the challenge for even someone supposedly said to be of my level. Who fucking cares? He's dead, there's only one more step to the plan.
SAAAAAM, let me out!!
As she screams her name, The winner of the duel appears to be the Consort of Cetus, Mira, the daughter of the Opulent one, Antharas.
Sam- Very well, I suppose you have won this battle now, as our dealings shall proceed I will let you out of the domain.
As Sam, uses her Quasar 🌌 ability to bring her back to the original Echelon, it seems things are taking a different route.
Sam- So your next goal is to murder the Opulent Antharas?
Hm? Why is your mask still on? The game's over.
Mira- Ahahaha~ you should keep wondering why...my dear Sam. You, you foolish alien, you actually thought that I would help you in killing one of my comrades?
Sam- I see, it's just as he predicted...
Mira- And now it is time for Echelon to have a new Overseer, the Consort of the magnificent Cetus! Wait what did you say?
Sam- Your comrade is not dead, and the real me is not even in Skyveil. This is just a hologram version of who I am. I will report your doings to Antharas, and you, will be trapped here, in Skyveil, for however long you're supposed to be here.
Mira- Holdupholdup!!! This -
Sam- Well you've 'virtually' betrayed me so I have no reason to even help you or listen to what you say anymore.
As the hologram version of Sam keeps speaking there appears a tall, blonde man, it appears to be Eric.
Eric- Oh hoho! Mira, you really thought you could hit two birds with one stone? You barely even hit us the air!
Mira- You fucking bastard...you..you out of all people decide to side with the Alien???
Eric- Apologies, but I couldn't resist myself to this beautiful alien lady so I decided to offer my life to atone for my sins, or rather warn about you dealing against her.
Sam- This gentleman is the true overseer of Echelon, had it not been his cautious approach, who knows which part of the whale this little universe would've been in.
Eric- Ahahah!! Well said Miss Sam, you never know what the doll dealer is dealing with. Anyways that's one less person to worry about now.
Mira- You fool, just wait till I contact the other members of the Vanguard to let them know about your betrayal!!
Eric- Sorry! internet in Skyveil is disabled but only the holograms connected via some areas of Echelon are accessible....via the permission of the overseer of course hahah!!
Well then it's just another half an hour before your esteemed father arrives.
Mira- Im going to rip your balls off the moment I get out of here, just you wait. And hey don't ignore me-
Eric- Apologies, white haired bitch, I have a dance to attend *gives Mira a very scary glare which scares the hell out of her*.
The hologram is cut off as Mira is left alone without any network connection. The entirety of Skyveil suporesses the power of the Constellations and the power of the Flux.
Mira just sits down and decided to play the waiting game, but she is furious with what has happened here. Meanwhile at the Casino Outlet.
Sam- I know I have plenty of reasons to try and attempt to kill you, but since you helped me, I...want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. Thank you very much Eric Larson.
*She hugs him as Eric smiles pleasantly*
Eric- No, please, I just know...I have to atone for my sins, you can even kill me now, I don't deserve life.
Sam- Please don't say that...you've saved millions of innocent lives today by playing smart against your own comrade, getting your entire body bled into pieces. I shall hereby forgive your 'sins'.
Eric smiles as he draws back from the hug and goes to wherethe trio are. But before that he says a few words to Sam.
Eric- Even if you forgive me, your ancestors and the innocent boys, girls that I have murdered shall never forgive me. I'm still sorry but right now.....
I wish to lead a peaceful life.
Now if you will excuse me I have a dance to attend to.
As there are very few minutes left on the clock before the special guest is said to arrive at Echelon, Eric meets up with Lyria, Bolt and AAA.
Lyria- So...nothing out of the ordinary happened?
Eric- Nothing....out of the ordinary happened
Bolt- Guys language! You're making AAA feel very confused.
AAA- Really? Im supposed to be the brains of the group, yet you three seems to know about something I don't.
Bolt- Eric, if I may?
Eric- Well sure, go on ahead partner~
Bolt explains everything to AAA, as Lyria just silently listens and partly feels guilty for not telling AAA about it earlier.
AAA- Wow Lyria, just like that ignored me after you found Bolt?Are you his personal assistant or something?
Lyria- Better to prevent the panic than to start it and make you develop anxiety.
AAA- Well who knows, but if this guy is a Vanguard, he speaks like quite the gentleman for someone of such dangerous authority.
Eric- You flatter me miss....anyways I have been a part of many crises, one such as erasing races that you have heard from them and one such as losing a life, that is right now and then coming back to life..by my authority as Consort.
Bolt- Hmm, the Consorts are really powerful beings who are capable of using both Flux and the power of the stars themselves it seems.
Lyria- Boom! You got it?
Bolt- I can connect all the dots now, just 10 more minutes and we will probably get a chance to dig into more of this.
Lyria- Eric.
Eric- Yes..? My lady?
Lyria- What are your goals after the dance?
AAA- Well I feel that since that vanguard is trapped in Skyveil, things will be a lot less chaotic but, his actions will change if anything goes opposite within Skyveil.
Eric - *claps his hands* you truly are the genius of this group as well as share a decent amount for chemistry with me, Miss AAA!! And yes you are right indeed, that's what will happen if things go South.
AAA- So Lyria, Bolt, another 10 minutes for the guest to arrive. What will you both do then?
Bolt- Let's discuss about that after the dance party. For now I think we should just stay hidden and watch his movements.
Eric- It's always good to be wary of opulent people such as him, what you're doing is an excellent decision from my point of view.
Lyria- No one asked for your point of view.
AAA- And no one asked you not to trust me, Bolt would not know whom to follow since he's new but other than that, you are just being overly protective of me.
Eric- Ahaha exactly, if you're a little more braver, you wouldn't have worried about telling her the truth, I mean myself... What can I do by just chatting inside your head? Make it explode?
Bolt- Well....that was certainly a possibility that we couldn't ignore. Even I don't know how I was able to connect to your conversation.
Eric- To simply put it, the anxiety levels stock up in this group thanks to the one and only, Lyria!
Lyria- Tch, Shut the hell up will you?
And I apologise AAA, I guess telling you wouldn't have made much of a difference either so please accept my apology.
AAA- It's fine but hey, cheer up, I do like how cautious you are.
Bolt- Seems there are another five minutes left till the arrival of the special guest. So Eric, what about our training session? I feel pathetic being weak.
Eric - Oh hoho don't worry, lets wrap up this trip to Echelon very soon enough...I hope and I am as free as to do anything I fucking want hehe...
Bolt- Something tells me that this 'trip' won't be over very soon....
Eric- In any case, let's just be a bit positive *looks at Lyria* and then make sure to enjoy our time in the Casino. It always is not a place where ordinary people gather.
Bolt- Hey, you still haven't mentioned about what led you to come here?
Eric- The Overseer.
Lyria- Hmm??
Eric- She's the last of the aliens ight and I wanted to ensure her safety, that way I will avoid doing anymore sins and live a normal, peaceful life eheh....
Bolt- You act really goofy for the way you look, something about your past? ...it's okay if you prefer not to talk about it tho... I wouldn't force you to make you say it as well.
Eric- Ahahahaha, how very considerate of you Bolt, and yes I prefer not to relinquish the bad memories.
So now the Overseer will welcome the Opulent Antharas into Echelon. So once again, Ladies and Gentleman, let's have some juice this time!
