"Now don't freak out but I might have made a deal with them. They leave me alone and I do some recon for them. They had a little boy come after me with a knife. I did not hesitate to blow him away, little did I know they recorded the whole thing and threatened to release it. I felt them brand me before I came here, I thought it'd be there just to make sure I didn't try anything but instead they took over and made me do... all of this."Light said:
Julie's cat ears twitch at this, she was disturbed by the given information. "Alright... I understand the circumstances. It was my fault too... for the things I said."Afrobrony said:
Bruce was taken aback by what Julie said, again, but it was even more surprising due to the fact that she seemed to be apologizing or at least owing up to what she had done to him. "I guess we were all in the heat of the moment. I can't believe I let myself betray the guild like that, though. I should've known better... listen, I'll help you guys take down this new organization. I'm already involved anyway."Light said:
"Alright then. I need to check on my sister." Julie walks away with the kids to go check on Isabel. Leaving Krios with Bruce. "Hello."Afrobrony said:
Bruce thought about the cocoon and how it had used Isabel's mana to block his attack from before. That's really all it would take for anyone to figure out that there was no way that would've ended well for Isabel in her cocoon. Hell, it would've taken a lot if she wasn't in her cocoon state. He looked over and Krios "hello, again. Can you tell if there's anything happening with that cocoon? I figure there's no way in hell that there aren't any negative effects to Isabel from blocking my blast."Light said:
Krios scans the cocoon, uploading information onto the screens. "There is no oxygen ventilating inside. Her body is no longer being cleaned nor fed. The cocoon is out out the mana it was steadily conserving for a year. She'll develop bed sores, her body would no longer be taken care of, she'll suffocate, and starve soon. It's basically a coffin now." Krios goes over what he said, trying to think of happier wording. "I apologize, would you like happier words?"Afrobrony said:
"Course not, we need to know what we need to know." Bruce put his hand to his chin to think of some solution. It was his stupid decision and his blind anger that lead to this, he felt a duty to at least help Isabel. "Could the cocoon possibly use some other form of energy, hypothetically ki, to do all these tasks that it needs to keep her alive?"Light said:
"Possibly, the cocoon was running of mana. I suppose it could run off ki as well."Afrobrony said:
"All right... I don't think I'll be needing my own ki any time soon. So how can the cocoon gain access to my ki?"Light said:
"That's the problem. I can see the points in which mana flows through the cocoon into her but I don't see where it stems from. It's like an endless loop from her to the cocoon with no beginning." Krios scans the cocoon once more, only to see the same thing.Afrobrony said:
"Well it makes sense if the power is coming from her. As far as I can tell her body made that cocoon so she's always been the one fueling it. Makes sense when you think about just how much mana she was trying to contain. I'm thinking I'd have to be in the cocoon or find a way to connect with it from out here. What if I just..." he reached out to the cocoon and places his hand on it, trying to let his energy flow into it.Light said:
When Bruce let's his ki into the cocoon it starts up once more. Though it's not the usual energy it runs off of, the cocoon would manage.Afrobrony said:
Hekate looks up at the others. "Come on! It's sunrise already! We have to move to the city in the east, New York. I know somebody whom can help us with the situation, start walking!" The 10 year old goddess had said this for the third time. By now she was pushing people forward. The journey would take several miles. Hekate turns to Julie. "Can you carry us?"Drumonkey said:
Bruce pulled his hand away from the cocoon upon feeling much of his energy get sapped away into it. "Wow, that was much easier than expected. Android, I don't know your name, keep an eye on the energy levels, if she needs more than tell me and I'll give it more." He stepped up onto Julie's back and to Hekate. "So who exactly are you and who is this contact in New York that you want us to go to?"Light said:
"Hello Dru, funny enough, I don't know you, guy who is telling me who his twin is before introducing himself." Of course, Bruce probably just wasn't paying attention.Drumonkey said:
Reed hesitated. "I'll just meet you there I won't take long." He ran over to the nearest lake and dived in. He used it as a portal. He climbed out of the sewers and cleaned himself off. He then went to a tall building waiting for the dragon. Sarah climbed on smiling. "I've never ridden a dragon before. Oh and sorry about Reed he doesn't like heights."Light said:
Raven, Justin, and Emily get on top of their aunt. She was quit large in dragon form. Raven was unconcerned with the new people and went straight to reading a book. Emily lays down with her and enjoys the same book as well.Drumonkey said:
Krios nods his head as he gets on the dragon, keeping a tab open to check on Isabel.Afrobrony said:
A black dog with a polecat on its head run past Sarah, resting beside Hekate.Tazmodo said:
Justin shuffles the deck. "Pick a card! Any card! If I win, you owe me an item if value. If I lose I'll give you an item of value. Seem fair?"Drumonkey said:
"Listen, I'm a therapist, not a theologian or a historian or anything like that. I try to stay away from theology all together really but I guess that doesn't apply here. The point is, Greek culture isn't really my thing. Anyways, do you really believe that this person is alive? I'm not saying that he'd die of old age or anything, I'm just saying that if I was part of an organization with plans to destroy the world, or whatever these guys are doing, then I'd want to tie up any loose strings."Light said:
Fahy looked at Dru and Dru only shrugged in response then nodded his head and Fahy smiled "Sure but how do i win and how do you win?"Light said:
Bruce chuckled under his breath when he saw Justin getting ready to pull a trick on this guy.Drumonkey said:
"I still don't appreciate you calling me Hentai!" Hekate stomps her foot, knowing Julie won't even feel it. "Anyways, he knows how to handle himself. As long as he's gotten rid of every symbol, book, artifact, and cloak from them he owns. He should be fine.... hopefully. That's why we must hurry."Afrobrony said:
"I'm going to guess your card." Justin shuffles the deck and looks away, holding it out so Fahy could pick a card.Drumonkey said:
Dru glanced up from his book at Bruce not liking that chuckle but he didn't know the joke was going to be on Justin.Afrobrony said:
Fahy grabbed a card it was the 9 of spades and Fahy quickly made sure not to let Justin see it.Light said:
"Well then, I guess I'll take your word for it and hope that this will have managed to survive all these years. And I'm sorry for calling you Hentai, I mix up names a lot. Now it was Hekate right?"Light said:
