Karol: "That's wright. Dancers kan use both light and dark."
Trevour: "Amazing." *He spoke to himself.*
Rachael: "So, it's Radiatons then?"
Dawn: *She looked back up, nodding her head.* "Yes."
Nathan: "So, you think the person is a Scoldrant User?" *He looked at Dawn with a serious face.*
Dawn: *She pushed her glasses up with two fingers.* "No."
Rachael: "Could you please continue?"
Dawn: *She looked back to the screen behind her.* "There's been a recent energy spike around Concern's Gate."
Lezard: "Concern's Gate?"
Champion: "Oh my."
Luna: "Is someone concerned? I don't get it, aye."
Destiny: "Yeup."
Karol: (That also sounds famimwliar.)
Nathan: "Concern's Gate? I know where that is."
Trevour: "Isn't that back on the other continent, sir?"
Luna: "Like, where we just got back from?"
Trevour: "Indeed, madam."
Luna: "Gah-"
Dawn: "Research understands this isn't your duty alone, but, we don't have many Scoldrant Users to ask."
Nathan: "...-"
Dawn: "With the information you have supplied regarding the Guardians, you have essentially set everything in stone."
Nathan: "..." *He silently nodded his head in acknowledgement.*
Rachael: "You got your confirmation, now what?"
Dawn: "With Concern's Gate.. Grey will be sending his imperial soldiers to find out if the energy spikes are related to this man-made-"
Luna: "Are they?"
Dawn: *She paused.* "There's an eighty-two percent chance-"
Nathan: "I thought it was an illness, I never would've thought it was man-made-." *He paused and tightened his fists.*
Rachael: "Nath?"
Nathan: "Sorry, Karol, everyone-.. But I'm going to Concern's Gate."
Karol: "B-Bhut, the guild-?"
Nathan: "Remember my reasoning for staying? To use the resources to help me find more information with the yellow eyes." *He looked up, glancing at each guild member.* "Well, here it is."
Rachael: "So.. Does this mean we won't see you for a little while?"
Luna: "..." *She silently folded her arms.*
Destiny: (You suddenly got upset, Luna? Is everything okay? Yeup.)
Luna: (Yea, wateva.)
Destiny: "Yeup?" *She meowed in a confused-like manner.*
Karol: "N-Nafan?" *He sounded upset, as if he didn't like the idea of separating.*
Nathan: "This... Where can I get another teleportation glyph?"
Dawn: *She shook her head.* "Due to Battling Oxident, his majesty has exhausted all teleportation glyphs for now."
Luna: "Then make another?"
Champion: "Teleportation glyphs are one of the hardest glyphs to form."
Trevour: "I wouldn't know personally, madam-" *He faced Luna, causing his armour to rattle.* "I form my glyphs by concentrating the Astragons."
Luna: "So?"
Nathan: (She's so straightforward.) *He frowned to himself before discreetly smiling.*
Trevour: "What I'm trying to say, madam, my glyphs take a while to perform, create correctly."
Luna: "But we ain't talkin' about your glyphs."
Trevour: "My glyphs are rather ordinary, while teleportation glyphs are layers of patterns."
Luna: "I don't get wat you're sayin' or how glyphs work with Astragongs, aye."
Champion: "The best way I've heard someone explain glyphs, is that, you draw the glyph with your Astragons."
Rachael: "That's a wicked way of describing it."
Luna: "Aha, yea."
Destiny: "Yeup!"
Champion: "Needless to say, it's not easy to create another teleportation glyph on request."
Luna: "Someone who knows how to dumb it down."
Trevour: "My apologies, madam-"
Nathan: "No glyphs? Fine." *He turned around and started to walk out.*
Rachael: "W-Where are you going?" *She sounded surprised.*
Karol: "Nafan?!" *He squealed in frustration.*
Dawn: "Sail? That will take you a day, if not two."
Nathan: "Two days compared to three years of waiting? I'll take that chance." *He suddenly walked out, purposely not listening to Karol's cries.*
Luna: "Oi? Did Natalie just quit the guild?"
Trevour: "W-What's wrong, sir?" *He bent down, glancing at Karol.*
Lezard: "Little meister?"
Karol: "The guild!" *He stamped his foot in anger.*
Champion: "Oh my, he's very passionate about this-"
Rachael: *She sighed with a smile.* "A silly way to handle things, but let's go."
Trevour: "Go? Go where, boss?"
Rachael: "With Nath to Concern's Gate."
Karol: *He stopped sniffling and focused his attention on to Rachael with a growing smile.* "Nee hee."
Lezard: (The other continent.. I'd feel more comfortable knowing I'm on the same continent as father monster-)
Luna: "Where is this Concern's Gate?"
Dawn: "It's near Surpreon."
Rachael: "Ah.. Back at Surpreon." *She sounded awkward, as if she knew Luna would have a problem.*
Luna: *Her eye twitched.* "So, we got rushed to come here and now we're sailing back, to a place that was right near where we were before?!"
Trevour: "Well then-" *He stood back up, causing his armour to rattle.* "Let's make haste."
Luna: "Let's make haste, pssht, you're such a douche, Rusty." *She grunted and started to walk out.*
Rachael: *She smiled and formed a fist, watching Luna walk out the room.* "Champion, what are your plans now?"
Champion: "Hmm.." *She hummed and took the time to think.* (Corrupted Radiatons, it can't be possible-) "I guess you're still stuck with me."
Trevour: "Heh heh."
Lezard: *He looked at Dawn.* "Is there anything else, cupcake?"
Dawn: "Negative. Go out and find what is happening in there! Come back and tell research what you've learnt!"
Lezard: "Okies! Let's go, championmotto!" *He giggled and grabbed the champion around the arm.*
Champion: "Motto?"
Lezard: "Bwarharh-" *He giggled and started to skip out of the facility.*
Trevour: *He looked at Rachael and Karol.* "Off to help Nathan find what's been happening with Concern's Gate?"
Rachael: "Sounds like a plan."
Karol: (Nafan.. He made a pwomise!) *He thought to himself with a childish frown.*
----------
*Nathan stepped outside and walked across the castle's lawn, ignoring the sounds of the flapping flags.*
Nathan: "To get a ship, I need to head up and ask one of the guilds-"
Luna: "Oi." *She grunted in an annoyed-like manner, stepping outside the castle.*
Nathan: *He smiled to the voice and suddenly looked serious, slowly turning around to face Luna.* "What do you want?"
Luna: "Pretty sure we're like some guild or something, aye? Don't that mean we stick by each other, or some lame shit like that?"
Nathan: "Huh?" *He looked surprised.*
Luna: "Aha, your face looks so retarded. We're meant to work together."
Destiny: "Yeup." *She floated around Luna, meowing in agreement.*
Nathan: "The guild means a lot to me, but this is my life's mission-"
Luna: "If you care about the guild so much, why you walkin' away?"
Nathan: "I-..." *He paused, as if he didn't know how to respond to her question.*
*Lezard and the champion walked out of the castle, noticing Luna and Nathan.*
Lezard: "Ah, there you silly sausages are." *He giggled while shaking his bottom to each side.*
Champion: "Are you okay?" *She looked at Lezard's bottom in confusion.* "Is there something in your pants?"
Lezard: "Ooo, champion, ask those questions on our next date!"
&
nbsp; Nathan: "And what do you two want?" *He looked at the champion and Lezard in curiosity.*
Lezard: "We're coming with you too."
Champion: "I'm curious to know what this abnormal energy signature is about." *She spoke with a smile.*
Nathan: "Err.."
Lezard: "Don't worry, my naughty Nathan, the others will be coming soon."
Nathan: *He sighed in a defeated-like manner.* "Let's go."
Lezard: "Yay."
Champion: "In order to sail, it will cost a lot. It's best to head to the guild's tavern."
Nathan: "Yeah, that's where I'm headed."
Luna: "Hurry it up then." *She waved to the side, implying for Nathan to walk.*
Nathan: "Don't slow me down." *He turned back around and started to walk down the road-like path with a smile.*
----------
*Rachael, Trevour and Karol stood in a line inside the research facility, facing Dawn in appreciation.*
Trevour: "Thank you very much, madam."
Rachael: "Yeah. Your information has been very helpful."
Karol: "Yheah!"
Dawn: *She nodded her head in acknowledgement.* "Get going already. Research waits for no one!"
Trevour: "Heh heh-"
Dawn: "For research!" *She suddenly fist-pumped the air, causing the researchers to quickly do the same.*
Rachael: "Where to look though?" *She glanced at Trevour and Karol.*
Trevour: "I have no idea, boss."
Dawn: "Tsst-" *She grunted in annoyance at Rachael's lack of knowledge and shuffled back to her desk, glancing at the guild.* "Go to the port, you'll find many ships there."
Rachael: "A port? As in outside? I'm a little confused because there're no ports around here."
Karol: "Whats a poart?"
Trevour: "A port is like a harbour, where many ships are stationed, even people do business along the port-" *He looked at Dawn in confusion.* "But I concur with the boss. I've been here for a few years and never heard about a port."
Dawn: "That's rather laughable. Has your guild always relied on Grey's teleportation glyphs to get to the other continent?"
Rachael: "We don't go over there often-"
Dawn: "Tsst-" *She sat down and held her head, as if she was getting more annoyed at their questions.* "On the third level, find the workshop with the blue flags, see if there's a ship ready to set sail."
Rachael: "Down below? Wicked." *She smiled and readied to leave.*
Dawn: "Now, out!" *She shouted and focused her attention to a stack of paperwork.*
----------
*Nathan, Luna, Lezard and the champion walked into the tavern, listening to the many different conversations in the background.*
Champion: "Oh my-" *She noticed the sticky floors and very lively environment.*
Lezard: *He placed his hand on the champion's shoulder with a smile.* "I thought this place was icky too, but you get used to it-"
Luna: "Oi, Keeper." *She grunted to the woman behind the counter, catching her attention.*
Keeper: "Well, if it ain't The Rostical Guild." *She spoke with a smile, while cleaning several large cups.* "Come back for another guild request?"
Nathan: "No. We're here to enquire about setting sail to the other continent."
Keeper: "Ah, bad luck-" *She pulled a sour face to emphasise the situation.* "Most of the ships are still at the other continent."
Champion: "Probably due to Battling Oxident."
Keeper: "That's right." *She spat in the cup, allowing her to clean it even better.*
Champion: "Oh my, how unhygienic."
Keeper: "Unhygienic?" *She looked confused and suddenly chuckled in realisation.* "My saliva works as a disinfectant."
Champion: "Your saliva is a disinfectant?"
Luna: "Aha, trippy I know." *She chuckled, as if she had a similar reaction.*
Lezard: "Ooo, Keeper! Show us your marvellous glyph."
Keeper: *She smiled and stuck out her tongue, revealing a purple glyph underneath her tongue.* "This glyph is filled with Neurons, it boosts the natural healing properties of saliva and converts it into killing bacteria."
Champion: "Astounding. Using such a simple glyph over something so complex."
Luna: "All lazy people like me would want them!"
Lezard: "Ooo! Imagine a glyph that wipes your bottom too!"
Nathan: "Lezard, acting weird again." *He mumbled with his deep voice.*
Destiny: (What are we going to do?)
Luna: *She glanced at Destiny and nodded her head.* "So, wat's the deal with the ship?"
Destiny: "Yeup." *She meowed in agreement and floated around Luna, catching Keeper's attention.*
Keeper: "Prhrhrh." *She chuckled while shaking her head.* "Your Soul Link increased, has it?"
Destiny: "Yeup, yeup." *She meowed, as if she was responding to Keeper's question.*
Keeper: *She smiled and looked back to Luna.* "You could always try and find The Seaside Bandits."
Nathan: "The Seaside Bandits?" *The name triggered a flashback.*
--
*Pirate-like bandits dressed in blue and black suddenly ran out from the shadows, pointing old fashioned guns at Rachael and Nathan.*
Nathan: *He noticed the guns, causing him to raise his sword.* "Let us pass."
Grunt A: "No, argh." *He grunted like a pirate and aimed for Nathan's head.*
Rachael: "Who are you?"
Grunt A: "We're The Seaside Bandits."
Nathan: "What do you want from us?"
Grunt B: "It's easy. Give us your valuables and we'll let you pass through to the next Reality Marble."
--
Nathan: (Those scumbags?)
Lezard: "Yuckies! I hear icky things about that guild." *He pulled a sour face while shaking his bottom to each side.*
Luna: "Icky?"
Champion: "Yuckies?"
Keeper: "They may be reckless at times, but they're one of the top guilds around here. They bring business to the city."
Luna: "Fairo." *She spoke as if she didn't care.*
Destiny: "Yeup."
Nathan: "Where are they now?"
Keeper: "Last I checked, they're in The Entarlia Dome."
Luna: "Ah, wat's that again?"
Champion: "It's a specialised dome that allows you to fight copies of the warriors the system has registered."
Lezard: "That's where Razzypoo and Trevmeister train together."
Luna: "Kool-"
Nathan: "Thank you, Keeper." *He turned around and started to walk towards the swinging doors.*
Luna: "Yea, thanks."
Destiny: "Yeup."
Lezard: "Thankies, delicious lady."
Champion: "Delicious?"
Keeper: "Prhrh." *She chuckled to herself and watched the guild leave, while gathering saliva in her mouth.* "Always enjoyable to talk to."
----------
*Rachael, Karol and Trevour stepped outside the castle, watching the solid doors ripple around them.*
Rachael: "Something has been on my mind."
Trevour: "Ask away, boss?" *He started to walk down the road-like path, watching the busy citizens gather around each market.*
Rachael: "During Battling Oxident, those twin sisters."
Karol: "Waichael?"
Rachael: "They used a Hi-Ougi and fainted?" *She spoke in confusion.*
Trevour: "Yes? It's the power of two people's Ougis combined."
Rachael: "So, can anyone use a Hi-Ougi?"
Trevour: "I'm not too sure. I know my siblings can."
Rachael: "From what I've seen, very powerful people can use Ougis.. I just think we should learn how to use a Hi-Ougi."
Trevour: "That's a spectacular idea, boss, but it's a little more temperamental than that. Some captains tried to Hi-Ougi."
Karol: "...-"
Rachael: "What was it like?"
Trevour: "They couldn't do it." *He shrugged his shoulders in confusion, causing his armour to rattle.*
Rachael: "So.. Those twins were able to do something not even captains could do?"
Trevour: "Sounds like it, boss."
Karol: "You need to be emotionully acatched."
Trevour: "You know the requirements, little meister?"
Rachael: "If you need to be emotionally attached, then that would explain why the captains couldn't do it."
Trevour: "Yeah, that sounds about right." *He spoke in realisation.*
Karol: "High Ougis require a perfect mixta of Neuwrons."
Trevour: "I-..." *He shut his dropping jaw.* "I'm surprised you know a lot about this, little meister."
Karol: "Nee hee. My daddy and arnty have the bloodline to high Ougi without any wequirments."
Rachael: "Could you tell me more about this perfect mixture of Neurons?"
Karol: "Uh ha." *He nodded his head like a child and skipped down the stairs.* "Daddy always said it's like twying to fill a container with both your Newrons."
Trevour: "Interesting, little meister." *He adjusted his armour, causing it to shimmer in the sun's light.* "What would happen if they didn't mix properly?"
Karol: "Uhm-" *He skipped in a circle and faced Rachael and Trevour, watching them walk towards him.* "It won't work. And, if yooh don't have enouf Newrons to fill the container, you'll..."
Rachael: "Faint?"
Karol: "Hm." *He nodded his head.* (Twinity, Infinity-)
Trevour: "Very interesting hearing this about Hi-Ougis.. I've personally always wanted to know why the captains didn't pair up and unleash their frightening power."
Rachael: (A mixture of powers...) "Karol, would you know what happens to people using Hi-Ougi of different elements?"
Trevour: *He looked around the water fountain and observed the shops on the lower level of the city.* (Ah, there's the blue flag-) *He smiled in thought and started to hobble towards it, causing Rachael and Karol to follow.*
Karol: "I've seen a mixture of water and light... It was ahmayzing. Water-like light, shewting fwrough the air."
Rachael: "Wicked." *She smiled to herself and noticed Trevour stopping in front of a wooden cabin with anchors on each side of the door.* "Is this it?"
Trevour: "Indeed, boss." *He noticed the glyph on the flag.* "The swirls on that glyph-"
Rachael and Trevour: "Water-"
Karol: "Wow!" *His voice came from inside the cabin, causing Rachael and Trevour to quickly step inside.*
----------
*Nathan, Luna, Lezard and the champion gathered around a small white door at the end of an alleyway.*
Champion: "Why would The Seaside Bandits be in a place like this?"
