Indica: …….
Hudson: What??
Cosma: Indica…..
Indica: It’s nothing, let’s go
Cosma: What about that dude, right over there, we just going to ignore that
Indica: I don’t know what you're talking about
Cosma: Oh ok
Hudson: What…..
Indica and Cosma begin to leave
Hudson: Stop, I really am Hudson
Indica: No, you are not
Hudson: I know why you don’t believe me but….
Indica: Hudson is DEAD, whoever you are, leave me alone
Cosma: I have no idea what is going on but I’m going to roll with it, Yeah Person (Points at Hudson), You don’t exist
Hudson: I think I exist
Cosma: Hold on, what was that saying, I think therefore I..
Indica: COSMA, we are done here, let’s leave
Cosma: ok….But what’s his name
Hudson: Hudson
Comsa: I think he definitely exists
Indica: C’mon let's leave
We pan back to the Guild
The Ark is sitting in the center of a small room, Xen, Oceane, Largo, Loren, Gladian and Auralie are pacing around, looking at it
Xen: So, what is this
Largo: I’m not sure..
Loren: It appears ancient
Gladian: Another secret the city was built on…
Xen: Oceane, can you date it?
Oceane: I have a dating rune, I just need to prepare it
Xen: Excellent, Auralie, you have any idea how it works
Auralie: I’m not sure, but it seems to be self sustaining
Largo: I think it’s a perpetual motion machine
Loren: But aren’t those only hypothetical
Oceane: Well we have proof of one right in front of us
Sien: Sure is something Gladian
Gladian: Yeah it is
Xen: Alrighty, you 4 get cracking, I’m going to speak with Gladian
Gladian and Xen step outside
Xen: I know you’ve been seeing him
Gladian: How do you know about Sien
Xen: I’m not talking about him, I’m talking about Iseri
Gladian: Oh..
Xen: I would like to see him
Gladian: I don’t think he wants to see you
Xen: Please Gladian, I need to apologize
Gladian: Why
Xen: I just need to, please
Gladian: Ok….
Atoll rounds the corner, and sees Gladian and Xen
Atoll: What’s going on…..
Gladian: We are taking the train to District 31
We pan back to Indica, Cosma and Hudson
Indica: Cosma, we’ve been looking everywhere for more of these guys for a while
Cosma: Yeah, they’re very well hidden
Enjoying this book? Seek out the original to ensure the author gets credit.
Hudson: I mean this city has an entire underground, doesn’t it
Cosma: Good Point Hudson
Indica: Glares at Hudson, he shrivels backwards and and then Cosma fires a look at Indica, she stops glaring.
Indica: Ok…. into the catacombs
Begin Catacombs 2
Midway through Catacombs 2
Hudson: This is kind of surreal, they’ve made camp all around this empty hollow
Cosma: This isn’t our first time down here, but it feels different
Indica: We aren’t welcome here, we should turn around soon
Hudson: Why is that
Indica: No one else is going to die, Aborition of my Guilt
Cosma: Weird way to address our new friend
Then solar energy appears behind them, and blasts them down the hall into more Unknown Organization Goons.
Goon: Time to get em
???: Stop
A strange figure in very dark red armor walks down the hall, he has robotic legs
???: These fools may be to use of us yet, bring them down the hall, into the great library
We pan back up, to District 31, banners are torn and some areas of the place are on fire, as some more armored goons run free
Xen: This place must be in chaos, we have to get to Iseri right away
Atoll: And help people along the way
Gladian: Well I’m more motivated to find Iseri because he is a personal friend
Begin District 31
⅓ Through
Atoll: Where is this guy we are looking for?
Xen: I just hope he is ok
Atoll: Is that a place?
Gladian: We have no time for idle humor, our friend could actually be in danger
Atoll: Is that where we are going?
Gladian: Nevermind
When you get to Iseri’s shop, you see it still stands but some of the foundation is wrecked and that he is vacant
Xen: Oh no……
Gladian: We are too late
Atoll: So, your friend is gone now….
Iseri comes out of another building and sees the 3 Guild members over looking his shop thinking he is dead
He inches closer
Iseri: Hello?
Xen: Oh, (He awkwardly shuffles)
Iseri recognizes his voice
Iseri: Why have you sought me out
Xen: I want to say I’m sorry
Atoll: Sorry for what?
Iseri looks at Atoll, his eyes narrow
Iseri: Really Xen, Another One
Xen: …...
Gladian: Actually he is with me sir
His brow narrows further
Iseri: With You?
Atoll: Is there something wrong sir?
Iseri (Holding In his Anger): No, not at all, anyway I was on my way to help a small family, I would like it if you would come with
Xen: I would like that very much
Iseri joins the party
Continue District 31
Get to a broken down building that is collapsing
Iseri: Someone is already inside the building, they’re keeping them safe, Defend me while I get them and the family out
Xen: Got it Old Friend
Enter into 10 Minute wave battle
End battle
Iseri: (Emerges from rubble)
Atoll: Are they safe?
Iseri: They are
Sien: You did a fine job hero
Gladian: I did didn’t I?
Iseri: Uh, Yes
???: Who are these interlopers
The Stranger with a spear arm aims his spear at the Guild Members
???: I do not trust Corpsman
Iseri: It’s ok Xerxes, these are friends of mine
Xerxes: Bah
Xen: Thanks for letting us come along Iseri, it was just like old times
Iseri: I should thank you for coming, and Xen
Xen: …
Iseri: We need to talk soon
Xen, Atoll and Gladian leave
Xerxes: The Guilders were your friends?
Iseri: Yes, I used to be one of them, that was after your incident
Xerxes: I still won’t trust them
Pan back to Indica, Hudson and Cosma, they are tied up in the Great Library, men in armor surround the Idol of Light, Cosma opens her eyes, she sees Atlantic tied up in the chains they are trapped in. She also sees a circle of villains, Wentus, The Mysterious Figure with Robot Legs, A Solar Lady and The Killer of the Mayor, Henry Gavel.
Indica and Hudson to wake to see the figures about to discuss, all 4 of the captives pretend to be asleep
Henry Gavel: Is all in place for Future Forward?
The man with robot legs steps forward
The Bled: We have 3 out of 8 generators, if you charge the rune it should activate the gateway
The Solar Figure steps out in front
Solar Scion: One of the generators ended up in the custody of The Century Corps, I know the layout of their building we can send an extraction squad.
Henry Gavel: No Need
Indica creates an Ivory Tusk and begins hacking off the chains, while Hudson begins to burn through them. She can feel the warmth from Hudson’s fire
Solar Scion: Alrighty
Wentus: I will prepare another convoy for the delivery of another generator.
Henry Gavel: See to it
Indica breaks through and Cosma uses her crest to create a temporary membrane around Indica and she runs and throws Cosma her staff, alerting The Guards
Henry Gavel: SEIZE THEM
The Bled: Hey you're doing great with your menacing threats
Cosma uses vanish beam on the group and they escape out the back door of the Great Library
Atlantic: I know this may not be appropriate, but, thanks for getting Kidnaped?
Cosma: You need to stop getting Kidnaped.
Atlantic: They jumped me when I was alone, what could i do to fight back
Indica: We’ll come back to self defense later
She turns to Hudson
Indica: Is it really you….
Hudson: Yeah…
Indica: How did you live, you bled to death
Hudson: I can explain later
Atlantic: Yeah Please, CAN WE GET OUT SO WE AREN'T RECAPTURED
Cosma: Can do
Start Catacombs 4
End Catacombs 4
Cosma: This is the most productive escape I have ever been a part of
Atlantic: I guess you can say that
Begin Catacombs 5
End Catacombs 5
Indica, Hudson, Atlantic and Necra climb out of the Catacombs
Indica: I can’t believe you are alive, it feels so surreal, like a dream
Hudson: It feels weird too
Cosma: Is this awkward, cuz we can go if you want to
Atlantic: Yeah, let’s go home
Cosma and Atlantic leave
Hudson: So, for how i survived that incident as kids
Indica: yeah How
Hudson: Well, you accidentally activated the resurrection orb, and that brought me back to life with the Monarch Butterfly crest.
Indica: And how did I do that?
Hudson: By Crying on my dead body
Indica: So I brought you back with the power of love, so to speak
Hudson: Pretty much, but I saw you run away, so I remembered what you said, and I’ve been looking for you everywhere to see you again, so we could be together
Indica: I, wanted to be with you….but now I have a family too, But If you joined it…
Hudson: I would love too.
Indica and Hudson hold hands as they head back to the Guild.
Meanwhile we pan back to the Guild in the room with the generator, Auralie, Oceane, Loren and Largo rush back in after hearing a beeping noise go off
Oceane: The Rune is done
Auralie: What does it say
Oceane (Reading): This Generator appears to be Thousands of years old, it came from a remote island in the pacific Ocean according to this rune.
Loren: How did Wentus and His goons get his hands on this then
Largo: I don’t know, we need to do more research
Oceane: I’ll see if we can get an expedition cleared via teleportation rune
Largo: Hey Hold on, aren’t those incredibly dangerous
Auralie: It may be our only option
As they leave, we pan back to reveal they were being watched by The Bled
The Bled: Solar Scion, change of plans, prepare a Strike team
