(While Sai's group has found some of Cat's and Kav's friends, Aino, Kav herself, and Ring do the same. The 3 are on the other side of where Sai's group is; walking along through the thronging streetscapes in search of more allies whom are familiar with Cat and Kav.)

Ainotias: *sigh* Every being around looks of the same.

Ring: That's debatable, though that's quite of an assumption from someone who's only been in the modern era for like a day or 2.

Kavita: Yeah, Ainotias definitely hasn't seen the rest of Saitranovia. You know of the other 3 sub-stricts?

Ainotias: Yes. Paladuras, Venturos, and Dyphinix. Brother and our parents have saw Venturos.

Kavita: How did it look? I bet it looked boring then as it does now. Me? I'm just not a fan of the rural theme, especially the overly rural look of Venturos. I get Venturos excels in cultivation and agriculture in comparison to the other 3, but it's not really my taste. Cathera sort of likes the rural theme more, as she lived in the outskirts of the districts. But anyways, this city is quite huge, just follow my lead, it'll be easy getting around some places.

Ainotias: Well, you are correct, I haven't seen the rest of modern-day Saitranovia, nor today's Sakrisen alone.

Kavita: There's been some spots I wanted to see, but they're blocked off by the government. Surprised, considering we haven't had a ruler at the throne for 6 years.

Ainotias: In my time, the "rulers" were mooo--"monarchs".

Kavita: That's the word, and your ruler was Terranova.

Ainotias: *disappointed tone* Yes.

*As the 3 continue walking, they approach the plaza. Ring spots 2 of what appears to be familiar faces of Kav's.*

Ring: Hey Kavita, aren't those 2?

Kavita: Oh it is them.

*The 3 approach these 2 familiar faces, both female.*

Kavita: Kasaro, Himeki.

*Kasaro is an obliterator. She has the red undertone in her skin that obliterators have, and medium black hair covering her ears, also in a small ponytail. Her build is quite burly, and she isn't that tall, wearing an untucked tank top that is black at the chest area, and red at the stomach area, also having tiny, gray armor platings. Bottoms consist of straight, black pants, and medium, black and red boots. The most notable feature however, is her black and red gauntlets on her forearms, with black gloves under them.*

*Himeki is the taller friend. She is Japanese-Terranovian, bearing a more "modest" and casual appearance that seems rather outdated for Terranovian standards. Yellow eyes and very light skin with a noticeable, light blue undertone, long, silky, and straight lavender hair going down to her lower back, also in a mini ponytail. Her outfit consists of an untucked, gray, long-sleeved shirt that is a dark pink at the forearm area, light blue, slim jeans, and short, light purple boots.*

Kasaro: *clearly being the expressive one, greeting energetically* What's up, Kav?!

Himeki: *soft, soothing voice* Hello, Kavita.

Kavita: What's brings y'all to the plaza?

Kasaro: Life. In actuality, just to hang out.

Himeki: Junos is bringing us snacks from that Otopican vendor Kronos.

Ainotias: I have met that Kronos too when me and my twin brother were...tele--ported here.

Kasaro: "Teleported" here? Like teleportation circles? Wait, I don't seem to understand the context.

Ainotias: Me and my twin brother are not from this time, we are from a thousand years ago. Terranova attacked us, slain our parents, and sent us to this timeline. When we are done with him, I do not want to return...to that...horror he left.

*Kasaro and Himeki are shocked upon hearing Aino's brief backstory, as the 2 are both fixated on her.*

Kasaro: Wow. Ummm, Kav, this is the one of the twins you told us about, right? Didn't think I'd believe it, but...maybe this might help...a little. *walking over to Aino, hugging her for a few seconds, Aino lightly flinching*

Himeki: I could understand the pain you have to go through. I'll send your twin condolences if we come across him.

Kasaro: Terranova is one miserable, sad little excuse of a divine, putting a bad name on us obliterators with his tyranny.

Ainotias: What is odd is that my parents were erasers.

Himeki: That is weird. Maybe a DNA warp, or one of your parents had obliterator blood. Your name is Aino...

Ainotias: Ainotias. My twin brother is Saitonia.

Kasaro: We're so giving Terranova hell.

*This "Junos" arrives to the group. Like Himeki, he is also Japanese-Terranovian. He has short white hair covering his forehead. Golden eyes, and a noticeable scar over his left eye. Wearing a medium, zipped- up, white jacket with a faded, gray dragon symbol on the back, and a golden right forearm pad. Light gray pants, and medium white boots. He's carrying what appears to be glowing blue ice cream with a pinkish-red frosting inside, handing these snacks to Kasaro and Himeki.*

Junos: *deep, but noble and mature voice* Your snacks are here, ladies.

Kasaro: You're the best, Junos.

Junos: *turning his attention to Aino* You must be the other twin that Kavita told us about.

Ainotias: Yes. I am Ainotias.

Junos: And that divine Terranova has killed your parents. You're surely plotting for revenge against that tyrant.

Ring: *explains to Aino* Revenge is getting back at someone for a wrongdoing done to you or someone you like or love.

Kavita: Revenge, vengeance, avenge, retribution. All kinda the same thing.

Junos: Well sort of, Kavita. Revenge is more on a personal level, and includes darker intent. Vengeance is the actual form rather than just the act of revenge. Retribution is more limited, getting back at someone on an equal level, with a form of justice involved. And avenging is getting back on someone else's behalf rather than yours. So, Ainotias, you're surely plotting to get back at that tyrant?

Ainotias: *with confidence* In...deed.

(From Terranova's lair, an orb displays the 6, still at the plaza, seemingly about to depart.)

Eriela: How'd you know they'd be at the plaza? Or at least one of them.

Shizaki: It took a while, but it wasn't my last guest. The plaza is an incredibly popular location in Sakrisen. With a large populace, comes a large body count. I've tried drones for our attack, though I don't personally prefer it. Just waiting for them to make another move, and I'm setting them off.

Serox: Looks like they're leaving.

Vexas: Yeah, I'd set the drones off now.

If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.

Shizaki: One second....

*They watch the 6 walk off, already in process of leaving the plaza. Shizaki snaps her left fingers to activate the drones.*

___________________

(Back at the plaza, an echoey, buzzing sound is heard, alerting the group.)

Junos: Be vigilant. I don't like what I'm hearing.

*Out of nowhere, 6 red and black drones with 4 legs and mechanical wings emerge, shooting at the group.*

Ainotias: We are being attacked!

*As the drones fly in, firing red energy beams, Aino quickly takes 1 down with swift, red energy blasts. Kasaro hits another drone with an energy blast from her gauntlet, falling right by her and she finishes it off by delivering 4 punches, causing the drone's parts to break.*

*Himeki pulls out a black, rectangular pole, pushing a button that opens up a large, 6-bladed, light purple and yellow fan. Holding the fan by using the grip inside the pole, she swings right as a drone flies in on her, easily splitting the drone in half. Another drone starts firing at her, but she blocks the fire with her fan, then spins around while swinging her fan, firing a single blade that pierces right through the drone. For good measure, Himeki swings the fan again, sending the drone flying as it explodes into pieces.*

*Ring rolls to evade a drone flying right at him. The drone then redirects itself to Ring, flying to him again, but Ring readies his revolver and fires 5 shots, which is about enough to destroy the drone.*

Kavita: Wow, was that all? *looks to see 1 more drone, targeting Ring* Ring, behind you!

*The final drone flies at Ring while firing at him, but instantly, Junos slices the drone in half with his shining, golden sword.*

Junos: Got it.

Kavita: I don't know who's targeting us, but let's get the hell out of here before any more drones or anything worse comes for us! Pier 906z perhaps!

*As the 6 flee the plaza, a black cat exits their hiding spot and watches them until they can't be seen. This cat then shapeshifts into a human female with pale skin, violet eyes, and long, straight black hair. Wearing a stealthy, black and dark blue bodysuit with light, medieval armor, and a long, black fur cloak.*

???: *male voice coming from behind the human woman* Ems, that's them right?

*Ems turns around, seeing a tall man with short, sandy blonde hair, green eyes, and thick, yellow and blue futuristic armor, turning out to be a comrade of Ems'.*

Ems: Yep, Liam. Went against our will and accepted the offer of taking out these twins. Can't even back out now cause they're servants of a god. Guess we gotta pretend to hate erasers as well. *sarcastic laugh*

Liam: Well if we fail, we die at the hands of them twins and/or their allies, or die at the hands of Terranova, I'd choose the first option.

Ems: Let's get back to the others; make note of our little discovery.

___________________

(Later on, Group 2, Aino's and Kav's group, makes it to Pier 906z first. This pier has a light, glossy gray boardwalk with glowing, purple lines. The pier also contains a massive funfair and a crystal-clear blue ocean, not to mention that it's not only one of the most popular piers, but attractions in Saitranovia as a whole.)

Kavita: Well, here we are, crew; Pier 906z.

Kasaro: What's our plan? Why flee here?

Kavita: Just...anywhere to get away from whoever is pursuing us. *looks at Aino* Ainotias, think those drones had to do with hunting you and your brother?

Ainotias: It is possible. I do not see why it would not have to do with Terranova.

Himeki: Unless these pursuers know of our exact location at all time, at every part and sector, we need to constantly be alert.

Ring: It's an enormous mainland. They'll have to search endlessly.

*From a distance, Sai's group can see Aino's group, as Sai calls out to Aino: "Sister!"*

Ainotias: *hearing Sai's call* Brother.

*The 2 groups meet up with their increased number of allies at their side.*

Saitonia: You appear panicked. What occurred, sister?

Ainotias: We were attacked by these...*to Kav* what is the word?

Kavita: Drones.

Ainotias: -drones, but we have destroyed them. It's an odd feeling, but I can foresee more foes our way.

Pyrus: Them drones must've been Terranova's.

Cathera: *sudden reply* Don't assume it's Vexas. From your past description of her, she doesn't seem like she'd specialize in drone usage.

Pyrus: I wasn't going to, hehe, you brought it up.

Ring: You think he has a Watcher as his underling? Them orbs could be how we can be tracked so easily.

Cathera: *activates her sensing as her eyes glow green* I sensed a watcher orb around, it must've vanished. They can unfortunately abuse the ability and summon orbs in multiple locations, even at once, but overuse of the orbs can come at fatal costs. *eyes return to normal*

Junos: It's not that easy to physically tell if it's a watcher, but they usually wear an eyepiece and have heterochromia. It's a birth defect if a watcher is born with eyes of the same color. They also have a faded aura surrounding their body, even without the usage of energy.

Ainotias: I can understand how Cathera is not a watcher.

Kavita: Exactly. Her eyes are the same color, no aura around her, and like all pure sensitors, have hyper realistic facial features.

Junos: I still remember the demographic of Saitranovia, as of January 2016, and as usual, watchers are the rarest, at 0.8 percent within the population of 590 million in Saitranovia, which would be around 40 million, it's still a lot. Erazeskas and Oburitori, erasers and obliterators, are both 20 percent. Sensitors and Anihilaos, or annihilators, both 15 percent and the other 29.2 percent are "standard" and mixed Terranovian.

Pyrus: You got a lot of brainpower memorizing all that, Junos.

*Junos taps his head with a single finger, a bit of a bragging gesture. Then out of nowhere, Sakiro and Tenerus arrive.*

Tenerus: *shocked* My Arckyve...holy crap.

Kavita: You 2 were attacked by the same drones as well?!

Sakiro: Yes. We lost the others when this fleet of drones just shot at us. I destroyed them while this fool just sat back.

Tenerus: I was...still out of bullets.

Sakiro: That...doesn't give you an excuse to not fight.

Ainotias: *leaning up on Sai and whispering to him* I say, that man, who is he?

Saitonia: *replies with a whisper* I believe it is "Tenerus".

Ainotias: That "Tenerus", is...what is that word? Oh, "coward".

*Sai nods in agreement.*

_________________

(Back at Terranova's lair, the 5 are still grouped together, watching the orb. Shizaki, upon the overuse of her orbs, painfully groans, writhing as she holds into her nose and head.)

Eriela: Shizaki!

*Shizaki lifts her head up, revealing blood trickling from her nose and left eye. "I ...have to close..the orbs." She says as she clenches her left fist, causing all the orbs she summoned throughout parts of Sakrisen to vanish.*

Serox: Damn. Seemed like a good plan, but even good planning still leads to a loss. Shizaki, I recommend you rest. Drastic consumption of energy is way more fatal for watchers. The rest of you, we'll see what mission Terranova has for us when he gets back.

_________________

(A beautiful night falls upon Saitranovia; a purple sky with a dark blue aurora borealis. At the group safehouse, some allies are relaxing inside while the twins, Cat, and Kav are outside on the balcony.)

Kavita: *sitting in a lounge chair* It's been a pretty long day today.

Cathera: *laying on a mattress* Yep. Looking up at the night sky is...very spirit-cleansing.

Saitonia: It has been a thousand years since we laid eyes upon a lovely sky like this.

Kavita: There a superstition with auroras, specifically blue and red. Blue means being rewarding with something good while red means a horrible event is imminent, hence that phenomenon "The Infernal".

Ainotias: Very...scary.

Kavita: *eyes gazed at Cat* Cat, ever notice you look cute?

Cathera: *deep giggle, then replies quite dismissively* Sure.

Kavita: *getting up from the lounge chair and goes to sit next to Cat on the mattress* Wow, that laugh too. Like damn, I'm squealing on the inside. Tch, it can end wars.

Cathera: *lightly blushes green*

Kavita: Heh. You're cute blushing as well. Anyways, how's that scar on your stomach?

Cathera: *lightly feeling her right abdomen* I mean, no lingering effects. Have to say, you really saved me. That watcher nearly had us.

Kavita: *sighs as she plays with Cat's hair* Yep. Nearly. I love our adventures; super thrilling, super risky, yet rewarding.

Cathera: Wouldn't want to get into too many risky predicaments "for the thrill", Kav.

Ainotias: *whispering to Sai* Very...romantic of them.

Saitonia: *getting up from another lounge chair, then goes to speak to Cat and Kav* A "lovely" moment between you 2. Well, we will depart back to our new home. Farepartings.

*Aino follows Sai to the exit, giving Cat and Kav a smirk the second before the twins head back inside.*
