Alial castle The next day Aleind's Pov
"Where is she!" Aleind says pacing back and forth in the throne room. When a robot enters the room he has a humanoid face with his left side being metal and his left eye being round and red while his right eye is shaped like a humanoid eye with fake skin surrounding it. He has brown hair and a metal blue body,With his front having a red glowing core. His right hand is a blaster and left hand is humanoid. "Neol!"Aleind yells as they walk in
"I come with a letter from Reion!" Neol says in a robotic yet emotionful Voice.
Aleind Grabs The letter and begins to read it. "Dammit!" He says once he's finished as he throws the paper. "FUCKING BETRAYER!" He says slamming his foot on the ground. "Calm down sir she just didn't want to sacrifice her life for your cause. (and after all you've done i can't blame here) it really doesn't matter that much." Neol says.
"But those rebels are still out there and a threat plus what Now there is THREE! THREE DISSENTERS AND SHE DOESNT FIGHT FOR THE GODESS!" Aleind shouts erratically "sir calm down me and your aunt will deal with this." Neol says "THEN DEAL WITH IT!" Aleind shouts as Neol leaves the room
Zephyr's apartment
Zephyr got home early in the morning after his skirmish last night. He immediately falls asleep and finds himself in The Reverie of Design. Like Usual Alehyeria Is there
"What do you need this time boss?" Zephyr asks. "First I'd like to congratulate you on your peacemaking skills!" she says proudly. "Now down to business in the forest there is an abandoned building that has been forgotten by everyone. I suggest you pay it a visit. It could be a good base."she adds. "Understood." Zephyr Replies, and with that the Reverie disappears.
The next day the crew head out into the woods to find the abandoned building. After a bit of walking they come to a small wooden cabin in the middle of the woods.
From the outside the Cabin is a bit dusty but surprisingly clean though it's clear no one lives in it. And one of the windows is broken on the front. It's made of a bright oak and seems a little more important than just a shack.
As Zephyr walks up to the door he sees a wood carved symbol of a dragon head. The head is smooth and round unlike other dragons. "Hey storm, since you paid attention in your history class do you know what this symbol is?" Zephyr asks
"Why i'm pretty positive it's a symbol for the goddess of light." Storm says
"Interesting." Zephyr says bluntly as he swiftly kicks the door open. Zephyr then walks in and turns the lights on. Inside is a table int he middle of the room, a light kitchen to the right side of the room,And broken tv that sits on a shelf on the left side. behind the table,Is a bed and a door that leads to a bathroom. And on the left side of the bed. is what seems to be a locked closet.
The crew looks around for a minute. "This'll do!" Zephyr says as he reaches into his jacket and takes out his mask and his sword and puts it on the table. Zephyr than sits down in the big chair and starts relaxing as Storm heads to the kitchen.
Storm opens the door to find a bunch of rotten food. Storm winces then starts cleaning out the fridge As Marrieoct closes the door and heads to the closet. Marrioct reaches for the door and pulls on it. *CLICK*. "Stange it's locked." Marrieoct says.
The other two swiftly head over to Marrieoct's position dropping what they were doing. The other two then take turns trying to break down the door but it fails so instead they put zephyr in the front as they all pull from behind. "On three..ONE….TWO…AND THREE!" Zephyr shouts as they all pull.
The door breaks off its hinges and slams into the crew. They then push it off and see that in the closet. Inside is a Robot With a smooth yellow metal head, with a Giant glass turned off eye in the middle it wears White gloves and a butler suit mixed with a maid outfit.
Zephyr takes the robot out and sees if it works. "Just needs some energy!" Zephyr says as he grabs his sword. He then Charges it up and then lightly taps it on the robots shoulder.
*ZAP* The robots red eye starts to glow a bright red. The crew steps back as the robot stands up. The robot looks around for a second. "Are you the ones who woke me?" The robot asks.
"Yes." Storm says. "Nice to meet you, my name is Unit 402 of the Hevaestus series, pronounced H-eva-estus. But please just call me Eva." The robot says putting its hand on its chest. "What year is it by the way?"Eva asks
"1832." Zephyr says Plainly. "Oh so i've been asleep for 100 years" Eva says "So you were built around 100 years ago?"Zephyr asks. "Yes, I was a butler robot meant to serve the light occult. However I was shut down and locked in that closet for rebelling against them." Eva says.
"Of course you'd be a part of the great robot revolt at that time." Storm says
"Ah, the event that led to robots inevitably getting rights." Marrieoct says.
The Group stares at each other for a second Then Zephyr realizes that they haven’t introduced themselves "OH! Yeah we should probably introduce ourselves, my name is Zephyr, this is Storm and Marrieoct. We are part of a group trying to take down the light occult and dark occult.” Zephyr says
“Oh Those Order Of The Gray folk!? I thought the light occult destroyed that movement but I guess they didn’t!” Eva Says. “Yes Indeed we are the New Order Of The Gray, you could say.” Zephyr Responds. “Well since it seems like we have the same goals. May i join you, i still have some grudges against the light occult and im not joining the Dark occult any time soon…we'll ever to be honest.” Eva says
Zephyr sticks out his hand in a handshake jester. “Welcome to the club Eva!” Zephyr says as eva and him shake hands. The group then talk for a minute and after making Sure Eva is Fine in the new base the crew depart home.

Zephyr once home goes to bed and ends up in the reverie of design along with Storm and Marieoct. However a new guest has arrived. As the crew looks around they see Eva is now here as well. “Wait, Is THIS!?” Eva says shocked as Alehyeria appears. “So your New member already Knows of the Reverie of design?” She says Slightly sarcastically.
“Do you?” Zephyr asks Eva. “Yes, It was a symbol of the robotic rebellion, though it’s less of a dream than I thought it’d be.” Eva says a little disappointed.

“There are reasons for that.” Zephyr says and with that the crew explains. How the constant years of war has led to humanity's collective dream becoming baron besides remnants of pain, and ghosts That roam between realms. “Ah..so you are Alehyeria the old leader of the Order Of The Gray then?” Eva asks looking at Alehyeria.
“Indeed I am!” She responds. “So what’d you need from us?” Zephyr asks politely
“Our next goal is a little more then petty vandalism. As the vandalism was mainly to get our name out there to both the Light Occult and Dark Occult. And well Though the Dark Occult is a little iffy. I can say we definitely have the Light Occults attention.” Alehyeria Says.
“I assume that comes from us raiding a base,killing a general and getting a trusted friend to abandon her mission?” Zephyr asks back.
“Indeed.” Alehyeria responds in a proud tone. “Now My Plan is to make a grand entrance soon. I’d tell you more but as of now the details are a little undecided. However it would help if we could weaken the light occults forces a little more.
They have a weapon base Where the town Avier was. If you guys could strike it then we’d be in a grand position. Though I understand if it’s too dangerous it is the most Guarded base after all.” Alehyeria Says
“I’ll let you all talk it out, i'll contact you when i have a better idea of the plan.” Alehyeria adds as the reverie disappears for everyone but Zephyr.
“Huh!?” Zephyr mutters out confused. “I wanted to talk for you a bit longer,after all this is your childhood village.” Alehyeria Says “
ah so you Know about that!?” Zephyr exclaims. “Can you handle returning to the home that abandoned you..now turned into a base for storing weapons?” Alehyeria asks in a joking tone. “Yes I can.” Zephyr responds slightly, laughing. “Anyways I’ll Let you go for now.” Alehyeria Says as the Reverie Disappears.

Zephyr awakens and gets ready. He starts eating breakfast while watching tv when. “BREAKING NEWS” a newscaster voice says as the tv cuts to a broadcast Featuring The King of Alial on a classic press conference set. “KING ALEIND HAS AN ANNOUNCEMENT FOR YOU ALL!”The newscaster's voice says, as Aleind Begins to speak.”Last Night we found a few Soldiers Of the dark occult attacking a base..we were able to deal with them easily however….ON THEM WAS A NOTE… ON THIS NOTE WAS…AND I QUOTE…4 DAYS FROM NOW ON THE BEACH!” Aleind shouts to the tv
Aleind breathes for a moment and before ending the broadcast says one thing.
“This is war!” and with that he leaves and the broadcast ends. “Things are heating up it seems…Well let’s make it hotter!” Zephyr says as he heads out to the base.
~
Zephyr arrives at the base meeting up with the rest of the crew. “So have you decided if we’re gonna raid that base?” Storm asks. “the answer is as im sure you all expected…a yes we will be raiding it!” zephyr says with a cocky yet heroic confidence. “But first Im sure you’ve all seen the news?”zephyr asks the group.
“Yes” Storm, Marrieoct say simultaneously. “No the tv here doesn't work.” Eva says. “Essentially it seems war between the Dark and Light occults is about to happen in 4 days.” Storm explains to Eva. “I assume you want to raid the base before that happens?” Marrieoct asks.
“Yes so well be raiding tonight get supplies and come back here in an hour!” Zephyr states as the crew scrambles out to get ready. Zephyr then begins planning.
~
Zephyr and crew arrive at the mountain base. They brought healing supplies and herbs, and are ready for a fight. They hide behind a rock just out of view and quietly observe the area for a minute or two.
“Lets go.” zephyr quietly says, the crew then runs to the door and enters the base. They come to a large metal room filled with boxes of weapons, Storm then takes his blade and fires a gust of wind at the boxes *WOOOSH CRASH*.The boxes break and the weapons are bent and damaged by the end.
A light occult knight then comes in. “Intruders!?” they shout as they head in to attack zephyr. Zephyr dodges then slices him in the back *CHZZSLASH* he goes as the knight falls down. The crew then continue forth through a hallway. They then enter a weapon lab with guns and swords in development.
Suddenly the ceiling above them opens up and down from it comes a giant gun with a yellow glow coming out of the barrel. “Guys a Turret!” Eva yells as the turret fires a bullet at them. The crew dodge it and start bolting around the room as it starts spraying bullets at them.
Eva is luckily able to get the turret of them as the others are still running around dodging bullets. He then aims his glowing red eye at the turret. The eye then glows brighter and then *VWOOOSH* a red laser comes out of Eva’s eye eradicating the turret. The crew suffer little damage, just a bullet in zephyr’s leg witch eh sues the medicine to patch up. They then search the room and see some basic blueprints nothing of major importance.
Except for one piece of documents it reads. ” research into combining guns and magic. As of current magic cannot mix with gunpowder meaning guns can’t be used on the same hand with magic. Our hope is to change this with some research.” the document reads. The rest of it is some sciency stuff and alot of failed experiments. Zephyr takes it along with some minor documents as it could be useful someday. But probably not in his time.
They then leave the room and continue forth. They then enter a giant generator room with what seems to be a miniature weapons factory in it. As they walk in they are greeted by one person standing there.
The person is a robot with a humanoid face, his left eye is round and red while his right is shaped like a humanoid eye with fake skin surrounding it. He has brown hair and a metal blue body. With his front side having a red glowing core. His right hand is a blaster and left hand is humanoid.
“Nice to meet you rebels my name is Neol!” He shouts in a soft masculine voice, bowing at them. The crew ready for battle. “Stand down, you know what we can do!” Zephyr shouts “No i apologize.” Neol says readiying his arm canon. “Though i thought there was only three of you. Seems you gained a robot.” Neol says. Zephyr sighs “Understood but before we fight i want to know your reason for fighting with Aleind?” Zephyr asks. “Fine…I need to know if you four can truly beat Aleind so in turn were gonna fight to the death. By the way no need to introduce yourself to me i already got everything i need to know from Reion!” Neol confidently says as he fires a shot at zephyr. *VWOOSH* It goes as zephyr dodges.
“Everyone go!”Zephyr says. he then rushes at Neol with his sword and slashe sat him. *CZZZZT* It goes as it collides with neols blocking arm. Neol then easily pushes zephyr off causing him to go flying into the air, Neol then aims his gun at zephyr. *VWOOOSH* A laser hits zephyr causing him to collide with the ceiling leaving a dent as he falls to the ground.
Storm however is behind Neol And is aiming his sword at him. *WOOOSH* A gust of wind goes hitting noel causing very minor damage. Neol then turns around and starts swinging his sword at neol but with each swing neol blocks with a hand. *ClINKSH*,*ClINKSH*,*ClINKSH*,*ClINKSH*,*ClINKSH* the sound echoes until neol jumps backwards and aims his arm cannon at Storm. *VWOOSH* The laser goes hitting Storm into one of the conveyor belts.
“YOU FUCKERS ARE NOTHING!” Neol says his voice now raspy and dark.
Marrieoct then aims there staff at Neol and fires a bit of flame at him *FWOOSH*. The flame hits Neol but Neol being made of metal and laser means it does nothing “ARE YOU FUCKING STUPID!” Neol says laughing. “No i knew that wouldn’t work.”Marrieoct plainly states. “ThEn WHy Did you!” neol says his raspy voice faltering
“Cause it allows me to get in!” Eva Says as Neol turns around seeing Eva in the air his fist glowing red, Coated in laser. Eva then quickly comes down hitting Neol directly in the head causing a red light to engulf Neol’s vision and darken the room.
*VWUNSH* It goes, causing major damage to Neol. Marrieoct has left the scene going to heal the other two with healing magic.
Neol gets their shit together as their round eye starts glowing red. “LETS SEE IF YOU CAN SURVIVE THIS!” Neol says. *VWOOOOOOOOOOOOOSH* A giant laser comes out of Neol’s eye. Eva is unable to dodge so instead they start gathering laser energy in their arm again. Eva then punches at the laser with it causing the energy to collide.
The laser then goes around eva. Afterwards Eva is left scratched up a little bit. Eva’s eye then starts glowing and then
*VWOOOOSH* A giant red laser then heads out of There eye hitting Neol directly. Neol then collapses as Zephyr,Storm and Marrieoct return. “Do you give up or are you positive you want us to kill you!” Zephyr says. “I Concede!” Neol says his voice back to calm.
“Though you three didn’t do much, your robot friend did most of it.
Though I do know it’s mainly because I'm made of metal and not for a lack of skill.” Neol adds on
Neol then walks up to zephyr and gives him a note.
“Don’t open it unless you four are in high danger!” Neol says as he leaves the base. “Good luck killing your cousin Zephyr.” Neol adds before leaving. The crew then take a breather for a moment then leave.
