Kate's Point Of View

John has been lost to suffer in the blue mist for an eternity. no, there has to be a way right, with time he will het some kind of Blue Mist Resistance right? "Is there any chance of getting him out of the dungeon and wait for him to develop a Blue Mist Resistance?" I asked making both Kieran and Conner think long and hard.

"Yes, he has yet to have a kid with Yuna and yet your children have memories of Yuna's kid" Kieran said nonchalantly. not caring for the fact that he just admitted to reading minds. "NO! I don't read minds, I just look at your brain to see which brain cells are activating in what way and translate it. I have worked on the skill for a few centuries" Kieran added after failing to mention this ever.

"...you?.... how do you even function?" I asked not knowing how someone so horrible with Mana can see inside someone's head so well they can spot individual brain cells.

"....not important, lets just work on saving John from the depths of a dungeon I can't enter" Kieran said with a smile, "Neither can Eron or Nina for that matter, scratch that, nobody alive that I know of can enter that place" Kieran added with a 'matter of fact' tone.

"Then?" I asked knowing he had more to say.

"I know 'something' that can get through that dungeon. you see it works on drawing out your inner sin from the bounds of your soul. John is stuck at wrath. I would be stuck with all of them having built up more of each of them then most. You Eron Nina li... etc would fail at lust with Eron failing also at sloth." Kieran said not even hiding the fact that he cant remember all our names.

After a pause I got annoyed. "WHAT IS THE 'Something@?" I asked and that brought Kieran back

"The H.I.M Project. Hyperdimensional Intelligent Mainframe. or the Highly Intelligent Machine if you find the first one to hard to say" Kieran said with a smile. yea that is a strange name. what is it and what does it do? "H.I.M can be found anywhere at any time, he is also a remnant of the previous civilisation. he can nullify the Blue Mists affects on 7-8 people for around an hour" Kieran said while drawing a strange symbol on the floor.

"Running Program 3900103290B. Welcome Back Kieran" A sound that came from nowhere said. it's voice sounded female and caring as it said hi to Kieran? "What may I do to help you today?" H.I.M said with a happy tone.

"It is not I who needs help, it is my friend John" Kieran said making the symbol he drew started to glow bright white and the vanished as a girl walked through. it was a small girl around 2 foot in size. she had bright blue flowing hair with blue glowing eyes. he race looked happy and innocent for someone who is an ancient. she looked at Kieran and...

"Kieran has a friend?" H.I.M said with a curious smile, she looked surprised to hear Kieran had a friend. "Does this mean you no longer need me?" H.I.M asked with teares on her face. Kieran looked shocked.

"I could never do that Zeo" Kieran said to ...Zeo? that is an interesting name for a machine... said machine was now blushing... no... it couldn't be?

"Yay. anyway. who do you need me to purify Kieran?" Zeo asked with a smile while her left arm turned into a metal cannon with glowing blue lines on it. it was the size of me and looked deadly.

"Kate and whoever else she needs to save her John" Kieran said making Zeo laugh a bit.

"Ha, you can't even help out someone you love without help" Zeo said in a mocking tone.

"I don't want to hear that from someone who looks like they can't even confess their fgrb" I was about to finish my retort but she put on a very angry expression while holding my mouth shut.

"You will say nothing more! you know nothing of the past we have had so you will shut up and when I allow time to continue you will not say another word" Zeo said as her hair and eyes were now glowing red. I nod and she lets go, I noticed nothing was moving around us and then suddenly things began to move again... creepy.

"?" Kieran was confused for someone that can read minds, I guess he cant get past Zeo on that one. he shrugs it off and looks at Zeo to do her thing. she goes red with embarrassment as I get wrapped in a strange light similar to the light father used to turn the Blue Mist into dungeons.

Stolen story; please report.

"Ok, Kate, Michael, Conner and even you Kieran have been wrapped in my glow" Zeo said with a smile before jumping up and sitting on Kieran's shoulders. Kieran did not look like he minded it. he definitely does not show any interest in Zeo. I almost feel bad for that monster. why do I say monster? well with John's Ability I can see levels.

[???]

[Level: Irrelevant]

[???]

and thus I know not who would be stronger. so I ask. "Kieran, who is stronger. you or Zeo?" I ask causing him to point to Zeo casualy.

"I have never managed to beat her in a fight. however, unfortunately she can not permanently kill me" Kieran said making Zeo look depressed. not even you can kill him? wow.... sucks to be you....

and on that note we head out, I get the feeling when I get back the others will be angry for not taking them with me, however John may be extra happy with me for saving him... again..... man for one powerful guy he sure needs to be saved a lot.

we walk over to the dungeon with not real problem since we have 2 OP monsters with us. we look at the dungeon, it is the most simple design, just stairs going into the ground. "So is this the horrifying dungeon that corrupts minds?" I asked and Zeo nodded. "Then lets go" I said before Zeo stopped me.

"I detect 7 entities inside. all of them register as John Richardson" Zeo said with a serious face. I find 7 John's impossible and just walk on. at the bottom of the stairs is a big room. John was at the centre. his title was no longer the MMO gamer.

[Greed]

[Level: 100,000,000]

[John Richardson]

Soo... yea I guess there can be multiple of him after all. using observe I look at his stats.

[Strength 498,003,000. Dexterity 984,000,000. Vitality 89,000,000. Intelligence 4. Wisdom 2]

monster... "Monster 1 and monster 2. how to save an idiot from blue mist. no time for the long story!" I said calling upon the 2 monsters behind me. Kieran walked up to fight John head on while Zeo sat down.

"Leave it to him, he is immortal after all" Zeo said with a smile yet also looked sad. what is there story? well.. I will shelve that thought for now. Kieran has started his full on attack and with 1 hit got turned to meat paste but came back together and continued fighting... I just had a thought...

"GET OUT OF THERE!!!" I said to Kieran but to late, a strange green energy was torn out of Kieran and he was sent flying and missing an arm. Kieran stood up and looked at his arm in shock.

"It isn't regenerating" Kieran said and Zeo brought out a huge energy cannon. "Not yet Zeo. I am not done yet" Kieran said while charging at John who stopped Kieran in his tracks. what the hell is Kieran doing, he isn't even moving.

"Temporal Shift" Kieran said as a blue orb appeared around the two of them. I could no longer see them. the next moment Kieran had returned and John vanished into a green mana and flew off down the next set of stairs. "And with that you damn bastard I win" Kieran said as he left the dungeon "Sorry, I spent a little longer then a day in that blue orb" Kieran said from outside the dungeon. so that means it is just us now?

"I will handle the rest Kieran!" Zeo shouted with a smile on her face as she walked off. I turned to Michael.

"Sometimes I wish monsters like that didn't exist, but since they do I am glad they are on our side" I said and Michael nodded. Conner looked at me and gave a wry smile but still nodded in agreement. what happened in that blue ball is what I want to know...
