the Traveller Walks through the wooded Area holding a vial. Having managed to get it in the Chaos he drops to his knees too tired to move any further Rachel and her Group walk out of the woods "this is the area right".
They nod "Fuck We lost 1 of are Light-bearer and A Damage dealer". she grinds her teeth her eyes narrowing to slits "What the hell happened everything was perfect" An ugly Scowl on her face thumping heard in the distance.
"What" the trees are moved aside as it peers out at the group it's eye-locking onto them The stone body powered by an ark crystal Shinsu Bangs appear all around. The massive golem flinging into the ground imploding cutting off Rachel.
From the traveller, a skeleton with an ark crystal in its chest walks out its flaming green eyes ignorant to all but its objective "anything that gets in my Way will be removed". his Language is deep as if an underlying 1 sits beneath the initial words.
he stomps on the Traveller pulling out Emily's vial he picks up the Traveller "cut them off" and it glitches between runes and words. the golem Nods its eye glowing before firing bursting into a wall of fire Rachel grinds her teeth.
"NO IT WAS PERFECT" She Sprints towards it getting pulled back by 1 of the members "Are you Mental That Fucking Fire". She squirms to get out "I DON'T CARE MY PERFECT PLAN RUINED REPEATEDLY!".
the member sighs throwing her back "I'll get it" taking off the cloak his body turns to Stone walking through the fire he breaks out into a sprint towards the skeleton who seemingly ignores the lightning volts off him.
As Skeletons Rise from the ground grabbing at his legs before fully manifesting Weaving the flesh of plants he creates a man-eater plant Vines Shot out from it piercing his stone form and draining the blood from it.
the plant drools acid landing on the ground "The aether guides me" he makes his way back to the traveller remaining unconscious the large golem breaking apart and changing to a crystal that floats behind the skeleton.
Dragging in materials it forms into a hovering crystalline golem. Rachel scratched at her head violently "useless they're all useless". mumbling it to herself She twitches walking toward the not extinguished flame.
she uses her lighthouses to track them the aether skeleton is still covered in a cloak with the crystalline golem following him "I'll just do it myself" the middle of the lighthouse glows launching a laser bullet.
flings out reflecting off the golem heading up the spot hitting more of them hit him the skeleton Simple starts running the ground bursting up in dust as he bolts across the ground. starting to Zigzag within the tress diverting the attention.
of the shots confusing Rachel it out goes it ranks the golem fragmenting into small crystal separating they all move separate direction moving back towards the skeleton. reaching the housing that was selected he bends down Lunging upwards he grabs the balcony.
grabbing it Lazarus meets him. "hello Aethermancer". it nods climbing up it sits on the balcony the crystal reassembling before dispersing and returning to Sig. "So you have the item". It nods showing the vial.
Sig gets up playing Yihwa down before teleporting taking Emily "I'll make her a body real quick". he creates an ark crystal pouring the substance on it "store" it absorbing it changing colour as it becomes Emily.
a flesh body forms around it Sig using his eldritch capability Emily remains unconscious "she'll be up shortly you have the Traveller right". the Aethermancer throws him down onto the ground still blackout. "I see".
placing a palm on the traveller's chest "ignite" his eye ignites forming a magic eye shinsu swarms him in swaths like a well "it seems he's been selected I'm surprised". Sig stands up walking to the edge he sees the lighthouses.
Smirking "seems an unwanted Guest followed you". the Aethermancer scratch his skull. "Activate fortress protocol". a shield forms around the structure multiple guns emerge everywhere. blasting Flak rounds into the lighthouses within reach.
"it's never been easy to get to any of my teammates". walking in he shuts the door moving back to his room "place the Traveller and Emily in the room let me rename traveller first I'll call him Krieger".
"take Krieger to an empty room with Emily they will both get up" entering his the skeleton nods he teleports back between the girls. falling asleep Lazarus takes them to a room walking back out he looks at the skeleton "so what do we do now".
"Good question want to play Chess". Lazarus nods "sure" pulling out a chess board Sig has he sets it up. "white or black?" the skeleton shrugs "White" Lazarus nods "very well" they play till morning having had 6 matches 4-3 the skeleton scratch his head "you're good Lazarus". he nods "I am I enjoy quite a lot of immortality".
the group gets up 1 by 1 Emily Xiaxia and Krieger look around "Where am I now" they sigh Emily looks at him "scanning ID no name". The man looks at him "Emily?" she nods "you have a Human body"
the door opens Lazarus looks at them "the master wishes to see you follow me". they get up warily heading out of the room they reach a wall Lazarus press the wall in a certain order opening up they walk in seeing a massive system cube.
keyboards surrounding the man as he types away program after program the keyboard lighting up as the buttons are pushed Sig looks through the programs and system expressionlessly "I need to make a factory". he continues typing away "Sir" Lazarus cut into his programming.
"yes" he looks towards him seeing Krieger and Emily "I see you've both already identified each other did you enjoy the privacy Krieger" he points his finger at him "huh me" Sig nods "yep you are Krieger now I see you already figured out I call you both here to make you ID and possible push you forwards slightly.
A violent Intent hammers down on Krieger his eye activating instinctively as hundreds of bangs appear shifting and changing constantly into his preference for explosives not exhausting him at all he notices them abruptly seeing them.
"what" Sig smiles "you have a magic eye A special type of eye directly link to your soul that allows your processing to treat bangs as if they're 1 entity with different directives It is a computer linked to your soul".
he nods "I have power now" Sig shakes his head "not quite you still have to get your Shinsu higher" the bangs disperse his eye returning to normal he falls to his knees innate exhaustion overtaking him.
"tired" a spike of energy suddenly hits him his magic eye glowing slightly in flame "wait my energy" Sig laughs at him "man the eye also restores energy when active in a docile state you'll notice a trend where you use an insane amount of shinsu yet only get the exhaustion after you deactivate it".
Emily points to herself "what about me" Sig smiles "you are a program within a human body I added everything required of you to be human well maintaining your previous processing. So you just have to train a lot. Exhaustion or stamina drain doesn't affect a program like yourself so don't exert your body.
"I put limiters in, so you don't break it down you can also run your server easily and turn those limiters off just don't expect to not injury yourself with them". She nods understanding his statement.
"So yes I'd like you to join the team 2 ID cards appear in his hand floating into theirs he smiles "we need more people to help Khun and the weaker members after all". Sig says this knowing and seeing the disparity between his teammates.
