  Champion: "Thank you, Radiaton User."

  Luna: *She puffed out her chest and stood in a battle-ready pose, pulling on the string with uncertainty.* (I've been firin' off fake arrows..? If it was working before..)

  Nathan: *He slowly inhaled and relaxed himself, as his entire body glowed a shade of blue.* "Number twenty nine, Air Slash."

  *Nathan raised the sword and swayed to the side, slicing a visible air slash towards the Guardian.*

  Luna: "Take this, dipshit!" *She screamed and released the string, shooting an arrow-like blast into Nathan's air slash.*

  Twortz: (Come on!) *She started to play the violin at a professional level, causing Karol to squeal with each dance step.*

  Karol: (Her power increased and it's hard to keep up!) *He waited for his arms to sway over his head, allowing him to quickly wipe the sweat off his face without losing dancing movement.*

  Rachael: *She watched the air slash and air shot merge into one, before violently bursting through the Guardian's armour.* "Yes!-"

  Twortz: "Yeeharh!" *She leant forward and watched the musical strings violently shatter the Guardian's back armour.*

  Rachael: "Double yes!"

  Nathan: "Now, for its weakness!"

  Karol: "Ah-" *He squealed and collapsed in a spiral manner, causing the orange glyph under Twortz to shatter away.*

  Twortz: *She took deep breaths, lowering the dagger and violin.* (I'm very tired-)

  Rachael: "What are we going to do?"

  Luna: "We don't have a super strong Rostickal attack, aye?"

  Nathan: "Chur.." *He grunted in agreement.*

  Guardian: "Now it is my turn to attack!-"

  Champion: *She faced the Guardian and cupped her hands, forming a circle with her fingers.* "Defensive winds, swirl and soar, offensive gusts, grand rifts blow throughout my spirit-"

  *The champion looked down, watching a green glyph form itself on the ground.*

  Rachael: *She looked over her shoulder, noticing glyphic-like symbols materialise in the air around the champion.* "What are they?"

  Trevour: "How-How temperamental..." *He spoke in shock.*

  Rachael: "What is it?"

  Trevour: "..."

  Rachael: "Dude, what is it?"

  Trevour: "Grand Rostical.."

  Rachael: (Grand Rostical?!)

  Champion: "Tunnel its power through the almighty clouds and pierce anything that stands in its way-" *She shouted with an echoing voice, causing the symbols and glyph to glow brighter.*

  Lezard: "And as the champion steals the spotlight, the delicious party couldn't help but notice the glyphs spiral around her, they also made a chime-like noise-"

  Champion: "DIVINE TORNADO" *She focused, causing the entire area to turn into darkness.*

  Luna: "W-Wat the-?" *She looked around only seeing pitch black.* "What's happenin'? Has somethin' happened to my vision?!"

  Rachael: "Why is it all dark?"

  Twortz: "I can't see-?" *She spoke with a trembling voice and started to play the violin out of fear, randomly shooting strings of sound into the darkness.*

  Nathan: "Settle down your large friend! She's wasting her Neurons!"

  Twortz: "It's black! We're trapped!-"

  Rachael: "Twortz!" *She blindly grabbed Twortz's arm, as she could not see her hand.*

  Twortz: "H-Huh?" *She looked surprised and stopped playing the violin.*

  Rachael: "It's alright-"

  Twortz: "You're a fake-" *She ripped her hand out of Rachael's grip even though she couldn't see her.*

  Rachael: "Hey?"

  Twortz: "It's nothing.."

  Champion: "Begone." *She watched a powerful tornado tightly swirl around the Guardian, bursting the ground around it.*

  Karol: (Th-That powa!-) *He squealed in thought, watching the nearby mud on the ground suck into the swirling vortex.*

  Nathan: (This is Rostical..) *He stepped back, keeping a safe distance to the growing tornado.*

  Destiny: "Y-Yeu.."

  Champion: *She turned around and waved her arm, causing the wind to die down and the area to revert back to normal.*

  Luna: *She blinked several times.* (I can see again.)

  Trevour: "Where did it go?" *He looked to where the Guardian was, staring at vacant space in confusion.*

  Trevour: "Did you defeat it, miss?"

  Twortz: "I-I don't believe it.." *She looked up with a dropping jaw.*

  Rachael: "What-?" *She looked up and noticed a small shadow in the sky.* "Is that-?"

  Trevour: (With the density of the Guardian's mud.. An impact from that height should-) "Unless you want to be covered in mud, get out of the way!"

  Champion: *She took a deep breath and stared in front with double vision.* (That took more out of me than anticipated-) *She started to hobble out of the clearing, covering one eye in exhaustion.*

  Lezard: "Every monster for themselves!" *He giggled in exhaustion and started to hobble out of the clearing.*

  Nathan: "Tssk-" *He suddenly jumped to the side and ran out of the clearing, keeping his focus in the sky.*

  Rachael: "Twortz-"

  Twortz: "I'll be there shortly-"

  Karol: "Warh-?!" *He squealed and quickly stood up, running towards Nathan.* "Oof-" *He tripped on his own foot, causing Trevour to catch him.*

  Trevour: "Watch your step, little meister."

  Karol: "Nee hee, fanks-"

  Destiny: "Yeup!-"

  Luna: "Ah-?" *She snapped out of her daze and noticed only Rachael and Twortz standing in the clearing.* "Where did everyone go?"

  Destiny: "Yeup!" *She hopped on Luna's shoulder and intensely stared at Nathan in the bushes, drawing Luna's attention towards him.*

  Luna: "Wha-?"

  Destiny: "Yeup?!"

  Luna: "Ah, OK?" *She grunted in confusion and started to run towards Nathan, causing Destiny to purr, as if Luna was doing the right thing.*

  Rachael: "Twortz? We gotta go now-"

  Twortz: "That power.." *She observed the swirls of mud left by the wind.* "It wasn't as strong as Millard, but-.." (I've still got a long way to go.)

  Guardian: "Gnaorl..." *It gargled a moan of defeat and crashed into the ground, exploding into a pulse of mud.*

  Rachael: "Ah!-. Rock Pillar." *She punched her arm upwards, causing a pillar of rock to erupt up in front of her and Twortz.*

  Twortz: *She watched mud pulse on each side.* "Excuse me?" *She snapped out of her confusion and looked at Rachael.*

  Rachael: "Let's go?" *She nodded her head with a smile and swayed her fist downwards, causing the pillar to burst back into the ground.*

  Twortz: "You appear to be getting better at your fantasy based abilities."

  Rachael: "Me? Look at you! Where did you get that violin?"

  Twortz: "I'll tell you on the way, but it seems we've got several introductions to do." *She spoke in a professional-like manner and placed the violin over her shoulder, causing it to turn invisible.*

  Rachael: "You've even got that ability Millard used?!"

  Twortz: "..." *She cupped her hands behind her back and started to walk towards the cluttering party in the forest, smiling at Rachael in response.*

  Rachael: "Yeah, Luna's here too?" *She sounded unsure.*

  Twortz: (How intriguing? She wasn't even on the roof when we suddenly got transported here.)

  ----------

  *Blake walked across a stone room, deep inside Sorrowprax, placing both hands around an armour-like helmet.*

  Blake: *He reached up, gently placing the helmet over his head.* (As leader of The Black Brigade, I don't often get the sexy duties of hunting people down, but...)

  *Blake placed his hand on a glyph on the wall, causing thick metal doors to slide open.*

  Blake: (If I can't like go myself, then..)

  *Blake hissed with a chuckle and started to walk down a stone corridor, listening to warrior-like grunts in the background.*

  Blake: (Zazark.. He's like a mixture between me and Tara.. He'll get
the job done, fufufufu.)

  ----------

  *A dark figure sped through a forest, causing the branches to violently sway behind it.*

  Zazark: *He ran through the bright forest at blinding speeds, watching the area blur past him.* (Despite Tara's seal, people were able to defeat her without major injury.. I can't wait to find them.)

  *Zazark smirked in thought and looked over his shoulder, watching his straight black, porcupine-like hair sway in one cluster behind him.*

  Zazark: (Report's log says, they're heading in this direction-) *He grunted in determination and swayed to each side, skilfully dodging tree-like blurs.*

  ----------

  *Lezard, Karol, Nathan, Luna, Destiny, Trevour and the champion gathered in another clearing just outside the forest.*

  Champion: (We made it out.) *She placed her hands on her knees, as if the weight of her hunchback was causing her grief.*

  Karol: *He slowly walked towards a ledge and noticed a massive drop, leading to a magnificent ocean.* (There's no sand.. It's just a cliff.)

  Luna: *She smelt salt in the cool breeze, as she listened to the waves crash in the distance.* (It went all black and I couldn't see anythin'..) *She recalled the time the champion used her Grand Rostical.*

  Nathan: *He wiped the sword on his leg, trying to get any mud remains off.* (This disease even affects Guardian's now? What's next? The Consultants themselves?)

  Lezard: *He heard bristling noises, causing him to turn around.* "Flaming fish-cakes! The mud Guardian is back!" *He squealed, causing Karol to squeal in response.*

  Nathan: *He turned around and sighed, watching Lezard eagerly point at Twortz.* "..."

  Lezard: "Oh, it's just you. Was hard to tell-" *He watched Rachael and Twortz walk out of the forest.*

  Twortz: "Your humour is impeccable." *She spoke in a condescending manner, flicking clumps of mud off her arm.*

  Trevour: "The situation was a little unyielding to us, wasn't it? Heh heh."

  Twortz: "A warrior? Aren't you meant to be bad?" *She placed her hand over her shoulder, readying to release her weapon.*

  Lezard: "I know!-" *He sounded cautious.*

  Trevour: "I-I am, but I mean no harm." *He raised his hands, symbolising his honesty.*

  Lezard: "What a plot twist! Ooo." *He sarcastically wiggled his bottom to each side.*

  Luna: "Who the fuck's this retard?" *She hissed in disgust at Lezard.*

  Lezard: "Oh...?"

  Rachael: "He's cool."

  Luna: "Aha, doesn't look like it."

  Champion: "Oh my-" *She hobbled forward, glancing at Rachael, Twortz and Lezard.* "I go by the name champion. What are your names? I must personally thank you for your efforts back there."

  Rachael: "That Grand Rostical.. You're really strong."

  Champion: "Oh my, me? I just know a few Rostical here and there." *She spoke in a high innocent-like tone, smiling with her eyes closed.*

  Nathan: "..."

  Lezard: "Well, I'm Lezard, you may call me your majesty."

  Luna: "Wut?" *She spoke in an unimpressed-like manner, causing Rachael to smile.*

  Rachael: "Luna-" *She walked up to Luna and gave her a hug.*

  Luna: "Gah, get it off me!"

  Rachael: "Hehe, how are you here?"

  Twortz: "Indeed. How exactly are you here if you were not present in my store?" (Does this mean people from other places in Dee Highs were transported too-?)

  Luna: "Nah, you left the back door open, aye."

  Twortz: "So, you trespassed?!"

  Luna: "Ye." *She spoke as if she didn't care.*

  Nathan: "Just reminding everyone, we still have to go to Silver Wind Island."

  Lezard: "Ooo!-" *He giggled in a sarcastic-like manner, glancing at Nathan.* "That's where our delicious adventure is currently taking us!"

  Luna: "Seriously?"

  *A ray of light blasted down from the sky, landing in a forest in the very far distance.*

  Lezard: "What was that?"

  Rachael: "A shooting star?"

  Champion: "It's been great meeting you all."

  Lezard: "But we didn't even get to introduce our-?!"

  Rachael: "My name is Rachael, but you can call me Rach."

  Twortz: "I am Twortz, a pleasure." *She slightly bowed in a professional-like manner.*

  Nathan: "Nathan."

  Luna: "Luna." *She grunted and pretended to be Nathan, causing Karol to giggle.*

  Karol: "I'm Karol, with a kay."

  Luna: "Naww-"

  Trevour: "Trevour, also a pleasure to meet your acquaintance."

  Champion: *She smiled at Karol, Rachael, Lezard and Twortz before turning around.* "I will definitely see you again, my friends."

  Lezard: "I hardly know you, but I'll miss you forever!" *He pretended to speak from his heart, as he waved his hands over his head.*

  Champion: (Until next time-) *She smiled and stepped into a hidden Spacial Funnel, causing her body to warp and disappear before the party's eyes.*

  Trevour: (There was a Spacial Funnel right there?)

  Luna: "Where did ya find this one?" *She snarled at Lezard, rolling her eyes.*

  Nathan: "Talk and walk." *He mumbled and started to walk along the cliff, purposely avoiding the forest.*

  Lezard: "How old are you, little one?"

  Karol: "Uhm-, this many!" *He straightened his arms at Lezard, holding up seven fingers.*

  Lezard: "Seven, jinkies."

  Luna: "Wat are ya doin' with a child, Rachael?"

  Twortz: "Do not get me started."

  Trevour: *He looked at Twortz, observing the area around her back.* "I couldn't help but notice, madam?"

  Twortz: *She looked at Trevour and frowned, as if she was insulted he forgot her name.* "Twortz-"

  Trevour: "Oh, I remember that, heh heh. It's just what I call people-"

  Twortz: "Perhaps start with their name? That's why we have names, no?"
