She cracked her neck, slamming her palm on the button on the elevator as it began to go up.

[b]It took her up to a hidden floor... err... more like a hallway. At the end was a sealed bulkhead door, illuminated by a dull red light. Yet again it was sealed with a genetic key lock...[/b] [spoiler]Last thing I need you to do in your own post. Then it'll be fast-tracked[/spoiler]

“What was with me and genetic keys?” Kiyala had thought to herself, the echoey voice from before returning. [i]”The Key...”[/i] Kiyala simply questioned what the purpose of that statement was.

"Would you kindly just unlock it? I don't have much time left." [b]The pilot was growing worried, almost impatient...[/b]

She unlocked it, rushing into the room, her Blaster raised on anyone in the area.

[spoiler]There was no- -blam!- it[/spoiler] [b]There was no one, as it was an unguarded path to the siphon. If she were to go down it far enough, she would encounter yet another door for her to unlock...[/b]

Going down, she began getting annoyed by the locks, and proceeded to go up to the key, doing the same thing she did to the other two locks previously.

[b]Finally, it had appeared that she had reached whatever "device" was responsible for all of this and the drain on her still unknown powers. It held some sort of energy which pulsed through it at regular intervals, coming from God knows where. The entire metal contraption, huge in the fact that it almost took about half of the entire room (which was large in itself), was almost stunning. It seemed like it was designed to harbor some kind of... portal. To where, it was unknown. But there was no sign of a pilot, save a strange circular contraption meant to hold a human that connected to the machine...[/b]

She walked over to the circular device finding a way to deactivate it.

[b]But it held no one. No pilot, captive, or anything else for that matter...[/b] "Looking for me?" [b]A voice spoke, but it wasn't the pilot. It was the one who wore the mask. And suddenly, another blunt object hit her head, and she was knocked unconscious[/b] ---------------------------------- [b][i]A few minutes later...[/i][/b] [b]She woke up strapped onto a metal disc, the circular device she had encountered earlier. Several wires connected to her flesh, with the entire device angled to where she almost standing up, but still was looking up to the device And the one who wore the mask...[/b]

She could barely speak...yet the echoey voice continued to speak. [i]”You have...potential. Potential that only you may tap. And once you do, you shall become one of the Shadows...”[/i] She was too focused on the disc and the masked woman to care about what the voice told her.

"SHUT UP! SHUT THE -blam!- UP!" [b]It was like they could hear the voice themselves, rage and anger on the hidden face in response. Then it stared directly through Kiyala and at the being...[/b] "I won't let you take her again. I won't let you put all of this into motion..." [b]They moved over to what seemed to be a sort of lever, putting their hand on the switch handle.[/b] "I WON'T LET YOU TAKE OUR LIVES AWAY!" [b]They threw it down, the singularity that began to open almost acting like a vacuum. But it didn't pull anything through...[/b] [b]The portal widened as the energy moved towards the disc, through the wires, and into Kiyala. Then all there was was pain. Pure, agonizing pain. For both of them. Whatever the being was, it would feel it's connection slowly being to weaken, as Kiyala's powers were literally being torn away from her soul. She would see things, events that had happened, were happening, and would happen. Some events were in other timelines, some were of her own reality She saw herself, crackling with power and energy as she walked amongst a field of ash and broken corpses. She saw words dying, cities burning. Then she saw her own past, everything she may or may not have done. She saw a child, maybe hers, maybe not. Who knew? All this while in unimaginable pain. Then something went wrong A sudden explosion rocked the machine, detaching her along with the disk from it. She landed on the ground, free from the contraption and the pain that came with it, and was able to see something new. Things were coming out of it now. Entities. Beings of pure and twisted energy. Were they demons? No one knew. All that was certain was that these things were coming straight for her...[/b] "N...No. NO!" [b]A sudden protective shield came over her, repelling the beings. The one who had been masked the entire time crawled up next to her, their armor, specifically the mask, broken and covered with blood[/b] "-blam!-. Those things aren't going to stop." [spoiler]I'll describe her next post[/spoiler]

[spoiler]Gotcha.[/spoiler] [i]”You believe that you have won... ...The endlessness of the Void, and the Sentients beg to differ.”[/i] That shield proceeded to conjure up enough force to shoot the entity away, throwing her a small distance.

"No. NO! Kiyala, you have to shut it down. You have to gain control. You have to keep him from winning-" [b]For a brief moment, she could see the woman's face as it looked at her in pure fear. The appearance was surprisingly similar to Kiyala's own, except for the fact that she had dark brown hair and silver eyes. She was about the same age, if not older, than Kiyala herself. But there was still a good chance that this girl was her very own daughter, and that this was sometime in the future And then her eyes widened as the beings ripped her apart...[/b] [b]If she had any ounce of control left in her, she would have to shut that thing down[/b] [spoiler]Did I interpret that correctly? And also, those beings are from the Void. If you would like to work that into your lore (sort of but not really), that would actually be kind of interesting. If not, that's fine.[/spoiler] [spoiler]Unless by Void you mean Warframe. When I say Void I mean Dishonored Void meet Infraworld [/spoiler]

[spoiler]...I mean Warframe Void...[/spoiler] Soon, something...unexpected happened. A bright light engulfed them, as time and space began warming around them. They would no longer be in their original place. They would simply floating above a planet, in space...yet they could breath. [i]”You believe that you may tempt fate...”[/i] The sound of a ship was heard, quickly traveling straight toward Tatakai. A Tenebrae ship. [i]”That you, and the gods that be can change the Void and believe that you could shift it.”[/i] More Tenebrae ships jumped...yet something was off. [i]”The Shadow Master will make sure you are enslaved for what you have done.”[/i] Inside the Tenebrae ships, they were all normal crewmen...except all of them had some type of...new energy flowing through them. [i]”We...can corrupt anyone we wish...”[/i] He would wait for his reaction, Kiyala being horrified at all of it.

[spoiler]Gotcha[/spoiler] [spoiler]I'm confused now. I'm not Kiyala, Lilith got torn apart by entities, and you literally just did the strangest escape from a situation I've put someone in I have ever seen...[/spoiler]

[spoiler]Well...[/spoiler] [spoiler]It wasn’t Kiyala that did that. I’ll explain it as we go along, but theoretically, they’ve done a similar thing to what you did to Kiyala earlier with Aeron.[/spoiler]

[spoiler]First of all that was Ana, not Aeron. Second, I understand that part, just confused at the way you addressed me. Are you talking to Aeron (who is in Kiyala's mind)? Because if not I no longer have any of my characters present...[/spoiler] [spoiler]And also, you totally left that world for dead. You not shutting down the machine basically -blam!-s over a forth of your army...[/spoiler]
