Saitonia's Retribution Arc 2: Episode 5: Fiend's Ultimatum

(Saitonia has been summoned into the [b]Exomordus[/b] Abyss.) [b]Saitonia:[/b] Damnit Aino. Where are you? *A fiery, red, holographic portal appears right in front of him. He mentally prepares himself, knowing, but also not knowing what or who he could be walking into. He steps into the portal, and is transported into another abyss. Just a dark red, obscured background, surrounded by giant, spiked pillars.* *A demonic, hollow voice calls to him: "[b]Sőviaes[/b], Slayer of [b]Terranova[b]".* __________________________ [b][u]*Cliche--blam!- opening theme plays*[/u][/b] __________________________ (Whoever has called to Sai, emerges, revealing the top descendant of the [b]Exomordus[/b] Fiends; [b]Dyavolo[/b]. He's an [b]obliterator[/b], standing at 20 feet tall, possibly weighing nearly a ton. His primary colors schemes are dark red, black, silver, and gold. 3 golden, glowing horns on top of his helmet. Massive, shoulder and forearm armor, with lighter armor worn over his entire body. Long, jagged, glowing red claws. His accessories consists of a long, dark red and black cape assisted by golden spikes at the top.) [b]Saitonia:[/b] *stepping back* [b]Dyavolo[/b]? [b]Dyavolo:[/b] Indeed, mere [b]eraser[/b]. [b]Saitonia:[/b] I remember a little [b]Arckyvus[/b] to know you said: "Hello, Slayer of [b]Terranova[/b]." [b]Dyavolo:[/b] Excellent. Contrary to popular belief, [b]Arckyvus[/b] isn't a dead language. It's mainly spoken in [b]Antevoux[/b], a mainland infatuated with old traditions. [b]Saitonia:[/b] Haven't been there before. Must be technologically 80 years behind us. [b]Dyavolo:[/b] The reason I've called you here is because- *Suddenly, another person emerges from a giant spike, making Sai turn away from [b]Dyavolo[/b] and towards this person, making him enter fight mode as Sai yells "You!" before transforming into [b]Enygma[/b] Form Stage 3. This person is the same entity that has haunted Sai in his visions. Sai lunges straight at him, but is stopped by a force shield that [b]Dyavolo[/b] has summoned. He then uses the shield to push Sai back.* [b]Dyavolo:[/b] Stand down, [b]eraser[/b]. Now it will be unfortunate when you find out who's under that hood. He has already been rewarded for a little deal with me, now I'll see if you seek a similar reward. We came here together to give you an ultimatum. [b]Saitonia:[/b] *deep sigh before returning to normal* You're lucky I'm recovering from [b]Terranova[/b], and being pummeled by that [b]Vaisallon[/b] King. [b]Dyavolo:[/b] He came already? He must be looking for revenge after that war between [b]Saitranovia[/b] and [b]Vaisallon[/b] back in 2010. [b]Vaisallons[/b] are....born to be gladiatorial fighters, that's all they're taught to be. They are of ancient Greek and Spartan descent, mixed with pure [b]Terranovians[/b]. Statistics, [b]eraser[/b], the best tournament fighters are [b]Vaisallon[/b] or of it's descent. [b]The Entity:[/b] They're a big deal, but I showed them who rules [b]Terranoviatia[/b] anyways. [b]Dyavolo:[/b] Indeed. You hear about the bioweapon in the [b]Umbral Void[/b]? [b]Saitonia:[/b] Yes. [b]Dyavolo:[/b] A mysterious, cursed object those divines try so desperately hard to keep buried within. [b]The Entity:[/b] I think it'll be useful once i make my move in this timeline. There will be a plague coming soon. There's been this disease discovered in east [b]Spektrovatia[/b], in the [b]Shanxua[/b] district. And once the other mainlands refuse to shut down transportation systems in response to this newly discovered disease, a pandemic starts. Just as I wanted. Then, I can rule [b]Saitranovia[/b] in 2 different years. *sinister laughter* [b]Dyavolo:[/b] The planet erupts into political warfare soon. Just 2 sides, beating each other to death over ideologies. Cheating games to win over the opposing side, to make way for a [b]Saitranovian[/b] New World Order. [b]Saitonia:[/b] "The planet" not just [b]Saitranovia[/b]? *to the entity* You sound just like me...What do you mean "as you wanted?" You want to rule the same mainland in 2 different years while the planet is in a cesspool of calamity? [b]Dyavolo:[/b] Because...actually nevermind. Now onto that ultimatum. You do have an [b]obliterator[/b] sister, right? [b]Saitonia:[/b] Yes. [b]Dyavolo:[/b] [b]Terranova[/b] loved to talk. I hated him, greedy little wretch. You should be thanking me. The reason why you even unleashed your [b]Exomordia Enygma[/b], was because of me. I gave you that form to put an end to him. [b]Saitonia:[/b] Thanks. Weird, coming from a Fiend. [b]Dyavolo:[/b] Now me and the entity here has investigated your sister, and it turns out she wasn't....How do I put this? [b]Saitonia:[/b] She wasn't what?! [b]Dyavolo:[/b] She doesn't belong...in this reality. She belongs in the Utopian Reality, where the [b]obliterator[/b] version of you and your family reside. [b]Saitonia:[/b] Okay. I was told this before. I'm sure this universe can handle a little instability. [b]Dyavolo:[/b] Not this kind. If your sister lasts any longer alive in this reality, wormholes will creep in and open up easier, and anything from the Utopian Reality, let alone any other newly discovered reality, will make way here, and the most recent news I've heard relating to realities is that one of those divines were exiled and sent to a "Liminal Reality". I don't want to know if this effect will take our side, or the [b]Arckyvus[/b] Divines'. As bad as it is, we don't want them using it against us. [b]Saitonia:[/b] ([b]Cassanova[/b]...) Why should I trust what you say? I thought you would want to do something like open up other realities. You're used to causing chaos and other diabolical misdeeds. [b]Dyavolo:[/b] You don't have to trust what I say, you can just do nothing about it and watch karma unfold. So I'll give you 2 options: 1. You can send your sister away back to the Utopian Reality through a wormhole, and retrieve the [b]eraser[/b] version, or 2.- [b]Saitonia:[/b] My sister is still my sister. I grew up with her red eyes alongside me. As much as purple eyes would barely make a difference, it would feel...wrong, just to send her away. I'm sure the [b]eraser[/b] version is happy where she is. [b]Dyavolo:[/b] 2's the harder, but quicker option. 2. Kill your sister. Like I said, as long as she's alive in this reality, it stays unstable. Killing her would solve the problem. [b]The Entity:[/b] 2's even the better option. It's how [b]Dyavolo[/b] formed an army for me, overthrowing the previous ruler and establishing a foothold as the next ruler. Which is it, Saitonia? *Sai stands there, in deep thoughts on the decisions given to him, a deal with a devil. Seconds later, he's finally came up with a response.* [b]Saitonia:[/b] I'm giving myself 3 options. [b]Dyavolo:[/b] How daring of you, trying to hack your way out of this deal. [b]Saitonia:[/b] 1. I can turn away from this whole concession, which would be cowardly of me. 2. Decline and go after you, [b]Dyavolo[/b], or 3. Go after you, entity. Hell, maybe add a 4th and go after you both. Entity, you've been haunting my visions for a while, so my best option would be going after you solely. [b]Dyavolo:[/b] Those 3, 4 options will get you killed, one way or another. Going after me? Hehe....I'm not [b]Terranova[/b], I'm 1st of the descendants of [b]Exomordia[/b]. If [b]Terranova[/b] was so close to ending you until I stepped in, I'd wipe you off the face of the universe so quickly, it'll make light itself move at the pace of those creatures they call "sloths". Even if you go after me, be lucky I'll give you a head start. And if you do go after this entity here, perhaps I'll leave you all alone....for now. [b]The Entity:[/b] So which is it, Saitonia? *Sai ponders deeply on these options as an unnerving ambiance fills the abyss. It has taken him as long as nearly 30 seconds, but he has decided a final decision.* [b]Saitonia:[/b] I'm coming after you, Entity. [b]The Entity:[/b] Very stupid decision. I'll be waiting for you. I'll be back in this timeline soon, and I'll prove to you that this was the worst decision you've ever made. *The Entity vanishes through a portal, then a giant pair of holographic eyes and a head turn around and vanish as well.* [b]Dyavolo:[/b] I...might as well sit back, and watch...as chaos slowly unfolds. Luckily for you, Slayer of [b]Terranova[/b], the [b]Arckyvus[/b] Divines are still trying to hunt me down, as they have for milleniums. [b]Saitonia:[/b] We both have our own problems, might as well focus on them. *[b]Dyavolo[/b] vanishes, then Sai walks towards a nearby summoning circle to warp back to land.* __________________________ (Sai is back outside, no Aino in sight. As he walks off, a large, purple, silver, midnight blue, and white ship watches over him. Perhaps they're time travelers, gathering some intel on Sai. Whoever they are, they don't appear to have good intentions with him. The ship flies off.) ________________________ (Sai returns to the safehouse to tell Aino about the very strange encounter.) [b]Ainotias:[/b] Sai... [b]Saitonia:[/b] *hurrying towards her* Sis... *sighs* [b]Ainotias:[/b] I remember what you've told me. That had to be an imposter. [b]Saitonia:[/b] Surely had to. Even when I asked "you" some basic questions you'll have answers to in an instant, "you" acted like I was speaking a different language. I knew something had to be off. So I did go down into the [b]Exomordus[/b] Abyss, and I was face-to-face with the 1st of the [b]Exomordus[/b] Fiends; [b]Dyavolo[/b]. I don't know if you already know about this, but you, as an [b]obliterator[/b], don't belong in this reality, which is supposedly the Dystopian Reality. [b]Ainotias:[/b] Agh..so [b]Terranova[/b] didn't warp our DNA. I must've been...transported through some wormhole of the Utopian Reality. [b][u]*Continuing Below*[/u][/b]

  • [b][u]*Continued Below*[/u][/b] [b]Saitonia:[/b] [b]Dyavolo[/b] issued this ultimatum. He wants me to either send you back or...kill you. [b]Ainotias:[/b] *suddenly replies* WHAT?! If future you already, supposedly killed me, he wants current you to repeat the same process?! [b]Saitonia:[/b] The SIU also knows about this. Tch, typical [b]Exomordus[/b] Fiend. I'm calling BS when he said that this reality can't handle a little instability with you still in it. Like, there's many other individuals who were probably transported from the Utopian Reality, and his eyes are on you, sis? *sighs* It wasn't just him, an entity that has haunted my visions, is real, and I'm nearly 100% sure he's future me, and he told me some events that'll occur--like some [b]Shanxuan[/b] disease spreading throughout [b]Terranoviatia[/b] and the establishment of the "[b]Saitranovian[/b] New World Order". [b]Ainotias:[/b] What kind of tyrannical, totalitarian bullsh[b]i[/b]t is this? [b]Saitonia:[/b] Is there some organization that deals with time-altering psychos? Or is the SIU the closest to that? Maybe they haven't been established yet, perhaps in the next year. [b]Ainotias:[/b] Well, if you're stopping by the SIU HQ, go alone. I don't want to stick out and make them think they've witnessed a ghost. [b]Saitonia:[/b] I'm totally fine with it, sis. *gets up and casually exits the safehouse* __________________________________________ (Later, Sai has arrived to the SIU headquarters. As he enters the building, he can feel someone coming behind him, so he turns around, and not so surprisingly, it's [b]Maviko[/b].) [b]Saitonia:[/b] Oh, it's you. [b]Maviko:[/b] Thought you'd be surprised. [b]Saitonia:[/b] Not at all. *[b]Crisha[/b] walks in on the 2, digital pad in her hands.* [b]Crisha:[/b] Ohhh, Sai, nice seeing you again. You came back soon, and...*to [b]Maviko[/b]* what's your name again? [b]Maviko:[/b] [b]Maviko[/b]. [b]Crisha:[/b] Oh yeah. *tilts her head with a bit of concern, then straightens it* Soooo there was a murder in the [b]Icetip[/b]. This has been trending despite people still celebrating the fall of [b]Terranova[/b]. [b]Maviko:[/b] The story is everywhere. Culprits range from [b]Whitefang[/b], which is the most popular, to a crook, a time-traveling crook, or a time traveler from some future organization, to an animal. *The 2 follow [b]Crisha[/b] further into the HQ.* [b]Crisha:[/b] New evidence came in, and the fur belongs to an [b]Ursido[/b], [b]Terranovian[/b] bear for the earthlings. [b]Maviko:[/b] Now I can't cross off [b]Whitefang[/b] yet. They could be training any other animal that isn't a lynx to do their dirty work. [b]Crisha:[/b] Yeah you're right. But the lacerations all over the body were the results of a sharp weapon. There'd be no way an animal with an [b]ursido[/b]'s structure would be able to casually wield a weapon suited for superhumanoid hands. [b]Saitonia:[/b] Maybe a crook who uses an [b]ursido[/b] as transportation, and a companion? [b]Crisha:[/b] There's speculations that maybe the S.S, the noblemen hunters, or the freelance hunters will..enter enemy territory, and interrogate the [b]Whitefang[/b]. They're gonna have to be battle-ready at all times. Those [b]Whitefang[/b] will try anything. *A familiar female voice calls out "[b]Crisha[/b]!" "[b]Crishaaa[/b]"!, gathering the attention of the 3 and nearby SIU members. Out comes [b]Yaoni[/b], not in S.S. uniform, but in something casual. As the 2 notice each other, [b]Crisha[/b] happily replies: "[b]Erien[/b]! My girl [b]Yaoni[/b]!" As the 2 give each other a tight hug as the other SIU members get back to work while Sai and [b]Maviko[/b] watch. The 2 stop hugging as they initiate conversation.* [b]Yaoni:[/b] [b]Crisha[/b], I don't get this opportunity since the S.S. is always busy. How's it been? [b]Crisha:[/b] Been great, maybe a bit tiring. How long has it been? Like several months? [b]Yaoni:[/b] You weren't even an SIU member yet. *notices Sai* Hey Saitonia, didn't expect you. I've heard [b]Terranova[/b] is finally dead. [b]Saitonia:[/b] Hello, and yes, thanks to me. I'm not even surprised you know each other. I'm sure these organizations often interconnect. [b]Crisha:[/b] Yeaahhh, for Saitonia here...ooohh, how do I say this, [b]Yaoni[/b]? *inhales, then replies* He becomes a tyrannical ruler. [b]Yaoni:[/b] Whaaat? Seems like nonsense, I mean he just killed a tyrant, but the SIU does intelligence gathering, even in different timelines. Sai, are you aware? [b]Saitonia:[/b] Highly. [b]Yaoni:[/b] You know what you have to do to prevent going down that path? [b]Saitonia:[/b] Not entirely yet. [b]Yaoni:[/b] *to [b]Maviko[/b]* Hiii, are you a hunter? Freelance? Noblewoman? [b]Maviko:[/b] Neither. I'd call myself a chrono private investigator. [b]Maviko[/b]. [b]Yaoni:[/b] Okay. It's that fancy for time-traveling? You're from the future? [b]Maviko:[/b] Indeed. [b]Yaoni:[/b] Where's your technically present self? [b]Maviko:[/b] Not sure. If I remember correctly, she should be here soon. [b]Yaoni:[/b] Will she even be allowed to be in these areas? [b]Crisha:[/b] I'm not even sure. That's on the Director. __________________________________________ (At the same time, in southwest [b]Sakrisen[/b], in an enchanting forest, glowing dark green with tints of orange, a lone huntress is on a break, sitting by a tree, watching something on her tablet. 12 seconds in, she hears intense rustling by some illuminating bushes, releasing orange, glittery sparks that catch her attention.) [b]Huntress:[/b] *looking confused just before she brushes it off* Probably just an animal. *A swift slashing sound is heard before a tree just crashes down by the huntress, startling her and puts her on high alert, taking out a bayonet shotgun in response. She doesn't respond, she just aims throughout the forest, seeking for any movement. Something horrific catches her eyes; a large figure shrouded in shadows, dual-wielding 2 unique machetes. Due to the shadows, she's unable to make out any noticeable features, but she's not wasting any time. The huntress shoots a flare at the figure, creating an area of effect that deals damage, but the figure has vanished from that specific area, reappearing to her right. The huntress switches a mode on her shotgun and just fires beams at it, the figure barely affected. It then slashes a machete upward, creating a trail of explosive energy heading towards the huntress. She dodges, but more trails follow, causing her to run.* *It's an intense and haunting chase for this huntress, having to also jump from trailing' explosive energy, damaged the ground under her feet. 11 seconds later, the figure slashes towards a row of trees, causing them to fall, and luckily, falling in the huntress' way, as only 3 trees crash down on her, but, she's a superhumanoid, so the trees break coming in contact with her body, but also causing her to fall. She rubs on her right shoulder while firing at the figure one-handed, the beams either missing or not doing any damage. The huntress can make out the figure; standing around 7 feet tall, scaly skin with glowing blue veins, covered in black fur.* [b]Huntress:[/b] (No way. That has to be the thing responsible for the killing of that skier.) *in a threatening but also nervous tone* What the hell are you?! *The huntress takes out her tablet and takes a picture of the figure, then quickly presses an icon to make the signal public. The figure just lunges at her, making her fire beams at the figure, trying to fight her way out, only to be turned into another victim in mere seconds. She drops to the floor, leaving only a bl[b]00[/b]dy mess.* __________________________________________ [b][u]END:[/u][/b] [spoiler][b]Erased....[/b][/spoiler]
