The Heroes awake to a new day in the Guild, and a booming voice beconing

  Xen: The Guildmaster wants to see everyone

  Gladian: The Guildmaster, this should be interesting

  Indica: Well get up you lazy ass.

  They head to the center of the Guild where the Guildmaster is speaking

  Acantha: We have received news that the Mayor-General has been kidnapped, but we have been told not to look into this further, I don’t know why. In other news, Were installing a new wing in the guild and i have paid no expense in having it built as fast as possible. That’s all I have to say, good day.

  Gladian, Indica, Viridian, Shiye, Auralie and Husk group back up together

  Gladian: If the Mayor-General has been kidnapped why aren’t we looking into it

  Indica: Uh if the Guildmaster doesn’t know why then it’s probably classified

  Viridian: But it 100% has to do with them Night Mages, Cendial and that weird Church

  Shiye: Dont forget Outer Heaven and the Cenntenials

  Auralie: This may be the biggest conspiracy yet

  Husk: UH HUH

  Gladian: Yeah we must investigate this further

  Shiye: So uh where do we start

  Husk: Uh (pauses for a brief moment) Huh....

  Indica: I think he’s beyond confused

  Shiye: It might be due to his brain damage

  (Cosma joins the group)

  Cosma: So what’s the plan

  Gladian: We need to investigate

  Viridian: Well we only have one lead

  Gladian: That stupid Church and Cendial and Zenial

  Auralie: Zenial??

  Indica: Cendial’s brother, I want to rip him into pieces!!

  Cosma: Slow down Indica, damm

  Viridian: That’s spunk

  (Husk Stands there motionless)

  Shiye: So, To the Church?

  Gladian: We've kicked Cendial’s butt before but he’s probably with his Brother now

  Indica: That means the seven of us alone won’t stop them

  Viridian: But we do know Cendial’s attack patterns, that means Zenial is liable to cover his Brother’s weakness

  Gladian: (ponders for a second) That’s actually a good point

  Auralie: If we focus on hurting Cendial as much as possible, then Zenial will be liable to help his brother and we can overcome them.

  Husk: UH HUH

  Shiye: So to the Church?

  Indica: We’re going to need someone else to go take on Cendial and Zenial

  Gladian: Who did you have in mind…

  Cosma: Hmm, So this Guy is a Shadow Inquisitor, so we’d likely need another Magic user

  Shiye: Or, how about, we get another Elemental Sowrdsman

  (Another Man joins the Huddle Circle)

  Erhan: Hey, Hey, you need a Swordsman

  Gladian: Erhan, isn't your armor still damaged?

  Erhan: Oh no, its perfectly fine-

  One of his Armor plates on his arm falls off

  Erhan: I lied.

  Indica: Man, how come Loren hasn’t fixed it yet

  Erhan: He says it looks good on me, what can i say?

  Auralie: Bro, I have no clue

  Shiye: And what was your Elemental Sword?

  Cosma: I believe it was the-

  Erhan: (Sighs), The ASMR Sword

  Everyone Else: (Hysterical laughing)

  Erhan: My god, You people will not take my awesome Sword seriously

  Cosma: Do the Shadow Inquistor’s Brains even work like Human brains?

  Shiye: We won’t know till we try

  Viridian: Wait, cant ASMR produce a Sedating effect on a target..

  Erhan: Yes, it absolutely can.

  Viridian: Alright we get some use after all

  Gladian: I take that back Erhan you are a valuable member of this team

  Erhan: Ok then...

  Husk: UH HUUH

  (Erhan bonks Husk on the back with the ASMR sword)

  Husk: UUH FOOD, (Enters into Trance like state)

  Indica: Incredibly Valuable member of the team

  Erhan: And, I can get Thanna to join the group

  Cosma: Oh yeah I was gonna ask her

  Thanna: Ask me what

  (Thanna was secretly in the group huddle the whole time)

  Thanna: I was using my Green Light constructs to blend in

  Husk: Wait how does that work?

  Gladian: I think you bent green wavelengths to hide yourself, or something like that

  Thanna: That’s the gist of it

  Cosma: You can bend over wavelengths of light right?

  Thanna: You know I can?

  Erhan: The Power Team is assembled

  Indica: Let’s go kick some ass

  Gladian: And let’s surprise them

  (Erhan and Thanna join your party as Guests)

  (Begin District from the Midpoint of District 5)

  (District 5 ends)

  Auralie: I know you said, surprise them but like, this is the opposite direction of the Church

  Gladian: Yeah but I figured I should go this way

  Shiye: You're really testing our faith here man

  Gladian: Just trust in the plan

  Erhan: Some

  Unauthorized use: this story is on Amazon without permission from the author. Report any sightings.

  (Begin District 6, stop at the Midpoint)

  Cosma: I don’t know why like, The Military hasn’t mobilized on The Night Mages and thieves

  Viridian: We're basically the military but also not really?

  Auralie: But like why aren’t there more of us out in the field? Or like where the city Militia is?

  Erhan: I imagine the militia is off looking for the Mayor

  Gladian: I always wonder why we are the only Public guild in the city?

  Thanna: Private Guilds are rich beyond belief and their Guildmaster’s don't actually care about helping People, just furthering their wealth.

  Husk: eyaiaiaia

  Erhan: Like the Jade Legion

  Indica: Eww gross, anyway why did we stop

  Gladian: Uh, to go into the Train station, we are going to take the rails to District 12 and circle back to the Church from the back

  Erhan: That’s a smart play.

  Gladian: See, trust in the plan

  Husk: FOOD

  Viridian: he must be back to his regular old self

  (Get on board the Train and a dark shadow ellipses)

  Viridian: Cosma and I will evacuate the civilians, and protect the crew, go fight that Mega Night Mage.

  (Cosma and Viridan leave your party)

  Indica: Let’s tango

  (After it dies, Viridan and Cosma rejoin your party)

  Erhan: Well done, so I assume, we are headed for District 12 now

  Gladian: Cosma?

  Cosma: You know it

  Indica: I cant wait for revenge

  Viridian: Revenge?

  Indica: Nothing

  (On the Train Ride there)

  Erhan: So did you hear about The New Immortals incident that happened a while back

  Viridian: Oh that, yeah The Century Corps fought them and most of The New Immortals died in the fight

  Indica: Woah…hard core

  Gladian: I imagine they were strong

  Thanna: I also heard that the only surviving member is still out there

  (The Train stops)

  Indica: Well this is our stop

  (District 12 begins, and carry on till midway through)

  ????: YOU FOOLS

  Gladian: Cendial come out of hiding, we’d love you too

  ???: Cendial? Don’t associate me with that Miscreant, you cannot be involved.

  Indica: Well well make ourselves

  ???: I don’t want to fight, but im asking that you leave.

  Glaidan and Indica: Sorry you voice, but were going to get involved

  ???: Fine

  (The end of District 12, get to the Church)

  Shiye: We’re Here, Our obstacles should reveal themselves

  (Scant Silence)

  Indica: Huh, Nothing, Well lets go inside

  (A collum of energy puours down from the church ceiling)

  Gladian: Get Ready

  (Two Mega Night Mages and A Mega Wind Mage is summoned)

  Erhan: Lets go

  (After the battle)

  Indica: They aren’t home let’s proceed with caution

  Viridian: If you’re airing on the side of caution i’m definitely listening

  (Begin Hall of Fools, a disturbing Hall filled with severed heads)

  (Midway Through)

  Shiye: This barbaric behavior is definitely disturbing

  Husk: (Licking the bottom of a severed head)

  Thanna: My god, that is beyond disgusting

  Husk: (Tilting the head so any remaining blood drips in his mouth)

  Auralie: Unfortunately we have to live with it, as it’s irreversible.

  Husk: (Pants and drools like a dog while slithering on the floor looking for more)

  (When you reach Sien’s Head)

  Gladian: What have they done to you, (Sheds a single tear)

  Indica: We will make them pay

  (Reach end of Hall of Fools)

  Gladian: I see a room up ahead

  (Indica runs into the room, it is full of bells and is painted white)

  Indica; I've never seen a tone change so drastic in my life, and this was considering what happened after Gladion sh

  Gladion: NO, DON'T BRING UP MY INCIDENTS FROM MY TEENAGE YEARS

  Indica: Sorry but i cant resist

  Thanna: This room seems almost familiar, I’ve seen it in a book called Illustrations of The Afterlife

  Erhan: I remember that book too

  Viridian: And this room definitely has a heavenly aura.

  Cosma: I wouldn’t think some Shadow Inquisitors would have a room like that in their church

  (Begin Bell Room 1)

  (Midway Through Bell Room 1)

  Gladian: This once seemingly Tranquil place is creeping me out, there are incomprehensible scribbles on the wall.

  Thanna: I’m bending light to try to read them but they look like they were written in another language

  Shiye: And it isnt my People’s native tongue

  Cosma: Perhaps it is the language of Gods

  Auralie: Maybe

  Cosma: Eh, probably not

  (End of Bell Room 1)

  Cendial: (Turns around unexpectedly) Surprise Guests

  Zenial: (Summoning Night Blade) You’ll feel right at home

  Gladian: No be our guests

  Indica: Because we've been expecting

  Viridian: and awaiting

  Indica and Viridian: Your Visit

  (Battle against Cendial and Zenial and when Zenial is at 50% health)

  Zenial: Brother, why are we losing

  Cendial: I don't know

  Gladian: We are winning!

  Erhan: I told you my mighty sword would help

  Zenial: Your infernal sword weakens me, but why

  Erhan: I will never tell my secret

  (When Cendial is at 0%)

  Zenial: BROTHER GET UP AND FIGHT

  Cendial: (Transferring his power to Zenial) I’m afraid i have been bested, RUN FAR FAR AWAY

  Zenial: Curse you infernal Century Corps.

  Shiye: We will best you

  Zenial: Not Today

  (Zenial runs away and the fight ends)

  Indica: COWARD

  (She turns towards Cendial)

  Indica: Tell us what you know about the plan

  Cendial: (Heavily panting) I’ll never…. Tell

  Auralie: Bummer, Well…

  (Indica smiles with intent)

  Gladian: Indica….

  (Indica glares at Cendial)

  Indica: If you can not give information

  (Pulls out her Ice Sword)

  Indica: Then at least your death will give me satisfaction

  (Stabs her sword through Cendial’s body, freezing his blood)

  Cendial: (Ghoulish Screams of Anguish)

  Gladian: Indica what are you doing?

  Indica: I’m making him pay

  Gladian: This isn’t the way

  Indica; i’m not making Cendial pay

  Cendial: (Look of fear as his blood freezes over)

  (Indica cuts off his head and it goes flying)

  Husk: (Catches head and drinks out of it like a soup bowl)

  Auralie: What The Fuck Indica

  SHiye: And Husk, just no.

  Indica: Aww you snowflakes can’t handle decapitation

  Shiye: But you enjoyed this

  Indica: I did, I got Revenge

  Auralie: I’m just worried that this bloodlust cannot be controlled

  Husk: But Food

  Indica: You know what (Relaxes her back muscles and takes a deep breath), I’ll calm down…

  Thanna: Excellent

  Viridian: Now, lets go explore more of the church.

  (Begin Bell Room 2)

  (Midway through Bell Room 2)

  Indica: I wonder how does this all fit inside a church?

  Thanna: It could be that the area inside has been greatly expanded while still remaining in this confine

  Erhan: But that seems unlikely too me, as where would they find the means to do that?

  Viridian: Erhan i saw a Multiverse Terminal in the train station, i just think that this city has some weird architecture

  Gladian: I’ll admit it’s fascinating

  (The End of Bell Room 2)

  Auralie: There sure are a ton of doors here

  Cosma: Honestly, it’s kind of weird

  Gladian: Let’s open the door

  (They end up entering Acantha’s office)

  Acantha: Rude of you to barge into my office at this hour, can i help you?

  Gladian: Guildmaster??

  Acantha: (Points to name tag), Can i help you

  Thanna: No mam, we’ll be on our way

  Acantha: You were in the room with the bells

  (Everyone has apparent shock)

  Gladian: How do you know about the room with the bells?

  Acantha: I was transported there one day after walking out of my office, and i ended up at the Church down town.

  Indica: Interesting

  Acantha: Anyway be on your way now

  (They leave the office)

  Erhan: Welp Goodnight

  Thanna: See ya in the morning

  (Erhan and Thanna leave your party)

  Cosma: I don’t trust Acantha

  Gladian: Whoah girl, lets go discuss this in a private area

  Indica: Any discussions wont happen without me

  Shiye: We’ll respect your privacy

  (Shiye, Auralie, Viridian and Husk leave your party)

  (Gladian, Cosm and Indica all go to Gladian’s bunk bed)

  Gladian: Cosma what do you mean you don’t trust the Guildmaster?

  Cosma: She said the Mayor was kidnapped, then told us not to go after him and dint give us a good reason.

  Gladian: That’s very fishy

  Indica: Not to mention we’re essentially a public service.

  Gladian: Yeah

  Cosma: And then knows where we were when we so happened to appear in her office, I don’t buy it

  Indica: Possibly

  Gladian: Yeah

  Cosma: Anyway I'm leaving

  Gladian: Wait why, I thought you wanted to talk about this

  Cosma: I did, but Viridian wants to go stargazing again tonight

  Gladian: But formulating a strategy…

  Cosma: Bye

  (Cosma leaves your party)

  Indica: We can do strategy in the morning, peace..

  (Indica leaves your party as Gladian goes up to the Top bunk when…)

  ???: Hey, is this bunk 45

  Gladian: Yes this is Bunk 45, what’s your name

  Atoll: Uh my name is Atoll

  Gladian: Hey buddy, are you new

  Atoll: I just joined today, I’m kind of lost

  Gladian: (Thinking back to when he joined) How old are you?

  Atoll: Uh, I think 10, but I have no clue, I never had a birthday…

  Gladian: Oh, and why is that

  Atoll: (begins crying) My parents died when i was young, and my Uncle sold me into Slavery after they died, and the slavemaster treated us like we were worthless

  Gladian: (Gets flashbacks to when he was young) I’m so sorry this happened to you

  Atoll: And the Slavemaster burned a Crest into my Chest

  Gladian: Can I see the crest?

  Atoll: (Takes off his armor revealing the Crest of the Porcupine blazed onto his chest)

  Gladian (under his breath): Oh my god.

  Atoll: And i ran away, and i came here

  Gladian: Well….

  Atoll: Anyway, Im tired, can you tell me a bed time story

  Gladian: A bed time story, can I?

  Atoll: Yes, can you?

  Gladian: Uh ok

  (He climbs down to the bottom bunk to where Atoll is)

  Gladian: So once upon a time, there was a man

  Atoll: Uh huh

  Gladian: Who lived in a dark place, and the person who ran this dark place, was evil and cruel. Awful things happened to this man.

  Atoll: He probably was beaten and mistreated and maybe he had a crest burnt into his chest

  Gladian: But he also never gave up despite all the horrible things

  Atoll: He didn't?

  Gladian: Yes and he ran away, and joined the Century Corps and went on to do great things

  Atoll: He did!

  Gladian: Yes

  Atoll: Ok, thank you, I'm going to bed

  Gladian: You're welcome
