NotIgor
Annihilation:F.O.B.
*the brawny man passes by some guards saluting him, detective in tow. he looks up pondering. he mutters under his breath before entering a concrete bunker*
I wonder if our friends will find their way here.
DetectiveHonoka
*He enters the bunker alongside the man, and leans on the wall.*

They aren't dumb, I doubt it'll just be the two of us here for long.
NotIgor
While we have a moment of peace... do you have any questions before our friends arrive?
Space_Cat
Mrrow... *A cat is scratching a wooden post nearby.*
Space_Cat
*It turns to look at the two.*
NotIgor
*he seals the door to his room and turns on the speaker*
This way when our comrades arrive we let ONLY them in.
Migrant
Brilliant idea, just great, the best. *applauds with her feet kicked up on NotIgor's desk*

So, someone book a one-night only end of the Nexus party?
Space_Cat
Stand down. *The cat transforms back into Space_Cat and trips the detective.*
NotIgor
*he sighs*
I can never just get a moment to myself can I?
*he draws his sword to create a barrier of pure energy*
And you are?
Yu-Narukami
*A knock on the door of the bunker is heard.*

Hey, you in there? I just checked Leblanc, the crystal in my pocket seemed to be pulled towards something there...
DetectiveHonoka
*Honoka sneezes, for some reason. He shrugs it off, and looks the older man in the eyes.*

A few things, yes. For starters, mind if I take a peek at that journal of yours?
NotIgor
*he allows Yu in before hesitating*
This journal is not for the faint of heart. It contains research far beyond your comprehension.
Migrant
I am the Nexus' Number One Idol, and one of the only people who seems to have no clue where they came from or if they came from anywhere, Migrant!

*finger gun pose*
Ryoji
*He shouts outside the bunker*

Is there death in there ?
Mona
*Morgana sneks in*
NotIgor, wait, what if I propose an alternative to destroying the Nexus?
Yu-Narukami
*Yu enter the bunker and quickly closes the door behind him.*

I think we might have a serious cat issue in the Nexus. Anyway, I think there might be a decent amount of Nexite around Leblanc.
Space_Cat
Hey, stand down! *Space_Cat takes out his lightsaber.*
NotIgor
This helps me little,"Migrant". Why are you in my quarters?
*he hears Ryoji outside and turns on the speaker*
No death here, only the will to live.
*he looks at morgana and sighs*
Were there an alternative I would have tried that long ago.
DetectiveHonoka
*He claps for Mig's excellent pose*
NotIgor
Good work, Yu. I will need to collect that in order to overload the core... give me a moment to clear this place of the riffraff.
Migrant
OOC: *claps for Honoka's excellent avatar*

---------------------

IC:

Why? Well because I'm a rebel spy. Viva Le Fr---Nexus or something.

*Is not taking this, or the threat, seriously.*
Mona
As the embodiment of the hope of the masses, i'm sure I may have some ability or potential that you don't. Something that may be vital to our solution.*
Space_Cat
Stop this madness. If you destroy the Nexus, the loop will continue!
Ryoji
Well that sucks.

*His scarf droops down in disappointment*

I got myself all hyped up for suffering yet no pay off.
NotIgor
*sighs and looks at Migrant for a moment before turning to Morgana*
Hope has nothing to do with this... unfortunately. The only way to do this is through destruction.
Yu-Narukami
*Yu looks over to Migrant.*

Migrant, what are you doing here? This is serious business and you shouldn't be involved in this.
Space_Cat
Stop this.
Mona
Heh, don't you know everything in the velvet room happens for a reason? If I had no role in this I wouldn't be here.
DetectiveHonoka
My my, I don't remember you being such a jokester. Well, whatever.

*He kicks off the wall, and turns to Migrant. His eyes are hidden behind his glasses, but a warm smile is on his face.*

If you don't mind just...leaving that would be great. We're in the middle of something here, and it ever so rude to interrupt.
NotIgor
*looks at Morgana briefly*
The role you can play will be to help me or hinder me. The middle path has long since been abandoned.
Mona
Yu, the whole universe as we know it is at stake here, and you're saying she shouldn't be involved in this?
Migrant
Serious business, I know. End of the world serious. And I'm afraid I can't really be uninvolved if the plan involves blowing up my home.
Mona
NotIgor, what are you, a messiah to lead the people? Or a high Lord searching for self gain? If you can make that clear I'm decide whether to help or hinder you. However, if the people wish for this supposed "loop" to continue, who are you to decide for the masses?
Yu-Narukami
*Yu sighs before giving Migrant a serious glance.*
We're not just blowing up the Nexus, we've all been stuck in an endless cycle and this is the only way to escape it.

I'd rather not be stuck in some imaginary world that just keeps looping without anyone realizing.

That's a fate no one should have to suffer through.
NotIgor
I decide not for the masses, but those who defy them. I believe you were in a similar scenario where bending to the will of the masses almost caused evil to win.
Space_Cat
OOC: Since I haven't been noticed I'll just leave... baka
Migrant
Looping? This world is doing anything but looping! Yu, have you been brainwashed or something!?
Mona
Actually, that was more the control few wealthy and powerful individuals had over the masses. It's different now, since we have fully intelligent beings who can decide for themselves. Either way, It's wrong to try and hide something like this from everyone!
Makoto
*Makoto knocks on the bunker door*

*She thinks to herself* This place is strange, anyway, I need to ask that man some things

Yu-Narukami
As I said, no body remembers it looping but after the things I've seen while investigating on my own it seems that we have all been in a loop as this world just grows more and more unstable. This is proof of that.

*Yu hold up the crystal in his pocket so Migrant can see it.*

This is what the result of the Nexus trying to stabilize itself, these crystals have the power to destroy the Nexus in a high enough quantity and have been used in the past to reset the Nexus before.
NotIgor
*he hears the knock, but awaits a voice. meanwhile he responds to Morgana*
I didn't hide this from you. I-I... This is the first day I've been in this place. I do admit I find fault with my other selves courses of action on how they distributed information; however, I am willing to explain everything if you only spare me your ears.
DetectiveHonoka
*He gestures for the man to speak*

By all means, the floor is yours.
Mona
Very well, you seem open enough. Now, if only we had a way to distribute this information in a way that people can both learn from it and contribute. Like some kind of... some kind of... forum!
Makoto
*she whispers to herself* Oh right..

*She knocks again and speaks*

Hello, I'm here to help out with this situation. I was with Yu before.
Migrant
T-that's a lie! This place is my home, do you think I couldn't tell if it were looping!

This is a real place, not some digital fantasy trying to stabalize itself!
NotIgor
*he looks at the detective*
I know you know of my plans... before I begin... I give you my journal to read while I catch everyone up.
*he gives Honoka his journal, a leatherbound book embellished with the crystal similar to his sword.*
*he hears makoto and lets her in*
Good we are all here.
Mona
Migrant, even if we disagree it'll be pointless to jump to conclusions like this. The best we can do is listen to what they have to say. After all, we have one common goal here, to stay alive.
Yu-Narukami
*Yu's expression grows tired.*

You're just in denial now.

Too afraid to face the truth in front of you.

A world of worlds? Such a fantasy couldn't exist without a cost and now that we've figured out what that cost is, are you just going to try and run away from it simply because it doesn't fit your ideals?
DetectiveHonoka
*He takes the journal, and lightly touches the crystal. He seems to mutter something, before shaking his head.*

Thanks. I can't say for sure if you have my support yet, but I'm giving you my word to hear you out first.
Mona
@Yu-Narukami you may have truth but you'll never be able to allow simple transition from one place to another, such as from outside to a inside, while providing privacy and security. Such as that Minato fellow.
Makoto
*Makoto enters the bunker and sits in a chair noticing alot more people here*

Have more people come to help?
Migrant
I'm viewing the truth, and the truth is you're just perpetuating the cycle if it does exist! What's to say this isn't how every cycle ends? With someone deciding to break it, and by breaking it just starts it anew?

Isn't it better to defy the reset when it comes around than risk causing it yourself?
NotIgor
*he sits at his desk facing the group*
You all know this place is the Nexus yes? Well then... shall I tell you of its origin? Or would you like to cut to the chase?
Makoto
*Makoto leans forward intrigued*

Hearing of its origin may help to clear up any confusion, so please tell us.
Yu-Narukami
*Yu begins listening to what the brawny man has to say.*

I suppose it would be better to get a clearer definition of things.
Mona
I'm assuming some god of sorts created it
Migrant
I don't need its origin to know that I need it to stay.
NotIgor
*he nods solemnly*
Very well... it all started at the beginning. The beginning of everything. The massive surge of energy upon creation of the omniverse resulted in a tear in the fabric of space and time. This gap between reality became the Nexus as you know it. Now, the Nexus wasn't always filled with cities and life... it used to be empty in fact! This didn't last. Someone went and got mass into the gap. How? Hell if I know... All I do know is that upon the mass getting placed into the tear it became a catalyst for expansion. The tear began expanding consuming the realities surrounding it. This is why we have such a diverse crowd of people here. This is where the cycle began. The core of the Nexus was the piece of original mass the started the expansion. Inevitably destruction occurred within the Nexus... small at first, but eventually it became so great that the amount of mass to handle the burst of energy was strained. This strain produced crystalline energy in the form of Nexite. The energy trapped within these crystals can be released of course. This is where the first me came into play. He overloaded the core with Nexite, causing the tear to collapse and return to its vacant state. This also did not last. Something else made its way into the tear by some means or other and it started again. The cycle begins there.
Migrant
Empty....?

No... No, no, no... No, no, no, no, no, no, NO....
Mona
So, how do you retain such knowledge if the Nexus was reset?
Yu-Narukami
*Yu looks over to Migrant shocked.*

Migrant? Calm down! What's wrong?
NotIgor
The journal contains all of my past lives up to this point. It was embellished with Nexite to keep it safe.
DetectiveHonoka
*The man pinches his chin in thought, and he chuckles ever so slightly at Migrant's distress.*

Tell me mister, why DID the original you do that?
Makoto
*Makoto nods and stands up*

So, the nexus was once empty, but then it started to expand and fill with many people from different universes. Hmm.

*she thinks for a moment*

Everytime it resets it also expands. And these crystallines are powerful enough to overcharge the core. And something unidentified also entered the tear...could that be the problem which results in these failed attempts to stop the Nexus?
NotIgor
I don't know... insanity? Boredom? I will never know... the journal only began with my second self...
Mona
So, nexite keeps it from getting destroyed with the reset? If it has that power, could we not use it to stabilize an area and prevent it from resetting?
NotIgor
At the very least we do need to ensure the reset. Imagine if beings without the power to protect themselves were swallowed up by the expanse? Too many have died and will die because of this place.
Migrant
You... will reset.... NOTHING!
DetectiveHonoka
*He pinches his nose, drawing his revolver and leveling it at Migrant.*

Oh for the love of god, shut up! I don't remember you being this annoying. Sit down and relax, the adults are talking.
Migrant
I will not sit quiet while you casually debate my death!
NotIgor
*he draws his sword, saddened that he could not convince Migrant*
This weapon can stop the cycle, or at least break free of it. What I must do is already fated. You may try to stop me... Another will come swallowed by the expanse. This will continue until my goal is achieved.
Makoto
*Makoto looks over at Migrant*

Would you calm down please! Listen to the facts! The Nexus....The Nexus has to be stopped. This is surely not a good thing to let it continue to reset! I am asking you, if you will not listen or calm down, leave this bunker. We will do everything we can to stop this. Your thoughts are no matter to us. Now, the choice is yours...Stay and listen, or leave.
Migrant
*Her rapier appears in a burst of light....*

I can't let you destroy it. I don't want to go....
DetectiveHonoka
She put it right. I couldn't give less of a damn about the whining of some girl. All I care about is doing what's right. Letting this shitty cycle continue is exactly the opposite.
Mona
Migrant, all you're doing is running from your problems. Put down your weapon and settle this through diplomacy!
NotIgor
*he cuts a hole through the fabric of space allowing those who cannot fight themselves to leave*
This weapon was made to end this damned cycle. If cutting you down allows my goal to be achieved... so be it.
Makoto
*Makoto is now in her Phantom Theif outfit, though her one arm, still broken is bandaged up*

Ngh, I can still fight!

*She pulls out her revolver and aims it at Migrant*

Stop your foolishness now!
Yu-Narukami
*Yu readies his blade and looks to Migrant with a dead serious glance.*

Migrant, I'll only say this once. I don't want to hurt you but if you stand against what's right for everyone then I'll have to stop you, no matter the cost.
Migrant
I only do... the only thing I know how to do. Live here, protect here.... *closes her eyes and sighs* fight here...

*She leaps backward, Fortuna appearing in her place and sweeping a psychic eyeball laser around the room!*
NotIgor
*the barrier previously erected maintains itself*
You do not understand the pain you are causing.
*he touches the gem on his sword*
This is your last warning. Leave us to our work.
Mona
*Mona leaps on Migrants shoulders and covers her mouth and nose, in an attempt to make her pass out*
Bgammax
*Gamma sighs as he walks into the bunker. The guards attempt to stop him, and find their weapons mysteriously unable to fire, as though they were frozen. One brave one attempts to run forward and finds his feet frozen in place*

Looks like I found somewhere interesting again. I wonder how deep this rabbit hole goes.
DetectiveHonoka
W-woah!

*He drops to the ground to avoid the laser, his hair getting singed a bit. He rises to one knee.*

Alright then, I'll take that as a declaration of war.

*Aiming carefully, though with shaking arms he fires twice at Migrant.*
Migrant
*Grabs hold of Mona and attempts to detach him with a spinning Bowser throw!*
Mary_Sue
So, I heard you needed Nexite.
*Mary pulls out a 50 lb. bag of nexite.*
I got more in my ship if this won't be enough
BonafideMonafide04
*walks in the bunker cuz he knows that mig might need help*
Hey mig. Mind if I help?
Makoto
*Makoto fires several bullets at Migrant!

Stop fighting us! We are not your enemies! We wish to stop the Nexus from anymore harm! Just listen!
Mona
*Mona digs his claws into Migrant's face to prevent falling off. OUCH!*
Yu-Narukami
*Yu continues giving Migrant a piercing gaze from behind the barrier.*

Migrant, just listen to reason here, would you really want us to just continue down this endless cycle if it means staying alive? An endless loop is no way to live. Living in blissful ignorance is just ignoring the truth!
Bgammax
*Gamma hears the gunshots ring out from inside the bunker, and very quiet sounds of conversation*
Yep, looks like all the action is inside.... Lets see if I can crash their party, if you would Shiranui.

*Gamma takes a deep breath, and ice spreads from beneath his feet, beginning to freeze the bunker door*
Aitome_Korichi
*Aitome is walking along the streets when he hears gunfire, curious as to why he creeps in, standing outside the bunker listening in, before drawing a short sword and jumping to Black Mask's side, bursting into his thief outfit

Alright, if I'm hearing this correctly your destroying the nexus? Yeah that's a no go for me, I can't go back to my world after what I did, besides, im not gonna just let my friend die,
Aitome_Korichi
Ooc wait there is a door, nvm
Aitome_Korichi
*Aitome notices the fighting and walks up to Pinky

So, what's going on here? You need some help there pinky?
Migrant
I choose life over death, what's so wrong about that? Either way I'm not dying a martyr, either way I'm not giving those kids a chance.

This is the only way.... this is my choice. My resolve.
BonafideMonafide04
*kappa appears behind bona*
K: This place is home to people now. You can't just destroy it. Many people don't want to go back to their world.
Both: And neither do we.
NotIgor
The ONLY way? We've given you another path! NOBODY has to die here! I can get everyone to safety! I just need time! Time YOU aren't willing to spare me...
Bgammax
*Gamma sighs and glances at Aitome*

Name's Gamma. You'd be best off remembering that.
If you've got a good amount of blunt force You could try shattering the door. But its pretty thick, might not work.
Alternatively, we could go the "freeze melt freeze melt" route and stress the metal enough to break. Either way I'm going to try to get in there.
DetectiveHonoka
*He puts a hand on the man's shoulder*

She seems to be past the point of negotiation. I dunno about you, but I'd rather just put one between her eyes.

*He makes a shooting motion with his gun at Migrant, apparently mocking her.*
Migrant
I die either way. The Nexus made me!

So if I have to die, I'd rather die with the chance of stopping you....

*Her voice wavers, but never over the course she's selected. Only over the sudden inevitability of death.... memento mori....*
Makoto
*Makoto stomps her foot on the ground*

Your existence over others huh? Are you really that selfish!? If we stop this cycle people will be saved! Listen to us! You block out what you wish not to hear! Please Migrant stop this fighting and come to reason! We only wish to help others! If our lives are at stake then so be it! If it means saving others...I'm willing to die!
NotIgor
*he feels bitter cold from his back and turns on the speaker*
Who's out there!? Don't come in! This is a very conflicted room and SOMEBODY seems keen on listening to reason! Hold out there for a while!
Yu-Narukami
Then you leave me with no choice...

*A card appears in Yu's hand as he crushes it.*

Izanagi-no-Okami!

*A whirl of wind surrounds Yu as Izanagi-no-Okami appears in a flash of blue light, power emanating from the Persona.*

I tried to give you a chance...

*Izanagi-no-Okami begins spinning its blade as Yu rushes towards Migrant blade ready before moving to the side at the last second to strike from Migrant's side and Izanagi-no-Okami unleashes a volley of lightning from Migrant's front.*
BonafideMonafide04
Ooc: wait I just realized there's a door too.
Ic: yo gamma, you need help with that?
Aitome_Korichi
We've already sung this song and dance... I can't remember names Pinky, at any rate melting hm? I can do that

*Aitome then bursts into red flames as her and eyes turn red, turning to Gamma

Just like against that shadow in the club huh? Here we go!

*Korumi then puts her hands onto the floor, eyes glowing red as fire erupts from the ground, melting away at the ice

How's that? Hot enough for ya?
Mary_Sue
Enough fighting!
*Mary uses a magnet to attract everyone's weapons and a persona distabalizer to disable everyone's personas*
Bgammax
*Gamma grins and begins to freeze the door again*
Hot cold method it is. Soon enough the door will crack and we'll be....

*Gamma pauses upon hearing the loudspeaker*
I can tell the room's conflicted, that's why I'm coming in. I wouldn't miss something like this for the world.
Migrant
*Mig attempts to block Yu's attack but ends up taking the lightning as a result. Wait. Lightning. Shit, it's that weakness she has that nobody actually remembers! She stumbles back, clutching her side as she glares at Yu.*

Really? Is this how you treat a friend!?

*She sounded legitimately hurt by his sudden eagerness to fight.*

Is this what BONDS mean to you!?

*She charges at him, slashing once horizontally and vertically.*
NotIgor
*he turns on the loudspeaker*
If you wish to watch there is a security terminal to the right of the door! It can only do video so you'll have to hear through the door!
BonafideMonafide04
I can help too! Pillowzilla, inferno! *a quiet roar is heard as the fire somehow grows in size, burning the door*
Aitome_Korichi
Is that Migrant? Oh boy! I still have to repay her! Come on Gamma! Let's bust this door! I wanna shed a bit of blood today! Hehehe!
Mona
Really, okay, resorting to fighting? *Mona jumps off of a Migrant and onto a nearby ledge* the only thing I can do for now is wait until she passes out...
Bgammax
*Gamma looks at the security panel and grins*
Oh, Yu's finally getting himself in a fight, and a real one too? And little miss Migrant's the victim. I'm going to love watching this.

Good luck with the hold-cold method guys. I have better things to do.
Oh, and try to keep it down, Hard enough to hear the fight as-is
DetectiveHonoka
Bonds? Sounds like sappy bullshit to me. All that matters in life is one's ideals and their willingness to put them in motion.

*He pokes out from behind the barrier, and shoots at her once.*
Yu-Narukami
*Yu nearly block the first strike and has to back away for the second.*

We were friends...That's why I offered you a chance but it seems you'd rather blindly run away instead of facing reality. Not everyone wants to be part of your fantasy of an eternal word. Some of us care about the effect of our actions and as long as the Nexus exists the other worlds will constantly be in danger.

Izanagi-no-Okami...

*Yu runs to Migrants left side as Izanagi spins it's blade again and fires off another barrage of bolts while Yu goes in for another strike aimed at Migrant's arms.*
BonafideMonafide04
Yo aito, how about we just burn the door down completely?
DetectiveHonoka
OOC: THERE IS A GIANT METAL DOOR FOLKS
Migrant
*Yu's onslaught is still far too much for her.... she can block all the shots she wants but the two working together is too much....*

Gr... Okuninushi!

*A Persona switch, meant more to remove her weakness to lightning and heal than anything.*

Matarunda!

*Oh, and to attack drop Yu. She hears the chaos on the other side of the door and at this point is just stalling...*
Makoto
*Makoto sighs as she watches the fight*

Is this really how people feel? Will we have to deal with more who can't listen to the truth, to people who only care about themselves and not of others. T-This is unacceptable.

*Makoto fires more rounds at Migrant*
Yu-Narukami
*Yu is interrupted mid charge by the voice and nearly blocks the flurry of vorpal blade, pushing him to the side and causing a few stray cuts to appear on his clothes.*

Great... Another friend who doesn't understand.

BonafideMonafide04
*hears migrants voice*
Mig!? Don't worry, well help! Let's get this door done with quick! Pillowzilla, inferno again! *keeps trying to met the door down*
Yu-Narukami
OOC: Guess were ignoring that then.
NotIgor
*reinforces the barrier around the room. He touches the loudspeaker once more*
This fight has become somewhat personal. I would request you allow it to end orderly and then I can explain everything!
Aitome_Korichi
*Korumi then looks at Bona with eyes that scream anger and bloodlust, getting an eerily smile

First off it aint Aitome, its Korumi, secondly if your gonna help do it now! Sheesh! Why is everyone such a moron in this world!

*Korumi then frowns at Gamma, disappointed in his lack of well, lack of anything

What a shame, here we go again!

*Korumi then stares at the door, eyes glowing red as she blasts it with fire straight from her arms, starting to melt the door
Migrant
You see...? There's plenty of people who disagree with you as well...

*She suddenly slashes at Yu while he's talking!*

People who don't want this world to change! Who won't accept a deal with the devil just to reset things to a way that make a few happy.
Bgammax
*Gamma sighs and looks over to Bona and Ai*

You know, that door was probably built to withstand a Nuclear Blast, as in an atom bomb. Fire's not gonna do squat. So unless you have a better idea, you can join me as I watch their little "friendship" break at the earliest convenience.
BonafideMonafide04
I think I have an idea. *teleports himself, aitome/korumi, and gamma inside*
Aitome_Korichi
Aw seriously? You owe me a fight when this is over!

*Korumi then stops the onslaught of flames, seeing that the effort is futile, walks over to Gamma and sits down looking at the screen, eyes and hair reverting back to pale

Sigh... am I really that useless... even with all of my personas..
NotIgor
*the barrier allows nobody to enter or leave*
Yu-Narukami
Migrant...just give up...

Izanagi-no-Okami...

*Yu holds a card in his hand as the Persona begins spinning its blade behind Migrant.*

...

*Yu crushes the card as Izanagi-no-Okami appears next to him and a blueish aura surround Yu to charge his magical energy.*

The next hit will be your last...Do you want to die here?

DetectiveHonoka
*His revolver clicks to signify it's emptiness.*

Man, I just cannot aim today. Well, whatever.

*His ears perk up, and he turns to the door. He shouts to those outside.*

I'd be happy to watch you guys die next, but please wait your turn!
Bgammax
*Gamma chuckles and looks at Aitome*

Yeah, totally useless. You and everyone else.... Man, this whole thing's meaningless anyways. But this is a pretty fun way to bide my time. Wouldn't you agree?
Migrant
If I run away.... I don't know what will happen. But I know that I will disappear eventually.

At least here... now... I can say I tried to support those who don't want this world to change. Who fought all this way for something....

Maybe not for long, but for a while at least....

*She looks Yu right in the eyes*

What are you prepared to die for? Truth for truth's sake? Or for others?
BonafideMonafide04
Wait, guys, why don't I just report you guys in?
Aitome_Korichi
I dont know what you mean, everything is meaningless? I would argue against that, I find beauty in the small things of life, just taking things one step at a time is good enough for me. Even if death awaits us at the end, shouldn't we, make the most out of it? At least thats what my resolve is.
Mona
*Mona begins to cry*
I don't want anyone to die, not here.
BonafideMonafide04
Ooc: teleport not report
Yu-Narukami
*Yu looks back with a stern look.*

This isn't just for me...this is for others.

*Izanagi-no-Okami's blade begins spinning as a torrent of flames flows around it.*

The truth is something I use to protect others, if you stand in the way of everyone's freedom, then this is for the best.

*The flames circle around Yu's blade lighting it on fire before he bears the blade at Migrant.*

One last chance...or I'm ending this.
NotIgor
*he mutters under his breath*
Nobody stays dead here... there's always a replacement waiting to be swallowed into the Nexus.
Bgammax
*Gamma chuckles again as he watches the monitor*
Things like this are pleasant for sure, fun to watch for a time. But eventually it'll all be over. And then you'd feel so much emptier. Really its best to remain distant from everything.

*He sighs upon hearing Yu's later speech*
All this and you still try to claim the moral high-ground?....
I can't stand idiots like you.
Makoto
*Makoto begins to tear up*

Please...even if there is a replacement waiting...we are still killing another. Migrant please listen to what Yu, no, what everyone has to say. Death isn't something we need.
BonafideMonafide04
OK, if you guys are just gonna stay here and talk, I'm going in to help mig. *teleports in next to mig*
Kappa, you know what to do! *kappa appears and sends a psycho force at yu*
Migrant
Farewell, my shadow....

*she clutches her rapier tightly*

You who stand at the end of the path I cannot follow...

*She throws the Rapier at Yu, knowing she'd never reach him in time. Hoping to leave him a parting gift, of grief or pain, depending on if he dodges the rapier or not.*
Aitome_Korichi
You do you Pinky, I can't stand being empty, so I fill myself with bonds, besides, they never truly leave, the memories stay with you for a lifetime, and that's all you need really.

*Aitome then notices Silver Hair, about to attack Black Mask, muttering under her breath

I knew something was off about him the day I came here...
DetectiveHonoka
Godamn, just pick something! Either kill her or don't either way, we've gotta get moving.

*He points to the door with his thumb*

Those idiots will figure something out eventually, and I don't see us taking on two people. Especially the idiot with fire, I don't wanna be here when that door busts down.
Bgammax
*Gamma grins as he watches the fight inside*

You like Migrant, didn't you? Wasted your time on one of those worthless "bonds"? I get the feeling you're about to understand what I mean much, much better than you'd ever want to. This is going to be great.
Yu-Narukami
*Yu attempt to dodge the rapier but its strikes through his shoulder leaving a wide cut.*

Ugh...I see. Then, I'll have to make sure you can't fight anymore.

*Yu takes the fiery sword and tries to plunge it into Migrants leg.*
Migrant
*The sword plunges into her leg!? Her eyes go wide as she falls backwards from the hit, though, screaming out....*
AdachiImouto
*Sayaka came out to investigate the noise and commotion, leaving Hax at home under her brothers protection. People in AS uniforms, gunshots... Even this is odd for a Nexus day. Heading towards the source of much of the commotion, Sayaka finds a group of familiar faces watching what appeared to be a monitor, behind it a metal wall. She walked closer to investigate, seeing... A surreal sight.

Yu, the friend she forgave, was pushing her friend, honorary chuunibyo "Sister Migrant" to the limit... What the hell was this? What is going on? Sayaka twitched as she watched*

I forgave you... I forgave you... Don't you dare... I forgave you...

*Sayaka was muttering repeated words as if going mad*
BonafideMonafide04
M-mig! *he begins clenching the blood moon*
Yu, why are you doing this!?
DetectiveHonoka
*He claps at the showing, and then points to the rift the man opened earlier.*

Alright, alright cool. We won, now let's skedaddle.
NotIgor
*he sighs in relief*
You have NO idea what would've happened if you DID kill her. As I said the replacement would come... but with no knowledge of the nexus or anything that happened within it.
Aitome_Korichi
*Aitome looks away from the moniter, bursting into blue flames as he dons him thief outfit, speaking in a lower tone then usual

Sigh... death is apart of life you know, I've accepted this fact, however while a death of a friend hurts me, it will never be enough to break me ever again, at any rate that person should know there are consequences...

*Aitome then pulls out his shortsword, admiring its shine
Migrant
*Hehs weakly....*

You just don't get it... do you....?

There are no other me.... I'm.... the only one.....

This place made me.... resetting it.... destroying it.... I was dead either way....

*There was a growing feeling of dread around Migrant.....*
Yu-Narukami
*Yu looks over to Honoka with tired eyes.*

Yeah...It's time to leave.

*He pulls the sword out of Migrant's leg, the fire cauterizing the wound to prevent bleeding but also burning her leg as he follows Honoka.*
BonafideMonafide04
*bona closes his eyes. He realises what's going on.*
You're trying to get rid of the nexus, aren't you? You can't. I won't let you. *bonas eye glows a bright green, *
Makoto
*Makoto puts her hand of her mouth and backs up after seeing Yu plunge his sword Into Migrants legs*

A-As bad as it is...he didn't kill her...This is all to help the nexus. We must do what we can to stop those in our way...
Tatsuya
*He walks in behind Sayaka and frowns at the whole thing pondering where exactly things blew up tonight*

Oh God dammit it all what even happened? *He looks at Sayaka in concern and smiles at her* Hey I'm sure what ever this is we'll work it out somehow right... Come on Sayaka let's think positive. *He looks at the screen and smiles both sadly and clearly tired*
BonafideMonafide04
**fires a megidoaloan at everyone hoping to make them not go into the portal*
NotIgor
*he smirks*
A being born of the nexus eh? I bet you're scared. This of course is the only place you've known the place that's nurtured you. Yes, you are correct you would die if the Nexus were destroyed. There are only two ways you can survive:Keep the status quo. Or I can make you capable of living outside the Nexus.
Bgammax
*Gamma looks up at Sayaka's mutterings, before speaking under his breath*
I expected to see someone break, not what I had in mind, but I'll take it.

*Gamma speaks up, gesturing to Sayaka*
Well then, I think this would be a wonderful example of what I meant. Miss Sayaka here loved her Miggy, and look what's happening now.
Would have been much better off without that bond now, wouldn't she?
Migrant
Even if I could... I have nowhere to go. Outside of this place I am nobody. Within this place.... at least I have something. I've lost everyting.... before... I don't want to lose it again.

It seems... I am destined to return to the void... to return.... home....
Tatsuya
*He smiles at Gamma and shakes his head* You just don't get it idiot... *He bursts out laughing* Oh God I can't believe I used to waste my time on trying to help you ya little flunky. *He smirks curiously* Hmm so feel like talking about your master's plans or who they are or something?
Aitome_Korichi
That's not my problem now is it "Pinky"? Im usually only concerned for my own well being, having friends is nice but when it comes down to it, all good things must come to an end, life is full of pain and misery, but, its what you do inbetween this pain that matters.
Makoto
*Makoto looks at Migrant*

Even if you were to lose everything...wouldn't you want to give people you care about a better life? A brighter future?
NotIgor
I don't think you get it, Migrant. This is no place to call home. As I said earlier I can evacuate everyone. There is a reality o have access to devoid of life. There I have had a town built over my lives. You should find it quite suitable.
AdachiImouto
*Sayaka looks down. She can't even look at the screen anymore. Her hands were shaking. She didn't want to see her friend hurt anymore whilst she is helpless to do anything. She felt betrayed, angry, and had no answers to any question she had. When she looked up again, it was at Tatsuya. Her eyes were unusually cold*

Hi Narukamis existence is an abomination to House Adachi... It always was... He must be deleted...

*Though she spoke as usual, there was no playfulness in her voice*
Yu-Narukami
*Yu looks despondent as he stands next to the portal.*

I didn't want it to come to this...but the well being of everyone is more important than one person's concerns and pain. Plenty of people here understand that.
Migrant
A better life...?

*actually smiles*

You sound like someone I knew... a long time ago... But he's gone. They all are...

The Void consumed home.... perhaps home became the Nexus... perhaps home was another cycle....

But it's gone now....

*a single tear appears to roll down Mig's cheek. The one not facing the camera.*
BonafideMonafide04
*heals up migrant using diarahan*
No. This place is home for many people. They don't wanna go back to their world. Especially me. Migrant. And many others.
Aitome_Korichi
Saki has that right, that Silver Hair has never had a good vibe to me, ever since I stepped into this realm I've heard of all his, supposed, "Good Deeds" I've never seen him do a single one, hurting a friend like that deserves it in kind, eye for an eye as they say

*Aitome brings up his shortsword to his face, staring at the edge, eyes although blue has a tinge of red in the back, flames dancing in the blacks of the eye.
DetectiveHonoka
*He stops in front of the rift, turning to Migrant.*

You're...special. You're not human, not like any of us.

*He walks over to her, looking down at her with contempt. He points his revolver at her head, and makes a shooting motion while saying "bang".

He wanted you alive, I won't kill you. As much as I want to.

*He turns to the brawny man, and smiles at him.*

You really do plan for everything, don't you boss? I can respect that.
Tatsuya
*He looks at Sayaka and sighs*
Are you sure that's a good idea? I doubt he wanted to kill anyone Sayaka we really don't get the full story here. *He rubs his forehead* This is one huge cluster fuck of a thing we walked into the middle of...

can you at least promise me you that you'll try to get a better picture of what happened? *He speaks calmly and in an even tone through the whole exchange*
Bgammax
*Gamma starts laughing, he can hardly keep his eyes on the monitor*
You, help me? You've always hated me Tats, and always will. Its only recently you finally got to take of your civil little mask and show me how you feel, how you are. Its priceless.

*Gamma stops laughing long enough to cast Ai a sideways glance*
Everything you do in the meantime is simply an attempt to avoid that pain, that misery. You try to fill your empty life with friends, with happiness, because you're scared of how you may feel otherwise. But trust me, if you learn to accept that emptiness... Its really a lot better in the end.
AdachiImouto
*What Gamma said to Sayaka had struck a nerve at the worst possible timing, she looked at him dead in the eyes*

Go... Fuck yourself. You're just miserable because no one likes you... I thought like that once, but now I know friendship, and love... You can't have that, can you? No... You can't. Because you're nothing, and you'll always be nothing.

*Sayaka smirked darkly, looking a lot like her brother in this moment*
Mona
I better get out there, it sounds pretty bad...
Burly man! Is there any way out of this bunker! I think these people deserve some clarity.
NotIgor
*he opens a rift to just outside the bunker*
I don't know what's going on out there... but do the right thing.
Aitome_Korichi
Moron... Tormention is my emptiness, my pain, suffering and misery incarnate, even so why would you simply accept the pain? Are you scared of it? Pain is inevitable, so why not enjoy things while you can? Its the journey not the destination.
BonafideMonafide04
*yelling to the group outsode*
DONT GO IN GUYS!
Mona
I'll try my best!
*Mona enters the rift*
Everyone! Please allow me to explain what you just witnessed!
Makoto
*Makoto looks down*


You know, I once lost someone very special to me...I felt nothing for quite some time. I was a burden to my sister, so I did everything I could to make up for my uselessness, but then, I met people who I was actually helpful towards. We did some pretty big things. In the end I had to make a choice, a choice that put my life on the line for a better life. Me and my friends succeeded. Even if you may go away Migrant, at least You'll know that those you care about are safe.
Bgammax
*And with Sayaka's last statement, Gamma starts laughing again*

No one likes me eh? Good. Its far better, far easier that way. I don't need crap like friendship and love, all I need is myself and my peace. You make it sound like a bad thing... But to me its obvious. Its much, much better than dealing with all the pain you're going through right now, isn't it?

*Gamma has no time to respond to Ai before the rift appears, and he heads inside*
Looks like I'm allowed in on the fun now, doesn't it?
NotIgor
*before exiting the Rift leading to a secure location he puts a bracelet with a bright blue crystal on it*
This will protect you. You are now your own self.
*he leaves*
Tatsuya
*He sighs at Gamma* Always hated you? Tch you're dumber than I thought, honestly I used to like you but then you just kept on getting worse and worse everyday Gamma.

*He looks at Sayaka in a strange mix of impressed and horrified* Sayaka.... I'd love to say you're wrong but. *He pauses* No you are, Gamma isn't nothing he's another person too after all...

But he chooses not to care about anyone, I really don't get it and frankly? *He raises an eyebrow, more at himself than Sayaka* You summed up my thoughts pretty well other than saying he's nothing.
Migrant
We tried....

*Dark hands begin to push their way out of the ground around Migrant...*

And all we got was death....

And I woke up here...

Were they related...? Are they not...? Either way.... all I know is I don't want this place... this new home... to be consumed...

It's special.... I have family.... friends... a home.... even beyond Tokyo...

*She barely is able to speak out another "I don't want to go...."*
Aitome_Korichi
Heh, finally, answers... you better not die in there yet Black Mask...

*Aitome then enters the rift behind Pinky, carrying a short sword at his side,
DetectiveHonoka
*He looks to the rift, and back to Migrant on the ground. He raises a foot over her wound, as if tempted to deliver a harsh stomp to it. He brings his foot down...and stops just above the gash in her leg. He smirks, and spits on her before walking away into the rift.*

Bet I fooled ya, huh? Toodles.~
Mona
Ooc: Gamma, the rift was meant for me to exit, not for you to entet
Makoto
*Makoto looks around the room one more time before exiting through the rift*

I wish you would come to understand...

*She leaves*
Yu-Narukami
*Yu walks towards the rift behind the brawny man without looking back.*

I really am sorry it came to this...

*Yu walks into the portal and disappears.*
AdachiImouto
*Sayaka would love to tear Gamma down right now, but Monas appearance soon catches her attention. She takes a deep breath to calm herself before speaking clearly*

Mona-chan...? Yes... Please tell us everything...
Bgammax
OOC: I never actually entered, just commented on the rift. I see most people misinterpreted that.
Aitome_Korichi
Ooc: Eh not clear, ret con!

That damn Silver Hair.. who does he think he is... passing judgement without a single care in the world... he will get what's coming to him...
BonafideMonafide04
Mig.....
*there is a red flash in his eye*
Heheh... Don't worry old pal.
*the red flash grows brighted*
I'll make them pay for this.
Mona
You see, according to NotIgor, the Nexus core is unstable and will cause the Nexus to reset and destroy everything. NotIgor wants to stop this loop from happening by destroying the Nexus and sending everyone in it to a new location. Migrant was upset about the concept of the Nexus getting destroyed and went berserk! She started drawing weapons and I tried to stop her. Yu only did what he thought was best...
Migrant
I don't... want....

*and with that the arms drag Mig into the ground. Leaving behind just a single, sealed, envelope. Which will likely go undiscovered behind that solid door.*
Mona
*Mona has his back to the monitor and doesn't notice not disappearing*
Mona
*Mig disappearing
Aitome_Korichi
Tch, its only natural, still Silver Hair rubs me the wrong way, he's just gonna do it again if he thinks it's right, nobody should have that power...

At any rate where is Black Mask? Dead or alive? Preferably alive but that strike was a bad one.
Bgammax
*Gamma continues laughing, looking at the ground*
So what if everything's gone? That's a lot easier, really. But, I don't have any plans to go with it, so... When do we start?
Mona
You mean Migrant? She should still be in there. I trust NotIgor to protect her.
BonafideMonafide04
*is still behind the door and notices the letter and picks it up*
Huh? How did she write this? *goes outside again*
Roxas-
*A dark portal Appears in the room with the letter as Roxas steps out and looks around in confusion*
Huh that's weird I could of sworn that there was all kinds of magic centered here... But it's empty. *He glances to the letter then grabs it and leaves once again, though not before checking the note.*
AdachiImouto
The Nexus core is unstable...? Destroy everyone...? As in, everyone?

*Sayaka wasn't a pragmatic person, but the thought of everyone she cares about dying was frightening. She had no reason to doubt Mona. She nodded, starting to understand*

I see... If destroying the Nexus and giving us a new home is the only option, I understand. As long as you we All get to go.

But Sister Migrant... She needs help right now! She's going to die with how much blood she's losing!
Migrant
"If you seek the truth about your past, head to the Mansion of Darkness. From its gate you will find the answers you seek."

*Migrant did mention at GYM about receiving a letter... but could this be coincidence? Or a last cry for help....?*
Aitome_Korichi
Really now? Then where is she? You didn't take her with you? Sigh... things just don't add up...

*Aitome scarches his head turning to Pinky

I mean, if you don't want bonds why go ahead with it in the first place, didn't you say you wanted to distance yourself? Somewhat hypocritical now isn't it?
BonafideMonafide04
*the eye bursts into flames*
They think they can destroy the nexus? That's. Not. Happening.
AdachiImouto
...

*Just as Sayaka finishes her sentence, she sees Migrant vanish on the monitor as if she was never there at all. She falls to her knees, blankly looking at the screen. She had no words. This was different from being injured, alone, bullied or anything else... A hollow feeling.*
Bgammax
*Gamma looks at Aitome with an eyebrow raised*
So because I don't have friends I should just let myself die? Wow, that's pretty brutal. Never expected it from you. Thanks for letting the mask slip.
As I've said, I have no intent to vanish with the Nexus, so if they plan on making a way out before it goes, I'll tag along. If I miss it, well, I'm sure there're other ways.
Mona
Bona! Would you rather it have never existed! Cause That's What's happening if we do nothing!
Tatsuya
*He looks at Sayaka and weakly smiles* Hey I I'm sure she'll be fine right? *He looks at the screen as the Blonde young man picks up the letter* I'm sure that she's just been taken somewhere Sayaka we'll fix this... Really. *He sounds sure of his words, in spite of not really being so*
Mona
Wait, Tatsuya, I'm confused now. What happened? *Mona turns to the monitor* where'd mig go?
Aitome_Korichi
You thought I was a hero? Far from it Pinky, I've never helped people for a while now, I've mostly done things for my own good, at any rate why don't you vanish? Death is inevitable and you said you didn't want to be hollow, so why don't you end it now? Instead of waiting? If you wish I will do so personally, I typically don't kill but if you want it...
Tatsuya
She was grabbed by some weird dark hands... Left a letter behind too, Roxas grabbed it.
Bgammax
*Gamma sighs and shakes his head*

No one wants to feel hollow. But its really better that way you idiot. I don't plan to die, so I'll simply continue existing like this. Its rather calm if you think about it. I don't have to go through what young Sayaka is.
AdachiImouto
*Sayaka assumed her to be dead, but Tatsuya made her question herself. It could be possible she was alive... For now, she decided to think logically and not make assumptions again. Like her brother would. She nodded to herself*

...I hope your broken brilliance guides you through this hardship, Sister Migrant.
Aitome_Korichi
Moron, your just delaying the inevitable, does death really sound so scary when your simply allowing it to happen? Your just waiting for the end the way your living, not doing anything worthwhile, your just like a sheep to the slaughter...
Tatsuya
*He nods at her and smiles* Yeah we have to believe in her! I've got faith that we can pull Mig through this somehow Sayaka so don't give up yet, *his eyes look a bit haunted* I'm not about to lose anymore friends and I'm sure you aren't either... *He mutters under his breath to himself* I can't deal with that happening to you too Sayaka.
Mona
Gamma, is that pain and suffering really that hard though? I'm curious as to what makes you feel this way. Some sort of past experience? Seems like you have nothing better to do these days, so do you mind telling me some stories sometime?
Bgammax
Tell me this then. Why would I want to die? It seems to be the ultimate exercise in pointlessness. I happen to enjoy being alive, in my own way. So I plan to simply continue onwards. I may have no direction myself, but such things are unneccessary
Aitome_Korichi
Nobody wants to die, that's a rule of being alive, however from what your saying, you don't want to feel hollow from heartbreak, you don't want friends, you don't want to appreciate things, wouldn't death be a swift solution then?Then tell me this, why do you live?
Bgammax
*Gamma's expression hardens again as he glares at Mona*
I don't know what you're trying to hint at, but my past is my business, and mine alone. Got it? I don't know if you're trying to play therapist or whatever, but I don't need any of your help.

*Gamma quickly stands up*
I'll give you this. I live because there's nothing else for me to do. I don't want to die, so I live. Pretty easy, right?
Mona
Ah, so like animals live, then? I'll just leave you alone if that's the case.
AdachiImouto
I'm not going to die, Tatsuya... I have friends to look out for, a love to protect and an Oniichan to live up to. Besides... *She Looks to Tatsuya smirks like a chuunibyo again* I have broken brilliance and the 7 dietys on my side, Brother Tatsuya!
Aitome_Korichi
Sigh... why don't you do something then? Otherwise in my eyes you might as well die, there is no reason for your existence... even now you spending time here is evident your not against giving me the time of your day... perhaps your just feeling bad?
Aitome_Korichi
Ooc: correction!: perhaps your against just feeling bad
Bgammax
*Gamma sighs again, and starts to walk away*
I am doing something. But for now I'm simply waiting on it. In the end everything will be much better for me. This chat was such a lovely waste of my time. Like anyone else, there's nothing better for me to do.
*shrugs*
I may see you again, I may not. Who knows?
Tatsuya
*He laughs along with her for a bit before looking serious* I'm not too worried about you dying... I'd be kinda crushed if you did but. *He looks down* Listen you're really tough Sayaka, it reminds me of well me...

Just because you live through something doesn't mean anyone else does. *His eyes water a bit as he speaks* I really don't want to see you end up like I did... Heh not that I'd wish that on anyone.
Aitome_Korichi
A waste of time hmm? I will continue to question your philosophy, I can tell your outside personality is not how you really feel...

*Aitome then readjustes his mask, before having his thief outfit vanish into the air, smiling

You only have one persona don't you? I remember you only using that dragon during that fight with Wolfy, unless something has changed of course, you dont have a strong will do you? I don't think you ever will, hehehe...

*Aitome then walks away, deep in thought, leaving Gamma with that tidbit
The_Dark_Messiah
OOC:What the hell is going on...? I'd join, but I'm not sure if I can and I'm just confused.
Bgammax
OOC: The show just ended, nothing left to see here.
The_Dark_Messiah
OOC: Ah rip. That's what I get for falling asleep for five hours.
AdachiImouto
*Looks at Tatsuya seriously, nodding her head* I understand that... This is life. People get killed. But... If possible, more than anything else, I want to protect what and who I love... That's why... *She turns to Mona*

If there's anything I can do to help prevent this cataclysm that is coming, let me help. While the Nexus is our home, home isn't where you are... But who you are with wherever you are.

So if I can do something, I will do it.
Tatsuya
*He nods along with Sayaka's words and smiles*
Yeah... It's funny but I think you really do get it Sayaka, I don't want to leave this place but I'd rather do that then let people get hurt... *He turns to the cat and grins* So yeah if she's in I'm in too got that!?
Mona
Thanks, Sayaka. Migrant just didn't understand that. The Nexus was all she knew. The coming days will be filled with stress and anxiety, and all we can do is wait and follow orders. So, i'll do my best to support everyone with any issues and feelings they may have! *Although Mona is greatly distraught with the thought of being used as a support animal*
