Strengthening the deal (Phalanx and Gran-Chan)

"Well... That was easy..." Phalanx said with a slight chuckle. Aether felt much stronger than Neptune, that much was evident. Cassiels blessing had done wonders for him, and his powers. Anyone who dared blocking his path out of this place would face his wrath. "How are you two holding up?" He asked his two companions eventually. Sky had seen better days, but she was slowly regaining her footing... What if he sped up that process a little...?

"Aether? Would you mind?" Phalanx looked at his persona, making a gesture towards Sky.


Aether answered, turning to face Sky. His eyes flashed white for a second as a dim, green light enveloped All three of them... Theda, Phalanx and Sky would feel reinvigorated, and slightly stronger... "Thank you, Aether... now let's move on, Shall we?" Looking ahead, there wasn't a whole lot that stood out from the rest. He'd look out at the sky above them... The grey clouds never seemed to move. Was this place in perpetual darkness? Or was this just a result of the devastation that had occured here? "So... I was thinking... Theda." He looked at her as the three kept on walking. "Do you have any direct plans after we're out of here? Aside from finding information on the other angels?" He just wanted to be sure... She wasn't completely obligated to take his orders as a priority... But he'd apprechiate it. "If I find a persona user to take out... Would you help me with that, should it be necessary...?" Once he got out of there, he would need to find other Persona Users... Take them out, and then focus on the angels. Getting strong enough to face them head on was a priority for him... Theda, on the other hand seemed strong enough on her own. He wasn't going to become a hinderance to her... He wanted to be a strong and dependable leader. And sitting by idly wasn't going to accomplish that, now would it?

He needed to get stronger, for Cassiel's wish. In all honesty, Nyarlathotep and Richard Dorsey, the shadow, could go to hell for all he cared now. He just wanted a world where his kind would be seen as equals to humans. A world where Synthetic life wasn't frowned upon, but rather embraced... And Neither Richard Dorsey or Nyarlathotep offered him that kind of world... Should they try and stop him... Well, he wasn't going to let them do that, now would he?

She felt herself smile as the two personas turned into red fog and faded away, the battle was over and she was starting to feel a bit tired. The light hit her and she didn't really feel a change, but maybe she only needed for a moment. A red fog spiraled down from the tip of her head, once it reached the floor, it would unwind from where it started, slowly revealing her in her tiny form that she had just obtained. She'd shake off her ears a bit, her face not moving much as she blinked. Leaning back, she'd push up on her legs, hopping up onto the robot's shoulder with ease. That was the perk of this new form; she was tiny, fast and lightweight. Those could also be very bad qualities because she could easily get her neck twisted by the robotic boy who she was standing on. From his shoulder, she would jump onto his head, sitting still as she used her paw to point forward. "Onward metal horsey!" She laughed, her lips still not moving as her voice seemed to still come out no matter what. He'd start to talk to her and she'd listen, laughing a bit. 

"I want to go take out other angels so they can't hurt Cassy, or anyone who follows them. I'm sure I won't have a problem doing it, but I am a bit nervous. Plus I've been stalking my prey for awhile, so once I take him out, I'll sure help you with anything else you need. We need to stick together since we're Cassiel's followers." She'd tilt her head, looking back at the other female in the trio. "What about you Sky, what are you going to do?" She looked different, super different. And she seemed to act different too, maybe that Angel changed her a bit too much. "Anyways Phal-Phal, once I finish up with what I want, I will help you with anything you need. That goes for you too Sky." She'd lay down a bit, her tail twitching as she nuzzled into his hair. She found it strange that he had human like hair, and it was so soft. How did he get it to be so soft and feel so nice? Closing her eyes a bit, she'd ride his head like a horse, "I'm super cute like this though, right guys? I mean I'm cute normally but more than usual like this." She started giggle, still laying down on Phalanx head as if it was a comfy bed. Her special skill started to slowly charge up, but she wasn't in any rush.

Heh. So the Shadows went down pretty easily. As she assumed, there was really nothing she had to do in the end. Impressive strength, but it looked like Sky was still way behind the pair. Well at least that battle seemed to do something to her. Her energy seemed to go up and aches seemed to go away as they were healed by some sort of force. Phalanx said they should continue on and so she’d follow along, taking note of the healing the machine performed.

Ah. She felt better than ever and would express it with a light thank you to the machine. She was still feeling light headed as the strange cat rested on her shoulders its tail swishing here and there as it watched the pair ahead. Phalanx seemed to be asking Theda for favors and to be honest Sky didn’t blame him for choosing to work with her over herself. After all, the value difference was indeed great.

In any case, it seemed Theda was all for helping Phalanx as she turned into her small form and offered her assistance to both the machine and herself. When asked what her plans were the girl’s red eyes would lower to the ground as she thought.

“The angels…they have to be eliminated at all cost. While I may be the weakest of us all…” she would look up locking blood red eyes on Theda. “I will rip this world to shreds to see my lady’s wish granted. All help is appreciated,” Sky said as her eyes blazed with determination. She didn’t care what it took. She would see this world end or die trying. As for the last question, Sky would go emotionless for a moment before blinking.

"You'll do," she said a light smirk on her face showing she was playing a bit. Perhaps the blessing had made her lighten up or maybe she was just tired and slipping. Who knew at this point?

Theda jumped off Phal's head, running forward with the burst of speed from her technique. Her little body moved through the dungeon towards the exit. "Alright guys the exit is just ahead! I'll see you guys on the other side, in the meantime I'll scout for other shadows to make sure you guys don't get caught up!" She'd jump a bit, moving quickly while she took in the area a bit. She had been there for awhile but she still hadn't looked at anything or noticed how the place looked at all. Maybe she was just distracted by the light, but she was glad that she had gone. If not, she probably wouldn't be this strong at all. Plus she had joined an angel, which was something she planned on doing, if joining Thesis didn't work out in the end. All she had to do was kill the other angels and she could end the run of humanity and make sure everything worked out in the end. Sure, she had a lot of work ahead of her, and she defiantly wanted to take out people who could stand in her way, but all in due time. First she had to leave this place and go outside, she was feeling tired anyways and needed to rest.

Upon reaching close to the exit, she noticed that there were no shadows present, which was good for the others cause they wouldn't be held up by another pointless battle. Theda knew she could kill any shadows in her way at the moment, but didn't want to risk using up more energy and feeling way more tired than she had to. "Okay guys! Coast is clear! I'll see you on the other side to make sure you get home okay!" She laughed a bit, moving into the block they had entered awhile ago. It was strange, this run seemed to last for a very long time but it had only been at least two hours. It was all just made her want to go to sleep so she'd be ready to track down prey. Though she probably wouldn't be waiting to feel fully rested and start watching her prey as well as she could and then crush them under the ice she can create. The only thing left was to find a stupid persona user and get them into this world to trap them and snap their necks. Looking at the entrance, she'd take a running start, jumping into it and exiting the dungeon.

Actions:

Sky would continue to follow the trio quietly not having much else to say after the brief conversation. As she followed along, her mind would remain in a fog of sleepiness. Perhaps that blessing had taken more out of her than she had thought or perhaps it was simply the battles that had occurred before hand that had done this. Whatever the case was, Sky was moving on auto pilot at this point, her feet carrying her over uneven ground and over broken bodies that may have laid in the path. She moved onward her eyes focused on nothing in particular as her body continued to carry her closer to the exit.

The only time she had responded to anything was when Theda had mentioned they were close to the exit. To these words she would look up quietly to scan the area, seeing that what was being said was indeed true. They were getting close to the exit, so that was a plus, but that did not give her an energy boost or the ability to run to keep up with her fast ally. Still, she would give a light nod before lowering her eyes once more and continuing forward until finally with a sway and shift she was exiting the world and coming back out into the bright light of the other side.

Shielding her eyes, she would pause a moment to let her eyes adjust taking note that the strange fog within only got heavier. She would shake it off as much as she could taking note that her clothing and such had reverted back to normal and her hair was red once more. Was that other form, strictly for the other side then? Was that the result of being blessed?

The red head didn’t know as she looked over at Theda and Phalanx. She would take steady strides towards them before passing by them and taking a few steps forward. She would pause to look around the area for a moment before finally speaking.

“Good job back there. I hope in the future things will continue to go as smoothly as back there; however, for now I think we all should chill and gather our strength. Theda,” she would turn slightly and look over her shoulder locking blue eyes on the girl.

“Let me escort you home in thanks for your help. Where do you live?” she would ask in calm, yet gentle tones. Apparently, she had gained some appreciation for the girl after the event.

Action:

...? Oh... This was a bit unexpected. With a slight sigh, Phalanx walked slowly behind his cohorts... Or former comrades, as it were. Someone spoke to him, cleared his mind of any doubts he may have had... Aether dissapeared from his mind as Neptune returned once again... All he had to do now was getting back safely. After all, things were starting to become a bit shaky over here. The war over in the distance seemed to intensify, but to Phalanx, all the background noise was muffled, as he focused on the last words he had heard from the voice within...

"I know what I must do... She won't give me the world I desire... If I want a world like the one I wish, I have to make it for myself." He said to himself after he saw Sky's boot vanish behind the rift.  Phalanx looked at it, apprehensively. Was that world really what he was after? Or did these alternate realms perhaps hold the key to his success? At least, In Alternate Penecia, He at least didn't have to worry about dealing with SE.RA.PH anymore... But perhaps... A different tone was needed from him... Maybe he shouldn't pursue to end The Shadow of Richard Dorsey's life... But rather join him... It didn't take a genius to see what the guy was planning, now that the voice had made itself known to him. Ah, how things could change so quickly. It was quite exciting, really...

After a couple of minutes, Phalanx walked into the rift in front of him, keeping both Cassiel and her wish forgotten... Now, his blind eyes had finally begun to see... He needed to get to work. And it all started with visiting an old enemy of his. The time had come for him to bury the hatchet, and begin anew... Oh, how he wished things were different. Repairing relations with them was certainly not going to be easy, especially not considering the man in question resided on Rhode Island, miles away from Azores... Oh well, there wasn't much he could about that, except traveling there himself. Phalanx had never been to the Main Headquaters of SE.RA.PH industries before... So perhaps this could do him some good. In the end, he would gain a very powerful ally on his side, if everything went according to plan... He would bring pain and suffering upon all those who would dare oppose him. "Tch... I've had enough of this wretched place... The world is about to change... forever."
