“Tch!” that was the displeased sound that came from Sky as she kept her back turned to the angel. So this one was just going to wipe everyone out and reset the world? She would not even consider her brother as something important to save? What a bunch of bull. Sure, rewriting the world she could stand behind, but this? This little wish was something she was not going to stand for. However, it appeared that Phalanx and Theda were pretty interested in the deal still.

Phalanx said he had nothing to lose and Theda was just prepared either way. All she really wanted to know was if the world’s reforming would be the angel’s alone. To this, Sky responded back in cool tones.

“It probably is up to the angel in the end. If all is wiped out, I am not sure how much of impact one could have on such a Wish,” Sky said calmly to the other still not facing them as she remained ungiving in this game. When the subject of challenging the angel came about, Sky turned slightly to look over her shoulder at the angel.

“Answer the question about the rules of said challenge and I’ll give you my answer,” Sky told the angel keeping her anger well controlled. While it was true Sky felt this alliance with the angel thing was a bit of a betrayal on her allies part, at the same time she understood everyone had differences and honestly, she was here to beat everyone into thinking like she did. No she was here to beat people out of her way to her goal; however, it seemed that neither Theda nor Phalanx wanted to fight her, so that was a plus. Phalanx even said he’d keep up his end of the bargain they had made. That they were not enemies.

The words were nice and all, but Sky needed more proof now more so than before now that this angel alliance had occurred. Still the rebellious woman would remain quiet as she waited for more details before deciding what sort of path she wished to take. Angel or not, a threat was a threat and threats were always eliminated….when they rose against her.

Lust is displeased and is glaring at the party. Seems like something else will need to be done to repair damage caused by this alliance.

"Of course not. Humanity m-must be rebuilt before we talk of the world. Subjects of t-the world are irr-relevant. The world never changes, we Angels are not k-keepers of reality. We watch over Humans, like you. Was that n-not clear? Forgive me..." she said, glaring down towards the ground miserably. Were they to disagree with her, she would understand, but of course, until they came to a true consensus, she could not do anything.

"Why do I get this feeling... That you don't want us here...?" Phalanx said contemplatively. He had sensed something like this since the moment she had spoken up... but maybe he had not realised it back then. "Well, If you don't want us here, then just say so." He shrugged lightly. "I'm not going to attack you for something like that. This is your domain after all, not ours." He might not be the friendliest fellow around the block, but at least Phalanx had dignity, and respect. If she didn't want him there, then he would leave her alone... For now, until their paths would perhaps cross again. Of course, he would wait for the answer, as well as his companion's decisions before doing anything.

Theda smiled a bit as she again continued to listen to everyone speak, waiting for the moment to throw her opinion into the fold. "I understand. But there is one question on my mind, not that the answer would change my mind or anything." Her mind was set, she was ready for this. "It's a reset right? It is possiable that we could end up in the position that we're currently in again? And if so, what if this is just the plan, your wish becomes true and we reset to before? Then we come back to the same outcome over and over again? I don't think that matters, nor does your exact wish. But Humanity is dangerously close to their own end, so why not help them along and show them the end with a hand that isn't as brutal as those of gods." She'd drop bun-bun and watch her fade into nothingness. She had to remember to summon her again so they could have a tea party at home later.

Sky would watch the conversation with narrowed eyes. Listening to what each person had to say before turning away and pondering this situation. On one hand, she was completely against this whole idea if she and her brother was erased too, but on the other she understood the need to wipe everyone out to be able to start over. It was true things could end up in a loop as Theda suggested, but at the same time things could go completely differently too. It was impossible to say where this would go if they restarted. Maybe…in the new world she and her brother would be reborn and this time have a better relationship….There was a possibility to all, but still…was she willing to risk it? Sky would let out a hum of thought before turning to the group once more.

“It is not that misunderstand you, my dear. It’s just…I am having a hard time wrapping my brain about sacrificing all for a reset I won’t be able to see…and yet…” Sky sighed as her folded arms drop to her side. “I suppose Theda and you have a point. Humanity will destroy itself in the end. I guess its best if we wipe them out nicely and clean up with the restart rather than letting them just make a mess of it doing themselves,” Sky’s eyes would flick to Phalanx as he spoke.

To his words she would smirk as she rubbed her head.

“Yeah. I suppose I don’t wanna challenge you after all, either. Sure I don’t agree fully, but you’ve explained yourself well enough. So…I’ll take a chance and join you,” the woman said as she tilted her head at the pretty angel. Yeah she would join and maybe even end her life, but before that happened she wanted to know more about the angel and how it was she came to the conclusion that destroying all and restarting was the only way to win.

"Humans are eliminated. And the new race would begin. They would presumably be n-nothing like you all. Who knows what will happen to the new race. If you don't agree with me, d-do not join. If you falter then you m-may lose what I give you. Do you even have what it takes to serve as the means of your own end?"

"Well, Humanity is pretty much done for anyway... I can clearly tell what happened at Malstu was a far cry from anything you could call "Natural"..." Phalanx sighed deeply. This meant that SE.RA.PH Probably had stopped their search of that island, and were now focusing on the others... "If everything is Indeed erased, then that's at least better than leaving any fragment of the current world behind. A clean slate might be the best way to go..." Phalanx couldn't help but crack a smile.

"At least I don't have to run anymore... That'll be... Nice."

Theda was growing a bit impatient, but she was really unable to show it. Why was it that she had to convince an angel to let her join their cause? It didn't make any sense, and it was kind of counterproductive if you asked her. Either way, she wasn't going to say anything about that. Accepting this Angel was defiantly something she was ready for. "Cassiel, I think we've decided and thought on this long enough. I'm ready to give my life to your cause." She didn't really have a life, but that line sounded so good that she wasn't going to change it. This was going to change her, and she was ready for it. The redemption to her original self was finally going to happen, and it started with this one wish.

Sky would listen to the words spread all around and take note of Phalanx and Theda’s actions. Phalanax seemed slightly hesitant and Theda was still willing to give her heart to the angel for the reset without question. Sky herself would not reveal her feelings on this anymore, her heart became incased in ice as she made her final decision in this game.

Blue eyes would turn to the angel as she questioned them.

“Does anyone have what it takes to do what anyone asks?” she asked the angel and then shaking her head a smirk would form. “I suppose the only way to answer that is to take a chance with us. I think we’re pretty settled, so the ball is in your court now. Will accept this strange group before ya or will you deny us?”

"S-So it goes..." She said, holding her arm up, which conjured a column of light to appear once more, which then extended to the groups, granting them a new aura, and also a cold sensation, as though they could feel their corpse right under their bodies beginning to surface. So this is what death might have felt like. In that death was a new power that they received.

Everyone Receives:

"Interesting..." Phalanx felt reborn, his old shackles to SE.RA.PH completely removed. The logotypes found on both his soulbound weapon, and on the back of his neck vanished without a trace. "Well then, Cassiel. We'll make sure your wish comes true. I suppose our next step would be hunting down the other angels, huh?" A cocky smirk made it's way upon his lips as he summoned his reformed persona.

-We're glad to be of service, Angel Cassiel. Your trust in us is not misplaced, that much I can assure you with confidence.-

Tainted Aether knelt beside Phalanx, like a knight bowing before their king. Phalanx of course did the same, stabbing his Lance into the ground as well. "May this new dawn of planet earth be a better one than this."

"You guys ready? There's not turning back once we're there. I mean I know we're all ready to accept the blessing butttt.... Ehh, never mind let's roll with this. I'm ready." Theda felt herself smile when she realized the entire team was standing together, joining one angel instead of turning against each other. It made her happy to know what they were all going to stand together through this and work to fight for a common goal. All that was left was to wait for Cassiel to give them the blessing. She took a moment to speak, but when she did, she was pretty brief. This was it, they were about to accept their new power, and fight on with this angel. She'd raise her hand up, summoning Bun-bun as she quickly pulled out Momo, holding them both in her hand as the light appeared again. It was beautiful, and stretched up all the way to the sky. It expanded farther, as she started to feel a surge of power that she had never felt in her entire existence. She felt herself turn into her true self, but it wasn't of her own choice. At the same time, she could feel the creepy hand of death just barely touching her. Maybe this is what original Theda felt when she had passed away.

"H-Huh?!" She watched the fog fade off her hands as, revealing her own again. What could this mean? Had she lost her true self entirely or was this just a part of the process. Without having any time to process it all, she turned when she felt two hands placed on both of her shoulders. She would turn around to find two child like characters smiling at her. "Oh! Hello There Miss. Usagi!" Monokuma and Monomi both seemed to only speak once at a time, which caused was causing them to create the sentence as one entity. They both appeared to be like Momo and Bun-bun, but what the hell was their purpose? The light faded as she noticed that she had not moved at all, and she was still in the same place. She didn't feel different at all, maybe it was just something that she wouldn't be able to feel but experience. "Do you guys feel any... Different?" She'd place the bear back into her bag, throwing bun-bun aside as she vanished. She'd think about those two look a likes, and how pretty they both were. This prompted her to indirectly call upon them, causing them to appear out of a red like fog. She'd jump a bit as they vanished back into a red fog. "No way!" She'd call forth her true self, a red fog appearing at her head as it spiraled down her towards the ground.

The fog continued to move down to the floor as it revealed Theda in the tiny cat form that was now her true self. Shaking a bit, she'd try to get a feel for the new body she had retained. She tried to smile, but the face was already smiling and wouldn't even allow her to change the facial expression. "Guys look at this!" The mouth didn't move as she ran in circles around the angel, laughing gleefully. "Do I look as cute as I feel right now? Telll me I dooo~" She'd laugh again, moving away from the angel as she attempted to turn into her normal self. A red fog spiraled up again, at just the height and width of her body, to which she would be left when it fell back to the floor and dissipated. "I can already feel stronger. It feels like super weird." Smiling, she'd look towards the angel, using one of her nice tones. "So now we like, push other angel's wishes out of the way to make yours come true right?" Easy enough really, especially if they all worked together.

So it would appear that the angel decided to take a gamble with them after all. As the angel lifted her arms a new pillar of light would appear, blinding at first and then painful the next as it extended outward and pierced Sky. When the light entered her body, intense heat and power filled her up to the point that her normal body couldn’t handle it and in turn began to gag and drown in the light. She watched as her old self fell to the ground and lay lifelessly before her…and yet she was not dead. Her physical form was gone, but her spirit remained become one with the light as it embraced the lifelessness it was offered. There was something freeing about this. Something exciting and then just like that the moment ended and reality came back.

Slowly, Sky felt the hard ground under her and felt the pricks of the temperature of the room as her blue eyes seemed to stare blankly ahead for a moment as her black hair became snow white and with a blink her blue eyes became crimson. Sky did not move until she felt the warmth of something small upon her shoulder gently rubbing soft fur against her cheek. Blinking again she turned to look at the thing finding a white cat tainted slightly purple sitting on her shoulder looking up at her with large pure pink eyes. The cat let out a small mew as it hopped from her shoulder and into her lap before curling into a small ball in its new place. As it began to doze, the small glitter of its black collar would hit the light. This cat….it had appeared out of no where, but to Sky it was as if it had always been there.

“Khalida,” she whispered as she automatically began petting the cat as her mind filtered in the other voices around her. It seemed that the two talking were making a plan. A plan she somehow agreeed with.

“Mmm…Yes…We must find the other angels,” Sky said in a trance like voice as she continued to sit on the floor and pet the cat for now.

"Well... I suppose we should take our leave then... We'll keep in touch with you, Cassiel..." Now he had yet another purpose as an Anti-shadow Suppression weapon, serving under Cassiel. He turned his amber gaze towards the way they had come from, before turning back to Cassiel. "When we're ready to take on another Angel, I'll contact you, alright?" He had this feeling that this new bond that he had forged with Cassiel allowed him to communicate with her anywhere he wanted. Perhaps she could give him clues as to where he would find the other angels... But for now, all that he wanted now was getting back in one piece. "Let's get going. We have work to do."

Phalanx gave Cassiel one last glance before starting to backtrack from the way which he came... A long walk, yes... This expedition turned out to be more fruitful than what he had expected. Finding an angel here, just like that was... Well... Not expected. Now, he had a new role to fill... A role which he would surely relish. Aether walked beside Phalanx, looking around the area as they walked with the others. "Looks like we have a new job ahead of us... Mind doing some research on where we can find these other angels? Theda... You're quite familiar with these worlds, no? I'd apprechiate it if you could get some information about the other angels before we strike... And..." Aether looked at Phalanx with a glint in his eye. "Meanwhile, I suppose both me and Sky should get the preparations ready. Getting strong enough to handle an angel. Because I doubt they will be anything like the shadows we've faced thus far..." Well... He should maybe start heeding the words of the one who had given him his persona in the first place... Theda had mentioned him at a prior meeting. Maybe he should get himself involved in the war finally... With a new persona and new powers, Phalanx felt confident that this was something he could definetely do. For once, things finally started looking up for the rogue android. SE.RA.PH he would eventually need to deal with as well... That was, unless Cassiel's Wish did that for him. // Richard Dorsey... I'm coming to get you. // He thought as he moved through the debris and rubble, making sure that his comrades were indeed following him. The Liberators were now on the move... Surely, this could only mean bad things for Azores. But in the long run, it was for the better of the world. Humanity as it was now... was shit anyway.

How far he had gotten since Phalanx had crash-landed on Standasen all those months ago... Was it just a mere coincidence, or were there some bigger forces at work here? Was this really how things were meant to go?

"Bye Cassiel, I'll come hang out with you real soon!" She stepped out of the block with her allies, listening to them, but slowly falling behind. She used her little technique, feeling the speed boost build up a bit as she continued to follow behind them. "Yeah, I know these places pretty well, but I rarely run into any angels, and I usually avoid them because they're scary. But I can try to help the best I can!" She smiled, nodding to him. "You guys go on ahead, I'll be there in a second."
