Party at Mambi's realm, all are invited!

[Universe]

"Welcome to every interaction with the Wasat Prisma. Their religion is.... old, shall we say."

"I believe it is over 100 realities old, and from an all-dragon reality. We're long overdue to help them update their scripture."

"Though we will deal with that part ourselves."

"I believe their egg ritual is something they learned directly from you, Solaris."

"We're getting off track. Ask Solaris the question again."

Dragon: "The prince of our servitor race, Oliver... we have to use a containment ritual and alter his body in some fashion if he is to survive learning elements directly from the celestial dragons. I asked about what body you think is fitting for him."

"Tell Solaris the options."

Dragon: "If we simply use the Wasat Prisma's magic after containing him, he'll turn into a proper halfblood. Half kobold, half Wasat Prisma. He will still be limited in how many elements he can master, but he'll be able to handle elements of any strength. And he'll still be the kobolds' crown prince."

"Go on."

Dragon: "Alternatively, you can have the Dragon Gods - or, as I believe you and the others called them, the Architects - alter his body. He won't be a kobold anymore in that case - he'll become one of us Wasat Prisma in full, and there will be no limit to his elemental mastery."

"....you had a third option...."

Dragon: "It's unlikely, but Solaris... you have the option of personally intervening in the ritual. He will no longer have a connection to the Wasat Prisma at that point, though, and he may lose his memories of us. That's because you'd directly be turning him into a celestial dragon."

"So.... what do you think, Solaris?"

“so he won’t remember meeting me at all there’s gotta be another way” *He had a thousand yard stare* “Nova you can’t keep destroying all your life you have to create at some point In your life” *Solaris has tears of sunlight in his eyes*

 

[Universe]

“I-I remember now the red and gold dragon’s name Nova it was Nova”

 

[Firuthi Dragovic]

“so he won’t remember meeting me at all there’s gotta be another way” *He had a thousand yard stare* “Nova you can’t keep destroying all your life you have to create at some point In your life” *Solaris has tears of sunlight in his eyes*

Dragon: "Wait, what did I say?"

"You said, 'may lose his memories of us'."

Dragon: "What I meant to say, Solaris, is that he may lose his memories of the Wasat Prisma. You'd be intervening, so he'd remember you."

"Does it help you with your decision?"

“I-I remember now the red and gold dragon’s name Nova it was Nova”

"Thank you. That's a start."

"When we have a moment, we'll meditate and see if we can recall a dragon named Nova."

"I hope Oliver gets back from whatever trip he took soon."

----------------------------------
On the Universe-7...

“I have no idea who that is”

"I know the Wasat Prisma and the Proxima Celestials can survive outer space... but there are more?"

Oliver gazed in wonder. This sleeping dragon was a type he'd never seen before.

"Do you feel any strange energy coming off of it? This may be what we came out here to find."

Oliver continued to stare at the strange sleeping dragon.

He felt a nervous twitch, staring at such a grand creature from outside the known universe.

 

[Baron Tredegar]

"!!!"

You'd think the dragon god of gates and barriers would have defenses against every single possible type of mental attack. Technically, he did. Problem was, he couldn't maintain all of them at once and still have energy to do anything. He had to predict what he would encounter. And having lived for countless realities... meant countless threats to defend against.

It most likely wasn't so much having never encountered the threat period... as it was the threat being so old he straight-up couldn't find it in his memory even if he tried. The defense had to be buried deep... somewhere...

Aeternus kept trying mental defense after mental defense, hoping against hope he could find the one buried deep within his psyche that could repel this attack.

The fact he had that many defenses to throw at the presence, plus literally billions of centuries of memories to sift through and the fact there was no inner darkness to clutch on to, would probably signal to the presence just what Aeternus was in the first place.

The presence kept scanning and reading your memories and from his pained look you could tell it was doing the same to Ahrakas. The presence went through your memories at the speed of lightning. The memories of billions of realties were read in seconds.
Now, I will show you why I am the most powerful practitioner of psychokinesis and telepathy in all realities.
Suddenly, as fast as it came the presence came it left. In the back of the room a figure wearing an all black outfit and a gasmask shimmered into view in the back of the room.
No, there's no need for words, Aeternus and Ahrakas. I am PSYCHO MANTIS! That's right, this is no trick. It is TRUE POWER!

*I teleported in glowing with pure light* “true power don’t make me laugh I am the god of truth and light and you are no match for me”

Aeternus breathed a sigh of relief when the presence left. Having to face down something that could slice into his memories that fast was... certainly a new experience. He briefly put a mental feeler in Ahrakas' mind.

"He managed to get through my defenses, even. I'm kind of insulted."

Aeternus got out of Ahrakas' mind and then decided to dispense with the words, to see if the new figure was still reading his mind.

"If you're truly as good as you say, and-"

*I teleported in glowing with pure light* “true power don’t make me laugh I am the god of truth and light and you are no match for me”

"What the- how did you know where we went?!?"

Aeternus shuddered at Universe's sudden appearance. This kid was something else.

"He managed to slice through my mental defenses and they're some of the best in the pantheon. Watch it."

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

On board the Universe-7, Oliver looked at Alpha.

"Where did he go off to now? You can pilot this alone, right? Or shall I assist?"

"Where did he go off to now? You can pilot this alone, right? Or shall I assist?"

“I am an artificial intelligence I have been operating this for centuries” “he can’t touch me if he touches me he has to deal with my dad and destroyer uncle”

 

[Universe]

“I’m an open book I can’t lie remember?”

 

[Firuthi Dragovic]

“I’m an open book I can’t lie remember?”

An idea suddenly came to mind. If the presence was gone, and Universe arrived AFTER it left...

It was terrible, possibly suicidal even for a dragon god.

"Ahrakas, strike while the iron is hot."

Aeternus opened one small portal to his right side, and eight small portals around and somewhat above Psycho Mantis.

"Which one will I shoot from?"

He fired his sidearm - actually shooting a blue sapphire blast - through the portal on his side. He didn't reveal which one of the eight portals was the real one from which the blast would emerge. If this guy was actually as psychically strong as he claimed, he'd know regardless.

 

[Universe]

*I was still glowing*

 

[Firuthi Dragovic]

“I am an artificial intelligence I have been operating this for centuries”

"While we're waiting for Universe to come back from wherever he teleported this time..."

Oliver pondered for a second.

"There a scanner on this vessel that could give us a clue what that sleeping dragon is?"

 

[Baron Tredegar]

*I teleported in glowing with pure light* “true power don’t make me laugh I am the god of truth and light and you are no match for me”

“I’m an open book I can’t lie remember?”

*I was still glowing*

Suddenly you felt paralyzed as a presence went into your mind and began reading all your memories. In mere seconds he read all your memories and left your mind.
Yes, you are the one my master wanted and you arrived into my trap just as we predicted. With my psychokinetic power you shall be held in suspended animation until Khamul arrives for you.

Ahrakas nodded and when the moment came he fired his disrupter rifle on full automatic towards the portal. The shots went through the portal towards his head but suddenly they stopped and hovered above him like a terrifying halo.
YOU! YOU DOUBT MY POWER!?
I AM THE AMALGAMATION OF ALL VERSIONS OF MYSELF! YOU ARE POWERLESS BEFORE ME! NOT EVEN CHANGING THE CONTROLLER PORT CAN SAVE YOU DUE TO THIS BEING A TEXT BASED COMPUTER ROLEPLAY!
You still don't believe me? I will show you my psychokinetic power.
Put your computer on the floor. Put it down as flat as you can... thats good.
Now I will move your computer BY THE POWER OF MY WILL ALONE!
However a moment later he screamed in pain and anger.
WHAT?! I CANT VIBRATE YOUR COMPUTER? MY POWERS... THEY ARE TOO WEAK TO AFFECT THE REAL WORLD!
He began writhing in pain and anger as he tried to cope with whatever his failure was, he was clearly straining as he momentarily struggled to keep the laser bolts above him and Universe suspended.
Ahrakas mentally reached out to you. I have no idea what he is going on about but I think this might be our only opportunity to get him.

Ahrakas mentally reached out to you. I have no idea what he is going on about but I think this might be our only opportunity to get him.

"Understood. Be warned, I have no intention of letting this guy or any of Khamul's agents live."

Aeternus summoned three force walls. One below Psycho Mantis, one above, and one behind him. The one behind was actually irrelevant - the one below pushed Psycho Mantis into the halo of laser and force bolts.

Only after that point would the one above come into play - the intention being to ram the above and below walls together to squash Psycho Mantis like a melted marshmallow in a s'more. At any point in this, the arrangement would allow Ahrakas an opportunity to fire at Psycho Mantis.

"Now I remember... we faced something like this fourteen thousand and ninety-six realities ago. It was also the very last time we had a reality that didn't have some form of the Temporal Lords to protect it - we'd had realities with extra protectors before that point, but that one was an experiment to see if they were still necessary. That reality was why we're so adamant about having a religion built around the Architects. I will be very worried if they managed to resurrect Vulcan Raven or Shagohod, the two most threatening minions from that time - we actually lost a dragon god to each of them and I have no idea how we replaced them in the pantheon. The replacement gods and the newly-reformed equivalent of the Temporal Lords - I don't remember what we called them then so I'll just call them the Mavericks - were critical to slaying those enemies. I... don't believe Universe is old enough to have been around for that reality."

*I glowed brighter* “I am not going to help you GET OUT OF MY HEAD”

Meanwhile, back at the party space....

“so he won’t remember meeting me at all there’s gotta be another way” *He had a thousand yard stare* “Nova you can’t keep destroying all your life you have to create at some point In your life” *Solaris has tears of sunlight in his eyes*

Dragon: "Wait, what did I say?"

"You said, 'may lose his memories of us'."

Dragon: "What I meant to say, Solaris, is that he may lose his memories of the Wasat Prisma. You'd be intervening, so he'd remember you."

"Does it help you with your decision?"

"Thank you. That's a start."

"When we have a moment, we'll meditate and see if we can recall a dragon named Nova."

"I hope Oliver gets back from whatever trip he took soon."

".....I have an idea, Solaris, if you're still considering turning Oliver into a celestial dragon."

"Kurt... are you sure?"

"There's a particular type of quartz crystal on Thulcan-7 that is almost like a highly magical battery. It can store and release magical energy... and it turns out it can also store and release memories. They go from red all the way up to violet... we won't need the violet crystal, we only need a green one or better."

"But how would we get one of these?"

"Dad carries a few such crystals in his bag, dunno what colors... or we can ask Thulcan's Temporal Lord."

"He's still off training his abilities, Kurt. We won't be able to reach him."

"I've actually got Dad's bag here... this compartment's got a lot of crystals and gems of different types."

"Hold up, Kurt, how do we use it?"

"Simple - we unleash its energy during the containment ritual. It will enhance the containment egg."

Fabiana held out the bag to Solaris.

"He's got so many different gems of all colors in here that I can't tell what one's the one we need. Can you help?"

“ok as long as you promise me to stop nova.”

 

[Firuthi Dragovic]

“ok as long as you promise me to stop nova.”

The Wasat Prisma dragon on the other line nodded.

Dragon: "Then that is our deal. We and the kobolds."

"We're here to maintain the Wheel, that means stopping all threats to it."

"Stop Nova, got it."

"We'll do it."

"One more threat to the Wheel to stop, on the ever-growing list."

"It's not internal wars anymore, it's genuine threats to existence. I'm in agreement."

"When Oliver returns from wherever he went, we explain the scenario to him."

"In the meantime... which one is the crystal we're after?"

 

[Baron Tredegar]

As you close the portals on him he tried one last trick to reassert power.
It's useless. I told you... I can read your every thought. Now... let me read your mind. No... perhaps I should say your past. You look on Furaffinity forums, yes? You like the roleplay subsection? "Party at Mambis Realm specifically?"
I... I cant read any further! I AM TOO WEAK!
Ahrakas began firing his disrupter rifle at him as Psycho Mantis began losing control, his grip on Universe broke. The portals closed and he gave a final shriek of agony as he fell to the ground.
Ahrakas breathed a sigh of relief. I dont really have any idea what that guy was talking about, he did dredge up some very unpleasant memories I have tried to keep repressed though. Lets find out what are on these computers and see what him and Nataraja were so adamant on hiding.

"Yeah... you and me both on the unpleasant memories. Once we're done here, we're going to want to suspend any further planet-hopping as I plan to meditate and see if I can't ascertain the identity of whoever sent him...."

Aeternus sighed.

"....if this is related to the burning eye guy, we have major issues. You'd been at the party longer than me... do you know any good meditation spots?"

He then addressed Universe.

"As for you, nephew... you may not want to charge into situations unannounced any more. Whoever our big attacker is has still not gotten over their desire to control you, and it's likely they'd try to put new bloodlust in you to replace whatever Zadkiel helped you purge. Also... I get the feeling you bailed on someone to try and save us."

You were all able to get a good look at the control room for the first time. Rows of computer desks lined the room and a central command console stood at the center. A massive window was at the end of the room and it gave a perfect view of Formosa. The observatory might be a good place to meditate. Ahrakas began walking over to the central console and began looking through it.
Disable planetary hologram? He stared in curiosity at the prompt on the computer and cautiously pressed it. Suddenly the image of Flauros shimmered away an instead of the image of a clean and pristine world being displayed, only a charred out husk of a burning and dying world remained.

Somehow, Aeternus knew this was the only way it could be for Formosa. A pyromaniac like Flauros? Nataraja claiming that the space station was a front? And then what they just fought? There was no way Formosa could be anything but a ruined realm.

"Find out the final moments of this realm or any weapons that could have spread this much destruction, if any of the consoles have that information."

He then sent a telepathic message to Solaris and the Architects.

"I bring... terrible news. Formosa is little more than a destroyed husk. And... someone was waiting for us. Beings we had thought we killed, fourteen thousand and ninety six realities ago, in that reality without guardians. Psycho Mantis was the one we fought... we may see Vulcan Raven and Shagohod again. Solaris... it seems we are going to get dragged into a war again. We need to keep innocents out of it. I will be meditating in the observatory when this is over... I will let you know if I find out anything."

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

As might be expected of little kids, the Architects collapsed into tears the moment Aeternus' message reached them.

"We're too late again..."

"....curse Flauros and curse whoever puppeteered him!"

Ahrakas tapped at the computer, I find no record of its final moments, however there appears to still be a population of 2,000 still living there. It seems that Shagohod and the "hellfire bomb" did this. I cant find any more info, the files have been wiped.
You suddenly heard a ragged breath in the back of the room.
To get to Shagohods underground maintenance base... you have to go through that hidden door. There's a hidden door behind the bookcase.

"There appear to be survivors in Formosa... we have a hope of rebuilding that realm at least. Unfortunately, Shagohod lives. We may be away a while longer."

He looked to Ahrakas.

"I leave this up to you... whether we investigate Shagohod now... or try to alert your intelligence people of the situation."

Then he addressed the survivor(?) in the back of the room.

"Thank you. Did you see... what happened here before we arrived?"

“NO NO NO NOT MY HARD WORK”

 

[Firuthi Dragovic]

“NO NO NO NOT MY HARD WORK”

Dragon: "I.... am sorry. I don't know what else to say."

The Architects, still crying, hugged Solaris.

"We need some time, Mr. Wasat Prisma guy. We'll do what we can about Oliver, we just need some time right now."

The call with the Wasat Prisma dragon ended.
