Depths of Dimensions/Part 2J (Camalire)

Back to Part 1J.
==Part 3: God Save the Queen==
A little bit outside civilization on this planet, there was a forest. The trees were numerous, but other than that, it didn't look like there was anything all too spectacular.... but the shock to its temporary visitors would likely be more than enough to confuse them. This group was brought by Kennedy's Chaos Control, so they wouldn't fall out of the air; they'd all already be on their feet. This group included the lot of Kennedy, Ishvati, Marcee, Chase, and Jim.
Kennedy sighed, having warped them all there, and then turned around. He looked at Marcee, who'd been roughed up pretty badly by Locar in the same village he was in. Blast it... I may have been able to distribute the teleporters, but everyone else had to buy enough time... and then she showed up... Kennedy shook his head. No. Now is no time to dwell on the past. First, I'll wait for the others to come to their senses. The first teleportation through dimensions is quite staggering on the mind, after all.
Despite some severe injuries, Ishvy was the first to come too; though He basically plopped his butt on the grass the moment he arrived. Staring up into the sky he took a moment to feel the breeze, before starting to laugh. “... Hah..! Hahahahaa! I told that BITCH she’d have to start liquefying organs.. Hahahahahaaaa I am in a lot of pain.” He couldn’t even laugh without clutching his most likely broken nose and ribs.
Marcee was still wrapped in the golden snake Locar had created, and was only just beginning to regain consciousness.
Now that Ishvy was conscious, next came the removal of the snake Locar created. It had returned to being an inanimate object now that the scripts powering its function were rendered null. So removing it was as easy as injecting new scripts into the snake and watching as the gold molecules were injected with so much solar energy that the gold itself straight up evaporated like it was water. The process was quick, fast enough that Marcee would only suffer very light burns. However Ishvy would soon turn his head away and vomit up the contents of his stomach mixed with a copious amount of blood and bile.
Marcee stood up slowly, too groggy to notice Ishvy expelling his bodily fluids.
”Where...are we?” She asked.
“Eeughh... You-you were in way more trouble then I thought, hopefully there something around here that can patch everyone up.“ Chase spoke up, still getting his bearings after the surprise teleportation.
“That would be nice, what would also be nice is water.” Ishvy practically mumbled, now that he was finished blowing chunks he would force himself to stand up while ignoring the wobbling and the dizziness and the urge to hurl again. Honestly the poor not Mobian looked dead on his feet. The shaking and whispering certainly didn’t help much either.
Kennedy turned to Chase. "You look very damaged also... what was going on where you were? As I recall, Luna was only in the village with us. Was there a rogue group causing a ruckus, or something like that?"
”oh um no it’s just some electrical burns nothing to worry about Compared our friends here. But yes we did fight a rogues gallery of some sort at a bank, they were aligned with Luna. We were handling It pretty well so I left to Check out these giant explosions that were coming from that mansion we were all started at and then a flash happened and Here we are.” Chase explained. 
“It’s so nice to know we weren’t the only ones to get manhandled by those guys.. What a pain.” Ishvy mumbled, spinning on the back of his heel and pacing around in a sort of wobbly circle.
"Hm... I don't remember giving any of you a Realmmobile." Kennedy sighed. "You see, I myself can teleport through Zones if I'm locked onto a specific power source... and by cross-referencing Katastrophe's signatures, I was able to get us to where its opposite's, the Oracle Stone, was. However..." Kennedy folded his arms. "The Realmmobile has the ability to track the object we're looking for. My sensing range isn't as large. Unless any of you have any special tracking abilities?"
Marcee shrugged "Not gonna lie, I didn't understand half the things you said."
”I.. Uhhh, tracking huh.. I can track thermal signatures, but I’m not sure if that counts as special.” Ishvy mumbled, mussing up the mop he called hair. “But.. Any of you guys have any sort of water to drink?”
"I- uh.... hm..." Kennedy thought of a way to explain it to Marcee. "Ugh, I'll explain it to you once I know where exactly we are. First and foremost, I advise leaving this forest. Hopefully there is some kind of civilization in this Zone." With that, Kennedy began to lightly levitate on the ground. "If there is, water should be the least of our current issues." Then, he began to fly through the forest, slow enough for the others to catch up.
”Would either of you like some help walking out of here?” Chase asked, pointing to Ishvy and Marcee.
”Nah,“ Marcee said, walking alongside Ken “I can get out of here myself.”
Kennedy, flying slowly next to Marcee, turned his head to her. "So... I noticed it wasn't Luna herself who took you out. So that I may know what other powerful allies she has, what did your opponent look like?"
"I dunno," Marcee shrugged "I was a too busy with the...snakes."
Under normal circumstances, Ishvy would probably shake his head no and force himself to keep pace with the others without any sort of complaint. As it was, circumstances were not normal. So with immense reluctance he swallowed his stubbornness and slooowly nodded his head yes. “I’d.. Like a bit of help.” The way he spoke made it sound like it physically hurt to say those words.
Kennedy frowned. "That's worrisome. I have no knowledge of any snake-like enemies who'd be enough of a threat to endanger our mission." He then gave Marcee a hopeful smile. "Thank you for stalling for Schnee and I."
”it’ll be ok.” Chase said as he helped Ishvy up acting as his living clutch. As the two began to get the rhythm Ishvy overheard the others talking about the enemy that incapacitated Marcee, so he spoke up. “His name is Locar, he’s.. Uhh.. Well, my personal problem; he’s a Prismite, but the fact that he hasn’t done anything large scale means he is missing Apepha or following the rabbit’s orders.”
"What's a Prismite?" Marcee asked "I-Is it a snake?"
”Uhhh.. No, A Prismite is.. How do I best put it.. A Crystialgan who is capable of manipulating Prismions into sort of physical forms based on their Precepts.” Ishvy started to explain, though he had to take multiple pauses in order to find the right way to explain certain parts because.. Well, there was a lot that he didn’t know himself. “The Snakes..? They weren’t real snakes, they were animated constructs made of gold. I don’t know how many Precepts a Prismite can have; but Locar sort of.. What’s the word.. Uhhh, he’s sort of better than me..? No, that’s not the word.. At a later stage..? Yeah, that’s right.. Uhh, sorry if I can’t explain it all that well. It’s more complicated than hitting things until they stop moving.”
”Don’t worry, I’ve got it,” Marcee replied, with a face that clearly indicated she didn’t understand.
Ishvy just stared at Marcee, before opting to nod his head and keep his silence. But not before offering a consolation. “If it helps, I don’t understand much of it and I’m a Prismite, not like he doesn’t loophole his way around the established ’limitations’ of Prismites.. Maybe I should have paid more attention when Ranny spoke.“ After a few moments of deliberation, he shook his head no. “No, no no and certainly no.”
"A..." Kennedy looked blankly at Ishvy. "'Prismite,' you said?"
”Yep.” Ishvy nodded his head in confirmation. “A Prismite.”
"I think I've heard the term before in my travels, but frankly..." Kennedy scratched the back of his head. "I'm not exactly sure what a Prismite is. Are they types of crystal manipulators?"
”Every Prismite’s abilities are as unique as the Prismite themself, so there could be a Prismite who manipulates crystals.” Ishvy answered, holding his hand out and fighting off a wave of pain as he materialized what appeared to be a cutlass with a yellowish translucent blade and what appeared to be a sparsely decorated hilt and handle wrapped with some form of metasomic cloth. “It is more like a miracle really, among other things, Prismites can materialize part of their Facet in the form of weapons and armor.“
”We can also create and manipulate physical, and sometimes metaphysical, phenomena according to our precepts.. In my case, light and energy from the sun.” Ishvy would then disperse the cutlass, only to focus on bringing about a series of three yellow concentric rings in his left hand; Prismions rushing towards what appeared to be a golden circle that produced a spherical disc made of pure, solid light. In his right hand, those same circles took on a more fiery colouration as what appeared to be a small, barely flickering flame made entirely of solar energy materialized in his right hand. Ishvy would show these for the group to see for all of five seconds before dispersing the constructs and gritting his teeth at the oncoming headache.
"Ah... so these are the replacements for Chaos and life force energy where you come from?" Kennedy scratched his chin. "Yes, it appears our worlds are quite different after all. Though light manipulation sounds like a very helpful ability indeed." He paused, thinking about what to say next. "What exactly are a Prismite's weaknesses? Do they have a pool they take from, or is their own energy depleted as they fight with their abilities?"
"I guess they are.." Ishvy would shrug, tapping his chin for a moment as if trying to find the right words to answer Kennedy's next set of questions. "Hmm.. It's not an energy pool, nor is it a physical stamina issue.. There is something that is called a Prismion Count; it's.. Sort of like a hard cap on how much of our abilities we can use without rest, if we exceed that count I think we start to overtax ourselves physically and spiritually. Something else happens but I'm not too sure about that. What I do know is that the signs of one starting to reach the limit of their Prismion count aren't really obvious. Though I guess sensing this life force might lead to a clue."
"Interesting..." Kennedy paused. "Now that I think about it, I don't know how all of your abilities work," Kennedy noticed, turning to Marcee and Chase. "If we're going to work together, perhaps you should inform me of how exactly you two battle. That way, strategies will be most effective if we get caught up in a bout ourselves."
"I just flip and jump and punch everything I can!" Marcee replied "I don't need superpowers to kick ass!"
"Much like Terra, then," Kennedy said to himself before smiling. "That's extremely helpful. And you, Chase?"
”Well beyond the basic punch,kick claws, and throwing rocks” Chase began. “ I have trained to be able to harness the electricity around me, from the static I build moving, to the atmosphere, and even wiring or enemy attacks to at least some extent. I can use what I have stored to increase my speed, and make my physical attacks more damaging, and even discharge it all at once if I have to. “ The Wolf continued. 
”But what I am really good at is advanced ring energy manipulation. I can convert it into offensive energy bursts, and bind my opponent’s by using their own rings against them.” Chase finished with a bit of glee.
”... Could you elaborate more on this ‘ring energy’..?” Ishvy asked, by the way he tilted his head he didn’t seem to have any clue what ring energy was. “As a matter of fact, what do you mean by rings? Surely you can’t mean the foppish bands worn by those who are wealthy enough to have them studded with precious gems and forged of precious metals.. Right?”
”Man it’s weird to think that someone wouldn’t know, but with how little of it I have sensed since being thrown out of my world I guess it makes sense. “ Chase said. The wolf then placed his left hand out for all to see, and on his palm a black circle began to glow gold and spark with energy, that began to solidify into a golden ornamentless ring The size of his Palm. ” On my world, an energy flows though out it, and when enough of it condenses together it forms a solid ring like this. “ Chase explained as he formed the ring in his hand. 
”In ancient times it was believed to be actual gold and still works as secondary currency, but to fast forward nowadays its main uses are a power source for machinery.” Chase continued, as he began to spin the ring around his finger. 
“But for the more adventurous these rings, this energy can be absorbed into your own being to help boost your defense. But I and very few others have found even more advanced ways to use it as I mentioned earlier.“ Chase finished. “I can do a demonstration if anyone is willing?”
Marcee nodded, interested to see how basic currency in her word could give superpowers in another.
"I'd love to see this otherworldly ability of yours!" Kennedy answered with a smile. "Throughout my travels through the Zones, I haven't yet encountered this kind of energy."
”Huh.. Interesting, go ahead and show us If you would.” Ishvy nodded, maintaining a passive expression that did absolutely nothing to hide the fact that he was curious about how Chase’s powers worked. It was all in the eyebrows after all.
”Alright, so due to being on short supply the best move to use would be my binding technique, plus it’s probably more interesting then an energy blast anyway.” Chase began. “ So I would need a volunteer to take some rings, like you perhaps.” Chase said as he pointed the ring towards Kennedy.
"I'm willing to help," Kennedy offered.
”wait really, Cool, ok so take these.” Chase said as he was focusing the golden energy into his free hand, sculpting the power into four more solid rings. “ From what I have seen you know a thing or two about Chaos energy and if it‘s anything like the Chaos energy back home, rings shouldn’t be too difficult for you either.” Chase finished as he held out the now five completed rings, ready to be taken.
Ishvy just continued to watch, admittedly just a little impatient judging by the pacing around but he was stir crazy and restless. Couldn’t quite help it really. Marcee is still intently interested in everyone's superpowers.
