Centennials 3/Story

The story mode of Centennials 3
== Chapter 1==
The sun covers the guild in a white glow, it is early in the morning, and the members are ready for another round of training, steeling themselves to spar again.   A group of soldiers are gathered in the back.
Falconer: Ok, Husk?, Zaylee and Juni, what will be our game plan today?
Zaylee: I think we should entrench ourselves, and then charge.
Juni: I agree, we could do a lot of damage if we catch them by surprise.
Husk?: I could also go around.
Falconer: Hey ____, that’s a great idea, I think they won’t see you
Juni: So it’s agreed, _____ will go around
Zaylee: Yeah and….
Suddenly the area gets incredibly foggy, Husk’s vision obscures and he can barely see…
Atoll?: Husk...Husk…
The Voice calls again
Atoll?: Husk...Wake Up.
The Present Day
Husk wakes up from his small sleep in a jolt, looking up from the Inn they were in.
Atoll: Gladian is getting ready to go leave, if you want something to eat, someone died on the way in.
Husk: No...thanks..
Atoll: Huh, I thought you liked eating that stuff…
Husk’s Crest begins glowing for a bit.
Atoll: How odd, well, I guess you should wait till we get back to the Guild to eat then.
Husk: Ohk…
Husk and Atoll step outside where Gladian is waiting 
Gladian: Oh, hey Husk, I see you finally woke up?
Husk: Where are we?
Atoll: The Dragonspit Inn, members of the guild came here all the time..
Gladian: Remember, he lost his memories
Husk: I lost…
Atoll: Is he gonna be ok?
Gladian: I think so.
Husk: …..
Suddenly, low cloud cover begins covering the ground
Gladian: Fog?
Atoll: We should get going then
Suddenly, beings made of light come out of the fog
Husk: This looks..
Gladian: We should get home
Begin Combat Tutorial
When you win
Atoll: I’m really getting used to guild life now.
Gladian: Great, now let’s go home
Husk: Time to go
Begin District 9
Midway Through
Atoll: Does this fog have anything to do with Optica, it doesn’t really seem like her style?
Husk: Maybe-
Gladian: I remember something about covering the world in light, but how would anyone see in the thick fog?
Husk: Whatever it is, we should...go...stop it
Continue through District 9 again
When you get 6/7ths through 
Husk: When will the fog disperse?
Atoll: The obscured visibility is quite annoying
Gladian: I’m just worried that it’s not just here.
Finish District 9
When you complete District 9
Atoll: The Guild still looks normal.
Gladian: We should go inside
Husk: Agreed
Atoll, Gladian and Husk enter the guild
Inside is a lot of guild members, plus Iseri, they are discussing the fog.
Iseri: People on my street have been pulled inside, I have not seen them
Xen: I see that the fog is developing at a concerning rate, we should mobilize.
Gladian, Husk and Atoll go near Xen and Iseri.
Iseri: Hello Gladian, also, “we”.
Xen: We all stand a chance if we go together, who is still left here?
Zkn, Vendil and Ehl are sitting on a table shooting off glances
Zkn: We are still here?
Ehl: Yeah, I guess we are.
Vendil: I guess saving the world is my job now
Zkn: Don’t let that fame go to your head.
Atoll walks over to the table
Atoll: Are you gonna go with us?
Ehl: I’d love to help, so count me in.
Vendil: Where to start, I guess?
Xen: Wait, aren’t you guys missing someone?
Gladian (Remembering his girlfriend): Oh, Indica? Is she in the mist?
Xen: Actually, yes
Atoll: Let’s find her.
Iseri: Me and Xen will stay here, maybe acting as mission control
Xen: So you're sticking around
Iseri: Shut Up
Zkn: Then..I guess we’ll head out
Zkn, Ehl and Vendil join the party
Begin District 1
Zkn: Hey, uh, is Gladian your name?
Gladian: Yeah, why?
Zkn: Well I remember hearing Xen say that Indica, Atlantic, Falconer and Hudson were on a boat farther out on the harbor.
Husk: Falconer?
Ehl: Yeah, who is that?
Vendil: The dude with the bird.
Atoll: Eh it’s whatever
Make your way to the docks
When you are ½ way there
Ehl: About this Optica, is she responsible for this?
Gladian: If we had to pick a suspect, it would be her.
Husk: The fog…
Vendil: Got something you want to say there buddy?
Husk: It’s nothing
Continue to the docks
When you reach the docks
Zkn: How far do you think the boat is from shore?
Ehl: It can’t be that far, can it?
Atoll: Nope, it actually looks like a boat is heading into port.
Gladian (Looking at  the boat): It appears to be them?
Suddenly, the fog gets thicker and beings of light descend from the sky, and begin destroying the dock
Zkn: Well….these guys showed up out of nowhere
Vendil: Optica’s forces must be at work
Atoll: Well, let’s stop them
Fight One Wave of The Light Beings
When you win
Indica (From the Boat): Hey, were about to dock
Gladian (From the Dock): Ok, come back on land soon
Suddenly a column of light warps in the sky, revealing Optica
Falconer (From the Boat): Ah, finally done hiding behind minions?
Optica: Not quite yet
Vendil: What’s the big deal, we’ll just save everyone again?
Optica: Not this time, I’ve been planning my move for centuries
Suddenly, the sky begins to vibrate, as the fog on the ground forms a bell
Optica: I’d cover my ears if I were you
Bells out of fog form across the city, and they begin ringing
Ringing at deafening volume.
(End Chapter)
== Chapter 2 ==
The Bells continue to ring, a massive portal opens up above the sky, a white mystical bell room
Optica: Goodbye
Optica flees into the bell room, as the chiming splits the ground 
Gladian (Holding his ears): Run to the Catacombs. 
Gladian’s Group runs to the catacombs as Ehl and Vendil both revert the ground around them to stay standing up. Husk does not hear Gladian and ends up staying on the boat.
Indica, Atlantic, Hudson, Husk and Falconer are still on the boat, unable to dock
Indica: Uh, I have no idea what we are going to do
Atlantic: We, swim away?
Falconer: Good idea, except...
Multiple Light Forms descend as the boat begins to break apart
Hudson: We have two pressing problems and very little time
Indica: I guess we pick what were most likely to survive through
Fight The Lightforms
When you win
Atlantic: We are going under?
The Boat collapses in, sending massive planks of wood at the four passengers, as Indica grabs them all, and swims to the nearest dock. Falconer’s Falcon nudges them all onto the falling dock, and then the four sprint across
Hudson (In Pain): Ow, Can someone look at my back
Atlantic looks at Hudson’s Back, it has a massive piece of wood stuck inside.
Atlantic: Part of the boat came back with you.
Indica (Looking at the Plank): Are you ok?
Hudson: It’s fine, it’s really only a scratch when I think about it
Falconer: Well, we should head back to the guild to get the plank removed from your back
Begin the trek back to the Guild
When you are ⅓ the way there
Hudson: I remember what happened with the resurrection orb, when I came back to life
Indica: You do?
Hudson: My spirit changed forms, into the person I am now, but I am still me
Falconer: I see, it changed forms, into something else but still related to you, how interesting 
Husk:  Change…
Falconer: It’s something you know all about, don’t you old friend. 
Husk: I do…
Falconer: Yeah…you do…
Indica: I like the walk down memory lane, but Husk is blind on that street so let’s just focus on the actual road ahead of us
Husk: I’m not blind 
Hudson: We weren’t saying you were, now please don’t cannibalize me over it?
We switch from the walk in the city down to The Catacombs where Gladian, Atoll, Ehl, Zkn and Vendil are walking 
Gladian: So, Husk is nowhere near us?
Ehl: Unfortunately, he is nowhere near us
Atoll: I do hope he is ok
Vendil: He’s fine if he’s with Indica and the others
Zkn: Worst case scenario is that we have to fish him out
They pause, feeling a familiar light fill the catacombs 
Gladian: Is this Optica’s doing?
Atoll: I don’t think so, if it was she’d probably be gloating about how “she lured us into her deadly trap”
Gladian (Holding back a laugh): You have quite the sense of humor Atoll
Vendil: Hey, I think I know what it is
Ehl: Beline and Olivia? 
Gladian: Oh yeah, Olivia? she was part of Optica but decided to rebel and be her own person, if I recall correctly?
Suddenly, a shadow emerges from the Catacombs 
Beline: Your  memory does serve you correctly, it’s been a while Gladian…
Gladian: Hey, glad to see that you’re back with the living. 
Beline: Well, it feels like I’m not really alive, more like just dying slowly in a dream. 
Vendil: Hey, you’re here with us now, and you’ve been able to do some good while you’re here
Beline: Well yeah I have, Olivia is such a powerful fighter and she’s still learning 
Ehl: It would be nice to see her again
Atoll: As someone who hasn’t met her, It’d be nice to meet her
Zkn: I also share that opinion
Beline: Just follow me if you want to see her
Gladian’s Group follows Beline down the hall and meets up with Olivia, who is currently training her own light powers
Olivia (turning to look at the Guild Members): Hey guys
Ehl: Hey Olivia!!
Atoll: Hi, my name is Atoll and this is (points to Zkn and Gladian!) Zkn and Gladian, they are my friends!
Zkn: Hey there
Gladian: Nice to meet you
Olivia (Feeling overwhelmed): Well, hey, it’s nice to meet you
Beline: Well anyway, I know you didn’t come down here to talk, so what brings you down here?
Gladian: Optica has attacked again, she’s using bells and fog to do something despicable
Olivia: Optica…my captor, my enemy. 
Ehl: Yup, she’s up to some evil stuff and we have to stop her. 
Vendil: Yeah, it’s the only way we know how to deal with this stuff
Olivia: I was a part of her for so long
Atoll: Well..you’re with us now
Beline (reeling from some pain): Let’s hurry out of here 
Suddenly a horde of Light Monsters appear 
Atoll: Huh?
A guy with a blade of light and a face hidden behind smoke appears 
Unknown Assailant: That girl (points to Olivia) is coming with me
Atoll fires a dart right into his face
Atoll: Who are you?
Unknown Assailant: My name is Ophallacen, and the girl is coming with me
Beline: Over my dead body 
Fight against Ophallacean 
When you win
Ophallacean: I won’t take this…I’ll be back 
Vendil: I don’t think you want to be back
Ophallacean: I am the personal hand of Optica’s will, I won’t give up so easily 
Ophallacean vanishes 
Olivia: So why do they want me?
Ehl: Maybe..she wants a reunion 
Zkn: Olivia used to be the Soul of Optica, so it would make sense
Olivia: It’s a past that’s most regrettable to me
Vendil: Well..everyone has regrets don’t they?
Gladian: It’s hard moving forward when you can’t go back
Olivia: Forward is the only way I can go and I need to defeat Optica, to assert once and for all that I am my own person
Ehl: It makes sense, I feel like I was once part of something awful but I am my own being and I’m beyond that kind of life
Gladian: How about we get out of here, and take the fight directly to Ophallacean?
Ehl: Like, a direct confrontation?
Zkn: Well..I like it?
Atoll: What’s the plan Gladian? 
Gladian: Don’t know, but we gotta win
Olivia: Excuse me, but I don’t think saying we gotta win is good enough?
Beline: Please elaborate on your plan Gladian
Gladian: Ok fine, we’ll go into The White Room and fight Ohallacean directly, such a challenge to Optica’s power would shake her to her very core
Olivia: Hmm, that’s more like it
Atoll: Let’s go 
Zkn: First we gotta get out of here
Gladian: Well, then let’s get going
Gladian’s Group leaves for the surface, while we go back to Indica’s group who is at The Century Corps Guild, informing Xen and Iseri of what has happened 
Indica: So, a mystical white room now covers the city and you got nothing
Xen: That’s an entire world up there, we need to figure out how Optica’s power is drawn from it?
Iseri: Maybe you could try to play keep away with her
Hudson: How are we supposed to keep a literal god away from the massive white void over our heads 
Husk: We’d…need to kill…something
Falconer: I doubt any one life would have meaning to Optica
Atlantic: Someone like her is heartless 
Indica: Locating her is also half the battle 
Cosma: If only you had a wise mage with magical prowess to help you?
Cosma and Viridian enter the scene
Indica: Is it really an adventure without you two?
Viridian: Hell no? A massive white void opens in the sky and you think I’m not there? 
Cosma: So is it just us nine here? 
Xen: Operatives all over the city are busy with Optica’s monsters and others are on Titan Tracking missions across the East Coast, so yeah only us 9 are on standby right now 
IserI: Yeah it just looks like it’s us nine, but me and Xen stay behind to defend The Guild
Viridian: Alright, got that
Atlantic: Well, let’s go uh, what are we doing? 
Cosma: I will find Optica and then…we’ll fight her
Husk: And…we’ll uh…
Falconer: Win hopefully
Xen: Well, have fun on your fight
Iseri: Uhm what was the saying, Kick Bubblegum, Chew Ass?
Xen: Nope that’s…not it…
Hudson: Alright, well while it’s been fun, we gotta an evil witch to locate
They leave the guild and set out into The City, where a massive figure that towers above them waits outside
Atlantic: Uhm…I’m scared….
Ohakla: DO NOT FEAR, I AM OHAKLA THE MONSTROUS AND I WILL END YOUR SHORT LIFE
Cosma: Your title is THE MONSTROUS and you expect us not to fear?
Ohakla: YOU WON’T HAVE TO FEAR IF YOU DIE 
Indica: Then let’s KICK YOUR ASS, (Charges right at the monster)
Fight OHAKLA, THE MONSTROUS
When you win
Ohakla: (winces in pain), FOOLISH MORTALS….I’LL BE BACK….
Ohakla stumbles away
Cosma: Well…we got a lead…
Hudson: So if we slay the beast, we’ll know where the witch is?
Atlantic: That’d be convenient, but it’s almost never that easy
Viridian: Well..for once in our lives, it might be that easy. 
Husk: Eating and killing, again and again 
Falconer: Well, killing her will be the hard part, eating is always easy for you Husk
Indica: I want to put the sword down…but….my instincts tell me to brutally kill that monster 
More Light Monsters appear to fight them
Indica: More monsters…huh
Falconer: You love to fight, don’t you?
Hudson: Well, we kind of have too in this situation 
Falconer: Fair point?
Fight The Light Monsters
When you win
Husk: Victory!!
Cosma:  You celebrate every win don’t you Husk…
Husk: (gets wobbly), Husk…is my name?
Husk falls onto the pavement
(Chapter End)
== Chapter 3 ==
The beeping of medical equipment buzzes through the tense atmosphere, a seemingly fatal wound comes out of ___’s head. 
Unnamed Doctor: I’m afraid there’s nothing to be done about this now…
Falconer: Will ___ survive?
Unnamed Doctor: He will, but he will suffer significant brain damage
Juni: What do you mean doc?
Unnamed Doctor: I’m afraid he’s nothing but a husk now
___: (opens his eyes), I’m…a husk? Is that my name…
Suddenly, Husk awakens as Indica shakes him back to life. 
Falconer: Hey…you scared us man? 
Husk: Nothing…but a Husk…my name…is Husk…
Indica: Yeah…your name is Husk
Hudson: I didn’t think those Light Monsters would have screwed him up this badly 
Atlantic: So he’s losing grasp of his memories?
Husk: I have…memories 
Falconer: You do
Cosma: None of my magic could understand why Husk is losing even more of memories
Husk: Memory…I have a memory…
Viridian: I don’t think he’s forgetting
Husk: I have a name…a name…that’s…Husk…no…that’s…not…my…name!
Falconer: Huh!
Indica: Wait…he’s actually remembering?
Cosma: Holy heck!
Suddenly, a massive beam of light shoots into The White World
Viridian: Uh…where did that come from?
Cosma: District 7, let’s go
Atlantic: So did Husk always eat people?
Go to District 7
Once you get there, you’ll see a massive beam of light emanating from a bell inside a building 
Hudson: Is this a beacon or something?
Cosma: No, it looks like a portal 
Viridian: So it’s time to go to The White World?
Atlantic: Is that really wise, we’ll lose contact with Iseri and Xen?
Indica: Well, there’s more of us? What do you we have to lose?
Falconer: Our lives?
Atlantic: Our sanity?
Husk: Our memories??
Hudson: Well, what choice do we have, let’s go
Indica’s group enters the building to look at The Bell
Hudson: Well, do we ring it?
Atlantic: I volunteer
Atlantic wacks The Bell and it grows a pair of spider legs and crawls away
Atlantic: What the fuck?
Indica: Your first curse word!! I’m so proud
Cosma: Well..she speaks for all of us
Husk: GRAAH GET BACK HERE BELL (he runs after it)
Cosma: Let’s run after him
The Party then fights The Bell
When you win, The Bell disintegrates into a portal the party can walk through 
Falconer: Well…out of everything I’ve experienced, that was by far the weirdest, and I watched Husk eat a dead body full of coins once
Indica: Please…never speak again
Husk: Coin..do not taste like flesh 
Hudson: It would be weird if coins did taste like flesh 
Viridian: Do you guys even hear yourselves
Cosma: Screw yall I’m entering the portal now so this moment is over quicker
Indica: Ok I’m coming too
The Party enters The White World 
Cosma: This brings back…unpleasant memories 
Hudson: So…what exactly is this place
Viridian: I’ve been before and I have no idea
Hudson: Hopefully we don’t have to kill anymore Bell-Spider-Things
Suddenly, every Bell in the vicinity, grew spider legs 
Atlantic: Hudson, take this as a sign the universe itself hates you
Hudson: I think I will….
Indica’s Group fights off all The Bell Monsters
Indica: Well..where is Ohakla?
Cosma: Maybe she’ll show up
Suddenly, a shot of light appears in front of them, revealing Ophallacean 
Ophallacean: Those..people and (He sees Indica’s group), uhm who the hell are you? 
Cosma: Who are you?
Ophallacean: Hey, I see dead Bells, I should kill you for this
Atlantic: No thanks
Husk: GRAAH DEATH
Fight Ophallacean
When you win
Ophallacean: These HUMANS ae so annoying!! 
He runs away
Viridian: Cosma…be a dear and take us to Ohakla
Cosma: It would be an honor
As Indica’s group travels further and further into The White World, we pan to Gladian’s Group who is now in District 15
Olivia: So..when will we run into Ophallacean 
Ehl: I have no idea
Vendil: Man…it’s taking forever
Atoll: I would fire a dart in the dark and have a better chance of hitting that guy square in the balls
Gladian: Well, uh, maybe I don’t make the best plans
Beline: No kidding Mr Planner
Zkn: Well, I liked it.
Gladian: Thanks Zkn
Zkn: No problem 
Vendil: Alright, well we’re too deep in now to call it quits, let’s find him
Go through District 14
When you reach District 15
Zkn: Well, while we’re not doing anything important, hey Vendil?
Vendil: What’s up man?
Zkn: Can I speak to the Octopus
Vendil: Are you referring to Gorbuch?
Zkn: Yeah
Vendil:  Uhm..ok…
Gorbuch begins using Vendil’s body as a vessel to talk
Gorbuch: Hello Centennial, what do you wish to talk about
Zkn: If you and Ehl (Points to Ehl) worked together, could you two create a time portal?
Gorbuch: Theoretically, yes
Zkn: Ok thanks?
Gorbuch gives up control of Vendil back to him
Vendil: Time Travel? You must be crazy Zkn?
Ehl: What would you even want with that?
Zkn: Well we are fighting an enemy who claims to be so far beyond our intellectual reach, we might need to resort to such measures in order to defeat her. 
Ehl: Huh, I never thought about it like that
Atoll: I think..for some reason…I feel like that has worked before
Beline: Well I don’t like it…
Zkn: Well..it’s just a thought…feel free to disregard it
Go through District 15
Halfway Through, Okhala storms through the walls, looking wounded
Okhala: DAMN MORTALS, THEY GOT ME GOOD?
Okhala looks at Gladian’s Group
Okhala: MORTALS, TREMBLE BEFORE OKHALA, THE MONSTROUS AND-
Olivia: Tremble with fear?
Atoll: Olivia can snark guys! She’s just like me for real
Gladian: We’re a lively bunch aren’t we
Beline: I’m honestly not a fan
Okhala: STOP YOUR POSTURING AND-
Zkn: And what? Listen to you?
Olivia: (breaks into uncontrollable laughter)
Okhala: I WILL KILL YOU
Battle against Okahala
When you win
Okhala: I HATE YOU PLANET EARTH
Okhala runs through walls in an attempt to escape
Olivia: We give chase?
Gladian: We give chase
Gladian’s Group chases after Okhala
She disappears and they are left at a broken bench with a floating bell over it
Atoll: Ooh guys, I can..ring it
Atoll fires a dart at The Bell, and The Bell grows Spider-Legs and leads around
Gladian: Erm..what in the hell is this? 
Olivia: Bell Spiders, tricky little devils
Beline: Why?
Olivia: Well you see they-
Zkn: She meant why do they exist 
Atoll: Uhm guys…
Gladian: What is it Atoll
Atoll: Do any of you have extra underwear? Bell Spiders are scary?
Vendil: Dude…..
Battle against The Bell Spider
When you win, a portal opens from it’s corpse
Gladian: Sick, we found an in
Beline: Let’s get in there then, like in there right heckin now
Gladian’s group walks through the portal
(Chapter End)
== Chapter 4 ==
Gladian’s Group is now inside The White World 
Olivia: Those familiar echos, those voices, the ringing of the bells, this place hasn’t changed at all
Beline: This is my first time here
Gladian: Well let’s just say we’re in for it
Vendil: In for what?
Gladian: Monsters and a fight against Ophallacean if he shows himself
Zkn: What if Okhala shows up again?
Gladian: Uh..we’ll fight her?
Olivia: So we’ll fight all our enemies?
Atoll: What else would you do?
Ehl: What else would you do….
Zkn: Yeah that’s the million dollar question ain’t it 
Vendil: Well I hate to be the one to interrupt your philosophical posturing but where are we going
Gladian points in a random direction
Vendil: Huh?
Gladian: We gotta go somewhere or else we’ll go nowhere
Zkn: Deep dude…
Gladian: I’m not a philosopher
Zkn: Not with that attitude 
Gladian: Ya know what, just follow me
Begin White World 1
When you halfway done
Ehl: How does this white world work anyway?
Olivia: It’s like..a thing where it’s technically infinite, but has bound space. Basically, The White World is like the Ocean and The White World we are in now is like a sandbar you can stand on
Ehl: That’s a very good explanation 
Beline: If this place is like an ocean, why don’t we just dive deeper?
Olivia: The only person with the depth to fully understand The White World is Optica herself 
Beline: Interesting….
Ehl: So wait a minute, shouldn’t you also understand it since you were part of her
Olivia: I was her soul, not her brain 
Ehl: Ah, I see
Resume White World 1
When you are done White World 1
Gladian: There are significantly more Bell-Spiders than last time
Zkn: Huh, so they are new
Gladian: Yeah
Atoll: One thing I wonder is if Optica will take us to that weird elevator place 
Gladian: The tower of fate, was it?
Beline: You were there, not me, how would I know?
Gladian: Yeah fair enough, how would you know?
Beline: Idiot
Atoll: Anyway, I wonder how far we need to go to find Ophallacean or Okhala?
Zkn: Uh, until we find her
Atoll: I need something less vague dude
Zkn: Then you are asking the wrong person
Begin White World 2 
When you are halfway through 
Olivia: I feel another presence, someone like me
Gladian: Well we’re going the right way
Olivia: So what do we do if we lose
Atoll: We can’t lose
Zkn: But like…we ca-
Atoll: It’s simple, we have a sacred duty to defend this city so many of us call home, so we can never lose, it’s simply not an option 
Zkn: Huh, I never really thought of it like that 
Gladian: Alright, please no more philosophy until after we kill the bad guy
Resume White World 2
When you are done, you will see what looks like a temple made of marble 
Olivia: He’s in…there
Gladian: Let’s get him
Zkn: Sticking to the plan, there’s a reason you are our fearless leader
Gladian: Please never call me your fearless leader ever again 
Zkn: You got it boss
Ehl: So this is the part where we uh?
Beline: The part where we uh fight
Vendil: Alright!
Gladian’s Group enters the temple to face off against who ever is inside
Gladian: Hey, guy, come out and fight us
Ophallacean appears ready to do battle
Ophallacean: You mortals!!
Atoll opens fire on Ophallacen while Beline throws a spear at him
Ophallacean: If you wish to fight to the death then I’ll oblige you
Fight against Ophallacean
When you win
Ophallacean (Bleeding Out): I lost…to mortals…
Olivia: A classic case of bad guys whose hubris blinds them
Gladian: I’m shaking my head, ya know if your pride wasn’t in the way then you might actually win for once
Zkn: Don’t give our adversaries ideas
Beline: Eh it’s a free country he can say whatever he wants
Ophallacean collapses and finally dies
Olivia: Looks like, I have nothing to fear anymore. 
Ehl: Now what?
Beline: Simple, we should explore as much of The White World as we can
Switch over to Indica’s Group 
Viridian: So where exactly are we going?
Cosma: If my magic staff is saying go this way then we go this way so shut up
Viridian: Hey that was really rude
Cosma: Well I don’t want anyone asking dumb questions 
Falconer: My Falcon buddy is thinking that this isn’t exactly the wisest strategy
Cosma: Dumb Question, please have faith in my magical abilities 
Indica: Ok Cosma I believe in you
Hudson: I do too, even if that’s not the best idea
Cosma: Thanks guys
Viridian: Alright guys, no more questioning my girlfriend’s magical capabilities 
Atlantic: Alright now that everyone is feeling validated can yall shut up we have a date with that Monster Lady
Hudson: No we don’t 
Indica: It’s a figure of speech idiot 
Hudson: I don’t get it
Husk: Me neither
Falconer: Husk, you have no idea what we were talking about, were you?
Husk: Atlantic has a date with a woman? 
Falconer: That’s close but not it
Husk: Is it one of you?
Viridian: (Intense Laughing), Husk has a sense of humor guys!!
Atlantic: What…ok…I’ll never mention dating…ever again…
Begin White World 3 
When you are halfway done 
Viridian: This place looks just as empty as it did before
Cosma: Yeah…that’s for sure
Indica: You think Optica’s assault is happening all over the world?
Falconer: It’s possible, but if that were the case, why would she be attacking us in a time like this? 
Atlantic: Maybe she wants to prove she can beat us once and for all
Indica: Well we do have a grudge match to settle
Hudson: I’m eager to help in that regard 
Atlantic: If we settle the score, then we put an end to these battles
Husk: End?
Falconer: Yes, an end
Husk: End…is in friend?
Atlantic: Ya know…he’s acting extra weird 
Viridian: Did he get bumped on the head extra hard or something?
Cosma: Huh, I have no idea, The Doctor said he’d never heal again
Continue White World 3
When you are done, Indica’s Group comes across a cave 
Indica: How  does this place generate structures and stuff?
Cosma: Don’t ask me, I have no idea
Viridian: So there’s a cave now and you have no idea why?
Atlantic: There’s a cave now!
Falconer: Do we go in it?
Suddenly a massive roar is heard from inside The Cave
Okahala: WHAT MORTALS ARE HERE NOW
Cosma: Target acquired 
Husk: Let’s…get her
Cosma sends a massive fireball, destroying The Cave
Fight Okhala, The Monstrous 
When she is halfway dead
Okhala: I AM, I AM, THE STRONGEST OF OPTICA’S CHOSEN LEGION 
Viridian: You were the strongest
Okhala: MY TITLE AS MONSTROUS WAS EARNED!!
Falconer: I bet it was huh
Husk: I also earned…my reputation…as a killer
Resume against Okhala, The Monstrous
When you win
Okhala (Badly Wounded): I will not give in…so easily…
Indica: Ok, well I’ll make it easier for you…
Indica swiftly slices her sword in Okhala, decapitating her
Indica: It never gets easier 
Hudson: Want to put down your sword one day
Indica: Maybe…but not today
Husk: Maybe…I feel the same way
Falconer: Husk…
Husk: My name…is a lie
(End Chapter)
== Chapter 5 ==
We cut to a field, broken arrow pieces are in the dirt, a horrified archer is escorted out of view, Falconer, Juni and Zaylee are standing overtop ___’s body
Falconer: Hey ___, you can’t give up on me now
Juni: ____, you know, we still got so much left in life to do
Zaylee: Please, stay
___’s world fades away, as he is taken to a more alien place, one red and pink with another him standing infront of him
___: Where am I
Husk: Here with me, we share the same mind after all
___: Who are you?
Husk: Who you are now
___: Huh
Husk: I’m a cannibalistic, mindless drone and I’m also a helpful and astute Guild Member
___: What!
Husk: You couldn’t even dodge an arrow from that rookie, now I’m fighting gods on the regular 
___: There’s no way…
Husk: You can still come back, Falconer misses you…
___: YOU BETTER BE TREATING HIM RIGHT
Husk: I’m not
___: You are insufferable 
Husk: I’m you, stupid
___: I reject you and all that you stand for
Husk: Good luck trying to do anything then 
Back in The White World, Indica’s group is surrounding Husk who has gone limp
Viridian: Did he break?
Hudson: He’s still alive
Cosma: Let’s hope he wakes up, he’s a valuable asset to combat 
Indica: Let’s get Husk out of the White World before anything bad happens
Hudson: Well, how do we leave
Atlantic: By leaving? 
Falconer: Solid plan, but how do we leave?
Cosma: We need a key, we can get one by killing a Golden Bell
Indica: They’re gold now huh
Hudson: Gold is a color I don’t like so I don’t mind killing some Gold
Viridian: Well….let’s gettem 
Begin White World 4
Midway through White World 4
Hudson: So…will Husk ever get his memories back?
Viridian: I have no idea
Cosma: He could, I can see it happening
Falconer: I am carrying his body, and it feels like the load keeps getting heavier 
Cosma: So he’s a big guy, stop complaining?
Resume White World 4
When you are done with it
Atlantic: These bells, these monsters, they all exist to serve Optica’s will
???: That wasn’t always true
Atlantic: Who the heck are you?
Indica: Show yourself
The mysterious figure reveals herself to be the figure of Acantha, The Former Guild Master
Indica: How are you here, you DIED
Hudson: Uhm….
Indica: Oops, sorry
Hudson: It’s cool
Echo of Acantha: I am actually her echo, left behind here in case Optica ever tried anything funny
Indica: So you and Geaventus teaming up to lift the city?
Echo of Acantha: Yeah, that was Optica manipulating myself and Geaventus, using our romantic history as fuel, she also manipulated Gladian using his feelings for you, Indica?
Cosma: That’s..scary
Viridian: And let me guess, Optica can manipulate hate too
Echo of Acantha: Correct, her tricky ways have had victims a many, including every living thing aside from us in The White World
Hudson: So know we know thy foe
Echo of Acantha: Indeed you do, now, the way out is just beyond my person
A door opens, the one that leads to Acantha’s old office
We go back to Gladian’s Group, they are kicking around the White World
Gladian: Well uh…we won…so what now?
Vendil: This was your plan
Atoll: We should kill Optica
Olivia: Huh? 
Atoll: We’re already here, we should just, off her
Gladian: I like that plan
Zkn: Just kill her? Would it really be that easy?
Beline: No, we are not going directly to Optica, we need to seal this place from our world, I don’t want Olivia to be risked
Olivia: But I want to kill Optica
Beline: You do…
Olivia: I want to be free of her control 
Zkn: We can make that happen
Gladian: But we’ve fought Optica plenty of times before, and she hasn’t died yet?
Atoll: But we have to keep trying
Ehl: We have to do it
Vendil: As you say, our plan is to win
Gladian: Well, I’m down to get freaky if you want to join me
Beline: I don’t like this plan, but, if we pull it off, we might just win
Begin White World 5
When you are a 1/3rd through it
Gladian: So, how do we know where Optica will appear?
Ehl: We don’t know?
Vendil: For all our gung ho attitude, we do really suck at finding our targets
Atoll: Well this place is basically infinite 
Olivia: I bet I can draw Optica out?
Beline: That’s a bit too risky, don’t you think?
Olivia: I have cause, so I will
Resume White World 5
When you are 2/3rd through it
Gladian: Hey…I wonder if I’m more than just a friend sometimes
Zkn: What do you mean chief?
Gladian: It’s nothing…
Olivia: Gladian can keep his secrets, there’s nothing wrong with that
Beline: Gladian, you’ve really done everything you can and more for them…
Resume White World 5
When you complete it, a small door with an elevator pad next to it appears
Atoll: Hey, the Tower of Fate…
Beline: Be prepared for anything?
Gladian: Hey, if anything happens to me, I want to be buried in the Guild, around my family
Atoll: Ok…dad….
Meanwhile back in The City, Indica’s group is near a bench.
Falconer: I’m leaving Husk here, he’s not moving and we got bigger things to worry about, we’ll come back for him later
Indica: For someone who normally care a lot about him, you sure are quick to leave him here
Falconer: We’ve got other priorities, I hope he comes too eventually but, for now…
Viridian: We’ll see you around Husk…
They leave Husk slumped on the bench, while his mind is waging a war against itself 
(Chapter End)
== Chapter 6 ==
We open on Husk, left on a bench, motionless, he tries to lift his hand but cannot. We look deeper into his mind.
___: Why can’t we move?
Husk: You’re trying to go against me, thus we’re immobilized until we can actually agree on something
___: Why damn you
Husk: This is your fault ya know, we spooked all those friends you care so much about
___: I know…but like…I don’t want to be you
Husk: Sure you don’t
___: Husk…is a lie…built over time
Husk: It’s our name that has been gifted to us by others
___: No…our name is Hyane 
Husk: Well tell me Hyane, is everyone gonna start magically going back to the old days if you just told them your name was Hyane
Hyane: …..
Husk: That’s what I thought 
Hyane: It won’t be easy, but we can transition
Husk: You’re selfish ya know
Hyane: And you’re cynical 
Husk: Well I’ve been eating people and killing them violently, I might as well be the devil
Hyane: I have to bear for all your sins don’t I…
We leave Hyane’s Mind, and go to the Century Corps Guild, where two new people are entering 
Juni: Hey Xen, sorry we got back here so late
Zaylee: Yeah, should have told us the whole city is under attack
Xen: It’s fine, you are here now
Iseri: We need all the hands we get here
Xen: Oh Iseri, you can probably go home now
Iseri: No, I chose to stay
Xen: Are you sure?
Iseri: Yes
Zaylee: Well sweet, more hands are always good
Suddenly a massive surge of light emerges from Acantha’s old room
Iseri: What the hell was that
Xen: Oh yeah, there’s an entrance to The White World in Acantha’s old office 
Zaylee: We should investigate 
Cosma: There’s no need for that Zaylee, it’s just us
Indica’s Group emerged from Acantha’s Office, looking really shaken up
Xen: You are back
Hudson: Yup us in the flesh
Viridian: Good to see you Juni and Zaylee
Juni: Thanks, the feeling is mutual 
Zaylee: How’s the White World?
Hudson: Not fun
Iseri: Oh and wasn’t Husk with you?
Cosma: We had to leave him somewhere here, then we had to re-enter The White World because a Bell-Spider attacked us and we had to come back through here
Falconer: By the way, he is in a comatose state so he’s of no help to us right now
Xen: I see
Atlantic: Anyway, what’s the game plan? 
Iseri: We should probably destroy that room so they can’t get into our world from there
Juni: That would probably be smart
Indica: Prevent any unwanted visitors
Cosma: I could cast a spell
Viridian: Alright everyone stand back
Suddenly a lot of Light Monsters begin emerging from the Room
Iseri: What the hell?
Cosma: Huh, did us coming back enable this attack?
Suddenly Optica herself appears with the army
Optica: I’m afraid that’s not the case, it’s that Acantha’s little stunt with those room is actually anchoring the White World to this realm, and if you destroy it, it’ll mess up my plans.
Atlantic: So that’s what this is…
Xen: Manipulating our fates so we have to follow your plans..
Optica: What do they say, “one step ahead”, I’m more like an entire staircase ahead. 
Atlantic: We’re gonna get you for this
Optica: No you won’t
Optica vanishes and The Light Monsters attack
Indica: Well, fight on shall we?
Juni: We don’t really have a choice do we.,
Fight  a Light Monster Wave 
When you win
Iseri: We just gotta destroy this room
Indica: So focus our attacks on the foundation of it
Cosma: The monsters are really just fodder huh
Hudson: I’ll play decoy if it’s what you need
Falconer: Me too
Atlantic: Me three
Fight Acantha’s Room
When the room is at 75% health, a massive wave of Light Monsters appears, this happens at any health interval 
Iseri: Optica wasn’t lying about this room’s importance, and that’s why it must be destroyed
Indica: I kind of feel bad destroying some that is part of the guild we worked so hard to be a part of 
Zaylee: Well, we can replace it
Juni: Well the sentiment is still there
Falconer: Yeah…
Xen: I don’t mind, I trained you so you’d do anything to save a city you cared so much about..
Resume against Acantha’s Room
When the room is at 50% health….
Zaylee: How important is the Guild to Optica’s plans even
Xen: Very, she manipulated Acantha and Gladian in the past, and put her anchor for her grand evil plan right here in plain view. 
Juni: She’s had a history of messing with us…in all the wrong ways….
Hudson: We have to stop her plans, anyway we can
Atlantic: I don’t want a powerful Light Witch to rule the world. 
Indica: She won’t if we have anything to say about it
Resume against Acantha’s Room
When the room is at 25% health…
Falconer: This is certainly more dangerous than our previous escapades together, Juni and Zaylee
Juni: Certainly, if only a certain someone was here with us
Zaylee: Husk? 
Juni: No, the person he was before…
Zaylee: Hyane…then…
Atlantic: Can we save the sentiment for later, we’ve almost won here.
Viridian: Harsh words..Atlantic..
Resume against Acantha’s Room
When it has been destroyed,  a horde of light monsters appear and attack the party trying to drag them into the glowing pit of light 
Cosma: Brace yourselves, (she makes a protection bubble around everyone).
The monsters keep attacking and even chip the bubble
Viridian: How do we stop them?
Zaylee: Maybe we destroy that pool of light?
Juni: But how…
Cosma: I have no idea..how…
Xen: I’ll do it
Iseri: What?
Xen: I have to, if no one else can..
Without saying another word, the party looks on horrified as Xen runs out of the bubble and begins sprinting towards the pool of light, taking down light monsters on the way before jumping into the pool
Suddenly, it explodes with furious force and the pool is annihilated and the Light Monsters are slain, with a frothy smoke appearing from the remains of the pool…
The Party rushes out of Cosma’s bubble to see Xen, a battered and bloodied mess. 
Xen: Hey..don’t cry…you still got the day to win…
Iseri: Friend…
Xen: Death…is just another part of life…we all have the moment where we have to go…
Iseri: I understand…
Cosma: I want to be sad, but we won't have the chance to mourn, if we have nothing to come back too
Xen: Yeah…please…bury me among the flowers…
Xen’s breathing gives out, and The Party surrounds Xen’s dead body and they load him into a spare casket they have as protection from natural decay. 
Indica: I don’t want him to rest in peace?
Iseri: Huh
Indica: He wouldn’t want that, he would want to keep fighting for everyone, even in death…
Iseri: That..makes sense, you know my old friend well
Cosma: He’s our friend too…
Zaylee: Goodbye…
We move over to Gladian’s Group at the elevator door, opening it and entering the tower of fate
Gladian: This is the point of no return guys, Optica must die.
Atoll: How are even gonna lure her out
Zkn: Isn’t it obvious, we’re intruders so she’ll head home to ward off the home invasion 
Vendil: Well, we have a goal
Ehl: Let’s get this done
Beline: If you’re so sure of this…
Olivia: I will be free
Begin Climbing The Tower of Fate
When you reach floor 5
Olivia: Where is she…
Beline: Her absence worries me
Ehl: Maybe she has bigger problems?
Gladian: Bigger problems then us crashing her place?
Zkn: She’s an all powerful witch, the possibility is there
Ehl: Well still, she’ll have to notice us eventually 
Resume 
When you reach floor 10
Zkn: Her absence means she probably isn’t home
Atoll: The Optica I know wouldn’t pass up an opportunity to goad us 
Vendil: Still, we have to keep going or else she’ll never notice our intrusion. 
Gladian: Maybe we’ll destroy some stuff on the way up
Resume 
When you reach floor 15
Olivia: This place is more drab and boring then I thought
Zkn: This is your first time?
Olivia: First time I’ve seen it with my own eyes, it’s certainly ugly and disgusting.
Zkn: All powerful witches have bad taste in decor, who would have thought?
Beline: Zkn, your benign attempt at humor is not amusing. 
Zkn: Eh. It was Worth a shot
Resume
When you reach floor 20
Vendil: Ok, this is ridiculous, we’re raiding her massive doomsday tower and she can’t even be bothered to show up for her guests?
Zkn: Maybe she’s already dead?
Olivia: No, if she was already dead I would know
Atoll: The longer she’s not here, the more I worry
Gladian: I can feel that something’s not right
Beline: But it doesn’t seem to be a trap….
Resume
When you reach floor 25, Optica is sitting down at a table musing to herself, The Party moves slowly around her
Optica (Musing her thoughts): They destroyed my anchor to the Earth, I’m gonna need something else if I need my plan to work…
Gladian (Whispering): Go
Optica: Maybe if I-
A dart from Atoll rips through Optica’s concentration as it penetrates her arm, Olivia deflects her counterattack as Gladian stabs her in the back
Optica (Surprised): An Ambush! Here!
Gladian: That’s right, you’ve met your maker
Beline thrusts her spear into Optica’s side but she dislodges it and throws it at the ground. 
Olivia: Once you die, I’ll be free to be who I want to be
Optica: Shut up child, You ARE Me, We are one in the same
Olivia: Shut up, Shut up, SHUT UP, we are nothing like…
Optica: Denial will get you nowhere darling…
Vendil reverts the ground Optica is standing on into cement, nailing her there, she jumps up
Optica: You fools really brought my soul back to me on a silver platter..with your lives no less
Ehl: I don’t get it, is she saying this was a trap?
Zkn: No..it’s more like, she’s gearing up for a fight
Zkn then manifests a cage around Optica which she tries to break out of, Atoll barrages her with darts but she evades most of them. Optica escapes The Cage
Optica: If a brawl to the death is what you want…
Beline: I’ll give it to you
Fight against Optica
The fight is a scripted loss, when you lose…
Vendil: Uh, I don’t understand, we jumped her in her own home, how is she winning?
Zkn: Clearly we didn’t prepare a battle strategy…
Olivia: No this can’t be how it ends!!
Optica: Oh sweet child, you’re part of me, we’re meant to be together…
Atoll: I won’t let you
Atoll fires a dart directly at Olivia who deflects it into Optica’s eyes
Optica (Actually Hurt): HRAAAH, I don’t CARE what you want
Optica begins absorbing Olivia, suddenly Beline’s spear begins to glow with a piercing energy 
Beline: I was always running out of time, I could feel my life slowly…slip away
Gladian: Hey what are you saying…
Beline: I will have to say goodbye again...
Beline grabs her spear and throws it at the walls of The Tower of Fate, causing it to collapse
Optica: NO!
Optica continues to absorb Olivia but Beline jumps infront of her instead and stabs Optica in the stomach. The rest of Gladian’s Group runs away as Beline duels Optica alone in the collapsing Tower of Fate
Fight against Optica
The fight is a scripted loss, when you lose
Optica: Your sacrifice achieves NOTHING
Beline: But I’m grateful I had another life to give…
Optica stabs Beline through the heart with her own spear, finally killing her, then Beline's cipher explodes, heavily wounding Optica.
At the base of the collapsing tower of fate, a crack opens that leads to the city
Olivia: I wish…I could say goodbye to my friend…
Atoll: We’re still your friends…
Olivia: I couldn’t do it….
Gladian: I know…but we have bigger problems right now…
Tower debris falls at an increasingly fast rate 
Zkn: Brace yourselves
Zkn creates an astral basket and loads everyone into it as The Tower’s base collapses
(Chapter End)
== Chapter 7 ==
Inside Hyane’s Mind, Husk and Hyane are locked in their places
Hyane: I don’t like your methods, Husk?
Husk: Well, our memories were coming back, so you were too, I’m the accumulation of the life we’ve lived after the accident 
Hyane: I understand that well enough, but you’ve sullied our reputation. People see us as a cannibalistic monster, one who kills and maims people, one who claims the lives of innocents. 
Husk: But we’re not just that, we’re a helpful member of The Century Corps, we’re a friend to people like Indica and Gladian, we’ve helped save the world
Hyane: But still…we’re…
Husk: You don’t understand, our friends before still remember us as Hyane as well, they cherish both Husk and Hyane the same, even if they don’t act like it sometimes…
Hyane: Then what do we do…
Husk: It’s obvious, you can’t live without me…
Hyane: I see…then we’ll become one
Husk: We’ll no longer be a Husk?
Hyane: Yes, Hyane will be back, but all the memories you made, all the promises you made, all the tragedies you’ve made will be a part of me too, I will bear the responsibility for all I have done
Husk: I’m glad we could finally agree on something, but we’ve got work to do if we want to make up for everything we’ve done
Hyane: I’m so glad you feel the same.
Husk: Let’s wake up, we’ve got a witch to stop and a world to save.
Hyane moves off of the bench he was put on
Hyane: I feel complete again…
Hyane sees smoke coming from District 2…
Hyane: Oh no…Am I too late?
Hyane runs over to District 2 at a fast pace
Meanwhile, The Century Corps building is a cobbled mess of bricks, and Indica’s group is going back and forth
Cosma: I have no idea if we can really defeat Optica in a head on attack?
Viridian: Well we have to try something, if we try nothing, Optica wins. 
Iseri: Well we’ve cleary done a number on her plans, The White World appears to be fading away
Indica: Xen’s sacrifice destroyed the anchor, so it seems like it’s power is broken
Cosma: Yeah, but what now?
Juni: Uh, fight Optica head on?
Atlantic: Not gonna work for reasons already listed. 
Hudson: Maybe we could find a way to permanently seal The White World?
Zaylee: Would be good, but we might not have the time
Falconer: Why don’t you look up
Zaylee: That’s not a plan!
Falconer: No seriously, look up!
Pieces of The Tower of Fate begin raining into the city below
Atlantic: Out of all the crazy things I’ve seen today…this tops the list…
Iseri: The White World…is raining bricks?
Indica: Alright guys, maybe this is a secret tool that can help us later?
Atlantic: I have no idea why this is happening?
Suddenly, an astral basket with a glider on it descends down and lands on the ground near the smoking guild
Cosma: Hey wait a minute I know those projections
Gladian’s group comes out of the basket
Zkn: Hey guys, erm why is the guild on fire?
Indica: Optica was using a room here as her anchor to this world, so we had to break it
Gladian: That makes sense?
Indica: Yeah..but Xen had to sacrifice himself to really do damage to it
Atlantic: So that makes two no longer with us?
Hudson: Did something happen on your end?
Olivia: Yes
The rest of The Party looks somewhat surprised to see Olivia there
Olivia (Introducing herself to the rest of The Party) : Hi, My name is Olivia, I’m with them
Indica: Ok, proceed…
Ehl: We went into the White World to fight this fellow named Ophallacean
Viridian: Oh hey we fought him too
Vendil: We fought him when he tried to take Olivia away because she was linked to Optica, then we chased him into the White World, killed him, went to jump Optica cause we were already there, we jumped her, Optica kicked our asses, Beline sacrificed herself to destroy the tower so we could escape.
Falconer: That’s a lot…
Juni: So head on assault is out of the question?
Iseri: Well, I don’t have a plan
Viridian: Me neither
Gladian: Same here
Zkn: I have a plan….
Vendil: Are you talking about Time Travel?
Cosma: Time travel!!
Zkn: If Vendil and Ehl worked together, they could open a time portal and we could use Time Travel to our advantage
Cosma: Hmm, we could send Optica to a different time period, one where she’d have no influence and she’d be trapped there
Olivia: How about the very end of the universe, we could trap her there for all eternity and she’d never be able to go back because the forward passage of time would dictate that the universe would end before she could do anything? 
Viridian: Huh, that’s a pretty solid plan
Gladian: But we’d need someone to play the role of decoy? Like bait of somekind
Olivia: I’ll do it
Atoll: But the risk for you is really high
Olivia: I don’t care, her spell over me will be broken at  last, I can’t give up when I can’t be free until we finally win
Iseri: I have just one question for the time portal plan?
Zkn: Shoot
Iseri: Where is it gonna go?
Zkn: Huh I never thought about that?
Falconer: How about Calvert Tower, big building, lots of space
Cosma: That could work
Iseri: Alright let’s set out
Suddenly a group of Light Monsters appear to finish off Gladian’s Team from the Tower of Fate
Gladian: Alright guys get-
Just as suddenly, Hyane jumps in front the monsters and cuts them down with his void daggers
Falconer: Oh hey Husk is back?
Gladian: He left?
Husk?: Hey, but Husk is not my name, It’s Hyane
Cosma: Woah you got your memories back?
Husk/Hyane: Yeah
Juni: Woah our friend is really back
Zaylee: I can’t believe it…
Falconer: Man…you’re really back….
Husk/Hyane: You better believe it
Indica: Alright, nice reunion, now let’s go to Calvert Tower
Juni: Oh yeah Hyane, the plan is to trap Optica at the end of the universe 
Husk/Hyane: Got it
Iseri: Alright, let’s go
The Party sets out to Calvert Tower
When you are 1/8th of the way there
Gladian: I remember the last time we set off to Calvert Tower
Viridian: Our group was smaller
Atoll: And Zenial was with us
Indica: Good times…
Iseri: Now, we’ll go there together
Atoll: Honestly, it feels good when we’re all in a group
Resume
When you are 2/8th of the way there
Juni: So you really have your memories back?
Husk/Hyane: Yeah, it feels good, I feel complete again
Zaylee: Are you still gonna violently kill and eat people?
Husk/Hyane: Are you volunteering?
Zaylee: Nope, proceed as you are…
Resume
When you are 3/8th of the way there
Vendil: Hey Ehl, I never imagined we’d ever team up together
Ehl: Why’s that?
Vendil: Well let’s just say it’s ancient history, you’ve actually become a good friend to me with all that has happened…
Ehl: Thanks Vendil..I know people had their doubts about me due to the circumstances I was created during, and I’m glad to have become your friend..
Resume
When you are 4/8th of the way there
Atlantic: Sometimes..I really do feel like maybe we shouldn’t be exposed to the line of fire so regularly, but then I remember, that I don’t really have anywhere else to go
Atoll:  Well where else would you want to go?
Atlantic: Well nowhere, if I’m being honest
Atoll: You wanna stay here?
Atlantic: Even though death is always a possibility in the line of duty, there’s nowhere else I’d rather be…
Iseri: Nowhere else you’d rather be huh…
Resume
When you are 5/8th of the way there
Cosma: Hey Viridian,  the world doesn’t end, I think I want us to get married?
Viridian: What??
Cosma: Well yeah..in times after tragedies, it’s important to remember that we also have the capacity for grief along with the capacity for love…
Viridian: Well…I guess that makes sense…but..this is so sudden…
Cosma: No time like the present am I right?
Falconer: Huh, I never thought of it like that…
Resume
When you are 6/8th of the way there
Husk/Hyane: I may have caused a lot of suffering to befall people, but I also helped people, am I good person or a bad person?
Falconer:  I don’t believe in morality when everything is subjective
Husk/Hyane: Huh
Juni: Dude we literally watched you eat the face off of a guy in plain view
Husk/Hyane: Oh yeah…well ok I see your point
Resume
When you are 7/8th of the way there
Hudson: What happens if the plan fails?
Zkn: Well we’ll all die so it won’t matter
Hudson: Yeah fair enough
Vendil: We go to face the end nearly every time we do this, we’ve looked into the abyss so many times
Ehl: We can’t blink now
Hudson: Fair enough 
Husk/Hyane: No more joy or sadness, if we fail..
Resume
When you get to Calvert Tower
Zkn: We’re here, alright everyone take position.
Cosma: Zkn, Vendil, Ehl, Olivia and myself will go to Floor 21, while the rest of you go to floor 20, we’ll lay our trap and spring it so the final battle can begin
Gladian: You got it
Husk/Hyane: A final battle…
Everyone begins racing up the stairs, taking position so the plan can begin
(Chapter End)
== Chapter 8 ==
We zoom in on Calvert Tower’s 21st and 20th floors, with members of The Century Corps getting ready to make a defiant stand against Optica to save the world from her White World. 
Zkn: The plan is that Olivia will fly out and try to grab Optica’s attention, then once Optica is nailed down by the other guild members, we knock her in the portal, sending her to the end of time
Olivia: Got that.
Ehl: And me and Vendil have to make the portal
Cosma: Also correct
Vendil: So, when do we make the portal, it seems like a taxing amount of work
Cosma: I’ll start casting a spell to feed you guys magical energy so the portal’s creation is instantaneous
Ehl: Rodger?
Zkn (Calls through a hole in the floor): Are we ready to begin the plan?
Iseri: Ready when you are?
Olivia flies out into the open sky
Olivia: Hey OPTICA, come get me ya big chicken! 
In response, many Light Monsters appear in her place, ready to grab Olivia 
Olivia (Fighting them off): SHOW YOURSELF COWARD
More monsters appear, Olivia fights them off with assists from Falconer’s Falcon.
Zkn: Well this isn’t going well..
Gladian: What’s the plan now chief
Zkn: You gotta join her out there
Zkn makes a massive astral bridge for the Century Corps to stand on to fight with Olivia.
Indica: Well you heard them, let’s go
The Century Corps rush across the bridge to join Olivia in the battle
Fight Light Monster Wave 1
When you win 
Atoll: Where is she?
Husk/Hyane: Is she hiding?
Atlantic: I believe she is
Viridian: Why would you say that?
Atlantic: She’s scared
Fight Light Monster Wave 2
Zaylee: So she’s turned coward and ran away
Olivia: BAWK BAWK BAWK BAWK, OPTICA’S A CHICKEN
Hudson: I think we gotta send her a message
Atlantic: Nope, she can hear us loud and clear 
Falconer: So what will get her to appear?
Fight The Final Light Monster Wave
When you win, Optica appears in a shroud of light
Optica: I’m out of monsters…
Olivia: You..again..you murderer and you monster
Optica: Shut up, we’re one in the same
Olivia: We are not the same, I am my own person independent from you and your crimes
Optica: Once I absorb you, I will become all powerful again, don’t stand in my way again
Falconer: It’s too late Optica, we’re gonna defeat you once and for all
Juni: You’ll get it
Atoll: Got anything else to say
Hudson: Make it quick
Optica: No matter how many of you intrepid fools give your lives…you will never stop me!!
Fight Optica on The Bridge
When Optica is at 50% 
Optica: You bastards sure are persistent 
Olivia: I’m determined to never be you or like you
Indica: You’ve terrorized our city for too long
Optica: For all your postering and whining, I’ll always win, I’ll always come back, I’LL NEVER LOSE
When Optica is at 10%
Optica: Mortals cannot comprehend my true power, I am beyond anything you can comprehend. 
Atlantic: Why don’t you comprehend getting your ass kicked 
When you win….part of the bridge collapses so you have to fall back a little
Optica: This bridge represents your futile attempts to fell me, collapsing underneath your feet, no matter how many times I am humiliated, I  have never truly died. 
Indica: We’re gonna send you to hell, no matter how many times you insist on otherwise
Husk/Hyane: As repayment for all I’ve done, I’ll help stop you, stop you now and foreveer 
Optica: I will kill you, all of you
Fight Optica on The Collapsing Bridge
When Optica is at 50%
Optica: You pests tire me
Atlantic: Will you shut up already?
Optica: Insolent commands are not yours to give
Zaylee: “Insolent commands are not yours to give”
Optica: YOU DARE MOCK ME
When Optica is at 25%
Optica: Why am I struggling so much against you mortals?
Olivia: These mortals are stronger than you ever were
Indica: For all your high minded posturing-
Iseri: You never considered the power of people working together
Optica: Shut UP, SHUT UP, SHUT UP, SHUT UP-
Atlantic: Insolent commands like that are not yours to give
When Optica is at 10%
Optica: I don’t understand how…you keep on fighting against a foe you know is stronger…in every possible way…I’m superior to every man who has ever lived…
Iseri: The thing is, manly vices like arrogance and pride are things gods like you aren’t immune too
Optica: I-
Atlantic: Shut up
When you win
The Bridge collapses completely and the party rushes back into Calvert Tower
Olivia (Battered and wounded): Now…I’ll finally kill you…
Suddenly, Cosma begins speaking.
Cosma: The spell is finally ready
Optica: What!
A beam tears through the floor and puts Optica in a bubble, on cue, Ehl and Vendil open the portal and Zkn creates a fan to blow Optica into it
Optica: Send me throughout time, clever, but I won’t be defeated so easily. 
Vendil: Why hasn’t she been thrown in there yet?
Zkn: I have no clue
Optica begins slowly escaping and as that happens, Husk/Hyane begins moving 
Falconer: Hyane…what are you doing?
Husk/Hyane: I have to bear myself for all the wrong I have done, and put myself aside
Gladian: Hey man what are you saying
Husk/Hyane: Unless Optica is defeated, there will be no joy, no love, no sadness and a still world, unmoving and ugly
Juni: Dude, what are you about to do?
Husk/Hyane: I want everyone to take care…
Zaylee: No...Hyane you don’t have to do this?
Husk/Hyane: I’m the only one who can….
Indica: Uhm-
Husk/Hyane: Save the world…I have too...please never stop laughing and smiling 
Falconer: WAI-
Husk/Hyane jumps through the hole and latches onto the almost broken bubble Optica is contained in
Optica: What is the meaning of this?
Husk/Hyane: You won’t escape, you’re coming…with me
Husk/Hyane grabs Optica and throws her into the portal along with himself
The portal closes immediately 
Vendil: Did he just…sacrifice himself?
Falconer: Hyane really did it…through himself right in the line of fire for us again…
Gladian: Well….Optica really is gone now…
Indica: We can go home now…
Juni: We don’t even have a body to bury…
Zkn: I don’t think Hyane would want you to feel sorrow, he would want you to remember the good times and the joy you felt and be glad that you got to experience that
Viridian: Our good friend is gone, let’s be sad about that
Cosma: But we should also celebrate, that he saved the world through a single action..
Iseri: We need to throw a proper funeral and send the warriors who gave their lives a proper send off..
Atoll: I’m down for that
Olivia: I’m also down for that…It feels so good, to be free of Optica and be the person..I want to be
Zaylee: I think..that sounds great
Hudson: Then let’s not waste any time
Atlantic: I’m so glad…to be here…with you
Gladian: I feel the same…
As The Guild walked home in the present, at the far end of the Universe, Husk/Hyane and Optica landed in the distant future, at the end of The Univese.
Optica: Where are we?
Husk/Hyane: The end of time…we sent you here…with no way home and to a place where you have no influence
Optica: Insect, well…you will pay with your life for your challenge to my power
Husk/Hyane: Even if you kill me…you will be trapped here forever
Fight against Optica for the final time
When she is at 75% health
Optica: Why…am I losing…to one man
Husk/Hyane: Your power isn’t real power…real power is from the experiences you live and the friends you make, it’s the things that make life worth living that make me determined to defeat you even here where it won’t matter
Optica: I…I….Won’t stand for your nonsense
When she is at 50% health
Husk/Hyane:  When will you learn that your pride and arrogance only gets in the way
Optica: I-
Husk/Hyane: Have no response in the face of a world that rejects your way of thinking? That’s what I thought
When she is at 25% health
Husk/Hyane: Seeing the universe at it’s very end is depressing, it’s missing the life that makes life worth living, it’s missing the very essence of being..of living…
Optica: You call the reason for living the fact that you are..life is just a stain on a perfect universe made up of life
Husk/Hyane: No..life is the reason our universe is so very perfect…it’s the thing that makes gives me to fight on… even when I have no more reason too
Optica: I HATE YOU AND EVERYTHING YOU STAND FOR
Husk/Hyane: The feeling is mutual
When she is at 10% health
Optica: I cannot..THIS CANNOT BE HOW IT ENDS…
Husk/Hyane: I didn’t expect to be here either, but I’ll do anything, to finally see you defeated once and for all. 
When you win
Optica: Impossible…I cannot be…defeated… 
Husk/Hyane: Goodbye..Optica
Husk/Hyane thrusts his daggers through Optica’s eyes, ending her life and killing her forever, Husk/Hyane then sets down and watches the universe end before him
Later that night….
Members of The Century Corps have all assembled back home, rebuilding The Guild but also they’ve come back home for a special service.
Iseri, who is now temporary Grandmaster, takes the microphone as 3 coffins lay together, away from three graves
Iseri: We’re here to celebrate the lives of three heroes, Xen, Beline and Hyane. Xen was the grandmaster of this guild before me and all of you know him, Xen was a hero who has saved countless lives, Xen is a man I was proud to call a friend.  Beline was also bright as could be and she had previously given her life to restart The Idol of Light, Beline is a hero and we owe our lives to her. Finally, Hyane. Hyane was known by many as Husk and both sides of the man were admirable and people who I deeply admired. Hyane is someone who could always see the joys in life. So let’s mourn their deaths by celebrating their lives
Iseri blows a horn and the party begins. Falconer moves over near Cosma.
Cosma: Hey man, what’s up…
Falconer: Hey, make sure to say, what you mean, and the things you want too, too the people most important to you…because those are the people…that are the hardest to admit what you want too
Cosma: Was there something you wanted to say to Hyane
Falconer: There was…something…I really waned to say…three words…I wanted to say..more than anything else…in the entire world…
Cosma: Bear your feelings to witness anyway, let the whole world know…I already know what you wanted to say…
Falconer: You do?
Cosma: Remember, love and grief go hand in hand…just trust your heart..everything will work out in the end…
Falconer: Alright…but I wish..he could hear them too…
(Chapter End)
== Epilogue ==
One Week later….
The setting is happier, most of the guild are on their knees, kneeling out of respect to the ceremony happening before their eyes. A wedding, albeit in the style the Brides want with Gladian acting as the priest. 
Gladian: Cosma..do you take Viridian to be your bride?
Cosma: I would anytime…anywhere
Gladian: And Viridian, do you take Cosma to be your bride?
Viridian: Always…
Gladian: Then I pronounce you…wife and wife….
Gladian throws his sword into the crowd, whoever catches it will be married next
Larkin makes a dive-bomb for the sword but it slips out of reach and lands on the grass
Atlantic: Nice try Larkin!
Larkin: Pfff, I didn’t want to be married anyway…
Largo: You’re just a kid, you’re not ready to get married yet…
Larkin: I’ll be a kid forever due to my regenerative abilities, least you could do is let me find love
Largo: You’ll find love when you get the attitude to match
Iseri: Love is such a fickle concept
Femmeo: I feel a kind of love from everyone here, I love you all
Thomas: I love you too Femmeo
Zkn: I consent to that
Hiegya: I love you too
Nori: You guys are the best…
Hudson: We’re almost like a real family 
Graiy: Hehe, almost
Shiye: Saving the world is worth it when we can share it with everyone we love
Auralie: I only wish I could have been there
Indica: Ya know…our friends fought for days like today, where the sun shines and we’re all laughing
Ehl: I really love to see everyone’s smiling faces
Olivia: Being here with all my friends is a joy greater then any feeling I could imagine…I feel like a new person…
Atoll: Forget friends..you are my family…and I love you..with all my heart
Hudson: I know…and honestly now…I feel like we can do anything
Cosma: Then let’s go..because nothing feels impossible today…
The massive crowd parts and goes off into the city to party
(The End)
== Bonus Chapter: Larkin ==
We open up outside The Guild inside a library of some sort where Larkin is reading a story at a school of somekind
Larkin: And then I punched the monster in the face, kissed the girl and saved the day
Larkin puts down the story and the crowd begins cheering
Larkin Fan Club Member #1: That was awesome…of course only the great and awesome Larkin could fight Mokufa, Devourer of Gods and save the day
Larkin Fan Club Member #2: You’re so cool Larkin, can I have your autograph?
Larkin: Sure
After reading signing autographs and such, he leaves to go outside where Diesel, Nori and Rowan are waiting 
Nori: You defeat a solar monster once and now you go around making up stories about some character named Mokufa, Devourer of Gods!!
Diesel: Yeah…it’s not healthy, you don’t have to go around pretending your some kind of hero all the time
Larkin: But Mokufa was real, Enai was with me!
Rowan: Who is Enai?
Larkin: Doesn’t matter, Mokufa fatally wounded her during the fight, we at least got to share a kiss
Nori: Gross, grow up
Diesel: Even if this Enai person was real, there’s no way you two fought someone named Mokufa, Devourer of Gods… 
Larkin: BUT I DID
Rowan: Ancient legends do indicate there is a being that is fated to devour the gods but his name isn’t Mokufa
Larkin: Sigh…you guys will never believe me…
Nori: Because you made the whole damn thing up
Diesel: In all of Nori’s days tracking titans, not a single one was named Mokufa…
Larkin: Well what if I did make the whole damn thing up?
Rowan: You did
Nori: Man…what are we gonna do with you?
Larkin: There’s no harm in exaggeration and hyperbole!
Diesel: You just gotta be wary that sometimes it’s better to accept that your not all that then go around causing problems for everyone…
Larkin: Fine…
The four went  to head back to The Guild, tired from a day of Larkin galavanting around and talking about his “exploits” 
Suddenly, Larkin’s hand was grabbed by a man in a suit with sunglasses
Mysterious Man: Hello Larkin, I’m with Department X, I’m here to take you away, do not resist
Larkin: What is the meaning of this?
Department X Agent: Your existence is out…we can’t let anyone else know
Larkin: What?
Nori: There’s no way he’s gonna agree to that, Larkin is his own person…
Department X Agent: You really don’t know who we are
Diesel: I assume because you are a secret organization that does secret experiments 
Department X Agent: Correct and “Larkin” was Experiment 0 in our lab research on high level regeneration…
Larkin: I thought…I was just a kid who ran afoul of a powerful witch…
Department X Agent: Wrong…those were implanted memories for when you were decommissioned but now you are out in the open and causing trouble..so you’re coming with us
Rowan: Just because he’s made something of himself amd you made him in a lab, doesn’t mean you have the right to take him away
Department X Agent: Ok…I’ll spell it out for you, surrender Larkin or you’ll all be erased
Nori: No
Larkin: Thanks guys…I don’t want to be experimented on by some freaks in suits. 
Department X Agent: Alright guys…take them away
Suddenly, a bunch of “Larkin Fan Club” members emerge with guns drawn
Larkin: What the heck
Larkin Fan Club Member: Nothing personal…
Rowan: “Words..never be barren in our times of trouble”
Rowan’s discordant song echoes and immobilizes the fan club. 
Nori: Let’s make a break for it…
Larkin: Agreed,,,
The Party runs down a block and hides behind some storage containers
Nori: So…you told a secret organization the story you made up and now they want to take you back to a lab to decommission you because they think it’s real
Larkin: What? That’s not funny
Rowan: It’s actually pretty funny
Diesel: They pretended to be your fan club too, they really knew how to flame your ego
Larkin: Shut it! I really thought people cared about my wacky adventures
Nori: The ones that never happened
Larkin: Yeah…I’m allowed to imagine and dream big
Begin District 8 with the party of Nori, Diesel, Rowan and Larkin
When you are halfway through 
Rowan: If you wanted to get stories out there, why don’t you write a book?
Larkin: I did!! It didn’t do well commercially and now publishers don’t want my drafts!!
Rowan: That sucks
Nori: Man between failed book deals and secret organizations, you’ve actually had it rough Larkin
Larkin: Hey, I thought I was a celebrity!!
Diesel: Why don’t you forget the fame
Larkin: I could…but then how will I get the movie deal?
Nori: Movie deal?
Larkin: Larkin vs Mokufa The Godslayer, starring Larkin in titular role, I can just imagine it
Rowan: I can’t…
Larkin: You’d do the sound-track!
Rowan: I guess I can imagine it
Nori: You really know how to posture people, Larkin…
Larkin: No, I’m just being nice to my friends, for being so sincere to me..
Resume
When you are done District 8, an entire line of Larkin Fan Club Members block The Party’s exit
Larkin Fan Club Member #1:  Mr. Larkin, I’d like an autograph if that’s cool with you
Larkin: Not a chance, I now know this fan club is actually a trap by the deep state agency to get me to give me their blood. 
Larkin Fan Club Member #2: Huh?
Diesel: You heard the man, move!
Rowan: Paparazzi really does suck
The crowd dispersed as Larkin, Diesel and Rowan plowed through it, with Department X right on their heels
Department X Agent: Get back here now!!
Larkin: Never….I personally value my freedom
Rowan: Hell yeah…
Larkin: You guys probably aren’t even a real Government Agency
Department X Agent: Huh?
Nori: Losers, they don’t even know if they’re getting paid or not?
Department X Agent #2 (breaking down into tears): I don’t man…don’t laugh at me…my family can barely afford to eat…
Diesel: I’m so so-
Larkin: Serves you right asshole
Rowan: Uhm….maybe keep your mouth shut?
Larkin: Why? These guys are pretty fucked up and evil, like in the movies, the main character aka me is supposed to beat them up and the audience  isn’t supposed to feel sympathy for them
Department X Agent: That’s actually really reductive and mean, my feelings are hurt 
Larkin: Being told I’m a government experiment and that I’m scheduled to get terminated is also really reductive and mean, my feelings are hurt
Nori (Dragging Larkin off): Let’s just get out of here
Begin District 9
When you are halfway through 
Department X Agent #2: Wait….(Panting), If you don’t surrender, we’ll bring out the big gun!
Nori: Oh no! Whatever shall we do?
Department X Agent: Sur-
Nori: I was being sarcastic, we’ll keep going
Diesel: Nori wins tonight’s award for most sarcasm
Nori: I’m so grateful to be here at the Being Chased by Department Y-
Department X Agent: It’s Dep-
Rowan: Shut it, you’re being rude
Nori: -Awards, I’m so glad to get my award
Larkin: This sarcasm too?
Nori: Yes
Resume District 9
When you reach The End, there’s a tank with Department X written on it, with another person inside. 
Department X Agent: We had no choice but to resort to this…
A clone of Larkin emerges from the vat…
Department X Agent: This is Lark2n, the-
Before he could finish, Lark2n killed all The Department X Agents and then turned to look at Larkin…
Lark2n: Original me is-
Before he could finish, Larkin punched Lark2n in the face 
Larkin: Sorry…but evil clones are so last season..
Lark2n: What the-
Larkin and Lark2n then enter into a brutal and drawn out fistfight 
Nori: Can we stop them?
Rowan: I know a song that can damage “immortal” beings, maybe it’ll work on Larkin’s evil cone
Lark2n: My name is-
Larkin: Sock it faker
Lark2n: I’ll make you eat those words
Larkin: You’re the imposter among us, you big green piece of shit
Lark2n: God you’re a piece of work
Larkin: Why don’t you shut it ya celery wannabe
Diesel: Well I don’t want to stop this, it’s very entertaining
Diesel gets odd looks from Rowan and Nori
Diesel: Fine, I guess we’ll end it
Fight against Lark2n
When he is at 50% 
Lark2n: Graaah, I hate all of you…I didn’t even get a chance to-
Larkin: Like I said, evil clones are so last season, “developed by scientists, made as a weapon” like come on people, surely you can do better than Darth Dumbass over there
Rowan: Holy crap he’s spitting bars
Lark2n: I hate-
Larkin: Shut it you overgrown vegetable 
Resume against Lark2n
When he is at 10%
Lark2n: Why am I melting?
Larkin: Good question, I am also melting but it’s being contained in my armor
Lark2n: I never even got t-
Larkin suddenly begins dancing to make a mockery of Lark2n
Larkin: I’m a green bean and I can do a green bean dance
Lark2n: Stop inter-
Rowan: I’m starting to think we should have kept the clone
Larkin: Is my dancing really that atrocious?
Nori: Yes
Diesel: 100%
Rowan: Please never dance again
Resume against  Lark2n
When you win
Lark2n: I’m melting…melting  oh what a-
Larkin: BAM…(Jumps on Lark2n’s head) POW… (Jumps on Lark2n’s head again)
Lark2n melts into the ground.
Nori: Well we’ve learned a valuable lesson today folks
Diesel: What’s that?
Nori: That the government is using our tax dollars to build evil clones of our friends instead of improving the lives of their citizens.
Rowan: I’m not surprised they would chose to do that instead of help people, they’d sooner spend our tax money on a life-sized statue of Larkin
Larkin: Hey…I got an idea…
Rowan: What have I done…
Diesel: No Larkin, you are not getting a statue of yourself!
Larkin: Well that sucks…it was gonna be green too…
Nori: When will you grow up?
Larkin: Never
Diesel: Maybe it’s better this way
Larkin: You think so?
Rowan:  I think you guys are fine the way your are
And so the merry four party members went on their merry way, to actually go back to the Guild this time
(Chapter End)
== Bonus Chapter: Olivia ==
We open up outside the Guild, and Olivia is sitting nearby, suddenly two figures walk outside the building
Atoll: Ya know, I really wonder if Iseri is gonna stay grandmaster?
Veloct: I honestly don’t think he will, man looks like he’s gonna retire at some point
Atoll: I feel like you might be right about that?
Veloct: See, I got a mind like a race car, moving at two miles per minute, I can grasp things easily 
Suddenly, the two Guild members turn to see Olivia slumped on the steps of the Guild
Veloct: Who’s that?
Olivia: I’m Olivia, thank you for being courteous enough to go introduce yourself.
Veloct: Oh, you like helped save the world 
Olivia: I did
Atoll: Uh why are you just loitering here, I thought you wanted to live your life
Olivia: I did…that’s the whole reason I fought Optica for my own freedom
Veloct: So what’s the problem?
Olivia: Turns out life is so incredibly grand, that I don’t really know what to do?
Atoll: I see, well, let’s go
Olivia: Huh?
Atoll: Let’s go experience life
Veloct: Huh, we’re just gonna go and get out there
Atoll: When was the last time you actually did something fun?
Veloct: Touche, let’s go.
Olivia: So, we’re going
Atoll: Yeah, let’s go right now!
Olivia: Ok…
Olivia, Atoll and Veloct take off into the city 
Begin District 2
When you are halfway through
Olivia: The city is so peaceful 
Atoll: It’s pretty beautiful when everything is not on fire
Veloct: I’m so fast that I experience everything relative to you, yet I feel captured by the majesty of this moment?
Olivia: Now that she’s gone, The City shines as bright as the stars.
Atoll: This is the moments that I fight for?
Veloct: Fighting needs a reason?
Atoll: Most people have one, even if that reason is that you love to fight?
Olivia: What about bad reasons?
Atoll: They’re still reasons…
Resume
When you complete District 2
Veloct: I’m honestly having a blast…
Olivia: This is all the fun I’ve been missing
Atoll: I’m glad this is fun for you
Veloct: We should really go out more
Olivia: Every time the city is in ruins, they somehow rebuild, don’t t they?
Atoll: Yeah, even if it takes years
Veloct: Glad we can see the beauty in life. 
Olivia: Huh…
Begin District 3
When you are halfway through 
Olivia: I wonder….what reason mortals have for living?
Atoll: What’s the reason for life?
Veloct: I’m too young to be waxing philosophical but…I’d say there’s no reason for life, we are so me make the most of living
Atoll: The reason for life is living, but we don’t often think about this because we’re so busy living life in the thick of it.
Olivia: Is that so…
Atoll: We’ve gone so far, why would we turn back now
Resume
When you come across a broken down church
Atoll: Hey…this building?
Veloct: What about it?
Atoll: This is where The First Night Mages killed Sien and Optica’s plan was kicked into full gear
Veloct: What should we do with it?
Olivia: We should set it on fire!
Atoll: Huh?
Olivia: We can say goodbye to old memories and painful starts, we can just look forward to the future then…
Atoll: We’d probably get in trouble even if it’s a good idea
Veloct: Let’s do it anyway
Atoll: Why?
Veloct: Us young people are supposed to be miscreants, and no one is using this place anyway.
Atoll: Fair point
Olivia: I will wait here, you can get everyone else
Olivia waited in front of that Church for Atoll and Veloct arrived with fire supplies
Atoll and Veloct showed up with a cart of Molotov Cocktails and matches, with other people tagging along 
Atoll: We had some other interested parties in setting this church on fire?
Atlantic: Hey Olivia
Olivia: Hey Atlantic
Veloct: Us young people huh
Larkin: Well what’s life if we’re not actively living it?
Vendil: I’ve saved the world too many damn times for my age, I want to do a little bit of mischief
Olivia: Well said I guess
Ehl: If everyone is in agreement I’d love to torch the place
Iehn: We can get pretty crazy huh
Olivia: Oh hey who are you?
Iehn: I’m Iehn, I’m here so you lot of miscreants don’t accidentally hurt yourselves too badly 
Vendil: Aren’t you the same age as us?
Iehn: Well…yeah..
Olivia: You don’t gotta pretend that you wanna light something on fire
Iehn: Eh fair enough
Nori: Hey guys I’m here too
Atoll: Chaperoning Larkin even though you two are similar in age?
Nori: Yup…
Neve: I’m here too
Olivia: Hey
Neve: Hey
Larkin: We don’t really get to see you that often, huh Neve?
Neve: Well I’m busy trying to advocate for the lost culture of my people
Nori: It’s a noble cause
Vendil: Is anyone else gonna join us?
Another person rushes in
Whoyn: Hey guys sorry for being late
Ehl: Oh hey Whoyn
Vendil: Why did I expect you not to show up?
Whoyn: You shouldn’t have, Ghyall is the present and he wants to be there for present moments and I want to light something on fire
Ghyall: It’s true, I wouldn’t want Whoyn to miss hanging out with his friends
Vendil: You really care about your hosts huh
Ghyall: Yes, why?
Olivia: What a benevolent ancient god
Larkin: They’re all benevolent, except Gevhim who tried to kill us
Ehl: He did huh
Vendil: You would never
Olivia: We’re not the things we used to be
Larkin: I’m still a celebrity
Nori: Keep telling yourself that
Olivia: Let him believe what he wants
Iehn: Believe, what do you believe in?
Olivia: I believe in change, and freedom
Atoll: Nice
Atlantic: Hey guys, I know you love your sentimentality, but can we start lighting shit on fire?
Another person arrives suddenly 
Vivuhal: Hey guys…sorry for being late, we’re lighting stuff on fire correct?
Olivia: Yeah you’re cool
Atlantic: Ok, we’re all here now?
Larkin: Well, let’s do this…
Veloct: No time like the present
The group starts grabbing Molotovs and Matches and begin throwing them into the Church, igniting a fire
Suddenly a small group of Light Monsters appear but get burned alive in the flames
Atoll: Give them an A for effort huh?
Iehn: Nah, this is our night
Olivia: I agree
The fire spreads across the church,  and begins climbing up the walls
Iehn: We can do whatever we want, we’re free being after all
Olivia: I most certainly agree
The entire building begins emitting smoke and crumbling into soot and dust 
Atoll: This is our moment and we don’t have to tell a soul about it
The Group pushes the rest of the cart in as The Church continues burning to the ground, they then walk away from the fruit of their labor
Olivia: That was quite fun?
Neve: It really was
Vivuhal: Hey Olivia, that’s your name right?
Olivia: Yeah, what about me?
Vivuhal: I believe I speak for everyone when I say..you should join the guild, we’re all friends and well, we’d love to see you around more often?
Olivia: You really think I should?
Atoll: Why shouldn’t you?
Vivuhal: We’d be really happy to have you
Veloct: I can vouch for everyone when I say there will be no objections
Olivia: Well…I guess I’ll join
Olivia and Co then went back home and Olivia would soon begin her first day as a member of guild life
(Chapter End)
== Bonus Chapter: Thomas ==
We open up on Zkn sitting at a table in the guild with new recruit Thechr sitting across from him
Zkn: It’s kinda hard to believe Thomas and Femmeo are actually swaying a big portion of the Centennials that stayed to join The Guild. 
Thechr:  It’s kind of surprising that they’ve managed to do so much.
Zkn: Maybe we should do some more, don’t you have old crew members?
Thechr: Nah, The Rhea’s Reach is long gone, they’re still sailing out in the deep blue 
Zkn: Huh, isn’t that a little unfortunate
Thechr: It’s fine really, they’re allowed to do whatever they want too
Zkn: Yeah…
Thechr: People have their own choice…it’s what makes life so fulfilling 
Zkn: Hmn…fair enough
Suddenly Thomas and Femmeo emerge on the scene 
Thomas: Hey guys
Zkn: What’s up?
Femmeo: There are reports of some trouble makers not far from here in District 3, want to go take care of them real quick?
Zkn: Yeah sure I’m not doing anything else
Thechr: I’m down
Thomas: Alright let’s go
Femmeo: So happy you two wanna come with…
Thechr: It’s no problem…
Leave The Guild
Begin District 2
When you are halfway through
Thechr: Say, these criminals seem like they’re fleeing from something?
Zkn: Yeah I can definitely sense that 
Thomas: So we might be walking unprepared into something that’s a trap?
Femmeo: More like a fight we’re not ready for?
Zkn: I wonder what we’ll see
Resume
When you reach District 3, a group of Armored Centennials are causing chaos in the streets
Zkn: Huh, well, what do you know?
Centennial Criminal Ringleader: Oh hey, the traitors have showed up
Thechr: Hey is that Ayev, my old first mate?
Ayev: Correct Captain, a title you have long forsaken
Thechr: Hey now, you’re anger at me is no reason for you to be causing all this ruckus 
Ayev: I’m mad at all of you, you’re traitors and sellouts, you shouldn’t even be allowed to call yourselves Centennials anymore!!
Femmeo: Woah now, isn’t that a bit extreme…
Ayev: It’s not really
Zkn: Centennial is who I am, I won’t relinquish that right
Ayev: I’m not going to let you defy my orders?
Femmeo: Orders?
Thomas: You have orders?
Ayev: Yes..I do
Fight against Ayev and The Centennials 
When he is 50% defeated
Ayev: You four may be fighting strong now but I’ll have you know that you won’t stay strong forever
Thomas: Listen, you may feel angry at us for “betraying The Centennials” but truth is that we all have free will and make our own choices
Ayev: What are you saying?
Thomas: By going against the order that is currently in place, YOU are actually the traitors 
Ayev: Excuse me!!
Resume against Ayev 
When you win
Thechr: Ayev, you’re really a sad excuse for a man
Thomas: He’s right ya know
Ayev: My boss…he’s on his way now
Suddenly, a Door busts open and a large figure appears
Centus: Hello old chaps 
Thechr: Centus!!
Thomas: Centus…ya know…you claim to care about Cenetnnials yet you continue to use them endanger the safety of other Centennials who simply don’t wish to cause conflict
Centus: I’ll admit it’s a conundrum but I desire revenge on Humanity for imprisoning us for decades and you four will bear the punishment for everyone who doesn’t want to help me
Suddenly, another Centennial in robes appears with a powerful Tome
Centus: This is Ghq, a sorcerer who had a spell they wanted to test out
Ghq: This spell can turn any Centennial into a Human Being, stripping them of their Centennial identity 
Zkn: What the hell…
Ghq: That’s right, I found a spell like that, it was used by Humans to reward loyal Centennials who had helped them in their wars
Thomas: So you plan to turn us into Humans and deprive us of the identity we have?
Femmeo: It’s not right for you to override our identity with a spell
Ghq: Well then, will you fight to defend your own identity?
Thomas: We will….
Fight against Centus and Ghq
When they are 50% the way defeated
Centus: Ya know…I’ll give you points for being great fighters
Ghq: Truly marvelous stuff
Zkn: Thanks, now can we get back to fighting?
Centus: Sure
When you win
Ghq: My spell is fully charged
Ghq fires the spell, unfortunately he misses the party and accidentally hits a random Bystander
Centennial Bystander: Uh what the hell…I’m a human now…
Ghq: Oh my god I’m so sorry about that
Centus: Ghq, fix your mistake now!
Ghq: On it sir
Thomas: Your making Ghq fix his mistake?
Centus: Why wouldn’t I, that Centennial did not want to be a Human
Femmeo: We don’t want to be Humans either, so by that logic stop trying to turn us into Humans?
Centus: It’s because you work with humans, the ones who imprisoned us
Zkn: The Humans who imprisoned you are long dead, the new generation of Humans wants to help Centennials adjust to modern life, people like you keep endangering the world we’re trying to build
Centus: I’m not following….
Thechr: You want Humanity to suffer, but Humanity is helping build a world where them and Centennials can live side by side, it’s a long road, but once we can cross, when I sailed the high seas, I saw Humans and Centennials manning fishing boats together, your scope is limited to being imprisoned in the Idol of Light and fighting The Century Corps…
Centus: What you’re saying is that you believe in Centennials and Humans working side by side because that’s the only way old scars can heal and create a better world
Thomas: More or less
Centus: I never thought of it like that…
Suddenly Ghq turns that Bystander back into Centennial and sends them on their way
Ghq: Next order sir?
Centus: Turn yourselves in
Ghq: What?
Ayev: WHAT
Thomas: What?
Centus: We’ve done enough damage to the city already, and I think we need to be put away for all the crimes we’ve done
Ghq: Oh, because putting down the cycle of revenge is the only way Society can truly move towards the future?
Centus: You’re exactly right Ghq
Ayev: We’ll I’LL NEVER, I can’t believe…you’d do this…
Centus: Ayev! Stand Down!
Ayev: I’LL NEVER GIVE UP TO PUPPETS OF HUMANITY
Thechr: Captain’s Order Ayev, Stand down!
Ayev: I forsake both of you!!
Centus and Ghq join your party
Fight against Ayev
When you win
Thomas (Cuffing Ayev): That’s enough out of you
Ayev (Being taken away): I’ll never give up!!
Ayev is taken far away into the night
Centus: Forgive me for all my past crimes and then imprison me away
Ghq: As someone who pledges their life and loyalty to Centus, forgive me as well
Thomas: I don’t think just prison is gonna make up for all you’ve done
Ghq: What do you mean?
Femmeo: You want to help build a bright future for Centennials?
Centus: Well it’s something I desire
Thomas: We share that in common so…why don’t I take you somewhere you might be able to repay your karmic debt to the world you wish to help?
We pan back to The Guild
Gladian: I’m shutting this down
Centus: Huh?
Gladian: You’re a known war criminal 
Thomas: So you have three Eldritch Gods in your ranks but you don’t want two people who want to make up for their past actions in your ranks?
Gladian: Well, they’ve been involved in horrifying things and caused the deaths of many people, I don’t think we can let them in
Olivia: Uhm…..
Ghq: What about me? I’m just a guy who’s loyal to Centus?
Gladian: Hmmm….hmmmmm….
Femmeo: Do you have an answer?
Gladian: Ok fine!, I’ll explain your reasoning to Iseri, if he doesn’t like it I’m gonna need those two to take a hike
Centus: That’s very reasonable 
Indica: So why the sudden change of heart?
Centus: Well someone wiser than me showed me that  people make their own choices
Ghq: And that our identities are ours!
Centus: And that if I want to help me people, I’m gonna need to work together with humanity 
Indica: Huh, I guess I can see it…
Zkn: I’m pretty glad we have you here Centus
Centus: I may be once again fighting battles for Humanity but now…I’m of my own free will to do so…
Ghq: So what’s next for us?
Thomas: You’ve got a lot to make up for, but I’ll help you through it
Femmeo:  I will too
Zkn: Me three
Thechr: Me four
Ghq: Thank you…
Thomas: The pleasure is mine…
(Chapter End)
== Bonus Chapter: Holiday ==
Five Years Ago
We open up on The Guild in the past, with Loren and Largo decorating a Christmas Tree 
Loren: It’s that time of the year huh
Largo: Some people really take it overboard but I really do enjoy the season
Loren: The best things are enjoyed in moderation 
Largo: It’s still one of my favorite things
Loren: Heh, you got that right
Vendil: I can join you
A younger Vendil approaches them 
Vendil: It looks like fun
Loren: Oh sure you can
Largo: Ya know Vendil, I wonder if you can turn back the clock for some of the broken ornaments  
Vendil: Sure I can
Loren: Thanks!
Largo: Ya know Vendil it would be really cool if you could help us like this every single year
Vendil: I guess it would
Present Day
We open up on the Guild, with Vendil sitting all alone, contemplating something, various decorations have gone up, while various ornaments adorn the tree
Vendil: What to do? What to do?
Vendil’s contemplation is interrupted by someone he knows very well
Ehl: Hello dude
Vendil: Hey?
Ehl: Why are you all by your lonesome, it’s the holiday season, maybe be more festive 
Vendil: I’m really just not feeling it this year?
Ehl: Why not?
Vendil: Well, there’s something that I want to do, but maybe it’s too late
Ehl: Really, what do you want to do?
Vendil: Well, I’m not sure, but I just know I’m too late
Ehl: Well not if I have anything to say about it?
Vendil: What do you mean by that?
Ehl: Come along with me
Ehl yanks Vendil and brings him up 
Vendil: Ok ok, so what do you want?
Whoyn: Hey guys
Completely unrelated to Ehl’s shtick, Whoyn begins  going on about something 
Whoyn: Happy Hanukkah!!
Vendil: I’m not Jewish?
Whoyn: Take it anyway
Ehl: Whatever, we gotta get Vendil in the Christmas mood
Whoyn: Why do you care so much?
Ehl: Because it’s my first christmas with The Guild, and I don’t want my friends to be frowning, so we gotta help my buddy out
Whoyn: Say Happy Hanukkah back and I will definitely help you
Ehl: Fine, Happy Hanukkah Whoyn…
Vendil: I was gonna say it back anyway, Happy Hanukkah Whoyn!
Whoyn: Alright I’m satisfied 
Vendil: Ok, so let’s go 
???: You guys going somewhere?
Two more Guild Members they’re not familiar with appear 
Endtimes: Hey, My name is Endtimes 
Genesis: And my name is Genesis?
Vendil: Those don’t sound like names?
Ehl: They sound more like omens
Endtimes: Those are our names we swear!
Genesis: Yeah, Loren and Largo told us that the notes that came with us only referred to us by those so those are probably our actual names?
Whoyn: Huh
Vendil: Oh yeah you were the mystery kids who arrived on their door and I was never told about that…
Ehl: Ok so what do you two want?
Genesis: Well…I just want to give back ya know?
Endtimes: My sister and I never really did much since we were never called upon for a crisis or in the guild, so we wanna give back and give stuff to the heroes that defended the city so well…
Genesis: So let us help you!
Ehl: I-
Vendil: Lemme cut you off Ehl, yeah you can come along 
Begin District 2
When you’re 25% through 
Endtimes: The city never ceases to amaze me with how bright everything always is, it’s truly a wonderland come to life.
Whoyn: It’s kinda crazy how everyone pours it in for their decoration  abilities
Ehl: Yeah it’s pretty nuts
Vendil: All those lights still never cease to shine with the light of a thousand stars in the night sky
Resume
When you’re 50% of the way there
Ehl: Weirdly enough, even though this is my first Christmas, I already don’t want it to end
Whoyn: I can’t blame you
Genesis: The fun festivities, the camaraderie, it’s something that you really wouldn’t want to end
Vendil: The city was attacked by Optica not very long ago, and yet everyone is so happy and celebrating. 
Genesis: I wonder how they can still smile throughout all the suffering that has been wrought?
Endtimes: Hard to say?
Vendil:  I think people still come together in spite of everything that happens, and it’s truly wonderful 
Genesis: Maybe you’re right
Resume
When you’re 75% of the way there
Vendil: People cheering, celebrating, partying, it’s something that doesn’t seem to go away huh
Genesis: You’re certainly right about that
Ehl: It’s why I want Vendil to smile instead of sit all alone by himself 
Genesis: It’s noble
Vendil: Well I still need to get Loren and Largo a present
Endtimes: Oh yeah it’d be great to get them stuff 
Whoyn: I also need more Menorah Candles 
Resume
When you’re 100% done, the party turns upon a store 
Vendil: Alright…so what to buy for them
Suddenly, a man bursts out of the store holding a book
Burglar:  This book is mine, I’m taking it with me, it’s worth so much money
Ehl: Not if I have anything to say about it!
Burglar: Oh…there’s five of you…ya know what just lock me up
Whoyn: Smartest Criminal in the city
Vendil: The smart thing to do would be to not commit crime 
Burglar: Wish I knew that 
Genesis cuffs The Burglar 
Burglar: This book is about ancient prophecies that were found in a cave. I was hired to steal  it for some guy who lives nearby.
Genesis: Huh
Vendil: Oh that sounds like something Loren and Largo would be into?
Endtimes: Maybe
Store Clerk: Oh, yeah sure you can have it?
Burglar: Damn, ok well please let me out of prison slightly earlier
Vendil: Can’t promise anything?
They leave The Burglar with the Store Clerk and took it back to the guild
Later That Night
Loren and Largo are working on an invention together, with sweat dripping from their face
Loren: Even on the holidays we’re in overdrive 
Largo: Doesn’t matter, since we do enjoy our work
Suddenly, Vendil, Ehl, Whoyn, Endtimes and Genesis walk behind them
Ehl: Hey!
Largo: Oh hey guys what’s up
Vendil: Well…since every year you do such a good job with christmas, and have done a lot for me over the years, I thought I’d give you a gift
Vendil hands The Book over to The Two
Vendil: We found it on patrol, hope it works for you
Largo and Loren begin going through it
Largo: Hey thanks a lot, we were actually wanting to buy this a while back
Genesis: Glad to hear you like it
Endtimes: Also mind if I lend you a hand?
Loren: Not at all
Loren and Largo begin to smile as Ehl and Vendil retreat from the conversation, as they walk away, a sleigh pulled by eight reindeer passes by the house 
Santa Claus: Merry Christmas to all, and to all…a good night!
