Shade's Journal Entries

*It appears someone has sent these journal entries to the glitz pit itself... strange... Nevertheless you decide to read it...*

## Journal Entry #001

I was exploring these
mines I found... strangely enough they were well kept... but even
stranger is this mineral I found... it is charred black... almost
ominous even... Perhaps this could be used to make the EXE robots
stronger?

## Journal Entry #002

I've made an EXE and I
 put in the mineral that I had taken a shard from... Already I can see
some form of change... The sword he has... it's different... he also
seems to have aura... but how can that be when auras only come from
living things? This requires more research...

## Journal Entry #003

Odd... when battling
the special EXE's blade seems to be doing some sort of special effect on
 the test EXE's... they cannot use their counterstrike and seem to be
weaker... Today I decided to take one of the defeated EXE's and analyze
it, however it will not be ready until tomorrow...

## Journal Entry #004

The analysis is
ready... It does appear that the crystal was the cause of this...
strange effect... yet what is it? It is surely not anything I know
of... And there is no information about it in the glitz pit database...
not even the files I managed to hack in secret have any information...
What the heck did I dig up...?

## Journal Entry #005

Something's wrong...
 the shutdown switch on the special EXE... it... it didn't work...
well... at least... temporarily... I managed to shut him down... but
still... It's like... something was stopping it... I'm not sure if I
should stop the experiments now... surely this is just a glitch...

## Journal Entry #006

It wasn't a
glitch... and that... THING... it should never be released... the
crystal... first it took it all... then it started forming some sort of
wings with the bodies of the EXE's it defeated... I tried to stop it
but... it didn't work... and the self-destruct switch... it didn't work
either... I managed to hide for now but... I know it's coming for me...
I'm it's prey... and there's not much hope for me... oh... oh god... I
hear the door opening... I'm going to stop the journal entry for now and
 hope for the best...

## Journal Entry #007

I... did it...
somehow... However I only managed to seal it somewhere safe and it
required a lot of my troops... I don,t think i'll be able to battle...
that... **corruption**...
 it... it isn't something to be shrugged off... I think I found out how
to remove it though... it's by replenishing your FP... I was lucky
though... I don't know how to handle this now... If i attempt to
transport it... then it might awake... if I keep it there... then the
crystal... it might find a way out... perhaps I should move out
somewhere safer... seal this place off... I just hope any poor suckers
who find themselves in this old place won't have the bad luck of meeting
 him...

## Journal entry #008

It's been a while
since I wrote a journal entry... A few months I think... Ever since my
last journal entry I've changed location and transferred all of my
robots to a safer location... well except for that one... anyhow, I
still do not have information on the mineral I've collected... I wish I
did though... still I think I-

...

This is bad... He's
escaped... I had put security cameras in the old lab... and now he's
escaped... He's already started tearing off the cameras... I ahve to
find a safe place... For now I'll send this to the Pit... it's clear
that's his target... the last of my EXE's that are already there are on
their own... I am shutting down all connections to them and wish them
the best of luck... Same for the fighters... If he manages to enter the
pit... Just run... He may be too much for anyone to fight...

*The journal entries end here... It appears you know who sent these and why... Try to be wary from here on out...*
