The next day, Gladian wakes up to see a brown figure sleeping on a couch near Indica’s bunk, Atoll who is awake, looks at Gladian, he sees his face almost redden.
Atoll: Gladian...what is going on…
Gladian: It’s nothing…
He turns away and stares at a wal, Atoll climbs out of bed, and goes to Breakfast, and sits down with Atlantic, Larkin and Vendil
Atoll: Hey Guys….
Larkin: What’s up, (Loudly Slurps Water out with a straw)
Atlantic: Larkin what did you just say
Larkin: Oh it’s this new expression I’m trying out
Atlantic: Huh….
Vendil: So, Where’s Gladian?, You’re normally always with him
Atlantic looks at Vendil and then at Atoll
Atoll: He’s mad I think? I don’t know about what, maybe about the person sleeping near Indica for some reason?
Atlantic: Well why would he be mad at Him?
Larkin: Maybe because this figure would be taking up time He’d want to spend with her
Vendil: Well why would he be mad about that?, He has been weird around her for a while, I was thinking the violence was beginning to put him off.
Atoll: He’s told me He wants to say something
Larkin (Impersonating Gladian): Indica, will you marry me
Vendil and Larkin burst into uncontrollable laughter so loud they knock over their drinks
Atlantic: Don’t you need to want to be together to get married?
Atoll: I think?? I mean my parents really loved each other and they were married.
Vendil: Gladian will be able to have to look at Indica if he wants to be able to propose
Larkin and Vendil start laughing again
While they laugh, Indica walks by the table with Hudson, and pass to get their trays
Larkin takes a long look at Hudson
Larkin (Whispering into Atoll’s ear): I think you should tell Gladian he’s got competition
Atoll: I guess I could
Husk sits down at their table and they all shuffle awkwardly
Husk: Food? In my mouth where?
Breakfast ends, and Larkin and Vendil are called to the back
Larkin: Oh we gotta go
Atoll: Why is that?
Vendil: We are going on a teleportation mission today, Oceane told me about it before bed
Vendil, Larkin, Oceane, Auralie, Largo and Loren head into a room where Thanna, Cosma and Xen are waiting
Xen: Do all of you know the dangers this mission could bring
Loren: I speak for everyone when I say, we all know this has to be done with timing and we need to signal when we get back to the spot
Cosma: Yeah…
Cosma draws a massive breath
Cosma: If only teleportation was easier
Oceane: As long as you can bring us back, we’ll be fine
Loren: Remember, let’s stick together, we don’t know what we will find
Xen: Cosma and Thanna, you have permission to begin deployment
Thanna and Cosma: Yes sir
Thanna and Cosma begin to cast the rune, and Vendil, Larkin, Oceane, Auralie, Largo and Loen are teleported away, while Thanna and Cosma hold position around the circle to keep the portal open
Vendil, Larkin, Oceane, Auralie, Largo and Loren emerge on the Island, it’s sandy and grainy and the waves are rough, the skies cloud, and a very large mountain and cave system lie further away from the Beach.
Vendil: So, let’s look around
Largo: Let’s not stay too long, we don’t know how long Cosma and Thanna can keep the portal open.
Loren: So, where to go
Larkin: Uh, (Points to the Mountain), Maybe the big mountain should be our priority
Oceane: I mean big doesn’t mean noticeable, we could scour the Ocean
Auralie: But he does have a poin
Unauthorized reproduction: this story has been taken without approval. Report sightings.
Oceane: (Sigh), Let’s go to the mountain then
Begin Island Passageway 1
Midway through Island Passageway 1
Loren: Oceane, do you have any thoughts about this Island
Oceane: It’s plantlife is unlike any other I’ve seen, It’s not in any books I’ve ever read, also the wildlife is weirdly hostile
Largo: When we get back, we should see if people at the port have seen this plantlife before
Vendil: I’ll cast a photo rune
Vendil casts the rune
Gorbuch: Very good,
Vendil: You think
Gorbuch: Your getting better at magic
Auralie: Now we should keep going, we don’t know when the clock will run out
Larkin: ONWARD
Continue Island Passageway 1
End Passageway 1
Larkin: The Mountain is just up ahead
Vendil: Yeah we know
Larkin: Well I just thought I’d say it
Oceane: Well this Island is UNNATURAL
Auralie: What do you mean
Oceane: It has PINE TREES, IN THE PACIFIC OCEAN
Loren: That’s not natural at all
Largo: Oh, well, let’s keep going
We pan back to the Guild, and only Thanna, Cosma, Gladian, Indica, Atoll, Necra, Husk, Falconer, Erhan and Viridian are home.
Gladian: I’ve never seen the Guild this empty before
Indica: Yeah, it’s empty
Gladian starts backing away
Hudson: What’s his deal
Indica: That is Gladian, my best friend here, He’s been fairly rattled lately
Gladian turns away
Hudson: Uh Hi
Gladian(Dryly): Hi
Necra: Well that was very menacing
Husk: F O O D
Falconer: C’mon Husk, you are always hungry, why don’t we do something else
Husk: What did you want to do?
Falconer: I don’t know, I was thinking you could pick
Gladian: Atoll this is pointless, we’re leaving
Viridian: Whoa, we gotta stay for Cosma and Thanna
Erhan: I agree, Gladian,if you leave, you should, First, Give Atoll a say, and Second, have it be for a good reason, not just because Indica
Indica: Excuse me why did you draw me into this
Gladian(Coldly): Fine Erhan
Atoll: Yeesh
Erhan: Yeah….
Hudson: What the hell was that about
Indica(Annoyed): Like I said, he’s rattled
Viridian(Under Her Breath): It’s like a Romance Novel, but in real life
Gladian(Angry): Excuse me
Viridian: Nothing
Then a flash of light appears and flaming hunks of flame appear, burning through the Guild roof,
Solar Scion: Close the Portal and Get the Generator
Viridian: Aw Hell no
Erhan: Let’s show these people they’re not welcome here
Begin A 12 Minute Battle to defend Cosma and Thanna
Battle Ends, Solar Scion appears wounded
Gladian: Not so tough now
Atoll: Yeah Gladian, get emm
Necra: I gotta admit, this is a new experience
Erhan: I’m surprised the Guild itself wasn’t attacked sooner
Solar Scion: FORGET THE PORTAL, GRAB THE GENERATOR!!
Hudson: What cool line do I say
Indica: Not gonna happen
Husk (Eating a Solar Minion): Yeah Not Gonna Happen
Falconer: Oh yikes,
Now Defend The Generator and Portal
Battle ends
Falconer: I think we did a good job
Solar Scion: If I’m going to lose, so will you
Solar Scion plants a solar bomb and flies off with the Generator
Hudson: That’s bad, right??
Indica: It’s very bad
Erhan: We gotta shut that thing off
Cosma: PLEASE DO
We pan back to the island, and the expedition is in a cave system
Larkin: This is the stuff I signed up for
Vendil: I thought you were enrolled in the Guild
Oceane: Does it matter when this cave DEFIES SCIENCE, that spire is growing LATERALLY, LIKE HOW
Loren: I have no idea, let’s just find what we are looking for and get out
Begin Cave Systems 2
Midway through Cave Systems 2
Largo: That doorway is bricked off stalagmites
Oceane: Again with this STUPID UNNATURAL ISLAND
Auralie: Well, time to break in
She fires a volley of bullets breaking the Stalagmites, but they begin growing back
Larkin: Guess we gotta go forward
Gorbuch: Vendil, unleash my force
Vendil: Why
Gorbuch: JUST DO IT
Vendil’s eyes glow purple as the cave breaks down and the doorway opens
Auralie: This island, was BUILT
Oceane: Of course, and because Gorbuch sends civilizations back to any earlier state, he sent this island back in time, and that allows us ingress
Begin Secret Passage
End Secret Passage
A mysterious glow emanates from a stone and begins to light up the whole island
Oceane: Uh What do we do
Larkin: Take it
Loren: Please don’t….
Larkin takes the stone and the island begins crumbling
Vendil: Let’s Get The Fuck Out of Here
Auralie: Language, and yeah let’s make our exit
Go Back Through Secret Passage
End Secret Passage
Go Back Through Cave Systems 2
End Cave Systems 2
Go Back Through Cave Systems 1
End Cave Systems 1
Loren: God, My Legs are tired
Vendil: Rest Later cuz If we don’t get out WE WILL ALL DIE
Loren: We’ll all die anyway
Go Back Through Island Passageway 2
End Island Passageway 2
Oceane: KEEP GOING
Go Back Through Island Passage Way 1
End Island Pasageway 1
Auralie: COSMA AND THANNA
Thanna: ON it…
Those 6 are teleported through and then they are grabbed by Thanna, Cosma, Falconer and Indica as they everyone runs out of the Guild and Thanna launches the Bomb into the sky and light shines through the sky
Gladian: Thank god you guys got back in time
Oceane: If we didn’t get back in time, everything would have been destroyed?
Indica: Yeah….
Erhan: Great Job Thanna
Thanna: Yeah….
Hudson: We all need to cool down after that
Gladian(Glaring at Hudson): Alrighty, we will settle down
After the tense situation they just went through, they all go in separate corners, but Atoll walks over to Erhan
Atoll: Hello…..
Erhan: Hey Atoll, did you want to talk about something
Atoll: How did you know
Erhan: Because I know things are tough for you right now
Atoll: I mean….why is Gladian like this?
Erhan: What do you mean?
Atoll: Like he’s just angrier and more moody now, and he seems real aggressive towards, uh, Hudson?
Erhan: That is his name
Atoll: So, why?, I figured you’d know
Erhan: Well, i said it had to do with Indica, but also his grief
Atoll: Why would it have to do with Indica.
Erhan: Well, I assume he thinks Hudson will take up more of her time than him, he wants to be included
Atoll: That makes sense, I wonder how we can bring them together
Erhan: We can’t, he has to resolve this issue on his own
Atoll: Oh.
Erhan: But you have to be there with him
Atoll: I do
Erhan: You are one of the few people that he talks too now
Atoll: Alrighty.
Erhan: But remember that you have freedom of choice, you can stand up for yourself
Atoll: Ok….
Then we cut away, and people start entering the Guild
