The Mana-Verse

[Quickman]

"Keys... find... find them..."

The Professor flailed weakly a few more times before he fell silent again.

[Blue Valkyrie]

((Dun dun duuuun))

[Sakura Leic]

(I really wished there were 5 keys now.)

[Quickman]

((So... what now?  I did my thing.))

[Sakura Leic]

(Well Calien has to make a potion out of the Mushroom and PB needs to start the meeting.  And we need a time skip for both.)

[Blue Valkyrie]

((Waiting on PB yeah, and Wily on Aya's end.))

[Sakura Leic]

(Yeah and by the time the meeting starts the Potion will be done and given to the Prof.)

[Protoman Blues]

Later, in the King's throne room...

"I'd like to thank you all for your diligent efforts in helping to protect my kingdom." King Pyritecrusher stated to Riagan and the party.

"It was not enough, father!" Riagan responded. "These fiends made off with the female Aya."

[Sakura Leic]

"It also seems they stole something in your vault that was Precursor related." Sakura said as Calien started to feed Prof a potion made from the Mushroom.  "Not to mention the Prof is in a terrible state because of them."

[Protoman Blues]

"What is this Precursor you speak of?" the King asked

[Sakura Leic]

"I honestly don't  have a good idea of what they are I just know it's related to the city in the sky, like some sort of Ancient Race."  Sakura tried to explain as best she could "I think Aya and those creepy mask people may be related to them too.  Aya felt different than everyone else here, her Mana is very special.  I think those people who took her felt like Aya too but in a more twisted and sickening way.

That vain lady was also saying something about you guys stealing things from the Precursors or something.  I don't know exactly what she was talking about but she insulted you guys and Riagan calling you thieves, but really she kind of a hypocrit too.

What's more....I think they caused that avalanche to get Aya and that thing they took in the same place so they could take both at the same time."

[Quickman]

The Professor coughed and sputtered a bit as he was fed the bitter potion.  He opened his eyes for a moment before he lapsed back into his fitful sleep.

[Sakura Leic]

"Hopefully that will help him, but the poor guy is far from okay." Calien shook his head.

[Protoman Blues]

"If this whole encounter has taught us anything, father, it's that there is much about the outside world that we are unaware of!" Riagan stated.

"You are correct, my son. Perhaps it's time we learn, if we are to better protect our kingdom."

Riagan looked at his father and heard his words, then looked at the party. "I wish to join our guests on their quest. I let the female Aya be captured in our halls. I owe it to them and to her to aid in her rescue." he said before looking at the group again. "If you will have me..."

[Sakura Leic]

Sakura's eyes widen as she took in what Riagan said, but nodded.

"Your help would definitely be welcomed." Sakura replied. "Not to mention quite a few of us are in the same boat as you guys, we need to learn more about this world too."

[Phi]

"Mm-hm, it'll be great to have you join us, Mr. Riagan!" Pema smiled.

[Fxeni]

"You are welcome to join, Riagan," Fxeni replied. "There's still the matter of how we get to Skull Cove now. I doubt a direct attack would be wise, so we might have to plan something a little more... covert."

[Protoman Blues]

"As I am a stranger to the outside world and your group, I shall follow your lead!" Riagan said. "I swear on the honor of the Dwarves of Gimrak, we shall retrieve your friend!"

"Be brave, my son." the King said. "Know that I am proud of you and that I look forward to hearing tales of your adventures when you return to us!"

"Thank you, father. For everything!"

[Dr. Wily II]

((eeek science ruuuuun!))

Aya struggles at her bindings but without her magic pendant there is little she can do to break free.

The procedure went without much problems... Except for the occasional screams, and squirming. Albertus watched with eager eyes... As the syringe filled with precious... "Fluid". With the syringe full, Albertus watched as Aya's body went limp from exhaustion. Approaching Aya's face again, he could hear panting...

"Ah~ My dear Aile... Being a key... Joo will help me remake the univerze... In MY IMAGE!!"

[Blue Valkyrie]

((Also as of now the Chaos Breach above the dwarven mountain is still there, the party need Aya to close it so theres another good reason for PB to join. For the moment it's too high up to effect anyone unless it starts expanding.

Also poor Aya  ))

[Sakura Leic]

"You are welcome to join, Riagan," Fxeni replied. "There's still the matter of how we get to Skull Cove now. I doubt a direct attack would be wise, so we might have to plan something a little more... covert."

"Covert huh.....you're definitely speaking my language right now." Calien said as he stood up "One of my people's prominent talents are working in the shadows it's our main way of striking believe it or not.  So that's certainly right up our alley."

((Also as of now the Chaos Breach above the dwarven mountain is still there, the party need Aya to close it so theres another good reason for PB to join. For the moment it's too high up to effect anyone unless it starts expanding.

Also poor Aya  ))

(First thing Calien does when we get back is make you new clothes. 

Also should we leave Prof with the Dwarves or would he actually be fit to come with us.  I figure he can fix Aya's necklace while we're away if it's the former, unless it spontaneously fixes itself when Aya is close.)

[Blue Valkyrie]

((Nah I have story stuff in mind for the prof, besides staying behind won't be much fun for Quickie ))

[Quickman]

((Bring him.  He'll be fine soon.  Just needs to sleep it off.))

[Sakura Leic]

(Okay then, also with Sakura being a somewhat klepto would it be possible for her to jack some Precursor documents and stuff.  I can't believe she became a somewhat klepto but considering what I'm going for I am not that surprised.)

[Quickman]

((When and from whom?  They didn't have time to do anything aside from get captured, eat, wander for a few minutes, and go fight.  The Prof has some Precursor stuff in his bag, and that's easily accessible, so anyone could go looking through it when they want.))
