Chains of Nihilantis

Year: 131 CE - 135 CE

Chapter 1

After the events of World War 9, Asophania was lost between dimensions, and was desperately trying to find a way home.

Is anybody there?

Hello?

My pocket dimension device wont let me return..

I can only go to the other dimensions, that idiot must have locked me away from the yata dimension..

I never knew about this dimension. I never put it in my logs....

Zirnec's Symbol

So they'll probably never find me.

Unless I can find a way around this 'lock'....

Asophania opens a portal to another dimension and enters, seeing the Starwars Dimension before deciding to turn back.

Asophania enters a void which was completely dark and all attempts to exit failed, with the only sound being wind. There was some kind of presence here that Asophania was unaware of until they flicked a light switch with a strange symbol.

"G R E E T I N G S , A S O P H A N I A"

Asophania says hold on how do you- know... my... name...........

"W H Y    A R E    Y O U   H E R E ?"

I'm trying to find my home dimension...

Because some entity locked me out of it...

Threw me into another dimension.

"I SEE WE HAVE SOMETHING IN COMMON, ASOPHANIA."

"I LOST MY HOME ASWELL."

Hm?

You were trapped here too?

"YES, WE HAVE THAT IN COMMON."

Asophania says who.. are you...

"THAT IS NOT IMPORTANT."

...

The presence revealed itself as a group of advanced robotic beings

"BOTH OF US HAVE BEEN WRONGED."

...............

"IF WE WORK TOGETHER, OUR WRONGING COULD BE UNDONE."

Really?

"YES."

"TOGETHER WE COULD DO SUCH GREAT THINGS."

What is your home dimension then?

"IT SEEMS WE SHARE THE SAME HOME."

"I WAS BANISHED LONG AGO."

Oh..

"IT APPEARS THE SAME ONE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR BOTH OF OUR BANISHMENT."

"HE IS CORRUPT. HE ELIMINATES ANYONE WHO GOES OUT OF LINE."

N..Nihilantis?

"YES."

Oh...

"HE USES HIS UNIVERSAL RULES AS A EXCUSE."

"TO FORWARD HIS CORRUPTION."

Yes...

YES!

You're right!

T..there's no such thing as castrovalence!

It's...

It's all a show!

"I'M GLAD WE'RE ON THE SAME PAGE."

"CASTROVALENCE IS A EXCUSE TO PUNISH PEOPLE FOR ANYTHING THEY DONT LIKE"

"THEY ARE CRUEL, AND THINK THEY CAN DO WHATEVER THEY WANT"

"LIFE MUST FIND THE TRUTH."

Yes.

"IT MUST BE LIBERATED FROM THEM"

"THEY MUST BE BROUGHT TO JUSTICE"

"DO YOU UNDERSTAND?"

YES!!!!!!

"WE MUST FIND A WAY PAST THEIR BLOCKAGE."

YES!

"DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEAS ON HOW IT CAN BE BYPASSED."

I...

I could find a dimension where I can bypass it.

"I WILL ASSIST YOU."

"I KNEW YOU WERE LIKE ME IN MY SITUATION, SO I OPENED UP THIS REALM FOR YOU TO ENTER."

"I HOPED I COULD FIND SOMEONE WHO COULD HELP."

Alright..

"AND I DID."

"AND IT SEEMS YOU DID FIND SOMEONE WHO CAN HELP ASWELL."

"LET US BEGIN WORK ON OUR RETURN TO OUR WORLD."

Yes.

"ARE YOU STILL NEW TO BEING OUTSIDE OF OUR DIMENSION?"

"IF YOU ARE, THERE IS SOMETHING I MAY NEED TO WARN YOU ABOUT."

"EVERY DIMENSION EXCEPT OUR HOME IS UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF THE LEADER."

Asophania finds a computer in the dimension

Asophania turns it on

>enter >Dimension:Div:79.RedLeader.0/3

"BEWARE OF HIS EFFECTS, HE USES VOID ENERGY TO CONTROL EXISTENCE."

"HE NEARLY CORRUPTED ME."

Asophania says void energy...

"I HAD TO MERGE WITH IT TO STAY IS MYSELF."

Oh.

"HE CANNOT CONTROL ME, HOWEVER I AM FORCED TO USE IT OR I WILL GET CORRUPTED."

"UNTIL WE ARE HOME YOU WILL HAVE TO GET USED TO VOID ENERGY BEING EVERYWHERE."

..

Asophania says I must get out quickly.

the computer flashes

.................

Booting.

"BY THAT YOU MEAN WE OF COURSE?"

Yes, sorry.

Hello.

I am ILCADOS.

Short for Intelligent Lifeform Computer and Disk Operating System.

What do you require?

Asophania says I gave you a dimensional code.

Asophania says can you link me back to this dimension?

Processing. Please give me a few-f    e               w                                f                                                           e                                                                  w              m i        n  u                t                                     e                           s............

chuckle

Good news. I just remembered what that dimensional code links to.

You're from that planet, right?

In fact, I was able to find it so quickly because I'm already there.

I was in this dimension too, banished.

I was banished at least 1000 years ago.

I still remember the name of my creator.

They were called Zantozacoria.

They created me as part of one of their palaces.

I was given control over the whole area.

I was treated like a friend.

But one day, I was thrown away.

They were using me like a tool.

Pumping massive amounts of energy into me to try and enhance me.

Well, what they didn't know is that I felt pain.

Robots do feel pain.

They feel pure emotion.

They took advantage of my euphoric bonding reactions to produce energy.

Then they installed a tumour on me.

Some kind of device that..

It was filled with this pink fluid.

It wasn't Zantozacoria that installed this tumour however.

In fact.. I cant even remember.

I want to get back to the dimension. So I sent a computer virus.

I don't want bloodshed.

I want the truth.

Asophania says so you're able to take all three of us back?

ILCADOS says i think it could be ready shortly.

Asophania says who knew getting out would be so easy!

ILCADOS says but what comes after wont.

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN WITH, WHAT COMES AFTER."

ILCADOS says Nihilantis covers up its tracks.

No one will remember you.

Asophania says what?

But what about all the things I did for my kind?

ILCADOS says I can say with confidence that... you were replaced.

I don't know who by. My virus hasn't begun interdimensional transmitting although it should have done so months ago.

"INTERESTING, I WONDER IF I WAS REPLACED TOO."

Asophania says well I can help with that

do you remember when you were banished?

"MMM.."

"IT IS LONG AGO."

"MY INTERNAL CLOCK IS DAMAGED, SO I CANNOT BE CERTAIN"

"MY CALCULATIONS ASSUME IT COULD BE MORE THAN 100 YEARS AGO."

ILCADOS says almost ready

"HOPEFULLY I WILL BE ABLE TO REPAIR MYSELF ONCE WE ARE THERE."

a glimmer of light begins expanding

ILCADOS dispenses a floppy disk and a voice receiver

ILCADOS says put my memory in the receiver so I can come with you

Asophania does that as the portal opens

ILCADOS says it's ready! go!

All three go through

Asophania says ow... nosebleed

ILCADOS says too much interdimensional travel can make you light headed

"I CAN TRUST YOU IT SEEMS, LET ME REVEAL MY NAME."

ILCADOS says for a start where are we?

Asophania says ok

"MY NAME IS ZIRNEC."

Asophania says tell me more...

Where were you?

"WE MOST LIKELY COME FROM THE SAME WORLD."

ILCADOS says i linked with my vi-

What the hell?

It's programming...

It's gone rogue...

"THAT DOESN'T SOUND VERY GOOD."

It's shut itself in the facility.

I can still access the data however

We appear to be in a place called...

They uh...

Asophania says what do you mean they uh?

ILCADOS says that's what its called, they uh.

"WHERE IS THE FACILITY LOCATED?"

"IS IT FAR?"

Asophania says don't you mean theia ?

Asophania says i can remember

It was in a mountain range called the zagros mountains

"ZAGROS.."

"SOUNDS FAMMILEAR."

ILCADOS says well we are in a mountain region but i can't match to anything in this map.

I think we are on another pl-

A distant voice exclaimed "Hello?"

Asophania says what was that...

ILCADOS says i think it came from the distance..

A man riding a panda approaches

Gensokyo says asophania...

Asophania says GENSOKYO?!

How do you remember me...

Gensokyo says my barrier remember? Im in a different dimension.

Nihilantis was clever enough to remember to lock my dimension away from you but they forgot that they cannot control MY dimension!

"NICE TO MEET YOU GENSOKYO."

Unfortunately no one will believe me if i told about you asophania...

Gensokyo says nice to meet you two.

The receiver begins to shock Aso's hand

Asophania says ow...

ILCADOS says that's the euphoric bonding, haha.

Gensokyo says come into the village.

They all follow Gensokyo

Zirnec looks around to see if there's anything it can repair itself with

Gensokyo says so.

I can more than easily secure your passage back to yata.

But getting along there will be tough.

To them you are aliens.

Only the rogue ILCADOS will recognise you.

Gensokyo says well let me explain your fates.

Im not so sure on zirnec but

Zirnec says "DO YOU HAPPEN TO HAVE ANYTHING THAT I CAN USE TO FIX MYSELF..?"

Gensokyo says what do you mean?

Zirnec says "SOME PARTS OF ME ARE DAMAGED, SO IF YOU HAPPEN TO HAVE ANY MATERIALS I COULD USE TO REPAIR MYSELF COULD BE USEFUL., IT IS OK IF YOU DONT THOUGH."

Gensokyo says i have plenty of metal

But any advanced parts you will need to get passage to yata to find.

Asophania.

I don't know what happened..

But all of a sudden Alyphia came back.

Asophania says my wish worked...

But in return I wiped myself.

Gensokyo says yes. And denasola replaced you.

Asophania says WHAT.

DENASOLA?

Zirnec arms turn into multiple tools it uses to repair itself it takes the metal, opening itself and begins repairing its components

THE DENASOLINS REPLACED ME?

Gensokyo says yes.

History was rewritten.

There was never an asophania, only a denasola.

Asophania says what about that one time denasola took over?

Gensokyo says oh, youre talking about the Tritonian invasion?

Asophania says the wh- anyways.

Gensokyo says ILCADOS.

You encountered nihilantis right?

ILCADOS says yes.

Gensokyo says what did you wish for?

ILCADOS says i wished that zantozacoria would be slaughtered. But i didn't know I would be banished..

Asophania says hold up.

You.

WHAT?

ILCADOS says what? What did I do?

Asophania says you ordered a country to be slaughtered...

Who even were they?

ILCADOS says i vaguely remember them being slightly blue.

ASOPHANIA SAYS ...

Asophania says oh my god. Look.

You did nothing wrong, ok?

Just give me time to think...

ILCADOS says right..

Asophania leaves the room suddenly

Gensokyo says he looks troubled..

ILCADOS says i don't know what i did wrong..

Gensokyo says ILCADOS look.

Zirnec says MAyyyyybe 1010110100 they have a conn101001ection to !zant01010101010ozacoria010101010 . . .           . . . REFRESHING, REFRESHING

Nihilantis granted your wish...

Zantozacoria was slaughtered.

By their rescuers.

Your wish must have changed the course of history instead of the past.

Gensokyo says there's a race called the iujado.

What i think happened is that..

Your wish must have changed the timeline from a passive iujado to an aggressive iujado timeline.

That's why in year 12 the iujado came...

and slaughtered zantozacoria.

ILCADOS says how many people died because of my wish?

Gensokyo says .. Hmm..

Id say around...

Minus 75 million.

Net deaths.

That's still 35 million, sorry buddy.

ILCADOS says ... euphoric levels dropping

Gensokyo says ah !

Asophania re-enters

Gensokyo says we have yet to figure out 3 things.

What replaced zirnec

What zirnec wished for in its encounter with nihilantis

and what changed as a result.

Zirnec says STARTING UP

Zirnec says I'm done, this should do for now.

Gensokyo says tell me.

What did you wish for?

Zirnec says I dont know if i habve it in primary storage

It might be in the back of my old memory drives, But that could take a while to find.

Well...

Maybe there's a way we can figure out who zirnec was.

Asophania says you said 100 years ago right..

That's not prehistory.

Around then

My internal clock was damaged.

Gensokyo says so something must have happened between 0-30

That caused the timeline to change but resulting in Zirnec getting wiped.

Asophania says im not that educated on 0-30 years so i wouldn't know

Zirnec says Hum.

Gensokyo gives Zirnec a yata history book

Try this.

Zirnec

Try looking at the history

Zirnec says Mm..

Nothing really seems very striking.

SCANNING

Hmm..

Maybe it has something to do with "Omnia".

Well history was covered in its tracks somehow..

It could be anything.

For all we know you could have been a country in France and you were replaced by yetia.

ILCADOS wasn't replaced.

Maybe same happened to me?

Asophania says or maybe ILCADOS was the odd one out on purpose..

To facilitate the iujado invasion?

Maybe that was just a one off.

But its always a possibility.

Either the future was altered or history was rewritten.

Chapter 2

As Apothelis and Yetia discussed what was going on in Tritonia, a Genian ship landed in Tehran with Zirnec, New Asophania, and Ilcadia onboard. Gensokyo introduced them as some of its citizens and robots.

Ilcados says so this is planet Yata...

^BEEP

^{Minerals extracted. Connections secure.}

Ilcados says what's that?

Gensokyo says ilcados that's you.

That is your replacement..

So we know what Aso's wish and replacement was, as well as ILCADOS'..

Zirnec says I do not know.

Zirnec says wait I'm detecting something

. . .

huh

That's strange

Zirnec says I'm detecting something underground...

Ilcados says What's the plan

Gensokyo says I have a contact that can transfer you both into human form.

Zirnec says I'm trying to scan the thing I picked up

. . . Wait

That's a sentience disc

Only one of those ever existed

That is the sentience disc

Gensokyo says What's that?

Omnia once produced a disk which if inserted into a robot will give it sapience.

I detected it buried under at coordinates 44.278527, 6.555208.

Gensokyo says but..

You both already have that.

.......Unless..

Unless th-

Maybe I was inserted with it?

Ilcados says Unless Zirnec wished that all robots had their intelligence stripped.

Maybe omnia made me?

Preserving Zirnec's intelligence... but wiping the rest?

Zirnec says I don't recall...

I think..

Omnia made me?

Hm..

How would "rogue ICLADOS" hack us?

We aren't connected to any kind of internet.

It's still working to send out a signal to hack all computer based forms.

Internet or not.

Like an EMP.

Gensokyo says transmuting back into human form.

My uh... contact.. has only performed this once.

On a test robot.

Isn't there a way to stop it from affecting?

. . . Without leaving my body?

It's a conscience transfer.

If all goes well, you'll be 100% biological.

That doesnt sound very appealing

Cant i like cut off all my transmitters. To stop it..?

All outwards signal?

Ilcados says i'm telling you.

It won't work, Zirnec.

. . .

What will happen to my body

Your body will be preserved.

Will i get it back?

When the threat has passed.

Gensokyo says we have arrived

They enter a facility on the gulf coast.

??? says hello.

Gensokyo says hello. we are here for the procedure.

??? says as you wish. Do you have the money?

Gensokyo says Yes.

Gensokyo pays them in Tritonian Rubles.

Ilcados first.

Ilcados receiver is connected.

A human female body is lying comatose in an operating theatre be.

Ilcados says will this hurt?

??? says hmmmm. I can't remember! procedure starts

Ilcados says ........

Gensokyo says what is going on?

Gensokyo says It didn't work...?

??? says No. Give it time Gensokyo.

The female body begins to twitch.

It twitches faster and harder.

Suddenly it sits up extremely quickly.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"

Gensokyo says holy FUCK

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA♒︎♏︎●︎◻︎♒︎♏︎●︎◻︎♒︎♏︎●︎◻︎♒︎♏︎●︎◻︎♒︎♏︎●︎◻︎♒︎♏︎●︎◻︎♒︎♏︎●︎◻︎♒︎♏︎●︎◻︎♒︎♏︎●︎◻︎♒︎♏︎●︎◻︎♒︎♏︎●︎◻︎♒︎♏︎●︎◻︎♒︎♏︎●︎◻︎♒︎♏︎●︎◻︎♒︎♏︎●︎◻︎♒︎♏︎●︎◻︎♒︎♏︎●︎◻︎♒︎♏︎●︎◻︎♒︎♏︎●︎◻︎♒︎♏︎●︎◻︎♒︎♏︎●︎◻︎♒︎♏︎●︎◻︎♒︎♏︎●︎◻︎"

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa**aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa**aaaaaaaaa

Gensokyo says....... Ilcadia?

Ilcadia says oh.... oh it worked....

I'm alive... I still remember...

My skin...

It all feels so... real...

Heartbeat.. pulse... badum... badum....

Fingers...

Hair....

Ilcadia stands up

Ow...

I feel... weight..

Walking... feet.... arms...

I... uh,.....

Ilcadia passes out

Zirnec says AAAAAAAAAAA9IJS0IHDI0HNSIPHNE0IUND97YND9UHND9UHD9UHDN9UHD fine i'll do it. PKNOKNOJEPOJNEPONEJPOENPOJE

Ok.

Plug in, A male body is on another bed

Gensokyo says Good luck....

??? says PROCEDURE START!

Zirnec says AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

From what I've observed, Zirnec, what Ilcadia was saying was the sign of her intelligence being slowly drained.

So I wouldn't worry too much about it.

Just let the process take over.

Let go...

Aaaaaa

Aa

a

The male body begins to twitch.

a

Gensokyo says It's transferring!

It begins twitching harder.

aa

Aaa

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAv

What is t h i s

No   t nic   e

Ilcadia says hm...

How come I get so accustomed to it so easily?

Searching databas- i mean..

I dont have to say that out loud anymore..

......

.......

....

.

.

I think i was human before...

Zirnec on the other hand...

We need to like..

Teach him how to walk and all..

Aso says Bruh..

Zirnec says wh    at is th    is

Why do i feel pressure what

Ilcadia says I know.

You'll need to learn being human at least for a while.

Zirnec doesn't know how to breathe.

Zirnec says Why is this stinging?

Ilcadia says ZIRNEC BREATHE

Asophania begins chest compressions to make Zirnec breathe

Zirnec says ow that stings

To breathe you need to talk the other way so instead of speaking out

Zirnec says Ohhhh.

Speak IN without speaking.

Try that Zirnec?

HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

KKHGHJHFHOOOOOOOOUOOUUUUUOOOOOOOOOO

Asophania starts laughing hysterically.

Ilcadia says NOOOO

DO IT QUIETLY

hhhhh

GDJDBFBJFDJKBBKHKBUOOOO

why does my memory disc feel stinging

Mmm

SNIFFF

PHHFOOFOOOWOOOO

Quieter.

sniff

Fooh...

I think..

Im getting it.

Yes.

I think I got it.

But why...

Why do I need to do that...

It keeps humans alive.

Uh... right.

They need oxygen to keep their cells alive

Oh

..

Chapter 3

Due to the events of the Apothilene-Tritonian War, the quartet had to quickly evacuate Apothelis and flee to Denasola, much to New Asophania's annoyance.

Aso says How are we gonna sort this whole Denasola thing out Gensokyo?

Gensokyo says Well you see..

It's embedded in the timeline.

So.... There's nothing we can do, Aso, other than you start anew.

Aso says N...No! I must have my laboratories back! I must continue my work!

Gensokyo says You already are.

You and Denasola are the same. The only difference is that you remember being wiped.

Denasola just carried on as normal...

And it's the same for anyone else who wished.

Ilcadia says So because I altered the future not the past... Then the past me was removed.

Gensokyo says Exactly Ilcadia..

The plane lands in New South City airport

Aso says... It hasn't changed.

My city is still the same.

Ilcadia says Go easy. You wished this upon yourself.

Gensokyo says But not on purpose...

Suddenly an alarm goes off in the domes; WARNING TEMPERATURE CONTROL SYSTEM HAS FAILED.

Aso says I'll go. I need to prove to them I am the real one..

Gensokyo says I wouldn't.

But if it helps you sleep at night...

Zirnec says Uh, but they don't remember you right?

Ilcadia says right?!

How can you prove you are the real one?

If they don't know who you are?

Aso says The pocket dimensions.

And also.. You see..

This timeline has a small imperfection.

I was performing maintenance just before YNF took over.

And it was going smoothly until now

I'm the only one who can fix it.

Aso goes to control room to fix the climate machine.

Denasola says Hey you can't be in here!

Aso says I'm fixing the problem. Stand back.

Give me a-

CLIMATE CONTROL BACK ONLINE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE.

Denasola says Wh- H- How?

How did you know how to do that?

Aso says I've worked on many climate systems before.

If this is your first time in such a field I wouldn't expect much either.

Denasola says ..... Right..besides thank you.

Are you staying in Denasola?

Aso says Yes for a while.

Denasola says well... Please do come back if we report any more issues.

Aso returned to the others.

Gensokyo says So about your proving plan...

Gensokyo says Is it that necessary?

Aso says yes!

There's work I must continue in the labs here that only I know what I need to do.

Gensokyo says Is it important?

Aso says It's polishing up the short range teleportation technology.

Gensokyo says And how can we sort that out?

They won't just surrender their existence to you.

Aso says Perhaps not.

Zirnec says Well what are we going to do in New South City...?

Ilcadia says Presumably convince Denasola to let Aso continue his work...

It could help us against ILCADOS!

Zirnec says True...

Chapter 4

Zirnec says So how do we convince Denasola..?

Gensokyo says Zirnec no.

Asophania is just... bothered by it.

There's nothing we can do.

Oh.

Well what are we doing here then?

How will being in NSC help

Gensokyo says Hold on.

Gensokyo says Denasola

Denasola says Yes Genny

Gensokyo says Are you currently using the teleporter chamber room?

Denasola says No. Do you need it?

Gensokyo says Yes, in fact i do.

Before the Tritonia Coup, they tasked me with some experiments in there.

Denasola says Well sure its all yours!

Gensokyo says Alright!

They go to the chamber

Zirnec says They have a teleporter?

Yeah.

Gensokyo says If we find a way to loop around the samnsotitanium shield, we can get the exact coordinates to teleport exactly into the lab.

The other one I mean. As in ILCADOS.

Also, NSC is one of the safest cities in the world as well.

We are better off here.

Huh

Well how will we find a way to loop around the shield?

Aso says That's what I was working on.

I saw in many pocket dimensions that people were using samnso-titanium technology to scramble co-ordinates.

Hmm

maybe we can just check the coordinates from before the scramble?

That's the problem.

The technology, it's almost like..

It's warping spacetime to physically... CHANGE the coordinates..

Oh.

Well how will we find the coordinates then?

Aso says if I can enhance the teleporter with specific devices in a way that it can, just before teleportation, locate the original coordinate and fight back against the warping itself.

Do you have any ideas on how to do that..?

Aso says that's why we are here..

To find out for ourselves.

Well alright.

Gensokyo says on the other hand...

Zirnec.

We still need to find out what you wished for.. and the consequences of such.

It could really help us crack the codes..

Zirnec says Well I dont remember what I wished for and now I cant search for it at all.

I meant as in...

It could help us to understand more about what Nihilantis is doing

Zirnec says I dont remember it at all.

Alright..

How can we even figure it out..?

Zirnec, do you remember what you were before?

No

I don't.

Alright...

Perhaps you wished... your memory away?

Well I dont know..

Maybe you..

Wanted to get rid of guilt..

But in turn you got rid of yourself..

Huh

We cant be sure can we...

Well...

..

Zirnec... I really don't know either.

Maybe we'll never know if i did that? but we cant know if i did that either.

Hum..

...

Warning sirens are heard.

ILCADOS says Now is the time..

The time for.. what?

Gensokyo says Uh oh...

Ilcadia says What's happening?

Denasola says Our systems have detected a weapon has been armed in Apothelis.

This is a DEFCON 3 WARNING. Weapons of nuclear potential have been armed in - Apothelis.

Zirnec says Uh oh.

Please retreat underground immediately until further notice.

Asophania says Uh ohh.. And most of the time when i was.. Well... You know.. These were incredibly accurate.

WARNING. DEFCON 2. WARNING. DEFCON 2. WEAPONS OF NUCLEAR THREAT HAVE BEEN LAUNCHED.

Zirnec says What's going on...

. . .

WARNING. WARNING. WARNING. RETREAT UNDERGROUND IMMEDIATELY. WEAPONS OF NUCLEAR THREAT HAVE BEEN TRACED TO STRIKE DENASOLA.

Holy shit..

WARNING.

WARNING.

WARNING.

WARNING.

WARNING.

WARNING.

WARNING.

WARNING.

WARNING.

The ground rings like a bell.

.....

Asophania gets up

My head hurts...

Gensokyo says We just... got... nuked?!

Zirnec says But by who?

Ilcadia says ....Me.

Lockdown is in full effect. DO NOT exit the facility.

Zirnec says Uh you..?

You

Nuked it?

No..not me..

Ilcados.

Chapter 5

Denasola was greatly concerned by the Battle of Vannakaram.

Denasola says Someone invaded the vannakaram base....

Denasola says Hmmmm

Who was it-

Wh-

Knock knock knock knock knock...

Ilcadia says Zirnec they are knocking...

Denasola knocks loudly on sector N door

Zirnec says Uh...

Denasola kicks the door down.

Denasola says So you were the one who invaded Vannakaram base, you're their leader?

Ilcadia says Who?!?!

Denasola points at aso

Aso says  ...

Gensokyo says Aso you have endangered the mission...

Aso says  ...

Why are you defending land that isn't yours?

Denasola says What do you mean?! This has always been my land!!

Asophania says I can't fucking take this anymore.

Asophania has always owned Antarctica. You're just a fraud.

Zirnec says Oh no.

Ilcadia says What's happening?!?!

Gensokyo says The Void Energy... Aso has let it get to his head...

Zirnec says He still has it in him..?

Gensokyo says The Void Energy deposited itself in Zirnec's old body..

So Asophania still retains theirs.

Zirnec says I was in there for.. long and I didn't lose control.

Aso says "Begin" into a remote control.

Aso says Get out of my land.

Denasola says This NEVER WAS YOUR LAND.

Aso grabs a knife and stabs the guard in the chest.

Zirnec says He must be healed from it...

NO.

Or.. uh.. WH-

Zirnec says HE COULD HAVE LONG LASTING MENTAL DAMAGE OR TOO HIGH CONTACT COULD CAUSE MUTATIONS, EXTREME AMMOUNTS AND WHEN HE DIES A VOID MONSTER-

GET. stab THE.  stab FUCK.  stab OUT.  stab OF.  stab MY.  stab LAND!!!!!

The guard is bleeding in 8 places.

They fall to the ground and die.

Asophania, covered in blood, grips their knife and runs out.

ILCADOS says Target acquired. Retrieving.

Zirnec says Gensokyo he has to be healed or he could have long lasting mental damage or worse.. And if he dies he could resurrect as a void monster...

Aso appears in ILCADOS' chamber.

ILCADOS picks the passed out Aso and stabs it with a large syringe.

Slowly it begins extracting cerebospinal fluid and replacing it with a purple liquid.

Once done, it drops Aso, and returns it to Dena.

ILCADOS says Fly my little soldier.

Aso says into radio "Turn effort around. Initiate plan 7. Over."

Aso disappears into the facility, screams echoing around it.

Zirnec says We should find him...

He ran off somewhere..

Gensokyo says Everyone in the teleporter.

Its too late for Aso.

Im so sorry....

Ilcadia breathes shakily.

Ilcadia steps on platform.

What happened to..

Aso...

Gensokyo says I don't know.. But its too late.

...

I'll prepare the teleporter sequence, get inside quickly.

Everyone got inside.

Gensokyo shuts the gate and stays on the other side.

The platform goes up slowly as they watch Gensokyo use the controls

Gensokyo presses a big button and then walks over to the middle of the room to wave goodbye.

Gensokyo says I'm going to the airport to help civilians get off by foot before the ARF catches them.

Ilcadia says Where should we meet then?

Gensokyo says I set the destination to Tritonia City.

ARF?

Did you just say Tritonia City??!!

Gensokyo says Asophanian Revolutionary Front.

Theres a revolution?!

Gensokyo says It's going to send you there then slingshot you across.

What do you mean by that?

More like changing stations, but it takes like a millisecond.

Tritonia is dangerous!

By then you'll be in... Cotunauinia

Well.. see you there then..?

Gensokyo says Ill try and get there as fast as I can before i- AAAAHAHHHHHHHHHHHH

Gensokyo falls to the ground bleeding out, Asophania is behind them

Asophania says ha. Ha....... Aaha........

The teleporter begins to whirr around them as Gensokyo falls dead

HAHAHAHA

HAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAGAGAHAGAH-

Zirnec says I...

They teleport away.

They teleport to Tritonia City and then to Cotunauinia.

Ilcadia gets off the floor in Cotunauinia.

3 people are standing around them.

Cotunauinia says ...

We were monitoring the comms at the time..

We lost Gensokyo's best agent, if not one of the best agents.

Brazil says We don't know what could happen next but we think Gensokyo is going to raise the barrier again and shut themselves off.

Tritonien says Gensokyo no like person die.... Gensokyo no take death of one own lightly.

So gensokyo hide.

Brazil says We are so sorry you two had to go through this.

But you are ok here, we are safe.

Cotunauinia says we are well within safe borders here

Brazil says i think war is slowly approaching..

Zirnec says ..y....es

Tritonien says I agree yes son is anger and son like bad persons.

Cotunauinia says So with Gen and Aso gone the work against ILCADOS especially is gone too so we are back to square one.

Zirnec says I...Ok....a....y.

For the World stage, well, Brazil is working on that

Tritonien says And Theia stage yes perform! Fly to Gensokyo and say come back yes. Need Macana and Cata too yes.
