Chains of Nihilantis
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....
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."
"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..
Northing 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.
