Cryptic as always, Bahamut. You have a swell day.

 

[Adamhuarts]

I'll take your word for it then I suppose.

Great. More secrets among the team, though it hardly surprised her anymore. She sighed in frustration and looked around at the empty vacant house.

"I guess it's my job to hold down the fort till they come back."

 

[Namohysip]

I think I know what's going on, Owen said. Sorry, guys. We'll have to wait a few more days.

Wait, isn't our attack on Eien in a few days?

Yeah.

 

[Adamhuarts]

As long as I know they're fine, then that's enough.

 

[Ambyssin]

“Enough, Owen.”

 

[Namohysip]

Well uh, in other news, does--did anybody know about Diyem and Maple fighting? What?

Fighting? Like, a lovers quarrel? Cal quipped.

Wh--no, in the Colosseum. Also don't they kind of have other people?

Aw, c'mon! They're perfect for each other! Two dragon monsters that are Voices with a power of light or dark, it's perfect! I bet Joule and Eien would be good for each other, too. Maybe they can do some date swapping.

I can't believe you came from me.

I can't either!

 

[Ambyssin]

"Get your head out of the gutter. This is not some reality dating show." He paused. "And it sounds like Owen clearly has things he needs to keep talking with that therapist about if this is what he's projected onto his familiar."

 

[Ambyssin]

"We will be meeting at Destiny Tower instead of the guild before we go to the Sea of Wonders. Plan accordingly."

 

[Dragonfree]

Am I the only one who thinks all this is kind of shady as fuck? What the fuck is going on?

 

[Ambyssin]

"Be on-time tomorrow and you'll see."

 

[Flyg0n]

[Bao > Tamale] Bite Coco.

 

[Persephone]

[Tamale > Bao] Why am I biting my daughter?

 

[Namohysip]

...Ahem. I have some news that I would like to share. I am going to be going around to inspect everybody to be sure. I am confident that this was an extreme circumstance... and is not something repeatable.

The world Bahamut came from is filled with distortions to the point where, when I tried to pull Bahamut away, I instead pulled from... a shell of Bahamut. A soulless body. I had never taken a spirit from there, only the memories of an empty body... and then, with my Voice-like attributes, formed a new life from it.

In other words, Bahamut, the one that you know, has memories that mirror the Bahamut of that world. However, he is not the same... and is technically a Cibus native. Or a Voidlands native, my Voidlands. And therefore, when everyone returns to their world... he will be staying with me, as well as the Void Eternas.

Do not be alarmed. I am confident that this is not the case for most, if not all of you. But I am checking to be sure.

 

[Disco]

...What are the signs? How would we know?

 

[Namohysip]

I would have to check your spirit more thoroughly. If you happen to be from a world where your soul was cast aside from your living body, leaving behind some kind of automatous husk... then there is a risk. Otherwise, you should be fine.

Me and Dill just had a really weird encounter in the Central Crossroads.

We were looking for Bean, and ran into a Zygarde, but he looked completely emotionless, and didn't respond to us at all! He also pointed a weird badge at us, which disappeared when he dropped it.

He was also bigger and a bit darker than Bean, so I don't think that's him.

 

[Namohysip]

That's weird, Owen said. Do you think maybe that's Sprout? The Incineroar? Maybe all Zygarde just act that way or someth--

Where was he going. Now. Answer.

 

[unrepentantAuthor]

Ain't fuckin' Sprout, trust me. 'S'a fuckin' outworlder Overseer or I'll eat my own goddamn mane. Everyone getcher fuckin' eyes on the zygarde, now.

 

[IFBench]

I don't know yet, but we're following him.

 

[Namohysip]

TELL ME EXACTLY WHERE HE IS, NOW.

D-Diyem! It's okay! Just check their badges! They're in Central Crossroads, so...

There was a long silence. Diyem wasn't speaking to them.

Diyem?

Cal spoke up. They're heading to Rocky Road. Diyem's badge is there, too.
