"Well, shit," Nate said, staring at the churning storm of energy that gushed from the ruins of the tree. Fuck's sake. They'd been so close. They'd been so goddamned close. After a minute or so he started to struggle in Rocky's grasp. "Put me down, you fuck." The familiar absently set the...

The seal broke, and some kind of tree sprouted from the ground below it. Nate stared as it grew and unfurled and dropped some kind of prismatic fruit. Well, okay. At least the fruit seemed friendly. After that, things happened very fast. Bahamut! Owen! What the fuck is-- But he couldn't make...

I know. Don't seem like a reason not to try.

Good Christ. And Nate had almost managed to forget how much of a fucked-up bastard Bahamut was. Yeah, well, the idea would be to be to remember it before it was a fucking crater. I sure as fuck hope the guy can't relate to that.

The fucking mewtwo. Nate grimaced. There sure as hell hadn't seemed like there was any way to get through to the guy. Not like he hadn't tried, but... Maybe he hadn't worked hard enough at it. He hadn't. Definitely not. If Bahamut thought there was a way, then hell, he and Owen probably had a...

Nate picked his way across the uneven floor, following Rocky with Xernatus at his side. He couldn't relax, even knowing that Diyem seemed to have Maple under control and Bahamut and Owen were handling the other problems. This place was so fucking creepy. It was hard to believe that something...

I'm here! Rocky called to Nate, and the marshtomp relaxed, absently putting out a hand to lean against the wall. What the fuck was that about? Why weren't you answering? I didn't want the mewtwo to hear! Rocky rolled out around a tree root and over to where Nate stood. He didn't want to go...

Nate came panting up behind Owen, a little unsteady on his feet. For fuck's sake, he couldn't believe evolving made him miss having to run around on all fours. It didn't take long to take in the situation, considering Eien was fucking huge and right there. But his heart sped when he saw the...

Nate frowned at the ceiling; without realizing it, he was mirroring Owen's tendency to stare while he talked over telepathy. Reluctantly, he responded. Yeah. We know where the mewtwo is. More or less. We need to figure out what's going on with Eien, too. He sent another thought reaching towards...

Rocky got rolling again, now and then emitting a burst of golden light. He only hoped that everybody could feel it even all the way in the Voidlands, in Maple's Voidlands, however far away that was. Marshtomp was distant now, too. Rocky was nervous. It didn't feel like he should be, even though...

Rocky trundled through the tree's inner corridors, powering up over the humps of twisting roots and then letting gravity pull him into a long roll down their far sides. It might almost have been fun, but... This was a sad place. The walls were scarred and blackened, and the whole place shook...

Nate's stomach lurched when Maple charged them, snarling nonsense and spattered with corruption. Fuck. Right. Just another goddamn stupid fight. Get ready! he thought at Rocky, who was staring at Maple, transfixed. I--I--yes! The familiar looked nervously back at Nate. The marshtomp could feel...

Nate nodded to Xernatus. "Yeah, if you could, that would be great. Dunno that we'd find nothing, but... dunno whether we'll get another chance to look, neither." He looked up at the dark opening in the tree, its glow faded and its trunk cracked and twisted. "Must be hard, seeing the place like...

It was a small group convening in the tree of life. A lot of people had decided they wanted to go to nightmare hell, for whatever fucking reason. Rocky among them. "Vix is supposed to be there, isn't she? I still need to talk to her," the familiar said, picking at the strap of his item bag...

Nate kept to the front of the group as well as he could, eyes on Maple the whole time. It seemed hard to believe that any mysterious "something" could make her suddenly, what, start dripping black paint and talking all boomy like Diyem? Then again, he wouldn't have thought it was possible that...
