I awoke from the temporal displacement bomb and grunted. Hope? What a foolish creature to think that it could use TIME against me. I'm an immortal, dammit! I shrugged and stood up, realigning my displaced bones and feel them put back into their place. They werent even damaged, but they sure as hell stung when they were ripped apart from their sockets. At times I think this Voraelian skeleton was more or less a blessing than a curse. But back to the evil plot.

I took my sword up once again and cut through the dimensional gates, then jumped through the rift, to the area where the rebellion was to gather. Thanks to this dark- ugh.... wait... what was- DAMMIT. Sorry. I had to put the good side of me back into it's place. As I was saying, this dark power granted me a souped up version of my old power to teleport and now be able to rip the fabric of space and time. I landed on a treebranch, and it was the most peaceful sight I've seen in a while, with a picture-esqe family of bunnies hopping about. I set them on fire a moment later. I saw the sun brighten the day and smiled. Rejoice, for bad things are about to happen.

I snuck through their crowded site, taking a cue from my old master in using my morph mask in order to impersonate a guard. Time to start killing their leaders. I made my way to the quarters of the infamous glaive master, and snuck in. I saw her sleeping and simply sat at her desk, eating a small sandwhich, waiting for her to wake up and kill her, hoping her face would be contorted into a look of mild surprise when I took her down.

" She has good tastes in sandwhiches, I'll give her that... I think this is pastrami..."

"Hmmm...I sense something...well time to head out."

Sir Ryan looks around and sees no one around. He stands up and starts heading for the palace again.

"This might go bad...but I need to see for myself what has happened.."

[No sweat LightningDoom. I should have been more specific. Later on in the event there will be more of the aurora borealis light.]

Though Zodiac ripped through the initial barrier surrounding Tirracorp Mountains, he was oblivious that the it expanded to the entire land of Corpavale. In the fief before Sir Ryan set out to the Palace, the Cmdr. from the Hall managed to reach.

"Commander Ryan, I have a letter for you." *takes out letter and hands it to Sir Ryan* "It's a letter from Capt. Le."

"My thanks to you. I shall read it later."

Sir Ryan then takes off into the night. A dark shadow in a moonless night.

The Cmdr. sees him off then looks up at the sky. He sees a night sky of course but he knew that past it was something else. "So Capt. Le activated the Tesseract Project. I hope he knows what he's doing."

Sir Ryan appears outside the palace. A deep evil is surrounding it. Sir Ryan ventures inside quietly sneaking past anyone he sees. He draws his sword and tries to find the rations. He sets about looking.

"This...is terrible....King Almare...Hmm..."

Sir Ryan finds the rations but suddenly as he walks around the far end, he blacks out.

Two guards appear and throw him into a jail cell.

"What have i gotten myself into.."
He sends a message secretly to Lady Tia.

"Dear Lady Tia,
I have been captured, do not attempt to rescue me. Stay hidden. I will find a way out soon."

[[ CrimsonEdge... why a sandwich? o_o and why the leaders? They haven't been decided...yet. Oh well]]

Tara woke up to the sound of somebody munching on food. What the heck...? Oh Great Mother Goddess, there's a guy in our room! She sent a frantic probe with a magical boost to wake up her sister. Once she felt her sister's mind coming awake, she warned her with their special "no entrance for outsiders twin bond".

Tara used her personal portal network to transport herself on the intruder's shoulder. She stuck a selaing charm on his forehead. "You know, it's really rude to be in a lady's bedroom without permission... And to be eating on top of that. Do you have no manners?" Tara then jumped off the intruder's shoulder, and with Tia's help, pushed him through her portal. Next, she sealed her portal, sending it directly to the divine realms.

When that was done, she turned to her sister. "I think we should wake the others here and decide who the rebel leaders should be." She grinned. "I think I have a pretty good idea on who the rebel leader in these parts will be! Haha."

As Sir Ryan walks around his cell trying to find a way out of there, a ethereal cyan aurora borealis light engulfs him, transporting him in the middle of a intersection of four hallways. Sir Ryan looks at his surroundings and appears to be wearing his High Guard uniform and there was explosions in the background.

"What in the name of--?! OH DAMN!"

Sir Ryan ducks behind cover.

"Need to remember this layout..dont remember..."

Sir Ryan decides to hide in shadow and looks for the nearest exit.

"This is very bad indeed..I think I need some help. I'm gonna make a run for it."

Sir Ryan finds an exit and decides to run and hide for now.

Sir Ryan runs to the nearest hideout only find out to be on the command bridge.

Pilot: "Captain, we're approaching Dyhedra System."
Captain: "Contact Admiral Falauxis. We are to help out with the evacuation of the Dyhedra III."
Ensign: "Captain Magog ships incoming."
Captain: "Code black. *alarm rang* Arm missiles tube 1-20."
Ensign: "Arming missiles tube 1-20 aye Captain."
Captain: "...Fire."

The ship fires at the incoming ships and destroys most of them. Some clamped on to the ship and puncture the hull releasing it hold of Magog into the ship. The ships' AI alerts the Captain.

AI: "Captain, I'm detecting swarms of Magog running around the decks."
Captain: "Lt.Cmdr. Antonio, take a security force to eliminate the Magog in the affected areas."

It just hit Sir Ryan to find out where he was. The Captain giving his rank just now made him realize that he was aboard the Balance of Judgement, the previous ship he served 6 years prior to when he was given a field promotion to Commander and transferred over to the Lancers Hope to meet with Capt. Le by Adm. Falauxis for a 'special' assignment.

Duchess Miracle had already been wide awake by the time Tara and Tia started waking everyone up. Earlier, her senses had picked found an intruder at the fief, but after a few minutes the feeling was gone, so she let it slide. As everyone assembled in the main hall, she noticed that just about everyone kept glancing at Lady Tia. They knew why they were woken up, and Duchess Miracle could almost see the decisions in their heads. She smiled to herself, stifling a giggle.

The Silver Rogue leaned against the balistrade watching the proceedings with a calm face. The group had decided who the rebel leaders would be, having gone over the choices with King Emrik III. The only problem they had was who would be the rebel leader for these parts. This was when the Silver Rogue decided to step in.

"I nominate Lady Tia. Don't you all think it's reasonable? She can have quite the temper sometimes, but she keeps a level head in situations like these. How she got the palace organized to evacuate just proves that point. Well... You don't have to listen to me. It's just my opinion. You all might not think the same as I do." The Silver Rogue's face held not one ounce of humor. He was dead serious.

Duchess Miracle nodded with understanding. All around her, other people were nodding too. She laughed quietly, and then louder, earning herself some weird stares from her seat neighbors. She cleared her throat, getting the laughter out of her system to get serious.

"I agree with the Silver Rogue. When it comes to war, battles, conflicts, and dangerous situations, we can depend and trust Lady Tia. It's... true... that she gets angered easily sometimes, but I think it's one of her good points. Honestly, sometimes when she gets angry at people, I think they really deserve it. She puts them in their place. Out of all of us, she thinks things through... Most of the time. Her decisions are usually good ones, and her plans are AM~AZ~ING!

"Some of you may think that just cause she has a reputation for getting easily angered, she isn't approachable, but that's not true at all. Get to know her, she's quite the fun one. But being unapproachable comes in handy, too. And what about her skills? You must admit, that she's one of the best you can find skill wise. You can see in your head how she got the name "Bloody Glaive Dragon" in the Magrar War, and "Tsivilis Terror", can't you? I'm all for Lady Tia being the rebel leader here." She smiled sweetly to conclude her speech.

The Silver Rogue grinned. "See? Another person who thinks what I do. You guys are already nodding your heads in agreement. So I guess we can just about imagine and tell who our rebel leader will be." He locked eyes with Lady Tia. "She's perfect."

During the whole time the Silver Rogue and Duchess Miracle were talking about her, she just stared opened mouthed, unable to find the will to speak. Just like that, they had decided that she would be the rebel leader. Not that she had any objections, but she hadn't seen this coming. All along, Lady Tia had thought that King Emrik would be the rebel leader. She inhaled now, taking a deep breath. Letting it all out, she looked at the floor.

Everyone was waiting for her answer. Slowly, she lifted her head up and said quietly, "I.......... accept."
