[center]As his eyes were closed, that action alone obscured on what Crona was begin to do. Of course, it was sometimes necessary for this kind of action to be taken in order for her magic to work, as it being seen by other non-Witches would nullify the magic almost immediately. All that Sora could feel was a cold air beginning to blow around him. Then it all came to a stop, and he couldn't even feel himself holding hands with Crona for this anymore. [color=DarkTurquoise][b][i]"Alright... open your eyes. Take in your surroundings."[/i][/b][/color] Crona's voice seemed to echo from all directions, and once Sora would open his eyes, he would see that he wasn't in the Game Room anymore or anywhere near the Witch of Time. His new surroundings were that of a chapel interior, and there were a few individuals in this area that he could see from his location. Being located near the entrance doors while the rest of the visible others were near the altar of the chapel, it was unusual that he hasn't been spotted yet. However, that was only because of the fact that time was at a stand-still, possibly from Crona's magic. [color=DarkTurquoise][b][i]"I cannot assist you much in this closed off Kakera other than to pull you out of it. There happened to be this one Kakera that was different from the others, as if it broke away from the original timeline. All you have to do... is set this Kakera back to it's original timeline. It won't change anything, but this gives way for a test to see if you can do much when put into a battle like this. Since you aren't familiar with some of the people seen in this closed off Kakera, I can only give you this much information as well. ... good luck, Sora."[/i][/b][/color] Once she had stopped talking to Sora through this telepathic mean, Sora would start to feel certain pieces of information flood into his mind. Who were the key people in this room? He found the names, Battler Ushiromiya, Beatrice, Erika Furudo, Dlanor A. Knox, Bernkastel, and Lambdadelta coming to his thoughts. What was happening? This was the last event concerning the Metaworld's fifth game... that was all he knew... Everything else that would explain what was supposed to be happening here was unclear, as Crona couldn't give him the information about it. Though, there was one objective that came to him probably from Crona's help: ensure that Battler makes this game's result into a draw. For some reason, this game's result in this closed-off Kakera was different to the original, resulting in an alternate timeline. So, it was certain that he had to stop the catalyst to that divergence in the timeline. Once he got his thoughts all together, time resumed, and it still seemed as if the people further down the chapel were unaware of his presence.

Our culprit for this game was no other than Natsuhi Ushiromiya, who purposefully hid Kinzo's death from the others and used that confusion to commit the murders. Such reasoning allowed us to achieve this win, and put an end to the Golden Witch for the further games ahead of us, my master,"[/color] Erika was the first to speak again after that period of stopped time, declaring that she had the solution to solve this game. Bernkastel only smiled in response, holding out her hands to create a special scythe.

I knew that you would come to a solution for this game, and ease me from my boredom... In reward for that... you shall become the Witch of Truth...[/color] Bernkastel held out the scythe for Erika to take, and clearly this must be a big occasion for Erika, considering that she was hesitant and shocked by this generousity of her 'master.' [color=LightBlue]"M-Master... I don't think I'm... worthy for this reward... give me a bit more time... maybe another victory... a-and..."[/color] Erika stammered all over the place, but it seemed like she wouldn't get the chance to talk a bit more... [color=Purple]"Go on and accept what I have out for you. You earned it, my cute daughter."[/color] It was with those words, Erika was sure to take the reward now, carefully taking the scythe into her hands.

I even got the title set in stone already! 'Checkmate of the Golden Witch.' How does that sound, everyone?!"[/color] Erika exclaimed as she held the scythe in a victory-like manner. It seemed as if nothing would pop out and ruin this victory for the peculiar detective, but Sora was in the perfect position to notice something off... The person that he was informed from Crona's help to be Battler... he seemed as if he was beginning to awaken and trying to free himself from the blade of Red Truth that was impaled through his body. However, the second anomaly wasn't anything that Sora was informed about... a man with a purple hooded cloak happened to step out of the shadows, his target appearing to be the downed Battler. Whoever this was, it was clear that this hooded man was not supposed to be here.[/center] ([i]This is going to be interesting, considering that this little bit came from a different RP where I used Umineko characters. xD[/i]) [hr] [center]Dlanor simply stared towards Sephiroth's direction. Once it was close enough, another flash of red appeared around Dlanor, forcing the foe away. She was still unarmed... but that won't be for long. [color=Thistle]"Permission to use the Red KEY,"[/color] Dlanor spoke in a monotonous voice, but it seemed like the "Red Key" was a powerful weapon that it had to be given permission to be used.

You know what to do from here, Dlanor,"[/color] Erika had a small smile on her face, as if she were being smug about the fact that she had given Dlanor the permission to use this type of weapon against Sephiroth. [img]http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/umineko/images/8/80/Dla_am11b_def3.png/revision/latest?cb=20140125154658[/img] [color=Thistle]"... UNDERSTOOD,"[/color] the girl continued to speak in that emotionless voice, holding this blade out. So this was the Red Key? It was unclear on what it was capable of, but it held an intimidating amount of power, both physical and magical. Maybe even conceptual? Charging forwards, Dlanor swung the Red Key several times at Sephiroth, having the objective to eliminate him on the spot.[/center]
