Kosuke blearily opened his eyes. When had he fallen asleep? Last thing he'd remembered he was going into Deep Ground, now he was sitting in a chair, somewhere he didn't recognize. He didn't feel too good, and he smelled... Freshly washed surprisingly enough. Usually when this happened he was pretty sure he didn't take a shower, but the things he did in his moments seemed to be getting more normal as time went on. Well, he couldn't really tell whether or not it was though, he was unconscious for them. Hopefully he'd normalize before he figured out how to use his phone though.

Somewhere nearby there was someone talking. Maybe they'd been the one who had put him in the chair. He shakily got to his feet and walked over to where they were.

[b][color=thistle]"Oi, who're you calling a flying spaghetti monster?"[/color][/b] He said.

He only heard the last part of what the person had been saying, and maybe he'd heard a few things wrong, but whatever. It'd get the point across.

[b]"Go, Christopher!"[/b] Arkadian shouted.

The dissolution roared as Christopher darted out from under Arkadian's cloak, or as fast as charging Cosmosis would allow him to, anyway. This was a mid to low size dissolution that was on its last legs already, one more attack would finish it off. Christopher kept moving as as the dissolution reared back its fist. Christopher slowed, the dissolution swung, and Arkadian dashed out to take the blow. He threw his cloak out in front of him, the gaudy faux stars becoming a cosmos, and the creases and folds melded into the darkness of its void.

The dissolution's punch swung through the cloak as if there was nothing there. Cloak of Starlight was an amazing ability. It absorbed all kinds of ranged attacks, and he took half damage from most melee attacks. For both melee attacks and ranged attacks though, there was a limit that he could absorb. The biggest weakness for Arkadian's cloak was multiple quick melee attacks, since his cloak didn't parry them or cancel out a combo of theirs. The first time he'd tried it in melee range, he'd gotten sent to the respawn by a three-hit combo since he still had low health.

The dissolution unleashed a follow-up attack and Arkadian's health took another dip.

[b]"Now!"[/b] Arkadian shouted.

There was a flash of light as Christopher blinked in front of him and unleashed Cosmosis. The dissolution was destroyed in a shockwave of cosmic energy, and when it cleared only EXP crystals remained.

Now that he had these abilities, he could finally make up for lost time. Even though Cloak of Starlight was a purely defensive ability, the ability to take more risks combined with Christopher's Astral Shift had given him a large boost in offensive power. Now he could finally make up for lost time.

The stars on his cloak reverted to normal, and it shrank to his shoulders. Christopher jumped up onto his shoulders and Arkadian set his sights to the horizon.

[b]"Alright, Christopher!"[/b] He said, setting off. [b]"Let's find some adventure!"[/b]
