[b][i][u]Location: Fon Ventorian Mansion - Main Hall[/u][/i][/b] [i]The moment Marilee mentioned the Four Comets, Astra and Lass already had accepted the deal. Of course, the Black Moon's involvement with the town would grow beyond their liking and expectations, but such is the price.[/i] [img]https://i.imgur.com/p3g4Ikw.png[/img] Astra: Hmhm. Line, hook and sinker, eh Resistance? [img]https://i.imgur.com/zFP7KpM.png[/img] Lass: The Black Moon accepts your terms. [img]https://i.imgur.com/sQSIdEE.png[/img] Roger: Whoa whoa! T-That fast?! [img]https://i.imgur.com/00qz3rx.png[/img] Astra: What do you mean "that fast"? You're the one who hasn't got the idea here. [img]https://i.imgur.com/ouhTiNv.png[/img] Lass: Well then, how shall this proceed now? Are we under your command or can we still do our own business as always? [img]https://i.imgur.com/PiECKgX.png[/img] Astra: I'm highly sure we can still move around freely, yet we'll be sharing info with them from now on. Besides, more work means more training, so I'm fine with whatever.

I'm Veronica, but you can call me Vivi! [img]https://i.imgur.com/1ZWuHDf.png[/img] Sayaka: And I'm Sayaka. It's a pleasure. [img]https://i.imgur.com/9xEYDWK.png[/img] Veronica: Since you're all on a trip, we won't bother you much. But hey, feel free to drop out at home and make a visit! [img]https://i.imgur.com/B1JDM84.png[/img] Veronica: Alright, Sayaka, let's get going! Hinamori, I hope you enjoy the trip. We'll catch each other someday soon! [img]https://i.imgur.com/somZgK6.png[/img] Sayaka: Nice meeting you again, Hinamori. And have fun with the trip, everyone. [i]Sayaka and Veronica left together to their classroom. Their eager humming could still be heard as they went inside.[/i] [hider=Event: The Third General is Deployed] [b][i][u]Location: ??? - Necrox's Chambers[/u][/i][/b] [i]After everything was set, Dio met with Necrox in his chambers. They spoke in private, in order to fully explain what was he going to do in Unitia.[/i] [img]https://i.imgur.com/Wk8YtYU.png[/img] Dio: So, what am I supposed to be doing there? [img]https://i.imgur.com/3pMKNzV.png[/img] Necrox: Like I said, you'll be meeting with Elizabeth Bathory. From there, you'll be on your own. The only thing I can tell you is that we're aiding Lumino with his children. [img]https://i.imgur.com/mxVf3WF.png[/img] Dio: Children? Did Lumino end up- [img]https://i.imgur.com/FuP1ukO.png[/img] Necrox: Don't raise the possibility. I'm seriously going to puke if you do. [img]https://i.imgur.com/VhfRB1j.png[/img] Dio: Alright, I won't. So that's what I'll be doing. [img]https://i.imgur.com/Mm7pKjV.png[/img] Necrox: You'll be meeting some familiar faces over there. Here's hoping you're good with reminiscing. [img]https://i.imgur.com/Jbcmpld.png[/img] Dio: ... [img]https://i.imgur.com/NgY4BjF.png[/img] Necrox: Also, there's something else I'm doing with you. [i]Necrox snapped his fingers and Dio felt a dark fog enveloping him. He wasn't able to see it much until the fog dispersed. When it did, his whole attire changed to something he forgotten.[/i] [img]https://i.imgur.com/Fxdwtqz.png[/img] Dio: W-What? Is this...? [img]https://i.imgur.com/nQcggbt.png[/img] Necrox: Missed your old look from the times you were at Gensokyo? [img]https://i.imgur.com/ZIKcClH.png[/img] Dio: This form... never thought I'd ever use it again. It's truly how I used to look back at the Sanzu River, carrying those souls with that lazy as hell Komachi. [img]https://i.imgur.com/3pMKNzV.png[/img] Necrox: Good. This is how you'll go to Unitia. [img]https://i.imgur.com/j4jkLFN.png[/img] Dio: Fine. So as long as I'm aiding you and not in that jail... [img]https://i.imgur.com/Mm7pKjV.png[/img] Necrox: Alright then. You can go now. I'm almost sure you'll reach Liz in an instant. [i]Dio nodded and went through the portal. Necrox looked as it closed, smiling a little.[/i] [img]https://i.imgur.com/NgY4BjF.png[/img] Necrox: Heh. Who would've thought this guy would remain the loyal bastard...

Soon, as she walked a portal appeared out of nowhere, with Dio coming out of it.[/i] [img]https://i.imgur.com/UpfUuH2.png[/img] Lizzy: Gaaah!! W-Who the hell are you?! [img]https://i.imgur.com/YyPAd17.png[/img] Dio: ... So you're Elizabeth Bathory... or at least the Heroic Spirit that represents her. [img]https://i.imgur.com/E7x2KAV.png[/img] Lizzy: H-How do you know me? Oh, don't tell me! [img]https://i.imgur.com/x6u91dy.png[/img] Dio: I'm Dio. Necrox sent me after you, Elizabeth. [img]https://i.imgur.com/F1ztkUj.png[/img] Lizzy: Dio? I don't remember seeing you in my shows. How did you- [img]https://i.imgur.com/UpfUuH2.png[/img] Lizzy: Wait... you're THAT Dio?! [img]https://i.imgur.com/ZIKcClH.png[/img] Dio: I don't know what you mean by "that Dio", neither I want to know. Anyway, what you've been doing so far? [img]https://i.imgur.com/8Y03Ggq.png[/img] Lizzy: Uhh... walking aimlessly at the town... I guess. [img]https://i.imgur.com/rWWdTYN.png[/img] Dio: ... Good, it seems I know now that you're pathetic. [img]https://i.imgur.com/0EnTrGC.png[/img] Lizzy: Wha... Rude!! Excuse me if Necrox didn't tell me a goddamn thing about what the hell I'm supposed to be doing! [img]https://i.imgur.com/3LTGYb3.png[/img] Dio: Enough talk. We're going to the Hakurei Shrine. [img]https://i.imgur.com/H4AVoLr.png[/img] Lizzy: Hakurei... Shrine? I think I heard somethings about it. It's in another area of the town. Spring Zone, I think... [img]https://i.imgur.com/j4jkLFN.png[/img] Dio: So you do know stuff. Lead the way then. [img]https://i.imgur.com/iggjGPg.png[/img] Lizzy: But I don't know which way it is! How am I supposed to know where I should be headed?! People aren't helping me much and there's nowhere telling me which way should I go! [img]https://i.imgur.com/ZIKcClH.png[/img] Dio: ... That's called a map and there's one over there. [i]As Dio pointed it out, there was a small stall giving away free maps. He went there and took one for them.[/i] [img]https://i.imgur.com/NdX0X1i.png[/img] Lizzy: Ahaha... I didn't notice that there were free maps of the town... [img]https://i.imgur.com/rWWdTYN.png[/img] Dio: *sigh* This is going to be great... [img]https://i.imgur.com/F1ztkUj.png[/img] Lizzy: So, which way are we supposed to go then? [img]https://i.imgur.com/x6u91dy.png[/img] Dio: *opens map* Let's see... this way. [i]Dio went towards one direction and Lizzy followed him. Their task was to join with the others and fulfill the team composed to aid the royalties of Lacrima in their journey;[/i] [/hider]
