Much like the others, Blazermate and Sectonia listened to the speech that the Princess gave to everyone attending, this area clear of Galeem’s corruption apparently to the both of them. While she didn’t like how Peach was the ‘leader’ of this party, from what Sectonia had seen of the now dark princess, she had powers that worked with the fabric of this world better than the bee queen’s own and riled up everyone to their cause, so she begrudgingly let her go about with her speech. Seeing this disgruntledness, Blazermate said. [color=0072bc]“Bowser is in love with Peach so it makes sense that he follows her around and doesn’t complain. I take it you have issues with her leading?”[/color] to which Sectonia nodded, looking the medabot in the eye as she dared to speak what was on Sectonia’s mind. [color=0072bc]“Well, I’m a medabot, so I’m used to following my medafighter which I’m missing, but still. Uh… where was I going with this….”[/color] Blazermate said, thinking. [color=0072bc]“Oh yeah, why don’t you see yourself as her medafighter? I’ve noticed Peach isn’t the… strongest of us and is more like me, there for support in combat. So yeah. She does stuff so you don’t have to?”[/color] Sectonia still looked at Blazermate, but the bots logic was sound and put the bee queen at ease for now. 

As the two listened to the end of the speech and a few others of the crowd speaking up, one of them a big burly man that Tora seemed to know, about her ‘plans’ to retake the World of Light from Galeem, Sectonia got an idea as well. Teleporting herself to hover above the map, scepter in hand, she used it to point at said map [color=92278f]”I can’t speak for the others here.”[/color] the bee queen began [color=92278f]”But it would be more tactical for those of us with minions to send them out as well to scout and relay information. It's how I ruled Floralia.”[/color] With this, she glanced at Bowser and his family, knowing they had minions as well.

[color=FD0000]WHAT YOU LOOKING AT ME FOR?[/color] Bowser asked once he noticed he was being looked at by the queen

[color=DeepSkyBlue]”Well, you would normally also do that sire”[/color] Kamek helpful pointed out

[color=FD0000]Well yeah. We would. But until we find my castle and all my minions we won't be able to do that. They’re all kinda stuck to us as strikers… well. Other than this lot now I guess[/color] The king said, before scratching his head, mulling over the idea and where they’d go next.

Soon after Sectonia suggested her plan to conquer this land, came some clapping and words from a dark robed figure in the crowd. Sectonia didn’t recognize him, but Peach did, and with the mention of his name, Sectonia was reminded of something. [color=92278f]”Master of masters…. Kamek mentioned him knowing how this world worked….”[/color] she muttered to herself, interested as she moved away from the map, letting others take their time with it.

[color=DeepSkyBlue]”Ah, your majesty, I could not help but overhear your mention of my name,”[/color] Kamek said as he walked towards her [color=DeepSkyBlue]”Is there anyway i can assist you?”[/color] 
[color=92278f]”Yes you can Kamek.”[/color] Sectonia said, floating down a bit to get a good look at the koopa magician, with the unintended side effect of giving him a bit more respect than she showed most others as he was Bowser’s #1 minion, much like her Taranza. [color=92278f]”I remember you mentioning him and Blazermate mentioned him as well when she essentially ‘recruited’ me to rule over this little ‘elite squad’. What do you know of him? From what both of you have said, I surmise he knows much about how this “World of Light” works, maybe too much…” [/color] she said, trailing off at the end as she thought about all she had been told from Blazermate, Kamek, Peach, and now the Master of Masters himself.

The mage glanced back at the two other royals of the party when Sectonia mentioned her rule over the squad, but diplomatic avoided raising the issue. Instead he got right down to addressing her question [color=DeepSkyBlue]”The initial group freed chrome Galeem’s control, containing my king and Blazermate among others, encountered the Master very early on in their exploration of the world. He was, like the Guild master and his ally, seemingly already free from the light’s grasp, which I put down to their shared robes even if those are made to resist darkness rather than light. If i remember rightly, he claims to have a detached eye and he can see everything that eye will ever or has ever seen. Including explanations of how the world of light works gained from others who, I assume, learned it from him which he learned for us and so on indefinitely. Ah time travel. It does even my head in and I’ve done it.”[/color] 

The mage shook his head, Sectonia joining him with an audible [color=92278f]”Ugh, time travel.”[/color] 


[color=DeepSkyBlue]”Agreed.”[/color] the mage said with a grin, before returning to the topic of the Master  [color=DeepSkyBlue]”As I said, that explanation was before my freedom, so take it with a grain of salt due to it being a telephoned explanation, but I’ve had two somewhat lengthy conversations with the man since. Mostly about magic, which he is very knowledgeable about. I also got some information about the “organization 13” which the Guild master/king dice/Gneidxick is probably a part of and the Kingdom Hearts which is supposedly the core of all worlds which said group has sought in the past.“[/color]  

[color=DeepSkyBlue]”He has also been running around the world apparently, he mentioned investigating events beyond the dead zone, which is further than any of our group have ever been. Overall a very interesting individual. I can understand your suspicions, You are likely not the only one to harber them, but so far he has been nothing but helpful. Even if he is a bit, ah, eccentric“[/color] Kamek explained

[color=92278f]”So, like Taranza then… Wonder if he can play the piano?”[/color] Sectonia said, thinking a bit to herself before snapping back to it. [color=92278f]”Very suspicious all the same. Still, he did mention something that not even Blazermate told me, about gaining the knowledge of spirits instead of their power. Do you have any experience with that?”[/color] Sectonia said. Meanwhile, Blazermate, seeing the Master of Masters went up to talk to him.

[color=0072bc]”Hiya MoM, long time no see! Well, a few days but who's counting. Also your a guy right? Don’t think calling you mom works… uh….”[/color] Blazermate said, losing a bit of focus. [color=0072bc]”Oh right! Lookie here, I got some new parts since we last met! They’re great! I can make people invincible, make zombies, command zombies….”[/color] Blazermate said, showing off her new medipack and suffering shield arm, its tongue just lulling out as if it was asleep. [color=0072bc]“But uh…. Why are these parts so temperamental? This one twitches and does its own thing sometimes.”[/color] Blazermate said pointing to her suffering arm. [color=0072bc]”Do you know how to stop that? It's annoying sometimes. I can’t touch people with this arm anymore, because if I do, I get this super strong urge to turn them into a zombie. Meda parts aren’t supposed to do that.”[/color] She said.

Other than chuckling at the pseudonym given to him, the Master of Masters withstood Blazermate’s questioning in silence. Once she finished, however, he launched into an explanation with his typical laidback manner of speaking. “Well now, little miss ragdoll, these are spirits you’ve playing with after all. If I were you, I’d count my blessings, each and every one. Seems like you’ve got high Resonance, which sure is handy, but it’s still fusion. Every time you fuse with a spirit, a bit of its personality gets added to yours. So I’d chock up any fun little quirks you’ve been finding out about yourself to that.” He gesticulated with his arms out and palms up, as if showing Blazermate what he meant. “But hey, could be worse. Could be going loopy from contradictory beliefs and behaviors. If ya wanna keep the whole bein’ sane shindig, I’d be a little more careful about whatcha take in.”

[color=0072bc]”So essentially these are just glitchy parts that are way stronger than they should be. Like dark parts or something. Huh, well, as long as dark medals don’t exist I think things should be fine then. This whole thing is essentially what Medabots do on the norm.”[/color] Blazermate said with a weary smile before hopping off to the map, deciding where she should go as the dedicated medic of the team.

[color=DeepSkyBlue]”Personally I have not… I’m not sure if anyone has, as it seems like the most drastic of the options available. But I was aware of it. Apply the spirit to the head instead of the heart and you will gain the skills, wisdom, or knowledge, of the spirit. It seems useful but, again, also more invasive than gaining physical aspects and power. Not that said powers do not also come with side effects as we saw with the tall teleporting fellows from the island filled void.“[/color] Kamek said when asked about the absorption of spirit’s knowledge [color=DeepSkyBlue]”Also ah, intelligence and skill have not exactly been forthcoming in the foe’s we have faced, so it has not been much of a consideration either. The ability to gain the sniper’s shooting skills being a notable recent exception that none, not even I, considered till now.“[/color] The mage scratched his chin thoughtful but then seemed to put aside the notion almost as soon as he had considered it.

Sectonia nodded. [color=92278f]”I haven’t been with you all that long, so I will take your word for it if you’ve only been fighting dragons or mindless drones or weapon users. Still, something to keep in mind if someone is physically frail, but has useful knowledge I suppose.”[/color]  Sectonia said, thinking about the whole thing. 

[color=DeepSkyBlue]”Glad I could be of service your majesty“[/color] Kamek replied with a kurt bow.

With their conversation more or less done at this point, Sectonia watched as a few of the others picked out what they would do on the map, listening in over why they wanted to choose those locations and what might be there. Soon however, she wondered about the other areas. Most areas seemed ok, but some, like the Dead Zone, didn’t sound very pretty. Although apparently according to Blazermate, they found Sectonia locked in a tube in the Dead Zone, although she only remembered awakening on a lab floor, very sore and annoyed. 

Blazermate was equally as undecided, as she knew she was one of their strongest healers, so she would have to go with the biggest group. But she wasn’t sure who that was yet so both ladies stood back and waited for the others to make a decision; Sectonia hoping for something valuable and powerful and Blazermate just looking to be in the biggest group for healing, or go to the most dangerous area. Thinking ab
