Jace: “I must continue practicing… But this time on a mountain, I must completely submerge myself with my element” *he runs out the house and goes up the mountain behind it*
Kira: “I have to continue too”
Mariya: “Ray, do you think we’ll ever have the old scorch back with us again”
Lie: “The only thing is that Obe will still be under the gods… He won’t like to see me under my sister’s flag. But Bliss blames me for killing Resy. Not true. But Resy’s seek for justice brought her to death, even if she didn’t deserve it. Then I’ll be on my own” *disappears*
*some days later, on the Twilight Coast*
Bliss: -Since no one wants to believe me, the only way to keep that chest safe is to win the race myself-
Osvaldo: “Dear Musers! Welcome to the Resistance Unicorn Race, the Teignmount race in memory of our fallen hero Resy! And this time this will be an extreme marathon which will involve not only the Teignmount, but also the whole Uprising continent! The special prize is this strange chest… Hey Bliss!”
Bliss: “yeah?”
Osvaldo: “feelings of your first couple victory?”
Bliss: “You can bet it…” *hops on her unicorn* “Let’s do it! For Resy!”
Judi: “for Dark Shines!”
Ray: “He’ll come back after Plasmorex is released, but we dont want him released…”
Osvaldo: “For this edition of the Unicorn Race, this will be an only-flight race with various checkpoints, and you can rest max 10 hours in a checkpoint! But first of all, let’s auraport to the other part of the continent, on the Eclipse Coast! We will start from there, remembering the Muser route of Resy! Fly all over the Eclipse coast till the Fury Mountain, then climb it and make a peak-to-peak flight first over the Absolution chain, then over the BH&R chain. As soon as you reach the Starlight Mountain, go inside and climb down through the Starlight Cave, and when you get to City Of Delusion, auraport to the Spiral Static mount, then make a peak-to-peak first over the Showbiz chain, then over the Origin Chain. As soon as you reach Futurism Mount, auraport to the Uprising mount, and another peak-to-peak over the Resistance and The2ndLaw chains. Then, after reaching the Isolated Mount, go on the Teignmount and fly around it at exactly 8 kilometers of altitude, passing from Old Teignmount Town as checkpoint. Then fly over the Unnatural Ocean, go on the peak of Drones Mount, and fly your last peak-to-peak over the Drones chain, back on the Teignmount, stop in front of Resy’s house for a minute of silence, then gallop to Teignmount City through Wembley Road. Without your unicorns, as soon as you arrive to London Place, climb the Muse Arena as usual, and plant your flag on the top of the panoramic tower! All clear?”
*Everyone nods and auraports to the Eclipse Coast*
Bliss: “Get ready, Judi!”
Mariya: “nobody wants plasmorexis to come back either… But I guess if the gods really are deceiving us, then who’s side are we on?”
Sasuke: *he wakes up and walks down the hallway* “kurama, tell scorch I’ll be heading out, I have something I need to do” *he runs out the hideout*
Kurama: “will do!”
Osvaldo: “Alright, the checkpoints are the end of the Eclipse Coast, the peaks of each mountain, one in the middle of Starlight Cave, City Of Delusion, Old Teignmount Town and in front of Resy’s house. No speed ups and no other magic allowed apart from Guiding Light!”
*Every Muser got into position*
Osvaldo: “The other Rainbow Knights and I will control the regularity of the race!” *hops on Esmeralda and flies*
*The countdown from the song The Globalist started* “Ten… Nine… Eight… Seven… Six… Five… Four… Three… Two… One… FIRE!”
*All the unicorns galloped the first 500 meters with furious energy, spreading a cloud of sand. Then everyone took off*
Bliss: “C’MON JUDIIII!!”
*It took her two hours to complete the first checkpoint*
Bliss: “Five minutes of pause just for physiological necessities”
Judi: “Alright”
*After five minutes they immediately took off*
Ray: “I don’t even know any more, I think we are on our own side”
Lie: *seeing this on a distant planet* “Guys, I’m on my side as well! Muahahahaha! I’m just making myself survive to make my own sister truth survive! I’m not so selfish actually…”
Bliss: *reaches the top of the Fury Mountain* “This change of altitude, I usually don’t feel it on the Teignmount”
Judi: *panting* “Oh no! Someone is flying over!”
Licia: *riding Diamante* “Just me, controlling the regularity of the game! Take as much time as you need”
Bliss: “I do not have time! That chest shall not be open, for this reason I have to win the race!” *the two take off immediately*
Mariya: “yeah… I’m starting to think that too, we may as well be neutral from the action. What do you think Blademaster, Draco?”
Jace: *as he reaches the mountain top he notices a mysterious figure in the mist of the mountain* “who are you?”
*Suddenly*
Selenina: “Hiiiii Bliss! See ya at the finishing line!!”
Bliss: “If you happen to win the race, DO NOT OPEN THAT CHEST!! I already know what it contains!”
Selenina: “Then why did you participate?”
Bliss: “First of all to honour my mentor and my best friend Resy, second because if I happen to win the race, I’ll protect the universe from that thing trapped in that chest!!”
Selenina: “I DON’T HEAR YOU!” *disappears in front of her*
Judi: “How could Metallikus have that energy? He’s cheating somehow!”
Bliss: “It’s not him, but her Muser”
*a red eye appears in the mist*
Blade Master: “I’m not sure myself… I’d say we are still fighting for the good side”
Draco: “I honestly don’t care, I never want to see Plasmorex again”
Mariya: “then perhaps we should put together our own organisation with just the six of us?”
Jace: “woah” *he pulls out his bow and charges up a lightning arrow* “I asked you a question, who are you?”
???: “Your worst nightmare” *a shadow appears for a split second before Jace gets knocked out* “Hahaha” *teleports him back outside the house and disappears*
Kira: “what was that… I just felt a really strong presence just now and it was so close too” *she walks outside* “jace!! What happened?! He’s knocked out cold guys”
Draco: “Bring him in and put him by the fire”
Kira: *she lays him on the sofa next to the fireplace* “he’s beginning to wake up”
Jace: *with blurred vision he gradually gets up* “what just happened, one minute I see a shadow figure and the next I’m back here”
Bliss: *while having a rest on the City Of Delusion checkpoint, sitting… Grabs the Sword of Knowledge and closes her eyes, concentrating*
“Call of Truth!”
*Vision*
Mariya: “then perhaps we should put together our own organisation with just the six of us?”
…
Bliss: “I don’t understand. They are starting to mistrust the Gods, but they don’t want to forgive. That’s not a good sign from them.”
Truth: “Send them an Aura Message, no? Do you need my help?”
Bliss: “I’m just at the beginning of the race, Truth! I cannot use any magic apart from auraporting between distant checkpoints and the Guiding Light! I shouldn’t even have called you, but I was desperate. Thanks anyway”
*end of vision. Bliss sheats the sword*
Draco: “A shadow figure? Thats new, unless it was Shadow, Shadow Shifter or Shadow Hound, what did it look like?”
Jace: “this figure, it was human, but with red glowing eyes like Sasuke’s sharingan but pure red, he also had unbelievable speed and teleportation skills too, along with an extremely powerful aura around him, it almost felt like it was 2 beings staring me down”
Draco: “That sounds a lot like Omegear… Because Omega is inside him, but he doesnt have shadow powers does he?”
