Aki shrugged then said "Nothing beats a try but a fail. So its worth a shot. I say you begin to move up the tower after about 10 minutes after we leave. In case there is anyone in the building to give them time to leave it to come chase us." He waited for Elysia response then turned to Adrian and said "Let's rock it."

Adrian could feel the feeling of uncertainty rise in the room and decided to try and lighten the mood, he placed a hand on Elysia's shoulder and looked her in the eye "When we get out of here...I know a great coffee place we can go to" he turned around and started to walk of patted Aki on the shoulder and said " 'mon bud we got some noise to make"

At this point, there was a loud crash as a Death Priest broke through the roof, only to land near to the group. Unlike most of his comrades, this Death Priest was wearing a mask made of black metal, two large machine pistols forming from the same substance in the man's hands. Jaque raises his arms, one gun pointed at Ellysia and one gun pointed at Aki, both of them wirring and clicking, sounding almost eager. "I'm very sorry to interrupt, but I believe I cannot allow you to continue with this plan. Unless, of course, you let me help." Smiling, Jaque lowers the guns, the mask melting from his face. "Kami's power doesn't transcend dimensions. When I came here, the spider in my brain died. Since then she's found methods to counteract this effect, judging by the Death Priests below, but at least it's given me my freedom."

Aki smiled then said "You know Kami decently so I bet you know a good way to distract her. Got any good advice to help us out?" Aki wasn't sure how true this statement was so he was giving a slight test.

Moonbeam stared, horrified at what was before her. She closed her eyes, she couldn't let this happen. She looked at Kami with rage, why was she so stupid, why did she come here?! She knew though, she was lonely. She wanted to find someone like her, someone who could teach her. She knew Kami was evil, but she had been holding onto one strand of hope that Kami could teach her. She knew that was now gone, unless she actually submitted to her. She looked up at Kami, "You said I could leave, now please let me leave." She said quietly.

Time, how long has it been.
Darkness, stretching on forever.
Reality, who am I

In an empty lab a light wind started to whirl, and electricity began to ark from a central point. As the wind got stronger and stronger papers and other light weight objects began to spiral around this point. The electricity became like lightning shorting out the lights in the building make snapping noises as it reached out through the room. All at once a black ball, twelve feet in diameter grew from the central point of energy engulfing parts on nearby tables and chairs, sustaining for no longer than a few seconds. When it disappeared the engulfed portions were gone and in the crater stood the figure of a man, he was black with red glowing stripes and lines on his body.

”Reboot online… Systems test complete… HF-X operational.”

Victor looked around the new room he was in analyzing and trying to understand where he was, and how he got there. “Computer?” His slightly robotic voice sounded. “What happened?” there was silence for a short time before his Central Computer System (CCS) responded.
”A singularity opened, dropping us here. We should be in the same spot from where we left, but it appears it is a different time. Where we were before… insufficient data”
Victor stood in the crater a little while while longer before he activated a panel on his arm typing something. Shortly after a trenchcoat and hat formed on him, and he walked out. Once at the front door an alarm went off as he opened it. He looked over at the alarm system, touched it with two fingers and a second later the alarm stopped allowing him to proceed out of the building.

What am I doing here?

"Know her? The bitch was in my head for over three years!" He spat on the floor, nearly growling, the black metal forming numerous spikes and chains, slicing at the air. "I know she'll take you down with a glance if you let her surround you in spiders. We're going to need someone who can easily wipe them out, or we're all going to end up mindless drones."

---

"Are you sure you wish to?" Kami looks at you, and you notice a subtle illusion preventing anyone else from noticing the glance. There's an odd..... sadness, in her eyes, the first sign of petty or remorse you've seen since meeting her. "Once you choose a path, there's no going back. You can't change your route, even if you chose poorly. You may not see it, because you are young, but this choice, whether to leave or stay, will affect the rest of your life." Kami turns back to the crowd, and is silent, clasping her hands in front of her. You've noticed Wiper has moved closer.

Moonbeam closed her eyes, this would decide what her life would be. Would she want to live in fear of Kami, or possibly, maybe be her friend? Moonbeam looked up at Kami, she was the only one who might be able to teach her. Besides, who would she miss if she left? No one ever took the time to know her. She knew it would be wrong, to side with Kami, but maybe she could work things out? Maybe it wasn't so bad, besides what had anyone done to her but ignore her? She thought back to the group in the tower and her mind wrestled with itself. She didn't want to hurt them, but she didn't even know them. She finally looked up at Kami, "I choose you." she said softly, hoping she made the right choice, deep down though, she felt guilt

You find yourself standing in a square, surrounded by soldiers. Upon a stand sits a woman in an elegant black gown inlaid with rubies, the soldiers all wearing black armor with red visors. Above the square hovers what appears to be a citadel, from which the platform has been lowered. The citadel itself is supported by eight massive mechanical legs, each securely placed in the streets of Hope.

Kami nods, with none of her usual smugness, or even a sense of satisfaction. You aren't entirely sure what she thinks of your choice, but you see the leaders of Hope approaching, their own bodyguards dwarfed by Kami's personal army, and they're forced to nervously prostrate themselves in front of her platform. Negotiations are opened, and you can practically see Kami slowly taking over their minds, as they become more and more complacent. The same thing would soon happen to every major government faction in the world.

Victor looked around at all the solders noting that they were all human giving him the idea that the singularity had placed him some time older than his own. Seeing that he could easily over power the officers he started calculating an attack plan then abruptly stopped.
"Attack plan terminated, Supreme Majesty's forces recognized. Suggested plan: Surrender."
Victor didn't question, but understood that where ever he was it was a time before his own. He slowly raised his hands and put them on the top of his hat.
"I offer no resistance." He said dropping to his knees. 'This is going to be very tricky if we are indeed somewhere in the past.' He said within himself.

The woman sitting on the platform suddenly frowns. She looks over at your position, and then briefly seems to concentrate on something else. Then she quite simply takes off the larger, more encumbering part of her gown, leaving a more practical dress, and walks up towards you, the soldiers parting for her as she moves through the crowd. However, astonishingly, the soldiers keep moving at the platform, and the people she was speaking with keep talking, pausing for a reply that isn't really there. It feels as though the entire square of hundreds of people is playing make believe, and doing it quite well.
Continuing with the odd theme, the woman sits down on a chair that appears after she's already lowered herself into it, and holds her hand out, a drink appearing in that as well, seemingly materializing from nowhere. The woman sits right next to you, looking at you, as a soldier walks towards you and addresses you. It takes you a moment to realize that this woman appears to expect you to also pretend she's still on the stage, and not within spitting distance of you. "Your surrender is accepted, however unnecessary. God's Tears is here to form a coalition, we are not a hostile takeover."

Moonbeam watched the display happen and closed her eyes, feeling Kami everywhere. She gently nudged Kami's presence in her own mind, not forcefully, but as if asking permission. She did not want to upset Kami, but felt uneasy with another person in her mind.

Victor remained on his knees but took his hands from his head.
"Authorization recognized: Kami"
'What, this is Kami? I wonder how far I have com back?' Victor though.
"Apologies, Mistress, but this may seem an odd question: What year is it, and where exactly are we?" His voice was sure and unshaken by the oddities around him.
"It is not wise to address her as you normally do. Hinting to the fact that you are from the future may cause problems." Victors CCS warned him. He had no intention of following it's warnings. Neither knew why they were there and all he could think of is to advise her as to not make the same mistakes.

Instantly Kami's mind swarms towards you, and you feel the attention of her many spiders turning towards you. Then, slowly, the amassed force retreats, as Kami decides you're not a threat. You find that you're able to remove some of her less powerful illusions simply by blocking them from her mind, but there are some which seem to be far too important to allow even you to see through them, like the one Kami uses to hide her own form. Kami has gone off towards some other fellow, although she had quite obviously left an illusion to speak to the government men, keeping up the facade of being interested in negotiation.

Moonbeam retreated from Kami's illusions and turned to the government officials, listening in on what they were saying. Moonbeam wondered if she could have an illusion around herself, making herself invisible. She noted to try it later, and crossed her small arms over her chest, listening

Aki nodded then said "So how would 2 people who are fast at flying do at distracting Kami? Plus those people control polar opposite powers like darkness and light. If that happened would that work."

Aisyle and Elysia exchanged a wary look, Jaquel was back and Kami didn't seem to have any control over him. They both knew that while it might seem like that was good thing, it really wasn't. It also meant that Kami probably had more, if not complete, control of Aisyle. Elysia thought about Aki's proposal, "Combining your powers is going to be harder than you think it will be. The natural reaction if both forces are equal is to cancel eachother out. You can control that reaction and use it to your advantage but if you slip up, it's not going to be pretty."

Kami frowns, as you address the question to her. "How odd. You seem to be completely unaffected." She stands, walking around you, and suddenly, you find that your hands are stuck to pillars of concrete. An odd person wearing a gas mask shows up in front of you, and you instantly sense hostility. Quite probably, had Kami not restrained this new person with a wave of her hand, they would have instantly attacked. "It is currently 2014. I believe you are a robot? Interesting, that you should surrender so soon. Tell me, what is your primary function? Your creator? Your objective in coming here?"

Victor only complied with the actions taken to subdue him only to make Kami feel safer when in reality this would have no effect on his actions. As the masked man approached Victor, he assessed that his intentions were not the best.

"Primary Directive has been lost due to the energy surge that shut us down. We should not divulge any more information than that."
'CCS disable conscience function'
"Confirm order."
'Confirm, notifications only.'
"understood."

Victor looked straight at the masked man in front of him as he began to speak. "My main frame was surged forcing a shutdown. With that surge my primary directive was lost, but my Central Systems inform me that you are one of my superiors."
