*A portal open and sho minazuki walks out with a menacingly grin dragging his swords Along with him and sparks fly from the dragging swords*

*Reality condenses as time and space itself seems to thin, breaking apart as a rift it cut into the air Aitome stepping out of it, his eyes black instead of the regular pale as he walks up to Silver Hair, half heartedly waving Finally found you, getting to the rift is alot harder than I thought,

*Sho walks around bored and ready for a fight*

*Yu looks over as Aitome comes into view.* Aitome, how did you get here? *Though tired Yu stands up and walks over to Aitome.* It's been a while, not that I'm upset to see you but what are you doing here?

*a flash of light occurs on a nearby rooftop, the rift doesn't last long, only long enough for a young man to step through. He waits for a few moments, before sitting near the edge of the roof, watching*

*Aitome then pulls out a short sword and a Nexite crystal to show to Silver Hair, before sheathing the weapon, I've got my own rift weapon you know, not as well made as yours perhaps but it works, at any rate I was supposed to give you this letter, no idea why. *Aitome then pulls out a letter, signed on it is a name, "Michiko" to be exact, handing it over to Silver Hair

*Yu takes the letter and looks down at it. He's somewhat confused by the name written on it.* Michiko? I don't think I've met anyone with that name before. Well, thanks for coming all this way to deliver it. It must not have been easy to get here. *Yu looks over Aitome and notices the change of eye color.* Aitome... Are you alright? You look a bit... Different.

*Sho summons tsukoyomi as he is in the rift via a portal*

*Mona was here the whole time, as he never left the rift.*

Don't worry about the trip, I'm gonna have to get used to this dimension hopping soon enough, I can't stick around the Nexus anymore. *Aitome then frowns at the comment of being different, putting his hand up to his face to cover one of his eyes, Yeah... It's a somewhat long story but to explain it simply someone is coming for me, I did a lot of crimes in my homeworld and it turns out they want revenge, you don't have to worry about them, they only want me.

[You said "That means only those with justification for being within the rift may enter." So gotta let in Yu]

*Yu looks at Aitome sharply before speaking.* Aitome, you should know better than that. Do you really think people would just forget about or abandon you? If something's wrong I'm willing to help you... No, I'm going to help you if something's wrong. Even if you don't want me to, leaving behind a friend isn't something I'd do.

*Mona licks his hand and then proceeds to rub it all over his face* So, who's up for sushi?

What about that girl you stabbed in the leg?

*Sho walks up behind Yu-narukami chuckling* [I have my justification deal with it.]

OOC: You didn't really give justification, you just sorta said portals in, that's kinda just writing something for convenience sake. Following that logic, couldn't it be argued that anyone could just come into the rift?

[You never defined how though]

OOC: Really, couldn't anyone just mine some Nexite?

OOC: [To get to the Rift you need a special kind of equipment, which are the Rift Devices. You posses none and probably don't even know how to make them, sicne you don't have access to the knowledge that allows to even make one. So out of respect, please stop this.]

(Remember when I strictly defined how this place worked? Neither do I. But how it's being used by portal junkies isn't how it works)

[Well seeing i'm late to a party and again I have my JUSTIFICATION! so take It or leave it]

(*leaves it*)

Heh, thats my conundrum right now Silver Hair... even if I do fight there's no guarantee that nobody will die, and people will most certainly get injured, everywhere I go I bring death and pain, but if I leave I'll remove a threat for everyone, wouldn't that be the best option? Its like with the core, it should be destroyed as it isn't working well right? Doesn't the same apply here? *Aitome then looks down at the ground, biting his lip I just don't wanna be the person that hurt people any more, I wanna pay for my crimes so isn't this the best way? With the law right?

OOC: Long story short he had to specify portals don't work due to the frequent "I have a portal" shenanigans that go on. So that's something that happened.

[*Takes it*]

OCC: [The justification is that you REQUIRE a Rift Device. You don't need to be this rude, it's a serious lack of respect for both Yu and Aitome who are moving a thing forward. Saying "Portal" doesn't mean anything, it's not even logic, mostly an asspull at this point.]

[Pardon but I feel like you left out reasons how to enter so you failed there.]

The core was an object... A place is one thing, but you're a person. No matter what happens, you can't be replaced. As for your crimes, you've been atoning for them this whole time, haven't you? None of us are born with a place in the world. We have to make that place with our own two hands, that's the only way we can manage to survive. We stick together so that we can keep moving forward. Whether you like it or not, we're friends now so that means we help each other out when things get tough.

OOC: [It's called common sense.]

[to me it's you failed to define a bit how to get in]

*Mona jumps on Yu's shoulders* Not sure that means much from a guy who'd stab someone in the leg.

ooc: Sho, or rather, Dread, I suggest you let this go. This is a continuation of a certain plot that already has its key players gathered. Not only do they have the right to limit new joiners, but you're clearly set on partially derailing it for no reason other than to have a fight. *Drops mic and walks off*

Heh, there you go and make me question my logic, your a good person Silver Hair, I'm glad to have met you... *Aitome then smiles at Silver Hair before pulling out his short sword, cutting a rift into the air before turning towards it, beginning to walk into it but before he can even take a step a figure with black hair and eyes tackles Aitome to the floor, restraining him with handcuffs as he begins to speak... [Time for the villan to kickstart this plot!]

Heh... finally caught ya... you've changed alot since then, who would have thought a kid like you did all those things, I'm almost proud. Now then.. *The man then takes Aitome's rift weapon and fishes out his Nexite crystal without any resistance, staring at it before pocketing it Interesting...

( They didn't really need to define it, frankly. This is continuing a plot that has been running for a while. Anyone involved should already know how to get in, and while you may find it unfair, this is how things are. Think of it as a safety precaution to prevent asspulls. If you want to be involved, you should respect how things work, and this is NOT a good starting place for becoming part of this. )

Hey! What are you doing? *Yu pulls out his katana and points it towards the figure as he approaches him slowly.* Let Aitome go! Or you're gonna get hurt!

Ooh! This time, can I be the one who stabs someone in the leg!

Huh, you really think thats smart? Going up against me? This doesn't concern you anyways, Aitome here is going back to where he belongs. But if you insist... *The figure then condenses a mass of dark energy on his arm, tensing it up as he turns to Yu, drawing the rift weapon with his other arm You should leave Aitome to me, its not worth your time.

*Aitome stays silent in this exchange, not knowing what to do as his eyes go completely black, no hint of pale is left

Uuh, i'm not really sure what to do now. *Mona yells out to Aitome* Hey, guy who's being held down, want my help?

You really think I'll back down... Aitome's my friend! I'm not about to just let you take them! Izanagi-no-Okami! *The persona appears behind Yu in a blue flash of light as power emanates off of them.* *Yu rushes forward aiming for the arm the figure holds the rift weapon by strafing to the right while a stream of lightning comes in behind you as he changes positions aiming to hit the figure dead on.*

*Mona falls off of Yu as he does this. He lands flat on his face* Uh-ahhh! *Mona then gets up* Hey, warn a guy before you do something like that! *Mona then shrugs it off and pulls out his slingshot.* Eh, i'm a bit rusty when it comes to battle. *Mona flings 4 pellets at the figure.*

*The shadows on his arm then expand to create a small barrier as he turns to his side, blocking the electricity with the barrier as he parries the oncoming slash by striking with the rift weapon, he then uses his foot to kick Aitome into the previous rift behind him, as he throws the barrier at Yu, dark energy leaving an after image as it moves

*The barrier while flying in the air deflects the pellets, as they fall harmlessly onto the ground

*Yu swings his blade at the barrier as it simply bounces off.* I can't break it... What is this? *Yu tuns back to Mona.* Hey, Mona, got any ideas for this? At this rate... Aitome is... *Yu glares at the barrier, frustrated that he can't save Aitome.*

Hmm, let's try testing how this barrier work. *Mona rushes at the barrier then slices it with his sword* Maybe I can cause some sort of reaction.

*The shadowy barrier deflects the attacks as if it was a wall, before it dematerizlizes and returns to the figure, generating a ball of the shadowy energy Heh, you don't have to be worried about your "friend" I aint gonna kill her if thats what you think, no hes a vital part of my plan... at any rate, this is a waste of my time, catch me, if you dare... *The figure then uses the energy to fire a blast at both Yu and Mona, if it makes contact the energy splashes and burns their skin, leaving dark marks thag curdle and blister in pain, Oh, just so you know thats hate energy, it can't be healed by magic even if it is a little weaker than normal attacks, just thought you needed a tip. *The dark figure then enters the rift, closing it behind him as he disappears

*a voice was heard in the sky* Old.Nep:I'm falling! I'm falling! I'm falliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii--- *neptune falls from the sky to the ground, a purple butterfly shaped flies around neptune; it called croire* Croire: What are you doing? You should stand up already! *neptune get up from the ground* Old.Nep: Hello? You are the one who made me falling again every time I travel to a new dimension that I want to go, Crostie! Croire: I told you for not calling me Crostie, it is Croire! And you are the one who controlling me with this goddamn spacemen book--- gah! *neptune holds croire and opens her spacemen book and puts croire one of her pages and puts tapes on her* Old. Nep: that should do it! Croire: hey! What are you doing! Old. Neptune: no need to worry Crostie, I'll explore around just a little bit quietly to explore around the area. Croire: hey! Just shut up and get Me out! Old. Nep: Okay! *neptune stays silent and walks around the area* Croire: I told you to get me out! *Neptune still silent* Croire: *sigh*, it is no use... I just want to play around a little bit, like destroying stuff, but she won't me do it... *sigh*

*Mona backflips away from the attack* It seems the barrier can't be broken, but perhaps we can prevent him from using it somehow?

*Yu slashes through the blast causing most of it to be deflected away but some strikes his hand causing burns and black markings to develop on it.* What is this.... This pain! *Yu is brought to his knees as he holds onto his hand in pain.*

Oh no you don't. *drags Neptune out of the plot she's not relevant in*

He said that was... hate energy? Maybe we can counter it using the power of love.

Aitome... Who was that who took them...? *Yu remembers the letter Aitome handed him and holds it up.* Maybe... It has something to do with this? *Yu opens the letter and begins reading it as his expression tenses up. He gets up and begins walking over to the medical lab to bandage his hand.* I see... So that's how it is.

Hmm? What's in that letter?

Someone wants to meet me and the letter says no friends allowed. *Yu takes the stairs down the roof as he proceeds to the medical lab and bandages up his hand.* OOC: Should've just implied he did that last time, oh well.

Heh... *Mona takes a nap*

*Gamma sighs from atop the roof, taking out a jeweled piece of metal* How disappointing. I thought Yu had become so much more.... Interesting. *shrug* Oh well, all the more likely we'll meet again. *after flicking out the metal to reveal a knife blade, Gamma slashes through the air.... And is gone*
