We open up in District 14, with Iris, Neve, Erhan and Thanna investigating a strange black prism, that blots out seemingly any light that touches it, they are discussing how to handle this situation..

  Iris: Prisms often turn straight white light into rainbows, so I really wouldn’t know to do with one that acted like a black hole?

  Neve: But aren’t you like, part Rainbow or something?

  Iris: Well kinda, my powers are taking over my physical form…

  Thanna: It’s kinda like how my powers over green light and green light constructs have been increasing in strength

  Erhan: Weirdly enough we don’t know what’s causing both of those things?

  Thanna: I think Optica’s defeat had something to do with it, but I’ve got no idea what?

  Iris: She claimed she was a god of some sort, perhaps her divine powers were related to our own?

  Neve: It could be the case, but I do think this prism has something to do with it?

  Thanna: What do you mean?

  Neve: It’s weird light blotting power seems like it could have wide reaching effects?

  Thanna: So what do you want me to do about it?

  Erhan: Yeah, what’s this leading too?

  Neve: There’s actually something that I want Iris to do

  Iris: Yes?

  Neve: It’d be pretty cool if you blasted the prism with your light powers

  Iris: Ok

  Thanna: Are you sure that’s safe

  Neve: I’m not

  Ehran: Oh-

  Iris blasts the Prism with all 7 of her rainbow beams, the darkness starts to chip

  Neve: Alrighty

  Erhan: This seems dangerous and unscientific?

  Thanna: She’s putting it in tho

  Iris’s rainbow beams burn a hole in the darkness…

  Iris: Ok…one final push

  Thanna: Go girl

  Iris’s beams tear down to the glass, the light builds and pushes out a beam of pure light through the other side

  Neve: What’s this?

  Iris: What do you mean?

  Neve points to how the Darkness begins moving off the prism

  Thanna: I got it

  Thanna blasts it with her powers but they flare and accidentally chip the Prism

  Erhan: Uhm…was this part of the plan?

  Thanna: No, uhm hopefully this doesn’t cause something to go wrong

  The Prism cracks into pieces

  Iris: Uh oh?

  Neve: That can’t be good?

  Erhan: We done goofed up

  The Prism’s dark powers burst out, revealing a portal

  Neve: A portal?

  Iris: We missed out on all the White World stuff so the universe is making us go on a strange adventure

  Thanna: Ok I-

  Green Light bursts forward and tries to destroy the portal

  Thanna: What the hell is this?

  Thanna stops her powers and The Portal starts pulsating

  Erhan: Did we make it angry?

  Iris: How did we make a portal angry?

  Thanna shields her friends while preparing for the worst, the portal snaps back and fires out two beings that look like Optica’s monsters

  The story has been illicitly taken; should you find it on Amazon, report the infringement.

  Erhan: Well this is interesting?

  Iris: So her specter sends more monsters our way, what is this madness…

  Thanna: I don’t think this is Optica’s doing?

  Fight The Corrupted Monsters

  When you win, they turn into slimy darkness that is sucked back into the portal

  Thanna: So what the heck are these things?

  Iris: No clue but-

  Her rainbow powers activate and she shoots a red light through the portal, which causes it to convulse violently

  Erhan: What the heck is this thing?

  Neve: Hold on…I remember hearing about a Pionin mage who could create portals that react to their surroundings

  Erhan: So what you’re saying is that you can work with this?

  Neve: Yes, I just need one of you to hit the portal again

  Thanna hits the portal again, causing two more monsters to appear

  Neve: Great, now watch me work

  Fight The Monsters while defending Neve

  When The Monsters are defeated, the portal snaps and pops, stretching into a portal that looks safe and gives a clear view into a place shrouded by darkness

  Neve: Well, I fixed it!

  Erhan: How?

  Neve: The light beams that hit the portal activated it’s defense mode, I simply figured out how to deactivate it

  Thanna: You’re smart, aren’t ya

  Neve: Yeah!

  Iris looks in through the portal

  Iris: So what is that place?

  Thanna: Only one way to find out?

  Erhan: We’re doing this, aren’t we?

  Neve: There’s quite a lot that could go wrong, but this may provide insight into the mysterious fate that befell my people…

  Iris: Well if we’re on board

  The Four of them step through the portal ending up in a mysterious world similar to The White World

  Iris: So what is this place?

  Neve: Well before we answer that

  Neve presses some buttons that the others can’t see, shutting down the portal and condensing it into a small portable rift

  Thanna: Huh, I had no idea you could do that

  Neve: Ancient trick

  Erhan: So you think that some lost treasure of your people could be here?

  Neve: Potentially

  Thanna: So, I wonder what caused the corruption of that prism

  Erhan: I personally think this place may also hold the key to fixing you and Iris

  Neve: Well let’s go into the unknown

  Begin ??? 1

  When you’re 25% of the way through

  Thanna: Woah…hey guys you should duck

  A powerful blast of Green Light suddenly shoots out of Thanna’s hand

  Erhan: Hold on, why did that happen

  Suddenly, a figure wrapped in a kind of dim light appears but it illuminates the shadowed surroundings

  Neve: More of Optica’s Army remains??

  Strange Figure: Hello Guild Members!! My name is Phote, it’s a name you best remember well

  Phote attacks the party but Iris sends her careening into a nearby rock with a light beam

  Iris: Ok Phote, what’s your deal here?

  Phote: I was commander of Optica’s Nightlands operations, but then your stupid guild defeated her by sending her to the barren future

  Thanna: So you had a separate army in here and didn’t rush to her aid at any point?

  Phote: Yes, but now I was stuck here due to SOMEONE here

  Another figure appears, slinging a ringed hand at Phote

  Phote: You!

  Thanna: Huh looks like we interrupted the beef

  ???: Sorry to get in your way Phote, but I’d like to talk to The Century Corps in person

  Erhan: So just who are you?

  Kutakahra: My name is Kutakahra, the ringed sorcerer and new master of The Nightlands leading a fearsome

  Phote: It’s technically MY army!

  Kutakahra: Tomato, Potato. I’m gonna use this army to take control of The Nightlands, then conqueror The Human World

  Thanna: I don’t think s-

  A Blast of Green Light suddenly fires off and hits Kutakahra in the face, leaving a burn

  Kutakahra: Rude, at least I’ll get to kill you easily

  Suddenly, a dark circle of energy hits Kutakahra in the back of the head

  Thanna: Who did that?

  Kutakahra: VANIEL!

  A group of Three Fighters emerges

  Phote: Aww you got your own problems

  Phote’s leg is suddenly interrupted by a powerful blast from Iris

  Vaniel: Hello Kutakahra, don’t think you can go conquering The Nightlands without me having to say something about it

  Kutakahra: You and your incescent friends have gotten in the way of my plans long enough

  Vaniel: Well Zenial didn’t have a son who was a slouch!

  Thanna: Huh?

  Erhan: Oh wait, this place is where The Nightmages came from, their attack led to Acantha setting the Centennials free

  Iris: That Zenial guy was old enough to have a kid?

  Vaniel: Uhm “Night Mages” is a derogatory term, we like to be called Nightlanders and Nightlanders reproduce asexually and can technically do so at young ages, but most people wait and wait I got distract-

  Phote: UGH WHO CARES, I was ordered to burn this place to the ground

  Cynthus #1: Well if I have something to say about it, then you will not have your way evildoer

  Cynthus #2: That’s right DEATH DEATH DEATH

  Neve: Each Head has its own brain?

  Armei: Yup

  Cynthus #3: Yummy yummy shadow snacks

  Kutakahra: I think Head #3 is broken

  Phote: Graah I don’t care you’re all gonna die

  Thanna: Hey Vaniel!

  Vaniel: What is it Guild Member?

  Thanna: Interested in joining forces?

  Vaniel: Sure

  Armei: Oh we’re going

  Erhan: Hey I don’t mind!

  Armei, Vaniel and Cynthus join the party

  Phote: Oh darn it!!

  Kutakahra: Well I’m not teaming up with you

  Kutakahra leaves

  Phote: I’m not scared of your intrepid alliance

  Fight against Phote

  When she has 75% of her health left

  Phote: I know when to fold my hand

  Erhan: So you’re a coward like the original Optica?

  Phote: On the contrary

  Phote manifests a massive spear

  Cynthus #2: What’s this got to do with anything?

  Phote: This is how I fold

  Phote throws the spear, creating a flash of strong blinding light

  Thanna: Oh no

  A powerful beam from Thanna rings out to Phote who absorbs the light and disappears

  Armei: Darn it, that infernal witch is gonna cause problems for us

  Thanna: I got to-

  Thanna tries using her light powers but they do not work

  Iris: What the heck is this?

  Thanna: You can’t use your abilities either?

  Vaniel: So it looks like you two need fixing?

  Armei: Do we have to go to Akhine Temple?

  Neve: Akhine? That’s the name of an ancient Pionin God?

  Cynthus #3: Pionin Pie!!

  Cynthus #2: You’re such an idiot

  Cynthus #1: Yeah, Akhine Temple has Pionins living there, what’s the big deal?

  Neve: I thought I was the only one?

  Armei: Huh?

  Neve: I was told that there weren’t any Pionins left on Earth and that I was the last one?

  Armei: Oh, yeah that made sense, but yeah you WERE the only Pionin left on Earth?

  Neve: Huh?

  Erhan: So two of us no longer have powers and Neve is no longer the last of her kind?

  Vaniel: A lot to take in huh

  Erhan: I’ll say

  Vaniel: Ah, well let’s go over the plan

  Iris: Go to the temple, restore our powers, fight Kutakahra and Phote, go back home

  Vaniel: Sounds like a plan

  The Seven of them take off, ready to head towards Akhine Temple…
