Location: Unknown Earth-like Planet


The sky was clouded in a thick, purple cloud of Miasma. No light, no matter how strong, could pierce the thick vapor. It's as though as the light in the heavens was being devoured by this thick plume of poison. Following the monstrous cloud were dozens of Suuta.

The smaller Suuta were once human. Their spines were forced up through the back of their heads, creating something resembling a snake. Others used to be dogs until they mutated. The dogs with ten heads follow the humanoid Suuta into the frey. Another world was about to fall to the Suuta.

Their plague branched across the multiverse and this was only another meal for the dark curse.

The modern city the Suuta were charging to, however, had a surprise.


A young boy leaped down from the sky, landing in the middle of a deserted street. "Uh..uh.." he looked up as he saw the Suuta rampaging through the road, coming straight toward him. The dog demons ran as fast they could, closing the gap between themselves and Asterik.

They're demons Asterik, you have to fight... You have to fight... You have to fight!

The child took in a deep breath as he gripped his swords firmly.

Come on... come on... you're already infected, you know how it feels... you can't let other people suffer!

With another breath, Asterik brought one of the swords into the air. "BACK OFF!" the small child stabbed the tip of the Gaia Ripper into the street. A large flood of white magical energy surged through the cement, ripping it to pieces. The road burst apart, launching debris at the enemy dogs.

The result of the attack ripped the street into the air, forming a towering wall between Asterik and the demons.


Asterik's attack did nothing as the dogs quickly ran around the make-shift barrier. With their teeth barred, their blood lust reaching its acme, they lunge forward to attack the small child.


Asterik, with his eyes shrouded in fear, quickly began a sprint back to the opposite side of the street.

Those demons were going to rip him apart. Bit by bit, his flesh would be tore from his body. His armor wouldn't protect him from those things.

No.. fight, fight, fight.. Why are you running?

The boy ran on instinct. His heart pounded, he began to sweat in that helmet of his. He was truly scared.

"Someone.. HELP!" Asterik called out, hoping someone would come to his aid. The other Seekers that he had come with fell to the infection. The Miasma had already been dormant in his body, and if it wasn't for certain medication, he'd be dead by now.

Lapin leaned against a crumbling building and attemted to catch her breath. This mission was supposed to be easy. It was supposed to be...simple...


Indeed, quoth Cid, the mission would be simple: Find the source of the Miasma that's killing the planet and currupting its inhabitants. All of the Garden's best SeeDs would be on the job. Nothing to worry about.

Lapin would be partnered with fellow SeeDs Tracy and Landon. Surely with Tracy's spell casting prowess, Landon's raw strength, and Lapin's healing they'd be able to handle it...

Then they went through the portal and actually faced the Suuta. One or two could be handled with ease, but they just kept coming.

Landon was the first to fall. There was nothing that Lapin could do. It was like, one second he was there, then the next...he was gone. Dead.

Tracy died soon after that, but Lapin learned something from his death: You need to hit them with magic. Hard.

Casting Shell and Protect with heavy doses of Cura had done well enough at keeping the young woman alive, but she knew it wouldn't last forever. So, she cast the best spell she could think of:

HASTE!

And she ran.


As Lapin wheezed she spied a horde of Suuta going for a singular target: A young boy.

"Someone.. HELP!"

Lapin narrowed her eyes. Enough... She straightened herself up and adjusted her jacket, then pointed at the young man.

"Carbuncle! Help that kid!" she shouted. A bluish-green fox/rabbit creature suddenly appeared behind her, nodded, and flew to assist. Then Lapin turned toward the Suuta and cast her most powerful (and her only) offensive spell. "HOLY!"

"RAOOOO!" one of the demonic dogs lunged forward and into the attack that Carbuncle had produced. Immediately after its body dissentigrated into thin air. A large explosion came next which obliterated even more of the strange creatures. Lapin was at least safe for the next couple of minutes.


Asterik held up both of his swords, facing the abominations. "SHIELD!" the boy yelled out in a frantic voice. He was shaken. He wasn't at full power, he was infected by the virus, and he may die here.

No... why do I have to fight? I can't do this...

The Astral Charm produced a large, dome like shield around his body.


Ten of the Suuta dogs leaped into the air and began to claw at Asterik's shield. Over and over they wailed on the barrier. Once they noticed that physical attacks have done nothing, they leaped back.

They all opened their mouths in unison as a blood-red energy began to build up in their jaws. Second after second the stock of powerful magic grew.

After the charge completed, each dog fired a powerful beam straight at the small child.

The area is flooded with the dead bodies of his comrades and the Suuta littered the city. Charles's tired, ammunition half-way depleted with very little help from others with very little options left for him. Standing on one of the top layers of the building where it would be somewhat difficult for the Suuta to find him.

"Someone.. HELP!" echoed over to him, Charles's looking for a way out first ignored the cry of help. Until he realized the powerful white energy blast was probably caused by him.

Charles sighed and looked over the window with the broken glass, though it was hard to see through the thick miasma he could still find the heat source of a small child.

I have no other choice than to help that brat.

He lifted his right arm/rocket launcher over the window and squinted his eyes, fixating on the pack of Suuta dogs.

"Good bye, douchedags" said in French. Charles fired off a small missile towards the shield and aims the missile towards one of the dogs. The missile half way towards the destination split off and formed into many grenades, peppering the area with a large amount of grenade blasts.

Matthew meanwhile defended the small child from harm, leaping into the fray. He was going to first make sure everyone was safe, and then start destroying the monsters littering the area. These creatures had a similar energy signature to Alucard, they may well be his Urban Legend Generations. If so, very likely they were hell hound rumors made real. He first created ten swords in the air, arranged in a specific position. While he was unable to cast Ragna Guard as a normal spell using the usual methods, making the runes using swords was the one way he could cast anything.

His swords alighted with Mana and the beam attack was easily dispersed by his shield. He looked over at the kid, "Hey, kid, are you okay down there?"

He decided to get rid of any more monsters, and brought Suzaku and Byakko into his hands. Maybe this area could give him some clues about the location of the next event. Insofar, this corruptive influence had spread to a lot of other worlds. He had found that even Anathema cancelled her usual raids for fear of what would happen if her knights got sick with that stuff.

The area around him exploded. From the heavens came a barrage of grenades that burst upon contact. Asterik tried to hold his protective shield up, but due to the dogs weakening it, it finally broke. The boy is launched into the air. His small body coils and flips in the air before coming to a stop three meters down the road.

"Ugh..." he tried to push himself to his feet but his body wouldn't allow it. He couldn't feel his arms and legs after such an attack. The small child shook his head as he tried to get to his feet. Asterik looked toward Matthew as he uttered the words "Help."


The dogs fired their beams but the assault never came to Asterik's shield. Grenades went off and swords intercepted their blasts. Each dog flew back and into the ground. Five vanished while another five remained. The remaining monsters stood up, growling at the newcomers.

Matthew put Mana in, and got ready to finish off those hell hound creatures. He rushed forward at an incredible speed, using some Mana from the environment to amplify his swords. He slashed at the creatures, there were only five left now, but he'd still need to be careful.

Each of his attacks seemed to come at the five remaining monsters at such a speed there was a red glow to his attacks.

The dogs watched Matthew carefully with their dead, red eyes. They crouched low to the ground as the male came toward them. In the instant Matthew got close, the Suuta creatures leaped back and spaced themselves away from his swords.

Each blade that came forth, each dog maneuverd away from it. They leaped and dodged every strike. Afterward they regrouped, taking a few steps back as they kept their eyes on the swordsman.

The shield is down and I can still hear the magic. I-is someone else down there? I need to at least try to communicate with them

"Hey! Are you ok? Can you answer me Seeker!?" A rather high pitched voice, though still somewhat masculine yelled towards the mess that the grenades made.

Charles hastily reloaded another missile and looked at the area. He can now see the Suuta though not very well. There two other people with the boy as well. Though the child is no where to be found.

Christ another friendly fire accident.

He readies his missile but holds off on the firing, not sure which type of missile to use.

Yeah, definitely relatives of Alucard. He saw me fight before, during the battle with that Fake Shuuji. I am gonna have to mix it up.

He changed swords suddenly, and used the Sword of Light next, the black blade splitting and forming into a hilt for a massive sword held, oddly, in just one hand. In truth, the good thing about the Sword of Light was that its blade was not heavy at all, and it weighed the same as ever. He swung his sword at the monsters as if he was struggling to lift a heavy sword, but then suddenly changed his attack into a swift attack striking at all the dog monsters at once by bringing another hand to the hilt.

If you want clarification on something, I could PM you...

Damn it! I'm almost done!

Cyrus crouches behind a pile of rubble and tinkers with the little bauble in his hand, peeping out to check on the fray every so often.

There!

He winds up the metal bauble and little silver wings pop out. After a few whirs and clicks, a tiny hatch opens to reveal a painted glass eye. Cyrus lobs it over and it silently flies toward the fight. Once it returns to him, he'll know if he can trust these people or not.

In the meantime, back to looking inconspicuous. Cyrus sneaks to another wreck further off.

Styx could see and hear the battle at hand, but had no idea on what to do. His computerized brain was running through the thousands of possible scenarios on how he would be able to help. In the mean time, he stood within sight of the others, and the Suuta.

"Gh..." Asterik finally stood to his feet. He was hurt but he had to try his best to remain standing. He wasn't ready to die, not here, not yet. "Alright..."

You have to fight or you'll die.. you have to fight or you'll die...

The boy kept thinking those words over and over. With a deep breath, he gripped the Gaia Ripper and the Astral Charm in hand. "Hey!" the boy yelled out as he ran. The small stature and amazing speed were Asterik's strongest points. He was nothing more then a blur as he swung both of his swords down to any Suuta that tried to evade Matthew's sword strike.


Two of the dogs leaped away, only to be intercepted by Asterik's slash maneuver. The impact of the swords ripped them asunder, causing them to vanish into thin air.

Matthew's sword struck true, slashing three of the dogs in half. They had done what he expected. They planned on dodging the heavy sword and counter attack. The Suuta fell into the mist, dissipating into the air.

I just can't stand here and wait for something to happen! I need to do something fast.

Charles rushed out of the small room and rushed down the stairs, hoping that the Suuta wouldn't ambush him, the building itself wasn't all too large 10 floors worth of stairs isn't very tiring to this professionally trained military officer, even with the heavy equipment he was carrying around.

He finally got out of the building and ran over to the commotion, knowing that they will be able to get him out of this hellhole.

Finally, I can see them.

Charles walked up a pile of rubble and saw two people out. He aimed his arm towards them, mentally holding the trigger.

"Hey! Who are you guys?" He shouted trying to understand the situation.

Cyrus's little spy hovers above Asterik's head. He's fighting the Suuta; he can be trusted, surely. The spy waits for the others to reveal information.

"My name is Charles" He said coldly. "I am also here to fight the seekers. What is a young child doing out fighting them anyways?"

His eyes squint less but he still holds out his arms out.

"Do you wanna join up with me and not get killed? Or do you want to rot here fighting these monsters all by yourselves with no support at all?" He said, tilting his head on his right shoulder.

Matthew walked back over, dismissing the Sword of Light for now.

He introduced himself to those people, "My name's Matthew Streika, and I'm a Seeker. And...Asterisk, I kinda have to agree, you need to remain safe. A Seeker you may be, but I cannot ignore the fact that you nearly got badly hurt back there. Just stay near us, okay?"

These guys definitely seemed trustworthy, maybe he could trust his mission to them as well.

The spy leaves and flies back to Cyrus.

"Are they safe?" he asks.

The spy folds its wings and closes its eye. Yes.

Cyrus puts the spy in his knapsack and runs toward the group, arms up to show that he's unarmed.

"Very well, you guys seem trustworthy for now." He said, lowering his arm to his side. It is noticeable that the arm canon reaches down to his lower knees. He looks around the area and spots some people outside.

"There are something out there watching us, I can feel its eyes investigating our every move..." He said, sensing at least someone outside of the hearing range of the others.

"I think tha-" Asterik tried to speak when a cold chill ran up his spine. The virus in his body began to act up, eating up any spare magic from the Gaia Ripper. "This..PAIN...it..!" the boy cried out, falling to a knee. Blood dripped from the outside of his mouth onto the ground. He was infected with the Miasma and it continued to grow. "GAAAHHH!" he breathed out, reaching into a sachel to his side.

A syringe filled with a white, transperent liquid. The boy stabbed it into his neck, pressing the syringe down. The white liquid travelled from the tip of the syringe and into his body. "WH-....AAAHHH!" another wail of anguish released as he retracted the syringe away from his body. "Sorry..." he stood up from the ground, gripping both of his swords. The boy coughed twice before turning to Matthew and the others. "Thanks for the help."


A loud roar broke the peaceful silence the group had obtained for the moment. A large beast leaped in from a nearby alley, smashing a car as it lanced in the street. Numerous arms made up the outside of its body, each one equipped with a talon. In each talon was a literal mouth, each one with sharp teeth, ready to rip into the group's flesh. The main mouth of the beast was a vertical slit up its body. On each side of the mouth were four, red eyes. There were three legs on each side, three inredibly strong legs resembling that of a spider.

It roared again as it opened its maw. A large, blast of yellow plasma ripped through the air, coming straight at the group. The attack was capable of electricuting any one of them.

Charles lifted up his arm and pointed it at the strange, horrifying beast. Waiting for the chance to hit it with his weakening missile. A surprised and shocked look formed as the beast vomited a yellow plasma towards us. Then a humanoid-shaped robot jumped into the fray and took the hit, his body being electrocuted quite badly from the look of things.

What the...? Now this is my chance!

He fired a rocket at the beast, upon release a thick toxic liquid leaks from the rocket. It bursts near impact, flinging toxic ooze towards the monstrosity and covering it with slick slime that absorbs itself to the creature's body.

Gotcha Charles grinned. He then ducked behind the pile of debris, so that the other team mates can take the hits he sure as hell can't take. He reloaded the rocket launcher launcher quickly, knowing that the creature isn't dead yet.

Upon impact, the yellow lightning entered Styx's body, violently electrocuting it. The monster leaned down, about to lunge toward the group until a rocket came forth. The toxic substance entered the monster's body, causing it to wince. It was a Suuta, meaning that physical means of attacking couldn't kill it.. but stunning, on the other hand, was another story. The beast walked forward, however slowly. The pain coursed through its body, causing it to yell out in pain, its advance halted.


Asterik took a few steps back, gathering magical energy into the Gaia Ripper. He had to wait, he just had to.
