A loud explosion was heard above the labs. The clicks and clacks of glass could be heard. A hand could be seen grabbing a hold of a white pistol with a switch on being set to the maximum power. "Zeon! Stay here in the lab while I check this out!" A woman shouted out. She slammed a magazine into the pistol. She pulled the slide back chambering a bullet. She walked up to a door and opened it, holding her gun up in the ready. Then she opened the door, revealing the blinding day light. She held her gun with two hands pointed at the group of people piled up on each other outside of her lab. Oh man... Zeon was right... The woman said pointing the gun at the group.

Her eyes were a plain green. Her hair was a medium length and the color of ravens. She had pale skin. This woman looked just like the former and very first Rising Star, Kyll Vie. The ace of rebirth, but there was something different about this Kyll. "I would advise you guys to gather your bearings right now." She said holding the gun forward. She still didn't trust them. "I also would advise you guys to tell me who you are... and where you came from." Her raven eyebrows furled. Wind flew by her making her lab coat wave in the wind. The woman was wearing a black tight fitting turtleneck dress with a silver cross necklace. For shoes she wore a pair of black high heels about two inches off the ground.

Seated in his chair at the Guildmaster Meeting one moment, sent spiralling through blinding light the next. Zeno was lying facedown on the dusty ground, his hood pulled over his head. He coughed and blinked a few times to adjust his eyes to the bright of day. With a grimace he pushed himself off the ground and onto his feet. After he had checked his gear and belongings, Zeno looked around to observe the area. A breeze followed his gaze as it passed over rubble and destroyed furniture, covered in mages, in the middle of nowhere with only one huge building before him. He didn't recognize it at all, nor were there any landmarks or hints of a place that he was somehow familiar with.

The doors opened and Kyll walked out with a pistol held in both hands. Surprise shot through his mind as he held his calm posture. Had she cut her hair? Then he noticed her facial expression -she didn't know who they were.

"I would advise you guys to gather your bearings right now." Kyll said, mistrustingly pointing the gun at them. "I also would advise you guys to tell me who you are... and where you came from."

Zeno pulled his hood down. She should've recognized him by now... and what was she doing with the gun?

"Kyll, what's the meaning of all this? Where are we? Why are you holding that gun?"

From the world of Earthland to the strange alien environment of Edolas, Geno and Zeno had crash landed in a world parallel to their own. Landing crouched on one knee Geno began to play some sort of imaginary air lute. "Excellent!!!" Said the puppet as he shredded the Lute Invisible.

After finishing his sweet riff Geno noticed Kyll pointing a gun at him and Zeno... CURIOUS... "I would advise you guys to gather your bearings right now." Kyll said, mistrustfully pointing the gun at them...CURIOUSER AND CURIOUSER... "I also would advise you guys to tell me who you are... and where you came from." CURIOUSEREST!!! All the things Kyll had just said were strange... Kyll knew them... Kyll never used a gun before AND STRANGEST OF ALL THE HAIRCUT!!! SERIOUSLY?! THAT?! NAAAAAAAH!!!

"Kyll, what's the meaning of all this? Where are we? Why are you holding that gun?" Said Geno's confused sidekick: Zeno.

"Hmph! Zeno so naive, this clearly isn't the Kyll we know. Look at her haircut... SHE'S EVIL DIMENSION X KYLL!!!" Said the puppet as he point his finger at the impostor. "B-B-BUT THAT CAN'T BE, SHE DOESN'T EVEN HAVE A GOATEE!" Said Voice #1. "You fool! She clearly shaved it in an attempt to get the drop on us." Said Voice #A. "Exactly-Right! Ask me anytime!" Said Detective Geno as he raised his arm to the strange Kyll impersonator shaping it to the form of his star gun. "NOW DROP YOUR WEAPON!!! I'M NOT AFRAID TO DIE!!!!"

Geno stared the familier stranger down as he rose his other arm toward Zeno. "How do I know you're Zeno actually..." Geno's other arm turned into a cannon. "Looks like we got ourselves an old fashioned Mexican standoff."

As the chaos in the semi-collapsed main area was unfolding, the lights in Kyll and Zeon's working area were turned off. Stardust Labs had four large working areas, each of them connected to the central hallway that led to one door, that door was the only way from and to the main area. The working areas were separated by thick metal barriers, and each area had emergency stairs that led to the basement, which had one secret exit tunnel that would lead to the world outside.

Zeon locked the door to the secret tunnel behind him. He licked his lips and scratched his beard, then straightened his back once more. After having been imprisoned and tortured for so long before, his posture was off. He didn't walk straight, had an almost unnoticeable limp and he had the tendency to start leaning to one side. It hadn't been long since he was freed, he was still learning to walk and move normally again.

Nevertheless, he had a big and heavy backpack strapped to his back. All of their research was in it, including Kyll's steampower documents. The moment Kyll had rushed outside to meet their expected guests, Zeon had cleaned up their space. Whatever was left in their working area was old and abandoned research of those that worked in the Stardust Labs long ago.

Zeon had remembered to leave a note and some special supplies stashed away in a place only Kyll would find and nobody else would even bother to look.

With a grunt and a smirk, he pulled his hood over his head and disappeared into the darkness.

Moments after Zeno, Shuhei and the others had arrived in front of Kyll Vie's Edolas Version, another person was send through the spiraling blue vortex into the Edolas Realm. And just like most of them the vortex didn't let him off easy as it had spawned around 10 meters above ground and roughly blurted Frederick out straight for the ground. Where his body made a loud smacking sound as it made contact with the floor. Probably knocking the man unconscious for the next few hours.

Which might be for the better as it seemed that dice of fate itself had casted a rather peculiar and maybe even dangerous event. Bringing together people who's paths were better off not to cross again.

There she was, standing guard for her beloved guild master when the whole building began to shake. It was as though a black hole had appeared and ripped everything from the world she knew into oblivion. The floorboards came apart in sickening crunches and the roof was gone before she even realized what was happening. Her first instinct was to lunge towards Shuhei to make sure he'd be safe, but he was already gone. With this, she let herself float up into the whirling blue storm that had come upon them, wanting to follow her guild master.

The blue vortex sucked her in and for a moment, she thought she could see stars. Countless numbers of them. Was this what was beyond the skies? She was floating, she felt weightless. Was this death? Was this what it was like to die? Maybe something happened to her when she was at the meeting. It would make sense, since she wasn't able to see anyone else in much panic, or did this disaster happen too fast? All these questions were making her head spin. So she did what she could think of. She let it happen. She let herself float without a care.

With a bright flash of white light, Tsubaki was blinded. The next thing she knew, she was plummeting towards the ground. She panicked when she realized she was heading straight for where Shuhei was standing. A loud thud could be heard as she landed right on her white haired guild master. She shook her head as the fall made her quite flustered, but then quickly gasped and stood up, quickly trying to help up the white dragon slayer. She didn't even notice the woman pointing the pistol at the group. A group! There were more people here than she first thought. She saw Zeno, the guild master of Eclipse Soul and Zenshin, of Sabertooth. However, she saw a little puppet-like man who she never saw. What caught her off guard was that he was animate.

Her heart skipped a beat when she saw the former guild master of Savage Skull laying next to them, unconscious. He had recently joined Sabertooth, seeming to have a change of heart. She actually applauded him for being able to do this. Face the people he once harmed. And she admired his ability to renounce his evil ways. her attention then returned to the woman with the pistol. Tsubaki quickly began preparing a spell when she realized that nothing was happening. She didn't have any magical power? No matter, she placed a hand over her sword, slowly moving Shuhei back, as she realized he looked to be out of it. "Please put that pistol down, we're not here to harm anyone. Hell, we don't even know why we're here..."

Ryo groaned as he sat up from the ground slowly getting to his feet. He had been on his way home to Ian when he was sucked up. He wasn't sure what had brought him here, only that one minute he was walking home the next second a flash of light and the second after that he was here. He took this opportunity to look around at who he was now with and his eyes were wide. There were a few faces he didn't know, but Frederick was someone that he knew very well.

When he saw that Frederick was unconcious he ran over to him and tried to prop him up and rouse him from his unconcious state by fanning him with his hat. He looked to the sound of the voice and saw the woman holding a pistol on him and the rest of the group. He was very shocked as one of these people seemed to have an entire dialogue with himself. Everyone was now raising guns and things were looking crazy. So Ryo thought it was time to desculate the situation "My name's Ryo. I'm a member of the guild Sabertooth. I can't speak for everyone but I don't know where here even is, or how we came to be here. One minute we weren't the next we were. I mean no harm to anyone here, I would just like some answers the same as you." he said calmly, but loud enough for all in attendance to hear.

Kyll watched the anima send all of these people slamming into her labs. The crashing could be heard. She looked up at Zeno who took his hood off revealing his face. Her eyes opened as she lowered her gun. "You look just like..." Kyll shook her head reminding herself that she had sworn the utmost secrecy when it came to Zeon. Kyll looked at the Exceed in her sights. "Oh my gosh... An exceed!" Kyll said lowering her weapon and rushing over to the lion. She took out her tape measurer and started to take his measurements then write them down on a sheet of paper. "From these deductions... You're a fighting exceed. Amazing!" Kyll said with a happy smile. She then turned around to the people outside of her lab. "Come with me. I know what you're here for. I'll explain it all when I get inside." Then the crash of glass that came from her lab. "We have intruders... great." Kyll rushed into the lab.

She stopped short to find Frederick on the ground. The hooded figure. She couldn't help but wander over to him. She was also greeted with Ryo holding him up. "He's out cold..." Kyll said as she put the weapon away then pulled out a small case from her lab coat pocket. She grabbed a cloth from the box. "This should bring him back... it's a sort of smelling salt." Kyll pulled his cloak back. Her eyes widened as she saw the tanned man and his curly black hair. "But... He's dead... Frederick..." Her jaw clenched as she placed the napkin to Frederick's face. She grabbed Ryo's hand and made him hold the cloth. "I'll count to 33 in my head and he'll come to." Kyll then put the medicine kit away and then pulled out her gun. "Wait..." Kyll said walking down to the station she worked with Zeon. She grabbed the note Zeon had left her.

Kyll Latuerie:

I have gone to the Stardust Facility. Meet you there. Be on the look out for knights. They could strike at any moment. When you arrive, the Stardust Scream will be completed and The Order of Chaos Embrace's work will begin.

Kyll crumbled the note and grabbed the bottle of pills she and Zeon worked on. "Okay... First... We need to take care of this experiment." She grabbed her second gun and slid both of the settings to minimum. "Then we will meet up... Pen Pen!" Just as she finished the name she screamed out. A penguin waddled into the room. "Did anything happen while I was out?" The penguin pointed to a corner then it started to point around the room at random objects. Kyll put a hand on her head and sighed. "Ruddy bird..." The penguin then shrugged and walked away. Kyll sighed as she put her weapon down on a table. "Welcome to The Order of Chaos Embrace, we need you guys here." She smirked as she tossed Zeno a super ball. "Eat it. You guys are the lucky ones that are here to help us restart our nation. I'll give you more information once you take the pill..."

Zeno could swear she recognized him for just a moment until Kyll got distracted.

As Kyll lowered her gun when Shuhei shouted at them, Eclipse Soul's guildmaster relaxed. Zeno hadn't noticed the white-haired guildmaster laying in the rubble until before. After raising an eyebrow at Geno and shaking his head in silence, Zeno turned around to see what the commotion was about. Shuhei seemed to feel unwell, but his exceed was experiencing something else alltogether. The little pet had transformed into a muscular fighting machine.

"Shuhei, are you all right?" Zeno asked, puzzled at what was going on. A moment later, as if on purpose, Tsubaki came falling from the sky on top of her guildmaster and Ryo, member of Sabertooth, announced himself to add to the confusion.

Then there was a sting in his head that almost brought him to his knees. He looked at Geno and could feel it instantly. The connection the two souls shared was still present, but he could not access it. There was no magical bond that he could interact with. With a calm expression but stressed movements he pulled out his deck of cards.

Nothing. He tried to activate one but it remained dormant. His magic was gone.

As he put the deck of cards away and painfully rubbed his temples with his left hand. He took note of Kyll once more. She had already rushed back inside to see who Ryo was attending.

As if things could not get worse: Frederick himself.

Zeno sighed at the sight of the unconscious man and clenched his jaws as he gazed over to Shuhei. Breathing in deeply and regaining control over his body, Zeno moved to help out the Blue Pegasus guildmaster and the others who were still out cold, but before he could even take a step, Kyll threw him some sort of object.

He caught it in both hands and looked surprised at the sight of the super ball and Kyll's directions as to what to do with it.

Zeno's signature calmness filled the space between him and Kyll as he spoke.
"Kyll, while I normally gladly put anything you prepare in my mouth... I would like some more answers as to what the hell is going on first. We all ended up here, but have no idea how. You seem to have been here a while longer, but you've cut your hair, you're swinging a pistol around, you're talking about all kinds of things I have never even heard of and even better, you're talking to a penguin."

He licked his lips and looked her straight in the eyes.
"I do not know about the others, but to top things off, I've lost my magic. I need answers. Now."

Kyll put a hand to her forehead and sighed. "Pen Pen, bring the visual aid. The Big Boss look alike wants an explanation." Kyll clapped her hands and the crested penguin walked up to Kyll holding a sketch pad. Kyll then reached into her pocket and took out a thin steel radio antenna. She extended it and then snapped her fingers. "This is going to be a bit over whelming for you guys, but I believe you all will understand what is going on. When the Big Boss brought this up to me, I had the same reaction."

Pen Pen opened the pad and flipped to the back revealing a badly drawn drawing of a black hole sucking people up. "This is the Anima. You guys were sucked into it." She snapped her fingers and the penguin flipped to the next page revealing people piling out and landing full force onto the ground with the "X_X" facial expression. "You have landed in Edolas. Apparently in your dimension you guys have 'magic.' WE don't." Kyll snapped her fingers again. Revealing a depiction of a cat with wings that had a very ugly drawn angry face. "This is our 'King' Sith Cait. He stands above use because he is an EXCEED. Now if you understand in history. All exceeds were supposed to have gone to your dimension. We were to be left with out magic, but he remained. Now he has been slowly siphoning the magic from your world, but now he wants your dimension to be fully in sync with ours." Kyll snapped her fingers then Pen Pen flipped the page to a picture of a human that is completely blacked out with a question mark in the center. "Turns out, that our sources have revealed to us, our king is really a human being who wants to terrorize our nation with the fear that we can't function off of magic. However," Kyll snapped her fingers again and Pen Pen flipped the page to reveal a happy face of Kyll Latuerie spinning her pistol and holding a vial in her hands, "through the use of natural resources I have discovered that we don't need to siphon from your dimension. In fact I have discovered that we can industrialize our country and grow as a nation using these resources. However," Kyll snapped her fingers again and Pen Pen flipped the page to a sad Kyll behind bars, "my discovery has lead to me being a wanted criminal. I was accused of treason and there are people after me. They want to shut me up. So my Boss, Rachel, started our rebellion." Kyll smirked. "That's where this experiment comes in. That pill will help out with your," Kyll giggled, "mojo."

Kyll then sighed as she finished pointing to each picture. "Now, you know my name is Kyll, but I'm not the same Kyll you know from your dimension. I'm Kyll Latuerie. I know, I know it means Death to Killing and it's kind of redundant, but that was the name I was given by the scholar who started me on my pathway." Kyll smiled. "If the name Emelia Flandre is of any use to you, that's my teacher." Kyll turned around. "From what I gathered so far, deducing how you described my other dimension me, she's got long hair and she must be a great chemist as well. As long as she isn't the doting mother type. I'm good with that." She began to turn around to her table and pulled a draw with extra clips and an extra pistol. Kyll removed her lab coat revealing her sleeveless dress and hung it up. Pen Pen pulled a changing curtain to shield herself from the group so that she could talk and explain more. "With the Anima appearing in front of Diamond Dust Labs, we're going to have to leave out of here, before the Kittens get here." Everyone could hear the sound of cloth rustling. Pen Pen moved out of the way to reveal Kyll standing there clad in red and black. She buttoned the last button on her regal double breasted jacket. She pulled a pair of white gloves on and then put her red brimmed hat on. She stomped her brown clad knee high leather boot to the ground and then saluted Zeno. "It's a pleasure to meet you Big Boss look a like. However, I was warned by him to ask for names before continuing on. Sometimes the lettering and pronunciations are different. Please. I have given you guys my name, and now it's time for you to give me your's."

She looked at Frederick with a sort of soft smile. She sighed and then made one last remark. "It's uncanny how much he looks just like our Edolas Frederick," her hand grippe and she clenched her jaw. I can't focus on his heroics, this one is not him... Kyll thought to herself.

'If anyone is going to use one of those orbs first.. then it's me!'

Now awoken from his unconscious state, Frederick had made his presence clear. And as always not in a good way. Not once again he immediately treated everyone around him with hostility, but who could blame him. Around him was a collection of mages that probably wanted him dead, or worse knowing what he did.

Frederick didn't got much of what was going on, mostly because he had missed almost everything that was said while he laid unconscious on the ground. Yet when he was woken up by something that Kyll had stirred up he vaguely heard enough to glue some of the pieces of information together. And among them there was one vital part, and that were the weird looking balls Kylls was handing out. Something that he couldn't get one of the others use before him. Especially Shuhei, who would probably strike him down the moment he realized the former dark mage was among them.

As Frederick walked up towards Kyll, he shoved Shuhei's arm out of the way. Who was eagerly awaiting one of those pills Kyll had to offer.

'Now what are you waiting for woman? Give me one of those things you are so eager to hand out, so that I can find a way out of this forsaken whatever it is... or if the occasion arises, fend off others'

Ryo watched the events unfold with great interest it really was kind of amazing to hear. He couldn't believe that they were even in some kind of different world. He couldn't help but wonder what they would think of Earthland, and Fiore. He also couldn't help but wonder just what his own look alike in this world would be like. He hoped it would be something, cool, or perhaps someone interesting.

He was so absorbed in what was being said that he didn't notice that Frederick had woken up so when he made movement it caused Ryo to jump. He quickly put his hat on top of his head and stood up slowly. He heard what Frederick was saying and he couldn't help but be a bit annoyed with it. He wasn't going to say anything of course, as Frederick was a higher ranking member of sabertooth than him, but he wasn't happy. With that aside he looked to Kyll and tipped his hat "I already told you my name madam. My name is Ryo Knetegawa. I would be very happy to help you with my experiment if it means I can get my magic back. I do kinda hate not having at least one card up my sleeve in a situation like this." He looked to Frederick and sighed once more before returning his gaze back to Kyll "And if helping you means I can help myself get back home, then I've no problem doing whatever it is you need of me." he didn't hold his hand out, but he was ready to catch one of those bizzare looking balls when, and if one was tossed his way.

Zeno's response to Frederick's awakening was fast. As the former dark leader stepped forward and caused all heads to turn to him, Eclipse Soul's guildmaster devoured the ball whole in an attempt to activate it as quickly as possible. He could feel the ball dissolving and spreading through his system from mouth to the throat to stomach, and as if it exploded, it sent heat throughout his entire body and left his fingertips tingling.

He gazed over to Frederick who was now shoving Shuhei aside. The guts on that man. Zeno couldn't help but shake his head at Frederick's foolishness. He was not going to find redemption anytime soon...

Through amazing slight of hand, several cards appeared in the Shadow Savior's hand. With a frown he shifted his eyes from the blind Shuhei to the man's exceed. He tried to get eyecontact with Leon in order to send him a non-verbal message. Zeno gestured with his hands at Frederick and Shuhei, as if he wanted to push them away from each other from a distance, meaning for Leon to keep them separated. Zeno didn't reckon Shuhei would recognize Frederick's voice, and as long as he was blind he wouldn't see him either. He then raised his left hand towards Kyll, gesturing her not to give anyone else a magic ball.

The only thing he had to do now was steal the show.

Zeno groaned loudly and started making disgusting noises as he dropped to his knees. His body started shivering, his face warped and started to look very sick. Between the coughing and the dry heaving and the heavy breathing he shouted.

"Don't eat those superballs... *cough* I just tried to activate my magic... *semi-puking* And something's wrong... *cough* Kyll, those balls are poison!"

Kyll scratched her head. She raised an eyebrow looking at the mage who was having a hard time. She pulled a stop watch from her pocket and hit the start button. "Excuse me, the experiment has started I have to write some notes." She took a note pad out of the inner pocket to her jacket and then she Even though it was considered rude, Kyll ignored everyone else and put all of her focus on to Zeno. "Maybe it's got something to do with the power of the individual. You come here to this land of no magic, and your resources are dry. So this pill actually has to go through your system and restore the magic power in you." Kyll began writing in her note pad. She then moved around Zeno in a fast manner writing down every single on of his mannerisms. [color=yellow]Amazing... Kyll thought. "For a mage you must be very powerful, meaning you're going to be down for the count for a good bit." She slammed her notepad shut.

"Look, the Big Boss would NOT give me poison for this situation. We may be a shady group of people, but we actually NEED you guys." Kyll smiled over towards Frederick. "So testy. Very unlike our Edolas version of you. He was a great person. Maybe you could take some pointers from the plaque while I evaluate the Big Boss look alike." Kyll drug Zeno so that he was sitting down. "HOLD STILL!" she demanded and grabbed some water for him to drink. "You'd think I was drugging you so that you wouldn't be able to function."

The punch that Shuhei threw towards Frederick was being intercepted by the giant statue like body of his exceed. Who had decided to stand in-between the two mages. Much to Frederick's dismay the exceeds body was large enough to block out his entire view of Shuhei, and he could only hear the man gasp in pain as his hand made contact with the cat's heavily formed abs.

The situation started to quell for a moment, as Shuhei's angers started to slim down. However Frederick's mind was elsewhere. Like how was it possible that someone as powerful as the Blue Pegasus guild master so easily broke his hand. Sure the exceed was large and build enough to do so, but even without magic Shuhei should have had enough fighting experience to deflect the impact of his own punch.
Frederick quickly enough put the pieces together, the fact on how the lion was protecting him. Guiding him for that matter. And that Shuhei hadn't already struck Frederick down where he stood, was all adding up. The once so famous guild master couldn't see. Being in this world without magic had rendered him helpless to such an extent that he was nearly blind.

Still with Shuhei in a blind state, didn't mean that Frederick was out of the fire just yet. Because right now there were more mages that might hold a grudge against him. Just like as he was holding a grudge against them. And then there was the exceed off course, who was build like greek god Zeus himself.
'Blind or not.. I still am getting that..'

Before Frederick could finish his sentence, Zeno master of Eclipse Soul started to grab for his stomach as he fell on his knees. He seemed to cringe in pain, and started to utter words that seems to relate to the pill that Kyll just gave him. Stating that they were poison.
But seeing, or better hearing one of the most powerful mages in Fiore crumble like that still didn't change Shuhei's determination, as he walked up to Kyll and boldly declared that he wanted one of this pill. No matter what it did to him.
'Tch off course.. boldness above logic. Wouldn't expected anything else..' remarked Frederick rudely 'You still want to take that pill, without even knowing the full effects of it on your body? For all we know Zeno will die during the transition..'

Tsubaki watched as a flurry of events unfolded before her. It seemed the woman that had held a gun to them had now offered some pills that she said would allow the group's magical power to return. Tsubaki was elated when she heard this, and half-ran towards the raven haired female when she saw that the guildmaster of Eclipse Soul began convulsing. The blue haired flame god slayer watched as Zeno fell to the ground in pain, shouting that the pills were poisonous. Just then, she could hear Shuhei's voice as he bickered with Frederick. Tsubaki observed but did not move. However, when she saw that Leon had protected the former guildmaster of Savage Skull from Shuhei's punch, she rushed towards him.

It was obvious that without his magic, Shuhei had gotten weaker, and so had his vision. She got to him just as he had smashed his hand into Leon's abdomen. Without even noticing it herself, Tsubaki cupped Shuhei's hand in her own two hands, making sure it hadn't actually broken. It looked as though it was simply bruised which made a rush of relief wash over the Blue Pegasus ace. When she looked up, she realized that she had been fawning over Shuhei in front of everyone. Her cheeks became a bright red, which made her turn away from everyone so they wouldn't see her embarrassment.

Ryo watched the events unfold and he wasn't the least bit shocked when someone began to compulse and such other obnoxious things. When he began to claim they were poisonous Ryo just rolled his eyes. "I know a bluff when I see one." he muttered to himself. He then watched the rest of the group and quickly determined that they all had come to much the same conclusion. Even the woman who was offering them made a sound reasonable arguement for why she wouldn't do such a thing. He hoped the man felt foolish about his selfish greedy actions and that he would regret them.

Still he was more concerned about the animocity between lord Frederick and the others. Ryo knew that if it came down to it he would be at Frederick's back whether or not he wanted him there, but he really didn't want to stir up uneccessary trouble. Still if people were going to behave like the clown had then he was in trouble. He really didn't care for such pathetic ploys and just walked up to the woman holding out his hand gently deciding to try his luck at the polite approach and asking rather than demanding or being hostile. "If you would be so kind. I would be very grateful if you would hand me one. I'd like to help your cause as i believe it is the only way to get me home. I have someone, and something that is very important to my heart that I must get to." he glanced over at the clown who tried to bluff everyone "If you were going to try bluffing you might've wanted to start with a bluff that wasn't so outlandish. Perhaps a simple it didn't work would've been more appropriate. Use your head."

With this done he turned his attention back to the woman smiling friendly at her and holding his hand out waiting for his magic to be restored.

Geno hadn't moved or spoken in a while, something no one noticed or cared to acknowledge in the current chaos. Geno's body was left stiff still holding his hand cannons toward what was now empty space. He couldn't move, he didn't know what was happening to him it felt like something he had never felt before an indescribable pain was being brought over him. A human being might describe it has being suffocated whilst having their limbs and appendages slowly ripped from them. The world itself was trying to wipe out his existence.

After some time during which Geno had to concentrate on just keeping his essence together, the puppet collapsed as Geno was no longer able to wield the power to even move it. The wisp laid there on the ground, unable to leave the puppet as he felt instinctively that if he left the puppet he would be instantly wiped out in his current state. All he could do was to lie and wait and hope that he could survive whatever was happening to him.

The wisp was left with nothing but silence he couldn't hear the outside world and his mind was quiet.We won't die here. A voice that was a stranger to Geno spoke out to him from within his mind, he could barely hear it though. It wasn't quite a whisper but as if it was being spoken from miles away. After a foreshadowing statement like that the puppet would usually respond with some type of witty retort but shortly after the voice spoke everything went black.
