The Endeavor <\/em>and the High Sky <\/em>were back in the air and had finally completed a search for a Temporal Stop within the Mid-realm. Sadly, there were no results. They had returned to the Under-realm to search for one there and had begun on the Central Continent and planned to sweep the entire continent, then move west to the Western Continent and search there, then move to the Northern Continent, then the Eastern Continent, and finishing on the Southern Continent. The ships were still searching the Central Continent\u2019s eastern shores as Arsha sat in her ready room, looking out the window and holding herself to try and get some solace that she would see all of her lovers. Her thoughts were interrupted by her door chime. \u201cYes?\u201d she called.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s Lardeth,\u201d came the reply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCome in,\u201d directed Arsha. Lardeth entered the room and moved towards Arsha.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m afraid our ships have turned up nothing on these shores,\u201d sighed Lardeth. \u201cWe should check the rest of the…\u201d He was interrupted as Arsha whirled around and immediately hugged him tight. He was a little startled at first, then realized why she hugged him and so enveloped her in his clouds and hugged back. \u201cWe\u2019ll get them home,\u201d he promised. \u201cI won\u2019t rest until I know we\u2019re all safe.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI just miss them so much,\u201d whimpered Arsha. \u201cIs that so wrong?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNot in the slightest,\u201d replied Lardeth in a soothing soft tone. \u201cThere is nothing wrong with any of that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMalak to Arsha,\u201d came Malak\u2019s voice over the comms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGo ahead,\u201d answered Arsha.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cRellmeer and Felfar are currently in Crelima City, asking to see you and Lardeth as well as our visitors,\u201d explained Malak. \u201cThey say they have people of interest for them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cStatus of our search here?\u201d quizzed Arsha.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Central Continent has no Temporal Stops,\u201d reported Malak. Arsha sighed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAll right, get us to the Western Continent and start with Crelima City,\u201d she ordered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019ll tell my ship to do the same,\u201d chimed in Lardeth as he pulled back only to place his hands on her shoulders. They said nothing as they looked into one another\u2019s eyes. No words were needed. Both knew how worried the other was for their missing friends. Soon, Lardeth\u2019s clouds released Arsha as he left the room. After three hours, Arsha had directed Hiroki, Sonic, Death, Amy, and Lacey to accompany her and Lardeth. They were transported to the Desert Oasis city of Crelima City once they were over it and started looking for Rellmeer and Felfar. \u201cFelfar is a full Zephyr,\u201d explained Lardeth, \u201cand is usually at Rellmeer\u2019s heels. Rellmeer\u2019s an orange-skinned Fairy, so it should be easy to spot them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis looks pretty big,\u201d mused Hiroki as he looked over the city. \u201cHow can we find her with so many…er, what ARE the people with snake tails called again?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNagas,\u201d replied Death. \u201cAnd Fae should be easy to spot.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHello!\u201d called a woman\u2019s voice. Everyone turned to see an orange-skinned woman in a revealing dress with a Zephyr woman behind her on a cloud leash. The orange woman had wings and a pair of antennae.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere they are!\u201d announced Arsha. \u201cEveryone, I\u2019d like you to meet Empress Rellmeer Almaydia of the Fae Republic and the head of her Girl-Power Harem, Felfar Malmaf.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI suppose you wish to know our names,\u201d offered Hiroki. \u201cI am…\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHiroki Hishikawa,\u201d interrupted Rellmeer as her gaze went cold. \u201cI read the reports from Realmfleet. Let\u2019s see, we have Sonic, Amy, Death, and Lacey. Some of the newscasters have said you were upstarts. You were labeled as the ones who were unnecessarily involved in the fight above Largandra.\u201d You could cut the tension with a knife as everyone stared hard at one another. Soon, Rellmeer smiled. \u201cA pleasure to meet you all. If you didn\u2019t intervene, a lot of people in Largandra would be hurt or worse. The real aggressors, Soundwave, Buzzsaw, and Davros, would have caused an unholy amount of damage. Any enemy of evil…\u201d she then held her hand out, \u201c…is a friend of mine!\u201d Hiroki accepted the hand and shook it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA pleasure to meet you, My Lady,\u201d he greeted. They released their hands. \u201cI heard from Arsha that you rarely leave your native Realm, much less your people\u2019s capital.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOnly in times of crisis will I leave the Capital Tree of the Drelda Forest,\u201d replied Rellmeer. \u201cConsidering what three new visitors have told me, such a time is coming.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThree new visitors?\u201d asked Sonic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOne wears the warmest of colors and has eyes of a fire\u2019s hot center,\u201d riddled Rellmeer, \u201cone is clothed in the grass\u2019s hues, and one is as graceful as a feline.\u201d The visitors thought for a while until Hiroki realized who she was talking about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTanisha, Alesandro, and Sheela?!\u201d he yelped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe same,\u201d confirmed Rellmeer. \u201cFelfar found them last night outside the Capital Tree. They were in a bad way, so we treated them and they explained that they received their injuries while fighting a, er, \u201cHell Ambassador\u201d, I believe they called their opponent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAmbassador Hell!\u201d snarled Hiroki. \u201cOf course, he\u2019d be here!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHe vanished long before we helped our three visitors,\u201d answered Felfar. \u201cWe don\u2019t know where he is.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019ll discuss apprehending him later,\u201d declared Rellmeer. \u201cRight now, our new visitors need to reunite with their friends so I can give them all the information they need to find a way home.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou can help us?\u201d asked Amy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019ll tell you everything I know when we\u2019re all gathered,\u201d assured Rellmeer. \u201cRight now, we must go to the Great Lake Bar.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDon\u2019t tell Nazay,\u201d Arsha advised, \u201cbut Crelima City has the best Naga cuisine of all the Realms.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFollow me!\u201d directed Rellmeer. She took Felfar\u2019s cloudy boa and held it like a leash, causing Felfar to giggle a little, and led everyone to a long open bar. They all took their seats and Rellmeer scanned the area before spotting Tanisha, Alesandro, and Sheela. She waved them over and they were reunited with Hiroki\u2019s group. They all then sat down and placed their orders. As they waited, Felfar just rested her head on Rellmeer\u2019s shoulder and wrapped her arms around her. Rellmeer rested her arm on Felfar\u2019s shoulder while her other hand still held the cloudy boa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy Lady,\u201d began Death, \u201cyou mentioned you had information about how to get us all home?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYes, I did,\u201d chuckled Rellmeer. \u201cTanisha, sweetie, could you begin? They already know about your fight with the Ambassador.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAfter Ambassador Hell fled,\u201d explained Tanisha, \u201cwe all passed out, waking up in a hospital inside the Capital Tree. Apparently, the Fae are masters of size alteration. They shrank us down to their natural height so they could heal us. After we had recovered, Rellmeer came to us with a desire for answers. We told her about the Convergence. She didn\u2019t believe us at first.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI think my exact words were \u2018Trying to bluff a Fae with sci-fi talk is a risky endeavor\u2019,\u201d recalled Rellmeer. \u201cThat was until I saw the news of what happened in Largandra\u2019s airspace.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen she did,\u201d continued Tanisha, \u201cshe came to us with an apology and offered to assist us in any way she could. I was skeptic, saying \u2018Unless you know where to find a Temporal Stop, I don\u2019t think you can\u2019. So far, we\u2019ve yet to find one.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI was the one that explained what a Temporal Stop was,\u201d continued Sheela.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAbout Ms. Tanisha\u2019s statement,\u201d interjected Rellmeer, \u201cI may need to correct that. You know, the one about having yet to find one?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c…You found one?!\u201d yelped everyone, aside from Sonic who was still a little uncomfortable with Amy hanging off his arm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhere?! When?! How?!\u201d asked Arsha with hope plastering a smile on her face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt was within a woodshop in the northern district of the Capital Tree,\u201d explained Rellmeer. \u201cA soldier under my direct command found it and showed me proof of its existing outside of time roughly a day ago.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThat still begs the question how did the soldier know it was a Temporal Stop?\u201d remarked Alesandro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI have brought his proof with me,\u201d replied Rellmeer. \u201cObserve.\u201d She took out a small piece of dusty wood. She then brushed the dust off and, after a few seconds, it returned to its original position. \u201cSee?\u201d asked Rellmeer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSee what?\u201d asked Lardeth, his own grin starting to fade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHow the dust returned,\u201d explained Rellmeer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYes, yes!\u201d cheered Death. \u201cOnly if the object was in a Temporal Stop could it return to its original state!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDon\u2019t be so sure,\u201d sighed Arsha as her grin faded, feeling like Rellmeer\u2019s finally losing it. \u201cThere are numerous spells to preserve an object\u2019s state.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis is no spell!\u201d insisted Rellmeer. \u201cThere\u2019s no mana trace to say that it is!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDid your scientists figure it out?\u201d asked Arsha.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNo, I KNOW there\u2019s no mana!\u201d urged Rellmeer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHow?! Not even the Fae can detect mana traces without spells or equipment!\u201d snapped Lardeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019ll tell you everything on the way back,\u201d assured Rellmeer. \u201cRight now, I need you to confirm my feeling that there is no mana trace!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cVery well, we\u2019ll have our wizards and artificers look this over when we return to the ships,\u201d declared Lardeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhy not now?\u201d asked Sonic, eager to go home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBecause, right now,\u201d explained Arsha, \u201cour orders are coming.\u201d A trio of Nagas slithered their way to the group with plates of food ready for them. They had received their meals and dug in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

After the meal, everyone made their way back to the ships and informed the others of the new development. Arsha and Lardeth both contacted Rokalla to tell him that, while Rellmeer\u2019s findings were being confirmed, they would continue their search of the Under-realm and then make their way to the Over-realm and start their search on the Northern Continent. Rokalla then wished them luck and thank them for informing him about the change of plans before ending the call. Lardeth returned to the High Sky<\/em> while Arsha moved to her ready room, this time looking out the window in hope that Rellmeer was right. As she looked, her door chimed. \u201cCome in,\u201d she directed. Death then entered the room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAm I interrupting?\u201d she asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNot at all,\u201d assured Arsha. \u201cWhat can I do for you?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI spoke with your wizards and artificers,\u201d replied Death. \u201cThey\u2019ve confirmed that there\u2019s no mana involved in Rellmeer\u2019s proof.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThen the question becomes, how do we take advantage of it?\u201d asked Arsha.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s been done before,\u201d answered Death. \u201cI just hope Megumi and her missing people have also come up with the same idea.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf they\u2019re your students, then they most likely did,\u201d guessed Arsha. Just then, a small flash of light appeared on her desk before fading into a piece of paper with her name on it written in black and gold. \u201cWhat in the…?\u201d muttered Arsha. Death looked at the paper before her face lit up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOh, if that\u2019s what I think it is…!\u201d whispered Death. Arsha then opened the paper to read the contents. She noticed trim around the contents of the paper colored in red, blue, purple, pink, and green. Five roses broke up the contents in a circle. Going clockwise, the roses were pink, blue, green, purple, and red. A circle rested in the center of the roses, divided into five and each segment colored the same as the roses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c\u2018Arsha Royana,\u2019\u201d she read aloud. \u201c\u2018You are cordially invited to participate in the 590,492nd Verse Vs. Verse Rumble Royale, graciously hosted by the Chizaran Princesses. Declare (with no doubts in your mind) your acceptance and details will be made clear. Congratulations and, should you accept, welcome!\u2019 …What in the depths?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCongratulations!\u201d cheered Death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEr, for what?\u201d asked Arsha.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s an honor to be invited to the Verse Vs. Verse Rumble Royale!\u201d replied Death. \u201cIt\u2019s a tournament spanning across multiple universes!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOkay, so this isn\u2019t a prank?\u201d quizzed Arsha incredulously as she set the invitation down. \u201cThis is some sort of no-rules free-for-all?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNope, not a prank,\u201d confirmed Death. \u201cHowever, there ARE rules to this thing. First rule is the preliminary round. While you ARE invited, the hosts of this whole thing, the Chizarans, have to make sure they made no mistakes and will pit you against another invited champion to test your abilities. Neither victory nor defeat will matter, they just want to know how well you can compete.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSo, I could win, but the hosts may decide they made a mistake and deny me the chance to compete in favor of the guy I beat?\u201d inquired Arsha.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s happened before,\u201d replied Death. \u201cSometimes both will be denied the chance or both may be declared participants.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat about my duties here?\u201d asked Arsha.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019d ask the hosts themselves,\u201d advised Death. \u201cJust hold your invitation and ask your questions.\u201d Arsha then picked up her invitation and looked to the sky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGracious Hosts of this tournament, what impact will this have on my duties here?\u201d she called. Just then, five flashes of pink, purple, green, blue, and red light appeared before fading to reveal the five Chizaran Princesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNo need for all that,\u201d chuckled Rosadera. \u201cJust call us by our names.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI am Rojenthi, the Red Princess of Chizara, and the war-time leader,\u201d began Rojenthi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI am Azuliterii, the Blue Princess of Chizara, and the technological leader,\u201d continued Azuliterii.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI am Rosadera, the Pink Princess of Chizara, and the peace-time leader,\u201d introduced Rosadera.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI am Verdutha, the Green Princess of Chizara, and the environmental leader,\u201d called Verdutha.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAnd I am Moradelia, the Purple Princess of Chizara, and the history leader,\u201d finished Moradelia. \u201cTo answer your question, if you do become a participant, we will alter time in your home universe so you may continue your bout with no interruptions or worries.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe understand that mortals like you are busy creatures and we do not wish to interfere with your lives in a negative way,\u201d assured Verdutha.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMortals?\u201d repeated Arsha.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe had long achieved godhood and were subsequently struck with boredom,\u201d explained Azuliterii.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf you have any further questions, speak now,\u201d directed Rosadera.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHow long do I have to decide?\u201d quizzed Arsha.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou have until you meet two others that were invited to participate,\u201d replied Rojenthi. \u201cTheir names are Optimus Prime and Megumi Hishikawa.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt looks like you\u2019re on the right path to meeting them as well as reconnecting with your loved ones,\u201d mused Rosadera. \u201cAny further questions?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI think I\u2019m good,\u201d replied Arsha.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cJust a minute,\u201d Death chimed in, \u201cI need to know. What\u2019s First Place prize?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe have yet to decide,\u201d explained Rosadera. \u201cYou will know once Arsha meets Optimus and Megumi.\u201d The five then vanished, leaving Arsha to ponder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI believe congratulations are in order!\u201d cheered Death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI haven\u2019t decided yet,\u201d replied Arsha, \u201cbut it DOES sound nice.\u201d She got a slight grin on her face as she thought things over.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
