Order dug through her bag with a hum, "Vis" She called and he looked over, "Are they coming?" He opened his mouth and a thud was quickly heard, "Hello friends!" Pathfinder walked over, "Hey Path, you got our message!" Order called from where she was still digging through.
He nodded, "Oh yes! I can't wait to help you find your creator!" She chuckled, "Your close enough, wheres Wraith and Mirage?" Pathfinder tilted his head, "I dont know, but I'm sure they'll be here in a moment!" Anan hopped onto her shoulder.
"Here they are now" He said, Wraith walked over and dumped a bag onto the floor, "I've brought some supplies with me, just in case" She stood up, "And I asked our newer Legend to come" Another jumped down from the roof above.
"Nice to meet you two" She smiled, "I'm Catalyst, Wraith told me you could use the extra hand" She folded her arms.
Order nodded, "Yeah" She turned to Visitor, "Are we ready?" She asked, He smiled placing a hand on her shoulder, "Only if you are"
Anan tilted his head when she nodded, He perked and grabbed the rift device, "Hey! You weren't going to leave without the handsomest man of this team were you?" Mirage pranced over causing Wraith to groan, Order raised an eyebrow.
"Riiiiight, let's just go" She muttered jumping through first, the others followed shortly after.
They exited into a tech like room, "Oooh! This a very fancy room!" Pathfinder beeped, Order hummed, "Yeah....." Visitor crossed his arms, "Lets look around, I'll go with Ord" He said.
-----------------------------------
Aurelia snarled stomping around the hall, "Is something troubling you?" Chaos Agent asked walking up to her, She looked at them with a growl.
"Why can't we just kill the stupid girl! It'll save us the hassle" He then chuckled, "I thought of....something better, come with me" She snorted and followed him outside to where the stupid girl was being held.
Aurelia hummed seeing the stupid bird laying in a barrel of water, "Water? Is that your genius plan?" She snapped, He shook his head, "You don't know much do you, Phoenix are vulnerable to water" Chaos Agent pressed a button and the water drained out.
Paradigm sprung back to life in the chains and scowled, "Of course she's stubborn and is more annoyed than anything when she does resurrect" He tutted pressing the button and turning away when the tube filled up slightly with water.
Aurelia chuckled watching the bird thrash in the chains, "Thats a clever idea" She replied, He nodded, "I am aware, now how is the other male?" He asked as they walked back inside.
"You mean the one who's prosthetic I snapped in two? Pfft suffering i hope" He glanced up, "We keep them alive remember? But how is our esteemed guest of honor?" Aurelia laughed in response. "that big fool? He's turning to our side the more I expose him to our fun cloud" She shook her head.
"I can't wait to see the look on the faces of those two IDIOTS when they see one of their own is against them Oh it'll be SO much fun as I tear their heads from their-" Chaos coughed.
"Your rather.....aggressive aren't you? May I remind you that despite me being the evil one, I don't usually like to see heads seperated from bodies" He said, She scowled, "You never let me have my fun" He shook his head, "Your way of fun usually involves ripping people apart and that....isn't in everybody's best interests"
She snarled and stomped out of the building and took off.
Two people sat in a tree nearby, "Is the coast clear?" One asked, "All clear Vi, let's go" The Two jumped down, "I often feel like we were the only two on the Island to not get caught Aydia" Vi said as they flattened to the wall.
Aydia watched as the dragon on her back wrapped around her arm, "It often feels that way doesn't it?" She lowered her arm and the small serpent slithered along the floor and around the corner, "Lets go"
The two slipped out of the shadows and to where the dragon was waiting by a cage, Vi walked up to it and sighed, "Thats him, let's get it open"
Aydia walked over to a button and pressed it, the tube slowly lowered and Scientist jolted awake, "Huh?" He mumbled, Vi knelt down inspecting the chains, "Hello again Scientist" She said, He blinked, "Oh, Hi Vi" He huffed.
"Dont mind the short arm, Aurelia kind of ripped off my prosthetic" He explained, "Our original plan was to get you out of here but...." Vi lifted up one of the chains, "These chains are new to me, I wouldn't know them"
Scientist huffed, "Thats what I thought you came here to do" He leaned back, "Instead, I just want you two to go help Para" Scientist wiggled the chains, "someone called Rue, nice girl by the way, told me that they've been forcing her to die over and over as their damn sick form of fun" He spat.
Vi scowled, "Idiots, are you sure you want us to do that?" She asked, He nodded, "Yes, please, oh! And there's something that might help you in my pocket here" He lifted up his arm slightly.
"I've got it" Aydia dug out a small thin stick, "If you can get that to Ord and Vis somehow.....wherever they are it'll help" Vi took it and stood up, "Alright" a screech sounded off, "We need to go" Aydia said, Vi looked back to him, "I would say don't go anywhere" He laughed, "Pfft, as if I could" She shook her head chuckling as Aydia reactivated the tube.
The two leapt off quickly.
-----------------------
"Still nothing?" Order asked Visitor who shook his head, "Still nothing" She sighed, "Maybe she's already left" That was when Booster jumped up, "Life signature at four o clock!" He beeped. Visitor hissed at him to be quiet.
The two looked round the corner and Order blinked several times seeing the same woman from the video sat at a lab desk fiddling with something.
Order ducked back around the corner getting Visitors notice, "Hey are you okay?" He asked, She sighed and nodded, "Yeah...Yeah" He patted her shoulder.
She smiled slightly and followed him around the corner, The woman saw them and jumped slightly, "Oh! Hello! Sorry I didn't hear you" She smacked some tools down on the desk.
"Dont mind all the....Io junk everywhere, it's leftovers" She groaned, "Ah! I didn't introduce myself, I'm Athena, and I know you two are Seven members but....your suits have changed"
Visitor chuckled taking his helmet off, "Makes sense, I'm the Visitor, or Visitor if its easier" He glanced at Order who gripped her hand for a moment before also taking off her helmet.
Athena stood there for a moment in shock before stepping forward, "Your...." She whispered, Order was grabbed into a hug before she could blink.
Order quickly wrapped her arms around her as well, "Oh my sweet little girl" Athena whispered stroking Orders hair, "I thought I wouldn't....not after what your damn father did" She pulled away and looked around, "Wheres your sister?"
"Thats....complicated" Order mumbled leaning into Athenas chest, the woman smiled still keeping one arm wrapped around her, The other four walked over, "You found your creator! How great!" Pathfinder beeped clapping his hands together.
Athena tilted her head, "Oh yeah" Order pulled away slightly, "Mom that's Wraith, Mirage, Catalyst and Pathfinder, friends of mine" She explained, The other chuckled, "Well its nice to meet you all" Visitors comms started beeping and he lifted his arm up.
"Visitor, this is Vi do you copy?" A voice came through, "Copy Vi, how are you managing to contact us?" He replied, everyone else watched as he talked.
"Not enough time to explain, but we have a way to free Paradigm, if you can get here, there's a chance we can pull this off" She explained, Visitor nodded to Booster who started a rift, "We're on our way"
Order hummed looking at Athena, "Are you going to stay here?" She asked, The woman smirked pressing a button and armor encased her body, "Nope, I'm coming with you, I want to see what fun you get up to with the Seven" Order went red and coughed.
Another rift suddenly opened and another person walked out, "Wh- Sarah?!" Anan yelled, A robot walked out onto her shoulder, "Esmeray!" Booster called, the AI nodded, "Hello boys, Sarah was eager for some....action" She looked up.
Sarah nodded, "Yes, I am, I borrowed some of the armor from a while ago, Esmeray briefed me on what happened" She added on, Visitor shrugged, "The more the merrier, let's go"
The group stepped our next go Vi and Aydia, "Hello all of you" She pointed to the side of the building, "Thats where she is, Aurelia and Chaos are away, nows our best chance to go" She threw a small thin tube to Order, "You can get her out with this, we'll alert you if they return"
Wraith stood up, "We'll provide distractions incase" Mirage then laughed, "Exactly what she said" Visitor rolled his eyes, "Lets move everyone, Ord you stick with me" He called.
when they reached the machine Athena frowned, "Pass it here, I can shut it down" Order passed her the stick and she knelt down by the control panel.
"Guess we're covering" Anan muttered from his pouch, Booster then perked up, "Uhhhh not for long!" He yelled just as Aurelia landed nearby with a deep laugh, "Oh HOW LONG IVE WAITED FOR A CHANCE TO RIP YOU TWO APART!" She snarled.
Sarah frowned, "Esmeray told me this is the one who did that" She nodded to the tube, Aurelia smirked, "Well yes I did, and I'm damn proud of it, any chance to make that stupid brat suffer is pleasure to my ears" She roared and charged forward.
Order blinked when Sarah stepped forward, "What are y-" The woman's armor gauntlet charged blue and slammed into the dragon making her slam into the ground, "WHAT! HOW DARE!" She scowled when Sarah grabbed her throat.
"You" She growled, "Are responsible for hurting MY DAUGHTER! your damn lucky I'm not killing you right now" She gripped the dragons throat and threw her away into a wall, Aurelia scrambled up and flew away without a word.
"That....was AMAZING!" Order yelled when Sarah walked back over as the cage and water vanished, "I've been making some improvements" She replied, Visitor chuckled watching Athena tap the small stick onto the chains.
The black metal vanished and the Phoenix vanished leaving Paradigm on the floor barely moving, Horus popped out and Athena caught him, "Oh you poor thing" She whispered.
Aurelia suddenly appeared again but radiating with gold, "Oh CRAP!" Order yelled helping put Paradigm onto Sarah's arms.
a rift opened nearby getting their attention, "LETS GO!" Wraith yelled, "Can't argue with that!" Visitor replied making sure the others got in before following.

Lifeline puffed sitting back, Order stood on the other side of the room with Athena and Sarah, They had managed to get Paradigm to a spare room in Mirages bar.
"All I can say, she's lost a lot a lot of energy from the whole dyin thing you explained to me" Lifeline started.
"Her little buddy will hopefully be up in no time, but she won't properly heal without extra help" The medic added on, Order hummed, Athena tapped her arm, "There may be something that can help" She tapped a button on her suit and a hologram appeared, "Theres some creatures in another Reality that possess healing abilities" She explained.
"If we can convince them to come help, healing her won't be a problem, the extra backup is nice as well" Athena flicked the hologram away, Visitor unfolded his arms, "Do you know which Reality?" He asked her.
She nodded, "Reality 827 to be exact, I'll come with you" He smiled and nodded back, "I'm coming as well" Order added on walking over, Sarah hummed, "So will I, I know my daughter will be safe with all of you in the meantime" She looked to the Legends.
Bangalore stepped forward, "Dont worry, we'll look after her while your gone, she's a close friend of ours as well" Sarah smiled and turned to the others.
Visitor placed his hands on hips, "Well, let's hope this Reality 827 won't be too hostile"
