Suddenly all throughout the mortal dimension a pulse of magic would be felt with a familiar magical signature as it swept throughout the dimension. And then, as fast as it came, it was gone, faded with the rest of the magic around. But not before a spark of gold lit up the sky on an empty planet no bigger than a moon a distance away from where the planet Aralia used to stand, what now lay, however, was naught but empty space.

From the spark appeared none other than, Hikaru Tyris, the Eldest Sage of the Sage Three who had been missing for nearly nine years now. Yet, she looked no older than when she had disappeared, and had not changed at all in the last near decade, the effect of immortality of the Sages.

As Hikaru fell to the ground the spark of gold disappeared as fast as the pulse had done which left the Sage confused. What had become of her magic so suddenly? Had that damn anomaly Smith lied in his actions? Had the Aralangs followed her back? Hikaru glanced out into the space that lie above the planet. Whatever had happened, it appeared she was stranded. Fate apparently did not want her to return.

"You." A calm, pleasant voice rung next to Hikaru as out of nowhere appeared a young man wearing a trucker cap "You are a real anomaly." The man sighed as he held a completely blank book "Like seriously, its a pain. Mind explaining why time herself says you are wrong?"

"Do I know you?" At first startled by the newcomers arrival and at what he said, Hikaru ignored her curiosity and proceeded to glare at him, awaiting her answer as she silently dared him to come closer or try anything. Her expression was one of pure annoyance; He was obviously a technology user, how else could he have teleported there?

"For one of the few times in my life I have no fuckin' idea" The man continued to laugh "Y'see yer book is empty but like, it recently just reappeared. Meaning I can find you." He let go of the book, as it floated out of his grasp it slowly faded out of existence "Now you haven't yet answered my question." He smiled as he came almost face to face with her "Why d'you reckon time's not keeping track of you anymore?"

Queen Bright · « **Reply #4 on:** May 31, 2012, 07:23:20 PM »

"Of course I have not answered," replied Hikaru in an annoyed tone, "You question without first introducing yourself. I have not even the slightest idea of who you are and yet you appear out of nowhere asking questions concerning a subject that you shouldn't even know about. So.." Hikaru watched as the book faded, recognizing it, but saying nothing about it. "Who put you up to this? My brother? The Anrufe? The Aralangs? Only the first and last of those would even know about what you're asking." She continued to glare at him.

"Sadly you're the one person in goddamn existence I know nothin' about, no idea who your brother is." Jay sighed "I'd say the Lady put me up to this but really I dont think she cares that much. It's more of a side project of mine to check out people who aren't quite right" The Templar laughed as he stretched "But you are right, pretty damn rude of me to not introduce myself." He held out a hand to shake hers "Name's Jay Stryder, Templar Elder, Destroyer of Plex, Hero of Light... But really im jus' rambling. How about you?"

Queen Bright · « **Reply #6 on:** May 31, 2012, 08:07:02 PM »

"Well isn't that strange," Hikaru smirked. "Considering my brothers book is blank as well. Both of them." She ignored his hand and instead looked at him skeptically. This guy didn't know who she was? Was that even possible? "I am Hikaru Tyris, eldest of the Sage Three the three most powerful magic users in ex-" She stopped before finishing the title, "Wait... Destroyer of Plex? How could it be destroyed it barely just woke up?"

King Jeebus · « **Reply #7 on:** May 31, 2012, 08:11:28 PM »

"Well, I stabbed it." The Templar laughed "Fortunately when you're the best there is that's all there is to it." He stopped a second, looking directly into her eyes "You been living under a rock or somethin'? It's been like years since I killed Plex, sort of made me a celebrity. How do you not know who the hell I am?"

Queen Bright · « **Reply #8 on:** May 31, 2012, 08:16:56 PM »

"I highly doubt that." Hikaru muttered, still skeptic. "Plex is barely known by anyone but the embodiments and the to the people who fought in the tournament. How could some ego tripped brat fight even fathom the claim of having beat the unknown entity? It's preposterous and I'm calling out your claim."

King Jeebus · « **Reply #9 on:** May 31, 2012, 08:28:22 PM »

Jay simply smiled as he simply shrugged "You can choose not to believe me if you want, wont change the truth though. Unfortunately, yer just a kid to me who may or may not need educatin'" He sighed "I mean, are you dumb or something? You might be one of those anti-templar nutjobs maybe?" He snapped his fingers as a silver spark shone from the clack and around them the wind stopped blowing, in the sky a single shooting star was stopped and generally it was as if everything had just... Stopped. The Templar sat next to the sage "If you are an anti-templar nutjob, hope ya dont mind me freezing everything a stop. Easier to think when the universe isn't carrying on around ya."

Queen Bright · « **Reply #10 on:** May 31, 2012, 08:40:35 PM »

"Are you some insane person or just plain retarded?" Hikaru saw the spark but just mentally attributed it to the work of technology. "So what? You can use technology to imitate magic when there's an Anti-Magic field up, big deal. That leads me to doubt you defeated Plex even more. As for Templar, I've never heard of such, some low grade empire that rose up during the time I was captured I presume? No matter, if it gained enough power it will be dealt with at the same time as the other empires. Now... since you are using technology, I can only assume that you are the one responsible for the current lack of magic in this area," her eyes narrowed further into an even more intense glare as she stepped away from him. "So I highly suggest you drop the anti-magic fields."

King Jeebus · « **Reply #11 on:** May 31, 2012, 08:46:34 PM »

"Most tech i've got's a gun, kiddo." Jay laughed "And this isn't really a uh... Normal anti magic field. I really can't get rid of it and lets face it, look at ya. Without magic you wouldn't really be able to put up much of a fight against me." He snapped his fingers again and everything resumed "And a Templar is uh... Hard to explain. We're strong, jus' leave it at that" He winked at the Sage, smiling. He knew that he could easily explain what a Templar is, he just found it hilarious to let people guess.

Queen Bright · « **Reply #12 on:** May 31, 2012, 08:54:28 PM »

Hikaru growled, "Call me a kiddo again and you will regret it. Anti-magic fields do not affect me. I found a way around those long ago. So keep pushing it, brat. And if you are so strong, prove it." She crossed her arms and mocked, You talk big, but so far you have shown nothing that a common mage or technology user could not produce. At least I can back up my power and title."

King Jeebus · « **Reply #13 on:** May 31, 2012, 08:56:35 PM »

Jay snickered "Go on then, kiddo." He smiled and stood with his arms out facing Hikaru "Hit me with your best shot. You can see where it gets ya if you feel like, just dont feel bad when I show you up."

Queen Bright · « **Reply #14 on:** May 31, 2012, 09:00:59 PM »

Growling, Hikaru glared even more, "I believe I told you to prove it first!"

King Jeebus · « **Reply #15 on:** May 31, 2012, 09:02:31 PM »

Jay smiled "Alright. Try moving."
He now held a more casual stance as he literally froze Hikaru's movement in time.

Queen Bright · « **Reply #16 on:** May 31, 2012, 09:16:37 PM »

Giving in to the bait with the belief that he was all talk and no bite, Hikaru attempted to move and when she found she couldn't, up went her temper. However, her expression did not change, even as mad as she was, she wouldn't give this guy that satisfaction. "Paralysis? More technological tricks? Not proof enough," she taunted through gritted teeth at holding back her anger.

King Jeebus · « **Reply #17 on:** May 31, 2012, 09:20:08 PM »

The Templar snapped his fingers and suddenly, Hikaru's movement would have been granted to her just as they swapped places out of nowhere. "You can pat me down if you like, the most mechanical items I currently carry are my credit card and a gun." He was still smiling, level as ever as he motioned to her "Your turn. Why dont you hit me with a simple fireball? Im sure a young 'un like yourself has gotta know that spell by now right?" This was of course, silly of him. He was always awful at actual magic.

Queen Bright · « **Reply #18 on:** May 31, 2012, 09:38:00 PM »

"That's it, you're dead!" Hikaru growled, dropping all formalities. "At this point I do not care who you are. No one insults the power of the Sage Three and gets away with it!" Yet, even after declaring this, Hikaru wasn't sure how she was going to fight him. He had been correct at one thing, this was no normal Anti-Magic Field. Probably the only thing he had been correct at. However, now that she had been within it long enough, Hikaru noticed her usual technique did not work.

Normally where she would encase her magic in Spirit Energy to avoid the anti-magic, this time there was no magic to even encase. Was it an Anti-spirit-energy field as well? But if that was the case her Spirit Energy would be gone, and that was still there. Whatever this field was, it was new and despite what she had claimed, Hikaru did not have a way around it. She would have to use a bluff to scare him.

"I will show you fire!" With a flick her her hand a ring of fire encircled where he stood, the fire a white-blue color, even without magic she could use Spirit Energy, just in small enough amounts that it wouldn't destroy her. "I wouldn't move if I were you, that fire is a creation of mine I call Spirit Fire. It will literally burn your spirit, in normal cases resulting in permanent death."

King Jeebus · « **Reply #19 on:** May 31, 2012, 09:46:59 PM »

"Oh man, i'm so freakin' terrified right now. It's not like I can undo something so...." He almost genuinely looked shocked for a moment before uttering the word "Tame." The Templar smiled as he stepped forward, the spirit fire seemed to simply just recede as it crackled at him; it was simply just returning to her spirit energy "Pretty though, wish my power was quite so theatrical." He looked directly at her "I didn't really insult anythin'. You're obviously not weak, a little too proud for what you can do currently though. Now you still haven't answered my question. Why is your book blank?"

Queen Bright · « **Reply #20 on:** May 31, 2012, 09:53:27 PM »

For a split second shock filled Hikaru's expression before she quickly regained her composure and crossed her arms, "Whatever. You are a waste of my time anyways. And I will ask the questions here! Why do you even care and how did you obtain access to my book anyways?"

King Jeebus · « **Reply #21 on:** May 31, 2012, 09:57:06 PM »

"Call it a hobby." Jay smiled "I'm a man with a lot of time, so to speak." He chuckled at his own joke "But seriously, book. Empty. Why? Did ya break it?"

Queen Bright · « **Reply #22 on:** May 31, 2012, 10:02:24 PM »

"I am still waiting to hear how you obtained it." Hikaru simply replied then rolled her eyes, "However, before asking stupid questions, how about you go obtain the books of both Kai Tyris and K2323 Tyris as well? If you can." She gave a short laugh, "That may answer a few things."

King Jeebus · « **Reply #23 on:** May 31, 2012, 10:07:44 PM »

They literally just appeared in his hands "Empty too, im aware. I cant find this Kai guy and i'm too polite to ask K2. Yours however just reappeared." As he dropped the books they faded and a new one appeared "But, your Negi's book however seems to work fine." He flicked through a little "Ah this is the page im after." He flashed Hikaru the page in which he and Kurai fought "She was a tough one." He smirked and dropped the book again as it faded "Like I said, im a Templar. I can do a lot of things."

Queen Bright · « **Reply #24 on:** May 31, 2012, 10:15:01 PM »

A bit surprised, Hikaru didn't let it show as she watched the books appear and disappear. When he pulled up Kurai's however, she again looked shocked, "Hold on... When did that battle happen? The last I saw Kurai she was infected by the Virus and left in the Sage Dimension, before that she worked with the Virus right after her creation... The battle would have had to have happened during her team up with the Virus, but Plex wasn't known to be alive then...." Hikaru looked simply confused. Were these counterfeit books?
