"That is NOT what I meant when I asked for a way out!" Subgrounded!Hikaru glared up to the skies of Hell after she had picked herself up off the ground from falling. Picking up the fallen katana, Subgrounded!Hikaru started off for the palace. If things were going to continue on like this, then she would just assist her counterpart in finding her soul.

Ingrounded!Hikaru on the other hand and given up on trying to find the demon that had it and instead opted to find the demon that started this entire mess, that conceited general of Lucifer's. If she found Antonio, she could simply force him to hand over the soul form whoever he gave it to. And now that magic was back? That was a simple task of tracing his magic signature, which she did, and teleported right to where he would be.

K2323 had only just arrived and started walking towards the palace when he noticed Hikaru near the torture holes. Quick to run towards her, he shouted out her name. Maybe she could explain the absence of well... Everyone here, and why this place felt like Anarchy's domain.

"Hikaru! Wait up!" he shouted, running over to her.

Subgrounded!Hikaru was just about to enter the palace when she heard him and turned around, a frown instantly visible upon her face. "Well now it really is Hell." She glared, "What is it you want? I am kind of busy at the moment and when you show up things just get worse. Like this entire event for instance. We could have taken him, even without magic. He was BLUFFING. But noooo. Instead you insisted on giving in! And where did that lead. Almost being ra-" She caught herself before saying another word, "Well! ALL OF THIS!"

K2 · « **Reply #3 on:** August 06, 2012, 06:34:43 PM »

K2323 did not seem to pick up on the rape thing, lucky for Hikaru. He simply smiled as she went on and on about how he had failed, and stopped her, holding up the book in his hand. "Look, sis. I've got something he wants. We'll just bargain our way out of this."

Queen Bright · « **Reply #4 on:** August 06, 2012, 06:44:42 PM »

"Oh sure..." Subgrounded!Hikaru crossed her arms and rolled her eyes. "Once you are able to find him that is. The asshole pitched a fit and seemingly died. He has not been seen since. So who exactly do you plan to bargain with? His ghost?" She gave a short laugh at her own joke before turning back around. "Once I find my soul, I have a better solution. Take over Hell and destroy it once and for all."

K2 · « **Reply #5 on:** August 06, 2012, 07:00:22 PM »

"Uh," K2323 blinked, "Where's your soul? And where is everyone? And who's in charge now, if Radical's dead?"

Queen Bright · « **Reply #6 on:** August 06, 2012, 07:05:32 PM »

"That bastard Antonio took it. Teleported to the Spirit Realm, and no one. That is why the place is in an uproar right now. People are fighting for it." Subgrounded!Hikaru answered the questions but gave no attention to any of it as she made her way back in into the palace, preoccupied. Then she stopped, and turned back around, realizing what he held. "Let me see that for a minute..." She motioned to the book.

K2 · « **Reply #7 on:** August 06, 2012, 07:14:54 PM »

"Uh, this?" K2323 replied, handing her the spell book, "Uh... Okay. But if nobody owns Hell, why does it feel like... Well, don't you feel it? Anarchy... Wait... That's right. How could I be so stupid? You weren't around during the Plexan War.."

Queen Bright · « **Reply #8 on:** August 06, 2012, 07:32:30 PM »

Subgrounded!Hikaru took the book and thumbed through the pages, skimming what she could to get an idea of what was in the book. After she was done, she slammed the cover down and looked back at her brother, having ignored his questions. "What do you want for this?"

K2 · « **Reply #9 on:** August 06, 2012, 07:39:11 PM »

"Uhh," he replied, blinking. He thought long and hard, curious that she seemed so desperate to get her hands on the book. He could use this to his advantage... But what did she have that he desperately wanted? He thought long and hard, and that's when it hit him.

"Revelation," he replied, eyes fiercely locked on his sister.

Queen Bright · « **Reply #10 on:** August 06, 2012, 07:42:13 PM »

"Deal." Subgrounded!Hikaru tosed the book back at him to carry. "But I cannot exactly give it to you without my magic now can I? Since the book is no more, to give the magic to others, requires a ritual of magic to write it into ones spirit. Once written, it cannot be taken. Assist me, and we have a deal."

K2 · « **Reply #11 on:** August 06, 2012, 07:46:43 PM »

"Wait," K2323 replied, materializing a piece of parchment. "I know better than to simply take your word for what you offer me. I want it in writing. I want it in blood."

He handed her the blood contract, and the book for her to press down on. She watched intently to make sure she signed it when, suddenly, beside the two, a Chaos Warp appeared, rather unstable and quickly dying, and from it, Chaos and... Well... Someone with a bag on their head appeared. How had Chaos known he'd find his daughter here? Well. He hadn't. But he'd felt her very existence here in this newly chaotic realm.

But this was not the Chaos that Hikaru would recognize. K2323 would have seen his father like this once before, during the Plexan War, if he remembered it well enough. Chaos appeared to have no flesh, only a body made of some sort of dark energy that formed a cloak over him. His face was nothing more than chrome red, like a mask... With one set emotion, and no changing facial features. And it was glaring at the two, not speaking.

The bag headed man looked at the two of them, the drawing of a face on his bag looking in shock. Eventually he regained his composure, and said,"Uhh...Hey, niece, nephew. Hows it goin'?"

Queen Bright · « **Reply #13 on:** August 06, 2012, 07:59:24 PM »

Taking the contract Subgrounded!Hikaru shoved the book back into his hands, careful to avoid getting blood on it. It was a highly magical item, and thus normally meant blood could be an activator for all sorts of things she did not wish to deal with at the moment. How her brother did not even take into account such things, was beyond her. But all the more she bit her finger and signed the contract in blood, just about finished when the others had appeared.

"Great, more problems. Do I know you?" Subgrounded!Hikaru finished with the contract, rolled it up and then threw it to her brother, glaring at the new arrivals and ignoring the bag-headed one. "Because last I checked, I was related to no such..." She eyed the bag-headed man before scoffing, "freak of nature."

K2 · « **Reply #14 on:** August 06, 2012, 08:02:35 PM »

K2323 glared at the two new arrivals, sending the spellbook and contract away to somewhere safe as he stared at his father and, well... His uncle, apparently. Confused did not even begin to describe how K2323 was feeling. Today had been a roller coaster ride. And it was only getting... Stranger.

"Father?" he asked, glaring at Chaos, who responded by nodding his head towards the two and muttering in a rather distorted voice, "Rev... Rev..."

@Pokemon Master Red · « **Reply #15 on:** August 06, 2012, 08:14:44 PM »

"You met yer Uncle once, pink-hair. During that tournament, his name's Keith Bane. To not get into too many details, Im part of him, ergo, Im technically your uncle. We dont have much time to explain, but the short story is Anarchy may be coming back if we cant stop him. And bro here seems to think that this Rev thing is just what we need to finish the plan to stop him."

Queen Bright · « **Reply #16 on:** August 06, 2012, 08:21:19 PM »

"Father? Oh. You mean the leader of that group that is always trying to kill us in some way or another? I nearly forgot about him." Subgrounded!Hikaru's words dripped with sarcasm as she avoided looking over at Chaos and instead focused her attention on the man, or whatever it was, as she wasn't too sure if it was a man. "And I should care why?" Subgrounded!Hikaru re-crossed her arms as she looked somewhat amused, "It matters little to me if my grandfather returns or not. I was not even here when he died. Besides, I have my own problems to deal with at the moment...

"Why would you ever think I would help you anyways?" This question, Subgrounded!Hikaru directed to Chaos.

K2 · « **Reply #17 on:** August 06, 2012, 08:24:55 PM »

But in response, Chaos merely turned his face towards Hikaru and continued nodding towards her and saying, "Rev... Rev... Rev..."

K2323 glared at the scene before him, finding it curious that this man needed Hikaru of all people to stop Anarchy from returning. Which didn't make sense to begin with. Anarchy was bound to return. He was an embodiment. It didn't mean he'd be able to destroy everything when he did return. He would be radically different. That was how the embodiment system worked... Right?

"Okay," K2323 replied, "Rev... As in, like... Revelation? What do you need Revelation for?"

@Pokemon Master Red · « **Reply #18 on:** August 06, 2012, 08:34:04 PM »

The bag headed man sighed. "Really dont have time for this...Keith is rapidly becoming more and more the ideal successor to Anarchy. He was made by Anarchy, who made me as Keith's on/off switch. When Keith becomes a Embodiment, I flip, and Keith as a person stops existing. You know what that means when Anarchy takes over. As fer you, Pinky, I'd think it'd be a right good reason to care. Keith controls the plane you're standing in. What do you think's gonna happen when dad takes over and you're standing in his domain? Dear old dad...He wasn't quite the friendliest sort, you must understand."

Queen Bright · « **Reply #19 on:** August 06, 2012, 08:44:31 PM »

"Nice try." Subgrounded!Hikaru merely smirked, "But you are a little late. I already found a way to get out of here before that happens. So such is no threat to me. You are of chaos magic, correct? If so, you may hold the way to make something possible that would normally not be possible. Grant me a favor after your little plan, and you will have my help. Deal?"

K2 · « **Reply #20 on:** August 06, 2012, 08:48:17 PM »

"Wait, Hikaru, what are y-"

"Bro...ther," Chaos interrupted his son and turned towards the Palace, which he started walking towards. He wasn't thinking logically now. He was still going on pure instinct. Raw... Chaos. He could feel his brother near by, and was drawn towards him... Because it wasn't just his brother he felt. He could feel his father as well, if just a hint, and he was compelled to serve... That was his instinct.

@Pokemon Master Red · « **Reply #21 on:** August 06, 2012, 09:23:02 PM »

"Not Magic, no...But the other part you got spot on. And you dont know Keith, do you Pinky? You're family. Thats about the only reason he'd need to help you out." He said to her, before noticing Chaos. "...Uhh...Whats with him?" This...Doesn't seem right."

K2 · « **Reply #22 on:** August 06, 2012, 09:35:06 PM »

OOC:
[21:31] <~Hikaru> Nothing to post
[21:31] <~Hikaru> Skip me

IC:

K2323 watched as his father walked towards the palace, intently interested in seeing how his dad intended to open the palace doors without the guards there to open it for him. When Chaos got to the doors, which were, of course, giant doors, Chaos simply walked right through the door, burning a hole in it as he passed through...

"Uh... Maybe we should go after him," K2323 suggested.

Queen Bright · « **Reply #23 on:** August 06, 2012, 09:41:53 PM »

"NOT so fast." Subgrounded!Hikaru held her katana out to block her brothers way, "We had a deal. You find my soul or you get nothing. I will follow him and attempt to help stall whatever is happening. Get my back or we will be unable to do anything anyways."

K2 · « **Reply #24 on:** August 06, 2012, 10:26:35 PM »

"Damn," he replied, "I'll catch up with you guys in a bit. Don't screw this up, ya got me, sis? And you be careful, I don't trust this guy."

And with that, the sage disappeared, off to locate Hikaru's soul.
