"... 'Scare Tactics'...?" she quoted, hands beginning to tremble as more electricity surged through her nerve endings and throughout her entire body; especially her brain, which shot off thoughts like a tireless engine. "... He's afraid." She understood; those Black Skulls seemed rather intimidating. Especially with their secret. "... Otherwise, he wouldn't have recognized helpful, friendly advice with something to be intimidated by..." That was the problem; they weren't able to recognize assistance because of the fact they thought being offered it meant something was wrong with them that they had to prove wasn't, which usually only proved that there was for them believing that they had to prove it, and in this case it would be his blatant bluff. She sighed heavily, outstretching her hand as the book continued to glow, "Step aside, Blue. You know I always handle the talking." That's how it was, and it wasn't for no reason. She cleared her throat, then pointed to the Black Skull before her, which allowed her to speak through its mouth to the other end like a telephone. This was due to high concentrations of electromagnetism that came with the power of radiation within light, itself. She was going to speak to him through Blue's Black Skull on the other side.
*ahem*
Blue nodded, utilizing that time to draw from Shiniere the power of 'Signis,' of whom was her 'Living Shadow's' Lantern that gave it life and will and purpose. "He doubts our age... Our Union As One..." she muttered, knowing of her cosmic battle with herself since before time began; the conflict of Luminon and Nebulon. It transcended the Lost World's comprehension even then, when they came as cherubs in their own forms before. It was only one, Father X, that truly understood and respected them as ancient beings of Yin and Yang and helped the two pieces combine as one; 'Mugenon.' They then left the planet and promised never to return... That promise would have been kept if not for the girl to whom the two had accidentally bound themselves to so long ago. Now they were one with her; part of her, as two dual sides to her. That was the first day an 'Insangel' was born, and they all remember it well. "... As well as how far in the future we have come..."
They remembered the day, in fact, when they were sent to be bound to her. It was when the great 'Pisces' was assigned by the 'Chosen One.' They agreed with and proceeded his will, and he gave them that strange request in that confidential talk... And now, after all of that, here they are, being reunited once again through the same girl that they were instructed to watch over that day... "... That One Sees Very Far..." she noted, Pisces' eyes restored to her at their reunion again. At that moment, the former Pisces, 'Mateus,' of whom once belonged to her father, should have been succeeded by 'Mugeniere.'
As Signis, rather, Magenta slipped into the form of Blue, the two would become the two component piece known as 'Mugeniere,' which would be 'Mugenon' as 'Triere.' This came from the charging done by Shiniere, of whom was taking in the powers of Signis straight into herself, being the one who sustained both Signis and Blue for this long. From the direct absorption of the power, on the surface, Shiniere may not change too much, but within her Trinity Plane, where the two of them always resided in the background, Magenta and Blue would be changing and balancing themselves out through the power of 'Mistral.' "..." At that point, Blue raised her hand and accepted the power, Thus, their changes would be far more noticeable. She felt the Holy Lightning coursing through her fingertips, illuminating her once blackened gloves with a light glow, which seemed to become stronger the more Shiniere drew power from the 'Golden Grimoire,' thus becoming;
'Mugeniere; The Crystal Pisces.'
She focused all of the plasmatic energy into one arm, letting the other remain cool like an offed engine, whilst the outstretched hand radiated with a crimson glow that crackled like lightning. "Ready anytime."
Shiniere continued to drain the energy of 'Signis' trapped within the 'Golden Grimoire' out into her own, until the 'Crystal Blue Grimoire' that was in her possession as a heart shaped pendant around her neck suddenly turned a beautiful, illustrious crystalline 'White' color. She turned her head to see what had become of Blue, to see if she was getting the juice from the recharge, then smirked when she saw that she was becoming her True Self again, but now more balanced as a single entity rather than still separate as two. "My, it certainly took long enough..." she sighed with relief, hands still trembling from drawing power from the Golden Grimoire, "But now, I believe it's about time for me to acquire my 'Voice.'" She giggled to herself, closing the book and slipping it back into the hands of the Raigami through the portal. "Thank you very much, Raigami. I appreciate you holding onto that for me for so long. I do so understand how inconvenient it is for everyone to be so disorderly, but we're making it... Slowly, but surely."
She felt the sensation of her High Seraph back in place within her body; that old Angel of Bloodshed, Signis, of whom went by many names and many vessels in her time within the family. From Pumpkinhead to Pumki to Luminon to Megaera... They'd traveled a long way just to make it home, together as one. Even now, Shiniere was still ignorant to the truth about her two companions, who were finally now one being; Mugeniere. She still saw them as the two faces to herself, similarly to her mother's own 'Misery and Despair.' Yet, she didn't think for a moment that they could be part of something greater that even she had not been paying any attention to... Nor would she, until she did indeed fully understand their nature. They'd been with her since birth, but kept so much from her, for reasons she was still coming to grips with, even to this day... But she couldn't say she didn't always enjoy watching a plan come together. It was the pastime of a Tactical Military Expert.
"Hold your fire, but keep at ready, just in case the little snake gets out of hand, hm~?" She couldn't stand those untamed Dragons. There weren't many of them that didn't act exactly as this one did, which irked someone like her, who already had to deal with those things in and of herself, yet inform others that they were the same traits in them. Dragons were so difficult to deal with. You couldn't even communicate basic things to them without them wanting to bite your head off, thinking that it's a threat to their lives or a challenge on their pride and honor. Foolish lizards of old.
"Requesting MY presence, but cannot even answer a simple question? How uncouth." She was nearly tempted to banish him back to the heap he came from, being so completely... Foul. Reminded her of the demonic hierarchy, truthfully; they pose as nobles, yet know the very least about civility due to their savage nature. They merely like the image of being pristine, but refuse to do the work to actually be it, and then couldn't see that they weren't it because they'd already fashioned themselves in the image and thus figured it was correct since they looked the part. Being a High Seraph, she naturally already knew and understood those things... As well as her time as a Demon Overlord, as well.
"We'll see if this one is capable of learning, or if correction is beyond its comprehension due to swollen ego. Might have to teach him how to act, since he is clearly incapable, himself." She nodded her head to Mugeniere, of whom she would alert to keep ready. She had a feeling that they might need to use that crimson lightning soon enough...
"Thanks, little girl," Tsao said as he took his Grimoire back in his hand, flipping through it to make sure that the information on that electrical power was still in there. "Yep. All checks out, all documented." They had to write down everyone's abilities so that others could learn and expand on them, which was the whole purpose of the Grimoire project, in the first place. Keeping the powers in the family, or just documenting them so they didn't get lost along with the people who made them if they were to depart unexpectedly, or something. It was always good to have records for others to look back on and learn from or to further as they saw fit. He, of all people, knew that.
"We-hell, now, I wouldn't get too set on getting that 'Voice' yet, missy," he said after shutting his book, 'Signis' no longer within it, "You still haven't learned how to use those Eyes completely accurately yet, have you?" She was very proficient in their use, it seemed, but she was nowhere near Awakened with them. She thought a little too highly of herself, but it was understandable considering her heritage and her own strength. He wasn't ever too fond of the haughty type, but he definitely got that she was the little pampered princess of the Royal Children. "Yo, but uh, you let me see your partner over there and we might be talking some business in terms of succession. I like her spark!" He felt refreshed by her, and she seemed to be all for Balance and keeping the Peace, like he was. She might be the perfect person to keep the Sacred Isle in order whilst he went up to find a nice Pyramid to squat in.
With her hand still raised and ready to fire, just in case, as it was seen that they were less than trustworthy, she would speak up to Shiniere, "... They want to leave. What should we do with them? They are Dragons, after all." It was clear from the entire engagement with them just how the Dragons thought, acted and why they did everything that they did; perfect and clear example, as it should be, in and of the self of one, in person. "I personally don't think we should let it roam free until we know the location of wherever it came from. Simply to monitor it in case it has any bright ideas of vengeance, as is probably going through its twisted head."
Tsao-Rin's words, though very brief, actually had more of an impact on Shiniere than one would have originally thought. She was rather aware of her own severe shortcomings, to the point where even lightly noting on them was enough for her to place all of her focus on them, in and of herself. She was not just critical of everyone and everything, but also herself; something she'd picked up from her father, since he revered such perfection and upstanding behavior. She was raised this way, and thus, it showed. His words were like the sharp sting of a bee; not ready for the Voice. She thought herself very adept with the eyes, yet clearly, she was still only just a 'little girl' before the eyes of one of the great Legends. She nearly felt ashamed, even though she probably shouldn't as much as she did.
After gathering her bearings and collecting her thoughts of the situation at hand as well as the Raigami's advice, she took a deep breath and figured that Mugeniere couldn't handle this situation as deftly as Shiniere, herself, could. Signis was far too belligerent, as she'd always been, and Blue was far too cold and quiet, thereby making it more just Signis throwing her harsh words around in her righteous fury. That wouldn't help resolve anything quickly, which is how she came to the verdict; "Signis. Blue. Go with the Raigami. The man said he wished to speak to the authoritative figure around here..." she flipped her hair elegantly, letting its sparkling sheen glitter about as the White Grimoire that now belonged to her finished its own updating of information. "So, I suppose it would be best to diffuse this fire you've started." Besides, if promotions were in order for Mugeniere by terms of the Raigami, then she wasn't going to deny them that. "Follow him into the portal and I will close it behind you." She touched the Black Skull, gazing at the interior reality that The Silver Prince was encapsulated in, "But first, let our guest know that his request for an audience will not be ignored."
"Of course..." she muttered, lowering her glowing red arm and letting the generated electricity fade back into black. She turned to meet the eye of the Raigami inside of the portal, nodding politely to him. "Raigami..." Mugeniere immediately entered the Portal to wherever he was, to be escorted by him to the area of his choosing.
Tsao-Rin snickered to himself, finding it all too amusing. All four of them. "Heh. You kids and your silly little games. Don't play well with others, but wanna play games like you do. Can barely even play nice, let alone play a whole entire game." Certainly, the 'Dramatic King of Games' would know more than anyone about this sort of affair. He took the hand of the mistress Mugeniere and lowered her into the portal, "But I'll take care of this one for ya. You go handle your business from here." He would start to walk away, waiting for her to close the portal and cut the connection, but not before stopping and saying, "... Good work. You're pretty sharp. Bet you'd do your dad proud." He wasn't really here to look over the girls whilst they watched the Veritas, but it seemed they were doing a well enough job of not letting it go to hell. But with that said, he would be off with Mugeniere to his next designated location.
Shiniere sighed, finding this whole 'leader' thing more difficult than it should have been. She could barely understand why everything couldn't just be always going well and why situations like this just HAD to occur. Didn't other beings know better...? With a heavy sigh, she thought about her father in his time as Kage and wondered if he had these same issues... And if maybe, she had been too hard on him for doing his job, similarly to how things were now. The difficult situations were the ones that make or break you, after all.
"... Thank you, Raigami," she had to say, turning to meet his eye when he looked back at her, "... I very much appreciate your sharp eye and compassion." Once they were done, she would close the portal and release her newly colored White Grimoire. "Ai~Yon," she called to her Chomao, of whom would immediately be projected from the pendant around her neck, "Keep the throne safe while I'm out. Business to take care of." With her cherished memoir of her father set to keep things held down, she would enter the isolated reality that was created by her and appear before The Silver Prince in person.
