Shortly after Khrona befriends his first pokemon, Ditto, he is called by his fellow Riarukage, Maze, to come to his office so they may discuss a rather important issue. When he arrives, however, he sees that he is not the only person that was called by Maze, and now two higher ups of the Reality, DeMasque and Tatsu, along with a kage friend, Rion, from the allied village of the Depths are all in attendance. This is a difficult situation for Khrona…
Maze sits quietly at his desk in deep thought, patiently waiting for everyone else called here to show up. It wouldn’t be long, he knew, so he could wait there so quietly easily.
The first person to show, of course, would be his other Riarukage, Khrona. Wallking into the office with his wings folded down, they were so tightly packed that they looked as if they were not even there on Khrona’s back at all. And of course, right beside Khrona is Misery, whose hands are in their pockets coolly and casually. She speaks for him, saying just what he’s thinking without him having to say it at all.
Misery: What’s up?
When Khrona enters the office with Misery by his side, Maze looks to Khrona and crosses his arms.
Maze: “Something has come up and we need to take care of it before it gets bad.”
Only moments after Maze says this would the higher up DeMasque show up in the office, happily whistling random songs and flying around the office casually, asking Maze, “Need somethin…?”
Maze looks to DeMasque, a little agitated that he asked that right after he answered Khrona, and he would close his eyes, arms still crossed.
“Yes, but let’s wait till everyone gets here so I don’t have to repeat myself.”
And that was when Tatsu showed up, as if following right behind DeMasque.
Tatsu: { Yawn} “What’s so important that I get a call from Maze himself?” {Patti: lol}
Maze puts his feet up on his desk, now becoming more relaxed since all of the Reality shinobi he needed were finally here.
Maze: “We have work to do. Now then, take a seat.”
With a wave of the hand, he makes four red and white chairs next to everyone, that forth one for Rion, if he shows.
Maze: “Now let’s get to business. There is a dark aura I feel that must be checked and taken out. I fear if we wait too long and let it manifest, we’ll be doomed.”
DeMasque continues floating around, ignoring the seats purposefully.
DeMasque: So why don’t we just destroy the damned thing…?
+~Rion finally converges into the office with his trusty guitar, Rhythm, in hand and begins to speak~+ “I was here visiting and I hear about a problem? Is that right?”
Maze immediately greets Rion with a warm welcome, quite pleased that he was able to attend this meeting.
Maze: “Rion! Glad you could make it! We could use your help.”
Maze then looks to DeMasque, now talking to him. “If it was that easy, I would do it myself, but this thing is in another plane of existence. The only way we could get there is to be in different dimensions at once.”
Tatsu: So what do we do to destroy it, and what’s our reward~?
DeMasque: Tatsu shut up you dolt…
DeMasque ignores Maze and analyzes the new guy, influenced by him already.
DeMasque: “So you’re my new mentor, eh? looks at his guitar Ahh! I see!! May we conduct a melody of souls clashing for all to hear?” He holds out hand for handshake with Rion while flying upside down…
Tatsu: Such an asshole. I should shoot you right now, punk! [up in demasque]
Maze, a little irritated, “DeMasque, we’ll discuss that later, and both of you chill! For now, there are three different dimensions. Each one has a different guardian that has a key. We need those keys to get to their leader. So let’s make teams.”
~Rion looks at the random person floating upside down and disregards it, for he had seen FAR weirder things~
Rion: Hmmm, sounds like it might be fun.
~Rion shakes the hand of DeMasque, before responding to Maze~
Rion: Call me anytime you need to, I could always use a bit of extra work… Now, onto the business of these keys…
Tatsu stares at Rion, feeling a little bad about what he did.
Tatsu: Sorry for being so inconsiderate… My name is Tatsu and this is Liz and Patti, my weapons. {Liz&Patti- Hey} pulls out fist and holds it up to Rion “Pound it!” he smiles.
After that, Maze stands up and walks around to the other side of his desk, putting his hands in his pockets casually, ready to make the teams.
Maze: “Let’s see here… Rion and Khrona, you’ll take the Wise Claw dimension, DeMasque and Tatsu, you’ll take Sage’s Paradise, and I’ll take Sun’s flame. You all ready?”
DeMasque: Damnit, Maze! Why am I with this amateur…? sigh Fine, tell me where to go and who to hurt…
Rion, in response to Tatsu, “It’s alright, I don’t mind, it’s nice to meet you, ALL of you.” ~Rion listens as Maze speaks before responding~ “Hmm, this sounds fine with me, I’ll be ready in a bit.”
Tatsu to DeMasque, “Even though we have our differences, let’s work together for Maze, k? [puts hand out for handshake with DeMasque]”
A serious look comes to Maze’s face as he turns to DeMasque, “Your attitude is why Tatsu is your partner for this mission. If you don’t get your act right and if you two don’t work together then you’ll both end up dead. You’re a Sannin, start acting like one.”
Maze loses the serious look and slowly walks toward the door, “The areas are already corrupted and the guardians will be waiting for you. turns and faces everyone Let’s move out.”
DeMasque, after being scolded, scoffs at it all and signals to Tatsu. “Let’s go.” He gets into racing position and says, “Gimme a map or something so we can race…”
Tatsu, smirking, “Race? I don’t rush! [hops on his skateboard] Let’s roll! sticks out his tongue jokingly.
Maze: Okay, let’s move.
Tatsu: Lead the way. See ya, Khrona and Rion!
Khrona was feeling a bit uneasy with so many people around the entire time… He didn’t see anything but a lot of people crowding around him, making his stay here more and more uncomfortable.
“Maze… Can I… take my leave now?”
His voice was strained and low, as if trying to hold something within him back, but was failing. His wings began to unfold from his back, growing larger and larger, more menacing every moment they unfolded, and his eyes lost their focus…
Misery: Sh-shit! Calm down, Khrona! This meeting is over, right, Maze?!
Khrona hadn’t noticed in that entire meeting that it was over now and that everyone was leaving. He was too wrapped up in his own uncomfortableness. As everyone leaves, though, Khrona becomes more calm, and his wings start to fold back inward, as if averting a disastrous crisis.
“I guess we should go…”
Misery sighs in both relief and tiredness, “Okay, let’s go.”
As they left, a strange energy was felt, no one knowing what it was, Unknown, Sannin of the Depths that Rion came from, had heard the whole conversation, and he knew he’d have to show up somewhere, to help out before someone dies…yet hoping nothing of the sort would happen. He melds back into the floor behind the Kage.
And everyone heads to their individual missions.
