Locus
"Whats going on?" Locus asked as he looked around the barren field "well i'm only here to tell you that you failed, you failed and im now leaving, there i have no use for weaklings and failures in MY FAMILY" Bree said with obvious disdain for Locus as she disappeared into the wind and the sky started to become extremely dark, Locus started running in the direction that Bree disappeared "why in the hell is this happening? Last thing i remember is jumping into a pool of water and now THIS!" Locus yelled as he began to trip over something or someone "What the hell was that?" Locus grumbled as he stood back up, as he turned around he saw Felix appear from the spot he tripped at "Felix! What are you doing here? I thought i was alone!" Locus said he was almost at the point of yelling at him "You are ALONE and you will stay alone forever! And I am leaving you, you are way too WEAK to keep you around!" Felix said as he slowly disappeared into thin air. Suddenly something clicked in Locus' mind "Wait t-th this isn't real! This must be an illusion caused by the water! Well that would explain the name Pond of Dreams but it should be named Pond of Dreams" Locus said aloud with a slight laugh then all of a sudden Locus wakes up at the bottom of the pond and standing right infront of the purple glow and he looked up to see everyone else still floating there motionless, "Well now it looks like you are the first to awaken from the nightmarish dreams congrats now let me offer you something,something you can't refuse!" a booming voice said, the booming voice seemed to come from all directions as Locus looked around frantically for the owner of the booming voice but only sees the purple hazy glow in front of him.
Felix
Felix looked around the large white room and saw purple banners with the Phantom symbol on them. He looked across the room where a door was being opened, he readied himself, preparing for a fight. His friends walked through the door, they looked afraid. Felix couldn't do anything but turn around to see what they were looking at, for it wasn't him and saw himself sitting on a throne. "Finally, they've found you" the fake Felix said, standing up and walking towards them. Felix turned back to his friends, noticing for the first time that they were chained up, and wearing clothes from the prison on floor 50. "Felix, you don't have to do this!" Locus yelled, the fake Felix laughed "that's where you're wrong, I do have to do this" he replied, Felix realized now, that they were on floor 50, which means it's likely that none of them have powers. But shortly after he thought this, he saw his friends slowly suffocating, as the air around them was removed. Felix was finally free to move and he dropped to his knees, tears streaming down his face he slowly stood and walked to the corpses. He noticed something a very small mistakes in the way Kal looked, Felix always made sure to remember one of his friends wrong, but with a very small mistake, like a crooked nose or a larger ear just in case he was caught in an illusion or a nightmare. He looked at Kal's left ear and saw that it was smaller than his right. As soon he realized what it was, he woke up on the next floor.
Locus
Locus stood there watching as each of his friends disappeared one by one intel it was Felix who was the last one left then suddenly he disappeared with everyone else "Well now that you watched all your friends pass the test same as you i must finalize my offer, there is going to be a person waiting for you and your friends and he will be to powerful for any of your friends to defeat including you so here is my offer" The booming voice paused before continuing "My offer to you is to stay here and let me train you, i can teach you something new and also enhance your current powers, so what do you say? Will you take my offer?" The booming voice asked before finally materializing before Locus as a mix of a humanoid figure and the purple hazy cloud "I-I i will take your offer so please make me stronger!" Locus said with confidence he was making the right decision "Good then follow me i shall train you but only in my own personal training hall away from this god forsaken power hungry 'tower' you people seem so keen on conquering and please call me Poseidon it may seem kinda familiar but you will find out about that later on" Poseidon said as a portal opened up from below Locus and right as it opened up Poseidon jumps in motioned to Locus to jump in as well.
Felix
Felix looked around "Where's Locus?" he asked, when nobody answered he sighed "let's wait a little longer, he might show up a little late" he said, so they waited, some of them sat and some of them, like Felix and Grace, trained. An hour passed, then two, by the time third hour they were tired of waiting. Luna walked up to Felix "he's not coming" she said, Felix looked at her and blocked an attack from Lex "I know" he muttered "we should move on, we need to reach the top" the others nodded. "Alright from now on we travel all together, we've made an enemy of Phantom, and if we cause too much trouble the floor guardians may come after us, they get stronger the higher we go" Felix explained "our goal is to reach heights very few people have reached, we need to get to the top." he finished. Kal looked at him "What's your obsession with reaching the top?" he asked, Felix shrugged "I don't really know, I just know it's important" he said "now let's get going" Felix began walling but an unfamiliar voice stopped him cold in his tracks "Not so fast, you have some people that belong to me" the voice was female and in front of them, it belonged to a girl who was just taller than Felix, she was wearing black clothes and a red scarf half of her face was covered by a free flowing black mask "Hello there you four, I've missed you" she grinned and Grace walked forward "Hello sister" she sighed out reluctantly. Felix looked over at her surprised "Sister?" he asked
Locus
Locus jumped into the portal and was instantly teleported to an unknown land which seemed to be nothing but an ocean with a purple mist everywhere but he could tell he wasn't in the tower anymore because he felt more powerful here as if the restrictions of the tower that were placed on everyone was gone, "Where are we?" Locus asked as he looked around confused "Well we are in my personal domain away from the tower and everything else, welcome to my home" Poseidon said with a slight grin on his face "Now for some info, what do you know about the tower?" He asked with obvious distane for the subject "Honestly nothing other then it's mostly a test to see what peoples skill levels and powers are" Locus said somewhat confused by the question "Ok well i guess it's time someone explained to you what it is, how it came to be and how extensive it is, so where do you want me to start off?" Poseidon asked as he looked off into the distance "Umm well i'm more interested what it is and how it came to be" Locus said with clear interest in the subject "well i guess i should start off with what it is" Poseidon continued "So the tower isn't an actual tower as you probably had guessed, the tower you saw when you first entered was a tower but it wasn't THE tower, it was more like a testing chamber to see if you were worthy to enter the real tower which White might have explained to you, the tower that you are currently trying to get to the top of is actually nothing like a tower other then each 'floor' is like a leveling system, depending how far someone gets determines their 'level' as to say but each floor is actually a world on its own it's just that you only experience certain parts of the world that we want you to, you can go back and explore any world you want once you have either reached your limit or completed the 'tower' and the 'gateways' you guys keep going into for the next floors are actually just teleporters taking you to the next world so to make it a little easier to understand let's say you have five worlds in a solar system each floor is one of those worlds and the gateways is the transporter for you get to each floor, you understand what i'm saying" Poseidon asked as he looked over at Locus hoping he kept up "Yes i surprisingly do understand it but now what i want to know is, how did the 'tower' get made, who was it made by and how is it possible for each floor to be a world on its own" Locus asked getting more and more curious about the subject at hand as he looked over to get his first good look at Poseidon, he notes his abnormally large size, Poseidon look to be around 7'3" with long greenish blue hair with green eyes, a well defined muscular body with a dangerous yet calm aura about him.
Felix
Grace nodded "this is the family leader, Faith" Faith extended a hand and Felix shook it "Felix" he stated "a pleasure, now then I must take my family home" Faith replied. Felix released her hand and put his hands behind his back, despite the rogue ish clothing he wore, he looked elegant "I'm afraid I can't let you do that, I'm currently being trained by your sisters and your brothers" Felix paused, what was he supposed say? He didn't know why the brothers were brought along. "They were brought along for reasons only known by my friends" Faith looked very disappointed in them "so then, we both want my family, should we do this in the normal way" she asked, Felix nodded "there's a field not too far away from here, we'll meet there in an hour" Felix stated and walked away, the group following him quickly. After an hour had passed Faith walked up to the group "Are you prepared?" she asked, Felix looked confident, holding a blade in his right hand and a dagger in his left. "I'm always prepared" he replied.
Locus
"Well that's a wonderful question and i will reluctantly answer it. The 'tower' was made by others like me, we called ourselves the Ancient Ones due to the fact that we seemed to never age, we are the oldest living things that exist but we can still die so we are not immortal but it's kinda like immortality, well anyways my kind made the tower using our immense power and your never ending knowledge of the universe, the tower is intended to find the find the most powerful beings in the universe from any and all species and to challenge and test their strengths but also to find there weaknesses, now for how you are able to go from one habitable world to the next or as you see it going from one floor to another is a form of instant teleportation i'm not really sure how it works since i didn't make it so that's all i know..." Poseidon said as he started to stare off into the distance "Well i think i have given you enough enough for now, but i'm going to give you the same gift i gave both your sister and your brother" Poseidon said as he ran his hand through Locus' hair causing it to turn from a dark brownish black to solid white "This will do the same thing it has done for your family for generations, it will give you more control over your powers and it slightly intensifies them making them slightly more powerful, meaning you can teleport farther and have more understanding and control over your powers overall, i always liked your family more than others" Poseidon finished as he looked back at Locus with a smile and waved his hand then suddenly Locus disappeared.
Locus was now on floor 49, which puts him one floor ahead of his friends, Locus just now coming to the realization that his hair was turned from brownish black to solid white just like his sister and brother's hair "Well i wasn't expecting him to change my hair color of all things but then again i kinda did" Locus said with a slight sigh as he walked to the gate the was the entrance to floor 49 "might as well wait here for them here i guess" he said as he began to realize that he actually performed his hair being white, it made Locus feel closer to his family, because for as long as he could remember he was the only family member to have hair that wasn't white and it always bothered him intel now.
Felix
Felix stood across from Faith, he held his sword loosely, show false overconfidence to trick his opponent. Faith held a sword made of the same free flowing material as her mask she looked confident and ready. She moved forward to strike low, Felix quickly sidestepped but Faith moved her blade as if she had been expecting it and cut Felix's wrist. Felix stumbled backwards looking at the cut and growled, he solidified and sharpened the air around Faith and sliced at her arms, she couldn't dodge a single one. Felix dashed forward and Faith jumped to the side, striking downwards as she did, another cut on Felix's arm was opened. Felix stopped himself and cut her arm on the air again. Faith stumbled back and lost control of her power. Felix dashed forward about to strike her down. "Halt" a voice boomed and Felix froze "oh no" he muttered to himself and turned around to face the voice, the man he saw was around 6 feet tall and very thin, the look in his eyes were cold and emotionless. "You are fighting near a gate, that is a crime" the guardian spoke "Prepare to die" Felix looked up at that last phrase, straight to the point he thought to himself as he looked over at his friends "Run, find Locus if you can and tell him what's going on, I might not be able to meet up with you for a while, good luck now run!" Felix ordered all but Luna obeyed and ran. Luna ran up to Felix "Stay safe" she whispered before running off to join the rest. "Sending your friends away so you can die without them knowing? How lonely and idiotic" The guardian said, Felix smiled "it's not a crime to spare them the sadness, now hurry up and let's fight" Felix said with extreme excitement building up inside him.
