Tempest falls exhausted.
Helia catches him and puts him down.
The farm guard dogs howl.
Tempest smiles, "Thank you for your appreciation friends." He breathes heavily tired.
"That was incredible, only a small piece of the ..." Solaris stops talking realising that was just the first level of the country.
"I've got this." Muse attacks chipping away at the next one all by herself.
Scorpio at the very top of the 7 levels country rolls his eyes at everyone's uneducated approach. He draws the eclipse symbol and the entire country splits into half.
He gets Numa out of the way.
~~~
"Look! The eclipse is getting bigger and moving further away."
"In coming!"
Toya tries to stand up but he can't. He looks up feeling himself wrapped in something. A black mist shield is protecting them.
A man walks towards them in chains on his hands and feet, "I have waited for the eclipse for so long." He breaks out of the chains.
Toya breathes easier when the annoying overwhelming emotions that were not his own stop.
"I am Stark, this is my country. I cannot stay with you here, but I will never let something like this happen again." He says to everyone telepathically at once.
He looks at Lycan and laughs, "You remind me so much of my wife. You have my temper though." He laughs.
Colin throws up, "Fuck!"
"You have made me more proud than any Alpha has in the past generations. They had all the knowledge yet were unwise. You, shooting in the dark have trusted my guardians and for that I am grateful. I will extend your life span, for you to enjoy the fruits of your labour. It will not end here, but my seal of protection is upon you. No weapon formed against you shall prosper." Stark vanishes.
Rex wakes up feeling a bite on his neck. He notices the black mist shield and the endless rain of elements.
"She's awake. You've been unconscious for a while now." Leo says.
"Thanks. How long has it been?"
"Real time for us. Stark reversed the time vault. We're here seeing the fall of the sky country, Everyone else is frozen in time. Except for Chronos and Luna's group in there, for everyone else this will be over in a flash." Leo says.
"How's Sarah awake?"
"Scorpio." Leo replies.
"Oh, wake me up when it's over."
"I will."

Stark arrives in the under water cities and smiles, "Aqua?"
Aquarius smirks, "Friend, I have missed you."
"Yes, I missed you too. This is amazing. I came to see you again."
"You're always welcome here. Come on in." Aquarius shows him around.
Stark smiles with the eclipse the islands golden fruit are evolving into Stark fruit, "Aww, you know. This is still my favourite fruit." He says.
"They rewound time to the year Stark fruit were planted here. We're so lucky." Aquarius says.
"Yes we are, who are these?" Stark asks about the golden castle beneath the city.
"Golden guardians. We had too many fruit to pick, so they were given permission to stay here and take as long as they do not stop us from picking a fruit. It was the best strategy to avoid war and gain ally's when Clover was here with a fleet." Aquarius tells him.
Stark nods, "I was not aware of that, but I am here and my word still stands. They have no place here anymore. I can't risk it, not with such a rare group. I have to choose Stark over them." He claps his hands and Stark is 100% afloat and the golden guardians castle is gone.
He sees the other cities and smiles, "Too many guardians won't ever wake up, but moving forward will be easy. Why do you look like an elderly woman child?" He asks confused.
Aquarius smiles, "It's more comfortable. We have more now, come." She takes him to Leviathan and smiles.
"Wow, that is incredible. It's so spacious. You better not rush to fill it with eggs." Stark says.
"I will not. There's more." Aquarius races him to Lycan but Stark has already gone in and out twice.
"Ohhh, I like his guardians. Very strong and fast. They hit me in the face." He sniffles.
Aquarius gives him a hug, "There there, they're just doing their job."
"It still hurts."
"I know. There's still more." She says taking him to the other places.

The stones stop falling and people are frozen out of time.
Everyone runs outside picking Black marbles. The other stones were absorbed into the earth.
Luna yawns after the best sleep in weeks without steam or anything like that. People flood the store and she smiles excited.
Colin and his friends fight over who threw stones at who.
Lana carries her stones in a big bag checking the time and it's still morning. They have an entire day to play games.
She leaves her stones at Missy's and picks more stones buying from Luna's shop.
Faux smiles seeing more customers. This business is more fun when people actually walk in and buy.
Aya smiles at Lycan passing by to check on her.
"How are things going?" He asks feeling dizzy because of the eclipse.
"Well, I started feeling woozy when you walked in. Shop is great." She sits down to catch her breath.
Lycan nods kissing her forehead before leaving. He walks around in pain and collapses. Black mist leaves his body.
Wish, Julia, and a few others too.
The twins stay close to their mother the rest of the event.
Talia smiles buying a shield and taking enough supplies to move to her own camp.
Natalia laughs, "You better pick a place soon. Others got the same idea. Camps are going to double in number now."
"Good, I want my own place too." Talia says.
Royal walks past Natalia with his daughter. He insists on holding her every time everywhere.
~~~
Susan smiles at a man talking to her.
"Your colourful hair looks really cool." He says.
"Thanks. Would you like something. We do make men's clothing." Susan asks she's not interested in him.
Missy and her new boyfriend are laughing selling shoes.
Maria is laughing at Sofia being called muscle grand Ma by all the kids, "I told her she over did it." She says.
~~~
Tina smiles and her jaw drops seeing Emily pregnant when she walks into the shop. Next to her is a really handsome guy who was not at the old moon camp for sure.
Emily looks Tina up and down squinting her eyes.
"Emily?" Rin looks at her and is confused, "Congratulations bruh!!!! Tina, did you know?" She asks Tina.
"Tina? What are you doing at Murasaki?" Emily asks.
"I moved here, Kyle doesn't have many members my age group so he thought it would be easier if I came to Murasaki where they have plenty." Tina responds and introduces herself to Emily's boyfriend.
"I'm Rio, it's nice to meet you." The male shakes Tina's hand and buys Emily everything she wants in bulk. He wants to have enough until next year if possible.
He picks up more marbles buying Technology to keep Emily safe. He's interested in more tents. He buys those. A warp of water disks, and anything that looks good.
Tina's jaw drops still surprised that Emily is pregnant.
~~~
Himawari enters the shop with Khole holding her hand, "Hey, can we have pregnancy care items." She asks excited about the news she received today.
Tina nods, "Pregnancy care involves doing this through out the pregnancy. Sticks every night are compulsory. Daily this 12 step shower or bath routine. Recommended to not take a bath after. Exercise in the room with a white fruit steam you will sweat heavily but it's healthy for your skin and baby. We recommend these pills daily. Shave off your head and regrow your hair using this mask. Once a week to get good sleep take a golden steam session. For future daddy if he's looking to have more kids after this we recommend this men's pack. Private area care, shaving cream with wipes, balls lotion, oil, and perfume with 6 full body lotions, literally apply full body, including the penis, join wifey during exercise days and occasionally steam with her as well. Your package comes with pills, take one a day." She explains and gives it to them for free since they are Murasaki residents.
"Does that apply for someone like me too?" Emily asks after overhearing the conversation.
"Yes." Tina sells her the products.
"You look really good, this place has like, transformed you, is your butt even real?" Emily asks.
Tina nods, "Yeah, your man's pretty hot. How old is he?"
"25. He's actually in Charge of Moon now. Benjamin just wasn't putting food on the table anymore. He took over the old Murasaki territory. Black Territory and our house is really comfortable." Emily brags.
"That's really nice for you. I'm glad you're happy, you look well taken care of." Tina says.
"I am, I should go. I have more to see around here." Emily leaves going to Susan's shop and buying clothes before leaving.
Susan scowls jealous of Missy and her new boyfriend Aaron, he's one of the 20 that escaped as Infected prisoners.
"So, they purposely captured people to turn them into Infected? I'm so glad you're safe Aaron." Missy gives him a hug.
Aaron smiles, "I should go, customers are flooding in. Later." He kisses her cheek leaving.
Amelia and Babosa arrive at the shop with their two sons Killuhua and Silver. They were part of the group of 12 that arrived during the first mission to expand territory.
"Ohh, your boys are all grown up now. 10 years old right? They might start working with Aira." Maria says to the couple.
Amelia smiles, "That would be nice, I heard The Ginger's and the Giant's are being bumped up to Orange bands because their kids help out." She says.
The twins smile.
Colin walking past the boys looks them up and down, they are tall for 10 years old, Aira is going to throw a fit, "They are perfect. I hate it when Thomas insists I move Medallion and Staria permanently to the farms. They can take their place at Toya's place. Perfect." He walks away happy to go deliver the good news.
Amelia smiles, "Thanks Maria. We should get going, boys just really wanted those shoes." She points at them.
Missy gives her the shoes smiling.
Evanah walks in front of the shop holding hands with Happy.
"He's like literally twice her age, what do her parents say about that?" Susan says with her arms crossed.
"Nothing, they recently moved in together in the Yellow neighborhood. Good on him he looks half his age. Don't be so jealous you're too old for a man Susan, you can have Pete." Missy says.
Susan scowls, "I'm not jealous." She comments.
"Couldn't she pick a guy her own age?" Rebecca asks jealous too.
Happy turns around glaring at the women, his power is super hearing, "Why would I be interested in insecure baggage? Go find other men, clearly I'm not interested." He holds Evanah closer walking to watch another event.

Lana sees Talia with Ben and frowns. The other girls from Lana have an invader on their arm and wrapped around their shoulder.
"Dad! Can you believe how Mia has been avoiding me? Every time she sees Split she starts acting crazy and runs off behind him, why does she do that?" Faux asks upset.
Lana walks towards her daughter, "She's probably jealous, or is trying to get chosen to move to Murasaki. Split looks like an easy target."
"Seriously? So I left my damn job so she can use me to talk to Murasaki boys? That is just annoying." Faux stomps off to work and finds Sarah back at the shop.
"Hey you, I was worried my coming back chased you away. It's time for lunch. We should close up." She says looking a little under the weather.
Rex arrives when it's closing time and apologises, "I'll eat and sleep in a steam session. I'm sorry." He kisses the top of her head.
Sarah looks at her plate not even hungry.
Rex takes her with.
Sarah takes care of him and they sleep in the time vault.
Rex wakes up feeling better and Sarah is better too. They sit down and eat starving.
"Where did you two disappear off too?" Mira asks wiggling her brows.
"He was trying to work as a guard but he could barely function. I had to test out my new product on him and he slept like a baby, he's good to go now." Sarah says smiling her cheeks full of red.
"What is it?" Mira asks.
"Energy drink. Before I forget. I made these for you guys." Sarah says giving all her friends the necklaces she made.
Lupin and his friends smile getting necklaces.
Faux smiles happy about her farewell gift, "Thank you," she opens it and her heart melts. She holds up the stone with the eclipse symbol towards the eclipse still in the air, "It's amazing. Thank you." She gives Sarah a hug.
Susan is annoyed seeing Sarah with her normal hair colour not the colourful dye she had on.
Cinna looks at his brother with Avery and at Sarah with Rex, "Are, you two together?" He asks Rex.
"No, why? Am I in your way?" Rex asks.
Cinna laughs being put on the spot.
Sarah look at Rex shaking her head.
"Sorry Sarah." He eats his meal talking to Dodge nonstop.
Sarah smiles at her grandmother.
"Can we talk in private?" Mia asks Sarah.
Sarah nods talking behind a tree.
"So like, what did you do to look like this? What do you use?" Mia asks checking if anyone heard that.
Rex heard it and he's not sure if he should be pissed or offended right now.
Sarah laughs it off as a joke, "No, seriously what is it?"
Mia bites her lip, "Okay, fine. Since you and Rex are not an item, can I sit next to him?"
