Katalond, the previous prince of hell and now the king, after the fall of the kingdom he left to unite the kingdoms and stop any war, big or small, alone he left, no guards, no companions, no friends.
Misu who escaped the fall of Hell miraculously has continued traveling and visited the era facility.
Misu was heading to the Abyss Mountain and Katalond was heading to Mohayora.
The two met, coincidence? Doesn't feel like it, it's like one of them knew exactly where to head at the moment, for a reason or two.
The two recognized each other right away, it's hard to forget the look of an electric master, but Misu was surprised Katalond could remember her.
"Long time no see" said Katalond with a smile, "it has been like six months since we've seen each other, how are you?", Misu said, Katalond answered her question with a smile while looking up at the sky "everything is good actually, ever since the fall of the kingdom, we have been re-building the kingdom to make it bigger and stronger…" Katalond stopped talking for a second, Misu felt that he was going to say something big, something that needs a lot of time to answer, she got emotionally ready and waited.
"Join me to unite the electric masters" Katalond said determined, Misu was astonished, she didn't expect that "I thought he was gonna ask me to travel with him, visit the kingdoms with him, find the source of the war or something, but unite the electric masters?!" Thought Misu.
She stood there for a while not knowing what to say.
The electric Masters didn't unite since the fall of Arceus, a forbidden history that shouldn't be told, ever.
"Why me?" That's all she could say, she didn't fight when Hell got attacked, she didn't show any bravery, any strength, any sign of will power, so why her?
"Three years ago a green haired fairy and a weird creature were found inside the great abounded library of Cyrus, a library that said to have all knowledge inside it, and a forbidden one for what has happened with that great knowledge" said Katalond.
"So you believe that I know a lot to help you unite the electric masters?" asked Misu.
"Knowledge is power they say, but what I really care about is your knowledge about the ancient creatures, I know that you know that the creatures who attacked Hell six months ago were ancient creatures, which makes that flying creature, the electric master of the ancients, am I correct?" Katalond responded.
"You are…" answered Misu "for long I believed that the ancient creatures were extinct by the hands of the greatest evil as the books tell, but after I saw the electric master of the ancients I spent the past six months searching for any sign of them being here with us…there's a weird ancient creature who haunts my dreams, it told me about a place where I could find the answers for my questions, the Abyss Mountain".
"You can't" said Katalond, Misu nodded sadly knowing that the Abyss Mountain is sealed by the darkness and light.
"Join me, Misu, let us unite the electric masters and kill the greatest evil to stop the war" Katalond said offering his right hand.
Misu sighed and shook his hand.
"So where are you heading?" asked Misu for Katalond to answer right away "Mohayora".
"Didn't you want to unite the electric masters?" Misu asked confused by Katalond's answer, "why would he want to go to the ninja village? The electric master of humans lives in Aquarius that's a common knowledge" she wondered, "a friend of mine is there, a very strong one, we don't only need the electric masters, we also need a strong army" Katalond answered.
"Because the greatest evil is building an army, and they might be an army of ancients creatures" Misu responded silently "you're right, we need an army, but how are we going to build that army? And we're not even talking about a normal army, we're talking about an army that can defeat ancient creatures…the Hell Kingdom was destroyed by only two ancenint creatures, TWO!".
Katalond didn't respond, he remained silent for a while and then started walking heading to Mohayora "are you coming or not?" said Katalond, Misu didn't argue, she walked behind him hoping that he actually have a plan to defeat an army of ancient creatures.
Back to Sora…
Sora used an advanced telephone device to call Ashley, unfortunately she didn't pick up.
"That's not a great time to ignore a call Ashley" said Sora frustrated "I can't enter, it feels so dangerous, I need to get myself ready without Eric noticing".
Sora got on his robot once again and went flying away back to the Epistemology Radioactive Atmosphere Facility, he went straight to his lab in underfloor 2.
On any direction you look at you'll find a piece of a robot, head, arm, even a torso, a messy lab is all you can say about Sora's lab.
When Sora entered he was greeted by a young woman, Emma, Sora's lab assistant, she was about 163 cm long , thin and had small amount of freckles, wears glasses, long ginger hair and a gummy smile, her voice was high pitched and she was a fast talker.
"Glad you're back Dr.Sora, I can't wait to tell you what I discovered in Rebecca, she was malfunctioning yesterday right? Well guess what was the reason? No need to answer, you won't believe it, I borrowed one of Dr.Eric's test subject and discovered that Rebecca hardware reacts negatively to it, so when Rebecca is near the test subject she malfunction and shut down, but after some work here and there I build and installed an immunity system in Rebecca to reduce the negative reaction, and for my surprise, Rebecca wasn't the one getting a negative reaction anymore, but the test subject-", "where is it?!" Sora asked interrupting Emma, "I know how excited you're Dr.Sora but no need to yell, it's there" Emma said and pointed at a big metallic box used for storing dead pieces that need repair.
Sora started moving towards the storage box, "hold on Dr.Sora" said Emma "I don't recommend opening the storage, not now, we need to get Rebecca a little farther, the negative reaction is stronger than you'd expect, look up".
Sora looked up to be shocked by what he saw, a huge hole on the roof reaching all the floors above them, you can clearly see the sky.
"We lost about 113 scientist but Dr.Eric said that it was fine, he told me to come to him later to run some tests with him" Emma said, "what kinda of negative reaction does the test subject have?" asked Sora confused by everything happening, the forest, the test subjects, Rebecca, the lost of 113 scientist, all in one day.
"Well-" when Emma was about to answer Sora's question, she received a call from Eric "hold on I should answer", "Dr.Emma" said Eric and Emma responded "Hello Dr.Eric, is there something you want from me?", "yes Dr.Emma, I told you that we were gonna run tests on Rebecca next week, but due to the busy schedule of the facility we will need to do the tests today", "but Dr.Eric, I was scheduled to run tests on robot 3-029", "It will be rescheduled, remember we focus-", "on what's important, you're right, I will get my things ready and move to underfloor 5 right away", "good, I will send you the authorization code now, don't forget to show it to the guards in order to enter underfloor 5", "got it, thank you Dr.Eric".
The call ended, Emma sighed and looked at Sora with a sorrow look on her face, "why are you sad ?" asked Sora "moving to work with Dr.Eric himself is the best thing to ever happen to any scientist, you're getting the best promotion, you should be happy", "I know" said Emma "but I enjoyed working with you-", "it's better for you to work with Dr.Eric, better job position, better payment, and you'd have access to many things in the facility".
"I'd be leaving now, some workers will come get Rebecca and the test subject later" said Emma "it was good working with you Dr.Sora, I really enjoyed all those years of creating and testing, I loved every robot we made together", "you know that you can visit anytime right?" asked Sora "yeah I know" Emma responded "but it feels like I'm gonna be locked forever in underfloor 5 and be forced to run tests on the subject for the rest of my career".
Emma left and Sora felt sorrow but didn't want to show it to Emma.
"Alone again" said Sora to himself…
After walking for quite a long time from the Abyss Mountain the two finally reached Mohayora, the great and last standing village of Ninjas.
"Ninjas are the last people that can use four elements" said Misu, Katalond nodded.
"It's sad how small this village is" said Misu, "history can be both sad and interesting at the same time" Katalond responded "but let's focus on the present, the Ninjas aren't as strong as they were many decades ago, but they're still consider strong which explains why Mohayora is still standing".
The moved forward, facing the beautiful well-crafted wooden gate of Mohayora, the guard stopped them and asked gently "need a tour around?", "tour? Aren't you going to check if we were from the greatest evil army or not?" asked Misu Confused by what the guard said, "the kingdoms are in danger, the strongest kingdom has fallen, so why is he asking such question like nothing is happening" Misu wondered.
"Relax lady" said the guard with a smile "not even the so called greatest evil will dare fight the son of the Titans", "son of the Titans?" Misu said to herself wondering who this mighty guy might be, "I could take him with one hand" said Katalond, the three remained silent until both Katalond and the guard bust out laughing.
"Oh I didn't see you in a long time man I missed you" said the guard, "me too man, glad to see you alright" Katalond responded.
"Of course they know each other, everybody knows each other while I just read about people, and no way I will come to this village alone after reading about how they treat women" Misu said to herself waiting for the two to finish talking so they can enter the village get Katalond's friend and leave.
The guard finally opened the gate, Misu wasn't impressed, she already hate the village and for her surprise the first thing she saw was a grown man rapping a teenage girl.
She got furious and started yelling "WHY ARE YOU ALL JUST STANDING THERE?! STOP HIM!!!".
Everyone stared at her for a second and then started laughing, before she continued yelling Katalond put his hand gently on her shoulder, without any word, Misu knew what Katalond wanted so she stopped.
More reasons to hate the Ninjas, she knows why are they doing this, why they have multiple wives, why they marry underage girls, it's all because of the population census.
Approximately there's 218 living Ninjas, 37 of them are very old, 163 are underage, and the rest are adults.
"I must stay focused" said Misu to herself.
