Quote: [9/12] Early Morning -> [9/12] Morning/Lunch
The day passes, and the people of Inaba go on with their rather eccentric life style.
As the morning mist burns away, the day reveals it's secrets to the people of the sleepy town, but perhaps not all is as it seems. Of course, with Shadows, Kuzunoha, and powerful Demons all packed in one place, how could it be?
Will this town's fate prove good or ill? Will it's heroes show they have the will, or nil? Who knows.
...And time moves forward...
...
The young girl, Seneca Daidouji, remains Inaba General Hospital. She may receive visitors, but is currently non-responsive...
....
(Time marches onward!)
It is now Lunch Time!

Quote: [9/12] After School - > [9/12] Late Night
Quote: ::Inaba Nightly News::The newscaster on the television is wrapping up the nightly broadcast. Turning to the camera as the credits roll, he prepares to deliver his parting shot."And that's the news for tonight. Stay tuned for 'Who's Who' with Trish coming up right after this! Tonight, Trish speaks with the captain of Tokyo's most powerful High School basketball team! A handsome young man with fiery hair and the Emperor's Eye, he has yet to taste defeat on the basketball court on any level of competition to date! Hear him speak about his secrets, his techniques, and how he believes he is 'destined' to rule over the country as the captain of the greatest basketball team Japan has ever seen! He'll dish on Rakuzan High School's chances in this year's National Championship, his personal life...and much, much more. All of that coming up right after this...
...At the sound of the tone, the time will be 12 A.M., Midnight. Good night everybody!"11:59:57...11:59:58...11:59:59...
The clock strikes Midnight and the television shuts off abruptly...and then, to the surprise of all who are watching, so do the lights...their cars...every electrical device in their possession.
...One look to the sky reveals a green, sickly-looking sky and a golden moon so bright and ominous it could send a chill down your spine. And lining the streets, just inside open windows, and speckled across town are coffins, stark and red, everywhere you look.
...Once again, Inaba has entered the Dark Hour [9/13]...
The Dark Hour.
 
Quote: The Dark Hour has begun!
[There is something on the television! The image is unclear at first...but begins to grow clearer, eyes of piercing red looking through the screen...bloodstains on pale cheeks, upon pale lips. A man with dark hair and piercing red eyes stares through the television as if peering into your soul!
He licks the blood from his lips...and the camera pans to reveal another figure, silver hair...golden eyes! They stand opposite one another...enemies, not allies...one is familiar, the other is not...
...And in an instant, the image is gone!] |

[Dark Hour]
Quote: ::Tanaka's Screwy Commodities!:: Suddenly a new image takes it's place. At first, the switch-a-roo is jarring, but after a few seconds a familiar and catchy tune begins playing. The camera slowly pans around a man standing in a gray business suit, grinning at the camera with a smooth and measured smile and new golden contacts that just scream suave! It's Tanaka, the famous businessman and the star of the famous commodities show where people are able to purchase valuable odds and ends.
"Goooooood evening everyone, I'm your host-" The audio suddenly cuts out for a second, perhaps a glitch in the TV? "-and this is Tanaka's Screwy Commodities! Our prices are demonic! You'll find it's a bargain beyond a Shadow of a doubt!" The theme song plays again as the camera focuses in on the debonair businessman's face, and he points at the camera knowingly, giving another wink to the crowd. "Lets bring out our first item of the day! Iiiiiit's Persona Blocker (x1)! Guaranteed to stop that pesky enemy from summoning his Other Self for 1 battle! Oh my goodness, I can't believe it's wonderfulneeeeess! But wait, there's more. Call now, and we'll throw in Royal Jelly (x5)! All this for 200,000g!" The camera panned over the table nearby, showing off the odd spray can; it looked similar to a bug repellant, but the text on the side and the flashy 'Persona-B-Gone' logo made perfectly clear what it was intended for. A skippy, upbeat tune played as the name flashed over the television in wide, colorful letters, emphasizing the item once again.
"Or, you could select our other, limited quantity, special item! Iiiiit's Shad-a-way! Feeling the darkness? Don't bury it deep down, let it out with just one drop of Shad-a-way! Oh baby, don't hurt me, don't hurt me, no more!" The camera energetically flew by Tanaka as he did a small step to the side and jig as he swung his fingers back and forth, getting in to the program. "Oh my goodness, I can't believe it's wonderfulneeeess! But wait, there's more! Buy now and you can get Sapphire (x1)! And all this for the loooow price of 350,000gs! Call now, because supplies are limited."
The camera shot in multiple times disorientingly, finally blaring one last sound of techno-surprise music as Tanaka thrust a finger at the camera. "And for one night only, leeeeets bring out our third and final item of the day! Iiiiiit's Strega Evoker (x1)! Oh my goodness, I can't believe it's wonderfulness! But wait, there's more. Call now and we'll throw in Strega Supplements! Guaranteed to pump up that Other Side that might come knockin', and keep him from tearing your head off, too! This one gets our special rate of 275,000g! Call in, and be rewaaarded!" The program music aired again as room opened up for callers, and the camera made sure to get the broadcaster's good side as he awaited the incoming calls at 1-555-(9193).
A few moments later a loud jingle rang through the studio, and Tanaka let out a small chuckle, turning to the camera. "That's it folks, we're aaaaall sold out! Tune in tomorrow night for more Screwy Commodities! Same time, same Midnight Channel!" The theme began to play again as the camera faded out, and the lyrics hollowly rang out. 'Granter of your inner desiiiires! It's scccrreeewy, on Tanaka's Commodities! It's a wonderful shooop, all full of greaaat deals~!''
And just like that, the television clicked off again, as the Midnight Channel's programming ended...though what this new bargain show portended too, each viewer could only guess. Except unbeatable prices and out-of-this-world deals, of course! Those were a guarantee.
Quote: Tanaka's Screwy Commodities Each night at Midnight, Tanaka is willing to part with two rare rare items from his mysterious coffers! Only one of each item is available unless otherwise stated, and they're sure to be potent, so make sure to buy quickly! In order to purchase an item, send a PM with the preferred item to Arena_Emperor and a bid above the listed price, and the winner will be notified in course. The highest bid on each item will obtain the item. Tonight's Deal:
Persona Blocker (x1): Casts Mute, rendering one enemy Persona User's Persona useless for one battle. Item is expendable.
Winner: (Yokoalchemist - 3 Mil!)
Shad-a-way (x1): A small candy, which when consumed forces one's Shadow to emerge and go berserk. This renders the user extremely weak, physically and mentally, from the exertion. Results may vary.
Winner: (Yokoalchemist - 4 Mil!)
Strega Evoker (x1): Summon Persona on an otherwise unawakened individual! Side effects may occur...
Winner: (Yoko Alchemist - 12 Mil!) |

[Daily Progression]
[9/12] Late Night -> [9/13] Early Morning
A day of immense trials and tribulations comes to an end, with members of no less than three major groups defending the Supernatural Hotbed of Inaba from threats to the safety of every man and child living within. Besieged on every front by the forces of devils and shadows and darkness of various sorts, the Investigation Team, SEES-2, and the Yatagarasu continue to adapt and grow in order to defend the people of the cities that they love...but even in victory, the price remains high and the margin of error remains as sharp as the edge of the knife...
...
The Investigation Team has faced the darkest parts of themselves again...Zeo Kirijo and Faustus Necromonium overcame their Shade selves with the aid of their teammates, but not without significant suffering and a twisted memory that would stick with them for the rest of their lives. To see oneself in a way that you cannot accept is harsh and cruel...but every person has that which they do not wish to see and that which they simply can't. To overcome that perception and be who you want to be...to stand for what you wish to stand for...that is what it means to live on, to be strong...but the visions after the fight remain a mystery. Why are they seeing them? What power grants them sight into the memories of their leader? What greater meaning could their be...?
...
The SEES-2 Team faces a fearful and uncertain dawn as well; Rirouku remains unconscious in the hospital and Sylphie struggles to recover her full strength. The Team, victorious in their battle by the skin of their teeth, and yet humbled by the full might of Akashi Seijuurou and his Generation of Miracles, must search for a new path to power...a new growth and inner strength...if they wish to overcome their despair and rise to the challenge that awaits them. A promise to return has been issued by their enemies, and the next time it happens, they might not escape with only one of them incapacitated. The time to become stronger is now...but will their hearts recover quickly enough with a friend's life hanging in the balance?
...
Upheaval amidst the Yatagarasu brings an uncertain future for the traditional protectors of the country. Turnover at the top of their summoning ranks...the call to the heads of their various families protecting Japanese interests around the country to the Supernatural Hotbed...it feels as though they are preparing for a great fight...be it against some great darkness or something else entirely. However, the awakening of Riphal Edea spells a terrible threat to whomever their blades may turn upon...as does the rise of a new Kuzunoha, Ciela I...keeper of the new records of the Fourth Name (as the old ones were and remain stolen)...and of course, the birth of a brand new Raidou Kuzunoha...
Trainees grow stronger, and Kyouji does all she can to prepare them. But even her time may grow short...what dangers loom? And in the end, will the people of Inaba be grateful for the continuing aid of the Crows...or will they lament?
...
A new approaches...with new challenges, new threats, and new opportunities for growth upon the horizon...
...
...You are tired. You decide to go to bed...
(Time marches onward!)
Thursday Morning... September 13th, 2012. It is a rainy Thursday, though the rain may clear up by the time school closes, and students continue to go about their daily lives with little suspicion that the world around them is changing very rapidly. Threads that had been left unsolved begin to come together, and threats that linger on the peripherals of their own begin to reveal themselves more and more. But the day progresses, and those who can continue to live their normal lives as best they can...
Morning classes will soon begin. Students hurry to their classrooms, unaware of the danger in the shadows...
It is now, Early Morning...

[9/13] Early Morning -> [9/13] Lunchtime
Another day continues with the Yatagarasu making the biggest waves in the world of the supernatural by far; the announcement of a change in the ranks of the Great Summoners sets many of their own and their allies on edge. Are the actions a move to solidify their position as they say, or is it a prelude to war? With members of the heads of the Clans from all over the globe assembling outside of Okina, though few are aware of the gathering, it seems as though war may well be on the way...
...
But even as darkness begins to descend upon the Supernatural Hotbed once more, the light of the future shines dim...hope springs eternal, even in the darkest of times.
...
Over the town of Inaba, a darkness begins to take form...a cloud to the common eye, at first...but as it darkens, those with the sight for the supernatural begin to see the cracks...like little tears in the sky above them. Something appears to be coming, as though ripping open the very fabric of the world to cross over...but what? Whom?

Time advances...but aside from the perceptive few, the day goes on without incident. For now...

 * ~:: The Kids Who Leaped Through Time ::~ *
Prologue - 20XX, 10:30 P.M., Former Yatagarasu Facility (Corrupted)"How much time?!"
"Five minutes? Keep them busy..."
Light teal hair flitted through the air in a whirlwind of steel and limbs, black ooze and crimson blood splattering upon the walls and his weapon as he cleaved through another wave of incoming berserkers...the remnants of what had once been humans now thoroughly something else, the result of some ailment festering inside of them that mankind had never fully come to understand. Of all of them, the closest to that feat would have to have been the shirtless green-haired man standing not so far behind him at a circle painted onto the walls of the derelict former-shrine of the Yatagarasu, but even he hadn't been able to fully unravel the mystery of the Curse that had swallowed and enslaved the world to darkness. Instead, he could only slow the spread of the corruption within those who were infected, and even then it was only for a short period of time...weeks, months at best...no one who had ever been infected had ever maintained their consciousness for more than a year even with his time manipulation. Most who went without were mindless husks spitting out the often-called 'Black Abyss' from their lips and tongues and blades within a matter of days, looking to spread the Corruption to all of those around them. And spread it they had...in weeks entire towns had fallen, within months most major cities had been thoroughly Corrupted and the people inside of them changed into the zombie-like monsters that they were now. Within two years, even the capital was under siege by the Corruption, and within five years it was gone as well, the government having disappeared or been changed like the rest of them. Only a few small pockets of humanity remained after that...powerful clans defending their own turf like the Taihaku or the Shimazu, ancient rivals now allies in the fight to maintain their sanity amidst a world gone completely mental. And of course, there was the Resistance...remnants of the Yatagarasu lead by what remained of their authoritative branch and the former Kyouji Kuzunoha (for a while)...and whatever scattered warriors and survivors they could recover and bring into their fold. That was where they were now, amongst the very few remaining of the Resistance...breaking into a facility that had once been their own. There were mere dozens of them remaining now, and in their current situation...it was hard to say that number wouldn't soon become zero. This was a last-ditch effort, a gamble not for themselves, but for their children...another future, another world...to save them from this Corrupted Hell if not change the world that had already lost to this peril. They were risking everything, himself...and even the man who had once been their most hated enemy, now working with all his wit and power to open the path into the past for those kids who were brave enough to set foot inside the Corridor. Time was nearly gone...in the room beyond this one they waited for the chance to step through, holding off whatever Corrupted passed through the wall of bodies that the teal-haired warrior and the others could form against them. If only the fused Summoner could spare his power to help them, but all his concentration was required to open the door...to allow the others through...to make sure that Aeon could find his way...and lead the others to the world beyond. He wished it hadn't come to this...that there was still some hope for this world to recover...but in his heart, he knew that the end had been looming for a while now. His eyes shifted back to the broken down door to the room beyond, and he wished that he could see him one more time...that brown hair and stern gaze...his pride, the Pride of the Shimazu...and his son...
"Tsuki-chan...our boy, he's going now," he whispered and the distraction nearly cost him his head, a Corrupted leaping with preternatural skill at his head with teeth and claws, only instinct and skill allowing him to twist and whip his chained blade through the thing's neck to let it fall on either side of him harmlessly. Black blood splattered over his face but thankfully none in his eyes or his mouth. He couldn't be that careless again...not yet...not until he knew that they were gone. "They're all going...to change it...to the..." He paused as two berserkers pressed him back, forcing him to use his full strength to shove them away and whip in a circle, tearing through necks in one smooth motion...only to see three more bodies fill in behind them. "TIME! How much TIME?!" he cried out as the enemy continued to swarm, to overwhelm...they were nearly out of time, whether the portal was open or not. The door needed to open...it HAD to open...
...
"Don't rush me...no matter what you might think, I'm doing this as fast as it can be done without landing them anywhere between the Sengoku Age and the Stone Age. Time isn't something to be taken lightly," the summoner chided, sounding as calm and sleepy as he ever did...but the frantic movement of his fingers told a different story, awareness of the alarm behind him and the desperation of this moment. Just a few more seconds and the Door would open...from there, it would be up to Aeon to do his part and lead them through. He just had to remember what his father had taught him...what he had taught him. Idly, his mind drifted to that annoying summoner so many years ago...all flat and dark-haired, spouting off her grandiose words like she knew everything. But in this case, she had been right about everything...about the severity of the Corruption, about how this sort of world wasn't the chaotic paradise that he sought for his slumber...she had said that the world would need to band together and he had laughed at her then. Now here he was, right where she said he'd need to be...practically humanity's last hope for some of them to escape this darkness. What shitty irony. "I bet you're laughing your a** off somewhere out there, Shitty Kuzunoha," he scoffed, but despite the less-than-friendly nickname, there was on ill-will in his tone anymore. He didn't have time to hate anybody real when there were so many Corrupted assholes out there trying to take a chunk out of him and make him all mindless like they were right now. And definitely not when his own son was in there...no, he needed to get this done. Right... "Done," he whispered a final incantation and a light erupted from the doorway beyond them, a door into the Corridor opening wide before the kids awaiting their path into the past. Letting out a small sigh that he had gotten at least this much right, the green-haired layabout turned with an annoyed and sleep glare at the hordes of the Corrupted creeping up behind him, pushing through the last of their makeshift Resistance, trying to get at their last hope before the door could close behind them. As if he'd let them... "You know, I never really thought I'd waste my time going all out on the likes of you trash," the master of Chaos sighed as his body began to change into blue, his eyes flashing dangerously as time seemed to slow around him...and a severity and anger filled his tone that was altogether chilling, different from the lazy bum that they all knew when they saw him, "But just for today...just because you're trying to screw this up when I'd really hoped we could manage without fighting...I'm going to show you the full power of a real Kuzunoha Summoner. ...Right, Cie-"
...
"VARIABLE PARTICLE BEAAAAAAAAM!" "DEMONBANE TWO-SWORD!" "HAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!" "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!"
...
"Guys, they're still coming," Venu warned the two gung-ho gunners firing at the Corrupted that were leaking through the Resistance's wall and filing into the room, blasting away with extreme prejudice at what they hoped would be the last of the Corrupted that they would ever see. Ever the practical one, however, the summoner's son was calling them to rejoin the group near the door, but not without firing a shot or two to keep the horde at bay when the time seemed appropriate for action. Though not exactly the leader, he had always been well respected, and in the chaos that was ensuing now, his voice was certainly one that they wouldn't tune out. Still, even as they glanced back at him a berserk Corrupted blasted through the throng of bodies and limbs to lunge at the two and nearly sunk teeth into the neck of the energetic lancer...but in an arc of twin swords its head neatly severed from its neck and rolled along the ground before a painted-up girl that looked more like a cartoon than a person...her chilly laughter as she kicked the head up into her hands and looked it over just once setting many of the group of youngsters at ease...right before her hands crushed the thing into a black pulp and tossed it aside, as if exorcising some frustration of her own upon the disgusting thing. "Tch...stupid Corruption. Can't you leave it for once? You already took..." the sound of an explosion of power from the violet-haired girl's lance deafened them all again for a minute and cut her off...and it was then that the one whose swords had severed the head stood from his crouch before the two enthusiastic fighters, looking at them sternly with an even expression that seemed to question whether or not it was necessary to unload such a loud attack while he was right beside the lance...before glancing over his shoulder at the oncoming horde and deciding that now wasn't really the time to be debating something quite like that. No, this was a time...to move. "Euphie, Kuzaku...the Door," he wasn't one for speaking with a flourish like this father, but he knew how to get to the heart of the matter in a few words or less. Taking either of the two by the shoulder he pulled them at once into a dash by his side...headlong towards the entrance of the Corridor that was finally opening its mouth to welcome them to the worlds beyond, "Bel, Zaitou, cover..." The blind warrior released his dark demon and the Prince of Bel let erupted a torrent of fire that practically walled the Corrupted off from them for a long enough moment that the team was already in motion towards the Door behind them...and there were few who were wasting the opportunity that so many of their parents had bought for them with their abilities...and for some, their lives....
"Mashiro, come on," the voice of the twin sister of the Holy Basil called out as she clenched his hand tight, fighting against his urge to rush back into the room before and help the others...dragging him with her towards the portal despite his unspoken protests, "I know how you feel, but this is our mission now! You can't save them...but you can save the world. So move...your...a**!" He hesitated only a moment longer, and complied, and within moments they were the first through the corridor, followed by Kuzaku and Euphie, the Shimazu Swordsman hesitating only a moment behind them. "Aeon, make sure everyone's in before you close this door...I don't want to lose anyone...el...se?" through the throng of bodies he was sure that he had seen it...brown hair, light, a shine of glasses? It was all so familiar that it hit him in the chest like a hammer...a ghost from the past, someone who he thought had been lost, but... "Impossible..."
"Inigo, come on!" Relika, reliable as ever, caught his shellshocked expression and took him by the shoulder, nudging it once to shake him out of his surprise. Clutching his upper arm she pulled him along with her through the door and made their way into the Corridor; she knew that they would both be needed for whatever they encountered on the other side. Right behind them were Venustus and Patris, even as a certain Wind Demon picked off a Corrupted diving at their backs with a well-placed gust of wind. Casting a wink and licking her lips as the thing splattered into nothing, she followed her mistress into the chasm and the worlds beyond. They weren't exactly edible, those Corrupted, but just seeing the splatter made her hungrier than she had been in a while. Oh, she missed the battles...but there would be plenty more to come. She knew it. Especially if they were going where her beloved 'Dinner' was. "Come on, girls...doesn't the idea of a stroll through time together sound romantic?" the would-be player son of a Heartilly called teasingly from the entrance as Dolus and Fate fought past a pair of Corrupted towards the Gate...another burst of scorching flame torching any stragglers filing in behind them as they dove into the gate. Two more Corrupted crashed and splattered black against an invisible wall as they followed, a little parting gift and a middle finger from a red-haired lady as she fell into the Portal, followed by the smirking Heartilly who really seemed to be impressed by the spunk of all this team filing in before him. Maybe it wasn't such a bad idea to join up with this lot after all? Then again...he thought as Zaitou face-planted just in front of the portal and had to be dragged in by Bel for the last couple of inches, even as a Shadow seemed to DESTROY two Corrupted leaping at the blind warrior...maybe it was more trouble than it was worth. He wasn't certain. ...One large broadsword cleaved three Corrupted in a single swing, clearing the Gateway for the next two who made their way to the gate. The Heavily-Armored Estelle bore a smaller girl with pale skin, long black hair, and a strange way about her on her back...carrying her piggyback straight into the portal. And if her hand had strayed just a little bit further up the girl's thigh and over the backside, well, it was well deserved for hauling the girl into the damned space between worlds, right?
...
"Trip!" a girl in a bat-t-shirt called out from a corner where she and a reddish-orange haired girl were fighting admirably against the growing horde but finding themselves increasingly hemmed into the corner away from the Portal...and as a wave of ice crashed into one Corrupted two more closed in on the duo with snarling ferocity. It was at that moment that the room darkened...and a massive body filled the space for mere moments, but with a single deep breath lightning crackled and charred a mass of the enemy, clearing a path for just long enough that the two girls could dash towards the portal...the dragon returning to normal as they passed and dove into the door without a second thought. Whatever lay in the Corridor beyond, it couldn't be any worse than the Hell leaking into this room right now, right? Trip watched and took a deep breath as his Atma faded, feeling the last of his power leaving him...he had fought hard to get here, near the front with the adults, and now the fatigue was getting to him. Worst possible moment, he knew, but at least those girls had...s**t! He flinched as the growl of an undead behind him let him know that the drop was on him...he wouldn't make it in time! Couldn't turn fast enough! He couldn't...! ...A gurgle filled the air at once...and the expected blow from the monster never came, a whirl of rainbow and black behind him suddenly lifting the monstrosity into the air, fingers plunged viciously into the throat of the monster, lifting it high into the air as the black blood leaked out over her clawed fingers...until at once the head tore from the neck and the body fell to the ground. "Ah ah ah~" Narue Taihaku teased the severed head within her grip, glancing at Trip just once before ceasing to acknowledge him, instead speaking to the head as though it were still breathing, "That's no way to get a-'head'...and YOU!" In one smooth motion, without looking, the sword in her other hand shot back and pierced a Corrupted through the forehead, right above the nose...clean, perfect, fatal, "Stuff it.". Her gaze turned to it, chiding, as Trip couldn't help but shake his head and follow into the Portal with the others, leaving the two uncanny lovebirds behind as the last of the lot to enter. If she didn't make it, well, it was probably better for all of them...even if he didn't have anything against her. Aeon, on the other hand, had better follow after them soon...without him, their shot of getting to the right world was slim to none. Much as he hated to admit it after all they had fought about it before the mission, it was what it was. And they had a job they had to do...right?
...
"Rue-Rue..." Aeon called from the Portal to the Corrupted Girl, beckoning her to join him at his side and leave the fight behind her. The swarm of Corrupted was filing into the room now, slowly crossing the distance towards them...and as she looked back at him there was a moment of sadness, her eyes met his...and she smiled faintly, as if wondering, debating something. In that moment, deep inside of his heart, the Time Wizard couldn't help but feel convinced...she wasn't going to be joining him after all. And so he waited, because really, there wasn't any chance in the world that he was going to enter into that portal and leave this world without her. It was all of them, or it was none of them. That had been his insistence from the beginning, and he wouldn't be giving it up now when they were so close to a new world, a place where he could try to help her without the constant threat of death hanging over their heads, daily attacks, daily running here and there to get away from the enemy. They had a job to do, sure, but even so, it would be nothing like this world they were in now. It was a place that he could finally slow down and really have...time. For himself, for her, for the cure...for the world? But none of it would mean a thing to him if he had to leave this world behind with her in it...he had lost much in his life and he would not allow her to join that list. He wouldn't...and so he waited that long instant, holding her gaze...until at last she pulled her sword from the Corrupted and tossed the severed head into the crowd, dashing with all of her strength to outrun the oozing horde to the blue-skinned boy and the infinite worlds beyond. "Close it!" she cried as she dove out for the gate...the race between she and the Corrupted neck-and-neck...and as she reached the portal the fanciful young man caught her hand and pulled her in with him, his fingers curling into a hand-sign and a whispered incantation escaped his lips just then. Through the gate they fell...and a tide of black seemed to crash against it just then...perhaps even a few of them even passed through before the gate closed. And amidst the tide there were a few unusual faces...this undead, Corrupted mass mingling together with figures in possession of their own agenda...all racing into this shimmering forever that faded into nothing...
...
And in the span of an instant, they were gone from the world...to the space in between and beyond...the kids who leaped through time...
...
"Everyone ready?" the voice of the Time Wizard called out as the team recovered from their landing, amidst the endless, timeless landscape of the Corridor...and those who had made it through the gate nodded their assent, wasting no time getting started, "...And now we must brave the long dark of the Akarana Corridor. ...Be on your guard. There are older...and fouler things than Corrupted in the deep places between time..."
...
"Did you just steal that line from the Lord of the Rings?"
"Yes! Yes! How'd you know?"
...
"This is going to be one Hell of a trip..."
Quote: And so the Travelers from 'Bad Future' passed through the Akarana Corridor...a journey that was perilous and not without incident. And on September 13th, at 3:25 PM...the gate from the Corridor opened over the Supernatural Hotbed...and the children emerged! Scattered, and followed by terrible creatures from within the Corridor, they land at last in the Present.
...But upon landing all is not entirely safe. What emerged behind them from the Corridor must be dealt with before the real mission can begin. Pair up with your fellow Traveler and whatever locals might be willing to aid you! Defeat your enemy! And once the fight is over...reunite with your friends to begin your journey in a new Era!
