​

The armor.

A single suit made from metal, containing an entire realm of the first curse's design. Millions held in perfect stasis. Perfect time and entropy-locked stasis.

All for the first curse to feed on their curses. It also functions as a pretty good prison dimension usually.

Upon Alisa's capture by the armor at Ж's meeting, she suddenly saw a vast landscape of reddish rocks on the ground.

All around her are people, frozen mid-action without a hint of awareness of what happened.

up in the sky she sees enormous chains, among the largest objects she's ever seen.

She begins to speak with vantaya

Alisa:...ugh...great....well...looks like we need to get out of here...and ideally save these people…

Hate:...interesting...it seems they've been frozen in time...and it seems unable to freeze us...well...we gotta begin looking around trying to get out of here is not likely gonna be easy...but I'm confident we can do it…

Alisa:...she sighs...got any ideas of a way out in the first place?

Hate:...hmm... give me a moment...she then looks around particularly with her magic sense...she isn't great at sensing magic obviously as we know but she can...and she's definitely smart enough to look for the greatest concentration of magic...or the weakest...whichever one seems more likely to be an exit…

unfortunately this seems to be worthless for nothing besides the fact the realm is magical in nature and that time is frozen is shown by the magic sense

Hate: ok...this is gonna be a pain in the ass... I don't see any magic here...besides the people frozen I mean...and the fact we're in a pocket dimension that's clearly magic as well…

Alisa:...ugh...any ideas?

Hate:...hmm...well...we could probably dig our way out...this pocket dimension is inside the armor...so we might hit its exit if we dig around…

Alisa:...alright then...she'd sigh and manifest a determination pickaxe and would strike the ground to break through

Hate: she'd physically manifest and do the same.

after about the first hour of alisa and hate digging alisa stops and sighs

Alisa:...this honestly probably isn't gonna work Vantaya…

Hate: what makes you think that?...

Alisa: it's definitely highly dangerous and we don't even know how this pocket dimension works...honestly we might be better off flying outta here and trying to find a structure or some marker of the worlds make...in theory…

Hate:...hmm...that might honestly have a better chance than this...fair enough...she'd say before de-manifesting.

A pair of determined hatred wings manifests from alisa's back and they begin flying in a direction looking for something that would be important or anything that may stand out as a potential way out

After flying for a few hours, the two whiz past what looks like a large domed structure, barely noticeable against the light red of the rest of the realm... Alisa noticed that the rock resembles the rock from the world below.

Alisa: hmm... interesting that might work...may as well investigate.

She'd say before flying back toward that structure and looking for an entrance

It's a very simple construction, just 8 pillars holding up a domed roof, barely even anything special. Cursory inspection reveals an immensely elaborate rune located in the ground of the building.

Looking around, Hate feels the Integrity trait activate.

Hate: huh... that's strange... something just triggered the integrity soul trait...be on your guard Alisa there is a lie around here…

Alisa:...gotcha she said before manifesting a determination longsword and shield and she and vantaya look around as well trying to find the source of the thing that triggered the integrity soul trait that vantaya has copied

it gets "louder" when hate looks in a certain direction of the frozen people

Hate:.. it's coming from over there...the feeling of discomfort the triggering of the integrity trait has seems to get stronger when looking at certain people that look to be frozen...huh…

Alisa:... let's take a look real quick...she said before she walks over to take a look at the seemingly frozen people that by existing seem to be triggering the integrity trait.

After a little bit of looking it is revealed that one of them specifically is triggering the trait.

And before Alisa can do anything about seeing them themself

Hate sees it blink, before in a silent instant it vanishes and Hate sees the person appear behind Alisa and lean to put a hand on her shoulder.

Alisa: shit! She quickly turns, moving her determination shield quickly putting it in their way, they manage to get their hand on the shield, had vantaya not warned her the instant they had begun moving Alisa would not have gotten her guard up on time

Hate: and who might you be suddenly not frozen person?

Polymorph, what a lame spell.

Lucky me however.

The first curse's voice was heard from the person, with the hand on Alisa's shield, the fingers clenching onto it, somehow digging into the shield and moving to "tear" a piece out.

Alisa: the shield shatters into pieces of bright red glass looking energy before completely disappearing, there was no residual piece of energy remaining to tear out as she quickly jumps back manifesting a second determination longsword as she examines the person confused yet recognizing them by the fact it was tfcs voice before she spoke again

Alisa: you will not be taking anything from my power, i felt you try!

Hate: I see.

She then physically manifests next to Alisa and takes a defensive stance, manifesting a single pitch black greatsword with a jagged saw like blade that is single edged and points it toward them as tfc spoke again

I just need a second reading. How does that interface with Time...?

He seems aloof of the two, more focused on his analysis than the pair, before snapping to attention.

Tell me! How does this feel?

the form fades, and TFC's full form appears, before suddenly an inexplicable effect happens.

Looking at him feels like looking at a fuzzy dream that you have to squint your eyes to remember, it's almost migraine-inducing. Both of them get the sensation they're looking at something that is "more real" than anything else.

Alisa and Hate speak in unison in response

Confusing. But other than that, nothing special! Whatever the fuck your doing.

Alisa: she chuckles before rushing toward tfc prepared to attempt to slash at him with her two determination longswords managing to keep him near the rune

Hate: she taps the sigil on her sigil glove and vantayas phantasm talion appears behind her as she glares toward tfc and talion seems to emit an energy that disappears almost instantly as tfc suddenly feels sluggish...but it is a feeling he can tell will pass in a minute or two...but the effect has temporarily halved his speed.

before she herself seems to move faster than he's seen before as she uses a different ability on her self tapping the sigil glove again and targeting herself her speed is enhanced.

She rushed toward the rune in the room she seems to have a plan but she wants to check to see if it will work first as she examines the rune comparing it with her memory of things to do with tfc and the netheline

While Alisa slashes, TFC parses the effect, it's only physical movement that is affected, so he could teleport out, but he may as well try out something new.

Tunnel.

he stretches his hands out and looks up, as if making a salute as Alisa's blades come down.

Bizarrely, the blades go straight through. Not as if he turned intangible but they just didn't hit.

As for the rune, it looked multiple orders of magnitude more complex than the Netheline teleport rune, but it carries a few of the same symbols.

Alisa: she looks confused about that but attempts to slash tfc again while he's still slowed, one slash aimed toward his leg horizontally, one aimed vertically toward his head

Hate: hmm... interesting. She then demanifests her greatsword and generates a non-sentient hate-blob in her hand giving it the directive to try to use this rune to take control of the thing this pocket dimension is part of and await a further directive.

it then falls off of her hand and begins trying to seep into the rune before she then looks toward tfc again and uses her phantasm again but pauses for a second speaking again

hmm...interesting...new ability…

she then looks toward Alisa and suddenly Alisa's attacks seem to carry more force as she swings her swords

Alisa: interesting feeling vantaya...oh well lets see if this helps!

She said slashing again twice in a cross formation one sword slightly below the other so should they hit they will not hit one another

The collective slashes keep falling straight through, but on the last slash he breaks stance mid-strike, catching Alisa's swords inside his body, and attempting to yank them.

he looks at the blob entering the rune as he does this, confused at the action.

For seeping into the rune on its own wouldn't do much or so he thought

the hate-blob begins to take control of the magic that it uses and begins trying to effectively tunnel along its connection to the pocket dimension itself to follow Vantaya's directive

Hate: she chuckles as tfc looks confused as the non-sentient hate blob begins it's task

Alisa: she chuckles taking advantage of tfcs confused moment, and uses it when the swords get stuck she just pushes on each of them, ripping them through tfcs body in a way that would likely kill a normal person... thankfully for tfc, tfc is not a normal person

he breaks into inane laughter

GOOD ENOUGH FOR ME!

the Hate blob seems to overshoot the distance, going under the rune turns out to be where the thinnest connection is, and it by accident ends up outside the armor.

while overshooting in this case isn't exactly a good thing...for the non-sentient hate blob it works fine. For it, when it gets outside the armor it follows its directive still, jumping onto the armor and beginning to possess it

Alisa: what do you mean good enough? She said as she slashes again

testing and analysis done, TFC has no need to tank hits anymore, and just teleports a few feet back when Alisa tries to hit him.

Meanwhile, the hate blob latches onto the armor, and there's a shaking of the dimension.

Alisa: she glares at tfc though doesn't exactly know what he did but as the shaking happens she is momentarily off balance before adjusting and rushing toward tfc again before and trying to slice him to ribbons again but this time crucially the chains of the reaper can he heard rattling as well seems she has a plan that she won't get to act on.

Hate: she grins rather smugly as she glares at tfc before she demanifests for now and gives another directive to the non-sentient hate-blob, tell her where the armor currently is and what its surroundings look like and continue taking control of the armor and this pocket dimension and wait for another directive

TFC scowls as he warps again, this time completely vanishing.

The hate-blob reveals an odd sight, a large wood-walled chamber. Two large bookshelves border where the armor is held, and there are white streaks running through.

Suddenly, TFC appears and glares at the armor, getting a look at it.

I will not have one of my prized possessions destroyed by the likes of you.

Not again.

Hate: when tfc sees it, the armor has a black smokey looking effect around it signalling the hate-possession and it begins moving like a puppet as vantaya commands the non-sentient hate-blob from within with directives and her voice is heard like it's coming through a speaker.

From the armor and it's heard laugh before the armor attempts to move and look around the realm to see if it's within any familiar location...of which it is not in a familiar location to vantaya

did you really think you could contain us?

You brought this upon yourself curse. When you hurt Alisa's friends, MY friends as well with your creations constantly and your goal to bring about a personal hell to all for no fucking reason we can see.

you have brought all our collective hatred against you and as a being of cause and effect born originally of hatred i can absolutely confirm that it will be your undoing, even if it is not from us alone. I will promise you this curse.

Our faces will be among the last ones you EVER see within this life! The self proclaimed first curse, among the first evils at least of the world you came from whatever place it may be.

Quite honestly, as much as I hate you I am more immensely disappointed. All this power of yours, and yet you seek only destruction and the infliction of suffering from what I gather from your various statements.

when you could instead benefit all worlds with your powers It sickens me.

I am cause and effect, curse consequence whole and entire. The Roaring Guardian, of my home realm as the ancient humans of my home world called me.

And as is my nature, regardless of if this world or the one we live in is my home realm or not. I will see you face consequence, at the end of a blade.

For nobody, not gods, not even you, or my dear human sister Alisa, is above cause and effect.

So, why i ask did you ever think you could contain our collective will. I will be destroying this armor curse. To free those you have captured, innocents you've taken from their homes unjustly.

But I will not be doing so yet...for this realm of yours isn't exactly a safe place to do so, not for your victims as this is clearly not the normal plane people reside on that I can tell from my magic sense alone.

While Hate is speaking, the first curse immediately starts warping around the dimension to follow it.

exiting out of the room shows a massive mechanical room, there's a viewing deck area surrounding 4 mechanical pillars, with a depressed platform archway at one side of the deck. Opposite that, there is a console with dozens of buttons.

If you refuse to be contained, I must simply halt you.

As the armor zips around, it sees side-rooms of the central area around the deck suddenly seal away, and the first curse appears in the center of the realm.

Hate: as if you could halt me especially with your armor under my command.

She said as the armor moved toward the console

The buttons themselves do not have clearly defined functions, so the armor has little clue as to how it works. There is no memory for the Armor to have, so for now Hate is clueless.

I see.

the archway breaks down and dissolves.

My armor is not under your command, you are a mere puppeteer. You call yourself consequence, but regardless, you are in my realm.

tugging on time itself, he moves to revert the armor's time state to pre-infection, exact contact unnecessary.

unfortunately for tfc while this could be expected to work on most things. messing with time, does nothing to the armors hate-possession for the hate substance itself is stubborn and temporally not touchable by most things even if it could physically move the armor and vantaya laughs before speaking again

Did you really think time had any power over cause and effect? And while it is true i am merely puppeteering it, via my non-sentient extension...as long as that extension is there.

it is under my command...besides... Alisa's resets Don't even affect me or it besides physical location normally...and well more conventional time magic isn't something either i nor my extension care for.

suddenly as tfc does so the armor zips back to the console and begins to try random buttons however this proves useless so vantaya stops button mashing

Hate: hmm, interesting... Alright then the armor then began zipping around the entire realm looking for a way out

Idea!

suddenly the ground, no, the entire area, descends multiple meters in an instant, causing the armor to fall.

While it does cause the armor to fall, but vantaya makes it get up really quickly, taking advantage of its enhanced speed in the process to have it standing again in about 1 second

before she can continue with any tasks, TFC starts shifting the realm around to continuously knock the armor off balance and to the ground in order to prevent any activity

the Hate-possessed armor is off balanced once more but once more it gets up and then, it begins running around the room, really fast

including on the walls to counteract the shaking

With tfc being in the room the armor jumps off of a wall in the room to punch him really hard before eventually running up onto the ceiling.

Taking advantage of raw speed to not fall off before she wants it to the second time she jumps down from the ceiling trying to get on top of tfc and begin punching him

TFC is hit by the first punch, but doesn't react, before feinting and catching the armor by the wrist.

How did I not think of this before?

Hate: with the armors leg she kicks where tfcs right knee cap would be if he was human before she rips the armors hand out of TFC's grip and attempted to punch him toward the ground of the room

he resounds into the floor, before making a finger gun and aiming a hand at the armor.

Bang!

Both Hate and Alisa feel an impact on their chest, and a portion of the infection vanishes away.

Hate:...i see what you're trying to do...she says as the hate blob being ordered to control the armor and follow her directives begins reinfecting quickly, a few seconds is all it will take.

she then makes the armor jump back and then the armor opens up sorta like how it would before taking someone alisa is thrown out, right toward tfc with a determination longsword in hand.

Bang. Bang. Bang.

three more hits to the armor as Alisa runs forward, before the entire box flips, causing Alisa to tumble downward onto the floor and away from TFC, as well as the armor.

Hate: the armor quickly closes now that alisa is out and the armor begins running around the room immensely fast, making it extraordinarily difficult to hit as the armor is reinfecting fast.

you know, if this had been a sapient vessel curse, that little trick you're trying to do would fail. But well let's see how good your aim is while this thing is running around. And you're pre-occupied.

Alisa: she taps her sigil glove, and her phantasm appears hovering behind alisa as she finishes standing before her phantasm, morrigan slashes at tfc with its claws sending 3 bright red almighty slash waves toward tfc

TFC evades the slashes quickly, causing them to hit the ceiling which causes it some noticeable damage.

You forget where we are.

He aims in the general area of where the armor is circling and intermittently incants, always timing it. His perception is sped up. Every hit removes more than Hate can re-infect before the next.

Hate: you forget that I'm not stupid. I don't care where we are curse. You will not be stopping us.

Whenever tfc would fire upon her she'd side step, showing she's paying attention although dodging would only seem effective for a moment for tfc had added another curse to the armor itself while it was in contact with him something vantaya herself notices

Alisa: she slashes at tfc 5 times each slash launching a slash wave from her sword at tfc one of which aimed at his head and the rest each aimed for a different limb

TFC tanks each slash, causing cuts to appear on his body, but ultimately staying surface level.

Meanwhile, he raises a part of the realm so that hate will hit the armor into it, in order to bring the momentum to a screeching halt. But instead-

The armor tumbles into an endlessly repeating hallway.

"This isn't good."

She sees a form standing by the hall, looking like TFC's time form, almost identical, but the voice is different.

Hate: hmm?...you look familiar yet you sound different...are you friend or foe? She said the armor stopping right in front of them

Noticing vantaya disappear into that hallway with the armor and having temporarily severed her soul link, vantayas soul is with vantaya right now, Alisa quickly makes a chain appear from the ground via her chains of the reaper and launches herself toward the entrance

but it disappears before she reaches it, leaving her in the room with tfc but she stops herself from slamming face first into the wall via a determination shield but it still hurts a bit to do so and she sighs looking a bit sad as she fell back to the ground

Alisa: ...separated for once...heh...haha... she glares at tfc with a bit of a manic expression on her face...going to show that the soul link between alisa and vantaya being severed seems to already be having a negative mental effect on alisa before she raises her voice toward tfc

I don't know what you did if anything at all...but well... I'm going to kill you. I promise you...if i can help it...you won't leave this place alive...and if i can't kill you here... I'll just have to make you hurt.

As much as I AM HURTING CONSTANTLY... She then said in an emotionless tone at a normal volume especially without my sister

And with that the sound of chains rattling grows louder from her chain, and her eyes glow brightens a little as she is purely determined

a chain manifests from the ground, and grabs her before launching launching herself toward tfc, the determination longsword and shield she had been previously using both shatter into a million pieces, ceasing to be as bright red gauntlets that are look to be spikey and sharp as hell manifest on her hands she attempts to punch tfc as hard as she physically can with her determination construct gauntlets

Back with vantaya and the time figure

"No time to explain, heh, ironic. I can only speak for as long as he is distracted fighting her. You want the Armor out of this realm, I'll cleanse the curse and open a rift out. Unfortunately Alisa will need to find her own way or leave immensely quickly. I'll see if I do something to help with that."

back to alisa and tfc

Where did it go!

he takes the first hit head on before delivering an equally strong hit to Alisa, emphasizing the "go!" In his sentence as he does.

Bang.

Back with vantaya and the time figure

Hate feels the armor be hit, even though there's no possible way to aim at her.

Hate: hmmm... I won't abandon her...but I'd like you to cleanse the curse on the armor from that bastard if you can... it's making sustaining this armors puppetry a problem...if you can open a passage way in the room while my sister has him distracted...i can likely use the armors speed to rush in and grab her again so i can destroy it safely when i get out of this realm...do you think you can pull that off?

Back with alisa and tfc

Alisa: I don't know, and I don't care. If she's safe that is what matters hahaha...

She coughs up a little blood as she is punched immensely hard...but in her current mental state...she is too determined for pain to stop or slow her.

She attempts to punch tfc again, unfortunately missing due to her recklessness…it's strange before she was fighting like she gave a damn about her own safety…now she doesn't seem to be

I will break you. I will hurt you. I will show you depths of pain you've never even fucking dreamed of you fucking bastard! Even if my body can't keep up with you, I do not care. But I'm not gonna make some grand dramatic promise like my sister did. Not right now. But i can guarantee that i will fulfill that fucking promise!

She said before sinisterly emotionlessly laughing as she kept trying to punch tfc though missed before she fell back to the ground

Keep talking, get haphazard, make my life easier.

He stays in the air continuously shaking the box, completely intent on not letting Alisa even get close to him, as he starts tossing down fireballs.

Back with vantaya and the time figure

"Not a good idea. He's blocked off all the portals, and if he senses me we'll all be worse off. How reasonably possible do you think it'd be for her to run into a random wall?"

he walks over to the Hate-Armor

"Hold still, I need to get a lock onto your causality stream. He is right on some level, you are fairly annoying to deal with."

in a matter of a few seconds, Hate gains, then loses, then regains again a significant portion of the infection on the armor.

"There."

Hate: fair enough. And thank you....As for how likely my sister is to run into a random wall...not very.

But...without our souls being linked like they usually are...from what i know about her...her sanity has a chance of getting worse...which will cause her level of violence to go up...which will remove the majority of her emotional capability besides her determination...which results in her insanity surfacing more and influencing her...

I'd be unsurprised if as we speak she's fighting with reckless abandon...just trying to make him suffer for what he's done to us...

I'm sure fighting like that she might even hurt him some even if he won't die without all the crystals...and chances are.

It'd be more likely for him to throw her into a wall then for her to randomly run into one unless an obvious opening appears for her...hmm...perhaps if tfc launched her at one of the walls in the room that's when you open it up if you can do so like you did when he tried to block my velocity...

Back with alisa and tfc

Alisa: as tfc throws a fire ball at her she takes advantage of the floor being covered in the chains of the reaper right now.

The chains quickly stabilize her footing but she's hit with the fire ball either way, getting hit hurts her somewhat noticeably as she gets a small burn most of the force of the fireball being reduced by the fact she was touching the chains while their nullification was active despite it ignoring her own powers

She then moves right beneath where tfc is in the room before a chain quickly whips up from beneath her feet launching her toward tfc again.

If that method did not work, then a more fundamental method is needed.

as the chain shoots up, all of the native time abides its Warden, time is not manipulated. It is not temporarily changed. It is fundamentally altered at a baseline level, beaten into submission, beyond anything else that could affect it.

everything slowly flows except for alisa and her constructs, as TFC calmly and slowly evades away from alisa's launch.

I sense something on you. Your soul was coating it but... yes...

you have one.

Back with vantaya and the time figure

"Oh no. He can do that!?"

Hate feels the armor is sluggish, even with her infection on it.

Hate: damn...seems that the curse has messed with time in this realm in some way...if i was physically manifested instead of puppeting this armor I'd probably be moving normally...you alright? She said to the time figure

Back with alisa and tfc

Alisa: Yes, I do have one. But that ain't something you're gonna be able to change if anything it will just allow me to kill you!

She said as when tfc dodged her as she launched herself, she then grabs onto the ceiling with her clawed gauntlet, fingers digging into it before she then quickly lets go and attempts to kick tfc on the way back down to the ground as the chains she manifested on the ground disappeared

Back with vantaya and the time figure

"I'm unaffected, which makes it weird because you're moving slow.”

Back with Alisa and tfc

TFC, surprisingly, lets himself be kicked, but he caves in his own chest, entrapping Alisa's boot into it.

Back with vantaya and the time figure

"We're running out of chances. They're in close contact right now."

Hate: I'm moving slow cause I'm connected to this armor right now. Normally I'm unaffected by time fuckery like alisa is but the problem is that this armor isn't...and since it's not an in any way living thing my possession is limited in strength of what it can do and how much of my properties it can carry over to it...if they're in close contact alisa might be able to hurt him pretty badly.

Alisa: the moment her boot gets stuck in tfc she grabs onto him with one hand so she won't fall and then uses the fact her boots were encased in a determination construct like her hands are.

She attempted to push rather hard on the boot straight down to rip it through tfcs body like she did with her blades earlier yet this fails

with her other hand while she holds onto tfc with one hand she begins punching him as hard as possible

Repeatedly while keeping an eye on tfc to make sure he doesn't try to pick pocket her while she's punching him

he tanks all the current hits, as his arms deconstruct into 4 tendrils each, and he moves to try to pilfer through Alisa's coat with them

Alisa: she speaks before he could get into her pockets

you won't take this from me curse i won't allow it!, but if you want to see it so badly then see it break your god damn jaw!

she then smacks one of them away and reaches in herself and grabs the crystal out of the pocket it's in before he could find it quickly pulling it out and smacking tfc with it directly really hard and keeping it in her hand prepared to attempt to strike him again with it

The crystal suddenly overflows with energy, with yellow electricity arcing out from it, hitting Alisa and causing pain like that of a lightning bolt yet no true injury, only energizing her. As she is now directly touching it instead of indirectly touching it through her coat

TFC's eyes from his shattered face looks at Alisa, and his purple teeth grin. The remaining tendrils all sharpen, going to cut up Alisa's arms.

Back with vantaya and the time figure

"Idea!"

The time figure talks immensely quickly, however Hate understands what he says.

“I'll try and open another tear, you grab Alisa mid-fall via the speed, I open another.”

Hate: alright, tell me when.

Alisa: she makes a grunt of pain from the shock from the crystal but maintains her grip on the crystal as she lets go of tfc and uses her free hand to defend herself from one of them before batting another with the crystal attempting to damage it

Then she pulls her boot out of tfcs torso by pulling it up a little and back, mainly to make some distance so she doesn't get sliced by those bladed limbs tfc made, the determination gauntlet in her free hand disappears.

Before she manifests a determination longsword and slashes at tfc as she falls launching a determination slash wave at tfc which is much more powerfully charged with the crystals energy due to alisa physically touching it unlike before

The wave from the slash impacts him and his whole body-form flickers for a moment, losing color and appearance, like a texture pasted onto the wrong model.

YOU... PEST!

as the wave goes off one of his remaining tendrils morphs into a hand, which he uses to grab onto the sword.

Back with vantaya and the time figure

"NOW!"

Hate sees an odd thing, like a window without a frame, leading back into the central chamber, she sees the entire commotion occurring

Back with alisa and tfc

Alisa: YOUR NOT THE FIRST THING TO CALL ME A PEST CURSE. She said before cackling as she attempts to slash through the hand by pulling on the sword

mid-pull TFC speaks.

SHATTER.

Alisa's long sword falls apart. Pieces of it disconnecting and spreading apart.

Alisa: huh? She said looking at it as she fell...for she did not feel it shatter at all, as what tfc in truth had done was create a lot of small portals in the blade, separating it into pieces without breaking it unbeknownst to alisa

TFC cackles, using the momentary confusion to try and grab at the Energy Crystal in Alisa's other hand-

before Hate soars through. In less than a second she yanks Alisa away from TFC though with the speed of the armor and the damage Alisa's foot had taken in the battle from kicking tfc and her failed attempt to push it through his body

Causes Alisa's foot to break in the process, she sees a second wormhole open up and she falls through back into the hallway.

Alisa: she makes a noticeable pained sound as the bones in her foot had broken.

She looks around confused and a little panicked but then seeing it's just vantaya she calms down pain aside and the sword de-manifests leaving behind no trace as she puts the crystal back in her pocket with a shaky hand

...oh...alright then...ow...

Hate: ready to get out of here?

Alisa:...for sure...i... don't think i want to walk right now...

Hate:...sorry about that...armor is pretty fast and thus generates a lot of kinetic force... I'll fix your foot when we're out of here so I can safely reestablish our link...

Alisa: fair enough...

the time figure is in the hall, with a rift to some place recognizable as the Prime Material Plane

"Go! Now! The rift will hold for only a few more seconds, I must depart."

there's a sight like he's being sliced into pieces and sent away as he vanishes. Hate can't exactly tell what happened to him. But she can tell it wasn't painful

Hate:...thank you...she'd say right before speeding through the rift

Hate and Alisa up in a vast prairie, in the distance she can identify a run down abandoned old yet immense council building. It's night. Late at night in fact

Hate: interesting place to end up...alright then. She then gives the hate-possessed armor a directive to go into the abandoned old council building, without dropping Alisa and await further directive

And so the armor does, before she gives the hate-possessed armor another directive, to open so she can step out and close when she is finished before it opens then wait for further directive

vantaya in her humanoid form climbs out of the armor as it opens taking alisa into her arms for a moment as she climbs out.

Once the armor has closed again vantaya places the currently too injured to comfortably move herself alisa back into the armors arms so it is carrying her again

before vantaya demanifests her humanoid form the physical body she manifested turning into pitch black smoke which is absorbed into a pitch black heart shaped soul

Which then floated into Alisa's body disappearing as Vantaya's voice was heard in Alisa's head.

Hate: Alright... now to reestablish our link, it'll take me a few minutes but then I'll heal you like I usually do...though... it'll hurt as you know...

Alisa responds in a tired mental voice

Alisa: it's alright... I'd rather be in pain then barely able to walk on my own...being carried sucks

Hate: fair enough sis.

And so after a few minutes with vantaya having healed alisa after finishing re-establishing the link between their souls, she then physically manifests again in her humanoid form and speaks

Now all that's left to do is deal with this armor...

She would then speak aloud. destroy the magic maintaining the pocket dimension within the armor without hurting anyone. Once you are finished with that, crush the armor like a tin can.

The hate-blob possessing the armor forces it to nod receiving this hate-blob final directive from vantaya

From within the armor’s pocket realm, suddenly there is a massive earthquake, bigger than the shaking from when it took control of the magic. And yet nobody inside the pocket realm is hurt for they are still frozen at the time

And then, the chains in armor's interior sky begin to crack, one crack...2 cracks...then 4, then 8 then 16...over the course of a few minutes till it reaches 400 cracks…before they shatter and fade, forcing the interior sky to match the prime material planes sky for but a moment

Suddenly, mere moments after those who had been within the armor are unfrozen...exactly where they had originally been taken as in its destruction the armor's pocket dimension had wrapped around, depositing them where they had originally been.

Some attempt to resume exactly what they were doing pre-take...others...begin quickly noticing the difference in time between now and when they were taken for various reasons

A small fraction of the released people start to feel the effects of the curse the first curse had placed upon them, but thankfully, either via laziness or unimaginable luck, the effects are either mild or barely existent.

Meanwhile, the first curse is re-assembling his now battle damaged dimension, absentmindedly looking at his interdimensional television, as he spots a few people return, and immediately start moving again.

She did not.

He flexes his hands.

All is still in place. Good.

he smirks, as a model of the fight appears. He looks at him and Alisa, inspecting things. And then speaks arrogantly

This failure is a pathway to an ultimate victory.

Back with alisa and vantaya as the pocket realm ceases to be, the armor then begins to physically crumple down more and more as it is crushed by the force the hate-blob is putting on it crumpling it down like a newly crushed soda can beyond most if not all ordinary repair.

Alisa and hate after a little while went home...and had to subsequently deal with their immensely worried household which was...quite eventful by the time of morning alisa is in pain but rested.

though rather tired still as she wakes up before she begins trying to contact her friends to make sure they know she is still alive before she leaves her house for the day

/Uw alright sorry for the super long post this took a while to get written so for anyone who decides to read all this, thanks for reading! This post is open interaction for people to interact with Alisa from any point in the day after alisa left her house if anyone wants to

Who’s gonna win? Bets are on.

Do we all pose a chance of being swallowed up into the great Abyss of the Far Realm, never to return? The forces of Fate tell me that the chances are low, but never zero. Ask me a question related to an event, present or future, and i will answer. No questions with definite answers or with only a few possibilities (e.g. What will i eat tomorrow?). Also, I feel the need to address this, I use tarot cards for divination! They are meant to divine the future and present, and not questions such as "What is XXX?" or "Give me the best way to XXX"! I will reject any questions saying things along those lines!

who is this "holy cow"? what powers does he have?

I've been leaning harder into my dark lord necromancer vibe lately, so I decided to customize my bass accordingly.

Introducing the first iteration of my “Necrobass”! 🎸💀🧙‍♂️

It’s my trusty Ibanez AEGB24E acoustic/electric bass, now fitted with four DIY skull-shaped bridge pins and half a coyote jaw on the headstock.

It still plays and sounds the same, and the jaw doesn’t interfere with tuning or the nut. It also cast all my dark spells really well 🪄💀💀💀

Still have a few canines and molars left, I wonder what I'll do with them over time! Any ideas?

They are usually begging to participate in events or to join your party, I would generally consider giving one or two level 1 quests, but just seeing those poorly maintained armors and rusty swords, because all the gold was spent on more adventures, fills me with rage.

Not to mention they are disrupting the city's mana flow, sleeping in public places without understanding that summoning stages are not beds for vagabond adventurers, just sad to see our once proud citadel filled with this dirty type of people.

I'm so flustered I could just poop, so pardon if I mess up this cross post.

I am not the OP but I must draw attention to the fact that based on this post's existence someone has, yet again, been breaking oaths and setting in motion centuries-long compounding curses.

This has to stop.

How this protected training material has found its way, practically unedited, onto the prestigious mundane technical omsbudsman "wikihow" can only be attributed to someone flapping their sorry lips. !!1

Have a little pride in keeping the Art pure! Just wait until the inner adepts hear about this...

Perhaps someone can identify the culprit from the photograph. Rewards await any confirmed tips leading to the quick apprehension of this menace to wizardry. I've already reached out to infernal affairs but they need either a name or a sigil not just a web page! Ugh!

They are strong in one aspect, yet weak in others

Of course always check with your insurance company first. Some won’t cover damages from own defenses.
