"...--"

Star doesn't even get to speak when he hears a voice in his head. It is his voice, but it echos around like the Time Elementals.

"Don't say anything... This isn't your area to judge, and it is better you learn that now. I can't believe I was so niave back then, but you don't have time to stay that way. Stay out of this, at least as long as you can. You shouldn't even be here if I remember correctly, you should have died holding the time lines apart. You aren't ment to interfere and you couldn't if you tried."

Star is surprised but he doesn't show it and answers back with his mind.

".... Fine... Just go back to your own life and stay away from mine..."

The voice doesn't answer back, but disappears.

Origin was thinking about what to say, but Blue hit the same thing Origin was thinking.


"How about you tell us what their sentence will be and we can decide if it is fair... We can be a... jury of sorts. Still, Blue's idea does sound like a good one, and you could consider it."

Dracoonx4 just sits and waits, not saying anything and almost not caring anymore. Everything he could have possibly done is now over because he is to weak.

*thinking* "I can't even do what I was supposed to.... Strongest fighter in the universe... what a joke... Why did he have to create me so wea--. I can't believe I over looked that! Looks like I have something to occupy me for a while."

Dracoonx4 looks up having his own opinion about the situation and almost projects it incorrectly.

"How is breaking your destiny to make something better a bad thing? Shouldn't everything have free choice regardless? I can tell you do, so why don't they? And isn't destiny something you were supposed to do no matter what? If so, then how could they do something different? Did you consider that what they did might be what they were supposed to do, and that everything was supposed to happen because Fate wants something to change or be set right? I mean really, how can you 'judge' someone for doing the right thing instead of the wrong thing. If you judge them, you might as well judge me for the same reason. I was programmed to fight and kill everything that got in my way, and I didn't have free choice, but I changed and became a different thing and maybe it is the better thing..."

Dracoonx4 looks up with a new understanding, he doesn't need to be the strongest, he just needs to be strong enough to do what he decided to. Help people who aren't as strong as he...

Kyr'Shei stares at Dracoon with his wise eyes. "Well, perhaps I should go into detail about the Oracles to help you understand.

"The Oracles have existed since the beginning of time. When the first few Universes were created, there was no Oracle King; we decided things in a group. The first Universes, we decided, needed to be governed, so we chose leaders for those first few. As more were created, more Oracles were appointed governors... and tension increased. Some governors wanted more power... things got out of hand and there were some brutal fights.

"I and a few others without Universes to govern stayed out of the fights... good thing too. Because when Universe XC150 was actually destroyed by the fighting, the first one to be eradicated in such aa way, the Peace Gods came to investigate. They suggested we shape up our act and gain a more structured rulebook, or the Peace Gods would literally wipe out each and every one of us "animals" they called us.

"I became king of all the Oracles from this, appointed by the leader of the Peace Gods, to make some more structured rules. But I had to be fair. We all talked about it, and we decided that Oracles would only be allowed to fiddle with the Physical Plane with rules of engagement. Those rules were, we decided, we must have destinies appointed over us by yours truly. If destinies were broken, punishment would be severe. But Yiusi and Tuxydon did it for a good cause, and in such a circumstance it's against my values not to be lenient.

"Blue, I like your idea, but I would like to ask you two, Yiusi and Tuxydon, first. Do you think that's fair?"

Yiusi stands up, over her anxiety. "It is true I have much to learn about mortal life... I'd be willing to give up my immortality for one lifetime."

Tuxydon speaks next. "I second it. Blue is very knowledgeable-- I know so by the way he fought while I lived in Schwa. I trust him."

"It is done," Kyr'Shei says. "Here are the rules; You will still have your Oracle abilities, but with limits, and you will be mortal. You will both be free to make all of your own decisions. When you die, you'll appear back here where you can tell me what you've learned. I won't be able to offer you anything during your time of mortality, other than advice through others, if you're lucky. Are you ready?"

They look to each-other, and nod. The King makes a circle-gesture with his right hand, and a ring of energy skims them from the top down, real quick. Nothing seems too different... "Hmm, I feel kinda the same, but... not the same," Tuxydon reports. "You say we still have our powers, eh? Why is that, King?"

"Red, Green, Blue, Dracoon, Origin, Star and Schwa all have powers, and they've learned a great deal more with them than without them," Kyr'Shei says.

"Star! Please step forward, I have something to offer you," he says next.

OOC: Whew... Thinking up stories on the spot is trickyyyyy. I owe you one, Dracoon.

OOC eh? What did I do? As for thinking up stories on the spot, I basically do that...

Star looks up but says nothing as he steps forward. Being told to shut up by his future self had humbled him and make him realise how foolish he had been acting. Even now Star had ever felt something as powerful as this entity and it didn't exist yet.

"Sorry for being rude, but what could you possibly offer me. If it is the same mortality than you are wasting your time. I can be fully mortal anytime I want, but I refuse to do so."

OOC: What you did was cause me to be creative. Whenever someone does that, it's a favor. Thinking hard is one of my all-time fav pastimes. I'm a bit of a computer nerd at that, so if you want the details... I mean, uh... Oh never mind...

"I know of your situation, Star, I just thought you'd like a new technique. Read this if you wish to learn it, and practice hard if you wish to master it." The Oracle King hands him a crimson-gold book taken from his robe, with strange symbols on both sides. "Keep this with you, even if you do not wish to learn the move, for one day you might change your mind.

"Red, Green, Blue! Approach me, I have a gift for each of you too." Kyr'Shei looks to the three agents, wondering what they'll do but pretty sure they'll come forward.

OOC: To Dracoon... Info about the new attack will be PM'd. Be patient, I'm still trying to figure out all the statistics of it.

OOC oh I see, my post gave you an idea.

"Eh... Thanks."

Star accepted the book and walked away from Kyr'Shei. He returns to where he was standing and notices Origin has true amusment in his eyes, no matter how odd that seemed. Star wanted to open the book, but he decided it was better to wait for a little while. Not being prepared for something possibly strong would be a bad idea after all.

OOC Ok whatever. If it is something I needed drastically I would have thought of it myself, unless I overlooked it ...

The three agents stepped forward, Blue in the front, followed by Green and Red, still more or less clutching each other in sheer terror.

Blue: "You two would do well to let go of each other: I think it is plainly obvious that we will not be harmed here."

Red: "You think so? You really think so? I sure as hell don't!"

Blue: "Argh... imbecile."

Blue turned toward Kyr'Shei.

Blue: "Do not mind him, he is, at times, a bit of a hothead."

"Indeed," Kyr'Shei remarks with a laugh. "For the three of you, I have an artifact. Share it, master it, become strong." The Oracle hands Blue a fist-sized, gold pyramid with the top point missing. It is a tiled treasure, but in a few places the gold tiles are replaced with jewel-colored tiles.

"Let's see... Dracoonx4, your turn. You don't have to take the gift I have for you if you don't want to, but I offer it to you just the same. Come forward, my boy!"

OOC: Again, details about the artifact will be PM'd to Grey... once I've figured it out this weekend...

"You act like I am young, and alive. Remember I don't really brethe."

Dracoonx4 steps forward, relaxed. He doesn't have to worry about a cruel punishment anymore, and never had to, but something still kept him off about the entire situation. It seemed like it should never of happened.

"Well," begins the Oracle, "considering that you like to do things your way most of the time, I have two gifts, and you can choose one." Kyr'Shei brings out two small, colored microchips; one is red and gold, the other is blue and lavender. "Which would you rather have, 10% fire and thunder resistance or 10% ice and psychic resistance? You'll have to install one yourself, of course, but since you can fix yourself pretty well I doubt that would be a problem. I'd put it in the right shoulder, though."

"When he's done, I would like to see Origin next, then finally Schwa."

"I am sorry, but I can't except either, they wouldn't be able to function with my... futer devvelopements..."

Dracoonx4 turned the gift down and walked back to where he was formerally standing. Origin walked up next, but he wasn't quite able to accept the gift either.
"Kyr'Shei, I am afriad there is really nothing you could offer me at this time. My abilities are still developing and I plan to go back to my tower for many years. When I reach my full strength maybe then I might be lacking something, but not right now. Maybe you'll understand when you are closer to mortals, if you ever become that way."

Origin turned around not knowing what the gift would be, but he started to slowly fade away while he was walking back to his "spot". As he got there he was completely gone and nothing was left, besides one of his two spears.

"I understand that it would be better that way," the Oracle replies. "Schwa, you are last. Approach!"

Schwa walks up and kneels. "In what way will you bless me?"

"A gift for you I call the Royal Ball. Take it!" Kyr'Shei takes out a gleaming crystal ball with a blue liquid inside. Schwa rises and takes it. "What is it? WHOA!!"

Suddenly the Royal Ball absorbs into his right hand! Schwa looks freaked, but the King calms him down. "It is okay, Schwa. The Royal Ball has become a part of you, as well as with the Living Assets in your body. You must learn how to call it back out without tiring yourself!

"I am returning you to the outside of the Grassland Ruins. If you ever need a little insight, come to the City again and speak with Yorra. As for the Deathshell Unity, it is finished. I have scattered the Buster Beetles all to other locations in the Universe, and each and every one will encounter a quest that will teach them the truth about what is true Good and Evil. That way, there will be violence only if there is a good reason. So long, friends."

There is a white light that engulfs the room, and soon, everyone is standing outside the Grassland Ruins. Schwa, tired out, sits on a rock to think. Yiusi soon sits next to him, and they start talking, but nobody notices because Tuxydon approaches Dracoonx4 and the three agents.

"Well, that was quite an adventure!" he says with a touch of sarcasm. "I'll be doing a lot of travelling in the next few years. Dracoon, what are your plans? I think you're a swell fighter, that's for sure, and I hope we'll fight again some other time when we can--" he says this part with some arrogance, "--prove who's stronger."

"Give me a year and I'll be ready. That power you saw a while ago was only temporary. In a little bit though, I should be even stronger."

Dracoonx4 smiles, but he turns to Star who seems to be in deep concentration. Star was trying to figure out how he could make all of this possible, but keep the timelines from messing up.

"How are we going to set this all straight Star?"

Star looks up, but his thoughts are still lost.

"There is no way I can do... I've been thinking, but every possibility leads to a destruction of someone or another... The time lines are going to begin to force together soon and I can't keep them apart... I can't sense my fu--"

Another Star, in heavier armor and with a cool tower shield, appears not that far away.

"Let me take care of that, you all might feel a slight jump, but it is nothing to worry about."

This new, cooler looking, Star, focuses and energy explodes from him. The amount of energy seems immeasurable, at least to everyone right now, and his slight jump had enough force to shake the ground, and everyone on it.

OOC I'm gonna wrap up a loose end on Origin's part of the story here.

"I see... My training is going faster than planned...Now, I just have to wait for the heroes to come and fight against me. Soon, I'll regain the power that I should have had since creation."

Origin was standing in the middle of his tower, but now he only had one spear and it was more spear-like than before. He was transparent it seemed, but he sat down and meditated and waited. All his power was building for the time he would be going through his greatest trial.

Yiusi looks up from her conversation with Schwa. "Two Stars... Hey, I saw it coming in the end." She gives a cute wink to Schwa and stands up. "The timeline is about to straighten up. Thank you."

At this, there is the energy explosion from Star.

When it clears, Yiusi is fine. She walks to the Agents.


"I'll be going now, but I'm sure you'll see me again... Care to say anything before I leave?"

Tuxydon is nowhere to be seen, unless you look far into the sunset horizon, where a lone figure walks off... Tuxydon begins his first travels ever.

"Schwa, and the others... you guys have changed my life. Sensae, whoever you are, thank you too. I can't wait to have my first fair-and-square battles, my first adventures in the wilderness... my first life among mortals. I owe it all to Schwa and Sensae. Thank you, thank you forever."

All this goes on in Tuxydon's mind as he heads for the first town in 7 miles, Grotto Leaf.

Blue: "Nothing, really. We save the lives of people and keep the balance of the world correct. It is all in the work of a day. It will be good to see you, when we do. Remember, you are always a friend to the White Light."

Red: "I guess Green's a little shaken, he won't say anything."

Green: "........."

The three agents made their exit, another day, another adventure. And a weird pyramid-y thing, too. Can't forget about the pyramid-y thing.

Blue: "No, we certainly can not. I shall have to figure out what this does. Consider it another adventure, one of the mind..."

"Then I must take me leave. I'll see all of you again, in a while..."

The future Star spoke and then left in the same way he came. Dracoonx4 and Star looked at each other, and then everyone else.

"I'll see you all at some later time, but for now I think I need to relax."

Star abrubtly left without waiting. His shield gleamed in the light as he teleported away from the ruins and some memroies that he shouldn't have. Dracoonx4 looked around one last time, but didn't say anything. He vanished in a ray of light and nothing was left of the very niave machine and the heavy hearted warrior.

Yiusi turns around, and notices that Schwa is gone. She thinks awhile, and says to herself, "I better get used to my new life. I'll head east. Thank you, Schwa..."

She turns and walks away. Nobody is left in front of the ruins now...

...or are there?

OOC: Oops! Sorry I missed so much. I was busy with other stuff. I can't think of a very good post to fit in but...

(before Tuxdon turns good)

APH is charging up for another spell to knock out Tuxydon's charge when he suddenly starts flashing white! "Oh no!" APH disappears right before Schwa releases his attack.

APH find himself outside the ruins now. "Great. This always happens! Whenever I think that I get the chemical makeup right, there is always a telepoting side effect! Nevertheless, I need to get back to everyone else!"

(Later on, when everything has been worked out and nobody remains...)

"Hey, where is everybody?" APH finds nothing in the place where the massive brawl had been going on. "*sigh* I miss another great adventure. I wonder what happened to my brother, and what became of Yisui and Tuxydon..." APH pulls out a small device and attaches it to a wall. "There. Now I can always moniter this place through my hologram camera." APH pulls out a vial and throws it on the ground. "A bright circle appears, which he steps into and vanishes."

THE END

Epilouge
On a computer monitor that Hunter is using to post, the words appear on his screen, "Congragulations, you have unlocked Yiusi and Tuxydon!"

Expect many more stories and battles from these ex-Oracles. In reality, the story is never over. Peace.
