| Shen: "Are you sure?"
Shen started to walk towards Zin, an Anima Orb forming in her hand. Shen: "Can you really copy a soul correctly? Do you even know what a soul is?" The Anima Orb slowly got bigger and bigger as Shen stopped ten feet from Zin. Shen wanted to see what would happen with Zin's copy, to see if he could duplicate the power of an unknown beings work. |

| "No. But... it is probably safe to say that there's not a single living being who knows what a soul truly is. That's why I'm a PSI Scientist-- I study Spiritual Physics and the like to get a better grasp on those mysteries."
Zin brandishes his now fully recharged whip, and charges it secretly with a special combination of Shen's soul molecules and Ether molecules. He spins it a few times, then suddenly lashes out at the Anima Orb, attempting to crack it once. This maneuver will not destroy it, nor will it short out the Whip this time, but the energy Zin charged his Whip with will become embedded in the Orb for Zin to then prove his full point to Shen. "Nobody can exactly copy souls with magic OR Psi. You need the power of the Divine to do that, and that's if they're willing to lend you that power. I'm not interested in engineering souls-- mostly just that which will aid my Psi Warrior bretheren, which is what I'm about to show you." OOC: Congratulations on getting your new layout to work.

| Shen didn't bother to say anything and to describe what was going through her mind, you'd have to see through her eyes. Her eyes didn't work, she was effectively blind. She had no clue what anyone looked like, what color the sky was, or what color skin was. She saw souls, nothing else. The only way she could see an attack was if it came close to her. She didn't even know that Zin had used his energy whip again until he put the copy molecule inside of it. Then she saw a small link of chains form the whip. She saw Zin's soul move out like people did with their arms and stopped the whip as soon as it entered the area around her.
Shen: "Are you familiar with Origin?" Shen took a step forward and the anima orb in her hand moved towards Zin, but as it moved foward, the soul in the whip desperately tried to move away from it, like two magnets of the same charge. |

| "Not so fast! Zin's Big Bang!" (echo effects)
And the emulation of her Tech is complete! Before the non-native energy manages to be expelled from the Anima Orb, upon usage of Zin's Big Bang, the Orb explodes in Shen's direction, in a nearly inevitable method of enveloping her much like Shen's origional Tech had done to Zin. The only difference here is that the damage, while not necessarily the force, would be absolutely incredible if it hit for it's full amount, and would likely ground Shen, the target, after (at least lightly) throwing her. On a side note, the Tech was re-engineered to do the extra damage. It is nothing that Shen could've avoided, short of not giving Zin the window to Appraisal her Big Bang attack. "Let me think... Origin? I've met HIM, but I don't believe he's ever met ME. I saw him flying over our expedition troop once, in the direction of our destination... We ran into a sticky situation at the destination, then something he passively did impacted that situation for the better, and we made it out alive thanks to him. I have the deepest respect for Origin. Why do you ask?" Zin makes another attempt at mind-reading, JUST to get her name, and the feeling should be almost, if not completely, unnoticable. The real question is whether or not Shen's distorted aura is still passively up. |

| Shen didn't seem bothered as a duplication of her own attack started to come closer. When it was within two feet of her it ran into a rather large resistance. A thin almost sheet like amount of her soul became visible as the attack slowly entered into the field around her. As if crushed by something the attack was shrunk down to practically the size of the tip of a needle. The backlash of energy pushed Shen back and cut into her skin. The most important thing it damaged though, was her hat. The sides of it had been ripped apart and when she let go of it, it flew into the sky. Her eyes were completely blue.
Shen: "I see you have a lot to learn then..." Shen's eyes started to shine brighter and the area that her sould touched was tinted blue. Shen: "Tell me, are you willing to 'copy' the increased state of enlightenment I've entered?" |

| "Wait, what now?"
Zin stares into her eyes, almost hypnotized, but he quickly snaps out of it and focuses. This battle was beginning to be a battle of the mind and soul, rather than a battle of power and harm. Zin often tried not to drag others into these kinds of fights unless it was a mission, but when OTHERS drag HIM into these situations, some distant how, it always left him with a feeling of uncertainty... "I can sense that this is not a trap... rather merely a very, very twisted, important descision I have to make. Blast it all." There's another pause in his speaking. "You..." He managed to get her name. "Shen! Your name is Shen. You... are... unbelievably gifted in spiritual wisdom and lore. I admire you for that. I'll take your challenge, on the condition that I get time to prepare... and may Sensae damn my soul if I even think about tricking you, I promise." OOC: Dracoon, YOU... I knew you'd do this! You're forcing me to admit that I CAN'T be rusty for these next replies! GOD, you're one clever bastard!  |

| Shen didn't say anything, but just stood there. Her exp Yeah, Zin had pleanty of time. OoC:  I do things on impulse, I have nothing planned out. Things that happen are either my subconcious manipulating what I'm saying or just completely random.  I thought I told you that before. |

| OOC: Ha, I'm the same way. The passage writes itself, basically, with me.
"No reply? I'll assume you're giving me your permission." Sensae prepares, doing so in the one way he knows how. "Sensae, please... Grant me the courage, wisdom and power To surivive this journey of mind, heart and soul And learn what you've destined me to From this private expedition between us two children of infinity." He then stares back at the two blue orbs that are Shen's eyes, closes his own eye, sighs, and... OOC: Next turn comes the Appraisal. ^.^ |

| Shen's human side thoughts: "If he does this, he's going to hurt himself. I can't let him do it, he might kill himself! It takes years of practice to even approach this level."
Shen's soul's thoughts: "We did it in one day." Shen's human side thoughts: "He's a Psi Warrior! He has to forsake the attributes he holds so precious if he wants even a chance!" Shen's soul's thoughts: "He might hit enlightenment, but it will be a one sided one. His teacher won't allow him to prograss to our level. No one can advance to our level and after we fall from our stand here, it will remain empty until we are needed again." Shen's human side thoughts: "Fall? How can we fall!?" Shen's souls' thoughts: "You. You will cause us to fall, but it will be all right. We will still be the same." Shen wasn't uneasy for a second. She remained confident that Zin could (and simultaniously couldn't) reach the first stage of enlightenment. |

| OOC: This is gonna be HELLA hard to write...
"Appraisal." (echo effects) Zin's blind eye disappears into the void known as the Spiritual Plane as it begins taking in Shen's Enlightenment Data... WHOOOOOOOSH!! "ZIN!" "That voice... Who, what are you!?" The voice Zin heard sounded female, but in reality it wasn't... It was beyond gender. It was... "You." "Me!? ...Shen, this was a trap!?" Suddenly, the darkness surrounding Zin explodes with the purest ruby-colored light anyone could think to imagine existed, let alone Zin. The light is Zin. "Wha--! What is... the meaning of this?" "Zin, don't you see? It's me! ...YOU! Relax and talk to yourself for a while." "But how? ...You fail to make any sense! You cannot possibly exist within the boundaries of material reason!" "That is a good first step. Can you figure the rest out?" "Oh, a mind game. ...SENSAE, HELP!" "I AM Sensae, you foolish whelp." Zin gasps. That was Sensae's voice this time. Then it says, "You would do well to remember the focus of your mission." Zin gasps again. "That... is EXACTLY what Sensae said to me once. Both lines, as a matter of fact!" The female voice speaks again. "Yes. Do you want to know who else I am?" - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - On the outside, Zin is kneeling and trembling in front of Shen. He can only take 2 more turns of this wracking meditation before he is automatically snapped out... and Shen may even be fully aware of what's going on within Zin's mind, heart and soul. It depends, really. |

| Shen saw a flicker in Zin. That's all she saw though, just a flicker.
Shen: "First contact with the voice of the soul. Going slow..." Shen sat on her knees right in front of Zin, her sightless eyes looking right into his. He shouldn't be aware of the world around him though. Even if he can speak with his soul, Shen already knew that he couldn't connect with the world in it's entirety. He would probably end up at a half stage, enlightened, but limited. If he were to sense Origin's or especially Star's soul, he might run in fear of the backlash that they caused just by thinking. Shen remembered the feeling, she had been a lot younger though. Shen: "...don't over stress yourself, it could take days to center yourself even with your teachers help." |

| Zin continues to stand in the ruby void.
"So, if you're me, AND you're Sensae... Blast, I can't figure this out in only a few seconds. Who else?" Instantly about a BILLION other voices pick up. Zin holds his head in agony, but like a miracle he can take about half of them in-- and recognize them. They're all Psi Warriors! To make things even more sensory-rich, the forms of the voices he recognizes begin to fade in, in a transparent state, all around him. The ghost Psi Warriors are all talking playfully to each-other, and behind them all, watching them, is a gel-version of Sensae that's a shiny red, like the color of the void Zin is in. Zin tries to make sense of it all. ...And you claim that... you're... ALL these people... and... me too?" The female voice drowns the others out. "I do. And Zin... What would that make me?" "...I suppose... it would mean you're the essence that flows through all the Psi Warriors... meaning that would make you..." He gasps as it dawns on him. It can't be! "Are you well, Zin?" "The color Red... But... are you really... the actual Living Asset... Virtue?" Zin finds himself crying at this nirvana. Has he truly met the Assets face to face, the dream of all Psi Warriors striven for to be made reality? - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - One turn of meditation remains, and Zin continues to stay in his current position, unmoving save his occasional quivering... Far away, though... "Sensae, what's so funny?" "Ah... I just had a very warm feeling in my heart, that's all. My child, I have much to say to you, but you cannot hear it all yet... I must tell that to my other children. Would you help me by casually spreading that info?" "Anything for you, teacher and friend." |

| Shen reached out and hugged Zin, yet somehow seemed distant from him, her soul expanded and sheltered him for a few seconds so he could put all his attention on what was in his mind now.
Shen's human side: "This is the second time... but it is different." Shen's soul: "His soul will follow the three key ideas of the Psi Warrior, in that way he will be much different forever. In a few seconds though, he might not be able to go through this again and then we will end this." Shen was forming a Diminsional Anima Bomb above her, she would give Zin a chance, but it wouldn't be an easy one. |

| "So you're really Virtue. I am... beyond honored. Truly... Truly I am."
"Thank you, Zin. I cannot let you stay in this intense meditation for too much longer, but before I spring you out, think for me-- What was it that brought you here to me?" Zin pauses, then his visage lights up. "Shen... I used an Appraisal on her enlightened state... So that means... Shen is much more than she appears to be! She must be... She must have achieved true, complete harmony with body and soul. That's amazing." "It's more amazing than you think, Zin. Do you know of anyone else with that kind of bond?" "Well, there's-- SENSAE!! There's Sensae! And he's technically you and the other Assets... Shen! Oh Lord, to effortlessly achieve what Sensae has after an infinity of prayer and meditation..." "You will meet many people in life, Zin... Everyone's different. In this universe, many of them have a special power, sometimes dormant, sometimes not. Yours is wisdom, and somebody else's may be enlightenment. You have to be open enough to have true empathy in this world." The void suddenly becomes pitch black again, and the voices and forms dissolve. Zin has a split-second panic. "Virtue, wait! ...What do I do with the wisdom I've obtained from this conversation?" "Easy! Use it the same way you use all your wisdom, Zin." "For the good of my Psi Warrior bretheren... Thank you. I'll never forget. It is the destiny you and the other Assets have appointed over me." - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Zin snaps awake, in Shen's arms, panting wildly. "I did it! If only for a short time, I did it! And Shen..." He stands up, with a little difficulty, and it's a while before the quivering will stop but he's still able to stand. "You... You have this bond naturally? Please, tell me the truth or I will be deeply engrieved." Inside, Zin feels as light as a feather... and he mentally clutches brand new data, never before revealed to even the Psi Warriors. Far away, a certain eons-old man codenamed Sensae smiles, both happy and sad for Zin, knowing that the truth is sometimes very life-impacting and, in rarer cases, even relentlessly. OOC: Whew... I did it. I hope it was any good. |

| Shen: "This bonding..."
Shen didn't really know how to answer the question. It had seemed like another life time. Shen: "..." Shen couldn't explain her past to Zin, she could only show him. The Diminsional Anima Bomb dispearsed and the soul energy around her seemed to changed so it wouldn't lock her mind from the outside world... ...and oddly enough, Shen's mind didn't put up any natural resistance. She remembered what it had been like, being taught from an early age of the balance of the universe. She had never done any real work in her life, it had all been easy to her, easy to endure, easy to accept. She relied on others to help her as she helped them, but she made little to no contact. Her mind had been isolated from people, they never asked her anything about herself and she never asked them. She had found the balance of the body by pure luck. She had no obsticles, nothing challenged her, so it was peace. Spiritually balance was usually the hardest for anyone, but as she left her safe haven after reaching balance of the body, it came easily. She saw the people suffer and helped them, she saved people from famine with new seeds of better plants, she saved children with loving care. Then one day, when she was leaving a village, she noticed everyone's smile, a bliss in the town. It's where she knew that humans were the miracles themselves. She had reached her own spiritual balance just by living to help others in simple ways. She felt the connectivity of the world, the actual loving care that spirituality gave for the world to use. She had hardly taken one step when her soul stretched across the world and saw everything. It was a bad time for her to see all of this as many strong souls had been born. A soul that endured an absolute nightmare every day, a soul of undeniable courage, a soul of loathing pity, a soul of an ancient, and finally the soul of Origin. None of them seemed to notice her and she never knew who they were, but as her felt landed, her soul had come back to her with news about the world. She felt the unity inside of her and it naturally developed as she helped people, becoming stronger, into what she is now today. Shen felt like it had been a life time since she was just a normal person and she knew this was the truth, because it could happen to anyone. |

| Zin's mental telepathy picks it all up for him, but luckily not all at once. After his deep meditation, that would've definitely been too much for his mind to handle. But in time, he learns all that Shen has to tell him.
"...I understand, I think. If what you say is the truth, which I know by now that it has to be..." Zin takes his energy whip, and tucks it into an invisible pocket on his right hip, removing the weapon from existance. "...then I see no reason to continue this senseless fighting with you. Like many, many others before me, you helped me in a serious, deep way on this day." Zin holds his right arm up, and as ruby ether bursts over it, there is a flash of bright red light for a brief moment in the appearance of a beautiful starburst. "You truly have introduced me to myself. ...My crowd is gone, I'm done with my speech, so now I should return to Crystal Psipalace as I should have quite a while ago... before the Assets placed on me an acceptable detour..." He walks past her, summoning a Psi Disc for himself in the process. Before he goes, he turns around. "And, of course, in Sensae's eyes you're always welcome to stop by. We're in the sky. I have the faith that you could easily reach us." He prepares to fly away, but Shen still has time to act before he's gone, should she have any last words or actions for him. |

| Shen: "Goodbye..."
Shen waited until Zin left and walked over to the remains of her hat. She picked it up and the straw began to form together. She put the hat on her head and walked off calmly, the same half smile, half smirk, that she always had on her face. |
