Colt raised an eyebrow. He had a feeling that he didn't want to be in the library anymore. Since he woke up from his... well whatever it would be called when one comes too with amnesia... he had always pursued the questions pertaining to who he was. But after reading about the truth of his sword, he no longer wanted to. He feared what he was, what learning the truth would make him become. He was feeling as if he was losing all connection to humanity and becoming something far more sinister than anything they actually were forced to fight. How close he was to murdering the riftborne... it was as if he was playing in a world made of cardboard and he was losing control of himself. It scared him.

Adam's expression turned more serious as he heard this, glancing around the library for a moment before looking back at Eileen. "Okay," he nodded his head, his mind going back to what he had witnessed while in his dream after Kane's attack.

Eileen smirked a bit, turning back around. "We'll talk later. You're a little busy over here, as far as I can see," then, in the next instant she was gone.


Aya looked down at the diary once more after Eileen began walking away. The entries were giving her some insight. "Guys... guys, come here. Look at this."

She was pointing to a part in the text.

'[...] and I found the seal used to beckon them. It was a strange, intricate pattern; one could only relate it to the devil. As I neared, words began to whisper in my ear.'

"The seal used to beckon them... someone cross-reference that," she said.

"Ah I saw that somewhere," Marquess disappeared momentarily before coming back with another book, and showing Aya where he saw it.

Aya nodded to Marquess, handing the book over to Colt. "Search any the first records of information about a seal..."

Then, she went back to the diary. "Let me keep reading on it."

"Probably. We can't go off of conjecture, though," Aya said. "One of you take that book and start reading."

"It seems more similar to how summoning our beasts work. A pattern appears on our skin, so it's possible this is a pattern of a different kind that summons forth great power," Marquess suggested.

Colt pondered this as he thumbed through more texts. A seal that was intricate and could be linked to the devil... what could that mean? "Hmmm, I've never heard of a seal like that before." He thought out loud.

"I wouldn't know anything about seals. Null has too little knowledge of them," Aya continued sifting through the diary. The information within was only enough to give her a very vague idea. The seals... what Marquess said made sense.

"Wait... there's someone here that might know," she turned on her communicator. "Metz, come in. I need your help here for a second."

"...Eh? What is it?" Metzli responded managing to keep most of the irritability from her tone. Getting up, she started towards where the table was. Her expression could be somewhat described as frustrated, as she made her way to the table. Back at the index program, the article was still pulled up; it showed a mess of gibberish symbols and characters that didn't look anything like english.

Robin, who had been standing unnoticed at the back, stepped forward with a couple of books stacked up in her arms that had coloured tabs sticking out of them. She gently set them on the table still stacked up and said in a quiet voice,

"Here are some books with information regarding the void. I circled the relevant information on the pages the tabs are on but don't worry - they can be erased and I only marked them faintly."

With that, she stepped back into the shadows and leaned against the wall with her arms crossed. Her eyes constantly grew heavy and one could see her drifting off to sleep and fading at the same time.

Kane nodded his head in agreement with Ripred, a smirked on his face as he drank more from his glass. "Well that's perfect, it just so happens that there's going to be a ship arriving in a few days bringing more equiptment for them."

***

Nicol had been inspecting a Rift while on patrol, having been sent out by Nero after being taken off of patrolling duties for so long. However, it figures that on his first day of being back he would notice a girl being attack by a few monsters and then being saved by one of the members of Section IV. "I should go help out," he pointed out from afar as he noticed the monsters beginning to search around for the girl.

He quickly changed into his lightning form, using it to speed through the area without being detected by the monsters as he headed to the warehouse the girl was in. "You both okay?" he said towards Drew and the girl.

***

"Wow, you worked hard," Adam said in amazament, noticing that Robin had already stepped back. He smiled and walked over to her, quickly taking off his coat before laying it over her. "All these girls are such hardworkers, they need some rest," he laughed softly, remembering how Aya had worked herself to death before.

He grabbed one of the books that Robin had laid out, opening it up carefully and beginning to read through. "Um...I think Robin found something very interesting here."

"Listen... you... fate..." the voice would speak in Robin's head again.


Aya looked at Robin, worry evident on her face. "We'll need to talk to her later..."

Looking back down to the diary, she began reading again while pulling over another book to start reading over the text. "If you find something good, tell me."

***

When Metzli began walking toward the table, her surrounding would become a bit distorted. Underneath her, a number of sigils began to flash with energy.

That was enough to catch Milan's attention. "The alarm went off," he looks in the air. There was no sound, but he and Kara both seemed to be at attention. "Kara, who is it?"

Kara closed her eyes, before opening them again. "That girl. The silent one," she said to Milan. "She triggered the Taint Watch runes."

Milan let out a breathe. "I knew something was wrong with her. Let's go," the two of them started toward Metzli's position.

--

The girl looked up at Nicol, her face still obscured save for her wide, scared eyes. "Get away!" She pushed away from Drew and Nicol, turning to run around the corner.

--

Ripred raised an eyebrow. "Shipment? Of what, might I ask?"

"What are you planning to do to her?" Jasper stepped in Kara and Milan's way, a protective of Metzli stance.

-------

"So apparently it's possible to control someone via the veil. That's interesting," Marissa said walking up to the group, setting down a stack, while looking at the top one.

"Control someone? I wonder..." Marquess began musing to himself.

Nicol groaned a bit as he saw the girl suddenly run away, only for him to turn into lightnin and speed off so that he'd appear before her. "Listen, we're not going to hurt you," he reassured her, going back to normal and racing his hands in the air. "Who are you?"

***

Adam read the book for a moment before turning to Aya. "I think I found something," he said, raising his hand. "Here it talks about a legendary seal set in order to keep the four calamities bound. The seals is referred as the Enochian Sigil, a seal that if broken will unleash the Four Horsemen and signal the beginning of the end," he related as he read through. "So I was right in thinking these four Harbringers were a little to Biblical."

"Nothing, so long as she doesn't give us a reason to," Milan stepped forward. He had his hand on the spear, looking Jasper up and down. "So move."

Kara crossed her arms. "If you know what's good for you."

**

Aya looked at Marissa. "Control someone..." Then, when Adam spoke, her eyebrows furrowed. It was a parallel, but it made a lot of sense. "That makes sense... so this Enochian Sigil, or something like it, summons these Harbingers?"

She looked to Colt. "You talked to Alistair, according to Metz. Do you know anything about this?"

Metzli stumbled back, holding her head as if in agony.

"W-what..." She mumbled, shutting her eyes as she received a headsplitting headache.

"According to what it says here...yes," Adam nodded his hed, confirming Aya's question. "It also says that the person that is able to break that seal will gain control of the Harbringer's powers, which would explain how whoever has them in their command is able to actually get them to listen without being blown up," he chuckled slightly as he continued to read. "So I guess we're dealing with the end of the world here."

***

"Well you know, the usual," Kane pointed out casually, waving his hand around. "Weapons, supplies, droids for scouting or testing, extra parts for repairs," he listed before grinning. "And it seems they're also getting some mechs for themselves, that sounds like it could be an interesting acquisition."
