The beast wasted no time, either - just as the girl predicted, it tried to send a swipe at her. Sayloren was quick to turn on her heel, jumping back as the swipe went toward the two of them.

--

On the document, Nicol and Robin would find a large amount of information containing the Emissaries. However, a few lines seemed to be highlighted in text.

"They possess complete sapience."
"Their understanding of cosmic mechanics exceeds our own by a very wide margin."
"Their origins directly link to the Void."
"-hypothesized that they can live into perpetuity."
"-they can be linked to a Riftwalker."

--

The researcher nodded at Splinter's explanation. "Yes, these creatures are here for the sake of studying. It is well-known that they are a threat to society at large. We want to know what makes them tick, so as to see if we can counter them entirely should they... well, escape their confines, so to speak."

--

Wake nodded to Genesis, looking to Dawn. "Come on, Dawny. Let's go find them," the boy said, walking through the back entrance of the labs. They would be able to catch them off guard if they did so. "Gen, we're gonna go hunting in there. You want us to save you anyone special?"

"No, thanks. I, unfortunately, need to take care of some other things first." Genesis replied, walking off into one of the labs.

The girl smiled a little, jumping to the side as the attack missed by mere inches - she then swung her scythe down, trying to cleave off an arm entirely.

"That she is." Colt chuckled. "That she is..." He smiled in the professor's direction. "I'd show you, but I don't think you have an area of the facility that could hold these things without going under."

The scientist smiled a bit, taking that as a challenge. "I wouldn't be so sure. Follow me," he said, pointing to a stairway.

Aya looked to the scientist as he walked off, then back to Colt. Leaning up, she kissed him on the cheek. "I just wanted to do that," she said, walking after the man.

--

The beast was quick to retaliate, knocking her blade up to keep it from going for its arm. Sayloren had come from the side, sending her blade at the creature fast enough to cause a laceration on its side. This brought it closer to the ghost girl, allowing her to get a clean shot of its back.

The spirit jumped back, narrowly avoiding being skewered by the creature. Dashing around back, she kept her eyes closed and attempted to slash down once more.

"So Quake, what'll you do if you find that kid from the last time?" Dawn asked as she followed her brother, excited over finally getting to stretch her muscles a bit. "The one you fought before."

***

"They really are like gods...sort of," Nicol pointed out, looking at the info being displayed in regards to the Emmisaries with curiosity.

The slash was enough to deal some damage to the creature, causing it to roar out in anguish. Sayloren jumped forward, driving her blade into the beast's stomach. Although injured, it sent a swipe down at the girl that was promptly dodged. The Riftwalker did a graceful backflip in the air, sending a number of kicks at the creature's face.

As the monster reeled back, Sayloren landed, running forward to drive the blade deeper. It elicited another roar of pain, and left the beast distracted enough for another slash from the ghost girl.

--

"Easy. I'll mount his head on the barrel my gun and shoot his teammates in the face. It'll be fun times," Wake replied to his younger sister.

--

"A way to do so would require power and technology currently far ahead of our time," the scientist said to Adam. "I don't think, in my lifetime, I'll ever see something as magnificent as that."

"Damn," Adam groaned before letting out a sigh. "Is there anything else about the Void that...hasn't been quite revealed yet?"

***

"Ooooh, I like that idea," Dawn smirked. "I hope we get to have a lot of heads today."

Colt grinned, chuckling as he followed Aya and the scientist.

"We will," Wake looked around the empty parts of the labs, nodding. "You wanna choose the nexus?"

--

"Yes, many things. It's origins, its contents, its properties... they're all mysteries to us," the scientist said to Adam.

--

When the two Riftwalkers got downstairs, the scientist turned on the lights to reveal a different section of the lab; a combat training room.

"This is our weapon's testing facility. All of our new equipment are tested heavily down here," he said. "When we try out firearms, we use the gun range. If we're going to test the force of your bullets, we'll be using our redirection slabs."

He typed on the computer, letting up ten slabs. "Try it," he said.

Aya looked to Colt. "You're up, cowboy."

Jumping up, she drove the scythe against its throat - the immense momentum, with luck, would decapitate the creature. If not, she could slice the jugular open.

Indeed, the beast's head was lopped from its body, rolling to the ground. Both it and the body disappeared, its essence splitting into the two girls to be absorbed. Sayloren felt stronger from it; as if a bit of that creature's strength was now her own.

Opening and closing her fist, Sayloren smiled a bit. "That's more like it."

"Well it seems like it's been around for as long as we have by first glance," Adam pointed out in thought.

"Depends," Dawn answered, tapping her chin carefully. "How big should it be?"

The girl sighed softly, presumably out of relief. Taking a deep breath, she got back to her feet and glanced towards Sayloren with a slight smile. "Well.. My name's Blair Corvus. Looking to get out of this hell and find the Nascire girl.. May I ask, who might you be?"

Colt nodded, drawing one of his trademark revolvers. Smiling, he took aim. The single round whizzed through all ten of the slabs, completely obliterating them in a puff of flame.

"Sayloren Tatum..." she narrowed her eyes a bit when the girl stated that she mentioned the name Nascire. "What do you know about a Nascire?"

--

"Oh my," the man said. "Okay. Stage four durability, active." At that moment, more slabs appeared. They had a different color to them.

Aya could feel the vibrations coming from the slabs, looking at Colt. "These things are really tough."

Colt nodded, he felt it too. "Yeah, I can feel the energy coming from those things..." He paused for a moment, considering what might happen. The last thing he wanted was one of his bullets going rogue and tearing the facility to shreds. Holstering the pistol in his right hand, he pulled out the one on his left holster, drawing his sword with his right. "In case I have to stop the bullet." He explained to the scientist before firing a single shot once again.

Blair gave a frown. "I.. I don't know. I don't really have any memories - just a scar and that name. It started with an A, I think, but.. It's all a blank slate, after that.."

"Yeah, they are." Robin replied, taking in the information.

After reading the last one, Robin noticeably gulped - did that mean Raphael and herself were linked? And if so, had their link been severed? Robin feared the obvious answer but she didn't understand - how did it happen?

Clearing her throat, Robin took out her phone from her pocket and took a picture of the highlighted information, hoping she hadn't broken any rules in the process. "For research purposes..." She muttered to herself, before clearing her throat and turning to Nicol.

"Wow, they're amazing, emissaries. I have so many questions about this, the info highlighted." She stated, before looking to the ground, embarrassed. "Hey Nicol, you don't happen to know what 'salience' means, do you?" Definitions wasn't Robin's strong point.

Nicol still wondered exactlyw hat Robin's interest regarding the emissaries were, but had chosen to just ignore it again, sighing slightly. "As I understand it is some that's noticeable or important to others."
