The Gespenst came skidding to a halt as Eliza grasped desperately at its arm in obvious distress. Eyes full of concern were already gazing down at the scientist as she moved to forcibly redirect Ana's attention. Her expression visibly softened at the sight of the diminutive woman regaining her...

With every power reading she was getting from the beast peaking dangerously as its maw stretched wide, Ana did not need to be warned twice. The battlesuit at last was forced to turn its back to the Lemures as the colossal wave of energy erupted forth. Rocket thrusters ignited, Ana accelerating...

Reacting instinctively as the colossus ground suddenly to life, Anastasiya darted to the side, arms outstretched, to shield the defenseless Eliza - but the beast's immediate attention was not on the pair, it seemed. There was little the two could do but observe in awe as this strange Lemures...

Whatever climatic confrontation with the unknown Anastasiya had steeled herself for, this was decidedly not it. "That's..." The bulky form of the Gespenst settled to the ground aside Eliza, its weight sinking slightly into the crystalline sands. Those glittering grains seemed as though they...

For the first time since they had arrived in this strange world...Ana was thankful for the peace of it, the unnatural and absolute stillness that surrounded them. Nary a sound to be heard but their shared breathing, and with the soft warmth that was Eliza resting against her...even the strange...

It felt as though Anastasiya's heart nearly leapt from her chest as the diminutive voice appeared so close behind her; it was a small but thankful wonder she didn't jump. She listened in rapt silence as Eliza spoke, and while the tension that locked her in place eased somewhat upon being...

While having thankfully not literally done so, Ana practically knocked the door from its hinges as she swung it wide. Her eyes scanned the room, a practiced gaze that swept over every item in the meticulously maintained space until it came to - Oh. Oh. Anastasiya's thoughts came to an abrupt...

The scientist's abrupt departure left Ana blinking blankly at the empty doorway for a long moment, before lightly shaking her head with a gentle smile borne of both amusement and affection. One would be hard-pressed to argue that Eliza was a master of interacting with others - but she was...

Willpower, huh? That made enough sense. It had certainly been her will to protect Eliza, after all. The method by which the Sphere had chosen to do so - by whisking them off to this alternate version of their own reality - was entirely more questionable. If it truly was as uninhabited as it had...

It was readily apparent that the most menacing facet of the home's interior were the multitude of framed photos of Eliza herself - or, at least, the scientist seemed to think so by the way she ushered Ana forward with haste. She obliged, allowing herself to be hurried onward to the domicile's...

Anastasiya likewise focused on scanning their surroundings as the pair made their way into the city; unfamiliar with the territory, she was more focused on identifying any sort of potential threat. But regardless of their advance, none presented themselves. If one discounted the eerie light that...

Rolling unceremoniously over onto her hands and knees as the diminutive scientist stepped away, Anastasiya hoisted herself to her feet with a grunt. Based on the little aches and twinges that shot through her limbs upon doing so, she hadn't exactly hit the ground softly. And strange ground it...

Solution Somewhere in the inky void halfway to consciousness, Anastasiya's mind stirred lazily. Her half-sleep was disturbed by a distant, rhythmic throb that sent gentle waves bobbing through the darkness, each jolting her brain a little closer to waking as it passed. -na. Aaaana? Slowly...

She needs my help! But...how? There were scant few moments for Anastasiya to consider her next course of action. Her Gespenst rocketed silently through the bizarre and ever-changing landscape that lay outside their own reality, safe in its tiny bubble of stable space; while here time moved out...

"Haaa!" The blazing coat of dimensional energy that engulfed the Gespenst seemed to abruptly coalesce, thick streamers of the dark flame roiling up along its cocked left arm into a swirling mass. Ana swung across with a potent left hook as the orgone projectile zeroed in on her machine; there...

"Would you just..." Anastasiya's snarled words were underscored by the Amaterasu's charge as the far larger machine zeroed in on her even as she likewise closed on it, her opponent having both drawn a lethal-looking blade and handily sidestepped her shots in the course of doing so. It blinked...

Having reigned in his composure and stone-faced once more, Charles listened attentively as the Queen recounted a brief history of Gerard's involvement with the Sphere. He noted the way in which Her Majesty referenced the structure that was the ruined ZONE - not that it had been paramount to the...

The Grand Arbiter's brow creased almost imperceptibly at the sight of Selene's wound, eyes narrowing just a hair; not even he, as highly trained in concealing his emotions for the sake of diplomacy as anyone, could hide the renewed anger that surged up from deep in his chest. He was thankful...

The miniaturized Gespenst's collision with the virescent cloud resulted in a satisfying impact, the dense gathering of orgone particles erupting in a tremendous detonation as they were struck by Ana's long-range kick. The tiny suit twisted in mid-air to face the way it had come, the little gee...

Having moved swiftly inside, it was to Charles' relief that the interior of the structure appeared intact and held atmosphere. He moved aside to make way for James, releasing his own helmet with a soft hiss of equalizing pressure and hanging it at his hip. As before, his companion seemed to be...
