Alasea sat down on the ground. R.D., however, was back to watching the surrounding area for threats, his hand ever-ready to draw his weapon as he listened.

"The galaxy's been attacked by these strange monsters," Ristar began. "Everyone calls them Orbots. They're possessing people and making them act evil!"

"That's terrible," Helena said.

"Yeah!" Now the star child was getting excited, his voice rising higher and higher. "So I was sent here by the Star Goddess to help out! But there were a lot of Orbots, and I didn't really know how to get rid of them." He spread his arms. "So I went back to ask the Star Goddess but she was gone!"

"And Greedy told you that we had her," Hugo said. "Hell, he's probably the guy who took her in the first place!"

"Despite his name we can't jump to that conclusion," Matt said. "I say we go talk to him and see what's goin' on."

While he wholeheartedly agreed with what they had to do, there was just one question that was nagging at R.D.

"Hey Matt," he inquired, "Just how badly are we going to get our rears handed to us this time?"

ZetsumeiRyu: Yes... I regret what I've done, I wanna make things right... Man, out of the millions of times I've protected earth, I may be its downfall now... I don't know what to do... I'm lost and confused now...

"Hell if I know." Matt stood. "I'm more concerned about how to get where we need to go."

"You'll need a spaceship 'cause Greedy's palace is in the north galaxy," Ristar said. "A village around here probably has one."

R.D. raised an eyebrow.

"Spaceship?"

Matt's eyes narrowed. "Yeah, um...last time I checked, that's what spaceships are for."

Helena blinked. "What's a spaceship?"

"...ah, damn it." Matt scratched the back of his neck. "Well, beyond the sky is something called space. And space is crazy cause in that there's other planets. But we can't breath in space, right? Cause our heads, like, blow up. So spaceships are used to go into space without dying and stuff."

"Other planets?" Helena's face lit up. "Really?"

"Man, you've been out of action for a while, haven't you," Matt muttered as Helena stood up.

R.D. shrugged. Because of his amnesia, he couldn't tell what was strange and what was normal. Still.

Alasea looked over her shoulder at Matt. "Can't use a portal to get there?" she asked.

"No dice. That's something I know I can't do. And those portals I used when fighting Bruno were short-ranged, so those wouldn't work." Matt looked at Ristar. "Could you lead us to a nearby village, Ristar?"

"Sure!" Eagerly, he turned around, and pointed in a certain direction, past the strange fauna and flora. "There's one that-a-way!"

R.D. and Alasea followed the others, with R.D. keeping his hand hovering over his weapon.

"On a scale of one to ten," he inquired of the girl beside him, "how weird is this?"

"This? That'd be a twelve."

"Ah."

"Eh, I've seen weirder," Hugo muttered, shouldering his pickaxe. "You should've seen Matt first trying out his powers."

"I heard that."

"So, what do you like to do, Ristar?" Helena asked the star child.

"I like to find treasures!"

"That's great! Do you have any treasures with you?"

"No..." Ristar sulked for a moment. "But maybe I'll find one on the way to the village!"

Matt made a face to himself. He did not like to be around little kids that much.

"So, how long will it take for us to reach this village?" R.D. asked.

"Hmmm..." A smirk crept onto her face. "Tell me more about this Namonai, if you can. Is it possible to track and recruit him?"

"Jiot..." Meta said. "Doesn't 'Namonai' mean 'Unknown'? What's up with that? Are you sure they're not just the same person?" She asked.

(OOC: Zane, perhaps you should specify your kind of "reality-bending". That way, it might be so that Matt has a different kind of "reality-bending". )

"Perhaps the fact that their are only rumours of them of which I have heard, and because you say their powers are identical?" Meta said with a raised eyebrow. She sighed.

Meta let her breath escape as she rolled her eyes. "Sure thing, big man King, but I appreciate it if you could also come up with an idea where it would be a good place to start with our search. I do not like to run around like a headless Cucco."

"Alright, very well then." Meta said, patting the head of the cat she still held. "Ehhh, wait. YOU!!" She shouted at a demon that just came crawling out of Tartarus. "Yeah, you!" She shouted again when the demon looked up at her in shock. "When Gilgamesh returns, tell him I have gone to Tokyo with Shujou." She ordered the demon.
With a frightened look on it's face, the creature nodded it's head, before quickly trying to get away on it's little crawly feet.
Meta turned to Shujou again. "Well then, let's go." She said firmly.

Meta stumbled backwards as Shujou suddenly disappeared. "Why, you!" She uttered frustrated. She had thought they would be going together, immediately. "Fulyl!" She swore softly, and breathed out heavily. She decided she could wait a little longer for Gilgamesh. He seemed like quite a good evil guy, loyal enough to follow her anywhere, smart enough to not be ordered everything, and strong enough to take care of things himself. However, this was just how he seemed. Reality often proved to be different.

((Juno, did ya forget about me? lol))

Not too long after Shujou Sentou had left, Gilgamesh returned, with a large horse by his side. Meta's jaw lowered a bit as she gasped in awe at the sight of the horse. The horse was roughly 7 feet high by the shoulder of the front legs, and curiously enough, the horse did not have two, but four front legs. Indeed, the mighty stallion standing in front of her was eight-legged, and it had a deep, dark colour of a greyish brown. A pair of bright, fiery red-violet eyes were settled in the horse's head, staring straight into those of Meta's.
"I... how... what..." Meta uttered, bedazzled.
"Allow me to introduce to you," Gilgamesh said, "Sleipner, a horse fit to be ridden by a god, or to be a god himself."
"Sleipnir, you mean?" Meta asked as she slowly approached the horse.
"Aye, Sleipner." Gilgamesh repeated, a little confused.
Meta smiled. "A better horse I could not have wished for." She looked at Gilgamesh. "Thank you."
Gilgamesh gave her a slight bow, but Meta no longer paid any attention to him, instead climbing onto the horse's back in the meantime. "Well, Sleipner," She said to the horse, "I hope you don't mind me riding on your back for a while."
The horse stomped the rocky floor as if in a reply. Meta snickered. "Very well then." She turned her head to Gilgamesh. "If you haven't found a horse of your own, and are unable to go to Japan in an instand, I'll allow you for now to ride with me, if that's okay with Sleipner."
The stallion didn't seem to mind two people on his back, so Gilgamesh went and climbed onto Sleipner's back behind Meta.
"Alright, chumps! Onwards! To Tokyo, Japan!"
