Celebration Chapter Seven (Alternate Timeline) - Zietriss

Andi and Quatz both regarded me warily, the same way a soldier would regard a bomb that had yet to explode. The cracks on Quatz's head were flaring violently, as if they had gone into overdrive and Andi's eyes glowed with a harsher light than before. With the way they were glaring at me I felt I had done something wrong, even though all I had done was completed their recruitment challenge. 

"So ah, was that the whole recruitment thing then?" I asked, my strength starting to return to me a little more. Quatz nodded, still neither of them said a word. "Seriously guys, what's wrong? Did you think I would just fall over and die or something? Takes more than a few holograms to take down Craig Lyre!" I joked, even though that was exactly what I had expected to happen. 

"You're not possible," Quatz breathed, finally finding his voice. "Nothing can output that much Essence and then go back to having nothing again. Generating Essence is impossible."
