83.) The Task I Have for You.

Annihilo Sect, a fortress and group that helps the likes of Death and Life keep balance within the infinite omniverse. They were first created after the disbanding of the original group known as STRIFE. They've interchanged many members through the passing eons while fighting alongside the current Grand Council. But this is the very first time within their long existence that they face a true threat. For they must combat those that seek to use the Keys for their true intended purposes.

Zenki gathered everyone to the base in order to fill them in on everything that was going on. There were tales of many odd happenings through every clan in Colossaverse 1. Causing much distraught throughout the entire verse. They currently speak on the grand possibility that that all so powerful Keys may just be a primary goal in all this. Even worse, an end goal of the sorts.

Zenki: "Yes, I said exactly what you know you all heard. The Keys may be the very thing that this organization is after. Phoenofia is one of the few places out there that's known to have a Key, right?"

Chinlee: "Right, right. What does that prove?"

Zenki: "The invaders went past EVERY known treasure we have within Gahwardia including the Legendary Study that's close by the Phoenix Empire. You'd have to fly past it flying from the north. Which is what they did."

Zigorim: "Yeah and they even went as far as to awaken an opponent that would kill them as well in order to do this unnoticed. I'm pretty convinced seeing that, that is the case."

Chinlee: "Mhm… well thus doesn't spell good news for any of us!"

Everyone begins to chatter now that it's been deduced what their target could truly be. It gave off the sense of a small panic. You could literally cut through the tension in the room.

Zenki: "I must politely ask that you all remain calm and quiet. This news DOES NOT change our duties as Annihilo Sect. It just adds to them. Their forces are probably teaming with many heavy hitters. Best to say only the weaker ones have been causing trouble besides that of Jollister."

Neezah: "So you're saying we could possibly be at a huge disadvantage strength wise? Seeing as we know nothing of their numbers."

Blumen: "That's bad considering some of us are already at heavy disadvantages in our own home situations."

Ariealis: "Mhm…"

Hideaki: "I could chime in as one who has fought their forces recently."

Joshushu: "Hmm?"

Ariealis: "Oh really?"

Neezah: "Please do, Hideaki."

Zenki: "Mhm… proceed forward, son."

Everyone gives Hideaki their full attention. Ebon stands right beside him to back up his info and claims as he tells of the warriors they've encountered thus far.

Hideaki: "Right. *Nod* I recently assisted Prince Curti in a battle against not only Slith and Jabreeze…"

Amir: "Tch!"

ZeeArc & ZeeShift: (Jabreeze!)

Hideaki: "But we also recently ran into a powerful Beast Clansman that some of you may know. It was their Chief's second son, Uriyah Bach!"

Zenki: "Uriyah too!?"

Ebon: "Yeah. The bastard's concept usage and control has grown largely. He's approaching Annihilo Sect's Famous 4."

Chinlee: "Woah!"

Zigorim: *Long Whistle* "Now that's something."

Hideaki: "Indeed, his newly made Beast Form is monstrous as well. He was able to steal and join with the Spatial Domain study that was in Embodi-Mozan. But he wasn't the only one. From what I heard from Haydes. Nekros' avatar was present as well. I had no idea I was fighting when we squared off."

Joshushu: "Nekros, eh?"

Ariealis: "Mrrhm!"

Hideaki: "Both of these individuals have gone above the rating of 30. Jollister is beyond a 40 and even Slith and Jabreeze managed to leap up 4 points on the scale in little to no time. If that's their bottom dollar… We are horribly outmatched right now."

Everyone grew frustrated with this new found news on some members from this organization. It was a reality check that the easy going jobs that were being done were all but gone. A true looming threat had walked straight to their doorstep and their own families and comrades were in on it.

Zenki: "If that's the case…most of our homes have been infiltrated. Which brings me to the true reason I brought you all here. We three of the Famous 4 have picked up on five strange signals that bleeped into our fair Colossaverse. Their signatures are foreign and unidentifiable. Literally almost like they don't have any signatures at all. Not essence to lock onto but their presence is immense. I'm hoping their humanoid and can be used for training so that we all may grow in stature. That and eliminating them if they're a threat!"

ZeeArc: "Alright… I'm guessing we're getting split into five units tasked with going to retrieve them?"

Chinlee: "Yes… that's going to be the case today. With the benefit of stopping our new found enemies from getting them first. Plus a chance ti meet more of these same said new enemies. They are an eliminate on sight kind of threat. Capture ONLY if your advantage is that great."

Zigorim: "With that being said. I think it's high time we assign these teams and get this show on the road."

Everyone: "Proceed!"

Zigorim: "Alright then. Once I call you names you'll head over to Chinlee. She'll give you the location of your target and you can leave once you have it. Please take proper preparations for these missions. There's no telling just how crazy this can all get or what you can run into."

Everyone: "Right!"

Zigorim: "First team, Neezah and Blumen! Step forward please!"

Neezah and Blumen walk over to Chinlee where they receive a briefing with coordinates on it. They pointed towards Gaia-Minéttia(Kingdom of Life Clan) within their dense forest region. Teeming with many wild beasts and an abundance of Organic-Organism essence.

Neezah: "We should bring a few items with us and take our swords. That place is dangerous."

Blumen: "Let's make it quick then."

Both: "Thank you, we'll be going now."

Zigorim: "Mhm. *Nod* Next we have ZeeArc and ZeeShift. I'd rather give the word of warning now."

ZeeArc: "Hm?"

Zenki: "I'll tell 'em. Your subject seems to have fallen just outside of Warterror Falls. An odd anomaly of worlds coming together and having a huge build of cosmic dust and fallen meteorite material. It caused a literal mountain system with a Jupiter sized waterfall at its center. Found at the edge of Gahwardia. Demetrius will be assisting you as a favor to me. Warterrors are too dangerous to take the chance on."

ZeeShift: "You wouldn't see me taking any chances with them. My dad told me a mere alpha gave MorZick a run for his money. And the apex supposedly visits there every now and then. We're in danger even with Demetrius being with us."

ZeeArc: "Best we bring our father's weapons with us then. Hopefully he'll transfer his power if we end up in danger."

Zenki: "I'm sure he will. Please be safe."

Both: "We will! Thank you Chinlee."

Chinlee: "Be well."

Zigorim: "Alright then, next we have Ariealis and Joshushu. Your location will be within the barren lands found near the capital of Evolutionairus(Evolution Clan). The Emperor will allow you in, so go crazy."

Ariealis: "Aha! That's going to be great for us then. Let's head out Joshushu, bring your bag too. I packed some things. We'll be off you guys."

Chinlee: "Ta~taa! See you soon Arie, Joshu!"

Zigorim: "Amir and Aiyama… your mission will take place in the Southern part of quadrant I. This subject landed in a dense elemental field. It can be found on the eastern side of Mightopia(Might Clan). So long as you don't breach their actual territory, you should be fine."

Amir: "Got it. Let's get going then Aiyama."

Aiyama: "Yes, Ma'am. Looking forward to working with you."

Amir: "Likewise."

Everyone makes their exit after receiving their briefings on where to go and locate these five subjects. With their being only one left that was saved for Hideaki, Ebon and Kishin. It would seem to be a special case.

Zigorim: "As for you three. This one is a bit of a big one which is why I've gotta say. You're in luck my friends, if you play your cards right… a powerful celestial will be coming to your aid. Why? Because your subject flew straight through their layered world and into the celestial pit where they store their excess essence shavings."

Zenki: "I'll be personally flying you there using my Vehicle Blade technique. It should get you to the edge of their world within thirty minutes. Now then… TRANSFORM…" *Fwip*

Hideaki: "It went straight through the ceiling. Come on guys, it should be at the front gates shortly. And we've got everything we'll need stashed within the vehicle. Necro-Ship pops?"

Zenki: "Necro-Ship!! Indeed son. Good luck to you all, and call upon us if the situation calls for it!"

Ebon: "Will do! See you all real soon!" *FWIP*

Zenki and the others waved as their subordinates went forward to retrieve or destroy these five strange things that have entered our fair Colossaverse. Their biggest hope was to use them as ways to train the lesser fighters amongst the group and get them all up to speed. A fear they had… was that this could be an omen of doom to soon be revealed in the near, and/or distant future. With that being said, the first ones to arrive at their location were ZeeArc and ZeeShift as theirs was the closest. They were to meet with Demetrius at the Senkozen Keep in order to start their mission.

"Seems the guards knew of our coming arrival." ZeeShift says as they fly straight through the front gates of Gahwardia. They meet with a guard who specializes in speed. He creates a stream of essence for them to attach themselves to it. They hop on and he carries them to the capital with great haste. They arrive within literally two minutes and give the guard their gratitude.

ZeeArc: "Let's go ahead and race to the Keep."

ZeeShift: "Let's leap forward and start this already. Warterrors are no laughing matter and man are they territorial." *Fwip*

ZeeArc: "Hm hmm… you scared?" *FWIP*

They both fly at top speed as they b-line it straight for the Senkozen Keep. They arrive within seconds as it is located at the center of the Capital. At its front gates stood Demetrius in his Gahwardian fur-coat. He had on Japanese-lunar style greaves and gauntlets. That all spewed white fur from where his limbs were inserted and had moons on the knees and elbows. His royal scarf covered his chest plate which was draped over a shirt of beast hide.

ZeeArc: "That's quite the look, old timer."

ZeeShift: "By using Mental Zenchi I can tell everything you have on was stitched with an abundance of Essence Commands."

Demetrius: "You two talk of me but your Annihilo uniforms and robes are heavily enchanted by three of the Famous 4. The well tailored dress suits that match your individual essence color. Then the destroyer's greaves and gauntlets are very… *MWAH* y'know."

They all shake hands and immediately get on their way towards Warterror Falls. Demetrius set them up on his stream and flew at top speeds to get there. Their estimated lapse for travel amd arrival time was… one singular minute.

Demetrius: "After a bit of essence and strength training, as well as working on and creating new techniques. MorZick and I managed to raise our scale levels to 45."

ZeeArc: "Woah… this should go smoothly then."

ZeeShift: "Indeed!"

Demetrius: "We'll see soon enough. Since we're here and all."

ZeeShift: "Well I'll be…"

ZeeArc: "Damn…"

Demetrius: "Yes boys, yes boys. Welcome to the awe-inspiring anomaly, Warterror Falls. You can just feel the numerous levels of wild beasts that live here. Awesome fact, there are five kinds of base warterror excluding the Beta, Alpha and Apex class. But… there are more than five-thousand species of beast here. Each having a population that rivals the Warterrors. Hard to believe but it's a very prosperous system with more than five active alphas there. About… thirty betas and its plentiful enough that even the Apex visits occasionally. He shouldn't be here today, which is why Lord Zenki arranged for this to happen today."

ZeeShift: "Makes sense…"

ZeeArc: "I say, let's get this thing on a roll and go find that subject!"

Demetrius: "Yeah, yeah."

They flew along the outer perimeter of the falls until they made it to the massive moon. It had a huge crater within it which is where their target landed. But unknowingly… Within the distance behind their person. There was a huge amount of essence teeming from an odd beast. Its silhouette matched that of a dog-like creature that could stand on its hind legs. A threat that lurks on their person.

The race has begun to get their hands on or to destroy these great subjects that have entered the verse. But shadows lurk in the dark as they start arriving at their coordinates. Annihilo Sect races to raise their strength as Haydes' search for the Keys continue…
