Creator

"Sciat? That name..." Crystet thought for a second, trying to remember who Sciat was, and then it hit him. The man in the suit who had fought him on the bridge. The one that caused him to use a strange ability. He was the one that had made him possessed with a spirit of ice. THAT Sciat. "Wait...on the bridge...that was you?!" Crystet realised in confusion as Sciat smiled at him. "Yup. That was me. The one who you killed that day, back again from the grave." Sciat replied, having a little fun with this.

"Alright, I know that I came back from the dead, and so did Aaron, but you? I honestly didn't think you'd come back to life. It's almost unbelievable, but that's why I say 'almost'. After all, if it was unbelievable and untrue, you wouldn't be here, would you?" Crystet responded, causing Aaron to chuckle. "It's like you two are old friends, yet the last time you saw each other, you were at each other's throats. Literally." Aaron commented, watching as Crystet and Sciat both looked at him in confusion. "Aaron, you're one to talk to." They both rebuked in unison, smiling.

"Still, I'm surprised you went for a kamikaze attack to try and kill me. It was smart but also incredibly stupid. I may not have been the one in control, but I can now remember everything that happened when I was possessed. It didn't work, unfortunately for you." Crystet explained, looking back through his memories. "Yeah, unfortunately not. However, if it did, Aaron probably wouldn't be here right now. Life's like a board game, isn't it?" Sciat contemplated, causing Crystet to into a state of deep thinking. "True. After all, we both know how fickle the future can be. However, it's best to not dwell on that and simply live in the present for now. After all, we're getting new abilities with an item Aaron created, so maybe it'll help us find something fun." Crystet reminded him as Aaron snapped his fingers, teleporting them to the base.

"We might as well do it here, in our base. I have no idea what's gonna happen, so I'll just see what happens to you guys first before taking one myself. You're the official test subjects for the new skills!" Aaron announced, a coin appearing in front of everyone there. "Once you take that token out from the air, the effects will be immediate. At least, they should be. Maybe. I honestly have no idea. Let's just see what happens, alright? We need to make sure that it won't, you know, kill the people who win the tournament." Aaron explained, the others looking at him in shock. This man really did not know what the fuck he was doing. "Honestly, what the hell am I hesitating? It's not like it's going to kill me instantly." Sciat said to nobody in particular, grabbing the token with his right hand.

The token dissolved into thin air, the area they were standing in immediately shattering to reveal the surrounding area. It was nothing more than blank space. A shine of light covered Sciat as if a spotlight was shining directly over his head. Aaron watched as a figure dressed in plain white robes floated down. Their features were indistinguishable, and Aaron was curious to see what they looked like underneath the robe, but he decided to let Sciat have his moment. The white-robed figure stopped when it was at eye level with Sciat, as a somewhat clawed hand reached out and put its finger on his head, holding it there for around ten seconds as a golden glow came from its fingers.

The space-like illusion that surrounded them lit a dull yellow, as the creature in white robes bestowed Sciat with his new ability. "Now, wielder of an Ultimate, you may view your skill, but only once you leave this area." The creature in the white robes explained, directing his head towards the other people present. "It appears that others here also possess a token bestowed by the creator. I will exchange those tokens for abilities, so I do not have to be called here again." The robed creature explained as it floated towards Crystet, making the token in front of him disappear. It then tapped Crystet on the head, only taking half a second, a red aura coming from the light emitted. "Wow. You were blessed with something special, demon. You may not be a god, but you certainly rival them. However, you do not rival the creator. I do not know his appearance myself, but I can sense that he's within this group." The white-robed individual explained, floating over towards Aaron.

"Well then, I guess it's my turn, isn't...it...?" Aaron began, slowing his speech down as the white-robed monster lifted its hand, pointing its clawed index finger at Aaron. "You...you...you're him! I was right! You're my creator! The sole reason I exist! How do you do, creator? Are you feeling well on this day?" The white-robed creature continually asked Aaron, who simply put his hand up, causing it to be quiet. "Listen, you can talk to me about abilities and stuff once you get everyone present done, ok? I'll happily chat with you about any given subject once we get these abilities rolled out." Aaron explained, and you could almost feel the pleasant aura emanate from the creature.

It floated over to Seph and None, humming a happy melody, and, this time, it used the index fingers of both hands to give an ability to both. None lit the area with black light, while Seph made it shine with a white glow. "Contrasting abilities for a pair of conjoined monsters. Absolutely perfect, the way it worked out." The creature said to itself before walking over to Free, who still had control over the body. "Well, aren't you unique? Two minds, one body. How interesting." The creature commented before using one index finger to give her a shining light. "This is your Ultimate. Keep it safe, and use it when you think it is necessary. Do not use it on accident unless it's appropriately timed." The creature warned Free, who held onto the ball as if it were her most prized possession.

"Now, it's time for my creator. Don't worry, I've got a unique skill for you. Two, in fact. Creator's bonus, you could call it." It ominously explained, tapping Aaron on the head with one index finger, releasing one grey light from his head, and another black one. "You all have unique abilities. Now, you all may view them by stepping outside of the illusion. Jump backwards to achieve this. I need to talk to my creator for a bit." The creature explained before revealing Aaron's skills to him.
