"Dorame of Hajiz Alma." Waking up to face a seven-foot, gray skin, three eyed being hovering over him The Maestro remained still planning his next step. "Sleeping on duty."
"I was merely resting, allowing the body regenerate and strengthen while my soul ascended and collected the data that I need." Replied Dorame.
"Now that I am here to assist you will not have to carry the burden on your own." Looking the Maestro in the eyes the bald head entity asked him. "During this trance are you aware of the Princesses whereabouts."
"Correct I have a talent which allows me to taste my surrounding through a variety of biological means. I may not be able to pinpoint her exact being but I know the general area of their location. They made pause for the night as well, yet they remain vigilant and in my state distance is wise."
"A strategist." Said the being with a nod of his oval head and a raise of his long cut and defined arms. "Interesting. Dorame of Hajiz Alma, I am Oneef of Shadow Throne, I have been appointed as your acquaintance on this mission so I will need to know all the information you have obtained so we can come up with a precise procedure to the capture of the Princess.

"What is this?" Gazing at the trees before them a slim long neck man, tilts his triangle head as if it was helping his process of thought. "Did the Voisarro create this black webbing and if that is true is it safe to say that this creature is some sort of arachnid."
"Either that or slime." Spoke a tall, freckled man, also spectating the area ahead of them.
"Oinz,"
Peering back at his companions and then at the branch residing in his palms a pot belly of a man shrugged his shoulders as if doing nothing wrong. "What I'm just testing the theory. If this is some form of arachnid or slime, then a mere poke should bring our prey our way."
"Have you ever heard not to poke at that you are unsure of?" Asked the nine-foot giant of a man.
"Yes but we were also taught to charge forward and shake off all that has no positive relation to us Gerof."
Sighing at the stubborn persistence of his associate Gerof shook his head. "Allow me to at least speak with the trees see what they whisper before we dive into danger."
Shrugging, Oinz replied, "Go ahead but it won't alter the outcome. That shadow beast will be captured or defeated and when we rise both women and luxury await us."
Bobbing his head at the comment Gerof eyes shut as he began to draw on the power within. Watching the spotted furry horns rise on the head of his compatriot Oinz kept quiet. "Nothing." Remarked Gerof with a flutter of eyes. "The trees do not speak as if the life was drawn from them."
"Whelp." Batting the palm of his hand with the giant branch Oinz smiled with anticipation time to rattle the hive." Poking the web, woop, it withdrew itself swifter than you could lift your zipper up.
"Prepare yourselves."
"I have been prepared Anel I…" turning his head to focus his eyes on a sandy skin child stroll out of the forest Gerof opened his mouth to speak but Oinz beat him to it.
"Say kid. Where you coming from?"
Pointing a sandy finger backwards the boy replied, "That way."
"Umhm and have you happened to come in contact with a shadow beast?"
"I have."
Waiting for further explanation Oinz asked, "Where is it now?"
"What…the Voisarro…I devoured it." Tapping his chin in thought the red head whispered out loud, "or did I absorb? That's a great question I mean technically it attempted to possess my body through insertion of my wounds but…"
"Do you think of me as mindless?" asked Oinz with a swift transition of state. Nonchalantly gazing at the trio unbothered by the rising event the boy done nothing but walk away.
Blowing flames from his nose at the disrespectful gesture with a stomp of his hoof Oinz shot across the stretch of land. "Devour this." Swinging a hammer fist the orc of a being eyes shot open wide at how easily the attack was evaded. "Ha" slinging two crescent blades of energy from his tusk a grunt escaped his mouth at the vanishing of JunBee.
"I prefer not to waste energy on conflict." Inhaling deeply, JunBee mind moved efficiently as always. "What solution can we come to so that you continue your pattern and I do the same."
"Prove the capture of the Voisarro, that's all we ask and then I will pardon your disrespect."
Sighing JunBee took another deep inhale calculating his next move. "How do I go about that?"
Studying JunBee Antel shook his head while taking slow steady steps until he stood between Oinz and their guest. "You do not own a cube?" he asked with a step into the conversation.
Unsure of what they meant by a cube JunBee hid a smile knowing that this was a chance for him to gain knowledge. Shaking his head with a confused look on his face the Rhukin made sure to keep sensory on Oinz and his companions. "How could a cube prove the capture of the Voisarro?"
Laughing the trio took a minute or two to take in the obvious. "You are unaware of the use and properties of a cube yet claim capture of the Voisarro…a shadow beast."
"Would you believe that I am only nearing a cycle within your view of the world?" Asked JunBee.
"Less than twenty-eight Maya's." Laughing Antel shook his head and smacked his face. "If you are unaware then allow me to inform you. Cubes such as the one that I am wearing around my neck."
Rotating his head an eyebrow rose on the face of JunBee. "That is a cross."
"Correct this is what a cube resembles when unfolded. At this moment it could be used to attach energetic cords, cast spells, and siphon the energy of our foe or the wearer if they lack the knowledge. When activated it becomes a cube made for capturing the souls of both third and forth density beings."
Nodding his heads JunBee wanted to learn more but knew it was best to remain on the pertaining subject. "Is it possible for you to use a cube to recognize a fourth density being?"
Laughing Antel shook his head, once again assessing the situation for what he saw it was as his brothers apparently done the same from the looks in their eyes. "If by some form of way you could warp your dna structure to that of a shadow beast." Oinz remarked before busting out in laughter.
"That's reality."
"Correct all cubes have sensors that analyze the being before ensnaring it in their time matrix." Replied Antel.
"In that matter…" Stepping toward the trio JunBee raised his right hand. "I have a few theories flowing through my mind." Shrugging his shoulder the Rhukin thought, "What is there to lose?" Raising his right hand and gazing at it his attention went towards the trio. "Explain to me the process of the cube."

"We have finally made it." Throwing his arms out Abbott said, "Speak to the Land of Myrm."
"Ummm Pealim" swishing his eyes from side to side Samson took a glance at the sleeping princess. "Do not wake Sarai for you spoke of warriors, giant buildings, and quintessence…but all I see is sand."
"Samson." Peering down at his Abhah, The Omega eyes expressed nothing but love. "What you see may not always be that what there is. When it comes to moments there could be a variety of ways to perceive it but at that moment what you choose to see becomes matter."
"Pealim."
"Yes Samson."
"Do you know how I feel at the moment?"
Gazing at his Abhah with intrigue Abbott replied, "Tell me."
"Empty." Pouting Samson fell to the cliff edge. "My stomach doesn't like the look of it."
Bursting out in rolling laughter The Omega eyes sparked to life. "I ask you Samson do you not see the life in these lands. Soon you will have a different view."

"I know she is here." Squeezing through the throng of people JunBee wondered to himself, "What is the occasion." But pushed it to the side. Breathing in slowly and controlling his breath the Rhukin blocked out the singing, dancing, and roars of both laughter and conversation. "I can locate her presence; I have been able to ever since we devoured those Mastax…there."
Holding on to the location the Rhukin slid through the crowd like an unnoticed draft stopping only when he found who he was looking for. "Nutri."
"JunBee." Sliding backwards in her seat Nutri popped out of then strode around the long rectangular table. "I sense your mission was a success."
"It was and I was able to pick up some new information."
"And what might that be." Placing a finger up to stop her companion, Nutri told him, "Wait, lets speak in a location more silent."
"Acquirer, you wish to leave already."
Turning to gaze at the red headed, sparkly dressed Ardat Till known as Pusa, Nutri eyes then swerved over the body of the hunky man that the Cambion wrapped herself around. "I must converse with my associate gain status on his health and being."
"Oh hey." Turning his head to peer at the long, curvy, yet slender woman JunBee stood there. "How was your mission? Did you defeat the Voisarro?"
"He is the Voisarro." Spoke Oinz before JunBee could speak.
Cackling with laughter an old frail man walked popped up on the scene as if some computer operator just dropped him on the scene. "This being here is not that of the Voisarro he contains to much love and light that it radiates off him. In reality, he wished not to even speak on matters if I'm correct. More like leave without any recognition. Am I right?" Nodding his head the old man comprehended. "You have hostility with a being for staking claim on it before your opportunity was presented." Bobbing his head once again a laugh escaped. "JunBee is it…tell me would you wish to entertain them. It will give you a chance to test your theories."
Staring at the old man studying, reading his energy JunBee eyes gave a subtle glow at the sincerity of his words. "I was told when granted an opportunity you leap and reach out for it." Smirking with a swift glance at the trio the Rhukin nodded his head. "I will use this moment to test my abilities and strength."
Returning a smile of satisfaction the old man attention set on the trio. "Do ya'll wish to accept his challenge?"
Stepping up to the plate with confidence, Oinz took a swig out of his cup. "I will show you what a true Ugulite is capable of. Brother's do you wish to join."
"If its truth that he was capable of defeating the Voisarro then testing my strength against his would allow me to evaluate my abilities." Pulling his sleeves up and setting his cup to the side Gerof took two or three srides and found himself next to the mediator in seconds, "Antel do you wish to join."
"I'd rather not but we are brothers." Raising his cup and guzzling it he took a step forth. "And you two are nothing without me."
"Well then it is settled, Young Lady do you wish to join?"
Taking a swift glance at JunBee, Nutir's eyes slid to the trio and back to the old man. "I will have to decline for my comrade has more than enough strength to defeat these three in battle."
"If that is the case, lets get his show on the road. Oinz, Gerof, Antel are you ready." Nodding their heads the trio cracked a smile as the old man head slid in the direction their opponent. "Are you prepared as well." Rotating and stretching his arms and neck the Rhukin only bobbed his head as if he were listening to some form of music. "Good. You are familiar with my talent are you not." Nodding his head once again JunBee focus slid to his breath, opponents, and event coming up.
Smiling widely the old man arms flung in the air in celebration. "Fantastic." turning to the audience which stood still mugs in hand in suspense he took a great big inhale. "For those who know prepare yourselves and for those who don't you are about to undergo a transversal experience."
Manifesting a goblet in his hands the mediator raised it to the dusty lights. Joining him the rest of the bar members took long deep swigs of their alcohol before throwing there cups up again in a cheer, "Angany Sparsa."
"Interesting." Thought Nutri, "he is using their energy to construct the…" woomp the scenery changed before she could finish her thought.
Woosh, feeling and hearing the breeze sweep pass him JunBee eyes swept over the brown and green sea of grass surrounding them. Digging his foot in the almost sandy soil, the Rhukin head bobbed in the wind as he took another deep calming inhale taking in the scent of trees and streams somewhere in the background.
"This savannah will be your battleground…" said the old man in the minds of the combatants. "…and the rules are simple; the fight begins after the fading of the seven lights and once your health reach a certain point you will be ejected out of the illusion and set in spectators' mode. Other than that, fight with all your heart."
Watching his competitors nod their head JunBee eyes shot up at the changing of the horizon from violet to indigo then blue before fading into a bright green which only brighten up more as it transitioned from green to yellow then orange before finally hitting red signaling the start of the battle.
Woomp, dashing forth on go wind underneath his feet Antel took leading strike spanning hundreds of yards in a blink while Gerof winded his arms like a baseball player slinging multiple punches in the air until his arms gain the elasticity and pressure needed for his attack.
Bounding backwards then to the side, weaving two blows JunBee could feel the explosion of wind on the second before a dome of wind captured him in its grasp. Lifting him up the sphere hurled blades of wind with every swirl before releasing its prey to a barrage of torpedo-like strikes that hurled him across the land.
Transitioning into his Ungalite form Oinz burst from his position on the chase like a dog after a frisbee before finally launching off the ground with an earth breaking step that sent a large chunk of earth hurling in the air. Morphing the slab into a giant hammer the Evol snatched it out of the air.
Seeing his next attacker shadow cast over him as he flew backwards JunBee eyes began to glow orange as his imagination began to fire up and downloads of moves began to flow throw his mind like water.
"It's over with." Thought Oinz as he gripped his twenty-foot hammer with all his might and bringing it down on his enemy.
"He created a ball of slime to reflect the attack and save himself." Someone thought in amusement.
Bouncing off the ground like a ball, the sphere unraveled in a blink of an eye allowing JunBee to sling a tentacle out like a fishing line and capturing his foe within its sticky grasp. "He's open." Spinning around at the entrance of Antel in his field the Rhukin slung his catch at him.
Doop, lodging iron sharp fingers in the earth Gerof made sure that he had a good grasp before flinging himself forth like a rock out of a sling. Dodging the missile launching blow the Rhukin spun around to launch a counterattack but the Ungalite body yanked around throwing continuos rotating kicks like a break dancer spinning on his back.
Going over and under the first two JunBee found himself being drove upwards in the hundreds of feet into the air by a kick to the gut then hurling diagonally through the air as a fourth kick sent him spiraling out of control. "I'm not accustomed to this rate of movement." Thought JunBee. "I have been allowing my Rhubette forms to take control, but I must learn to use them myself." Spotting Antel skating along the ground hooved feet hidden within the wheels of wind that he wore like rollerblades. Closing his eyes memories of all those devoured flooded through his mind.
Zooming across the earth close to the speed of sound Antel burst into the air the moment he found himself within range of his target. "Comanche's…" wrapping an orb of electricity around his fist the Ungalite focused his energy into his pointing finger and middle finger forming a condense ball of energy.
Body tingling with all forms of sensations JunBee kept his eyes close for the very presence of his opponent being set spark to every cell in his body sending him the information needed to fight his foe. Teleporting into the trees below the Rhukin made a decision and that was to win.
"He's finally taking this seriously." Thought the old man as he watched the orange g-force spew out of JunBee and wrap itself around him.
"Brothers let's show our foe the power of an Ungalite." Unleashing his G-force Oinz gained an iron body.
"We should have raised the stakes." Antel remarked as he morphed into his Ungalite form as well. Lifting his tusked snout and unicorn head into the skies both protrusions gleamed with radiance under the reddish gleam of Saturn.
"We could've got the reward for the Voisarro." Shrugging his shoulders scales fell down Gerof body as his body became more draconic. Stomping hooved foot in the earth and blowing smoke out of his now deer like nose the Ungalite giraffe horns became antlers surging with electricity.
Standing on his branch JunBee could feel the trio's every movement vibrating through the quill armor he now wore. Taking in a great stream of oxygen with a deep inhale the Rhukin's lion of a chest expanded, huffed and puffed as if trying to break free of its armor while his rat like tail whipped left and right striking the air like lightning. Continuing to control his breath as it slid in and out of his baboon nose the awareness of raptor claws digging in the tree's wooden limbs ran up every nerve.
Gritting his teeth at the intimidating presence leaking from is opponent, Oinz dug his iron hooves in the earth calming and grounding himself as his focus went on both the battle ahead of him and his companions.
Haaawwwaaaaaaak! Unleashing a blood curdling howl that swept over the savannah in waves JunBee slowly lowered his gaze to reveal the downward triangle shape of his pupils and the dot in the middle focusing in on target.
"Where? What…I can't move." Trembling from the howls waves hitting his nervous system, Gerof eyes widened and almost bulged out of their socket. "He's already here."
Turning his legs to spring like structures JunBee dropped to the earth, condensing, tightening his muscles before springing upwards at his foe with a handful of wild lightning.
"I won't make it in time." Charging towards the Rhukin at highspeed Antel couldn't do anything but watch his comrade lift off the ground and into the heavens.
Jerking around at the detection of multiple projectiles flying his way after his massive uppercut JunBee slung both arms threw the air sending fury swipes at the unseen objects.
"Impossible." Thought Antel as he collided with a spiky black shield that reflected his turbine punch and launched him backwards. "Gerof." Placing his hands together at mid-flip and throwing up a couple signs the earth bubbled and boiled before two magma arms came spewing out of the ground capturing the Rhukin.
Flipping himself over with multiple kicks into the air Gerof rotated until his entire body was aimed at the Rhukin like a giant bullet waiting for release. Tawoosh releasing flames from his scales like jet engines the Ungalite fell from the heavens like an atomic bomb.
Tossing his head back and slinging it around an eruption of an elephant trunk shot from the Rhukins' snout smashing and bashing through the hot broiling arms and hands until nothing but molten hot rubble lay around him like a prayer circle that kept him afloat above the chaos. Hummmm, inhaling so deep that his trunk released a hum JunBee body began to inflate to the size of a house.
Eyes bucking out at the blimp of expanding like a churning black sea of slime boosh Gerof fell into its inky depths.
