"Have you heard the nameless are going to visit here"
"appearntly they are here to escort us, their exploration has finally Ended"
2 workers were bickering between each other as a 2 other people passed between them
The first one was a handsome young man with glowing crimson red hair.
"Diamond didn't even give us a chance to rest, he likes to suck your life out of you"
The red haired Man said.
A conflicted expression appeared on the other guy,
The other one was a man with a black raven hair that had white sliver colour at there ends
"... Why the hell did you phrase it like that, you could have just said he likes to make you work harder"
The other guy said
"poteto potato-" "the saying goes tometo tomato"
"you get what i mean, considering we found a new form of energy going through the cosmos that could be profitable then the IPC won't sit for long"
"you still can say that! You see my hair? It probably becomes white because the amount of shit you cause and i have to deal with the aftermath"
While they were walking and talking they stopped in front of the door, the first man slowly rose his hand up holding an ID card
A Clanke- a robotic voice was heard
"Wellcome, one of the stone hearts, Topaz."
AN:this is not Topaz like the playable character, anyone holding the Topaz stone will hold the code name Topaz
They entered a huge station with gigantic galactic trains everywhere resting on the side.
The train in question was the star rail, the one the Aeon of Trailblazing rides to travel from planet to another.
It was also the place they will be guests in.
They kept walking till the door opened with
A man waiting for them.
"Why hello there, If my guess is right you are Tiernan the bodyguard of the star rail, it's my honour to meet a figure like you, i always heard about your righteous and heroic deeds"
Topaz said in a friendly tone.
He had heard about the extraordinary members of the Astral Express so building a good relationship with the members isn't an opportunity he could pass on.
That was the first reason, while the second reason… he was actually a big fan of the trailblazers.
"A pleasure meeting you too. You must be Issac, the holder of the Topaz stone. I heard about your contribution to the IPC. Your name is quite famous for being one of diamond's most trusted subordinates…"
Out of all money suckers that the IPC had, Tiernan heard that Topaz held on the will of Preservation like a code of honour.
He was said to join the IPC not out of desire for strength, but out of loyalty for the Amber lord.
"Ah you jest, I never came close to any of the stone hearts in the amount of contribution and servitude for the Amber lord"
Humble as he looked outside he was actually very very happy with the praise he received, he quite admired the Astral express after all.
"this is my assistant Hans Smith"
The other man Bowed gracefully towards Tiernan
"It's an Honor to meet a hero of the Trailblaze, I always heard about your reputation Mister Tiernan"
"nice to meet you too Hans, let's walk quickly, The conductor is excited for new passengers to be on the train"
With that said both entered with the sight of a man sleeping on the couch.
Veins appeared around Tiernan's neck as he walked towards the man.
"Bob… you need to wake the FUCK up, We have guests"
"five more hours mom, i just need to see the end of this dream"
A blush of embarrassment appeared on Tiernan's face as he slowly walked towards the drinks fridge, he brought a cup of water with him.
'oh Amber lord… Is He going to do-'
Under Topaz's gaze he threw the cup of water at Bob, effectively waking him up…but that was just a part of what happened.
"WAA, WHAT THE FUCK WHY DID YOU THRO-slap"
Tiernan quickly slapped Bob before he could speak.
And he took that personally.
"oh you finally woke up, now stop embarrassing yourself in front of the gue-"
Tiernan was punched in the face, getting launched to the other side of the train.
"this mother fucker"
The fight started happening again between both Tiernan and Bob.
"hey you, you must be the guests that came in here"
A cute small voice was heard behind both Topaz and Hans.
They both turned, to see a rabbit-like creature pointing at them.
"I am the conductor of the Astral express, you may call me Pom Pom"
Hans looked shocked at what he saw while Topaz started smiling and his eyes were glowing with excitement.
"you should know that if you don't go with the rules i could tell Akivili to punis-WAHHH WHY ARE YOU CRUSHING POM POM"
Topaz was 'Crushing' pom pom by hugging them.
"Hans, can we take this little thing with us when we return?"
"sadly no, mister-miss- ughh… Pom pom is actually the conductor of this ship. I have heard about them in the past. Most of the people thought that they were the pet of the Great Akivili."
Hans had heard gathered information about most people in the Star rail, after all they were people who he will spend a lot of time with
"WHAT!? They thought I was that reckless Aeon's pet!? It will be more likely that they are my pet!"
Pom pom felt an unreasonable amount of rage, how could they be the pet of that trash loving person?
"Oh really? Akivili is your pet?"
"Yes in fact, They always goes around looking in the trash of different planets and causing trouble for the nameless"
"Really? It must be hard to look out for such a reckless person"
The sound was familiar for Pom pom but he didn't realise it.
"I knew you would understand! Akivili always causes problems for me, i don't know what THEY would do without me"
After getting his ego up he turned towards the Guest that was holding him, only to find him sweating while having a terrified expression.
Hans looked like he would pass out from fear.
"hoo? Does Akivili cause all of that?
It must be hard to take care of such pet"
The voice wasn't from the guest like he thought… It was from the aeon of Trailblazing who was standing near them.
A gray Haired handsome young androgynous human wearing a captain hat(not a Pirate type) with a glowing golden eyes, They wore a white shirt with a black coat not full worn
(img)
"oh? Why did you stop? I think you stopped at Akivili causing problems"
"ahhh… ammm-pom pom was talking about how great of a leader you are!…"
Topaz quickly tried to cover for Pom pom but that didn't work.
He couldn't let this little creature die!
That went against his whole code you know?
"Oh? Is that so? But I am quite sure I heard the entire conversation..."
The Aeon of Trailblazing was no fool…
"ahhhh… Well-Well you see, Lord Akivili, Pom Pom were praising your heroic Soul and the spirit of Trailblazing! Yes! Your way of looking in thoes… Trash can is showing how you're a true Trailblazer who explore the unknown!"
Hans looked at Topaz with a glare
'This guy is a fool! There is no way that will work, that's an Aeon for Amber lord's sake'
A sudden genuine smile appeared on Akivili's face
"OHHHH that explains it! So Pom Pom were praising me? That's sweat of them"
"..."
… Okay maybe he was a bit of a fool
Pom Pom suddenly took the opportunity and tried to get an excuse to run away
"Yes! I-I was talking about how great you are, anyways i need to go real quickly to-uhhh- to clean Crystal's room"
With that said the little Bunny like creature disappeared
With that said Akivili left with a pleasant smile on there face.
"Oh are you the IPC workers we were expecting?"
A new gentle voice was heard by Hans and Topaz as they turned around to see a tall figure.
He was a handsome young man with cyan hair wearing a Blue formal dress.
(img)
"A pleasure to be meeting you, I am Mikhail, the mechanic of the Astral express, although many of my friends call me Misha"
'Ah… Finally a normal person'
Hans was relieved that they finally met a person without a questionable… habits, it made him feel that this place would be more endurable to stay in.
"the pleasure is all mine, I am Topaz and this is my dearest assistant Hans-"
He was cut off by seeing Tiernan getting thrown at Mikhail by none other than Bob.
… A bit of sanity was lost from both Hans and Topaz.
Topaz turned towards him with a tear falling from his eyes, they both knew how the journey with the express was going to be… Quite the scary one
"Hans, this is going to be hell."
"let's just hope Diamond raises our salary after this mission"
...….
Meanwhile with Gabriel.
Looking at the 2 giant figures who were both glancing at him with interest.
'you know we can talk this out'
He was afraid of the beings going after him
Just won his battle against 'it'-was soon to be 'him'.
But suddenly the Ice giant like figure were shattered into billions of small near atomic shards, some which entered Gabriel's body without him realizing.
They also fell upon a certain Blue machine floating in space
'or you can just leave… Not that I have any problems with that.'
The only figure left was the giant leviathan.
One which Gabriel had a more favorable yet also negative perspective about.
On one hand the being blessed me with their powers making me stronger.
On the other hand he did the same to that clanker and that almost made him die.
A sudden feeling of being pulled engulfed his body as he heard weird whispers around him.
"join the voracity "
"converge into one being"
"fully completed with all the world"
"loving everything and anything yet still wishing for the best of… Meals'"
"EVERYTHING FOR THE VORACITY OF OUROBOROS"
He was pulled towards the being faster, as if a black hole was pulling a star.
But the process was interfered with.
The million crystals that entered his body started glowing brightly.
"AHHHHH"
Gabriel woke up to find himself in a sea of red flowers.
In front of him was a figure with his back turned on him.
Someone who he knew well.
A brother that he thought he lost a long time ago…
"... Sanguinius?"
