As Therri told them about how it was going to get hellish, Iviri looked with a confused look. He was still not used to Origin's weather, after all, so he had no idea what they might be in for.
"Wait, why, what is it? Isn't this just a nor...mal....oh..."
As Iviri began to speak, he noticed it was already starting to rain, and it was rapidly getting heavy. They were pretty much getting drenched. But that was not all. A moment ago, Iviri looked and it did not look like a full case of stormclouds. Now however, it was rapidly approaching what had to be the largest storm he had ever seen. Therri, who was a local, might even furrow his brows at such a large storm.
"You know what? I think I will come with you. Also...Shield! Double!"
Iviri might not be used to Origin's weather, but he wasn't an idiot. He decided to go with Therri after seeing how large the storm got so quickly. Also, because his clothes were already getting soaked to the point of being annoying, he decided to use his Shield power...as an umbrella. It seemed silly, but he would rather not have his clothes take forever to dry.
"Whatever it is, it formed faster then any storm I ever saw before..."
Of course, Iviri had not seen many storms form in general, but there was no need to bring that up.
After hearing the sound of a bird he had never heard before, Ollie turned and looked at the source of the chirp. He thought it was such a lovely chirp too, that he then noticed something glorious. A large bird next to a woman, a species he did not recall either. Did that mean it was rare? Unique? A mutation? Maybe foreign, not from Origin? The boy had to know, so he approached the two, his birds following behind him.
"Hey hey, what type of bird is this? I dont think I have seen it before....its wingspan, chirp, and its energy...wait, those colors....could it be an Arturian Jacket? No no, colors are different, its brighter. Then maybe...a Syrian Singer? No no, their chirps are longer, and contain multiple notes. Ahhhh! How wonderful!"
The boy did a spin with his energetic overload, and then looked at the woman.
"Oh, is this bird yours? Do you know what it is...wait, that blindfold? Are you blind? Who are you? Then maybe...oh, I get it! You enjoy the bird's music too right? I also love to listen to the songs of birds. I especially like the Tarson Tailer's morning song, but there is also the Lurian's Lullaby. Oh, oh! And lets not forget the Ascarin Hummer! Ah, right! My name is Ollie, founder of the Bird Watcher's and Lover's Club at Astrius Academy! Who are you? And more importantly, what is that bird?"
As the Student Security Squad moved in, the teacher in the back was just observing. He was not really a part of the security force, but grew concerned with all the movement and decided to see what was going on with the rest of his class in tow. Of course, if something were to happen many teachers were quite combat capable so there was that too. But this was to help train the students response times and deal with real life situations.
"Uwaaah....you guys are overreacting!"
"Uhh, sorry Second Prince Acara...but, you know...we detected the opening of an interdimensional space time rift through the galactic variance barrier and a huge surge of energy coming through the event horizon that flowed into this lab. We also detected decontamination protocols kick in".
"Oh, it looks like they got the spray...that's good, the other version is really embarrassing..."
"Quiet Lt. Anyways, uhhh....right. Sorry about this, but we do need to get them registered with immigration you know?"
"That was what I was about to go do! And then take them on a tour around the city".
There were a few girls in the force that looked upon the two of them with jealousy.
"...lucky..."
Some things like that were mumbled. Well, Acara was a prince. There were a number of people who paid attention to him, and furthermore he was actually quite popular as it was known he was quite considerate, kind, and highly intelligent. As such, along with being a prince, he was popular especially with the girls. Though, Atrix was more so, and his older brother Zakar also had quite the fan club. Actually, there was an official fan club for the princes this generation.
Acara looked down at Spike, and used some sort of magic that would help float her up so they could easily take her to immigration.
"I think she will be fine. Well, I have healing magic also, but she seems strong. If something does go wrong, I will just overkill it with a massive large scale healing magic meant to restore someone to their prime from a state of near death".
The security force just twitched a little when they heard that.
"That...didn't you just say that we overreacted? Well, whatever! We will protect you until you get there!"
Akio was the first one to enter, for a very drastic change, but that was probably because he was the one who called the meeting in the first place. He plopped himself on his bean bag chair, and then had the floor it was sitting on elevate to give him a better position. He was not sure how many would show up to his invitation, given how although he was likely older then most of them, he was new to the group itself.
However, they had an incredibly important topic to discuss. The defense treaty for Terra. Although Akio himself was not really enthusiastic about it, and he was very distrustful of mortals and to be fair anyone, he recognized the...uses...this treaty could have. Mainly, about how they could be seen more as equals, and solidify their own indepedence more. If they allowed this organization to go on with out them, to protect all of Terra which included themselves without them, then Akio could see it being used to say that they were lesser then them, that they needed protection, that they had nothing to contribute.
That sort of thinking and plotting could undo a lot of the work they did, such as during the Chaos Ball, and that was something Akio did not plan to allow, at least not without a fight.
"We absolutely cannot let this go on without some input ourselves. Yes, the Detente either has to be a part of this treaty...or, we must destroy it from becoming a force that will be recognized..."
Of course, Akio had no intention of limiting himself to one solution either. He believed there were only two choices for the Detente. To support it and become equals, or to destroy it entirely and prevent the risk from ever forming in the first place. The question was, what would the other members believe?
