<span style="color: #00FF00">“Yes, Wally, that is the way out.” Firestorm nodded. “Hurry and see to it that you meet up with our comrade before something else... unwanted happens.”<br/><br/>“Why am I not allowed to kill this one?” Ulquiorra was heard asking as Asterous left. Firestorm’s reply was, “You have a very unwanted one track mind. Try to see it my way, and you just might learn something.”<br/><br/>“As you wish.” Ulquiorra complied with a bored tone.<br/><div><hr style="height:2px; width:100%; border:0; color: green;background:green;"/></div><br/>Blade rubbed his temples. “So our options are to go with the bloodthirsty coffee drinking flesh eater, or to find a guy who can give us information on GM? I’m not sure I like the odds that we find something worse than Touka. Besides… I don’t have a problem with following her.”<br/><br/>“I do! Do you know what will happen to me if we go back there?” the Hellmaster suddenly shouted. Touka frowned, but didn’t want to compromise her position, so she shrugged. “Again, do what you want. I repeat, I don’t give a shit.” she maintained.</span><br/><br/><span style="color: #BF00FF">Sinon had slipped in and around the group silently. This was more of her default state of being than any sort of skill however. She found herself to the back of the Hellmaster “It's not as if we have to stay together.” She whispered neutrally.<br/></span><br/><span style="color: #00FF00">Phibrizzo caught on and immediately said, “I think I’ll follow Sinon!” to which Touka’s eyes widened slightly, having not expected this development. Rukia looked to Masahide, who decided he would rather go with Doce and the others, so she followed suit with a, “I vote to go to the Overseer.”<br/><br/>Blade sighed. “Fine… I suppose that it wouldn’t hurt to follow you.” he resigned to the Ghoul. Soon the group split up and Death, Blade, Masahide and Rukia followed Touka, while the Hellmaster followed Sinon. Reaching the Fortress took little time, which surprised JD. During the time it took to walk there, he kept thinking about what they were going to say to the Overseer. After all the first time they were here, they had been led to believe he was the enemy. Upon reaching the door to the Fortress, Blade noted that there was a guard, and not someone he was overly fond of meeting.<br/><br/>Ulquiorra.<br/><br/>“Shit.” Masahide breathed. Ulquiorra seemed to recognize him. “I was told not to harm you.” he stated as fact. Then added a “Be grateful.” as a sort of warning. Leading the group to a large throne room, he left, presumably to guard the door again.<br/><br/>“Touka.” A voice acknowledged. “Who have you brought before me?”<br/><div><hr style="height:2px; width:100%; border:0; color: green;background:green;"/></div><br/>Hellmaster Phibrizzo followed Sinon without much hesitation and kept stealing glances at the snake markings on her wrist and hand. “So where are we headed exactly?” he asked. “Without Archer I don’t see how we’ll find our target!”</span><br/><br/><span style="color: #BF00FF">Sinon had been eyeing the ground and the area in front of her like she was scanning for something with her crystal blue eyes “We are going that way.” she shifted her direction at her monotone words.</span><br/><br/><span style="color: #00FF00">“Fine then, don’t tell me.” Phibrizzo huffed. Soon the two of them found an opening in the trees, where a small town was situated. “Huh… you do know your way around...” The Monster Lord admitted. Not very many people were outside, so it was easy to find the only one with strikingly pink hair and a lab coat. “Don’t just stand there! Say something!” Phibrizzo nudged Sinon, feeling a bit awkward to be there in place of Doce and the others.</span><br/><br/><span style="color: #BF00FF">She seemed to just then look up. Her eyes regarded the person in a very dismissive way “So… Are you Juni?” She thought maybe a nickname would break the tension “I was mostly asleep when you hacked things or whatever.” She added because it was weird not to recognize him, or maybe her, to be honest she was rather bad at judging gender.</span><br/><br/><span style="color: #00FF00">“Yeah, that’s me. I was starting to think no one was coming. You’re here for the GM files, right?” Junichiro asked. Phibrizzo nodded. “What have you got?” he asked. Junichiro smirked and handed them a flash drive. “Get this to the Overseer. It’s got the source code on how the world of Fiction is being maintained. It’s really quite interesting! I was in shock when I found out how he did it! Turns out the machine used to maintain fiction is… well… several machines created it and we need to have someone shut off one irl before the one in the GM’s world can be tampered with effectively. Aaaaand… I’m out of ideas on how to do that since we can’t contact the real world.” Phibrizzo frowned. “Sinon… got any ideas?” he asked, then thanked Junichiro for the info.</span><br/><br/><span style="color: #BF00FF">She coiled her fingerless glove-laden fist against her chin and pondered for a moment. The real world to her was 2025 Japan, But Sof had recognized her as fiction, so he was of the real world. As to how they could get back to his world or even contact it, she was at a loss, but she didn’t fret it much. “Sorry idiots trudging forwards blindly…” She sighed “I don’t have Ideas but if Eggy and SOF were here to bounce nonsense off each other they’d probably figure it out, so don't worry. We just have to get this to him Somehow.”</span><br/><br/><span style="color: #00FF00">Phibrizzo scowled, “Well I can get us there, but what with being a traitor I don’t really think it would be a good idea for me to show up at the Fortress again… I almost died once. I don’t want a repeat.”</span><br/><br/><span style="color: #BF00FF">Sinon just shrugged “From what I know of SO… Archer, he would protect you even if it meant his death… and if all else fails the tattoo you've been eyeing can compel him too.”</span><br/><br/><span style="color: #00FF00">The Hellmaster looked doubtful for a moment, but finally decided that even if that were false, he could rely on the three Doces to do the same. Sighing, he simply answered her with, “I reserve the right to leave at any time. Follow me.” and he opened a portal to the Astral realm that would lead them to the Overseer’s throne room.</span>
