The world of the underground has changed. The negative emotions of the world have made the Noise more powerful, and the Taboo more common. Erasures are more rampant, and the reapers are more panicked over a new threat. A group called The Sound has invaded, placing negative emotions in mankind, for some sick thrill, or religious beliefs that the END is at hand, the return to nothing so that the world may start again, and they become the new gods

 

In their desperation, the Reapers have Tried to recruit more members, and the trials have become harder. The Sound have also invaded the game, posing as players.

 

 

You have 5 days

Failure Results in Erasure

You have 3 hrs

You Do not have a choice

Safety not assured.

TRUST NO ONE

 

The game will span 3 weeks (in game) with some of those days being reaper/sound 'off days.' Were they can rest a bit easy. Or not. Your choice…

Team: Sound
Name: Sonitus
Age: ???
Gender: ???
Bio: Sonitus was the second of the insectoid Noise to rise as an intellectual being, and was the founder of the group in which contains the seven intelligent Noise within the Sound. One-by-one, "he" has gathered any coming superior Noise to this collective group, as well as Vox-- the first in which who was born as the others were.
How they died (Player):
Power: Sonitus has the power of telepathy only to his brethren of the Noise-- both insectoids and the other, bestial creatures. He can also emit a dreadful screech strong enough to cause a human's ears to bleed, and can use telekinesis only to the extent of what he can physically carry. In addition, Sonitus can dash or glide with blazing speed.
Appearance: As an insectoid-- an insect the size of, or a bit larger than humans, Sonitus' body consists of the regulars-- a mantis body and scythe-like arms, the exoskeleton of an enlarged dung beetle, the wings of a mosquito, and the antennas of an ant. His body is a color of a dark yellow hue, his face slightly orange and eyes beady. "He" is also hiding another part of his species in secret. Sonitus is clad in purple and red armor-like equipment, and carries a golden rapier into battle.
Plans/Motivation: Unknown
Quote (Something your character might say): "You fail to see the REAL enemy here, now don't you?"

 

 

 

Team: Sound
Name: Vox
Age: ???
Gender: ???
Bio: The first of the intellectual insectoid Noise to ever awaken, and the second member of the group pertaining such. Vox was the most intelligent of all, and possibly of the strongest. "He" conceived the ideas of religion for all of Sound to one day follow, "he" is the one whom influences the actions of all Noise who harken to his call-- "he" is the voice that beckons noise and sound.
How they died (Player):
Power: Incredibly powerful telepathy over all races, to the point that he could drive someone mad with "whispers" of the corrupted and the insane. In addition, Vox has limited control over light and darkness, able to switch a certain amount of space between the two like night and days. Vox can also use electrical 'magic' to his advantage. Lastly, Vox can completely dominate the mind of a lesser Noise to his bidding, as a pet.
Appearance: With the usual mantis, ant, mosquito, and beetle setup as Sonitus, Vox also has a wasp in him-- concealing a deadly stinger. His mantis body is mostly a strange purple while having sturdy green shoulderpads before going down as a dark purple drape behind him and a frontal green chestpiece. Vox hides two daggers with him in battle.
Plans/Motivation: Unknown
Quote (Something your character might say): "Perhaps you didn't expect such a...contingency. You underestimate us. Surely, you could never outwit the voice of the Gods."

 

 

 

Team: Sound
Name: Lugeo
Age: ???
Gender: ???
Bio: The sixth of the insectoid Noise.
How they died (Player):
Power: Lugeo controls that of water and ice, and can, to an extent, manipulate the blood of "his" self, a human, or a non-insectoid Noise. Regarding the manipulation of blood, Lugeo can alter the direction of bloodflow, force certain limbs to move, and harden or loosen blood.
Appearance: Disregarding the normalities of an insectoid Noise, Lugeo has a tail as a scorpion has it's stinger, able to jolt itself into prey and inject possibly lethal venom. "He" has a purple body and is draped in a blue cloak from his shoulderpads and a blue chestpiece not made to be all too strong, but protects without forcing much weight. The cloak shrouds the venomous stinger.
Plans/Motivation: Unknown
Quote (Something your character might say): "Your tears are saddening, but the world is unaffected."

 

 

 

Team: Sound
Name: Cantus
Age: ???
Gender: ???
Bio: The fifth of the insectoid Noise. Upon awakening, Cantus was the first to be directly envied by other Noise, and attacks after his birth resulted in his blindness.
How they died (Player):
Power: "His" vision dulled to blindness, Cantus' other senses, as all insectoids were heightened, but his were far beyond than that of any others. "He" can sense quite a lot of living beings in senses that may not even exist to humans. Cantus is also dominant over the element of wind and can use it to enhance himself or allies with graceful speed, or bring it upon the enemies with deadly cyclones. Cantus also has the ability to rejuvenate any wounds of himself or his allies.
Appearance: While of course consisting of the mantis, beetle, ant, and mosquito as all, Cantus strangely has the ability to become translucent or even transparent to his will, blending in with anything he deems necessary. Cantus usually has a yellow-orange colored body. "He" carries a crossbow and dagger into battle.
Plans/Motivation: Unknown
Quote (Something your character might say): "The abilities in which you lack are oh so poorly recuperated-- an expectation of such indolent creatures."

 

 

 

Team: Sound
Name: Clarus
Age: ???
Gender: ???
Bio: The fourth of insectoid Noise.
How they died (Player):
Power: Clarus has control over earthen or metallic elements and can even use polarity to manipulate another's weapon, depending on the material it is made of. Being part cicada, Clarus can also screech a variety of irritating buzzes, rattling, and other sounds that will attract the attention of all Noise within an incredibly large proximity.
Appearance: Clarus' mantis-body is yellow-orange as with most others, but his mouth is that of an arachnid-like pincer, strangely. His beetle exoskeleton is significantly stronger than the others', and his wings are larger. Clarus has purple armor and brings with him a golden claymore sword into the battlefield.
Plans/Motivation: Unknown
Quote (Something your character might say): "I'm sure you'd like to go back to your conscious world, where we are not, and where you may actually be of the superior races. Just know that now, you are not."

 

 

 

Team: Sound
Name: Otium
Age: ???
Gender: ???
Bio: The third of the insectoid Noise.
How they died (Player):
Power: Otium controls fire-- the color of it represented by its heat, from red to yellow to green to white and finally, blue. Like Cantus, Otium also has the extra ability to become translucent or transparent to hide from foes. Like Vox as well, Otium can manipulate the minds of lesser Noise. In addition, Otium has an exceptional sense of vision and hearing, but smell, taste, and touch seem almost lost to him.
Appearance: Otium is often cloaked without any actual armor, but his body is as a dark green mantis'.
Plans/Motivation: Unknown
Quote (Something your character might say): "Ignorance blinds what you are truly doing, but arrogance influences you into actually doing so."

 

 

 

Team: Sound
Name: Quirito
Age: ???
Gender: ???
Bio: The seventh, and current last of insectoid Noise.
How they died (Player):
Power: Quirito is part cicada as Clarus is, letting him screech sounds to attract the attention of Noise, torture a human, or even just annoy anything. His speed is incredibly great, able to zoom exceptional distances without any fatigue.
Appearance: The youngest of the insectoid Noise, Quirito is exceptionally smaller, but is no less weaker. His small size also enables more swiftness during flight. His mantis body is a dark blue, wearing lightweight yellow armor, and carrying a scythe into battle. His beetle exoskeleton and ant antennae are stronger for his current size, as well as his mosquito wings. "He", however, also has the capabilities of the mosquito to drain another's blood for his benefit.
Plans/Motivation: Unknown
Quote (Something your character might say): "I am no less than that of my brethren, while you and even them may think so. Be wary not to underestimate your OWN allies, as well! They might just stab your back."


 

Team: Player
Name: Alexander Davis
Age: 15
Gender: Male
Bio: Alexander chooses not to share his past with anyone-- one would have to be incredibly close to him.
How they died (Player): Shot in place of another. That other died with him soon after.
Power: Able to enable/disable one of the five senses from another being (for a set period of time) and has limited blood manipulation.
Appearance:

Plans/Motivation: Nothing. Alexander doesn't care whether he wins or loses-- he's supposed to be dead.
Quote (Something your character might say): "Don't expect any miracles to happen. They never do."

 

 

 

Team: Player
Name: Noah Himitsu
Age: 14
Gender: Male
Bio: Noah never really had too difficult of a life, but he clung onto an endless stream of secrets. Because of some of them, Noah realized he wouldn't be getting a happy ending for himself no matter how hard he tried-- it was different for him, in some ways.
How they died (Player): Hung.
Power: Noah has the ability to form, manipulate, and bring shadows into the real realm, hardening them into carbon and perplexing it's form however he wishes.
Appearance:

Plans/Motivation: To have his own happy ending. Perhaps that is impossible....
Quote (Something your character might say): "Why take my time to worship a God, when that God never does anything for me in return?"

 

 

 

Team: Player
Name: Kasumi Nazo

Power: Kasumi can teleport short distances, leaving behind an afterimage and increasing her speed for a few seconds.
Appearance:

Plans/Motivation: To get herself and Alexander back into life
Quote (Something your character might say): "Not everyone's so bad. Just a lot of them are."

 

 

 

Team: Reaper
Name: Morgan Etiam Vinctum
Age: 24
Gender: Female
Bio: Morgan was raised by an incredibly religious family, and once they were out of the way, Morgan took it to extreme measures. Like ant childhood myth, God was never proven to her, and she decided to prove it herself. When her attempts at continuous virtue and sin failed, death was the only way to see. Even if she went to Hell, then Heaven would surely exist. Instead, she came to one of The Reapers' Game. She evidently won, and later became a Reaper, now seeing that the humans might still have their beliefs with God, and she was still determined to prove them right.
How they died (Player):
Power: Can control fire and darkness-- and is able to form transparent barriers to her will. While none can strike past the barriers, she can't either.
Appearance:

Plans/Motivation: To prove the existence of God.
Quote (Something your character might say): "I am not only a paragon of virtue-- but a paragon of sin. I am perfect."


Team: Reaper
Name: Lira Livius
Age: ???
Gender: Female
Bio: How Lira became a Reaper, and for how long is unknown, even her real, or original appearance is unknown, as she shifts main appearances every so often.
How they died (Player):
Power: Able to take upon the appearance of another by will, and can read through the memories of others. Can also create illusions strong enough to make people think that they're in actual danger, making their bodies feel pain that isn't real
Appearance:

Plans/Motivation:
Quote (Something your character might say): "You're one sad creature. Even you might not know everything about your own death, but I do!"
 

 

Team: Reaper
Name: Isaac Ghiral
Age: 37
Gender: Male
Bio: Bullied in his earlier childhood, Isaac grew through to his middle school where he became the real bully. His father being a neglectful and constantly working biologist/kinesiologist, and his mother a psychologist/sociologist, Isaac naturally developed being in the sciences. At the age of thirteen, he decided to conduct an experiment. One involving life, as well as his mentality and sense of mind. He took his pet cat down to his father's lab, and killed it. Instantly. He then hid the carcass, burying it behind a schoolyard. He became addicted, like a drug. He killed a bird. Then a dog. The next day, after dinner, his father left for his night-shift. When he came back, he came to see Isaac, cradling himself constantly with a laughter, wearing a lab coat bloodied with the redness of his mother. Next was his father. Both of them gone, Isaac decided to go further along. He dissected them, flaying off their skin and testing the durability of their bones, and what places in the body caused the most bloodshed. He became addicted again, practically obsessive over it. Later sentenced and on Death Row, Isaac was chosen for the Reapers' Game. He won, and was able to become a Reaper himself, now awaiting the chosen experimental subjects to be taken from their world and into his-- to be the subject of death and rebirth-- death, rebirth, and death once more. There was no death awaiting Isaac, himself, not anymore. Throughout his time in undeath, he had experimented on himself innumerable times, his body visually normal, but able to bend and twist unnaturally, if not more than just that.
How they died (Player):
Power: Biokinesis-- can control the body of another, or of oneself.
Appearance:

Plans/Motivation: Comprehension of life and death, as well as being the one to experiment on others' living bodies
Quote (Something your character might say): "Your world, and all of its inhabitants are mere test subjects in a waiting line. A few get to be experimented on, here. That, of course, does include myself...."


Team: Reaper
Name: Dante Enoch
Age: ???
Gender: Male
Bio: ???
How they died (Player):
Power: Can summon special "angelic" and "demonic" Noise to his bidding, and can manipulate already existing elements in various ways.
Appearance:

Plans/Motivation: ???
Quote (Something your character might say): "Too vague it is to be of just 'light' or 'darkness.' For you can be that radiant source in which light comes from, or the mirror that reflects it. You can be the darkness itself-- or merely one who tries to be ridden of light."


Team: Player
Name: Joshua Akira
Age: 11
Gender: Male
Bio: Never hated, never ridiculed, never neglected, never abused...but loved. Joshua did not begin with nothing, but with everything he needed, most of what he wanted-- all slowly going away. Intelligent for his age, Joshua even skipped a few grades, and would probably make wiser decisions than about any other person-- if he listened to his strong sense of reason. Instead, his emotions dominate. He was always friendly, but shy and soft-spoken. A good friend, but bad at making friends. They would have to make him a friend, which was easy, but surprisingly rare. Most people just didn't seem to care, seeing him alone or anything. One did, at least, Yumiko. He and she became close friends. She was the only reason left to live after his parents. But they all seemed to have left him. He followed....
How they died (Player): Suicide [by unknown ways]
Power: Healing and hydrokinesis [water manipulation]
Appearance:

Plans/Motivation: To come back to life, but only if his friends do too. Their lives come before his.
Quote (Something your character might say): "I...might not want my life...but other people want me to have it...."



Team: Player
Name: Yumiko Mori
Age: 14
Gender: Female
Bio: Yumiko, or "Yumi," lived a surprisingly uneventful life. She went to school and grew up regularly, usually pretty cheery and upbeat. She met Joshua not that long ago, just about two years ago. She had noticed he was alone once, and continued with her regular day. Over the next week or so, she saw that he was always alone, and left her friends that day and spent it with him. They teased her for befriending the young kid, nine years old at the time, but it was nothing Yumi couldn't handle. They had been good friends since, even spending time together when Yumi was...sick.
How they died (Player): Sickness
Power: Able to shoot lightning like an arrow
Appearance:

Plans/Motivation: To get Joshua back alive, and herself
Quote (Something your character might say): "How can you be sad when this is just a chance to be happy again?"

THE FIRST WEEK: Shibuya Daze.

 

The game was soon to start in Shibuya. Trevor looked around on top of the 104 towers with the other reapers. He had to deliver the news to the other reapers. As the top reaper usually did. It felt like a demotion. 'Congrats Trevor! You are one of the strongest Reapers ever! You are promoted to... MESSENGER BOY!'

 

Atlas grinned, and turned to Morgan. "I sense it, don't you?" He sniffed the air. "The smell of new promise. A good hunt! Your god must be looking down on me today!" He laughed.

 

"Hey, jungle boy!" Trevor said. "Shut up!" He sighed. "In closing, we will be doing the usual missions for the first couple of weeks, subject to change of course. I've set the clocks, and sent the texts. Do what you will."

 

"THE HUNT IS ON!!!" Said Atlas.

 

Eric woke up in an alleyway. Strange, he was in a... He heard footsteps come closer to him. Inhuman sounds. He ran out into the street. The light hit him, and he realized his place "Shibuya?"

"My God is your's as well, Atlas." Morgan pointed out, looking down upon Shibuya. She smirked, "I am curious, however, as to what way said God has while looking at you." She remarked a bit magnanimously, her rapier sheathed into its black scabbard as she awaited the Players' awakening. "Be sure to remember we still rule over the Noise...no 'Sound' will disrupt that fact. Make sure of it this Game." She said after Trevor had already left. She glared back at him, and then back to Atlas. "Remind me how he became even a consideration for the 'top reaper'...." She sighed. Atlas and Trevor bickered somewhat frequently. One could imagine Atlas and Trevor as children when with them for long enough, as Morgan was.Noah was of the first to awaken. His eyes opened, and at that moment, his shadow erupted as a pillar of darkness, before slowly dissolving back into its normal form. Curiously, he could feel it-- his shadow. A part of him...."Wake up already, aren't you already too old for mid-day naps?" Yumiko laughed, nudging Joshua awake. His eyes lit with disbelief, but with joy.

"His damn remote..." Atlas grumbled, looking down at them.

 

Astro woke up next to Kasumi. "Another week…" he sighed. "Onii-chan..." He looked at a chain on his neck that used to contain a locket... His last connection. He looked at the stranger.

 

Eric kept walking around. How in the world did he get to Shibuya? He thought. Walking around, he heard monstrous growls.

"I suppose so...but really anyone get it and be just as powerful, if not more-so than Trevor. I suppose that's a bit of an...interesting concept...." Morgan sighed. "I'm curious to see what we all have planned this Game, though, including him, and Isaac."Noah reached his hand up with his shadow, seeing the tattoo he bore with it. A tattoo...right...? It moved, as a timer, just now feeling a vibration in his pocket. He was confused...but still silent. He flipped his phone and read the text.Slowly, Kasumi, awoke. She stood, startled a slight bit seeing Astro right next to her, but shrugged it off, as he seemed a bit harmless. Even so, she felt a bit...strange. Different. "Hey," She started, to Astro, "Know where we are?" She asked this rather nonchalantly, considering she knew of her own death not long ago. She looked around for Alexander as well, spotting him ahead but waiting for the boy to reply.

Edited February 24, 201411 yr by CloakedSchemerX

Astro looked at the girl. "We are in Shibuya, an-" he heard the sound of Noise. "Get behind me!" He said to Kasumi. He saw a boy run past... Was that...

 

Freed looked at the containers of his angels. "The game has started my angel... Bring forth your message..." He smiled.

Kasumi smirked sassily. She glanced back at Eric, and rushed the Noise with a quick somersault. She rode its back for a few moments, bringing her arms around its neck and snapping it. The creature roared in agony, falling back wildly, back-first so that Kasumi would be crushed. It fell, and died as it wished, Kasumi under the creature. Another then roared in agony. Kasumi left an afterimage with the first, just as surprised as anyone with her sudden teleportation. She jumped from the second Noise's back, landing back on the ground. "Come on, I know you can fight too!" Kasumi said, seemingly to Astro, but to Alexander who awoke behind him. As his eyes opened, a Noise nearly attacked Astro. Instead, it stood there, from its two legs like a human, frozen in place, practically. It fell with a whimper. "Hm...." Alexander inquired after that, standing beside Astro.The creature roared in agony. With the death of but a single Noise, a distant, small chamber, gave a loud sound of a shatter, and then an intense, demoralizing screech heard throughout all of Shibuya, ending abruptly. From the first of seven chambers, Sonitus had awoken. "The Game...has begun yet again.""...What...was that...?" Joshua stuttered, standing close to Yumi. The inhuman screech struck fear in him....

Astro looked at the figure. "That was new..." He looked over to the figure. He ran over. Looking at him, he was both afraid and...happy. "Onii-chan?"

 

Eric looked at the bandaged kid. "Astro..." Tears welled up. "How many times do I hate you saying that!" He hugged him for what seemed an eternity. "So this definitely is not heaven or hell... What's happening?"

 

Atlas picked up his phone "Oh! Forgot the message!"

 

Timers appeared on THIER hands. Players phones rang, with one mission

 

REACH 104

FAILURE=ERASURE

Kasumi and Alexander, both triumphant in battle, walked together, an awkwardly silent reconciliation. They glanced at Astro and Eric too, a bit confused. They must've known each other like the two did themselves, but they seemed a bit closer. Alexander was more-so confused, as well, simply because Kasumi actually understood Astro's "Onii-chan." They were brothers....Whatever had just screeched afar didn't again. Joshua's and Yumiko's phones both vibrated simultaneously. Confused, the two flipped their phones:REACH 104FAILURE=ERASUREJust the interpretation of 'erasure' just became more fear to Joshua. Even this, Yumi took lightly. They would be erased if they failed...! All they had to was succeed! Noise began to spawn around....

"I'm afraid you did not answer my question, brother..." Eric said.

 

Astro sighed. "We are in the reapers game... We are all dead...and we have to follow THIER rules."

 

Freed watched as Sonitus made his arrival. "My angels have arrived...what news do you bring?"

 

Atlas looked at Morgan. "HMM... Sound is not anywhere, no doubt they have spies and false players... But that Noise... What was that?" He smiled. "They look like good hunt..."

Sonitus' bones cracked, his blood boiled, and was covered in gooey, mushy, residue, like a baby born from a fetus. He dropped his feet tot he floor, making a squishing, grotesque sound. Sonitus himself seemed somewhat disgusted. He cracked his neck one last time, "Ahhh, Freed...it's been quite awhile. And for that reason, I must tell you each of the others are in the same slumber I was. They mustn't be disturbed in sleep." Sonitus' eyes traced over, scanning where each of the others are. "Some will awaken sooner than others, and they're all tied with the Noise. Killing those lesser things seem to have the effect of waking us, at times...just as I was...."Shadows erupted again. All around Joshua and Yumi, Noise vanished instantly, dragged away and killed. "...Where...are we...?" He asked Yumi. She shook her head, "I don't know. But we'll be fine...come on." She took his hand and went to look for 104, whatever that may be."No, Atlas, not good hunt. Not yet...." Morgan began, grinning. "Learn thy enemy first. Whatever it is, seems unique. I think you could talk to Isaac about finding out what it is...then...hunt it. Even if you and him have some arguments about hunting or dissecting...."

"That fool..." Atlas growled. "But you are right... But first, shall we test the players? Give them a…mini game?" His eyes gleamed in delight, as he looked down off of the 104 building. "I mean, after all, how hard is the first mission?" He laughed.

 

Freed sat down on his chair. "The angels of judgement will come when needed..." He smiled. The spies were placed, the angels arriving... Rapture was at hand...

 

Astro and Eric looked at the message, and said in unison

Morgan nodded her head in agreement, "Of course, but what 'game' do you have in mind?" She asked, laughing at how it seemed that Atlas was capable of bickering with both Trevor and Isaac."We should go then." Kasumi said, addressing all three around her, but mostly just Alexander and Astro. With any creatures about, it would be better off as a group. A subject to change, but right as of now.

Atlas smiles. "How about...'Reaper Tag'?"

 

Astro nodded. "Typical... Listen, everyone! We need to go to that building!" Pointing behind, the 104 building was monolithic in nature.

Edited February 24, 201411 yr by DEADACCOUNT2333

(Wasn't I just talking to Atlas? )Morgan looked back at Trevor curiously. "Interesting...explain." Morgan told him, looking down as overseer of the Players scurrying around against Noise. Later in the Game, they'd be begging for their actual lives or for their next death...it could be amusing.Noah had already almost arrived at the 104 building. Seeing that they had plenty of time, Yumi and Joshua walked there, holding hands with only each other's company. The people they had passed by were practically not there...or rather, they were, but the two weren't."I personally think it's pretty obvious...." Alexander remarked a bit snarkily. Kasumi elbowed him, he winced but didn't really seem hurt.

Astro looked ahead, to see...

No.

The man and woman... He remembered the massacre of last game... Of wich he was the only survivor....

He stepped back in fear...

 

"PLAYERS!" Atlas yelled, as a force field was out up behind them, blocking all attempts going to 104

From just by the building, Noah's shadow erupted and practically exploded in all directions leaving Noah standing right in front of the barrier, a bit provoked. (How do they expect me to...?) He thought to himself, walking around the barrier in hopes of finding an entrance.Atop the 104 building, Morgan looked down. "How dramatic Atlas is...." She remarked, watching the events transpire.And yet beneath the 104 building, "Players...? Tch, the Game's started." Isaac complaint. "Trevor is the messenger boy this time, right? I heard nothing. I'm tempted to kill the messenger...."

Trevor appeared behind Issac. "It's not your fault you didn't come to the meeting." He smiled.

 

Atlas grabbed the rouge player. "No running Noah! A man faces his challenges straight on!"

"Don't touch me." Noah's first words were spoken, as his shadows erupted again right against Atlas. "You can't determine a man like that." He scoffed, escaping Atlas' grasp but not leaving his sight."Smiling?" Isaac asked Trevor, ignoring his statement. "I can arrange for you to keep that smile for the rest of your life," He began, with a quick laugh. "Regardless...." Agonizing screams echoed behind Isaac and even further below where they stood. "I have new pets for the kids to play with."

Trevor laughed "And I've been working on sticking people in time loops." He scratched his head. "So, what are these new toys?"

"Noise." Isaac replied straightforwardly...as it seemed. "Of sorts...you can watch if you want." Isaac continued down the stairs, dropping the door down loudly, the metal latching as it hit the ground. Among the mutated and genetically engineered chimeras of Noise lied one special though. But it was asleep-- silent...quiet. Even among the agony of the regular Noise.

Atlas goosed the player on the ground. "I want to play a mini game for a bit..." He smiled. "COME AT ME CUB! FACE THE ALPHA MALE!!!"

 

Trevor looked at it. "What the hell…" he tried to hide his fear. "Is that?"

"You're annoying me already," Noah grunted, shooting spikes of shadow from right around him, arcing over him to stab Atlas. He quickly backed out of his own shadowy clutches, and away from Atlas. "Who are you? And where are we?" He interrogated the man, sure of not getting a straight answer. "And if you're the one wanting me to get to 104...why block it?"Isaac smiled. "Just about everything here are all chimeras. Genetically engineered, mutated, deformed, or joined Noise. They feel constant pain because of it all, so that explains their endless agony. As for...that, specifically...." Isaac looked at the creature with Trevor, "I have no idea. And until I do, I'd greatly appreciate no word of this spoken to Atlas or the conductor. Atlas will probably release it and hunt it down again, and the conductor...well who knows. He may see it as a forming threat."

Atlas smiles. "It's as flunky Says..." He looked at astro. "This is our game!" He seemed to have no pain or damage when the shadows hit. "And as for why... I want to test the newcomers."

 

Trevor looked around. "You've...tried to make humanoids before?" He looked at the hybrids.

"I'll make you play the game with us...sooner or later." Noah ceased attacking seeing it fail. "And those creatures...." He continued, referring to the Noise, "What are they...?"Kasumi and Alexander soon arrived with Astro and Eric to see the short battle between Noah and Atlas. The Player and the Reaper, easily distinguishable. "So there are more," Kasumi stated, looking at Astro, as he seemed most knowledgeable of the circumstance.Joshua and Yumiko, meanwhile, arrived to the 104 building from the opposite side. Still divided by a barrier, Morgan watched the two from far above."But of course." Isaac had a sadistic glare to his eyes, "Any curious individual would. I've been able to join a human with several different animals, to little avail, but I've yet to make a humanoid out of itself. The thought hadn't occurred to me of the possibility of creating insectoids...this one is interesting. Far too early to dissect."
