Mio braces herself as they head towards the anomaly. Sachi takes a seat and tries to sit near Alanis.
The Overclocker is built and ready for action. It is successfully Upgraded.
The ship approaches the anomaly within the sensors and......from external sensors, seems to disappear straight into thin air.
Of course, that isn't true.
For the people within, they seem to have just been transplanted from one place to another, so to speak. One moment, they're in the deeps of space, approaching a seemingly empty area of space.
The next, they're....well, they're certainly not in space any more. They're not entirely sure WHERE they are.
The sky above them is a purple void, extending infinitely, with nothing- no stars, no sun, nothing- visible within the darkness. The only light radiates from the west, where a vast light seems to shine, lighting the void around it.
Anyone who looks this way sees something otherworldly; a vast, tree-like entity, seemingly extending infinitely into the void above, with multiple colours flickering in and out of existence within the 'trunk' of the structure. The 'roots' cover what seems to be the 'ground' of this reality, with thick and thin roots of various colours radiating outwards from the tree and into the distance, twisting and tangling with each other and diving into the soft ground, which seems almost ethereal and unreal with the vast amount of colours flowing through it. The beauty is almost captivating, but the occupants of the ship are snapped out of it almost instantly by the explosion that erupts from one of the big roots, nearer the tree.
As they turn towards it, they see five small figures, jumping away from the area of explosion, beating back a horde of equally small figures, with one figure causing large, golden explosions of light to engulf their opponents. The figures fighting off the horde seem to be clad in similar garments to Mio, and seem to be of similar age to her. In the distance behind them, a vast entity looms. It seems to resemble some sort of abstract shape, with a giant azure column forming what appears to be the main body, two golden extensions linking to small blue columns at the bottom, with a golden ring floating in the air behind it. A single orb, red in colour, is perched into the top of the column, firing off rays into the roots of the giant tree, causing explosions at the points of contact. To the left of that, a floating, ivory-coloured humanoid-like creature, mounted on a cloud, with its arms crossed and its featureless red circle of a face glaring down upon the tree. Small growths resembling horns protrude from its head, and smaller creatures resembling it in shape trail behind it.
Two pairs of the defending figures split off from the horde, each pair heading off to hold off one of the approaching groups of entities. The remaining defender, from what they can see a girl with a spear of some sort and a flag on her back, seems to brace herself with a defensive position against the horde of smaller enemies.
Mio presses herself against the nearest window. She looks very concerned.
".....three sets of Vertex on one day. That's never good.
Periw, set us near the tree."
