((Yellow is a bit hard to see, S34N1C, so I'm going to have it glowing with something, which I'll say here: Red. If you don't like it in Red, tell me so I can have it glowing with something else.))
Introduction: Questions Answered (Part Two):
As thoughts and more questions fill the minds of our heroes, same as the wood creaks fill the air, Yung Venuz speaks first to voice his question. "So, what exactly is an "Androzi"?", he asks, with a tone of voice questioning the information he's heard. Demeter answers the question, focused back on cleaning the skull. "Like Nova said, sir. They're a parasite. According to a book in Hunter's library, they are, anyway. From the Void, they emerge and eat timelines and, if they can, whole universes!". "First, I forbade you from reading that book, it contains-....nevermind, it's fine. Anyway, yes. The Androzi are from the Void. They're a natural species, which may be why they don't consume the Monster Realms."
Finally, our forth hero speaks up. With a grizzled look and two lightsaber-blaster hybrids, he asks his question, "Why me, then?, with a lost look on his face, clearly unsure. Someone grabs his shoulders and turns him around, Hunter meeting face to face with him. "Because I chose you. Yes, you and the rest aren't the strongest of your universes. But every battle needs a champion, every story a hero. You want to make history? You want to fight to save a world? This is that fight!". Each word hits Kyren, who steps back in contemplation.
Looking around the room, Asaji shuffles her feet before saying, "Well, that clears up some things. I take it that this version of Earth isn't a wasteland due to it being another version of Earth and in the past.", her voice a fair bit unsteady, yet more understanding. Nova and Demeter get a bit quiet at that, with their lack of wanting to answer to that obvious as they both wear an uncomfortable expression. At that quiet, Hunter says, "Well, if you mean the Universe you're going to, that's debatable. Before the Androzi got there, at least at the earliest point in the Timeline, that world was being ravaged by the Undead. Zombies, created using Ununpentium, or Element 115, supercharged via supernatural forces. While not a wasteland, damage and destruction was left in the wake of their attack.". Asaji looks around a bit more before saying, "So how does all this universe time space tearing work exactly? What device is able to do it and how?....And on a less important question, can I have a cancerlight? I haven't had one in a while and it would be nice to have right now.". To start, Hunter says, "Well, a Rift is formed when something breaks in a Universe's space-time continuum. The Universe forms it as sort of a protection, the hole being siphoned to another Timeline or Universe, which is where a Rift leads, though it can also go to the future and the past. Devices vary. Humans can tear Rifts, but usually need special machines. Chronomancers?". At that, Hunter releases a knife from a sheathe in his belt, before slicing at the air. A green slash floats in the air before rapidly expanding into a large portal. "All Chronomancers have a Knife of Aeneth, formed from Aether and Nether energies, hence the name.". Nova then says, "Yep! Pretty fascinating...though, I have to ask, what's a Cancerlight? Never heard of it, before.".
With a thoughtful expression on his face, Sly stays quiet.
"If there are no more questions, pop into the Rift I just made to start battling the Androzi. Otherwise, I'll close it if you need any more information."
