[Since Wendy isn't here, and I can't do filler with Skylos because of a major pause, Terra 000 it is. ] Noah sat boredly in the fortress of Terra 000. Ever since Zach had left, nothing had really happened. Not even Omni had visited them. He sighed as he looked over his ring with a blue stone in it for the thousandth time.

A young-looking man with short, swept back brown hair walked up to Noah and flashed him a smile. "Hey there, Noah," he greeted the Light Human. "Whatcha up to?" He ran a hand over his hair in a way which suggested he did that regularly.

Noah looked at Sotec upside-down. He was laying across a sofa. He sat up and grinned. "Sotec! Great to see you! Things are so dull around here."

Sotec Sasaki chucked. Of course, he only looked young; being Elios' counterpart, he was now pushing 400. He leant against the back of the sofa and began absently tossing a small flame between the fingers of his right hand. "Remus and Corona not keeping you occupied then, eh?" he asked Noah in a sympathetic manner.

Noah laughed. "I am so glad that they aren't in this room! I'd have to listen to chattering...the mean babble... Oh and Remus would probably get all mad and start smashing things again! Can you believe it? He smashed my entire lego set the other day. So I started plotting his gruesome end. Heh heh." He beamed as if it were no big deal.

Sotec chuckled again, if slightly more weakly this time. "And I'm sure Terra Prime would thank you for it," he joked. He then scowled slightly. "Still, those two could use a bit of a chill out... just because they're both rulers now doesn't mean they can turn their back on their friends." He disliked people who did that.

"Oh...Corona is just crabby. Remus is evil incarnated." He jumped up from the sofa. "Daniel is the real leader anyways." He put his arms around his back and held his hands. He stiffened his shoulders into good posture. He used a lower voice "Ye Master of the Shadows." He joked.
Of course Belak was in the room too. But he was always off in a corner, watching.

Sotec laughed. "Recently, I've begun to think Daniel's actually gone and turned into a shadow... I haven't been able to find him anywhere." He glanced over at Belak. "Hey, Belak, you tend to notice things. Seen Daniel about recently?"

Belak's violet eyes seemed to be looking beyond Sotec. He answered in a raspy voice. "Under you." He said, simply.
Noah blinked and looked down at Sotec's shadow. "Ah... I'm in trouble then."
Daniel chuckled as he rose out from behind Sotec. He walked over to Noah and pretended to be admonishing him for mocking him. "Now you go to the corner, Noah! No, no...Belak's corner."

"Yah!" Sotech jumped a little and spun around. He smoothed his hair back to calm himself. "Must you?" he asked Daniel, bemused. Were all shadow wielders like this? Shizako hadn't always exactly struck him as entirely right in the head either...

Noah grinned and sat on Belak's lap. Belak sighed slightly and pretty much ignored him. His lower pair of wings absentmindly folded around Noah, however.
Daniel turned and faced Sotec. "Ah. Sorry. Anyways, how goes it, Sotec?" he didn't sound all that interested, but he was being friendly.

"Extremely boring, according to Noah," Sotec responded, grinning at the Light Human now in Belak's lap. The grin faded slightly to a smile as he continued. "Although, I doubt the Universal Nexus feels the same way. You wouldn't believe how much energy I felt running through there recently! You'd think someone was transporting an entire army..." He shook his head in an 'I don't know' sort of way.

Daniel scratched the back of his head. "Tranductus visited me two weeks ago and said he 'saw a lot of people'. Of course he didn't say how much a lot is. Though he did say he talked to what appeared to be the leader. Of course couldn't be sure since his mind was locked up tight...So it could very well have just been a scout for this 'army'." Daniel looked away. "I asked him to go check on them again, but he returned a short while later and said that they were all gone." He looked back. "And now you say you feel it often? I don't like the sound of that."
Noah shivered slightly, but it was probably from being 'hugged' by a demon whose body temperature was around 60°F.

"It's worrying," Sotec agreed. "Particularly if whoever it is decides to come here." He frowned in conctemplation. "I think we need to find out more," he declared at last. He flashed a smile at Noah. "You up for a little trip, Noah?"

Noah jumped out of Belak's clutches and rushed over to Sotec. "Yes! Yes!" He grinned.
Belak's wings retook their position behind him. He didn't seem to care that Noah left.
Daniel frowned slightly. "Ah...Well. Make sure you guys stay safe..."

"Aw, not coming, Daniel?" teased Sotec. He then winked at the cheerful Light Human beside him. "Well, Noah, I guess we get all the fun then, don't we?" Walking out into the centre of the room to get some space, he nodded a goodbye to Daniel. "Don't worry, I'll take good care of him," he assured Danlay's counterpart, referring to Noah, obviously. With that done, he snapped his fingers, and another fireball whizzed from them, growing larger as it encircled Sotec and Noah. After a few circuits, the pair disappeared in a flash of light, appearing at the Universal Nexus.
Sotec gave the place a casual scan. Nothing much had changed since his last visit - not that he came here much. No one else but them there, either. In a way, he was disappointed - while running into an entire army might prove dangerous, if they'd happend to come across a scout, it would have given them a lead, rather than picking a dimension and hoping they got lucky.

Daniel sighed. He had actually said that because he felt he wasn't given an invitation. "Oh well. I guess not everyone understands what I mean." He sat on the sofa and idled.

Noah examined the pillars at the bottom of the staircase. "This place sure could use a face-lift!" He giggled. "Why don't we just look at the number last used on the alter? Though I suppose someone else could have used it since they were here..."

Sotec smiled. "Oh yeah, I'd forgotten about that," he admitted ruefully. "Well, even if someone else has used it, it's as good a place to start as any." He went up the altar and looked. 472. He searched his memory banks for some info on that particular universe. Nothing. Oh well... more fun this way, he thought wryly. "You want to do it?" he asked Noah, thinking his friend would probably enjoy being asked to do it.

Noah jumped and grinned. "You bet!" He ran up the stairs and joined Sotec. "Let's get going right away! Oo. Do you think we'll get to fight an army? I could finally have a chance to practice my powers on people." He was quite happy at that thought.

Sotec grinned. "Wouldn't discount that idea," he told Noah. Of course he hoped it wouldn't come to that... although Noah's enthusiasm was, as usual, proving rather infectious.

Noah snapped a finger. "Perhaps we should go prepared. We might get attacked as soon as we land." From his robe, he pulled out a warhammer. He seemed to have little trouble with holding it. "Alright! I'm ready now." An increase in his light aura was present as well.

Sotec chucked. "Quite right, Noah," he agreed. Of course, weapons weren't really his thing, but he did gather some Fire energy to use if necessary. "Now, are you going to send us after these guys or what?" he jibed.

Noah blinked. "Oh you want me to transfer us? Oh thanks! I love showing off!" He laughed and put both hands on the alter. The world would start to shimmer around the two of them and they would find themselves fying through a tunnel full of stars wizzing past them. "This is always so much fun!" He was spinning in circles as he flew through.

Sotec just smiled. It was a lovely view, but Noah's circles were almost enough to make anyone nauseous. Pretty soon, a dot appeared and started getting larger, swfitly filling their field of vision. At a distance, it looked fairly similar to Earth, although what little they could see of the continents was of course completely different. The usually palate of greens and blues was present, though. Naturally, the pair only got a few short seconds to observe this before everything dissolved into white once more and they found themsleves standing on the planet's surface. [Aaaaaand... over to you for the descrip, Caleb. ]

[Thanks Ralphy. ] They landed on a nice open prairie. The grass was as green as ever, but the smells in the air hinted at it being close to Fall. There appeared to be no buildings for miles. The only hints that someone (and a lot of someones, in fact) were the stomped down grass leading down the hill, which stretched for over a mile. There was quite a lot of grass that had been trampled. "Either we're extremelt lucky - which of course we are! - or this person had many people with him or her, too." he put his warhammer away and calmed his bluish-white aura.

Sotec also let go of his energy. "Looks that way," he agreed with Noah. "Well, let's go after them and see what we can spot, eh?" He started off down the hill, keeping to the stomped down grass, which would obviously make for easier going as well as giving them a clear trail.

Noah nodded and followed. He then chuckled. "Let's just hope we're not following some sheep herder who decided to move the flock today." He put his arms behind his head in a carefree expression. It seemed more like a vacation to him.

"Yeah, that'd be a major waste of time," laughed Sotec. "Still, it's good to get out of Terra Prime for a bit, I reckon." Away from all that doom and gloom, he added in his head.

Noah agreed with a nod. "Oh yes. Those guys are so dull. The only other cool person there is Zeak. I just love riding on that motorcycle!" He then pretended he was driving it as he ran down the hill. He stopped at the bottom of the hill and paused for Sotec to catch up.

Sotec grinned. "Tell me about it," he answered Noah's last statement as he reached him. "Why we had to get laden with all the ones guaranteed to depress a puppy I don't know. I hear our counterparts on Terra 2 get on fine!" He walked on at the same cheerful pace, still keeping to the beaten-down grass.
