Skylos wasn't able to find anything. That was incredibly alarming, because all he was attempting to do was a simple alignment check on Renka. He wasn't sure what to make of such a revelation... ...Can something still exist without a Core? The answer was no. Not under any type of normal circumstances. Cores were effectively people.
While he ruminated over the coreless Renka, Edward finally piped up and said something. Leave it to Skylos to hog all of the questioning, huh?
"It's natural for things to cycle." Skylos then noted, not too alarmed yet by the hunter's revelation. "Heck, this whole Reality broke once or twice before we all ended up with this one." That had been a long, tiring story that had hopefully been tied up now. His lie came clear...but tarnished. He was trying to pass on a half-truth as the full truth? Personally, it made Skylos think that Renka was trying to bury himself, so that it would be easier for people he knew to bury him... Skylos didn't like that. Sacrificing yourself isn't going to help in the long run, if what you've said so far is actually truth. He had expected more lies up to this point. It made Skylos antsy.
"Chaos is but a corner in the grand scheme of things." Skylos said after a bit. "Or Lygizo liked to think that. I don't really know myself since he was the expert, and I only learned a quick trick from him to be able to see it. If there's a force of Chaos, then there will be other forces as well, always keeping it in check -- keeping each other in check." Skylos now had another...being... he needed to visit. He definitely didn't want to; he wasn't sure if he even could. "All living beings are a proxy to these ideals without even really being aware of it, so he's right to say there will always be others... You can't ever really destroy a mentality."
Skylos then asked the obvious question, and followed up with the findings that had bothered him before. "What do you mean about not having much time left...? And where is your Core?"

Hunter R was taking all of what Skylos had to say in, and he seemed to have been effected by it. Skylos could feel that Hunter R was feeling emotions nostalgic for Hunter R, if he could pick up on that. "The problem lies in a mentality given form, and in it's nature, wants to be all there is. Destruction is chaos, but there is chaos in peace as well. It can take many forms. There's no telling why kind of world would exist with it as a governing force." Hunter R then very much felt off put by Skylos' direct final question. "The way you speak...That concern but frankness...Eyes that cut through to see the truth, no matter how ugly...In your eyes and voice...You're just like him...You Pantech's frustrate me to no end...Your words both give me a unfounded hope." Hunter R gave a very light laugh, but not one of real annoyance. Skylos would feel the emotions were very happy ones, but also truly annoyed ones. It might remind him melago, just not quite the way Skylos felt it. "My core is not here, but I am not some creature that lives without one. Even as Chaos' proxy, I am still human at the end of things...Do you know why I said such clear lies to you, Mr. Pantech, and around Mr. Hawking no less? I needed a distraction. You remember what I said in your grandathers base when I was captured? That I had no way off your Terra? With a blockade at the Nexus, escape was impossible, and soon enough you and TEC would find me on your Terra. So I 'surrendered'...but not really. You see, what you are speaking to now? This is a highly advanced decoy robot, being wirelessly controlled via my real suit, which is why it was missing during my capture. Recreating the aura was simple enough, and you are hearing from me directly so that's how your lie detection would actually be effective. I've already moved on from Terra 002 since the bloackade was removed with my 'capture', and I have no intention to return for The Eye anytime soon."
Edward looked annoyed. "It's as I worried, but dared not believe. But if you aren't here, then why do any of this at all? You could've kept quiet."
"You would've figured it out when you went to put a robot to death, trust me. But the reason why I did this at all was that I wondered if Mr. Pantech would take the bait I left. I wanted to speak with him, and Chaos wanted me to put out a threat to the saviors of reality that their time would soon come as well. It worked out well. As of now, due to the lack of Chaos' hold on reality, he won't know the details of this meeting. For now, what has taken place here remains here, but I cannot assure you it will remain that way." Hunter R explained.

Considering his feelings for Draco... Well, there could have been a twinge of feeling there, but nothing more than a fleeting thought. Skylos did not really know Renka, nor his life. "I can't speak for the other 499 of me, but most of the Rems I've found so far have been friends like any other..." Skylos noted, quietly in response. He couldn't help feeling concerned for him. At least the revelation of his missing core was better than what his imagination had put together. "What I mean to say is, bait or no bait, I'd have come to check on you. Maybe I'm naïve, but it's hard to stay away when a friend's face is in distress." Even if it's not really my friend... Deep down, he knew there were deep connections among counterparts. They weren't the same person, but a bit of them was in each other to some extent.
"That being said. It's also my duty to keep you on the straight and narrow. Naturally, I don't know where you are for real, and it will probably be a long time before we cross paths again..." Skylos crossed his arms in annoyance. "But I will do what I can. You can count on me."

Hunter R chuckled slightly as Skylos, but it sounded more light hearted. "You really are alike...But his naivety cost him everything...It can be a weakness to be exploited if you aren't careful. You'd do best to remember that. But...I think you'll be fine, with your track record..." He paused for a moment. "Should we cross paths again before the fall, and I believe we will, we will be enemies once again. Do not forget that. However if you were to meet me as Renka, well thats another story entirely..."
Edward cut in once Hunter R took a pause, as he still had questions regarding the case. "The matter of Chaos aside, you don't directly confirm or deny your identity. You speak as if you are both the same person, and different people. For the safety of others, I need to know the fact of this matter."
Hunter R chuckled again. "I respect your drive, Mr. Hawking. But let's be honest for a moment here, what would it change? We both know TEC and it's leaders fully believe Renka Stratford is Hunter R, which is why you nearly arrested Rem Stratford, over the simple matter of a fake aura. These fools will latch on to anything if it means 'stopping' Hunter R. I could say that Renka isn't Hunter R, and that I am the only one, but if they choose to believe that Renka is pulling the strings to make it look that way, a confession means nothing. Nothing shy of undeniable proof of his innocence will be enough...and the suit was stolen nearly ten years ago. I doubt such proof would remain. So is Renka an Agent of Chaos itself, the one speaking now? Or is he indeed a framed person in order to keep your TEC fools off my tail while I do the work of Chaos? Maybe we are two people, both with the same goal? Mr. Pantech could find out for fact, but then what if someone thinks he's just helping me? Lying for me? This Terra's leader is blinded by me, that much is true. I trust you both can figure out the truth, but the matter is, is that truth a favorable one?" He paused. Throughout this sepal, Skylos wouldn't find lies, but he also wouldn't speak in a way where the lie was easily detectable. When Hunter R spoke of Renka, Skylos would find resistance in finding the truth. It's possible the mystery was something Chaos wanted in effect for now. It was a chaotic sort of thing after all. "In short, Mr. Hawking, my answer doesn't matter without proof. And as an Agent of Chaos, the more chaos surrounding this issue does nothing but help me in my forced work. Like I said earlier, my fear for Chaos' is far more then anything else to me in this reality right now. And until he's gone..." Hunter R trailed off, his emotions mixed heavily.

Skylos nodded his head. "Basically, bureaucracy is pointless right now. Holding a trial for Renka or Hunter R wouldn't stop Chaos. It would only be for show." On an even more basic level, Renka was telling them to stop chasing phantoms and go look for the real thing! Nothing will be solved right now. He looked at Edward, hoping that he had caught on to that fact. That being said, Skylos would like to find out the truth. He wasn't entirely sure how he'd do that alone, though. It appeared that Renka could easily redirect the truth to fit the narrative. I'd have to be in front of the real one. And I would probably need Neon.
"How long do I have to find...Renka?" Skylos then asked. Ever the optimist, he couldn't help but ask. He wasn't his counterpart. Skylos probably had far more experience...

Edward nodded in agreement to Skylos. "I agree. Honestly, as the prosecutor in the case, any defense to Renka would have a mountain to overcome for one. But putting Hunter R behind bars would only delay Chaos..." He looked stressed. "I cannot condone your actions, personal reasons aside, but Chaos is easily a bigger threat then you alone. You are the only lead we have on Chaos at all." Edward hated the idea of Hunter R roaming free, mostly because where ever he goes, destruction always follows. He had a personal reason for wanting Hunter R locked up, but he still had no proof Hunter R and Renka were the same person. That and what would it matter if he was caught, but Chaos destroyed everything anyway?
Hunter R couldn't fold his arms due to the cuffs, but you could tell he tried too. Failing, he just leaned forward. "You have time. For now, Chaos doesn't believe he has the power to take over reality. Roadblocks that could threaten him still exist. The Eye and the Gale Orb were relics that he wanted removed, for example. Removing beings and objects that could pose a threat is what agents of chaos are tasked with. You both and your friends included. As of now, I don't believe he has any plans to move forward, but...it is chaos. It's reasoning could shift at any time. I do know this, you and your friends, defenders of reality, are at the top of the list. He wont make a move until he's sure he can win, or at least that's what his track record implies." He paused. "Omni would also be a target, as he is not only two Dimension Stones, but has a few as well. The Time Stones you've found will also be objects of interest to Chaos. Not in danger of being destroyed, as they need to exist, but contained."

Skylos crossed his arms. "Well. The only Relic I have is useful for bonking people on the head, or healing them completely." He tried to keep a certain level of humor available as a coping mechanism. That being said, it wasn't like there were only a dozen Relics in all of Reality. Removing them all would be considerably time-consuming. "Chaos does as it sees fit. Lygizo seemed to hate it with a passion." Granted, Lygizo was pretty passionate about the whole alignment system. "But it's not inherently good or evil. It's... really hard to understand it; maybe it's not possible to." Skylos shook his head. "Anyway. Omni can take care of himself, and we can as well." Granted, we may need to hasten finding the other Time Stones. Orimazo is looking into it...but...

Hunter R nodded at Skylos' understanding of things. "The best I understand is it's need to consume, probably due to it's own nature. I'm not sure how it gained the form it has, or why it want's to do what it wants, but it doesn't care for my lack of understanding. With any number of reality busting events, who knows what created it's form..."
"You report to Chaos though, so are you able to help us find him? It could save a lot of people from a grim fate." Edward asked.
Hunter R shook his head. "I may have first encountered Chaos on a dead terra, fleeing from my own problems, but Chaos drifts from place to place. It doesn't seem to be tethered to any one place, even with it's physical form. Chaos comes to me as it sees fit. Sometimes I just have a vision of my mission from it, so I must assume Chaos seeks out it's own targets. Plus, if Chaos learned of my betayal, I fear more then just my own life would be in danger." Hunter R then felt a chill, or rather you could tell he did by his emotions through his voice. "But...the world I met Chaos at first was Terra 112. You may not find anything there, but if you go...steel yourself. It made the fate of my own home Terra look like nothing in comparison...I'd never seen a more lifeless looking place."

Skylos pulled out his Light Prism and swiped through the interface for a moment. "Mm... 112... I haven't been there before..." Granted, he hadn't really been to very many Terrae in the first place, but it would have been nice to at least have some insight into it. "It's worth looking into. Even if there aren't many clues to find, well, I'd feel better than not having a lead in the first place, I guess." The emotions coming off of Renka thus far had not been lost on Skylos. "Your home Terra. Which one was that again?" He thought about maybe checking there as well...

Hunter R at first seemed hesitant to answer his second question. "...I suppose it doesn't matter anymore. You may check it if you wish, but I doubt you will find much. It's Terra 275. Though I haven't been there for a while, last I was there it was still being ruled by the traitor of our group, that Hanson Nightngale. Only survived because I knew how to exploit his weaknesses...He's both a chaos darkness human, and what he called a Runaknight. Let's him control that massive ball of Rune energy at his castle...our castle..." He paused for a second, before he chuckled to himself. "I haven't talked to another at this length for sometime, I'm rambling. I doubt it will help you, but who knows. That worlds fate isn't tied to me anymore..."
"Terra 275?...I've heard that number in TEC reports. I'd need to go over it again and see what I can learn from it." Edward mentioned, not knowing Skylos would probably know it all too well.

Post by Skylos on May 30, 2022 14:39:35 GMT -5
Skylos' face darkened as he looked downward towards the floor, his fist clenched around the Light Prism he held. "Terra 275: Dead Terra. Inhabitants: All Chaos Darkens. Zalendor. Giga. Others? None that I could find." It appeared that Edward would not need to find a report, because Skylos already had a personal one from a few years prior. "Is fate still pulling me around? I was just about to go there..." Giga had been the one he wanted to question first. Skylos suddenly had some choice words for Renka, but he held his tongue to remain civil. Skylos was very bothered now; Terra 275 greatly bothered him.

Post by Aqua on May 30, 2022 14:51:04 GMT -5
Edward nodded. "Zalendor, that was the name I saw in the reports. He's the Terra's current ruler I believe. I believe he's had a run in with the TEC's before during their Hunter R hunting. If I've heard of him, he must be a name of some degree in the Terra."
Hunter R chimed in at this, though not having much to say. "Zalendor was there during the last battle for reality. He too would be a target to chaos if he had his hand in keeping reality safe, but that's really all I know. So that's the type of person who's running it now..." Hunter R kept the rest of his thought to himself on what to do with that new information.
"It might be helpful if I join you, Mr. Pantech, as it's a matter connecting multiple Terra now, if you so wish." Edward chimed in.
Suddenly there was a light beeping coming from Hunter R, or rather his robot. "The energy in this robot is beginning to run out, and it will detonate when it reaches 0%. If you have anything more to ask me about these matters concerning Chaos, I suggest you ask them quick."

"I appreciate the sentiment, Edward, but I don't think it would be a good idea for you to go there. It's incredibly dangerous with Giga being there, and I wouldn't want to place you in that much potential danger. I never can tell what he will do." And Zalendor is unpredictable. Friend, or foe? His way of thinking is perplexing.
But then Skylos was interrupted by a time limit that had been conveniently withheld until now. "Seriously..." He had been put on the spot. "Have you received any further orders you can tell me about? Or, heck, any you haven't been able to do?" It was a long shot, but any scrap of information that could be used to 'connect the dots' so to say, could be useful.

"I can hold my own, but if this Terra is as dangerous as someone like yourself would suggest and find worry, then maybe it is for the best." Edward said, not takinf it personally.
Hunter R chuckled slightly when Skylos acknowledged him on the bomb issue. "Apologies, I haven't been keeping track of the battery life, seeing as I haven't been there physically. And to be honest, with the dreadful matter of chaos, it rather slipped my mind." He took Skylos' question when he heard it. "Aside from failing to capture The Eye of Wu Gong, I have not failed any assignment lately. The last one I failed prior to that was failing to capture the leader of Terra 480's World Savers, but that was due to Omni happening to be there at the time to stop me." He paused. "As for now, I haven't been given any assignments outside of escaping from this mess, which is why the robot is programed to explode, in the case that you never showed up. Might've taken out an officer or two. Consider the warning of said bomb a thank you for actually speaking with me, since I was ordered to catch this building off guard with it. Further missions will probably arrive once Chaos is aware I am out of your hands. No reason to waste time giving me assignments I cannot fulfill."
Edward looked slightly annoyed. "How generous of you." Though I suppose it's a good thing I arranged for Skylos to come. If nothing else, it may have saved lives today, and quite possibly help stop Hunter R in the long run...

Skylos nodded his head to Edward. "I'll keep you updated." He really didn't want Giga to be anywhere close to Edward.
Back to the bomb business, and the odd mention of Omni getting in the way. "Huh. I guess I should pick Omni's brain. Actually, if anyone knew anything about your chaotic friend, it would be him, wouldn't it?" Omni was immensely old; he had technically existed before the Reality had become realized. "Um. That being said, I guess we ought to do something about the bomb now, before it's too late." As much as he'd have like to have continued questioning him, it wouldn't do them any good to blow up after trying to fit in several quick 'one last questions'.

Hunter R chuckled a little. "I think I've already said anything of real substance. I can't really speak on much else." A few beeps went off, as the display of the face disappeared. Turns out it wasn't a real face inside, as it opened up to show the machinery underneath. "You will have to do it, since I am chained. Just disconnect the red wire from the red button, then disconnect the blue wire on the other end. It will disarm the robot, but it will shut me down." He paused for a moment. "Until we cross paths again."

It was moments like this that made Skylos wish he had spent a little more time with Eric, who seemed to tinker around a lot. Skylos could use a computer, but he wasn't an expert at robotics. "Sooner, rather than later...ok?" He said deliberately to Renka. Nodding his head slowly, he moved over to the robot. Of course, before he did anything he looked at Edward and got his opinion. "Um. I know it's a rather dangerous situation right now, but do I have the clearance to...um... technically tamper with evidence?" He gave a wry laugh. Assuming so, he'd quickly, but carefully, cut the wires as indicated. Otherwise, he'd stand by and wait for someone else to do it.

Edward laughed nervously. "Not normally, but I'd rather not die today. I'll take any heat that comes from it."
As Skylos proceeded to do as he was instructed, all the sounds coming from Hunter R suddenly stopped at once. A sound of a device powering down could be heard, as the robot then leaned back in its chair.
"Well...I must say, this isn't how I expected this interrogation to go." He gave a sigh of relief, glad they weren't being blown up today. Odds would've been that the explosion would've been massive.

"My life is filled with those kinds of moments. Way too many. At this point, I just kind of go with the flow and try not to get too surprised." Skylos sighed as he looked at the robot. "Well. Hopefully, the robot is still useful in some way. It not being the real deal is going to deal a massive blow to their morale, but hopefully, it also served as a reminder to always remain diligent." The Light Human felt bad for the TEC soldiers, but there wasn't much to be done now but start from square one. Of course, Skylos now had a busy day ahead of him...

Edward nodded in response to Skylos. "Indeed. Victory being at hand made us all hasty, myself included." He paused for a moment. "Though having you join me today did confirm some facts I was worried about. The matter of who Hunter R is remains a mystery, and in the end we could still be chasing the wrong man." He then looked at Skylos directly. "We'll examine the robot for clues, but before you leave maybe we should go to my place at the prosecutors office. I know you said you've encountered Renta before on your Terra, but maybe any additional information I have on him could prove useful to you before you follow up your leads off Terra."

Skylos nodded his head in reply. "The more information I have to go on, the better." Granted, it had been a long while since Renka had been there. Skylos didn't have much information in the first place. "I don't know when I will see him next, but I'd like to be a little more prepared for him." Skylos have a small laugh. It didn't bother him that much that he was unprepared this time. But Skylos knew that any time after this may be potentially... deadly.

"Then let us be off. I'll get together everything I know on him." Edward then proceeded to exit the room, met by Captain Rex. "Since this turned out to be a bust Captain, could you please move the robot to the lab for proper dismantling? Make sure they are aware of the bomb, we wouldn't want it to go off."
Captain Rex nodded. "Of course sir, we'll get right on it."
"Thank you much Captain. If you need me, contact me at my office. Come with me, Mr Pantech, we need to exit the building to teleport." Edward said as he started to walk out.

Skylos moved outside with Edward. Once again, he was met with the grand metropolis that was this whole Terra. "I'm glad to be outside for a moment. Despite the fact that the bomb was disarmed, it's nice to be in a large, open space instead, even if it's just for a moment."
|

|
Post by Aqua on Jun 2, 2022 18:27:17 GMT -5
Edward sighed. "If I am to be honest, I wasn't entirely sure I could believe that it was disarmed. I've dealt with so much of his trickery that had he not mentioned it himself, I would've thought it would still go off. He could've just kept us distracted long enough for it to go off. So not being stuck inside is refreshing." He snapped his fingers, as his shadow came to life to make a portal. "Though I can assure you my office is bomb free." He chuckled very slightly.

"There's...More to him than meets the eye. If he truly wanted to kill us, he wouldn't have arranged for me to be here in the first place; he'd have just blown you sky high, and he'd probably have tried to ambush me at some point in the future, considering I thought he was behind bars." Skylos frowned. "No. Instead, he made sure I know that he's not imprisoned." Seeing the portal appear, Skylos went through it with Edward once prompted. He chuckled a bit. "Well, I hope so, anyway." Maybe this was all to throw them off-guard, and the real bomb was planted by Hunter R in his office.

"There's so much to this mystery that remains to be seen, and more sides to hear. It just means I cannot rest until it's been solved, and this Chaos is gone." Edward said. Once Edward led the way through the portal, the would've led into his office, about maybe the size of a small apartment. Bookcases, comfortable seating arrangements with a small table with a tea set on it that looked forgin to this worlds and Skylos'. Aside from that, there was a nice wooden desk, and what looked to be a liquor cabinet. "Have a seat where you'd like. Would you like some tea, Mr. Pantech, or would you maybe like something a little stronger?"

Post by Skylos on Jun 2, 2022 19:13:25 GMT -5
Skylos appreciated the atmosphere of the office before he settled down into a seat. "Thanks for the offer, but I will have to pass this time." He meant on the strong drink. He might have said yes had the circumstances been different. He wasn't on a leisurely visit today, so he was trying to be on his best behavior. Their run-in at the Death bar on T2 had been fun since it was off the clock. Skylos had work to do this time. "Remind me. When did the Hunter R business start?" He was trying to establish a timeline in his head. Skylos and company had only been active a decade or so.

Edward wasn't offended at all, only offering if maybe Skylos wanted to calm his nerves, but Skylos was made of tougher stuff then that. He snapped his finger again, as his shadow went to his teapot and began to heat it using his shadow. He grabbed a file from his shelf, and joined Skylos in the seating area. His shadow poured them each a cup of what smelled like a apple green tea. His shadow then vanished, and he took a brief sip of his tea, before sitting it back down. "So it started back in 2008. Victor Nightingale, this Terra's leader, had been working on a special kind of powered armor. It was to be a new model for TEC troops to wear into battle, outfitted with the finest tech this Terra had to offer. It was meant to give even humans the power needed to be on par with powered kind, and usher in a new era of peace for this Terra, and maybe others as well so I'm told. Renka Stratford was head of security at the large tower in this city, which functioned as a base for this worlds World Savers, as well as Victor's lab and home to rule from. But a few days after Victor unveiled his creation, it was stolen." He took another brief sip, giving Skylos a moment to possess what he heard. "Now at the time, I wasn't on this Terra, so I'm basing this off the submitted evidence, but a number of pieces pointed to Renka, as well as him fleeing the Terra when he was attempted to be captured for questioning. It wasn't long after that before Hunter R was hitting up other Terra on his attacks."

Post by Skylos on Jun 2, 2022 19:58:36 GMT -5
Skylos was still wet behind the ears around that time. He kind of doubted he would remember anything useful about that time period. "Being chief of security would undoubtedly give you access to just about everything, after all." Skylos chimed in, not missing a beat. So Renka had already come here that long ago... That was certainly disheartening. Well. You can't expect everyone to lead a happy life, now can you Skylos? "Fleeing would make you suspicious, sure. But it would also make it easier to run your own private investigation. Granted, that would have only been helpful if he wasn't actually the thief and had evidence to prove that..." Otherwise it pretty much meant that he was holding up a giant billboard saying 'I did it!'. "Any patterns to his Terra attacks?" At this point, he took up the tea, taking a sip.

Post by Aqua on Jun 2, 2022 20:51:42 GMT -5
"I believe, if Renka isn't Hunter R, that's what he's doing. Sure, it does make him look guilty, but this Terra already placed full blame on him. Even Victor, who was friends with Renka when they did world saving together, believed he betrayed him." He paused, taking another sip. "This is what I find wrong with it. If Renka did it, why be so clumsy to leave evidence behind? Hunter R has proven to be a very capable planner, just look at his decoy to escape your Terra under a lockdown. It was brilliant. I find it hard to believe that Renka would've made such a mistake." He then reached into the file, pulling out a paper.
