Prologue
Our heroes wait in the scorching heat of the Shamarian Desert. It was torture waiting the the hot sun, with nothing but red banners flung up high for shade. But the promise was worth the wait. They all waited to see what Archeologists were calling the Obelisk, a sunken tower just recently discovered due to an earthquake. People crowded and shoved, trying to sneak peeks past the guards in hopes of getting the first glimpse of the structure. But just then, an elderly man dressed in tan shorts, a dirtied white shirt, and a hat just like Indiana Jones walked forward and bellowed," Ladies and gentlemen, it is my great honor to reveal the archeological find of the century: the magnificent Obeslisk!"

Just as he was about to order the guards to move aside, a massive tremor shook the ground. Everyone was thrown about like childs' toys. From dark sand, they saw the masseive Obelisk rise from the gorge, glowing a dark red like Demon's eyes. The shaking seemed to have no end, but just as the tower breached the clouds, the tremor stopped and all was at peace. For a moment, that is.

Red veins, roots of neon light spread from the canyon and turned the spectators to crystal. Among them were the Archeologists, a few of the guards, Alice Maeda, and several dozen other bystanders. As the lights extended, everyone was mixed up and scattered into groups...

Group 1 story
"RAY! ALICE!!! ANYONE THERE!?!" Mazda yelled as he stood on the edge of the dig site. The wind was howling, and he'd just barely escaped the Obelisk's grasp. It was warm. He wasn't used to such heat with a big mane. But it didn't bother him. Mazda had to find friends, or anyone really, to find out just what was going on.

Gale walked behind him. "What the heck just happened?" He stares up at the large Tower in frount of them.

He turned to Gale. Finally he thought a farmiliar face, or any face at all for that matter. He looked at the tower, scraping againt the afternoon sun as he said," I'm not sure, but whatever it is it's deffinitely not good."

Gale sighed. "I figured that much. Did you find anybody?" He looks around.

"Uhh, only one..." he said, pointing to a crystalized Alice standing in the ruins of a tent and some crates. She looked frightened, scared. Mazda looked away and said,' whatever happens, don't tell Ray. I'll break it to him myself."

On the other side, Are a couple looking at the tower, With some confusion

Scratching her head in a confused manner, she looks at the tower "What is this, Honey?" Selenia said, looking back at Memphis, confusedly.

Memphis carefully analyzed the oblisk but soon gave up and gave a sigh. "Beats me hon." he says. Memphis turns his attention to Selenia and bares a stern face. "But I am picking up some very bad vibes from this thing." He crosses his arms, the stern look not softening due to worry.

Turning her confusion into a thinking expression, she then comes up with an idea. She then turns her attention back at the Obelisk. "Maybe, I can do a scan on this things Reiatsu. Or maybe see if this thing is a barrier to the other world. One thing's for sure, It's how much research I'm going to have to do on this...". Giving more thought, she lets out a gentle sigh. "Maybe if we look around the perimeter, we might find someone responcible for this. What do you think?"

He smiles and scratches his hair. "Try not to overthink my love. We will figure this thing out in due time." Looks around and thinks about what she said "Although it is a great idea for us to look around. Come on" Walks off ahead, looking around with extreme caution.

Selenia looks at Memphis walking off, then gives a greif look at the thing. ''This feeling...it feels similar...to what I've felt before in the past...what is it? ''Giving last thought, she regroups with Memphis, looking around, holding the handle of her sword just in case. "I have a bad feeling something bad's gonna happen, Honey.."

Memphis looks back to Selenia as he walks "You and me both Hon.... you and me both" he says with a tone of massive distaste due to concern. He returns his attention to looking for anything that can give answers to the situation at hand.

"Whatever this thing did...It did so much damage to the area, Something I've never seen. More then what Captain-Commander can do...How strange...It's not even from the soul society." Crossing her arms, she gives a huge thought of whats happening. "There's been alot of things happening...There's been less reports, less changes in weather, in everything...This is getting scary, you can't even fit the puzzle pieces together..."

On the otherside of the Tower

"I think I'll go check the otherside" Gale says as he runs to the otherside.

"Good idea," Mazda said, searching through tents filled with magnifying glasses, old artifacts, and anything else you'd expect to find in a dig site," Man, that Obelisk sure did a number on this place."

Gale reaches the otherside of the Obelisk in a few seconds. " Hello? Anybody there?

Mazda ran to Gale, taking throwing him over his shoulders as he took Gale away from the gorge. "Gale, don't get near it!" he said, reffering to the people touched by the red light," It's not safe."

staggering backward, Gale stands up straight. "Thanks for the heads up Maz'."

"No prob," he said, noticing Light and Memph walking through the remains of the tents.

"I swear I could have heard some voices coming from here" Memphis says as his patience begins to wear thin.

"Memph!!!" Mazda said, waving his hand in the air to get their attention. He then ran to them, not only because of the joy, but so they wouldn't have to get any closer to the veins.

Selenia sees the lion running towards them, not recocgnizing him, she gets in a battle stance. "Do you know him, Hon?"

Memphis scans the newcomer and frowns "No.... " He gets into a battle stance as well. "Be ready for anything Hon!"

Mazda stopped. He looked at them, confused as they were. But it was also somewhat fun. He grinned, looking down at his friend he'd once been at eye level with. Crossing his arms, he said,' What, don't recognize your ex boyfriend Sel?"

All she did was gasp, then get into a normal position. Looking at Mazda like she was seeing a ghost, but she knew it was all real. "M-M-Mazda...is that really...you...?" Her soft voice cracking at the surprisement of seeing him.

Memphis stands up straight and gains a massive smile on his face. "Mazda! Bro!" He says with the utmost happiness.

"The one and only,' he said, turning to Memph with a grin.

With a lattle bit of tears in her eyes, she uses flash step to get closer to him, then once she has she gives him a tight hug, tears instantly falling out "I c-can't believe it's you..!"

Group 3 story
"ALICE!!!!!" Ray screamed from atop a mountain of crates. His hand were cupped around his mouth as he screamed, searching among a maze of crystal bodies, stopped in time like manequins.

Endac: dude i don't think they can hear ya *shooting an arrow at a painted on target on the crates*

"Endac?" he asked as he climbed down" Did you see her? Did you see Alice?!"

Flying way up in the skies, Cuoleputure sees Endac and Ray from afar, but ignores them for a while, flying around the crystalized bodies. Are the dead...?

"ALICE!!!" Ray resumes, searching the bodies for his fiance," Where are you Alice!?!"

Poor human...Maybe he's looking for his relative or a close one...his problem for loosing it...He gives a thought, then begins to flying downwards to where Endac and Ray are. My last time helping some pathetic human...I hope they learn to take good care for their things.... As he clears his thought of everything, he lands heavily a few feet away from where Ray is.

"What the-' was all Ray could mutter before clouds of sand, blown up from Cuolepture's wings, hit him dead in the face," Man, watch where you land!!!"

Endac: *flaps his own Dragonwings to clear the dust* *puts his bow away and sits down* well this will take awhile, tell me when we're heading out

"We don't leave until we-......" Ray said, wipping the sand from his eyes. As he opened them, he saw a particular statue before him and said," ....find Alice...." He then ran to the statue, the crystalized body stuck in the sand.

Letting his face show no emotion to the two, he gives his attention to Ray. "What is all this yelling about a girl named Alice? What is with all this negative pulse flowing around here...?" Cuoleputure takes a good look of all the crystalized bodies, then instantly giving his attention back to Ray.

Ray stopped at the statue, realizind it was Alice, frozen as nothing more than a facy rock. He held back his tears, stuttering," A-Alice.....why....?"

Cuoleputure suddenly feels the sympathy in Ray, then begins to walk towards him, resting his hand on his shoulder. "This human, is the one Alice?" Feeling a bit of sorrow for him, he comes up with a solution to fix the problem, but he can't think of anything at the moment.

"Yeah," he replied with a choked up voice. Knealing to Alice, he said," It's okay. I just....I promise Alice....I'll find who did this to you..."

What a strong promise for a powerless human... "Do you wan't to find out who did this to your beloved one?"

"Yeah...." he said, charging the Angel Core on the back of his hand. As it glowed a blue, light, he said," And I'm not powerless. I'm Sharyar Takiyama, Evangeline member of the Angels! And I will protect those who need it, from every threat no matter the risk!"

Cuoleputure's snake-like eye pupils grow very thin, so he can read my thoughts...interesting..."Then we will go find whoever did this, I will help along the way. I am Cuoleputure the Pheonolf, Last surviving species of my group, one of the oldest things on this earth. You might need my power."

"Then, I appreciate the help..." Ray said. Once the circle was at it's brightest, he pointed it in front of him. A beam shot out, expanding into a Celtic circle. Once he leaped through it, Ray became a large dragon, with gray fur and black horns blowing in the breeze. His wings spread out as he looked at the others with a stare that said," Get on."

Cuoleputure opens up his own wings, spreading them as wide as ever. "I have my own transportation, thank you for the offer though."

(Alright. Just, join in whenever you feel like it.)

Group 4 story
A distance away from the towering Obelisk, a cloaked figure was crouched upon a bough of a tree, observing the monolith.

"An interesting structure," the figure murmured to himself. He stood up, red eyes visible from his hood.

"But no concern of mine...unless..."

Marcus (formerly Ookamoni) climbed up a nearby canyon, observing the great tower. He held his hand to his forehead, shielding his eyes from the sun. His brown fur blew with the wind, a black shirt and dirtied blue jeans his new attire. With awe and shock, he asked," What is this thing?"

Bodaen was on the bottom of that canyon his ship out of power "dam........well where did the others go.........i've lost my crew and now i'm alone at the bottom of a canyon" (Endac's Spirit appears in fron of him) hey Bo, use the pendant, they have more power then you think. (dissipates) " well then" *touches the pendant and it transforms into a Dragon* "WHOA" (dragon: hello master, my name is Draelin) "(Bodaen) cool so now i have transportation............" *remembers what endac always says to him* (Endac: the salvation of the Drakos Species.............that is my mission, and so is it yours Bodaen ShadowWolf) "(Bodaen) well then come on Draelin, lets head out

Meanwhile, the cloaked figure was traveling towards the Obelisk.

"I wouldn't do that," Marcus said, watching the strange figure," See those red veins? They're coming from Obelisk, and I think they're what made everyone like this..."

The figure ignored him, looking down at the red veins, but not touching them.

"Hmmm..." Marcus though, curious and somewhat annoyed at his new, hooded acquaintance, "So what's your deal?"

"My 'deal'?"

"I mean why are you here? You don't look like you'd be at the opening, so what?"

"This, 'Obelisk', you call it...it's interesting, no? It only crystallizes sentient, organic beings, apparently, judging from all of the crystallized people I've seen..."

"Yeah..." Marcus replied, "From the looks of things, those veins convert Organic Chaos into Crystallized Chaos...but why...?"

"I don't know what 'Organic Chaos' is," said the cloaked being. "And I can't say that I care. What does matter is why this monolith is here in the first place..."

"Well, I could explain it in a few moments..." he said, growing more annoyed with the figure," ...but you don't care, do you....you....who are you anyways?"

"My name," the figure said, looking down a bit. "I've...forgotten it..."

He looked back up at Marcus.

"But...you may call me 'The Unmaker'..."

"Unmaker...." he thought aloud. Marcus then looked back to Unmaker and said," Well then, if you're intent on finding who did this, we should get going."

"Very well," he said, removing his hood. His face was a mixture of animal and alien, with a narrow snout and no nose, and four long, tufted "ears", with the upper pair being shorter, while the lower pair hung down.

"You say you can explain this?"

"Somewhat," Marcus said. He wasn't very shocked, as he was surprised, at Unmaker's appearance. As Ookamoni, he created hundreds of experiments far more grotesque and unnatural. But that didn't matter. Instead Marcus looked him in the eye and said, "Chaos is the Life force, or Mana, that keeps our planet Mobius functioning. Organic Chaos is what makes up living things, like animals or plants. Crystallized Chaos is the equivalent of Petrified tree bark. But the conversion can't occur...without an activator..."

"So if all Chaos crystallizes, then this planet dies."
